“The Americans are creating all of the highlight reels…they’re loaded with birdie machines.” – Paul Azinger

“Max Homa is in full show-off mode…what a moment for this guy.” – Azinger following his birdie to win on the 18^th hole

DAY TWO

UNITED STATES TEAM

Paul Azinger: “The Americans are creating all of the highlight reels…they’re loaded with birdie machines. It’s been clutch shot, clutch putt, one after another.”

Azinger on Max Homa following his approach and birdie on the 18^th hole: “Max Homa is in full show-off mode…what a moment for this guy.”

Dan Hicks: “The continues to rise for Max Homa…he’s just been on this surge the last couple of years to prove it to everyone, and himself, and you bet he does belong – big time.”

Paul McGinley on Live From: “The emotion that you are seeing from the American side shows how much this means to them. Even though the scoreline is a runaway success for the Americans, the fact that they are so bought into this tells you a lot about the spirit of the American team.”

Brandel Chamblee on Live From: “This is a case of, ‘Whatever you can do, we can do better.’ This U.S. team is so strong that it makes you forget how good this International team is.”

Max Homa to Steve Sands on winning today’s match on the 18^th hole and playing in the last group: “That’s a day I will never forget…it’s pretty surreal to have 10 of the best golfers I’ve ever seen in my life watching me, but then you’ve got to help them. It’s a heavy weight, but it’s also really fun. It’s something that we live for.”

John Wood on the U.S. pairing of Cantlay/Schauffele: “They don’t even need to talk to the captains anymore. ‘Just tell us our tee time for the first round and we’ll see you there.’ Just throwing more and more coal on the fire and when they get the train going, it’s unbelievable how good they play together.”

Azinger on Justin Thomas’ near-ace on the 14^th hole: “He blew the lid off this place with that shot.”

Hicks on Sam Burns’ 80-foot eagle putt on the par-5 7^th: “That’s just the kind of putt that reverberates around Quail Hollow.”

INTERNATIONAL TEAM

Azinger on what he’d say to the team if he was in captain Trevor Immelman’s shoes: “I’d message to my team, ‘As much as it looks like we’re getting blown out, we’re only a few putts away here from being very close to these guys.’ Tee-to-green, the Internationals have held in there beautifully…At some point, he’s going to have to give a message where those guys have the same kind of confidence they would ordinarily when they play every week. But right now, they look like they feel like they’re second-best.”

McGinley: “Again – a really slow start. I can’t stress enough the importance of the first six holes in these match play events over 18 holes. They came out of the blocks slow and going against a ferocious competitor – which America is this week – it’s a long way back.”

Chamblee on Sungjae Im: “He has been so impressive through these first two days, through this entire year – it’s almost a breakout year for him.”

Azinger on Taylor Pendrith’s birdie make on the 18^th hole: “This is what it looks like when you bow up. He did it for his teammate, he did it for his captain and everybody he represents.”

Azinger on Tom Kim: “He’s just incredible. I mean he’s only 20 years old. I just don’t know how we can not be a superstar – possibly a future No. 1 player in the world.”

NOTES AND QUOTES – THE 2022 PRESIDENTS CUP ON GOLF CHANNEL AND PEACOCK (DAY 1)

September 22, 2022 By admin Leave a Comment

“It’s another resounding lead for the Americans after foursomes play.” – Dan Hicks on the United States’ 4-1 lead over the Internationals

“It looked like a blowout coming in on paper. It smells like a blowout after the first sessions.” – Brandel Chamblee on Live From The Presidents Cup

“It’s just taking a risk. It makes it hard to go in there and be a motivational guy if you just got beat 6-down or 5-down.” – Azinger on sending Adam Scott/Hideki Matsuyama pairing first

STAMFORD, Conn. – Sept. 22, 2022 – NBC Sports presented exclusive coverage of Day 1 of the 2022 Presidents Cup at Quail Hollow Club in Charlotte, N.C., followed by Golf Central Live From The Presidents Cup post-round coverage, on GOLF Channel and Peacock. The United States team leads the International team 4 to 1 after Day 1 foursomes matches.

Tomorrow’s four-ball coverage begins at 11:30 a.m. ET on GOLF Channel and Peacock.

Rich Lerner, Brandel Chamblee and Paul McGinley anchored Live From The Presidents Cup post-round coverage. Following are notes and quotes from today’s coverage.

DAY ONE

UNITED STATES TEAM

Dan Hicks: “It’s another resounding lead for the Americans after foursomes play.”

Brandel Chamblee on Live From: “It looked like a blowout coming in on paper. It smells like a blowout after the first sessions.”

Paul McGinley on Live From: “It’s what many of us expected, that the Americans would be dominant – and they were.”

Paul Azinger on the U.S. pairing of Collin Morikawa/Cameron Young: “In this format, you want to get players who complement each other’s games. This team could be a force.”

Hicks on Americans’ hot start: “The last thing that (International captain) Trevor Immelman wanted to see is this American juggernaut get out and get the steam rolling down the tracks.”

Azinger on Young’s 25-foot birdie make on 17^th hole to close out match vs. Kim/Lee: “That’s a big confidence booster for Cam Young. He missed a few putts today that he could have made, but that was a big putt to close it all out.”

Hicks: “Jordan Spieth calls Xander Schauffele the funniest guy in the team room. You might not see that because he’s all business here, but he’s called the silent assassin as well. There’s not a more respected player on the American side than Xander Schauffele, and he and Cantlay just proved it again.”

INTERNATIONAL TEAM

Azinger on strategy of Adam Scott/Hideki Matsuyama International team pairing: “It’s just taking a chance…it’s like when all of the (American) captains would put Tiger Woods out first. If they beat Tiger Woods, the other team would get so jacked up. I’m afraid the same thing could happen here with Adam Scott, the team leader, and Hideki Matsuyama getting waxed. It makes it hard to go in there and be a motivational guy if you just got beat 6-down or 5-down…you can be critical or second-guess Trevor Immelman, but the American team is loaded. He strategically said I’m putting my veterans out there first, but there’s risk in that. They’re the team leaders, the guys that put their arms around the younger players. If they go out there and get walloped, it going to be difficult to do that.”

Azinger: “They’re clearly overmatched on the greens. Tee-to-green there hasn’t been that much of a difference.”

McGinley: “Dispiriting for the Internationals. It ends up being a demoralizing day for them…the mountain was high and it just got higher.”

McGinley on Si Woo Kim/Cam Davis coming back to defeat Scottie Scheffler/Sam Burns: “A little bit of shining light here for the Internationals. This was a really good comeback, a great fight by the Internationals.”

Chamblee on Cam Davis: “You have to tip your cap to Cam Davis. He hit some of the best shots of the day.”

John Wood on the Scott/Matsuyama vs. Schauffele/Cantlay match with the Americans up 5 on the 13^th hole: “If you’re way up in these matches, a funny thing starts to happen. The carts start to follow you around for the shuttle ride in because they think you have a chance to close it out. It’s great when you’re up, but when you’re down, it feels like the buzzards are circling.”

Azinger on the International team: “You can’t expect to win holes with pars. (The Americans) are too good.”

Azinger following Adam Scott’s birdie putt miss on the 10^th hole: “It’s easy to see why the International side is behind right now. They’re just not holing any putts…the Internationals have five players outside the Top 100 in putting. That’s not to say they can’t run the table. It’s the difference-maker so far today.”

Flexible scheduling will be used in Weeks 11-18. Additionally, in Weeks 5-10, flexible scheduling may be used in no more than two weeks. In Weeks 5-17, the schedule lists the games tentatively set for Sunday Night Football on NBC. Only Sunday afternoon games are eligible to be moved to Sunday night, in which case the tentatively scheduled Sunday night game would be moved to an afternoon start time.

For Week 18, two Saturday games and the Sunday night game will be announced no later than six days prior to January 9. The schedule does not list Saturday games or a Sunday night game in Week 18, but games with playoff implications will be moved to those time slots. Flexible scheduling ensures quality matchups in all Sunday time slots in those weeks and gives “surprise” teams a chance to play their way into primetime.

PETER KING SPEAKS WITH DOLPHINS HEAD COACH MIKE MCDANIEL, 49ERS HEAD COACH KYLE SHANAHAN, AND JAGUARS QB TREVOR LAWRENCE IN THIS WEEK’S “FMIA” COLUMN

September 19, 2022 By admin Leave a Comment

“The weight should be lifted off your shoulders. All you did was do exactly what we talked about. Hopefully at least for a week you can shut up all the people that you’re trying not to listen to.” – Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel on what he said to Tua Tagovailoa after Miami’s comeback win over the Ravens

“Our team really loves Trey. But these guys, they plan on winning games regardless of the obstacles…We’ll be somber Monday morning, but this league doesn’t wait for anybody.” – 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan after losing Trey Lance to a season-ending injury

“Parsons is the kind of player who affects the game the way Lawrence Taylor once did.” – King on Cowboys LB Micah Parsons

STAMFORD, Conn. – Sept. 19, 2022 – Peter King recaps NFL Week 2 and speaks with Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel, 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan, and Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence after their Week 2 victories in this week’s edition of Football Morning in America, available now exclusively on NBCSports.com. King also discusses Trey Lance’s season-ending injury, the Cardinals’ comeback win over the Raiders, the emergence of Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown, and more.

The following are highlights from this week’s edition of Football Morning in America:

MIAMI DOLPHINS

Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel to King on the Dolphins’ resiliency in their comeback win over the Ravens: “Typically in the NFL, you have to learn hard lessons the bad way. I was proud they were able to learn a lesson of mental fortitude in a game where it got out of hand super quickly.”

King on Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa silencing his critics: “After the first two weeks of this season, after going to 4-0 against New England and strafing Baltimore with a six-touchdown game, maybe the world (and Tua himself) will finally believe the quarterback of the future in Miami is the quarterback of the present.”

McDaniel to King on what he said to Tagovailoa after the game: “The weight should be lifted off your shoulders, man. All you did was do exactly what we talked about. Hopefully at least for a week you can shut up all the people that you’re trying not to listen to.”

McDaniel to King on the play that resulted in Tagovailoa’s 48-yard touchdown pass to Tyreek Hill in the fourth quarter: “Tua knew he liked the opportunity there. He goes, ‘Yeah, third-and-12, third-and-long, I really like the F-it play.’”

McDaniel on the play call: “We had a play ready, in case things weren’t going right, or in case there were various frustrations. We installed that play with the expletives, that the quarterbacks knew as the ‘F— it’ play. Tua loved the play. If we really needed to make something happen, that was the play we’d call.”

SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS

49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan to King on losing QB Trey Lance to a season-ending injury: “I mean, you just deal with it. You’ve got to. Our team really loves Trey. But these guys, they plan on winning games regardless of the obstacles…We’ll be somber Monday morning, but this league doesn’t wait for anybody.”

Shanahan to King on having both Lance and Jimmy Garoppolo: “It’s a long time since this franchise had a quarterback situation like this one, with two guys we know can win — probably back to Joe Montana and Steve Young. I’m not comparing these guys to Joe and Steve, but I’m talking about going into games now knowing we’ve still got a great chance.”

King on Garoppolo: “Garoppolo’s a metronome: You know exactly what you’re getting with him, and if the Niners can stay relatively healthy on defense, they should be able to be strong playoff contenders again — even after the crushing news of Sunday.”

King on Lance’s future: “He’ll enter 2023 mostly the same way he entered 2022: with tremendous uncertainty…(Kyle) Shanahan will profess confidence in him, and it’s likely he’ll believe it. But Lance will still be a major question mark, and as for who will backstop him then…that’s too far in the future to matter this morning.”

WEEK 2

Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence to King on his performance in Jacksonville’s win over the Colts: “Our plan was to take what the defense gave us…I think that’s just a good lesson in general for us moving forward…make the play that’s there. That’s the next step I’ve been trying to take is just being really smart with the ball, knowing where my outlets are.”

Lawrence to King on new head coach Doug Pederson: “I think we’re really similar personality-wise. I’ve enjoyed getting to know him and then on the football field and he’s a really smart coach.”

King on the Broncos’ coaching decisions: “That is one messed-up sideline, and the Broncos are lucky to be 1-1.”

King on the Colts’ loss to the Jaguars: “Should we really be surprised that Matt Ryan and the Colts still can’t win in Jacksonville? I don’t think so.”

KING’S WEEK 2 AWARDS

Offensive Players of the Week: Tua Tagovailoa, Miami, Amon-Ra St. Brown, Detroit, Kyler Murray, Arizona, & Joe Flacco, New York Jets.

King on Tagovailoa: “In a performance that would make Dan Marino jealous…He completed 72 percent of his throws for 469 yards, six TDs and two picks in one of the greatest performances in the history of a proud franchise.”

King on Murray’s two-point conversion run in the fourth quarter: “Murray scrambled/ran/survived for 20.87 seconds on a two-point conversion run in the fourth quarter to keep the Cardinals in the game and trailing 23-15. That’s one of the most amazing plays I’ve ever seen a quarterback make.”

Defensive Players of the Week: Jamel Dean, Tampa Bay, Jaylen Watson, Kansas City, Aidan Hutchinson, Detroit, & Micah Parsons, Dallas.

King on Dean: “His two fourth-quarter interceptions won the game for Tampa Bay…On a day when the Tampa offense sputtered for the second straight week, the defense, and Dean, picked the Bucs up.”

King on Parsons: “Two sacks, five hits of Joe Burrow, and a commanding presence in a game the Dak Prescott-less Cowboys desperately needed, and got. Parsons is the kind of player who affects the game the way Lawrence Taylor once did.”

Coach of the Week: Mike McDaniel, Miami.

King on McDaniel: “He has built in short order a rapport with the quarterback and the team that allows them to think it’s not over when they’re down by three touchdowns with 12 minutes to go. And it wasn’t.”

Special Teams Players of the Week: Devin Duvernay, Baltimore.

King on Duvernay: “His 103-yard kickoff return for touchdown on the first play of the Dolphins-Ravens game was remarkable for its speed and for the hopelessness of the Miami defenders…Not bad for Duvernay, the 92^nd pick in the 2020 draft who has far outplayed his draft slot.”

Goats of the Week: Gunner Olszewski, Pittsburgh, Cade York, Cleveland, & the Colts.

King on the Colts: “They just aren’t that good. Of all the games of the (Chris) Ballard-(Frank) Reich Era, Sunday’s 24-0 loss at Jacksonville is the most embarrassing.”

NEWS & NOTES

Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes to King on his heart rate during games: “When you’re playing, you’re focused. You’re not really worried about what’s going on outside. You’re trying to do your job and win the football game. For me, you go back to your routine. I think that’s why you saw my heart rate kinda lower when I played than when I was watching, when I didn’t have control of the game watching from the sidelines. There was nothing I could do.”

Lions WR Amon-Ra St. Brown to King on how falling to the fourth round in the 2021 NFL Draft motivates him: “It was a day I’ll never forget. But it changed who I am, the way I work, the way I see things. When I get tired in a workout, I won’t quit — I’ll do extra. When I think about that day, that flips the switch for me, and it makes me work harder and longer.”

King on the Steelers’ QB problems: “I think there will be a chorus of ‘it’s way too early for that,’ and I understand that sentiment. But is Kenny Pickett warming up in the bullpen yet? The (Mitchell) Trubisky-led offense has put up 30 points in nine offensive quarters…(that) won’t cut it long-term.”

Chargers RB Austin Ekeler to King on the physical toll of playing in the NFL: “What I’ve found is the adrenaline makes you not feel any pain in a place like that…But it’s normal soreness for this game. A normal person might be saying, ‘Whoa, this hurts.’ But I’m a football player. I actually feel pretty good.”

King on the NFL’s inconsistent stance with instant replay: “I still favor replay, used correctly, because we don’t want games decided on egregiously incorrect calls. The league needs to re-familiarize itself with the definition of clear, obvious and indisputable, before it’s too late and owners and coaches get fed up with a system that all too often is capricious.”

NOTES & QUOTES FROM WEEK 2 EDITION OF FOOTBALL NIGHT IN AMERICA ON NBC AND PEACOCK

September 18, 2022 By admin Leave a Comment

“You can feel the history of this place just pulling into the parking lot.” — Jac Collinsworth on Lambeau Field

“The offense that was set up for Trey (Lance), that’s on the shelf for a year, and now they’re going to go back to their old offense (with Jimmy Garoppolo), and they know how to run that offense well. They’re going to be fine.” – Tony Dungy on the 49ers QB situation

“Coop was a free agent with us out of Central Michigan. From minute one, low blood pressure, poised – we saw all of that today.” – Jason Garrett on Cowboys QB Cooper Rush

“I don’t know how the Bengals can survive with this type of play from the offensive line not protecting their franchise in Joe Burrow.” – Chris Simms on the Bengals

Peacock Sunday Night Football Final Streams EXCLUSIVELY on Peacock Following Bears-Packers and Every Sunday Night Football Game During 2022 Season

STAMFORD, Conn. – Sept. 18, 2022 – NBC Sports’ presentation of Week 2 of the 2022 NFL season began tonight from Lambeau Field in Green Bay, Wis., with Football Night in America leading into coverage of Bears-Packers on Sunday Night Football on NBC and Peacock.

Following are highlights from tonight’s edition of Football Night in America on NBC and Peacock:

ON BEARS

Garrett on Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: “Matt was on our staff in Dallas for seven years. The Saturday night defensive meeting was can’t-miss. (He) would go into demonstrations of how you tackle, pictures of 1910 football players, hamstring tackles, how to punch the ball out. He believes in fundamentals – it’s the DNA that comes from you, Coach Dungy – with that Tampa 2 defense years ago. That’s how this defense plays.”

Dungy on Eberflus: “Their mentality is we’re not going to fool you, but we’re going to outhit you and outhustle you, and his players are starting to believe.”

Harrison on Eberflus: “He’s a no-nonsense guy. He’s a great communicator. What I love about him most is he holds his players accountable. We saw that offensively last week, just how physical (the Bears) played…and defensively, they played with a lot of discipline.”

ON PACKERS

Jac Collinsworth on Lambeau Field: “You can feel the history of this place just pulling into the parking lot.”

Simms on QB Aaron Rodgers’ struggles in Week 1 loss: “We know Rodgers is still super talented. He’s got one of the best arms in the game, but one of the things I do worry about is a lack of aggressiveness at times.”

Harrison on the Packers’ defensive struggles: “I look at the defensive coordinator, Joe Barry. He’s got one of the most talented teams that the Packers have had in the last 10 years and he’s playing so conservative…(He needs to) allow these guys to play and get after it.”

ON 49ERS

Dungy on 49ers QB Jimmy Garoppolo taking back the starting job: “I think the big thing for the 49ers is Kyle Shanahan knows this quarterback. This isn’t a new guy that you’re hoping to see what he can do. He knows exactly what he likes, what he’s good at, and he’ll be able to tailor that offense to him…The offense that was set up for Trey (Lance), that’s on the shelf for a year, and now they’re going to go back to their old offense (with Jimmy Garoppolo), and they know how to run that offense well. They’re going to be fine.”

ON BUCCANEERS

Dungy on the Buccaneers’ win over the Saints: “When I spoke to Todd Bowles last week, he told me, ‘We are not going to beat this team just throwing it up and down the field. We’ve got to make some plays on defense. We’ve got to be more physical.’ They kept giving the ball to Leonard Fournette, and eventually (Tom) Brady made the critical throw to win it, but it was physicality.”

ON BENGALS

Simms on 0-2 start: “Some of the issues we saw last year are rearing their ugly head once again here and in fact I don’t know if they don’t look worse. The offensive line is supposed to be better this year…it didn’t matter. They had no answer for the Cowboys pass rush throughout the game…(On Cowboys’ six QB sacks) If it weren’t for Joe Burrow and how slippery he is, it would have been double-digit sacks. I don’t know how the Bengals can survive with this type of play from the offensive line not protecting their franchise in Joe Burrow.”

Dungy on the Bengals’ 0-2 start: “It’s the way they’re losing to me — offensive line issues, Joe Burrow getting hit a lot, and today the defense let them down against Dallas.”

ON COWBOYS

Garrett, who was head coach of the Cowboys for 10 seasons, on his former player Cowboys QB Cooper Rush: “Coop was a free agent with us out of Central Michigan. From minute one, low blood pressure, poised – we saw all of that today.”

ON DOLPHINS

Simms on Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa’s performance in the Dolphins’ comeback win over the Ravens: “Tua was nice. His composure was great. We had a lot of questions about him being able to push the ball down the field. He did that today to Tyreek Hill and (Jaylen) Waddle. They’re a fast football team.”

ON STEELERS

Taylor: “You heard head coach Mike Tomlin say after the game that they are looking for some more splash plays. They have not found their offensive rhythm yet.”

Dungy: “They haven’t, and I hate to disagree with Coach Tomlin, I don’t think they need splash, I think they need physicality upfront, get that running game going.”

Garrett: “Think about how the Steelers have played for 40 or 50 years – physical, tough defense, and they’ve gotten away from that a little bit.”

Simms: “They can’t run the football. Their O-line has been overpowered in both games…It’s not time for a quarterback change, let’s just pump the breaks.”

ON GIANTS

Garrett: “How about Daniel Jones? Give him some credit. The number one trait for Daniel Jones is mental toughness and it showed up today. Some big throws for first downs in critical moments, and then he used his feet at the end of the game to seal the deal.”

ON JAGUARS

Simms on the Jaguars after their Week 2 victory over the Colts: “They’ve got talent at receiver, we know their quarterback is coming of age, they got some running backs, and the draft and free agency additions they’ve added through this offseason have just been phenomenal. Jacksonville, watch out for them.”

Garrett: “They look the part, they’re physical, they’re tough. This front seven dominated the game. Matt Ryan was uncomfortable from play one. He had white shirts all around him and they were dominant.”
