Speaker 2 (00:22):
Good Morning Football, Great morning to talk about football, Great
morning to talk about rare things that happen in the game.
We are presented by Old Trepper, Beat Jerky Live in
New York and LA. It's Friday, December twentyeth. This is
Akwar Bars Bia, Milla, Peter Straker, Kyle Brent, Manti, Tao
at the table. I'm Jamie r at All. We got
a lot of studio movement happening next week. We're partnering
(00:44):
with Netflix, so we're not going to be too a
final day that I got to wear my Santa running
a marathon holding a cocktail sweater so with a fanny pack.
So I just figured like this is the day that
you got to well, they got to bring this one out.
Speaker 3 (00:57):
Of the closet.
Speaker 4 (00:57):
That's this year.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
It's a nice sweater.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
Thank you, appreciate that. I like Manti sweat sweater better.
Speaker 5 (01:02):
Thank you, Thank you.
Speaker 3 (01:03):
Guys.
Speaker 5 (01:03):
As you know, there's a game.
Speaker 6 (01:04):
What is that?
Speaker 3 (01:05):
There's a game tonight, guys. So over there in Indiana,
tune in.
Speaker 5 (01:09):
Fight and Irish are taking on the Hoosiers. The Hoosier daddy,
gonna be the Irish, a lot of good Irish.
Speaker 3 (01:18):
What is the story of that jersey? We don't understand
is that your I've never I was gifted this jersey.
Speaker 4 (01:24):
I've never worn it before.
Speaker 5 (01:25):
And then I was like, you know what, there's a
great game tonight. I always like to be on topic
on you know, kind of on that same kind of vibe,
and so I put it on. Gratefully, I'm grateful that
it still fits.
Speaker 3 (01:35):
But it's a part.
Speaker 5 (01:36):
It has all the national championships guys on the bottom
of it, obviously, nineteen eighty eight being the last one
in a while ago, so hopefully we get it twenty
twenty four on there. But it starts tonight, first game
of the playoffs for the North Dame Fighting Irish Gold
Coach Freeman, we.
Speaker 6 (01:50):
Can do this this get here, we go, go Coach Signatty.
Let's go Indiana, Let's go.
Speaker 3 (01:57):
Who's your daddy?
Speaker 2 (01:59):
That was an AFC West question that was asked last
night between Harborugh and John Payton. Who's your daddy? I'm
there's a night football, Kyle read the highlight, take us
through it.
Speaker 7 (02:06):
I don't mind if I do. Let's get into Broncos
at Chargers. This is a very exciting clip. We're gonna
start with out to Harbor, and Herbert started, yeah, come on,
let's go. The Chargers under Jim Harbaugh win, nearly doubling
their win total from last year.
Speaker 3 (02:20):
Already, with two to play, the Broncos winning.
Speaker 7 (02:23):
Streak is snapped nine and six, nine and six Big
Time Stakes thirty four, twenty seven. Jim Harbaugh doing a
little reflecting and talking hoops.
Speaker 8 (02:35):
Pregame, you know, talking to Justin and and and Derwin,
and you know, my thing to them was like, even
though the way of the world seems like it's on
our shoulders, it's not, go enjoy it.
Speaker 4 (02:50):
Go enjoy it.
Speaker 8 (02:51):
And and Justin said, I pick up basketball coach, and
I was like, that's our guy. That's that was his mindset.
Speaker 6 (03:03):
He's having fun. And share did look unencumbered in that
fourth quarter, and it was nice to see Justin Herbert
play that way. All right, look at that third column
the wildcard.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
Things changed last night. The Chargers with the win.
Speaker 6 (03:15):
Now have a ninety eight percent chance of making the
playoffs this year. The Broncos with the loss, they're still
an eighty seven percent chance, but Whereas we entered the
night with the Broncos as the sixth seed and the
Chargers as a seven, they swapped and it's now the
Chargers the sixth, the Broncos the seven. Why do I
say all that because your win there is a voting
(03:36):
the Bills in the first round if things played out
this way home.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
Let's stay in the paint of the pickup basketball analogy.
If you're Jim Harbaugh, you got your first pick to
draft to your team with your quarterback and Justin Herbert,
and by pick, I mean he wanted the coaching job
in LA. He wanted that to be his quarterback. But
in any good pickup game, as defense continues to steamroll
in snowball, the crowd gets into it, and all of
a sudden, the Chargers took over. Last night against the Broncos, Peter,
(04:01):
what a home effort, specifically in the second half.
Speaker 5 (04:04):
By the time.
Speaker 6 (04:04):
Chargers, no doubt, Jamie, this seemed trailed twenty four to thirteen.
And if you remember this, the narrative going into this
week was, look, there are four quarterbacks in the AFC
Lamar Burrow, Allen Mahomes, Josh Allen.
Speaker 3 (04:16):
Where are you guess what? Justin Herbert. Worry sorry, j Justthan.
Speaker 9 (04:20):
Let's start it again and live TV go.
Speaker 5 (04:24):
There was a narrative going into this week.
Speaker 6 (04:26):
There were four quarterbacks, Joe Burrow, Josh Allen, Patrick Mahomes,
Lamar Jackson, and Justin. Herbert was somewhere in this like
where do you put the guy? He doesn't have a
signature win, doesn't necessarily show up in the biggest two games.
Last night, he was awesome when it mattered most on Primetime.
Speaker 3 (04:41):
That drive.
Speaker 6 (04:42):
They go on a ninety yard drive to put this
game away, and Herbert is magnificent.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
I'm talking to this play here is from their own
end zone.
Speaker 6 (04:50):
He's rolling around and then all a sudden he puts
the burners on and you're.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
Like, okay, he has that.
Speaker 6 (04:54):
He was using his legs, he was using his arms,
and he was of course getting the ball to their
playmakers here with Goss Edwards. But they go ninety yards
in the fourth quarter out of Broncos defense that was
stifling everyone the last few weeks, and they were showing
that this.
Speaker 4 (05:08):
Is their guy.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
Herbert made plays that were innovative.
Speaker 6 (05:11):
This one he threw the ball across his body and
insane ways and the text messages that I was getting
throughout the game was like Herbert's insane, Herbert is so good?
Speaker 3 (05:20):
Herbert is this? Herbert is that? You know what it is?
Speaker 6 (05:22):
Though, it was important to do it in a spotlight
game like this. This was one that was for everyone
to watch. It's the only show in town, and it's
Herbert saying I can.
Speaker 4 (05:32):
Be one of those guys, you know.
Speaker 6 (05:33):
After the game, they interviewed Trey Pipkins, who's one of
their offensive linemen. He says, we will follow Justin Herbert
into the depths of hell right now. Oh wow, that
is what Pipkins said in locker room. And then he
said he's in sicko mode. Herbert's in sicko mode. Like,
we don't get that side of Justin Herbert. We don't
see him giving the motivational speech on the sideline and
doing all this, and we don't see the stats that
(05:54):
maybe Joe Burrow Lamar Jackson has. But in a big moment,
we needed to see something, and maybe they did need
to see it in LA but we here in the
national media did.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
Robert brought it.
Speaker 6 (06:05):
There are four quarterbacks in the AFC, Joe Burrow, Lamar Jackson,
Josh Allen and Patrick Mahomes and Justin Herbert last night
slammed on that door and said, let me in, fellus.
I am very curious to see how the rest of
the season in the postseason plays out. Herbert awesome last night.
Speaker 3 (06:22):
I love it.
Speaker 5 (06:22):
I think if you look at this whole game, you
understanding as a defensive player, you have to understand not
only who you're going up against, but you also have
to understand what type of play caller you're going up against.
And I know Champagne and you see that big old
laminated sign that he has with all his plays on it.
He also in the beginning of the game has a
little white sheet that says fifteen plays. He's a fifteen
play play caller. What that means is he has fifteen plays,
(06:46):
all different types of personnels, all different types of motions,
whatever it is. He's going to throw everything at you
to see how you react. It's a tail of two
halves for me. If you look at the first half
for the Chargers, you look at what they did. The
first drive they allowed ten plays to the Broncos for
seventy two yards and a touchdown. This very next drive,
they allowed twelve plays for seventy yards that equated into
(07:08):
a touchdown as well. So you imagine what it is
in the first half for Sean Payton where it's like
he's in his room and he put all of his
weapons on the bed and he's like, oh, this one.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
Worked, that one worked. That one worked, that one works.
Speaker 5 (07:19):
The key to beating a team like Sean is the
first two drives of the game are so important. You
need to go three and out at least one of them.
The second half was a totally different story. They started
the game off in the second half, they had an eleven.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
Play drive followed up with a three and out.
Speaker 9 (07:37):
It was huge.
Speaker 5 (07:38):
That dynamic of being able to shut down that play
calling sheet was big for the Chargers.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
And it kind of led into the.
Speaker 5 (07:45):
Second half as they started to get momentum, not only
defensively but offensively with the run game. They stay true
to themselves and Jim Harball continues to prove and show
that he has the ability to create championship minded teams,
to create a winning culture. In a place that I
played for the Chargers, we didn't really know how to win,
at least in the biggest games, and this team last
(08:07):
night showed that last night, especially after two weeks of
losing games late in the second quarter. This team came
back in the second half and won the game. So
I'm so excited not only for the Chargers but for
the AFC West because this AFC West is gonna be
something to deal with for years to come.
Speaker 9 (08:23):
And man tiy, we hear this in the locker room
all the time. It's all about making those adjustments, and
those adjustments in the halftime, we saw it, we talked
about it. They got whooped, The Chargers got whooped in
that first half, But the adjustments on the back half,
that's what really kind of led to all of the success.
They were able to get their first downs, they were
able to convert more on the third downs, and that
gave them more opportunities. But what I was so impressed
(08:45):
with was the ability to do it with guys who
were on special teams, guys who are typically special teams
guys we're talking about Darius, we're talking about Haskins, even
a defensive.
Speaker 3 (08:55):
Lineman Matt Locke. What I mean, They're.
Speaker 9 (08:59):
Going out there making offensive plays with whatever they had.
We know the mentality next man up. They took the
next man up. They took the Special Team's guy. They go,
yo you on defense. Yeah, d lionman, come over here,
Come on over here, Scott matt Lock, we got you.
We'll make sure you make some place. And then with
the backup running back as well, Gus Edwards went out
there and he allowed that team and that offense to
(09:19):
be able to start moving getting the play action. They
started opening up with more play action as well.
Speaker 3 (09:23):
That really opened things.
Speaker 9 (09:24):
Up when you can get that run game going. They
were stifled up front at first, but I was really
I was just sitting back. I'm going and forgive me
because I was like, oh, Darius, oh, Darius Ah, yes,
Darius Davis, Yes, that's the Special Team's got because I
couldn't remember him in the wide receiver charge.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
Where are their wide receivers?
Speaker 9 (09:42):
And not to mention, we've had the inconsistency of Quentin Johnston.
Speaker 3 (09:46):
So what am I saying? That dude?
Speaker 9 (09:48):
Justin Herbert, He's a baller. He can take anything and
make it sugar. So I absolutely love. I was gonna
say something else but I couldn't say that though, but
he turned something else into sugar.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
I think we.
Speaker 7 (10:00):
Got it, and it was very sweet for the Chargers
last night. Great Herbert game. I want to see Peyton
and Harbaugh go at it. For years now, there was
a really fun AFC West game that had nothing to
do with Patrick Mahomes and the.
Speaker 3 (10:10):
Chiefs, which is really unusual. But this game will be remembered.
Speaker 7 (10:13):
This game will be cataloged, This game will be studied
for what happened at the end of the first half.
Let me contextualize first end of the half. Broncos with
the ball, they're just running out the clock. They get
to a fourth down, there's a handful of seconds left,
and the Chargers could have said let's go in and
talk about let's go to halftime. Harbaugh calls the time
out just to make the Broncos punt, and Michaels and
herbster all over it.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
They're saying, yeah, you never know, make.
Speaker 7 (10:34):
Them punt, maybe you get a block, maybe get a
bad snap. We've seen stranger things happen, and then they did,
so roll it. Here's what's going to happen. If you
were confused by this, or even if you're a huge
football head and haven't seen this in a while, cause
a fair catch, never mind the muffet.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
It's because they recovered it. It's the fact that he
was interfered with. So this is the deal.
Speaker 7 (10:52):
If here's the penalty on a fair catch as time
is expiring, you entered this entirely new world, like this
bonus level of options. I'm going to read straight from
the NFL book. Okay, Article five, Section B. If time
expires during a playe which a player is signal for
a fair catch to follow and shall apply follow this.
(11:13):
If the kicking team interferes with the receivers signal fair
a fair catch, the receiving team of the option to
extend the period by attempting a fair catch, kick or
a snap from scrimmage after and forthron of any applicable penalties.
So you can run a hail Mary, or you can
have a free kick, which means you put the ball
down with the holder. Nobody can block it. There's no rush,
(11:34):
there's no anything, and you just kick it like you're
kicking in warm ups. Dicker nails is like a fifty
seven yarder. Absolutely drills it because here it is. See
how they're just lined up. It's kind of like at
the end of a basketball game if there's free throws
with no time withst on the clock.
Speaker 3 (11:48):
They just clear out the lanes and just let you shoot.
Speaker 7 (11:51):
So Jim Harbaugh, I want to ask him, coach, it's
kind of old school.
Speaker 3 (11:56):
It's fun. It's a little weird, just like you do.
You like the free kick rule, go ahead.
Speaker 8 (12:02):
It's my favorite rule in football, and just been trying
to get one of those, like every game, you know, Uh,
to get one of them. Yeah, yeah, yeah, first one
we've made. I tried. We tried one with the forty
nine ers. I think it was like a seventy yarder
or something, seventy one.
Speaker 10 (12:23):
Thanks.
Speaker 8 (12:25):
Yeah, mister Dawson, Uh, probably a little if I wanted
it so bad that, you know, I tried a seventy
one yarder, But it is.
Speaker 4 (12:31):
It is my favorite rule.
Speaker 7 (12:33):
It's his favorite rule in the entire NFL. Now, Phil
Dawson did try one of seventy one yarder.
Speaker 3 (12:38):
It didn't work.
Speaker 7 (12:39):
Understand how rare this is. And they were great on
this on the broadcast. This has not happened since any
of us were born. Nineteen seventy six, Ray Worshing also
for the Chargers.
Speaker 3 (12:48):
Ray Worshon went.
Speaker 7 (12:49):
On to win two rings for the bill Wats forty
nine Ers, the longest one ever made before this was
Paul Horning, a running back end kicker for the Packers,
in nineteen sixty four in Lambeau. And speaking of Lambeau,
the first one to ever be made an NFL history
currently Lambeau.
Speaker 3 (13:07):
In nineteen twenty one.
Speaker 7 (13:09):
Guys, we're talking about things that are over one hundred
years old. This may not happen for another forty or
fifty years. It's incredibly credibly deep cut NFL stuff. We
live for it, we love it, and they absolutely nailed it.
The Chargers got some mojo last night. Their quarterback weird rules.
Their coach Larry David was there the side of the fields.
Amazing Chargers were feeling and you know, I got.
Speaker 9 (13:30):
This has to be also gratifying for the Charger players
who actually had an opportunity to execute this, because being
on an end where I never had the opportunity. We
practice it, but you never get an opportunity to do
It's like this ain't never going to happen, Like why
are we practicing this stuff?
Speaker 3 (13:43):
You know what I mean?
Speaker 9 (13:44):
And you just kind of toss it out. But it's
kind of cool that they get to experience this.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
Man, what'd you call that Jersey.
Speaker 6 (13:49):
I was gonna all horning Jersey, Yeah, gold, I was
gonna say, I honestly feel like I am a football almanac,
Like I am a guy who you know, bragget all,
I know history and other I had no idea what
was going on. This one slipped through the cracks for
a lot of people. Completely blindsided me, so much so
that I'm texting Dean Blandino and others to be like,
can you explain? I had never heard of this before,
(14:12):
never heard of this, And I gotta say, that's why
I love this game, that I could still be surprised
and still being on a Thursday night twenty years into
doing this.
Speaker 3 (14:21):
Kudos to Cameron Dicker and Jim.
Speaker 6 (14:23):
Harborough and of course all the Special teams.
Speaker 9 (14:24):
Folks you knew that was going on.
Speaker 3 (14:26):
I had no idea.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
Well here, don't feel that badly. Even on the Chargers
website they have a player quoted saying, everybody on the
sideline was asking what the hell are we doing? And
that's from the team, a player in the locker room.
Speaker 9 (14:38):
You gotta have an old school special team. Shout out
to old school Joe Avazano. You remember Joe Aazona, The
name yeah, yeah, Joe Avezano, Yeah.
Speaker 4 (14:45):
He used to do that well.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
According to GMFB Article three, section a second paragraph, I
have to go to Tom Pella Sero. Now, Tom p
get in here. We got a school book, but also
looking ahead to the weekend and at the Lions trying
to navigate their roster and all their injuries.
Speaker 11 (15:00):
Real quick, Jamie, I want to point this out too,
because there were a lot of people confused as that
entire thing is playing out with the fair catch for
you kick one guy who is not and you see
him right behind Jim Harbaugh in every shot we're showing
is the Chargers special teams coordinator Ryan Ficken. He's one
of the only assistant coaches from the prior staff that
Jim Harbaugh kept around. He's turned around their special teams.
(15:21):
The moment that happened, he's going over there whispery to Jim, going,
I think we got a shot at this thing. It's
good communication, it's good coaching, good preparation, and they end
up getting one of the wilder plays and rarer plays
that we've seen injuries and NFL history. Okay, let's talk
about some injuries. Starting out with the Lions, who have
had a whole lot of injuries to talk about, but
maybe a glimmer of hope with one of their superstars
(15:43):
is our Ian Rappaport first reported last night running back
David Montgomery, who has sought a bunch of medical opinions,
now intends to rehab his MCL tear rather than undergoing.
Speaker 3 (15:56):
Season ending surgery.
Speaker 11 (15:57):
Now with the significant MCL that is four to six
weeks usually, so you're talking about at best a playoff
return for Montgomery. But even the possibility of getting him back,
much like the possibility getting Aiden Hutchinson back, is a
whole lot better than knowing that you're not going to
have one of your primary weapons for a stretch run.
(16:18):
It'll be something to monitor here in the short term.
To face the Bears on Sunday would anticipate.
Speaker 3 (16:22):
A lot of Jamir Gibbs in that one cheefs.
Speaker 11 (16:25):
Quarterback Patrick Mahomes will be played on Saturday, despite that
very painful looking fold up type of an injury that
he's suffered. He's been dealing with ankle injuries throughout the season.
This is a high ankle spray for Patrick Mahomes. For
this is a guy who hasn't missed a game in
five years.
Speaker 3 (16:41):
He missed two games.
Speaker 11 (16:42):
We dislocated a kneecap back in twenty nineteen.
Speaker 3 (16:45):
He's a very quick healer.
Speaker 11 (16:46):
He has, as Andy Reid has said before, the loosest
ligaments in the world.
Speaker 3 (16:50):
Full participant in practice all.
Speaker 11 (16:52):
Week, We'll see how his mobility is on Saturday against
the Texans. Also out there on Saturday, Steelers linebacker TJ. Watt,
who suffered an ankle injury on this play right here
that initially looked like it potentially could be something concerning
what was limited for the early portion of the week.
But a full participant in practice on Thursday, he's off
(17:13):
the injury report.
Speaker 3 (17:14):
Also good to go.
Speaker 11 (17:15):
Wide receiver George Pickens out once again though for the Steelers.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
Yeah, oh, that's too bad. We've dubbed it the unofficial
AFC Round Robin late in the season. Tom FELLASERA, thank
you so much, because those four teams that are playing tomorrow,
they play in five days on Christmas Day. It's a
brilliant doubleheader coming your way on Netflix. Chiefs play the
Texans tomorrow, but then the Chiefs play the Steelers on Wednesday,
and vice versa. Ravens play the Texan Saturday. But tomorrow
(17:42):
it's Ravens Steelers. If you follow it, just go to
NFL dot com and check out the schedule. But that's
the doubleheader that's on Netflix Christmas Day. Moving on, we're
going to look at some of the matchups heading into
Week sixteen that have us going crazy. Part one Mad
Minute coming up next on GMFB.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
Plus.
Speaker 7 (18:01):
You know him, you love them, you see him, every
one of the biggest comedians in the world. Nate BARGESTSI
is coming on the show.
Speaker 3 (18:06):
How about this, he's a Titans fan.
Speaker 7 (18:08):
But never mind that he's everywhere right now, Netflix, CBS
selling out stadiums.
Speaker 3 (18:14):
Oh, let's go bandy.
Speaker 7 (18:16):
Nate Bargetesi joins us, don't go anywhere.
Speaker 3 (18:19):
Good Morning football on a Friday. Nothing better.
Speaker 4 (18:29):
Good morning football.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
We are getting even simpler when it comes to playoff
qualifications here in the late regular season in the NFL.
For example, if Steelers at Ravens Saturday afternoon on Fox Pittsburgh,
they clinched the AFC North title. If they've beat the Ravens,
here we go, sixty seconds on the clock, Steelers Ravens,
that's the matchup. Peter Europe First.
Speaker 6 (18:53):
Let's go I was going through the playoff scenarios with
my son this morning. He is a big Ravens fan,
and I'm like, Okay, you gotta win this weekend, But
that doesn't necessarily put the Ravens in the driver's seat.
So need likely to win the next week or the
week after and the Steelers to lose another. The Steelers
right now control a lot because they've got a better
record in the division, and they also have the head
(19:14):
to head over the Ravens. But gosh, this whole thing
is flipped upside down. If the Ravens can finally get
a win. They're six point underdogs at home, which seems
six point favorites at home, which seems to be very
big considering they've lost eight of nine. But like, I
just did a whole spiel on Justin Herbert and how
he needed to bang down the door. I just did
thirty eight seconds.
Speaker 7 (19:32):
I thought, you know what, Peter, do the whole thing.
Keep going, you got a layout, do it.
Speaker 6 (19:40):
The bottom line is this, the Ravens need to break
the streak, and they have to do it at home,
and this is what gets them a home playoff game,
or at least contention to do.
Speaker 4 (19:49):
So, go and win this game.
Speaker 6 (19:51):
Don't lose again to the Steelers.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
Okay, Viking Seahawks movie someone else network, Yeah, let's go
Viking Seahawks. The Vikings are trying to keep they're trying
to steamroll, but the Seahawks have also on seven of
their last eight meetings with this team Allah Ravens and Steelers.
The Steelers have the Ravens number right now. Can the
Seahawks hold off the twelve and two Vikings?
Speaker 5 (20:13):
Manti, Yeah, I think they could. And if they're going
to do it, they needed double Justin Jefferson. Everybody who
has success against the Vikings double Justin Jefferson. So if
you're the Vikings, really lean heavy on Aaron Jones and
really get the ball to t. J. Hawkinson to alleviate
some of that double pressure, so they can definitely do it.
Speaker 9 (20:30):
Yeah, go ahead, go on and try to double Justin Jefferson.
See what happens. You're going to get Addison busting you
on the other side.
Speaker 4 (20:36):
So I'm going to No.
Speaker 3 (20:36):
Twelve and two.
Speaker 9 (20:37):
The Vikings are very very strong, they're still not getting
the love that they can't. Sorry, Seahawks, this ain't your game.
I got the Vikings in this one.
Speaker 3 (20:44):
We go.
Speaker 7 (20:45):
Peter did the entire oral history of the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Speaker 3 (20:47):
It's incredible. Now you're at him.
Speaker 7 (20:49):
Yeah, you went all the way back to the Rooney
family and all that stuff. That is an amazing the
steegles Storring World War two Steagles with the Steelers and
the Eagles at one time. I have a thing with
the Vikings where I want them to finish the regular
season low profile. I want them to be completely under
the raider. I don't want them to win a game
like this tready one to ten and wake everybody up.
I want like nineteen seventeen and then the playoffs they
launched their trap.
Speaker 3 (21:09):
Peter, your thoughts on the game. I wasted my time.
I already went with the Seahawks, Peter, real quick. All
I got quick.
Speaker 6 (21:17):
Kevin O'Connell right now is the leader in the house
for Coach of the Year. He got three games left. Seahawks, Packers, Lions.
Go take care of business and win that award.
Speaker 2 (21:25):
Kyle the way to Flanner the raider of for a
game like this is just like a bunch of field
goals right then, we just like we don't really show
the highlight. We just talked about the Vikings are moving
on Rams Jets. It has been whispered that this game
could be considered a trap game for the Rams. They're
going to New York off bar. How do you think
this plays out?
Speaker 9 (21:42):
Well, the Jets do look good, but no, I've got
the Rams. The Rams that they've been doing a pretty
good job running the ball. I think that it's going
to be the recipe for them beating the Jets. Continue
just to run down their throat. Obviously, they've got the
They've got the the Puka Nakula and Cooper Cup that
they're going to bomb to. I don't think that they're
going to be able to handle the Rams.
Speaker 3 (22:01):
With those two.
Speaker 7 (22:02):
Understand, If the Jets win this game, I feel there's
gonna be a parade or something. I have never felt more
buzz for a four and ten team. All of a sudden,
the papers like them, the writers like them. It's Rogers
this moving forward. If they win this game, and they
actually win it, it met life. It's massive, Peter, it's
some front page news.
Speaker 3 (22:19):
I can't wait.
Speaker 6 (22:20):
What do you think, Well, there is a real conversation
about whether you bring that Rogers back and.
Speaker 3 (22:23):
If you need episode three.
Speaker 6 (22:25):
Watch. I've watched all three episodes of Enigma.
Speaker 3 (22:29):
I thought it it's good. Give it to Manti. I
enjoyed it.
Speaker 6 (22:32):
Give it to Manti someone who knows Netflix series.
Speaker 3 (22:34):
What do you think?
Speaker 5 (22:35):
Great documentary Enigma, great documenting, great perspective. I really liked it.
I thought I thought it shed some great light on
an Aaron And how self aware I'll say it has.
Self awareness is amazing.
Speaker 2 (22:46):
Self awareness for the horn or the train coming down
the tracks? The Rams found Peter's address, I guess in
New York. Peter, what do you have from the team?
Speaker 3 (22:56):
Oh?
Speaker 6 (22:56):
Yes, I respect our show for not making Madden Ratings
jokes throughout a Jets segment.
Speaker 3 (23:00):

All of you.
Speaker 6 (28:00):

Speaker 10 (28:00):
You know what's funny are where we are going? Because
I'm going to Pittsburgh for the Christmas for the Christmas

out there. Fortunately, I've been fortunate to meet Ben Roethlisberger
and know him, and so I was texting with him
trying to like kind of be like, oh, could I
rent a house or something if we were trying to
have Christmas in Pittsburgh? And uh so he and he
(28:24):
was able to hook it up and he has a
house on some land that he built, and so we're

Oh wow, that is fantastic.
Speaker 3 (28:39):
I love that we're excited to see on that.
Speaker 6 (28:41):
Like Kyle does Angry Runs on our show and he
goes into an airport and everyone says, do the angry
Runs thing, and it's like, I got it, Nate, how
often are you asked to do the coffee letter?
Speaker 3 (28:50):
A bit?
Speaker 10 (28:50):
Like?
Speaker 3 (28:51):
Is it everywhere you go?
Speaker 6 (28:52):
And every It's the greatest comedy bit of like the
last ten years. Do people ask you to do it
everywhere you go or is it one of those where
it's just those who.
Speaker 10 (28:59):
Know you know, before it would be just they would
ask you to do it. Now is like they will
just tell me about it, which is nice.
Speaker 3 (29:08):
Uh.
Speaker 10 (29:09):
They kind of tell you the thing that they like,
so it switches. But yeah, for yeah, I mean it's
it is that a lot. It's like we'll be funny
and or do something funny and you're like, well, I
can't you know.
Speaker 4 (29:19):
The study Sure, we're in an airport. I don't know
if this is gonna land like it does?
Speaker 3 (29:28):
You know?
Speaker 7 (29:29):
Well, speaking of things that you're never asked about, remind
me here in America, how many feet are in a mile?
Speaker 3 (29:37):
You know it's five thousand something like that.
Speaker 7 (29:41):
We've seen these sketches you've done an ess and they're
just they're huge. They're they're for old people, young people.
Everybody just adores them. You've done a couple of them. Now,
when you look at the weird numbers and things that
we have in America, do you look at football and
see some of that too?
Speaker 3 (29:55):
Like what's odd to you in football? I know you're
a fan.
Speaker 10 (29:58):
Uh yeah, it's uh I mean, I mean, I have
a big fan you know. Uh, I'm trying to We
always talks about like, you know, the fumble out of
the end zone or you just get Yeah, it's just
like that's a yeah, that's a that's a fun because
you're just your whole life's ruined. You try to go
and then you just like accidentally funnelup to the end zone.
(30:19):
They're like, all right, we'll head on out, get in
the car, drove home.
Speaker 4 (30:22):
In the game, it's over. It's a brutal one.
Speaker 10 (30:25):
So yeah, stuff like that. I love, tell you what,
punning when they get it stick it to the one
yard line.
Speaker 4 (30:31):
It would be one of my favorite mode. I love
it. It's so fun. More than someone should love it.
Speaker 10 (30:36):
I excited, And maybe because I'm a Vaannerbil fan and
we've done our fair share of punning that roof, and
so that's.
Speaker 4 (30:44):
One that I enjoyed.
Speaker 2 (30:45):
Nate, I agree with you on this because there's always
that special teams guy who's flailing all of his limbs
at going one hundred and seventeen miles an hour downhill,
and when he reaches that pinnacle of tipping the ball
and getting it to stay on the one yard line
and everyone loses their minds like that might be the
best moment of that guy's life.
Speaker 4 (31:04):
Oh yeah, it's so fun.
Speaker 10 (31:06):
I mean you think and then you're if they don't
do it, You're like, how can you not tip it back?
And you know, it's just on my home watching this
guys out of his mind can't do a flip in
the end zone and flip it back. You go embarrassed.
It's embarrassing.
Speaker 9 (31:20):
You know, let's flip it back to October fifth. This
is big because you know you talking about your big
bandy fan. Uh it guys beat Alabama. Man, that was
so big. Walk me through that. I'm sure you were
going nuts doing this time nuts.
Speaker 10 (31:33):
So that was the night I hosted SNL for the
second time. So I was in my dressing room at
SNL and so we were watching it on my phone
and we were about to do dress rehearsal, and so
I was kind of finishing up, you know, and like
we're sitting there looking at the math, like trying to
add up to the clock and how the points, yeah,
and just being like, all right, is it gonna run out?
Like is the clock going to run out? So, yeah,
(31:54):
it was insane. I honestly got more text about that
than SNL and they.
Speaker 4 (32:00):
Would I got a lot of texts. People were like
are you there? Would go are you at the game?
Speaker 10 (32:06):
So I had to respond, I am not. I am
hosting Saturday Night line.
Speaker 9 (32:13):
You're missing it, you're missing it.
Speaker 2 (32:16):
Are you one of these guys that would get the
goal posts that the students tore down and like put
it in your backyard or something.
Speaker 10 (32:22):
I did do it. We beat so our first s win,
like well no, this was in nineties, our first SEC
we beat I think South Carolina. And funny is when
the right when the Titans came Titans were playing at
Vandy Stadium and so we went to go tear the
goal post down. I mean my senior year in high school,
we go tear the goal post down. But the Titans
(32:42):
game were there the next day, so they had this
is how nice bandy fans Burg. They had like one
guy he was like, hey, the Titans games tomorrow, so
don't do it, and we were like, oh yeah, okay,
that makes sense, and we just walked off.
Speaker 4 (32:53):
So no one did it. And then we beat Duke the.
Speaker 10 (32:56):
Next week and they go, all right, you can tear
this one down, So it looked like we were like
celebrating the Duke winn, but it was really a long
sec win.
Speaker 4 (33:03):
That's all.
Speaker 2 (33:04):
That's a great story. That's you're very kind, very generous
Titans fans, very aware all you guys in Tennessee. So
are the Titans. The Titans gifted you in a Derrick
Henry jersey years ago. Where is that jersey? And what
emotion do you feel when you see the king running
in purple?
Speaker 10 (33:20):
You know, it's I almost think it's something that you
get older. It's it's very weird to see him do that,
but you're as you get older, you're kind of happy
for the guys and you kind of you know, so
you're with Henry, You're like to see him running like
you're still running. I mean, out of all the teams
to go to Baltimore is one of the harder ones
to take in because we've had a lot of big
(33:41):
games with him over a lot of a lot of years.
But it's you really root for him. And I thought
that Dedre Hopkins when he went to Kansas City. It's
like you just as the guys that have been around
for a long time and that they've you know, put
in their dudes and stuff, and I think as I've
gotten older, you just kind of go like, I hope,
you know, it's like nice to see them go somewhere
and like be like, all right, yeah, get a little
quick new start, and yeah, Derrick Henry was very special.
(34:04):
When you see him run, it's just like you realize
what we had when you see him, even in Baltimore.
Speaker 4 (34:10):
But but I am.
Speaker 10 (34:11):
I'm rooting for him and DeAndre even Deandrerums are there
a couple of years, but it's like I'm excited to see,
you know, hope them have a you know, a great season.
Speaker 3 (34:20):
Like they do.
Speaker 6 (34:21):
Like theyre underrated rivalry in those early two thousands Ravens
versus Titans, Eddie George and Ray Lewis and Jeff Fisher
and Brian Billick, like they did not get along. Like
that's like that was like the heart of that era
right there. Look, you're you're doing awesome. Obviously, the CBS
specials huge, the Netflix game is huge, But like, I
(34:41):
respect the hell out of you because you really honed
your skills in the streets of New York when you
moved to New York City and you were a barking
comic outside the Comedy Seller, And I hear stories of
you and Dan Soder back when you guys were like
just trying to figure it out.
Speaker 3 (34:56):
What was it like as a struggling.
Speaker 4 (34:59):
Figuring it out comedian.
Speaker 6 (35:01):
In New York City back when you were here before
the SNL days.
Speaker 10 (35:06):
I mean you were just like, I mean, the good
thing is you're so you're young and dumb to not
realize that there's even really much something better out there
for you. But you know, it was that those are
the days that you'd go I would never take away.
Speaker 4 (35:18):
You'd like, would you go back to him? You're like,
I wouldn't go back to him, but I.
Speaker 10 (35:22):
Would not take It was kind of like our college,
so I mean, yeah, we would you know, barking. You
would hand out flyers trying to get an audience into
the crowd, and then we'd get you on stage as
a part of that do five minutes at the end.
Speaker 4 (35:34):
So you're just you know, it's in.
Speaker 10 (35:36):
The cold and you're are in the super hot or
whatever it is. But just seeing all the comedians come through,
I mean, I was of his day. Chappelle was doing
the Spell Show, was kind of right when it was
towards the end of the spell show and so getting
to him and he used to come into uh we
had there was a club in New York called Boston
Comedy Club. So I mean, I've seen Chappelle like go
up in front of you know, seven people, and so
(35:57):
like seeing that kind of thing was it's you look
back and I learned a lot and that's and that
was the thing, me and Soda running around and we
you know, we me and Soda went to Burrs first
time he was at town Hall together, and so you're
getting to you know, just getting to see all those
moments and you know, and then now actually between he
(36:17):
just did town Hall and so you get to, you know,
go back.
Speaker 4 (36:21):
And do the things that you me and him both watch.
Speaker 7 (36:24):
That's so cool and you tell the story really well.
You know, you come on our show to talk football,
and as a long time Titans fan, I hope this
is not torture. But what do you remember about one
yard short Titans rams McNair scrambles throw as it hits
the slant here it is, where were you in? What's
it like to look back on this.
Speaker 10 (36:42):
I remember I think I was working at I'm not
it was I was working at Applebee's where I met
my wife, and then yeah, I remember, I just I
mean it was heartbreaking. I mean like it's one of
those that we just got them, and you know, it's
at the moment, you know where you think it's it's
kind of hard to complain when you're like they're brand
new to us.
Speaker 4 (37:02):
But I always think about the tackle.
Speaker 10 (37:04):
That tackle was like, I mean, if he does not
grab his knee the way he grabs his knee, yep,
I think he gets over. And it was just I remember,
just even in that moment, just like what an unbelievable
The tackle was just so like you really get one
extra step, you know, and then you figure it like
all right, well we'll do it again, and then here
(37:25):
we are.
Speaker 2 (37:26):
And here you are. It's incredible recall from the pylons
coming down in Nashville to your CBO specialty.
Speaker 3 (37:34):
Fun fact.
Speaker 2 (37:35):
In the NFL regular season schedule, Week seventeen goes from
Wednesday to Monday, perhaps the longest regular season week we've
ever experienced. This triple header lands next Saturday. Peter, what
stands out to you?
Speaker 6 (37:48):
I love that there's three games and we've got at
least one playoff team in each of these games. However,
I'm looking at that eight pm Eastern five pm Pacific
sunsetting on the West Coast.
Speaker 3 (37:58):
Cardinals at Rams.
Speaker 6 (38:00):
Why, Jamie, not only are you going to be there
on the sidelines, but the Cars absolutely beat up the
Rams in Arizona earlier this year.
Speaker 4 (38:09):
There is a score to settle.
Speaker 6 (38:11):
It's McVeigh versus Gannon, It's Kyler versus Stafford. It's prime
time out in La in the beautiful hills of Hollywood.
Speaker 2 (38:19):
Hey, now look at that we go. It's time now
for fantasy advice percented by FedEx. Here are some players
that you should consider starting in Week sixteen. Let's go
with Bucks quarterback Baker Mayfield. He's projected to have nearly
seventeen points against Dallas. It's defense who gives up an
average of twenty points to quarterbacks. At running back James
Conner against the Panthers defense. He's coming off of major
(38:39):
back to back performances, averaging just about twenty six points
in the last two weeks. Carolina gives up an average
of nearly thirty to running back, so Connor should be
good for a big day. And if you're looking for
a wide out, Goo Jackson Smith and Jigbu, who squares
off against the Vikings. Let's Go Fantasy Advice presented by FedEx.
Speaker 7 (38:56):
This is GMFP

Speaker 3 (02:20):
Already, with two to play, the Broncos winning.
Speaker 7 (02:23):
Streak is snapped nine and six, nine and six Big
Time Stakes thirty four, twenty seven. Jim Harbaugh doing a
little reflecting and talking hoops.
Speaker 8 (02:35):
Pregame, you know, talking to Justin and and and Derwin,
and you know, my thing to them was like, even
though the way of the world seems like it's on
our shoulders, it's not, go enjoy it.
Speaker 4 (02:50):
Go enjoy it.
Speaker 8 (02:51):
And and Justin said, I pick up basketball coach, and
I was like, that's our guy. That's that was his mindset.
Speaker 6 (03:03):
He's having fun. And share did look unencumbered in that
fourth quarter, and it was nice to see Justin Herbert
play that way. All right, look at that third column
the wildcard.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
Things changed last night. The Chargers with the win.
Speaker 6 (03:15):
Now have a ninety eight percent chance of making the
playoffs this year. The Broncos with the loss, they're still
an eighty seven percent chance, but Whereas we entered the
night with the Broncos as the sixth seed and the
Chargers as a seven, they swapped and it's now the
Chargers the sixth, the Broncos the seven. Why do I
say all that because your win there is a voting
(03:36):
the Bills in the first round if things played out
this way home.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
Let's stay in the paint of the pickup basketball analogy.
If you're Jim Harbaugh, you got your first pick to
draft to your team with your quarterback and Justin Herbert,
and by pick, I mean he wanted the coaching job
in LA. He wanted that to be his quarterback. But
in any good pickup game, as defense continues to steamroll
in snowball, the crowd gets into it, and all of
a sudden, the Chargers took over. Last night against the Broncos, Peter,
(04:01):
what a home effort, specifically in the second half.
Speaker 5 (04:04):
By the time.
Speaker 6 (04:04):
Chargers, no doubt, Jamie, this seemed trailed twenty four to thirteen.
And if you remember this, the narrative going into this
week was, look, there are four quarterbacks in the AFC
Lamar Burrow, Allen Mahomes, Josh Allen.
Speaker 3 (04:16):
Where are you guess what? Justin Herbert. Worry sorry, j Justthan.
Speaker 9 (04:20):
Let's start it again and live TV go.
Speaker 5 (04:24):
There was a narrative going into this week.
Speaker 6 (04:26):
There were four quarterbacks, Joe Burrow, Josh Allen, Patrick Mahomes,
Lamar Jackson, and Justin. Herbert was somewhere in this like
where do you put the guy? He doesn't have a
signature win, doesn't necessarily show up in the biggest two games.
Last night, he was awesome when it mattered most on Primetime.
Speaker 3 (04:41):
That drive.
Speaker 6 (04:42):
They go on a ninety yard drive to put this
game away, and Herbert is magnificent.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
I'm talking to this play here is from their own
end zone.
Speaker 6 (04:50):
He's rolling around and then all a sudden he puts
the burners on and you're.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
Like, okay, he has that.
Speaker 6 (04:54):
He was using his legs, he was using his arms,
and he was of course getting the ball to their
playmakers here with Goss Edwards. But they go ninety yards
in the fourth quarter out of Broncos defense that was
stifling everyone the last few weeks, and they were showing
that this.
Speaker 4 (05:08):
Is their guy.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
Herbert made plays that were innovative.
Speaker 6 (05:11):
This one he threw the ball across his body and
insane ways and the text messages that I was getting
throughout the game was like Herbert's insane, Herbert is so good?
Speaker 3 (05:20):
Herbert is this? Herbert is that? You know what it is?
Speaker 6 (05:22):
Though, it was important to do it in a spotlight
game like this. This was one that was for everyone
to watch. It's the only show in town, and it's
Herbert saying I can.
Speaker 4 (05:32):
Be one of those guys, you know.
Speaker 6 (05:33):
After the game, they interviewed Trey Pipkins, who's one of
their offensive linemen. He says, we will follow Justin Herbert
into the depths of hell right now. Oh wow, that
is what Pipkins said in locker room. And then he
said he's in sicko mode. Herbert's in sicko mode. Like,
we don't get that side of Justin Herbert. We don't
see him giving the motivational speech on the sideline and
doing all this, and we don't see the stats that
(05:54):
maybe Joe Burrow Lamar Jackson has. But in a big moment,
we needed to see something, and maybe they did need
to see it in LA but we here in the
national media did.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
Robert brought it.
Speaker 6 (06:05):
There are four quarterbacks in the AFC, Joe Burrow, Lamar Jackson,
Josh Allen and Patrick Mahomes and Justin Herbert last night
slammed on that door and said, let me in, fellus.
I am very curious to see how the rest of
the season in the postseason plays out. Herbert awesome last night.
Speaker 3 (06:22):
I love it.
Speaker 5 (06:22):
I think if you look at this whole game, you
understanding as a defensive player, you have to understand not
only who you're going up against, but you also have
to understand what type of play caller you're going up against.
And I know Champagne and you see that big old
laminated sign that he has with all his plays on it.
He also in the beginning of the game has a
little white sheet that says fifteen plays. He's a fifteen
play play caller. What that means is he has fifteen plays,
(06:46):
all different types of personnels, all different types of motions,
whatever it is. He's going to throw everything at you
to see how you react. It's a tail of two
halves for me. If you look at the first half
for the Chargers, you look at what they did. The
first drive they allowed ten plays to the Broncos for
seventy two yards and a touchdown. This very next drive,
they allowed twelve plays for seventy yards that equated into
(07:08):
a touchdown as well. So you imagine what it is
in the first half for Sean Payton where it's like
he's in his room and he put all of his
weapons on the bed and he's like, oh, this one.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
Worked, that one worked. That one worked, that one works.
Speaker 5 (07:19):
The key to beating a team like Sean is the
first two drives of the game are so important. You
need to go three and out at least one of them.
The second half was a totally different story. They started
the game off in the second half, they had an eleven.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
Play drive followed up with a three and out.
Speaker 9 (07:37):
It was huge.
Speaker 5 (07:38):
That dynamic of being able to shut down that play
calling sheet was big for the Chargers.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
And it kind of led into the.
Speaker 5 (07:45):
Second half as they started to get momentum, not only
defensively but offensively with the run game. They stay true
to themselves and Jim Harball continues to prove and show
that he has the ability to create championship minded teams,
to create a winning culture. In a place that I
played for the Chargers, we didn't really know how to win,
at least in the biggest games, and this team last
(08:07):
night showed that last night, especially after two weeks of
losing games late in the second quarter. This team came
back in the second half and won the game. So
I'm so excited not only for the Chargers but for
the AFC West because this AFC West is gonna be
something to deal with for years to come.
Speaker 9 (08:23):
And man tiy, we hear this in the locker room
all the time. It's all about making those adjustments, and
those adjustments in the halftime, we saw it, we talked
about it. They got whooped, The Chargers got whooped in
that first half, But the adjustments on the back half,
that's what really kind of led to all of the success.
They were able to get their first downs, they were
able to convert more on the third downs, and that
gave them more opportunities. But what I was so impressed
(08:45):
with was the ability to do it with guys who
were on special teams, guys who are typically special teams
guys we're talking about Darius, we're talking about Haskins, even
a defensive.
Speaker 3 (08:55):
Lineman Matt Locke. What I mean, They're.
Speaker 9 (08:59):
Going out there making offensive plays with whatever they had.
We know the mentality next man up. They took the
next man up. They took the Special Team's guy. They go,
yo you on defense. Yeah, d lionman, come over here,
Come on over here, Scott matt Lock, we got you.
We'll make sure you make some place. And then with
the backup running back as well, Gus Edwards went out
there and he allowed that team and that offense to
(09:19):
be able to start moving getting the play action. They
started opening up with more play action as well.
Speaker 3 (09:23):
That really opened things.
Speaker 9 (09:24):
Up when you can get that run game going. They
were stifled up front at first, but I was really
I was just sitting back. I'm going and forgive me
because I was like, oh, Darius, oh, Darius Ah, yes,
Darius Davis, Yes, that's the Special Team's got because I
couldn't remember him in the wide receiver charge.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
Where are their wide receivers?
Speaker 9 (09:42):
And not to mention, we've had the inconsistency of Quentin Johnston.
Speaker 3 (09:46):
So what am I saying? That dude?
Speaker 9 (09:48):
Justin Herbert, He's a baller. He can take anything and
make it sugar. So I absolutely love. I was gonna
say something else but I couldn't say that though, but
he turned something else into sugar.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
I think we.
Speaker 7 (10:00):
Got it, and it was very sweet for the Chargers
last night. Great Herbert game. I want to see Peyton
and Harbaugh go at it. For years now, there was
a really fun AFC West game that had nothing to
do with Patrick Mahomes and the.
Speaker 3 (10:10):
Chiefs, which is really unusual. But this game will be remembered.
Speaker 7 (10:13):
This game will be cataloged, This game will be studied
for what happened at the end of the first half.
Let me contextualize first end of the half. Broncos with
the ball, they're just running out the clock. They get
to a fourth down, there's a handful of seconds left,
and the Chargers could have said let's go in and
talk about let's go to halftime. Harbaugh calls the time
out just to make the Broncos punt, and Michaels and
herbster all over it.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
They're saying, yeah, you never know, make.
Speaker 7 (10:34):
Them punt, maybe you get a block, maybe get a
bad snap. We've seen stranger things happen, and then they did,
so roll it. Here's what's going to happen. If you
were confused by this, or even if you're a huge
football head and haven't seen this in a while, cause
a fair catch, never mind the muffet.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
It's because they recovered it. It's the fact that he
was interfered with. So this is the deal.
Speaker 7 (10:52):
If here's the penalty on a fair catch as time
is expiring, you entered this entirely new world, like this
bonus level of options. I'm going to read straight from
the NFL book. Okay, Article five, Section B. If time
expires during a playe which a player is signal for
a fair catch to follow and shall apply follow this.
(11:13):
If the kicking team interferes with the receivers signal fair
a fair catch, the receiving team of the option to
extend the period by attempting a fair catch, kick or
a snap from scrimmage after and forthron of any applicable penalties.
So you can run a hail Mary, or you can
have a free kick, which means you put the ball
down with the holder. Nobody can block it. There's no rush,
(11:34):
there's no anything, and you just kick it like you're
kicking in warm ups. Dicker nails is like a fifty
seven yarder. Absolutely drills it because here it is. See
how they're just lined up. It's kind of like at
the end of a basketball game if there's free throws
with no time withst on the clock.
Speaker 3 (11:48):
They just clear out the lanes and just let you shoot.
Speaker 7 (11:51):
So Jim Harbaugh, I want to ask him, coach, it's
kind of old school.
Speaker 3 (11:56):
It's fun. It's a little weird, just like you do.
You like the free kick rule, go ahead.
Speaker 8 (12:02):
It's my favorite rule in football, and just been trying
to get one of those, like every game, you know, Uh,
to get one of them. Yeah, yeah, yeah, first one
we've made. I tried. We tried one with the forty
nine ers. I think it was like a seventy yarder
or something, seventy one.
Speaker 10 (12:23):
Thanks.
Speaker 8 (12:25):
Yeah, mister Dawson, Uh, probably a little if I wanted
it so bad that, you know, I tried a seventy
one yarder, But it is.
Speaker 4 (12:31):
It is my favorite rule.
Speaker 7 (12:33):
It's his favorite rule in the entire NFL. Now, Phil
Dawson did try one of seventy one yarder.
Speaker 3 (12:38):
It didn't work.
Speaker 7 (12:39):
Understand how rare this is. And they were great on
this on the broadcast. This has not happened since any
of us were born. Nineteen seventy six, Ray Worshing also
for the Chargers.
Speaker 3 (12:48):
Ray Worshon went.
Speaker 7 (12:49):
On to win two rings for the bill Wats forty
nine Ers, the longest one ever made before this was
Paul Horning, a running back end kicker for the Packers,
in nineteen sixty four in Lambeau. And speaking of Lambeau,
the first one to ever be made an NFL history
currently Lambeau.
Speaker 3 (13:07):
In nineteen twenty one.
Speaker 7 (13:09):
Guys, we're talking about things that are over one hundred
years old. This may not happen for another forty or
fifty years. It's incredibly credibly deep cut NFL stuff. We
live for it, we love it, and they absolutely nailed it.
The Chargers got some mojo last night. Their quarterback weird rules.
Their coach Larry David was there the side of the fields.
Amazing Chargers were feeling and you know, I got.
Speaker 9 (13:30):
This has to be also gratifying for the Charger players
who actually had an opportunity to execute this, because being
on an end where I never had the opportunity. We
practice it, but you never get an opportunity to do
It's like this ain't never going to happen, Like why
are we practicing this stuff?
Speaker 3 (13:43):
You know what I mean?
Speaker 9 (13:44):
And you just kind of toss it out. But it's
kind of cool that they get to experience this.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
Man, what'd you call that Jersey.
Speaker 6 (13:49):
I was gonna all horning Jersey, Yeah, gold, I was
gonna say, I honestly feel like I am a football almanac,
Like I am a guy who you know, bragget all,
I know history and other I had no idea what
was going on. This one slipped through the cracks for
a lot of people. Completely blindsided me, so much so
that I'm texting Dean Blandino and others to be like,
can you explain? I had never heard of this before,
(14:12):
never heard of this, And I gotta say, that's why
I love this game, that I could still be surprised
and still being on a Thursday night twenty years into
doing this.
Speaker 3 (14:21):
Kudos to Cameron Dicker and Jim.
Speaker 6 (14:23):
Harborough and of course all the Special teams.
Speaker 9 (14:24):
Folks you knew that was going on.
Speaker 3 (14:26):
I had no idea.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
Well here, don't feel that badly. Even on the Chargers
website they have a player quoted saying, everybody on the
sideline was asking what the hell are we doing? And
that's from the team, a player in the locker room.
Speaker 9 (14:38):
You gotta have an old school special team. Shout out
to old school Joe Avazano. You remember Joe Aazona, The
name yeah, yeah, Joe Avezano, Yeah.
Speaker 4 (14:45):
He used to do that well.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
According to GMFB Article three, section a second paragraph, I
have to go to Tom Pella Sero. Now, Tom p
get in here. We got a school book, but also
looking ahead to the weekend and at the Lions trying
to navigate their roster and all their injuries.
Speaker 11 (15:00):
Real quick, Jamie, I want to point this out too,
because there were a lot of people confused as that
entire thing is playing out with the fair catch for
you kick one guy who is not and you see
him right behind Jim Harbaugh in every shot we're showing
is the Chargers special teams coordinator Ryan Ficken. He's one
of the only assistant coaches from the prior staff that
Jim Harbaugh kept around. He's turned around their special teams.
(15:21):
The moment that happened, he's going over there whispery to Jim, going,
I think we got a shot at this thing. It's
good communication, it's good coaching, good preparation, and they end
up getting one of the wilder plays and rarer plays
that we've seen injuries and NFL history. Okay, let's talk
about some injuries. Starting out with the Lions, who have
had a whole lot of injuries to talk about, but
maybe a glimmer of hope with one of their superstars
(15:43):
is our Ian Rappaport first reported last night running back
David Montgomery, who has sought a bunch of medical opinions,
now intends to rehab his MCL tear rather than undergoing.
Speaker 3 (15:56):
Season ending surgery.
Speaker 11 (15:57):
Now with the significant MCL that is four to six
weeks usually, so you're talking about at best a playoff
return for Montgomery. But even the possibility of getting him back,
much like the possibility getting Aiden Hutchinson back, is a
whole lot better than knowing that you're not going to
have one of your primary weapons for a stretch run.
(16:18):
It'll be something to monitor here in the short term.
To face the Bears on Sunday would anticipate.
Speaker 3 (16:22):
A lot of Jamir Gibbs in that one cheefs.
Speaker 11 (16:25):
Quarterback Patrick Mahomes will be played on Saturday, despite that
very painful looking fold up type of an injury that
he's suffered. He's been dealing with ankle injuries throughout the season.
This is a high ankle spray for Patrick Mahomes. For
this is a guy who hasn't missed a game in
five years.
Speaker 3 (16:41):
He missed two games.
Speaker 11 (16:42):
We dislocated a kneecap back in twenty nineteen.
Speaker 3 (16:45):
He's a very quick healer.
Speaker 11 (16:46):
He has, as Andy Reid has said before, the loosest
ligaments in the world.
Speaker 3 (16:50):
Full participant in practice all.
Speaker 11 (16:52):
Week, We'll see how his mobility is on Saturday against
the Texans. Also out there on Saturday, Steelers linebacker TJ. Watt,
who suffered an ankle injury on this play right here
that initially looked like it potentially could be something concerning
what was limited for the early portion of the week.
But a full participant in practice on Thursday, he's off
(17:13):
the injury report.
Speaker 3 (17:14):
Also good to go.
Speaker 11 (17:15):
Wide receiver George Pickens out once again though for the Steelers.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
Yeah, oh, that's too bad. We've dubbed it the unofficial
AFC Round Robin late in the season. Tom FELLASERA, thank
you so much, because those four teams that are playing tomorrow,
they play in five days on Christmas Day. It's a
brilliant doubleheader coming your way on Netflix. Chiefs play the
Texans tomorrow, but then the Chiefs play the Steelers on Wednesday,
and vice versa. Ravens play the Texan Saturday. But tomorrow
(17:42):
it's Ravens Steelers. If you follow it, just go to
NFL dot com and check out the schedule. But that's
the doubleheader that's on Netflix Christmas Day. Moving on, we're
going to look at some of the matchups heading into
Week sixteen that have us going crazy. Part one Mad
Minute coming up next on GMFB.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
Plus.
Speaker 7 (18:01):
You know him, you love them, you see him, every
one of the biggest comedians in the world. Nate BARGESTSI
is coming on the show.
Speaker 3 (18:06):
How about this, he's a Titans fan.
Speaker 7 (18:08):
But never mind that he's everywhere right now, Netflix, CBS
selling out stadiums.
Speaker 3 (18:14):
Oh, let's go bandy.
Speaker 7 (18:16):
Nate Bargetesi joins us, don't go anywhere.
Speaker 3 (18:19):
Good Morning football on a Friday. Nothing better.
Speaker 4 (18:29):
Good morning football.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
We are getting even simpler when it comes to playoff
qualifications here in the late regular season in the NFL.
For example, if Steelers at Ravens Saturday afternoon on Fox Pittsburgh,
they clinched the AFC North title. If they've beat the Ravens,
here we go, sixty seconds on the clock, Steelers Ravens,
that's the matchup. Peter Europe First.
Speaker 6 (18:53):
Let's go I was going through the playoff scenarios with
my son this morning. He is a big Ravens fan,
and I'm like, Okay, you gotta win this weekend, But
that doesn't necessarily put the Ravens in the driver's seat.
So need likely to win the next week or the
week after and the Steelers to lose another. The Steelers
right now control a lot because they've got a better
record in the division, and they also have the head
(19:14):
to head over the Ravens. But gosh, this whole thing
is flipped upside down. If the Ravens can finally get
a win. They're six point underdogs at home, which seems
six point favorites at home, which seems to be very
big considering they've lost eight of nine. But like, I
just did a whole spiel on Justin Herbert and how
he needed to bang down the door. I just did
thirty eight seconds.
Speaker 7 (19:32):
I thought, you know what, Peter, do the whole thing.
Keep going, you got a layout, do it.
Speaker 6 (19:40):
The bottom line is this, the Ravens need to break
the streak, and they have to do it at home,
and this is what gets them a home playoff game,
or at least contention to do.
Speaker 4 (19:49):
So, go and win this game.
Speaker 6 (19:51):
Don't lose again to the Steelers.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
Okay, Viking Seahawks movie someone else network, Yeah, let's go
Viking Seahawks. The Vikings are trying to keep they're trying
to steamroll, but the Seahawks have also on seven of
their last eight meetings with this team Allah Ravens and Steelers.
The Steelers have the Ravens number right now. Can the
Seahawks hold off the twelve and two Vikings?
Speaker 5 (20:13):
Manti, Yeah, I think they could. And if they're going
to do it, they needed double Justin Jefferson. Everybody who
has success against the Vikings double Justin Jefferson. So if
you're the Vikings, really lean heavy on Aaron Jones and
really get the ball to t. J. Hawkinson to alleviate
some of that double pressure, so they can definitely do it.
Speaker 9 (20:30):
Yeah, go ahead, go on and try to double Justin Jefferson.
See what happens. You're going to get Addison busting you
on the other side.
Speaker 4 (20:36):
So I'm going to No.
Speaker 3 (20:36):
Twelve and two.
Speaker 9 (20:37):
The Vikings are very very strong, they're still not getting
the love that they can't. Sorry, Seahawks, this ain't your game.
I got the Vikings in this one.
Speaker 3 (20:44):
We go.
Speaker 7 (20:45):
Peter did the entire oral history of the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Speaker 3 (20:47):
It's incredible. Now you're at him.
Speaker 7 (20:49):
Yeah, you went all the way back to the Rooney
family and all that stuff. That is an amazing the
steegles Storring World War two Steagles with the Steelers and
the Eagles at one time. I have a thing with
the Vikings where I want them to finish the regular
season low profile. I want them to be completely under
the raider. I don't want them to win a game
like this tready one to ten and wake everybody up.
I want like nineteen seventeen and then the playoffs they
launched their trap.
Speaker 3 (21:09):
Peter, your thoughts on the game. I wasted my time.
I already went with the Seahawks, Peter, real quick. All
I got quick.
Speaker 6 (21:17):
Kevin O'Connell right now is the leader in the house
for Coach of the Year. He got three games left. Seahawks, Packers, Lions.
Go take care of business and win that award.
Speaker 2 (21:25):
Kyle the way to Flanner the raider of for a
game like this is just like a bunch of field
goals right then, we just like we don't really show
the highlight. We just talked about the Vikings are moving
on Rams Jets. It has been whispered that this game
could be considered a trap game for the Rams. They're
going to New York off bar. How do you think
this plays out?
Speaker 9 (21:42):
Well, the Jets do look good, but no, I've got
the Rams. The Rams that they've been doing a pretty
good job running the ball. I think that it's going
to be the recipe for them beating the Jets. Continue
just to run down their throat. Obviously, they've got the
They've got the the Puka Nakula and Cooper Cup that
they're going to bomb to. I don't think that they're
going to be able to handle the Rams.
Speaker 3 (22:01):
With those two.
Speaker 7 (22:02):
Understand, If the Jets win this game, I feel there's
gonna be a parade or something. I have never felt more
buzz for a four and ten team. All of a sudden,
the papers like them, the writers like them. It's Rogers
this moving forward. If they win this game, and they
actually win it, it met life. It's massive, Peter, it's
some front page news.
Speaker 3 (22:19):
I can't wait.
Speaker 6 (22:20):
What do you think, Well, there is a real conversation
about whether you bring that Rogers back and.
Speaker 3 (22:23):
If you need episode three.
Speaker 6 (22:25):
Watch. I've watched all three episodes of Enigma.
Speaker 3 (22:29):
I thought it it's good. Give it to Manti. I
enjoyed it.
Speaker 6 (22:32):
Give it to Manti someone who knows Netflix series.
Speaker 3 (22:34):
What do you think?
Speaker 5 (22:35):
Great documentary Enigma, great documenting, great perspective. I really liked it.
I thought I thought it shed some great light on
an Aaron And how self aware I'll say it has.
Self awareness is amazing.
Speaker 2 (22:46):
Self awareness for the horn or the train coming down
the tracks? The Rams found Peter's address, I guess in
New York. Peter, what do you have from the team?
Speaker 3 (22:56):
Oh?
Speaker 6 (22:56):
Yes, I respect our show for not making Madden Ratings
jokes throughout a Jets segment.
Speaker 3 (23:00):
Instead we have this. This is in Omar Spates game.

Speaker 10 (28:00):
You know what's funny are where we are going? Because
I'm going to Pittsburgh for the Christmas for the Christmas

out there. Fortunately, I've been fortunate to meet Ben Roethlisberger
and know him, and so I was texting with him
trying to like kind of be like, oh, could I
rent a house or something if we were trying to
have Christmas in Pittsburgh? And uh so he and he
(28:24):

Oh wow, that is fantastic.
Speaker 3 (28:39):
I love that we're excited to see on that.
Speaker 6 (28:41):
Like Kyle does Angry Runs on our show and he
goes into an airport and everyone says, do the angry
Runs thing, and it's like, I got it, Nate, how
often are you asked to do the coffee letter?
Speaker 3 (28:50):
A bit?
Speaker 10 (28:50):
Like?
Speaker 3 (28:51):
Is it everywhere you go?
Speaker 6 (28:52):
And every It's the greatest comedy bit of like the
last ten years. Do people ask you to do it
everywhere you go or is it one of those where
it's just those who.
Speaker 10 (28:59):
Know you know, before it would be just they would
ask you to do it. Now is like they will
just tell me about it, which is nice.
Speaker 3 (29:08):
Uh.
Speaker 10 (29:09):
They kind of tell you the thing that they like,
so it switches. But yeah, for yeah, I mean it's
it is that a lot. It's like we'll be funny
and or do something funny and you're like, well, I
can't you know.
Speaker 4 (29:19):
The study Sure, we're in an airport. I don't know
if this is gonna land like it does?
Speaker 3 (29:28):
You know?
Speaker 7 (29:29):
Well, speaking of things that you're never asked about, remind
me here in America, how many feet are in a mile?
Speaker 3 (29:37):
You know it's five thousand something like that.
Speaker 7 (29:41):
We've seen these sketches you've done an ess and they're
just they're huge. They're they're for old people, young people.
Everybody just adores them. You've done a couple of them. Now,
when you look at the weird numbers and things that
we have in America, do you look at football and
see some of that too?
Speaker 3 (29:55):
Like what's odd to you in football? I know you're
a fan.
Speaker 10 (29:58):
Uh yeah, it's uh I mean, I mean, I have
a big fan you know. Uh, I'm trying to We
always talks about like, you know, the fumble out of
the end zone or you just get Yeah, it's just
like that's a yeah, that's a that's a fun because
you're just your whole life's ruined. You try to go
and then you just like accidentally funnelup to the end zone.
(30:19):
They're like, all right, we'll head on out, get in
the car, drove home.
Speaker 4 (30:22):
In the game, it's over. It's a brutal one.
Speaker 10 (30:25):
So yeah, stuff like that. I love, tell you what,
punning when they get it stick it to the one
yard line.
Speaker 4 (30:31):
It would be one of my favorite mode. I love
it. It's so fun. More than someone should love it.
Speaker 10 (30:36):
I excited, And maybe because I'm a Vaannerbil fan and
we've done our fair share of punning that roof, and
so that's.
Speaker 4 (30:44):
One that I enjoyed.
Speaker 2 (30:45):
Nate, I agree with you on this because there's always
that special teams guy who's flailing all of his limbs
at going one hundred and seventeen miles an hour downhill,
and when he reaches that pinnacle of tipping the ball
and getting it to stay on the one yard line
and everyone loses their minds like that might be the
best moment of that guy's life.
Speaker 4 (31:04):
Oh yeah, it's so fun.
Speaker 10 (31:06):
I mean you think and then you're if they don't
do it, You're like, how can you not tip it back?
And you know, it's just on my home watching this
guys out of his mind can't do a flip in
the end zone and flip it back. You go embarrassed.
It's embarrassing.
Speaker 9 (31:20):
You know, let's flip it back to October fifth. This
is big because you know you talking about your big
bandy fan. Uh it guys beat Alabama. Man, that was
so big. Walk me through that. I'm sure you were
going nuts doing this time nuts.
Speaker 10 (31:33):
So that was the night I hosted SNL for the
second time. So I was in my dressing room at
SNL and so we were watching it on my phone
and we were about to do dress rehearsal, and so
I was kind of finishing up, you know, and like
we're sitting there looking at the math, like trying to
add up to the clock and how the points, yeah,
and just being like, all right, is it gonna run out?
Like is the clock going to run out? So, yeah,
(31:54):
it was insane. I honestly got more text about that
than SNL and they.
Speaker 4 (32:00):
Would I got a lot of texts. People were like
are you there? Would go are you at the game?
Speaker 10 (32:06):
So I had to respond, I am not. I am
hosting Saturday Night line.
Speaker 9 (32:13):
You're missing it, you're missing it.
Speaker 2 (32:16):
Are you one of these guys that would get the
goal posts that the students tore down and like put
it in your backyard or something.
Speaker 10 (32:22):
I did do it. We beat so our first s win,
like well no, this was in nineties, our first SEC
we beat I think South Carolina. And funny is when
the right when the Titans came Titans were playing at
Vandy Stadium and so we went to go tear the
goal post down. I mean my senior year in high school,
we go tear the goal post down. But the Titans
(32:42):
game were there the next day, so they had this
is how nice bandy fans Burg. They had like one
guy he was like, hey, the Titans games tomorrow, so
don't do it, and we were like, oh yeah, okay,
that makes sense, and we just walked off.
Speaker 4 (32:53):
So no one did it. And then we beat Duke the.
Speaker 10 (32:56):
Next week and they go, all right, you can tear
this one down, So it looked like we were like
celebrating the Duke winn, but it was really a long
sec win.
Speaker 4 (33:03):
That's all.
Speaker 2 (33:04):
That's a great story. That's you're very kind, very generous
Titans fans, very aware all you guys in Tennessee. So
are the Titans. The Titans gifted you in a Derrick
Henry jersey years ago. Where is that jersey? And what
emotion do you feel when you see the king running
in purple?
Speaker 10 (33:20):
You know, it's I almost think it's something that you
get older. It's it's very weird to see him do that,
but you're as you get older, you're kind of happy
for the guys and you kind of you know, so
you're with Henry, You're like to see him running like
you're still running. I mean, out of all the teams
to go to Baltimore is one of the harder ones
to take in because we've had a lot of big
(33:41):
games with him over a lot of a lot of years.
But it's you really root for him. And I thought
that Dedre Hopkins when he went to Kansas City. It's
like you just as the guys that have been around
for a long time and that they've you know, put
in their dudes and stuff, and I think as I've
gotten older, you just kind of go like, I hope,
you know, it's like nice to see them go somewhere
and like be like, all right, yeah, get a little
quick new start, and yeah, Derrick Henry was very special.
(34:04):
When you see him run, it's just like you realize
what we had when you see him, even in Baltimore.
Speaker 4 (34:10):
But but I am.
Speaker 10 (34:11):
I'm rooting for him and DeAndre even Deandrerums are there
a couple of years, but it's like I'm excited to see,
you know, hope them have a you know, a great season.
Speaker 3 (34:20):
Like they do.
Speaker 6 (34:21):
Like theyre underrated rivalry in those early two thousands Ravens
versus Titans, Eddie George and Ray Lewis and Jeff Fisher
and Brian Billick, like they did not get along. Like
that's like that was like the heart of that era
right there. Look, you're you're doing awesome. Obviously, the CBS
specials huge, the Netflix game is huge, But like, I
(34:41):
respect the hell out of you because you really honed
your skills in the streets of New York when you
moved to New York City and you were a barking
comic outside the Comedy Seller, And I hear stories of
you and Dan Soder back when you guys were like
just trying to figure it out.
Speaker 3 (34:56):
What was it like as a struggling.
Speaker 4 (34:59):
Figuring it out comedian.
Speaker 6 (35:01):
In New York City back when you were here before
the SNL days.
Speaker 10 (35:06):
I mean you were just like, I mean, the good
thing is you're so you're young and dumb to not
realize that there's even really much something better out there
for you. But you know, it was that those are
the days that you'd go I would never take away.
Speaker 4 (35:18):
You'd like, would you go back to him? You're like,
I wouldn't go back to him, but I.
Speaker 10 (35:22):
Would not take It was kind of like our college,
so I mean, yeah, we would you know, barking. You
would hand out flyers trying to get an audience into
the crowd, and then we'd get you on stage as
a part of that do five minutes at the end.
Speaker 4 (35:34):
So you're just you know, it's in.
Speaker 10 (35:36):
The cold and you're are in the super hot or
whatever it is. But just seeing all the comedians come through,
I mean, I was of his day. Chappelle was doing
the Spell Show, was kind of right when it was
towards the end of the spell show and so getting
to him and he used to come into uh we
had there was a club in New York called Boston
Comedy Club. So I mean, I've seen Chappelle like go
up in front of you know, seven people, and so
(35:57):
like seeing that kind of thing was it's you look
back and I learned a lot and that's and that
was the thing, me and Soda running around and we
you know, we me and Soda went to Burrs first
time he was at town Hall together, and so you're
getting to you know, just getting to see all those
moments and you know, and then now actually between he
(36:17):
just did town Hall and so you get to, you know,
go back.
Speaker 4 (36:21):
And do the things that you me and him both watch.
Speaker 7 (36:24):
That's so cool and you tell the story really well.
You know, you come on our show to talk football,
and as a long time Titans fan, I hope this
is not torture. But what do you remember about one
yard short Titans rams McNair scrambles throw as it hits
the slant here it is, where were you in? What's
it like to look back on this.
Speaker 10 (36:42):
I remember I think I was working at I'm not
it was I was working at Applebee's where I met
my wife, and then yeah, I remember, I just I
mean it was heartbreaking. I mean like it's one of
those that we just got them, and you know, it's
at the moment, you know where you think it's it's
kind of hard to complain when you're like they're brand
new to us.
Speaker 4 (37:02):
But I always think about the tackle.
Speaker 10 (37:04):
That tackle was like, I mean, if he does not
grab his knee the way he grabs his knee, yep,
I think he gets over. And it was just I remember,
just even in that moment, just like what an unbelievable
The tackle was just so like you really get one
extra step, you know, and then you figure it like
all right, well we'll do it again, and then here
(37:25):
we are.
Speaker 2 (37:26):
And here you are. It's incredible recall from the pylons
coming down in Nashville to your CBO specialty.
Speaker 3 (37:34):
Fun fact.
Speaker 2 (37:35):
In the NFL regular season schedule, Week seventeen goes from
Wednesday to Monday, perhaps the longest regular season week we've
ever experienced. This triple header lands next Saturday. Peter, what
stands out to you?
Speaker 6 (37:48):
I love that there's three games and we've got at
least one playoff team in each of these games. However,
I'm looking at that eight pm Eastern five pm Pacific
sunsetting on the West Coast.
Speaker 3 (37:58):
Cardinals at Rams.
Speaker 6 (38:00):
Why, Jamie, not only are you going to be there
on the sidelines, but the Cars absolutely beat up the
Rams in Arizona earlier this year.
Speaker 4 (38:09):
There is a score to settle.
Speaker 6 (38:11):
It's McVeigh versus Gannon, It's Kyler versus Stafford. It's prime
time out in La in the beautiful hills of Hollywood.
Speaker 2 (38:19):
Hey, now look at that we go. It's time now
for fantasy advice percented by FedEx. Here are some players
that you should consider starting in Week sixteen. Let's go
with Bucks quarterback Baker Mayfield. He's projected to have nearly
seventeen points against Dallas. It's defense who gives up an
average of twenty points to quarterbacks. At running back James
Conner against the Panthers defense. He's coming off of major
(38:39):
back to back performances, averaging just about twenty six points
in the last two weeks. Carolina gives up an average
of nearly thirty to running back, so Connor should be
good for a big day. And if you're looking for
a wide out, Goo Jackson Smith and Jigbu, who squares
off against the Vikings. Let's Go Fantasy Advice presented by FedEx.
