Speaker 1 (00:23):
Good Morning Football.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
Hello everyone, I'm Jamie Erdahl, co host of Good Morning Football.

from the winners to the juicy stories backstage but still
to come. Here, we celebrate another incredible NFL season. More legends,

Speaker 3 (00:54):
This is the NFL Honors.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
Yeah, they let me in the building once. You can't
get rid of me. Now, welcome to Good Morning Football.
Present it by DraftKings Sportsbook. It's the Friday before Super
Bowl fifty nine. What's happening, good people? Mante Teo is
in La Kyle brand is in New York. Peter Schrager
is in parts of New Orleans. I have yet to
see that man, Peter. I owe you a hugged, so
(01:19):
you don't like to be hugged. I'm Jamie heard all
the voice you heard too much last night on Honors. Guys,
my first Honors. That was such an awesome night. Kyle,
thank you for putting it on your Instagram. The fact
that I had to look out for Don Draper as
he walked off stage.
Speaker 4 (01:35):
Jamie, I just have one thing to say, Hello everyone.
I am Jamie Erdahl, co host of Good Morning Jamie.
You were like you went into a different realm. We've
been working with you for years. You're natural, and you're
likable and lovely, and last night you were like in
evening mode talking about NFL Honors. Today was elegant. Does
(01:55):
all hell? Where did you find that gear?
Speaker 1 (01:58):
Wow?
Speaker 3 (01:59):
Thank you, thank you.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
I felt fancy. I felt like I had to rise
to the occasion. The bar that Snooped set, if you will,
I had my van of White moment happening.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
It was, you know, I.
Speaker 3 (02:09):
Learned so much.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
I've never been a part of an A word show before,
but I've always heard voice actors, and.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
I'm like, I can do this.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
I'm gonna channel this, and I want to be a
voice to remember and just set the tone for a
very wonderful evening.
Speaker 3 (02:23):
Peter Schrager, and.
Speaker 5 (02:25):
You didn't take a shot at Belichick, which was appreciated.
Speaker 6 (02:28):
I saw Snoop did. But it was a very fun night.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
Wow.
Speaker 5 (02:33):
There's a lot of things and a lot of sights
and sounds there and that was appreciated. And Jamie, you
were an All Star. I love seeing you. I'm so
proud of you. That was awesome, great job as always
representing the show.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
Listen, it was a night to celebrate.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
From NFL Honors, Jared Verse, Jaydon Daniels a couple of times,
sa Quon Barkley, Patzertannet. Of course, not spoiling anything, Josh
Alan named the twenty twenty four.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
MVP Peter Schrager.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
Before we dive into some moments, memorable moments, things that
we are still talking about this morning.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
From NFL Honors. You weren't on the show yesterday. I
gotta tell you.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
I flew here La to New Orleans on the same
flight as Eric Allen.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
I didn't mention who it was.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
On my flight because I didn't want to jinx him.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
And I'm glad I did it.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
Because it was a pretty cool night for some of
those Hall of famers.
Speaker 6 (03:17):
Well done. You would have spoiled it. Good thing not
doing that.
Speaker 5 (03:20):
The Hall of Fame things real quick on the MVP,
Josh Allen wins it.
Speaker 6 (03:24):
Lamar Jackson comes in second.
Speaker 5 (03:26):
We explained the voting process and how the scoring, how
every ballot had to give first, second, third, fourth, and
fifth place votes and how that was tabulated was going
to be different than the All Pro team, and maybe
that's what led to Josh Allen being the MVP and
Lamar Jackson being the first team All Pro. Transparency matters, though,
(03:46):
and if you're going to have an MVP vote, it's
all out there for you guys. If you have a
problem with the vote, you can see whoeveryone voted for
apnews dot Com.
Speaker 6 (03:55):
It's all there.
Speaker 5 (03:56):
You could see exactly who was voted and who they
voted for from the fifty voter so if you want
to check that out, that was MVP. Josh Allen wins
it awesome, cool moment with his lady right there.
Speaker 6 (04:09):
But I got to go to Hall of Fame.
Speaker 5 (04:10):
I got to give a shout out to the four
gentlemen who are now etched forever in Canton and really
had their moment, Eric Allen.
Speaker 6 (04:17):
You mentioned Jared Allen.
Speaker 5 (04:20):
Of course, we have Sterling Sharp who's waited so many years,
and then the great Antonio Gate, who our buddy Achbar
was celebrating with afterwards, which I think is so cool.
Speaker 6 (04:29):
I want to give those guys their moment.
Speaker 5 (04:30):
They are all Hall of famers, they are all well deserving,
and I'm so thrilled.
Speaker 6 (04:34):
For them and their families.
Speaker 5 (04:37):
I do want to take the second though, as a
native New Yorker and as somebody who was in New
York during two different Eli Manning super Bowl victories over
Tom Brady, and just say I think Eli Manning should
have gotten in last night.
Speaker 6 (04:53):
And I know you might say, well, he will get in.
Who cares, He'll get it, and he's a Hall of Famer.
Speaker 5 (04:58):
It could it have been more perfect in New Orleans,
with his father there, with his brother there, with the
NFL honors like in his hometown. I think Eli's a
first ballot Hall of Famer. And maybe that's not the case,
and obviously it wasn't, but as somebody who covered that
team and it was in that market, it wasn't just those.
Speaker 6 (05:18):
Two super Bowl victories over Brady. If that was it,
I could argue with you guys.
Speaker 5 (05:22):
He was a consummate NFL player, a consummate Giant, played
his entire career with one team, and look how awful
the Giants have been since he left. I know they
were up and down seasons, but as we are in
the city of New Orleans, which the Mannings claim home
and have been so good to.
Speaker 6 (05:39):
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (05:40):
I thought it might have been okay to put Eli
Manning in as a first ballot Hall of Famer instead
of putting him in next year in San Francisco, which
there is no history and there's no real reverence for
much respect to the four guys who got in, but
they're allowed to have five, why not put Eli in?
Speaker 6 (05:54):
That's on the voters.
Speaker 5 (05:55):
But just like the MVP Award, the voters make their
picks and we've got to live with the results.
Speaker 6 (05:59):
But to me, Eli Manning, first ballot Hall of Famer.
Speaker 4 (06:02):
Peter, I love you, and I love when your true
fan comes out, and I love when your jersey comes out.
It has nothing to do with where they were, and
that's not what it's about, Peter. Who cares if they
were in Louisiana. I know it would have made for
a cool story. I totally get it. He will get in.
I was actually shocked, shocked that he did not get
(06:24):
in last night, And in a way, I think it's
kind of rock and roll that the voters did not
think about that stuff and they said we'll get to
him he is going to enter this hall like so
many others, but we have business first.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
I was very surprised that they did a couple things.
I don't know if you.
Speaker 4 (06:39):
Guys saw this, but Eric Allen was asked what was
the hardest part of this journey? Was it the injuries?
Was it coming out of college and establishing yourself? He said, honestly,
the whole hardest part of this journey was all of
the questions and conversation I got from Jamie Rdall on
the flight here to New Orleans.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
She would not leave me alone on the plane.
Speaker 4 (06:56):
That's the hardest thing that I went through in my
entire Hall of Fame career was that.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
But I persevere.
Speaker 4 (07:02):
Justin Jefferson goes on the stage last night for someone
like Peter and certainly me, we can't relate in any
way to Justin Jefferson, what his life is, what.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
His ability is.
Speaker 4 (07:13):
Now he does his job just wildly, wildly talented, an
alien compared to me. And yet you better believe I
related to Justin Jefferson. I to Bleeping Eye last night
when he came out on the stage and this beautiful
disaster happened.
Speaker 7 (07:29):
Go ahead, playing robins in NFL is a dream job,
but planning a position in Minnesota it means something.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
A little extra. Oh, I'm sorry.
Speaker 7 (07:44):
Because of the tradition and excellence we've got going on there.
Speaker 8 (07:53):
The prompter.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
I'm sorry, guys, but the.
Speaker 7 (08:01):
All right, that's good, right now, we're gonna start it over,
to start it over. Were gonna start it over, Clamor
Roberts even an NFL as a dream.
Speaker 4 (08:12):
Job, incredibly charming, and I want to talk about this
for three hours.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
Okay.
Speaker 4 (08:21):
So you have the coolest looking person ever who is
so charismatic, and he comes out there and he's great,
and he's so electric, and everyone's excited, and then of
course he's forced into reading the dumb teleprompter script that
someone wrote, and he goes completely mechanical, and then, for
whatever reason, after the first paragraph, no one scrolls the
prompter or the prompter.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
Freezes, and dude, we have been there. It is paralyzing.
Speaker 4 (08:45):
And the fact that he not only hung in, he
made the audience like him more and he wrote with
it justin. Dude, I have never loved you more. I
have never been more impressed with you.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
I saw you.
Speaker 4 (08:57):
Make a one handed catching buffalo on a fourth and
about thirty that no human being should ever make. This
was ten times that, looking into the frozen prompter and
just playing it off. And that's after he bumped the microphone. God,
that was so cool.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
My wife's sitting next to me.
Speaker 4 (09:12):
She's like, I love him, and I'm like, so do I, honey.
That is when he goes into the Hall of Fame.
Never mind any catch play that. Justin Jefferson, Jay Jenna gorgeous.
I love you, Jamie, you were there. What'd you think, Kyle?
Speaker 2 (09:26):
I have never wanted to run out and hand somebody
a paper script master that I wanted.
Speaker 3 (09:32):
To help Justin Jefferson in that moment.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
I am literally twenty feet away from him, and I
have my hand on the piece of paper that has it,
and I'm about to rip it out of my binder
so I could say, Justin, let me help you. You
are amazing and I love every I hate that this
is happening to you. I did approach him backstage immediately
after this moment and I was like, you good man,
or are we okay with the prompter? He goes, I
don't know how you guys do that all the time.
(09:55):
That's insane. And then we had a conversation about how
when local television people roll their own prompter. His mind
was totally blown. It was a perfect moment. Justin Jefferson,
we love you, man.
Speaker 3 (10:07):
It was awesome.
Speaker 9 (10:07):
Oh we love you. We loved everything about the honors.
This is what I took from the Honors, guys. I
was reminded of the mere fact that we, as members
of the National Football League, have an opportunity to create
a lot of change, to apply a lot of positivity
into this world. And it was reminded that from the
get go when you saw Randy Moss come on the screen,
and you know, to a lot of people, Randy is
(10:29):
this iconic figure. He's almost superhuman, but we also know
that he's battling this horrible disease. And kind of like
how Kyle related to Justin Jefferson in that little moment,
imagine how many people can relate to this icon who's
going through the same treatments. He's going through the same pains,
but to see the hope and the faith at which
(10:49):
he's he's fighting this disease and how it may have
an impact on this people to say, man, maybe I
can Moss cancer too, And then to go to the
Comeback Player of the Year award. This is one of
my favorite awards. Obviously Joe Burrow wins, but you have
guys like Damar Hamlin, like JK.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
Dobbins.
Speaker 9 (11:05):
If you don't know JK dobbins story, He's had injury
after injury after injury, and if somebody who personally, I've
had a lot of injuries in my career, I know
how it feels to be at the foot of that
mountain called Mount Rehab and looking up at the summit
and be like, man, I got to do this again.
And then for JK. Dobbins to be almost at the
summit and to have another injury but have the courage
(11:27):
to shake it off and start over again. And then
to the MVP himself, Josh Allen in his MVP speech,
we're in the same sentence that he thanks the ownership
of the bills, He thanks Slick Rick, the mailman, and
Josh Allen, And it reminded me of Tom Hardy quote
that said I was race to treat the janitor with
(11:48):
the same respect that I treat the CEO. What an
example that is for all the youth out there, all
the young people that are watching the MVP of our
league speak and to end his quote with be good,
do good, and then to wrap it all up, you
got Steve Gleason out there now, guys. I'll I was
in New Orleans for three years and I had the
honor of participating in a lot of the charitable work
(12:11):
that they.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
Did over there in New Orleans.
Speaker 9 (12:13):
And I got to see firsthand the type of impact
that one person could have on this world.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
And so what did I get from it?
Speaker 9 (12:22):
I was reminded that the realities are this, that one
day we're all going to have to hang up these cleats, right,
and as time goes by, people aren't going to remember
the catches. They're not going to remember the touchdowns, the interceptions,
the records, the wins, the losses, but they are going
to remember how they made them feel, how you made
them feel. And justin Jefferson, I know you've made so
(12:43):
many spectacular catches and highlights and things that we'll remember forever.
But you want to know what Declan and Calvin Brant
are going to remember. They're going to remember the time
that you took that picture with them in New Orleans
at the twenty twenty five probo. That's what they're going
to remember, and so I'm going to be more proud
(13:04):
as a member of the National Football League to see
the main guys represented that way and the messages that
they're pushing. So, man, I loved everything about it, and
I'm excited to see where we go from here.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
I'm ma'am matce I really really well, said Steve Gleason
went by. I was talking to Sam Darnold on the
red carpet and Steve Gleason went by us, and he's like,
that guy is an absolute legend, the impact that he has.
Josh Allen's whole tone last night was different than the player,
than person that we normally kind of get in the media.
He was thoughtful and emotional and I actually was able
to interview him a couple of minutes after he won
(13:38):
his award, and I said, your speech was amazing, and
he's like, thanks, I kind of blacked out. Did it
go okay? And he was genuinely concerned that his message
didn't come across. I said, Josh, that was great, and
then we finished our interview and he turns and he
looks around. He goes, you think I could bring my
family and my fiance up here and I go, Josh,
I think you can do anything.
Speaker 3 (13:56):
You want to tonight. Like in the NFL, now.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
Like Josh Allen is an MVP, it was a totally
different side of him last night. I really enjoyed seeing
this version of Josh Allen, and honestly, for as likable
as he was before, he kind of makes you want
to root for him and Buffalo moving forward. So at
the end of my interview, I actually said, and I
hope it's okay to speak on bath of you guys,
and said gmfb's really happy for you.
Speaker 3 (14:17):
Josh.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
He goes, thanks, love you guys, and that was it.
It was perfect, and that's what it was for an MVP,
all right.
Speaker 4 (14:26):
Jalen Hurts will attempt on Sunday to derail the dynasty,
to be the third quarterback to ever beat Patrick Mahomes
on a playoff game. And one of the ways he's
going to do it is with his temperament. We have
all said it in one way or another over the
last several months and years, even that Jalen Hurts is
incredibly cool that he does not panic, he does not
get to high, get too low, and in that market,
(14:46):
with that fan base, it's a really great, great quality.
Speaker 1 (14:49):
Specifically, yesterday, I said in.
Speaker 4 (14:52):
His press conferences, you really can't even tell if he
won or lost. He's the same guy every single time. So,
my friends, we're going to put that to a test
in a game called The Truth Hurts. The truth you're
looking for, I'm going to play you a clip from
a postgame press conference of Jalen Hurts throughout his career
the last few years.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
All you need to do is watch.
Speaker 4 (15:14):
The clip and say, that's after a win or that's
after a loss. Do it however you want. We will
do the same order every single time. You will go, Jamie, Mantai, Peter,
the Truth Hurts. Here comes clip number one. Guys, this
is right after the game. Jalen Hurts plays the Super
Bowl on Sunday. But in this clip is he speaking
(15:34):
after an Eagles win or an Eagle's loss?
Speaker 1 (15:37):
Roll it.
Speaker 10 (15:39):
Obviously we have a ton to clean up. I have
a ton to clean up. I am not executed to
the love of my standard and what that is. Yet
you know, it seems to be enough. But in terms
of the standard that I like to play to consistently,
and I'd like us to play to consistently as a team,
(16:02):
enough is never enough.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
Jamie win.
Speaker 4 (16:12):
Win, Okay, go ahead and speak, guys.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
I'll say win. Yes, I thought it was. It's for Jamie.
Speaker 6 (16:21):
Go ahead, Kyle, I'm gonna do something one better. I'm
gonna win, and I'm gonna guess which game. I'm gonna say.
Speaker 5 (16:25):
It's after the Jacksonville win when they were bowing, Sirianni,
I'm gonna say win.
Speaker 6 (16:29):
They just I mean for Lauren Jalen Hurts. But yet
I feel like they won.
Speaker 4 (16:32):
That game, all right, Peter always going for double Peter,
you were wrong, guys. It is after a win, but
it was after a kind of infamous win twenty twenty
three season. They had just beaten the Bills in overtime
to get to ten and one, and remember that's when
it kind of derailed. So he's saying, you know, we
got a lot to clean up, We got to do
(16:53):
this and this. He was probably right. So I'm gonna
say Peter is wrong. Manti and Jamie are right. Moving forward,
clip number two. Remember it always goes Jamie Mantai Peter.
Clip number two of Jalen Hurts. Does this come after
a win or after a loss?
Speaker 10 (17:11):
You know I said it earlier no man is an island.
You must draw your strength from others. I can't perform
without the other ten on the field, and same on
the other side. They need me to do my job
for them.
Speaker 8 (17:23):
To eat.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
When when.
Speaker 4 (17:31):
Win, guys, that was after a win they even Sun
seated the Vikings twenty twenty two, the first Super Bowl
season they Hurts was absolutely dominant three hundred yards and
he's sitting there saying, no man is in island, drawing
your own strengths.
Speaker 1 (17:48):
It's really mercurial.
Speaker 4 (17:49):
There's no glint in his eye, there's no smile.
Speaker 1 (17:51):
He is just locked in.
Speaker 4 (17:53):
Let's get to clip number three again, Jamie, and feel
free to give us a little bit of an analysis
or anything behind you, Jamie Mansai Peter clip number three.
Speaker 10 (18:04):
We have to intensely control the controllables, and I think
when I look at this game, there are a lot
of things that we could have controlled fundamentally in our details,
(18:26):
the little things.
Speaker 3 (18:32):
Loss. He looked at the table seven times instead of three.
Speaker 9 (18:35):
Yeah, there was a long gap in the explanation, so
I say it's a loss.
Speaker 5 (18:39):
I'm taking another guest here, guy, that's for analysis. I'm
not going to be short. Week two, they lost to Atlanta.
Remember Saquon dropped the pass. I'm gonna say that's the game,
the loss to Atlanta and the Monday Night game.
Speaker 1 (18:52):
Guys.
Speaker 4 (18:52):
This was the Monday Night game where they lost to Atlanta.
Y cus Is game winning drive dropped, Peter take a
victory lap.
Speaker 6 (19:02):
Come on, that's it, little fist popper.
Speaker 5 (19:04):
Yeah, head, that's like saq I remember the press conference,
the whole control of the uncontrollables. There was a lot
of stuff, and I remember it being there like, hey,
the Giants might have known something here, Saquon Barkley might
not be that great, and then sure enough he went
on and did what he did.
Speaker 8 (19:20):
This is all.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
Right, Peters. That's what you call just peacocky or pete cocky,
and that's what we do.
Speaker 4 (19:26):
He's just showing off for you. All right, next clip, guys.
But I wonder if Peter can nail this game too.
Is this after an Eagles win or an Eagles loss.
Speaker 10 (19:38):
I carry my scars on me everywhere I go.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
I don't forget.
Speaker 10 (19:42):
Do I waste my energy worrying about the pain of
someone else, pain of a sheet.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
No, But I truly invest my.
Speaker 10 (19:51):
Focus in me getting getting better as a team getting
better as a player, excuse me, getting better as a
quarterback and doing the things I need to do for
my team. So everybody in their opinion on deposit at
the bank.
Speaker 8 (20:07):
Gosh.
Speaker 3 (20:08):
I like his energy in that clip.
Speaker 2 (20:09):
I really badly want to say it's a win, but
I think he's trying to deceive us, and I actually.
Speaker 3 (20:13):
Think this is after a loss. He kind of seems
like annoyed.
Speaker 9 (20:16):
Yeah, he does seem a little annoyed, Jamien. It's a
little annoying that I can't figure this out. So I'm
going to say us after a win.
Speaker 5 (20:23):
Okay, I'm saying it's a win over the Steelers this
year where he didn't play great, but Saiquon Shure did.
Speaker 9 (20:28):
The other Peter goes into details. I know that I'm right,
So go ahead, go ahead, sreg. This is interesting, Peter.
It is after a win. However, it is after.
Speaker 4 (20:38):
A twenty twenty two win Eagles over Giants. They crushed
him forty eight to twenty two. Week fourteen, Taekwon was
stuffed in this game. Staikwon had twenty two yards rushing
against his future franchise was great, and I think there'd
been some talk leading up to the week, and so
he came out and dusted out the old opinion of
the sheep quote. So, guys, where are we at, score
(21:01):
wise production booth?
Speaker 1 (21:03):
What do we have? Go ahead, do we have the screw?
Speaker 4 (21:05):
What do we have?
Speaker 1 (21:07):
Nice man Jamie with three?
Speaker 4 (21:12):
So here's our moneyball, guys, this is where two points
last clip.
Speaker 8 (21:16):
Let's go.
Speaker 1 (21:17):
Is this after a win? Or is this after a
Jalen Hurts loss? Roll it?
Speaker 10 (21:24):
I know I've walked through the fire time and time again,
and in the end, it's always made me stronger and.
Speaker 1 (21:32):
The only thing that I've wanted to do.
Speaker 10 (21:35):
I've just been on this constant quest of trying to
be the best player I can be with no limits.
Speaker 6 (21:43):
Hmm.
Speaker 2 (21:44):
I think this is after the Super Bowl fifty seven loss?
Speaker 9 (21:49):
Okay, loss, no limits. There's a limit to my knowledge
of this. I'll say it's after a win kb okay,
Peter Jamie.
Speaker 6 (22:00):
I'm playing the context clues.
Speaker 5 (22:01):
Usually after the Super Bowl, they're stuck in some like
weird room with no official background.
Speaker 6 (22:05):
There's like a black curtain.
Speaker 5 (22:07):
It's like very disheveled, and there's international media screaming questions
at them. I don't think it was a super Bowl loss.
I think it was last game they played. I think
it was the NFC championship win over the Commanders.
Speaker 4 (22:18):
All right, so Peter says win and this is a
fascinating one, guys. That was when Jalen Hurts came out
to announce that he had signed a two hundred and
fifty five million So that is.
Speaker 1 (22:31):
A big win, big win.
Speaker 4 (22:33):
And he's sitting there saying nice, I've walked through the
fire time and again nothing.
Speaker 1 (22:37):
He is so locked in.
Speaker 4 (22:38):
That could have been a loss to the Falcons, that
could have been a win over the Giants. That was
announcing his contract. Peter, what did you learn from watching
these clips with Jalen Hurts as it might apply to
Sunday's game.
Speaker 5 (22:50):
As a cucumber cannot be phased, and I think at
some point Jalen Hurts gonna have to make a pass.
And I don't think he's going to be nervous, and
I don't think the moment's going to be too big.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
Beautiful, beautiful, Jamie, take us home.
Speaker 3 (23:04):
Thanks.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
We find out that Landon Dickerson buys a lawnmower when
he gets his contract extension, and Jalen Hurts looks like
that after he gets paid two hundred.
Speaker 3 (23:11):
And fifty five million dollars. It's perfect. The Eagles are playing
in another Super Bowl once again.
Speaker 4 (23:15):
Kyle.
Speaker 3 (23:15):
Really well done. This is Chris Heatherington. Everybody you know him.
He's a friend of our show.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
You know him as a former NFL player, but also
as like the coolest job ever, the creator of fat Heads.
Speaker 3 (23:24):
We love fat Heads and we love Chris Heatherington. What's
going on.
Speaker 8 (23:27):
Thank you so much for having me. I'm excited.
Speaker 3 (23:28):
It's so good to see you.
Speaker 2 (23:30):
Kyle's here because we know that you know and love
Kyle as everybody does. But Chris, you have a project
moving forward. You and your family in the last we
were just talking about this in the commercial. In the
last month or so, affected by the LA fires like
many people, where you suffered a terrible loss. But you
are here to announce something really incredible that you are
(23:50):
doing an initiative to give back to the victims of
the LA fires.
Speaker 8 (23:54):
Yeah, thanks so much. You know, it's been a rough
couple of weeks. My family, I really started to hear. Yeah,
I lost our home and really all all of our community.
So it's.
Speaker 11 (24:02):
It's been a challenging couple of weeks. But we're sided
with fath heead to you know, especially considering my family circumstances,
to really you know, create an initiative to get back right.
So we partner with two eleven LA, a local nonprofit
if I have a one C three you know, who
provides recovery services or relief services and information to people
that have been displaced in the LA wildfire. So you know,
(24:22):
we're we think it's gonna be a great partnership. We're
getting a lot of great support from the Rams, the Chargers,
and the Lakers, and so we're really very excited.
Speaker 3 (24:29):
That's amazing.
Speaker 4 (24:30):
Chris, You've had this really really cool life, and I
really mean that. You're an Ivy League guy, you have
a long, long NFL career, you have this incredible company
now in this beautiful family, and disasters like this don't
care about any of that.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
All victims they don't mind. They go right through it.
Speaker 4 (24:46):
There's no protecting yourself from this, no matter what your
life has been like.
Speaker 1 (24:50):
Would you mind Chris indulging us.
Speaker 4 (24:52):
And just give us some details about what you've been through,
because I know there's other people who could relate to it,
and certainly a lot of us who can learn from it.
Speaker 11 (24:59):
Yeah, you know, like I said earlier, it's been tough Kyle,
and really from my wife and I for the kids, right,
we got a six year old and a ten year old,
and it's really focusing on making short term decisions with
best for our family, right, not make any emotional long
term decisions. I mean, we lost our whole life, right,
Our whole life is in a house and how do
you even have a change of clothes and didn't have
time to really take anything out of there. We got
(25:21):
out of there so quickly. But you know, the thing
to emphasize, like we're safe, we have our family unit,
we are safe, we're healthy, we can replace material things.
Let's try to figure out where we want to be
in this next chapter of life. And in the short term,
you know, creating some sense of normalcy for my children,
my six and ten year old, so getting them back
in school, getting them back in sports again, and try
(25:41):
to move on, right, Like, eventually you have to move
on and accept this is our reality and we're going
to make the best of it as a family unit.
Speaker 4 (25:49):
Chris, Jamie and I both have children as well. I
have a ten year old as well and an eight
year old. How do you even begin to explain that.
You know that their room is gone and their toys
are gone, and.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
You have to keep it positive and constructive, But how
do you do that as a parent? I have no idea.
Speaker 11 (26:06):
Yeah, there's no playbook for it, right, So we're we
were kind of doing it on the fly, and it
was important for us, like I said earlier Kyle, to
really you know, use this as a moment as a
family to come together and realize what's important. You know,
how can we support people that maybe have it or
worse off than us?
Speaker 8 (26:23):
And so yeah, it's just like I said, there's no playbook.
Speaker 11 (26:26):
But again, the way I broke it down in my
head is just trying to make really good short term
decisions and then graduate to long term decisions.
Speaker 3 (26:32):
There's a lot of cool ways to describe you, Chris.
You see it on the graphic there.
Speaker 2 (26:35):
You're also a father and a husband, but this philanthropic
effort that you are now putting forward may become the
most important one and the most impactful one. So it's
really cool. Is there a social media or anything people
can go to look for for information or how to help.
Speaker 11 (26:48):
Yeah, so we're putting together some initiatives. We have some
other terrible organizations we're working with, but it'll be on
our website very soon. We're going to donate a portunate
proceeds to you know, these initiatives, and you know, two
eleven LA is really going to be a great partner
of ours.
Speaker 8 (27:01):
We're excited about that.
Speaker 3 (27:03):
Really glad to learn all about this.
Speaker 2 (27:04):
I'm really sorry to hear what happened to you and
your family and everybody that's affected. But it's awesome to
move forward and then you're going to be behind it all.
Speaker 8 (27:11):
Thank you so much. I appreciate having.
Speaker 2 (27:12):
Yep, Chris Heatherington, everybody, Kyle, your buddy, I know you
wish you'd be here to give him a hub.
Speaker 5 (27:17):
The man there he is, Yep, the undisputed greatest football
show in the history of the world.
Speaker 1 (27:26):
Good morning football, hang away, hike up. How about coming
out to sound our galler horn.
Speaker 5 (27:34):
Yeah, I've never seen the spike down.
Speaker 1 (27:38):
One of the worst I've ever seen yet. I'm not
going to father in the segment. Stop rooting for you.
Speaker 5 (27:45):
I had this deal in the early two thousands and
I wouldn't leave the house without one.
Speaker 4 (27:49):
So hot, Peter, I was hot I'll tell how hot
you were about ninety eight degrees if you were playing
in the ANC and you're reading Patrick Mahomes are your
two dads, That's what I'm talking about.
Speaker 10 (28:01):
Let's go.
Speaker 4 (28:02):
He's out there just rebuking baptize it on a Sunday.
Speaker 1 (28:06):
Yeah, he threw me out the.
Speaker 2 (28:09):
Face that I make when the four month old starts
to stir and then she puts herself back to sleep.
Speaker 1 (28:14):
Ye want some shaving dream anything?
Speaker 8 (28:19):
Oh my goodness, I'm going to the oxygen.
Speaker 9 (28:21):
Okay, so I got to run over five people to
the set.
Speaker 1 (28:25):
If only one a week. It's not given, it is earned.
Come and get it.
Speaker 3 (28:33):
And what a year it has been on GMFB. Guys,
don't stress.
Speaker 2 (28:38):
We still go year round on the off season, the combine,
the draft, the everything, but regular season GMTB hits different.
Speaker 3 (28:44):
We love it.
Speaker 2 (28:45):
Thank you guys so much for watching all those moments
and then some. But that doesn't mean it's not Super
Bowl Friday. And that doesn't mean that we don't want
to make bold prediction.
Speaker 3 (28:54):
Guys. It's time boldly proclaim one thing.
Speaker 2 (28:57):
That you absolutely know, without a shadow of a doubt,
will happen in Super Bowl fifty nine, Peter, you have
the floor.
Speaker 6 (29:04):
Well, it's been reported now, so I could say it.
Speaker 5 (29:07):
I got to a ten Chiefs practice the other day,
which was a really rare and cool experience that's not
given to many. And it was an incredible opportunity the
week of the Super Bowl to watch a team in
their final preparation with pads do their thing. And I'm
going to say this, I think DeAndre Hopkins and Kareem
Hunt both make big plays and have big days on Sunday.
(29:29):
D hop We've been waiting thirty two years old. We've
done the story all week long. Has never had the
opportunity to play for a Super Bowl. He is one
of the best wide receivers of his generation, a three
time All Pro.
Speaker 6 (29:41):
He looked great at practice.
Speaker 5 (29:43):
He's also looked really, really good since getting to Kansas City,
and he has been humble and he has been waiting
for his moment.
Speaker 6 (29:51):
Then there's Kareem Hunt, who came in.
Speaker 5 (29:53):
Twenty seventeen as a rookie and was one of the
best running.
Speaker 6 (29:57):
Backs in all of football. Had major issues.
Speaker 5 (30:00):
They got rid of him, goes to Cleveland, was out
of football altogether and was training on his own for
the last year the Chiefs. When Isaiah Pacheco goes down,
the Chiefs are sitting there wondering is it Carson Steele's
samaj p Ryan and Kareem Hunt calls Andy Reid and says,
give me one more shot.
Speaker 6 (30:18):
Coach. Kareem Hunt's been a revelation since he got there.
I think both those.
Speaker 5 (30:22):
Players, DeAndre Hopkins and Kareem Hunt have big days on
Sunday and they might be hoisting Lombardi's when it's all
said and done.
Speaker 4 (30:30):
Peter I got, Kareem Hunt is my dark horse MVP
and to that love it. You know what's going to
happen on Sunday. They're gonna get the Super Bowl MVP wrong.
I feel like they do this all the time. Now
that we're done with the Josh Versus Lamar MVP, I'm
already debating the Super Bowl MVP. I feel like this
happens often, and I feel like the vote is perfunctory
and you give it to the winning quarterback when oftentimes
(30:50):
there's much more valuable guys on that quarterback's own offense
or maybe defense, or even as we saw last time
when it was Eagles Chiefs the other side of the ball.
The MVP of the Super Bowl has happened before on
a losing team. It was Super Bowl five. It was
Chuck Howley of the Cowboys. Just open your mind. I
know these voters have to do it before the game
is over and they're totally distracted. It doesn't have to
(31:10):
be Mahomes or Hurts if they earn it, sure, but
I would love an alternative choice. A wide receiver, a
running back, a pass rusher, anybody. I would go up
and down the line if I have more time. I
think often often the most valuable player is not given
the award. I hope this year that they are, but
they probably won't be Matt Tiitao.
Speaker 9 (31:27):
Guys, you guys know how hard it is to operate
in absolutes. It is hard to say. I know this
for sure, but I got a little fun fact for
you guys.
Speaker 1 (31:34):
Okay, In twenty.
Speaker 9 (31:35):
Twenty four, the Eagles have won twelve coin tosses and
they've deferred all twelve. The Chiefs have won nine coin
tosses and they've deferred all nine. So one thing I
know for sure is when they line up to call
the coin toss.
Speaker 1 (31:50):
Whoever wins that coin toss.
Speaker 9 (31:52):
Is going to defer, So Jamie, I'll say they're going
to differ.
Speaker 1 (31:55):
I know that for sure.
Speaker 2 (31:56):
Guys, the segment could have been like this guy's going
to catch a touchdown or this guy proposed to his
girlfriend at the end.
Speaker 3 (32:03):
Of the game.
Speaker 2 (32:03):
No, you went MVP coin toss and Peter, ever, the professional,
Peter Puka Shell Schraeger. Ever, the professional is telling us
Hunt and DeAndre Hopkins is going to have a great day.
Good Morning Football.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
Hello everyone, I'm Jamie Erdahl, co host of Good Morning Football.

Present it by DraftKings Sportsbook. It's the Friday before Super
Bowl fifty nine. What's happening, good people? Mante Teo is
in La Kyle brand is in New York. Peter Schrager
is in parts of New Orleans. I have yet to
see that man, Peter. I owe you a hugged, so
(01:19):
you don't like to be hugged. I'm Jamie heard all
the voice you heard too much last night on Honors. Guys,
my first Honors. That was such an awesome night. Kyle,
thank you for putting it on your Instagram. The fact
that I had to look out for Don Draper as
he walked off stage.
Speaker 4 (01:35):
Jamie, I just have one thing to say, Hello everyone.
I am Jamie Erdahl, co host of Good Morning Jamie.
You were like you went into a different realm. We've
been working with you for years. You're natural, and you're
likable and lovely, and last night you were like in
evening mode talking about NFL Honors. Today was elegant. Does
(01:55):
all hell? Where did you find that gear?
Speaker 1 (01:58):
Wow?
Speaker 3 (01:59):
Thank you, thank you.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
I felt fancy. I felt like I had to rise
to the occasion. The bar that Snooped set, if you will,
I had my van of White moment happening.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
It was, you know, I.
Speaker 3 (02:09):
Learned so much.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
I've never been a part of an A word show before,
but I've always heard voice actors, and.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
I'm like, I can do this.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
I'm gonna channel this, and I want to be a
voice to remember and just set the tone for a
very wonderful evening.
Speaker 3 (02:23):
Peter Schrager, and.
Speaker 5 (02:25):
You didn't take a shot at Belichick, which was appreciated.
Speaker 6 (02:28):
I saw Snoop did. But it was a very fun night.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
Wow.
Speaker 5 (02:33):
There's a lot of things and a lot of sights
and sounds there and that was appreciated. And Jamie, you
were an All Star. I love seeing you. I'm so
proud of you. That was awesome, great job as always
representing the show.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
Listen, it was a night to celebrate.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
From NFL Honors, Jared Verse, Jaydon Daniels a couple of times,
sa Quon Barkley, Patzertannet. Of course, not spoiling anything, Josh
Alan named the twenty twenty four.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
MVP Peter Schrager.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
Before we dive into some moments, memorable moments, things that
we are still talking about this morning.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
From NFL Honors. You weren't on the show yesterday. I
gotta tell you.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
I flew here La to New Orleans on the same
flight as Eric Allen.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
I didn't mention who it was.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
On my flight because I didn't want to jinx him.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
And I'm glad I did it.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
Because it was a pretty cool night for some of
those Hall of famers.
Speaker 6 (03:17):
Well done. You would have spoiled it. Good thing not
doing that.
Speaker 5 (03:20):
The Hall of Fame things real quick on the MVP,
Josh Allen wins it.
Speaker 6 (03:24):
Lamar Jackson comes in second.
Speaker 5 (03:26):
We explained the voting process and how the scoring, how
every ballot had to give first, second, third, fourth, and
fifth place votes and how that was tabulated was going
to be different than the All Pro team, and maybe
that's what led to Josh Allen being the MVP and
Lamar Jackson being the first team All Pro. Transparency matters, though,
(03:46):
and if you're going to have an MVP vote, it's
all out there for you guys. If you have a
problem with the vote, you can see whoeveryone voted for
apnews dot Com.
Speaker 6 (03:55):
It's all there.
Speaker 5 (03:56):
You could see exactly who was voted and who they
voted for from the fifty voter so if you want
to check that out, that was MVP. Josh Allen wins
it awesome, cool moment with his lady right there.
Speaker 6 (04:09):
But I got to go to Hall of Fame.
Speaker 5 (04:10):
I got to give a shout out to the four
gentlemen who are now etched forever in Canton and really
had their moment, Eric Allen.
Speaker 6 (04:17):
You mentioned Jared Allen.
Speaker 5 (04:20):
Of course, we have Sterling Sharp who's waited so many years,
and then the great Antonio Gate, who our buddy Achbar
was celebrating with afterwards, which I think is so cool.
Speaker 6 (04:29):
I want to give those guys their moment.
Speaker 5 (04:30):
They are all Hall of famers, they are all well deserving,
and I'm so thrilled.
Speaker 6 (04:34):
For them and their families.
Speaker 5 (04:37):
I do want to take the second though, as a
native New Yorker and as somebody who was in New
York during two different Eli Manning super Bowl victories over
Tom Brady, and just say I think Eli Manning should
have gotten in last night.
Speaker 6 (04:53):
And I know you might say, well, he will get in.
Who cares, He'll get it, and he's a Hall of Famer.
Speaker 5 (04:58):
It could it have been more perfect in New Orleans,
with his father there, with his brother there, with the
NFL honors like in his hometown. I think Eli's a
first ballot Hall of Famer. And maybe that's not the case,
and obviously it wasn't, but as somebody who covered that
team and it was in that market, it wasn't just those.
Speaker 6 (05:18):
Two super Bowl victories over Brady. If that was it,
I could argue with you guys.
Speaker 5 (05:22):
He was a consummate NFL player, a consummate Giant, played
his entire career with one team, and look how awful
the Giants have been since he left. I know they
were up and down seasons, but as we are in
the city of New Orleans, which the Mannings claim home
and have been so good to.
Speaker 6 (05:39):
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (05:40):
I thought it might have been okay to put Eli
Manning in as a first ballot Hall of Famer instead
of putting him in next year in San Francisco, which
there is no history and there's no real reverence for
much respect to the four guys who got in, but
they're allowed to have five, why not put Eli in?
Speaker 6 (05:54):
That's on the voters.
Speaker 5 (05:55):
But just like the MVP Award, the voters make their
picks and we've got to live with the results.
Speaker 6 (05:59):
But to me, Eli Manning, first ballot Hall of Famer.
Speaker 4 (06:02):
Peter, I love you, and I love when your true
fan comes out, and I love when your jersey comes out.
It has nothing to do with where they were, and
that's not what it's about, Peter. Who cares if they
were in Louisiana. I know it would have made for
a cool story. I totally get it. He will get in.
I was actually shocked, shocked that he did not get
(06:24):
in last night, And in a way, I think it's
kind of rock and roll that the voters did not
think about that stuff and they said we'll get to
him he is going to enter this hall like so
many others, but we have business first.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
I was very surprised that they did a couple things.
I don't know if you.
Speaker 4 (06:39):
Guys saw this, but Eric Allen was asked what was
the hardest part of this journey? Was it the injuries?
Was it coming out of college and establishing yourself? He said, honestly,
the whole hardest part of this journey was all of
the questions and conversation I got from Jamie Rdall on
the flight here to New Orleans.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
She would not leave me alone on the plane.
Speaker 4 (06:56):
That's the hardest thing that I went through in my
entire Hall of Fame career was that.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
But I persevere.
Speaker 4 (07:02):
Justin Jefferson goes on the stage last night for someone
like Peter and certainly me, we can't relate in any
way to Justin Jefferson, what his life is, what.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
His ability is.
Speaker 4 (07:13):
Now he does his job just wildly, wildly talented, an
alien compared to me. And yet you better believe I
related to Justin Jefferson. I to Bleeping Eye last night
when he came out on the stage and this beautiful
disaster happened.
Speaker 7 (07:29):
Go ahead, playing robins in NFL is a dream job,
but planning a position in Minnesota it means something.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
A little extra. Oh, I'm sorry.
Speaker 7 (07:44):
Because of the tradition and excellence we've got going on there.
Speaker 8 (07:53):
The prompter.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
I'm sorry, guys, but the.
Speaker 7 (08:01):
All right, that's good, right now, we're gonna start it over,
to start it over. Were gonna start it over, Clamor
Roberts even an NFL as a dream.
Speaker 4 (08:12):
Job, incredibly charming, and I want to talk about this
for three hours.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
Okay.
Speaker 4 (08:21):
So you have the coolest looking person ever who is
so charismatic, and he comes out there and he's great,
and he's so electric, and everyone's excited, and then of
course he's forced into reading the dumb teleprompter script that
someone wrote, and he goes completely mechanical, and then, for
whatever reason, after the first paragraph, no one scrolls the
prompter or the prompter.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
Freezes, and dude, we have been there. It is paralyzing.
Speaker 4 (08:45):
And the fact that he not only hung in, he
made the audience like him more and he wrote with
it justin. Dude, I have never loved you more. I
have never been more impressed with you.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
I saw you.
Speaker 4 (08:57):
Make a one handed catching buffalo on a fourth and
about thirty that no human being should ever make. This
was ten times that, looking into the frozen prompter and
just playing it off. And that's after he bumped the microphone. God,
that was so cool.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
My wife's sitting next to me.
Speaker 4 (09:12):
She's like, I love him, and I'm like, so do I, honey.
That is when he goes into the Hall of Fame.
Never mind any catch play that. Justin Jefferson, Jay Jenna gorgeous.
I love you, Jamie, you were there. What'd you think, Kyle?
Speaker 2 (09:26):
I have never wanted to run out and hand somebody
a paper script master that I wanted.
Speaker 3 (09:32):
To help Justin Jefferson in that moment.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
I am literally twenty feet away from him, and I
have my hand on the piece of paper that has it,
and I'm about to rip it out of my binder
so I could say, Justin, let me help you. You
are amazing and I love every I hate that this
is happening to you. I did approach him backstage immediately
after this moment and I was like, you good man,
or are we okay with the prompter? He goes, I
don't know how you guys do that all the time.
(09:55):
That's insane. And then we had a conversation about how
when local television people roll their own prompter. His mind
was totally blown. It was a perfect moment. Justin Jefferson,
we love you, man.
Speaker 3 (10:07):
It was awesome.
Speaker 9 (10:07):
Oh we love you. We loved everything about the honors.
This is what I took from the Honors, guys. I
was reminded of the mere fact that we, as members
of the National Football League, have an opportunity to create
a lot of change, to apply a lot of positivity
into this world. And it was reminded that from the
get go when you saw Randy Moss come on the screen,
and you know, to a lot of people, Randy is
(10:29):
this iconic figure. He's almost superhuman, but we also know
that he's battling this horrible disease. And kind of like
how Kyle related to Justin Jefferson in that little moment,
imagine how many people can relate to this icon who's
going through the same treatments. He's going through the same pains,
but to see the hope and the faith at which
(10:49):
he's he's fighting this disease and how it may have
an impact on this people to say, man, maybe I
can Moss cancer too, And then to go to the
Comeback Player of the Year award. This is one of
my favorite awards. Obviously Joe Burrow wins, but you have
guys like Damar Hamlin, like JK.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
Dobbins.
Speaker 9 (11:05):
If you don't know JK dobbins story, He's had injury
after injury after injury, and if somebody who personally, I've
had a lot of injuries in my career, I know
how it feels to be at the foot of that
mountain called Mount Rehab and looking up at the summit
and be like, man, I got to do this again.
And then for JK. Dobbins to be almost at the
summit and to have another injury but have the courage
(11:27):
to shake it off and start over again. And then
to the MVP himself, Josh Allen in his MVP speech,
we're in the same sentence that he thanks the ownership
of the bills, He thanks Slick Rick, the mailman, and
Josh Allen, And it reminded me of Tom Hardy quote
that said I was race to treat the janitor with
(11:48):
the same respect that I treat the CEO. What an
example that is for all the youth out there, all
the young people that are watching the MVP of our
league speak and to end his quote with be good,
do good, and then to wrap it all up, you
got Steve Gleason out there now, guys. I'll I was
in New Orleans for three years and I had the
honor of participating in a lot of the charitable work
(12:11):
that they.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
Did over there in New Orleans.
Speaker 9 (12:13):
And I got to see firsthand the type of impact
that one person could have on this world.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
And so what did I get from it?
Speaker 9 (12:22):
I was reminded that the realities are this, that one
day we're all going to have to hang up these cleats, right,
and as time goes by, people aren't going to remember
the catches. They're not going to remember the touchdowns, the interceptions,
the records, the wins, the losses, but they are going
to remember how they made them feel, how you made
them feel. And justin Jefferson, I know you've made so
(12:43):
many spectacular catches and highlights and things that we'll remember forever.
But you want to know what Declan and Calvin Brant
are going to remember. They're going to remember the time
that you took that picture with them in New Orleans
at the twenty twenty five probo. That's what they're going
to remember, and so I'm going to be more proud
(13:04):
as a member of the National Football League to see
the main guys represented that way and the messages that
they're pushing. So, man, I loved everything about it, and
I'm excited to see where we go from here.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
I'm ma'am matce I really really well, said Steve Gleason
went by. I was talking to Sam Darnold on the
red carpet and Steve Gleason went by us, and he's like,
that guy is an absolute legend, the impact that he has.
Josh Allen's whole tone last night was different than the player,
than person that we normally kind of get in the media.
He was thoughtful and emotional and I actually was able
to interview him a couple of minutes after he won
(13:38):
his award, and I said, your speech was amazing, and
he's like, thanks, I kind of blacked out. Did it
go okay? And he was genuinely concerned that his message
didn't come across. I said, Josh, that was great, and
then we finished our interview and he turns and he
looks around. He goes, you think I could bring my
family and my fiance up here and I go, Josh,
I think you can do anything.
Speaker 3 (13:56):
You want to tonight. Like in the NFL, now.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
Like Josh Allen is an MVP, it was a totally
different side of him last night. I really enjoyed seeing
this version of Josh Allen, and honestly, for as likable
as he was before, he kind of makes you want
to root for him and Buffalo moving forward. So at
the end of my interview, I actually said, and I
hope it's okay to speak on bath of you guys,
and said gmfb's really happy for you.
Speaker 3 (14:17):
Josh.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
He goes, thanks, love you guys, and that was it.
It was perfect, and that's what it was for an MVP,
all right.
Speaker 4 (14:26):
Jalen Hurts will attempt on Sunday to derail the dynasty,
to be the third quarterback to ever beat Patrick Mahomes
on a playoff game. And one of the ways he's
going to do it is with his temperament. We have
all said it in one way or another over the
last several months and years, even that Jalen Hurts is
incredibly cool that he does not panic, he does not
get to high, get too low, and in that market,
(14:46):
with that fan base, it's a really great, great quality.
Speaker 1 (14:49):
Specifically, yesterday, I said in.
Speaker 4 (14:52):
His press conferences, you really can't even tell if he
won or lost. He's the same guy every single time. So,
my friends, we're going to put that to a test
in a game called The Truth Hurts. The truth you're
looking for, I'm going to play you a clip from
a postgame press conference of Jalen Hurts throughout his career
the last few years.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
All you need to do is watch.
Speaker 4 (15:14):
The clip and say, that's after a win or that's
after a loss. Do it however you want. We will
do the same order every single time. You will go, Jamie, Mantai, Peter,
the Truth Hurts. Here comes clip number one. Guys, this
is right after the game. Jalen Hurts plays the Super
Bowl on Sunday. But in this clip is he speaking
(15:34):
after an Eagles win or an Eagle's loss?
Speaker 1 (15:37):
Roll it.
Speaker 10 (15:39):
Obviously we have a ton to clean up. I have
a ton to clean up. I am not executed to
the love of my standard and what that is. Yet
you know, it seems to be enough. But in terms
of the standard that I like to play to consistently,
and I'd like us to play to consistently as a team,
(16:02):
enough is never enough.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
Jamie win.
Speaker 4 (16:12):
Win, Okay, go ahead and speak, guys.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
I'll say win. Yes, I thought it was. It's for Jamie.
Speaker 6 (16:21):
Go ahead, Kyle, I'm gonna do something one better. I'm
gonna win, and I'm gonna guess which game. I'm gonna say.
Speaker 5 (16:25):
It's after the Jacksonville win when they were bowing, Sirianni,
I'm gonna say win.
Speaker 6 (16:29):
They just I mean for Lauren Jalen Hurts. But yet
I feel like they won.
Speaker 4 (16:32):
That game, all right, Peter always going for double Peter,
you were wrong, guys. It is after a win, but
it was after a kind of infamous win twenty twenty
three season. They had just beaten the Bills in overtime
to get to ten and one, and remember that's when
it kind of derailed. So he's saying, you know, we
got a lot to clean up, We got to do
(16:53):
this and this. He was probably right. So I'm gonna
say Peter is wrong. Manti and Jamie are right. Moving forward,
clip number two. Remember it always goes Jamie Mantai Peter.
Clip number two of Jalen Hurts. Does this come after
a win or after a loss?
Speaker 10 (17:11):
You know I said it earlier no man is an island.
You must draw your strength from others. I can't perform
without the other ten on the field, and same on
the other side. They need me to do my job
for them.
Speaker 8 (17:23):
To eat.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
When when.
Speaker 4 (17:31):
Win, guys, that was after a win they even Sun
seated the Vikings twenty twenty two, the first Super Bowl
season they Hurts was absolutely dominant three hundred yards and
he's sitting there saying, no man is in island, drawing
your own strengths.
Speaker 1 (17:48):
It's really mercurial.
Speaker 4 (17:49):
There's no glint in his eye, there's no smile.
Speaker 1 (17:51):
He is just locked in.
Speaker 4 (17:53):
Let's get to clip number three again, Jamie, and feel
free to give us a little bit of an analysis
or anything behind you, Jamie Mansai Peter clip number three.
Speaker 10 (18:04):
We have to intensely control the controllables, and I think
when I look at this game, there are a lot
of things that we could have controlled fundamentally in our details,
(18:26):
the little things.
Speaker 3 (18:32):
Loss. He looked at the table seven times instead of three.
Speaker 9 (18:35):
Yeah, there was a long gap in the explanation, so
I say it's a loss.
Speaker 5 (18:39):
I'm taking another guest here, guy, that's for analysis. I'm
not going to be short. Week two, they lost to Atlanta.
Remember Saquon dropped the pass. I'm gonna say that's the game,
the loss to Atlanta and the Monday Night game.
Speaker 1 (18:52):
Guys.
Speaker 4 (18:52):
This was the Monday Night game where they lost to Atlanta.
Y cus Is game winning drive dropped, Peter take a
victory lap.
Speaker 6 (19:02):
Come on, that's it, little fist popper.
Speaker 5 (19:04):
Yeah, head, that's like saq I remember the press conference,
the whole control of the uncontrollables. There was a lot
of stuff, and I remember it being there like, hey,
the Giants might have known something here, Saquon Barkley might
not be that great, and then sure enough he went
on and did what he did.
Speaker 8 (19:20):
This is all.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
Right, Peters. That's what you call just peacocky or pete cocky,
and that's what we do.
Speaker 4 (19:26):
He's just showing off for you. All right, next clip, guys.
But I wonder if Peter can nail this game too.
Is this after an Eagles win or an Eagles loss.
Speaker 10 (19:38):
I carry my scars on me everywhere I go.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
I don't forget.
Speaker 10 (19:42):
Do I waste my energy worrying about the pain of
someone else, pain of a sheet.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
No, But I truly invest my.
Speaker 10 (19:51):
Focus in me getting getting better as a team getting
better as a player, excuse me, getting better as a
quarterback and doing the things I need to do for
my team. So everybody in their opinion on deposit at
the bank.
Speaker 8 (20:07):
Gosh.
Speaker 3 (20:08):
I like his energy in that clip.
Speaker 2 (20:09):
I really badly want to say it's a win, but
I think he's trying to deceive us, and I actually.
Speaker 3 (20:13):
Think this is after a loss. He kind of seems
like annoyed.
Speaker 9 (20:16):
Yeah, he does seem a little annoyed, Jamien. It's a
little annoying that I can't figure this out. So I'm
going to say us after a win.
Speaker 5 (20:23):
Okay, I'm saying it's a win over the Steelers this
year where he didn't play great, but Saiquon Shure did.
Speaker 9 (20:28):
The other Peter goes into details. I know that I'm right,
So go ahead, go ahead, sreg. This is interesting, Peter.
It is after a win. However, it is after.
Speaker 4 (20:38):
A twenty twenty two win Eagles over Giants. They crushed
him forty eight to twenty two. Week fourteen, Taekwon was
stuffed in this game. Staikwon had twenty two yards rushing
against his future franchise was great, and I think there'd
been some talk leading up to the week, and so
he came out and dusted out the old opinion of
the sheep quote. So, guys, where are we at, score
(21:01):
wise production booth?
Speaker 1 (21:03):
What do we have? Go ahead, do we have the screw?
Speaker 4 (21:05):
What do we have?
Speaker 1 (21:07):
Nice man Jamie with three?
Speaker 4 (21:12):
So here's our moneyball, guys, this is where two points
last clip.
Speaker 8 (21:16):
Let's go.
Speaker 1 (21:17):
Is this after a win? Or is this after a
Jalen Hurts loss? Roll it?
Speaker 10 (21:24):
I know I've walked through the fire time and time again,
and in the end, it's always made me stronger and.
Speaker 1 (21:32):
The only thing that I've wanted to do.
Speaker 10 (21:35):
I've just been on this constant quest of trying to
be the best player I can be with no limits.
Speaker 6 (21:43):
Hmm.
Speaker 2 (21:44):
I think this is after the Super Bowl fifty seven loss?
Speaker 9 (21:49):
Okay, loss, no limits. There's a limit to my knowledge
of this. I'll say it's after a win kb okay,
Peter Jamie.
Speaker 6 (22:00):
I'm playing the context clues.
Speaker 5 (22:01):
Usually after the Super Bowl, they're stuck in some like
weird room with no official background.
Speaker 6 (22:05):
There's like a black curtain.
Speaker 5 (22:07):
It's like very disheveled, and there's international media screaming questions
at them. I don't think it was a super Bowl loss.
I think it was last game they played. I think
it was the NFC championship win over the Commanders.
Speaker 4 (22:18):
All right, so Peter says win and this is a
fascinating one, guys. That was when Jalen Hurts came out
to announce that he had signed a two hundred and
fifty five million So that is.
Speaker 1 (22:31):
A big win, big win.
Speaker 4 (22:33):
And he's sitting there saying nice, I've walked through the
fire time and again nothing.
Speaker 1 (22:37):
He is so locked in.
Speaker 4 (22:38):
That could have been a loss to the Falcons, that
could have been a win over the Giants. That was
announcing his contract. Peter, what did you learn from watching
these clips with Jalen Hurts as it might apply to
Sunday's game.
Speaker 5 (22:50):
As a cucumber cannot be phased, and I think at
some point Jalen Hurts gonna have to make a pass.
And I don't think he's going to be nervous, and
I don't think the moment's going to be too big.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
Beautiful, beautiful, Jamie, take us home.
Speaker 3 (23:04):
Thanks.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
We find out that Landon Dickerson buys a lawnmower when
he gets his contract extension, and Jalen Hurts looks like
that after he gets paid two hundred.
Speaker 3 (23:11):
And fifty five million dollars. It's perfect. The Eagles are playing
in another Super Bowl once again.
Speaker 4 (23:15):
Kyle.
Speaker 3 (23:15):
Really well done. This is Chris Heatherington. Everybody you know him.
He's a friend of our show.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
You know him as a former NFL player, but also
as like the coolest job ever, the creator of fat Heads.
Speaker 3 (23:24):
We love fat Heads and we love Chris Heatherington. What's
going on.
Speaker 8 (23:27):
Thank you so much for having me. I'm excited.
Speaker 3 (23:28):
It's so good to see you.
Speaker 2 (23:30):
Kyle's here because we know that you know and love
Kyle as everybody does. But Chris, you have a project
moving forward. You and your family in the last we
were just talking about this in the commercial. In the
last month or so, affected by the LA fires like
many people, where you suffered a terrible loss. But you
are here to announce something really incredible that you are
(23:50):
doing an initiative to give back to the victims of
the LA fires.
Speaker 8 (23:54):
Yeah, thanks so much. You know, it's been a rough
couple of weeks. My family, I really started to hear. Yeah,
I lost our home and really all all of our community.
So it's.
Speaker 11 (24:02):
It's been a challenging couple of weeks. But we're sided
with fath heead to you know, especially considering my family circumstances,
to really you know, create an initiative to get back right.
So we partner with two eleven LA, a local nonprofit
if I have a one C three you know, who
provides recovery services or relief services and information to people
that have been displaced in the LA wildfire. So you know,
(24:22):
we're we think it's gonna be a great partnership. We're
getting a lot of great support from the Rams, the Chargers,
and the Lakers, and so we're really very excited.
Speaker 3 (24:29):
That's amazing.
Speaker 4 (24:30):
Chris, You've had this really really cool life, and I
really mean that. You're an Ivy League guy, you have
a long, long NFL career, you have this incredible company
now in this beautiful family, and disasters like this don't
care about any of that.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
All victims they don't mind. They go right through it.
Speaker 4 (24:46):
There's no protecting yourself from this, no matter what your
life has been like.
Speaker 1 (24:50):
Would you mind Chris indulging us.
Speaker 4 (24:52):
And just give us some details about what you've been through,
because I know there's other people who could relate to it,
and certainly a lot of us who can learn from it.
Speaker 11 (24:59):
Yeah, you know, like I said earlier, it's been tough Kyle,
and really from my wife and I for the kids, right,
we got a six year old and a ten year old,
and it's really focusing on making short term decisions with
best for our family, right, not make any emotional long
term decisions. I mean, we lost our whole life, right,
Our whole life is in a house and how do
you even have a change of clothes and didn't have
time to really take anything out of there. We got
(25:21):
out of there so quickly. But you know, the thing
to emphasize, like we're safe, we have our family unit,
we are safe, we're healthy, we can replace material things.
Let's try to figure out where we want to be
in this next chapter of life. And in the short term,
you know, creating some sense of normalcy for my children,
my six and ten year old, so getting them back
in school, getting them back in sports again, and try
(25:41):
to move on, right, Like, eventually you have to move
on and accept this is our reality and we're going
to make the best of it as a family unit.
Speaker 4 (25:49):
Chris, Jamie and I both have children as well. I
have a ten year old as well and an eight
year old. How do you even begin to explain that.
You know that their room is gone and their toys
are gone, and.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
You have to keep it positive and constructive, But how
do you do that as a parent? I have no idea.
Speaker 11 (26:06):
Yeah, there's no playbook for it, right, So we're we
were kind of doing it on the fly, and it
was important for us, like I said earlier Kyle, to
really you know, use this as a moment as a
family to come together and realize what's important. You know,
how can we support people that maybe have it or
worse off than us?
Speaker 8 (26:23):
And so yeah, it's just like I said, there's no playbook.
Speaker 11 (26:26):
But again, the way I broke it down in my
head is just trying to make really good short term
decisions and then graduate to long term decisions.
Speaker 3 (26:32):
There's a lot of cool ways to describe you, Chris.
You see it on the graphic there.
Speaker 2 (26:35):
You're also a father and a husband, but this philanthropic
effort that you are now putting forward may become the
most important one and the most impactful one. So it's
really cool. Is there a social media or anything people
can go to look for for information or how to help.
Speaker 11 (26:48):
Yeah, so we're putting together some initiatives. We have some
other terrible organizations we're working with, but it'll be on
our website very soon. We're going to donate a portunate
proceeds to you know, these initiatives, and you know, two
eleven LA is really going to be a great partner
of ours.
Speaker 8 (27:01):
We're excited about that.
Speaker 3 (27:03):
Really glad to learn all about this.
Speaker 2 (27:04):
I'm really sorry to hear what happened to you and
your family and everybody that's affected. But it's awesome to
move forward and then you're going to be behind it all.
Speaker 8 (27:11):
Thank you so much. I appreciate having.
Speaker 2 (27:12):
Yep, Chris Heatherington, everybody, Kyle, your buddy, I know you
wish you'd be here to give him a hub.
Speaker 5 (27:17):
The man there he is, Yep, the undisputed greatest football
show in the history of the world.
Speaker 1 (27:26):
Good morning football, hang away, hike up. How about coming
out to sound our galler horn.
Speaker 5 (27:34):
Yeah, I've never seen the spike down.
Speaker 1 (27:38):
One of the worst I've ever seen yet. I'm not
going to father in the segment. Stop rooting for you.
Speaker 5 (27:45):
I had this deal in the early two thousands and
I wouldn't leave the house without one.
Speaker 4 (27:49):
So hot, Peter, I was hot I'll tell how hot
you were about ninety eight degrees if you were playing
in the ANC and you're reading Patrick Mahomes are your
two dads, That's what I'm talking about.
Speaker 10 (28:01):
Let's go.
Speaker 4 (28:02):
He's out there just rebuking baptize it on a Sunday.
Speaker 1 (28:06):
Yeah, he threw me out the.
Speaker 2 (28:09):
Face that I make when the four month old starts
to stir and then she puts herself back to sleep.
Speaker 1 (28:14):
Ye want some shaving dream anything?
Speaker 8 (28:19):
Oh my goodness, I'm going to the oxygen.
Speaker 9 (28:21):
Okay, so I got to run over five people to
the set.
Speaker 1 (28:25):
If only one a week. It's not given, it is earned.
Come and get it.
Speaker 3 (28:33):
And what a year it has been on GMFB. Guys,
don't stress.
Speaker 2 (28:38):
We still go year round on the off season, the combine,
the draft, the everything, but regular season GMTB hits different.
Speaker 3 (28:44):
We love it.
Speaker 2 (28:45):
Thank you guys so much for watching all those moments
and then some. But that doesn't mean it's not Super
Bowl Friday. And that doesn't mean that we don't want
to make bold prediction.
Speaker 3 (28:54):
Guys. It's time boldly proclaim one thing.
Speaker 2 (28:57):
That you absolutely know, without a shadow of a doubt,
will happen in Super Bowl fifty nine, Peter, you have
the floor.
Speaker 6 (29:04):
Well, it's been reported now, so I could say it.
Speaker 5 (29:07):
I got to a ten Chiefs practice the other day,
which was a really rare and cool experience that's not
given to many. And it was an incredible opportunity the
week of the Super Bowl to watch a team in
their final preparation with pads do their thing. And I'm
going to say this, I think DeAndre Hopkins and Kareem
Hunt both make big plays and have big days on Sunday.
(29:29):
D hop We've been waiting thirty two years old. We've
done the story all week long. Has never had the
opportunity to play for a Super Bowl. He is one
of the best wide receivers of his generation, a three
time All Pro.
Speaker 6 (29:41):
He looked great at practice.
Speaker 5 (29:43):
He's also looked really, really good since getting to Kansas City,
and he has been humble and he has been waiting
for his moment.
Speaker 6 (29:51):
Then there's Kareem Hunt, who came in.
Speaker 5 (29:53):
Twenty seventeen as a rookie and was one of the
best running.
Speaker 6 (29:57):
Backs in all of football. Had major issues.
Speaker 5 (30:00):
They got rid of him, goes to Cleveland, was out
of football altogether and was training on his own for
the last year the Chiefs. When Isaiah Pacheco goes down,
the Chiefs are sitting there wondering is it Carson Steele's
samaj p Ryan and Kareem Hunt calls Andy Reid and says,
give me one more shot.
Speaker 6 (30:18):
Coach. Kareem Hunt's been a revelation since he got there.
I think both those.
Speaker 5 (30:22):
Players, DeAndre Hopkins and Kareem Hunt have big days on
Sunday and they might be hoisting Lombardi's when it's all
said and done.
Speaker 4 (30:30):
Peter I got, Kareem Hunt is my dark horse MVP
and to that love it. You know what's going to
happen on Sunday. They're gonna get the Super Bowl MVP wrong.
I feel like they do this all the time. Now
that we're done with the Josh Versus Lamar MVP, I'm
already debating the Super Bowl MVP. I feel like this
happens often, and I feel like the vote is perfunctory
and you give it to the winning quarterback when oftentimes
(30:50):
there's much more valuable guys on that quarterback's own offense
or maybe defense, or even as we saw last time
when it was Eagles Chiefs the other side of the ball.
The MVP of the Super Bowl has happened before on
a losing team. It was Super Bowl five. It was
Chuck Howley of the Cowboys. Just open your mind. I
know these voters have to do it before the game
is over and they're totally distracted. It doesn't have to
(31:10):
be Mahomes or Hurts if they earn it, sure, but
I would love an alternative choice. A wide receiver, a
running back, a pass rusher, anybody. I would go up
and down the line if I have more time. I
think often often the most valuable player is not given
the award. I hope this year that they are, but
they probably won't be Matt Tiitao.
Speaker 9 (31:27):
Guys, you guys know how hard it is to operate
in absolutes. It is hard to say. I know this
for sure, but I got a little fun fact for
you guys.
Speaker 1 (31:34):
Okay, In twenty.
Speaker 9 (31:35):
Twenty four, the Eagles have won twelve coin tosses and
they've deferred all twelve. The Chiefs have won nine coin
tosses and they've deferred all nine. So one thing I
