Speaker 1 (00:40):
Just jinx them right now, guys, we have all kinds

Speaker 3 (00:52):
Loves everybody on the show. Monday Morning. Let's rock and roll.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
Lots to get into here we go.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
Welcome to Good Morning Football presented by Old Strapper.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
All right, we said we got a lot to get into.
We got a lot of beat jerky, and we have
a lot of good quarterbacks. We're playing in Los Angeles,
Rogers has never played in so far before. This is
the fortieth stadium he's played in his career, and he
got safety. I was wondering, like, when's the last time
Rogers got safety? He's so game aware, so savvy. No,
it was Week seventeen last year.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
I thought maybe it might.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
Have been like the first safety of his whole career.
Noe against the Bills last year, Week seventeen, five to three,
padres pirates. I love making baseball jokes about weird scores.
Ladd McConkey loved the lad loves the touchdown. Mike Tomlin
not feeling it though, twenty five to ten. This Steelers
play all the way to California to lose by two
scores and score ten points. Not ideal afterwards though, We
(01:58):
heard from.
Speaker 3 (01:58):
Jim Harbaugh and probably Mike Tomlin, but I can't see.
Let's find out you're coming right to me. The hell
they're the headset.
Speaker 4 (02:05):
Bring it on in. We know what Harball's about, we
know what Tomlin's about, we know what Kyle's about. Head
in hands. Here we go. The show has started. Second
hour of GMFY. We're just getting warmed up on a
Monday morning. Jamie, Mantai, Kyle, and.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
Isaiah like they literally couldn't have told you in your
head anymore.
Speaker 4 (02:23):
Go to Jamie, Go to Jamie. The prompter says, go.
Speaker 3 (02:25):
To Jamie, Jamie.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
There's twenty six different voices in my head. Most of
them are my own.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
I can't listen. You know that.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
I can't hear anything those people say.
Speaker 3 (02:34):
I try, but I can't. What do we got next?
Speaker 4 (02:37):
I listen to you, okay, okay, oh great, now I'm
in charge.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
I can't know if that's what bears? All right, bears
just just talk about the bear, all right. Jackson Dart
played well this season. Early on, the Giants were having
a day. They're seventeen to seven, and this play changes
the entire game. Jackson Dart's gonna fumble. He's also gonna
go down and stay down. He would not return to
the game after this, evaluated for a concussion.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
He walks off.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
That means we get Russell Wills and if it was
twenty fifteen, that'd be good.
Speaker 3 (03:06):
But fourth quarter Caleb Williams trying to be hero that
I'm ten under six to play.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
There's no way the Giants are gonna blow another one, right.
Caleb did this all day, evading sacks left and right.
The laser amazing catch by Loveland.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
Amazing.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
Remember he was the hero last year for last week
at Cincinnati.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
Look at this hands catch.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
He catches the back app of the football those giant
myth and brings in at a huge moment of the game.
Caleb was fantastic in the fourth quarter, especially, had a
lot of drops yesterday from the Bears, but fought through
it and did a lot of this longest run of
his career.
Speaker 5 (03:40):
Caleb.
Speaker 3 (03:40):
I thought he was gonna score, but he stumbles. It's
all right.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
They work a little bit of clock. This game was
electric in the fourth court. Unless you're a Giants fan.
Beautiful play design, you get Roman Doomsday, wide open touchdown,
but they're still down. They were down ten points, could
have been down more, but Da Will played a little
conservatively at the goal line. Russell Wilson just bleed the
clock a little rough. Do you know who that is, guys?
Speaker 3 (04:00):
That's CJ.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
Gartner Johnson who did that twice yesterday. He was all
over the field. The new acquisition they gotcause Dennis All's
a decoordinator bootleg. Look at Caleb, he's out the gates.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
And he scores. Standing up. The Bears take the lead.
Another fourth quarter blown lead.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
Jamis and Russell Wilson getting together. Russell has a chance
for a real magical moment, and it just definitely wasn't happening.
Speaker 3 (04:23):
It wasn't even close. Fourth and ten.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
The ball goes down, the Giants go down, Dable goes down.
Caleb huge, huge effort in the fourth quarter. These Bears
do not quit. Twenty four to twenty six and three.
And if you don't think we have the Ben Johnson
postgame locker room sound, you are not paying attention to
my friends.
Speaker 3 (04:46):
He goes from a serial killer on the sideline to
Sam Kinnison in the locker room. Take it away.
Speaker 6 (04:51):
Oh hell yeah, man, I tell you why I feel
like y'all on repeat each and every week right now?
Speaker 3 (05:02):
I mean, I got nothing new to say to you, guys.
Did you even flavor for a second? You knew exactly
we had right where we wanted.
Speaker 4 (05:13):
Oh no, you brought out of a teeria already and
it's week.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
Did coach don't do it to us. No, that just
means he coached them up and they followed the game
in because the Bear showed resiliency. They came back from
a ten point deficit in the fourth quarter. Caleb Williams
had his fourth game winning drive of the season. I say,
I'm so glad you think I'm so funny man, Timon,
What do you make of the Bears and do you
(05:37):
officially qualify them as an NFC North contender?
Speaker 7 (05:41):
I mean, how can you not qualify them as that
for their ability for multiple weeks to come back late
in the fourth quarter in the social resilience Caleb Williams,
I thought that the last two drives that they had
showed just some guts, man, That's what I That's all
I can say when when I watched him play those
last two quarters, last two drives. But let's be honest.
(06:02):
I think this was the second time and Kable it
alluded to it in the in the highlight that the
Giants lost this game like we saw it when they
played the Broncos that collapse in the fourth. But there's
just some situational awareness and calls that were very questionable
to me. I think it started off in the in
the first drive. It's fourth and two in those conditions,
(06:23):
and then you run a rollout pass at midfield like
that was the.
Speaker 3 (06:27):
First drive of the game.
Speaker 7 (06:28):
And he goes for it on fourth and two like okay,
all right whatever.
Speaker 3 (06:33):
Then in the in the in the beginning.
Speaker 7 (06:34):
Of the fourth quarter, they go for this field goal, right,
they get a penalty.
Speaker 3 (06:39):
They could have moved it to the half yard line,
but Brian Dave Bass.
Speaker 7 (06:43):
Says, now we'll just decline it and we'll take the
field goal to go up ten.
Speaker 3 (06:46):
That to me from a player's perspective.
Speaker 7 (06:50):
And Isaiah, you know this, like we're in enemy territory.
We have the opportunity to go up fourteen. Why don't
you trust this in that situation to do it? Why
don't you trust this in that situation to put the
nail in the coffin when we've been up this on game,
let's do that.
Speaker 3 (07:05):
And then this play like we saw it.
Speaker 7 (07:08):
We saw it in a Bronco game last week.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
A punter shank a ball. I don't what's what?
Speaker 7 (07:13):
What's what these punters shanking balls on unpunched. You got
one job, get the ball.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
Down the field, flip the flip the field. Yet they
shanked the.
Speaker 7 (07:20):
Ball, Caleb does what Caleb does and scores that touchdown.
So I just thought watching this game that the New
York Giants there were some situational awareness that for the
second time this year they show showed a lack of
and so that's what was the biggest concerning thing for
me about the Giants.
Speaker 8 (07:34):
Yeah, you talk about the Giants, I'm talking about the Bears.
You guys ever went to like a street fair and
I had like food from some of the vendors, Like, yeah,
you ate something. It's just like you go to the
one spoty and you eat it and you're just like,
I don't know if my stomach hurts or not, or
if that's just in my head. Yeah, it doesn't taste
quite right. I'm not sure if that was cooked all
the way through. So the rest of the day, you're
kind of just uneasy and unsure. That's where I am
with the Bears right now. I'm easy and I'm unsure.
(07:56):
I don't really know what they are. I know that
they're super talented, I know that they have a really
good coach, but their ball just hasn't been consistent. Now,
shout out to them and their win streak. They're taking
care of business, but they, in my opinion, haven't faced
the real team. So for that, for that reason alone,
I'm gonna timper my expectations. I think that this team
could hit on all cylinders once they get going. I
(08:17):
think they have a quarterback who's talented, who just really
hasn't found his stride yet. I think Romo Dunes is
absolutely hitting his stride right now. He's figured it out.
The defenses continuing to play well, but their upcoming schedule
they have to play the Vikings, the Steelers, the Eagles,
in the Packers. If you have any questions, ask to
who the Bears are. You may not know right now.
You might have the bubble guts like I do right now,
but in the next four weeks you're gonna have a
(08:38):
really good idea as to who they are.
Speaker 3 (08:41):
No doubt.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
Listen, we're gonna talk a lot of Bears over the
next month. I don't know if it's gonna be good
or bad. But the big Boys schedule has come in
eight games left, seven of them against teams that matter
and really.
Speaker 3 (08:50):
Really big games. The story of this game for the
Bears was drops.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
No team in the NFL has had as many drops
in a game this year as the Bears had yesterday,
and Caleb is.
Speaker 3 (08:59):
Just lasers all over the field.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
It drop dropped in big moments where the receivers couldn't
pick them up. He stayed in his shoes, He was composed,
and he orchestrated that fourth quarter.
Speaker 3 (09:09):
Caleb Williams was fantastic.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
At the end of this game. We have loved Drake
may we love a lot of his peers. Caleb was brilliant.
Now here's the thing with the Bears right now. You
can't say anything positive about them, be it here, being
on social media, be it on your text chain, without
every single response being like, who cares.
Speaker 3 (09:28):
Was against the Giants they sucked last weeks. It was
against the Bengals, they suck. And I kind of get it.
I totally understand.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
The schedule is coming and we'll find out they're a weird, weird,
weird team. But for right now, I see a six
and a three under a Bear's logo and I have
not seen that for a long time.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
I do have one.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
Little public service I need to perform here. I follow
a lot of Bears accounts, I get a lot of
Bears tweets aggregated and pulled together to across my timeline.
So a lot of you Bears fans and you Bear's
enthusiasts have got to chill a little bit on the
Twitter because these are real tweets from yesterday that happened
in the middle of the game, a game.
Speaker 3 (10:06):
Which they won.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
Embarrassing loss Ben Johnson, Dennis Allen, Ryan Pole's ult to blame.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
Start your mock drafts, Kevin. They won the game. They
they six and three.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
All right, Vicky baby, this falls on Ben Johnson horrible
play calling, didn't have his team ready, playforms that playfums
de't Thicky, I love you and I'll get you in
the second.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
Thicky, You're my guy. You're better than that.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
Next, they're all over here, They're all over give me
more to do it. I can't read this book but
solely on Ben Johnson, on on and on and return
blah blah blah, too long.
Speaker 3 (10:35):
Next one. These are all tweets that happened in the
game and the Bears won. And then my guy Dave
Bears about Dan Giants, their first road win and over
a year. First of all, I love Dave, I love Vicky.
They do the Bears film room pod. They're true passionate
Bears fans. So you guys in past, I would have
tweeted the same thing.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
This team is different, Thicky, This team is different, Dave.
You gotta wait until Triple Zeros before you bang out
your tweet about Ben Johnson suck today, Ben Johnson and
not have his best day.
Speaker 3 (11:05):
See what's below the screen right now.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
It says twenty four to twenty and it says six
and three different different DNA, different composure, different everything between
the Ears.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
Different different. Get used to it. It's hard. You got
a lot of scar tissue.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
Save the tweets until they're actually needed, and it won't
be for a while.
Speaker 3 (11:25):
You got it.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
Bears win like they do every single week. It's ugly,
they're heavily flawed, but they're six and three.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
Winning and closing out games is a practiced skill. Just
ask Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens. They've done it
a ton, which is why all of a sudden we
are concerned about the Ravens come running. They played the
Vikings yesterday, a Vikings team in which the Bears are
going to have to play next week. Until then, let's
see how Lamar Jackson, who normally eats up young quarterbacks
and spits them out.
Speaker 4 (11:50):
He's great against them. Which JJ McCarthy is.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
Third and one people, third and one, sure long shot
down the field, and it was a pitch and catch
to intercepted. Marlon Humphrey run it back? Why exactly, guy,
that guy from Burnsville, Okay, And and he's wondering, why
why would you run that?
Speaker 4 (12:10):
Why would you launch that? Lamar Jackson's like, let me
show you what's up. Ravens are up twelve to ten.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
Justice Hill punches this thing in for a one yard
TD Ravens take a nineteen to ten lead on that play,
this game being played in Minnesota.
Speaker 4 (12:22):
Ravens looking comfortable though. Fourth quarter.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
Now Ravens have a nineteen thirteen win. Lamar Jackson drops back,
finds one of his favorites, his good old buddy Mark Andrews,
in the back of the end zone, drops the feet
down two yard TD Ravens would converts perfect coach on
the two point conversion. Late in the fourth quarter. Viking's
still hanging around, especially if JJ McCarthy, who was doing
his best to stay alive, which he does on this play,
(12:46):
finds Jalen Naylor brings this thing all the way down.
Speaker 4 (12:51):
That's a twenty eight yard game.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
So when the goings get when the goods getting going,
keep going back to the good which is Jalen Naylor
again back of the end zone. That's not justin Jefferson,
Jalen Naylor ten yards score. Vikings try a two point version,
they would fail on it. Great catch, but they cut
the lead to twenty seven nineteen, which you're saying, there's
still a chance. With twenty one seconds to play, this
(13:13):
would have to be an eight point play. McCarthy runs
around clock, sticking down.
Speaker 4 (13:17):
They would have had time.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
It would have been a crazy play had this thing worked,
but it did not. A checkdown ish to Aaron Jones,
can't keep the ball alive. Not that he would have
been able to hail the rain this one in. Ravens
hold on to win this one twenty seven nineteen, which
is look out now three straight for the Lamar Jackson
led Baltimore Ravens.
Speaker 4 (13:38):
They started one in five this season.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
However, Kyle Hamilton, you had a young quarterback.
Speaker 4 (13:44):
To eat up and spit out.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
Does the defense feel a little relieved back for this
performance in Minnesota?
Speaker 5 (13:50):
I think that's just who we are to the core.
You know, we could be undefeated and still feel like
we have stult to do. But you know, I think
what got us not try to bring over the past.
I think partially what got us to one in five
was the fact that we came into the season maybe
thinking I'm not speaking for everybody, but we're the Baltimore Ravens.
We're gonna do this, We're gonna do that. Teams are
(14:12):
just gonna lay down and let us win games. And
that's not how it is in this league. So we
got punched them out early in the season. But now
I think we're responding well, and you know, we'll just
have that car tissue going forward when we just start
sacking wins.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
All right.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
So there is never a more defining team, I think
than right now in the Baltimore Ravens. In the lurking column.
Texans really crazy win yesterday. The Chiefs, they're always there,
but the Ravens one in five now have a four
in front of the five. All right, when you look
at this game, Ravens have to go to Minnesota.
Speaker 4 (14:41):
Get right, man'sie, what do you make them?
Speaker 3 (14:43):
Well, this is what I make of them. Guys.
Speaker 7 (14:45):
You mentioned a lot of Jalen Naylor in your highlight, Jame,
and the question is worth Justin Jefferson. With Justin Jefferson
was targeting at twelve times. He had thirty seven yards.
And that goes to the defensive dominance that the Ravens had,
you know, beginning to begin with zach Or the defensive coordinator.
They had two turnovers, could have been three. I mean,
Roquants had an amazing catch. I thought he had it.
(15:05):
They did a whole little conditioning thing as if you
got it, and then the incomplete pass. They had three
fourth down stops. The Vikings are three for fourteen on
third down. That is just insane. So again, guys, we
talked about this earlier in the year after their one
and five whatever that record was.
Speaker 3 (15:24):
Are we panicking?
Speaker 7 (15:24):
And I said that I was going to double down
that the Baltimore Ravens, We're going to win the AFC
North Why number one, when Lamar.
Speaker 3 (15:32):
Jackson comes back. It's different.
Speaker 7 (15:33):
But what is also different is that defense starts to
take shape the second half of the season. For some reason,
they started last year that defense, zach Or, they start
off slow and then they start to get to get
some trade going. So I had to give the credit
to the Baltimore Ravens defense.
Speaker 3 (15:49):
Ah, the Ravens.
Speaker 9 (15:50):
I remember about a month ago on the show, we
were talking about are the Ravens out of it? They're
going to be all the way in at the bottom
of the division. You know, Lamar Jackson's out, and I said,
just wait, just wait, and Lamar.
Speaker 3 (16:02):
Jackson is back. And what have they done? Wins?
Speaker 8 (16:04):
What do they have coming up? Well, they got out,
they got some ws on them. As far as the way,
I got to lift list it out here on the
schedule with the Browns, Jets, Bengals, Steelers, and Bengals coming up,
So that looks like five wins before they face the Patriots.
Looks like they're gonna be probably about nine to five.
These guys have not hit their stride. These guys have
not been playing good ball. But yet with Lamar Jackson,
these guys are starting to figure it out.
Speaker 3 (16:24):
And we know one thing about the playoffs.
Speaker 8 (16:26):
It's all about what teams are playing the best when
you approach the playoffs.
Speaker 3 (16:30):
So for a team that was at the bottom of.
Speaker 8 (16:32):
The division with the one to five star and now
they're creeping their way back into it. Once they hit
their stride is like a sprinter hitting that sixty meter point.
I am up and I'm running and now.
Speaker 3 (16:40):
You can't catch me.
Speaker 8 (16:41):
You're not gonna be able to catch The raveis because
these guys a gonna be hitting real soon.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
Well, now you guys know, there's nothing I like better
than a come running team. It's in the team in
December that's clearly one of the best teams in the league,
if not the best, but doesn't have a great record
for years. I feel like the Philip Rivers Chargers were
the come running team. I feel like the Joe Burrow
Bengals and some of these years fit the profile. But
to have the two time MVP be the come running
team is really exciting. I would only say the football gods.
Speaker 3 (17:08):
Work in a strange way.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
You don't see a lot of one in five teams
make the playoffs.
Speaker 3 (17:13):
Stuff happens.
Speaker 1 (17:14):
Even if you do get right, like Isaiah saying, even
if you do have a three game winning streak, you
don't know what's coming down. You have to be so
perfect the injuries, the scheduling and all that type of stuff.
I would love to see the Baltimore Ravens come tearing
down the stretch I would.
Speaker 3 (17:27):
I don't think we can.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
Just conclude all the stuff, like by the way, like
their defense was awful and.
Speaker 3 (17:32):
They just we snapped their fingers and now it's good again.
Will they regress? Was that a mirage? I don't know.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
I just know that you have to be after starting
one to five, not just good, you have to be
almost perfect because things happened down the stretch.
Speaker 3 (17:45):
Are they going to be a playoff team? I don't know.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
They're the come running team officially, but they still need
a lot of help and a lot of things to
go right.
Speaker 4 (17:50):
All right.
Speaker 2 (17:51):
We will see how that fares for the Ravens in
terms of writing the ship. And until then, Ian Rappaport
get us back on track ahead of the NFL's final
international game, which will be the Commanders in Dolphins. Sounds
like you have news from the NFL as it relates
to the Washington Commanders.
Speaker 4 (18:07):
What's going on, dude?
Speaker 10 (18:08):
Duran Payne, the standout defensive lineman for the Washington Commanders
as of right now not going to participate in that game.
He has been suspended by the NFL for punching amanas
Saint Brown.
Speaker 3 (18:21):
Watch the game last.
Speaker 10 (18:21):
Night, you could see it clearly in the background there
it is upper right. You can see the punch right
there to the head and neck area.
Speaker 3 (18:28):
Of an opponent.
Speaker 10 (18:29):
This is now made official by the NFL.
Speaker 3 (18:32):
Pain can appeal.
Speaker 10 (18:33):
Players almost always appeal, but Abbs in some sort of
appeal win.
Speaker 3 (18:37):
He is not going to participate in the.
Speaker 10 (18:39):
Game overseas is eligible to return right after that. That
situation will sort itself out over the next couple of days.
We'll have a firm and final decision after his appeal. Meanwhile,
some injury news for tonight's Kim We'll start with the
good news for the Philadelphia Eagles Saquon Bark who remember
they're coming off the by Saquon Bark had been dealing
with a groin injury. He was a full participant in
(19:02):
practice this week off.
Speaker 3 (19:03):
The injury report. Good to go, no issues there. A J.
Speaker 10 (19:07):
Brown, similar situation, has been dealing with a hamstring into
the bay. He thought maybe he would use the bide
heel up exactly what happened.
Speaker 3 (19:14):
Full participant in practice.
Speaker 10 (19:16):
Both those guys are good to go. Meanwhile, for the
Green Bay Packers, Matthew Golden's.
Speaker 3 (19:20):
Actually going the wrong way.
Speaker 10 (19:21):
Participation wise was limited then at the end of the
week was a non participant in practice.
Speaker 3 (19:27):
Generally that does not bode well for.
Speaker 10 (19:28):
A player, but we will see he's listened as questionable
if he is able to go to the package.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
All right, Rapchie, thanks so much. Moving on, we got
to look at the NFC West. Kyle likes to make
baseball jokes. When it's like three to two, this that well,
it was like an NBA score. If you looking at
the NFC West history, it was like eighty something to
twenty something. Everybody was schooling everybody on offense. Ram, Seahawks, Niners, I'm.
Speaker 3 (19:50):
Looking at you.
Speaker 2 (19:51):
We got to talk to Stafford and Darnold and much more.
Speaker 3 (19:53):
Kyle. Yeah, the Supersonic.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
We're really tuning up the Suns bus week ten game balls.
They're coming, big names, big performances. Is it poss people
that a family member of an NFL player will get
a game ball today? You will have to tune in
to find out. Don't go anywhere youre already tuned in.
What am I talking about?
Speaker 3 (20:11):
Just stay tuned in. Good morning football.
Speaker 2 (20:27):
Sam Donald's screaming in his soft mannered way, maybe consider
me for an MVP vote.
Speaker 4 (20:32):
I don't know, if only somebody on the show.
Speaker 2 (20:33):
Had that first quarter roll out, Sam Donald locks this thing.
Forty three are touchdown to Jacksonan Smith and Jigba.
Speaker 4 (20:41):
Seahawks take a touchdown lead.
Speaker 2 (20:43):
Seahawks have are two and two at home coming into
this season, four to zero on the road, they're in Lumenfield.
Speaker 4 (20:48):
A Jacoby pressent. You must create quarterback controversy.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
Wow, that will be controversial at all. Tyrese Knight force
is a fumble. DeMarcus Lawrence picks this thing up for
a thirty four yard touchdown. Now, Mike McDonald, being the
prolific defensive coach diot pastle of this by their effort,
because not long after Seahawks have twenty one nothing.
Speaker 3 (21:07):
Guys, it's the same.
Speaker 2 (21:08):
Exact play and you're not having deja bou. It's a
fully flip pop field. That's first quarter, second quarter. That
is Tyree's Night again. That is de Marcus Lawrence again,
that is Jacoby Brisset going gush darn touton how am
I supposed to fix that?
Speaker 4 (21:19):
Forty four to twenty two? The final Seahawks really good.
Speaker 1 (21:22):
Kyle, all right, two very good teams, one really good team,
one great team. It's the Rams. The Niners were gaming
this one. The Rams are too good. They have too
much firepower. This is Puoka doing the Puka thing, touchdown,
twenty two yards. He finished with five or sixty four
in a touchdown, and that's just a tip of the iceberg.
They at the Monte Adams too. Look at this catch,
(21:43):
Bam got it, touchdown. McVeagh is just fishing a barrel
right now with Stafford. It is a perfect storm of
offense Kyron Williams. Look, the Niners got twenty points, they're there,
and then the Rams offense just leans on you forty
two points on the road on Shanny Rams seven and two.
So let's have a look. Here we go, guys, NFC
(22:04):
picture right now. You're Seattle Seahawks, the one Eagles Packers
go tonight your two and three, huge game. Tampa lost
the lurking column. Maybe not as sexy as the AFC.
Speaker 3 (22:16):
Lurkings, But then look at the Bears. They were lurking
a week ago.
Speaker 1 (22:19):
Now they're in the seventh playoff spot with a lot
of divisional games coming from them, against Detroit, against green Bay,
against Minnesota TBD right now.
Speaker 3 (22:28):
But it's incredible. As good as the Rams look Jamie.
Speaker 1 (22:31):
They're only the five, but we got about to anywhere
seven eight games left to play.
Speaker 4 (22:36):
Yeah, we do. Seahawks. Rams.
Speaker 3 (22:38):
Look at that.
Speaker 2 (22:39):
They're both seven and two and they both handed NFC
West opponents yesterday an absolute blowout.
Speaker 4 (22:45):
So I ask you this man, SI, answer it with
your chest. Answer it truthfully and honestly. The more impressive
team right now to your eyes? Is it the Seahawks
or is it the Rams?
Speaker 3 (22:54):
Well, I got to go to Seahawks.
Speaker 7 (22:56):
And the reason why I got to go to Seahawks
is I expected the Rams to be good. I mean,
I had them predicted to play in the Super Bowl,
so there was an expectation from my point of view,
they were always going to be good. I did not
expect the Seahawks. So that's why I'm extremely impressed with
how the Seahawks have performed so far. You're talking about
a team that has a new OC, had a new quarterback.
Then they get rid of DK Metcalfean. You're like, what's
(23:17):
going to happen to this offense? Vote they call out
there and they ball out. Every single weekend. That defense
continues to put out points. There was a point yesterday
in the game where it was thirty five to zero.
Speaker 3 (23:26):
Like that's how dominant this team is.
Speaker 7 (23:27):
So, if I had to answer your question, Jamee, I've
always been high on the Rams. It's the Seahawks to
me that have been extremely impressive in my eyes, Yes,
and it should be.
Speaker 8 (23:36):
The Seahawks, not only because I'm from Seattle, man Tige,
but because of these guys are absolutely balling out. This
defense of Mike McDonald is absolutely insane.
Speaker 3 (23:44):
They invested in the defensive.
Speaker 8 (23:46):
Line over the previous years and it is starting to
pay off. You have the big fellows up front, Leonard Williams,
Byron Murphy, DeMarcus Lawrence, they would ahead and trading the
guy Ernest Jones. These guys are a problem. You see
it on your screen right now. They're forcing turnovers. They
have five sacks, two takeaways yesterday, both returned for touchdowns.
These guys are fifth ranked scoring defense in the league.
Speaker 3 (24:03):
These guys are for second of the league.
Speaker 8 (24:05):
They add pressure, they stop you from running and they
get up to your quarterback. And we're not even gonna
talk about the offense, but the defense balling out.
Speaker 3 (24:13):
I love the Seahawks. I have to say the Rams.
Speaker 1 (24:16):
Matthew Stafford is unconscious, unconscious throwing the football. Right now,
he has not thrown an interception in six straight games.
Speaker 3 (24:25):
Six straight games.
Speaker 1 (24:27):
Four touchdowns this week, four touchdowns last week, five touchdowns.
Speaker 3 (24:31):
The week before.
Speaker 1 (24:32):
It is a full symphony. He is conducting with Sean
McVay in his ear. He can't miss. Everything goes in.
It's like it's like he's mastered the position. I remember
years and years ago Eddie ben Hill and the legendary
late guitarist, was asked, like have you mastered the guitar?
And is there anything else you can do with those
six strings? And he said, You're never master. You're always
(24:52):
learning new things, are always evolving.
Speaker 3 (24:54):
I feel that's the way with Stafford.
Speaker 1 (24:56):
He's doing now, like as he's getting into his mid
late thirties.
Speaker 3 (24:59):
That area Like remember when Rogers went.
Speaker 1 (25:01):
Through a second prime a few years ago and he
was winning vps with like long hair and a totally
different deal than he had ten years prior. Matthew Stafford
right now is like in his third prime of his career.
He is I just this only thing I can say
is he is a three point shooter who's just shooting
and then just jogging back down the court because he
not only as he knows it's going to go in.
(25:22):
It's not even going to hit the rim. It's not
even going to move the net. It just falls down.
Rams Seahawks still play two more times. They play next
week in the late window, and they will do this again.
Speaker 3 (25:32):
I think personally, I think it is the best two.
Speaker 1 (25:35):
Teams in the NFL right now, Ram Seahawks, and then
I probably have the Patriots as the third. We'll see
the Eagles tonight, Ram Seahawks. Two best teams, same division,
wildly different quarterbacks, but still play two more times.
Speaker 2 (25:46):
To buckle up sports fans, did you the MVP voter
representative of the show just do an impromptu informal power
rank and put the Cardinal or Seahawks and the Rams
at the top two, and the Patriots are number three.
Speaker 3 (25:57):
I did it.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
I'm drunk with power or at all. I'm above the law.
They should have never given it to me.
Speaker 3 (26:03):
I have an NDP vote. Who wants to I have it.
I've only had it one year and then they'll take
it away.
Speaker 1 (26:07):
But listen, I think I don't look at the odds
and stuff like that. I think a lot of the
conversation is that Matthew Stafford is MVP. My only problem
with it, and maybe I'll end up voting for him,
is like, I don't think Matthew Stafford could possibly humanly
care less about winning the MVP. Like I'm already bored
with how bored he is with the MVP, Like he
he wants to win a second Super Bowl and be
in that really rare class and he's an instant Hall
(26:28):
of Famer if that happens. So he doesn't even want
the MVP, but we'll find out he may just have
to get it.
Speaker 2 (26:35):
We referenced last hour on GMFB the passing of former
NFL Commissioner Paul Tagliabu, and with that we bring in
our NFL network insider Judy Patista, to help remember a
man who truly changed the NFL. Judy, in a statement
that was released by the NFL, Roger Goodall, was quoted
saying that Tagliaboo's principled leadership and envision put the NFL
(26:57):
on a path to unparalleled success.
Speaker 4 (26:59):
What do you think in covering the NFL.
Speaker 2 (27:01):
For so long was Paul Tagliabu's biggest accomplished as commissioner.
Speaker 11 (27:05):
He established labor piece with the players, which had not
existed before then. There were player strikes, there were lockouts,
member replacement players. That was just a debacle for the NFL.
He recognized that the basis for the business was going
to be assuring that there would be games, and that
you needed peace with the labor union. He and Gene Upshaw,
(27:27):
the late leader of the Players Association, developed a really
strong working relationship. They got a labor deal done that
established free agency for players and created the salary cap,
and that was really the foundation for the explosion of
revenue that the league, frankly is still in the middle of.
It led to very big media contracts which he negotiated
(27:50):
that made it clear that the NFL was the dominant
sport in the United States. Those contracts dwarfed what Major
League Baseball in the NBA were getting from their contracts.
He was a big proponent of teams building their own stadiums,
sometimes with help from the league, and all of the
revenue that new stadiums generated, because he understood again that
the salary cap was linked to revenue, and so everybody
(28:13):
had a vested interest in seeing revenue rise, including the players.
Speaker 3 (28:17):
All of what we.
Speaker 11 (28:18):
Have seen in terms of the structure of the NFL
and the business of the NFL and the revenue. The
groundwork was laid with those labor deals and we still
have not had an interrupted season since then.
Speaker 1 (28:30):
Judy, I know you remember in nineteen ninety five it
was a very special, fun magical time to be an
NFL fan because there were new teams arriving, and we
have Panthers and we have Jaguars, and there's new teams
being added to the league. It's just not something that
happens now, but it was really important time. What role
did mister Taglibo have in NFL expansion.
Speaker 3 (28:48):
Yeah, he opened the door.
Speaker 11 (28:49):
He was an advocate for expansion. The league went to
thirty two teams during his time as commissioner, So if
you're a fan of the Jaguars or the Panthers, you
have him to think from that. There was actually a
lot of team movement during his tenure, not all.
Speaker 3 (29:03):
Of it was.
Speaker 11 (29:04):
Los Angeles lost both of its teams during his tenure,
and the Browns moved to Baltimore, which of course was
highly unpopular in Cleveland. But he was determined that the
Browns would go back to Cleveland, that they would get
a team again in Cleveland. He worked very hard to
make sure that happened, that the Brown's name and the
logo would stay with the city of Cleveland and the
(29:27):
Ravens could be the team in Baltimore. I think one
of the most important things that maybe people don't remember,
but after Hurricane Katrina devastated.
Speaker 4 (29:37):
New Orleans, there was a lot of.
Speaker 11 (29:39):
Rumbling among Saints' ownership about permanently relocating the team. They
were temporarily relocated because the Superdome wasn't a playable facility
at that point, but there was certainly an undercurrent of
did they want to move the team permanently out of
New Orleans. San Antonio seemed their likely destination at that point,
(29:59):
and Tagliaboo made it very clear. I can still remember
the owners meeting when he a handful of on their
owners made it very clear to Saints ownership that they
were not going to move to New Orleans. They were
not going to leave New Orleans, they would not get
approval from the league to relocate, that the team and
the league was going to actually be part of the
(30:20):
rebuilding effort in New Orleans. So there was a whole
lot of team movement during his time as Commissioner. But
to me, that might be the most impactful thing that
the league stayed in New Orleans and helped it come back.
Speaker 8 (30:33):
Judy, I had the opportunity and the pleasure of working
with Commissioner Taglabou on a number of initiatives to tackle
social justice and improve racial discrimination.
Speaker 3 (30:43):
Try to dispand.
Speaker 8 (30:44):
That how influential was the Commissioner Taglerbuu in the creation
of the Ruining Rule.
Speaker 11 (30:51):
Yeah, this was actually one of his stated goals when
he first became commissioner that he wanted greater diversity in
the coaching ranks. They wanted more Art Shells, who at
that time was the outlier as a minority head coach.
And he is the one who created the committee, the
Ownership Committee on Diversity and looking at minority hiring, and
(31:11):
that committee is what created what became known as the
Rooney Rule. Dan Rooney from the Pittsburgh Steelers was instrumental
in it, so it came to be known as the
Rooney Rule. But that was the committee that Paul Taglibu
created that gave us the Rooney Rule, which mandated that
minority coaches would be interviewed.
Speaker 3 (31:31):
For these top jobs.
Speaker 11 (31:32):
And of course we have seen that rule expand over
the years and morph over the years. Look, the league
certainly has not solved the issue of minority representation in
coaching or general manager front office roles, but it has
come a long way from where it was at the
time when Paul Taglibho first started that initiative. So he
(31:52):
was extremely influential. As you said, he was very involved
in social justice issues.
Speaker 2 (31:57):
Suity Psisa, thank you all your years covering the NFL
really helped shape us on a daylight today and remembering
the impact that Paul tag LaVoo had on the NFL
in his time as commissioner, but also in the people
that still work for the league today. Judy Batista, everybody,
thank you so much. We saw some friends in those
photos like Steve Miryucci, Mike Turrico, all of whom came
across a wonderful man who led the NFL for.
Speaker 4 (32:19):
Quite some time.
Speaker 2 (32:19):
Paul Tagliabu passes away the age of eighty four.
Speaker 3 (32:34):
Good mon. Hey. We talked about swinging, right.
Speaker 1 (32:40):
We were at halftime, we were in that sixth round, right,
and we needed everybody to keep swinging.
Speaker 3 (32:45):
Told you, guys, don't blink no matter what.
Speaker 7 (32:47):
Everybody just kept punching, kept punching, We kept doing haymakers
to finish in the fourth quarter.
Speaker 3 (32:52):
Of guys, we finished twenty six to zero in.
Speaker 4 (32:55):
The fourth quarter.
Speaker 3 (32:56):
That's how you right.
Speaker 4 (32:59):
Here, an absolute gut punch.
Speaker 2 (33:02):
If you are any opponent that, let's twenty six points
get scored on you in the fourth quarter.
Speaker 4 (33:06):
Texas hit it to the Jags. That is a divisional crime.
Speaker 2 (33:09):
Manti, speaking of the AFC South, where do you give
your game ball out?
Speaker 7 (33:14):
It's so fitting that the Migo Ryan said, don't blink,
because you don't want to blink on this game. My
game ball goes to Jonathan Taylor. What he did internationally,
He had thirty two carries, two hundred and forty four yards,
three touchdowns, but he broke a franchise record. You cannot
not have a game ball when you break a franchise record.
Speaker 3 (33:30):
He also tied Derrick.
Speaker 7 (33:32):
Henry, Adrian Peterson, and Jim Brown for the most games
with at least two hundred yards and three tuddies in
NFL history. This guy made history not only for his
franchise but in the NFL, and thus he got my
game ball.
Speaker 4 (33:46):
As you sometimes, it's so obvious.
Speaker 3 (33:48):
Got to now, I'll respect you man time. You know
what I'm saying. I respect you. I know you do.
Speaker 8 (33:52):
Bro, Jonthan Taylor. You know he did his thing. He's
been balling out. But if you don't do a dance
like this, then you can't get a game ball. My
game ball goes to Matthew Stafford doing his dance all day.
Speaker 3 (34:03):
Lawyer, watch the ship he gets hit, gets up. It
gives me the Yeah.
Speaker 8 (34:10):
Four touchdowns, zero interceptions.
Speaker 3 (34:12):
That is the dance that you do when that occurs.
Speaker 8 (34:15):
It's also the dance that you do when you're raaking
personal league in passing yards in per game passing touchdown
and when you're a first player ever in the history
of efdom in NFL to have four class passing touchdowns
and no interceptions in three straight regular season games. Matthew Stafford,
you could do the dance all day long. That's why
you get my game ball.
Speaker 4 (34:34):
Why do we never see the completion of that play?
We just see the shimmy after, Like is that all
we care about?
Speaker 8 (34:39):
You know?
Speaker 3 (34:39):
All right?
Speaker 4 (34:40):
Stafford?
Speaker 2 (34:41):
Jonathan Taylor, Matthew Stafford, I want to make sure that
we don't just go to the headline guys in the NFL.
You know what I mean, Kyle, I need some help
with my game ball. When you watch this highlight for
my game ball recipient?
Speaker 4 (34:54):
Who is the player? Can you help me out? Just
they're just gonna roll it find out?
Speaker 2 (34:58):
Yeah, you know, just just poster treatment.
Speaker 3 (35:01):
Is that de cha? I know the game that's a
look at he gone?
Speaker 2 (35:05):
Yeah, God be gone buck seventy four rushing on the ground,
good for twenty two rushes, fifty one receiving yards and
two rushing touchdowns, handing the Buffalo Bills time to run
the clock up, lead it out on Miami's largest beatdown
of the Bills since twenty eleven, which was a seventeen
point difference.
Speaker 4 (35:25):
It is incredible. Devana Chan running all over.
Speaker 2 (35:28):
He got the Dolphins do a keute thing where they
changed the stickers on their elevator doors and the building,
and Devon a Chan got the treatment.
Speaker 4 (35:34):
This week, so he also gets my game ball.
Speaker 2 (35:36):
And if I may be so bold, NFL International maker
of the posters for the games, I think it should
be the Devan a Chan game ahead of the Madrid
Dolphins Commander's game that's happening this week in Spain.
Speaker 4 (35:48):
Kyle, I know that in the world of the photoshop.
You would agree that Devana Chan should get that poster treatment.
Speaker 1 (35:53):
Yeah, we had some fun with them a few weeks
ago where Amazon just showed his face on a Thursday
night game. We're like, we don't know who that is.
Too football for a living. We know his game. It
was very well deserved. He was excellent yesterday. He's an excellent,
excellent player. But my game ball, I'm going to the
Bears and I'm going to give this one to a
Doomsday James. A Doomsday James the Dounday is Roman Doomsay's father.
He made a big deal in the Chicago media this
(36:15):
week that after the Bengals game in which everybody ate
on the offense, Roma Doomsday did not have a single reception.
Speaker 3 (36:21):
He was shut out in the forty.
Speaker 1 (36:23):
Seven point performance of the Bears offense. So, yes, so
James Dounsay makes some noise, it becomes a big story
in Chicago.
Speaker 3 (36:30):
Room. Doomsday's like, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (36:31):
That's his take, that's my Dadday was targeted on the
very first play for the Bears. He was act afterwards
when he thought of it and he said thanks.
Speaker 3 (36:39):
Dad, and everybody laughed.
Speaker 1 (36:41):
Ended up having ten targets, six catches eighty six yards
in a touchdown. It's a weird story because he was
leading the Bears and targets and receiving, and he's actually
like a top twenty five guy in the league for targets.
But Dad's will Dad, I understand it. I would probably
do the same thing at this point. Roma Donday and
more importantly, James doonsday. He pops off, kid gets the ball.
(37:02):
Oh look at this, there's Dudley to narrow. James and
Dunday retweeted this. Romadunes they should be seen at least
ten targets per game.
Speaker 3 (37:09):
This is insane. And then you get the dad retweet.
Speaker 1 (37:12):
It's hard for me to make judgment about this because
if my kid is in the NFL, it might be
doing the same thing.
Speaker 3 (37:16):
I like to think otherwise, but who knows.
Speaker 1 (37:18):
The Bears win, the kid gets the ball, the dad
gets a pat of the back.
Speaker 3 (37:21):
Game ball to all of the Adunday family.
Speaker 2 (37:23):
Sometimes the subtlety of retweeting other people's thoughts just validates
what you have in your heart and your brain and
shout out to mister A Dunsay, you're just putting out
there in the universe. You are not responsible for what
your dad reposts. Okay, these are not the thoughts of
my current employer. Do not hold them against me or them.
(37:59):
You know, some wins just hit different, you know what
I mean, Like sixty he's got to wheels.
Speaker 3 (38:03):
Yeah, well mix.
Speaker 7 (38:05):
The most is that that's the Miami Dolphins, you know
what I mean, Like not so long ago.
Speaker 3 (38:10):
There's a lot of talk about them and all that stuff.
So there's no way but to start my no way off.
Speaker 7 (38:13):
Kay, let's go back to the Ravens game where you
had three guys that are all pro and Pro bowlers
and being used for in ways that we don't usually
see them.
Speaker 3 (38:22):
Let's go to third and one. You got Mark Andrews.
Speaker 7 (38:24):
He's under center, he tosses the ball to Lamar Jackson,
and Derek Henry is out blocking. They when those two
guys make it to the Hall of Fame, Mark Andrews
has a great chance. We're not going to be known
for Lamar lining the back running back. You got Derek
Henry lead blocking. This is on third and one, and
I was like, there's no way that the Baltimore Ravens
just used their three main guys on offense to do
(38:45):
things that we ain't normally used to seeing them do.
Speaker 3 (38:47):
So that was my no way, very good, Okay, no way,
all right.
Speaker 8 (38:50):
So there's no way typically in the NFL that you
have a scoring touchdown on the defensive side of things.
Speaker 3 (38:55):
And then there's.
Speaker 8 (38:56):
Definitely no way if they're scoring touchdown happens by the
same player, right that doesn't occur like that?
Speaker 3 (39:00):
Well, actually it did.
Speaker 8 (39:02):
So there is a way because what you see right here,
see out of Seahawks coming through, get the big boom,
stripsack pool scoops and scores.
Speaker 3 (39:08):
DeMarcus Low's agent.
Speaker 8 (39:10):
Zero for the Seahawks right there, rus that thing all
the way through for a touchdown.
Speaker 3 (39:14):
But is this the same place, JAIMI, No, No, it
just looks like the same play, scoop and.
Speaker 8 (39:18):
Score, get one hand grab this times crosses the line
one more time. My goodness, I mean, there's just definitely
no way, man, t how you played defense that you can.
Speaker 3 (39:26):
Get two scoop and scores in the same day.
Speaker 1 (39:29):
I wish if I did, I probably still be playing.
Speaker 3 (39:31):
Dang that how good that is.
Speaker 4 (39:32):
That's a good one. That's a good one. Indeed, that
did have a happen twice.
Speaker 2 (39:36):
Weld On Dela we're all parents here on the show
and those at home. I hope you can relate. I
am in a very specific age of parenting with my youngest.
She is one and a half. She can't communicate super well,
but boy can she understand. So when I tell her
things like don't don't touch that remote we're in the
she just hovers her hand over it, just just for
in the spirit of just in a spirit of defiance. So, Rico, doubtle,
(39:58):
when you yourself were fined recently for your style of celebration,
when you scored again this week and for the panthers, did.
Speaker 4 (40:07):
You go for the one pump? Did you go for
the two punks? Do you dare?
Speaker 3 (40:12):
Do you get up?
Speaker 4 (40:14):
No?
Speaker 2 (40:16):
No, no, you're not gonna take my money?
Speaker 4 (40:20):
No?
Speaker 8 (40:21):
But did you see the refereato, Yeah, they're ready watch it.
Speaker 4 (40:25):
So listen. Don't touch the remote, don't touch the stove. No, no, no,
don't do it.
Speaker 2 (40:30):
Don't I don't want to get Oh you're a smart man.
Speaker 4 (40:34):
No, you're a smart man. Rico Daddle, well done, well done, sir.
Keep that money in your pocket. Rego Daddle, you're the man.
Speaker 3 (40:42):
Yeah, kind of relatable to you. Almost there, and then
it gets turned down. Well, at least he's still scored. Guys, mind,
no way is you got It's kind of a deep cut.
I'm going to the Patriots end of the first half.
Speaker 1 (40:54):
There's no way. Was this the worst quarterback sneak of
all time? Or is there more going on here? Drake
may is that.
Speaker 3 (40:58):
The goal line? All right? So here's the deal.
Speaker 1 (41:04):
Everybody including me believes that this is Mike Brabel saying, dude,
go down intentionally, Let's spin a little more clock so
we don't give the Bucks the ball back with more
time in the second quarter, Drake made's like no, no,
no vita vea blew up the sneak. I was trying
to score. Mike Brabel would not come out to it afterwards.
This was an intentionally bad kind of quarterback sneak set
(41:25):
up to fail just to spin the clock because the
Bucks had no timeouts and it worked. Rabelized this meathead reputation.
He's shedding it immediately. He is a master of clock management.
Speaker 3 (41:35):
He showed this here. Now they risked it a little
bit because they had.
Speaker 1 (41:38):
To go all the way to fourth and goal and
had to have a CoA tapped by Stefan Diggs but
I love They had the hood spot to say, just
burn first down and let him burn clock. It looked ugly,
but it really was brilliant, good mon football

He was gifted a selection.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
Of them and he won't stop wearing them as long
as they keep winning.
Speaker 3 (00:36):
Yeah, they won't stop losing. Jamie, excuse me, won't stop winning.
I haven't it and.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
Just jinx them right now, guys, we have all kinds

who loves Good Morning Fan Tai.
Speaker 3 (00:52):
Loves everybody on the show. Monday Morning. Let's rock and roll.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
Lots to get into here we go.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
Welcome to Good Morning Football presented by Old Strapper.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
All right, we said we got a lot to get into.
We got a lot of beat jerky, and we have
a lot of good quarterbacks. We're playing in Los Angeles,
Rogers has never played in so far before. This is
the fortieth stadium he's played in his career, and he
got safety. I was wondering, like, when's the last time
Rogers got safety? He's so game aware, so savvy. No,
it was Week seventeen last year.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
I thought maybe it might.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
Have been like the first safety of his whole career.
Noe against the Bills last year, Week seventeen, five to three,
padres pirates. I love making baseball jokes about weird scores.
Ladd McConkey loved the lad loves the touchdown. Mike Tomlin
not feeling it though, twenty five to ten. This Steelers
play all the way to California to lose by two
scores and score ten points. Not ideal afterwards though, We
(01:58):
heard from.
Speaker 3 (01:58):
Jim Harbaugh and probably Mike Tomlin, but I can't see.
Let's find out you're coming right to me. The hell
they're the headset.
Speaker 4 (02:05):
Bring it on in. We know what Harball's about, we
know what Tomlin's about, we know what Kyle's about. Head
in hands. Here we go. The show has started. Second
hour of GMFY. We're just getting warmed up on a
Monday morning. Jamie, Mantai, Kyle, and.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
Isaiah like they literally couldn't have told you in your
head anymore.
Speaker 4 (02:23):
Go to Jamie, Go to Jamie. The prompter says, go.
Speaker 3 (02:25):
To Jamie, Jamie.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
There's twenty six different voices in my head. Most of
them are my own.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
I can't listen. You know that.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
I can't hear anything those people say.
Speaker 3 (02:34):
I try, but I can't. What do we got next?
Speaker 4 (02:37):
I listen to you, okay, okay, oh great, now I'm
in charge.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
I can't know if that's what bears? All right, bears
just just talk about the bear, all right. Jackson Dart
played well this season. Early on, the Giants were having
a day. They're seventeen to seven, and this play changes
the entire game. Jackson Dart's gonna fumble. He's also gonna
go down and stay down. He would not return to
the game after this, evaluated for a concussion.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
He walks off.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
That means we get Russell Wills and if it was
twenty fifteen, that'd be good.
Speaker 3 (03:06):
But fourth quarter Caleb Williams trying to be hero that
I'm ten under six to play.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
There's no way the Giants are gonna blow another one, right.
Caleb did this all day, evading sacks left and right.
The laser amazing catch by Loveland.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
Amazing.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
Remember he was the hero last year for last week
at Cincinnati.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
Look at this hands catch.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
He catches the back app of the football those giant
myth and brings in at a huge moment of the game.
Caleb was fantastic in the fourth quarter, especially, had a
lot of drops yesterday from the Bears, but fought through
it and did a lot of this longest run of
his career.
Speaker 5 (03:40):
Caleb.
Speaker 3 (03:40):
I thought he was gonna score, but he stumbles. It's
all right.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
They work a little bit of clock. This game was
electric in the fourth court. Unless you're a Giants fan.
Beautiful play design, you get Roman Doomsday, wide open touchdown,
but they're still down. They were down ten points, could
have been down more, but Da Will played a little
conservatively at the goal line. Russell Wilson just bleed the
clock a little rough. Do you know who that is, guys?
Speaker 3 (04:00):
That's CJ.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
Gartner Johnson who did that twice yesterday. He was all
over the field. The new acquisition they gotcause Dennis All's
a decoordinator bootleg. Look at Caleb, he's out the gates.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
And he scores. Standing up. The Bears take the lead.
Another fourth quarter blown lead.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
Jamis and Russell Wilson getting together. Russell has a chance
for a real magical moment, and it just definitely wasn't happening.
Speaker 3 (04:23):
It wasn't even close. Fourth and ten.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
The ball goes down, the Giants go down, Dable goes down.
Caleb huge, huge effort in the fourth quarter. These Bears
do not quit. Twenty four to twenty six and three.
And if you don't think we have the Ben Johnson
postgame locker room sound, you are not paying attention to
my friends.
Speaker 3 (04:46):
He goes from a serial killer on the sideline to
Sam Kinnison in the locker room. Take it away.
Speaker 6 (04:51):
Oh hell yeah, man, I tell you why I feel
like y'all on repeat each and every week right now?
Speaker 3 (05:02):
I mean, I got nothing new to say to you, guys.
Did you even flavor for a second? You knew exactly
we had right where we wanted.
Speaker 4 (05:13):
Oh no, you brought out of a teeria already and
it's week.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
Did coach don't do it to us. No, that just
means he coached them up and they followed the game
in because the Bear showed resiliency. They came back from
a ten point deficit in the fourth quarter. Caleb Williams
had his fourth game winning drive of the season. I say,
I'm so glad you think I'm so funny man, Timon,
What do you make of the Bears and do you
(05:37):
officially qualify them as an NFC North contender?
Speaker 7 (05:41):
I mean, how can you not qualify them as that
for their ability for multiple weeks to come back late
in the fourth quarter in the social resilience Caleb Williams,
I thought that the last two drives that they had
showed just some guts, man, That's what I That's all
I can say when when I watched him play those
last two quarters, last two drives. But let's be honest.
(06:02):
I think this was the second time and Kable it
alluded to it in the in the highlight that the
Giants lost this game like we saw it when they
played the Broncos that collapse in the fourth. But there's
just some situational awareness and calls that were very questionable
to me. I think it started off in the in
the first drive. It's fourth and two in those conditions,
(06:23):
and then you run a rollout pass at midfield like
that was the.
Speaker 3 (06:27):
First drive of the game.
Speaker 7 (06:28):
And he goes for it on fourth and two like okay,
all right whatever.
Speaker 3 (06:33):
Then in the in the in the beginning.
Speaker 7 (06:34):
Of the fourth quarter, they go for this field goal, right,
they get a penalty.
Speaker 3 (06:39):
They could have moved it to the half yard line,
but Brian Dave Bass.
Speaker 7 (06:43):
Says, now we'll just decline it and we'll take the
field goal to go up ten.
Speaker 3 (06:46):
That to me from a player's perspective.
Speaker 7 (06:50):
And Isaiah, you know this, like we're in enemy territory.
We have the opportunity to go up fourteen. Why don't
you trust this in that situation to do it? Why
don't you trust this in that situation to put the
nail in the coffin when we've been up this on game,
let's do that.
Speaker 3 (07:05):
And then this play like we saw it.
Speaker 7 (07:08):
We saw it in a Bronco game last week.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
A punter shank a ball. I don't what's what?
Speaker 7 (07:13):
What's what these punters shanking balls on unpunched. You got
one job, get the ball.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
Down the field, flip the flip the field. Yet they
shanked the.
Speaker 7 (07:20):
Ball, Caleb does what Caleb does and scores that touchdown.
So I just thought watching this game that the New
York Giants there were some situational awareness that for the
second time this year they show showed a lack of
and so that's what was the biggest concerning thing for
me about the Giants.
Speaker 8 (07:34):
Yeah, you talk about the Giants, I'm talking about the Bears.
You guys ever went to like a street fair and
I had like food from some of the vendors, Like, yeah,
you ate something. It's just like you go to the
one spoty and you eat it and you're just like,
I don't know if my stomach hurts or not, or
if that's just in my head. Yeah, it doesn't taste
quite right. I'm not sure if that was cooked all
the way through. So the rest of the day, you're
kind of just uneasy and unsure. That's where I am
with the Bears right now. I'm easy and I'm unsure.
(07:56):
I don't really know what they are. I know that
they're super talented, I know that they have a really
good coach, but their ball just hasn't been consistent. Now,
shout out to them and their win streak. They're taking
care of business, but they, in my opinion, haven't faced
the real team. So for that, for that reason alone,
I'm gonna timper my expectations. I think that this team
could hit on all cylinders once they get going. I
(08:17):
think they have a quarterback who's talented, who just really
hasn't found his stride yet. I think Romo Dunes is
absolutely hitting his stride right now. He's figured it out.
The defenses continuing to play well, but their upcoming schedule
they have to play the Vikings, the Steelers, the Eagles,
in the Packers. If you have any questions, ask to
who the Bears are. You may not know right now.
You might have the bubble guts like I do right now,
but in the next four weeks you're gonna have a
(08:38):
really good idea as to who they are.
Speaker 3 (08:41):
No doubt.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
Listen, we're gonna talk a lot of Bears over the
next month. I don't know if it's gonna be good
or bad. But the big Boys schedule has come in
eight games left, seven of them against teams that matter
and really.
Speaker 3 (08:50):
Really big games. The story of this game for the
Bears was drops.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
No team in the NFL has had as many drops
in a game this year as the Bears had yesterday,
and Caleb is.
Speaker 3 (08:59):
Just lasers all over the field.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
It drop dropped in big moments where the receivers couldn't
pick them up. He stayed in his shoes, He was composed,
and he orchestrated that fourth quarter.
Speaker 3 (09:09):
Caleb Williams was fantastic.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
At the end of this game. We have loved Drake
may we love a lot of his peers. Caleb was brilliant.
Now here's the thing with the Bears right now. You
can't say anything positive about them, be it here, being
on social media, be it on your text chain, without
every single response being like, who cares.
Speaker 3 (09:28):
Was against the Giants they sucked last weeks. It was
against the Bengals, they suck. And I kind of get it.
I totally understand.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
The schedule is coming and we'll find out they're a weird, weird,
weird team. But for right now, I see a six
and a three under a Bear's logo and I have
not seen that for a long time.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
I do have one.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
Little public service I need to perform here. I follow
a lot of Bears accounts, I get a lot of
Bears tweets aggregated and pulled together to across my timeline.
So a lot of you Bears fans and you Bear's
enthusiasts have got to chill a little bit on the
Twitter because these are real tweets from yesterday that happened
in the middle of the game, a game.
Speaker 3 (10:06):
Which they won.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
Embarrassing loss Ben Johnson, Dennis Allen, Ryan Pole's ult to blame.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
Start your mock drafts, Kevin. They won the game. They
they six and three.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
All right, Vicky baby, this falls on Ben Johnson horrible
play calling, didn't have his team ready, playforms that playfums
de't Thicky, I love you and I'll get you in
the second.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
Thicky, You're my guy. You're better than that.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
Next, they're all over here, They're all over give me
more to do it. I can't read this book but
solely on Ben Johnson, on on and on and return
blah blah blah, too long.
Speaker 3 (10:35):
Next one. These are all tweets that happened in the
game and the Bears won. And then my guy Dave
Bears about Dan Giants, their first road win and over
a year. First of all, I love Dave, I love Vicky.
They do the Bears film room pod. They're true passionate
Bears fans. So you guys in past, I would have
tweeted the same thing.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
This team is different, Thicky, This team is different, Dave.
You gotta wait until Triple Zeros before you bang out
your tweet about Ben Johnson suck today, Ben Johnson and
not have his best day.
Speaker 3 (11:05):
See what's below the screen right now.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
It says twenty four to twenty and it says six
and three different different DNA, different composure, different everything between
the Ears.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
Different different. Get used to it. It's hard. You got
a lot of scar tissue.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
Save the tweets until they're actually needed, and it won't
be for a while.
Speaker 3 (11:25):
You got it.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
Bears win like they do every single week. It's ugly,
they're heavily flawed, but they're six and three.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
Winning and closing out games is a practiced skill. Just
ask Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens. They've done it
a ton, which is why all of a sudden we
are concerned about the Ravens come running. They played the
Vikings yesterday, a Vikings team in which the Bears are
going to have to play next week. Until then, let's
see how Lamar Jackson, who normally eats up young quarterbacks
and spits them out.
Speaker 4 (11:50):
He's great against them. Which JJ McCarthy is.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
Third and one people, third and one, sure long shot
down the field, and it was a pitch and catch
to intercepted. Marlon Humphrey run it back? Why exactly, guy,
that guy from Burnsville, Okay, And and he's wondering, why
why would you run that?
Speaker 4 (12:10):
Why would you launch that? Lamar Jackson's like, let me
show you what's up. Ravens are up twelve to ten.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
Justice Hill punches this thing in for a one yard
TD Ravens take a nineteen to ten lead on that play,
this game being played in Minnesota.
Speaker 4 (12:22):
Ravens looking comfortable though. Fourth quarter.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
Now Ravens have a nineteen thirteen win. Lamar Jackson drops back,
finds one of his favorites, his good old buddy Mark Andrews,
in the back of the end zone, drops the feet
down two yard TD Ravens would converts perfect coach on
the two point conversion. Late in the fourth quarter. Viking's
still hanging around, especially if JJ McCarthy, who was doing
his best to stay alive, which he does on this play,
(12:46):
finds Jalen Naylor brings this thing all the way down.
Speaker 4 (12:51):
That's a twenty eight yard game.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
So when the goings get when the goods getting going,
keep going back to the good which is Jalen Naylor
again back of the end zone. That's not justin Jefferson,
Jalen Naylor ten yards score. Vikings try a two point version,
they would fail on it. Great catch, but they cut
the lead to twenty seven nineteen, which you're saying, there's
still a chance. With twenty one seconds to play, this
(13:13):
would have to be an eight point play. McCarthy runs
around clock, sticking down.
Speaker 4 (13:17):
They would have had time.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
It would have been a crazy play had this thing worked,
but it did not. A checkdown ish to Aaron Jones,
can't keep the ball alive. Not that he would have
been able to hail the rain this one in. Ravens
hold on to win this one twenty seven nineteen, which
is look out now three straight for the Lamar Jackson
led Baltimore Ravens.
Speaker 4 (13:38):
They started one in five this season.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
However, Kyle Hamilton, you had a young quarterback.
Speaker 4 (13:44):
To eat up and spit out.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
Does the defense feel a little relieved back for this
performance in Minnesota?
Speaker 5 (13:50):
I think that's just who we are to the core.
You know, we could be undefeated and still feel like
we have stult to do. But you know, I think
what got us not try to bring over the past.
I think partially what got us to one in five
was the fact that we came into the season maybe
thinking I'm not speaking for everybody, but we're the Baltimore Ravens.
We're gonna do this, We're gonna do that. Teams are
(14:12):
just gonna lay down and let us win games. And
that's not how it is in this league. So we
got punched them out early in the season. But now
I think we're responding well, and you know, we'll just
have that car tissue going forward when we just start
sacking wins.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
All right.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
So there is never a more defining team, I think
than right now in the Baltimore Ravens. In the lurking column.
Texans really crazy win yesterday. The Chiefs, they're always there,
but the Ravens one in five now have a four
in front of the five. All right, when you look
at this game, Ravens have to go to Minnesota.
Speaker 4 (14:41):
Get right, man'sie, what do you make them?
Speaker 3 (14:43):
Well, this is what I make of them. Guys.
Speaker 7 (14:45):
You mentioned a lot of Jalen Naylor in your highlight, Jame,
and the question is worth Justin Jefferson. With Justin Jefferson
was targeting at twelve times. He had thirty seven yards.
And that goes to the defensive dominance that the Ravens had,
you know, beginning to begin with zach Or the defensive coordinator.
They had two turnovers, could have been three. I mean,
Roquants had an amazing catch. I thought he had it.
(15:05):
They did a whole little conditioning thing as if you
got it, and then the incomplete pass. They had three
fourth down stops. The Vikings are three for fourteen on
third down. That is just insane. So again, guys, we
talked about this earlier in the year after their one
and five whatever that record was.
Speaker 3 (15:24):
Are we panicking?
Speaker 7 (15:24):
And I said that I was going to double down
that the Baltimore Ravens, We're going to win the AFC
North Why number one, when Lamar.
Speaker 3 (15:32):
Jackson comes back. It's different.
Speaker 7 (15:33):
But what is also different is that defense starts to
take shape the second half of the season. For some reason,
they started last year that defense, zach Or, they start
off slow and then they start to get to get
some trade going. So I had to give the credit
to the Baltimore Ravens defense.
Speaker 3 (15:49):
Ah, the Ravens.
Speaker 9 (15:50):
I remember about a month ago on the show, we
were talking about are the Ravens out of it? They're
going to be all the way in at the bottom
of the division. You know, Lamar Jackson's out, and I said,
just wait, just wait, and Lamar.
Speaker 3 (16:02):
Jackson is back. And what have they done? Wins?
Speaker 8 (16:04):
What do they have coming up? Well, they got out,
they got some ws on them. As far as the way,
I got to lift list it out here on the
schedule with the Browns, Jets, Bengals, Steelers, and Bengals coming up,
So that looks like five wins before they face the Patriots.
Looks like they're gonna be probably about nine to five.
These guys have not hit their stride. These guys have
not been playing good ball. But yet with Lamar Jackson,
these guys are starting to figure it out.
Speaker 3 (16:24):
And we know one thing about the playoffs.
Speaker 8 (16:26):
It's all about what teams are playing the best when
you approach the playoffs.
Speaker 3 (16:30):
So for a team that was at the bottom of.
Speaker 8 (16:32):
The division with the one to five star and now
they're creeping their way back into it. Once they hit
their stride is like a sprinter hitting that sixty meter point.
I am up and I'm running and now.
Speaker 3 (16:40):
You can't catch me.
Speaker 8 (16:41):
You're not gonna be able to catch The raveis because
these guys a gonna be hitting real soon.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
Well, now you guys know, there's nothing I like better
than a come running team. It's in the team in
December that's clearly one of the best teams in the league,
if not the best, but doesn't have a great record
for years. I feel like the Philip Rivers Chargers were
the come running team. I feel like the Joe Burrow
Bengals and some of these years fit the profile. But
to have the two time MVP be the come running
team is really exciting. I would only say the football gods.
Speaker 3 (17:08):
Work in a strange way.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
You don't see a lot of one in five teams
make the playoffs.
Speaker 3 (17:13):
Stuff happens.
Speaker 1 (17:14):
Even if you do get right, like Isaiah saying, even
if you do have a three game winning streak, you
don't know what's coming down. You have to be so
perfect the injuries, the scheduling and all that type of stuff.
I would love to see the Baltimore Ravens come tearing
down the stretch I would.
Speaker 3 (17:27):
I don't think we can.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
Just conclude all the stuff, like by the way, like
their defense was awful and.
Speaker 3 (17:32):
They just we snapped their fingers and now it's good again.
Will they regress? Was that a mirage? I don't know.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
I just know that you have to be after starting
one to five, not just good, you have to be
almost perfect because things happened down the stretch.
Speaker 3 (17:45):
Are they going to be a playoff team? I don't know.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
They're the come running team officially, but they still need
a lot of help and a lot of things to
go right.
Speaker 4 (17:50):
All right.
Speaker 2 (17:51):
We will see how that fares for the Ravens in
terms of writing the ship. And until then, Ian Rappaport
get us back on track ahead of the NFL's final
international game, which will be the Commanders in Dolphins. Sounds
like you have news from the NFL as it relates
to the Washington Commanders.
Speaker 4 (18:07):
What's going on, dude?
Speaker 10 (18:08):
Duran Payne, the standout defensive lineman for the Washington Commanders
as of right now not going to participate in that game.
He has been suspended by the NFL for punching amanas
Saint Brown.
Speaker 3 (18:21):
Watch the game last.
Speaker 10 (18:21):
Night, you could see it clearly in the background there
it is upper right. You can see the punch right
there to the head and neck area.
Speaker 3 (18:28):
Of an opponent.
Speaker 10 (18:29):
This is now made official by the NFL.
Speaker 3 (18:32):
Pain can appeal.
Speaker 10 (18:33):
Players almost always appeal, but Abbs in some sort of
appeal win.
Speaker 3 (18:37):
He is not going to participate in the.
Speaker 10 (18:39):
Game overseas is eligible to return right after that. That
situation will sort itself out over the next couple of days.
We'll have a firm and final decision after his appeal. Meanwhile,
some injury news for tonight's Kim We'll start with the
good news for the Philadelphia Eagles Saquon Bark who remember
they're coming off the by Saquon Bark had been dealing
with a groin injury. He was a full participant in
(19:02):
practice this week off.
Speaker 3 (19:03):
The injury report. Good to go, no issues there. A J.
Speaker 10 (19:07):
Brown, similar situation, has been dealing with a hamstring into
the bay. He thought maybe he would use the bide
heel up exactly what happened.
Speaker 3 (19:14):
Full participant in practice.
Speaker 10 (19:16):
Both those guys are good to go. Meanwhile, for the
Green Bay Packers, Matthew Golden's.
Speaker 3 (19:20):
Actually going the wrong way.
Speaker 10 (19:21):
Participation wise was limited then at the end of the
week was a non participant in practice.
Speaker 3 (19:27):
Generally that does not bode well for.
Speaker 10 (19:28):
A player, but we will see he's listened as questionable
if he is able to go to the package.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
All right, Rapchie, thanks so much. Moving on, we got
to look at the NFC West. Kyle likes to make
baseball jokes. When it's like three to two, this that well,
it was like an NBA score. If you looking at
the NFC West history, it was like eighty something to
twenty something. Everybody was schooling everybody on offense. Ram, Seahawks, Niners, I'm.
Speaker 3 (19:50):
Looking at you.
Speaker 2 (19:51):
We got to talk to Stafford and Darnold and much more.
Speaker 3 (19:53):
Kyle. Yeah, the Supersonic.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
We're really tuning up the Suns bus week ten game balls.
They're coming, big names, big performances. Is it poss people
that a family member of an NFL player will get
a game ball today? You will have to tune in
to find out. Don't go anywhere youre already tuned in.
What am I talking about?
Speaker 3 (20:11):
Just stay tuned in. Good morning football.
Speaker 2 (20:27):
Sam Donald's screaming in his soft mannered way, maybe consider
me for an MVP vote.
Speaker 4 (20:32):
I don't know, if only somebody on the show.
Speaker 2 (20:33):
Had that first quarter roll out, Sam Donald locks this thing.
Forty three are touchdown to Jacksonan Smith and Jigba.
Speaker 4 (20:41):
Seahawks take a touchdown lead.
Speaker 2 (20:43):
Seahawks have are two and two at home coming into
this season, four to zero on the road, they're in Lumenfield.
Speaker 4 (20:48):
A Jacoby pressent. You must create quarterback controversy.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
Wow, that will be controversial at all. Tyrese Knight force
is a fumble. DeMarcus Lawrence picks this thing up for
a thirty four yard touchdown. Now, Mike McDonald, being the
prolific defensive coach diot pastle of this by their effort,
because not long after Seahawks have twenty one nothing.
Speaker 3 (21:07):
Guys, it's the same.
Speaker 2 (21:08):
Exact play and you're not having deja bou. It's a
fully flip pop field. That's first quarter, second quarter. That
is Tyree's Night again. That is de Marcus Lawrence again,
that is Jacoby Brisset going gush darn touton how am
I supposed to fix that?
Speaker 4 (21:19):
Forty four to twenty two? The final Seahawks really good.
Speaker 1 (21:22):
Kyle, all right, two very good teams, one really good team,
one great team. It's the Rams. The Niners were gaming
this one. The Rams are too good. They have too
much firepower. This is Puoka doing the Puka thing, touchdown,
twenty two yards. He finished with five or sixty four
in a touchdown, and that's just a tip of the iceberg.
They at the Monte Adams too. Look at this catch,
(21:43):
Bam got it, touchdown. McVeagh is just fishing a barrel
right now with Stafford. It is a perfect storm of
offense Kyron Williams. Look, the Niners got twenty points, they're there,
and then the Rams offense just leans on you forty
two points on the road on Shanny Rams seven and two.
So let's have a look. Here we go, guys, NFC
(22:04):
picture right now. You're Seattle Seahawks, the one Eagles Packers
go tonight your two and three, huge game. Tampa lost
the lurking column. Maybe not as sexy as the AFC.
Speaker 3 (22:16):
Lurkings, But then look at the Bears. They were lurking
a week ago.
Speaker 1 (22:19):
Now they're in the seventh playoff spot with a lot
of divisional games coming from them, against Detroit, against green Bay,
against Minnesota TBD right now.
Speaker 3 (22:28):
But it's incredible. As good as the Rams look Jamie.
Speaker 1 (22:31):
They're only the five, but we got about to anywhere
seven eight games left to play.
Speaker 4 (22:36):
Yeah, we do. Seahawks. Rams.
Speaker 3 (22:38):
Look at that.
Speaker 2 (22:39):
They're both seven and two and they both handed NFC
West opponents yesterday an absolute blowout.
Speaker 4 (22:45):
So I ask you this man, SI, answer it with
your chest. Answer it truthfully and honestly. The more impressive
team right now to your eyes? Is it the Seahawks
or is it the Rams?
Speaker 3 (22:54):
Well, I got to go to Seahawks.
Speaker 7 (22:56):
And the reason why I got to go to Seahawks
is I expected the Rams to be good. I mean,
I had them predicted to play in the Super Bowl,
so there was an expectation from my point of view,
they were always going to be good. I did not
expect the Seahawks. So that's why I'm extremely impressed with
how the Seahawks have performed so far. You're talking about
a team that has a new OC, had a new quarterback.
Then they get rid of DK Metcalfean. You're like, what's
(23:17):
going to happen to this offense? Vote they call out
there and they ball out. Every single weekend. That defense
continues to put out points. There was a point yesterday
in the game where it was thirty five to zero.
Speaker 3 (23:26):
Like that's how dominant this team is.
Speaker 7 (23:27):
So, if I had to answer your question, Jamee, I've
always been high on the Rams. It's the Seahawks to
me that have been extremely impressive in my eyes, Yes,
and it should be.
Speaker 8 (23:36):
The Seahawks, not only because I'm from Seattle, man Tige,
but because of these guys are absolutely balling out. This
defense of Mike McDonald is absolutely insane.
Speaker 3 (23:44):
They invested in the defensive.
Speaker 8 (23:46):
Line over the previous years and it is starting to
pay off. You have the big fellows up front, Leonard Williams,
Byron Murphy, DeMarcus Lawrence, they would ahead and trading the
guy Ernest Jones. These guys are a problem. You see
it on your screen right now. They're forcing turnovers. They
have five sacks, two takeaways yesterday, both returned for touchdowns.
These guys are fifth ranked scoring defense in the league.
Speaker 3 (24:03):
These guys are for second of the league.
Speaker 8 (24:05):
They add pressure, they stop you from running and they
get up to your quarterback. And we're not even gonna
talk about the offense, but the defense balling out.
Speaker 3 (24:13):
I love the Seahawks. I have to say the Rams.
Speaker 1 (24:16):
Matthew Stafford is unconscious, unconscious throwing the football. Right now,
he has not thrown an interception in six straight games.
Speaker 3 (24:25):
Six straight games.
Speaker 1 (24:27):
Four touchdowns this week, four touchdowns last week, five touchdowns.
Speaker 3 (24:31):
The week before.
Speaker 1 (24:32):
It is a full symphony. He is conducting with Sean
McVay in his ear. He can't miss. Everything goes in.
It's like it's like he's mastered the position. I remember
years and years ago Eddie ben Hill and the legendary
late guitarist, was asked, like have you mastered the guitar?
And is there anything else you can do with those
six strings? And he said, You're never master. You're always
(24:52):
learning new things, are always evolving.
Speaker 3 (24:54):
I feel that's the way with Stafford.
Speaker 1 (24:56):
He's doing now, like as he's getting into his mid
late thirties.
Speaker 3 (24:59):
That area Like remember when Rogers went.
Speaker 1 (25:01):
Through a second prime a few years ago and he
was winning vps with like long hair and a totally
different deal than he had ten years prior. Matthew Stafford
right now is like in his third prime of his career.
He is I just this only thing I can say
is he is a three point shooter who's just shooting
and then just jogging back down the court because he
not only as he knows it's going to go in.
(25:22):
It's not even going to hit the rim. It's not
even going to move the net. It just falls down.
Rams Seahawks still play two more times. They play next
week in the late window, and they will do this again.
Speaker 3 (25:32):
I think personally, I think it is the best two.
Speaker 1 (25:35):
Teams in the NFL right now, Ram Seahawks, and then
I probably have the Patriots as the third. We'll see
the Eagles tonight, Ram Seahawks. Two best teams, same division,
wildly different quarterbacks, but still play two more times.
Speaker 2 (25:46):
To buckle up sports fans, did you the MVP voter
representative of the show just do an impromptu informal power
rank and put the Cardinal or Seahawks and the Rams
at the top two, and the Patriots are number three.
Speaker 3 (25:57):
I did it.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
I'm drunk with power or at all. I'm above the law.
They should have never given it to me.
Speaker 3 (26:03):
I have an NDP vote. Who wants to I have it.
I've only had it one year and then they'll take
it away.
Speaker 1 (26:07):
But listen, I think I don't look at the odds
and stuff like that. I think a lot of the
conversation is that Matthew Stafford is MVP. My only problem
with it, and maybe I'll end up voting for him,
is like, I don't think Matthew Stafford could possibly humanly
care less about winning the MVP. Like I'm already bored
with how bored he is with the MVP, Like he
he wants to win a second Super Bowl and be
in that really rare class and he's an instant Hall
(26:28):
of Famer if that happens. So he doesn't even want
the MVP, but we'll find out he may just have
to get it.
Speaker 2 (26:35):
We referenced last hour on GMFB the passing of former
NFL Commissioner Paul Tagliabu, and with that we bring in
our NFL network insider Judy Patista, to help remember a
man who truly changed the NFL. Judy, in a statement
that was released by the NFL, Roger Goodall, was quoted
saying that Tagliaboo's principled leadership and envision put the NFL
(26:57):
on a path to unparalleled success.
Speaker 4 (26:59):
What do you think in covering the NFL.
Speaker 2 (27:01):
For so long was Paul Tagliabu's biggest accomplished as commissioner.
Speaker 11 (27:05):
He established labor piece with the players, which had not
existed before then. There were player strikes, there were lockouts,
member replacement players. That was just a debacle for the NFL.
He recognized that the basis for the business was going
to be assuring that there would be games, and that
you needed peace with the labor union. He and Gene Upshaw,
(27:27):
the late leader of the Players Association, developed a really
strong working relationship. They got a labor deal done that
established free agency for players and created the salary cap,
and that was really the foundation for the explosion of
revenue that the league, frankly is still in the middle of.
It led to very big media contracts which he negotiated
(27:50):
that made it clear that the NFL was the dominant
sport in the United States. Those contracts dwarfed what Major
League Baseball in the NBA were getting from their contracts.
He was a big proponent of teams building their own stadiums,
sometimes with help from the league, and all of the
revenue that new stadiums generated, because he understood again that
the salary cap was linked to revenue, and so everybody
(28:13):
had a vested interest in seeing revenue rise, including the players.
Speaker 3 (28:17):
All of what we.
Speaker 11 (28:18):
Have seen in terms of the structure of the NFL
and the business of the NFL and the revenue. The
groundwork was laid with those labor deals and we still
have not had an interrupted season since then.
Speaker 1 (28:30):
Judy, I know you remember in nineteen ninety five it
was a very special, fun magical time to be an
NFL fan because there were new teams arriving, and we
have Panthers and we have Jaguars, and there's new teams
being added to the league. It's just not something that
happens now, but it was really important time. What role
did mister Taglibo have in NFL expansion.
Speaker 3 (28:48):
Yeah, he opened the door.
Speaker 11 (28:49):
He was an advocate for expansion. The league went to
thirty two teams during his time as commissioner, So if
you're a fan of the Jaguars or the Panthers, you
have him to think from that. There was actually a
lot of team movement during his tenure, not all.
Speaker 3 (29:03):
Of it was.
Speaker 11 (29:04):
Los Angeles lost both of its teams during his tenure,
and the Browns moved to Baltimore, which of course was
highly unpopular in Cleveland. But he was determined that the
Browns would go back to Cleveland, that they would get
a team again in Cleveland. He worked very hard to
make sure that happened, that the Brown's name and the
logo would stay with the city of Cleveland and the
(29:27):
Ravens could be the team in Baltimore. I think one
of the most important things that maybe people don't remember,
but after Hurricane Katrina devastated.
Speaker 4 (29:37):
New Orleans, there was a lot of.
Speaker 11 (29:39):
Rumbling among Saints' ownership about permanently relocating the team. They
were temporarily relocated because the Superdome wasn't a playable facility
at that point, but there was certainly an undercurrent of
did they want to move the team permanently out of
New Orleans. San Antonio seemed their likely destination at that point,
(29:59):
and Tagliaboo made it very clear. I can still remember
the owners meeting when he a handful of on their
owners made it very clear to Saints ownership that they
were not going to move to New Orleans. They were
not going to leave New Orleans, they would not get
approval from the league to relocate, that the team and
the league was going to actually be part of the
(30:20):
rebuilding effort in New Orleans. So there was a whole
lot of team movement during his time as Commissioner. But
to me, that might be the most impactful thing that
the league stayed in New Orleans and helped it come back.
Speaker 8 (30:33):
Judy, I had the opportunity and the pleasure of working
with Commissioner Taglabou on a number of initiatives to tackle
social justice and improve racial discrimination.
Speaker 3 (30:43):
Try to dispand.
Speaker 8 (30:44):
That how influential was the Commissioner Taglerbuu in the creation
of the Ruining Rule.
Speaker 11 (30:51):
Yeah, this was actually one of his stated goals when
he first became commissioner that he wanted greater diversity in
the coaching ranks. They wanted more Art Shells, who at
that time was the outlier as a minority head coach.
And he is the one who created the committee, the
Ownership Committee on Diversity and looking at minority hiring, and
(31:11):
that committee is what created what became known as the
Rooney Rule. Dan Rooney from the Pittsburgh Steelers was instrumental
in it, so it came to be known as the
Rooney Rule. But that was the committee that Paul Taglibu
created that gave us the Rooney Rule, which mandated that
minority coaches would be interviewed.
Speaker 3 (31:31):
For these top jobs.
Speaker 11 (31:32):
And of course we have seen that rule expand over
the years and morph over the years. Look, the league
certainly has not solved the issue of minority representation in
coaching or general manager front office roles, but it has
come a long way from where it was at the
time when Paul Taglibho first started that initiative. So he
(31:52):
was extremely influential. As you said, he was very involved
in social justice issues.
Speaker 2 (31:57):
Suity Psisa, thank you all your years covering the NFL
really helped shape us on a daylight today and remembering
the impact that Paul tag LaVoo had on the NFL
in his time as commissioner, but also in the people
that still work for the league today. Judy Batista, everybody,
thank you so much. We saw some friends in those
photos like Steve Miryucci, Mike Turrico, all of whom came
across a wonderful man who led the NFL for.
Speaker 4 (32:19):
Quite some time.
Speaker 2 (32:19):
Paul Tagliabu passes away the age of eighty four.
Speaker 3 (32:34):
Good mon. Hey. We talked about swinging, right.
Speaker 1 (32:40):
We were at halftime, we were in that sixth round, right,
and we needed everybody to keep swinging.
Speaker 3 (32:45):
Told you, guys, don't blink no matter what.
Speaker 7 (32:47):
Everybody just kept punching, kept punching, We kept doing haymakers
to finish in the fourth quarter.
Speaker 3 (32:52):
Of guys, we finished twenty six to zero in.
Speaker 4 (32:55):
The fourth quarter.
Speaker 3 (32:56):
That's how you right.
Speaker 4 (32:59):
Here, an absolute gut punch.
Speaker 2 (33:02):
If you are any opponent that, let's twenty six points
get scored on you in the fourth quarter.
Speaker 4 (33:06):
Texas hit it to the Jags. That is a divisional crime.
Speaker 2 (33:09):
Manti, speaking of the AFC South, where do you give
your game ball out?
Speaker 7 (33:14):
It's so fitting that the Migo Ryan said, don't blink,
because you don't want to blink on this game. My
game ball goes to Jonathan Taylor. What he did internationally,
He had thirty two carries, two hundred and forty four yards,
three touchdowns, but he broke a franchise record. You cannot
not have a game ball when you break a franchise record.
Speaker 3 (33:30):
He also tied Derrick.
Speaker 7 (33:32):
Henry, Adrian Peterson, and Jim Brown for the most games
with at least two hundred yards and three tuddies in
NFL history. This guy made history not only for his
franchise but in the NFL, and thus he got my
game ball.
Speaker 4 (33:46):
As you sometimes, it's so obvious.
Speaker 3 (33:48):
Got to now, I'll respect you man time. You know
what I'm saying. I respect you. I know you do.
Speaker 8 (33:52):
Bro, Jonthan Taylor. You know he did his thing. He's
been balling out. But if you don't do a dance
like this, then you can't get a game ball. My
game ball goes to Matthew Stafford doing his dance all day.
Speaker 3 (34:03):
Lawyer, watch the ship he gets hit, gets up. It
gives me the Yeah.
Speaker 8 (34:10):
Four touchdowns, zero interceptions.
Speaker 3 (34:12):
That is the dance that you do when that occurs.
Speaker 8 (34:15):
It's also the dance that you do when you're raaking
personal league in passing yards in per game passing touchdown
and when you're a first player ever in the history
of efdom in NFL to have four class passing touchdowns
and no interceptions in three straight regular season games. Matthew Stafford,
you could do the dance all day long. That's why
you get my game ball.
Speaker 4 (34:34):
Why do we never see the completion of that play?
We just see the shimmy after, Like is that all
we care about?
Speaker 8 (34:39):
You know?
Speaker 3 (34:39):
All right?
Speaker 4 (34:40):
Stafford?
Speaker 2 (34:41):
Jonathan Taylor, Matthew Stafford, I want to make sure that
we don't just go to the headline guys in the NFL.
You know what I mean, Kyle, I need some help
with my game ball. When you watch this highlight for
my game ball recipient?
Speaker 4 (34:54):
Who is the player? Can you help me out? Just
they're just gonna roll it find out?
Speaker 2 (34:58):
Yeah, you know, just just poster treatment.
Speaker 3 (35:01):
Is that de cha? I know the game that's a
look at he gone?
Speaker 2 (35:05):
Yeah, God be gone buck seventy four rushing on the ground,
good for twenty two rushes, fifty one receiving yards and
two rushing touchdowns, handing the Buffalo Bills time to run
the clock up, lead it out on Miami's largest beatdown
of the Bills since twenty eleven, which was a seventeen
point difference.
Speaker 4 (35:25):
It is incredible. Devana Chan running all over.
Speaker 2 (35:28):
He got the Dolphins do a keute thing where they
changed the stickers on their elevator doors and the building,
and Devon a Chan got the treatment.
Speaker 4 (35:34):
This week, so he also gets my game ball.
Speaker 2 (35:36):
And if I may be so bold, NFL International maker
of the posters for the games, I think it should
be the Devan a Chan game ahead of the Madrid
Dolphins Commander's game that's happening this week in Spain.
Speaker 4 (35:48):
Kyle, I know that in the world of the photoshop.
You would agree that Devana Chan should get that poster treatment.
Speaker 1 (35:53):
Yeah, we had some fun with them a few weeks
ago where Amazon just showed his face on a Thursday
night game. We're like, we don't know who that is.
Too football for a living. We know his game. It
was very well deserved. He was excellent yesterday. He's an excellent,
excellent player. But my game ball, I'm going to the
Bears and I'm going to give this one to a
Doomsday James. A Doomsday James the Dounday is Roman Doomsay's father.
He made a big deal in the Chicago media this
(36:15):
week that after the Bengals game in which everybody ate
on the offense, Roma Doomsday did not have a single reception.
Speaker 3 (36:21):
He was shut out in the forty.
Speaker 1 (36:23):
Seven point performance of the Bears offense. So, yes, so
James Dounsay makes some noise, it becomes a big story
in Chicago.
Speaker 3 (36:30):
Room. Doomsday's like, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (36:31):
That's his take, that's my Dadday was targeted on the
very first play for the Bears. He was act afterwards
when he thought of it and he said thanks.
Speaker 3 (36:39):
Dad, and everybody laughed.
Speaker 1 (36:41):
Ended up having ten targets, six catches eighty six yards
in a touchdown. It's a weird story because he was
leading the Bears and targets and receiving, and he's actually
like a top twenty five guy in the league for targets.
But Dad's will Dad, I understand it. I would probably
do the same thing at this point. Roma Donday and
more importantly, James doonsday. He pops off, kid gets the ball.
(37:02):
Oh look at this, there's Dudley to narrow. James and
Dunday retweeted this. Romadunes they should be seen at least
ten targets per game.
Speaker 3 (37:09):
This is insane. And then you get the dad retweet.
Speaker 1 (37:12):
It's hard for me to make judgment about this because
if my kid is in the NFL, it might be
doing the same thing.
Speaker 3 (37:16):
I like to think otherwise, but who knows.
Speaker 1 (37:18):
The Bears win, the kid gets the ball, the dad
gets a pat of the back.
Speaker 3 (37:21):
Game ball to all of the Adunday family.
Speaker 2 (37:23):
Sometimes the subtlety of retweeting other people's thoughts just validates
what you have in your heart and your brain and
shout out to mister A Dunsay, you're just putting out
there in the universe. You are not responsible for what
your dad reposts. Okay, these are not the thoughts of
my current employer. Do not hold them against me or them.
(37:59):
You know, some wins just hit different, you know what
I mean, Like sixty he's got to wheels.
Speaker 3 (38:03):
Yeah, well mix.
Speaker 7 (38:05):
The most is that that's the Miami Dolphins, you know
what I mean, Like not so long ago.
Speaker 3 (38:10):
There's a lot of talk about them and all that stuff.
So there's no way but to start my no way off.
Speaker 7 (38:13):
Kay, let's go back to the Ravens game where you
had three guys that are all pro and Pro bowlers
and being used for in ways that we don't usually
see them.
Speaker 3 (38:22):
Let's go to third and one. You got Mark Andrews.
Speaker 7 (38:24):
He's under center, he tosses the ball to Lamar Jackson,
and Derek Henry is out blocking. They when those two
guys make it to the Hall of Fame, Mark Andrews
has a great chance. We're not going to be known
for Lamar lining the back running back. You got Derek
Henry lead blocking. This is on third and one, and
I was like, there's no way that the Baltimore Ravens
just used their three main guys on offense to do
(38:45):
things that we ain't normally used to seeing them do.
Speaker 3 (38:47):
So that was my no way, very good, Okay, no way,
all right.
Speaker 8 (38:50):
So there's no way typically in the NFL that you
have a scoring touchdown on the defensive side of things.
Speaker 3 (38:55):
And then there's.
Speaker 8 (38:56):
Definitely no way if they're scoring touchdown happens by the
same player, right that doesn't occur like that?
Speaker 3 (39:00):
Well, actually it did.
Speaker 8 (39:02):
So there is a way because what you see right here,
see out of Seahawks coming through, get the big boom,
stripsack pool scoops and scores.
Speaker 3 (39:08):
DeMarcus Low's agent.
Speaker 8 (39:10):
Zero for the Seahawks right there, rus that thing all
the way through for a touchdown.
Speaker 3 (39:14):
But is this the same place, JAIMI, No, No, it
just looks like the same play, scoop and.
Speaker 8 (39:18):
Score, get one hand grab this times crosses the line
one more time. My goodness, I mean, there's just definitely
no way, man, t how you played defense that you can.
Speaker 3 (39:26):
Get two scoop and scores in the same day.
Speaker 1 (39:29):
I wish if I did, I probably still be playing.
Speaker 3 (39:31):
Dang that how good that is.
Speaker 4 (39:32):
That's a good one. That's a good one. Indeed, that
did have a happen twice.
Speaker 2 (39:36):
Weld On Dela we're all parents here on the show
and those at home. I hope you can relate. I
am in a very specific age of parenting with my youngest.
She is one and a half. She can't communicate super well,
but boy can she understand. So when I tell her
things like don't don't touch that remote we're in the
she just hovers her hand over it, just just for
in the spirit of just in a spirit of defiance. So, Rico, doubtle,
(39:58):
when you yourself were fined recently for your style of celebration,
when you scored again this week and for the panthers, did.
Speaker 4 (40:07):
You go for the one pump? Did you go for
the two punks? Do you dare?
Speaker 3 (40:12):
Do you get up?
Speaker 4 (40:14):
No?
Speaker 2 (40:16):
No, no, you're not gonna take my money?
Speaker 4 (40:20):

Speaker 4 (40:25):
So listen. Don't touch the remote, don't touch the stove. No, no, no,
don't do it.
Speaker 2 (40:30):
Don't I don't want to get Oh you're a smart man.
Speaker 4 (40:34):
No, you're a smart man. Rico Daddle, well done, well done, sir.
Keep that money in your pocket. Rego Daddle, you're the man.
Speaker 3 (40:42):
Yeah, kind of relatable to you. Almost there, and then
it gets turned down. Well, at least he's still scored. Guys, mind,
no way is you got It's kind of a deep cut.
I'm going to the Patriots end of the first half.
Speaker 1 (40:54):
There's no way. Was this the worst quarterback sneak of
all time? Or is there more going on here? Drake
may is that.
Speaker 3 (40:58):
The goal line? All right? So here's the deal.
Speaker 1 (41:04):
Everybody including me believes that this is Mike Brabel saying, dude,
go down intentionally, Let's spin a little more clock so
we don't give the Bucks the ball back with more
time in the second quarter, Drake made's like no, no,
no vita vea blew up the sneak. I was trying
to score. Mike Brabel would not come out to it afterwards.
This was an intentionally bad kind of quarterback sneak set
(41:25):
up to fail just to spin the clock because the
Bucks had no timeouts and it worked. Rabelized this meathead reputation.
He's shedding it immediately. He is a master of clock management.
Speaker 3 (41:35):
He showed this here. Now they risked it a little
bit because they had.
Speaker 1 (41:38):
To go all the way to fourth and goal and
had to have a CoA tapped by Stefan Diggs but
I love They had the hood spot to say, just
burn first down and let him burn clock. It looked ugly,
but it really was brilliant, good mon football

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
