Speaker 1 (00:04):
Good Morning Football is the production of the NFL in
partnership with iHeartRadio.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
Good Morning Football.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
That's right, this is Good Morning Football. Getting here everybody.
We are presented by Old Chapper Beef Turkey live in
LA and New York. However, we are focused squarely on
Philadelphia and Kansas City. Moving forward. It's Monday, January twenty seventh.
Here's Isaiah standback. There's Peter Scheger, There's Kyle Brandt. I'm
Jamie Rdall. It is a rerack. Hit the rewind button,
play the Super Bowl again. The Eagles and Chiefs squaring
(00:45):
off once more, just emotionally characters at play. How are
you guys in New York feeling about those gentlemen that
we will see in New Orleans two weeks from now?
Are you liking the way things are lining up? From
a story perspective.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
I think the narrative is perfect.
Speaker 4 (00:59):
The Eagles are looking to, I guess, thwart the Chief's
opportunity to a three peat, and for Andy Reid, he's
got to do it against his old team, not once,
but twice to complete the deal and be the first
team to ever win three straight Super Bowls. They are
the first team ever to go to three straight Super
Bowls already, which is really interesting. But can they finish
the deal? We'll sleep yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
I mean, listen, there's this sentiment out there allegedly that
people were rooting for the Bills and Commanders to give
us something different.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
I'll address that in a minute.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
In the meantime, we're going to run back a super
Bowl that was unbelievably close and competitive and with the
Chiefs for push to the limits and barely one in
the end.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
We have two fantastic teams.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
Forget about what you think about these teams for seconds
in terms of their image of reputation.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
Is an awesome matchup.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
These are two awesome teams who do a lot of
the same things together. Well, we'll get into it, but
we got two weeks. It's going to be a hell
of a game.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
It absolutely is.
Speaker 5 (01:48):
You feel good about it. I feel good about it.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
How I'm distracted by new head coaching hires in your
own listen.
Speaker 5 (01:52):
Here, we're not even get on that. That's probably tomorrow's conversation. Okay.
I love the coordinator matchups. I do love the coordinator matchups. Obviously,
between Kansas City and Philadelphia. I think there's gonna be
one heck of a battle between the offenses and defenses,
not only by the play years on the field, but
the guys that are calling the game. These guys have
two weeks to prepare for each other. It's going to
be a battle royal with the hits end.
Speaker 3 (02:09):
Kyle, how do we get there?
Speaker 2 (02:11):
I'll tell you right now.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
I'll tell you exactly how we got the Let's go
to the state of Missouri, that is where the Kansas
City Chiefs play their home games. Are right that they
earned through the regular season home game Chiefs again, go
to the Eagles.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
We're already waiting thirty two to twenty nine.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
Huge win for them, needless to say, in a huge
effort late for my homes.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
Let's hear from him, Let's.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
Hear from Kelsey, and let's see it from Big Red.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
Going back to the Super Bowl, you think.
Speaker 6 (02:36):
Of all the ups and downs and the rounds that
you went through during the season, the injuries, all those
things that have to just happen the right way, with
the margin to win and or lose in this league
is so small, the parodies unbelievable, and so it's just
some of these games are you know, they're gut wrenching,
(02:57):
and I've got a lot of gut to wrench, so
you know, it's one of those things. So you just
have to really have to You got to hit it
right and it's got to come out right.
Speaker 7 (03:08):
I mean, it's obviously really cool. That's your goal is
to win in the postseason. But I've been blessed to
be in a lot of great football teams, with a
lot of great coaches, in a great organization, and I
just try to maximize every moment because you never know
what's gonna be your last one. I know I'm a
long way from Tom, so I'll try to do whatever
I can to get close to that.
Speaker 6 (03:24):
Josh.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
Right now, it's not fun to be the champion to
beat the champs, and we didn't do it tonight. You
can either get it done or you can't, and we
didn't get it done.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
When you look at this rivalry Josh Allen and Patrick Mahomes,
we have entered into the statistical categories of one quarterback
looking for a three peet of a Super Bowls and
one quarterback who is entering first seven seasons and never
reaching a title game, most playoff wins. That's Josh Allen.
It is jarring it is emotionally the high and the
(03:57):
low is wild. What does this one mean for the
Josh Allen and Patrick Mahomes experience Peter that we know
all too well.
Speaker 4 (04:06):
I think we saw a different version of Mahomes yesterday
and in the post game. He didn't say anything that
was inflammatory, he didn't do anything that you would think
it was out of the norm for him.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
He just got the job done.
Speaker 4 (04:18):
Then he went on his Twitter and basically had the
Kermit sipping the tea. I think Mahomes here's it all.
I think Mahomes saw when the NFL Network had its
top one hundred players list and he wasn't voted in
the top three after winning his second straight Super Bowl.
I think Patrick Mahomes saw that he didn't get a
single first team All Pro vote at quarterback this year,
(04:40):
despite the fact he lost one regular season game. I
think Patrick Mahomes watched from afar as there was a
blood thirsty debate over whether Josh Allen or Lamar Jackson
was the best player in football this season, and he
wasn't included in a single one of those conversations. I
think Patrick Mahomes saw the MVP finalists for NFL Honors
(05:04):
and saw that not only was Kansas City chief not mentioned,
he wasn't even considered. Patrick Mahomes has not been mentioned.
Patrick Mahomes has not been considered, and Patrick Mahomes has
not been voted in any of these postseason awards where
it's just littered with Ravens and Bills and Eagles.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
I also think Patrick.
Speaker 4 (05:25):
Mahomes might have read or heard a few narratives about
the officiating and how the Chiefs get the benefit of
the call, and that he gets the benefit of the call.
So much so that I think Patrick Mahomes Mahomes, a
player who does not need any extra motivation, had extra
motivation yesterday and has extra motivation now. For Patrick Mahomes
(05:46):
to tweet the meme of Kermit, who many say he
sounds like sipping the tea after the game, it tells
me he saw it all, he read it all, and he.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
Absorbed it all.
Speaker 4 (05:58):
This is a different version of Mahomes. I think Patrick Mahomes,
who is very happily married, has three wonderful chills LDN
and has all the personal and team accolades you can imagine,
is ready to perhaps wear the black hat. No quarterback
has ever won three straight Super Bowls. Patrick Mahomes is
now fourteen days away of saying he was that guy.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
And I think he likes the fact.
Speaker 4 (06:22):
That the NFL fans are against him, the NFL voters
are against him, and maybe they think that this guy's
been getting the benefit of the doubt. I like this
version of Mahomes. It's almost like he's going to the
dark side a little bit. He's leaning in, and I'm
here for it.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
It's really well said, Peter, It's really well said.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
I want to say something, just go on the record
now that we're going to next two weeks, we'll.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
Talk about the Chiefs.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
There is a widespread sentiments going into these games and
coming out of him that please, like Josh Allen, be
the hero, not for the Buffalo Bills, but for the
planet Earth, for the United States, for every football fan.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
Please beat the Chiefs.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
And you can pull up every Internet joke about and
you show the country and who they're rooting for this time.
Little thing in Missouri and Kansas is rooting for the
Chiefs and everyone else is rooting against them openly.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
I do not feel that way. I do not agree
with that. I am a.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
Bills enthusiast of sorts, but there is no part of
this as the Chiefs. I'm sick of it. And if
you're looking for that from this show, certainly from me.
Don't come to me for that. I do not feel
that way. I am not here to say that, here
to say I have huge respect for a quarterback who.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
Is seventeen and three in the.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
Playoffs, in playoff games, who has won nine straight playoff games,
nine straight. That is the fifth straight win this team
in This quarterback is having the playoffs by single digits.
That's the longest streak in NFL history. Patrick Mahomes has
seventeen playoff wins. He's already halfway pretty much to Brady's record,
and he's still in his twenties. I am not gonna
(07:54):
come here and say they suck. They're the dark Empire,
this evil dynasty. No, no, no, no, This is the inevitable
stage of any dynasty. You always reach this. And if
you're screaming about officials, go ahead and do it. If
it makes you feel better, I bet it makes you
feel worse. The Patriots, they finally got to their cheaters.
The Yankees bought all their championships, and the Chiefs get
(08:15):
all the calls.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
From the referees. That is how it is.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
You can't really find the dynasty where it doesn't something
creep up like that. Just the best part is if
they drive you crazy, though, if you really hate the Chiefs,
and you're hating me right now for saying this, at
some point they will lose. At some point, someone's gonna
get them. I don't know when, and I don't know who,
but when they do, it will be historic. It will
be so satisfying for you, the hater, that they finally
(08:40):
got them, and it's like Goldberg's unconscious and they spray
paint nWo across his chest. It'll be the most glorious win.
And then you'll have your moment. Someone will get them, Okay.
And of course, of course I'm a human being. I
talked about the NFL for a living. I would have
liked to see something fresh. Of course, of course we've
(09:00):
talked a lot about the cheese, We've talked a lot
about the Eagles. Something fresh to chew on and to
talk about. But you know what I respect about the Chiefs.
They don't give a damn. They don't care that you're
sick of them or that I want something fresh, or
that people are bored with them. They're embracing it. We don't, Kevin, Damn.
We're gonna win anyway, and I have to respect them.
You might hate them, you might not even respect them.
(09:22):
I respect them and I respect We're seeing two teams
in the super Bowl but no one wanted. Who are
combined thirty four and five and we'll probably have a
hell of a game. That's where I come out. If
you're coming from the Chiefs hate for me, I'm not
giving it to you. I have nothing but respect, you know.
I sorry, not sorry.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
I've go p'vin early on the Chiefs run.
Speaker 4 (09:38):
Obviously, I've picked them to win the super Bowl. The
years they've won the Super Bowl, I picked them in
the Super Bowl. Before this season, the Bills fans have
been chirping a lot at me because I had the
Jets winning the AFC East. This year, the Bills fans
have been very vocal. The Bills fans had America behind them, Kyle,
in many ways, you've been a voice for the Bills
fans too. Do you have a message to those fans
who are hurt and watching at home today.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
Just keep throwing punches guys, what are you gonna do?
Keep throwing punches? You didn't have it this year. Listen,
it's tough, and Isaiah I do Nobody wants to hear that.
They just went into Kansas City. They outrushed them, They
made Mahomes make a few mistakes, they didn't miss a
kick and they still lost. So Cheez didn't turn the
ball over. No, it's like, what can we do? And
Bills Fans is sitting there this morning, be like, I
(10:20):
don't know how else we're going to do this thing.
And my last note, if you're looking for me to
come here on this morning, anybody, just say it's time
to look at Sean McDermott. You're bleeping crazy. You are nuts.
You are not say like Sean McDermott. You were just
in the title game. Do you remember what it used
to be like? You remember what it was like before McDermott.
It was a wasteland. You guys had nothing. You were
(10:40):
just you can't beat the Chiefs. So should they fire
John Harbaugh too? They just fire everybody who's not Andy Reid. Ridiculous.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
I know everyone's emotional and reactionary. If you're coming for.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
Sean mcdermot's had you need to check your own Okay,
that's my message this morning, Isaiah.
Speaker 5 (10:52):
Please, yeah, I totally agree with you.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
Now, he is one heck of a coach.
Speaker 5 (10:55):
And if you guys have any questions in regards to
his ability to coach, go listen to the postgame interview
where Andy Reid gave him nothing but respect. That dude
knows how to coach. He keeps put them in a
position to go out against Patrick Mahomes and try to
get the win. Obviously it didn't happen yesterday, but you know,
I think they're gonna have to continue to channel their
inner apocalypto right now because right now, all you can
(11:16):
continue to say is they call you almost right. And
I hate to say that for the Buffalo Bills, but
right now, that's all you can do is call them
almost And they have done what they can do. During
the regular season. They can they have done what they
can do. In the postseason. They've done what they can
do in terms of acquisitions. You guys, remember they went
back in and got Amari Cooper to be able to
be in these situations to help put them over the edge.
(11:36):
But they still are going to be referred to as
almost it wasn't enough. I think we need to invite
them out their whiteboard Wednesdays because they have to continue
to try to find what is that next edge we
can We don't have the wisdom of an Andy Reid, right,
we don't have the wisdom of a spagnolia. So we
need to continue to add players. Where are we failing
at that we keep coming up short against this regime?
(11:59):
And I don't know what it is right now, but
I know that they're gonna have to go back and
find out exactly what spot can be filed and what
exactly is going to put them way over the edge
to ensure that they have the best possible chance to
be going to the super Bowl because coming up short,
as you see from Josh Allen, it is wearing on
them emotionally.
Speaker 3 (12:17):
I like that quote that Mahomes had after the game,
just in reference to I'm nowhere near Tom Brady. I'm
going to do everything I can to inch closer to
what Brady accomplished from a super Bowl perspective. I have
to imagine Andy Reid feels the same about Bill Belichick
and what he can do. In the All Time List conversation,
if we're going to talk about Sean McDermott and how
great he is, Big Red, you are awesome. You are
back in a super Bowl again, and you just continue
(12:39):
to make history and move your name up that list,
and once again you got to go against your former team.
A lot more to talk about here on GMFBE that
was just the AFC side of things. Don't worry, we
got you. We got you Eagles fans, Commanders fans. Maybe
we can write you a love letter as well. After
the season that you had that was awesome. You got
yourselves a quarterback, you got yourselves a great coach. We're
going to look at Jayden Daniels, dan Quinn. The future
(13:02):
is brighton DC. But also if the Eagles.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
Move on, Pap I didn't give a game ball after
weekend like that, you get the team together in the
locker room, you hold up the ball and says, I
want to give it to this guy. It's a tough,
tough choice, but that's what they bring us in for, folks,
we got to make them right after this, we're handing
them out.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
It's not going to Jaydan Daniels, but maybe that.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
Guy, maybe someone tackling Jayon Daniels or maybe some of
the AFC.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
Who would you give your game ball to? Right after this?
Good mon football?
Speaker 1 (13:39):
All here we go NFC title game, all this bill
up to those two quarterbacks, I think maybe you might
have predicted the Eagles could be there.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
Beginning of the season.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
One was saying Washington though, but after an incredible drive
to start three to zero, this is the first play
from the scrimmage for the Eagles, and he gone trying
to think of a running back. In the last decade,
it's been as fun to watch a Saquon Barkley.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
I mean, you know, Derek Henry has been amazing. There's
been some great ones. I just to watch watch. I
used to love watching Levy on Bell. But Saquon right
now doing a fantastic thing. Fifty five twenty three.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
They went by a lot and afterwards the losing quarterback,
Jaydon Daniels, did not hope back about his disappointment.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
They put a banner up obviously.
Speaker 8 (14:19):
Man it sucks, man, it sucks. Excuse my language, but
just I come be proud of the guys in the
locker room. You know, just year one, everybody not really
knowing each other. Rookie the best of the tremendous job
of you know, bringing us in and helping us out,
and we all just meshed and you know, we got
to this point. But at the end of the day, man,
(14:39):
you know, we lost it. It sucks, but we'll move
on from this.
Speaker 3 (14:44):
You didn't see that version of Jaydon Daniels a lot
this season. It's because the commander is their offense. Their
team was awesome to watch for that rookie quarterback. He
could have made history.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
Comes up short.
Speaker 3 (14:53):
We have never seen a rookie quarterback start a Super Bowl.
We will not this season. It's Eagles Chiefs. But let's
take a minute and look at what Washington was able
to accomplish. Or Peter, if you want to go the
other direction with he goes you cab. But we got
some time to spend here with Washington where the future
is really bright at the quarterback spot.
Speaker 4 (15:10):
I think this was a really cool ride and a
really special team. But I do think they are going
to be everybody's bandwagon squad going into next year because
for good reason, they have huge salary cap availability where
they can actually bring in more skill position players in
a year that has a lot of attractive free agents
at wide receiver and tight end. You also mentioned that
(15:30):
Jaden Daniels he played well yesterday. They turned the ball
over a bunch. Jaden Daniels was great yesterday.
Speaker 2 (15:37):
You're a Commander's fan. Life is good.
Speaker 4 (15:39):
One more note, Cliff Kingsbury and Daniels had this incredible connection.
Cliff did not interview for any of these jobs. He
wasn't asked to interview for some and the ones that
thinks and I'm going to wait until after our season,
well their season went into basically February, and those.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
Jobs are filled, so he's coming back.
Speaker 4 (15:54):
There's a lot to like about this Commander's team.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
The one note I will make not that it was
lightning in a.
Speaker 4 (15:59):
Bottle, but it was really cool to see like Bobby
Wagner get another shot at almost getting to it Super
Bowl and Zach Ertz almost.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
Getting to another Super Bowl. Even some guys.
Speaker 4 (16:10):
Who aren't in the same class as that as far
as years in the league, but like Austin Eckler, we
don't know if he's ever going to get this far
again in his career. And players that we have learned
to love from those Chiefs teams and.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
Wiley and Ala Ghretti.
Speaker 4 (16:22):
This is a really good team that's made of young
players but also veterans. But I think with the way
that Adam Peters built this thing this year and the
salary cap room they have going into next year, they're
going to be an attractive free agent destination.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
They will be better on paper next year.
Speaker 4 (16:38):
Now, can they catch that lightning in a bottle and
win all those hail marry games and the walk offs?
Speaker 2 (16:43):
I don't know. It's really hard to be great two
years in a row and you're one of these upstart teams.
But they will have a better roster.
Speaker 4 (16:48):
I think a lot of free agents are going to
want to play there, and they're going to spend money
in the offseason.
Speaker 5 (16:52):
I completely agree with you, and I know so because
of Dan Quinn. And I know we're going to talk
about the salary cap for the Washington Commanders. I know
we're going to talk about the new leadership and the ownership,
and you know how you have the blend between young
players and veteran players. Listen up. All those things are true,
but the culture that they have now instilled in Washington
is going to be what attracts all the free agents
(17:12):
to that market and to that team. Jayden Daniels is
going to be the one who attracts these guys to
this team. You think about it, when the most important,
the biggest game of the year, the person who had
the most receptions was zach Ertz, the person who is
most likely closer to the end of their career that
anybody else on their roster. Zach Ertz was your number
one leading receiver yesterday. So you think about the room
that they have to grow and the acquisitions that they're
(17:33):
going to be able to have, not only on the
offense side of the ball, but the defense where dan
Quinn loves to live. These guys are going to be
a problem and they're not gonna have to rely on
Hill Mary's to put them in situational games next year,
because these guys are going to have a roster that's
substantially better than what they have right now.
Speaker 1 (17:48):
You know that it was reported during the game they
had dan Quinn's pregame message to the commanders, and it
really fired me up, and it's just like perfect coaching rhetoric.
Dan Quinn's message was that guys, we're not playing with
house money. We're playing for rent money, and rent is dude,
and I was like, yeah, nal, he delivered it so well, right, No,
he's absolutely stuck the landing during the broadcast, and it's
(18:09):
a vintage dan Quinn thing.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
And you know, I'm tempted to say it's coach talk.
You're playing with house money and you know it. You
got this crazy run. Fine, the season is over.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
But I'm always reminded this time of year that there
is a great myth in the NFL, and that myth is,
as a young great quarterback, you'll get yours.
Speaker 2 (18:27):
Eventually, you'll be back. That's nonsense, guys.
Speaker 1 (18:30):
That's to say that the Jayden Daniels commanders will be
some sort of mainstay late in the playoffs is naive.
It's very naive. It happens all the time. I remember
a few years ago this heartbreaking loss in the Super
Bowl for Joe Burrow. Oh, someone of his talent, he'll
get his he'll be back, Willie, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
You don't know.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
Even somebody last year brock Purty loses an overtime and
it's like, well, you're part of that forty nine ers machine.
You'll be are you sure, brock Perty When you get
a shot, you cash it in. It doesn't matter if
you're a rookie or in your twentieth season. Look, I'll
go further back. A guy who actually won one, Aaron
Rodgers is standing on the podium with Clay Matthews and
a heavyweight belt as the confetti falls, and it's like,
(19:09):
how many will Rogers win? He never even got back
to the game. And it's probably the most talented quarterback.
Speaker 2 (19:14):
Ever before him was Marino.
Speaker 1 (19:16):
Yeah, Marino gets when really young, never makes it back.
So I'm tempted to say, yeah, it's house money, they'll
you don't know. You don't know injuries, you don't know
the opposition. I think dan Quinn was right as hard
as he tried to sell that message of let's cash
it in now.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
We may never be back. They may never be back.
It's not just this assured thing.
Speaker 1 (19:35):
Well, well, their quarterback is good and they have a
coach you everyone likes. So I'm sure you're positive in
the long term future of this ownership group and this
GM group, Like, we love what they did this year,
Now do it again. It's way, way, way, way harder.
There's nothing as assured.
Speaker 3 (19:48):
Yeah, just ask Jalen Hurts. He's the first quarterback to
go back to Super Bowl after losing his first year,
which Jim Kelly did it. So if you look no
further than just in that division and how challenging this
could be, Kyle, I thought you were going to go
that the allure is off the fact they like, don't just.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
Think that all rich quarterbacks could be.
Speaker 3 (20:05):
Like that, because what Jayde and Daniels did just as
a rookie is remarkable.
Speaker 2 (20:09):
Oh, it is remarkable. And Jamie brought up like one
of my favorite things.
Speaker 1 (20:13):
There's a streak that people love on the internet that
if you lose your first Super Bowl as quarterback, you
will never make it back. Now, the first person to
do it after Jim Kelly started with Stan Humphreys in
nineteen ninety four.
Speaker 2 (20:22):
And I can name all the names.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
Everybody can carry Collins to Colin Kaepernick, Donovan McNabb did,
Jared Goff to Joe but Chris Chandler, so many of them.
That streak is now over. Jalen Hurts just finally broke
the streak. It's an amazing thing that he did. And
we'll talk about Jalen Hurts a lot in the next
couple of weeks. In the meantime, Jane Daniels can sit
here and say I had the best rookie season in
(20:43):
NFL history for a quarterback. It's an amazing, amazing year.
But still no rookie ever to start the Super Bowl ever,
Shadur you're up, buddy.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
Go get him.
Speaker 3 (20:52):
Come on, and I venture a guess. Despite how magical
he was, and Jane Daniels did get a couple of
our game balls this season. He does not get one
from over the weekend from Championship Sunday. I have a
prop we will give these out. It is game ball
on gmf FE. This was handed to me live in
the middle of the segment because I don't think you
understand what we're doing unless I'm holding the ball.
Speaker 2 (21:12):
Can oh God, look in front of mockle game balls.
Let's go.
Speaker 3 (21:16):
That trophy looks awesome because there's a golden crusted ball
sitting right on top of it.
Speaker 2 (21:20):
It's like this, but instead we go.
Speaker 3 (21:22):
Game balls or a conference championship edition.
Speaker 2 (21:25):
I'm going to follow the rules.
Speaker 3 (21:26):
I think Isaiah, you're first, all right, I will take.
Speaker 5 (21:28):
This hut all right.
Speaker 2 (21:28):
Here we go like this.
Speaker 5 (21:29):
My first game ball goes to probably the man that
everybody's gonna say or what normally say, and that is
Patrick Mahomes. And the reason why Patrick Mahomes gets his
ball is because he's just a dude and he does
at every single year. Not only does he do it
through the air like everybody talks about most of the time,
but yesterday he did majority of it with his legs.
This dude was on the ground eleven times forty three
(21:51):
yards two tunnies with his legs.
Speaker 9 (21:53):
I mean.
Speaker 5 (21:53):
Then he also had eight different receivers they threw the
ball to on twenty five different passes. This dude was
not only dispersing the ball, but he was utilizing his
legs and make the plays however they need to win
ball games. They put it in his hands that he
always comes through me.
Speaker 4 (22:08):
Peter, Well, if you're gonna go offense, I'm gonna go defense.
And I might get emotional here and I wouldn't be
the only guy to do it, because last night I
was living and dying on every Chris Jones tier that
we saw during the anthem. We start this off and
Chris Jones is so emotional that he's crying no Sean moreno,
(22:29):
like tears right there to goa and then in the
biggest game, of the season. Chris Jones was simply unblockable.
He was unbelievable last night. That defensive line had Josh
Allen sawd on these short yardage plays, and Jones is the.
Speaker 2 (22:42):
Anchor of it all. He is the third of me Goo.
Speaker 4 (22:45):
If you're gonna say it's Mahomes and Kelsey, Chris Jones
is there every step of the way this entire run.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
And then after the game, there he was again, crying,
Chris Jones, stone cold. We see you, We appreciate you.
What a fine player.
Speaker 4 (22:58):
You are, maybe the most underrated chief of this era.
Chris Jones, a dominant defensetive player who made his presence
felt and got quite emotional during the whole deal.
Speaker 3 (23:08):
Most accessible tiers in the NFL. That's what Chris Jones
takes away from the weekend, from the postseason. My game
ball goes to a rookie on defense with Philadelphia Eagles
and Quinjon Mitchell. Last week on this show, I did
a top five Jaden Daniels plays, and frankly it could
have been top five Jane Daniels and Terry McLaurin. Look
at what Quinnon Mitchell did against Terry McLaurin. Four times only.
(23:30):
He was targeted on thirty six routes ran by the
Star Commander's wide receiver. He had one catch good for
seven yards, and one of those balls was picked off
in the end zone by Quinnon Mitchell and the staff
that you do not see listed on that screen. After
this pick was celebrations mocked one because Quinnon Mitchell did
(23:51):
the peekaboo that Terry McLaurin likes to do, and then
the Saquon Everyone freaked out because he did the Saquon celebration.
But after Quinnyon went up and got this ball, like
a wide receiver, he pops up and Terry McLaurin, whether
or he was trying to be say, he does the peekaboo,
and he did it right over top of seventeen.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
He took that ball.
Speaker 5 (24:09):
That is mine.
Speaker 3 (24:10):
I am a rookie. You're playing like a sophomore, Quinnyon Mitchell,
you may very well be when this thing is all
said and done, the greatest player to.
Speaker 4 (24:16):
Come out of the MAC.
Speaker 2 (24:17):
We'll see it's a good game.
Speaker 1 (24:18):
But I'm just watching that this is this rookie defensive
back who's part of this Eagles machine. I know Mahomes
has one nine straight playoff games. The Eagles are so good,
they are so talented and so deep. I am so
excited for this game. I'm into it. I'm ready. How
long do we have to wait? Thirteen days or something
like that. All right, I'm going to get my game
ball to Saquon Barkley because we've talked a lot this
year about what clubs he joins and what honors he earns.
(24:38):
He's in the two thousand yard club. He's a win
away from joining another club, and that's a very exclusive club.
Speaker 2 (24:44):
Of running backs who have carried their teams.
Speaker 1 (24:47):
To Super Bowl champions Stamp championships. It's very rare when
it's like the running back is the guy.
Speaker 7 (24:53):
You know.
Speaker 2 (24:53):
I was looking at it.
Speaker 1 (24:54):
I was thinking about you might want to say Marshawn
on Seattle. That was the legion of boom. That was
really what jumped out from them. Jerome Bettis was late
in his career when they won it. He wasn't the
superstar in that team. I would go so all the
way back to Terrell Davis as the number one guy
for Old John l Way to win them back to
back Super Bowls, and he was the guy.
Speaker 2 (25:11):
You know.
Speaker 1 (25:11):
That's the show. That's the number one threat. That's the
guy we have to stop. You watch Saquon and as
much as you love Jalen and AJ Brown, et cetera,
he is the guy. He is the best player I
think on their team and any position on either side
of the ball.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
And all he has done is show up for.
Speaker 1 (25:24):
His first extended playoff run ever and just been absolutely electric.
He waited all of ten seconds to bust his latest
sixty plus yard run.
Speaker 2 (25:32):
Saquon another really cool club. Await.
Speaker 1 (25:34):
You haven't think we've seen it since TD was mile
high saluting. Now you go to New Orleans, see if
you can finish this thing. Game ball Saquon Barkley number
twenty six.
Speaker 3 (25:41):
I like that force hug between Saquon. He's like, no
wide receivers, you will hug me. You love me, I
help us all all right? The Eagles are going to
New Orleans. They're playing in thirteen days. We're here for
you still to come. Look at that first pass at
the New Orleans Super Bowl poster Chiefs Eagles and Jalen
Hurts gets the quarterback treatment up Top.
Speaker 2 (26:13):
Football. Every week on this show, we gave out our
Coach of the Week award. And it's no different for
this one.
Speaker 4 (26:20):
Just two weeks before Super Bowl, and the coach of
the Week for the Conference Championship round is Big Red himself.
All right, Andy Reid gets our award for Coach of
the Week for getting back to the big game and
doing it against his former team. And he'll have to
do it for the second time in three years. Andy
Reid started off as the coach of the Eagles and
had many, many fine years. There's John Harbaugh Conference championship
(26:45):
after conference championship, got to a Super Bowl, lost to
the Patriots. Of course he had to o and McNab
goes down there, ends with Philadelphia, comes back to Kansas City,
and then sure enough goes and coaches against the Eagles two.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
Years ago in Arizona, his former.
Speaker 4 (27:02):
Team, and he would get the victim in that Super Bowl. Well, somehow,
some way, you can't even write this stuff. To go
and be the first head coach to ever have a
three p to ever win three in a row, he'll
have to bookend that three peat with a win over
the Eagles, and then yet another win over the Eagles.
(27:25):
He is currently the only head coach in the game
who is even within breathing distance of the all time
record for wins, but the rings might matter more. Andy
Reid gets yet another team to the Super Bowl, and
in less than two weeks we will find out if
he is the first ever NFL head coach to win
(27:47):
three awesome great.
Speaker 2 (27:48):
Sherry Burris, big Red's going back. Where's the show will
be to celebrate?
Speaker 4 (27:54):
I think he said it was a gut wrenching win,
and I'm someone who knows about a gut.
Speaker 2 (27:58):
I'm like, jeez, Andy even throwing a joke in the
biggest of moments.
Speaker 4 (28:02):
But in all seriousness, what an amazing for an amazing
man and an amazing coach.
Speaker 2 (28:06):
Andy Reid, big Red's going back to the big days.
Speaker 10 (28:08):
Yes, he has been so spectacular to watch and more
from that game, as Casey won defensive end, Charles and
many you capped an emotional comeback he suffered to an
ACL in last year's AFC Championship game. He spoke with
our Sarah Walsh after the win about getting yet another
chance to finally play in a Super Bowl title game.
Speaker 3 (28:28):
Charles, a year ago, in this game, you tore your ACL.
Speaker 2 (28:32):
A year later, you are back. You are going back
to the Super Bowl.
Speaker 9 (28:36):
Bruh. God is so good. God is so good to
be able to make plays to help the team win.
And that's all I wanted.
Speaker 2 (28:43):
I just told myself, like I remember when I was in.
Speaker 9 (28:46):
My Green Love Soup Jump Soup, and I was saying,
to look like somebody not going super I had no idea,
I told my ahl. Now I can look at the
camera and say, do it look like somebody had not
played in the Super Bowl?
Speaker 2 (28:56):
I am God is good. Bro.
Speaker 9 (28:58):
Much love to Chief Kingdom seem Boilers.
Speaker 8 (29:00):
Yeah, you said how tough it was to watch them
play that game without you.
Speaker 2 (29:05):
What's it going to be like in two weeks before it?
Speaker 9 (29:08):
I don't even I've never played the game that big,
so I'm it's gonna before it, man. But it's been
my dream, says being like coming to the lead to
play in the biggest stage and to help a team,
helping organization make history.
Speaker 2 (29:22):
We gotta do it.
Speaker 10 (29:23):
That's why we love the game. I actually spoke to
him last year at media day just before he had
his ACL surgery.
Speaker 2 (29:29):
He was not that animated.
Speaker 10 (29:31):
Let me tell you still to come though the place
from Championship.
Speaker 2 (29:34):
Weekend having us scratch our heads.
Speaker 10 (29:36):
What just happened more Good morning football on.
Speaker 3 (29:38):
The way guys, head Scratcher's time. Here we go from Sunday, Peter,
what are you thinking about still?
Speaker 4 (29:44):
You know, I think a lot of people are talking
just about what you just mentioned Kelsey and Swift and
how it's been overexposed and we're sick of them. And
I was like, all right, Travis didn't have the biggest game,
and yet he's on the podium afterwards they give him
the microphone. I'm like, all right, maybe he's just a
little bit like lower key and maybe just kind of
like taking it all in.
Speaker 2 (30:02):
It might be his last one. We don't know, maybe
a different.
Speaker 4 (30:04):
Wiser, older, more reserved, almost Travis Kelcey. Here was Travis
Kelcey on the podium. I thought it was It was
actually really interesting.
Speaker 11 (30:12):
All right, before you gots get out of here, just
do a little.
Speaker 5 (30:17):
Make a little love.
Speaker 2 (30:21):
Yeah, get down tonight.
Speaker 1 (30:27):
How badly did Jim nance want to grab that microphone
and look at the camera.
Speaker 2 (30:30):
Go and get down tonight and Jim make a little love.
Speaker 3 (30:37):
They did not, It is yeah, they did not pan
back to his girlfriend going like this like oh no.
Speaker 5 (30:41):
No, no, no.
Speaker 3 (30:42):
One followed it up very well for you. Mine comes
from that game as well. A couple of minutes prior.
We have a gentleman, an athlete that could have played
in the NFL and been one of the greatest quarterbacks
ever or played professional baseball, attempting to do a spike
that went wrong.
Speaker 2 (30:56):
If only there was a machine.
Speaker 3 (30:58):
Guys that we had, that could tell us how strong
this spike could have been. Patrick Mahomes, what are you doing?
You punched this in That ball was supposed to go
into the ground.
Speaker 2 (31:07):
It did not.
Speaker 3 (31:07):
It looked like a professional fastball. Huzzah, he tweets after
the game. Mahomes gets on X I also apologize. That
is why I don't try to spike the ball. I
think if you're Mahomes and you're winning all these super Bowls,
you're going for a three peat.
Speaker 2 (31:21):
Isaiah, I think he's.
Speaker 3 (31:22):
Just been like, no, no, I I was meant this
for a one hundred millars fastball. It wasn't supposed to
be a spike. What are you guys doing? We would
have bought it. Why did you give yourself up?
Speaker 2 (31:30):
Mahomes?
Speaker 3 (31:30):
That's my head scratcher.
Speaker 2 (31:31):
You don't don't tell me why.
Speaker 5 (31:32):
That's why the fall through was nice though.
Speaker 2 (31:34):
You see the back lag come up?
Speaker 5 (31:35):
Yeah, exactly, say the baseball background for sure. Not so
much in the game, but after the game, right, everybody
finds out exactly who's going to be the matchup for
the Super Bowl. And then you wait on the poster, right,
everybody wants to see it exectly what the market is
going to be? What is the matchup poster? Let's let's
go ahead and take a look. This one has my
hands scrap I they.
Speaker 4 (31:50):
Had just changed his by the way, I definitely just
change it.
Speaker 5 (31:52):
When you guys look at it.
Speaker 2 (31:53):
Look at the Philadelphia Eagles side.
Speaker 5 (31:54):
Okay, obviously all right, you got Jalen Hurst, Yeah you
got sa Quand okay, yeah Brown, big play slave. I
have no beef there. I have no beef with big
play Slave. But I do have bea with the fact
that Zach bonm Come, the defensive MBPS Canada, is not
in this poster. How hell say? How slay? I don't know,
but I know that zag vond he's earned his way.
(32:16):
Just add him right right above the Eagle.
Speaker 2 (32:17):
He deserves to be on that post qualifies it.
Speaker 3 (32:20):
How dare they?
Speaker 2 (32:20):
How do they eliminate bond that.
Speaker 1 (32:22):
Is such a good take. That is such a great take.
We should actually remedy, if only for our show. We
should have Bond on the poster.
Speaker 2 (32:27):
And we love Slay.
Speaker 1 (32:28):
All right, Frankie Luvu is still diving over the egles
off but he's still doing it.
Speaker 2 (32:32):
Guys.
Speaker 1 (32:32):
This is the almost unbelievable sequence that happened late in
this game.
Speaker 2 (32:35):
So here we go.
Speaker 1 (32:36):
The Eagles are about to punch one in and watch
Lubu on the left. He keeps trying to do the
Polo malu and he keeps mistiming it, and so they
flag him and they flag him and they flag him,
and it just no matter how many times they flag them,
it kept doing it.
Speaker 2 (32:49):
So then the official makes this announcement. Here's announcement number one.
Speaker 11 (32:55):
Encroachment defense number four Washington has been worn.
Speaker 2 (33:00):
The dot fowl is intentionally done again.
Speaker 5 (33:02):
It will be an unsportsmanlike conduct fole.
Speaker 2 (33:04):
For now it's top to.
Speaker 5 (33:05):
The east of the goal and it is still second down.
Speaker 2 (33:09):
All right, makes sense.
Speaker 1 (33:10):
You keep doing that, it's gonna be on sports from
like conduct. Well, they keep jumping off sides. They're just
trying to stop them, and there's nothing really the officials
can do because the ball is already on the goal line,
so the next announcement blew everybody's mind and lit up
every text chain in America.
Speaker 2 (33:23):
Go ahead.
Speaker 11 (33:26):
Approachman Defense number ninety three. Washington has been advised that
at some point, the referee can award a score if
this type of behavior act happens again.
Speaker 5 (33:37):
For now, it's a replay of second down.
Speaker 2 (33:40):
I'm sorry, did you say they could award a score.
Speaker 1 (33:42):
No one in the world I've ever heard of or met,
has ever heard of the official saying touchdown even though
you didn't score one. However, Rule twelve, Section three, Article
two speaks of an a palpably unfair act in which
the ball is already on the goal line, and let's say,
for example, the defense has nothing to lose, so they
decide to just grab the receivers on every play, because
(34:03):
what are they going to do penethalize with yardage. No,
the referees reserve the right the officials do, just say
enough of this touchdown, get off the field. I don't
know how they score it. I don't know who gets
credit for the touchdown, but people started texting and talking
about it.
Speaker 2 (34:15):
Has this ever happened before in the NFL? Okay, now,
hold on.
Speaker 1 (34:19):
The answer is no, they have never awarded a touchdown
for one that wasn't scored. But it has happened at
the college level. And hold the video tape in the
nineteen fifty four Cotton Bowl. This is Rice versus the
bart Star Alabama Crimson Tide.
Speaker 2 (34:35):
It happened, and you will not believe.
Speaker 1 (34:37):
How it happened. And we have the video tape. Show
me the nineteen fifty four Cotton Bowl. You're gonna see
Rice's Dicky Magel is gonna break a run against Alabama
down the sidelines. A legendary will watch forty seven. Watch
what happens on this play. You will not believe it happens.
Speaker 2 (34:52):
Three two, one.
Speaker 1 (34:55):
Oh whoaou That is Tommy Lewis off the sideline, taking
him out with a hit and.
Speaker 2 (35:02):
Then going right than that eventually nothing.
Speaker 1 (35:05):
So again, Dicky Magle's in the clear, he's going to score,
and Tommy Lewis, who is on the bench, not on
the pitch, makes a beautiful tackle which actually injured Magel.
Speaker 2 (35:16):
The official said touchdown.
Speaker 1 (35:18):
They called it a touchdown for a palpably unfair act.
And this, as far as we know, is the last
time this has ever been called in any level of
football game, never NFL, but the fifty four Cotton boll.
Later Tommy Lewis, who just ran off the sideline, would say,
I was just too full of Alabama to let him do.
Speaker 2 (35:37):
Who from the production staff helped you find that Bill
Henschell and all his married men and women.
Speaker 1 (35:42):
That's what Dicky Magle rice howse Look how proud.
Speaker 5 (35:46):
He is when he gets back to the THI yeah,
I did that, Yeah I did that.
Speaker 2 (35:50):
All right? Do you come three?
Speaker 5 (35:52):
Two,
Good Morning Football is the production of the NFL in
partnership with iHeartRadio.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
Good Morning Football.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
That's right, this is Good Morning Football. Getting here everybody.
We are presented by Old Chapper Beef Turkey live in
LA and New York. However, we are focused squarely on
Philadelphia and Kansas City. Moving forward. It's Monday, January twenty seventh.
Here's Isaiah standback. There's Peter Scheger, There's Kyle Brandt. I'm
Jamie Rdall. It is a rerack. Hit the rewind button,
play the Super Bowl again. The Eagles and Chiefs squaring
(00:45):
off once more, just emotionally characters at play. How are
you guys in New York feeling about those gentlemen that
we will see in New Orleans two weeks from now?
Are you liking the way things are lining up? From
a story perspective.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
I think the narrative is perfect.
Speaker 4 (00:59):
The Eagles are looking to, I guess, thwart the Chief's
opportunity to a three peat, and for Andy Reid, he's
got to do it against his old team, not once,
but twice to complete the deal and be the first
team to ever win three straight Super Bowls. They are
the first team ever to go to three straight Super
Bowls already, which is really interesting. But can they finish
the deal? We'll sleep yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
I mean, listen, there's this sentiment out there allegedly that
people were rooting for the Bills and Commanders to give
us something different.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
I'll address that in a minute.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
In the meantime, we're going to run back a super
Bowl that was unbelievably close and competitive and with the
Chiefs for push to the limits and barely one in
the end.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
We have two fantastic teams.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
Forget about what you think about these teams for seconds
in terms of their image of reputation.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
Is an awesome matchup.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
These are two awesome teams who do a lot of
the same things together. Well, we'll get into it, but
we got two weeks. It's going to be a hell
of a game.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
It absolutely is.
Speaker 5 (01:48):
You feel good about it. I feel good about it.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
How I'm distracted by new head coaching hires in your
own listen.
Speaker 5 (01:52):
Here, we're not even get on that. That's probably tomorrow's conversation. Okay.
I love the coordinator matchups. I do love the coordinator matchups. Obviously,
between Kansas City and Philadelphia. I think there's gonna be
one heck of a battle between the offenses and defenses,
not only by the play years on the field, but
the guys that are calling the game. These guys have
two weeks to prepare for each other. It's going to
be a battle royal with the hits end.
Speaker 3 (02:09):
Kyle, how do we get there?
Speaker 2 (02:11):
I'll tell you right now.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
I'll tell you exactly how we got the Let's go
to the state of Missouri, that is where the Kansas
City Chiefs play their home games. Are right that they
earned through the regular season home game Chiefs again, go
to the Eagles.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
We're already waiting thirty two to twenty nine.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
Huge win for them, needless to say, in a huge
effort late for my homes.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
Let's hear from him, Let's.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
Hear from Kelsey, and let's see it from Big Red.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
Going back to the Super Bowl, you think.
Speaker 6 (02:36):
Of all the ups and downs and the rounds that
you went through during the season, the injuries, all those
things that have to just happen the right way, with
the margin to win and or lose in this league
is so small, the parodies unbelievable, and so it's just
some of these games are you know, they're gut wrenching,
(02:57):
and I've got a lot of gut to wrench, so
you know, it's one of those things. So you just
have to really have to You got to hit it
right and it's got to come out right.
Speaker 7 (03:08):
I mean, it's obviously really cool. That's your goal is
to win in the postseason. But I've been blessed to
be in a lot of great football teams, with a
lot of great coaches, in a great organization, and I
just try to maximize every moment because you never know
what's gonna be your last one. I know I'm a
long way from Tom, so I'll try to do whatever
I can to get close to that.
Speaker 6 (03:24):
Josh.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
Right now, it's not fun to be the champion to
beat the champs, and we didn't do it tonight. You
can either get it done or you can't, and we
didn't get it done.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
When you look at this rivalry Josh Allen and Patrick Mahomes,
we have entered into the statistical categories of one quarterback
looking for a three peet of a Super Bowls and
one quarterback who is entering first seven seasons and never
reaching a title game, most playoff wins. That's Josh Allen.
It is jarring it is emotionally the high and the
(03:57):
low is wild. What does this one mean for the
Josh Allen and Patrick Mahomes experience Peter that we know
all too well.
Speaker 4 (04:06):
I think we saw a different version of Mahomes yesterday
and in the post game. He didn't say anything that
was inflammatory, he didn't do anything that you would think
it was out of the norm for him.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
He just got the job done.
Speaker 4 (04:18):
Then he went on his Twitter and basically had the
Kermit sipping the tea. I think Mahomes here's it all.
I think Mahomes saw when the NFL Network had its
top one hundred players list and he wasn't voted in
the top three after winning his second straight Super Bowl.
I think Patrick Mahomes saw that he didn't get a
single first team All Pro vote at quarterback this year,
(04:40):
despite the fact he lost one regular season game. I
think Patrick Mahomes watched from afar as there was a
blood thirsty debate over whether Josh Allen or Lamar Jackson
was the best player in football this season, and he
wasn't included in a single one of those conversations. I
think Patrick Mahomes saw the MVP finalists for NFL Honors
(05:04):
and saw that not only was Kansas City chief not mentioned,
he wasn't even considered. Patrick Mahomes has not been mentioned.
Patrick Mahomes has not been considered, and Patrick Mahomes has
not been voted in any of these postseason awards where
it's just littered with Ravens and Bills and Eagles.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
I also think Patrick.
Speaker 4 (05:25):
Mahomes might have read or heard a few narratives about
the officiating and how the Chiefs get the benefit of
the call, and that he gets the benefit of the call.
So much so that I think Patrick Mahomes Mahomes, a
player who does not need any extra motivation, had extra
motivation yesterday and has extra motivation now. For Patrick Mahomes
(05:46):
to tweet the meme of Kermit, who many say he
sounds like sipping the tea after the game, it tells
me he saw it all, he read it all, and he.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
Absorbed it all.
Speaker 4 (05:58):
This is a different version of Mahomes. I think Patrick Mahomes,
who is very happily married, has three wonderful chills LDN
and has all the personal and team accolades you can imagine,
is ready to perhaps wear the black hat. No quarterback
has ever won three straight Super Bowls. Patrick Mahomes is
now fourteen days away of saying he was that guy.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
And I think he likes the fact.
Speaker 4 (06:22):
That the NFL fans are against him, the NFL voters
are against him, and maybe they think that this guy's
been getting the benefit of the doubt. I like this
version of Mahomes. It's almost like he's going to the
dark side a little bit. He's leaning in, and I'm
here for it.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
It's really well said, Peter, It's really well said.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
I want to say something, just go on the record
now that we're going to next two weeks, we'll.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
Talk about the Chiefs.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
There is a widespread sentiments going into these games and
coming out of him that please, like Josh Allen, be
the hero, not for the Buffalo Bills, but for the
planet Earth, for the United States, for every football fan.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
Please beat the Chiefs.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
And you can pull up every Internet joke about and
you show the country and who they're rooting for this time.
Little thing in Missouri and Kansas is rooting for the
Chiefs and everyone else is rooting against them openly.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
I do not feel that way. I do not agree
with that. I am a.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
Bills enthusiast of sorts, but there is no part of
this as the Chiefs. I'm sick of it. And if
you're looking for that from this show, certainly from me.
Don't come to me for that. I do not feel
that way. I am not here to say that, here
to say I have huge respect for a quarterback who.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
Is seventeen and three in the.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
Playoffs, in playoff games, who has won nine straight playoff games,
nine straight. That is the fifth straight win this team
in This quarterback is having the playoffs by single digits.
That's the longest streak in NFL history. Patrick Mahomes has
seventeen playoff wins. He's already halfway pretty much to Brady's record,
and he's still in his twenties. I am not gonna
(07:54):
come here and say they suck. They're the dark Empire,
this evil dynasty. No, no, no, no, This is the inevitable
stage of any dynasty. You always reach this. And if
you're screaming about officials, go ahead and do it. If
it makes you feel better, I bet it makes you
feel worse. The Patriots, they finally got to their cheaters.
The Yankees bought all their championships, and the Chiefs get
(08:15):
all the calls.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
From the referees. That is how it is.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
You can't really find the dynasty where it doesn't something
creep up like that. Just the best part is if
they drive you crazy, though, if you really hate the Chiefs,
and you're hating me right now for saying this, at
some point they will lose. At some point, someone's gonna
get them. I don't know when, and I don't know who,
but when they do, it will be historic. It will
be so satisfying for you, the hater, that they finally
(08:40):
got them, and it's like Goldberg's unconscious and they spray
paint nWo across his chest. It'll be the most glorious win.
And then you'll have your moment. Someone will get them, Okay.
And of course, of course I'm a human being. I
talked about the NFL for a living. I would have
liked to see something fresh. Of course, of course we've
(09:00):
talked a lot about the cheese, We've talked a lot
about the Eagles. Something fresh to chew on and to
talk about. But you know what I respect about the Chiefs.
They don't give a damn. They don't care that you're
sick of them or that I want something fresh, or
that people are bored with them. They're embracing it. We don't, Kevin, Damn.
We're gonna win anyway, and I have to respect them.
You might hate them, you might not even respect them.
(09:22):
I respect them and I respect We're seeing two teams
in the super Bowl but no one wanted. Who are
combined thirty four and five and we'll probably have a
hell of a game. That's where I come out. If
you're coming from the Chiefs hate for me, I'm not
giving it to you. I have nothing but respect, you know.
I sorry, not sorry.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
I've go p'vin early on the Chiefs run.
Speaker 4 (09:38):
Obviously, I've picked them to win the super Bowl. The
years they've won the Super Bowl, I picked them in
the Super Bowl. Before this season, the Bills fans have
been chirping a lot at me because I had the
Jets winning the AFC East. This year, the Bills fans
have been very vocal. The Bills fans had America behind them, Kyle,
in many ways, you've been a voice for the Bills
fans too. Do you have a message to those fans
who are hurt and watching at home today.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
Just keep throwing punches guys, what are you gonna do?
Keep throwing punches? You didn't have it this year. Listen,
it's tough, and Isaiah I do Nobody wants to hear that.
They just went into Kansas City. They outrushed them, They
made Mahomes make a few mistakes, they didn't miss a
kick and they still lost. So Cheez didn't turn the
ball over. No, it's like, what can we do? And
Bills Fans is sitting there this morning, be like, I
(10:20):
don't know how else we're going to do this thing.
And my last note, if you're looking for me to
come here on this morning, anybody, just say it's time
to look at Sean McDermott. You're bleeping crazy. You are nuts.
You are not say like Sean McDermott. You were just
in the title game. Do you remember what it used
to be like? You remember what it was like before McDermott.
It was a wasteland. You guys had nothing. You were
(10:40):
just you can't beat the Chiefs. So should they fire
John Harbaugh too? They just fire everybody who's not Andy Reid. Ridiculous.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
I know everyone's emotional and reactionary. If you're coming for.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
Sean mcdermot's had you need to check your own Okay,
that's my message this morning, Isaiah.
Speaker 5 (10:52):
Please, yeah, I totally agree with you.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
Now, he is one heck of a coach.
Speaker 5 (10:55):
And if you guys have any questions in regards to
his ability to coach, go listen to the postgame interview
where Andy Reid gave him nothing but respect. That dude
knows how to coach. He keeps put them in a
position to go out against Patrick Mahomes and try to
get the win. Obviously it didn't happen yesterday, but you know,
I think they're gonna have to continue to channel their
inner apocalypto right now because right now, all you can
(11:16):
continue to say is they call you almost right. And
I hate to say that for the Buffalo Bills, but
right now, that's all you can do is call them
almost And they have done what they can do. During
the regular season. They can they have done what they
can do. In the postseason. They've done what they can
do in terms of acquisitions. You guys, remember they went
back in and got Amari Cooper to be able to
be in these situations to help put them over the edge.
(11:36):
But they still are going to be referred to as
almost it wasn't enough. I think we need to invite
them out their whiteboard Wednesdays because they have to continue
to try to find what is that next edge we
can We don't have the wisdom of an Andy Reid, right,
we don't have the wisdom of a spagnolia. So we
need to continue to add players. Where are we failing
at that we keep coming up short against this regime?
(11:59):
And I don't know what it is right now, but
I know that they're gonna have to go back and
find out exactly what spot can be filed and what
exactly is going to put them way over the edge
to ensure that they have the best possible chance to
be going to the super Bowl because coming up short,
as you see from Josh Allen, it is wearing on
them emotionally.
Speaker 3 (12:17):
I like that quote that Mahomes had after the game,
just in reference to I'm nowhere near Tom Brady. I'm
going to do everything I can to inch closer to
what Brady accomplished from a super Bowl perspective. I have
to imagine Andy Reid feels the same about Bill Belichick
and what he can do. In the All Time List conversation,
if we're going to talk about Sean McDermott and how
great he is, Big Red, you are awesome. You are
back in a super Bowl again, and you just continue
(12:39):
to make history and move your name up that list,
and once again you got to go against your former team.
A lot more to talk about here on GMFBE that
was just the AFC side of things. Don't worry, we
got you. We got you Eagles fans, Commanders fans. Maybe
we can write you a love letter as well. After
the season that you had that was awesome. You got
yourselves a quarterback, you got yourselves a great coach. We're
going to look at Jayden Daniels, dan Quinn. The future
(13:02):
is brighton DC. But also if the Eagles.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
Move on, Pap I didn't give a game ball after
weekend like that, you get the team together in the
locker room, you hold up the ball and says, I
want to give it to this guy. It's a tough,
tough choice, but that's what they bring us in for, folks,
we got to make them right after this, we're handing
them out.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
It's not going to Jaydan Daniels, but maybe that.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
Guy, maybe someone tackling Jayon Daniels or maybe some of
the AFC.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
Who would you give your game ball to? Right after this?
Good mon football?
Speaker 1 (13:39):
All here we go NFC title game, all this bill
up to those two quarterbacks, I think maybe you might
have predicted the Eagles could be there.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
Beginning of the season.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
One was saying Washington though, but after an incredible drive
to start three to zero, this is the first play
from the scrimmage for the Eagles, and he gone trying
to think of a running back. In the last decade,
it's been as fun to watch a Saquon Barkley.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
I mean, you know, Derek Henry has been amazing. There's
been some great ones. I just to watch watch. I
used to love watching Levy on Bell. But Saquon right
now doing a fantastic thing. Fifty five twenty three.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
They went by a lot and afterwards the losing quarterback,
Jaydon Daniels, did not hope back about his disappointment.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
They put a banner up obviously.
Speaker 8 (14:19):
Man it sucks, man, it sucks. Excuse my language, but
just I come be proud of the guys in the
locker room. You know, just year one, everybody not really
knowing each other. Rookie the best of the tremendous job
of you know, bringing us in and helping us out,
and we all just meshed and you know, we got
to this point. But at the end of the day, man,
(14:39):
you know, we lost it. It sucks, but we'll move
on from this.
Speaker 3 (14:44):
You didn't see that version of Jaydon Daniels a lot
this season. It's because the commander is their offense. Their
team was awesome to watch for that rookie quarterback. He
could have made history.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
Comes up short.
Speaker 3 (14:53):
We have never seen a rookie quarterback start a Super Bowl.
We will not this season. It's Eagles Chiefs. But let's
take a minute and look at what Washington was able
to accomplish. Or Peter, if you want to go the
other direction with he goes you cab. But we got
some time to spend here with Washington where the future
is really bright at the quarterback spot.
Speaker 4 (15:10):
I think this was a really cool ride and a
really special team. But I do think they are going
to be everybody's bandwagon squad going into next year because
for good reason, they have huge salary cap availability where
they can actually bring in more skill position players in
a year that has a lot of attractive free agents
at wide receiver and tight end. You also mentioned that
(15:30):
Jaden Daniels he played well yesterday. They turned the ball
over a bunch. Jaden Daniels was great yesterday.
Speaker 2 (15:37):
You're a Commander's fan. Life is good.
Speaker 4 (15:39):
One more note, Cliff Kingsbury and Daniels had this incredible connection.
Cliff did not interview for any of these jobs. He
wasn't asked to interview for some and the ones that
thinks and I'm going to wait until after our season,
well their season went into basically February, and those.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
Jobs are filled, so he's coming back.
Speaker 4 (15:54):
There's a lot to like about this Commander's team.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
The one note I will make not that it was
lightning in a.
Speaker 4 (15:59):
Bottle, but it was really cool to see like Bobby
Wagner get another shot at almost getting to it Super
Bowl and Zach Ertz almost.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
Getting to another Super Bowl. Even some guys.
Speaker 4 (16:10):
Who aren't in the same class as that as far
as years in the league, but like Austin Eckler, we
don't know if he's ever going to get this far
again in his career. And players that we have learned
to love from those Chiefs teams and.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
Wiley and Ala Ghretti.
Speaker 4 (16:22):
This is a really good team that's made of young
players but also veterans. But I think with the way
that Adam Peters built this thing this year and the
salary cap room they have going into next year, they're
going to be an attractive free agent destination.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
They will be better on paper next year.
Speaker 4 (16:38):
Now, can they catch that lightning in a bottle and
win all those hail marry games and the walk offs?
Speaker 2 (16:43):
I don't know. It's really hard to be great two
years in a row and you're one of these upstart teams.
But they will have a better roster.
Speaker 4 (16:48):
I think a lot of free agents are going to
want to play there, and they're going to spend money
in the offseason.
Speaker 5 (16:52):
I completely agree with you, and I know so because
of Dan Quinn. And I know we're going to talk
about the salary cap for the Washington Commanders. I know
we're going to talk about the new leadership and the ownership,
and you know how you have the blend between young
players and veteran players. Listen up. All those things are true,
but the culture that they have now instilled in Washington
is going to be what attracts all the free agents
(17:12):
to that market and to that team. Jayden Daniels is
going to be the one who attracts these guys to
this team. You think about it, when the most important,
the biggest game of the year, the person who had
the most receptions was zach Ertz, the person who is
most likely closer to the end of their career that
anybody else on their roster. Zach Ertz was your number
one leading receiver yesterday. So you think about the room
that they have to grow and the acquisitions that they're
(17:33):
going to be able to have, not only on the
offense side of the ball, but the defense where dan
Quinn loves to live. These guys are going to be
a problem and they're not gonna have to rely on
Hill Mary's to put them in situational games next year,
because these guys are going to have a roster that's
substantially better than what they have right now.
Speaker 1 (17:48):
You know that it was reported during the game they
had dan Quinn's pregame message to the commanders, and it
really fired me up, and it's just like perfect coaching rhetoric.
Dan Quinn's message was that guys, we're not playing with
house money. We're playing for rent money, and rent is dude,
and I was like, yeah, nal, he delivered it so well, right, No,
he's absolutely stuck the landing during the broadcast, and it's
(18:09):
a vintage dan Quinn thing.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
And you know, I'm tempted to say it's coach talk.
You're playing with house money and you know it. You
got this crazy run. Fine, the season is over.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
But I'm always reminded this time of year that there
is a great myth in the NFL, and that myth is,
as a young great quarterback, you'll get yours.
Speaker 2 (18:27):
Eventually, you'll be back. That's nonsense, guys.
Speaker 1 (18:30):
That's to say that the Jayden Daniels commanders will be
some sort of mainstay late in the playoffs is naive.
It's very naive. It happens all the time. I remember
a few years ago this heartbreaking loss in the Super
Bowl for Joe Burrow. Oh, someone of his talent, he'll
get his he'll be back, Willie, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
You don't know.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
Even somebody last year brock Purty loses an overtime and
it's like, well, you're part of that forty nine ers machine.
You'll be are you sure, brock Perty When you get
a shot, you cash it in. It doesn't matter if
you're a rookie or in your twentieth season. Look, I'll
go further back. A guy who actually won one, Aaron
Rodgers is standing on the podium with Clay Matthews and
a heavyweight belt as the confetti falls, and it's like,
(19:09):
how many will Rogers win? He never even got back
to the game. And it's probably the most talented quarterback.
Speaker 2 (19:14):
Ever before him was Marino.
Speaker 1 (19:16):
Yeah, Marino gets when really young, never makes it back.
So I'm tempted to say, yeah, it's house money, they'll
you don't know. You don't know injuries, you don't know
the opposition. I think dan Quinn was right as hard
as he tried to sell that message of let's cash
it in now.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
We may never be back. They may never be back.
It's not just this assured thing.
Speaker 1 (19:35):
Well, well, their quarterback is good and they have a
coach you everyone likes. So I'm sure you're positive in
the long term future of this ownership group and this
GM group, Like, we love what they did this year,
Now do it again. It's way, way, way, way harder.
There's nothing as assured.
Speaker 3 (19:48):
Yeah, just ask Jalen Hurts. He's the first quarterback to
go back to Super Bowl after losing his first year,
which Jim Kelly did it. So if you look no
further than just in that division and how challenging this
could be, Kyle, I thought you were going to go
that the allure is off the fact they like, don't just.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
Think that all rich quarterbacks could be.
Speaker 3 (20:05):
Like that, because what Jayde and Daniels did just as
a rookie is remarkable.
Speaker 2 (20:09):
Oh, it is remarkable. And Jamie brought up like one
of my favorite things.
Speaker 1 (20:13):
There's a streak that people love on the internet that
if you lose your first Super Bowl as quarterback, you
will never make it back. Now, the first person to
do it after Jim Kelly started with Stan Humphreys in
nineteen ninety four.
Speaker 2 (20:22):
And I can name all the names.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
Everybody can carry Collins to Colin Kaepernick, Donovan McNabb did,
Jared Goff to Joe but Chris Chandler, so many of them.
That streak is now over. Jalen Hurts just finally broke
the streak. It's an amazing thing that he did. And
we'll talk about Jalen Hurts a lot in the next
couple of weeks. In the meantime, Jane Daniels can sit
here and say I had the best rookie season in
(20:43):
NFL history for a quarterback. It's an amazing, amazing year.
But still no rookie ever to start the Super Bowl ever,
Shadur you're up, buddy.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
Go get him.
Speaker 3 (20:52):
Come on, and I venture a guess. Despite how magical
he was, and Jane Daniels did get a couple of
our game balls this season. He does not get one
from over the weekend from Championship Sunday. I have a
prop we will give these out. It is game ball
on gmf FE. This was handed to me live in
the middle of the segment because I don't think you
understand what we're doing unless I'm holding the ball.
Speaker 2 (21:12):
Can oh God, look in front of mockle game balls.
Let's go.
Speaker 3 (21:16):
That trophy looks awesome because there's a golden crusted ball
sitting right on top of it.
Speaker 2 (21:20):
It's like this, but instead we go.
Speaker 3 (21:22):
Game balls or a conference championship edition.
Speaker 2 (21:25):
I'm going to follow the rules.
Speaker 3 (21:26):
I think Isaiah, you're first, all right, I will take.
Speaker 5 (21:28):
This hut all right.
Speaker 2 (21:28):
Here we go like this.
Speaker 5 (21:29):
My first game ball goes to probably the man that
everybody's gonna say or what normally say, and that is
Patrick Mahomes. And the reason why Patrick Mahomes gets his
ball is because he's just a dude and he does
at every single year. Not only does he do it
through the air like everybody talks about most of the time,
but yesterday he did majority of it with his legs.
This dude was on the ground eleven times forty three
(21:51):
yards two tunnies with his legs.
Speaker 9 (21:53):
I mean.
Speaker 5 (21:53):
Then he also had eight different receivers they threw the
ball to on twenty five different passes. This dude was
not only dispersing the ball, but he was utilizing his
legs and make the plays however they need to win
ball games. They put it in his hands that he
always comes through me.
Speaker 4 (22:08):
Peter, Well, if you're gonna go offense, I'm gonna go defense.
And I might get emotional here and I wouldn't be
the only guy to do it, because last night I
was living and dying on every Chris Jones tier that
we saw during the anthem. We start this off and
Chris Jones is so emotional that he's crying no Sean moreno,
(22:29):
like tears right there to goa and then in the
biggest game, of the season. Chris Jones was simply unblockable.
He was unbelievable last night. That defensive line had Josh
Allen sawd on these short yardage plays, and Jones is the.
Speaker 2 (22:42):
Anchor of it all. He is the third of me Goo.
Speaker 4 (22:45):
If you're gonna say it's Mahomes and Kelsey, Chris Jones
is there every step of the way this entire run.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
And then after the game, there he was again, crying,
Chris Jones, stone cold. We see you, We appreciate you.
What a fine player.
Speaker 4 (22:58):
You are, maybe the most underrated chief of this era.
Chris Jones, a dominant defensetive player who made his presence
felt and got quite emotional during the whole deal.
Speaker 3 (23:08):
Most accessible tiers in the NFL. That's what Chris Jones
takes away from the weekend, from the postseason. My game
ball goes to a rookie on defense with Philadelphia Eagles
and Quinjon Mitchell. Last week on this show, I did
a top five Jaden Daniels plays, and frankly it could
have been top five Jane Daniels and Terry McLaurin. Look
at what Quinnon Mitchell did against Terry McLaurin. Four times only.
(23:30):
He was targeted on thirty six routes ran by the
Star Commander's wide receiver. He had one catch good for
seven yards, and one of those balls was picked off
in the end zone by Quinnon Mitchell and the staff
that you do not see listed on that screen. After
this pick was celebrations mocked one because Quinnon Mitchell did
(23:51):
the peekaboo that Terry McLaurin likes to do, and then
the Saquon Everyone freaked out because he did the Saquon celebration.
But after Quinnyon went up and got this ball, like
a wide receiver, he pops up and Terry McLaurin, whether
or he was trying to be say, he does the peekaboo,
and he did it right over top of seventeen.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
He took that ball.
Speaker 5 (24:09):
That is mine.
Speaker 3 (24:10):
I am a rookie. You're playing like a sophomore, Quinnyon Mitchell,
you may very well be when this thing is all
said and done, the greatest player to.
Speaker 4 (24:16):
Come out of the MAC.
Speaker 2 (24:17):
We'll see it's a good game.
Speaker 1 (24:18):
But I'm just watching that this is this rookie defensive
back who's part of this Eagles machine. I know Mahomes
has one nine straight playoff games. The Eagles are so good,
they are so talented and so deep. I am so
excited for this game. I'm into it. I'm ready. How
long do we have to wait? Thirteen days or something
like that. All right, I'm going to get my game
ball to Saquon Barkley because we've talked a lot this
year about what clubs he joins and what honors he earns.
(24:38):
He's in the two thousand yard club. He's a win
away from joining another club, and that's a very exclusive club.
Speaker 2 (24:44):
Of running backs who have carried their teams.
Speaker 1 (24:47):
To Super Bowl champions Stamp championships. It's very rare when
it's like the running back is the guy.
Speaker 7 (24:53):
You know.
Speaker 2 (24:53):
I was looking at it.
Speaker 1 (24:54):
I was thinking about you might want to say Marshawn
on Seattle. That was the legion of boom. That was
really what jumped out from them. Jerome Bettis was late
in his career when they won it. He wasn't the
superstar in that team. I would go so all the
way back to Terrell Davis as the number one guy
for Old John l Way to win them back to
back Super Bowls, and he was the guy.
Speaker 2 (25:11):
You know.
Speaker 1 (25:11):
That's the show. That's the number one threat. That's the
guy we have to stop. You watch Saquon and as
much as you love Jalen and AJ Brown, et cetera,
he is the guy. He is the best player I
think on their team and any position on either side
of the ball.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
And all he has done is show up for.
Speaker 1 (25:24):
His first extended playoff run ever and just been absolutely electric.
He waited all of ten seconds to bust his latest
sixty plus yard run.
Speaker 2 (25:32):
Saquon another really cool club. Await.
Speaker 1 (25:34):
You haven't think we've seen it since TD was mile
high saluting. Now you go to New Orleans, see if
you can finish this thing. Game ball Saquon Barkley number
twenty six.
Speaker 3 (25:41):
I like that force hug between Saquon. He's like, no
wide receivers, you will hug me. You love me, I
help us all all right? The Eagles are going to
New Orleans. They're playing in thirteen days. We're here for
you still to come. Look at that first pass at
the New Orleans Super Bowl poster Chiefs Eagles and Jalen
Hurts gets the quarterback treatment up Top.
Speaker 2 (26:13):
Football. Every week on this show, we gave out our
Coach of the Week award. And it's no different for
this one.
Speaker 4 (26:20):
Just two weeks before Super Bowl, and the coach of
the Week for the Conference Championship round is Big Red himself.
All right, Andy Reid gets our award for Coach of
the Week for getting back to the big game and
doing it against his former team. And he'll have to
do it for the second time in three years. Andy
Reid started off as the coach of the Eagles and
had many, many fine years. There's John Harbaugh Conference championship
(26:45):
after conference championship, got to a Super Bowl, lost to
the Patriots. Of course he had to o and McNab
goes down there, ends with Philadelphia, comes back to Kansas City,
and then sure enough goes and coaches against the Eagles two.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
Years ago in Arizona, his former.
Speaker 4 (27:02):
Team, and he would get the victim in that Super Bowl. Well, somehow,
some way, you can't even write this stuff. To go
and be the first head coach to ever have a
three p to ever win three in a row, he'll
have to bookend that three peat with a win over
the Eagles, and then yet another win over the Eagles.
(27:25):
He is currently the only head coach in the game
who is even within breathing distance of the all time
record for wins, but the rings might matter more. Andy
Reid gets yet another team to the Super Bowl, and
in less than two weeks we will find out if
he is the first ever NFL head coach to win
(27:47):
three awesome great.
Speaker 2 (27:48):
Sherry Burris, big Red's going back. Where's the show will
be to celebrate?
Speaker 4 (27:54):
I think he said it was a gut wrenching win,
and I'm someone who knows about a gut.
Speaker 2 (27:58):
I'm like, jeez, Andy even throwing a joke in the
biggest of moments.
Speaker 4 (28:02):
But in all seriousness, what an amazing for an amazing
man and an amazing coach.
Speaker 2 (28:06):
Andy Reid, big Red's going back to the big days.
Speaker 10 (28:08):
Yes, he has been so spectacular to watch and more
from that game, as Casey won defensive end, Charles and
many you capped an emotional comeback he suffered to an
ACL in last year's AFC Championship game. He spoke with
our Sarah Walsh after the win about getting yet another
chance to finally play in a Super Bowl title game.
Speaker 3 (28:28):
Charles, a year ago, in this game, you tore your ACL.
Speaker 2 (28:32):
A year later, you are back. You are going back
to the Super Bowl.
Speaker 9 (28:36):
Bruh. God is so good. God is so good to
be able to make plays to help the team win.
And that's all I wanted.
Speaker 2 (28:43):
I just told myself, like I remember when I was in.
Speaker 9 (28:46):
My Green Love Soup Jump Soup, and I was saying,
to look like somebody not going super I had no idea,
I told my ahl. Now I can look at the
camera and say, do it look like somebody had not
played in the Super Bowl?
Speaker 2 (28:56):
I am God is good. Bro.
Speaker 9 (28:58):
Much love to Chief Kingdom seem Boilers.
Speaker 8 (29:00):
Yeah, you said how tough it was to watch them
play that game without you.
Speaker 2 (29:05):
What's it going to be like in two weeks before it?
Speaker 9 (29:08):
I don't even I've never played the game that big,
so I'm it's gonna before it, man. But it's been
my dream, says being like coming to the lead to
play in the biggest stage and to help a team,
helping organization make history.
Speaker 2 (29:22):
We gotta do it.
Speaker 10 (29:23):
That's why we love the game. I actually spoke to
him last year at media day just before he had
his ACL surgery.
Speaker 2 (29:29):
He was not that animated.
Speaker 10 (29:31):
Let me tell you still to come though the place
from Championship.
Speaker 2 (29:34):
Weekend having us scratch our heads.
Speaker 10 (29:36):
What just happened more Good morning football on.
Speaker 3 (29:38):
The way guys, head Scratcher's time. Here we go from Sunday, Peter,
what are you thinking about still?
Speaker 4 (29:44):
You know, I think a lot of people are talking
just about what you just mentioned Kelsey and Swift and
how it's been overexposed and we're sick of them. And
I was like, all right, Travis didn't have the biggest game,
and yet he's on the podium afterwards they give him
the microphone. I'm like, all right, maybe he's just a
little bit like lower key and maybe just kind of
like taking it all in.
Speaker 2 (30:02):
It might be his last one. We don't know, maybe
a different.
Speaker 4 (30:04):
Wiser, older, more reserved, almost Travis Kelcey. Here was Travis
Kelcey on the podium. I thought it was It was
actually really interesting.
Speaker 11 (30:12):
All right, before you gots get out of here, just
do a little.
Speaker 5 (30:17):
Make a little love.
Speaker 2 (30:21):
Yeah, get down tonight.
Speaker 1 (30:27):
How badly did Jim nance want to grab that microphone
and look at the camera.
Speaker 2 (30:30):
Go and get down tonight and Jim make a little love.
Speaker 3 (30:37):
They did not, It is yeah, they did not pan
back to his girlfriend going like this like oh no.
Speaker 5 (30:41):
No, no, no.
Speaker 3 (30:42):
One followed it up very well for you. Mine comes
from that game as well. A couple of minutes prior.
We have a gentleman, an athlete that could have played
in the NFL and been one of the greatest quarterbacks
ever or played professional baseball, attempting to do a spike
that went wrong.
Speaker 2 (30:56):
If only there was a machine.
Speaker 3 (30:58):
Guys that we had, that could tell us how strong
this spike could have been. Patrick Mahomes, what are you doing?
You punched this in That ball was supposed to go
into the ground.
Speaker 2 (31:07):
It did not.
Speaker 3 (31:07):
It looked like a professional fastball. Huzzah, he tweets after
the game. Mahomes gets on X I also apologize. That
is why I don't try to spike the ball. I
think if you're Mahomes and you're winning all these super Bowls,
you're going for a three peat.
Speaker 2 (31:21):
Isaiah, I think he's.
Speaker 3 (31:22):
Just been like, no, no, I I was meant this
for a one hundred millars fastball. It wasn't supposed to
be a spike. What are you guys doing? We would
have bought it. Why did you give yourself up?
Speaker 2 (31:30):
Mahomes?
Speaker 3 (31:30):
That's my head scratcher.
Speaker 2 (31:31):
You don't don't tell me why.
Speaker 5 (31:32):
That's why the fall through was nice though.
Speaker 2 (31:34):
You see the back lag come up?
Speaker 5 (31:35):
Yeah, exactly, say the baseball background for sure. Not so
much in the game, but after the game, right, everybody
finds out exactly who's going to be the matchup for
the Super Bowl. And then you wait on the poster, right,
everybody wants to see it exectly what the market is
going to be? What is the matchup poster? Let's let's
go ahead and take a look. This one has my
hands scrap I they.
Speaker 4 (31:50):
Had just changed his by the way, I definitely just
change it.
Speaker 5 (31:52):
When you guys look at it.
Speaker 2 (31:53):
Look at the Philadelphia Eagles side.
Speaker 5 (31:54):
Okay, obviously all right, you got Jalen Hurst, Yeah you
got sa Quand okay, yeah Brown, big play slave. I
have no beef there. I have no beef with big
play Slave. But I do have bea with the fact
that Zach bonm Come, the defensive MBPS Canada, is not
in this poster. How hell say? How slay? I don't know,
but I know that zag vond he's earned his way.
(32:16):
Just add him right right above the Eagle.
Speaker 2 (32:17):
He deserves to be on that post qualifies it.
Speaker 3 (32:20):
How dare they?
Speaker 2 (32:20):
How do they eliminate bond that.
Speaker 1 (32:22):
Is such a good take. That is such a great take.
We should actually remedy, if only for our show. We
should have Bond on the poster.
Speaker 2 (32:27):
And we love Slay.
Speaker 1 (32:28):
All right, Frankie Luvu is still diving over the egles
off but he's still doing it.
Speaker 2 (32:32):
Guys.
Speaker 1 (32:32):
This is the almost unbelievable sequence that happened late in
this game.
Speaker 2 (32:35):
So here we go.
Speaker 1 (32:36):
The Eagles are about to punch one in and watch
Lubu on the left. He keeps trying to do the
Polo malu and he keeps mistiming it, and so they
flag him and they flag him and they flag him,
and it just no matter how many times they flag them,
it kept doing it.
Speaker 2 (32:49):
So then the official makes this announcement. Here's announcement number one.
Speaker 11 (32:55):
Encroachment defense number four Washington has been worn.
Speaker 2 (33:00):
The dot fowl is intentionally done again.
Speaker 5 (33:02):
It will be an unsportsmanlike conduct fole.
Speaker 2 (33:04):
For now it's top to.
Speaker 5 (33:05):
The east of the goal and it is still second down.
Speaker 2 (33:09):
All right, makes sense.
Speaker 1 (33:10):
You keep doing that, it's gonna be on sports from
like conduct. Well, they keep jumping off sides. They're just
trying to stop them, and there's nothing really the officials
can do because the ball is already on the goal line,
so the next announcement blew everybody's mind and lit up
every text chain in America.
Speaker 2 (33:23):
Go ahead.
Speaker 11 (33:26):
Approachman Defense number ninety three. Washington has been advised that
at some point, the referee can award a score if
this type of behavior act happens again.
Speaker 5 (33:37):
For now, it's a replay of second down.
Speaker 2 (33:40):
I'm sorry, did you say they could award a score.
Speaker 1 (33:42):
No one in the world I've ever heard of or met,
has ever heard of the official saying touchdown even though
you didn't score one. However, Rule twelve, Section three, Article
two speaks of an a palpably unfair act in which
the ball is already on the goal line, and let's say,
for example, the defense has nothing to lose, so they
decide to just grab the receivers on every play, because
(34:03):
what are they going to do penethalize with yardage. No,
the referees reserve the right the officials do, just say
enough of this touchdown, get off the field. I don't
know how they score it. I don't know who gets
credit for the touchdown, but people started texting and talking
about it.
Speaker 2 (34:15):
Has this ever happened before in the NFL? Okay, now,
hold on.
Speaker 1 (34:19):
The answer is no, they have never awarded a touchdown
for one that wasn't scored. But it has happened at
the college level. And hold the video tape in the
nineteen fifty four Cotton Bowl. This is Rice versus the
bart Star Alabama Crimson Tide.
Speaker 2 (34:35):
It happened, and you will not believe.
Speaker 1 (34:37):
How it happened. And we have the video tape. Show
me the nineteen fifty four Cotton Bowl. You're gonna see
Rice's Dicky Magel is gonna break a run against Alabama
down the sidelines. A legendary will watch forty seven. Watch
what happens on this play. You will not believe it happens.
Speaker 2 (34:52):
Three two, one.
Speaker 1 (34:55):
Oh whoaou That is Tommy Lewis off the sideline, taking
him out with a hit and.
Speaker 2 (35:02):
Then going right than that eventually nothing.
Speaker 1 (35:05):
So again, Dicky Magle's in the clear, he's going to score,
and Tommy Lewis, who is on the bench, not on
the pitch, makes a beautiful tackle which actually injured Magel.
Speaker 2 (35:16):
The official said touchdown.
Speaker 1 (35:18):
They called it a touchdown for a palpably unfair act.
And this, as far as we know, is the last
time this has ever been called in any level of
football game, never NFL, but the fifty four Cotton boll.
Later Tommy Lewis, who just ran off the sideline, would say,
I was just too full of Alabama to let him do.
Speaker 2 (35:37):
Who from the production staff helped you find that Bill
Henschell and all his married men and women.
Speaker 1 (35:42):
That's what Dicky Magle rice howse Look how proud.
Speaker 5 (35:46):
He is when he gets back to the THI yeah,
I did that, Yeah I did that.
Speaker 2 (35:50):
All right? Do you come three?
Speaker 5 (35:52):
