Speaker 1 (00:04):
Good Morning Football is the production of the NFL in
partnership with iHeartRadio.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
Good Morning Football, and I.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
Have to throw to some sound from yesterday about Kyle
pointing out a certain Seahawks fan that wasn't very happy
with us. Good thing we have because Manti's at our
class right now.
Speaker 4 (00:34):
I received a message last week, my friends, from a
loyal viewer of the show named Cassie. I'm going to
read it to you right now. This is someone who
watches the show.
Speaker 5 (00:42):
Bring it up, and.
Speaker 4 (00:42):
I'm going to read this verbatim because it's kind of
like a comment box.
Speaker 5 (00:46):
I watched MFB every day and half for several years.
Speaker 4 (00:48):
Your coverage of my team is deplorable and disappointing.
Speaker 5 (00:52):
I am a.
Speaker 4 (00:52):
Seahawks fan, and you guys almost never cover them, even
when they have a great game, and they had just
rarely talked about. I was surprised to even see them
in a few of your predictions for possible Super Bowl contenders.
Speaker 5 (01:03):
But Kyle, a little coverage would be nice. Come on, throw.
Speaker 4 (01:07):
At the bone every now and then, double exclamation point, Cassie.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
We gave you three bonus minutes individually on the Seahawks
yesterday let's lean into this theme though, Manti, Mike, g
and Kyle pick a team that you vow and dive
out talk about more.
Speaker 5 (01:25):
And I vow to talk about the hood ats.
Speaker 6 (01:27):
I will talk more about the Saints list and it's
locome to call myself a Saint, but I think that
Spencer Rattler has been playing very, very well. Obviously, there's
a lot of rumors about Alvin Kamara and will he
be in New Orleans or not. I hope that he
stays in New Orleans because he's one of those pillars
in the community that I love to see in who
(01:47):
that uniform. So to Kb's point, why would I want
to talk about the Saints Because I love the Saints.
I am a Saint, and I hope that the next
few days when we win some games.
Speaker 5 (02:00):
So I got the hood ats Anty.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
I'm not going to tell you the votes that we're
going to out of my ear.
Speaker 5 (02:04):
Mike you you continue, Yeah, let's balance this one. I'm
gonna go hey, you go hey.
Speaker 7 (02:10):
Every time I draw the Colts logo reminds me of
that Wonder Year's episode where they're in Jim's class.
Speaker 5 (02:14):
If you have to year, nice get up.
Speaker 7 (02:16):
We had a segment last week where we did our
top five, and I put the Colts in there like
somewhere around three or four or something like that.
Speaker 5 (02:22):
I said, they haven't beaten him.
Speaker 7 (02:26):
Look at the NFL this year, and that was the
point of the segment last year, and there are no
great teams at some point, and they did beat in
my opinion, a good team on the road here.
Speaker 5 (02:33):
In the Chargers. At some point I go, you know what,
that's all out the window. They're taking care of business.
A lot of other teams aren't taking care of business. Colts,
I apologize.
Speaker 7 (02:43):
I vow I swear, which I still love the Minion's
version underwear of I Swear.
Speaker 5 (02:48):
It's great, fantastic, But Colts, I promise more of you.
I'm just taking full circle, Jamie. It's right.
Speaker 4 (02:54):
There's still the Seahawks. It's still the Seahawks. A great record,
great team. And when I was screaming about that yesterday,
when we ran Cassi's email and we were talking about
the Seahawks, it goes out on social media and there's
two different responses. One just the deliberate stubborn haters saying
worst five, and two team ever worse five. I find
(03:16):
you can have your opinion. But then the other one
that I didn't appreciate was from Seahawks fans themselves saying,
we don't want your support. You're on the bandwagon. Now
they've won some games. Now you're finally talking about them.
Oh Contrea, my friend. Let's go back to NFL films
in August September, before we even played a game.
Speaker 5 (03:33):
Roll the clip and.
Speaker 4 (03:34):
The FC West, NFC West. I see it over here,
see a gold helmet. I see a beautiful sterling blue helmet.
Still feels like the best buy color scheme, but that's okay.
You know who I think is going to win the
NFC West? Would you like to know? Would you like
to know?
Speaker 5 (03:50):
Boom the Seattle Seahawks.
Speaker 4 (03:52):
I've got the Seahawks winning the West, the Seahawks ten
wins last year.
Speaker 5 (03:58):
Yes, quarterback change, but I.
Speaker 4 (04:00):
Like how they play defense. I'd like to run the ball.
This is not going to be a popular pick. I
know there are Niners fans wondering what drug I'm on
right now.
Speaker 5 (04:07):
Just the drug of football.
Speaker 4 (04:10):
Let me tell you something that's not easy to do.
You look down at those helmets. There's some sterling and
attractive helmets. In the NFC West to look down at
that Niners gold and that Sean McVay rams and to
choose the Seahawks.
Speaker 5 (04:20):
And I did it anyways, And.
Speaker 4 (04:21):
If you want to direct your ranker somewhere, when I
did it, one person on the show goes, what and
she's in LA right now because I have the audacity
to pick the NFC West champion Seahawks.
Speaker 5 (04:31):
You got hit with the shrappingl on that one, Jake.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
Yeah, I have nothing to say to that, I really know.
Speaker 5 (04:36):
And yes, you're right. What do you mean fund yourself?
Speaker 2 (04:39):
I don't want to. You're right.
Speaker 3 (04:41):
I look down and I put the Niners in. I
think you know what I'm having, like a blackout moment
from when we made our predictions.
Speaker 8 (04:47):
Well done, Kyle.
Speaker 9 (04:48):
I know you.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
Oftentimes say like, don't look back too much on predictions,
don't patch yourself on the back, but I guess sometimes
when it suits yourself in a segment and it is
an easily clippable moment. Do you want to say anything
else about how right you were about any of your
other prediction?
Speaker 5 (05:04):
No?
Speaker 4 (05:04):
No, the one I don't Jamie, the ones I don't
like to look back on on the ones you mess up.
Speaker 5 (05:08):
You ignore those. Everybody makes terrible predictions.
Speaker 4 (05:11):
But if you put yourself out there, you and any
of us, hell yeah, beat your chest a little bit.
Speaker 5 (05:15):
The bad ones forget those. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
I think my exst exast to whatever word what was
because thank you trying to make good TV in which
I learned from Kyle Brant, so like.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
Why so dramatic?
Speaker 5 (05:26):
You know, I'm just point thanks.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
Moving on yesterday, let's have another clip from the show Former.
This is so sad to performer in front of it,
but it's good for the Eagles. Brandon Graham announced his unretirement,
announced his return to the Eagles. He did so on
GMFB over time.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
I'm going to appreciate even more so.
Speaker 5 (05:45):
Of course I'm gonna be chirping. Of course, I'm.
Speaker 7 (05:48):
Going our teammates, my teammates soon as that first player
practice come.
Speaker 5 (05:53):
Y'all thought this was over, y'all thought I would finish, You.
Speaker 4 (05:56):
Know, Yeah, I can't wait to this. You got to
bring the fun to a game that we love, and
it's fun especially when you win.
Speaker 5 (06:04):
And man, we got winners on his team, and I can't.
Speaker 4 (06:07):
Wait to just be a part of the makeup of
what they are already been.
Speaker 3 (06:10):
Doing okay, So we asked Meg, it's gonna take him
a couple of weeks to ramp up, if you will.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
But there is a list of.
Speaker 3 (06:16):
Players that filed their papers this summer or in the
past couple of years that you must have one that
you want to unretire to come and help a team
out the season.
Speaker 5 (06:24):
Man, I already see your answer. I can't believe you're
doing this.
Speaker 6 (06:27):
Guys, I told you who I'm going to talk about
more guys, the Saints. We need your doll I know
BG got a little locker in another locker room. This
guy probably got a statue outside the stadium.
Speaker 5 (06:40):
And I don't know.
Speaker 6 (06:40):
Drew has things with his right arm and his right
should Drew just step up in a huddle.
Speaker 5 (06:44):
I don't care what it is.
Speaker 4 (06:45):
Like.
Speaker 5 (06:45):
We need some faith, we need some belief, We need.
Speaker 6 (06:48):
Some Just go lead the pregame huddle like you've done
for decades, Like that's what we need.
Speaker 5 (06:52):
We need. We need to go back. We need Drew
Brees back throwing the ball around the.
Speaker 6 (06:56):
Super Dome or the Caesars Dome, whatever it's called nowadays.
Speaker 5 (07:00):
We just need this guy or whatever.
Speaker 3 (07:02):
So what I heard you just say, Manti, is it
you vow to talk about a team.
Speaker 5 (07:05):
I'm going all in.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
And then you asked the.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
Guy who is a right handed throwing quarterback who has
shoulder and arm she's on his right.
Speaker 5 (07:12):
Side, to just step in the huddle.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
And that's what's going to make you talk about the
Just make sure we.
Speaker 6 (07:16):
Understand the belief that this guy that the team has
in this guy.
Speaker 5 (07:20):
I think that was going to rally him out. I
don't know years, No, guys, I just want the hoo.
That's to be really really good again. It was Ron's
bringing back Archie man into he can still hawk it.
We'll take them off. Go ahead, go ahead, and Mike,
thank you, thank you. Do you have a stencil for that?
I know, masent talented guy.
Speaker 7 (07:42):
In many ways, this one's not going to be sexy,
although when we roll the videotape in a couple of seconds,
you're going to see some sexy Michael Pierce with the
Baltimore Raven.
Speaker 5 (07:51):
Definitely not sexy. Michael, uh No, you want to see sexy?
Here comes out? Is this the play? Right? Get Ross?
He's back of the news.
Speaker 7 (07:58):
Yeah, it's rough there, you know, falling under three hundred
and fifty yeah, of defensive tackle. The Ravens lost I'm
the matabikee for the season earlier this year with a
neck injury, and that has been an enormous loss for
that team and that defensive front. You could plug in
three hundred and fifty five pounds of pick six or
no big Man maybe interception.
Speaker 5 (08:19):
I believe this is it right here, Yes, there it
is now. I wanted to see how far he was
gonna take that thing. I run it all that way.
This is the best. Maybe if it was in plus.
Speaker 7 (08:30):
Territory, the Ravens could absolutely use Michael Pierce. You know,
Brandon Graham said last year he didn't want to mess
up the storybook ending like we went out we won
the Super Bowl. I feel like I need to rid
Michael Pierce probably felt like this is the storybook ending
for him.
Speaker 5 (08:41):
Big Man in unbel he had a long way to go.
He'd still be running in that play. Ay, that's a
great answer, Mike. You pulled it out all right. Now.
We have already done thirty times more.
Speaker 4 (08:52):
Saints talk in this segment that I should do this
entire month, but you're gonna see your name, and I
don't wanted to think Saints, I'm gonna try to talk
you out of it. How about this guy, Derek Carr. Sat,
Derek Carr just up in leaves and he's got an injury,
but not the Saints.
Speaker 5 (09:04):
Derek Carr.
Speaker 4 (09:05):
I wanted to go back to the Raiders, who could
really really Yes Raiders, Derek Carr. Guys, I feel like
Derek Carr was.
Speaker 5 (09:14):
Supposed to have just this one playoff.
Speaker 4 (09:17):
Run, like where he wins a game or two, and
he was just never gonna make it happen.
Speaker 5 (09:21):
He just walked away and he's looked at.
Speaker 4 (09:24):
As this really nice guy and this respected leader, and
sure enough, like he leaves the Saints and they owed
him thirty million dollars that he could have taken, and
he's like, I don't want to just take their money.
Speaker 5 (09:34):
I'm just gonna give it what such unbelievable thing that's.
Speaker 4 (09:37):
Not talked about enough. He left that on the table.
And then he shows up and he's doing broadcasts and
he's naturally, he's funny, he's charismatic. I just would like
to see him one time in January and make a run,
especially for the Raiders when it's all just gone to hell.
Derek Carr like if he the glass broke and Derek
Carr's music played and he walked out on the field,
I think people would go nuts.
Speaker 5 (09:55):
He's a Raider, true and true, but he's gone. He
walked away.
Speaker 3 (09:58):
At this point in the season, Kyle, you think if
Derek Carr filed the paperwork to come back in, you
think that would be the thing that writes the ship
for the Raiders and then we could see him playing
in January in that division.
Speaker 5 (10:08):
Yeah, it's gonna.
Speaker 4 (10:08):
Have to take Derek Carr and David Carr and lots
of real car I mean it's gonna take a lot,
but also Derek Carr. I think it's still rehabbing an
injury at Nord Car wherever he is at random Car,
all the cars, the car is the actual band would
have to play halftime like all of that.
Speaker 3 (10:25):
That extra spark. This segment is very entertaining. There's a
couple of moments from the season already that have been
a laugh out loud funny, Like last week, Gwen Aaron
Rodgers threw a touchdown pass to Pat Fryarmooth and it
was all joyful and celebratory.
Speaker 8 (10:39):
Even the older Rodgers was.
Speaker 3 (10:41):
Skipping in celebration to the sideline until he wasn't his
own offensive lineman Roderick Jones took him down. That that's fine, yay, yay,
tap him on the chest, let him get off the ground.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
See daylight. Don't do this, don't do that. Don't spoke
about this moment. Take a listen.
Speaker 9 (11:00):
Joking about it at home. Yeah, he was a little man,
but are you know? It's football. It gets intense on
but you know it's still no love loss.
Speaker 5 (11:09):
It's always it's just the energy that he brings in
that I bring.
Speaker 9 (11:12):
He told me, don't lose the fire, and I told
him the same. So you know, we shall see on Sunday.
Healthy throws another Touchdow don't want to tackle him in the.
Speaker 3 (11:22):
I might tackle him again, Roderick, don't do that, Kyle said,
that was one of the funniest moments of the season.
Kyle's got a pretty good list over the last couple
of years in GMFB. I'm thinking of a Raiders play
again that tops the list. But from twenty twenty five,
man Ti, what's your funniest moment of the season so far?
Speaker 6 (11:37):
Funniest moment is when Jared Golf tried to jump into
the stands and he needed some assistance.
Speaker 5 (11:42):
Guys. You know who the head coach.
Speaker 6 (11:43):
Is for the for the Detroit Lions, Yeah, Dan Campbell.
Speaker 5 (11:47):
You know where it was the Saints. Right here. I
got Jared Golf trying to get helped too. The help
my man out, help the Saints, Dan Campbell.
Speaker 3 (11:57):
I feel like I can hear the noises that Golf
was making try to get there.
Speaker 10 (12:00):
He's like, oh, guys, help me, help me, help me,
help me, guys, I'm not a moner of Saint Brown,
me into the stance.
Speaker 5 (12:05):
We had that family on.
Speaker 6 (12:06):
Our show a little bit after that moment, so that
would be one of the funniest moments so far.
Speaker 7 (12:11):
All right, before I show it, it's a peach emoji.
Just to be clear, Yes, nice to me. It was
Jalen Hurts Chris Jones going back and forth at the
end of the game as the Eagles We're kneeling down.
Shut your peach emoji up roll the videotape.
Speaker 5 (12:31):
Yeah. I don't think we even ran a little caption there.
Definitely said it, though.
Speaker 7 (12:35):
It was Chris Jones who was apoplectic, like, you.
Speaker 5 (12:39):
Guys didn't even read for one hundred yards and you're
gonna win it.
Speaker 7 (12:41):
He sort of almost was talking to himself, and Jalen
Hurts is like, we won the bleeping game. Shut you
bleep up, takes a snap on a knee.
Speaker 5 (12:48):
I thought it was fantastic. All of us have that energy.
When Manti talks about to say, it's like, oh, here
we go again. Listen, we're seven We're seven games in.
Speaker 4 (12:58):
We've seen a lot of amusing things, We've seen a
lot of entertaining things, and there is still nothing that's
made me. It's still Broaderick Jones blind This is an
unbelievably funny thing.
Speaker 5 (13:07):
And let me give it a little context. Okay, Robert
Jones is the left tackle. Literally, his job is to
protect Aaron Rodgers' backside, and he blindsides him. More context.
Speaker 4 (13:17):
In this game against the Bengals, Aaron Rodgers was not
sacked once. In the prior game for the Steelers, Aaron
Rodgers not sacked once. He has not been getting hit
until his own guy at way over three bills takes
him down. I have a relatable thing where every time
I go to the grocery store, my son likes to
push the cart. It's a little fun, it's to thrill
(13:38):
for an eleven year old to push the cart, and
I'll be looking the shelves and I'll be doing this
and doing this. Inevitably, he rams the cart into the
back of my achilles tendon, right where that lower shelf
thing is. And I react just like Rogers, right here
yet what you're doing? And I'm down on one knee
in Aisle five of the grocery store. And he's like, oh, sorry, sorry,
(13:58):
it happened last time.
Speaker 5 (13:59):
It'll happen next time.
Speaker 4 (14:01):
That is how it feels when your tackle tackles you.
Speaker 5 (14:04):
By the way, in this moment of pure.
Speaker 4 (14:06):
Jubilation, it says, if I had just left the deli
counter with like free salami and was eating, I'm going
He's cobording to the sideline at forty one years old,
about to be embraced by his sidelent and then oh
down imagine.
Speaker 5 (14:19):
I mean, I hate Daven for this. What if Rogers
was injured in that play?
Speaker 4 (14:21):
Then it's like, can you imagine what if that led
to some sort of shoulder injury or something?
Speaker 5 (14:26):
Thank god it didn't.
Speaker 4 (14:27):
But Rogers is like, I'm forty one, I was born
in the early eighties. You know how hard it is
to stay alive in the NFL. I got this guy
jumping on my back. It's so funny. And his reaction,
I'm sure Roger's be like, yeah, I was just giving
him some crap.
Speaker 5 (14:39):
Now.
Speaker 4 (14:39):
He was pissed, unbelievably mad, and I'm sure he calmed down.
But the fact that he was so mad and the
path that brod Jones was like, I thought it was funny.
Speaker 5 (14:47):
I might do it again. Hilarious. I love that moment.
Speaker 3 (14:49):
That is a generational trauma that transcends all ages. Kyle,
you can't tell me that you did not do that
to your own parents. Whoever was grocery shopping growing up?
Speaker 4 (14:57):
Okay, good, Yes, the grocery carts haven't changed in fifty years.
There's still three good wheels on one crappy one that
spins like this. I did it to my dad, and
my grandson will do it to my son.
Speaker 7 (15:08):
They even have the ones where you put the items
in and it recognized them immediately.
Speaker 5 (15:12):
Still on that one the wheels up.
Speaker 3 (15:13):
Yeah, yeah, exactly what, Jey, is the smartest part.
Speaker 6 (15:17):
You've ever h I shot in the future, Mike Gie,
you were in a whole nother tax bracket.
Speaker 3 (15:22):
My man, what are you doing jersey, Judy Batisa and
I and Rappaport are at the NFL Fall League meeting. Guys,
(15:43):
if you want to have a take on Mike gb
Tony Parker or the Toush push, Judy, go ahead, what
have you.
Speaker 11 (15:48):
We will hear from Commissioner Roger Goodell in a few hours.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
Here to wrap up this meeting.
Speaker 11 (15:52):
But something really interesting that came up yesterday was the
toush push, because that's all we talk.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
About basically in the NFL.
Speaker 11 (15:59):
We talked to football operations executives yesterday and Troy Vincent
said they are having trouble.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
Officiating the touch push. This has been an issue all season.
Speaker 11 (16:09):
Are the Eagles jumping before they should be jumping? And
he admitted a line judge that's the judge that would
be responsible for calling it, has trouble seeing if they
are moving before the snap, and he said they are
trying to get better at it. But look, we know
that the league try to get rid of this play
in the off season last year they talked about the
(16:31):
health and safety issues, the concerns about it, and certainly
you would expect that as this goes forward, and we
expect this to come up again in the off season,
whether they want the toush push to remain in the game.
You would think ian that their issues with officiating, the
fact that they are having a tough time officiating it
properly is going to enter the conversation.
Speaker 12 (16:51):
Yeah, the NFL really has gone round and round on
the toush push.
Speaker 5 (16:54):
Right, still a topic of conversation.
Speaker 12 (16:56):
Still, as they mentioned, actually one team that does it
pretty well.
Speaker 5 (16:59):
That would be the Eagles. A bunch of other.
Speaker 12 (17:00):
Teams to try to do it and just to be real,
don't do it Q as well. But there are I
mean several facets of like, here's why we should outlaw
it's not really a football player.
Speaker 5 (17:11):
That is my stand.
Speaker 12 (17:11):
Scare Phone knows that and has argued with me on
many many days on the Insiders about this. There was
the health and safety issue, which seem like it's there's
really been any big injuries there, although certainly a fact
a couple scares and obviously the fear of it, and
then it's hard to officiate part of it, which is
sort of the newest and also the oldest because that's
kind of how this started. I don't know where it
(17:33):
goes from here, but it continues to be a topic
of conversation, continues to be something where they are weighing
doing away, And at some point, Judy, you have to
just think like, maybe enough is enough and they outlawed,
but that decision is not going to probably come.
Speaker 2 (17:48):
Until the spring.
Speaker 11 (17:49):
Right last offseason they dealt with it. Remember they got
very close to removing it last year in a matter
of weeks. They swung a whole lot of votes against
the tush push, certainly, and that was on health and
safety ramifications that they were conned about. So certainly, if
they revisited in the off season, as we fully expect
that they will do, you would think they will really
(18:11):
lean into trying.
Speaker 2 (18:14):
To get the play out of the game.
Speaker 11 (18:17):
Certainly, the Eagles are not going to like it. The
Eagles are outstanding and executing it, but the league and
the other owners have a whole lot of concerns about
the play.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
Jamie, Yeah, they do.
Speaker 3 (18:28):
And everyone's got an opinion now about it. It's emerged
with some ferocity. Thanks Judy, Thanks Ian, It's time to
go three and out on GMFB.
Speaker 8 (18:35):
First down.
Speaker 3 (18:36):
After hearing from our insiders, just now, MANSI, where do
you stand on the toush push and the nature of
the beasts.
Speaker 6 (18:42):
Well, as far as the play is concerned, I don't
have an issue to fit. The only issue they covered
it a little bit judy and rap sheet is the encroachment.
That's something that I don't know how they try to remedy.
The remedy that. The only way that I can think
about it is if it's reviewable. And the last time
that we reviewed penalties was pass interference penalties in twenty nineteen.
Speaker 5 (19:05):
But I don't know. If you just throw the flag
and just repeat, I just don't know.
Speaker 6 (19:09):
I the only this advantage to that is they get
a jump start on their movements. Other than that, the
play itself, I don't Is it a football play? Is
it not a football play?
Speaker 5 (19:20):
I don't really have.
Speaker 6 (19:21):
An opinion on that because it's not.
Speaker 5 (19:23):
A rugby play. I played rugby as well. It's not
a rugby play.
Speaker 6 (19:27):
But if they can figure out a way to remedy
this whole encroachment and off side sting, I think it
stays in the game.
Speaker 5 (19:35):
It drives me crazy. Go on what I hear this.
Speaker 7 (19:39):
It started as it's tough to officiate, then it went
to it's not.
Speaker 5 (19:44):
A football play. It doesn't look like a football.
Speaker 7 (19:46):
Then it became the health thing. I mean, we've talked
injury concern that injury. Now we're back to it's hard
to officiate. And I think by the spring it'll be
the Chappelle Show Pop copy segment.
Speaker 5 (20:00):
If you haven't seen that one before, go check it out.
And he says, why because bleep them. That's why. That's why.
Speaker 7 (20:07):
I think that's where we're And you know what, if
we just got there and we just landed there, I
think I'd just be happier with the whole process and
be like, well, at least you're admitting it at.
Speaker 5 (20:18):
This point because I'll hear this stuff.
Speaker 7 (20:19):
The health There is no there's been no internet on
health and safety.
Speaker 5 (20:22):
It doesn't look like a football player.
Speaker 7 (20:23):
Can think of a other football players, it's tough to officiate.
Speaker 5 (20:26):
Blah blah blah blah. I did ask Troy Vince yesterday
because he.
Speaker 7 (20:29):
Said it's hard from the sideline for the officials, who
ordinarily on a regular play would see that interior alignment
before the snap, they can't see.
Speaker 5 (20:37):
It because they're so far away. I said, what if
you move them in? He said, well, we can't do
that because.
Speaker 7 (20:41):
Even if they're in that formation doesn't mean they're necessarily
going to run.
Speaker 5 (20:44):
They could run something else running it already. So that's
the hard to officiate part.
Speaker 4 (20:48):
But should the officials have like binoculars or something like this?
Speaker 5 (20:52):
Stand there, bring them closer? I mentioned this on air
last night.
Speaker 7 (20:55):
Rappaport goes as I'm saying it interrupts me.
Speaker 5 (20:58):
Kind of like I'm doing to you now.
Speaker 7 (20:59):
Sorry, suspend the referee over the line of scrimmage, I said,
slay like oh.
Speaker 4 (21:06):
Like the Falcons mascot that comes down for the state,
like lady Kaga.
Speaker 5 (21:10):
All right, I'll be very quick. I've said this, Jame,
you know, for well. I think all the.
Speaker 4 (21:15):
Ammunition against the tush push I think is nonsense. I
do like it as a football play. I think it's
you push, we push, you can push harder. I don't
think it's an injured concern, And I resent that they
throw that around to try to get attention because I
don't think it is one. But it's gone where I
can't follow where they're committing a blatant penalty, the false
starting thing that is a penalty.
Speaker 5 (21:33):
You can't do that.
Speaker 4 (21:34):
And you see these super slow motion replays or you
see screen caps where the Eagles helmet is way in
front of the ball from the right guard or left guard.
You can't as a referee. I don't care how old
you are, how far are you. It happens too quickly
in real time. You can't say, well, well they false started.
You don't even know for sure. So the fact that
they're committing a bona fide, unarguable penalty when they do
(21:57):
it most of the time.
Speaker 5 (21:58):
I think it's gone where I can't follow.
Speaker 4 (21:59):
And I hate to say that because I've been rocking
for the toush push, But you can't commit penalties.
Speaker 5 (22:03):
It's just that's not the way the league works.
Speaker 3 (22:05):
Well, we'll see how this thing wraps up once again
in the league meeting next spring, when it's the annual
league meeting for the NFL. Until then, more juicy headlines
come out for second Down on GMFB of three and out,
Jets owner Woody Johnson was asked his thoughts on his
team's zero to seven start, and he was not try
expressing his opinion.
Speaker 13 (22:26):
Well, the record speaks for itself. Yeah, but I don't
go to any game thinking I'm gonna lose, So I'm
hopeful every Sunday I just think defense. Special teams are
doing better. The defense is pretty good. If we can
just complete a pass, it would look good. You know,
we got to complete some paths. You got to convince
(22:48):
them that you could do something. Otherwise. It's hard to have,
you know, have a game that you can win.
Speaker 14 (22:56):
You know, it's hard when you have a quarterback with
you know, okay, with a rating that you know, god,
you know, it's I mean, he has the but something
just is not driving. But if you look at any
head coach at a quarterback like that, you're going to
see similar results.
Speaker 3 (23:12):
I Mean, he just quadrupled down on that take on
Justin Fields, and he tried to come back out of
it a little bit by saying, well, he's the ability,
it's just not driving. Manti, please translate in your mind
Woody Johnson's take on Justin Field's play.
Speaker 6 (23:25):
Well, I'll say what I see in Justin fields play.
I think oftentimes a reluctance to make a mistake in
pursuit of trying to be perfect results in you not
really making movement at all. And that's what I see
at Justin Fields. He's constantly waiting.
Speaker 5 (23:38):
For the perfect scenario to throw the ball.
Speaker 6 (23:41):
There's man coverage, whatever, whatever the relationship with the dB
to his receivers are. He's waiting for those perfect moments
and it sometimes most times it just takes too long
and he gets sacked or he gets rushed or pressured.
I can't fault with you on this because the entire
team the ren game is looking really good. Yeah, Garrett Wilson,
(24:02):
who's one of the premier receivers in the game. And
you have a defense that is that that comes up
with big stops with your quarterback.
Speaker 5 (24:10):
I see a quarterback that's just frozen.
Speaker 6 (24:12):
He's he's trying to analyze things and trying to wait
for the perfect moment, and just luck in life, you
wait for the perfect moment, there is none and you
just stuck in the same place.
Speaker 7 (24:20):
Mirchie Whatdy Johnson usually shows up to these events and
games in a Jets hat.
Speaker 5 (24:24):
He was wearing a Crystal Palace hat.
Speaker 7 (24:26):
He actually said at one point that the fans are
true blue, and then he had to correct himself to Green.
I think there may have been a little bit of
a hidden message there.
Speaker 5 (24:33):
I don't know.
Speaker 7 (24:34):
I'm supposedly going to pep Guardiola now to a Halloween
party that again I should probably catch up on my
soccer is Crystal Palace only probably better than the Jets
are doing right now. He did Jamie walk through the
lobby again after the meeting was done yesterday.
Speaker 5 (24:48):
And Judy talked to him.
Speaker 7 (24:50):
Judy Patista talked him for like twenty minutes, and he
didn't walk anything back, and he's like, you know, I'm right.
So it was definitely calculated. He didn't take it back.
He didn't say, hey, I was taken out of context
or anything like that. He meant to say what he
meant to say. I just don't know how that flies now.
In the locker, I'm like, you know, you walk in
you Justin Field's like.
Speaker 5 (25:07):
Dude, you hear the boss like not great.
Speaker 4 (25:11):
One of the things I respect the most about Justin Fields,
and we've seen this going back to Chicago. He keeps
his head down and his mouth shut. He is not
someone who pops off. He doesn't criticize teammates. He hasn't
had much success winning, but I really at least.
Speaker 5 (25:22):
Respect how he goes about his business. Part of me,
in this instance wishes that it was not the case.
Speaker 4 (25:28):
Because if you are Justin Fields and you're fighting and
you're doing your best and you have this bad team,
this bad situation, then you have to hear this. Maybe
you might retort with something about, like, what did you
expect from me?
Speaker 5 (25:40):
What did you think you were getting?
Speaker 4 (25:42):
I'm a sixty one percent passer. I've shown this for years.
Do you think I was Steve Young?
Speaker 5 (25:46):
Like?
Speaker 4 (25:47):
I'm justin fields? Mike Tomlin sat me down for Russell Wilson.
What did you You paid me forty million bucks to
get here? And while we're on the topic, sir, is
it possible that maybe is not me? And there's so
many organizational things going on? Because if you want to
complete a pass A couple of years ago, you brought
in probably the most act you're at passer in NFL history,
and he flopped and fell on his face. Last year,
(26:10):
let's go back even further, you had the number two
overall pick in the draft, this dimple faced kid with
a live arm. He fell on his face in this building.
Then you had the number three pick in the draft,
a guy at a USC who's gone on to have
great success with other organizations, and he fell on his
face in this building. So maybe it is something to
(26:31):
do with the building to respect your building, sir, and
maybe not me running around trying to make plays on
behalf of your building. That's what I might say if
I was justin fields, but he probably will not. He
is a different type of guy, That's what I would say.
Speaker 5 (26:44):
Though.
Speaker 3 (26:45):
If you look at the transcript on Kyle's last take,
I'm pretty sure he led with I'm going to keep
this short, which is essentially what Woudy Johnson tried to do,
and he went.
Speaker 5 (26:52):
For Kyle was I was a good.
Speaker 3 (26:55):
Long run on the history of the Jets quarterbacking in
the last ten years, and you're like, no, no, no,
I'm just going to keep this brief, well done third down.
In November of last year, Daniel Jones, after having played
a game in Germany, after having received an angry run scepter,
was released by the New York Giants in a highly
publicized move. Then in March, he signed with the Colts
after a week long stint with the Minnesota Vikings. And
(27:18):
now he's under center for Indianapolis, the NFL's highest scoring offense.
He looks great, and he's out there talking to his
bleak for his team. Catch this moment in postgame interview
with CBS's Evan Washburn and Daniel Jones had this to say.
Speaker 10 (27:30):
About some doubters, Not that you care, but those of
us on the outside, I think are a little surprised
just how well this team is playing to start the season.
What do we need to know about this group that
maybe we didn't know going into the year.
Speaker 5 (27:46):
I mean, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (27:46):
It sounds like sounds like YA didn't know much.
Speaker 5 (27:50):
It's a feel good story.
Speaker 3 (27:52):
You who took a lot of heat from the fans
in the New York and the media market for the Giants.
So I ask you guys this, do you have a
favorite comeback story from any professional player in any sports ever?
Speaker 5 (28:04):
Mansai?
Speaker 3 (28:05):
Some people might say, Daniel Jones, what's yours?
Speaker 6 (28:07):
Well, one of my favorite athletes of all time and
rest in pieces Kobe Bryant, and in his last game
at thirty seven year old old, dropped sixty points against
the Utah Jazz to bring them back after being.
Speaker 5 (28:17):
Down double digits.
Speaker 6 (28:18):
So we had a segment on if if I could
tell the youth about somebody, I mean, this is somebody
who had a tremendous impact on me. The Mama mentality
is something that I tried to live by. He wasn't perfect,
but everything that he embodied as a competitor, I try
to embody in my game, and I thought that the
game that he had against a Utah Jazz twenty years
in the league, helping them to win one hundred one
(28:40):
on one to ninety six, and his last final game
and ending it with mamba out.
Speaker 5 (28:45):
That would be the comeback story for me. Jack.
Speaker 7 (28:48):
I remember in nineteen ninety four over Brian Fry's house,
my friend he had access to pay per view.
Speaker 5 (28:54):
Put it to you that way.
Speaker 7 (28:56):
I think the Statute of Limitations is up on that,
so I'll out him publicly. But we watched the George
Foreman Michael Moore fight.
Speaker 5 (29:02):
Oh it's great one forty.
Speaker 7 (29:03):
Five years old for George Foreman coming back to win
the heavyweight chit. I still don't understand how that punched there.
I'm watching it right now. As a matter of fact,
resulted in that knockout. I've had some boxing experts explained
to me why it was more devastating than it looked. Fine, whatever,
I actually looked this up this morning. I thought he
was a bigger underdog. It's only like a two to
one underdog in this one.
Speaker 5 (29:22):
But do you know how many grills my man sold
that night. Look for you, George Foreman.
Speaker 4 (29:27):
George Foreman reached a point in his career when he
would enter the ring to Hakuna Matata because his children
liked the song. So he was this big scary boxer,
but he was saying it means no worries, wonderful phrase.
It was a shock and awe when he dropped Michael
Moore and Michael Moore who had beaten Evander Holyfield for
the belt, to nobody beat holy Field back in the day.
Speaker 5 (29:45):
Mine is Jamie.
Speaker 4 (29:46):
Admittedly a little more of an inspirational story than a comeback,
but it's certainly a comeback from a card that life
deals you. I wish the young people knew about Jim Abbott.
Jim Abbott was a pitcher in the Major leagues. He
won eighty some games, played mostly for the Angels and
the Yankees. One catch. He didn't have a hand, his
right hand. He was born without it. It's in a ridiculous,
(30:07):
really cool story. He was a left handed pitcher with
one hand. He threw a no hitter, a no hitter
in the Big leagues in which he had this incredible
style war he had the ball in his hand. He
would put his glove on the remnants of his forearm,
on his right appendage, and then throw the ball and
transfer the glove onto the forearm. Teams would back in
the day, they'd be crucified for this, but back in
(30:28):
the day, they would deliberately bunt against Maddox or against
Abbott to try to get the ball to get on base,
and he.
Speaker 5 (30:35):
Would switch the glove back and forth and throw it.
Incredible thing that he'd even made it to the majors.
He won.
Speaker 4 (30:41):
He threw up perfect games and really really cool thing,
no hand, lefty heat, all kinds of talent, and he
did it in spite of that.
Speaker 5 (30:47):
Now does motivacial speaking, it's amazing. Imagine that.
Speaker 4 (30:50):
I mean, it's it's not a basketball player with one hand,
but it's not not that.
Speaker 5 (30:53):
It's really really close. And I just still wish more
people knew that story.
Speaker 7 (30:56):
I think about Jim Abbott, damn near every single day.
Speaker 5 (30:59):
Is that right? You want to know why? Yeah, you
have a phone number, first.
Speaker 4 (31:01):
Name in the film book, Oh ab So you always
assue him?
Speaker 5 (31:05):
I always sebbit.
Speaker 7 (31:07):
Now, the reason of mine my contact is I wrote
a story for NFL dot com Go check it out
on Shaquem Griffin when he was in the draft process,
and I spoke to Jim Abbott about that, the fact
that he was I don't know if he had spoken
him at that point he planned to, but he was
definitely rooting for Shaquem Griffin given that they both had
the same issue playing professional sports with no hand.
Speaker 5 (31:27):
Good for you, Jim Abbitt, there's a thirty for thirty.
Go check out.
Speaker 2 (31:29):
Kyle.
Speaker 3 (31:30):
Who was the first contact in your phone book?
Speaker 4 (31:32):
I thought it was gonna be somebody fun. It's just
it's just my friend Erin Ginsberg, who's a R O N. Sorry,
so I don't have a picture or anyone cool, anybody
got all.
Speaker 5 (31:40):
He should be in the g's though, you gotta That's
not how I enter it. My cousin Alona is the
last name.
Speaker 3 (31:46):
It depends on if you have the I I alphabetized
by the first name. So mine is Aaron Jones because
I go by first name. So the packer the Vikings, Yeah,
because he was on.
Speaker 2 (31:55):
Our show for the week.
Speaker 5 (31:56):
But Kyle, do you remember this.
Speaker 3 (31:58):
We made him look into the camera twenty seven times
and plead to Aaron Rodgers to stay in Green Bay
and he wore some glasses entire time, and then.
Speaker 5 (32:06):
Rogers went to the Jets.
Speaker 3 (32:07):
It was like, really, yeah, but great dude, and now
he's doing awesome things with the Vikings. But yeah, it
depends on how you alphabetize your phone.
Speaker 8 (32:13):
Contact good football mindor.
Speaker 3 (32:33):
Keep trying lock in everybody. The Giants are coming off
of an absolute heart wrenching loss to the Denver Broncos,
but they have to turn things around emotionally to face
an NFC East rival in a showdown with the Eagles
on Sunday Yesterday, Jackson Dart spoke to the media about
how the team plans to respond in week.
Speaker 15 (32:52):
You know, pride myself on trying not to let you know,
things in the past effect what I'm going to do
in the future, and you know, as a team, we
can't let that happen.
Speaker 5 (32:58):
We can't know.
Speaker 15 (32:59):
We got to find ways to finish games. We gotta
find ways to win games, you know, and get on
a roll. So we have to be very present in
each moment that we have. We have to play each
game individually as hard as we can to make sure
that things, you know, like last week didn't happen, don't happen.
Speaker 5 (33:17):
All right, man, so I buying or keep trying?
Speaker 3 (33:18):
Are you buying the fact that the Giants are gonna
be able to move past the devastating loss to the
Broncos and click in emotionally against the Eagles?
Speaker 5 (33:24):
I think so.
Speaker 6 (33:25):
I think it's very important that the Giants understand that
for forty five minutes of that game, you played better
than the majority of the guys and teams have played
the entire season. Like it was nineteen to zero at
the end of the third quarter. When I see a
team kind of fall off like that, that's just situational,
and you know, let's be honest. I don't think that
Giants even anticipated that they would be up that much,
(33:46):
like when they're when you're a team that is used
to being up that much, there's a way to play
the game, and I think there's so much youth there
that it may have slipped by them.
Speaker 5 (33:56):
So I do. I am buying that they will respond.
Speaker 6 (33:59):
They will build off because all of the stuff that
happened that were negative against the Broncos situational. That comes
with coaching, That comes with identifying where you can do better,
and I think they will do better.
Speaker 5 (34:09):
So I do I am buying on.
Speaker 7 (34:11):
This, Jamie, I went back and tried to look at history,
because you know the old Godfather line, if history has
taught us anything.
Speaker 5 (34:19):
The problem is it's a mixed bag.
Speaker 7 (34:21):
You've got some bad teams that blew some leads, the
Jeff Saturday Colts from a couple of years ago, so
it's tough.
Speaker 5 (34:27):
To compare it.
Speaker 7 (34:27):
Although I do think that this is a decent Giants team,
and I remember covering a good, good Giants team back
in twenty ten when they blew that game against the Eagles,
the Miracle at.
Speaker 5 (34:38):
The Metal Lands, Matt Dodge. Here we go, Geck, get
out of bounds game.
Speaker 7 (34:43):
Burt your eyes, Giants fans for the second time in
four days.
Speaker 5 (34:46):
Here the following week, December.
Speaker 7 (34:50):
Twenty sixth Now at the time, by the way, the
Giants were on a three game winning streak. They wound
up being a ten and six team that didn't make
the playoffs. That was the old Coughlan they can kiss
by behind postgame quote. This team was shook in this
game against the Packers seventeen. There was also a plain
issue on the back end. They couldn't get out of
Green Bay like it was just a miserable experience. For
(35:12):
everybody involved in this game. It has the potential to
linger and to hang over your heads.
Speaker 5 (35:19):
So good luck Giants. If they did move past, it
wouldn't be surprised. I'm gonna keep trying on this one.
I hear you. I think this is a big, big, big,
big week for.
Speaker 4 (35:27):
Brian Dable, Like I'd love to know what he's had
to say to his players behind closed doors. What is
his message, What is his message right after the game?
What is his message this week?
Speaker 5 (35:36):
Personally?
Speaker 4 (35:36):
In our little show here, I've been saying since the
game was over that it's I know that they gave
up thirty three points in that an all time meltdown,
but with a rookie quarterback and a lot of new pieces,
they were up nineteen to nothing on the road against
the best defense in the NFL.
Speaker 5 (35:47):
That's the takeaway.
Speaker 4 (35:48):
They have a guy in Dart, They have a team
that could capable of doing that.
Speaker 5 (35:51):
Can they harness that?
Speaker 4 (35:52):
Again, that's coaching, that's coaching and that psychology. They're playing
a team that they beat by three scores a couple
of weeks ago. This was Giant Siegels. Was not a
good game. They absolutely bludgeon them and it was like,
Oh my god, what's wrong with the Eagles?
Speaker 5 (36:05):
Here come the Giants. They should not only compete.
Speaker 4 (36:09):
You're telling me they're going to win by three scores
and two weeks later they're going to lose. Why Because
this in Philly, this should be a very, very very
close game. If Ryan Dabele has a handle on this
team psychologically, football wise, I just want to say one
quick thing about Saquon Barkley. I hate being right, and
for the entire offseason I said, no, he won't even
come close to two thousand yards. He won't even snippe it,
because no one ever does.
Speaker 5 (36:29):
After they get two thousand.
Speaker 4 (36:31):
You know, Saquan's high rushing yards this year this year
is eighty eight yards. He has zero one hundred yard
games last year at fourteen fourteen.
Speaker 5 (36:39):
It's not working. It's not running.
Speaker 4 (36:41):
And this is a totally different team that Philadelphia. Last
year it was Saquon left, Saquon right, and then eventually
Jalen would have to make a couple of throws. It's
not working in the run game at all. One of
the only things that works dependently for Philly is is
the toush push. But they're not getting down there with Saquon,
so I think that plays into the Giants hands. It'll
be a study, especially Jamie. I think if the Giants
will say they go down ten nothing in the first
(37:02):
quarter and that defense is just like what is wrong
with us? Then we'll see the scars and let's see
how they start. But this is the Brian Dable barometer
game right now, leader motivator.
Speaker 5 (37:12):
Let's say what he's got.
Speaker 3 (37:13):
Let's keep the trend going a little bit. With Saquon
facing his forward team and moving over to Aaron Rodgers
and the Pittsburgh Steelers for the first time since his
departure from Green Bay, Rogers will face the Packers. Rogers
was asked about going up against his former team, probably
not just once or twice a lot, And here's what
he had to say.
Speaker 9 (37:30):
That you don't view this as a quote revenge opportunity
or whatever near to we want to try to throw
out there.
Speaker 16 (37:36):
I do. Why not, Well, Brett got traded and then
he went to one of the hated rivals. You know,
I was in New Jersey for a couple of years.
I don't have any animosity toward the organization. Obviously, I
wish to you know, things have been better than our
last year there. But you know, I have a great
(37:58):
relationship with a lot of people still in that organization,
and I don't This is not a revenge game for me.
I'm just decided to see some of those guys and
be on Sunday Night Football again.
Speaker 3 (38:09):
I can't believe this show has transpired the way that
his has. Honestly, on GMFB, Kyle Brandt, how did you
editorially move the.
Speaker 5 (38:16):
Chess pieces like this?
Speaker 3 (38:17):
You got Joe Flacco saying that he envies people that
dine by himself, which then you just absolutely cooked on.
You were able to talk about Wendy Peppercorn and San Lot,
and now you've got Rogers doubling down on the fact
that he himself is not calling this a revenge game,
a term in which you hate, and he is essentially
validating everything that you have ever said about revenge game.
Speaker 2 (38:37):
How did you do it well?
Speaker 4 (38:38):
Because we put it on a platter right now. For me,
as much as I amia Rodgers to just call BS
on him one hundred ten out of ten, full bs listen,
A lot of what he's saying is absolutely authentic and true.
Like he I think he has genuine love for the
Packers and that logo, and of course all the players.
And I think he's really good with Matt Lafleur. I
don't think he's good with the entire organization, namely some
(38:58):
people up in the front office who in the in
the prime of his career, really and it's like his
third prime as he's coming off of MVPs and all that.
They decided to draft a quarterback in the first round.
They decided to move up and draft a quarterback who
led the NFL, or led the nation and interceptions in college.
Speaker 5 (39:15):
They decided to move on from Rogers. Now. Is that
the right move? We can do that in oother segments.
Speaker 4 (39:20):
Since then, Jordan Love has won one playoff game, and
most of the time he looks pretty good.
Speaker 5 (39:24):
Rogers, believe me, is a lot of things. I think
he is.
Speaker 4 (39:28):
As enlightened as he is, and as positive and philosophical
about life and meaning and everything, he is still like
a football jerk. He still is all those things. He's
still very personal and very motivated. Do you think he
wants to lose to Jordan Love? No, you think he
wants to lose to Matt and Floor. No, you think
he wants to lose to everybody in the front office.
Speaker 5 (39:49):
Hell no, he is.
Speaker 4 (39:51):
A person who looks back and looks at meanings of
things and most meaningful moments in his life and career.
Speaker 5 (39:57):
This is one of them. Whether he wants to stay
it or not.
Speaker 4 (39:59):
He's not going to give you the quote, but watch
what he says after.
Speaker 5 (40:03):
The game when he wins.
Speaker 4 (40:04):
See if he does just a little twinkle in the
eye because he's got it loaded.
Speaker 5 (40:07):
Trust me, I don't buy it at all. I'll give
you a quote, Carl. Let's go back to week one,
before he played the Jets.
Speaker 6 (40:13):
He said, it's one game out of seventeen, and at
five o'clock Eastern on that Sunday, it's only going to
be It's going to be onto the next So that's just.
Speaker 5 (40:21):
The way it is.
Speaker 6 (40:21):
And then he had this to say after he beat
the Jets.
Speaker 16 (40:26):
I was happy to beat everybody associated with the Jets.
There were probably people in the organization I didn't think
I could play anymore, so it was nice to remind
those people I still can.
Speaker 5 (40:37):
I ain't invited it at all.
Speaker 6 (40:39):
Come on, now, you're talking about a franchise you spent
yet two years with, well really one year compared to
a franchise. You spent eighteen on a Super Bowl with
So we want to get quotes. I got quotes. I
got quotes from before the game, after the game. This
is a game that means It means a lot to
Aaron Rodgers. You know, for many different reasons. KB just
(41:00):
alluded to it and his take. But let's not get
it twisted. This guy keep receipts. He's very passionate about
the game, and he's very passionate about the Green Bay Packers.
So trust me, it's it's it's been a game that
he circled for a long time.
Speaker 7 (41:13):
I'm gonna buy this one, Okay, I am okay for
one huge reason. Packers at Steelers Acrasser Stadium, not lambeau Field.
Speaker 5 (41:24):
I hate they are not banging the drum all day.
They are you know, hang that renegade, renegade. They're gonna
they're gonna wave the terrible towels.
Speaker 7 (41:32):
I think that changes things FARV went back to Lambeau
This changes it totally.
Speaker 5 (41:38):
You know, it's it's the old you.
Speaker 7 (41:39):
Go walk down the tunnel, you make a right instead
of a left in the building that you made so
many lefts in. I think that that is the reason
that this is going to be a not just another game.
I can't buy it completely, but I can get a
big way there once that first snap happens.
Speaker 5 (41:54):
I don't think it's all those feelings.
Speaker 7 (41:56):
And as he said yesterday, absence may may makes the
heart grow fonder.
Speaker 5 (42:00):
I think that separates it a little bit for him.
Speaker 4 (42:02):
Here here's an interesting comp I think Rogers understands the moments,
He understands the story, He understands what he doesn't want
the story to be. The way he's talking about Green
Bay this week is very similar to him all his
times as a packer, the way he would talk about
the Bears, particularly at the end of his career with
the Packers, when he would dominate the Bears every single year.
Anytime he's asked about the Bears, he would always say, Oh,
(42:22):
it's just such a great rivalry and it's such a
great tradition and such a great organization over there, and it.
Speaker 5 (42:27):
Was all Bs because you know why.
Speaker 4 (42:29):
The second he got hit a little bit late and
looked up to the Bears fans of Soldier Field, he screams, Oh.
Speaker 5 (42:33):
My life, I own you. I'd bleep and own you
all of you. I own you. That was the real Rogers.
Speaker 4 (42:38):
He got caught up in the adrenaline and the facade
came down and he said what he really feels, which
I have dominated the Chicago Bears for my entire.
Speaker 5 (42:46):
Career, and I own you and you and this is
my stadium.
Speaker 4 (42:49):
That was the most authentic moment of Aaron Rodgers' media career.
Speaker 5 (42:53):
And he has a lot.
Speaker 4 (42:53):
Of authentic moments. We're not getting authentic Rodgers right here.
Speaker 5 (42:58):
There's just we need a little gas. When he pulls back.
Speaker 4 (43:00):
The curtain and he can really say how it feels
about the Packers. I don't think will say it until
maybe he's retired.
Speaker 5 (43:06):
But if he wins the game.
Speaker 4 (43:07):
And throws three touchdowns and beats him, like, there might
be a little wink.
Speaker 3 (43:10):
I have an idea along these lines. So he throws
like an eighty yard bomb a dk metcalf and he's
trotting up to the end zone to celebrate, like and
we saw him skipping celebrating you know recently. What if
he does his own form of the atreasure lambeau leap
into the renegade terrible towels and like just that's his
stamp of putting it on, making it his own version
(43:31):
of his home game against the Packers, and like you're
gonna have to see daylight though under the feet.
Speaker 5 (43:36):
That's what I'm worried about.
Speaker 3 (43:36):
Like he's really got to we gotta find maybe like
the lowest wall, just because I know he likes to
stay close to the ground and make sure like in
his in his seasoned veteran age, that he doesn't have anything.
Speaker 5 (43:45):
Discount, double check. That'd be good, you know, I mean
that the jumping, just to stay on the ground. And
I think it'd be.
Speaker 4 (43:51):
Cool if he found a pocket of Packers fans there
and jumped into them.
Speaker 5 (43:54):
How would they react? A total conf
Speaker 2 (44:02):
Good football
Good Morning Football is the production of the NFL in
partnership with iHeartRadio.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
Good Morning Football, and I.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
Have to throw to some sound from yesterday about Kyle
pointing out a certain Seahawks fan that wasn't very happy
with us. Good thing we have because Manti's at our
class right now.
Speaker 4 (00:34):
I received a message last week, my friends, from a
loyal viewer of the show named Cassie. I'm going to
read it to you right now. This is someone who
watches the show.
Speaker 5 (00:42):
Bring it up, and.
Speaker 4 (00:42):
I'm going to read this verbatim because it's kind of
like a comment box.
Speaker 5 (00:46):
I watched MFB every day and half for several years.
Speaker 4 (00:48):
Your coverage of my team is deplorable and disappointing.
Speaker 5 (00:52):
I am a.
Speaker 4 (00:52):
Seahawks fan, and you guys almost never cover them, even
when they have a great game, and they had just
rarely talked about. I was surprised to even see them
in a few of your predictions for possible Super Bowl contenders.
Speaker 5 (01:03):
But Kyle, a little coverage would be nice. Come on, throw.
Speaker 4 (01:07):
At the bone every now and then, double exclamation point, Cassie.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
We gave you three bonus minutes individually on the Seahawks
yesterday let's lean into this theme though, Manti, Mike, g
and Kyle pick a team that you vow and dive
out talk about more.
Speaker 5 (01:25):
And I vow to talk about the hood ats.
Speaker 6 (01:27):
I will talk more about the Saints list and it's
locome to call myself a Saint, but I think that
Spencer Rattler has been playing very, very well. Obviously, there's
a lot of rumors about Alvin Kamara and will he
be in New Orleans or not. I hope that he
stays in New Orleans because he's one of those pillars
in the community that I love to see in who
(01:47):
that uniform. So to Kb's point, why would I want
to talk about the Saints Because I love the Saints.
I am a Saint, and I hope that the next
few days when we win some games.
Speaker 5 (02:00):
So I got the hood ats Anty.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
I'm not going to tell you the votes that we're
going to out of my ear.
Speaker 5 (02:04):
Mike you you continue, Yeah, let's balance this one. I'm
gonna go hey, you go hey.
Speaker 7 (02:10):
Every time I draw the Colts logo reminds me of
that Wonder Year's episode where they're in Jim's class.
Speaker 5 (02:14):
If you have to year, nice get up.
Speaker 7 (02:16):
We had a segment last week where we did our
top five, and I put the Colts in there like
somewhere around three or four or something like that.
Speaker 5 (02:22):
I said, they haven't beaten him.
Speaker 7 (02:26):
Look at the NFL this year, and that was the
point of the segment last year, and there are no
great teams at some point, and they did beat in
my opinion, a good team on the road here.
Speaker 5 (02:33):
In the Chargers. At some point I go, you know what,
that's all out the window. They're taking care of business.
A lot of other teams aren't taking care of business. Colts,
I apologize.
Speaker 7 (02:43):
I vow I swear, which I still love the Minion's
version underwear of I Swear.
Speaker 5 (02:48):
It's great, fantastic, But Colts, I promise more of you.
I'm just taking full circle, Jamie. It's right.
Speaker 4 (02:54):
There's still the Seahawks. It's still the Seahawks. A great record,
great team. And when I was screaming about that yesterday,
when we ran Cassi's email and we were talking about
the Seahawks, it goes out on social media and there's
two different responses. One just the deliberate stubborn haters saying
worst five, and two team ever worse five. I find
(03:16):
you can have your opinion. But then the other one
that I didn't appreciate was from Seahawks fans themselves saying,
we don't want your support. You're on the bandwagon. Now
they've won some games. Now you're finally talking about them.
Oh Contrea, my friend. Let's go back to NFL films
in August September, before we even played a game.
Speaker 5 (03:33):
Roll the clip and.
Speaker 4 (03:34):
The FC West, NFC West. I see it over here,
see a gold helmet. I see a beautiful sterling blue helmet.
Still feels like the best buy color scheme, but that's okay.
You know who I think is going to win the
NFC West? Would you like to know? Would you like
to know?
Speaker 5 (03:50):
Boom the Seattle Seahawks.
Speaker 4 (03:52):
I've got the Seahawks winning the West, the Seahawks ten
wins last year.
Speaker 5 (03:58):
Yes, quarterback change, but I.
Speaker 4 (04:00):
Like how they play defense. I'd like to run the ball.
This is not going to be a popular pick. I
know there are Niners fans wondering what drug I'm on
right now.
Speaker 5 (04:07):
Just the drug of football.
Speaker 4 (04:10):
Let me tell you something that's not easy to do.
You look down at those helmets. There's some sterling and
attractive helmets. In the NFC West to look down at
that Niners gold and that Sean McVay rams and to
choose the Seahawks.
Speaker 5 (04:20):
And I did it anyways, And.
Speaker 4 (04:21):
If you want to direct your ranker somewhere, when I
did it, one person on the show goes, what and
she's in LA right now because I have the audacity
to pick the NFC West champion Seahawks.
Speaker 5 (04:31):
You got hit with the shrappingl on that one, Jake.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
Yeah, I have nothing to say to that, I really know.
Speaker 5 (04:36):
And yes, you're right. What do you mean fund yourself?
Speaker 2 (04:39):
I don't want to. You're right.
Speaker 3 (04:41):
I look down and I put the Niners in. I
think you know what I'm having, like a blackout moment
from when we made our predictions.
Speaker 8 (04:47):
Well done, Kyle.
Speaker 9 (04:48):
I know you.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
Oftentimes say like, don't look back too much on predictions,
don't patch yourself on the back, but I guess sometimes
when it suits yourself in a segment and it is
an easily clippable moment. Do you want to say anything
else about how right you were about any of your
other prediction?
Speaker 5 (05:04):
No?
Speaker 4 (05:04):
No, the one I don't Jamie, the ones I don't
like to look back on on the ones you mess up.
Speaker 5 (05:08):
You ignore those. Everybody makes terrible predictions.
Speaker 4 (05:11):
But if you put yourself out there, you and any
of us, hell yeah, beat your chest a little bit.
Speaker 5 (05:15):
The bad ones forget those. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
I think my exst exast to whatever word what was
because thank you trying to make good TV in which
I learned from Kyle Brant, so like.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
Why so dramatic?
Speaker 5 (05:26):
You know, I'm just point thanks.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
Moving on yesterday, let's have another clip from the show Former.
This is so sad to performer in front of it,
but it's good for the Eagles. Brandon Graham announced his unretirement,
announced his return to the Eagles. He did so on
GMFB over time.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
I'm going to appreciate even more so.
Speaker 5 (05:45):
Of course I'm gonna be chirping. Of course, I'm.
Speaker 7 (05:48):
Going our teammates, my teammates soon as that first player
practice come.
Speaker 5 (05:53):
Y'all thought this was over, y'all thought I would finish, You.
Speaker 4 (05:56):
Know, Yeah, I can't wait to this. You got to
bring the fun to a game that we love, and
it's fun especially when you win.
Speaker 5 (06:04):
And man, we got winners on his team, and I can't.
Speaker 4 (06:07):
Wait to just be a part of the makeup of
what they are already been.
Speaker 3 (06:10):
Doing okay, So we asked Meg, it's gonna take him
a couple of weeks to ramp up, if you will.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
But there is a list of.
Speaker 3 (06:16):
Players that filed their papers this summer or in the
past couple of years that you must have one that
you want to unretire to come and help a team
out the season.
Speaker 5 (06:24):
Man, I already see your answer. I can't believe you're
doing this.
Speaker 6 (06:27):
Guys, I told you who I'm going to talk about
more guys, the Saints. We need your doll I know
BG got a little locker in another locker room. This
guy probably got a statue outside the stadium.
Speaker 5 (06:40):
And I don't know.
Speaker 6 (06:40):
Drew has things with his right arm and his right
should Drew just step up in a huddle.
Speaker 5 (06:44):
I don't care what it is.
Speaker 4 (06:45):
Like.
Speaker 5 (06:45):
We need some faith, we need some belief, We need.
Speaker 6 (06:48):
Some Just go lead the pregame huddle like you've done
for decades, Like that's what we need.
Speaker 5 (06:52):
We need. We need to go back. We need Drew
Brees back throwing the ball around the.
Speaker 6 (06:56):
Super Dome or the Caesars Dome, whatever it's called nowadays.
Speaker 5 (07:00):
We just need this guy or whatever.
Speaker 3 (07:02):
So what I heard you just say, Manti, is it
you vow to talk about a team.
Speaker 5 (07:05):
I'm going all in.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
And then you asked the.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
Guy who is a right handed throwing quarterback who has
shoulder and arm she's on his right.
Speaker 5 (07:12):
Side, to just step in the huddle.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
And that's what's going to make you talk about the
Just make sure we.
Speaker 6 (07:16):
Understand the belief that this guy that the team has
in this guy.
Speaker 5 (07:20):
I think that was going to rally him out. I
don't know years, No, guys, I just want the hoo.
That's to be really really good again. It was Ron's
bringing back Archie man into he can still hawk it.
We'll take them off. Go ahead, go ahead, and Mike,
thank you, thank you. Do you have a stencil for that?
I know, masent talented guy.
Speaker 7 (07:42):
In many ways, this one's not going to be sexy,
although when we roll the videotape in a couple of seconds,
you're going to see some sexy Michael Pierce with the
Baltimore Raven.
Speaker 5 (07:51):
Definitely not sexy. Michael, uh No, you want to see sexy?
Here comes out? Is this the play? Right? Get Ross?
He's back of the news.
Speaker 7 (07:58):
Yeah, it's rough there, you know, falling under three hundred
and fifty yeah, of defensive tackle. The Ravens lost I'm
the matabikee for the season earlier this year with a
neck injury, and that has been an enormous loss for
that team and that defensive front. You could plug in
three hundred and fifty five pounds of pick six or
no big Man maybe interception.
Speaker 5 (08:19):
I believe this is it right here, Yes, there it
is now. I wanted to see how far he was
gonna take that thing. I run it all that way.
This is the best. Maybe if it was in plus.
Speaker 7 (08:30):
Territory, the Ravens could absolutely use Michael Pierce. You know,
Brandon Graham said last year he didn't want to mess
up the storybook ending like we went out we won
the Super Bowl. I feel like I need to rid
Michael Pierce probably felt like this is the storybook ending
for him.
Speaker 5 (08:41):
Big Man in unbel he had a long way to go.
He'd still be running in that play. Ay, that's a
great answer, Mike. You pulled it out all right. Now.
We have already done thirty times more.
Speaker 4 (08:52):
Saints talk in this segment that I should do this
entire month, but you're gonna see your name, and I
don't wanted to think Saints, I'm gonna try to talk
you out of it. How about this guy, Derek Carr. Sat,
Derek Carr just up in leaves and he's got an injury,
but not the Saints.
Speaker 5 (09:04):
Derek Carr.
Speaker 4 (09:05):
I wanted to go back to the Raiders, who could
really really Yes Raiders, Derek Carr. Guys, I feel like
Derek Carr was.
Speaker 5 (09:14):
Supposed to have just this one playoff.
Speaker 4 (09:17):
Run, like where he wins a game or two, and
he was just never gonna make it happen.
Speaker 5 (09:21):
He just walked away and he's looked at.
Speaker 4 (09:24):
As this really nice guy and this respected leader, and
sure enough, like he leaves the Saints and they owed
him thirty million dollars that he could have taken, and
he's like, I don't want to just take their money.
Speaker 5 (09:34):
I'm just gonna give it what such unbelievable thing that's.
Speaker 4 (09:37):
Not talked about enough. He left that on the table.
And then he shows up and he's doing broadcasts and
he's naturally, he's funny, he's charismatic. I just would like
to see him one time in January and make a run,
especially for the Raiders when it's all just gone to hell.
Derek Carr like if he the glass broke and Derek
Carr's music played and he walked out on the field,
I think people would go nuts.
Speaker 5 (09:55):
He's a Raider, true and true, but he's gone. He
walked away.
Speaker 3 (09:58):
At this point in the season, Kyle, you think if
Derek Carr filed the paperwork to come back in, you
think that would be the thing that writes the ship
for the Raiders and then we could see him playing
in January in that division.
Speaker 5 (10:08):
Yeah, it's gonna.
Speaker 4 (10:08):
Have to take Derek Carr and David Carr and lots
of real car I mean it's gonna take a lot,
but also Derek Carr. I think it's still rehabbing an
injury at Nord Car wherever he is at random Car,
all the cars, the car is the actual band would
have to play halftime like all of that.
Speaker 3 (10:25):
That extra spark. This segment is very entertaining. There's a
couple of moments from the season already that have been
a laugh out loud funny, Like last week, Gwen Aaron
Rodgers threw a touchdown pass to Pat Fryarmooth and it
was all joyful and celebratory.
Speaker 8 (10:39):
Even the older Rodgers was.
Speaker 3 (10:41):
Skipping in celebration to the sideline until he wasn't his
own offensive lineman Roderick Jones took him down. That that's fine, yay, yay,
tap him on the chest, let him get off the ground.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
See daylight. Don't do this, don't do that. Don't spoke
about this moment. Take a listen.
Speaker 9 (11:00):
Joking about it at home. Yeah, he was a little man,
but are you know? It's football. It gets intense on
but you know it's still no love loss.
Speaker 5 (11:09):
It's always it's just the energy that he brings in
that I bring.
Speaker 9 (11:12):
He told me, don't lose the fire, and I told
him the same. So you know, we shall see on Sunday.
Healthy throws another Touchdow don't want to tackle him in the.
Speaker 3 (11:22):
I might tackle him again, Roderick, don't do that, Kyle said,
that was one of the funniest moments of the season.
Kyle's got a pretty good list over the last couple
of years in GMFB. I'm thinking of a Raiders play
again that tops the list. But from twenty twenty five,
man Ti, what's your funniest moment of the season so far?
Speaker 6 (11:37):
Funniest moment is when Jared Golf tried to jump into
the stands and he needed some assistance.
Speaker 5 (11:42):
Guys. You know who the head coach.
Speaker 6 (11:43):
Is for the for the Detroit Lions, Yeah, Dan Campbell.
Speaker 5 (11:47):
You know where it was the Saints. Right here. I
got Jared Golf trying to get helped too. The help
my man out, help the Saints, Dan Campbell.
Speaker 3 (11:57):
I feel like I can hear the noises that Golf
was making try to get there.
Speaker 10 (12:00):
He's like, oh, guys, help me, help me, help me,
help me, guys, I'm not a moner of Saint Brown,
me into the stance.
Speaker 5 (12:05):
We had that family on.
Speaker 6 (12:06):
Our show a little bit after that moment, so that
would be one of the funniest moments so far.
Speaker 7 (12:11):
All right, before I show it, it's a peach emoji.
Just to be clear, Yes, nice to me. It was
Jalen Hurts Chris Jones going back and forth at the
end of the game as the Eagles We're kneeling down.
Shut your peach emoji up roll the videotape.
Speaker 5 (12:31):
Yeah. I don't think we even ran a little caption there.
Definitely said it, though.
Speaker 7 (12:35):
It was Chris Jones who was apoplectic, like, you.
Speaker 5 (12:39):
Guys didn't even read for one hundred yards and you're
gonna win it.
Speaker 7 (12:41):
He sort of almost was talking to himself, and Jalen
Hurts is like, we won the bleeping game. Shut you
bleep up, takes a snap on a knee.
Speaker 5 (12:48):
I thought it was fantastic. All of us have that energy.
When Manti talks about to say, it's like, oh, here
we go again. Listen, we're seven We're seven games in.
Speaker 4 (12:58):
We've seen a lot of amusing things, We've seen a
lot of entertaining things, and there is still nothing that's
made me. It's still Broaderick Jones blind This is an
unbelievably funny thing.
Speaker 5 (13:07):
And let me give it a little context. Okay, Robert
Jones is the left tackle. Literally, his job is to
protect Aaron Rodgers' backside, and he blindsides him. More context.
Speaker 4 (13:17):
In this game against the Bengals, Aaron Rodgers was not
sacked once. In the prior game for the Steelers, Aaron
Rodgers not sacked once. He has not been getting hit
until his own guy at way over three bills takes
him down. I have a relatable thing where every time
I go to the grocery store, my son likes to
push the cart. It's a little fun, it's to thrill
(13:38):
for an eleven year old to push the cart, and
I'll be looking the shelves and I'll be doing this
and doing this. Inevitably, he rams the cart into the
back of my achilles tendon, right where that lower shelf
thing is. And I react just like Rogers, right here
yet what you're doing? And I'm down on one knee
in Aisle five of the grocery store. And he's like, oh, sorry, sorry,
(13:58):
it happened last time.
Speaker 5 (13:59):
It'll happen next time.
Speaker 4 (14:01):
That is how it feels when your tackle tackles you.
Speaker 5 (14:04):
By the way, in this moment of pure.
Speaker 4 (14:06):
Jubilation, it says, if I had just left the deli
counter with like free salami and was eating, I'm going
He's cobording to the sideline at forty one years old,
about to be embraced by his sidelent and then oh
down imagine.
Speaker 5 (14:19):
I mean, I hate Daven for this. What if Rogers
was injured in that play?
Speaker 4 (14:21):
Then it's like, can you imagine what if that led
to some sort of shoulder injury or something?
Speaker 5 (14:26):
Thank god it didn't.
Speaker 4 (14:27):
But Rogers is like, I'm forty one, I was born
in the early eighties. You know how hard it is
to stay alive in the NFL. I got this guy
jumping on my back. It's so funny. And his reaction,
I'm sure Roger's be like, yeah, I was just giving
him some crap.
Speaker 5 (14:39):
Now.
Speaker 4 (14:39):
He was pissed, unbelievably mad, and I'm sure he calmed down.
But the fact that he was so mad and the
path that brod Jones was like, I thought it was funny.
Speaker 5 (14:47):
I might do it again. Hilarious. I love that moment.
Speaker 3 (14:49):
That is a generational trauma that transcends all ages. Kyle,
you can't tell me that you did not do that
to your own parents. Whoever was grocery shopping growing up?
Speaker 4 (14:57):
Okay, good, Yes, the grocery carts haven't changed in fifty years.
There's still three good wheels on one crappy one that
spins like this. I did it to my dad, and
my grandson will do it to my son.
Speaker 7 (15:08):
They even have the ones where you put the items
in and it recognized them immediately.
Speaker 5 (15:12):
Still on that one the wheels up.
Speaker 3 (15:13):
Yeah, yeah, exactly what, Jey, is the smartest part.
Speaker 6 (15:17):
You've ever h I shot in the future, Mike Gie,
you were in a whole nother tax bracket.
Speaker 3 (15:22):
My man, what are you doing jersey, Judy Batisa and
I and Rappaport are at the NFL Fall League meeting. Guys,
(15:43):
if you want to have a take on Mike gb
Tony Parker or the Toush push, Judy, go ahead, what
have you.
Speaker 11 (15:48):
We will hear from Commissioner Roger Goodell in a few hours.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
Here to wrap up this meeting.
Speaker 11 (15:52):
But something really interesting that came up yesterday was the
toush push, because that's all we talk.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
About basically in the NFL.
Speaker 11 (15:59):
We talked to football operations executives yesterday and Troy Vincent
said they are having trouble.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
Officiating the touch push. This has been an issue all season.
Speaker 11 (16:09):
Are the Eagles jumping before they should be jumping? And
he admitted a line judge that's the judge that would
be responsible for calling it, has trouble seeing if they
are moving before the snap, and he said they are
trying to get better at it. But look, we know
that the league try to get rid of this play
in the off season last year they talked about the
(16:31):
health and safety issues, the concerns about it, and certainly
you would expect that as this goes forward, and we
expect this to come up again in the off season,
whether they want the toush push to remain in the game.
You would think ian that their issues with officiating, the
fact that they are having a tough time officiating it
properly is going to enter the conversation.
Speaker 12 (16:51):
Yeah, the NFL really has gone round and round on
the toush push.
Speaker 5 (16:54):
Right, still a topic of conversation.
Speaker 12 (16:56):
Still, as they mentioned, actually one team that does it
pretty well.
Speaker 5 (16:59):
That would be the Eagles. A bunch of other.
Speaker 12 (17:00):
Teams to try to do it and just to be real,
don't do it Q as well. But there are I
mean several facets of like, here's why we should outlaw
it's not really a football player.
Speaker 5 (17:11):
That is my stand.
Speaker 12 (17:11):
Scare Phone knows that and has argued with me on
many many days on the Insiders about this. There was
the health and safety issue, which seem like it's there's
really been any big injuries there, although certainly a fact
a couple scares and obviously the fear of it, and
then it's hard to officiate part of it, which is
sort of the newest and also the oldest because that's
kind of how this started. I don't know where it
(17:33):
goes from here, but it continues to be a topic
of conversation, continues to be something where they are weighing
doing away, And at some point, Judy, you have to
just think like, maybe enough is enough and they outlawed,
but that decision is not going to probably come.
Speaker 2 (17:48):
Until the spring.
Speaker 11 (17:49):
Right last offseason they dealt with it. Remember they got
very close to removing it last year in a matter
of weeks. They swung a whole lot of votes against
the tush push, certainly, and that was on health and
safety ramifications that they were conned about. So certainly, if
they revisited in the off season, as we fully expect
that they will do, you would think they will really
(18:11):
lean into trying.
Speaker 2 (18:14):
To get the play out of the game.
Speaker 11 (18:17):
Certainly, the Eagles are not going to like it. The
Eagles are outstanding and executing it, but the league and
the other owners have a whole lot of concerns about
the play.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
Jamie, Yeah, they do.
Speaker 3 (18:28):
And everyone's got an opinion now about it. It's emerged
with some ferocity. Thanks Judy, Thanks Ian, It's time to
go three and out on GMFB.
Speaker 8 (18:35):
First down.
Speaker 3 (18:36):
After hearing from our insiders, just now, MANSI, where do
you stand on the toush push and the nature of
the beasts.
Speaker 6 (18:42):
Well, as far as the play is concerned, I don't
have an issue to fit. The only issue they covered
it a little bit judy and rap sheet is the encroachment.
That's something that I don't know how they try to remedy.
The remedy that. The only way that I can think
about it is if it's reviewable. And the last time
that we reviewed penalties was pass interference penalties in twenty nineteen.
Speaker 5 (19:05):
But I don't know. If you just throw the flag
and just repeat, I just don't know.
Speaker 6 (19:09):
I the only this advantage to that is they get
a jump start on their movements. Other than that, the
play itself, I don't Is it a football play? Is
it not a football play?
Speaker 5 (19:20):
I don't really have.
Speaker 6 (19:21):
An opinion on that because it's not.
Speaker 5 (19:23):
A rugby play. I played rugby as well. It's not
a rugby play.
Speaker 6 (19:27):
But if they can figure out a way to remedy
this whole encroachment and off side sting, I think it
stays in the game.
Speaker 5 (19:35):
It drives me crazy. Go on what I hear this.
Speaker 7 (19:39):
It started as it's tough to officiate, then it went
to it's not.
Speaker 5 (19:44):
A football play. It doesn't look like a football.
Speaker 7 (19:46):
Then it became the health thing. I mean, we've talked
injury concern that injury. Now we're back to it's hard
to officiate. And I think by the spring it'll be
the Chappelle Show Pop copy segment.
Speaker 5 (20:00):
If you haven't seen that one before, go check it out.
And he says, why because bleep them. That's why. That's why.
Speaker 7 (20:07):
I think that's where we're And you know what, if
we just got there and we just landed there, I
think I'd just be happier with the whole process and
be like, well, at least you're admitting it at.
Speaker 5 (20:18):
This point because I'll hear this stuff.
Speaker 7 (20:19):
The health There is no there's been no internet on
health and safety.
Speaker 5 (20:22):
It doesn't look like a football player.
Speaker 7 (20:23):
Can think of a other football players, it's tough to officiate.
Speaker 5 (20:26):
Blah blah blah blah. I did ask Troy Vince yesterday
because he.
Speaker 7 (20:29):
Said it's hard from the sideline for the officials, who
ordinarily on a regular play would see that interior alignment
before the snap, they can't see.
Speaker 5 (20:37):
It because they're so far away. I said, what if
you move them in? He said, well, we can't do
that because.
Speaker 7 (20:41):
Even if they're in that formation doesn't mean they're necessarily
going to run.
Speaker 5 (20:44):
They could run something else running it already. So that's
the hard to officiate part.
Speaker 4 (20:48):
But should the officials have like binoculars or something like this?
Speaker 5 (20:52):
Stand there, bring them closer? I mentioned this on air
last night.
Speaker 7 (20:55):
Rappaport goes as I'm saying it interrupts me.
Speaker 5 (20:58):
Kind of like I'm doing to you now.
Speaker 7 (20:59):
Sorry, suspend the referee over the line of scrimmage, I said,
slay like oh.
Speaker 4 (21:06):
Like the Falcons mascot that comes down for the state,
like lady Kaga.
Speaker 5 (21:10):
All right, I'll be very quick. I've said this, Jame,
you know, for well. I think all the.
Speaker 4 (21:15):
Ammunition against the tush push I think is nonsense. I
do like it as a football play. I think it's
you push, we push, you can push harder. I don't
think it's an injured concern, And I resent that they
throw that around to try to get attention because I
don't think it is one. But it's gone where I
can't follow where they're committing a blatant penalty, the false
starting thing that is a penalty.
Speaker 5 (21:33):
You can't do that.
Speaker 4 (21:34):
And you see these super slow motion replays or you
see screen caps where the Eagles helmet is way in
front of the ball from the right guard or left guard.
You can't as a referee. I don't care how old
you are, how far are you. It happens too quickly
in real time. You can't say, well, well they false started.
You don't even know for sure. So the fact that
they're committing a bona fide, unarguable penalty when they do
(21:57):
it most of the time.
Speaker 5 (21:58):
I think it's gone where I can't follow.
Speaker 4 (21:59):
And I hate to say that because I've been rocking
for the toush push, But you can't commit penalties.
Speaker 5 (22:03):
It's just that's not the way the league works.
Speaker 3 (22:05):
Well, we'll see how this thing wraps up once again
in the league meeting next spring, when it's the annual
league meeting for the NFL. Until then, more juicy headlines
come out for second Down on GMFB of three and out,
Jets owner Woody Johnson was asked his thoughts on his
team's zero to seven start, and he was not try
expressing his opinion.
Speaker 13 (22:26):
Well, the record speaks for itself. Yeah, but I don't
go to any game thinking I'm gonna lose, So I'm
hopeful every Sunday I just think defense. Special teams are
doing better. The defense is pretty good. If we can
just complete a pass, it would look good. You know,
we got to complete some paths. You got to convince
(22:48):
them that you could do something. Otherwise. It's hard to have,
you know, have a game that you can win.
Speaker 14 (22:56):
You know, it's hard when you have a quarterback with
you know, okay, with a rating that you know, god,
you know, it's I mean, he has the but something
just is not driving. But if you look at any
head coach at a quarterback like that, you're going to
see similar results.
Speaker 3 (23:12):
I Mean, he just quadrupled down on that take on
Justin Fields, and he tried to come back out of
it a little bit by saying, well, he's the ability,
it's just not driving. Manti, please translate in your mind
Woody Johnson's take on Justin Field's play.
Speaker 6 (23:25):
Well, I'll say what I see in Justin fields play.
I think oftentimes a reluctance to make a mistake in
pursuit of trying to be perfect results in you not
really making movement at all. And that's what I see
at Justin Fields. He's constantly waiting.
Speaker 5 (23:38):
For the perfect scenario to throw the ball.
Speaker 6 (23:41):
There's man coverage, whatever, whatever the relationship with the dB
to his receivers are. He's waiting for those perfect moments
and it sometimes most times it just takes too long
and he gets sacked or he gets rushed or pressured.
I can't fault with you on this because the entire
team the ren game is looking really good. Yeah, Garrett Wilson,
(24:02):
who's one of the premier receivers in the game. And
you have a defense that is that that comes up
with big stops with your quarterback.
Speaker 5 (24:10):
I see a quarterback that's just frozen.
Speaker 6 (24:12):
He's he's trying to analyze things and trying to wait
for the perfect moment, and just luck in life, you
wait for the perfect moment, there is none and you
just stuck in the same place.
Speaker 7 (24:20):
Mirchie Whatdy Johnson usually shows up to these events and
games in a Jets hat.
Speaker 5 (24:24):
He was wearing a Crystal Palace hat.
Speaker 7 (24:26):
He actually said at one point that the fans are
true blue, and then he had to correct himself to Green.
I think there may have been a little bit of
a hidden message there.
Speaker 5 (24:33):
I don't know.
Speaker 7 (24:34):
I'm supposedly going to pep Guardiola now to a Halloween
party that again I should probably catch up on my
soccer is Crystal Palace only probably better than the Jets
are doing right now. He did Jamie walk through the
lobby again after the meeting was done yesterday.
Speaker 5 (24:48):
And Judy talked to him.
Speaker 7 (24:50):
Judy Patista talked him for like twenty minutes, and he
didn't walk anything back, and he's like, you know, I'm right.
So it was definitely calculated. He didn't take it back.
He didn't say, hey, I was taken out of context
or anything like that. He meant to say what he
meant to say. I just don't know how that flies now.
In the locker, I'm like, you know, you walk in
you Justin Field's like.
Speaker 5 (25:07):
Dude, you hear the boss like not great.
Speaker 4 (25:11):
One of the things I respect the most about Justin Fields,
and we've seen this going back to Chicago. He keeps
his head down and his mouth shut. He is not
someone who pops off. He doesn't criticize teammates. He hasn't
had much success winning, but I really at least.
Speaker 5 (25:22):
Respect how he goes about his business. Part of me,
in this instance wishes that it was not the case.
Speaker 4 (25:28):
Because if you are Justin Fields and you're fighting and
you're doing your best and you have this bad team,
this bad situation, then you have to hear this. Maybe
you might retort with something about, like, what did you
expect from me?
Speaker 5 (25:40):
What did you think you were getting?
Speaker 4 (25:42):
I'm a sixty one percent passer. I've shown this for years.
Do you think I was Steve Young?
Speaker 5 (25:46):
Like?
Speaker 4 (25:47):
I'm justin fields? Mike Tomlin sat me down for Russell Wilson.
What did you You paid me forty million bucks to
get here? And while we're on the topic, sir, is
it possible that maybe is not me? And there's so
many organizational things going on? Because if you want to
complete a pass A couple of years ago, you brought
in probably the most act you're at passer in NFL history,
and he flopped and fell on his face. Last year,
(26:10):
let's go back even further, you had the number two
overall pick in the draft, this dimple faced kid with
a live arm. He fell on his face in this building.
Then you had the number three pick in the draft,
a guy at a USC who's gone on to have
great success with other organizations, and he fell on his
face in this building. So maybe it is something to
(26:31):
do with the building to respect your building, sir, and
maybe not me running around trying to make plays on
behalf of your building. That's what I might say if
I was justin fields, but he probably will not. He
is a different type of guy, That's what I would say.
Speaker 5 (26:44):
Though.
Speaker 3 (26:45):
If you look at the transcript on Kyle's last take,
I'm pretty sure he led with I'm going to keep
this short, which is essentially what Woudy Johnson tried to do,
and he went.
Speaker 5 (26:52):
For Kyle was I was a good.
Speaker 3 (26:55):
Long run on the history of the Jets quarterbacking in
the last ten years, and you're like, no, no, no,
I'm just going to keep this brief, well done third down.
In November of last year, Daniel Jones, after having played
a game in Germany, after having received an angry run scepter,
was released by the New York Giants in a highly
publicized move. Then in March, he signed with the Colts
after a week long stint with the Minnesota Vikings. And
(27:18):
now he's under center for Indianapolis, the NFL's highest scoring offense.
He looks great, and he's out there talking to his
bleak for his team. Catch this moment in postgame interview
with CBS's Evan Washburn and Daniel Jones had this to say.
Speaker 10 (27:30):
About some doubters, Not that you care, but those of
us on the outside, I think are a little surprised
just how well this team is playing to start the season.
What do we need to know about this group that
maybe we didn't know going into the year.
Speaker 5 (27:46):
I mean, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (27:46):
It sounds like sounds like YA didn't know much.
Speaker 5 (27:50):
It's a feel good story.
Speaker 3 (27:52):
You who took a lot of heat from the fans
in the New York and the media market for the Giants.
So I ask you guys this, do you have a
favorite comeback story from any professional player in any sports ever?
Speaker 5 (28:04):
Mansai?
Speaker 3 (28:05):
Some people might say, Daniel Jones, what's yours?
Speaker 6 (28:07):
Well, one of my favorite athletes of all time and
rest in pieces Kobe Bryant, and in his last game
at thirty seven year old old, dropped sixty points against
the Utah Jazz to bring them back after being.
Speaker 5 (28:17):
Down double digits.
Speaker 6 (28:18):
So we had a segment on if if I could
tell the youth about somebody, I mean, this is somebody
who had a tremendous impact on me. The Mama mentality
is something that I tried to live by. He wasn't perfect,
but everything that he embodied as a competitor, I try
to embody in my game, and I thought that the
game that he had against a Utah Jazz twenty years
in the league, helping them to win one hundred one
(28:40):
on one to ninety six, and his last final game
and ending it with mamba out.
Speaker 5 (28:45):
That would be the comeback story for me. Jack.
Speaker 7 (28:48):
I remember in nineteen ninety four over Brian Fry's house,
my friend he had access to pay per view.
Speaker 5 (28:54):
Put it to you that way.
Speaker 7 (28:56):
I think the Statute of Limitations is up on that,
so I'll out him publicly. But we watched the George
Foreman Michael Moore fight.
Speaker 5 (29:02):
Oh it's great one forty.
Speaker 7 (29:03):
Five years old for George Foreman coming back to win
the heavyweight chit. I still don't understand how that punched there.
I'm watching it right now. As a matter of fact,
resulted in that knockout. I've had some boxing experts explained
to me why it was more devastating than it looked. Fine, whatever,
I actually looked this up this morning. I thought he
was a bigger underdog. It's only like a two to
one underdog in this one.
Speaker 5 (29:22):
But do you know how many grills my man sold
that night. Look for you, George Foreman.
Speaker 4 (29:27):
George Foreman reached a point in his career when he
would enter the ring to Hakuna Matata because his children
liked the song. So he was this big scary boxer,
but he was saying it means no worries, wonderful phrase.
It was a shock and awe when he dropped Michael
Moore and Michael Moore who had beaten Evander Holyfield for
the belt, to nobody beat holy Field back in the day.
Speaker 5 (29:45):
Mine is Jamie.
Speaker 4 (29:46):
Admittedly a little more of an inspirational story than a comeback,
but it's certainly a comeback from a card that life
deals you. I wish the young people knew about Jim Abbott.
Jim Abbott was a pitcher in the Major leagues. He
won eighty some games, played mostly for the Angels and
the Yankees. One catch. He didn't have a hand, his
right hand. He was born without it. It's in a ridiculous,
(30:07):
really cool story. He was a left handed pitcher with
one hand. He threw a no hitter, a no hitter
in the Big leagues in which he had this incredible
style war he had the ball in his hand. He
would put his glove on the remnants of his forearm,
on his right appendage, and then throw the ball and
transfer the glove onto the forearm. Teams would back in
the day, they'd be crucified for this, but back in
(30:28):
the day, they would deliberately bunt against Maddox or against
Abbott to try to get the ball to get on base,
and he.
Speaker 5 (30:35):
Would switch the glove back and forth and throw it.
Incredible thing that he'd even made it to the majors.
He won.
Speaker 4 (30:41):
He threw up perfect games and really really cool thing,
no hand, lefty heat, all kinds of talent, and he
did it in spite of that.
Speaker 5 (30:47):
Now does motivacial speaking, it's amazing. Imagine that.
Speaker 4 (30:50):
I mean, it's it's not a basketball player with one hand,
but it's not not that.
Speaker 5 (30:53):
It's really really close. And I just still wish more
people knew that story.
Speaker 7 (30:56):
I think about Jim Abbott, damn near every single day.
Speaker 5 (30:59):
Is that right? You want to know why? Yeah, you
have a phone number, first.
Speaker 4 (31:01):
Name in the film book, Oh ab So you always
assue him?
Speaker 5 (31:05):
I always sebbit.
Speaker 7 (31:07):
Now, the reason of mine my contact is I wrote
a story for NFL dot com Go check it out
on Shaquem Griffin when he was in the draft process,
and I spoke to Jim Abbott about that, the fact
that he was I don't know if he had spoken
him at that point he planned to, but he was
definitely rooting for Shaquem Griffin given that they both had
the same issue playing professional sports with no hand.
Speaker 5 (31:27):
Good for you, Jim Abbitt, there's a thirty for thirty.
Go check out.
Speaker 2 (31:29):
Kyle.
Speaker 3 (31:30):
Who was the first contact in your phone book?
Speaker 4 (31:32):
I thought it was gonna be somebody fun. It's just
it's just my friend Erin Ginsberg, who's a R O N. Sorry,
so I don't have a picture or anyone cool, anybody
got all.
Speaker 5 (31:40):
He should be in the g's though, you gotta That's
not how I enter it. My cousin Alona is the
last name.
Speaker 3 (31:46):
It depends on if you have the I I alphabetized
by the first name. So mine is Aaron Jones because
I go by first name. So the packer the Vikings, Yeah,
because he was on.
Speaker 2 (31:55):
Our show for the week.
Speaker 5 (31:56):
But Kyle, do you remember this.
Speaker 3 (31:58):
We made him look into the camera twenty seven times
and plead to Aaron Rodgers to stay in Green Bay
and he wore some glasses entire time, and then.
Speaker 5 (32:06):
Rogers went to the Jets.
Speaker 3 (32:07):
It was like, really, yeah, but great dude, and now
he's doing awesome things with the Vikings. But yeah, it
depends on how you alphabetize your phone.
Speaker 8 (32:13):
Contact good football mindor.
Speaker 3 (32:33):
Keep trying lock in everybody. The Giants are coming off
of an absolute heart wrenching loss to the Denver Broncos,
but they have to turn things around emotionally to face
an NFC East rival in a showdown with the Eagles
on Sunday Yesterday, Jackson Dart spoke to the media about
how the team plans to respond in week.
Speaker 15 (32:52):
You know, pride myself on trying not to let you know,
things in the past effect what I'm going to do
in the future, and you know, as a team, we
can't let that happen.
Speaker 5 (32:58):
We can't know.
Speaker 15 (32:59):
We got to find ways to finish games. We gotta
find ways to win games, you know, and get on
a roll. So we have to be very present in
each moment that we have. We have to play each
game individually as hard as we can to make sure
that things, you know, like last week didn't happen, don't happen.
Speaker 5 (33:17):
All right, man, so I buying or keep trying?
Speaker 3 (33:18):
Are you buying the fact that the Giants are gonna
be able to move past the devastating loss to the
Broncos and click in emotionally against the Eagles?
Speaker 5 (33:24):
I think so.
Speaker 6 (33:25):
I think it's very important that the Giants understand that
for forty five minutes of that game, you played better
than the majority of the guys and teams have played
the entire season. Like it was nineteen to zero at
the end of the third quarter. When I see a
team kind of fall off like that, that's just situational,
and you know, let's be honest. I don't think that
Giants even anticipated that they would be up that much,
(33:46):
like when they're when you're a team that is used
to being up that much, there's a way to play
the game, and I think there's so much youth there
that it may have slipped by them.
Speaker 5 (33:56):
So I do. I am buying that they will respond.
Speaker 6 (33:59):
They will build off because all of the stuff that
happened that were negative against the Broncos situational. That comes
with coaching, That comes with identifying where you can do better,
and I think they will do better.
Speaker 5 (34:09):
So I do I am buying on.
Speaker 7 (34:11):
This, Jamie, I went back and tried to look at history,
because you know the old Godfather line, if history has
taught us anything.
Speaker 5 (34:19):
The problem is it's a mixed bag.
Speaker 7 (34:21):
You've got some bad teams that blew some leads, the
Jeff Saturday Colts from a couple of years ago, so
it's tough.
Speaker 5 (34:27):
To compare it.
Speaker 7 (34:27):
Although I do think that this is a decent Giants team,
and I remember covering a good, good Giants team back
in twenty ten when they blew that game against the Eagles,
the Miracle at.
Speaker 5 (34:38):
The Metal Lands, Matt Dodge. Here we go, Geck, get
out of bounds game.
Speaker 7 (34:43):
Burt your eyes, Giants fans for the second time in
four days.
Speaker 5 (34:46):
Here the following week, December.
Speaker 7 (34:50):
Twenty sixth Now at the time, by the way, the
Giants were on a three game winning streak. They wound
up being a ten and six team that didn't make
the playoffs. That was the old Coughlan they can kiss
by behind postgame quote. This team was shook in this
game against the Packers seventeen. There was also a plain
issue on the back end. They couldn't get out of
Green Bay like it was just a miserable experience. For
(35:12):
everybody involved in this game. It has the potential to
linger and to hang over your heads.
Speaker 5 (35:19):
So good luck Giants. If they did move past, it
wouldn't be surprised. I'm gonna keep trying on this one.
I hear you. I think this is a big, big, big,
big week for.
Speaker 4 (35:27):
Brian Dable, Like I'd love to know what he's had
to say to his players behind closed doors. What is
his message, What is his message right after the game?
What is his message this week?
Speaker 5 (35:36):
Personally?
Speaker 4 (35:36):
In our little show here, I've been saying since the
game was over that it's I know that they gave
up thirty three points in that an all time meltdown,
but with a rookie quarterback and a lot of new pieces,
they were up nineteen to nothing on the road against
the best defense in the NFL.
Speaker 5 (35:47):
That's the takeaway.
Speaker 4 (35:48):
They have a guy in Dart, They have a team
that could capable of doing that.
Speaker 5 (35:51):
Can they harness that?
Speaker 4 (35:52):
Again, that's coaching, that's coaching and that psychology. They're playing
a team that they beat by three scores a couple
of weeks ago. This was Giant Siegels. Was not a
good game. They absolutely bludgeon them and it was like,
Oh my god, what's wrong with the Eagles?
Speaker 5 (36:05):
Here come the Giants. They should not only compete.
Speaker 4 (36:09):
You're telling me they're going to win by three scores
and two weeks later they're going to lose. Why Because
this in Philly, this should be a very, very very
close game. If Ryan Dabele has a handle on this
team psychologically, football wise, I just want to say one
quick thing about Saquon Barkley. I hate being right, and
for the entire offseason I said, no, he won't even
come close to two thousand yards. He won't even snippe it,
because no one ever does.
Speaker 5 (36:29):
After they get two thousand.
Speaker 4 (36:31):
You know, Saquan's high rushing yards this year this year
is eighty eight yards. He has zero one hundred yard
games last year at fourteen fourteen.
Speaker 5 (36:39):
It's not working. It's not running.
Speaker 4 (36:41):
And this is a totally different team that Philadelphia. Last
year it was Saquon left, Saquon right, and then eventually
Jalen would have to make a couple of throws. It's
not working in the run game at all. One of
the only things that works dependently for Philly is is
the toush push. But they're not getting down there with Saquon,
so I think that plays into the Giants hands. It'll
be a study, especially Jamie. I think if the Giants
will say they go down ten nothing in the first
(37:02):
quarter and that defense is just like what is wrong
with us? Then we'll see the scars and let's see
how they start. But this is the Brian Dable barometer
game right now, leader motivator.
Speaker 5 (37:12):
Let's say what he's got.
Speaker 3 (37:13):
Let's keep the trend going a little bit. With Saquon
facing his forward team and moving over to Aaron Rodgers
and the Pittsburgh Steelers for the first time since his
departure from Green Bay, Rogers will face the Packers. Rogers
was asked about going up against his former team, probably
not just once or twice a lot, And here's what
he had to say.
Speaker 9 (37:30):
That you don't view this as a quote revenge opportunity
or whatever near to we want to try to throw
out there.
Speaker 16 (37:36):
I do. Why not, Well, Brett got traded and then
he went to one of the hated rivals. You know,
I was in New Jersey for a couple of years.
I don't have any animosity toward the organization. Obviously, I
wish to you know, things have been better than our
last year there. But you know, I have a great
(37:58):
relationship with a lot of people still in that organization,
and I don't This is not a revenge game for me.
I'm just decided to see some of those guys and
be on Sunday Night Football again.
Speaker 3 (38:09):
I can't believe this show has transpired the way that
his has. Honestly, on GMFB, Kyle Brandt, how did you
editorially move the.
Speaker 5 (38:16):
Chess pieces like this?
Speaker 3 (38:17):
You got Joe Flacco saying that he envies people that
dine by himself, which then you just absolutely cooked on.
You were able to talk about Wendy Peppercorn and San Lot,
and now you've got Rogers doubling down on the fact
that he himself is not calling this a revenge game,
a term in which you hate, and he is essentially
validating everything that you have ever said about revenge game.
Speaker 2 (38:37):
How did you do it well?
Speaker 4 (38:38):
Because we put it on a platter right now. For me,
as much as I amia Rodgers to just call BS
on him one hundred ten out of ten, full bs listen,
A lot of what he's saying is absolutely authentic and true.
Like he I think he has genuine love for the
Packers and that logo, and of course all the players.
And I think he's really good with Matt Lafleur. I
don't think he's good with the entire organization, namely some
(38:58):
people up in the front office who in the in
the prime of his career, really and it's like his
third prime as he's coming off of MVPs and all that.
They decided to draft a quarterback in the first round.
They decided to move up and draft a quarterback who
led the NFL, or led the nation and interceptions in college.
Speaker 5 (39:15):
They decided to move on from Rogers. Now. Is that
the right move? We can do that in oother segments.
Speaker 4 (39:20):
Since then, Jordan Love has won one playoff game, and
most of the time he looks pretty good.
Speaker 5 (39:24):
Rogers, believe me, is a lot of things. I think
he is.
Speaker 4 (39:28):
As enlightened as he is, and as positive and philosophical
about life and meaning and everything, he is still like
a football jerk. He still is all those things. He's
still very personal and very motivated. Do you think he
wants to lose to Jordan Love? No, you think he
wants to lose to Matt and Floor. No, you think
he wants to lose to everybody in the front office.
Speaker 5 (39:49):
Hell no, he is.
Speaker 4 (39:51):
A person who looks back and looks at meanings of
things and most meaningful moments in his life and career.
Speaker 5 (39:57):
This is one of them. Whether he wants to stay
it or not.
Speaker 4 (39:59):
He's not going to give you the quote, but watch
what he says after.
Speaker 5 (40:03):
The game when he wins.
Speaker 4 (40:04):
See if he does just a little twinkle in the
eye because he's got it loaded.
Speaker 5 (40:07):
Trust me, I don't buy it at all. I'll give
you a quote, Carl. Let's go back to week one,
before he played the Jets.
Speaker 6 (40:13):
He said, it's one game out of seventeen, and at
five o'clock Eastern on that Sunday, it's only going to
be It's going to be onto the next So that's just.
Speaker 5 (40:21):
The way it is.
Speaker 6 (40:21):
And then he had this to say after he beat
the Jets.
Speaker 16 (40:26):
I was happy to beat everybody associated with the Jets.
There were probably people in the organization I didn't think
I could play anymore, so it was nice to remind
those people I still can.
Speaker 5 (40:37):
I ain't invited it at all.
Speaker 6 (40:39):
Come on, now, you're talking about a franchise you spent
yet two years with, well really one year compared to
a franchise. You spent eighteen on a Super Bowl with
So we want to get quotes. I got quotes. I
got quotes from before the game, after the game. This
is a game that means It means a lot to
Aaron Rodgers. You know, for many different reasons. KB just
(41:00):
alluded to it and his take. But let's not get
it twisted. This guy keep receipts. He's very passionate about
the game, and he's very passionate about the Green Bay Packers.
So trust me, it's it's it's been a game that
he circled for a long time.
Speaker 7 (41:13):
I'm gonna buy this one, Okay, I am okay for
one huge reason. Packers at Steelers Acrasser Stadium, not lambeau Field.
Speaker 5 (41:24):
I hate they are not banging the drum all day.
They are you know, hang that renegade, renegade. They're gonna
they're gonna wave the terrible towels.
Speaker 7 (41:32):
I think that changes things FARV went back to Lambeau
This changes it totally.
Speaker 5 (41:38):
You know, it's it's the old you.
Speaker 7 (41:39):
Go walk down the tunnel, you make a right instead
of a left in the building that you made so
many lefts in. I think that that is the reason
that this is going to be a not just another game.
I can't buy it completely, but I can get a
big way there once that first snap happens.
Speaker 5 (41:54):
I don't think it's all those feelings.
Speaker 7 (41:56):
And as he said yesterday, absence may may makes the
heart grow fonder.
Speaker 5 (42:00):
I think that separates it a little bit for him.
Speaker 4 (42:02):
Here here's an interesting comp I think Rogers understands the moments,
He understands the story, He understands what he doesn't want
the story to be. The way he's talking about Green
Bay this week is very similar to him all his
times as a packer, the way he would talk about
the Bears, particularly at the end of his career with
the Packers, when he would dominate the Bears every single year.
Anytime he's asked about the Bears, he would always say, Oh,
(42:22):
it's just such a great rivalry and it's such a
great tradition and such a great organization over there, and it.
Speaker 5 (42:27):
Was all Bs because you know why.
Speaker 4 (42:29):
The second he got hit a little bit late and
looked up to the Bears fans of Soldier Field, he screams, Oh.
Speaker 5 (42:33):
My life, I own you. I'd bleep and own you
all of you. I own you. That was the real Rogers.
Speaker 4 (42:38):
He got caught up in the adrenaline and the facade
came down and he said what he really feels, which
I have dominated the Chicago Bears for my entire.
Speaker 5 (42:46):
Career, and I own you and you and this is
my stadium.
Speaker 4 (42:49):
That was the most authentic moment of Aaron Rodgers' media career.
Speaker 5 (42:53):
And he has a lot.
Speaker 4 (42:53):
Of authentic moments. We're not getting authentic Rodgers right here.
Speaker 5 (42:58):
There's just we need a little gas. When he pulls back.
Speaker 4 (43:00):
The curtain and he can really say how it feels
about the Packers. I don't think will say it until
maybe he's retired.
Speaker 5 (43:06):
But if he wins the game.
Speaker 4 (43:07):
And throws three touchdowns and beats him, like, there might
be a little wink.
Speaker 3 (43:10):
I have an idea along these lines. So he throws
like an eighty yard bomb a dk metcalf and he's
trotting up to the end zone to celebrate, like and
we saw him skipping celebrating you know recently. What if
he does his own form of the atreasure lambeau leap
into the renegade terrible towels and like just that's his
stamp of putting it on, making it his own version
(43:31):
of his home game against the Packers, and like you're
gonna have to see daylight though under the feet.
Speaker 5 (43:36):
That's what I'm worried about.
Speaker 3 (43:36):
Like he's really got to we gotta find maybe like
the lowest wall, just because I know he likes to
stay close to the ground and make sure like in
his in his seasoned veteran age, that he doesn't have anything.
Speaker 5 (43:45):
Discount, double check. That'd be good, you know, I mean
that the jumping, just to stay on the ground. And
I think it'd be.
Speaker 4 (43:51):
Cool if he found a pocket of Packers fans there
and jumped into them.
Speaker 5 (43:54):
How would they react? A total conf
Speaker 2 (44:02):
Good football
