Speaker 1 (00:04):
Good Morning Football is the production of the NFL in
partnership with iHeartRadio.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Welcome to Good Morning Football, presented by best Buy. It's Thursday, August.
Speaker 1 (00:13):
My first, I'm.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
Jamie art All. Here's man Saite Teo and joining us
once again at the breakfast table. NFL running back Chase
Edmund's back for Day two in person. We did not
scare him off. Kyle Brandt in New York as well. Kyle,
I'm so glad that best Buy is our friend today
because I'm gonna need the Geek Squad to work me
through on the GMFB Fantasy draft segment we have coming
up in about forty minutes.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
We do have a draft coming up. It's all kinds
of exciting. I wonder if the Geese squad can tell us, guys,
the opener is two weeks from Tonight's the NFL opener.
Does the backpage of the New York Post have the
Giants or Jets? It's football season and it's June. Carlos
Stanton on the Yankees, so we can't get there yet.
Come on, it's football time. Let's talk about the AFC champs.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
Welcome to Good Morning Football, presented by best Buy that's right,
JMFB everybody, Jamie Mantai, Kyle Chase. Kyle told us yesterday
he has a bit of a ritual to start the
show where he arrives, he's got his orange and his
coffee cup, and he flips over the back page of
the New York Post. And we've been disappointed this week
with the editorial decision making of the Post because it's
(01:27):
been all baseball. Okay, we want Jets, we want giants. Kyle,
personal question for you, have you yourself ever been in
the New York Post in print?
Speaker 1 (01:35):
Yeah? I think at some point and one another. I've
said some things on the show here in New York
based and they put me in here. I just hope
I'm never on the front page because as always, you
don't want to see what's here. I'm not even going
to turn it around. It's inappropriate. But look at on
the very very bottom it says Dart of the matter
and there's this posted stamp size picture of Jackson Dart.
But we're two weeks from the opener.
Speaker 3 (01:55):
Come on, come on, let's go.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
We owe.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
We have to then take you to somewhere else besides
New York to get our NFL headlines, and we'll take
you to a place that often would churn the headlines
out over the last couple of years. And the Kansas
City Chiefs. Back in Week one of the preseason, Patrick
Mahomes threw a touchdown on his only past attempts against
Arizona chief said coach Andy Reid says the starters will
be playing tomorrow Friday against Chicago.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
Chief Wide receiver.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
Juju Smith Shuster has been impressed with Mahomes constantly wanting
to improve his.
Speaker 4 (02:26):
Game him coming into this season. You can tell he's
a lot lighter mobility, you can see, and I would
say obviously his next level of like seeing the next
play seem to play ahead and kind of like visualizing
it has helped us out a lot. When you have
guys like the veteran players working hard every day, showing
(02:46):
up every day, put it in the work, put in
the effort, it just makes the younger guys kind of
just follow and that becomes the expectation here.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
So every day you got to show up in work
every day.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
Shout out to Jujus Smith Schuster for giving us the
Mahomes analytics there. We appreciate that after his experience into
the NFL. We're five months into the off season, Kyle
used it as two weeks from the opener. We look
at us five months into the off season. We have
talked about the Chiefs a lot less than we have
in previous seasons. The question becomes, are we still experiencing
Chiefs fatigue as we know it? Or have you just
(03:22):
skipped past the first eighteen weeks of the season instead
of basking in it? Do you have them pencil in
for an appearance in the AFC title game as we
know it? That's how we always see them, Kyle, which
one do you stand on?
Speaker 1 (03:34):
Well, it's interesting that we haven't talked about them much,
but I can speak for myself. It's not Chiefs fatigue.
It's not fatigue. It's just concession. You got it. You
run this thing, You run the AFC, even when you
don't win it, you still run it.
Speaker 5 (03:48):
You know it, I know it.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
Listen. The biggest compliment I can give the Chiefs is
that they're not terribly interesting right now in August of
twenty twenty five, and only because they're so consistently great.
Tell me what I should be not excited about, but
really genuinely interested For a show you want to sell me. Well,
they got blown out in the Super Bowl. I've seen
that before in the Mahomes era. Mahomes gets disrespected while
(04:11):
all the other quarterbacks get hyped. We've seen that too. Oh,
the AFC West is different this year. I heard that.
Last year Hardball's here, Sean Payton is here. The Raiders
smacked them on Christmas Day at Arrowhead. Guys, Mahome did
not lose to the AFC West. Last year. He was undefeated.
So you say, well, maybe they'll be without Rashi Rice
at times this year. They were without him for all
(04:32):
of last year. You say, well, what if the Chiefs
just kind of lose their mojo and Mahomes doesn't have
his usual magic. I heard that for six months last
year they won fifteen games, they won the AFC.
Speaker 6 (04:43):
It's just it's the Chiefs.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
You stand there and you do nothing. You want to
do something interesting, lose the division around one of these
years that would be the chief version of interesting, and
that they end in the final eight instead of the
final four. You know, you look at these different dynasties
that we've been involved with, and then in my adult life,
do you want to do something interesting? Patrick Mahomes win
the Super Bowl this year, walk away and go play
minor league baseball for a couple of seasons. Why not
(05:07):
do that?
Speaker 6 (05:07):
You want?
Speaker 1 (05:08):
The Patriots? The Patriots interesting. The Patriots had a sixth
round draft pick at their quarterback. They had a very
strange coach. They had all kinds of gates. They had
sex and drugs and rock and roll. They were the
ultimate soap opera. The Chiefs are a dick Wolf production,
just solid, strong, consistent, immortal. They just churn it out
(05:28):
every single year. So it's like, you know, January is
for the also Rams, February is for the Chiefs. August
is for losers trying to become winners, and we prop
them up and hope for them. These two guys in
our August players, none of those guys are August players.
Speaker 6 (05:46):
What is it?
Speaker 1 (05:47):
The greatest trick the devil ever polled was convincing the
world he doesn't exist. As far as the Chiefs are concerned,
The first four months don't need.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
To exist, Detective Olivia Benson, and I take issue with
your dick Wolf production insult, but that's besides the point.
Go ahead, jeez, no, it's.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
The Chiefs that the complement the solid there's no insult
and sins just every year. It's a dynasty upon dynasties.
It's an incredible comp Kyle.
Speaker 7 (06:11):
You putting me on with the Dick Wolf production, Man,
I'll tell you that. For me, I think it's a
little bit of combination of both. Actually, I think that one.
The media is kind of just grew so tired and
boring of the chief success they get there every single year.
And Patrick Mahomes' tenure now he's been seven for seven.
He might as well have his own happy meal if
you want to call it that, just like Wendy's five
for five seven years starting seven years AFC Championship road trip,
(06:34):
I think it's you can already pencil him in. And
to be honest, I'm with you, Kyle on in August,
what are we really talking about?
Speaker 5 (06:40):
Kansas City?
Speaker 7 (06:40):
They're looking at everyone talking about you got Denver Broncos
in the AFC West. You got the Las Vegas Raiders
with Ashton jen t, Pete Carroll and all Patrick Mahomes
and Andy Reid. Ever do is just continue to win
and continue to really set the mold of what the
NFL should be it should be about. I mean, I
can't even believe to this point that Andy Reese still
walks fifteen out there in the preseason, and every single
(07:01):
year they come out there preseason, they did their dress rehearsal,
and then the season starts and they do exactly what
Kansas City does best, and that's just continued to win games.
You see the media even bring the story lines up
with traving Taylor Swift.
Speaker 5 (07:16):
Is that a little rig coming in the NFL? Is
trying to make mum of runny from t Swift?
Speaker 7 (07:20):
You got the rigg talk with the referees, you know,
the Chiefs always getting these rig calls. I actually looked
up it just a random stat myself. Since twenty twenty two,
they've actually been penalized more than one hundred and twenty
yards in their opponents and regular season in the playoff games.
So again, I think it's just we're getting this nostalgic
Tom Brady hate Bill Belichick Patriot dynasty.
Speaker 5 (07:40):
That's just what it is.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
It's in a different form, yeah, different I see.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
Okay, Okay, well, okay, so I'm going to bring all
of this.
Speaker 6 (07:47):
Together. I'm going to connect it.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
So yesterday KB challenged me a little bit when he
compared the Steelers to the free space in the Bengal
car And so when I thought about this question, I
thought about, what, you know, what's a creative way that
I can answer this question. And to Kb's point, when
he brought up that it is August, that the Chiefs
are December team, and then Chase starts talking about the
things that we usually talk about around this time with
the Chiefs and throughout the year, I thought of, man,
(08:10):
this is kind of like the All I Want for
You is Christmas song by Mariah Carrey.
Speaker 6 (08:14):
Okay, so you don't really listen to.
Speaker 3 (08:16):
The song from September to November. You probably listen to
it to once or twice. But if you do listen
to it, it's not for Christmas reasons. It's probably because
it's on a throwback Mariah Carey hit list. It's kind
of like call Chase talked about. You know, we're not
talking about the Chiefs all that much in regards to football.
We're talking about during the season, how many times Taylor
(08:38):
Swift jumps up on the jumper, draw on.
Speaker 6 (08:40):
How many calls they got.
Speaker 3 (08:41):
We're not talking about anything that has to do with football.
But then December comes around, guys, and then all of
a sudden, a song that wasn't on your top five
most played list, all of a sudden, that thing starts
creeping up the charts in December.
Speaker 6 (08:54):
It's like the Chiefs in December.
Speaker 3 (08:56):
Like for the first four months of the season, we're
not really talking about them because they're not really playing.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
That much, that good of football.
Speaker 6 (09:03):
They're kind of right there in the middle.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
Then December comes along along, and then they remind you that, man,
we want a whole bunch of Super Bowls, we want
a whole bunch of AFC championships. And just like that
song in December, where every year it happens where we
expect that song to come on the radio. When Christmas
comes along, we expect that team that's in red and
(09:25):
white to be in the playoffs. It's like almost now,
it doesn't feel like Christmas if the Chiefs were in
the playoffs, just like it wouldn't feel like Christmas if
that song wasn't on the radio. So I know it's
August right now, guys. I know we probably don't know
what we want for Christmas, but I think we often
agree that when Christmas comes along, that team in red
and white with that little thing on the side of
the helmet will be in the playoffs, just like that song.
Speaker 6 (09:46):
It's a good take.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
It's a really good take. Man, Ti.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
It is ironic that we have mentioned the singer that
people hate to talk about at times, and as I'm
Mariah Carey because she's currently defrosting until we get to December.
It's the fact that Taylor Swift does have a song
called back to December. And if I may indulg you
on just a couple of lines from that song, it's
I'm so glad you made time to see me. Tell me,
how's your life, how's your family? You've been good, busier
(10:12):
than ever. We small talk, work in weather. Your guard
is up, and I know why. It's because the Chiefs
are always awesome.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
No, that's not part of the song.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
But the point is when you go back to December
of Manti to put a bow on it, if it's
Mariah Carrey Sailerswift, they're inevitable when it comes to that
time of year.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
Here we go again. I'm the Chiefs and Mahomes.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
There's a ton of magic, maybe holiday magic, if you will,
from Mahomes and the Chiefs. Over the years the childlike
quality and thrill that Mahomes references his various throws is
so exciting and I love the authenticity Mahomes. If considering
the left behind the back or not, Manti, is he
still a top the quarterback hierarchy in the AFC.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
Alone in AFC.
Speaker 6 (10:48):
Ok.
Speaker 3 (10:49):
So it's Thursday, guys, right, So Thursday usually has some
trivia on Thursday. So I didn't see trivia in the schedule.
Speaker 6 (10:55):
So I brought it to you, guys.
Speaker 3 (10:57):
I got a question, all right, So this is Patrick
Mahomes versus a mystery quarterback in the playoff.
Speaker 6 (11:05):
So we're gonna go round.
Speaker 3 (11:05):
Though, Horne, and I want you to I want you
to guess who is that mystery quarterback.
Speaker 6 (11:10):
In comparison to my Homes. Matter of fact, Jamie, you
go person.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
Okay, my brain is jumping to the oh and one
in the super Bowl wins last gosh, I'm gonna go
Jared Goff.
Speaker 6 (11:22):
Okay, Jared Goff, Chase.
Speaker 7 (11:25):
I was gonna go Joe, But this is playoff careers.
Speaker 5 (11:29):
M.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
Oh playoff careers?
Speaker 6 (11:33):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (11:33):
Oh my gosh, is that more than one?
Speaker 6 (11:35):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (11:36):
Okay, yeah, come on, go ahead, I'll.
Speaker 7 (11:39):
Go mad Stafford Bottom Stafford and get cool, KB.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
You an AFC quarterback Rex Grossman.
Speaker 3 (11:50):
So that quarterback, that mystery quarterback is Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson,
Joe Burrow, Justin.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
Herbert come by QB is plural find guys.
Speaker 3 (12:01):
So if we're gonna talk who was at the top
of this mountain, if we're going to talk about who
is the king of the hill, it's number fifteen over
there in Kansas City. He has been the best, is
the best, and continues to be the best.
Speaker 6 (12:15):
So that was my trivia from me to you. Congratulations,
Love you guys.
Speaker 5 (12:19):
That's Diabama. That was awesome.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
The plural go ahead, Jay.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
Is he a top the AFC.
Speaker 7 (12:25):
Quarterback hierarchy, as crazy as it is for me to
say this, And I'm a big number fifteen.
Speaker 5 (12:31):
Patrick mahomes fan.
Speaker 7 (12:32):
I think this year he has to go back out
and remind the world that he's the best quarterback alive.
And I say that, man, tell you know how it is.
The NFL is all about what have you done for
me lately? And despite the you know again, despite but
the Kansas City Chiefs have taken three straight trips to
the Super Bowl, and.
Speaker 5 (12:49):
Despite that, though you look at Patrick.
Speaker 7 (12:50):
Mahomes' stats basically since the Super Bowl that they beat
the Philadelphia he was in twenty twenty three, he's thrown
for forty one hundred yards, twenty seven touchdowns and fourteen picks.
Speaker 5 (13:00):
And then last year.
Speaker 7 (13:01):
Thirty nine hundred yards, twenty six touchdowns, eleven picks.
Speaker 5 (13:04):
You know, I actually you had Lamar Jackson.
Speaker 7 (13:05):
He threw for forty one hundred yards, the first quarterback
ever forty one hundred yards, forty touchdowns, four deceptions, eight
hundred rushing yards. To go with it, Josh Allen has
an MVP year. Joe Burrow has the unanimous best passing
stat if you will, of all the quarterbacks forty nine
hundred yards. So I just think about it when you
look at all these stats and these guys are you know,
right on mahomes heels. I think that this year it
(13:26):
could very well change if Josh, Joe or Lamar go
out to arrowhead AFC Championship game and they beat him
to go and.
Speaker 5 (13:32):
To win a Super Bowl. With a conversation might.
Speaker 7 (13:34):
Change now where it's like, hey, are they at the
top of the hill now. So, as crazy as it
is to sound for me, I do think that this
is I don't want to call it a proven year
for Patrick, but it's just a reminder year that he
needs to remind people that he is the best quarterback
in the world this season.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
Farban from me to spit in the win against list
media and top ten content, which is just ubiquitous right now.
But is there any room for nuance in these conversations
at all, because it seems to just be there's one
camp who's like he was in the Super Bowl, she
won the Super Bowl, that means he's the best, and
then there's just like deep statistical minutia. My answer is between,
(14:11):
and I think the answer is right now. Of course,
he is not the best quarterback in the AFC. Right now.
Of course he's not the best quarterback in the NFL.
And hear me out like, he is the greatest quarterback
of this era, and there's no debate about that. It's
post Brady, It's Mahome. This is the Mahomes era. I
distinguish greatest from best. Greatest includes accomplishments and grandeur and
(14:34):
legacy and history and championships and part of a team.
Best is purely on performance, So I respect everything Mahomes done.
This is the Mahomes era. But if we're talking about
is he the best at his position right now? Guys
last year seventh and yards a ninth and touchdowns tenth
and completion percentage seventeenth and passer rating, we can go
(14:55):
statistics that we're blue in the face. No, he's not
the best at his position right now. It's either Alan
or Lamar off of last year, what they did recently,
and if you want us borough, go ahead, and it's
not an insult to Patrick Mahomes. He has got a
bunch of Super Bowl appearances and you say, well, he
beats those guys every year. Of course, that's what makes
them so incredible. These guys play the position better than
(15:16):
he does in a given season and then end up
losing to him. So you have to allow some room
for nuance. You can't just say Patrick is the greatest
quarterback of this era. So he has to be on
top of my quarterback hierarchy. So when you were doing
it back in the day, did you have Eli Manning
at the top of for quarterback hierarchy because he won
two Super Bowl I don't understand it. It's based on
(15:38):
how they play the position, separate from where their status
is in terms of grandeur in history and legacy. No
one's touching Mahomes there post Brady. But in terms of
are you the best at your position in the NFL,
of course not not after last year. We'll review it
again next year. But come on, let's let's let's not
have a debate for the sake of having a debate.
I'm not putting Mahomes as the best quarterback in NFCY
(16:00):
right now. Is what is your reason for doing it
other than he gets to the Super It's a team sport.
There's a lot of people incorporated into that. It's not
a disrespect of ma Homes to say that he is
the greatest of this era, but right now not the best.
I hope that makes sense, Kyle.
Speaker 2 (16:14):
I also think people I don't know if living in
fear is too intensive a phrase to say about it,
but they want.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
To have their best.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
They don't want to be wrong. So it's easier to
qualify him as top of the AFC hierarchy because if
he proves you wrong, which he has in the past
five years many many times over, then you look are
made to look like a fool. So Manti's looking at
me like that is something you agree.
Speaker 6 (16:38):
With or not.
Speaker 3 (16:38):
No, I think it's the ultimate question, is this, And
I'd love to hear what everybody thinks. If I had
to look at all AFC quarterbacks and I know the
stats and all of that stuff, in the game winning situation,
this is always a question that if I needed to
win the game, what quarterback am I most confident in?
Not just in the AFC, Not just I can say
in totality, if I stick number fifteen in there in
(17:02):
a game winning situation, nine times out of ten, I'm
winning that game. I can't say that for other quarterbacks
in the NFL right now, because Patrick has.
Speaker 6 (17:10):
Proven it in those situations.
Speaker 3 (17:11):
So I'd love to hear what Kab says if you
want to go on and on.
Speaker 1 (17:14):
And this is a great point to bring up. The
last time we saw Patrick Mahomes in the Super Bowl,
he was getting out played by Jalen Hurts for the
second time in a Super Bowl. All right, he was
throwing a pick six to a rookie. It's it's not
a slide against ma Holmes. He's the best. He's the best.
But like these these storylines about all answers need to
(17:35):
be Mahomes because he's been to the most Super Bowls.
That's not a real human conversation. You have to get
into some specifics of it. And to answer your question, man, Ti,
is there anybody else you'd want?
Speaker 6 (17:45):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
I just said on the biggest stage, he's the second
best quarterback twice against Jalen Hurts, who has his own
unique role in these conversations. So that's where I met
with it. I look at it best versus greatest. Mahomes
is the greatest, He's not the best right now, and
I don't apologize for.
Speaker 6 (17:59):
It, all right.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
Well, the fact that Jalen Hurts keeps getting brought up
into these conversations, those that are in the division with
him absolutely despise that. And speaking of we got to
check in on the news around the league right now,
which includes the Dallas Cowboys Tom pili Sero joining us
and after hearing from their head coach Brian Schottenheimer, who
said he's optimistic about pass rusher Michael Parsons and his
presence with the team came the regular season, Tom, there
(18:22):
must be more to this, well, Jamie.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
We are two weeks away from.
Speaker 8 (18:26):
Tonight for the kickoff game between the Eagles and the Cowboys.
As you mentioned, Brian Schotenheimer said Wednesday that he is
confident Michael Parsons will be out there. However, from my understanding,
there is still no movement in terms of a contract
extension that is expected to make Parsons the highest paid
non quarterback in NFL history. There is still no communication
between the Cowboys and Parsons agent about trying to get
(18:49):
a deal done. So a couple of points here. The Cowboys,
of course, have a history of getting these deals done late.
Cee Lamb was right around this time last year. Dak
Prescott went all the way down until the day of
the opener last year in Cleveland. But on the flip
side of that, there were long standing months of negotiations
that went into those deals with Parsons. There's really been
(19:10):
no talks whatsoever since Jerry and Micah spoke face to
face way back in March, and to Jerry Jones, based
on his thinking, he thought that they had a deal
in place. There is still time for things to move
forward here. But Parsons has not practiced at all. He's
been in meetings, he's been in walk throughs, he's been engaged.
From everything that I've been told in those but there's
(19:32):
still a conditioning piece to this in terms of ramping
him up to play a game that needs to happen quickly.
Here there has been open dialogue between Brian schotten Iver
and Michaeh. Parsons. Will see exactly how this thing moves
forward in Washington. Wide receiver Terry McLaurin also embroiled in
his own contract talks.
Speaker 6 (19:49):
There have been.
Speaker 8 (19:50):
Negotiations between mclaurin's agent, Buddy Baker, and the team, but
the sides have not been close to this point on
a deal. Several days the ego McLaurin did return from
the physical enable to perform with his ankle is healthy,
but there's an miitioning piece there as well. He's doing
his ramp up behind the scenes. According to coach Dan Quinn,
still remains we've seen it exactly when McLaurin is actually
(20:12):
going to get back onto the practice field. The coming
days are going to be telling. Does Washington make one
more offer to try to get something done with McLaurin.
Like Michael Parsons, McLaurin has requested a trade, and it
doesn't sound like Washington.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
Has really seriously explored that option.
Speaker 8 (20:28):
They still anticipate having McLaurin on the roster in twenty
twenty five. Running Back Brian Robinson Junior also the subject
of trade talk. Seems like that is leaning toward Robinson
and it elsewhere. He's also not been practicing. We'll see
how that plays out between now and cut down day
next Tuesday. We did get a couple of trades done
on Wednesday, including one Sendia Differ wide receiver Sky Moore
(20:50):
to the San Francisco forty nine Ers, the team swapping
sixth and seventh round picks in twenty twenty seven, which
is pretty close to the bottom of the barrel in
terms of trade compensation. That's a strong indication sky Moore
was not going to make the roster in Kansas. But
for a forty nine Ers team that's had all kinds
of injuries, all kinds of issues depleting them both at
running back and wide receiver, getting another fast player who
(21:13):
can contribute in the return game as well as on
offense could be something that ends up helping them as
we move forward. Meanwhile, the Vikings trade away their starting
nose tackle, Harrison Phillips to the New York Jets in
a deal that brings them two sixth round picks in
exchange for Phillips and a seventh You wonder why why
are the Vikings the team that is built to win
(21:33):
right now as Super Bowl aspirations, but trade away one
of their starters.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
Well, there's a couple of things.
Speaker 8 (21:37):
One, they really like the young players that they've got
at that position. Two, the Vikings are seriously exploring acquiring
a veteran wide receiver sometime in the next several days.
Speaker 1 (21:49):
Justin Jefferson's finally back. This is not about him.
Speaker 8 (21:51):
The hamstring's healthy, he'll be ready for Week one, but
Jordan Adison suspended the first three games. Jalen Naylor is
banged up with a hand injury. Right now, it remains
me seeing who even this other starting receiver is come
Week one, that Monday night foot game against the Bears.
There are a bunch of wide receivers that are potentially available.
The Vikings have been working the phones. There are several
names that it could end up being, but one of
(22:13):
them is somebody that Vikings fans know well, including you,
Jamie Adam Thaln in Carolina, the Panthers have not wanted
to give him away, going all the way back to
the trade deadline last year when they got calls. But
potentially could they find a way to bring fel in
the Minnesota native back home.
Speaker 1 (22:28):
That is one of the names to keep an eye
on here.
Speaker 2 (22:31):
That would be wild. But I assume Panthers fans for
the standard that Delan has helped set in Carolina. Bryce
Young would probably want a word about that, But sometimes
the market is as it goes.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
Thanks Tom back on GMFB.
Speaker 2 (22:45):
This was really really special news. Yesterday, Tyson Beagent signs
a two year, ten million dollar contract extension with the
Chicago Bears. He has been a presence in the quarterback
room for the Bears. This keeps Pagent in Chicago through
twenty twenty seven. This, of course, according to rap Sheet,
Tyson Beagent comes to the NFL a couple of years
(23:06):
back from division to Shepherd University, which means that achieving
this in his young career was something that took some emotion.
Speaker 9 (23:21):
Yeah, I think that you know, a lot of people
don't know this, but you know, my dad is my
he's my right hand man, and he didn't he didn't
have running water until he was in high school.
Speaker 5 (23:33):
So there's definitely a lot of things.
Speaker 9 (23:38):
That and people that I could that I think I
could certainly help with this gift I've been blessed with.
But yeah, just little things like that. You know, I
don't really know anybody back at home with any money.
Speaker 5 (23:49):
So yeah, it feels good.
Speaker 9 (23:52):
I mean, it's certainly a weight off my shoulders and
my family's shoulders, and yeah, it definitely means a lot.
Speaker 2 (24:01):
First of all, congratulations to Tyson and his family. Incredible
emotion behind a true career accomplishment. Kyle, This one hits
with us because this kid is a front of the show.
Speaker 1 (24:13):
His dad is a front of the show.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
We've loved watching him develop, and now the Bears have
invested in him.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
Yeah, I mean, this is what it's all about. This
is an incredible, incredible football story. If you don't care
about the Bears backup quarterback, this is the.
Speaker 6 (24:27):
Human being all right.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
Grew up oldest of four children, very very poor. As
he just mentioned there sometimes West Virginia, no big time
college offers, goes FCS recruiting, goes to Shepherd University in
West Virginia. Makes the Bears roster in the final fifty
three as a rookie fights his way up to second
string in his first ever career start. When Justin Fields
(24:49):
got hurt, he won. Bears quarterbacks don't do that. And
the party was supposed to be over because then Ben
Johnson comes in. He's this offensive mastermind, Ben Johnson. That's
not his guy. He wasn't around when the Bears brought
in Tyson bagent. Ben Johnson came in and fell in
love with Tyson. It's because the way Tyson beagent plays,
the way he's been on the field in preseason looking
like an NFL starter, the way he is behind the scenes,
(25:11):
the way he works his work ethic. It is everything
you tell your kids about. It is everything you love
about football. It's a great story. It's a great American tale.
I cannot be too over the top about Tyson Bage
and the fact that the Bears just signed him. When
you have Caleb Williams, the guy who's the number one
overall pick out a USC nil guy, and this could
not be more of a different person in the room.
(25:32):
And when you have Caleb Williams, you think you'd want
to put some sort of season grizzled veteran as the
number two. The Bears like Beijing so much, they're like,
sign them. We don't want to lose them. He's a
fantastic asset to us, and I just can't say enough.
This guy should have been a punchline about his father's
arm wrestling stuff and we have some laughs and I
never hear from him again. Now he has a future,
Now he has a story, and all of us. He
(25:53):
has a really really big fan. Tyson Beagent, awesome, awesome stuff.
Speaker 7 (25:56):
Very happy for you, absolutely, Tyson Bajor.
Speaker 5 (25:59):
Congratulations brother.
Speaker 7 (26:00):
I'm my feeling when I got to my second contract,
So congratulation to.
Speaker 5 (26:03):
You your faith and KB. You hit it right on
the nail, man.
Speaker 7 (26:06):
I think it says so much about the guy, not
just from a talent perspective, but just the.
Speaker 5 (26:10):
Character building of who he is.
Speaker 7 (26:12):
It's like you said, man, you have a Kla Williams quarterback,
former number one pick that kind of a little bit
struggle last year. You would think that you would want
to get some type.
Speaker 5 (26:19):
Of veteran presence in there behind him.
Speaker 7 (26:21):
And what is the new coaching staff that comes in
and an entire new coaching staff comes in in Ben
Johnson and he literally signs an undrafted kid from a
Division two school to.
Speaker 5 (26:29):
A contract extension.
Speaker 7 (26:30):
I think it says nothing but wonders in the worlds
about Tyson Beaje.
Speaker 5 (26:33):
So congratulations brother, How awesome is that?
Speaker 6 (26:36):
So great? How awesome is that?
Speaker 3 (26:37):
Like I haven't even seen people who signed hundred million
dollar contracts that had that much emotion, Like, how awesome
is that? And I also think what's cool is this
shout out to not only Tyson but his dad, Travis,
because I had no idea that that that's what their
story was. And that's so important to me because so
many people will go around like telling about their story
and how hell I had it hard and all of
(26:57):
this stuff. When you watch Tyson and Travis Beijing on
that Hard Knocks episode and how happy they are and
they're how kind they are and enthusiastic about life and
grateful and cheering for his son in the stands, you
would never know that that's the background they came from.
And so shout out to him, shout out to the
entire family because they kept out on the wraps, they
went throughout their business, did their thing, and now he
(27:19):
gets assigned a two year, ten million dollars deal for
the Chicago Bears. I couldn't be more happy for him
and his family. You know that's such a great, great
example for people to learn from.
Speaker 1 (27:29):
Wonderful story, wonderful human. Everything we love about it. I
have to say, I hope we do not see him
play a single snap this year, not one snap, not
even in a bear's blowout. I can mister Beijing, the
Beijing family. I love you guys. Now be on the
sideline and help the team. That's what we are, it said.
Everybody wants enjoy it though, well said Kyle.
Speaker 2 (27:51):
It's a good point, and it's been quite the journey.
But we can't wait to watch it within certain parameters.
I guess put some put some stipulation, some guardrails on it.
Tyson Bajent, congratulations once again. Oh I don't want to
look the camera three because it's a fantasy draft time
and we are all look at these two. They could
(28:13):
keep looking at their sheets as we prepare for this.
We're doing GMFB fantasy draft. Kyle's involved in New York
Snakes Draft. We are drafting a guy from each position
as follows. A quarterback, a running back, a wide receiver,
a tight end. You can go in any order that
you want. You can have any philosophy that you want.
The order is as follows, Kyle, Chase Manti, Jamie Jamie Manti,
(28:37):
Chase Kyle, so on and so forth. Kyle, I guess
you if you have a white ordering thing, how are
you going.
Speaker 3 (28:44):
To do this?
Speaker 2 (28:45):
Just call out your picks, right?
Speaker 1 (28:52):
I like going either first or last in the draft order,
because after you make your pick or picks, you can
just go get snacks or make a drink. You can
just like chill out for a while. All right, So
I'm going to start us off. I have the first
pick in the twenty twenty five upall Fantasy draft. This
is very, very easy. The first player off the board
is Saquon Barkley of the Philadelphia Eagles. I want him
(29:14):
on my team. I love him on my team. You
might say, well, PPR, Saque doesn't catch the ball that much.
How does he run the ball? You like when he
runs the ball? Can I tell you? Can I interest
you in? The first player in NFL history to go
back to back two thousand yard seasons? What he does that?
He's a Hall of Famer even still he is my
franchise player. Saquon Barkley is off the board at the
number one pick, and we go now to Chase at
(29:35):
number two, Kyle.
Speaker 7 (29:37):
I like the logic, brother, I really do than hold
on now, they don't they What they didn't tell you
guys about me is oh I.
Speaker 5 (29:45):
Used to play Madden.
Speaker 1 (29:46):
Oh And what I would do was I would.
Speaker 7 (29:49):
Do fantasy drafts on Madden and then man, tie.
Speaker 5 (29:54):
I wouldn't even play a season game.
Speaker 7 (29:55):
Oh, I just restarted kick back and get back to
the GM.
Speaker 5 (29:59):
Okay, but this is what we're going.
Speaker 7 (30:00):
With, sick man with the second pick in the Fantasy
Football twenty twenty five, I'm going to football draft. I'm
going mister Sonic himself. Jamiir Gibbs. It's nothing better just
snatching the soul out of your opponent. And when they
think they're about to win the game, man time, Okay,
and then you gotta gotta just bust open fifty yard
gus there now. Jamiir Gibbs, he was third in the
(30:22):
explosive play rate. He had the most touchdowns in the
NFL last year with twenty. I think he's gonna touch
the ball.
Speaker 5 (30:28):
A little bit more this year.
Speaker 6 (30:29):
Give me.
Speaker 5 (30:29):
Jamiir Gibbs.
Speaker 3 (30:30):
Got it, Okay, So I was about to tell I
was actually about to take that guy.
Speaker 5 (30:34):
So that's a.
Speaker 3 (30:34):
Beautiful part of my same way the segment, man is
we have to adjust.
Speaker 6 (30:38):
Okay, So I'm gonna adjust. And I don't know why
this guy.
Speaker 2 (30:41):
If someone took the player right before me, I would
be laying on the floor.
Speaker 3 (30:44):
Say, Jamie, you said we couldn't have any philosophy in.
Speaker 1 (30:47):
This draft, right, what do you got? Man to the philosophy?
Speaker 3 (30:50):
I got his winning Okay, Jamar Chase, you are the
first pick on Team OOS Fantasy Football?
Speaker 6 (30:55):
Like, what are we doing? Guys?
Speaker 3 (30:56):
Is number one overall? Like he said, a whole bunch of records.
He's going to catch a whole bunch of passes. And
by that defense for the Cincinnati Bengals, you know they're
going to be passing a lot and this guy's gonna
catch a lot of touchdowns. So I got Jamar Chase.
I know it's a snake drop. Jamie, you got the
last pick. You gotta go back to back.
Speaker 2 (31:11):
Here's I appreciate that too, Okay, and I'm gonna I'm
gonna take my time.
Speaker 5 (31:16):
It's all good.
Speaker 1 (31:17):
It's what.
Speaker 2 (31:22):
Okay, okay, okay, Okay. Philosophy, my personal philosophy, stick to
the plan, stick to the goal. Oh, I know.
Speaker 1 (31:33):
People hate when.
Speaker 6 (31:37):
Okay, Okay, I'm gonna go ch seventh.
Speaker 1 (31:42):
Okay, let's go.
Speaker 2 (31:43):
I'm gonna pick Brian Thomas Junior.
Speaker 1 (31:48):
Okay, okay, that's a good pick, Jamie. Why are you.
Speaker 6 (31:51):
Saying that to me?
Speaker 2 (31:51):
It's patronizing because because I get to go again Kyle,
and I know I'm not supposed to do this, but
I'm gonna do it anyways. I'm gonna take my quarterback
so none of you can take him from me. I'm
gonna take Jaydan.
Speaker 1 (32:03):
Daniels really man, Okay, yeah, okay, now leave me along
for sevens.
Speaker 6 (32:08):
All right, all right.
Speaker 2 (32:09):
I can't even write on my whiteboard, okay, okay, no,
I'll write my team.
Speaker 1 (32:13):
Jammie, you like Thomas Junior more than Justin. Jeffers says,
what about? That's why I said?
Speaker 2 (32:18):
Okay, I told you that everybody has a philosophy. Okay,
let me care about my team the way I want
to care about it and my philosophy.
Speaker 1 (32:27):
What Winny, don't teach me how to brock Bowers. You
are the real number. Wait, I want to hurt you
right now, brock Bowers.
Speaker 3 (32:35):
Okay, brock Bowers plays tight end.
Speaker 6 (32:37):
She ranked top ten.
Speaker 3 (32:39):
Overall and as far as receptions, he could have been
a top ten receiver.
Speaker 1 (32:43):
Guys, this is a PPR league.
Speaker 3 (32:45):
This guy's going to get They only have Rock Bowers
on that squad catcheam passes.
Speaker 6 (32:49):
Brock Barer is going to team Ooz. I'm going to
win this.
Speaker 5 (32:53):
Oh my gosh, man, you took my pick. He took
my pick. That's okay, though, that's okay, Okay, here we go.
Speaker 6 (33:01):
I got something for y'all.
Speaker 1 (33:02):
Okay, okay, okay, we got I got so y'all. Man,
does everyone know you can work on your picks while
the other people are You can work, and you can
for the audience.
Speaker 5 (33:14):
I like to write it for the audiens with my pick.
Speaker 7 (33:16):
Okay, we'll go right A big Trey McBride Arizona car
News Trey McBride.
Speaker 1 (33:21):
I love Trey McBride.
Speaker 5 (33:22):
I love Trey McBride.
Speaker 7 (33:23):
Trey McBride had I think he had one hundred catches
last season.
Speaker 5 (33:26):
Now he only had one or two touchdowns. I know,
my man, Kyler Murray back home.
Speaker 7 (33:31):
He's gonna get Trey McBride the ball, especially in the
red zone.
Speaker 5 (33:33):
He loves showing the love.
Speaker 7 (33:34):
He just signed a big contract extension. Also this offseason.
Give me Trey McBride's second pick.
Speaker 1 (33:41):
Trey McBride is off the board. That is a guy
who had a huge year last year and seems to
be completely sending. And there was that thing with Trey
McBride where he never scored touchdowns and everyone was like,
what the heck, Univers and then he finally did score
touch I think he's gonna score a lot of touchdowns.
So here's where we are. We're at the end of
the second round. I started the first and now I
make the last pick in the second round, which will
mean well halfway done. With the final pick of the
(34:02):
second round, my team selects AJ Brown from the Philadelphia Eagles.
I love it. You can write a book about it
and he will read it on the sideline. Fantastic player
on the biggest juggernaut on the entire NFL. I love
that he is on my team. So, guys, I think, now,
once we have the AJ Brown pick locked in, let's
everybody take a breath, get some orange slices and Caprice
Son and here we go. Yeah, I mean it's a
(34:28):
peculiar pick. Jamier Gibbs, Jamar Chase, Brian Thomas Junior. Then
we sneaked around. Jamie took Jayden Daniels the first quarterback.
We had a couple of tight ends Brock Fowers, Ray McBride,
and then I ended aj Brown on the Philadelphia Eagles.
And guess what, guys, does anybody need to make a
comment or a concession or an apology or anything at all?
How does everybody feeling after two rounds?
Speaker 6 (34:50):
I'm great.
Speaker 5 (34:50):
I'm feeling fantastic.
Speaker 7 (34:52):
You know why, guys, Because I'm gonna get the most
productive receiver in the third round. I'm just I'm a
statically what.
Speaker 1 (35:02):
Am I take him? Right now?
Speaker 6 (35:03):
Though?
Speaker 1 (35:03):
All right here? Starting the third round, it's gonna go Kyle, Chase, Smantai, Jamie,
and then Jamie will go two picks in a row.
With my third round pick, I'm gonna change things up.
I am going to take you know what, I think,
I'll take Jalen Hurts from the Philadelphia Eagles. I got
Jalen Hurts a lot of running yards, guys, all those
(35:25):
toush push touchdowns. And what if I told you the
whole offseason the Eagles are going to run the tush
push until the cows come home. It is going to
be toush push. This toush push that you thought you
saw it before. Now that it's trying to be outlawed,
they're going to do it to be rock and roll.
I expect ten touchdowns at least from Hurts on the
ground with the Toush push alone. Jalen Hurts is the
first pick of the third round. You now go to
(35:47):
Chase to make his pick.
Speaker 5 (35:48):
I don't even got to think about this one. Give me.
Speaker 7 (35:50):
Jettis the most productive receiver in his first five years
in the NFL. It doesn't matter who's throwing him the football.
He played seven games still had one thousand yards.
Speaker 5 (35:58):
I need justin Jefferson.
Speaker 3 (36:00):
Come on, James, it's a quality pick, right with me.
Speaker 6 (36:05):
It is me, guys, I got it.
Speaker 1 (36:07):
Manti you Jamie, you are next though.
Speaker 6 (36:12):
Welcome winning team.
Speaker 1 (36:14):
What is my philosophy, Guys, it's.
Speaker 6 (36:16):
All about winning.
Speaker 3 (36:17):
But John Robinson, you are my third round pick and
we're winning.
Speaker 6 (36:22):
Jamie. I'm looking at this list.
Speaker 2 (36:24):
I just desperately need names to be on the back
of the paper just so I have more options. I
want to abandon my philosophy so badly, which is I
was trying to go with second ear players and then
Manti actually stabbed me in the heart and back simultaneously
by taking Brock hours. So, despite experiencing sheer panic over
the last forty five seconds or what fell like forty
(36:45):
five minutes, I'm going to just buy myself the time
with the tight end, even to go back back Bucky Irving,
You're on my team for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and
I don't want to hear from anybody.
Speaker 1 (36:53):
Okay, thank you so much.
Speaker 2 (36:55):
Your condescending support is appreciated book for both of you,
and again, and I'm.
Speaker 6 (37:03):
So excited about my pick. I go ahead, Jamie, I'm
so excited.
Speaker 1 (37:06):
Go ahead, smack you, Jamie your last pick.
Speaker 2 (37:09):
I know I need a second year tight end and
it's not named rock Bowers Scosh.
Speaker 6 (37:15):
I can't.
Speaker 2 (37:16):
I'll just take a regular old tight end, I guess.
And my team is totally going out the wind.
Speaker 1 (37:20):
Though. Give me George kittle that's a good pick.
Speaker 2 (37:22):
He acts like a second year player emotionally.
Speaker 1 (37:24):
How about that?
Speaker 2 (37:26):
Yeah, Manta, your turn.
Speaker 1 (37:29):
Hile Jamie just self loathing in that are all time?
Speaker 5 (37:34):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (37:34):
Give me George kittle Man.
Speaker 6 (37:36):
Time is the MVP.
Speaker 1 (37:37):
What's that mean? Manti?
Speaker 6 (37:38):
Josh Allen, where are you at? Uh? Josh, where are
you at?
Speaker 2 (37:42):
And apparently on your team on.
Speaker 1 (37:44):
My team got just at the end ofnet. We're gonna
put it this, We're gonna put this thing up.
Speaker 3 (37:48):
Philosophy is what it's about winning, winning, and we're gonna
win a lot of games.
Speaker 7 (37:53):
Chase, Hey, Hey, give me the MVP of the stats,
brother Action Jackson lamar I saw many forty one hundred yards,
forty touchdowns, eight hundred rushing yards.
Speaker 5 (38:05):
Madden, you could even produce that. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (38:09):
When you get Lamar in like the second to last
pick and he comes right after the MVP, kybe my
body language is just so as it looks like I'm
totally relaxed. I love my team, but I'm a little
bit fretting about this last pick. I've kind of lost
track of who's been taken and who's not. Guys, is
there any chance help me out? Producers. Is Dallas Goddard
still available? Is he Is he available? Because if he is,
(38:30):
I'll take Dallas Goddard, So put me down. I don't
know if he is, but if he is available, I
will take Dallas Goddard as our mister irrelevant. And that's
gonna tie up the draft. That was actually kind of quick,
pretty painless for some of us. Here we go, so
there's a lot of letters and words on the screen
and no logos. But see if you can figure this
out upper left corner. I took Saquon first, and then
(38:53):
it's snaked all the way around. We had some quarterbacks
and tight ends, and then it would end in the
last round. It would go right to laugh Jamie goes Kittle,
and then Josh Allen Lamar and then Dallas got to
know how he was still there. I thought he would
have been gone in the first round, but I scooped
him up with the last pick of our draft. Manta,
I know how you feel, Chase. I'm pretty certain how
(39:14):
you feel. Heard all.
Speaker 6 (39:15):
What do you think.
Speaker 2 (39:17):
I told you I don't like participating in these segments,
so I'm not doing it anymore. I'm telling you, it's
like panic, the panic for the brock Bowers that was
just taken from right. I confided in Umantai. I told
you I was doing second year players, and it's my
own fault because I picked Mark Brian Thomas Jr.
Speaker 5 (39:35):
First. Everybody got the feat.
Speaker 2 (39:37):
Take the camera off me.
Speaker 1 (39:38):
The sweet smell of victory.
Speaker 2 (39:40):
It's early, guys, well, kick your feet up too.
Speaker 1 (39:45):
I got great team chemistry. I'm going to have the
best locker room.
Speaker 3 (39:48):
Oh my gosh, this is gonna be amazing.
Speaker 1 (39:52):
Let me know how you think, America. Let me know
what you think. Who is going to New York City?
Doggie do on the bottom of my shoe. That's the
rest I went again. Bring it on, Bring it.
Speaker 6 (40:03):
On, Missa.
Speaker 1 (40:05):
I am going to fight you.
Good Morning Football is the production of the NFL in
partnership with iHeartRadio.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Welcome to Good Morning Football, presented by best Buy. It's Thursday, August.
Speaker 1 (00:13):
My first, I'm.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
Jamie art All. Here's man Saite Teo and joining us
once again at the breakfast table. NFL running back Chase
Edmund's back for Day two in person. We did not
scare him off. Kyle Brandt in New York as well. Kyle,
I'm so glad that best Buy is our friend today
because I'm gonna need the Geek Squad to work me
through on the GMFB Fantasy draft segment we have coming
up in about forty minutes.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
We do have a draft coming up. It's all kinds
of exciting. I wonder if the Geese squad can tell us, guys,
the opener is two weeks from Tonight's the NFL opener.
Does the backpage of the New York Post have the
Giants or Jets? It's football season and it's June. Carlos
Stanton on the Yankees, so we can't get there yet.
Come on, it's football time. Let's talk about the AFC champs.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
Welcome to Good Morning Football, presented by best Buy that's right,
JMFB everybody, Jamie Mantai, Kyle Chase. Kyle told us yesterday
he has a bit of a ritual to start the
show where he arrives, he's got his orange and his
coffee cup, and he flips over the back page of
the New York Post. And we've been disappointed this week
with the editorial decision making of the Post because it's
(01:27):
been all baseball. Okay, we want Jets, we want giants. Kyle,
personal question for you, have you yourself ever been in
the New York Post in print?
Speaker 1 (01:35):
Yeah? I think at some point and one another. I've
said some things on the show here in New York
based and they put me in here. I just hope
I'm never on the front page because as always, you
don't want to see what's here. I'm not even going
to turn it around. It's inappropriate. But look at on
the very very bottom it says Dart of the matter
and there's this posted stamp size picture of Jackson Dart.
But we're two weeks from the opener.
Speaker 3 (01:55):
Come on, come on, let's go.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
We owe.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
We have to then take you to somewhere else besides
New York to get our NFL headlines, and we'll take
you to a place that often would churn the headlines
out over the last couple of years. And the Kansas
City Chiefs. Back in Week one of the preseason, Patrick
Mahomes threw a touchdown on his only past attempts against
Arizona chief said coach Andy Reid says the starters will
be playing tomorrow Friday against Chicago.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
Chief Wide receiver.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
Juju Smith Shuster has been impressed with Mahomes constantly wanting
to improve his.
Speaker 4 (02:26):
Game him coming into this season. You can tell he's
a lot lighter mobility, you can see, and I would
say obviously his next level of like seeing the next
play seem to play ahead and kind of like visualizing
it has helped us out a lot. When you have
guys like the veteran players working hard every day, showing
(02:46):
up every day, put it in the work, put in
the effort, it just makes the younger guys kind of
just follow and that becomes the expectation here.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
So every day you got to show up in work
every day.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
Shout out to Jujus Smith Schuster for giving us the
Mahomes analytics there. We appreciate that after his experience into
the NFL. We're five months into the off season, Kyle
used it as two weeks from the opener. We look
at us five months into the off season. We have
talked about the Chiefs a lot less than we have
in previous seasons. The question becomes, are we still experiencing
Chiefs fatigue as we know it? Or have you just
(03:22):
skipped past the first eighteen weeks of the season instead
of basking in it? Do you have them pencil in
for an appearance in the AFC title game as we
know it? That's how we always see them, Kyle, which
one do you stand on?
Speaker 1 (03:34):
Well, it's interesting that we haven't talked about them much,
but I can speak for myself. It's not Chiefs fatigue.
It's not fatigue. It's just concession. You got it. You
run this thing, You run the AFC, even when you
don't win it, you still run it.
Speaker 5 (03:48):
You know it, I know it.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
Listen. The biggest compliment I can give the Chiefs is
that they're not terribly interesting right now in August of
twenty twenty five, and only because they're so consistently great.
Tell me what I should be not excited about, but
really genuinely interested For a show you want to sell me. Well,
they got blown out in the Super Bowl. I've seen
that before in the Mahomes era. Mahomes gets disrespected while
(04:11):
all the other quarterbacks get hyped. We've seen that too. Oh,
the AFC West is different this year. I heard that.
Last year Hardball's here, Sean Payton is here. The Raiders
smacked them on Christmas Day at Arrowhead. Guys, Mahome did
not lose to the AFC West. Last year. He was undefeated.
So you say, well, maybe they'll be without Rashi Rice
at times this year. They were without him for all
(04:32):
of last year. You say, well, what if the Chiefs
just kind of lose their mojo and Mahomes doesn't have
his usual magic. I heard that for six months last
year they won fifteen games, they won the AFC.
Speaker 6 (04:43):
It's just it's the Chiefs.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
You stand there and you do nothing. You want to
do something interesting, lose the division around one of these
years that would be the chief version of interesting, and
that they end in the final eight instead of the
final four. You know, you look at these different dynasties
that we've been involved with, and then in my adult life,
do you want to do something interesting? Patrick Mahomes win
the Super Bowl this year, walk away and go play
minor league baseball for a couple of seasons. Why not
(05:07):
do that?
Speaker 6 (05:07):
You want?
Speaker 1 (05:08):
The Patriots? The Patriots interesting. The Patriots had a sixth
round draft pick at their quarterback. They had a very
strange coach. They had all kinds of gates. They had
sex and drugs and rock and roll. They were the
ultimate soap opera. The Chiefs are a dick Wolf production,
just solid, strong, consistent, immortal. They just churn it out
(05:28):
every single year. So it's like, you know, January is
for the also Rams, February is for the Chiefs. August
is for losers trying to become winners, and we prop
them up and hope for them. These two guys in
our August players, none of those guys are August players.
Speaker 6 (05:46):
What is it?
Speaker 1 (05:47):
The greatest trick the devil ever polled was convincing the
world he doesn't exist. As far as the Chiefs are concerned,
The first four months don't need.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
To exist, Detective Olivia Benson, and I take issue with
your dick Wolf production insult, but that's besides the point.
Go ahead, jeez, no, it's.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
The Chiefs that the complement the solid there's no insult
and sins just every year. It's a dynasty upon dynasties.
It's an incredible comp Kyle.
Speaker 7 (06:11):
You putting me on with the Dick Wolf production, Man,
I'll tell you that. For me, I think it's a
little bit of combination of both. Actually, I think that one.
The media is kind of just grew so tired and
boring of the chief success they get there every single year.
And Patrick Mahomes' tenure now he's been seven for seven.
He might as well have his own happy meal if
you want to call it that, just like Wendy's five
for five seven years starting seven years AFC Championship road trip,
(06:34):
I think it's you can already pencil him in. And
to be honest, I'm with you, Kyle on in August,
what are we really talking about?
Speaker 5 (06:40):
Kansas City?
Speaker 7 (06:40):
They're looking at everyone talking about you got Denver Broncos
in the AFC West. You got the Las Vegas Raiders
with Ashton jen t, Pete Carroll and all Patrick Mahomes
and Andy Reid. Ever do is just continue to win
and continue to really set the mold of what the
NFL should be it should be about. I mean, I
can't even believe to this point that Andy Reese still
walks fifteen out there in the preseason, and every single
(07:01):
year they come out there preseason, they did their dress rehearsal,
and then the season starts and they do exactly what
Kansas City does best, and that's just continued to win games.
You see the media even bring the story lines up
with traving Taylor Swift.
Speaker 5 (07:16):
Is that a little rig coming in the NFL? Is
trying to make mum of runny from t Swift?
Speaker 7 (07:20):
You got the rigg talk with the referees, you know,
the Chiefs always getting these rig calls. I actually looked
up it just a random stat myself. Since twenty twenty two,
they've actually been penalized more than one hundred and twenty
yards in their opponents and regular season in the playoff games.
So again, I think it's just we're getting this nostalgic
Tom Brady hate Bill Belichick Patriot dynasty.
Speaker 5 (07:40):
That's just what it is.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
It's in a different form, yeah, different I see.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
Okay, Okay, well, okay, so I'm going to bring all
of this.
Speaker 6 (07:47):
Together. I'm going to connect it.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
So yesterday KB challenged me a little bit when he
compared the Steelers to the free space in the Bengal
car And so when I thought about this question, I
thought about, what, you know, what's a creative way that
I can answer this question. And to Kb's point, when
he brought up that it is August, that the Chiefs
are December team, and then Chase starts talking about the
things that we usually talk about around this time with
the Chiefs and throughout the year, I thought of, man,
(08:10):
this is kind of like the All I Want for
You is Christmas song by Mariah Carrey.
Speaker 6 (08:14):
Okay, so you don't really listen to.
Speaker 3 (08:16):
The song from September to November. You probably listen to
it to once or twice. But if you do listen
to it, it's not for Christmas reasons. It's probably because
it's on a throwback Mariah Carey hit list. It's kind
of like call Chase talked about. You know, we're not
talking about the Chiefs all that much in regards to football.
We're talking about during the season, how many times Taylor
(08:38):
Swift jumps up on the jumper, draw on.
Speaker 6 (08:40):
How many calls they got.
Speaker 3 (08:41):
We're not talking about anything that has to do with football.
But then December comes around, guys, and then all of
a sudden, a song that wasn't on your top five
most played list, all of a sudden, that thing starts
creeping up the charts in December.
Speaker 6 (08:54):
It's like the Chiefs in December.
Speaker 3 (08:56):
Like for the first four months of the season, we're
not really talking about them because they're not really playing.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
That much, that good of football.
Speaker 6 (09:03):
They're kind of right there in the middle.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
Then December comes along along, and then they remind you that, man,
we want a whole bunch of Super Bowls, we want
a whole bunch of AFC championships. And just like that
song in December, where every year it happens where we
expect that song to come on the radio. When Christmas
comes along, we expect that team that's in red and
(09:25):
white to be in the playoffs. It's like almost now,
it doesn't feel like Christmas if the Chiefs were in
the playoffs, just like it wouldn't feel like Christmas if
that song wasn't on the radio. So I know it's
August right now, guys. I know we probably don't know
what we want for Christmas, but I think we often
agree that when Christmas comes along, that team in red
and white with that little thing on the side of
the helmet will be in the playoffs, just like that song.
Speaker 6 (09:46):
It's a good take.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
It's a really good take. Man, Ti.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
It is ironic that we have mentioned the singer that
people hate to talk about at times, and as I'm
Mariah Carey because she's currently defrosting until we get to December.
It's the fact that Taylor Swift does have a song
called back to December. And if I may indulg you
on just a couple of lines from that song, it's
I'm so glad you made time to see me. Tell me,
how's your life, how's your family? You've been good, busier
(10:12):
than ever. We small talk, work in weather. Your guard
is up, and I know why. It's because the Chiefs
are always awesome.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
No, that's not part of the song.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
But the point is when you go back to December
of Manti to put a bow on it, if it's
Mariah Carrey Sailerswift, they're inevitable when it comes to that
time of year.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
Here we go again. I'm the Chiefs and Mahomes.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
There's a ton of magic, maybe holiday magic, if you will,
from Mahomes and the Chiefs. Over the years the childlike
quality and thrill that Mahomes references his various throws is
so exciting and I love the authenticity Mahomes. If considering
the left behind the back or not, Manti, is he
still a top the quarterback hierarchy in the AFC.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
Alone in AFC.
Speaker 6 (10:48):
Ok.
Speaker 3 (10:49):
So it's Thursday, guys, right, So Thursday usually has some
trivia on Thursday. So I didn't see trivia in the schedule.
Speaker 6 (10:55):
So I brought it to you, guys.
Speaker 3 (10:57):
I got a question, all right, So this is Patrick
Mahomes versus a mystery quarterback in the playoff.
Speaker 6 (11:05):
So we're gonna go round.
Speaker 3 (11:05):
Though, Horne, and I want you to I want you
to guess who is that mystery quarterback.
Speaker 6 (11:10):
In comparison to my Homes. Matter of fact, Jamie, you
go person.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
Okay, my brain is jumping to the oh and one
in the super Bowl wins last gosh, I'm gonna go
Jared Goff.
Speaker 6 (11:22):
Okay, Jared Goff, Chase.
Speaker 7 (11:25):
I was gonna go Joe, But this is playoff careers.
Speaker 5 (11:29):
M.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
Oh playoff careers?
Speaker 6 (11:33):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (11:33):
Oh my gosh, is that more than one?
Speaker 6 (11:35):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (11:36):
Okay, yeah, come on, go ahead, I'll.
Speaker 7 (11:39):
Go mad Stafford Bottom Stafford and get cool, KB.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
You an AFC quarterback Rex Grossman.
Speaker 3 (11:50):
So that quarterback, that mystery quarterback is Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson,
Joe Burrow, Justin.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
Herbert come by QB is plural find guys.
Speaker 3 (12:01):
So if we're gonna talk who was at the top
of this mountain, if we're going to talk about who
is the king of the hill, it's number fifteen over
there in Kansas City. He has been the best, is
the best, and continues to be the best.
Speaker 6 (12:15):
So that was my trivia from me to you. Congratulations,
Love you guys.
Speaker 5 (12:19):
That's Diabama. That was awesome.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
The plural go ahead, Jay.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
Is he a top the AFC.
Speaker 7 (12:25):
Quarterback hierarchy, as crazy as it is for me to
say this, And I'm a big number fifteen.
Speaker 5 (12:31):
Patrick mahomes fan.
Speaker 7 (12:32):
I think this year he has to go back out
and remind the world that he's the best quarterback alive.
And I say that, man, tell you know how it is.
The NFL is all about what have you done for
me lately? And despite the you know again, despite but
the Kansas City Chiefs have taken three straight trips to
the Super Bowl, and.
Speaker 5 (12:49):
Despite that, though you look at Patrick.
Speaker 7 (12:50):
Mahomes' stats basically since the Super Bowl that they beat
the Philadelphia he was in twenty twenty three, he's thrown
for forty one hundred yards, twenty seven touchdowns and fourteen picks.
Speaker 5 (13:00):
And then last year.
Speaker 7 (13:01):
Thirty nine hundred yards, twenty six touchdowns, eleven picks.
Speaker 5 (13:04):
You know, I actually you had Lamar Jackson.
Speaker 7 (13:05):
He threw for forty one hundred yards, the first quarterback
ever forty one hundred yards, forty touchdowns, four deceptions, eight
hundred rushing yards. To go with it, Josh Allen has
an MVP year. Joe Burrow has the unanimous best passing
stat if you will, of all the quarterbacks forty nine
hundred yards. So I just think about it when you
look at all these stats and these guys are you know,
right on mahomes heels. I think that this year it
(13:26):
could very well change if Josh, Joe or Lamar go
out to arrowhead AFC Championship game and they beat him
to go and.
Speaker 5 (13:32):
To win a Super Bowl. With a conversation might.
Speaker 7 (13:34):
Change now where it's like, hey, are they at the
top of the hill now. So, as crazy as it
is to sound for me, I do think that this
is I don't want to call it a proven year
for Patrick, but it's just a reminder year that he
needs to remind people that he is the best quarterback
in the world this season.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
Farban from me to spit in the win against list
media and top ten content, which is just ubiquitous right now.
But is there any room for nuance in these conversations
at all, because it seems to just be there's one
camp who's like he was in the Super Bowl, she
won the Super Bowl, that means he's the best, and
then there's just like deep statistical minutia. My answer is between,
(14:11):
and I think the answer is right now. Of course,
he is not the best quarterback in the AFC. Right now.
Of course he's not the best quarterback in the NFL.
And hear me out like, he is the greatest quarterback
of this era, and there's no debate about that. It's
post Brady, It's Mahome. This is the Mahomes era. I
distinguish greatest from best. Greatest includes accomplishments and grandeur and
(14:34):
legacy and history and championships and part of a team.
Best is purely on performance, So I respect everything Mahomes done.
This is the Mahomes era. But if we're talking about
is he the best at his position right now? Guys
last year seventh and yards a ninth and touchdowns tenth
and completion percentage seventeenth and passer rating, we can go
(14:55):
statistics that we're blue in the face. No, he's not
the best at his position right now. It's either Alan
or Lamar off of last year, what they did recently,
and if you want us borough, go ahead, and it's
not an insult to Patrick Mahomes. He has got a
bunch of Super Bowl appearances and you say, well, he
beats those guys every year. Of course, that's what makes
them so incredible. These guys play the position better than
(15:16):
he does in a given season and then end up
losing to him. So you have to allow some room
for nuance. You can't just say Patrick is the greatest
quarterback of this era. So he has to be on
top of my quarterback hierarchy. So when you were doing
it back in the day, did you have Eli Manning
at the top of for quarterback hierarchy because he won
two Super Bowl I don't understand it. It's based on
(15:38):
how they play the position, separate from where their status
is in terms of grandeur in history and legacy. No
one's touching Mahomes there post Brady. But in terms of
are you the best at your position in the NFL,
of course not not after last year. We'll review it
again next year. But come on, let's let's let's not
have a debate for the sake of having a debate.
I'm not putting Mahomes as the best quarterback in NFCY
(16:00):
right now. Is what is your reason for doing it
other than he gets to the Super It's a team sport.
There's a lot of people incorporated into that. It's not
a disrespect of ma Homes to say that he is
the greatest of this era, but right now not the best.
I hope that makes sense, Kyle.
Speaker 2 (16:14):
I also think people I don't know if living in
fear is too intensive a phrase to say about it,
but they want.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
To have their best.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
They don't want to be wrong. So it's easier to
qualify him as top of the AFC hierarchy because if
he proves you wrong, which he has in the past
five years many many times over, then you look are
made to look like a fool. So Manti's looking at
me like that is something you agree.
Speaker 6 (16:38):
With or not.
Speaker 3 (16:38):
No, I think it's the ultimate question, is this, And
I'd love to hear what everybody thinks. If I had
to look at all AFC quarterbacks and I know the
stats and all of that stuff, in the game winning situation,
this is always a question that if I needed to
win the game, what quarterback am I most confident in?
Not just in the AFC, Not just I can say
in totality, if I stick number fifteen in there in
(17:02):
a game winning situation, nine times out of ten, I'm
winning that game. I can't say that for other quarterbacks
in the NFL right now, because Patrick has.
Speaker 6 (17:10):
Proven it in those situations.
Speaker 3 (17:11):
So I'd love to hear what Kab says if you
want to go on and on.
Speaker 1 (17:14):
And this is a great point to bring up. The
last time we saw Patrick Mahomes in the Super Bowl,
he was getting out played by Jalen Hurts for the
second time in a Super Bowl. All right, he was
throwing a pick six to a rookie. It's it's not
a slide against ma Holmes. He's the best. He's the best.
But like these these storylines about all answers need to
(17:35):
be Mahomes because he's been to the most Super Bowls.
That's not a real human conversation. You have to get
into some specifics of it. And to answer your question, man, Ti,
is there anybody else you'd want?
Speaker 6 (17:45):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
I just said on the biggest stage, he's the second
best quarterback twice against Jalen Hurts, who has his own
unique role in these conversations. So that's where I met
with it. I look at it best versus greatest. Mahomes
is the greatest, He's not the best right now, and
I don't apologize for.
Speaker 6 (17:59):
It, all right.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
Well, the fact that Jalen Hurts keeps getting brought up
into these conversations, those that are in the division with
him absolutely despise that. And speaking of we got to
check in on the news around the league right now,
which includes the Dallas Cowboys Tom pili Sero joining us
and after hearing from their head coach Brian Schottenheimer, who
said he's optimistic about pass rusher Michael Parsons and his
presence with the team came the regular season, Tom, there
(18:22):
must be more to this, well, Jamie.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
We are two weeks away from.
Speaker 8 (18:26):
Tonight for the kickoff game between the Eagles and the Cowboys.
As you mentioned, Brian Schotenheimer said Wednesday that he is
confident Michael Parsons will be out there. However, from my understanding,
there is still no movement in terms of a contract
extension that is expected to make Parsons the highest paid
non quarterback in NFL history. There is still no communication
between the Cowboys and Parsons agent about trying to get
(18:49):
a deal done. So a couple of points here. The Cowboys,
of course, have a history of getting these deals done late.
Cee Lamb was right around this time last year. Dak
Prescott went all the way down until the day of
the opener last year in Cleveland. But on the flip
side of that, there were long standing months of negotiations
that went into those deals with Parsons. There's really been
(19:10):
no talks whatsoever since Jerry and Micah spoke face to
face way back in March, and to Jerry Jones, based
on his thinking, he thought that they had a deal
in place. There is still time for things to move
forward here. But Parsons has not practiced at all. He's
been in meetings, he's been in walk throughs, he's been engaged.
From everything that I've been told in those but there's
(19:32):
still a conditioning piece to this in terms of ramping
him up to play a game that needs to happen quickly.
Here there has been open dialogue between Brian schotten Iver
and Michaeh. Parsons. Will see exactly how this thing moves
forward in Washington. Wide receiver Terry McLaurin also embroiled in
his own contract talks.
Speaker 6 (19:49):
There have been.
Speaker 8 (19:50):
Negotiations between mclaurin's agent, Buddy Baker, and the team, but
the sides have not been close to this point on
a deal. Several days the ego McLaurin did return from
the physical enable to perform with his ankle is healthy,
but there's an miitioning piece there as well. He's doing
his ramp up behind the scenes. According to coach Dan Quinn,
still remains we've seen it exactly when McLaurin is actually
(20:12):
going to get back onto the practice field. The coming
days are going to be telling. Does Washington make one
more offer to try to get something done with McLaurin.
Like Michael Parsons, McLaurin has requested a trade, and it
doesn't sound like Washington.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
Has really seriously explored that option.
Speaker 8 (20:28):
They still anticipate having McLaurin on the roster in twenty
twenty five. Running Back Brian Robinson Junior also the subject
of trade talk. Seems like that is leaning toward Robinson
and it elsewhere. He's also not been practicing. We'll see
how that plays out between now and cut down day
next Tuesday. We did get a couple of trades done
on Wednesday, including one Sendia Differ wide receiver Sky Moore
(20:50):
to the San Francisco forty nine Ers, the team swapping
sixth and seventh round picks in twenty twenty seven, which
is pretty close to the bottom of the barrel in
terms of trade compensation. That's a strong indication sky Moore
was not going to make the roster in Kansas. But
for a forty nine Ers team that's had all kinds
of injuries, all kinds of issues depleting them both at
running back and wide receiver, getting another fast player who
(21:13):
can contribute in the return game as well as on
offense could be something that ends up helping them as
we move forward. Meanwhile, the Vikings trade away their starting
nose tackle, Harrison Phillips to the New York Jets in
a deal that brings them two sixth round picks in
exchange for Phillips and a seventh You wonder why why
are the Vikings the team that is built to win
(21:33):
right now as Super Bowl aspirations, but trade away one
of their starters.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
Well, there's a couple of things.
Speaker 8 (21:37):
One, they really like the young players that they've got
at that position. Two, the Vikings are seriously exploring acquiring
a veteran wide receiver sometime in the next several days.
Speaker 1 (21:49):
Justin Jefferson's finally back. This is not about him.
Speaker 8 (21:51):
The hamstring's healthy, he'll be ready for Week one, but
Jordan Adison suspended the first three games. Jalen Naylor is
banged up with a hand injury. Right now, it remains
me seeing who even this other starting receiver is come
Week one, that Monday night foot game against the Bears.
There are a bunch of wide receivers that are potentially available.
The Vikings have been working the phones. There are several
names that it could end up being, but one of
(22:13):
them is somebody that Vikings fans know well, including you,
Jamie Adam Thaln in Carolina, the Panthers have not wanted
to give him away, going all the way back to
the trade deadline last year when they got calls. But
potentially could they find a way to bring fel in
the Minnesota native back home.
Speaker 1 (22:28):
That is one of the names to keep an eye
on here.
Speaker 2 (22:31):
That would be wild. But I assume Panthers fans for
the standard that Delan has helped set in Carolina. Bryce
Young would probably want a word about that, But sometimes
the market is as it goes.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
Thanks Tom back on GMFB.
Speaker 2 (22:45):
This was really really special news. Yesterday, Tyson Beagent signs
a two year, ten million dollar contract extension with the
Chicago Bears. He has been a presence in the quarterback
room for the Bears. This keeps Pagent in Chicago through
twenty twenty seven. This, of course, according to rap Sheet,
Tyson Beagent comes to the NFL a couple of years
(23:06):
back from division to Shepherd University, which means that achieving
this in his young career was something that took some emotion.
Speaker 9 (23:21):
Yeah, I think that you know, a lot of people
don't know this, but you know, my dad is my
he's my right hand man, and he didn't he didn't
have running water until he was in high school.
Speaker 5 (23:33):
So there's definitely a lot of things.
Speaker 9 (23:38):
That and people that I could that I think I
could certainly help with this gift I've been blessed with.
But yeah, just little things like that. You know, I
don't really know anybody back at home with any money.
Speaker 5 (23:49):
So yeah, it feels good.
Speaker 9 (23:52):
I mean, it's certainly a weight off my shoulders and
my family's shoulders, and yeah, it definitely means a lot.
Speaker 2 (24:01):
First of all, congratulations to Tyson and his family. Incredible
emotion behind a true career accomplishment. Kyle, This one hits
with us because this kid is a front of the show.
Speaker 1 (24:13):
His dad is a front of the show.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
We've loved watching him develop, and now the Bears have
invested in him.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
Yeah, I mean, this is what it's all about. This
is an incredible, incredible football story. If you don't care
about the Bears backup quarterback, this is the.
Speaker 6 (24:27):
Human being all right.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
Grew up oldest of four children, very very poor. As
he just mentioned there sometimes West Virginia, no big time
college offers, goes FCS recruiting, goes to Shepherd University in
West Virginia. Makes the Bears roster in the final fifty
three as a rookie fights his way up to second
string in his first ever career start. When Justin Fields
(24:49):
got hurt, he won. Bears quarterbacks don't do that. And
the party was supposed to be over because then Ben
Johnson comes in. He's this offensive mastermind, Ben Johnson. That's
not his guy. He wasn't around when the Bears brought
in Tyson bagent. Ben Johnson came in and fell in
love with Tyson. It's because the way Tyson beagent plays,
the way he's been on the field in preseason looking
like an NFL starter, the way he is behind the scenes,
(25:11):
the way he works his work ethic. It is everything
you tell your kids about. It is everything you love
about football. It's a great story. It's a great American tale.
I cannot be too over the top about Tyson Bage
and the fact that the Bears just signed him. When
you have Caleb Williams, the guy who's the number one
overall pick out a USC nil guy, and this could
not be more of a different person in the room.
(25:32):
And when you have Caleb Williams, you think you'd want
to put some sort of season grizzled veteran as the
number two. The Bears like Beijing so much, they're like,
sign them. We don't want to lose them. He's a
fantastic asset to us, and I just can't say enough.
This guy should have been a punchline about his father's
arm wrestling stuff and we have some laughs and I
never hear from him again. Now he has a future,
Now he has a story, and all of us. He
(25:53):
has a really really big fan. Tyson Beagent, awesome, awesome stuff.
Speaker 7 (25:56):
Very happy for you, absolutely, Tyson Bajor.
Speaker 5 (25:59):
Congratulations brother.
Speaker 7 (26:00):
I'm my feeling when I got to my second contract,
So congratulation to.
Speaker 5 (26:03):
You your faith and KB. You hit it right on
the nail, man.
Speaker 7 (26:06):
I think it says so much about the guy, not
just from a talent perspective, but just the.
Speaker 5 (26:10):
Character building of who he is.
Speaker 7 (26:12):
It's like you said, man, you have a Kla Williams quarterback,
former number one pick that kind of a little bit
struggle last year. You would think that you would want
to get some type.
Speaker 5 (26:19):
Of veteran presence in there behind him.
Speaker 7 (26:21):
And what is the new coaching staff that comes in
and an entire new coaching staff comes in in Ben
Johnson and he literally signs an undrafted kid from a
Division two school to.
Speaker 5 (26:29):
A contract extension.
Speaker 7 (26:30):
I think it says nothing but wonders in the worlds
about Tyson Beaje.
Speaker 5 (26:33):
So congratulations brother, How awesome is that?
Speaker 6 (26:36):
So great? How awesome is that?
Speaker 3 (26:37):
Like I haven't even seen people who signed hundred million
dollar contracts that had that much emotion, Like, how awesome
is that? And I also think what's cool is this
shout out to not only Tyson but his dad, Travis,
because I had no idea that that that's what their
story was. And that's so important to me because so
many people will go around like telling about their story
and how hell I had it hard and all of
(26:57):
this stuff. When you watch Tyson and Travis Beijing on
that Hard Knocks episode and how happy they are and
they're how kind they are and enthusiastic about life and
grateful and cheering for his son in the stands, you
would never know that that's the background they came from.
And so shout out to him, shout out to the
entire family because they kept out on the wraps, they
went throughout their business, did their thing, and now he
(27:19):
gets assigned a two year, ten million dollars deal for
the Chicago Bears. I couldn't be more happy for him
and his family. You know that's such a great, great
example for people to learn from.
Speaker 1 (27:29):
Wonderful story, wonderful human. Everything we love about it. I
have to say, I hope we do not see him
play a single snap this year, not one snap, not
even in a bear's blowout. I can mister Beijing, the
Beijing family. I love you guys. Now be on the
sideline and help the team. That's what we are, it said.
Everybody wants enjoy it though, well said Kyle.
Speaker 2 (27:51):
It's a good point, and it's been quite the journey.
But we can't wait to watch it within certain parameters.
I guess put some put some stipulation, some guardrails on it.
Tyson Bajent, congratulations once again. Oh I don't want to
look the camera three because it's a fantasy draft time
and we are all look at these two. They could
(28:13):
keep looking at their sheets as we prepare for this.
We're doing GMFB fantasy draft. Kyle's involved in New York
Snakes Draft. We are drafting a guy from each position
as follows. A quarterback, a running back, a wide receiver,
a tight end. You can go in any order that
you want. You can have any philosophy that you want.
The order is as follows, Kyle, Chase Manti, Jamie Jamie Manti,
(28:37):
Chase Kyle, so on and so forth. Kyle, I guess
you if you have a white ordering thing, how are
you going.
Speaker 3 (28:44):
To do this?
Speaker 2 (28:45):
Just call out your picks, right?
Speaker 1 (28:52):
I like going either first or last in the draft order,
because after you make your pick or picks, you can
just go get snacks or make a drink. You can
just like chill out for a while. All right, So
I'm going to start us off. I have the first
pick in the twenty twenty five upall Fantasy draft. This
is very, very easy. The first player off the board
is Saquon Barkley of the Philadelphia Eagles. I want him
(29:14):
on my team. I love him on my team. You
might say, well, PPR, Saque doesn't catch the ball that much.
How does he run the ball? You like when he
runs the ball? Can I tell you? Can I interest
you in? The first player in NFL history to go
back to back two thousand yard seasons? What he does that?
He's a Hall of Famer even still he is my
franchise player. Saquon Barkley is off the board at the
number one pick, and we go now to Chase at
(29:35):
number two, Kyle.
Speaker 7 (29:37):
I like the logic, brother, I really do than hold
on now, they don't they What they didn't tell you
guys about me is oh I.
Speaker 5 (29:45):
Used to play Madden.
Speaker 1 (29:46):
Oh And what I would do was I would.
Speaker 7 (29:49):
Do fantasy drafts on Madden and then man, tie.
Speaker 5 (29:54):
I wouldn't even play a season game.
Speaker 7 (29:55):
Oh, I just restarted kick back and get back to
the GM.
Speaker 5 (29:59):
Okay, but this is what we're going.
Speaker 7 (30:00):
With, sick man with the second pick in the Fantasy
Football twenty twenty five, I'm going to football draft. I'm
going mister Sonic himself. Jamiir Gibbs. It's nothing better just
snatching the soul out of your opponent. And when they
think they're about to win the game, man time, Okay,
and then you gotta gotta just bust open fifty yard
gus there now. Jamiir Gibbs, he was third in the
(30:22):
explosive play rate. He had the most touchdowns in the
NFL last year with twenty. I think he's gonna touch
the ball.
Speaker 5 (30:28):
A little bit more this year.
Speaker 6 (30:29):
Give me.
Speaker 5 (30:29):
Jamiir Gibbs.
Speaker 3 (30:30):
Got it, Okay, So I was about to tell I
was actually about to take that guy.
Speaker 5 (30:34):
So that's a.
Speaker 3 (30:34):
Beautiful part of my same way the segment, man is
we have to adjust.
Speaker 6 (30:38):
Okay, So I'm gonna adjust. And I don't know why
this guy.
Speaker 2 (30:41):
If someone took the player right before me, I would
be laying on the floor.
Speaker 3 (30:44):
Say, Jamie, you said we couldn't have any philosophy in.
Speaker 1 (30:47):
This draft, right, what do you got? Man to the philosophy?
Speaker 3 (30:50):
I got his winning Okay, Jamar Chase, you are the
first pick on Team OOS Fantasy Football?
Speaker 6 (30:55):
Like, what are we doing? Guys?
Speaker 3 (30:56):
Is number one overall? Like he said, a whole bunch of records.
He's going to catch a whole bunch of passes. And
by that defense for the Cincinnati Bengals, you know they're
going to be passing a lot and this guy's gonna
catch a lot of touchdowns. So I got Jamar Chase.
I know it's a snake drop. Jamie, you got the
last pick. You gotta go back to back.
Speaker 2 (31:11):
Here's I appreciate that too, Okay, and I'm gonna I'm
gonna take my time.
Speaker 5 (31:16):
It's all good.
Speaker 1 (31:17):
It's what.
Speaker 2 (31:22):
Okay, okay, okay, Okay. Philosophy, my personal philosophy, stick to
the plan, stick to the goal. Oh, I know.
Speaker 1 (31:33):
People hate when.
Speaker 6 (31:37):
Okay, Okay, I'm gonna go ch seventh.
Speaker 1 (31:42):
Okay, let's go.
Speaker 2 (31:43):
I'm gonna pick Brian Thomas Junior.
Speaker 1 (31:48):
Okay, okay, that's a good pick, Jamie. Why are you.
Speaker 6 (31:51):
Saying that to me?
Speaker 2 (31:51):
It's patronizing because because I get to go again Kyle,
and I know I'm not supposed to do this, but
I'm gonna do it anyways. I'm gonna take my quarterback
so none of you can take him from me. I'm
gonna take Jaydan.
Speaker 1 (32:03):
Daniels really man, Okay, yeah, okay, now leave me along
for sevens.
Speaker 6 (32:08):
All right, all right.
Speaker 2 (32:09):
I can't even write on my whiteboard, okay, okay, no,
I'll write my team.
Speaker 1 (32:13):
Jammie, you like Thomas Junior more than Justin. Jeffers says,
what about? That's why I said?
Speaker 2 (32:18):
Okay, I told you that everybody has a philosophy. Okay,
let me care about my team the way I want
to care about it and my philosophy.
Speaker 1 (32:27):
What Winny, don't teach me how to brock Bowers. You
are the real number. Wait, I want to hurt you
right now, brock Bowers.
Speaker 3 (32:35):
Okay, brock Bowers plays tight end.
Speaker 6 (32:37):
She ranked top ten.
Speaker 3 (32:39):
Overall and as far as receptions, he could have been
a top ten receiver.
Speaker 1 (32:43):
Guys, this is a PPR league.
Speaker 3 (32:45):
This guy's going to get They only have Rock Bowers
on that squad catcheam passes.
Speaker 6 (32:49):
Brock Barer is going to team Ooz. I'm going to
win this.
Speaker 5 (32:53):
Oh my gosh, man, you took my pick. He took
my pick. That's okay, though, that's okay, Okay, here we go.
Speaker 6 (33:01):
I got something for y'all.
Speaker 1 (33:02):
Okay, okay, okay, we got I got so y'all. Man,
does everyone know you can work on your picks while
the other people are You can work, and you can
for the audience.
Speaker 5 (33:14):
I like to write it for the audiens with my pick.
Speaker 7 (33:16):
Okay, we'll go right A big Trey McBride Arizona car
News Trey McBride.
Speaker 1 (33:21):
I love Trey McBride.
Speaker 5 (33:22):
I love Trey McBride.
Speaker 7 (33:23):
Trey McBride had I think he had one hundred catches
last season.
Speaker 5 (33:26):
Now he only had one or two touchdowns. I know,
my man, Kyler Murray back home.
Speaker 7 (33:31):
He's gonna get Trey McBride the ball, especially in the
red zone.
Speaker 5 (33:33):
He loves showing the love.
Speaker 7 (33:34):
He just signed a big contract extension. Also this offseason.
Give me Trey McBride's second pick.
Speaker 1 (33:41):
Trey McBride is off the board. That is a guy
who had a huge year last year and seems to
be completely sending. And there was that thing with Trey
McBride where he never scored touchdowns and everyone was like,
what the heck, Univers and then he finally did score
touch I think he's gonna score a lot of touchdowns.
So here's where we are. We're at the end of
the second round. I started the first and now I
make the last pick in the second round, which will
mean well halfway done. With the final pick of the
(34:02):
second round, my team selects AJ Brown from the Philadelphia Eagles.
I love it. You can write a book about it
and he will read it on the sideline. Fantastic player
on the biggest juggernaut on the entire NFL. I love
that he is on my team. So, guys, I think, now,
once we have the AJ Brown pick locked in, let's
everybody take a breath, get some orange slices and Caprice
Son and here we go. Yeah, I mean it's a
(34:28):
peculiar pick. Jamier Gibbs, Jamar Chase, Brian Thomas Junior. Then
we sneaked around. Jamie took Jayden Daniels the first quarterback.
We had a couple of tight ends Brock Fowers, Ray McBride,
and then I ended aj Brown on the Philadelphia Eagles.
And guess what, guys, does anybody need to make a
comment or a concession or an apology or anything at all?
How does everybody feeling after two rounds?
Speaker 6 (34:50):
I'm great.
Speaker 5 (34:50):
I'm feeling fantastic.
Speaker 7 (34:52):
You know why, guys, Because I'm gonna get the most
productive receiver in the third round. I'm just I'm a
statically what.
Speaker 1 (35:02):
Am I take him? Right now?
Speaker 6 (35:03):
Though?
Speaker 1 (35:03):
All right here? Starting the third round, it's gonna go Kyle, Chase, Smantai, Jamie,
and then Jamie will go two picks in a row.
With my third round pick, I'm gonna change things up.
I am going to take you know what, I think,
I'll take Jalen Hurts from the Philadelphia Eagles. I got
Jalen Hurts a lot of running yards, guys, all those
(35:25):
toush push touchdowns. And what if I told you the
whole offseason the Eagles are going to run the tush
push until the cows come home. It is going to
be toush push. This toush push that you thought you
saw it before. Now that it's trying to be outlawed,
they're going to do it to be rock and roll.
I expect ten touchdowns at least from Hurts on the
ground with the Toush push alone. Jalen Hurts is the
first pick of the third round. You now go to
(35:47):
Chase to make his pick.
Speaker 5 (35:48):
I don't even got to think about this one. Give me.
Speaker 7 (35:50):
Jettis the most productive receiver in his first five years
in the NFL. It doesn't matter who's throwing him the football.
He played seven games still had one thousand yards.
Speaker 5 (35:58):
I need justin Jefferson.
Speaker 3 (36:00):
Come on, James, it's a quality pick, right with me.
Speaker 6 (36:05):
It is me, guys, I got it.
Speaker 1 (36:07):
Manti you Jamie, you are next though.
Speaker 6 (36:12):
Welcome winning team.
Speaker 1 (36:14):
What is my philosophy, Guys, it's.
Speaker 6 (36:16):
All about winning.
Speaker 3 (36:17):
But John Robinson, you are my third round pick and
we're winning.
Speaker 6 (36:22):
Jamie. I'm looking at this list.
Speaker 2 (36:24):
I just desperately need names to be on the back
of the paper just so I have more options. I
want to abandon my philosophy so badly, which is I
was trying to go with second ear players and then
Manti actually stabbed me in the heart and back simultaneously
by taking Brock hours. So, despite experiencing sheer panic over
the last forty five seconds or what fell like forty
(36:45):
five minutes, I'm going to just buy myself the time
with the tight end, even to go back back Bucky Irving,
You're on my team for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and
I don't want to hear from anybody.
Speaker 1 (36:53):
Okay, thank you so much.
Speaker 2 (36:55):
Your condescending support is appreciated book for both of you,
and again, and I'm.
Speaker 6 (37:03):
So excited about my pick. I go ahead, Jamie, I'm
so excited.
Speaker 1 (37:06):
Go ahead, smack you, Jamie your last pick.
Speaker 2 (37:09):
I know I need a second year tight end and
it's not named rock Bowers Scosh.
Speaker 6 (37:15):
I can't.
Speaker 2 (37:16):
I'll just take a regular old tight end, I guess.
And my team is totally going out the wind.
Speaker 1 (37:20):
Though. Give me George kittle that's a good pick.
Speaker 2 (37:22):
He acts like a second year player emotionally.
Speaker 1 (37:24):
How about that?
Speaker 2 (37:26):
Yeah, Manta, your turn.
Speaker 1 (37:29):
Hile Jamie just self loathing in that are all time?
Speaker 5 (37:34):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (37:34):
Give me George kittle Man.
Speaker 6 (37:36):
Time is the MVP.
Speaker 1 (37:37):
What's that mean? Manti?
Speaker 6 (37:38):
Josh Allen, where are you at? Uh? Josh, where are
you at?
Speaker 2 (37:42):
And apparently on your team on.
Speaker 1 (37:44):
My team got just at the end ofnet. We're gonna
put it this, We're gonna put this thing up.
Speaker 3 (37:48):
Philosophy is what it's about winning, winning, and we're gonna
win a lot of games.
Speaker 7 (37:53):
Chase, Hey, Hey, give me the MVP of the stats,
brother Action Jackson lamar I saw many forty one hundred yards,
forty touchdowns, eight hundred rushing yards.
Speaker 5 (38:05):
Madden, you could even produce that. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (38:09):
When you get Lamar in like the second to last
pick and he comes right after the MVP, kybe my
body language is just so as it looks like I'm
totally relaxed. I love my team, but I'm a little
bit fretting about this last pick. I've kind of lost
track of who's been taken and who's not. Guys, is
there any chance help me out? Producers. Is Dallas Goddard
still available? Is he Is he available? Because if he is,
(38:30):
I'll take Dallas Goddard, So put me down. I don't
know if he is, but if he is available, I
will take Dallas Goddard as our mister irrelevant. And that's
gonna tie up the draft. That was actually kind of quick,
pretty painless for some of us. Here we go, so
there's a lot of letters and words on the screen
and no logos. But see if you can figure this
out upper left corner. I took Saquon first, and then
(38:53):
it's snaked all the way around. We had some quarterbacks
and tight ends, and then it would end in the
last round. It would go right to laugh Jamie goes Kittle,
and then Josh Allen Lamar and then Dallas got to
know how he was still there. I thought he would
have been gone in the first round, but I scooped
him up with the last pick of our draft. Manta,
I know how you feel, Chase. I'm pretty certain how
(39:14):
you feel. Heard all.
Speaker 6 (39:15):
What do you think.
Speaker 2 (39:17):
I told you I don't like participating in these segments,
so I'm not doing it anymore. I'm telling you, it's
like panic, the panic for the brock Bowers that was
just taken from right. I confided in Umantai. I told
you I was doing second year players, and it's my
own fault because I picked Mark Brian Thomas Jr.
Speaker 5 (39:35):
First. Everybody got the feat.
Speaker 2 (39:37):
Take the camera off me.
Speaker 1 (39:38):
The sweet smell of victory.
Speaker 2 (39:40):
It's early, guys, well, kick your feet up too.
Speaker 1 (39:45):
I got great team chemistry. I'm going to have the
best locker room.
Speaker 3 (39:48):
Oh my gosh, this is gonna be amazing.
Speaker 1 (39:52):
Let me know how you think, America. Let me know
what you think. Who is going to New York City?
Doggie do on the bottom of my shoe. That's the
rest I went again. Bring it on, Bring it.
Speaker 6 (40:03):
On, Missa.
Speaker 1 (40:05):
I am going to fight you.
