Speaker 1 (00:04):
Good Morning Football is the production of the NFL in
partnership with iHeartRadio.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
Welcome to Good Morning Football, presented by Old Trapper.
Speaker 3 (00:18):
That's right DM be on a.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
Thursday, Jamie Manti, Mike G, and Kyle Love hanging with
Manti and Mike G. Kyle and I have been doing
gmt B together. I think this is almost the end
of our fourth season. So know Kyle pretty well to
know this much. I know after he just said that
he was having a conversation passionately in the commercial break
with Mike G, and I said, I have fomo, Kyle,
(00:41):
I think on the opposite ends of our personality scale,
Like you have no fomo when it comes to things.
Speaker 3 (00:46):
You're just like, I'm good, I'm out.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
I don't need to participate, I don't care not to
be there, and I'm over here constantly, like but I
want to be there, and I need to be there,
and I need to eavesdrop and I need to know
what Kyle was talking about. Correct me if I'm wrong.
But you have zero fomo and I'm at like the
max fomo.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
I don't have a fear of missing out. I wish
I'm missing out all the time, but I will.
Speaker 4 (01:04):
Just say this.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
Here's what I will say. I grew up a fan
of the Notre Dame Fighting Irish. I grew up watching
the movie Hoosiers. Yes, I love the state of Indiana,
Manta Taaloe. If not for the State of Indiana, you
would not be here right now. It's a wonderful, wonderful
state that I have a lot of respect for up
to a certain point where if you include that state
(01:25):
in a certain topic of conversation, my bleep and head
will explode. And it's just there during commercial and I'm
just going to leave it at that and be a gentleman.
It's by fault. I asked, he did, He did so.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
Kyle's will throw down with Mike g about this topic
that still is perfect not to be mentioned, but it
was whispered a little bit. Okay, let's move on with
other things that will elicit rage for some. Maybe it's
time for throw Down Thursday. Ramseyhawks, it is happening tonight.
There's a night Football NFC West Showdown. Massive Implications. It's
all the sexy words, right. We got to talk to
(01:57):
Rams linebacker Jared Verse because earlier this week he was
asked about playing in Big games like this.
Speaker 4 (02:04):
Much.
Speaker 5 (02:04):
I mean, like I say everything like, this is a
very good team. I said the first time, I'm gonna
save the second time. Our main focus is just going
in there and whining. I don't care about pond time.
I don't care about anyone's record. Like when you go
on to that field at ZO zero, whether you got
two wins, what do you got eleven?
Speaker 3 (02:19):
I wish I could just.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
Stand up at a podium with a hood up and
just be like, this is what.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
The business is here we go throw it on Thursday.
Who are you riding with tonight?
Speaker 2 (02:27):
Matthew Stafford and the Rams more mind Sam Darnold than
the Seal.
Speaker 6 (02:32):
Press, Sure pressure Pressia. I'm gonna go with matt Stafford
and the Rams. I've been high on the Rams. I've
been saying that. Now I know they don't have the
Bonte Adams. But whenever there is that hole or that
gap there at the other wide receiver position opposite of
pukuina cool, there's a man named Tutu at Well that
comes onto the scene.
Speaker 4 (02:49):
He wears number five. He is their vertical threat. He's
extremely fast.
Speaker 6 (02:53):
And then Kobe Parkinson, as you see right there, has
come alive in the red zone.
Speaker 4 (02:57):
So I believe in Sean McVay.
Speaker 6 (02:59):
Sean McVay is somebody who we love on this show
and somebody who I love watching from a schematics standpoint
of all of the fancy things and the creative ways
that he gets his offense and his team in general
in positions to win big time football games. They played
in Super Bowl, so the lights are never too bright
from and matt Stafford.
Speaker 4 (03:18):
Is on a terror.
Speaker 6 (03:18):
So I got to go Mike g with the team
from across the street, the La Ram hang on.
Speaker 4 (03:23):
I need to bring it.
Speaker 7 (03:24):
Well, see now it just changed on the screen there
when that's my little tombs, don't we call it? But
I need to bring in the Commissioner throw down throw
Thursday here because I said, who are you riding with?
Speaker 4 (03:32):
Are you the Commissioner? You looked at me. I thought
it was Jamie. Yeah, going to Jamie.
Speaker 7 (03:36):
Because it said Matthew Stafford and the Rams or Sam
Darnold and the Seahawks.
Speaker 4 (03:41):
I'm going to talk about the defense. Is that okay?
Speaker 7 (03:43):
Because I want to talk about the Rams defense. I
want to make sure that that's okay.
Speaker 4 (03:45):
We had Jared burse coming in, that's fine. Well, they're
going to rude again.
Speaker 7 (03:50):
You're going to see the quarterbacks because I'm going to
go after the guys that were going after the quarterbacks
because the Rams defensive front.
Speaker 4 (03:57):
Jared Verse, thank you very much.
Speaker 7 (03:58):
Kyle Brent did a great job of getting after Sam
Dark Like we talked about it yesterday and I said.
Speaker 4 (04:03):
Well, you know, he was air and down his receivers
at times, but that was a bit of the problem.
But the other problem was everything.
Speaker 7 (04:10):
That was right up in his mug. And I remember
talking to Kobe Turner on The Insiders. We had him
on this summer as a guest. Unbelievable guests. He's welcome anytime.
He's amazing. And he talked about how the chemistry, like
last year they had all these young guys up front
that were rushing and doing things on their own, but
(04:30):
once they figured out late in the season how to
do things together, it was like whoa, Like they really
unlocked it.
Speaker 4 (04:37):
And they did it in that game.
Speaker 7 (04:38):
The way that they were running their twists, the way
that they were working together, the way they.
Speaker 4 (04:41):
Were setting up each other.
Speaker 7 (04:43):
If they do that again tonight, doesn't matter who Darnold's
looking at. He had the pressure in his face that
was creating so much havoc. That's why I'm riding with
the Rams here.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
Well, listen, Rams win and I think they'd lock in
their spot as Super Bowl favorite and maybe, you know,
best team in the league again.
Speaker 4 (04:58):
The NBA, God.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
Blessed their hearts, has something really adorable called the NBA Cup.
If we followed this thing, yeah, I mean the Knicks
won something called I followed it up. Okay, I think
you're the one, Mike, They're they won the NBA Cup. Guys,
getting into New York this morning, there was all kinds
of traffic because the Knicks won the NBA Cup.
Speaker 4 (05:16):
Yeah, the Raid Secret take. You can't get into the city.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
It's that post NBA Cup frenzy here in the city.
They won it, and God bless them. And there's also
a piece of news that the Knicks decided not to
hang a banner.
Speaker 4 (05:28):
Yes good.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
The second they hung that banner, they sacrificed the right
to be called the mecca basketball in that arena. And
they're not so God blessed they made the right choice.
I feel like the Rams won the NFL Cup this year,
so they were like the best team in the regular
season for most of the seasons, certainly at like the
three quarter mark, which we've since passed, or right around
they win the NFL Cup, and God bless you. I
(05:50):
think you you win tonight and you beat this team
who I think the Seahawks are a top four team
in the NFL. If you beat them on the road
and you sweep them on the season, then it's like,
all right, well, I mean, I think the Rams are
going to the Super Bowl.
Speaker 4 (06:02):
I don't see a team beating them there.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
Far and away the best team we'll see who comes
out of the AFC to take on.
Speaker 4 (06:07):
Stafford and McVeigh.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
It's far more interesting that the Seahawks win, far more interesting.
This Rams defense is fantastic. You talked about it. This
game was the disaster. All the stats bear it out.
If the Seahawks win, it's such a flipping of the table.
It's the Rams are beatable. They've lost a couple of
games of the last few weeks. Mike McDonald is a
big game coach. Dare I say Sam donald is a
big game quarterback. The easy storylines of the Rams win
(06:30):
and we'll celebrate them. It's so much more interesting if
the Seahawks say not tonight and we'll see you again
in the playoffs. So I'm going to say, for the
sake of content and just because I think it might
be a special night in Seattle, I think the Seahawks
win on a walk off field goal.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
Kyle, Since you're bringing up the NBA Cup, it made
me think, no, no, it made me think of in hockey,
they have the President's Trophy the team with the most
points the best record, and that team gets to have
home field advantage, And it's just kind of this unfair
juxtaposition of like, Seahawks have this great record, but they
might not even get to be able to play at
home in the playoffs as they continue on. So while
we can respect the President's Trophy, we're not really sure
(07:04):
what's happening with the NBA Cup. Moving on, the Steelers
Aaron Rodgers and the Bears Kayleb Williams. I know they
didn't play each other in Week fifteen. I get that,
but when you consider what they both said after their games,
they officially will go head to head.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
Now for the best SoundBite of the week.
Speaker 4 (07:20):
Some cast offs.
Speaker 8 (07:21):
If you look at our roster, which it makes it
really special.
Speaker 7 (07:24):
To consider yourself one of those cast offs.
Speaker 4 (07:26):
Too.
Speaker 8 (07:27):
No, I'm not a cast off?
Speaker 4 (07:28):
Is it anyway I'll advice throw like forcing you can.
I can make any throw.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
So quick, so is the sainct No, I'm not a
cast off. I can make any throw. Which post game
quips embodies their individual personalities more. Is it Aaron Rodgers
casting off the question of whether or not he is
a cast off? Or Caleb Williams VANTI in a self
assured way saying no, I can make any throw.
Speaker 6 (07:54):
Well, our brother Kyle Brandt did reveal if anybody didn't know,
I'm sure you know now that I did go to
Notre Dame. And Notre Dame's biggest rival is the University
of Southern California, and Caleb william was the quarterback for
Southern California for a couple of years, and I got
to watch this guy just thread.
Speaker 4 (08:11):
The needle for two I think it was two years
he played for.
Speaker 6 (08:13):
UC after he transferred, and it continued to do that
in the NFL. What's been nice to see about Caleb
Williams this year is it seems to me seems to
be more fine tuned.
Speaker 4 (08:24):
There was almost this wild wild.
Speaker 6 (08:26):
West in his personality of how he would throw the ball,
but this year under Ben Johnson, it just seems more calculated,
and I think that's what's the most dangerous about him
this year. So I think that based on these two guys,
of these two phenomenal quarterbacks, that.
Speaker 4 (08:41):
The one is speaking the most truth as.
Speaker 6 (08:44):
His personality would have had to be Caleb Williams and
his ability to make any throw because he's shown it
now on college but in the NFL, my g.
Speaker 7 (08:51):
I'm going Aaron Rodgers, but I need more film study here,
and I feel like I have the advantage of having
Kyle Brandton my left. I think he understands Rogers maybe
a little bit more than the rest of us.
Speaker 4 (09:01):
Have some thoughts.
Speaker 7 (09:02):
So control room. Can we have that by I just
want to hear Rogers. Just want to see it again.
I just want to look into.
Speaker 4 (09:07):
His eyes as we're going through this. Are we ready here?
Because let's watch them both.
Speaker 8 (09:10):
Yeah, there's some cast offs if you look at our roster,
which it makes it really special.
Speaker 7 (09:16):
Is it yourself one of those cast offs too?
Speaker 9 (09:18):
No?
Speaker 4 (09:18):
I'm not a cast off? Is it any way? I'll
advisor for like Coote, you can I can make any throw?
All right?
Speaker 7 (09:26):
Rogers specifically was he dead serious there, because I'm I
don't know if it was like you know, because he
actually rattles it off. He talks about Kenny Gainwell, and
he talks about all these guys.
Speaker 4 (09:37):
Uh, you know these guys, right.
Speaker 7 (09:39):
And then it's like, well, are you a cast off too? No,
I'm not a cast up. Was it like he offended?
Was he legitimately to his core offended by it? Or
was he trying to sort of make a joke like
all those guys are cast offs? But you can't say
that about a future Hall of Fame quarterback. I can't
use that word in reference to me. It's fascinating. Uh,
there's room for interpretation. And that's why I gotta go
rogers here because I don't know which way he went
(10:01):
with that last answer.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
Well, with him, as always, it's enigmatic. Yes, it makes
it interesting. My take on that is he just tried
to build these guys up who are either journeymen or
role players who are scrapping their way in the NFL,
and I think he did not want to include himself
in that group out of modesty and respect for them,
being that he's the Hall of Famer, he's got amount
of money and all that stuff.
Speaker 4 (10:20):
Out of respect for them for the playoffs teammates. Yeah,
why as opposed to who, Well.
Speaker 7 (10:24):
I think it was like, you know, cast they're all
cast offs and it's so great and they've persevered and
they've done this.
Speaker 4 (10:31):
But that isn't me.
Speaker 7 (10:32):
Well you mean you think I left the Jets because.
Speaker 4 (10:35):
They didn't want me, like you think I owent up
the Packers. I chose to be like, No, he is
because he is a cast off. For sure. He was.
Speaker 1 (10:42):
He told the ther all the time. He flew across
the country on his own dime. He sat down with
Aaron Glenn and they said we don't want you, and
they caught him. So that's literally a cast off, right,
So he is a cast off. But I think calling
yourself a cast off is not as dignified as crediting
your teammates for being one, you know what I mean? Like, oh, okay,
and I see when he's up there on the rocky
steps giving the speech.
Speaker 4 (11:02):
Wasn't like and me I did this in this so
all about as other team.
Speaker 7 (11:07):
See, I saw two routes there, I saw one of
like I'm making a joke. Yes, I'm a cast up,
but I'm not a cut yeah, and I saw the
other one serious. The third one is giving them I
didn't even think about it.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
I remember there's a time I'm trying to think of
the teammate who did it, man Ti there Kirk Cousins.
Someone told the story once that Kirk Cousins used to
walk around like the cafeteria complaining about the franchise tag
and knows how much how what it's like to be franchise.
Speaker 4 (11:29):
Tagged, and the other guys are like, Kirk.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
Shut up, man, you're getting franchise tag for this much.
And the left guard who gets tagged is getting for
this much.
Speaker 4 (11:37):
So it's like Aaron, you are, yes, a cast.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
Off, but like you are in a different stratosphere than
Kenny Gainwell the cast off. And I think Rogers is
aware of that and didn't want to put himself in
that group.
Speaker 3 (11:47):
Mike Gee.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
I also think that there is a personality quip with
Rogers that I do think our own Kyle Brandt has
in similarity, which is, like that person who asked that
follow up question, the obvious answer, the headline answer is
for him to confirm, yeah, I'm a cast off too.
But the second you imply that you think you.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
Know what the answer out of Rogers's mouth is going
to be. He's gonnazag.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
He's gonna be like, no, what do you mean, That's
not I'm not answering it like that, Kyle, you do that?
Rogers says that, like you want to lead it a
certain way, and he's like, no, I'm not digging you
down that path.
Speaker 4 (12:17):
Well, thank you, Jamie.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
I don't know if that was just complimented or insulted.
Speaker 4 (12:19):
But which is follow up? And that follow up by
that reporter whose name I don't know.
Speaker 7 (12:25):
Who it is, isn't perfect, I think so.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
A great follow up on the spot, like an immediate
so credit to her. And then it just it became
a moment now because of the question and the answer.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
Well, that was the throwtown where you just insulted or complimented?
Speaker 3 (12:37):
Which one is it?
Speaker 4 (12:37):
No?
Speaker 2 (12:37):
Moving on, in the spirit, in the spirit of tonight's
Ram Seahawks matchup, We're going to take a musical approach.
All right, better road trip playlist, Better road trip playlist,
Seattle grunge or la hip hop man sign?
Speaker 6 (12:55):
First of all, what the heck is Seattle grun You know, like,
I don't know what that is. I didn't know what
that is. It's going to be a hip hop for me?
Come on, I mean, there's the only thing I'm just
I'm being honest. The only thing that comes closer to
l a hip hop scene for me is island reggae. Like,
if you're in the car with me, there's either gonna
be some.
Speaker 4 (13:13):
Some game planes, some.
Speaker 6 (13:15):
Some Snoop Kendrick YG, there's something, and then there's gonna
be Somelian some Brada is Like that's that's all that's
being played in my household, in my car. So I
don't know, and I'm gonna I'm gonna prepare myself for
the lesson that Kyle is gonna give me about the
grunge because I assumed that my brother Kyle knows what
that is.
Speaker 4 (13:32):
Do you know I'm not saying la hip hop?
Speaker 6 (13:33):
How dare you celebrate all music? Because I look at
Mike G. Mike G looks like he's some easy, some
snoop dog guy. Because Mike G's bombing?
Speaker 4 (13:44):
Why is he? And I don't what's the difference? He
go ahead, Jamie, which way am I going? Let's go.
Let's get the predictions in this.
Speaker 3 (13:51):
I think rap sheets, la hip hop.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
I think you are Seattle grunge, and I think Calori, Yeah.
Speaker 4 (13:57):
You know it's Mike, Mike Hello. TiO is definitely grunge.
Speaker 7 (14:00):
Okay, Rappaport is definitely hip hop.
Speaker 4 (14:03):
On the show Fluid, I am Fluid.
Speaker 7 (14:06):
And in this case, you would think I would go
see I would think I would go Seattle grun I'm
going La hip.
Speaker 4 (14:11):
Which is but so so.
Speaker 7 (14:13):
Tupac was born East Coast and then went West Coast,
and he's considered West Coast if I'm not mistaken. So
Picture Me Roland was the one that my buddy and I.
It's hilarious now that I say it, now that's coming
out of my mouth. My buddy and I, Frank, we
were driving, I think we were early college, you know,
we drive down the shore and like Picture Me rolland
(14:33):
was the song that would come up while you were driving,
and I think it was Big Psych was the name
of the rapper that would come in and go I
Got Keys coming from Overseas. It was a great driving song.
So just that song alone, I'm going here La.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
I'm just trying to recover. I feel like Manti just
lit me up. Manti, what I would say to you
is cruising down the street in my.
Speaker 4 (14:51):
Six and I'm not gonna go there. I know where
you're going though.
Speaker 3 (14:55):
He's gonna zig.
Speaker 4 (14:56):
Okay, he's gonna go.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
You know what I'm gonna do, Jamie, I'm gonna zig.
Speaker 4 (15:00):
I'm just gonna listen.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
Seattle Grunge is my mother's milk. I will get home
to and I will listen to it.
Speaker 4 (15:05):
I'll listen.
Speaker 1 (15:05):
This is all I basically listened to public service Jamie.
A couple of years ago, around this time of year,
I tried to help educate you on something before your time.
Speaker 4 (15:13):
I gave you a Pantera CD.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
So right now I don't have a CD to give you,
but I do.
Speaker 4 (15:18):
Have a playlist.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
This is a semi deep cut Seattle Grungs playlist. Anybody
at home can use it. Anybody and the show wants
to use it. So just very quickly. All Night Thing
by Temple of the Dog. It's a beautiful song. Chris
Cornell sings, It's about hooking up. It's great breath by
Pearl jam a deep cut. They don't play it much live,
don't follow out some chains. We'll make you cry, negative
creep Berndervana will blow your speakers.
Speaker 4 (15:40):
Fourth of July by.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
Song Guards Dark as Hell really heavy, and then Crown
of Thorns by Mother Love Bone sung by the late
Andrew Wood. Guys, I'm not trying to be pretentious here
and teaching teaching, but if you're young, or if you're Manti,
and I think Manti thought Seattle Grunge was the name
of a band, Seattle Grunge the band, it is a
genre and Jamie and Mantai, I want you to listen
to those songs.
Speaker 6 (15:59):
The fact that kab just had six songs just right
there just answers my question.
Speaker 4 (16:04):
Just boom boom. But Mike, you my guy. Yeah, I'm
talking about.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
Mother Loves Bone is never more grunge band that I've
ever I mean, I cannot believe there's a band called
Mother Love Bone that's so perfect.
Speaker 4 (16:17):
Yeah, very important band.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
Very important.
Speaker 4 (16:19):
Man.
Speaker 7 (16:20):
Now we're about to go to wrap Aport and this
is going to get out of here.
Speaker 4 (16:23):
He's not going to stop.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
And talk to us about Allison Chains or Screaming Trees
or something.
Speaker 4 (16:28):
Bone.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
Yeah, I am.
Speaker 4 (16:33):
I am not going to do that.
Speaker 9 (16:34):
I did go to a Smashing Pumpkins concert one time.
Speaker 4 (16:37):
Is that in the same category? That's Chicago. They're from Chicago.
You don't.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
You don't have to have your face look so in
pain when you mentioned anything besides la hip hop.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
It's ridiculous.
Speaker 9 (16:46):
I mean, look, I understand, like Nirvana was a thing,
but like all the other ones, like they're kind of
like just Nirvana but trying to.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
Be but not as good.
Speaker 9 (16:54):
Whereas like if you go deep into la hip hop,
like there is some there is some great stuff here.
I was a big n W A guy, a big
easy guy listen to Easy Does. It was just one
of my great experiences. One of the first CDs I
ever got was the Chronic which God Like. When that
came out, it was just unbelievable. Up and smoke Tora
I saw. I mean, if you ever if you've never
(17:16):
seen a crip walking person at a concert, a truly
amazing experience watching ice Cube did it even some like
classics like COOLi Oh, May he Rest in Peace, like
just there's so much good stuff. The greatest rapper of
all time, Notorious Pig, knows that going back to Cali
is a big, great thing. I'm also, by the way,
(17:37):
since we're on the topic, reading a fantastic book by
Jeff Prohman on Tupac.
Speaker 4 (17:41):
A biography the show.
Speaker 9 (17:43):
Thanks for watching, and excellent and so unbelievably tragic. I
can't even tell you like it's great but just brutal anyway.
Speaker 3 (17:53):
Not shrapsheet. I love how you said.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
You saying I know that Nirvana was a thing is
like me saying I know Bears Packers is like kind
of a big matchup, Like I feel like that it
was like an understate of a century for that genre music.
But please wax poetic about the Saturday night kind of
a big game in Chicago.
Speaker 9 (18:12):
Kind of a big game in Chicago, And I know
there's been some people, as Kyle mention you, who put
the attention.
Speaker 1 (18:18):
Elsewhere, maybe on some stadiums.
Speaker 9 (18:19):
We're going to focus on the game because it's a
really big one between two excellent teams. Will start off
with some of the injuries. Christian Watson, the star receiver
for the Packers, really has been an electric, electric part
of this offense. If you watch him go down here,
you're like, Okay, that is not good. By the way,
incredible pick by Patrick Shutan chess shoulder injury not believed
(18:41):
to be serious and actually, Christian Watson told reporters yesterday
that he thinks he should be all right for the games,
might actually somehow get himself onto the field. Josh Jacobs
dealing with knee and ankle injuries. This is going to
be I think speaking of things for Josh Jacobs. He's
got stiff this at his knees, He's got some swelling,
probably going to battle this to the rest.
Speaker 4 (19:01):
Of the season.
Speaker 9 (19:02):
He has managed to play whenever pot I would also
expect him to play on Saturday, but not going to
be one hundred percent. Different situation for Romadones and he
stand out for the Chicago Bear. He was going to
play last week, had a foot injury, was active, and
then right before the game was to play it out
because he aggravated that. I don't see him on the
field at all on Saturday, and maybe not again to
(19:23):
the playoffs.
Speaker 4 (19:24):
Your hope is for him to just fully.
Speaker 9 (19:26):
Heal and get his thing situated, and then for the
Philadelphia Eagles, one of their best defensive players, Jalen Carter,
still not practicing. Had a procedure on both shoulders's kind
of a strengthen and accelerate some healing. Has not been
able to practice yet this week, which probably does not
bode well for his participation on Saturday.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
The Steelers got back on track with a win over
the Dolphins on Monday Night Football, and they've implemented the
tush push into their offense. Consider that when you know
that Aaron Rodgers is at their quarterback. So Rogers spoke
yesterday and he poked fun a little bit at the Steelers'
usage of the play.
Speaker 8 (20:04):
You never know, never know. I will say that it's
not a ten on eleven play. I've seen that places where,
oh it's ten on eleven. What's the quarterback going back there,
just standing with his hands on his hips. There's a
lot of guys who aren't involved in that play, usually
a deep safety, and the guys on the edges had
absolutely zero impact on the play. So as long as
we're going to keep sneaking it, I'm going to keep
(20:25):
standing back there and hopefully signaling first down.
Speaker 2 (20:29):
If you haven't seen the image, it's Rogers standing there
looking like the godfather of the tush push.
Speaker 3 (20:34):
Manti. He doesn't have.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
Any involvement, However, he will when the Steelers take on
the Lions this weekend. Manti, what do you make of
this matchup? Spinning it forward and the Steelers impact on
a potential Lion's playoff run well.
Speaker 4 (20:45):
Number one.
Speaker 6 (20:45):
If the Steelers can build off of what they did
against the Dolphin is this past week. I think things
bode well, not only in this game but for them
going in the future.
Speaker 4 (20:52):
Now, I want to talk about this play.
Speaker 6 (20:54):
Okay, I do want to talk about this play because
Aaron Rodgers is speaking facts as to not everybody is
trying to stop the sneak.
Speaker 4 (21:01):
Right, you have the guys on.
Speaker 6 (21:02):
The edge, everybody has a man Imagine like a wildcat.
Speaker 4 (21:06):
The only reason why nobody is.
Speaker 6 (21:08):
Technically lined up over the quarterback is because he's behind
the guy who's getting the ball. If he was out
at wide receiver, somebody would respect him and go there. Now,
there was a play last week, I believe it was
Houston Texans versus the Cardinals where there was a mistake
that happened where Woody Marx gets this ball, the center
snaps the ball through CJ. Stroud's legs, and Roody Marx
(21:30):
picks this ball up and runs into the end zone
for a touchdown. And I kept thinking, like Ben Johnson
did something like this last year when he was watching
the Packers play at versus Bears, and the.
Speaker 4 (21:44):
Stumblebum came about because he saw.
Speaker 6 (21:47):
Jordan Love stumble and he watched how the Bear secondary
kind of reacted. He was like, Hey, I'm going to
create a play because of that based off of mistake.
Speaker 4 (21:55):
I'm not Ben Johnson.
Speaker 6 (21:57):
I don't coach in the NFL, but it would be
so cool to see Aaron Rodgers stand back there with
his hands in his pockets like a U usually does.
But thence I have one of those plays, trick plays
where they snap it directly to him. Jamie, Yeah, and
then one of those guys big Titans on the end
run a route. I haven't seen it. I would love
to see it. So, Mike g That's where my mind
(22:18):
went when I watched this play with both plays with
the Steelers sneak and the Houston Texans kind of mistake
turned into a touchdown that somebody's gonna grab it and
use it at least I hope.
Speaker 4 (22:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (22:29):
I was thinking about this in terms of his answer
and that Texans play and him saying, we may have
some wrinkles off of that. We saw one with the
Eagles where they ran saque around the edge against the Chargers.
Speaker 4 (22:40):
Took that one to the house.
Speaker 7 (22:41):
But I'm thinking myself, could you get the ball and
like the guy's under center, but you snap it all
the way through his legs, almost like a punt, all
the way back to Rogers back there, and now all of.
Speaker 4 (22:50):
A sudden they set the cover.
Speaker 7 (22:51):
When everybody scatters that way, you know he's got hands
on his hips. There's you know, first of all, we
don't have much time because this may be banned in
the Honestly, you've been to get all these.
Speaker 4 (23:02):
Variations in while you can.
Speaker 7 (23:04):
Could that be possible? That might be fun to watch.
I also love the fact that he's like, why is
everybody focused on me? There's at least three defenders.
Speaker 4 (23:11):
You could see them there.
Speaker 7 (23:12):
You know, he's Kyle Hamilton just chilling like he's taking
the playoff as well. And I love that Rogers is like, well,
signal first down. Well, their job is the signal fourth down, right,
so everybody's got a job even if they're not doing anything.
I love that, you know, he's so offended by the
notion that he's not doing anything but other people are.
Speaker 1 (23:29):
Well, well, Rodgers is avoiding is it's his body language. He's
leaning into it, all right, He's not in any kind
of athletic stance. He's not feigning any type of action.
He's fully checked out. He might as well be reading
the paper or scanning his phone. That's why it's funny.
You would think you stand back there and maybe your
feet are staggered or something like something's gonna happen. He
(23:50):
stands over his hands on his hips, like making a
statement about how checked out he is. I'm reminded of
in the Weird Year that Jay Culer was on the Dolphins.
I think Adam Gay split him out at wide receiver
to do one of those things, and you know, it
was like he had a cigarette and he wasn't doing anything.
Rodgers could, if he wanted to, at least try to
look like something might happen, but he might not.
Speaker 4 (24:12):
Here's an interesting thing.
Speaker 1 (24:13):
What if what if in the maybe the last game
against the Ravens or this week in Detroit or a
playoff game, what if their initial push with the Connor
Haywards push push is steymied and it looks like they're
going to get stuck. Would Rogers run in and push
because I know he's got a hand issue, but he
is the eleventh guy and Son isn't the point of
the push, all hands on deck, you should come and
(24:34):
try to push, because if he's being funny and he's
doing the hands on the hips and oh no, it's
fourth and one and we got stuff, get your butt
up there and push. Do it.
Speaker 4 (24:42):
I bet Rivers would do it. He's older than you are.
Go and do it.
Speaker 1 (24:45):
I just don't wonder if that or if he's just
constantly going to stand there and wait for the first down,
because sometimes in the playoffs might because we saw last
year with Buffalo, these things get stopped.
Speaker 7 (24:52):
No, I think he's I think he's just back there.
Speaker 4 (24:54):
Look at all those cast offs pushing.
Speaker 1 (24:56):
Ah, But he's not cast off, so he can't.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
It's like what parents look like at the park and
you take your kids there and you're standing there and
you're like, you guys, get all your jolly's out so
we can get to like a good bedtime tonightly you
got it.
Speaker 3 (25:08):
It's like he's not going to be a part of that.
Speaker 2 (25:10):
Also, is there ever like an emergency skate patch like
pitch that could happen?
Speaker 3 (25:14):
Like you standing back there, he's available, but then.
Speaker 2 (25:16):
He's gotta take off and maybe do another discount double
check there's a lot of potential here for the quarterback
back there. All right, guys, we gotta get a break
because we have trivia coming.
Speaker 3 (25:25):
Up on BMFB.
Speaker 2 (25:28):
Wow, we're all on the nice list this year, aren't we.
There's a game tonight, there's a couple on Saturday, there's
a lot on Sunday. And then it just begins. It
just unravels, like a roller wrapping paper that's gotten away
from you. It's the holiday season and here's.
Speaker 3 (25:44):
The gift we have for you.
Speaker 2 (25:46):
GMFB trivia on a Thursday. The theme is the matchups
ahead of Week sixteen. Mike Garafollo, you are first on
the blocket.
Speaker 1 (25:55):
Come on, you can do a single, bloop single, I'll bunt,
I'll do whatever I have to right, yes, throw yourself in.
Speaker 3 (26:02):
The line of the ball and you will get on. Mike.
Speaker 4 (26:05):
Fine, you gotta be fast.
Speaker 2 (26:06):
This week on Sunday Night Football, Derrick Henry will face
off against his former head coach in Mike Brabel. They
were hoping Tennessee together, obviously, but this will be the
first time since Week thirteen, twenty seventeen, when Brabel was
actually the Texas defensive coordinator, where he would be tasked
to stop Derrick Henry. At the time, Derrick Henry was
back up to DeMarco Murray for the type.
Speaker 3 (26:27):
Let's watch.
Speaker 4 (26:30):
This is a thirty five the pitch for Henry and
he's going to get the first down and more. Henry
off to the races down the sideline. Can they catch him?
Speaker 6 (26:39):
They love Yeah.
Speaker 1 (26:40):
Malkin Hart was like, good, yeah, seventy five yards, wells.
Speaker 4 (26:46):
Hamler gets to the heads.
Speaker 8 (26:47):
It's just about that speed sixty seven.
Speaker 2 (26:50):
There's just no answer to that if you're the Texans
defensive coordinator at the time, and that was Mike Brabel, So, guys,
Mike Heerfolo. In that game, Derick Henry closed out the
win with that seventy five yard touchdown run in the
final minute of the game, the first of his five
career rushing touchdowns of seventy five or more.
Speaker 3 (27:07):
Mike Garvolo, which.
Speaker 2 (27:08):
Player holds the all time wrecker question for rushing touchdowns
at least seventy five yards? Is it a Adrian Peters
got it? Chris Johnson, see Barry Sanders or d Darren mcfatten.
Speaker 4 (27:23):
You know that meme of what's the guy's holding rifles?
And then there's a clown in the Yeah, yeah, yeah,
it's the Army guys. Yeah, yeah, it's Darren mcpatt. I
love the dmcson there maybe.
Speaker 1 (27:31):
Answer, no, no, no, I love dmc he was awesome.
Speaker 4 (27:36):
He can't be the answer. Can he remember his college back? Yeah?
The NFL? I know, but I'm reflecting on it.
Speaker 7 (27:45):
Mike Cheap, I know a lot of people need Jared
might go, Adrian Peterson, Barry Sanders had a lot of
phenomenal runs, long runs.
Speaker 4 (27:52):
But I'm gonna go with another type, Chris Johnson. I'm
gonna go with Chris Jenson.
Speaker 2 (27:56):
Okay, Well, Derrick Henry has five. Indeed, Chris Johnson has more.
Chris two thousand. Y'ad Jonason has scored seven times in
his career from seventy five or more out which is
all being a member as the Tennessee Titans.
Speaker 4 (28:17):
CE J two K Mike, I.
Speaker 3 (28:22):
Think I think that was a double. I think you
started off way to go.
Speaker 7 (28:25):
Mike, here, I got like belong in the conversation.
Speaker 4 (28:29):
They would have just random. I bet he has four.
Speaker 3 (28:31):
Guys.
Speaker 2 (28:32):
Manti has been u informed that this is specifically very
challenging for him, so it needs your emotional support.
Speaker 4 (28:38):
Coming from guys. That was more than the button. Mike Y,
I gotta say that was like a Homer Mansai.
Speaker 2 (28:43):
The Broncos and Jaguars are meeting this week, with both
teams leading their division and Denver sits atop the AFC
right now. The last time the Broncos hosted a playoff
game was the twenty fifteen AFC Championship game against the
New England Patriots, which was the final meeting between Peyton
Manning and Tom Brady. The Broncos defeated the Patriots that day,
twenty to eighteen to advance to Super Bowl fifty. Which
(29:04):
players scored the most touchdowns in that AFC Championship game?
Is it a Owen Daniels, b Rob Gronkowski, C Emmanuel
Sanders or D Steven Jackson.
Speaker 6 (29:17):
Owen Daniels tighten, Rob Gronkowsky tighten Menuel Sanders wide.
Speaker 2 (29:21):
Receiver twenty to eighteen was the final scorer and the
Broncos won.
Speaker 6 (29:26):
Broncos want, They're gonna say Broncos won. They want me
to go to Broncos. It has to be a.
Speaker 4 (29:31):
Patriot comes I'm gonna go.
Speaker 2 (29:40):
Don't over complicate it for yourself.
Speaker 4 (29:42):
The over complicated Jamie. Is it Rob Gronkowski, b.
Speaker 3 (29:48):
Jame, No, it's not.
Speaker 1 (29:49):
When you said don't over complicated.
Speaker 2 (29:52):
You immediately over complicated it by going with the losing
team as the one that scores the most. Daniels complicated
first t one as the guy scored the most touchdowns.
Speaker 3 (30:07):
He caught first.
Speaker 2 (30:10):
First half touchdowns a total at two, and it gave
the Broncos the early lead, and those would be the
final touchdowns of Owen Daniels' career, as both he and
Peyton Manning retired as the raigning Super Bowl Chance after
winning Super Bowl fifteen.
Speaker 4 (30:23):
I take you through.
Speaker 1 (30:24):
I remember this, Jamie, go ahead. Manti obviously doesn't. I
was at this game. It was on the first drive
Peyton went down the field that hit Owen Daniels to
set the tone.
Speaker 4 (30:32):
Stephen Jackson was there.
Speaker 1 (30:34):
He was a Patriot at the time, at the end
of his career. But Owen Daniels and then of course
they went on to play the Panthers. Everyone thought the
Panthers with Cam Newton were going to beat them.
Speaker 4 (30:42):
They did not. That's that's it.
Speaker 1 (30:43):
I remember it well. And Manti, Jamie, here's what happened.
Speaker 4 (30:46):
Mike. We told him just get on base.
Speaker 1 (30:48):
Yeah, Mike Kidd a lead off triple and he gets
to third and.
Speaker 4 (30:51):
He's clapping his hands and doing that.
Speaker 1 (30:53):
Type of thing and getting the dug out fired up.
Manti hit a pop fly to the second baseman, and
now I gotta get Mike in.
Speaker 7 (30:59):
I gotta get a mis Stephen Jackson and Rob Gronkowski
scored the touchdowns for.
Speaker 4 (31:04):
The Patrio, so at least they did get it there.
I got two. That's a big question. Kyle.
Speaker 2 (31:08):
GMFB wasn't even on the air in twenty fifteen.
Speaker 3 (31:10):
What were you doing at that game in Denver?
Speaker 4 (31:12):
Yeah? I was working with Jim Rome. Baby, come on right,
I have a LFE. But I was with Roman. I
was working and was working for CBS. We went there.
It was this big deal. I was there. I was
a producer. Off the air.
Speaker 3 (31:21):
That's awesome off the air. Okay, Kyle, you're up, come
on KP.
Speaker 4 (31:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (31:25):
Back in nineteen ninety one, Dave Craig led the Seahawks
to a primetime win against the Rams at the Kingdome
on Sunday Night Football. That same year, Dave Grohl made
his debut as the drummer with the legendary cl grunge
band Nirvana on their second album, so we wasn't around
for the first. This is their second album called never Mind.
In January of ninety two. The album never Mind supplanted
(31:49):
which album for the number one spot on the US
Metal All Right, is it a Dangerous by Michael Jackson?
Speaker 3 (31:58):
He rope in the Wind by.
Speaker 2 (32:00):
Garth Brooks, C to the Extreme by Vanilla Ice, and
d that album by Youtwo Okchung Baby.
Speaker 1 (32:09):
I know it's not c because Vanilla Ice recorded that
in nineteen ninety. He has a lyric that says, eighty
nine was my time, but ninety is my year. So
that's out if we're going to go all the way
to ninety two. Oktun Baby was a massive Garth Brooks
was running the world at that point. And Dangerous by
Michael Jackson. I feel like was bigger in ninety three
than it was in ninety two, So I'm gonna take
(32:30):
that off. So I'm down to either Oktung Baby Mysterious
Ways one or Roping the Wind.
Speaker 7 (32:38):
Which was Octungbaby was definitely ninety one. But this is
January of ninety two, so there's carol.
Speaker 4 (32:42):
All right, listen.
Speaker 1 (32:44):
He was the biggest thing in the world next to
Michael Jackson. I'm going to go with Kurt Cobain here.
We are now entertain us knocking roping the win by
Garth Brooks out of number one? Does Mike Gerfalo score, Kyle?
Speaker 2 (32:58):
Do you know how they score in a baseball score book?
Speaker 3 (33:01):
Differently?
Speaker 2 (33:02):
The looking strikeout versus the swinging strikeout, shutwards k the
backward Yes, my friend, that's a backwards k for you.
You just watched that fastball go right by you. It
is a dangerous It is a dangerous by Michael Jackson.
You never get the years off with the albums.
Speaker 4 (33:19):
This is shocking.
Speaker 1 (33:22):
January, but January throwing because it's almost ninety one.
Speaker 4 (33:27):
All right, I'm not going to complain.
Speaker 2 (33:28):
I struck out the albums with the famous cover of
the Naked Baby swimming after a dollar bill future of
the iconic lead Smells like teen Spirit. That was a
single that became the best selling, one of the best
selling songs of all time.
Speaker 4 (33:40):
All right, Mike, get yourself home.
Speaker 2 (33:43):
Or yeah, Mike, you're gonna have to steal thirty.
Speaker 3 (33:45):
I think you still home?
Speaker 2 (33:47):
Still home?
Speaker 4 (33:49):
Ready? We've got one more?
Speaker 2 (33:50):
Come on, let's go, Philip, Yeah, Philip Rivers will face
the forty nine Ers this week, hoping to earn his
first Monday Night football wins since Week six of twenty thirteen. Coincidentally,
that win came against his current team and in Indianapolis
Folts Manti. You actually had five tackles in this game,
which was a field goal fest, but it did feature
(34:11):
one single touchdowns In the second quarter, down three nothing,
the Chargers had the ball and we're about to enter
the red zone. How was the lone touchdown of this
game scored on this?
Speaker 4 (34:24):
I bet it was Sprolls.
Speaker 2 (34:26):
Is it a Antonio Gates receiving a touchdown?
Speaker 3 (34:30):
Catching a touchdown pass?
Speaker 2 (34:31):
Is it b Danny Woodhead rushing the ball for a touchdown?
See Keenan Allen catching a touchdown pass? Or d Robert
Mathis fumble return for a touchdown?
Speaker 4 (34:42):
Jamie, what year again?
Speaker 3 (34:44):
Twenty thirteen?
Speaker 4 (34:45):
It's my rookie year. Hu was that Danny wood had
in the backfield? Though? And wood Head in the backfield?
Bro Yep, yep, yep?
Speaker 1 (34:52):
That am I going first?
Speaker 4 (34:54):
I think it was.
Speaker 6 (35:00):
I would go see Keenan Allen receiving touchdown on the
back of the end.
Speaker 3 (35:05):
I think you guys want to rely on the guy.
Speaker 1 (35:07):
That was spread it across, spread it across, spread across.
Speaker 4 (35:12):
I'm going to see I'm thinking I'm with MANDI.
Speaker 1 (35:14):
You're gonna go with manti right. I said, we have
to hit a sack fly. We can't because there's two outs.
That doesn't do us any good. We have to get
a hit, all right, Well, you're gonna both go with Keenan.
Come on, Kate, you know what I'm gonna do. You
know what I'm gonna do, Mantile. Because I love you guys,
and I trust you guys, I'm gonna see Keenan. Now
I'm receiving touch on. We're all in together.
Speaker 4 (35:31):
Any one, come on, let's go the pressure, Jamie.
Speaker 2 (35:34):
The only person who can deliver the truth to you
guys is Mike three goo.
Speaker 10 (35:39):
Come on, Mike, come on, Mike, come on, get.
Speaker 7 (35:52):
Yeah, wants to do you believe in miracles?
Speaker 4 (36:01):
I don't believe what I'm just saw. I'm Kurk Gibson.
Speaker 1 (36:07):
Yeah, the tail lights and Chabete Ravine. Oh, come on, Homeso, Wow,
let's go.
Speaker 3 (36:19):
Oh man, whoa, that's fantastic. That's fantastic. You and Hunk
still playing that guy. Funny story.
Speaker 2 (36:29):
A couple of weeks ago, I was driving by the
Chargers facility and I saw a man walking with a
hoodie up outside the fence, like near the entrance, and
I was like, is that Keenan Allen? Like that guy
just walks around and wear like the bolts, like as
if he's just carrying his backpack into where Keenan Allen's
still going after it.
Speaker 3 (36:45):
You and Keenan were.
Speaker 2 (36:46):
Draft mates back in twenty Yes, I'm sure you remember. Yes,
and Philip Rivers somehow was thirty one years old in
that game. And here we still are talking about Rivers
this weekend, the lock gots, the games and the matchups
this weekend.
Speaker 3 (36:59):
That was risky, you guys, but you went with it.
Speaker 2 (37:01):
That was a seeing Ice single up the middle to
score Mike your follow that.
Speaker 4 (37:06):
I thought this was going to Gates for sure.
Speaker 2 (37:08):
Yeah, yeah, fantastic.
Speaker 3 (37:13):
Well no, never for all.
Speaker 4 (37:14):
Of us to be on the same base.
Speaker 2 (37:16):
Oh my god, you did not like bat lead off.

Welcome to Good Morning Football, presented by Old Trapper.
Speaker 3 (00:18):
That's right DM be on a.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
Thursday, Jamie Manti, Mike G, and Kyle Love hanging with
Manti and Mike G. Kyle and I have been doing
gmt B together. I think this is almost the end
of our fourth season. So know Kyle pretty well to
know this much. I know after he just said that
he was having a conversation passionately in the commercial break
with Mike G, and I said, I have fomo, Kyle,
(00:41):
I think on the opposite ends of our personality scale,
Like you have no fomo when it comes to things.
Speaker 3 (00:46):
You're just like, I'm good, I'm out.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
I don't need to participate, I don't care not to
be there, and I'm over here constantly, like but I
want to be there, and I need to be there,
and I need to eavesdrop and I need to know
what Kyle was talking about. Correct me if I'm wrong.
But you have zero fomo and I'm at like the
max fomo.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
I don't have a fear of missing out. I wish
I'm missing out all the time, but I will.
Speaker 4 (01:04):
Just say this.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
Here's what I will say. I grew up a fan
of the Notre Dame Fighting Irish. I grew up watching
the movie Hoosiers. Yes, I love the state of Indiana,
Manta Taaloe. If not for the State of Indiana, you
would not be here right now. It's a wonderful, wonderful
state that I have a lot of respect for up
to a certain point where if you include that state
(01:25):
in a certain topic of conversation, my bleep and head
will explode. And it's just there during commercial and I'm
just going to leave it at that and be a gentleman.
It's by fault. I asked, he did, He did so.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
Kyle's will throw down with Mike g about this topic
that still is perfect not to be mentioned, but it
was whispered a little bit. Okay, let's move on with
other things that will elicit rage for some. Maybe it's
time for throw Down Thursday. Ramseyhawks, it is happening tonight.
There's a night Football NFC West Showdown. Massive Implications. It's
all the sexy words, right. We got to talk to
(01:57):
Rams linebacker Jared Verse because earlier this week he was
asked about playing in Big games like this.
Speaker 4 (02:04):
Much.
Speaker 5 (02:04):
I mean, like I say everything like, this is a
very good team. I said the first time, I'm gonna
save the second time. Our main focus is just going
in there and whining. I don't care about pond time.
I don't care about anyone's record. Like when you go
on to that field at ZO zero, whether you got
two wins, what do you got eleven?
Speaker 3 (02:19):
I wish I could just.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
Stand up at a podium with a hood up and
just be like, this is what.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
The business is here we go throw it on Thursday.
Who are you riding with tonight?
Speaker 2 (02:27):
Matthew Stafford and the Rams more mind Sam Darnold than
the Seal.
Speaker 6 (02:32):
Press, Sure pressure Pressia. I'm gonna go with matt Stafford
and the Rams. I've been high on the Rams. I've
been saying that. Now I know they don't have the
Bonte Adams. But whenever there is that hole or that
gap there at the other wide receiver position opposite of
pukuina cool, there's a man named Tutu at Well that
comes onto the scene.
Speaker 4 (02:49):
He wears number five. He is their vertical threat. He's
extremely fast.
Speaker 6 (02:53):
And then Kobe Parkinson, as you see right there, has
come alive in the red zone.
Speaker 4 (02:57):
So I believe in Sean McVay.
Speaker 6 (02:59):
Sean McVay is somebody who we love on this show
and somebody who I love watching from a schematics standpoint
of all of the fancy things and the creative ways
that he gets his offense and his team in general
in positions to win big time football games. They played
in Super Bowl, so the lights are never too bright
from and matt Stafford.
Speaker 4 (03:18):
Is on a terror.
Speaker 6 (03:18):
So I got to go Mike g with the team
from across the street, the La Ram hang on.
Speaker 4 (03:23):
I need to bring it.
Speaker 7 (03:24):
Well, see now it just changed on the screen there
when that's my little tombs, don't we call it? But
I need to bring in the Commissioner throw down throw
Thursday here because I said, who are you riding with?
Speaker 4 (03:32):
Are you the Commissioner? You looked at me. I thought
it was Jamie. Yeah, going to Jamie.
Speaker 7 (03:36):
Because it said Matthew Stafford and the Rams or Sam
Darnold and the Seahawks.
Speaker 4 (03:41):
I'm going to talk about the defense. Is that okay?
Speaker 7 (03:43):
Because I want to talk about the Rams defense. I
want to make sure that that's okay.
Speaker 4 (03:45):
We had Jared burse coming in, that's fine. Well, they're
going to rude again.
Speaker 7 (03:50):
You're going to see the quarterbacks because I'm going to
go after the guys that were going after the quarterbacks
because the Rams defensive front.
Speaker 4 (03:57):
Jared Verse, thank you very much.
Speaker 7 (03:58):
Kyle Brent did a great job of getting after Sam
Dark Like we talked about it yesterday and I said.
Speaker 4 (04:03):
Well, you know, he was air and down his receivers
at times, but that was a bit of the problem.
But the other problem was everything.
Speaker 7 (04:10):
That was right up in his mug. And I remember
talking to Kobe Turner on The Insiders. We had him
on this summer as a guest. Unbelievable guests. He's welcome anytime.
He's amazing. And he talked about how the chemistry, like
last year they had all these young guys up front
that were rushing and doing things on their own, but
(04:30):
once they figured out late in the season how to
do things together, it was like whoa, Like they really
unlocked it.
Speaker 4 (04:37):
And they did it in that game.
Speaker 7 (04:38):
The way that they were running their twists, the way
that they were working together, the way they.
Speaker 4 (04:41):
Were setting up each other.
Speaker 7 (04:43):
If they do that again tonight, doesn't matter who Darnold's
looking at. He had the pressure in his face that
was creating so much havoc. That's why I'm riding with
the Rams here.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
Well, listen, Rams win and I think they'd lock in
their spot as Super Bowl favorite and maybe, you know,
best team in the league again.
Speaker 4 (04:58):
The NBA, God.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
Blessed their hearts, has something really adorable called the NBA Cup.
If we followed this thing, yeah, I mean the Knicks
won something called I followed it up. Okay, I think
you're the one, Mike, They're they won the NBA Cup. Guys,
getting into New York this morning, there was all kinds
of traffic because the Knicks won the NBA Cup.
Speaker 4 (05:16):
Yeah, the Raid Secret take. You can't get into the city.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
It's that post NBA Cup frenzy here in the city.
They won it, and God bless them. And there's also
a piece of news that the Knicks decided not to
hang a banner.
Speaker 4 (05:28):
Yes good.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
The second they hung that banner, they sacrificed the right
to be called the mecca basketball in that arena. And
they're not so God blessed they made the right choice.
I feel like the Rams won the NFL Cup this year,
so they were like the best team in the regular
season for most of the seasons, certainly at like the
three quarter mark, which we've since passed, or right around
they win the NFL Cup, and God bless you. I
(05:50):
think you you win tonight and you beat this team
who I think the Seahawks are a top four team
in the NFL. If you beat them on the road
and you sweep them on the season, then it's like,
all right, well, I mean, I think the Rams are
going to the Super Bowl.
Speaker 4 (06:02):
I don't see a team beating them there.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
Far and away the best team we'll see who comes
out of the AFC to take on.
Speaker 4 (06:07):
Stafford and McVeigh.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
It's far more interesting that the Seahawks win, far more interesting.
This Rams defense is fantastic. You talked about it. This
game was the disaster. All the stats bear it out.
If the Seahawks win, it's such a flipping of the table.
It's the Rams are beatable. They've lost a couple of
games of the last few weeks. Mike McDonald is a
big game coach. Dare I say Sam donald is a
big game quarterback. The easy storylines of the Rams win
(06:30):
and we'll celebrate them. It's so much more interesting if
the Seahawks say not tonight and we'll see you again
in the playoffs. So I'm going to say, for the
sake of content and just because I think it might
be a special night in Seattle, I think the Seahawks
win on a walk off field goal.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
Kyle, Since you're bringing up the NBA Cup, it made
me think, no, no, it made me think of in hockey,
they have the President's Trophy the team with the most
points the best record, and that team gets to have
home field advantage, And it's just kind of this unfair
juxtaposition of like, Seahawks have this great record, but they
might not even get to be able to play at
home in the playoffs as they continue on. So while
we can respect the President's Trophy, we're not really sure
(07:04):
what's happening with the NBA Cup. Moving on, the Steelers
Aaron Rodgers and the Bears Kayleb Williams. I know they
didn't play each other in Week fifteen. I get that,
but when you consider what they both said after their games,
they officially will go head to head.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
Now for the best SoundBite of the week.
Speaker 4 (07:20):
Some cast offs.
Speaker 8 (07:21):
If you look at our roster, which it makes it
really special.
Speaker 7 (07:24):
To consider yourself one of those cast offs.
Speaker 4 (07:26):
Too.
Speaker 8 (07:27):
No, I'm not a cast off?
Speaker 4 (07:28):
Is it anyway I'll advice throw like forcing you can.
I can make any throw.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
So quick, so is the sainct No, I'm not a
cast off. I can make any throw. Which post game
quips embodies their individual personalities more. Is it Aaron Rodgers
casting off the question of whether or not he is
a cast off? Or Caleb Williams VANTI in a self
assured way saying no, I can make any throw.
Speaker 6 (07:54):
Well, our brother Kyle Brandt did reveal if anybody didn't know,
I'm sure you know now that I did go to
Notre Dame. And Notre Dame's biggest rival is the University
of Southern California, and Caleb william was the quarterback for
Southern California for a couple of years, and I got
to watch this guy just thread.
Speaker 4 (08:11):
The needle for two I think it was two years
he played for.
Speaker 6 (08:13):
UC after he transferred, and it continued to do that
in the NFL. What's been nice to see about Caleb
Williams this year is it seems to me seems to
be more fine tuned.
Speaker 4 (08:24):
There was almost this wild wild.
Speaker 6 (08:26):
West in his personality of how he would throw the ball,
but this year under Ben Johnson, it just seems more calculated,
and I think that's what's the most dangerous about him
this year. So I think that based on these two guys,
of these two phenomenal quarterbacks, that.
Speaker 4 (08:41):
The one is speaking the most truth as.
Speaker 6 (08:44):
His personality would have had to be Caleb Williams and
his ability to make any throw because he's shown it
now on college but in the NFL, my g.
Speaker 7 (08:51):
I'm going Aaron Rodgers, but I need more film study here,
and I feel like I have the advantage of having
Kyle Brandton my left. I think he understands Rogers maybe
a little bit more than the rest of us.
Speaker 4 (09:01):
Have some thoughts.
Speaker 7 (09:02):
So control room. Can we have that by I just
want to hear Rogers. Just want to see it again.
I just want to look into.
Speaker 4 (09:07):
His eyes as we're going through this. Are we ready here?
Because let's watch them both.
Speaker 8 (09:10):
Yeah, there's some cast offs if you look at our roster,
which it makes it really special.
Speaker 7 (09:16):
Is it yourself one of those cast offs too?
Speaker 9 (09:18):
No?
Speaker 4 (09:18):
I'm not a cast off? Is it any way? I'll
advisor for like Coote, you can I can make any throw?
All right?
Speaker 7 (09:26):
Rogers specifically was he dead serious there, because I'm I
don't know if it was like you know, because he
actually rattles it off. He talks about Kenny Gainwell, and
he talks about all these guys.
Speaker 4 (09:37):
Uh, you know these guys, right.
Speaker 7 (09:39):
And then it's like, well, are you a cast off too? No,
I'm not a cast up. Was it like he offended?
Was he legitimately to his core offended by it? Or
was he trying to sort of make a joke like
all those guys are cast offs? But you can't say
that about a future Hall of Fame quarterback. I can't
use that word in reference to me. It's fascinating. Uh,
there's room for interpretation. And that's why I gotta go
rogers here because I don't know which way he went
(10:01):
with that last answer.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
Well, with him, as always, it's enigmatic. Yes, it makes
it interesting. My take on that is he just tried
to build these guys up who are either journeymen or
role players who are scrapping their way in the NFL,
and I think he did not want to include himself
in that group out of modesty and respect for them,
being that he's the Hall of Famer, he's got amount
of money and all that stuff.
Speaker 4 (10:20):
Out of respect for them for the playoffs teammates. Yeah,
why as opposed to who, Well.
Speaker 7 (10:24):
I think it was like, you know, cast they're all
cast offs and it's so great and they've persevered and
they've done this.
Speaker 4 (10:31):
But that isn't me.
Speaker 7 (10:32):
Well you mean you think I left the Jets because.
Speaker 4 (10:35):
They didn't want me, like you think I owent up
the Packers. I chose to be like, No, he is
because he is a cast off. For sure. He was.
Speaker 1 (10:42):
He told the ther all the time. He flew across
the country on his own dime. He sat down with
Aaron Glenn and they said we don't want you, and
they caught him. So that's literally a cast off, right,
So he is a cast off. But I think calling
yourself a cast off is not as dignified as crediting
your teammates for being one, you know what I mean? Like, oh, okay,
and I see when he's up there on the rocky
steps giving the speech.
Speaker 4 (11:02):
Wasn't like and me I did this in this so
all about as other team.
Speaker 7 (11:07):
See, I saw two routes there, I saw one of
like I'm making a joke. Yes, I'm a cast up,
but I'm not a cut yeah, and I saw the
other one serious. The third one is giving them I
didn't even think about it.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
I remember there's a time I'm trying to think of
the teammate who did it, man Ti there Kirk Cousins.
Someone told the story once that Kirk Cousins used to
walk around like the cafeteria complaining about the franchise tag
and knows how much how what it's like to be franchise.
Speaker 4 (11:29):
Tagged, and the other guys are like, Kirk.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
Shut up, man, you're getting franchise tag for this much.
And the left guard who gets tagged is getting for
this much.
Speaker 4 (11:37):
So it's like Aaron, you are, yes, a cast.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
Off, but like you are in a different stratosphere than
Kenny Gainwell the cast off. And I think Rogers is
aware of that and didn't want to put himself in
that group.
Speaker 3 (11:47):
Mike Gee.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
I also think that there is a personality quip with
Rogers that I do think our own Kyle Brandt has
in similarity, which is, like that person who asked that
follow up question, the obvious answer, the headline answer is
for him to confirm, yeah, I'm a cast off too.
But the second you imply that you think you.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
Know what the answer out of Rogers's mouth is going
to be. He's gonnazag.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
He's gonna be like, no, what do you mean, That's
not I'm not answering it like that, Kyle, you do that?
Rogers says that, like you want to lead it a
certain way, and he's like, no, I'm not digging you
down that path.
Speaker 4 (12:17):
Well, thank you, Jamie.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
I don't know if that was just complimented or insulted.
Speaker 4 (12:19):
But which is follow up? And that follow up by
that reporter whose name I don't know.
Speaker 7 (12:25):
Who it is, isn't perfect, I think so.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
A great follow up on the spot, like an immediate
so credit to her. And then it just it became
a moment now because of the question and the answer.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
Well, that was the throwtown where you just insulted or complimented?
Speaker 3 (12:37):
Which one is it?
Speaker 4 (12:37):
No?
Speaker 2 (12:37):
Moving on, in the spirit, in the spirit of tonight's
Ram Seahawks matchup, We're going to take a musical approach.
All right, better road trip playlist, Better road trip playlist,
Seattle grunge or la hip hop man sign?
Speaker 6 (12:55):
First of all, what the heck is Seattle grun You know, like,
I don't know what that is. I didn't know what
that is. It's going to be a hip hop for me?
Come on, I mean, there's the only thing I'm just
I'm being honest. The only thing that comes closer to
l a hip hop scene for me is island reggae. Like,
if you're in the car with me, there's either gonna
be some.
Speaker 4 (13:13):
Some game planes, some.
Speaker 6 (13:15):
Some Snoop Kendrick YG, there's something, and then there's gonna
be Somelian some Brada is Like that's that's all that's
being played in my household, in my car. So I
don't know, and I'm gonna I'm gonna prepare myself for
the lesson that Kyle is gonna give me about the
grunge because I assumed that my brother Kyle knows what
that is.
Speaker 4 (13:32):
Do you know I'm not saying la hip hop?
Speaker 6 (13:33):
How dare you celebrate all music? Because I look at
Mike G. Mike G looks like he's some easy, some
snoop dog guy. Because Mike G's bombing?
Speaker 4 (13:44):
Why is he? And I don't what's the difference? He
go ahead, Jamie, which way am I going? Let's go.
Let's get the predictions in this.
Speaker 3 (13:51):
I think rap sheets, la hip hop.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
I think you are Seattle grunge, and I think Calori, Yeah.
Speaker 4 (13:57):
You know it's Mike, Mike Hello. TiO is definitely grunge.
Speaker 7 (14:00):
Okay, Rappaport is definitely hip hop.
Speaker 4 (14:03):
On the show Fluid, I am Fluid.
Speaker 7 (14:06):
And in this case, you would think I would go
see I would think I would go Seattle grun I'm
going La hip.
Speaker 4 (14:11):
Which is but so so.
Speaker 7 (14:13):
Tupac was born East Coast and then went West Coast,
and he's considered West Coast if I'm not mistaken. So
Picture Me Roland was the one that my buddy and I.
It's hilarious now that I say it, now that's coming
out of my mouth. My buddy and I, Frank, we
were driving, I think we were early college, you know,
we drive down the shore and like Picture Me rolland
(14:33):
was the song that would come up while you were driving,
and I think it was Big Psych was the name
of the rapper that would come in and go I
Got Keys coming from Overseas. It was a great driving song.
So just that song alone, I'm going here La.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
I'm just trying to recover. I feel like Manti just
lit me up. Manti, what I would say to you
is cruising down the street in my.
Speaker 4 (14:51):
Six and I'm not gonna go there. I know where
you're going though.
Speaker 3 (14:55):
He's gonna zig.
Speaker 4 (14:56):
Okay, he's gonna go.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
You know what I'm gonna do, Jamie, I'm gonna zig.
Speaker 4 (15:00):
I'm just gonna listen.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
Seattle Grunge is my mother's milk. I will get home
to and I will listen to it.
Speaker 4 (15:05):
I'll listen.
Speaker 1 (15:05):
This is all I basically listened to public service Jamie.
A couple of years ago, around this time of year,
I tried to help educate you on something before your time.
Speaker 4 (15:13):
I gave you a Pantera CD.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
So right now I don't have a CD to give you,
but I do.
Speaker 4 (15:18):
Have a playlist.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
This is a semi deep cut Seattle Grungs playlist. Anybody
at home can use it. Anybody and the show wants
to use it. So just very quickly. All Night Thing
by Temple of the Dog. It's a beautiful song. Chris
Cornell sings, It's about hooking up. It's great breath by
Pearl jam a deep cut. They don't play it much live,
don't follow out some chains. We'll make you cry, negative
creep Berndervana will blow your speakers.
Speaker 4 (15:40):
Fourth of July by.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
Song Guards Dark as Hell really heavy, and then Crown
of Thorns by Mother Love Bone sung by the late
Andrew Wood. Guys, I'm not trying to be pretentious here
and teaching teaching, but if you're young, or if you're Manti,
and I think Manti thought Seattle Grunge was the name
of a band, Seattle Grunge the band, it is a
genre and Jamie and Mantai, I want you to listen
to those songs.
Speaker 6 (15:59):
The fact that kab just had six songs just right
there just answers my question.
Speaker 4 (16:04):
Just boom boom. But Mike, you my guy. Yeah, I'm
talking about.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
Mother Loves Bone is never more grunge band that I've
ever I mean, I cannot believe there's a band called
Mother Love Bone that's so perfect.
Speaker 4 (16:17):
Yeah, very important band.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
Very important.
Speaker 4 (16:19):
Man.
Speaker 7 (16:20):
Now we're about to go to wrap Aport and this
is going to get out of here.
Speaker 4 (16:23):
He's not going to stop.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
And talk to us about Allison Chains or Screaming Trees
or something.
Speaker 4 (16:28):
Bone.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
Yeah, I am.
Speaker 4 (16:33):
I am not going to do that.
Speaker 9 (16:34):
I did go to a Smashing Pumpkins concert one time.
Speaker 4 (16:37):
Is that in the same category? That's Chicago. They're from Chicago.
You don't.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
You don't have to have your face look so in
pain when you mentioned anything besides la hip hop.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
It's ridiculous.
Speaker 9 (16:46):
I mean, look, I understand, like Nirvana was a thing,
but like all the other ones, like they're kind of
like just Nirvana but trying to.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
Be but not as good.
Speaker 9 (16:54):
Whereas like if you go deep into la hip hop,
like there is some there is some great stuff here.
I was a big n W A guy, a big
easy guy listen to Easy Does. It was just one
of my great experiences. One of the first CDs I
ever got was the Chronic which God Like. When that
came out, it was just unbelievable. Up and smoke Tora
I saw. I mean, if you ever if you've never
(17:16):
seen a crip walking person at a concert, a truly
amazing experience watching ice Cube did it even some like
classics like COOLi Oh, May he Rest in Peace, like
just there's so much good stuff. The greatest rapper of
all time, Notorious Pig, knows that going back to Cali
is a big, great thing. I'm also, by the way,
(17:37):
since we're on the topic, reading a fantastic book by
Jeff Prohman on Tupac.
Speaker 4 (17:41):
A biography the show.
Speaker 9 (17:43):
Thanks for watching, and excellent and so unbelievably tragic. I
can't even tell you like it's great but just brutal anyway.
Speaker 3 (17:53):
Not shrapsheet. I love how you said.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
You saying I know that Nirvana was a thing is
like me saying I know Bears Packers is like kind
of a big matchup, Like I feel like that it
was like an understate of a century for that genre music.
But please wax poetic about the Saturday night kind of
a big game in Chicago.
Speaker 9 (18:12):
Kind of a big game in Chicago, And I know
there's been some people, as Kyle mention you, who put
the attention.
Speaker 1 (18:18):
Elsewhere, maybe on some stadiums.
Speaker 9 (18:19):
We're going to focus on the game because it's a
really big one between two excellent teams. Will start off
with some of the injuries. Christian Watson, the star receiver
for the Packers, really has been an electric, electric part
of this offense. If you watch him go down here,
you're like, Okay, that is not good. By the way,
incredible pick by Patrick Shutan chess shoulder injury not believed
(18:41):
to be serious and actually, Christian Watson told reporters yesterday
that he thinks he should be all right for the games,
might actually somehow get himself onto the field. Josh Jacobs
dealing with knee and ankle injuries. This is going to
be I think speaking of things for Josh Jacobs. He's
got stiff this at his knees, He's got some swelling,
probably going to battle this to the rest.
Speaker 4 (19:01):
Of the season.
Speaker 9 (19:02):
He has managed to play whenever pot I would also
expect him to play on Saturday, but not going to
be one hundred percent. Different situation for Romadones and he
stand out for the Chicago Bear. He was going to
play last week, had a foot injury, was active, and
then right before the game was to play it out
because he aggravated that. I don't see him on the
field at all on Saturday, and maybe not again to
(19:23):
the playoffs.
Speaker 4 (19:24):
Your hope is for him to just fully.
Speaker 9 (19:26):
Heal and get his thing situated, and then for the
Philadelphia Eagles, one of their best defensive players, Jalen Carter,
still not practicing. Had a procedure on both shoulders's kind
of a strengthen and accelerate some healing. Has not been
able to practice yet this week, which probably does not
bode well for his participation on Saturday.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
The Steelers got back on track with a win over
the Dolphins on Monday Night Football, and they've implemented the
tush push into their offense. Consider that when you know
that Aaron Rodgers is at their quarterback. So Rogers spoke
yesterday and he poked fun a little bit at the Steelers'
usage of the play.
Speaker 8 (20:04):
You never know, never know. I will say that it's
not a ten on eleven play. I've seen that places where,
oh it's ten on eleven. What's the quarterback going back there,
just standing with his hands on his hips. There's a
lot of guys who aren't involved in that play, usually
a deep safety, and the guys on the edges had
absolutely zero impact on the play. So as long as
we're going to keep sneaking it, I'm going to keep
(20:25):
standing back there and hopefully signaling first down.
Speaker 2 (20:29):
If you haven't seen the image, it's Rogers standing there
looking like the godfather of the tush push.
Speaker 3 (20:34):
Manti. He doesn't have.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
Any involvement, However, he will when the Steelers take on
the Lions this weekend. Manti, what do you make of
this matchup? Spinning it forward and the Steelers impact on
a potential Lion's playoff run well.
Speaker 4 (20:45):
Number one.
Speaker 6 (20:45):
If the Steelers can build off of what they did
against the Dolphin is this past week. I think things
bode well, not only in this game but for them
going in the future.
Speaker 4 (20:52):
Now, I want to talk about this play.
Speaker 6 (20:54):
Okay, I do want to talk about this play because
Aaron Rodgers is speaking facts as to not everybody is
trying to stop the sneak.
Speaker 4 (21:01):
Right, you have the guys on.
Speaker 6 (21:02):
The edge, everybody has a man Imagine like a wildcat.
Speaker 4 (21:06):
The only reason why nobody is.
Speaker 6 (21:08):
Technically lined up over the quarterback is because he's behind
the guy who's getting the ball. If he was out
at wide receiver, somebody would respect him and go there. Now,
there was a play last week, I believe it was
Houston Texans versus the Cardinals where there was a mistake
that happened where Woody Marx gets this ball, the center
snaps the ball through CJ. Stroud's legs, and Roody Marx
(21:30):
picks this ball up and runs into the end zone
for a touchdown. And I kept thinking, like Ben Johnson
did something like this last year when he was watching
the Packers play at versus Bears, and the.
Speaker 4 (21:44):
Stumblebum came about because he saw.
Speaker 6 (21:47):
Jordan Love stumble and he watched how the Bear secondary
kind of reacted. He was like, Hey, I'm going to
create a play because of that based off of mistake.
Speaker 4 (21:55):
I'm not Ben Johnson.
Speaker 6 (21:57):
I don't coach in the NFL, but it would be
so cool to see Aaron Rodgers stand back there with
his hands in his pockets like a U usually does.
But thence I have one of those plays, trick plays
where they snap it directly to him. Jamie, Yeah, and
then one of those guys big Titans on the end
run a route. I haven't seen it. I would love
to see it. So, Mike g That's where my mind
(22:18):
went when I watched this play with both plays with
the Steelers sneak and the Houston Texans kind of mistake
turned into a touchdown that somebody's gonna grab it and
use it at least I hope.
Speaker 4 (22:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (22:29):
I was thinking about this in terms of his answer
and that Texans play and him saying, we may have
some wrinkles off of that. We saw one with the
Eagles where they ran saque around the edge against the Chargers.
Speaker 4 (22:40):
Took that one to the house.
Speaker 7 (22:41):
But I'm thinking myself, could you get the ball and
like the guy's under center, but you snap it all
the way through his legs, almost like a punt, all
the way back to Rogers back there, and now all of.
Speaker 4 (22:50):
A sudden they set the cover.
Speaker 7 (22:51):
When everybody scatters that way, you know he's got hands
on his hips. There's you know, first of all, we
don't have much time because this may be banned in
the Honestly, you've been to get all these.
Speaker 4 (23:02):
Variations in while you can.
Speaker 7 (23:04):
Could that be possible? That might be fun to watch.
I also love the fact that he's like, why is
everybody focused on me? There's at least three defenders.
Speaker 4 (23:11):
You could see them there.
Speaker 7 (23:12):
You know, he's Kyle Hamilton just chilling like he's taking
the playoff as well. And I love that Rogers is like, well,
signal first down. Well, their job is the signal fourth down, right,
so everybody's got a job even if they're not doing anything.
I love that, you know, he's so offended by the
notion that he's not doing anything but other people are.
Speaker 1 (23:29):
Well, well, Rodgers is avoiding is it's his body language. He's
leaning into it, all right, He's not in any kind
of athletic stance. He's not feigning any type of action.
He's fully checked out. He might as well be reading
the paper or scanning his phone. That's why it's funny.
You would think you stand back there and maybe your
feet are staggered or something like something's gonna happen. He
(23:50):
stands over his hands on his hips, like making a
statement about how checked out he is. I'm reminded of
in the Weird Year that Jay Culer was on the Dolphins.
I think Adam Gay split him out at wide receiver
to do one of those things, and you know, it
was like he had a cigarette and he wasn't doing anything.
Rodgers could, if he wanted to, at least try to
look like something might happen, but he might not.
Speaker 4 (24:12):
Here's an interesting thing.
Speaker 1 (24:13):
What if what if in the maybe the last game
against the Ravens or this week in Detroit or a
playoff game, what if their initial push with the Connor
Haywards push push is steymied and it looks like they're
going to get stuck. Would Rogers run in and push
because I know he's got a hand issue, but he
is the eleventh guy and Son isn't the point of
the push, all hands on deck, you should come and
(24:34):
try to push, because if he's being funny and he's
doing the hands on the hips and oh no, it's
fourth and one and we got stuff, get your butt
up there and push. Do it.
Speaker 4 (24:42):
I bet Rivers would do it. He's older than you are.
Go and do it.
Speaker 1 (24:45):
I just don't wonder if that or if he's just
constantly going to stand there and wait for the first down,
because sometimes in the playoffs might because we saw last
year with Buffalo, these things get stopped.
Speaker 7 (24:52):
No, I think he's I think he's just back there.
Speaker 4 (24:54):
Look at all those cast offs pushing.
Speaker 1 (24:56):
Ah, But he's not cast off, so he can't.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
It's like what parents look like at the park and
you take your kids there and you're standing there and
you're like, you guys, get all your jolly's out so
we can get to like a good bedtime tonightly you
got it.
Speaker 3 (25:08):
It's like he's not going to be a part of that.
Speaker 2 (25:10):
Also, is there ever like an emergency skate patch like
pitch that could happen?
Speaker 3 (25:14):
Like you standing back there, he's available, but then.
Speaker 2 (25:16):
He's gotta take off and maybe do another discount double
check there's a lot of potential here for the quarterback
back there. All right, guys, we gotta get a break
because we have trivia coming.
Speaker 3 (25:25):
Up on BMFB.
Speaker 2 (25:28):
Wow, we're all on the nice list this year, aren't we.
There's a game tonight, there's a couple on Saturday, there's
a lot on Sunday. And then it just begins. It
just unravels, like a roller wrapping paper that's gotten away
from you. It's the holiday season and here's.
Speaker 3 (25:44):
The gift we have for you.
Speaker 2 (25:46):
GMFB trivia on a Thursday. The theme is the matchups
ahead of Week sixteen. Mike Garafollo, you are first on
the blocket.
Speaker 1 (25:55):
Come on, you can do a single, bloop single, I'll bunt,
I'll do whatever I have to right, yes, throw yourself in.
Speaker 3 (26:02):
The line of the ball and you will get on. Mike.
Speaker 4 (26:05):
Fine, you gotta be fast.
Speaker 2 (26:06):
This week on Sunday Night Football, Derrick Henry will face
off against his former head coach in Mike Brabel. They
were hoping Tennessee together, obviously, but this will be the
first time since Week thirteen, twenty seventeen, when Brabel was
actually the Texas defensive coordinator, where he would be tasked
to stop Derrick Henry. At the time, Derrick Henry was
back up to DeMarco Murray for the type.
Speaker 3 (26:27):
Let's watch.
Speaker 4 (26:30):
This is a thirty five the pitch for Henry and
he's going to get the first down and more. Henry
off to the races down the sideline. Can they catch him?
Speaker 6 (26:39):
They love Yeah.
Speaker 1 (26:40):
Malkin Hart was like, good, yeah, seventy five yards, wells.
Speaker 4 (26:46):
Hamler gets to the heads.
Speaker 8 (26:47):
It's just about that speed sixty seven.
Speaker 2 (26:50):
There's just no answer to that if you're the Texans
defensive coordinator at the time, and that was Mike Brabel, So, guys,
Mike Heerfolo. In that game, Derick Henry closed out the
win with that seventy five yard touchdown run in the
final minute of the game, the first of his five
career rushing touchdowns of seventy five or more.
Speaker 3 (27:07):
Mike Garvolo, which.
Speaker 2 (27:08):
Player holds the all time wrecker question for rushing touchdowns
at least seventy five yards? Is it a Adrian Peters
got it? Chris Johnson, see Barry Sanders or d Darren mcfatten.
Speaker 4 (27:23):
You know that meme of what's the guy's holding rifles?
And then there's a clown in the Yeah, yeah, yeah,
it's the Army guys. Yeah, yeah, it's Darren mcpatt. I
love the dmcson there maybe.
Speaker 1 (27:31):
Answer, no, no, no, I love dmc he was awesome.
Speaker 4 (27:36):
He can't be the answer. Can he remember his college back? Yeah?
The NFL? I know, but I'm reflecting on it.
Speaker 7 (27:45):
Mike Cheap, I know a lot of people need Jared
might go, Adrian Peterson, Barry Sanders had a lot of
phenomenal runs, long runs.
Speaker 4 (27:52):
But I'm gonna go with another type, Chris Johnson. I'm
gonna go with Chris Jenson.
Speaker 2 (27:56):
Okay, Well, Derrick Henry has five. Indeed, Chris Johnson has more.
Chris two thousand. Y'ad Jonason has scored seven times in
his career from seventy five or more out which is
all being a member as the Tennessee Titans.
Speaker 4 (28:17):
CE J two K Mike, I.
Speaker 3 (28:22):
Think I think that was a double. I think you
started off way to go.
Speaker 7 (28:25):
Mike, here, I got like belong in the conversation.
Speaker 4 (28:29):
They would have just random. I bet he has four.
Speaker 3 (28:31):
Guys.
Speaker 2 (28:32):
Manti has been u informed that this is specifically very
challenging for him, so it needs your emotional support.
Speaker 4 (28:38):
Coming from guys. That was more than the button. Mike Y,
I gotta say that was like a Homer Mansai.
Speaker 2 (28:43):
The Broncos and Jaguars are meeting this week, with both
teams leading their division and Denver sits atop the AFC
right now. The last time the Broncos hosted a playoff
game was the twenty fifteen AFC Championship game against the
New England Patriots, which was the final meeting between Peyton
Manning and Tom Brady. The Broncos defeated the Patriots that day,
twenty to eighteen to advance to Super Bowl fifty. Which
(29:04):
players scored the most touchdowns in that AFC Championship game?
Is it a Owen Daniels, b Rob Gronkowski, C Emmanuel
Sanders or D Steven Jackson.
Speaker 6 (29:17):
Owen Daniels tighten, Rob Gronkowsky tighten Menuel Sanders wide.
Speaker 2 (29:21):
Receiver twenty to eighteen was the final scorer and the
Broncos won.
Speaker 6 (29:26):
Broncos want, They're gonna say Broncos won. They want me
to go to Broncos. It has to be a.
Speaker 4 (29:31):
Patriot comes I'm gonna go.
Speaker 2 (29:40):
Don't over complicate it for yourself.
Speaker 4 (29:42):
The over complicated Jamie. Is it Rob Gronkowski, b.
Speaker 3 (29:48):
Jame, No, it's not.
Speaker 1 (29:49):
When you said don't over complicated.
Speaker 2 (29:52):
You immediately over complicated it by going with the losing
team as the one that scores the most. Daniels complicated
first t one as the guy scored the most touchdowns.
Speaker 3 (30:07):
He caught first.
Speaker 2 (30:10):
First half touchdowns a total at two, and it gave
the Broncos the early lead, and those would be the
final touchdowns of Owen Daniels' career, as both he and
Peyton Manning retired as the raigning Super Bowl Chance after
winning Super Bowl fifteen.
Speaker 4 (30:23):
I take you through.
Speaker 1 (30:24):
I remember this, Jamie, go ahead. Manti obviously doesn't. I
was at this game. It was on the first drive
Peyton went down the field that hit Owen Daniels to
set the tone.
Speaker 4 (30:32):
Stephen Jackson was there.
Speaker 1 (30:34):
He was a Patriot at the time, at the end
of his career. But Owen Daniels and then of course
they went on to play the Panthers. Everyone thought the
Panthers with Cam Newton were going to beat them.
Speaker 4 (30:42):
They did not. That's that's it.
Speaker 1 (30:43):
I remember it well. And Manti, Jamie, here's what happened.
Speaker 4 (30:46):
Mike. We told him just get on base.
Speaker 1 (30:48):
Yeah, Mike Kidd a lead off triple and he gets
to third and.
Speaker 4 (30:51):
He's clapping his hands and doing that.
Speaker 1 (30:53):
Type of thing and getting the dug out fired up.
Manti hit a pop fly to the second baseman, and
now I gotta get Mike in.
Speaker 7 (30:59):
I gotta get a mis Stephen Jackson and Rob Gronkowski
scored the touchdowns for.
Speaker 4 (31:04):
The Patrio, so at least they did get it there.
I got two. That's a big question. Kyle.
Speaker 2 (31:08):
GMFB wasn't even on the air in twenty fifteen.
Speaker 3 (31:10):
What were you doing at that game in Denver?
Speaker 4 (31:12):
Yeah? I was working with Jim Rome. Baby, come on right,
I have a LFE. But I was with Roman. I
was working and was working for CBS. We went there.
It was this big deal. I was there. I was
a producer. Off the air.
Speaker 3 (31:21):
That's awesome off the air. Okay, Kyle, you're up, come
on KP.
Speaker 4 (31:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (31:25):
Back in nineteen ninety one, Dave Craig led the Seahawks
to a primetime win against the Rams at the Kingdome
on Sunday Night Football. That same year, Dave Grohl made
his debut as the drummer with the legendary cl grunge
band Nirvana on their second album, so we wasn't around
for the first. This is their second album called never Mind.
In January of ninety two. The album never Mind supplanted
(31:49):
which album for the number one spot on the US
Metal All Right, is it a Dangerous by Michael Jackson?
Speaker 3 (31:58):
He rope in the Wind by.
Speaker 2 (32:00):
Garth Brooks, C to the Extreme by Vanilla Ice, and
d that album by Youtwo Okchung Baby.
Speaker 1 (32:09):
I know it's not c because Vanilla Ice recorded that
in nineteen ninety. He has a lyric that says, eighty
nine was my time, but ninety is my year. So
that's out if we're going to go all the way
to ninety two. Oktun Baby was a massive Garth Brooks
was running the world at that point. And Dangerous by
Michael Jackson. I feel like was bigger in ninety three
than it was in ninety two, So I'm gonna take
(32:30):
that off. So I'm down to either Oktung Baby Mysterious
Ways one or Roping the Wind.
Speaker 7 (32:38):
Which was Octungbaby was definitely ninety one. But this is
January of ninety two, so there's carol.
Speaker 4 (32:42):
All right, listen.
Speaker 1 (32:44):
He was the biggest thing in the world next to
Michael Jackson. I'm going to go with Kurt Cobain here.
We are now entertain us knocking roping the win by
Garth Brooks out of number one? Does Mike Gerfalo score, Kyle?
Speaker 2 (32:58):
Do you know how they score in a baseball score book?
Speaker 3 (33:01):
Differently?
Speaker 2 (33:02):
The looking strikeout versus the swinging strikeout, shutwards k the
backward Yes, my friend, that's a backwards k for you.
You just watched that fastball go right by you. It
is a dangerous It is a dangerous by Michael Jackson.
You never get the years off with the albums.
Speaker 4 (33:19):
This is shocking.
Speaker 1 (33:22):
January, but January throwing because it's almost ninety one.
Speaker 4 (33:27):
All right, I'm not going to complain.
Speaker 2 (33:28):
I struck out the albums with the famous cover of
the Naked Baby swimming after a dollar bill future of
the iconic lead Smells like teen Spirit. That was a
single that became the best selling, one of the best
selling songs of all time.
Speaker 4 (33:40):
All right, Mike, get yourself home.
Speaker 2 (33:43):
Or yeah, Mike, you're gonna have to steal thirty.
Speaker 3 (33:45):
I think you still home?
Speaker 2 (33:47):
Still home?
Speaker 4 (33:49):
Ready? We've got one more?
Speaker 2 (33:50):
Come on, let's go, Philip, Yeah, Philip Rivers will face
the forty nine Ers this week, hoping to earn his
first Monday Night football wins since Week six of twenty thirteen. Coincidentally,
that win came against his current team and in Indianapolis
Folts Manti. You actually had five tackles in this game,
which was a field goal fest, but it did feature
(34:11):
one single touchdowns In the second quarter, down three nothing,
the Chargers had the ball and we're about to enter
the red zone. How was the lone touchdown of this
game scored on this?
Speaker 4 (34:24):
I bet it was Sprolls.
Speaker 2 (34:26):
Is it a Antonio Gates receiving a touchdown?
Speaker 3 (34:30):
Catching a touchdown pass?
Speaker 2 (34:31):
Is it b Danny Woodhead rushing the ball for a touchdown?
See Keenan Allen catching a touchdown pass? Or d Robert
Mathis fumble return for a touchdown?
Speaker 4 (34:42):
Jamie, what year again?
Speaker 3 (34:44):
Twenty thirteen?
Speaker 4 (34:45):
It's my rookie year. Hu was that Danny wood had
in the backfield? Though? And wood Head in the backfield?
Bro Yep, yep, yep?
Speaker 1 (34:52):
That am I going first?
Speaker 4 (34:54):
I think it was.
Speaker 6 (35:00):
I would go see Keenan Allen receiving touchdown on the
back of the end.
Speaker 3 (35:05):
I think you guys want to rely on the guy.
Speaker 1 (35:07):
That was spread it across, spread it across, spread across.
Speaker 4 (35:12):
I'm going to see I'm thinking I'm with MANDI.
Speaker 1 (35:14):
You're gonna go with manti right. I said, we have
to hit a sack fly. We can't because there's two outs.
That doesn't do us any good. We have to get
a hit, all right, Well, you're gonna both go with Keenan.
Come on, Kate, you know what I'm gonna do. You
know what I'm gonna do, Mantile. Because I love you guys,
and I trust you guys, I'm gonna see Keenan. Now
I'm receiving touch on. We're all in together.
Speaker 4 (35:31):
Any one, come on, let's go the pressure, Jamie.
Speaker 2 (35:34):
The only person who can deliver the truth to you
guys is Mike three goo.
Speaker 10 (35:39):
Come on, Mike, come on, Mike, come on, get.
Speaker 7 (35:52):
Yeah, wants to do you believe in miracles?
Speaker 4 (36:01):
I don't believe what I'm just saw. I'm Kurk Gibson.
Speaker 1 (36:07):
Yeah, the tail lights and Chabete Ravine. Oh, come on, Homeso, Wow,
let's go.
Speaker 3 (36:19):
Oh man, whoa, that's fantastic. That's fantastic. You and Hunk
still playing that guy. Funny story.
Speaker 2 (36:29):
A couple of weeks ago, I was driving by the
Chargers facility and I saw a man walking with a
hoodie up outside the fence, like near the entrance, and
I was like, is that Keenan Allen? Like that guy
just walks around and wear like the bolts, like as
if he's just carrying his backpack into where Keenan Allen's
still going after it.
Speaker 3 (36:45):
You and Keenan were.
Speaker 2 (36:46):
Draft mates back in twenty Yes, I'm sure you remember. Yes,
and Philip Rivers somehow was thirty one years old in
that game. And here we still are talking about Rivers
this weekend, the lock gots, the games and the matchups
this weekend.
Speaker 3 (36:59):
That was risky, you guys, but you went with it.
Speaker 2 (37:01):
That was a seeing Ice single up the middle to
score Mike your follow that.
Speaker 4 (37:06):
I thought this was going to Gates for sure.
Speaker 2 (37:08):
Yeah, yeah, fantastic.
Speaker 3 (37:13):
Well no, never for all.
Speaker 4 (37:14):
Of us to be on the same base.
Speaker 2 (37:16):
Oh my god, you did not like bat lead off.
Speaker 4 (37:18):
I did not. I did not. That was World Series
