more to prove? Justin Fields or Russell Wilson. Who are
you more interested in?

Speaker 4 (00:31):
Right now?

Speaker 1 (00:31):
The Steelers are the Browns and something involving bacon. Plus
it's at the top of our one that I got
to text about one of our personal appearances, and I'm
going to reveal that in just a matter of seconds.

Speaker 5 (00:40):
So let's start the show.

Speaker 4 (00:56):
Good Morning Football.

Speaker 2 (00:58):
Welcome in, everybody, Come sit down with us, get your coffee,
get your breakfast sandwiches. Kyle, you've made us wait an
entire hour at this point for the teas that.

Speaker 3 (01:09):
You gave us.

Speaker 2 (01:09):
And also, by the way, speaking of appearances, I just
noticed your watch and I love it. It's so fun.
It's neon colored. Can you show everyone.

Speaker 4 (01:16):
Real quick watch?

Speaker 1 (01:17):
Yeah, it's a swatchwatch. It's great, I said sixty bucks
or something like that.

Speaker 4 (01:21):
I love it. Get compliments all the time, So.

Speaker 1 (01:23):
All you guys out there with your Pteca felipas and
roll left, whatever the hell they're calling.

Speaker 4 (01:27):
All the time I get stopped down the.

Speaker 1 (01:28):
Street to look at this piece of junk from the
eighties pa plus. But more importantly, last night, last evening,
it's about seven thirty in the brant House. Difficult time,
post dinner, pre bedtime for the kids. I'm trying to
prepare for the show. Of course, don't bring it up yet.
I get a text from a friend, like a friend
of mine in town. I don't text with this person

(01:49):
a ton, but this person felt so strongly about what
he needed to communicate in this text.

Speaker 4 (01:55):
He's like, I need to text Kyle this.

Speaker 1 (01:57):
And before we bring it up, Mansi Tale, I want
you to read the text from my friend Peter. It's
not Peter Schrager, by the way, it's a different Peter.
Bring up the text and I want Manti Tao to
read it on live television.

Speaker 6 (02:09):
Go no, I was just laughing and watching a show
from this morning. How small Teo's arms makes your.

Speaker 4 (02:18):
Hello? Hell?

Speaker 6 (02:20):
And that what six to seven years since he stopped playing, but.

Speaker 2 (02:25):
His arms just kept growing.

Speaker 4 (02:27):
Love it. I need that on a Wednesday night.

Speaker 1 (02:31):
Again, I'm not in constant communication with this person. It's
just a friend, and he's like, I have to where's
Kyle's number? His arms look so small next to tales.
I need to make sure he knows that it's an
unbelievable text.

Speaker 4 (02:44):
Aget, what are you used? Your your response to it?

Speaker 3 (02:46):
Well, so, first of all, I don't know who this
Peter is.

Speaker 4 (02:48):
He's a great guy. I love Peter.

Speaker 3 (02:50):
Yeah, but like the grammar was terrible. It didn't even
how small tales arms make sures look like you're right?
I had to read it three times.

Speaker 4 (03:00):
Okay, there it is.

Speaker 3 (03:01):
What this should how small tale are make yours look
exclamation point?

Speaker 4 (03:07):
Then a lo ol?

Speaker 3 (03:09):
Who still does the ol?

Speaker 4 (03:11):
KP show them show up me on baby, I'm.

Speaker 1 (03:14):
Not shown, So I'm not doing anything. I'm gonna get
fifty more texts. Mantie, You're great. I love it, you
look incredible. I just I don't know if you necessarily
need to objectify people on television.

Speaker 4 (03:24):
I don't know that. I just see people.

Speaker 1 (03:27):
I don't see body parts and all that nonsense. And
so Peter, I love that you're watching Go Cowboys, and
I'm now motivated. I'm gonna be on the Preacher card
later today and maybe in steroids.

Speaker 4 (03:38):
I don't take whatever it's gonna take for.

Speaker 1 (03:40):
Me to catch even in the same world as Manti.

Speaker 2 (03:42):
Can you believe that he's on Amazon getting Creantine right now?

Speaker 4 (03:46):
Wow? Here, it's gonna take a lot more than that.
All right, let's get to the links for watching. Let's go.

Speaker 2 (03:53):
All right, We're gonna do a little throa down Thursday, everybody.
Let's start with our first one.

Speaker 4 (03:59):
Here.

Speaker 2 (04:00):
We have two former Steelers quarterbacks now both in New
York City. Which New New York quarterback has more to
prove the Jets Justin Fields or the Giants Russell Wilson
and who had bigger biser question?

Speaker 1 (04:14):
Yeah, well probably Fields. I don't know if that's close.
We can do that different segment. I feel so much
different about this conversation before the draft, because there was
murmurs that maybe this is Russ's job and it's his thing.
It's like, well, now there's this first round rookie in
the room. So the answer to the question who has
more to prove?

Speaker 4 (04:33):
I think it's Fields.

Speaker 1 (04:34):
I feel like last year was Russell Wilson's year to
prove it's in the wake of the Denver disaster. He
came in, he did have a really good run before
it fell apart. And now I feel like we're kind
of maybe at peace a little bit with Russell Wilson
about what he is and what he isn't. We still
don't know what Justin Fields what he is and what
he isn't. Honestly, the whole Chicago thing in Pittsburgh also, like,
I still think it's Fields. He's much younger, he's played

(04:57):
far less football, and I still think he is more
of an untapped deal.

Speaker 4 (05:01):
But this is it.

Speaker 1 (05:03):
If the Jets thing doesn't work it out, this is
really You're gonna be your final shot as a starter,
I think.

Speaker 3 (05:07):
So my answer is Fields totally agree. It's gotta be Fields, right,
I mean, Russell Wilson, this guy is a Super Bowl champ.
What's he made like two hundred million dollars at this point.
He's made an absolute ton of money. He's on the
down side. We all get that. But Wilson at least
has some pelts on the wall. He's been there, done that.

(05:31):
Justin Fields is zero for two. Okay, Chicago and Pittsburgh improving,
he's even an average starting quarterback in the NFL. He
has a chance to be Oh for three. Not many
people get three chances to show that they can't be
a starting quarterback in the NFL on a consistent basis.
It's easily fields And think about this for a second.

(05:54):
If you're a Jets fan, there is a distinct possibility
that there will be four starting quarterbacks in the NFL. Yes,
former jetsquarterbacks starting for other teams listen better better than
the Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers in Pittsburgh, which is gonna happen,
Gino Smith with the Raiders, Sam Darnold with the Seahawks,

(06:16):
and Joe Flacco maybe in Cleveland. So there's a chance
Week two that Jets fans watch field to have a
bad game. Then they turn on the red zone and
there's four other Jets quarterbacks all playing better than their guy.
That should be impossible, but that might be the situation.

Speaker 1 (06:35):
And I gotta tell you there's a one bad injury
I hope doesn't happen in Miami from keeping Zach Wilson
on the field too. You know, I'm like, there's all
could be five.

Speaker 4 (06:42):
It could be five. Man, matt Ty, get in here, kV.

Speaker 6 (06:44):
You're gonna be proud of me. We don't like going
three for three in this segment. We don't like going
three for three in other segments. So I'm gonna zig
when everybody goes zag.

Speaker 4 (06:51):
Yeah something, there's something, guys. This is all I love
about our show.

Speaker 6 (06:54):
A lot of people, everybody else comes to the show
to learn about football.

Speaker 4 (06:56):
I come to this show to learn some grammar.

Speaker 6 (06:58):
And I got two of my Princeton brothers over there
in New York. Ross is talking about costs benefit analysis.
I did some grammar research, k and this is how
it relates to Russell Wilson or Justin Fields. When I
look back at the twenty twenty four season for the
both of them, Russell's Wilson's twenty four season ended in
and correct me if I'm wrong, Guys, if I pronounce
this wrong. An ellipsis What is an ellipsis? There's three periods,

(07:22):
and I looked at the definition of it and it
says can't be used to depict uncertainty. After the twenty
twenty fourth season, there's a lot of uncertainty as to
what Russell Wilson's future looks like compared to Justin Fields,
which his season ended in the M dash. Now what's
an M dash? An M dash are three hyphens usually

(07:44):
depicted to represent when the.

Speaker 4 (07:45):
Narrative is cut short. That is how I.

Speaker 6 (07:48):
See Justin fields twenty twenty four season compared to Russell Wilson's.
The Giants did draft the quarterback in the first round,
whereas the Browns.

Speaker 4 (07:57):
Didn't draft the quarterback at all. So there's anybody that
needs to prove.

Speaker 6 (08:02):
Themselves to me, has got to be Russell Wilson. I
think Justin Field is in a great situation. And again,
his twenty twenty four season did end an M dash,
whereas Russell Wilson it did lov an M bash.

Speaker 2 (08:15):
It's so underrated. Also, these two quarterbacks are ten years apart.
Justin Fields is twenty six years old, Russell Wilson is
thirty six years old. Right now he's playing for legacy,
whereas Justin Fields. I mean he's unproven at this point,
like you were saying, Kyle, and we'll have to see
where he takes this, because it really is at this
point he could go anywhere, has high potential. Let's go

(08:37):
to our second one ready to AFC nor teams that
don't know who their quarterback.

Speaker 4 (08:44):
Is, what their situation is.

Speaker 2 (08:46):
Who are you more interested in the Steelers or the Browns.

Speaker 4 (08:50):
I was going to say the Giants.

Speaker 1 (08:53):
I like the Giants room by far. It's the I mean,
it's the Browns, right, like the Browns. I'm I'm trying
not to be insensitive. That's one of the weirdest rooms ever. Like,
So if you just that's the rundown you have. Not
only do you have two rookie quarterbacks, you have one
of the most polarizing and reactive rookie quarterbacks in NFL history.

(09:14):
Then you've got just like the everyman who's Kenny Pickett,
who has a lot of starting experience and as a
Super Bowl ring and all that. That's your room, right, No,
then you have a forty one year old Joe Flacco
on his eighth team and eight years who is in
his own way like this Rooster Cogburn legend, who's like
one last job.

Speaker 4 (09:33):
I'm here. I have no idea what that room is.

Speaker 1 (09:35):
I don't know what the depth chart is, I don't
know who the reps are at RUSS.

Speaker 4 (09:40):
Let me ask you sometimes, is.

Speaker 1 (09:41):
Shoudr Sanders is definitely gonna make this team. He's the
fourth quarterback.

Speaker 3 (09:44):
Right, He's gonna make this Why because a fifth round pick? Yeah,
because they want to see what they have in him.

Speaker 1 (09:50):
So seeing training camp they got three other quarterbacks, it's
definitely gonna be like, there's a chance you could not
make the team.

Speaker 3 (09:55):
They're gonna end up trading Flaco or Picket.

Speaker 4 (09:58):
Which one Picket probably? Right? Why would they bring in
Flaco on the trade. I'm like, yeah, probably Picket.

Speaker 3 (10:02):
Interesting, but they might wait till some team has injury
and needs a quality backup. They'll trade one of those guys.

Speaker 1 (10:07):
Also Pick It might be much better than Sanduur, But
I don't right, But I don't understand.

Speaker 3 (10:11):
If you're the Browns, why would you even play Picket
or Flacco this year? Like the Browns aren't going to
the playoffs, right, I think they might?

Speaker 4 (10:19):
Who know, it's not the flack of last time. Yeah, no,
they're not.

Speaker 3 (10:21):
So I think they should play Dylan Gabriel and Chador
Sanders and see if either one of those guys can
be the starting quarterback moving forward, because if they're not,
the Browns have those two first round picks next year
to draft arch Manning or nuss Meyer or Drew Aller,
whoever they want next year. To me, this year should
be about what do you have in Dylan Gabriel on

(10:43):
Shador Sanders, I think it's unlikely that they would make
the playoffs. And by the way, just based on like
the Travis Hunter trade, the Browns are building for twenty
twenty six.

Speaker 4 (10:54):
They're making moves.

Speaker 3 (10:55):
Check with twenty twenty six in mind.

Speaker 6 (10:58):
What do you think Manti Book I have a little
argument with with Ross about the whole.

Speaker 4 (11:04):
Joe Blacko thing because Joe Flacco after Week thirteen.

Speaker 6 (11:09):
Joe Flacco joined the Browns and he went four and
one as their quarterback, so he's well, he's very familiar
with the Cleveland Browns and they're really familiar with him. Now,
Kenny Pickett, you think about the two the Browns are
the Steelers. I think right now the Steelers quarterback room
would be for Kenny Pickett if Kenny Pickett was in there,
based on what they have right now, even though they
did draft him, I just think he's He's better than

(11:31):
the three that you have right now. You're in a
better situation Kenny Pickett is there rather than in Cleveland
and there's just more to talk about. You know, we
could look at the two rookies with Dylan Gabriel and
Shadua Sanders in that battle.

Speaker 4 (11:41):
But I see where you're going with that. Ross.

Speaker 6 (11:44):
I do think it should come down to the two rookies.
But Joe Flacco has proven himself for the Cleveland Browns
two years ago when he did go four and one
for him.

Speaker 4 (11:53):
So it's going to be something that I.

Speaker 6 (11:54):
Like to monitor, and I know that I think we're
all going to be kind of tuned into that whole
thing too.

Speaker 4 (12:00):
Well.

Speaker 3 (12:00):
You know what the answer isn't Okay, The answer isn't
the Pittsburgh Steelers. I am disinterested in the Pittsburgh Steelers quarterbacks.

Speaker 4 (12:09):
It is Rogers.

Speaker 3 (12:09):
I am sick of it. I'm bored with it. I
don't want to talk about it. I just want the guy.
I can't wait until he actually says Aaron Rodgers he's
playing for the Steelers, and then we all find out
what he was waiting for. I guess he said that
he's stuff in his family circle whatever. But the question
is what's the more interesting quarterback situation? The Steelers isn't

(12:31):
interesting at all? The Steelers is annoying, boring, interesting is
not a word I would usually describe the Steelers quarterback
situation right now.

Speaker 2 (12:40):
I mean, when was the last time that we weren't
interested or captivated or talking about the Browns quarterback situation?
I feel like it has been. When was the last
time there was stability in the quarterback room at Cleveland?
I don't even know. I guess Baker Mayfield for a second,
but you would have to go back and years and
years and years what Bernie Cosar like. I'm not even

(13:03):
sure when the last time? So twas ever, thus the
Browns quarterback situation, and now the Steelers join them in
that purgatory. All right, Yesterday we got Ross's attention by
bringing up some breakfast sandwiches.

Speaker 1 (13:17):
Well, somebody tell this guy Ross at the Jersey Shore
we eat pork rolllegg and cheese.

Speaker 4 (13:21):
Your response, pork roll.

Speaker 3 (13:23):
Is actually delicious, And my brother in law and sister
in law that's all they get is pork rolled, egg
and cheese. It's a little too salty. More towards the sausage,
egg and cheese.

Speaker 1 (13:36):
We'll say this guy Ross sooner, mean, Johnny coyleen, what
do you think?

Speaker 2 (13:39):
Come on, you can take the sodium. Gonna know you
were such a delicate flower. Pork roll is amazing. What
about scrapple? Scrapples even better than pork roll. You gotta
get your yeah, scrap scrap.

Speaker 3 (13:51):
We gotta talk about scrapple.

Speaker 2 (13:54):
It's like spam but better.

Speaker 3 (13:57):
Scrapple is God's meat.

Speaker 4 (14:02):
That's what everybody says.

Speaker 2 (14:04):
That's Scrapple's tagline, God's meet. If you're not familiar, it
is essentially like scrapple.

Speaker 4 (14:09):
It's the scraps of a.

Speaker 2 (14:11):
Pig and it's in a mush patty and it's delightful
and delicious. And Ross knows all about it. So what
does the superior breakfast meat? Bacon or the field or scrapple?

Speaker 4 (14:26):
Who's up first? Six Ross? Ross? She gets to go first?

Speaker 3 (14:28):
All right, I'm going first. It is easily the field.
Real Okay, Yeah, this is going to be controversial, and
I hope this doesn't make anybody really upset with me.
I think bacon's a little overrated.

Speaker 4 (14:40):
Talk about it.

Speaker 3 (14:41):
Okay, listen, I love bacon. Okay, I love bacon, but
bacon has to be cooked perfectly. You know, I'm at
a lot of hotels I'm at a lot of breakfast buffets.
I destroy breakfast bushings. Okay, half the time or third
of the time, the bacon is so crispy and so

(15:02):
hard that it like falls apart when you're trying to
eat it. The other third of the time, it's undercooked
and it's like fatty and chewy. Bacon needs to be
cooked perfectly to be stellar the way we all like it. Meanwhile,
the field breakfast ham is highly underrated. I love sausage

(15:23):
and scrapple. I talked about this yesterday. I was two
fifty eight at the end of my freshman football season.

Speaker 4 (15:31):
I went home for Christmas break.

Speaker 3 (15:33):
We got a keg of yingling every night, went to
the diner at two am. I got ham and cheese, omelet,
stack of pancakes, chocolate milkshake, side of scrapple. I went
back to Princeton during Christmas break to eighty four. Okay,
put the Desmond Watson thing up. I gained twenty six

(15:54):
pounds during Christmas break. Our coaches were like, what did
you do? And I said, I don't know. Had an
amazing time. That's when they first got the idea to
move me to offensive line from me I was at
d N and they said, listen, you'll start either way,
but you could really be something on the offensive line.
So any kids out there watching, Okay, the key to

(16:17):
making the NFL okay, I can't say the keg yanngling
because you're not twenty one, but I guess I wasn't either,
But okay, uh, the key to make an NFL okay
is a keggy yngling and then going the diner at
two am and having scrapple. If you want to make
the NFL, these are the things you have to be
willing to do.

Speaker 4 (16:35):
It's a great monologue's more like a sermon.

Speaker 1 (16:38):
And I was there for some of that, those yngling
kegs and those pancakes and stuff.

Speaker 4 (16:41):
It's incredible.

Speaker 1 (16:43):
For the sake of this conversation, I'm just gonna go bacon.
It's a one seed, all right, like it's and I
understand there is this huge spectrum how the bacon can
be cooked and for the crispy and the undercooked if
you get it in that stupid serving trade at the buffet.
They make two hundred ships of bacon at a time,
and some of them are disgusting, but nothing tastes worse

(17:03):
with bacon in it. I'll just say they're not making
it like that. That's a cast iron skillet and your
grandmother's house four strips at a time. It doesn't look
anything like that, all right, I will just say bacon
for the sake that it makes everything better. It is
an elevator, It is a glue. Guy, it is a
star all in one. I'll just say that for the
sake of conversation, because I have a feeling that Mantitao
is gonna zag.

Speaker 4 (17:24):
Yes, I'm gonna zag. Did you say scrapple is what
that gods gods met?

Speaker 6 (17:29):
Yeah, gods, because you know it's God's meat, guys as spam, Okay,
spam is something that we grow. You know, you have
all the different cuts of steak.

Speaker 4 (17:38):
You got tenderloin.

Speaker 6 (17:39):
What spam is the freaking prime rib like it is
a krem Dela creme of all breakfast meat. So I
don't know what scrapple. I've never had scrapple. I've had bacon,
and I agree with Ross. I'm bacon like. You have
to cook that thing perfectly. Some people are now they're
baking it now. I was seeing guy who boiled get
that out of there. Put the spam, slice that thing up,

(18:00):
put it in the skillet, Flip that thing over.

Speaker 4 (18:02):
After three minutes you can you can eat that thing
with anything. It'll be good.

Speaker 1 (18:07):
You know what sucks Manti is that spam has branding
issues in the sense that when I think of spam,
I think of the annoying folder in my email that
has Sialis offers fifty thousand of them a day. Like,
that's spam to me. You know, I don't want to
eat that. It's on appetizing. What do you got to say?
All right, so I have a spam story. Okay, my grandfather.
All right, my grandfather was a captain in the US Army.

(18:30):
Pop yeah, pop up, pop up bachman. Okay, So what that.

Speaker 3 (18:33):
Meant is any food on your plate, you had to
eat all of it.

Speaker 4 (18:39):
Okay, That's how I grew up.

Speaker 3 (18:40):
It's a whole issue with my wife and I because
I want to raise our kids that way.

Speaker 4 (18:44):
They're girls.

Speaker 3 (18:44):
My wife's like, no, you can't force them to eat
stuff that's not helping anyway. I'm like eight years old,
my grandma, my mom, and pop up. They give me
a plate, eggs and spam. I'm trying to eat the spam.

Speaker 4 (18:58):
Manti. That's tough as gross. It is disgusting.

Speaker 3 (19:03):
It is disgusting, okay, And I can't eat it, all right,
I can't eat it. And my pop up is like,
you're not getting out of there until you eat all that.

Speaker 4 (19:12):
And I'm like, I can't eat it.

Speaker 3 (19:13):
My mom is there and she's looking at me, and
I'm like about to cry. I'm eight years old, and
this was like the only showdown I remember between the generations,
my grandmama and grandpa, my pop up, my mom, and
my mom and they were like, he's eating that, and
She's like, they're not. I'll never forget. My mom's like,

(19:34):
let's go, we're leaving. I got up from the table.
We get in the car, she drives the Boss Cobs okay.
She goes through a payphone. She calls my aunt Debbie.
She's crying because she just got in a fight with
her mom and dad. She gets back in the car
and she says, why couldn't you just eat this van?

Speaker 4 (19:51):
Why couldn't you see it?

Speaker 1 (19:52):
Rossock? Have you ever called the game in my Hawaii?
You ever going to Hawaiian? Yes?

Speaker 4 (19:57):
Really, I don't think you ever will again. You just
declared war. He's coming after Macedamian nuts.

Speaker 1 (20:03):
Next, He's coming after all all that wonderful things there
on the island.

Speaker 2 (20:06):
I'm telling you, Ross, I think that we are related.
I think we actually have the same exact family. I
have an aunt Debbie, two my mom.

Speaker 3 (20:13):
I'm a pop up.

Speaker 7 (20:14):
Like.

Speaker 2 (20:14):
I used to have two dinners every single night, and
I would have to finish both of them because I
would have my mom which she cooked, and then my
friend Talia's mom would make me dinner too. However, my
pop up would have with me and my dad for breakfast.
The actual answer to this question, the best breakfast meat
is chip beef on toast. I don't know if you

(20:36):
guys have had that.

Speaker 5 (20:37):
But it is.

Speaker 2 (20:37):
It is delightful. You don't know cream chip beef on toast.
Oh my god, go on to the bar. Thanksgiving Eve,
you come home at two am. My dad and I
are making cream chip beef.

Speaker 4 (20:47):
It's awesome.

Speaker 2 (20:47):
It's like salted dried beef in like these compressed packets,
and then you make the It's like flour and butter
and all sorts of delicious.

Speaker 3 (20:59):
It's debatable if it's a breakfast meat, but it's delicious.

Speaker 4 (21:02):
It is a meat. Well we should beef.

Speaker 1 (21:04):
We uh it's Colleen as social media has thoughts in
real time about the segments.

Speaker 4 (21:08):
Bring it up. What do we got?

Speaker 1 (21:10):
I'm watching the show from London, England. How can the
nation that eats grits moan about crispy bacon? That's true,
John Milner, mister one long from London.

Speaker 4 (21:18):
I like it.

Speaker 2 (21:19):
Grits are incredible.

Speaker 4 (21:21):
What a weird thing? Are you a smoker?

Speaker 8 (21:22):
So John?

Speaker 4 (21:23):
That sounds for bid? Bro Oh my god, I question, Yeah,
I did too. What I handle? How is that not
taking it?

Speaker 2 (21:32):
I am starving at this point. I'm going to need
maybe we do a taste test at some point, but
you know we.

Speaker 4 (21:38):
Will do next.

Speaker 2 (21:38):
It's May Day, guys, so Mantai is going to help
us celebrate. He's going to tell us a little bit
about it and maybe what we've been missing this whole time.

Speaker 7 (21:52):
You know, I'm here today because of the Polynesian players
that came before me. You know, at the end of
the day day they laid the foundation and set the
presidents for me to be where I am today, for
me to be successful in this game. So you know,
at the end the day, I'm reflecting that all the
people who came before me. So I mean as a
proud honor. I mean I said on this days like man,

(22:12):
I'm just trying to make the polonies and people proud.
And you know, I'm happy that I can be a
reflection of our culture.

Speaker 4 (22:21):
My hot title.

Speaker 6 (22:22):
For the example you said on draft night, and for
representing the Polynesian culture.

Speaker 4 (22:27):
With humility, love and respect. Then you're right. It's time
we bring others into our culture.

Speaker 6 (22:32):
And I couldn't think of a better time to do
it than today. You see, today it's May first, and
every year on this day in Hawaii we celebrate May Day,
or sometimes referred to as Lay Day. It is a
day where we celebrate culture, family, and the lost spirit.
And in the world that often tries to highlight what
makes us different, we as Polynesian people want to celebrate

(22:55):
what makes us the same. So in the spirit of
May Day, we have five Lay's that we want to
give the five men that have exemplified the love of
culture and the impact that they have had on their
teammates and everyone around them. Maxwell Harriston was drafted thirtieth
overall to the Buffalo Bills, but you could have thought

(23:16):
that he was drafted earlier by the way he celebrated
the previous twenty nine picks. The DV for Kentucky showed
that a lost spirit and everything.

Speaker 4 (23:25):
That he did.

Speaker 6 (23:25):
The Polynesian culture is about celebrating the achievements of those
around you, even when the spotlight is on them and
not you. Maxwell Harriston, Today, on May Day, we celebrate you.
Twenty twenty four was a magical year for Saquon Barkley.
Not only did he win his first Super Bowl in

(23:47):
his first year with the Philadelphia Eagles, but he also
came within one hundred and one yards of breaking Eric
Dirkison's single season rushing record. However, there were times when
Saquon chose to put his teammates go his team's goals
over his own.

Speaker 4 (24:03):
Let's take a listen ten yards away from your career, Hi,
I would love for you to get that, but that's
up to you.

Speaker 9 (24:09):
I don't I doesn't want like I'm going to take
out all the starters if they don't school let me sure.

Speaker 4 (24:14):
Yeah, good, I promise. I I want you to do
what if you want to do so? I rather see
the young boys e.

Speaker 6 (24:23):
Nothing epitomizes the law of spirit more than someone who
is willing to sacrifice his own achievements to give those
around him a chance to shine. I know you got
yourself a Super Bowl ring that you can add a
lay to your collection. In every family, there is a
family member that the whole family points to as a

(24:45):
reference to what it means to be a part of
that family. George Kittle has been that reference for the
San Francisco forty nine ers in his eight years as
a forty nine er. George's impact cannot only be seen,
but heard and definitely feel.

Speaker 4 (25:00):
Let's take a look.

Speaker 3 (25:03):
I love the nine or if this is really claude, Hey,
it's my day.

Speaker 4 (25:08):
You have to wait for me.

Speaker 3 (25:09):
I love football.

Speaker 4 (25:11):
Look at it? He just did that? Do us sky?
You're gonna go have fun now? Yes?

Speaker 3 (25:16):
Right?

Speaker 4 (25:17):
Why are you calling me around? Is it because I'm cute?
I thought so? He will probably there. I'm a complete cycle.
You don't go dwelly? Do you understand me for what
I am? You don't? Okay?

Speaker 6 (25:30):
Hey?

Speaker 4 (25:30):
How you doing?

Speaker 8 (25:31):
Every line?

Speaker 4 (25:34):
You see?

Speaker 6 (25:35):
When culture is seen, heard, and felt the way that
George has done it, it becomes contagious and affects everyone
around you. Yes, we know you love football, George, and
football loves you. Talking about someone that can be seen,
heard and felt. Dan Campbell has been the epitome of

(25:56):
what it means to be a leader of men. In
just four years, he has turned a franchise that hadn't
won a playoff game since nineteen ninety one into one
of the best franchises in the NFL.

Speaker 4 (26:09):
This is what it's all about.

Speaker 9 (26:10):
This is why you're in his profession. Man.

Speaker 4 (26:12):
This is as good as it gets. I just want
to play.

Speaker 9 (26:16):
When you have talented football players and they are made
of the right kind of stuff, you have a collective
wheel power that you can make the game anyway you
wanted to go out of bought Dars, get his ass, Dars,
got it, Dawn. They freaking came out and they fought us,
but we fought harder Division winners back to back seasons and.

Speaker 8 (26:38):
The number one season.

Speaker 6 (26:42):
I was with the New Orleans Saints from twenty seventeen
to twenty nineteen. Dan Campbell was a tight ends coach
there during that time. My second year, however, I experienced
what some would call the politics of the NFL. I
was demoted to the scout team, but there were a
few times when Dan Campbell would come up to me
and tell me how much.

Speaker 4 (27:00):
He believed in me.

Speaker 6 (27:01):
He didn't have to do that, but I am forever
grateful that he did. Our last recipient of our GMFBT
May Day, Lay Day, goes to a coach that caused
that stadium right over there home. Matter of fact, he
won a Super Bowl there just four years ago. Let's
take a trip back to that year and hear what
makes Sean McVay such a special coach?

Speaker 4 (27:24):
What else did you want? What else did you want?

Speaker 5 (27:27):
I know, let's go.

Speaker 3 (27:29):
Let's go ahead, Aaron, this is the moment right now.

Speaker 8 (27:32):
With a world championship right here, hern de I, I
knew they, Hey, Aaron, Hi you hi.

Speaker 2 (27:57):
Hi?

Speaker 8 (27:57):
I knew world tail.

Speaker 6 (28:11):
A good leader is someone who makes you believe in them.
A great leader is someone who makes you believe in yourself.
That pretty much sums up Sew McVay. Well, that concludes
all this year's GMFB May Day. But before I go,
I got one more lay I have to give Colleen
Oh for me.

Speaker 4 (28:31):
That's great. Thank you so much.

Speaker 2 (28:33):
It's an honor to get laid this early in the
morning on national television.

Speaker 4 (28:39):
Thank you. You know it's the same.

Speaker 2 (28:40):
We don't have one for our delicate flower ross but uh.

Speaker 4 (28:44):
Oh wait, you are wearing ones we do. Oh oh yeah,
and this is real.

Speaker 3 (28:48):
Yeah, it's so nice.

Speaker 2 (28:51):
Okay, fancy.

Speaker 4 (28:54):
That was a wonderful segment.

Speaker 1 (28:56):
I feel relaxed, I feel inspired.

Speaker 4 (28:59):
Don't you feel great?

Speaker 3 (29:00):
I want to like convert can you convert ethnicities?

Speaker 6 (29:07):
Nice?

Speaker 2 (29:08):
Yeah, I feel like I'm in forgetting Sarah Marshall at
this point. This is lovely you guys, all right, we
have more GMFB coming up, but I feel like we're
going to just take a spaw moment for ourselves and
maybe you do the same. And we're back here on

(29:28):
Good Morning Football and quarterback is king.

Speaker 4 (29:31):
In the NFL.

Speaker 2 (29:32):
I kind of feel like a queen right now.

Speaker 4 (29:33):
So we're just going to keep.

Speaker 2 (29:34):
On talking about quarterbacks.

Speaker 4 (29:35):
In a segment we.

Speaker 2 (29:36):
Are calling three step drop, So we've got three quarterback
themed questions. And first up, everybody, get ready. The quarterback
you're rooting for the most this season is Manti.

Speaker 4 (29:48):
I'm rooting for this guy a lot.

Speaker 6 (29:50):
I'm rooting for this guy because I thought that leading
up to the draft, and then after the draft, there
was a lot of clips of this guy named Tyler Shuk,
and it was the only clips that the media was
showing was that little crazy pass that he did during
the combine. I don't know if you saw it, calling
he kind of went and I don't know what he
was trying to do, but it wasn't a good one.
But they kept just playing like all of his bad throws,

(30:13):
and he showed a game clip where he just tosses
the ball up and gets an interception. But I remember
watching Tyler Shuck Okay played for Louisville. They played Notre
Dame at Notre Dame, and I remember watching this guy
make a throw that I swear he was off his
back foot like almost Steph Curry type, and just zip
this ball side armed like Patrick Mahomes to a receiver

(30:35):
and the receiver caught the ball in the back of
the end zone.

Speaker 4 (30:38):
So I just thought that it was very It was
very weird.

Speaker 6 (30:41):
How the the guys tended to play like all of
his bad.

Speaker 2 (30:44):
Throats, but like a smear campaign.

Speaker 4 (30:48):
No, not conspiracy, not a smear. It was just there
was a narrative that was out there that.

Speaker 6 (30:52):
They were trying to fit and it was show the
guy that the good good. The clips of this guy,
So I'm definitely rooting for for a tight of shot.

Speaker 3 (30:59):
All Right, Ross, easy question, easy answer for me. I'm
rooting for Josh Allen because I'm rooting for the Buffalo Bills,
my favorite team of the five I played for, because
I'm rooting for the people of Western New York. But
I'm rooting for Bill's mafia, if not now, when it's

(31:20):
got to be their time, their turn at some point. Plus, Josh,
if you've ever been around him, is an awesome guy.
He could be the answer to the next question too.
I am rooting for Josh Allen because I'm rooting for
the Buffalo Bills to get to the Super Bowl and
win the first Super Bowl in franchise history. They're good enough,

(31:42):
they deserve it, Josh deserves it. I'm rooting for Josh
Allen and the Buffalo Bill God bless you.

Speaker 4 (31:47):
I can't argue with that. Answered the raining MVPM of listen.

Speaker 1 (31:49):
To that, but I'm actually gonna go with one of
their rivals. I'm ready for Justin Fields for a bunch
of different reasons, not only because I like the way
he handles his business, where he keeps his mouth shut,
he plays hard, he takes tons of hits, he runs,
he throws.

Speaker 4 (32:01):
He's got a new chance with the Jets.

Speaker 1 (32:02):
But on a selfish level, do you understand that at
Good Morning Football? We have been a program since the
Year of Our Lord twenty sixteen. Do you know how
hard it is to do a show from New York
when the Jets always suck? There's nothing to talk about.
They're never good. Since we have started as a show,
the Jets have been five and eleven, five and eleven,
four and twelve, seven and nine, two and fourteen, four

(32:22):
and thirteen, seven and ten, Rogers' series hurt seven and ten.
Rodgers is healthy five and twelve. They're never even close torrelevant,
and the Giants are also usually terrible. So I would
like to see Justin Fields break that cycle, even though
we don't have.

Speaker 4 (32:34):
Any videotape of him. I would say Justin.

Speaker 2 (32:35):
Fields, now, that is fantastic. By the way, I would say,
Joe Burrow, come on, he was robbed of a season,
he was robbed in his personal life, and honestly, we
were all robbed that we didn't get to see the
full Bengals offense on I mean, like, I feel like
so many things happened to them and nothing broke their way.
I feel like this year it's going to be Joe
Burrow's year. Okay, how about this. The quarterback that you

(32:56):
would have wanted to be roommates with in college is.

Speaker 6 (33:00):
Well, I've been kind of jealous of Ross and Kb's
little dynamic they got over there.

Speaker 4 (33:04):
You could tell that at all. I'm you know what
I mean. They tell that they're really good friends.

Speaker 6 (33:08):
And the stories about remember when this happened, the guy
that if he was here's a roommate of mine, the
guy that I know, and obviously this, this is pretty obvious,
is Tool.

Speaker 4 (33:15):
If I was a roommate with Tool, Tungo by.

Speaker 6 (33:18):
Law, Guys, there'll be a lot of guitar.

Speaker 4 (33:20):
Playing, a lot of a lot of good food. Ross.

Speaker 6 (33:24):
Matter of fact, you would love to be in that
dorm with us too, because there's gonna be a lot
of food. There won't be some spam because he and
I both love spam.

Speaker 4 (33:30):
But this is a little brother of mine and we're very,
very close.

Speaker 6 (33:34):
I'm always going to root for him, and if I
had the opportunity to be his roommate, man, there'll be
so many great memories with them. We're singing songs, talking
about football, talking about live talk.

Speaker 4 (33:43):
About his kids, his parents, whatever you want to.

Speaker 6 (33:46):
Oh, so Sol can play.

Speaker 4 (33:49):
Now we can play and he can sing. Yeah. So
we just had everything Johnson collapse.

Speaker 2 (33:55):
Who knows what's gonna happen?

Speaker 4 (33:56):
Ross. I like the.

Speaker 3 (33:59):
Tua answer because I am all in on the pig
ROAs in Hawaii that marinated pork. It's so good. I
did two Hawaii games last year. All right, my answer again,
this is simple.

Speaker 4 (34:12):
Joe Burrow. Okay, it's Joe Burrow. All right, Okay, a
few reasons.

Speaker 3 (34:16):
Number one, remember when he won the national championship at LSU.
L should be a fun school to go to. And
he's smoking the cigar and he's laid back and he's
so chill. Can you imagine what Joe Burrow's parties were
like in college at LSU when he's winning the Heisman
in the national championship. Sign me up for being his
roommate during that time.

Speaker 4 (34:38):
Absolutely love that.

Speaker 3 (34:39):
Then how about last weekend? You see the video on
Friday when they drafted Shamar Stewart in the first round.
He came to the Bengals facility the next day and
he meets Joe Burrow. Okay, Joe Burrow. It's Friday afternoon.
The first round picks there. Joe Burrow is holding a
beer and he's drinking a beer in the Bengals facility

(35:02):
on a Friday afternoon. I've ever seen that before. That's amazing.

Speaker 4 (35:06):
That's true.

Speaker 3 (35:07):
He meets the guy and he says, I'm Joe, by
the way. Then he hits the button for the elevator
and he turned around and goes get some sex and
goes up the elevator. Joe Burrow is the man. Joe,
I will still be roommates with you.

Speaker 4 (35:20):
I would love that.

Speaker 3 (35:21):
And my daughters think he's cute, so they are good
judges of talent, so that's even more reason to be
roommates with him.

Speaker 4 (35:28):
Huh.

Speaker 1 (35:28):
You know, I don't want to call bs on you, Ross,
but as someone who was your college roommate, a lot
of the things you just listed about Joe Burrow, you
weren't interested in the fact that he's.

Speaker 4 (35:37):
Cool or smoke cigars.

Speaker 1 (35:38):
There are some other factors you were interested in college
that I will address with my selection. Because I would
want to be going to college in a small town
called Charleston, Illinois.

Speaker 4 (35:49):
Do you know Charleston, Illinois. Do you know what's there?
It is in the eastern part of Illinois.

Speaker 1 (35:52):
It is Eastern Illinois University, the alma mater of Jimmy Garoppolo.

Speaker 4 (35:57):
This is easy.

Speaker 1 (35:59):
I want to be Jimmy's roommate and just sit in
the wake and whenever happens, happening.

Speaker 3 (36:05):
Hell yeah, Jimmy, let's go.

Speaker 1 (36:08):
Jimmy's gonna do all the heavy lifting. He's gonna flash
those pearly whites. And it's a wrap. And we're talking
not now, we're talking back in twenty years ago, when
twenty five years ag, when I was in college. It's
not even close. I don't want Joe Burrow, I don't
want Tua. I want James Garoppolo. And there'll be a
sock on the door every single time for him.

Speaker 4 (36:28):
That's it.

Speaker 3 (36:28):
As if you need that, you're like Kyle lean up
to Jimmy G. Okay, look at the way Kyle looks
soap opera star. Kyle didn't mean Jimmy G. Kyle b
was Jimmy G.

Speaker 4 (36:38):
What's the next question? Colin is here we go?

Speaker 2 (36:41):
So I can't believe nobody said Kirk Cousins he would
be quiet he would be clean. He would probably be
banking cookies at some point.

Speaker 3 (36:48):
I mean he'd be courteous.

Speaker 2 (36:49):
Yeah, pressing the snooze button over and over.

Speaker 4 (36:52):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (36:52):
The quarterback you would take alongside Cam Scataboo to fight.

Speaker 4 (36:57):
A gorilla is man.

Speaker 6 (36:59):
There's so many different Like, there's so many different people
that you could take with him.

Speaker 4 (37:02):
But the guy that I felt was really ready to row.
I got Baker Mayfield. I got Baker Mayfield. Like if
you watch The Healthy Writer, Yeah, he in this play alone.

Speaker 6 (37:13):
Like if you watch this guy just goes to the
Washington team and just runs over guys.

Speaker 4 (37:18):
He just run.

Speaker 6 (37:18):
That's a quarterback, that's a franchise quarterback.

Speaker 4 (37:21):
Look at him, like, imagine running into a gorilla.

Speaker 6 (37:24):
And then there is this clip against New York Giants
where he's a lead blocker for his running back Bucky
Irving going down the field and then I saw I
saw when he hurt his like he it was a shoulder.
He had literally one arm and he was throwing blocks
with one arm.

Speaker 4 (37:40):
Like that's one guy. If a gorilla came by, at.

Speaker 6 (37:43):
Least I know that Baker was down for ross.

Speaker 3 (37:47):
Yeah, this I'm gonna have a different strategy. I'm going
with Jameis Winston. Okay, I don't know what he's gonna
say to the gorilla. I don't know what he's gonna
do or dance. I have no idea. But if it's
just me and one other guy against the gorilla, I
need a totally different I want.

Speaker 4 (38:05):
To confuse the gorilla.

Speaker 3 (38:07):
With Jamis saying gabbagoul or doing something weird, and it'll
be like the cartoons. I'll be behind the gorilla and
I'll bop it on the top of the head like
that and knock it out like that. So Jamis is
the shock in all campaign. I go bang like that,
gorilla's knocked out.

Speaker 4 (38:26):
We win, they lose. Beautiful strategy.

Speaker 1 (38:28):
You had to play chess here against the gorilla, and
I'm going to do it too. I'm going to distract
the gorilla as well. My quarterback. I want Shadur because
the second Shador shows up, the Gorilla start having all
these takes and what's.

Speaker 4 (38:39):
It going to do.

Speaker 3 (38:41):
We it's a conspiracy against this man.

Speaker 1 (38:43):
I colluded against him, and it's just like and then
when he's yelling and he I'll just bang right over that.
Anytime Shador shows up, people start saying stupid things and
weird things. Primates are otherwise, Shaduur just distract him despite
being there, and then I'll crack him.

Speaker 4 (38:57):
That's my strategy.

Speaker 2 (38:58):
That is a fantastic strategy.

Speaker 3 (39:00):
I think we figured it out.

Speaker 2 (39:01):
I think we figured out how we can beat the gorilla.

Speaker 4 (39:04):
So great job, guys. I mean, the debate's over. He
did it hurt? Yeah, like five o'clock exactly. And he's
a champion. Come on, he just wins things. He would
win the battle
