Speaker 1 (00:04):
Good Morning Football is the production of the NFL in
partnership with iHeartRadio.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Welcome to Good Morning Football, everybody. It's Thursday out of
twenty eighth.
Speaker 3 (00:13):
Jam here at all Man's Iao, Isaiah stand back here
in California.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
Kyle Brandt in New York. Kyle, we're so glad you're there.
You should have seen us yesterday. We were all.
Speaker 3 (00:21):
Ajar at the open of the show because we were here.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
We were there.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
I didn't notice to go to the show open, like
I need to hear buddy to tell.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
Us what's coming up and then to say roll it.
Otherwise I just kind of fall over.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
I got you all kinds of things. We're talking throw
it down Thursday. We're going to battle about grocery stores.
We're going to talk about Micah Parsons and the Eagles,
and I'm going to say roll it.
Speaker 4 (00:41):
And when I say roll.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
It, I mean literally, because you're going to see a
picture of a roll of sod inexplicably.
Speaker 4 (00:46):
Let's start the hour Good Morning Football, go roll it.
Good morning.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
That's right DMFB. Everybody.
Speaker 3 (01:06):
Jamie Mansi, Isaiah and Kyle. Kyle went to Buffalo, New
York yesterday. We missed him Monk, Good morning football. And
I specifically miss you, Kyle, because I've been doing this
all Roads Leeds West segments with the AFC West coaches.
I've done the seventies eighties, and Kyle, yesterday, you missed
your favorite season in the NFL in history, the best
season that you.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
Call it, which is what year?
Speaker 4 (01:25):
No, No, Jamie, what can you tell me?
Speaker 2 (01:28):
You've only said it' nineteen ninety four?
Speaker 4 (01:29):
In ninety four is my favorite season ever.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
Ninety four, the seventy fifth anniversary of the NFL.
Speaker 4 (01:34):
They all wore the patches.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
It was Dion on the Niners, it was nateron me
and on the Chargers. It was an incredible, incredible year.
Speaker 4 (01:40):
I missed the.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
Alley from Jamie, but I'll make up for it with
hustle plays and rebound.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
There you go, Hey, thank you very much. You get
the six man award.
Speaker 3 (01:46):
I'm sure all right speaking of hustle plays and rebounds,
Mike Rofolo, get in here. We're not talking about the
ninety four season anymore. We're talking about twenty twenty five
and what the Chiefs look like with their latest news
release on one of their players.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
What's going on, Mike.
Speaker 5 (01:58):
Rushie Rice Jamie agreeing to a six game suspension yesterday.
You say agreeing doesn't the league levys suspensions. Well, the
way that they've worked in recent history is that the
NFL will have a baseline for what they're looking for,
and it was higher than this six game suspension initially,
but rather going rather than going through the whole process,
and in the case of Rashi Rice and the Chiefs,
(02:19):
getting this thing started week one rather than all of
a sudden it popping up in the middle of the season.
Speaker 4 (02:25):
That was paramount.
Speaker 5 (02:26):
So it's basically a negotiation and it was settled on
six games. That is the suspension levy by the NFL
for Rice and his off field incidents that have occurred recently.
So Rashie Rice out for the first six weeks for
the Kansas City Chiefs.
Speaker 4 (02:39):
From a football standpoint, I know.
Speaker 5 (02:41):
This team feels a lot better about this receiver group
other than Rice than they have in recent years, and
they feel like they've got a lot of speed and
they'll be able to be fined for the first six weeks.
As for Rice, he gets to put this behind him
move forward with his career elsewhere. Kyle Hamilton for the
Baltimore Ravens, a team that has to defend the Chiefs
(03:01):
often when it comes to.
Speaker 4 (03:03):
That passing game.
Speaker 5 (03:04):
Kyle Hamilton is sending a four year contract more than
one hundred millions twenty five point one million dollars per
season that make him the highest paid safety in NFL history.
Speaker 4 (03:12):
That deal was inked yesterday.
Speaker 5 (03:14):
The Ravens certainly feel great about what Kyle Hamilton has
done and you're going to see it here off top
of the defense, also down low as well, a versatile safety,
a big safety, and a key part of their defense
now locked up for four more years as the highest
paid safety in the NFL. Michael Parsons would like to
be the highest paid non quarterback in the NFL. And
the sides, I would say they've been working on it,
(03:37):
but they really haven't. And in this case, Michaeh. Parsons
spotted at DFW the pictures saying where's he going?
Speaker 4 (03:43):
Does he going to Green Bay? Is he going here?
Is he going here?
Speaker 5 (03:45):
Jay Slader says he's going to get a second opinion
on his back. The hold in that has been the
reason the back and a lot of folks have said, well,
it's not a real injury because a lot of times
it's not with these hold ins, but Michael Parsons going
to get a second opinion, perhaps because he wants to say,
I want to get back on the practice field, I
want to.
Speaker 4 (04:02):
Play in Week one? Am I good to go? Oh?
Speaker 5 (04:04):
At this point, that's what Parsons is going to have
to deal with over the next couple of days here
as he figures out if there's no contract extension, am
I still going.
Speaker 4 (04:12):
To play in Week one?
Speaker 5 (04:13):
That's basically the extent of what he's been doing standing
around for the Cowboys practices, all of training camp and
the preseason. So Parson's gonna have to make a decision
in the coming days. I can tell you this from
the Eagle standpoint, they're preparing as if he will be there.
They want to be surprised that way, like oh, he's
not playing, rather than wait, he's playing.
Speaker 4 (04:31):
We didn't prepare for him. So that's how the Eagles
are process.
Speaker 3 (04:33):
Yeah, that makes sense, Smike Gee, And we just don't
want any surprise at all. We just want the guys
on the field to talk about the first week of season.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
It's all subtle.
Speaker 3 (04:41):
We need calm waters and until then, let's mix it
up a little bit with Throw It Down Thursday. Mike Carocola,
thanks so much. Topic one on Throw Down Thursday. There
is a robot that just got puts it a face,
and that's how we are going to argue with these topics.
What's something that's more likely to happen in the Week
one kickoff game?
Speaker 2 (04:58):
Micaeh. Parson is playing or the Eagle score with a.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
Push push with or without Michael person's on the field
trying to stop at.
Speaker 6 (05:07):
Isaiah Nothing, y'all sleek, Okay, most likely both things are
going to happen. But I believe that Michael Parsons will
be playing. That's what I think is highly likely. I
don't believe that Jerry Jones is willing to face the
scrutiny of them going and potentially losing against the Eagles
without Michael Parsons. That is like doomsday in Dallas Country.
(05:27):
So I think Michael Parsons will be out there on
the field versus the touch push.
Speaker 4 (05:31):
Yeah, I agree.
Speaker 7 (05:31):
I agree that Michael Parsons is more likely to play
than the touch pushes to score. The touch push they
scored eleven times last year, and so if you do
the averages, I'm gonna go by the averages of them
actually scoring on a touch push. I think they're more
inclined this year to run a touch push on play
one than the score in Week one using the touch push.
So I'm gonna have to agree with my brother Isaiah
(05:53):
Kab that I will see Michael Parsons playing first before
a touch push score.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
This is a very difficult question because it's like which
is more likely to happen, then that they're taxes.
Speaker 4 (06:05):
They're both happening.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
Like listen, If Micah doesn't play, then it changes the
whole tenor of what's going on with the Cowboys, because
as we've said and many times, and I've certainly said,
this is all content and cameras and stuff. That's all
fine if that's how you want to run your company.
The second he is not out there for the actual
football against the Eagles, like then it's much darker, and
(06:27):
then it's like you're really hurting the team, and by you,
I mean everybody together, but certainly the organization. He needs
to be out there. This isn't even just any game.
It's the Eagles game. It's a big, big, big game.
I think he will be I think they will do
the touch push Jamie, I don't know what to do here,
because both things will happen.
Speaker 4 (06:44):
Ment I just touched on it. I've been begging for
the Eagles all.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
Off season run the toush push on first and ten
from the twenty five yard line to start this season
and send a.
Speaker 4 (06:52):
Message to everybody. Just do it.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
Take the free three or four yards and then go
and run your normal offense.
Speaker 4 (06:58):
But it would be a hilarious.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
Gesture by the Eagles to start with it. So I'm
gonna have to my tiebreaker, Jamie's I'm gonna have to
say the tous push, because I think both of these
things will happen. But I think the toush push for
the touchdown will happen more than once.
Speaker 4 (07:12):
So I will say that.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
The touch push in just like the field of play
on first and ten at the twenty five is particularly
messy for a lot of reasons, but one of which
is if Michael Parsons is out there. You guys, we
are one week away. Everyone is sitting here. I feel
like a little too calm and confident for the fact
that this man was just seen at an airport for
an injury that he does not have to go get
a second opinion, and he has not put pads on,
(07:35):
And why are you shaking your.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
Head at me? Isaiah?
Speaker 3 (07:37):
It's like this is this to me is mind boggling.
This to me screams. Everyone might be freaking out, but
let's put the narrative out there.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
They're like, no, no, no, no.
Speaker 3 (07:45):
No, no, no, this is cool, guys.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
We're good. It's fine.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
But like we're all clenching our fists when we say
it's fine.
Speaker 4 (07:51):
Everybody, everybody's stay gold.
Speaker 6 (07:53):
Yeah, this is getting weirder, I'll say that. But the
reason why, like nobody seems to have a panic right
now is because what happened with the Dak situation. Like this,
this same situation happened with Dak on the last year
of his contract and on game day, on the game kickoff,
this dude got his contract done. So like this is
(08:13):
not foreign land for Dallas Cowboys. And that's why you're
kind of like, you know, you you've touched the stole
so many times, you've built up that callus.
Speaker 4 (08:20):
It doesn't even burn as much anymore.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
Don't feel pain.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
Micah's at the airport just for show, guys. He's not
even going on a flight, and he went there to
to get his picture taken to stir the pod. The
Jones family said, wait, everybody on TV saying, oh, he'll
definitely be out there. He'll play against the Eagles. Let's
throw them a curve ball. Michah, come here. Just go
to the airport, go through security, look all solemn and
grumpy like you're at the airport, and then just leave.
Speaker 4 (08:42):
We'll pick you up.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
Just I want you to be photographed at an airport
and people will lose their mind.
Speaker 4 (08:46):
Again.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
We have to keep this thing going. So this is
all fake out. Don't don't trust anything you plan anywhere.
Speaker 4 (08:51):
It's just part of the show.
Speaker 7 (08:52):
Like that's Michael Parsons and the beanie at the TSA
going through that thing, like I ain't nobody and I
got shades on a hoodie and I'm walking through TSCA
and I ain't nobody. Like when Michael Parsons is walking
through there, he's like, yeah, I want you to see me.
I ain't worrying about this, guys, is I'm not having
no shades on. I want you to see me walking
through this TSA and get taking my shoes off. He's
(09:14):
probably not even TSA pre check. He's taking his shoes off,
taking the belt off, He's going through the long line.
So yeah, I think just just adding to that narrative.
Speaker 6 (09:23):
It is odd though, because of the fact that he's
at DFW.
Speaker 4 (09:26):
Airport for those that don't know, down in Dallas.
Speaker 6 (09:28):
But if this was team related, he would most likely
be on a private flight.
Speaker 4 (09:33):
That's right.
Speaker 6 (09:34):
But also I know that he is a frugal person
when it comes to financial He's very smart financially. Okay,
so this seems to be on his dollar. But so,
I mean it's very I mean, it's odd. Man.
Speaker 4 (09:45):
He raises a lot of questions.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
Kyle Isaiah, you think you think he's in real thirty
five on Spirit Air.
Speaker 3 (09:52):
Exactly, Man, Kyle, I worry about your conjecture about the
conspiracy to push content out with the Cowboys. Pretty soon
we're going to see one of those like hooks come
through the screen and you're yanked onm be like, Kyle, no,
stop pulling the curtain back like you are exposing jam.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
As long as they do it on TV, I believe
the Cowboys would have it in them, right.
Speaker 4 (10:13):
It's just it's all about right here, go ahead, I.
Speaker 3 (10:16):
Got it all right, moving on and throw it On Thursday.
Former Saints quarterback Drew Brees was a guest on The
Insiders last night.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
The thirteen time pro Bowler.
Speaker 3 (10:23):
Only had one head coach in New Orleans and that
is current Broncos coach Sean Payton. Brees believes Denver can
be a legitimate threat to the reigning AFC champion Kansas
City Chiefs.
Speaker 8 (10:32):
Throw had a chance to work with bow a little
bit of this offseason. Really impressed, which is his overall demeanor,
the way he approaches the game. He wants to be
a great player, He's willing to work. They've really built
a great team around him. I think they're going to
run the ball effectively this year. He's got big targets
to throw to defense. I think it's going to be
lights out. So if there's a team that's going to
make it run at the Chiefs, I think it's the
(10:54):
Broncos and Sean Payton and Vone Nicks.
Speaker 3 (10:58):
But Harbaugh, but Herbert's all right, here's a bigger challenger
for the Chiefs this year.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
Is it the Broncos? Where is it the Chargers idea?
Speaker 4 (11:06):
I'm gonna go with the Broncos. I can't disagree with him.
Speaker 6 (11:09):
Is Breeze and The reason why is because their offense
is going to continue to get better. You know, Sean
Payton is going to do his thing with with bow knicks.
He's going to continue to grow with his development. But
that defense, that defense was already nasty, and these guys
have added to that depth. These guys have added cornerbacks,
they've added pass rushers, they've added Green Laud, They've added
all these playmakers. This defense is going to be solid,
(11:31):
and we know the offense is going to continue to ascend.
So I think the Broncos are something to mess with
for sure.
Speaker 7 (11:35):
And you talk about added and added and added. That's
why I like the Chargers. They're adding experience, They're adding
guys that they've been there already, They've been in this system.
Like listen, guys, I know Bownecks had a promising year.
He has a lot of years under him, but this
is his second He's still young in the NFL. So
when I'm looking at them and the Chargers, I'm looking
at Justin Herbert, I'm looking at Jim Harbaugh.
Speaker 4 (11:55):
I'm looking at in that run game. Now, when you
have a run game.
Speaker 7 (11:58):
And offense, that's going to take a lot of time
of possession off that clock. The margin for error in
the game that's already had a small margin gets even smaller.
Speaker 4 (12:05):
Now you add that.
Speaker 7 (12:06):
To a Chargers defense that is a number one scoring
defense in the NFL, that margin gets even smaller, and
there's floor gets higher.
Speaker 4 (12:13):
That is a Charger.
Speaker 7 (12:14):
So I got to go with the Chargers being the
biggest threat to the Chiefs this year, although I am
very high on the Broncos.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
Yeah, I'm gonna go to the Broncos too. It goes
based on what I just saw in the Super Bowl.
The Philadelphia Eagles sacked Mahomes six times. They forced him
into a pick six, like I would go with defense, defense, defense,
And listen, the only time we've seen Mahomes lose in
a title game, he was losing two a second year
(12:44):
quarterback in Joe Burrow and the Bengals.
Speaker 4 (12:46):
So it has happened before.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
And if you believe in the past repeating itself, Listen,
you know I love Jim Harbow and I believe in
the Chargers, but I believe more in recent history with
the defense that the Broncos have being more similar to Philly,
and I believe in more distant history of a young
quarterback who's totally fearless. He has never been there before
in Joe Burrow now showing up in bow Nicks.
Speaker 4 (13:07):
But got to tell you what I believe.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
I believe the FC West is awesome and I cannot
wait to watch the games this year. Can we stop
talking about what we think is going to happen and
can we talk about what actually just did happen in
a game?
Speaker 4 (13:16):
I'm so ready, y.
Speaker 3 (13:17):
Yeah, yes, right, two week is coming.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
We will find out the answer backsides here, Let's watch
some games.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
Cool, Let's eat some food and watch some games.
Speaker 3 (13:29):
If you were going to get food at a grocery
store in western New York, Kyle Brant may have the answer.
Here's the final topic on throw it. On Thursday, Kyle
was in Buffalo. He was interviewing the NFL MVP Josh
Allen yesterday and he made a stop on the way.
Here's the question, Kyle, you were at a Wegmans. Tell
everybody about it.
Speaker 4 (13:45):
People may not know what Wegmans is.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
Wegmans is an East Coast based supermarket chain. That's me
and Buffalo in a grocery store. I've been all over
the country. I've been in many different chains, and I
posed the question, speaking to our national audience, is there
a better grocery chain than Wegmans. Maybe you've never been,
Maybe you live and die for Wegmans. We're going to
bait it here at the table. I will go first.
Speaker 4 (14:06):
I've seen them all, guys.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
I grew up on Dominic's and the Jewels in Chicago.
I've been to Ralphs, I've been to Van's, I've been
to Public's, I've been to Stopping Shop. I've been a
safe way. I've done them all. Wegmans is my goat.
I don't do the whole foods thing. Wegmans is my goat.
You know what, there's everybody's guy, you know, frozen foods
and the produce and the meats.
Speaker 4 (14:24):
And all that couple things about Wegmans. You know what
they nail at Wegmans. They nail the lighting.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
The lighting is warm and kind of almost orange and inviting.
Speaker 4 (14:34):
It makes you want to stay.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
And then these days in the grocery store game, it's
not just the standard things you gotta have. You got
to have this whole hot foods division and prepared foods
and takeaway foods and fresh foods. They got everything. You
know what I got at Wegmans. I went to Western
New York Wegmans, and I got.
Speaker 4 (14:50):
Sushi and it was delicious, and.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
I could have pizza or sandwiches or anything. It's the
best supermarket chain I've ever seen. And I'm a guy
who loves Superman. I'll go there and not even buy anything,
just eat off the shelves a little bit and then leave.
Speaker 4 (15:00):
I love it. Wegmans, You're my goat KB.
Speaker 7 (15:02):
If you love sushi, you're gonna love the place that
I want to take you, because I don't. I've never
been to a Weddymans. I've never been, obviously, I've never
been on the East East Coast like the furthest East Side.
One is New Orleans like South Bend. But in Hawaii
we have this grocery food chain called food Gap and
food Land. Oh my gosh, guys, fud Land got this
place where you can just go there where there's a
(15:24):
poket bar.
Speaker 4 (15:25):
I don't know if we got that picture, guys.
Speaker 9 (15:27):
And this is what I told Jamie.
Speaker 4 (15:28):
What do you got?
Speaker 7 (15:29):
The poked bar is here in the mainland. If you
have to build your own poket, it's wrong. Like when
you go to a poked bar. This is what you
want to see. You want to see the Limu poke.
You want to see the show you poket, the California Poke,
all of the side poket, all of it is right there.
If I have to come up to the counter and
I have to say, can I have edit mom in there?
Throw that in the trash, it has to be pre
made right on the spot when I go there. The
(15:51):
only thing I want to say is I want a
quarter pound, half of pounds food pound.
Speaker 4 (15:54):
That's what I want. KB, It's on me.
Speaker 9 (15:56):
The next time we're in HOOI.
Speaker 6 (15:57):
Bro Foodland, food Land, Foodland, and Wigland. Okay, you guys
are serious about sure about your food chains? I said, yeah, Okay, listen,
I'm down here and down there in Tahos, right down
in Dallas, Texas, and I know there's this there's a store.
Speaker 4 (16:12):
Chain called hib that's on the uprise. It kills it.
People go crazy. But I'm your h e B. But
I'm gonna break this segment. It's a little bit.
Speaker 6 (16:19):
The place that I love to go to is called BUCkies.
It's called Bucky BUCkies gas station. Listen, it's a gas
station slash store slash.
Speaker 4 (16:28):
The department store.
Speaker 6 (16:30):
Talking about one hundred and twenty gas pumps. You talk
about brisket sandwiches, you talk about freaking pool pork, you
talk about all the burritos and the chips and the
custom snacks and the drink section. It is absolutely insane.
If you want to grab absolutely anything, There's no chance
(16:50):
in heck that you're going to pass up of BUCkies.
I don't care if you were on a full take
of gas, you're stopping at BUCkies and you're grabbing a sandwich,
a drink, and probably some.
Speaker 3 (16:59):
Dog thatch bar. If Isaiah's going to do that, if
we're going to talk about the gas stations and food,
and if it's a department store, all you have to
do apparently is hell sunglasses. I'm gonna go with a
wah wah then, because if I have to walk into
a wah wah and fill up my gaess sake and
order the sandwich on the computer and not talk to anybody,
you're gonna have a wa wall. We'll go to Philadelphia
(17:19):
and a sandwich spot and you can get breakfast and
it's just tremendous. But like at this point, we're getting
away from the grocery store, so.
Speaker 10 (17:26):
I had to enter the group chat. All of your
answers were wonderful. I can't wait to take you to
Wegmans though, when we are in New Jersey next week,
because the only correct answer, Kyle is Wegmans. I am
one of those live or die for Wegmans people.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
One A for me, I do have a one be
stew Leonards.
Speaker 10 (17:44):
If you're from the Use, you also know the stew Leonards.
But I used to live in upstate New York, in
Rochester where the original Wegmans is.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
So when people would come.
Speaker 10 (17:53):
To visit, our tours were Niagara Falls because it was
not far.
Speaker 4 (17:58):
Because it is that good.
Speaker 10 (18:01):
The prepared food section is amazing. You can get the pasta.
I mean, this is now like a stand Wegmans account.
If you're going to follow me.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
Yeah, Wegmans, is it?
Speaker 4 (18:11):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (18:12):
One Wegmans. We gotta go, You are right, we gotta go? Yeah,
all right.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
I gotta tell you, Uh, the Wegmans in Buffalo has
an entire aisle that is nothing but Bill's merchandise.
Speaker 4 (18:22):
It's not even food. They can just buy a shirts
and stuff.
Speaker 1 (18:25):

I'm bringing it to pokey.
Speaker 4 (18:55):

Speaker 6 (18:58):
Listen, my daughter wanted me to take her shopping for
her birthday at BUCkies.
Speaker 4 (19:03):
Let's what you wanted her birthday? She said, take me
to BUCkies and we're going on a shopping spree.
Speaker 10 (19:07):
Whoa hey, you know wow, it never makes the girl happy.
Speaker 2 (19:10):
Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 4 (19:13):
Welcome back to morning Football.
Speaker 1 (19:14):
This is very very special because before the days of
twenty four hour sports networks, before the Internet, before talk radio,
your NFL week started at twelve thirty Eastern time on
Sunday afternoons.
Speaker 4 (19:27):
When you heard.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
This voice coming from your television.
Speaker 9 (19:33):
You are looking live at the shadow.
Speaker 11 (19:36):
Yeah Football bringing you the Lady's Jamie or doll, I
say you sham back?
Speaker 9 (19:44):
OHI branch and man Ti tale, here's very latest. Give
me some winners from week one?
Speaker 11 (19:58):
Oh great, great deliver to dream ladd you know ship
here and semi retirement, just waiting for the survivor contest
down in Las Vegas.
Speaker 9 (20:08):
You know what could be better? There's nothing.
Speaker 11 (20:11):
We all look forward to the start of the NFL season.
Now what a bookend, What a bookend we've got. Look
at Thursday night. You guys have talked about what might
happen on Thursday night with the Cowboys and the Eagles.
Now we go down to Brazil on Friday night, we
got the Chiefs and the Chargers. Oh, Sunday night might
be the game of the week, the Ravens and the
Bills and buff Oh hey, on Monday night, we got
(20:32):
to see what Bears are going to do with Payle
with his new head coach. And here come to Minnesota. Ike, Oh,
I can't wait, can't wait?
Speaker 1 (20:39):
Nayther can we and Brent, it sounds like you're doing
the show right now. With the show being, of course
for so many years.
Speaker 4 (20:46):
Let's go back in time.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
You Phyllis, George IRV Cross and Jimmy the Greek created
something that was truly groundbreaking. Please take us back further
in time. What was it like to be the only
game in town? You knew all eyes were on you?
Speaker 9 (21:02):
Yeah, you know Kyle bo for that.
Speaker 11 (21:05):
The CBS pregame show had been taped on Friday night.
It was called Countdown to Kickoff and it was Pat
summer All and Jack Whitaker, and they would tape on
Friday night because they headed out to the various sits
on Saturday. They had never done a pregame show live
out of New York. And Bob Wessler came to me
and said, Brent, what do you think? And of course
I was a youngster looking for an opportunity, and I said, Bob,
(21:27):
that's the greatest idea I've ever heard in my life.
And then midway through the summer he called and asked
about Phyllis George and I said, I don't follow the
Miss America pageant, but you know, I wasn't going to
disagree with The general manager wanted to bring in a
woman and she came in and I have to tell
you a gang, there are certain people who can walk
into a room and the room brightens up. Everybody gravitate Phillis.
(21:50):
George was like that, and the audience was so comfortable
with it. Now of Cross that first year I had
gone to Northwestern with him. He played for err Parci,
you know those days you played both ways. He was
a defensive back, which he played the NFL, but he
was also a East wide receiver, so I.
Speaker 9 (22:06):
Loved having him. Then the second year, we had it
a little spice to the show. We bought my buddy
the Greek in from Las Vegas and it went from there.
Speaker 4 (22:15):
Brad, that's absolutely awesome, man.
Speaker 6 (22:17):
Earlier this month, Canton called and you received the Pete
Roselle Radio Television Award at the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
Speaker 4 (22:25):
What does that honor mean to you?
Speaker 9 (22:27):
I said, it meant the world, and it's just not
for me.
Speaker 11 (22:30):
It's that's Jane Kennedy And that was a surprise. The
Hall of Fame brought Jane in to introduce me, and
I was really surprised. I love seeing Jane. She's got
a book out. She was a part of the NFL today.
When Phyllis went off to Hollywood to see if she
become a movie actress, and when that didn't quite work
out the way, she wanted to Phillison came back to
(22:53):
the NFL today.
Speaker 9 (22:54):
But it was a team effort.
Speaker 11 (22:56):
I had the best directors, the best producers. Bob Fishman,
Mike Hurl Dukestruck later directed it in there, and I
mean the cameraman at CBS. We had such a great time.
And oh, by the way, we made sixty minutes number one.
We dumped those big audience CBS sixty minutes.
Speaker 4 (23:17):
Oh, I gotta I gotta tell you something.
Speaker 7 (23:21):
But before I ask you this question, your voice takes
mean mernment a very good time in my life. You
called the Oklahoma versus Notre Dame game my senior year
in Norman, and after I got my sixth pick that year,
I remember your voice and echoes through my head now
saying this could be a Heisman moment for that kid.
Speaker 4 (23:40):
And that was your voice. So I wanted to thank
you for.
Speaker 7 (23:42):
That, But I also wanted to I want you to
take me to another place this Sunday, the Notre Dame
fighting Irish retake on Miami. Take me to October fifteenth,
nineteen eighty eight, where the number one Miami Hurricanes visited
God God's Country, South Bend, Indiana.
Speaker 4 (23:56):
I guess the Notre Dame fighting Irish magie.
Speaker 11 (23:59):
I remember your career so well in South Bend, but
this was I'm walking into the booth, okay, Pat Hayden
is ahead of me, and a young man comes up
to me with a box of T shirts.
Speaker 9 (24:10):
This is the truth, and.
Speaker 11 (24:11):
He hands me one and I look at it and
it says Catholics versus the Convicts, And that's what this
game became known as.
Speaker 9 (24:21):
Now, I'm going to.
Speaker 11 (24:22):
Tell you people that the great Lou Holtz, who is
the funniest coach I've ever been around, and also was
a very very good sideline.
Speaker 9 (24:31):
Coach, underrated. I'm gonna tell you right now. The man
who convicted a justments on that sideline was Lou Holts.
Speaker 11 (24:37):
So after it was all over and Lou Holtz had
wanted he was asked, and what did you think of
that Catholics versus the convicts? And Lou that little smile
on his face, step back and said, I'm offended.
Speaker 9 (24:53):
All of my players were not Catholics.
Speaker 11 (25:00):
It was I have to tell you one other anecdote, man.
Speaker 9 (25:03):
I appreciate this one.
Speaker 11 (25:04):
Yeah, so Pat and I, because you know that the
booth was a little Confining in South Bend.
Speaker 9 (25:10):
So they took us out on.
Speaker 11 (25:11):
The photo deck to shoot the opening, okay, which we
did in about ten minutes before kick go off the produce.
Speaker 9 (25:18):
Brent, you've got to go live. We've got to redo
the opening. I said, what happened? What happened on the tape? No?
Speaker 11 (25:24):
No, they had a fist fight and a tunnel. I said,
who had a fist fight? He said, the Notre Dame
players and the Miami players ever coming off after the pregame,
and they got into it up there.
Speaker 9 (25:33):
You got to go live.
Speaker 11 (25:34):
So I went out the photo deck and we and
we went from there.
Speaker 9 (25:38):
It was a great football game.
Speaker 11 (25:40):
Coach Jimmy Johnson still thinks he won the game, still
thinks he had the first down, still jumps all over
me when he sees me. But whatever, pat Hey, then
I thought it was a good call. But it was
a legendary college football game, as good as it gets it.
If he asked me for the games that I remember,
that certainly is near the top of the list.
Speaker 3 (25:58):
It's his story gold when it comes to football, Brent,
And it makes you feel like anything someone touches turns
to gold. Anything you are around it turns into a
legendary moment. I want to take you to Super Bowl eighteen.
I feel so strange saying the following names in the
same sentence, but bear with me, please, because this is
a true story. The Raiders win this game after a
bitter battle with the NFL where Al Davis sued the league.
(26:20):
You're interviewing Al while Commissioner Roselle is standing next to you.
Then you've got President Ronald Reagan on standby, waiting to
talk to Tom Flores. What the what is happening and
what was that moment like for you?
Speaker 9 (26:35):
Jamie? There is the picture.
Speaker 11 (26:38):
I certainly was not concerned about Commissioner Pete Roselle. I
knew he would handle it well, even though listen, that
was a bitter battle between Rozelle and Al Davis.
Speaker 9 (26:48):
A little bit concerned about.
Speaker 11 (26:50):
Al, you know, roughneck guys at times, knowing very very well.
Speaker 9 (26:55):
Coach Flores I knew would.
Speaker 11 (26:56):
Handle the editor with Ronald Reagan well, So that didn't
concern me. But as you see Al Davis there, as
you look at that picture, you will notice this right
hand because he wants to grab that microphone from me,
and then he turns toward the team away from Roseelle
and said just win baby, And that's what the Raiders
(27:18):
still remember about that. But I knew that Roselle would
handle handing off the Vence Lombardi Trophy very well, which
he did.
Speaker 9 (27:25):
But yeah, I was a little wondering what Al might say.
Speaker 11 (27:29):
But he had on himself with dignity listener. He was
a professional all the way, great owner. That was one
of the last great moments of the Raiders' success.
Speaker 9 (27:39):
They're looking to get back.
Speaker 11 (27:40):
I'm a Steveson picket holder, guys, and so I'm hoping
that Pete Gal brings a little juice to that theme
this year. I think Gino's had to go quarterback. We
got to open up in New England.
Speaker 9 (27:50):
You know what I'm saying. We're a three point dog.
We'll see what happens.
Speaker 3 (27:53):
Yeah, Brent Brenn, you are trying to explain all the
other interactions that going on that are going on in
that video of that picture. But all I care about
in this industry is the fact that you and the
rip that you have on that microphone. When you say
that TV people should never give up the microphone, you
are living a Nina buy that, buddy.
Speaker 4 (28:12):
Jammy never give it up.
Speaker 9 (28:14):
Do not let them have it.
Speaker 11 (28:16):
They want to take it from you, because you're in
control of time. That's the one thing you do. And
there you see l and he's about to tighten that grip.
You know, see if he didn't get it. But I
think that was less than number one that I was
taught back in the.
Speaker 9 (28:31):
Day, A gang.
Speaker 2 (28:32):
Don't give it up.
Speaker 4 (28:34):
It's beautiful. Brant.
Speaker 1 (28:36):
Share with us your perspective on college football right now.
You've been around this game for decades and decades. We
are now in a new era of money and nil
and constant transfer portals. What do you think when you
look at college right now?
Speaker 11 (28:51):
Well, it's Kyle is certainly different obviously. I you know,
you have to feel good for the players, okay, because
you came through the era when they didn't receive a
dome and another reason why we have stadiums full good
television and radios. So something had to be worked out.
Now has it gone extremely in the other way? I
don't know what's interesting you asked me a question this
(29:12):
morning because the last story I read before I turned
on Good Morning Football is that Chapoulti Chipoulti has signed
an agreement with Ohio State, Florida, and Georgia in which
the players on scholarship will be able to come in.
I think it's once a month or once a week,
(29:32):
whatever it is and get a free main course. And
I thought, you know, that's a good thing. You know,
those those restaurants and those college towns, they thrived.
Speaker 9 (29:41):
During game day, and I applaud that.
Speaker 11 (29:44):
Now, the funny thing is Texas Beck I covered a
tackle back of the day, way back in the day,
offensive tackle, and he went out and he struck gold,
they hit oil. He and a buddy over there in
the plains of West Texas, Okay, and they were sitting
around a saloon last year and they were bemoaning the
fact they didn't think the offensive line was that good.
And one of the buddies somebody say, listen, you got
(30:06):
some damn much money buy an offensive line.
Speaker 9 (30:09):
He did, Yeah he did.
Speaker 11 (30:11):
Texas Tech has got one of the best transferred teams going.
So I'm taking a look at I tell everybody who's
upset about listen, relax, enjoy, You're still there's great games.
I mean, what a weekend we've got in college football.
I mean with Texas at Ohio State doesn't get any
better than that. Then at night we got LSU with Clemson.
Then we've talked about the Catholic or I mean Miami
(30:33):
and Notre Dame on site, and oh, by the way,
a Monday Night, ladies and gentlemen, Bill Belichick's debut.
Speaker 9 (30:39):
What's the over one.
Speaker 11 (30:40):
Right on the number of times his girlfriend will be
showing on my TV?
Speaker 1 (30:48):
Well, Bray, you're the over undermaster. You know that better
than anybody ever has. And listen, you still have the
one hundred mile an hour fastball. I'm going to ask
you to throw one more. Look at this NFL season,
it's a simple question. Who do you like to win
the Super Bowl this year?
Speaker 11 (31:04):
You know there is always something to the Super Bowl hangover, Kyle, So,
even though I think the Kansas City Chiefs are the
best franchise and the national best run, best organized, best
coach overall, I don't think they're going to win it
this year. The last time they lost to Tom Brady
the Buccaneers, they lost the Cincinnati in the AFC Championship Game.
So I think it'll either be the Ravens or the Bills.
(31:28):
And hello Sunday Night, They're going to represent the AFC
in the Super Bowl. Now, right now, I've got to
put the Eagles at the top of the list. Okay,
in the in the NFC. Okay, now they have lost
some defensive players. I'm interested to see what the Cowboys
do against them on Thursday night, but I would.
Speaker 9 (31:47):
Put them there.
Speaker 11 (31:48):
And I'm waiting to see the brain of coaching drain
at Detroit could really weigh on their success. You know,
not only the two coordinators, but they've lost about a
half dozen assistant coaches under that. So I hesitate to
put them up on top Green Bays. I had a
few injuries about to push them up into there, but
(32:08):
right now I'm going to leave the Eagles up there
against either the Ravens or the Bills.
Speaker 1 (32:14):
Absolutely beautiful, and I want Brett, I want you to
know on behalf of all of us. We appreciate everyone
who comes on the show. But sometimes people come on
and it's an honor, and it is an honor to
have you on here, and you are just incredible.
Speaker 4 (32:26):
Thank you so much for joining us. You're the best.
Speaker 9 (32:28):
Listen, Oh listen, thanks guys. I enjoyed every minute of it.
And oh, by the way, Trader Jose is my favorite
go to.
Speaker 4 (32:40):
He has spoken nailed, Yai.
Speaker 6 (32:43):
Better get those sents over there, Brett, because ice cream
sundes Oka job.
Speaker 3 (32:47):
Brent, all right, get used to the words social networking
and recession in the two thousands, but if you're Andy Reid, P. Carrol,
Sean Payton, or Jim Harbaugh, it'll be the first time we.
Speaker 2 (33:03):
Use the word national champion or Super Bowl.
Speaker 3 (33:06):
These guys were children in the seventies, young adults getting
big boy jobs in the eighties, first time bosses in
the nineties, and now we start winning. Pete Carroll tallied
a few seasons as an NFL head coach, but in
two thousand and one, the exuberant defensive specialist was hired
at USC. In two thousand and four, Carrol recruited his
way into the talents of Matt Lioner and Reggie Bush.
(33:26):
Being on the field for a national championship in an
Orange Bowl game over Oklahoma. Good thing we're talking college
football players, because that is the year that Facebook was launched.
Thanks to Mark Zuckerberg, that ever desired dot edu email
address was the key to unlocking a world beyond your
own campus.
Speaker 2 (33:44):
And despite being born and raised.
Speaker 3 (33:45):
In high school and going to high school in La
Andy Reid's career had largely kept him in the Midwest
and East Coast. After a successful stint in various assistant
roles with the Packers, Reid earned his first head coach
billing with the Eagles in nineteen ninety nine, and despite
them getting to an NFC title game for three straight
seasons starting in one, all ended in defeat.
Speaker 2 (34:05):
Finally, by two thousand and.
Speaker 3 (34:06):
Four, Andy Reid and the Eagles are in a Super Bowl.
Reid's first appearance would become ironically the Patriots third win
in four years, cementing their dynasty. In two thousand and four,
Motorola released the first edition over the Razor. It was
a cell phone and it flipped open and it was fabulous.
It included features like a camera, and it came in
(34:28):
multiple colors, and it was actually given out in these
swag bags at the Academy Awards that season. Jim Harbaugh
was probably calling players who had Razor phones to recruit
them to the University of San Diego. Harbaugh was hired
by the Terrero's in his first head coaching job.
Speaker 2 (34:42):
He spent three seasons in San Diego, and he only
lost six games.
Speaker 3 (34:47):
That's so fetch oh Speaking of mean girls came out
in two thousand and four. Tina Fey spin on high
school clicks and how it affect a teenager soul was
so popular that girls are still wearing army pants and
flip flops, and the date October third is still revered.
Now that is three head coaching title. Sean Payton is
almost there. Peyton was such an important assistant to Bill
(35:07):
Parcels in Dallas that the Cowboys could sense the hiring
heat on Sean, so they gave him a pay raise
to stay as offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach. But that
head headset was looming. Let's move to two thousand and seven.
Not only now it's every head coach a head coach,
but we're beginning to coach against each other, which feels inevitable.
Sean Payton is with the Saints, and he found early
(35:30):
success when he knocked Andy Reid's Eagles out of the
playoffs the previous season. So when this handshake went down
in Week sixteen of two thousand and seven, you know
that thing had heat.
Speaker 2 (35:41):
That was the Saints and the Eagles.
Speaker 3 (35:43):
Speaking of packing, hete In two thousand and seven, the
final Sopranos episode aired Holstin's The Whole Family a Bell Rings.
It was perfect, although some people hated it can't be
one of the best shows in history without a controversial
ending from North Jersey to Palo Alto, because sometimes it's
just not easy to make those types of transitions.
Speaker 2 (36:01):
Harbaugh was not long for San Diego.
Speaker 3 (36:03):
He jettison to a head coach spot in the potent
Pac ten, which meant that there was a first of
many charged interactions with Pete Carroll Carol now in his
seventh season at USC. Just one month into his tenure
at Stanford, Harbaugh ran into Carrol and a number one
team in the nation for the first time October sixth
in front of eighty five thousand people at the Coliseum.
(36:24):
As forty one point underdogs, Harbaugh got them. Stanford won
twenty four to twenty three. And you know what, since
we're talking Harbaugh Carrol, that thing is so loaded. I'm
just going to make the jump to two thousand and nine.
Speaker 2 (36:37):
You can't not.
Speaker 3 (36:38):
Two years later, the number nine ranked USC team hosting
Stanford once again, the Cardinals playing their top ten second
opponent in two weeks straight. All right, Harbaugh got his
guys to hold in the face of it all. Now,
in front of ninety thousand fans at the coliseum, Stanford
beat them again, and it wasn't a one point win,
and it wasn't by a touchdown. The scoreboard was lit
(36:59):
up Stanford fifty five, number nine USC twenty one.
Speaker 2 (37:04):
Captioning would read.
Speaker 3 (37:06):
When the coaches met at the fifty after the game.
Speaker 2 (37:08):
Pete Carroll asked Tarbaugh, what's your deal? What's your deal?
They're a speculation of the score being run up, And
that's honestly a good question. What's your deal?
Speaker 3 (37:17):
It's very widely applicable between those two gentlemen, But in
two thousand and nine you could also apply it to
Taylor Swift and Kanye West, when Kanye West stormed the
stage of the VMAs to interrupt Swift's speech in protest
of Beyonce not winning Best Female.
Speaker 2 (37:30):
Video that year.
Speaker 3 (37:31):
Somehow, sixteen years later, we're still asking that about Kanye West.
While that was happening in Los Angeles in two thousand
and nine, in Philadelphia, Andy Reid was dealing with his
own broad Street drama.
Speaker 2 (37:43):
The Nine Eagles were.
Speaker 3 (37:44):
In the playoffs again, which was a common occurrence, but
the uncommon event was losing in the first round of
the postseason. This was unacceptable. This was an era of
sweeping change. When the Eagles traded Dona Vicman, mcknabbed Washington
after watching Lashawn Shady McCoy when a rushing title is
a rookie plus, the organization dealt with the loss of
a long time defensive coordinator and Reid's dear friend in
(38:07):
Jim Johnson. Upon the passing of Jim Johnson, it was
Sean McDermott who would take over as defensive coordinator under
Andy Reid in Philadelphia. And finally, to wrap up our
tour of the two thousands, we are logged into Facebook.
We are answering our flip clones, and we're watching the
Who perform at the Super Bowl halftime show.
Speaker 2 (38:26):
Which one of those things doesn't belong?
Speaker 3 (38:28):
Oh wait, the Saints beat the Colts that day. At
Super Bowl forty four, Sean Payton would coach New Orleans
to set in at the time record thirteen wins for
the season after they went eight to eight just the
year before. Super Bowl forty four would be the Saints
as an organization their first and still their lone Super
Bowl win, with Drew Brees hoisting the Lombardi and Sean
(38:50):
Payton cementing himself in NFL history.
Speaker 2 (38:53):
That was the two thousand to the twenty tens.
Speaker 3 (38:56):
For the all Roads lead to the AFC West head coaches.
Speaker 2 (39:00):
And history books were still being made.
Speaker 3 (39:02):
But I love the fact that now Isaiah, they're starting
to meet at the fifty because they're coaching against each other.
Speaker 4 (39:07):
Oh, I can't wait to see that. You think that
the headline is going to be what's your Deal?
Speaker 2 (39:11):
What's your deal?
Speaker 6 (39:11):
You think it's gonna be a headline going into this No,
but awesome job, Jamie. The two thousands were absolutely awesome.
Speaker 4 (39:16):
What's your Deal?
Speaker 1 (39:17):
Game is the best, Stanford hanging fifty five points in
the coliseum. My favorite part is that apparently after Pete
said what's your deal, Jim responded, what's your Deal? Like
it was a back and forth deal thing. It's the best.
I love that game so much.
Speaker 3 (39:31):
We love those guys all right exactly. Open handshake is
that sounds like something Harbaugh would still do today.
Speaker 2 (39:37):
How are you? How are you?
Speaker 9 (39:41):
Iconic?
Good Morning Football is the production of the NFL in
partnership with iHeartRadio.
Speaker 2 (00:10):

Ajar at the open of the show because we were here.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
We were there.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
I didn't notice to go to the show open, like

Let's start the hour Good Morning Football, go roll it.
Good morning.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
That's right DMFB. Everybody.

York yesterday. We missed him Monk, Good morning football. And
I specifically miss you, Kyle, because I've been doing this
all Roads Leeds West segments with the AFC West coaches.
I've done the seventies eighties, and Kyle, yesterday, you missed
your favorite season in the NFL in history, the best
season that you.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
Call it, which is what year?
Speaker 4 (01:25):
No, No, Jamie, what can you tell me?
Speaker 2 (01:28):
You've only said it' nineteen ninety four?
Speaker 4 (01:29):
In ninety four is my favorite season ever.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
Ninety four, the seventy fifth anniversary of the NFL.
Speaker 4 (01:34):
They all wore the patches.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
It was Dion on the Niners, it was nateron me
and on the Chargers. It was an incredible, incredible year.
Speaker 4 (01:40):
I missed the.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
Alley from Jamie, but I'll make up for it with
hustle plays and rebound.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
There you go, Hey, thank you very much. You get
the six man award.
Speaker 3 (01:46):
I'm sure all right speaking of hustle plays and rebounds,
Mike Rofolo, get in here. We're not talking about the
ninety four season anymore. We're talking about twenty twenty five
and what the Chiefs look like with their latest news
release on one of their players.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
What's going on, Mike.
Speaker 5 (01:58):
Rushie Rice Jamie agreeing to a six game suspension yesterday.
You say agreeing doesn't the league levys suspensions. Well, the
way that they've worked in recent history is that the
NFL will have a baseline for what they're looking for,
and it was higher than this six game suspension initially,
but rather going rather than going through the whole process,
and in the case of Rashi Rice and the Chiefs,
(02:19):
getting this thing started week one rather than all of
a sudden it popping up in the middle of the season.
Speaker 4 (02:25):
That was paramount.
Speaker 5 (02:26):
So it's basically a negotiation and it was settled on
six games. That is the suspension levy by the NFL
for Rice and his off field incidents that have occurred recently.
So Rashie Rice out for the first six weeks for
the Kansas City Chiefs.
Speaker 4 (02:39):
From a football standpoint, I know.
Speaker 5 (02:41):
This team feels a lot better about this receiver group
other than Rice than they have in recent years, and
they feel like they've got a lot of speed and
they'll be able to be fined for the first six weeks.
As for Rice, he gets to put this behind him
move forward with his career elsewhere. Kyle Hamilton for the
Baltimore Ravens, a team that has to defend the Chiefs
(03:01):
often when it comes to.
Speaker 4 (03:03):
That passing game.
Speaker 5 (03:04):
Kyle Hamilton is sending a four year contract more than
one hundred millions twenty five point one million dollars per
season that make him the highest paid safety in NFL history.
Speaker 4 (03:12):
That deal was inked yesterday.
Speaker 5 (03:14):
The Ravens certainly feel great about what Kyle Hamilton has
done and you're going to see it here off top
of the defense, also down low as well, a versatile safety,
a big safety, and a key part of their defense
now locked up for four more years as the highest
paid safety in the NFL. Michael Parsons would like to
be the highest paid non quarterback in the NFL. And
the sides, I would say they've been working on it,
(03:37):
but they really haven't. And in this case, Michaeh. Parsons
spotted at DFW the pictures saying where's he going?
Speaker 4 (03:43):
Does he going to Green Bay? Is he going here?
Is he going here?
Speaker 5 (03:45):
Jay Slader says he's going to get a second opinion
on his back. The hold in that has been the
reason the back and a lot of folks have said, well,
it's not a real injury because a lot of times
it's not with these hold ins, but Michael Parsons going
to get a second opinion, perhaps because he wants to say,
I want to get back on the practice field, I
want to.
Speaker 4 (04:02):
Play in Week one? Am I good to go? Oh?
Speaker 5 (04:04):
At this point, that's what Parsons is going to have
to deal with over the next couple of days here
as he figures out if there's no contract extension, am
I still going.
Speaker 4 (04:12):
To play in Week one?
Speaker 5 (04:13):
That's basically the extent of what he's been doing standing
around for the Cowboys practices, all of training camp and
the preseason. So Parson's gonna have to make a decision
in the coming days. I can tell you this from
the Eagle standpoint, they're preparing as if he will be there.
They want to be surprised that way, like oh, he's
not playing, rather than wait, he's playing.
Speaker 4 (04:31):
We didn't prepare for him. So that's how the Eagles
are process.
Speaker 3 (04:33):
Yeah, that makes sense, Smike Gee, And we just don't
want any surprise at all. We just want the guys
on the field to talk about the first week of season.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
It's all subtle.
Speaker 3 (04:41):
We need calm waters and until then, let's mix it
up a little bit with Throw It Down Thursday. Mike Carocola,
thanks so much. Topic one on Throw Down Thursday. There
is a robot that just got puts it a face,
and that's how we are going to argue with these topics.
What's something that's more likely to happen in the Week
one kickoff game?
Speaker 2 (04:58):
Micaeh. Parson is playing or the Eagle score with a.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
Push push with or without Michael person's on the field
trying to stop at.
Speaker 6 (05:07):
Isaiah Nothing, y'all sleek, Okay, most likely both things are
going to happen. But I believe that Michael Parsons will
be playing. That's what I think is highly likely. I
don't believe that Jerry Jones is willing to face the
scrutiny of them going and potentially losing against the Eagles
without Michael Parsons. That is like doomsday in Dallas Country.
(05:27):
So I think Michael Parsons will be out there on
the field versus the touch push.
Speaker 4 (05:31):
Yeah, I agree.
Speaker 7 (05:31):
I agree that Michael Parsons is more likely to play
than the touch pushes to score. The touch push they
scored eleven times last year, and so if you do
the averages, I'm gonna go by the averages of them
actually scoring on a touch push. I think they're more
inclined this year to run a touch push on play
one than the score in Week one using the touch push.
So I'm gonna have to agree with my brother Isaiah
(05:53):
Kab that I will see Michael Parsons playing first before
a touch push score.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
This is a very difficult question because it's like which
is more likely to happen, then that they're taxes.
Speaker 4 (06:05):
They're both happening.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
Like listen, If Micah doesn't play, then it changes the
whole tenor of what's going on with the Cowboys, because
as we've said and many times, and I've certainly said,
this is all content and cameras and stuff. That's all
fine if that's how you want to run your company.
The second he is not out there for the actual
football against the Eagles, like then it's much darker, and
(06:27):
then it's like you're really hurting the team, and by you,
I mean everybody together, but certainly the organization. He needs
to be out there. This isn't even just any game.
It's the Eagles game. It's a big, big, big game.
I think he will be I think they will do
the touch push Jamie, I don't know what to do here,
because both things will happen.
Speaker 4 (06:44):
Ment I just touched on it. I've been begging for
the Eagles all.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
Off season run the toush push on first and ten
from the twenty five yard line to start this season
and send a.
Speaker 4 (06:52):
Message to everybody. Just do it.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
Take the free three or four yards and then go
and run your normal offense.
Speaker 4 (06:58):
But it would be a hilarious.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
Gesture by the Eagles to start with it. So I'm
gonna have to my tiebreaker, Jamie's I'm gonna have to
say the tous push, because I think both of these
things will happen. But I think the toush push for
the touchdown will happen more than once.
Speaker 4 (07:12):
So I will say that.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
The touch push in just like the field of play
on first and ten at the twenty five is particularly
messy for a lot of reasons, but one of which
is if Michael Parsons is out there. You guys, we
are one week away. Everyone is sitting here. I feel
like a little too calm and confident for the fact
that this man was just seen at an airport for
an injury that he does not have to go get
a second opinion, and he has not put pads on,
(07:35):
And why are you shaking your.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
Head at me? Isaiah?
Speaker 3 (07:37):
It's like this is this to me is mind boggling.
This to me screams. Everyone might be freaking out, but
let's put the narrative out there.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
They're like, no, no, no, no.
Speaker 3 (07:45):
No, no, no, this is cool, guys.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
We're good. It's fine.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
But like we're all clenching our fists when we say
it's fine.
Speaker 4 (07:51):
Everybody, everybody's stay gold.
Speaker 6 (07:53):
Yeah, this is getting weirder, I'll say that. But the
reason why, like nobody seems to have a panic right
now is because what happened with the Dak situation. Like this,
this same situation happened with Dak on the last year
of his contract and on game day, on the game kickoff,
this dude got his contract done. So like this is
(08:13):
not foreign land for Dallas Cowboys. And that's why you're
kind of like, you know, you you've touched the stole
so many times, you've built up that callus.
Speaker 4 (08:20):
It doesn't even burn as much anymore.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
Don't feel pain.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
Micah's at the airport just for show, guys. He's not
even going on a flight, and he went there to
to get his picture taken to stir the pod. The
Jones family said, wait, everybody on TV saying, oh, he'll
definitely be out there. He'll play against the Eagles. Let's
throw them a curve ball. Michah, come here. Just go
to the airport, go through security, look all solemn and
grumpy like you're at the airport, and then just leave.
Speaker 4 (08:42):
We'll pick you up.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
Just I want you to be photographed at an airport
and people will lose their mind.
Speaker 4 (08:46):
Again.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
We have to keep this thing going. So this is
all fake out. Don't don't trust anything you plan anywhere.
Speaker 4 (08:51):
It's just part of the show.
Speaker 7 (08:52):
Like that's Michael Parsons and the beanie at the TSA
going through that thing, like I ain't nobody and I
got shades on a hoodie and I'm walking through TSCA
and I ain't nobody. Like when Michael Parsons is walking
through there, he's like, yeah, I want you to see me.
I ain't worrying about this, guys, is I'm not having
no shades on. I want you to see me walking
through this TSA and get taking my shoes off. He's
(09:14):
probably not even TSA pre check. He's taking his shoes off,
taking the belt off, He's going through the long line.
So yeah, I think just just adding to that narrative.
Speaker 6 (09:23):
It is odd though, because of the fact that he's
at DFW.
Speaker 4 (09:26):
Airport for those that don't know, down in Dallas.
Speaker 6 (09:28):
But if this was team related, he would most likely
be on a private flight.
Speaker 4 (09:33):
That's right.
Speaker 6 (09:34):
But also I know that he is a frugal person
when it comes to financial He's very smart financially. Okay,
so this seems to be on his dollar. But so,
I mean it's very I mean, it's odd. Man.
Speaker 4 (09:45):
He raises a lot of questions.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
Kyle Isaiah, you think you think he's in real thirty
five on Spirit Air.
Speaker 3 (09:52):
Exactly, Man, Kyle, I worry about your conjecture about the
conspiracy to push content out with the Cowboys. Pretty soon
we're going to see one of those like hooks come
through the screen and you're yanked onm be like, Kyle, no,
stop pulling the curtain back like you are exposing jam.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
As long as they do it on TV, I believe
the Cowboys would have it in them, right.
Speaker 4 (10:13):
It's just it's all about right here, go ahead, I.
Speaker 3 (10:16):
Got it all right, moving on and throw it On Thursday.
Former Saints quarterback Drew Brees was a guest on The
Insiders last night.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
The thirteen time pro Bowler.
Speaker 3 (10:23):
Only had one head coach in New Orleans and that
is current Broncos coach Sean Payton. Brees believes Denver can
be a legitimate threat to the reigning AFC champion Kansas
City Chiefs.
Speaker 8 (10:32):
Throw had a chance to work with bow a little
bit of this offseason. Really impressed, which is his overall demeanor,
the way he approaches the game. He wants to be
a great player, He's willing to work. They've really built
a great team around him. I think they're going to
run the ball effectively this year. He's got big targets
to throw to defense. I think it's going to be
lights out. So if there's a team that's going to
make it run at the Chiefs, I think it's the
(10:54):
Broncos and Sean Payton and Vone Nicks.
Speaker 3 (10:58):
But Harbaugh, but Herbert's all right, here's a bigger challenger
for the Chiefs this year.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
Is it the Broncos? Where is it the Chargers idea?
Speaker 4 (11:06):
I'm gonna go with the Broncos. I can't disagree with him.
Speaker 6 (11:09):
Is Breeze and The reason why is because their offense
is going to continue to get better. You know, Sean
Payton is going to do his thing with with bow knicks.
He's going to continue to grow with his development. But
that defense, that defense was already nasty, and these guys
have added to that depth. These guys have added cornerbacks,
they've added pass rushers, they've added Green Laud, They've added
all these playmakers. This defense is going to be solid,
(11:31):
and we know the offense is going to continue to ascend.
So I think the Broncos are something to mess with
for sure.
Speaker 7 (11:35):
And you talk about added and added and added. That's
why I like the Chargers. They're adding experience, They're adding
guys that they've been there already, They've been in this system.
Like listen, guys, I know Bownecks had a promising year.
He has a lot of years under him, but this
is his second He's still young in the NFL. So
when I'm looking at them and the Chargers, I'm looking
at Justin Herbert, I'm looking at Jim Harbaugh.
Speaker 4 (11:55):
I'm looking at in that run game. Now, when you
have a run game.
Speaker 7 (11:58):
And offense, that's going to take a lot of time
of possession off that clock. The margin for error in
the game that's already had a small margin gets even smaller.
Speaker 4 (12:05):
Now you add that.
Speaker 7 (12:06):
To a Chargers defense that is a number one scoring
defense in the NFL, that margin gets even smaller, and
there's floor gets higher.
Speaker 4 (12:13):
That is a Charger.
Speaker 7 (12:14):
So I got to go with the Chargers being the
biggest threat to the Chiefs this year, although I am
very high on the Broncos.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
Yeah, I'm gonna go to the Broncos too. It goes
based on what I just saw in the Super Bowl.
The Philadelphia Eagles sacked Mahomes six times. They forced him
into a pick six, like I would go with defense, defense, defense,
And listen, the only time we've seen Mahomes lose in
a title game, he was losing two a second year
(12:44):
quarterback in Joe Burrow and the Bengals.
Speaker 4 (12:46):
So it has happened before.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
And if you believe in the past repeating itself, Listen,
you know I love Jim Harbow and I believe in
the Chargers, but I believe more in recent history with
the defense that the Broncos have being more similar to Philly,
and I believe in more distant history of a young
quarterback who's totally fearless. He has never been there before
in Joe Burrow now showing up in bow Nicks.
Speaker 4 (13:07):
But got to tell you what I believe.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
I believe the FC West is awesome and I cannot
wait to watch the games this year. Can we stop
talking about what we think is going to happen and
can we talk about what actually just did happen in
a game?
Speaker 4 (13:16):
I'm so ready, y.
Speaker 3 (13:17):
Yeah, yes, right, two week is coming.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
We will find out the answer backsides here, Let's watch
some games.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
Cool, Let's eat some food and watch some games.
Speaker 3 (13:29):
If you were going to get food at a grocery
store in western New York, Kyle Brant may have the answer.
Here's the final topic on throw it. On Thursday, Kyle
was in Buffalo. He was interviewing the NFL MVP Josh
Allen yesterday and he made a stop on the way.
Here's the question, Kyle, you were at a Wegmans. Tell
everybody about it.
Speaker 4 (13:45):
People may not know what Wegmans is.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
Wegmans is an East Coast based supermarket chain. That's me
and Buffalo in a grocery store. I've been all over
the country. I've been in many different chains, and I
posed the question, speaking to our national audience, is there
a better grocery chain than Wegmans. Maybe you've never been,
Maybe you live and die for Wegmans. We're going to
bait it here at the table. I will go first.
Speaker 4 (14:06):
I've seen them all, guys.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
I grew up on Dominic's and the Jewels in Chicago.
I've been to Ralphs, I've been to Van's, I've been
to Public's, I've been to Stopping Shop. I've been a
safe way. I've done them all. Wegmans is my goat.
I don't do the whole foods thing. Wegmans is my goat.
You know what, there's everybody's guy, you know, frozen foods
and the produce and the meats.
Speaker 4 (14:24):
And all that couple things about Wegmans. You know what
they nail at Wegmans. They nail the lighting.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
The lighting is warm and kind of almost orange and inviting.
Speaker 4 (14:34):
It makes you want to stay.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
And then these days in the grocery store game, it's
not just the standard things you gotta have. You got
to have this whole hot foods division and prepared foods
and takeaway foods and fresh foods. They got everything. You
know what I got at Wegmans. I went to Western
New York Wegmans, and I got.
Speaker 4 (14:50):
Sushi and it was delicious, and.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
I could have pizza or sandwiches or anything. It's the
best supermarket chain I've ever seen. And I'm a guy
who loves Superman. I'll go there and not even buy anything,
just eat off the shelves a little bit and then leave.
Speaker 4 (15:00):
I love it. Wegmans, You're my goat KB.
Speaker 7 (15:02):
If you love sushi, you're gonna love the place that
I want to take you, because I don't. I've never
been to a Weddymans. I've never been, obviously, I've never
been on the East East Coast like the furthest East Side.
One is New Orleans like South Bend. But in Hawaii
we have this grocery food chain called food Gap and
food Land. Oh my gosh, guys, fud Land got this
place where you can just go there where there's a
(15:24):
poket bar.
Speaker 4 (15:25):
I don't know if we got that picture, guys.
Speaker 9 (15:27):
And this is what I told Jamie.
Speaker 4 (15:28):
What do you got?
Speaker 7 (15:29):
The poked bar is here in the mainland. If you
have to build your own poket, it's wrong. Like when
you go to a poked bar. This is what you
want to see. You want to see the Limu poke.
You want to see the show you poket, the California Poke,
all of the side poket, all of it is right there.
If I have to come up to the counter and
I have to say, can I have edit mom in there?
Throw that in the trash, it has to be pre
made right on the spot when I go there. The
(15:51):
only thing I want to say is I want a
quarter pound, half of pounds food pound.
Speaker 4 (15:54):
That's what I want. KB, It's on me.
Speaker 9 (15:56):
The next time we're in HOOI.
Speaker 6 (15:57):
Bro Foodland, food Land, Foodland, and Wigland. Okay, you guys
are serious about sure about your food chains? I said, yeah, Okay, listen,
I'm down here and down there in Tahos, right down
in Dallas, Texas, and I know there's this there's a store.
Speaker 4 (16:12):
Chain called hib that's on the uprise. It kills it.
People go crazy. But I'm your h e B. But
I'm gonna break this segment. It's a little bit.
Speaker 6 (16:19):
The place that I love to go to is called BUCkies.
It's called Bucky BUCkies gas station. Listen, it's a gas
station slash store slash.
Speaker 4 (16:28):
The department store.
Speaker 6 (16:30):
Talking about one hundred and twenty gas pumps. You talk
about brisket sandwiches, you talk about freaking pool pork, you
talk about all the burritos and the chips and the
custom snacks and the drink section. It is absolutely insane.
If you want to grab absolutely anything, There's no chance
(16:50):
in heck that you're going to pass up of BUCkies.
I don't care if you were on a full take
of gas, you're stopping at BUCkies and you're grabbing a sandwich,
a drink, and probably some.
Speaker 3 (16:59):
Dog thatch bar. If Isaiah's going to do that, if
we're going to talk about the gas stations and food,
and if it's a department store, all you have to
do apparently is hell sunglasses. I'm gonna go with a
wah wah then, because if I have to walk into
a wah wah and fill up my gaess sake and
order the sandwich on the computer and not talk to anybody,
you're gonna have a wa wall. We'll go to Philadelphia
(17:19):
and a sandwich spot and you can get breakfast and
it's just tremendous. But like at this point, we're getting
away from the grocery store, so.
Speaker 10 (17:26):
I had to enter the group chat. All of your
answers were wonderful. I can't wait to take you to
Wegmans though, when we are in New Jersey next week,
because the only correct answer, Kyle is Wegmans. I am
one of those live or die for Wegmans people.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
One A for me, I do have a one be
stew Leonards.
Speaker 10 (17:44):
If you're from the Use, you also know the stew Leonards.
But I used to live in upstate New York, in
Rochester where the original Wegmans is.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
So when people would come.
Speaker 10 (17:53):
To visit, our tours were Niagara Falls because it was
not far.
Speaker 4 (17:58):
Because it is that good.
Speaker 10 (18:01):
The prepared food section is amazing. You can get the pasta.
I mean, this is now like a stand Wegmans account.
If you're going to follow me.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
Yeah, Wegmans, is it?
Speaker 4 (18:11):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (18:12):
One Wegmans. We gotta go, You are right, we gotta go? Yeah,
all right.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
I gotta tell you, Uh, the Wegmans in Buffalo has
an entire aisle that is nothing but Bill's merchandise.
Speaker 4 (18:22):
It's not even food. They can just buy a shirts
and stuff.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
But I have to say, like I stood here saying,
Wegmans is my goat and I just listen to Sherry
and I agree. I gotta tell you, this BUCkies thing
has got my I'm the into the BUCkies.
Speaker 4 (18:35):
I say, I've seen those on the road. I thought
it was boocies. I didn't even know how to say it,
but I want to go to a buck I am
going to send you.
Speaker 6 (18:44):
I will get all y'all some BUCkies gear, Buckets shirts.
Speaker 4 (18:46):
I'm saying the next time I come down, I'm sending
it to you. I'm sending it to you.
Speaker 10 (18:49):
I'm bringing it to pokey.
Speaker 4 (18:55):
List. My daughter.
Speaker 6 (18:58):
Listen, my daughter wanted me to take her shopping for
her birthday at BUCkies.
Speaker 4 (19:03):
Let's what you wanted her birthday? She said, take me
to BUCkies and we're going on a shopping spree.
Speaker 10 (19:07):
Whoa hey, you know wow, it never makes the girl happy.
Speaker 2 (19:10):
Yeah, exactly.

twenty four hour sports networks, before the Internet, before talk radio,

Sunday afternoons.

with his new head coach. And here come to Minnesota. Ike, Oh,
I can't wait, can't wait?
Speaker 1 (20:39):
Nayther can we and Brent, it sounds like you're doing
the show right now. With the show being, of course
for so many years.
Speaker 4 (20:46):
Let's go back in time.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
You Phyllis, George IRV Cross and Jimmy the Greek created
something that was truly groundbreaking. Please take us back further
in time. What was it like to be the only
game in town? You knew all eyes were on you?
Speaker 9 (21:02):
Yeah, you know Kyle bo for that.
Speaker 11 (21:05):
The CBS pregame show had been taped on Friday night.
It was called Countdown to Kickoff and it was Pat
summer All and Jack Whitaker, and they would tape on
Friday night because they headed out to the various sits
on Saturday. They had never done a pregame show live
out of New York. And Bob Wessler came to me
and said, Brent, what do you think? And of course
I was a youngster looking for an opportunity, and I said, Bob,
(21:27):
that's the greatest idea I've ever heard in my life.
And then midway through the summer he called and asked
about Phyllis George and I said, I don't follow the
Miss America pageant, but you know, I wasn't going to
disagree with The general manager wanted to bring in a
woman and she came in and I have to tell
you a gang, there are certain people who can walk
into a room and the room brightens up. Everybody gravitate Phillis.
(21:50):
George was like that, and the audience was so comfortable
with it. Now of Cross that first year I had
gone to Northwestern with him. He played for err Parci,
you know those days you played both ways. He was
a defensive back, which he played the NFL, but he
was also a East wide receiver, so I.
Speaker 9 (22:06):
Loved having him. Then the second year, we had it
a little spice to the show. We bought my buddy
the Greek in from Las Vegas and it went from there.
Speaker 4 (22:15):
Brad, that's absolutely awesome, man.
Speaker 6 (22:17):
Earlier this month, Canton called and you received the Pete
Roselle Radio Television Award at the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
Speaker 4 (22:25):
What does that honor mean to you?
Speaker 9 (22:27):
I said, it meant the world, and it's just not
for me.
Speaker 11 (22:30):
It's that's Jane Kennedy And that was a surprise. The
Hall of Fame brought Jane in to introduce me, and
I was really surprised. I love seeing Jane. She's got
a book out. She was a part of the NFL today.
When Phyllis went off to Hollywood to see if she
become a movie actress, and when that didn't quite work
out the way, she wanted to Phillison came back to
(22:53):
the NFL today.
Speaker 9 (22:54):
But it was a team effort.
Speaker 11 (22:56):
I had the best directors, the best producers. Bob Fishman,
Mike Hurl Dukestruck later directed it in there, and I
mean the cameraman at CBS. We had such a great time.
And oh, by the way, we made sixty minutes number one.
We dumped those big audience CBS sixty minutes.
Speaker 4 (23:17):
Oh, I gotta I gotta tell you something.
Speaker 7 (23:21):
But before I ask you this question, your voice takes
mean mernment a very good time in my life. You
called the Oklahoma versus Notre Dame game my senior year
in Norman, and after I got my sixth pick that year,
I remember your voice and echoes through my head now
saying this could be a Heisman moment for that kid.
Speaker 4 (23:40):
And that was your voice. So I wanted to thank
you for.
Speaker 7 (23:42):
That, But I also wanted to I want you to
take me to another place this Sunday, the Notre Dame
fighting Irish retake on Miami. Take me to October fifteenth,
nineteen eighty eight, where the number one Miami Hurricanes visited
God God's Country, South Bend, Indiana.
Speaker 4 (23:56):
I guess the Notre Dame fighting Irish magie.
Speaker 11 (23:59):
I remember your career so well in South Bend, but
this was I'm walking into the booth, okay, Pat Hayden
is ahead of me, and a young man comes up
to me with a box of T shirts.
Speaker 9 (24:10):
This is the truth, and.
Speaker 11 (24:11):
He hands me one and I look at it and
it says Catholics versus the Convicts, And that's what this
game became known as.
Speaker 9 (24:21):
Now, I'm going to.
Speaker 11 (24:22):
Tell you people that the great Lou Holtz, who is
the funniest coach I've ever been around, and also was
a very very good sideline.
Speaker 9 (24:31):
Coach, underrated. I'm gonna tell you right now. The man
who convicted a justments on that sideline was Lou Holts.
Speaker 11 (24:37):
So after it was all over and Lou Holtz had
wanted he was asked, and what did you think of
that Catholics versus the convicts? And Lou that little smile
on his face, step back and said, I'm offended.
Speaker 9 (24:53):
All of my players were not Catholics.
Speaker 11 (25:00):
It was I have to tell you one other anecdote, man.
Speaker 9 (25:03):
I appreciate this one.
Speaker 11 (25:04):
Yeah, so Pat and I, because you know that the
booth was a little Confining in South Bend.
Speaker 9 (25:10):
So they took us out on.
Speaker 11 (25:11):
The photo deck to shoot the opening, okay, which we
did in about ten minutes before kick go off the produce.
Speaker 9 (25:18):
Brent, you've got to go live. We've got to redo
the opening. I said, what happened? What happened on the tape? No?
Speaker 11 (25:24):
No, they had a fist fight and a tunnel. I said,
who had a fist fight? He said, the Notre Dame
players and the Miami players ever coming off after the pregame,
and they got into it up there.
Speaker 9 (25:33):
You got to go live.
Speaker 11 (25:34):
So I went out the photo deck and we and
we went from there.
Speaker 9 (25:38):
It was a great football game.
Speaker 11 (25:40):
Coach Jimmy Johnson still thinks he won the game, still
thinks he had the first down, still jumps all over
me when he sees me. But whatever, pat Hey, then
I thought it was a good call. But it was
a legendary college football game, as good as it gets it.
If he asked me for the games that I remember,
that certainly is near the top of the list.
Speaker 3 (25:58):
It's his story gold when it comes to football, Brent,
And it makes you feel like anything someone touches turns
to gold. Anything you are around it turns into a
legendary moment. I want to take you to Super Bowl eighteen.
I feel so strange saying the following names in the
same sentence, but bear with me, please, because this is
a true story. The Raiders win this game after a
bitter battle with the NFL where Al Davis sued the league.
(26:20):
You're interviewing Al while Commissioner Roselle is standing next to you.
Then you've got President Ronald Reagan on standby, waiting to
talk to Tom Flores. What the what is happening and
what was that moment like for you?
Speaker 9 (26:35):
Jamie? There is the picture.
Speaker 11 (26:38):
I certainly was not concerned about Commissioner Pete Roselle. I
knew he would handle it well, even though listen, that
was a bitter battle between Rozelle and Al Davis.
Speaker 9 (26:48):
A little bit concerned about.
Speaker 11 (26:50):
Al, you know, roughneck guys at times, knowing very very well.
Speaker 9 (26:55):
Coach Flores I knew would.
Speaker 11 (26:56):
Handle the editor with Ronald Reagan well, So that didn't
concern me. But as you see Al Davis there, as
you look at that picture, you will notice this right
hand because he wants to grab that microphone from me,
and then he turns toward the team away from Roseelle
and said just win baby, And that's what the Raiders
(27:18):
still remember about that. But I knew that Roselle would
handle handing off the Vence Lombardi Trophy very well, which
he did.
Speaker 9 (27:25):
But yeah, I was a little wondering what Al might say.
Speaker 11 (27:29):
But he had on himself with dignity listener. He was
a professional all the way, great owner. That was one
of the last great moments of the Raiders' success.
Speaker 9 (27:39):
They're looking to get back.
Speaker 11 (27:40):
I'm a Steveson picket holder, guys, and so I'm hoping
that Pete Gal brings a little juice to that theme
this year. I think Gino's had to go quarterback. We
got to open up in New England.
Speaker 9 (27:50):
You know what I'm saying. We're a three point dog.
We'll see what happens.
Speaker 3 (27:53):
Yeah, Brent Brenn, you are trying to explain all the
other interactions that going on that are going on in
that video of that picture. But all I care about
in this industry is the fact that you and the
rip that you have on that microphone. When you say
that TV people should never give up the microphone, you
are living a Nina buy that, buddy.
Speaker 4 (28:12):
Jammy never give it up.
Speaker 9 (28:14):
Do not let them have it.
Speaker 11 (28:16):
They want to take it from you, because you're in
control of time. That's the one thing you do. And
there you see l and he's about to tighten that grip.
You know, see if he didn't get it. But I
think that was less than number one that I was
taught back in the.
Speaker 9 (28:31):
Day, A gang.
Speaker 2 (28:32):
Don't give it up.
Speaker 4 (28:34):
It's beautiful. Brant.
Speaker 1 (28:36):
Share with us your perspective on college football right now.
You've been around this game for decades and decades. We
are now in a new era of money and nil
and constant transfer portals. What do you think when you
look at college right now?
Speaker 11 (28:51):
Well, it's Kyle is certainly different obviously. I you know,
you have to feel good for the players, okay, because
you came through the era when they didn't receive a
dome and another reason why we have stadiums full good
television and radios. So something had to be worked out.
Now has it gone extremely in the other way? I
don't know what's interesting you asked me a question this
(29:12):
morning because the last story I read before I turned
on Good Morning Football is that Chapoulti Chipoulti has signed
an agreement with Ohio State, Florida, and Georgia in which
the players on scholarship will be able to come in.
I think it's once a month or once a week,
(29:32):
whatever it is and get a free main course. And
I thought, you know, that's a good thing. You know,
those those restaurants and those college towns, they thrived.
Speaker 9 (29:41):
During game day, and I applaud that.
Speaker 11 (29:44):
Now, the funny thing is Texas Beck I covered a
tackle back of the day, way back in the day,
offensive tackle, and he went out and he struck gold,
they hit oil. He and a buddy over there in
the plains of West Texas, Okay, and they were sitting
around a saloon last year and they were bemoaning the
fact they didn't think the offensive line was that good.
And one of the buddies somebody say, listen, you got
(30:06):
some damn much money buy an offensive line.
Speaker 9 (30:09):
He did, Yeah he did.
Speaker 11 (30:11):
Texas Tech has got one of the best transferred teams going.
So I'm taking a look at I tell everybody who's
upset about listen, relax, enjoy, You're still there's great games.
I mean, what a weekend we've got in college football.
I mean with Texas at Ohio State doesn't get any
better than that. Then at night we got LSU with Clemson.
Then we've talked about the Catholic or I mean Miami
(30:33):
and Notre Dame on site, and oh, by the way,
a Monday Night, ladies and gentlemen, Bill Belichick's debut.
Speaker 9 (30:39):
What's the over one.
Speaker 11 (30:40):
Right on the number of times his girlfriend will be
showing on my TV?
Speaker 1 (30:48):
Well, Bray, you're the over undermaster. You know that better
than anybody ever has. And listen, you still have the
one hundred mile an hour fastball. I'm going to ask
you to throw one more. Look at this NFL season,
it's a simple question. Who do you like to win
the Super Bowl this year?
Speaker 11 (31:04):
You know there is always something to the Super Bowl hangover, Kyle, So,
even though I think the Kansas City Chiefs are the
best franchise and the national best run, best organized, best
coach overall, I don't think they're going to win it
this year. The last time they lost to Tom Brady
the Buccaneers, they lost the Cincinnati in the AFC Championship Game.
So I think it'll either be the Ravens or the Bills.
(31:28):
And hello Sunday Night, They're going to represent the AFC
in the Super Bowl. Now, right now, I've got to
put the Eagles at the top of the list. Okay,
in the in the NFC. Okay, now they have lost
some defensive players. I'm interested to see what the Cowboys
do against them on Thursday night, but I would.
Speaker 9 (31:47):
Put them there.
Speaker 11 (31:48):
And I'm waiting to see the brain of coaching drain
at Detroit could really weigh on their success. You know,
not only the two coordinators, but they've lost about a
half dozen assistant coaches under that. So I hesitate to
put them up on top Green Bays. I had a
few injuries about to push them up into there, but
(32:08):
right now I'm going to leave the Eagles up there
against either the Ravens or the Bills.
Speaker 1 (32:14):
Absolutely beautiful, and I want Brett, I want you to
know on behalf of all of us. We appreciate everyone
who comes on the show. But sometimes people come on
and it's an honor, and it is an honor to
have you on here, and you are just incredible.
Speaker 4 (32:26):
Thank you so much for joining us. You're the best.
Speaker 9 (32:28):
Listen, Oh listen, thanks guys. I enjoyed every minute of it.
And oh, by the way, Trader Jose is my favorite
go to.
Speaker 4 (32:40):
He has spoken nailed, Yai.
Speaker 6 (32:43):
Better get those sents over there, Brett, because ice cream
sundes Oka job.
Speaker 3 (32:47):
Brent, all right, get used to the words social networking
and recession in the two thousands, but if you're Andy Reid, P. Carrol,
Sean Payton, or Jim Harbaugh, it'll be the first time we.
Speaker 2 (33:03):
Use the word national champion or Super Bowl.
Speaker 3 (33:06):
These guys were children in the seventies, young adults getting
big boy jobs in the eighties, first time bosses in
the nineties, and now we start winning. Pete Carroll tallied
a few seasons as an NFL head coach, but in
two thousand and one, the exuberant defensive specialist was hired
at USC. In two thousand and four, Carrol recruited his
way into the talents of Matt Lioner and Reggie Bush.
(33:26):
Being on the field for a national championship in an
Orange Bowl game over Oklahoma. Good thing we're talking college
football players, because that is the year that Facebook was launched.
Thanks to Mark Zuckerberg, that ever desired dot edu email
address was the key to unlocking a world beyond your
own campus.
Speaker 2 (33:44):
And despite being born and raised.
Speaker 3 (33:45):
In high school and going to high school in La
Andy Reid's career had largely kept him in the Midwest
and East Coast. After a successful stint in various assistant
roles with the Packers, Reid earned his first head coach
billing with the Eagles in nineteen ninety nine, and despite
them getting to an NFC title game for three straight
seasons starting in one, all ended in defeat.
Speaker 2 (34:05):
Finally, by two thousand and.
Speaker 3 (34:06):
Four, Andy Reid and the Eagles are in a Super Bowl.
Reid's first appearance would become ironically the Patriots third win
in four years, cementing their dynasty. In two thousand and four,
Motorola released the first edition over the Razor. It was
a cell phone and it flipped open and it was fabulous.
It included features like a camera, and it came in
(34:28):
multiple colors, and it was actually given out in these
swag bags at the Academy Awards that season. Jim Harbaugh
was probably calling players who had Razor phones to recruit
them to the University of San Diego. Harbaugh was hired
by the Terrero's in his first head coaching job.
Speaker 2 (34:42):
He spent three seasons in San Diego, and he only
lost six games.
Speaker 3 (34:47):
That's so fetch oh Speaking of mean girls came out
in two thousand and four. Tina Fey spin on high
school clicks and how it affect a teenager soul was
so popular that girls are still wearing army pants and
flip flops, and the date October third is still revered.
Now that is three head coaching title. Sean Payton is
almost there. Peyton was such an important assistant to Bill
(35:07):
Parcels in Dallas that the Cowboys could sense the hiring
heat on Sean, so they gave him a pay raise
to stay as offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach. But that
head headset was looming. Let's move to two thousand and seven.
Not only now it's every head coach a head coach,
but we're beginning to coach against each other, which feels inevitable.
Sean Payton is with the Saints, and he found early
(35:30):
success when he knocked Andy Reid's Eagles out of the
playoffs the previous season. So when this handshake went down
in Week sixteen of two thousand and seven, you know
that thing had heat.
Speaker 2 (35:41):
That was the Saints and the Eagles.
Speaker 3 (35:43):
Speaking of packing, hete In two thousand and seven, the
final Sopranos episode aired Holstin's The Whole Family a Bell Rings.
It was perfect, although some people hated it can't be
one of the best shows in history without a controversial
ending from North Jersey to Palo Alto, because sometimes it's
just not easy to make those types of transitions.
Speaker 2 (36:01):
Harbaugh was not long for San Diego.
Speaker 3 (36:03):
He jettison to a head coach spot in the potent
Pac ten, which meant that there was a first of
many charged interactions with Pete Carroll Carol now in his
seventh season at USC. Just one month into his tenure
at Stanford, Harbaugh ran into Carrol and a number one
team in the nation for the first time October sixth
in front of eighty five thousand people at the Coliseum.
(36:24):
As forty one point underdogs, Harbaugh got them. Stanford won
twenty four to twenty three. And you know what, since
we're talking Harbaugh Carrol, that thing is so loaded. I'm
just going to make the jump to two thousand and nine.
Speaker 2 (36:37):
You can't not.
Speaker 3 (36:38):
Two years later, the number nine ranked USC team hosting
Stanford once again, the Cardinals playing their top ten second
opponent in two weeks straight. All right, Harbaugh got his
guys to hold in the face of it all. Now,
in front of ninety thousand fans at the coliseum, Stanford
beat them again, and it wasn't a one point win,
and it wasn't by a touchdown. The scoreboard was lit
(36:59):
up Stanford fifty five, number nine USC twenty one.
Speaker 2 (37:04):
Captioning would read.
Speaker 3 (37:06):
When the coaches met at the fifty after the game.
Speaker 2 (37:08):
Pete Carroll asked Tarbaugh, what's your deal? What's your deal?
They're a speculation of the score being run up, And
that's honestly a good question. What's your deal?
Speaker 3 (37:17):
It's very widely applicable between those two gentlemen, But in
two thousand and nine you could also apply it to
Taylor Swift and Kanye West, when Kanye West stormed the
stage of the VMAs to interrupt Swift's speech in protest
of Beyonce not winning Best Female.
Speaker 2 (37:30):
Video that year.
Speaker 3 (37:31):
Somehow, sixteen years later, we're still asking that about Kanye West.
While that was happening in Los Angeles in two thousand
and nine, in Philadelphia, Andy Reid was dealing with his
own broad Street drama.
Speaker 2 (37:43):
The Nine Eagles were.
Speaker 3 (37:44):
In the playoffs again, which was a common occurrence, but
the uncommon event was losing in the first round of
the postseason. This was unacceptable. This was an era of
sweeping change. When the Eagles traded Dona Vicman, mcknabbed Washington
after watching Lashawn Shady McCoy when a rushing title is
a rookie plus, the organization dealt with the loss of
a long time defensive coordinator and Reid's dear friend in
(38:07):
Jim Johnson. Upon the passing of Jim Johnson, it was
Sean McDermott who would take over as defensive coordinator under
Andy Reid in Philadelphia. And finally, to wrap up our
tour of the two thousands, we are logged into Facebook.
We are answering our flip clones, and we're watching the
Who perform at the Super Bowl halftime show.
Speaker 2 (38:26):
Which one of those things doesn't belong?
Speaker 3 (38:28):
Oh wait, the Saints beat the Colts that day. At
Super Bowl forty four, Sean Payton would coach New Orleans
to set in at the time record thirteen wins for
the season after they went eight to eight just the
year before. Super Bowl forty four would be the Saints
as an organization their first and still their lone Super
Bowl win, with Drew Brees hoisting the Lombardi and Sean
(38:50):
Payton cementing himself in NFL history.
Speaker 2 (38:53):
That was the two thousand to the twenty tens.
Speaker 3 (38:56):
For the all Roads lead to the AFC West head coaches.
Speaker 2 (39:00):
And history books were still being made.
Speaker 3 (39:02):
But I love the fact that now Isaiah, they're starting
to meet at the fifty because they're coaching against each other.
Speaker 4 (39:07):
Oh, I can't wait to see that. You think that
the headline is going to be what's your Deal?
Speaker 2 (39:11):
What's your deal?
Speaker 6 (39:11):
You think it's gonna be a headline going into this No,
but awesome job, Jamie. The two thousands were absolutely awesome.
Speaker 4 (39:16):
What's your Deal?
Speaker 1 (39:17):
Game is the best, Stanford hanging fifty five points in
the coliseum. My favorite part is that apparently after Pete
said what's your deal, Jim responded, what's your Deal? Like
it was a back and forth deal thing. It's the best.
I love that game so much.
Speaker 3 (39:31):
We love those guys all right exactly. Open handshake is
that sounds like something Harbaugh would still do today.
Speaker 2 (39:37):
How are you? How are you?
Speaker 9 (39:41):
Iconic?
