Speaker 1 (00:04):
Good Morning Football is the production of the NFL in
partnership with iHeartRadio.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
Welcome to Good Morning Football, presented by Old Trapper. Yeah
that's right, everybody, GMFB On a Tuesday. We got GMFB
Radio coming up this hour, Manti Isaac Willy's going to
show up here eventually, Jamie Kyle, What are you asking
the people the fans of the NFL today on GMFB Radio.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
Very simple, very timely. What do you want Santa Claus
to bring your team?
Speaker 3 (00:33):
What do you want? Is it a one seed?
Speaker 1 (00:35):
Is it your last two games are vacated, you get
to go on vacation early.
Speaker 3 (00:39):
Do you want it? What do you want to Santa
Claus to bring your team?
Speaker 1 (00:42):
Call tell me and we'll laugh about it, and we'll
just pick who has the best to ask for Santa Claus.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
Perhaps Dealers fans are wishing that a home playoff game
is under their tree come January. We will sea if
that goes down. They did help themselves last night with
the case against the Dolphins.
Speaker 3 (00:59):
Let's see how it happened.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
Because the Dolphins are in town, and here's the storyline, Rogers,
they get a win last week kind of turned a
lot of the momentum around. But the Dolphins have won
a lot in a row. They're kind of on a
tear Mike McDaniel glasses. Is that intentional? Is that like
a cool thing to do?
Speaker 3 (01:12):
Not? Wouldn't surprise me with.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
Him two up storyline that he plays poorly in the
cold weather.
Speaker 3 (01:17):
He's going to defy that storyline. No, he's not. I
really wish he would, but he just won't.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
So far oh to five walking into this game, I
tell you right now it's gonna be owen and six
after it when the tempature is below forty and Tom
was like, let's.
Speaker 3 (01:29):
Go and Tom when we trust. I'll tell you what.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
That's a big change from a few weeks ago in
that stadium. That's two wins later. That's a lot of
smiles later. And Aaron Rodgers, with those giant hands of his,
can handle the ball in the cold, can throw the
ball in the cold, probably the best in history. Twenty
eight to fifteen, the Steelers, at eight and six in
first place in the North, hoped to carry that momentum.
Speaker 3 (01:50):
They got three games left and here is.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
Number eight out of cal Berkeley by way of Butt
Community College for the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Speaker 4 (01:58):
There's some cast offs, which it makes it really special.
You know, Kenny Gamwell signed next to nothing contract. You know,
Connor Hayward after that had a touchdown run. You know,
Marquez been on a couple of teams. Adam Thielen got cut,
Samuel was on the street for a long time. So says,
(02:21):
let about the character of the guys we brought in.
Speaker 5 (02:23):
Consider yourself one of those cast offs too.
Speaker 4 (02:26):
No, I'm not a cast on.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
He wouldn't bring himself to that. But listen, he knows
what this team is built and the way they have
played their way into the fourth seed in the AFC.
That is where the Pittsburgh Steelers sit right now at
eight and six. You got the Broncos, you got the Pats,
you got the Jags. That all looks mighty fine. Well,
it's very disconcerting and uncomfortable is the fact that we
don't see the Kansas City Chiefs logo lurking anymore, which
(02:49):
means Patrick Mahomes not only is dealing with an ACL
recovery for the next nine or ten months, the fact
that the Chiefs are not going to be in the postseason.
The Patriots are, but the quarterback is not. The same
the Broncos are, but the quarterback is not the same
as you know it historically. Let's go back, shall we.
Let's go on the way backtime machine. Back in nineteen
ninety eight, John Elway won his second Super Bowl. That postseason,
(03:10):
shockingly was the last time the AFC Playoffs did not
feature these three names, Peyton Manning, Tom Brady or Patrick Mahomes.
The sequence of success at the quarterback spot with those
three was remarkable. Additionally, when the AFC Championship took place
in late January in twenty ten twenty eleven season, it
(03:33):
will be the first time since the Jets and the
Steelers played in that game that didn't feature Tom Brady
or Patrick Mahomes. It was Rex Ryan, it was Jets, Steelers.
It all worked all right, but it wasn't Brady and
it wasn't Mahomes. This is crazy, MANSI. The run that
the quarterbacks have had in the AFC is historical and
(03:53):
it's fascinating, but it doesn't include them. Look at that.
They're all gone now we're not having them this January.
It's a new class in town. What do we make
of this year's AFC playoff picture and what remains things
become a little clearer.
Speaker 6 (04:05):
That is crazy, like historically with certain names right and
not being in the playoff, and this is the first
time since then. I also look at that playoff picture
and this could be the first time, guys, that there's
some new blood since two thousand and two, two thousand
and three season in the AFC. As far as divisional winners,
you look at last year's winners, we had the Bills,
(04:27):
the Ravens, the Texans, and the Chiefs.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
This year, it's.
Speaker 6 (04:31):
Looking like we could have the Patriots, the Steelers, that.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
Jackson and Broncos.
Speaker 6 (04:35):
What was Alan Jackson, Mahomes and Stroud is looking like
it could be May, Rogers, Lawrence and Knicks. This is
this is new blood and this hasn't happened in the
AFC since two thousand and two, two thousand and three.
Let's go through some historicals. Back in two thousand and two,
Drake May was born. That's how long ago this thing was.
Derek Brooks won Defensive Player of the Year. Kelly Clarkson
(04:57):
won the first ever American Idol with her song A
Moment like this in twenty In two thousand and three,
Troy Polamalu.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
Was drafted to the steel parts of the.
Speaker 6 (05:05):
Caribbrian was just released and the iTunes Star.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
Was first launched.
Speaker 6 (05:09):
Like that's how long ago this has happened where we
had four divisional winners previous and then the very next
year we had a totally different set.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
So there could be some new blood.
Speaker 6 (05:19):
Willie that's in this playoff picture that we did to
see last year.
Speaker 7 (05:24):
Yeah, I agree, man tie, And then I think we
also have to pay attention to who the Charges are.
Their team that is my dark horse possibly entered in
the playoffs. I know they sit in the wildcar slot
right now. But you talk about three things you need,
especially when you're gearing up for January. You need a tough,
competent quarterback. That's what the Chargers have in Justin Herbert.
He's obviously had three thousand yards three over three thousand
(05:44):
yards on the season, twenty three touchdowns, and he's damn tough.
You talk about beating Jalen Hurts and Patrick Mahomes coming
off the surgery table with.
Speaker 8 (05:52):
A broken hand.
Speaker 3 (05:53):
They also need a defense.
Speaker 7 (05:54):
They've been steadily good and picking up momentum against the run.
And you also have one of the best kickers in
the game and Cameron Dickinson, did you a kicker?
Speaker 8 (06:01):
There you go.
Speaker 3 (06:02):
He's one of the absolutely the acury kickers.
Speaker 7 (06:05):
In NFL history right now, So I think right now
we talk about teams to make it run, teams to
watch out for.
Speaker 3 (06:11):
It's the charges they made me the new kids on
the block. I love it, Willie.
Speaker 9 (06:15):
I retire a Charger just a couple months ago, so
I appreciate you talking about my team. I'm gonna talk
about your team. I want you guys zuoming on the
shoes real quick, wearing two days ago, these would have
been black and purple. Right now, I got the Steelers
colors on because this Steelers team fully converted me. I mean, Kyle,
you talked about it. Just the energy that this team
(06:35):
is bringing right now and how much they just flipped
the script. It's a totally different team. The cast off
thing that's real, that brings energy, especially from a guy
like Rogers, who's, you know, a vet quarterback essentially another coach.
He comes in, he's talking to team and he's like,
we're a bunch of misfits.
Speaker 3 (06:49):
We gotta go earn this. We're gonna be tough.
Speaker 9 (06:51):
And then you see the product of football they put out.
You see DK Metcalf throwing people out the club. That's
the type of energy they're bringing into playoffs. Last thing
on it, Let's not forget that TJ. Watt was not
out there. This Miami Dolph rushing. Their rushing offense was
one of the best in the last four weeks, and
then without TJ.
Speaker 3 (07:09):
Watt they come and hold them to nothing.
Speaker 9 (07:11):
So this team right now is peaking at the right time,
which is what the NFL is about.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
We're going into January.
Speaker 9 (07:15):
You got one of the best quarterbacks in the league,
you got Tomlin, you got toughness.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
They're right where they need to be. Couldn't agree more.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
Sometimes, you know, some of these records of the front
runners or some of the playoff teams are built largely
with the equity from September in October.
Speaker 3 (07:29):
Find the teams that are hot at the right time.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
And if you saw Pittsburgh last night, that was everything
you would want to see from a Mike Tomlin, Aaron
Rodgers team. And they got three games left, right, three
games left.
Speaker 3 (07:38):
Okay, they're at Detroit, which.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
Sounds terrible, but guys like that's Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 3 (07:42):
Michigan condominium that he owns. He's been going there for years.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
He has a home in Chicago. He has a home
in Green Bay. He also has a little house in
condo he keeps in Detroit. He is there is zero
intimidation with Rogers going into Detroit and in the last
two games Cleveland they'll beat them. It's outside. I think
I love Rogers outside. And then the last week again
against Baltimore, maybe for everything, or maybe it's already to sign.
I still like Pittsburgh at home out in the elements.
(08:07):
I think Pittsburgh last night just absolutely flexed. Say what
you want about the Dolphins. They were on a huge
winning streak. Rogers took them out. It was not a
good game, and we might be looking at a reality
guys about the AFC playoffs where Drake may is playing his.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
First playoff game and Aaron Rodgers is playing as twenty third.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
It's like we've been doing this for a long time
and it's an a whole bunch of variety of new
and old.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
And again, just focus.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
On what team is hot as they get in the playoffs. Remember,
New England just lost for the first time in a
few months. Let's see how the next few weeks ago
I like knowing that as much as the next guy does.
It's tough to play these December games on the stretch.
Let's see what Mike Brable gets out of them. And
we may also have a situation where we saw the
Dolphins last night and there's a story about the Dolphins
and the cold, like we could have the Chargers going
(08:55):
and playing a playoff game. Someplays very, very cold, and
Justin Herbert, one of the toughest guys in legal, will
have to prove it. It's like we see the presence
under the tree guys, but we can unwrap them.
Speaker 3 (09:03):
We can shake them, and we can.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
Prod at them and try to guess what they are,
but we can't.
Speaker 3 (09:07):
Quite unwrap them.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
But isn't it just in tox skinting to see them
all lined up there and they almost are.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
It is And Kyle you said, you know to consider
that some of these young quarterbacks are getting their first
bite at the playoff apple this January. That's tantalizing. Aaron Rodgers.
He's been there before, right there in the middle since
Josh Allen, a lot of playoff experience, not a lot
of playoff success to get all the way to where
he wants to go, which is the Mount Everest top
of the Super Bowl appearing and winning one. Kyle, I
(09:33):
got to ask you this. You've been on one, as
the kids would say, recently, and it's been very triggering
for me. And it's this take that this super Bowl
potential run for the Bills or whoever makes with the AFC.
But I'm talking about Buffalo right now. It doesn't taste
as sweet as a Christmas cookie would without going through
the Chiefs. Are you over this now that now we've
(09:55):
been sitting here looking at this AFC playoff picture without
the Chiefs in the lurking column, it's not happening. Can
you revalidate the Bills playoff run for me? Because I
really I have been triggered. Every time you bring this up.
It makes me increasingly more mad. For a true competitor
like Josh Allen Is, it can't just be about going
through Mahomes anymore.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
Well, that's why I bring it up, Jim, because it
gets that's reaction from you and everybody. I don't know,
I'd never really committed to feeling that way myself, but
what I've done is I've I've floated it out there
as a do we think, whether we or anybody watching,
does it hit the same if they don't finally get
over that hump and go through the Chiefs. And I
think it does. And here's the reason why there's not
(10:33):
some sort of manufactured asterisk or something. A part of
the reason why the Chiefs are not in is the
Bills beat them again in the regular season. And I've
tried to compare this to well, the Rockets won the
NBA Finals when Michael Jordan was out of the league. Well,
Patrick Mahomes did not retire for a couple of years.
He is not in the playoffs because he lost too
many games, including one of them to Buffalo.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
So I was laughing.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
I saw a Bills fan online who was reacting to
that suggestion. He's like, listen, you could resurrect the h
to sixteen Hugh Jackson Browns and we beat them three
times and I don't give a damn who we play
in the playoffs. It could be the worst teams of
all time if we win a super Bowl, winning the
Super Bowl.
Speaker 3 (11:08):
And I think I respect that.
Speaker 6 (11:10):
Well, I got to I got to mention something, and
this is I just thought of it as KB was
talking about you know, this whole dynamic with Patrick Mahomes
and Josh Allen and Patrick Mahomes being the kryptonite.
Speaker 3 (11:20):
What happens if because we're.
Speaker 6 (11:22):
Talking about in hypotheticals as if Josh Allen them get
there and they win the Super Bowl? My question is
what happens if they get there and they still lose?
Like we've been talking about, Okay, Josh Allen, Patrick Mahomes.
Every time Josh Allen and the Bills get into the playoffs,
they run to the Chiefs.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
And they lose.
Speaker 6 (11:39):
So it's always like Patrick Mahomes has been this door
at which they can't get through Bowl.
Speaker 3 (11:44):
Now that door isn't there.
Speaker 6 (11:45):
So if you do get to the playoffs and you
still come up short, what is that narrative for Bill's
Mafia then, Like, Okay.
Speaker 3 (11:52):
We don't have Patrick Mahomes but we still lost.
Speaker 6 (11:54):
That's going to be that thing that I'm going to
be eyeing Isaac, is what does that narrative change to
in the event that they'd still come up short.
Speaker 9 (12:02):
Yeah, well, I think this is beautiful because we get
to see Josh Allen really compete. I mean at the
beginning of this year when they played the Ravens, Bills
versus Ravens. We were going into that game talking about
this is a legacy year for Lamar Jackson and Josh Allen,
and then here we are in the playoff, are entering
this playoff era of the twenty twenty five season, and
we get a chance to see him become who he is.
(12:23):
I think it's so much bigger than the hump. I
think this is just simply Josh Allen proving his legacy,
becoming the quarterback that we'll talk about for years.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
Well, to answer your question, man Ty, if they were
to go to the Super Bowl and Louis, of course,
that would be five straight lost Super Bowls for the Bills.
This is a franchise. I mean, they lost four in
a row and'd be five. I'm laughing with some gallows humor.
It's not funny, But you know this idea, I've seen
this take out there too.
Speaker 3 (12:46):
That's kind of adjacent to the.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
One Jamie brought up, which is like, all right, so
Josh Allen's gonna make the playoffs with no Burrow, no Mahomes,
no Lamar. You gotta win it now, which I think
is naive because I don't look at it so much
that he'd have to go through those guys. When Josh
Allen and the Bills get to the playoffs, they have
to go through Sean Payton, Mike Rabel, Jim Harball.
Speaker 3 (13:05):
I'll keep going and going and going. Those are the guys.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
You're gonna have to go through because those guys are maniacs,
and those guys have tasted Super Bowls or have won
Super Bowls, and that is the real gauntlet. So yes,
there's new blood in there and the whole Demico Ryans
Houston experience which already messed up Buffalo. But I don't
look at it as like this is this primrose path
to the super Bowl. Though there's big time coaches and
big time defense.
Speaker 3 (13:28):
It's gonna be nasty.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
One of the recent experiences have a second year quarterback
making it to the Super Bowl would be the Joe
Burrow Bengals. We know how hard it is to get back.
Will it happen for the Broncos? Will it happen for
the Pats. That's just on the AFC side of things.
The NFC is also heating up a little bit, and
we have to watch something that's going down on Thursday Night.
The Prime Video Guds scheduled December. Like those are gifts
(13:50):
under the tree. Look these games, these guys and then
ridiculous Ram Seahawks Thursday, seven pm Eastern. But watch that
pregame show. It's one of our favorites. Seattle gets to
host the LA Rams And this one for the NFC West.
This one is for bragging rights. This one is to
make sure you've got to come to our house potentially
(14:11):
to go through the NFC playoff. Seating implications is going
to be a beautiful thing, like some great have to pick.
Speaker 5 (14:22):
I don't know what it is.
Speaker 3 (14:23):
Trade intercepject. Tyron Matthew stepped in.
Speaker 8 (14:26):
Some of the people sprained my name, honey Badger.
Speaker 3 (14:28):
What a play by the Badger. Picked him by the Badger,
Tyron Matthew.
Speaker 4 (14:38):
An outstanding past, broken up by Tyron Matthews.
Speaker 3 (14:41):
People like they always saw the bunch Brady throwing over
the middle us picked off Tyrone Matthew.
Speaker 8 (14:47):
Come full of swagger. That's one of the better things
I've bring to the game.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
Oh, we love a highlight reel, especially if it's twelve
electric seasons worth, a Super Bowl championship and three Pro Bowls.
Our first guest today on GMFB announced back in July
that he was officially hanging up the CLEAs. We've miss
seeing him on the field, but he's been keeping busy
with family life, charity work, and a brand new pod
that we can't wait to hear more about. Welcome back
(15:13):
to gmf B former safety time about.
Speaker 8 (15:20):
Good morning, good morning, gosh.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
Good morning, good morning. The Honey Badger's five months into retirement.
How's your life these days? What do you fill your
days with?
Speaker 10 (15:29):
My friends, it's father good.
Speaker 8 (15:32):
You know, I'll keep it real with you guys.
Speaker 10 (15:34):
Obviously it's an adjustment, you know, going from doing something
you know, every day every second, you know, just living
breathing it to to really not having a lot to do.
And so thank God for my kids, they keep me busy.
And you know, obviously this game too, you know. I
think it's it's a beautiful thing that guy's able to
walk away from the game and still be a part
(15:56):
of it, whether it be coaching or TV. So that's
that that's been fun for me.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
I think it's important for you to keep it real
in that answer, honestly because it helps other guys who
are just entering retirement space and being like, well if
someone after twelve years says it's hard to make the adjustment.
Then that helps them as well. So I think that's important. Secondly, Tyron,
you know, we were all about Philip Rivers last week.
It was crazy to hear the news that he worked out,
that he signs the deal, he gets the start. What
(16:22):
did you make of Philip Rivers after five years a
forty four year old puts those things back on and
plays quarterback the way he did for the Colts in
Seattle last weekend.
Speaker 10 (16:31):
I mean, that's that's inspiring, you know, and it says
a lot about about players, right, just their ability to adapt.
And you know, I look over the course of my
football life and you know, I've come across so many
great teammates that just so many different, you know, unique
situations and they find a way to kind of rise
to it. And so I was definitely one of those
(16:52):
guys that was rooting for Philip, you know last week.
Obviously I didn't want anybody to fall on him too hard.
But other than that, you know, makes me proud, man,
because football players, they do have that adaptability and they
can they can maneuver through a lot of different circumstances.
Speaker 6 (17:11):
Yeah, they can maneuver your exactly right, bro, not only
on the field, but off of the field, especially with adversities.
And one of your former teammates, Patrick Mahomes. Are all
heartbroken to see him go down the way he did.
But number one, have you reached out Tom had any
kind of conversation with him? And number two, what is
your thoughts on how the twenty twenty five season ended
up for the Ken City Chiefs.
Speaker 10 (17:31):
Yeah, well, I think, you know, obviously, me and Patrick,
you know, we've always been close, you know, really since
my time in Case. You know, I think, you know,
the season didn't go the way that they wanted to go,
and I think those guys they've been doing so well
that I mean, it's this seems a bit strange, right,
but I actually think it's the time for these guys
to kind of reload and kind of retool, you know.
(17:54):
I felt like these guys have a lot of young
pieces that in my opinion, a lot of these guys
they may be the future, or they may be even
you know, they may lead to those guys.
Speaker 8 (18:04):
Get more assets right down the line.
Speaker 10 (18:06):
And so I'm just looking forward to seeing, you know,
how this team responds because this is their first bit
of adversity, you know, outside of losing the Super Bowl.
Speaker 8 (18:15):
Right, So I'm excited to see that.
Speaker 10 (18:18):
I'm excited to see who coach Reid and Spags and
just that whole organization rally around him and see what
these guys are able to bring back next season.
Speaker 9 (18:27):
Well Tyring, the reality of it is, the Chiefs are
not in the playoffs and we haven't seen this in years.
As everybody on TV is talking about, you're a football expert,
not only as a player, but now as you talk
about it, you're an expert of the game. Let's talk
about the AFC. What are you predicting for the AFC.
Who's the team you're watching? What do you think it's
going to look like?
Speaker 8 (18:46):
Oh man, he put me on the spot.
Speaker 10 (18:47):
I tell you, I tell you two teams I'm really
excited to see continue to play down the stretch.
Speaker 8 (18:53):
I think one of them is Denver.
Speaker 10 (18:55):
I think that team with Sean Payton and just the
confidence that those guys have, and you know, the confidence
that those guys are playing with. I think bo Nicks,
you know, his ability to just create nothing out of something.
I think that adds value, you know, down the stretch.
And then obviously they're playing great defense, right and then
(19:15):
another team for me is one of my one of
my old teams. I took a pit stop there for
like six months. Uh, you know, in between Arizona and
Kansas City, and uh, that'll probably be the Texans. I think.
I think the way that they play defense is scary,
you know, you know, just just hitting people like that,
and their ability to affect affect the game up front
(19:35):
and in the back end. I think their coverage and
rush uh, you know that ability there, I mean that
that that adds, that adds tremendous value, you know, down
the stretch. I don't think anybody want to play, you know,
either one of those teams.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
That's a good point that Texans have taken advantage of
the a f C South that was right for the taking. Tyron,
I want to ask you about a project that you've
been working on recently, and before I ask you, the
content on your new show.
Speaker 3 (19:59):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
Your podcast is called in the Bayou at Tyron Matthew. Uh,
I'm from Tyran. This is a question just to you.
I'm from Minnesota, but I covered SEC football for four
years and I learned a lot about SEC culture football.
Baton Rouge, little Village, Little Italy, the Italian restaurant and
Baton Rouge, like one of the best, one of my favorites.
(20:20):
Isn't it down the Bayou? Like, didn't I learn nothing
else but that it's called down the Bayou? Why is
it in the Bayou with Tyro about you?
Speaker 10 (20:28):
Well, because because you know, I guess you know, if
you kind of see where where my house at in particular,
I mean, were surrounded, you know by the water, and
we're just like right now middle of it.
Speaker 8 (20:37):
But you know, it's.
Speaker 10 (20:39):
Really it's really just me and my good friends from
high school, one of my best friends for you know,
fifteen years, and you know, we're just talking about everything
that Loisiana. You know, we're talking about sports, we're talking
about culture, and we're just we're actually really trying to
shine a positive light, you know, on Louisiana. And you know,
so outside of like the food and you know, all
(21:01):
the festivals and the Bourbon Street, there's a lot of
great people here. It's a lot of great cultures tradition here,
and we just want to be one of the one
of the few people that's highlighting that and kind of
pushing that forward.
Speaker 2 (21:12):
Well, it's great content, and I think it's important. Those
great shows are really well done when it is two
friends just sitting there talking about some of their favorite things.
But on your show in the Bayou, Tyer Matthew, you're
trying to you're trying to stand up for Tyler Shuck.
Can you make your case here on GMFB as to
why you people need to have the back of the
rookie quarterback.
Speaker 8 (21:32):
I mean, I just I just think it's so critical.
Speaker 3 (21:34):
You know.
Speaker 10 (21:34):
I think a lot of guys they show up right,
and they want to be a part of the community.
I think these guys want to be embraced by the community.
And you know, I guess it's up to us as
fans right to accept these guys and to root form
and support them. And I think Tyler is you know,
I think he's in a good situation. Obviously, he's part
of a great organization. And you know, I think his
(21:57):
ability to make plays and we was talking about that
with both Nicks, right, just kind of making that out
of something, and you know, he has that right, and
he's been he's been kind of turning up each and
every week. You know, you can kind of see the
Saints putting more and more on his plate as the
season goes on, and so I'm excited to really see,
you know, how he finished this season out, but mostly
(22:17):
how they begin to kind of build around him going forward.
Speaker 8 (22:22):
I really do think, you know, I don't put them
on the level with Drew Brees.
Speaker 10 (22:25):
But I do think he could provide some type of spark,
you know, for New Orleans.
Speaker 6 (22:29):
All Right, Bro, you said takes something and put it,
take nothing to make something out of it. That kind
of embodies your entire career. I remember just watching at
LSU and you and I share being finalists for the Heisman.
Speaker 3 (22:41):
Trophy Award this year.
Speaker 6 (22:43):
There was an individual of Texas Tech, a linebacker that
I thought was worthy of at least being a finalist,
but he wasn't. He had seven force foremost and four interceptions.
He took the ball away for you. I got to
ask you on this show, Bro, what is it going
to take in your mind in your opinion a defender
winning the Heisman Trophy Award Because a lot of people
said that I should have wanted, But I always help people,
(23:04):
and I never said this on live television. I said, well,
if you think I should have wanted Tyrant should have
want it because that boy was just cold at all
aspects of the game of football. But in your mind,
what is it going to take, bro for a defender
to win that award?
Speaker 11 (23:19):
Oh?
Speaker 10 (23:19):
Man, I guess you're obviously, you know, a down offensive year,
you know, because I mean it's such an offensive sport, right,
Like people want to see offensive guys, uh, you know, uh,
they want to see these guys score touchdowns. And you know,
but from a defensive perspective, you know, if you go
back to like guys like Charles Woodson, right, those guys
were actually kind of you know, making plays on offense
(23:41):
as well. So I think, you know, who's ever in
that position. I think the head coach of that team
needs to kind of take into consideration like, hey, this
dude's having a hot hand on defense, maybe we need
to put him in some goal line packages and and
get him maybe you know, four or five easy touchdowns
on the one yard line, you know.
Speaker 8 (23:59):
So, but it is it's tough, man, It's tough.
Speaker 10 (24:02):
I feel like defenders they just have to you know,
you almost have to play you know, perfect, you know,
to even be to even be mentioned in the Heisman.
Speaker 8 (24:11):
But yeah, man, I think I.
Speaker 10 (24:12):
Think it comes down to coaches and and uh, you know,
just kind of putting these guys on the office, and
you know, still are some points.
Speaker 9 (24:19):
We love a good necessary, humble brag. This is for you,
Mantai and Tyr. And you're like, you have to play
perfect to even be considered I mean, my worst quality.
Speaker 3 (24:28):
I'm perfectionist.
Speaker 9 (24:31):
Real quick, tell us about everything you're doing in the community.
You just participated in an event, uh with Payaway.
Speaker 3 (24:37):
Just tell us a little bit about that.
Speaker 10 (24:39):
Yeah, So I mean every year, we uh, you know,
we uh we go in the community for Christmas and
we have a Christmas dinner and obviously, you know, we
partner with son of a Saint who provided the kids
and the families for us.
Speaker 8 (24:52):
And then obviously Pale Way. We partner with these guys.
Speaker 10 (24:55):
Actually our first year of partner with them, but they
actually helped us get the gifts, and so there's a
big wish list of gifts and obviously you gave them,
you know, some money for the holidays, uh, you know,
food and all that type of stuff. And you really
just want to set the table for these families, man,
because when I think about holiday season, I always think
about my grandmother and always think about family, I think
(25:17):
about good music, I think about you know, just good times,
and you want this for these people and so hopefully
we were able to kind of set that stage for
them to really have a blessed holiday season, because that's
what it's really all about.
Speaker 2 (25:31):
Tyrone. It's so amazing listening to you. Well, let's just
talk about your upbringing and where you grew up in
Louisiana whatnot. That that piece of artwork over your shoulder
is stunning. Just who is that and is it? I
have to assume it as by like a local artist
or something. It's so it's so eye catching.
Speaker 8 (25:45):
Yeah, well, so actually this is my daughter.
Speaker 10 (25:49):
A guy actually I don't I don't even know this kid, right,
like he just this is like this something special.
Speaker 8 (25:54):
But he like made this for me. I want to say,
maybe like two years ago.
Speaker 10 (25:58):
It was probably my second season in the UH in
New Orleans and yeah, he just like he's.
Speaker 8 (26:04):
Like had this picture for me and I was like,
you know that that's pretty that's pretty neat. So yeah,
I mean I found I found, I found a good
stots for.
Speaker 10 (26:14):
But yeah, that's my kids, right there were missing one.
Actually she wasn't born yet she's five months old.
Speaker 8 (26:19):
Congratulations, that's so so Yeah. We gotta when we've got
a photoshop for.
Speaker 2 (26:26):
That's what the holidays are for the updated family photo.
Tyron Matthew in the Bayou a Tyro Matthew. Everything that
you're doing for your native state, we love that for Louisiana.
We always love when you come on GMFB.
Speaker 3 (26:37):
Man.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
You really bring a lot to our table.
Speaker 8 (26:39):
Thank you. I appreciate you, guys.
Speaker 2 (26:41):
Holidays. Happy holidays, Tyron, Happy holidays.
Speaker 3 (26:47):
G m FB Radio coming to you live from New
York City.
Speaker 1 (26:49):
I am about one block in Lower Manhattan from the
legendary w f A n radio where sometimes the callers
carried the hosts. Let's hope that happens today because we
have real live callers going to be live here on
NFL Network and Roku and all our wonderful affiliates.
Speaker 3 (27:03):
Right now, let's go to the phones.
Speaker 1 (27:05):
The question is with let's see nine days until Christmas,
what do you want Santa Claus to deliver your team?
You can pick anything you want. It could be something funny,
it can be something serious.
Speaker 3 (27:18):
Just make it something passionate.
Speaker 1 (27:20):
For our first call, we go to the Great State
of Kansas, Casey, in Kansas a Viking span. You have
thirty seconds, Casey, what do you want for Christmas?
Speaker 12 (27:29):
The only Christmas present? I want Tonder Tree Kyles for
the Minnesota Vikings to absolutely destroy the Motor City Kitties
on Christmas Days. I want them to kick Big Dog
Dayan Campbell square in the face and knock out those teeth,
which we all know would be a Christmas present for him.
I want the Minnesota Vikings to leave absolute carnage all
(27:50):
over the field and send those bitty kitties back to
the animal shelter. And Christmas it's a white out game
in the True North. I've been a good girl this year.
Speaker 5 (28:00):
Santa, please deliver you Charlie.
Speaker 3 (28:05):
Casey.
Speaker 1 (28:07):
The only part of that I don't believe is that
you've been a good girl this year.
Speaker 3 (28:10):
Casey.
Speaker 1 (28:10):
I feel like you're evil in a great way. I
like your style. I feel like you're.
Speaker 3 (28:15):
More Grinch in who Bill than Santa Claus the North Pole.
That was great.
Speaker 1 (28:19):
Nicknames Dan Campbells getting kicked in the teeth and.
Speaker 3 (28:22):
He was like that. I liked that. The Bikings fans
are fired up? Are you fired up? About nine? Casey?
She's gone. But I'm just asking rhetorically. I feel like
she is Casey. Love you, absolutely love you.
Speaker 13 (28:31):
Next.
Speaker 1 (28:32):
Oh, yes, another one, Peggy and Florida has got to
take Peggy and Florida Bill San Peggy, what do you
want Santa Claus to bring the Buffalo Bills?
Speaker 14 (28:41):
Well, of course I want the first ever Super Bowl
victory for the Buffalo Bills. But I think this is
the year for Buffalo, and not just for the fans
and the fact that it's the last year of High
March Stadium or what everybody calls the RALF You're in Buffalo, Yeah,
but also for Josh Allen. He loves Buffalo. It's a
great year for him. He got the MVP, he got married,
(29:03):
he has a babe, yeh the way, And this would
camp off his year really wonderfully. And Dunstan Naxos will
just take a baby. So I wanted to camp up
his year as well.
Speaker 1 (29:13):
Peggy, all good cheer coming for you. I wonder is
this the year? Do you feel it in your bones
that this year is different? We'll find out. It's very,
very exciting. This is the last year in this stadium.
Speaker 3 (29:25):
There's babies coming, there's football. Is it good?
Speaker 1 (29:28):
Enough to win a Lombardi Trophy. Got it would hate
the Bills major of the Super Bowl loss for the
fifth time in a row.
Speaker 3 (29:33):
I don't even want to put that out there, Peggy,
I love you. Merry Christmas.
Speaker 1 (29:35):
Next, okay, here we go, but go to a Bears
fan named Mike who is calling us from Tennessee.
Speaker 3 (29:40):
Mike, what do you want Santa Claus to bring me?
First place? Chicago Bears? You're on the air.
Speaker 11 (29:44):
Absolutely, I need Santa to fulfill the prophecy.
Speaker 3 (29:48):
In order to have a prophecy, you need a profit.
Speaker 5 (29:51):
Week two, if anybody forgot fifty two.
Speaker 3 (29:54):
To twenty one blowout from the line.
Speaker 11 (29:56):
Ben Jonson goes to the press conference and says, we'll
be playing our best football in December.
Speaker 3 (30:01):
We've seen the good, we've seen the better.
Speaker 5 (30:03):
It's time for our best football in December. First place NFC.
I'll be there Saturday.
Speaker 3 (30:08):
My girlfriend's from Aurora.
Speaker 5 (30:09):
Shout out Wayne's World.
Speaker 8 (30:11):
Go Chicago Bears.
Speaker 3 (30:12):
Great call. Shout out Wayne's World.
Speaker 1 (30:14):
The Algar and Cambell families live there, as well as
Mike's girlfriend from Aurora. These callers are good, they're they're
composed normally.
Speaker 3 (30:22):
I've done a lot of radio.
Speaker 1 (30:23):
The callers came in and they can't speak there. They're
falling all over themselves. Are terrible. These callers are more
composed and articulate than I am, and that's how I
want it.
Speaker 3 (30:31):
Next.
Speaker 1 (30:32):
Jim in Florida, a Dolphins fan. Oh, No, Dolphins played
last night. It did not look good. They lose to Pittsburgh. Jim,
what should Santa bring the Miami Dolphins organization?
Speaker 3 (30:42):
You're on the air. I want to.
Speaker 5 (30:43):
Wake up Christmas morning and see John Gruden under my
tree drawing up plays and he has his arm around
Joe Burrow wearing a beautiful seel Dolphins jersey. I'll give
up anything, U, Joe Burrow, give.
Speaker 8 (30:56):
Up two drafts.
Speaker 5 (30:57):
I don't care. Twenty five years, Carol, twenty five years,
they haven't won a playoff team. My kids have never
seen a playoff win. Sure, I know it's be loyal
to the soil, but it's getting so so hard. I
love the Dolphins, but he's not win without a quarterback.
Speaker 3 (31:13):
Pee Wee JAIMI feel you man.
Speaker 1 (31:18):
You have a quarterback I think is He is a
two hundred and fifteen million dollars deal and it's just
not working.
Speaker 3 (31:23):
I mean, they won a month in a row.
Speaker 1 (31:24):
They did, got to turn it around, but then last
night national television and the Colt Jim, I love you.
You should be ambitious with your Christmas wishes. I think
the Dolphins are more likely to win the Super Bowl
this year than John Gruden is going to be coaching.
Speaker 3 (31:36):
Joe Borr.
Speaker 1 (31:36):
If you're a team on Chris, I just don't think
it's going to be happening. I don't even think one
of them is going to be happening. But which big
Who am I to tell you? Jim, it's Christmas. I
asked for you what you want from Santa. It's a
good answer, all right. Josh in Arkansas, a Birds fan, Josh,
what should Santa Claus deliver to the world champion Philadelphia Eagles?
Speaker 11 (31:55):
You're on the air, Yeah, with any for Christmas? Is
a consistent and competent offense. And if you want to
throw in an offensive coordinator as well, that's fine too.
But I'm just never condone somebody losing their jobs. But
Kevin Patulo has done a whole lot to keep it.
And on the other hand, like AJ Brown is my
favorite receiver, my favorite player for the Eagles, But you
(32:16):
can't finish your lowcer and crap for the ball and
then turn into CD Lamb like last week and drop everything.
So we got us to be consistent. It's just all
over the place. You flip up a coin, you never
know what you're gonna get.
Speaker 1 (32:27):
With the Eagles, I love Eagles fans. I love you guys,
raigning World champs, winning record doing Okay, it's just still
miserable and fire everybody, and this and this and that
never change. Keep calling. I think we're out of time,
our executive producer, aren't we out of time?
Speaker 3 (32:47):
On? We we have six callers? I hear it in
my ear.
Speaker 1 (32:50):
Yes, kind of melancholy. All right, but let's go to
Inglewood guys who took six calls? Casey, Peggy, Mike, Jim.
Speaker 3 (32:56):
And Josh. Who was your favorite?
Speaker 1 (32:58):
I have my own favorite, but I want to hear
from you guys in Inglewood.
Speaker 2 (33:00):
Casey's not very Minnesota nice. I mean, you can tell
umbrolls out some barber some heat on those ribs if
you will. She lives in Kansas City, but she's a
Vikings fan and she has those kind of feelings about
Christmas Day. My gosh, she wants to put a lump
of cole on her Dan Campbell's tree. I love you Casey.
Well done with the with the with the hate.
Speaker 3 (33:17):
Yeah, I'm down to Mike and Casey. And Mike had
the prophecy take Casey for me.
Speaker 6 (33:21):
Casey bet Johnson on the prophet But come, James, I'm
jumping on the train. Because Casey had the Motor City Kitties,
Bitty City kitties. She had all of the one liners
KB like, how can you not love her?
Speaker 3 (33:33):
She had them with the Eddie Bitty kitties. Any great?
Speaker 9 (33:35):
It is crazy, bro, I'm gonna switch it up. No
one's talking about Jim. Jim just suddenly threw in there.
He said I would give up two drafts. I didn't
hear draft pack like that. It's like, we'll just forfeit
to hold the line up. Jim, what a lie back.
Speaker 3 (33:50):
I think everything we don't need it.
Speaker 7 (33:53):
Yeah, Jamie, I'm taking Casey. She talked with a level
of violence that kind of fired me up. And considering
that I want the Lions to lose to my Steelers
and she wants the line to lose. Her vikings sounds
like a party to me.
Speaker 3 (34:05):
I'm a little case I like it. You know what.
Speaker 1 (34:08):
I think it's cool about this segment today, and it
shows we got NFL fans all over the place. We
had an Eagles fan in Arkansas, we had a Bears
fan in Tennessee, a Bills fan in Florida, and a
Vikings fan in Kansas.
Speaker 3 (34:18):
That's my kind of transplant.
Speaker 1 (34:19):
You stick loyal to your team, and you know what's
very difficult to do in this segment is to go
wire to wire to be the first caller and still
be the best caller even though all the ones that
came after you were still good.
Speaker 3 (34:31):
Casey and Kansas.
Speaker 8 (34:32):
I love you.
Speaker 3 (34:34):
The whole cast loves you. You just won. The Viking's
gotta win, guys. I like it. I got another win.
Speaker 1 (34:40):
We got the quarterback gritting into the end zone, and
we got Casey and Kansas taking a victory lap. I
do think you're right, Isaac. Jim and Florida is saying
he will trade two entire drafts to get Doe Burrow
and John Gruden.
Speaker 3 (34:51):
Great, aim big. It's Christmas.
Speaker 1 (34:53):
You're supposed to dream big, Okay, you want big things
under the tree.
Speaker 2 (34:56):
Yes, Kyle Casey in Kansas is staring down. I feel
like she was staring and holding her phone like like
nine dollars to the camera on his way in in
the locker room. You know what I mean, Like I
feel like JJ McCarthy and Casey have the same kind
of intensity about life.
Speaker 13 (35:09):
Yeah. Yeah, that's how Casey was calling like this. Yeah
that's MFP Radio. Start calling for next week already. The
lines are standing by. What do you want your team
to bring? What your New Year's resolution, doesn't matter.
Speaker 3 (35:20):
We'd love you. Thanks for calling, Thanks for being better
than the host. See you next week.
Good Morning Football is the production of the NFL in
partnership with iHeartRadio.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
Welcome to Good Morning Football, presented by Old Trapper. Yeah
that's right, everybody, GMFB On a Tuesday. We got GMFB
Radio coming up this hour, Manti Isaac Willy's going to
show up here eventually, Jamie Kyle, What are you asking
the people the fans of the NFL today on GMFB Radio.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
Very simple, very timely. What do you want Santa Claus
to bring your team?
Speaker 3 (00:33):
What do you want? Is it a one seed?
Speaker 1 (00:35):
Is it your last two games are vacated, you get
to go on vacation early.
Speaker 3 (00:39):
Do you want it? What do you want to Santa
Claus to bring your team?
Speaker 1 (00:42):
Call tell me and we'll laugh about it, and we'll
just pick who has the best to ask for Santa Claus.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
Perhaps Dealers fans are wishing that a home playoff game
is under their tree come January. We will sea if
that goes down. They did help themselves last night with
the case against the Dolphins.
Speaker 3 (00:59):
Let's see how it happened.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
Because the Dolphins are in town, and here's the storyline, Rogers,
they get a win last week kind of turned a
lot of the momentum around. But the Dolphins have won
a lot in a row. They're kind of on a
tear Mike McDaniel glasses. Is that intentional? Is that like
a cool thing to do?
Speaker 3 (01:12):
Not? Wouldn't surprise me with.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
Him two up storyline that he plays poorly in the
cold weather.
Speaker 3 (01:17):
He's going to defy that storyline. No, he's not. I
really wish he would, but he just won't.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
So far oh to five walking into this game, I
tell you right now it's gonna be owen and six
after it when the tempature is below forty and Tom
was like, let's.
Speaker 3 (01:29):
Go and Tom when we trust. I'll tell you what.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
That's a big change from a few weeks ago in
that stadium. That's two wins later. That's a lot of
smiles later. And Aaron Rodgers, with those giant hands of his,
can handle the ball in the cold, can throw the
ball in the cold, probably the best in history. Twenty
eight to fifteen, the Steelers, at eight and six in
first place in the North, hoped to carry that momentum.
Speaker 3 (01:50):
They got three games left and here is.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
Number eight out of cal Berkeley by way of Butt
Community College for the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Speaker 4 (01:58):
There's some cast offs, which it makes it really special.
You know, Kenny Gamwell signed next to nothing contract. You know,
Connor Hayward after that had a touchdown run. You know,
Marquez been on a couple of teams. Adam Thielen got cut,
Samuel was on the street for a long time. So says,
(02:21):
let about the character of the guys we brought in.
Speaker 5 (02:23):
Consider yourself one of those cast offs too.
Speaker 4 (02:26):
No, I'm not a cast on.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
He wouldn't bring himself to that. But listen, he knows
what this team is built and the way they have
played their way into the fourth seed in the AFC.
That is where the Pittsburgh Steelers sit right now at
eight and six. You got the Broncos, you got the Pats,
you got the Jags. That all looks mighty fine. Well,
it's very disconcerting and uncomfortable is the fact that we
don't see the Kansas City Chiefs logo lurking anymore, which
(02:49):
means Patrick Mahomes not only is dealing with an ACL
recovery for the next nine or ten months, the fact
that the Chiefs are not going to be in the postseason.
The Patriots are, but the quarterback is not. The same
the Broncos are, but the quarterback is not the same
as you know it historically. Let's go back, shall we.
Let's go on the way backtime machine. Back in nineteen
ninety eight, John Elway won his second Super Bowl. That postseason,
(03:10):
shockingly was the last time the AFC Playoffs did not
feature these three names, Peyton Manning, Tom Brady or Patrick Mahomes.
The sequence of success at the quarterback spot with those
three was remarkable. Additionally, when the AFC Championship took place
in late January in twenty ten twenty eleven season, it
(03:33):
will be the first time since the Jets and the
Steelers played in that game that didn't feature Tom Brady
or Patrick Mahomes. It was Rex Ryan, it was Jets, Steelers.
It all worked all right, but it wasn't Brady and
it wasn't Mahomes. This is crazy, MANSI. The run that
the quarterbacks have had in the AFC is historical and
(03:53):
it's fascinating, but it doesn't include them. Look at that.
They're all gone now we're not having them this January.
It's a new class in town. What do we make
of this year's AFC playoff picture and what remains things
become a little clearer.
Speaker 6 (04:05):
That is crazy, like historically with certain names right and
not being in the playoff, and this is the first
time since then. I also look at that playoff picture
and this could be the first time, guys, that there's
some new blood since two thousand and two, two thousand
and three season in the AFC. As far as divisional winners,
you look at last year's winners, we had the Bills,
(04:27):
the Ravens, the Texans, and the Chiefs.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
This year, it's.
Speaker 6 (04:31):
Looking like we could have the Patriots, the Steelers, that.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
Jackson and Broncos.
Speaker 6 (04:35):
What was Alan Jackson, Mahomes and Stroud is looking like
it could be May, Rogers, Lawrence and Knicks. This is
this is new blood and this hasn't happened in the
AFC since two thousand and two, two thousand and three.
Let's go through some historicals. Back in two thousand and two,
Drake May was born. That's how long ago this thing was.
Derek Brooks won Defensive Player of the Year. Kelly Clarkson
(04:57):
won the first ever American Idol with her song A
Moment like this in twenty In two thousand and three,
Troy Polamalu.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
Was drafted to the steel parts of the.
Speaker 6 (05:05):
Caribbrian was just released and the iTunes Star.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
Was first launched.
Speaker 6 (05:09):
Like that's how long ago this has happened where we
had four divisional winners previous and then the very next
year we had a totally different set.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
So there could be some new blood.
Speaker 6 (05:19):
Willie that's in this playoff picture that we did to
see last year.
Speaker 7 (05:24):
Yeah, I agree, man tie, And then I think we
also have to pay attention to who the Charges are.
Their team that is my dark horse possibly entered in
the playoffs. I know they sit in the wildcar slot
right now. But you talk about three things you need,
especially when you're gearing up for January. You need a tough,
competent quarterback. That's what the Chargers have in Justin Herbert.
He's obviously had three thousand yards three over three thousand
(05:44):
yards on the season, twenty three touchdowns, and he's damn tough.
You talk about beating Jalen Hurts and Patrick Mahomes coming
off the surgery table with.
Speaker 8 (05:52):
A broken hand.
Speaker 3 (05:53):
They also need a defense.
Speaker 7 (05:54):
They've been steadily good and picking up momentum against the run.
And you also have one of the best kickers in
the game and Cameron Dickinson, did you a kicker?
Speaker 8 (06:01):
There you go.
Speaker 3 (06:02):
He's one of the absolutely the acury kickers.
Speaker 7 (06:05):
In NFL history right now, So I think right now
we talk about teams to make it run, teams to
watch out for.
Speaker 3 (06:11):
It's the charges they made me the new kids on
the block. I love it, Willie.
Speaker 9 (06:15):
I retire a Charger just a couple months ago, so
I appreciate you talking about my team. I'm gonna talk
about your team. I want you guys zuoming on the
shoes real quick, wearing two days ago, these would have
been black and purple. Right now, I got the Steelers
colors on because this Steelers team fully converted me. I mean, Kyle,
you talked about it. Just the energy that this team
(06:35):
is bringing right now and how much they just flipped
the script. It's a totally different team. The cast off
thing that's real, that brings energy, especially from a guy
like Rogers, who's, you know, a vet quarterback essentially another coach.
He comes in, he's talking to team and he's like,
we're a bunch of misfits.
Speaker 3 (06:49):
We gotta go earn this. We're gonna be tough.
Speaker 9 (06:51):
And then you see the product of football they put out.
You see DK Metcalf throwing people out the club. That's
the type of energy they're bringing into playoffs. Last thing
on it, Let's not forget that TJ. Watt was not
out there. This Miami Dolph rushing. Their rushing offense was
one of the best in the last four weeks, and
then without TJ.
Speaker 3 (07:09):
Watt they come and hold them to nothing.
Speaker 9 (07:11):
So this team right now is peaking at the right time,
which is what the NFL is about.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
We're going into January.
Speaker 9 (07:15):
You got one of the best quarterbacks in the league,
you got Tomlin, you got toughness.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
They're right where they need to be. Couldn't agree more.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
Sometimes, you know, some of these records of the front
runners or some of the playoff teams are built largely
with the equity from September in October.
Speaker 3 (07:29):
Find the teams that are hot at the right time.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
And if you saw Pittsburgh last night, that was everything
you would want to see from a Mike Tomlin, Aaron
Rodgers team. And they got three games left, right, three
games left.
Speaker 3 (07:38):
Okay, they're at Detroit, which.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
Sounds terrible, but guys like that's Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 3 (07:42):
Michigan condominium that he owns. He's been going there for years.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
He has a home in Chicago. He has a home
in Green Bay. He also has a little house in
condo he keeps in Detroit. He is there is zero
intimidation with Rogers going into Detroit and in the last
two games Cleveland they'll beat them. It's outside. I think
I love Rogers outside. And then the last week again
against Baltimore, maybe for everything, or maybe it's already to sign.
I still like Pittsburgh at home out in the elements.
(08:07):
I think Pittsburgh last night just absolutely flexed. Say what
you want about the Dolphins. They were on a huge
winning streak. Rogers took them out. It was not a
good game, and we might be looking at a reality
guys about the AFC playoffs where Drake may is playing his.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
First playoff game and Aaron Rodgers is playing as twenty third.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
It's like we've been doing this for a long time
and it's an a whole bunch of variety of new
and old.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
And again, just focus.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
On what team is hot as they get in the playoffs. Remember,
New England just lost for the first time in a
few months. Let's see how the next few weeks ago
I like knowing that as much as the next guy does.
It's tough to play these December games on the stretch.
Let's see what Mike Brable gets out of them. And
we may also have a situation where we saw the
Dolphins last night and there's a story about the Dolphins
and the cold, like we could have the Chargers going
(08:55):
and playing a playoff game. Someplays very, very cold, and
Justin Herbert, one of the toughest guys in legal, will
have to prove it. It's like we see the presence
under the tree guys, but we can unwrap them.
Speaker 3 (09:03):
We can shake them, and we can.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
Prod at them and try to guess what they are,
but we can't.
Speaker 3 (09:07):
Quite unwrap them.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
But isn't it just in tox skinting to see them
all lined up there and they almost are.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
It is And Kyle you said, you know to consider
that some of these young quarterbacks are getting their first
bite at the playoff apple this January. That's tantalizing. Aaron Rodgers.
He's been there before, right there in the middle since
Josh Allen, a lot of playoff experience, not a lot
of playoff success to get all the way to where
he wants to go, which is the Mount Everest top
of the Super Bowl appearing and winning one. Kyle, I
(09:33):
got to ask you this. You've been on one, as
the kids would say, recently, and it's been very triggering
for me. And it's this take that this super Bowl
potential run for the Bills or whoever makes with the AFC.
But I'm talking about Buffalo right now. It doesn't taste
as sweet as a Christmas cookie would without going through
the Chiefs. Are you over this now that now we've
(09:55):
been sitting here looking at this AFC playoff picture without
the Chiefs in the lurking column, it's not happening. Can
you revalidate the Bills playoff run for me? Because I
really I have been triggered. Every time you bring this up.
It makes me increasingly more mad. For a true competitor
like Josh Allen Is, it can't just be about going
through Mahomes anymore.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
Well, that's why I bring it up, Jim, because it
gets that's reaction from you and everybody. I don't know,
I'd never really committed to feeling that way myself, but
what I've done is I've I've floated it out there
as a do we think, whether we or anybody watching,
does it hit the same if they don't finally get
over that hump and go through the Chiefs. And I
think it does. And here's the reason why there's not
(10:33):
some sort of manufactured asterisk or something. A part of
the reason why the Chiefs are not in is the
Bills beat them again in the regular season. And I've
tried to compare this to well, the Rockets won the
NBA Finals when Michael Jordan was out of the league. Well,
Patrick Mahomes did not retire for a couple of years.
He is not in the playoffs because he lost too
many games, including one of them to Buffalo.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
So I was laughing.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
I saw a Bills fan online who was reacting to
that suggestion. He's like, listen, you could resurrect the h
to sixteen Hugh Jackson Browns and we beat them three
times and I don't give a damn who we play
in the playoffs. It could be the worst teams of
all time if we win a super Bowl, winning the
Super Bowl.
Speaker 3 (11:08):
And I think I respect that.
Speaker 6 (11:10):
Well, I got to I got to mention something, and
this is I just thought of it as KB was
talking about you know, this whole dynamic with Patrick Mahomes
and Josh Allen and Patrick Mahomes being the kryptonite.
Speaker 3 (11:20):
What happens if because we're.
Speaker 6 (11:22):
Talking about in hypotheticals as if Josh Allen them get
there and they win the Super Bowl? My question is
what happens if they get there and they still lose?
Like we've been talking about, Okay, Josh Allen, Patrick Mahomes.
Every time Josh Allen and the Bills get into the playoffs,
they run to the Chiefs.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
And they lose.
Speaker 6 (11:39):
So it's always like Patrick Mahomes has been this door
at which they can't get through Bowl.
Speaker 3 (11:44):
Now that door isn't there.
Speaker 6 (11:45):
So if you do get to the playoffs and you
still come up short, what is that narrative for Bill's
Mafia then, Like, Okay.
Speaker 3 (11:52):
We don't have Patrick Mahomes but we still lost.
Speaker 6 (11:54):
That's going to be that thing that I'm going to
be eyeing Isaac, is what does that narrative change to
in the event that they'd still come up short.
Speaker 9 (12:02):
Yeah, well, I think this is beautiful because we get
to see Josh Allen really compete. I mean at the
beginning of this year when they played the Ravens, Bills
versus Ravens. We were going into that game talking about
this is a legacy year for Lamar Jackson and Josh Allen,
and then here we are in the playoff, are entering
this playoff era of the twenty twenty five season, and
we get a chance to see him become who he is.
(12:23):
I think it's so much bigger than the hump. I
think this is just simply Josh Allen proving his legacy,
becoming the quarterback that we'll talk about for years.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
Well, to answer your question, man Ty, if they were
to go to the Super Bowl and Louis, of course,
that would be five straight lost Super Bowls for the Bills.
This is a franchise. I mean, they lost four in
a row and'd be five. I'm laughing with some gallows humor.
It's not funny, But you know this idea, I've seen
this take out there too.
Speaker 3 (12:46):
That's kind of adjacent to the.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
One Jamie brought up, which is like, all right, so
Josh Allen's gonna make the playoffs with no Burrow, no Mahomes,
no Lamar. You gotta win it now, which I think
is naive because I don't look at it so much
that he'd have to go through those guys. When Josh
Allen and the Bills get to the playoffs, they have
to go through Sean Payton, Mike Rabel, Jim Harball.
Speaker 3 (13:05):
I'll keep going and going and going. Those are the guys.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
You're gonna have to go through because those guys are maniacs,
and those guys have tasted Super Bowls or have won
Super Bowls, and that is the real gauntlet. So yes,
there's new blood in there and the whole Demico Ryans
Houston experience which already messed up Buffalo. But I don't
look at it as like this is this primrose path
to the super Bowl. Though there's big time coaches and
big time defense.
Speaker 3 (13:28):
It's gonna be nasty.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
One of the recent experiences have a second year quarterback
making it to the Super Bowl would be the Joe
Burrow Bengals. We know how hard it is to get back.
Will it happen for the Broncos? Will it happen for
the Pats. That's just on the AFC side of things.
The NFC is also heating up a little bit, and
we have to watch something that's going down on Thursday Night.
The Prime Video Guds scheduled December. Like those are gifts
(13:50):
under the tree. Look these games, these guys and then
ridiculous Ram Seahawks Thursday, seven pm Eastern. But watch that
pregame show. It's one of our favorites. Seattle gets to
host the LA Rams And this one for the NFC West.
This one is for bragging rights. This one is to
make sure you've got to come to our house potentially
(14:11):
to go through the NFC playoff. Seating implications is going
to be a beautiful thing, like some great have to pick.
Speaker 5 (14:22):
I don't know what it is.
Speaker 3 (14:23):
Trade intercepject. Tyron Matthew stepped in.
Speaker 8 (14:26):
Some of the people sprained my name, honey Badger.
Speaker 3 (14:28):
What a play by the Badger. Picked him by the Badger,
Tyron Matthew.
Speaker 4 (14:38):
An outstanding past, broken up by Tyron Matthews.
Speaker 3 (14:41):
People like they always saw the bunch Brady throwing over
the middle us picked off Tyrone Matthew.
Speaker 8 (14:47):
Come full of swagger. That's one of the better things
I've bring to the game.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
Oh, we love a highlight reel, especially if it's twelve
electric seasons worth, a Super Bowl championship and three Pro Bowls.
Our first guest today on GMFB announced back in July
that he was officially hanging up the CLEAs. We've miss
seeing him on the field, but he's been keeping busy
with family life, charity work, and a brand new pod
that we can't wait to hear more about. Welcome back
(15:13):
to gmf B former safety time about.
Speaker 8 (15:20):
Good morning, good morning, gosh.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
Good morning, good morning. The Honey Badger's five months into retirement.
How's your life these days? What do you fill your
days with?
Speaker 10 (15:29):
My friends, it's father good.
Speaker 8 (15:32):
You know, I'll keep it real with you guys.
Speaker 10 (15:34):
Obviously it's an adjustment, you know, going from doing something
you know, every day every second, you know, just living
breathing it to to really not having a lot to do.
And so thank God for my kids, they keep me busy.
And you know, obviously this game too, you know. I
think it's it's a beautiful thing that guy's able to
walk away from the game and still be a part
(15:56):
of it, whether it be coaching or TV. So that's
that that's been fun for me.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
I think it's important for you to keep it real
in that answer, honestly because it helps other guys who
are just entering retirement space and being like, well if
someone after twelve years says it's hard to make the adjustment.
Then that helps them as well. So I think that's important. Secondly, Tyron,
you know, we were all about Philip Rivers last week.
It was crazy to hear the news that he worked out,
that he signs the deal, he gets the start. What
(16:22):
did you make of Philip Rivers after five years a
forty four year old puts those things back on and
plays quarterback the way he did for the Colts in
Seattle last weekend.
Speaker 10 (16:31):
I mean, that's that's inspiring, you know, and it says
a lot about about players, right, just their ability to adapt.
And you know, I look over the course of my
football life and you know, I've come across so many
great teammates that just so many different, you know, unique
situations and they find a way to kind of rise
to it. And so I was definitely one of those
(16:52):
guys that was rooting for Philip, you know last week.
Obviously I didn't want anybody to fall on him too hard.
But other than that, you know, makes me proud, man,
because football players, they do have that adaptability and they
can they can maneuver through a lot of different circumstances.
Speaker 6 (17:11):
Yeah, they can maneuver your exactly right, bro, not only
on the field, but off of the field, especially with adversities.
And one of your former teammates, Patrick Mahomes. Are all
heartbroken to see him go down the way he did.
But number one, have you reached out Tom had any
kind of conversation with him? And number two, what is
your thoughts on how the twenty twenty five season ended
up for the Ken City Chiefs.
Speaker 10 (17:31):
Yeah, well, I think, you know, obviously, me and Patrick,
you know, we've always been close, you know, really since
my time in Case. You know, I think, you know,
the season didn't go the way that they wanted to go,
and I think those guys they've been doing so well
that I mean, it's this seems a bit strange, right,
but I actually think it's the time for these guys
to kind of reload and kind of retool, you know.
(17:54):
I felt like these guys have a lot of young
pieces that in my opinion, a lot of these guys
they may be the future, or they may be even
you know, they may lead to those guys.
Speaker 8 (18:04):
Get more assets right down the line.
Speaker 10 (18:06):
And so I'm just looking forward to seeing, you know,
how this team responds because this is their first bit
of adversity, you know, outside of losing the Super Bowl.
Speaker 8 (18:15):
Right, So I'm excited to see that.
Speaker 10 (18:18):
I'm excited to see who coach Reid and Spags and
just that whole organization rally around him and see what
these guys are able to bring back next season.
Speaker 9 (18:27):
Well Tyring, the reality of it is, the Chiefs are
not in the playoffs and we haven't seen this in years.
As everybody on TV is talking about, you're a football expert,
not only as a player, but now as you talk
about it, you're an expert of the game. Let's talk
about the AFC. What are you predicting for the AFC.
Who's the team you're watching? What do you think it's
going to look like?
Speaker 8 (18:46):
Oh man, he put me on the spot.
Speaker 10 (18:47):
I tell you, I tell you two teams I'm really
excited to see continue to play down the stretch.
Speaker 8 (18:53):
I think one of them is Denver.
Speaker 10 (18:55):
I think that team with Sean Payton and just the
confidence that those guys have, and you know, the confidence
that those guys are playing with. I think bo Nicks,
you know, his ability to just create nothing out of something.
I think that adds value, you know, down the stretch.
And then obviously they're playing great defense, right and then
(19:15):
another team for me is one of my one of
my old teams. I took a pit stop there for
like six months. Uh, you know, in between Arizona and
Kansas City, and uh, that'll probably be the Texans. I think.
I think the way that they play defense is scary,
you know, you know, just just hitting people like that,
and their ability to affect affect the game up front
(19:35):
and in the back end. I think their coverage and
rush uh, you know that ability there, I mean that
that that adds, that adds tremendous value, you know, down
the stretch. I don't think anybody want to play, you know,
either one of those teams.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
That's a good point that Texans have taken advantage of
the a f C South that was right for the taking. Tyron,
I want to ask you about a project that you've
been working on recently, and before I ask you, the
content on your new show.
Speaker 3 (19:59):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
Your podcast is called in the Bayou at Tyron Matthew. Uh,
I'm from Tyran. This is a question just to you.
I'm from Minnesota, but I covered SEC football for four
years and I learned a lot about SEC culture football.
Baton Rouge, little Village, Little Italy, the Italian restaurant and
Baton Rouge, like one of the best, one of my favorites.
(20:20):
Isn't it down the Bayou? Like, didn't I learn nothing
else but that it's called down the Bayou? Why is
it in the Bayou with Tyro about you?
Speaker 10 (20:28):
Well, because because you know, I guess you know, if
you kind of see where where my house at in particular,
I mean, were surrounded, you know by the water, and
we're just like right now middle of it.
Speaker 8 (20:37):
But you know, it's.
Speaker 10 (20:39):
Really it's really just me and my good friends from
high school, one of my best friends for you know,
fifteen years, and you know, we're just talking about everything
that Loisiana. You know, we're talking about sports, we're talking
about culture, and we're just we're actually really trying to
shine a positive light, you know, on Louisiana. And you know,
so outside of like the food and you know, all
(21:01):
the festivals and the Bourbon Street, there's a lot of
great people here. It's a lot of great cultures tradition here,
and we just want to be one of the one
of the few people that's highlighting that and kind of
pushing that forward.
Speaker 2 (21:12):
Well, it's great content, and I think it's important. Those
great shows are really well done when it is two
friends just sitting there talking about some of their favorite things.
But on your show in the Bayou, Tyer Matthew, you're
trying to you're trying to stand up for Tyler Shuck.
Can you make your case here on GMFB as to
why you people need to have the back of the
rookie quarterback.
Speaker 8 (21:32):
I mean, I just I just think it's so critical.
Speaker 3 (21:34):
You know.
Speaker 10 (21:34):
I think a lot of guys they show up right,
and they want to be a part of the community.
I think these guys want to be embraced by the community.
And you know, I guess it's up to us as
fans right to accept these guys and to root form
and support them. And I think Tyler is you know,
I think he's in a good situation. Obviously, he's part
of a great organization. And you know, I think his
(21:57):
ability to make plays and we was talking about that
with both Nicks, right, just kind of making that out
of something, and you know, he has that right, and
he's been he's been kind of turning up each and
every week. You know, you can kind of see the
Saints putting more and more on his plate as the
season goes on, and so I'm excited to really see,
you know, how he finished this season out, but mostly
(22:17):
how they begin to kind of build around him going forward.
Speaker 8 (22:22):
I really do think, you know, I don't put them
on the level with Drew Brees.
Speaker 10 (22:25):
But I do think he could provide some type of spark,
you know, for New Orleans.
Speaker 6 (22:29):
All Right, Bro, you said takes something and put it,
take nothing to make something out of it. That kind
of embodies your entire career. I remember just watching at
LSU and you and I share being finalists for the Heisman.
Speaker 3 (22:41):
Trophy Award this year.
Speaker 6 (22:43):
There was an individual of Texas Tech, a linebacker that
I thought was worthy of at least being a finalist,
but he wasn't. He had seven force foremost and four interceptions.
He took the ball away for you. I got to
ask you on this show, Bro, what is it going
to take in your mind in your opinion a defender
winning the Heisman Trophy Award Because a lot of people
said that I should have wanted, But I always help people,
(23:04):
and I never said this on live television. I said, well,
if you think I should have wanted Tyrant should have
want it because that boy was just cold at all
aspects of the game of football. But in your mind,
what is it going to take, bro for a defender
to win that award?
Speaker 11 (23:19):
Oh?
Speaker 10 (23:19):
Man, I guess you're obviously, you know, a down offensive year,
you know, because I mean it's such an offensive sport, right,
Like people want to see offensive guys, uh, you know, uh,
they want to see these guys score touchdowns. And you know,
but from a defensive perspective, you know, if you go
back to like guys like Charles Woodson, right, those guys
were actually kind of you know, making plays on offense
(23:41):
as well. So I think, you know, who's ever in
that position. I think the head coach of that team
needs to kind of take into consideration like, hey, this
dude's having a hot hand on defense, maybe we need
to put him in some goal line packages and and
get him maybe you know, four or five easy touchdowns
on the one yard line, you know.
Speaker 8 (23:59):
So, but it is it's tough, man, It's tough.
Speaker 10 (24:02):
I feel like defenders they just have to you know,
you almost have to play you know, perfect, you know,
to even be to even be mentioned in the Heisman.
Speaker 8 (24:11):
But yeah, man, I think I.
Speaker 10 (24:12):
Think it comes down to coaches and and uh, you know,
just kind of putting these guys on the office, and
you know, still are some points.
Speaker 9 (24:19):
We love a good necessary, humble brag. This is for you,
Mantai and Tyr. And you're like, you have to play
perfect to even be considered I mean, my worst quality.
Speaker 3 (24:28):
I'm perfectionist.
Speaker 9 (24:31):
Real quick, tell us about everything you're doing in the community.
You just participated in an event, uh with Payaway.
Speaker 3 (24:37):
Just tell us a little bit about that.
Speaker 10 (24:39):
Yeah, So I mean every year, we uh, you know,
we uh we go in the community for Christmas and
we have a Christmas dinner and obviously, you know, we
partner with son of a Saint who provided the kids
and the families for us.
Speaker 8 (24:52):
And then obviously Pale Way. We partner with these guys.
Speaker 10 (24:55):
Actually our first year of partner with them, but they
actually helped us get the gifts, and so there's a
big wish list of gifts and obviously you gave them,
you know, some money for the holidays, uh, you know,
food and all that type of stuff. And you really
just want to set the table for these families, man,
because when I think about holiday season, I always think
about my grandmother and always think about family, I think
(25:17):
about good music, I think about you know, just good times,
and you want this for these people and so hopefully
we were able to kind of set that stage for
them to really have a blessed holiday season, because that's
what it's really all about.
Speaker 2 (25:31):
Tyrone. It's so amazing listening to you. Well, let's just
talk about your upbringing and where you grew up in
Louisiana whatnot. That that piece of artwork over your shoulder
is stunning. Just who is that and is it? I
have to assume it as by like a local artist
or something. It's so it's so eye catching.
Speaker 8 (25:45):
Yeah, well, so actually this is my daughter.
Speaker 10 (25:49):
A guy actually I don't I don't even know this kid, right,
like he just this is like this something special.
Speaker 8 (25:54):
But he like made this for me. I want to say,
maybe like two years ago.
Speaker 10 (25:58):
It was probably my second season in the UH in
New Orleans and yeah, he just like he's.
Speaker 8 (26:04):
Like had this picture for me and I was like,
you know that that's pretty that's pretty neat. So yeah,
I mean I found I found, I found a good
stots for.
Speaker 10 (26:14):
But yeah, that's my kids, right there were missing one.
Actually she wasn't born yet she's five months old.
Speaker 8 (26:19):
Congratulations, that's so so Yeah. We gotta when we've got
a photoshop for.
Speaker 2 (26:26):
That's what the holidays are for the updated family photo.
Tyron Matthew in the Bayou a Tyro Matthew. Everything that
you're doing for your native state, we love that for Louisiana.
We always love when you come on GMFB.
Speaker 3 (26:37):
Man.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
You really bring a lot to our table.
Speaker 8 (26:39):
Thank you. I appreciate you, guys.
Speaker 2 (26:41):
Holidays. Happy holidays, Tyron, Happy holidays.
Speaker 3 (26:47):
G m FB Radio coming to you live from New
York City.
Speaker 1 (26:49):
I am about one block in Lower Manhattan from the
legendary w f A n radio where sometimes the callers
carried the hosts. Let's hope that happens today because we
have real live callers going to be live here on
NFL Network and Roku and all our wonderful affiliates.
Speaker 3 (27:03):
Right now, let's go to the phones.
Speaker 1 (27:05):
The question is with let's see nine days until Christmas,
what do you want Santa Claus to deliver your team?
You can pick anything you want. It could be something funny,
it can be something serious.
Speaker 3 (27:18):
Just make it something passionate.
Speaker 1 (27:20):
For our first call, we go to the Great State
of Kansas, Casey, in Kansas a Viking span. You have
thirty seconds, Casey, what do you want for Christmas?
Speaker 12 (27:29):
The only Christmas present? I want Tonder Tree Kyles for
the Minnesota Vikings to absolutely destroy the Motor City Kitties
on Christmas Days. I want them to kick Big Dog
Dayan Campbell square in the face and knock out those teeth,
which we all know would be a Christmas present for him.
I want the Minnesota Vikings to leave absolute carnage all
(27:50):
over the field and send those bitty kitties back to
the animal shelter. And Christmas it's a white out game
in the True North. I've been a good girl this year.
Speaker 5 (28:00):
Santa, please deliver you Charlie.
Speaker 3 (28:05):
Casey.
Speaker 1 (28:07):
The only part of that I don't believe is that
you've been a good girl this year.
Speaker 3 (28:10):
Casey.
Speaker 1 (28:10):
I feel like you're evil in a great way. I
like your style. I feel like you're.
Speaker 3 (28:15):
More Grinch in who Bill than Santa Claus the North Pole.
That was great.
Speaker 1 (28:19):
Nicknames Dan Campbells getting kicked in the teeth and.
Speaker 3 (28:22):
He was like that. I liked that. The Bikings fans
are fired up? Are you fired up? About nine? Casey?
She's gone. But I'm just asking rhetorically. I feel like
she is Casey. Love you, absolutely love you.
Speaker 13 (28:31):
Next.
Speaker 1 (28:32):
Oh, yes, another one, Peggy and Florida has got to
take Peggy and Florida Bill San Peggy, what do you
want Santa Claus to bring the Buffalo Bills?
Speaker 14 (28:41):
Well, of course I want the first ever Super Bowl
victory for the Buffalo Bills. But I think this is
the year for Buffalo, and not just for the fans
and the fact that it's the last year of High
March Stadium or what everybody calls the RALF You're in Buffalo, Yeah,
but also for Josh Allen. He loves Buffalo. It's a
great year for him. He got the MVP, he got married,
(29:03):
he has a babe, yeh the way, And this would
camp off his year really wonderfully. And Dunstan Naxos will
just take a baby. So I wanted to camp up
his year as well.
Speaker 1 (29:13):
Peggy, all good cheer coming for you. I wonder is
this the year? Do you feel it in your bones
that this year is different? We'll find out. It's very,
very exciting. This is the last year in this stadium.
Speaker 3 (29:25):
There's babies coming, there's football. Is it good?
Speaker 1 (29:28):
Enough to win a Lombardi Trophy. Got it would hate
the Bills major of the Super Bowl loss for the
fifth time in a row.
Speaker 3 (29:33):
I don't even want to put that out there, Peggy,
I love you. Merry Christmas.
Speaker 1 (29:35):
Next, okay, here we go, but go to a Bears
fan named Mike who is calling us from Tennessee.
Speaker 3 (29:40):
Mike, what do you want Santa Claus to bring me?
First place? Chicago Bears? You're on the air.
Speaker 11 (29:44):
Absolutely, I need Santa to fulfill the prophecy.
Speaker 3 (29:48):
In order to have a prophecy, you need a profit.
Speaker 5 (29:51):
Week two, if anybody forgot fifty two.
Speaker 3 (29:54):
To twenty one blowout from the line.
Speaker 11 (29:56):
Ben Jonson goes to the press conference and says, we'll
be playing our best football in December.
Speaker 3 (30:01):
We've seen the good, we've seen the better.
Speaker 5 (30:03):
It's time for our best football in December. First place NFC.
I'll be there Saturday.
Speaker 3 (30:08):
My girlfriend's from Aurora.
Speaker 5 (30:09):
Shout out Wayne's World.
Speaker 8 (30:11):
Go Chicago Bears.
Speaker 3 (30:12):
Great call. Shout out Wayne's World.
Speaker 1 (30:14):
The Algar and Cambell families live there, as well as
Mike's girlfriend from Aurora. These callers are good, they're they're
composed normally.
Speaker 3 (30:22):
I've done a lot of radio.
Speaker 1 (30:23):
The callers came in and they can't speak there. They're
falling all over themselves. Are terrible. These callers are more
composed and articulate than I am, and that's how I
want it.
Speaker 3 (30:31):
Next.
Speaker 1 (30:32):
Jim in Florida, a Dolphins fan. Oh, No, Dolphins played
last night. It did not look good. They lose to Pittsburgh. Jim,
what should Santa bring the Miami Dolphins organization?
Speaker 3 (30:42):
You're on the air. I want to.
Speaker 5 (30:43):
Wake up Christmas morning and see John Gruden under my
tree drawing up plays and he has his arm around
Joe Burrow wearing a beautiful seel Dolphins jersey. I'll give
up anything, U, Joe Burrow, give.
Speaker 8 (30:56):
Up two drafts.
Speaker 5 (30:57):
I don't care. Twenty five years, Carol, twenty five years,
they haven't won a playoff team. My kids have never
seen a playoff win. Sure, I know it's be loyal
to the soil, but it's getting so so hard. I
love the Dolphins, but he's not win without a quarterback.
Speaker 3 (31:13):
Pee Wee JAIMI feel you man.
Speaker 1 (31:18):
You have a quarterback I think is He is a
two hundred and fifteen million dollars deal and it's just
not working.
Speaker 3 (31:23):
I mean, they won a month in a row.
Speaker 1 (31:24):
They did, got to turn it around, but then last
night national television and the Colt Jim, I love you.
You should be ambitious with your Christmas wishes. I think
the Dolphins are more likely to win the Super Bowl
this year than John Gruden is going to be coaching.
Speaker 3 (31:36):
Joe Borr.
Speaker 1 (31:36):
If you're a team on Chris, I just don't think
it's going to be happening. I don't even think one
of them is going to be happening. But which big
Who am I to tell you? Jim, it's Christmas. I
asked for you what you want from Santa. It's a
good answer, all right. Josh in Arkansas, a Birds fan, Josh,
what should Santa Claus deliver to the world champion Philadelphia Eagles?
Speaker 11 (31:55):
You're on the air, Yeah, with any for Christmas? Is
a consistent and competent offense. And if you want to
throw in an offensive coordinator as well, that's fine too.
But I'm just never condone somebody losing their jobs. But
Kevin Patulo has done a whole lot to keep it.
And on the other hand, like AJ Brown is my
favorite receiver, my favorite player for the Eagles, But you
(32:16):
can't finish your lowcer and crap for the ball and
then turn into CD Lamb like last week and drop everything.
So we got us to be consistent. It's just all
over the place. You flip up a coin, you never
know what you're gonna get.
Speaker 1 (32:27):
With the Eagles, I love Eagles fans. I love you guys,
raigning World champs, winning record doing Okay, it's just still
miserable and fire everybody, and this and this and that
never change. Keep calling. I think we're out of time,
our executive producer, aren't we out of time?
Speaker 3 (32:47):
On? We we have six callers? I hear it in
my ear.
Speaker 1 (32:50):
Yes, kind of melancholy. All right, but let's go to
Inglewood guys who took six calls? Casey, Peggy, Mike, Jim.
Speaker 3 (32:56):
And Josh. Who was your favorite?
Speaker 1 (32:58):
I have my own favorite, but I want to hear
from you guys in Inglewood.
Speaker 2 (33:00):
Casey's not very Minnesota nice. I mean, you can tell
umbrolls out some barber some heat on those ribs if
you will. She lives in Kansas City, but she's a
Vikings fan and she has those kind of feelings about
Christmas Day. My gosh, she wants to put a lump
of cole on her Dan Campbell's tree. I love you Casey.
Well done with the with the with the hate.
Speaker 3 (33:17):
Yeah, I'm down to Mike and Casey. And Mike had
the prophecy take Casey for me.
Speaker 6 (33:21):
Casey bet Johnson on the prophet But come, James, I'm
jumping on the train. Because Casey had the Motor City Kitties,
Bitty City kitties. She had all of the one liners
KB like, how can you not love her?
Speaker 3 (33:33):
She had them with the Eddie Bitty kitties. Any great?
Speaker 9 (33:35):
It is crazy, bro, I'm gonna switch it up. No
one's talking about Jim. Jim just suddenly threw in there.
He said I would give up two drafts. I didn't
hear draft pack like that. It's like, we'll just forfeit
to hold the line up. Jim, what a lie back.
Speaker 3 (33:50):
I think everything we don't need it.
Speaker 7 (33:53):
Yeah, Jamie, I'm taking Casey. She talked with a level
of violence that kind of fired me up. And considering
that I want the Lions to lose to my Steelers
and she wants the line to lose. Her vikings sounds
like a party to me.
Speaker 3 (34:05):
I'm a little case I like it. You know what.
Speaker 1 (34:08):
I think it's cool about this segment today, and it
shows we got NFL fans all over the place. We
had an Eagles fan in Arkansas, we had a Bears
fan in Tennessee, a Bills fan in Florida, and a
Vikings fan in Kansas.
Speaker 3 (34:18):
That's my kind of transplant.
Speaker 1 (34:19):
You stick loyal to your team, and you know what's
very difficult to do in this segment is to go
wire to wire to be the first caller and still
be the best caller even though all the ones that
came after you were still good.
Speaker 3 (34:31):
Casey and Kansas.
Speaker 8 (34:32):
I love you.
Speaker 3 (34:34):
The whole cast loves you. You just won. The Viking's
gotta win, guys. I like it. I got another win.
Speaker 1 (34:40):
We got the quarterback gritting into the end zone, and
we got Casey and Kansas taking a victory lap. I
do think you're right, Isaac. Jim and Florida is saying
he will trade two entire drafts to get Doe Burrow
and John Gruden.
Speaker 3 (34:51):
Great, aim big. It's Christmas.
Speaker 1 (34:53):
You're supposed to dream big, Okay, you want big things
under the tree.
Speaker 2 (34:56):
Yes, Kyle Casey in Kansas is staring down. I feel
like she was staring and holding her phone like like
nine dollars to the camera on his way in in
the locker room. You know what I mean, Like I
feel like JJ McCarthy and Casey have the same kind
of intensity about life.
Speaker 13 (35:09):
Yeah. Yeah, that's how Casey was calling like this. Yeah
that's MFP Radio. Start calling for next week already. The
lines are standing by. What do you want your team
to bring? What your New Year's resolution, doesn't matter.
Speaker 3 (35:20):
We'd love you. Thanks for calling, Thanks for being better
than the host. See you next week.
