Kyle, what is one thing that you are looking forward
to this first hour on a Wednesday.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
I'm looking forward to whiteboard Wednesday because we're talking about
our favorite Thanksgiving tradition outside of football for us, and
we have great football tomorrow. But if you've been following
the show for years, you know tonight is a very
special holiday in the United States of America. I'll be
talking about shortly, Mike. You celebrate this holidays. You know
what I'm talking about.
Speaker 4 (00:45):
Coming home from college and going to the bars.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
Might be anti We got to talk about some things
with you, my friend. But Jamie, should we start the
show first?
Speaker 5 (00:53):
Mean?
Speaker 3 (00:53):
Fine, twist my arms. Let's do it.
Speaker 5 (00:56):
Let's go.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
Welcome to Good Morning Football, presented by Old Trapper. That's right,
GMFP on Wednesday, everybody, Jamie, Manti, Mike g and Kyle.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
Who wants to go first?
Speaker 2 (01:20):
Who in New York would like to just get into
it for us?
Speaker 1 (01:23):
On?
Speaker 2 (01:23):
Behalf of the three people that are not named Manti
at this table.
Speaker 3 (01:27):
Key, you're nodding, go ahead, go ahead, I.
Speaker 5 (01:30):
No, I want to do it. Max, behalf because I walked.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
Into the studio here in New York City this morning.
You can even keep it on Mike's camera.
Speaker 5 (01:35):
I don't care. It's all about Mike.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
I walk in, Mike is in a panic, and Mike's
usually a pretty cool customer, and Mike is sweating, and I'm.
Speaker 5 (01:42):
Like, what's wrong, Mike? What's wrong? Is there's something wrong
at home?
Speaker 1 (01:44):
He's like, Oh, I'm just so relieved that you're not
dressed up in a three piece suit or a tuxedo
because Anti Tao is dunking on everybody this morning.
Speaker 5 (01:51):
You thought it was fancy day?
Speaker 6 (01:52):
I did.
Speaker 4 (01:53):
And Jamie's got her sparkle on too as well. I'm like,
did I miss a memo?
Speaker 5 (01:58):
They forgot a vow to filly get you guys?
Speaker 4 (02:01):
Look, I did make the analogy to Kyle before we
came out. I said, it looks like Mantai, like, think
about three sisters and we've been married to two of
them for a while. And then here's the new boyfriend
showing up her. Thanks, Oh yeah, you passed me a beard?
Speaker 5 (02:14):
Dude? What do you think of the new guy? Yeah?
That's great?
Speaker 1 (02:16):
What do you think of these sweatpants? Somewhere literally a listen,
we can talk all about it. And nobody's looking at
anything in this for shot, right, no other than the
pie over Jamie's shoulder, which is absolutely handsome, beautiful, looks delicious.
Speaker 5 (02:28):
Manti.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
Do you want to make a confession though, aside from
the pie, that as much as you love your NFL
media brothers and sisters, you're dressing up because your fancy
bosses from Netflix are watching.
Speaker 7 (02:37):
Right.
Speaker 8 (02:38):
Come on, Kyle, you know this. This is our favorite
Tomorrow is our favorite holiday. So I came in a
Holidays spirit a little bit. You know, we got Maja
later on in this show, so I had to dress
Maja as well, and so I asked Jamie when I
first came into the into the building, I say, Jame,
what's the vibe? She said, sweater? This is what I heard.
I heard suited and booted. And I came ready to roll. Guys,
that's what I from dress is.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
What I heard, my Lord, and then I had to
put a bow in my heart just to elevate it.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
A little bit.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
Gosh, Kyle, you want to cover your favorites part of
today later on whiteboard Wednesday?
Speaker 3 (03:09):
Or how do you want to handle this business?
Speaker 4 (03:10):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (03:11):
Doing whiteboard now.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
My favorite part was Mantai walking into his wardrobe this
Morning's like what should I wear? And he heard that Netflix,
but he's like, Ooh, I'm gonna go with the good stuff.
And I don't blame it. You guys look fantastic.
Speaker 3 (03:21):
Oh, thank you very much, as do you? As do you.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
It's a team effort here on GMFB. And with that,
we got to talk about the games tomorrow, shall we?
Speaker 3 (03:28):
The Chiefs and the Cowboys.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
Get set to square off on Thanksgiving Day, two teams
coming off big time wins in week twelve, and yesterday,
Dak Prescott and Patrick Mahomes spoke to the media about
what it means for them to plan on Thanksgiving Day.
Speaker 9 (03:42):
It's a blessing and some that I never never take
for granted, putting on them specially, you know, since we
went back to the throwback uniforms. It just brings me
back to being a kid and watching you know, the
Cowboys every Thanksgiving, going outside playing with my brothers after
we ate, we're during halftime or whatever it may be.
And so just to think about all the other families
and kids and people out there that are watching us,
and that we can inspire and just by the way
(04:03):
that we play the game and just want to go
out there and win, and as I said, inspire would
just the way we take the film.
Speaker 6 (04:09):
Obviously, you grew up watching Thanksgiving games, no matter who
you're a fan of, if it's the Lions, Cowboys, or
whoever's playing at night. I mean, you grew up watching
those games. And so I think as that kid in
me wants to be able to go out there and
play on Thanksgiving and find a way to win and
against a really good football team and the whole world watching,
all right.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
I not a ton of history here.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
The only two times, the only time these two teams
have faced each other on Thanksgiving was back in nineteen
ninety five a Cowboys Heyday if you will. Cowboys beat
that Chiefs team twenty four to twelve, and at that time,
Dallas head coach Brian Schottenheimer's father, Marty, was the head
coach in Kansas City. That's a very nice family that
all connects us on Thanksgiving, Man, TI think about current
(04:51):
day matchup though, Cowboys Chiefs.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
What do you got?
Speaker 8 (04:53):
Well, First, they're both coming off a huge wins, probably
the biggest wins of the season for both of them. However,
I'm going to look at the Chiefs and I'm going
to look at Patrick Mahomes when you watch them the past,
at least for this year, I see if Patrick that's
his timing is a little quicker he's going and Antoni
Romo said a lot last week on the broadcast, it
seems like he's going through his progressions too fast.
Speaker 5 (05:14):
Now.
Speaker 8 (05:14):
I also empathize with Patrick Mahomes because not too long
ago in the Super Bowl, the guy was getting hit
every single every single angle. And for the first seven
games of this year he had an average time to
His average time to throw was a little over two seconds.
That's not a lot of time. Now, from weeks week
eight on to this current moment, he's been able to
(05:35):
hold the ball for a little over three seconds. But
people have to understand when you've been hit so many
times that clock in your brain, that little rhythm that
tells you that.
Speaker 5 (05:43):
Hey, I got to get this ball out. It's still there.
Speaker 8 (05:46):
So I hope that going into this game against the Cowboys,
they do like to run zone. They actually run zone
at the fourth highest clip in the NFL. But in
the event that they do run man for Patrick Mahomes
to be a little bit more patient, let those routes
develop for him, because the past few weeks you could
see him get off of routes and get off of
receivers a little too fast, and all of a sudden
(06:08):
they come open, but he missed them because he's doing this,
he's scrambling a lot. So just be patient, Mike Gee,
let the game come to him, and if he does,
I think he's going to play his team in the
best position to win.
Speaker 4 (06:18):
Yeah, that side of the ball is gonna be fascinating,
especially if what happens on the other side of the
ball plays to the chief strength. Because that's what I'm
looking at here. I'm looking at strength against strength. I'm
looking at the top rank Cowboys passing offense against this
Chiefs defense, the Chiefs defense overall sixth in the NFL
right now, and the cornerbacks for the Kansas City Chiefs.
(06:38):
Trent McDuffie, obviously, we've talked a ton about him. You
want to hear a game analyst gush about Trent McDuffie,
you'll hear plenty of that. But Jalen Watson, the guy
on the other side, has been intriguing to me this year.
He's a seventh round pick back in twenty twenty two.
He is playing extremely well, and back in twenty twenty
two he signed a rookie deal that was four years,
three point seven million dollars with an eighty five thousand
(07:00):
dollars signing bonus. Jalen Watson in the near future is
going to be signing a.
Speaker 5 (07:06):
Much, much bigger deal.
Speaker 4 (07:07):
When I talk to folks in Kansas City, they say
he is tackling better. He's playing with better instincts against
the run. In the past, when we lost la Jerius Sneid,
it was a big hole opposite McDuffie on the other side,
and now he has really filled that hole tremendously and
done a really good job. He's got the length of
the speed, he can play press, he can play off,
he can tackle. He's doing everything he's gonna have to do.
(07:29):
This against the Cowboys wide receivers on both sides of
the ball. Look, you know how much I love Steve Spagnola.
I've talked about him plenty. David Merritt is a longtime
assistant for Steve Spagnolo as well. Coaches the defensive backs.
I've known him since he coached them with the Giants
twenty years ago. He has done a fantastic job bringing
along young guys. Jalen Watson is one of those, and
he's got cash into well.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
I'm going to talk about something he's going to be
chasing around because I feel like there's a different emphasis
when you watch Thanksgiving football. You want someone do You
want to watch players who are not only really good
at football. Also, I think you want some entertainment quotion.
You want to have some fun. There's people watching football
who don't always watch football like we do. And I
have front row seats for George Pickens.
Speaker 5 (08:07):
You guys know this.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
I am so excited to watch him against this Chiefs team.
Speaker 5 (08:10):
There's a lot of things to.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
Peel back about Pickens, but the first and most important
one is this trade has been a massive success. When
you go back and do trade grades, it's an A.
It might even be an A plus. Understand what he's
done on the football field in the NFL this year.
There are two one thousand yard receivers right now. One
of them is Jackson Smith and Jigma. The other is
George Pickens. Average yards per catch number one is Jackson
(08:35):
Smith and Jigma. Number two is George Pickens. Yards per
game number one is Jackson Smith and Jigma.
Speaker 5 (08:40):
Number two is George Pickens.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
George Pickens and Jackson Smith and Jigma have a catch
of fifty yards in six games this year. It's incredible.
You know what's the most incredible part. I just made
up that stat and you're like, yeah, I believe it.
That's not true at all. They don't have six catches
of fifty yards. That's ludicrous. Nobody has that.
Speaker 5 (08:57):
But you would believe it if I told you. And
here's the thing.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
That's really really cool about George Pickens. He comes in
and he was probably sat down and George, we got
CD over there. He's gonna take all the coverage. You're
just gonna cook. You're gonna run up huge numbers. You're
gonna be incredible. The twist was ceed gets hurt, Ceedy
gets out early, in the season, in the three games
in which CD was gone, and Pickens is like, you're
the man now with Dak who you barely know. In
(09:22):
three games he had three hundred and fifty nine yards
and four touchdowns. That is when he came into his own.
And here's the best part. We haven't had, as the
kids call the crashouts. There have been no fights. There
have been no this there, it hasn't happened.
Speaker 5 (09:37):
Now.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
There have been three personal fouls. I'm not gonna say
it's been absolutely beautiful. There's been some things, but it's
like he got a personal foul, like a flag for
jumping on the goal post. Like, we'll take that in
the context of Pickens, fine, the other ones were maybe
playing a little too hard, unnecessary. It doesn't necessary that
the football has been excellent. The I hate to say
(09:59):
it's a patronizing word, but the behavior has been doable.
We'll take it. It's been a massive success. And CD
hasn't even really got locked in yet. If you're looking
for something fun to watch on the football field tomorrow,
watch Pickings for the Cowboys. It's been so great and
I have all positive things to say about It's been
really cool.
Speaker 4 (10:16):
If I said to you back when he was became
a offer me a deal, and I said to you,
he's going to miss the bus and be sat for
a series, going to have three the three personal time
that What would you have said about that?
Speaker 1 (10:28):
I'll take it all day. Just missing a bus. He's
not driving the bus and like missing the bus and
three personal files through Thanksgiving.
Speaker 5 (10:37):
Sign me up. I think there's a win. And they're there.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
They're sweet personal files. It's not like the bad stuff. Okay,
I don't mind it much.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
It's not like it's a good ced and Georgia or
Chanu and Sandra Bullock on speed like trying to manage
a situation on the highway. It's not like that.
Speaker 3 (10:52):
No, we don't want that, Kyle.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
What you also don't want to your point though, is
for that crash out, if it ever does happen, don't
have it happen at the holidays, you know, don't have
it to have it at Thanksgiving dinner or the Cowboys
play on Christmas Day like none.
Speaker 3 (11:04):
Just have it be like a regular.
Speaker 5 (11:06):
Week opposite a crash out.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
In fact, I'm gonna call my shot here. I know
this is very very naughty and frowned upon and we
hope it doesn't happen.
Speaker 5 (11:14):
The Salvation Army kettle. I'm picking stumping in.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
That kettle, all right, He's gonna jump in that kettle
if you have to draft the team. And by the way,
we should probably do it a cowboy who is most
likely to be in the kettle. We have the Jones
family coming on later and Jerry and Charlotte, we can
ask them. And I know it's very naughty and it's
a terrible thing to do, and don't jump in that
kettle no matter what you do, even though it brings
attention to the Salvation Army.
Speaker 5 (11:33):
Don't do it. But I think if someone does do it,
I think it'll be George picks.
Speaker 3 (11:37):
And more would be donated on behalf. It's perfect.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
We're gonna have to pick those guys later and we
will talk to the Jones family, as Kyle mentioned. But
let's keep pulling at this matchup, shall we.
Speaker 3 (11:45):
Let's go playoff talk.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
As we look at the AFC and NFC playoff picture,
get that bird flying through the air stamp on a football.
Speaker 3 (11:52):
Patriots still hold the left side of the screen.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
Most wins so far in the regular season for any
team in the NFL at ten. What your eye goes
to on both of these screens for this matchup is
a fact that the Chiefs still on the outside looking in.
They are firmly in the lurking column, as is on
the NFC side the Dallas Cowboys.
Speaker 3 (12:12):
Star they're in the same spot. They are both right
now the ten seeded team of the AFC.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
AFC, and look at how much we're going twelve minutes
deep on Chiefs Cowboys. Man, TI, here's the question yep,
who would you want to see more in the playoffs?
Speaker 3 (12:25):
You only get to pick one. Chiefs are Cowboys.
Speaker 8 (12:27):
I think, knowing the track record, knowing the history and
the excellence of the Chiefs, I would want to go
against the Chiefs. Like if I win the AFC, I
want to play the Chiefs because I think with knowing
how many years in a row these guys have been
to the Big Dance. I mean, if the Chiefs aren't
in the playoff picture and I just happened to win,
I'm an AFC team and I happen to win the
(12:48):
Super Bowl, I'm still going to look at the super
Bowl like, man, I'm a super Bowl champion. But there's
always going to be that thought in my mind of
like if that man and the Chiefs were in.
Speaker 5 (12:56):
The playoff, what would that look like.
Speaker 8 (12:58):
It's almost like a double merit badge for me, Like
if I beat the Chiefs in the playoff and win
the Super Bowl, so Mike ge for me.
Speaker 5 (13:05):
I would want to see the Chiefs.
Speaker 4 (13:07):
Both of these teams would be entertaining in January. Would
make for good matchups, make for good conversation here. But
think about if the Cowboys made the playoffs already two
in a row, six games left at least four, if
they're going to make it to the postseason, So we
be talking potentially about a red hot Cowboys team, and boy,
the chirpin that there would be in this This.
Speaker 5 (13:29):
Is what I want to see.
Speaker 4 (13:31):
I want to see the rematch, and I want to
see it in Lambeau this time.
Speaker 5 (13:35):
I need the Packers.
Speaker 4 (13:36):
You're gonna have to probably win the division if we're
gonna see this message.
Speaker 5 (13:38):
They gotta get there, get on up.
Speaker 4 (13:40):
And I want to see Micah Parsons against Jerry Jones
in the postseason. We all thought the Cowboys were dead
as soon as the trade was made, and then again
into the season. Boy, what a theater that.
Speaker 5 (13:53):
Was we need that.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
And yet I've been saying I feel so good about
this Cowboys team and all the vibes are positive, and
it would be amazing if they were the come running
team that gets in the NFC playoffs. You gotta have
the Chiefs. I don't want the FC playoffs without the Chiefs.
And I'll tell you why. I look at someone like this,
and I've said this before.
Speaker 5 (14:10):
Bills Ravens.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
They get in, they get hot, they win the Super Bowl.
I'm not saying that like internet trolls are going to
put an asterisk on that super Bowl if they don't
beat the Chiefs. I'm saying I am going to That's
how that's going to be looked at. You have to
go through the Chiefs. And I'll put it I'm going
to piss some people off here, all right. In the nineties,
the Houston Rockets, God blessed their little hearts, won two
NBA Finals championships. I don't care. Many people don't care.
(14:34):
They didn't go through the big Man. What's most memorable
about their finals the Rockets is a Birmingham Baron and
a Buffalo Bill.
Speaker 5 (14:40):
Let's just put it that way. Okay, that is.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
Why they remember it, and he came Olajuan Kenny the
jet I love you. Michael Jordan was not there. Look,
I love it. You're going right through the suns. God
bless you. Michael Jordan is on a dusty bus driving
around somewhere for God knows what reasons.
Speaker 5 (14:55):
You did not go through the Bulls.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
And many people, myself included, look at those Rockets championships
and be like, yeah, but it was during the Jordan retirement,
Like does it really count?
Speaker 5 (15:03):
Houston?
Speaker 1 (15:03):
People hate that. They said, we would have beat the Bulls.
Who do you have to guard to LaJuan? We had
like three centers in eighteen files. They would have figured
it out, all right. My point is I need the
Chiefs in the playoff for someone to go through because
if it's this one weird year where they didn't make
the playoffs and the Bills or Ravens, whoever wins Super Bowls, like, eh,
you didn't beat Mahomes and Reed you never did. It's
(15:24):
very important that they're there to win it or to
be knocked out.
Speaker 3 (15:27):
What did you put in your coffee this morning?
Speaker 5 (15:28):
Kyle?
Speaker 3 (15:28):
I feel like he's on one roll.
Speaker 5 (15:31):
Have we met? I'm always on wine talking about Elfigo bro.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
That's true, but it also has something to do with
what's happening in Whiteboard Wednesday, which is the next segment.
Until then, Ian Rappaport, welcome into our beautiful, clean and
program that we talk about football and we don't try
to make anybody mad on you know. Kyle's like, oh,
I'm gonna piss people off with this take. Like the
fact that he led with that is fascinating in and
of itself.
Speaker 3 (15:52):
But here we are wrap sheet, they're.
Speaker 5 (15:54):
Muting his mike.
Speaker 3 (15:55):
He's like, yeah, yeah, I did that.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
The Chiefs are coming off that big win as we
mentioned over the Colts back in week twelve, but you
have injuries that we need to remain aware of before Thursday.
Speaker 10 (16:05):
Yeah, some good, some battle start with the good. Isaiah Pacheco,
the Kannisity Chiefs starting running back, is expected back this
week for the Kansas City Chiefs. Excellent, excellent new It's
been about a month since he has been out with
an mcl sprain. A welcome, welcome returner, and while he
was gone, there was certainly some developments in the Kennis
City Chiefs back with Kareem Hunt spent some time going
(16:26):
off Jarge Smith spent some time going off either way,
this is their guy. Pacheko being back for Thursday helps immensely.
On the other side, Trey Smith, their pro bowl guard,
one of the best guards in the NFL, stuffered sprains
to his ankle. Not when I say sprains, I mean
sprains one high ankle, one long ankle. Two sprains, one ankle.
(16:46):
Expected to be out for Thursday against the Chiefs and
then for the Pittsburgh Steelers, who did not have Aaron
Rodgers last week.
Speaker 5 (16:54):
Maybe you heard about it.
Speaker 8 (16:55):
It was a little bit of a story.
Speaker 5 (16:56):
We made a whole thing about it.
Speaker 10 (16:57):
And then comes Sunday churned out.
Speaker 3 (16:59):
He did not play.
Speaker 10 (17:00):
He's expected to miss just one game. Mike Tomlinson is
full confidence. Aaron Rodgers is expected back this week. So
with a fractured left wrist, Rogers misses just one all.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
Right, good to know, rap, She appreciate you, thankful for
you before it. Very nice suit. Don't try to justify
your suit with his suit. He's always in a suit. Okay,
you came to play with your sport code. We were
not prepared. Ten of the sixteen teams in the AFC
have a winning record, so we're asking this.
Speaker 3 (17:25):
Very tough question. I hope you're all prepared.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
Which of the potential playoff teams in that conference do
you trust the most?
Speaker 3 (17:31):
Right now?
Speaker 11 (17:32):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (17:32):
No, Kyle, I trust Manti to say he's going to
go casual Wednesday as much as I trust a certain
team in the AFC.
Speaker 1 (17:39):
Well, you trusted a major storyline that's coming out of
the Pacific Northwest this season. Guys, that's a very formal
bump I'm reading. And Jackson Smith and Jigula is just
dominating in the NFL. Would you still call him the
best wide receiver.
Speaker 5 (17:53):
In the NFL though right now? Or is it someone else?
Speaker 1 (17:55):
He has the best numbers, he's having the best season.
Speaker 5 (17:57):
Does he have the strap? Manti's got thoughts on this later?
Speaker 2 (18:10):
Good mon Football Tiper wait for Wednesday on GMFB. Lamar
Jackson hurt his toe in the first quarter of Sunday's
win over the Jets. He missed Monday's walk through, but
he practiced on Tuesday and is set to start tomorrow
night against the Bengals. Ravens head coach John Harbaugh says
even though Jackson isn't putting up his normal eye popping stats,
he's still playing winning football.
Speaker 12 (18:32):
We've had some key drives in the in the at
the end of the game, second half and fourth quarter
that have been have been game winners for us AN offense.
So it's like, well, you know, you may be referring
to you know, quote unquote gaudy stats and things like that,
but how about the fourth quarter stats? You know, I
think Lamar's got a one forty four quarterback grading in
the fourth quarter when the game needs to be one
(18:53):
and that's when these games have need to have needed
to be won in the last three, four, five weeks.
So that's probably the most important stat And so that's
that's what I see.
Speaker 3 (19:03):
That's pretty cool.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
They went down to the final frame and they found
out Manti Lamar's fourth quarter trustworthiness. So, yere we go,
what AFC team do you have your eyeballs on as
you consider the fact that we just don't know what's
what in that conference?
Speaker 3 (19:17):
Who do you trust the most right now? Mansid?
Speaker 8 (19:20):
This may be just an easy answer, but I got
to go with the Patriots. That Patriots is the team
that I trust. Why because when I look at all
three phases of this game, they're very very strong offensively, defensively,
special teams. Drake May He's very efficient, he doesn't make
a lot of mistakes, and he seems very poisoned there.
They have a whole bunch of weapons that he just
kind of picks his flavor that day. I'm gonna go
(19:42):
to Diggs, I'm going to go to Pop Douglas. I'm
going to go to Booty, I'm going to go to
Treyvon Henderson. He just has a different flavor every week.
And then they have Mike Rabel. Mike Rabel's been there,
done that. I don't see a team that when they
get laid into this season, which some teams do, they
start to fall apart, fall apart and break apart. So
I got the New England Patriots, Mike gi I think
(20:02):
they're the ones that I trust the most.
Speaker 4 (20:04):
Denver Broncos right now, give me the retro logo, why
not done worse?
Speaker 5 (20:09):
Pretty good? Pretty good?
Speaker 4 (20:12):
And I sort of no team is complete right now,
so it's tough to answer that question. But give me
the one that's making the plays in the fourth quarter.
Give me the one that's making the comebacks against the
like the Giants to showing the Chiefs game. They certainly
outplayed them in the fourth quarter and did what they
need to do to win the game right now, and
they're coming on right now into what I.
Speaker 5 (20:33):
Eight game winning streak right now.
Speaker 4 (20:35):
Yeah, I have to take Denver Broncos right now on
a by getting that late by rest.
Speaker 5 (20:40):
I like the answer. It all makes sense. You just
do the rundown.
Speaker 1 (20:43):
The Patriots have a quarterbacks and never been in a
playoff game. The Bills were a lot of things. Trustworthy
is not one of them. We talked about Lamar, Indianapolis Colts,
Daniel Jones, the Broncos.
Speaker 5 (20:51):
Bo Nix is a radic. The Chargers are the Chargers.
Speaker 1 (20:54):
Still, when things are all crazy, you have to go
with a trusted I'm right asked out right here, guys,
I'm putting up a six and five team. It just
feels a little bit right now like the stock market
and this is Sears Roebuck. This is just like this
is the thing that your grandma gave you at twenty
dollars savings bond.
Speaker 5 (21:11):
Four for your first communion and you've just held onto it.
Speaker 1 (21:14):
And it's not sexy and it's not particularly robust right now,
but I still believe they're.
Speaker 5 (21:21):
Going to be there. I think they're.
Speaker 1 (21:22):
Gonna never mind. I'll came my prediction for tomorrow until later.
But I got to go with the Chiefs because there's
no one else I fall in love with.
Speaker 5 (21:29):
You go with the trusted brand, old Uncle Sam.
Speaker 2 (21:32):
That piece of paper still holds such value that you
got on your first community.
Speaker 3 (21:35):
You know, it's tattered and it's aged. I get it.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
Next up, let's take another look at this reaction from.
Speaker 3 (21:42):
The Eagles over the weekend. I'm talking about Jake Elliott
to Cooper de Gene getting.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
A pass interference call on CD LAMB. That's Jake Elliott,
their kicker. He's money to ignore, Sirianni. Okay, look at
Jake Elliott and pick a storyline in the NFL right now,
MANSI that has you making the Jake Elliott face?
Speaker 8 (22:01):
Well, I got when I look at the six middle teams, Okay,
when I look at the Chargers, yeah, the wild Cards,
I look at the lurk and call them in the AFC.
That's the that's the thing that makes me make that face.
Why because if you look at all of these teams,
right the Charges of Jacks and the Bills, they're all
seven and four. But then the Texans who are outside
(22:22):
the Steelers who are outside, and the Chiefs are all
six and five, and there's a combination going into the
last six games of the season where these guys.
Speaker 5 (22:29):
Play each other.
Speaker 8 (22:30):
So I'm gonna be tuned into every single game like that.
I'm going to have that expression on my face because
any one of these games could jump these guys here
and these there's gonna be a whole bunch of moving parts.
And so that's the whole storyline in dynamic that makes everything.
Speaker 2 (22:45):
But you're born down and make that face right into
the camera.
Speaker 3 (22:48):
Yeah there you go. Okay, good grab grab it social Okay, yeah,
very much.
Speaker 4 (22:53):
Go ahead, Jan Mike, right now, I must be in
a record of move. This is the retro Bears logo,
which is one of the The blue Bears hat with
the orange retro b is one of my favorite heads
in the NFL. Jake Elliott and the Eagles are playing
the Bears on Friday, Black Friday. I'll be there covering
woor NFL Network Hi five covertovers dude, and this is
(23:15):
the you know all the Bears fattened up against the
self schedule, Well, here it comes, Here comes the gauntlet,
and potentially if they win this game, move themselves to
nine and three, and instead of saying like, oh, which
team is going to overtake the Bears, It's gonna be like,
which team could potentially challenge the Bears as the top
of the NFC North?
Speaker 5 (23:33):
And if that happens, Jake Elliott, a lot.
Speaker 4 (23:35):
Of folks in Philadelphia and a lot of folks around
the league are gonna be like.
Speaker 5 (23:39):
This Bears team is for real. Ben Johnson's done it.
Good call. See it's a good call. It's a great call.
I'll see there in front of like, I'm fired up.
Black Ian Rappaport too. He is going to yeah party
Wonderfu'll be on the same train. All right.
Speaker 1 (23:51):
Okay, So Jake Elliott, what is making him make that face?
Jake Elliott's been in the league nine years, Like he
has seen it. Jake Elliott was there for the past,
the Nick Foles in the Super Bowl.
Speaker 5 (24:02):
He's seen some things.
Speaker 1 (24:03):
Why are we what'd be so stunned by Joe Burrow's back?
Hell yeah, baby, let's ride. I am into this. We
need Joe Burrow here, perfect because Joe Burrow looks like
Kevin mccowister, and that's the Kevin McCallister.
Speaker 5 (24:13):
Look, we need Joe Burrow. We love Joe Burrow.
Speaker 1 (24:15):
Of all our thirty two flavors in this ice cream
parlor we work at, the Joe Burrow is one of
the tastiest flavors. They like him, hate him, win loss.
We need him out there. I had all on I
need from Joe Flacko in the Bengals. Thank you, Joe Flacka.
We respect your service. We'll see you on the Steelers
next year. I want some Joe Burrow back out there.
And people are like, he shouldn't be playing. The Bengals
are terrible, the record's terrible, and Joe Burrow's like, I
(24:37):
don't believe in being healthy and not being out there.
I think we're good with the Jake. I'm trying to
make a point. Get this out of here. I don't
know what he's doing. I'm excited for Joe Burrow and
we get to see him tomorrow. Tomorrow night against the Bravens.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
Real authentic emotion out of Jake Elliott.
Speaker 3 (24:48):
The confusion on the Cooper de Jen call. But Kyle,
I get it. The Joe Burrow experience, it is alive
and well.
Speaker 2 (24:54):
On Thanksgiving, speaking of as Kyle just mentioned with Thanksgiving tomorrow,
Joe Burrow was asked about his Thanksgiving memories as a
wee boy as an adult, and there's one quarterback that
actually came to mind for Burrow.
Speaker 3 (25:08):
Take listen.
Speaker 11 (25:09):
I think just like a lot of kids, you you
grow up going through Thanksgiving, you have your meals with
your family, and then you go and sell on the
couch and typically there's not a lot on except football.
Back in the day, it was Lions and somebody. You
go watch Matthew Stafford throw for three hundred and four
hundred some yards with Calvin Johnson and probably lose the game,
(25:30):
but it was fun to watch.
Speaker 3 (25:34):
Why do you have to do the Lions thirty like that?
It's right? He is right historically speaking, that is accurate. Manti.
Speaker 2 (25:40):
Okay, everybody buckle up football aside. Ye, okay, don't take
down the Stafford Lions right now. What's your favorite Thanksgiving tradition?
Speaker 3 (25:47):
Mantai?
Speaker 8 (25:48):
So, my favorite Thanksgiving is Thanksgivings on a Thursday. What
we would do is we'd eat, take a break, and
then eat again, and whatever is left, we'd pack it up,
but we'd leave it at my parents' house because we'd
all go back over again on Friday to eat the leftover.
So my favorite tradition was warming up the leftovers on
the Friday after to watch the second slate of games
(26:09):
on the NFL Games on Friday.
Speaker 5 (26:11):
So this was something.
Speaker 8 (26:12):
I always thought that Thanksgiving meal tasted better the next
day anyway. So our favorite tradition was to meet back
at mom and Dad's house, all the siblings, all the cousins,
and then have the dinner again.
Speaker 3 (26:24):
Very good marinated flavors.
Speaker 8 (26:26):
Yeah, yeah, I thought you.
Speaker 4 (26:28):
I grew up in a heavy Italian neighborhood in South Philly,
and I would say ninety percent of the households down
there had a pasta course before all the turkey and
everything like that, which I never understood because you can
eat that all year round, and then why eating lasagna
after you know, turkey and seven hundred sides. So what
we had in my house was my grandmother's soup. What
(26:49):
kind of soup? It doesn't even have a name. Really
there it is right there, okay. It is a baked
egg and meatball soup. We used to call it just
holiday soup because you would get it on Thanksgiving and
you'd get it on New year's and my aunt Gene
has taking it over over since my grandmother passed away.
There was one year right up the bat she used
low sodium broth and we're like no, no, no, no, no
(27:10):
no no, we need unleaded. That's not how it's made.
In fact, I'm probably giving away too many secrets here.
If I tell you the recipe here, you know, the
old I'd have to kill you, which we don't want
to do because frankly, the killing and Thanksgiving we eliminated
a couple hundred years ago, which is right.
Speaker 5 (27:25):
We like peaceful thanksgivings.
Speaker 4 (27:26):
But now she'll make it only on Thanksgiving, so you
get it just once a year. I'm telling you, this
stuff is fantastic right here, this fight's over it. Like
my uncle goes to my aunt's side for Thanksgiving, and
there were arguments one year about should he get any
because he's not here, like you want it, you gotta
be here on Thursday.
Speaker 5 (27:46):
My wife loves it. They even make it gluten free
for her now so that she can eat it.
Speaker 4 (27:49):
In fact, she said to me one time, it was
like in mid March and she's like, I want to
make your grandmother soup. And I was like, no, no,
you can't do that.
Speaker 5 (27:57):
She's like, well why not, I want it?
Speaker 4 (27:59):
I said, Well, then you're going to wait eight months
just like the rest of us to get You're not
gonna make it in the middle of March.
Speaker 1 (28:04):
A right, what do they used to say, chunky stupid
soup that eats like a meal.
Speaker 5 (28:08):
Oh yeah, that's it's great.
Speaker 2 (28:10):
Yes, the yellow stuff in there, the baked egg.
Speaker 3 (28:13):
Portion of that, well, what's a big egg. That's the
big egg.
Speaker 4 (28:15):
Bake a whole sheet and then you cut it into squares. Right, yep, Egene,
we're gonna make millions.
Speaker 5 (28:21):
Right now, let's get let's get down and meatball.
Speaker 2 (28:24):
Man, that would sit well in your fridge. Here's here's
what happens in my house. You know, some people do
spring cleaning in a traditional white spring.
Speaker 3 (28:31):
They start the new year.
Speaker 2 (28:32):
They want to clean out their closet January second or
something like that. We in my house, we do fridge
clean up the night before Thanksgiving. Okay, so take everything out,
make it look like the thing on the right side, immaculate,
make space for what is about to come on Thursday.
Speaker 3 (28:49):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (28:49):
So it's like, get that old strawberry out of there
that fell out of the kids lunchbox. At some point,
there's something that smells in the back. You gotta put
the baking soda thing back in there, because this is
the fridge New Year in our house. Okay, so you
clean it out, you wipe it, you bleach it, you
make room or the holiday soup, the what have you.
People are gonna bring things over. You're gonna put the
pie in there. You want this thing to look immaculate.
(29:10):
So clean out your closet in New New Year. Do
the yard pick up in the spring, But fridge clean
out happens the night before things.
Speaker 5 (29:17):
That's your favorite tradition.
Speaker 3 (29:19):
Yes, it is the fridge because you know what comes
the next day. It's all the Thanksgiving food.
Speaker 2 (29:25):
You're preparing for all of the holiday goodies that are
about to come over the next six weeks.
Speaker 3 (29:30):
You want a.
Speaker 2 (29:30):
Fresh you want a fresh palate or a fresh plate
of just clean refrigerator space. I don't want all that
stuff in there from lunchbox making. I need new real estate,
all right, that's what I need. That's my favorite tradition
because I know what's coming in the fridge.
Speaker 5 (29:43):
I like that. It's like putting fresh sheets on the bed.
Speaker 3 (29:45):
Exactly.
Speaker 5 (29:45):
But let's you know, like you're gonna have company or something.
And I don't know. If you go to someone else's
house and you.
Speaker 1 (29:50):
Open their fridge, it looks like World War three in there.
Someone else's fridge looks so weird, yes, and so crazy,
and it's so Jamie.
Speaker 5 (29:56):
I respect that.
Speaker 1 (29:57):
And it's like put a new fresh baking powder in there, now,
fresh pair of underweards.
Speaker 5 (30:00):
It's like clean. It's good. All right. I'm going to
close the show here.
Speaker 1 (30:03):
I want to want you to use your imagination and
imagine you are eighteen years old. Your whole world is
your high school community and your social circle, and then
it's gone, and you leave that social circle for three
months and you go to college, and then one night,
my friends you return. You return to the local bar
or pub in your neighborhood, possibly with the fake ID,
(30:23):
and the night before Thanksgiving you celebrate what I have
long called makeout Christmas. Maybe you run into an old flame.
She looks a little different now, a little more mature.
Speaker 5 (30:35):
So do you.
Speaker 1 (30:36):
You've both seen things in college, you've both done things
in college. But when you lock eyes on makeout Christmas,
the flame whosh reignites or maybe maybe it's not someone
you had a history with.
Speaker 5 (30:47):
Maybe it's someone you always wanted to have.
Speaker 1 (30:50):
A history with, and maybe they were in a different
social circle, they were too cool for you, or they
were just unavailable.
Speaker 5 (30:55):
That's all irrelevant. Now you're in college.
Speaker 1 (30:58):
You now, she's college her now, and it's all on
stumbled back into your childhood kitchen in the dark one
upstairs at two atay, I'm passed out in your childhood
bed under your silverchair poster.
Speaker 5 (31:11):
And it's glorious.
Speaker 1 (31:12):
And then we just eat the next day from morning tonight.
Speaker 5 (31:16):
It is wonderful. So all you kids out there, lock and.
Speaker 1 (31:19):
Load tonight, tigers and marry make out Christmas.
Speaker 13 (31:22):
Go get him as you have booze reeking from your pores,
as you do with the turkey trot in the town.

streets of your local rally.

to come good money, my mom sucking down and ten
(34:04):
up with the one two Smith.
Speaker 5 (34:06):
There's the record DK Metcalf move over.
Speaker 4 (34:10):
There's a new single season receiving yards leader in Seattle history,
and it's Jackson Smith.
Speaker 5 (34:17):
A Jigbumb.
Speaker 8 (34:19):
A few weeks ago, Cassie, a Seattle Seahawks fan, messaged
my brother Kyle Brant and expressed her frustrations with our
lack of coverage on her team. Kyle relayed the message
to us on live television, and then we all proceeded
to spend a few moments and minutes talking about what
we'd liked about the Seahawks. Since then, a lot has happened,
specifically for their star wide receiver.
Speaker 5 (34:40):
Jackson Smith and Jagbud.
Speaker 8 (34:42):
This past Sunday, Jason had a season high one hundred
and sixty seven receiving yards and two tds on eight receptions.
With that performance, Jaysn broke the Seattle Seahawks single season
record for receiving yards, previously held by DK Metcalf. What
took DK a season to do, Jasn has done in
just eleven games, which leads me to ask what other
(35:04):
records could JASN break with six games left.
Speaker 5 (35:06):
In the season.
Speaker 8 (35:08):
Jackson Smith, the Smith and jig Book, currently leads the
entire league in receiving yards with three hundred and thirteen.
That's two hundred and fifty nine yards more than the
guy in second place, which is the largest gap after
Week twelve between two pass catchers.
Speaker 5 (35:23):
Ever, he's also on pace to become.
Speaker 8 (35:25):
The first two thousand yard receiver in NFL history. And
the crazy part is he's doing this on the most
run heavy offense in the league. It doesn't make sense. Well,
that seems to be the same four wards people have
been saying since the Seattle Seahawks drafted him two years ago.
Due to a hamstring injury, Jaysn would only play three
(35:47):
games in this last.
Speaker 5 (35:48):
Year at Ohio State.
Speaker 8 (35:49):
However, John Snyder, general manager for the Seattle Seahawks, would
still pick Jasen in the first round of the following draft.
It doesn't make sense. On top of that, Dk Metcalf
and Tyler Lockett, We're both coming off of one thousand
in yard seasons. It doesn't make sense. And then this
(36:09):
past offseason happened. Not only did the Seahawks hire their
third offensive coordinator in three years, but they would also
sign one of the best slot receivers in this generation,
Cooper Cup. Again, it doesn't make sense. Maybe the only
thing that starting to make sense is, no matter the
situation or organization, Jackson Smith and Jegba always has been
(36:32):
the most major Ohio State has been known to produce
really good wide receivers. I would know because I played
with two of them, Michael Thomas and Tedgin Junior. During
Jaysn's three years at Ohio State, he would be in
a wide receiver room filled with guys like Chris o'lave,
Garrett Wilson, Marvin Harrison Junior, and Offensive Rookie of the
(36:52):
Year candidate imecha Igbuca, but Jaysen was always regarded as
the best in the group. After one day I practice
back in Columbus, former Ohio State quarterback C. J.
Speaker 5 (37:03):
Stroud had this to say.
Speaker 8 (37:05):
The first day of practice, he won handed the pass
and I was like, this, dude's for real. Ever since then,
he's been one of the best I've ever played with,
if not the best. That says a lot coming from
the guy that had to throw the ball to all
of these different wide receivers, But it's more major when
it comes from someone in the same room.
Speaker 5 (37:25):
Chris was always there.
Speaker 8 (37:26):
I mean, it was just a family man, especially with
what they got going on there.
Speaker 3 (37:29):
And I'll say this is the Jackson Smith.
Speaker 5 (37:31):
He the best one for real, Like he the truth?
He the truth? Man?
Speaker 8 (37:36):
Is it starting to make sense now. I hope so,
but if not, you got six more weeks to watch history. Lastly,
in the spirit of my favorite holiday, Thanksgiving, I'll leave
you with one more jem Jay sends. Three hundred and
thirteen receiving arts are the most in NFL history before
(37:58):
Thanksgiving weekend. Just take a gander at that list, guys
like Tory Holt, Jerry Rice, Isaac Bruce. How's that for
some major motivation before your Turkey boast tomorrow, have one Maja,
thanks for giving.
Speaker 5 (38:12):
Everybody.
Speaker 3 (38:15):
It's time for what's your beach? Presented by Old Trapper.
That's right.
Speaker 2 (38:19):
The defending Super Bowl champions in the Philadelphia Eagles are
a fascinating study not only of football, but are a
part of the country that people don't truly know what
they are about unless you're from there. Truth be told,
my mom is from Philadelphia. She's five feet tall, she's feisty.
Some people say they're scared of her sometimes, and.
Speaker 3 (38:36):
That tracks for people that are from Philly.
Speaker 2 (38:39):
They're intense, they're dedicated, they know about their business all
right now.
Speaker 3 (38:44):
It's a fascinating thing because people don't know what to
do about.
Speaker 2 (38:48):
Some characters from Philadelphia However, when a certain behavior comes
out of the city and it hits a national spotlight,
you're like, you know what that tracks if you're from Philly.
And there is never a better example than at a
press conference this week with their current defensive coordinator, Vic Fangio,
members of the Press Corps had some beef with each other.
Speaker 5 (39:10):
We didn't get off in time finish. What's that when
you're shut up when you finished?
Speaker 12 (39:17):
They're wasting?
Speaker 3 (39:23):
Are they fighting with each other? Indeed they are.
Speaker 2 (39:25):
Mike Garrafola, please get in here, as our resident member
of he who hails from a part of Philadelphia.
Speaker 3 (39:31):
I think we went to school there.
Speaker 2 (39:32):
Can you help us out with what just went down
during this?
Speaker 3 (39:34):
Fangiopresser, Oh God.
Speaker 4 (39:38):
John McMullen and Reuben Frank and I love both.
Speaker 5 (39:41):
Of those guys.
Speaker 4 (39:41):
I love a lot of folks down there in the
Philadelphia media.
Speaker 5 (39:44):
And I had two thoughts right away. It reminded me
of the water boy. Shut up, Brent, right, That was one.
Speaker 4 (39:51):
The other one is that that's gonna sound like a
lot of Thanksgiving tables. Politics comes up at the table,
so we're already in the holiday mood in that regard.
But what you need to understand about the Philadelphia Eagles
media is that it is by far the hardest place
to get a question in. At a press conference, everybody's
(40:11):
asking like six at a time. So what you're trying
to do is you're trying to time up the end
of the answer because you gotta get it hey and
like three, and then Vick's got to decide, like, who
am I looking at my man, Zach Berman with the
athletic my former colleague. I taught him many things in
this business. He's gonna have to teach me. It's unbelievable
how he is able to get question after questions and
(40:33):
he's not like he's a dominion of guy. He's not
the tallest guy in pound for pound. It's unbelievable how
he gets the questions in. But when you try to
time it up sometimes you just step on the answers there.
So that's not a product of John being rude. It's like,
I got to get this question in, so I gotta
time it up right because if not, I'm gonna get
run over by the rest of the cavalry.
Speaker 5 (40:52):
Here.
Speaker 1 (40:52):
I can best serve the audience by not making comments.
But I'm just going to Rewrack the clip. Can we
watch this again?
Speaker 8 (40:57):
Go ahead?
Speaker 9 (40:58):
We didn't get off some time.
Speaker 5 (41:00):
What's that when you're shut up?
Speaker 13 (41:04):
The guy finished.
Speaker 1 (41:11):
It's just like that was a full shut up, like
he didn't even hesitate.
Speaker 5 (41:15):
Are those guys friends? I don't know them?
Speaker 1 (41:16):
Like I remember when when Ben Johnson's opening press conference
he came out and took a shot at Matt Lafleur,
and everyone was like, they're not friends, Like they don't
come from the same coaching tree.
Speaker 5 (41:25):
That's crazy that he did.
Speaker 1 (41:26):
That, the no hesitation shut up, Like, I hope that
they're friends otherwise, that's really really rude, man, tire No.
Speaker 8 (41:35):
I just imagined Mike g being Vic Fangio and he
was responsible with cooking his grandmother's soup and he left
it on the stove too long, and he's like, I mean,
we just left it and somebody in the family is
like shut up, Like they just start arguing amongst each other.
And then Mike, you just do that famous like sit
back and be like, Okay, y'all can't start arguing and
(41:55):
take me out of this. Mike Gea, I got a question,
because I know you also follow the giants. What's a
different etiquette like with the Eagles media compared to the
Giants media, because I've heard a lot about the Giants
as well.
Speaker 5 (42:08):
No it's not, I'm telling you Philadelphia is is.
Speaker 4 (42:11):
I don't say the worst because it's the best, because
they all have and they have good questions too that
they want to ask. It's not like, you know, oh,
they're all fighting. It's like that was the one that
you were trying to get. Like, no, they're all pretty
good questions. It's just it's unbelievable post game. And there's
a lot like that's during the week postgame when everybody's there.
Forget it, you're better than me.
Speaker 2 (42:29):
I mean, there is nothing worse than the collective exhale
of the press score when you do get your question
in and they're like.
Speaker 3 (42:35):
That's seriously what we all just stop down for God?
Speaker 5 (42:38):
What are you doing?
Speaker 3 (42:38):
You're you're ridiculous.
Speaker 2 (42:40):
Big Fangio has ever been more puzzled by an offense,
let alone that press situation where he's like, I don't
know what to do here and he looks over at
Bob Lang like how do we conduct our business?
Speaker 3 (42:48):
Shut up? No, just kidding. We love each other. On GMFB,
that was what's your baby?
Speaker 5 (42:52):
Was perfect's check like that, I do you punch on
before too? Yeah, that's comm
Good Morning Football is the production of the NFL in

Kyle, what is one thing that you are looking forward
to this first hour on a Wednesday.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
I'm looking forward to whiteboard Wednesday because we're talking about
our favorite Thanksgiving tradition outside of football for us, and
we have great football tomorrow. But if you've been following
the show for years, you know tonight is a very
special holiday in the United States of America. I'll be
talking about shortly, Mike. You celebrate this holidays. You know
what I'm talking about.
Speaker 4 (00:45):
Coming home from college and going to the bars.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
Might be anti We got to talk about some things
with you, my friend. But Jamie, should we start the
show first?
Speaker 5 (00:53):
Mean?
Speaker 3 (00:53):
Fine, twist my arms. Let's do it.
Speaker 5 (00:56):
Let's go.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
Welcome to Good Morning Football, presented by Old Trapper. That's right,
GMFP on Wednesday, everybody, Jamie, Manti, Mike g and Kyle.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
Who wants to go first?
Speaker 2 (01:20):
Who in New York would like to just get into
it for us?
Speaker 1 (01:23):
On?
Speaker 2 (01:23):
Behalf of the three people that are not named Manti
at this table.
Speaker 3 (01:27):
Key, you're nodding, go ahead, go ahead, I.
Speaker 5 (01:30):
No, I want to do it. Max, behalf because I walked.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
Into the studio here in New York City this morning.
You can even keep it on Mike's camera.
Speaker 5 (01:35):
I don't care. It's all about Mike.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
I walk in, Mike is in a panic, and Mike's
usually a pretty cool customer, and Mike is sweating, and I'm.
Speaker 5 (01:42):
Like, what's wrong, Mike? What's wrong? Is there's something wrong
at home?
Speaker 1 (01:44):
He's like, Oh, I'm just so relieved that you're not
dressed up in a three piece suit or a tuxedo
because Anti Tao is dunking on everybody this morning.
Speaker 5 (01:51):
You thought it was fancy day?
Speaker 6 (01:52):
I did.
Speaker 4 (01:53):
And Jamie's got her sparkle on too as well. I'm like,
did I miss a memo?
Speaker 5 (01:58):
They forgot a vow to filly get you guys?
Speaker 4 (02:01):
Look, I did make the analogy to Kyle before we
came out. I said, it looks like Mantai, like, think
about three sisters and we've been married to two of
them for a while. And then here's the new boyfriend
showing up her. Thanks, Oh yeah, you passed me a beard?
Speaker 5 (02:14):
Dude? What do you think of the new guy? Yeah?
That's great?
Speaker 1 (02:16):
What do you think of these sweatpants? Somewhere literally a listen,
we can talk all about it. And nobody's looking at
anything in this for shot, right, no other than the
pie over Jamie's shoulder, which is absolutely handsome, beautiful, looks delicious.
Speaker 5 (02:28):
Manti.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
Do you want to make a confession though, aside from
the pie, that as much as you love your NFL
media brothers and sisters, you're dressing up because your fancy
bosses from Netflix are watching.
Speaker 7 (02:37):
Right.
Speaker 8 (02:38):
Come on, Kyle, you know this. This is our favorite
Tomorrow is our favorite holiday. So I came in a
Holidays spirit a little bit. You know, we got Maja
later on in this show, so I had to dress
Maja as well, and so I asked Jamie when I
first came into the into the building, I say, Jame,
what's the vibe? She said, sweater? This is what I heard.
I heard suited and booted. And I came ready to roll. Guys,
that's what I from dress is.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
What I heard, my Lord, and then I had to
put a bow in my heart just to elevate it.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
A little bit.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
Gosh, Kyle, you want to cover your favorites part of
today later on whiteboard Wednesday?
Speaker 3 (03:09):
Or how do you want to handle this business?
Speaker 4 (03:10):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (03:11):
Doing whiteboard now.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
My favorite part was Mantai walking into his wardrobe this
Morning's like what should I wear? And he heard that Netflix,
but he's like, Ooh, I'm gonna go with the good stuff.
And I don't blame it. You guys look fantastic.
Speaker 3 (03:21):
Oh, thank you very much, as do you? As do you.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
It's a team effort here on GMFB. And with that,
we got to talk about the games tomorrow, shall we?
Speaker 3 (03:28):
The Chiefs and the Cowboys.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
Get set to square off on Thanksgiving Day, two teams
coming off big time wins in week twelve, and yesterday,
Dak Prescott and Patrick Mahomes spoke to the media about
what it means for them to plan on Thanksgiving Day.
Speaker 9 (03:42):
It's a blessing and some that I never never take
for granted, putting on them specially, you know, since we
went back to the throwback uniforms. It just brings me
back to being a kid and watching you know, the
Cowboys every Thanksgiving, going outside playing with my brothers after
we ate, we're during halftime or whatever it may be.
And so just to think about all the other families
and kids and people out there that are watching us,
and that we can inspire and just by the way
(04:03):
that we play the game and just want to go
out there and win, and as I said, inspire would
just the way we take the film.
Speaker 6 (04:09):
Obviously, you grew up watching Thanksgiving games, no matter who
you're a fan of, if it's the Lions, Cowboys, or
whoever's playing at night. I mean, you grew up watching
those games. And so I think as that kid in
me wants to be able to go out there and
play on Thanksgiving and find a way to win and
against a really good football team and the whole world watching,
all right.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
I not a ton of history here.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
The only two times, the only time these two teams
have faced each other on Thanksgiving was back in nineteen
ninety five a Cowboys Heyday if you will. Cowboys beat
that Chiefs team twenty four to twelve, and at that time,
Dallas head coach Brian Schottenheimer's father, Marty, was the head
coach in Kansas City. That's a very nice family that
all connects us on Thanksgiving, Man, TI think about current
(04:51):
day matchup though, Cowboys Chiefs.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
What do you got?
Speaker 8 (04:53):
Well, First, they're both coming off a huge wins, probably
the biggest wins of the season for both of them. However,
I'm going to look at the Chiefs and I'm going
to look at Patrick Mahomes when you watch them the past,
at least for this year, I see if Patrick that's
his timing is a little quicker he's going and Antoni
Romo said a lot last week on the broadcast, it
seems like he's going through his progressions too fast.
Speaker 5 (05:14):
Now.
Speaker 8 (05:14):
I also empathize with Patrick Mahomes because not too long
ago in the Super Bowl, the guy was getting hit
every single every single angle. And for the first seven
games of this year he had an average time to
His average time to throw was a little over two seconds.
That's not a lot of time. Now, from weeks week
eight on to this current moment, he's been able to
(05:35):
hold the ball for a little over three seconds. But
people have to understand when you've been hit so many
times that clock in your brain, that little rhythm that
tells you that.
Speaker 5 (05:43):
Hey, I got to get this ball out. It's still there.
Speaker 8 (05:46):
So I hope that going into this game against the Cowboys,
they do like to run zone. They actually run zone
at the fourth highest clip in the NFL. But in
the event that they do run man for Patrick Mahomes
to be a little bit more patient, let those routes
develop for him, because the past few weeks you could
see him get off of routes and get off of
receivers a little too fast, and all of a sudden
(06:08):
they come open, but he missed them because he's doing this,
he's scrambling a lot. So just be patient, Mike Gee,
let the game come to him, and if he does,
I think he's going to play his team in the
best position to win.
Speaker 4 (06:18):
Yeah, that side of the ball is gonna be fascinating,
especially if what happens on the other side of the
ball plays to the chief strength. Because that's what I'm
looking at here. I'm looking at strength against strength. I'm
looking at the top rank Cowboys passing offense against this
Chiefs defense, the Chiefs defense overall sixth in the NFL
right now, and the cornerbacks for the Kansas City Chiefs.
(06:38):
Trent McDuffie, obviously, we've talked a ton about him. You
want to hear a game analyst gush about Trent McDuffie,
you'll hear plenty of that. But Jalen Watson, the guy
on the other side, has been intriguing to me this year.
He's a seventh round pick back in twenty twenty two.
He is playing extremely well, and back in twenty twenty
two he signed a rookie deal that was four years,
three point seven million dollars with an eighty five thousand
(07:00):
dollars signing bonus. Jalen Watson in the near future is
going to be signing a.
Speaker 5 (07:06):
Much, much bigger deal.
Speaker 4 (07:07):
When I talk to folks in Kansas City, they say
he is tackling better. He's playing with better instincts against
the run. In the past, when we lost la Jerius Sneid,
it was a big hole opposite McDuffie on the other side,
and now he has really filled that hole tremendously and
done a really good job. He's got the length of
the speed, he can play press, he can play off,
he can tackle. He's doing everything he's gonna have to do.
(07:29):
This against the Cowboys wide receivers on both sides of
the ball. Look, you know how much I love Steve Spagnola.
I've talked about him plenty. David Merritt is a longtime
assistant for Steve Spagnolo as well. Coaches the defensive backs.
I've known him since he coached them with the Giants
twenty years ago. He has done a fantastic job bringing
along young guys. Jalen Watson is one of those, and
he's got cash into well.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
I'm going to talk about something he's going to be
chasing around because I feel like there's a different emphasis
when you watch Thanksgiving football. You want someone do You
want to watch players who are not only really good
at football. Also, I think you want some entertainment quotion.
You want to have some fun. There's people watching football
who don't always watch football like we do. And I
have front row seats for George Pickens.
Speaker 5 (08:07):
You guys know this.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
I am so excited to watch him against this Chiefs team.
Speaker 5 (08:10):
There's a lot of things to.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
Peel back about Pickens, but the first and most important
one is this trade has been a massive success. When
you go back and do trade grades, it's an A.
It might even be an A plus. Understand what he's
done on the football field in the NFL this year.
There are two one thousand yard receivers right now. One
of them is Jackson Smith and Jigma. The other is
George Pickens. Average yards per catch number one is Jackson
(08:35):
Smith and Jigma. Number two is George Pickens. Yards per
game number one is Jackson Smith and Jigma.
Speaker 5 (08:40):
Number two is George Pickens.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
George Pickens and Jackson Smith and Jigma have a catch
of fifty yards in six games this year. It's incredible.
You know what's the most incredible part. I just made
up that stat and you're like, yeah, I believe it.
That's not true at all. They don't have six catches
of fifty yards. That's ludicrous. Nobody has that.
Speaker 5 (08:57):
But you would believe it if I told you. And
here's the thing.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
That's really really cool about George Pickens. He comes in
and he was probably sat down and George, we got
CD over there. He's gonna take all the coverage. You're
just gonna cook. You're gonna run up huge numbers. You're
gonna be incredible. The twist was ceed gets hurt, Ceedy
gets out early, in the season, in the three games
in which CD was gone, and Pickens is like, you're
the man now with Dak who you barely know. In
(09:22):
three games he had three hundred and fifty nine yards
and four touchdowns. That is when he came into his own.
And here's the best part. We haven't had, as the
kids call the crashouts. There have been no fights. There
have been no this there, it hasn't happened.
Speaker 5 (09:37):
Now.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
There have been three personal fouls. I'm not gonna say
it's been absolutely beautiful. There's been some things, but it's
like he got a personal foul, like a flag for
jumping on the goal post. Like, we'll take that in
the context of Pickens, fine, the other ones were maybe
playing a little too hard, unnecessary. It doesn't necessary that
the football has been excellent. The I hate to say
(09:59):
it's a patronizing word, but the behavior has been doable.
We'll take it. It's been a massive success. And CD
hasn't even really got locked in yet. If you're looking
for something fun to watch on the football field tomorrow,
watch Pickings for the Cowboys. It's been so great and
I have all positive things to say about It's been
really cool.
Speaker 4 (10:16):
If I said to you back when he was became
a offer me a deal, and I said to you,
he's going to miss the bus and be sat for
a series, going to have three the three personal time
that What would you have said about that?
Speaker 1 (10:28):
I'll take it all day. Just missing a bus. He's
not driving the bus and like missing the bus and
three personal files through Thanksgiving.
Speaker 5 (10:37):
Sign me up. I think there's a win. And they're there.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
They're sweet personal files. It's not like the bad stuff. Okay,
I don't mind it much.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
It's not like it's a good ced and Georgia or
Chanu and Sandra Bullock on speed like trying to manage
a situation on the highway. It's not like that.
Speaker 3 (10:52):
No, we don't want that, Kyle.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
What you also don't want to your point though, is
for that crash out, if it ever does happen, don't
have it happen at the holidays, you know, don't have
it to have it at Thanksgiving dinner or the Cowboys
play on Christmas Day like none.
Speaker 3 (11:04):
Just have it be like a regular.
Speaker 5 (11:06):
Week opposite a crash out.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
In fact, I'm gonna call my shot here. I know
this is very very naughty and frowned upon and we
hope it doesn't happen.
Speaker 5 (11:14):
The Salvation Army kettle. I'm picking stumping in.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
That kettle, all right, He's gonna jump in that kettle
if you have to draft the team. And by the way,
we should probably do it a cowboy who is most
likely to be in the kettle. We have the Jones
family coming on later and Jerry and Charlotte, we can
ask them. And I know it's very naughty and it's
a terrible thing to do, and don't jump in that
kettle no matter what you do, even though it brings
attention to the Salvation Army.
Speaker 5 (11:33):
Don't do it. But I think if someone does do it,
I think it'll be George picks.
Speaker 3 (11:37):
And more would be donated on behalf. It's perfect.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
We're gonna have to pick those guys later and we
will talk to the Jones family, as Kyle mentioned. But
let's keep pulling at this matchup, shall we.
Speaker 3 (11:45):
Let's go playoff talk.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
As we look at the AFC and NFC playoff picture,
get that bird flying through the air stamp on a football.
Speaker 3 (11:52):
Patriots still hold the left side of the screen.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
Most wins so far in the regular season for any
team in the NFL at ten. What your eye goes
to on both of these screens for this matchup is
a fact that the Chiefs still on the outside looking in.
They are firmly in the lurking column, as is on
the NFC side the Dallas Cowboys.
Speaker 3 (12:12):
Star they're in the same spot. They are both right
now the ten seeded team of the AFC.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
AFC, and look at how much we're going twelve minutes
deep on Chiefs Cowboys. Man, TI, here's the question yep,
who would you want to see more in the playoffs?
Speaker 3 (12:25):
You only get to pick one. Chiefs are Cowboys.
Speaker 8 (12:27):
I think, knowing the track record, knowing the history and
the excellence of the Chiefs, I would want to go
against the Chiefs. Like if I win the AFC, I
want to play the Chiefs because I think with knowing
how many years in a row these guys have been
to the Big Dance. I mean, if the Chiefs aren't
in the playoff picture and I just happened to win,
I'm an AFC team and I happen to win the
(12:48):
Super Bowl, I'm still going to look at the super
Bowl like, man, I'm a super Bowl champion. But there's
always going to be that thought in my mind of
like if that man and the Chiefs were in.
Speaker 5 (12:56):
The playoff, what would that look like.
Speaker 8 (12:58):
It's almost like a double merit badge for me, Like
if I beat the Chiefs in the playoff and win
the Super Bowl, so Mike ge for me.
Speaker 5 (13:05):
I would want to see the Chiefs.
Speaker 4 (13:07):
Both of these teams would be entertaining in January. Would
make for good matchups, make for good conversation here. But
think about if the Cowboys made the playoffs already two
in a row, six games left at least four, if
they're going to make it to the postseason, So we
be talking potentially about a red hot Cowboys team, and boy,
the chirpin that there would be in this This.
Speaker 5 (13:29):
Is what I want to see.
Speaker 4 (13:31):
I want to see the rematch, and I want to
see it in Lambeau this time.
Speaker 5 (13:35):
I need the Packers.
Speaker 4 (13:36):
You're gonna have to probably win the division if we're
gonna see this message.
Speaker 5 (13:38):
They gotta get there, get on up.
Speaker 4 (13:40):
And I want to see Micah Parsons against Jerry Jones
in the postseason. We all thought the Cowboys were dead
as soon as the trade was made, and then again
into the season. Boy, what a theater that.
Speaker 5 (13:53):
Was we need that.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
And yet I've been saying I feel so good about
this Cowboys team and all the vibes are positive, and
it would be amazing if they were the come running
team that gets in the NFC playoffs. You gotta have
the Chiefs. I don't want the FC playoffs without the Chiefs.
And I'll tell you why. I look at someone like this,
and I've said this before.
Speaker 5 (14:10):
Bills Ravens.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
They get in, they get hot, they win the Super Bowl.
I'm not saying that like internet trolls are going to
put an asterisk on that super Bowl if they don't
beat the Chiefs. I'm saying I am going to That's
how that's going to be looked at. You have to
go through the Chiefs. And I'll put it I'm going
to piss some people off here, all right. In the nineties,
the Houston Rockets, God blessed their little hearts, won two
NBA Finals championships. I don't care. Many people don't care.
(14:34):
They didn't go through the big Man. What's most memorable
about their finals the Rockets is a Birmingham Baron and
a Buffalo Bill.
Speaker 5 (14:40):
Let's just put it that way. Okay, that is.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
Why they remember it, and he came Olajuan Kenny the
jet I love you. Michael Jordan was not there. Look,
I love it. You're going right through the suns. God
bless you. Michael Jordan is on a dusty bus driving
around somewhere for God knows what reasons.
Speaker 5 (14:55):
You did not go through the Bulls.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
And many people, myself included, look at those Rockets championships
and be like, yeah, but it was during the Jordan retirement,
Like does it really count?
Speaker 5 (15:03):
Houston?
Speaker 1 (15:03):
People hate that. They said, we would have beat the Bulls.
Who do you have to guard to LaJuan? We had
like three centers in eighteen files. They would have figured
it out, all right. My point is I need the
Chiefs in the playoff for someone to go through because
if it's this one weird year where they didn't make
the playoffs and the Bills or Ravens, whoever wins Super Bowls, like, eh,
you didn't beat Mahomes and Reed you never did. It's
(15:24):
very important that they're there to win it or to
be knocked out.
Speaker 3 (15:27):
What did you put in your coffee this morning?
Speaker 5 (15:28):
Kyle?
Speaker 3 (15:28):
I feel like he's on one roll.
Speaker 5 (15:31):
Have we met? I'm always on wine talking about Elfigo bro.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
That's true, but it also has something to do with
what's happening in Whiteboard Wednesday, which is the next segment.
Until then, Ian Rappaport, welcome into our beautiful, clean and
program that we talk about football and we don't try
to make anybody mad on you know. Kyle's like, oh,
I'm gonna piss people off with this take. Like the
fact that he led with that is fascinating in and
of itself.
Speaker 3 (15:52):
But here we are wrap sheet, they're.
Speaker 5 (15:54):
Muting his mike.
Speaker 3 (15:55):
He's like, yeah, yeah, I did that.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
The Chiefs are coming off that big win as we
mentioned over the Colts back in week twelve, but you
have injuries that we need to remain aware of before Thursday.
Speaker 10 (16:05):
Yeah, some good, some battle start with the good. Isaiah Pacheco,
the Kannisity Chiefs starting running back, is expected back this
week for the Kansas City Chiefs. Excellent, excellent new It's
been about a month since he has been out with
an mcl sprain. A welcome, welcome returner, and while he
was gone, there was certainly some developments in the Kennis
City Chiefs back with Kareem Hunt spent some time going
(16:26):
off Jarge Smith spent some time going off either way,
this is their guy. Pacheko being back for Thursday helps immensely.
On the other side, Trey Smith, their pro bowl guard,
one of the best guards in the NFL, stuffered sprains
to his ankle. Not when I say sprains, I mean
sprains one high ankle, one long ankle. Two sprains, one ankle.
(16:46):
Expected to be out for Thursday against the Chiefs and
then for the Pittsburgh Steelers, who did not have Aaron
Rodgers last week.
Speaker 5 (16:54):
Maybe you heard about it.
Speaker 8 (16:55):
It was a little bit of a story.
Speaker 5 (16:56):
We made a whole thing about it.
Speaker 10 (16:57):
And then comes Sunday churned out.
Speaker 3 (16:59):
He did not play.
Speaker 10 (17:00):
He's expected to miss just one game. Mike Tomlinson is
full confidence. Aaron Rodgers is expected back this week. So
with a fractured left wrist, Rogers misses just one all.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
Right, good to know, rap, She appreciate you, thankful for
you before it. Very nice suit. Don't try to justify
your suit with his suit. He's always in a suit. Okay,
you came to play with your sport code. We were
not prepared. Ten of the sixteen teams in the AFC
have a winning record, so we're asking this.
Speaker 3 (17:25):
Very tough question. I hope you're all prepared.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
Which of the potential playoff teams in that conference do
you trust the most?
Speaker 3 (17:31):
Right now?
Speaker 11 (17:32):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (17:32):
No, Kyle, I trust Manti to say he's going to
go casual Wednesday as much as I trust a certain
team in the AFC.
Speaker 1 (17:39):
Well, you trusted a major storyline that's coming out of
the Pacific Northwest this season. Guys, that's a very formal
bump I'm reading. And Jackson Smith and Jigula is just
dominating in the NFL. Would you still call him the
best wide receiver.
Speaker 5 (17:53):
In the NFL though right now? Or is it someone else?
Speaker 1 (17:55):
He has the best numbers, he's having the best season.
Speaker 5 (17:57):
Does he have the strap? Manti's got thoughts on this later?
Speaker 2 (18:10):
Good mon Football Tiper wait for Wednesday on GMFB. Lamar
Jackson hurt his toe in the first quarter of Sunday's
win over the Jets. He missed Monday's walk through, but
he practiced on Tuesday and is set to start tomorrow
night against the Bengals. Ravens head coach John Harbaugh says
even though Jackson isn't putting up his normal eye popping stats,
he's still playing winning football.
Speaker 12 (18:32):
We've had some key drives in the in the at
the end of the game, second half and fourth quarter
that have been have been game winners for us AN offense.
So it's like, well, you know, you may be referring
to you know, quote unquote gaudy stats and things like that,
but how about the fourth quarter stats? You know, I
think Lamar's got a one forty four quarterback grading in
the fourth quarter when the game needs to be one
(18:53):
and that's when these games have need to have needed
to be won in the last three, four, five weeks.
So that's probably the most important stat And so that's
that's what I see.
Speaker 3 (19:03):
That's pretty cool.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
They went down to the final frame and they found
out Manti Lamar's fourth quarter trustworthiness. So, yere we go,
what AFC team do you have your eyeballs on as
you consider the fact that we just don't know what's
what in that conference?
Speaker 3 (19:17):
Who do you trust the most right now? Mansid?
Speaker 8 (19:20):
This may be just an easy answer, but I got
to go with the Patriots. That Patriots is the team
that I trust. Why because when I look at all
three phases of this game, they're very very strong offensively, defensively,
special teams. Drake May He's very efficient, he doesn't make
a lot of mistakes, and he seems very poisoned there.
They have a whole bunch of weapons that he just
kind of picks his flavor that day. I'm gonna go
(19:42):
to Diggs, I'm going to go to Pop Douglas. I'm
going to go to Booty, I'm going to go to
Treyvon Henderson. He just has a different flavor every week.
And then they have Mike Rabel. Mike Rabel's been there,
done that. I don't see a team that when they
get laid into this season, which some teams do, they
start to fall apart, fall apart and break apart. So
I got the New England Patriots, Mike gi I think
(20:02):
they're the ones that I trust the most.
Speaker 4 (20:04):
Denver Broncos right now, give me the retro logo, why
not done worse?
Speaker 5 (20:09):
Pretty good? Pretty good?
Speaker 4 (20:12):
And I sort of no team is complete right now,
so it's tough to answer that question. But give me
the one that's making the plays in the fourth quarter.
Give me the one that's making the comebacks against the
like the Giants to showing the Chiefs game. They certainly
outplayed them in the fourth quarter and did what they
need to do to win the game right now, and
they're coming on right now into what I.
Speaker 5 (20:33):
Eight game winning streak right now.
Speaker 4 (20:35):
Yeah, I have to take Denver Broncos right now on
a by getting that late by rest.
Speaker 5 (20:40):
I like the answer. It all makes sense. You just
do the rundown.
Speaker 1 (20:43):
The Patriots have a quarterbacks and never been in a
playoff game. The Bills were a lot of things. Trustworthy
is not one of them. We talked about Lamar, Indianapolis Colts,
Daniel Jones, the Broncos.
Speaker 5 (20:51):
Bo Nix is a radic. The Chargers are the Chargers.
Speaker 1 (20:54):
Still, when things are all crazy, you have to go
with a trusted I'm right asked out right here, guys,
I'm putting up a six and five team. It just
feels a little bit right now like the stock market
and this is Sears Roebuck. This is just like this
is the thing that your grandma gave you at twenty
dollars savings bond.
Speaker 5 (21:11):
Four for your first communion and you've just held onto it.
Speaker 1 (21:14):
And it's not sexy and it's not particularly robust right now,
but I still believe they're.
Speaker 5 (21:21):
Going to be there. I think they're.
Speaker 1 (21:22):
Gonna never mind. I'll came my prediction for tomorrow until later.
But I got to go with the Chiefs because there's
no one else I fall in love with.
Speaker 5 (21:29):
You go with the trusted brand, old Uncle Sam.
Speaker 2 (21:32):
That piece of paper still holds such value that you
got on your first community.
Speaker 3 (21:35):
You know, it's tattered and it's aged. I get it.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
Next up, let's take another look at this reaction from.
Speaker 3 (21:42):
The Eagles over the weekend. I'm talking about Jake Elliott
to Cooper de Gene getting.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
A pass interference call on CD LAMB. That's Jake Elliott,
their kicker. He's money to ignore, Sirianni. Okay, look at
Jake Elliott and pick a storyline in the NFL right now,
MANSI that has you making the Jake Elliott face?
Speaker 8 (22:01):
Well, I got when I look at the six middle teams, Okay,
when I look at the Chargers, yeah, the wild Cards,
I look at the lurk and call them in the AFC.
That's the that's the thing that makes me make that face.
Why because if you look at all of these teams,
right the Charges of Jacks and the Bills, they're all
seven and four. But then the Texans who are outside
(22:22):
the Steelers who are outside, and the Chiefs are all
six and five, and there's a combination going into the
last six games of the season where these guys.
Speaker 5 (22:29):
Play each other.
Speaker 8 (22:30):
So I'm gonna be tuned into every single game like that.
I'm going to have that expression on my face because
any one of these games could jump these guys here
and these there's gonna be a whole bunch of moving parts.
And so that's the whole storyline in dynamic that makes everything.
Speaker 2 (22:45):
But you're born down and make that face right into
the camera.
Speaker 3 (22:48):
Yeah there you go. Okay, good grab grab it social Okay, yeah,
very much.
Speaker 4 (22:53):
Go ahead, Jan Mike, right now, I must be in
a record of move. This is the retro Bears logo,
which is one of the The blue Bears hat with
the orange retro b is one of my favorite heads
in the NFL. Jake Elliott and the Eagles are playing
the Bears on Friday, Black Friday. I'll be there covering
woor NFL Network Hi five covertovers dude, and this is
(23:15):
the you know all the Bears fattened up against the
self schedule, Well, here it comes, Here comes the gauntlet,
and potentially if they win this game, move themselves to
nine and three, and instead of saying like, oh, which
team is going to overtake the Bears, It's gonna be like,
which team could potentially challenge the Bears as the top
of the NFC North?
Speaker 5 (23:33):
And if that happens, Jake Elliott, a lot.
Speaker 4 (23:35):
Of folks in Philadelphia and a lot of folks around
the league are gonna be like.
Speaker 5 (23:39):
This Bears team is for real. Ben Johnson's done it.
Good call. See it's a good call. It's a great call.
I'll see there in front of like, I'm fired up.
Black Ian Rappaport too. He is going to yeah party
Wonderfu'll be on the same train. All right.
Speaker 1 (23:51):
Okay, So Jake Elliott, what is making him make that face?
Jake Elliott's been in the league nine years, Like he
has seen it. Jake Elliott was there for the past,
the Nick Foles in the Super Bowl.
Speaker 5 (24:02):
He's seen some things.
Speaker 1 (24:03):
Why are we what'd be so stunned by Joe Burrow's back?
Hell yeah, baby, let's ride. I am into this. We
need Joe Burrow here, perfect because Joe Burrow looks like
Kevin mccowister, and that's the Kevin McCallister.
Speaker 5 (24:13):
Look, we need Joe Burrow. We love Joe Burrow.
Speaker 1 (24:15):
Of all our thirty two flavors in this ice cream
parlor we work at, the Joe Burrow is one of
the tastiest flavors. They like him, hate him, win loss.
We need him out there. I had all on I
need from Joe Flacko in the Bengals. Thank you, Joe Flacka.
We respect your service. We'll see you on the Steelers
next year. I want some Joe Burrow back out there.
And people are like, he shouldn't be playing. The Bengals
are terrible, the record's terrible, and Joe Burrow's like, I
(24:37):
don't believe in being healthy and not being out there.
I think we're good with the Jake. I'm trying to
make a point. Get this out of here. I don't
know what he's doing. I'm excited for Joe Burrow and
we get to see him tomorrow. Tomorrow night against the Bravens.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
Real authentic emotion out of Jake Elliott.
Speaker 3 (24:48):
The confusion on the Cooper de Jen call. But Kyle,
I get it. The Joe Burrow experience, it is alive
and well.
Speaker 2 (24:54):
On Thanksgiving, speaking of as Kyle just mentioned with Thanksgiving tomorrow,
Joe Burrow was asked about his Thanksgiving memories as a
wee boy as an adult, and there's one quarterback that
actually came to mind for Burrow.
Speaker 3 (25:08):
Take listen.
Speaker 11 (25:09):
I think just like a lot of kids, you you
grow up going through Thanksgiving, you have your meals with
your family, and then you go and sell on the
couch and typically there's not a lot on except football.
Back in the day, it was Lions and somebody. You
go watch Matthew Stafford throw for three hundred and four
hundred some yards with Calvin Johnson and probably lose the game,
(25:30):
but it was fun to watch.
Speaker 3 (25:34):
Why do you have to do the Lions thirty like that?
It's right? He is right historically speaking, that is accurate. Manti.
Speaker 2 (25:40):
Okay, everybody buckle up football aside. Ye, okay, don't take
down the Stafford Lions right now. What's your favorite Thanksgiving tradition?
Speaker 3 (25:47):
Mantai?
Speaker 8 (25:48):
So, my favorite Thanksgiving is Thanksgivings on a Thursday. What
we would do is we'd eat, take a break, and
then eat again, and whatever is left, we'd pack it up,
but we'd leave it at my parents' house because we'd
all go back over again on Friday to eat the leftover.
So my favorite tradition was warming up the leftovers on
the Friday after to watch the second slate of games
(26:09):
on the NFL Games on Friday.
Speaker 5 (26:11):
So this was something.
Speaker 8 (26:12):
I always thought that Thanksgiving meal tasted better the next
day anyway. So our favorite tradition was to meet back
at mom and Dad's house, all the siblings, all the cousins,
and then have the dinner again.
Speaker 3 (26:24):
Very good marinated flavors.
Speaker 8 (26:26):
Yeah, yeah, I thought you.
Speaker 4 (26:28):
I grew up in a heavy Italian neighborhood in South Philly,
and I would say ninety percent of the households down
there had a pasta course before all the turkey and
everything like that, which I never understood because you can
eat that all year round, and then why eating lasagna
after you know, turkey and seven hundred sides. So what
we had in my house was my grandmother's soup. What
(26:49):
kind of soup? It doesn't even have a name. Really
there it is right there, okay. It is a baked
egg and meatball soup. We used to call it just
holiday soup because you would get it on Thanksgiving and
you'd get it on New year's and my aunt Gene
has taking it over over since my grandmother passed away.
There was one year right up the bat she used
low sodium broth and we're like no, no, no, no, no
(27:10):
no no, we need unleaded. That's not how it's made.
In fact, I'm probably giving away too many secrets here.
If I tell you the recipe here, you know, the
old I'd have to kill you, which we don't want
to do because frankly, the killing and Thanksgiving we eliminated
a couple hundred years ago, which is right.
Speaker 5 (27:25):
We like peaceful thanksgivings.
Speaker 4 (27:26):
But now she'll make it only on Thanksgiving, so you
get it just once a year. I'm telling you, this
stuff is fantastic right here, this fight's over it. Like
my uncle goes to my aunt's side for Thanksgiving, and
there were arguments one year about should he get any
because he's not here, like you want it, you gotta
be here on Thursday.
Speaker 5 (27:46):
My wife loves it. They even make it gluten free
for her now so that she can eat it.
Speaker 4 (27:49):
In fact, she said to me one time, it was
like in mid March and she's like, I want to
make your grandmother soup. And I was like, no, no,
you can't do that.
Speaker 5 (27:57):
She's like, well why not, I want it?
Speaker 4 (27:59):
I said, Well, then you're going to wait eight months
just like the rest of us to get You're not
gonna make it in the middle of March.
Speaker 1 (28:04):
A right, what do they used to say, chunky stupid
soup that eats like a meal.
Speaker 5 (28:08):
Oh yeah, that's it's great.
Speaker 2 (28:10):
Yes, the yellow stuff in there, the baked egg.
Speaker 3 (28:13):
Portion of that, well, what's a big egg. That's the
big egg.
Speaker 4 (28:15):
Bake a whole sheet and then you cut it into squares. Right, yep, Egene,
we're gonna make millions.
Speaker 5 (28:21):
Right now, let's get let's get down and meatball.
Speaker 2 (28:24):
Man, that would sit well in your fridge. Here's here's
what happens in my house. You know, some people do
spring cleaning in a traditional white spring.
Speaker 3 (28:31):
They start the new year.
Speaker 2 (28:32):
They want to clean out their closet January second or
something like that. We in my house, we do fridge
clean up the night before Thanksgiving. Okay, so take everything out,
make it look like the thing on the right side, immaculate,
make space for what is about to come on Thursday.
Speaker 3 (28:49):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (28:49):
So it's like, get that old strawberry out of there
that fell out of the kids lunchbox. At some point,
there's something that smells in the back. You gotta put
the baking soda thing back in there, because this is
the fridge New Year in our house. Okay, so you
clean it out, you wipe it, you bleach it, you
make room or the holiday soup, the what have you.
People are gonna bring things over. You're gonna put the
pie in there. You want this thing to look immaculate.
(29:10):
So clean out your closet in New New Year. Do
the yard pick up in the spring, But fridge clean
out happens the night before things.
Speaker 5 (29:17):
That's your favorite tradition.
Speaker 3 (29:19):
Yes, it is the fridge because you know what comes
the next day. It's all the Thanksgiving food.
Speaker 2 (29:25):
You're preparing for all of the holiday goodies that are
about to come over the next six weeks.
Speaker 3 (29:30):
You want a.
Speaker 2 (29:30):
Fresh you want a fresh palate or a fresh plate
of just clean refrigerator space. I don't want all that
stuff in there from lunchbox making. I need new real estate,
all right, that's what I need. That's my favorite tradition
because I know what's coming in the fridge.
Speaker 5 (29:43):
I like that. It's like putting fresh sheets on the bed.
Speaker 3 (29:45):
Exactly.
Speaker 5 (29:45):
But let's you know, like you're gonna have company or something.
And I don't know. If you go to someone else's
house and you.
Speaker 1 (29:50):
Open their fridge, it looks like World War three in there.
Someone else's fridge looks so weird, yes, and so crazy,
and it's so Jamie.
Speaker 5 (29:56):
I respect that.
Speaker 1 (29:57):
And it's like put a new fresh baking powder in there, now,
fresh pair of underweards.
Speaker 5 (30:00):
It's like clean. It's good. All right. I'm going to
close the show here.
Speaker 1 (30:03):
I want to want you to use your imagination and
imagine you are eighteen years old. Your whole world is
your high school community and your social circle, and then
it's gone, and you leave that social circle for three
months and you go to college, and then one night,
my friends you return. You return to the local bar
or pub in your neighborhood, possibly with the fake ID,
(30:23):
and the night before Thanksgiving you celebrate what I have
long called makeout Christmas. Maybe you run into an old flame.
She looks a little different now, a little more mature.
Speaker 5 (30:35):
So do you.
Speaker 1 (30:36):
You've both seen things in college, you've both done things
in college. But when you lock eyes on makeout Christmas,
the flame whosh reignites or maybe maybe it's not someone
you had a history with.
Speaker 5 (30:47):
Maybe it's someone you always wanted to have.
Speaker 1 (30:50):
A history with, and maybe they were in a different
social circle, they were too cool for you, or they
were just unavailable.
Speaker 5 (30:55):
That's all irrelevant. Now you're in college.
Speaker 1 (30:58):
You now, she's college her now, and it's all on
stumbled back into your childhood kitchen in the dark one
upstairs at two atay, I'm passed out in your childhood
bed under your silverchair poster.
Speaker 5 (31:11):
And it's glorious.
Speaker 1 (31:12):
And then we just eat the next day from morning tonight.
Speaker 5 (31:16):
It is wonderful. So all you kids out there, lock and.
Speaker 1 (31:19):
Load tonight, tigers and marry make out Christmas.
Speaker 13 (31:22):
Go get him as you have booze reeking from your pores,
as you do with the turkey trot in the town.

streets of your local rally.

to come good money, my mom sucking down and ten
(34:04):
up with the one two Smith.
Speaker 5 (34:06):
There's the record DK Metcalf move over.
Speaker 4 (34:10):
There's a new single season receiving yards leader in Seattle history,
and it's Jackson Smith.
Speaker 5 (34:17):
A Jigbumb.
Speaker 8 (34:19):
A few weeks ago, Cassie, a Seattle Seahawks fan, messaged
my brother Kyle Brant and expressed her frustrations with our
lack of coverage on her team. Kyle relayed the message
to us on live television, and then we all proceeded
to spend a few moments and minutes talking about what
we'd liked about the Seahawks. Since then, a lot has happened,
specifically for their star wide receiver.
Speaker 5 (34:40):
Jackson Smith and Jagbud.
Speaker 8 (34:42):
This past Sunday, Jason had a season high one hundred
and sixty seven receiving yards and two tds on eight receptions.
With that performance, Jaysn broke the Seattle Seahawks single season
record for receiving yards, previously held by DK Metcalf. What
took DK a season to do, Jasn has done in
just eleven games, which leads me to ask what other
(35:04):
records could JASN break with six games left.
Speaker 5 (35:06):
In the season.
Speaker 8 (35:08):
Jackson Smith, the Smith and jig Book, currently leads the
entire league in receiving yards with three hundred and thirteen.
That's two hundred and fifty nine yards more than the
guy in second place, which is the largest gap after
Week twelve between two pass catchers.
Speaker 5 (35:23):
Ever, he's also on pace to become.
Speaker 8 (35:25):
The first two thousand yard receiver in NFL history. And
the crazy part is he's doing this on the most
run heavy offense in the league. It doesn't make sense. Well,
that seems to be the same four wards people have
been saying since the Seattle Seahawks drafted him two years ago.
Due to a hamstring injury, Jaysn would only play three
(35:47):
games in this last.
Speaker 5 (35:48):
Year at Ohio State.
Speaker 8 (35:49):
However, John Snyder, general manager for the Seattle Seahawks, would
still pick Jasen in the first round of the following draft.
It doesn't make sense. On top of that, Dk Metcalf
and Tyler Lockett, We're both coming off of one thousand
in yard seasons. It doesn't make sense. And then this
(36:09):
past offseason happened. Not only did the Seahawks hire their
third offensive coordinator in three years, but they would also
sign one of the best slot receivers in this generation,
Cooper Cup. Again, it doesn't make sense. Maybe the only
thing that starting to make sense is, no matter the
situation or organization, Jackson Smith and Jegba always has been
(36:32):
the most major Ohio State has been known to produce
really good wide receivers. I would know because I played
with two of them, Michael Thomas and Tedgin Junior. During
Jaysn's three years at Ohio State, he would be in
a wide receiver room filled with guys like Chris o'lave,
Garrett Wilson, Marvin Harrison Junior, and Offensive Rookie of the
(36:52):
Year candidate imecha Igbuca, but Jaysen was always regarded as
the best in the group. After one day I practice
back in Columbus, former Ohio State quarterback C. J.
Speaker 5 (37:03):
Stroud had this to say.
Speaker 8 (37:05):
The first day of practice, he won handed the pass
and I was like, this, dude's for real. Ever since then,
he's been one of the best I've ever played with,
if not the best. That says a lot coming from
the guy that had to throw the ball to all
of these different wide receivers, But it's more major when
it comes from someone in the same room.
Speaker 5 (37:25):
Chris was always there.
Speaker 8 (37:26):
I mean, it was just a family man, especially with
what they got going on there.
Speaker 3 (37:29):
And I'll say this is the Jackson Smith.
Speaker 5 (37:31):
He the best one for real, Like he the truth?
He the truth? Man?
Speaker 8 (37:36):
Is it starting to make sense now. I hope so,
but if not, you got six more weeks to watch history. Lastly,
in the spirit of my favorite holiday, Thanksgiving, I'll leave
you with one more jem Jay sends. Three hundred and
thirteen receiving arts are the most in NFL history before
(37:58):
Thanksgiving weekend. Just take a gander at that list, guys
like Tory Holt, Jerry Rice, Isaac Bruce. How's that for
some major motivation before your Turkey boast tomorrow, have one Maja,
thanks for giving.
Speaker 5 (38:12):
Everybody.
Speaker 3 (38:15):
It's time for what's your beach? Presented by Old Trapper.
That's right.
Speaker 2 (38:19):
The defending Super Bowl champions in the Philadelphia Eagles are
a fascinating study not only of football, but are a
part of the country that people don't truly know what
they are about unless you're from there. Truth be told,
my mom is from Philadelphia. She's five feet tall, she's feisty.
Some people say they're scared of her sometimes, and.
Speaker 3 (38:36):
That tracks for people that are from Philly.
Speaker 2 (38:39):
They're intense, they're dedicated, they know about their business all
right now.
Speaker 3 (38:44):
It's a fascinating thing because people don't know what to
do about.
Speaker 2 (38:48):
Some characters from Philadelphia However, when a certain behavior comes
out of the city and it hits a national spotlight,
you're like, you know what that tracks if you're from Philly.
And there is never a better example than at a
press conference this week with their current defensive coordinator, Vic Fangio,
members of the Press Corps had some beef with each other.
Speaker 5 (39:10):
We didn't get off in time finish. What's that when
you're shut up when you finished?
Speaker 12 (39:17):
They're wasting?
Speaker 3 (39:23):
Are they fighting with each other? Indeed they are.
Speaker 2 (39:25):
Mike Garrafola, please get in here, as our resident member
of he who hails from a part of Philadelphia.
Speaker 3 (39:31):
I think we went to school there.
Speaker 2 (39:32):
Can you help us out with what just went down
during this?
Speaker 3 (39:34):
Fangiopresser, Oh God.
Speaker 4 (39:38):
John McMullen and Reuben Frank and I love both.
Speaker 5 (39:41):
Of those guys.
Speaker 4 (39:41):
I love a lot of folks down there in the
Philadelphia media.
Speaker 5 (39:44):
And I had two thoughts right away. It reminded me
of the water boy. Shut up, Brent, right, That was one.
Speaker 4 (39:51):
The other one is that that's gonna sound like a
lot of Thanksgiving tables. Politics comes up at the table,
so we're already in the holiday mood in that regard.
But what you need to understand about the Philadelphia Eagles
media is that it is by far the hardest place
to get a question in. At a press conference, everybody's
(40:11):
asking like six at a time. So what you're trying
to do is you're trying to time up the end
of the answer because you gotta get it hey and
like three, and then Vick's got to decide, like, who
am I looking at my man, Zach Berman with the
athletic my former colleague. I taught him many things in
this business. He's gonna have to teach me. It's unbelievable
how he is able to get question after questions and
(40:33):
he's not like he's a dominion of guy. He's not
the tallest guy in pound for pound. It's unbelievable how
he gets the questions in. But when you try to
time it up sometimes you just step on the answers there.
So that's not a product of John being rude. It's like,
I got to get this question in, so I gotta
time it up right because if not, I'm gonna get
run over by the rest of the cavalry.
Speaker 5 (40:52):
Here.
Speaker 1 (40:52):
I can best serve the audience by not making comments.
But I'm just going to Rewrack the clip. Can we
watch this again?
Speaker 8 (40:57):
Go ahead?
Speaker 9 (40:58):
We didn't get off some time.
Speaker 5 (41:00):
What's that when you're shut up?
Speaker 13 (41:04):
The guy finished.
Speaker 1 (41:11):
It's just like that was a full shut up, like
he didn't even hesitate.
Speaker 5 (41:15):
Are those guys friends? I don't know them?
Speaker 1 (41:16):
Like I remember when when Ben Johnson's opening press conference
he came out and took a shot at Matt Lafleur,
and everyone was like, they're not friends, Like they don't
come from the same coaching tree.
Speaker 5 (41:25):
That's crazy that he did.
Speaker 1 (41:26):
That, the no hesitation shut up, Like, I hope that
they're friends otherwise, that's really really rude, man, tire No.
Speaker 8 (41:35):
I just imagined Mike g being Vic Fangio and he
was responsible with cooking his grandmother's soup and he left
it on the stove too long, and he's like, I mean,
we just left it and somebody in the family is
like shut up, Like they just start arguing amongst each other.
And then Mike, you just do that famous like sit
back and be like, Okay, y'all can't start arguing and
(41:55):
take me out of this. Mike Gea, I got a question,
because I know you also follow the giants. What's a
different etiquette like with the Eagles media compared to the
Giants media, because I've heard a lot about the Giants
as well.
Speaker 5 (42:08):
No it's not, I'm telling you Philadelphia is is.
Speaker 4 (42:11):
I don't say the worst because it's the best, because
they all have and they have good questions too that
they want to ask. It's not like, you know, oh,
they're all fighting. It's like that was the one that
you were trying to get. Like, no, they're all pretty
good questions. It's just it's unbelievable post game. And there's
a lot like that's during the week postgame when everybody's there.
Forget it, you're better than me.
Speaker 2 (42:29):
I mean, there is nothing worse than the collective exhale
of the press score when you do get your question
in and they're like.
Speaker 3 (42:35):
That's seriously what we all just stop down for God?
Speaker 5 (42:38):
What are you doing?
Speaker 3 (42:38):
You're you're ridiculous.
Speaker 2 (42:40):
Big Fangio has ever been more puzzled by an offense,
let alone that press situation where he's like, I don't
know what to do here and he looks over at
Bob Lang like how do we conduct our business?
Speaker 3 (42:48):
Shut up? No, just kidding. We love each other. On GMFB,
that was what's your baby?
Speaker 5 (42:52):
Was perfect's check like that, I do you punch on
before too? Yeah, that's comm
