Good Morning Football is the production of the NFL in
partnership with iHeartRadio.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Spicy Little Wednesday on GMFB. It's May seventh.
Speaker 3 (00:13):
Everybody, I'm Jamie Arta, Isaiah Standback and Isaac Rochel sit
here with me in Los Angeles, but Kyle Brandt in
New York City. It's our favorite kind of breaking news
type of Wednesday.
Speaker 4 (00:23):
We love it.
Speaker 1 (00:24):
Cowboys logo, Steelers logo, wide receivers, big personalities, things that matter,
and breaking news were all over it.
Speaker 4 (00:31):
And what is one word.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
That we would use to describe the mood of Jerry
Jones today.
Speaker 4 (00:36):
We'll get into it shortly. It's good Morning Football. We
got news today. Let's roll Good Morning Football.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
That's right, this is GMFB. Everybody welcome inside. It's Wednesday
in early May.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
The Draft. It happened last month. Isaac, Isaiah, Kyle, guys
going to different teams.
Speaker 3 (01:05):
We thought teams fulfilled their needs, but now we're making trades.
On May seventh, the Steelers have traded one of their star,
their star wide receiver, George Pickens, to the Dallas Cowboys.
This news broke early this morning, and we are joined
now by our NFL networked insider, Ian rapoport to discuss
the basics of this trade, how this came to be,
the parties involved, and what the Cowboys look forward to
(01:28):
now with Pickens in Dallas their.
Speaker 5 (01:30):
First The big news for the Dallas Cowboys they have
now finally gone all in.
Speaker 6 (01:35):
They are finalizing a deal.
Speaker 5 (01:37):
The Cowboys are for George Pickens, the former now Steelers
star receiver.
Speaker 6 (01:42):
Obviously, the Steelers acquired.
Speaker 5 (01:43):
DK Metcalf early in the offseason. You wondered immediately what
would that mean for George Pickens. Is their essentially room
in the receiver room for both of them? All parties
said the right thing. Meanwhile, the Dallas Cowboys very quietly,
very quietly worked on this big time deal, try to
get it done before the draft was not able to
come to completion. Then over the last couple days restarted
(02:05):
the process of trying to acquire George Pickens. In the end,
that is exactly what is going to happen in a
deal that should be finalized today. In all, it is
a third round pick going to the Pittsburgh Steelers in
exchange for George Pickens.
Speaker 6 (02:19):
Also expected to be a late round pickswap.
Speaker 5 (02:22):
In that deal, but basically around third round value for
George Pickens, which we look at the landscape of receiver
deals over the course of this offseason, that's about what
it is, a little more, a little less. The Dallas
Cowboys now acquire a huge talent, someone to help Dak Prescott,
someone to help CD Lamb City Lamp tweeting about it
last night on social media, was extremely excited, it seemed about.
Speaker 6 (02:44):
The deal is also a risk for the Cowboys.
Speaker 5 (02:47):
Pickens has certainly had his moments with the Pittsburgh Steelers,
but the talent you cannot question. And he is now
headed to Dallas and we're going.
Speaker 4 (02:55):
To talk about the Cowboys shortly.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
I just want to add lip something about Pittsburgh. There
was the thought that some of the allure for a
tent potential Aaron Rodgers' meeting with the Steelers becoming that
team's quarterback would be those two great receivers that he
would get to play with. Now Pickens completely gone. Is
there any state of the nation, Are there any murmurs?
Is there anything going on with Rodgers? And how does
this play into it?
Speaker 5 (03:17):
Well, first of all, as far as Aaron Rodgers goes,
he has been working with a potential future Steelers receiver,
but it's not George Pickens. Rogers has been working with
DK Metcalf, So if you wondered what Rogers himself thought
might happen, it.
Speaker 6 (03:30):
Seems he has been preparing for your future with DK.
Not as much George Pickens. Not sure why.
Speaker 5 (03:36):
Maybe Pickens was really busy, maybe couldn't make it happen.
Speaker 6 (03:39):
There's plenty of reasons why.
Speaker 5 (03:40):
But Rodgers has been preparing for metcalp and it does
seem like that rapport is being built. It always seemed
possible that even if the Steelers ended up signing Aaron Rodgers,
always seemed possible George Pickens would be on the way
out again. There were some moments last year where you
sort of wondered, like, all right, where is this headed.
Speaker 6 (03:57):
I know there was some rumblings before the.
Speaker 5 (03:59):
Draft, Dallas never stopped working, and usually when one side
is open to a deal and one side really wanted
to player, eventually they make that happen. So the Cowboys
now acquired George Pickens, and I would be surprised if
the Steelers are done at the receiver position, likely to
at least sign one more, and there a couple talented
receivers still on the market that wouldn't consider this to
(04:19):
be a big surprise for Aaron Rodgers and for anyone
following the Steelers.
Speaker 3 (04:23):
Yeah, it's a good point I to make that George
Pickens could have made himself available, he decided not to.
It's been Aaron Rodgers and DK Metcalf just up the
street from here working out on the field at U See, LA.
But we're talking about George Pickens this morning and the
fact that he's wearing a star on his helmet. Come
the twenty twenty five season. Isaiah standback. You were drafted
by the Cowboys. You live in Dallas, You work for
the Cowboys on their TV production.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
You have been giddy since last I saw you ten minutes.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
So what is going on with the Dallas Cowboys and
this move that they make to bring Pickens there?
Speaker 4 (04:52):
I just give my mister Burns fingers out, mister Barns.
Speaker 7 (04:56):
Dallas Cowboys have been working on something over the last
few months. We obviously know they didn't pull any triggers
on receivers in this year's and they don't have what
we consider to be in the NFL a true number
two receiver.
Speaker 4 (05:09):
They have Jalen Tober that they picked them in the
drafts some years ago.
Speaker 7 (05:12):
He had more touchdowns than Ceedee Lamb last year, but
he hasn't been the guy that you can necessarily rest
your hat on as a true number two.
Speaker 4 (05:18):
He's more of a three. So the Dallas Cowboys had
a hole to field, and how did they fill that hole?
Speaker 7 (05:23):
Well, we just found out today going out and grabbing
one of the league's best deep ball threats, one of
the best contested catch receivers in the league. This dude
is tenacious. He has a little greediness to him, right,
his little fight and he goes out there and gets
the ball at the high point. We saw what difference
he made with the Pittsburgh Steelers, especially when Russell Wilson
(05:44):
took over command immediately, if they were able to throw
the ball down the field. Now, when you take his
abilities and you pair him up with the Ceedee Lamb,
who is arguably the best receiver in the league. You
can talk about Justin Jefferson and a handful of other
guys Jamar Chase, but Ceede Lamb is in that conversation
with the top of the receivers in the league. Now,
all of a sudden, you have a true one and
a two to ten. They didn't go out and get
(06:05):
a number two receiver. They got a true number one
receiver to play number two as a receiver for the
Dallas Cowboys. And now you're seeing on your screen this
is what Dak Prescott.
Speaker 4 (06:13):
Has to work with.
Speaker 7 (06:13):
He has a CD Lamb on the one side, he
has a George Pickens on the other side, and he
has a Jake Ferguson.
Speaker 4 (06:19):
Now people are gonna look at Jake Ferguson to say, well,
who is that.
Speaker 7 (06:21):
Well, Jake Ferguson was one of the best tight ends
of the league, win healthy two seasons ago. He had
an injury injury, playing good season last year, but he
is going to be back.
Speaker 4 (06:29):
He is going to be healthy. So you have some
goons on the outside.
Speaker 7 (06:32):
You have a goon to work the middle of the field,
and you have a dog the Great Wall of China
sitting there at the offensive line position. Because you have
three for her first round picks on the old line,
Dak is gonna be protected.
Speaker 4 (06:42):
They are going to run the ball.
Speaker 7 (06:43):
You're not gonna be able to load the box for
seven and eight guys because you have to worry about
these two guys on the outside.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
Listen, I'm supposed to push back and be a Cowboys.
Speaker 4 (06:51):
Curmudgeon and I'm not.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
I will ask, how about them Cowboys?
Speaker 4 (06:54):
I'm impressed? Dare I say, I'm surprised.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
I've been screaming and begging for them to just wake
up and make a bold move. You know that that
meme where like a stick figure and he's got a
little stick and he's just poking. Somebody's like, come on,
do something. That's been us poking. The Cowboys logo as
Howie Roseman rules the world and the Commanders have next
and the Giants are reloading Cowboys, underwhelming head coach, higher,
(07:19):
free agency draft, and now this is the Lightning Bolts,
and I have no pushback. They needed talent and wide receiver.
They got talent and wide receiver. And I think this
is incredible because if you look at CD and Pickens,
it's like they who did they get CD to be
his number two? They got CD? They got himself. Look
at the measurables. I know there's a lot more complicated
nuance in these players. Wow, six two six, three, two
(07:42):
hundred two hundred four five four four seven, Literally the
exact same vertical jump and pretty much exactly the same
arm length. Physically, it is carbon copies. It's Pam saying
they're the same picture. These guys are on either side
of Dak maybe the same side. They're out there physically imposing,
making a threat to the Eagles, to the Commanders.
Speaker 4 (08:04):
They have a number two receiver.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
And more importantly, they have a pulse. They're doing something
I've been screaming at the Jones family.
Speaker 4 (08:12):
Guys. Engage here, get in the fight.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
Don't just run the same nonsense back they didn't. I've
called them the most boring team in the NFC East.
They just acquired maybe the least boring player in the league.
Speaker 4 (08:25):
For all of his faults, and we'll get into them.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
Because I don't think this is necessarily a doomsday horrible
thing for the Steelers, but it is a sign of
life for the Cowboys.
Speaker 4 (08:34):
Was going.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
And now the needles are jumping. I'm impressed. I'm a
little excited. And they are far more interesting and far
more dynamic. George Pickens is not always a parade and
a picnic guys, and there will be a lot of
attention on him, but he's incredibly talented.
Speaker 4 (08:52):
They need it, they.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
Got it, and the fact that they did something makes
me get high five to the Jones family.
Speaker 4 (08:57):
Thank you.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
And the last number to add to that side by
side is the fact that CD is just twenty six
and George Pickens is twenty four. So I mean, Buffa
with those two, I mean, that is incredible comparison for that.
Speaker 8 (09:08):
I mean, I know it's actually kind of mind blowing. Yeah,
they're that similar.
Speaker 9 (09:11):
But at the end of the day, this is good
for football.
Speaker 8 (09:14):
I mean, I feel like the entire NFL loves when
the Cowboys are rolling on all cylinders and the fact
that they made this decision, everybody loves it. And Kyle,
you just hit the nail on the head the issue
with the Cowboys every years, what.
Speaker 9 (09:24):
Are they going to do?
Speaker 8 (09:25):
What are we doing, like make this decision to really
take them to the next level, And this is it. Also,
I love it for this two number one picture, Like
you're seeing teams all over the league start to make
these moves that have two number one receivers, which I
think might become the new norm. And Isaiah you said it.
You described Pickens as like a number two. I see
this as a one in one fuation and they're going
(09:47):
to have to figure out how to make that work.
The flip side of that is when you have two
number ones with number one personalities and you have two
receivers that naturally had big personalities anyways, could become a
little complicated.
Speaker 9 (09:59):
So I'm curious to see how that works out.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
I think that's exactly what I was going to go
back to Kyle with Isaiah.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
To your point is that you may have two number.
Speaker 3 (10:06):
Ones from a talent perspective, but Kyle, is George Pickens
prepared to constantly be there is no other way a
number two wide receiver.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
To Cede Lamb, this is his future.
Speaker 3 (10:17):
This is what he has now maybe not signed up
for because this trade was done between two organizations.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
But Kyle, we talk.
Speaker 3 (10:23):
About Pickens all the time, before the whistle, after the whistle,
the conversations.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
On the sideline, the meme.
Speaker 3 (10:28):
If you're going to bring up a meme, bring up
the George Pickens meme of him being drafted and staring
at the TV. There's a lot there is. Is George
Pickens prepared to be a true number two?
Speaker 1 (10:38):
Well, listen, I think he would have been if he
stayed in Pittsburgh behind DK, and he would have had
a lesser quarterback going to him. George Pixon is about
to have an excellent quarterback Like that, to me is
the end of the conversation.
Speaker 4 (10:48):
Dak Prescott will get him the ball. He'll be open
a lot because of CD.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
I don't think with Pickens it's an issue of I'm
the number one. I think it's often an issue of I.
Speaker 4 (10:58):
Want the ball.
Speaker 1 (10:59):
He's going to get the ball like this is a
very very comfortable situation. Can go way back in the
history of Dallas Cowboys quote unquote number two receivers to
Alvin Harper and Michael Irvin, all of those guys. George
Pickens is it feels like a cowboy. It feels like
a fit. Of course, he's mercurial. And listen. I put
up that side by side of the two of them
(11:20):
and CD, and I said, look, they're the same player.
And a very common response on Twitter is yeah, physically,
except one of those two.
Speaker 4 (11:26):
Players is insane. All right, I get it.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
Pickens is a little different. I'm not calling him insane,
but there is this. I mean, we can't just say, ah,
he'll just slide in there and he'll get his eighty
five catches and he'll hide five CD every time he
gets the ball, I think that George Pickens is in
the best quarterback situation of his career, maybe the best
offensive situation of his career. In a true passing game,
the cowboy is not going to do that great running
(11:49):
the ball.
Speaker 4 (11:50):
They're chucking this thing.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
So all this stuff, I think it's like if you
were looking to give him a cookie.
Speaker 4 (11:56):
I think he got a cookie.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
And by the way, I think this is all of
the reasons the Pittsburgh Steelers did not want to give
him the biggest cookie of all, which is a contract extension.
Speaker 7 (12:03):
Every twa needs a Draymond Green. Okay, every team needs
a run our test. I don't care who you are.
We see it all the time. I was in a
lot of wide receiver rooms. In every single wide receiver
room we had, we had somebody who was the enforcer.
The Dallas Cowboys want to run the ball. You have
to have a physical, greedy, aggressive receiver to go out
(12:25):
there and put hands on people. And understand this with
the philosophy of running the ball. We all know Schottenheimer's
the family tree history in terms of their ability to
run the zonne. If you try to line up one
person just a cornerback over either one of these guys,
you are going to run into a problem. Both of
these receivers. Like we talked about one A, one B.
(12:47):
I don't care how you want to number it, they
require a safety over the top.
Speaker 4 (12:51):
If you don't put a safety.
Speaker 7 (12:53):
Over the top of either one of these guys, you
are gonna pay for it. So if you have a
safety over the top of Pickins, you have a safety
over the top of CD Lamb. That means that you
have a six or seven man box. You can run
the ball. And if you're Dallas Cowboys, you're running back
by committee. If you have any kind of efficient running
game and you want to bring one guy into the box,
now all of a sudden, one of those guys is
(13:14):
I sold.
Speaker 4 (13:15):
That is a complete problem for anybody. I don't care
what division you play for.
Speaker 9 (13:19):
Isaiah.
Speaker 8 (13:19):
I like hearing you talk about the Cowboys, like you
really get into this.
Speaker 9 (13:22):
It's like you're a true ambassador. Kyle.
Speaker 8 (13:24):
I'm kind of curious on this because you just talked
about this. You talked about that maybe like the personality
that's coming out with this with Pickens, and you talked about.
Speaker 9 (13:32):
The Draymond Green.
Speaker 8 (13:33):
How long do you think the Cowboys actually have where
they need to win, Like, how small is this window
of time where they need to win early?
Speaker 9 (13:41):
Get these guys excited, get.
Speaker 8 (13:43):
The energy positive, because that's my only concern with this,
Like these players are phenomenal, we know that, but it's
just like, dang, okay, what's that schedule release look like?
Because in the first four or five six games, if
they're not firing on all cylinders, I think you might
have a complicated situation.
Speaker 4 (13:58):
Yeah, Mike, Mike, Jimmy knows this.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
My question always with the Cowboys every single year is
how is this year different. It's the same team, it's
the same product, it's the same quarterback, it's the same coach.
Well it's not the same coach, And like, this is
a very dynamic change to the offense, and maybe it'll
blow up in their face, maybe it'll go terribly, but
I'm choosing to think positive right now. That for the question,
why is this team different? This teem's a lot different
(14:22):
with that player. That player, for all his faults and talents,
is going to change things I think for the positive.
But in terms of starting the season and wins, like
they have to be Philadelphia, they have to compete with Philadelphia.
They can't just sit back and be like, I guess
this is the Eagles dynasty era because Roseman is a
better GM than us and they have better players. That's nonsense.
(14:42):
The Cowboys aren't supposed to do filler seasons. They're not
supposed to be happy with this and that they're supposed
to win. So this is a move that says like, no,
we're fighting back. I'm almost inspired by them.
Speaker 4 (14:52):
Because I was.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
I had let them go, and I just thought it
was like, all right, Commanders Eagles, and we'll see it
from the Giants. The Cowboys made a chess move here,
and I just I'm impressed.
Speaker 4 (15:01):
I'm almost proud of the Cowboys. I'm fired up.
Speaker 3 (15:03):
This just made our day week, our next season so
much more interesting. Let me just dangle something out there
for GMFB, because you know how we operate when things
like this happen, we like to peel back the curtain
even a little bit farther. When DK Metcalff was traded
to the Pittsburgh Steelers and it was supposed to be
Metcalf and Pickens in the wide receiver room, we really
honed in Kyle, as you know, on the Steelers wide
receiver coach in Zakazani. And then we did a deep
(15:25):
dive on Zacha Zanni And.
Speaker 2 (15:26):
How is this guy?
Speaker 6 (15:27):
Kyle?
Speaker 3 (15:27):
Can I just can I just tease something up for
you real quick. The Dallas Cowboys wide receiver coach, in
his first job in the NFL is a guy by
the name of Junior Adams. He's had a lot of
stops in college and an fbs FCS first NFL job.
One of his stops, though, Kyle was at Eastern Washington
at the time where Cooper Cup was ascending into the
(15:49):
draft pick that he became this guy in college years ago,
coach Cooper Cup and now this this is a wide
receiver room. I think we got to go a deep
dive on Junior Adams at some.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
Point this week.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
I think we should because Cooper Cup and George Pickens
are practically the same player, totally really tell them apart,
same guy, same personality, same talent. Listen, you mentioned those
Steelers wide receiver coach. Maybe his job just got a
lot easier. The Steelers factor in this is very, very,
very big.
Speaker 4 (16:12):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
They just let one of their most talented receivers go
on an offense that does not have a lot of
talent and doesn't have a quarterback.
Speaker 4 (16:20):
So I mean, my question is if Rogers is going
to join the Steelers.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
In that meeting he had with him, was there an
understanding that George Pickens is not going to be here?
Keep that in the room, or is a huge part
of the allure of having a forty one year old
say let's do one more season saying to him we
got our fault, but we got two electric wide receivers,
and now is Rogers like, I don't want to join
that group. Listen, last year they didn't have much going,
(16:44):
they don't have a quarterback. Now the wide receiver group
is far less talented, the running back group has far
less muscle the Steelers. I know there's a lot of
very disappointed Steelers fans. My bottom line on this, and
I'll get to this. I know we're late in the segment.
I don't think the Steelers wanted to be in business
with George Pickens moving forward.
Speaker 4 (17:00):
He's in the final year of his contract.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
They would have to give him a huge extension for
tons of money. There's a headache factor, There's an off
the field factor that Mike Tomlin has been through with
that position many times before we know the names. I
don't think they wanted a future with George Pickens. My
question is do they still have a future with Aaron Rodgers?
And if Rogers shows up with this Steelers offense, is
he doing anything next year?
Speaker 4 (17:23):
That's fascinating to me?
Speaker 3 (17:24):
Not for nothing, when agent David Mulagetta does call about
Michael Parsons, he will also be talking about George Pickens
because I believe them to have the same representation. So
those conversations hopefully will have a fruitful nature for both
of those now Cowboys players. We had questions for Whiteboard Wednesday.
We have thrown them out the window and we are talking. Sorry, Harbo,
(17:45):
We're gonna move you in to next Whiteboard Wednesday next
week because we got to go Cowboys heavy on Whiteboard Wednesday.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
And Steelers a little bit too. We know how that man.
Speaker 3 (17:52):
Feels about Justin Herbert, but how does Jerry Jones feel
this morning? It's one of many questions we are asking
during Whiteboard Wednesday.
Speaker 9 (17:58):
Kyle.
Speaker 4 (18:00):
Plus, we got all kinds of guests.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
You know, the great Gary Vee's everywhere. He's a Jets fan,
he's great with cards, he's like.
Speaker 4 (18:08):
Gambit in the X Men.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
It's incredible he's coming in here. Look at that enthusiasm.
I bet he even has takes on Pickens and Ceedee
Lamb and Rogers has takes on everything. Don't worry about it,
we got it covered in Steelers and Cowboys as JIMFB.
Speaker 10 (18:21):
Stay with us, Good Morning Football.
Speaker 3 (18:36):
We're just having a blast of the breaking news this
morning on a Wednesday, and the fact that George Pickens
is going to be wearing that star in his helmet
next season.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
He's going from the Steelers to.
Speaker 3 (18:45):
The Cowboys as a wide receiver two or many say
wide receiver one and one paired up with Ceedee Lamb.
Speaker 2 (18:51):
There will be a third.
Speaker 3 (18:52):
Day twenty twenty seven draft pick swap for this guy
and the Steelers get a third rounder next year. George
Pickens is entering the final year of his contract. You
would assume the Cowboys are going to have to engage
in those conversations sooner than later.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
But this is what it looks like now.
Speaker 3 (19:06):
The Steelers have DK Metcalf in their room. George Pickens
is on the move to Dallas whiteboard Wednesday. Everybody gid up.
While we know that George Pickens is now on the move.
We have been begging, pleading for Jerry Jones the Dallas
Cowboys to give us something. Earlier this week, we asked
everybody at the table, but Kyle Brant already did this
exercise when he said I feel nothing about the Cowboys.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
Now. That was on Monday, Kyle, I bet.
Speaker 3 (19:32):
You have another one word, but I'm not going to
ask you about that. I want to ask about Jerry Jones.
What is one word that you would describe Jerry Jones's
mood today? Isaiah, you go first write the word on
your whiteboard and share it with class.
Speaker 7 (19:44):
All right, I'm actually gonna throw to a video while
I said, but Jerry Jones today, you guys have seen
him is giddy. He is giddy, and if we have
the clip of him from the draft, this is exactly
what he is doing today.
Speaker 4 (19:57):
All right, we don't have the video, we just have
a picture.
Speaker 7 (19:59):
But if you guys remember the draft room after they
got their draft selection, Jerry Jones is doing his little
That's what I wanted to show. That's exactly how he's
feeling right now. Because Jerry Jones likes pulling the trigger.
I truly believe that a lot of times. His son
kind of reels him back in Stephen Jones. They obviously
they co run this team. Obviously Jerry Jones want everybody
know that he runs a team. But I think they
(20:19):
do make a lot of business decisions together. And I
think this is one of the moves that he really
has been wanting to pool. He was able to go
out there and get a premiere player, one receiver to
play the number two position, and these guys are now
extremely dangerous.
Speaker 4 (20:32):
The receiver.
Speaker 9 (20:34):
That's good.
Speaker 8 (20:35):
I actually was gonna say giddy, but you know what,
I have a better one.
Speaker 4 (20:37):
And it's top dog.
Speaker 2 (20:38):
That's two words, Isaac.
Speaker 9 (20:40):
You know what, I want to notre dame. But it
wasn't a language.
Speaker 8 (20:45):
Major major, Kyle, don't worry about what my man.
Speaker 9 (20:50):
I didn't play school.
Speaker 11 (20:51):
He was.
Speaker 4 (20:53):
This guy feels like the top dog.
Speaker 8 (20:55):
He said a listen to Kyle talk about how you
know what are the Cowboys gonna do?
Speaker 9 (21:00):
Can we make a move?
Speaker 4 (21:01):
Do they have a pulse?
Speaker 8 (21:02):
Finally, Jerry Jones gets to sit in the booth like
he looks now and just be like, yeah, I do this.
Don't let him win a few games early Jerry Jones
might be talking in the media. Would I be surprised, No,
but no doubt. The two for one word.
Speaker 9 (21:14):
Is top dog.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
I didn't play school.
Speaker 9 (21:17):
That's an Alzheimer's a good line, thank you.
Speaker 4 (21:20):
That's how about Cardinal Jones line?
Speaker 1 (21:22):
Right, yeah, Cardinal Jones back in the day of the
Ohowa State quarterback. We didn't come here to play school
legendary line. I was an English major, so I'm very
accustomed to, like, very sophisticated literature like Willy Wonka and
the Chocolate Factory. And you know, Jerry Jones has kind
of Willy Wonka quality. He's got this giant factory. He's
always in this sales mode. It's kind of this magical aura.
And there's a word that Wanka would drop. And I
(21:43):
think that Jerry saves the special words for special days
like today. I think Jerry is feeling scrum diddly umptious,
and I think he'd absolutely nails every scrum diddly umptious.
Not scrum diddy umptious, that's illegal scrum diddly umptious. And
it pertains to a beautiful marshmallow filled.
Speaker 4 (22:02):
Chocolate bar or whatever it was. This is what Jerry
lives for. He doesn't have a lot of these days left.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
You know, like he's got this big, talented wide receiver
who's going to look great with the star at his
helmet and make plays and probably make some headlines for
the not the most ideal reasons, but you know what,
that'll sell jerseys and push glamour. And it's like, this
feels like this could have been a move in like
nineteen ninety one and Pickens could jump in there with
number eighty eight. The other number eighty eight, not CD.
(22:30):
I'm talking about the playmaker. Scrum diddly umpshious, that's my word.
Speaker 2 (22:34):
That's perfect, Kyle.
Speaker 3 (22:35):
Since I teed the segment up this way, I'll put
you on the spot.
Speaker 2 (22:38):
Do you have one word to how you're feeling currently
about the Dallas Cowboys.
Speaker 4 (22:42):
Yeah. Proud, not proud.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
That's an incredibly patronizing word for me to talk to
one of these great organizations to say I'm proud of them,
like they're a little kid.
Speaker 4 (22:50):
But in the NFC East lately they have been a
little kid. So I'm proud of you guys.
Speaker 3 (22:54):
Now get to school, all right, Second topic, that was perfect.
We will continue to discuss how this impacts the Dallas
Cowboys and the Steelers.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
But let's look elsewhere.
Speaker 3 (23:02):
Former Ravens Great Trail sugs through some praise to an
ex division rival Steelers quarterback and Ben Roethlisberger.
Speaker 12 (23:10):
Take listen, Roethlisberger is underrated and like like he got
more rings than Rogers. He got more rings than Breeze,
you know what I'm saying. He got like more rings
than Ben Marino, Like like, when you think about it,
he's got Yeah, he got it as many as Peyton
and Eli you know what I'm saying. So I would
(23:34):
say Roethlisberger, he's probably the most underrated.
Speaker 3 (23:38):
I'm actually amazed that he could come out and have
such fond opinions about this division rival quarterback that he
got after in his time. But that's a take Ben
Roethlisberger underrated quarterback, Isaiah, Do you have a different opinion
on who the most underrated quarterback of all time is?
Speaker 7 (23:53):
I do, and T Sugg's respects to you of a player,
I'm gonna go with somebody that you actually mentioned, and
it's actually my former teammate who was my quarterback when
we won the Super Bowl, and that is Eli Manny
Eli Man is the most underrated, undervalue two time undefeated
Super Bowl champion quarterback that there has been. This dude
hasn't lost in the Super Bowl. He beat Tom Brady twice, right,
(24:15):
not just once, but twice in the biggest game that
we have in our sport, and he never gets the credit.
Speaker 4 (24:20):
Roethlisberger.
Speaker 7 (24:21):
You think about Pittsburgh, you think about Roethlisberger, you think
about you think about the Patriots, you think about obviously,
Tom Brady, you think about all these teams, you think
about the quarterback.
Speaker 6 (24:29):
When it comes to the Giants in the Super Bowl runs.
Speaker 7 (24:31):
They always talk about the defense, right, The defense won
the games, they won these they dated for him. No
Eli Manning. He needs some respect on it. And when
it comes around to the Hall of Fame, don't play
with him.
Speaker 9 (24:39):
I love it, but I'll say this.
Speaker 8 (24:41):
Yesterday we talked about, was Kyle Allen the best quarterback
in the NFL?
Speaker 9 (24:44):
Right now? Our excuse me?
Speaker 2 (24:46):
Yes, we love.
Speaker 8 (24:50):
Matter of fact rights, Josh Allen the best quarterback in
the NFL. Kyle was like, you know what he is,
and we were making the ring argument. So rings obviously
don't matter on this show. So I'm going to Phil
Dad Gummet Rivers. Nice, great teammate, unbelievable player, played a
number of years, had almost as many kids as he
(25:10):
played years. And I just feel like Phil is a
guy that when you talk about, you know, great quarterbacks
that have played in this league, people don't really bring
up Phil like I want to hear his name. And
I can't say it enough. How great of a teammate
he was.
Speaker 2 (25:23):
Phil, Dad Gummant, Dad gummt could have been your one.
Speaker 4 (25:25):
Word from Jerry Jones was a monile.
Speaker 2 (25:28):
It's true, Yeah, what you got no doubt?
Speaker 1 (25:31):
And that's a great answer. And I've always loved Phil.
One of the most watchable players ever. I actually I
don't agree with T Suggs. I don't think it's Roethlisberger
because I just I have so much respect for Roethlisberger.
Speaker 4 (25:40):
He does not underrated.
Speaker 6 (25:41):
For me.
Speaker 1 (25:41):
I think he's amazing. I look at him as amazing.
I think a lot of people do too. But then
my answer, most underrated quarterback is Drew Bledsoe for so
many reasons. This is a guy who was a number
one overall pick, who goes to the Super Bowl, he
wins the AFC, he's killing.
Speaker 4 (25:56):
It in New England. He goes on later.
Speaker 1 (25:59):
He's he's cool, he's kind of a good attitude, his
name is cool. He shows up in Jerry Maguire, which
was really cool. He played really well later in his
career with the Cowboys and Buffalo. But the problem with
why he's underrated is like you can't have a legacy
conversation about Drew Bledsoe for one second without talking about
Tom bleeping Brady all the time that follows him around
(26:21):
aside from Tom Brady.
Speaker 4 (26:23):
I get it.
Speaker 1 (26:23):
I know what happened in Moe Lewis and blah blah blah.
This guy was great before Tom Brady, after Tom Brady.
It's a guy that when you were young, like getting
his jersey was really cool. His arm was incredible. The
fact that he came from the Northwest was awesome. The
fact now that he just sits around selling and ostensibly
drinking wine all day. It's just like, I want to
be Drew Bledsoe in my next life. I know kids
(26:45):
want to grow up to be Tom Brady. I want
to be Drew Bledsoe, my most underrated quarterback ever.
Speaker 2 (26:50):
That's an awesome answer.
Speaker 3 (26:51):
I'm sitting here and I actually just said one name,
and I want to eat up to the table and too, Kyle,
if he had played long enough, and maybe if he
had had a prolific career but didn't win the way
that you're kind of making the Philip Rivers parallel, would
you qualify maybe Andrew Luck as an underrated quarterback and
maybe the lost potential that we didn't get to see
from him.
Speaker 2 (27:09):
Would he be a part of that conversation, Kyle.
Speaker 1 (27:11):
I think Andrew Luck is in that club of guys
who just like man they left already. You know, he's
not the statue of Barry Sanders or Calvin Johnson, but
his legacy is incomplete. It's like there's no letter grade
on his career. It's an eye for incomplete and tough
as how super talented, one of the best prospects ever.
But I don't look at him as underrated. I just
(27:32):
I look at it as incomplete. That's kind of annoying.
Speaker 2 (27:34):
You can't assess, you can't assess or evaluate all. Right,
last one Chargers head coach. We are going to get
coachar Bond here.
Speaker 3 (27:41):
Jim Harbaugh revealed some pretty high aspirations for his QB
justin Herbert last week we talked about it.
Speaker 13 (27:46):
Take a listen I just woke up the other day,
got to get Justin Herbert to the Hall of Fame.
Must get Justin Herbert to the Hall of Fame. You
woke up and said that, Yeah, Yeah, it's just one
of those things that you wake up and kind of
like three thirty four in the morning, and sometimes that's
when your best ideas come. Yeah, you kind of processed
(28:07):
that and that that would mean winning a couple of
Super Bowls U and there'd be a lot of a
lot of people would benefit, you know from that. So
that's that's a worthy goal.
Speaker 3 (28:18):
Can I just sidebar before I asked this question about Harbaugh, Kyle,
you've interacted with coach Harbaugh. It feels like and rich
Eison just totally fulfilled this for me, this theory that
I have. It feels like Harbaugh says some stuff sometimes,
but he's so engaging and you so want to keep
drawing things out of him that you will pretty much
agree with anything he says, no matter how outlandish it is.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
So when he.
Speaker 3 (28:41):
Says sometimes the best ideas come at three am, you
know what I mean, Richison's not awake at three am,
I'm fairly say, and he's like, yeah, absolutely, it's like, Rich, do.
Speaker 2 (28:49):
You actually agree with that? I really don't think so
and so.
Speaker 3 (28:52):
But Kyle, you've inter interviewed him, did you feel yourself
being like, yes, Coach, I absolutely understand that.
Speaker 2 (28:57):
That is what I feel like. Goes on in conversations
with coach Harbaugh.
Speaker 1 (29:00):
Yeah, when he gives the answers to whatever your questions are,
you're just happy that you kind of even understanding you're
on the same planet as him. So if it is
anything that makes sense, you're like, yes, I'll take this.
This is a win because he can say some things
that you don't understand at all.
Speaker 4 (29:13):
So three am to me, that's fine.
Speaker 2 (29:14):
Three am. He wants to send Herbert to the Hall
of Fame.
Speaker 3 (29:17):
That is the definition of personal hype man.
Speaker 2 (29:19):
Here's the question. Coach Tarba has been enamored with Justin.
Speaker 3 (29:22):
Herbert since the second he got to shake his quarterback's hand.
Speaker 2 (29:25):
The player that you think needs a.
Speaker 3 (29:27):
Personal hype man for next season is the following Isaiah.
Speaker 4 (29:32):
I would love to be.
Speaker 7 (29:33):
A representative and the Paul Hayman for this gentleman right here.
He resides in Cincinnati. His name is Trey Hendrickson. And
the reason why I believe that Trey Henderson needs a
hype man is because he is not hyping himself up.
Speaker 4 (29:50):
I forgot my fault.
Speaker 7 (29:52):
He's not hyping himself up right now, and he needs
somebody to speak on his behalf. This dude has the
most He's the third highest sack leader out of anybody.
Speaker 4 (30:01):
In the league. Over the last five years eighty games,
Miles Garrett.
Speaker 7 (30:05):
Had seventy two sacks and Henderson had seventy and a
half sex. He's one and a half sex behind Miles Geartt.
And we know how much Miles Garrett has got paid,
and Trey Henderson can't find nobody to give him a
check right now, go ahead and pay the man.
Speaker 4 (30:19):
I will be your Paul Haman.
Speaker 9 (30:20):
Wow, that was good. I'm like, I'm convinced by that.
That was good.
Speaker 8 (30:25):
Here's my guy, and this guy, this guy matters to me.
That is Robert Splaine just fine with the Patriots.
Speaker 9 (30:30):
This guy is a dog. I'm gonna read you something.
Three hundred and six tack who's.
Speaker 8 (30:34):
Five and a half sacks, seventeen tackles for lost, and
five interceptions over the last two years.
Speaker 9 (30:38):
This guy is unbelievable.
Speaker 8 (30:39):
Also, this is like, again a stat that doesn't matter
for this But this guy's got two under one. He's
built different just as a dad. This guy comes in
with a different mentality, dad strength.
Speaker 9 (30:48):
I also once saw this guy wear.
Speaker 8 (30:50):
The same genes to the facility three days in a row.
That's what I want my linebacker to do. So I'm
all in on Roberts plain and I love him with
this new Patriots mentality and everything that's gonna happen in
the next.
Speaker 9 (31:01):
Couple of years, this is gonna be good. Nice he has.
Speaker 1 (31:03):
He doesn't have of like elite genetics, but he has
incredible jeens at the same time.
Speaker 4 (31:08):
And I like that about Roberts.
Speaker 1 (31:10):
If you want to see a crazy Roberts Bolene play,
go to YouTube and find him when he was on
Pittsburgh stuffing Derrick Henry at the goal line like one
on one. It's an amazing, amazing play to put him
on the map for me. But the question of personal hype, man, honestly,
I'm really really struggling with this, and I thought and
I thought and I thought, and I just couldn't come
up with an answer. I don't know who I would
possibly claim.
Speaker 4 (31:30):
I'm not even.
Speaker 1 (31:31):
Oh no, not Cam Scataboo. Oh no, you mean the
guy who lives and works five miles down the road
for me here in New York and is now playing
in Jersey. Guys, I want to make this very clear
to everyone listening to everyone on the show, to Cam himself.
He gets drafted in my backyard. If Cam Scattaboo had
been drafted by the Dolphins, I was moving.
Speaker 4 (31:51):
To Miami, all right. I will follow him anywhere.
Speaker 1 (31:54):
If he had to go overseas, I'm going overseas. If
he was a Seahawk, I'm going to my family and
saying we're moving to Seattle. I need to be around
where he is and speaking of needs as much much
as I love the Sun Devils as much as I
love this jersey.
Speaker 4 (32:07):
Okay, we're past this now. This is an old artifact
to the beautiful New York Giants.
Speaker 1 (32:13):
As you start season one hundred and one and we're
all very optimistic about everything you have going, I would
like a Giants jersey of Camscattaboo. I would like a
home blue Scataboo jersey. You could probably bike messenger it
from the facility to right where I'm sitting, or I'll
come get it myself.
Speaker 4 (32:28):
But I want to wear it. I want to represent it.
Speaker 1 (32:30):
I'm a day one ground floor Cam Scataboo Giants fan
and I would like to be able to show that
off with this jersey.
Speaker 3 (32:35):
Hell, have you ever personally invited anybody over to your
home that is currently playing in the NFL, and are
you going to do that with Camscataboo.
Speaker 4 (32:42):
I have never done that. Listen.
Speaker 1 (32:44):
I worked with Schreeger for nine years. He's never been
to my house. So once I go home, I don't
want to interact with anyone but Cam Scattaboo.
Speaker 4 (32:51):
If you want to come over and I'll.
Speaker 1 (32:53):
Get a sled and we'll push it around in the
backyard or something with some weights on it, whatever you
want to do.
Speaker 7 (32:57):
When to play Mario Kart with my son Cam, Let's
come hang hey, kab I need you to make me
a promise when Stataboo wins, when he wins.
Speaker 4 (33:05):
The separate this scepter this year, at some point in time. Yeah,
I need a picture of you.
Speaker 7 (33:10):
And him with the bay jacket on okay that he
had at the.
Speaker 4 (33:13):
Draft with the car.
Speaker 7 (33:15):
I need a side by side picture of both of
you guys wearing the Baying jacket for his picture.
Speaker 4 (33:19):
I love the jersey, and that will be the first
one ever. I've never done this in all the years
Ofnger runs. I'll get the jacket. It's Baan asked, with
the furry collar.
Speaker 1 (33:27):
But I will go to the Giants facility and hand
him the scepter in person. I've never done that ever.
I've never had the ability to do it. Frankly, not
a lot of Giants and Jets win scepters. But when
they do this year, I'm going to go down to
Jersey and I'll give it to him.
Speaker 9 (33:39):
All right.
Speaker 2 (33:40):
Oh man, it's perfect.
Speaker 3 (33:41):
Last year when a Giants player did win it, it
was hand delivered, but in Germany, and then we never
saw that player. Fun massive sexy news this morning. That
was so great to start our show with. And frankly,
it makes next season in the subsequent years of the
Dallas Cowboys even more interesting. The Steelers are moving their
wide receiver one George Pickens, to the Cowboys for a
(34:01):
couple of picks one next year and a late round
trade swap in twenty twenty seven. Our NFL Network insider
Ian Rappaport and Tom Pellisera are both reporting that Dallas
picking up wide receiver George Pickens in a trade has
now created a room to be reckoned with in Dallas
with Ceedee Lamb and Pickens getting the ball from Dak Prescott. Now,
(34:23):
Pickens is also eligible for a contract extension as he
is entering the final year of this seal. Still to
come on our show. Look at that man, Gary Vaynerchuck.
You know him from his hype videos on Instagram. People
stop him on the street and they look for advice
as a Jets fan. Maybe he's seeking some as well.
Plus he's got a special unboxing for us to do.
We'll be right back with Gary Vee.
Speaker 2 (34:44):
I'm gmcfeet.
Speaker 4 (34:55):
Good morning football. All right, we're classing this place up
right now. We have not just your average football guest.
Speaker 1 (35:01):
We got an non entrepreneur, motivational speaker, creator of V Friends,
which we're gonna talk about, a guy who I consider
a mogul and also just a really good dude.
Speaker 4 (35:11):
It's Gary Vaynerchek. What's up, Gary?
Speaker 11 (35:12):
Man?
Speaker 4 (35:14):
Quite well? Yeh, what's up everybody?
Speaker 1 (35:16):
I know you're doing well because the Knicks are winning,
the Jets are in off season mode. It's new, it's
fresh and exciting for anybody doesn't know Gary v big, big,
big Jets guy, give us your own personal Gary Vee
State of the Nation for the Jets.
Speaker 11 (35:29):
I feel, I feel this is how big of a
Jets fan I am. Literally, this is one of the
biggest launches of my career. I'm building the next Pokemon
and I'm more excited about a week from today because
the schedule comes out and I'm so ready to figure
out not.
Speaker 1 (35:41):
As big as the Jets schedule, and we're going to
talk all about this and I'm gonna unbox it.
Speaker 11 (35:45):
But which week do they play the Dolphins or is
it Rogers going to sign with the Steelers because they
played the Steelers this year and when's that match up
going to be?
Speaker 4 (35:53):
But let me break down the Jets for you.
Speaker 11 (35:54):
Since this is the premier football morning show, we took
the best bet at quarterback because it's the only lottery
ticket that was out there. So thrilled about that. We've
now taken a round tackle and back to back years.
Olu before the injury last year looked great. Obviously, the
media y'all are not going to be paying attention as
much because we're not supposed to do much and we
(36:16):
don't have the Aaron factor and we still have. You know,
people forget Jermaine Johnson was out for the year predominantly
last year, got hurt early. Great player McDonald flashed and
had a great year last year. You know, Michael Carter
and the secondary sauce, Garrett Breasee. Our offensive line is
the best it's been since the Mangle, the brick a Shaw.
You know era about the head coach. I mean, I
(36:38):
love Aaron Glenn. I'm a diehard Jets fan. I've watched
every snap of his scrip. Plus, as you know with
Vaynor Sports, we rep Aiden Hutchinson Jaylor.
Speaker 4 (36:44):
He's made him.
Speaker 11 (36:45):
We have a good read on the Lions, so I
have a very good read on who Aaron is as
a man, how he's respected as a coach.
Speaker 4 (36:51):
I'm excited about it, Okay, Jamie.
Speaker 1 (36:52):
I've talked to Gary about the Jets before. He doesn't
say this every time. This is authentic. He genuinely is excited.
Now where else you want to go with? This guy
can talk about anything.
Speaker 3 (36:59):
Well, So if you have like the Gary Vee experience,
you're like, who is this guy?
Speaker 2 (37:02):
What's he about? You obviously know this is this.
Speaker 3 (37:05):
Kid comes to the US from Belarus And how does
one become a Jets fan because I'm not sure what
the NFL marketing plan is for Belaruz at this point.
But I don't think at the time that you came
to the US was it assigned to the New York Jets.
So how did you come to fall in love with
the Green.
Speaker 11 (37:20):
Edison, New Jersey. I moved there. I'm barely speaking English
at this point. I'm six years old. For everybody's watching,
the eighties was a great era. The way you didn't
look at your phone or be in the house. You
went outside. I literally went outside in late August before
the school year started.
Speaker 6 (37:36):
Look at that the.
Speaker 11 (37:37):
Story, Yeah, gocket, I went outside. There were some boys
throwing a nerd football. They're like, you like football. I'm
like yeah, They're like, who do you like? I'm like, eh,
they said, you're a Jets fan like us. That is
literally how it happened. That was the eighty two season.
For all the nerds watching. The Jets went to the
AFC Championship game that year. AJ Dewey broke my heart.
(37:57):
It was the first time I cried at a football game,
and I'm like, this is good. I made that was
one game away from the Super Bowl.
Speaker 9 (38:02):
I like this.
Speaker 11 (38:03):
Meanwhile, it took a long time to get back into
ninety eight sixteen years later. So it's been a love affair,
but it's been painful.
Speaker 4 (38:10):
We got to get back to the Jets.
Speaker 1 (38:12):
But you mentioned you had me going on the eighties
and you play outside, you do that after you're done
playing outside. A lot of times in the eighties you'd
come back in and you'd go through your cards, and
you collect your cards and your binders. And Gary, I
am looking at the V Friends collaboration with tops like
tops that we grew up collecting.
Speaker 4 (38:27):
Can you please tell us all about this?
Speaker 1 (38:29):
And we're going to do an unboxing here on GMFB
because I want to get into the sucker.
Speaker 11 (38:32):
Look, I'm trying to build the next Pokemon, the next Marvel,
the next Disney garbage fail kids we're talking about, right.
I have big goals. I want to buy the New
York Jets. You're not going to do that if you
don't build iconic.
Speaker 4 (38:42):
Big things authethnically. You want to do that authentically. I
want to buy the New York Jets. It's incredible.
Speaker 11 (38:46):
Yeah, And so V Friends is a big part of
my world. I've got a lot of different businesses, but
this is a huge swing for me. If you do,
you know that Pokemon's worth one hundred billion dollars hundred billion,
So you're talking about intellectual property, especially in the AI
revolution that's coming. IP is one of the things that
is going to be the big winner. So for the
last four years I've been building this. There's a huge
moment for us with V Friends. Today's day tops Chrome
(39:08):
comes out, but for the people that are watching at home,
it's also a brand that is Pokemon on the facade,
but underneath it's Sesame Street. There's a lot of good
for parents in this when they open up packs. I
got an email last night where the kid pulled an
ambitious Angel and she asked her dad what's the ambition mean?
And he got to spend five minutes talking to a
seven year old daughter about ambition because of ambitious Angel,
(39:30):
and he sent me a thank you because I think.
Speaker 6 (39:33):
A lot of us can relate with this.
Speaker 11 (39:34):
Parenting is hard, and I think V Friends if it
can contribute a little bit to positivity but accountability too.
Speaker 4 (39:41):
There's no overcoddling in V Friends.
Speaker 11 (39:43):
Competitive clowns a monster accountable and some monster, tenacious termite.
Speaker 4 (39:48):
Some monster.
Speaker 11 (39:48):
These are big characters, entrepreneur elf so a whole universe
of two hundred and fifty plus characters now in collectible
trading card form. And for all the collectors out there,
if you go to eBay right now and type in
V Friends and go to completed sold auctions, you'll be stunned.
Speaker 4 (40:03):
What's going on? Stunned? And he doesn't throw that word around.
Speaker 1 (40:06):
Here's whats gonna happen right now, Gary, I'm gonna hope
that the ambitious angel for the Jets is Aaron Glenn.
As I unbox and open and see who I get,
I just want you is telling me how do you
feel about the playoff?
Speaker 4 (40:16):
Drout and when the health is gonna get? While I
on a box, got preach? All right, Look what are
we in?
Speaker 11 (40:20):
You're fourteen of the Stroud Like you know it hurts
like we're sad. We've watched the Browns make the playoffs
a bunch, We've watched the Lions become a dominant franchise.
We've got like a lot of teams and Lions.
Speaker 4 (40:32):
Everyone's doing it but us.
Speaker 11 (40:34):
It feels like every single North American team in all
four major sports has tasted the playoffs but US in
the last fourteen years. But honestly, we're Jet fans. Do
you understand how great it is to be a Jets fan?
Do you know that there's Chief fans and Patriot fans
out there who have never faced adversity?
Speaker 4 (40:53):
Yeah? Spoiled that's right, yes, like like.
Speaker 11 (40:56):
Just like literally trust fund literally literally entitled spoiled brats
who think they've accomplished something because they were randomly born
in Kansas City.
Speaker 1 (41:07):
And those people being born in Kansas City, they may
have had some football wins, but they've never had the
pleasure of getting charismatic chameleon.
Speaker 11 (41:13):
Mindfolm, what is a minicawa? I don't mean minicawa is
a very.
Speaker 4 (41:16):
Cool bird, A very cool bird that a lot of people.
Speaker 11 (41:21):
I mean, this is going to capture a lot of
people's attention, A very cool, a mythical bird from Japan.
What about the tremendous tiger.
Speaker 4 (41:26):
Tremendous tiger is here?
Speaker 1 (41:28):
Gangle fans, I have a ten year old, eleven year
old and an eight year old, like they would love these.
Speaker 4 (41:32):
I would love these. I feel like I'm unpacking the
garbage pail. Kid.
Speaker 1 (41:35):
But a little cleaner and a little more educational and
a little classier.
Speaker 9 (41:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 11 (41:38):
Look, I mean at the end of the day, like
this is a selfish and selfless adventure for me. Selfishly,
I think this could be the business that helps me
buy of the Jets selflessly. I'd like to leave, like
the Gary Vee brand on social to those fifty million followers,
I want to do the same thing for five to fifteen.
I want them to start knowing that nice guys finish first,
not last.
Speaker 4 (41:58):
Incredible.
Speaker 1 (41:59):
I always love talking to you, and this guy is
dead serious. He wants to buy the Jets, and when
he does, I'm.
Speaker 4 (42:05):
Gonna win a super Bowl. Just so everybody knows why
I want to buy the Jets. You want to win
a super Bowl.
Speaker 11 (42:08):
I just want to be in control of my destiny. Yes,
I want to win a super Bowl. Okay, I need
a super Bowl. I've got to have a super Bowl.
Speaker 4 (42:16):
You're that man, Jets man.
Speaker 1 (42:18):
Remember when it happens, Whimsical Wolf was part of it.
Speaker 4 (42:21):
Sort that's whimsical Wolf.
Speaker 1 (42:23):
I'm putting it in my wallet, but I want to
keep it in make condition.
Speaker 4 (42:26):
Garrey, You're the man. I'm so impressed. That's always great. Stuff.
Everybody get the kaisak.
Speaker 1 (42:29):
I love you, yes, you love Isaac, we love Jamie,
we love Isaiah, and we also love everybody who is
coming in this collaboration.
Speaker 4 (42:36):
It's incredible, even dynamic Dinosaur. This is so fun. I
want to open all the time.
Speaker 3 (42:40):
Yesterday, this just would have been a fun exercise to
find out which two wide receivers are built the same.
Now these guys are on the same team. See Lamb
and George Pickens. Pickens traded from Pittsburgh to Dallas this morning.
We have been talking about it on GMTB and we
will continue to do so next hour.
Speaker 2 (42:54):
Say hang out with us.
Good Morning Football is the production of the NFL in
partnership with iHeartRadio.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Spicy Little Wednesday on GMFB. It's May seventh.
Speaker 3 (00:13):
Everybody, I'm Jamie Arta, Isaiah Standback and Isaac Rochel sit
here with me in Los Angeles, but Kyle Brandt in
New York City. It's our favorite kind of breaking news
type of Wednesday.
Speaker 4 (00:23):
We love it.
Speaker 1 (00:24):
Cowboys logo, Steelers logo, wide receivers, big personalities, things that matter,
and breaking news were all over it.
Speaker 4 (00:31):
And what is one word.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
That we would use to describe the mood of Jerry
Jones today.
Speaker 4 (00:36):
We'll get into it shortly. It's good Morning Football. We
got news today. Let's roll Good Morning Football.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
That's right, this is GMFB. Everybody welcome inside. It's Wednesday
in early May.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
The Draft. It happened last month. Isaac, Isaiah, Kyle, guys
going to different teams.
Speaker 3 (01:05):
We thought teams fulfilled their needs, but now we're making trades.
On May seventh, the Steelers have traded one of their star,
their star wide receiver, George Pickens, to the Dallas Cowboys.
This news broke early this morning, and we are joined
now by our NFL networked insider, Ian rapoport to discuss
the basics of this trade, how this came to be,
the parties involved, and what the Cowboys look forward to
(01:28):
now with Pickens in Dallas their.
Speaker 5 (01:30):
First The big news for the Dallas Cowboys they have
now finally gone all in.
Speaker 6 (01:35):
They are finalizing a deal.
Speaker 5 (01:37):
The Cowboys are for George Pickens, the former now Steelers
star receiver.
Speaker 6 (01:42):
Obviously, the Steelers acquired.
Speaker 5 (01:43):
DK Metcalf early in the offseason. You wondered immediately what
would that mean for George Pickens. Is their essentially room
in the receiver room for both of them? All parties
said the right thing. Meanwhile, the Dallas Cowboys very quietly,
very quietly worked on this big time deal, try to
get it done before the draft was not able to
come to completion. Then over the last couple days restarted
(02:05):
the process of trying to acquire George Pickens. In the end,
that is exactly what is going to happen in a
deal that should be finalized today. In all, it is
a third round pick going to the Pittsburgh Steelers in
exchange for George Pickens.
Speaker 6 (02:19):
Also expected to be a late round pickswap.
Speaker 5 (02:22):
In that deal, but basically around third round value for
George Pickens, which we look at the landscape of receiver
deals over the course of this offseason, that's about what
it is, a little more, a little less. The Dallas
Cowboys now acquire a huge talent, someone to help Dak Prescott,
someone to help CD Lamb City Lamp tweeting about it
last night on social media, was extremely excited, it seemed about.
Speaker 6 (02:44):
The deal is also a risk for the Cowboys.
Speaker 5 (02:47):
Pickens has certainly had his moments with the Pittsburgh Steelers,
but the talent you cannot question. And he is now
headed to Dallas and we're going.
Speaker 4 (02:55):
To talk about the Cowboys shortly.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
I just want to add lip something about Pittsburgh. There
was the thought that some of the allure for a
tent potential Aaron Rodgers' meeting with the Steelers becoming that
team's quarterback would be those two great receivers that he
would get to play with. Now Pickens completely gone. Is
there any state of the nation, Are there any murmurs?
Is there anything going on with Rodgers? And how does
this play into it?
Speaker 5 (03:17):
Well, first of all, as far as Aaron Rodgers goes,
he has been working with a potential future Steelers receiver,
but it's not George Pickens. Rogers has been working with
DK Metcalf, So if you wondered what Rogers himself thought
might happen, it.
Speaker 6 (03:30):
Seems he has been preparing for your future with DK.
Not as much George Pickens. Not sure why.
Speaker 5 (03:36):
Maybe Pickens was really busy, maybe couldn't make it happen.
Speaker 6 (03:39):
There's plenty of reasons why.
Speaker 5 (03:40):
But Rodgers has been preparing for metcalp and it does
seem like that rapport is being built. It always seemed
possible that even if the Steelers ended up signing Aaron Rodgers,
always seemed possible George Pickens would be on the way
out again. There were some moments last year where you
sort of wondered, like, all right, where is this headed.
Speaker 6 (03:57):
I know there was some rumblings before the.
Speaker 5 (03:59):
Draft, Dallas never stopped working, and usually when one side
is open to a deal and one side really wanted
to player, eventually they make that happen. So the Cowboys
now acquired George Pickens, and I would be surprised if
the Steelers are done at the receiver position, likely to
at least sign one more, and there a couple talented
receivers still on the market that wouldn't consider this to
(04:19):
be a big surprise for Aaron Rodgers and for anyone
following the Steelers.
Speaker 3 (04:23):
Yeah, it's a good point I to make that George
Pickens could have made himself available, he decided not to.
It's been Aaron Rodgers and DK Metcalf just up the
street from here working out on the field at U See, LA.
But we're talking about George Pickens this morning and the
fact that he's wearing a star on his helmet. Come
the twenty twenty five season. Isaiah standback. You were drafted
by the Cowboys. You live in Dallas, You work for
the Cowboys on their TV production.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
You have been giddy since last I saw you ten minutes.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
So what is going on with the Dallas Cowboys and
this move that they make to bring Pickens there?
Speaker 4 (04:52):
I just give my mister Burns fingers out, mister Barns.
Speaker 7 (04:56):
Dallas Cowboys have been working on something over the last
few months. We obviously know they didn't pull any triggers
on receivers in this year's and they don't have what
we consider to be in the NFL a true number
two receiver.
Speaker 4 (05:09):
They have Jalen Tober that they picked them in the
drafts some years ago.
Speaker 7 (05:12):
He had more touchdowns than Ceedee Lamb last year, but
he hasn't been the guy that you can necessarily rest
your hat on as a true number two.
Speaker 4 (05:18):
He's more of a three. So the Dallas Cowboys had
a hole to field, and how did they fill that hole?
Speaker 7 (05:23):
Well, we just found out today going out and grabbing
one of the league's best deep ball threats, one of
the best contested catch receivers in the league. This dude
is tenacious. He has a little greediness to him, right,
his little fight and he goes out there and gets
the ball at the high point. We saw what difference
he made with the Pittsburgh Steelers, especially when Russell Wilson
(05:44):
took over command immediately, if they were able to throw
the ball down the field. Now, when you take his
abilities and you pair him up with the Ceedee Lamb,
who is arguably the best receiver in the league. You
can talk about Justin Jefferson and a handful of other
guys Jamar Chase, but Ceede Lamb is in that conversation
with the top of the receivers in the league. Now,
all of a sudden, you have a true one and
a two to ten. They didn't go out and get
(06:05):
a number two receiver. They got a true number one
receiver to play number two as a receiver for the
Dallas Cowboys. And now you're seeing on your screen this
is what Dak Prescott.
Speaker 4 (06:13):
Has to work with.
Speaker 7 (06:13):
He has a CD Lamb on the one side, he
has a George Pickens on the other side, and he
has a Jake Ferguson.
Speaker 4 (06:19):
Now people are gonna look at Jake Ferguson to say, well,
who is that.
Speaker 7 (06:21):
Well, Jake Ferguson was one of the best tight ends
of the league, win healthy two seasons ago. He had
an injury injury, playing good season last year, but he
is going to be back.
Speaker 4 (06:29):
He is going to be healthy. So you have some
goons on the outside.
Speaker 7 (06:32):
You have a goon to work the middle of the field,
and you have a dog the Great Wall of China
sitting there at the offensive line position. Because you have
three for her first round picks on the old line,
Dak is gonna be protected.
Speaker 4 (06:42):
They are going to run the ball.
Speaker 7 (06:43):
You're not gonna be able to load the box for
seven and eight guys because you have to worry about
these two guys on the outside.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
Listen, I'm supposed to push back and be a Cowboys.
Speaker 4 (06:51):
Curmudgeon and I'm not.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
I will ask, how about them Cowboys?
Speaker 4 (06:54):
I'm impressed? Dare I say, I'm surprised.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
I've been screaming and begging for them to just wake
up and make a bold move. You know that that
meme where like a stick figure and he's got a
little stick and he's just poking. Somebody's like, come on,
do something. That's been us poking. The Cowboys logo as
Howie Roseman rules the world and the Commanders have next
and the Giants are reloading Cowboys, underwhelming head coach, higher,
(07:19):
free agency draft, and now this is the Lightning Bolts,
and I have no pushback. They needed talent and wide receiver.
They got talent and wide receiver. And I think this
is incredible because if you look at CD and Pickens,
it's like they who did they get CD to be
his number two? They got CD? They got himself. Look
at the measurables. I know there's a lot more complicated
nuance in these players. Wow, six two six, three, two
(07:42):
hundred two hundred four five four four seven, Literally the
exact same vertical jump and pretty much exactly the same
arm length. Physically, it is carbon copies. It's Pam saying
they're the same picture. These guys are on either side
of Dak maybe the same side. They're out there physically imposing,
making a threat to the Eagles, to the Commanders.
Speaker 4 (08:04):
They have a number two receiver.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
And more importantly, they have a pulse. They're doing something
I've been screaming at the Jones family.
Speaker 4 (08:12):
Guys. Engage here, get in the fight.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
Don't just run the same nonsense back they didn't. I've
called them the most boring team in the NFC East.
They just acquired maybe the least boring player in the league.
Speaker 4 (08:25):
For all of his faults, and we'll get into them.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
Because I don't think this is necessarily a doomsday horrible
thing for the Steelers, but it is a sign of
life for the Cowboys.
Speaker 4 (08:34):
Was going.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
And now the needles are jumping. I'm impressed. I'm a
little excited. And they are far more interesting and far
more dynamic. George Pickens is not always a parade and
a picnic guys, and there will be a lot of
attention on him, but he's incredibly talented.
Speaker 4 (08:52):
They need it, they.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
Got it, and the fact that they did something makes
me get high five to the Jones family.
Speaker 4 (08:57):
Thank you.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
And the last number to add to that side by
side is the fact that CD is just twenty six
and George Pickens is twenty four. So I mean, Buffa
with those two, I mean, that is incredible comparison for that.
Speaker 8 (09:08):
I mean, I know it's actually kind of mind blowing. Yeah,
they're that similar.
Speaker 9 (09:11):
But at the end of the day, this is good
for football.
Speaker 8 (09:14):
I mean, I feel like the entire NFL loves when
the Cowboys are rolling on all cylinders and the fact
that they made this decision, everybody loves it. And Kyle,
you just hit the nail on the head the issue
with the Cowboys every years, what.
Speaker 9 (09:24):
Are they going to do?
Speaker 8 (09:25):
What are we doing, like make this decision to really
take them to the next level, And this is it. Also,
I love it for this two number one picture, Like
you're seeing teams all over the league start to make
these moves that have two number one receivers, which I
think might become the new norm. And Isaiah you said it.
You described Pickens as like a number two. I see
this as a one in one fuation and they're going
(09:47):
to have to figure out how to make that work.
The flip side of that is when you have two
number ones with number one personalities and you have two
receivers that naturally had big personalities anyways, could become a
little complicated.
Speaker 9 (09:59):
So I'm curious to see how that works out.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
I think that's exactly what I was going to go
back to Kyle with Isaiah.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
To your point is that you may have two number.
Speaker 3 (10:06):
Ones from a talent perspective, but Kyle, is George Pickens
prepared to constantly be there is no other way a
number two wide receiver.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
To Cede Lamb, this is his future.
Speaker 3 (10:17):
This is what he has now maybe not signed up
for because this trade was done between two organizations.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
But Kyle, we talk.
Speaker 3 (10:23):
About Pickens all the time, before the whistle, after the whistle,
the conversations.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
On the sideline, the meme.
Speaker 3 (10:28):
If you're going to bring up a meme, bring up
the George Pickens meme of him being drafted and staring
at the TV. There's a lot there is. Is George
Pickens prepared to be a true number two?
Speaker 1 (10:38):
Well, listen, I think he would have been if he
stayed in Pittsburgh behind DK, and he would have had
a lesser quarterback going to him. George Pixon is about
to have an excellent quarterback Like that, to me is
the end of the conversation.
Speaker 4 (10:48):
Dak Prescott will get him the ball. He'll be open
a lot because of CD.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
I don't think with Pickens it's an issue of I'm
the number one. I think it's often an issue of I.
Speaker 4 (10:58):
Want the ball.
Speaker 1 (10:59):
He's going to get the ball like this is a
very very comfortable situation. Can go way back in the
history of Dallas Cowboys quote unquote number two receivers to
Alvin Harper and Michael Irvin, all of those guys. George
Pickens is it feels like a cowboy. It feels like
a fit. Of course, he's mercurial. And listen. I put
up that side by side of the two of them
(11:20):
and CD, and I said, look, they're the same player.
And a very common response on Twitter is yeah, physically,
except one of those two.
Speaker 4 (11:26):
Players is insane. All right, I get it.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
Pickens is a little different. I'm not calling him insane,
but there is this. I mean, we can't just say, ah,
he'll just slide in there and he'll get his eighty
five catches and he'll hide five CD every time he
gets the ball, I think that George Pickens is in
the best quarterback situation of his career, maybe the best
offensive situation of his career. In a true passing game,
the cowboy is not going to do that great running
(11:49):
the ball.
Speaker 4 (11:50):
They're chucking this thing.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
So all this stuff, I think it's like if you
were looking to give him a cookie.
Speaker 4 (11:56):
I think he got a cookie.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
And by the way, I think this is all of
the reasons the Pittsburgh Steelers did not want to give
him the biggest cookie of all, which is a contract extension.
Speaker 7 (12:03):
Every twa needs a Draymond Green. Okay, every team needs
a run our test. I don't care who you are.
We see it all the time. I was in a
lot of wide receiver rooms. In every single wide receiver
room we had, we had somebody who was the enforcer.
The Dallas Cowboys want to run the ball. You have
to have a physical, greedy, aggressive receiver to go out
(12:25):
there and put hands on people. And understand this with
the philosophy of running the ball. We all know Schottenheimer's
the family tree history in terms of their ability to
run the zonne. If you try to line up one
person just a cornerback over either one of these guys,
you are going to run into a problem. Both of
these receivers. Like we talked about one A, one B.
(12:47):
I don't care how you want to number it, they
require a safety over the top.
Speaker 4 (12:51):
If you don't put a safety.
Speaker 7 (12:53):
Over the top of either one of these guys, you
are gonna pay for it. So if you have a
safety over the top of Pickins, you have a safety
over the top of CD Lamb. That means that you
have a six or seven man box. You can run
the ball. And if you're Dallas Cowboys, you're running back
by committee. If you have any kind of efficient running
game and you want to bring one guy into the box,
now all of a sudden, one of those guys is
(13:14):
I sold.
Speaker 4 (13:15):
That is a complete problem for anybody. I don't care
what division you play for.
Speaker 9 (13:19):
Isaiah.
Speaker 8 (13:19):
I like hearing you talk about the Cowboys, like you
really get into this.
Speaker 9 (13:22):
It's like you're a true ambassador. Kyle.
Speaker 8 (13:24):
I'm kind of curious on this because you just talked
about this. You talked about that maybe like the personality
that's coming out with this with Pickens, and you talked about.
Speaker 9 (13:32):
The Draymond Green.
Speaker 8 (13:33):
How long do you think the Cowboys actually have where
they need to win, Like, how small is this window
of time where they need to win early?
Speaker 9 (13:41):
Get these guys excited, get.
Speaker 8 (13:43):
The energy positive, because that's my only concern with this,
Like these players are phenomenal, we know that, but it's
just like, dang, okay, what's that schedule release look like?
Because in the first four or five six games, if
they're not firing on all cylinders, I think you might
have a complicated situation.
Speaker 4 (13:58):
Yeah, Mike, Mike, Jimmy knows this.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
My question always with the Cowboys every single year is
how is this year different. It's the same team, it's
the same product, it's the same quarterback, it's the same coach.
Well it's not the same coach, And like, this is
a very dynamic change to the offense, and maybe it'll
blow up in their face, maybe it'll go terribly, but
I'm choosing to think positive right now. That for the question,
why is this team different? This teem's a lot different
(14:22):
with that player. That player, for all his faults and talents,
is going to change things I think for the positive.
But in terms of starting the season and wins, like
they have to be Philadelphia, they have to compete with Philadelphia.
They can't just sit back and be like, I guess
this is the Eagles dynasty era because Roseman is a
better GM than us and they have better players. That's nonsense.
(14:42):
The Cowboys aren't supposed to do filler seasons. They're not
supposed to be happy with this and that they're supposed
to win. So this is a move that says like, no,
we're fighting back. I'm almost inspired by them.
Speaker 4 (14:52):
Because I was.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
I had let them go, and I just thought it
was like, all right, Commanders Eagles, and we'll see it
from the Giants. The Cowboys made a chess move here,
and I just I'm impressed.
Speaker 4 (15:01):
I'm almost proud of the Cowboys. I'm fired up.
Speaker 3 (15:03):
This just made our day week, our next season so
much more interesting. Let me just dangle something out there
for GMFB, because you know how we operate when things
like this happen, we like to peel back the curtain
even a little bit farther. When DK Metcalff was traded
to the Pittsburgh Steelers and it was supposed to be
Metcalf and Pickens in the wide receiver room, we really
honed in Kyle, as you know, on the Steelers wide
receiver coach in Zakazani. And then we did a deep
(15:25):
dive on Zacha Zanni And.
Speaker 2 (15:26):
How is this guy?
Speaker 6 (15:27):
Kyle?
Speaker 3 (15:27):
Can I just can I just tease something up for
you real quick. The Dallas Cowboys wide receiver coach, in
his first job in the NFL is a guy by
the name of Junior Adams. He's had a lot of
stops in college and an fbs FCS first NFL job.
One of his stops, though, Kyle was at Eastern Washington
at the time where Cooper Cup was ascending into the
(15:49):
draft pick that he became this guy in college years ago,
coach Cooper Cup and now this this is a wide
receiver room. I think we got to go a deep
dive on Junior Adams at some.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
Point this week.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
I think we should because Cooper Cup and George Pickens
are practically the same player, totally really tell them apart,
same guy, same personality, same talent. Listen, you mentioned those
Steelers wide receiver coach. Maybe his job just got a
lot easier. The Steelers factor in this is very, very,
very big.
Speaker 4 (16:12):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
They just let one of their most talented receivers go
on an offense that does not have a lot of
talent and doesn't have a quarterback.
Speaker 4 (16:20):
So I mean, my question is if Rogers is going
to join the Steelers.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
In that meeting he had with him, was there an
understanding that George Pickens is not going to be here?
Keep that in the room, or is a huge part
of the allure of having a forty one year old
say let's do one more season saying to him we
got our fault, but we got two electric wide receivers,
and now is Rogers like, I don't want to join
that group. Listen, last year they didn't have much going,
(16:44):
they don't have a quarterback. Now the wide receiver group
is far less talented, the running back group has far
less muscle the Steelers. I know there's a lot of
very disappointed Steelers fans. My bottom line on this, and
I'll get to this. I know we're late in the segment.
I don't think the Steelers wanted to be in business
with George Pickens moving forward.
Speaker 4 (17:00):
He's in the final year of his contract.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
They would have to give him a huge extension for
tons of money. There's a headache factor, There's an off
the field factor that Mike Tomlin has been through with
that position many times before we know the names. I
don't think they wanted a future with George Pickens. My
question is do they still have a future with Aaron Rodgers?
And if Rogers shows up with this Steelers offense, is
he doing anything next year?
Speaker 4 (17:23):
That's fascinating to me?
Speaker 3 (17:24):
Not for nothing, when agent David Mulagetta does call about
Michael Parsons, he will also be talking about George Pickens
because I believe them to have the same representation. So
those conversations hopefully will have a fruitful nature for both
of those now Cowboys players. We had questions for Whiteboard Wednesday.
We have thrown them out the window and we are talking. Sorry, Harbo,
(17:45):
We're gonna move you in to next Whiteboard Wednesday next
week because we got to go Cowboys heavy on Whiteboard Wednesday.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
And Steelers a little bit too. We know how that man.
Speaker 3 (17:52):
Feels about Justin Herbert, but how does Jerry Jones feel
this morning? It's one of many questions we are asking
during Whiteboard Wednesday.
Speaker 9 (17:58):
Kyle.
Speaker 4 (18:00):
Plus, we got all kinds of guests.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
You know, the great Gary Vee's everywhere. He's a Jets fan,
he's great with cards, he's like.
Speaker 4 (18:08):
Gambit in the X Men.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
It's incredible he's coming in here. Look at that enthusiasm.
I bet he even has takes on Pickens and Ceedee
Lamb and Rogers has takes on everything. Don't worry about it,
we got it covered in Steelers and Cowboys as JIMFB.
Speaker 10 (18:21):
Stay with us, Good Morning Football.
Speaker 3 (18:36):
We're just having a blast of the breaking news this
morning on a Wednesday, and the fact that George Pickens
is going to be wearing that star in his helmet
next season.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
He's going from the Steelers to.
Speaker 3 (18:45):
The Cowboys as a wide receiver two or many say
wide receiver one and one paired up with Ceedee Lamb.
Speaker 2 (18:51):
There will be a third.
Speaker 3 (18:52):
Day twenty twenty seven draft pick swap for this guy
and the Steelers get a third rounder next year. George
Pickens is entering the final year of his contract. You
would assume the Cowboys are going to have to engage
in those conversations sooner than later.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
But this is what it looks like now.
Speaker 3 (19:06):
The Steelers have DK Metcalf in their room. George Pickens
is on the move to Dallas whiteboard Wednesday. Everybody gid up.
While we know that George Pickens is now on the move.
We have been begging, pleading for Jerry Jones the Dallas
Cowboys to give us something. Earlier this week, we asked
everybody at the table, but Kyle Brant already did this
exercise when he said I feel nothing about the Cowboys.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
Now. That was on Monday, Kyle, I bet.
Speaker 3 (19:32):
You have another one word, but I'm not going to
ask you about that. I want to ask about Jerry Jones.
What is one word that you would describe Jerry Jones's
mood today? Isaiah, you go first write the word on
your whiteboard and share it with class.
Speaker 7 (19:44):
All right, I'm actually gonna throw to a video while
I said, but Jerry Jones today, you guys have seen
him is giddy. He is giddy, and if we have
the clip of him from the draft, this is exactly
what he is doing today.
Speaker 4 (19:57):
All right, we don't have the video, we just have
a picture.
Speaker 7 (19:59):
But if you guys remember the draft room after they
got their draft selection, Jerry Jones is doing his little
That's what I wanted to show. That's exactly how he's
feeling right now. Because Jerry Jones likes pulling the trigger.
I truly believe that a lot of times. His son
kind of reels him back in Stephen Jones. They obviously
they co run this team. Obviously Jerry Jones want everybody
know that he runs a team. But I think they
(20:19):
do make a lot of business decisions together. And I
think this is one of the moves that he really
has been wanting to pool. He was able to go
out there and get a premiere player, one receiver to
play the number two position, and these guys are now
extremely dangerous.
Speaker 4 (20:32):
The receiver.
Speaker 9 (20:34):
That's good.
Speaker 8 (20:35):
I actually was gonna say giddy, but you know what,
I have a better one.
Speaker 4 (20:37):
And it's top dog.
Speaker 2 (20:38):
That's two words, Isaac.
Speaker 9 (20:40):
You know what, I want to notre dame. But it
wasn't a language.
Speaker 8 (20:45):
Major major, Kyle, don't worry about what my man.
Speaker 9 (20:50):
I didn't play school.
Speaker 11 (20:51):
He was.
Speaker 4 (20:53):
This guy feels like the top dog.
Speaker 8 (20:55):
He said a listen to Kyle talk about how you
know what are the Cowboys gonna do?
Speaker 9 (21:00):
Can we make a move?
Speaker 4 (21:01):
Do they have a pulse?
Speaker 8 (21:02):
Finally, Jerry Jones gets to sit in the booth like
he looks now and just be like, yeah, I do this.
Don't let him win a few games early Jerry Jones
might be talking in the media. Would I be surprised, No,
but no doubt. The two for one word.
Speaker 9 (21:14):
Is top dog.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
I didn't play school.
Speaker 9 (21:17):
That's an Alzheimer's a good line, thank you.
Speaker 4 (21:20):
That's how about Cardinal Jones line?
Speaker 1 (21:22):
Right, yeah, Cardinal Jones back in the day of the
Ohowa State quarterback. We didn't come here to play school
legendary line. I was an English major, so I'm very
accustomed to, like, very sophisticated literature like Willy Wonka and
the Chocolate Factory. And you know, Jerry Jones has kind
of Willy Wonka quality. He's got this giant factory. He's
always in this sales mode. It's kind of this magical aura.
And there's a word that Wanka would drop. And I
(21:43):
think that Jerry saves the special words for special days
like today. I think Jerry is feeling scrum diddly umptious,
and I think he'd absolutely nails every scrum diddly umptious.
Not scrum diddy umptious, that's illegal scrum diddly umptious. And
it pertains to a beautiful marshmallow filled.
Speaker 4 (22:02):
Chocolate bar or whatever it was. This is what Jerry
lives for. He doesn't have a lot of these days left.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
You know, like he's got this big, talented wide receiver
who's going to look great with the star at his
helmet and make plays and probably make some headlines for
the not the most ideal reasons, but you know what,
that'll sell jerseys and push glamour. And it's like, this
feels like this could have been a move in like
nineteen ninety one and Pickens could jump in there with
number eighty eight. The other number eighty eight, not CD.
(22:30):
I'm talking about the playmaker. Scrum diddly umpshious, that's my word.
Speaker 2 (22:34):
That's perfect, Kyle.
Speaker 3 (22:35):
Since I teed the segment up this way, I'll put
you on the spot.
Speaker 2 (22:38):
Do you have one word to how you're feeling currently
about the Dallas Cowboys.
Speaker 4 (22:42):
Yeah. Proud, not proud.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
That's an incredibly patronizing word for me to talk to
one of these great organizations to say I'm proud of them,
like they're a little kid.
Speaker 4 (22:50):
But in the NFC East lately they have been a
little kid. So I'm proud of you guys.
Speaker 3 (22:54):
Now get to school, all right, Second topic, that was perfect.
We will continue to discuss how this impacts the Dallas
Cowboys and the Steelers.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
But let's look elsewhere.
Speaker 3 (23:02):
Former Ravens Great Trail sugs through some praise to an
ex division rival Steelers quarterback and Ben Roethlisberger.
Speaker 12 (23:10):
Take listen, Roethlisberger is underrated and like like he got
more rings than Rogers. He got more rings than Breeze,
you know what I'm saying. He got like more rings
than Ben Marino, Like like, when you think about it,
he's got Yeah, he got it as many as Peyton
and Eli you know what I'm saying. So I would
(23:34):
say Roethlisberger, he's probably the most underrated.
Speaker 3 (23:38):
I'm actually amazed that he could come out and have
such fond opinions about this division rival quarterback that he
got after in his time. But that's a take Ben
Roethlisberger underrated quarterback, Isaiah, Do you have a different opinion
on who the most underrated quarterback of all time is?
Speaker 7 (23:53):
I do, and T Sugg's respects to you of a player,
I'm gonna go with somebody that you actually mentioned, and
it's actually my former teammate who was my quarterback when
we won the Super Bowl, and that is Eli Manny
Eli Man is the most underrated, undervalue two time undefeated
Super Bowl champion quarterback that there has been. This dude
hasn't lost in the Super Bowl. He beat Tom Brady twice, right,
(24:15):
not just once, but twice in the biggest game that
we have in our sport, and he never gets the credit.
Speaker 4 (24:20):
Roethlisberger.
Speaker 7 (24:21):
You think about Pittsburgh, you think about Roethlisberger, you think
about you think about the Patriots, you think about obviously,
Tom Brady, you think about all these teams, you think
about the quarterback.
Speaker 6 (24:29):
When it comes to the Giants in the Super Bowl runs.
Speaker 7 (24:31):
They always talk about the defense, right, The defense won
the games, they won these they dated for him. No
Eli Manning. He needs some respect on it. And when
it comes around to the Hall of Fame, don't play
with him.
Speaker 9 (24:39):
I love it, but I'll say this.
Speaker 8 (24:41):
Yesterday we talked about, was Kyle Allen the best quarterback
in the NFL?
Speaker 9 (24:44):
Right now? Our excuse me?
Speaker 2 (24:46):
Yes, we love.
Speaker 8 (24:50):
Matter of fact rights, Josh Allen the best quarterback in
the NFL. Kyle was like, you know what he is,
and we were making the ring argument. So rings obviously
don't matter on this show. So I'm going to Phil
Dad Gummet Rivers. Nice, great teammate, unbelievable player, played a
number of years, had almost as many kids as he
(25:10):
played years. And I just feel like Phil is a
guy that when you talk about, you know, great quarterbacks
that have played in this league, people don't really bring
up Phil like I want to hear his name. And
I can't say it enough. How great of a teammate
he was.
Speaker 2 (25:23):
Phil, Dad Gummant, Dad gummt could have been your one.
Speaker 4 (25:25):
Word from Jerry Jones was a monile.
Speaker 2 (25:28):
It's true, Yeah, what you got no doubt?
Speaker 1 (25:31):
And that's a great answer. And I've always loved Phil.
One of the most watchable players ever. I actually I
don't agree with T Suggs. I don't think it's Roethlisberger
because I just I have so much respect for Roethlisberger.
Speaker 4 (25:40):
He does not underrated.
Speaker 6 (25:41):
For me.
Speaker 1 (25:41):
I think he's amazing. I look at him as amazing.
I think a lot of people do too. But then
my answer, most underrated quarterback is Drew Bledsoe for so
many reasons. This is a guy who was a number
one overall pick, who goes to the Super Bowl, he
wins the AFC, he's killing.
Speaker 4 (25:56):
It in New England. He goes on later.
Speaker 1 (25:59):
He's he's cool, he's kind of a good attitude, his
name is cool. He shows up in Jerry Maguire, which
was really cool. He played really well later in his
career with the Cowboys and Buffalo. But the problem with
why he's underrated is like you can't have a legacy
conversation about Drew Bledsoe for one second without talking about
Tom bleeping Brady all the time that follows him around
(26:21):
aside from Tom Brady.
Speaker 4 (26:23):
I get it.
Speaker 1 (26:23):
I know what happened in Moe Lewis and blah blah blah.
This guy was great before Tom Brady, after Tom Brady.
It's a guy that when you were young, like getting
his jersey was really cool. His arm was incredible. The
fact that he came from the Northwest was awesome. The
fact now that he just sits around selling and ostensibly
drinking wine all day. It's just like, I want to
be Drew Bledsoe in my next life. I know kids
(26:45):
want to grow up to be Tom Brady. I want
to be Drew Bledsoe, my most underrated quarterback ever.
Speaker 2 (26:50):
That's an awesome answer.
Speaker 3 (26:51):
I'm sitting here and I actually just said one name,
and I want to eat up to the table and too, Kyle,
if he had played long enough, and maybe if he
had had a prolific career but didn't win the way
that you're kind of making the Philip Rivers parallel, would
you qualify maybe Andrew Luck as an underrated quarterback and
maybe the lost potential that we didn't get to see
from him.
Speaker 2 (27:09):
Would he be a part of that conversation, Kyle.
Speaker 1 (27:11):
I think Andrew Luck is in that club of guys
who just like man they left already. You know, he's
not the statue of Barry Sanders or Calvin Johnson, but
his legacy is incomplete. It's like there's no letter grade
on his career. It's an eye for incomplete and tough
as how super talented, one of the best prospects ever.
But I don't look at him as underrated. I just
(27:32):
I look at it as incomplete. That's kind of annoying.
Speaker 2 (27:34):
You can't assess, you can't assess or evaluate all. Right,
last one Chargers head coach. We are going to get
coachar Bond here.
Speaker 3 (27:41):
Jim Harbaugh revealed some pretty high aspirations for his QB
justin Herbert last week we talked about it.
Speaker 13 (27:46):
Take a listen I just woke up the other day,
got to get Justin Herbert to the Hall of Fame.
Must get Justin Herbert to the Hall of Fame. You
woke up and said that, Yeah, Yeah, it's just one
of those things that you wake up and kind of
like three thirty four in the morning, and sometimes that's
when your best ideas come. Yeah, you kind of processed
(28:07):
that and that that would mean winning a couple of
Super Bowls U and there'd be a lot of a
lot of people would benefit, you know from that. So
that's that's a worthy goal.
Speaker 3 (28:18):
Can I just sidebar before I asked this question about Harbaugh, Kyle,
you've interacted with coach Harbaugh. It feels like and rich
Eison just totally fulfilled this for me, this theory that
I have. It feels like Harbaugh says some stuff sometimes,
but he's so engaging and you so want to keep
drawing things out of him that you will pretty much
agree with anything he says, no matter how outlandish it is.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
So when he.
Speaker 3 (28:41):
Says sometimes the best ideas come at three am, you
know what I mean, Richison's not awake at three am,
I'm fairly say, and he's like, yeah, absolutely, it's like, Rich, do.
Speaker 2 (28:49):
You actually agree with that? I really don't think so
and so.
Speaker 3 (28:52):
But Kyle, you've inter interviewed him, did you feel yourself
being like, yes, Coach, I absolutely understand that.
Speaker 2 (28:57):
That is what I feel like. Goes on in conversations
with coach Harbaugh.
Speaker 1 (29:00):
Yeah, when he gives the answers to whatever your questions are,
you're just happy that you kind of even understanding you're
on the same planet as him. So if it is
anything that makes sense, you're like, yes, I'll take this.
This is a win because he can say some things
that you don't understand at all.
Speaker 4 (29:13):
So three am to me, that's fine.
Speaker 2 (29:14):
Three am. He wants to send Herbert to the Hall
of Fame.
Speaker 3 (29:17):
That is the definition of personal hype man.
Speaker 2 (29:19):
Here's the question. Coach Tarba has been enamored with Justin.
Speaker 3 (29:22):
Herbert since the second he got to shake his quarterback's hand.
Speaker 2 (29:25):
The player that you think needs a.
Speaker 3 (29:27):
Personal hype man for next season is the following Isaiah.
Speaker 4 (29:32):
I would love to be.
Speaker 7 (29:33):
A representative and the Paul Hayman for this gentleman right here.
He resides in Cincinnati. His name is Trey Hendrickson. And
the reason why I believe that Trey Henderson needs a
hype man is because he is not hyping himself up.
Speaker 4 (29:50):
I forgot my fault.
Speaker 7 (29:52):
He's not hyping himself up right now, and he needs
somebody to speak on his behalf. This dude has the
most He's the third highest sack leader out of anybody.
Speaker 4 (30:01):
In the league. Over the last five years eighty games,
Miles Garrett.
Speaker 7 (30:05):
Had seventy two sacks and Henderson had seventy and a
half sex. He's one and a half sex behind Miles Geartt.
And we know how much Miles Garrett has got paid,
and Trey Henderson can't find nobody to give him a
check right now, go ahead and pay the man.
Speaker 4 (30:19):
I will be your Paul Haman.
Speaker 9 (30:20):
Wow, that was good. I'm like, I'm convinced by that.
That was good.
Speaker 8 (30:25):
Here's my guy, and this guy, this guy matters to me.
That is Robert Splaine just fine with the Patriots.
Speaker 9 (30:30):
This guy is a dog. I'm gonna read you something.
Three hundred and six tack who's.
Speaker 8 (30:34):
Five and a half sacks, seventeen tackles for lost, and
five interceptions over the last two years.
Speaker 9 (30:38):
This guy is unbelievable.
Speaker 8 (30:39):
Also, this is like, again a stat that doesn't matter
for this But this guy's got two under one. He's
built different just as a dad. This guy comes in
with a different mentality, dad strength.
Speaker 9 (30:48):
I also once saw this guy wear.
Speaker 8 (30:50):
The same genes to the facility three days in a row.
That's what I want my linebacker to do. So I'm
all in on Roberts plain and I love him with
this new Patriots mentality and everything that's gonna happen in
the next.
Speaker 9 (31:01):
Couple of years, this is gonna be good. Nice he has.
Speaker 1 (31:03):
He doesn't have of like elite genetics, but he has
incredible jeens at the same time.
Speaker 4 (31:08):
And I like that about Roberts.
Speaker 1 (31:10):
If you want to see a crazy Roberts Bolene play,
go to YouTube and find him when he was on
Pittsburgh stuffing Derrick Henry at the goal line like one
on one. It's an amazing, amazing play to put him
on the map for me. But the question of personal hype, man, honestly,
I'm really really struggling with this, and I thought and
I thought and I thought, and I just couldn't come
up with an answer. I don't know who I would
possibly claim.
Speaker 4 (31:30):
I'm not even.
Speaker 1 (31:31):
Oh no, not Cam Scataboo. Oh no, you mean the
guy who lives and works five miles down the road
for me here in New York and is now playing
in Jersey. Guys, I want to make this very clear
to everyone listening to everyone on the show, to Cam himself.
He gets drafted in my backyard. If Cam Scattaboo had
been drafted by the Dolphins, I was moving.
Speaker 4 (31:51):
To Miami, all right. I will follow him anywhere.
Speaker 1 (31:54):
If he had to go overseas, I'm going overseas. If
he was a Seahawk, I'm going to my family and
saying we're moving to Seattle. I need to be around
where he is and speaking of needs as much much
as I love the Sun Devils as much as I
love this jersey.
Speaker 4 (32:07):
Okay, we're past this now. This is an old artifact
to the beautiful New York Giants.
Speaker 1 (32:13):
As you start season one hundred and one and we're
all very optimistic about everything you have going, I would
like a Giants jersey of Camscattaboo. I would like a
home blue Scataboo jersey. You could probably bike messenger it
from the facility to right where I'm sitting, or I'll
come get it myself.
Speaker 4 (32:28):
But I want to wear it. I want to represent it.
Speaker 1 (32:30):
I'm a day one ground floor Cam Scataboo Giants fan
and I would like to be able to show that
off with this jersey.
Speaker 3 (32:35):
Hell, have you ever personally invited anybody over to your
home that is currently playing in the NFL, and are
you going to do that with Camscataboo.
Speaker 4 (32:42):
I have never done that. Listen.
Speaker 1 (32:44):
I worked with Schreeger for nine years. He's never been
to my house. So once I go home, I don't
want to interact with anyone but Cam Scattaboo.
Speaker 4 (32:51):
If you want to come over and I'll.
Speaker 1 (32:53):
Get a sled and we'll push it around in the
backyard or something with some weights on it, whatever you
want to do.
Speaker 7 (32:57):
When to play Mario Kart with my son Cam, Let's
come hang hey, kab I need you to make me
a promise when Stataboo wins, when he wins.
Speaker 4 (33:05):
The separate this scepter this year, at some point in time. Yeah,
I need a picture of you.
Speaker 7 (33:10):
And him with the bay jacket on okay that he
had at the.
Speaker 4 (33:13):
Draft with the car.
Speaker 7 (33:15):
I need a side by side picture of both of
you guys wearing the Baying jacket for his picture.
Speaker 4 (33:19):
I love the jersey, and that will be the first
one ever. I've never done this in all the years
Ofnger runs. I'll get the jacket. It's Baan asked, with
the furry collar.
Speaker 1 (33:27):
But I will go to the Giants facility and hand
him the scepter in person. I've never done that ever.
I've never had the ability to do it. Frankly, not
a lot of Giants and Jets win scepters. But when
they do this year, I'm going to go down to
Jersey and I'll give it to him.
Speaker 9 (33:39):
All right.
Speaker 2 (33:40):
Oh man, it's perfect.
Speaker 3 (33:41):
Last year when a Giants player did win it, it
was hand delivered, but in Germany, and then we never
saw that player. Fun massive sexy news this morning. That
was so great to start our show with. And frankly,
it makes next season in the subsequent years of the
Dallas Cowboys even more interesting. The Steelers are moving their
wide receiver one George Pickens, to the Cowboys for a
(34:01):
couple of picks one next year and a late round
trade swap in twenty twenty seven. Our NFL Network insider
Ian Rappaport and Tom Pellisera are both reporting that Dallas
picking up wide receiver George Pickens in a trade has
now created a room to be reckoned with in Dallas
with Ceedee Lamb and Pickens getting the ball from Dak Prescott. Now,
(34:23):
Pickens is also eligible for a contract extension as he
is entering the final year of this seal. Still to
come on our show. Look at that man, Gary Vaynerchuck.
You know him from his hype videos on Instagram. People
stop him on the street and they look for advice
as a Jets fan. Maybe he's seeking some as well.
Plus he's got a special unboxing for us to do.
We'll be right back with Gary Vee.
Speaker 2 (34:44):
I'm gmcfeet.
Speaker 4 (34:55):
Good morning football. All right, we're classing this place up
right now. We have not just your average football guest.
Speaker 1 (35:01):
We got an non entrepreneur, motivational speaker, creator of V Friends,
which we're gonna talk about, a guy who I consider
a mogul and also just a really good dude.
Speaker 4 (35:11):
It's Gary Vaynerchek. What's up, Gary?
Speaker 11 (35:12):
Man?
Speaker 4 (35:14):
Quite well? Yeh, what's up everybody?
Speaker 1 (35:16):
I know you're doing well because the Knicks are winning,
the Jets are in off season mode. It's new, it's
fresh and exciting for anybody doesn't know Gary v big, big,
big Jets guy, give us your own personal Gary Vee
State of the Nation for the Jets.
Speaker 11 (35:29):
I feel, I feel this is how big of a
Jets fan I am. Literally, this is one of the
biggest launches of my career. I'm building the next Pokemon
and I'm more excited about a week from today because
the schedule comes out and I'm so ready to figure
out not.
Speaker 1 (35:41):
As big as the Jets schedule, and we're going to
talk all about this and I'm gonna unbox it.
Speaker 11 (35:45):
But which week do they play the Dolphins or is
it Rogers going to sign with the Steelers because they
played the Steelers this year and when's that match up
going to be?
Speaker 4 (35:53):
But let me break down the Jets for you.
Speaker 11 (35:54):
Since this is the premier football morning show, we took
the best bet at quarterback because it's the only lottery
ticket that was out there. So thrilled about that. We've
now taken a round tackle and back to back years.
Olu before the injury last year looked great. Obviously, the
media y'all are not going to be paying attention as
much because we're not supposed to do much and we
(36:16):
don't have the Aaron factor and we still have. You know,
people forget Jermaine Johnson was out for the year predominantly
last year, got hurt early. Great player McDonald flashed and
had a great year last year. You know, Michael Carter
and the secondary sauce, Garrett Breasee. Our offensive line is
the best it's been since the Mangle, the brick a Shaw.
You know era about the head coach. I mean, I
(36:38):
love Aaron Glenn. I'm a diehard Jets fan. I've watched
every snap of his scrip. Plus, as you know with
Vaynor Sports, we rep Aiden Hutchinson Jaylor.
Speaker 4 (36:44):
He's made him.
Speaker 11 (36:45):
We have a good read on the Lions, so I
have a very good read on who Aaron is as
a man, how he's respected as a coach.
Speaker 4 (36:51):
I'm excited about it, Okay, Jamie.
Speaker 1 (36:52):
I've talked to Gary about the Jets before. He doesn't
say this every time. This is authentic. He genuinely is excited.
Now where else you want to go with? This guy
can talk about anything.
Speaker 3 (36:59):
Well, So if you have like the Gary Vee experience,
you're like, who is this guy?
Speaker 2 (37:02):
What's he about? You obviously know this is this.
Speaker 3 (37:05):
Kid comes to the US from Belarus And how does
one become a Jets fan because I'm not sure what
the NFL marketing plan is for Belaruz at this point.
But I don't think at the time that you came
to the US was it assigned to the New York Jets.
So how did you come to fall in love with
the Green.
Speaker 11 (37:20):
Edison, New Jersey. I moved there. I'm barely speaking English
at this point. I'm six years old. For everybody's watching,
the eighties was a great era. The way you didn't
look at your phone or be in the house. You
went outside. I literally went outside in late August before
the school year started.
Speaker 6 (37:36):
Look at that the.
Speaker 11 (37:37):
Story, Yeah, gocket, I went outside. There were some boys
throwing a nerd football. They're like, you like football. I'm
like yeah, They're like, who do you like? I'm like, eh,
they said, you're a Jets fan like us. That is
literally how it happened. That was the eighty two season.
For all the nerds watching. The Jets went to the
AFC Championship game that year. AJ Dewey broke my heart.
(37:57):
It was the first time I cried at a football game,
and I'm like, this is good. I made that was
one game away from the Super Bowl.
Speaker 9 (38:02):
I like this.
Speaker 11 (38:03):
Meanwhile, it took a long time to get back into
ninety eight sixteen years later. So it's been a love affair,
but it's been painful.
Speaker 4 (38:10):
We got to get back to the Jets.
Speaker 1 (38:12):
But you mentioned you had me going on the eighties
and you play outside, you do that after you're done
playing outside. A lot of times in the eighties you'd
come back in and you'd go through your cards, and
you collect your cards and your binders. And Gary, I
am looking at the V Friends collaboration with tops like
tops that we grew up collecting.
Speaker 4 (38:27):
Can you please tell us all about this?
Speaker 1 (38:29):
And we're going to do an unboxing here on GMFB
because I want to get into the sucker.
Speaker 11 (38:32):
Look, I'm trying to build the next Pokemon, the next Marvel,
the next Disney garbage fail kids we're talking about, right.
I have big goals. I want to buy the New
York Jets. You're not going to do that if you
don't build iconic.
Speaker 4 (38:42):
Big things authethnically. You want to do that authentically. I
want to buy the New York Jets. It's incredible.
Speaker 11 (38:46):
Yeah, And so V Friends is a big part of
my world. I've got a lot of different businesses, but
this is a huge swing for me. If you do,
you know that Pokemon's worth one hundred billion dollars hundred billion,
So you're talking about intellectual property, especially in the AI
revolution that's coming. IP is one of the things that
is going to be the big winner. So for the
last four years I've been building this. There's a huge
moment for us with V Friends. Today's day tops Chrome
(39:08):
comes out, but for the people that are watching at home,
it's also a brand that is Pokemon on the facade,
but underneath it's Sesame Street. There's a lot of good
for parents in this when they open up packs. I
got an email last night where the kid pulled an
ambitious Angel and she asked her dad what's the ambition mean?
And he got to spend five minutes talking to a
seven year old daughter about ambition because of ambitious Angel,
(39:30):
and he sent me a thank you because I think.
Speaker 6 (39:33):
A lot of us can relate with this.
Speaker 11 (39:34):
Parenting is hard, and I think V Friends if it
can contribute a little bit to positivity but accountability too.
Speaker 4 (39:41):
There's no overcoddling in V Friends.
Speaker 11 (39:43):
Competitive clowns a monster accountable and some monster, tenacious termite.
Speaker 4 (39:48):
Some monster.
Speaker 11 (39:48):
These are big characters, entrepreneur elf so a whole universe
of two hundred and fifty plus characters now in collectible
trading card form. And for all the collectors out there,
if you go to eBay right now and type in
V Friends and go to completed sold auctions, you'll be stunned.
Speaker 4 (40:03):
What's going on? Stunned? And he doesn't throw that word around.
Speaker 1 (40:06):
Here's whats gonna happen right now, Gary, I'm gonna hope
that the ambitious angel for the Jets is Aaron Glenn.
As I unbox and open and see who I get,
I just want you is telling me how do you
feel about the playoff?
Speaker 4 (40:16):
Drout and when the health is gonna get? While I
on a box, got preach? All right, Look what are
we in?
Speaker 11 (40:20):
You're fourteen of the Stroud Like you know it hurts
like we're sad. We've watched the Browns make the playoffs
a bunch, We've watched the Lions become a dominant franchise.
We've got like a lot of teams and Lions.
Speaker 4 (40:32):
Everyone's doing it but us.
Speaker 11 (40:34):
It feels like every single North American team in all
four major sports has tasted the playoffs but US in
the last fourteen years. But honestly, we're Jet fans. Do
you understand how great it is to be a Jets fan?
Do you know that there's Chief fans and Patriot fans
out there who have never faced adversity?
Speaker 4 (40:53):
Yeah? Spoiled that's right, yes, like like.
Speaker 11 (40:56):
Just like literally trust fund literally literally entitled spoiled brats
who think they've accomplished something because they were randomly born
in Kansas City.
Speaker 1 (41:07):
And those people being born in Kansas City, they may
have had some football wins, but they've never had the
pleasure of getting charismatic chameleon.
Speaker 11 (41:13):
Mindfolm, what is a minicawa? I don't mean minicawa is
a very.
Speaker 4 (41:16):
Cool bird, A very cool bird that a lot of people.
Speaker 11 (41:21):
I mean, this is going to capture a lot of
people's attention, A very cool, a mythical bird from Japan.
What about the tremendous tiger.
Speaker 4 (41:26):
Tremendous tiger is here?
Speaker 1 (41:28):
Gangle fans, I have a ten year old, eleven year
old and an eight year old, like they would love these.
Speaker 4 (41:32):
I would love these. I feel like I'm unpacking the
garbage pail. Kid.
Speaker 1 (41:35):
But a little cleaner and a little more educational and
a little classier.
Speaker 9 (41:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 11 (41:38):
Look, I mean at the end of the day, like
this is a selfish and selfless adventure for me. Selfishly,
I think this could be the business that helps me
buy of the Jets selflessly. I'd like to leave, like
the Gary Vee brand on social to those fifty million followers,
I want to do the same thing for five to fifteen.
I want them to start knowing that nice guys finish first,
not last.
Speaker 4 (41:58):
Incredible.
Speaker 1 (41:59):
I always love talking to you, and this guy is
dead serious. He wants to buy the Jets, and when
he does, I'm.
Speaker 4 (42:05):
Gonna win a super Bowl. Just so everybody knows why
I want to buy the Jets. You want to win
a super Bowl.
Speaker 11 (42:08):
I just want to be in control of my destiny. Yes,
I want to win a super Bowl. Okay, I need
a super Bowl. I've got to have a super Bowl.
Speaker 4 (42:16):
You're that man, Jets man.
Speaker 1 (42:18):
Remember when it happens, Whimsical Wolf was part of it.
Speaker 4 (42:21):
Sort that's whimsical Wolf.
Speaker 1 (42:23):
I'm putting it in my wallet, but I want to
keep it in make condition.
Speaker 4 (42:26):
Garrey, You're the man. I'm so impressed. That's always great. Stuff.
Everybody get the kaisak.
Speaker 1 (42:29):
I love you, yes, you love Isaac, we love Jamie,
we love Isaiah, and we also love everybody who is
coming in this collaboration.
Speaker 4 (42:36):
It's incredible, even dynamic Dinosaur. This is so fun. I
want to open all the time.
Speaker 3 (42:40):
Yesterday, this just would have been a fun exercise to
find out which two wide receivers are built the same.
Now these guys are on the same team. See Lamb
and George Pickens. Pickens traded from Pittsburgh to Dallas this morning.
We have been talking about it on GMTB and we
will continue to do so next hour.
Speaker 2 (42:54):
Say hang out with us.
