Kyle, Kyle, great to see you back in honestly where
it feels like you just look safe for you, healthier
you do you want to tell us what you were
doing yesterday?
Speaker 3 (01:49):
Would you rather just leave that for just the mind
to wonder?
Speaker 6 (01:52):
Yes? I feel like I was really clear on this.
Speaker 4 (01:55):
Yesterday I was in prison, so I got bailed out
by a bailed bondsman and I won't be up for long. Guys,
I have an eight lin on right now. I'm not
allowed to say what I did, but what do you do?
Yesterday's show, I was coming from some sort of penitentiary.
Now I'm in Asaua, and so it's just been that
kind of week and I just want to.
Speaker 6 (02:11):
Talk some football. Mike Gee, you ready to talk ball?
You got takes today?
Speaker 7 (02:14):
Yeah, well, I just what got you locked up in
the first place.
Speaker 4 (02:18):
I'm not allowed to say. I might have the word
indecent in it, but I don't want to put that way.
Speaker 6 (02:22):
It's just all about ball today.
Speaker 4 (02:23):
I want to compromise myself by attorney whos told me
to stay silent.
Speaker 6 (02:26):
So I'm going to try to do that. Ball ball ball.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
Let's go, Jamie, keep it class, keep it plenty, kaybe
he's in that suna. He went to sweat out ten
pounds of take today in the NFL. Kyle, let's do
let's look back, as this time of year often does
at training camp, when you actually had a chance to
sit down with and speak with Aaron Rodgers back in
August during Back Together Weekend, and in that discussion, Rogers
(02:50):
had an answer about what it felt like to come
back and play this twenty first season in the NFL.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
Take a listen.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
Jim Carrey had this quote when he was thinking about retiring,
and Jim Carrey said, I've done enough. I have I
am enough as a fan of yours, that was how
I felt about you last year, twenty years.
Speaker 7 (03:10):
Started to since Super retire, I did you. Yeah, it
wasn't enough for you.
Speaker 6 (03:13):
Though, why not.
Speaker 8 (03:15):
I fell in love with this game when I was
six years old, and I wanted to have that closure
and give back to the game one more time the
way that it's given to me, give back to.
Speaker 3 (03:29):
The game one more time.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
It was a great conversation then, and frankly, the answer
is still tracks now.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
Mansi. What we have seen of Aaron.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
Rodgers is what we thought we were going to get
with the New York Jets, not how it worked out. Clearly,
the Rogers Mike Tomlin thing is working, at least in December, Mansi,
we've seen sixteen seventeen weeks of this.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
What do you make of Rogers in twenty twenty five.
Speaker 9 (03:48):
Well, I think the whole journey up Aaron Rodgers as
a Pittsburgh Steelers has been beautiful since that time before
he became a Pittsburgh Steeler, not too long ago.
Speaker 10 (03:57):
I mean Cam Hayward, one of the.
Speaker 9 (03:58):
Leaders of that Pittsburgh Steelers A team had some very colorful,
maybe colorful world as I could say about the potential
of having somebody like Aaron Rodgers to take a Listen,
let's go back.
Speaker 11 (04:10):
I ain't doing that darkness darkness treat retreat. I don't
mean any of that crap. Like, either you want to
be a Pittsburgh Steeler you don't. That's that's simple. That's
the pitch. Like if you want me to recruit, that's
the recruiting pitch. You know, Pittsburgh Steelers. If you want
to be part of it, so be it. If you don't,
no no skin on my back.
Speaker 9 (04:31):
But this is this is what it looked like after
last week's game.
Speaker 10 (04:34):
It's working, good guy.
Speaker 9 (04:37):
And if you don't if people didn't see this clip,
this is Aaron Rodgers pointing to Mike Tomlin after he
got his two hundredth win.
Speaker 10 (04:44):
So you're looking at the journey.
Speaker 9 (04:47):
That is Aaron Rodgers as a Pittsburgh Steeler, and I
think it.
Speaker 10 (04:50):
Fits so well.
Speaker 9 (04:51):
Why because I think this is the first time in
Aaron Rodgers' career that he can.
Speaker 10 (04:54):
Just be a quarterback. I think if you look at his.
Speaker 9 (04:57):
Career in general, from the time he got to the NFL,
sometimes he had to be the play caller. Sometimes he
had to be the culture enforcer. Some times you got
to be the standard bearer over there in Pittsburgh. All
of that stuff is set in stone already. So for
Aaron Rodgers, are coming to this picture. He can just
be a gun slinger. He can just be the guy
that sits back there and he commands commands an offense.
Speaker 10 (05:18):
Mike Gee.
Speaker 9 (05:18):
So, I think from where it started in the offseason
and Cam Hayward having those comments to where it is now,
I think has worked out beautifully.
Speaker 11 (05:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (05:25):
I covered them in week one. I guess it was
Week one, the opener against the Jets. Yeah, and those
three guys were walking off together. In fact, Tomlin and
Hayward man Ti were waiting for Rogers so that the
three of them could all walk off together. And there
they are doing it again in Detroit. I go back
to that interview and the fact that he told Kyle
(05:46):
I love the game, is a game that he fell
in love with. I feel like we're getting all of
it from Aaron Rodgers this season. We're getting all of
the emotion. There's been some screaming and yelling. A matter
of fact, this past week, John Ue Smith comes in
motion and you can hear him hot on the mic saying,
what the bleep are you doing right? You're seeing some yelling,
some barking at teammates earlier in the season. You're also
(06:08):
seeing some incredible emotion. You're seeing them battle through the
wrist injury, and you're seeing in the postgame press conferences
he's asked about were you guys prepared, and he went
back at the reporter and says, I know what you're doing.
I know what you're doing. I feel like there's no
holding back from Rogers in a lot of ways. And
it's not just negative energy. It's not just anger or
all that stuff coming out. It's positive energy. It's love
(06:28):
for the game. It's appreciation of the players. Here he
is with Avonte Maddox, veteran cornerback, as caught by NFL Films.
Speaker 10 (06:35):
That's you, brother, let me see you man, four years
just for you now eight regrets.
Speaker 12 (06:41):
Appreciate Hey, I respect the game, brother, and.
Speaker 10 (06:49):
The journey too.
Speaker 13 (06:50):
Right class class cliss, Oh, you don't want me to
help you forget you're slowering a forty two year old?
Now what you're slowering a forty two You all.
Speaker 7 (07:13):
This is great? I mean, this is what you want.
I remember we got some advice on our wedding day.
Take it all in right, Like make sure you're not
just kind of going through the motions that you just
drink it all in and create those memories. I feel
like that's what Aaron Rodgers is doing. Now, how's it
going to end? We have no idea. We shall see.
While they were making the movie Casa Blanker, they were
making jokes in the script about how it's going to
(07:34):
end because.
Speaker 4 (07:35):
They didn't know.
Speaker 7 (07:35):
They hadn't written the ending yet. We shall see how
it ends for Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 4 (07:38):
Kyle, Yeah, we certainly will. He didn't want it to
end like a jet. The jet thing was horrible. And
I don't mean just the injury, I mean the second year.
I mean the ending of it. I think it was miserable,
and he's just like, I'm not going out that way,
to the point of me saying, you could have retired
after twenty years, just didn't want to.
Speaker 6 (07:54):
Now, it's really interesting because we've been down the road
a little bit on this.
Speaker 4 (07:58):
I think Aaron Rodgers badly wanted to be in La RAM,
I really do. And I think there was some progress
ords him becoming an La RAM because Matthew Stafford was
not going to be. And if he's on the RAM
right Rams right now, maybe is on his way to
win in a Super Bowl.
Speaker 6 (08:11):
We don't know he ends up with the Steelers.
Speaker 4 (08:13):
But I'm laughing at it because everything's so great right
now with Rogers and the Steelers as we sit here
on Christmas Eve. If we go back to La Troube
in August when I was sitting with them and it
was eighty six degrees, if I had said to him,
all right, Aaron, I know what's coming week seventeen.
Speaker 6 (08:29):
You see that maniac back.
Speaker 4 (08:30):
There on that field, that Adonis, that Greek god dk metcalf, Well,
he's going to be suspended. You see that guy riding
his bike around like he owns the place.
Speaker 6 (08:39):
Jj wak. We're in number of ninety.
Speaker 4 (08:41):
He's going to be injuring and out and it's just
going to be you out there trying to make plays.
He would be like, what take me back to the
Jets or take me to Malibu. That sounds horrible, Well
it's not. They're in great shape. And they hit rock
bottom a few weeks ago and the Aaron Rodgers Steelers
six and six lose to the Bills. You know how
it was fired Tomlin, all this, all that, and now
(09:01):
they've just kind of found this thing that we couldn't
really sink our teeth into yesterday We're trying to talk
about the Steelers, and Mike's making the point of like
they're not really great at anything statistically.
Speaker 6 (09:11):
In ranking wise, and yet they're sitting there nine to six.
Speaker 4 (09:14):
I think it's really a fourgone conclusion they're going to
win the division. So my question is now, is like,
let's say this, they get to the wildcard and they lose,
or let's say they get.
Speaker 6 (09:23):
To the wildcard and lose in the divisional. What's Rogers' future?
Is he coming back? Is he going to do season
twenty two?
Speaker 4 (09:30):
We're looking at the NFL now on a context of
we just watched a guy who's significantly older than Rogers,
looks like in far less shape than Rogers chucking touchdowns
around on a Monday night like it was nothing. Would
the Steelers have Rogers back on them when you're dood?
He want to come back? Probably? I think so, Like
if he played, finishes healthy and they go to the
(09:51):
playoffs and whatever happens, I think he may say, let's
do it one more time. I think he's loving it
and it's been really really successful.
Speaker 6 (10:00):
The Jets thing was an F an F, not a
D minus an F.
Speaker 4 (10:04):
And this thing so far as you nine and six
division title back in the playoffs. It's an a so
I'm happy for it. I think we make it again
next year.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
There's just certain things that fit together. Honestly, the way
Kyle's talking about how well it's worked for the Steelers,
like Mike Tomlin just walking off the field with those
two absolute legendary veterans, it just looks like they also together,
Tomlin walking along with the rookie quarterback.
Speaker 3 (10:25):
It's just it's very uncomfortable. It's not what you're used
to see.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
So to Kyle's point, running it back wouldn't be the
craziest thing in the world. Looking back at what the
Steelers have or have not accomplished in the postseason recently,
that is also uncomfortable. As we look at the AFC
playoff picture. Listen, we know this to be true. Steelers
always better than five hundred, Steelers always make it to
the playoffs. But what the Steelers rarely do, at least
in the last five years, is win and be on
(10:49):
the first weekend of the postseason one and done. For
the last five years, they have lost to the Ravens,
they have lost to the Bills, the Chiefs, the twenty
twenty Browns and the twenty seventeen Jaguars.
Speaker 3 (11:01):
That's it, guys, last five times.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
Wild card losses, well, last win came in twenty sixteen,
yearly ten years ago. So, Kyle, you think about that
clip from August. You watch Aaron Rodgers play this month
in December, are we building up to a magical Aaron
Rodgers run the way?
Speaker 3 (11:21):
Our brains just.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
Need it to be tickled in our head with football?
Fancy this in the next couple of weeks.
Speaker 6 (11:26):
I hope so. And you know me, I'm not afraid
to root for outcomes. I don't care.
Speaker 4 (11:31):
I root for storylines ending that are annoying and tired.
And if the Steelers finish whatever they finish, and they
win the North and they lose in the first round
of the playoffs, it's just going to be so annoying,
and the takes are going to be so nuclear, and
there's gonna be another round of fire Tomlin takes because
we saw guys like he's not going to have a
losing season this year.
Speaker 6 (11:48):
This sob did it again, and I love him. I
love him. It's an incredible thing.
Speaker 4 (11:52):
But in that same day that I sat with Rogers,
I sat with Tomlin, and I said, listen, you never
had a losing season.
Speaker 6 (11:58):
That's all anyone talks about, and sometimes even your critics talk.
Speaker 4 (12:02):
About it as a negative thing, that that's why you
stay hired. It means a lot of different things to
a lot of different people. What does it mean to you?
Not not much.
Speaker 6 (12:10):
It's all the past about what we're gonna do in
the future.
Speaker 4 (12:13):
I look at the playoffs right now, and if we
have the FFC playoffs standings, great, If we don't, don't.
Right now, the Pittsburgh is at the four in the playoffs.
Now we have a couple of games left, but right
now you know they're gonna host the game.
Speaker 6 (12:24):
So there it is, let's play.
Speaker 4 (12:26):
If the playoffs started today, they would be hosting the
LA Chargers in Jim Harbaugh, another team that has its
flaws and has.
Speaker 6 (12:34):
Its injuries, but they'd be going to Pittsburgh.
Speaker 4 (12:36):
You'd have Justin Herbert out in the elements in a
freezing cold Pittsburgh, and we'll see. I don't know, I
don't know what that game is, but I don't care
who they play. I'm going to openly say right now,
for the sake of finally killing the same boring, tired conversation.
Speaker 6 (12:50):
I hope the Steelers win a playoff game.
Speaker 7 (12:52):
I do remember what MVP Aaron Rodgers with the Green
Bay Packers look like. You remember those glory years, Remember
him throwing down the field? Did Jordy Nelson? He will
throw down the field now, But it's not going to
be like that, like that Aaron Roddy and that Green
Bay Packers team, that offense. First of all, it doesn't exist.
Second of all, that's not really what the Steelers try
to do anyway. So I think that there's the best
(13:14):
of Aaron Rodgers that we're seeing right now, but it's
sort of sneaky because it's back to him not making mistakes.
We just saw it was up on the bottom there.
I think no interceptions in the last five games. As
a matter of fact, when you look at it, he's
thrown two. I mean we had Thanksgiving today, is Christmas
Eve to Mars Christmas, so two major holidays and he
hasn't thrown an interception in that window there. A matter
(13:36):
of fact, too, since the beginning of October. If I'm
looking at this correctly, so I think he's sneakily getting
back to what he was before. And what you're seeing
from him that is probably going to be the best
of him right now. So it makes them they go
one hundred and thirty eight attempts no interceptions. I don't
know that I realized that until I saw this up
on the screen here in the last five games. So
it makes them sneakily dangerous right now because in the
(14:00):
playoffs it's yes, it's about running the football and playing
good defense, it's also about not making critical mistakes. And
right now that's the Rogers that we're getting. So it
makes them intriguing. You know, we were yesterday the question
was what word the come up with for how you
feel about the Steelers right now? Maybe it's intriguing. Maybe
that's the word.
Speaker 9 (14:18):
A day later, I'm on kb's train where when it
comes to storylines, you know, you know me, guys, I'm
always going to root for that hero kind of send
off right into the sunset kind of narrative, and I
would really want that for Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 10 (14:33):
But Mike g you made this point. I believe it
was yesterday or the day before.
Speaker 9 (14:36):
When you look at the af AFC playoff picture, even
the NFC one, is those teams in a wildcard spots,
that's the most dangerous. So you're talking about you use
this term, Mike g about the sneakily good team. The
ones that are in the white card are They're not
sneaky good.
Speaker 10 (14:51):
You know. And that's the problem and that's the challenge
I think with a lot of these teams.
Speaker 9 (14:55):
When you look at the playoff pictures, those three teams
in a wild card category.
Speaker 10 (14:59):
Right now are ascending.
Speaker 9 (15:01):
That's that's how dangerous this playoff picture is looking.
Speaker 10 (15:04):
And so when you get into.
Speaker 9 (15:06):
The playoffs, which it looks like the Steelers will at
that four.
Speaker 10 (15:09):
Spot, you can't be sneaky anymore.
Speaker 6 (15:13):
Right.
Speaker 9 (15:13):
It's January football.
Speaker 10 (15:15):
It's playoff football. And when those teams in that column
on the.
Speaker 9 (15:19):
Right, the Chargers, the Bills, and the Texans, if they
continue to play the way they've been playing, whether they're
in Pittsburgh or somewhere else, that's the time to show up.
And so I'm hopeful for Aaron Rodgers and the Steelers
because I want to see Number eight do well and
then played deep into the playoffs and hopefully win the
Super Bowl before he calls it a career.
Speaker 10 (15:37):
But again, in twenty.
Speaker 9 (15:38):
Twenty five, those teams in that wild card situation. They
are a situation themselves.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
Feels like we have to change the playoff picture column
to sneakily lurking after we use that word like fifty
times in this segment. Sneakily is a word confirmed. I
looked up spelling and.
Speaker 3 (15:52):
All sneaky in nature if you will.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
Ian Rappaport sneakily get in here r N a whole
network insider with the news and information this morning rap sheet.
The fallout from this DK Metcalf situation continues. There was
the ruling, there.
Speaker 3 (16:03):
Was the a p and now there's an update.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
So what can you tell us about the recent development
with DK Metcalf.
Speaker 11 (16:09):
That's right.
Speaker 14 (16:09):
DK Metcalf had his two game suspension upheld by the
NFL and the nflpa's appeals officer last night.
Speaker 15 (16:17):
That means he is.
Speaker 14 (16:17):
Officially suspended two games out for the rest of the
regular season, which has some ramifications for the Pittsburgh Steelers
not going to have the best receiver until the playoffs,
assuming they make the playoffs, and financially it has maybe
significant ramifications for DK Metcalf. He loses five hundred thousand
dollars in base salary that was due to him for
the rest of the year.
Speaker 15 (16:37):
Not a big deal. He's made a ton already.
Speaker 14 (16:40):
He sees forty five million dollars in future guarantees twenty
five fully guaranteed, an additional twenty for injury in twenty twenty.
Speaker 15 (16:48):
Seven that is now voided.
Speaker 14 (16:50):
Now the Pittsburgh Steelers have reached out to him to
tell him that they continue to support him, according to
colleague Tom Pelsero, So presumably Metcalf will be with the
Steelers s s. He is his second year of his
contract next year. But certainly anytime you have that much
money and guarantees voided, it creates some doubt, a frustrating,
difficult situation for DK Metcalp that he created for himself,
(17:13):
and obviously we will see the fallout. Meanwhile, for the
Baltimore Ravens stand in this division. Obviously, the Ravens have
the Saturday game against Green Bay Packers.
Speaker 15 (17:21):
I think it's fair to say these status of Lamar
Jackson very much up in the air. He was out
left this pass game with a.
Speaker 14 (17:28):
Back injury, was not able to finish against the New
England Patriots, and then a walk through on Tuesday was
listed as a non participant. That is a sign that, yeah,
missing the game is a possibility.
Speaker 15 (17:40):
It is a severe bruise.
Speaker 14 (17:41):
It is something that you try to get as functional
as possible. We just don't know if Lamar will get there.
Tyler Snoop Hunley is the backup quarterback that came in and.
Speaker 15 (17:50):
Filled in last week.
Speaker 14 (17:52):
Also some doubt for the Green Bay Packers and their
starting quarterback Jordan Love different injury. He is in the
NFL's concussion protocol. He was limited at practice yesterday. That
is obviously he stepped up from where Lamar and that
has the side he is progressing through the NFL's concussion protocol.
Speaker 15 (18:08):
We just don't know if he is going to get
there in time.
Speaker 14 (18:10):
Every concussion is different in the way every player responds
is different.
Speaker 15 (18:13):
So if he.
Speaker 14 (18:14):
Cannot go, Malik Willis, who's also dealing with the shoulder injury,
would presumably be the start.
Speaker 2 (18:20):
Oh Man rap sheet enough uncle. With the quarterback injuries,
we want to see these guys in late December. Thank you, Ian,
talk to you in a little bit. Three games tomorrow.
Week seventeen kicks off on Christmas Day, couple on Saturday,
your normal slate on Sunday so much to discuss which
players coaches storylized. Are you focusing your attention on Manti?
(18:42):
Is his marker uncapped? Kyle, since he doesn't know the question,
is feverishly prepared to demonstrate his artistic skills.
Speaker 6 (18:50):
Well, Manti's very good, very talented man.
Speaker 4 (18:52):
He's got the Santa smol Santa on a sweater. He's
busting through the SAMs and the new wifeboard. Right after this,
Manti very excited to see what you got Ton.
Speaker 6 (19:04):
Plus c J.
Speaker 3 (19:05):
Ham's come on, Jams, come in the building.
Speaker 4 (19:07):
Yeah, I love nothing like a Christmas Ham Right, guys.
Speaker 16 (19:24):
Good morning football.
Speaker 4 (19:28):
Since you made a playoffs, how do you look at
these last two games with's some message from Mike?
Speaker 6 (19:32):
What are your thoughts about finishing things up? If the
Simples go in the division, That's what the goal was.
Speaker 11 (19:37):
It wasn't to make the playoffs, is to win the division,
and that's what we're going to try to do.
Speaker 3 (19:43):
Go what you're trying to do?
Speaker 2 (19:45):
Ho ho ho, everybody, It's time for whiteboard Wednesday. On
Christmas Eve, we love a specialty edition here on GMFB.
On Sunday, Drake May and his Patriots will be in
New Jersey to take on the Jets. Guys, this is
a week seventeen game. It's a huge slate, a lot
of important games. You got three on Christmas Day, two
on Saturday, handful on Sunday.
Speaker 3 (20:03):
Sunday Night is awesome. What game are you watching closest over.
Speaker 9 (20:07):
The weekend time, Jamie, I'm going to go to the
game that you're going to be at, Jamie. Yeah, the
Chargers versus Houston Texans at SOFI Stadium. I think that
the way that the Chargers have been playing offensively last
week was the best offensive performance they've had in some time.
I think, believe back in October. And obviously, the Houston
(20:27):
Texans defense is one of the more disruptive and best
defenses in the NFL. So if you're looking at a
team that you can measure yourself against as the Houston Texans,
and I believe that Justin Herbert and the boys over
there get the job done because they have their mind
and their eyes set on not only possibly the AFC
West Championship, but possibly a shot at the number one
overall seed in the AFC playoff picture. So my eyes
(20:51):
I might even be at this game with you, Jamie.
It's going to be on this game in SOFI Stadium
on Saturday.
Speaker 3 (20:56):
I believe Saturday.
Speaker 10 (20:57):
I'm locked in on this one.
Speaker 7 (20:58):
Have to need me a better market for Christmas. They
get this one. It's the Eagles bill. The color go
so well, but that's the Eagles bills. And I'm looking
at it specifically from the Eagles side here, because you've
got yourself the potential to start easing off the gas
pedal a little bit, and you've got some banged up
guys in Jalen Carter and Lane Johnson and some folks
(21:20):
in Philly are debating, you know.
Speaker 6 (21:22):
What do you do?
Speaker 7 (21:23):
Do you chill right now because you're sort of kind
of locked into the three seed. I mean, the Bears
could lose two, you could win two, but that tiebreaker
is going to be a problem. I if you're asking me,
if I'm Nick Sirianni, I'm playing this game because wins
against the Raiders and the Commanders, that's nice. But to
be able to go into Buffalo and go toe to
(21:44):
toe with a potential Super Bowl contender for a team
that we've said, well, they're not looking like super Bowl
caliber team despite what their record is. We've been saying
it all season long. You need that lit mis test.
I think you do. And if you go in there
and you win that game or you play them tough,
you can come out of that and say, right now,
we're gonna rest in Week eighteen against the Commanders, but
we know that we are of the super Bowl caliber
(22:06):
that we were last year and we can carry that
into the postseason. I think the Eagle should be going
for him.
Speaker 4 (22:10):
It's good and they're all right answers. How about the
two versus the five right now in the NFC? That's
Niners Bears. It's a terrible Bears logo. But just imagine
if you are Ben Johnson and the Bears and you
just had this magical win over the Packers to start
Christmas Week at Soldier Field. You know, get on a plane,
fly to California to play a Niners team that is
electric on fire, and you have to stay up for
(22:32):
this game. This could determine the one seed. This depending
on how the ball bounces, this could be a playoff matchup.
Speaker 6 (22:38):
Preview.
Speaker 4 (22:39):
That's great that DJ Moore made this catch. Don't go
and get smacked around by the Niners. Brock Perty is unconscious.
The Niners are hot like This is a very tough matchup.
Odd thing about this one they played last year too
in the regular season, which is strange for non divisional opponents.
And I just remember Kyle Shanahan. This was in the
middle of the Bears ten game losing streak and it
(22:59):
was the first game after Matt Eberfluss was fired for
running out of time.
Speaker 6 (23:03):
In the game which he had time out and met
Kyle Shannon was just.
Speaker 4 (23:06):
Like gushing about Caleb Born to play the position. Unreal
arm talent, like you could tell, like he's like, oh,
I'd love to play with that toy. You're gonna hear
a lot of that this week. Shanahan the quarterback guy
talking about Caleb and his talent. But we'll see the
Niners smacked the Bears last year, but there is a
very different Bears team.
Speaker 6 (23:23):
This is a great matchup Sunday night football too.
Speaker 2 (23:25):
Shanahan was in his fuels at this time last year
as well. This is the first time ever in an
NFL season that two teams now that have eleven wins
are playing each other after having eleven or more wins
last season. So the turnaround effect is right with both
the forty nine ers and the Bears.
Speaker 3 (23:39):
It's a beautiful Sunday night matchup.
Speaker 2 (23:41):
Moving on, we are our recent converts. Honestly, I think
Mantai of Seinfeld, like we celebrated Festivus yesterday, that we are,
you know, I know it's like not a new phenomenon,
but like, oh hey, wow, Seinfeld's funny. So Festivus went
over like Gangbusters yesterday. Because you know what, we aired
some grievances on GMFB overtime.
Speaker 3 (23:59):
Here's a review.
Speaker 6 (24:01):
Look at my hair? Why do I look like Doc
Brown today? God the sweaters.
Speaker 3 (24:08):
So I'm gonna hold you close.
Speaker 10 (24:10):
This is my beef. This is my grievance against Jamie.
I'm over there field with a hope and to the anxiety.
Speaker 9 (24:16):
Well, my sister Jamie's over there looking at what the
next shoe's gonna buy?
Speaker 12 (24:19):
Where we were.
Speaker 10 (24:22):
That's my beef, that's my grievance.
Speaker 7 (24:24):
In twenty twenty six, I want to see a more
perturbed tale that I can be perturbed with. Nice guy Mint.
Speaker 11 (24:31):
And I.
Speaker 3 (24:33):
Get five back in SA was that was?
Speaker 4 (24:37):
That is?
Speaker 11 (24:42):
Your piece?
Speaker 16 (24:43):
Removed?
Speaker 4 (24:46):
Thought him in four Jamie, I don't know what the
hell you're singing.
Speaker 6 (24:51):
I'm singing and I'll listen.
Speaker 2 (24:52):
Okay, no, oh, so satisfying. That was so one Yesterday, Kyle,
you got ten seconds on your emotional state yesterday after
being exposed like that in your commercial break behavior.
Speaker 6 (25:13):
Yeah, I just ripped that of earphone out of my ear.
I just I could not.
Speaker 4 (25:17):
It was like, I feel like I kind of wanted
to be caught, and I certainly was, And then we
didn't show at all. When we've lent that back yesterday,
I laughed for like a minute straight.
Speaker 6 (25:24):
That was so funny.
Speaker 16 (25:25):
It's a great job, all right.
Speaker 2 (25:28):
So in the spirit of grievances, Manta, you must have
one for the NFL season. I'm looking at your board
right now. I'm looking forward to this explanation grievance for
the twenty twenty five NFL season, Manti, Mike g.
Speaker 9 (25:40):
Kyle by Tire First, Okay, So my agrievance with the
NFL is this. When I played for the Chargers, we
only had probably like two different jersey combinations.
Speaker 10 (25:47):
And now what they got is like a whole.
Speaker 9 (25:49):
They got the powder Blues, they got those all yellow
curious George Ones.
Speaker 10 (25:54):
I hope we never wear again.
Speaker 9 (25:55):
They got the all Navy you have the Patriots, They
have the rivalry jerseys.
Speaker 10 (26:00):
The Saints got the white helmets now that they go
well with the all white UNI forms.
Speaker 9 (26:04):
You got the Pats and those crazy Where was all
of this when I played?
Speaker 10 (26:08):
Like, where was all of the nice little combos? Like
they can all wear one colored sock. Now.
Speaker 9 (26:14):
Back in the day, you got to wear the half
and half and there had to be a certain amount
of blue in my saw and then white because if
there wasn't then you'd get a fine. Now you could
just wear one solid color in the sock. So my
grievance might g against the NFL is these jerseys nowadays
they're sick. I just wish that.
Speaker 10 (26:30):
I was able to wear some of those. So that's
my grievance.
Speaker 7 (26:33):
I saw Philip Rivers in an alternate uniform the other day. Man,
it's all I'm saying, But we'll get the seat. We'll
keep the seat warm for you.
Speaker 10 (26:41):
It's up to you.
Speaker 7 (26:43):
I am going to now Lix and this is not
a second guess. The touch push the centers they heard
from me back in the spring when they were talking
about the possibility of the NFL owners discussing the possibility
of banning the play. It was a safety issue. Then
it was hard to officiate as we got into the season.
No listen, just here you guys talk about Seinfeld. There's
(27:06):
a scene where the dry cleaner shrinks the shirt and
Jerry says, I don't even care about the shirt. I
just want to hear, for one time a dry cleaner
take responsibility and tell me you shrunk it. The guy goes,
I shrunk it, right. So all I want to hear
is that you wanted to ban the play because one
team was better at it than anybody else. And frankly,
(27:26):
at this point, I think you're going to a cock
to it because there's been fumbles, there's been flags for
false starts over the last couple of weeks. The NFL
is cyclical, and nothing that is overly effective lasts for
too long because coaches, personnel, guys, folks in the front,
they're too good. They figure it out. Eventually. You don't
(27:49):
have to ban the play. Just give it time. And
as Jeff, I'm another reference here, Jeff go boom and
Jurassic Park. Life finds a way. It's being stopped, penalties
are being thrown. No reason to ban it, Kyle, the dissenters.
Speaker 6 (28:03):
I droppings droppings you do eventually plan to have some
toush push.
Speaker 11 (28:09):
On your all.
Speaker 7 (28:10):
Right, here we go big PILEA.
Speaker 4 (28:12):
Yes, that's one big pilot chaos theory, which could relate
to the Eples as well. For me, this one is
going to be talking about the young kids. We're talking
about technology. My grievance is against wired headphone hate.
Speaker 6 (28:26):
What do you mean by that?
Speaker 4 (28:28):
Wired headphones are showing up everywhere now and I support
it and I like it, and I'm pushing back against
anyone that would laugh. And I've done it myself. Wired headphones?
What is this the two thousand and tens? Why aren't
you having your pods? And well, apparently they're back, and
apparently they're cool. Caleb himself wears them all the time because.
Speaker 6 (28:49):
You know what, screw these things. They're frustrating as hell.
You lose them, You lose them all the time.
Speaker 4 (28:55):
And I know that there was a meeting for the
overlords at Apple when they introduced these, and it was
Tim Cooks and Tim cook and the late Steve Jobs.
Speaker 6 (29:02):
That's we kind of set the groundwork for it.
Speaker 4 (29:03):
And probably someone put their hand up and they're like,
but won't everyone who buys them just lose them, and
they're like, first of all, you're fired, get them out
of here.
Speaker 6 (29:13):
And second of all, some carts they're willing to know,
buy more. I can't never mind losing the little pod.
Speaker 4 (29:19):
I lose the dumb little suitcase all the time, constantly.
Speaker 6 (29:23):
And then I'm kind of married to the idea. So
I wired headphones are back. I'm into it, bring them back.
And you know what, in my conversation with Caleb a
couple of weeks ago, he was passionate about wired headphones.
Listen to this.
Speaker 17 (29:34):
The wired headphones is more for my brain. So I'm
not having bluetooth and things like that going, you know,
sending sending wavelings to my.
Speaker 7 (29:43):
Brain and things like that, so sacred.
Speaker 17 (29:44):
Yeah, it's yeah, need to have a good brain for
for my life and for my job and things like that.
Speaker 7 (29:50):
And so that's for the wires.
Speaker 6 (29:53):
He needs to have a good brain for his life
and for his job.
Speaker 4 (29:55):
Now, I don't necessarily subscribe to the bluetooths are like
rotting our brains from inside out. But if it leads
to more wired headphones, god bless them. They fish hooked
us all with these things, and we're just lemmons and
suckers and SAPs, and we keep buying them and using
them and losing them and buying them again.
Speaker 6 (30:10):
I'm over it. Wired headphones come on.
Speaker 2 (30:11):
Back, Yeah, And if one falls out at that Apple
meeting that they're like and then everything will just stop
playing and then you bobble it and then it falls
on the ground. Then you got to shove it back
in your ear. It's just like in hindsight, it just
does sound like a terrible idea. A'll hail the wired headphones,
all right. Moving on Christmas movies. 'tis the season? Kyle,
I think does like a movie a night with his
(30:32):
kids leading up in the month of December, and it's
always some of the classics. And you watched it Go
All the Way last night, which is Minnesota A fantastic Kyle.
Speaker 3 (30:39):
It's a good selection.
Speaker 2 (30:41):
You must have a best Christmas movie performance of all time?
Speaker 3 (30:44):
Anti and what I do?
Speaker 11 (30:45):
I do?
Speaker 9 (30:46):
Now follow me on this a little bit, all right,
So Home Alone is probably my favorite Christmas movie. Now,
when I mentioned Home Alone, you probably think you know
Macaulay Culkin, but I gonna say Daniel Stern. Daniel Stern
was Marv in that. Yeah, and I think that Daniel
Stern was my most favorite person in that whole thing.
And if you don't understand the movie, you'd understand that
(31:08):
these are some of the things that he got hit with.
Speaker 10 (31:10):
There's an iron, there's a brick.
Speaker 9 (31:12):
That brick scene where there mcaulay cochin is just throwing
it over.
Speaker 10 (31:17):
That is the scream when he has a.
Speaker 9 (31:20):
Tarantula on him going down the stairs. This is Daniel Stern.
That guy really made the movie for me. He's probably
the only reason why I watched that thing on repeat
because he's just hilarious. Everybody asked me, what is your
favorite type of humor? That's my favorite type of humor
home alone Daniel Stern.
Speaker 4 (31:35):
All right, little thing about a little thing about Daniel Stern,
who I always used to call David Stern rest in
piece different that people completely fun. Little nugget about that.
So Daniel Stern was terrified of the tarantula.
Speaker 6 (31:47):
He is not cool with that. He did not want
tarantulas on his face.
Speaker 4 (31:51):
But the director, Chris Columbus said, all right, we have
to put this tarantula on your face, and it's not
gonna be a fake when we want a real one.
And I want you to scream as loud as possible.
The tarantula wrangler said, why wouldn't do that? If you scream,
the tarantula may react and then he's likely to lash
out and maybe attack and dances.
Speaker 6 (32:12):
It's like, what the how am I supposed to do?
So in the scene where Kevin puts the.
Speaker 4 (32:16):
Tarantula on Marv's face, Daniel Stern is actually not screaming.
He's pretending to scream, but he's actually completely silent.
Speaker 6 (32:24):
And then they added the scream.
Speaker 4 (32:26):
Later because if you screamed, the tarantula would have bit
him in the face.
Speaker 6 (32:29):
That's a true story.
Speaker 10 (32:31):
Wow.
Speaker 7 (32:33):
Wow, you gotta imagine. Yeah, you gotta imagine. If you're
an A list actor, you go. And that's why we
have stunt doubles, Like what are we doing here?
Speaker 3 (32:43):
The real face.
Speaker 6 (32:45):
It's a great shot of the face with the spider.
Speaker 7 (32:47):
You gotta have it, I know, Yeah, I mean, I
mean these days, we've got enough AI technology that they
would have just.
Speaker 6 (32:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 12 (32:55):
True.
Speaker 7 (32:56):
Yeah, back to the age of wired headphones that were
huge on top of your head.
Speaker 10 (33:02):
I'm gonna go.
Speaker 7 (33:03):
If you haven't seen this one, you got to check
it out quickly because Christmas is coming. Carol Kane in Scrooge,
who plays the ghost of Christmas Present. She is unbelievable
in this going up against Bill Murray. Listen, Bobcat Goldswaite
is a close second in this movie. I Love Scrooge
is one of my favorite Christmas movies. I know it's
not traditionally on the top five or top ten for
most folks, but she's the way she goes after Bill
(33:25):
Murray and the way that they play each other. It's
the ghost of Christmas Present in a way that you've
never seen before. I'll fix your mouth so it won't
hold soup. That's a great line right there. Oh, and
then the toaster where she goes, what's this break, It's
a toaster and she hits them right in the face.
It's great. You gotta check her out.
Speaker 6 (33:41):
I know exactly what you're talking about.
Speaker 4 (33:42):
It becomes this slapstick violence in the middle of the movie,
and it's really funny, and she's going toe to toe
for Bill Murray. Guys, and I just have a confession
to make. I just tweeted in the middle of the segment.
I'm here in my basement, I've got a computer on,
I'm doing the show, but I'm also setting a Christmas vibe,
like right behind my computer, I've got a TV and
(34:02):
I'm watching a Christmas story by Ralphie and.
Speaker 6 (34:05):
The Biggy Store. I got on the baby gun.
Speaker 4 (34:07):
I've got it on mute, so I got all kinds
of things. Now, Evelyn, my daughter, just joined me down here.
And my favorite performance from any Christmas movie is from
an actor named zach Ward.
Speaker 6 (34:16):
Now who is zach Ward?
Speaker 11 (34:17):
I don't know.
Speaker 6 (34:17):
I've never heard of him. Dak Ward is.
Speaker 4 (34:19):
Scott Farcas, Not Scott Scott, the yellow tooth, red haired
with the coonskin cap as they called it back then,
playing the bully.
Speaker 6 (34:31):
And listen, look at that face. That is a.
Speaker 4 (34:33):
Performance of a child actor. You want to give all
the attention to my Pauley Culkin. You want to give
it to Peter Billinsley, who plays Ralphie. I still now
as an adult, and I'm watching that child and I
want to punch that child. That's how strong that I
feel about Scott Farcas. An awful, awful, wretched face, grimace,
basal expression, Oh you're gonna cry, now, shut up, Scott Farcas,
(34:57):
I'll still punch you through the screen.
Speaker 6 (34:59):
And then he gets what's coming to him.
Speaker 4 (35:00):
When Ralphie just goes completely postal and does a full
ground and poly, he's Andre or Lobsky or something in
the middle of the octagon, just pounding him out. He
gets what he deserves. And I love Scott Parkers. Shout
out to Zach Ward all these years later. Great performance, Bud.
Speaker 2 (35:14):
Scott Farcas Joy of the season.
Speaker 3 (35:16):
That was Whiteboard Wednesday.
Speaker 2 (35:17):
Everybody, Merry Christmas Eve from GMFB. Play this around the
table today, send us your photos on social we'll get
a little Whiteboard Wednesday action going.
Speaker 16 (35:36):
Good Morning Football.
Speaker 2 (35:38):
There's a couple of things that are just inherently Minnesota.
Caribou coffee, the Mall of America and CJ.
Speaker 3 (35:44):
Hamm, the friend of our show. He's a Minnesota man,
and he's a Minnesota.
Speaker 2 (35:48):
Viking, and he's the Walter Payton sanity or nominee for
the Vikings.
Speaker 3 (35:51):
What's up, CJ?
Speaker 11 (35:51):
What's going on? Appreciate you having me on.
Speaker 3 (35:53):
We love to see you.
Speaker 7 (35:54):
Know.
Speaker 9 (35:54):
The last time I was in person with this guy
who was going head to head meeting.
Speaker 3 (35:58):
At mid Field, Yeah.
Speaker 10 (35:59):
Meeting at mid Midfield. He had like a couple of
runs on us on some show we were just talking.
Speaker 9 (36:06):
Yardage that we were lucky to get this guy down.
But those are some good times. We went back to
memory lane.
Speaker 3 (36:11):
How's your body feeling this time of year.
Speaker 10 (36:12):
It's good, It's good.
Speaker 12 (36:14):
I mean, it's good as good as it can be,
right right, right, But we're making it tomorrow, you know,
tomorrow Christmas it's happening.
Speaker 2 (36:22):
So Lions are in town Christmas Day special. You guys
are the second of three games on the NFL. You
you could play grinch for the Detroit Lions. Is that
something that is being talked about in the locker room?
Where is the pride point happening with with a game
like this Lion's bankings.
Speaker 12 (36:39):
Yeah, I mean, at the end of the day, we're
trying to win every single game we go out there
and play. Yeah, you know, whatever whatever stipulations are, it
is what it is. But go out there fantasy season,
strong play, you know, play our brand of football. And
it happens to be against the Detroit Lions. You know,
a divisional team that has you know, had our number
over the years, and I'm sure they're eager to try
(37:01):
to get that link back from earlier this year too.
Speaker 9 (37:04):
So yeah, one of the realities about being a professional
athlete is you do play on certain holidays. Now, for
a father like yourself, sometimes Santa comes a day early,
sometimes Santa comes a day later.
Speaker 10 (37:14):
It's a he gets a pick wherever he comes on
on Rudolph.
Speaker 9 (37:18):
But after the game, bro, do you celebrate with a
big meal with the family?
Speaker 10 (37:23):
Do you watch a holiday movie? What is that looking
like for for your household?
Speaker 12 (37:26):
I mean usually for us, it's right after the game.
We'll go and make reservations somewhere on the way home,
and uh, you know everybody that everybody that I had
at the game will come come and break bed with
us and we'll just enjoyed Enjordi evening.
Speaker 10 (37:39):
That's a little flex right there.
Speaker 3 (37:40):
Yeah yeah, break bright with all the people.
Speaker 6 (37:42):
Yeah yeah yeah.
Speaker 3 (37:45):
CJ.
Speaker 2 (37:45):
You've done so many wonderful things in your time with
the Vikings. Congratulations on your second year being the the
nominee for the word mayor for the organization.
Speaker 3 (37:53):
The events that you throw with your with your charity
are so wonderful.
Speaker 2 (37:56):
Can you just tell people that might not be familiar
with them, like what you're about?
Speaker 3 (38:00):
What's what's the CJ. Ham Charitable Donation about?
Speaker 12 (38:03):
I mean, really just us. We're blessed to be a blessing.
That's kind of that's kind of our Our model is
to see people, know people and love people, see you need,
feell in need, and whatever that may be. You know,
wherever wherever, God is tugging, you know, tugging on our hearts.
And you know this this Christmas season, we get to
do a great event where we get to uh, you know,
bring bringing bring in a family from the Boys and
(38:24):
Girls Club and bring them here and break bead with them,
open up presents, and you know, have my whole family
a part of that.
Speaker 11 (38:30):
My kids are part of that. It's a truly truly
special event.
Speaker 3 (38:33):
That's incredible. Are they going to go to the game
this family by any.
Speaker 10 (38:35):
Chance or do you have that's yeah, they'll be.
Speaker 3 (38:39):
So that means they get Snoop at halftime? Snoop Are
you a Snoop guy?
Speaker 11 (38:43):
Yeah for sure.
Speaker 10 (38:44):
Yeah, I mean.
Speaker 9 (38:48):
It's also there's also the Demon, the Demon Hunter truck.
Speaker 7 (38:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 12 (38:53):
I will say my kids, my kids and the family
are probably more excited for the K Pop demon Snoop Dogg,
But I know all of us millennials will be uh
for Snoop.
Speaker 17 (39:05):
C J.
Speaker 3 (39:06):
Let me ask you this question.
Speaker 2 (39:07):
So you know, we in the summer we always see
how electric tight end University can get. Have you ever
considered throwing like a full back fair or a full
back festival or something where you get all the fullbacks
and trained together.
Speaker 12 (39:20):
I've been asked this question many times. Yeah, yeah, and
I know there there probably wouldn't be as many of
us there, but it.
Speaker 11 (39:28):
Would be a great time.
Speaker 12 (39:29):
I mean that the full back brotherhood is real and strong,
and you know there's there's some great guys out there.
Speaker 2 (39:35):
We would you guys would break bread a full back festival.
I wonder where you hold it in fair Bow, Minnesota
or something.
Speaker 10 (39:42):
GATJ.
Speaker 3 (39:43):
We wish you the best. We love seeing you. Merry Christmas.
Do in your family.

Merry Christmas. Thank you guys.
Speaker 3 (39:48):
Come on yeah.

Walter Payton, NFL Man of the Yar nominee for the
Vikings Coograssy, thank you.
Speaker 3 (40:02):
It's time for What's your Beats? Presented by Old Trapper.
Speaker 6 (40:06):
Welcome to Good Morning Football.
Speaker 4 (40:07):
We're doing it at home on Christmas Eve and I'm
one of the people who really believes the Christmas Eve
is superior to Christmas Day, just because of all the anticipation,
the excitement. And I love Christmas Eve toy assembly or
putting things together and putting batteries in all that type
of stuff.
Speaker 6 (40:21):
There is one thing that really bothers me, and this.
Speaker 4 (40:23):
Is deep in the minutia of toy assembly, and it
is the devil that is known.
Speaker 6 (40:27):
As decals dcals.
Speaker 4 (40:30):
Whether you have a go kart or a Lego set,
decals are these tiny little wish speed stickers that you
have to place precisely right, just on the right spot
to give more magic to the toy. They stick to
your fingers sometimes, or even worse, they stick to themselves
and you cannot unstick them, or you stick them and
(40:51):
they're slightly crooked, or there's a little devil known as
air bubbles within the decal that you can't smooth out
no matter what you do. Decals are the open heart
surgery of toy assembly. They are the perfect touch pass
dropped in bit in two safeties. They're almost impossible to land.
And yet I know I'll be doing some tonight, and
I bet I'm not alone decals a worthy adversary on
(41:13):
Christmas Eve, but someone attended me a lot of losses
over the years.
Speaker 2 (41:17):
Yeah, and then Kyle, you think you have it perfect right,
you lay that detail down and decal down, and then
as you get to the end, it goes up and
over the ridge where it wasn't supposed to be, Like
there was the perfect groove. You tried to do the
parallel park of the decal and it just didn't stick
the landing. It's so infuriating.
Speaker 3 (41:34):
I hear you. The devil is in the decal. I
see a new.
Speaker 9 (41:37):
Christmas round, or when you're trying to hold it over
whatever objects you're trying to put it on in one
corner just falls and it gets stuck, and then you
got to keep taking the company on and then another
one gets stuck in by the time that you got
it right, that he said on the back of that
decal has already gone and it just falls off whatever
you're time to put it on.
Speaker 10 (41:53):
That's yeah, decals they suck.
Speaker 7 (41:54):
I don't know. To me. Last year I did my
my Barbie dream house, my daughter's Barbie dreamouse.
Speaker 6 (42:02):
I nailed it.
Speaker 7 (42:03):
I maybe a I might realize it until you're we're
gonna have.
Speaker 6 (42:08):
To go upstairs.
Speaker 7 (42:09):
I'm gonna have to take you via my phone by
and we're gonna have to take a tour of the
Barbie dream House.
Speaker 16 (42:14):
Ready to go.
Speaker 7 (42:15):
Look at this, I don't even tell the markettrol room
is the best. To Merry Christmas. And to all you
guys there, uh you go upstanding to shrry the Barbie
dream House.
Speaker 6 (42:22):
Do it in the expanded Barbie Universe. There's a lot
of decals.
Speaker 4 (42:25):
And you know what sucks, guys, is when you place
the decal and you mess it up, then you try
to peel it off for another shot at it, and
then it has lost you.
Speaker 6 (42:34):
This way big, he said.
Speaker 4 (42:35):
It, because this. Look at that's a beautiful house there, Mike.
That's that thing's on Zillow. Look at that amazing that's not.
Speaker 6 (42:43):
Decals.
Speaker 2 (42:43):
That makes one of us stunning.
Speaker 3 (42:46):
Merry Christmas Eve, everybody.
Speaker 2 (42:48):
Good luck playing Tetris with the Christmas gifts tonight.

Kyle, Kyle, great to see you back in honestly where
it feels like you just look safe for you, healthier
you do you want to tell us what you were
doing yesterday?
Speaker 3 (01:49):
Would you rather just leave that for just the mind
to wonder?
Speaker 6 (01:52):
Yes? I feel like I was really clear on this.
Speaker 4 (01:55):
Yesterday I was in prison, so I got bailed out
by a bailed bondsman and I won't be up for long. Guys,
I have an eight lin on right now. I'm not
allowed to say what I did, but what do you do?
Yesterday's show, I was coming from some sort of penitentiary.
Now I'm in Asaua, and so it's just been that
kind of week and I just want to.
Speaker 6 (02:11):
Talk some football. Mike Gee, you ready to talk ball?
You got takes today?
Speaker 7 (02:14):
Yeah, well, I just what got you locked up in
the first place.
Speaker 4 (02:18):
I'm not allowed to say. I might have the word
indecent in it, but I don't want to put that way.
Speaker 6 (02:22):
It's just all about ball today.
Speaker 4 (02:23):
I want to compromise myself by attorney whos told me
to stay silent.
Speaker 6 (02:26):
So I'm going to try to do that. Ball ball ball.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
Let's go, Jamie, keep it class, keep it plenty, kaybe
he's in that suna. He went to sweat out ten
pounds of take today in the NFL. Kyle, let's do
let's look back, as this time of year often does
at training camp, when you actually had a chance to
sit down with and speak with Aaron Rodgers back in
August during Back Together Weekend, and in that discussion, Rogers
(02:50):
had an answer about what it felt like to come
back and play this twenty first season in the NFL.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
Take a listen.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
Jim Carrey had this quote when he was thinking about retiring,
and Jim Carrey said, I've done enough. I have I
am enough as a fan of yours, that was how
I felt about you last year, twenty years.
Speaker 7 (03:10):
Started to since Super retire, I did you. Yeah, it
wasn't enough for you.
Speaker 6 (03:13):
Though, why not.
Speaker 8 (03:15):
I fell in love with this game when I was
six years old, and I wanted to have that closure
and give back to the game one more time the
way that it's given to me, give back to.
Speaker 3 (03:29):
The game one more time.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
It was a great conversation then, and frankly, the answer
is still tracks now.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
Mansi. What we have seen of Aaron.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
Rodgers is what we thought we were going to get
with the New York Jets, not how it worked out. Clearly,
the Rogers Mike Tomlin thing is working, at least in December, Mansi,
we've seen sixteen seventeen weeks of this.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
What do you make of Rogers in twenty twenty five.
Speaker 9 (03:48):
Well, I think the whole journey up Aaron Rodgers as
a Pittsburgh Steelers has been beautiful since that time before
he became a Pittsburgh Steeler, not too long ago.
Speaker 10 (03:57):
I mean Cam Hayward, one of the.
Speaker 9 (03:58):
Leaders of that Pittsburgh Steelers A team had some very colorful,
maybe colorful world as I could say about the potential
of having somebody like Aaron Rodgers to take a Listen,
let's go back.
Speaker 11 (04:10):
I ain't doing that darkness darkness treat retreat. I don't
mean any of that crap. Like, either you want to
be a Pittsburgh Steeler you don't. That's that's simple. That's
the pitch. Like if you want me to recruit, that's
the recruiting pitch. You know, Pittsburgh Steelers. If you want
to be part of it, so be it. If you don't,
no no skin on my back.
Speaker 9 (04:31):
But this is this is what it looked like after
last week's game.
Speaker 10 (04:34):
It's working, good guy.
Speaker 9 (04:37):
And if you don't if people didn't see this clip,
this is Aaron Rodgers pointing to Mike Tomlin after he
got his two hundredth win.
Speaker 10 (04:44):
So you're looking at the journey.
Speaker 9 (04:47):
That is Aaron Rodgers as a Pittsburgh Steeler, and I
think it.
Speaker 10 (04:50):
Fits so well.
Speaker 9 (04:51):
Why because I think this is the first time in
Aaron Rodgers' career that he can.
Speaker 10 (04:54):
Just be a quarterback. I think if you look at his.
Speaker 9 (04:57):
Career in general, from the time he got to the NFL,
sometimes he had to be the play caller. Sometimes he
had to be the culture enforcer. Some times you got
to be the standard bearer over there in Pittsburgh. All
of that stuff is set in stone already. So for
Aaron Rodgers, are coming to this picture. He can just
be a gun slinger. He can just be the guy
that sits back there and he commands commands an offense.
Speaker 10 (05:18):
Mike Gee.
Speaker 9 (05:18):
So, I think from where it started in the offseason
and Cam Hayward having those comments to where it is now,
I think has worked out beautifully.
Speaker 11 (05:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (05:25):
I covered them in week one. I guess it was
Week one, the opener against the Jets. Yeah, and those
three guys were walking off together. In fact, Tomlin and
Hayward man Ti were waiting for Rogers so that the
three of them could all walk off together. And there
they are doing it again in Detroit. I go back
to that interview and the fact that he told Kyle
(05:46):
I love the game, is a game that he fell
in love with. I feel like we're getting all of
it from Aaron Rodgers this season. We're getting all of
the emotion. There's been some screaming and yelling. A matter
of fact, this past week, John Ue Smith comes in
motion and you can hear him hot on the mic saying,
what the bleep are you doing right? You're seeing some yelling,
some barking at teammates earlier in the season. You're also
(06:08):
seeing some incredible emotion. You're seeing them battle through the
wrist injury, and you're seeing in the postgame press conferences
he's asked about were you guys prepared, and he went
back at the reporter and says, I know what you're doing.
I know what you're doing. I feel like there's no
holding back from Rogers in a lot of ways. And
it's not just negative energy. It's not just anger or
all that stuff coming out. It's positive energy. It's love
(06:28):
for the game. It's appreciation of the players. Here he
is with Avonte Maddox, veteran cornerback, as caught by NFL Films.
Speaker 10 (06:35):
That's you, brother, let me see you man, four years
just for you now eight regrets.
Speaker 12 (06:41):
Appreciate Hey, I respect the game, brother, and.
Speaker 10 (06:49):
The journey too.
Speaker 13 (06:50):
Right class class cliss, Oh, you don't want me to
help you forget you're slowering a forty two year old?
Now what you're slowering a forty two You all.
Speaker 7 (07:13):
This is great? I mean, this is what you want.
I remember we got some advice on our wedding day.
Take it all in right, Like make sure you're not
just kind of going through the motions that you just
drink it all in and create those memories. I feel
like that's what Aaron Rodgers is doing. Now, how's it
going to end? We have no idea. We shall see.
While they were making the movie Casa Blanker, they were
making jokes in the script about how it's going to
(07:34):
end because.
Speaker 4 (07:35):
They didn't know.
Speaker 7 (07:35):
They hadn't written the ending yet. We shall see how
it ends for Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 4 (07:38):
Kyle, Yeah, we certainly will. He didn't want it to
end like a jet. The jet thing was horrible. And
I don't mean just the injury, I mean the second year.
I mean the ending of it. I think it was miserable,
and he's just like, I'm not going out that way,
to the point of me saying, you could have retired
after twenty years, just didn't want to.
Speaker 6 (07:54):
Now, it's really interesting because we've been down the road
a little bit on this.
Speaker 4 (07:58):
I think Aaron Rodgers badly wanted to be in La RAM,
I really do. And I think there was some progress
ords him becoming an La RAM because Matthew Stafford was
not going to be. And if he's on the RAM
right Rams right now, maybe is on his way to
win in a Super Bowl.
Speaker 6 (08:11):
We don't know he ends up with the Steelers.
Speaker 4 (08:13):
But I'm laughing at it because everything's so great right
now with Rogers and the Steelers as we sit here
on Christmas Eve. If we go back to La Troube
in August when I was sitting with them and it
was eighty six degrees, if I had said to him,
all right, Aaron, I know what's coming week seventeen.
Speaker 6 (08:29):
You see that maniac back.
Speaker 4 (08:30):
There on that field, that Adonis, that Greek god dk metcalf, Well,
he's going to be suspended. You see that guy riding
his bike around like he owns the place.
Speaker 6 (08:39):
Jj wak. We're in number of ninety.
Speaker 4 (08:41):
He's going to be injuring and out and it's just
going to be you out there trying to make plays.
He would be like, what take me back to the
Jets or take me to Malibu. That sounds horrible, Well
it's not. They're in great shape. And they hit rock
bottom a few weeks ago and the Aaron Rodgers Steelers
six and six lose to the Bills. You know how
it was fired Tomlin, all this, all that, and now
(09:01):
they've just kind of found this thing that we couldn't
really sink our teeth into yesterday We're trying to talk
about the Steelers, and Mike's making the point of like
they're not really great at anything statistically.
Speaker 6 (09:11):
In ranking wise, and yet they're sitting there nine to six.
Speaker 4 (09:14):
I think it's really a fourgone conclusion they're going to
win the division. So my question is now, is like,
let's say this, they get to the wildcard and they lose,
or let's say they get.
Speaker 6 (09:23):
To the wildcard and lose in the divisional. What's Rogers' future?
Is he coming back? Is he going to do season
twenty two?
Speaker 4 (09:30):
We're looking at the NFL now on a context of
we just watched a guy who's significantly older than Rogers,
looks like in far less shape than Rogers chucking touchdowns
around on a Monday night like it was nothing. Would
the Steelers have Rogers back on them when you're dood?
He want to come back? Probably? I think so, Like
if he played, finishes healthy and they go to the
(09:51):
playoffs and whatever happens, I think he may say, let's
do it one more time. I think he's loving it
and it's been really really successful.
Speaker 6 (10:00):
The Jets thing was an F an F, not a
D minus an F.
Speaker 4 (10:04):
And this thing so far as you nine and six
division title back in the playoffs. It's an a so
I'm happy for it. I think we make it again
next year.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
There's just certain things that fit together. Honestly, the way
Kyle's talking about how well it's worked for the Steelers,
like Mike Tomlin just walking off the field with those
two absolute legendary veterans, it just looks like they also together,
Tomlin walking along with the rookie quarterback.
Speaker 3 (10:25):
It's just it's very uncomfortable. It's not what you're used
to see.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
So to Kyle's point, running it back wouldn't be the
craziest thing in the world. Looking back at what the
Steelers have or have not accomplished in the postseason recently,
that is also uncomfortable. As we look at the AFC
playoff picture. Listen, we know this to be true. Steelers
always better than five hundred, Steelers always make it to
the playoffs. But what the Steelers rarely do, at least
in the last five years, is win and be on
(10:49):
the first weekend of the postseason one and done. For
the last five years, they have lost to the Ravens,
they have lost to the Bills, the Chiefs, the twenty
twenty Browns and the twenty seventeen Jaguars.
Speaker 3 (11:01):
That's it, guys, last five times.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
Wild card losses, well, last win came in twenty sixteen,
yearly ten years ago. So, Kyle, you think about that
clip from August. You watch Aaron Rodgers play this month
in December, are we building up to a magical Aaron
Rodgers run the way?
Speaker 3 (11:21):
Our brains just.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
Need it to be tickled in our head with football?
Fancy this in the next couple of weeks.
Speaker 6 (11:26):
I hope so. And you know me, I'm not afraid
to root for outcomes. I don't care.
Speaker 4 (11:31):
I root for storylines ending that are annoying and tired.
And if the Steelers finish whatever they finish, and they
win the North and they lose in the first round
of the playoffs, it's just going to be so annoying,
and the takes are going to be so nuclear, and
there's gonna be another round of fire Tomlin takes because
we saw guys like he's not going to have a
losing season this year.
Speaker 6 (11:48):
This sob did it again, and I love him. I
love him. It's an incredible thing.
Speaker 4 (11:52):
But in that same day that I sat with Rogers,
I sat with Tomlin, and I said, listen, you never
had a losing season.
Speaker 6 (11:58):
That's all anyone talks about, and sometimes even your critics talk.
Speaker 4 (12:02):
About it as a negative thing, that that's why you
stay hired. It means a lot of different things to
a lot of different people. What does it mean to you?
Not not much.
Speaker 6 (12:10):
It's all the past about what we're gonna do in
the future.
Speaker 4 (12:13):
I look at the playoffs right now, and if we
have the FFC playoffs standings, great, If we don't, don't.
Right now, the Pittsburgh is at the four in the playoffs.
Now we have a couple of games left, but right
now you know they're gonna host the game.
Speaker 6 (12:24):
So there it is, let's play.
Speaker 4 (12:26):
If the playoffs started today, they would be hosting the
LA Chargers in Jim Harbaugh, another team that has its
flaws and has.
Speaker 6 (12:34):
Its injuries, but they'd be going to Pittsburgh.
Speaker 4 (12:36):
You'd have Justin Herbert out in the elements in a
freezing cold Pittsburgh, and we'll see. I don't know, I
don't know what that game is, but I don't care
who they play. I'm going to openly say right now,
for the sake of finally killing the same boring, tired conversation.
Speaker 6 (12:50):
I hope the Steelers win a playoff game.
Speaker 7 (12:52):
I do remember what MVP Aaron Rodgers with the Green
Bay Packers look like. You remember those glory years, Remember
him throwing down the field? Did Jordy Nelson? He will
throw down the field now, But it's not going to
be like that, like that Aaron Roddy and that Green
Bay Packers team, that offense. First of all, it doesn't exist.
Second of all, that's not really what the Steelers try
to do anyway. So I think that there's the best
(13:14):
of Aaron Rodgers that we're seeing right now, but it's
sort of sneaky because it's back to him not making mistakes.
We just saw it was up on the bottom there.
I think no interceptions in the last five games. As
a matter of fact, when you look at it, he's
thrown two. I mean we had Thanksgiving today, is Christmas
Eve to Mars Christmas, so two major holidays and he
hasn't thrown an interception in that window there. A matter
(13:36):
of fact, too, since the beginning of October. If I'm
looking at this correctly, so I think he's sneakily getting
back to what he was before. And what you're seeing
from him that is probably going to be the best
of him right now. So it makes them they go
one hundred and thirty eight attempts no interceptions. I don't
know that I realized that until I saw this up
on the screen here in the last five games. So
it makes them sneakily dangerous right now because in the
(14:00):
playoffs it's yes, it's about running the football and playing
good defense, it's also about not making critical mistakes. And
right now that's the Rogers that we're getting. So it
makes them intriguing. You know, we were yesterday the question
was what word the come up with for how you
feel about the Steelers right now? Maybe it's intriguing. Maybe
that's the word.
Speaker 9 (14:18):
A day later, I'm on kb's train where when it
comes to storylines, you know, you know me, guys, I'm
always going to root for that hero kind of send
off right into the sunset kind of narrative, and I
would really want that for Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 10 (14:33):
But Mike g you made this point. I believe it
was yesterday or the day before.
Speaker 9 (14:36):
When you look at the af AFC playoff picture, even
the NFC one, is those teams in a wildcard spots,
that's the most dangerous. So you're talking about you use
this term, Mike g about the sneakily good team. The
ones that are in the white card are They're not
sneaky good.
Speaker 10 (14:51):
You know. And that's the problem and that's the challenge
I think with a lot of these teams.
Speaker 9 (14:55):
When you look at the playoff pictures, those three teams
in a wild card category.
Speaker 10 (14:59):
Right now are ascending.
Speaker 9 (15:01):
That's that's how dangerous this playoff picture is looking.
Speaker 10 (15:04):
And so when you get into.
Speaker 9 (15:06):
The playoffs, which it looks like the Steelers will at
that four.
Speaker 10 (15:09):
Spot, you can't be sneaky anymore.
Speaker 6 (15:13):
Right.
Speaker 9 (15:13):
It's January football.
Speaker 10 (15:15):
It's playoff football. And when those teams in that column
on the.
Speaker 9 (15:19):
Right, the Chargers, the Bills, and the Texans, if they
continue to play the way they've been playing, whether they're
in Pittsburgh or somewhere else, that's the time to show up.
And so I'm hopeful for Aaron Rodgers and the Steelers
because I want to see Number eight do well and
then played deep into the playoffs and hopefully win the
Super Bowl before he calls it a career.
Speaker 10 (15:37):
But again, in twenty.
Speaker 9 (15:38):
Twenty five, those teams in that wild card situation. They
are a situation themselves.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
Feels like we have to change the playoff picture column
to sneakily lurking after we use that word like fifty
times in this segment. Sneakily is a word confirmed. I
looked up spelling and.
Speaker 3 (15:52):
All sneaky in nature if you will.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
Ian Rappaport sneakily get in here r N a whole
network insider with the news and information this morning rap sheet.
The fallout from this DK Metcalf situation continues. There was
the ruling, there.
Speaker 3 (16:03):
Was the a p and now there's an update.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
So what can you tell us about the recent development
with DK Metcalf.
Speaker 11 (16:09):
That's right.
Speaker 14 (16:09):
DK Metcalf had his two game suspension upheld by the
NFL and the nflpa's appeals officer last night.
Speaker 15 (16:17):
That means he is.
Speaker 14 (16:17):
Officially suspended two games out for the rest of the
regular season, which has some ramifications for the Pittsburgh Steelers
not going to have the best receiver until the playoffs,
assuming they make the playoffs, and financially it has maybe
significant ramifications for DK Metcalf. He loses five hundred thousand
dollars in base salary that was due to him for
the rest of the year.
Speaker 15 (16:37):
Not a big deal. He's made a ton already.
Speaker 14 (16:40):
He sees forty five million dollars in future guarantees twenty
five fully guaranteed, an additional twenty for injury in twenty twenty.
Speaker 15 (16:48):
Seven that is now voided.
Speaker 14 (16:50):
Now the Pittsburgh Steelers have reached out to him to
tell him that they continue to support him, according to
colleague Tom Pelsero, So presumably Metcalf will be with the
Steelers s s. He is his second year of his
contract next year. But certainly anytime you have that much
money and guarantees voided, it creates some doubt, a frustrating,
difficult situation for DK Metcalp that he created for himself,
(17:13):
and obviously we will see the fallout. Meanwhile, for the
Baltimore Ravens stand in this division. Obviously, the Ravens have
the Saturday game against Green Bay Packers.
Speaker 15 (17:21):
I think it's fair to say these status of Lamar
Jackson very much up in the air. He was out
left this pass game with a.
Speaker 14 (17:28):
Back injury, was not able to finish against the New
England Patriots, and then a walk through on Tuesday was
listed as a non participant. That is a sign that, yeah,
missing the game is a possibility.
Speaker 15 (17:40):
It is a severe bruise.
Speaker 14 (17:41):
It is something that you try to get as functional
as possible. We just don't know if Lamar will get there.
Tyler Snoop Hunley is the backup quarterback that came in and.
Speaker 15 (17:50):
Filled in last week.
Speaker 14 (17:52):
Also some doubt for the Green Bay Packers and their
starting quarterback Jordan Love different injury. He is in the
NFL's concussion protocol. He was limited at practice yesterday. That
is obviously he stepped up from where Lamar and that
has the side he is progressing through the NFL's concussion protocol.
Speaker 15 (18:08):
We just don't know if he is going to get
there in time.
Speaker 14 (18:10):
Every concussion is different in the way every player responds
is different.
Speaker 15 (18:13):
So if he.
Speaker 14 (18:14):
Cannot go, Malik Willis, who's also dealing with the shoulder injury,
would presumably be the start.
Speaker 2 (18:20):
Oh Man rap sheet enough uncle. With the quarterback injuries,
we want to see these guys in late December. Thank you, Ian,
talk to you in a little bit. Three games tomorrow.
Week seventeen kicks off on Christmas Day, couple on Saturday,
your normal slate on Sunday so much to discuss which
players coaches storylized. Are you focusing your attention on Manti?
(18:42):
Is his marker uncapped? Kyle, since he doesn't know the question,
is feverishly prepared to demonstrate his artistic skills.
Speaker 6 (18:50):
Well, Manti's very good, very talented man.
Speaker 4 (18:52):
He's got the Santa smol Santa on a sweater. He's
busting through the SAMs and the new wifeboard. Right after this,
Manti very excited to see what you got Ton.
Speaker 6 (19:04):
Plus c J.
Speaker 3 (19:05):
Ham's come on, Jams, come in the building.
Speaker 4 (19:07):
Yeah, I love nothing like a Christmas Ham Right, guys.
Speaker 16 (19:24):
Good morning football.
Speaker 4 (19:28):
Since you made a playoffs, how do you look at
these last two games with's some message from Mike?
Speaker 6 (19:32):
What are your thoughts about finishing things up? If the
Simples go in the division, That's what the goal was.
Speaker 11 (19:37):
It wasn't to make the playoffs, is to win the division,
and that's what we're going to try to do.
Speaker 3 (19:43):
Go what you're trying to do?
Speaker 2 (19:45):
Ho ho ho, everybody, It's time for whiteboard Wednesday. On
Christmas Eve, we love a specialty edition here on GMFB.
On Sunday, Drake May and his Patriots will be in
New Jersey to take on the Jets. Guys, this is
a week seventeen game. It's a huge slate, a lot
of important games. You got three on Christmas Day, two
on Saturday, handful on Sunday.
Speaker 3 (20:03):
Sunday Night is awesome. What game are you watching closest over.
Speaker 9 (20:07):
The weekend time, Jamie, I'm going to go to the
game that you're going to be at, Jamie. Yeah, the
Chargers versus Houston Texans at SOFI Stadium. I think that
the way that the Chargers have been playing offensively last
week was the best offensive performance they've had in some time.
I think, believe back in October. And obviously, the Houston
(20:27):
Texans defense is one of the more disruptive and best
defenses in the NFL. So if you're looking at a
team that you can measure yourself against as the Houston Texans,
and I believe that Justin Herbert and the boys over
there get the job done because they have their mind
and their eyes set on not only possibly the AFC
West Championship, but possibly a shot at the number one
overall seed in the AFC playoff picture. So my eyes
(20:51):
I might even be at this game with you, Jamie.
It's going to be on this game in SOFI Stadium
on Saturday.
Speaker 3 (20:56):
I believe Saturday.
Speaker 10 (20:57):
I'm locked in on this one.
Speaker 7 (20:58):
Have to need me a better market for Christmas. They
get this one. It's the Eagles bill. The color go
so well, but that's the Eagles bills. And I'm looking
at it specifically from the Eagles side here, because you've
got yourself the potential to start easing off the gas
pedal a little bit, and you've got some banged up
guys in Jalen Carter and Lane Johnson and some folks
(21:20):
in Philly are debating, you know.
Speaker 6 (21:22):
What do you do?
Speaker 7 (21:23):
Do you chill right now because you're sort of kind
of locked into the three seed. I mean, the Bears
could lose two, you could win two, but that tiebreaker
is going to be a problem. I if you're asking me,
if I'm Nick Sirianni, I'm playing this game because wins
against the Raiders and the Commanders, that's nice. But to
be able to go into Buffalo and go toe to
(21:44):
toe with a potential Super Bowl contender for a team
that we've said, well, they're not looking like super Bowl
caliber team despite what their record is. We've been saying
it all season long. You need that lit mis test.
I think you do. And if you go in there
and you win that game or you play them tough,
you can come out of that and say, right now,
we're gonna rest in Week eighteen against the Commanders, but
we know that we are of the super Bowl caliber
(22:06):
that we were last year and we can carry that
into the postseason. I think the Eagle should be going
for him.
Speaker 4 (22:10):
It's good and they're all right answers. How about the
two versus the five right now in the NFC? That's
Niners Bears. It's a terrible Bears logo. But just imagine
if you are Ben Johnson and the Bears and you
just had this magical win over the Packers to start
Christmas Week at Soldier Field. You know, get on a plane,
fly to California to play a Niners team that is
electric on fire, and you have to stay up for
(22:32):
this game. This could determine the one seed. This depending
on how the ball bounces, this could be a playoff matchup.
Speaker 6 (22:38):
Preview.
Speaker 4 (22:39):
That's great that DJ Moore made this catch. Don't go
and get smacked around by the Niners. Brock Perty is unconscious.
The Niners are hot like This is a very tough matchup.
Odd thing about this one they played last year too
in the regular season, which is strange for non divisional opponents.
And I just remember Kyle Shanahan. This was in the
middle of the Bears ten game losing streak and it
(22:59):
was the first game after Matt Eberfluss was fired for
running out of time.
Speaker 6 (23:03):
In the game which he had time out and met
Kyle Shannon was just.
Speaker 4 (23:06):
Like gushing about Caleb Born to play the position. Unreal
arm talent, like you could tell, like he's like, oh,
I'd love to play with that toy. You're gonna hear
a lot of that this week. Shanahan the quarterback guy
talking about Caleb and his talent. But we'll see the
Niners smacked the Bears last year, but there is a
very different Bears team.
Speaker 6 (23:23):
This is a great matchup Sunday night football too.
Speaker 2 (23:25):
Shanahan was in his fuels at this time last year
as well. This is the first time ever in an
NFL season that two teams now that have eleven wins
are playing each other after having eleven or more wins
last season. So the turnaround effect is right with both
the forty nine ers and the Bears.
Speaker 3 (23:39):
It's a beautiful Sunday night matchup.
Speaker 2 (23:41):
Moving on, we are our recent converts. Honestly, I think
Mantai of Seinfeld, like we celebrated Festivus yesterday, that we are,
you know, I know it's like not a new phenomenon,
but like, oh hey, wow, Seinfeld's funny. So Festivus went
over like Gangbusters yesterday. Because you know what, we aired
some grievances on GMFB overtime.
Speaker 3 (23:59):
Here's a review.
Speaker 6 (24:01):
Look at my hair? Why do I look like Doc
Brown today? God the sweaters.
Speaker 3 (24:08):
So I'm gonna hold you close.
Speaker 10 (24:10):
This is my beef. This is my grievance against Jamie.
I'm over there field with a hope and to the anxiety.
Speaker 9 (24:16):
Well, my sister Jamie's over there looking at what the
next shoe's gonna buy?
Speaker 12 (24:19):
Where we were.
Speaker 10 (24:22):
That's my beef, that's my grievance.
Speaker 7 (24:24):
In twenty twenty six, I want to see a more
perturbed tale that I can be perturbed with. Nice guy Mint.
Speaker 11 (24:31):
And I.
Speaker 3 (24:33):
Get five back in SA was that was?
Speaker 4 (24:37):
That is?
Speaker 11 (24:42):
Your piece?
Speaker 16 (24:43):
Removed?
Speaker 4 (24:46):
Thought him in four Jamie, I don't know what the
hell you're singing.
Speaker 6 (24:51):
I'm singing and I'll listen.
Speaker 2 (24:52):
Okay, no, oh, so satisfying. That was so one Yesterday, Kyle,
you got ten seconds on your emotional state yesterday after
being exposed like that in your commercial break behavior.
Speaker 6 (25:13):
Yeah, I just ripped that of earphone out of my ear.
I just I could not.
Speaker 4 (25:17):
It was like, I feel like I kind of wanted
to be caught, and I certainly was, And then we
didn't show at all. When we've lent that back yesterday,
I laughed for like a minute straight.
Speaker 6 (25:24):
That was so funny.
Speaker 16 (25:25):
It's a great job, all right.
Speaker 2 (25:28):
So in the spirit of grievances, Manta, you must have
one for the NFL season. I'm looking at your board
right now. I'm looking forward to this explanation grievance for
the twenty twenty five NFL season, Manti, Mike g.
Speaker 9 (25:40):
Kyle by Tire First, Okay, So my agrievance with the
NFL is this. When I played for the Chargers, we
only had probably like two different jersey combinations.
Speaker 10 (25:47):
And now what they got is like a whole.
Speaker 9 (25:49):
They got the powder Blues, they got those all yellow
curious George Ones.
Speaker 10 (25:54):
I hope we never wear again.
Speaker 9 (25:55):
They got the all Navy you have the Patriots, They
have the rivalry jerseys.
Speaker 10 (26:00):
The Saints got the white helmets now that they go
well with the all white UNI forms.
Speaker 9 (26:04):
You got the Pats and those crazy Where was all
of this when I played?
Speaker 10 (26:08):
Like, where was all of the nice little combos? Like
they can all wear one colored sock. Now.
Speaker 9 (26:14):
Back in the day, you got to wear the half
and half and there had to be a certain amount
of blue in my saw and then white because if
there wasn't then you'd get a fine. Now you could
just wear one solid color in the sock. So my
grievance might g against the NFL is these jerseys nowadays
they're sick. I just wish that.
Speaker 10 (26:30):
I was able to wear some of those. So that's
my grievance.
Speaker 7 (26:33):
I saw Philip Rivers in an alternate uniform the other day. Man,
it's all I'm saying, But we'll get the seat. We'll
keep the seat warm for you.
Speaker 10 (26:41):
It's up to you.
Speaker 7 (26:43):
I am going to now Lix and this is not
a second guess. The touch push the centers they heard
from me back in the spring when they were talking
about the possibility of the NFL owners discussing the possibility
of banning the play. It was a safety issue. Then
it was hard to officiate as we got into the season.
No listen, just here you guys talk about Seinfeld. There's
(27:06):
a scene where the dry cleaner shrinks the shirt and
Jerry says, I don't even care about the shirt. I
just want to hear, for one time a dry cleaner
take responsibility and tell me you shrunk it. The guy goes,
I shrunk it, right. So all I want to hear
is that you wanted to ban the play because one
team was better at it than anybody else. And frankly,
(27:26):
at this point, I think you're going to a cock
to it because there's been fumbles, there's been flags for
false starts over the last couple of weeks. The NFL
is cyclical, and nothing that is overly effective lasts for
too long because coaches, personnel, guys, folks in the front,
they're too good. They figure it out. Eventually. You don't
(27:49):
have to ban the play. Just give it time. And
as Jeff, I'm another reference here, Jeff go boom and
Jurassic Park. Life finds a way. It's being stopped, penalties
are being thrown. No reason to ban it, Kyle, the dissenters.
Speaker 6 (28:03):
I droppings droppings you do eventually plan to have some
toush push.
Speaker 11 (28:09):
On your all.
Speaker 7 (28:10):
Right, here we go big PILEA.
Speaker 4 (28:12):
Yes, that's one big pilot chaos theory, which could relate
to the Eples as well. For me, this one is
going to be talking about the young kids. We're talking
about technology. My grievance is against wired headphone hate.
Speaker 6 (28:26):
What do you mean by that?
Speaker 4 (28:28):
Wired headphones are showing up everywhere now and I support
it and I like it, and I'm pushing back against
anyone that would laugh. And I've done it myself. Wired headphones?
What is this the two thousand and tens? Why aren't
you having your pods? And well, apparently they're back, and
apparently they're cool. Caleb himself wears them all the time because.
Speaker 6 (28:49):
You know what, screw these things. They're frustrating as hell.
You lose them, You lose them all the time.
Speaker 4 (28:55):
And I know that there was a meeting for the
overlords at Apple when they introduced these, and it was
Tim Cooks and Tim cook and the late Steve Jobs.
Speaker 6 (29:02):
That's we kind of set the groundwork for it.
Speaker 4 (29:03):
And probably someone put their hand up and they're like,
but won't everyone who buys them just lose them, and
they're like, first of all, you're fired, get them out
of here.
Speaker 6 (29:13):
And second of all, some carts they're willing to know,
buy more. I can't never mind losing the little pod.
Speaker 4 (29:19):
I lose the dumb little suitcase all the time, constantly.
Speaker 6 (29:23):
And then I'm kind of married to the idea. So
I wired headphones are back. I'm into it, bring them back.
And you know what, in my conversation with Caleb a
couple of weeks ago, he was passionate about wired headphones.
Listen to this.
Speaker 17 (29:34):
The wired headphones is more for my brain. So I'm
not having bluetooth and things like that going, you know,
sending sending wavelings to my.
Speaker 7 (29:43):
Brain and things like that, so sacred.
Speaker 17 (29:44):
Yeah, it's yeah, need to have a good brain for
for my life and for my job and things like that.
Speaker 7 (29:50):
And so that's for the wires.
Speaker 6 (29:53):
He needs to have a good brain for his life
and for his job.
Speaker 4 (29:55):
Now, I don't necessarily subscribe to the bluetooths are like
rotting our brains from inside out. But if it leads
to more wired headphones, god bless them. They fish hooked
us all with these things, and we're just lemmons and
suckers and SAPs, and we keep buying them and using
them and losing them and buying them again.
Speaker 6 (30:10):
I'm over it. Wired headphones come on.
Speaker 2 (30:11):
Back, Yeah, And if one falls out at that Apple
meeting that they're like and then everything will just stop
playing and then you bobble it and then it falls
on the ground. Then you got to shove it back
in your ear. It's just like in hindsight, it just
does sound like a terrible idea. A'll hail the wired headphones,
all right. Moving on Christmas movies. 'tis the season? Kyle,
I think does like a movie a night with his
(30:32):
kids leading up in the month of December, and it's
always some of the classics. And you watched it Go
All the Way last night, which is Minnesota A fantastic Kyle.
Speaker 3 (30:39):
It's a good selection.
Speaker 2 (30:41):
You must have a best Christmas movie performance of all time?
Speaker 3 (30:44):
Anti and what I do?
Speaker 11 (30:45):
I do?
Speaker 9 (30:46):
Now follow me on this a little bit, all right,
So Home Alone is probably my favorite Christmas movie. Now,
when I mentioned Home Alone, you probably think you know
Macaulay Culkin, but I gonna say Daniel Stern. Daniel Stern
was Marv in that. Yeah, and I think that Daniel
Stern was my most favorite person in that whole thing.
And if you don't understand the movie, you'd understand that
(31:08):
these are some of the things that he got hit with.
Speaker 10 (31:10):
There's an iron, there's a brick.
Speaker 9 (31:12):
That brick scene where there mcaulay cochin is just throwing
it over.
Speaker 10 (31:17):
That is the scream when he has a.
Speaker 9 (31:20):
Tarantula on him going down the stairs. This is Daniel Stern.
That guy really made the movie for me. He's probably
the only reason why I watched that thing on repeat
because he's just hilarious. Everybody asked me, what is your
favorite type of humor? That's my favorite type of humor
home alone Daniel Stern.
Speaker 4 (31:35):
All right, little thing about a little thing about Daniel Stern,
who I always used to call David Stern rest in
piece different that people completely fun. Little nugget about that.
So Daniel Stern was terrified of the tarantula.
Speaker 6 (31:47):
He is not cool with that. He did not want
tarantulas on his face.
Speaker 4 (31:51):
But the director, Chris Columbus said, all right, we have
to put this tarantula on your face, and it's not
gonna be a fake when we want a real one.
And I want you to scream as loud as possible.
The tarantula wrangler said, why wouldn't do that? If you scream,
the tarantula may react and then he's likely to lash
out and maybe attack and dances.
Speaker 6 (32:12):
It's like, what the how am I supposed to do?
So in the scene where Kevin puts the.
Speaker 4 (32:16):
Tarantula on Marv's face, Daniel Stern is actually not screaming.
He's pretending to scream, but he's actually completely silent.
Speaker 6 (32:24):
And then they added the scream.
Speaker 4 (32:26):
Later because if you screamed, the tarantula would have bit
him in the face.
Speaker 6 (32:29):
That's a true story.
Speaker 10 (32:31):
Wow.
Speaker 7 (32:33):
Wow, you gotta imagine. Yeah, you gotta imagine. If you're
an A list actor, you go. And that's why we
have stunt doubles, Like what are we doing here?
Speaker 3 (32:43):
The real face.
Speaker 6 (32:45):
It's a great shot of the face with the spider.
Speaker 7 (32:47):
You gotta have it, I know, Yeah, I mean, I
mean these days, we've got enough AI technology that they
would have just.
Speaker 6 (32:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 12 (32:55):
True.
Speaker 7 (32:56):
Yeah, back to the age of wired headphones that were
huge on top of your head.
Speaker 10 (33:02):
I'm gonna go.
Speaker 7 (33:03):
If you haven't seen this one, you got to check
it out quickly because Christmas is coming. Carol Kane in Scrooge,
who plays the ghost of Christmas Present. She is unbelievable
in this going up against Bill Murray. Listen, Bobcat Goldswaite
is a close second in this movie. I Love Scrooge
is one of my favorite Christmas movies. I know it's
not traditionally on the top five or top ten for
most folks, but she's the way she goes after Bill
(33:25):
Murray and the way that they play each other. It's
the ghost of Christmas Present in a way that you've
never seen before. I'll fix your mouth so it won't
hold soup. That's a great line right there. Oh, and
then the toaster where she goes, what's this break, It's
a toaster and she hits them right in the face.
It's great. You gotta check her out.
Speaker 6 (33:41):
I know exactly what you're talking about.
Speaker 4 (33:42):
It becomes this slapstick violence in the middle of the movie,
and it's really funny, and she's going toe to toe
for Bill Murray. Guys, and I just have a confession
to make. I just tweeted in the middle of the segment.
I'm here in my basement, I've got a computer on,
I'm doing the show, but I'm also setting a Christmas vibe,
like right behind my computer, I've got a TV and
(34:02):
I'm watching a Christmas story by Ralphie and.
Speaker 6 (34:05):
The Biggy Store. I got on the baby gun.
Speaker 4 (34:07):
I've got it on mute, so I got all kinds
of things. Now, Evelyn, my daughter, just joined me down here.
And my favorite performance from any Christmas movie is from
an actor named zach Ward.
Speaker 6 (34:16):
Now who is zach Ward?
Speaker 11 (34:17):
I don't know.
Speaker 6 (34:17):
I've never heard of him. Dak Ward is.
Speaker 4 (34:19):
Scott Farcas, Not Scott Scott, the yellow tooth, red haired
with the coonskin cap as they called it back then,
playing the bully.
Speaker 6 (34:31):
And listen, look at that face. That is a.
Speaker 4 (34:33):
Performance of a child actor. You want to give all
the attention to my Pauley Culkin. You want to give
it to Peter Billinsley, who plays Ralphie. I still now
as an adult, and I'm watching that child and I
want to punch that child. That's how strong that I
feel about Scott Farcas. An awful, awful, wretched face, grimace,
basal expression, Oh you're gonna cry, now, shut up, Scott Farcas,
(34:57):
I'll still punch you through the screen.
Speaker 6 (34:59):
And then he gets what's coming to him.
Speaker 4 (35:00):
When Ralphie just goes completely postal and does a full
ground and poly, he's Andre or Lobsky or something in
the middle of the octagon, just pounding him out. He
gets what he deserves. And I love Scott Parkers. Shout
out to Zach Ward all these years later. Great performance, Bud.
Speaker 2 (35:14):
Scott Farcas Joy of the season.
Speaker 3 (35:16):
That was Whiteboard Wednesday.
Speaker 2 (35:17):
Everybody, Merry Christmas Eve from GMFB. Play this around the
table today, send us your photos on social we'll get
a little Whiteboard Wednesday action going.
Speaker 16 (35:36):
Good Morning Football.
Speaker 2 (35:38):
There's a couple of things that are just inherently Minnesota.
Caribou coffee, the Mall of America and CJ.
Speaker 3 (35:44):
Hamm, the friend of our show. He's a Minnesota man,
and he's a Minnesota.
Speaker 2 (35:48):
Viking, and he's the Walter Payton sanity or nominee for
the Vikings.
Speaker 3 (35:51):
What's up, CJ?
Speaker 11 (35:51):
What's going on? Appreciate you having me on.
Speaker 3 (35:53):
We love to see you.
Speaker 7 (35:54):
Know.
Speaker 9 (35:54):
The last time I was in person with this guy
who was going head to head meeting.
Speaker 3 (35:58):
At mid Field, Yeah.
Speaker 10 (35:59):
Meeting at mid Midfield. He had like a couple of
runs on us on some show we were just talking.
Speaker 9 (36:06):
Yardage that we were lucky to get this guy down.
But those are some good times. We went back to
memory lane.
Speaker 3 (36:11):
How's your body feeling this time of year.
Speaker 10 (36:12):
It's good, It's good.
Speaker 12 (36:14):
I mean, it's good as good as it can be,
right right, right, But we're making it tomorrow, you know,
tomorrow Christmas it's happening.
Speaker 2 (36:22):
So Lions are in town Christmas Day special. You guys
are the second of three games on the NFL. You
you could play grinch for the Detroit Lions. Is that
something that is being talked about in the locker room?
Where is the pride point happening with with a game
like this Lion's bankings.
Speaker 12 (36:39):
Yeah, I mean, at the end of the day, we're
trying to win every single game we go out there
and play. Yeah, you know, whatever whatever stipulations are, it
is what it is. But go out there fantasy season,
strong play, you know, play our brand of football. And
it happens to be against the Detroit Lions. You know,
a divisional team that has you know, had our number
over the years, and I'm sure they're eager to try
(37:01):
to get that link back from earlier this year too.
Speaker 9 (37:04):
So yeah, one of the realities about being a professional
athlete is you do play on certain holidays. Now, for
a father like yourself, sometimes Santa comes a day early,
sometimes Santa comes a day later.
Speaker 10 (37:14):
It's a he gets a pick wherever he comes on
on Rudolph.
Speaker 9 (37:18):
But after the game, bro, do you celebrate with a
big meal with the family?
Speaker 10 (37:23):
Do you watch a holiday movie? What is that looking
like for for your household?
Speaker 12 (37:26):
I mean usually for us, it's right after the game.
We'll go and make reservations somewhere on the way home,
and uh, you know everybody that everybody that I had
at the game will come come and break bed with
us and we'll just enjoyed Enjordi evening.
Speaker 10 (37:39):
That's a little flex right there.
Speaker 3 (37:40):
Yeah yeah, break bright with all the people.
Speaker 6 (37:42):
Yeah yeah yeah.
Speaker 3 (37:45):
CJ.
Speaker 2 (37:45):
You've done so many wonderful things in your time with
the Vikings. Congratulations on your second year being the the
nominee for the word mayor for the organization.
Speaker 3 (37:53):
The events that you throw with your with your charity
are so wonderful.
Speaker 2 (37:56):
Can you just tell people that might not be familiar
with them, like what you're about?
Speaker 3 (38:00):

Let me ask you this question.
Speaker 2 (39:07):
So you know, we in the summer we always see
how electric tight end University can get. Have you ever
considered throwing like a full back fair or a full
back festival or something where you get all the fullbacks
and trained together.
Speaker 12 (39:20):
I've been asked this question many times. Yeah, yeah, and
I know there there probably wouldn't be as many of
us there, but it.
Speaker 11 (39:28):
Would be a great time.
Speaker 12 (39:29):
I mean that the full back brotherhood is real and strong,
and you know there's there's some great guys out there.
Speaker 2 (39:35):
We would you guys would break bread a full back festival.
I wonder where you hold it in fair Bow, Minnesota
or something.

Speaker 2 (39:57):
Walter Payton, NFL Man of the Yar nominee for the
Vikings Coograssy, thank you.
Speaker 3 (40:02):
It's time for What's your Beats? Presented by Old Trapper.
Speaker 6 (40:06):
Welcome to Good Morning Football.
Speaker 4 (40:07):
We're doing it at home on Christmas Eve and I'm
one of the people who really believes the Christmas Eve
is superior to Christmas Day, just because of all the anticipation,
the excitement. And I love Christmas Eve toy assembly or
putting things together and putting batteries in all that type
of stuff.
Speaker 6 (40:21):
There is one thing that really bothers me, and this.
Speaker 4 (40:23):
Is deep in the minutia of toy assembly, and it
is the devil that is known.
Speaker 6 (40:27):
As decals dcals.
Speaker 4 (40:30):
Whether you have a go kart or a Lego set,
decals are these tiny little wish speed stickers that you
have to place precisely right, just on the right spot
to give more magic to the toy. They stick to
your fingers sometimes, or even worse, they stick to themselves
and you cannot unstick them, or you stick them and
(40:51):
they're slightly crooked, or there's a little devil known as
air bubbles within the decal that you can't smooth out
no matter what you do. Decals are the open heart
surgery of toy assembly. They are the perfect touch pass
dropped in bit in two safeties. They're almost impossible to land.
And yet I know I'll be doing some tonight, and
I bet I'm not alone decals a worthy adversary on
(41:13):
Christmas Eve, but someone attended me a lot of losses
over the years.
Speaker 2 (41:17):
Yeah, and then Kyle, you think you have it perfect right,
you lay that detail down and decal down, and then
as you get to the end, it goes up and
over the ridge where it wasn't supposed to be, Like
there was the perfect groove. You tried to do the
parallel park of the decal and it just didn't stick
the landing. It's so infuriating.
Speaker 3 (41:34):
I hear you. The devil is in the decal. I
see a new.
Speaker 9 (41:37):
Christmas round, or when you're trying to hold it over
whatever objects you're trying to put it on in one
corner just falls and it gets stuck, and then you
got to keep taking the company on and then another
one gets stuck in by the time that you got
it right, that he said on the back of that
decal has already gone and it just falls off whatever
you're time to put it on.
Speaker 10 (41:53):
That's yeah, decals they suck.
Speaker 7 (41:54):
I don't know. To me. Last year I did my
my Barbie dream house, my daughter's Barbie dreamouse.
Speaker 6 (42:02):
I nailed it.
Speaker 7 (42:03):
I maybe a I might realize it until you're we're
gonna have.
Speaker 6 (42:08):
To go upstairs.
Speaker 7 (42:09):
I'm gonna have to take you via my phone by
and we're gonna have to take a tour of the
Barbie dream House.
Speaker 16 (42:14):
Ready to go.
Speaker 7 (42:15):
Look at this, I don't even tell the markettrol room
is the best. To Merry Christmas. And to all you
guys there, uh you go upstanding to shrry the Barbie
dream House.
Speaker 6 (42:22):
Do it in the expanded Barbie Universe. There's a lot
of decals.
Speaker 4 (42:25):
And you know what sucks, guys, is when you place
the decal and you mess it up, then you try
to peel it off for another shot at it, and
then it has lost you.
Speaker 6 (42:34):
This way big, he said.
Speaker 4 (42:35):
It, because this. Look at that's a beautiful house there, Mike.
That's that thing's on Zillow. Look at that amazing that's not.
Speaker 6 (42:43):
Decals.
Speaker 2 (42:43):
That makes one of us stunning.
Speaker 3 (42:46):
Merry Christmas Eve, everybody.
Speaker 2 (42:48):
Good luck playing Tetris with the Christmas gifts tonight.
