this segment goes.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
We are going to talk some jets because there is

more fun stuff.

Welcome to Good Morning Football presented by Old Trapper.
Speaker 6 (01:05):
What's up everybody?
Speaker 3 (01:06):
JIMTB on a Wednesday.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
Sometimes you know, the mic just stays open long enough
to peak the curiosity. Jamie Man's, I'm Mike g and
Kyle Brandt. What are you two chuckling about there in
New York City. Come on, let us in, let the
listener in behind the wall.
Speaker 5 (01:19):
I heard of the show, Jamie.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
Now, what has been two things that Mike and I've
gotten fired up by this morning. One is the fact
that one of us I'm not going to say who
has to go has to gets to go to a
Halloween party this weekend, in which scene he requires a costume.
Speaker 3 (01:32):
And when you're in your forties, it's like being waterboarded.
It's like it's the worst thing of all time. Go ahead, Mike.
Speaker 7 (01:39):
The last time I got dressed up was probably twelve
to thirteen years ago, and I said, what's the closest
thing to me? So I went as Tony Parker. I
bought myself a Tony.
Speaker 3 (01:50):
Yeah, I can see that.
Speaker 5 (01:50):
Yeah, that's the guy I used to get.
Speaker 3 (01:52):
Yeah, Eva Longoria, that's what Longoria.
Speaker 5 (01:55):
But they didn't wear a way Wait, she was blonde.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
I'm like, oh, you didn't like trying that's not yeah anyway,
that's what we're talking about.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
Normally, we have a very easy segment where you get
to get some things off your trust. But Kyle has
already made mention too many times.
Speaker 6 (02:08):
How much.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
He despises Halloween parties getting the infuny having right there
was them interacting with humans. No, just the Halloween party.
Judy Batista and I and Rappaport are at the NFL
Fall League meeting. Guys, if you want to have a
take on Mike gb Tony Parker or the toush push, Judy,
go ahead, what have you.
Speaker 8 (02:26):
He also looks like the soccer coach, right, yeah, he
said that, Like, that's exactly who I think Mike looks like.
Speaker 4 (02:32):
Okay, I mean that's a little to us.
Speaker 6 (02:37):
You knew that.
Speaker 9 (02:39):
I don't understand this just occurred to you. I thought
we talked about opening your brains, not shutting your brains.
Speaker 4 (02:45):
Oh man, all right, we're going to get to work now.
Speaker 8 (02:48):
Okay, So we will hear from a commissioner, Roger Goodell
in a few hours here to wrap up this meeting.
But something really interesting that came up yesterday was the
touch push, because that's all we talk.
Speaker 4 (02:58):
About basically in the NFL.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
We talked to.
Speaker 8 (03:00):
Football operations executives yesterday and Troy fin since said they
are having trouble officiating the tousch push.
Speaker 6 (03:08):
This has been an.
Speaker 8 (03:08):
Issue all season. Are the Eagles jumping before they should
be jumping, and he admitted a line judge, that's the
judge that would be responsible for calling it, has trouble
seeing if they are moving before the snap, and he
said they are trying to.
Speaker 6 (03:25):
Get better at it.
Speaker 8 (03:25):
But look, we know that the league try to get
rid of this play in the off season last year
they talked about the health and safety issues, the concerns
about it, and certainly you would expect that as this
goes forward, and we expect this to come up again
in the off season, whether they want the toush push
to remain in the game. You would think Ian that
their issues with officiating, the fact that they are having
(03:48):
a tough time officiating it properly is going to enter
the conversation.
Speaker 9 (03:52):
Yeah, the NFL really has gone round and round on
the toush push. You're right, still a topic of conversations still.
As they mentioned, actually one team that does it pretty well.
That would be the Eagles. A bunch of other teams
that try to do it and just to be real,
don't do it quite as well. But there are i
mean several facets of like, here's why we should outlaw
It's not really a football player. That is my stand.
(04:12):
Scare Phone knows that and has argued with me on
many many days on the Insiders about this. There was
the health and safety issue, which didnt seem like it's
there's really been any big injuries there, although certainly a
fact a couple scares and obviously the fear of it.
And then it's hard to officiate part of it, which
is sort of the newest and also the oldest because
that's kind of how this started. I don't know where
(04:34):
it goes from here, but it continues to be a
topic of conversation, continues to be something where they are
weighing doing away, and at some point, Judy, you have
to just think like maybe enough is enough and they outlawed,
but that decision is not going to probably come.
Speaker 6 (04:49):
Until the spring.
Speaker 8 (04:50):
Right last offseason they dealt with it, Remember they got
very close to removing it last year in a matter
of weeks. They swung a whole lot of votes against
the Tush push, certainly, and that was on health and
safety ramification that they were concerned about. So certainly, if
they revisited in the off season, as we fully expect
that they will do, you would think they will really
(05:12):
lean into trying to get the play out of the game. Certainly,
the Eagles are not going to like it. The Eagles
are outstanding and executing it. But the league and the
other owners have a whole lot of concerns about the play, Jamie, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
They do, and everyone's got an opinion now about it.
It's emerged with some ferocity. Thanks Judy, Thanks Ian, It's
time to go three and out on GMFB. First down.
After hearing from our insiders, just now, man Sai, where
do you stand on the toush push and the nature
of the.
Speaker 10 (05:42):
Beasts Well, as far as the play is concerned, I
don't have an issue to fit.
Speaker 6 (05:46):
The only issue they covered it a little bit Judy.
Speaker 10 (05:48):
And rap Sheet is the encroachment like that's something that
I don't know how they try to remedy the remedy that.
The only way that I can think about it is
if it's reviewable. And the last time that we reviewed
penalties was pass interference penalties and twin in nineteen. But
I don't know if you just throw the flag and
just repeat, I just don't know. I the only this
(06:10):
advantage to that is they get a jump start on
their movements. Other than that the play itself, I don't
is it a football play?
Speaker 6 (06:19):
Is it not a football play?
Speaker 10 (06:21):
I don't really have an opinion on that because it's.
Speaker 6 (06:23):
Not a rugby play.
Speaker 3 (06:25):
I played rugby as well.
Speaker 6 (06:26):
It's not a rugby play.
Speaker 10 (06:27):
But if they can figure out a way to remedy
this whole encroachment and off side sting, I think it
stays in the game.
Speaker 5 (06:36):
It drives me crazy, go on what I speak to
hear this.
Speaker 7 (06:40):
It started as it's tough to officiate, then it went
to it's not a.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
Football play, it doesn't look like a football.
Speaker 7 (06:47):
Then it became the health thing. I mean, we've talked
injury concern that injury. Now we're back to it's hard
to officiate. And I think by the spring it'll be
the Chappelle Show Pop copy segment. If you haven't seen
that one before, go check it out.
Speaker 5 (07:03):
And he says, why because bleep them. That's why. That's why.
Speaker 7 (07:08):
I think that's where we're And you know what, if
we just got there and we just landed there, I
think I'd just be happier with the whole process and
be like, well, at least you're admitting it at this.
Speaker 5 (07:18):
Point, because I'll hear this stuff.
Speaker 7 (07:19):
The health there is no there's been no Internet. Health
and safety doesn't look like a football player. Can think
of a other football players. It's tough to officiate. Blah
blah blah blah. I did ask Troy Vince yesterday because
he said it's hard from the sideline for the officials,
who ordinarily on a regular play would see that interior
alignment before the snap. They can't see it because they're
so far away. I said, what if you move them in?
(07:40):
He said, well, we can't do that because even if
they're in that formation doesn't mean they're necessarily going to run.
Speaker 5 (07:44):
They could run something else.
Speaker 6 (07:45):
We run it already.
Speaker 5 (07:46):
So that's the hard to officiate part.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
But should the officials have like binoculars or something like this?
Speaker 3 (07:53):
Stand there, bring them closer?
Speaker 5 (07:55):
I mentioned this on air last night.
Speaker 7 (07:56):
Rappaport goes, as I'm saying, it interrupts me, kind of
like I'm doing to you now. Sorry, suspend the referee
over the line of scrimmag like silay, like oh, like.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
The Falcons mascot that comes down for the state, like
lady ka.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
All right, I'll be very quick.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
I've said this, Jame, you know, for well, I think
all the ammunition against the Toush push I think is nonsense.
I do like it as a football play. I think
it's you push, we push, you can push harder. I
don't think it's an injured concern, and I resent that
they throw that around to try to get attention because
I don't think it is one. But it's gone where
I can't follow, where they're committing a blatant penalty, the
false starting thing that is a penalty.
Speaker 3 (08:34):
You can't do that.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
And you see these super slow motion replays or you
see screen caps where the Eagles helmet is way in
front of the ball from the right guard or left guard.
Speaker 3 (08:44):
You can't as a referee. I don't care how old you.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
Are, how far are you It happens too quickly in
real time. You can't say, well, well they false started.
You don't even know for sure. So the fact that
they're committing a bona fide, unarguable penalty when they do
it most of the time.
Speaker 3 (08:58):
I think it's gone where I can't follow.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
And I hate to say that because I've been rocking
for the Toush push, But you can't commit penalties.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
It's just that's not the way the league works.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
Well, we'll see how this thing wraps up once again
in the league meeting next spring when it's the annual
league meeting for the NFL. Until then, more juicy headlines
come out for second down on GMFB of three and out.
Jets owner Woody Johnson was asked his thoughts on his
team's zero to seven start, and he was not try
expressing his opinion.
Speaker 11 (09:26):
Well, the record speaks for itself. Yeah, but I don't
go to any game thinking I'm gonna lose, so I'm
hopeful every Sunday. I just think defense, special teams are
doing better. Defense is pretty good. But we can just
complete a pass, it would look good. You know, we
(09:46):
got to complete some paths. You got to convince him
that you could do something. Otherwise it's hard to have,
you know, have a game that you can win.
Speaker 12 (09:56):
You know, it's hard when you have a quarterback with
you know, okay, with a rating that you know we got,
you know, I mean, hadge the ability, but something just
is not driving. But if you look at any any
head coach at a quarterback like that, you're going to
see similar results.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
I mean, he just quadrupled down on that take on
justin Fields and he tried to come back out of
it a little bit by saying, well, he's the ability,
it's just not driving Manti. Please translate in your mind.
Woody Johnson's take on Justin Field's play.
Speaker 10 (10:25):
Well, I'll say what I see in Justin fields play.
I think oftentimes a reluctance to make a mistake in
pursuit of trying to be perfect results in you not
really making movement at all. That's what I see at
Justin Fields. He's constantly waiting for the perfect scenario to
throw the ball. There's man coverage, whatever the whatever the
relationship with the dB to his receivers are. He's waiting
(10:47):
for those perfect moments and it sometimes most times it
just takes too long and he gets sacked or he
gets rushed or pressured. I can't fall with you on
this because the entire.
Speaker 6 (11:00):
Team, the run game is looking really good. Yeah, Garrett Wilson,
who's one of.
Speaker 10 (11:03):
The premier receiver in the game, and you have a
defense that is that that comes up with big stops.
But your quarterback, I see a quarterback that's just frozen.
He's he's trying to analyze things and trying to wait
for the perfect moment. And just luck in life, you
wait for the perfect moment, there is none and you
just stuck in the same place.
Speaker 7 (11:20):
Marchie Whatdy Johnson usually shows up to these events and
games in a Jets hat.
Speaker 5 (11:24):
He was wearing a Crystal Palace hat.
Speaker 7 (11:26):
He actually said at one point that the fans are
true Blue, and then he had to correct himself to Green.
Speaker 5 (11:31):
I think there may have been a little bit of
a hidden message there. I don't know.
Speaker 7 (11:34):
I'm supposedly going to Pep Guardiola now to a Halloween
party that I should probably catch up on. My soccer
is Crystal Palace probably better than the Jets are doing
right now? He did Jamie walk through the lobby again
after the meeting was done yesterday and.
Speaker 5 (11:49):
Judy talked to him.
Speaker 7 (11:50):
Judy Patista talked him for like twenty minutes, and he
didn't walk anything back, and he's like, you know, I'm right,
So it was definitely calculated.
Speaker 5 (11:57):
He didn't take it back.
Speaker 7 (11:58):
He didn't say, hey, I was taken out of context
or anything like that. He meant to say what he
meant to say. I just don't know how that flies now.
In the locker room, like you know, you walk in,
you justin Field's like, dude, you hear the boss like
not great.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
One of the things I respect the most about Justin Fields,
and we've seen this going back to Chicago. He keeps
his head down and his mouth shut. He is not
someone who pops off. He doesn't criticize teammates. He hasn't
had much success winning, but I really at least respect
how he goes about his business. Part of me, in
this instance wishes that it was not the case. Because
if you are Justin Fields and you're fighting, and you're
(12:32):
doing your best, and you have this bad team, this
bad situation, then you have to hear this. Maybe you
might retort with something about like what did you expect
from me? What did you think you were getting? I'm
a sixty one percent passer. I've shown this for years.
Do you think I was Steve Young? Like I'm Justin Fields?
Mike Tomlin sat me down for Russell Wilson. What did
you you paid me forty million bucks to get here?
(12:53):
And while we're on the topic, sir, is it possible
that maybe is not me? And there's so many organizational
things going on, because if you want to complete a
pass a couple of years ago, you brought in probably
the most accurate passer in NFL history, and he flopped
and fell on his face.
Speaker 3 (13:09):
Last year, let's go back even further.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
You had the number two overall pick in the draft,
this dimple faced kid with a live arm.
Speaker 3 (13:18):
He fell on his face in this building. Then you
had the number three.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
Pick in the draft, a guy at a USC who's
gone on to have great success with other organizations, and
he fell on his face in this building.
Speaker 3 (13:30):
So maybe it is something to do with the building.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
To respect your building, sir, and maybe not me running
around trying to make plays on behalf of your building.
That's what I might say if I was justin fields,
but he.
Speaker 3 (13:41):
Probably will not.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
He is a different type of guy, That's what I
would say.
Speaker 8 (13:45):
Though.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
If you look at the transcript on Kyle's last take,
I'm pretty sure he led with I'm going to keep
this short, which is essentially what Wody Johnson tried to do,
and he led Kyle was I was a good long
run on the history of the Jets quarterbacking in the
last ten years, and you're like, no, no, no, I'm
just going to keep this brief.
Speaker 3 (14:01):
Well done.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
Third down in November of last year, Daniel Jones, after
having played a game in Germany, after having received an
angry run scepter, was released by the New York Giants
in a highly publicized move. Then in March, he signed
with the Colts after a week long stint with the
Minnesota Vikings. And now he's under center for Indianapolis, the
NFL's highest scoring offense. He looks great and he's out
(14:24):
there talking to his bleak for his team.
Speaker 3 (14:26):
Catch this moment.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
In postgame interview with CBS's Evan Washburn, and Daniel Jones
had this to say about some doubters.
Speaker 13 (14:33):
Not that you care, but those of us in the outside,
I think are a little surprised just how well this.
Speaker 6 (14:38):
Team is playing to start the season.
Speaker 13 (14:40):
What do we need to know about this group that
maybe we didn't know going into the year.
Speaker 4 (14:46):
I mean, I don't know. It sounds like sounds like
YA didn't know much.
Speaker 5 (14:51):
It's a feel good story.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
You who took a lot of heat from the fans
in the New York and the media market for the Giants.
So I ask you guys this, do you have a
favorite comeback story from any professional player in any sports ever?
Speaker 3 (15:04):
Mansai?
Speaker 2 (15:05):
Some people might say Daniel Jones, what's yours?
Speaker 10 (15:07):
Well, one of my favorite athletes of all time in
resting pieces, Kobe Bryant, and in his last game at
thirty seven year old old dropped sixty points against the
Utah Jazz to bring them back after being down double digits.
So we had a segment on if if I could
tell the youth about somebody. I mean, this is somebody
who had a tremendous impact on me, and the Mama
mentality is something that I tried to live by. He
(15:29):
wasn't perfect, but everything that he embodied as a competitor,
I try to embody in my game. And I thought
that the game that he had against a Utah Jazz
twenty years in the league, helping them to win one
hundred one on one to ninety six and his last
final game and ending it with Mamba out, that would
be the comeback story for me.
Speaker 6 (15:48):
Jack.
Speaker 7 (15:49):
I remember in nineteen ninety four over Brian Fry's house,
my friend he had access to pay per view put
it to you that way. I think the Statute of
Limitations is up on that, so I'll out him publicly.
But we watched the George Foreman Michael Moore fight.
Speaker 3 (16:02):
Oh it's great one.
Speaker 7 (16:03):
Forty five years old for George Foreman coming back to
win the heavyweight chit. I still don't understand how that
punched there. I'm watching it right now.
Speaker 3 (16:10):
As a matter of.
Speaker 5 (16:10):
Fact, resulted in that knockout.
Speaker 7 (16:12):
I've had some boxing experts explained to me why it
was more devastating than it looked. Fine whatever, I actually
look this up this morning. I thought he was a
bigger underdog. It's only like a two to one underdog
in this one.
Speaker 5 (16:22):
But do you know how.
Speaker 7 (16:23):
Many grills my man sold that night for you, George Foreman.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
George Foreman reached a point in his career when he
would enter the ring to Hakuna Matata because his children
liked the song. So he was this big scary boxer,
but he was saying it means no worries, wonderful phrase.
It was a shock and awe when he dropped Michael
Moore and Michael Moore who had beaten Evander Holyfield for
the belt to nobody beat holy Field back in the day.
Speaker 3 (16:45):
Mine is Jamie. Admittedly a little more of an.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
Inspirational story than a comeback, but it's certainly a comeback
from a card that life deals you I wish the
young people knew about Jim Abbott. Jim Abbot was a
pitcher in the major leagues. He won eighty some games,
played mostly for the Angels and the Yankees. One catch.
He didn't have a hand is right hand. He was
born without it. It's in a ridiculous, really cool story.
(17:09):
He was a left handed pitcher with one hand. He
threw a no hitter, a no hitter in the big
leagues in which he had this incredible style war he
had the ball in his hand, he would put his
glove on the remnants of his forearm, on his right appendage,
and then throw the ball and transfer the glove onto
the forearm. Teams would back in the day they'd be
crucified for this, but back in the day they would
(17:30):
deliberately bunt against Maddox or against Abbott to try to
get the ball to get on base, and he would
switch the glove back and forth and throw it.
Speaker 3 (17:38):
Incredible thing that he'd even made it to the majors.
He won.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
He threw up perfect games and really really cool thing,
no hand, lefty heat, all kinds of talent, and he
did it in spite of that. Now does motivational speaking
it's amazing.
Speaker 3 (17:50):
Imagine that.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
I mean, it's not a basketball player with one hand,
but it's not not bad.
Speaker 3 (17:54):
It's really really close. And I just still wish more
people knew that story.
Speaker 7 (17:57):
I think about Jim Abbott damn near every single day.
Speaker 3 (17:59):
Is that right?
Speaker 6 (18:00):
You want to know why?
Speaker 3 (18:00):
Yeah, you have a phone number.
Speaker 5 (18:02):
First name in the phone book O A B B
A B B.
Speaker 3 (18:05):
You always see him.
Speaker 5 (18:06):
I always seem Mabbit.
Speaker 6 (18:07):
Now.
Speaker 7 (18:07):
The reason of mine my contact is I wrote a
story for NFL dot com go check it out on
Shaquem Griffin when he was in the draft process, and
I spoke to Jim Abbott about that, the fact that
he was I don't know if he had spoken him
at that point we planned to, but he was definitely
rooting for Shaquem Griffin given that they both had the
same issue playing professional sports with no hand.
Speaker 5 (18:27):
Good for you, Jim Abbitt. There's a thirty for thirty
Go check.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
Out Kyle, who was the first contact in your phone book?
Speaker 1 (18:32):
I thought it was gonna be somebody fun. It's just
it's just my friend Erin Ginsberg, who's a R O N. Sorry,
so I don't have a picture or anyone cool, anybody got.
Speaker 7 (18:40):
All he should be in the G's though, you gotta
that's not how I enter it.
Speaker 6 (18:44):
My cousin Alona is her last name.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
It depends on if you have the I I alphabetized
by the first name, So mine is Aaron Jones because
I go by first name. So the packer the Vikings, Yeah,
because he was on.
Speaker 3 (18:56):
Our show for the week. But Kyle, do you remember this.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
We made him look into the camera twenty seven times
and plead to Aaron Rodgers to stay in Green Bay,
and he wore some the entire time.
Speaker 3 (19:05):
And then Rogers went to the Jets.
Speaker 2 (19:07):
It was like, really, but great, dude, and now he's
doing awesome things with the Vikings. But yeah, it depends
on how you alphabetize your phone. Contact you both, Mike
g you are you know, you're You're quite quick with
like the referencing what's in your phone. Last week you
were like, I had a politician text me and an
owner and a GM and I'm still rattling around in
my brain who that politician was.
Speaker 5 (19:26):
Tell you off there, j I gotta go find you
in my phone book.
Speaker 7 (19:30):
Chris, Chris, I like, what GATJT when me come back?
Speaker 2 (19:37):
Mantai is taking a lot of the chiefs defense get
us out.
Speaker 10 (19:40):
Of here, JMI.
Speaker 2 (19:40):
Comparing them to another legendary performance in another sports is
that was Maja Kyle Major m A Y j A H.
Speaker 3 (19:50):
I know well, I'm well schooled on Major. Everybody else
should be too.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
Also, I love giving out awards for broadcasting into the boost.
Who did the best play by played this week? Who
was the best sideline before it was the best graphics package?
Speaker 3 (20:02):
We cover it all.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
We hand out hard where everybody has opinions about sports media,
we do too. In this segment there it is. We're
getting out the blazers and microphones into the booth. Don't
go anywhere you could win.
Speaker 10 (20:24):
Shoeltani is arguably the best player in Major League Baseball.
Twenty eighteen Rookie of the Year, five time All Star,
three time MVP, regarded as the best two way player
to ever play the game. He has close to three
hundred career home runs and has nearly seven hundred strikeouts
as a pitcher. However, this postseason, he experienced some struggles.
(20:45):
Heading into Game four against the Milwaukee Brewers, he had
fourteen strikeouts.
Speaker 6 (20:49):
In his twenty nine at bats.
Speaker 10 (20:51):
It was a slump so significant that he participated in
extra batting practices, something he normally doesn't do. And then
Friday came when Shoel Tani put on the greatest postseason
performance in MLB history when he hit re home runs
and had ten strikeouts on the mound, leading the Dodgers
to the World Series for the second straight year. The
(21:11):
same storyline can be said about the Kansas City Chiefs.
For the first quarter of the season, their play with
so below expectation that questions were.
Speaker 6 (21:19):
Being asked, is this the end? Are the Chiefs done?
And then Sunday happened when the.
Speaker 10 (21:25):
Chiefs defense put on one of the best defensive performances
in NFL history, holding the Raiders to zero points, ninety
five total yards, and only three first downs all game.
Speaker 3 (21:37):
This was the most.
Speaker 10 (21:38):
Dominant defensive performance in almost two decades. The last time
a defense dominated an opponent like this, I was in
jurior in high school, trying to figure out if I
should buy another three pack of tall teas from Champs
for twenty bucks or save up to buy new headphones
that doctor Drake came out with.
Speaker 3 (21:54):
Called Beats by dre Nice.
Speaker 10 (21:56):
After Sunday's performance, the Chiefs have joined a very short
list of defenses to hold their opponents to zero points,
surrender less than one hundred total yards fewer than five
first downs. The first happened in nineteen ninety two, when
Hall of Famer Reggie White and the Eagles shout out
fellow Hall of Famer John Elway and the Denver Broncos
(22:16):
thirty to zero in a Week three stomping. Then in
nineteen ninety nine when the Pittsburgh Steelers beat Ty Detmer
and the Cleveland Browns in Week one of their inaugural
year forty three to zero, allowing a whopping forty yards
of total offense. And then in two thousand, Tony Brackens
and the Jaguars beat the Browns forty eight to zero,
(22:37):
holding spurseon win and the Browns offense to only two
first downs.
Speaker 6 (22:42):
And then the most recent was in two.
Speaker 10 (22:43):
Thousand and eight when the Atlanta Falcons, led by two
time All Pro John Abraham, shoutout Dukland Raiders twenty four
to zero, holding JaMarcus Russell and the Raiders offense to
three first downs and seventy seven total yards. Now, for
the past ten years, we have known the Chiefs to
be a team that plays their best ball in this December.
(23:05):
But that's what makes last week's performance so scary. Christmas
doesn't come for another two months. But maybe it's fitting
that it's October because Halloween is just around the corner.
Speaker 6 (23:16):
Or did that come early too? That was made?
Speaker 2 (23:19):
Oh yeah, I see it. Plus, if they sweep them,
this thing from the Dodgers could be done all by Halloween,
and I'll see. I think people just salivate over when
good teams are mediocre. I think they just love to
see it. They like to jump on it. They like
to be the first one.
Speaker 6 (23:36):
To call it out.
Speaker 2 (23:37):
So it's an unfortunate tide, if you will, speaking of
that was major in the wave that we always see Mantai.
But Mike Gie, that's how I kind of feel about
when people like to jump on the fact that like, oh,
this great team, Oh they suck now, Well I said
it first. It's annoying.
Speaker 5 (23:50):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (23:50):
That defense for the Kansas City chiefs Andy reach first
shutout in the regular season, the four hundred and twenty
seven games, first shutout this season. Yeah, Steve Spagnolo and
that defense. Every time I talk about this defense, or
hear about this defense, or watches the you can't believe
Bags hasn't gotten a second chance to be a head coach.
Speaker 5 (24:07):
There were a lot of things, including I.
Speaker 7 (24:09):
Mean Kevin Demoff, who was an executive on that RAMS team,
said we didn't set this guy up for a chance
to succeed. He deserves a second chance. Remember that team
was more interested in moving than winning at that point.
In Saint Louis, Steve Spagnola has done a fantastic job.
Speaker 5 (24:23):
I hear now like he's sixty five. Oh, is he
too old?
Speaker 7 (24:26):
He's got a fantastic wife who just helps him stay
in line in so many ways, and he doesn't have
any kids, So he's sixty five, But Kyle Brand, he's
really forty five.
Speaker 5 (24:36):
When you factor that, yeah, got a sick off.
Speaker 3 (24:39):
Well, I remember there.
Speaker 1 (24:40):
Was there would be conversations about, well, Spag's going to
get a job, the enemy's going to get a job,
and neither one of them has happened. And now you hear,
maybe Matt n Agill get another job. The guy I
said this a million times yesterday. It was incredible what
they did to the Raiders. The raider heavily faulted. It's
the fact what the chief did to the Lions the
week before that, Lionston we just saw go up and
down the field. On Monday night football lost thirty to
(25:02):
seventeen to Kansas City. It's not like you're going are
the Chiefs back? They never left, They never ever left.
Who cares if they were zeroing too? To Jamie's point,
there are people out there who are trying to make
their career about calling it perfectly.
Speaker 3 (25:17):
When the Chiefs collapse, happens, and you.
Speaker 1 (25:19):
Just put it out there and put it out there,
and then if it doesn't happen, no one really remembers,
So why not just keep shooting? But it's cheap, it's lame,
and most importantly, it's never right.
Speaker 3 (25:27):
The Chiefs are going to be in the title game?
Speaker 1 (25:29):
Is anyone here when I disagree? I don't know if
they're going to win it or not. They're going to
be in it, They're probably going to be hosting it.
They will be there at the same time as always
in January. So whoever wants that other spot, good luck
for it.
Speaker 10 (25:38):
Yeah, KB, I know how you feel, Mike Gia and James,
how do you feel after? I mean, some people may
look at it and say, Okay, that was just maybe
one or two games, but they had three four games
before that of you know, subpoor or below expectation play.
Speaker 6 (25:50):
Are we high on the Chiefs after two games?
Speaker 2 (25:53):
I think the current state of the standings implies that
it's a wide open field. However, history would tell us
that don't mess with these guys. The longer the season,
the better for the chief So I'm not going to
bet again, for sure, Machie, But.
Speaker 3 (26:05):
I don't bet.
Speaker 5 (26:06):
I'm going to bring it back full circle.
Speaker 7 (26:08):
You talked about the Dodgers, You talked about Yohyo Tani.
Speaker 5 (26:10):
The Dodgers this season. Everybody thought they were going to
win one.
Speaker 7 (26:13):
Hundred and ten games, right not and at times they
were banged up greatly, especially on the mount during the season,
but they understood it's not about early in the regular season.
It's about peaking at the right time. Dodgers Chiefs handshake
right there.
Speaker 3 (26:26):
Here's a question.
Speaker 2 (26:27):
My mom watches every single baseball game played in the season.
She has the full package. She listens to the radio,
she sits in the stand, she keeps a book crazy
baseball fan. So I asked her what she thought of
the World Series matchup. She has Dodgers exhaustion. She's kind
of sick of seeing them just in that light. She's
kind of happy for Canada, is what she said, and
that she referenced back to the ninety three World Series
at the last time the Blue Jays were in it,
(26:48):
and it was right after the Twins won one. So
I wonder this about the Blue Jays representing an entire
population of baseball that like, oh, this is the feel
good story. Does anybody ping on the There might be
Chiefs exhaustion, but is there a feel good all their
side of the NFL?
Speaker 3 (27:04):
Allah the Blue.
Speaker 2 (27:05):
Jays making it to the World Series that you are
liking right now.
Speaker 3 (27:08):
In the NFL, Well, for me, it's got to be
the Colts.
Speaker 6 (27:10):
I think the coaches that feel good.
Speaker 10 (27:12):
You know, I don't think anybody expected them to be
where they are right now, number one seed in the
entire AFC. So if I really love the Chiefs, I
really I love Andy Reid. He's one of my favorite coaches.
I love what he does. But I would have to
choose the Colts. I want the Jets.
Speaker 7 (27:25):
Like there's a video going around of a Jets fan
who's just got just you could see his soul leaving
his body.
Speaker 3 (27:33):
In his eyes there's one video.
Speaker 7 (27:34):
There's like a thousand, there's one in particular that's making
the rounds. Really, I just I don't ever like I
got a root for a team. I know people bust
my chop because I'm from Philly. Like the Eagles won
the Super Bowl twice. While I was covering it, the
only thing that I was thinking was I got to
get down to the field because I got a job
to do. I got the game interviews to get done.
I really truly don't care. But I have so many
Jet fan friends that have suffered for so long, and
(27:56):
yesterday when I sent them immediately like your owner just
said a bunch, like the response.
Speaker 5 (28:03):
Is coming back.
Speaker 7 (28:04):
I feel for them so like I want that feel
good story. I want the Jets in the playoffs. I
want the Jets advancing in the playoffs. I want good
things for my friends.
Speaker 1 (28:11):
I Jets fan friends who like after week two, they
were looking at the draft like it was like it
was so early. They're so addicted to it. I was
hoping that the feel good story this year. I thought
it was gonna be the Raiders. I thought it had
been really cool that Pete came back and he's got
the old magic and Gino's very likable, and it's just
it's not gone well. The one that I do like,
(28:33):
and I know I keep talking about this team. I
really like what Sam Donald's doing right now. It's a
tough spot after tough spot for Sam Donald. I had
never met him before in my life. I get I
made a lot of football players. I met him last
February and he was like the coolest, friendliest, nicest athlete
you could ever meet. I'm really rooting for him, and
maybe not everybody.
Speaker 3 (28:52):
Is, but I don't care. He's playing great and it's
pretty cool.
Speaker 2 (28:55):
I think of the Patriots when I think of what's
going on there, and I don't know if it's like
a New England thing with the Toronto and the Blue
Jays or whatnot, but I think of what Drake May
is doing and the resurgence of Mike Graybill and the
presence there. But that to me has been to feel
good and how cool it would be years later when
it was the Jags that went to the AFC title
game and they were the one who just almost got
past the Patriots. What if the Pats have to go
(29:17):
to the Chiefs on AFC title game? That would be
really cool. Oh man, that would be major.
Speaker 6 (29:22):
Thanks fam me, thank you for going down this roll
with what that is? That was MAJA.
Speaker 14 (29:26):
The NFL Way to Play Awards are fueled by Gator Raiding.
They were created to recognize and reward players who use
proper playing techniques. I'm talking all levels, which includes high school.
This week's winner just gave his high schools brand new
which I might add as a sixty two million dollars stadium,
its first signature moment. For that, here's former Jets and
Dolphins quarterback and current high school football coach in Lexington, Kentucky,
(29:50):
Chad Pennington.
Speaker 15 (29:53):
This week's award winner is Tory Coughton from Newford High
School in Georgia. Tory is playing wide receiver down here
at the bottom of your screen.
Speaker 6 (30:01):
First of all, I love his stance.
Speaker 15 (30:02):
Got a great wide receiver stand, solid balance, ready to go.
He comes in motion here. He's going to run what
we call a rail route down the numbers. He really
attacks the defense with his approach with his speed.
Speaker 6 (30:13):
Coming on this rail route.
Speaker 15 (30:15):
There's two defenders that come off of the inside route
to approach Corey to make a play on it. And
then the finish is unbelievable. Big shout out to our
bigs upfront, our offensive line. They have three double kings
in past protection to give our quarterback a chance to
make this big time throw and obviously a big time
catch by Tory being able to go up in traffic,
(30:37):
make the play, make the catch, get flipped over in
the air, and still come down with the ball.
Speaker 6 (30:41):
That is certainly a way to play.
Speaker 15 (30:44):
Congratulation this great job, Toy.
Speaker 14 (30:47):
He might not have stuck the landing, but still a
terrific play. So in honor of that, the NFL Foundation
will the ward a three thousand dollars equipment grant through
USA Football to the Buford Wolves. Learn more about Nflway
to Play check out Playfootball dot NFL dot com. Get
to announce another winner right here next week.
Speaker 4 (31:05):
And while we stay here.
Speaker 14 (31:06):
Kyl and Mike g you're enough to head into the
booths some of the best calls from around the week
of Week seven GMFB staying right here.
Speaker 4 (31:26):
Good morning football.
Speaker 1 (31:32):
You are looking live at New York City, New York,
the media capital of the world from which Mike Garaffalo
and I broadcast today for the purpose of handing out
hardware to people who have excellence in media. There is
Troy Aikman into the booth making some notes and that
is the name of this segment. As Mike slides in effortlessly.
Speaker 3 (31:50):
What's up, Chris, how are you? Cris?
Speaker 5 (31:53):
It is not easy to do.
Speaker 7 (31:54):
Chris Collinsworth makes it look He makes a lot of
things look easy.
Speaker 3 (31:57):
He certainly does.
Speaker 1 (31:58):
Another person does too, and it's someone who's been decorated
in the segment many times.
Speaker 3 (32:02):
Kevin Harlan.
Speaker 1 (32:03):
Kevin Harlan is calling touchdowns for Broncos and the Giants.
And when you do broadcast as much as he does,
you have your go to words that really click for you.
Kevin Harlan is a big ricochet guy, and he hits
it three times.
Speaker 3 (32:15):
Taken away, mister Harlan.
Speaker 16 (32:17):
Second down in goal Toppens, a block to the end zone,
deflected and at Franklin get it on the ricochet touchdown Denver,
third and seventeen, and he'll cut.
Speaker 17 (32:28):
Up pass caught on the ricochet. It's crap here by
the galloping Johnson. He'll be chased on the play by Barren.
Didn't get in. He did touchdown forty one yard ricochet
touchdown reception taking it in ricochet is.
Speaker 3 (32:44):
A fun word to say. I like it.
Speaker 1 (32:45):
It's one of those words. It just rolls off the tongue.
It's like a skytaboo. I'd like to say that word.
And I like to say ricochet.
Speaker 7 (32:51):
You Ricochet guy, any thoughts in the movie Ricochet with
any thoughts?
Speaker 1 (32:55):
Denzel Washington young, hungry, Denzel Liftgow deplorable villain in that
But I love evil John Lithgow, and I.
Speaker 3 (33:02):
Love the song I Believe Ice. He had a song
called Ricochet.
Speaker 6 (33:06):
Yes, Yes, Yes.
Speaker 7 (33:07):
Next reminds me though of Mike Emrick when he used
to call hockey games. Here he ladles the puck into
the battles it.
Speaker 5 (33:11):
You know you had a bunchet.
Speaker 7 (33:12):
Someone wants County to use one hundred and fifty three
verbs in a game.
Speaker 5 (33:15):
One awesome, fantastic, the best update. Don't overlook the in
game up. I love the game up. I know it's
all here. I know you're watching on.
Speaker 7 (33:22):
The eighth, but we still need a good in game update.
And Adam Shine said, my guy got you. Mike Garafalo,
you asked for it, you got it.
Speaker 5 (33:31):
We got an update, Adam Shine.
Speaker 6 (33:33):
Johnny went to range at ports the Dolphins. This right
here is two a.
Speaker 3 (33:36):
Togo by Lois second pick of the game. Let's put
John Jenkins in a third touchdown of the game and literally,
as we speak, two.
Speaker 1 (33:45):
And through another pick, thirty one and six round, Thanks Miami.
Speaker 5 (33:48):
Back to you, Oh multitask, Oh good.
Speaker 7 (33:52):
One eye on the monitor of what you're seeing on
program and also the eye on what's happening over there.
Speaker 1 (33:57):
Great job, Adam talent, old school work ethic, Adam Shine.
You could sit there to the update and just read
your copy and then moving on.
Speaker 3 (34:03):
He is more titasking in the updates. That's how he's
doing whack a mole.
Speaker 1 (34:08):
And there could have been a fourth interception and Sean
would have got it.
Speaker 3 (34:11):
That's my man. What do we have next?
Speaker 6 (34:13):
We have?
Speaker 1 (34:13):
Oh, I can't wait for this one. Best graphics, Best graphics.
Shout out to the graphics truck everybody. Thursday Night Football
treats a Mike Tomlin quote about Brown's GM and Andrew Berry.
We saw that much publicized quote about Joe Flacco and
they turned it into a political ad an attack on
Andrew Berry for Mike Tomlin.
Speaker 3 (34:32):
Well done with this. Let's let's watch it.
Speaker 18 (34:34):
Mike Tomlin made it very clear wasn't happy that Andrew
Berry GM at Cleveland didn't make a lot of sense
to trade a quarterback you think enough of to make
your opening day starter, which he was in Cleveland to
a divisional opponent. So Mike not thrilled that Joe Flackel
was under center tonight and he was right.
Speaker 19 (34:56):
Twenty five or thirty six for two thirty seven and three.
Speaker 1 (34:59):
It's the little stuff where certain words are bolded like
personal because tis the season and right now we got
local elections coming on, mayoral elections and those things are running.
Amazon does an amazing job with that, all their graphics,
all their animations, excellent, excellent work.
Speaker 7 (35:13):
They also did a great job in the pregame show
with Ryan Fitzpatrick showing you how.
Speaker 5 (35:17):
You call two different plays for two different systems with
Joe Flacco.
Speaker 7 (35:21):
I thought Prime Video was really on their game last
week for the Thursday night broadcast. I'm Mike Garrifolo, and
I improved this message. Kyle loves him some big man
interception Sharth, and so does JJ Watt, who can't stop
gushing about Grover Stewart's big man pick.
Speaker 4 (35:38):
Herbert Pump knocked up in the air. Who's got it?
The Colts do big Man pick Crover Stewart? What a
slover doocker?
Speaker 19 (35:47):
Ian t big Man pick Grover Stewart defensive line interception,
knocks it up in the air to himself.
Speaker 3 (35:55):
He has got a lot of tape.
Speaker 19 (35:57):
He basically has casts on both rists, so he's catching
it with some paws, some off admits and uh, you
just defensive lineman interceptions make me happy.
Speaker 16 (36:08):
Awesome.
Speaker 7 (36:08):
Yeah, you know, usually it's a dback who's like, follow
me to the end zone.
Speaker 5 (36:11):
You got to catch up to him. In this case,
you know, didn't have to.
Speaker 1 (36:14):
A lot of times those defensive backs are hoping for
a lateral too because they want that to Yeah, that
wasn't happening. I just have to say, like JJ has
been fantastic this year. He's having a really good year,
and CBS has found something and he and Ian. For
JJ to have the football career he had and all
the things he have going on, for them to be
this good at broadcasting this fast is just incredible. It
shouldn't be fair, but you're doing it anyways. And a
(36:34):
guy's doing it for a long time. Kenny Albert just
a legend. You know, he's doing a long time because
he appreciates the old school and as Lucas, have a
sick made a kick watch what got made was the
connection between Kenny and have your sick and it's just perfect.
Speaker 3 (36:51):
He can do it better than me.
Speaker 4 (36:52):
Go however, shit ktch the ball. However, shit catch the ball.
Speaker 3 (36:57):
You need to be a lot older to get that reference.
Speaker 19 (36:59):
Shelton, I don't get it, but I believe you love.
Speaker 3 (37:05):
The film and says I don't get it.
Speaker 1 (37:06):
I always like when anyone admits they don't get every
reference ever, because we don't. That's nineteen sixty five court
John halet Check. Do you think that Kenny had that
locked and loaded like he knew the kicker's name was
sounded like halet Check and he had it ready.
Speaker 5 (37:18):
Yeah, because he came back like that. How long was
that field goal there is? That's say on your card.
Speaker 3 (37:22):
I don't know he had.
Speaker 7 (37:24):
Harsick had another field goal later in the game that
I believe was more dramatic and longer, and it's like
that would have been the great spot to.
Speaker 3 (37:30):
Really get after at it.
Speaker 7 (37:31):
He knew he couldn't get after it at that point,
but he wanted to make the reference, and you just
no guarantee there might not be another character.
Speaker 1 (37:36):
So I gotta get that Halicheck reference in absolutely laced.
Speaker 3 (37:39):
And now we're giving him an award. But what's next, Mike.
Speaker 5 (37:41):
I get it, I appreciate it. I love it. Now
for the best best technical hiccup?
Speaker 3 (37:46):
Oh, I know where you're going. This is great.
Speaker 6 (37:48):
I like this.
Speaker 5 (37:48):
Playing through the adversity. That's what you've got to do.
Speaker 7 (37:50):
Sometimes it doesn't go according to script, that doesn't go
according to plan.
Speaker 5 (37:54):
The Jets Panthers game. Chris Myers and Mark Schlereth for Fox.
Speaker 18 (38:00):
He shifted the NFL in rushing through six weeks.
Speaker 10 (38:02):
He totally played till the last couple of weeks when.
Speaker 18 (38:04):
He dominated all the football, running the ball so well,
scrimmage yards were outstanding.
Speaker 3 (38:09):
Let me tackle credit for getting.
Speaker 4 (38:11):
Their first Well, this is something I haven't seen.
Speaker 7 (38:12):
Okay, we're gonna get the right guard pulling and the
left guard pulling.
Speaker 18 (38:17):
This is what we call a mistake.
Speaker 16 (38:19):
Those guys knocking each other around a little bit.
Speaker 8 (38:22):
And is as good as they have been, and they
have been great.
Speaker 6 (38:26):
I love it.
Speaker 7 (38:27):
I mean, there was a game where Clyde Simmons blocked
the field goal for the Eagles for some.
Speaker 5 (38:31):
Reason, was not on TV.
Speaker 7 (38:33):
I listened to it on one of those old radios
that had the thing that went across it that my
parents had Meryl Reese on the call, and it sounded
exactly like that. And I'd imagine back in nineteen twenty
seven or whatever, it was the Gene Tunny, Jack Dempsey
fight sud Right, why have we gotta rail slumber knocker
hair and Jean Tunny's tunny.
Speaker 5 (38:50):
It's got Dempsey backed up against the.
Speaker 6 (38:51):
Rose, I know.
Speaker 3 (38:52):
And that's that's what I'm here, and I'm hearing caught.
Speaker 1 (38:54):
It back bright sounding breaks the pocket, that's a falling pass,
and that's a like each squirrel. I absolutely love that
they did that. Everything is so retro obsessed. It's always
the vintage you. I thought it was a vintage broadcast
where they were going to actually go.
Speaker 3 (39:08):
Back and do that.
Speaker 1 (39:09):
And what's perfect is that throwback to like nineteen thirty
five or whatever. That was the style of football the
Jets were playing on offense too, right, so there were
no forward passes either from the Jets. Well, I absolutely
adored it. Huge awards, and I know they were probably
really furious and frustrated and embarrassed that there.
Speaker 3 (39:26):
Were technical problems turn it.
Speaker 1 (39:27):
Into a good thing. You absolutely loved it, Mike. He
made a great reference. Best in segment movie reference. Bring
up the picture. I've heard we have a photograph of
this is not well.
Speaker 3 (39:38):
Yeah, baby, talk us through it, Mike.
Speaker 7 (39:40):
Come on, we're looking at Denzel with the nineties mustache
right there and lift Go.
Speaker 5 (39:44):
I don't remember this scene specifically though. All right, so
he's tied up. I see you Liftgao.
Speaker 1 (39:48):
You might think, oh, he's the geeky dad from Third
Rock or something like that. Lift Goo in the nineties
was some of the most horrible cliffhanger.
Speaker 3 (39:54):
He's a terrible villain in this movie.
Speaker 1 (39:57):
He's got a line, a line insult to someone's wife
that I can't even come close to saying on the air.
Speaker 3 (40:02):
It's unbelievable.
Speaker 1 (40:03):
Lift Gow great and obviously Denzel just coming into his prime.
I love a Ricochet reference. And that's that's into the boot.
Do we leave any other awards? I think that's it.
Speaker 3 (40:10):
No.
Speaker 7 (40:10):
I think, well, we've always got a few in the
cutting room floor because there's so many people that are
so great at what they do. You know what, go
out and do it again and you might be here
with us. In the booth next week NFL Week eight guests.
Speaker 1 (40:21):
Yes, coming up, Wait about ads, don't off, don't touch
that dial, let's end to the boat.
Speaker 2 (40:28):
We have to check in on the Pittsburgh Steelers. They've
been a fun watch recently. And let's just say the
vibe seem high in Pittsburgh because the off the fields
character building and team building is going great.
Speaker 17 (40:41):
What's up, Manglans means I'm with some people that don't
need any introduction here at night, the black and goal.
Speaker 14 (40:47):
Supporting the black and go at your pets and president
Pittsburgh Steelers.
Speaker 4 (40:51):
And they know exactly how to get this game started.
Speaker 5 (40:56):
It's a hockey night.
Speaker 4 (41:05):
It's the Pittsburgh Penguins.
Speaker 6 (41:06):
That's what they do. Before they dropped the park in Pittsburgh.
Speaker 2 (41:09):
That was Aaron Rodgers m company yelling the traditional hockey
thing that the dou it's really cool in Pittsburgh.
Speaker 3 (41:16):
All their team's pro teams are.
Speaker 14 (41:18):
Black and gold, which has a lot of you know exactly,
so that makes a lot of sense.
Speaker 10 (41:23):
We're just saying, that's the happiest that we've seen Aarons
Rogers looks the joyful that he looks at that guy.
Speaker 6 (41:28):
That's just he's happy to be with the gang. Happy
for him. It's good to see, Yeah.
Speaker 3 (41:34):
New York.
Speaker 7 (41:34):
I mentioned earlier in the program that I've shed my
Eagles fandom having grown up in Philadelphia because I covered
the NFL.
Speaker 5 (41:41):
I have maintained it for the other sports.
Speaker 7 (41:43):
I am a black and orange bleeding Flyer fans, and
I'm going to pull some jerseys over some heads there
and start.
Speaker 5 (41:53):
Work out.
Speaker 1 (41:54):
There's a great clip afterwards. I don't know if you
guys saw. The Steelers are down on the ice and
Rogers walks out there and Broderick Jones tackles him on
the ice from behind and puts him right into the
It's incredible. And then he pulls a sweat over and
punches him. It's really funny.
Speaker 3 (42:08):
And Siddy Crosby gets in there. Yeah, right, it's allowed
in hockey, it's allowed.
Speaker 5 (42:12):
It's allowed.
Speaker 4 (42:13):
That'd be fun.
Speaker 3 (42:13):
Shift change. Don't take your teammate down, but if you do, it's.
Speaker 6 (42:16):
All laughs and giggles.
Speaker 2 (42:18):
Well done, everybody, GMFB on a Wednesday, Happy Aaron Rodgers,
happy as a show is them. We'll be back Thursday
to look at Thursday Night Football.
Good Morning Football is the production of the NFL in
partnership with iHeartRadio.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
Come Back stories and come backs when someone talks about you.
That's all GMFB this hour. It's Good Morning Football presented
by Old Trapper Beef Jerki Wednesday, October twenty second, Jamie
Ard on, matt Ieyo here in LA.
Speaker 3 (00:22):
But a lot of headlines coming out.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Of New York City, which is why it's great to
have Kyle Brandt and Mike garra Follo there.
Speaker 4 (00:27):
KB.
Speaker 3 (00:28):
How's it going, It's going great. We're gonna see how
this segment goes.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
We are going to talk some jets because there is
some rhetoric tossed around and it's New York City, but
we're also going to talk some for positive stuff, some
more fun stuff.
Speaker 3 (00:41):
And I'm just happy to be here with you guys.
On a Wednesday.
Speaker 5 (00:43):
Mike, You're ready to roll, ready to go.
Speaker 6 (00:45):
That's two. So genuinely.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
Welcome to Good Morning Football presented by Old Trapper.
Speaker 6 (01:05):
What's up everybody?
Speaker 3 (01:06):
JIMTB on a Wednesday.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
Sometimes you know, the mic just stays open long enough
to peak the curiosity. Jamie Man's, I'm Mike g and
Kyle Brandt. What are you two chuckling about there in
New York City. Come on, let us in, let the
listener in behind the wall.
Speaker 5 (01:19):
I heard of the show, Jamie.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
Now, what has been two things that Mike and I've
gotten fired up by this morning. One is the fact
that one of us I'm not going to say who
has to go has to gets to go to a
Halloween party this weekend, in which scene he requires a costume.
Speaker 3 (01:32):
And when you're in your forties, it's like being waterboarded.
It's like it's the worst thing of all time. Go ahead, Mike.
Speaker 7 (01:39):
The last time I got dressed up was probably twelve
to thirteen years ago, and I said, what's the closest
thing to me? So I went as Tony Parker. I
bought myself a Tony.
Speaker 3 (01:50):
Yeah, I can see that.
Speaker 5 (01:50):
Yeah, that's the guy I used to get.
Speaker 3 (01:52):
Yeah, Eva Longoria, that's what Longoria.
Speaker 5 (01:55):
But they didn't wear a way Wait, she was blonde.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
I'm like, oh, you didn't like trying that's not yeah anyway,
that's what we're talking about.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
Normally, we have a very easy segment where you get
to get some things off your trust. But Kyle has
already made mention too many times.
Speaker 6 (02:08):
How much.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
He despises Halloween parties getting the infuny having right there
was them interacting with humans. No, just the Halloween party.
Judy Batista and I and Rappaport are at the NFL
Fall League meeting. Guys, if you want to have a
take on Mike gb Tony Parker or the toush push, Judy,
go ahead, what have you.
Speaker 8 (02:26):
He also looks like the soccer coach, right, yeah, he
said that, Like, that's exactly who I think Mike looks like.
Speaker 4 (02:32):
Okay, I mean that's a little to us.
Speaker 6 (02:37):
You knew that.
Speaker 9 (02:39):
I don't understand this just occurred to you. I thought
we talked about opening your brains, not shutting your brains.
Speaker 4 (02:45):
Oh man, all right, we're going to get to work now.
Speaker 8 (02:48):
Okay, So we will hear from a commissioner, Roger Goodell
in a few hours here to wrap up this meeting.
But something really interesting that came up yesterday was the
touch push, because that's all we talk.
Speaker 4 (02:58):
About basically in the NFL.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
We talked to.
Speaker 8 (03:00):
Football operations executives yesterday and Troy fin since said they
are having trouble officiating the tousch push.
Speaker 6 (03:08):
This has been an.
Speaker 8 (03:08):
Issue all season. Are the Eagles jumping before they should
be jumping, and he admitted a line judge, that's the
judge that would be responsible for calling it, has trouble
seeing if they are moving before the snap, and he
said they are trying to.
Speaker 6 (03:25):
Get better at it.
Speaker 8 (03:25):
But look, we know that the league try to get
rid of this play in the off season last year
they talked about the health and safety issues, the concerns
about it, and certainly you would expect that as this
goes forward, and we expect this to come up again
in the off season, whether they want the toush push
to remain in the game. You would think Ian that
their issues with officiating, the fact that they are having
(03:48):
a tough time officiating it properly is going to enter
the conversation.
Speaker 9 (03:52):
Yeah, the NFL really has gone round and round on
the toush push. You're right, still a topic of conversations still.
As they mentioned, actually one team that does it pretty well.
That would be the Eagles. A bunch of other teams
that try to do it and just to be real,
don't do it quite as well. But there are i
mean several facets of like, here's why we should outlaw
It's not really a football player. That is my stand.
(04:12):
Scare Phone knows that and has argued with me on
many many days on the Insiders about this. There was
the health and safety issue, which didnt seem like it's
there's really been any big injuries there, although certainly a
fact a couple scares and obviously the fear of it.
And then it's hard to officiate part of it, which
is sort of the newest and also the oldest because
that's kind of how this started. I don't know where
(04:34):
it goes from here, but it continues to be a
topic of conversation, continues to be something where they are
weighing doing away, and at some point, Judy, you have
to just think like maybe enough is enough and they outlawed,
but that decision is not going to probably come.
Speaker 6 (04:49):
Until the spring.
Speaker 8 (04:50):
Right last offseason they dealt with it, Remember they got
very close to removing it last year in a matter
of weeks. They swung a whole lot of votes against
the Tush push, certainly, and that was on health and
safety ramification that they were concerned about. So certainly, if
they revisited in the off season, as we fully expect
that they will do, you would think they will really
(05:12):
lean into trying to get the play out of the game. Certainly,
the Eagles are not going to like it. The Eagles
are outstanding and executing it. But the league and the
other owners have a whole lot of concerns about the play, Jamie, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
They do, and everyone's got an opinion now about it.
It's emerged with some ferocity. Thanks Judy, Thanks Ian, It's
time to go three and out on GMFB. First down.
After hearing from our insiders, just now, man Sai, where
do you stand on the toush push and the nature
of the.
Speaker 10 (05:42):
Beasts Well, as far as the play is concerned, I
don't have an issue to fit.
Speaker 6 (05:46):
The only issue they covered it a little bit Judy.
Speaker 10 (05:48):
And rap Sheet is the encroachment like that's something that
I don't know how they try to remedy the remedy that.
The only way that I can think about it is
if it's reviewable. And the last time that we reviewed
penalties was pass interference penalties and twin in nineteen. But
I don't know if you just throw the flag and
just repeat, I just don't know. I the only this
(06:10):
advantage to that is they get a jump start on
their movements. Other than that the play itself, I don't
is it a football play?
Speaker 6 (06:19):
Is it not a football play?
Speaker 10 (06:21):
I don't really have an opinion on that because it's.
Speaker 6 (06:23):
Not a rugby play.
Speaker 3 (06:25):
I played rugby as well.
Speaker 6 (06:26):
It's not a rugby play.
Speaker 10 (06:27):
But if they can figure out a way to remedy
this whole encroachment and off side sting, I think it
stays in the game.
Speaker 5 (06:36):
It drives me crazy, go on what I speak to
hear this.
Speaker 7 (06:40):
It started as it's tough to officiate, then it went
to it's not a.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
Football play, it doesn't look like a football.
Speaker 7 (06:47):
Then it became the health thing. I mean, we've talked
injury concern that injury. Now we're back to it's hard
to officiate. And I think by the spring it'll be
the Chappelle Show Pop copy segment. If you haven't seen
that one before, go check it out.
Speaker 5 (07:03):
And he says, why because bleep them. That's why. That's why.
Speaker 7 (07:08):
I think that's where we're And you know what, if
we just got there and we just landed there, I
think I'd just be happier with the whole process and
be like, well, at least you're admitting it at this.
Speaker 5 (07:18):
Point, because I'll hear this stuff.
Speaker 7 (07:19):
The health there is no there's been no Internet. Health
and safety doesn't look like a football player. Can think
of a other football players. It's tough to officiate. Blah
blah blah blah. I did ask Troy Vince yesterday because
he said it's hard from the sideline for the officials,
who ordinarily on a regular play would see that interior
alignment before the snap. They can't see it because they're
so far away. I said, what if you move them in?
(07:40):
He said, well, we can't do that because even if
they're in that formation doesn't mean they're necessarily going to run.
Speaker 5 (07:44):
They could run something else.
Speaker 6 (07:45):
We run it already.
Speaker 5 (07:46):
So that's the hard to officiate part.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
But should the officials have like binoculars or something like this?
Speaker 3 (07:53):
Stand there, bring them closer?
Speaker 5 (07:55):
I mentioned this on air last night.
Speaker 7 (07:56):
Rappaport goes, as I'm saying, it interrupts me, kind of
like I'm doing to you now. Sorry, suspend the referee
over the line of scrimmag like silay, like oh, like.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
The Falcons mascot that comes down for the state, like
lady ka.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
All right, I'll be very quick.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
I've said this, Jame, you know, for well, I think
all the ammunition against the Toush push I think is nonsense.
I do like it as a football play. I think
it's you push, we push, you can push harder. I
don't think it's an injured concern, and I resent that
they throw that around to try to get attention because
I don't think it is one. But it's gone where
I can't follow, where they're committing a blatant penalty, the
false starting thing that is a penalty.
Speaker 3 (08:34):
You can't do that.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
And you see these super slow motion replays or you
see screen caps where the Eagles helmet is way in
front of the ball from the right guard or left guard.
Speaker 3 (08:44):
You can't as a referee. I don't care how old you.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
Are, how far are you It happens too quickly in
real time. You can't say, well, well they false started.
You don't even know for sure. So the fact that
they're committing a bona fide, unarguable penalty when they do
it most of the time.
Speaker 3 (08:58):
I think it's gone where I can't follow.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
And I hate to say that because I've been rocking
for the Toush push, But you can't commit penalties.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
It's just that's not the way the league works.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
Well, we'll see how this thing wraps up once again
in the league meeting next spring when it's the annual
league meeting for the NFL. Until then, more juicy headlines
come out for second down on GMFB of three and out.
Jets owner Woody Johnson was asked his thoughts on his
team's zero to seven start, and he was not try
expressing his opinion.
Speaker 11 (09:26):
Well, the record speaks for itself. Yeah, but I don't
go to any game thinking I'm gonna lose, so I'm
hopeful every Sunday. I just think defense, special teams are
doing better. Defense is pretty good. But we can just
complete a pass, it would look good. You know, we
(09:46):
got to complete some paths. You got to convince him
that you could do something. Otherwise it's hard to have,
you know, have a game that you can win.
Speaker 12 (09:56):
You know, it's hard when you have a quarterback with
you know, okay, with a rating that you know we got,
you know, I mean, hadge the ability, but something just
is not driving. But if you look at any any
head coach at a quarterback like that, you're going to
see similar results.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
I mean, he just quadrupled down on that take on
justin Fields and he tried to come back out of
it a little bit by saying, well, he's the ability,
it's just not driving Manti. Please translate in your mind.
Woody Johnson's take on Justin Field's play.
Speaker 10 (10:25):
Well, I'll say what I see in Justin fields play.
I think oftentimes a reluctance to make a mistake in
pursuit of trying to be perfect results in you not
really making movement at all. That's what I see at
Justin Fields. He's constantly waiting for the perfect scenario to
throw the ball. There's man coverage, whatever the whatever the
relationship with the dB to his receivers are. He's waiting
(10:47):
for those perfect moments and it sometimes most times it
just takes too long and he gets sacked or he
gets rushed or pressured. I can't fall with you on
this because the entire.
Speaker 6 (11:00):
Team, the run game is looking really good. Yeah, Garrett Wilson,
who's one of.
Speaker 10 (11:03):
The premier receiver in the game, and you have a
defense that is that that comes up with big stops.
But your quarterback, I see a quarterback that's just frozen.
He's he's trying to analyze things and trying to wait
for the perfect moment. And just luck in life, you
wait for the perfect moment, there is none and you
just stuck in the same place.
Speaker 7 (11:20):
Marchie Whatdy Johnson usually shows up to these events and
games in a Jets hat.
Speaker 5 (11:24):
He was wearing a Crystal Palace hat.
Speaker 7 (11:26):
He actually said at one point that the fans are
true Blue, and then he had to correct himself to Green.
Speaker 5 (11:31):
I think there may have been a little bit of
a hidden message there. I don't know.
Speaker 7 (11:34):
I'm supposedly going to Pep Guardiola now to a Halloween
party that I should probably catch up on. My soccer
is Crystal Palace probably better than the Jets are doing
right now? He did Jamie walk through the lobby again
after the meeting was done yesterday and.
Speaker 5 (11:49):
Judy talked to him.
Speaker 7 (11:50):
Judy Patista talked him for like twenty minutes, and he
didn't walk anything back, and he's like, you know, I'm right,
So it was definitely calculated.
Speaker 5 (11:57):
He didn't take it back.
Speaker 7 (11:58):
He didn't say, hey, I was taken out of context
or anything like that. He meant to say what he
meant to say. I just don't know how that flies now.
In the locker room, like you know, you walk in,
you justin Field's like, dude, you hear the boss like
not great.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
One of the things I respect the most about Justin Fields,
and we've seen this going back to Chicago. He keeps
his head down and his mouth shut. He is not
someone who pops off. He doesn't criticize teammates. He hasn't
had much success winning, but I really at least respect
how he goes about his business. Part of me, in
this instance wishes that it was not the case. Because
if you are Justin Fields and you're fighting, and you're
(12:32):
doing your best, and you have this bad team, this
bad situation, then you have to hear this. Maybe you
might retort with something about like what did you expect
from me? What did you think you were getting? I'm
a sixty one percent passer. I've shown this for years.
Do you think I was Steve Young? Like I'm Justin Fields?
Mike Tomlin sat me down for Russell Wilson. What did
you you paid me forty million bucks to get here?
(12:53):
And while we're on the topic, sir, is it possible
that maybe is not me? And there's so many organizational
things going on, because if you want to complete a
pass a couple of years ago, you brought in probably
the most accurate passer in NFL history, and he flopped
and fell on his face.
Speaker 3 (13:09):
Last year, let's go back even further.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
You had the number two overall pick in the draft,
this dimple faced kid with a live arm.
Speaker 3 (13:18):
He fell on his face in this building. Then you
had the number three.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
Pick in the draft, a guy at a USC who's
gone on to have great success with other organizations, and
he fell on his face in this building.
Speaker 3 (13:30):
So maybe it is something to do with the building.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
To respect your building, sir, and maybe not me running
around trying to make plays on behalf of your building.
That's what I might say if I was justin fields,
but he.
Speaker 3 (13:41):
Probably will not.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
He is a different type of guy, That's what I
would say.
Speaker 8 (13:45):
Though.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
If you look at the transcript on Kyle's last take,
I'm pretty sure he led with I'm going to keep
this short, which is essentially what Wody Johnson tried to do,
and he led Kyle was I was a good long
run on the history of the Jets quarterbacking in the
last ten years, and you're like, no, no, no, I'm
just going to keep this brief.
Speaker 3 (14:01):
Well done.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
Third down in November of last year, Daniel Jones, after
having played a game in Germany, after having received an
angry run scepter, was released by the New York Giants
in a highly publicized move. Then in March, he signed
with the Colts after a week long stint with the
Minnesota Vikings. And now he's under center for Indianapolis, the
NFL's highest scoring offense. He looks great and he's out
(14:24):
there talking to his bleak for his team.
Speaker 3 (14:26):
Catch this moment.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
In postgame interview with CBS's Evan Washburn, and Daniel Jones
had this to say about some doubters.
Speaker 13 (14:33):
Not that you care, but those of us in the outside,
I think are a little surprised just how well this.
Speaker 6 (14:38):
Team is playing to start the season.
Speaker 13 (14:40):
What do we need to know about this group that
maybe we didn't know going into the year.
Speaker 4 (14:46):
I mean, I don't know. It sounds like sounds like
YA didn't know much.
Speaker 5 (14:51):
It's a feel good story.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
You who took a lot of heat from the fans
in the New York and the media market for the Giants.
So I ask you guys this, do you have a
favorite comeback story from any professional player in any sports ever?
Speaker 3 (15:04):
Mansai?
Speaker 2 (15:05):
Some people might say Daniel Jones, what's yours?
Speaker 10 (15:07):
Well, one of my favorite athletes of all time in
resting pieces, Kobe Bryant, and in his last game at
thirty seven year old old dropped sixty points against the
Utah Jazz to bring them back after being down double digits.
So we had a segment on if if I could
tell the youth about somebody. I mean, this is somebody
who had a tremendous impact on me, and the Mama
mentality is something that I tried to live by. He
(15:29):
wasn't perfect, but everything that he embodied as a competitor,
I try to embody in my game. And I thought
that the game that he had against a Utah Jazz
twenty years in the league, helping them to win one
hundred one on one to ninety six and his last
final game and ending it with Mamba out, that would
be the comeback story for me.
Speaker 6 (15:48):
Jack.
Speaker 7 (15:49):
I remember in nineteen ninety four over Brian Fry's house,
my friend he had access to pay per view put
it to you that way. I think the Statute of
Limitations is up on that, so I'll out him publicly.
But we watched the George Foreman Michael Moore fight.
Speaker 3 (16:02):
Oh it's great one.
Speaker 7 (16:03):
Forty five years old for George Foreman coming back to
win the heavyweight chit. I still don't understand how that
punched there. I'm watching it right now.
Speaker 3 (16:10):
As a matter of.
Speaker 5 (16:10):
Fact, resulted in that knockout.
Speaker 7 (16:12):
I've had some boxing experts explained to me why it
was more devastating than it looked. Fine whatever, I actually
look this up this morning. I thought he was a
bigger underdog. It's only like a two to one underdog
in this one.
Speaker 5 (16:22):
But do you know how.
Speaker 7 (16:23):
Many grills my man sold that night for you, George Foreman.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
George Foreman reached a point in his career when he
would enter the ring to Hakuna Matata because his children
liked the song. So he was this big scary boxer,
but he was saying it means no worries, wonderful phrase.
It was a shock and awe when he dropped Michael
Moore and Michael Moore who had beaten Evander Holyfield for
the belt to nobody beat holy Field back in the day.
Speaker 3 (16:45):
Mine is Jamie. Admittedly a little more of an.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
Inspirational story than a comeback, but it's certainly a comeback
from a card that life deals you I wish the
young people knew about Jim Abbott. Jim Abbot was a
pitcher in the major leagues. He won eighty some games,
played mostly for the Angels and the Yankees. One catch.
He didn't have a hand is right hand. He was
born without it. It's in a ridiculous, really cool story.
(17:09):
He was a left handed pitcher with one hand. He
threw a no hitter, a no hitter in the big
leagues in which he had this incredible style war he
had the ball in his hand, he would put his
glove on the remnants of his forearm, on his right appendage,
and then throw the ball and transfer the glove onto
the forearm. Teams would back in the day they'd be
crucified for this, but back in the day they would
(17:30):
deliberately bunt against Maddox or against Abbott to try to
get the ball to get on base, and he would
switch the glove back and forth and throw it.
Speaker 3 (17:38):
Incredible thing that he'd even made it to the majors.
He won.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
He threw up perfect games and really really cool thing,
no hand, lefty heat, all kinds of talent, and he
did it in spite of that. Now does motivational speaking
it's amazing.
Speaker 3 (17:50):
Imagine that.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
I mean, it's not a basketball player with one hand,
but it's not not bad.
Speaker 3 (17:54):
It's really really close. And I just still wish more
people knew that story.
Speaker 7 (17:57):
I think about Jim Abbott damn near every single day.
Speaker 3 (17:59):
Is that right?
Speaker 6 (18:00):
You want to know why?
Speaker 3 (18:00):
Yeah, you have a phone number.
Speaker 5 (18:02):
First name in the phone book O A B B
A B B.
Speaker 3 (18:05):
You always see him.
Speaker 5 (18:06):
I always seem Mabbit.
Speaker 6 (18:07):
Now.
Speaker 7 (18:07):
The reason of mine my contact is I wrote a
story for NFL dot com go check it out on
Shaquem Griffin when he was in the draft process, and
I spoke to Jim Abbott about that, the fact that
he was I don't know if he had spoken him
at that point we planned to, but he was definitely
rooting for Shaquem Griffin given that they both had the
same issue playing professional sports with no hand.
Speaker 5 (18:27):
Good for you, Jim Abbitt. There's a thirty for thirty
Go check.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
Out Kyle, who was the first contact in your phone book?
Speaker 1 (18:32):
I thought it was gonna be somebody fun. It's just
it's just my friend Erin Ginsberg, who's a R O N. Sorry,
so I don't have a picture or anyone cool, anybody got.
Speaker 7 (18:40):
All he should be in the G's though, you gotta
that's not how I enter it.
Speaker 6 (18:44):
My cousin Alona is her last name.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
It depends on if you have the I I alphabetized
by the first name, So mine is Aaron Jones because
I go by first name. So the packer the Vikings, Yeah,
because he was on.
Speaker 3 (18:56):
Our show for the week. But Kyle, do you remember this.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
We made him look into the camera twenty seven times
and plead to Aaron Rodgers to stay in Green Bay,
and he wore some the entire time.
Speaker 3 (19:05):
And then Rogers went to the Jets.
Speaker 2 (19:07):
It was like, really, but great, dude, and now he's
doing awesome things with the Vikings. But yeah, it depends
on how you alphabetize your phone. Contact you both, Mike
g you are you know, you're You're quite quick with
like the referencing what's in your phone. Last week you
were like, I had a politician text me and an
owner and a GM and I'm still rattling around in
my brain who that politician was.
Speaker 5 (19:26):
Tell you off there, j I gotta go find you
in my phone book.
Speaker 7 (19:30):
Chris, Chris, I like, what GATJT when me come back?
Speaker 2 (19:37):
Mantai is taking a lot of the chiefs defense get
us out.
Speaker 10 (19:40):
Of here, JMI.
Speaker 2 (19:40):
Comparing them to another legendary performance in another sports is
that was Maja Kyle Major m A Y j A H.
Speaker 3 (19:50):
I know well, I'm well schooled on Major. Everybody else
should be too.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
Also, I love giving out awards for broadcasting into the boost.
Who did the best play by played this week? Who
was the best sideline before it was the best graphics package?
Speaker 3 (20:02):
We cover it all.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
We hand out hard where everybody has opinions about sports media,
we do too. In this segment there it is. We're
getting out the blazers and microphones into the booth. Don't
go anywhere you could win.
Speaker 10 (20:24):
Shoeltani is arguably the best player in Major League Baseball.
Twenty eighteen Rookie of the Year, five time All Star,
three time MVP, regarded as the best two way player
to ever play the game. He has close to three
hundred career home runs and has nearly seven hundred strikeouts
as a pitcher. However, this postseason, he experienced some struggles.
(20:45):
Heading into Game four against the Milwaukee Brewers, he had
fourteen strikeouts.
Speaker 6 (20:49):
In his twenty nine at bats.
Speaker 10 (20:51):
It was a slump so significant that he participated in
extra batting practices, something he normally doesn't do. And then
Friday came when Shoel Tani put on the greatest postseason
performance in MLB history when he hit re home runs
and had ten strikeouts on the mound, leading the Dodgers
to the World Series for the second straight year. The
(21:11):
same storyline can be said about the Kansas City Chiefs.
For the first quarter of the season, their play with
so below expectation that questions were.
Speaker 6 (21:19):
Being asked, is this the end? Are the Chiefs done?
And then Sunday happened when the.
Speaker 10 (21:25):
Chiefs defense put on one of the best defensive performances
in NFL history, holding the Raiders to zero points, ninety
five total yards, and only three first downs all game.
Speaker 3 (21:37):
This was the most.
Speaker 10 (21:38):
Dominant defensive performance in almost two decades. The last time
a defense dominated an opponent like this, I was in
jurior in high school, trying to figure out if I
should buy another three pack of tall teas from Champs
for twenty bucks or save up to buy new headphones
that doctor Drake came out with.
Speaker 3 (21:54):
Called Beats by dre Nice.
Speaker 10 (21:56):
After Sunday's performance, the Chiefs have joined a very short
list of defenses to hold their opponents to zero points,
surrender less than one hundred total yards fewer than five
first downs. The first happened in nineteen ninety two, when
Hall of Famer Reggie White and the Eagles shout out
fellow Hall of Famer John Elway and the Denver Broncos
(22:16):
thirty to zero in a Week three stomping. Then in
nineteen ninety nine when the Pittsburgh Steelers beat Ty Detmer
and the Cleveland Browns in Week one of their inaugural
year forty three to zero, allowing a whopping forty yards
of total offense. And then in two thousand, Tony Brackens
and the Jaguars beat the Browns forty eight to zero,
(22:37):
holding spurseon win and the Browns offense to only two
first downs.
Speaker 6 (22:42):
And then the most recent was in two.
Speaker 10 (22:43):
Thousand and eight when the Atlanta Falcons, led by two
time All Pro John Abraham, shoutout Dukland Raiders twenty four
to zero, holding JaMarcus Russell and the Raiders offense to
three first downs and seventy seven total yards. Now, for
the past ten years, we have known the Chiefs to
be a team that plays their best ball in this December.
(23:05):
But that's what makes last week's performance so scary. Christmas
doesn't come for another two months. But maybe it's fitting
that it's October because Halloween is just around the corner.
Speaker 6 (23:16):
Or did that come early too? That was made?
Speaker 2 (23:19):
Oh yeah, I see it. Plus, if they sweep them,
this thing from the Dodgers could be done all by Halloween,
and I'll see. I think people just salivate over when
good teams are mediocre. I think they just love to
see it. They like to jump on it. They like
to be the first one.
Speaker 6 (23:36):
To call it out.
Speaker 2 (23:37):
So it's an unfortunate tide, if you will, speaking of
that was major in the wave that we always see Mantai.
But Mike Gie, that's how I kind of feel about
when people like to jump on the fact that like, oh,
this great team, Oh they suck now, Well I said
it first. It's annoying.
Speaker 5 (23:50):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (23:50):
That defense for the Kansas City chiefs Andy reach first
shutout in the regular season, the four hundred and twenty
seven games, first shutout this season. Yeah, Steve Spagnolo and
that defense. Every time I talk about this defense, or
hear about this defense, or watches the you can't believe
Bags hasn't gotten a second chance to be a head coach.
Speaker 5 (24:07):
There were a lot of things, including I.
Speaker 7 (24:09):
Mean Kevin Demoff, who was an executive on that RAMS team,
said we didn't set this guy up for a chance
to succeed. He deserves a second chance. Remember that team
was more interested in moving than winning at that point.
In Saint Louis, Steve Spagnola has done a fantastic job.
Speaker 5 (24:23):
I hear now like he's sixty five. Oh, is he
too old?
Speaker 7 (24:26):
He's got a fantastic wife who just helps him stay
in line in so many ways, and he doesn't have
any kids, So he's sixty five, But Kyle Brand, he's
really forty five.
Speaker 5 (24:36):
When you factor that, yeah, got a sick off.
Speaker 3 (24:39):
Well, I remember there.
Speaker 1 (24:40):
Was there would be conversations about, well, Spag's going to
get a job, the enemy's going to get a job,
and neither one of them has happened. And now you hear,
maybe Matt n Agill get another job. The guy I
said this a million times yesterday. It was incredible what
they did to the Raiders. The raider heavily faulted. It's
the fact what the chief did to the Lions the
week before that, Lionston we just saw go up and
down the field. On Monday night football lost thirty to
(25:02):
seventeen to Kansas City. It's not like you're going are
the Chiefs back? They never left, They never ever left.
Who cares if they were zeroing too? To Jamie's point,
there are people out there who are trying to make
their career about calling it perfectly.
Speaker 3 (25:17):
When the Chiefs collapse, happens, and you.
Speaker 1 (25:19):
Just put it out there and put it out there,
and then if it doesn't happen, no one really remembers,
So why not just keep shooting? But it's cheap, it's lame,
and most importantly, it's never right.
Speaker 3 (25:27):
The Chiefs are going to be in the title game?
Speaker 1 (25:29):
Is anyone here when I disagree? I don't know if
they're going to win it or not. They're going to
be in it, They're probably going to be hosting it.
They will be there at the same time as always
in January. So whoever wants that other spot, good luck
for it.
Speaker 10 (25:38):
Yeah, KB, I know how you feel, Mike Gia and James,
how do you feel after? I mean, some people may
look at it and say, Okay, that was just maybe
one or two games, but they had three four games
before that of you know, subpoor or below expectation play.
Speaker 6 (25:50):
Are we high on the Chiefs after two games?
Speaker 2 (25:53):
I think the current state of the standings implies that
it's a wide open field. However, history would tell us
that don't mess with these guys. The longer the season,
the better for the chief So I'm not going to
bet again, for sure, Machie, But.
Speaker 3 (26:05):
I don't bet.
Speaker 5 (26:06):
I'm going to bring it back full circle.
Speaker 7 (26:08):
You talked about the Dodgers, You talked about Yohyo Tani.
Speaker 5 (26:10):
The Dodgers this season. Everybody thought they were going to
win one.
Speaker 7 (26:13):
Hundred and ten games, right not and at times they
were banged up greatly, especially on the mount during the season,
but they understood it's not about early in the regular season.
It's about peaking at the right time. Dodgers Chiefs handshake
right there.
Speaker 3 (26:26):
Here's a question.
Speaker 2 (26:27):
My mom watches every single baseball game played in the season.
She has the full package. She listens to the radio,
she sits in the stand, she keeps a book crazy
baseball fan. So I asked her what she thought of
the World Series matchup. She has Dodgers exhaustion. She's kind
of sick of seeing them just in that light. She's
kind of happy for Canada, is what she said, and
that she referenced back to the ninety three World Series
at the last time the Blue Jays were in it,
(26:48):
and it was right after the Twins won one. So
I wonder this about the Blue Jays representing an entire
population of baseball that like, oh, this is the feel
good story. Does anybody ping on the There might be
Chiefs exhaustion, but is there a feel good all their
side of the NFL?
Speaker 3 (27:04):
Allah the Blue.
Speaker 2 (27:05):
Jays making it to the World Series that you are
liking right now.
Speaker 3 (27:08):
In the NFL, Well, for me, it's got to be
the Colts.
Speaker 6 (27:10):
I think the coaches that feel good.
Speaker 10 (27:12):
You know, I don't think anybody expected them to be
where they are right now, number one seed in the
entire AFC. So if I really love the Chiefs, I
really I love Andy Reid. He's one of my favorite coaches.
I love what he does. But I would have to
choose the Colts. I want the Jets.
Speaker 7 (27:25):
Like there's a video going around of a Jets fan
who's just got just you could see his soul leaving
his body.
Speaker 3 (27:33):
In his eyes there's one video.
Speaker 7 (27:34):
There's like a thousand, there's one in particular that's making
the rounds. Really, I just I don't ever like I
got a root for a team. I know people bust
my chop because I'm from Philly. Like the Eagles won
the Super Bowl twice. While I was covering it, the
only thing that I was thinking was I got to
get down to the field because I got a job
to do. I got the game interviews to get done.
I really truly don't care. But I have so many
Jet fan friends that have suffered for so long, and
(27:56):
yesterday when I sent them immediately like your owner just
said a bunch, like the response.
Speaker 5 (28:03):
Is coming back.
Speaker 7 (28:04):
I feel for them so like I want that feel
good story. I want the Jets in the playoffs. I
want the Jets advancing in the playoffs. I want good
things for my friends.
Speaker 1 (28:11):
I Jets fan friends who like after week two, they
were looking at the draft like it was like it
was so early. They're so addicted to it. I was
hoping that the feel good story this year. I thought
it was gonna be the Raiders. I thought it had
been really cool that Pete came back and he's got
the old magic and Gino's very likable, and it's just
it's not gone well. The one that I do like,
(28:33):
and I know I keep talking about this team. I
really like what Sam Donald's doing right now. It's a
tough spot after tough spot for Sam Donald. I had
never met him before in my life. I get I
made a lot of football players. I met him last
February and he was like the coolest, friendliest, nicest athlete
you could ever meet. I'm really rooting for him, and
maybe not everybody.
Speaker 3 (28:52):
Is, but I don't care. He's playing great and it's
pretty cool.
Speaker 2 (28:55):
I think of the Patriots when I think of what's
going on there, and I don't know if it's like
a New England thing with the Toronto and the Blue
Jays or whatnot, but I think of what Drake May
is doing and the resurgence of Mike Graybill and the
presence there. But that to me has been to feel
good and how cool it would be years later when
it was the Jags that went to the AFC title
game and they were the one who just almost got
past the Patriots. What if the Pats have to go
(29:17):
to the Chiefs on AFC title game? That would be
really cool. Oh man, that would be major.
Speaker 6 (29:22):
Thanks fam me, thank you for going down this roll
with what that is? That was MAJA.
Speaker 14 (29:26):
The NFL Way to Play Awards are fueled by Gator Raiding.
They were created to recognize and reward players who use
proper playing techniques. I'm talking all levels, which includes high school.
This week's winner just gave his high schools brand new
which I might add as a sixty two million dollars stadium,
its first signature moment. For that, here's former Jets and
Dolphins quarterback and current high school football coach in Lexington, Kentucky,
(29:50):
Chad Pennington.
Speaker 15 (29:53):
This week's award winner is Tory Coughton from Newford High
School in Georgia. Tory is playing wide receiver down here
at the bottom of your screen.
Speaker 6 (30:01):
First of all, I love his stance.
Speaker 15 (30:02):
Got a great wide receiver stand, solid balance, ready to go.
He comes in motion here. He's going to run what
we call a rail route down the numbers. He really
attacks the defense with his approach with his speed.
Speaker 6 (30:13):
Coming on this rail route.
Speaker 15 (30:15):
There's two defenders that come off of the inside route
to approach Corey to make a play on it. And
then the finish is unbelievable. Big shout out to our
bigs upfront, our offensive line. They have three double kings
in past protection to give our quarterback a chance to
make this big time throw and obviously a big time
catch by Tory being able to go up in traffic,
(30:37):
make the play, make the catch, get flipped over in
the air, and still come down with the ball.
Speaker 6 (30:41):
That is certainly a way to play.
Speaker 15 (30:44):
Congratulation this great job, Toy.
Speaker 14 (30:47):
He might not have stuck the landing, but still a
terrific play. So in honor of that, the NFL Foundation
will the ward a three thousand dollars equipment grant through
USA Football to the Buford Wolves. Learn more about Nflway
to Play check out Playfootball dot NFL dot com. Get
to announce another winner right here next week.
Speaker 4 (31:05):
And while we stay here.
Speaker 14 (31:06):
Kyl and Mike g you're enough to head into the
booths some of the best calls from around the week
of Week seven GMFB staying right here.
Speaker 4 (31:26):
Good morning football.
Speaker 1 (31:32):
You are looking live at New York City, New York,
the media capital of the world from which Mike Garaffalo
and I broadcast today for the purpose of handing out
hardware to people who have excellence in media. There is
Troy Aikman into the booth making some notes and that
is the name of this segment. As Mike slides in effortlessly.
Speaker 3 (31:50):
What's up, Chris, how are you? Cris?
Speaker 5 (31:53):
It is not easy to do.
Speaker 7 (31:54):
Chris Collinsworth makes it look He makes a lot of
things look easy.
Speaker 3 (31:57):
He certainly does.
Speaker 1 (31:58):
Another person does too, and it's someone who's been decorated
in the segment many times.
Speaker 3 (32:02):
Kevin Harlan.
Speaker 1 (32:03):
Kevin Harlan is calling touchdowns for Broncos and the Giants.
And when you do broadcast as much as he does,
you have your go to words that really click for you.
Kevin Harlan is a big ricochet guy, and he hits
it three times.
Speaker 3 (32:15):
Taken away, mister Harlan.
Speaker 16 (32:17):
Second down in goal Toppens, a block to the end zone,
deflected and at Franklin get it on the ricochet touchdown Denver,
third and seventeen, and he'll cut.
Speaker 17 (32:28):
Up pass caught on the ricochet. It's crap here by
the galloping Johnson. He'll be chased on the play by Barren.
Didn't get in. He did touchdown forty one yard ricochet
touchdown reception taking it in ricochet is.
Speaker 3 (32:44):
A fun word to say. I like it.
Speaker 1 (32:45):
It's one of those words. It just rolls off the tongue.
It's like a skytaboo. I'd like to say that word.
And I like to say ricochet.
Speaker 7 (32:51):
You Ricochet guy, any thoughts in the movie Ricochet with
any thoughts?
Speaker 1 (32:55):
Denzel Washington young, hungry, Denzel Liftgow deplorable villain in that
But I love evil John Lithgow, and I.
Speaker 3 (33:02):
Love the song I Believe Ice. He had a song
called Ricochet.
Speaker 6 (33:06):
Yes, Yes, Yes.
Speaker 7 (33:07):
Next reminds me though of Mike Emrick when he used
to call hockey games. Here he ladles the puck into
the battles it.
Speaker 5 (33:11):
You know you had a bunchet.
Speaker 7 (33:12):
Someone wants County to use one hundred and fifty three
verbs in a game.
Speaker 5 (33:15):
One awesome, fantastic, the best update. Don't overlook the in
game up. I love the game up. I know it's
all here. I know you're watching on.
Speaker 7 (33:22):
The eighth, but we still need a good in game update.
And Adam Shine said, my guy got you. Mike Garafalo,
you asked for it, you got it.
Speaker 5 (33:31):
We got an update, Adam Shine.
Speaker 6 (33:33):
Johnny went to range at ports the Dolphins. This right
here is two a.
Speaker 3 (33:36):
Togo by Lois second pick of the game. Let's put
John Jenkins in a third touchdown of the game and literally,
as we speak, two.
Speaker 1 (33:45):
And through another pick, thirty one and six round, Thanks Miami.
Speaker 5 (33:48):
Back to you, Oh multitask, Oh good.
Speaker 7 (33:52):
One eye on the monitor of what you're seeing on
program and also the eye on what's happening over there.
Speaker 1 (33:57):
Great job, Adam talent, old school work ethic, Adam Shine.
You could sit there to the update and just read
your copy and then moving on.
Speaker 3 (34:03):
He is more titasking in the updates. That's how he's
doing whack a mole.
Speaker 1 (34:08):
And there could have been a fourth interception and Sean
would have got it.
Speaker 3 (34:11):
That's my man. What do we have next?
Speaker 6 (34:13):
We have?
Speaker 1 (34:13):
Oh, I can't wait for this one. Best graphics, Best graphics.
Shout out to the graphics truck everybody. Thursday Night Football
treats a Mike Tomlin quote about Brown's GM and Andrew Berry.
We saw that much publicized quote about Joe Flacco and
they turned it into a political ad an attack on
Andrew Berry for Mike Tomlin.
Speaker 3 (34:32):
Well done with this. Let's let's watch it.
Speaker 18 (34:34):
Mike Tomlin made it very clear wasn't happy that Andrew
Berry GM at Cleveland didn't make a lot of sense
to trade a quarterback you think enough of to make
your opening day starter, which he was in Cleveland to
a divisional opponent. So Mike not thrilled that Joe Flackel
was under center tonight and he was right.
Speaker 19 (34:56):
Twenty five or thirty six for two thirty seven and three.
Speaker 1 (34:59):
It's the little stuff where certain words are bolded like
personal because tis the season and right now we got
local elections coming on, mayoral elections and those things are running.
Amazon does an amazing job with that, all their graphics,
all their animations, excellent, excellent work.
Speaker 7 (35:13):
They also did a great job in the pregame show
with Ryan Fitzpatrick showing you how.
Speaker 5 (35:17):
You call two different plays for two different systems with
Joe Flacco.
Speaker 7 (35:21):
I thought Prime Video was really on their game last
week for the Thursday night broadcast. I'm Mike Garrifolo, and
I improved this message. Kyle loves him some big man
interception Sharth, and so does JJ Watt, who can't stop
gushing about Grover Stewart's big man pick.
Speaker 4 (35:38):
Herbert Pump knocked up in the air. Who's got it?
The Colts do big Man pick Crover Stewart? What a
slover doocker?
Speaker 19 (35:47):
Ian t big Man pick Grover Stewart defensive line interception,
knocks it up in the air to himself.
Speaker 3 (35:55):
He has got a lot of tape.
Speaker 19 (35:57):
He basically has casts on both rists, so he's catching
it with some paws, some off admits and uh, you
just defensive lineman interceptions make me happy.
Speaker 16 (36:08):
Awesome.
Speaker 7 (36:08):
Yeah, you know, usually it's a dback who's like, follow
me to the end zone.
Speaker 5 (36:11):
You got to catch up to him. In this case,
you know, didn't have to.
Speaker 1 (36:14):
A lot of times those defensive backs are hoping for
a lateral too because they want that to Yeah, that
wasn't happening. I just have to say, like JJ has
been fantastic this year. He's having a really good year,
and CBS has found something and he and Ian. For
JJ to have the football career he had and all
the things he have going on, for them to be
this good at broadcasting this fast is just incredible. It
shouldn't be fair, but you're doing it anyways. And a
(36:34):
guy's doing it for a long time. Kenny Albert just
a legend. You know, he's doing a long time because
he appreciates the old school and as Lucas, have a
sick made a kick watch what got made was the
connection between Kenny and have your sick and it's just perfect.
Speaker 3 (36:51):
He can do it better than me.
Speaker 4 (36:52):
Go however, shit ktch the ball. However, shit catch the ball.
Speaker 3 (36:57):
You need to be a lot older to get that reference.
Speaker 19 (36:59):
Shelton, I don't get it, but I believe you love.
Speaker 3 (37:05):
The film and says I don't get it.
Speaker 1 (37:06):
I always like when anyone admits they don't get every
reference ever, because we don't. That's nineteen sixty five court
John halet Check. Do you think that Kenny had that
locked and loaded like he knew the kicker's name was
sounded like halet Check and he had it ready.
Speaker 5 (37:18):
Yeah, because he came back like that. How long was
that field goal there is? That's say on your card.
Speaker 3 (37:22):
I don't know he had.
Speaker 7 (37:24):
Harsick had another field goal later in the game that
I believe was more dramatic and longer, and it's like
that would have been the great spot to.
Speaker 3 (37:30):
Really get after at it.
Speaker 7 (37:31):
He knew he couldn't get after it at that point,
but he wanted to make the reference, and you just
no guarantee there might not be another character.
Speaker 1 (37:36):
So I gotta get that Halicheck reference in absolutely laced.
Speaker 3 (37:39):
And now we're giving him an award. But what's next, Mike.
Speaker 5 (37:41):
I get it, I appreciate it. I love it. Now
for the best best technical hiccup?
Speaker 3 (37:46):
Oh, I know where you're going. This is great.
Speaker 6 (37:48):
I like this.
Speaker 5 (37:48):
Playing through the adversity. That's what you've got to do.
Speaker 7 (37:50):
Sometimes it doesn't go according to script, that doesn't go
according to plan.
Speaker 5 (37:54):
The Jets Panthers game. Chris Myers and Mark Schlereth for Fox.
Speaker 18 (38:00):
He shifted the NFL in rushing through six weeks.
Speaker 10 (38:02):
He totally played till the last couple of weeks when.
Speaker 18 (38:04):
He dominated all the football, running the ball so well,
scrimmage yards were outstanding.
Speaker 3 (38:09):
Let me tackle credit for getting.
Speaker 4 (38:11):
Their first Well, this is something I haven't seen.
Speaker 7 (38:12):
Okay, we're gonna get the right guard pulling and the
left guard pulling.
Speaker 18 (38:17):
This is what we call a mistake.
Speaker 16 (38:19):
Those guys knocking each other around a little bit.
Speaker 8 (38:22):
And is as good as they have been, and they
have been great.
Speaker 6 (38:26):
I love it.
Speaker 7 (38:27):
I mean, there was a game where Clyde Simmons blocked
the field goal for the Eagles for some.
Speaker 5 (38:31):
Reason, was not on TV.
Speaker 7 (38:33):
I listened to it on one of those old radios
that had the thing that went across it that my
parents had Meryl Reese on the call, and it sounded
exactly like that. And I'd imagine back in nineteen twenty
seven or whatever, it was the Gene Tunny, Jack Dempsey
fight sud Right, why have we gotta rail slumber knocker
hair and Jean Tunny's tunny.
Speaker 5 (38:50):
It's got Dempsey backed up against the.
Speaker 6 (38:51):
Rose, I know.
Speaker 3 (38:52):
And that's that's what I'm here, and I'm hearing caught.
Speaker 1 (38:54):
It back bright sounding breaks the pocket, that's a falling pass,
and that's a like each squirrel. I absolutely love that
they did that. Everything is so retro obsessed. It's always
the vintage you. I thought it was a vintage broadcast
where they were going to actually go.
Speaker 3 (39:08):
Back and do that.
Speaker 1 (39:09):
And what's perfect is that throwback to like nineteen thirty
five or whatever. That was the style of football the
Jets were playing on offense too, right, so there were
no forward passes either from the Jets. Well, I absolutely
adored it. Huge awards, and I know they were probably
really furious and frustrated and embarrassed that there.
Speaker 3 (39:26):
Were technical problems turn it.
Speaker 1 (39:27):
Into a good thing. You absolutely loved it, Mike. He
made a great reference. Best in segment movie reference. Bring
up the picture. I've heard we have a photograph of
this is not well.
Speaker 3 (39:38):
Yeah, baby, talk us through it, Mike.
Speaker 7 (39:40):
Come on, we're looking at Denzel with the nineties mustache
right there and lift Go.
Speaker 5 (39:44):
I don't remember this scene specifically though. All right, so
he's tied up. I see you Liftgao.
Speaker 1 (39:48):
You might think, oh, he's the geeky dad from Third
Rock or something like that. Lift Goo in the nineties
was some of the most horrible cliffhanger.
Speaker 3 (39:54):
He's a terrible villain in this movie.
Speaker 1 (39:57):
He's got a line, a line insult to someone's wife
that I can't even come close to saying on the air.
Speaker 3 (40:02):
It's unbelievable.
Speaker 1 (40:03):
Lift Gow great and obviously Denzel just coming into his prime.
I love a Ricochet reference. And that's that's into the boot.
Do we leave any other awards? I think that's it.
Speaker 3 (40:10):
No.
Speaker 7 (40:10):
I think, well, we've always got a few in the
cutting room floor because there's so many people that are
so great at what they do. You know what, go
out and do it again and you might be here
with us. In the booth next week NFL Week eight guests.
Speaker 1 (40:21):
Yes, coming up, Wait about ads, don't off, don't touch
that dial, let's end to the boat.
Speaker 2 (40:28):
We have to check in on the Pittsburgh Steelers. They've
been a fun watch recently. And let's just say the
vibe seem high in Pittsburgh because the off the fields
character building and team building is going great.
Speaker 17 (40:41):
What's up, Manglans means I'm with some people that don't
need any introduction here at night, the black and goal.
Speaker 14 (40:47):
Supporting the black and go at your pets and president
Pittsburgh Steelers.
Speaker 4 (40:51):
And they know exactly how to get this game started.
Speaker 5 (40:56):
It's a hockey night.
Speaker 4 (41:05):
It's the Pittsburgh Penguins.
Speaker 6 (41:06):
That's what they do. Before they dropped the park in Pittsburgh.
Speaker 2 (41:09):
That was Aaron Rodgers m company yelling the traditional hockey
thing that the dou it's really cool in Pittsburgh.
Speaker 3 (41:16):
All their team's pro teams are.
Speaker 14 (41:18):
Black and gold, which has a lot of you know exactly,
so that makes a lot of sense.
Speaker 10 (41:23):
We're just saying, that's the happiest that we've seen Aarons
Rogers looks the joyful that he looks at that guy.
Speaker 6 (41:28):
That's just he's happy to be with the gang. Happy
for him. It's good to see, Yeah.
Speaker 3 (41:34):
New York.
Speaker 7 (41:34):
I mentioned earlier in the program that I've shed my
Eagles fandom having grown up in Philadelphia because I covered
the NFL.
Speaker 5 (41:41):
I have maintained it for the other sports.
Speaker 7 (41:43):
I am a black and orange bleeding Flyer fans, and
I'm going to pull some jerseys over some heads there
and start.
Speaker 5 (41:53):
Work out.
Speaker 1 (41:54):
There's a great clip afterwards. I don't know if you
guys saw. The Steelers are down on the ice and
Rogers walks out there and Broderick Jones tackles him on
the ice from behind and puts him right into the
It's incredible. And then he pulls a sweat over and
punches him. It's really funny.
Speaker 3 (42:08):
And Siddy Crosby gets in there. Yeah, right, it's allowed
in hockey, it's allowed.
Speaker 5 (42:12):
It's allowed.
Speaker 4 (42:13):
That'd be fun.
Speaker 3 (42:13):
Shift change. Don't take your teammate down, but if you do, it's.
Speaker 6 (42:16):
All laughs and giggles.
Speaker 2 (42:18):
Well done, everybody, GMFB on a Wednesday, Happy Aaron Rodgers,
happy as a show is them. We'll be back Thursday
to look at Thursday Night Football.
