Unbelievably, after a four-year run, this is the last-ever incarnation of "The Rich Eisen Podcast." Frequently, in this business, shows like this don't end at the host's request or behest. Usually, shows named after the host come to an abrupt close when the host is shown the door by security while holding office belongings in a cardboard box. Thankfully, the reason why I'm shuttering this podcast after four wonderful years is because it's turning into a daily three-hour TV show airing on DirecTV's Audience Channel No. 239 and streaming live on the latest venture brought to you by NFL Media, the NFL Now app. NFL Now is also the home to the video archive of the show, which will also be available in audio podcast form on Podcast One as well as iTunes and virtually every other place you've been able to download this program over its lifespan. Best of all for our listeners, NFL Now is internationally available too. It's truly exciting news for your humble host and my podcast compadres Chris Law and Chris Brockman, who are traveling with the show's move to a bigger and broader platform. I started this podcast at the outset of the 2010 season because I thought there was a space in which to connect with the NFL Network fan base and have a conversation about the NFL and the entertainment world in one sitting. And I was rewarded with four years of stupendous football chatter involving fascinating figures from the gridiron and guests from across the TV, movie and music spectrum. Best yet, it did in fact get me closer to myriad football fans worldwide. I can not thank you enough for your passionate listenership. Please follow the show with us into the new horizon. We could not have done it without you. Thanks again and, as always, enjoy this listen.

(00:45):

Where Ry Jones? Jerry Jones did it? Houston Oilers number one?
(01:09):
Hello everyone, and thanks for joining us. I'm Richard Odsen.
I don't download many podcasts, but when I do, I
prefer the Rich Eyes and Podcast. Is your host? Rich? Hey, everybody,
and welcome to the final edition. Of the Rich Eyes
(01:31):
and podcast here on the NFL Media Podcast Dial. We
were the first ever one of these for the NFL
Media Group, and we are now sort of signing off
with this show. And there are words that I never
thought I would ever say, uh, you know, and the
fact that I'm saying it, I would always thought that
if I ever did, it would be it would be
(01:53):
more than just the melancholy that I feel right now.
But it's for a good reason, you know, as you
folks who have been downloading this podcast recently, No, we
are changing the show into a daily program three hours
a day between the hours of twelve and three Eastern time.
It's a television show, it's an audio show all in
(02:16):
one that's going to be aired on the Audience Network
on the direct TV channel to thirty nine Direct TV
Radio Dial Television Dial, and it's also going to be
available in the NFL's new app, streaming live on NFL now,
which is available internationally for all those wonderful international listeners
(02:37):
that have been listening to this show, and everybody out
there who has spent the four years listening to this
show and talking about it and tweeting about it and
telling your friends about it and and communicating with us
about what you've enjoyed. It means so much because we've
we've built it and built it and built it, and
(02:59):
now it's turning into something much bigger than it's ever been.
Available again on TV, there'll be a radio component to it.
The the audio podcast version will be available on podcast
one dot com. I know a lot of the folks
out there have been wondering how you can listen to
this show in a manner that you've been accustomed to
(03:21):
consuming it. Podcast one is going to be the new
distributor of the show in a podcast form. NFL now
will archive the show. The television version of it will
be archived on NFL now, So if you don't catch
it wherever you are on the globe between twelve and
three Eastern time, you can go to NFL now and
get it. So there's so many different ways of consuming
(03:44):
this show that is becoming so much bigger than it's
ever been. And that's why I'm getting a little dusty
in here. It's okay, Rich, You're allowed. It's your show.
It's really it's our show. It's your Show's kind I mean,
we're just we're just happy to be alone for the ride. Well,
we've been riding cotails for four years. Let's and look
where the ride has taken us. We're conducting this final
(04:05):
podcast from the new beautiful sort of uh library type setting,
this cool hip mahogany library type sets that they have
built the Direct DV people have built for this show's campus.
It's it's us, But is that what it is? Well,
(04:30):
I mean for those who were in l A or anywhere,
you guys are sitting in purple leg Yeah, I mean
just like any if anybody's ever been to a SOHO house.
And I know there's a lot of UK listeners as
well that there's like if it looks like a library bar,
which is what I wanted it to be, and they
built it which is a little different from the video
booth we were in with the shower curtain storage closet
(04:51):
a k a. Stage seven Studio sixty six from I
don't get like the side of the Red Zone studio
that was about forty degrees that we had to do
plush square feet on the Direct TV campus glass everyone.
The neat and the neat thing about it too is
again this was the first ever podcast because in two
thousand ten. I you know, listen, podcasts weren't weren't that big, right,
(05:16):
There was a handful the beginning, and I saw what,
you know, be very honest, I saw Bill Simmons was
doing and I even called him up to say, how
you know, what are you doing? How are you doing it?
Because it's an incredible platform and simmons Is podcast is
through the roof in terms of listeners and followship, and
I thought, maybe that's something that I could do and
(05:36):
do something that marries the NFL and the world of
entertainment since the NFL is a touchtone of our pop culture. Again,
they the most watched game that the NFL has is
stopped in the middle for a rock concert if we
consider Bruno Mars rock or a musical interlude Mars. I'm
not a fan, but he put on a great show
(05:56):
last year in what could have been freezing cold. He
raised his hand and said, okay, I'll do it in
twenty degree if that's what happened, and it ended up
being a nice day. The weather was not an issue.
I know, I was loved and that's again what what
what What we loved about the show is that it
allowed Timothy Old phant it allowed the guy that everybody
(06:17):
sees on Justified. It allows Sheriff Bullock from Deadwood, which
had a Deadwood hat. We have, by the way, on
our set here, it's just like a it's a pop
culture museum, the set that we have here. So it
allows folks like Timothy older Phant to talk about the
NFL in a manner that that maybe we talk about it,
and to go on an epic rant about how the
(06:37):
Chili Peppers weren't plugged in their air guitar ing their
halftime before. Although now that we're on live television, we
can't just allow people to curse as much as Timothy
older Fant did. He did set the record four years
mark we thought was untouched. Yeah, like it was almost
like the the Garrig streak that ripped in time. Yeah,
(07:00):
that's just the way my mother raised me. That was
one of the best lines. So, um, we're gonna try
and save that archive. Yes, hopefully we'll be able to
in because everybody who's who subscribes to the Rich Eyes
and podcast on iTunes needs to resubscribe on podcast one. Yeah,
so podcast one will be the new host of of
(07:21):
the podcast. So right now iTunes isn't even the host.
iTunes just has our podcast and they pick it up.
There's another site that hosts it. Podcast one is the
new host. You go to podcast one dot com and listen.
But if you have a connected device cell phone, tablet,
and it will be on iTunes, will be on Stitcher,
it will be on those other third party apps. So
in about a week's time, you're gonna have to research
(07:44):
the rich Eyes and show uh and resubscribe because you
will no longer be getting our show on a daily
basis if you just our subscribers. We gotta again not
to go on a Simmons like rant calling out management
on one of their own place. Please don't get suspended
this show that this new Johns and show me too
much to me, I'm not going to risk it. But
we do have to figure out a way to keep
(08:04):
these two nine shows that we've done over the last
four years somewhat alive and subscribe it able or absolutely
I will. I'll take that up the float chart. It
will definitely be kept alive, very good. So we got
that and it all starts October six, and then there's
gonna be soon to be a radio daily radio component.
If your list, if you're driving around in your car.
UM I heart radio app. Well, I mean, we don't know,
(08:27):
we don't know yet. We don't know what's going to be,
but it'll be somewhere. There'll be something that you can
go ahead and download and listen to UM on a
podcast one. There'll be something that you'll be able to
listen to live when that gets announced sometime in October,
and there will also be a way for you to
watch it on NFL Now or direct TV. And a
(08:48):
handful of roots sports. Pittsburgh is one of them. I
think Kansas City is another. There's and it's that's that's
growing as well, and Kansas City is is the heart
of the sports world. Stay up and watch that. I
didn't know. I didn't even know it was really going on.
You know, after the Sos kind of went in the tank,
I kind of tapped out and got into football mode.
(09:08):
You're gonna make fun of me for not being a
real fan. No, no, no, I'm not gonna do that. No.
What I'm saying is that, you know, I thought, because
your Patriots got boat raced by the Still depressed about that?
As four. To wrap up Week four, I tweeted at
Eric Stone Street. Yes, Um a good friend who appeared
on the podcast many times, and he was gonna appear
(09:28):
on this new show as well. That he's on a roll.
That the Chiefs boat rate, the boat boat raced the
Paths on Monday Night Football, the Royals win and on
Tuesday Night and the New Modern Family is Wednesday Night.
He's he's on a roll right now. And he tweeted
at me after that Monday Night game, which was sort
(09:49):
of guilty is charged. How the Monday night coverage post
Monday night media coverage of that destruction of New England.
The second worst loss the Patriots have suffered in the
Belichick era, the one that's their worst loss, turned out
to be something that they were as a badge of honor,
that thirty one shutout loss in the Super Bowl year
(10:13):
of what was that two thousand and three, right, I
think it was three. Yeah, started the season, released Lawyer
and then he went to the Bills, and they finished
the season beating the Bills by the same score and
then won the Super Bowl. But this this twenty seven
point disaster on Monday Night football. Three picks of Tom Brady, Um,
(10:33):
were two picks of Tom Brady turnovers, right, so it was.
It was beyond brutal. But stone Street pointed out that
everyone was talking about how the Patriots lost, and how
the Patriots looked lost, and how Tom Brady looks even
more lost behind a terrible offensive line and a defense
(10:54):
that can't stop anybody, blah blah blah, and nobody's talking
about how great Alex Smith looked, right, how great Jamal
Charles looked when everybody thought he might have a high
ankle sprain, and how the best number seven in the
tight end position out there was Travis Kelsey who looked
more like Gronkowski than Gronkowski does. Right next, I mean,
(11:16):
we didn't talk. No one was talking about now, of course,
and all due respect to Kansas City, but what do
you expect everyone to talk about, Like, Patriots are perennial
Super Bowl contenders, they got this coach, they got this quarterback,
they got that tight end, that organization, and they looked
that bad. What do you expect everyone to talk about? Well,
and that that's the whole point with the Chiefs, that
(11:36):
that that they need to beat Peyton Manning. When the
division started stringing together division titles with Alex Smith, with
Andy Reid, and you know, start removing from the active
list of stats the fact that the last starting quarterback
to win a playoff game for them was Joe Montana,
(11:57):
so they need to remove that from the active list.
Before you know, these conversations turned towards their greatness as
opposed to the team who were used to seeing have greatness.
Look the way they did and that was pretty They
lost to the Titans at home, so they didn't really
do anything yet this season to deserve national attention until
(12:18):
Monday night. Well, I spoke to a high ranking NFL
official who shall be nameless, saying that you have to
throw the first two weeks of an NFL season out
the door because with the way the preseason works now,
and the way training camp works now, and the way
that you practice because of the new collective bargaining agreement,
(12:41):
nobody really hits anybody, tackles anybody until the first week
of the season. So weeks one and two of the
regular season are akin to preseason weeks. That's how they
view that type of football. Do you think that helps
explain the Dallas Cowboys Week one performer? Perhaps yes, perhaps so.
(13:01):
And the fact that that Tony Romo was knocking off
the rust and the Marco Maury hadn't been hit and
put the ball on the turf, and we see how
great de Marco Maray has been. He as the leading
rusher in the NFL through the first four games of
the season. By far, he leads the league in that
My preseason prediction of Leshawn McCoy winning the rushing title
(13:22):
looks brutal, but not as brutal as Love You Smith
as my preseason coach of the year. That looks pretty
How about my preseason prediction for rushing champ of Adrian Peterson.
How about well, you know what, that is the worst
of That is the worst of them all, correct, because
at least Love You just came up with the the
the big upset win of the year and just proving
(13:46):
I listen, I didn't like the Josh McCown move from
the very beginning. I didn't understand it that that backup
quarterbacks or backup quarterbacks for a reason. Now, I granted
rich Gannon had a had a late career Super Bowl,
but we have seen a lot of veteran quarterbacks catch
fire towards the end of their career. Brat Johnson won
(14:09):
a Super Bowl in Tampa was he over thirty five
when the Bucks won the Super Bowl? Almost But that
goes back to the discussion we had in a couple
before where McCown one of four guys thirty five and
over starting this season, and Rees hasn't looked the same, Andy,
but you know it looks the same as Peyton Manning Man.
It's coming off of bye. There's just wonder coming off
of bye this week taking on one of the two
(14:31):
loan remaining undefeated teams in Arizona. Cardinals are in the
Rocky Mountains at three and oh, and it looks like
Carson Palmer's coming back. And the other undefeated team plays
on Sunday Night against the Patriots. Matt, I do not
have a big feeling. You should not. I don't because
last year the Bengals stopped Tom Brady consecutivety six consecutive
(14:52):
games with a touchdown pass until that game, and the
Patriots pass rush was non existent Monday night in Kansas City,
and the Bengals have yet to yield a sack of
Andy Daltons. And they're also coming off Remember all the
all the chatter in the offseason when Dalton got that
contract to when people are up in Arms and history,
and he took the franchise that has never been to
back to back playoffs. He's taken their three years in
(15:14):
a row. Now time to start giving Andy Dalton's credit.
Well again, it's the same thing we discussed about with
the Kansas City chatter. You gotta win in January. They
got to win in January, and and and again. Peyton
Manning is a perfect example of of this dynamic. He
is on the Mount Rushmore of quarterbacks. He is, without
a doubt, one of the greatest to ever lace them
(15:36):
up in the history of the game. And there are
tons of people who feel he has much left to prove,
who feel that he can never be concerned it considered
in the amount Rushmore of football because of the way
he's played in January. That applies to Peyton Manning, a
damn well applies to Andy Dolf. What's the conversation we
(15:58):
just had about the Chiefs. Why no one's up in
arm is about the Chiefs dominating New England. It's more
about New England's failures. If Cincinnati goes to New England
puts the bank thing. To quote you Rich on the Patriots,
We're gonna start talking about the Bengals and the Chiefs
in that regard, we'll see. I think the Bengals win
this week, but I think Denver takes down Arizona, and
(16:19):
I think the Bengals the last undefeated team in the
NFL this year, which would be a great start for them,
a great start for them, especially when you take a
look at how the Steelers are. We don't even know
who they are. They crushed Carolina and then come home
and they can't even get one single first down against
the Bucks to keep Mike Glennan off the field and
mcglennan rogers down the field with Bobby Rainy in there
(16:42):
instead of Doug Martin me as a Doug Martin fantasy
owners screaming at the screen. Screaming the screen. By the way,
in my fantasy leagues, I am one and three in
the Garland League and one two and one in the
High because we don't do we don't do fractions. Fractional
points don't really I won this week on a fractional
so I'm taking it. Damn well, you should, but I
(17:04):
we tied. I was down and in the Fishmonger League.
Just real quick, because as you know, we don't usually
talk about this stuff. It's like bad beats and poker.
It happens to everybody. Nobody wants to hear it. Thank
you exactly the same thing, same thing. Let me talk
about my kids, Let me talk about my bad beats
and poker. Let me talk about fantasy disasters, let me
talk about all of the things you could give a rats.
(17:25):
You know what about See I helped you out, But
I'm also getting ready for the new show. I can't curse.
There you go, mark that mark, mark the time code.
Here we go, or for old time's sake, just let it.
Let's let the latex goalie. So, uh, I was down
against U I had. I'm playing against the guy I
(17:48):
want to beat the most because he is the trash tog. Yeah,
he's the trash He's vitriol texting me all the time. Right.
Certainly when I started owing to he couldn't have been
happier about it. So he's got uh he's got um
two players and a bye this week. Okay, he's got
a tight end on a bye and he's got a
wide receiver on a buck. He picks up Larry Dennell
(18:09):
and Eddie Royal Royals five touchdowns. But he goes Larry Dennell,
and I decide, you know what, because he's got Kirk
Cousins too, I figure Eli Manning is going to throw
his usual picks right. The Giants offense, certainly this year
even has been good for at least a turnover or
(18:29):
two in the red zone, not just anywhere in the
red zone. I get the Redskins defense minus three. They
post Kirk Cousins at least was you know what with
the bed, so he had only five points. But Larry
Dennell went crazy at receptions in a game in the
end zone by a Giants tight end since Joe freaking Walton,
the former Jets coach where I didn't even remember playing
(18:52):
for the Giants back in sixty two. That's what this
lucky s ob one going against. Guess, but that's a
very good Sunday. I take the lead. He gets Sunday
Night Football with de Marco Murray thirty one points out
of him because we have a five point bonus for
hundred yards rushing. So I am down to going into
the Monday Night game. He has Julian Edeman, I have
(19:15):
Tom Brady and one pick after another after another turnover,
and we tied oh you know how I was still
up one with the Hussain Abdulla touchdown. Yeah, to go
for the pick six minus two that put me up one.
He got a garbage time point out of Julian Edelman
(19:35):
with garo him because they pulled Brady and if Brady
was the one who threw it you, it would have
been a door. It would have been the one point
Edelman would have got, would have given Brady one, and
that's how we tied. Wow. Right, so I'm one two
and one, but that made him the guy who wanted
to beat one one in two. He's tied two weeks
(19:55):
in a row. Have you ever heard of that? I
don't even know. How do we what do we do
bench points? Like? If if your starters time points exactly
and bye weeks, why should you be held accountable? Not
doing fraction points is kind of BS like, why wouldn't
you do it? I don't know. Guy in my league
this week had Peyton on a bye picked up Eli,
and he had picked up Larry Dennelle two weeks ago.
(20:18):
Eli and Larry Dennell on sixty plus points. Guys, crush
rush it. Yeah, so that's where I am in fantasy football.
The Raiders go ahead and fire their coach Dennis Allen.
They had him come back from London. They didn't, they didn't.
They didn't do to him what the Mets did Willie Randolph,
Remember they fired him at two in the morning in Anaheim.
(20:39):
The Mets were out playing the Angels. They fired him
in Southern California. What USC did the Lane Kiffin. They
let Lane come back, but fired him on the bus
at So they just let Dennis Allen come back, go
home and on the phone fired called him. Ian Rapp
report said that it was done over the phone, and
Mark Davis speak the day after said that they've just
(21:02):
exchanged voicemails. Unbelievable that they haven't. And Tony Sperrano is
the interim head coach. With everybody thinking bruten that they're
going to throw at a lot of money at John
Brood and have him. Didn't transitional lenses go out like that. Actually,
(21:22):
here's the issue with this, and you'll have to understand
that we'll keep this on tape moving forward for this
show that you were about to embark on. Now that
you are now going to be mostly on air talent,
you're going to have a lot of no you're going
to have a lot of producing responsibilities on this Rich
Eyes and show. You're gonna have that. You're gonna be
(21:43):
doing a lot, by the way, you're gonna be doing,
as you know, a lot of the pre interviews of
the celebrities who are coming in to be like a
regular talk show where you're gonna pre interview them and
you're gonna set come up with some good things to say.
But the things that you say, before you say them,
you need to know the facts. The facts. Tony Sperrano
(22:05):
had a grease not a fire, but a hot grease
incident years ago as a kid that messed with his eyesight.
So you are the idiot. Yes, you are the ahole.
So on this podcast, the final one, I leave you
with this form of advice moving forward, don't be the ahole.
(22:30):
Know what you're saying before you say it, just like
I knew that story because two years ago I said
something on Twitter. I said, with the transition lenses, it's
it's bright out, you know, it's it's dark and to
the hant his eyes his eyes don't handle. Yes, there
you go. Well, but Tony Sperranto, a lot of people
are wondering you know, how does he get another shot?
(22:52):
He does, he's the interim. I don't buy John Gruden
coming out of that Monday night booth gig. The amount
of money that he makes for not winning or losing
every single week is priceless. Go back to Sleepless because
he said something about how he was hearing you know,
Gruden and stuff, and I said what I said, just
that he hasn't lost the game in six years and
(23:13):
makes four to five million a year. He's gonna work
and he works probably twenty to twenty five hours a week.
He's gonna work a hundred and ten plus hours a
week for seven and nine million and have the stress.
Why why deal with it? Because these guys can't get
it out of them. They all can't get out of
their system. But don't we all think that Bill Coward
was going to come back. He might still, he might
(23:34):
still for the right gig. I don't know, for the
right gig, the right job. They all still have it
in him. I'm about you know, we're gonna wrap this
thing up shortly because I have to get to the
airport going to Green Bay. And the neat thing about
this studios, it's right next door to l a X.
It can be like a five minute drive to get
to the to the gate um. You know, Marryuchi, Steve
Maryucchi who as you know, it's just like Gruden where
(23:58):
he doesn't win or lose every week. He talks about football,
makes a nice living of it. He gets he's living
in California. He's got a beautiful wife, he's an empty nester.
He's living life and he, you know, the grind of coaching.
Doesn't miss that. But when he goes out to these
Thursday night games and he stands out there and he's
(24:21):
watching the game from the sidelines, he puts his hands
on his knees, he's leaning over, he's slapping. He's slapping.
He's slapping me. He's slapping the line judge in the butt.
You know, he's he's talking to these guys. He's mixing
it up. He's doing this. He's still doing it, you know,
and uh, he's still into it. These guys are still
(24:42):
in and they can't get out of their system. But yeah,
Green Bay and I'm hoping Teddy Bridgewater plays. I know
I might be down dating this, but for various reasons,
he's dynamic, he's great, he was limited in practice on
Wednesday on Wednesday with an ankle injury, and I don't
know if he's going to go. I hope he does
because it really gives the Vikings a better chance to win.
(25:04):
No offense to Christian Ponder. And also I don't I
don't know. I just forget how many times on the
past couple of Thursday nights I'm sitting there on Twitter
Thursday night seasons and everybody's tweeting at me, did you
see what Bridgewater just did for Louisville on the ESPN
Thursday Night game. He's used to playing on the under
the lights in a short week, and I think it
(25:27):
makes it a bigger and better game against Green Bay,
who I think is still gonna win anyway. And that
I talking about that real quick. Aaron Rodgers telling everyone
ever relaxed and then backing it up, that was big
time stuff. UM can ask you a question about you're
you're going to Lambeau and that's somewhere as a just
a die art football fan, it's on the bucket list.
(25:48):
I want to get there. Um, you you've been there
multiple times. I'm assuming Thursday fotball has been there, so
love great of course you feel like you're on hallowed ground.
It's incredible, of course it does. It's incredible. And our set,
our outdoor set is right next to the Vince Lombardi
statue outside the atrium. Come on buying stop and it's
nothing like it. Lambo is incredible. You know where you're
(26:10):
you're driving and you see the Mayer, the Kroger, the
Kmart and the stadium boom boom boom boom one after another.
It's markets and the fans they're you know, the fans
are incredible. Marrio, he knows somebody who has a house there.
You know, they live out they live out of town.
They're big Packer fans, and they they have a house.
I don't know who it is, but he clearly have
(26:30):
a lot of money. They live out of town, but
they own a house, and that they rent the house
out to college age kids to live in it, three
or four of them living in this house in their
own rooms. And then on football Sundays and weekends, the
landlord moves in, holds a party, big tailgate party, and
(26:51):
turns his tenants into the wait staff for his party.
What they're getting reduced rent. That's an amazing landlord. That
is what the land that is unbelievable. Live here, you
pay rent, but guess what, you're the help when I
come in from my from my party. By the way,
next year we go to Lambeau were the help for
the party there? Not great? They lived there, but the
(27:14):
landlord comes in and sorry, but you gotta find a
different place to live. And then you've got to come
to work and feed me, you know it, serve me
and pour the cocktail eight sundays a year. They're kicked
out of their house. That's amazing. I mean, you know,
that's the type of place where fans. Hotels are booked
every single weekend by packer fans who lived from out
(27:37):
of the country. Well in advance, they book hotels every
single weekend, and then when the schedule comes out, they
see what the away dates are and cancel the rooms
on those weekends and keep the ones for the home dates.
It's remarkable. There's really no other place like it. Yeah,
so I'm excited to go a few of my good
friends about it. So I gotta wrap this up so
(27:57):
I actually can make these flights. Um, so give me

(01:09):
Hello everyone, and thanks for joining us. I'm Richard Odsen.
I don't download many podcasts, but when I do, I
prefer the Rich Eyes and Podcast. Is your host? Rich? Hey, everybody,
and welcome to the final edition. Of the Rich Eyes
(01:31):
and podcast here on the NFL Media Podcast Dial. We
were the first ever one of these for the NFL
Media Group, and we are now sort of signing off
with this show. And there are words that I never
thought I would ever say, uh, you know, and the
fact that I'm saying it, I would always thought that
if I ever did, it would be it would be
(01:53):
more than just the melancholy that I feel right now.
But it's for a good reason, you know, as you
folks who have been downloading this podcast recently, No, we
are changing the show into a daily program three hours
a day between the hours of twelve and three Eastern time.
It's a television show, it's an audio show all in
(02:16):
one that's going to be aired on the Audience Network
on the direct TV channel to thirty nine Direct TV
Radio Dial Television Dial, and it's also going to be
available in the NFL's new app, streaming live on NFL now,
which is available internationally for all those wonderful international listeners
(02:37):
that have been listening to this show, and everybody out
there who has spent the four years listening to this
show and talking about it and tweeting about it and
telling your friends about it and and communicating with us
about what you've enjoyed. It means so much because we've
we've built it and built it and built it, and
(02:59):
now it's turning into something much bigger than it's ever been.
Available again on TV, there'll be a radio component to it.
The the audio podcast version will be available on podcast
one dot com. I know a lot of the folks
out there have been wondering how you can listen to
this show in a manner that you've been accustomed to
(03:21):
consuming it. Podcast one is going to be the new
distributor of the show in a podcast form. NFL now
will archive the show. The television version of it will
be archived on NFL now, So if you don't catch
it wherever you are on the globe between twelve and
three Eastern time, you can go to NFL now and
get it. So there's so many different ways of consuming
(03:44):
this show that is becoming so much bigger than it's
ever been. And that's why I'm getting a little dusty
in here. It's okay, Rich, You're allowed. It's your show.
It's really it's our show. It's your Show's kind I mean,
we're just we're just happy to be alone for the ride. Well,
we've been riding cotails for four years. Let's and look
where the ride has taken us. We're conducting this final
(04:05):
podcast from the new beautiful sort of uh library type setting,
this cool hip mahogany library type sets that they have
built the Direct DV people have built for this show's campus.
It's it's us, But is that what it is? Well,
(04:30):
I mean for those who were in l A or anywhere,
you guys are sitting in purple leg Yeah, I mean
just like any if anybody's ever been to a SOHO house.
And I know there's a lot of UK listeners as
well that there's like if it looks like a library bar,
which is what I wanted it to be, and they
built it which is a little different from the video
booth we were in with the shower curtain storage closet
(04:51):
a k a. Stage seven Studio sixty six from I
don't get like the side of the Red Zone studio
that was about forty degrees that we had to do
plush square feet on the Direct TV campus glass everyone.
The neat and the neat thing about it too is
again this was the first ever podcast because in two
thousand ten. I you know, listen, podcasts weren't weren't that big, right,
(05:16):
There was a handful the beginning, and I saw what,
you know, be very honest, I saw Bill Simmons was
doing and I even called him up to say, how
you know, what are you doing? How are you doing it?
Because it's an incredible platform and simmons Is podcast is
through the roof in terms of listeners and followship, and
I thought, maybe that's something that I could do and
(05:36):
do something that marries the NFL and the world of
entertainment since the NFL is a touchtone of our pop culture. Again,
they the most watched game that the NFL has is
stopped in the middle for a rock concert if we
consider Bruno Mars rock or a musical interlude Mars. I'm
not a fan, but he put on a great show
(05:56):
last year in what could have been freezing cold. He
raised his hand and said, okay, I'll do it in
twenty degree if that's what happened, and it ended up
being a nice day. The weather was not an issue.
I know, I was loved and that's again what what
what What we loved about the show is that it
allowed Timothy Old phant it allowed the guy that everybody
(06:17):
sees on Justified. It allows Sheriff Bullock from Deadwood, which
had a Deadwood hat. We have, by the way, on
our set here, it's just like a it's a pop
culture museum, the set that we have here. So it
allows folks like Timothy older Phant to talk about the
NFL in a manner that that maybe we talk about it,
and to go on an epic rant about how the
(06:37):
Chili Peppers weren't plugged in their air guitar ing their
halftime before. Although now that we're on live television, we
can't just allow people to curse as much as Timothy
older Fant did. He did set the record four years
mark we thought was untouched. Yeah, like it was almost
like the the Garrig streak that ripped in time. Yeah,
(07:00):
that's just the way my mother raised me. That was
one of the best lines. So, um, we're gonna try
and save that archive. Yes, hopefully we'll be able to
in because everybody who's who subscribes to the Rich Eyes
and podcast on iTunes needs to resubscribe on podcast one. Yeah,
so podcast one will be the new host of of
(07:21):
the podcast. So right now iTunes isn't even the host.
iTunes just has our podcast and they pick it up.
There's another site that hosts it. Podcast one is the
new host. You go to podcast one dot com and listen.
But if you have a connected device cell phone, tablet,
and it will be on iTunes, will be on Stitcher,
it will be on those other third party apps. So
in about a week's time, you're gonna have to research
(07:44):
the rich Eyes and show uh and resubscribe because you
will no longer be getting our show on a daily
basis if you just our subscribers. We gotta again not
to go on a Simmons like rant calling out management
on one of their own place. Please don't get suspended
this show that this new Johns and show me too
much to me, I'm not going to risk it. But
we do have to figure out a way to keep
(08:04):
these two nine shows that we've done over the last
four years somewhat alive and subscribe it able or absolutely
I will. I'll take that up the float chart. It
will definitely be kept alive, very good. So we got
that and it all starts October six, and then there's
gonna be soon to be a radio daily radio component.
If your list, if you're driving around in your car.
UM I heart radio app. Well, I mean, we don't know,
(08:27):
we don't know yet. We don't know what's going to be,
but it'll be somewhere. There'll be something that you can
go ahead and download and listen to UM on a
podcast one. There'll be something that you'll be able to
listen to live when that gets announced sometime in October,
and there will also be a way for you to
watch it on NFL Now or direct TV. And a
(08:48):
handful of roots sports. Pittsburgh is one of them. I
think Kansas City is another. There's and it's that's that's
growing as well, and Kansas City is is the heart
of the sports world. Stay up and watch that. I
didn't know. I didn't even know it was really going on.
You know, after the Sos kind of went in the tank,
I kind of tapped out and got into football mode.
(09:08):
You're gonna make fun of me for not being a
real fan. No, no, no, I'm not gonna do that. No.
What I'm saying is that, you know, I thought, because
your Patriots got boat raced by the Still depressed about that?
As four. To wrap up Week four, I tweeted at
Eric Stone Street. Yes, Um a good friend who appeared
on the podcast many times, and he was gonna appear
(09:28):
on this new show as well. That he's on a roll.
That the Chiefs boat rate, the boat boat raced the
Paths on Monday Night Football, the Royals win and on
Tuesday Night and the New Modern Family is Wednesday Night.
He's he's on a roll right now. And he tweeted
at me after that Monday Night game, which was sort
(09:49):
of guilty is charged. How the Monday night coverage post
Monday night media coverage of that destruction of New England.
The second worst loss the Patriots have suffered in the
Belichick era, the one that's their worst loss, turned out
to be something that they were as a badge of honor,
that thirty one shutout loss in the Super Bowl year
(10:13):
of what was that two thousand and three, right, I
think it was three. Yeah, started the season, released Lawyer
and then he went to the Bills, and they finished
the season beating the Bills by the same score and
then won the Super Bowl. But this this twenty seven
point disaster on Monday Night football. Three picks of Tom Brady, Um,
(10:33):
were two picks of Tom Brady turnovers, right, so it was.
It was beyond brutal. But stone Street pointed out that
everyone was talking about how the Patriots lost, and how
the Patriots looked lost, and how Tom Brady looks even
more lost behind a terrible offensive line and a defense
(10:54):
that can't stop anybody, blah blah blah, and nobody's talking
about how great Alex Smith looked, right, how great Jamal
Charles looked when everybody thought he might have a high
ankle sprain, and how the best number seven in the
tight end position out there was Travis Kelsey who looked
more like Gronkowski than Gronkowski does. Right next, I mean,
(11:16):
we didn't talk. No one was talking about now, of course,
and all due respect to Kansas City, but what do
you expect everyone to talk about, Like, Patriots are perennial
Super Bowl contenders, they got this coach, they got this quarterback,
they got that tight end, that organization, and they looked
that bad. What do you expect everyone to talk about? Well,
and that that's the whole point with the Chiefs, that
(11:36):
that that they need to beat Peyton Manning. When the
division started stringing together division titles with Alex Smith, with
Andy Reid, and you know, start removing from the active
list of stats the fact that the last starting quarterback
to win a playoff game for them was Joe Montana,
(11:57):
so they need to remove that from the active list.
Before you know, these conversations turned towards their greatness as
opposed to the team who were used to seeing have greatness.
Look the way they did and that was pretty They
lost to the Titans at home, so they didn't really
do anything yet this season to deserve national attention until
(12:18):
Monday night. Well, I spoke to a high ranking NFL
official who shall be nameless, saying that you have to
throw the first two weeks of an NFL season out
the door because with the way the preseason works now,
and the way training camp works now, and the way
that you practice because of the new collective bargaining agreement,
(12:41):
nobody really hits anybody, tackles anybody until the first week
of the season. So weeks one and two of the
regular season are akin to preseason weeks. That's how they
view that type of football. Do you think that helps
explain the Dallas Cowboys Week one performer? Perhaps yes, perhaps so.
(13:01):
And the fact that that Tony Romo was knocking off
the rust and the Marco Maury hadn't been hit and
put the ball on the turf, and we see how
great de Marco Maray has been. He as the leading
rusher in the NFL through the first four games of
the season. By far, he leads the league in that
My preseason prediction of Leshawn McCoy winning the rushing title
(13:22):
looks brutal, but not as brutal as Love You Smith
as my preseason coach of the year. That looks pretty
How about my preseason prediction for rushing champ of Adrian Peterson.
How about well, you know what, that is the worst
of That is the worst of them all, correct, because
at least Love You just came up with the the
the big upset win of the year and just proving
(13:46):
I listen, I didn't like the Josh McCown move from
the very beginning. I didn't understand it that that backup
quarterbacks or backup quarterbacks for a reason. Now, I granted
rich Gannon had a had a late career Super Bowl,
but we have seen a lot of veteran quarterbacks catch
fire towards the end of their career. Brat Johnson won
(14:09):
a Super Bowl in Tampa was he over thirty five
when the Bucks won the Super Bowl? Almost But that
goes back to the discussion we had in a couple
before where McCown one of four guys thirty five and
over starting this season, and Rees hasn't looked the same, Andy,
but you know it looks the same as Peyton Manning Man.
It's coming off of bye. There's just wonder coming off
of bye this week taking on one of the two
(14:31):
loan remaining undefeated teams in Arizona. Cardinals are in the
Rocky Mountains at three and oh, and it looks like
Carson Palmer's coming back. And the other undefeated team plays
on Sunday Night against the Patriots. Matt, I do not
have a big feeling. You should not. I don't because
last year the Bengals stopped Tom Brady consecutivety six consecutive
(14:52):
games with a touchdown pass until that game, and the
Patriots pass rush was non existent Monday night in Kansas City,
and the Bengals have yet to yield a sack of
Andy Daltons. And they're also coming off Remember all the
all the chatter in the offseason when Dalton got that
contract to when people are up in Arms and history,
and he took the franchise that has never been to
back to back playoffs. He's taken their three years in
(15:14):
a row. Now time to start giving Andy Dalton's credit.
Well again, it's the same thing we discussed about with
the Kansas City chatter. You gotta win in January. They
got to win in January, and and and again. Peyton
Manning is a perfect example of of this dynamic. He
is on the Mount Rushmore of quarterbacks. He is, without
a doubt, one of the greatest to ever lace them
(15:36):
up in the history of the game. And there are
tons of people who feel he has much left to prove,
who feel that he can never be concerned it considered
in the amount Rushmore of football because of the way
he's played in January. That applies to Peyton Manning, a
damn well applies to Andy Dolf. What's the conversation we
(15:58):
just had about the Chiefs. Why no one's up in
arm is about the Chiefs dominating New England. It's more
about New England's failures. If Cincinnati goes to New England
puts the bank thing. To quote you Rich on the Patriots,
We're gonna start talking about the Bengals and the Chiefs
in that regard, we'll see. I think the Bengals win
this week, but I think Denver takes down Arizona, and
(16:19):
I think the Bengals the last undefeated team in the
NFL this year, which would be a great start for them,
a great start for them, especially when you take a
look at how the Steelers are. We don't even know
who they are. They crushed Carolina and then come home
and they can't even get one single first down against
the Bucks to keep Mike Glennan off the field and
mcglennan rogers down the field with Bobby Rainy in there
(16:42):
instead of Doug Martin me as a Doug Martin fantasy
owners screaming at the screen. Screaming the screen. By the way,
in my fantasy leagues, I am one and three in
the Garland League and one two and one in the
High because we don't do we don't do fractions. Fractional
points don't really I won this week on a fractional
so I'm taking it. Damn well, you should, but I
(17:04):
we tied. I was down and in the Fishmonger League.
Just real quick, because as you know, we don't usually
talk about this stuff. It's like bad beats and poker.
It happens to everybody. Nobody wants to hear it. Thank
you exactly the same thing, same thing. Let me talk
about my kids, Let me talk about my bad beats
and poker. Let me talk about fantasy disasters, let me
talk about all of the things you could give a rats.
(17:25):
You know what about See I helped you out, But
I'm also getting ready for the new show. I can't curse.
There you go, mark that mark, mark the time code.
Here we go, or for old time's sake, just let it.
Let's let the latex goalie. So, uh, I was down
against U I had. I'm playing against the guy I
(17:48):
want to beat the most because he is the trash tog. Yeah,
he's the trash He's vitriol texting me all the time. Right.
Certainly when I started owing to he couldn't have been
happier about it. So he's got uh he's got um
two players and a bye this week. Okay, he's got
a tight end on a bye and he's got a
wide receiver on a buck. He picks up Larry Dennell
(18:09):
and Eddie Royal Royals five touchdowns. But he goes Larry Dennell,
and I decide, you know what, because he's got Kirk
Cousins too, I figure Eli Manning is going to throw
his usual picks right. The Giants offense, certainly this year
even has been good for at least a turnover or
(18:29):
two in the red zone, not just anywhere in the
red zone. I get the Redskins defense minus three. They
post Kirk Cousins at least was you know what with
the bed, so he had only five points. But Larry
Dennell went crazy at receptions in a game in the
end zone by a Giants tight end since Joe freaking Walton,
the former Jets coach where I didn't even remember playing
(18:52):
for the Giants back in sixty two. That's what this
lucky s ob one going against. Guess, but that's a
very good Sunday. I take the lead. He gets Sunday
Night Football with de Marco Murray thirty one points out
of him because we have a five point bonus for
hundred yards rushing. So I am down to going into
the Monday Night game. He has Julian Edeman, I have
(19:15):
Tom Brady and one pick after another after another turnover,
and we tied oh you know how I was still
up one with the Hussain Abdulla touchdown. Yeah, to go
for the pick six minus two that put me up one.
He got a garbage time point out of Julian Edelman
(19:35):
with garo him because they pulled Brady and if Brady
was the one who threw it you, it would have
been a door. It would have been the one point
Edelman would have got, would have given Brady one, and
that's how we tied. Wow. Right, so I'm one two
and one, but that made him the guy who wanted
to beat one one in two. He's tied two weeks
(19:55):
in a row. Have you ever heard of that? I
don't even know. How do we what do we do
bench points? Like? If if your starters time points exactly
and bye weeks, why should you be held accountable? Not
doing fraction points is kind of BS like, why wouldn't
you do it? I don't know. Guy in my league
this week had Peyton on a bye picked up Eli,
and he had picked up Larry Dennelle two weeks ago.
(20:18):
Eli and Larry Dennell on sixty plus points. Guys, crush
rush it. Yeah, so that's where I am in fantasy football.
The Raiders go ahead and fire their coach Dennis Allen.
They had him come back from London. They didn't, they didn't.
They didn't do to him what the Mets did Willie Randolph,
Remember they fired him at two in the morning in Anaheim.
(20:39):
The Mets were out playing the Angels. They fired him
in Southern California. What USC did the Lane Kiffin. They
let Lane come back, but fired him on the bus
at So they just let Dennis Allen come back, go
home and on the phone fired called him. Ian Rapp
report said that it was done over the phone, and
Mark Davis speak the day after said that they've just
(21:02):
exchanged voicemails. Unbelievable that they haven't. And Tony Sperrano is
the interim head coach. With everybody thinking bruten that they're
going to throw at a lot of money at John
Brood and have him. Didn't transitional lenses go out like that. Actually,
(21:22):
here's the issue with this, and you'll have to understand
that we'll keep this on tape moving forward for this
show that you were about to embark on. Now that
you are now going to be mostly on air talent,
you're going to have a lot of no you're going
to have a lot of producing responsibilities on this Rich
Eyes and show. You're gonna have that. You're gonna be
(21:43):
doing a lot, by the way, you're gonna be doing,
as you know, a lot of the pre interviews of
the celebrities who are coming in to be like a
regular talk show where you're gonna pre interview them and
you're gonna set come up with some good things to say.
But the things that you say, before you say them,
you need to know the facts. The facts. Tony Sperrano
(22:05):
had a grease not a fire, but a hot grease
incident years ago as a kid that messed with his eyesight.
So you are the idiot. Yes, you are the ahole.
So on this podcast, the final one, I leave you
with this form of advice moving forward, don't be the ahole.
(22:30):
Know what you're saying before you say it, just like
I knew that story because two years ago I said
something on Twitter. I said, with the transition lenses, it's
it's bright out, you know, it's it's dark and to
the hant his eyes his eyes don't handle. Yes, there
you go. Well, but Tony Sperranto, a lot of people
are wondering you know, how does he get another shot?
(22:52):
He does, he's the interim. I don't buy John Gruden
coming out of that Monday night booth gig. The amount
of money that he makes for not winning or losing
every single week is priceless. Go back to Sleepless because
he said something about how he was hearing you know,
Gruden and stuff, and I said what I said, just
that he hasn't lost the game in six years and
(23:13):
makes four to five million a year. He's gonna work
and he works probably twenty to twenty five hours a week.
He's gonna work a hundred and ten plus hours a
week for seven and nine million and have the stress.
Why why deal with it? Because these guys can't get
it out of them. They all can't get out of
their system. But don't we all think that Bill Coward
was going to come back. He might still, he might
(23:34):
still for the right gig. I don't know, for the
right gig, the right job. They all still have it
in him. I'm about you know, we're gonna wrap this
thing up shortly because I have to get to the
airport going to Green Bay. And the neat thing about
this studios, it's right next door to l a X.
It can be like a five minute drive to get
to the to the gate um. You know, Marryuchi, Steve
Maryucchi who as you know, it's just like Gruden where
(23:58):
he doesn't win or lose every week. He talks about football,
makes a nice living of it. He gets he's living
in California. He's got a beautiful wife, he's an empty nester.
He's living life and he, you know, the grind of coaching.
Doesn't miss that. But when he goes out to these
Thursday night games and he stands out there and he's
(24:21):
watching the game from the sidelines, he puts his hands
on his knees, he's leaning over, he's slapping. He's slapping.
He's slapping me. He's slapping the line judge in the butt.
You know, he's he's talking to these guys. He's mixing
it up. He's doing this. He's still doing it, you know,
and uh, he's still into it. These guys are still
(24:42):
in and they can't get out of their system. But yeah,
Green Bay and I'm hoping Teddy Bridgewater plays. I know
I might be down dating this, but for various reasons,
he's dynamic, he's great, he was limited in practice on
Wednesday on Wednesday with an ankle injury, and I don't
know if he's going to go. I hope he does
because it really gives the Vikings a better chance to win.
(25:04):
No offense to Christian Ponder. And also I don't I
don't know. I just forget how many times on the
past couple of Thursday nights I'm sitting there on Twitter
Thursday night seasons and everybody's tweeting at me, did you
see what Bridgewater just did for Louisville on the ESPN
Thursday Night game. He's used to playing on the under
the lights in a short week, and I think it
(25:27):
makes it a bigger and better game against Green Bay,
who I think is still gonna win anyway. And that
I talking about that real quick. Aaron Rodgers telling everyone
ever relaxed and then backing it up, that was big
time stuff. UM can ask you a question about you're
you're going to Lambeau and that's somewhere as a just
a die art football fan, it's on the bucket list.
(25:48):
I want to get there. Um, you you've been there
multiple times. I'm assuming Thursday fotball has been there, so
love great of course you feel like you're on hallowed ground.
It's incredible, of course it does. It's incredible. And our set,
our outdoor set is right next to the Vince Lombardi
statue outside the atrium. Come on buying stop and it's
nothing like it. Lambo is incredible. You know where you're
(26:10):
you're driving and you see the Mayer, the Kroger, the
Kmart and the stadium boom boom boom boom one after another.
It's markets and the fans they're you know, the fans
are incredible. Marrio, he knows somebody who has a house there.
You know, they live out they live out of town.
They're big Packer fans, and they they have a house.
I don't know who it is, but he clearly have
(26:30):
a lot of money. They live out of town, but
they own a house, and that they rent the house
out to college age kids to live in it, three
or four of them living in this house in their
own rooms. And then on football Sundays and weekends, the
landlord moves in, holds a party, big tailgate party, and
(26:51):
turns his tenants into the wait staff for his party.
What they're getting reduced rent. That's an amazing landlord. That
is what the land that is unbelievable. Live here, you
pay rent, but guess what, you're the help when I
come in from my from my party. By the way,
next year we go to Lambeau were the help for
the party there? Not great? They lived there, but the
(27:14):
landlord comes in and sorry, but you gotta find a
different place to live. And then you've got to come
to work and feed me, you know it, serve me
and pour the cocktail eight sundays a year. They're kicked
out of their house. That's amazing. I mean, you know,
that's the type of place where fans. Hotels are booked
every single weekend by packer fans who lived from out
(27:37):
of the country. Well in advance, they book hotels every
single weekend, and then when the schedule comes out, they
see what the away dates are and cancel the rooms
on those weekends and keep the ones for the home dates.
It's remarkable. There's really no other place like it. Yeah,
so I'm excited to go a few of my good
friends about it. So I gotta wrap this up so
(27:57):
I actually can make these flights. Um, so give me
