Speaker 1: Good Morning Football is the production of the NFL in
Speaker 1: partnership with iHeartRadio.
Speaker 2: Good Morning Football.
Speaker 3: That's right, this is Good Morning Football. We have brought
Speaker 3: to you by Old Trapper Beech Jurkey live in LA
Speaker 3: and New York. As always, It's Thursday, January twenty third.
Speaker 3: Championship games this weekend. Here's off Our Bush Vamilla. There's
Speaker 3: Pretty Schrager, There's Kyle Brant. I'm Jamie Rdall. Of course,
Speaker 3: joy and elation setting in to find out which two
Speaker 3: teams will be going to New Orleans in a couple
Speaker 3: of weeks. Also some anxiety and sweating the fact that
Speaker 3: there is no football to be played in March, in
Speaker 3: April and May and June.
Speaker 2: Peter, I just.
Speaker 3: Want to check do Schrager's NFL Trivia continue on in
Speaker 3: the postseason, because we have it today and I need
Speaker 3: just like a light at the end of the tunnel.
Speaker 2: No, we keep going.
Speaker 4: We're fifty two weeks a year, Jay, so don't worry.
Speaker 5: There will be.
Speaker 4: Trivia every single week. We will be doing Jaguars backup
Speaker 4: tight Ends in June for trivia on this show on Thursday,
Speaker 4: So just be ready.
Speaker 6: I'm ready for Blake Bortle Jaguars or something like that.
Speaker 3: Yes, all right, but until then we will address what's
Speaker 3: happening this weekend.
Speaker 2: Of course.
Speaker 3: Plus we have a really cool announcement to be made
Speaker 3: on the show in the second hour, so stay tuned
Speaker 3: here in GMFP. First, though, a big rematch on Sunday
Speaker 3: is Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills head into Arrowhead
Speaker 3: to take on Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs for, as
Speaker 3: you know, a chance to play in the Super Bowl.
Speaker 3: Both quarterbacks talked about this upcoming matchup this time around.
Speaker 7: I mean, I think it's it's like a division game.
Speaker 7: I feel like we've played them just as much as
Speaker 7: we've played the guys in our division, and you know
Speaker 7: with that comes familiarity, new wrinkles here and there throughout
Speaker 7: the game. But you know, they know who we are,
Speaker 7: we know who they are, and it literally just comes
Speaker 7: down to who executes well on Sunday.
Speaker 8: It's just two really good football teams going up against
Speaker 8: each other. They have great players every level and both
Speaker 8: sides of the ball, and they're will coached and so
Speaker 8: when you play great football teams like that, it kind
Speaker 8: of usually ends with kind of that split type of
Speaker 8: deal there. And so we've been able to beat them
Speaker 8: in the playoffs and they've gone us in the regular season.
Speaker 8: But if you look at the games, every game is closed,
Speaker 8: so it just comes down to a play here there
Speaker 8: that kind of usually, uh, that makes an impact on
Speaker 8: the outcome.
Speaker 3: Did anyone else's brain go to, man, what if the
Speaker 3: Bills and the Chiefs were in the same division. That
Speaker 3: would be kind of awesome. But this is what we
Speaker 3: have to deal with. But one regular season matchup and
Speaker 3: then one that feels inevitable in the postseason. Peter, what
Speaker 3: is the one thing that you are watching ahead of
Speaker 3: this AFC title game?
Speaker 2: It might sound obvious.
Speaker 4: I'm looking at the quarterbacks, and I'm looking at my Homes,
Speaker 4: and I'm looking at Alan and of course they're rich
Speaker 4: history to get there. And you know, we've always done
Speaker 4: the basketball analogy here on Good Morning Football, and we said, well,
Speaker 4: now at this point, Mahomes, you know, he's the Michael Jordan,
Speaker 4: and then you had Barkley and Malone and Ewing and
Speaker 4: of course Gary Payton and Sean Kemp in that era,
Speaker 4: and they just couldn't get past them. I had Mike Tarico,
Speaker 4: the legendary voice of NBC Sports on my podcast this week,
Speaker 4: and he made a really good analogy that wasn't the
Speaker 4: basketball analogy, and I thought this was even better.
Speaker 2: He said, with.
Speaker 4: Lamar, with Burrow, with Allen, and of course you have
Speaker 4: Mahomes up here. You have this group, and it's not
Speaker 4: the basketball analogy. Patrick Mahomes is Tiger Woods. Patrick Mahomes
Speaker 4: is Tiger Woods. And if you've got Mahomes in his
Speaker 4: Sunday Red as Tiger in that era, these other guys
Speaker 4: are Mickelson, you know, Phil always, Lefty was always in
Speaker 4: the mix, Ernie Els always right.
Speaker 2: There, and it's VJ. Singh. Sure, and in any other
Speaker 2: era those guys would have been the faces of the sport.
Speaker 4: But for two hundred and eighty one straight days, Tiger
Speaker 4: Woods was the guy. That's how I feel with Patrick Mahomes, not.
Speaker 2: Only in the AFC but in the NFL right now.
Speaker 4: In any other era, this could be Josh Allen's time,
Speaker 4: and we look back and say, well, it was Montana,
Speaker 4: it was Brady, and it was Josh Allen, or it
Speaker 4: could have been Lamar's three MVPs. He's that guy from
Speaker 4: this era. This is Mahomes' era. Who's gonna knock off Tiger.
Speaker 4: Who's gonna knock off Tiger when he's in his Sunday Red,
Speaker 4: Who's gonna knock off Tiger in his building, in his backyard,
Speaker 4: when he's at his most comfortable. That's how I look
Speaker 4: at this, and I think Tarika was great with it.
Speaker 2: For years, it was Brady, it was Brady.
Speaker 4: It was Brady, and then one day on a Sunday
Speaker 4: in six Peyton Manning woke up and it was no
Speaker 4: longer going to be Brady. He finally slayed the dragon.
Speaker 4: He did it at home home in the Dome in
Speaker 4: an AFC championship game, and they came.
Speaker 2: Back from a big deficit and he finally got pats.
Speaker 4: Guys, that's Dan Klecko right there. That's who we're showing.
Speaker 4: And of course that's our guy, big Dominic Rhodes and
Speaker 4: the fumble recovery there. It was an epic win. Marlon
Speaker 4: Jackson puts it away. But Brady eventually went down and
Speaker 4: at that game he had to shake Peyton's hand, and
Speaker 4: it wasn't a passing of the torch per se, because
Speaker 4: Brady would get another and another and another.
Speaker 2: But Manning did it. It was on his resume.
Speaker 4: He got past Brady, and one of these guys at
Speaker 4: some point one of these years is gonna have to
Speaker 4: get by Tiger Woods, and that's Patrick Mahomes. I look
Speaker 4: at the quarterbacks, I look at Josh, I look at Patrick,
Speaker 4: and if.
Speaker 2: It wasn't gonna be Burrow this year, and it wasn't
Speaker 2: gonna be Lamar Josh Allen, go be that dude, Go
Speaker 2: slay the dragon. Kyle.
Speaker 4: I know you have plenty more to say about that topic.
Speaker 9: Yeah, I'm already thinking, like, is Jaden Daniels, Jordan Spieth
Speaker 9: or rored like next comic And honestly, it's a really
Speaker 9: cool comparison. But Mahomes has a huge advantage over Tiger
Speaker 9: in the sense that he has control of his personal life.
Speaker 9: And Tiger beat himself and that's the reason he didn't
Speaker 9: catch Jack is that Mahomes is a machine personal wise,
Speaker 9: and he is such a mast in the storm, whereas
Speaker 9: Tiger completely came off the rails. I don't see that
Speaker 9: from Patrick Mahomes. And that's how why Tiger's career change.
Speaker 9: Mahomes just churning this out. I'm fascinated by the quarterback
Speaker 9: on the other side of the ball.
Speaker 5: In this game.
Speaker 9: This is the biggest game of Josh Allen's life. The
Speaker 9: stakes are much higher than they were in his last
Speaker 9: title game.
Speaker 5: Win or lose This game for.
Speaker 9: Josh Allen will be discussed and dissected until the day
Speaker 9: he dies. If he loses this game, Mahomes will go
Speaker 9: to seventeen and three in the playoffs and Josh Allen
Speaker 9: will go to seven and six. He will go oh
Speaker 9: and two in title games. Josh Allen, he will go
Speaker 9: oh to four against the Chiefs in the playoffs. And
Speaker 9: if you do want to make the basketball analogy about
Speaker 9: Jordan Nett get past the Pistons, Jordan lost the Pistons
Speaker 9: three years, not four. By the fourth time he got
Speaker 9: not only did he beat the Pistons, he swept the Pistons.
Speaker 9: He did not lose four years in a row. This
Speaker 9: would be the fourth time that Josh Allen lost to
Speaker 9: the Chiefs. So there's a word, though you can describe
Speaker 9: Josh Allen this year that has never really been used
Speaker 9: to describe him.
Speaker 5: Before, and it is composed. He is so composed this year.
Speaker 5: He is so clean this year.
Speaker 9: I don't even know if you understand how clean it's
Speaker 9: going to pay off in this game. Josh Allen this
Speaker 9: season has the lowest number of terrible plays by a
Speaker 9: quarterback in any season ever, better than Montana Young Brady Rogers.
Speaker 5: And what does that mean?
Speaker 9: The lowest percentage of plays that end with an interception,
Speaker 9: a fumble, or a sack since the merger. Four percent
Speaker 9: of the Bills offensive plays and in a sack, fumble, interception.
Speaker 9: And this is Josh Allen, the sugar high guy who
Speaker 9: does crazy things and can't.
Speaker 5: Control himself in big games.
Speaker 9: No one has been more composed than him this year,
Speaker 9: and yet he does still have that little devil on
Speaker 9: his shoulder. It never fully goes away. And just when
Speaker 9: you think you know, I got the angel over here
Speaker 9: that says, check it out, down, throw it out of
Speaker 9: the bounds.
Speaker 2: The devil says, dude, cool, do a cool play. Go
Speaker 2: later out to somebody, jump over somebody.
Speaker 10: Just do it.
Speaker 9: Why not, It'll be awesome. The highlights will love you.
Speaker 9: And we saw it. We almost saw it in this
Speaker 9: last game. Plait A second, is that James Cook about
Speaker 9: nine yards away? There's no one between me and it.
Speaker 5: What if I just picked it to him?
Speaker 10: What if I just talk?
Speaker 9: I'm sure that it won't become a fumble and the
Speaker 9: Ravens with scooping score and will lose. What if I
Speaker 9: just talked to me so cool and that was like
Speaker 9: do it, dude, do it, do it right, out do it.
Speaker 9: It's like the Green Goblin's mask and William Debout do it.
Speaker 2: He didn't do it. He didn't do it.
Speaker 9: And afterwards, well, this week rather, he was.
Speaker 2: Asked, hey, Josh, were you.
Speaker 9: Thinking about maybe tossing at the Cook.
Speaker 5: And the goal line?
Speaker 11: It looks like there was a moment where he thought
Speaker 11: about laddling the ball back James Cook.
Speaker 5: Did that go through your head?
Speaker 2: No, wouldn't young.
Speaker 7: Josh Allen had done that, He would have it. Yes,
Speaker 7: it may have crossed the mind. But yeah, I didn't
Speaker 7: do it.
Speaker 5: He's all grown up, and yes, of course he would
Speaker 5: have done it. Young Josh Allen would have done it
Speaker 5: behind his back backwards. That was him. He's composed now.
Speaker 5: He plays clean.
Speaker 10: Now.
Speaker 9: If the Bills don't have a fumble or an interception
Speaker 9: or a sack, they're going to win this game. They
Speaker 9: run the ball better than the Chiefs. Their quarterback has
Speaker 9: played better than the Chiefs this year. It's down to
Speaker 9: that guy. How does he show up in this game
Speaker 9: and late in this game, does the devil win? Or
Speaker 9: does he finally just flick it off his shoulder and
Speaker 9: go to a super Bowl. There's going to be a
Speaker 9: moment where Josh Jawn right here has to play clean
Speaker 9: ball instead of crazy ball.
Speaker 5: I think that he will.
Speaker 6: I hope he doesn't play crazy ball, Kyle, because I
Speaker 6: think you myself, Jamie Peter, we all know he would
Speaker 6: line through his teeth because we saw his eyes on film.
Speaker 6: We saw it, and if it wasn't for that defender
Speaker 6: that came around and kind of kind of corralled and
Speaker 6: made sure he couldn't make that pitch, he would have
Speaker 6: done it. If he had the opportunity, he absolutely would
Speaker 6: have done it. And that could have been a game
Speaker 6: changer in that situation. But you talk about how to
Speaker 6: win this game, and you're talking about the running game,
Speaker 6: and of course, Josh Allen, this is a team I
Speaker 6: make more of a boxing a fictional boxing comparison to
Speaker 6: Rocky Balboa. And there's one of my favorite quotes is
Speaker 6: that you know, winning it's not about how hard you
Speaker 6: get hit. It's about your ability to get hit and
Speaker 6: keep moving forward. That's how winning is done. And did
Speaker 6: we see that in the Division round back in twenty
Speaker 6: twenty one when they were going blow for blow, just
Speaker 6: going back at each other. It was ridiculous the way
Speaker 6: they were going at each other. And remember with about
Speaker 6: you know, a little bit over a minute, it was
Speaker 6: twenty one twenty six, the Buffalo Bills were down and
Speaker 6: they were shooting. It was a shootout, and then it
Speaker 6: came down to that final thirteen seconds in the game
Speaker 6: and we saw Mahome rise up to the occasion. And
Speaker 6: when he does that and we's at his form, it's
Speaker 6: very very hard.
Speaker 2: So what I need to see.
Speaker 6: Out of Josh Allen they want an opportunity to beat
Speaker 6: the Kansas City Chiefs. They're going to need intestinal, testicular
Speaker 6: fortitude and they're going to need strength endurance to be
Speaker 6: able to handle the Kansas City Chiefs. They're too They're
Speaker 6: too hard, man, They're too hard. They have so much
Speaker 6: fighting them. I look at that over time and I
Speaker 6: just see the way they just march themselves down to
Speaker 6: finally get the victory with Kelsey. That to me defined
Speaker 6: to the Kansas City Chiefs. So they don't give up.
Speaker 6: If you hit them, they're gonna hit back harder. They're
Speaker 6: just gonna keep hitting and keep hitting, so we'll see
Speaker 6: how they respond. But I want to see a great game.
Speaker 6: I'm looking at this, I'm going, what do I want
Speaker 6: to see out of this game? I want to see
Speaker 6: what I saw in fact, even better, I want to
Speaker 6: see if they can do better than what we saw
Speaker 6: in that Division round a couple of years ago.
Speaker 2: That's what I want out.
Speaker 5: Of this game. This is so great.
Speaker 3: We have so much more time to unpack this match
Speaker 3: up ahead of Sunday afternoon. Until then, Tom Pellisara, welcome inside.
Speaker 3: There's a lot of balancing act that occurs right now.
Speaker 3: It's looking at the postseason, but it's also decisions that
Speaker 3: teams are making when they're not playing. The New York
Speaker 3: Jets brought a couple guys into the building just to
Speaker 3: handle but they made some news yesterday when they finally
Speaker 3: landed on their new head coach.
Speaker 5: That's right, Jamie.
Speaker 11: After conducting over a dozen interviews with head coaching candidates,
Speaker 11: the Jets settled on the one that always seemed to
Speaker 11: be the favorite. Aaron Glenn is the new head coach
Speaker 11: of the New York Jets. Back with the franchise with
Speaker 11: which he played eight of his NFL seasons, also was
Speaker 11: a coach at one point in New York. Glenn said
Speaker 11: in the statement, this place is special to me where
Speaker 11: fans simply put, expect a winning team that you will
Speaker 11: be proud of. This is about culture for the New
Speaker 11: York Jets. This certainly follows another pattern as much as
Speaker 11: New York talked about potentially getting experience at one or
Speaker 11: both the positions as they changed head coach in general
Speaker 11: manager again and once again are going with a first
Speaker 11: time head coach from the defensive side, but the one
Speaker 11: that comes with a lot of credibility both for his
Speaker 11: work as a player and being a part of what
Speaker 11: they built in Detroit over the past several years. No
Speaker 11: general manager hire yet for the Jets. Darren Mougi, who
Speaker 11: was the Broncos assistant GM, and Trey Brown front office
Speaker 11: guy for the Bengals, both in the building today, Lance
Speaker 11: Newmark alive as well. Expect a decision as soon as tonight,
Speaker 11: I mean, while the Jaguars made a decision with some
Speaker 11: rather surprising timing, the team parting ways on Wednesday with
Speaker 11: their GM Trent Baulkey after fourth seasons at the Helm.
Speaker 11: Now This has been a decision that had been rumored
Speaker 11: for months. The Bulky, one way or another, might not
Speaker 11: be back with the Jaguars. In twenty twenty five, when
Speaker 11: shod Con announced the firing of Doug Peterson, he also
Speaker 11: announced that Bulky would return and be a big part
Speaker 11: of their coaching search. What happened over the past couple
Speaker 11: of weeks here where there were too many examples of
Speaker 11: head coaching candidates pulling back or expressing reservations about working
Speaker 11: with Bulkey in Jacksonville. The latest one was when Liam
Speaker 11: Cohen decided to return to Tampa Bay as offensive coordinator.
Speaker 2: There were a bunch of reasons for.
Speaker 11: That, including the Bucks making a big offer to Liam Cohen,
Speaker 11: but just hours later, the Jaguars made the announcement trend
Speaker 11: Balkey is out. They're recalibrating now with Ethan Waugh as
Speaker 11: their interim general manager. Patrick Graham, the former Raiders defensive coordinator,
Speaker 11: still on.
Speaker 2: He is interviewing for the head coaching.
Speaker 11: Job today, but expect them to potentially widen out their
Speaker 11: search as well as for the teams playing this weekend.
Speaker 11: One injury injury that we are monitoring is Jalen Hurts
Speaker 11: and that knee they got all twisted up last week.
Speaker 11: You can see the play right here where Jalen Hurts
Speaker 11: kind of crumples viely grabs toward that left knee. He
Speaker 11: was officially listed as limited in practice on Wednesday. Hurts
Speaker 11: old reporters he is taking it one day at a time.
Speaker 11: Said that he does plan to play on Sunday in
Speaker 11: the NFC Championship game against the Commanders, but when he
Speaker 11: was asked whether potential of that injury could limit his
Speaker 11: running ability, Hurts said, only every game is different. Certainly
Speaker 11: something to monitor both through the week and during the
Speaker 11: game on Sunday.
Speaker 4: AFC NFC Championship weekend, it's for all the marvels, and
Speaker 4: it's for a trip to go to the super Bowl.
Speaker 4: Do you know that this week all four teams have
Speaker 4: staff members who fly out to the super Bowl site
Speaker 4: to do something called advance work, just to see where
Speaker 4: our hotel is and where we're gonna bring our key sponsors.
Speaker 4: Think about that air of we're just one win away.
Speaker 4: That's how we feel on good morning for pretty cool,
Speaker 4: Pretty cool. Now we got four teams who are right
Speaker 4: there on the doorstep. It's a game we call we
Speaker 4: inter we out if I present a topic and my
Speaker 4: co hosts tell me whether they agree or they disagree.
Speaker 2: Here's my statement in a historical lens.
Speaker 4: Another big game and a trip to the super Bowl
Speaker 4: is far more significant than any of the regular season
Speaker 4: records we discussed when it comes to Saquon Barkley, Are
Speaker 4: we inn we out?
Speaker 3: Jamie Erdall, Oh my gosh, I just said, akbar. If
Speaker 3: that man is playing in a super Bowl in two weeks,
Speaker 3: I am just gonna my heart is just gonna melt.
Speaker 3: What What is it about his face, his determination, his story,
Speaker 3: It's absolutely incredible. I I another big game. In a
Speaker 3: trip verses, I'm in I'm in on this. I just like,
Speaker 3: I'm so shook by that music and by Saquon and
Speaker 3: everything that's going on. I'm in another big game and
Speaker 3: more significant. Yes, yes, yes, yes, And I'm also thinking
Speaker 3: about those advanced scout people that have to go and
Speaker 3: then they don't get to go to the super Bowl.
Speaker 3: I'm so distracted by Peter's t right. I'm in on this, sockbar.
Speaker 6: You know I'm in on this too. I absolutely love
Speaker 6: it because you look at this. Yes, the personal records
Speaker 6: they mean a lot, and you guys know, I wanted
Speaker 6: it badly for Saquon Barkley. It was just time to
Speaker 6: see that he's worked so hard, all the doubt that
Speaker 6: happened before and the you know, going into a new
Speaker 6: team situation. But it doesn't mean that there are more
Speaker 6: opportunities for him to pick up a Super Bowl ring
Speaker 6: and more records.
Speaker 5: You know, in this game.
Speaker 6: Saquon Barkley has the opportunity, in this championship game that
Speaker 6: he can pass Eric Dickerson this Sunday for total rushing
Speaker 6: yards in the season and postseason and move into third place.
Speaker 6: He's won that many yards and also has an opportunity,
Speaker 6: you know, depending on how he goes off, he has
Speaker 6: an opportunity to pass you know, that of Terrell Davis.
Speaker 5: So it would be cool to see him do that.
Speaker 6: But everybody knows super Bowl ring is the ultimate destination.
Speaker 5: Twenty one oh five would have been awesome.
Speaker 9: It's one of the few actual numbers in our sport
Speaker 9: that people remember. I don't know that Terrell Davis full
Speaker 9: season plus playoffs record, it's cool and everything.
Speaker 5: I love TD. That's not twenty one oh five was
Speaker 5: a number. However, this is what I would say.
Speaker 9: I've been able to go into the Super Bowl week
Speaker 9: in the Super Bowl Study many times over the years,
Speaker 9: and there's I would speak to Saquon, there's there's something
Speaker 9: called radio row and it'll be over sooner, it'll be
Speaker 9: podcast row, whatever the hell it is. But what I'm
Speaker 9: saying is there you see guys there. You see dignitaries there.
Speaker 9: Sometimes you'll see people walking around with the gold jacket
Speaker 9: on and it's unbelievable. Then you'll see other guys who
Speaker 9: are walking around who have Super Bowl rings on and
Speaker 9: it's incredible.
Speaker 5: And then you see guys who are walking around with
Speaker 5: both with.
Speaker 2: Both Kyle, you got me fired off.
Speaker 9: You got the jacket, they got the ring. Saquon, you
Speaker 9: can do that thirty years from now. You can show
Speaker 9: up with both of them. And that is a club
Speaker 9: in and of itself. It's right there from you. Also,
Speaker 9: you are going to be one of the very few
Speaker 9: or few players ever to as a running back lead
Speaker 9: the team to the super Bowl. Not in nineteen sixty eight,
Speaker 9: in twenty twenty five. It's a very rare club. And
Speaker 9: maybe one of those that Emmett really carried the Cowboys,
Speaker 9: but they're always kind of strung.
Speaker 5: Not this one.
Speaker 9: This one would be really special when in this era,
Speaker 9: with these rules and these quarterbacks, the running back held
Speaker 9: the team on his shoulders and carried them. That's a
Speaker 9: stick out super Bowl. That's Nick Foles did his amazing thing.
Speaker 9: This would be the Saquon Super Bowl. It would get
Speaker 9: you another step towards a gold jacket and would get
Speaker 9: you that ring.
Speaker 5: I'm in on this, and I think he should be too.
Speaker 4: I love your historical reference and thinking of like the
Speaker 4: rate because I go through it and I'm like, Barry.
Speaker 2: Sanders is one of the greatest running backs ever. He
Speaker 2: never played in Super Bowl.
Speaker 4: Eric Dickerson is one of the greatest running backs ever,
Speaker 4: never playing a Super Bowl sewn.
Speaker 2: Alexander was an MVP.
Speaker 5: Dandian Thomason like Danian.
Speaker 9: Thomlinson, I think he's on the rush more, never got.
Speaker 2: A ring, never got a chance to even played for one.
Speaker 6: You go down the list and Peter and of all
Speaker 6: the two thousand yard rushers, if I'm not mistaken, he
Speaker 6: would be the first of the two thousand yard rushers
Speaker 6: to get a Super Bowl ring.
Speaker 5: So that'd be pretty cool.
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, I think Terrell Davis hit two thousand once, right, that's.
Speaker 9: Those top names, OJ Dickerson, Derek Henrick Johnson.
Speaker 4: I also look at like like guys like Chris Carter
Speaker 4: who put together all these amazing statistical numbers and it
Speaker 4: was right there in the NFC Championship Game two different
Speaker 4: times and like couldn't get over the hub. I think
Speaker 4: this is huge for legacy stuff. Even getting to the
Speaker 4: Super Bowl and getting the chance. Hey, Walter Payton had
Speaker 4: that career and in the fifteenth season of his NFL
Speaker 4: career of sixteen years, he got a Super Bowl ring
Speaker 4: and it was like a saquon I think that is
Speaker 4: so much cooler than having an individual statistical season.
Speaker 2: I agree with you guys.
Speaker 4: I think that clip it's a little hollow if it
Speaker 4: doesn't come with a little bit more to it.
Speaker 5: Also, he had two thousand yards rushiing. It's really it happened.
Speaker 5: I mean, he had a great statistical season as well.
Speaker 5: It did.
Speaker 4: On the second topic, we're going to the other side.
Speaker 4: We're going to Chiefs versus Bills, and as the Chiefs
Speaker 4: host the Bills and what is their seventh straight AFC
Speaker 4: Championship Game appearance, Patrick Mahomes had to weigh in on things.
Speaker 4: He was asked if he feels the referees are protecting him,
Speaker 4: Take a listen.
Speaker 8: I don't feel that way. I mean, I just try
Speaker 8: to play football. At the end of the day. The
Speaker 8: referees are doing their best to call the game is
Speaker 8: as fair and as proper as they possibly can. And
Speaker 8: all you can do is go out there and play
Speaker 8: the game that you love as hard as you can
Speaker 8: and live with the results. And so for me, it's
Speaker 8: to go out there, play hard, try to do whatever
Speaker 8: I can to win the football game, and then live
Speaker 8: with the results based off of my effort and the
Speaker 8: way that we played the game. And so I think
Speaker 8: that's what we preach here in Kansas City.
Speaker 2: All right, myho like, get out here with that. Chiefs fans,
Speaker 2: you feel it, you know it.
Speaker 4: This is for Nick Wright and for all the others
Speaker 4: out there defending the Arrowhead Stadium.
Speaker 2: Chiefs fans, you should embrace being the villains this week.
Speaker 2: Are we in? Are we out? Jamie? Should? They already do?
Speaker 3: At least that's what I see Chiefs fans doing.
Speaker 2: They've been doing this.
Speaker 3: This is not the first pass that people trying to
Speaker 3: tear down Chiefs fans or the Chiefs or what they're
Speaker 3: trying to accomplish. I am in on this, but only
Speaker 3: because I know Chiefs are already The Chiefs fans are
Speaker 3: already doing this. Kyle in on the fact that they
Speaker 3: should embrace this because this is just another year for them.
Speaker 9: Well, it's such a departure for them because their reputation
Speaker 9: is that they're so kind in Midwesterners and it's Paul
Speaker 9: Run and it's Rob.
Speaker 5: Wrigglin like that.
Speaker 9: There's really nice people who just love barbecue and football. Hell, yes,
Speaker 9: you should embrace it. You're a Talk to the Patriots fans.
Speaker 9: They got all the calls. They were going, cheaters, you're
Speaker 9: cheating the game. What am I supposed to tell my children?
Speaker 9: We had Dennis Leary and here the actor, longtime Patriots fan.
Speaker 5: He's like, my cup is full. I don't care if
Speaker 5: Drake may works O. I don't give it.
Speaker 2: Damn.
Speaker 5: I already won all the Super Bowls.
Speaker 2: I don't care.
Speaker 5: I'm good.
Speaker 9: Go talk to Yankees fans. They're the evil Empire. Do
Speaker 9: you think any of the think of a damn? Would
Speaker 9: anyone think of them? They got they got beachfront property.
Speaker 9: As sports fans, it's a great place to go. You
Speaker 9: wish you could be the villain. Go ahead, either die
Speaker 9: hero or live long enough to become a villain. Here
Speaker 9: you go, Kansas City, embrace it.
Speaker 2: Embrace it.
Speaker 5: I'm in on that one as well.
Speaker 6: Just embrace it. Look, you haters are gonna hate when
Speaker 6: you're successful like that. People are gonna hate on you.
Speaker 6: So I say, lean in on it now. I will say,
Speaker 6: I do think that, of course Patrick Mahomes might be
Speaker 6: a little blinded by superstar privilege, because of course everybody
Speaker 6: can see the advantages that he has. But you know what,
Speaker 6: I don't blame him. Lean in on it and maybe
Speaker 6: everybody else will start to adopt it and adapt to it.
Speaker 4: Here's where it will swing. Because I live online. Unfortunately,
Speaker 4: I see what happens. And it's like Chiefs fans are
Speaker 4: very defensive of everything about this, that the calls go
Speaker 4: their way and that they get favors. When you really
Speaker 4: embrace being the villain, you go like this and you
Speaker 4: have a black hat on and you say, yeah, we
Speaker 4: do get all the calls and the league does favor us.
Speaker 4: You know, it's so nice when we have those Super
Speaker 4: Bowl parade. That's when you really embrace being the villain
Speaker 4: instead of fighting off all the haters and saying no, no, no, no,
Speaker 4: we don't.
Speaker 2: Get calls look at this thing.
Speaker 4: No no, you look at it and you go, yeah,
Speaker 4: maybe we do come and beat us.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's when you really become the villain.
Speaker 9: Yeah, we get all the calls. We get the call
Speaker 9: every year from the league. What time should the parades start?
Speaker 9: It's a great call.
Speaker 2: Do you want that Disney World trip?
Speaker 5: Yes, then we got a call about that when we get.
Speaker 2: The rings down there.
Speaker 6: I wanted something a little a little more intense, like
Speaker 6: something like the Undertaker, like.
Speaker 2: Rest in Peace.
Speaker 5: That's how you do it.
Speaker 2: Right there, That's how you do it.
Speaker 5: That's how you come to the villain.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you could make eyes frols the back of your head.
Speaker 3: That's very impressive.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 3: Peter Schrager, we in we out perfect topics. I'm in
Speaker 3: on the following segments Schreger's NFL Trivia. I think I've
Speaker 3: become like an obsessed fan. Let's special edition, righting Conference Championships.
Speaker 4: Guys, for the first time since nineteen ninety two, that
Speaker 4: franchise is going to the NFC Championship round and in
Speaker 4: Shreger's NFL Trivia.
Speaker 2: And it is all Washington base.
Speaker 4: We are going back to the seventies, the eighties, and
Speaker 4: the nineties, and we are reliving some of the best
Speaker 4: moments for Washington football fans, because since nineteen ninety two,
Speaker 4: this team has not been.
Speaker 2: To this stage of the NFL season. Bar, We're gonna start.
Speaker 4: With you, and we're gonna give you the question.
Speaker 2: Of the broadcast elemental of this.
Speaker 4: This is the first time we will ever have a
Speaker 4: broadcast of the NFC Championship game with it Washington's in
Speaker 4: it on Fox cool, so Ocbar, I will ask you
Speaker 4: this question. Which two broadcasters were the voices of the
Speaker 4: five conference championship games that Washington played in during the
Speaker 4: nineteen eighties and nineties. The same two guys were in
Speaker 4: the boot for five different conference championship games. Was it
Speaker 4: Alt Michaels and Lynn Swann? Was it Dick Enberg and
Speaker 4: Bob Trump?
Speaker 5: Be Trump?
Speaker 4: Was it Howard Cosell and Don Meredith? Or was it
Speaker 4: Pat summer Ale and John Madden. Remember Fox didn't pick
Speaker 4: up the NFL since ninety four, so all these games
Speaker 4: were on CBS.
Speaker 6: Oh, okay, okay, this is really good. I remember how
Speaker 6: Sell from his boxing days with mohammadad Lee just being
Speaker 6: downright truck eat and he did do football. But I
Speaker 6: don't think it was Edburgh being an eighties kid, nineties kid.
Speaker 6: I mean, there's only two voices that inspired me to
Speaker 6: even be where I'm at today. I'm gonna have to
Speaker 6: go with Pat Somemrol and Pope John Matten. That was
Speaker 6: a bad John Madden voice, but that's what I think
Speaker 6: it is. I think it's Sehn Madden and Pat summerl.
Speaker 4: All right, viewers at home, I want you to just
Speaker 4: sit back and enjoy the next minute of NFC Championship
Speaker 4: introductions on screen by the best to ever do it.
Speaker 12: Working with me of course, as always is the former
Speaker 12: Oakland Raider head coach John matt and John Frankly.
Speaker 5: What kind of game do you see?
Speaker 10: I think both of these defenses are going to go
Speaker 10: after each other. I think we're going to see a
Speaker 10: lot of blitzing.
Speaker 13: Now.
Speaker 10: The last time they played, the Redskins didn't handle the blitzer.
Speaker 12: The Cowboys, you know, the forty nine ers came into Washington,
Speaker 12: d C.
Speaker 10: Two days early.
Speaker 12: They came here, as a matter of fact, late Thursday night.
Speaker 10: They worked out two days on.
Speaker 12: An uncovered Field at the University of Maryland, and I think,
Speaker 12: and I think John Madden.
Speaker 5: Agrees with me, that that's the way to approach this thing.
Speaker 10: I really do. I think, you know, especially when you're
Speaker 10: coming from the West coast to the East coast, that
Speaker 10: you have that three hour time difference. And this game
Speaker 10: is going to start at nine the forty.
Speaker 12: Nine er times CBS Sports presents the National Football League Today,
Speaker 12: it's the New York Giants against the Redskins of Washington
Speaker 12: live from RFK Stadiums. It is the NFC Championship game
Speaker 12: between the Minnesota Vikings and the Washington Redskins, and RFK Stadiums,
Speaker 12: where no one, I think when this all began expected
Speaker 12: to be is sold out as usual.
Speaker 10: We've been watching Joe Gibbs coaches, watching the Redskins beam
Speaker 10: for eleven years, and the end of this game is
Speaker 10: the happiest that I have seen in the those eleven years.
Speaker 2: That's so cool, Ogs lessons up cool.
Speaker 4: That's how it was they did all those NFC championship games.
Speaker 4: Madden and Summer all achbar, You're right, children of the.
Speaker 2: Eighties and nineties.
Speaker 4: Kyle and I were talking about it here on the show.
Speaker 4: I say like we're growing up. It was the forty
Speaker 4: nine ers, it was the Cowboys, and it was Washington.
Speaker 2: They're one of those teams.
Speaker 4: And I feel like an entire generation of fans don't
Speaker 4: even know that.
Speaker 2: And now they're back at the NFC.
Speaker 9: So many games at RFK that was always like the
Speaker 9: big game.
Speaker 5: Was there any movement Peter on RFK Junior Stadium? Maybe
Speaker 5: very healthy concessions, It's very healthy.
Speaker 4: The time we used to have the big noses and
Speaker 4: the guys drift at the hog ats Yeah, hous and a.
Speaker 5: Visa commercial, did Jamie.
Speaker 2: We are in a nostalgia mode here. And the last
Speaker 2: time that Washington.
Speaker 4: Played in the NFC Championship game was actually.
Speaker 2: January of ninety two.
Speaker 4: In that game, the Washington defense held which Hall of
Speaker 4: Fame running back to just forty four yards rushing?
Speaker 2: Was it a Smith?
Speaker 4: B Barry Sanders, see Walter Payton or d the great Marshall?
Speaker 2: Fuck?
Speaker 3: Okay, only because we're in the Lions were great thirty
Speaker 3: years ago.
Speaker 5: Era, I'm gonna.
Speaker 9: Go with B.
Speaker 5: Barry Sanders.
Speaker 3: I was four years old.
Speaker 2: I don't know that's okay.
Speaker 4: You saw Wayne Fontz just embracing Joe Gibbs. You better
Speaker 4: believe it was Barry Sanders, who klan is one of
Speaker 4: the all time great running backs. That is right, Jamie,
Speaker 4: b Barry Sanders. Let's run the clips. Barry comes in
Speaker 4: as like the superstar of the world. Can he go
Speaker 4: in to Washington and get this win? Unfortunately, it wasn't
Speaker 4: gonna be this day for Lions fans. Washington just absolutely
Speaker 4: swallowed him on this one.
Speaker 2: All the different highlights you see. It was a forty four.
Speaker 4: Yard rushing day in the biggest game of Barry Sanders' careers,
Speaker 4: the furthest he would ever get in the playoffs.
Speaker 2: They get stuffed in the.
Speaker 4: NFC Championship game, just like Saquon that's to the NFC
Speaker 4: Championship Game. But as a great running back, could not
Speaker 4: get over the hump kin.
Speaker 2: Saque do it.
Speaker 4: We'll see he'll be going up against a Washington defense
Speaker 4: himself to reach the Super Bowl for the first time.
Speaker 2: Great job, Jamie, look at that defense from the area
Speaker 2: of view. Who need to drone? You have that cool?
Speaker 5: My drone is the goodyear blimp.
Speaker 14: Peter.
Speaker 2: We go back with great deal.
Speaker 5: I'm a blimp this year. He means you got a
Speaker 5: game all right, Kyle.
Speaker 4: On January seventeenth, nineteen eighty eight, Washington beat Minnesota in
Speaker 4: the NFC Championship Games.
Speaker 9: Was right before my ninth birthday, Right before your ninth birthday.
Speaker 4: Minnesota beat San Francisco the week before. They were this
Speaker 4: upstart team and they gave Washington everything they could.
Speaker 2: Here is a clip from the.
Speaker 4: Radio of Doug Williams's fourth quarter game winning touchdown.
Speaker 2: Pass to the great Gary Clark Bush.
Speaker 11: He don want it back to pack looking look he
Speaker 11: throws the.
Speaker 13: Night A good big day Clark play game that I had.
Speaker 13: They go to Gary Clark and they win seventeen to ten,
Speaker 13: and they head to the Super Bowl where obviously they
Speaker 13: would demolish the.
Speaker 4: Denver Broncos and Doug Williams would get his Super Bowl ray.
Speaker 5: It was a little detail that I always loved what
Speaker 5: he got.
Speaker 9: Back in the day, when they would show how much
Speaker 9: time was left in the game, five minutes and ten seconds,
Speaker 9: it was actually a camera shot of the stadium clock.
Speaker 5: It wasn't an on screen graphic.
Speaker 9: They were filming the stadium clock and they.
Speaker 2: Put it there was a score book. Take me back,
Speaker 2: there was nothing.
Speaker 4: Vikings fan, sorry to have to relive that you still
Speaker 4: haven't been back to the super Bowl, but Washington went there.
Speaker 5: You got a Viking's question for me. Let's go. I'm ready, Kyle.
Speaker 5: That was it?
Speaker 2: Jerry Banuary of eighty eight?
Speaker 10: Okay?
Speaker 2: What was the number one.
Speaker 4: Movie in America the night that Washington beat Minnesota in
Speaker 4: the eighty seven NFC Championship Game? Was it A Good
Speaker 4: Morning Vietnam?
Speaker 2: Was it b Throw Mama from the Train? Was it
Speaker 2: c Overboard or was itdeed? Eddie Murphy raw.
Speaker 5: I'll start from the bottom. Eddie Murphy Raw.
Speaker 9: That a facto follow up, the delirious Eddie Murphy in
Speaker 9: a skin tight purple leather suits his post forty eight Hours.
Speaker 5: Eddie Murphy huge deal.
Speaker 9: A lot of it is aged terribly, but there's one
Speaker 9: part where Eddie makes fun of the moonwalk.
Speaker 5: That was the thing where he's like.
Speaker 9: He didn't know how to do it, and he'd be like,
Speaker 9: I don't get it. He say hey, baby, let's dance
Speaker 9: see later, and everyone would just laugh.
Speaker 5: Everyone's just actually died.
Speaker 9: I think it did make money, but I don't think
Speaker 9: it was a huge number one hit Overboard.
Speaker 5: My wife and I loved this movie. Anie Goola here,
Speaker 5: I think they.
Speaker 9: Remade it with Anna Faris didn't have the same charm. Now,
Speaker 9: Throw Mama from the Train is a fascinating movie directed
Speaker 9: by Danny de Vito, very dark comedy in with Danny
Speaker 9: DeVito wants Billy Crystal to kill his mom who is
Speaker 9: Mama for Telly and Billy Crystal wants Danny DeVito to
Speaker 9: kill his wife.
Speaker 5: It's all over the map.
Speaker 9: I'm not gonna spoil it out there what happens with
Speaker 9: the Mama.
Speaker 5: I also don't think.
Speaker 9: That was a big hit, but I know that Good
Speaker 9: Morning Vietnam, in my opinion, a Robert wool vehicle. Sorry,
Speaker 9: and Alvin Williams JT. Walsh incredible too. As the heavy
Speaker 9: the movie goes weird places and there's death and miserable stuff.
Speaker 9: I just remember my uncle Bob. May he rest in peace.
Speaker 9: I loved him. We used to go together away as
Speaker 9: a family, and every single morning, to get the kids
Speaker 9: out of bed, he would go to our room and go,
Speaker 9: good morning.
Speaker 5: I miss your uncle Bob, I miss your Robin Williams.
Speaker 5: It's a big hit.
Speaker 9: I think it's good Morning Vietnam.
Speaker 2: The correct answer is good Morning.
Speaker 9: This inspired our show name in twenty sixteen, what do
Speaker 9: we call the show?
Speaker 5: And Michael Davey said.
Speaker 9: Remember Vietnam with Robin william Let's call it good Morning's Football.
Speaker 5: And that's yes.
Speaker 2: It was just like your no sorry, good Morning Vietnam.
Speaker 2: You nailed it, really would have.
Speaker 5: I mean I could be wrong here.
Speaker 2: One of Robin's first serious roles massive breakout.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and there are very serious parts of it. I
Speaker 5: love the JT. Walsh character.
Speaker 9: The whole thing is like, now you would read the
Speaker 9: news without any jokes, without any bets. He's like, okay,
Speaker 9: and then he would just ad lib.
Speaker 5: It's very funny. But I heav you roll at parts.
Speaker 2: I love this great great trip down No Styalta Lane.
Speaker 4: Good Morning Vietnam was the number one from all four
Speaker 4: of those movies, though did finish in the top ten.
Speaker 2: That was that, right, Yeah.
Speaker 9: I feel like if her MoMA was Abomba, I guess
Speaker 9: not Okay from Billy Crystal was hot.
Speaker 4: Go find it, guys, Mama for Telly great Gooney's all right, guys,
Speaker 4: the video clue.
Speaker 2: We're staying in Washington, d C.
Speaker 4: This is this is for those fans right now who
Speaker 4: have been longing for them to be in the NFC
Speaker 4: Championship Game for thirty some odd years. Down thirty four
Speaker 4: to ten in the fourth quarter of the ninety one
Speaker 4: NFC Championship Game, what happens on this Lions offensive play?
Speaker 4: They're down twenty four points in the fourth Is it
Speaker 4: A Herman Moore has an eighty two yard touchdown reception.
Speaker 2: Is it B Matt millan sack of andre ware to put.
Speaker 9: This game on ice?
Speaker 4: Is it CE Dexter Manley has a strip sack of
Speaker 4: fumble recovery for a touchdown? Or is it D Darryl Green,
Speaker 4: the the future Hall of Famer has a pick six to.
Speaker 2: Put the game away. We'll go up that way, okbar,
Speaker 2: Jamie Kyle, Okay, straight up, it's D.
Speaker 6: Darryl Green thirty two yards pick six.
Speaker 5: It's got to be. It has to be took.
Speaker 3: You know I always go pick six. I'm going to
Speaker 3: go D Daryl Green thirty two yard pick six.
Speaker 5: Well, I know it's not a because.
Speaker 9: If we pay attention earlier in the segment, they reference
Speaker 9: this game and it was forty one to ten final score.
Speaker 9: But I don't think it's not a defensive score. I
Speaker 9: know Peter Peter has a soft spot for Matt Mellan.
Speaker 9: He's always like Matt Millan. So I'm going to go
Speaker 9: be a sack of andre Ware, who I loved in college.
Speaker 4: Andre Ware University of Houston, a Heisman Trophy winner. For
Speaker 4: the actual answer, I want you to watch the broadcast
Speaker 4: clip and listen, because I think it's Madden in summer,
Speaker 4: all at their all time best, and you can feel
Speaker 4: that the catharsis of a fan base knowing they're going
Speaker 4: to go play the Buffalo Bills in the Super Bowl.
Speaker 2: Take a listen where.
Speaker 14: By Darryl Green and Darryl Green will go for Washington.
Speaker 10: Where they don't. By Darryl Green, they done.
Speaker 14: Their carry Daryl Green right out of the stadium.
Speaker 10: There's not much to Green. They picked them up for
Speaker 10: home up.
Speaker 2: Witness dans Ernie to yard pick up.
Speaker 13: This has been a.
Speaker 14: Complete game for these Redskins today, and the owner that
Speaker 14: gets cooked all he can do is laugh. It's been offense,
Speaker 14: it's been defense, it's been special teams.
Speaker 2: Again. Chills, chills, Uh.
Speaker 4: That's what football used to be like in the eighties,
Speaker 4: a rocking stadium where the camera is shaking and you
Speaker 4: hear a marching band with a drum and you see
Speaker 4: the joy of the fans on what looks to be
Speaker 4: does an incredibly terribly kept surface.
Speaker 2: That's what it was that Darryl Green one of his
Speaker 2: greatest moments. Kyle, your thoughts.
Speaker 9: I just think the most special moment in all of
Speaker 9: the NFL season is when a home team knows that's
Speaker 9: going to win the title game, you're going to the
Speaker 9: super Bowl. The super Bowl is different. It's not the
Speaker 9: same home atmosphere, it's not a lot of the fans.
Speaker 9: It's the last time so many of those fans are
Speaker 9: going to see their team and we're.
Speaker 5: Going to the super Bowl.
Speaker 9: It's it's kind of like a basketball player wearing the
Speaker 9: net when they're going to the Final four.
Speaker 5: They haven't won the.
Speaker 9: Title yet, but they're going to the Final four and
Speaker 9: we just saw it and we can see it from
Speaker 9: Eagles or Chiefs fans again this weekend.
Speaker 5: So cool.
Speaker 3: To Kyle's point, just like the roar of the crowd
Speaker 3: and honestly, listening to the broadcasters in the play, I
Speaker 3: love me at a throwback pick six.
Speaker 6: This feels like Peter like with all this just feels
Speaker 6: like you're you're, you're, you're setting it up for for
Speaker 6: later in the week here to tell us that the
Speaker 6: Commanders are going to the super Bowl.
Speaker 3: So many of those so many of those plays are
Speaker 3: home to Peter's point, Like, you know, the fact that
Speaker 3: they got to go to Philadelphia and do this is
Speaker 3: a whole different beast, no doubt.
Speaker 4: I'll just say this, there was once upon a time
Speaker 4: where that franchise super Bowl was not a big deal.
Speaker 4: They would go every other year, find themselves there. Maybe
Speaker 4: we're entering that era again. I'm just saying I'm.
Speaker 5: Not going to do it next week.
Speaker 9: Can't do next week trivia about rookies in the Super
Speaker 9: Bowl quarterback.
Speaker 5: There's ever been one. It would be the first ever.
Speaker 2: Can't do it trivia, folks, let's go
Speaker 9: So good, we got all Dutch
