00:02:02,868 --> 00:02:05,628
Speaker 1: about Nate, it's about Peter's about because this is an

38
00:02:24,908 --> 00:02:26,828
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, it all makes sense with Love Selters

00:02:26,868 --> 00:02:28,988
Speaker 1: talking to Craig and I heard about this, I knew it.

40
00:02:29,308 --> 00:02:32,148
Speaker 1: The big schedule release though was last night, all two

41
00:02:32,228 --> 00:02:34,948
Speaker 1: hundred and seventy two games of the twenty twenty two

42
00:02:34,988 --> 00:02:37,508
Speaker 1: season and when they happen. He were talking about this

43
00:02:37,668 --> 00:02:40,108
Speaker 1: over and over again for months and when the genius

44
00:02:40,108 --> 00:02:43,708
Speaker 1: schedules makers decided to make it all happen. We have

45
00:02:43,868 --> 00:02:47,788
Speaker 1: now three hours to digest it after eleven hours since

46
00:02:47,788 --> 00:02:50,188
Speaker 1: they reveal last night. Excellent work by everyone involved. On

47
00:02:50,348 --> 00:02:54,308
Speaker 1: NFL Network, nape Elson, what is the best game of

48
00:02:54,388 --> 00:03:01,428
Speaker 1: the twenty season? How about the Bills into it? I

49
00:03:01,468 --> 00:03:05,068
Speaker 1: thought you're gonna talk Ukraine. You've been doing it every

50
00:03:05,068 --> 00:03:08,108
Speaker 1: morning for the last month. All right, let's do it, baby.

51
00:03:08,108 --> 00:03:10,268
Speaker 1: We have we have the Rams Bills, right, which is

52
00:03:10,308 --> 00:03:13,468
Speaker 1: one hell of a match. Yeah. Matt Stafford, he was

53
00:03:13,548 --> 00:03:16,108
Speaker 1: brought to Los Angeles to do exactly what he did

54
00:03:16,188 --> 00:03:18,228
Speaker 1: last year, that was a winner Super Bow, and he

55
00:03:18,268 --> 00:03:20,588
Speaker 1: did that and then what happened. They broke him off.

56
00:03:20,668 --> 00:03:23,148
Speaker 1: He got paid. But on the flip side, you're looking

57
00:03:23,188 --> 00:03:25,428
Speaker 1: at the Bills and Kyle, I know that's your team.

58
00:03:25,468 --> 00:03:27,468
Speaker 1: It's not just the colors of the shirt that you're wearing.

59
00:03:27,908 --> 00:03:31,748
Speaker 1: But they paid Josh Shallon before he actually wins a

60
00:03:31,868 --> 00:03:34,788
Speaker 1: Super Bowl, So now they are paying him for what

61
00:03:34,828 --> 00:03:36,428
Speaker 1: they see it is supposed to happen in the future.

62
00:03:36,468 --> 00:03:39,188
Speaker 1: We know exactly what the Rams are, the Super Bowl champions,

63
00:03:39,388 --> 00:03:41,428
Speaker 1: But who are the Bills? Oh, Kyle, I saw you

64
00:03:41,508 --> 00:03:44,708
Speaker 1: Draft night. Did You're claiming that they are going to

65
00:03:44,748 --> 00:03:47,348
Speaker 1: be Super Bowl champions? But this game, right here, this

66
00:03:47,388 --> 00:03:49,948
Speaker 1: will be the deciding factor. This will show us exactly

67
00:03:50,068 --> 00:03:51,948
Speaker 1: who these teams are. The Rams, will they have that

68
00:03:51,988 --> 00:03:55,068
Speaker 1: Super Bowl hangover? Matt Staffords over here doing commercials, talking

69
00:03:55,108 --> 00:03:57,828
Speaker 1: about trading in the phone and it's the perfect type

70
00:03:57,828 --> 00:04:01,708
Speaker 1: of situation. Winks. That was a good win. But the

71
00:04:01,708 --> 00:04:03,908
Speaker 1: Bills on the flip side, you gotta not just start

72
00:04:03,908 --> 00:04:06,308
Speaker 1: the season. We've been excited about these guys. In a

73
00:04:06,348 --> 00:04:08,588
Speaker 1: regular season. How are you going to show the rest

74
00:04:08,628 --> 00:04:10,108
Speaker 1: of the league that you are for real? And this

75
00:04:10,188 --> 00:04:12,028
Speaker 1: is one of those games. I still think O'Hara's in

76
00:04:12,028 --> 00:04:15,548
Speaker 1: the bathroom. Me too, he's doing his scheduled release. I

77
00:04:17,428 --> 00:04:21,508
Speaker 1: still think there's something going on at the time. And

78
00:04:21,508 --> 00:04:23,828
Speaker 1: then want I want the Nate all right now. If

79
00:04:23,988 --> 00:04:26,548
Speaker 1: we would have consulted beforehand, I would have told you, Rams, Bills,

80
00:04:26,588 --> 00:04:27,788
Speaker 1: I want you to do a thing. You know, the

81
00:04:27,868 --> 00:04:30,228
Speaker 1: Ram's got to pay those bills. And Cooper Cup is electric.

82
00:04:30,228 --> 00:04:32,388
Speaker 1: That's the electricity bill, and they bring the heat. That's

83
00:04:32,388 --> 00:04:34,348
Speaker 1: the gas bill. We're gonna get into it today. I

84
00:04:34,388 --> 00:04:37,828
Speaker 1: want the good name three hours. I know, Baby, these

85
00:04:37,828 --> 00:04:40,188
Speaker 1: are minos, these are Shawn's. I think we should spend

86
00:04:40,188 --> 00:04:42,588
Speaker 1: all three hours talking Bills Chiefs. I've tried to do it.

87
00:04:42,668 --> 00:04:45,148
Speaker 1: We finally got our answer. The Buffalo Bills will play

88
00:04:45,188 --> 00:04:49,748
Speaker 1: at the Kansas City Chiefs week six. And I love it.

89
00:04:49,988 --> 00:04:53,228
Speaker 1: I think this is perfect. I love that it's an Arrowhead.

90
00:04:53,508 --> 00:04:55,428
Speaker 1: I love that. Okay, we talked about this whole week.

91
00:04:55,788 --> 00:04:57,588
Speaker 1: Don't give me that week one stuff because I want

92
00:04:57,588 --> 00:05:01,068
Speaker 1: them primed and seasoned and ready. Don't give me week

93
00:05:01,148 --> 00:05:04,148
Speaker 1: sixteen because frankly, we're worried that somebody might get injured.

94
00:05:04,148 --> 00:05:06,508
Speaker 1: We want stars out there. Week six. You have five

95
00:05:06,508 --> 00:05:08,948
Speaker 1: weeks of warm up. You keep the team together, and

96
00:05:08,988 --> 00:05:11,788
Speaker 1: then you go to Arrowhead. Yes, someone was saying, didn't

97
00:05:11,828 --> 00:05:13,868
Speaker 1: we get enough Bill's Chiefs. Haven't we had a no?

98
00:05:14,348 --> 00:05:16,468
Speaker 1: I want more? Who said, Peter? You were saying it

99
00:05:16,468 --> 00:05:18,788
Speaker 1: about the overtime rule. Didn't we get enough? All right?

100
00:05:18,788 --> 00:05:20,748
Speaker 1: So I didn't get enough that game. I didn't enough

101
00:05:20,708 --> 00:05:22,348
Speaker 1: to talk about it. I'll tell you something. You know

102
00:05:22,348 --> 00:05:24,668
Speaker 1: what I finally watched this week. I finally got to

103
00:05:25,108 --> 00:05:28,548
Speaker 1: the Batman, you know, the Robert Pattinson Batman. Be like,

104
00:05:28,628 --> 00:05:31,508
Speaker 1: if so long, if I give you six hours off,

105
00:05:31,588 --> 00:05:34,188
Speaker 1: I want more. I want Patti really skulk. It's not

106
00:05:34,228 --> 00:05:36,028
Speaker 1: too much. There's not too many superherb Well like it

107
00:05:36,068 --> 00:05:38,748
Speaker 1: was dark. I'm not talking about the script, like the visual.

108
00:05:38,828 --> 00:05:41,108
Speaker 1: It was just so dark. I like it sitting down

109
00:05:41,148 --> 00:05:43,148
Speaker 1: the basement, drunk up my ass watching I want more

110
00:05:43,148 --> 00:05:45,428
Speaker 1: of This game is gonna be dark dark, And you

111
00:05:45,468 --> 00:05:48,228
Speaker 1: know what, Josh showing his vengeance or maybe Mahomes just like,

112
00:05:48,268 --> 00:05:49,948
Speaker 1: screw you on your vengeance. I'm gonna beat you again.

113
00:05:50,468 --> 00:05:52,988
Speaker 1: This is the game Week six. We got baby Peter

114
00:05:53,028 --> 00:05:55,188
Speaker 1: getting here. Cam gonna put you on the spot. I

115
00:05:55,268 --> 00:05:57,508
Speaker 1: can't even and we do angry runs and we do

116
00:05:57,828 --> 00:06:00,388
Speaker 1: what do we always think that I always value most

117
00:06:00,508 --> 00:06:05,908
Speaker 1: contact content? Contact contact? These are all game Week seventeen,

118
00:06:06,388 --> 00:06:09,708
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills at the Cincinnati Bengals on Monday Night Football?

119
00:06:09,748 --> 00:06:13,548
Speaker 1: Are you kidding me? Joe Burrow, the reigning AFC champion,

120
00:06:13,708 --> 00:06:17,788
Speaker 1: Josh Allen, the one who thinks it's his turn. Mahomes

121
00:06:17,868 --> 00:06:20,028
Speaker 1: might be watching from the sideline for all we know,

122
00:06:20,108 --> 00:06:23,748
Speaker 1: because his playoff fates may rely on this game here

123
00:06:23,908 --> 00:06:27,148
Speaker 1: Week seventeen. I knew Bills were playing the Bengals at

124
00:06:27,148 --> 00:06:30,108
Speaker 1: some point in Cincinnati. K you went last year to

125
00:06:30,188 --> 00:06:34,028
Speaker 1: a huge Sunday game. Imagine Monday night, Week seventeen home

126
00:06:34,068 --> 00:06:37,508
Speaker 1: field of Davantage with an AFC North title with one

127
00:06:37,628 --> 00:06:42,548
Speaker 1: seed implications. Josh Allen and Joe Burrow on January second,

128
00:06:42,668 --> 00:06:46,668
Speaker 1: twenty twenty three. That's when they're playing. And I am

129
00:06:46,708 --> 00:06:49,628
Speaker 1: here for Week seventeen. The context is amazing. And Nate,

130
00:06:49,788 --> 00:06:55,908
Speaker 1: what is up with the rising gas prices? And we're

131
00:06:55,948 --> 00:06:59,908
Speaker 1: talking about bills right, bills, bills, bills. It all makes sense.

132
00:07:00,068 --> 00:07:03,708
Speaker 1: How about this this text from Shaun O'Hara at six am.

133
00:07:03,828 --> 00:07:06,588
Speaker 1: He was good this morning. Two last one kid, Let's

134
00:07:06,668 --> 00:07:09,628
Speaker 1: rock the world party emoji shout out to Shano here

135
00:07:09,748 --> 00:07:13,548
Speaker 1: for this seat. He sold this He touched the met

136
00:07:13,788 --> 00:07:17,828
Speaker 1: at six of my zoom link's not working like you didn't. Oh,

137
00:07:17,828 --> 00:07:20,788
Speaker 1: we didn't know the zoom link wasn't working. It was

138
00:07:20,828 --> 00:07:24,788
Speaker 1: all there in front of us. Two more important matters, guys.

139
00:07:24,868 --> 00:07:28,348
Speaker 1: Week three casual release happened last night about eleven hours ago.

140
00:07:28,388 --> 00:07:30,748
Speaker 1: Were things feel right here at the table, and so

141
00:07:30,828 --> 00:07:32,148
Speaker 1: does this snatch up. Let's take a look at it.

142
00:07:32,148 --> 00:07:34,708
Speaker 1: It's a late window on Fox, Packers Bucks. Is this

143
00:07:34,748 --> 00:07:36,148
Speaker 1: the final you know? Is this the final time for

144
00:07:36,348 --> 00:07:38,708
Speaker 1: three or four of us to They're clearly not literally,

145
00:07:39,508 --> 00:07:41,708
Speaker 1: this happens every now and then, which I love. Is

146
00:07:41,708 --> 00:07:44,308
Speaker 1: this the last time we see these two? Brady versus Rogers?

147
00:07:44,508 --> 00:07:47,148
Speaker 1: Right at two of the greatest quarterbacks to ever play

148
00:07:47,188 --> 00:07:51,668
Speaker 1: it combined seven MVPs. It's a rare rivalry, which is

149
00:07:51,708 --> 00:07:53,068
Speaker 1: what I like about it. Right, take a look at

150
00:07:53,068 --> 00:07:55,988
Speaker 1: this guy's fifth meeting. Ever, they don't pass each other

151
00:07:56,068 --> 00:07:58,628
Speaker 1: too often. Brady's gotten the better of Aaron, winning three

152
00:07:58,668 --> 00:08:01,308
Speaker 1: of them, including the NFCA Championship game, which was back

153
00:08:01,308 --> 00:08:03,948
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty. So I think it'll be something special,

154
00:08:04,668 --> 00:08:07,028
Speaker 1: just like this is to me, very good to go.

155
00:08:08,068 --> 00:08:09,388

165
00:08:37,948 --> 00:08:40,108
Speaker 1: You just said the word avocado that brings to mind

166
00:08:40,588 --> 00:08:43,028
Speaker 1: at one point ate an avocado with the rhine like

167
00:08:43,108 --> 00:08:44,628
Speaker 1: apple bite out of it, like it was an apple

168

Speaker 1: without peeling. It isn't clever? Play it off still like

169
00:08:46,628 --> 00:08:48,188

00:09:24,428 --> 00:09:27,548
Speaker 1: that you are anticipating the most, And let's maybe go

184
00:09:27,628 --> 00:09:29,468
Speaker 1: with something that swims out of the water. And then

185
00:09:30,228 --> 00:09:32,948
Speaker 1: I'm going with my man Mike Mack and Nate. We

186
00:09:32,988 --> 00:09:35,148
Speaker 1: haven't even gotten your impressions on Mike McDaniel who he

187
00:09:35,228 --> 00:09:38,148
Speaker 1: used to play or when he was in Cleveland with you,

188
00:09:38,388 --> 00:09:41,028
Speaker 1: and let's take a listen to just how unique Mike

189
00:09:41,108 --> 00:09:44,108
Speaker 1: McDaniel can be in an interview situation. Thank you so

190
00:09:44,228 --> 00:09:45,868

191
00:09:45,868 --> 00:09:47,548
Speaker 1: and good luck to everything you're gonna be doing with

192
00:09:47,588 --> 00:09:51,068
Speaker 1: the Miami Dolphins. Thank you guys. It's my pleasure. I

193
00:09:51,188 --> 00:09:53,988
Speaker 1: bet my mom and wife are soap pumped. Wendy Williams

194
00:09:54,028 --> 00:09:56,308
Speaker 1: doesn't get recorded because of good movieing the football off

195
00:09:56,308 --> 00:10:00,308
Speaker 1: the DVR. Yeah, so sorry, Wendy. I appreciate that he's

196
00:10:00,348 --> 00:10:03,068
Speaker 1: a he's a funny guy. That's interesting, that's an NFL

197
00:10:03,148 --> 00:10:05,668
Speaker 1: head coach, that's his Kaden, and how he speaks not

198
00:10:05,708 --> 00:10:09,508
Speaker 1: only off camera on camera with the team fascinated to

199
00:10:09,508 --> 00:10:11,908
Speaker 1: see he is a Yale graduate who has been under

200
00:10:11,908 --> 00:10:15,108
Speaker 1: the Shanahan wing forever and that Week one game, they

201
00:10:15,148 --> 00:10:17,188
Speaker 1: have so much talent on the field and he's such

202
00:10:17,188 --> 00:10:20,588
Speaker 1: an offensive genius. I'm so curious to see what that

203
00:10:20,668 --> 00:10:23,108
Speaker 1: offense looks like when the Dolphins finally take the field

204
00:10:23,108 --> 00:10:25,708
Speaker 1: after an offseason full of hype and big acquisitions like

205
00:10:25,748 --> 00:10:28,028
Speaker 1: Tyreek Hill. That's got to be the clubhouse later, McDaniel,

206
00:10:28,108 --> 00:10:30,108
Speaker 1: you know I'm gonna throw this one up Daniel Hackey,

207
00:10:30,308 --> 00:10:32,708
Speaker 1: the Denver Broncos new head coach, not only because he's

208
00:10:32,748 --> 00:10:35,828
Speaker 1: interesting and also cooking his own way, and also you know,

209
00:10:35,868 --> 00:10:38,228
Speaker 1: shares a last name of a famous comedian. Like, there's

210
00:10:38,228 --> 00:10:40,508
Speaker 1: all kinds of things going on. The schedule drops their

211
00:10:40,508 --> 00:10:43,548
Speaker 1: skitsu was absurd. The first game is that Seattle, Like

212
00:10:43,628 --> 00:10:47,548
Speaker 1: there's no soft roll in get used to ross, massive

213
00:10:47,628 --> 00:10:50,548
Speaker 1: media attention, tons of questions about Russ returning to Seattle.

214
00:10:50,588 --> 00:10:51,708
Speaker 1: And I don't know if you guys have taken a

215
00:10:51,748 --> 00:10:53,548
Speaker 1: peek at this. I'll preach on it later when your

216
00:10:53,588 --> 00:10:55,628
Speaker 1: team schedule comes out. Never mind the first month, look

217
00:10:55,628 --> 00:10:58,868
Speaker 1: at the last month. That's the important one. And oh

218
00:10:58,908 --> 00:11:01,988
Speaker 1: my god, the Broncos schedule down the stretch is unbelievably

219
00:11:01,988 --> 00:11:04,148
Speaker 1: difficult and challenging. So as we love Hackett because he

220
00:11:04,148 --> 00:11:06,428
Speaker 1: wants was a teacher of hip hop dance classes, He's

221
00:11:06,428 --> 00:11:08,788
Speaker 1: gonna have to show us some moves down the final stretch.

222
00:11:08,948 --> 00:11:10,948
Speaker 1: My man, n Nate, Remember I used to do what

223
00:11:11,028 --> 00:11:12,668
Speaker 1: do you call it? The flow? We used to joke

224
00:11:12,708 --> 00:11:14,268
Speaker 1: up mister Rogers in an episode where he did this

225
00:11:14,268 --> 00:11:18,748
Speaker 1: what's that called? Yeah, something like I'll look it up

226
00:11:18,748 --> 00:11:21,828
Speaker 1: in an urban dictionary. All right, Nate, here's the thing

227
00:11:21,868 --> 00:11:23,468
Speaker 1: for me. I wanted to go with the guy that

228
00:11:23,548 --> 00:11:25,188
Speaker 1: we love, hasn't been on the scene in a minute

229
00:11:25,188 --> 00:11:27,228
Speaker 1: as a head coach, but definitely guy that we respect

230
00:11:27,268 --> 00:11:29,348
Speaker 1: and bringing a certain sense of discipline to the squad

231
00:11:29,348 --> 00:11:31,948
Speaker 1: that he's with. I'm going with Doug Peterson. We know

232
00:11:32,068 --> 00:11:34,948
Speaker 1: that the Jacksonville Jackson they haven't had primetime games like

233
00:11:34,948 --> 00:11:36,788
Speaker 1: everybody else. You look over the last couple of decades,

234
00:11:36,828 --> 00:11:39,628
Speaker 1: they have been struggling things like fourteen years since they've

235
00:11:39,628 --> 00:11:42,188
Speaker 1: been on Sunday night, seven years or eleven years since

236
00:11:42,228 --> 00:11:44,388
Speaker 1: they've been on Monday Night. That's a squad that is

237
00:11:44,468 --> 00:11:47,548
Speaker 1: desperate to have some big time games in big time moments.

238
00:11:47,868 --> 00:11:51,948
Speaker 1: Doug Peterson, who is he facing Week one? Carson Wentz,

239
00:11:52,348 --> 00:11:55,868
Speaker 1: a guy that he helped exalt as the Eagles quarterback,

240
00:11:56,148 --> 00:11:59,868
Speaker 1: and then a guy he also bitched as the Eagles quarterback.

241
00:12:00,108 --> 00:12:02,548
Speaker 1: So all of a sudden you have these storylines that

242
00:12:02,588 --> 00:12:05,788
Speaker 1: were falling in love with week one. So for me,

243
00:12:05,868 --> 00:12:08,188
Speaker 1: I love the fact that Doug Peterson is going to

244
00:12:08,228 --> 00:12:11,068
Speaker 1: help try to fix a toxic situation that the Jacksonville

245
00:12:11,148 --> 00:12:13,428
Speaker 1: Jackson situation was. So you know, i'ven't been this excited

246
00:12:13,468 --> 00:12:15,988
Speaker 1: about Doug since Here we Go, Here we Go, my

247
00:12:15,988 --> 00:12:22,748
Speaker 1: favorite Nickelodeon show back in the Yeah. Speaking of Nickelodeon

248
00:12:22,868 --> 00:12:28,108
Speaker 1: Christmas Day, Hey, now are you doing it? Yeah? I'll

249
00:12:28,148 --> 00:12:31,788
Speaker 1: be there at jim Ifee with your thoughts here on

250
00:12:31,788 --> 00:12:33,988
Speaker 1: the whiteboard Friday. I think maybe the first ever know

251
00:12:34,068 --> 00:12:35,948
Speaker 1: they were a handful of rookies guys last season that

252
00:12:36,108 --> 00:12:38,508
Speaker 1: left us all wanting more. Is there a second year

253
00:12:38,508 --> 00:12:41,348
Speaker 1: player matchup that intrigues you the most? Peter, I want

254
00:12:41,348 --> 00:12:44,548
Speaker 1: to see Mac Jones and Zach Wilson again because last

255
00:12:44,628 --> 00:12:48,148
Speaker 1: year it was very lopsided. And Mac and Belichick after

256
00:12:48,388 --> 00:12:51,348
Speaker 1: beating Zach and Sala, they had some like jokes at

257
00:12:51,388 --> 00:12:52,668
Speaker 1: the end. I don't know if you guys remember, they

258
00:12:52,668 --> 00:12:54,988
Speaker 1: were like cracking jokes on the sideline and it was like, oh,

259
00:12:55,068 --> 00:12:58,868
Speaker 1: Belichick looks jovial. You better believe Sala and Zach Wilson

260
00:12:58,948 --> 00:13:02,308
Speaker 1: and those Jets players were watching this. Belichick doesn't giggle.

261
00:13:02,588 --> 00:13:05,668
Speaker 1: Mac Jones shouldn't be rollicking in after this was after

262
00:13:05,748 --> 00:13:08,388
Speaker 1: them blowing out the Jets week eate, they go at

263
00:13:08,388 --> 00:13:10,268
Speaker 1: it again. The Jets are much improved. I don't know

264
00:13:10,308 --> 00:13:12,388
Speaker 1: if the Patriots are, and I don't know who's calling

265
00:13:12,428 --> 00:13:14,788
Speaker 1: the plays, and I know Josh McDaniels isn't in mac

266
00:13:14,868 --> 00:13:17,708
Speaker 1: Jones's ear. So the macin Zack Show are two. We

267
00:13:17,748 --> 00:13:19,588
Speaker 1: need a season from Zach Wilson. We need it, so

268
00:13:19,948 --> 00:13:21,748
Speaker 1: we need it, and we need a season from one

269
00:13:21,788 --> 00:13:24,708
Speaker 1: of these. I love this justin Fields versus Trey Lance.

270
00:13:24,828 --> 00:13:28,508
Speaker 1: It's both in their second year, both incredibly talented guys

271
00:13:28,508 --> 00:13:31,268
Speaker 1: that I don't know what's coming. I have no idea.

272
00:13:31,508 --> 00:13:34,628
Speaker 1: And this is also really early, really early in the schedule.

273
00:13:34,668 --> 00:13:39,268
Speaker 1: Oftener Bears, Niners, Niners, huge expectations. Bears. Okay, we're talking

274
00:13:39,268 --> 00:13:40,868
Speaker 1: about the Bears like three weeks and we're like, we

275
00:13:40,908 --> 00:13:43,028
Speaker 1: all the Cats got our tongue every time they come up.

276
00:13:43,868 --> 00:13:46,028
Speaker 1: Even Bears fans just don't have a foothold. They keep

277
00:13:46,108 --> 00:13:48,268
Speaker 1: using that term up. What is ebraflus? What is fields?

278
00:13:48,268 --> 00:13:50,348
Speaker 1: We don't know. We're gonna find out fast because I

279
00:13:50,388 --> 00:13:52,108
Speaker 1: don't care who the quarterbacks to the Niners. They will

280
00:13:52,108 --> 00:13:54,068
Speaker 1: tune you up if you're not ready to play. And

281
00:13:54,148 --> 00:13:56,268
Speaker 1: the Lance things like, we still don't even want to

282
00:13:56,308 --> 00:13:58,548
Speaker 1: say that it's his job. We still are not sure

283
00:13:58,668 --> 00:14:01,108
Speaker 1: Jimmy's not gonna be on the team Lance versus Fields.

284
00:14:01,148 --> 00:14:03,188
Speaker 1: Let's settle this early on. No waiting. Peter's really trying

285
00:14:03,228 --> 00:14:05,908
Speaker 1: with Mooney though a lot of I've been pushing Darnell

286
00:14:05,988 --> 00:14:08,948
Speaker 1: Mooney hard. He's got to be the number one. I

287
00:14:09,028 --> 00:14:12,268
Speaker 1: hear he's great. Yea. They just signed that right and

288
00:14:12,308 --> 00:14:15,628
Speaker 1: say it used to be on the Niners. Um, he's

289
00:14:15,628 --> 00:14:18,548
Speaker 1: a baron ye all right. So we talked about these

290
00:14:18,628 --> 00:14:21,708
Speaker 1: late season games and we hope that this game will

291
00:14:21,748 --> 00:14:23,388
Speaker 1: have some type of significance, and it could for a

292
00:14:23,428 --> 00:14:26,188
Speaker 1: couple of reasons. One, these squads could be good lists

293
00:14:26,428 --> 00:14:29,348
Speaker 1: we've seen quick turnarounds before. But also because we see

294
00:14:29,388 --> 00:14:31,788
Speaker 1: two guys that are going to be facing each other

295
00:14:31,828 --> 00:14:34,708
Speaker 1: for quite some time, and that are forever linked. Trevor

296
00:14:34,748 --> 00:14:38,188
Speaker 1: Lawrence and Zach Wilson all right, and they both both

297
00:14:38,228 --> 00:14:40,748
Speaker 1: individuals got some help, whether that was in free agency

298
00:14:40,828 --> 00:14:42,708
Speaker 1: or the draft, So all of a sudden, these guys

299
00:14:42,788 --> 00:14:45,308
Speaker 1: have more weapons that are surrounding them. On top of that,

300
00:14:45,788 --> 00:14:49,028
Speaker 1: I get it. The records between these guys, it's terrible.

301
00:14:49,108 --> 00:14:50,388
Speaker 1: I'm not even gonna read it out to you, but

302
00:14:50,388 --> 00:14:54,108
Speaker 1: it's just terrible. But their gameplay has improved. Wich sixteen,

303
00:14:54,148 --> 00:14:57,908
Speaker 1: Week sixteen late season matchup, Trevor Lawrence Zach Wilson. I

304
00:14:57,948 --> 00:14:59,788
Speaker 1: do feel like this game is going to be excited.

305
00:14:59,828 --> 00:15:01,868
Speaker 1: I hope it's exciting. No, I want to say, the

306
00:15:01,908 --> 00:15:04,668
Speaker 1: future of foot anybody watching that game, Judge Jackson going

307
00:15:04,708 --> 00:15:06,228
Speaker 1: to be a game like I hope it is. But

308
00:15:06,348 --> 00:15:08,588
Speaker 1: Week sixteen, I hear Jets Jags and I'm like, oh man,

309
00:15:08,628 --> 00:15:10,388
Speaker 1: I don't know, I know, and I hear you on that.

310
00:15:10,428 --> 00:15:12,508
Speaker 1: But then on the flip side, you have these two guys,

311
00:15:12,668 --> 00:15:14,748
Speaker 1: because we're gonna watch it for the barguments, the water

321
00:15:53,988 --> 00:15:56,828
Speaker 1: seventy two games of the twenty twenty two season. They

322
00:15:57,188 --> 00:16:00,428
Speaker 1: make the schedule, big ruling labor of love. I'm sure.

323
00:16:00,428 --> 00:16:02,828
Speaker 1: Please welcome back to the table. VP of NFL Broadcast

324
00:16:02,908 --> 00:16:10,908
Speaker 1: Planning Mike North and NFL Director Broadcasting Traditions. Yeah, annual traditions.

325
00:16:10,988 --> 00:16:15,628
Speaker 1: You guys feel good? Is it like now? Yeah? Getting there? Okay,

326
00:16:15,708 --> 00:16:17,228
Speaker 1: I saw you guys a few days ago. You seem

327
00:16:17,268 --> 00:16:20,548
Speaker 1: a little less stressed right now. It's the best and

328
00:16:20,948 --> 00:16:23,548
Speaker 1: worst day of the year. It really is. We've been

329
00:16:23,588 --> 00:16:28,068
Speaker 1: at this fourteen weeks. Nobody's happy, nobody's too happy, nobody's

330
00:16:28,068 --> 00:16:30,308
Speaker 1: too on the okay, So that's a that's a pretty

331
00:16:30,308 --> 00:16:32,948
Speaker 1: good sign. You know, the clubs all got their schedules first,

332
00:16:33,348 --> 00:16:35,268
Speaker 1: and as we said to you. You know, when we

333
00:16:35,268 --> 00:16:38,268
Speaker 1: talked on CBS this morning, it was emotional, little visceral

334
00:16:38,308 --> 00:16:39,708
Speaker 1: that first schedule. You know, when do we have to

335
00:16:39,708 --> 00:16:42,068
Speaker 1: go to Lambo? When's our buy? What's our primetime games?

336
00:16:42,148 --> 00:16:43,908
Speaker 1: Now it's calmed down for a day or two, and

337
00:16:43,948 --> 00:16:45,468
Speaker 1: now everybody's really starting to look at it, and they're

338
00:16:45,468 --> 00:16:47,268
Speaker 1: really starting to digest it. So we're getting some text

339
00:16:47,268 --> 00:16:48,828
Speaker 1: we're geting some of emails, Hey did you know did

340
00:16:48,868 --> 00:16:50,908
Speaker 1: you realize? Why did you do this? Why didn't you

341
00:16:50,908 --> 00:16:52,228
Speaker 1: do that? And then we went with all the network

342
00:16:52,268 --> 00:16:55,668
Speaker 1: partners yesterday and every single one of them similar reaction.

343
00:16:55,788 --> 00:16:58,348
Speaker 1: They got their schedules, just their schedules first, so they

344
00:16:58,348 --> 00:17:00,268
Speaker 1: looked at their schedules and they're like, hey, this is great.

345
00:17:00,308 --> 00:17:02,548
Speaker 1: And then later on on your show when the whole

346
00:17:02,588 --> 00:17:05,308
Speaker 1: thing came out, they said, hey, wait a minute, why

347
00:17:05,308 --> 00:17:06,908
Speaker 1: did they get that one? We would have liked to

348
00:17:06,908 --> 00:17:09,108
Speaker 1: have that one. So a bit of a balancing act,

349
00:17:09,148 --> 00:17:12,508
Speaker 1: but so far, so good. Pretty care. It's a grueling process.

350
00:17:12,548 --> 00:17:14,348
Speaker 1: I thought he was going to say, we wait a

351
00:17:14,348 --> 00:17:16,108
Speaker 1: couple of days and we start doing the next one.

352
00:17:16,148 --> 00:17:17,948
Speaker 1: Is that true? How long did you wait? And give

353
00:17:17,988 --> 00:17:20,548
Speaker 1: yourself a break? Hopefully a vacation to kick off twenty

354
00:17:20,788 --> 00:17:23,028
Speaker 1: you're going to give my god, I'd love to know

355
00:17:23,068 --> 00:17:24,908
Speaker 1: how many versions of the schedule you guys went through

356
00:17:24,948 --> 00:17:27,468
Speaker 1: before you got the final one. Honestly, we definitely start

357
00:17:27,548 --> 00:17:29,348
Speaker 1: planning over the course of the summer for next year,

358
00:17:29,468 --> 00:17:31,908
Speaker 1: especially we have new packages, new TV packages next year,

359
00:17:31,948 --> 00:17:33,828
Speaker 1: where things are going to be totally different. Everything's going

360
00:17:33,868 --> 00:17:35,748
Speaker 1: to be on conference, we'll have some new windows, so

361
00:17:35,828 --> 00:17:37,948
Speaker 1: it's going to be a totally different animal next year.

362
00:17:37,988 --> 00:17:40,268
Speaker 1: But we can't really get started until after the regular

363
00:17:40,268 --> 00:17:42,828
Speaker 1: season because the matchups aren't determined some of the standing

364
00:17:42,868 --> 00:17:45,068
Speaker 1: space until the regular season actually ends. So this summer

365
00:17:45,068 --> 00:17:46,588
Speaker 1: will be interesting. There will definitely be a lot of

366
00:17:46,588 --> 00:17:49,108
Speaker 1: planning with the new packages coming up. But this year,

367
00:17:49,148 --> 00:17:51,108
Speaker 1: in particular, I think we got through what Mike like

368
00:17:51,148 --> 00:17:54,668
Speaker 1: one hundred and nineteen thousand finished playable schedules that we

369
00:17:54,748 --> 00:17:56,428
Speaker 1: put eyes on every single one of those. Some of

370
00:17:56,508 --> 00:17:58,388
Speaker 1: them are pretty quick of nope, we got to throw

371
00:17:58,388 --> 00:17:59,908
Speaker 1: this one out for that one game and that spot

372
00:17:59,908 --> 00:18:01,508
Speaker 1: that's absolutely not going to happen, and a lot of

373
00:18:01,588 --> 00:18:03,428
Speaker 1: them were actually doing deep dives on so it's a

374
00:18:03,708 --> 00:18:06,868
Speaker 1: pretty ridicus process. At the bamble of the Day Week one, Kickoff,

375
00:18:07,348 --> 00:18:11,908
Speaker 1: Rams Bills, September eighth. You guys make an album track

376
00:18:11,988 --> 00:18:14,388
Speaker 1: one gotta be a banger, all right? You got the

377
00:18:14,388 --> 00:18:16,068
Speaker 1: super Bowl, you got you gotta come out of the gates.

378
00:18:16,508 --> 00:18:18,628
Speaker 1: You had the Rams, super Bowl champs. What one in

379
00:18:18,708 --> 00:18:20,828
Speaker 1: Mike to choosing of all the other thirty one teams

380
00:18:20,908 --> 00:18:23,708
Speaker 1: the Bills? Why why the Bills? Yeah? Truth is, we

381
00:18:23,748 --> 00:18:25,588
Speaker 1: had a lot of good options for kickoff this year.

382
00:18:25,708 --> 00:18:28,668
Speaker 1: There are years when the Super Bowl champs are known

383
00:18:28,788 --> 00:18:31,028
Speaker 1: and then you look at their eight home opponents now

384
00:18:31,148 --> 00:18:32,788
Speaker 1: nine maybe, and you're like, that's the one. And there

385
00:18:32,788 --> 00:18:34,388
Speaker 1: are years where we might lock that one in very

386
00:18:34,428 --> 00:18:36,708
Speaker 1: early the process, and wherever we go from there we go.

387
00:18:37,108 --> 00:18:39,148
Speaker 1: This year was different. You could have done Buffalo, you

388
00:18:39,148 --> 00:18:41,468
Speaker 1: could have done Denver. You could have done the Raiders.

389
00:18:41,508 --> 00:18:43,628
Speaker 1: You could have done Dallas again. You could have done

390
00:18:43,748 --> 00:18:45,868
Speaker 1: SAMs frand they played three great games last year, the

391
00:18:45,948 --> 00:18:48,028
Speaker 1: Niners in the Rams. Any one of those would have worked.

392
00:18:48,028 --> 00:18:49,988
Speaker 1: So at some point in the process we went down

393
00:18:50,028 --> 00:18:52,188
Speaker 1: each one of those paths. What does a schedule look

394
00:18:52,188 --> 00:18:53,828
Speaker 1: like if we open with this, What does schedule look

395
00:18:53,868 --> 00:18:55,508
Speaker 1: like we open with that? And whatever you do with

396
00:18:55,548 --> 00:18:57,748
Speaker 1: this game means you can't do it the same thing,

397
00:18:57,748 --> 00:18:59,908
Speaker 1: but that game for somebody else. So all right, if

398
00:18:59,908 --> 00:19:02,308
Speaker 1: they get buff Rams, then they're gonna get Tampa Rams.

399
00:19:02,308 --> 00:19:03,908
Speaker 1: And if they get Tampa Rams, and they're gonna get

400
00:19:03,948 --> 00:19:06,508
Speaker 1: Green Bays. Around and around you go, just trying to

401
00:19:06,508 --> 00:19:10,668
Speaker 1: figure out how to hopefully satisfy everybody. But once Buffalo

402
00:19:10,788 --> 00:19:13,948
Speaker 1: Rams kind of settled into that leadoff spot, we felt

403
00:19:13,948 --> 00:19:16,028
Speaker 1: great about it. Yeah, we did it. Like you two

404
00:19:16,108 --> 00:19:18,628
Speaker 1: could be working for NASA, or you could be doing

405
00:19:18,708 --> 00:19:21,428
Speaker 1: anything you want in the government, and yet you love

406
00:19:21,828 --> 00:19:25,028
Speaker 1: making the NFL schedule and we love having you both on.

407
00:19:25,108 --> 00:19:27,708
Speaker 1: You're both brilliant. And the Bills in the Chiefs game

408
00:19:27,868 --> 00:19:30,308
Speaker 1: was the greatest game I've ever seen in my life.

409
00:19:30,308 --> 00:19:31,628
Speaker 1: And we came in the next morning. We did a

410
00:19:31,628 --> 00:19:34,108
Speaker 1: montage of it yesterday saying how incredible it was week

411
00:19:34,268 --> 00:19:38,108
Speaker 1: six in an early window. What are we talking about?

412
00:19:38,148 --> 00:19:41,788
Speaker 1: Why is that on Monday night, Sunday night? What are

413
00:19:41,828 --> 00:19:44,348
Speaker 1: you talking Yeah, it sort of comes down to, like

414
00:19:44,428 --> 00:19:46,868
Speaker 1: we just said here with if you put the Bills

415
00:19:46,908 --> 00:19:49,948
Speaker 1: Rams game on kickoff, then that's on NBC. So what's

416
00:19:49,948 --> 00:19:52,668
Speaker 1: the good Rams game for CBS, what's the good Rams

417
00:19:52,668 --> 00:19:55,468
Speaker 1: game for Fox? Same thing with this one Buffalo Kansas City.

418
00:19:55,588 --> 00:19:56,948
Speaker 1: You could have put it on Sunday night, You could

419
00:19:56,948 --> 00:19:58,228
Speaker 1: have put it on Monday night, you could have put

420
00:19:58,268 --> 00:19:59,828
Speaker 1: it on Thursday night. We decided to put it in

421
00:19:59,868 --> 00:20:02,628
Speaker 1: the Sunday afternoon package for twenty five window on CBS.

422
00:20:02,988 --> 00:20:05,068
Speaker 1: Gonna probably be their most watch game of the season,

423
00:20:05,668 --> 00:20:07,228
Speaker 1: and you kind of put it in as part of

424
00:20:07,228 --> 00:20:10,148
Speaker 1: the season where it's not too early, but it's not

425
00:20:10,188 --> 00:20:12,348
Speaker 1: too late. None of us know anything in this league, right.

426
00:20:12,388 --> 00:20:14,908
Speaker 1: You hope everybody's still in playoff contention, You hope everybody's

427
00:20:14,948 --> 00:20:17,628
Speaker 1: still healthy. But sort of that mid October kind of

428
00:20:17,668 --> 00:20:20,548
Speaker 1: everybody's kind of ridden the wave of opening the season

429
00:20:20,588 --> 00:20:22,908
Speaker 1: and okay, what is my team this year? Are we

430
00:20:22,988 --> 00:20:25,148
Speaker 1: two and two? Are we four? And oh we're better

431
00:20:25,148 --> 00:20:26,788
Speaker 1: than we thought, We're worse than we thought, but we're

432
00:20:26,828 --> 00:20:29,668
Speaker 1: gonna be okay, are we switching quarterbacks? You start to

433
00:20:29,748 --> 00:20:32,468
Speaker 1: ride that initial wave and then bang, right here in October,

434
00:20:32,508 --> 00:20:35,308
Speaker 1: you get reminded, oh yeah, that buff KC game from

435
00:20:35,388 --> 00:20:37,908
Speaker 1: last year definitely one of the all timers. You throw

436
00:20:37,948 --> 00:20:39,708
Speaker 1: it in there in October. There's still a lot of

437
00:20:39,748 --> 00:20:41,588
Speaker 1: good stuff to come though. That's the beautiful part of

438
00:20:41,588 --> 00:20:43,828
Speaker 1: this year's schedule, there's so many big games, so many

439
00:20:43,908 --> 00:20:46,388
Speaker 1: must CTV games, kind of slotting that win in October

440
00:20:46,468 --> 00:20:48,228
Speaker 1: kind of tent pole for CBS right in the middle

441
00:20:48,228 --> 00:20:49,348
Speaker 1: of the season, and they still got a lot of

442
00:20:49,348 --> 00:20:52,028
Speaker 1: good stuff to come afterwards. Charlotte, the AFC West, they

443
00:20:52,028 --> 00:20:55,988
Speaker 1: have nineteen primetime games that second most of the twenty

444
00:20:55,988 --> 00:20:58,708
Speaker 1: fifteen NFC East. We know that they have superstars, we

445
00:20:58,748 --> 00:21:00,508
Speaker 1: know that they have players in that division, but how

446
00:21:00,548 --> 00:21:03,468
Speaker 1: tough is it to spread that primetime love around when

447
00:21:03,468 --> 00:21:06,748
Speaker 1: you're creating these primetime scheduled games. This year, the West

448
00:21:06,868 --> 00:21:09,828
Speaker 1: is actually super interesting. Obviously, a lot of the talents

449
00:21:09,868 --> 00:21:13,228
Speaker 1: move west. We have some really young, exciting quarterbacks in

450
00:21:13,268 --> 00:21:15,748
Speaker 1: the AFCUS and the NFC West. It's it's a pretty

451
00:21:15,748 --> 00:21:17,908
Speaker 1: fun division. But you know, the interesting thing from a

452
00:21:17,948 --> 00:21:20,668
Speaker 1: schedule perspective is when you look at the way that

453
00:21:20,708 --> 00:21:24,268
Speaker 1: the schedules constructed, all those four o'clock home games have

454
00:21:24,388 --> 00:21:25,908
Speaker 1: to be played at four pm. They can't be played

455
00:21:25,948 --> 00:21:28,428
Speaker 1: in our one o'clock window when they're playing at home.

456
00:21:28,948 --> 00:21:32,948
Speaker 1: So yeah, so you think about it and you're like, Okay,

457
00:21:32,988 --> 00:21:34,988
Speaker 1: the meat and the potatoes of the NFL is our

458
00:21:35,028 --> 00:21:38,028
Speaker 1: one o'clock window on Sunday afternoon, but those home games

459
00:21:38,028 --> 00:21:39,948
Speaker 1: cannot be played at one o'clock. They're played at four o'clock,

460
00:21:39,988 --> 00:21:42,428
Speaker 1: where we generally have kind of that marque doubleheader game

461
00:21:42,428 --> 00:21:44,468
Speaker 1: on CBS or Fox. You don't want to have something

462
00:21:44,508 --> 00:21:46,868
Speaker 1: that's too strong opposing that's that you're kind of splitting

463
00:21:46,868 --> 00:21:50,268
Speaker 1: eyeballs across the country. So with the relative strength, we're

464
00:21:50,268 --> 00:21:52,788
Speaker 1: trying to use those games strategically, putting them in prime.

465
00:21:52,828 --> 00:21:54,988
Speaker 1: And also they're great games we should be putting in.

466
00:21:55,108 --> 00:21:57,428
Speaker 1: And who does the SCS play in the crossover conference,

467
00:21:57,508 --> 00:22:00,948
Speaker 1: the NFC West, So the West teams in both conferences

468
00:22:00,948 --> 00:22:02,668
Speaker 1: are playing each other, so that's a whole extra You

469
00:22:02,708 --> 00:22:04,388
Speaker 1: weren't going to have a ten am those late games

470
00:22:04,668 --> 00:22:06,708
Speaker 1: not gonna have a tenam kickoff, and all those West

471
00:22:06,788 --> 00:22:08,948
Speaker 1: versus West games, not just within the division, but the

472
00:22:08,988 --> 00:22:12,548
Speaker 1: interconference games now Raiders, Rams and Chargers, Niners and all

473
00:22:12,548 --> 00:22:14,508
Speaker 1: those have to find a good home too. So there's

474
00:22:14,548 --> 00:22:16,348
Speaker 1: no doubt that was a big part of the process.

475
00:22:17,388 --> 00:22:20,868
Speaker 1: How much do we love schedule making love We're fascinated

476
00:22:20,908 --> 00:22:23,188
Speaker 1: every year. I loved this, and then you guys want

477
00:22:23,188 --> 00:22:24,948
Speaker 1: to start it after the season ends, and then I

478
00:22:24,948 --> 00:22:27,428
Speaker 1: imagine how fun it must be when a Tom Brady

479
00:22:27,508 --> 00:22:30,628
Speaker 1: retires and on retires and a big sweeing happens at

480
00:22:30,628 --> 00:22:33,388
Speaker 1: the quarterback spot, like when Russell Wilson decided that he

481
00:22:33,428 --> 00:22:35,748
Speaker 1: would not be returning to Seattle. And you guys have

482
00:22:35,748 --> 00:22:37,868
Speaker 1: to weigh all of that in the balance. So let's

483
00:22:37,868 --> 00:22:39,348
Speaker 1: look at this here. Why did you guys decide that

484
00:22:39,428 --> 00:22:43,148
Speaker 1: Russ's first regular season game in that Broncos uniform, Broncos Country,

485
00:22:43,188 --> 00:22:46,228
Speaker 1: Let's Go, would be against the Seahawks and in primetime. Yeah,

486
00:22:46,228 --> 00:22:47,628
Speaker 1: that was another one that we looked at a lot

487
00:22:47,668 --> 00:22:49,828
Speaker 1: of different homes for. It wasn't like, oh, we know

488
00:22:49,908 --> 00:22:51,348
Speaker 1: for sure we're going to do that Week one, we're

489
00:22:51,348 --> 00:22:53,508
Speaker 1: gonna do it on ESPN let's go. Yeah, it could

490
00:22:53,508 --> 00:22:55,388
Speaker 1: be Sunday night, could be Monday night. We thought about

491
00:22:55,388 --> 00:22:57,068
Speaker 1: it on Thursday night for a while. That one that

492
00:22:57,148 --> 00:22:59,148
Speaker 1: needed to be in prime time, right, We needed a

493
00:22:59,188 --> 00:23:03,028
Speaker 1: whole day's worth of reminder of what he meant to Seattle,

494
00:23:03,188 --> 00:23:06,268
Speaker 1: all the success they had. So true, you saved that

495
00:23:06,308 --> 00:23:09,228
Speaker 1: game for week ten or so. And now obviously the

496
00:23:09,228 --> 00:23:12,508
Speaker 1: focus is on this season, right and the Seahawks could

497
00:23:12,548 --> 00:23:14,588
Speaker 1: be ten and oh and they're not really giving you know,

498
00:23:14,628 --> 00:23:16,868
Speaker 1: a hoot about Russell Wilson and how he's doing in Denver.

499
00:23:16,948 --> 00:23:19,188
Speaker 1: They could be oh in ten heaven forbid, and they

500
00:23:19,188 --> 00:23:22,108
Speaker 1: don't even want to celebrate anybody else's quarterback. So you

501
00:23:22,148 --> 00:23:24,068
Speaker 1: do it nice and early, and you get an opportunity

502
00:23:24,188 --> 00:23:26,388
Speaker 1: to just have the focus right there. You also, to

503
00:23:26,428 --> 00:23:28,588
Speaker 1: a certain extent, get it out of the way. Yeah right,

504
00:23:28,668 --> 00:23:30,668
Speaker 1: you know it's hanging over Russ's head. You know it's

505
00:23:30,668 --> 00:23:33,308
Speaker 1: hanging over the Seahawks head. Let's do it week one.

506
00:23:33,468 --> 00:23:35,268
Speaker 1: Let's celebrate it, let's get it over with, and then

507
00:23:35,348 --> 00:23:37,628
Speaker 1: let's play. It's right for so many reasons. It's right,

508
00:23:38,188 --> 00:23:40,708
Speaker 1: and it's exciting, and it's like I like how Rich

509
00:23:40,748 --> 00:23:43,028
Speaker 1: opened the show last night saying, the schedulemaker is showing

510
00:23:43,228 --> 00:23:46,948
Speaker 1: no chill with the week one. It was really funny

511
00:23:46,988 --> 00:23:49,428
Speaker 1: and true. Buffalo Rams. We're gonna be talking about for

512
00:23:49,708 --> 00:23:52,148
Speaker 1: months now leading up you know, the super Bowl champs

513
00:23:52,148 --> 00:23:54,468
Speaker 1: and Josh Allen one of our biggest superstars in that window,

514
00:23:54,708 --> 00:23:57,988
Speaker 1: and your bookend the weekend with that, Russ Wilson returns

515
00:23:58,028 --> 00:24:00,108
Speaker 1: and we got something to look forward to all the while.

516
00:24:00,148 --> 00:24:02,108
Speaker 1: Still through the middle, you got the double doubleheader we're

517
00:24:02,108 --> 00:24:04,828
Speaker 1: CBS and Fox both have four twenty five Eastern time games.

518
00:24:04,828 --> 00:24:06,228
Speaker 1: We're going to run it back same as we did

519
00:24:06,308 --> 00:24:08,388
Speaker 1: last year. A Green Bay game on Fox, a KC

520
00:24:08,548 --> 00:24:11,548
Speaker 1: game on CBS, Dallas Tampa Sunday night. We're all gonna

521
00:24:11,548 --> 00:24:13,428
Speaker 1: be Watson that one, and then the book end at

522
00:24:13,428 --> 00:24:15,348
Speaker 1: the end. Great about Week one, You and the crew

523
00:24:15,428 --> 00:24:17,868
Speaker 1: did a great job. The VP of NFL Broadcast Planning

524
00:24:17,868 --> 00:24:20,548
Speaker 1: Mike north An, NFL Director of Broadcasting Charlie Kerry. They

525
00:24:20,548 --> 00:24:23,428
Speaker 1: are two people very much responsible for creating the twenty

526
00:24:23,468 --> 00:24:26,988
Speaker 1: twenty two NFL schedule that we are celebrating and breaking apart.

527
00:24:27,068 --> 00:24:30,228
Speaker 1: Let's talk about the whiplash effect right of Tom Brady's

528
00:24:30,228 --> 00:24:33,268
Speaker 1: retirement then soon to be on retirement. So Michael, start

529
00:24:33,268 --> 00:24:34,988
Speaker 1: with you when he announced that, how do you change

530
00:24:35,028 --> 00:24:38,268
Speaker 1: the trajectory of the Buccaneer schedule any you know, unretires,

531
00:24:38,308 --> 00:24:40,228
Speaker 1: do you switch it back? What's the deal? Yeah? Both,

532
00:24:40,268 --> 00:24:43,788
Speaker 1: I mean honestly, when we started the process he was retired,

533
00:24:43,908 --> 00:24:46,548
Speaker 1: Tampa had a lot of really good games. They played Dallas,

534
00:24:46,548 --> 00:24:48,948
Speaker 1: they played Green Bay, they play LA they play Kansas City.

535
00:24:49,108 --> 00:24:51,348
Speaker 1: We were going to do something with those games anyway, right,

536
00:24:51,388 --> 00:24:53,468
Speaker 1: each of these two hundred and seventy two games are

537
00:24:53,508 --> 00:24:55,988
Speaker 1: an asset. You know, they're an asset for our fans. Right,

538
00:24:56,028 --> 00:24:58,948
Speaker 1: They're not our assets. We're just a couple of drones

539
00:24:58,948 --> 00:25:01,308
Speaker 1: from Sector seven G. You know, these are these are

540
00:25:01,308 --> 00:25:04,268
Speaker 1: our fans assets, and we want them to be able

541
00:25:04,308 --> 00:25:06,788
Speaker 1: to access them in a way that you know, they

542
00:25:06,868 --> 00:25:08,708
Speaker 1: get to see all the musty TV. Like you joked

543
00:25:08,748 --> 00:25:11,868
Speaker 1: about if we'd put buckkc in a one o'clock window

544
00:25:11,948 --> 00:25:14,708
Speaker 1: on CBS available in fourteen percent of the country while

545
00:25:14,708 --> 00:25:16,868
Speaker 1: eight other games were going on, we're not doing our jobs.

546
00:25:17,388 --> 00:25:19,348
Speaker 1: So all those Tampa Bay games, they were really good

547
00:25:19,388 --> 00:25:21,988
Speaker 1: football games, and we would have done something with Kansas City.

548
00:25:21,988 --> 00:25:26,628
Speaker 1: And when Tom unretired, the value of these assets rose,

549
00:25:27,148 --> 00:25:28,828
Speaker 1: and so now we had to rethink, all right, well,

550
00:25:28,868 --> 00:25:30,748
Speaker 1: how many were we going to put in primetime and

551
00:25:30,828 --> 00:25:32,308
Speaker 1: where in the season, and do you want to do

552
00:25:32,348 --> 00:25:33,868
Speaker 1: it early? Do you want to do it late. All

553
00:25:33,908 --> 00:25:35,828
Speaker 1: of a sudden, it was okay, all systems stop, and

554
00:25:35,908 --> 00:25:39,108
Speaker 1: one of Howard Katz's favorite phrases, all systems stop, everybody

555
00:25:39,148 --> 00:25:42,148
Speaker 1: take a breath, Let's reassess, let's analyze. He pulls his

556
00:25:42,188 --> 00:25:44,388
Speaker 1: index cards out of his pocket where he keeps all

557
00:25:44,388 --> 00:25:46,268
Speaker 1: his notes and he says, all right, how about this

558
00:25:46,308 --> 00:25:48,508
Speaker 1: one for Sunday night, this one for Monday night, this

559
00:25:48,548 --> 00:25:50,588
Speaker 1: one for the doubleheader. Let's do it again. And then

560
00:25:50,628 --> 00:25:54,228
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson changes teams, do it again, Tyreek Hill changes teams,

561
00:25:54,308 --> 00:25:56,508
Speaker 1: do it again. We're fans like everybody else. We watch

562
00:25:56,548 --> 00:25:59,228
Speaker 1: Good Morning Football every day. What's the latest news and

563
00:25:59,268 --> 00:26:01,148
Speaker 1: house that's going to change the value of each of

564
00:26:01,148 --> 00:26:04,868
Speaker 1: these assets. Tom Brady is literally the movie groundhauled. He

565
00:26:04,908 --> 00:26:08,548
Speaker 1: wakes up, same song, plan another day, another game, another record.

566
00:26:08,828 --> 00:26:10,588
Speaker 1: So he broke a record last year. So do you

567
00:26:10,588 --> 00:26:13,228
Speaker 1: guys consider Tom Brady breaking the record when you're setting

568
00:26:13,268 --> 00:26:16,068
Speaker 1: up a specific matchup? Quite frankly, it goes. It goes

569
00:26:16,108 --> 00:26:18,188
Speaker 1: into a little bit of our thought process. It's something

570
00:26:18,188 --> 00:26:19,588
Speaker 1: that we have in the background. I don't think that

571
00:26:19,628 --> 00:26:21,428
Speaker 1: we locked games in if oh, we think he's going

572
00:26:21,468 --> 00:26:23,268
Speaker 1: to break it week four this year. It actually ended

573
00:26:23,308 --> 00:26:25,028
Speaker 1: up working out really well. And Mike, I think you

574
00:26:25,108 --> 00:26:30,468
Speaker 1: were there. Thanks Charlotte. I was the game rep the

575
00:26:30,508 --> 00:26:32,948
Speaker 1: broadcasting department. We make the schedule and then we go

576
00:26:32,988 --> 00:26:34,988
Speaker 1: to the games in the fall, working with the TV

577
00:26:35,108 --> 00:26:37,868
Speaker 1: networks commercial timings. What did that announcer just say, what

578
00:26:37,908 --> 00:26:40,068
Speaker 1: was that rule? What was that stat? I was the

579
00:26:40,108 --> 00:26:42,668
Speaker 1: game rep in New England when Tom was going to

580
00:26:42,748 --> 00:26:46,468
Speaker 1: break the passing yards up. We spent the whole week preparing.

581
00:26:46,588 --> 00:26:49,468
Speaker 1: We worked with the PR staffs, the football operations folks,

582
00:26:49,508 --> 00:26:51,588
Speaker 1: referee Bill Vinovitch. We had a whole plan for what

583
00:26:51,628 --> 00:26:54,628
Speaker 1: happened when he broke the record. Fine, and we were

584
00:26:54,708 --> 00:26:56,508
Speaker 1: we had a little countdown clock, like we're counting down

585
00:26:56,548 --> 00:26:58,628
Speaker 1: the new years. He needs forty eight yards, he needs

586
00:26:58,628 --> 00:27:02,348
Speaker 1: twenty nine yards, seventeen yards, he needed seventeen yards, and

587
00:27:02,348 --> 00:27:04,788
Speaker 1: he threw a pass for sixteen and a half yards,

588
00:27:04,868 --> 00:27:06,228
Speaker 1: and everybody kind of looked at each other. Is it

589
00:27:06,308 --> 00:27:07,788
Speaker 1: on the seventeen or the eighteen? Well, if it's on

590
00:27:07,828 --> 00:27:09,708
Speaker 1: the eighteen, he still needs the yard. Is it on

591
00:27:09,748 --> 00:27:12,108
Speaker 1: the seventeen? He just broke the record? Do we stop

592
00:27:12,148 --> 00:27:13,468
Speaker 1: the game? Do we not stop the game? What are

593
00:27:13,508 --> 00:27:15,508
Speaker 1: we gonna do? They put it on the seventeen and

594
00:27:15,588 --> 00:27:18,108
Speaker 1: a half yard line. I whiffed. We totally missed it.

595
00:27:18,268 --> 00:27:20,428
Speaker 1: The moment passed and then we went back. We were like,

596
00:27:20,428 --> 00:27:22,268
Speaker 1: you know what, that was the record. We'd already run

597
00:27:22,268 --> 00:27:24,708
Speaker 1: a play by Then Benevitch went in, got the ball,

598
00:27:24,748 --> 00:27:26,708
Speaker 1: brought it over to Tom. We missed the moment. You

599
00:27:26,748 --> 00:27:30,828
Speaker 1: can imagine Tom's reactions like whatever, we spent a whole

600
00:27:30,828 --> 00:27:33,548
Speaker 1: week preparing and the game rep with so actually we're

601
00:27:33,548 --> 00:27:37,268
Speaker 1: looking for some new game reps. If you need a gig. Hey,

602
00:27:37,628 --> 00:27:40,268
Speaker 1: we got an opening. You got an opening. Okay, what

603
00:27:40,268 --> 00:27:41,828
Speaker 1: are the requ I don't realize you guys did the

604
00:27:41,828 --> 00:27:45,068
Speaker 1: schedule and pretty cool. That is cool. Every week we're

605
00:27:45,068 --> 00:27:47,068
Speaker 1: on the road, poor Charlotte has spent more than one

606
00:27:47,148 --> 00:27:51,068
Speaker 1: Christmas even where were you Houston? Since Houston on Christmas

607
00:27:51,108 --> 00:27:53,748
Speaker 1: Eve and then Kansas City Christmas Day in the freezing rain,

608
00:27:53,828 --> 00:27:55,668
Speaker 1: my mother in law's first game, and she sat in

609
00:27:55,708 --> 00:27:58,988
Speaker 1: the freezing rain and loved it, loved it. Merry Christmas.

610
00:27:59,028 --> 00:28:00,788
Speaker 1: He was looking to make the schedule, show them and

611
00:28:00,788 --> 00:28:02,188
Speaker 1: happen be mabbet when you have to be in that

612
00:28:02,228 --> 00:28:04,188
Speaker 1: freezing ring game in those executives as like you gave

613
00:28:04,268 --> 00:28:06,268
Speaker 1: us this game. This is what happened faith the music

614
00:28:06,268 --> 00:28:09,188
Speaker 1: with then weekend thet naven it's your vegetable. Yes, all right, guys.

615
00:28:09,228 --> 00:28:11,508
Speaker 1: So I saw last night they had Matt Lafloraan on

616
00:28:11,548 --> 00:28:13,508
Speaker 1: the NFL Network and I're going through the schedule I'm

617
00:28:13,548 --> 00:28:15,508
Speaker 1: looking at. They go to London, then they don't have

618
00:28:15,548 --> 00:28:18,388
Speaker 1: a bye afterwards? Is that new? I see some international

619
00:28:18,428 --> 00:28:20,388
Speaker 1: games where the buys used to be no matter what

620
00:28:20,428 --> 00:28:22,468
Speaker 1: international game and then you're on a bye. Right now,

621
00:28:22,468 --> 00:28:24,308
Speaker 1: it looks like a few of these teams chose not

622
00:28:24,428 --> 00:28:26,348
Speaker 1: to or suggested maybe that we're good with that, we'd

623
00:28:26,428 --> 00:28:28,708
Speaker 1: rather have a later in the season by if possible. Yeah. Absolutely.

624
00:28:28,748 --> 00:28:31,068
Speaker 1: You know what's interesting is when we first started going overseas,

625
00:28:31,148 --> 00:28:33,108
Speaker 1: it definitely was a little bit of a new thing.

626
00:28:33,148 --> 00:28:34,988
Speaker 1: Teams would go over like a week early. They'd want

627
00:28:34,988 --> 00:28:36,668
Speaker 1: their buy after, no matter what point in the season

628
00:28:36,708 --> 00:28:38,668
Speaker 1: it was, and they kind of were getting used to it.

629
00:28:38,948 --> 00:28:41,188
Speaker 1: At this point, it's definitely changed and teams have gotten

630
00:28:41,188 --> 00:28:43,388
Speaker 1: more comfortable. It's a little bit just like if you're

631
00:28:43,468 --> 00:28:45,028
Speaker 1: you know, the Giants. It's kind of almost like going

632
00:28:45,028 --> 00:28:46,748
Speaker 1: to the West Coast, right. But the good thing is

633
00:28:46,868 --> 00:28:48,908
Speaker 1: we play at nine thirty am. They get back in

634
00:28:48,948 --> 00:28:52,028
Speaker 1: their building by about two am on Monday morning. So

635
00:28:52,348 --> 00:28:54,388
Speaker 1: at that point do they really need their buy after,

636
00:28:54,548 --> 00:28:56,588
Speaker 1: especially if it's going to be in week four or five?

637
00:28:56,668 --> 00:28:58,468
Speaker 1: Do you really want that early buy and have that

638
00:28:58,548 --> 00:29:00,988
Speaker 1: whole long stretch now that especially, we've expanded the season,

639
00:29:01,028 --> 00:29:04,228
Speaker 1: so you'll see a lot of these early season international

640
00:29:04,228 --> 00:29:06,668
Speaker 1: game teams are opting to not take their by then

641
00:29:06,708 --> 00:29:09,068
Speaker 1: push it later in the season and as a Week fourteen,

642
00:29:09,108 --> 00:29:10,948
Speaker 1: which is going to help them get healthy. And yeah,

643
00:29:11,028 --> 00:29:12,828
Speaker 1: that's it. I think it's a smart decision. Hey, good

644
00:29:12,828 --> 00:29:15,588
Speaker 1: morning football. We have spies, and one of our spies

645
00:29:15,628 --> 00:29:17,788
Speaker 1: has reported to us that they were outside your office

646
00:29:17,788 --> 00:29:19,828
Speaker 1: holding a glass against the door and that Mike, you

647
00:29:19,868 --> 00:29:23,108
Speaker 1: in particular, were cursing the name Bad Bunny. Is that true?

648
00:29:23,148 --> 00:29:25,548
Speaker 1: And can you confirm that? What role did Bad Bunny

649
00:29:25,668 --> 00:29:27,788
Speaker 1: play in the schedule making this year? Because I think

650
00:29:27,788 --> 00:29:29,548
Speaker 1: it was a big one. I'm a big Bad Bunny fan.

651
00:29:29,748 --> 00:29:33,188
Speaker 1: Who isn't Now what's happened, as you guys well know,

652
00:29:33,308 --> 00:29:36,428
Speaker 1: with the pandemic and everything, all the music tours kind

653
00:29:36,468 --> 00:29:40,308
Speaker 1: of stopped and now everybody's going out. To their credit,

654
00:29:40,348 --> 00:29:42,828
Speaker 1: our teams and our stadium operators tried to shove a

655
00:29:42,828 --> 00:29:45,628
Speaker 1: whole bunch of those tours into July and August and

656
00:29:45,628 --> 00:29:47,868
Speaker 1: get him in before a regular season hit. No favors

657
00:29:47,868 --> 00:29:49,948
Speaker 1: to Blake Jones, who worked with us and was responsible

658
00:29:49,948 --> 00:29:52,148
Speaker 1: for creating the preseason schedule. He had his hands full

659
00:29:52,228 --> 00:29:53,468
Speaker 1: this year, but same for us. A couple of the

660
00:29:53,588 --> 00:29:56,868
Speaker 1: dribbled into the regular season. Lady Gaga's out, Elton John's out,

661
00:29:56,948 --> 00:29:59,228
Speaker 1: Bad Bunny Rams teams out. I know you're a big Rams.

662
00:30:02,268 --> 00:30:04,748
Speaker 1: The challenge for us is the stadium operator says, I

663
00:30:04,788 --> 00:30:07,548
Speaker 1: got to book this concert. There's revenue attached, and you

664
00:30:07,588 --> 00:30:09,388
Speaker 1: know the market wants to see it. The head coach

665
00:30:09,388 --> 00:30:10,908
Speaker 1: of the team says, hey, wait a minute, I'm not

666
00:30:10,988 --> 00:30:14,188
Speaker 1: volunteering to go on the road week one. So it's

667
00:30:14,188 --> 00:30:17,468
Speaker 1: this balancing act as always between ye trying to figure

668
00:30:17,468 --> 00:30:19,828
Speaker 1: out what's fair, what isn't fair, what can we accommodate,

669
00:30:19,828 --> 00:30:21,388
Speaker 1: what can't we and what's the cost of it? All

670
00:30:21,468 --> 00:30:23,548
Speaker 1: due respect Elton John, if we'd have had one of

671
00:30:23,548 --> 00:30:26,588
Speaker 1: these hundred nineteen thousand schedules where it truly was our

672
00:30:26,588 --> 00:30:28,468
Speaker 1: best schedule and we were going to play over and

673
00:30:28,548 --> 00:30:30,988
Speaker 1: Elton John request, he might have just had to find

674
00:30:30,988 --> 00:30:36,348
Speaker 1: another nat. Oh my gosh, goodbye Ello Bick Road. We're

675
00:30:36,388 --> 00:30:38,508
Speaker 1: so grateful to you guys from what you do and

676
00:30:38,588 --> 00:30:41,548
Speaker 1: it's incredible. We'll never understand fully what it's like, but

677
00:30:41,628 --> 00:30:44,028
Speaker 1: we are so appreciative. And now it's time for football.

678
00:30:44,148 --> 00:30:46,068
Speaker 1: We're so lucky we get to work on this project.

679
00:30:46,108 --> 00:30:48,548
Speaker 1: It is truly the coolest thing I've ever worked on,

680
00:30:49,308 --> 00:30:51,868
Speaker 1: and we're really lucky to have a great team. Mentioned

681
00:30:51,908 --> 00:30:54,548
Speaker 1: Blake Jones working for Howard Katz. He's been doing this forever.

682
00:30:54,708 --> 00:30:57,548
Speaker 1: Annie Bows helps us on. Schroeder helps us real. Shout

683
00:30:57,548 --> 00:31:00,708
Speaker 1: out honestly also to our families, to our spouses. They

684
00:31:00,868 --> 00:31:03,308
Speaker 1: take a brunt of this. The unsung hero of the

685
00:31:03,348 --> 00:31:06,788
Speaker 1: scheduling process. Charlotte's husband Will all right, okay, he has

686
00:31:06,828 --> 00:31:10,148
Speaker 1: to get so many you up texts at like eleven

687
00:31:10,148 --> 00:31:13,108
Speaker 1: o'clock at night. He handles them really, really well, So

688
00:31:13,348 --> 00:31:16,548
Speaker 1: I'll due respect. Will great guy, good golfer. By the way,

689
00:31:16,548 --> 00:31:18,908
Speaker 1: when you're ready, he'll turn your flights into a baby jar.

690
00:31:21,028 --> 00:31:22,828
Speaker 1: Say the words I love it. Thank you so much,

691
00:31:22,908 --> 00:31:24,708
Speaker 1: Charlotte Carrey, and we'll carry by the way. Shout out

692
00:31:24,748 --> 00:31:27,508
Speaker 1: to him, to you, Mike North and your spouse as well,

693
00:31:27,548 --> 00:31:32,788
Speaker 1: and just all your work guys. Wait, Brady just retired again. Sorry, truly,

694
00:31:43,468 --> 00:31:46,268
Speaker 1: welcome back to Good Morning Football. It is my last

695
00:31:46,548 --> 00:31:49,748
Speaker 1: day here, and six years is a long time. I've

696
00:31:49,828 --> 00:31:53,108
Speaker 1: spent a lot of time right here at this breakfast table,

697
00:31:53,148 --> 00:31:55,668
Speaker 1: and today I am truly just a pile of love

698
00:31:55,828 --> 00:31:58,228
Speaker 1: and appreciation for it all. So I want to say

699
00:31:58,228 --> 00:32:01,628
Speaker 1: a few things now. People all the time ask me

700
00:32:01,788 --> 00:32:05,788
Speaker 1: this secret to this show. Fans, players, coaches, family, network

701
00:32:05,828 --> 00:32:09,268
Speaker 1: executives trying to recreate this magic? What is it that

702
00:32:09,388 --> 00:32:12,828
Speaker 1: makes GMFP work? And for years and interviews and elsewhere

703
00:32:12,868 --> 00:32:14,948
Speaker 1: on the street at games, my answer has always been

704
00:32:14,988 --> 00:32:17,868
Speaker 1: the same. It's just for people who really love football

705
00:32:17,908 --> 00:32:20,268
Speaker 1: and fun. For years I've been saying that, and for

706
00:32:20,468 --> 00:32:25,188
Speaker 1: years I have been lying that is entirely untrue. Here's

707
00:32:25,188 --> 00:32:28,028
Speaker 1: what it takes to make Good Morning Football what it is.

708
00:32:28,068 --> 00:32:29,988
Speaker 1: Here's what it takes to make it work. You start

709
00:32:29,988 --> 00:32:34,388
Speaker 1: with a British super producer with very little knowledge of

710
00:32:34,468 --> 00:32:37,868
Speaker 1: the NFL and an idea. That's Michael Davies. Thank you

711
00:32:38,028 --> 00:32:41,708
Speaker 1: Michael for your vision, your unrelenting commitment to making this

712
00:32:41,788 --> 00:32:45,228
Speaker 1: happen with me. Then you need a force like Mark Quinzel.

713
00:32:45,468 --> 00:32:48,308
Speaker 1: Thank you Mark for letting Good Morning Football be Good

714
00:32:48,308 --> 00:32:50,308
Speaker 1: Morning Football. I know for a fact I would not

715
00:32:50,348 --> 00:32:53,308
Speaker 1: have stayed at this table so long without your patients

716
00:32:53,348 --> 00:32:55,668
Speaker 1: and support for our show. I love working for you.

717
00:32:55,868 --> 00:32:57,868
Speaker 1: Thank you for the trust. Now it also doesn't hurt

718
00:32:57,908 --> 00:33:00,348
Speaker 1: to have your boss's approval. Commissioner Roger Goodell, one of

719
00:33:00,388 --> 00:33:02,348
Speaker 1: our first guests on the show in twenty sixteen, and

720
00:33:02,428 --> 00:33:04,868
Speaker 1: that shoebox studio in fifty nine Street, thank you for

721
00:33:04,948 --> 00:33:08,708
Speaker 1: embracing this wildly unconventional morning show. And thanks to the

722
00:33:08,788 --> 00:33:10,948
Speaker 1: league office, the teams, the NFL owners who cheer us

723
00:33:10,948 --> 00:33:13,948
Speaker 1: on and having fun with football. So the key here

724
00:33:14,028 --> 00:33:16,948
Speaker 1: is consistently buying in. That's what this show boils down to.

725
00:33:17,108 --> 00:33:19,228
Speaker 1: It is really hard to do and it brings me

726
00:33:19,508 --> 00:33:21,268
Speaker 1: to these guys because to do that you need a

727
00:33:21,308 --> 00:33:25,028
Speaker 1: goof troop. Kyle Brandt, you are a force. Now, are

728
00:33:25,068 --> 00:33:28,668
Speaker 1: you an absolute maniac? You are, but you are also

729
00:33:29,068 --> 00:33:31,388
Speaker 1: much more than the whip smart ball of energy everyone

730
00:33:31,428 --> 00:33:34,548
Speaker 1: season falls in love with. This man is meticulous. He

731
00:33:34,708 --> 00:33:38,468
Speaker 1: is dedicated to the details. This man refuses to settle

732
00:33:38,468 --> 00:33:40,668
Speaker 1: even over small things because he wants the show to

733
00:33:40,708 --> 00:33:43,388
Speaker 1: be the best he executes. Kyle defines a saying that

734
00:33:43,428 --> 00:33:45,948
Speaker 1: I aspire to be do boldly what you do it all,

735
00:33:45,988 --> 00:33:48,388
Speaker 1: you never mail it in, and thank you for demanding

736
00:33:48,388 --> 00:33:53,628
Speaker 1: everyone's best. Peter Schrager, our editorial compass. You love the

737
00:33:53,748 --> 00:33:56,148
Speaker 1: NFL more than anyone I know, and you know it

738
00:33:56,228 --> 00:33:58,628
Speaker 1: better than anyone I know. You are truly one of

739
00:33:58,668 --> 00:34:01,668
Speaker 1: a kind. Your passion literally is in the driver's seat

740
00:34:01,708 --> 00:34:03,548
Speaker 1: of the show. I cannot count the number of times

741
00:34:03,628 --> 00:34:06,428
Speaker 1: I have sat something happens and I lean on you

742
00:34:06,468 --> 00:34:07,948
Speaker 1: and look at you at a sticky spot, and you

743
00:34:07,988 --> 00:34:10,708
Speaker 1: were always there, wide open to catch everything I throw

744
00:34:10,748 --> 00:34:13,708
Speaker 1: your way. And the next person that sits here is

745
00:34:13,788 --> 00:34:16,308
Speaker 1: really lucky to have you as that lifeline across the table.

746
00:34:16,428 --> 00:34:18,868
Speaker 1: Thanks and Nate Burlison, who I wrote this before I

747
00:34:18,908 --> 00:34:20,628
Speaker 1: knew you were going to be here today, but I

748
00:34:20,628 --> 00:34:23,268
Speaker 1: still wanted to say, obviously, thanks because we feel your

749
00:34:23,268 --> 00:34:26,228
Speaker 1: presence here. We miss you every day and it feels

750
00:34:26,268 --> 00:34:29,028
Speaker 1: like you didn't leave. You are the ultimate teammate. I

751
00:34:29,068 --> 00:34:31,188
Speaker 1: couldn't love you more, and you were the most likable

752
00:34:31,268 --> 00:34:33,988
Speaker 1: person that I've ever met. I don't think any of

753
00:34:34,348 --> 00:34:36,748
Speaker 1: us have ever met this show. All the things I

754
00:34:36,788 --> 00:34:38,708
Speaker 1: said are fine. None of it would have worked without you,

755
00:34:39,028 --> 00:34:41,188
Speaker 1: not literally none of it. You made it all work.

756
00:34:41,628 --> 00:34:43,508
Speaker 1: You can do it all, and that seems been empty

757
00:34:43,548 --> 00:34:46,988
Speaker 1: for a while. So you understand why I appreciate so

758
00:34:47,028 --> 00:34:50,988
Speaker 1: Our show is magic because of this and the uniqueness

759
00:34:51,028 --> 00:34:52,908
Speaker 1: and compassion of a will sell but at the talent

760
00:34:52,948 --> 00:34:56,148
Speaker 1: and patience of Matthew Hamilton, my absolute touchstone and best friend,

761
00:34:56,228 --> 00:34:59,668
Speaker 1: the untiring line of producers over the year, Ziplo, especially

Speaker 1: because he has been here with us since the beginning,

763
00:35:01,628 --> 00:35:04,868

Speaker 1: Vicky's art, Craig who deals with me and grounds me.

765
00:35:07,788 --> 00:35:09,668
Speaker 1: You poor man, you know how to deal with me.

766
00:35:09,788 --> 00:35:11,468
Speaker 1: Tim Brown has been such a huge part of the

767
00:35:11,468 --> 00:35:14,188
Speaker 1: show from the beginning line producers Mark Grillo, Jeff Wheatley,

Speaker 1: every day but still don't quit on me, Sharah and Jessica,

Speaker 1: of magic. So thank you to every person that's ever

784

00:35:59,068 --> 00:36:01,388
Speaker 1: And I just I'm really grateful, and I don't know

786
00:36:01,428 --> 00:36:03,108
Speaker 1: the answers to where I'm going or what I'm doing

787
00:36:03,188 --> 00:36:05,748
Speaker 1: when you'll see me next, but really just has deep gratitudes.

788
00:36:05,748 --> 00:36:08,108
Speaker 1: So thank you, guys. Thank you. Okay, that was really

789
00:36:08,108 --> 00:36:12,188
Speaker 1: really well said, well said a lot, and now it's

790
00:36:12,188 --> 00:36:14,388
Speaker 1: our turn and we want to share our thoughts on

791
00:36:14,588 --> 00:36:16,588
Speaker 1: what makes you special? Okay, I grew up in a

792
00:36:16,628 --> 00:36:19,788
Speaker 1: household with all boys, had four brothers my entire life.

793
00:36:19,988 --> 00:36:22,748
Speaker 1: Meeting you, initially you were my co worker and my friend,

794
00:36:22,908 --> 00:36:25,148
Speaker 1: and I quickly realized you were more like a sister

795
00:36:25,228 --> 00:36:28,028
Speaker 1: to me. So I've been very protective over you in

796
00:36:28,068 --> 00:36:29,748
Speaker 1: the work that you have done, and I've always stood

797
00:36:29,788 --> 00:36:32,548
Speaker 1: by your side and make sure people understood how good

798
00:36:32,588 --> 00:36:34,428
Speaker 1: you are and how much work you put in. It's

799
00:36:34,428 --> 00:36:36,468
Speaker 1: not easy to do this show, especially the way that

800
00:36:36,468 --> 00:36:39,028
Speaker 1: we came in as strangers. We were all trying to

801
00:36:39,068 --> 00:36:41,548
Speaker 1: figure it out. Hit the ground running. There's something very

802
00:36:41,588 --> 00:36:44,588
Speaker 1: beautiful about seeing someone learning on the fly and then

803
00:36:44,668 --> 00:36:46,988
Speaker 1: learning to fly. I saw you spread your wings and

804
00:36:47,028 --> 00:36:49,748
Speaker 1: it was incredible. You didn't just impact the NFL world,

805
00:36:49,788 --> 00:36:52,428
Speaker 1: you made an impact outside the studio. So whatever you

806
00:36:52,428 --> 00:36:53,988
Speaker 1: do next, you're going to be good at it. Damn

807
00:36:54,028 --> 00:36:55,468
Speaker 1: good at it. And like I told you in the

808
00:36:55,508 --> 00:36:58,028
Speaker 1: text message, always got your bet. Just like I said

809
00:36:58,028 --> 00:37:01,148
Speaker 1: from day one, thank you. It's really well said name.

810
00:37:01,428 --> 00:37:03,348
Speaker 1: I've been thinking a lot about this. I think part

811
00:37:03,348 --> 00:37:05,148
Speaker 1: of what we do here, part of what comes with

812
00:37:05,188 --> 00:37:07,628
Speaker 1: what we do here, is that we get asked by

813
00:37:07,748 --> 00:37:11,428
Speaker 1: viewers and fans and tweeters and coaches and executives. So

814
00:37:12,108 --> 00:37:13,588
Speaker 1: you guys all hang out all the time like are

815
00:37:13,588 --> 00:37:16,148
Speaker 1: you guys best friends? And the answer is no. We

816
00:37:16,228 --> 00:37:18,388
Speaker 1: somehow we pull it off. You know, Okay, I'm not

817
00:37:18,428 --> 00:37:20,668
Speaker 1: your best friend, you're not my best friend. And yet

818
00:37:20,708 --> 00:37:24,108
Speaker 1: I think it's very special what happens right here, not

819
00:37:24,188 --> 00:37:26,308
Speaker 1: on the street, on the whole way here. And there's

820
00:37:26,348 --> 00:37:29,108
Speaker 1: one thing in particular that I will always really smile about.

821
00:37:29,188 --> 00:37:30,948
Speaker 1: There's a thing that happens on our side of the

822
00:37:30,948 --> 00:37:35,388
Speaker 1: table when there's an oh crap moment where maybe it's

823
00:37:35,428 --> 00:37:37,588
Speaker 1: a guest who's a little bit weird, or it goes

824
00:37:37,628 --> 00:37:39,468
Speaker 1: awry and you and I like short or something like

825
00:37:39,468 --> 00:37:41,028
Speaker 1: what the hell is this guy talking about? Or sometimes

826
00:37:41,028 --> 00:37:42,908
Speaker 1: it's a guest host who like isn't necessarily going to

827
00:37:42,948 --> 00:37:45,188
Speaker 1: be a fit, and there's a sort of battle station's

828
00:37:45,548 --> 00:37:49,668
Speaker 1: unspoken chemistry over here about like we'll get through this, yes,

829
00:37:49,788 --> 00:37:51,948
Speaker 1: And I think that's very rare, and I'm laughing just

830
00:37:51,988 --> 00:37:54,268
Speaker 1: thinking about it. It's a very specific thing that happens,

831
00:37:54,428 --> 00:37:56,788
Speaker 1: and I hope that I have that with whoever is next.

832
00:37:56,788 --> 00:37:58,388
Speaker 1: I don't know if I will, and I hope that

833
00:37:58,428 --> 00:38:00,388
Speaker 1: you have that with whatever is next. It's the thing

834
00:38:00,388 --> 00:38:02,708
Speaker 1: that I will always remember about, an unspoken thing on

835
00:38:02,748 --> 00:38:04,588
Speaker 1: this side of the table, and that when we set

836
00:38:04,588 --> 00:38:07,348
Speaker 1: down here, we made it work. And I'm very very

837
00:38:07,388 --> 00:38:09,388
Speaker 1: grateful for that, and I'm grateful for your time to

838
00:38:09,588 --> 00:38:12,508
Speaker 1: thank you. Ky welcome. I'm getting very emotional right now.

839
00:38:12,548 --> 00:38:15,708
Speaker 1: I see you're getting emotion. I'm sorry to Kyle's point.

840
00:38:15,748 --> 00:38:18,188
Speaker 1: My camera's right here, but Kay leaning a little bit

841
00:38:18,228 --> 00:38:22,268
Speaker 1: so everyone knows hey more than in the scene that

842
00:38:22,428 --> 00:38:24,588
Speaker 1: is what I see every day. So if you're watching

843
00:38:24,588 --> 00:38:26,668
Speaker 1: at home, I'm staring at a camera in one eye,

844
00:38:26,708 --> 00:38:28,428
Speaker 1: but I've got Kay and my other eye, and you

845
00:38:28,508 --> 00:38:31,628
Speaker 1: keep me on time, on target. And it's this great

846
00:38:31,668 --> 00:38:33,748
Speaker 1: bond that we have across the table, as we always

847
00:38:33,748 --> 00:38:35,588
Speaker 1: have looked at each other. My son was born on

848
00:38:35,628 --> 00:38:38,788
Speaker 1: October twenty six, twenty sixteen. We happened to my wife

849
00:38:38,828 --> 00:38:40,828
Speaker 1: went into labor. While we're on the show, Nate and Kyle,

850
00:38:40,908 --> 00:38:43,388
Speaker 1: we're not in the segment, and for the rest of

851
00:38:43,428 --> 00:38:45,348
Speaker 1: my life we will have that, but we will also

852
00:38:45,348 --> 00:38:48,668
Speaker 1: have the last six years. You are beautiful, You are amazing.

853
00:38:48,708 --> 00:38:50,668
Speaker 1: You are going to be incredible with whatever you do.

854
00:38:50,748 --> 00:38:53,028
Speaker 1: And I just hope that this room and this show

855
00:38:53,228 --> 00:38:55,308
Speaker 1: is always a warm and welcome place and you feel

856
00:38:55,308 --> 00:38:57,228
Speaker 1: free to come back as often and as many times

857
00:38:57,228 --> 00:38:58,868
Speaker 1: as you want because you built this thing, and we

858
00:38:58,908 --> 00:39:01,748
Speaker 1: are forever grateful. I will and I love you guys,

859
00:39:01,748 --> 00:39:03,988
Speaker 1: and Ate, I can't. It's mean so much to just

860
00:39:04,628 --> 00:39:06,548
Speaker 1: there's this thing and we don't have to even speak

861
00:39:06,588 --> 00:39:10,108
Speaker 1: about it. What this show, the sacrifices everybody makes, and

862
00:39:10,188 --> 00:39:12,548
Speaker 1: the cost of what it is to what we get

863
00:39:12,548 --> 00:39:14,788
Speaker 1: out of it, and it's always exceeded the cost of

864
00:39:14,868 --> 00:39:17,228
Speaker 1: the sacrifice. And I love that you're back here today.

865
00:39:17,268 --> 00:39:20,628
Speaker 1: And I love that this entire crew is behind us,

866
00:39:20,668 --> 00:39:24,108
Speaker 1: this amazing stage crew at SNY, our third studio. My

867
00:39:24,228 --> 00:39:26,388
Speaker 1: agent Josh Leavy is here, who showed up on this

868
00:39:26,428 --> 00:39:29,548
Speaker 1: special day. It's incredible. So thanks to everyone involved. And

869
00:39:29,788 --> 00:39:31,508
Speaker 1: I don't want to talk anymore. I just want to cry,

870
00:39:31,548 --> 00:39:33,748
Speaker 1: So somebody talk. Oh listen. You know playing in the

871
00:39:33,828 --> 00:39:36,188
Speaker 1: NFL for eleven years, Yeah, I didn't realize how much

872
00:39:36,188 --> 00:39:39,228
Speaker 1: I craved the locker room. I wanted desperately to be

873
00:39:39,308 --> 00:39:40,828
Speaker 1: part of the team, and I didn't know that sometimes

874
00:39:40,868 --> 00:39:42,908
Speaker 1: I battle with it. That night, just staring at the wall,

875
00:39:42,948 --> 00:39:45,228
Speaker 1: feeling empty, and so I signed on to do the show.

876
00:39:45,788 --> 00:39:48,108
Speaker 1: I found that feeling. Yeah, and you were the quarterback

877
00:39:48,228 --> 00:39:51,028
Speaker 1: you like making me cries, just keeping it real. Is

878
00:39:53,028 --> 00:39:57,468
Speaker 1: there like a draft Kings? I love you. Everybody give

879
00:39:57,508 --> 00:40:05,948
Speaker 1: it up a batt you like, do it on purpose.

880
00:40:06,068 --> 00:40:13,148
Speaker 1: Just I can't blame Peter was okay with someone else

881
00:40:14,268 --> 00:40:15,388
Speaker 1: the first time I
