00:00:04,428 --> 00:00:06,668
Speaker 1: Good Morning Football is the production of the NFL in

2
00:00:06,748 --> 00:00:19,668
Speaker 1: partnership with iHeartRadio.

3
00:00:22,308 --> 00:00:23,988
Speaker 2: Good Morning Football.

4
00:00:24,148 --> 00:00:25,588
Speaker 3: That's right, this is Good Morning Football.

5
00:00:25,628 --> 00:00:27,548
Speaker 4: We have brought to you my old Trapper Beef Jerky

6
00:00:27,588 --> 00:00:29,508
Speaker 4: favorite meet in the Bag if you're interested in that.

7
00:00:29,548 --> 00:00:31,908
Speaker 4: We are live in LA and New York City. It's

8
00:00:32,028 --> 00:00:35,708
Speaker 4: Friday the thirteenth in December. This is Akwar bos Ban Millet.

9
00:00:35,708 --> 00:00:38,988
Speaker 4: That's Peter Schrager, Kyle Brandt, Nantiteo. I'm Jamie r at All,

10
00:00:39,868 --> 00:00:42,468
Speaker 4: Peter and Kyle. You guys referenced it. But on this

11
00:00:42,548 --> 00:00:45,148
Speaker 4: show we always kind of harp on perhaps a certain

12
00:00:45,228 --> 00:00:47,468
Speaker 4: highlight that we show from games when it like all

13
00:00:47,548 --> 00:00:49,948
Speaker 4: these points and all we show is a field goal. Guys,

14
00:00:50,028 --> 00:00:52,908
Speaker 4: your emotions behind what we saw last hour, which was

15
00:00:53,388 --> 00:00:55,068
Speaker 4: only field goals in a game, yet we never.

16
00:00:54,988 --> 00:00:55,708
Speaker 3: Saw it in a highlight.

17
00:00:56,188 --> 00:00:58,548
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's incredible thing. This goes back years. Sometimes will

18
00:00:58,548 --> 00:01:00,468
Speaker 2: only be allotted two plays to show from a game,

19
00:01:00,468 --> 00:01:02,988
Speaker 2: and they're both field goals. It's like if Tiger shoots

20
00:01:03,028 --> 00:01:04,788
Speaker 2: sixty five and Augusta and we just show is tap

21
00:01:04,828 --> 00:01:07,228
Speaker 2: in on eighteen. It's like, show me the approach he

22
00:01:07,308 --> 00:01:10,548
Speaker 2: had on twelve. Give the people real, actual plays. So

23
00:01:10,628 --> 00:01:14,308
Speaker 2: I have incredible news that after last night's tedious Rams

24
00:01:14,348 --> 00:01:17,268
Speaker 2: forty nine Ers game, our good friends in the highlight

25
00:01:17,308 --> 00:01:20,748
Speaker 2: production department at NFL Media did God's work, and then

26
00:01:20,828 --> 00:01:23,948
Speaker 2: a twelve to six game, we have no field ghalst

27
00:01:23,948 --> 00:01:26,228
Speaker 2: folks man tis fired off back by some of the

28
00:01:26,228 --> 00:01:28,748
Speaker 2: families of Josh Carty and Jake Moody. This is not

29
00:01:28,868 --> 00:01:30,948
Speaker 2: our doing, this is the high life people. I was

30
00:01:30,948 --> 00:01:32,708
Speaker 2: pushing from blaming them again.

31
00:01:33,028 --> 00:01:36,388
Speaker 5: I wanted more Josh Carty, standford rookie going home to

32
00:01:36,428 --> 00:01:38,428
Speaker 5: northern California, crushing his old tea.

33
00:01:38,548 --> 00:01:40,468
Speaker 2: Now, okay, yeah, let's know, all right, I do it.

34
00:01:40,588 --> 00:01:43,308
Speaker 6: Peter wants more field goals. I want a field goal, Peter.

35
00:01:43,388 --> 00:01:44,668
Speaker 6: It's season of miracles, all.

36
00:01:44,588 --> 00:01:47,468
Speaker 2: Right, Maybe for Chris Mussifert, for the holidays, get field

37
00:01:48,388 --> 00:01:51,028
Speaker 2: and that's probably how the Niners season ends. And yet

38
00:01:51,028 --> 00:01:53,148
Speaker 2: it's not because there was a whole controversy about a

39
00:01:53,148 --> 00:01:55,188
Speaker 2: player who refused to enter the game and by them

40
00:01:55,228 --> 00:01:58,468
Speaker 2: for a second, Rams, Rams, Rams, look at them eight

41
00:01:58,508 --> 00:02:01,628
Speaker 2: and six, they were two and four, They are cruising.

42
00:02:01,708 --> 00:02:04,548
Speaker 2: They win twelve to six after winning forty four to

43
00:02:04,588 --> 00:02:07,668
Speaker 2: forty two. What a time to be alive. Afterwards, Let's

44
00:02:07,668 --> 00:02:10,988
Speaker 2: go to the quarterback, Matthew Stafford. Let's go to the

45
00:02:11,028 --> 00:02:12,988
Speaker 2: best head coach in the NFL, Sean McVay.

46
00:02:14,268 --> 00:02:15,348
Speaker 6: You won seven of nine.

47
00:02:15,388 --> 00:02:17,668
Speaker 2: Now, where does this team go from here? We got

48
00:02:17,668 --> 00:02:18,508
Speaker 2: to find a way to get better.

49
00:02:18,508 --> 00:02:20,868
Speaker 7: Obviously, you know it wasn't great today, but we're finding

50
00:02:20,908 --> 00:02:23,188
Speaker 7: ways to win football games, whether it's you know, scoring

51
00:02:23,228 --> 00:02:24,028
Speaker 7: forty four last.

52
00:02:23,868 --> 00:02:25,788
Speaker 2: Week in a shootout, or are leaning on our defense

53
00:02:25,828 --> 00:02:27,548
Speaker 2: in the run game this this week in the rain,

54
00:02:27,708 --> 00:02:29,108
Speaker 2: and find a way to win. That's what it's all about.

55
00:02:29,108 --> 00:02:31,188
Speaker 8: In December, we challenge our guys a few weeks back

56
00:02:31,228 --> 00:02:33,668
Speaker 8: to really say, hey, no matter what happens, let's make

57
00:02:33,668 --> 00:02:36,068
Speaker 8: sure there's no regrets. After the Philly game, Hey, there's

58
00:02:36,468 --> 00:02:38,508
Speaker 8: X amount of days left that we're guaranteed, there's X

59
00:02:38,548 --> 00:02:41,268
Speaker 8: amount of games, X amount of practices. Let's make sure

60
00:02:41,268 --> 00:02:43,068
Speaker 8: that we bring everything that we've got every single day,

61
00:02:43,108 --> 00:02:44,988
Speaker 8: and when we look back on this, no matter what happens,

62
00:02:44,988 --> 00:02:47,268
Speaker 8: there's no regrets. And I think our guys have done

63
00:02:47,268 --> 00:02:47,948
Speaker 8: that since then.

64
00:02:48,708 --> 00:02:50,508
Speaker 2: All right, let's look at the playoff picture. Here.

65
00:02:50,628 --> 00:02:53,788
Speaker 5: The Rams are suddenly not only lurking, but very alive.

66
00:02:53,868 --> 00:02:57,028
Speaker 5: They controlled their own Destiny. They're eight and six. The

67
00:02:57,028 --> 00:02:59,108
Speaker 5: Seahawks are eight and five. Now remember, see if the

68
00:02:59,148 --> 00:03:00,788
Speaker 5: Packers this weekend tough game.

69
00:03:01,228 --> 00:03:03,068
Speaker 2: It doesn't even matter in the division.

70
00:03:03,468 --> 00:03:06,348
Speaker 5: The Rams play this Seahawks our last game of the season,

71
00:03:06,628 --> 00:03:10,148
Speaker 5: head to head in LA. Remember Rams went into Seattle

72
00:03:10,508 --> 00:03:11,988
Speaker 5: beat them a couple of.

73
00:03:11,988 --> 00:03:13,428
Speaker 2: Weeks back in overtime.

74
00:03:13,908 --> 00:03:17,268
Speaker 5: If the Rams win out, they are your division champions.

75
00:03:17,308 --> 00:03:18,348
Speaker 6: In the NFC West.

76
00:03:18,348 --> 00:03:21,508
Speaker 2: They're in the eighth spot right now. Seahawks the three.

77
00:03:21,948 --> 00:03:27,348
Speaker 5: Of course, some great games this week Eagles, Steelers, Lions, Bills, Bucks,

78
00:03:27,388 --> 00:03:29,388
Speaker 5: they play the Chargers. That's not an easy one either.

79
00:03:29,548 --> 00:03:32,108
Speaker 5: Really fun week of football ahead. But the Niners. To

80
00:03:32,108 --> 00:03:34,068
Speaker 5: see them down the six and eight, it's gonna take

81
00:03:34,108 --> 00:03:36,108
Speaker 5: a miracle. I think they got one percent shot.

82
00:03:35,948 --> 00:03:36,388
Speaker 6: At this point.

83
00:03:36,628 --> 00:03:39,508
Speaker 4: No regrets, Sean mcface is not even a single letter.

84
00:03:39,748 --> 00:03:41,748
Speaker 4: You have to think that if you're the NFC. We

85
00:03:41,748 --> 00:03:44,828
Speaker 4: asked this question yesterday on Throwdown Thursday, which team would

86
00:03:44,828 --> 00:03:46,868
Speaker 4: you not want to see in the postseason? And I

87
00:03:46,868 --> 00:03:49,308
Speaker 4: think at the table it was a consensus the Rams.

88
00:03:49,348 --> 00:03:51,628
Speaker 4: After last night, I would double down on that. The

89
00:03:51,708 --> 00:03:54,428
Speaker 4: fact that now they're jockeying for positions still within their

90
00:03:54,468 --> 00:03:58,268
Speaker 4: division However, in the landscape of the NFC, Peter, what

91
00:03:58,308 --> 00:04:00,188
Speaker 4: do you think this does not only for the Rams

92
00:04:00,188 --> 00:04:02,188
Speaker 4: that then they're building on their team, but also the

93
00:04:02,228 --> 00:04:03,748
Speaker 4: rest of the teams that might have to face.

94
00:04:03,588 --> 00:04:07,068
Speaker 5: Them huge because they now have this gust of momentum.

95
00:04:07,188 --> 00:04:10,308
Speaker 5: That's three wins in eleven days, and it includes wins

96
00:04:10,468 --> 00:04:13,308
Speaker 5: over two teams, the Bills and the Niners, who have given.

97
00:04:13,108 --> 00:04:13,948
Speaker 2: Them hell in the past.

98
00:04:14,228 --> 00:04:17,548
Speaker 5: McVay had never beaten Sean McDermott beats him last Sunday,

99
00:04:17,748 --> 00:04:19,828
Speaker 5: and of course we know his demons with Kyle Shanahan

100
00:04:19,828 --> 00:04:24,268
Speaker 5: beat him in his building, essentially eliminating him. What's interesting, though,

101
00:04:24,468 --> 00:04:27,068
Speaker 5: is what versions of the Rams we got the last

102
00:04:27,108 --> 00:04:30,748
Speaker 5: two games. I think we really do obsess over mcvay's

103
00:04:30,868 --> 00:04:33,348
Speaker 5: x's and o's. And I'm not in that film community,

104
00:04:33,388 --> 00:04:36,068
Speaker 5: but like it is Candy watching all the pre snap

105
00:04:36,148 --> 00:04:38,628
Speaker 5: motion and how he uses Nikua and Cup and I

106
00:04:38,628 --> 00:04:39,988
Speaker 5: give dan Orlovski over.

107
00:04:39,868 --> 00:04:40,868
Speaker 2: On ESPN a lot of credit.

108
00:04:40,948 --> 00:04:42,588
Speaker 5: He does a great job of showing it on that

109
00:04:42,668 --> 00:04:45,308
Speaker 5: big board in that glorious studio in New York, and

110
00:04:45,348 --> 00:04:47,748
Speaker 5: he's breaking it all down. I don't even look at

111
00:04:47,828 --> 00:04:49,908
Speaker 5: McVeagh as the x's and o's master. I look at

112
00:04:49,908 --> 00:04:53,388
Speaker 5: guys like Ben Johnson and maybe even you know, Kyle Shanahan.

113
00:04:53,948 --> 00:04:55,868
Speaker 2: To me, McVeagh is the master motivator.

114
00:04:56,308 --> 00:04:59,428
Speaker 5: The fact that they went and scored forty four points

115
00:04:59,468 --> 00:05:01,988
Speaker 5: on Sunday against one of the best teams in football

116
00:05:02,388 --> 00:05:05,348
Speaker 5: and then score twelve and kN move the ball the

117
00:05:05,348 --> 00:05:08,108
Speaker 5: first half and still find a way to win tells

118
00:05:08,148 --> 00:05:11,108
Speaker 5: me that this team is not just one dimensional.

119
00:05:11,188 --> 00:05:12,628
Speaker 2: It's not a bunch of cute plays.

120
00:05:12,668 --> 00:05:13,668
Speaker 6: They're not soft.

121
00:05:14,188 --> 00:05:15,028
Speaker 2: They can win in a.

122
00:05:14,948 --> 00:05:17,348
Speaker 5: Lot of different ways, and that scares me. If I'm

123
00:05:17,388 --> 00:05:20,628
Speaker 5: an opponent, look the Rams, most likely if they get

124
00:05:20,628 --> 00:05:22,868
Speaker 5: in they're the three or the four seed.

125
00:05:23,228 --> 00:05:25,108
Speaker 2: Let's say they're the three seed.

126
00:05:25,348 --> 00:05:26,028
Speaker 6: Let's just say it.

127
00:05:26,068 --> 00:05:26,388
Speaker 2: Whatever.

128
00:05:26,948 --> 00:05:29,388
Speaker 5: They're gonna play like a Vikings or a Packers in

129
00:05:29,428 --> 00:05:31,708
Speaker 5: the first round, and they're gonna do it. If you're

130
00:05:31,748 --> 00:05:34,148
Speaker 5: Green Bay or you're Minnesota, do you want.

131
00:05:33,948 --> 00:05:36,948
Speaker 2: To see the Rams come into here with no? Of course? Not,

132
00:05:37,508 --> 00:05:40,068
Speaker 2: of course not H two two Outwell made the.

133
00:05:40,068 --> 00:05:43,828
Speaker 5: Biggest play last week against the Bills. Kobe Parkinson made

134
00:05:43,828 --> 00:05:45,028
Speaker 5: the biggest play this week.

135
00:05:45,268 --> 00:05:46,788
Speaker 6: Sean mcvay's down it all up.

136
00:05:46,948 --> 00:05:49,628
Speaker 5: It's not pretty last night, but this is the type

137
00:05:49,628 --> 00:05:53,228
Speaker 5: of ways they're winning. Different styles, different ways, and different

138
00:05:53,228 --> 00:05:55,708
Speaker 5: players contributing that all helped come January.

139
00:05:55,948 --> 00:05:58,988
Speaker 9: Yeah, I'm so glad you brought up Shregs Kobe Parkinson

140
00:05:59,068 --> 00:06:01,228
Speaker 9: because this is the reality. There's a guy by the

141
00:06:01,268 --> 00:06:03,388
Speaker 9: name of Tyler Higbee that's been a full participant in

142
00:06:03,388 --> 00:06:05,268
Speaker 9: practice the past two weeks, and I was surprised he

143
00:06:05,308 --> 00:06:07,108
Speaker 9: didn't play last night. If you don't know who Tyler

144
00:06:07,148 --> 00:06:09,508
Speaker 9: Higbye is his there starting tight end. And what does

145
00:06:09,548 --> 00:06:12,268
Speaker 9: Tyler Higbee do for that Rams offense? It makes them

146
00:06:12,268 --> 00:06:15,148
Speaker 9: more potent. That play action pass game now comes alive.

147
00:06:15,188 --> 00:06:17,508
Speaker 9: And what does that play action pass do for a defense?

148
00:06:17,748 --> 00:06:19,668
Speaker 9: It makes me a little bit more hesitant to come

149
00:06:19,708 --> 00:06:21,668
Speaker 9: down the hill. But you've got to come downhill when

150
00:06:21,668 --> 00:06:24,508
Speaker 9: you have Karen Williams. Karen Williams in the backfield. But

151
00:06:24,628 --> 00:06:26,148
Speaker 9: if you do that and you bring the safeties up,

152
00:06:26,148 --> 00:06:27,948
Speaker 9: you still have pookin a cool and you still have

153
00:06:27,988 --> 00:06:30,828
Speaker 9: Cooper Cup. So with Tyler Higbee coming back, it's going

154
00:06:30,868 --> 00:06:33,228
Speaker 9: to add a whole other dimension to this Rams offense.

155
00:06:33,508 --> 00:06:36,468
Speaker 9: That defense last night for the Rams can win you

156
00:06:36,508 --> 00:06:39,188
Speaker 9: a Super Bowl. So with those who combine looking at

157
00:06:39,228 --> 00:06:41,588
Speaker 9: the Rams are looking very dangerous heading into this playoff,

158
00:06:41,748 --> 00:06:43,268
Speaker 9: this playoff push for them.

159
00:06:43,308 --> 00:06:46,268
Speaker 10: Yeah, that playoff push is going to really be predicated

160
00:06:46,348 --> 00:06:48,748
Speaker 10: for for the rams Manti. It's going to really be

161
00:06:48,788 --> 00:06:51,628
Speaker 10: predicated on both sides of the ball. Playing at a

162
00:06:51,748 --> 00:06:54,428
Speaker 10: high level, it was really odd to watch a defensive man.

163
00:06:54,468 --> 00:06:56,668
Speaker 10: It was like watching Floyd Mayweather last night. You know

164
00:06:56,708 --> 00:06:59,348
Speaker 10: it's a defensive performance, but yet you win, and you're

165
00:06:59,348 --> 00:07:01,748
Speaker 10: trying to figure out how they won that. Obviously, defense

166
00:07:01,788 --> 00:07:04,108
Speaker 10: wins championship, but we need to see excitement because the

167
00:07:04,108 --> 00:07:06,228
Speaker 10: one thing we know, like when you talk about playing

168
00:07:06,228 --> 00:07:09,868
Speaker 10: against a potentially a Packers or potentially you know, the Vikings,

169
00:07:09,908 --> 00:07:11,948
Speaker 10: like you know, Peter was talking about, you're gonna have

170
00:07:11,988 --> 00:07:13,788
Speaker 10: to put up some numbers, and we know that they're capable.

171
00:07:13,788 --> 00:07:15,148
Speaker 10: I'm not calling them out and saying you can't put

172
00:07:15,188 --> 00:07:17,268
Speaker 10: up number. It was just very odd that against a

173
00:07:17,348 --> 00:07:19,028
Speaker 10: very good defense that they couldn't.

174
00:07:19,028 --> 00:07:20,108
Speaker 6: I would have loved to have seen that.

175
00:07:20,108 --> 00:07:21,908
Speaker 10: If they would have gone out there and put twenty

176
00:07:21,948 --> 00:07:25,828
Speaker 10: five thirty thirty points on the Niners, a really good defense,

177
00:07:26,308 --> 00:07:29,268
Speaker 10: then I'm really scarred and that that type of defense.

178
00:07:29,508 --> 00:07:31,188
Speaker 10: I need that marriage and I need them to sync

179
00:07:31,268 --> 00:07:32,108
Speaker 10: up at the same time.

180
00:07:32,588 --> 00:07:33,228
Speaker 11: I hear that, I.

181
00:07:33,228 --> 00:07:35,508
Speaker 2: Mean, I think the conditions played a huge role in that,

182
00:07:35,588 --> 00:07:37,908
Speaker 2: But look, the conditions might play a huge role in

183
00:07:37,988 --> 00:07:40,268
Speaker 2: January football. I just I've come to learn over the

184
00:07:40,348 --> 00:07:43,108
Speaker 2: years that the NFL players watch so many of these

185
00:07:43,148 --> 00:07:44,708
Speaker 2: games that they're not playing if they're on a prime

186
00:07:44,748 --> 00:07:46,988
Speaker 2: so they watch Monday, they watched Thursday night. I think

187
00:07:47,028 --> 00:07:51,148
Speaker 2: there were a lot of Vikings, Packers, Lions, Eagles watching

188
00:07:51,228 --> 00:07:53,628
Speaker 2: last night saying crap. I do not want the Rams

189
00:07:53,628 --> 00:07:56,588
Speaker 2: in the playoffs. I genuinely believe that. Look at the alternatives.

190
00:07:56,628 --> 00:08:00,788
Speaker 2: So you have the Commanders, cool story, rookie up and

191
00:08:00,828 --> 00:08:04,788
Speaker 2: coming quarterback. You have the Seahawks, cool story, rook up

192
00:08:04,828 --> 00:08:08,028
Speaker 2: and coming coach, Rams, Stafford and McVeigh. I don't want

193
00:08:08,028 --> 00:08:11,228
Speaker 2: any part of that. These are main guys, friends of ours,

194
00:08:11,588 --> 00:08:15,788
Speaker 2: varsity players, that's all great. I do not want the

195
00:08:15,908 --> 00:08:19,028
Speaker 2: Rams in the playoffs, especially a RAMS team that didn't

196
00:08:19,068 --> 00:08:21,588
Speaker 2: start winning September October and then just eked out enough

197
00:08:21,628 --> 00:08:23,988
Speaker 2: wins to get in a surgey. And RAMS team is

198
00:08:23,988 --> 00:08:26,868
Speaker 2: the worst kind of RAMS team. This guy's with Super

199
00:08:26,868 --> 00:08:29,348
Speaker 2: Bowl rings. This is the guys who completely have been there,

200
00:08:29,388 --> 00:08:31,388
Speaker 2: are not intimidated at all, I don't know how Jayen

201
00:08:31,468 --> 00:08:33,348
Speaker 2: Danl's going to play in the playoffs. I expect, well,

202
00:08:33,468 --> 00:08:35,308
Speaker 2: I don't know how anybody in Seattle's going to do

203
00:08:35,308 --> 00:08:37,308
Speaker 2: in the playoffs. They're not there every single year. I

204
00:08:37,428 --> 00:08:38,908
Speaker 2: just look at the Rams who were there last year

205
00:08:38,948 --> 00:08:41,188
Speaker 2: when no one thought and came in and absolutely looked

206
00:08:41,188 --> 00:08:43,868
Speaker 2: great in the playoffs despite the shortcomings. I do not

207
00:08:43,988 --> 00:08:46,388
Speaker 2: want them. And if I'm an Eagles fan, I am

208
00:08:46,428 --> 00:08:49,348
Speaker 2: a huge Commanders fan. That's the irony where I'm a

209
00:08:49,468 --> 00:08:53,268
Speaker 2: huge any Seahawks fan. I want them to win. There's

210
00:08:53,388 --> 00:08:56,068
Speaker 2: Rams that logo with the curly Q horn the hell

211
00:08:56,068 --> 00:08:57,628
Speaker 2: out of my face that I don't want to see it.

212
00:08:57,668 --> 00:08:58,588
Speaker 2: I think you're going to though.

213
00:08:58,628 --> 00:09:00,708
Speaker 4: They are the ultimate definition of lurking right now, at

214
00:09:00,788 --> 00:09:03,068
Speaker 4: least in the NFC. This time of year, Ian rap Apport,

215
00:09:03,108 --> 00:09:05,668
Speaker 4: we start to really hone in on the health and

216
00:09:05,708 --> 00:09:08,628
Speaker 4: availability of the stars down the stretch. Bill's Lions this

217
00:09:08,708 --> 00:09:11,628
Speaker 4: week in Massive Game. Who's available to these guys?

218
00:09:11,988 --> 00:09:13,588
Speaker 12: You know, Jamie, I think you kind of get on

219
00:09:13,668 --> 00:09:16,188
Speaker 12: me sometimes about only bringing the bad news right. Like

220
00:09:16,228 --> 00:09:18,308
Speaker 12: a lot of times we talk about injuries, and it's

221
00:09:18,348 --> 00:09:20,388
Speaker 12: a lot of times the bad things so let me

222
00:09:20,468 --> 00:09:22,828
Speaker 12: give you some good news. Yes, hey, gear up for

223
00:09:22,948 --> 00:09:26,228
Speaker 12: this big time Bills Lions matchup. A lot of players

224
00:09:26,268 --> 00:09:29,388
Speaker 12: are healthy. They didn't used to be healthy, but starting now,

225
00:09:29,708 --> 00:09:32,628
Speaker 12: like right now, they are healthy. I'll start with Keon Coleman,

226
00:09:32,748 --> 00:09:35,068
Speaker 12: the standout receiver for the buff Foot Bill is really

227
00:09:35,148 --> 00:09:38,268
Speaker 12: promising receiver, battle of wrist injury the last several weeks,

228
00:09:38,268 --> 00:09:40,788
Speaker 12: has not been able to play, has been a full

229
00:09:40,828 --> 00:09:44,788
Speaker 12: participant all week. I'm anticipating him playing for the Bills.

230
00:09:45,148 --> 00:09:49,268
Speaker 12: Daldon Kincaid, their standout tight end, similar situation for him.

231
00:09:49,268 --> 00:09:52,348
Speaker 12: It's been a knee injury at PCL has missed several games.

232
00:09:52,748 --> 00:09:56,468
Speaker 12: Also full participant all week, another player I anticipate being

233
00:09:56,468 --> 00:09:57,028
Speaker 12: out there.

234
00:09:56,868 --> 00:09:59,148
Speaker 2: So Bills should be at full strength.

235
00:09:59,428 --> 00:10:00,948
Speaker 6: Okay, what about the Lions.

236
00:10:01,268 --> 00:10:05,868
Speaker 12: The Lions also are nearing full strength. Tailor their left tackle,

237
00:10:05,908 --> 00:10:08,028
Speaker 12: one of the very good left tackers of the NFL.

238
00:10:08,108 --> 00:10:11,188
Speaker 12: Full participant with the knee injury. He also slated to play.

239
00:10:11,228 --> 00:10:14,868
Speaker 12: And then Nleen McNeil, the big money defensive tackle for

240
00:10:15,068 --> 00:10:18,068
Speaker 12: the Lions. He is coming back from a concussion. He

241
00:10:18,148 --> 00:10:22,348
Speaker 12: too was a full participant. Ce Jamie, nothing but good news.

242
00:10:22,148 --> 00:10:22,588
Speaker 2: For me too.

243
00:10:22,908 --> 00:10:23,588
Speaker 3: It's not me.

244
00:10:23,868 --> 00:10:26,548
Speaker 4: I'm just representative of the people and they want good

245

Speaker 13: When this building was elsewhere, I was on there and

00:13:33,668 --> 00:13:36,628
Speaker 4: will put sixty seconds on the clock. There's fifteen seconds

313
00:13:36,668 --> 00:13:39,148
Speaker 4: allotted for each of you. Will rifle through all the

314
00:13:39,188 --> 00:13:42,548
Speaker 4: games Sunday afternoon. We start with Eagles Steelers Peter. The

315
00:13:42,588 --> 00:13:45,828
Speaker 4: year was nineteen sixty five in Philadelphia. That was the

316
00:13:45,908 --> 00:13:48,548
Speaker 4: last time the Steelers won on the road with their

317
00:13:48,548 --> 00:13:49,468
Speaker 4: in state rivals.

318
00:13:49,468 --> 00:13:50,508
Speaker 3: Can they do it this weekend?

319
00:13:50,868 --> 00:13:52,788
Speaker 2: I think they do have a very good chance.

320
00:13:52,828 --> 00:13:56,268
Speaker 5: I would also look at the Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts.

321
00:13:56,308 --> 00:13:59,188
Speaker 5: It's the high responds to a week of great speculation

322
00:13:59,228 --> 00:14:02,068
Speaker 5: by his relationship with his number one wide receiver AJ Brown.

323
00:14:02,308 --> 00:14:05,268
Speaker 5: Do they feed Aj early? Does it over do the

324
00:14:05,308 --> 00:14:07,948
Speaker 5: game plan? Is Kellen Moore too focused on that? I'm

325
00:14:07,988 --> 00:14:10,388
Speaker 5: curious to see if Saquan is still the focal point.

326
00:14:10,428 --> 00:14:13,828
Speaker 5: Are they trying to do something different to maybe playkate

327
00:14:13,868 --> 00:14:16,028
Speaker 5: their wide receiver, which is something that many quarterbacks have

328
00:14:16,068 --> 00:14:18,108
Speaker 5: done in the past and not for good reason.

329
00:14:18,228 --> 00:14:18,388
Speaker 11: Yeah.

330
00:14:18,428 --> 00:14:20,628
Speaker 9: I echo the same thing Peter, like, if it isn't broke,

331
00:14:20,668 --> 00:14:22,468
Speaker 9: don't fix it. I know Kellen Moore said he's going

332
00:14:22,508 --> 00:14:23,948
Speaker 9: to try to get the ball to Aj a lot

333
00:14:24,028 --> 00:14:26,308
Speaker 9: more thet Just look at last night. That's what happens

334
00:14:26,308 --> 00:14:28,908
Speaker 9: when you force feed a receiver. Nothing good happens on offense,

335
00:14:28,908 --> 00:14:29,628
Speaker 9: so be careful.

336
00:14:29,828 --> 00:14:32,668
Speaker 10: Yeah, I would just say to there too. For the

337
00:14:33,028 --> 00:14:36,068
Speaker 10: For the Eagles, remember their two receivers. Get the ball

338
00:14:36,108 --> 00:14:38,828
Speaker 10: to your your guy Brown, get into Devonte Smith, but

339
00:14:38,828 --> 00:14:40,908
Speaker 10: don't force it. Jalen Hurts has not had a lot

340
00:14:40,908 --> 00:14:42,828
Speaker 10: of interceptions this year, so keep you going.

341
00:14:43,068 --> 00:14:45,668
Speaker 2: Saquon Barkley going to break the Russian record. I'm into this.

342
00:14:45,828 --> 00:14:47,948
Speaker 2: I think the MVP thing has probably flown. He needs

343
00:14:47,948 --> 00:14:49,708
Speaker 2: one hundred and twenty yards a game over the next

344
00:14:49,748 --> 00:14:52,028
Speaker 2: four game to break Eric Dickerson's record. What is that

345
00:14:52,068 --> 00:14:54,548
Speaker 2: buzzer that lowards we upra.

346
00:14:56,348 --> 00:14:56,388
Speaker 12: Is?

347
00:14:56,948 --> 00:14:57,748
Speaker 3: The person was good?

348
00:14:57,828 --> 00:14:58,068
Speaker 11: All right?

349
00:14:58,228 --> 00:15:01,228
Speaker 2: So here we've all started ignoring the buzzer because it's

350
00:15:01,228 --> 00:15:03,308
Speaker 2: too weak. It's like a little bell at the deli counter.

351
00:15:03,548 --> 00:15:05,508
Speaker 2: So now they're hitting it with the semi truck and you.

352
00:15:05,508 --> 00:15:07,308
Speaker 11: See how I shut up right away? Go ahead, next time?

353
00:15:07,668 --> 00:15:10,068
Speaker 6: Perfect, all right?

354
00:15:10,348 --> 00:15:14,868
Speaker 4: Next up on an AFC matchup with massive playoff and implications.

355
00:15:14,908 --> 00:15:17,588
Speaker 4: It's the Colts since le Bronco's two young quarterbacks both

356
00:15:17,748 --> 00:15:19,508
Speaker 4: fighting for a wild card spot.

357
00:15:19,548 --> 00:15:19,988
Speaker 3: Mansie.

358
00:15:20,068 --> 00:15:22,748
Speaker 9: If I'm the Colts, I'm looking at that Cleveland Brown's tape.

359
00:15:22,748 --> 00:15:24,628
Speaker 9: I'm trying to figure out how do I take advantage

360
00:15:24,668 --> 00:15:26,788
Speaker 9: of this defense, because the Browns at a.

361
00:15:26,668 --> 00:15:27,708
Speaker 11: Really good job of that.

362
00:15:27,748 --> 00:15:29,988
Speaker 9: I look at Alec Pierce really coming alive in a

363
00:15:29,988 --> 00:15:31,988
Speaker 9: deep part of that deep part.

364
00:15:31,868 --> 00:15:34,348
Speaker 6: Of that offense. Yeah, and then here I'm looking at

365
00:15:34,548 --> 00:15:35,188
Speaker 6: Garrett Bowles.

366
00:15:35,228 --> 00:15:38,428
Speaker 10: Garret Bull's just signed an extension to protect bow knicks

367
00:15:38,428 --> 00:15:40,788
Speaker 10: and he's done a great job in October. This man

368
00:15:40,868 --> 00:15:44,668
Speaker 10: has not gotten hit. This dude is protecting bow Knicks

369
00:15:44,668 --> 00:15:46,508
Speaker 10: at a high level. He needs to keep that up

370
00:15:46,508 --> 00:15:47,668
Speaker 10: if they're going to get this victory.

371
00:15:47,868 --> 00:15:50,148
Speaker 2: Does Richardson have it in him? Does Anthony Richardson have

372
00:15:50,188 --> 00:15:52,468
Speaker 2: a run in him? What a bizarre season that could

373
00:15:52,468 --> 00:15:55,268
Speaker 2: have a very very cool ending. If the Colts go

374
00:15:55,388 --> 00:15:58,388
Speaker 2: into Denver where they are back, and the vibe is back,

375
00:15:58,428 --> 00:16:00,388
Speaker 2: and the coach is cool and the quarterback's cool, and

376
00:16:00,428 --> 00:16:02,908
Speaker 2: the Colts win because of their young quarterback, that's a

377
00:16:02,948 --> 00:16:04,268
Speaker 2: massive story. I don't see that.

378
00:16:04,548 --> 00:16:06,308
Speaker 5: Yeah, there's two other games in this time. We know

379
00:16:06,388 --> 00:16:08,708
Speaker 5: it's interesting. It's like you've got the Bills, Lions, and

380
00:16:08,788 --> 00:16:10,588
Speaker 5: you've got Steelers. He goes, I don't know everyone's we want,

381
00:16:10,788 --> 00:16:11,268
Speaker 5: I said, it.

382
00:16:11,188 --> 00:16:11,708
Speaker 2: Earlier this week.

383
00:16:11,708 --> 00:16:13,148
Speaker 5: I think this is the game of the week as

384
00:16:13,188 --> 00:16:16,028
Speaker 5: far as stakes go. It's make or break for both teams. Remember,

385
00:16:16,028 --> 00:16:19,148
Speaker 5: if the Colts win this game, their final three opponents,

386
00:16:20,188 --> 00:16:21,948
Speaker 5: I believe the Titans.

387
00:16:22,988 --> 00:16:25,708
Speaker 2: Never mind, go look it up. That's great, look it up, Google,

388
00:16:25,708 --> 00:16:26,148
Speaker 2: you Google.

389
00:16:26,388 --> 00:16:28,468
Speaker 4: We're now two for two on Kyle starting his take

390
00:16:28,548 --> 00:16:30,508
Speaker 4: in Mad Minute with a question. So I'm wondering what

391
00:16:30,588 --> 00:16:33,988
Speaker 4: he is thinking about with this Bill's Lions matchup. Off far,

392
00:16:34,068 --> 00:16:35,508
Speaker 4: you have to start, but Kyle, come up with your

393
00:16:35,588 --> 00:16:36,388
Speaker 4: question when you're ready.

394
00:16:36,428 --> 00:16:38,748
Speaker 10: Okay, I like this game a lot, and I'm going

395
00:16:38,828 --> 00:16:40,628
Speaker 10: to just go ahead and call it. I see that

396
00:16:40,708 --> 00:16:44,388
Speaker 10: the Lions defense is going to surprise the Buffalo's the

397
00:16:44,388 --> 00:16:46,508
Speaker 10: Buffalo Bills, and I think they're going to attack in

398
00:16:46,508 --> 00:16:48,748
Speaker 10: a big way and they're gonna end up with the victory.

399
00:16:48,788 --> 00:16:50,828
Speaker 10: It's going to be a defensive matchup. The main event

400
00:16:50,948 --> 00:16:52,588
Speaker 10: will be on the defensive side.

401
00:16:53,108 --> 00:16:56,548
Speaker 2: Is this the Super Bowl preview? Is this the meaning

402
00:16:56,588 --> 00:16:59,188
Speaker 2: of life? Is this all I am watching in this

403
00:16:59,268 --> 00:17:01,388
Speaker 2: game is the Bill's defense? What do you got? We

404
00:17:01,468 --> 00:17:03,228
Speaker 2: did not like what we saw the last time we staw?

405
00:17:03,308 --> 00:17:05,148
Speaker 2: Is this a super Bowl defense? Because I know You're

406
00:17:05,148 --> 00:17:06,988
Speaker 2: going against the Super Bowl offense, and I know you

407
00:17:06,988 --> 00:17:09,188
Speaker 2: have the league MVP Bill's defense.

408
00:17:09,228 --> 00:17:09,748
Speaker 11: What do you got?

409
00:17:09,748 --> 00:17:11,628
Speaker 2: Good luck whoever gets buzzed this time, Peter.

410
00:17:11,548 --> 00:17:13,988
Speaker 5: Go last week, I came on Thursday morning and I

411
00:17:14,068 --> 00:17:16,068
Speaker 5: was like, you know, I feel like the momentum might

412
00:17:16,068 --> 00:17:19,548
Speaker 5: be shifting towards the Packers here after that Thanksgiving Day

413
00:17:19,628 --> 00:17:22,028
Speaker 5: debacle at the end that they just bear know that

414
00:17:22,028 --> 00:17:24,268
Speaker 5: that that Lions team answered the bell. I don't think

415
00:17:24,268 --> 00:17:26,908
Speaker 5: the Lions have anything to worry about. Keep on rolling,

416
00:17:26,988 --> 00:17:28,908
Speaker 5: keep on doing what you do, keep on being consistent,

417
00:17:29,028 --> 00:17:30,428
Speaker 5: Do not take the foot off the pedal.

418
00:17:30,468 --> 00:17:30,868
Speaker 6: Detroit.

419
00:17:30,988 --> 00:17:33,588
Speaker 9: Yeah, if you're if you're the Bills, you're going against

420
00:17:33,588 --> 00:17:35,788
Speaker 9: the number one scoring offense in the NFL. So look

421
00:17:35,828 --> 00:17:36,748
Speaker 9: forward to that defense.

422
00:17:40,188 --> 00:17:44,068
Speaker 2: Got thank god? I like this segment's back. Here we go.

423
00:17:44,588 --> 00:17:45,308
Speaker 3: We're going to life.

424
00:17:45,308 --> 00:17:47,548
Speaker 4: The Buccaneers, speaking of coming to life, are coming to

425
00:17:47,708 --> 00:17:50,748
Speaker 4: LA to take on the Chargers. Both teams currently have

426
00:17:50,908 --> 00:17:52,828
Speaker 4: a seat in their playoff picture.

427
00:17:53,108 --> 00:17:55,388
Speaker 3: But Kyle, how does one hold on to it?

428
00:17:55,788 --> 00:17:57,508
Speaker 2: Is this sneaky? The best game of the week. I

429
00:17:57,588 --> 00:18:01,148
Speaker 2: love this game. This is an Bucks at Chargers. It's

430
00:18:01,188 --> 00:18:04,148
Speaker 2: the Fugazi Bowl. Who's a real contender who actually has

431
00:18:04,188 --> 00:18:06,068
Speaker 2: some been going on. Tampa has all the momentum. We

432
00:18:06,108 --> 00:18:08,268
Speaker 2: all love Baker. I don't know the Chargers. Is there

433
00:18:08,308 --> 00:18:10,468
Speaker 2: is there a post Chiefs hangovers this team? For real?

434
00:18:10,508 --> 00:18:11,868
Speaker 2: Good luck? I'm not getting buzz this time.

435
00:18:11,948 --> 00:18:14,428
Speaker 5: Go Tampa had a huge win against the Raiders last week.

436
00:18:14,468 --> 00:18:16,068
Speaker 5: We didn't talk about it much. They were on the

437
00:18:16,108 --> 00:18:17,708
Speaker 5: ropes in that game and they just that was their

438
00:18:17,748 --> 00:18:19,308
Speaker 5: trap game and they found a way. Now you got

439
00:18:19,308 --> 00:18:22,108
Speaker 5: to travel across the country all the way to the Chargers,

440
00:18:22,228 --> 00:18:23,828
Speaker 5: and I feel pretty good about Tampa's chance.

441
00:18:24,228 --> 00:18:27,708
Speaker 9: Do I like that, Peter, because you know the Chargers

442
00:18:27,788 --> 00:18:28,668
Speaker 9: want to run the ball.

443
00:18:28,708 --> 00:18:29,548
Speaker 11: They want to run the ball.

444
00:18:29,588 --> 00:18:31,868
Speaker 9: However, they don't have JK. Dobbins and they're going against

445
00:18:31,908 --> 00:18:34,908
Speaker 9: Vitave and Levonte David who soon being in the Hall

446
00:18:34,948 --> 00:18:37,388
Speaker 9: of Fame. So if they can't control those two up

447
00:18:37,428 --> 00:18:39,108
Speaker 9: the middle, it's gonna be a long day for the Chargers.

448
00:18:39,268 --> 00:18:42,028
Speaker 10: I want to see Quintin Johnston get back to it.

449
00:18:42,348 --> 00:18:44,468
Speaker 10: He had a solid game coming off of a game

450
00:18:44,468 --> 00:18:46,028
Speaker 10: where he dropped a lot of balls, but this is

451
00:18:46,068 --> 00:18:47,908
Speaker 10: an opportunity. I want to see him string together two

452
00:18:47,988 --> 00:18:50,188
Speaker 10: games where he put together because they need that deep

453
00:18:50,188 --> 00:18:51,468
Speaker 10: there to be valuable.

454
00:18:51,548 --> 00:18:53,268
Speaker 6: All right, back to Klego, hit hit it.

455
00:18:53,748 --> 00:18:56,628
Speaker 2: Ye see how tightly are in our comments?

456
00:18:57,188 --> 00:18:58,748
Speaker 3: I know this time are right.

457
00:18:58,868 --> 00:19:00,548
Speaker 6: I'll try to get you hit. That's what I like

458
00:19:00,548 --> 00:19:00,868
Speaker 6: it is.

459
00:19:01,348 --> 00:19:03,108
Speaker 3: I'm going to win the rushing record. Is this a

460
00:19:03,108 --> 00:19:04,028
Speaker 3: Super Bowl preview?

461
00:19:04,468 --> 00:19:04,828
Speaker 11: Sneaky?

462
00:19:04,868 --> 00:19:06,988
Speaker 3: The best game of the week, Kyle. It was great,

463
00:19:07,108 --> 00:19:07,908
Speaker 3: so far, so good.

464
00:19:08,108 --> 00:19:11,588
Speaker 4: Curious mind serves all that was mad minute on GMFB.

465
00:19:12,068 --> 00:19:14,668
Speaker 4: Our next guest has a resume that would take up

466
00:19:14,668 --> 00:19:17,548
Speaker 4: the remaining time on our show if I dare listed

467
00:19:17,708 --> 00:19:19,948
Speaker 4: every single piece of it. Instead, I'll just call her

494
00:20:29,108 --> 00:20:31,868
Speaker 14: But I have a question for Kyle.

495
00:20:32,868 --> 00:20:35,628
Speaker 2: Kyle, so, so.

496
00:20:35,668 --> 00:20:39,028
Speaker 14: They give me an opportunity to have a walk on song.

497
00:20:39,508 --> 00:20:40,668
Speaker 14: Now I already picked it.

498
00:20:41,028 --> 00:20:42,388
Speaker 3: But if you had to pick.

499
00:20:42,228 --> 00:20:44,508
Speaker 14: A walk on song for me at the Hall of Fame, well,

500
00:20:44,508 --> 00:20:47,268
Speaker 14: anybody can chime in. But I know, Kyle, especially earlier

501
00:20:47,308 --> 00:20:49,548
Speaker 14: in the show, you've already done your music maven stuff.

502
00:20:49,668 --> 00:20:51,428
Speaker 14: If you want to walk on song for me, what

503
00:20:51,468 --> 00:20:51,908
Speaker 14: would it be?

504
00:20:52,828 --> 00:20:55,148
Speaker 2: Well, it'd be something that's like really badass, you know

505
00:20:55,188 --> 00:20:57,668
Speaker 2: what I'm saying, Like you could we could do something

506
00:20:57,828 --> 00:20:59,588
Speaker 2: like that Ay's Tom Soyl and not. You know. I

507
00:20:59,628 --> 00:21:01,188
Speaker 2: think it's like one of these stadium things where they

508
00:21:01,268 --> 00:21:04,628
Speaker 2: do enter Sandman or they do Hell's Bells like you

509
00:21:04,668 --> 00:21:06,948
Speaker 2: know what, Andrew, It's like, you know, Mariano used to

510
00:21:06,988 --> 00:21:08,908
Speaker 2: come out to enter sand Man. This is one of

511
00:21:08,908 --> 00:21:12,588
Speaker 2: those closer songs. I would say, You've been everywhere and

512
00:21:12,628 --> 00:21:14,428
Speaker 2: done every story, so I have a deep cut. You

513
00:21:14,468 --> 00:21:17,268
Speaker 2: can do Metallica wherever I may roam, and it really

514
00:21:17,308 --> 00:21:20,788
Speaker 2: speaks to you being around and covering every story, and

515
00:21:20,828 --> 00:21:22,708
Speaker 2: it will bring the house down, and so will this.

516
00:21:22,868 --> 00:21:23,188
Speaker 11: Andrew.

517
00:21:23,348 --> 00:21:26,188
Speaker 2: I'm taking editorial control here back from you because I

518
00:21:26,188 --> 00:21:28,388
Speaker 2: want to ask to hear about you. And here's the story.

519
00:21:28,468 --> 00:21:30,868
Speaker 2: We've watched all of your credits, We've watched them for decades.

520
00:21:30,908 --> 00:21:32,668
Speaker 2: We know all the work that you've done, Olympics, super Bowl,

521
00:21:32,708 --> 00:21:34,948
Speaker 2: every I want to just give you a moment. What

522
00:21:35,108 --> 00:21:38,068
Speaker 2: is something that you've done that you aren't particularly proud

523
00:21:38,108 --> 00:21:39,828
Speaker 2: of that I think people should hear about because we

524
00:21:39,868 --> 00:21:40,268
Speaker 2: can't wait.

525
00:21:40,988 --> 00:21:43,868
Speaker 14: Well, look, I think that in my career, probably the

526
00:21:43,868 --> 00:21:46,708
Speaker 14: biggest story that I did for HBO Real Sports. That

527
00:21:46,748 --> 00:21:50,188
Speaker 14: had the most impact was on sexual assault in Beakram yoga.

528
00:21:50,228 --> 00:21:53,028
Speaker 14: We heard from domestic violence groups and just saying that

529
00:21:53,068 --> 00:21:57,108
Speaker 14: we're putting this on our alert what you must watch list,

530
00:21:57,348 --> 00:22:01,388
Speaker 14: making things very aware for people in that space. I

531
00:22:01,428 --> 00:22:04,028
Speaker 14: also totally different note I get to say that I

532
00:22:04,428 --> 00:22:06,988
Speaker 14: covered the two greatest Michaels in all of sports, Michael

533
00:22:07,068 --> 00:22:10,868
Speaker 14: Jordan and Michael Phelps. So those we were pretty simple.

534
00:22:10,908 --> 00:22:13,428
Speaker 14: I mean it's been more than thirty Super Bowls. That's

535
00:22:13,508 --> 00:22:17,468
Speaker 14: actually Michael Phelps on the field after the Ravens won.

536
00:22:18,068 --> 00:22:21,828
Speaker 14: I was there, cool, my bodyguard, but he was so

537
00:22:22,108 --> 00:22:24,708
Speaker 14: he was so excited when his beloved Ravens won. So

538
00:22:25,068 --> 00:22:26,828
Speaker 14: you know that, Yeah, that's the shot you can see

539
00:22:26,828 --> 00:22:28,828
Speaker 14: in the revelry of the Super Bowl with all the

540
00:22:28,868 --> 00:22:31,708
Speaker 14: confetti coming down. But you know those, you know, Probably

541
00:22:31,708 --> 00:22:34,428
Speaker 14: the biggest news story I broke was Michael Jordan actually

542
00:22:34,428 --> 00:22:37,148
Speaker 14: coming back to the to the NBA. Then I did

543
00:22:37,148 --> 00:22:39,748
Speaker 14: the first interview with him. So there's been a lot

544
00:22:39,748 --> 00:22:43,028
Speaker 14: of first Barrett Robbins, why he went a wall at

545
00:22:43,028 --> 00:22:46,308
Speaker 14: the Super Bowl, Chris Carter, There's just there's so many.

546
00:22:46,468 --> 00:22:48,748
Speaker 14: I'm just so grateful that I have gotten to tell

547
00:22:49,268 --> 00:22:51,948
Speaker 14: a lot of these a lot of these really impactful stories.

548
00:22:52,948 --> 00:22:54,988
Speaker 5: We love you, we love your work, and obviously you've

549
00:22:54,988 --> 00:22:57,388
Speaker 5: had an incredible impact on everyone on this show, Kyle

550
00:22:57,428 --> 00:22:58,228
Speaker 5: and me especially.

551
00:22:58,268 --> 00:23:00,428
Speaker 2: We've been working with you eight years. You've been coming

552
00:23:00,468 --> 00:23:00,828
Speaker 2: on the show.

553
00:23:00,868 --> 00:23:02,868
Speaker 5: I remember when you came out and did a thee

554
00:23:03,028 --> 00:23:03,828
Speaker 5: Foreman story.

555
00:23:03,868 --> 00:23:06,828
Speaker 2: It. Oh, it's incredible, and this is amazing work. And

556
00:23:06,868 --> 00:23:09,308
Speaker 2: that was years ago. He's already out of the league,

557
00:23:09,348 --> 00:23:09,748
Speaker 2: I think.

558
00:23:09,788 --> 00:23:12,108
Speaker 5: So you think about some of these players in these

559
00:23:12,148 --> 00:23:14,708
Speaker 5: faces that I've walked through the door, and how you've

560
00:23:14,828 --> 00:23:17,388
Speaker 5: been able to impact their lives and tell their stories.

561
00:23:17,788 --> 00:23:19,748
Speaker 5: What's an NFL story that sticks out to you that

562
00:23:19,748 --> 00:23:21,748
Speaker 5: if you're an elevator and someone says.

563
00:23:21,508 --> 00:23:22,828
Speaker 6: To you at the combine, like, give us a.

564
00:23:22,828 --> 00:23:24,868
Speaker 2: Good NFL story, what would you tell him?

565
00:23:25,068 --> 00:23:27,908
Speaker 14: Well, I would say one of the most personally impactful

566
00:23:27,948 --> 00:23:33,268
Speaker 14: stories on me was on Super Bowl Champion Joe Jeravicius,

567
00:23:33,468 --> 00:23:35,628
Speaker 14: who won a Super Bowl with Tampa, was also as

568
00:23:35,668 --> 00:23:38,428
Speaker 14: you know, with Seattle with the Giants, ended his career

569
00:23:38,428 --> 00:23:41,588
Speaker 14: with Cleveland, and he and his wife Megan lost their

570
00:23:41,908 --> 00:23:44,628
Speaker 14: first child, their son, at forty days of age. It

571
00:23:44,748 --> 00:23:46,828
Speaker 14: was the hardest story I've ever done in my life.

572
00:23:46,868 --> 00:23:49,788
Speaker 14: Because I had my son was very very young at

573
00:23:49,788 --> 00:23:53,108
Speaker 14: the time. I actually never appeared on camera because I

574
00:23:53,268 --> 00:23:55,548
Speaker 14: was so kind of broken up by the whole thing.

575
00:23:56,188 --> 00:23:59,268
Speaker 14: But I think what it epitomized for me, guys, is

576
00:23:59,308 --> 00:24:01,628
Speaker 14: the trust that people had in me to tell these

577
00:24:01,708 --> 00:24:03,948
Speaker 14: kinds of stories. Because I always say what I always

578
00:24:03,988 --> 00:24:06,868
Speaker 14: hear why people talk to you, and is it a

579
00:24:06,868 --> 00:24:09,148
Speaker 14: Catharsis thing? Is it something they want to share to

580
00:24:09,188 --> 00:24:12,548
Speaker 14: show how strengthen their life can really help you get

581
00:24:12,548 --> 00:24:16,868
Speaker 14: through some of these horrible, very terrible moments. But that

582
00:24:17,068 --> 00:24:19,388
Speaker 14: story just has always been really special to me, and

583
00:24:19,428 --> 00:24:22,948
Speaker 14: they've never spoken to anybody else about it. And there's

584
00:24:22,988 --> 00:24:26,828
Speaker 14: a responsibility that comes with telling these stories. And I

585
00:24:26,948 --> 00:24:30,348
Speaker 14: know that Barn Mantey know about this, but it's a

586
00:24:30,388 --> 00:24:33,988
Speaker 14: responsibility I took really seriously and I just always try

587
00:24:34,028 --> 00:24:36,588
Speaker 14: to do my best and to do right by players

588
00:24:36,588 --> 00:24:39,028
Speaker 14: and coaches when I told their stories.

589
00:24:38,948 --> 00:24:41,708
Speaker 10: And Andrew, you did more than just did your best.

590
00:24:41,748 --> 00:24:44,828
Speaker 10: I mean, you were absolutely great as storytelling. And that's

591
00:24:44,828 --> 00:24:46,828
Speaker 10: why I think your walk One song should be I

592
00:24:46,868 --> 00:24:49,708
Speaker 10: Am I'm every Woman by sha Ka Khan in Whitney, Houston.

593
00:24:49,748 --> 00:24:52,228
Speaker 6: That should be your walk. That's exactly what you've been.

594
00:24:53,188 --> 00:24:55,068
Speaker 10: I just want also to give you just you your

595
00:24:55,388 --> 00:24:57,348
Speaker 10: flowers too, because every time I've ever reached out to

596
00:24:57,388 --> 00:25:00,748
Speaker 10: you for journalism help or mentorship, You've always picked up.

597
00:25:00,788 --> 00:25:02,948
Speaker 10: You've always took your time to sit and talk to me.

598
00:25:02,988 --> 00:25:06,188
Speaker 10: So I appreciate you. But when you think though about

599
00:25:06,228 --> 00:25:10,148
Speaker 10: sports journalism landscape right now, how is the coverage and

600
00:25:10,428 --> 00:25:12,628
Speaker 10: storytelling change throughout your career?

601
00:25:12,908 --> 00:25:14,668
Speaker 6: You've seen it all, yeah, I have.

602
00:25:15,228 --> 00:25:15,308
Speaker 11: So.

603
00:25:15,988 --> 00:25:17,468
Speaker 14: One of the things that I was able to do,

604
00:25:17,588 --> 00:25:21,788
Speaker 14: especially in my years at ESPN in another century back then,

605
00:25:22,228 --> 00:25:24,788
Speaker 14: it was you know, you would I would be out

606
00:25:24,828 --> 00:25:27,148
Speaker 14: there obviously every week, and I would talk to talk

607
00:25:27,188 --> 00:25:30,308
Speaker 14: to players all the time and hear from them what

608
00:25:30,468 --> 00:25:33,668
Speaker 14: was going on, what was what was really on their minds.

609
00:25:33,868 --> 00:25:36,948
Speaker 14: That's actually how I found out and did the story

610
00:25:37,028 --> 00:25:37,748
Speaker 14: on well.

611
00:25:37,508 --> 00:25:38,468
Speaker 2: Here's Dean Sanders.

612
00:25:38,508 --> 00:25:40,748
Speaker 14: That's my actually first ever live shot by the way,

613
00:25:41,028 --> 00:25:43,748
Speaker 14: when I asked Dion about oh, I guess you're wearing

614
00:25:43,788 --> 00:25:46,428
Speaker 14: your signing bonus now, But anyway, so I would talk

615
00:25:46,468 --> 00:25:48,908
Speaker 14: to players, That's how I found out. For example, there

616
00:25:48,948 --> 00:25:51,948
Speaker 14: you go about the use of tor dol and players

617
00:25:51,988 --> 00:25:54,628
Speaker 14: would tell me if they would line up to get

618
00:25:54,748 --> 00:25:57,468
Speaker 14: shots in their butt for tour doll. So I ended

619
00:25:57,548 --> 00:26:00,788
Speaker 14: up doing that story for HBO. Five months later, the

620
00:26:00,868 --> 00:26:04,268
Speaker 14: NFL changes their policy on that. So let me ask

621
00:26:04,268 --> 00:26:08,828
Speaker 14: you guys a question, particularly Straker, because you had trivia earlier. Okay,

622
00:26:09,068 --> 00:26:12,228
Speaker 14: do you remember the Wizinator?

623
00:26:12,788 --> 00:26:16,108
Speaker 2: Yes, Ontario Smith in the airport. Go on, tell the folks.

624
00:26:16,828 --> 00:26:19,668
Speaker 14: Okay, all right, So now I'm gonna get myself in trouble.

625
00:26:19,668 --> 00:26:22,308
Speaker 14: But I would want it no other way. I'm sorry,

626
00:26:22,588 --> 00:26:24,948
Speaker 14: feel afraid to feel afraid to have my zoom ling

627
00:26:25,388 --> 00:26:30,028
Speaker 14: get lost. Never But this is an example of a

628
00:26:30,068 --> 00:26:32,508
Speaker 14: story that could not be done today, I believe, because

629
00:26:32,508 --> 00:26:35,628
Speaker 14: you wouldn't get players to be this honest. So, in

630
00:26:35,708 --> 00:26:38,708
Speaker 14: light of the whole how do you beat drug tests?

631
00:26:39,028 --> 00:26:43,508
Speaker 14: I found a player, Sean Knight, not the quarterback. It

632
00:26:43,548 --> 00:26:46,428
Speaker 14: was a linebacker for the Panthers and the Colts, and

633
00:26:46,988 --> 00:26:51,708
Speaker 14: he had failed a drug test because he was pregnant.

634
00:26:52,508 --> 00:26:57,228
Speaker 14: You heard me correctly. He used his girlfriend's urine, did

635
00:26:57,308 --> 00:26:58,868
Speaker 14: not know she was pregnant.

636
00:26:59,428 --> 00:27:00,588
Speaker 2: That's how they found out.

637
00:27:01,308 --> 00:27:06,348
Speaker 14: So this this, obviously, this became a story about how

638
00:27:06,388 --> 00:27:09,668
Speaker 14: you beat drug tests, and you don't do those kinds

639
00:27:09,668 --> 00:27:14,668
Speaker 14: of stories today. Nobody really wants them, nobody is really

640
00:27:14,668 --> 00:27:17,388
Speaker 14: going to run them. And I just think that they're enlightening,

641
00:27:17,548 --> 00:27:22,148
Speaker 14: They're different, they are informative, and I miss doing stories

642
00:27:22,228 --> 00:27:26,308
Speaker 14: like that. But it's excuse me with Sean King, Sean King,

643
00:27:26,428 --> 00:27:28,588
Speaker 14: Shaan King, let me get the name right. Sorry, Sean King.

644
00:27:29,028 --> 00:27:33,228
Speaker 14: But yeah, that was stories like that. You just don't

645
00:27:33,228 --> 00:27:35,308
Speaker 14: get them. You just don't get them done today. And then,

646
00:27:35,348 --> 00:27:38,228
Speaker 14: of course, of course I'm biased because with the loss

647
00:27:38,268 --> 00:27:40,388
Speaker 14: of Real Sports, with the cancelation of the longest running

648
00:27:40,388 --> 00:27:43,588
Speaker 14: show on HBO, you really miss out on a lot

649
00:27:43,588 --> 00:27:45,468
Speaker 14: of strong sports journalism.

650
00:27:45,348 --> 00:27:47,988
Speaker 7: Really missed Real Sports there, and Andrea, you've talked about it.

651
00:27:48,028 --> 00:27:50,148
Speaker 7: Just your stories have run the gamut. One of the

652
00:27:50,188 --> 00:27:52,548
Speaker 7: stories that you have done, and the person you have

653
00:27:52,628 --> 00:27:56,188
Speaker 7: covered for almost their entire career is Bill Belichick. I've

654
00:27:56,268 --> 00:27:58,588
Speaker 7: understand you've done some investigation on this topic.

655
00:27:58,988 --> 00:27:59,948
Speaker 2: We've talked about it.

656
00:28:00,028 --> 00:28:02,028
Speaker 7: Everyone is the fact that he is now the head

657
00:28:02,068 --> 00:28:05,268
Speaker 7: coach at the University of North Carolina. I know, what

658
00:28:05,308 --> 00:28:06,748
Speaker 7: do you make of this transition?

659
00:28:07,148 --> 00:28:09,468
Speaker 14: Yeah, well, I can't help myself. I have to try

660
00:28:09,468 --> 00:28:11,588
Speaker 14: to talk to somebody about it. I can't just get

661
00:28:11,628 --> 00:28:14,108
Speaker 14: my own opinion. So I reached out to Jim Mora,

662
00:28:14,268 --> 00:28:17,908
Speaker 14: who was obviously the head coach in Atlanta and in

663
00:28:17,988 --> 00:28:20,268
Speaker 14: Seattle and has been at both UCLA and is now

664
00:28:20,268 --> 00:28:22,588
Speaker 14: at Yukon, and I wanted to get his idea on

665
00:28:22,708 --> 00:28:25,148
Speaker 14: what the transition was going to be like after Bill

666
00:28:25,188 --> 00:28:28,068
Speaker 14: has coached forty nine years in the NFL and is

667
00:28:28,148 --> 00:28:31,148
Speaker 14: now going to college. First of all, Mora told me

668
00:28:31,188 --> 00:28:33,068
Speaker 14: that he thinks that Belichick is going to do a

669
00:28:33,108 --> 00:28:36,588
Speaker 14: great job. And he said that he will see quickly

670
00:28:36,868 --> 00:28:40,068
Speaker 14: how much the players don't know the intricacies of football,

671
00:28:40,108 --> 00:28:42,988
Speaker 14: situational football, all things that are right up Bill zally.

672
00:28:43,028 --> 00:28:45,428
Speaker 14: But he said the biggest thing for him is that,

673
00:28:45,668 --> 00:28:49,028
Speaker 14: as he said, the credo in college is you got

674
00:28:49,028 --> 00:28:49,948
Speaker 14: to coach.

675
00:28:49,748 --> 00:28:51,548
Speaker 3: Him hard and love them hard.

676
00:28:51,868 --> 00:28:54,828
Speaker 14: And this idea of building relationships with his players, I'm like.

677
00:28:54,828 --> 00:28:56,508
Speaker 3: Whoa, whoa, whoa, wha, Wait, that's not.

678
00:28:56,588 --> 00:29:00,268
Speaker 14: Who Bill Belichick was at the Patriots. And he said

679
00:29:00,348 --> 00:29:03,508
Speaker 14: he's going to learn that you have to be able

680
00:29:03,548 --> 00:29:08,108
Speaker 14: to build these relationships in college. The fatherly aspects are

681
00:29:08,148 --> 00:29:10,388
Speaker 14: going to have to come out of him. And more

682
00:29:10,588 --> 00:29:12,748
Speaker 14: could not have been more strong about how he thinks

683
00:29:12,748 --> 00:29:15,388
Speaker 14: that Bill will do this, but that it is it

684
00:29:15,468 --> 00:29:19,228
Speaker 14: is Germane to his success in college that you you

685
00:29:19,348 --> 00:29:22,788
Speaker 14: have to it's you're giving them advice, You're creating opportunities

686
00:29:22,828 --> 00:29:25,508
Speaker 14: for them for life on and off the field. And

687
00:29:25,548 --> 00:29:28,668
Speaker 14: he said this was this was so huge. He said,

688
00:29:28,788 --> 00:29:31,548
Speaker 14: Bill is going to have to build these relationships with

689
00:29:31,628 --> 00:29:35,108
Speaker 14: his players and he's got to get close to them.

690
00:29:35,388 --> 00:29:37,868
Speaker 14: So that's how you make an impact. So I found

691
00:29:37,868 --> 00:29:40,268
Speaker 14: that really interesting that Jimoris said that to me, and

692
00:29:40,308 --> 00:29:42,148
Speaker 14: obviously something that we're going to have to watch to

693
00:29:42,188 --> 00:29:44,348
Speaker 14: see if Bill's going to be able to change his colors.

694
00:29:44,388 --> 00:29:46,948
Speaker 3: I think in that respect, Andrea, you're a machine.

695
00:29:47,148 --> 00:29:50,068
Speaker 4: You cannot be stopped when it comes to reporting about football,

696
00:29:50,068 --> 00:29:51,308
Speaker 4: and I would say the same to you.

697
00:29:51,588 --> 00:29:53,988
Speaker 3: We will see quickly how little we know about what.

698
00:29:53,908 --> 00:29:56,388
Speaker 4: It's like to have the passion you do for covering football.

699
00:29:56,428 --> 00:29:59,068
Speaker 3: You are a legend. Andrew Kramer. We love you. We'll

700
00:29:59,068 --> 00:29:59,308
Speaker 3: see you.

701
00:29:59,348 --> 00:30:16,668
Speaker 15: At this point, ladies and gentlemen, hell has frozen over.

702
00:30:17,028 --> 00:30:17,788
Speaker 11: Yes it is.

703
00:30:17,988 --> 00:30:20,468
Speaker 2: This man is on Good Morning Football. He is back

704
00:30:20,468 --> 00:30:23,348
Speaker 2: in wrestling. One of the most interesting Americans to ever live.

705
00:30:23,628 --> 00:30:25,708
Speaker 2: Jesse Ventura, welcome.

706
00:30:25,348 --> 00:30:28,588
Speaker 11: To the show. Thanks guys. I got to admit to

707
00:30:28,668 --> 00:30:31,308
Speaker 11: you I'm kind of a fan of this show. Really.

708
00:30:31,388 --> 00:30:33,308
Speaker 11: Oh yeah, I tune you in at least once a

709
00:30:33,348 --> 00:30:36,428
Speaker 11: week because I'm a fan of the NFL. But I

710
00:30:37,268 --> 00:30:40,428
Speaker 11: try also to stay away from you predictors. What do

711
00:30:40,428 --> 00:30:42,508
Speaker 11: you mean, Well, because you guys all come out the

712
00:30:42,548 --> 00:30:45,788
Speaker 11: week before and you make these grandiose predictions, then next

713
00:30:45,788 --> 00:30:49,468
Speaker 11: week you won't even talk about how bad you're screwed up. No,

714
00:30:50,668 --> 00:30:55,308
Speaker 11: it's fun to listen, But dealing with football, I truly

715
00:30:55,388 --> 00:30:58,388
Speaker 11: don't like. I don't watch. I don't turn the game

716
00:30:58,428 --> 00:31:01,108
Speaker 11: on til it's kickoff. Really, I do not want to

717
00:31:01,108 --> 00:31:02,828
Speaker 11: hear analysts at all.

718
00:31:02,988 --> 00:31:05,268
Speaker 2: That's what we do for a living every single week.

719
00:31:05,348 --> 00:31:07,868
Speaker 11: Let's do it on the I'm a minority, you know,

720
00:31:08,148 --> 00:31:11,748
Speaker 11: keep that in mind. No, because to me, if you

721
00:31:11,868 --> 00:31:15,628
Speaker 11: watch too much, especially game day, does the game then

722
00:31:15,788 --> 00:31:19,188
Speaker 11: live up to the analyst? I understand, you know, And

723
00:31:19,308 --> 00:31:22,828
Speaker 11: I would rather kick back, watch the watch the game.

724
00:31:23,548 --> 00:31:25,068
Speaker 11: I don't need Guy's dissect.

725
00:31:25,188 --> 00:31:25,828
Speaker 2: Totally get it.

726
00:31:25,868 --> 00:31:26,148
Speaker 6: I get it.

727
00:31:27,028 --> 00:31:29,628
Speaker 2: And that Sunday, but we're excited for Saturday.

728
00:31:29,708 --> 00:31:32,148
Speaker 11: Let's go so talk about Saturday.

729
00:31:32,348 --> 00:31:35,268
Speaker 5: Fanboying out Obviously we grew up sure fans of yours.

730
00:31:35,308 --> 00:31:37,148
Speaker 6: And then the press release comes out.

731
00:31:37,188 --> 00:31:39,868
Speaker 2: I guess a couple of weeks ago that WWE's.

732
00:31:39,348 --> 00:31:42,628
Speaker 5: Iconic Saturday Night's main event is returning Saturday, December fourteenth

733
00:31:42,628 --> 00:31:45,588
Speaker 5: in Long Island and Jesse Ventura is going to be

734
00:31:45,588 --> 00:31:46,908
Speaker 5: on the broadcast for NBC.

735
00:31:47,228 --> 00:31:49,948
Speaker 2: How does this happen? You and the WWE back together again?

736
00:31:50,108 --> 00:31:53,548
Speaker 11: Well, hell is frozen over. I can only say that

737
00:31:54,028 --> 00:31:57,228
Speaker 11: my friend, the late Glen Fry, when the Eagles broke

738
00:31:57,348 --> 00:32:00,148
Speaker 11: up and they got back together with hell freezing over

739
00:32:00,228 --> 00:32:03,308
Speaker 11: for Glenn, the same thing took place with me the

740
00:32:03,468 --> 00:32:08,108
Speaker 11: WWE under new ownership. I like the new ownership a

741
00:32:08,148 --> 00:32:11,708
Speaker 11: great deal. I give credit to my son because my

742
00:32:11,828 --> 00:32:15,348
Speaker 11: son is now my agent, my representative, and everything. He

743
00:32:15,428 --> 00:32:19,548
Speaker 11: put the deal together. He was the liaison. He's always

744
00:32:19,548 --> 00:32:22,508
Speaker 11: been a fan of wrestling, and he felt strong that

745
00:32:22,588 --> 00:32:25,508
Speaker 11: his dad should finish his career back there, and with

746
00:32:25,628 --> 00:32:28,668
Speaker 11: the new ownership that opportunity. I can't go back to

747
00:32:28,708 --> 00:32:31,428
Speaker 11: the United States Navy, you know, I did that for

748
00:32:31,508 --> 00:32:34,868
Speaker 11: six years and they won't let me back into being

749
00:32:34,908 --> 00:32:39,268
Speaker 11: a frogman. No more so. Really, my career now has

750
00:32:39,308 --> 00:32:42,028
Speaker 11: come full circle. That's so cool because I'm going to

751
00:32:42,068 --> 00:32:45,708
Speaker 11: finish it now truly where I belong back in pro wrestling,

752
00:32:46,188 --> 00:32:49,508
Speaker 11: and I never thought i'd see the day because I

753
00:32:49,548 --> 00:32:52,628
Speaker 11: got ran out for trying to unionize one of the reasons,

754
00:32:52,668 --> 00:32:55,628
Speaker 11: and for keeping my own name. You know, I have

755
00:32:55,668 --> 00:33:02,228
Speaker 11: it registered and I wouldn't allow them to exploit it. Yes, yes,

756
00:33:02,308 --> 00:33:05,308
Speaker 11: I have it copyrighted with the government. And so I

757
00:33:05,428 --> 00:33:08,188
Speaker 11: was drummed out because of that, and then Hogan got

758
00:33:08,188 --> 00:33:12,828
Speaker 11: me throwing out a WCW and there's nothing left. Wrestling

759
00:33:12,948 --> 00:33:15,668
Speaker 11: was over then, so I decided to go into a

760
00:33:15,708 --> 00:33:16,908
Speaker 11: dirtier business.

761
00:33:17,188 --> 00:33:23,548
Speaker 2: Politics, politics, well all the stuff you've done, Jesse, the politics, movies,

762
00:33:23,548 --> 00:33:26,668
Speaker 2: and wrestling. I think our personal favorite avenue of your

763
00:33:26,668 --> 00:33:28,868
Speaker 2: career was truly broadcasting, and I met what we said

764
00:33:28,908 --> 00:33:31,588
Speaker 2: in the clip earlier. You and Gorilla Monsoon are my

765
00:33:31,668 --> 00:33:34,508
Speaker 2: favorite broadcasting team ever. We have Matt in Summer, all

766
00:33:34,748 --> 00:33:37,828
Speaker 2: we have buckan Akman, all these great broadcasters. Can you

767
00:33:37,868 --> 00:33:39,348
Speaker 2: take us back to that, because that's some of what

768
00:33:39,388 --> 00:33:40,748
Speaker 2: this weekend is about you and Garrilla.

769
00:33:40,788 --> 00:33:43,828
Speaker 11: Yeah. Well, you know it was interesting because I got

770
00:33:43,868 --> 00:33:47,068
Speaker 11: injured badly the night before I was to wrestle Hulk

771
00:33:47,108 --> 00:33:51,228
Speaker 11: Hogan for the title Pulmonary m blood clots and my lungs,

772
00:33:51,668 --> 00:33:55,068
Speaker 11: my career very well was over, and I faced what

773
00:33:55,268 --> 00:33:58,748
Speaker 11: all performers face. What in the hell do you do now?

774
00:33:59,188 --> 00:34:01,428
Speaker 11: You never think about the day that it could end

775
00:34:01,508 --> 00:34:06,148
Speaker 11: tomorrow due to injury, due to whatever. And so, to

776
00:34:06,188 --> 00:34:09,948
Speaker 11: make the long story short, at the time, Vince called

777
00:34:09,988 --> 00:34:12,388
Speaker 11: me and said, I want to try something that's never

778
00:34:12,428 --> 00:34:14,908
Speaker 11: been done. And at the time we were doing a

779
00:34:14,908 --> 00:34:17,988
Speaker 11: lot of things that had never been done in wrestling.

780
00:34:18,388 --> 00:34:20,428
Speaker 11: He said, I want to put the first villain on

781
00:34:20,468 --> 00:34:24,348
Speaker 11: the mic as a color commentator, someone who sides with

782
00:34:24,468 --> 00:34:27,828
Speaker 11: the roots of evil or whatever. And so I'll never

783
00:34:27,908 --> 00:34:30,668
Speaker 11: forget the first night they matched me up with Gorilla.

784
00:34:30,788 --> 00:34:32,668
Speaker 11: We were kind of the B team because you had

785
00:34:32,748 --> 00:34:36,868
Speaker 11: Vince and Bruno and me and Gorilla. And I'll never forget.

786
00:34:37,468 --> 00:34:40,628
Speaker 11: He gave me my marching orders that night. He said, Jesse,

787
00:34:40,708 --> 00:34:44,348
Speaker 11: here's your mindset. I said, what is it? He said this.

788
00:34:44,548 --> 00:34:48,748
Speaker 11: He said, if you believe it, then it's true. Well,

789
00:34:48,788 --> 00:34:51,988
Speaker 11: in other words, he's given me carte blanche. That's carte blanche.

790
00:34:52,468 --> 00:34:55,508
Speaker 11: So I took it, and I was fortunate to have

791
00:34:55,708 --> 00:35:01,988
Speaker 11: Geno Gorilla monsoon. This guy had timing. He understood me,

792
00:35:02,668 --> 00:35:06,668
Speaker 11: he understood what it would take to be successful and

793
00:35:07,148 --> 00:35:11,348
Speaker 11: we were, and unfortunately, because we were so good, I

794
00:35:11,428 --> 00:35:14,028
Speaker 11: got bumped up to the A team with Vince Yeah,

795
00:35:14,068 --> 00:35:16,788
Speaker 11: you know, and it had to leave Gorilla, which many

796
00:35:16,868 --> 00:35:18,388
Speaker 11: people were not happy with that.

797
00:35:18,668 --> 00:35:19,268
Speaker 6: I wasn't you know.

798
00:35:19,308 --> 00:35:22,148
Speaker 11: It broke up, broke up the team of me and Gorilla,

799
00:35:22,788 --> 00:35:26,588
Speaker 11: And I feel great because he's a great memory of

800
00:35:26,668 --> 00:35:32,308
Speaker 11: a great professional wrestler and to the wrestling business. They

801
00:35:32,308 --> 00:35:35,028
Speaker 11: couldn't have a better spokesman than Gorilla Monsoon.

802
00:35:35,548 --> 00:35:35,708
Speaker 2: Yeah.

803
00:35:35,788 --> 00:35:38,148
Speaker 5: Ever, I love about your love that you're back and

804
00:35:38,148 --> 00:35:40,468
Speaker 5: you're gonna be honoring him of course tomorrow night.

805
00:35:40,348 --> 00:35:42,268
Speaker 2: And it goes back to Long Island. I'm back at

806
00:35:42,268 --> 00:35:44,548
Speaker 2: the Nashville Coliseum. This thing all went down.

807
00:35:45,068 --> 00:35:47,748
Speaker 5: Have you heard many of the wrestlers of contemporary times

808
00:35:47,748 --> 00:35:49,748
Speaker 5: today that maybe I've reached out since the news came out,

809
00:35:49,748 --> 00:35:51,068
Speaker 5: because I think it's pretty cool that they're going to

810
00:35:51,108 --> 00:35:51,468
Speaker 5: have you in there.

811
00:35:51,508 --> 00:35:52,388
Speaker 11: They're scared to death.

812
00:35:52,628 --> 00:35:55,708
Speaker 5: Yeah, you're gonna actually say what I know what you're going?

813
00:35:57,108 --> 00:36:01,108
Speaker 11: Well, they understand that. Well, like I said, they couldn't

814
00:36:01,148 --> 00:36:04,068
Speaker 11: control me thirty five years ago. What makes them think

815
00:36:04,108 --> 00:36:04,388
Speaker 11: they can?

816
00:36:04,388 --> 00:36:05,548
Speaker 6: And now here we go?

817
00:36:05,708 --> 00:36:07,828
Speaker 2: Are they ready for Satay and John? I know? Are

818
00:36:07,828 --> 00:36:09,748
Speaker 2: they ready? For what you're going to bring, I don't know.

819
00:36:10,268 --> 00:36:12,588
Speaker 11: You better get them in here and interview them because,

820
00:36:12,628 --> 00:36:15,588
Speaker 11: like I said, i'll predict this, I could be fired

821
00:36:15,628 --> 00:36:17,148
Speaker 11: by Saturday.

822
00:36:17,428 --> 00:36:19,908
Speaker 2: And like you've thoughts, you've takes, what would you be

823
00:36:19,908 --> 00:36:20,268
Speaker 2: fired for?

824
00:36:20,428 --> 00:36:22,908
Speaker 11: J I don't know. I think what do I ever

825
00:36:22,948 --> 00:36:26,028
Speaker 11: get fired for? Opening my mouth about thing, trying to

826
00:36:26,108 --> 00:36:30,348
Speaker 11: right wrongs, do things of that nature, and I get

827
00:36:30,388 --> 00:36:31,268
Speaker 11: in trouble for it.

828
00:36:31,588 --> 00:36:33,348
Speaker 2: I know you have a lot of opinions and not

829
00:36:33,428 --> 00:36:34,508
Speaker 2: afraid to share them.

830
00:36:34,588 --> 00:36:38,268
Speaker 11: And that's and that's what's the best because I've been handcuffed.

831
00:36:38,788 --> 00:36:42,788
Speaker 11: When you're in the political arena, you got to watch

832
00:36:42,868 --> 00:36:47,908
Speaker 11: what you say because now that's off because it's wrestling.

833
00:36:48,468 --> 00:36:51,308
Speaker 11: I can say anything. I can sit here right now

834
00:36:51,348 --> 00:36:54,348
Speaker 11: and tell you had I had ballid access in all

835
00:36:54,428 --> 00:36:58,468
Speaker 11: fifty states, I would be your president because you got

836
00:36:58,628 --> 00:37:01,588
Speaker 11: He knows it too. He can out talk me. I'm

837
00:37:01,588 --> 00:37:04,908
Speaker 11: in the Hall of fame. He feared that I would

838
00:37:04,988 --> 00:37:07,348
Speaker 11: run because he could never beat me.

839
00:37:07,988 --> 00:37:12,108
Speaker 5: Yeah right, Wait the XFL, though he obviously was evolved

840
00:37:12,108 --> 00:37:14,388
Speaker 5: in announce You've got some history.

841
00:37:14,468 --> 00:37:16,388
Speaker 6: Yeah, history, Like, well.

842
00:37:16,268 --> 00:37:19,348
Speaker 11: The XFL was terrific, and you know it was a

843
00:37:19,388 --> 00:37:23,308
Speaker 11: new league in this wrong time of the year, and

844
00:37:23,908 --> 00:37:25,668
Speaker 11: it was something he wanted to do and he had

845
00:37:25,668 --> 00:37:28,268
Speaker 11: the money to do it. And what I love about

846
00:37:28,268 --> 00:37:31,588
Speaker 11: it is some of a couple things have carried over.

847
00:37:31,668 --> 00:37:35,428
Speaker 11: The greatest thing the XFL gave us was that camera

848
00:37:35,588 --> 00:37:39,348
Speaker 11: that runs up and down the field. That came from us.

849
00:37:39,508 --> 00:37:40,068
Speaker 6: That's true.

850
00:37:40,308 --> 00:37:44,228
Speaker 11: Yeah, damn right, it did. That came from us. Also,

851
00:37:44,348 --> 00:37:47,428
Speaker 11: I wish they'd add another little rule. We had no

852
00:37:47,548 --> 00:37:51,908
Speaker 11: fair catches. You either let the ball bounce or you

853
00:37:51,988 --> 00:37:57,788
Speaker 11: catch it. You're on your own. Well no, none of this.

854
00:37:58,188 --> 00:38:01,708
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, you know we're going a different direction.

855
00:38:01,908 --> 00:38:04,108
Speaker 11: If you're going to do this, get the hell out

856
00:38:04,108 --> 00:38:06,068
Speaker 11: of the way and let the ball bounce.

857
00:38:06,228 --> 00:38:08,908
Speaker 2: It's ironic with Jesse. We ain't got time right now

858
00:38:08,948 --> 00:38:11,108
Speaker 2: and we're running up against the segment. But Jesse, I

859
00:38:11,228 --> 00:38:13,988
Speaker 2: just tell us just a little bit more about what's

860
00:38:14,028 --> 00:38:15,908
Speaker 2: come in the future for you. We never know where

861
00:38:15,748 --> 00:38:18,108
Speaker 2: you're gonna do this event Saturday Night. Can we expect

862
00:38:18,108 --> 00:38:20,348
Speaker 2: the body to be back moving forward?

863
00:38:20,668 --> 00:38:24,468
Speaker 11: You can expect the body to be back for this

864
00:38:25,108 --> 00:38:29,468
Speaker 11: entire season Saturday Night main event. So it's more than

865
00:38:29,508 --> 00:38:30,668
Speaker 11: one awesome.

866
00:38:30,548 --> 00:38:32,668
Speaker 2: And then maybe we'll renegotiating and get a huge raise

867
00:38:32,708 --> 00:38:34,508
Speaker 2: and do it again. You'll be a leader in that regard.

868
00:38:34,788 --> 00:38:38,028
Speaker 11: Yeah, but I don't want money, I want stock options.

869
00:38:38,068 --> 00:38:39,468
Speaker 6: See it's always.

870
00:38:40,748 --> 00:38:42,428
Speaker 2: How close are you with Triple H. I don't know.

871
00:38:42,988 --> 00:38:44,628
Speaker 2: I said you liked him. We can get a lot

872
00:38:44,668 --> 00:38:45,628
Speaker 2: about that.

873
00:38:46,068 --> 00:38:50,028
Speaker 11: Well, you know, I'll say this about Triple H. I

874
00:38:50,148 --> 00:38:53,188
Speaker 11: never dreamed I could be back there, and he brought

875
00:38:53,188 --> 00:38:56,988
Speaker 11: me back. And for him to do that is quite

876
00:38:56,988 --> 00:39:02,068
Speaker 11: an accomplishment on both sides, my son and him working together,

877
00:39:02,668 --> 00:39:07,308
Speaker 11: and it's occurred. Now it's going to happen, and I'm thrilled.

878
00:39:07,308 --> 00:39:10,548
Speaker 2: Not as thrilled as the fans. We're unapologetic fan boys.

879
00:39:12,348 --> 00:39:15,628
Speaker 11: And I'll tell you this. You know, my job there

880
00:39:16,268 --> 00:39:21,268
Speaker 11: is to exploit that talent, not myself. I'm already over.

881
00:39:21,628 --> 00:39:25,108
Speaker 11: I don't need no exploitation. My job is to make

882
00:39:25,148 --> 00:39:27,028
Speaker 11: sure them young kids get exploited.

883
00:39:27,588 --> 00:39:31,028
Speaker 2: That's the Legends Saturday Night's main event, NBC WAT just

884
00:39:31,108 --> 00:39:33,588
Speaker 2: in the body ventn Oh, it's.

885
00:39:33,508 --> 00:39:36,988
Speaker 11: Beautiful, Thank you so much, thank you. God's
