Speaker 4: enjoyed GMFB and all of us just you know, bringing

26
00:01:22,948 --> 00:01:24,948
Speaker 4: to the table the playoffs and continuing on with football

27
00:01:24,948 --> 00:01:28,308
Speaker 4: and our joy. So Melissa family, Hello the Chiefs. This weekend,

28
00:01:28,308 --> 00:01:31,188
Speaker 4: they are hosting the Houston Texans as they look to

29
00:01:31,188 --> 00:01:34,788
Speaker 4: become the first team to ever win three straight Super Bowls.

30
00:01:34,908 --> 00:01:38,708
Speaker 4: Their quarterback Patrick Mahomes talked about the team's focus as

31
00:01:38,748 --> 00:01:39,548
Speaker 4: they return to.

32
00:01:39,508 --> 00:01:40,228
Speaker 3: Play this week.

33
00:01:42,788 --> 00:01:44,548
Speaker 6: I mean, obviously you want to win three in a row,

34
00:01:44,588 --> 00:01:46,748
Speaker 6: but building those memories with the guys and with the

35
00:01:46,748 --> 00:01:49,228
Speaker 6: community every single year is special. And when I look

36
00:01:49,308 --> 00:01:51,188
Speaker 6: back at all the different Super Bowls that we've won,

37
00:01:51,788 --> 00:01:53,788
Speaker 6: I look back at special moments that we've had in

38
00:01:53,908 --> 00:01:56,548
Speaker 6: special games that we've had, and so we'll try to

39
00:01:56,588 --> 00:01:58,308
Speaker 6: do that the same this year. I mean, it's been

40
00:01:58,308 --> 00:02:00,468
Speaker 6: a fun run up to this point, but we want

41
00:02:00,508 --> 00:02:01,948
Speaker 6: to get to that ultimate goal. But we know it's

42
00:02:01,948 --> 00:02:03,388
Speaker 6: going to be challenging, so we have to just really

43
00:02:03,468 --> 00:02:05,108
Speaker 6: focus in on the day and how we can get

44
00:02:05,148 --> 00:02:08,068
Speaker 6: better and try to win the game, and when the

45
00:02:08,108 --> 00:02:09,788
Speaker 6: practice so that we're prepared for the game.

46
00:02:10,748 --> 00:02:14,348
Speaker 4: Kyle, before we tee up this conversation, will you reintroduce

47
00:02:14,388 --> 00:02:17,428
Speaker 4: to the audience what you call the confetti test.

48
00:02:17,468 --> 00:02:19,268
Speaker 3: When we consider super Bowl winning.

49
00:02:19,068 --> 00:02:23,188
Speaker 7: Teams, well, it comes up a lot during the draft too,

50
00:02:23,308 --> 00:02:25,588
Speaker 7: And I actually learned this from Daniel Jeremiah, who works

51
00:02:25,588 --> 00:02:27,748
Speaker 7: with us, is that when you're looking at a player,

52
00:02:27,788 --> 00:02:31,108
Speaker 7: but especially a quarterback, can you truly close your eyes

53
00:02:31,508 --> 00:02:34,228
Speaker 7: and see them standing on the field in the confetti

54
00:02:34,268 --> 00:02:36,748
Speaker 7: shower having just won a Super Bowl. Maybe it's about

55
00:02:36,748 --> 00:02:39,228
Speaker 7: his skills, Maybe it's just about how he presents himself.

56
00:02:39,428 --> 00:02:42,108
Speaker 7: Some guys are really physically talented but can't pass the

57
00:02:42,188 --> 00:02:44,388
Speaker 7: confetti test. They hear a lot about that a lot

58
00:02:44,428 --> 00:02:46,428
Speaker 7: in the draft coming up, but obviously it should be

59
00:02:46,428 --> 00:02:47,508
Speaker 7: renamed the Mahomes Test.

60
00:02:47,588 --> 00:02:49,388
Speaker 5: Can you pass that? He passed it many times.

61
00:02:49,508 --> 00:02:50,188
Speaker 3: That's exactly right.

62
00:02:50,228 --> 00:02:52,668
Speaker 4: We've seen a lot of confetti rain down on Mahomes

63
00:02:52,748 --> 00:02:55,428
Speaker 4: and company. So when the Chiefs have the dream of

64
00:02:55,468 --> 00:02:58,148
Speaker 4: going for a three peat and it begins again this weekend,

65
00:02:58,748 --> 00:03:02,028
Speaker 4: is there any vision, Peter of this being halted this

66
00:03:02,108 --> 00:03:04,188
Speaker 4: weekend at home against the Texans?

67
00:03:05,508 --> 00:03:08,708
Speaker 2: Who, Jamie, it's been twenty four days? Where will be

68
00:03:08,748 --> 00:03:12,508
Speaker 2: twenty four days between snaps for Patrick Mahomes. After that

69
00:03:12,628 --> 00:03:15,628
Speaker 2: Christmas victory, they were able to take off not only

70
00:03:15,708 --> 00:03:19,508
Speaker 2: Week eighteen, but also Week nineteen the wild Card round,

71
00:03:19,548 --> 00:03:22,188
Speaker 2: and it stretches all the way to Saturday, twenty four days.

72
00:03:22,308 --> 00:03:23,868
Speaker 5: And since the game was on Christmas on.

73
00:03:23,828 --> 00:03:27,308
Speaker 2: A Wednesday, they had the Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday

74
00:03:27,348 --> 00:03:28,708
Speaker 2: of that week off.

75
00:03:28,828 --> 00:03:29,548
Speaker 5: Twenty four days.

76
00:03:29,548 --> 00:03:31,428
Speaker 2: The twenty four days that have passed, I've just wroten

77
00:03:31,428 --> 00:03:34,348
Speaker 2: some things down here. Mahomes and Brittany had another child.

78
00:03:34,428 --> 00:03:39,588
Speaker 2: Congratulations to the Mahomes family. Travis Kelcey's brother has launched

79
00:03:39,628 --> 00:03:42,308
Speaker 2: a late night television show and has had multiple.

80
00:03:41,908 --> 00:03:45,028
Speaker 5: Episodes at one AM of a late night show.

81
00:03:45,068 --> 00:03:47,948
Speaker 2: In between these two games that they're gonna play, Netflix

82
00:03:48,228 --> 00:03:52,108
Speaker 2: has had not only football but wrestling, and they've got

83
00:03:52,108 --> 00:03:55,068
Speaker 2: Monday Night Raw, and Deon Sanders is the coach of

84
00:03:55,068 --> 00:03:59,308
Speaker 2: the Cowboys, and Haktua has been canceled and has not

85
00:03:59,428 --> 00:04:02,308
Speaker 2: been seen since. All these things have happened in the

86
00:04:02,348 --> 00:04:06,868
Speaker 2: twenty four days that matt if they were to.

87
00:04:06,788 --> 00:04:11,428
Speaker 5: Lose to the Texans, the Houston Texans, if.

88
00:04:11,388 --> 00:04:13,388
Speaker 2: They were to lose to the Texans, is the way

89
00:04:13,428 --> 00:04:16,948
Speaker 2: that this three peet and this whole thing ends, It

90
00:04:16,988 --> 00:04:21,468
Speaker 2: would be so anti climactic and such a shocker that

91
00:04:21,948 --> 00:04:24,188
Speaker 2: I don't think it's even precedent the last time we

92
00:04:24,228 --> 00:04:27,588
Speaker 2: had a repeat champion, where the Patriots and three and

93
00:04:27,628 --> 00:04:29,708
Speaker 2: o four and the team they lost to was the

94
00:04:29,708 --> 00:04:33,588
Speaker 2: Denver Broncos. That Denver Broncos team was coached by Mike Shanahan,

95
00:04:34,028 --> 00:04:36,788
Speaker 2: and it had Champ Bailey on it, and it had

96
00:04:36,988 --> 00:04:39,708
Speaker 2: a host of other players that were worthy, and.

97
00:04:39,668 --> 00:04:40,868
Speaker 5: It was also in Denver.

98
00:04:40,948 --> 00:04:44,028
Speaker 2: We're watching John Lynch and Champ Bailey in a defensive backfield.

99
00:04:44,028 --> 00:04:47,548
Speaker 5: We're seeing Jake Plummer throw to Rod Smith. Like that

100
00:04:47,588 --> 00:04:49,388
Speaker 5: game was a road game.

101
00:04:49,388 --> 00:04:51,468
Speaker 2: That the Patriots had to pack their bags and go

102
00:04:51,548 --> 00:04:53,508
Speaker 2: into Mile High and they lost.

103
00:04:53,588 --> 00:04:55,988
Speaker 5: It was a shock because it finally was over.

104
00:04:56,708 --> 00:04:59,148
Speaker 2: But the Patriots would get back and they would reload.

105
00:05:00,588 --> 00:05:02,708
Speaker 2: If the Chiefs were to lose to the Texans, I

106
00:05:02,748 --> 00:05:04,268
Speaker 2: don't see it in the same light.

107
00:05:05,388 --> 00:05:07,428
Speaker 5: It's not one of these perennial contenders.

108
00:05:07,548 --> 00:05:10,188
Speaker 2: It's not a team that they've lost to year after

109
00:05:10,268 --> 00:05:12,828
Speaker 2: year after year. It's a team in fact, that they

110
00:05:12,868 --> 00:05:15,028
Speaker 2: have beaten year after year after year.

111
00:05:15,068 --> 00:05:15,748
Speaker 5: In the playoffs.

112
00:05:15,748 --> 00:05:17,468
Speaker 2: Of course, they were down twenty four to nothing and

113
00:05:17,508 --> 00:05:19,668
Speaker 2: came back against those Bill O'Brien teams. And then in

114
00:05:19,708 --> 00:05:22,828
Speaker 2: the next year to start the season in the Kickoff Classic.

115
00:05:23,028 --> 00:05:26,228
Speaker 2: They blew out the Sean Watson in Week one. I

116
00:05:26,348 --> 00:05:27,628
Speaker 2: just don't see these two.

117
00:05:27,468 --> 00:05:29,348
Speaker 5: Teams as like worthy rivals.

118
00:05:29,388 --> 00:05:32,588
Speaker 2: It would take a herculean effort and it would take

119
00:05:32,748 --> 00:05:36,548
Speaker 2: a shocking upset for the Houston Texans to be the

120
00:05:36,628 --> 00:05:39,868
Speaker 2: team that ends this Chief's run.

121
00:05:40,348 --> 00:05:41,508
Speaker 5: I don't see it happening.

122
00:05:41,708 --> 00:05:44,508
Speaker 2: I might be frozen and put on the big screen

123
00:05:44,548 --> 00:05:47,188
Speaker 2: in Houston when they do their touchdowns and they do

124
00:05:47,268 --> 00:05:48,548
Speaker 2: their celebrations after winning a.

125
00:05:48,588 --> 00:05:51,388
Speaker 5: Super Bowl this year. I don't see it ending this way.

126
00:05:52,148 --> 00:05:54,108
Speaker 2: A lot would have to go wrong for the Chiefs,

127
00:05:54,308 --> 00:05:57,428
Speaker 2: and those twenty four days between snaps would be analyzed

128
00:05:57,468 --> 00:06:00,868
Speaker 2: like you have no idea in the rest versus Rust conversation.

129
00:06:00,988 --> 00:06:03,188
Speaker 8: And Peter history is on the chief side like they're

130
00:06:03,228 --> 00:06:05,588
Speaker 8: back to back champions. You pull that game. I know

131
00:06:05,628 --> 00:06:10,028
Speaker 8: you'll appreciate this. I'm not a historian like yourself in football,

132
00:06:10,068 --> 00:06:12,628
Speaker 8: but the one thing I remember coming to the Raiders

133
00:06:12,628 --> 00:06:15,148
Speaker 8: in two thousand and three and mister Al Davis, the

134
00:06:15,188 --> 00:06:17,628
Speaker 8: late Al Davis, owner of the Raiders, he would always

135
00:06:17,628 --> 00:06:19,908
Speaker 8: tell these different stories, and one of the stories about

136
00:06:20,268 --> 00:06:23,988
Speaker 8: the Raiders beating the Oakland Raiders beating the Miami Dolphins

137
00:06:23,988 --> 00:06:26,348
Speaker 8: in that seventy four and what we know as the

138
00:06:26,428 --> 00:06:29,548
Speaker 8: Sea of Hands game, and this was the Miami Dolphins

139
00:06:29,588 --> 00:06:32,068
Speaker 8: coming off of back to back championships and just talking about.

140
00:06:31,908 --> 00:06:34,748
Speaker 5: The greatness of the raid Us and Clarence.

141
00:06:34,468 --> 00:06:37,348
Speaker 8: Davis take getting that one touchdown, guy who was known

142
00:06:37,388 --> 00:06:40,988
Speaker 8: for having brick hands, catching that ball and helping the

143
00:06:41,068 --> 00:06:44,908
Speaker 8: Raiders win this game, and of course that game, the

144
00:06:45,348 --> 00:06:47,428
Speaker 8: Dolphins losing the division round, you just don't see a

145
00:06:47,428 --> 00:06:49,868
Speaker 8: lot of that. But when I talk about history for

146
00:06:50,268 --> 00:06:53,068
Speaker 8: the Kansas City Chiefs, I can't see the Kansas City

147
00:06:53,108 --> 00:06:55,468
Speaker 8: Chiefs losing this game for a couple of reasons. One,

148
00:06:55,708 --> 00:06:59,108
Speaker 8: in the history of the NFL, it has never happened

149
00:06:59,388 --> 00:07:02,508
Speaker 8: where a team goes back to back and then lose

150
00:07:02,588 --> 00:07:04,348
Speaker 8: in the divisional round at home.

151
00:07:04,548 --> 00:07:05,668
Speaker 5: It's never happened.

152
00:07:05,868 --> 00:07:08,308
Speaker 8: I don't think the Texans can can put up against

153
00:07:08,348 --> 00:07:10,668
Speaker 8: the Kansas City Chiefs. They're eight and zero at home,

154
00:07:10,708 --> 00:07:13,228
Speaker 8: and when think about in the Mahome era, they are

155
00:07:13,268 --> 00:07:15,348
Speaker 8: ten and two in the playoffs. I like Kansas City

156
00:07:15,388 --> 00:07:16,628
Speaker 8: Chiefs to do their magical stuff.

157
00:07:16,668 --> 00:07:19,308
Speaker 5: Man, come on, come on, listen.

158
00:07:19,948 --> 00:07:22,308
Speaker 7: There's this thing where we really like the Houston story,

159
00:07:22,308 --> 00:07:24,988
Speaker 7: and there's so many likable players, the coach incredibly likable,

160
00:07:25,068 --> 00:07:27,588
Speaker 7: the GM all that stuff. So it comes across is no,

161
00:07:27,668 --> 00:07:30,988
Speaker 7: everyone's counting us out. I can't help say it enough.

162
00:07:31,028 --> 00:07:34,188
Speaker 7: It's not that everyone's anti Houston. You're just so pro

163
00:07:34,348 --> 00:07:36,868
Speaker 7: Kansas City. Would you have to understand the perspective here

164
00:07:36,908 --> 00:07:38,348
Speaker 7: and Ockbard just hit on a little bit of it.

165
00:07:38,668 --> 00:07:43,348
Speaker 7: Patrick Mahomes is fifteen and three in the playoffs.

166
00:07:43,668 --> 00:07:45,148
Speaker 5: He's fifteen and three.

167
00:07:45,468 --> 00:07:49,588
Speaker 7: It's a ridiculous stat It's any other number is nothing.

168
00:07:49,308 --> 00:07:52,188
Speaker 5: Compared to on the quarterbacks. He's lost. Well, that's the thing.

169
00:07:52,388 --> 00:07:55,868
Speaker 7: So the three losses, two of them were to a

170
00:07:55,908 --> 00:07:57,988
Speaker 7: guy who is now in the fox booth, and then

171
00:07:58,028 --> 00:07:59,668
Speaker 7: one of them is to a guy who's in a

172
00:08:00,428 --> 00:08:03,028
Speaker 7: cowboat right now. He's only lost to Tom Brady and

173
00:08:03,108 --> 00:08:06,108
Speaker 7: Joe Burrow, that's it. And that one loss to Burrow

174
00:08:06,788 --> 00:08:09,228
Speaker 7: needed to go to overtime to beat him and Mahomes.

175
00:08:09,268 --> 00:08:11,308
Speaker 7: Shernoff had a couple of big turnovers in the game

176
00:08:11,348 --> 00:08:14,708
Speaker 7: and they lost. But he doesn't do divisional losses. It's

177
00:08:14,708 --> 00:08:18,988
Speaker 7: never happened. The divisional round is his wild card rounds.

178
00:08:19,308 --> 00:08:21,868
Speaker 7: And this idea, now that he's rested so much like

179
00:08:22,188 --> 00:08:24,148
Speaker 7: I'm not even making light of it. The twenty four

180
00:08:24,228 --> 00:08:26,628
Speaker 7: days during which he had a child. That is a

181
00:08:26,748 --> 00:08:29,548
Speaker 7: massive luxury to bring in a child into your life,

182
00:08:29,668 --> 00:08:32,908
Speaker 7: and all the disruption emotionally and practically during a long

183
00:08:33,188 --> 00:08:35,868
Speaker 7: that is not a week off, that's not even a vacation,

184
00:08:36,068 --> 00:08:39,908
Speaker 7: that's a leave of absence. It's a sojourn at your house.

185
00:08:40,228 --> 00:08:42,348
Speaker 7: And they've had it. It's so long. Because you know

186
00:08:42,388 --> 00:08:45,668
Speaker 7: what's most important. Everyone's saying, twenty four days, twenty four days.

187
00:08:45,908 --> 00:08:47,548
Speaker 7: He's going to need to throw a couple of picks

188
00:08:47,548 --> 00:08:49,308
Speaker 7: in this game for the Texans to beat them, a

189
00:08:49,348 --> 00:08:52,708
Speaker 7: couple of them. He hasn't thrown an interception in sixty

190
00:08:52,788 --> 00:08:56,588
Speaker 7: two days. Look that up. The last time Mahomes, in

191
00:08:56,628 --> 00:08:59,988
Speaker 7: this allegedly weak season of his threw a pick, it

192
00:09:00,108 --> 00:09:03,108
Speaker 7: was back in November. He threw two against Buffalo and

193
00:09:03,148 --> 00:09:06,428
Speaker 7: they lost. But it's been that long. He's dialed in

194
00:09:06,508 --> 00:09:10,468
Speaker 7: on that. So he's going to show up rested, happy,

195
00:09:10,948 --> 00:09:15,108
Speaker 7: probably emotionally proud of his family and ready and rested

196
00:09:15,348 --> 00:09:18,668
Speaker 7: and also on fire. He has not messed up. And

197
00:09:18,788 --> 00:09:19,828
Speaker 7: yes he goes against c. J.

198
00:09:19,948 --> 00:09:20,348
Speaker 5: Stroud.

199
00:09:20,428 --> 00:09:24,228
Speaker 7: Remember he is beaten now in the divisional Andrew luck

200
00:09:24,868 --> 00:09:29,868
Speaker 7: real Deshaun Watson, Baker Mayfield, Josh Allen, Trevor Lawrence, Josh Allen.

201
00:09:29,948 --> 00:09:32,068
Speaker 5: Again, those guys are great players. C J.

202
00:09:32,188 --> 00:09:33,988
Speaker 7: Stroud is a great player. It's not that you're not

203
00:09:34,028 --> 00:09:36,628
Speaker 7: a great team. It's that he doesn't lose in the

204
00:09:36,668 --> 00:09:39,788
Speaker 7: Divisional and he's never been more rested. He's never been

205
00:09:39,788 --> 00:09:42,068
Speaker 7: on a longer streak of not messing up. He's got

206
00:09:42,068 --> 00:09:44,668
Speaker 7: a new baby. Things are going well for Mahomes. I

207
00:09:44,708 --> 00:09:45,828
Speaker 7: think he's gonna be okay.

208
00:09:45,988 --> 00:09:47,868
Speaker 2: I'm going to ask Kyle a question here because we're

209
00:09:47,868 --> 00:09:49,988
Speaker 2: both in New York City and we both have been

210
00:09:50,028 --> 00:09:51,708
Speaker 2: with this show for many years, and we have seen

211
00:09:51,708 --> 00:09:54,748
Speaker 2: the rise of Mahomes. You know Mahomes, You know how

212
00:09:54,788 --> 00:09:57,708
Speaker 2: he operates. You know when they voted him number four

213
00:09:57,948 --> 00:10:00,788
Speaker 2: on the NFL one hundred or three, he went one

214
00:10:01,028 --> 00:10:04,388
Speaker 2: two three on that game against Lamar. I ask you, Kyle,

215
00:10:04,588 --> 00:10:08,428
Speaker 2: do you think Mahomes is watching us an ESPN and

216
00:10:08,468 --> 00:10:11,428
Speaker 2: he's watching us just wax poetic about Lamar Jackson and

217
00:10:11,508 --> 00:10:13,468
Speaker 2: josh Awn and he's keeping mental notes as we talk

218
00:10:13,468 --> 00:10:15,668
Speaker 2: about the two best quarterbacks in football this season.

219
00:10:15,708 --> 00:10:19,428
Speaker 7: It's setting up so perfectly that Lamar and Josh are

220
00:10:19,428 --> 00:10:22,068
Speaker 7: going to have this all time epic duel and it's

221
00:10:22,108 --> 00:10:24,428
Speaker 7: looked at as the game of the century, and Mahomes

222
00:10:24,468 --> 00:10:25,308
Speaker 7: is like in.

223
00:10:25,228 --> 00:10:28,228
Speaker 5: The divisional that's like that small potatoes.

224
00:10:28,428 --> 00:10:30,948
Speaker 7: Whoever wins that game, you can go ahead and call.

225
00:10:30,788 --> 00:10:33,028
Speaker 5: Them the master of the Universe. And then they'll come

226
00:10:33,028 --> 00:10:34,228
Speaker 5: to my house and I'll beat them, and then I'll

227
00:10:34,228 --> 00:10:35,308
Speaker 5: go to the super Bowl and win it.

228
00:10:35,228 --> 00:10:37,628
Speaker 7: It must be hilarious for him in his own secret,

229
00:10:37,628 --> 00:10:40,708
Speaker 7: little private way to watch the planet Earth do backflips

230
00:10:40,748 --> 00:10:42,668
Speaker 7: about a derisen around game against the guy that he

231
00:10:42,708 --> 00:10:44,748
Speaker 7: beats every year in the playoffs and another guy he

232
00:10:44,788 --> 00:10:47,308
Speaker 7: beats every other year in the playoffs. It's all Mahomes, guys.

233
00:10:47,308 --> 00:10:49,188
Speaker 7: We get a reminder every single year. It's going to

234
00:10:49,268 --> 00:10:52,028
Speaker 7: be exciting this weekend. But it's all It's Mahomes's world

235
00:10:52,508 --> 00:10:52,908
Speaker 7: right now.

236
00:10:52,988 --> 00:10:53,668
Speaker 3: I can see it now.

237
00:10:53,668 --> 00:10:57,028
Speaker 4: He's just doing the Newborn Bop and he's tapped the baby,

238
00:10:57,068 --> 00:10:59,628
Speaker 4: and he's watching all these shows talk about him coming

239
00:10:59,628 --> 00:11:01,308
Speaker 4: in this weekend and the fact that he thinks that

240
00:11:01,708 --> 00:11:04,228
Speaker 4: you guys can talk all you want about which MVP.

241
00:11:04,748 --> 00:11:07,068
Speaker 3: This is not me this year. I don't think he cares.

242
00:11:07,428 --> 00:11:09,588
Speaker 4: I think he wants to win MVP's as Super Bowls.

243
00:11:09,588 --> 00:11:11,468
Speaker 4: I don't think he wants to be on honor stages.

244
00:11:11,788 --> 00:11:12,308
Speaker 5: Shout out to.

245
00:11:12,308 --> 00:11:15,628
Speaker 4: Brittany Mahomes for having the third baby and also just

246
00:11:15,628 --> 00:11:17,268
Speaker 4: like being able to do it in the Chiefs off time.

247
00:11:17,308 --> 00:11:18,068
Speaker 3: That's fantastic.

248
00:11:18,348 --> 00:11:20,428
Speaker 4: Mahomes six and zero in his career in the division round.

249
00:11:20,428 --> 00:11:22,588
Speaker 4: He's never turned the ball over in the divisional round. Peter,

250
00:11:22,988 --> 00:11:24,788
Speaker 4: what else makes this team great though?

251
00:11:24,828 --> 00:11:26,108
Speaker 3: Because it's not Mahomes.

252
00:11:26,188 --> 00:11:28,628
Speaker 4: It's not just Mahomes this season, this has actually been

253
00:11:28,628 --> 00:11:30,508
Speaker 4: one of the weirdest seasons for Mahomes.

254
00:11:30,628 --> 00:11:31,188
Speaker 3: Why else?

255
00:11:31,308 --> 00:11:33,068
Speaker 4: Why are the other reasons that the Chiefs are in

256
00:11:33,108 --> 00:11:33,988
Speaker 4: this position that they.

257
00:11:33,908 --> 00:11:37,908
Speaker 2: Are the stepping up of everybody, Like you're talking about

258
00:11:37,948 --> 00:11:42,188
Speaker 2: redemption stories left and right, whether it be Kareem Hunt now.

259
00:11:42,188 --> 00:11:43,668
Speaker 5: Is like one of their feature backs.

260
00:11:43,708 --> 00:11:45,828
Speaker 2: And then you get DeAndre Hopkins who looked like he

261
00:11:45,948 --> 00:11:48,748
Speaker 2: was done in Tennessee, and you go through Juju Smith

262
00:11:48,788 --> 00:11:52,908
Speaker 2: Schuster to me, call hardman, like, this is not this young,

263
00:11:53,148 --> 00:11:56,308
Speaker 2: upstart team that like, there are some guys who are

264
00:11:56,348 --> 00:11:58,948
Speaker 2: looking to get some redemption in a second chapter in

265
00:11:58,988 --> 00:12:01,068
Speaker 2: their careers, and I think Kansas City is the perfect place.

266
00:12:01,908 --> 00:12:03,468
Speaker 5: Peter's been a Chief's loyalist.

267
00:12:03,548 --> 00:12:05,788
Speaker 7: Not a loyalist, but really an enthusiast, believe in a

268
00:12:05,908 --> 00:12:08,108
Speaker 7: visionary from day one, and he was on Mahomes.

269
00:12:08,148 --> 00:12:09,508
Speaker 5: For anyone who was on Holmes years ago, you can

270
00:12:09,508 --> 00:12:11,428
Speaker 5: look it up. The end of the game.

271
00:12:11,748 --> 00:12:13,748
Speaker 7: They the Chiefs lose this game and they don't get

272
00:12:13,788 --> 00:12:16,548
Speaker 7: blown out. It's like it's it's thirty one to twenty

273
00:12:16,548 --> 00:12:18,628
Speaker 7: five and Mahomes throws in the end zone, it's batted

274
00:12:18,628 --> 00:12:21,548
Speaker 7: down and the Texans win, and they're dancing and Arrowhead,

275
00:12:21,748 --> 00:12:24,028
Speaker 7: what are your emotions and what's your level of surprise?

276
00:12:24,148 --> 00:12:27,028
Speaker 5: It would be an unprecedented loss, and I hate to

277
00:12:27,188 --> 00:12:29,228
Speaker 5: set that up. Chiefs fans are watching saying, like, don't

278
00:12:29,228 --> 00:12:31,668
Speaker 5: even put that out. There's fun we can to be

279
00:12:31,788 --> 00:12:32,388
Speaker 5: a two.

280
00:12:32,228 --> 00:12:35,468
Speaker 2: Time defending Super Bowl champion, a double digit favorite, and

281
00:12:35,508 --> 00:12:38,348
Speaker 2: to lose at like I've seen the Steelers lose at

282
00:12:38,348 --> 00:12:41,148
Speaker 2: home to a Jaguars team led by Blake Bortles and

283
00:12:41,268 --> 00:12:42,948
Speaker 2: Jayden Mickens and everyone be.

284
00:12:42,868 --> 00:12:43,548
Speaker 5: Like, that's shocking.

285
00:12:43,748 --> 00:12:47,428
Speaker 2: Steelers hadn't won super like two times super Bowl champions,

286
00:12:47,468 --> 00:12:51,188
Speaker 2: returning after a bye at home, losing to an upstart

287
00:12:51,228 --> 00:12:53,868
Speaker 2: team that's probably another year away would be shocking to me.

288
00:12:54,068 --> 00:12:56,468
Speaker 8: And Peter, you mentioned too, Micole Hartman coming back into

289
00:12:56,508 --> 00:12:58,908
Speaker 8: the fold, starting to practice and you know, getting healthy.

290
00:12:59,588 --> 00:13:03,148
Speaker 8: The Texan fans they're they're barking a lot about Wait, yo,

291
00:13:03,228 --> 00:13:05,628
Speaker 8: what about the pressure that are gonna put We're gonna

292
00:13:05,628 --> 00:13:08,428
Speaker 8: swaddle mahomes like he swaddoles the baby and all this

293
00:13:08,468 --> 00:13:11,588
Speaker 8: other stuff. Well, they get DJ Humphries back. We saw

294
00:13:11,668 --> 00:13:14,148
Speaker 8: him in week eighteen. He's back in the mix. They

295
00:13:14,268 --> 00:13:16,388
Speaker 8: just turned to a different team. And I think there

296
00:13:16,388 --> 00:13:19,148
Speaker 8: are levels to it that fans need to understand. There's

297
00:13:19,228 --> 00:13:21,828
Speaker 8: regular season playing. We've heard people talk about the speed

298
00:13:21,868 --> 00:13:25,068
Speaker 8: and whatever, but certain teams they just have that factor.

299
00:13:25,228 --> 00:13:27,428
Speaker 8: And I think with the coaching with Spags and coach

300
00:13:27,508 --> 00:13:30,908
Speaker 8: Andy Reid, this team. Don't look at what you saw

301
00:13:30,948 --> 00:13:33,068
Speaker 8: in the regular season and some of the ups and

302
00:13:33,108 --> 00:13:35,468
Speaker 8: downs of that offense. This team it goes and it

303
00:13:35,508 --> 00:13:37,148
Speaker 8: goes hard in the playoffs.

304
00:13:37,228 --> 00:13:38,988
Speaker 4: Let's go to the other side of the AFC with

305
00:13:39,068 --> 00:13:42,508
Speaker 4: Mike Girofolo, our NFL Network insider, joining our show today,

306
00:13:42,548 --> 00:13:44,548
Speaker 4: We're looking at the Ravens and the Bills and the

307
00:13:44,548 --> 00:13:47,428
Speaker 4: fact that the Ravens could still be without a missing

308
00:13:47,548 --> 00:13:48,988
Speaker 4: key weapon in their offense.

309
00:13:48,748 --> 00:13:49,668
Speaker 5: This weekend, Jamie.

310
00:13:49,668 --> 00:13:52,068
Speaker 9: They were still without Jay Flowers on the practice field

311
00:13:52,068 --> 00:13:54,068
Speaker 9: on Wednesday, and we had talked about this week as

312
00:13:54,108 --> 00:13:57,588
Speaker 9: the potential for Flowers return after missing the last game.

313
00:13:57,948 --> 00:13:59,028
Speaker 5: He's got to get on the field.

314
00:13:59,028 --> 00:14:01,588
Speaker 9: He's got to start doing work and progressing here if

315
00:14:01,588 --> 00:14:03,188
Speaker 9: he's going to have a shot to appear in this

316
00:14:03,268 --> 00:14:03,908
Speaker 9: game on Sunday.

317
00:14:03,908 --> 00:14:05,788
Speaker 5: I'm not close the door yet. People I talk to

318
00:14:05,828 --> 00:14:07,028
Speaker 5: are not closing the door yet.

319
00:14:07,428 --> 00:14:09,908
Speaker 9: We've got to see what his practice participation winds up

320
00:14:09,908 --> 00:14:12,308
Speaker 9: being the rest of the week and how he responds.

321
00:14:12,428 --> 00:14:15,228
Speaker 9: So in the meantime, the Ravens went out and claimed

322
00:14:15,228 --> 00:14:19,628
Speaker 9: the wide receiver, a familiar face, Deontay Johnson. Hold on timeout,

323
00:14:20,068 --> 00:14:21,708
Speaker 9: Deontay Johnson is not going to be able to play

324
00:14:21,708 --> 00:14:22,268
Speaker 9: for the Ravens.

325
00:14:22,268 --> 00:14:23,668
Speaker 5: You see how it works during the playoffs.

326
00:14:23,708 --> 00:14:26,468
Speaker 9: If you claim a player, he doesn't get awarded to

327
00:14:26,508 --> 00:14:29,028
Speaker 9: you until after the Super Bowl. So why did the

328
00:14:29,068 --> 00:14:31,268
Speaker 9: Ravens do it? Well, it puts him in the compensatory

329
00:14:31,308 --> 00:14:34,108
Speaker 9: pick formula. They could potentially get a pick for him

330
00:14:34,108 --> 00:14:36,348
Speaker 9: if he signs a good enough deal during free agency

331
00:14:36,908 --> 00:14:39,308
Speaker 9: and if there's another team that's going to play the

332
00:14:39,388 --> 00:14:41,508
Speaker 9: Ravens coming up that all of a sudden needs a

333
00:14:41,508 --> 00:14:44,668
Speaker 9: wide receiver in a pinch, that's one less experienced wide

334
00:14:44,708 --> 00:14:48,068
Speaker 9: receiver that would be available. So the Ravens putting the

335
00:14:48,108 --> 00:14:50,468
Speaker 9: claim in for Johnson, though he will never set foot

336
00:14:50,468 --> 00:14:53,148
Speaker 9: in their facility again or play for them one more time.

337
00:14:53,388 --> 00:14:55,668
Speaker 9: Elsewhere where, we are keeping track of all the head

338
00:14:55,708 --> 00:14:58,948
Speaker 9: coach interviews, comings and goings. Robert Sala. I remember we

339
00:14:58,988 --> 00:15:00,708
Speaker 9: talked about Sala always going to have to be at

340
00:15:00,708 --> 00:15:03,348
Speaker 9: defensive coordinator this year and not so fast. This is

341
00:15:03,348 --> 00:15:06,548
Speaker 9: his third interview with the Cowboys. They are expected to

342
00:15:06,588 --> 00:15:10,028
Speaker 9: interview him. My understanding is they're trying to finalize the details,

343
00:15:10,068 --> 00:15:12,748
Speaker 9: but it's expected to be over the weekend here. So

344
00:15:12,788 --> 00:15:14,988
Speaker 9: as the Cowboys move on from Mike McCarthy, they look

345
00:15:15,068 --> 00:15:17,188
Speaker 9: at a guy in Sala who was a hot head

346
00:15:17,228 --> 00:15:19,988
Speaker 9: coaching candidate a couple of years ago. And if Aaron

347
00:15:20,028 --> 00:15:23,388
Speaker 9: Rodgers doesn't tear his achilles four plays into a Monday

348
00:15:23,428 --> 00:15:26,628
Speaker 9: night football game against the Buffalo Bills that we were

349
00:15:26,668 --> 00:15:29,148
Speaker 9: all looking forward to, perhaps things play out differently.

350
00:15:29,268 --> 00:15:31,868
Speaker 5: But Salah gets fired earlier this season.

351
00:15:31,868 --> 00:15:36,428
Speaker 9: The Jets become absolutely worse while they are without Robert Sala.

352
00:15:36,548 --> 00:15:38,988
Speaker 9: So a lot of teams looking around saying there's untapped

353
00:15:39,068 --> 00:15:41,908
Speaker 9: potential for Sala, the Cowboys being one of them. And

354
00:15:41,948 --> 00:15:43,548
Speaker 9: I know we're talking about Dion by the way, I

355
00:15:43,588 --> 00:15:45,948
Speaker 9: just don't know that that's in the end going to happen.

356
00:15:45,988 --> 00:15:50,108
Speaker 9: So the Cowboys interviewing an experience candidate in Robertson.

357
00:15:53,628 --> 00:15:56,228
Speaker 5: Welcome back to GMF. We're doing a segment we call

358
00:15:56,268 --> 00:15:57,468
Speaker 5: ween or we out. Here's how it works.

359
00:15:57,508 --> 00:16:00,348
Speaker 2: I say a statement, and then my three co hosts

360
00:16:00,348 --> 00:16:03,148
Speaker 2: what sam me whether they agree or disagree. We've got

361
00:16:03,348 --> 00:16:08,188
Speaker 2: four amazing matchups this weekend. We've had two amazing seasons

362
00:16:08,228 --> 00:16:11,028
Speaker 2: from the quarterbacks, Lamar Jackson and Josh Allen, so good

363
00:16:11,148 --> 00:16:12,948
Speaker 2: that we don't even know who the MVP is yet,

364
00:16:12,948 --> 00:16:15,308
Speaker 2: and usually that's all but known by this point in

365
00:16:15,348 --> 00:16:18,388
Speaker 2: the year. Here's the statement I'm gonna make, and we're

366
00:16:18,388 --> 00:16:21,148
Speaker 2: gonna battle it out. There is more at stake for

367
00:16:21,508 --> 00:16:26,788
Speaker 2: Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson in this round than the

368
00:16:26,828 --> 00:16:31,988
Speaker 2: next one, meaning getting to the championship game is way

369
00:16:32,028 --> 00:16:34,868
Speaker 2: more significant than getting to the super Bowl for both

370
00:16:34,908 --> 00:16:35,828
Speaker 2: of these guys.

371
00:16:35,988 --> 00:16:39,188
Speaker 5: Are we in or we out? Akbar, have your first

372
00:16:39,188 --> 00:16:39,708
Speaker 5: go at it?

373
00:16:40,148 --> 00:16:44,708
Speaker 8: For me, I think I'm out on this the Buffalo Bills.

374
00:16:44,748 --> 00:16:46,708
Speaker 8: They need this one in the in the worst way

375
00:16:47,428 --> 00:16:50,508
Speaker 8: because it looks like history is repeating itself. You look

376
00:16:50,548 --> 00:16:53,228
Speaker 8: at a team that's been to three straight divisional rounds

377
00:16:53,428 --> 00:16:55,828
Speaker 8: at this point, and they've lost all three of those

378
00:16:55,868 --> 00:16:59,708
Speaker 8: divisional rounds twenty twenty one, twenty two, twenty twenty three.

379
00:17:00,628 --> 00:17:02,908
Speaker 8: This is the time for Josh Allen to step up

380
00:17:03,068 --> 00:17:07,308
Speaker 8: throughout the MVP. This next game is everything. You're at home.

381
00:17:07,348 --> 00:17:09,108
Speaker 8: You lost two of those games were at home in

382
00:17:09,148 --> 00:17:11,948
Speaker 8: the divisional round and you're looking in the situation people,

383
00:17:12,068 --> 00:17:14,148
Speaker 8: Oh they're at home. The bubble Bille's the weather. Throw

384
00:17:14,188 --> 00:17:16,308
Speaker 8: all that out the way. You're six and five, including

385
00:17:16,388 --> 00:17:18,668
Speaker 8: right now coming up to this point in the playoffs,

386
00:17:18,788 --> 00:17:21,068
Speaker 8: I want to see Josh Allen really get over the

387
00:17:21,148 --> 00:17:23,588
Speaker 8: top because I think getting that Super Bowl, getting to

388
00:17:23,628 --> 00:17:26,108
Speaker 8: the Super Bowl hed get me to the AFC Championship.

389
00:17:26,188 --> 00:17:28,588
Speaker 8: At this point, give me to the AFC Championship and

390
00:17:28,588 --> 00:17:30,868
Speaker 8: they walk your team into the super Bowl. Then the

391
00:17:30,908 --> 00:17:34,068
Speaker 8: conversation about Josh Allen and his greatness. I think it's

392
00:17:34,108 --> 00:17:37,108
Speaker 8: magnified and it's cemented. Everyone knows the end goal is

393
00:17:37,148 --> 00:17:38,148
Speaker 8: getting to that Super Bowl.

394
00:17:38,428 --> 00:17:39,108
Speaker 5: This has looked at.

395
00:17:39,188 --> 00:17:41,188
Speaker 7: Is this like showdown of the century and the two

396
00:17:41,268 --> 00:17:43,548
Speaker 7: MVP candidates and whoever wins feel is really big? Is

397
00:17:43,588 --> 00:17:46,548
Speaker 7: this bigger to beat Lamar or Josh than it would

398
00:17:46,588 --> 00:17:49,108
Speaker 7: be to beat ostensibly Mahomes in the title game?

399
00:17:49,148 --> 00:17:49,868
Speaker 5: Round the question?

400
00:17:49,948 --> 00:17:52,028
Speaker 7: Yeah, I understand it's because it's in a weird way,

401
00:17:52,068 --> 00:17:53,828
Speaker 7: since it's been built up so much the VP thing,

402
00:17:53,908 --> 00:17:55,988
Speaker 7: this feels like almost more important.

403
00:17:56,628 --> 00:18:02,068
Speaker 5: I'm gonna say no because I think that ciphering the

404
00:18:02,148 --> 00:18:04,788
Speaker 5: question was hard. I no, peterogize.

405
00:18:04,788 --> 00:18:07,548
Speaker 7: I'm going to say no because when Lamar or Josh

406
00:18:07,588 --> 00:18:10,388
Speaker 7: wins a week from now, if they lose in Mahomes,

407
00:18:10,388 --> 00:18:11,388
Speaker 7: I don't think there's gonna be lied.

408
00:18:11,508 --> 00:18:13,068
Speaker 5: Yeah, but they did have that division around win.

409
00:18:13,188 --> 00:18:15,908
Speaker 7: You got to project forward to remember how big that's

410
00:18:15,948 --> 00:18:17,308
Speaker 7: going to be in the title game.

411
00:18:17,748 --> 00:18:21,628
Speaker 5: But my side topic is just this, like whoever wins

412
00:18:21,668 --> 00:18:22,628
Speaker 5: or loses this game.

413
00:18:23,348 --> 00:18:26,828
Speaker 7: I wish we as a show and certainly as an industry,

414
00:18:26,868 --> 00:18:28,708
Speaker 7: like I wish we could just try a little more

415
00:18:28,788 --> 00:18:31,548
Speaker 7: to focus on who wins the game. This matchup is

416
00:18:31,588 --> 00:18:34,188
Speaker 7: an already way so much almost ruined for me because

417
00:18:34,188 --> 00:18:36,508
Speaker 7: I feel like there's going to be so much negativity

418
00:18:36,548 --> 00:18:38,868
Speaker 7: for whoever loses, and it's going to be such an

419
00:18:38,908 --> 00:18:41,988
Speaker 7: attack not on who won, but on who choked and

420
00:18:42,028 --> 00:18:44,868
Speaker 7: who didn't step up to the moment who And I

421
00:18:44,908 --> 00:18:46,588
Speaker 7: know this is corny and it's can't we all just

422
00:18:46,628 --> 00:18:49,428
Speaker 7: get along? But I already am so alienated from the

423
00:18:49,468 --> 00:18:52,148
Speaker 7: discourse of this thing, and everyone's gotten so pissed off

424
00:18:52,348 --> 00:18:53,948
Speaker 7: for the last three months. And if you're not in

425
00:18:53,988 --> 00:18:55,988
Speaker 7: on Lamar, that bleep you, and if you're not in

426
00:18:56,028 --> 00:18:58,188
Speaker 7: a Josh bleep you, then now we're actually going to

427
00:18:58,268 --> 00:19:00,748
Speaker 7: see it play out, and half of that crowd is

428
00:19:00,748 --> 00:19:03,148
Speaker 7: going to be validated and half it's going to be furious.

429
00:19:03,188 --> 00:19:05,988
Speaker 7: I already hate the reaction to this game, and I

430
00:19:06,028 --> 00:19:08,108
Speaker 7: know we're going to do our best, but isn that.

431
00:19:07,908 --> 00:19:08,508
Speaker 5: That's the question?

432
00:19:08,548 --> 00:19:10,788
Speaker 2: The question was, and I'm question but if I'm not

433
00:19:10,868 --> 00:19:12,828
Speaker 2: pressure on them both this round?

434
00:19:12,988 --> 00:19:15,508
Speaker 7: Yeah, I know I've if you lose a championship ask

435
00:19:15,588 --> 00:19:16,068
Speaker 7: the question.

436
00:19:16,188 --> 00:19:17,908
Speaker 5: But if you lose a championship game, is there not

437
00:19:18,228 --> 00:19:21,468
Speaker 5: the same negativity or you think no, it's Josh and Lamar.

438
00:19:21,948 --> 00:19:24,868
Speaker 7: This it's that conversation about MVP, and I hate the

439
00:19:24,868 --> 00:19:27,388
Speaker 7: way that we've taken this and I already hate the

440
00:19:27,428 --> 00:19:28,108
Speaker 7: reaction to it.

441
00:19:28,148 --> 00:19:29,308
Speaker 5: We as a forest and will be.

442
00:19:29,228 --> 00:19:32,028
Speaker 7: Like great job Lamar or great job Josh Allen and

443
00:19:32,028 --> 00:19:34,108
Speaker 7: not spend ten percent of the time doing that and

444
00:19:34,228 --> 00:19:36,428
Speaker 7: ninety percent saying how much the other person sucks. And

445
00:19:36,468 --> 00:19:38,468
Speaker 7: I know there's shows like that exist and they make

446
00:19:38,468 --> 00:19:40,108
Speaker 7: a living and God bless them. I just it jus

447
00:19:40,148 --> 00:19:40,748
Speaker 7: me nuts.

448
00:19:41,308 --> 00:19:43,788
Speaker 4: So I think Kyle, you're out on it technically that

449
00:19:43,828 --> 00:19:46,428
Speaker 4: there's more at stake for Josh Allen. I know, I

450
00:19:46,508 --> 00:19:47,788
Speaker 4: kid to say I'm going to go out on this

451
00:19:47,868 --> 00:19:49,428
Speaker 4: as well. I'm going to go out. I'm out on

452
00:19:49,508 --> 00:19:53,388
Speaker 4: this because whatever happens to whoever emerges from this weekend,

453
00:19:53,428 --> 00:19:55,548
Speaker 4: we will celebrate them. To Kyle's point on this show,

454
00:19:55,908 --> 00:19:58,708
Speaker 4: but your dragon is coming next weekend. We just got

455
00:19:58,748 --> 00:20:01,828
Speaker 4: done talking about how the Texans, and we gave the

456
00:20:01,868 --> 00:20:05,028
Speaker 4: Texans plenty of fodder from a social media pspon and

457
00:20:05,068 --> 00:20:05,828
Speaker 4: if they do it on.

458
00:20:05,788 --> 00:20:09,228
Speaker 3: Saturday, more power to them. We have all of your we.

459
00:20:09,228 --> 00:20:10,908
Speaker 4: Just produce your own hype video for the last fifteen

460
00:20:10,948 --> 00:20:12,268
Speaker 4: minutes in the first hour GMFB.

461
00:20:12,708 --> 00:20:13,388
Speaker 3: I'm out on this.

462
00:20:13,548 --> 00:20:16,828
Speaker 4: I think whoever rises from the ashes this weekend, you

463
00:20:16,908 --> 00:20:20,348
Speaker 4: better save your souls for next weekend because that is where.

464
00:20:20,148 --> 00:20:21,988
Speaker 3: You got to get past this guy that's.

465
00:20:21,788 --> 00:20:24,428
Speaker 4: Standing there with the sword in hand at home again

466
00:20:24,788 --> 00:20:26,388
Speaker 4: to get to New Orleans. So I'm out on this.

467
00:20:26,428 --> 00:20:28,028
Speaker 4: I think more pressure next weekend than this.

468
00:20:28,388 --> 00:20:31,388
Speaker 8: Not to mention too, Lamar Jackson, he's got the MVP

469
00:20:31,508 --> 00:20:33,708
Speaker 8: title already, he's had that before, so he's like, I

470
00:20:33,748 --> 00:20:34,668
Speaker 8: ain't worried about all that.

471
00:20:35,428 --> 00:20:37,388
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I think that's where it's at. It's like,

472
00:20:37,988 --> 00:20:40,348
Speaker 2: there's another MVP and not even making it to the

473
00:20:40,428 --> 00:20:41,348
Speaker 2: championship round.

474
00:20:41,788 --> 00:20:43,628
Speaker 5: But if you at least make it to the championship round,

475
00:20:43,628 --> 00:20:45,028
Speaker 5: I'll make the super Bowl. You're like, all right, but

476
00:20:45,028 --> 00:20:45,628
Speaker 5: i'd be Josh.

477
00:20:45,748 --> 00:20:48,348
Speaker 2: It's a good question, and we'll get into it obviously

478
00:20:48,348 --> 00:20:48,908
Speaker 2: Monday morning.

479
00:20:48,908 --> 00:20:50,468
Speaker 5: But Kyle I hear I said it earlier in the week.

480
00:20:50,588 --> 00:20:53,108
Speaker 2: Why don't we celebrate Josh and Lamar instead of Josh

481
00:20:53,188 --> 00:20:53,908
Speaker 2: versus Lamar.

482
00:20:54,388 --> 00:20:55,628
Speaker 5: We can't have it always look put.

483
00:20:56,388 --> 00:20:58,508
Speaker 2: Next question is about a fan base that has come

484
00:20:58,548 --> 00:21:01,588
Speaker 2: from the wreckage and has enjoyed this amazing moment.

485
00:21:01,348 --> 00:21:04,188
Speaker 5: In the spotlight. And it's not the Detroit Lions.

486
00:21:04,748 --> 00:21:04,988
Speaker 10: Guys.

487
00:21:05,068 --> 00:21:06,948
Speaker 5: We did that all last year. Here's my statements.

488
00:21:07,148 --> 00:21:11,188
Speaker 2: The commanders, not the Lions or the Bills are the

489
00:21:11,188 --> 00:21:14,348
Speaker 2: feel good story of the twenty twenty four playoffs?

490
00:21:14,348 --> 00:21:16,548
Speaker 5: Are we in early out? Akbart, you go first?

491
00:21:16,908 --> 00:21:19,948
Speaker 8: I am, I'm all in on this one. I absolutely

492
00:21:19,988 --> 00:21:23,108
Speaker 8: love the story. The Detroit Lions. They were the feel

493
00:21:23,188 --> 00:21:28,548
Speaker 8: good story last year, remember Eminem everybody, oh yeah, chanting

494
00:21:28,668 --> 00:21:30,708
Speaker 8: Jared Goff, the chance still going on, but that was

495
00:21:30,748 --> 00:21:32,948
Speaker 8: the feel good story last year. We had never seen

496
00:21:32,988 --> 00:21:34,868
Speaker 8: that from the Detroit Lions. And then you go to

497
00:21:34,908 --> 00:21:37,188
Speaker 8: the Bills. I mean, if anything, it gives me a

498
00:21:37,228 --> 00:21:39,708
Speaker 8: little bit of anxiety that they could be repeating what

499
00:21:39,748 --> 00:21:42,628
Speaker 8: they did in the nineties, you know, being able to

500
00:21:42,668 --> 00:21:46,428
Speaker 8: go so far into the seasons and into the playoffs

501
00:21:46,468 --> 00:21:48,748
Speaker 8: and not be able to turn around and produce a

502
00:21:48,788 --> 00:21:52,828
Speaker 8: Super Bowl win. I'm going jayde and Daniels. I'm going

503
00:21:52,868 --> 00:21:56,388
Speaker 8: the ownership group, the new Commanders is what I'm calling them,

504
00:21:56,508 --> 00:21:59,388
Speaker 8: and to be able to get this guy, Jayden Daniels,

505
00:21:59,388 --> 00:22:01,708
Speaker 8: what he was working with. We all talked about not

506
00:22:01,788 --> 00:22:05,828
Speaker 8: having the star player receiver, not having the star running back.

507
00:22:06,148 --> 00:22:07,788
Speaker 8: He just went out there and just ball. So I

508
00:22:07,788 --> 00:22:10,268
Speaker 8: think it's the feel good story, and you know, quietly,

509
00:22:10,308 --> 00:22:12,708
Speaker 8: it's hard not to root for them when you see

510
00:22:12,748 --> 00:22:15,788
Speaker 8: everything that they've gone and the turnaround this organization is

511
00:22:15,828 --> 00:22:17,908
Speaker 8: made to be at this point right now.

512
00:22:19,708 --> 00:22:23,988
Speaker 7: Listen, here's the way this works. You get a very

513
00:22:24,748 --> 00:22:26,068
Speaker 7: very small.

514
00:22:25,828 --> 00:22:27,588
Speaker 5: Shelf life as the field good team.

515
00:22:28,148 --> 00:22:30,188
Speaker 7: The field good team with think wears off really fast

516
00:22:30,268 --> 00:22:33,108
Speaker 7: to get the whole country if their team's out to

517
00:22:33,148 --> 00:22:34,948
Speaker 7: be Like I know my team's out, but I really

518
00:22:35,028 --> 00:22:37,108
Speaker 7: kind of rooting for that team. It's over for Detroit,

519
00:22:37,108 --> 00:22:39,348
Speaker 7: trust me, people don't like it. They've had enough of it.

520
00:22:39,388 --> 00:22:41,948
Speaker 7: They had their run. It's along over for the Bills.

521
00:22:42,148 --> 00:22:44,308
Speaker 7: Especially if the Bills do get to the super Bowl.

522
00:22:44,468 --> 00:22:46,268
Speaker 7: Still half the country's going to be furious, and all

523
00:22:46,268 --> 00:22:48,108
Speaker 7: the lamar Heads will hate them because they beat Baltimore.

524
00:22:48,188 --> 00:22:49,428
Speaker 5: So there's all kinds of stuff there.

525
00:22:49,668 --> 00:22:51,948
Speaker 7: I actually think that, like Denver had a shot of

526
00:22:51,988 --> 00:22:53,828
Speaker 7: being the field good team if they pulled it off,

527
00:22:54,148 --> 00:22:55,868
Speaker 7: watch out what happens this weekend, because then the field

528
00:22:55,868 --> 00:22:58,348
Speaker 7: good team's going to be Houston and Denico Ryance and

529
00:22:58,388 --> 00:22:59,388
Speaker 7: how likable he is.

530
00:23:00,108 --> 00:23:01,708
Speaker 5: They're already lined up for next year.

531
00:23:01,828 --> 00:23:04,588
Speaker 7: Everybody is getting in early about next year's Caroline the

532
00:23:04,668 --> 00:23:07,268
Speaker 7: Panthers being the field good team or the Patriots being

533
00:23:07,308 --> 00:23:10,108
Speaker 7: the field good team. I think the answer is emphatically

534
00:23:10,188 --> 00:23:12,748
Speaker 7: yes right now. That is Commanders over Bills and Lions

535
00:23:12,868 --> 00:23:15,388
Speaker 7: because they are very likable. You have the whole Dan

536
00:23:15,468 --> 00:23:18,148
Speaker 7: Quinn backstory that he's recovered from twenty eight to three.

537
00:23:18,388 --> 00:23:19,348
Speaker 5: And Jayden Daniels.

538
00:23:19,348 --> 00:23:21,028
Speaker 7: I don't know how you don't watch him, just think like,

539
00:23:21,068 --> 00:23:22,548
Speaker 7: this guy's so cool and so likable.

540
00:23:22,748 --> 00:23:23,348
Speaker 5: It is them.

541
00:23:23,628 --> 00:23:25,748
Speaker 7: But if the Commanders win this game and everybody's on

542
00:23:25,788 --> 00:23:27,908
Speaker 7: them by the time next year comes around, people like

543
00:23:27,908 --> 00:23:28,468
Speaker 7: I'm past the.

544
00:23:28,428 --> 00:23:30,308
Speaker 5: Gun as I'm on a sumping I think already.

545
00:23:29,948 --> 00:23:32,388
Speaker 2: Then Commanders are like the hot team for next year's

546
00:23:32,388 --> 00:23:34,508
Speaker 2: Super Bowl in the NFC, Like that's already We're on

547
00:23:34,548 --> 00:23:34,788
Speaker 2: to that.

548
00:23:34,908 --> 00:23:37,108
Speaker 5: Yes, you only get one year, and this is their year.

549
00:23:37,508 --> 00:23:39,148
Speaker 3: I'm jumping so far ahead in my answer.

550
00:23:39,228 --> 00:23:41,228
Speaker 4: But there is one thing that I am obsessed with

551
00:23:41,268 --> 00:23:43,708
Speaker 4: when it comes to the playoffs, and it is media

552
00:23:43,908 --> 00:23:45,308
Speaker 4: Night of the Super Bowl week.

553
00:23:45,508 --> 00:23:46,628
Speaker 3: Okay, so Media Knight.

554
00:23:46,828 --> 00:23:50,428
Speaker 4: Two hundred media members, one hundred and ninety five of

555
00:23:50,468 --> 00:23:53,388
Speaker 4: them most likely have not covered the NFL the so

556
00:23:53,508 --> 00:23:56,388
Speaker 4: far this season, so this is like their first bite

557
00:23:56,428 --> 00:23:58,308
Speaker 4: at the stick of beef jerky when it comes to

558
00:23:58,388 --> 00:24:00,788
Speaker 4: any story of the team that's in the Super Bowl,

559
00:24:00,988 --> 00:24:03,268
Speaker 4: I think it's the Lions. For me, I still think

560
00:24:03,268 --> 00:24:06,548
Speaker 4: it's the Lions and project to media night, I project

561
00:24:06,548 --> 00:24:09,028
Speaker 4: to the lunch tables that these players are sitting at

562
00:24:09,148 --> 00:24:11,268
Speaker 4: throughout the week, and you just kind of sit down

563
00:24:11,308 --> 00:24:12,548
Speaker 4: with the guy and you gotta look at his name

564
00:24:12,548 --> 00:24:13,948
Speaker 4: plate to figure out who are you?

565
00:24:14,148 --> 00:24:15,028
Speaker 3: And then you find out that.

566
00:24:14,988 --> 00:24:17,148
Speaker 4: His chemistry teacher was actually the one that taught him

567
00:24:17,188 --> 00:24:20,148
Speaker 4: the three point stands. I think the Lions are rich

568
00:24:20,348 --> 00:24:24,188
Speaker 4: with feel good stories from top to bottom. So if

569
00:24:24,228 --> 00:24:27,428
Speaker 4: they continue on, I look at media Night, super Bowl

570
00:24:27,508 --> 00:24:30,228
Speaker 4: week and all of the beautiful pieces of journalism that

571
00:24:30,268 --> 00:24:32,268
Speaker 4: are gonna come out of that team. Commanders are great,

572
00:24:32,268 --> 00:24:33,028
Speaker 4: bills are really fun.

573
00:24:33,108 --> 00:24:34,548
Speaker 3: To me, it's still the Lions.

574
00:24:34,868 --> 00:24:36,668
Speaker 2: I will say this, and I'll give credit to a

575
00:24:36,748 --> 00:24:38,788
Speaker 2: collage at the Foxborg guy David Hellman, who said this.

576
00:24:38,828 --> 00:24:41,308
Speaker 2: He's like, didn't we just less than twelve months ago

577
00:24:41,468 --> 00:24:42,308
Speaker 2: do this whole.

578
00:24:42,068 --> 00:24:43,028
Speaker 5: Thing with the Lions?

579
00:24:43,148 --> 00:24:45,948
Speaker 2: And like the fan who had been to sixty two

580
00:24:46,028 --> 00:24:47,428
Speaker 2: seasons of the game and.

581
00:24:47,348 --> 00:24:49,428
Speaker 5: Didn't we do eminem and didn't we do the draft?

582
00:24:49,468 --> 00:24:51,748
Speaker 2: And like, less than a year later, it's already like

583
00:24:51,748 --> 00:24:53,628
Speaker 2: a right, Well, the Lions are already like a made team.

584
00:24:53,748 --> 00:24:57,388
Speaker 2: Let's move on to the next shiny object. I do

585
00:24:57,468 --> 00:25:01,308
Speaker 2: think the Washington commanders, considering the last twenty years, considering

586
00:25:01,348 --> 00:25:05,508
Speaker 2: the ownership change, considering the nickname change, entering the new quarterback,

587
00:25:05,588 --> 00:25:06,388
Speaker 2: considering the new.

588
00:25:06,268 --> 00:25:07,948
Speaker 5: GM, considering the new head coach.

589
00:25:08,308 --> 00:25:10,588
Speaker 2: I think we're already over the Lions being the feel

590
00:25:10,668 --> 00:25:11,788
Speaker 2: good story, and now the Lions are the.

591
00:25:12,388 --> 00:25:15,668
Speaker 7: Lines Glenn Browell like, you're awesome and so likable, but

592
00:25:15,748 --> 00:25:17,308
Speaker 7: like we've seen a lot of you, and then there

593
00:25:17,308 --> 00:25:19,468
Speaker 7: starts to be a brush back to your success. So

594
00:25:19,788 --> 00:25:21,348
Speaker 7: I still like Glenn pot Lake the Lions.

595
00:25:21,348 --> 00:25:21,908
Speaker 5: But who's got I.

596
00:25:21,908 --> 00:25:23,988
Speaker 2: Would say this to Kick and Michael Key, who is

597
00:25:24,028 --> 00:25:24,828
Speaker 2: our next guest.

598
00:25:25,308 --> 00:25:27,588
Speaker 5: America's over the Lions. I guess that's just what we're saying.

599
00:25:27,588 --> 00:25:31,068
Speaker 4: Oh oh no, no, Peter, how about this story? How

600
00:25:31,068 --> 00:25:33,828
Speaker 4: about this comeback story? The production booth would like to

601
00:25:33,868 --> 00:25:37,308
Speaker 4: wonder if this is the correct clarification of the.

602
00:25:37,228 --> 00:25:39,108
Speaker 3: First question of Wei and Rea.

603
00:25:39,388 --> 00:25:41,548
Speaker 4: There's more at stake from Lamar Jackson and Josh Allen

604
00:25:41,548 --> 00:25:43,108
Speaker 4: in this ron of the next Yes, yeah.

605
00:25:43,108 --> 00:25:48,468
Speaker 5: That's all it was. It wasn't then, that's all.

606
00:25:48,588 --> 00:25:50,748
Speaker 2: When when you got a production group that we all

607
00:25:50,788 --> 00:25:52,468
Speaker 2: work together on the same page as the playoffs, and

608
00:25:52,508 --> 00:25:53,428
Speaker 2: we're gonna try to be our best.

609
00:25:53,428 --> 00:25:55,228
Speaker 5: They're gonna best, And that is a good question to

610
00:25:55,268 --> 00:25:57,308
Speaker 5: ask an amper. I like that.

611
00:25:57,388 --> 00:25:58,548
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's for San very nice.

612
00:26:00,508 --> 00:26:01,748
Speaker 5: Welcome back to Good Morning Football.

613
00:26:01,748 --> 00:26:03,588
Speaker 7: We got an old friend, one of the most talented

614
00:26:03,588 --> 00:26:06,428
Speaker 7: people alive and the only person I've ever seen order

615
00:26:06,508 --> 00:26:09,668
Speaker 7: for lunch pig feet, four pounds of grits and a

616
00:26:09,668 --> 00:26:12,348
Speaker 7: little Dixie cup full of lard. He is our old friend,

617
00:26:12,348 --> 00:26:14,308
Speaker 7: and he is working with Jim Beam and he loves

618
00:26:14,348 --> 00:26:22,628
Speaker 7: the Lions kicking Michael Key, you look great.

619
00:26:22,748 --> 00:26:24,348
Speaker 5: It's a huge week for the Lions.

620
00:26:24,828 --> 00:26:27,428
Speaker 7: And we turned to our friend Peter Schrager, who has

621
00:26:27,428 --> 00:26:29,268
Speaker 7: something he wants to address about the Lions.

622
00:26:29,268 --> 00:26:31,148
Speaker 5: Peter, get in here and talk to Keegan. All right,

623
00:26:31,228 --> 00:26:34,028
Speaker 5: last segment, I might have to say like it is.

624
00:26:34,028 --> 00:26:36,428
Speaker 2: I might have upset some Lions fans by saying it

625
00:26:36,468 --> 00:26:38,388
Speaker 2: seems like we're almost over the feel good story about

626
00:26:38,388 --> 00:26:40,268
Speaker 2: the Lions and we've moved on to the commanders. The

627
00:26:40,268 --> 00:26:42,548
Speaker 2: Lions aren't this warm and fuzzy story anymore.

628
00:26:42,828 --> 00:26:51,108
Speaker 5: That was a compliment. I really get your response to me.

629
00:26:51,148 --> 00:26:54,548
Speaker 2: Give me the other most suspect you guys have droppeduated

630
00:26:54,628 --> 00:26:55,828
Speaker 2: from feel good story.

631
00:26:55,908 --> 00:26:58,028
Speaker 7: Everybody hates you now, Keg and Michael Kay, that's what

632
00:26:58,068 --> 00:26:58,468
Speaker 7: he's saying.

633
00:26:59,388 --> 00:27:02,188
Speaker 11: I've never experienced, I've never wanted so much hate in

634
00:27:02,188 --> 00:27:02,628
Speaker 11: my life.

635
00:27:02,668 --> 00:27:03,588
Speaker 10: This is wonderful.

636
00:27:04,028 --> 00:27:07,028
Speaker 11: Norm is that the Lions are good, which means cats

637
00:27:07,068 --> 00:27:09,028
Speaker 11: are living with dogs, all that good stuff.

638
00:27:09,148 --> 00:27:11,908
Speaker 10: So it's this is this is actually you're right. It's

639
00:27:11,908 --> 00:27:12,548
Speaker 10: an honor, Peter.

640
00:27:12,628 --> 00:27:14,788
Speaker 11: It's an honor that someone would say that somebody else

641
00:27:14,828 --> 00:27:15,708
Speaker 11: is the field good story.

642
00:27:15,828 --> 00:27:18,228
Speaker 10: Ah, Lions, who cares? They're great. They're great all the time.

643
00:27:18,348 --> 00:27:19,268
Speaker 10: They're great all the time.

644
00:27:19,708 --> 00:27:22,668
Speaker 7: Yeah, you've worked hard to be the field bad story,

645
00:27:22,708 --> 00:27:23,828
Speaker 7: and I'm happy for you.

646
00:27:23,668 --> 00:27:25,308
Speaker 5: You got commanders this weekend.

647
00:27:25,748 --> 00:27:28,028
Speaker 7: How are you feeling because it's Jane Daniels are coming

648
00:27:28,148 --> 00:27:28,628
Speaker 7: to Detroit.

649
00:27:28,748 --> 00:27:30,828
Speaker 5: Where are you at right now? On Thursday?

650
00:27:31,228 --> 00:27:36,108
Speaker 11: I was more nervous before Dan Campbell's press conference. Remember

651
00:27:36,428 --> 00:27:39,188
Speaker 11: just recently he said he said, you guys have a

652
00:27:39,228 --> 00:27:41,828
Speaker 11: hard time against mobile quarterbacks, And then he's like, who doesn't.

653
00:27:42,228 --> 00:27:44,308
Speaker 10: Who doesn't have a hard time against mobile.

654
00:27:45,548 --> 00:27:47,908
Speaker 11: Which means to me he's not fretting about it. And

655
00:27:47,948 --> 00:27:52,308
Speaker 11: by the way, after Aaron Glenn's performance against the Vikings

656
00:27:52,708 --> 00:27:54,868
Speaker 11: anywhere near as nervous as I was. For if he

657
00:27:54,908 --> 00:27:57,308
Speaker 11: can game plan for that, he can game plan for

658
00:27:57,348 --> 00:28:00,668
Speaker 11: this and my nervous. Of course, we don't typically play

659
00:28:00,668 --> 00:28:03,948
Speaker 11: the Commanders. That's a new thing. But I feel more

660
00:28:04,468 --> 00:28:06,228
Speaker 11: mouth and I did seventy two hours ago.

661
00:28:06,908 --> 00:28:08,068
Speaker 3: Uh Keey and Michael Key.

662
00:28:08,148 --> 00:28:10,308
Speaker 4: I am trying something that you do on for size.

663
00:28:10,308 --> 00:28:12,628
Speaker 4: I'm trying to get a lot of different jobs. Okay,

664
00:28:12,668 --> 00:28:14,628
Speaker 4: So can I take you back on a little journey?

665
00:28:14,668 --> 00:28:16,748
Speaker 4: And then I want to offer you something. Remember in

666
00:28:16,788 --> 00:28:20,548
Speaker 4: early December, there was one of the many famous Dan

667
00:28:20,668 --> 00:28:24,108
Speaker 4: Campbell clips from the locker room when he is postgame

668
00:28:24,308 --> 00:28:26,788
Speaker 4: talking to his team and he looks over and one

669
00:28:26,788 --> 00:28:29,068
Speaker 4: of his linemen, Dan Skipper, is vomiting.

670
00:28:28,708 --> 00:28:30,908
Speaker 3: Into a bucket. He's like, yeah, scoop, you keep doing

671
00:28:30,948 --> 00:28:31,468
Speaker 3: that all right?

672
00:28:32,748 --> 00:28:36,028
Speaker 4: That day I ordered a gag gift for Kyle Brandt

673
00:28:36,028 --> 00:28:38,388
Speaker 4: for the holidays that just arrived at my house recently.

674
00:28:38,628 --> 00:28:41,108
Speaker 4: And now I'm kind of getting into the promotional material

675
00:28:41,628 --> 00:28:44,828
Speaker 4: hats or the world. So may I offer to you

676
00:28:44,908 --> 00:28:46,948
Speaker 4: and would you like to help me make the following

677
00:28:46,988 --> 00:28:50,468
Speaker 4: sweatshirt go viral of an artistic version of Dan Skipper

678
00:28:50,548 --> 00:28:52,308
Speaker 4: vomiting into a bucket, and would you wear that to

679
00:28:52,348 --> 00:28:53,028
Speaker 4: a playoff game?

680
00:28:53,668 --> 00:28:56,068
Speaker 10: I would wear that to a playoff game. I would

681
00:28:56,108 --> 00:28:57,028
Speaker 10: wear that to a playoff game.

682
00:28:57,068 --> 00:29:00,588
Speaker 11: I think it's a good like Lions deep cut. It's

683
00:29:00,588 --> 00:29:04,828
Speaker 11: a kind of make Lions fans the game go yes,

684
00:29:06,028 --> 00:29:08,868
Speaker 11: you know, because it's even because it's it's a deeper cut.

685
00:29:08,908 --> 00:29:11,028
Speaker 11: It's not just I'm and Ross standing on his.

686
00:29:11,028 --> 00:29:12,188
Speaker 5: Head, you know what I mean? Ye?

687
00:29:14,628 --> 00:29:16,868
Speaker 8: All right, So talking about what you would wear to

688
00:29:16,948 --> 00:29:19,108
Speaker 8: a game, we were having a discussion earlier as well

689
00:29:19,788 --> 00:29:23,988
Speaker 8: about fans like yourself using the term we using the term,

690
00:29:24,348 --> 00:29:26,588
Speaker 8: or wearing a jersey with your name on it? Would

691
00:29:26,668 --> 00:29:30,788
Speaker 8: you ever wear a jersey, a Detroit Lions jersey with

692
00:29:30,988 --> 00:29:34,668
Speaker 8: let's say Jared's golf number on it, with your last

693
00:29:34,788 --> 00:29:35,948
Speaker 8: name on the jersey?

694
00:29:36,388 --> 00:29:38,988
Speaker 11: You know what, I can't do that anymore. I used

695
00:29:39,028 --> 00:29:41,388
Speaker 11: to do that, and I can't do that. I even

696
00:29:41,668 --> 00:29:44,908
Speaker 11: I even have a moratorium for myself now. I won't

697
00:29:44,908 --> 00:29:47,268
Speaker 11: even put a number, Like if I put my name

698
00:29:47,308 --> 00:29:49,388
Speaker 11: on the back of a jersey, says key, it has

699
00:29:49,468 --> 00:29:51,828
Speaker 11: to then underneath it the number has to be like

700
00:29:52,508 --> 00:29:58,508
Speaker 11: three to one three. I wouldn't want to be associated

701
00:29:58,588 --> 00:30:01,188
Speaker 11: with these amazing athletes. I cannot do what they do,

702
00:30:01,548 --> 00:30:02,068
Speaker 11: so I don't want to.

703
00:30:03,108 --> 00:30:03,508
Speaker 10: I can do it.

704
00:30:03,988 --> 00:30:07,068
Speaker 11: Three one three is just me as a member of

705
00:30:07,148 --> 00:30:10,588
Speaker 11: the team known as the City of Detroit, right, I've

706
00:30:10,588 --> 00:30:11,708
Speaker 11: given it's a lot of thought.

707
00:30:15,628 --> 00:30:17,028
Speaker 5: It's so good, all right.

708
00:30:17,068 --> 00:30:18,988
Speaker 2: So I'm watching one of these games and I see

709
00:30:19,108 --> 00:30:22,868
Speaker 2: on the field, obviously we've got you, You've got Tim Robinson,

710
00:30:23,268 --> 00:30:25,388
Speaker 2: You've got Sam Richards, and you've got all these guys.

711
00:30:25,668 --> 00:30:27,268
Speaker 5: But I love when I see Chad.

712
00:30:27,108 --> 00:30:29,788
Speaker 2: Smith, the drummer from the Chili Peppers there in the house,

713
00:30:29,948 --> 00:30:33,228
Speaker 2: and I see you guys interacting together so good talk

714
00:30:33,308 --> 00:30:36,148
Speaker 2: about the Lions. I would hate to say the word celebrity.

715
00:30:36,148 --> 00:30:37,468
Speaker 2: I know you guys probably cringe with that, but like

716
00:30:37,788 --> 00:30:40,068
Speaker 2: the Lions super fans who come in from out of

717
00:30:40,148 --> 00:30:43,028
Speaker 2: town and get to these games, who really really do

718
00:30:43,428 --> 00:30:45,268
Speaker 2: live and breathe with the Lions and the union that

719
00:30:45,308 --> 00:30:47,868
Speaker 2: you guys have now together, it's.

720
00:30:47,828 --> 00:30:49,508
Speaker 11: It's really good because I think a lot of us

721
00:30:49,548 --> 00:30:51,748
Speaker 11: are kind of like, you can't ask for a better

722
00:30:51,868 --> 00:30:54,788
Speaker 11: Lions fan than someone like Chad Smith, who's like a

723
00:30:55,028 --> 00:30:56,748
Speaker 11: workman's Lions fan, do.

724
00:30:56,708 --> 00:30:59,628
Speaker 10: You know what I mean? Somebody who's like the phone

725
00:30:59,788 --> 00:31:03,748
Speaker 10: of a band and and like you know what I mean.

726
00:31:03,988 --> 00:31:07,428
Speaker 10: So he's it's got that great blue collar workman field.

727
00:31:07,548 --> 00:31:08,108
Speaker 5: So does Tim.

728
00:31:08,188 --> 00:31:12,388
Speaker 11: Like as comedians go, Tim Robinson is like a grinder.

729
00:31:12,548 --> 00:31:14,348
Speaker 11: And so that's what I think is something that's going

730
00:31:14,388 --> 00:31:17,548
Speaker 11: to have our fan base. The team represents the city

731
00:31:17,828 --> 00:31:20,948
Speaker 11: and the fans, the celebrity fans represent the city.

732
00:31:21,148 --> 00:31:22,228
Speaker 10: That that that culture.

733
00:31:22,588 --> 00:31:24,468
Speaker 8: That's so cool. How you guys rep man you you

734
00:31:24,548 --> 00:31:26,548
Speaker 8: were also repping because I saw your social media you

735
00:31:26,628 --> 00:31:28,428
Speaker 8: were also repping. You were at the w w.

736
00:31:28,548 --> 00:31:32,268
Speaker 5: E's Monday Night Raw last week. I saw you were

737
00:31:32,348 --> 00:31:33,108
Speaker 5: all hyped up.

738
00:31:33,308 --> 00:31:36,388
Speaker 8: What's the difference between Keeg and Michael Key the football

739
00:31:36,508 --> 00:31:39,148
Speaker 8: fan and Keegan Michael Key the wrestling fan.

740
00:31:40,268 --> 00:31:42,748
Speaker 11: Well, I'd say the biggest difference. Here's the biggest difference

741
00:31:43,228 --> 00:31:47,308
Speaker 11: at wrestling. When you yell at the entertainment, they can

742
00:31:47,428 --> 00:31:47,668
Speaker 11: hear you.

743
00:31:48,708 --> 00:31:50,708
Speaker 5: That's the big true.

744
00:31:50,908 --> 00:31:53,348
Speaker 11: I can't because I can scream till I'm blue in

745
00:31:53,428 --> 00:31:59,508
Speaker 11: the face. You got he's over, my wife said, And

746
00:31:59,548 --> 00:32:01,508
Speaker 11: they can't hear you, but they can.

747
00:32:01,548 --> 00:32:03,308
Speaker 10: Hear you in the ring behind you with.

748
00:32:08,628 --> 00:32:08,908
Speaker 9: Listen.

749
00:32:09,148 --> 00:32:10,988
Speaker 10: But at least I feel like they can hear me.

750
00:32:13,268 --> 00:32:17,308
Speaker 2: So good, Uh, we're talking NFL, we're talking wrestling. You're

751
00:32:17,348 --> 00:32:20,028
Speaker 2: a Penn State guy, and it was some ride. It

752
00:32:20,148 --> 00:32:22,308
Speaker 2: was fun and I know it ended shortly, but you

753
00:32:22,428 --> 00:32:25,548
Speaker 2: were catching up with fellow Nitney Lyons Saquon Barkley on

754
00:32:25,628 --> 00:32:26,628
Speaker 2: the field before.

755
00:32:26,428 --> 00:32:27,828
Speaker 5: His game against the Giants.

756
00:32:28,228 --> 00:32:30,868
Speaker 2: I got to ask, as a Penn State alumnus, are

757
00:32:30,908 --> 00:32:33,508
Speaker 2: you are you quietly pulling for Saquon even though you're

758
00:32:33,508 --> 00:32:35,828
Speaker 2: alone and you want to see good Saquon this weekend?

759
00:32:35,868 --> 00:32:37,428
Speaker 2: And I don't even know how to ask who you

760
00:32:37,508 --> 00:32:40,108
Speaker 2: want to see in the NFC Championship Brown, because.

761
00:32:40,028 --> 00:32:41,588
Speaker 5: I would hate for you to have to road against them.

762
00:32:41,788 --> 00:32:44,548
Speaker 10: If it's a Lions, the whole situation would be much better.

763
00:32:44,988 --> 00:32:48,628
Speaker 11: If if Los Angeles be Philadelphia, the whole situation would

764
00:32:48,628 --> 00:32:51,908
Speaker 11: be I always want the best for saque Let's say this.

765
00:32:52,108 --> 00:32:54,828
Speaker 10: I want them be healthy. I want to to stay healthy. Okay,

766
00:32:55,388 --> 00:32:55,908
Speaker 10: I do not.

767
00:32:56,228 --> 00:33:00,948
Speaker 11: I would absolutely rather face the Rams than face the Eats.

768
00:33:03,468 --> 00:33:05,108
Speaker 10: So I want him to stay healthy, but I do

769
00:33:05,268 --> 00:33:07,628
Speaker 10: not want him to win. We know the Rams, that's

770
00:33:07,868 --> 00:33:08,988
Speaker 10: that's a familiar foe.

771
00:33:09,868 --> 00:33:11,988
Speaker 11: It's a it's a different We're dealing with the unknown

772
00:33:12,028 --> 00:33:14,588
Speaker 11: with Philadelphia, and especially with him having the season he's having.

773
00:33:14,908 --> 00:33:17,788
Speaker 10: Oh god, no, I think it would be much more calm.

774
00:33:19,868 --> 00:33:22,948
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, because you don't want to have to deal

775
00:33:23,068 --> 00:33:25,548
Speaker 4: with defeat at least maybe not until next season.

776
00:33:25,628 --> 00:33:28,548
Speaker 3: If you're a Lionce fan, you are teaming up with Jim.

777
00:33:28,388 --> 00:33:31,628
Speaker 4: Beam for these seven Stages of Defeat campaign?

778
00:33:31,908 --> 00:33:32,708
Speaker 3: What's going on with this?

779
00:33:33,628 --> 00:33:36,108
Speaker 10: So here's the thing. So I'm really really having a

780
00:33:36,148 --> 00:33:37,468

00:33:40,668 --> 00:33:44,308
Speaker 11: with this year called the seven seven Stages of Defeat

784
00:33:44,628 --> 00:33:47,788
Speaker 11: care Package. And so what happens is we've assembled this

785
00:33:47,948 --> 00:33:50,788
Speaker 11: care package and what's funny, it's called the seven Stages

786
00:33:50,788 --> 00:33:54,348
Speaker 11: of Defeat because it's inspired by the new Jim Beam

787
00:33:54,428 --> 00:33:58,908
Speaker 11: Black which is aged seven years, really bourbon that that

788
00:33:58,988 --> 00:34:02,548
Speaker 11: they've just introduced. And so in the seven seventh Stages

789
00:34:02,548 --> 00:34:06,068
Speaker 11: of Defeat, what's happening is once your playoff team has

790
00:34:06,228 --> 00:34:10,908
Speaker 11: lost after every championship weekend, so this uh so this

791
00:34:11,188 --> 00:34:15,348
Speaker 11: upcoming Monday, after the uh the divisional round, you have

792
00:34:15,428 --> 00:34:17,548
Speaker 11: a chance to go online and get one of these

793
00:34:17,628 --> 00:34:20,748
Speaker 11: care packages. And in the care package, there's seven different

794
00:34:21,228 --> 00:34:23,748
Speaker 11: items in the package and it's and it's great. So

795
00:34:23,828 --> 00:34:26,708
Speaker 11: then it's first come for serve. So on Monday, after

796
00:34:27,068 --> 00:34:29,788
Speaker 11: the divisional round, you can get the packages once again.

797
00:34:29,828 --> 00:34:32,428
Speaker 11: After the conference, you can get the packages and they're fit.

798
00:34:32,508 --> 00:34:36,028
Speaker 11: And it's all about people celebrating with each other because

799
00:34:36,068 --> 00:34:37,988
Speaker 11: we've all gone on these you know, we go on

800
00:34:38,028 --> 00:34:41,388
Speaker 11: the same emotional rollercoaster ride with each other. And now

801
00:34:41,468 --> 00:34:44,308
Speaker 11: you can share the contents of the package with your

802
00:34:44,348 --> 00:34:47,068
Speaker 11: friends and your family once you once your team is lost.

803
00:34:47,388 --> 00:34:51,068
Speaker 5: So I love Key and Beam. It's my new favorite show.

804
00:34:51,308 --> 00:34:54,428
Speaker 7: I'm way into this because I love Beam, I love you,

805
00:34:54,708 --> 00:34:56,148
Speaker 7: and I want to put you to the test though

806
00:34:56,188 --> 00:35:00,628
Speaker 7: Ki seven stages of defeat, Penn State lose us a

807
00:35:00,668 --> 00:35:01,148
Speaker 7: Notre Dame.

808
00:35:01,268 --> 00:35:02,428
Speaker 5: It's a very close game.

809
00:35:02,508 --> 00:35:04,628
Speaker 7: Now take can you take us through what that was

810
00:35:04,708 --> 00:35:06,628
Speaker 7: like for you through the lens of Jim Beam and

811
00:35:06,708 --> 00:35:07,428
Speaker 7: how you dealt with that.

812
00:35:08,228 --> 00:35:09,188
Speaker 10: Yeah, So the.

813
00:35:09,268 --> 00:35:12,788
Speaker 11: First stage, the first stage is typically shock, but my

814
00:35:12,988 --> 00:35:16,748
Speaker 11: shock stage is always very very short, and then followed

815
00:35:16,788 --> 00:35:19,268
Speaker 11: almost immediately by what I call the New York Jets phase,

816
00:35:19,508 --> 00:35:22,148
Speaker 11: which is the we just can't have nice things phase.

817
00:35:22,348 --> 00:35:24,348
Speaker 10: That's that, yes, and so that's there's that phase.

818
00:35:24,828 --> 00:35:27,268
Speaker 11: Then there's then there's the denial, which is, you know,

819
00:35:27,348 --> 00:35:29,188
Speaker 11: your brain goes, that wasn't an interception.

820
00:35:29,308 --> 00:35:33,068
Speaker 10: He fell, he fell on the ground. Fault, Yeah, yeah,

821
00:35:33,628 --> 00:35:34,708
Speaker 10: make it not an interception.

822
00:35:35,228 --> 00:35:37,908
Speaker 11: Then you go into anger, which is just which is

823
00:35:38,148 --> 00:35:42,268
Speaker 11: just around the house and just saying the word Franklin

824
00:35:42,428 --> 00:35:47,028
Speaker 11: over and over again, and then right, it's just whoa,

825
00:35:47,268 --> 00:35:49,068
Speaker 11: which I think is a great word we don't use enough.

826
00:35:49,108 --> 00:35:53,028
Speaker 11: I'm feeling whoa that I'm in whoa, and then going okay,

827
00:35:53,148 --> 00:35:54,668
Speaker 11: so I guess it's a few months and it's going.

828
00:35:54,708 --> 00:35:57,228
Speaker 11: Then we couldn't we've gone to the final. Even if

829
00:35:57,268 --> 00:35:58,588
Speaker 11: we'd lost, we still could say. We go into a

830
00:35:58,868 --> 00:36:01,708
Speaker 11: you know, you do all that. But then there's the rebuilding,

831
00:36:01,788 --> 00:36:03,588
Speaker 11: which is to start thinking, hey, I know that we

832
00:36:03,668 --> 00:36:06,628
Speaker 11: have this new quarterback and maybe Drew Aller or stay

833
00:36:06,668 --> 00:36:08,668
Speaker 11: and he'll be even better next year. So you know,

834
00:36:08,828 --> 00:36:11,388
Speaker 11: I go through all of the I've gone through all

835
00:36:11,428 --> 00:36:14,028
Speaker 11: of those stages already. I just now have to get

836
00:36:14,068 --> 00:36:16,628
Speaker 11: to the acceptance stage. I'm not there yet, Like I'm

837
00:36:16,708 --> 00:36:20,308
Speaker 11: pretending that the CFP is not even happening because we're

838
00:36:20,308 --> 00:36:20,628
Speaker 11: out of it.

839
00:36:20,788 --> 00:36:20,988
Speaker 5: So I.

840
00:36:23,108 --> 00:36:25,868
Speaker 11: Know that I have experienced acceptance when I can watch

841
00:36:25,948 --> 00:36:27,468
Speaker 11: Ohio State and the re name play.

842
00:36:27,748 --> 00:36:30,148
Speaker 10: That's when I have I will have reached acceptance.

843
00:36:30,348 --> 00:36:33,588
Speaker 8: So okay, beautiful, beautiful, why don't why don't you then

844
00:36:33,748 --> 00:36:36,828
Speaker 8: make your pitch to the NFL general managers out there

845
00:36:37,148 --> 00:36:40,628
Speaker 8: to take Tyler Warren and Abdua Carter high in the draft.

846
00:36:40,868 --> 00:36:41,868
Speaker 5: Go ahead and make that case.

847
00:36:42,588 --> 00:36:44,588
Speaker 11: Here's okay, for those of you who are in the

848
00:36:44,628 --> 00:36:48,828
Speaker 11: top five picks, I'm talking specifically to the New York Giants.

849
00:36:49,748 --> 00:36:51,988
Speaker 11: You're not your third. You're not going to get a quarterback.

850
00:36:52,028 --> 00:36:54,668
Speaker 11: You're not getting your duer, You're not getting camm So

851
00:36:54,908 --> 00:36:58,868
Speaker 11: here's my plan for you. Take a dual Carter because

852
00:36:59,028 --> 00:37:01,708
Speaker 11: you at least could stop the other team from scoring.

853
00:37:01,948 --> 00:37:04,148
Speaker 11: If you can't score, at least top the other team

854
00:37:04,148 --> 00:37:07,348
Speaker 11: from Okay, everybody, same thing with Cleveland. You don't have

855
00:37:07,348 --> 00:37:10,348
Speaker 11: a court. You got a quarterbacks disaster right now. Fine,

856
00:37:10,908 --> 00:37:12,948
Speaker 11: put somebody on the other side of Miles Gearrett. You

857
00:37:13,108 --> 00:37:14,508
Speaker 11: kidding me, I'll duel Carter.

858
00:37:15,188 --> 00:37:15,468
Speaker 5: Okay.

859
00:37:15,508 --> 00:37:17,068
Speaker 10: So that's that argument. Here's the second.

860
00:37:17,708 --> 00:37:22,708
Speaker 11: Tyler Warren plays every single position on the offense. If

861
00:37:22,748 --> 00:37:26,428
Speaker 11: you don't have a quarterback raft Tyler Warren anyway, he'll

862
00:37:26,468 --> 00:37:29,388
Speaker 11: be your quarterback. He'll be your quarterback. That can be

863
00:37:29,428 --> 00:37:32,108
Speaker 11: your running back, your quarterback, your your your wide receiver.

864
00:37:32,268 --> 00:37:34,188
Speaker 11: He can be anything you want the hell play on

865
00:37:34,268 --> 00:37:36,468
Speaker 11: the line for if you want. These are two guys

866
00:37:36,468 --> 00:37:38,468
Speaker 11: who are They're not even diamonds in the rough. People

867
00:37:38,748 --> 00:37:40,868
Speaker 11: watch the tape. Take both of these guys.

868
00:37:41,188 --> 00:37:44,628
Speaker 10: Early first round, early first round. I'm telling you do

869
00:37:44,708 --> 00:37:44,948
Speaker 10: it now.

870
00:37:45,028 --> 00:37:47,508
Speaker 5: Well you sound like an agent, beautiful, All right, Well

871
00:37:47,548 --> 00:37:47,908
Speaker 5: I'm doing.

872
00:37:47,988 --> 00:37:50,588
Speaker 2: Carter showed me everything I needed to see when he

873
00:37:50,668 --> 00:37:51,908
Speaker 2: had the bum shoulder and.

874
00:37:51,948 --> 00:37:53,068
Speaker 5: Still dominated that game.

875
00:37:53,148 --> 00:37:56,188
Speaker 2: And Tyler Warren as you know and reference high school

876
00:37:56,268 --> 00:37:57,748
Speaker 2: quarterback and can do it all.

877
00:37:57,868 --> 00:37:59,948
Speaker 5: So I am in on both of those guys. I

878
00:38:00,068 --> 00:38:02,708
Speaker 5: am ready. I do want to go back to original

879
00:38:02,788 --> 00:38:03,508
Speaker 5: question about the jersey.

880
00:38:03,588 --> 00:38:05,668
Speaker 2: The other side of it was, do you have a

881
00:38:05,788 --> 00:38:09,988
Speaker 2: problem with fans referring to the term we when discussing

882
00:38:10,068 --> 00:38:11,228
Speaker 2: how their team is performing?

883
00:38:11,308 --> 00:38:15,348
Speaker 5: In other words, we play the Commanders this weekend? Your

884
00:38:15,428 --> 00:38:15,868
Speaker 5: take on that.

885
00:38:16,388 --> 00:38:18,028
Speaker 10: This kind of goes to the Jim Beam thing too.

886
00:38:18,428 --> 00:38:22,588
Speaker 11: It is a collective experience. And I don't want to call,

887
00:38:22,708 --> 00:38:23,748
Speaker 11: like I said, don't want to be the pop that

888
00:38:23,828 --> 00:38:27,228
Speaker 11: calls the kettle black. But I tried really hard to

889
00:38:27,308 --> 00:38:34,468
Speaker 11: say the team or how I'm on that side of

890
00:38:34,548 --> 00:38:37,588
Speaker 11: the wee argument. I am definitely not out there playing,

891
00:38:38,068 --> 00:38:42,948
Speaker 11: so I like to say our and it's something I've

892
00:38:43,028 --> 00:38:43,668
Speaker 11: been working on.

893
00:38:45,188 --> 00:38:46,388
Speaker 5: I did hear you say we earlier.

894
00:38:53,908 --> 00:38:56,068
Speaker 7: He's an old friend, he's working with Jim Beam now

895
00:38:56,348 --> 00:38:58,628
Speaker 7: and he has a huge game this weekend against the Commander,

896
00:38:58,708 --> 00:39:00,188
Speaker 7: so we got to make sure he rests and gets

897
00:39:00,228 --> 00:39:02,388
Speaker 7: us time to get ready for that game. Kicking Michael Kay,

898
00:39:02,428 --> 00:39:03,588
Speaker 7: We love you man, It's great to see you.

899
00:39:04,428 --> 00:39:10,828
Speaker 10: Love you guys. See y'all take care, take you take care.

900
00:39:11,108 --> 00:39:11,748
Speaker 10: We better win
