1 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 --> 00:00:08,388 Speaker 1: partnership with iHeartRadio. 3 00:00:08,948 --> 00:00:11,748 Speaker 2: Welcome to Good Morning Football, presented by Old Trapper. 4 00:00:13,148 --> 00:00:16,508 Speaker 3: That's right, GMFB. On a Wednesday, everybody look and Jamie Manti, 5 00:00:16,628 --> 00:00:20,148 Speaker 3: Mike g and Kyle Win the tighten up. When the 6 00:00:20,228 --> 00:00:23,828 Speaker 3: Jets of the Giants are relevant, we oftentimes ask Kyle 7 00:00:23,948 --> 00:00:25,788 Speaker 3: to show the back page of the newspaper and for 8 00:00:25,828 --> 00:00:28,148 Speaker 3: a while there, Kyle, we have to explain to some 9 00:00:28,188 --> 00:00:30,388 Speaker 3: of the younger generation of football fans what a newspaper 10 00:00:30,428 --> 00:00:32,988 Speaker 3: is or what print journalism is. I know that football 11 00:00:33,068 --> 00:00:34,948 Speaker 3: isn't on the back page of the newspaper, but on 12 00:00:35,028 --> 00:00:38,748 Speaker 3: today more than ever, Yeah, exactly, we have to explain 13 00:00:38,828 --> 00:00:40,948 Speaker 3: what a newspaper is, but not to those who are 14 00:00:40,948 --> 00:00:44,108 Speaker 3: fans of Philip Rivers, because that certain generation of people 15 00:00:44,508 --> 00:00:46,748 Speaker 3: they know what print journalism about and what it is 16 00:00:46,868 --> 00:00:50,028 Speaker 3: based within. And with that, let's bring Tom Pella Serow 17 00:00:50,108 --> 00:00:55,668 Speaker 3: in to understand further what the situation is in Indianapolis, specifically. 18 00:00:55,028 --> 00:00:56,748 Speaker 4: In the quarterback room. Tom P. 19 00:00:57,388 --> 00:01:00,308 Speaker 5: Jamie, it is always an interesting year for the Colts 20 00:01:00,308 --> 00:01:04,588 Speaker 5: at the quarterback position, maybe never more so than now. 21 00:01:04,988 --> 00:01:08,068 Speaker 5: Philip Rivers, just days after Daniel Jones, effed a season 22 00:01:08,148 --> 00:01:12,628 Speaker 5: ending achilles injury, is coming out of retirement and rejoining 23 00:01:12,668 --> 00:01:15,988 Speaker 5: the Colts on the practice squad. Rivers is forty four 24 00:01:16,068 --> 00:01:19,148 Speaker 5: years old. He is a grandfather. The last time that 25 00:01:19,148 --> 00:01:21,788 Speaker 5: he played in an NFL game, there were about six 26 00:01:21,868 --> 00:01:24,548 Speaker 5: thousand people in the stands in Buffalo because it was 27 00:01:24,548 --> 00:01:28,708 Speaker 5: the twenty twenty COVID season. A lot has changed since then, 28 00:01:29,068 --> 00:01:31,548 Speaker 5: but not, I'm told Rivers arm he worked out for 29 00:01:31,588 --> 00:01:35,028 Speaker 5: the Colts on Monday. He's throwing it like he always has. 30 00:01:35,268 --> 00:01:37,748 Speaker 5: There are plenty of other questions about how his forty 31 00:01:37,788 --> 00:01:40,588 Speaker 5: four year old body will hold up to the repetitive 32 00:01:40,668 --> 00:01:43,108 Speaker 5: motions to the first time that he would get hit. 33 00:01:43,308 --> 00:01:46,468 Speaker 5: There's also no guarantee yet that Philip Rivers is actually 34 00:01:46,468 --> 00:01:49,668 Speaker 5: going to see game action. Riley Leonard, who took over 35 00:01:49,708 --> 00:01:52,388 Speaker 5: for Daniel Jones last week, dealing with a low grade 36 00:01:52,468 --> 00:01:55,428 Speaker 5: PCL injury, it sounds like he has at least a 37 00:01:55,628 --> 00:01:58,468 Speaker 5: chance to play on Sunday against Seattle. They also have 38 00:01:58,508 --> 00:02:01,308 Speaker 5: Brett Rippon on the practice squad. But also, let's be 39 00:02:01,348 --> 00:02:03,668 Speaker 5: honest here, Philip Rivers isn't coming back to just throw 40 00:02:03,668 --> 00:02:06,388 Speaker 5: the ball around little bit in practice. He fully is 41 00:02:06,468 --> 00:02:10,828 Speaker 5: anticipating the possibility he could be back in game action. 42 00:02:11,028 --> 00:02:13,948 Speaker 5: That would reset his clock for the Pro Football Hall 43 00:02:13,988 --> 00:02:16,108 Speaker 5: of Fame. But he can worry about all that down 44 00:02:16,108 --> 00:02:18,988 Speaker 5: the line, maybe five years down the line. The bottom 45 00:02:19,068 --> 00:02:22,788 Speaker 5: line four Today, Philip Rivers is back in an NFL 46 00:02:22,948 --> 00:02:25,748 Speaker 5: uniform and we will see him on the practice field 47 00:02:25,908 --> 00:02:27,988 Speaker 5: with the Colts beginning today, Jamie. 48 00:02:27,628 --> 00:02:31,948 Speaker 3: Thank you, Tom Pellisero. Sunday will mark eighteen hundred days 49 00:02:31,988 --> 00:02:35,268 Speaker 3: since Rivers last played in an NFL game. It was 50 00:02:35,428 --> 00:02:37,988 Speaker 3: January ninth, twenty twenty one, against the Bills, and now 51 00:02:38,028 --> 00:02:41,348 Speaker 3: he might be back. Mike Garafalo, the operative word there 52 00:02:41,508 --> 00:02:44,948 Speaker 3: is might, But even if it's just a sliver of possibility, 53 00:02:45,068 --> 00:02:47,748 Speaker 3: we are hanging our ever loving hope on Week fifteen 54 00:02:47,788 --> 00:02:50,548 Speaker 3: on this because it fascinates us. All. 55 00:02:50,748 --> 00:02:53,348 Speaker 2: Yeah, Mike is the key word. And can you break 56 00:02:53,348 --> 00:02:53,668 Speaker 2: this down? 57 00:02:53,668 --> 00:02:54,228 Speaker 4: What is the mite? 58 00:02:54,348 --> 00:02:56,988 Speaker 2: Like the mite is? I think they have a walk 59 00:02:57,028 --> 00:02:57,388 Speaker 2: through today. 60 00:02:57,388 --> 00:02:58,988 Speaker 6: I don't think they have a full pre I I'm 61 00:02:58,988 --> 00:03:00,428 Speaker 6: not what's going on with the Mike got a full 62 00:03:00,428 --> 00:03:04,788 Speaker 6: practice tomorrow. So it's can he go out there, go 63 00:03:04,828 --> 00:03:07,868 Speaker 6: through the drills and not pop his calf in half? 64 00:03:07,908 --> 00:03:08,708 Speaker 2: Like I know, we're. 65 00:03:08,508 --> 00:03:10,468 Speaker 6: Making jokes about this, and Kyle, you've got a whole 66 00:03:10,508 --> 00:03:13,548 Speaker 6: thing that you posted on social media asking people what 67 00:03:14,308 --> 00:03:16,468 Speaker 6: you know, what are you afraid of doing now that 68 00:03:16,508 --> 00:03:17,268 Speaker 6: maybe you did. 69 00:03:17,148 --> 00:03:18,868 Speaker 2: Before that we're that we're going to revisit here in 70 00:03:18,908 --> 00:03:23,188 Speaker 2: a little bit. So nobody knows. Philip Rivers doesn't know. 71 00:03:23,428 --> 00:03:25,108 Speaker 6: They've got to see how so they're going to try 72 00:03:25,148 --> 00:03:27,108 Speaker 6: to simulate as much as they possibly can. Now that 73 00:03:27,148 --> 00:03:30,228 Speaker 6: workout was step one, but then it's step two with 74 00:03:30,308 --> 00:03:34,308 Speaker 6: people around you in game situations maybe having to react. 75 00:03:34,348 --> 00:03:36,228 Speaker 6: I know, you know, when you've got the red jersey 76 00:03:36,268 --> 00:03:38,308 Speaker 6: on in practice, you're not worried about getting hit, but 77 00:03:38,308 --> 00:03:39,628 Speaker 6: you've got to react and you've got to move. 78 00:03:39,628 --> 00:03:42,108 Speaker 2: And that's a different kind of movement for you. 79 00:03:42,188 --> 00:03:43,548 Speaker 6: Like you can go to the gym and sort of 80 00:03:43,548 --> 00:03:45,148 Speaker 6: do your curls and do all these things. But when 81 00:03:45,188 --> 00:03:47,828 Speaker 6: you have to do it to protect yourself or maybe 82 00:03:47,908 --> 00:03:50,308 Speaker 6: to complete a task, it's a different kind of movement 83 00:03:50,348 --> 00:03:52,948 Speaker 6: and it hits differently. So that's the mic. Nobody really 84 00:03:52,948 --> 00:03:54,548 Speaker 6: knows how he's gonna react with can I can you? 85 00:03:54,828 --> 00:03:56,148 Speaker 4: I'm some Mike is in inside. 86 00:03:56,148 --> 00:03:57,868 Speaker 1: I want to know the news because I think people 87 00:03:58,108 --> 00:04:00,068 Speaker 1: maybe out there are like Philip Rivers is starting this 88 00:04:00,108 --> 00:04:02,668 Speaker 1: week and it's happening. Tell us about the traffic of 89 00:04:02,708 --> 00:04:04,108 Speaker 1: the Colts quarterbacks. 90 00:04:03,628 --> 00:04:04,188 Speaker 4: And their injuries. 91 00:04:05,108 --> 00:04:07,868 Speaker 2: Is he slated to start if he can play, Yes, I. 92 00:04:07,828 --> 00:04:10,868 Speaker 6: Believe if he passes. That's if he goes through all 93 00:04:10,868 --> 00:04:13,308 Speaker 6: that and he doesn't get hurt and he looks good 94 00:04:13,428 --> 00:04:15,548 Speaker 6: enough and he feels good. He comes back the next day, Hey, 95 00:04:15,548 --> 00:04:16,228 Speaker 6: I feel pretty good. 96 00:04:16,508 --> 00:04:19,748 Speaker 1: He saw Leonard and so and he's he's questionable. He's 97 00:04:19,748 --> 00:04:21,388 Speaker 1: out like he's got an the issue where he's. 98 00:04:21,188 --> 00:04:23,268 Speaker 6: Got a PCL injury, which is the ligament in the 99 00:04:23,308 --> 00:04:25,468 Speaker 6: back of your knee, which we've seen. Ricky Piersoll was 100 00:04:25,468 --> 00:04:27,068 Speaker 6: a guy that missed a bunch of weeks this year. 101 00:04:27,348 --> 00:04:29,028 Speaker 6: A couple of other guys took at least a couple 102 00:04:29,028 --> 00:04:30,708 Speaker 6: of weeks to come back from that, which, by the way, 103 00:04:30,788 --> 00:04:33,468 Speaker 6: Riley Leonard I know and Tom Pella Sero does his 104 00:04:33,628 --> 00:04:37,468 Speaker 6: annual before the draft, the breakdown of all the quarterbacks. 105 00:04:37,828 --> 00:04:39,708 Speaker 6: The thought with Riley Leonard was he was sort of 106 00:04:39,748 --> 00:04:41,148 Speaker 6: a project the guy you take on. 107 00:04:41,428 --> 00:04:43,188 Speaker 2: Riley Leonard played really well the other day. 108 00:04:43,468 --> 00:04:45,108 Speaker 6: He had a couple of breaks that did not go 109 00:04:45,188 --> 00:04:47,668 Speaker 6: his way, like first downs there was a third and 110 00:04:47,708 --> 00:04:49,908 Speaker 6: six he completed, and another one touched down that was 111 00:04:49,948 --> 00:04:50,948 Speaker 6: negated by a penalty. 112 00:04:51,108 --> 00:04:54,228 Speaker 2: One ball was dropped, So that being said. 113 00:04:54,028 --> 00:04:56,508 Speaker 6: It doesn't look like he's gonna go Grade one PCL injury. 114 00:04:56,668 --> 00:04:59,388 Speaker 2: So now it's Brett Rippon or Philip Rivers. 115 00:04:59,388 --> 00:05:01,228 Speaker 6: And you don't go through all this to just have 116 00:05:01,268 --> 00:05:02,948 Speaker 6: Philip Rivers stand there and hold a clipboard. 117 00:05:02,948 --> 00:05:07,028 Speaker 2: That's what somebody, uh, it's rip rippandale with injury. 118 00:05:07,068 --> 00:05:10,588 Speaker 1: So what if Rivers doesn't get through the practice or 119 00:05:10,628 --> 00:05:12,348 Speaker 1: doesn't work, who starts for the cold? 120 00:05:12,908 --> 00:05:14,948 Speaker 4: Oh man, Okay, whoa weird matchup. 121 00:05:15,548 --> 00:05:18,268 Speaker 6: You don't go through all this to not have Philip 122 00:05:18,348 --> 00:05:20,948 Speaker 6: Rivers then go out and start a game if he's capable. 123 00:05:21,028 --> 00:05:23,908 Speaker 6: And look, also, I don't imagine anything's gonna happen in 124 00:05:23,908 --> 00:05:24,308 Speaker 6: the next. 125 00:05:24,148 --> 00:05:24,628 Speaker 2: Couple of days. 126 00:05:24,668 --> 00:05:27,228 Speaker 6: I'm expecting Philip Rivers to go even if it's like 127 00:05:27,548 --> 00:05:29,228 Speaker 6: practice time with these yeah. 128 00:05:29,148 --> 00:05:29,828 Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah wow. 129 00:05:29,908 --> 00:05:33,268 Speaker 3: And and Anthony Richardson is still suffering with like a 130 00:05:33,308 --> 00:05:37,628 Speaker 3: broken cheap bone or something from August right that he's 131 00:05:37,628 --> 00:05:38,068 Speaker 3: still on. 132 00:05:38,348 --> 00:05:39,028 Speaker 4: That was the season. 133 00:05:39,028 --> 00:05:42,148 Speaker 2: That was during the season. Yeah, it was during the season. 134 00:05:42,148 --> 00:05:43,508 Speaker 2: It was during You can't make this up. 135 00:05:43,548 --> 00:05:43,828 Speaker 4: It was a. 136 00:05:44,028 --> 00:05:44,708 Speaker 2: It was a band. 137 00:05:44,868 --> 00:05:47,068 Speaker 1: He blasted himself in the face, right, and me, it's 138 00:05:47,148 --> 00:05:49,428 Speaker 1: terrible that left. I'm not either, but I thought the 139 00:05:49,468 --> 00:05:51,668 Speaker 1: second day got hurt. I'm like, oh, well, see Richardson 140 00:05:51,668 --> 00:05:55,268 Speaker 1: now he's out to fractured orbital bone from pros and 141 00:05:55,268 --> 00:05:57,108 Speaker 1: they're like those bunge of cords on top of the car, like, 142 00:05:57,108 --> 00:05:58,668 Speaker 1: don't don't mess with listen, we're. 143 00:05:58,468 --> 00:05:59,948 Speaker 2: Gonna we're asking people like that. 144 00:06:00,028 --> 00:06:01,868 Speaker 6: You would think, if you're in your mid forties, one 145 00:06:01,868 --> 00:06:03,868 Speaker 6: of these elastic beds could snap back and hit me 146 00:06:03,868 --> 00:06:06,068 Speaker 6: in the face and hold on, man, Ty, where do. 147 00:06:06,068 --> 00:06:07,908 Speaker 4: You come out? Well, this is where I come I think. 148 00:06:07,948 --> 00:06:12,028 Speaker 7: To answer your question, KB, who actually plays if Phil 149 00:06:12,068 --> 00:06:15,348 Speaker 7: doesn't play, I mean Tyler Warren. I mean there's reports 150 00:06:15,348 --> 00:06:19,548 Speaker 7: he he's like, there's second quarterback up like Tyler Warren. 151 00:06:19,628 --> 00:06:21,548 Speaker 7: But when I watch, when I look at Phil in 152 00:06:21,588 --> 00:06:24,028 Speaker 7: this whole equation, he's going to change some dynamics on 153 00:06:24,068 --> 00:06:27,708 Speaker 7: that offense. Schematically, of course, he's a gun slinger. 154 00:06:27,748 --> 00:06:29,108 Speaker 4: He's going to throw the ball. He's not going to 155 00:06:29,188 --> 00:06:29,708 Speaker 4: run a lot. 156 00:06:29,948 --> 00:06:31,908 Speaker 7: So there is going to be maybe a little bit 157 00:06:31,948 --> 00:06:35,468 Speaker 7: more pressure for defense through the air. 158 00:06:35,788 --> 00:06:37,668 Speaker 4: If you play the Colts, which could. 159 00:06:37,548 --> 00:06:39,748 Speaker 7: Open some things up for Jonathan Taylor, but I'm going to. 160 00:06:39,748 --> 00:06:41,108 Speaker 4: Bring something to the table, guys. 161 00:06:41,508 --> 00:06:44,588 Speaker 7: He's also going to change a dynamic I think in 162 00:06:44,708 --> 00:06:45,668 Speaker 7: that locker room. 163 00:06:45,468 --> 00:06:47,388 Speaker 4: And in that meeting room. Today is Wednesday. 164 00:06:47,428 --> 00:06:50,068 Speaker 7: It is their first time together as a team, the 165 00:06:50,108 --> 00:06:52,588 Speaker 7: first time together with Philip Rivers in that room. And 166 00:06:52,668 --> 00:06:55,308 Speaker 7: let me tell you something, Philip Rivers isn't somebody that 167 00:06:55,348 --> 00:06:57,028 Speaker 7: you tell him what to do, like Phil. 168 00:06:56,828 --> 00:06:58,588 Speaker 4: Is somebody who he tells you what to do. 169 00:06:58,948 --> 00:07:00,988 Speaker 7: And if we're in a team of fifty three grown 170 00:07:01,028 --> 00:07:03,708 Speaker 7: men and they're all eyes on Shane Stike, and if 171 00:07:03,708 --> 00:07:07,548 Speaker 7: Shane Styken first to Phillip one time, that could be 172 00:07:07,628 --> 00:07:10,308 Speaker 7: no bueno for that locker room to see their head 173 00:07:10,308 --> 00:07:12,868 Speaker 7: coach kind of defer to somebody who he's deferred to 174 00:07:13,508 --> 00:07:15,948 Speaker 7: throughout his career. So that's something that I'm going to 175 00:07:15,988 --> 00:07:18,308 Speaker 7: watch as far as a camaraderie with that team. Maybe 176 00:07:18,308 --> 00:07:21,668 Speaker 7: it's it's it's a factor that I think nobody thinks about, 177 00:07:21,708 --> 00:07:23,428 Speaker 7: but it's one of the biggest ones on a team 178 00:07:23,468 --> 00:07:27,428 Speaker 7: that seems really close knit that if this starts to happen. 179 00:07:27,468 --> 00:07:28,748 Speaker 4: It's not good for their chances. 180 00:07:29,908 --> 00:07:32,708 Speaker 6: Man, I'm seeing all these clips on social media and 181 00:07:32,708 --> 00:07:35,948 Speaker 6: they're great Philip Rivers talking trash to opponents. 182 00:07:35,988 --> 00:07:37,268 Speaker 2: You know him extremely well. 183 00:07:37,708 --> 00:07:40,388 Speaker 6: If he starts this week, does he show up and 184 00:07:40,428 --> 00:07:43,228 Speaker 6: go right back into that trash talking mode that we 185 00:07:43,268 --> 00:07:44,468 Speaker 6: saw when he left. 186 00:07:44,788 --> 00:07:45,948 Speaker 2: You have to work up to it. 187 00:07:45,988 --> 00:07:47,988 Speaker 6: I mean, what do you expect for, because we've got 188 00:07:48,028 --> 00:07:49,788 Speaker 6: to get him miked up and we need this stuff 189 00:07:49,828 --> 00:07:51,828 Speaker 6: right away. Do you think it's like, Oh, that's the 190 00:07:51,828 --> 00:07:54,508 Speaker 6: Philip Rivers that we last saw jawing with the puck 191 00:07:54,708 --> 00:07:56,548 Speaker 6: ninety yard touchdown. 192 00:07:56,548 --> 00:07:59,428 Speaker 7: That was good Jaguars, Mike Gie, he's talking Smeck today 193 00:07:59,548 --> 00:08:00,268 Speaker 7: at the walkthrough. 194 00:08:00,348 --> 00:08:01,148 Speaker 4: He's probably gonna talk. 195 00:08:02,188 --> 00:08:04,548 Speaker 7: He's probably going to talk Smeck to the force, talk 196 00:08:05,548 --> 00:08:06,708 Speaker 7: across the line from him. 197 00:08:06,828 --> 00:08:09,588 Speaker 4: He's talking smack to everybody. It doesn't end. 198 00:08:09,748 --> 00:08:11,868 Speaker 7: He talks smack to me every single day, telling me 199 00:08:11,908 --> 00:08:14,188 Speaker 7: I couldn't do certain things or try doing it in 200 00:08:14,228 --> 00:08:17,108 Speaker 7: the game next time. He talks crap to his teammates, 201 00:08:17,228 --> 00:08:19,308 Speaker 7: to his opponents. That's just how Phil is. So if 202 00:08:19,348 --> 00:08:21,228 Speaker 7: Phil gets the opportunity to be out there, Mike g 203 00:08:21,868 --> 00:08:24,508 Speaker 7: you better believe that number seventeen will be talking his mess. 204 00:08:24,628 --> 00:08:28,028 Speaker 4: I don't know if he he's seventeen does a great question. 205 00:08:28,348 --> 00:08:30,508 Speaker 3: Great question, that's we're find that out. 206 00:08:30,548 --> 00:08:31,348 Speaker 2: We're going to find that out. 207 00:08:31,508 --> 00:08:33,028 Speaker 3: The other thing too with this is this isn't just 208 00:08:33,028 --> 00:08:34,068 Speaker 3: a Philip Rivers issue. 209 00:08:34,108 --> 00:08:34,948 Speaker 4: This is the fact that. 210 00:08:34,868 --> 00:08:37,548 Speaker 3: The Colts as of Halloween were like the hottest team 211 00:08:37,628 --> 00:08:40,828 Speaker 3: in the NFL and maybe in Najo's the AFC. There 212 00:08:40,868 --> 00:08:43,068 Speaker 3: is an issue now with the AFC playoff picture. Bring 213 00:08:43,108 --> 00:08:45,668 Speaker 3: it up, and it's the fact that the Colts, oh No, 214 00:08:45,948 --> 00:08:48,708 Speaker 3: are in the lurking column. Kyle, can you assess the 215 00:08:48,748 --> 00:08:50,788 Speaker 3: AFC as it looks right now as you look at 216 00:08:50,788 --> 00:08:53,428 Speaker 3: the AFC playoff pics. O, my god, that's a great 217 00:08:53,508 --> 00:08:54,428 Speaker 3: playoff picture. 218 00:08:54,828 --> 00:08:56,868 Speaker 1: And by the way, Jamie, I have to say, Daniel 219 00:08:56,908 --> 00:09:00,828 Speaker 1: Jones seventeen, So Rivers ain't seventeen like that for the 220 00:09:00,828 --> 00:09:02,588 Speaker 1: first time in his career. It's not going to be seventeen. 221 00:09:02,988 --> 00:09:05,548 Speaker 1: That's where our eyes are. Never mind that that lurking 222 00:09:05,548 --> 00:09:08,228 Speaker 1: column is supposed to have the Chiefs were the greatest 223 00:09:08,228 --> 00:09:10,268 Speaker 1: team of the twenty first century. They have not been 224 00:09:10,308 --> 00:09:12,548 Speaker 1: usurped to buy an old picture from four years ago 225 00:09:12,548 --> 00:09:14,228 Speaker 1: at Rivers, who had one year on the Colts. 226 00:09:14,228 --> 00:09:16,348 Speaker 4: It's great and that's how we're all feeling. I think 227 00:09:17,028 --> 00:09:17,628 Speaker 4: it is true. 228 00:09:17,628 --> 00:09:19,468 Speaker 3: Though, So if you look at the lurking column, as 229 00:09:19,508 --> 00:09:23,388 Speaker 3: Kyle mentioned, it's supposed to be Chiefs, Dolphins, Ravens Steelers. 230 00:09:23,468 --> 00:09:25,908 Speaker 3: No Steelers are in the four spot. Chiefs Dolphin's Ravens 231 00:09:25,988 --> 00:09:29,228 Speaker 3: Colts are the Colts at all. Why didn't we listen 232 00:09:29,268 --> 00:09:31,628 Speaker 3: them as our lurking team in our whiteboard Wednesday segment 233 00:09:31,708 --> 00:09:33,748 Speaker 3: last Hour? Is it just a quarterback issue? 234 00:09:33,908 --> 00:09:34,188 Speaker 6: Kyle? 235 00:09:37,948 --> 00:09:38,668 Speaker 4: Yeah, I think so. 236 00:09:39,708 --> 00:09:42,068 Speaker 1: It's the fact that they were at seven and one, 237 00:09:42,108 --> 00:09:44,948 Speaker 1: I think, and then on the day that they traded 238 00:09:44,988 --> 00:09:47,428 Speaker 1: for Sauce Gardner, he was like, let's go all in 239 00:09:47,468 --> 00:09:48,788 Speaker 1: and we're going to win the Super Bowl this year. 240 00:09:48,828 --> 00:09:52,468 Speaker 1: And everything's gone really poorly since then, and they Daniel 241 00:09:52,508 --> 00:09:53,548 Speaker 1: Jones got hurt, Anthony. 242 00:09:53,388 --> 00:09:55,668 Speaker 4: Rich has got hurt. There we go. That's right, guys, 243 00:09:55,748 --> 00:09:56,388 Speaker 4: I looked into it. 244 00:09:56,468 --> 00:10:00,548 Speaker 1: So seventeen, he was seventeen North Klina State. He was 245 00:10:00,588 --> 00:10:03,308 Speaker 1: seventeen in high school. Even as far as the pictures 246 00:10:03,308 --> 00:10:05,268 Speaker 1: that I can find, he's gonna have to wear a 247 00:10:05,308 --> 00:10:08,708 Speaker 1: new number this year. But more importantly, you guys know, 248 00:10:08,748 --> 00:10:10,588 Speaker 1: we started the show an hour or so ago and 249 00:10:10,668 --> 00:10:13,588 Speaker 1: I was talking about how him going back to play 250 00:10:13,628 --> 00:10:16,228 Speaker 1: football is relatable to anyone who is getting up there 251 00:10:16,268 --> 00:10:18,868 Speaker 1: in years, man, woman or otherwise about doing things that 252 00:10:18,908 --> 00:10:20,508 Speaker 1: you're not comfortable with doing anymore. 253 00:10:20,508 --> 00:10:21,908 Speaker 4: And how does it go, whether it be. 254 00:10:22,788 --> 00:10:25,028 Speaker 1: Just posting a picture of yourself on Instagram or in 255 00:10:25,068 --> 00:10:27,068 Speaker 1: my case, like getting on the squad rack, Like what 256 00:10:27,068 --> 00:10:27,548 Speaker 1: what do you do? 257 00:10:27,588 --> 00:10:29,228 Speaker 4: Then?

Which body part would explode? I 262 00:10:38,268 --> 00:10:39,188 Speaker 4: wouldn't walk for a month. 263 00:10:39,548 --> 00:10:42,428 Speaker 1: So the people are answering, here's my version of Philip 264 00:10:42,508 --> 00:10:44,588 Speaker 1: Rivers at forty four, returning to the NFL. 265 00:10:44,348 --> 00:10:45,388 Speaker 4: After a handful of years off. 266 00:10:45,708 --> 00:10:47,788 Speaker 1: A lot of people saying this, a lot of answers. 267 00:10:47,788 --> 00:10:51,348 Speaker 1: They pick up basketball, full court, five on five, pickup 268 00:10:51,388 --> 00:10:54,108 Speaker 1: that used to be fun, and now it's the Hunger Games. 269 00:10:54,148 --> 00:10:55,868 Speaker 1: This guy doesn't have the cardiocre anymore. 270 00:10:55,868 --> 00:10:57,548 Speaker 4: I know, well, what else?

And this happens 339 00:13:33,188 --> 00:13:35,228 Speaker 6: every time I'm covering a cold weather game is run 340 00:13:35,268 --> 00:13:38,428 Speaker 6: into another fully grown human being, Like that would be 341 00:13:38,588 --> 00:13:43,508 Speaker 6: the just one collision helmet, I'm out see me in 342 00:13:43,548 --> 00:13:44,028 Speaker 6: the blue ten. 343 00:13:44,188 --> 00:13:47,228 Speaker 3: I'm done that skin stings differently. I assume when it's 344 00:13:47,268 --> 00:13:49,908 Speaker 3: like thirty and you get hit helmet to helmet, helmet's 345 00:13:49,908 --> 00:13:50,748 Speaker 3: a bicep out. 346 00:13:51,228 --> 00:13:51,628 Speaker 1: All right. 347 00:13:51,668 --> 00:13:53,708 Speaker 3: Tom Pellisaro has already been with us to talk about 348 00:13:53,748 --> 00:13:55,948 Speaker 3: Philip rivers, But I don't want to say it. 349 00:13:56,028 --> 00:13:57,068 Speaker 4: Tom. We have to move on. 350 00:13:57,228 --> 00:13:59,068 Speaker 3: We have to talk about other things that are happening 351 00:13:59,068 --> 00:13:59,708 Speaker 3: in the AFC. 352 00:13:59,828 --> 00:14:02,588 Speaker 5: I guess talking about other things that we can't do 353 00:14:02,668 --> 00:14:03,668 Speaker 5: in our forties now. 354 00:14:03,828 --> 00:14:05,788 Speaker 2: I mean, I got I got a long list. 355 00:14:05,828 --> 00:14:07,828 Speaker 5: I think I related to every single one of those 356 00:14:07,948 --> 00:14:10,588 Speaker 5: posts the most. The most one that really hit home 357 00:14:10,708 --> 00:14:13,868 Speaker 5: was the drinking the picture of warm beer. When I 358 00:14:13,908 --> 00:14:17,788 Speaker 5: think back to the volume of like off brand light 359 00:14:17,908 --> 00:14:20,348 Speaker 5: beer that I drank in college, and it was just 360 00:14:20,468 --> 00:14:23,628 Speaker 5: completely fine, Like bush light was a nice day. You'd 361 00:14:23,628 --> 00:14:28,788 Speaker 5: be drinking something called Genesee Light natural ice. You'd have 362 00:14:28,868 --> 00:14:30,748 Speaker 5: something with a big bear on the side, and you're 363 00:14:30,788 --> 00:14:33,108 Speaker 5: just like, yeah, sure, why not we can play Bay 364 00:14:33,188 --> 00:14:37,548 Speaker 5: Route with this. The whole idea of it just disgusts me. Now, 365 00:14:37,668 --> 00:14:40,788 Speaker 5: it's just such a fantastic agreed degree and somehow you 366 00:14:40,828 --> 00:14:41,828 Speaker 5: just pop up the next morning. 367 00:14:41,908 --> 00:14:42,148 Speaker 6: Tom. 368 00:14:42,148 --> 00:14:43,708 Speaker 3: And the thing is, when you were that age too, 369 00:14:43,828 --> 00:14:46,228 Speaker 3: you were like you'd grab that bottle of whatever light 370 00:14:46,308 --> 00:14:48,108 Speaker 3: and you'd be like, is this even mine? 371 00:14:48,308 --> 00:14:49,788 Speaker 4: I don't know, and I'll just finish it. 372 00:14:49,828 --> 00:14:51,948 Speaker 3: Now you're like a germophobe, and the beer has to 373 00:14:51,948 --> 00:14:54,988 Speaker 3: be crisp ice cold like the standard changes as well. 374 00:14:55,308 --> 00:14:58,148 Speaker 5: The problem with that too. Now you see kids playing, 375 00:14:58,228 --> 00:15:01,108 Speaker 5: they're playing beyroot beer pong, depending what part of the country, 376 00:15:01,148 --> 00:15:03,428 Speaker 5: and then they're drinking. There's just water in the cups 377 00:15:03,428 --> 00:15:05,668 Speaker 5: and a sidebar. It's no do you know what my 378 00:15:05,788 --> 00:15:09,468 Speaker 5: immune system is capable of just based upon that ping 379 00:15:09,588 --> 00:15:13,548 Speaker 5: pong ball rolling across carpet that hasn't been cleaned the 380 00:15:13,708 --> 00:15:16,868 Speaker 5: entire semester, then picking it up, thrown into the cup, 381 00:15:17,028 --> 00:15:17,428 Speaker 5: and then I. 382 00:15:17,548 --> 00:15:18,228 Speaker 4: Drink from that. 383 00:15:18,588 --> 00:15:22,548 Speaker 5: Do you understand I am impervious to every disease solely 384 00:15:22,588 --> 00:15:25,188 Speaker 5: based upon college drinking games. Anyway, you want to talk 385 00:15:25,188 --> 00:15:28,108 Speaker 5: about DK Metcalf, Let's talk about DK Metcalf. He stayed 386 00:15:28,148 --> 00:15:31,908 Speaker 5: overnight in Baltimore, stayed behind, went to the hospital not 387 00:15:32,028 --> 00:15:34,708 Speaker 5: because of a drinking game related incident, but because of 388 00:15:34,708 --> 00:15:37,748 Speaker 5: something that happened in the game against the Ravens. He 389 00:15:37,828 --> 00:15:40,788 Speaker 5: had stomach issues after the game, but coach Mike Tomlin 390 00:15:40,868 --> 00:15:43,948 Speaker 5: said the DK's moving in the right direction. Does not 391 00:15:44,028 --> 00:15:46,348 Speaker 5: think it is going to jeopardize his status for what 392 00:15:46,468 --> 00:15:49,948 Speaker 5: is now a huge game on Monday night against the Dolphins. 393 00:15:49,988 --> 00:15:53,108 Speaker 5: In other wide receiver news, Buccaneers wide receivers Mike Evans 394 00:15:53,108 --> 00:15:58,508 Speaker 5: and Jalen McMillan limited in practice once again officially on Tuesday, 395 00:15:58,548 --> 00:16:01,828 Speaker 5: but coach Todd Bowles has not yet ruled out either 396 00:16:02,028 --> 00:16:05,428 Speaker 5: for Thursday Night's game against the foul It's Evans, of course, 397 00:16:05,428 --> 00:16:07,348 Speaker 5: had the broken collar bone in the game that he 398 00:16:07,428 --> 00:16:10,188 Speaker 5: returned to the lineup. Jyalen McMillan is not played in 399 00:16:10,268 --> 00:16:13,988 Speaker 5: forever because of a serious neck injury, but both have 400 00:16:14,028 --> 00:16:17,108 Speaker 5: been ramping up. Still technically on injured reserve, they would 401 00:16:17,148 --> 00:16:19,748 Speaker 5: have to be activated by four pm Eastern time on 402 00:16:19,828 --> 00:16:23,508 Speaker 5: Thursday to play against the Falcons. Meanwhile, Falcons wide receiver 403 00:16:23,908 --> 00:16:27,548 Speaker 5: Drake London their superstar officially day today according to coach 404 00:16:27,628 --> 00:16:30,388 Speaker 5: Rahem Morris, but London has not practiced since he'sce evered 405 00:16:30,428 --> 00:16:34,068 Speaker 5: a PCL spring back on November sixteenth against the Panthers. 406 00:16:34,108 --> 00:16:36,868 Speaker 5: At this stage, it would be a shock if London 407 00:16:36,908 --> 00:16:39,828 Speaker 5: plays on Thursday night against Tampa Bay, and it still 408 00:16:39,828 --> 00:16:41,868 Speaker 5: remains to be seen whether we see Drake London on 409 00:16:41,908 --> 00:16:43,988 Speaker 5: the field at all the rest of this season. With 410 00:16:44,028 --> 00:16:47,228 Speaker 5: the Falcons now out of playoff contention, Jamie not. 411 00:16:47,308 --> 00:16:49,548 Speaker 3: The piece of the shag carpet stuck to the ping 412 00:16:49,668 --> 00:16:51,748 Speaker 3: pong ball that lands in your cup and then you 413 00:16:51,748 --> 00:16:54,348 Speaker 3: have to drink the beer tom that memory take it. 414 00:16:54,308 --> 00:16:56,428 Speaker 5: It'd be a cup of water and you would just 415 00:16:56,508 --> 00:16:58,948 Speaker 5: see like three hairs and like some specks of dirt 416 00:16:59,028 --> 00:17:01,188 Speaker 5: and you just dunk it. You didn't even dry it 417 00:17:01,268 --> 00:17:03,988 Speaker 5: after you just dunk it, then wipe it on your 418 00:17:03,988 --> 00:17:06,908 Speaker 5: own shirt and then throw it again into a cup 419 00:17:06,948 --> 00:17:09,548 Speaker 5: that someone is drinking from. Do you understand what the 420 00:17:09,588 --> 00:17:11,188 Speaker 5: early two thousands were like? 421 00:17:11,588 --> 00:17:14,908 Speaker 2: This is how we lived. It was completely normal. 422 00:17:14,988 --> 00:17:17,868 Speaker 5: Philip Rivers was in college from two thousand to two 423 00:17:17,868 --> 00:17:20,068 Speaker 5: thousand and four. I'm guessing he might have played a 424 00:17:20,068 --> 00:17:23,588 Speaker 5: game or two here. He's in much better physical, internal 425 00:17:23,668 --> 00:17:25,908 Speaker 5: digestive health. I would imagine at this point we'll see 426 00:17:25,908 --> 00:17:27,628 Speaker 5: if that translations in a good football on something. 427 00:17:27,668 --> 00:17:29,628 Speaker 3: Well, that's what the Philip Rivers parallel is. He's wiping 428 00:17:29,628 --> 00:17:31,228 Speaker 3: the old football on the shirt and he's just gonna 429 00:17:31,228 --> 00:17:33,028 Speaker 3: go out there and sling it, maybe for the Colts. 430 00:17:33,028 --> 00:17:37,988 Speaker 3: Moving on on GMFB, All right, let's. 431 00:17:37,828 --> 00:17:39,668 Speaker 1: Get an old friend in here. He's one hundred percent 432 00:17:39,708 --> 00:17:43,068 Speaker 1: pure charisma. He has wwa superstar the miz and he's 433 00:17:43,108 --> 00:17:45,468 Speaker 1: coming on TV to talk about the Cleveland Browns and 434 00:17:45,548 --> 00:17:48,508 Speaker 1: John Cena just another one of his childhood dreams coming through. 435 00:17:48,668 --> 00:17:49,468 Speaker 4: What's up, Mike, coming? 436 00:17:50,628 --> 00:17:52,148 Speaker 8: Well, it'd be a lot. 437 00:17:52,028 --> 00:17:54,148 Speaker 9: Better if the Browns could actually make the playoffs. That 438 00:17:54,148 --> 00:17:56,548 Speaker 9: would be really nice, be really nice, Kyle. But you 439 00:17:56,628 --> 00:17:57,788 Speaker 9: know we're not there this year. 440 00:17:58,148 --> 00:18:00,908 Speaker 1: Well, listen, your life is about achieving your dreams. Let's 441 00:18:00,988 --> 00:18:02,628 Speaker 1: let's not get crazy with the Browns in the playoffs. 442 00:18:02,628 --> 00:18:05,268 Speaker 1: But in the meantime, Mike, it is weird because the 443 00:18:05,348 --> 00:18:08,268 Speaker 1: record is bad, but Miles Garrett's gonna break the sack 444 00:18:08,388 --> 00:18:11,668 Speaker 1: record and there's this cool injection of fun now with 445 00:18:11,788 --> 00:18:14,348 Speaker 1: Shador out on the field playing, well, just give us 446 00:18:14,348 --> 00:18:15,988 Speaker 1: a state of the nation. You're one of the faces 447 00:18:15,988 --> 00:18:17,708 Speaker 1: of the Browns fandom. How do you feel what's going on? 448 00:18:17,788 --> 00:18:18,308 Speaker 8: Is it fun? 449 00:18:18,708 --> 00:18:21,428 Speaker 9: Is it fun having the greatest defensive player of all 450 00:18:21,468 --> 00:18:23,748 Speaker 9: time and you can't win games? I mean, is it 451 00:18:23,828 --> 00:18:27,348 Speaker 9: great having a quarterback when everyone says, hey, the Browns 452 00:18:27,428 --> 00:18:29,308 Speaker 9: need a quarterback, and then you have a quarterback that 453 00:18:29,348 --> 00:18:31,668 Speaker 9: throws for three hundred yards and then you lose to 454 00:18:31,708 --> 00:18:33,188 Speaker 9: the Tennessee Titans. 455 00:18:33,588 --> 00:18:35,908 Speaker 8: The Titans, The's won one game. 456 00:18:36,308 --> 00:18:39,268 Speaker 9: They score thirty one points on the number of two 457 00:18:39,428 --> 00:18:43,588 Speaker 9: defense in the entire NFL. I mean, are you kidding me? Like, 458 00:18:43,748 --> 00:18:46,548 Speaker 9: I don't understand what the Browns have to do. You 459 00:18:46,588 --> 00:18:48,508 Speaker 9: need a quarterback. Oh, here's a quarterback to go three 460 00:18:48,548 --> 00:18:52,468 Speaker 9: hundred yards and run for a touchdown. Oh okay, Well 461 00:18:52,628 --> 00:18:54,708 Speaker 9: you need a great defensive player. We have the number 462 00:18:54,708 --> 00:18:57,268 Speaker 9: one defense player. Why can't we win games? Tell me, 463 00:18:57,348 --> 00:19:00,628 Speaker 9: Kyle your Utah football every single day? Why are the 464 00:19:00,628 --> 00:19:02,188 Speaker 9: Browns not better? 465 00:19:02,428 --> 00:19:02,948 Speaker 8: What is it? 466 00:19:02,988 --> 00:19:05,028 Speaker 9: They have a great coach, He's one Coach of the 467 00:19:05,108 --> 00:19:07,228 Speaker 9: Year twice. I mean, what else do we need? 468 00:19:07,548 --> 00:19:10,388 Speaker 6: Maybe it was the two point conversion on which he 469 00:19:10,468 --> 00:19:12,828 Speaker 6: wasn't on the field. That being said, what were your 470 00:19:12,828 --> 00:19:14,708 Speaker 6: points in a two point conversion on which he was 471 00:19:14,748 --> 00:19:15,028 Speaker 6: not on? 472 00:19:15,148 --> 00:19:16,828 Speaker 4: Come on, Mike, wnd them up. 473 00:19:17,388 --> 00:19:19,748 Speaker 9: I disagree with everything. Like, so I was. I was 474 00:19:19,748 --> 00:19:22,548 Speaker 9: at the Raiders game, and I saw exactly what they 475 00:19:22,588 --> 00:19:25,308 Speaker 9: did with every time that they were in the red 476 00:19:25,388 --> 00:19:28,188 Speaker 9: zone within like five yards, they would take chaduur out 477 00:19:28,348 --> 00:19:31,348 Speaker 9: and they would score. So they were doing the exact 478 00:19:31,388 --> 00:19:34,228 Speaker 9: same thing that worked the game before. Now it didn't 479 00:19:34,228 --> 00:19:37,428 Speaker 9: work this time, but it worked twice, so why wouldn't 480 00:19:37,428 --> 00:19:39,268 Speaker 9: it work again? So, and I know people are like, 481 00:19:39,468 --> 00:19:41,708 Speaker 9: but Schaduur was hot. Why would you take them out? 482 00:19:41,908 --> 00:19:45,308 Speaker 9: Because it's worked, so why not try it again? And 483 00:19:45,388 --> 00:19:47,868 Speaker 9: that's what they were doing. I like the coaching call. 484 00:19:48,148 --> 00:19:50,468 Speaker 9: I know, I'm it's a It's not a hot take 485 00:19:50,508 --> 00:19:52,548 Speaker 9: because everyone else is going to be very angry at 486 00:19:52,548 --> 00:19:56,788 Speaker 9: me saying this. I liked the call, and I stick 487 00:19:56,868 --> 00:20:00,268 Speaker 9: by the coaches and the calls, and I stick by 488 00:20:00,348 --> 00:20:03,148 Speaker 9: the Cleveland Browns. The problem is it didn't work that 489 00:20:03,228 --> 00:20:05,188 Speaker 9: one time, Mike. 490 00:20:05,388 --> 00:20:08,468 Speaker 7: Okay, So Kyle said in his in his little beginning 491 00:20:08,508 --> 00:20:10,908 Speaker 7: part about Miles Garrett and Miles Garrett is going to 492 00:20:10,948 --> 00:20:13,068 Speaker 7: break the record. He hasn't done it yet, however, he 493 00:20:13,228 --> 00:20:14,348 Speaker 7: is at number twenty. 494 00:20:14,828 --> 00:20:16,148 Speaker 4: They do play the Bears. 495 00:20:16,148 --> 00:20:18,148 Speaker 7: He's two and a half sacks away from tying the 496 00:20:18,188 --> 00:20:21,308 Speaker 7: single season record. Does he break the record? In your 497 00:20:21,348 --> 00:20:23,948 Speaker 7: opinion this week against Kyle Brant's. 498 00:20:23,548 --> 00:20:29,948 Speaker 9: Bears one percent. Caleb Williams is going down. Ben Johnson 499 00:20:29,948 --> 00:20:33,388 Speaker 9: cannot work up a play for Miles Garrett.

Man, I love Saturday 540 00:22:18,108 --> 00:22:20,308 Speaker 2: Night's main event. Oh yeah, man, it was awesome. 541 00:22:20,868 --> 00:22:23,188 Speaker 6: So it's a great place for John Cena's epic career 542 00:22:23,188 --> 00:22:25,788 Speaker 6: and farewell to her to come to an end in DC. 543 00:22:26,068 --> 00:22:28,388 Speaker 6: The energy is going to be electric. What should we 544 00:22:28,548 --> 00:22:29,588 Speaker 6: expect to see here? 545 00:22:30,268 --> 00:22:33,268 Speaker 9: I always say this with WWE events, expect the unexpected. 546 00:22:33,308 --> 00:22:35,708 Speaker 9: But this one will be like unlike any other Saturday 547 00:22:35,748 --> 00:22:38,468 Speaker 9: Night's made event. Ever, because it's Johnsena's last match. We 548 00:22:38,508 --> 00:22:40,788 Speaker 9: will never see him in the match again and I 549 00:22:40,828 --> 00:22:43,908 Speaker 9: know what you're thinking. It's WWE. Whenever someone says this 550 00:22:43,988 --> 00:22:46,388 Speaker 9: is my last match, it's not really their last match. 551 00:22:46,628 --> 00:22:49,388 Speaker 9: When John Cena says this is my last match and 552 00:22:49,428 --> 00:22:53,388 Speaker 9: I am done, he's done. What's upsetting to me is 553 00:22:53,428 --> 00:22:56,988 Speaker 9: this last match isn't against me because I've had a 554 00:22:57,188 --> 00:22:59,948 Speaker 9: long rivalry with John Cena. I beat him in the 555 00:22:59,988 --> 00:23:02,948 Speaker 9: main event of WrestleMania twenty seven and has sold out 556 00:23:02,948 --> 00:23:07,308 Speaker 9: Georgia Dome and for retaining the WWE Championship. As you 557 00:23:07,308 --> 00:23:10,348 Speaker 9: can see right there, nice little DDT cover. 558 00:23:10,708 --> 00:23:11,348 Speaker 8: Here we go. 559 00:23:11,748 --> 00:23:15,468 Speaker 9: So, I mean, it's it's bittersweet because I know I 560 00:23:15,548 --> 00:23:18,388 Speaker 9: will never have another match with John Cena, and the 561 00:23:18,468 --> 00:23:21,108 Speaker 9: things that he was able to teach me inside a 562 00:23:21,308 --> 00:23:26,828 Speaker 9: ww ree ring is unbelievable. Like I can't explain the 563 00:23:26,948 --> 00:23:30,628 Speaker 9: value of having John Cena around, and now the fact 564 00:23:30,628 --> 00:23:32,388 Speaker 9: that he isn't going to be around, he isn't going 565 00:23:32,468 --> 00:23:36,988 Speaker 9: to be able to wrestle the young up and coming superstars. 566 00:23:36,748 --> 00:23:39,428 Speaker 9: It's upon the people that have actually wrestled him and 567 00:23:39,588 --> 00:23:42,988 Speaker 9: learned from him to teach those younger stars. And that's 568 00:23:42,988 --> 00:23:45,228 Speaker 9: what you'll see on Saturday Night's main event. You're going 569 00:23:45,308 --> 00:23:48,228 Speaker 9: to see a lot of older superstars take on the 570 00:23:48,268 --> 00:23:51,988 Speaker 9: newer generation. I believe Cody Rhades has taken on Obafemi, 571 00:23:52,228 --> 00:23:54,988 Speaker 9: which will be an incredible match. I believe there's a 572 00:23:54,988 --> 00:23:58,388 Speaker 9: tag team championship match with some up and coming superstars. 573 00:23:58,748 --> 00:24:01,508 Speaker 9: I believe Bailey's taken on soul Ruka, and you have 574 00:24:01,588 --> 00:24:05,188 Speaker 9: John Cena taking on Gunther in his life match. I mean, 575 00:24:05,268 --> 00:24:08,948 Speaker 9: will Gunther make Sena give up? That's what I want 576 00:24:08,988 --> 00:24:09,188 Speaker 9: to know. 577 00:24:09,308 --> 00:24:09,828 Speaker 4: Will he? Ever? 578 00:24:10,108 --> 00:24:13,028 Speaker 9: John Zen's never tapped out, and if there's one person 579 00:24:13,028 --> 00:24:15,668 Speaker 9: that could tap out John Cena, it's Gunther. 580 00:24:16,028 --> 00:24:18,348 Speaker 8: So it'll make for a very interesting show. 581 00:24:18,428 --> 00:24:21,708 Speaker 9: And like, I'm going to try to do my best 582 00:24:21,788 --> 00:24:24,828 Speaker 9: to do something on the show, if not take over 583 00:24:24,868 --> 00:24:27,268 Speaker 9: the show, because that's just what the Miz does every 584 00:24:27,348 --> 00:24:29,948 Speaker 9: time he comes on, whether it's Good Morning Football or 585 00:24:29,948 --> 00:24:32,268 Speaker 9: it's Saturday Night's main event. I'm always there to steal 586 00:24:32,308 --> 00:24:32,628 Speaker 9: the show. 587 00:24:33,828 --> 00:24:36,108 Speaker 1: Look, Mike, we know this. You took over Real World 588 00:24:36,188 --> 00:24:39,588 Speaker 1: season ten. That's why we're talking right now. That's takeover 589 00:24:39,668 --> 00:24:42,588 Speaker 1: the show. Doesn't matter any show what it is. But Mike, 590 00:24:42,908 --> 00:24:45,468 Speaker 1: tell me more about Sena because John Cena is one 591 00:24:45,508 --> 00:24:47,308 Speaker 1: of these guys. For the rest of your life, Mike, 592 00:24:47,388 --> 00:24:49,228 Speaker 1: people are going to ask you about Sena, What was 593 00:24:49,228 --> 00:24:51,108 Speaker 1: Cina like, What was it like wrestling with Sena? Who 594 00:24:51,188 --> 00:24:53,108 Speaker 1: is that group of guys who you get asked about 595 00:24:53,108 --> 00:24:54,748 Speaker 1: a lot, and who you will be asked about for 596 00:24:54,788 --> 00:24:56,268 Speaker 1: the rest of the year, Sina and who else? 597 00:24:57,468 --> 00:24:57,988 Speaker 8: Randy Orton? 598 00:24:58,188 --> 00:25:00,788 Speaker 9: I think a lot of people always ask about Randy Orton, 599 00:25:01,708 --> 00:25:04,988 Speaker 9: you know, Undertaker. I actually just did his podcast talking 600 00:25:05,068 --> 00:25:06,788 Speaker 9: with him and actually being able to be in the 601 00:25:06,868 --> 00:25:07,348 Speaker 9: ring with him. 602 00:25:07,468 --> 00:25:08,268 Speaker 8: Triple H. 603 00:25:08,348 --> 00:25:10,348 Speaker 9: A lot of people want to talk about Triple H, 604 00:25:10,428 --> 00:25:12,748 Speaker 9: not just in the ring, but what he's doing now 605 00:25:13,068 --> 00:25:16,828 Speaker 9: has literally, I mean, WWE has never been hotter. The 606 00:25:16,908 --> 00:25:19,588 Speaker 9: creative has never been better. I mean, you look at 607 00:25:19,788 --> 00:25:23,348 Speaker 9: We're on Netflix, We're on USA. I mean we are 608 00:25:23,468 --> 00:25:27,788 Speaker 9: doing so many different things between WW SmackDown, raw ANXT, 609 00:25:28,068 --> 00:25:28,628 Speaker 9: Triple A. 610 00:25:29,108 --> 00:25:30,508 Speaker 8: I mean, we have so many. 611 00:25:30,348 --> 00:25:33,908 Speaker 9: Different avenues that WWE is just succeeding at. We have 612 00:25:33,948 --> 00:25:36,908 Speaker 9: a show on Netflix that it's called Unreal that you 613 00:25:36,908 --> 00:25:39,428 Speaker 9: can watch and see the insights and the behind the 614 00:25:39,468 --> 00:25:42,108 Speaker 9: scenes of what it actually takes to become a WW 615 00:25:42,188 --> 00:25:45,028 Speaker 9: superstar because, let's face it, we make it look easy, 616 00:25:45,188 --> 00:25:47,708 Speaker 9: but everyone can't do this. And when everyone tries to 617 00:25:47,748 --> 00:25:50,348 Speaker 9: do it, they usually say I can't because it hurts 618 00:25:50,348 --> 00:25:50,788 Speaker 9: too much. 619 00:25:51,068 --> 00:25:54,268 Speaker 3: Well, that's what I'm wondering, m is because you as 620 00:25:54,388 --> 00:25:57,108 Speaker 3: the ever, the creator, ever, the professional that you all 621 00:25:57,148 --> 00:26:01,108 Speaker 3: are as WW superstars, oftentimes you'll have people civilians come 622 00:26:01,148 --> 00:26:03,148 Speaker 3: up to you and be like, oh can I can 623 00:26:03,188 --> 00:26:04,788 Speaker 3: I do a move on you? Can you do something 624 00:26:04,828 --> 00:26:06,468 Speaker 3: to me? And You're like, oh, roll your eyes. Fine, 625 00:26:06,468 --> 00:26:09,508 Speaker 3: But when George Kittle asks you to participate in a 626 00:26:09,508 --> 00:26:12,068 Speaker 3: wrestling move, perhaps over the summer, like at the American 627 00:26:12,108 --> 00:26:16,068 Speaker 3: Century Championship, you have to oblige him, right, Like, what's 628 00:26:16,108 --> 00:26:18,708 Speaker 3: it like for you and Kittle when everybody's watching at 629 00:26:18,708 --> 00:26:21,828 Speaker 3: this golf event to get after it and I don't know, 630 00:26:21,868 --> 00:26:23,628 Speaker 3: sweet little chin music or something like that. 631 00:26:24,148 --> 00:26:27,508 Speaker 9: Yeah, thousands watching me play golf is not nerve racking enough. 632 00:26:27,628 --> 00:26:30,388 Speaker 9: I had honors, by the way, and if anyone knows, 633 00:26:30,428 --> 00:26:32,548 Speaker 9: I beat him the last hole, so I got honors. 634 00:26:32,748 --> 00:26:34,508 Speaker 9: And then he was trying to go up there and 635 00:26:34,908 --> 00:26:36,868 Speaker 9: put his ball down, and I'm like, dude, I have honors. 636 00:26:36,988 --> 00:26:38,908 Speaker 9: I go to put my ball down, there's a superkick, 637 00:26:38,948 --> 00:26:41,628 Speaker 9: sweet chin music right to my chin, right in front 638 00:26:41,628 --> 00:26:44,628 Speaker 9: of thousands of people, millions watching on NBC. I mean, 639 00:26:44,668 --> 00:26:47,188 Speaker 9: it's not a good feeling, especially because I wasn't doing 640 00:26:47,228 --> 00:26:50,588 Speaker 9: well in that game that day. I would have liked 641 00:26:50,588 --> 00:26:53,588 Speaker 9: it done better in the ACC. I plan to do better. 642 00:26:53,868 --> 00:26:56,148 Speaker 9: But having people like George Kittle where you have to 643 00:26:56,188 --> 00:26:58,828 Speaker 9: have to watch your back every single second, it's not fun. 644 00:26:58,908 --> 00:27:02,268 Speaker 1: Right, You know what, Mike, before you go, this is 645 00:27:02,308 --> 00:27:03,908 Speaker 1: going to be fast the biggest news of the day. 646 00:27:04,428 --> 00:27:07,308 Speaker 1: As a guy like you who grew up watching Philip Rivers, 647 00:27:07,468 --> 00:27:10,148 Speaker 1: He's coming back, man, and it kind of feels a 648 00:27:10,148 --> 00:27:13,668 Speaker 1: little bit like a wweast storyline out of nowhere. He 649 00:27:13,668 --> 00:27:16,668 Speaker 1: could very likely start at forty four years old this 650 00:27:16,668 --> 00:27:18,508 Speaker 1: weekend for the Colts. Have you not played in years? 651 00:27:18,548 --> 00:27:19,948 Speaker 1: What's your take on this? What are you feeling? 652 00:27:20,628 --> 00:27:22,348 Speaker 9: I think you just can succeed. I mean, have you 653 00:27:22,428 --> 00:27:27,028 Speaker 9: ever seen the miked up of Philip Rivers? Like he 654 00:27:27,148 --> 00:27:30,108 Speaker 9: is the biggest trash talker out of anyone. If there's 655 00:27:30,148 --> 00:27:34,228 Speaker 9: anyone that could come back and play to an elite level, 656 00:27:34,468 --> 00:27:38,148 Speaker 9: it's Philip Rivers. And by the way, the Colts are 657 00:27:38,188 --> 00:27:41,548 Speaker 9: pretty stacked right now, Like they need a good quarterback 658 00:27:41,588 --> 00:27:43,588 Speaker 9: and if they have a quarterback that can literally get 659 00:27:43,628 --> 00:27:45,468 Speaker 9: them down the field, they're gonna be able to do. 660 00:27:45,508 --> 00:27:46,988 Speaker 9: All they need to do is just give it to 661 00:27:47,068 --> 00:27:50,428 Speaker 9: Jonathan Taylor and they'll be fine.

Yoga pants rallied a lot of things. 827 00:35:01,388 --> 00:35:02,988 Speaker 1: There's some other phrases I could think of too that 828 00:35:03,028 --> 00:35:05,108 Speaker 1: I won't utter, but yes, to me, as. 829 00:35:04,988 --> 00:35:07,668 Speaker 6: A compliment, we are always walking the line here and 830 00:35:07,708 --> 00:35:08,308 Speaker 6: into the booth. 831 00:35:08,748 --> 00:35:10,508 Speaker 1: Would either of us go home and say that our 832 00:35:10,508 --> 00:35:11,828 Speaker 1: wives have thunder thighs? 833 00:35:12,028 --> 00:35:12,668 Speaker 8: No way. 834 00:35:13,348 --> 00:35:15,188 Speaker 1: So I don't know if it is quite a compliment, 835 00:35:15,548 --> 00:35:18,108 Speaker 1: but it is kind of making a comeback baby to 836 00:35:18,268 --> 00:35:19,708 Speaker 1: Best Graphics. 837 00:35:19,148 --> 00:35:22,028 Speaker 6: We Go, I guess I really can't avoid a conversation 838 00:35:22,068 --> 00:35:24,588 Speaker 6: that I started to Best Graphics we Go. 839 00:35:24,788 --> 00:35:27,908 Speaker 2: CBS using the low battery. 840 00:35:27,548 --> 00:35:30,428 Speaker 6: Animation to talk about Lamar Jackson's injury woes. 841 00:35:30,788 --> 00:35:34,868 Speaker 12: The Ravens been trying to deal with a lot of things. 842 00:35:34,988 --> 00:35:36,948 Speaker 12: It looks like he's running low on the battery at 843 00:35:36,988 --> 00:35:38,908 Speaker 12: times because he just hasn't been healthy. 844 00:35:38,988 --> 00:35:41,188 Speaker 7: Well, that's throughout his career right there, can't be hit 845 00:35:41,348 --> 00:35:44,588 Speaker 7: and now he just looks a little bit banged up. 846 00:35:44,508 --> 00:35:46,188 Speaker 2: Which happens throughout your career. 847 00:35:46,468 --> 00:35:49,148 Speaker 12: Yeah, longest stretch of his career without a total touchdown. 848 00:35:49,188 --> 00:35:51,348 Speaker 12: Look at this, I mean, he's not quite hurt as 849 00:35:51,348 --> 00:35:52,828 Speaker 12: bad as it looks like right there. 850 00:35:53,068 --> 00:35:54,908 Speaker 4: But that was some serious pain. 851 00:35:55,508 --> 00:35:57,988 Speaker 2: Yeah, you're on red. I'll tell you what. 852 00:35:58,028 --> 00:36:00,668 Speaker 6: When you're on red, I think green. Even though you 853 00:36:00,708 --> 00:36:03,148 Speaker 6: know you're okay, as soon as it turns red, it's 854 00:36:03,228 --> 00:36:05,428 Speaker 6: like all of a sudden, full blown body panic. And 855 00:36:05,428 --> 00:36:08,068 Speaker 6: when you're talking about your quarterback Baltimore. 856 00:36:07,588 --> 00:36:08,268 Speaker 2: Trying not to pack. 857 00:36:08,348 --> 00:36:10,108 Speaker 1: Isn't it weird how we see that red graphic get 858 00:36:10,108 --> 00:36:13,068 Speaker 1: stressed out. That was a relatable graphic and then you 859 00:36:13,068 --> 00:36:14,988 Speaker 1: could have just left it at that, but then they 860 00:36:14,988 --> 00:36:17,228 Speaker 1: had the flourish with the ravens flying into the screen. 861 00:36:17,268 --> 00:36:18,588 Speaker 4: To go back to Jim Nett, We're. 862 00:36:18,388 --> 00:36:21,668 Speaker 1: Going to credit the CBS Sports Graphics department, which is 863 00:36:21,748 --> 00:36:26,188 Speaker 1: led by J. P. Lomonico and Kamo Benkenwala, guys, really 864 00:36:26,188 --> 00:36:28,828 Speaker 1: good graphic, excellent. It stressed us out just watching it 865 00:36:28,908 --> 00:36:31,108 Speaker 1: days later, so during the broadcast even better. 866 00:36:31,428 --> 00:36:32,268 Speaker 4: And let's get to this. 867 00:36:32,388 --> 00:36:34,588 Speaker 1: I feel like this has been inevitable for a long 868 00:36:34,628 --> 00:36:37,508 Speaker 1: time now, Mike, we're going to talk about best studio guests. 869 00:36:37,588 --> 00:36:39,388 Speaker 1: And when the New York Giants round by, you saw 870 00:36:39,508 --> 00:36:43,028 Speaker 1: CBS had Russell Wilson in studio. Well guess what Fox 871 00:36:43,108 --> 00:36:46,868 Speaker 1: did in Los Angeles? They had another Giants quarterback. It 872 00:36:46,948 --> 00:36:49,748 Speaker 1: was not Jackson darts, it was this guy go ahead. 873 00:36:50,388 --> 00:36:53,228 Speaker 5: It was since Liam Colan has been getting recommendations on 874 00:36:53,268 --> 00:36:56,508 Speaker 5: how to pronounce duo the right. 875 00:36:56,348 --> 00:37:00,708 Speaker 4: Way, he would how would you pronounce it? James? 876 00:37:02,068 --> 00:37:04,908 Speaker 6: What's your Broadway one? 877 00:37:06,388 --> 00:37:08,748 Speaker 4: They all want to New York got, but I got 878 00:37:08,748 --> 00:37:14,228 Speaker 4: the Jaggs. So Mike, we've we've been. 879 00:37:14,588 --> 00:37:16,388 Speaker 1: Jamis one of those guys where like the second he 880 00:37:16,428 --> 00:37:17,108 Speaker 1: retires is going. 881 00:37:17,108 --> 00:37:18,988 Speaker 4: To get a media job. This is wheelhouse for us. 882 00:37:19,468 --> 00:37:21,628 Speaker 1: Is that enough to say or I've heard this that 883 00:37:21,708 --> 00:37:25,788 Speaker 1: like Jamis has Charles Barkley potential and that that level 884 00:37:25,868 --> 00:37:27,468 Speaker 1: of firepower. 885 00:37:26,748 --> 00:37:28,788 Speaker 4: In terms of being in studio guests. What are your thoughts? 886 00:37:29,188 --> 00:37:31,908 Speaker 6: My thoughts are, he's going to be in the big 887 00:37:31,988 --> 00:37:33,828 Speaker 6: leagues here right, Like when you're doing your your. 888 00:37:34,028 --> 00:37:36,628 Speaker 2: Podium every week and you've got these moments or whatever, that's. 889 00:37:36,468 --> 00:37:38,908 Speaker 6: Great, But now it's you're going to be weekend, week 890 00:37:38,948 --> 00:37:41,988 Speaker 6: out for eighteen weeks plus the postseason. You can't keep 891 00:37:42,028 --> 00:37:44,788 Speaker 6: throwing fastballs, right, You got to mix in some curve balls, 892 00:37:44,828 --> 00:37:46,908 Speaker 6: and you's got to be some analysis as well. When 893 00:37:46,948 --> 00:37:49,628 Speaker 6: you're Jamis and you're doing a one week guest spot, 894 00:37:49,668 --> 00:37:51,068 Speaker 6: sure you want to come out with that. You want 895 00:37:51,108 --> 00:37:52,228 Speaker 6: to come out with your A game. This is what 896 00:37:52,268 --> 00:37:55,148 Speaker 6: everybody expects from Jamis. I'll be curious to see his 897 00:37:55,268 --> 00:37:58,628 Speaker 6: cadence throughout the entire entire season. Plus, he's been around 898 00:37:58,628 --> 00:38:00,308 Speaker 6: in so many places. He's been a starter, he's been 899 00:38:00,308 --> 00:38:02,028 Speaker 6: a backup. He's got to have a ton of stories 900 00:38:02,068 --> 00:38:04,788 Speaker 6: to lean on. I'm looking forward to Jamis at the desk. 901 00:38:04,828 --> 00:38:06,188 Speaker 1: He's just one of those guys where a second you 902 00:38:06,188 --> 00:38:07,668 Speaker 1: see him, you kind of laugh in a good way. 903 00:38:07,668 --> 00:38:08,988 Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying.
