Speaker 1 (00:04):
Good Morning Football is the production of the NFL in
partnership with iHeartRadio.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
Good morning, ladies and gentlemen.
Speaker 3 (00:25):
We are here in our GMFB studios ahead of the
NFL Draft NFL Free Agency league meetings, and we have
two NFL pundits preparing to go head to head in
what we are calling.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
Double box destruction.
Speaker 3 (00:40):
On one side we have Seth freaking Rollins and.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
On the other side we have k B Punk. Yeah, Yeah, gimme,
We're gonna go for the We go to Seth freaking Rolands. Seth.
Speaker 3 (00:56):
Yes, the Packers have proposed a rule change that would
ban the Eagles signature play, the tush push. Seth freaking
what's your take on the Packers trying to get.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
Rid of the tush push?
Speaker 4 (01:09):
Of course, the green Bay Packers are trying to eliminate
the tush push. Of all the teams in the league
with absolutely no kahones.
Speaker 5 (01:22):
Is the Green Bay Packers just like my man Kyle Brand.
Look at him, the Princeton pretty boy looks like you
spend an absolutely zero time in the gym.
Speaker 4 (01:34):
You know why you want to because you wouldn't last
the second in that scrump.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
Your tush would be the one get.
Speaker 6 (01:42):
Past out sock, come on, let's go, Come on, brand, give.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
Me your best. Let me tell you something.
Speaker 6 (01:54):
Rollins, Yeah, let me tell you something. I only give
my patch and the Toush push sucks. Do I actually
hear a Bears fan crying about the packers?
Speaker 2 (02:04):
Shut up? Don't you ever tell the packers what to do?
Speaker 6 (02:07):
Because what they've been doing to your touch for thirty
years is kicking the crap out of it. Don't you
ever stick your nose in the packers' business. The packers
tell the Bears to sit.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
To shut up, to roll over in every single.
Speaker 6 (02:20):
January, to play dead. The tousch push is not real.
No one respects it. Kind of like cashing in money
in the bank and wrestle meh the genuine article, and
everybody knows it.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
No fans actually like the Touchbush. They like to argue
about it. It's like a certain wrestler.
Speaker 6 (02:38):
Maybe fans like singing his song as he walks in
the ring more than they actually like sharing for.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
Him when he gets there. The toust push is the
worst finisher of all time.
Speaker 6 (02:47):
It makes Sentino's Cobra look like Orton's Rko.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
Rollins, you should be thanking the packers for doing to
the touch push what you claim to do to everything,
burning it down next, let's go.
Speaker 7 (03:05):
All right, I read.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
Over your folks, set freaking rollins.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
It's draft season and that means everyone is coming out
of the woodwork in their mother's basement to do a
mock draft. How it's gonna go, seth, How do you feel.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
About mock drafts?
Speaker 4 (03:27):
Oh my god, somebody get me out of the bucket
so I can vomit.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
I already wanted a puke when I looked in that
screen and I.
Speaker 4 (03:35):
Saw your stupid face brand with your stupid super trooper
glasses on.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
Come on, you couldn't punch.
Speaker 4 (03:43):
Your way out of a wet paper bag, son, just
like you couldn't put a mock draft together that anybody
cared about, because nobody cares about you or what you
think you like to believe they do with your little
angry run shirt.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
But nobody cares.
Speaker 4 (04:00):
What you care, just like nobody cares about a mock
draft because they don't mean nothing. Everybody's got an opinion
about who's gonna go one, who's gonna go five, who's
gonna go here, who's gonna go where?
Speaker 2 (04:11):
Nobody gives it. Damn.
Speaker 4 (04:13):
Mock drafts mean less than Kyle Brand's reputation. Son, mister,
mister soap opera, mister days of our lives?
Speaker 2 (04:22):
Huh, mister real world.
Speaker 4 (04:24):
You want to talk about photy, you want to talk.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
About fake that's you?
Speaker 7 (04:31):
All right? Now?
Speaker 2 (04:33):
That was personal. Now I was coming in our house.
Let me ask you something. Let me ask you one question.
Are you high right now?
Speaker 6 (04:40):
Am I talking to seth Province of seth Rama and
sup state the facts.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
Mock drafts are not.
Speaker 6 (04:48):
Real, incredibly popular, a predetermined outcome to no one actually believes,
but still obsesses over.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
Mock drafts are what you do for a.
Speaker 6 (04:55):
Living, you know, like mock drafts, you practice a mock
crash And how dare you? How dare you but smirch
the names of Lance Zerline and Bucking Brooks. Those guys
are mock show and andre of their industry.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
Pete Prisco is the.
Speaker 6 (05:12):
Rick Flair throwing thirty two darts against the wall every spring.
You say Austin three sixteen, I say Chad Reuder three sixteen.
We're with the third round, sixteenth pick. He's got the
Colts taking Tate Rutledge, a guard from Georgia red A
seven three and in the three cones, I stand for
mock drafts. I click on mock drafts. I'm the accurate never,
(05:33):
but they're still real to me, Madam.
Speaker 7 (05:36):
Don't you ever mock the.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
Bucks in my house?
Speaker 4 (05:39):
Get that stank out of the stick to the next one.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
Frager, Come on, speaking of you ever mocked the mock
this is so good.
Speaker 6 (05:50):
You never mocked them.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
Mock the day every day. I'm not afraid to mock
them up. I'll mock him on left, I'm on right,
I'm I'm brand.
Speaker 6 (06:03):
Is this not the best show televity life?
Speaker 8 (06:05):
Come on, Steelers, keep them coming, trag stealers, stealers hosting
Aaron Rodgers for a long visit last Friday, seth, Which
side of the equation should be the.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
One that's most intrigued in the other? Is it the
Steelers and Rogers? Or is it Rogers and the Steelers?
Speaker 4 (06:27):
You know what, There are two people who are lucky
to have a job, one of them Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
The other one is on.
Speaker 4 (06:35):
The other side of this camera, and that's you, Brandt.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
You are lucky that you are on ploint.
Speaker 4 (06:41):
You are lucky that anybody is interested and hearing a
word that.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
Comes out of your mouth. You are Aaron Rodgers. Sean,
you are Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 4 (06:50):
You should feel grateful every single time you step into
that studio, just like Aaron Rodgers should feel grateful that
any team in the NFL even gives a damn that
he still wants to throw a football, because guess what.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
The man's washed. The man's had it.
Speaker 4 (07:05):
It's over, it's done, hanging up all wait a minute,
hang it up. I just got That's it, Brent, it's
over for you.
Speaker 9 (07:16):
Pow.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
It came to me in a moment of enlightenment.
Speaker 4 (07:20):
You should hang it up too, because your best days
are behind you. Pow, you got nothing. It's over for you.
Look at you, your Stragger's sidekick, and that's the best
for you. So it's time for you to do what
Roger should do and hang it up.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
Or you should get down on your knees.
Speaker 4 (07:40):
Get down on your knees, son, get down on your knees.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
Come on over here, just like this.
Speaker 4 (07:45):
You gotta get down on your knees, and you gotta
beg You gotta say Gods of Front Hall, Pittsburgh Stealer,
Gods Bredshaw and Lynn and Swan and Roeblisberger. Please please
let me put it on the same uniform that you
wore that you made famous.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
Please. I don't deserve it. I beg of you. That's
what I need you to do.
Speaker 9 (08:05):
Cow.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
I need you to get down on your knees, and
I need you to beg.
Speaker 4 (08:10):
Beg for forgiveness, beg to keep your job. Otherwise I'm
coming for it because I don't know if you see
on the.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
Man around here now, Mannie, see next? Come yes, yes, sir,
let's go.
Speaker 6 (08:30):
Seth looking pretty comfortable on his knees. Let's go, yeah, Cow,
we could keep my side and right now I got
a lot of what I got my drafts folder.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
Dude, I'm not gonna go there. You know why I
don't need to go there, Peter, this is just so easy.
Speaker 6 (08:55):
If I wanted to fight with no action, I'd watch
Rawlins on the Netflix debut.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
Come on, his beer had a better night than set
that night.
Speaker 6 (09:05):
The shock Master looked more clutching his debut than you
did in Netflix's Rollins, and the Steelers have that same
debut in the playoffs every single year.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
This is really simple. I'll preach you, dance.
Speaker 6 (09:18):
Mike Tomlin has eight playoff.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
Wins, Aaron Rodgers has eleven.
Speaker 6 (09:21):
And the biggest, fattest one Rogers ever got was on
Mike Tomlin in the Super Bowl and they handed him
a damn wrestling belt a set. Do you remember what
a belt is? You put it around your waist and
it says you're a champion.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
And the best part wasn't that belt. They didn't make
it up, set. They didn't make up a new fake
belt when Triple A.
Speaker 6 (09:41):
Said, here's a belt, set, will make up some nonsense
and put it around your waist. Rogers had just by
far the worst statistical season of.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
His career, and he would be by.
Speaker 6 (09:50):
Far the best quarterback the Steelers have had for half
a decade. An institution like the Steelers should not need
one old legend to save them. An institution like WrestleMania
doesn't need a dozen to say, oh, sure enough, rock Sina,
take her all, get dragged off the couch and into
the ring. The last wressel media because the younger talent
can't carry it by the and when the going gets tough,
(10:14):
Mike Tomlin should know what to do and call Triple
H and do what he does, call up people his
age to save his business. And you know exactly what
I'm talking about.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
Rollins, I got it.
Speaker 6 (10:25):
Let's let's go. I said the bosses name, and Seth
gets real quiet, doesn't he just shut that out at
the second I set three H's real quiet.
Speaker 4 (10:38):
All what I'm saying is, look, we won one airplane.
Flip flight away, baby, we can do this thing, you
and me. All right, we can settle the score in
the resco. We ain't gotta be doing this over the camera.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
Let's set it up. Let's throw it down, my friend.
I'm ready for you. Hey, you're little guy.
Speaker 6 (10:54):
Let's go up to the mean streets of the eight
four seven Lake Forest, Illinois, and I'll take you.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
Let's go there, we go on the lake shore rumble.
It's all. Let's do it. Maybe let's light it up.
I am, I am amazed. I don't know what to say,
Sarah Walsh.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
We are going to go right here from the piper's
pit back to you, and I think we're going to commercial.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
But it is hot and need it here in New York.
I don't know how it is in LA. They have
all the words. I love that man, I love right
down day, I love you.
Speaker 10 (11:39):
Good morning, welcome back to GMFB. Since we have Seth
Rollins in house. I don't know if you know, but
he's a big Bears fan. If that wasn't apparent already,
we want to bring in another Bears expert. He played
seven seasons at guard for Chicago. He was voted one
of the team's one hundred greatest players. Let's welcome into
the show, Kyle Long, Good morning, Good morning, y Hey,
(12:02):
before we get into the bearstok because you know it's coming.
You're an analyst for CBS set with us. He's with
us for a couple of days here, so we just
want to know. Do you have any advice that you
can pass media advice you can pass along the set
this week?
Speaker 2 (12:12):
Give it to me.
Speaker 11 (12:13):
As I was getting my coffee in preparation for this hit.
My wife is down there with my daughters watching GMF
be and she said, this guy Rollins, I don't know
who he is. He's incredible. I was going to say,
be yourself. Obviously he's got that. He's got the market
cornered on that. So continue that. I think you can
take anybody spot on any desk you wants set.
Speaker 4 (12:32):
Oh man, you're too kind, You're too kind. I appreciate you.
Speaker 7 (12:36):
Man.
Speaker 4 (12:36):
All right, all right, let's talk Bears. Then let's talk
about him. Let's talk about him. It's early, but I
want to know, man, I know how I'm feeling about Chicago.
I want to know how you are feeling, because you're
very vocal as well on social media about how you
feel about the Bears are handling things and when the
season is not going right. I am as well. I mean,
mine's a little clear. I hate football. I love football.
But you know you got the analysis, So let us
(12:57):
know what are you feeling about the Bears after free agency,
after all the hirings in the off season.
Speaker 11 (13:02):
Well, it was obvious to me that Ryan Poles and
the entire upstairs regime in Chicago took this entire thing seriously,
understanding Caleb Williams is such a special talent.
Speaker 7 (13:12):
We saw so.
Speaker 11 (13:13):
Many high highs and obviously so many low lows on
the offensive side of the football for Chicago last year,
and to go in there and bolster that offensive line.
It's obvious that the guys in the rooms that are
making decisions upstairs are looking around the league. Philadelphia, Detroit,
the teams with great offensive lines, the ability to protect
your quarterback, allows you to stay on rhythm and stay
(13:35):
in unison as an offense. And I really have to
go back to when I was drafted twenty thirteen. Aaron
Kromer was the offensive line coach in Chicago. Aaron Kromer
was part of that offensive line and offense in New
Orleans with Drew Brees. And who did they have in
New Orleans protecting Drew Brees, jarr Evans, Carl Knicks. The
importance of the guard position has never been more important.
(13:58):
And I think that Ryan Poles understood that. Joe Tooney,
Jonah Jackson huge ads, Drew Dolman massive ad at the position.
Speaker 7 (14:05):
They're going to figure out the tackle spot.
Speaker 11 (14:06):
Obviously they got some young players are that are developing
Seth but I'm excited.
Speaker 9 (14:11):
Yes, it's March any great guard play, we all know that,
but they have that now, Kyle.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
They got the guards, they have the lineman.
Speaker 9 (14:17):
I think they have the franchise quarterback. Do you and
where do you want to see from Caleb your too?
What are we looking for?
Speaker 7 (14:24):
Yeah? You know what.
Speaker 11 (14:24):
I was talking to my co host on the podcast,
Mike Renner, and he was talking about scouting, which he's
got a ton of experience in and he was talking
to me about he would rather take the guy with
the physical traits, the God given abilities than the guy
who's got the technique down pat or the rhythm down pat,
because you can't teach.
Speaker 7 (14:41):
What God gave you. It's either you got it or
you don't.
Speaker 11 (14:44):
Mom, Dad, and God touch this guy, Caleb Williams, and
he flashed it last year a number of times.
Speaker 7 (14:49):
We're going to see that more and more.
Speaker 11 (14:50):
Obviously, they want to make their strengths even stronger, so
protect him from the inside out. I love Caleb Williams,
his ability to throw off schedule, off platform.
Speaker 7 (15:00):
He's a tough kid.
Speaker 11 (15:01):
The guys in Chicago, the guys in gals in Chicago,
they love a tough football player. That's what he is.
He never complains, never throws this guys under the bus.
And in this day and age, that's a rarity.
Speaker 7 (15:11):
Kyle.
Speaker 2 (15:12):
You talk about tough.
Speaker 3 (15:13):
You want to talk about that guy that you mentioned
in the opening answer to Seth and that's Joe Toney,
guy who plays hurt everywhere, plays a guard, plays tackle
when they need him.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
Super Bowl did not go as.
Speaker 3 (15:23):
Planned for the Chiefs, and it did not go as
plan for Joe Toney. They got run over by that
Philadelphia defensive line. But the Bears, they make the big
move in the big swing, something that they haven't done
in the offensive line spot in quite some time. You
played offensive line in Chicago, you played offensive line in
Kansas City for Andy. You also know what it takes
to be a thirty year old guy in the league
(15:44):
still getting it done. What are they getting in Joe
Tooney as he is now being brought in to be
the leader of that offensive line group.
Speaker 11 (15:51):
Well, the big difference between me and Joe Toney, Peter,
is the fact that Joe Toney has been so attention
to detail on his technique.
Speaker 7 (15:59):
For so long.
Speaker 11 (16:00):
He's one of the most brilliant teammates I've ever had.
And when he gets five to two twenty minutes of
break time, non football, non treatment, non lifting time, Joe
Toney's either playing the other smartest guy in the room
in chess, or he's reading. He's in his locker reading.
I think that that's one of the things that stands
out to me. He's so brilliant. His understanding of the
game helps him be in the right spot as an
(16:21):
offensive lineman in conjunction with that, it allows him to
help these tackles, these centers. So whether it's Grackson Jones
at left tackle or Drew Dolmen at center, they're going
to have their left guard in the right spot. And
obviously he talked about him playing tackle. Great job at tackle,
but his best position is guard. That's what they're going
to get in Chicago, Kyle.
Speaker 12 (16:40):
Last year I had the opportunity to link up with
your brother Chris One with his foundation, the Water Boys,
and did the climb in Mount Kilimajarro. So I'll look
forward to seeing your golf game next week out there
in Via you see if you can swing that thing.
But I wanted to ask you a question in regards
to this year's draft. Obviously, Shadura Sanders, his dad Deon Sanders,
absolute beast. But your brother and you also have a
(17:01):
beast of a day in Howie Long. What advice do
you have for him? With having a dad that was
played at such a level and you have so many
expectations of you going into this draft, what advice do
you have for Shadurra Sanders and how you should navigate
the seas leading up to the draft.
Speaker 7 (17:15):
Well, first and foremost, thank you for being involved with
the water Boys Foundation. It's a great one, so I'm
sure Chris is really happy to have you involved with that.
But as it pertains to Shador Sanders and having a
dad with a well known last name, I would say
this to any kid, regardless of who their dad is,
go to camp.
Speaker 11 (17:31):
Kick somebody's ass. Let them know you're there to play
some football. Let them know that you're there to be serious.
And I can't really speak on the quarterback position because
they didn't let me around the football. But for this guy,
Shador Sanders, you have the ability, like a great pitcher,
to just say I'm the ace. When I've got the
ball in my hand, we've got a chance. And you
look around the league and the teams that have a
(17:52):
chance week in week out are the ones with these
superstar talented quarterbacks.
Speaker 7 (17:57):
And I think that Shador does have that mindset.
Speaker 11 (17:59):
I would implore him to continue to hold his head
high and just like I said, go kick somebody ask,
go wear out that defense week one, and all those
questions they go out the window and they just stack days.
Speaker 9 (18:10):
Kyle, it's speaking of kicking ass, let's talk about royal rumbles.
Seth one back in twenty nineteen, he won the whole
damn rumble. I want to construct a mini rumble. Okay,
I want you to imagine this Royal Rumble in the
ring yourself, Chris, your brother, Howie Junior, and Pops, all
in your prime, all in your mid twenties.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
Who is the last man in the ring?
Speaker 7 (18:34):
Wow? I thought there was gonna be no stupid questions here.
Speaker 11 (18:36):
And you know what I gotta I gotta put Pops
in the old I gotta put Pops in the arm bar.
Speaker 7 (18:42):
Chris is going to try to wear me out, run
circles around me.
Speaker 11 (18:44):
You know, the guy climbs mountains for fun, trying to
save the world out there. I'm not trying to save
the world. I'm just trying to save my ass. I'll
take a couple of these guys out right. But my
younger brother, I'll find a way to convert him. I'll
get him in on the prize money for the Royal
Rumble of sorts. But at the end of the day,
it's gonna be me having beers with Joe Rogan whoever
as I'm seeing this thing, and I'm just gonna be like,
(19:06):
you know what that was?
Speaker 7 (19:07):
A walk in the park. That was a lot of fun.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
Absolutely, that's respect.
Speaker 4 (19:10):
That's where that is. I learned the confidence, man. I
like that even with your own family, you don't give
a damn. It's gonna be me.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
Of course.
Speaker 4 (19:17):
I'm gonna find a way where there's a will, there's
a way, I'm gonna get it done.
Speaker 2 (19:19):
I like that. I like that. That's my guy right there.
Speaker 10 (19:21):
Hey, Kyle, we were talking Aaron Rodgers. As you know
earlier in the show, you faced him many times during
your playing days. If you were him and these were
your options, Steelers, Giants or hanging up. Those are the
options that we were talking about earlier. Which of those
three do you think he should choose?
Speaker 7 (19:37):
Well, you got it.
Speaker 11 (19:38):
You gotta like the option there in Pittsburgh with those
with those two guys on the outside, and with a
guy like Mike Tomlin, you do have that stability that
you were lacking when the Jets let go of Robert Sala.
You saw that program fall apart defensively when Sla left
the building. You get a guy like Tomlin and you
have that leadership built into the franchise.
Speaker 7 (19:57):
For Aaron Rodgers, you's got to go out there and
prove yourself.
Speaker 11 (19:59):
It's just to me, it's about how much ownership does
he want in the program and how much or the
Steelers willing to give him. And for the New York
Giants obviously great offseason and opportunity to go turn that
thing around. Does he want to be part of a
turnaround franchise or does he wanted the opportunity to go win.
I was surprised to see him not go to Minnesota.
You guys were talking about him as a villain earlier.
He's Dennis Hopper from Speed. He's just back there watching
(20:22):
his news clippings in an office building. He's got the
clicker in his hand. He said, whatever, I want to
make this thing go. That's Aaron Rodgers and it is
every home of a man.
Speaker 7 (20:32):
Yeah we do without him.
Speaker 2 (20:33):
Yeah, this is good.
Speaker 7 (20:35):
Kyle. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (20:36):
A couple of weeks ago and my colleague Kyle here
was brilliant on it. Jimmy Johnson announced his retirement from Fox.
I know your father's been there thirty one years next
to Jimmy, and I know Jimmy's been sort of a
cool uncle to the long boys. Do you have a
good Jimmy Johnson story you could share? On air as
Jimmy parts ways with Fox and steps off the studio
(20:57):
panel for the first time since nineteen ninety four.
Speaker 4 (21:00):
Wow.
Speaker 11 (21:00):
Yeah, it's unbelievable to run that these guys have had
and Jimmy is such a professional, and obviously he's a
Hall of Fame guy at the coach spot, but to
have him on the desk for the last three decades
has been a real blessing for my dad. Terry Michael,
all the people involved, Kurt Benafie, They're going to miss
him a great deal. But I just think that getting
my dad into deep sea fishing is probably my favorite
(21:22):
thing ever. My dad's a kid from Charlestown, Mass never
been on a deep sea fishing but Jimmy Johnson a
lot of boats, a lot of deep sea fish, and
that's what he got my dad into for those retreats
they do in the offseason. So I give a shout
out to Jimmy Johnson getting my dad out of his
comfort zone and also just holding my dad accountable like
any great coach would hold a great player accountable, and
(21:43):
he does that with that entire.
Speaker 10 (21:44):
Crew in La Kyle, we so appreciate you being here.
Before I let you go, though I have a burning question.
It's just been sitting in the back of my head
this entire interview. That guitar behind you, is that a
prod that come off the walls?
Speaker 2 (21:54):
It ever touched?
Speaker 7 (21:55):
It does come off the wall.
Speaker 11 (21:57):
There's another guitar directly to my right which has five strings,
so it's not a six string and I don't know
how to restring it yet. I'm gotta figure it out.
This one I've taken some care of. And I actually
got this one from Jeff I met from Pearl Jam.
Speaker 7 (22:11):
One of our neighbors in Montana was a rock star.
Speaker 11 (22:17):
He was teaching us how to wakeboard when I was
like six, seven, eight years old. My parents didn't tell
me he was a rock star. Now he sends me
cool stuff.
Speaker 10 (22:24):
Like this, A sorry we should have apparently we should
have left some daughter.
Speaker 7 (22:28):
Let's go, Jeremy.
Speaker 10 (22:32):
Kyle, we got the Seth music we don't have.
Speaker 2 (22:35):
We don't have Pearl Jam cleared yet. That's that's going
to take till the e block. Kyle, Thank you so
much everyone, great Seth's music again, got the podcast pushed
the pile.
Speaker 3 (22:56):
Welcome back to GMF ME let's start bringing a new
addition to the defending champion Philadelphia Eagles and a player
that we have loved.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
Watch row in this league.
Speaker 3 (23:05):
He was a superstar in college and now he is
going to be playing with the.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
Super Bowl champ. Okay, thanks, gentlemen.
Speaker 3 (23:11):
Let's welcome in former Brown current Eagle Dorian Toumpsay, let's
go back, man, I appreciate you guys. Look, it's not
every day you get traded in the NFL, and it's
certainly not every day you go from one team to
the defending Super Bowl champions.
Speaker 2 (23:29):
How are you feeling about your new.
Speaker 3 (23:31):
Home and the early impression of being with the boys
that just lifted the Lombardy.
Speaker 7 (23:37):
Yeah, man, super excited.
Speaker 13 (23:40):
It's funny like two of the teams that I had
Top thirty business with coming out the draft were the
Browns and the Eagles, so and then we also had
a joint practice with them, I think my rookie year.
Speaker 7 (23:50):
So definitely some familiarity over there.
Speaker 13 (23:53):
I know a lot of the guys throughout my high
school class and some guys that are playing on the
Browns practice part over there, so I have some familiar
faces in the building. But yeah, man, super excited. Obviously
a Wayne pulture and they know what they're doing over there,
So definitely excited to join in on that group.
Speaker 12 (24:08):
Yeah, DJR, you just you just mentioned it that you
know in your in your press conference, you mentioned that
during the draft process you had visited with the Eagles
and stead of those one of your favorite teams, Like,
why was that?
Speaker 7 (24:19):
Yeah?
Speaker 13 (24:19):
Man, I think just the people in that building, the
culture that they built from ground up. Uh, you see
it on display, whether it's in practice, because, like I said,
we had joint practices with the more end Game and
I've had the opportunity to watch them live and in person,
kick my butt. So it's Uh, it's definitely been a
surreal being on this organization and just being able to
(24:42):
go through the process.
Speaker 7 (24:43):
For sure.
Speaker 2 (24:45):
It's really cool. A lot of guys walk into new
rooms and new teams.
Speaker 9 (24:47):
You're going to walk into a quarterback room with the
Super Bowl MVP. Do you know Jalen Hurts you guys
have a relationship and have you guys communicated since you
became an Eagle.
Speaker 7 (24:56):
Yeah.
Speaker 13 (24:56):
I think we've been in the same rooms, across the
same path. I've never really met each other. He was
one of the first people to reach out to me though,
right after the trade, which I really appreciated, along with Tanner,
who I know, like I said in my high school class.
Speaker 7 (25:09):
So you know, I'm really excited.
Speaker 13 (25:11):
To work with both of those guys, and you know,
I can't wait to learn from Jalen. Obviously he's luned
a bunch over the years.
Speaker 10 (25:18):
Here's something I've never asked someone before. And often with
athletes they share nutritionists or a code that they have
in common. What you have in common with Jalen? You
share a chess mentor. Can you tell us about that?
And when are you going to challenge him to a game?
Speaker 7 (25:35):
Yeah?
Speaker 13 (25:37):
I believe I was one of the first athletes that
our chess mentor, Seth mckowski had worked with Bead Chip Kelly,
who brought him in at UCLA to kind of work
with the quarterbacks and teach him about chess, and I
kind of took the reins of it. Now he works
with a bunch of different type of athletes, from Olympians
to NFL quarterbacks, different collegiate programs.
Speaker 7 (25:58):
So he's worked with jail in a few times.
Speaker 13 (26:02):
And I definitely have to get a game or two
in which once I get in the room just to
see the temperature there and see how GOODEO is.
Speaker 9 (26:08):
So we can't wait, and in the meantime we want advice.
Speaker 2 (26:13):
Coach us up, Drian.
Speaker 9 (26:14):
Let's say right now, I've got to play a big
chess game, let's say high stakes, big money in five minutes,
and I have no idea what I'm doing in chess.
You have five minutes to just coach me up and
give me some sort of advice.
Speaker 2 (26:26):
What would you suggest? What do I do?
Speaker 13 (26:28):
We always live by this CDP. It's a thought process.
Control the center, develop pieces, and protect the king. You
can use that obviously in life. I use that all
the time in football, me being the king, I have
to protect me and the ball at all purposes. And
developing your players, getting the guys in balls different getting
(26:49):
the guys in ball's hands to be able to make
players for you. And then control in the center. You
need that front seven to be as strong as possible.
So that's kind of how I relate if we're going
to go from football back to chess, to be able
to teach you apop minute.
Speaker 2 (27:04):
I love that.
Speaker 10 (27:04):
That sounds like everything that you would write up on
the whiteboard right in one of the quarterback room that's awesome.
You were recently the honorary commissioner of the Polynesian Bowl
Girls Flag Football Tournament. Tell us why supporting girls flag
football is so important to you.
Speaker 13 (27:18):
Yeah, I think like if you think about like the
American dream, I think like my athletic dream has always
been to get back to whatever communities that have helped
me grow when I finally got to a stage where
that was applicable, and I can do that, And so
girls flag and I think the woman's sports in general,
(27:39):
it's growing so fast now that I just want to
be a.
Speaker 7 (27:42):
Part of it. Obviously, I love football in the game
and being able to.
Speaker 13 (27:46):
Watch it, but to have two little or to have
two sisters and one little sister who grew up playing
high school flag football here in Las Vegas at Bishop
Foreman and being able to see her grow in that sport,
I think was really cool for me, and the cool
experience to be able to lean on heading into being
a commissioner and being an advocate.
Speaker 7 (28:07):
For Gil's Flag here on out with my foundation.
Speaker 12 (28:11):
So, man, kudos to you for using your platform to
elevate the Women's Flag Football League. I think that's awesome.
I love the fact that that thing's taken off. But
the tournament was held at your alma mater, Bishop Gorman
High School. That's one of the biggest high school football
programs in the country. My dub family, Romo Dunze was there,
went there, DeMarco Murray, Ronnie Stanley, they all went there.
(28:34):
So what is the secret sauce to Bishop Gorman swag?
Speaker 13 (28:39):
You know, obviously everybody wants to talk about the nice
facilities we have, the nice uniforms, we have, the weight
room and all that stuff. We were always taught growing
up in that high school. You work for nice things
and you get rewarded for winning. And so I think
that's kind of the mindset we go into with all
my high school buddies, people from my school that aren't
(29:02):
doing sports. Everybody already has that kind of mindset that
if you work hard and put your mind to something,
that you'll get and that's I think kind of worked
out for us throughout the years.
Speaker 7 (29:11):
And as you can see, we.
Speaker 13 (29:13):
Built a great culture there and people love to coming
in out of it.
Speaker 3 (29:16):
So it's such a legendary school and it's so cool
that you're another member of that hollowed history. On a
personal level, my name is Peter Schreger, and a lot
of people will call me Pete, and I'm.
Speaker 2 (29:29):
Okay with it.
Speaker 3 (29:30):
But then if people say give a preference, like, oh no,
it's Peter. For the first few years of your career,
people would refer to you by a nickname DTR. And
I think you were find recently you came out and
you're like, you know what, that's not really my name.
Where do you stand on DTR versus your full government name,
Dorian Thompson Robinson.
Speaker 2 (29:49):
Which is what you were given by birth. I don't
like Pete. I'd like to be called Peter.
Speaker 3 (29:54):
You speak for yourself on how you want to be
identified when people talk about you.
Speaker 7 (29:57):
Yeah, I definitely, I definitely feel you Peter. I'm and Dorian.
Speaker 13 (30:01):
Now I will get people to grace and I know
parents thinking me the one of the longest names in America.
For you to have to repeat that, I know, me
repeating it to people kind of gets annoying sometimes, so
for you to have to repeat it back all the time,
I get it. So DTR is fine with me. But
my friends and close family know this called Dorian.
Speaker 2 (30:21):
So Dorian, I tell you Peter.
Speaker 9 (30:24):
The first line in his official Wikipedia pages Dorian Trevor
Thompson Robinson, also known by his initials DTR.
Speaker 2 (30:32):
Scrub that Wikipedia, Somebody go get it and scrub and
get that.
Speaker 9 (30:36):
This guy's accomplished too much to not be known by
his proper name, Dorian Thompson Robbins.
Speaker 2 (30:40):
Think it's a beautiful name and it's majestic. I'm going
to give you another one here.
Speaker 3 (30:43):
I've covered the NFL a long time, so be like,
Matthew Stafford does not respond to matt like if you
call him Matt Stafford like, he doesn't like it.
Speaker 2 (30:51):
My name is Matthew, so I say stand on it.
Speaker 3 (30:54):
It's your name, and you can correct people if.
Speaker 2 (30:57):
They just call you DTR.
Speaker 7 (30:58):
In the future, for sure, I'll take you. I got, dude.
Speaker 3 (31:03):
Thank you for joining us, and thank you for all
the work you're doing not only with the flag football
but also in the.
Speaker 2 (31:09):
Chests community bringing it to the next generation. I think
that's really cool.
Speaker 7 (31:13):
I appreciate you guys.
Speaker 2 (31:14):
Thank you guys are having the great DTR. I'm sorry
Good Morning Football is the production of the NFL in
partnership with iHeartRadio.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
Good morning, ladies and gentlemen.
Speaker 3 (00:25):
We are here in our GMFB studios ahead of the
NFL Draft NFL Free Agency league meetings, and we have
two NFL pundits preparing to go head to head in
what we are calling.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
Double box destruction.
Speaker 3 (00:40):
On one side we have Seth freaking Rollins and.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
On the other side we have k B Punk. Yeah, Yeah, gimme,
We're gonna go for the We go to Seth freaking Rolands. Seth.
Speaker 3 (00:56):
Yes, the Packers have proposed a rule change that would
ban the Eagles signature play, the tush push. Seth freaking
what's your take on the Packers trying to get.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
Rid of the tush push?
Speaker 4 (01:09):
Of course, the green Bay Packers are trying to eliminate
the tush push. Of all the teams in the league
with absolutely no kahones.
Speaker 5 (01:22):
Is the Green Bay Packers just like my man Kyle Brand.
Look at him, the Princeton pretty boy looks like you
spend an absolutely zero time in the gym.
Speaker 4 (01:34):
You know why you want to because you wouldn't last
the second in that scrump.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
Your tush would be the one get.
Speaker 6 (01:42):
Past out sock, come on, let's go, Come on, brand, give.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
Me your best. Let me tell you something.
Speaker 6 (01:54):
Rollins, Yeah, let me tell you something. I only give
my patch and the Toush push sucks. Do I actually
hear a Bears fan crying about the packers?
Speaker 2 (02:04):
Shut up? Don't you ever tell the packers what to do?
Speaker 6 (02:07):
Because what they've been doing to your touch for thirty
years is kicking the crap out of it. Don't you
ever stick your nose in the packers' business. The packers
tell the Bears to sit.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
To shut up, to roll over in every single.
Speaker 6 (02:20):
January, to play dead. The tousch push is not real.
No one respects it. Kind of like cashing in money
in the bank and wrestle meh the genuine article, and
everybody knows it.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
No fans actually like the Touchbush. They like to argue
about it. It's like a certain wrestler.
Speaker 6 (02:38):
Maybe fans like singing his song as he walks in
the ring more than they actually like sharing for.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
Him when he gets there. The toust push is the
worst finisher of all time.
Speaker 6 (02:47):
It makes Sentino's Cobra look like Orton's Rko.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
Rollins, you should be thanking the packers for doing to
the touch push what you claim to do to everything,
burning it down next, let's go.
Speaker 7 (03:05):
All right, I read.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
Over your folks, set freaking rollins.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
It's draft season and that means everyone is coming out
of the woodwork in their mother's basement to do a
mock draft. How it's gonna go, seth, How do you feel.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
About mock drafts?
Speaker 4 (03:27):
Oh my god, somebody get me out of the bucket
so I can vomit.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
I already wanted a puke when I looked in that
screen and I.
Speaker 4 (03:35):
Saw your stupid face brand with your stupid super trooper
glasses on.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
Come on, you couldn't punch.
Speaker 4 (03:43):
Your way out of a wet paper bag, son, just
like you couldn't put a mock draft together that anybody
cared about, because nobody cares about you or what you
think you like to believe they do with your little
angry run shirt.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
But nobody cares.
Speaker 4 (04:00):
What you care, just like nobody cares about a mock
draft because they don't mean nothing. Everybody's got an opinion
about who's gonna go one, who's gonna go five, who's
gonna go here, who's gonna go where?
Speaker 2 (04:11):
Nobody gives it. Damn.
Speaker 4 (04:13):
Mock drafts mean less than Kyle Brand's reputation. Son, mister,
mister soap opera, mister days of our lives?
Speaker 2 (04:22):
Huh, mister real world.
Speaker 4 (04:24):
You want to talk about photy, you want to talk.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
About fake that's you?
Speaker 7 (04:31):
All right? Now?
Speaker 2 (04:33):
That was personal. Now I was coming in our house.
Let me ask you something. Let me ask you one question.
Are you high right now?
Speaker 6 (04:40):
Am I talking to seth Province of seth Rama and
sup state the facts.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
Mock drafts are not.
Speaker 6 (04:48):
Real, incredibly popular, a predetermined outcome to no one actually believes,
but still obsesses over.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
Mock drafts are what you do for a.
Speaker 6 (04:55):
Living, you know, like mock drafts, you practice a mock
crash And how dare you? How dare you but smirch
the names of Lance Zerline and Bucking Brooks. Those guys
are mock show and andre of their industry.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
Pete Prisco is the.
Speaker 6 (05:12):
Rick Flair throwing thirty two darts against the wall every spring.
You say Austin three sixteen, I say Chad Reuder three sixteen.
We're with the third round, sixteenth pick. He's got the
Colts taking Tate Rutledge, a guard from Georgia red A
seven three and in the three cones, I stand for
mock drafts. I click on mock drafts. I'm the accurate never,
(05:33):
but they're still real to me, Madam.
Speaker 7 (05:36):
Don't you ever mock the.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
Bucks in my house?
Speaker 4 (05:39):
Get that stank out of the stick to the next one.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
Frager, Come on, speaking of you ever mocked the mock
this is so good.
Speaker 6 (05:50):
You never mocked them.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
Mock the day every day. I'm not afraid to mock
them up. I'll mock him on left, I'm on right,
I'm I'm brand.
Speaker 6 (06:03):
Is this not the best show televity life?
Speaker 8 (06:05):
Come on, Steelers, keep them coming, trag stealers, stealers hosting
Aaron Rodgers for a long visit last Friday, seth, Which
side of the equation should be the.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
One that's most intrigued in the other? Is it the
Steelers and Rogers? Or is it Rogers and the Steelers?
Speaker 4 (06:27):
You know what, There are two people who are lucky
to have a job, one of them Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
The other one is on.
Speaker 4 (06:35):
The other side of this camera, and that's you, Brandt.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
You are lucky that you are on ploint.
Speaker 4 (06:41):
You are lucky that anybody is interested and hearing a
word that.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
Comes out of your mouth. You are Aaron Rodgers. Sean,
you are Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 4 (06:50):
You should feel grateful every single time you step into
that studio, just like Aaron Rodgers should feel grateful that
any team in the NFL even gives a damn that
he still wants to throw a football, because guess what.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
The man's washed. The man's had it.
Speaker 4 (07:05):
It's over, it's done, hanging up all wait a minute,
hang it up. I just got That's it, Brent, it's
over for you.
Speaker 9 (07:16):
Pow.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
It came to me in a moment of enlightenment.
Speaker 4 (07:20):
You should hang it up too, because your best days
are behind you. Pow, you got nothing. It's over for you.
Look at you, your Stragger's sidekick, and that's the best
for you. So it's time for you to do what
Roger should do and hang it up.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
Or you should get down on your knees.
Speaker 4 (07:40):
Get down on your knees, son, get down on your knees.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
Come on over here, just like this.
Speaker 4 (07:45):
You gotta get down on your knees, and you gotta
beg You gotta say Gods of Front Hall, Pittsburgh Stealer,
Gods Bredshaw and Lynn and Swan and Roeblisberger. Please please
let me put it on the same uniform that you
wore that you made famous.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
Please. I don't deserve it. I beg of you. That's
what I need you to do.
Speaker 9 (08:05):
Cow.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
I need you to get down on your knees, and
I need you to beg.
Speaker 4 (08:10):
Beg for forgiveness, beg to keep your job. Otherwise I'm
coming for it because I don't know if you see
on the.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
Man around here now, Mannie, see next? Come yes, yes, sir,
let's go.
Speaker 6 (08:30):
Seth looking pretty comfortable on his knees. Let's go, yeah, Cow,
we could keep my side and right now I got
a lot of what I got my drafts folder.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
Dude, I'm not gonna go there. You know why I
don't need to go there, Peter, this is just so easy.
Speaker 6 (08:55):
If I wanted to fight with no action, I'd watch
Rawlins on the Netflix debut.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
Come on, his beer had a better night than set
that night.
Speaker 6 (09:05):
The shock Master looked more clutching his debut than you
did in Netflix's Rollins, and the Steelers have that same
debut in the playoffs every single year.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
This is really simple. I'll preach you, dance.
Speaker 6 (09:18):
Mike Tomlin has eight playoff.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
Wins, Aaron Rodgers has eleven.
Speaker 6 (09:21):
And the biggest, fattest one Rogers ever got was on
Mike Tomlin in the Super Bowl and they handed him
a damn wrestling belt a set. Do you remember what
a belt is? You put it around your waist and
it says you're a champion.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
And the best part wasn't that belt. They didn't make
it up, set. They didn't make up a new fake
belt when Triple A.
Speaker 6 (09:41):
Said, here's a belt, set, will make up some nonsense
and put it around your waist. Rogers had just by
far the worst statistical season of.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
His career, and he would be by.
Speaker 6 (09:50):
Far the best quarterback the Steelers have had for half
a decade. An institution like the Steelers should not need
one old legend to save them. An institution like WrestleMania
doesn't need a dozen to say, oh, sure enough, rock Sina,
take her all, get dragged off the couch and into
the ring. The last wressel media because the younger talent
can't carry it by the and when the going gets tough,
(10:14):
Mike Tomlin should know what to do and call Triple
H and do what he does, call up people his
age to save his business. And you know exactly what
I'm talking about.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
Rollins, I got it.
Speaker 6 (10:25):
Let's let's go. I said the bosses name, and Seth
gets real quiet, doesn't he just shut that out at
the second I set three H's real quiet.
Speaker 4 (10:38):
All what I'm saying is, look, we won one airplane.
Flip flight away, baby, we can do this thing, you
and me. All right, we can settle the score in
the resco. We ain't gotta be doing this over the camera.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
Let's set it up. Let's throw it down, my friend.
I'm ready for you. Hey, you're little guy.
Speaker 6 (10:54):
Let's go up to the mean streets of the eight
four seven Lake Forest, Illinois, and I'll take you.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
Let's go there, we go on the lake shore rumble.
It's all. Let's do it. Maybe let's light it up.
I am, I am amazed. I don't know what to say,
Sarah Walsh.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
We are going to go right here from the piper's
pit back to you, and I think we're going to commercial.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
But it is hot and need it here in New York.
I don't know how it is in LA. They have
all the words. I love that man, I love right
down day, I love you.
Speaker 10 (11:39):
Good morning, welcome back to GMFB. Since we have Seth
Rollins in house. I don't know if you know, but
he's a big Bears fan. If that wasn't apparent already,
we want to bring in another Bears expert. He played
seven seasons at guard for Chicago. He was voted one
of the team's one hundred greatest players. Let's welcome into
the show, Kyle Long, Good morning, Good morning, y Hey,
(12:02):
before we get into the bearstok because you know it's coming.
You're an analyst for CBS set with us. He's with
us for a couple of days here, so we just
want to know. Do you have any advice that you
can pass media advice you can pass along the set
this week?
Speaker 2 (12:12):
Give it to me.
Speaker 11 (12:13):
As I was getting my coffee in preparation for this hit.
My wife is down there with my daughters watching GMF
be and she said, this guy Rollins, I don't know
who he is. He's incredible. I was going to say,
be yourself. Obviously he's got that. He's got the market
cornered on that. So continue that. I think you can
take anybody spot on any desk you wants set.
Speaker 4 (12:32):
Oh man, you're too kind, You're too kind. I appreciate you.
Speaker 7 (12:36):
Man.
Speaker 4 (12:36):
All right, all right, let's talk Bears. Then let's talk
about him. Let's talk about him. It's early, but I
want to know, man, I know how I'm feeling about Chicago.
I want to know how you are feeling, because you're
very vocal as well on social media about how you
feel about the Bears are handling things and when the
season is not going right. I am as well. I mean,
mine's a little clear. I hate football. I love football.
But you know you got the analysis, So let us
(12:57):
know what are you feeling about the Bears after free agency,
after all the hirings in the off season.
Speaker 11 (13:02):
Well, it was obvious to me that Ryan Poles and
the entire upstairs regime in Chicago took this entire thing seriously,
understanding Caleb Williams is such a special talent.
Speaker 7 (13:12):
We saw so.
Speaker 11 (13:13):
Many high highs and obviously so many low lows on
the offensive side of the football for Chicago last year,
and to go in there and bolster that offensive line.
It's obvious that the guys in the rooms that are
making decisions upstairs are looking around the league. Philadelphia, Detroit,
the teams with great offensive lines, the ability to protect
your quarterback, allows you to stay on rhythm and stay
(13:35):
in unison as an offense. And I really have to
go back to when I was drafted twenty thirteen. Aaron
Kromer was the offensive line coach in Chicago. Aaron Kromer
was part of that offensive line and offense in New
Orleans with Drew Brees. And who did they have in
New Orleans protecting Drew Brees, jarr Evans, Carl Knicks. The
importance of the guard position has never been more important.
(13:58):
And I think that Ryan Poles understood that. Joe Tooney,
Jonah Jackson huge ads, Drew Dolman massive ad at the position.
Speaker 7 (14:05):
They're going to figure out the tackle spot.
Speaker 11 (14:06):
Obviously they got some young players are that are developing
Seth but I'm excited.
Speaker 9 (14:11):
Yes, it's March any great guard play, we all know that,
but they have that now, Kyle.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
They got the guards, they have the lineman.
Speaker 9 (14:17):
I think they have the franchise quarterback. Do you and
where do you want to see from Caleb your too?
What are we looking for?
Speaker 7 (14:24):
Yeah? You know what.
Speaker 11 (14:24):
I was talking to my co host on the podcast,
Mike Renner, and he was talking about scouting, which he's
got a ton of experience in and he was talking
to me about he would rather take the guy with
the physical traits, the God given abilities than the guy
who's got the technique down pat or the rhythm down pat,
because you can't teach.
Speaker 7 (14:41):
What God gave you. It's either you got it or
you don't.
Speaker 11 (14:44):
Mom, Dad, and God touch this guy, Caleb Williams, and
he flashed it last year a number of times.
Speaker 7 (14:49):
We're going to see that more and more.
Speaker 11 (14:50):
Obviously, they want to make their strengths even stronger, so
protect him from the inside out. I love Caleb Williams,
his ability to throw off schedule, off platform.
Speaker 7 (15:00):
He's a tough kid.
Speaker 11 (15:01):
The guys in Chicago, the guys in gals in Chicago,
they love a tough football player. That's what he is.
He never complains, never throws this guys under the bus.
And in this day and age, that's a rarity.
Speaker 7 (15:11):
Kyle.
Speaker 2 (15:12):
You talk about tough.
Speaker 3 (15:13):
You want to talk about that guy that you mentioned
in the opening answer to Seth and that's Joe Toney,
guy who plays hurt everywhere, plays a guard, plays tackle
when they need him.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
Super Bowl did not go as.
Speaker 3 (15:23):
Planned for the Chiefs, and it did not go as
plan for Joe Toney. They got run over by that
Philadelphia defensive line. But the Bears, they make the big
move in the big swing, something that they haven't done
in the offensive line spot in quite some time. You
played offensive line in Chicago, you played offensive line in
Kansas City for Andy. You also know what it takes
to be a thirty year old guy in the league
(15:44):
still getting it done. What are they getting in Joe
Tooney as he is now being brought in to be
the leader of that offensive line group.
Speaker 11 (15:51):
Well, the big difference between me and Joe Toney, Peter,
is the fact that Joe Toney has been so attention
to detail on his technique.
Speaker 7 (15:59):
For so long.
Speaker 11 (16:00):
He's one of the most brilliant teammates I've ever had.
And when he gets five to two twenty minutes of
break time, non football, non treatment, non lifting time, Joe
Toney's either playing the other smartest guy in the room
in chess, or he's reading. He's in his locker reading.
I think that that's one of the things that stands
out to me. He's so brilliant. His understanding of the
game helps him be in the right spot as an
(16:21):
offensive lineman in conjunction with that, it allows him to
help these tackles, these centers. So whether it's Grackson Jones
at left tackle or Drew Dolmen at center, they're going
to have their left guard in the right spot. And
obviously he talked about him playing tackle. Great job at tackle,
but his best position is guard. That's what they're going
to get in Chicago, Kyle.
Speaker 12 (16:40):
Last year I had the opportunity to link up with
your brother Chris One with his foundation, the Water Boys,
and did the climb in Mount Kilimajarro. So I'll look
forward to seeing your golf game next week out there
in Via you see if you can swing that thing.
But I wanted to ask you a question in regards
to this year's draft. Obviously, Shadura Sanders, his dad Deon Sanders,
absolute beast. But your brother and you also have a
(17:01):
beast of a day in Howie Long. What advice do
you have for him? With having a dad that was
played at such a level and you have so many
expectations of you going into this draft, what advice do
you have for Shadurra Sanders and how you should navigate
the seas leading up to the draft.
Speaker 7 (17:15):
Well, first and foremost, thank you for being involved with
the water Boys Foundation. It's a great one, so I'm
sure Chris is really happy to have you involved with that.
But as it pertains to Shador Sanders and having a
dad with a well known last name, I would say
this to any kid, regardless of who their dad is,
go to camp.
Speaker 11 (17:31):
Kick somebody's ass. Let them know you're there to play
some football. Let them know that you're there to be serious.
And I can't really speak on the quarterback position because
they didn't let me around the football. But for this guy,
Shador Sanders, you have the ability, like a great pitcher,
to just say I'm the ace. When I've got the
ball in my hand, we've got a chance. And you
look around the league and the teams that have a
(17:52):
chance week in week out are the ones with these
superstar talented quarterbacks.
Speaker 7 (17:57):
And I think that Shador does have that mindset.
Speaker 11 (17:59):
I would implore him to continue to hold his head
high and just like I said, go kick somebody ask,
go wear out that defense week one, and all those
questions they go out the window and they just stack days.
Speaker 9 (18:10):
Kyle, it's speaking of kicking ass, let's talk about royal rumbles.
Seth one back in twenty nineteen, he won the whole
damn rumble. I want to construct a mini rumble. Okay,
I want you to imagine this Royal Rumble in the
ring yourself, Chris, your brother, Howie Junior, and Pops, all
in your prime, all in your mid twenties.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
Who is the last man in the ring?
Speaker 7 (18:34):
Wow? I thought there was gonna be no stupid questions here.
Speaker 11 (18:36):
And you know what I gotta I gotta put Pops
in the old I gotta put Pops in the arm bar.
Speaker 7 (18:42):
Chris is going to try to wear me out, run
circles around me.
Speaker 11 (18:44):
You know, the guy climbs mountains for fun, trying to
save the world out there. I'm not trying to save
the world. I'm just trying to save my ass. I'll
take a couple of these guys out right. But my
younger brother, I'll find a way to convert him. I'll
get him in on the prize money for the Royal
Rumble of sorts. But at the end of the day,
it's gonna be me having beers with Joe Rogan whoever
as I'm seeing this thing, and I'm just gonna be like,
(19:06):
you know what that was?
Speaker 7 (19:07):
A walk in the park. That was a lot of fun.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
Absolutely, that's respect.
Speaker 4 (19:10):
That's where that is. I learned the confidence, man. I
like that even with your own family, you don't give
a damn. It's gonna be me.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
Of course.
Speaker 4 (19:17):
I'm gonna find a way where there's a will, there's
a way, I'm gonna get it done.
Speaker 2 (19:19):
I like that. I like that. That's my guy right there.
Speaker 10 (19:21):
Hey, Kyle, we were talking Aaron Rodgers. As you know
earlier in the show, you faced him many times during
your playing days. If you were him and these were
your options, Steelers, Giants or hanging up. Those are the
options that we were talking about earlier. Which of those
three do you think he should choose?
Speaker 7 (19:37):
Well, you got it.
Speaker 11 (19:38):
You gotta like the option there in Pittsburgh with those
with those two guys on the outside, and with a
guy like Mike Tomlin, you do have that stability that
you were lacking when the Jets let go of Robert Sala.
You saw that program fall apart defensively when Sla left
the building. You get a guy like Tomlin and you
have that leadership built into the franchise.
Speaker 7 (19:57):
For Aaron Rodgers, you's got to go out there and
prove yourself.
Speaker 11 (19:59):
It's just to me, it's about how much ownership does
he want in the program and how much or the
Steelers willing to give him. And for the New York
Giants obviously great offseason and opportunity to go turn that
thing around. Does he want to be part of a
turnaround franchise or does he wanted the opportunity to go win.
I was surprised to see him not go to Minnesota.
You guys were talking about him as a villain earlier.
He's Dennis Hopper from Speed. He's just back there watching
(20:22):
his news clippings in an office building. He's got the
clicker in his hand. He said, whatever, I want to
make this thing go. That's Aaron Rodgers and it is
every home of a man.
Speaker 7 (20:32):
Yeah we do without him.
Speaker 2 (20:33):
Yeah, this is good.
Speaker 7 (20:35):
Kyle. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (20:36):
A couple of weeks ago and my colleague Kyle here
was brilliant on it. Jimmy Johnson announced his retirement from Fox.
I know your father's been there thirty one years next
to Jimmy, and I know Jimmy's been sort of a
cool uncle to the long boys. Do you have a
good Jimmy Johnson story you could share? On air as
Jimmy parts ways with Fox and steps off the studio
(20:57):
panel for the first time since nineteen ninety four.
Speaker 4 (21:00):
Wow.
Speaker 11 (21:00):
Yeah, it's unbelievable to run that these guys have had
and Jimmy is such a professional, and obviously he's a
Hall of Fame guy at the coach spot, but to
have him on the desk for the last three decades
has been a real blessing for my dad. Terry Michael,
all the people involved, Kurt Benafie, They're going to miss
him a great deal. But I just think that getting
my dad into deep sea fishing is probably my favorite
(21:22):
thing ever. My dad's a kid from Charlestown, Mass never
been on a deep sea fishing but Jimmy Johnson a
lot of boats, a lot of deep sea fish, and
that's what he got my dad into for those retreats
they do in the offseason. So I give a shout
out to Jimmy Johnson getting my dad out of his
comfort zone and also just holding my dad accountable like
any great coach would hold a great player accountable, and
(21:43):
he does that with that entire.
Speaker 10 (21:44):
Crew in La Kyle, we so appreciate you being here.
Before I let you go, though I have a burning question.
It's just been sitting in the back of my head
this entire interview. That guitar behind you, is that a
prod that come off the walls?
Speaker 2 (21:54):
It ever touched?
Speaker 7 (21:55):
It does come off the wall.
Speaker 11 (21:57):
There's another guitar directly to my right which has five strings,
so it's not a six string and I don't know
how to restring it yet. I'm gotta figure it out.
This one I've taken some care of. And I actually
got this one from Jeff I met from Pearl Jam.
Speaker 7 (22:11):
One of our neighbors in Montana was a rock star.
Speaker 11 (22:17):
He was teaching us how to wakeboard when I was
like six, seven, eight years old. My parents didn't tell
me he was a rock star. Now he sends me
cool stuff.
Speaker 10 (22:24):
Like this, A sorry we should have apparently we should
have left some daughter.
Speaker 7 (22:28):
Let's go, Jeremy.
Speaker 10 (22:32):
Kyle, we got the Seth music we don't have.
Speaker 2 (22:35):
We don't have Pearl Jam cleared yet. That's that's going
to take till the e block. Kyle, Thank you so
much everyone, great Seth's music again, got the podcast pushed
the pile.
Speaker 3 (22:56):
Welcome back to GMF ME let's start bringing a new
addition to the defending champion Philadelphia Eagles and a player
that we have loved.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
Watch row in this league.
Speaker 3 (23:05):
He was a superstar in college and now he is
going to be playing with the.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
Super Bowl champ. Okay, thanks, gentlemen.
Speaker 3 (23:11):
Let's welcome in former Brown current Eagle Dorian Toumpsay, let's
go back, man, I appreciate you guys. Look, it's not
every day you get traded in the NFL, and it's
certainly not every day you go from one team to
the defending Super Bowl champions.
Speaker 2 (23:29):
How are you feeling about your new.
Speaker 3 (23:31):
Home and the early impression of being with the boys
that just lifted the Lombardy.
Speaker 7 (23:37):
Yeah, man, super excited.
Speaker 13 (23:40):
It's funny like two of the teams that I had
Top thirty business with coming out the draft were the
Browns and the Eagles, so and then we also had
a joint practice with them, I think my rookie year.
Speaker 7 (23:50):
So definitely some familiarity over there.
Speaker 13 (23:53):
I know a lot of the guys throughout my high
school class and some guys that are playing on the
Browns practice part over there, so I have some familiar
faces in the building. But yeah, man, super excited. Obviously
a Wayne pulture and they know what they're doing over there,
So definitely excited to join in on that group.
Speaker 12 (24:08):
Yeah, DJR, you just you just mentioned it that you
know in your in your press conference, you mentioned that
during the draft process you had visited with the Eagles
and stead of those one of your favorite teams, Like,
why was that?
Speaker 7 (24:19):
Yeah?
Speaker 13 (24:19):
Man, I think just the people in that building, the
culture that they built from ground up. Uh, you see
it on display, whether it's in practice, because, like I said,
we had joint practices with the more end Game and
I've had the opportunity to watch them live and in person,
kick my butt. So it's Uh, it's definitely been a
surreal being on this organization and just being able to
(24:42):
go through the process.
Speaker 7 (24:43):
For sure.
Speaker 2 (24:45):
It's really cool. A lot of guys walk into new
rooms and new teams.
Speaker 9 (24:47):
You're going to walk into a quarterback room with the
Super Bowl MVP. Do you know Jalen Hurts you guys
have a relationship and have you guys communicated since you
became an Eagle.
Speaker 7 (24:56):
Yeah.
Speaker 13 (24:56):
I think we've been in the same rooms, across the
same path. I've never really met each other. He was
one of the first people to reach out to me though,
right after the trade, which I really appreciated, along with Tanner,
who I know, like I said in my high school class.
Speaker 7 (25:09):
So you know, I'm really excited.
Speaker 13 (25:11):
To work with both of those guys, and you know,
I can't wait to learn from Jalen. Obviously he's luned
a bunch over the years.
Speaker 10 (25:18):
Here's something I've never asked someone before. And often with
athletes they share nutritionists or a code that they have
in common. What you have in common with Jalen? You
share a chess mentor. Can you tell us about that?
And when are you going to challenge him to a game?
Speaker 7 (25:35):
Yeah?
Speaker 13 (25:37):
I believe I was one of the first athletes that
our chess mentor, Seth mckowski had worked with Bead Chip Kelly,
who brought him in at UCLA to kind of work
with the quarterbacks and teach him about chess, and I
kind of took the reins of it. Now he works
with a bunch of different type of athletes, from Olympians
to NFL quarterbacks, different collegiate programs.
Speaker 7 (25:58):
So he's worked with jail in a few times.
Speaker 13 (26:02):
And I definitely have to get a game or two
in which once I get in the room just to
see the temperature there and see how GOODEO is.
Speaker 9 (26:08):
So we can't wait, and in the meantime we want advice.
Speaker 2 (26:13):
Coach us up, Drian.
Speaker 9 (26:14):
Let's say right now, I've got to play a big
chess game, let's say high stakes, big money in five minutes,
and I have no idea what I'm doing in chess.
You have five minutes to just coach me up and
give me some sort of advice.
Speaker 2 (26:26):
What would you suggest? What do I do?
Speaker 13 (26:28):
We always live by this CDP. It's a thought process.
Control the center, develop pieces, and protect the king. You
can use that obviously in life. I use that all
the time in football, me being the king, I have
to protect me and the ball at all purposes. And
developing your players, getting the guys in balls different getting
(26:49):
the guys in ball's hands to be able to make
players for you. And then control in the center. You
need that front seven to be as strong as possible.
So that's kind of how I relate if we're going
to go from football back to chess, to be able
to teach you apop minute.
Speaker 2 (27:04):
I love that.
Speaker 10 (27:04):
That sounds like everything that you would write up on
the whiteboard right in one of the quarterback room that's awesome.
You were recently the honorary commissioner of the Polynesian Bowl
Girls Flag Football Tournament. Tell us why supporting girls flag
football is so important to you.
Speaker 13 (27:18):
Yeah, I think like if you think about like the
American dream, I think like my athletic dream has always
been to get back to whatever communities that have helped
me grow when I finally got to a stage where
that was applicable, and I can do that, And so
girls flag and I think the woman's sports in general,
(27:39):
it's growing so fast now that I just want to
be a.
Speaker 7 (27:42):
Part of it. Obviously, I love football in the game
and being able to.
Speaker 13 (27:46):
Watch it, but to have two little or to have
two sisters and one little sister who grew up playing
high school flag football here in Las Vegas at Bishop
Foreman and being able to see her grow in that sport,
I think was really cool for me, and the cool
experience to be able to lean on heading into being
a commissioner and being an advocate.
Speaker 7 (28:07):
For Gil's Flag here on out with my foundation.
Speaker 12 (28:11):
So, man, kudos to you for using your platform to
elevate the Women's Flag Football League. I think that's awesome.
I love the fact that that thing's taken off. But
the tournament was held at your alma mater, Bishop Gorman
High School. That's one of the biggest high school football
programs in the country. My dub family, Romo Dunze was there,
went there, DeMarco Murray, Ronnie Stanley, they all went there.
(28:34):
So what is the secret sauce to Bishop Gorman swag?
Speaker 13 (28:39):
You know, obviously everybody wants to talk about the nice
facilities we have, the nice uniforms, we have, the weight
room and all that stuff. We were always taught growing
up in that high school. You work for nice things
and you get rewarded for winning. And so I think
that's kind of the mindset we go into with all
my high school buddies, people from my school that aren't
(29:02):
doing sports. Everybody already has that kind of mindset that
if you work hard and put your mind to something,
that you'll get and that's I think kind of worked
out for us throughout the years.
Speaker 7 (29:11):
And as you can see, we.
Speaker 13 (29:13):
Built a great culture there and people love to coming
in out of it.
Speaker 3 (29:16):
So it's such a legendary school and it's so cool
that you're another member of that hollowed history. On a
personal level, my name is Peter Schreger, and a lot
of people will call me Pete, and I'm.
Speaker 2 (29:29):
Okay with it.
Speaker 3 (29:30):
But then if people say give a preference, like, oh no,
it's Peter. For the first few years of your career,
people would refer to you by a nickname DTR. And
I think you were find recently you came out and
you're like, you know what, that's not really my name.
Where do you stand on DTR versus your full government name,
Dorian Thompson Robinson.
Speaker 2 (29:49):
Which is what you were given by birth. I don't
like Pete. I'd like to be called Peter.
Speaker 3 (29:54):
You speak for yourself on how you want to be
identified when people talk about you.
Speaker 7 (29:57):
Yeah, I definitely, I definitely feel you Peter. I'm and Dorian.
Speaker 13 (30:01):
Now I will get people to grace and I know
parents thinking me the one of the longest names in America.
For you to have to repeat that, I know, me
repeating it to people kind of gets annoying sometimes, so
for you to have to repeat it back all the time,
I get it. So DTR is fine with me. But
my friends and close family know this called Dorian.
Speaker 2 (30:21):
So Dorian, I tell you Peter.
Speaker 9 (30:24):
The first line in his official Wikipedia pages Dorian Trevor
Thompson Robinson, also known by his initials DTR.
Speaker 2 (30:32):
Scrub that Wikipedia, Somebody go get it and scrub and
get that.
Speaker 9 (30:36):
This guy's accomplished too much to not be known by
his proper name, Dorian Thompson Robbins.
Speaker 2 (30:40):
Think it's a beautiful name and it's majestic. I'm going
to give you another one here.
Speaker 3 (30:43):
I've covered the NFL a long time, so be like,
Matthew Stafford does not respond to matt like if you
call him Matt Stafford like, he doesn't like it.
Speaker 2 (30:51):
My name is Matthew, so I say stand on it.
Speaker 3 (30:54):
It's your name, and you can correct people if.
Speaker 2 (30:57):
They just call you DTR.
Speaker 7 (30:58):
In the future, for sure, I'll take you. I got, dude.
Speaker 3 (31:03):
Thank you for joining us, and thank you for all
the work you're doing not only with the flag football
but also in the.
Speaker 2 (31:09):
Chests community bringing it to the next generation. I think
that's really cool.
Speaker 7 (31:13):
I appreciate you guys.
Speaker 2 (31:14):
Thank you guys are having the great DTR. I'm sorry
