Speaker 2 (00:22):
Good Morning Football.
Speaker 3 (00:25):
That's right, this is Good Morning Football. Welcome inside, everybody.
We're live in La New York and New Orleans this morning.
It's Wednesday, February fifth. I'm Jamie Arnal. Here is Akmar
bad Shabia Milla. There's Peter Schrager. There is Kyle Brant.
What's happening, everybody. Wonderful to see you. We're here, Rags.
I'm like a mama bird checking in on everybody that's
(00:46):
outside the nest. Right now, what are you up to
recently in New Orleans?
Speaker 4 (00:49):
What did you get into last night?
Speaker 5 (00:50):
Okay, so last night the American Cancer Society and the
NFL's Crucial Catch hosted a dinner at a collaboration of Rayos,
the famous Italian restaurant in New York City, Feedee Pizza
in Brooklyn and then in New Orleans, and they gave
out their Man of the Year award to c J.
Ham for all his service he does an incredible event.
Speaker 6 (01:13):
CJ.
Speaker 5 (01:13):
Ham, of course, friend of the show Vikings player to
vote so much of his time to Crucial Catch, which
we're part of here at NFL Network, and of course
the NFL Roger Goodell was in attendance. Archie Manning was
in attendance. Congratulations to obviously CJ. Ham, but also the
work that the NFL does with the American Cancer Society.
Speaker 6 (01:31):
A beautiful night, and you're gonna have to roll me
out of here. I'll see you guys later.
Speaker 5 (01:35):
Because I am still just feeling that delicious meetball from

the chef.
Speaker 6 (01:42):

Speaker 6 (01:54):
Ham.
Speaker 4 (01:54):
That's really really cool.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
Let's take you elsewhere in New Orleans. Cam Wolf and
Stacy Dale's are on site. Good morning to you both
as we start with the Kansas City Chief Conversation. Cam,
as you are situated, I'm sure nearby where the team
will be speaking today, what have you learned from this
team as they continue to prepare for yet another Super
Bowl appearance.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
Good morning.
Speaker 7 (02:16):
First of all, Jamie here in the chief press conference room.
We'll hear from Andy Reid Patrick Mahomes a little bit
later this morning.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
They will practice this afternoon.
Speaker 7 (02:26):
They practice at Tulane University yesterday, starting their practice week.
But there's been this label this year about the Chiefs
in the Super Bowl, about them being villains. There's been
a lot of social media wild craze about the referees
and the Chiefs, all these different things. Patrick Mahomes talked
about it and talked about the idea of them being themselves.
But I think he kind of likes that villain there
(02:47):
right narrative. I think he embraces the fact that people
are rooting against him. He thrives through being doubted, through
the competition. And a couple of cool stories I'll share
with you. I was talking with Kareem Hunt yesterday at
his podium. He talked about Patrick mahoonmes being the most
competitive person he knows. He said, whether in the practice field,
in the games. He said, heck top golf. He said,
we play top golf, and he will destroy me. He said,
(03:09):
he will hit the ball over the net, he will
hit it in the target.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
And I asked him, does he ever like give you
a break? Or a tip.
Speaker 7 (03:15):
He's like, he'll give me a tip, but he never
lets me win. That is just the way he functions. Also,
Matt Naggy, the Chiefs offensive coordinator, I talked to him
after their AFC Championship.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
Win about Patrick Mahomes.
Speaker 7 (03:26):
He said, for four years, Patrick Mahomes has been texting
him high school, in college tape of him running the ball.
He said, he wants to run the football. He wants
to prove that he can run the football, he said.
Patrick Mahomes tells him about his boosties all the time.
He's like, I got boosties.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
I can move.
Speaker 7 (03:43):
And as you're seeing here on this Texas Tech tape,
these are some of the tapes. So send them, send
them scrambling tapes, send them running tapes. Put the runs
in the playbook. And that's one thing I'm keeping an
eye on as we look into Super Bowl Sunday.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
How much of a factor are Patrick.
Speaker 7 (03:57):
Mahomes legs he runs a sc scrambler three times as
often in the playoffs as he doesn't regular season. It
was a factor versus the Bill as he ran in
that touchdown there. The Philadelphia Eagles are certainly prepping for
him as a thrower.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
The Chiefs may unleash him Sunday as a runner.
Speaker 8 (04:16):
Yeah, Kim, I'm going to keep it with the quarterbacks.
We know Jalen Hurts can run the football. He's done
that very well through his career. But the disrespect you guys,
come on, it has been real this season. They've completely
changed their offense under Kellen Moore. Why wouldn't you with
Saquon Barkley. Quarterbacks are often measured by their Super Bowl victories,
and that would put Patrick Mahomes in the conversation for
(04:38):
Hall of Famer. But I just want to point something
out here with this graphic we're about to flash on
the screen right here. This is just a little comparison
of these two quarterbacks in the playoffs. Patrick Mahomes Jalen Hurts.
It's not one verse one, but they're going to each
face very good defenses, respectively. But look at the jump
(04:58):
in passing yards for Jalen Hurts right the rush yards
we knew would come, but seven total touchdown. Both of
them take care of the football. That completion percentage for
Jalen Hurts right around seventy percent.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
He got aj Brown.
Speaker 8 (05:13):
Going in the NFC Championship Game after that game, AJ
Brown told me that he's simply a warrior.
Speaker 4 (05:19):
But one thing I.
Speaker 8 (05:20):
Will tell you about Patrick excuse me, Jalen Hurts, you
guys having covered him as we again see that graphic
and just how those pass yards have jumped.
Speaker 4 (05:29):
He finds ways to win.
Speaker 8 (05:31):
And that's what we know of Jalen Hurts and his
stoic nature. That is exactly what his right tackle All
Pro right tackle Lane Johnson told me after the NFC Championship.
The one word you would use to describe him as stoic,
but his ability to strike through the air or run
that game plan through Saquon Barkley, whom they have been
(05:51):
riding not just through the playoffs but this entire season.
And by the way, he is getting stronger as the
season goes on, it's really impressive. I spoke with head
coach Nick Sirianni about his quarterback, Jalen Hurts, and I
asked him this week, what's most impressive thing to you
about his preparation? And I know it sounds basic, but
he said, it's his consistency. He literally is the same
(06:12):
guy every single day. When I mentioned that Super Bowl
fifty seven, Jalen Hurts said over and over, keep the
main thing, the main thing. I'm not hearing that this year.
Maybe he's said it at some point, but Jamie, it
feels like he has been in this position multiple times
through multiple years.
Speaker 4 (06:28):
Allah.
Speaker 8 (06:29):
Patrick Mahomes, he is built for this. His consistency is
really impressive. His calmness and steadiness is impressive. And this
team falls on that energy and that calmness, and they
have been very business like in their approach this week.
Speaker 4 (06:43):
Stacy, it's spot on.
Speaker 3 (06:44):
The playoff experience is vast for both of these quarterbacks. Cannon, Stacy,
thank you so much. But the winning goes to Patrick Mahomes.
The Lombardes go to Patrick Mahomes. So far, what can
Jalen Hurts do about that this week and remains to
be seen, And a lot of it has to do
with what the head coaches draw up. Andy Reid has
been here before, He's won here before. Nick Sirianni impressing
(07:06):
many by becoming just the third head coach to ever
reach multiple Super Bowls in his first four seasons. Now,
they both spoke yesterday, these head coaches about what the
main focus is with these groups heading into this weekend.
Speaker 9 (07:20):
We try to work hard. I mean, I keep it
that simple. You really know that it's about the game,
and all this other stuff doesn't necessarily matter. It matters
to people and the entertainment part of the business. But
without the guys focusing on the game, or the coaches
or myself in that same boat there, that you lose
(07:45):
track of what this thing's all about. You can get
really caught up in all this and you can't get
too far from what's real, and that's playing the game.
Speaker 10 (07:55):
We're going to look to win any way we can.
I've never doubted our passing game with the people that
we have there, with the coaches that we have there,
with the players that we have there. So you know,
there have been games that have been dictated differently this year.
If we need to run it fifty times and pass
it once, we will to win. If we need to
do a vice versa, we will. And we really don't
(08:17):
care what anybody else thinks. Our job is to win
games and try to win games the best way we
can for our team. And like I said, just because
the Adjaylen said it and I loved it, just because
we haven't done something doesn't mean we can't.
Speaker 3 (08:30):
Oh versatility in a winning at all cost mentality. That's
what Nick Sirianni and the Eagles are looking to accomplish
this weekend against the Chiefs, playing for the second time
in three years in the Super Bowl. Peter, I go
to you first, and then we'll hear from everybody. Fill
in the blank.
Speaker 4 (08:45):
Please.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
If the Eagles do fill in the blank, they will
be Super Bowl fifty nine champions.
Speaker 4 (08:51):
Peter.
Speaker 5 (08:52):
Okay, there's countless cliches and football talk about establishing the run.
I think has to be more than establishing the run.
I think the Eagles need to run all over the
Kansas City Chiefs, and Tequon needs to be the exact
same guy that he has been this entire playoff run.
If Saquon gets going and has one of these type
(09:13):
of games, they can beat the Chiefs.
Speaker 6 (09:15):
In fact, they will beat the Chiefs.
Speaker 5 (09:17):
Taik Kwon Barkley has been an absolute legend this season,
and his playoff performances have been perfectly fitting for a
regular season that was historic. He has gashed the Rams,
the Commanders, and of course in the wildcard round, got
it going when.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
They had to win that game as well.
Speaker 5 (09:36):
I'll say this about the prospect of him.
Speaker 6 (09:39):
Doing this stuff.
Speaker 5 (09:40):
Kyle brought this up last week and it shocked me.
It was one of the stats that I said, WHOA,
The Spagnolo's defenses don't allow teams to run the ball.
If you look at the most rushing yards versus the
Chiefs in the playoffs since twenty nineteen, that is a
good six year span. No one has broken the century mark.
(10:02):
Not a single player here saying Saquon can go for
one fifty one, seventy five, two hundred, because that's just
what he does. That's insulting to that defense and the
Chiefs commitment to stopping the run. I know, Mahomes and
Kelsey is sexy.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
To talk about.
Speaker 5 (10:19):
I know for years it was about Tyreek Hill, and
I know in the last couple of years it's been like, Wow,
the Chiefs just always find a way on offense. The
real story of the twenty twenty five Chiefs has been
their defense. Eight sacks against the Texans, stopping Josh Allen
and James Cook when it mattered most last time in
their game in the AFC Championship Game, and now it's
(10:39):
going to be stopping Saquon. Sae Quon's that dude. He
has been going absolutely wild this season. No one's been
really able to contain him. One defense might be able to.
It's the Kansas City Chiefs.
Speaker 6 (10:50):
I love that full screen and I love this Spagnolo stat.
Speaker 11 (10:52):
If there was any little crack in it, it would
just be that two of those top five you showed
Peter are from this season this postseason. So if anyone
was going to break through, maybe it is this year,
and maybe it Saquon, who I think is the greatest
weapon offensive weapon that the Chiefs defense have faced in
the Mahomes era. And you could have all of those guys, McCaffrey, Debo,
(11:15):
Mike Evans, anybody you want in a Super Bowl. I
think the Saquon is the number one weapon that they
have faced.
Speaker 6 (11:20):
How do you beat the Chiefs.
Speaker 11 (11:22):
It's it's extremely difficult, but it's actually very simple. The
Eagles will win if they don't make any mistakes. You
can't make any mistakes, and never mind the officiat that's
a different deal I'm talking about. You can't miss an
extra point, you can't miss the two point conversion, you
can't get stopped on fourth and short, you can't have
the big dumb turnover. We saw what the Bills did
remember the Texans a couple of rounds ago.
Speaker 6 (11:42):
We're having all these kicking issues.
Speaker 11 (11:43):
Last time the Chiefs saw the Eagles in the Super Bowl,
they made a huge mistake on the scoop and score fumble. Guys,
let's just look at the last Super Bowl that they
played against the Niners. The Niners missed an extra point.
They got it blocked. You can't do this against the Chiefs.
This would have made it a four point lead. They
blocked the extra You cannot do that against the Chiefs.
Speaker 6 (12:02):
You can't make that play. You're gonna lose Another thing.
Speaker 11 (12:05):
Earlier in this game, opening drive, Christian McCaffrey fumble opening
drive of the game. It was Christian McCaffrey's first lost
fumble in three months.
Speaker 6 (12:13):
You can't do this against the Chiefs. And you might say, oh,
the Chiefs fumble the Chiefs, they're the Chiefs. They can
do it. You can't. They can make mistakes and get
over it. You can't.
Speaker 11 (12:25):
She can't make these mistakes. McCaffrey was not a fumbler.
Plays the Chiefs, he fumbles, he loses.
Speaker 6 (12:30):
That, they lose the game. And I'm calling it over
the last couple of years, I'm calling it the errors Tour.
Here are the mess ups over the last couple of years.
Speaker 11 (12:38):
All right, this year's playoffs, last year's playoffs. Teams are
missing two pointers, They're losing fumbles, five miss kicks, eleven
drop passes.
Speaker 6 (12:48):
Those are all losses, all losses. You don't have to
play a perfect game.
Speaker 11 (12:53):
You can have incomplete passes, you can have runs that
don't go well, you can get sacked.
Speaker 6 (12:58):
You can't make the big miss. You can't even make one.
Ask the Eagles ask Jalen Hurts play the game of
his life.
Speaker 11 (13:03):
One mistake, see later, get out of our confetti. You
can't make mistakes against the Chiefs.
Speaker 6 (13:09):
That's it. Don't do it, You'll win, do it? See
you later.
Speaker 12 (13:11):
Man.
Speaker 13 (13:12):
You're like, you're like batman, man. You got all the
cool toys. You've got all the cool toys. But I
think jokers said that. I don't know who said it,
but you know, the feed too of this offense is
something that is very problematic of the Kansas City Chiefs offense.
And I think if the Eagles are going to win
this game, they're literally going to have to contain mister
(13:32):
Patrick Mahomes and not just contain Patrick Mahomes. They're also
going to have to neutralize the quick passing game, because
I think that's what gets this team going.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
They are so good when.
Speaker 13 (13:41):
You talk about contained because you think about what they
did during the regular season and being able to convert
the third down literally almost fifty percent they're converting on
third downs and they are sustaining drives, and that's what
they do well. Like there isn't you know, you can
start looking at the measurables. When I just think about
Patrick Mahomes and his ability to keep stretching. I think
back even to the first game, excuse me, the last
(14:03):
game against the Ufflot Bills, and I look at how
he was able to convert but also to get the
ball out of their real quick and that's something they
do well. And so if the Eagles are going to
have a chance, they got to get those big dudes
up front Jayley Carter and they're not necessarily going to
try to win the one on one pass rush. Is
being able to get up real quick and get your
hands up, get your hands up because the ball is
(14:24):
coming out really really quick.
Speaker 6 (14:26):
And again, the Buffalo Bills, they struggle in that opening.
Speaker 13 (14:28):
Drive just to be able to stop Patrick Mahomes.
Speaker 6 (14:30):
And his ability.
Speaker 13 (14:31):
He's getting that ball out of there less than three seconds.
It's coming out fast and hot. So I say keep
the contained lane, the rush lanes, making sure that you
guys keep them contained, and then getting the hands up
so you can stop him from making those quick passes.
Speaker 4 (14:44):
It's so true.
Speaker 3 (14:44):
Remember that thing I said to you after the Bills
game against the Chiefs, and it was like the Patrick
Mahomes just moves the ball from the forty to the
forty faster and easier than anybody else can. He doesn't
get stopped, and all of a sudden he's in field
goal range in.
Speaker 4 (14:55):
The red zone and it's a disaster.
Speaker 3 (14:57):
Peter, quick question for you before we go to break.
Are you hearing of a major onslought of Chiefs fan
AND's famous Chiefs fans whatever? Because they want to witness history?
Is there because there could be oh we've been there,
we've seen Super Bowls, But there's also a need that
people want to be in the building to watch this
thing go down this weekend potentially.
Speaker 4 (15:16):
What are you hearing about who's coming?
Speaker 5 (15:18):
Yeah, I think it's it's going to be the usual.
Arsenal will find their way there. Now here's the interesting
thing we've talked about. Paul Rudd, the actor in the community.
He's currently in Australia filming Anaconda too with Jack Black.
I don't know, Kyle, if there's many direct flights from Brisbane,
Australia to New Orleans, but I'm sure Paul will find
a way here. We also had the announcement that our
(15:40):
president will be in the building and it'll be the
first sitting president to ever attend a Super Bowl live,
So we have a lot of things to look forward.
The Chiefs and the Eagles. You also have quite a
few attendees will be in the building. Oh and by
the way, Taylor Swift is probably in the house too.
Speaker 6 (15:55):
Mostly a lot of star par right there. That's going
to be a great game. I guess, Oh no, why.
Speaker 4 (15:59):
Wrought us to be in Australia for that?
Speaker 3 (16:00):
Can't you just film Anacona two down the Bayou and
New Orleans like that works too?
Speaker 6 (16:07):
Hurts by and shop in the backfield.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
He wants to run it.
Speaker 6 (16:09):
He put all the balls out, he kicks the ball.
Speaker 14 (16:11):
It's picked up by Kansas City. They're going to the
twenty to the town, to the fire Chuck stud Okay,
that Chuck score by okay air boat.
Speaker 3 (16:29):
Oh boy, what a memory for Nick Bolton in the
Kansas City Chiefs signed for a whiteboard Wednesday. You just
saw the game changing play made by twenty two back
in Super Bowl fifty seven. Kyle just so eloquently described
what you can't do against the Chiefs in a Super Bowl,
which is be a part of the errors tour. You
can't make a mistake otherwise it will be capitalized upon.
(16:49):
The game changer for Super Bowl fifty nine. Peter, if
you were to make a prediction, write it on your
whiteboard and have it go down in history so you
can prove everybody right on Monday, would.
Speaker 5 (16:59):
Be Okay, My whiteboard's hard because of the zoom thing,
so like I'm doing that, so it's crazy. So white
Court's kind of negligent with me.
Speaker 6 (17:07):
But I will give you a name, all right ready,
j A y l e N. Another Jalen. This one's
spelt j A y l e N.
Speaker 5 (17:15):
Last name Watson, Jalen Watsons Watson out of Washington State,
Kansas City Chiefs. Jalen Watson were number thirty five. You
don't hear his name a lot but they look at
him as an absolute dog. At the other side of
Trent McDuffie, Jalen Watson roll the footage if we got it,
I don't know if we do. But he's a chief
stud corner, one of these young defensive backfield players.
Speaker 6 (17:38):
Thank you, Jamie for a company me here.
Speaker 5 (17:41):
If you're outside of Kansas City, you probably don't know
the work that Watson does in that building. Speaking with Spags,
speaking with that defensive group on Monday Night's opening night,
his name kept on coming up.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
Absolute stud. It's mcduffy on one side, it's him on
the other. I think he's gonna make a play.
Speaker 5 (17:59):
He's gonna have to cover either DeVonta Smith or of
course a J.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
Brown, and he's gonna make a play.
Speaker 5 (18:04):
That is my game changer, the name that no one's talking.
Speaker 13 (18:06):
About, all right, and in the last Super Bowl, and
I love this pick too, for the you know, for
the for the Chiefs and for the Eagles game. The
last game we saw Super Bowl fifty seven, we saw
Bolt make that underfive of.
Speaker 6 (18:20):
That play was epic. I still see to my head.
Speaker 13 (18:23):
And it wasn't a name that we necessarily were hearing
all the time. And This is a name we haven't
really heard a lot, but he's coming back into the mix.
It's Hollywood Brown, and he's gonna be a Hollywood ending.
I really truly believe now that he's back and he's
comfortable in the mix. We saw in the Buffalo Bill's
game they started off hot with him coming out quick.
He's going to be the difference maker in this game.
(18:43):
And there's gonna be a lot of attention elsewhere. Of course,
we know, but one thing about Patrick Mahomes in this offense,
they like to distribute the ball everywhere, and I just
have this feeling when I look at the matchups and
I see everything in place. Kelsey's gonna be getting a
lot of attention. Look for Hollywood Brown to make a
big impact in this game.
Speaker 11 (19:03):
Hey, all right, we know Howie Roseman likes as Georgia guys,
and you know a couple of them, their names get
said a little bit more, maybe more so than this guy.
Speaker 6 (19:11):
Nolan Smith Junior number three.
Speaker 11 (19:13):
Guys for the Philadelphia Eagles. Four sacks in the playoffs,
not the season.
Speaker 6 (19:19):
In the playoffs. If the Eagles are.
Speaker 11 (19:21):
Going to win this game, someone needs to do a
Brandon Graham impression, but not on Brady.
Speaker 6 (19:27):
On Mahomes.
Speaker 11 (19:28):
Someone needs to make a play and swat that right
arm of Mahomes and get a fumble. Look at him,
he's all over the snow. He's been at Terry's, Oliver,
Jayden and Stafford. This is a guy who we look
up at the fourth quarter of this game where we're like,
oh my god, is Nolan Smith Junior gonna win the
MVP of this game? He has two sacks and a
force fumble. Somebody needs to make a play, and if
it's not gonna be in the sacred needs to be upfront.
(19:49):
We know Jalen Carter, we know some of the other
guys look for number three in the Eagles to make
a play. He's been doing it for the last month.
I like this guy's chances.
Speaker 4 (19:57):
I like your specifics. Kyle.
Speaker 3 (19:59):
You could have just said, like any Georgia bulldog on
the Eagles and you would have probably covered a lot
of bases, but you went Smith specifically number three.
Speaker 4 (20:06):
All right, I'm really.
Speaker 3 (20:06):
Proud of all the interviews that we have been conducting
this week, everybody coming on our show having a good time.
Speaker 4 (20:11):
Yesterday was no exception.
Speaker 3 (20:13):
Kirk Cousins, the quarterback in Atlanta couldn't hide his passion
for one of the great bands of the nineties.
Speaker 4 (20:20):
Take a listen.
Speaker 6 (20:22):
I just had a friend who stayed at our house.
Speaker 15 (20:24):
As a thank you gift, they did like a crochet
of the Creed lyrics welcome to this place. I'll show
you everything. It was like that, I'm supposed to like
hang over my entry door to my house. So this
Creed thing, largely thanks to you, has just exploded to
where I'm getting gifts from people. It looked like my
(20:46):
grandma crocheted something that have Creed lyrics on them.
Speaker 3 (20:51):
And there is nothing that that place belongs more than
a guest room in the cousin's household. Look at a
Kyle you were sent the photographic evidence.
Speaker 6 (20:59):
Yeah, it's it almost he would think it was scripture
or something.
Speaker 11 (21:02):
It's like stap like it is just a beautiful, beautiful.
Speaker 6 (21:07):
Sewing and needle point and whatever the hell's and he's got.
Speaker 11 (21:09):
On his wall on Ironically, no apologies is pretty cool.
Speaker 4 (21:12):
That's very intricate and well done.
Speaker 3 (21:14):
Somebody that sadly does do some crochet and some prostage.
Speaker 4 (21:16):
Sometimes I can tell you.
Speaker 3 (21:17):
That that I can I do, which leads to us
to this question, not to that put to nineties bands comparisons,
because that's what we do here on a Wednesday.
Speaker 4 (21:26):
In the second segment of our show.
Speaker 3 (21:28):
What nineties bann best describes the Eagles or the Chiefs?
Speaker 5 (21:33):
Peter, Okay, Mine and Kyle. By the way, the fact
that you have created this Kirk Cousin's creed subreddit community
is truly a gift and why Good Morning Football should
be on air for eternity.
Speaker 6 (21:43):
That's all I'm saying.
Speaker 5 (21:44):
Second of all, I look at the Chiefs, and I
look at Kelsey and Mahomes, and when they first got
together in twenty seventeen and the first really started playing
in twenty eighteen, they were still finding themselves, and then
twenty nineteen on it has been hit after hit after
hit after hit. They have defined our generation. They've also grown.
I say, boys to men are Kelsey and Mahomes. You
(22:07):
talk about the nineties, and you think about it started
with Motown Philly, so you had just a little taste
of it in ninety one, and then in ninety two
they come out end of the road and then it's
all make love to you. It's one sweet day. It's
of course on bended knee. I mean, there's just hit
after hit after hit. I look at these guys and
the irony is I went Kansas City Chiefs for Boys
to Men, not Philadelphia. This is Michael Philadelphia roots. I
(22:32):
just think about the group. The group of a generation
for me in the nineties was Boys to Men and
they spanned the entire decade. Then the team of a
generation for this current era are these guys.
Speaker 6 (22:43):
So that is it.
Speaker 5 (22:45):
Of course, we can go a million different directions with
which Boys to Men's song best describes the Kansas City chase.
But I'll let that up to you guys, and hopefully
it's not end of the road.
Speaker 6 (22:54):
Oh hey, all right, don't.
Speaker 13 (22:58):
We don't want it to be there in the road.
We'll see, all right. That was a really good one.
I've got one. This one is rooted in New York.
But one of the best bands when it comes to lyrics.
Public Enemy, Public Enemy. They were a conscientious rap group
in the nineties. I think you see Chuck d their flavor,
flav a lot of flavor in this game. But I'm
(23:19):
going the Eagles Public Enemy, And we've heard a lot
of conversation about the Kansas City Chiefs being the villains. Well,
here's public enemy number one, the Philadelphia Eagles, and they
coming in and I think of this group, I think
one of their hits is, don't believe the hype. There
is a lot of hype about the Three pede and
(23:39):
everything going on with the Kansas City Chiefs. I do
know that if the Kansas City Chiefs are responding, they're
probably going to say, you know what, You're gonna have
to fight the power that be, and that is the
Kansas City Chiefs. But the Eagles public enemy number one
against the very very hyped Kansas City Chiefs.
Speaker 11 (23:55):
Yeah, for some fans, there's a fear of the Chiefs
planet like just completely taking over. Peter, I'm still blown
away by boys to men. I mean, I'll make love
to you like you want me to. I mean as
boys the gentleman. You know, that's considerately. I really appreciate
those lyrics. All right, So nineties bands, this is a
little bit of a stretch for me. I don't know
much about the topic, but I'll try anyway. The Chiefs
(24:18):
you have to when you continually lose to them and
they win the Super Bowl every single year, every single year.
Speaker 6 (24:23):
You have to maintain your faith. You have to keep
your faith. And then when they lose, you know, you lose.
Every single year the Chiefs say, no, no, no faith,
no more. My friends, it is gone faith no more.
Speaker 11 (24:38):
And you know what, They show up in the Super
Bowl and they go look at their opponent and they say,
you want it all, but you can't have it. But
but that's what they say every single year. There is
no more faith. It's always gonna be us. You want
it all, the ring and the Lombardy, but you can't
(24:59):
have it epic, the track and the team.
Speaker 6 (25:01):
Faith no more, the Chiefs.
Speaker 4 (25:03):
Can we get that more time out of you?
Speaker 6 (25:05):
Kyle? Do it? I can't do it.
Speaker 11 (25:09):
There'll be litigation allegedly, although I've been told that for
nine years and there never has been anything whatsoever.
Speaker 6 (25:14):
But so let's just move on.
Speaker 3 (25:15):
Yes, fine, all right, let's move on to something that
we can mimic because we love Scott Hanson and we
will not get sued. Our favorite Red Zone Channel host,
Scott Hansen, was having an absolute ball hosting opening night.
Take a listen, walk down Memory Lane.
Speaker 16 (25:31):
And here it is, ladies and gentlemen, the Vince Lombardi Trophy,
the greatest prize in American sports, seven pounds of career,
defining Tiffany's sterling silver. Either the Eagles or the Chiefs
will hoist this on Sunday.
Speaker 3 (25:50):
All right, there, it is Tiffany silver. This leads us
to our next question on whiteboard Wednesday, our final one.
What is an everyday occurrence or daily activity that you
would like to hear? Scott hands it's in near rate, Peter.
Speaker 4 (26:06):
How can I help you out here?
Speaker 6 (26:07):
Bud?
Speaker 5 (26:08):
First of all, I want to shout out Scott Hanson.
Speaker 6 (26:09):
I always say it.
Speaker 5 (26:10):
He's the face of NFL media. He's the face of
a lot of things, and he's also the face of.
Speaker 6 (26:15):
The Lombardi Trophy.
Speaker 5 (26:16):
For me, now that introduction that he does, it is
more so, it is so serious in earnest.
Speaker 6 (26:22):
That's what I love about it.
Speaker 5 (26:23):
Scott really means it like he gets up for the
event and he loves and treasures at Lombardy. While other
NFL legends are saying we should change the name of
the Lombardi Belichick, are you serious with that? Scotty is like, no,
the Lombardy it is just classic and it is seven
pounds of starving anyway, everyday occurrence. I want Scott Hanton
to read me the CBS Sunday Night lineup, you know,
(26:46):
and we hear it from Nance, we hear it from Romot.
Speaker 6 (26:48):
I want ladies and gentlemen. At eight o'clock. We have Tracker.
Speaker 5 (26:54):
At the clock, we have the great Morris Chestnut and
Whatson at ten o'clock.
Speaker 6 (27:02):
We have a very creative programming choice.
Speaker 11 (27:05):
We are reairing Tracker and.
Speaker 5 (27:09):
Tomorrow Kathy Bates, you remember her from such films as Misery.
We'll be in matt Low, not Hanson. Just read me
that Sunday Night promo. I would love to hear it CBS.
Speaker 4 (27:26):
And everyone except.
Speaker 3 (27:28):
For our West Coast viewers will enjoy sixty minutes after
the game.
Speaker 11 (27:31):
Yes, yeah, I actually I actually have a newspaper right
here and have had like this is this is the
TV list themes in the New York Post, which they
still do over here, and Hanson would just say, okay,
seven pm on AMC Casino, Robert de Niro Sharon Stone.
Speaker 6 (27:49):
In Las Vegas.
Speaker 11 (27:50):
Two best friends compete for a gambling empire and a
fast living, fast loving socialite.
Speaker 6 (27:56):
It's just so good. The whole paper. You could read
what's on TVs today?
Speaker 5 (28:02):

daily basis, and feel like a high.
Speaker 6 (28:29):
Speed chase on Los Angeles? And how far would that be?
You know how it is when chase. This would be great.
Speaker 13 (28:35):
To see Scott Hansen do on one of these.
Speaker 12 (28:38):
Here we go, we take you to Los Angeles. There
it is. You see the silver Tesla driving down Figaroa.
He's making a left onto the four oh five side

Speaker 6 (29:29):
Oh and the purpose on foot the purpose.
Speaker 11 (29:33):
Oh, he is taken down by the cane ie then
cuffed and stopped. Incredible. Wow, all right, I got my
own thing. So you guys, I don't even have one
written down. You will not believe what happened to me
a couple of weeks ago is.
Speaker 6 (29:47):
The true story.
Speaker 11 (29:48):
I am on the train with my wife on the
Metro North train line going into the city. I'm sitting
around the very strouded crane train and I get my
phone starts buzzing and it is a FaceTime from Scott Hansen,
and I'm like, you know, I love you. I'm on
a train, there's people right next to me.
Speaker 6 (30:06):
I can't answer the FaceTime right now.
Speaker 11 (30:08):
I get the immediate follow up text, Hey, face time
me if you have two seconds, bud, And I was like,
all right, what the hell is this going to be?
I FaceTime Scott Hanson on the train and I'm kind
of covering it up and turning the volume down because
Scott's pretty loud on FaceTime, and you know, so I
get this guy and he's in this like outdoor bar
in LA and he's just like, you won't believe who.
Speaker 6 (30:29):
I'm with, and I go, all right, who you with?
It's it was unbelievable.
Speaker 11 (30:34):
The guy next to him is my buddy Gins, this
lifelong friend of mine. I was like, Gins, what are
you doing with Hanson's I don't know?
Speaker 6 (30:39):
And then he's like, that's not all.
Speaker 11 (30:41):
The next person was Johnny Bananas from the Challenges, and
I'm facetiming with Johnny Bananas on the plane and.
Speaker 6 (30:47):
The training he goes and that's not all.
Speaker 11 (30:49):
And next was like one of the members of System
of a Down was sitting around a fire with Bananas
and my buddy Gins and Hanson, and Hanson's passing me
the phone to all of these people, most of which
I don't know.
Speaker 6 (31:01):
I'm gonna chain like, hey, yeah, I love the chap Suey.
I didn't know what to say, and he's like, I'll
see you later.
Speaker 11 (31:07):
Brother had to check in, and I was like, Hanson,
how far in the bag are you?
Speaker 6 (31:11):
Right now? What is going on? And I gotta go.
This happened like two weeks ago.
Speaker 11 (31:15):
I think it was actually made me last week so
it was so fun, so exciting, but crazy.
Speaker 6 (31:19):
And then Tech text me, I just had to hit
you up. I was with your boys. I was like, oh, Joes,
aren't my boys?
Speaker 2 (31:25):
What was that?
Speaker 6 (31:27):
What was that? Peter? This just happened. It is a
real story. What did Johnny Balla said you?
Speaker 9 (31:31):
I love that.
Speaker 11 (31:32):
He's like, hey, Kyle, you were in the real world
twenty years ago and I met you, Like, we're not friends.
I love the guy, but it was just crazy, just
stuck it in his face.
Speaker 6 (31:40):
It was amazing, Kyle.
Speaker 3 (31:42):
That's the kind of stuff that you get into the
one weekend before but when there's no football being played,
so like everybody was like kind of watching the Pro Bowl,
like we were all just waiting for the Super Bowl
to bubblo service. And that's what Scott Hansen does in
the Los Angeles metro area.
Speaker 4 (31:55):
He goes out, he makes friends, and then he facetimes you. Kyle.
Speaker 3 (31:58):
I can't believe you didn't pick up the first time
for Scott Hansen. I actually thought if anybody, if I
had the power rank phone calls facetimes, that you would answer.
Speaker 4 (32:06):
Scott Hanson would be up there.
Speaker 11 (32:08):
Yeah, I would have thought any other time, but then
I started talking to him. You know, the conductor starts
kind of sir, could you turn the phone off? I sorry,
I'm on the phone with a guy who played bass
and Ariels I got Hanson wants me to talk to
him and the guy who got backpacked by CT do
you want to talk to it?
Speaker 6 (32:22):
It was crazy, it was an unbelievable setting.
Speaker 5 (32:25):
Productor leans over and it's like, wait a second, that
the red zone guy.
Speaker 3 (32:28):
Yes it is yes, free ticket train ticket for everybody.
Speaker 4 (32:34):
Well done.
Speaker 6 (32:36):
All right, welcome back to Good Morning Football.
Speaker 11 (32:38):
This is my Norman rockwell Man stands up in town
hall opinion meme moments and it started organically here, but
I just want to get something off my chest. Last
week on the show, we were interviewing Ernest Biner. Now
you might remember him from Cleveland, but you should also
remember him from Washington, where he went on to win
a Super Bowl. And in the middle of our interview
with Ernest Biner, he organically held up his Super Bowl
(33:01):
ring for us to see, a ring that he says
he wears all the time.
Speaker 6 (33:07):
And it struck me.
Speaker 11 (33:08):
You just don't hear players say that that they wear
their ring all the time, because modern players don't do
that because they can't do that, because I believe super
Bowl rings need a reset. I believe they've lost their way.
I propose a return to normalcy for super Bowl rings,
(33:29):
where these symbols of excellence return from being ostentatious, oversized
mansions of diamonds to championship rings like they used to be.
The Hall of Famers gold jacket is timeless, the Lombardi
Trophy is timeless. The super Bowl rings are caught up
(33:50):
in a one upmanship and designed more for Instagram than
for a human hand. Just as a level said, look
at the very first super Bowl ring.
Speaker 6 (34:01):
Ever, it was actually a ring.
Speaker 11 (34:04):
You got the team name, you got the year, world champions,
and a simple stone in the middle. Elegant, tasteful, perfect,
And the rings that followed in that era were equally classic.
They said I am a super Bowl champ. They did
not scream it. Those are rings that you could pass down,
(34:28):
that your grandson could wear in your honor someday. They're
a ring that you could put on your bedside table
at night, not in your safe all year. So when
did it change, Well, you might not be surprised. When
did the super Bowl ring arms race begin? When the
Cowboys starting wining them the nineties. In fact, Nate Newton
(34:49):
even said at the time that by the time the
Cowboys won their third ring, everybody on the team tried
to order a size bigger than they needed, just to
make sure that they were huge and that the owners
of the rings became just as top about as the
rings themselves. So Michael Strahan, after winning his ring famously
(35:10):
with the Giants, told David Letterman that they wanted a
ten table ring, ten table ring which could be seen
in a restaurant from ten tables away. Now it's a
very funny quote, and I love Strahan, but stray, honestly,
do you really want more people looking at you in
a restaurant? At this point they already are, And if
you're a Super Bowl champ in New York, they already know.
(35:33):
Any man who has to say I am the King
is no king. But I do understand you are proud
of being a champion, all of the champions, and you
want people to know about it.
Speaker 6 (35:42):
You want to show it off. So wouldn't you want
a ring that you could actually wear to a man?
Speaker 11 (35:48):
Every modern Super Bowl champ that we get to talk
to here says the same thing about.
Speaker 6 (35:52):
Their ring that they only wear it once or.
Speaker 11 (35:55):
Twice a year, because basically it's ridiculous and impractical. I
used to see Jerry Kramer and Rocky Blyer during super
Bowl week wearing their ring, which they'd wear all the
time like gentlemen, and they'd wear it all the time
because they could, because it didn't look like those that's
not so much sometimes you see these modern guys.
Speaker 6 (36:14):
It's not so much a.
Speaker 11 (36:15):
Man wearing a ring as it is a ring wearing
a man. It reminds me of Rose and the Heart
of the Ocean. It's this very, very large, kind of tasteless,
over the top diamond she's got there that Rose openly
admits later it was a dreadful, heavy thing.
Speaker 6 (36:35):
I only wore it this once.
Speaker 11 (36:38):
And now we've entered an era where it feels like
super Bowl rings were designed by exhibit. We got rings
with secret compartments and play calls and hidden messages. It's
become pimped my ring every single year. I think the
rings need a reset, the bubble needs to burst. And
I know athletes love superheroes. I do too, so I
(36:59):
will put it in these terms. Here's what needs.
Speaker 18 (37:02):
To happen bit down, lean, bold, linear cool, and I
love and respect all of the men and women with
super Bowl rings.
Speaker 6 (37:13):
I would love to see them wear them more often.
Speaker 11 (37:16):
We don't need to completely strip them down to yesteryear.
Not everything has to be a sixty three Corvette, but
super Bowl rings are too special to be cyber trucks.
Speaker 6 (37:28):
That's my opinion.
Speaker 2 (37:30):
I'm sticking to it.
Good Morning Football is the production of the NFL in
partnership with iHeartRadio.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
Good Morning Football.
Speaker 3 (00:25):
That's right, this is Good Morning Football. Welcome inside, everybody.
We're live in La New York and New Orleans this morning.
It's Wednesday, February fifth. I'm Jamie Arnal. Here is Akmar
bad Shabia Milla. There's Peter Schrager. There is Kyle Brant.
What's happening, everybody. Wonderful to see you. We're here, Rags.
I'm like a mama bird checking in on everybody that's
(00:46):
outside the nest. Right now, what are you up to
recently in New Orleans?
Speaker 4 (00:49):
What did you get into last night?
Speaker 5 (00:50):
Okay, so last night the American Cancer Society and the
NFL's Crucial Catch hosted a dinner at a collaboration of Rayos,
the famous Italian restaurant in New York City, Feedee Pizza
in Brooklyn and then in New Orleans, and they gave
out their Man of the Year award to c J.
Ham for all his service he does an incredible event.
Speaker 6 (01:13):
CJ.
Speaker 5 (01:13):
Ham, of course, friend of the show Vikings player to
vote so much of his time to Crucial Catch, which
we're part of here at NFL Network, and of course
the NFL Roger Goodell was in attendance. Archie Manning was
in attendance. Congratulations to obviously CJ. Ham, but also the
work that the NFL does with the American Cancer Society.
Speaker 6 (01:31):
A beautiful night, and you're gonna have to roll me
out of here. I'll see you guys later.
Speaker 5 (01:35):
Because I am still just feeling that delicious meetball from
the chef whose name is No No, the chef Dino,
the chef.
Speaker 6 (01:42):
I was like, thank you, I appreciate it all. Peter,
I mean the guys name is Ham. I mean it's everywhere, Peter,
what a night you had.
Speaker 4 (01:50):
It's perfect, Peter.
Speaker 6 (01:50):
We're proud of you.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
A way to represent And again, like Peter said, congratulations
a CJ.
Speaker 6 (01:54):
Ham.
Speaker 4 (01:54):
That's really really cool.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
Let's take you elsewhere in New Orleans. Cam Wolf and
Stacy Dale's are on site. Good morning to you both
as we start with the Kansas City Chief Conversation. Cam,
as you are situated, I'm sure nearby where the team
will be speaking today, what have you learned from this
team as they continue to prepare for yet another Super
Bowl appearance.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
Good morning.
Speaker 7 (02:16):
First of all, Jamie here in the chief press conference room.
We'll hear from Andy Reid Patrick Mahomes a little bit
later this morning.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
They will practice this afternoon.
Speaker 7 (02:26):
They practice at Tulane University yesterday, starting their practice week.
But there's been this label this year about the Chiefs
in the Super Bowl, about them being villains. There's been
a lot of social media wild craze about the referees
and the Chiefs, all these different things. Patrick Mahomes talked
about it and talked about the idea of them being themselves.
But I think he kind of likes that villain there
(02:47):
right narrative. I think he embraces the fact that people
are rooting against him. He thrives through being doubted, through
the competition. And a couple of cool stories I'll share
with you. I was talking with Kareem Hunt yesterday at
his podium. He talked about Patrick mahoonmes being the most
competitive person he knows. He said, whether in the practice field,
in the games. He said, heck top golf. He said,
we play top golf, and he will destroy me. He said,
(03:09):
he will hit the ball over the net, he will
hit it in the target.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
And I asked him, does he ever like give you
a break? Or a tip.
Speaker 7 (03:15):
He's like, he'll give me a tip, but he never
lets me win. That is just the way he functions. Also,
Matt Naggy, the Chiefs offensive coordinator, I talked to him
after their AFC Championship.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
Win about Patrick Mahomes.
Speaker 7 (03:26):
He said, for four years, Patrick Mahomes has been texting
him high school, in college tape of him running the ball.
He said, he wants to run the football. He wants
to prove that he can run the football, he said.
Patrick Mahomes tells him about his boosties all the time.
He's like, I got boosties.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
I can move.
Speaker 7 (03:43):
And as you're seeing here on this Texas Tech tape,
these are some of the tapes. So send them, send
them scrambling tapes, send them running tapes. Put the runs
in the playbook. And that's one thing I'm keeping an
eye on as we look into Super Bowl Sunday.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
How much of a factor are Patrick.
Speaker 7 (03:57):
Mahomes legs he runs a sc scrambler three times as
often in the playoffs as he doesn't regular season. It
was a factor versus the Bill as he ran in
that touchdown there. The Philadelphia Eagles are certainly prepping for
him as a thrower.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
The Chiefs may unleash him Sunday as a runner.
Speaker 8 (04:16):
Yeah, Kim, I'm going to keep it with the quarterbacks.
We know Jalen Hurts can run the football. He's done
that very well through his career. But the disrespect you guys,
come on, it has been real this season. They've completely
changed their offense under Kellen Moore. Why wouldn't you with
Saquon Barkley. Quarterbacks are often measured by their Super Bowl victories,
and that would put Patrick Mahomes in the conversation for
(04:38):
Hall of Famer. But I just want to point something
out here with this graphic we're about to flash on
the screen right here. This is just a little comparison
of these two quarterbacks in the playoffs. Patrick Mahomes Jalen Hurts.
It's not one verse one, but they're going to each
face very good defenses, respectively. But look at the jump
(04:58):
in passing yards for Jalen Hurts right the rush yards
we knew would come, but seven total touchdown. Both of
them take care of the football. That completion percentage for
Jalen Hurts right around seventy percent.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
He got aj Brown.
Speaker 8 (05:13):
Going in the NFC Championship Game after that game, AJ
Brown told me that he's simply a warrior.
Speaker 4 (05:19):
But one thing I.
Speaker 8 (05:20):
Will tell you about Patrick excuse me, Jalen Hurts, you
guys having covered him as we again see that graphic
and just how those pass yards have jumped.
Speaker 4 (05:29):
He finds ways to win.
Speaker 8 (05:31):
And that's what we know of Jalen Hurts and his
stoic nature. That is exactly what his right tackle All
Pro right tackle Lane Johnson told me after the NFC Championship.
The one word you would use to describe him as stoic,
but his ability to strike through the air or run
that game plan through Saquon Barkley, whom they have been
(05:51):
riding not just through the playoffs but this entire season.
And by the way, he is getting stronger as the
season goes on, it's really impressive. I spoke with head
coach Nick Sirianni about his quarterback, Jalen Hurts, and I
asked him this week, what's most impressive thing to you
about his preparation? And I know it sounds basic, but
he said, it's his consistency. He literally is the same
(06:12):
guy every single day. When I mentioned that Super Bowl
fifty seven, Jalen Hurts said over and over, keep the
main thing, the main thing. I'm not hearing that this year.
Maybe he's said it at some point, but Jamie, it
feels like he has been in this position multiple times
through multiple years.
Speaker 4 (06:28):
Allah.
Speaker 8 (06:29):
Patrick Mahomes, he is built for this. His consistency is
really impressive. His calmness and steadiness is impressive. And this
team falls on that energy and that calmness, and they
have been very business like in their approach this week.
Speaker 4 (06:43):
Stacy, it's spot on.
Speaker 3 (06:44):
The playoff experience is vast for both of these quarterbacks. Cannon, Stacy,
thank you so much. But the winning goes to Patrick Mahomes.
The Lombardes go to Patrick Mahomes. So far, what can
Jalen Hurts do about that this week and remains to
be seen, And a lot of it has to do
with what the head coaches draw up. Andy Reid has
been here before, He's won here before. Nick Sirianni impressing
(07:06):
many by becoming just the third head coach to ever
reach multiple Super Bowls in his first four seasons. Now,
they both spoke yesterday, these head coaches about what the
main focus is with these groups heading into this weekend.
Speaker 9 (07:20):
We try to work hard. I mean, I keep it
that simple. You really know that it's about the game,
and all this other stuff doesn't necessarily matter. It matters
to people and the entertainment part of the business. But
without the guys focusing on the game, or the coaches
or myself in that same boat there, that you lose
(07:45):
track of what this thing's all about. You can get
really caught up in all this and you can't get
too far from what's real, and that's playing the game.
Speaker 10 (07:55):
We're going to look to win any way we can.
I've never doubted our passing game with the people that
we have there, with the coaches that we have there,
with the players that we have there. So you know,
there have been games that have been dictated differently this year.
If we need to run it fifty times and pass
it once, we will to win. If we need to
do a vice versa, we will. And we really don't
(08:17):
care what anybody else thinks. Our job is to win
games and try to win games the best way we
can for our team. And like I said, just because
the Adjaylen said it and I loved it, just because
we haven't done something doesn't mean we can't.
Speaker 3 (08:30):
Oh versatility in a winning at all cost mentality. That's
what Nick Sirianni and the Eagles are looking to accomplish
this weekend against the Chiefs, playing for the second time
in three years in the Super Bowl. Peter, I go
to you first, and then we'll hear from everybody. Fill
in the blank.
Speaker 4 (08:45):
Please.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
If the Eagles do fill in the blank, they will
be Super Bowl fifty nine champions.
Speaker 4 (08:51):
Peter.
Speaker 5 (08:52):
Okay, there's countless cliches and football talk about establishing the run.
I think has to be more than establishing the run.
I think the Eagles need to run all over the
Kansas City Chiefs, and Tequon needs to be the exact
same guy that he has been this entire playoff run.
If Saquon gets going and has one of these type
(09:13):
of games, they can beat the Chiefs.
Speaker 6 (09:15):
In fact, they will beat the Chiefs.
Speaker 5 (09:17):
Taik Kwon Barkley has been an absolute legend this season,
and his playoff performances have been perfectly fitting for a
regular season that was historic. He has gashed the Rams,
the Commanders, and of course in the wildcard round, got
it going when.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
They had to win that game as well.
Speaker 5 (09:36):
I'll say this about the prospect of him.
Speaker 6 (09:39):
Doing this stuff.
Speaker 5 (09:40):
Kyle brought this up last week and it shocked me.
It was one of the stats that I said, WHOA,
The Spagnolo's defenses don't allow teams to run the ball.
If you look at the most rushing yards versus the
Chiefs in the playoffs since twenty nineteen, that is a
good six year span. No one has broken the century mark.
(10:02):
Not a single player here saying Saquon can go for
one fifty one, seventy five, two hundred, because that's just
what he does. That's insulting to that defense and the
Chiefs commitment to stopping the run. I know, Mahomes and
Kelsey is sexy.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
To talk about.
Speaker 5 (10:19):
I know for years it was about Tyreek Hill, and
I know in the last couple of years it's been like, Wow,
the Chiefs just always find a way on offense. The
real story of the twenty twenty five Chiefs has been
their defense. Eight sacks against the Texans, stopping Josh Allen
and James Cook when it mattered most last time in
their game in the AFC Championship Game, and now it's
(10:39):
going to be stopping Saquon. Sae Quon's that dude. He
has been going absolutely wild this season. No one's been
really able to contain him. One defense might be able to.
It's the Kansas City Chiefs.
Speaker 6 (10:50):
I love that full screen and I love this Spagnolo stat.
Speaker 11 (10:52):
If there was any little crack in it, it would
just be that two of those top five you showed
Peter are from this season this postseason. So if anyone
was going to break through, maybe it is this year,
and maybe it Saquon, who I think is the greatest
weapon offensive weapon that the Chiefs defense have faced in
the Mahomes era. And you could have all of those guys, McCaffrey, Debo,
(11:15):
Mike Evans, anybody you want in a Super Bowl. I
think the Saquon is the number one weapon that they
have faced.
Speaker 6 (11:20):
How do you beat the Chiefs.
Speaker 11 (11:22):
It's it's extremely difficult, but it's actually very simple. The
Eagles will win if they don't make any mistakes. You
can't make any mistakes, and never mind the officiat that's
a different deal I'm talking about. You can't miss an
extra point, you can't miss the two point conversion, you
can't get stopped on fourth and short, you can't have
the big dumb turnover. We saw what the Bills did
remember the Texans a couple of rounds ago.
Speaker 6 (11:42):
We're having all these kicking issues.
Speaker 11 (11:43):
Last time the Chiefs saw the Eagles in the Super Bowl,
they made a huge mistake on the scoop and score fumble. Guys,
let's just look at the last Super Bowl that they
played against the Niners. The Niners missed an extra point.
They got it blocked. You can't do this against the Chiefs.
This would have made it a four point lead. They
blocked the extra You cannot do that against the Chiefs.
Speaker 6 (12:02):
You can't make that play. You're gonna lose Another thing.
Speaker 11 (12:05):
Earlier in this game, opening drive, Christian McCaffrey fumble opening
drive of the game. It was Christian McCaffrey's first lost
fumble in three months.
Speaker 6 (12:13):
You can't do this against the Chiefs. And you might say, oh,
the Chiefs fumble the Chiefs, they're the Chiefs. They can
do it. You can't. They can make mistakes and get
over it. You can't.
Speaker 11 (12:25):
She can't make these mistakes. McCaffrey was not a fumbler.
Plays the Chiefs, he fumbles, he loses.
Speaker 6 (12:30):
That, they lose the game. And I'm calling it over
the last couple of years, I'm calling it the errors Tour.
Here are the mess ups over the last couple of years.
Speaker 11 (12:38):
All right, this year's playoffs, last year's playoffs. Teams are
missing two pointers, They're losing fumbles, five miss kicks, eleven
drop passes.
Speaker 6 (12:48):
Those are all losses, all losses. You don't have to
play a perfect game.
Speaker 11 (12:53):
You can have incomplete passes, you can have runs that
don't go well, you can get sacked.
Speaker 6 (12:58):
You can't make the big miss. You can't even make one.
Ask the Eagles ask Jalen Hurts play the game of
his life.
Speaker 11 (13:03):
One mistake, see later, get out of our confetti. You
can't make mistakes against the Chiefs.
Speaker 6 (13:09):
That's it. Don't do it, You'll win, do it? See
you later.
Speaker 12 (13:11):
Man.
Speaker 13 (13:12):
You're like, you're like batman, man. You got all the
cool toys. You've got all the cool toys. But I
think jokers said that. I don't know who said it,
but you know, the feed too of this offense is
something that is very problematic of the Kansas City Chiefs offense.
And I think if the Eagles are going to win
this game, they're literally going to have to contain mister
(13:32):
Patrick Mahomes and not just contain Patrick Mahomes. They're also
going to have to neutralize the quick passing game, because
I think that's what gets this team going.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
They are so good when.
Speaker 13 (13:41):
You talk about contained because you think about what they
did during the regular season and being able to convert
the third down literally almost fifty percent they're converting on
third downs and they are sustaining drives, and that's what
they do well. Like there isn't you know, you can
start looking at the measurables. When I just think about
Patrick Mahomes and his ability to keep stretching. I think
back even to the first game, excuse me, the last
(14:03):
game against the Ufflot Bills, and I look at how
he was able to convert but also to get the
ball out of their real quick and that's something they
do well. And so if the Eagles are going to
have a chance, they got to get those big dudes
up front Jayley Carter and they're not necessarily going to
try to win the one on one pass rush. Is
being able to get up real quick and get your
hands up, get your hands up because the ball is
(14:24):
coming out really really quick.
Speaker 6 (14:26):
And again, the Buffalo Bills, they struggle in that opening.
Speaker 13 (14:28):
Drive just to be able to stop Patrick Mahomes.
Speaker 6 (14:30):
And his ability.
Speaker 13 (14:31):
He's getting that ball out of there less than three seconds.
It's coming out fast and hot. So I say keep
the contained lane, the rush lanes, making sure that you
guys keep them contained, and then getting the hands up
so you can stop him from making those quick passes.
Speaker 4 (14:44):
It's so true.
Speaker 3 (14:44):
Remember that thing I said to you after the Bills
game against the Chiefs, and it was like the Patrick
Mahomes just moves the ball from the forty to the
forty faster and easier than anybody else can. He doesn't
get stopped, and all of a sudden he's in field
goal range in.
Speaker 4 (14:55):
The red zone and it's a disaster.
Speaker 3 (14:57):
Peter, quick question for you before we go to break.
Are you hearing of a major onslought of Chiefs fan
AND's famous Chiefs fans whatever? Because they want to witness history?
Is there because there could be oh we've been there,
we've seen Super Bowls, But there's also a need that
people want to be in the building to watch this
thing go down this weekend potentially.
Speaker 4 (15:16):
What are you hearing about who's coming?
Speaker 5 (15:18):
Yeah, I think it's it's going to be the usual.
Arsenal will find their way there. Now here's the interesting
thing we've talked about. Paul Rudd, the actor in the community.
He's currently in Australia filming Anaconda too with Jack Black.
I don't know, Kyle, if there's many direct flights from Brisbane,
Australia to New Orleans, but I'm sure Paul will find
a way here. We also had the announcement that our
(15:40):
president will be in the building and it'll be the
first sitting president to ever attend a Super Bowl live,
So we have a lot of things to look forward.
The Chiefs and the Eagles. You also have quite a
few attendees will be in the building. Oh and by
the way, Taylor Swift is probably in the house too.
Speaker 6 (15:55):
Mostly a lot of star par right there. That's going
to be a great game. I guess, Oh no, why.
Speaker 4 (15:59):
Wrought us to be in Australia for that?
Speaker 3 (16:00):
Can't you just film Anacona two down the Bayou and
New Orleans like that works too?
Speaker 6 (16:07):
Hurts by and shop in the backfield.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
He wants to run it.
Speaker 6 (16:09):
He put all the balls out, he kicks the ball.
Speaker 14 (16:11):
It's picked up by Kansas City. They're going to the
twenty to the town, to the fire Chuck stud Okay,
that Chuck score by okay air boat.
Speaker 3 (16:29):
Oh boy, what a memory for Nick Bolton in the
Kansas City Chiefs signed for a whiteboard Wednesday. You just
saw the game changing play made by twenty two back
in Super Bowl fifty seven. Kyle just so eloquently described
what you can't do against the Chiefs in a Super Bowl,
which is be a part of the errors tour. You
can't make a mistake otherwise it will be capitalized upon.
(16:49):
The game changer for Super Bowl fifty nine. Peter, if
you were to make a prediction, write it on your
whiteboard and have it go down in history so you
can prove everybody right on Monday, would.
Speaker 5 (16:59):
Be Okay, My whiteboard's hard because of the zoom thing,
so like I'm doing that, so it's crazy. So white
Court's kind of negligent with me.
Speaker 6 (17:07):
But I will give you a name, all right ready,
j A y l e N. Another Jalen. This one's
spelt j A y l e N.
Speaker 5 (17:15):
Last name Watson, Jalen Watsons Watson out of Washington State,
Kansas City Chiefs. Jalen Watson were number thirty five. You
don't hear his name a lot but they look at
him as an absolute dog. At the other side of
Trent McDuffie, Jalen Watson roll the footage if we got it,
I don't know if we do. But he's a chief
stud corner, one of these young defensive backfield players.
Speaker 6 (17:38):
Thank you, Jamie for a company me here.
Speaker 5 (17:41):
If you're outside of Kansas City, you probably don't know
the work that Watson does in that building. Speaking with Spags,
speaking with that defensive group on Monday Night's opening night,
his name kept on coming up.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
Absolute stud. It's mcduffy on one side, it's him on
the other. I think he's gonna make a play.
Speaker 5 (17:59):
He's gonna have to cover either DeVonta Smith or of
course a J.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
Brown, and he's gonna make a play.
Speaker 5 (18:04):
That is my game changer, the name that no one's talking.
Speaker 13 (18:06):
About, all right, and in the last Super Bowl, and
I love this pick too, for the you know, for
the for the Chiefs and for the Eagles game. The
last game we saw Super Bowl fifty seven, we saw
Bolt make that underfive of.
Speaker 6 (18:20):
That play was epic. I still see to my head.
Speaker 13 (18:23):
And it wasn't a name that we necessarily were hearing
all the time. And This is a name we haven't
really heard a lot, but he's coming back into the mix.
It's Hollywood Brown, and he's gonna be a Hollywood ending.
I really truly believe now that he's back and he's
comfortable in the mix. We saw in the Buffalo Bill's
game they started off hot with him coming out quick.
He's going to be the difference maker in this game.
(18:43):
And there's gonna be a lot of attention elsewhere. Of course,
we know, but one thing about Patrick Mahomes in this offense,
they like to distribute the ball everywhere, and I just
have this feeling when I look at the matchups and
I see everything in place. Kelsey's gonna be getting a
lot of attention. Look for Hollywood Brown to make a
big impact in this game.
Speaker 11 (19:03):
Hey, all right, we know Howie Roseman likes as Georgia guys,
and you know a couple of them, their names get
said a little bit more, maybe more so than this guy.
Speaker 6 (19:11):
Nolan Smith Junior number three.
Speaker 11 (19:13):
Guys for the Philadelphia Eagles. Four sacks in the playoffs,
not the season.
Speaker 6 (19:19):
In the playoffs. If the Eagles are.
Speaker 11 (19:21):
Going to win this game, someone needs to do a
Brandon Graham impression, but not on Brady.
Speaker 6 (19:27):
On Mahomes.
Speaker 11 (19:28):
Someone needs to make a play and swat that right
arm of Mahomes and get a fumble. Look at him,
he's all over the snow. He's been at Terry's, Oliver,
Jayden and Stafford. This is a guy who we look
up at the fourth quarter of this game where we're like,
oh my god, is Nolan Smith Junior gonna win the
MVP of this game? He has two sacks and a
force fumble. Somebody needs to make a play, and if
it's not gonna be in the sacred needs to be upfront.
(19:49):
We know Jalen Carter, we know some of the other
guys look for number three in the Eagles to make
a play. He's been doing it for the last month.
I like this guy's chances.
Speaker 4 (19:57):
I like your specifics. Kyle.
Speaker 3 (19:59):
You could have just said, like any Georgia bulldog on
the Eagles and you would have probably covered a lot
of bases, but you went Smith specifically number three.
Speaker 4 (20:06):
All right, I'm really.
Speaker 3 (20:06):
Proud of all the interviews that we have been conducting
this week, everybody coming on our show having a good time.
Speaker 4 (20:11):
Yesterday was no exception.
Speaker 3 (20:13):
Kirk Cousins, the quarterback in Atlanta couldn't hide his passion
for one of the great bands of the nineties.
Speaker 4 (20:20):
Take a listen.
Speaker 6 (20:22):
I just had a friend who stayed at our house.
Speaker 15 (20:24):
As a thank you gift, they did like a crochet
of the Creed lyrics welcome to this place. I'll show
you everything. It was like that, I'm supposed to like
hang over my entry door to my house. So this
Creed thing, largely thanks to you, has just exploded to
where I'm getting gifts from people. It looked like my
(20:46):
grandma crocheted something that have Creed lyrics on them.
Speaker 3 (20:51):
And there is nothing that that place belongs more than
a guest room in the cousin's household. Look at a
Kyle you were sent the photographic evidence.
Speaker 6 (20:59):
Yeah, it's it almost he would think it was scripture
or something.
Speaker 11 (21:02):
It's like stap like it is just a beautiful, beautiful.
Speaker 6 (21:07):
Sewing and needle point and whatever the hell's and he's got.
Speaker 11 (21:09):
On his wall on Ironically, no apologies is pretty cool.
Speaker 4 (21:12):
That's very intricate and well done.
Speaker 3 (21:14):
Somebody that sadly does do some crochet and some prostage.
Speaker 4 (21:16):
Sometimes I can tell you.
Speaker 3 (21:17):
That that I can I do, which leads to us
to this question, not to that put to nineties bands comparisons,
because that's what we do here on a Wednesday.
Speaker 4 (21:26):
In the second segment of our show.
Speaker 3 (21:28):
What nineties bann best describes the Eagles or the Chiefs?
Speaker 5 (21:33):
Peter, Okay, Mine and Kyle. By the way, the fact
that you have created this Kirk Cousin's creed subreddit community
is truly a gift and why Good Morning Football should
be on air for eternity.
Speaker 6 (21:43):
That's all I'm saying.
Speaker 5 (21:44):
Second of all, I look at the Chiefs, and I
look at Kelsey and Mahomes, and when they first got
together in twenty seventeen and the first really started playing
in twenty eighteen, they were still finding themselves, and then
twenty nineteen on it has been hit after hit after
hit after hit. They have defined our generation. They've also grown.
I say, boys to men are Kelsey and Mahomes. You
(22:07):
talk about the nineties, and you think about it started
with Motown Philly, so you had just a little taste
of it in ninety one, and then in ninety two
they come out end of the road and then it's
all make love to you. It's one sweet day. It's
of course on bended knee. I mean, there's just hit
after hit after hit. I look at these guys and
the irony is I went Kansas City Chiefs for Boys
to Men, not Philadelphia. This is Michael Philadelphia roots. I
(22:32):
just think about the group. The group of a generation
for me in the nineties was Boys to Men and
they spanned the entire decade. Then the team of a
generation for this current era are these guys.
Speaker 6 (22:43):
So that is it.
Speaker 5 (22:45):
Of course, we can go a million different directions with
which Boys to Men's song best describes the Kansas City chase.
But I'll let that up to you guys, and hopefully
it's not end of the road.
Speaker 6 (22:54):
Oh hey, all right, don't.
Speaker 13 (22:58):
We don't want it to be there in the road.
We'll see, all right. That was a really good one.
I've got one. This one is rooted in New York.
But one of the best bands when it comes to lyrics.
Public Enemy, Public Enemy. They were a conscientious rap group
in the nineties. I think you see Chuck d their flavor,
flav a lot of flavor in this game. But I'm
(23:19):
going the Eagles Public Enemy, And we've heard a lot
of conversation about the Kansas City Chiefs being the villains. Well,
here's public enemy number one, the Philadelphia Eagles, and they
coming in and I think of this group, I think
one of their hits is, don't believe the hype. There
is a lot of hype about the Three pede and
(23:39):
everything going on with the Kansas City Chiefs. I do
know that if the Kansas City Chiefs are responding, they're
probably going to say, you know what, You're gonna have
to fight the power that be, and that is the
Kansas City Chiefs. But the Eagles public enemy number one
against the very very hyped Kansas City Chiefs.
Speaker 11 (23:55):
Yeah, for some fans, there's a fear of the Chiefs
planet like just completely taking over. Peter, I'm still blown
away by boys to men. I mean, I'll make love
to you like you want me to. I mean as
boys the gentleman. You know, that's considerately. I really appreciate
those lyrics. All right, So nineties bands, this is a
little bit of a stretch for me. I don't know
much about the topic, but I'll try anyway. The Chiefs
(24:18):
you have to when you continually lose to them and
they win the Super Bowl every single year, every single year.
Speaker 6 (24:23):
You have to maintain your faith. You have to keep
your faith. And then when they lose, you know, you lose.
Every single year the Chiefs say, no, no, no faith,
no more. My friends, it is gone faith no more.
Speaker 11 (24:38):
And you know what, They show up in the Super
Bowl and they go look at their opponent and they say,
you want it all, but you can't have it. But
but that's what they say every single year. There is
no more faith. It's always gonna be us. You want
it all, the ring and the Lombardy, but you can't
(24:59):
have it epic, the track and the team.
Speaker 6 (25:01):
Faith no more, the Chiefs.
Speaker 4 (25:03):
Can we get that more time out of you?
Speaker 6 (25:05):
Kyle? Do it? I can't do it.
Speaker 11 (25:09):
There'll be litigation allegedly, although I've been told that for
nine years and there never has been anything whatsoever.
Speaker 6 (25:14):
But so let's just move on.
Speaker 3 (25:15):
Yes, fine, all right, let's move on to something that
we can mimic because we love Scott Hanson and we
will not get sued. Our favorite Red Zone Channel host,
Scott Hansen, was having an absolute ball hosting opening night.
Take a listen, walk down Memory Lane.
Speaker 16 (25:31):
And here it is, ladies and gentlemen, the Vince Lombardi Trophy,
the greatest prize in American sports, seven pounds of career,
defining Tiffany's sterling silver. Either the Eagles or the Chiefs
will hoist this on Sunday.
Speaker 3 (25:50):
All right, there, it is Tiffany silver. This leads us
to our next question on whiteboard Wednesday, our final one.
What is an everyday occurrence or daily activity that you
would like to hear? Scott hands it's in near rate, Peter.
Speaker 4 (26:06):
How can I help you out here?
Speaker 6 (26:07):
Bud?
Speaker 5 (26:08):
First of all, I want to shout out Scott Hanson.
Speaker 6 (26:09):
I always say it.
Speaker 5 (26:10):
He's the face of NFL media. He's the face of
a lot of things, and he's also the face of.
Speaker 6 (26:15):
The Lombardi Trophy.
Speaker 5 (26:16):
For me, now that introduction that he does, it is
more so, it is so serious in earnest.
Speaker 6 (26:22):
That's what I love about it.
Speaker 5 (26:23):
Scott really means it like he gets up for the
event and he loves and treasures at Lombardy. While other
NFL legends are saying we should change the name of
the Lombardi Belichick, are you serious with that? Scotty is like, no,
the Lombardy it is just classic and it is seven
pounds of starving anyway, everyday occurrence. I want Scott Hanton
to read me the CBS Sunday Night lineup, you know,
(26:46):
and we hear it from Nance, we hear it from Romot.
Speaker 6 (26:48):
I want ladies and gentlemen. At eight o'clock. We have Tracker.
Speaker 5 (26:54):
At the clock, we have the great Morris Chestnut and
Whatson at ten o'clock.
Speaker 6 (27:02):
We have a very creative programming choice.
Speaker 11 (27:05):
We are reairing Tracker and.
Speaker 5 (27:09):
Tomorrow Kathy Bates, you remember her from such films as Misery.
We'll be in matt Low, not Hanson. Just read me
that Sunday Night promo. I would love to hear it CBS.
Speaker 4 (27:26):
And everyone except.
Speaker 3 (27:28):
For our West Coast viewers will enjoy sixty minutes after
the game.
Speaker 11 (27:31):
Yes, yeah, I actually I actually have a newspaper right
here and have had like this is this is the
TV list themes in the New York Post, which they
still do over here, and Hanson would just say, okay,
seven pm on AMC Casino, Robert de Niro Sharon Stone.
Speaker 6 (27:49):
In Las Vegas.
Speaker 11 (27:50):
Two best friends compete for a gambling empire and a
fast living, fast loving socialite.
Speaker 6 (27:56):
It's just so good. The whole paper. You could read
what's on TVs today?
Speaker 5 (28:02):
Give me the TBS, Scott Hansen, god notes.
Speaker 6 (28:04):
The alright TBS, that's no, all right, Here we go.
Speaker 11 (28:07):
We got at TBS six o'clock all Elite Wrestling Dynamites,
followed by back to back episodes of Everybody Loves Raymon
So funny you knews?
Speaker 13 (28:22):
You know something that happens here on a on a
daily basis, and feel like a high.
Speaker 6 (28:29):
Speed chase on Los Angeles? And how far would that be?
You know how it is when chase. This would be great.

Oh, he is taken down by the cane ie then
cuffed and stopped. Incredible. Wow, all right, I got my
own thing. So you guys, I don't even have one
written down. You will not believe what happened to me
a couple of weeks ago is.
Speaker 6 (29:47):
The true story.
Speaker 11 (29:48):
I am on the train with my wife on the
Metro North train line going into the city. I'm sitting
around the very strouded crane train and I get my
phone starts buzzing and it is a FaceTime from Scott Hansen,
and I'm like, you know, I love you. I'm on
a train, there's people right next to me.
Speaker 6 (30:06):
I can't answer the FaceTime right now.
Speaker 11 (30:08):
I get the immediate follow up text, Hey, face time
me if you have two seconds, bud, And I was like,
all right, what the hell is this going to be?
I FaceTime Scott Hanson on the train and I'm kind
of covering it up and turning the volume down because
Scott's pretty loud on FaceTime, and you know, so I
get this guy and he's in this like outdoor bar
in LA and he's just like, you won't believe who.
Speaker 6 (30:29):
I'm with, and I go, all right, who you with?
It's it was unbelievable.
Speaker 11 (30:34):
The guy next to him is my buddy Gins, this
lifelong friend of mine. I was like, Gins, what are
you doing with Hanson's I don't know?
Speaker 6 (30:39):
And then he's like, that's not all.
Speaker 11 (30:41):
The next person was Johnny Bananas from the Challenges, and
I'm facetiming with Johnny Bananas on the plane and.
Speaker 6 (30:47):
The training he goes and that's not all.
Speaker 11 (30:49):
And next was like one of the members of System
of a Down was sitting around a fire with Bananas
and my buddy Gins and Hanson, and Hanson's passing me
the phone to all of these people, most of which
I don't know.
Speaker 6 (31:01):
I'm gonna chain like, hey, yeah, I love the chap Suey.
I didn't know what to say, and he's like, I'll
see you later.
Speaker 11 (31:07):
Brother had to check in, and I was like, Hanson,
how far in the bag are you?
Speaker 6 (31:11):
Right now? What is going on? And I gotta go.
This happened like two weeks ago.
Speaker 11 (31:15):
I think it was actually made me last week so
it was so fun, so exciting, but crazy.
Speaker 6 (31:19):
And then Tech text me, I just had to hit
you up. I was with your boys. I was like, oh, Joes,
aren't my boys?
Speaker 2 (31:25):
What was that?
Speaker 6 (31:27):
What was that? Peter? This just happened. It is a
real story. What did Johnny Balla said you?
Speaker 9 (31:31):
I love that.
Speaker 11 (31:32):
He's like, hey, Kyle, you were in the real world
twenty years ago and I met you, Like, we're not friends.
I love the guy, but it was just crazy, just
stuck it in his face.
Speaker 6 (31:40):
It was amazing, Kyle.
Speaker 3 (31:42):
That's the kind of stuff that you get into the
one weekend before but when there's no football being played,
so like everybody was like kind of watching the Pro Bowl,
like we were all just waiting for the Super Bowl
to bubblo service. And that's what Scott Hansen does in
the Los Angeles metro area.
Speaker 4 (31:55):
He goes out, he makes friends, and then he facetimes you. Kyle.
Speaker 3 (31:58):
I can't believe you didn't pick up the first time
for Scott Hansen. I actually thought if anybody, if I
had the power rank phone calls facetimes, that you would answer.
Speaker 4 (32:06):
Scott Hanson would be up there.
Speaker 11 (32:08):
Yeah, I would have thought any other time, but then
I started talking to him. You know, the conductor starts
kind of sir, could you turn the phone off? I sorry,
I'm on the phone with a guy who played bass
and Ariels I got Hanson wants me to talk to
him and the guy who got backpacked by CT do
you want to talk to it?
Speaker 6 (32:22):
It was crazy, it was an unbelievable setting.
Speaker 5 (32:25):
Productor leans over and it's like, wait a second, that
the red zone guy.
Speaker 3 (32:28):
Yes it is yes, free ticket train ticket for everybody.
Speaker 4 (32:34):
Well done.
Speaker 6 (32:36):
All right, welcome back to Good Morning Football.
Speaker 11 (32:38):
This is my Norman rockwell Man stands up in town
hall opinion meme moments and it started organically here, but
I just want to get something off my chest. Last
week on the show, we were interviewing Ernest Biner. Now
you might remember him from Cleveland, but you should also
remember him from Washington, where he went on to win
a Super Bowl. And in the middle of our interview
with Ernest Biner, he organically held up his Super Bowl
(33:01):
ring for us to see, a ring that he says
he wears all the time.
Speaker 6 (33:07):
And it struck me.
Speaker 11 (33:08):
You just don't hear players say that that they wear
their ring all the time, because modern players don't do
that because they can't do that, because I believe super
Bowl rings need a reset. I believe they've lost their way.
I propose a return to normalcy for super Bowl rings,
(33:29):
where these symbols of excellence return from being ostentatious, oversized
mansions of diamonds to championship rings like they used to be.
The Hall of Famers gold jacket is timeless, the Lombardi
Trophy is timeless. The super Bowl rings are caught up
(33:50):
in a one upmanship and designed more for Instagram than
for a human hand. Just as a level said, look
at the very first super Bowl ring.
Speaker 6 (34:01):
Ever, it was actually a ring.
Speaker 11 (34:04):
You got the team name, you got the year, world champions,
and a simple stone in the middle. Elegant, tasteful, perfect,
And the rings that followed in that era were equally classic.
They said I am a super Bowl champ. They did
not scream it. Those are rings that you could pass down,
(34:28):
that your grandson could wear in your honor someday. They're
a ring that you could put on your bedside table
at night, not in your safe all year. So when
did it change, Well, you might not be surprised. When
did the super Bowl ring arms race begin? When the
Cowboys starting wining them the nineties. In fact, Nate Newton
(34:49):
even said at the time that by the time the
Cowboys won their third ring, everybody on the team tried
to order a size bigger than they needed, just to
make sure that they were huge and that the owners
of the rings became just as top about as the
rings themselves. So Michael Strahan, after winning his ring famously
(35:10):
with the Giants, told David Letterman that they wanted a
ten table ring, ten table ring which could be seen
in a restaurant from ten tables away. Now it's a
very funny quote, and I love Strahan, but stray, honestly,
do you really want more people looking at you in
a restaurant? At this point they already are, And if
you're a Super Bowl champ in New York, they already know.
(35:33):
Any man who has to say I am the King
is no king. But I do understand you are proud
of being a champion, all of the champions, and you
want people to know about it.
Speaker 6 (35:42):
You want to show it off. So wouldn't you want
a ring that you could actually wear to a man?
Speaker 11 (35:48):
Every modern Super Bowl champ that we get to talk
to here says the same thing about.
Speaker 6 (35:52):
Their ring that they only wear it once or.
Speaker 11 (35:55):
Twice a year, because basically it's ridiculous and impractical. I
used to see Jerry Kramer and Rocky Blyer during super
Bowl week wearing their ring, which they'd wear all the
time like gentlemen, and they'd wear it all the time
because they could, because it didn't look like those that's
not so much sometimes you see these modern guys.
Speaker 6 (36:14):
It's not so much a.
Speaker 11 (36:15):
Man wearing a ring as it is a ring wearing
a man. It reminds me of Rose and the Heart
of the Ocean. It's this very, very large, kind of tasteless,
over the top diamond she's got there that Rose openly
admits later it was a dreadful, heavy thing.
Speaker 6 (36:35):
I only wore it this once.
Speaker 11 (36:38):
And now we've entered an era where it feels like
super Bowl rings were designed by exhibit. We got rings
with secret compartments and play calls and hidden messages. It's
become pimped my ring every single year. I think the
rings need a reset, the bubble needs to burst. And
I know athletes love superheroes. I do too, so I
(36:59):
will put it in these terms. Here's what needs.
Speaker 18 (37:02):
To happen bit down, lean, bold, linear cool, and I
love and respect all of the men and women with
super Bowl rings.
Speaker 6 (37:13):
I would love to see them wear them more often.
Speaker 11 (37:16):
We don't need to completely strip them down to yesteryear.
Not everything has to be a sixty three Corvette, but
super Bowl rings are too special to be cyber trucks.
Speaker 6 (37:28):
That's my opinion.
Speaker 2 (37:30):
I'm sticking to it.
