Good Morning Football.
Hey, everybody, welcome INSI Good Morning Football presented by Harbor Freight Live in Los Angeles. I'm jamier at all.
This is akbarp I s would be.
A Miller, Peter Scheger, Kyle Brandt in New York. Harbor Freight discount tools.
Did you know this about Harbor Freight?
You know? I didn't know that, but now I know. I was confused.
I always want to make sure we honor the sponsor they put. They turn the lights on for us, Harbor Frate. We appreciate you and your discount tool selection wherever your stores may be. I just I really need a clarification. I've been saying this story name for two days now, and I didn't.
Know you know what, though, I can tell Harbor Frank, I do need a power drill. I need one of those power drills in the screw. I'm just I don't have one at the house, all right, I need one.
You don't fix your things at your.
To use one though?
All right, this is a lead block. Caleb Williams saw his first game action Saturday. Arm talent certainly on display arm talent, showing us all why he was the number one pick. As for Caleb, though, he was just happy to be back on the field.
It definitely feels good to get out there. Last time I was out there on the field other than practice, it was November eighteen, and it's you know, you go that long without something, it's it's it's tough.
But now it's been great.
The guys have made it fun. They made it easy on me, talking about our talking about our other players. They've been They've been great from the beginning to now. And and you know my my progress is I would I would count my progress and support. I would count it to them. Uh, they've been great, like I said, and so uh to get out there and and and and have the confidence you know that we had out there. It's it's only going to get better.
And we can't wait.
Bears fans can't wait. If you consider, and I think many biggest odds people do, the Lions are favorites in the NFC North right now, Peter, who would you put at number two on that list in the division?
I labored over this one because I think the Bears are a really interesting pick. I just haven't seen the proof of concept yet, and the Packers were.
Kind of in a similar boat last year.
I think it was a less heat on the Packers in the offseason, but everyone's like if Jordan Love's great, like they have a lot of young talent and their defense is outstanding, they can do this.
I saw it with my own two eyes. It all worked, and.
In December and January there might have been no more lethal team than the Green Bay Packers. And as much as we talk about on that squad being you know, Love and then the defensive for Shaun Garry and Jay r Alexander and Kenny Clark and how low do they are.
The big X factor last year.
Was the wide receivers and the tight ends, like who's Love throwing to who's he go?
This is amazing. This team isn't going anywhere. I think they're gonna be way better this year.
Look at the wide receivers and tight ends for Green Bay and the oldest one is probably eighth on the depth chart in Samari Tore but Watson's still only twenty five. Bo Melton from Rutgers came on late twenty five, Dubs twenty four.
Jayden Reed awesome.
Last year twenty four, Heath twenty four, wis the second year guy to Virginia twenty.
Three, and then the two tight ends.
They have two tight ends, Tucker Kraft from the small town twenty three years old and Luke Musgrave, whose uncle was Billy Musgrave, the offensive coordinator for years in this league. Is only twenty three guys. They aren't getting any older. They don't have some like oh, but if this guy's helped goat like. There are so many of them and they were just scratching the surface as the season came to an end in San Francisco last year. None of them are holding out and none of them are holding out, and they're all gonna want to get.
Paid eventually, but not this year.
Christian Watson, we know he's got hamstring issues, so guess what if he can't go, We've got eight others that are all young and ready to go, oh, including Nevada's own Romeo Dobs. Like, I gotta think Green Bay was just scratching the surface and just hitting their stride as they beat Dallas and gave.
San Francisco hell last year.
So I'm gonna say the Packers number two to Detroit and the Bears and Vikings fighting for that three spot.
But I wouldn't argue if you said Vikings two or Bears two. It's really a good division.
Yeah, I totally agree with you. I'm right there with you.
I do think before I get to that number two, I do think that the Minnesota Vikings, that's the team right there that is kind of like, Okay, they can do a lot, and so I've got my eyes on them. I wanted to put them at the number two spot, but then I'm just like, I gotta go with the with the Packers. So I'm right there with you, Peter. I think the Packers are strong. I'm especially in love with the upgrade that I believe in, the versatility with Josh Jacobs and bringing Josh Jacobs into the fold. I think that gives love a lot of options. I think you give this offense and opportunity to do things that they probably perhaps couldn't do beforehand. And then I look at the defensively, the goy Jair Alexander, they got Kenny Clark. I mean, this is a team that I believe that is ready to hold that number two spot. They're going to have to do a lot to try to shake the Detroit Lions off that number one spot, but they're going to be battling it out with the Minnesota Vikings for sure for that number two.
Well, listen, I should set the table by saying I resent the question.
I don't like the question.
I would like mid segment to remove what we call the lower thair, and I want that below me while I answer, when did I say that the Lions were the number one team? Some experts said this somewhere we talk about our opinions here. Thank you for removing that so succinctly. We're way too obsessed with last year. And I understand what it's all those games we have to go off of. But if you want to go off of last year, then make sure to go back and really look into last year, especially the second half of last year when the Bears absolutely smacked the Lions.
Smack them. Now. I don't know how many people watched that game.
The Bears are a little off the radar, but it was a thirteen points the Lions scored in that game against the like a bad Bears team. Golf in the game was bad. Amon rad nothing, Laporta nothing. Because the best kept secret in the NFC right now is the Bears defense. You're gonna say, what are you talking about? You're crazy. Everyone's talking about Caleb and DJ Moore and all those guys, and they gets all the attention and all the airtime and hard knocks. There was not a better secondary in the entire NFL in the final two months of the season than the Chicago Bear secondary. I know it's not a sexy topic. Bears safeties and corners fantastic. Ask the Lions. They know how good the Bears were at the end of last year. And that's before Keenan, Allen, Roma Doomsay, Caleb Williams, all those guys. Not to mention, Peter hit the Packers hard like the Packers are bleeping loaded, and I think in what we do, they don't have the superstars on offense other than Jordan Love, who's still really a neophyight, so they don't.
Get the headlines that much.
The guy that you knew and loved and had on your fantasy team was Aaron Jones, who's now on the Vikings.
All from the division.
I think this is the best division in the NFL.
I think the best division NFL.
If you can look at two teams where you would not blink if they were in the Super Bowl this year. The Lions and the Packers and then the Bears absolutely loaded and everyone loves them, and the Vikings to the hell knows.
It's tough to find.
A division with that type of top heaviness in terms of Super Bowl potential. The Packers have, the Lions have it. I did not do this discussion to slam the Lions. I love the Lions, but I'm not handing them anything. And look no further than Dan Campbell at the end of last year when they blew the Niners game in the title game, and they did blow it, when his first message to the team, mister Mentallica was look, guys, we may never get here again. That's just real. That's how this league works. We had an amazing opportunity. We couldn't finish it. We may not get back here. It was right, it was honest. Never mind the Super Bowl. They may not get back to the NFC North again. It's a great division. We're not handing it to anybody.
Peter, our show is a fluid amba that moves and is mobile.
Look at the lower third. Now, come, it's not who's number two? I like that on me Ba.
Would you answer that question who should be the favorite in the NFC North If it's not, who's the number two team?
Would you not say it's Kyle?
Go ahead and say it. You want to say Detroit, well, go.
Ahead, listen.
It's a different discussion when you have trouble with these things.
What do I say, look at the head coach and look at the quarterback.
By far the most experienced quarterback and a head coach who has answered a lot of questions. So yeah, favorite, sure, favorite is just no, maybe win it. But I'm not saying starting a conversation with who should be the number two team as if the Detroit Lions this year are the Jordan Bulls on the Eastern Conference and we can.
Just hand it to them.
Not that good, guys, There's gonna be a competition here.
I will answer who should be the number two team, but only because I don't know who the number one team is that actually can still be up for grabs between the Bears and the Lions and the Packers. Because I do want to put the Vikings at the second best team in the NFC, nor might.
Want to change the lower third to ask them to change the lower head No.
It's fine editorially someone who's the number two.
Yeah, exactly.
I look at the Brian Flores experience in the second year as a defensive coordinator in Minnesota and the fact that what we saw from what he wanted to accomplish in Minnesota last year was the full send experience. The Dallas Turner draft pick to me for the Vikings out of Minnesota or out of Alabama was a home run, thank you. Within this Vikings defense, the fact I was a little nervous when Danil Hunter was able to walk away and leave this defense. I thought you were going to hit me again with that. I was like, okay, great, I'll do it. But clearly Brian Flores has a plan. And you know who else he brought in in this offseason. It's not gonna blow your hair back, but it might blow his hair back.
It's Andrew van Ginkel.
He is a part of this Vikings defense. But the fact is there was a stretch last year where the Vikings were winning games. The beginning of season was rough. Her Cousins gets hurt the middle, Brian Flores starts to feel himself, and they were top five in the league in several categories. In the middle of the season, injuries started to supplant them, and that's that sucks. But man, the Flores plan of action is to get a guy like Dallas Turner. When that happened for the Vikings late round in this and in the draft this spring, I thought I could not believe he was still on the board.
It was a baller.
He's a ball with the ball.
And I think if you're looking at young rookie quarterbacks like remove Jared Goff, if you're looking at Jordan Love and Kayleb Williams, I'd be scared if I was going up against that Vikings defense twice this season. So I'll put them at two only because I'm not sure what's going on at the quarterback position, but I think their defense is coming.
You know what, You move me a little bit towards the Vikings. You just moved me a little bit towards the Vikings.
That's the plan off bar Kyle, Well, listen, I love the optimism, but the I'm not sure what's going on with the quarterback position is a little layer.
Other than that.
I was the play missus Lincoln like, there's a large conversation to be had and I don't want to open up the vat and beat up Sam Donald again. But I'm not a fan. Apparently I'm in the minority. Every coach's ever worked loves him. But I just still don't think that's going to be the thing. And I feel like they're not only not a two, but like a clear four, not three, A clear four.
Peter disagree.
I think going into the season because of the unknowns at quarterback, they are a clear four and the defense is solid. But would you put that defense over Green Bays, Detroits or.
Chicago's I'm not sure. I want Lakwan our researcher, who's awesome. I want them for the commercial break. Maybe has there ever been a division since the new format where we get seven teams per conference?
Has there ever been a division where all four teams went to the hole?
I want to think the AFC North one year had Steelers, Bengals, Ravens and Browns.
Make the playoffs. But I could be wrong.
Maybe it was an I'd love to see because this might be that year where all four of these teams go to the playoffs. They're that good, the just division winners from the other three.
It would be mind boggling because if you look at the standings, then you're telling me that not a single other team in the NFC would make it besides the division winners, and then those three would occupy it. That would be so shocking, but I guess it would lend itself to Kyle's argument that it's the Lakwan we got best or toughest. I'm just buying Lakwan time Lakwan.
I'm looking at it now, twenty twenty eighth north where you head the Pittsburgh Saylors twelve and four, eleven and five, Browns Ravens eleven and five, and then the Banks were four and eleven that year.
But it's on.
Okay, so that's only three.
We've seen three. The full sweepest is here. But I think we've arrived on something. If you've been watching Good Morning Football since we've rearrived here in the month of August, we're we've been looking for teams to adopt as our own, meaning like teams that no one is picking to go to the playoffs, not the headline teams that everyone is in.
And each of us is.
Kind of claiming I'm like our little pound puppy, like this is my team that I think will be going to the playoffs. I am taking the Arizona Cardinals. I like the Cardinals this year. I think they're going to get a wild card down And I said, no one else picked them. That means all our co hosts and all of you people out there, I'm doing the Cardinals. We've been trying to find a fit for Jamie, and Jamie yesterday was openly wondering aloud that the Broncos could be her pick. Jamie, would you like to claim now to take home the Minnesota Vikings to be a playoff team that none of us can hype around? It sounds like you're right there. You got the puppy in your hands. Do you want to give it a home or do you want.
To put it back on the crates.
I had this immaculate Reception shirt to choose from today, or one of the nineteen Viking shirts that I have in my closet here at GMF, like obviously, but I don't even used them as a pound puppy. I mean, Kyle, like, I don't know that it was inevitable. I feel like, if you're gonna, if you're gonna let your heart pick one team for Prediction Week it's for me. It's it's mostly gonna bleed purple. So but I still go back to my other list of misfit puppies and the poor puppies in this in the story. But to me, Kyle, yeah, that that was a given.
Monks are going to the playoffs, right yeah, okay, So I'm on Va Miller and I support this message both there we go.
Okay, right real quick, lakwan the year that Kyler played in a Monday night football playoff game against the Rams, did the Seahawks and Niners make it as well?
That year?
Just put it up there, there's been a team a division.
Tell me, okay, we're gonna look it up for the next break.
All right.
In the pocket, the ball is free touchdown that was created by Von Miller.
Off the edge, got by the right tackle Mike Remmers.
It was Malik Jackson in the end zone and the Bronco defense.
With their sixth touchdown of the year.
Defensive points are so big time in a Super Bowl spooping.
Up us.
See, we were gonna we were gonna put load on it. We were gonna say the man who pounced on the fumble in Super Bowl fifty. But bleak, Jackson said.
Have so many other clips? Can I hear you? We're going now.
It's terrible recording, right, that was just Super Bowl terrible.
I didn't do anything, Yes, you did on the ball.
I got off a block and I picked up the ball that was happened to be in an end zone for you. There's so many other players.
Do you still have that ball? No, I threw it in the stands. You did.
He wanted nothing to do with this then, and he wanted nothing to do with it now. Okay, by the end of the show, Frankly Milake Jackson, who is one of the greatest friends on the show, when you come back, give us a new clip and we will play it as your highlights.
I can do that re enter.
Then we'll see if we can.
What do you want?
Okay? Can you turn it up in my ear a little bit? I don't know.
There's a few plays in that game where I got after the quarterback a little bit, had a few pressures, I guess, because I think that's a good uh.
In the famous the super Bowl? Are we on right now?
Yeah?
Ship this super Bowl?
So yeah, any anything, let's ghost this transition straight into music.
That's good we're all gathering ourselves. We're watching clips of Malak and like, I don't want to see that.
Well, we were just hearing a conversation doing the commercial breaks the seg The segway got me.
Well, hell, everybody, this is Super Bowl fifty a Bronco longtime friend of the show.
Now you're retired, you look great, appreciate it. How are you filling your time after playing? Just like for fresh people of what you've been up to.
Well, you know, I went plant based really just and then in a minute fast and really just wanted to, you know, get my health back. And then it's really been keeping up my time. I went back to school. I went to Stare for school to business for small startups, you know, and I'm also signing back up to go to Tennessee. So just really want to get the education. And you know, I think it's really the ten thousand hour rule, right, like you have to be able to put yourself in a situation to learn the lingo and how to talk to people and just understand business. And I also started a business called Card of Partners. It's in an advisory service to help retired athletes navigate the healthcare system and give them peace of mind and the rolodex of providers to be able to help them take care of the needs.
That they have.
And really the biggest thing is just being a helicopter dad. You know, I have an eight year old daughter about to turn nine. She's an avid ice skater. You know, we've been down to San Diego. We drove up to San Jose a few weeks ago to have her do her thing.
And oh look, it's.
Been really cool to watch, you know, being an athlete myself and watching her go out there and then do her thing is it's full circle.
And let me just give you real quickly, just give you a props and appreciation man, because it's not hard. I don't think a lot of people understand and appreciate going from being a big fellow, a big guy for you know, most of your career, and then to be able to trim down.
Man, kudos to you, man, look good. I appreciate it.
I see pietres of myself in the old days or the yeah, the old days. I'm just like geez man, and I was I was big, you know what I mean, but uh, still athletic big. But yeah, it's a night and day.
Yeah, Malik. I just a little advice, save some of this stuff for the air.
We're still in commercial right now, so we want to get you no this is this is not live commercial.
You're doing great.
No, listen.
We we were watching something this this.
Week that just brought a smile to our face, like you always do. We're gonna play the clip right now. We want to talk about hype speeches. You've been to the Super Bowl, You've been with a whole bunch of different guys who bring the juice before the game. I want you to first watch this one first, because no matter what you think about the Browns or life or anything, this this cracks us up. Go ahead, roll jamis.
Right now what happens in my dream?
What do you think of a backup quarterback giving that speech in August before a preseason game.
I think it's a beautiful thing. I think he needs to save some of that for the season. You know, it's just preseason dogs and starters aren't playing. But he's given the young guys hype.
You know. I think it's cool to be able.
To let the guys that are playing, that are on the bubble really working to get an opportunity to understand what it's like to be in the NFL game and what it's like to play for NFL team. And then it's the preseason. I think, uh, you know, I think the sign likes it because he can stand back, keep throwing, warming up his arm and let let the backup quarterback take that.
But it's a it's really cool.
Let's jump around the league quickly. We saw von Miller was injured with the Bills. You know, a couple of years back. He tried to get back last season, really didn't get back.
True to form.
You know him so well, having played with him in.
That Super Bowl.
How do you see his potential return to potential going with the Bills and how badly does that defense need it.
I think they need him.
I think that he's a stud still, you know, I think in the in the in the game, you know, being retired, you understand it's a it's a very violent sport. You know, when you're in it, you don't you don't associate violence with it, right, You're just like, oh, I'm just go out there and smash my face on somebody else's.
It's it is what it is.
But then when you watch you understand, you know, the cut blocks and really the potential for injuries. It's tough, but I think Bond's a real pro. He really puts his best foot forward and when it comes to coming back stronger than ever, especially with injuries, I think he's one of the best at it. So I think he's going to come back and be the Vond of old and I'm.
Excited to see it.
You know, I think this is what year, like twenty four He's almost like Mercedes Lewis for a many Yeah, I'm like just Keith popping.
He he'll never go away. I said, it's nice on this side, man.
Retirement is nice man, you know, you know, but it's hard to give up the situation.
Yeah, Malik, you know, football is family and it's such a fraternity amongst the ex players.
We have the NFL Legends community.
And hate to take this turn, but I know it's a story you want to talk about. Back on July fourteenth, we lost one of the great NFL returnment. Jacoby Jones played nine years in the league.
When the Super Bowl with the Ravens.
Was a huge personality and beloved in both Houston and Baltimore. And I know you had a close personal relationship with him. Please share your thoughts on your friend, as we weren't on the air when we got that horrible news, and we thought it'd be best if you wanted to talk about the legacy.
He leads, Yeah, no it. You know, it was a sad story when it broke. I was able to play against someone when we were in Denver, I want to say two thousand and thirteen fourteen when they beat us to go to the Super Bowl. They won the Super Bowl. I believe it was just the forty nine ers that year. You know, it's just a sad story, especially when he's like a brother in arms, you know, somebody that really goes out there and works hard. And I think when situations like this arise, you know, you see, you see yourself right, and you want to make sure that you're doing the best you can to make sure that your health is taken care of. And you know, it just sucks because we really go out there as NFL guys and put our lives on the line, and then in retirement, you know, we think that we're going to be able to live and live and just have opportunity to to just take advantage of our full lives and when the life is cut short like that from something that could have been prevented from just a test or two, you know, it really really sucks. So you know, that's what really pushes me to help, you know, build my company careing and partners, to help guys just get the tests they need, understand the health protocols, you know, get back out there. Because the one thing I think people don't understand is that when you're in an NFL, you get a training room and it's like second to none, it's first class, better than first class. And then you retire and your agent leaves you, you know, the locker room leaves you. Sometimes your girl leaves you, right so you're just sitting there alone and it's a it's a lonely feeling. So you know, just really want to get guys just to understand and that they're not alone and there's things out there that they can utilize that the NFL provides and you know, other people out there helping them put their best foot forward. And it also wants to you know, really push me to say, I R Peter Ronnie Hillman and the Marius Thomas, you know, two guys I played with that passed away way too soon. So you know, I see myself in a lot a lot of these guys, and so you know, for me, it's like I gotta do everything to make sure that I can say with my daughter as long as I can, and so yeah, it sucks, and.
I just want to say thank you for saying that. For running Hillman, a good friend of mine, rest in peace. You know, so many guys, you know, they go through that transition, and a lot of people don't cover how dark it is when you go from being in a brotherhood in the locker room and getting all the love and the adulation, and then you just kind of fade off into silence and you start to feel like nobody cares who am I?
What am I? You know, you go through this identity crisis.
So I really appreciate you bringing that and giving Jacoby Jones his love as well.
Appreciate thank you. I appreciate that.
Come back in any time, all right, we'll have young Good morning football. We love hearing what you brought to the game and you played, but more importantly, truly what you're doing for football players now as they try to do what you're doing so successfully.
I appreciate that.
Thanksolutely Lee, Jackson everybody remembering, as he likes to say, his brother in arms. And Jacoby Jones, who is a Super Bowl champion, a longtime player in the league, lost him this summer and he's gone too soon.
Yo, welcome back to Good Morning Football. Joining us now a legend, always hilarious friend of the show comedian Chris rad What up, Cress?
How are we doing? What's going on?
Man?
I was just playing football with a ton of big, big guys. So you know, you know how it is early in the morning time, wanting to.
Get you and your bad dude, just talk to you about listen.
Five seasons down sn L, five seasons U. Everyone has their tryout story, Like right now, all the players are going through training camp. They always remember their first training camp, first time making the team. What was your Lorne Michaels trying out for SNL story like this.
All right?
Well, the first the first time because I auditioned twice, right, and the first time I was I was nervous.
I was walking through the halls and my eyes was all.
Big, and I didn't get the show and I was salty and I was like I don't need this, damn.
So I don't need anybody.
And so then they told me back and I was like, nah, they said no, I was. I was feeling like, you know, like a girl that turned you down and came back and you was popping. I was like, no, I don't want I don't want it, and you'll go straight to the callbacks.
And I was like, I, but I still don't care. So I went. I went in there.
I had taken I had like a couple of drinks and I went into this audition and it was just like a part of like five of the shows that night.
So I was I had been, I had been torn NonStop.
I killed it and then they and they flew me out and then I was still acting like.
I didn't want to because I was still salty.
Didn't hi him the first time, and then uh, I think it was the it was the foe not acting like I wanted it that really helped me push me over the edge. And uh, and then Lauren called me and I was in Detroit. I remember I was having a he not a drinking at a show, not just alone. But I just got you know, I just got a clip.
I haven't contact.
And then he called me and I didn't have pants on and for some reason, I felt like that mattered so soon as it was like hands on and I'm like, you don't he can't see me, but I feel like you can tell if a man talking to you with no pants on, you know what I mean?
And I felt like.
Correct, you know, uh, but then he could. He called me.
He's like, he asked me if I want to move to New York the way he the way he like to you on the show. He don't be like you're on the show. He just has a casual conversation with you. I just wait for him to say, am I hired?
You know what I mean? And so he was like, what you New York City? Like if I have a job, man, you have to have a job, you know.
And so I love it great.
Look, we know you did all these impersonations and sketches on SNL and we could ask you to do some or you but I actually before that want to know of all the athletes that came through as hosts, who was the one that had the best comedy chops?
Yeah?
Oh well, uh, Charles Barkley is a legend in that in that area.
You know what I'm saying.
That man is very, very very funny even when he ain't trying to be Charles.
Charles Barkley is hilarious. J. J.
Watts killed it though, like that boy, that boy, that funny man. Yeah, he's and we had a whole lot of fun. The week he was on, I thought he was going to quit football jump in the comedy. Yes, I felt. But then I saw how much you make and I was like, don't do that. You know what I mean, there's a lot more money when you had play Boy.

He did not like it.
I remember literally seeing it after the show and I was like, what's up, Yanks, I'm a huge fanly what's up?
Yeah?
He had his back turning me like this, and like everybody in the circle he was talking to day, he was talking to Chappelle, He's talking a bunch of famous people's essing them right, And I'm like.
Yeah, what's going on? How you're doing? And he was just like I'm like, yeah, man, I had fun too, all right?

Uh.
I just a with stephen A on his podcast and he was, uh, it was so much fun.
We just went stephen A stephen A and I also did this is before Esten l I was on. It was like A fifty cent had a show and I think he had two iterations up the first one and I did h and I did an impression of fifty to fifty cent.
She he basically walks in. I'm like, I'm fifty ak for.

Do you practice them like this in front of your zoom?
Is it a mere thing? And do you have any new.

I don't like impressions like that. I like characters.
I like characters, and I think I learned to like impressions at the show. Uh, and then I found impressions that I like to do at the show. But my favorite characters that do are people that I've met, you know what I mean. I had I knew this dude, let's let's call him Willie. I didn't really know his name, but he was outside of my job every every day, and he was high. And when he wasn't high, funny, you know, I would give him some money when he wasn't high because I was trying to help him be high less.
It's building him schedule, you know what I mean.
I think I was building about people.
