Good Morning Football is the production of the NFL in
0:06
partnership with iHeartRadio.
0:22
Good Morning Football.
0:24
The final countdown
0:27
is.
0:29
Welcoming everybody, Good
0:31
Morning Football Live in New York City
0:33
for one more hour.
0:35
On Friday, March twenty ninth.
0:37
Colleen Wolf here with Kyle Brant, Jason mccordy,
0:40
Devin McCarty.
0:41
We met all of the mccordy's yesterday.
0:43
That was incredible.
0:44
Kyle also mentioned that he was wearing a
0:46
sports bra yesterday for sweating
0:49
protection, which I had a lot of follow
0:51
up questions on that and never really got a chance.
0:53
It's very simple.
0:54
But you can look back first year of the show,
0:56
I'd be sitting here in.
0:57
My button up shirt, just an ocean of
1:00
perspiration.
1:00
Absolutely disgusting. Twitter people
1:03
just killing me, killing me. So I
1:05
found a product, Thompson T's, and they've been sending him
1:07
since. You know, Steve Smith Senior told me about these
1:09
things. He's like, you gotta wear Thompson T's and
1:11
it's like it's like basically a sports fraud.
1:14
It's under it's like cut here and under here. But
1:16
it keeps me looking halfway decent.
1:18
There's some guys that wear maxiwbads
1:20
and I.
1:22
Tried that, So that's just like a little out
1:25
there. But listen, I mentioned Steve Smith Senior.
1:27
It's a really important thing today our last show that originates
1:29
from New York City. Jason had some memories
1:31
earlier today. I'm going to share some thoughts shortly this hour
1:33
about all the people here. But a really
1:36
important part of the show that we put on for
1:38
years is the people who come into this table
1:40
when one of the original four is out, as
1:42
Colleen is doing today. So I wanted to just make
1:44
sure we acknowledge all those people, especially
1:47
people like Sean O'Hara who've been coming in here for
1:49
years with them countless shows.
1:51
Sarah Walls, mj D.
1:53
Mike Robinson did a ton a ton
1:55
of shows. Was always great. Steve Smith Senior, Cameron
1:57
Wolf, Mike Garrifolo, obviously, Rachel
2:00
Bennetta did a lot of shows. Adam Rank
2:02
incredible contributor. Jane Slater has been here many
2:04
times. Their name goes on and on, Tom Pel,
2:07
Sarah Joel McCoy. There's a lot of times when
2:09
someone's out here, or two people aren't here, or three
2:11
people aren't here, and we can't have a show, and those Ploet
2:13
people come into New York and our crazy hours and our crazy
2:15
show and you're really part of the family. So all of
2:17
you, especially you Sean bo You're my boy.
2:20
There you go, Sean, I love it, Bud, thank you.
2:21
For all you guys. Oh that was so nice.
2:24
It was sort of like the an award when
2:26
you win at the Oscars or the Grammys.
2:28
Once you start down that road of the.
2:29
Name Somebody's I get left on.
2:32
You're gonna get some texts.
2:34
But I do have one last beef too.
2:36
And Jason like, if this is our last show from New York,
2:39
there's something about the show, this is all it's supposed
2:41
to be all positive, something about the show that I hate that,
2:43
you know, I hate that. Everybody in the staff knows. I hate
2:45
Colleen. Go ahead and read what's in the prompert. We're gonna address
2:47
something.
2:48
Go aheadkay, here we go.
2:49
Time for the lead block.
2:51
Lead block, here comes, here
2:53
comes, and just freeze it right there.
2:55
I know what it is.
2:56
I hate that blue football helmet so much.
2:59
It sits there every hour of every
3:01
show. And we start our conversation with all this energy
3:04
and to have all this insight, and we started
3:06
with a stock image of a random
3:08
blue football helmet. Don't squint, it's not a New
3:10
York Giants helmet. It's just blue. We
3:12
are the NFL. We can show anything we want. We don't
3:15
have to show a generic helmet. It's like when
3:17
Patrick Mahomes is in the commercial for the pizza
3:19
and he's not wearing a Chiefs jersey. It's just red
3:21
or whatever. That's what we have started every
3:23
hour of every show with I'm talking about for years.
3:26
Can we please not show the stupid, dumb
3:28
stock blue football helmet.
3:30
That thing is impenetrable.
3:31
It would outsurvive cockroaches, it would outs survive
3:33
nuclear fallout. It'll be on the show for years and years
3:35
ago, show's moving to California. I would bet my life
3:38
the blue football helmet is Therefore, I hope it's
3:40
not. I hate you blue football homet I love
3:42
so many things about the show, Jason, you know how much I
3:44
hate that thing.
3:45
I hate? What are we doing?
3:46
The only thing you might hate more? On everybody
3:48
coming together for someone's birth Oh
3:51
my gosh, as adults, happy
3:53
forty third birthday.
3:54
That's the nigger one forty three, forty three.
3:57
Yea, yeah, that might be the only thing.
3:59
I never want to see that blue football helmet again. We're
4:02
better than that. I guess we're not, but I
4:04
feel like what happened for years.
4:05
Welcome to Good Morning Football Festivus.
4:08
It is a tradition that now we will start
4:10
and continue on.
4:11
I love it.
4:12
This is Does anyone ever see the helmet? Be like we should
4:14
dress it up a little. This is a successful show. There's
4:16
a city shot of New York that looks way better at helmet.
4:18
I figured out helmet.
4:21
Yeah.
4:21
It's also like the face mask is so arcas.
4:24
No one where's that anymore. It's not there's no
4:26
drip, there's no riz, there's nothing, and
4:28
we just show it nine times.
4:30
Miles shows the graphics here on Good
4:33
Morning poses.
4:34
My biggest takeaway to see it.
4:35
It's gorgeous.
4:36
It's the final out go Are
4:38
we done?
4:40
Show the credits.
4:42
Let's take back to the first
4:44
ever episode of GMFB
4:46
and the first guest who joined
4:49
the show back on on the first
4:51
of twenty sixteen.
4:52
Then Bucks quarterback Jameis Winston.
4:55
Kyle made sure to ask the important
4:57
questions on this one.
5:00
Jamis, We're not going to let you leave without talking about
5:02
twitsy Wilson and why You're Abdoodle.
5:05
Has an Instagram account. How is to win?
5:09
Of course, I'm.
5:09
Sorry, I don't know who Totty Winston. Excuse
5:12
me, of course I'm following the wrong account. Tell
5:14
us about to Winston.
5:15
Jamis.
5:16
She's my gorgeous labradoodo. It's
5:18
kind of like my baby girl, and I
5:20
love her. She's so she's so exciting
5:22
and fun to play with. I hate
5:24
it because, you know, everyone Mike Evans
5:27
always say what my niece doing, you
5:29
know, and Uncle Mike is always a
5:31
big support of her. But she's
5:34
amazing. One thing about dogs, you know, you
5:36
can come in from a long day and it could
5:38
be a bad day, but they're so loyal and
5:41
uh, they always gonna put a smile on your face. So
5:43
I love my dogs.
5:46
Jamis was a big deal at the time. Yeah, I told
5:48
the story.
5:49
Recently, Peter booked that guest personally because that
5:51
was the first show we need to really show something, and Peter
5:54
personally booked Jamis, which I wish we could
5:56
have done more of over the years, especially recently.
5:57
But you know, I love about that. I messed it up to
6:00
Wilson. I called it
6:03
it's.
6:03
Like, obviously it's Winston's James, James Wilson
6:05
moron all
6:07
the time.
6:08
You know what you're saying a lot of words, not all of them
6:10
are going to be correct.
6:11
That's what happened.
6:12
So we'll bring it back to twenty twenty
6:14
four, and in honor of Jamis
6:16
and his dog Tootsie, let's talk
6:18
about which player or coach needs to play
6:21
with that dog in him this season.
6:22
Jez.
6:22
So, we played that whole clip of Jameis
6:25
Winston talking about his dog from the first ever
6:27
episode, just to ask who got that dog
6:29
in them?
6:30
That was why didn't do this?
6:31
That was why.
6:32
That was why I watched you jack it up
6:34
and ask the question we want to shout out to, like the Chris
6:36
Schwarz, like the the A block Master.
6:39
No doubt about light bulb over his head for that one.
6:41
And Nippolo is probably involved to.
6:43
Schwartz's job is hard because he comes up with
6:45
these A blocks for us to talk about the next day on
6:47
the show. And all we do in our little dog
6:50
Colin Peter, just like, what the hell
6:53
we're over the show, We're talking dog. I
6:55
can't stand dog in them conversations.
6:57
Why don't we just do X Factor? How about
6:59
we do Sorry, I digress.
7:00
I'm supposed to come up with somebody to go
7:03
with.
7:03
Yeah, right, Grilla,
7:05
just that's the best I could do produce.
7:07
There's also Mark Gorilla's way of saying, oh, I did
7:09
the A box and taking credit. He wanted to make sure
7:11
on the last lest we give any credit to Chris
7:13
Schwartz.
7:14
Mark Kristen. So why did you say we're
7:17
having a whole play here?
7:18
We sound crazy.
7:19
We're just talking. We're talking to you said, I can't do.
7:21
We love the producers of this show.
7:24
This is the last episode. It's like the hell with it
7:26
in New York City.
7:27
We're just gonna have a blast. I'm going with Mike
7:29
McCarthy. He needs to have that dog.
7:32
Give aout, Michaelcarthy. Right now, this
7:34
is the thing.
7:35
Just talk about the Dallas Cowboys and you're
7:37
going to get people to tune. And he
7:39
needs that dog because they got their I
7:42
started to go off
7:45
the Green Bay Packers. Absolutely put
7:47
his spanking on them at home. When everybody
7:50
has Super Bowl aspirations for these Dallas
7:52
Cowboys. When I say everybody, I mean me
7:54
because I started our show in September with a Michael
7:56
Parsons Jersey all and I said the Dallas
7:59
Cowboys were going to defeat the Baltimore
8:01
Ravens in Super Bowl fifty
8:03
seven.
8:03
That did not happen. They're still
8:05
giving up touchdowns.
8:06
They were down twenty seven to zero in
8:09
the first half of this game. Now
8:11
he has a cornerback going into the last year of
8:13
his deal.
8:13
They signed a running back.
8:15
In the off season, a long snapper, a
8:17
linebacker, and a cornerback. That was the
8:19
That was their off season acquisitions. And you
8:21
guys, if I actually couldn't name any of those
8:24
people in the.
8:24
Positions that I just said.
8:26
So for the Dallas Cowboys, Mike McCarthy,
8:28
he's gonna have to have a ton of dog
8:31
in them to get going.
8:32
Empty the bag. New York City Dead
8:35
follow it up with I'm all for that, man, Mike McCarthy.
8:37
Come out, get a dog. Bring your dog.
8:39
You might have a dog at home, Bring your dog, walk through the tunnel.
8:41
Needs to do nuts, but who needs
8:43
that dog in him. I'm gonna be fast. I feel like a bench
8:46
player today. Come off, If I shoot
8:48
my first shot, I'm making it might let me stay
8:50
in. If you make it. Hey, that's a great
8:52
amount. I'm gonna get in and get up. You've been
8:54
Jock, you're deep on
8:57
the bench.
8:57
Because Kyle went through the list of the host over the
8:59
years, I've been here like Colleen Mady you
9:01
did and so you only got you're the fifteenth personally.
9:03
Having episodes of yeah, yeah, I
9:06
don't make the cast list.
9:07
We love you. Yeah, given some gold.
9:09
I'm going to a Tungua bayaloa to
9:12
what has to because a year ago is like
9:14
Kenny, stay healthy and when like you think about
9:16
that person, I got that dog in him.
9:17
They're always healthy. They always show up.
9:19
They pull up to the game ready to go.
9:21
So yes, they gotta go win a playoff game after
9:24
freezing in Kansas City last year and
9:26
taking that out. But also for twa
9:28
it's not just about the Miami Dolphins and then winner.
9:31
You gotta get paid, young man, get
9:34
paid contract year.
9:35
All these other quarterbacks they got the new big deals.
9:38
The jail in Hurst of the worlds to Joe Burrows,
9:40
all of that.
9:41
All you've been doing is slinging the rock down in Miami
9:44
yards everywhere, Tyreek Hills killing,
9:46
jail and Waddle's killing. You need to go get
9:48
paid to it this year, go put on a performance,
9:51
seventeen games healthy, get
9:53
to the conference championship, the lease, and
9:56
get that dog in you too.
9:58
Let's go.
9:58
That's absolutely great, and I think it's perfect answer
10:01
that way. I'm gonna pull back the curtain a little bit. Big
10:03
surprise here. Thequestions are not sprung on us.
10:05
I'll just let you know we know the questions ahead of time. Sometimes
10:08
you're well prepared. Sometimes I don't
10:10
know, but I'm just ad living this. I had
10:12
nothing for this. So this this Google
10:14
dot comes out in the night before this is the
10:16
morning show. The questions are there, and then it'll
10:18
say, like Jason, Devin,
10:21
Colleen Kyle, let me put whatever you might be
10:23
thoughts are. So I see this question, all
10:25
right, and I'm looking at the question. I'm thinking, you know
10:27
what I want to.
10:28
Go with TUA? And I look Tua, and the
10:32
guest does get Tua, and then I, you know, would
10:34
be could Michael McCarthy.
10:36
You know.
10:38
The worst feeling ever You're sitting there, you
10:40
know, trying to make dinner with your kids or whatever,
10:43
like I don't have time to answer all these questions,
10:45
and so you finally rack your brand you're like, oh,
10:47
yeah, yes, I got the answer, and then you look and you're
10:49
like, this guy.
10:50
Already guys that answer.
10:51
And then sometimes you get the email back to the producer,
10:53
BA, sorry that one was already taken.
10:55
Jason always preempts me on these because
10:57
I don't put mine in until like early in the
10:59
morning, like I'll wake up. I'm not someone who.
11:01
Canst what happened.
11:03
People was answer questions fast, and I was like,
11:05
dang, I gotta get my who'd
11:08
you up?
11:09
Well, what's funny is that I was, you know, I'm
11:11
in kind of bleep it motory now I was, you
11:13
know, I'll do to it anyway. But then Peter's
11:16
voice in my head, Peter hates it when both
11:18
people have not Its bad television,
11:20
right, Why would the producers let that happen?
11:22
Tell them not to ask? And it's like kind of right.
11:24
So you know what I did.
11:26
I took extra time out of my home life
11:29
and I did the work and I came up with
11:31
Kyle Shanahan great.
11:33
Imagine what's he
11:35
thinking about both days? I know he's he's in
11:38
brilliant and his greats and he's competitive.
11:40
It's gotta be tough.
11:41
I mean it's got to be tough to get back
11:43
off the mat. I mean, he's
11:46
lost two super Bowls to the same
11:48
team. The other year before that looked like they
11:50
were going to one of the quarterback outs here. It's
11:52
been really hard, and it's been two super Bowls
11:54
that, you know, let's be honest, like probably could
11:56
have won probably one. I was looking
11:58
up, you know, I was looking at Marv Levy back in the day.
12:01
He imagine a head coach. He loses four straight
12:03
super Bowl and Marv Levy is an American
12:06
treasurer, he has a military background, He's just
12:08
an incredible guy. And he was saying
12:10
things like, in a way, that's the best thing that ever
12:12
happened, like are you serious, coaches, But
12:14
he had spun it into like it was the journey and
12:16
it's who I am today. So I hope Kyle
12:18
Shannon is and here's sitting here ten years from now, being
12:21
like losing that third Super Bowl
12:23
and twenty four the best thing that ever happened
12:25
to me. It must be tough psychologically for him
12:27
to get off the mat. And I hope he can do it, because if
12:29
he were to win that thing and get that troph being
12:31
that confetti and that Niners fans
12:34
like, I'd.
12:34
Be pretty sweet.
12:35
I'm rooting for you a while, but man, you better have that dog.
12:37
You better have a pack of dogs. Man, it's been tough the.
12:39
Confetti test, Like I can I can picture.
12:41
It's been so close so many times.
12:44
It's so funny because I was like, do I do Kyle
12:46
Shanahan And I was going
12:48
back and forth because I picked Dak Prescott.
12:50
But in the document, I was like, Jason's
12:53
going with me.
12:54
He doesn't like that.
12:56
But I'm sorry, Peter, because it really is
12:58
Dak Prescott.
12:59
He's oh he did it. I'm doing it. Ran
13:01
through the stops.
13:03
I'm out of time, Like I'm
13:04
trying trying to get dressed. I got a lot of stuff
13:07
going over, Like, uh.
13:08
Going to pick her? Is Dak was
13:10
the one you hate?
13:11
Dak?
13:11
So listen O. This just
13:14
shows that I am fair and balanced.
13:15
Because I am talking about the fact that Dak
13:18
Prescott needs to deliver.
13:20
He is the quarterback on the most
13:22
visible and valuable team in
13:24
the entire NFL. Ian Rappaport
13:27
reported earlier.
13:28
This week that there will be no
13:30
tweaks.
13:31
Made to his contract going into
13:33
this season, so when people were watching the playoffs
13:35
last year, which we.
13:36
Talked about that game. Jason talked about that game.
13:38
They absolutely collapsed and no one thought that they were
13:41
going to lose to the Packers, and they just
13:43
I mean, are you kidding me?
13:44
The way that they ended up losing.
13:46
This is so important for
13:48
not only Mike McCarthy, not
13:50
only for Dak Prescott, but for Jerry
13:53
Jones and the Cowboys to finally get over
13:55
the hump and to deliver. Like Dak Prescott
13:57
is going to get paid no matter where
13:59
he goes, but this is a
14:01
huge opportunity for him to cash.
14:03
In onand out about it all right? That
14:06
dogging them gus a few.
14:08

15:14
Carolina quarterback Drake May
15:16
taking part in yesterday's Pro Day
15:18
After not throwing at the NFL scouting
15:20
combine, May not afraid to show
15:23
off the arm, throwing seventy
15:25
plus passes, which is way.
15:27
More than a normal amount for a
15:29
pro day.
15:30
Our guy is Mike Garrofolo and Steve
15:32
Smith Senior sat down with May to
15:34
talk about his performance.
15:36
Why did you believe in having so many
15:39
passes thrown? Because normally in
15:41
these pro days is it's kind of the easy
15:43
thing. You know, you do thirty or forty passes, You're
15:45
going about your business. You doubled
15:47
that. What was what was the premise behind all of
15:50
them?
15:50
Yeah, just do to full workout. I think you know, it's my first time really
15:52
showed anybody you know what I'm you know what I'm about.
15:54
You know, Combin didn't do anything. I just did measurements
15:56
and interviews. So really my first time working out for the teams.
15:58
You know, I want to give them, you know, this is this is me, this is Drake
16:01
May and let it ride and thinking up having seventy
16:03
throws so kind of hit them all and just
16:05
trying to, you know, let it rip out there.
16:07
One more before I let you go. You met with the
16:09
Commanders today. You also
16:11
met with the Patriots. Both had large contingents.
16:13
You've got a giant's workout coming up. Don't worry. You don't have
16:15
to confirm that I got it through the sources. You
16:17
got another team at least think earlier next week. So what's
16:20
been the highlights of these meetings for you
16:22
with some of these teams? And I know it's going back to the combine
16:24
as well.
16:24
Yeah, I think just learning their stuff. You know, I like to call
16:26
myself intelligence. Just learn their stuff, picking it up
16:28
and to relate it back to them. I think the best part
16:30
is learning these different offices and learn how these great offensive
16:33
mines do different things and kind of how it compares
16:35
to each other. Has been the coolest part for me.
16:37
Well, I'm seeing him just like look right directly
16:40
into the camera the whole time. The inaugural
16:42
Big twelve Pro day taking place
16:44
at the Star in Frisco, Texas, Central
16:46
Florida. QB John Rice plumb Lee
16:49
was not invited to the NFL scouting combines,
16:51
so this was his time to shine in front
16:53
of coaches and scouts. A very Jaane
16:55
Slater caught up with them after the workout and talked
16:57
about a familiar phase he had out
16:59
there helping him run through the drills.
17:02
I couldn't help but notice that we recognize from your
17:04
face I covered the Cowboys tree Lance out there.
17:06
Talk to me about that relationship.
17:07
He was actually walking through the scripted place.
17:09
Yeah, he's he's been unbelievable
17:11
help in training up to this day. We
17:14
both trained with Jeff Christiansen, who's I've
17:16
been training with a quarterback coach that's here in
17:18
Dallas, and he does an amazing job, also
17:20
trains Trey and so we threw every
17:23
day together, right, and so's he's seen me since
17:25
when I first got to Dallas to now where
17:27
I feel like I'm really polished and nice, and so he's
17:29
been there every step of the way. And I only thought it'd
17:31
be right if Trey was out there helping me go through the script
17:33
and getting those guys right. And so again, I can't I
17:35
can't thank him enough. He's a baller, he's a bass
17:38
He's a real deal for sure.
17:39
The Big Twelve making history
17:42
with the first ever conference
17:44
wide Pro Day. We have two more
17:47
days left, but for a recap of Day
17:49
one and look ahead to tonight's
17:51
action, let's send it out to RHTT Lewis
17:53
and our guys out in Texas.
17:56
Rett Lewis, Daniel Jeremiah, Charles Davis
17:58
back up here in the Ford Center
18:00
Broadcast booth here from the Star Frisco,
18:02
Texas. What a cool opportunity to be
18:04
involved in the first ever conference
18:07
wide Pro Day here with the Big Twelve getting
18:09
together all the schools letting their players showcase
18:12
their skills. And man, we did get some highlights on day
18:14
one, right with the quarterbacks, wide receivers
18:16
in the tight ends out there up first.
18:18
Yeah.
18:18
Fun to watch all these different rivals
18:20
right in the same conference out there competing
18:23
together, rooting for one another and trying to
18:25
up their draft stock.
18:26
Yeah, what I'm really excited about with this being
18:28
the first how about a shout out to the commissioner,
18:31
Brett Jormart, who took the job and
18:33
talked about doing somebody this right away.
18:35
He has to be so proud to see this come out
18:37
of the ground and be become a reality
18:40
and have it be successful right out of the gate.
18:42
Yeah, I mean talk about trying to elevate
18:44
the conference in every way possible. This is another
18:46
great opportunity to do. So great opportunity
18:48
tonight for the running backs in the defensive
18:51
backs to take center stage. What are
18:53
we looking for here DJ out of those groups?
18:54
Well, I always say with workouts, the dbs have the
18:57
most to gain of anybody.
18:58
It's a speed position.
18:59
You have to be able to run. So get a chance
19:01
to come out here and prove yourself, put a fast forty
19:03
time out there, and then up with a good field workout.
19:06
And we have a number of players here who went to the
19:08
Combine and are now in this one
19:10
and they have things to prove. And speaking of runners,
19:12
how about the running back of Money Bailey from TCU,
19:15
who is going to go through everything because
19:17
he wanted to prove that he could run faster than he did
19:19
the combine. I'm looking forward to seeing if he can
19:21
get past that time he had in Indianapolis.
19:24
And then probably showcase some of that fluidity
19:26
that we saw in those positional drills. So
19:28
we'll have all that for you, the forties, the field
19:30
drills and all the fun as
19:32
the dvs and running backs kickoff night
19:35
two for us.
19:35
We'll see you tonight at eight eastern.
19:37
So Good Morning Football started in twenty
19:40
sixteen, which feels like an absolute
19:42
eternity ago at this point.
19:44
What was the world back then?
19:47
Like?
19:47
What was it like in the NFL?
19:48
Peyton Manning had announced his retirement after
19:50
winning Super Bowl fifty, a rookie named
19:53
Ezekiel Elliott was I
19:55
mean just taking the NFL by storm
19:57
exactly. And then the Rams they
19:59
were returning to Los Angeles. It feels like
20:01
they never left at this point. The most
20:03
twenties sixteen thing that you can
20:06
think of, what.
20:06
Do you got, jam, I'm going with the good versus
20:09
Evil Kermit meme that was
20:11
all Oh, people were coming
20:14
up with their own ideas, And this is
20:16
what I love about Good Morning Football. You bring
20:18
up the meme and we just have a stop
20:21
Kermit. Nothing to permit,
20:25
and you thought about it at that time, you would say
20:27
something like, hey, I'm thinking my wife she
20:29
apologized. Everything's good, and then the evil
20:31
side of you is like, no, pretend like you're man,
20:33
So you guess I'm a old time.
20:35
It's just like the kids.
20:36
They learned their lessons. You're like, you know what, punish
20:38
them and make them clean the house. And you're like, all right,
20:40
the last New York Good morning football show.
20:42
You're like, go out with a bang. You're like, no, just.
20:44
Start flipping Frontdysel.
20:50
I got Beyonce the Lemonade album.
20:53
It was like overnight, out of nowhere, an
20:56
album, surfboard.
20:57
And all of that. No,
20:59
No, it was sorry, it was sorry.
21:01
It was it was Jay Z's and Fidelius.
21:04
It was the it was it
21:06
was the feminine movement. All women
21:09
loved it.
21:09
But it wasn't just the album, sixty
21:11
five minute movie to Go Aloud.
21:14
Album, Beautiful, Gorgeous, associated
21:17
the greatest album.
21:18
Ever, really jails
21:21
like everything Puppets,
21:23
Oh great, all right, go ahead, what do you got?
21:24
Colleen's honestly like Lemonade changed
21:27
my life. It felt like I loved it so much.
21:29
I watched it so many times I listened
21:31
to it so many times, but also Hamilton
21:34
like, I know that.
21:34
That seems cliche, but I
21:37
wasn't.
21:38
I didn't go or see it until years
21:40
later, and so.
21:41
I felt like I was super late to the party. And I
21:43
was like, guys, do you know about Hamilton?
21:46
Has anyone heard about
21:48
this?
21:48
I know the songs are so catchy, And
21:50
then the remix that they did it was also
21:53
like everything.
21:53
About it was great.
21:54
I'm going to be actually quoting Hamilton later on when I
21:56
see you are I Am. Twenty sixteen
21:58
was when we started as a show, and I remember
22:01
the whole initiative of the show is just light
22:03
and fun and positive and life light levity.
22:05
It's people want to wake up and smile.
22:06
And we did that and we started
22:09
that in August first to twenty sixteen
22:11
for about a week okay, and it was going okay,
22:13
yeah, and I remember we got an email and this is heavy.
22:15
We got an email from one of our bosses
22:17
at the NFL. I think it was on a Sunday night,
22:19
and they said, just want everyone to know there's a big story
22:22
developing. During the national anthem for the Niners
22:24
game, Colin Kaepernick has taken a knee and
22:26
that whole thing started in our first first
22:29
preseason ever, so one week into the show,
22:31
we've gone from the Kermit memes and the lemonade
22:33
to freedom of speech, respect
22:35
for the military, and it was like we
22:37
had to adapt fast, and
22:40
Nate and Kay and Peter and myself we're like, well, we
22:42
got all this fun stuff planned and then we're talking
22:44
about really really heavy important
22:46
things and Trump is saying his things and so like that
22:48
fun light show lasted about a week and
22:51
then we had to show that we're not just about messing
22:53
around and goofing off like.
22:54
It got serious very fast. I've always always proud
22:56
of how we handled that. But a lot of things from
22:58
twenty.
22:58
So I could have just said the damn Danielle, but I
23:00
wanted to.
23:01
Go with something a little more. We were a part of us.
23:03
Yeah, and I know you are, like, if.
23:05
We're being real, the election was what twenty
23:07
sixteen.
23:07
Years was all about.
23:08
And then I was like, oh yeah, people were dub smashing I guess
23:11
too, and like doing like weird things on social
23:13
but I mean Lemonade that
23:15
helped out, and Hamilton was awesome,
23:17
But the show was really like such
23:20
a It was like a therapeutic.
23:22
Kind of thing for everyone.
23:24
It still is, it remains that way.
23:35
Good Morning Football, Well,
23:38
Peter, I've been in New York for about forty eight hours.
23:40
The best wide receiver gets banged up, the Yankees
23:42
got swept, and it rained all weekend. But I'm
23:44
still going to say, good Morning Football, New York City.
23:47
I like honor to be here. It is a privilege
23:49
to work here. And I brought two kids under three,
23:51
three thousand miles to get here.
23:52
Good Morning Football, New York City.
23:55
That was Good Morning Football Show one segment
23:58
one from right here in
24:00
New York City. And those two kids under
24:03
three that we moved to New York with, one
24:05
is now a fourth grade Steelers fanatic
24:07
and his sister is a second grade lacrosse
24:10
plain Travis Kelce fan.
24:12
I remember in that first.
24:13
Show we talked about Reggie Bush visiting
24:16
Bill's camp and a heated practice
24:18
between Odell and Janoris Jenkins.
24:21
I also remember at that time I had eighteen
24:23
months guaranteed on my contract
24:26
and my wife and I said, well, if
24:28
the show is terrible, at least we
24:30
have eighteen months to figure out how to move back to
24:33
LA and maybe Jim Rome will give you
24:35
my old job back. But in
24:37
New York you can be a new man. And eighteen
24:40
months in New York City became
24:42
eight years. It became over
24:44
eighteen hundred episodes,
24:46
and it became home at the breakfast
24:48
table.
24:49
We have always acted.
24:51
Like New York was our fifth host because
24:54
we are.
24:54
Engulfed by it.
24:55
Here right now, where I'm standing, there
24:57
is a pizza joint right there, there's a bodega,
25:00
there is a smoke shop. There's
25:02
Wall Street right around the corner. And yeah, there
25:04
is a New Yorker scowling at me right now. Hello,
25:07
ma'am, thank you for watching. This is New York
25:09
and this has been our playground, and I'm very sad to
25:11
leave it because on a playground, you
25:14
have friends, and there are
25:16
now friends that we don't get to play
25:18
with anymore. These are people who I
25:20
say good morning to before I even
25:22
speak to my wife.
25:24
Now.
25:24
Peter hates it when someone comes on the show and
25:26
hypes up a team by just listing the players'
25:28
names, and he's right, but I'm
25:30
doing it anyway because this is my favorite
25:33
team and they've been stacking wins since twenty
25:35
sixteen. There are so many people who
25:37
make this show and among them as a list of people
25:39
I personally work closely with and
25:42
have for years and years. David Zipplo
25:44
Zip how many segments have we collaborated on?
25:47
A thousand? Maybe more. You're
25:50
a great partner and you always have been. Thank you.
25:52
Steve Korn Chills dude
25:55
in the NFL. I love working
25:57
with you man. Thank you, Ken Henderson,
25:59
the voice of an angel. You help
26:02
me prepare every single morning.
26:03
Thank you. Gina Di Sabatino
26:06
just the coolest.
26:06
Thank you. Anthony Jones.
26:09
You flew this X wing like a true Jedi
26:12
master. Thank you, and may the Force
26:14
be with you. Mark Grillo, I
26:17
love you, dude. Thank you, Bill Henschel,
26:19
I love you too. Thank you our
26:21
GMFB night crew. Can
26:24
you imagine a night crew for a morning
26:26
show?
26:26
The hours? The sacrifice of
26:28
these people.
26:29
Chris Schwartz, Rich Goldberg, Taylor Pulowski,
26:31
Nick Faff, Thank you, Sheric
26:34
Havocow.
26:34
Since day one, a leader, there
26:36
is never.
26:37
An issue or a question you do not have an
26:39
answer for. Thank you, Ashley Palumbo.
26:42
I love you, ash Thank you. Brad
26:44
Ford Knight. There is no one better.
26:45
Thank you.
26:47
Michael Harmier, my
26:49
brother in metal. You feel like family. Mike,
26:52
thank you. Now I'm saying goodbye
26:54
to all these people, but I'm not saying
26:56
goodbye to any of you. That's very important. It
26:58
is exhilarating to me that you watch
27:01
the show that you are watching right
27:03
now, and I know you have questions
27:05
because I've seen them. Why is this
27:07
happening? Who's going to la?
27:11
Why would you take something that you got so right
27:13
and change it? Some of those
27:15
answers, I don't know. Some of
27:17
them are not mine to give. And
27:19
candidly, I have a lot of questions myself.
27:22
Here's what I know.
27:24
I personally will be intensely involved
27:26
in Good Morning Football moving forward, and
27:28
I want to spend the rest of my career with the NFL.
27:31
And Good Morning Football is not ending. It
27:33
is expanding, and it's exciting because
27:35
it's a bigger show.
27:36
It's more show, and.
27:38
It's all the things and the tokens you've woken up
27:40
with for years. Angry Runs, lead Block,
27:42
Whiteboard Wednesday, Throw it on Thursday, and on
27:44
and on and on. It's all in, it's
27:47
all happening, And yes, we will
27:49
be covering the draft. GMFB
27:51
is leaving home for college.
27:53
This this will always be
27:55
home.
27:57
But it's time to evolve, and
27:59
we are flattered that you're wondering and
28:01
maybe worried about what's coming next
28:04
with the show. Recently one of our
28:06
longest, most loyal viewers, he goes by
28:08
Blaze and Casey. He's real wise ass. He
28:10
tweeted this week that he was concerned
28:13
that GMFB and Los Angeles quote
28:16
will be shot with a beach or Neon LT
28:18
set complete with surfboard and Hollywood
28:20
sign have a live studio audience that huts
28:22
and hollers, and guest appearances by celebs
28:24
pitching unwatchable movies funny
28:27
but not happening. The exec producer
28:29
of GMFBLA will be the exact same man who
28:31
created GMFB New York, whose taste
28:34
for content and talent I will trust
28:36
completely for the rest of my career. You
28:38
should too. But that's it for
28:41
this show in this form. I
28:43
am very, very proud of what we built
28:45
here, Me, Peter, Jamie,
28:49
Jason, Nate Kay.
28:51
It has been a dream.
28:52
Job and I know we
28:54
are going to make a fantastic show from Los Angeles
28:57
because this little morning show where we don't scream
28:59
at each other, have fake fights or scripted debates.
29:02
We made it in New York. You
29:04
can make it here, you can make it anywhere. Thank
29:08
you, thank you, thank you. I'll
29:11
see you this summer New York. It
29:13
has been an honor. I'm out of here.
29:19
