Cowboys vs Eagles on Thanksgiving Is Gonna Smash Some Ratings Records, Right?? | The Rich Eisen Show

0:00 Let's focus, guys.

0:01 Sorry.

0:01 Sorry.

0:01 I thought we were

0:03 schedule release.

0:04 Yeah.

0:04 Every day there's a new game getting released one by one.

0:09 Drip drip drip.

0:11 All these guys and ladies that are

0:14 working so hard for the National Football League.

0:17 One by one.

0:18 We're finding out from all of these partners that are

0:22 paying gajillions of dollars for the rights to show these games.

0:26 their right is to use their platform in front of their advertisers

0:31 at their upfronts to say we've got a game to announce

0:34 or three like Fox went

0:36 we got please

0:37 we have three

0:39 you got games to announce today Disney announcing the first

0:45 Monday night football game is Broncos Chiefs let's go okay let's go okay

0:55 now they announced Chiefs and Broncos capping off week one.

0:57 Monday Night Football is back from ESPN.

1:00 Then you look at it, Broncos on tops, Chiefs on the bottom.

1:02 Does anybody know where where this game's being played?

1:04 Anybody?

1:05 Can we get a little bit of heads up?

1:06 Do the Broncos have shoulder on the Chiefs or what?

1:09 Makes it seem like Kansas City.

1:11 It looks like it's Kansas, but they say Chiefs and Broncos

1:13 and not not ver not at

1:15 I have a feeling it's going to be in Denver.

1:17 I would say with all due respect,

1:18 it should be they won the division like correct.

1:21 With all due respect,

1:22 yeah, they're not going to go on the road to arrowhead to start this thing.

1:24 Come on.

1:25 And uh you know what this tells me?

1:28 What's that tell you?

1:29 The schedule makers feel Momes is going to be ready.

1:32 That's that's how I saw that.

1:33 They're not going to say first Monday night game of the year is Bo

1:38 Nicks coming back from his ankle injury and let's see what Justin Fields has.

1:42 But who are they talking to?

1:43 They're calling up Andy.

1:44 I don't know.

1:44 Hey Andy, how's he?

1:45 They might be doing that.

1:46 If I'm in charge, if I'm Mike North and the rest

1:50 of that crew in the uh home office of the National Football League,

1:54 I am 100% calling up the Chiefs and saying, "What do you think?

2:02 What do you think?

2:04 It's one extra day to get ready." Two, right?

2:08 Every second counts cuz here's a guy.

2:12 All right.

2:11 I mean, this guy Robs, I mean, come on.

2:14 But we always go next level here in the Rich Eisen Show.

2:17 We always go a step further.

2:18 You know what this means?

2:20 One more game that we know is not going to be the home

2:25 opener for the defending Super Bowl champs cuz the Chiefs take them

2:29 off the list just like you take the Giants and the Cowboys

2:32 off the list cuz they're the first Sunday night game of the year.

2:35 Just like you take the Rams and the Niners off

2:37 the list cuz they're starting the whole shooting match in Australia.

2:40 It's the Bears.

2:42 Except you're hearing out of Boston there's all

2:44 sorts of rumors it's going to be the Patriots Super Bowl rematch.

2:48 Except you believe unless you believe the other schedule that you saw released.

2:53 I don't know who

2:54 illegally.

2:54 I don't know who to believe.

2:55 Leaked illegally

2:56 saying that the Patriots and the Steelers are opening against each other.

3:00 I don't know which leak to believe.

3:01 And the bottom line is I used to care.

3:03 I don't anymore.

3:06 I don't.

3:08 NFL Network.

3:09 We don't have the schedule release show anymore.

3:11 That one's on ESPN.

3:15 So, there you go.

3:18 Do you feel free?

3:19 Oh, God.

3:19 Do I feel free?

3:20 This used to piss me off to no one.

3:22 You know, I would come in here muttering and cursing like this leaks.

3:26 These leaks.

3:27 So funny.

3:28 How do you expect me to do a show?

3:30 I'm cuz I'm a lead pipe wielding professional.

3:32 I want it to be a surprise.

3:33 You wield a lead pipe, sir.

3:35 I wield a lead.

3:36 No, I don't care anymore.

3:37 Don't give I'm so free.

3:39 Dilly gaff as they say, Rich.

3:41 Sorry, folks.

3:42 Another game.

3:43 Another game.

3:44 The first Thursday night of the year.

3:48 Al Michaels taking Air Al to Western New York.

3:53 All aboard.

3:53 Anyone who lives in Los Angeles want to go with Al to go to Buffalo first?

3:57 You bet you do.

3:58 How many seats on the plane?

3:59 Because I don't know.

4:02 13.

4:01 Lions in Buffalo.

4:03 Big night.

4:04 The new stadium.

4:06 Oh, revealed.

4:07 Yeah, tune in.

4:08 That's going to be a new stadium.

4:10 Tune in.

4:11 Tune in on Prime Video.

4:13 It's kind of like a football version of the Met Gala with Bezos.

4:18 Well, but they all have the same

4:19 except they're wearing Except they're wearing zubas.

4:23 Nice.

4:23 And tables.

4:24 And tables, you know.

4:26 Let's see that in the Met Gala.

4:28 Why don't you go there,

4:29 get get all oiled up, and start throwing yourself around.

4:33 If someone got power bombed through a table for Met Gal that would be

4:37 Devil's Prada three.

4:38 Let's come up with the topics right now.

4:41 We're talking what would they and it's also

4:44 I imagine it could be the first road game for the Lions cuz the Bills

4:49 this the Bills are going to start on the road

4:51 for sure because this is the home opener.

4:54 That's why they're put them on national television.

4:57 So I don't know where the Bills are going to start week one.

5:00 But again, we go a step further.

5:02 Big game for the Lions.

5:04 Like if they they could start off 0 and2 in the first five days potentially.

5:09 This is going to be a tough win.

5:12 And if you listen to overreaction Monday,

5:17 Christopher Brockman came up with a top five to end our show.

5:21 Top five in an overreaction.

5:23 First time we've ever done that.

5:25 You You're know crossover.

5:28 Got to got to expand.

5:29 You're going here.

5:29 You're going there.

5:31 Okay.

5:31 People think we're going here.

5:32 You're going there.

5:33 Got to expand,

5:34 right?

5:35 Yeah.

5:35 And you had his top five.

5:36 Keep them guessing.

5:37 Coaches on a hot seat.

5:38 Number three was Dan Campbell.

5:39 You know, doesn't like that?

5:41 A blog site called Pride of Detroit.

5:43 Oh, no way.

5:44 Look at the headline.

5:46 Analyst ludicrous ludicrously claims ludicrously isn't

5:50 a headline because you pissed him off.

5:52 Chris, more importantly,

5:54 ludicrously claims Dan Campbell's on the hot seat.

5:56 analyst

5:57 Rich Eisen's co-host.

5:59 Maybe that's how you should go to uh Ken Rom.

6:04 Rich Eisen,

6:05 you should go to Kevin.

6:06 Yeah, Kevin Ram's tournament.

6:08 Analyst.

6:08 Analyst or co-host.

6:09 Rich Eisen's co-host believes Detroit Lions

6:11 coach Dan Campbell's on the hot seat.

6:13 Here's why he is wrong.

6:14 You gave this person content.

6:16 You're welcome.

6:17 Paragraphs of copy.

6:18 You are welcome.

6:21 Paragraphs of copy.

6:22 Was that a train song?

6:24 That's good.

6:24 I saw someone in the YouTube comments be like,

6:26 "If Campbell gets fired, just give me the slip to sign now."

6:31 Wow.

6:31 Well, see,

6:32 sorry, DJ.

6:34 Why?

6:34 Why?

6:35 All right.

6:35 You're always That's our next level way of doing that.

6:38 The certificate and the motherload,

6:41 Mike, you're so prideful.

6:42 How come you're not at the Fox up front?

6:44 You're literally up front for Fox everywhere you go.

6:46 By the way, you should be worked.

6:48 I worked one years ago.

6:49 Did one years ago

6:50 and nobody could hear what they were saying,

6:51 so they said, "Get them out of here." Hey, that's the audio is off.

6:54 Must have been.

6:56 That was a little blow.

6:58 That was a little I'm nominated for another sports year.

7:01 Hey, great.

7:02 Yeah, I saw the video for this.

7:03 I saw the video for this.

7:05 Tom Brady and Gronqua there.

7:07 Aaron Andrews showing up.

7:09 It's about us.

7:12 Thanksgiving day.

7:14 Eagles Cowboys.

7:16 That is This is a monster.

7:19 Now, what does this mean?

7:20 A monster.

7:21 Here's what this means.

7:22 Here's what this means.

7:23 What this means is the NFL, forget this less is more stuff.

7:29 Forget it.

7:30 More is more.

7:31 The National Football League

7:33 last year put Kansas City in Dallas.

7:37 All right.

7:38 And even though Kansas City wasn't doing Kansas City things,

7:42 Mahomes was still healthy and there was still hope

7:45 that they would flip a switch and get it going.

7:47 Same thing with the Dallas Cowboys.

7:50 Even with those two teams not performing

7:51 as well as everybody believes this year they could,

7:56 that game drew 57.2 million viewers.

7:59 That was a record of course on CBS, America's most watched network.

8:04 Car Sharks higher.

8:05 This means the NFL says that record's not good enough.

8:09 Yeah, it's getting shattered.

8:11 That is getting shattered.

8:12 We are going to try and break it all the way up.

8:15 No, listen because that is a prime piece of real estate for any

8:20 week for Fox or anybody else that's lucky enough to get it.

8:24 And Fox is like, "Sure,

8:27 let's do it."

8:28 Well, they know who to call when they want the numbers to boost.

8:30 Ghostbusters.

8:31 I mean, and it also means, you know, last year, if you remember,

8:33 Mike North, who uh puts a schedule together for the NFL,

8:36 said the reason why they were able to put the Chiefs

8:38 on Thanksgiving in Dallas is because there were so many other marquee games

8:42 based on the way that conferences were laying out or or setting

8:46 up and the way that certain divisions were playing other certain divisions.

8:50 I mean, you take a look at the Dallas Cowboys schedule,

8:53 other than their regular season contests with their division opponents.

8:58 They've got a home game with San Francisco.

9:00 They have got a home game with Baltimore that's going to um Brazil.

9:06 They have got road visits to here in Los Angeles

9:09 to take on the Rams and Green Bay and Seattle.

9:14 So those are real pieces of real estate otherwise.

9:17 So let's just take Philadelphia and put

9:19 it on Thanksgiving and break a freaking record.

9:21 Oh, why we break bread?

9:22 Cuz it's Thanksgiving.

9:23 And you know what that means now?

9:24 And a wishbone.

9:25 One game was just a interesting comment from TJ.

9:29 Of course, two games made a win loss game.

9:31 Said two games.

9:32 What does three games mean?

9:34 You know what it means.

9:34 Give me the music, Mike.

9:36 Uhoh.

9:36 Give me the music here.

9:37 Come on.

9:37 Let's go.

9:38 Here we go.

9:38 Let's go, TJ.

9:39 Put it up.

9:41 Put it up.

9:41 Oh, what do we got?

9:42 We already had week one as a win.

9:45 Week three is a win.

9:47 Yeah.

9:47 TJ, what happens week 12 when the Philadelphia Eagles visit the Dallas Cowboys?

9:51 Listen, I know what you want me to say.

9:53 Yes, I do.

9:54 I'm not going to give you what you want.

9:55 What do you want?

9:56 What do you think I want?

9:57 Your damn.

9:58 You know, I'm just going to say we'll be TWO IN ONE.

10:04 OH.

10:03 OH, YOU lose at home.

10:05 What is happening?

10:06 I'm being real.

10:07 I'm keeping it real.

10:08 You think the Eagles go into Dallas

10:10 on Thanksgiving Day and take away your Thanksgiving?

10:15 That's You're asking me May the 12th?

10:17 I am.

10:18 That's how I feel.

10:19 Now, once the season starts, I'll probably flip it.

10:21 You know what I'm going to do, but sure.

10:23 I I'll say we'll be two in one out of these.

10:25 Wow.

10:25 What an oh Henrylike twist at the end of this.

10:28 That's the thing.

10:28 I got to keep you bobbing and moving and moving and bobbing.

10:32 Talking about I did not see that coming.

10:37 Schedule release.

10:38 That's the way we handle the schedule release here on the Rich Eisen Show.

10:40 Maybe we should do the show.

10:41 Yeah, I was just going to say we should make

10:42 if we do this again this way all the time.

10:45 I want to care again.

10:46 Counter programming.

10:46 You know what I mean?

10:47 This is getting my juices flowing.

10:49 Let us do the schedule too, guys.

10:51 Release.

10:51 I've done it for years.

10:52 We created the damn thing.

10:53 ESPN took it from us and created their own thing.

10:55 Now they're doing it without us.

10:57 That's kind of wrong.

10:58 It's happening.

10:59 Don't we know people there?

11:01 I am so out of you know what's to give it.

11:03 We're not down.

11:03 The sun is up.

11:06 Yeah.

11:07 What's up, Trevor?

11:07 Hey, you made it all the way to the end.

11:09 Thanks for that.
