0:01 Sorry.

0:01 I thought we were.

0:03 Schedule release.

0:05 Yeah.

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

0:08 One by one, drip, drip, drip.

0:11 All these guys and ladies that are

0:13 working so hard for the National Football League,

0:16 one by one we're finding out from all of these partners

0:22 that are paying gazillions of dollars for the rights to show these games.

0:26 Their right is to use their platform in front

0:30 of their advertisers at their upfronts to say, "We've got a game to announce."

0:34 Or three, like Fox when

0:35 We go off, please.

0:37 We have three.

0:39 You got games to announce.

0:42 Today, Disney announcing the first Monday Night Football game is

0:50 Oof.

0:50 Broncos-Chiefs, let's go.

0:52 Okay.

0:52 Let's go.

0:55 Okay.

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

0:57 Monday Night Football is back from ESPN.

0:59 Then you look at it, Broncos on top, 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 It makes it seem like Kansas City.

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

1:13 And not not not at.

1:14 I have a feeling it's going to be in Denver.

1:17 I would say with all due respect, it should be.

1:19 They won the division like

1:21 Correct.

1:21 With all due respect.

1:22 Yeah, they're not going to go on the road at Arrowhead to start this thing.

1:26 on.

1:25 And you know what this tells me?

1:28 What's that tell you?

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

1:32 that's how I saw that.

1:33 They're not going to say [clears throat] first Monday night game of the year is

1:37 Bo Nix 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 Reid?

1:44 I don't know.

1:44 Hey, Andy, how's he looking?

1:45 be doing that.

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

1:49 of that crew in the 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.

2:06 Two.

2:07 Right?

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

2:11 I mean this guy imagine the clothes.

2:13 I mean come on.

2:15 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?

2:21 Rhinestone

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

2:31 off the list cuz they're the first Sunday night game of the year.

2:34 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.

2:46 Yeah, Super Bowl rematch.

2:47 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 it was.

2:55 leaked illegally

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

2:59 I don't know which leak to believe and the bottom line is I used to care.

3:03 I don't anymore.

3:06 [laughter]

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 [laughter]

3:15 So there you go.

3:18 Do you feel free now?

3:19 Oh god, do I feel free.

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

3:22 You know I would come in here muttering and cursing.

3:25 Like these 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.

3:34 the lead pipe, sir.

3:35 I wield the lead.

3:36 Now I don't care anymore.

3:37 Don't give a

3:38 I'm so free.

3:39 Dilly Gaff as they say, Rich.

3:41 Sorry, folks.

3:43 Another game.

3:44 The first Thursday night of the year.

3:48 Michael's taking air out of Western New York.

3:52 Woo!

3:52 All aboard.

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

3:59 Because I don't know.

4:00 13.

4:01 Lions in Buffalo big night, the new stadium.

4:08 What's going to be A new stadium.

4:10 Tune in.

4:11 Tune in.

4:12 No roof?

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 costume.

4:20 Exactly.

4:20 Except that they're wearing zubas.

4:23 Nice.

4:23 And tables.

4:24 And tables.

4:25 You know?

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

4:28 When you go there get get all oiled up and start throwing yourself around.

4:33 If someone got power bombed through a table from after the Met Gala still Yeah.

4:37 I mean yeah, but where's Prada three?

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

4:41 Now we're talking.

4:42 What would they

4:43 And it's also

4:44 Only two topics.

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

4:48 Cuz the Bills this the Bills are going to start on the road for sure.

4:52 Cuz this is the home opener.

4:54 That's why they're putting 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 and 2 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 one Christopher

5:17 Brockman came up with a top five and our show Top five in an overreaction.

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

5:25 What for?

5:31 People think we're going here, you're going there.

5:32 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 the hot seat.

5:38 Number three was Dan Campbell.

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

5:41 A blog site called Pride of Detroit.

5:43 Oh, no.

5:43 Hey.

5:44 LOOK AT THE HEADLINE.

5:50 in a headline because you pissed them off, Chris.

5:53 And more importantly

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

5:58 analyst

5:57 Rich Eisen's co-host

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

6:05 You should go to

6:05 analyst Kevin Ramstein

6:06 Kevin Ramstein tournament analyst analyst or co-

6:09 Rich Eisen's co-host believe Detroit Lions coach Dan Campbell's on the hot seat.

6:24 That's a good I saw someone in the YouTube comments be like

6:30 Wow.

6:31 Oh, see.

6:32 Sorry DJ.

6:34 [laughter]

6:34 Why why why you

6:35 All right.

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

6:38 the certificate And the mother load Mike, you're so prideful.

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

6:44 You're literally

6:45 Sir, Fox everywhere you go.

6:47 You should be.

6:47 Why not?

6:48 Well, I worked one years ago did one years ago.

6:50 And nobody could hear what they were saying so they said get him out of here.

6:54 That's The audio is off must have been.

6:56 That was a little blow.

6:57 That was a little I'm nominated for another sports Emmy for audio this year.

7:01 Hey, great.

7:01 Yeah, I saw the video for this.

7:03 I saw the video for this.

7:05 Tom Brady and Gronk were there.

7:07 Erin Andrews showing up.

7:10 Thanksgiving Day 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.

7:29 More is more.

7:30 The National Football League last year put Kansas City in Dallas.

7:37 All right.

7:38 And even though Kansas City wasn't doing Kansas City things Mahomes was healthy

7:44 and there was still hope 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.

8:00 Of course.

8:02 on CBS, America's most watched network.

8:03 Car charts higher?

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

8:09 Yeah, it's getting

8:11 [laughter] shattered.

8:11 That is getting shattered.

8:12 We are going to try and break it.

8:14 All the way up.

8:15 No, listen, because

8:18 [laughter]

8:18 that is a prime piece of real estate for any week

8:20 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 They know who to call when they want the numbers to boost.

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

8:33 if you remember, Mike North, who puts the 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

8:52 schedule 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 really pieces of real estate otherwise.

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

9:18 it on Thanksgiving and break freaking record.

9:21 Oh.

9:21 Why we break brick?

9:22 Cuz it's Thanksgiving.

9:23 And you know what that means now?

9:24 In a wishbone.

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

9:30 course.

9:29 Two games made a win-loss game.

9:31 two games.

9:32 What does three games mean?

9:33 You know what it means.

9:34 Give me the music, Mike.

9:36 Uh-oh.

9:36 Give me the music here.

9:37 let's go.

9:38 Here we go.

9:38 Let's go, T.J.

9:39 Put it up.

9:40 Put it up.

9:41 Oh, what do we got?

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

9:45 Week three's a win.

9:47 Yeah.

9:47 T.J., what happens week 12 when

9:48 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 Oh, you damn acting.

9:58 You know Oh.

9:59 I'm just going to say we'll be two AND ONE.

10:02 OH.

10:03 [screaming and groaning] YOU LOSE.

10:05 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 on 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, you know I'm going to do.

10:22 But sure.

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

10:25 Wow, what an O.

10:25 Henry like twist at the end of this one.

10:27 That's the thing, I got to keep you bobbing and moving, and moving and bobbing.

10:31 He doesn't know what he's talking about.

10:33 I did not [laughter] say that comment.

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 this the

10:43 do this this way all the time, we do it this way all the time.

10:45 Counter programming?

10:46 You know what?

10:47 I mean, this is getting my juices flowing.

10:49 Let us do the schedule, too.

10:50 Guy, the 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.

11:05 Yeah.

11:06 [laughter] What's up, Trevor?
