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.
