Pump up the volume. This is the Rich Eisen Show with guest host WWE Superstar The Miz. Kevin Sabanski is leading us to an undefeated season. Cleaver Browns are going all the way to the Super Bowl. You heard it here first, baby.
Live from the Rich Eisen Show studio in Los Angeles. Earlier on the show, Cavaliers Forward Larry Nance Jr., Pro Football Hall of Famer Kurt Warner. Coming up. Your phone calls, latest news, and more. And now, sitting in for Ridge, WWE Superstar The Miz.
What a show. I mean, two hours in. We got Larry Nance Jr., we got Kurt Warner.
Now we're in the third hour. I feel like we cut off Soli in a phone call because I got to make my breaks. And guess what? If Soli's going to keep yapping and just talking about nonsense, I'm just going to click it off and say, we'll be right back.
So we are back. I won't do it to this caller. Let's go to Mo from El Paso, Texas. Mo, what's going on, bud? Hey, Mo.
Hey, Miss. Man, I'm a great fan and I just want to say you're looking sharp today. I love the tie. Is that a double knot, by the way? That's a full Windsor right there, buddy.
Full Windsor? Oh, man, it's looking sharp, brother. I guess my question for you is: I don't know if you're a Browns fan. You don't know. Obviously, you haven't been honestly.
You've just been listening this entire time or watching from you for 20 years. I'm thinking, like, what do you think about the situation in New Orleans with the quarterbacks? Do you think they might do a trade with the New York Giants for Jameis Winston to get him down there back in New Orleans? No, they got rid of Jameis. Yeah.
So I feel like they wouldn't want him back. They'd want to see what their rookie's got, in my opinion. But I could just be having a humble opinion. But I think the Saints are kind of rebuilding, to be honest with you. And I don't think, I mean, obviously they want to win.
They're striving to win. But I kind of feel like they're just going to see what they got. Am I wrong on this, Brock? No, not wrong. They definitely, look, they invested draft capital last year in Spencer Rattler and this year in Tyler Shuck.
So I think, you know, those guys are having it out. That's a true quarterback competition, a true battle down there. And we'll see how it shakes out, you know, come week one. But look, I'm not alone in thinking this. They're going to be at the top of the draft next year.
So they're going to have this option and they're going to have to weigh this all over again at the top of next year's draft on if they want to take a franchise quarterback or maybe Tyler Shuck turns out to be the guy. But it could be a long season in New Orleans this year. That's true. Do you think teams usually keep four quarterbacks on their roster, or do you think they're going to trim down? We've got five.
I'd like to see Tommy DeVito go. Yeah, it's highly unusual to keep that many quarterbacks. It does seem like Cleveland will be the exception. Yeah, we're going to keep as many as we can do because until we find that franchise quarterback, we'll keep them all. Got it.
It's about time, man. I'd like to see Cleveland in the Super Bowl one day. I think it's going to happen this year. I hope so, man.
Well, Ms. Mann, you're great, man. I'm a big fan of you. I've loved you since the real world. Man, and I just want to keep following you.
And man, it's been a pleasure talking to you, brother. Thanks, Mo. Appreciate you, man. All right, man. Have a great one, man.
You guys have a great day, man. You too, G. Let's do another caller. Shall we go? Shall we do an Eagles win-loss?
Eagles win loss. Do you want to do Eagles win loss? If you want to do it, let's do it. I feel like we've done one already with the Lions, but I kind of feel like I want to know what's games are really fun. It's our Sasso, Hollywood, Florida.
Let's do an Eagles win loss, shall we? Thank you for taking my call. That's so what up, man. I I live down here in the Miami area, Hollywood, Florida, when I'm originally from South Philly, and now I wear my Eagles outfit down here. I'm getting respect now.
You know, out of three out of the last seven years, we've been to three Super Bowls. And one, two years ago, we should have won that one on a backhaul.
So we're in. The dynasty has sorted. Will you run me through and I'll do the wins and losses wiggle? Let's do it. Let's do it.
Eagles wins loss. Sasso. Are you ready? Week one, Thursday night kickoff opener, Cowboys. What do you got?
Winning Win. All right, long by at Kansas City Super Bowl rematch week two. When Rams, week three, the team that almost knocked you off in the playoffs last year. Win Bucks a team you have had trouble with in the playoffs of late. Win, and we don't throw ice balls to Santa Claus anymore.
Broncos, everyone's sleeper pick for the Super Bowl. Week five. When I'm fencing a theme here at Giants week six, Thursday night. When At Vikings. Long week, week seven.
Winning. Giants again at home, week eight before the buy. Win! 8-0. I have a sense of where this is going here, Sassy.
8-no, bye-week, week 10 at Green Bay. Win Lions! Sunday Night Football Week 11. Win at Cowboys again. Week 12.
Definitely wins. Yeah.
Netflix Black Friday game, week 13. What are we doing here? At Charchers on Monday night, week 14. 13 week 17. I mean, COVID, Vegas, week 15, Jay Felly, win.
All right, sorry. Oh boy, this is really fun. With the new self undefeated winner. Wait, Sasso, wait, Sasso, I got a question. Sasso.
Do you think they're going undefeated? You don't think there's any hangover from the Super Bowl? If we don't win the game, we win the fight.
Now get respect. We have the dynasty. They took all my life for this. I get respect now. I walk down the street and they love me.
You're in Miami, Florida. Of course, they love you. You're the only one talking about football. Everyone else is on the beach getting a tan, Sasso. Are you going to win?
Are you guys both wearing crutches this time? I love you, Miz. Thanks for your time. I appreciate it. All right.
Thank you very much, Sasso. You know, that front. Part of that season for the Philadelphia Eagles is pretty tough. Pretty tough. Yeah, pretty tough.
Pretty, pretty tough. Two Super Bowls in seven years? Is that a dynasty? I don't think so. I kept hearing the D-word from Sasso.
Yeah, he's definitely looking forward to. I mean, by the way, in Miami, I mean, is anyone talking about the Dolphins, by the way? And why aren't we talking about the Dolphins? Two is a good quarterback. When two is healthy, They are an elite team.
And by the way, two years ago, we were talking about Mike McDaniel. Like, he was the second coming of Sean McVay. And that is he's going to drive him up all the way to the Super Bowl, just like McVay did. But now, all of a sudden, everyone's like, hey, there's some locker room talk. Tyreek's talking a little bit.
He doesn't have a handle on it. I mean, he stutters a lot. He's kind of a goof. He's funny in the interviews. Like, isn't that what we liked?
Isn't that what his charm was? We always wanted to hear what he was going to say next. And now all of a sudden, we're just like poo-pooing. Pooh-pooing? Yeah.
They they poor 'em. Uh I mean, what do we think about the Dolphins? You're giving me that look. A lot of hot seats in Miami, it feels like. And it's not just the heat, not the temperature.
You know what I mean? Yeah, there is a hot seat, but playing and coaching for the jobs. What, one year? They have greatly underachieved.
Okay.
So they're underachieving. What do they have to do in order to not be in a hot seat? They got to win a playoff game.
So, it has to be playoffs. They got to win a playoff game.
Do you think they can make it to the playoffs? I don't. I mean, you got the Jets.
Well they stink. You got two two wins right there, right? The Bills and not so much the Patriots. You got two wins easy. Tua has owned the Patriots.
Yeah, Patriots, I mean, the Patriots are going to suck this year. The Pats are going to be better than this. Patriots are going to be terrible. Probably 10 and 7. Ten and seven?
You think the Dolphins? I mean, look at them. Indy, they got to win. New England, they got to win. Lose to the Buffalo.
3-1, 4-1, 4-2, 4-2. Four and three. I mean, if you're looking at this, I mean, I mean, I would say five and three, five and four. Uh five and five. Ooh, okay.
Okay, so Yeah, maybe. I mean, that's eight, eight at the most, maybe? Yeah.
I mean, if they're, I mean, eight and eight, nine, I mean, does that make a playoffs in this? That's a tough finish at Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, Tampa, at New England. Yeah.
Well, in England it'll be fine, but... Tampa, Cincinnati, Pittsburgh. How about those? It's Pittsburgh. Is Pittsburgh or is something we need to talk about?
Like we can Aaron Rodgers. That's another shrug team. I don't know what's going on. I don't think it's a shrug. I think Aaron Rodgers.
Like, granted, last year in the end of... The season, he started playing like Aaron Rodgers. It felt like he was coming back and starting to get a rhythm. And now we look at going to the Pittsburgh Steelers, who know we know. Mike Tomlin always has a winning record.
Like, it just happens, right? And he's able to find wide receivers out of nowhere all the time that turn into absolute elite wide receivers. Do a great job at drafting wide receivers. Maybe his best job is that. And then their defense is always going to be stout.
Yep.
So, what's the problem here? Why aren't we talking about them like, hey, Super Bowl? Is it because nobody likes Aaron Rodgers and at least the media? I love Aaron Rodgers.
Well, it's not. I think Rodgers in a new place, right? People kind of, and Chris is one of them, they think. He's reached the end of the road. And so until he wasn't looking like that at the end of the season with the Jets.
Yeah, but it's the Jets than Aaron Rodgers did. Ooh, I didn't know that. But still, it's Aaron Rodgers. Three years ago, he was MVP. You can't say because it's Aaron Rodgers.
The guy hasn't looked good playing football in three years. He's 41 years old. You know what the history of quarterbacks in their 40s playing championship level football? It's one person, Tom Brady. Aaron Rodgers is not Tom Brady.
How old was Brett Favre when he When he was on the Minnesota Vikings. One year with the Vikings? Yeah, he did great that year. I bet he was in his 40s. I forgot.
Did they win the Super Bowl that year? They didn't win the Super Bowl, but he looked great. And he didn't have the team that I, or the coach that I feel like the Pittsburgh Steelers have. And by the way, I hate the Pittsburgh Steelers. I cannot stand the Pittsburgh Steelers.
They are just the enemy towards me. But I just can't help but think that AFC North Division is the toughest division in all of NFL. And correct me if I'm wrong. Tell me a better division. I mean the only division really that would hold up I guess would be the Norse, right?
The AFC West is better.
Well, that too. Uh I don't know about that. We got the Chiefs.
Okay.
You got the Broncos, and all the insiders are pretty high on the Broncos. Everyone is really high on the Broncos. I'm thinking mid. Mid, as Brian Dayboll would say, mid. Why do you think that?
6'7. Boom, just did it. That's a meme.
So, why? I don't know. I just, I mean, Bo Nick's. It's still out. It's his second year.
I always look at the sophomore slump. I feel like every quarterback. Better stats last year than Jaden Daniels. I'm saying, you're saying last year. But what about this year where the sophomore slump happens?
And it happens to all quarterbacks, in my opinion. Name one that hasn't had that happen in the sophomore season. CJ Stroud, everyone thought stunted. He didn't have it. He won a playoff game last year.
Yeah, but you felt like he wasn't playing up to the caliber of what he had the first season. He was running for his life because the offensive line was god-awful.
So, who's to say that that's not a sophomore slump on CJ Stroud?
Okay, that's injuries to the offensive line. That's injuries to Tank Dale, one of his best receivers, Nico Collins, missed time. And Stroud still won a playoff game with that team. Two years in a row.
Okay.
Okay, Jaden Daniels. Yeah, we'll see what happens this season. But Terry McLaurin, we all think is going to get paid and show up to camp. They added Debo Samuel. They added Laramie Tunsell from.
He took Houston's best offensive lineman and added it to the mix. But statistically, still there. Back to Stroud. He did. He.
His stats are they all took a dive in the second year.
Now, like you said, so that's a slump. There were some, there were some reasons. That's a slump. If his, if they took it on a slump, if they took it in, it's not just like a it's a. He died.
He had three less touchdowns. It was, you know, so it wasn't huge, but yeah, the numbers were different. I like saying it dive. I'm hesitant to say dive, but the sophomore thing is a thing, and we're going to see. And Jane David recorded last year.
Okay.
Okay, say the Denver Broncos are not making this. This was part of the story, though. Wait, where do you think that the Denver Broncos will be? You think they're top 10? I think they can win the division.
You think they're top 10? Yeah.
Wow. I did not, that's why I have them mid. I don't have them in my top 10. I think they can win the division. You don't think they can win the West?
I do not think. Wait, wait. Not with the Chiefs still playing football. Yeah.
Well, Sam Fran is. NFC West AFC West. Wait, where are we at? Chiefs, Chargers, Chargers, Raiders, Broncos. Broncos.
Chargers, chargers are good. Jim Harbaugh, man. Yeah, but we gotta see it because every answer is linemen. What's that? Rashawn Slater out for the season.
Their best offensive lineman.
So you think that that's going to play a vital, vital role in them winning? That might be a win or two.
Okay.
So you don't see them in the playoffs at all? I think they're one of those teams. They made it last season and then got kind of blown out in the playoffs. They're kind of a fringe team.
So what does that say about Harbaugh? I mean, obviously, they brought him in there to to win playoff games. They were always pretty good. Big gear for Herbert. They were always a pretty good team.
Big gear for Herbert coming up. He needs to have one.
Okay.
And if he doesn't. You know, then like TJ hasn't been on the Herbert train for a while, but then he's one of those quarterbacks, like, you know, Tua and Trevor Lawrence, and you're just like, man, we gave this guy $50 million and he can't win a. Playoff game, like what are we doing? The thing about Herbert is he somehow always manages to escape all the. All the finger-pointing that a lot of the quarterbacks go through.
Somehow he's able to like slide under all that. And I just don't understand why that is.
So, after talking about this, you're telling me that division is better than the AFC North. Yeah, we've talked about this. Only one team in the AFC North legitimately has a Super Bowl shot. Ravens, you're telling me Bengals don't have it with Joe Burrow? No.
Their defense is exactly the same, and they were hot garbage last year and didn't make the playoffs last year. They were hot garbage. They had a bad start. And what did they do in preseason? They said, hey, first game out.
By the way, I don't want them to do well, but I just think they are. Stout, like they are ready, they're paying their wide receivers. They're like paying everybody, we're getting our offense going and we're gonna do it up. And so, Joe Burrow can get it done, and they're doing it in the preseason. They were like, no, like, no one plays in the preseason.
Joe Burrow is out there, Jamar Chase is out there because they know they start off slow. They're promising that they're not going to start off slow by doing that. They're putting a statement out there, and then you also have, I mean, you have the Browns, which you look at the Browns, the defense will be a top five defense this year. Tell me, I'm wrong. Tell me, I'm wrong that Miles Garrett is not going to be defensive player of the year.
He very well might be. Exactly. And you're going to lose every game 10-0. How dare you? How dare you?
You can't put up points. Kevin Safanski is a two-time coach of the year. He should give one of those to Joe Flacco.
Well, Joe Flacco is his starting quarterback right now. If he's giving it to him, he's in a tall. And then they can marry it together and get another coach of the year and win some playoff games and go to the Super Bowl and win that. What is wrong with you guys? I don't think you guys talk sports every single day.
And sometimes I don't think you know what you're talking about.
Well, one thing we do know is the Browns will not win the Super Bowl this year. Excuse me?
Sorry. The Browns will not win the Super Bowl this year. Love you, Mike. Been a fan for a long time. And I say this is a good idea.
Do we need to go to my power rankings? I have two friends. You're not winning the Super Bowl. Hold on. Hold on.
We're going to do some news. This news up. I don't want to do in the news. I'm not giving you in the news. I'm not giving you in the news.
But you don't deserve it. You don't deserve it until you say Hancy North is it. And now, with a report of the day's news from the world of sports and entertainment, someone who is not a journalist or newsman by any definition of the word whatsoever, it's Chris Brockman. I look great in that hat. That guy.
I have to admit that. That guy says it. He does nothing. He basically, your segment right there literally just said: this guy knows nothing, says nothing, shouldn't even listen to him. But go ahead.
Crap, I'm Devil News. All right. Top of the top story here, we talked about this early in the show. Shador Sanders, we've been talking about him all week after his impressive preseason debut last Friday. He left Browns practice early today with an oblique injury.
Did not receive any first-team reps in 7-7 or 11-on-11s before the injury. And this puts his playing status in jeopardy for this weekend against Philadelphia. If he should not be able to go, it would be Dylan Gabriel, who has been practicing this week. Kenny Pickett still banged up. Joe Flacco, obviously, throw him in bubble wrap for week one.
But this is a major bummer for Shador Sanders, who had a lot of momentum coming off of Friday into this week, was hoping to get some first-team reps and maybe get a start again this weekend against Philadelphia, but a setback here with an oblique injury.
So, what happens if Dylan Gabriel goes out there and balls out and balls out?
Well, we're back where we started. I mean, we are. I mean, honestly, we already are where we started because he was already fourth on the depth chart after that preseason game. He's always been fourth on the depth chart as Shador. And so now you have Dylan Gabriel, who, if he balls out, what if he doesn't ball out?
Does that move shoot her up? It should. It should, but would it? It should. By the way, you think most people know where the oblique is?
Yeah.
But I'm saying, do you think a lot of people know where their oblique is? Have you ever had an oblique injury? No, I don't get injured. You can see by my storied 20-year career, the only thing I've ever injured was an MCL and a fake injury here because I won a world championship match. I still have my crutches.
I feel like my crutches are. It's right here, by the way, everyone. And also, by the way, we have Rich's pad here. I don't know. Do you guys all have pads?
I mean, what is this for? Is this hemorrhoids? Is this for hemorrhoids? Is that what this is for, Rich? I've never seen anything before.
What is that? What is for Andrew, by the way? What is this? That helps. I don't even know which way it goes.
Does it go this way? You know what? I'm going to try it out. By the way, how about this? Can you see this hole right here?
No, we can't. That's how much this guy. That's how much this guy sits in this seat. He's developed a hole in here, and so. I imagine this was where I think the owners with this region goes.
Or your little maze goes. This was a like. Little Maze. You haven't talked to my wife. This isn't comfortable, by the way.
I don't like this. You just got like an inch taller, higher in the chair. Yeah, I did kind of. Does this make me? Mike's too low.
Okay, fine. They don't have to take it off. Do you guys all have pads? No, I got a lot of stuff. We have a pad.
I mean, I would say it's a pad. What's your pad look like? It's just a thin little cushion. We got nothing. All right.
Other NFL news, a couple of injuries updates here. Dolphins Edge, Chop Robinson did leave the practice today, and it looked pretty bad, although he said not a serious injury.
So that's good news for a Miami line that was kind of decimated last season by injuries. Let's see, Kevin O'Connell said Justin Jefferson is dealing with a hamstring injury and progressing. Will be reassessed next week.
So obviously not practicing. Minnesota is joint practicing with the Patriots right now. Uh, Ben Johnson said that Caleb Williams and all the starters will play in week two against the Bills this weekend.
So that's good news. First look at Caleb Williams and that new offense. Expectations for Chicago, Mike, this year? My expectations are slim. I don't find, yeah, I know what you're all thinking.
Ben Johnson, he's going to get Caleb where he needs to be. I know Seth Rollins would say I'm wrong, but I don't, I, I mean, if mid is a football team, it's definitely the Chicago Bears because I think it takes time to develop a Ben Johnsons, uh, Ben Johnson offense, and I think it'll take him time to develop. And so it's not going to be till next year when they're going to actually see. a really moving offensive team. In my opinion.
Am I wrong? You guys are looking at me like I'm a dummy. No, I think they do have a lot of proof. It's a big year for Caleb Williams. You know, got a new coach.
Last year we thought, hey, he was in a great spot, right, TJ? All these offensive weapons, great spot. One of the best situations a first-round pick can walk into as a quarterback. And then it was, you know. Caleb's stats were okay, but it was a disaster kind of on the field.
Now Ben Johnson comes in. You feel like you got an adult in the room on offense. Got to lead Caleb and kind of show him how to be a professional quarterback. Doesn't that take time? Doesn't it take like more than like Six months?
Three, six months. Um, I don't know. These guys are a high-level elite, Heisman Trophy winner, you know, highly decorated. Players.
So I don't know. I think maybe in a season you can kind of figure this out. We're going to find out right away. I mean, they're playing the Vikings right off the bat on Monday Night Football, so we'll see what it looks like. But to see that he's going to be playing in the preseason, I think that's kind of encouraging.
And, you know, expectations are kind of, you know, you're kind of up on your pad a little bit. You're kind of like, hey, What's this gonna look like? I took the pad out. It wasn't a comfortable pad for you. It's not a comfortable pad.
Nah, it did make me look sit a little taller. I will say that. It makes me feel taller, but is there anything else in the news? Yeah, one more thing. We did hit on off the top.
James Cook got his bag. Four years, $48 million with $30 million guaranteed.
So that ends his hold in in Buffalo. And lastly,. How do you feel about the preseason fighting, the guys fighting in camp in these joint practices? You into it or not into it? I'm a WWE superstar.
You're going to give me some punches. I'm going to watch it. It's very entertaining. I don't mind it at all. I think it's all a part of the aggressive nature that is football, and it shows how much and passion you want to win, whether it's your team or not.
What about when the quarterback's involved? Do you want the quarterback out there? Ooh, I don't know if I want the quarterback in there, but actually, you know what? I do. I do.
I feel like Baker Mayfield would be in that. Like, I don't know if that's who you're talking about. It's not. I feel like that's a quarterback that literally, if one of his boys started talking in smack, he'd be right up in there to talk about it. Falcons-Titans joint practice today.
Michael Pennix Jr. involved in the melee. I kind of like it. He completed a bomb to Ray Larry McLeod, and they were talking smack. And then all of a sudden, boom, we're playing the feud.
I'll tell you who's not doing that. Who? Kirk Cousins. He is not. Michael Pennix talked about the melee today.
Oh. And man, celebrating celebrating, somebody ain't like it. And then it just went on from there. I really don't remember too much after that, to be honest. Just everything happened fast.
DJ said it was a sign of brotherhood that the whole team came over to help you out of that situation. Yeah, no, for sure. Like, I'm glad they did, because. You know, obviously, um, that's not something that we want to be uh be doing in practice. We want to get our reps in, you know, get that good work in.
But, um, it it went how it went. But to see the team have my back and they were they were there, um, to make sure they protect me. A lot of guys asked me if I was good, and um, you know, it it was good to know that those guys got my back.
So I don't know where I was at in it. It was a lot of people. I I know I I was I was down there somewhere. I wasn't the only one though. Yeah.
You like that? I kind of like it. If I'm a coach, I'm angry. I am like, you're my, I literally make you wear a red jersey so no one touches you. And now you're in fights.
Like, what are we doing? You're my franchise quarterback. I imagine Kirk Cousins sitting there going, like, Listen, bud, probably singing him a lullaby, like saying, Hey, bud, might not want to do that, might not want to try that.
So, yeah, maybe that's a bad look, but if I'm on his offense, I'm like, I can rally behind this dude. Yeah.
All right, thank you very much. No Taylor Swift stuff, huh? Look at you. 0.0 interest in that. I'm highly interested, especially when we come back from break.
We'll see you later. Yeah.
Listen, the way you sleep is unique to you, and that's why having a sleep number smart bed is so crucial. Because you can adapt to your changing needs for just right. Can't wait to nestle into bed, luxurious comfort.
So, whether your needs are softer or firmer, cooler or warmer, you are never stuck. You can adjust your comfort whenever you like. And it gives you your best night's sleep night after night, year after year. I love my smart bed. My sleep number setting is 60.
My wife's is 70, just 10 numbers apart, but it means the world of difference because I can change my side of the bed to however firm or soft I want. And the same thing. For Suze.

Oh, when I took the sack, second and 26 in the National Championship. You mean the one that you immediately made up for with an amazing play that puts you on the map?
Yeah.
That sad?
Okay.
That was the sad.
So walk me through how that, what he said to you, if you can, in a certain way on a live radio TV broadcast. I mean, I could only see it on camera, you know, how mad he was. That was probably the most pissed off, though, I think he's ever been. I mean, he was squeezing his headset so hard. And then, um, you know, like...
It was hard because the emotion was like so mad to so happy, you know, so fast for him. And you know, we got into the locker room when everything settled down. I mean, he was still the same coach, you know, he blew me to the side. Like, what were you thinking? You know?
So, after you won the game and you've picked confetti out of your hair, he still took a moment in that moment to revisit that stick. Being who he is, I mean, you know. He pulled me to the side and he said, you know, why did you take this hat? Right. You know, and I thought it was a good time to joke with him, you know, so I...
I mean, we won the national championship.
So I told him, well, you know, we needed more room to throw the ball, coach. You know, and like, he looked at me and like, I was laughing. He's like, that's not funny.
So, I mean, I didn't know what else to do in that situation. I was like, okay, I'm sorry, coach.
So I shook his hand and he just moved on. I was like, oh, yeah. Like, oh, man. That's amazing. I love that story.
That made me my favorite story the whole week.
So you just figured, yeah, hey. I was like, oh, maybe. Did you want it? Yeah.
Thought it was a good time to joke, but it wasn't. Yeah, nope. It's never a good time, I guess, in that respect. Come on. Yeah.
It is that time. It is that time for the Mizes. Power rankings. Let's go. There are many.
But this one is. Power rankings. Let's go. Give me the power. I mean, I love He-Man.
I don't think you guys know. I've actually auditioned to be a voiceover for Orco. Hey, oh, that's right. That's right. I didn't get it.
Dang. That's how I was girls to talk. But they didn't like it. They didn't like it. I don't know.
I think I have a great one. That's probably good. I mean, I was a huge fan of He-Man when I was a kid. Oh, yeah. Huge fan.
I mean, there was nothing more. I had the Skeletor. Whole thing. I mean, it was. Let's get to my power ranking, shall we?
It's not enough. Enough about He-Man. The power of ISCOL. I have the power. Here we go.
Number 10. Yes. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers. What is this? Is this the best teams?
No, this is number 10. Power. Power. I have the power. Do you not get the?
I have the power. If I have the power, I want power rankings for the top 10 teams of TV NFL. How do you not know how power ranking is every week? We could be power ranking foods or movies or wrestling moves. You know what I mean?
We've been talking about NFL all day. I don't know. Why would I change anything up that you guys do every single day? It's got medical terms to stacking in food.
Well, you missed that one. I did. I bet there's a lot of fried food on there, isn't there? Yeah, I bet there is. Otis, want a cheeseburger and hot dogs.
Dodger Stadium and get a Dodger dog. Let's go. Overrated. Can I continue?
Sorry. Please do, bro. NFL. Top 10 power rankings. These are my top 10 teams right now.
Here we go. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are number 10. Number 9. I like it. The Pittsburgh Steelers.
I hate the Pittsburgh Steelers. I can't stand the Pittsburgh Steelers because I think they're one of the top 10 teams in the NFL. Number eight. The Los Angeles Chargers. Chargers?
Yes, I said the Chargers. I believe in Harbaugh. Did you spell Rams wrong? R. Wait.
You're gonna love this. You're gonna love this list, let me tell you. Interesting. Number seven. The Kansas City Chiefs.
That's kind of low, yo. Kind of low. I think it's a pretty good spot for them. Don't tell Rich that they're seven. Kind of low, they are.
I think it's a perfect spot for them. I think this is the year that maybe, just maybe. Josh Allen. Gets him. Gets him.
In the playoffs. You know, you got to get him in the playoffs. Yeah.
You got to get him in the playoffs. And I think this is the year that he does it. I mean, we're representing, I mean, Cart Knox right now, the Bills.
So, I mean, that's what we're talking about. That's what we want.
So I think this is the year they get him. Number six, we'll go with Philadelphia Eagles. I think there is a. Yes. Yes.
Yes. Why are you laughing? Did you watch the Super Bowl or not? Yes, that was last year. This is this year.
It's a new year. Friends, it's a new year. They were in this. When have you ever known a Super Bowl team to come back and just go all the way to the Super Bowl goal again and sweep everybody? 92.
It literally helps. It just happened. The Chiefs, the Patriots did it twice. That didn't happen back to back years, though. The Dolphins did it.
The Niners did it.
Okay, guys, we get it. We get your knowledge. It's not happening this year, okay? It's not happening this year. Can I go to number five?
Sorry. Buffalo Bills. Five! Five! That was Hoskins telling from the back.
I got him at five. Why the hell is he in your top four? I love it. No, this is great. You're doing awesome.
Thank you, guys. You're doing it. Number four. Can I go to number four? Please do.
Yeah.
Washington Commanders. Ooh. In football? What do you think? You were just telling me about a sophomore slump for Bo Nicks, and you have the Commanders four.
Yeah, I think they're going to be number four. I got it.
Someone's got to go there. I got a phone where we're going to hear Bo Nix's name again. But you also were the same person that said CJ Stroud took him to the playoffs and won in the playoffs. He did win a playoff game. There was no slump.
And he had a slump.
So Jaden Daniels can have the same kind of slump. And still, okay. And still make it there. Ahead of the Eagles. Yeah, by the way, they're not number one.
Yeah, we know because they're not the Super Bowl champions. I mean the Eagles are pretty good. Baltimore Ravens.
Okay.
Okay.
Oh, okay.
Okay.
That's first good team. That's pretty first good team. This is a great top 10. By the way, I can't wait to come back here. We're giving you the full experience of the season and just laugh my way because I was right.
All we do is I was right. You're coming. All right, tomorrow. Number two. Yeah, you're going to do number two.
Please do. Number two. Los Angeles Rams. Oh! The Jimmy Garage.
Thank you, Led Rams. No, it'll be Matthew Stafford. I believe in Sean McVay. I think they have a great defense. That's a young defense.
I think they have offensive weapons. And Matthew Stafford, when healthy, is a Super Bowl caliber quarterback, franchise court, whatever you want to call him. People might say he's getting old. I still think he zips the ball, and I love watching him.
So, I think they are number two. and the team they will be playing. In the Super Bowl. Who's left on this? I have a feeling.
He's going to beat them in the Super Bowl. Is he going to do it? Patriots? Is he going to do it? He's going to do it, Raiders.
The Cleveland Browns are going to the Super Bowl and they're winning the Super Bowl, beating the Los Angeles Rams. You heard it here first, and you might look at me and go, This guy's crazy. Why am I even watching the Rich Eisen show hosted by The Miz when this guy's talking all this mamma jammed? I'm talking it. And I'm saying he gotta walk it, though, Joe.
The Cleveland Browns are going to the Super Bowl. This year? Yes! And football. Yes.
They have the worst odds to win the AFC. Good. I'm going to bet on them and I'm going to make a lot of money on them. 130 to 1. Good.
I'm going to make a lot of money.
So, what is that? $1, I'll get $130? Yeah.
Okay.
A Rams Browns Super Bowl is 404 to 1. 404 to one. Man, I'm going to make a lot of money this year. Yeah, I'm going to make a lot of money this year. I'm going to throw a butt down with you on that.
Thank you very much. Look at that. See, someone that believes in me. I mean, I believe in money more so than someone that, what? Wait, what is that?
Three and four. Oh, that's last year. That's last year. That's last year. By the way, we're talking about last year.
Why are we talking about last year? We're in the preseason of this year. That means this year type of guy. Yeah, you don't have to be a little bit more. Flacco's won the Super Bowl.
You've got shit. Do you guys know that? Did you know that? I heard about that. Yeah, he's won a Super Bowl.
He's my quarterback. He did like 15 years ago. Miles Garrett wanted a team that is going to win a chance to win. He's a giant person that is going to go to the Super Bowl, and he's getting that. He deserves it.
And I truly believe this, by the way. I know a lot of people are thinking I'm joking. I'm not joking. And neither is anyone in Cleveland, Ohio. When you go to Cleveland, we believe.
We are behind the team. We are behind you, Kevin Stefanski. We know you can lead a team all the way to the Super Bowl. We believe in you, Miles Garrett, to be defensive player of the year. I believe in that quarterback room led by Joe Flacco.
And now, whether Kenny Pickett or Dylan Gabriel or Shader Sanders. Shows up and says, you know what? I can take that spot, but right now it's his. And he can win that. He's not just a comeback player of the year, he's an NFL MVP.
He will be an NFL MVP. A Super Bowl winning. MVP. this year. twenty twenty six.
We'll see you there. Speaking into existence. I'm speaking it. I represent Cleveland. That deserves a slow class.
Yeah, I would say that. Yeah, thank you. Thank you very much. That's my power rankings. And it deserves a slow clap, I believe.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And I believe. No, you don't need to go. I don't need your claps. I don't need your approval.
What I need is a phone call from someone right now. Let's give it. Oh, I actually want to do this one, actually. Ted from South Carolina. Brock, we want to do a Browns win-loss.
Oh, baby. Let's go. We've already had this. I mean, we're going to have the same thing as we had as the Eagles guy. Let's sue the feud.
Let's do it. Versus TJ and Brockman. And now we're picking the Browns. Let's do it. All right.
All right. Browns are in laws. Here we go. Week one, Cincinnati. That's a win.

Oh, that's an easy one. Sorry, Brockman. Easy win. Interesting. It is an easy win.
That's interesting. All right. Five and two, six and two into the bye. At Jets week 10. Again.
We're gonna beat him up. Mm. Seven and two. Seven and two. Week 11, Baltimore at home.
See, now it's time where we start getting them back. We preach on. Is that a win or loss? I missed it. Miz is grunting.
Beat the Ravens at home. Beat the Ravens at home. All right, let's breeze through these. Week 12 at Raiders. Beating up against the Raiders in Las Vegas.
Of course. Wow, you guys only have two losses. Week 13, San Francisco. See ya.
Sorry. That's another win. Boom. Wow, that's eight in a row. Yeah, look at us.
Tennessee, we got a lot of winners. We had four champion boy pants on this year, didn't we? I agree, Super Bowl this year. Is that a win against the Titans? Titans?
That's another win. At Chicago week 15. We might lose that one because we have to set our starters. Hey, look at this guy. Look at this guy with a month.
Do you hear him? Week 16, Buffalo. I'm afraid we might lose to Buffalo at home. Two in a row at 17 Pittsburgh. We are going to beat the hell out of the winter.
Oh, yes. Back on the winning train. Last one at Cincinnati to end the season. We are going to sweep some snags. Our season doesn't end there, buddy.
13 and 4. We're going to the playoffs. 13 and 4 probably wins the AFC. What I'm talking about. Ted, thank you.
We got to go to break. Ted, you're the man. We have come up with a list of NFL players and we have placed it on a A clipboard. Clipboard. Yes.

And the way he's able to captivate so many people, get so much out of their, his guests. It really, I was like, I was, when I found out when we were, we were at American Century and he was like, hey, would you ever want to host a show?
I was like, it would be an absolute honor to host a show. I went and when I found out who my guests were, I was dissecting everything that I could possibly get out of them like Rich Eisen does because he's just so incredible at it. The show is so amazing. And it's always great to be with you guys. Thank you guys so much for having me.
