Yeah, he is. And the phone lines are open. 844-204-RICH. Yeah, we haven't done it yet. I was not here Thursday and Friday, or Friday, TJ.
Did you guys play any win-loss? You and Kirk Morrison? I did not play the win-loss.
Okay, so, people, win-loss is open. If you want to get your team schedule, we go game by game. First in on the win-loss. Call in 844-204-Rich. We will go through game by game, your NFL team's schedule.
You want to give it a world right now, Brockman? Absolutely not. You know, you're patriots? Absolutely not. Huh?
Don't. I need to see what's going on with the wide receiver room. And the head coach. I just need to see what's going on with the team here for like another month.
So, you want people to call in and go on the record about their team, but you're not willing to do it yourself on May 18th. You understand the message that's sending. To the people who were going to call in and now are like, well, if Brockman won't as a paid professional, who granted is on three hours' sleep, why should I? I can assure you, no one's thinking if he doesn't do it, why should I do it? Because they're going to do it.
Do you want to do the Cowboys right now? No, I'm not doing that. That's it. Yeah, so put your money where your mouth is if you're going to talk snack about me. First three matrix.
I was trying to give you props to saying that no one's not going to do it because you're not doing it because they like it. You're basically saying he has no influence. Oh, I thought. No, that's not helpful. Oh, I thought you were taking it.
No, no, no. Fact is, Tom, they try to get me every year. I got to do the Cowboys first. I'm not doing it first this year. All I will say is that the Pats are going to win week two.
That's all I'm saying. Week two, which is the Steelers. That's all I'm saying. We're willing to say home game, one o'clock him in the shadows. Right.
And that's your one prediction. It's my one prediction. We are going to win week two. We're going to have some news coming out of the NFL meeting, spring meeting. How do we feel about Super Bowl in Nashville?
Yeah, bring it up. 2030. Come in. New Nissan Stadium with its. Translucent roof.
Uh-huh. Mike Garifolo, Ian Rapaport, my colleagues over at NFL Network reporting this morning. Owners expected to vote on Nashville hosting Super Bowl. Who wants to do it? Who thinks they got it?
I know it. you Roman numerals. LXIV, Brockman 5. 4X3. That is right.
Brockman in under the wire. I just want to make sure. You were fully functional this morning. The brain's only working at half speed. You guys were at the draft in Nashville, which is still highly regarded by everyone who wasn't having a bachelorette party that weekend.
Why are they doing this thing here? Bachelorette party, all the ladies there this weekend were quite surprised to see all the football bros, but we had a great time. That was, I think, the best. Draft location experience that we've all had. It was fantastic.
The way they shut down, what is the name of that stage? Broadway. Broadway. They shut it all down. The stage was at the end near the river.
It was. It's amazing. Phenomenal. Can't wait to go back to the Super Bowl. It is going to be a plus plus.
The new stadium for the Titans opens next year. Again, we'll have a roof. Be translucent. but protected from the elements because That's the only way you get a Super Bowl. Yeah.
It's the occasional ice storm that time of year in Nashville. I have personally had a trip canceled to Nashville in February because of an ice storm. Had to reroute to Fort Lauderdale. It was the only place. That was like a break.
2021, I think it was, that it was right when people were coming out of COVID. There were only certain states where you could actually do stuff. Tennessee was one of them. We were going to go to Nashville. Ice storm hit the whole country.
The one place you could fly to was Fort Lauderdale. Also. Wide open. I was just going to say. That was all we had.
All right, here is the Google AI weather info on February. I typed in February weather in Nashville. Average temperature. Here we go. In February, Nashville experiences highly variable and generally cold weather.
Yeah. With average daytime highs ranging from 50 to 57 degrees. That's good. And overnight lows dropping between 32 and 38. Considered one of the wettest months, and visitors should pack layers to prepare for unpredictable swings between crisp, sunny days and freezing temps, rain, or ice.
Here you go. We know how this works. All right. You build a stadium. If you build it, they will come.
It went to Minneapolis. And it was minus five of that state. It was so cold. It was not quite the Chamber of Commerce commercial you wanted, especially when a foot of snow fell on Saturday and wiped out all the sponsor events. Let me tell you what.
Now, let me be clear. I am not rooting for that to happen in Nashville. I love the city of Nashville. I love the food. I love the people.
I'm just saying. There is a risk factor here. In New York, that was the first cold weather Super Bowl. No roof on that stage. Got lucky.
Got lucky. It was like 50-something degrees of kickoff.
Next morning, I opened the blinds. This is back in February of 2014, and it is sideways snow. Every flight is canceled. It was this close to being a disaster. I think Peyton Manning wishes they had waited a week.
Yeah. Peyton Peyton can't blame the elements. It was just. Cam Chancellor lit someone up over the middle. Percy Harvin returned the kickoff for a touchdown.
That game was a wrap. It was all she wrote on that one. But Nashville getting the sewer. By the way, beyond that, Venture Minneapolis draft 2028. Expected to head to Minneapolis.
Okay. That is also an expected announcement at the league meeting. Both of these coming tomorrow, officially.
Okay, so 2027 draft is Washington, D.C. Washington, D.C. And then Minneapolis. 28 is Minneapolis. And we don't have anything on the radar for 29.
Correct.
So 28 is the next one. I believe, now we'll see like the renderings and things when this officially announced, but I believe it'll be: there's a big lawn outside US Bank Stadium right downtown Minneapolis. If you ever went to the old Metrodome, if you haven't been to US Bank Stadium, like it's right there in the heart of the city. Cool setup. Again.
Yeah, April. This was not a great spring. I'm just saying. April. You're running a little risk.
But I mean, we went to Green Bay. We went to Detroit. Detroit was freezing. Green Bay poured rain and it was still a party.
So the draft's a party, the Super Bowl will be a party. I don't, I would, I would bet against, and I can't give gambling advice. I would bet against snow. You can now. But actually, you can.
Actually, maybe I can. I don't think I'm anything NFL related. You're not. You can't. I'm in a gray area.
Are you still in a gray area? It seems like, yes. I mean, listen, I took all the training videos. There's a few questions I still have. You're thawing, Kayford.
About how Disney views this. Pretty sure I can't bet on NFL games or NFL events. I mean, I wouldn't advise that. I think it's probably for my best. And we're not going to ask you to.
All right. Google AI April Minneapolis weather. You don't need Google. I'm sitting here. It wasn't great.
All right, give it to me. April weather in Minneapolis is highly variable, bringing in a dramatic transition from brisk winter-like chills to warm spring days. Daily temperatures typically range from an average low of 32 degrees Fahrenheit to a high of 64. Oh, wait. Those sudden snowstorms and balmy 70-degree days can both happen.
Sudden snowstorms. I don't like that. Yeah, I don't sudden snowstorm. Are we snowing in late April? Yeah, what?
Not late April, but you might get a smattering here and there sometime in April. You'll get a. You get a little bit. I turned my put it this way, I turned my sprinklers on last week. And I was like, it was the day after it was not below freezing anymore.
Is all the snow gone? The snow is gone.
Okay. Things are growing abnormally, like usual. We'll have like three months, three months of like trustworthy good weather, of which at least a week or two will be 100 degrees and 100% humidity. But it's still a great place to be. Have you ever thought of moving?
Bye. It's come up, okay? Let's come up. I'll say this. I think I'll still be there for the 2028 draft.
In between calls from head coaches, it's come up. I'll find out what happens when I go over to NFL Network later today. Get the lay of the land. But I think. Tom, I'm pretty sure you're going to get more bang for your buck in Minnesota than you are if you move.
That's fair. Every time I drive, you know, through Manhattan Beach or something, and I'm like, you know, look up Zillow. And then I'm like, oh, hey, hey, hey, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, let's call it calmness down here. Come on, you know. And we got to.
So, unlike you guys, we have some folks that are ready and willing to play the schedule game. Let's go. Darren in Atlanta is going to kick things off, go where TJ Jefferson was not. Oh, wait, Cowboys win boss. Darren, are you excited and confident as I realize I don't think I have the NSF?
Wait, wait. You know, Tom, technically, we never do one of our coaches. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on, Darren.
Do you have my bags? Do you have my golf bags in Atlanta? It's your damn act. No, I do not. I'm sorry.
Okay, sorry. Thank you. Thank you. I had to ask, Darren. I don't like this at all.
Can I say? Long time listening to First On Call. I know versus in right now. But I love you guys. I love y'all, man.
Thanks, Dan. Appreciate you, dog. But let's do it. I don't appreciate you doing this. Wait, worse, Darren.
Hold on. We're doing Falcons. Darren or Calboys? No, Cowboys. No, no, no.
Cowboys, right here. If I may, if I may. Originally from New York, my entire family's from New York. My father brought me up right as a Dallas Cowboys fan. He got it through his cousin, so it's almost kind of like a virus in a way.
But, you know, glad to have it ready to do it. Let's go. All right, here we go. Dallas Cowboys win-loss. Darren in Atlanta kicking this thing off.
Week one at New York Giants. That's a dub. It's a win there. Commanders week two at home. Dub.
Week three against the Ravens in Rio de Janeiro. I don't. The travel, the lights. Uh we tend to not show up in big in big games.
So, I'd rather go ahead and get it out the way early as opposed to later in the season.
So, that's it. All right. Week four at Houston. Yeah. That's a dude.
We thought about it. He was ready to go immediate dub. Yeah. I'm I'm more It's more so about Houston's defense. than it is our offense or excuse me, their offense.
I don't have any f uh confidence in CJ Stroud, respectively. He hasn't shown me anything over, you know, his tenure. Um, I'd say that's a dub. Win there. 3-1 start.
All right. Short week. Buccaneers at home on Thursday night. At home? It did retool.
It did retool, but they lost their biggest piece in Mike Evans. Um I like Baker, but I have confidence in my defense. I think this is the week that our defense actually stands the task and really shows them what the new look is made of.
So I'm going to say it's a dub. Another win. Week six at Green Bay, Sunday Night Football. At Green Bay. Potentially Michael Parsons revenge game.
Nope, nope. I don't like this. That's an L. I like the honesty from Darren here. All right.
Week seven at Philadelphia Eagles on a Monday night. I can't curse. I won't do that to you guys. Please don't. But I hate them.
That's a win. I'll never give them the satisfaction of saying that's O. TJ, this is a week eight home. Week eight home against the Cardinals. Oh, I want my revenge.
You gotta spend the block. Last year was embarrassing. I remember the bar I was at. And the drinks were watered down. I was glad the TV only partially worked because we were getting smacked.
That's a tub. Week nine at Colts. 62 at the Colts. Mm-hmm. Who was it they picked up?
Um Oh, the corner, my man from the Jets. Yeah, Oscar. Yeah. Uh After Colts. No, not against Daniel Jones.
Are you kidding me? No, that's a dub. Ha ha ha ha. All right. Week 10, home against the 49ers.
Rivalry renewed. What do you got? It's one of those scenes where I want to say. Uh We're gonna finally get we we're we're due against them. We really are Um I'm gonna say I'm winning.
I mean that's that's now that one's a reach But I'm going to say it's not. Week 11, home against the Titans. Mm-hmm. But He laughs. Moving on.
Week 12, short week. Thanksgiving against the Eagles. 9-2, by the way. 9-2. Never.
I will never give them the satisfaction. Wow. He might hate the Eagles worse than you, TJ. Home again. Or excuse me.
Yeah. Week 13 at this road game, my mistake, at Seattle on Monday night. 13th week in a row with no buy yet. Yeah, no, I'm gonna say an L. That's an L.
All right, so we've got 10 and 3 at the bye, week 14 by, week 15 at Rams. That's oof. I mean, that might be a good one. You know, I feel like that one's going to be a high-scoring back and forth. Kind of slobber knocker, to quote JR.
What up, TJ? Um. I'm gonna say I said I said that. BAAC! I'm just laughing.
Week 16, home against the Jaguars on Sunday night. That's right, a Cowboys Jaguars game on national TV in week 16. The world has changed a lot. What do you got? That's.
That's that's odd. I I must have missed that one. I I didn't take a look at the schedule. Uh Jacksonville. That's that's kinda weird, but uh I'm gonna say that's a win.
Uh I like our chances. Yeah. Home against the Giants. My man, my man. High register, Darren.
Oh, come on. Yeah. That was a little freaking. Oh, no. You know.
Yeah, exactly. Two more. Week 17, home against the Giants. Home against the Giants? Mm-hmm.
Um. You know, I think the Giants are going to be sneaky this year. I really like. I really like what they did in the draft. I think they addressed a lot of needs.
Um interested in seeing Um How the coaching works out. But still. never you're gonna hear me say on a televised appearance That we're going to lose to the Giants.
So that's a dog. All right, final game at Washington, week 18. I really shape. And they got Sony Style like that. I really hate that.
Um. Plus, I mean, at this point, remind you, you're 13 and 3. You're probably resting your starters at this point. Oh, you're written in the division. Keep counting.
Yeah, that's a dub. Run it. 14-3 for the college, Darren. Great analysis.
Well done. That was a great start.
Well done. Thank you, fellas. Thank you, fellas. Thank you, guys. All right.
Let's have a good one. Let's do one more here. All right, let's kick it over to the AFC. Darren was laughing at the Tennessee Titans. I'm guessing that Jason in Chattanooga.
Not going to do the same. Titans, win-loss here. Are you ready, Jason? I'm ready, Tom. Here we go, man.
Week one, home against the Jets. I gotta win for the Titans. Week two, home against the Eagles. I'm going to sing the Rolling Tone songs. I can't get no satisfaction, but I'm going to give that a note for the Titans.
All right, week three at New York Giants. Do you think uh Wandale's gonna have a good game. I think they'll win that game in New York.
Alright, week four at Baltimore. Derek Henry? Mm-hmm. Okay. I'll take the L on that one.
2-2. Against his old team, week five, home against the Texans. I think we take down CJ Stroud on my mom's birthday. Week six. Happy birthday, mom at Colts.
Week six. I'm gonna take the win. Week seven, home against the Browns. Warren two. Speaking of snow, it snowed last time in Cleveland.
Mm-hmm. I don't think it snows in Tennessee in October. I think they win that game too. Uh week eight at Cincinnati before the bye week.
Now is Jamar Chase and Joe Burrow healthy? I'm gonna say yeah, they're gonna have a crazy game. Secondary gets banged up. They're going to take the L on that one. All right, so five and three going into the bye.
This is already the most successful Titans season in five years. Week 10, home against the Jaguars. Oh man. I'm gonna take the Titans in that one. Week 11 at Dallas.
You got laughed at by the last caller. What do you think? Yeah, I heard Darren. I'll give him that one. I'll take the L.
Week 12 at Jacksonville. I'm gonna take a jags.
Alright, week 13, home against the Commanders.
Okay. Jane Daniels. Yeah. I love you for LSU, but I'm not an LSU fan. I'm going to take the Commanders.
All right, so 6-6. Still in it.
Okay. In it, relevant football in December. As basic as the ASC South is usually a race of the nine wins. At Detroit, week 14. I'm gonna take the win.
We've been at Detroit. I remember that last time, too. I was at a Bucs game, and I was watching the Lions Titans game, and when. The old Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Mason Rudolph uh started. We were with them fourteen fourteen and then they kicked our butt.
Our week 15, home against the Colts. I think we beat the Colts. All right, week 16 at Raiders.
Now, is Mendoza going to start at this point? He's got to be starting at the start. Be surprised. What this point made We got I'm going to take the Titans. All right.
Another win. Nine and six on a hot streak here. Week 17, home against the Steelers. The last game in Nissan Stadium. That's right.
Are you going to be emotional about that stadium going away specifically? Do you have any emotions about that, Jason? I do, yeah. I remember being a season ticket holder in 2021 and watching that Titans team, you know, with Ryan Tannehill, Derrick Henry, A.J. Brown before he got traded.
And who knows, he might be traded again. But I will say the Titans will win their last home game. And their first home game. 10-6, week 18 at Houston. This could be, hypothetically, this could be for the division right here at Houston.
Knowing the NFL scheduling, if this is for the division, this game's in Saturday at like 3 o'clock. What do you got? Could be a flex game. Yep. Give me the hometown Titans.
Let's go. Titans 11-6 into the playoffs in all likelihood. Jason, thank you very much for playing the game. Thank you, Tom. Full line's still open.
844-204 Rich. We can do this a few more times. Anyone who wants to weigh in, play the schedule game with us. But after this, we got an overaction Monday. Can't believe I'm here.

Overreaction Monday. There's more. Presented by PayPal. Brockman, what do we got? Hit it.
That was terrible. That was crap. That was garbage. This place sucks. Overreaction Mondays.
Mondays. What's up, guys? Good to see you. I really botched that read. Let me give it to you one more time.
It's Over Reaction Monday, presented by PayPal. That's it. I'm going to read the rest of your card at the end. Yeah. No, go for it.
Is your luggage here, Brock? No, hopefully. Overreaction. I don't have my luggage. Guys, what's up?
TJ, good to see you, man. How's it going? What's up, man? How you been? Good man, good.
Top story: Aaron Rodgers is back. Mm-hmm. This is going to be Aaron Rodgers today at OTA's. This is going to be Aaron Rodgers' final NFL season. I don't think that's an overreaction.
I don't think we know because this is Aaron Rodgers. And if he announced In February, he's decided to go to Mars. You'd be like, Yeah, sure, maybe. Like, the way that he thinks about his life. his place in the world.
what he values. He's very connected to his own belief system. Um, I talked about it off the top of the show. For somebody who is a believer in the universe. And things happening for a reason.
If you want to sign from a universe, it's you get a chance to. Close your final chapter with the coach who brought you into the league and helped groom you into a four-time NFL MVP, and you won a Super Bowl together. That's a pretty cool story. If they make a run and Rodgers plays great, there's nothing to say he won't return for another season. But he's 42, he's going to be 43 in December.
You're already well past where most Hall of Fame quarterbacks have walked away. We all know Tom Brady played to 45. He was still playing at a pretty high level. He played in that flag football game a month ago at a pretty high level at 48. Probably could have kept playing.
But you're probably getting toward the end. If I had to lean, I would say I would lean toward this is it for Aaron Rodgers. But if it goes great, There's nothing to say They couldn't decide to run it back one more time. Like, if they win a playoff game, finally, you know, it's been a while for Pittsburgh. Is it more likely than not he's back next year?
He's here to win a Super Bowl. Aaron Rodgers is not here for the money. He's not here to just have a little more success. He was 10 and 6 to the starter last year. He's still ranked in the top half of the league and passer rating.
This is about him trying to win something Bigger. Can you imagine the capstone if they can make a run and get deep in the playoffs? I don't know that that's the end-all, be-all. It's going to come down to can Aaron still play well? They stay healthy.
He's had major injuries, including last year when he fractured his wrist. What sort of level is he playing at? What is the team success? Does this go as well as I personally believe it can with him and Mike, with all the stuff that they've talked through to get to this place in this moment? I can't say for certain, but I don't think it's an overreaction to say.
If you're guessing right now, before any of this is played out, two days after we agree to terms on a contract. I would lean toward this is it. Final run. All right, guys, we talked about it earlier. It looks like the Super Bowl is coming to Nashville, right?
Super Bowl 64. Mike, are you going to be retired by then, or are you going to be still working with us? We're working with us.
So, you're not going to be there. I'll be there as a guest. I'll be watching. Of who?
Okay, here's it. Of us? I don't think. I'll still be with you guys. He'll be hovering, like walking behind the Rich Eisen Show set.
I'll still be. Like, he'll be like, you know, I'm here a little, it sounds a little tinny down here. It's like, you know, if you just want to turn that, I think we can fix it. I can't wait. TJ, the hot chicken that week.
Oh, baby. Nashville will immediately enter the GOAT Super Bowl rotation with Las Vegas and New Orleans. Overreaction. It's just hard. The weather is unpredictable.
The cities that have built stadiums have gotten Super Bowls, including the one that went to Minneapolis. Like if we're set in the Super Bowl rotation. You know, Miami's out right now because their stadium's not. In line, there's things that don't dial up. Even though Stephen Ross has poured a ton of money into that stadium and the way they've built everything out, the F1 races and everything else that they have there.
But if you were asking me like the short list of places that I would actively want it to be, New Orleans should absolutely be in the rotation because of a relatively reliable weather. It's a great, walkable city. I think it's fair to say L.A. and Vegas are going to be in the rotation for years to come. Again, because pretty reliable weather-wise.
L.A. is just a little too spread out. I know the Super Bowl is coming here next year, but a little too spread out for me. I want a walkable.
Well, you're either going to stay downtown. That's where most of the hotels are. Or a walkable city, though. But everything else is spread out. No, I listen.
For me, the more compact everything is, the better. And Nashville will be pretty compact. Oh, yeah. If the weather's nice, it's gonna be awesome. If the weather's not nice, it's still gonna be pretty awesome.
But in the rotation. is hard if you don't have consistently reliable weather that time of year. What else? Vegas, that was number one, yeah. Vegas, number one.
That right here moves. Stuffly. Vegas is number one. Yeah. Alright, so last week, all the schedule release happens, right?
All the teams do their social media videos and all that fun stuff.
Now I have come on in this segment, TJ, and I have said, look. You have felt this way about Trevor Lawrence for a while, and I was like, you know, I was kind of pushing back, but I was like, you know, maybe it's time to cut the hair, okay? Maybe be an adult, right? And that'll take your game to the next level.
So I saw Jacksonville's social media schedule release video, right? And so it was fake, right? The fake hair. Got the haircut, and I saw that and I went, whoa! Trevor Lawrence, never cut the hair, bro.
Never, never cut the hair. Gotta keep it long forever. I'm going to say that is an overreaction. You got to keep the hair forever. I also think it's not an overreaction to say if he does cut it, it better not look like that fake cut that he got on the wheel.
Look at that. And I am a bald man. Look at that flow. It's a lot. You got to think, it's slowing him down at times.
I mean, that's you're carrying extra several pounds. Oh, yeah. I used to think that it was holding him back. And I saw the image of the fake haircut and the end result. Never Never cut The hair Trevor and I was in Duval over the weekend.
Great people. I really enjoy myself. Show the other cut, Real. Havert cut, show the fake cut. from the schedule release video.
Which, by the way, if you're gonna base the entire thing around a haircut, I gotta say, like, you gotta do it for real. You can't. You can't do the week. I just. This is like.
It's not quite Bieber. It's like a post-wave emo band, that's the lead singer. It's like if Carmella and Furio had a child on sopranos. Cordell and Furio. You know what I mean?
He's got a very strong jawline. I think that's part of why the hair works. He's got the square jaw. I think you need that to have. Like, if I grew hair to that length, you could.
I think it would come across a tad more feminine. I don't have strong enough features to offset. That much hair.
Well, you're not also, you know, 6'5 ⁇ , 220. chiseled. No offense. What are you saying? I'm just saying you're 5'10 and.
Not chisel. 5, 10, 165 pounds of twisted steel. You had the hockey hair over the combine. I'm bringing it back, by the way. Oh, you got the thumbnail.
Wife wasn't thrilled, but I delivered the news to the young lady who cuts my hair. I'm going again all summer. No cuts. The next haircut will be before you see me at the end of July. Wow.
Back out here to host this show. Wait, no, don't cut it before you come back.
Well, no, that's where promising. That's where you're just going to get it. We're going to get it kind of. No, absolutely not. No, trust me, you don't want to see the two-month straight through.
No, it is all of split ends and nonsense. It's rough. What else you got? You can change me. And what I have to do is changing up your haircut.
That's it. That's all I got. If you grew it out. I'd look like Larry David. Pretty much.
Oh my God. Do that, Brockman, please. Would it grow out white like Larry's? Do you have any idea what color it would be? Oh, no, I don't.
You know, I went with the beard a little bit post-Hawaii in March. Remember that, TJ? You guys were all about beard gang. And there was way more gray in that than I remembered the previous. I had a beard, and I'm like, oh, I can't do this anymore.
I feel like you'd be. Yeah, Brockman's or Del Tufo's still holding on. You would have gray hair. Is that a just for men joints? I've been divorced for a long time.
I did, but I mean, I admitted it, but now I got salt and pepper. I got great hair. He stopped. Good color. I think, Brockman, you'd end up more, you'd be more dark brown than Larry Davis.
I'd be pure white. Like, I think it would be, yeah, I can kind of see it on you. I feel like it would just, it would be because Larry like controls it. I feel like yours would just grow out sideways. Sideways?
Yeah. Yeah. I don't know. Yeah. The follicles have just been rerouted over many years of life.
I don't know. They're doing a lot of good things with science and peptides and stuff. Maybe I can get a full head of hair back. You can just go full Costanza and just get the rug and just pop it on. That would be great.
You were. Hey, we got a game tonight. We got Spurs and Thunder. We do. Game one.
And we got the Cavs and Knicks. Don't care about those two teams. But both conference finals, TJ, they're going at least six games. TJ? I hope so.
Really hope you're right about this. This postseason has been pretty good. I've read that the numbers that they're breaking all viewership numbers, even though everywhere you look on social media hard to find the games well that part's hard and you have a group of people who just like i don't watch basketball i'm not watching this and yet the numbers are saying that more people than never have watched so i'm confused tom or people not watching yeah i i would i would certainly say this and you made the point i am much more excited and interested to watch the western conference finals than the finals no offense to the knicks who have had a fantastic season and the cavaliers who the average casual fan who doesn't watch much eastern conference basketball probably watched yesterday were like so who are the other guys with james harden i mean it is a nondescript i know they've got some some real players a star it is a nondescript though like list of players and they're the four seed and you watch them i mean they dismantled the pistons yesterday but that also felt like as much the pistons just were completely discombobulated than it did the calves were that good they shot the daylights out in the first quarter and the pistons never got their stinger back i am i am genuinely excited to watch This game, game one tonight. Even if I would put the over-under at 19 and a half flops. I think Wemby has that, I don't know.
Maybe equating these two is wrong, but I, you know, in terms of interest, a kind of like a Caitlin Clark level for the casual NBA fan, I think, are really interested in seeing Wemby and seeing what, what, who is this guy? I mean, yes, he really is an alien, but he's so, I think he's so, he's got the charisma and obviously the match the skill. And San Antonio has been kind of the perfect foil for OKC this year. And it seems like there's real bad blood between him and Chet. And then you got the whole, you know, flop city that OKC's got going on with Shea winning back-to-back MVPs.
Whether or not you like his style of basketball, I think it could is going to be a really compelling, evenly matched series. Hopefully it goes seven games. I don't know. I just don't know. Yeah, what you said was that that is the hardest thing, finding them.
Because every night now I've got to like go on. All right, I check the guide.
Okay, it's not here, it's not here, it's not here.
Now I've got to like go on streaming. All right, is it Peacock? Is it easy if you're at like my house with smart TV and you have all the apps loaded and you can go between them? Being in the hotel last night and going, oh, I can't watch the game on the TV. I'm on the plane.
And I was in a robe, like with my iPad balanced on my knees, like watching on my iPad. I'm like, this is not how it was in the world. Why do we need to know you were in a robe? Yeah, I don't know why the robe was. That was pictures.
Now I've got this vision. I was trying to relax, and instead I'm. Yeah, but you could have just been like, I was chilling in the robe. You didn't have to like. I was trying to relax.
I was pumping iron down there. I hadn't gotten in the shower yet. I was freaking out. I'm a little lounge. Am I not allowed to lounge?
Yeah, but the robe. You didn't need the robe. We didn't need it. I did not need to know. I like a good hotel rope.
You know those all over the place. Do you think they wash those? They have to wash them. I like a good hotel towel. Good hotel robe.
That should be in a t-shirt. Oh, like I like a good hotel towel, too. I just, I simply choose not to think about ever where that towel or that robe is buried. There is no such thing as a good hotel towel. Don't do that.
No, there, absolutely. No, there's not. There are. There is. Because every hotel towel, I've been in hotel rooms and I've mopped up stuff with towels and I'm pretty clean.
So I can't imagine what that towel's seen from other people. There's not a good hotel pillow. Let's just all agree on that. You got to get the foam pillows. Yeah.
All right, last one. The feather pillows where you lay your head down and your head just goes straight through and is on the mattress. And then the pillows are just like earmuffs on you. That's every feather pillow. And why do the bed sheets have to be so tight?
That's a topic for another day. Can we get like a bad colour? You guys make your beds. Don't you make your bed in the hotel? I do make my bed.
It's bizarre behavior. Absolutely. The screen. We throw the covers over, but like it's so tight. I once almost tore a calf muscle trying to pull.
Would it kill you to give me a? an extra blanket. Yeah, that's just like one sheet and then this thin other sheet. It's like all right, last one. You talked about the Pistons kind of pooping the bed in game seven.
They did a little bit. It would have been better off if the Pistons got swept than to lose by 30 at home in game seven. No, I did. Overreaction. They were a 14-game win two years ago.
14-win team two years ago. They definitely came up, man. You need those experiences. You would rather lose by 30 at home in game seven. Yeah, but look, you'd rather get swept.
Here's the deal. This is going to help build them to next year when hopefully they take another step. We've seen all the great teams do this, right? They get kind of lumped in the playoffs and the conference finals trying to get to that next level. They kind of took their butt kicking.
They took that L. Hopefully next year they're able to step up. And then whoever gets Giannis and now their window's closed. If he's in the West, they don't have to worry about it. I think that it's always better, again, when you're coming from that place, to get as much experience as you can, even if it ends in epic, humiliating fashion.
I mean, you saw the Pistons fans in there last night. They're wearing all their ridiculous get-ups, and like, you can just see the stress and, like, oh man, I paid however much for these tickets. And, like, you did not show up at all. Not to mention, Cleveland's like a three-hour drive away.
So. Bunch of people sold their tickets to the Cavs fans coming up. Like, that's a miserable viewing experience when you take the step back. And I heard J.B. Bickerstaff say it after the game: you're not disappointed.
Like, think of where they came from. Think of how far, how much they had to do to get in this position.
Now, all of a sudden, you're a player. You hope it wasn't a complete mirage. You hope you're in this position, but like the pressure now ratchets up. You haven't been to an Eastern Conference final since what 2008?
Now, all of a sudden, you got one game away. You played terrible in that game, but you got one game away. Let's see. If you want to play with the big boys, you're going to have to have perhaps a more aggressive type of an offseason than you have in the past. It'll be fun to watch.

So I trust that Brockman will eat that again. Right. No, but I want to hear him say it again. No, Vikings are going 14-3. I'll eat the hat with Brockman.

On X. Kyler Murray's going for McCarthy. 14 wins. Come on. Kevin O'Connell has how many double-digit win seasons?
He has a 13-win season and a 14-win season. in his four years. I'm told this is the best division in football. Post this. To social media, so everybody's on the same page.
Stop it. But if this happens, No, I'm not I'm not letting you off the hook. You said it so confidently. I am holding you to it. The Rich Eisen Show Podcast.
