REShow: Hour 2

I've seen enough. This is the Rich Eisen Show. You know, I've seen enough of Zach Wilson.

We gotta do everything we can just to try and prove him wrong. Live from the Rich Eisen Show studio in Los Angeles. Just a total hot mess that is the New York Jets. They just got kicked in the stomach when they were planning for Aaron Rodgers to be everything for this franchise. Earlier on the show, NFL Network insider Tom Pelissero. Coming up, Steelers cornerback Patrick Peterson. Plus, your phone calls, latest news and more. And now, it's Rich Eisen.

Yes, indeed. Hour number two. The Rich Eisen Show is on the air on the Roku channel. Free on all Roku devices. Select Samsung Smart TV. Free on Amazon Fire TV. The Roku app, because the Roku channel's on it. The Roku channel.com.

All of those ways is how you can go and tune in to us every day between 12 to 3 Eastern time and then see the show re-air over and over again once we're off the air and you tune in right now and you can see Chris Brockman wearing his shirt all the way buttoned up to the top as he always does. And you're saying the comment section, what comment section are you seeing the same? People don't like it. People don't like it. Why don't they like it? You know what?

You know what it makes you look like? Untrustworthy. Makes you look, it's like, how do you trust a guy that does this? I think this is classy. Although Cooper, my 12 year old, wears his polo shirts, for the lack of better phrase, golf shirts all buttoned up to the top as well. He likes that too.

You and my youngest son are kind of lock-stepping. That's a good look. I don't know. It looks good on me. You know what I mean? Does it? The open buttons look good on you. This looks good on me.

Okay. Mind your business, people. So I would look even more untrustworthy if I did that? You don't look untrustworthy. Just because you're wearing a Raider hat? I don't, I don't, I don't.

By the way, you're in the home of the Raiders, essentially, this Sunday. I will be. I don't trust people with tattoos.

So, that's just my take. He doesn't trust himself. You can trust yourself. DJ, what's up over there, sir? How are you? I mean, when I, on the rare occasion that I do wear a shirt with buttons, I'm like Brock when I go all the way up, like Fat Joe. Okay.

Fat Joe. Oh my gosh. Hey, look, one thing that I love to do other than this show and professionally, you know how many times I've said this too? Susie's not a big fan when I say it all the time.

I was put on this planet to put away, give away cash and prizes. Of course, I agree. So whenever I do game day, mornings, game nights, you know, where I'm a host of whatever game we're playing, Family Feud this past week, where Mooch cheated significantly. Oh, in what way? Oh, dude. I missed that.

Dude. You missed it? It was a Family Feud where Irv- It's a four-hour show.

I can't catch every segment. Well, no, Irv and Kurt. We played, Irv had one team with Mooch on it and Kimmy Chex, and I believe Gerald McCoy was on that. And then another team with Kurt and Cynthia Freeland and Kyle Brandt, who was in studio. And the reason it was Kurt versus Irv, because it was Cowboys versus Cardinals.

Right. And so all the answers were Cardinals and Cowboys related. And so the final category, and the winner would take the game, is which quarterback has the most passing yards, Cardinals quarterback, most passing yards against the Cowboys? Obviously, you know, Kurt wasn't in the top three answers, which is kind of the wink and the nod from the game day producers with sharp elbows. And it just, whoever got the number one answer was going to win. And the first person to choose was Kimmy Chex, who says Jim Hart, who played in the late sixties to the eighties, long before Kimmy Chex was probably a twinkle in anybody's eye. And we just started smelling a rat. Like, what's up with that? How would she know Jim Hart?

How would she know Jim Hart? Wow. Sure enough.

Was it number one? Of course. Game over. Sure enough. Kurt's losing his mind. Kurt was losing his mind.

Sure enough. There is video captured on one of the many cameras of Mooch mouthing the words, Jim Hart to Kimmy Chex, like a child, like an absolute total child, mouthing the words. So God bless our producers, Luke LeSord and Andy Gregg. We got a red challenge flag. We gave it to Kurt in the final segment of the show to throw it and put the video up on the screen of Mooch absolutely cheating. Wow.

But it's Family Feud. No. You're not cheating, you're not trying. You're not cheating. You can't share answers? No. No, you don't. No, not only if you're trying to steal. Yeah, only when you're trying to steal.

No, it's like, you know. And the crazy thing is, I don't think anybody would have gotten Jim Hart. And after, I'm sure someone, whoever was up for Team Kurt would not have guessed it, Mooch was next. He could have won fair and square.

But no, no, he had to cheat and mouth the words, Jim Hart. I respect it. Do you really? I absolutely do. By the way, I bring all this up because other than giving away cash and prizes, what I think I've been put on the planet to do that I have yet to do is appear on the competition committee of the National Football League. I deserve a spot there. There does appear to be a need for a fan representative on the competition committee. Well, you're an employee, you're not a fan. I am a fan at heart, sir.

But being an employee should be a pathway to getting a seat here. I've watched enough football and I talk enough football and I talk to enough people who love football to know what fans want. And I don't understand this time clock, the play clock in the NFL, when it hits zero, that refs wait a beat before throwing the flag. Could you imagine in the NBA, if you waited a beat after the 24 second clock expired?

It would change so much. What? What? Like, why can't there be a loud ass buzzer, you can call it that, the lab. The lab, the lab.

Okay. The one in the lab. The NFL should have a lab in every stadium cause you got sirens. You got third down for every third down.

You got all that stuff. You have a grown man in every stadium whose job it is to just bellow third down into a microphone every time the opponent has a third down. Seriously. And by the way, if I asked my 15, 12 and 10 year old, would you like a job where there's a microphone to 70 to 80,000 people, depending on the size of the stadium where you could bellow the words third down into my, they say, absolutely.

What a child's gig it is. So if you got all that, you could set up a loud ass buzzer, a lab to go off when the play clock hits zero. So everybody knows if that ball hasn't been snapped yet, you see, you could see on a replay is the knee down before the ball starts moving. Wait a minute. Is that toe down before the heel hits the white paint?

I mean, ask Mike to do that well. We are damn skippy. All of these things are in the NFL bag, but we're, why can't we see, has the snap begun when the lab loud ass buzzer goes off? And last night, I knew it. I knew it when Jordan Love was trying to sneak in one last play down forever, down a ton of points. I knew it, man. I knew it when he got that play off and there were zeros on the clock. I'm like, there's no question that was after triple zeros. And as the ball was in the air, I'm like, this will absolutely be a completion. Absolutely 44 yards.

Hey, man, I know the Lions put their stamp on it in the fourth quarter, but that could have wound up being a huge play. What's with the extra beat? What is with it? Oh, it's zeros, but we're letting it, so it's not zeros. It's not zeros. The play clock when it hits zeros is not actually, you're out of time.

You're out of time. Zero plus. Except for the beat. Zero plus. Zero plus. Zero plus. Zero plus. Except for the beat, it's zero plus. Everything's plus these days.

Yes, it's zero plus. And a loud ass buzzer, lab, would fix it. What is it?

Not the lab. You know, you're just like, so it's, eh, I don't know. Time's up. Something. What? It could be that.

That would just be confusing to people. What? Am I, please push back.

You could call 844-204-rich. I'm always up for rules conversation. Always. But what was that last night? What are we doing? Isn't zero mean zero? I mean, zero means that's it. We're out.

You're out of time. Zero plus means not, like what are we, it's like the tuck rule with all due respect. Like what's with the gray area?

What's with the beat? Oh gosh, you're taking a ball from up here. You're bringing it down here for a while we're just gonna, we're gonna consider that a forward pass. Even though the process of taking it from here and bringing it and tucking it is the absolute maneuver of an individual who no longer intends to throw. So that should be no longer passing. It should be actually trying to run with it. Thus a fumble, which is what the NFL eventually came up with after I was pushing for it.

And they would have reached it much sooner had I had a spot on the competition committee. Debatable, but. No, it's not debatable. The point clock is that no one is specifically watching it for the entire 40 seconds. You know, the referee is watching the line of scrimmage.

Of course. And he's watching the quarterback and he's watching for illegal motion and illegal shift. You know what would help? And then it just happens when it hits zero, he looks up and then he looks back down and it's snapping.

Oh, they're snapping it. You know what would help with that? A buzzer. A loud ass buzzer. But not just any buzzer, it's gotta be loud ass. Gotta be loud ass. Because you got people screaming and yelling.

Well, I mean, if it's Seattle or Arrowhead or whatever, it's very loud. Hey, we couldn't hear the loud ass buzzer. Shoo, shoo, shoo, shoo, shoo. You could have Jonathan Gannon doing the shoo shoo noises.

What's up? That's a bad no. That's the one I want right there. Imagine a whole stadium. I don't think the NFL would be up for that.

Well, you're on the committee, you gotta make a pass. Bud Lightwood, right? Is that who it was back in the day? Is it, which beer was it? Bud Lightwood? Bud Lightwood. Hey, the official beer of the NFL? If it, well, I don't know what it is anymore. I think it still is, yeah, still it's Bud Lightwood. Okay, and the official loud ass buzzer.

The official lab. Another one. Hey, we're on a roll here. We didn't discuss it yet. We've been planning to discuss it.

I know, we've been planning on it. Would have worked, would have came in handy last night. Would have been way cooler than the onside kick that went out of bounds. Like, why can't we get a fourth and 18 play or whatever it is? Fourth and 15, I think it is. Go to the analytics, whatever, come up with, because onside kicks are converted. The Rams versus the Bengals.

Are two, 3%. Why are we watching somebody kick a ball like it's a helicopter, like a little whirly bird? Never gets converted. When was the last time you saw a converted onside kick? At least with the fourth and 15, whatever play, here's the issue though. You're giving teams down two scores a chance. You give them one shot to use it during a game, and if they convert it, they get another one. So when you're down 16, you're still alive.

And that makes the last five minutes of a game, when it's seemingly a blowout, much more entertaining. Well, here's the issue with that, is what's the unintended consequence? I don't know what the unintended consequence of the loud-ass buzzer would be. I can't imagine there is one, like when somebody gets scared, there's a false start, but it plays dead anyway, once a loud-ass buzzer goes off.

You're seemingly only doing these at the end of games. I get it, but why wouldn't somebody, like let's just say if this existed on Monday night, Rams score late, they're down three, they need one more possession, Stafford lines up from, what would you say, his own 30, is that what it is? Where would you start it? I think own 30, where you would kick off.

Own 30, I would maybe push it back a little bit more. I'd start at the 20, because now people would be less apt to use it, say in the third quarter, second quarter. We only get one shot, you get one shot a game. Only get one shot a game. Give them one opportunity.

One shot a game. And if they convert that, then they get a second one, a second challenge. But if I'm a team that's up three, why would I want somebody, if they convert it, they're already one more first down away from trying to field goal to win it? Or tie it? You know what I mean?

Well fourth and 15 from the 30, that's around 45, they would still need another, yeah, maybe another 15 yards after that. That's what I'm saying. You make it a little tougher. Okay. Totally okay with that. So start it from the 20. Fine. Okay. And you're talking about, why wouldn't they just pass, interfere, or whatever on every play, right?

That's right. Why wouldn't you constantly pass, interfere? People like a regular play. Automatic first down. Automatic first down. So you're now putting this in the hands of the officials. Everything else is in the hands of the officials. I get it, I get it.

But sometimes they swallow whistles. I mean, ask the Ravens fans about what happened with Zay Flowers. Yep.

This past week. Make a better throw, run a better route. So you- It just makes the game more exciting and gives teams chance to come back. Any illegal contact away from the play. Five yard first down. Any illegal, hands to the face.

And a put it like that. Automatically is at first down. Illegal contact, holding, whatever. Those are only five yard penalties. So if we start them at the 20, they still have to go 40 yards. But they get the ball. But they'd keep the ball and it would make the game more exciting. Or would it be fourth and 15 from that spot? A redo of a fourth and 15? Untimed downs. Or not.

You know what I mean? Like, are they untimed? Well, it's not untimed because we're still in the game. Okay, so then why, if there's 20 seconds to go, wouldn't I continuously give you five yards to take time off the clock game over? That's a unique strategy.

I doubt teams would do that. I'm not telling you that, but. I don't have a seat there, even though I should. But these are the conversations that are had on the competition committee. Where they're like, okay, then what? Okay, then what? Because there's always an unintended consequence.

There's always one of them. But if you're changing every rule to skew towards offense, which is what the league has done in the last decade, whatever, why not throw this in there? Because the onside kick only favors the receiving team. An onside kick, a team scores down two scores with under a minute to go. They score and now they have to onside kick. It's 98% that the receiving team is recovering it. So make another rule, like let's keep the game going.

You want action, you want the red zone, you want the witching hour to be even more crazier than it already is. Let's put something like this in. So teams down more than two scores under four minutes still have a shot. What do you think?

Or to use something Chris would say, just don't get down that much. You won't have to worry about it. Sure, but I'm talking about bad game.

This is still, this is about the overall price. There's always going to be a knee at some point. I don't have any answer to this, to be honest. No, but do you like the idea of a fourth and 15? I'm not saying to solve the Rubik's Cube, I guess just on its face. I do. I do too. I do.

I do too. But I can remember when I first heard it, I didn't, you know, I think it's just one of those things. You have to see it and then realize. Certainly if you've removed the damn kickoff already. Didn't I see a fair catch on the 12 yard line recently?

I believe you did. You know what I mean? So it's like you've essentially neutered the kickoff. You've essentially neutered it. Yeah. And kickers are still needed on your team for field goals. So you've essentially neutered the kickoff.

Not in Larry David's world though. Right. So why not just go ahead and get rid of the onside kick? The deep kicks are just, we're done. Kickoff returns are finished. They're officially done. Moments like Naeem Heinz last year for Buffalo, scoring a kickoff touchdown, the first kick of the ball back after Damar Hamlin survived. And then doing it again later on in the second half. Those days are over, finished and done with.

Might as well just take the onside kick and throw it on that scrap heap too. And try this out and figure out, put me on the seat, give me a seat. Put me in coach. I'm ready to discuss.

Today. That, the loud ass buzzer, and then I know this is asked and answered. They've fumbled into the end zone. We got to figure that one out too.

That's your first order of business. It is because it's going to happen in the Super Bowl and a bunch of people are going to be watching for the first time all year or in a rarity and go, what do you mean they fumbled through the end zone and they don't get the football? Learn the rules.

Oh no, I'm sorry. So it's fumbled on the one inch line. You get it back, but if it's fumbled two inches further or past the pylon, you don't. That's the way it works. Is that literally your strongest argument?

What if it happens in the Super Bowl? Yes, that's one of them. Yeah. Well, weak. Okay. Objection overruled. Thank you. Well, you're not on the competition committee either.

So tough noogies, as we said back in Camp Locanda. Do I not? Serious people. I would go into the competition committee and say that first. Rich, you know who they put on the competition committee right now? Go ahead.

Yeah, go ahead. Taylor Swift. Oh God.

They definitely put her on it. So you gotta like teach her these rules so she can go in and act as your proxy. Well, all I would say is the T-Swift approach I would have is I'd LFG on all this stuff. Step right in, like I'm sitting next to Mama Kelsey and curse my head off and tell them how it should be done. All right, let's take a break.

What's more likely? When we come back also, you know what? I should sit on the competition committee as well for Major League Baseball and they would be- All the committees. Oh my gosh, my first order of business there would be term limits for certain umpires. That's next.

And I know Bryce Harper would be my lead witness. That's next. This is The Rich Eisen Show. Hey, it's Rich Eisen, you want an exciting and fast paced podcast based on one of the most popular segments in the history of The Rich Eisen Show? Well, you got it. Overreaction Monday, hosted by me, Rich Eisen and my compadre, Chris Brockman.

You absolutely what you need to hear, overreaction Monday, every single wait for it Monday, wherever you listen. It could be information to change your life forever or the Something You Should Know podcast could just be something interesting. My guest is Kim Zochman.

She is author of the book, There's No Cream and Cream Soda. I don't think I've ever really known the story of why they're called hot dogs. There is so many legends about the name of the hot dog. When the Germans immigrants came over and they brought all their sausages, they also brought their dachshunds.

It really is because they kind of look like dachshunds. Something You Should Know, wherever you listen. You're like publicist to the stars, Zach Rosenfield, right, Chris? I do, big fan.

Of course, he's been with this organization, if you will, forever and a day. Also hooked you guys up for... That's right. For the... Jake Paul and Nate Diaz.

The Nate Diaz fight? Yeah, hashtag weird crew, hashtag weird crew. He texted me, he doesn't like the look either. He texted me that, he texted me, I hate it. It makes me sad. Okay.

But I thought he was talking about... Let's do this, let's do this, just for, let's do this, just for, shall we say, you know what's in giggles? Okay. I'm gonna do this. And want me to undo it?

And you undo one yourself. That's fair. I'll do the Brockman and you do... You want me to do what you do, like two? Well... You show a lot of the... Well, I don't have the sweater underneath as much as you do.

With the shirt all mammal. Okay. Hold on a minute, see? That's, that's, I don't, I mean... Well, you're making a... You don't have to be that wide, I mean... And that's how Rich has it.

No, it's not. You don't have to be like Andy Reid in a... Rich, that's the move. In the coach's photo. Then look at me. That's the move right there, B. Buttoned up. This? I'd like that on you.

I'd like it. It looks good. No, it doesn't. Yes, it does. Yes, it does. It looks like a first grade picture. Of course it does.

Exactly. No, he looks phenomenal. No, buttoned up is better. No, I look like I should be in the movie Witness.

Buttoned up is better. You look great. I should raise a barn. I should be in a barn raising in this. You don't look Amish, trust me, I know them.

He just sent me, he just sent me here conversation. There you go. I mean, you do look sloppier, you're right. I look sloppy. Yes.

I mean, that's because of the other thing. No, he looks sloppy. I'd like yours buttoned up, Rich, man. Yours looks good buttoned up. That ain't happening, not happening. I'm buttoning back up. You want to just show the taco meat? That's one way to say it.

That's one way to say it. Welcome back to the Rich Eisen Show Radio Network. I'm sitting at the Rich Eisen Show desk, furnished by Grainger. With supplies and solutions for every industry, Grainger has the right product for you.

Call clickgrainger.com or just stop by. As you've talked about, just talked about what I would be doing if I was on the competition committee in the NFL. Competition committee of Major League Baseball.

I would first think, first thing I'd do is I'd go in there and say, well done, well done. The rule changes this year. Honestly, how much were we talking about it in the non-playing season? We are just at the end of the regular season. We're on the cusp of playoff baseball. And I thought the clock, the pitch clock would be a major issue, major.

And it hasn't been at all. And I know there was a conversation about extending the pitch clock for post-season play. Because again, that stupendous, all time great, Otani versus Trout, World Baseball classic finale, pitcher, batter, confrontation. Every single pitch would have been a pitch clock violation because of how Otani's staring in, Trout standing there, tension building. It would have been a pitch clock violation, every single one of them. And Ranford came on and goes, yeah, we'll just keep an eye on it.

Not an issue. Who misses the shift? Not a single soul on planet earth.

Not a soul is sitting there saying, you know what? I wish that third baseman was standing in short right field to catch a line drive that would ordinarily be a base hit any other time. Nobody, nobody, the bigger bases steals. Honestly, let me ask you this question. You've watched more Braves baseball than any human in this studio.

I've watched a lot. Do you think the larger bases had anything to do with the first ever 40-70 in the history? No, absolutely not. He would have stolen with smaller bases? Yes.

You sure? Smaller bases? We're talking about two inches, so four extra inches? But just that, honestly, I'm not saying that we should get every- The biggest thing that has been- Hold on a second, the idea of the pitch clock plus the idea that, you know- The bigger bases has nothing to do with it.

I don't know. It's the inability to throw over. You can't throw over 14 times during an at bat. That's true. You have a limit on that. That's why stolen bases are up. I kind of like the bigger bases too. I mean, there has to have been more people reaching and stealing based on just, in the game of inches- You sound like Bill Platschke.

There's two inches on either side. Okay. By the way, I've never been accused of that.

He's the worst. 3,000 stolen bases for the first time in 11 years. But I think that'll- It's not being able to hold a runner. That's why stolen bases are up.

Right, that's one, too. But put it all together, kudos. The time of games have dropped. It's much more watchable.

25 minutes quicker. Oh, it's been great. It's unbelievable. I have not thought, it hasn't appreciably changed very much at all. Oh, I mean, I was totally wrong on all of that.

It's been great. New rule, and I'm sorry to say this. He might be a sweetheart of a guy. I don't know. But the new rule is Angel Hernandez must no longer be a Major League Baseball umpire. I mean, out, out, out, sir. Get out.

You, get out. Bryce Harper checked his swing last night. Everybody check out the video. It's on, I'm sure, MLB's app. It's all over social media.

It's all over the place. Third inning last night against the Pittsburgh Pirates. 3-2 pitch. Absolute checked swing.

I mean, there's no way he went through. Third base umpire, Angel Hernandez. Let's check with him. Oh, throws him.

He calls him out. Bryce Harper, I'm sure. I mean, Schwarber's been at him. Like, honestly, the Phillies might have a dartboard in their clubhouse with the bullseye as a photograph of Angel Hernandez. And he's just had enough.

And he's a star of the game. He throws him out because he does, you know, go 10 feet up the third baseline and start barking at him. But who do I, you know, honestly, I want to see Bryce Harper play a full nine innings in his Mike Schmidt throwbacks, you know. That's jerseys in baseball? I love them.

They're so good. Well, the Cardinals throwbacks too, similar color scheme too. So listen, this guy, how many times is baseball going to let this man screw it up? And you know, he's going to make a postseason crew. He's got tenure. He's been there forever.

What do you do about it? Bryce Harper, after the game, in which, as he was ejected, flipped, I mean, just took his batting helmet and how many rows deep? Would you say 15, 20 rows deep? It was a hell of a toss. By the way, it wasn't overhand. It wasn't overhand. He underhanded. He underhanded it. It had to go over the net. Man, what a throw. Great throw. I thought he was going to throw it at Angel though. Like, I'm glad he didn't. He's got his helmet.

I was like, he's going to hit him with it. He did it for a very long time. Yeah. And they're heading to postseason play. It's a lurking, I might add, in postseason play. They were dangerous last year.

They did the same thing. Lurking. Came on late. In postseason play. So this is what Bryce Harper had to say afterwards. You're grinding in and out of bat. Basically, I've never faced before and I get to three, two count.

You know, take a slider down and in. Obviously didn't go and wasn't even thinking about it in that situation. I was taking my stuff off and I heard the crowd's reaction. And I was just like, there's no way. You know, just Angel in the middle of something again. I mean, it's just every year. It's the same story, same thing. I'm probably going to get a letter from Michael Hill and I'm going to get fined for being right again. So it's just, it's the same thing over and over and over and over again.

And just not right. He didn't say anything to you, did he? He just told me if I saw the replay that, you know, I would know that I was wrong.

So, I mean, yeah, so. Take it, you've seen the replay? I didn't get to see the replay. Let me tell you, because I've seen the replay.

Take a wild stab. Bryce Harper's right. Angel Hernandez is wrong.

Not just wrong, very, very wrong. Oh, so sure of himself. It's just, again, it's the arrogance on top of it.

The arrogance on top of the incompetence equals, get the hell out. He's right that I would, again, I'm going to get fined for being right again. That should be on a T-shirt.

I would buy it. Oh my gosh. What's baseball going to do here? They have to do something. Can't they do anything? Isn't this like maybe like jury selection? They ever, you have a preemptory? Like you're not in the post-season.

Honestly, he's in the middle of it. Can you challenge those? I don't know. Maybe you need to. How about this?

You can only challenge it when it's Angel Hernandez. Oh my God. Just terrible.

All right. You know, one thing, one thing I'm surprised you guys didn't mention because you'd like to pick this, point this out. Bryce Harper's hair was just flowing.

Well, I mean, it's a season post-season form. This is it. Oh my God. You guys usually pick up on that.

That's a double a hairdryer situation. I thought he sounded a little bit like- Have you seen it? Sounded like Chris Long. Apparently the fan who caught his helmet got it autographed. He autographed the helmet. Look at this little boy. Fantastic.

10 year old. Billy, Billy. Oh yeah. His name is Dorfman? That's incredible. Hayden Dorfman.

Wow. Look at this, a 10 year old. And it's just, again, you know, the only thing, keep this photograph up because it's a beautiful boy, smiling with a, this is the silver lining. This is a young man being made happy by Angel Hernandez's incompetence, infuriating somebody so much that he's got a souvenir for life forevermore.

What's the story behind this, Hayden? Well, there was once upon a time, some umpire was so terrible that he ejected Bryce Harper for being right again. And you know what? That's a good thing.

You know what? Maybe Angel Hernandez should umpire more games because then more 10 year olds will be happy. Oh my God, is he terrible? The little kid said, this is the best baseball game I've ever been to. Oh my God, my favorite player got ejected in the third inning because Angel Hernandez sucks. And I got a helmet. I got a helmet out of it because it infuriated Bryce Harper so much, he flipped it over the net and I got him to sign it.

I've never seen anybody do that, by the way. What a story. Usually to get a helmet at a ball game, you gotta eat 48 pounds of nachos. I know, that's amazing.

Or ice cream, you gotta find ice cream out of it. Oh my goodness. Yeah, I've literally never seen anybody throw their helmet.

No, it was amazing. Over the net too. Very impressive.

Bryce Harper. This is the best game I've ever been to. Let's go to the guest line. Legend. Zach, are you on the phone? Publicist at the SARS? You're there, Zach? I'm here, Rich. What's on your mind, Zach?

What do you got? Very concerned about Chris Brockman. Because of his button-up shirt?

Is that what it is? Yeah, and yeah, I mean, it's like, first of all, Rich, it's well-documented. I'm bald and I'm broad-shouldered. And Chris is bald and he's broad-shouldered. And we have a commitment to always having to be on point when we do not have hair like Bryce Harper.

And for him, he's been doing this for a long time. I've been keeping an eye on this. I don't like it. We both like Ted Baker. We're both big Ted Baker guys. Okay.

Can't happen. He needs to take a look at you and the way you button. I sent you a picture of how I look with my button and how I do it. I look fantastic. All right, here's the image. Oh yeah. There is no room for error for us bald guys. Well, it's also somebody shot down on this photograph clearly, Zach.

And you probably had a lift that day and everything. It's a good picture of you. It's like, you're not, it's not, yeah, I mean, this has been edited. That picture is with two coworkers and I did not need to bring them into the fray. That's true.

This has been edited. Yeah. I mean, this is a very handsome photograph for you. I'm not gonna lie.

And don't ever forget, Rich, too, how somebody's collar sits and how somebody's collar rests is a window into their soul. Okay. Are they sloppy? Are they strong? Are they buttoned up? Do they have it together? Sloppy.

Rich Isaac. I'm not sloppy. There's nothing sloppy though.

Do you need to call your wife and ask if you're sloppy? Oh God, don't even start. Don't start. How dare you, Chris? How dare you?

How dare you? That's right. By the way, Chris, Rich, I took a look at USC schedule and I saw that they play Utah and Oregon this year.

That's fantastic for me. Zach Rosenfield, in case anyone knows, is a diehard Oklahoman sooner. And despite representing me and how I come across frequently posts photographs of him flipping the middle finger at the Texas Longhorn bench and hates Lincoln Riley with a fury of a thousand suns. So you and I were both rooting for Dion this weekend, right, Zach? Is that how it's working? Yes. I think that Chris's girl, Sarah, made a joke about the Patriots and who she would root for.

And I'd root for them too over USC. Very good. Thanks for the call, Zach. Appreciate it.

Thank you. Anytime he wants to call in his lives, bald on bald crime, is what you call it? We're in a fight.

Brockman's bald head is shining like a full moon. Good one. Thank you, Eric Dickerson.

It is that. All right, here's what we're gonna do. We're gonna take a break in a second and then we'll come back and do what's more likely. But in the meantime, I wanna tell you about Game Time Tickets, new Rich Eisen Show partner.

We come back, what's more likely on this Friday edition of the Rich Eisen Show with Patrick Peterson of the Steelers still to come. Back here on the Rich Eisen Show, 10 year anniversary, you said, of the finale of Breaking Bad? Yes, I believe so. Wow, 10 years ago today.

I'm gonna double check that real quick. The scene that made him break down, Rich, that's our second most popular video. Of all time on our YouTube.

Of all time, yeah. We might have to reel that one up for our social scene for today. 10 year anniversary of the finale.

I'm making sure, original air date, September 29th. And then we had him for an exit interview on our podcast, right, Chris? We had Vince Gilligan.

That ended up turning into like 90 minutes. Right, because I fan-boyed him at an airport going to a Thursday night football game in Tampa. He was about, for some reason, he was on the plane and I knew who Vince Gilligan was and what a big fan of the show and he had no earthly idea who I was. He doesn't know either. Not a sports fan.

Not really much of a sports guy. I said, I'd like you to come on my podcast and his answer to that was, sure. Yeah, originally it was gonna stay 30 minutes, stayed 90. Yeah, yeah. Left the season one Better Call Saul writer room. Wow.

To come hang out with us. Man, that was like 2012 or something. Well, he was the first in-studio guest in the history of this show.

Nine years ago, coming up next month. Best. And then just drive it. New Mexico is beautiful. Beautiful. Everywhere you look, it looks like a painting, you know? Then you start staring at the desert and you're gonna go, wait a minute, is that a turtle?

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. Was that in Mexico or New Mexico? I feel like that was, good question. I don't know, actually. Tortuga.

Tortuga. Oh my gosh. Back here on the Rich Eisen Show, AutoZone, folks. Stream the NFL on Westwood One for free. Sponsored by AutoZone all season long.

Actually, I lived in Farmington when I was there. How's Bristol doing? Aaron, what's going on? It's A-A-Ron. Oh, it's, ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. I'm sorry. I didn't mean it. Not A-A-Ron, but I am an A-A-Ron. Okay, I didn't mean to mispronounce your name.

I think we have it. A-A-Ron. Where are you? Bristol, Connecticut. Had no idea.

Bristol, Connecticut, classic. Okay. All right, you're talking about these rule changes. Yes, I am. Now.

This is funny. I have a rule change I wanted to run by you. Because if you're going to be on a committee, I'm going to want to, you know, you're going to have to do this rule change for me.

Go for it. Imagine you're the offense. You have the ball on your own five yard line. It's first and 10.

You commit a personal foul penalty. It's half the distance to the goal. I mean, you have a whole field in front of you.

Okay. Why not move the first down marker out 15 yards? I don't, I, for 30, 40 years as an NFL fan, I don't understand why they do that. So instead of moving half the distance to the goal, you actually, because you think it's a 15 yard penalty, you should get every yard thrown against you. So you move the yardage marker further out is what you're saying. Right, exactly. Because I think the penalty is to be, nothing's worse than moving back.

You know, I understand that it's, instead of it, you're now what? First and 22 and a half from the two and a half yard line? Or would you rather have- I wouldn't want to be anywhere near my goal line.

I wouldn't want to be anywhere near my goal line ever. That's what I'm- Now, it's coincident because you guys are talking about breaking bad. I know Del Tupo's backup is there today, but this would be Del Tupo's department. He does a lot of the drops. Obviously he does all the drops. Yeah.

He does a perfect job. You guys are always talking about building your empire. Yes. Now, there's a scene where Walt was talking to Jesse about, he's like, remember when you asked me if I'm in the meth business or the money business? And Jesse's like, yeah. He's like, I'm a neater. I'm in the empire business. That's right.

That's the drop I want to hear when you guys are talking. Okay. Well done, A-A-Ron. Well done, A-A-Ron. Thank you.

What a great idea. We're on it. R.E.S.

Consulting is on it. Don't worry about it. The backup, don't worry about it. You're the backup. He's been inspired to call it. Just the backup.

Look, the graphics have been changed. It's A-A-Ron and Bristol. All right. Let's go to Southington, Connecticut. Bellocca, you're on, no, okay. Bellocca. De-nice.

Jaquelin. I started looking for the line. All right, you can go down that wormhole. Let's not do that. It's a mophie. Present. All right. It's a Friday. It's a Friday. It's time for What's More Likely. Please hit it. What? What's more likely?

Never say never, but never. All right, here we go. It's a Friday.

What's more likely? Hit it. What do you got, Christopher? Hey, what's up, guys? Everybody good? Hey. What's up, cousin? Hi.

I don't know why that always surprises you. I just, yeah, we're good. What up, though?

The game of the year is being, going down Sunday in Chicago. Oh, God. Who's more likely to be their team starting quarterback next year? Russell Wilson or Justin Timberlake? Oh, look at you.

Look at you. I think it's gonna be Russ. I think they're just, they can't, I think he's got one more year, at least.

Russ has been playing all right. Courtland Sutton put it on the turf twice, man. You know what?

At some point, you're gonna have to stop. You know, it was a remarkable finale for Devin A. Chain now that he's Devin A. Chan? A. Chan? Yeah, A. Chan.

You know, he went out like an A. Chan. Yeah, I'll just say contractually, it's Russell Wilson. But if the Bears keep losing, Justin Fields is elsewhere. He will be elsewhere. Maybe it'll start for Ryan Day for the Patriots.

What's more likely, Chris? I don't hate that. You don't hate that? I don't, I don't, I don't. Okay. Hi, Register.

I just saw a terrible Mac Jonestad that made me rethink my pick this weekend. Okay. Cool.

I'll go, I'll go, it's more likely that Russell's starting in Denver. Yeah. All right, the actual game of Sunday, Miami Buffalo.

Yes, sir. Could be a shootout. No Jordan Poyer, by the way.

Ooh, that's bad news. For the Bills. That's more likely to be the higher total. Touchdowns in Dolphins-Bills or the leading receivers catches in Pittsburgh Texans? Total touchdowns in Dolphins-Bills or leading receiver catches in Steelers Texans? That's Pickens. That's Nico Collins.

That's Tank Dell. I'll go total, I'll go touchdowns in Dolphins-Bills. How about this one? Different one. Total, what are we here?

Let me get this one right. Total touchdowns and add it up to the leading receiver catches in that game. Not total, take the leading receiver. How many catches that leading receiver has? Yep.

Okay. Add it to the total touchdowns. Number of points the European Ryder Cup team has by the end of the weekend. Well, right now it's looking like one of those Blowouts. 20 to eight blowouts. So add up the touchdowns from Miami and Buffalo. Eight, nine.

Seven to eight. And total catches of the leading receiver in Steelers and Texans. What's higher, that total or the number of points the European Ryder Cup team has by the end of the weekend? The hero's up six and a half to one and a half after day one.

I believe, I want to believe in a USA comeback so I'm going to say touchdowns and catches. This is good. Who's writing this stuff down so we can check our work Monday? Okay, what else you got over there? All right, Deshaun Watchen. I owe Mahaju.

Well done. Deshaun Watchen hasn't practiced much this week. He did tell reporters that he plans to play so I'm not worried about that. Browns, Ravens, huge game. Who's more likely to win the AFC North? Ravens or Browns? Right now, I would go Cleveland Browns. That's what I would go right now. Cleveland Browns. Entering week four. I agree with you.

That's where I would land on it. The thing that just leaps out at me was earlier this week, who did we have on these days all meshed together pointed out that without Chubb in there, they're now going to go more shotgun for Watchen and he's more comfortable playing football that way. And that's something to take a look at for Cleveland. Is it Chris Long who said that? Somebody said that. I mean, he's coming off his best game. As a Brown.

I thought to myself, that is a remarkable wrinkle and analysis that I did not think of. So I think I would take the Browns right now. And as you know, on the Overreaction Monday podcast that you and I conduct, we ended it with our predictions of what we'll be overreacting to on Monday and I said the Ravens are in deep trouble. I have a feeling the Browns win this, the Ravens fall to two and two and everyone's going to be thinking the sky is falling in Baltimore, despite by the way, the O's winning a hundred games and making the playoffs in that respect.

So what else, Chris, what do you all see out over there? All right, big game, big NFC Eagles and 49ers. They have big spreads at home. NFC Super Bowl contender, most likely to get upset at home.

Eagles against Washington, 49ers against Cardinals. Stop it. Cardinals just are playing great. I understand. And there's fireworks all around as well. We're pew pewing. I know, I get it. That's the new sound that we've decided we'll play in every stadium when the play clock falls.

In the lab. Shoom, shoom, shoom, shoom, shoom. Whenever there's triple zeroes, that's the noise that's playing. Everyone will be like, oh, play's over.

Yeah, get out of here with that noise. Washington beat Philadelphia in Philadelphia last year. They do this. Washington just got beat 37-30.

I get it, but they are professional hanger of first losses on people, so. And didn't Bienvenides say it's his job to clean up the poop? Would he actually use the S word? Say something like that?

I don't think he's ever said poop. What else? All right, one and two team, these guys are playing each other this week. One and two team, you're least concerned about, Bengals or Titans? Oh, Bengals, I'm least concerned about that because I'm concerned about the Titans. You're not worried about the Bengals? You know, 50%, 60% of Joe Burrow won a home game on a Monday night, so.

But I just need, I don't know. I'm concerned. The Titans have Burrow here. And then after that, Tennessee is, I'm gonna see them in two weeks, I'm calling their game.

They're at Indianapolis. I mean, that's not an easy road, but they could come up with a road win and then get a nice head of steam going into London to take on the Ravens in Tottenham. So, if I had to choose though right now, I would choose the Titans. The Bengals receiving core and their defense and whatever, they're still the back to back to back defending champs of this division.

That was a big win for them with 50 to 60% of Burrow. Who's more likely to get in the end zone against their previous team? Ezekiel Elliott or Adam Thielen?

Vikings, Panthers, Patriots, Cowboys. I'll go Zeke. You know Bill's gonna get him that ball, right?

Five yard line. He had a great game last week. Know what you think? Apparently there's gonna be a video board tribute to him. Nice. As there should be.

Yes, for all those playoff games he won, right? Oh man. Oh, okay. What a shot.

That's so unnecessary. Man. As I said yesterday in the fantasy preview though.

Just beat me, beat me, all that stuff. Adam Thielen might be him going against his former team. I get it, but I mean, you know who might not be him as the quarterback yet? Yeah, Bryce is not expected back. Is he expected back? Yeah, he's been practicing all week.

Let's see. If Dalton was starting, I would go, but you know Bill's gonna use this for Zeke. All right, more likely to get in the end zone in London. Kyle Pitts or Calvin Ridley? Oh, it's London, right?

Ridley against his former team. I got it, but it's London, right? London. Oh, this is Kyle Pitts. This is like Jerry Lewis in Paris back in the day. Jerry Lewis in France. This is Kyle Pitts' territory.

He's not on domestic turf. How about this? Two touchdowns for Pitts. Oh! Stop. Multiple. Wow. Multiple. All right, last one.

What's more likely? Don't you know it's his country? This is his zone?

I get it, I get it. Man's got three total touchdowns his career. And how many of them are in London? Maybe all of them. All right, we're trying to beat the clock. What's more likely to happen first, the Chiefs lose? Not this weekend.

Or we find out Kelsey and Taylor Swift are just friends. Stop it. Stop it. Get out of here.

I'll go Chiefs lose. You know why? Because I believe in love. That's what I believe in.

I believe in love. Did you see that the ticket sales on Wednesday when it came out that she's gonna go to the game on Sunday night? That's the way Jets are selling tickets right now.

Hey, she sold out, met life already this summer. Did Fireman Ed give him a cease? Only difference is Rogers was there. When we were all hoping that Rogers would be in this game. Don't get me started.

Where is A.A. Ron right now? And don't you dare say this about them. They're in love. You back off. That's what's much more likely. I'm not here for your hate. Again. And not believing in love. Get out of here.

It has nothing to do with believing. Well, it's certainly gonna happen this weekend. Hopefully she'll be there. NBC's hoping.

How about that? The Jets are selling tickets based off of that. Well, they're not telling everyone, hey, buy our tickets because Taylor Swift's coming. But apparently all the Swifties are coming just to get a look. They have no idea where she's gonna be. They'll still buy tickets. This is according to Bloomberg.

Reputable source on this sort of stuff. Nutty. Rogers saw her twice. Rogers might be there this weekend. I heard that story too. That would be great.

He shows up and he's gonna counter the Swift reaction. He needs it cleared to fly. That's been the holdup. Is that what it is? Yeah. Fantastic. Get that leg up.

Let's go. Rogers will counter the Swift effect with his presence. I mean, he's one of them. I know. He's not counteracting.

He's contributing. He's a Swiftie. He's a Swiftie. Guess what though? All's fair and loving football, pal. I don't know what that means.

He's gonna be there. I don't know what that means either. Get out. I'm just so out of my mind.

I'm not normal these days, okay? But one thing I do know, 100%, is I believe in love. And you, you're hard-hearted. Hard-hearted. You think it's all about dollars and cents, not about love. Literally has a movie out in two weeks. Yeah, like she needs help selling tickets. Get out of here. A little bit more. Greed is good. It's Patrick Peterson coming up. Amy Trask, wherever you listen.
