Alexa, play the Rich Eisen Show.
Here's a station you might like. Do you think that Tua should be a 50 million dollar quarterback? Live from the Rich Eisen Show studio in Los Angeles.
Tua Tungo Bailoa is definitely going to have a salary that starts with a four, but this is the interesting conversation to have. Earlier on the show, NFL VP of Broadcast Planning, Mike North, CBS Sports Lead Broadcaster, Jim Nance. Coming up, voice of ESPN's Monday Night Football, Joe Puff. And now, it's Rich Eisen. Our number three of the Rich Eisen Show is on the air. Great chat with Jim Nance. Last hour, Mike North, who put these schedules together for the National Football League. And now our number one. If you missed it, we re-air on the Roku channel as soon as this is over.
That is coming up in one hour from now on Channel 210, right here on the Roku channel, Sirius XM, Odyssey, and more. We've got Suzy Schuster sitting in for Chris Brockman today, because he's too busy being a sports host on a golf course at a charity event. Good to see you over there, Suze. Good to be seen. That's Mike Del Tufo, the audio executive who just hit the wrong button while I was talking.
I was testing with Joe. I'm sorry. No, it's all good. No, listen, listen. I am sorry. You just raise your hand and just take... I am sorry. Take the hit.
I take the hit. Good to see you over there, TJ Jefferson. How are you, sir? The brother in the corner. What's up, bro?
Oh my goodness gracious. Enjoyed chatting with him last night on the NFL Network schedule release program. He is calling Monday Night Football once again, and he is back here on the Rich Eisen Show. Good to see you, Joe Buck. How are you, Joseph? Good to see you. I feel okay. I'm looking at my color. It's not very good.
It looks splotchy and like I'm about to die, but I feel fine. It's all good. Well, it's all good. But the best thing is when you move your head like you did, you reveal all those Emmy awards back there, Joe. Look at that. Look at those ladies. Wow.
Oh, wait. No, I would have to really rearrange to show the local ones. The small ones are over here to the left. Flexing. I love the flexing. Good to see you.
Good to see you. The day after now you got the schedules. What's your two cents on it, Joe? On what? On the schedule. It's amazing. Just like I said last night, it's awesome. I love it. I think it's unbelievable. I think we have the best schedule and I think we're the best. And I think ESPN is the best. And I think Monday Night Football is awesome. That was very Chris Farley right there.
That was a very Chris Farley like answer right there. That was awesome. That's awesome. We were going to be so good this year. Yeah, we do have a good schedule.
I'm excited. I like the way it starts. I like the way it ends. There it is. Take it all in.
If you can figure that out, there's not one person that can read any of that, including the guy doing it. Suze, take it away. What did I say? Hi, Joe.
What did I say? I mean, this schedule gives me seizures. It's so hard to look at.
I feel like I'm trying to land planes. Yeah, it's good. I mean, we've got Dallas at home twice, which I love, which Troy will love. We've got Kansas City at home twice. We've got the Lions both at home and on the road. We've got Jason Kelsey now an ESPNer is going back home week two to take on Kirk Cousins.
I think we've got them twice on there, and we didn't do them once. So that shows you what the presence of one Kirk Cousins does for a franchise on a prime time game. And you got the Harbaugh too.
That's a nice piece of real estate there. You got that going on. We're the only ones who can say that. Yeah, I mean, this is what we're doing.
We're doing the schedule here. It's amazing. I love it. It's unbelievable. That's a new phrase. Instead of, are you ready for some football? We're the only ones who can say that.
We're the only ones. It's John and Jim. Jim and John. Who's going to win? Last time, Super Bowl. This time, Thanksgiving. Happy Thanksgiving. Go eat some turkey in a turducken.
Yeah, so you got Aikman is going to be, he'll be having a good time. That's pretty cool. Yeah. Joe, you're a little punchy today. You're a little punchy. This is Joe.
Joe, what do you want? You want the, yeah, they keep me up. They get me up in the morning. They keep me up at night. They test every, everybody keeps saying, you know, oh, six-year-old twins. They'll keep you young.
No, they won't. They're going to be the end of me. I look at the pictures of me prior to these boys being born and thank God, I, they're the greatest things in my life other than my two daughters. But I mean, I looked so much younger and six years later, I mean, I know it's six years later, but I just don't, I've aged like a dog. Yeah. Come on, Susie. Susie, let me ask you this, how unbearable was Rich after the mention on SNL?
Oh boy. I mean, it was, it was, um, it was a lot. Don't feed.
Don't feed. It was a lot. No, no.
There might be, there might've been like a five minute, um, love fest between him and Del Tufo over drops this morning. Oh my God. Oh my God. Oh my God. Jerry's, oh my God. No, Joe, you're not the only one with young kids.
Uh, because I'm also father of the year. Um, I was watching Kung Fu Panda with my 10 year old trying to, trying to stay present, trying to stay present. My phone was buzzing like crazy and that's when I had to actually pause Jack Black's tome to check out what was going on. This has come from Panda four, the new one. No, no, no.
We actually, she had not seen the original. Yeah. Did you just refer to Jack Black's tome? Did we call Kung Fu Panda a tome? It sure is.
I'm going to agree with that. Well, it came out in book form as a tome book. This is from the original scripture Kung Fu Panda one. Yeah. That's what it was.
The original scripture. Yeah. Yeah. Well, I thought they were really, they were very true to the story. So yeah, so I took it in stride, but it was pretty cool. It was pretty cool. I mean, I'm, I'm just jealous.
I would have been, I would have been doing cartwheels and I would have been unbearable. Which I did. I find them accessible. Okay. There you go.
Yeah, there it is. Yeah. I'm accessible. That's accessible. Yeah.
What is that like a new word? People call you accessible all the time, don't they? Sure.
Yeah. Yeah, I, uh, I try to make myself accessible to most, uh, to most passers by. I just, I wear a sandwich board out on Manchester road in St. Louis. Hi, I'm Joe Buck. Accessible. Please come talk to me.
If you have something to promote, I'm here for you. No, but you were, you were accessible here. You and I were going back and forth on times for this show, Joe. And many people, when I say, Hey, can you do it?
And they would just say, no, I can't. But you were offering other opportunities for me. You were like, I like to, uh, I like to make people happy. That's what I like to do. I like to make my friends like rich eyes in like Susie, who I didn't even know. This is like, uh, uh, uh, just as icing on top of the cake that she's there. Yep. I, I, I like to try to find a time to make this fit in. And I appreciate you doing that.
This is great. Do you, do you know, you don't even want to talk about the schedule. Call Michelle. Michelle is not here.
Michelle is not here. She would. Yeah. She's meatloaf.
That was a very nice loaf. Like scream right there. Yeah. Yeah.
That'll be the day when anybody's making me meatloaf. Um, yeah, no, I, we can talk about the schedule for sure. Go through game by game.
I'll give you a bullet on each game. Joe. Oh God. Um, this is for real though.
This is for real. You calling a baseball game with chip carry that's happening. I am.
Yeah. Next Friday, Cardinals and Cubs on, uh, on the Bally's Midwest for the Cardinals. So I'm going back to my roots, rich, um, and, and, and company. I'm doing a local Cardinal game where I can openly root for the team that everybody, when they were in the post-season thought I was openly rooting for when I wasn't.
So you get to openly root for a team and be guilty as charged for a change. Joe. Absolutely. Wow.
I'll tell you what chip. We need a double play right here. You're practicing your rooting lines. I like it. Uh huh. Okay.
Yeah. Actually the, the, the writer I spoke with is like, so you're going to go back and, and do it like you used to do it. And, and I don't know that I can. Honestly, I don't know that, that I can re imagine myself as the local guy, but I'm going to try.
I'm not going to be ridiculous about it, but I, you know, it's funny. And I talked to the Cardinals director, his name's Tommy. He's been there since I started.
He's still there. Um, and he said, you know, it's different because Fox would pick him up, uh, periodically and he would do a national game. And he's like, when you, when you direct a national game, you do it entirely differently than you would for the Cardinals. Because when you're doing a national game, you know, you're showing both bullpens and you're showing both managers and you're showing, not that that doesn't happen, but the Cardinal fans don't care about, they're playing the Cubs. They don't care about Craig council as much as they care about their own guy.
They don't care about the Cubs bullpen, just who's coming in. And it's just an entirely different way of thinking about presenting a game. So it's, it's going to take a little while for me to fall back into bad.
Cause I think I'll just default to being the national guy, dude, though. I mean, a buck and a carry calling, uh, Cubs Cardinals game together. That's pretty, that'll be cool.
That is kind of, that was, that was the thinking. And then the aforementioned twins, they're going to come down with me and be on the field before the game. And they really haven't been of age where they know what I'm doing when I'm doing a baseball game. So I think the last game I did with them anywhere near me was in the 2021 all-star game in Denver.
And, uh, they were what three. So yeah, it's, I think it's time. It'll be cool to show them what that's all about. That is pretty cool. Do you, do you have a recollection of Harry Carey? Joe was being a kid. Oh my God.
Yeah. So yeah, it's, it's funny because my dad started with him in the fifties and my dad was obviously an out of nowhere guy, grew up, born in Massachusetts, grew up more in Cleveland. And so he shows up and Harry and he, I'm not going to say they didn't get along, but Harry was hard on him. And my dad was the young guy and I, you know, anytime there was something big happening in the eighth or ninth inning, my dad would get a tap on the shoulder and he'd get up and Harry would sit down because he was the lead guy.
Then Harry, and there he is, uh, gets let go, I think in 1969. And, uh, then my dad became the number one guy and his career really kind of took off. And then it was cool to see my dad and Harry later in each of their lives reconnect and become really good friends and have a lot of laughs.
And I think for, uh, you know, uh, a relationship that started with a lot of tension, they got to a point where, you know, they, they could laugh and have fun. And, uh, I remember one time, my mom telling me that my mom and dad, Harry and his wife, Dutch, he went to dinner after a Cardinal game in St. Louis. And when they walked in the place called Tony's still in St. Louis, it's moved locations. But when they walked in the whole place got up and gave him a standing ovation, which I think is really cool.
That is really cool. So he didn't like turn to you and say, get me a bloody Mary when you were like eight or anything like that. That never happened.
No, I couldn't make it. I'm 55 and I could not make a bloody Mary right now. Never may. I've never had a bloody Mary and I drink, Oh boy, do I drink, but I've never had a bloody Mary. It just looks and smells disgust.
You and I are the same. I cannot take tomato juice, sir. I cannot take the smell and I'll get it. And any plane I'm on someone will invariably order a V8 right next to me. And I'm like, really? Like that happens every time in the morning and like, Oh, it's so good for hangovers. Yeah. I mean, it's going to make me throw up.
I mean, that's probably good. You are so missing out. It is a meal and a glass.
It's fantastic. I will make you one and then you will throw up. Yes, exactly. Well, yeah, no, no, no woman living in Los Angeles, celery and olives.
That's like food for a day. If your buddy Al Michaels eats a salad, I'll, I'll drink a bloody Mary. So this will never happen as you know. Okay.
Now I want to, what a way to throw down the gauntlet. Yeah. I will not have a bloody Mary before anything green on this place.
Certainly not in the drink. Is that parsley? I know that. Yeah. Oh my God. Yeah. Well, I look forward to that game.
So that's a, so we'll have to get that on the, uh, the MLB app to watch that. I guess, I don't know how that works. I think so. I'm sure it's, it's valleys.
Do they pick up valleys? Yeah, yeah, yeah, sure. Absolutely.
No doubt about it. Well, I look forward to that. And, uh, again, I looked for, I dropped a speed bridge on you last night. I think I kind of staggered you with that punch in our conversation last night.
That was good. Yeah. Speed bridge the Achilles. Yeah. Cause you're on the, you're on the Achilles tour. You got a Rogers first game on Monday night football.
I mean, that's kind of cruel and unusual for the NFL to say, okay, we'll see you back out there with Leonard Floyd, with Leonard Floyd, with Leonard Floyd, your little jets fan friends. Yeah. I know. I've been hearing about that.
Yo, it's such a hard game. And he's on Monday night. Oh no, they got to play him when they play him. I'm not that guy that I'm not that guy. But I mean, evolved, I mean, Leonard Floyd really Monday night, first one out.
And then they got to, then they got to play Buffalo too on him on you got the jets twice. That's pretty cool. Yeah.
All right. And then Kelsey, that's a good point. I did not notice that until you mentioned that Kelsey back in Philly week two is going to be great. That'll be fun. Yeah.
Let's see what else you got. I joked on another network named ESPN that I know that we will walk into Philly with Jason Kelsey as a part of our crew. Will we walk out of Philly with Jason Kelsey as a part of our crew? I don't know.
What do you mean something could happen? I think the guy could walk off the set, put his number 62 on his chest and be a pro bowl player, like without any kind of conditioning whatsoever. I love that guy.
You're so lucky that, that he, he landed there big time. It's a huge, huge get for, for ESPN, for our, for our pregame. And I think it's awesome.
Yeah. And Belichick will be, is he, is Belichick, are you a competitor with Bill Belichick, Joe? I mean, he's going to be on the Manning cast. Joe, what do you, what do you got there?
I mean, yeah, one of the, one of the great roasters of all time. Yeah, I know we're not competitors because they, they lump it all together. So if, if, because Belichick is on the Manning cast and the Manning cast does an eight rating and we do a four doing the actual game, then we at ESPN did a 12.
So it doesn't really matter. Yeah, that's right. And you could just counter-program him with Nikki Glaser.
You know what I'm saying? That'd be good. Right. That would be good. Maybe we'll get, yeah, we'll, we'll get Nikki on in the first quarter.
He can do the first quarter with Peyton and Eli and, you know, see who's like, we'll get Jeff Ross in the second quarter. Yeah. I like it. Yeah. It's all good. Yeah. All right, man. It's all good. Thanks for doing this. I appreciate it. You look great.
When do we start? This is repping my Wonka. What is that?
What are you doing? That's kind of dad or you. I know what it is, but it's just. They didn't want to go see that. They had zero interest in Wonka, I have to say.
Well, I think you're missing out. And, and look, the, the original is my number one all time. Gene Wilder is my number one all time. That's the greatest, but we love Gene Wilder.
When you're saying, you're saying number one, like you're, when somebody asks Joe Buck, your favorite movie, you say Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. That's it? Charlie. Yeah. Yeah. Absolutely blazing saddles. I mean, all that stuff's amazing. Anything that Gene Wilder is in, I'm in.
Okay. I think he's phenomenal. And I had a chance to meet him. Thanks to Brad Faxon. When I was doing golf at Fox and we were all set to go to his house and he passed away that week. Get out of here.
Yeah. And I, I would have not been able to speak, but you can, I let's have dinner with Michael Jordan. Let's have dinner with Al Pacino.
Let's have, I fine sitting in a kitchen with Gene Wilder. I would have been speechless. No kidding. I would never guess that.
That's fantastic. Who's the coolest person you've ever, who's the coolest person you've ever met? Other than us. Well, other than two of you.
Seriously? The coolest person. I think the coolest person, the most gen genuine good person who's also a superstar is Eddie Vedder. I think he's, he's one of the nicest, most thoughtful people for somebody that before you meet him, you would think, Oh, well, that's not that guy. And then you meet him and he go, Oh, well, that's not real.
And then you see it time and time again with how he treats people. And you know, the, the driver in the car, the guy driving Uber, whatever he, he is awesome. Wow. That's pretty cool. I've never met him.
So really? Yeah, no, but he's the most legit sports fan. I feel like sometimes it's forced with, with people in other arms of the entertainment world and him with the first night I met him in St. Louis, I go to his dressing room after got set up by other people and he's got a trunk open in his dressing room with three different baseball gloves, baseballs, a helmet, a bat.
And when they do sound checks and arenas, they throw the baseball around and he's got a personal collection that rivals Cooperstown in the warehouse where they record. He's he's amazing. Buddy. Thanks for doing this greatly.
Appreciate it. We got to go. We got to go. We got to break the hit. We got to break the hit.
I don't know. It's just, you know, I don't want to take you away from too much of what you're doing. So, you know, but that said, I do look forward to hearing you in a baseball booth again. I look forward to that in a couple of weeks. I'm excited to do it.
I mean, all kidding aside, I think it'll be fun. Excellent. Thanks for the time, Joe.
Best to Michelle. Enjoy those kids. Get some sleep.
Get some rest. Good to see you. All right. I miss all of you people. All right. See you guys. There you go.
That's Joe Buck, everybody, getting set to call a baseball game, not just any baseball game, Cubs cards with Chip Carey. That's cool. That would be, what would that be like?
Me going back to Staten Island to teach a French class with, I don't know, somebody? I mean, I guess so. I think it's more like... Holler at your boy. I think it's more like you're doing like a 2 a.m., don't you think? It's a little bit like doing that. Oh, I'm just talking about, I'm talking about the dad thing.
But, oh, going back and doing a sports center? Oh, you know how I feel about that. I know. Speaking of Eddie Vedder, what Joe was just saying, the piggyback on that, Pearl Jam, the original name of their band was Mookie Blaylock. Yeah.
Are you serious? Yeah. And then so I think Mookie found out, he made them change their name, and then I know they went to their albums. I think the first album is 10 and because his number was 10.
So yeah, Pearl Jam is the big Sonics, Super Sonics fans. Yeah. Speaking of Mookie Blaylock and numbers, do you know whose number is retired next to his in the rafters in Oklahoma?
In Oklahoma? Wayman Tisdale? That's one. Brian Bosworth?
No, in the rafters. Kyler Murray? Stacey Dales. I knew that. Oh, yeah.
I was thinking all Oklahoma- But Wayman Tisdale was another. Yeah. Yeah. Stacey, oh, yeah.
Stacey Dales was a baller, as they say. Oh, quite. And still, let's take a break here on The Rich Eisen Show. We're back with your phone calls. Let's take a look at the Jets and Cowboys schedules as well, and a special guest doing win-loss on the Patriots still to come. It's that time of year, people.

They announced each team on their schedule with a dad joke from a player trying to make James Deebo Harrison laugh.
It is brilliant. Hit it. So why did the pony ask for a glass of water, Deebo? Because it was a little horse.
Why so serious? What do you call a jet that flies backwards? You might get this one.
A receding airline. Why would I get that? Explain the joke to me.
The hair, the hair thing. We'll just go to the next one. No, no, no.
We're not done. What do you call a horse that lives next door? A neighbor. Can y'all give me some better questions?
This man is scaring the hell out of me. What do you call a sick eagle? Philadelphia eagle. Ill eagle, like illegal. Bruh, he's not laughing. Because the receding hairline is like, or airline.
But you're saying I would get it because. Well, just, I feel like, you know, a lot of people with hair disabilities. Why couldn't anyone see the fountain? I don't know, maybe it was flying too high. Yeah, it was in disguise. Disguise. So what you call two birds that stick together?
Vail crows. That's fantastic. You've got to see the full video.
That was frightening. What an idea. To sit across from him, like even though you know it's fun. No, explain the joke to me. Now, why would you think I would know that? No thanks. No, thank you. I don't think, by the way, that's real.
Yeah. I've sat across from this man. I wouldn't tell him a dad joke.
I wouldn't even look at him. Oh my God. Seriously, everybody's got to watch the whole thing through. It was really good. What an idea.
And finally, the joke that got him at the end, it was like, okay. Yeah, watch that video. Back on the Rich Eisen Show radio network, 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. Let's go back to the phone lines. The win-loss game. We've got some regulars on the program. All rise. Terzo in Iowa here on the Rich Eisen Show. How are you, Terzo? I'm doing well, Rich.
Hi, Susie. It's always an awesome pleasure to have you on the set. You brighten up. I think that set that's even as great as it is, you bring a little bit of extra light to it.
I love it when you're in the studio. Thank you so much, Terzo. Thank you. Don't influence the jury, counselor. Don't do that. I am not doing such.
I am literally at this point in time. You've jumped over me for a Packers fan. No, no, no. And a Sea Chicken fan.
Terzo, it's got nothing to do with jumping over you. It's also just balancing out the show. If we're talking about the Niners so much, I figured let's do it later on. And I appreciate you sticking on and hit the music for him. If you don't mind. Here we go.
Rich, anything for you guys. But I can see these Niners either going 10 and seven. No, no, no. Hold on a second. No, no.
That's not the way the game's played. You know that, Terzo. I know. I know. And don't worry.
This is nothing personal with the way you're going to answer the first one. Monday night against the Jets at home. We lose to the Jets. Come on. Really? Okay.
Yeah. At the Vikings. We win against the Vikings. At the Rams.
We lose finally in SoFi. One and two against the Patriots at home. Win. Cardinals at home. Win. At the Seahawks on a Thursday night. We lose to the Seahawks. Wow. If you're three and three, this is going to be a heck of a game against the Chiefs coming at home.
What do you got? We win that game as just kind of, I think, a little bit come back from the past two Super Bowls home from the Cowboys home for the Cowboys. Oh, we still eat that lunch.
TJ, he eats the lunch. Next. What's a bye week next? Five and three now at the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Win that one. Six and three home for the Seahawks.
Win that one. Seven and three at the Packers. We win that one. Eight and three at the Bills.
We lose that one. Eight and four home for the Bears. Win that one. Nine and four home for the Rams. Win that one. Ten and four at the Dolphins. Lose that one. Ten and five home for the Lions on a Monday night. Win that one. And 11 and five at the Cardinals. We have to win that one to win the division. 12 and five, Terzo and Iowa. Now, Rich, I got one more thing for you.
Yeah. Now, if we go if we go 12 and five and Purdy gets us to the NFC Championship again, how much is his bag worth? Oh, we talked yesterday about how much two is. How much is Purdy worth if he does that? It'll be it'll be the highest in the league. In the league, he'll be the he'll he'll wind up being the most salaried employee in the history of the San Francisco 49ers. And which might actually say that it starts with that big number that I don't know if it's a six. I don't know.
It depends on how the rest of the market goes between now and then, but it'll be the best and it'll be the highest in the league. That'll happen. I'd have to think so. Thanks for the call, Terzo. That's Terzo and Iowa. Let's go back to the phone lines here. Who's been holding the longest? Oh, Matt in Oklahoma. Let's go. Matt in Oklahoma.
This one's for Western New York from the heartland of our country. What's up, Matt? How you been, sir? Nothing. Hey, hey. Harrison Buckley would be disappointed in me because I've spent most of the last two hours in the kitchen plus doing laundry. Tell me.
Three balls. Now I'm prepping supper with my kids. So he's a ding dong. What a terrible influence you are on those children.
A dad helping out. I'm basically, I'm a, I'm a stay-at-home housewife and I don't have any qualms about it. I don't know. This guy's a ding dong. Matt in Oklahoma. Fresh off of calling Harris and Bucker a ding dong.
Hit the music. Home for the Arizona Cardinals week one. That's a win. At the Dolphins on a Thursday night. That's a win. Home for the Jaguars on a Monday night. Win. At the Ravens. That's a loss.
At the Texans. That's a win. So you're going to take down Stefan Diggs.
Okay. Yeah, I ain't worried about it. Four, one at the Jets. I think we're going to lose that one. Unfortunately, something weird is going to happen. Everybody's thinking the Jets are beating them. What the hell is happening?
I'm beginning to feel dizzy. Four and two home for the Titans. Win. Five and two at the Seahawks.
Um, lost. Five and three home for the Dolphins. Win.
You sweep them. Six and three at the Colts. Win. Seven and three home for the Chiefs. That's a win. We always win the regular season. Ding dong.
All right. Coming off of the bye at eight and three. Home for the Niners.
That one makes me nervous, but it's in Buffalo, so we got to win that one. Win. Nine and three at the Rams. Um, win. Ten and three at the Lions.
That's a loss. Ten and four home for the Patriots. Patriots. Home for the Patriots. That's a win.
Okay. Ten and five home for the Jets. We'll take care of it. Rogers will be hurt by then, so we'll take care of that one. Eleven and five at the Patriots. Um, that'll be a loss only because the division wrapped up and we'll be playing the backups and we'll have pity on them, so that'll be a loss.
I don't know, man. You might need that win to take care of. Nah, it'll be okay. But you need the conference. All of us are going to fall apart.
You need the conference. And we're going to win the season. The Jets will do what the Jets do the last half of the season. All right. Thank you, Matt, in Oklahoma. Eleven and six. I don't know. I don't think the the Bills are going to be in a position to let any pedal off the gas at the end of the season with the Ravens doing what they did last year and the Chiefs doing what they always do.
I don't know. And there's going to be somebody else in the mix. It seems like it's people think it's the Jets. So, uh, this jumped out at me when I saw the schedule released. There are two teams in the National Football League that have seven standalone games.
Now, what do I mean by standalone? It's not just primetime folks anymore. That's why, Suze, these schedules are so they look like as what did you say? It's like landing planes or something like that. Air traffic control. Air traffic control. And they're all color coded. And they're all the same.
Air traffic control, air traffic control, and they're all color coded and they're all different colors for different types of games and windows. It's because it's not just Sunday night or Monday night or Thursday night anymore. There are standalone games that happen on Fridays. You got a standalone game in week one in Brazil. You got a standalone game on a Friday after Thanksgiving. You got standalone games on a Wednesday on Christmas. You got standalone games on a Sunday morning with international series games.
There's standalone games all over the map. In terms of adding the primetime games to standalone games, there are two teams that have seven exclusive window standalone games. They are your defending champion Kansas City Chiefs and the New York Jets.
The New York Jets. And I'll tell you what, there is a surgically repaired tendon in the leg of somebody who's hopefully stimming and icing and rehabbing and keeping that thing elevated while he's talking to Tucker Carlson because that speed bridge repair job is what holds seven standalone games intact. Because I'll tell you what, the league didn't put the Jets on Monday night in week one and Thursday night in week three and Monday night in week six and Sunday night in week seven and Thursday night in week nine and Sunday night in week 11 and in Tottenham Hotspur Stadium week five, another standalone game against Minnesota in London.
They didn't do that to see Terod Taylor work in his craft. Probably not. How are you feeling right now? Thinking about the Jets schedule like I don't even think I want to be with you when they take the field for the first time. I don't know that you can handle it. You're a pacer.
I'm a pacer and I pace when I talk on the phone. But when it comes to a sports team that emotionally affects me, I'm a drinker. Right. And so, you know, I'll open up a nice, you know, Napa Valley red on that Monday night, clearly after I'm done with my work on Westwood One Radio. I don't think you're going to go red wine. I think you're going to go vodka.
You're going to be so stressed out. I can't be hung over for Tuesday's Rich Eisen show. So but in all seriousness, the stretch for the Jets, I mean, they start with two on the road and everybody's thinking, all right, at least they've got the Tennessee Titans in week two backing up that Monday night loss coming in San Francisco. Although we just had two call callers say the Jets are beating their team. One at San Francisco, a Niner fan thinks that's a loss for the Niners. And we just had a Bills fan call and say the Jets are going to beat the Bills on a Monday night in New Jersey. Fine.
Okay. But that Tennessee game, that's the one that the Jets have to win. And those are the ones that they frequently lose. And starting with two on the road and then the Jets, here's this stretch.
Here's this stretch. They have primetime games. One, all those primetime games that they have, the standalone games, are through the first 11 weeks of the season. And that Tennessee game that I'm talking about, it's a short week. They got a short week there. They play two Thursday nighters, two. So they're playing at New England on one week and then they're home. And then they're playing at Tennessee and then they're home for New England. These are short week games. They got to go to Pittsburgh on a short week.
So, you know, these are all difficult games and you've got to figure, again, we know the games are going to be played. They don't play Miami until the back half of the season. They got the Rams in week 16.
They got to go to Buffalo in week 17. I don't know what Green, maybe Greenie was having some of the Cabernet or vodka that we were seeing when he went on on on get up. I saw that. So many friends are like, look what your friend got. On on get up, I saw that so many friends are like, look what your friend Greenie's saying about the Jets.
I don't know, man. That's a tough schedule right there. You think? That's a really tough schedule for the Jets. So.
And in prime time, a lot, a lot of those. So just light a candle for for the speed bridge surgery. Here, Coach, can I ask you a question? Let's say the Jets go 2-0. Are you going to break out the Opus one?
A couple of steps to that. I will. If the Jets go 2-0 to start the season, I will show up on that Monday show with a bottle of Opus one in between my legs like I'm LeBron James. In white pants. I don't own white pants, as Suzy will attest. I don't own white pants.
And you won't. I will show up. Actually, I will show up dressed like this. The entire outfit. Remember with a hat and those shoes.
I don't even I don't own the shoes like that. I if the Jets start 2-0. I will have a bottle of Opus one right here. Remember, are you saying that Rossman would he would when Cam was the quarterback of the Pats, he'd wear an outfit and then would replicate that outfit. So you're saying that's what you're going to do.
If the Jets start 2-0, you're going to you're going to rock this out. Correct pants, jean jacket with a bottle of Opus one. Like in the way that Shaq said he was going to come here in chaps or you're going to really know it wasn't chaps, it was as a Dallas Cowboy cheerleader. Same thing.
And he never did it. OK, but you're really going to show up in skin tight white jeans. You know, I've dropped weight. Yeah, you have. Yeah.
I will come dressed like LeBron James with that hat. Yes, TJ. He just said that, you know, I just wait.
Stop. Yeah, you guys are big. I look, I am kind of calling that shot right now on May 16th to be honest with you, like that. We actually have 109 days to get one. There's one hundred and twenty something days between now and then. And by the way, by the way, and it's also there's also six days in between that Monday night game and the day I'd have to show up dressed like that. So I won't even have to go shopping until that Tuesday morning. Don't you want to be prepared?
No. You beat San Francisco that first day. I run the 40 yard dash. You beat San Francisco that first game. All right, let's take a break. Let's take a break because there's a special guest about to zoom in to play the win loss game for the New England Patriots.

Before our radio audience returns, this is one of the many Rams social media videos announcing their schedule. JB Long, the voice, the radio voice of the Rams, testing the famed knowledge and brain of Sean McVeigh's. All right, the Rams 2024 schedule just dropped in Sean McVeigh.
We're going to test your trivia knowledge with some questions about each opponent on the slate. Are you ready? I'm ready. 2021 week seven, Lions are at SoFi, first and goal at the five early fourth quarter. Give us your play call. Yeah, it was a great touchdown pass from Matthew to Cooper Cup.
That was lab to South right close fire to fly X crossers. Got him in a man coverage right there. Cooper just outflanked him. Good throwing catch. Which team did Aaron Donald get his 100th career sack against? It was a heck of a play full way out on Kyler Murray against the Cardinals and a picture of it.
I still got to get him to sign that one in the 2021 NFC Championship. Cooper Cup had an extremely rare emotive reaction to his catch. What play call led to that grab? Good old fashioned choice for him.
It was F modus out left clamp minus three jet F choice stucco man pressure. What a throwing catch. I mean, fitted in in a tight window with Kwan Williams right there and then the run after the catch.
He looked like Wolverine celebrating after that thing. The Bears last Super Bowl appearance was after the 2006 season. Who performed at halftime that year? Had to be Prince. Can you name the top three Green Bay Packers career receiving leaders? Donald Driver is up there.
James Lofton and Sterling Sharp got to be the top three. Alright, so far so good. You're undefeated at the bye. Thursday Night Football against the Raiders 22. How much time was left on the clock when the Rams got the ball for their game winning drive?
Probably about a minute 45. 2018 week for Vikings at Rams. Following Robert Woods touchdown, he celebrated with which rapper in the stands? YG. What was the play call for Pooka's first career reception?
It was Y modus south left clamp jacks right Y cores. Nice little curl route. It's called autobiographical memory. What has it like Marilyn Henner? And I'm not joking. That's for real. Wow, that's unbelievable. That's the name of it.
Autobiographical? Yes, we just showed you. The Rams video to our radio audience of of of Sean McVay knowing play calls times on the clock of any game at any point in his eight years being head coach the Rams.
That's insane. So we've been playing the win-loss game all show long. Nobody's called in to try and guess the final record of the New England Patriots. And that's about to change here on the Rich Eisen show zooming in.
Zooming in to give us the final record of the New England Patriots. It's our youngest boy Cooper Eisen. What's up Coop? How are you? I'm good.
Thank you so much. What's up Coop? I'm doing well.
I'm excited. I gave my predictions. Okay, here we go. All right.
You got your Michigan shirt on today. So what you got? Okay, very good. Can I ask you a question real quick?
Go for it. Why is Coop so big? Because he's just. He just got it. He's like six foot T.J.
It's unbelievable. All right Coop, are you ready? Yeah, I'm good.
Okay, here we go. Give me your win or a loss. Week one at the Bengals. I think it's a loss. It's an away game. So it's going to be tough. And it really just depends on who the quarterback is going to be.
Like, Jacobi Brissett and Drake Mayer are just two different people. Okay, next up. Home for the Seahawks. I think it's the home opener. I think it's going to be a win because this is a team that can definitely beat.
Because if the defense shows up against Geno Smith, they can get a good game. So you got to win there? You're going to win? I got to win. Okay, now Coop, don't worry about me here. Okay, this is all about business. Okay, straight up. At the Jets, who wins this one? I think it's a Jets win because it's an away.
Because he's a smart kid, you know that. All right, at San Francisco. San Francisco. Oh, my God.
What do you got? I think it's another loss. Okay, home for the Dolphins. It's another loss. Two and three, home for the Texans.
I think it's another loss. Two and four at the Jaguars in London. In London, I'll give a win. Okay, three and four, home for the Jets.
I mean, it's home for the Jets. And the Pats will at least get one win against the Jets. So I'll say a win. Okay, so you have them at four and four at the Titans, Coop. I think the Titans, I think that's a win. Five and four, above 500 at the Bears. It really depends because we don't know what Caleb Williams is going to play like. Is he going to be like a Bryce Young or is he going to be like a Baker Mayfield? What do you think?
I think that the rations they've given him is very good. So I think it's going to be a loss. Okay, so they're five and five, home for the Rams. I think that's a loss. Five and six at the Dolphins. At the Dolphins, I think it's another loss.
Five and seven, home for the Colts. I think that's a win. Because Anthony Richardson, if he can stay healthy, maybe.
But I don't think he'll probably stay healthy. Okay, so you had them losing three in a row until they beat the Colts, right? Okay, coming off of the buy at Arizona. I think that's a win.
At the Bills, week 16. That's a loss. Do you like how his voice changes between a win and a loss? I know, remember when he was a baby and he'd cry whenever, the babies are going to lose. Oh Coop, we used to cry, buddy. It didn't happen a lot back then.
I'm sorry Coop, they shouldn't do you like that. I know that's true. Home for the Chargers, Jim Harbaugh, baby.
What do you got? Oh, I think it's probably a loss. Okay, and then home for the Bills. I mean, they beat the Bills last year at home. They have the fans that can definitely beat them.
And I think that Josh Allen doesn't have like the same wide receivers as he did last year. So I think it's actually going to be a win. Okay, so here we go. You've got them one, two, three, four, five wins, six wins, seven, eight and nine for the New England Patriots. That's not bad.
Cooper in Los Angeles has them go eight and nine. Not bad. Suze, what do you think? Great job Cooper.
I can't help but I'm the mom. I think you were great. Good job, buddy.
Thank you. Now go have some lunch with Ryan. Now hold on a second before he goes have lunch with Ryan. You told me about your hot take last night. You want to drop a hot take here? I think it's not really a hot take, but Matthew Judon is going to be the sacks leader in the AFC East. Okay, and I told you that's a warm take. Give me the hot take Cooper. Maybe a hot take would be like Kyle Duggar leads tackles in the whole AFC. Okay, I thought you said you said Matt Judon would lead the entire AFC in sacks. Now that would be a hot take.
Yeah, that's awesome. Now that I mean like we're talking Max Crosby, TJ Watt, right Coop? Like that would be serious hot take.
I don't care. Oh yeah. Coop, Celtics hot take? Where are we on Celtics bud? Celtics, I've actually noticed that the only game that they lost so far in the playoffs are game twos. I think that's going to continue. They're going to win 4-1 against whoever wins the Knicks, and I think it's going to be the Knicks.
Okay. And I think they're going to play the Nuggets in the finals. I think it's going to be 4-1. They all lose in game two. Oh, and you think they take the Nuggets in five Coop, huh?
I do. Now that's another hot take. All right. By the way, in case you've noticed.
I think they'll get Kristaps back by then. Okay, and then the Yanks. Since we have to finish up the whole thing right here. I got half of it. I got Michigan in the Yanks. You got Patriots and Celtics. You got to finish this thing up here.
What do you got? Maybe for the Yankees. I think that Aaron Judge might become the AL home run leader at the end of the year. Okay, very good. That's good Coop.
Cooper, love you bud. Dr. Carroll, we said thank you for letting you use his office, right? Oh, giving a shout out. Okay, very good. Normally when your kid gets sent to the Dean's office, it's not great. Seriously.
I know, but this one's good. This is a great visit to the Dean's office, Coop. Coop Tawny. Love you Coopie. We'll see you at home. Bye. There you go. Bye Coop. There he goes. I mean, come on.
I'm the mom. I mean... How great is this? And Xan is texting us that he did great on...
Which test was this for him? This was... Wasn't this history? Yeah. There you go. We're doing great. This is awesome.
30.6 out of 30. And Terzo thinks the Jets are going to beat the Niners? I don't want to be near you, and I love you. And TJ, if you want to come over and be a buffer, that's fine.
I don't want to be near him. It's fine. It's fine.
But at game one... I can be fine. I'm going to be fine. No, he's not. I'm going to be absolutely fine.
I'm going to be absolutely fine. You know what? If it's been Michigan, I think Michigan you're going to be sixth. That's a different story. That's when you're going to be sixth. That's when his emotions go.
They play Texas in week two in the big house. Now, that's a different story. That's a different story. I'm guilty as charged there. Yeah, I will attest that you're much better with the Jets than you are.
No doubt. Jets have been like an emotional... No, but it's different. Michigan's different.
Michigan's different. Who cares more about the Wolverines than anything else? You're not wrong.
You're not wrong. But I want the Jets to beat the Niners just because it would make me happy and a bunch of people I know happy. Plus, it would get me halfway home to having a bottle of Opus One opened up here dressed like LeBron James. You're going to spill on yourself.
I wouldn't have a sip of that. It's going to be a nightmare. Oh, but you should be rooting for the Jets now. Well, you know, I'm never going to win for the Niners.
So yeah, I mean, ever. It's a win-win for you. Can we have all the guys who are on hold call back tomorrow? I'm worried about that. I'm stressing. You don't like that whenever we end the show with callers.
It stresses me. If everyone can hold on, we're going to take one more in the Roku only segment. But the win-loss game will continue on tomorrow. Sue Bird will be on tomorrow's program talking about tonight's Kaitlyn Clark home debut at the Indiana Fever. That's the way I'm dressed the Monday of week three.
We're going to Photoshop your head on this. Season's of Talkville on YouTube or wherever you listen.
