Had unfold right here on GMFB over the last 100
hours or so. We were really concerned about Kyle
when he showed up to the show on Wednesday with
arm in sling to fly across country, have that
arm. It was it looked terrible. surprised us
all, including our friend of the show, WWE
superstar Seth Rollins. Um, Kyle wasn't hurt.
He took to the Spiko meter and he took a
championship home with him. Check it out. so
you go. I already ripped my pants yeah.
Oh what a number. No, no. Oh
what's he doing up there? What, give me
that. Paul, are you ready? the green
light to light. No, no, no.
No. That's one in my house. I win
, you lose. This is my house. You
know what the really great reaction would have been if
in that celebration I injured my shoulder. I almost
wish I could have committed and done that. Like
, it would have been the Black Swan. I
would have danced the perfect ballet, but thankfully his
shoulder's fine. Imagine if I blew out my shoulder
celebrating that I didn't have an injured shoulder. The
irony of it all. I kind of wish I
would have. I really do. I can't believe
you didn't think of that in advance. Well,
you guys would have believed me if I did.
I should have done that. I should have intentionally
injured, cried wolf. I know. I have
an X-ray machine next to the spike. I regret
not injuring myself. There's less screaming here today,
but that doesn't mean that people aren't going to be
screaming about certain. Teams in 2025, you have
to grab, find the cap, no, no
longer grabbing. Find the cap of the team that
you think will shock the world the way you did
yesterday with your ruse of the century 2.0 this season
. Oh great. Well, so the question is
find the cap of the team that you think will
shock the world the way you did with the Spiter
. Yeah, go ahead. I'm big on this
keep taking your hat. No, no, no
, I said damn because this is a hard question
. Yeah, so go do do Patriots. I
like I like, I like the Patriots, OK
, after the week one preseason game to see Traveon
Henderson. Their rookie crib, the opening kickoff for
a touchdown. Guys, we didn't see a lot
of Will Campbell highlights, but the guy was pancaking
people like everywhere down the field, 10 yards down
the field on a toss. He was doing so
many great things. I think that the Spillane and
Ellis, those two inside linebackers for them, they
, they embody what, um, coaches trying to
do over there. Coach Fabel is trying to do
over there for the Patriots. So I really like
this team. Watch out for them. They're in
a really tough, tough division, but I think
they'll shock the world. I mean this year in
2025. What do you got? I was sad
that I know Will Campbell, that's my guy right
there. I have aawks. No, I have
a Seahawks. Oh, Seattle Seahawks, Seattle Seahawks
. Um, Kyle, you've kind of led everybody
to the water on this one, but the Seattle
Seahawks, I feel like are the NFC's version of
us not talking about Cam Ward or something. Like
they, they have a 2nd year head coach who
was a prolific defensive coordinator with Baltimore. Like why
we're not paying more. Attention to Mike McDonald is
beyond me. They finished 10 and 7 last season
. They were right there, and they have Sam
Darnold now and anyone who wants to continue to deny
what Sam Darnold could become as a former high first
round pick with the New York Jets, I don't
care the fact that Sam Darnold has been for 16
, played for 16 different organizations. In fact,
I enjoy that about him. He has amassed an
immense amount of experience. Experience, knowledge, it's
like he's got scar tissue emotionally and physically. He's
a good quarterback and he showed us that last year
with Kevin O'Connell and the Minnesota Vikings. So this
would be a shock to the world because I'm just
not convinced that the 49ers would be that second team
in the NFC West. And if things don't go
well for Stafford, look out for the Seahawks.
Yeah, and I think the Seahawks are a media
study too. Like there's something about them that.
That doesn't have the sexiness factor. Let's call it
what it is. You're not going to turn on
ESPN and see Seahawks talk. You're not going to
turn on our show and see it very much Seahawks
talk. And if this is not the LOB and
Russell Wilson and Pete back in the day, their
most interesting player from a media perspective is now a
receiver for the Steelers, DK Metcalf. They have
Sam Darnold, who is not sexy. They have
like McDonald who's not sexy. It's just there's not
a lot of talk about them, and yet.
This is a football show. They won 10 games
a year ago with a new head coach, and
they have some really good players. They're going to
be a factor whether it resonates in media or not
, who really cares to that point. Get the
cardboard. This hat you can't miss. This is
teal. Now I've been crushing on the Panthers.
Like I've just, I've been eyeing them from across
study hall. I'm passing them a note. They
made eye contact with me. I kind of flushed
. Like I like, I like what the Panthers
have going on. The, the question is at
the bottom of the screen, define shock the world
. Are the Panthers gonna win the Super Bowl?
I don't think so. I don't think they're gonna
win the South. I don't know. I think
the Panthers are gonna win games this year. I
think the Panthers are gonna be a factor. I
like how they ended last year and I like the
coach. I like. Quarterback. I like the
additions, and I think that the NFC South,
as much as we like Tampa and everyone's like,
God, there's a factor right now with the Falcons
where everyone's freaking out about the Falcons. They have
very good vibes coming out of Falcons camp, very
good. The fantasy community loves them. It's all
bijan this. It's like, do I go back
and drop pits again, Pennx looks the part.
There's a lot of love for the Falcons, but
never mind that. I like the Panthers, not
based on vibes from training camp, based on the
last time we saw them play real games, which
was at the end of. Last season and they
looked just the part of that team that makes the
proverbial jump. Would it shock the world if the
Panthers were 8 and 9? Does that qualify?
I'm not going to split hairs on it. I'm
going to say the Panthers are going to be a
winning team this year, and that's my answer.
I like that. I'm sorry. One of those
games that you referenced was Panthers Eagles, and Bryson
hung around last year. Yeah, he should have
beat them. They had their tough at the goal
line right there like they were going to slay the
dragon. No one could beat the Eagles. They
were by far the best team in the yeah,
and they hung with the Chiefs as well.
