GMFB’s Kyle Brandt Talks 1st-Place Bears, Chief-Colts, Skattebo & More w Rich Eisen | Full Interview

This man knows, okay? He knows. He has an open invitation on this program. It’s it it he knows it. The people who booked the show knows it. Especially since they also help book Good Morning Football. They know it. And it’s just interesting to me that it it’s at this point in time he’s like, “I’m available.” when the Bears are seven and three and leading the NFC North. What timing by Kyle Brandt to say I accept I accept a Rich Eisen show appearance. Good Morning Football’s Kyle Brandt is on Rich Eisen show in the house. Did I get this right, Kyle? Did I get it right or no? I I had to make sure that they weren’t just in first place. They were all alone in first place. That was the stipulation. I don’t want to share it with Detroit or anybody else. all alone and oh and there it is. You have it ready. Look at that. It’s beautiful thing. That’s odd. That’s odd we had this ready for this conversation. Seven and three still, man, is is uh got to be beyond your expectation, right? Coming into the season. You know what it is, Rich? It makes me think of the thing that you do in August when you do predict the team’s record and you sit down, you know, with Ike Baron Holtz or me or whoever and they make it 16-0 or 17-0. If someone had predicted the record of seven and three, that’s when you and the guy start going, “Whoa, hooting it out. Seven and three. He’s drunk on the Bears.” It becomes farcical. And yet they’re seven and three. And I like it right now because I remember how I felt at five and three. Five and three with the Bears was like, “Well, they’re either the best bad team in the league or the worst good team. You take your pick.” Nice. Now it’s becoming real. Now, now it’s becoming real. And there are real brickandmortar football reasons why this Bears team is winning and it’s coaching and they run the ball and they lead the league in interceptions on defense and Caleb doesn’t turn the ball over and he has turned into like the league’s best scrambler. So it’s it’s gone from a joke to now it’s like whoa whoa whoa whoa are the Bears going to win the North like what is going on here? It’s becoming real and that’s exactly why I’m here today. Rich, I I and I appreciate that. Regardless, I’ll take you however I can get you, Kyle. Listen, um when it comes down to it, though, you know, I I did say I want to see another game like their uh their first win of the season beating the Cowboys. like that’s I want to see like showing up and that run game is dominant from the beginning and the the three and outs or five and outs or six and outs or whatever are are not the predominant way that this offense is operating. Uh, I I want to see them efficient, not settle for field goals, and I want the defense to punk people and continue to to be the takeaway monsters that they are against an opponent that um would leave me saying, “Okay, they can outlast Detroit and Green Bay.” Maybe it is against a Detroit, which is coming down the pike, or even Green Bay, who they have yet to face, or uh as our friends on Prime Video would love it, showing up in Philadelphia and doing it like that. Now, now, now you got me. Now, now the attention um is is worthy. I think seven and three is nothing to sneeze at. You are what you are. winning seven of 10 games in the NFL. Certainly after you start 0 and2 and in division no less. Very impressive. That that’s kind of what I need to see is what I was saying. I’m completely with you. The Bears were winning single A ball. They’re playing single A minor league baseball and driving around on dusty bases, dusty buses against teams that have nothing. Last week against Minnesota, they got called up to double A on the road against a good coach and good roster. This week they are playing the Steelers, maybe their old friend Aaron Roger. That’s AAA ball. And then on Black Friday, they go to Philadelphia in the same defense that just really embarrassed Jared Goff. Jared Goff who embarrassed the Bears earlier this year. So the that’s that game. If they get there and they’ve won these next couple of weeks and they get to Philadelphia, that’s the Kumate. Like that’s they’re going against the baddest group in the league. And if they show up, I mean, if that’s a close game, Rich, if the Bears lose to the Eagles 26-20, like that’s considered really, really impressive because there’s expectations for the Bears. Like, here’s what Bears fans are. If you get to the wild card round this year and lose, great. That’s wonderful. We’re ahead of schedule. We’ll take it. So, it’s like right now seven and three feels like 10 and three. And if they play the Eagles tough, like I’ll take it, man. Yeah. And you got the Steelers and it looks like Rogers um isn’t going to need surgery and is pushing to play. And you got to right like that makes sense that Rogers wants to play in this game in Chicago. You know, Rich, I don’t work with I’m not the insider. I don’t work with the sources. I just watch the game and I have my guts. Yes, he’s playing this game. I don’t care if this is a freezing cold take. It is every single thing he wants to play. He’s in Soldier Field, which is his de facto home stadium. Okay. He goes he he owns that place with due respect to the Macy family. Their dual owners are Aaron Rogers. We all know that. Yes, he is. This is his reason for living to go to Chicago and once more dunk their heads in the toilet and flush it. It’s what he’s all about. And isn’t it just setting up perfect, Rich? Like Rogers is hurt. He’s basically going to do his version of a bleep and flu game walking in there. How many times have we seen him hurt, wounded, down, everything, and then all of a sudden Jordy Nelson scores a 400 yard touchdown and rips the Bears heart? It’s setting up perfectly, just how he wants it. And I I’d be shocked if he didn’t play in this game. Are you saying he’s he’s got a touch of the Big Ben in him? Is that what you’re going on, Carl? I think he does have some Big Ben. Yeah. And I think Steelers fans are like, “Why aren’t you playing your non-throwing hand? Get out there.” We saw Brad Shawn Rothlessberger do this for years. He understands that. That’s a big game for Pittsburgh, too. This is not all about him. They got to win this thing. And so, I do think there will be some Big Ben going on. I I freezing cold take me all day long. Air Rogers is playing in this game. I’m saying it with my chest right now. Well, and in terms of the Bears, one more thing on them. Uh, did you see the video of Ben Johnson coming off the field after winning where like where he was he was walking with a fastpac gate with his face looking like they just lost by 21. And I it just seems like he’s sending messages, man. You know, and or we ascribe that to winning coaches, right? Like we ascribe that to for instance to Caleb. He’s gone from man his um his ability to to get to read two read three is something that he’s lacking to oh he’s a magician. He’s running around. He’s making things happen which is what happens when you’re a winning quarterback is the one that’s not Kyle, you know. Oh yeah. A lot of things are happening right now. I I I noticed that the that the idiots online who want to make jokes about his nail polish don’t have squat to say right now because if he’s supposedly nail polished emasculated quarterback is running it up on your team and is seven and three now. So you morons can shut up. He can paint his nails any color he wants. As for the brain trust Rich. Yes. You got to watch Ben Johnson. If you’re not watching Bears game, Ben Johnson, it is so weird. He spends four quarters not blinking. He’s like Dexter. Like a serial killer. He does not coach. It’s a a fly could land on his eyeball and he wouldn’t even blink. It is nuts. And then he walks into the locker room and he gets the game ball and then he goes could better pass over. He just goes crazy. Like it erupts after three hours of just holding it all in. He goes from a serial killer to like Sam Kenisonson in the drop of a hat. It’s snuts. Kyle Brand here on the Rich Eisen Show. All right, this is going to be fun. Have you ever in the history of giving out scepters, you giving out scepters for being an angry fan like Cam Scataboo at RA and Madison Square Garden on Monday night? Cuz again, I miss Cam. I miss seeing him do his thing, but showing up in a Ranger sweater and being a participant with a surgically put back together leg is that worthy of a scepter, do you think? If every That guy when that guy sneezes, it’s worthy of a scepter. When he ties his shoes, it’s worthy of a scepter. He’s going to be the It’s It’s going to be like the Lombardi trophy. is going to be the Scataboo Scepter in perpetuity as he stares down dirty dom Mysterio and doesn’t even blink as he’s wearing a boot and a scooter. Incredible theater. I consider him my blood nephew Cam Scataboo. I am so proud of him. Man, I got to tell you, Rich, sitting here where I am in New York, big, big talk going on from a lot of people about, well, this is irresponsible and he is putting his football career at risk as if he was mankind getting thrown off the cage by the Undertaker. Guys, I have this theory that might have been pre-arranged and scripted what happened last night. So, everybody just take a deep breath because my nephew is pissed off and he’s on Twitter now tweeting like, “Guys, my football career is taken seriously.” Everybody breathe. That’s that’s that’s the face of decetor. He can do anything he wants in the world of pro wrestling. I can’t believe the league missed on him in the first three plus rounds of the draft. I because we were talking about him. I mean, it’s not like we dis Nobody discovered Cam Scataboo. He discovered himself. You know what I mean? But I don’t know how how did the league miss him? And by the way, I don’t Did you see his post in response to everything that’s going on? Oh, yeah. Huh? Yeah. Look at that. I honestly Did I pronounce that first word right? Hey, I don’t know. Hey, if you don’t like that I’m having a good time while dealing with a tough time, then just go ahead and unfollow and casually move on. I’m not able to play football and have the fun I’ve been having my whole life. So, I’m doing things outside the box, trying to find stuff to keep me happy. Enjoy the rest of y’all’s week. And just don’t talk about me if you ain’t got nothing nice to say, right? Keep his name out your mouth. I was just going to say, yeah, ladies and gentlemen, shut up, wimps. Angry, shut up and leave him alone. That’s the guy Rich, you know what I read as he’s taking down all the dweebs out there who say sit there and do nothing. I am. I I’m protective of Cam Scaboo and I’m I’m heartbroken that we lost him. I think that uh he didn’t pass away, thank God. He’s just injured. I think that he’s a guy who’s like I’m all about football. I don’t really know what to do with myself when I run out of football. I’m looking for things to make my happy again. I I don’t know what to do. I can’t play video games. I can’t listen to pods. I need something. And it’s it’s it’s shoving dirty domia. That’s right. It’s not a surprise though either, man. Where else What else is Cam Scataboo going to do? Like Kyle, I said last year at this point in five years, Cam Scataboo is either going to be a special teams star or the Intercontinental Champion head end head end head end head end head end head end head end head end head end head end heading into Wrestlemania. Like that’s it. There was only two things. And now it looks like he might be both a star on football field and a Wrestlemania man. It makes sense, man. And listen, some some people do self-care like JJ McCarthy by meditating. Uh I think I’ve seen Mahomes do that. And other people do uh you know self soothing by hanging out with Andrew Schultz and going at Big Dom, right? Like this. How many Big Doms are there? There’s Well, that’s there’s Big Dom in Philadelphia. And then you have Dirty Dom. Dirty Dom. Dirty Dom. Guys do Brits usually have a nickname attached to the Dom. Except Deloise maybe. I don’t know if Dom Delaware had one. I don’t know. That’s true. He might be one of the only Doms out there. That was awesome though last night to see. But Big Dom was there. Big Cooper Deene, you know. But uh they didn’t mix it up cuz the judgment day didn’t, you know, attack them. They They saw the real threat was Scataboo. No, clearly. I love it. Yes. Dom Deaggio. Did he have a nickname? I don’t. Yeah. The other Deaggio. That’s probably what it was. With all due respect, Tom from Entourage. Um, before I let you go, the thorny issue of who’s the best team in the NFL. I’ve got my power rankings tomorrow. I had the Rams won. I I’m I you know, I can’t I can’t foresee taking them out, but you never know how I’m going to think over the last next 24 hours, but in in my 22 plus on NFL Network, I can’t recall um obviously since most of them were dominated by the Patriots anyway, that there’s no dominant team. I can’t recall a time where we’re entering week 12 and I can’t even maybe peg the final four in either conference right now, Kyle. It’s tough, but that makes it fun. I feel like our final four in the title game weekend, Rich, could be a freak show. I really I I’m thinking about the year we had a handful of years ago. Remember it was it was Tom Brady and Blake Bortles and Nick Fos and Case Keenum were the final four quarterbacks. We could be looking at this year, it’s like, whoa, whoa, whoa, hold on. It’s Daniel Jones and Sam Darnold and whoever’s starting for the ners. It’s just it’s a weird year and I’m here for it. Uh to in answer to your question, I I like the Rams as much as everybody else does. I’ll say this weekend by far the most interesting game in determining who’s good and who’s alive as Colts at Chiefs. Like I I am so excited for this game because you look at the Colts and you’re like, “What is happening?” And then you look at the Chiefs and you’re like, “What is happening? This is this is Daniel Jones has the chance to put Patrick Mahomes to five and six and give him for the third loss in a row for the first time in his career. Wildly interesting to me and I just think like I’m still sticking with the Chiefs from my cold dead hands. The only thing that’s going to make me stop believing in the Chiefs is math. If they are mathematically eliminated, but at five and six with a home loss to Daniel Jones would be just bonkers. And that’s what we’re looking at. Well, and I think it’s going to be what Spagnola is going to try and make happen is that it’s going to have to be Daniel Jones to do it. Uh, and because it will take a village to stop Jonathan Taylor. Watching that game in Berlin, uh, with my 14-year-old Cooper, I’m like, you know what? As the game went to overtime, I’m like, you know, I called the Giants Carolina game in Germany that wound up being Daniel Jones’s last game as the Giants quarterback. And I’m like, the reason why they lost though wasn’t Daniel’s fault. He’s the one who handed it to his running back in overtime and the ball wound up hitting the ground and they lost the fumble and lost it. I said, “I guarantee you in this overtime that will not happen when he hands it to his running back this time.” And and and sure enough, Jonathan Taylor, they didn’t even settle for a field goal. They just kept running 28 until the game was over. And that’s the that’s one of the things that I can’t wait to see. I know and you have every you you’re you’re you’re 100%, you know, right to bring up Daniel Jones’s name, but it really is Spagnolo’s defense, Chris Jones and the rest and Nick Bolton and all of those guys. How do they stop 28 and make Daniel Jones put it on his arm and Arrowhead? That’s the that’s going to be the the good stuff to see what happens there on Sunday. It’s just as you’re rattling off those names, Rich, that’s the craziest part of this Chiefs thing. The guys are all there. Yeah. When the Chiefs fall apart, it’s supposed to be Andy Reid retired, Patrick Mahomes got injured, or they just got fleeced in free agency. The band’s all together, Sarkc’s there, Kelsey’s there, the receivers are there. They’re all there. It’s just the band doesn’t have its mojo right now. And it’s I’m like I’m trying to There’s a time when when Metallica decided to cut all their hair off and started making annoying albums. I’m like, is that where we are with the Chiefs? Like, are they going to find that groove again? because I think this is Metallica cutting their hair off and putting on leather jackets. It just doesn’t feel right. But you see the same guys up there and if they lose to the Colts this weekend, it’s like an exit Sandman. Is it stupid to ask you what you’re watching with your bedtime and you got kids and stuff like that or or do you have time to watch a show these days? Never stupid ask that, Rich. I’ll tell you what I want to watch and I This is I have not yet seen the Running Man remake with Glenn Powell. I’ve not seen the movie yet. I’m holding out hope that they tip the cap to the original and put our guys Whitman Price and the Dod somewhere with Glenn Pal. Bring them back. That’s the guys we want. I don’t know yet. Don’t ruin it for me, but I hope. Spoiler alert. I don’t think Whitman Price and Dad are coming back from anything, Kyle. From this rerun. It’s only only in a rerun. Uh I I haven’t seen it. Uh but when Glenn Powell was here, he did say that it’s not uh one game show in one spot, you know, underground. It’s the the the globe is actually what the the game show is in. So it’s a worldwide situation. But I I I believe um the uh the game show host is um it’s not it’s not an act they didn’t hire an actual game show host, right? Um you know, it’s Why am I playing? Not Richard Dawson. No, it’s not. I mean, or anybody like like it’s not like they brought Steve Harvey and he’s going to be Killian this time. You know what I’m saying? Like they shut up. No. When I see it, Rich, I’m going to be sitting there through the credits waiting for a postredit scene with Whitman Price and Hadad. If they’re not in this movie, even like a little Easter egg of them, those are my guys. And I just hope I’ll be there, but I can only cross my fingers. Yeah. I mean, I I I don’t think it’s going to be So, you’ll see that. Okay. Very good. I’m I’m looking up the cast right now of uh You’re talking about Coleman Domingo. Yeah, Coleman. Yeah, he’s the host. He’s the host. It’s not Josh Bowen. Okay. No, I think Josh Brolan like owns the network. Ah, okay. See, it’s Oh, okay. So, he’s like Achilian. I got it. But I’m there. But Richard Dawson is the bad man was really what listen with Jesse the the body before he was Jesse the Mind. Jim Brown Lonzo. Maria Kena Alonzo Schwarzenegger played Dynamo. Fantastic.
