That's right. This is good morning football. Welcome in, everybody. We're live in L.A. and New York. And most importantly, this week, Indianapolis. Today on GMFB, it's Monday, February 24th, 225. This is Manthea. There's Peter Shreger in New York. I'm Jamie Erdall. And welcome to our table this week. Cody Kessler. What up, 2025. This is Manthayetteau. There's Peter Shreger in New York. I'm Jamie Erdall,

and welcome to our table this week. Cody Kessler. What up, Cody. Say things, Cody. What's going on? Oh, I appreciate it. Thanks for having me. I'm excited. I already kind of gave my spiel at the beginning earlier. I'll give a little bit more, but no, it's been a blast. I was just talking to them off camera. It's just when you do new things like this, you start broadcasting.

I've always loved this show.

I've watched it a ton.

You never know I was going to go, but this set, the crew, everyone involved has been amazing. It's been a lot of fun. Well, for those checking in from their cubicle, 9 a.m. Eastern, 6 a.m. West Coast, Cody Kessler, USC quarterback,

is drafted by the Browns, made a couple of stops.

And now you've been doing broadcasting, though, for what in the last couple of years? Yeah, that's three years.

I was kind of going back and forth between if I want back, it's drafted by the Browns, made a couple of stops. And now you've been doing broadcasting, though, for what in the last couple of years?

Yeah, that's three years. I was kind of going back and forth between if I wanted to coach. You know, I got done playing in the NFL. I retired. I walked away and, you know, football as man, I would tell you, kind of always pulls at your heart a little bit. It's tough to fully walk away.

I was going to get into coaching and then sat down with Mark Sanchez, who a very good friend of mine was talking about, hey, you know, college coaching is an 11 and a half month job.

There's really no free time. Yeah. Try this broadcasting thing out. So my agent reached out to USC, and they were very gracious. And, you know, I know Manti doesn't know about this because he went to the wrong school. But the Trojan family is very welcoming. They invited me out to do a couple pregame show.

We do a podcast and all that. And I kind of fell in love with it. And now I'm here doing this. And you guys have been amazing. So I appreciate the opportunity. Really cool. I would say, you know, the thing about it's so great about our GMFB fam is this is the closest that you'll see an Irishman and Trojan. True. In the same family, guys. This is just unheard of.

Only on GMFB, can I meet a guy, this is a USC quarterback guys. USC quarterback, Notre Dame linebacker. We don't get along. But here on GMFB, this is my brother. Hey, and Manti showed me around, actually. I had to scratch my eyes. I thought I was dreaming. He said, hey, let me show you around the set, brother.

Peter, your thoughts on this table today.

Cody, now that we have you at the table, will you properly admit to Mante Tayo that the pushing of Reggie Bush into the end zone? Oh, boy. Probably should have been called. I don't know if we're going to, I don't know what you're opening up here.

That was perfectly legal.

That was a great call.

I love that play.

That fourth and eight was amazing, too, to Dwayne Jarrett. I don't know if we're going to, I don't know what you're opening up here. That was perfectly legal. That was a great call.
