| 0:00.0 | You've been doing this bid on Good Morning Football, right? |
| 0:03.2 | I was the one in the Packers' Playoff game. There's Brian. What's up, Brian? That hurt, actually. You know, just a whole-up in my back. If you punched me in the kidney, it actually hurt. Did you get called out on the Twitter roundback? You called me out at the beginning. What was the tweet? I was the one at the first half of the Packers playoff game that said, Nice season. |
| 0:22.2 | That's the worst one, because that was the latest at the first half of the Packers playoff game that said, nice season. |
| 0:22.3 | That's the worst one, because that was the latest in the season. |
| 0:25.2 | I held my ground all season long, and then it just felt like the clock ran out. |
| 0:30.7 | It didn't. |
| 0:31.2 | And then it didn't. It didn't. |
| 0:33.5 | And it was one of those things where... |
| 0:34.7 | What are you doing? |
| 0:35.4 | I know. It was one of those things in that game where it was like, I had already just kind of accepted it |
| 0:41.7 | and was like embracing how great of a year it was. |
| 0:45.1 | Then they come back, take the lead, and I'm like, no, now you have to win, |
| 0:49.0 | because this is going to ruin my life. |
| 0:51.0 | Well, I respect that you didn't delete the tweet. |
| 0:52.7 | Of course not. |
| 0:53.3 | And second of all, never delete a tweet. |
| 0:54.6 | The Rams loss was unfulfilling, but who cares? The Packers' loss would have been terrible. I felt like that was their 2025 Super Bowl. You can't lose that game. And they didn't. I felt after that Packers win in the playoffs, it was like, the Rams kind of a gravy game. you know if they win another one awesome but the job's done for the year that's how i felt yeah i mean |
| 1:13.3 | hey you were at Hallis Hall, you're doing your thing, man. I mean, what was it like to be? Because that's the big talk is how much things have changed around Hallisaw. Was that the vibe you got? So much. I've been there for years. I've sat with Trubisky, sat with Fields, I've sat with Nagy, I've sat with Ibrose, in the same office. It's kind of creepy and morbid. You go into the same head coach's office, sit down with the coach, and then you go in there, the coach is gone. I go to talk with Caleb, no Ben Johnson, didn't meet him, no sit down, and I couldn't have liked it more. Too busy. I went there on Packers Week. He was going up to Green Bay that week, and I loved that he didn't do the sit down. He didn't, hey, hey, come in, hang out. All business, and I absolutely loved it. That's an interesting dynamic between those two, because on its surface, it feels like they couldn't be more different in terms of personality. You know, Caleb's very eccentric doing his thing. And like you said, Ben's like this serial killer, right? And then he's ripping his shirt off. So, like, what do you think is the common denominator between those two that made it work the way it did here? It's a good question. Look at you. You're going for like a bulletin. That's an incredible question. We have a journalist here. Look, when I was a little kid, there was a coach and a quarterback named Dick and McMahon. I mean, like, we see this all the time. I don't get a little worried when the coach and quarterback are exactly alike, because then who's the other voice in the room? Like, Ben Johnson, I don't think messes like Caleb does. |
| 2:37.0 | I don't think Caleb acts like Ben Johnson does. So I think that's, it could have been a disaster. Like they could have been like, oh, I hate this guy. I don't want to be in the same room, but it's not. Because Caleb's thoughtful and sensitive, and so is the coach. So final one, because I know you're really busy, I appreciate your time, but a lot of naysayers, all the rival fans around the league, they say, well, this can't be duplicated. You can't do this again. All these comeback wins. Obviously, you were giving a lot of crap to the Bears' doubters, but what would you say to the doubters that aren't Bears fans that think that they can't do all these comebacks and can't have this magic. Iceman isn't going to be able to perform these miracles going forward. I'm so sorry that that comfortable time where the Bears always sucked is over now. I'm so sorry that the Bears are no longer yours to kick around. It's comfortable like a warm blanket that they suck and the quarterback suck. I'm just so sorry, you're freezing out in the street now. |
| 3:25.0 | And you know what? |
| 3:26.0 | You ain't seen nothing yet. |
| 3:27.5 | This man always kills it. |
