Chapter 1: What are the key highlights from the NFL schedule release?

39.309 - 50.472 Narrator

The schedule came out yesterday, and I had to go through the Jets' schedule and go, oh, week one, Pittsburgh. That's a win. Oh, you gave him a win there, huh? No, I didn't, but I was just doing my thing.

0

51.392 - 55.873 Billy

Well, it could be a double revenge game if Aaron finally signs there. He will.

0

55.893 - 67.416 Mike

That's a good point, right? He will. Someone will exact their revenge, meaning if it's Aaron versus Justin Fields, someone's going to have a day where they exact some sort of revenge on the other team.

0

67.536 - 74.139 Billy

Yeah, revenge will be exacted. By the way, guys, God bless football is presented by DraftKings. DraftKings, the crown is yours.

0

74.559 - 77.1 Mike

Yep. Mikey, where'd you have the Jets in terms of record?

78.232 - 87.376 Narrator

Six and 11. Really? That good, huh? Six and 11. I had to stretch for it. Wow. I had to stretch for it, but I got one. Billy, what did you make of the Dolphins schedule?

87.396 - 88.837 Mike

Did you even look at the Dolphins schedule?

89.317 - 112.309 Billy

So I have, and I have a game. I have a couple games that I want to play with you guys today if you would like to indulge me here on Gobbler's Football. So we have, here's a headline, which we're going to get to soon, but we have some new games that we want to debut today. We have a new game called That's a Game, which we'll explain when we get to that. Here's a headline. We have more Mike Lee.

112.629 - 134.526 Billy

We may have blind rankings today, uncertain. And I have Stugatz in front of me, something that I'm just going to tease the back of real quick. There you go. That was it. It's very exciting. It's hot off the presses. It's something that we haven't really featured on Godless Football before. And I think that it's going to be the star of That's a Game.

Chapter 2: What is Derrick Henry's new contract and its impact on the RB position?

416.4 - 429.385 Mike

That's a good question. I feel like it is slowly coming back. Maybe defense has caught up with the offenses and we're shifting back to the running game now, but Mikey, it does feel like the running game is kind of back, I guess.

0

430.086 - 435.667 Narrator

Maybe the ones that weren't getting paid really weren't worth it. Oh, wow. I mean, you can make an argument.

0

436.068 - 447.375 Mike

Maybe. You can make an argument. Saquon Barkley, Derrick Henry, both those guys, they were in the conversation for MVP last year. It's been a while since we've had two running backs be in that kind of conversation, the MVP conversation.

0

448.095 - 470.287 Billy

I think the interesting thing, though, that you mentioned, Ashton Gentry is, you know, a now top two, three guaranteed money running back in the NFL before even taking a snap. So... He, I think, might be a test case for this, right? Because if that pick hits, it's going to be interesting to see how you handle running backs in the NFL draft moving forward.

0

470.767 - 487.675 Billy

Also, though, obviously, he had a year that no one has had before in college. So he earned being picked there. But with the way money is and the running back position, it'll be interesting to see in the coming years if we now start paying running backs again and if we start taking them so highly in the draft.

489.199 - 500.328 Mike

It's interesting because Mel Kiper was on with us and he still swears by his theory that he put out there many, many years ago. Don't take a running back in the first round. Never take a running back in the first round.

500.388 - 501.709 Billy

Take Shador in the first round.

502.17 - 504.912 Mike

Take Shador Sanders. No, not in the first round. Number one overall.

504.972 - 527.858 Billy

Yeah. And number two, if you can. Yeah. But to Mel's point. Have you checked on Mel, by the way, Mikey? Like, have we checked on your friend Mel? Because he was, man, I felt for Mel, and he was going through with that weekend. And then people were coming after him. And then, honestly, I saw you then caping up for Mel and fighting people off on Twitter left and right.

Chapter 3: Who would the hosts go to war for and what's the story with Mel Kiper's boat?

742.436 - 744.238 Fuentes

What a cop-out answer.

0

744.919 - 751.605 Narrator

If Billy says something on Twitter and people start attacking Billy, you're not jumping in the way I did for Mel Kiper.

0

751.705 - 757.53 Mike

If Billy says take Shador Sanders number one overall and people start going after Billy, I will defend Billy. Yes, I will.

0

757.63 - 759.472 Billy

I don't think you know your Twitter password.

0

759.552 - 762.776 Mike

I don't think you do. Yeah, no. I don't know my Twitter password.

762.796 - 765.199 Billy

Taylor's enjoying being me. Yeah, I've noticed that. I've noticed that.

765.239 - 767.481 Mike

I think that Sugatsu would go to war for the Goliks.

775.609 - 777.17 Billy

I'm going to tell you who I'd go to war for.

777.51 - 784.773 Mike

I would go to war for the Gullocks. Yeah. But I would go to war for Greg Cody. That's who I would go to war for.

Chapter 4: What is the status of Stugotz's potential return to Around the Horn?

945.379 - 969.688 Billy

He just wants – and this is judged on the 11 minutes we spent with Trey Hendrickson. I think he just wants to feel the love because they went out and they had the absolute worst PR ever where they're like, no, he should just be happy. And it's like, no, no, this is not how negotiations should be going. Stop kind of trying to crap on him every chance you get. That's not how it's going to work.

0

969.928 - 976.152 Billy

And now he's not playing because they handled it horribly. But again – Trey, you going to play? Yeah.

0

976.652 - 987.314 Mike

He's had back-to-back seasons of 17 and a half sacks, but I'm with Billy. Push comes to shove. Burrow, Chase, Higgins. Yeah, I'm going to play.

0

987.334 - 993.536 Stugotz

Yeah, I'll be there. I'll be there, guys. Talk to me after training, Kim. I'll be there. Yeah.

0

995.114 - 998.377 Mike

What voice is that? The Hendrickson?

998.397 - 1008.147 Stugotz

That's Trey Hendrickson. I'm a Trey Hendrickson voice double sometimes. Yeah, I'll be there. Anonymous sources next.

1025.168 - 1033.753 Billy

God bless football is presented by Smirnoff. We do game days. Please drink responsibly. The Smirnoff company, New York, New York. So you got, you teased one of our, uh, more popular games.

1034.353 - 1041.678 Mike

Yeah. Anonymous sources. Yes. I am very much looking forward to it. We also have blind rankings coming up and, uh, Is that a game?

1042.178 - 1063.39 Billy

Yeah, not is that a game, just that's a game. Oh, I'm sorry. And more Mikely. And more Mikely. We have a lot to get in on this episode of God Bless Football. Also, Stugatz, I was wondering, because I was thinking of doing this as we're kind of winding down our run here, because there's another show that's winding down its run, which is Around the Horn, and it had me thinking.

Chapter 5: What are the anonymous NFC team executive sources saying after the draft?

Chapter 6: What is the new game 'That's a Game' and how does it work?

Chapter 7: What is the situation with Trey Hendrickson's contract holdout?

808.357 - 836.217 Billy

I do. Yeah. No, I, well, I don't know about that, but I do. I do like Greg. Yeah. I was thinking maybe Sims, but I feel like if I went to war with Sims, he'd be a casualty of friendly fire. I would be the guy that you can't really trust him. I'd pull out a pin in the grenade, put it in his pocket, and just walk away. Oh, what happened, Chris? You don't have legs now. No legs and no spleen. Yeah.

0

837.378 - 842.18 Mike

One last thing to clean up. Explain. I feel like Sims would not go to war for us, right?

0

842.2 - 845.462 Billy

Not at all. No, I'm shocked that he even comes on the show still. Right.

0

845.502 - 849.144 Mike

But the people who have been on the show, I feel like Golik would go to war for us.

0

849.324 - 849.624 Billy

I do.

852.785 - 853.086 Mike

No.

855.047 - 864.798 Narrator

Go, Joe. Go, Joe. Go, Joe. Gojo maybe. Better chance with Gojo. Mike's too old to fight wars.

866.52 - 871.284 Mike

He's fought too many wars. Do we have another headline, Billy? Are we done with headlines?

871.605 - 875.929 Billy

Usually we all provide a headline.

Chapter 8: How do the hosts blind rank running backs and what are their opinions?

1368.556 - 1370.237 Mike

Okay, Frank Isolo, the Iceman?

0

1372.077 - 1392.886 Billy

The Iceman is, I mean, you have the complication of Jay Mariotti, who's probably not going to be on the shows at all going forward, but he was like a Mount Rushmore guy. What about Bill Pulaski? Oh, yeah, Bill Plash, she's got to be there. Jackie McMullen's got to be there. Jackie McMullen's got to be there. Jackie Mack is big, yeah. Yeah, she's got to be there.

0

1392.906 - 1397.187 Billy

Wow, I'm surprised with the few segments that we have left.

0

1397.327 - 1398.388 Narrator

Tim Kalashaw.

0

1398.428 - 1400.508 Billy

Yeah, let's see here.

1402.249 - 1403.589 Mike

The old Boston sports writer, too.

1403.93 - 1407.252 Billy

Ooh, maybe he is. Nah. Nah.

1407.312 - 1408.773 Narrator

Bob Ryan? Bob Ryan?

1409.393 - 1413.694 Billy

Oh, Bob Ryan's got to be there. Yeah, you see why, Stugatz? I'm telling you, you really got to.
