Chapter 1: Who are the hosts of 'God Bless Football'?

00:21 - 00:33 Billy

God bless football, Mikey, eh? God bless football, Fuentes. God bless football, Billy Gill. Guys, today's episode of God Bless Football is presented by DraftKings. DraftKings, the crown is yours.

0

00:34 - 00:36 Mike

Hey, guys, we got to do better on that.

0

00:37 - 00:38 Billy

On what?

0

00:38 - 01:02 Mike

Fuentes, Fuentes, what was that God bless football? I mean, that was a half-hearted, I don't even God bless football on that. And you went back to your question, your questionable God bless football. Like, God bless football? Me? Yeah. Fuentes. Yeah. Fuentes was just flat. You said after last week you were going to up the game a little bit in the God Bless Football, and I feel like we failed.

0

00:00 - 00:00 Mike

We failed it.

00:00 - 00:00 Billy

You're not wrong. I still am kind of trying to figure out if I like that as the opening of the show or not, which at this point in the show's run doesn't matter, you know? No. No, it doesn't. I guess we'll just continue God-blessing football. You want me to start again? Ready? God bless football, Mikey A. God bless football, Fuentes.

00:00 - 00:00 Unidentified Speaker (Brief Interjection)

God bless football, Billy Go.

00:00 - 00:00 Billy

That was even worse. That was better. I thought that was better. I think the thing with Mike Fuentes is he wants to... How do I best describe this? He wants... No, well, that, yes, obviously. But I think aesthetically, he wants to be...

Chapter 2: Why is Fuentes entering his goth era?

01:53 - 02:17 Unidentified Speaker (Brief Interjection)

bad bunny or nikki jam with the energy of a goth like you want to be goth nikki jam does that sound about right fuentes or no no what it is is is that i look over in the zoom and everybody looks very comfortable in their houses their nice chairs all very nice meanwhile me and danny were in traffic this morning for an hour and a half trying to get here and now i'm tired and in a bad mood

0

02:18 - 02:27 Mike

It's 36 degrees outside. That's fine. Just in case you needed like, oh, he's comfortable in his house. It's 36 degrees outside.

0

02:27 - 02:53 Billy

I woke up at 5 to go to a preschool day parent-teacher conference. So I'm sorry the traffic was so rough for you. No, you're not. You're not sorry. I'm not sorry at all. I don't think that that's really a problem. I think that you have it pretty good. Goth Nicky Jam. And you're just now sad for whatever reason because that's your thing. And now you're taking it out on us for whatever reason.

0

02:53 - 02:55 Billy

Look, if anything... Hey, guys, free agency.

0

00:00 - 00:00 Mike

Free agency, guys.

Chapter 3: What are the latest moves in NFL free agency?

02:56 - 03:15 Billy

Well, I would just say this also, Mike Fuentes. You're complaining. You're surrounded by friends at work, okay? Yeah. Me and Mikey are home alone, left to our own thoughts. Like, in the dead of winter where it's, you know, in the 40s for Mikey and it's, like, 82 for me. So, like...

0

03:16 - 03:32 Billy

it's hard it's hard being by yourself and taking care of your mentals when you hear home alone while you're there surrounded by danny b and lewis was dancing behind you a second ago so and you have lunch and breakfast provided for you so like yeah breakfast is great yeah breakfast is great

0

03:33 - 03:38 Unidentified Speaker (Brief Interjection)

when you get here, but then you realize you're like 20 pounds overweight and your metabolism checked out like 10 years ago.

0

03:39 - 03:47 Mike

Oh, 20 pounds? 20 pounds overweight? That's a problem for you? I didn't notice 20 pounds overweight. I didn't realize that would be a problem.

0

00:00 - 00:00 Billy

Killed to be 20 pounds overweight. When did your metabolism slow down, Fuentes? Oh, I don't know.

00:00 - 00:00 Unidentified Speaker (Brief Interjection)

It checked out at least a decade ago.

00:00 - 00:00 Billy

A decade ago?

00:00 - 00:00 Unidentified Speaker (Brief Interjection)

At least, minimum, I would say.

00:00 - 00:00 Billy

That's not bad. I mean, if you're 20 pounds overweight, it kicked out a decade ago. Just think of it this way. You only put on two pounds a year. That's nothing. That's nothing. That really isn't a big deal at all. Free agency. Oh, we're just not talking about your overweightness anymore?

Chapter 4: How is Billy Gill preparing for the NFL season?

06:34 - 06:38 Mike

If the Bills were the Jets, the Dolphins would be in the playoffs.

0

06:38 - 07:01 Billy

Okay. Yeah. You're right. The Bills are basically two guaranteed losses on the Dolphins' schedule every season. So when you miss the playoffs by, like, a game, the Bills are who I'm blaming for the Dolphins not making the playoffs. But, again, and just what a captivating spirit he has where just one sit-down with him completely changed everything. You guys bonded at the Super Bowl. I know.

0

07:01 - 07:03 Billy

Two years ago. Yeah, I know.

0

07:03 - 07:12 Unidentified Speaker (Brief Interjection)

You had him laughing. You made a little joke about Haley Steinfeld, and he wasn't there. He gave you a little smirk, a little look. I was like, oh, that's the buds. I got a screenshot of you guys looking into each other's eyes and smiling.

0

00:00 - 00:00 Billy

Yeah. I mean, I, yeah, but that was just, I think that's just him. I think he's just a captivating personality and I think he just charms people and then he goes on and breaks their hearts and spirits, you know?

00:00 - 00:00 Mike

Stu Gatz would say, Josh Allen loves you, Billy. Billy, Billy, Josh Allen loves you. My question to you is, in all honesty.

00:00 - 00:00 Billy

No, is the answer.

00:00 - 00:00 Mike

If he saw you in a room, would he be like, I know that guy?

00:00 - 00:00 Billy

Not at all.

Chapter 5: Why is the Dolphins' playoff drought a concern?

13:43 - 13:57 Billy

The Vikings one is also still a question mark because there's JJ McCarthy, who they drafted last season, but he missed all of last season with an injury. So we don't know where they stand on him, if he's going to be their starter, if they're going to bring someone in. Daniel Jones was promised that he would be their guy. And then Daniel Jones decided, you know what?

0

13:59 - 14:09 Billy

Indiana, Indiana Jones, I recall him headed towards Indiana. Now he's going to be a backup in Indiana. So the quarterback carousel quite active so far this season, Mikey.

0

14:10 - 14:34 Mike

I love Daniel Jones's decision to go to because like he's he's he's essentially a bad version of Anthony Richardson where he's left, has, has some good throws, but like has some trouble actually running an offense, but he can run with his legs and he's a big physical guy. Like their offense won't change from quarterback to quarterback too much. I mean, Anthony Richardson is more talented.

0

14:34 - 14:55 Mike

Let's like, before we get like, let's get that out there. But like, I love that. He was like, you know what? I'm going to go somewhere where it's going to be the same either way. Um, I don't know. I know the Giants are still looking for a quarterback at this point. We're recording this Thursday. At this point, I don't know why anyone would go there.

0

00:00 - 00:00 Mike

The Steelers, if they decide to keep Kenny Pickett... Not Kenny Pickett. George Pickens, like... That's a team you could win with. With Mike Tomlin's defense, I know why Rodgers would go there.

00:00 - 00:00 Billy

We also didn't address... Well, I know why Rodgers would go there. I don't know why Tomlin would want him unless you think what you saw from him is good enough. You guys, the Jets, also, surprise, you found your new quarterback in Justin Fields, also a former Steeler. The Indiana thing makes sense if you're Daniel Jones, I think, because what you're guessing is...

00:00 - 00:00 Billy

Anthony Richardson is going to get a boo-boo at some point in the season, and I'm going to see the field. And if I do good on that option in the field, I could be Joe Flacco.

00:00 - 00:00 Mike

Or he might just pull himself out. That happens. He just pulls himself out of games every once in a while.

00:00 - 00:00 Billy

That is true. And by the way, Joe Flacco's still out there, just kind of wandering around. Guys, we have a lot of fun segments for you today. We have a fan favorite, More Mikely, which is going to be coming up next. And then we have the debut of a new segment called Is It Over?

Chapter 6: What is the 'More Mikely' segment about?

20:31 - 20:42 Mike

And then you reset the whole thing next year in a better draft class, a better free agent class. But no, you went and gave a running back, Justin Fields, $20 million a year.

0

20:44 - 21:01 Billy

Dude, I'm a big Jameis guy, and I was getting killed earlier this week because I said the Steelers should sign Jameis Winston instead of Aaron Rodgers, and they were crushing me. They're like, why on earth would you sign Jameis Winston over Aaron Rodgers? I'm like, dude, Jameis could do stuff with the weapons the Steelers have. He's good enough to get you in the playoffs, and you never know.

0

21:01 - 21:09 Mike

It's going to be a whole lot. With Jameis, it's always going to be a lot of, please don't do that, please don't do that. It works. Please don't do that, please don't do that. I told you not to do that.

0

21:09 - 21:10 Billy

And that's fine.

0

00:00 - 00:00 Mike

But his wide receivers are going to be happy because he's going to get him the ball. I mean, he's going to.

00:00 - 00:00 Billy

How fun was Jameis last year in the snow game? That was one of my favorite games of the season last year, just Jameis Winston playing in the snow. You mentioned Zach Wilson. Hey, he's a dolphin now. So things are perfectly fine down here in Miami. If anything happens to Tua, we finally got him that quality backup that the Dolphins fans have been desiring all these years.

00:00 - 00:00 Mike

A little behind the scenes, you know, we text each other, you know, this group, me, you, Fuentes, Stugatz. And after the Jets signed Justin Fields, Fuentes said kind of a ha-ha, you guys have your quarterback now. I did not. I did not laugh. And then like an hour later, you guys signed Zach Wilson, and I won.

00:00 - 00:00 Unidentified Speaker (Brief Interjection)

I said you guys deserve better. I was trying to be nice. I know this is not what you wanted. That's not how I read it.

00:00 - 00:00 Billy

You immediately turned it on me. You guys deserve better. This is terrible.
