The morning show “Good Morning Football” started its second week of NFL preseason action with half the crew back in New York. Peter Schrager and Kyle Brandt were on the East Coast covering the New York Jets training camp, while Jamie Erdahl and Akbar Gbajabiamila remained in Los Angeles to use the new studio.
The topic of discussion was the NFL’s recently released list of the top 100 players in the league. Gbajabiamila added a modern twist to a classic analogy that caught the attention of his cohosts. He suggested that players were trying to provoke Patrick Mahomes by not ranking him number one, using the phrase “pissing in someone’s face and calling it rain.”
“It is pissing in someone’s face and calling it rain,” Gbajabiamila proclaimed, as Erdahl, Schrager, and Brandt burst into laughter. The phrase is a twist on a statement from a book by Judge Judy from the 1990s, changing “leg” to “face” for added color.
The crew’s reaction was so amusing that it transcended coasts. “It is a true marvel of modern technology that someone can say that in Los Angeles and it can immediately make two people in New York remove their sunglasses,” remarked one of the hosts.
The banter continued as the crew dissected the list of top players, with each member offering their thoughts on who deserved the number one spot. Despite the playful exchanges, the crew provided insightful analysis and commentary on the upcoming NFL season.
As the show wrapped up, the crew bid farewell from their respective locations, promising to reunite soon for more football talk and antics. The diverse personalities and perspectives of the hosts made for an engaging and entertaining start to the day for football fans everywhere.
