Kyle Brandt and the Good Morning Football crew had 1 last emotional sign off before leaving New York

For years, Good Morning Football fans have woken up in the early mornings to see the crew talking about the latest in the football world on NFL Network. The biggest changes to the show have been its different crew members, but it’s always just generally been the same show.

Starting today, that show will be going away for a while.

Good Morning Football is going on an indefinite hiatus as the show moves across the country to a new studio in LA. The GMFB crew announced the move on the show earlier this month.

While the move doesn’t seem like a big deal to most of us, it is for the folks working on it. GMFB has been based in New York City for its entire existence. Now, everything is changing.

That’s why Kyle Brandt, Jason McCourty and the rest of the GMFB crew seemed so emotional during their final sign-off from New York on Friday.

Brandt addressed the show’s future himself from the streets of New York for the final time.

“I know you have questions, because I’ve seen them. Why is this happening? Who’s going to LA? Why would you take something that you got so right and change it? Some of those answers I don’t know. Some of them are not mine to give. And, candidly, I have a lot of questions myself. Here’s what I know. I, personally, will be intensly involved in Good Morning Football moving forward and I want to spend the rest of my career with the NFL. And Good Morning Football is not ending — it’s expanding.” 

Meanwhile, to end things, Jason McCourty gave us one final emotional sendoff.

“Very hard to say goodbye to a lot of people here. And Kyle talked about Good Morning Football continuing on the west coast. When it continues on the west coast, everybody has asked if the four of us will be there or not. There’s going to be a lot of people behind the scenes who won’t have the opportunity to go to LA. And those are the people who have been very close to me for these past 20 months.” 

The show will be back, but we don’t know exactly when. Brandt also said the show will be covering the draft, so we can assume it’ll be back in time for it at the end of April.

We’ll have to wait and see.
