1
00:00:05,680 --> 00:00:09,920
Speaker 1: This is straight fire with Jason McIntyre.

2
00:00:11,160 --> 00:00:15,440
Speaker 2: What is up, straight Faam, It's me Jason McIntyre, Straight

3
00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:22,239
Speaker 2: fire for Wednesday, August fourteenth. It's getting closed, folks, not

4
00:00:22,360 --> 00:00:26,720
Speaker 2: just NFL Fantasy football on the horizon. I have booked

5
00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:31,360
Speaker 2: my ticket to Vegas to enter the contest, the aforementioned

6
00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:33,760
Speaker 2: contest that I always talk about. Got to meet my

7
00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:37,040
Speaker 2: proxy sign up. Hopefully it won't be another what is

8
00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:39,760
Speaker 2: it thy fifteen and whatever the tally is flushed down

9
00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:44,479
Speaker 2: the toilet. I have a pouring over Week one already,

10
00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:48,840
Speaker 2: just a confused look on my face as I look

11
00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:52,720
Speaker 2: and him like Bengals, Is Jamar Chas gonna play? Cowboys?

12
00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:55,800
Speaker 2: Is CD lamb gonna play? And now we get word

13
00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:58,400
Speaker 2: faux show. JJ McCarthy will not play, although he wasn't

14
00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:00,160
Speaker 2: gonna start anywhere for the vikings. We'll dig in all

15
00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:04,240
Speaker 2: that before we start. Just a quick little side note

16
00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:07,800
Speaker 2: putting a bowl in the Olympics. I saw that the

17
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:13,200
Speaker 2: women's gold medal match against France where they won. It

18
00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:15,119
Speaker 2: was I think they won by one. Yeah, France hit

19
00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:19,200
Speaker 2: like a I think they hit a two. That three

20
00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:20,640
Speaker 2: would have sent it to overtime, and they had the

21
00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:25,160
Speaker 2: woman's foot was on the line. Anyways, that matchup pulled

22
00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:29,720
Speaker 2: in seven point eight million viewers on NBC and Peacock. Now,

23
00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:32,240
Speaker 2: it was an early start time nine to thirty am Eastern,

24
00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:34,399
Speaker 2: so you you know, I mean, how many people in

25
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:36,120
Speaker 2: LA were waking up at six thirty to watch it?

26
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:39,120
Speaker 2: I don't know that being or the entire West Coast.

27
00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:43,920
Speaker 2: Donch just LA seven point eight million, Okay. I just

28
00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:47,400
Speaker 2: want to point out that South Carolina versus Caitlin Clark

29
00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:52,120
Speaker 2: in the National Championship had eighteen million viewers. South Carolina

30
00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:58,080
Speaker 2: versus Iowa as opposed to the US women's national team. Folks,

31
00:01:58,240 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 2: you can't tell me that they didn't leave a lot

32
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:02,720
Speaker 2: of viewers on the table by not including Kitlin Clark

33
00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:05,600
Speaker 2: on that team. I will go out on a limb

34
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:08,880
Speaker 2: and say that's seven point eight number for the US

35
00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:11,160
Speaker 2: France game. First of all, I didn't watch. I was

36
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:12,480
Speaker 2: out here on the West Coast. I did not wake

37
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:16,520
Speaker 2: up at six thirty to watch women's basketball Olympic gold

38
00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:20,760
Speaker 2: medal match on a Sunday in August. Sorry, I I

39
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:22,959
Speaker 2: don't know if she's worth eight million viewers, but I

40
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:24,960
Speaker 2: think that number would have been closer to fifteen million,

41
00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:29,239
Speaker 2: certainly in the twelve to fifteen million range. I mean again,

42
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:32,720
Speaker 2: Kitlin Clark got Iowa South Carolina into eighteen million. They

43
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:35,639
Speaker 2: normally never get any numbers for the women's Final four,

44
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:39,280
Speaker 2: so I was just putting that out there. Missed opportunity.

45
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:42,280
Speaker 2: Although Kitlyn Clark apparently is enjoying all her time off,

46
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:44,959
Speaker 2: I've seen her on stage at concert. She's vacation and yeah,

47
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:47,120
Speaker 2: I follow her on the Gram. Angel Reefs seems to

48
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:49,040
Speaker 2: be having a good time. She's apparently dating a guy

49
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:51,800
Speaker 2: on the I think the Detroit Pistons, Jalen Duran. There

50
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:54,200
Speaker 2: are a lot of rumors about Kad and Angel Reeves,

51
00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:58,600
Speaker 2: but it seems like Jalen Duran, the young kid on

52
00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:02,720
Speaker 2: the Pistons, is the lucky gentleman dating Angel Reese who

53
00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:04,240
Speaker 2: has a lot of fans on the Gram.

58
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:19,160
Speaker 2: All right, let's get to the NFL and the JJ

59
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:21,600
Speaker 2: McCarthy news is kind of a bummer. It's not that

60
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:25,440
Speaker 2: his season is over, but he suffered a tear in

61
00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:28,440
Speaker 2: the meniscus of his right knee, and he's going to

62
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:33,680
Speaker 2: have surgery this week, depending on which NFL injury doctor

63
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:37,400
Speaker 2: you want to believe, and the answer could certainly be

64
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:39,160
Speaker 2: none of them. You can just wait and find out.

65
00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:44,120
Speaker 2: It seems like McCarthy will be out for anywhere from

66
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:47,400
Speaker 2: I don't know, four to twelve weeks, depending on how

67
00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:51,839
Speaker 2: much of a cleanup was needed, and that stinks for McCarthy. Now,

68
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:53,000
Speaker 2: I do want to go off on a bit of

69
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:57,040
Speaker 2: a tangent. This is if you are a Sam Darnold truther,

70
00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:00,320
Speaker 2: or if you think you don't want to take your

71
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:04,480
Speaker 2: quarterback high in the fantasy draft, say a Joe Burrow,

72
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 2: Patrick Mahomes, Dak Prescott, whomever, Right, Josh Allen, I think

73
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:14,600
Speaker 2: one of my strategies will be I'm gonna wait for

74
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:18,560
Speaker 2: I don't know, around six seven eight, and just grab

75
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:21,320
Speaker 2: Sam Darnold. I'm just telling you. Kevin O'Connell is a

76
00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:24,880
Speaker 2: guy I firmly believe in as an offensive coordinator. The

77
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:27,560
Speaker 2: stuff he was dialing up last year with quarterbacks vastly

78
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:31,320
Speaker 2: inferior to Donald super impressive. So I'm a believer in

79
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:34,080
Speaker 2: the vikings with Donald I think it's a smart fantasy stash.

80
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:37,599
Speaker 2: Now ask for the JJ McCarthy news. McCarthy's kind of

81
00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:42,039
Speaker 2: interesting because people have not gotten on board that he

82
00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:46,560
Speaker 2: is something or could potentially be something. There's a lot

83
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:48,839
Speaker 2: of doubters. Oh, he went twenty eight and won at Michigan,

84
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:53,120
Speaker 2: So okay, so what we're the splash plays, we're the

85
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:56,080
Speaker 2: big numbers. He don't have those. He's just a six

86
00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:59,960
Speaker 2: three two fifteen two twenty kin kind of guy who

87
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:03,640
Speaker 2: you can't really put in a box. And that is

88
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:07,279
Speaker 2: what makes him so perplexing to people. Now this, I'm

89
00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:10,360
Speaker 2: gonna go and tell a quick story. So I have

90
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:13,839
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna name the guy or his kid, but

91
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:18,080
Speaker 2: I have a friend whose daughter is an incredible up

92
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:20,320
Speaker 2: and coming basketball player. I'm not just saying this at

93
00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:24,680
Speaker 2: the local level. This girl high school player has now

94
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:27,800
Speaker 2: started to get major recognition. The offers are flowing in.

95
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:33,400
Speaker 2: Very young player, immensely talented. Listen, her dad, who I

96
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:35,640
Speaker 2: know is like six ' five, was a great high

97
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:39,840
Speaker 2: school player. I think he played D one and then

98
00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:41,640
Speaker 2: I think I'm not sure what happened after that. But

99
00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:43,920
Speaker 2: we're friends. But I'm not plumbing into his background. But

100
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:47,640
Speaker 2: he was telling me about what it's like talking to

101
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:51,159
Speaker 2: college basketball coaches about his kid. And this goes to

102
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:54,080
Speaker 2: my putting a kid a person in a box. Everybody

103
00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:57,000
Speaker 2: wants to do this. Everybody in middle management to upper

104
00:05:57,040 --> 00:06:03,280
Speaker 2: management seems to think, oh, we say X person. Is

105
00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:06,240
Speaker 2: this in the mold of why because it's easy for

106
00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:13,600
Speaker 2: everyone to associate with. Oh, everybody thinks this. Patrick Mahomes

107
00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:16,080
Speaker 2: is a unicorn and there is no next Patrick Mahomes.

108
00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:18,280
Speaker 2: But you know who could be the next Peyton Manning?

109
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:21,760
Speaker 2: You know that could be. And I'm just gonna throw

110
00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:25,919
Speaker 2: out a name here. I'm just gonna say Jayden Daniels

111
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:28,200
Speaker 2: could be the next Peyton Manning. Again, I'm not saying

112
00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:30,760
Speaker 2: that he is or but that's what people would want

113
00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:32,520
Speaker 2: to say. Jadan Daniels. See see what he can do. Now.

114
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:34,400
Speaker 2: I know he's a running quarterback in college and stuff,

115
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:37,080
Speaker 2: but he could be that Peyton Manning tech. No, I'm

116
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:39,080
Speaker 2: not saying, I'm not making that connection. This is just

117
00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:41,800
Speaker 2: an example. Okay, they want to put you in a box.

118
00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:43,880
Speaker 2: And I'll never forget I've told this, I believe on

119
00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:47,159
Speaker 2: the pod, definitely on my old radio show, but people

120
00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:49,960
Speaker 2: didn't really know what to do with me. It was like, oh,

121
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:55,640
Speaker 2: he started a website, but he has a radio show. Huh.

122
00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:59,120
Speaker 2: He didn't play in the NBA, NFL, Major League Baseball,

123
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:04,560
Speaker 2: didn't play college. He's a brown guy. What do we

124
00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:06,920
Speaker 2: have here? And they didn't know what to do with me.

125
00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:08,640
Speaker 2: So I bounced around, and you bounced around her to

126
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:13,720
Speaker 2: you find a really good spot, right, And my buddy,

127
00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:16,720
Speaker 2: whose daughter is this up and coming superstar? I'm just

128
00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:20,800
Speaker 2: telling you, guys, I'm not going overboard. When the rankings

129
00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:23,080
Speaker 2: come out for her class, there's a chance she's number

130
00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:26,760
Speaker 2: one in her class. Now, it's early, and obviously she's

131
00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:30,560
Speaker 2: hit a growth spurt in his girls. Awesome, okay, And

132
00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:35,560
Speaker 2: a very prominent Division I school that was in the

133
00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:40,920
Speaker 2: NCAA tournament for women's made an offer and they met

134
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:47,040
Speaker 2: with father and daughter. And as they're telling as he's

135
00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:50,040
Speaker 2: telling me, they were trying to and it's early again,

136
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:52,040
Speaker 2: it's early on things. Sure things could change. They were

137
00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:54,200
Speaker 2: trying to put her in a box. This is what

138
00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:57,800
Speaker 2: she will be with us, And instantly he's like, whoa.

139
00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:00,520
Speaker 2: Now he didn't convey this to him. You take it

140
00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:02,320
Speaker 2: all in and then you go back and huddle up

141
00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:06,840
Speaker 2: with your squad. But he didn't like this because it's like, well,

142
00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:11,760
Speaker 2: she's got several years to grow and mature, and you

143
00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:14,000
Speaker 2: have barely see you've seen her a one or two tournaments.

144
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:16,080
Speaker 2: You can do so many more things than just that.

145
00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:19,880
Speaker 2: This is not a specialist. This is a talent who

146
00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:21,880
Speaker 2: can do everything. And I've seen the kid. She can

147
00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:24,760
Speaker 2: do everything. And this is where we get in trouble

148
00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:27,280
Speaker 2: trying to put people in boxes. And I bring this

149
00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:31,720
Speaker 2: back to JJ McCarthy because look at his college resume.

150
00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:34,760
Speaker 2: He won last year the Natty by handing off a

151
00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:37,240
Speaker 2: lot and just making a few timely throws. Yeah, he

152
00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:41,760
Speaker 2: had a terrible start to the Alabama game in the semifinal,

153
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:45,839
Speaker 2: and then he quickly bounced back with a clutch second

154
00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:48,360
Speaker 2: half and a really impressive couple drives. But people were

155
00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:50,400
Speaker 2: still doubting, well, what is he. He's kind of a

156
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:54,240
Speaker 2: game manager, which is you know, so denigrating. It's like

157
00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:58,680
Speaker 2: what Cam Newton says about guys, Oh he's a game manager. Meanwhile,

158
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:02,400
Speaker 2: Tom Brady, you've heard of him for like the first

159
00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:04,800
Speaker 2: five years of his career. He was a game manager.

160
00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:07,120
Speaker 2: That's what he was. You guys can go look it up.

161
00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:10,760
Speaker 2: They didn't trust him a ton, and you got to

162
00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:13,280
Speaker 2: earn that trust obviously, But once Brady did, it was like,

163
00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:16,200
Speaker 2: oh my goodness. And then you get him Randy Moss

164
00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:18,200
Speaker 2: and you get to go to two tight ends and

165
00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:21,040
Speaker 2: then you go with the slot receivers and like all

166
00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:23,920
Speaker 2: of a sudden, No, Tom Brady's the greatest quarterback ever.

167
00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:27,520
Speaker 2: Look at all these superwol comebacks. But remember he started

168
00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:30,000
Speaker 2: as a game manager. And McCarthy's a tough one to

169
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:32,280
Speaker 2: pin down. People don't know what he is not a

170
00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:34,760
Speaker 2: lot of people are in he's early. He's twenty one

171
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:38,400
Speaker 2: and I believe in a half years old. Like, why

172
00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:40,120
Speaker 2: are we trying to put him in a box? I

173
00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:44,040
Speaker 2: am huge on the upside of McCarthy. I like what

174
00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:48,000
Speaker 2: I saw. Quick decision making can scramble just enough. And

175
00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:50,199
Speaker 2: I'll bring it full circle to my guy brock Perdy.

176
00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:53,240
Speaker 2: You guys know I'm a brock Perdy truther. I've seen enough.

177
00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:57,160
Speaker 2: He's the man now at this salary. Obviously he's the man.

178
00:09:57,400 --> 00:09:58,880
Speaker 2: I don't know that he's the man that give you

179
00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:02,880
Speaker 2: give him two a money, right, But without question, to me,

180
00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:05,400
Speaker 2: brock Purdy is the one who has kind of broken

181
00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:08,120
Speaker 2: the mold. Now Russell Wilson, if you will, If you guys,

182
00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:11,880
Speaker 2: remember the Russell Wilson situation in Seattle when he was

183
00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:15,440
Speaker 2: coming out of he started NC State. Then Wisconsin had

184
00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:17,960
Speaker 2: had that good Rose Bowl game they ended up losing,

185
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:22,680
Speaker 2: I believe, and Seattle had just signed a quarterback named

186
00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:26,440
Speaker 2: Matt Flynn who in week seventeen at the time had

187
00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:29,439
Speaker 2: like five touchdowns four hundred yards and everybody was all excited.

188
00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:32,400
Speaker 2: Oh he got to play buried behind Rogers, look what

189
00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:34,000
Speaker 2: he can do. And then Seattle goes and signs him

190
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:36,079
Speaker 2: to a big money contract. They draft Russell Wilson in

191
00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:39,319
Speaker 2: the third round. Wilson like easily beats him out in

192
00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:41,920
Speaker 2: camp and the rest is history. Nobody knew what to

193
00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:43,800
Speaker 2: do with Russell Wilson. Oh, he's a baseball guy, he's

194
00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:48,240
Speaker 2: kind of small. NC State didn't want him. After a

195
00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:51,240
Speaker 2: storied career there, Wow, would they not want him? And

196
00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:53,160
Speaker 2: people are trying to put him in a box, and

197
00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:55,360
Speaker 2: you couldn't do that with Russell Wilson. Don't think about

198
00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:57,760
Speaker 2: the late career Russell Wilson. Think over the early career,

199
00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:02,400
Speaker 2: making plays left and right. I'm pretty sure as a rookie.

200
00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:05,040
Speaker 2: He had an incredible playoff game against Atlanta that they

201
00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:09,760
Speaker 2: might have lost, but he was unbelievable. Russell Wilson. I

202
00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:12,400
Speaker 2: know people debate whether or not he's a Hall of Famer.

203
00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:14,520
Speaker 2: I don't see how you can't put him in the

204
00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:21,439
Speaker 2: Hall of Fame when quarterback in always a top five

205
00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:24,559
Speaker 2: to seven quarterback when he was in Seattle. Now he

206
00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:27,079
Speaker 2: was never a top like three. I don't think he

207
00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:30,440
Speaker 2: got MVP votes. But you know, you look at Eli

208
00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:33,800
Speaker 2: Manning and Eli Manning had an inferior career in the

209
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:37,840
Speaker 2: regular season of Russell Wilson. Eli Manning just had two

210
00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:42,320
Speaker 2: extraordinary Super Bowl runs where they went four and oh

211
00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:45,920
Speaker 2: and Eli Manning of course beat Brady and Belichick twice,

212
00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:48,959
Speaker 2: including the undefeated Patriots. But it's not like they lit

213
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:51,240
Speaker 2: the world on fire. They didn't score thirty points against

214
00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:53,280
Speaker 2: that team. Come on, that wasn't the offense. That was

215
00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:56,280
Speaker 2: one late drive by Eli clutch City. Eli's kind of

216
00:11:56,280 --> 00:12:00,200
Speaker 2: broken a lot of things because Russell Wilson has a

217
00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:02,520
Speaker 2: convincing Super Bowl win. Now, a lot of that was

218
00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:04,440
Speaker 2: the defense that was the New York Super Bowl. It's

219
00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:07,760
Speaker 2: like forty three to nine against Peyton Manning and then

220
00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:12,280
Speaker 2: Russell Wilson would have a second Super Bowl except for

221
00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:16,920
Speaker 2: that fateful goal line decision by Pete Carroll to be

222
00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:20,760
Speaker 2: clear to pass instead of run. The kid jumps the route,

223
00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:23,720
Speaker 2: gets the pick, and instead of two Super Bowls, Russell

224
00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:26,520
Speaker 2: Wilson has won. And I don't know, there's a large

225
00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:29,240
Speaker 2: swath of people who they thought Russell Wilson was never elite.

226
00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:30,679
Speaker 2: I don't know, guys.

231
00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:45,800
Speaker 2: McCarthy is in that Russell Wilson mole to me although

232
00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:48,280
Speaker 2: he was drafted way higher, and yeah he was. He

233
00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:52,000
Speaker 2: probably overdrafted, sure, But you know what, if you like

234
00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:55,360
Speaker 2: the quarterback, you should be fishing for a quarterback almost

235
00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:57,080
Speaker 2: every single year in the draft. I think it was

236
00:12:57,120 --> 00:13:00,040
Speaker 2: Albert Breer, who we had on here, who theorized that

237
00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:02,640
Speaker 2: that's the move every year, take a quarterback like you

238
00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:04,960
Speaker 2: just never know when you're going to strike gold. Remember

239
00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:08,920
Speaker 2: Niners had Trey Lance as their next man up, and

240
00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:11,520
Speaker 2: still they take brock Perty in the seventh round. Well,

241
00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:16,280
Speaker 2: Lance gets his chance, nothing Burger injured, Purdy comes on

242
00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:19,120
Speaker 2: and the rest is history. He got his chance and

243
00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:22,040
Speaker 2: he's hitting home runs. Now we'll see if Perdy can

244
00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:24,000
Speaker 2: eventually win the super Bowl, and then we'll see what

245
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:26,960
Speaker 2: happens with his contract. But he's the guy people don't

246
00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:28,800
Speaker 2: know what to do with, and that's why people are

247
00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:32,080
Speaker 2: so slow to want to give him credit and say

248
00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:33,880
Speaker 2: how good he is, because it's like, ah, he was

249
00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:37,520
Speaker 2: the last pick in the draft. I just don't sleep

250
00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:40,760
Speaker 2: on McCarthy. I'm fairly certain the Vikings are going to

251
00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:44,720
Speaker 2: be fine with Sam Darnald, and it would be really

252
00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:48,320
Speaker 2: nice if the Vikings made up run to the playoffs,

253
00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:51,360
Speaker 2: not just for my bank account, but also because I

254
00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:53,000
Speaker 2: think I think Donald's got something and it's not the

255
00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:56,560
Speaker 2: end of the world of McCarthy doesn't even play this year. Guys,

256
00:13:56,800 --> 00:13:58,640
Speaker 2: there's nothing wrong with it. I think it makes a

257
00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:00,840
Speaker 2: lot of sense for him. Actually, this is not that

258
00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:04,480
Speaker 2: big of a deal to meniscus injury. Now. Scrambling is

259
00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:07,840
Speaker 2: one of his big bonuses, and that's obviously not great

260
00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:11,760
Speaker 2: for it to be a meniscus situation. But that being said, dude,

261
00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:13,360
Speaker 2: you got plenty of time to heal up. You've got

262
00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:15,760
Speaker 2: some of the best doctors in rehab facility. You got

263
00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:19,480
Speaker 2: an amazing rehab facility. It's gonna be okay. You're twenty one.

264
00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:22,360
Speaker 2: You know who would love to be in JJ McCarthy

265
00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:25,640
Speaker 2: spot right now? Justin Fields, who continues to be a

266
00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:28,640
Speaker 2: turnover machine. I know it's the preseason. You know who'd

267
00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:30,840
Speaker 2: love to be in JJ McCarthy's spo right now. Trey Lance,

268
00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:34,720
Speaker 2: who had a billion passes in a preseason game, as

269
00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:37,360
Speaker 2: if the Cowboys were out there really trying to make

270
00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:40,800
Speaker 2: Trey Lance happen. Didn't look like it to me, But

271
00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:43,520
Speaker 2: it's just one preseason game. You know who would like

272
00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:46,000
Speaker 2: to be in JJ McCarthy's shoes right now, Zack Wilson.

273
00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:49,680
Speaker 2: Jack Wilson looked awesome for the Broncos. Trust me. Bo

274
00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:52,360
Speaker 2: Nix is probably almost certainly going to start Week one,

275
00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:54,320
Speaker 2: and if it's not him, I think it'll be stilling.

276
00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:57,760
Speaker 2: So it's just one of those weird situations where it

277
00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:00,560
Speaker 2: might seem like you're off to a clunky star. Obviously,

278
00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:03,840
Speaker 2: surgery on your knee after one preseason game not ideal,

279
00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:08,080
Speaker 2: but assuming he comes back healthy, I don't see why

280
00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:12,640
Speaker 2: McCarthy cannot have a thriving, promising career in the NFL.

281
00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:15,480
Speaker 2: I'm higher on him the market for sure. Let me

282
00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:18,560
Speaker 2: get to one other NFL story before I tackle Brandan.

283
00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:21,600
Speaker 2: I you for the ninety seventh time. So this CD

284
00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:26,560
Speaker 2: LAMB situation is part of me is almost thinking that

285
00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:28,920
Speaker 2: Jerry Jones is and I may have floated this on

286
00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:31,240
Speaker 2: the pod or it was the Herd. Jerry Jones is

287
00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:34,440
Speaker 2: essentially just saying, hey, man, I like how the Cowboys

288
00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:40,440
Speaker 2: are always in the news. That's fun, that's exciting. Let

289
00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:44,440
Speaker 2: me just drag this stuff out. McCarthy. He's won twelve

290
00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:48,600
Speaker 2: games each of the last three years. Eh, we're not

291
00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:51,320
Speaker 2: going to give h an extension. Meanwhile, look at my

292
00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:54,680
Speaker 2: Jets and Robert Sala, and we know he's on the

293
00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:56,160
Speaker 2: hot seat, and I think the odds are he's one

294
00:15:56,160 --> 00:15:58,680
Speaker 2: of the first coaches fired. But it's like, what has

295
00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:04,240
Speaker 2: Sala done to inspire confidence in any Jets fan, including me? Nothing?

296
00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:07,840
Speaker 2: And don't say, well, they got seven wins last year

297
00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:10,320
Speaker 2: with the worst quarterback situation in the league. Well was

298
00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:12,160
Speaker 2: that solid? Or the defense? And I know he's a

299
00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:15,760
Speaker 2: defensive coach, but the defense was super healthy. If there's

300
00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:18,560
Speaker 2: some aggression on the health side. If this, Hassan Reddick

301
00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:22,320
Speaker 2: then continues to snowball, I don't know what are the

302
00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:26,120
Speaker 2: Jets gonna do. It's just weird that Jerry Jones is

303
00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:30,280
Speaker 2: now screwing around with his coach McCarthy. He's jerking around

304
00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:34,600
Speaker 2: his quarterback Dak, and his star receiver, his best skill

305
00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:39,680
Speaker 2: position player by a country mile cd Laamb. He's doing

306
00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:41,960
Speaker 2: these dumb mind games with him. What are you trying

307
00:16:41,960 --> 00:16:44,080
Speaker 2: to accomplish? So part of me thinks it's just Jerry

308
00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:46,800
Speaker 2: being like, ha ha. Look, we got a ten billion

309
00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:50,720
Speaker 2: dollar evaluation, right, give us more headlines, please, Jason lead

310
00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:55,480
Speaker 2: your podcast, ESPN, Fox, CBS, NBC, please all talk about

311
00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:58,640
Speaker 2: us Dallas. Just keep us out there in the ether.

312
00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:02,200
Speaker 2: That's what he wants. And then a week before the season,

313
00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:06,639
Speaker 2: Dak signed, Lamb signed McCarthy. Probably probably won't get a

314
00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:09,719
Speaker 2: stay of execution after that Backers game, but Micah Parsons

315
00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:13,000
Speaker 2: then came out yesterday and said, oh yeah, Lam's gonna

316
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:14,680
Speaker 2: play in the opener. I mean, we all know that.

317
00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:18,280
Speaker 2: I'm almost man. I can't say it's too much certainty.

318
00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:22,199
Speaker 2: You don't ever act too cocksure, But in my eyes.

319
00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:25,280
Speaker 2: It just feels like one hundred percent that Lamb's gonna

320
00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:30,760
Speaker 2: play Hassan Reddick's gonna play Jamar Chase. Who's the latest one?

321
00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:34,920
Speaker 2: Is Jamar Chase now in Cincinnati. He didn't practice on Tuesday.

322
00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:37,640
Speaker 2: I was like, wait, what's happening? Jamar Chase is not practicing?

323
00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:41,879
Speaker 2: And I don't. I mean, maybe it's I just have

324
00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:44,879
Speaker 2: forgotten them. But it feels like a lot more noisy

325
00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:48,960
Speaker 2: contract stuff happening this year, maybe because some of that

326
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:54,200
Speaker 2: wide receiver market got so just bubblicious, if you will,

327
00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:59,159
Speaker 2: that everybody's all frothy about these receivers. And Chase is

328
00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:02,200
Speaker 2: waiting for his big Moe, and t Higgins is unhappy

329
00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:06,479
Speaker 2: about his and Tyreek Hil chirps up in Boom Presto

330
00:18:06,560 --> 00:18:10,639
Speaker 2: he gets a new deal. And I think when you

331
00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:14,080
Speaker 2: look at your financial advisor, and everybody meets with their

332
00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:16,679
Speaker 2: financial advisor, goes over their retirement plan and the four

333
00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:20,320
Speaker 2: oh one K and don't tell me everybody has this guys.

334
00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:22,600
Speaker 2: So you meet with your guy and you want to

335
00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:24,680
Speaker 2: make sure you're balanced. You're not like, oh, you're way

336
00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:27,400
Speaker 2: over extended in real estate and you're kind of deficient

337
00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:32,000
Speaker 2: on stocks, or you're too high on bonds, or you're

338
00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:35,000
Speaker 2: too all in on crypto, whatever it is. You want

339
00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:38,840
Speaker 2: balance and you want it to be spread out evenly.

340
00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:41,880
Speaker 2: So if one sector goes way down, you're not crippled

341
00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:45,479
Speaker 2: and destroyed. But if you do that and apply it

342
00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:50,359
Speaker 2: to NFL teams right now, folks like you look at

343
00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:53,879
Speaker 2: the Miami Dolphins. Where did they invest? Well, Waddle got paid,

344
00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:57,960
Speaker 2: Tyreek got paid to got paid. The defense I say

345
00:18:57,960 --> 00:19:00,040
Speaker 2: it's in shambles. Dolphins fans don't like to hear that

346
00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:03,280
Speaker 2: offensive line is in question. But guess what we got

347
00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:06,720
Speaker 2: speed at running back, right, we got speed a receiver,

348
00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:09,200
Speaker 2: we got Tua. We ain't gonna stop nobody, but we're

349
00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:12,879
Speaker 2: gonna put up some points until inclement weather in January,

350
00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:15,000
Speaker 2: of course, and then they won't score like usual. But

351
00:19:15,760 --> 00:19:19,600
Speaker 2: it seems like you need a healthy balance. And a

352
00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:24,480
Speaker 2: team like Dallas is extremely top heavy. And if you squint,

353
00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:28,080
Speaker 2: you can almost almost see the Rams from the year

354
00:19:28,119 --> 00:19:30,040
Speaker 2: they won the Super Bowl. Remember they were all in

355
00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:37,720
Speaker 2: with Stafford McVeigh, Aaron Donald, Cooper, Cup, Jalen Ramsey and

356
00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:39,439
Speaker 2: I and they went out and got Odell Beckham. But

357
00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:41,800
Speaker 2: they did not have depth what did they have? They

358
00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:45,639
Speaker 2: had amazing offensive line health. It all fell apart the

359
00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:48,159
Speaker 2: next year Stafford got hurt, offensive line banged up, and

360
00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:50,520
Speaker 2: the Rams cratered didn't miss the playoffs. And that's why

361
00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:52,399
Speaker 2: I wrote them off last year, which was dumb. Puka

362
00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:55,600
Speaker 2: de Coua shows up. Stafford's healthy offensive line rebuilt. So

363
00:19:56,640 --> 00:19:58,919
Speaker 2: if you look around like Cowboys too top heavy, but

364
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:03,280
Speaker 2: that worked for the Rams. Chiefs have really done a

365
00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:06,480
Speaker 2: tremendous job, assuming that they can get their wide receivers

366
00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:10,320
Speaker 2: to deliver. And then you look at elsewhere around the

367
00:20:10,359 --> 00:20:13,560
Speaker 2: league and it's like, is Cincinnati in that Miami situation

368
00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:17,439
Speaker 2: where they just too much invested in an offense? I

369
00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:19,240
Speaker 2: don't know the answer. I mean, we'll find out. I

370
00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:20,720
Speaker 2: like the Bengals. I think they got a shot out

371
00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:23,560
Speaker 2: to Super Bowl. But the NFL storyline starting to percolate

372
00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:26,840
Speaker 2: here as we get into week two of the preseason,

373
00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:30,400
Speaker 2: and we'll to wish JJ McCarthy a speedy recovery. Obviously

374
00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:34,480
Speaker 2: not great news at all. That being said, I think

375
00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:37,040
Speaker 2: they're fine with Sam Donald. All right, that's it for today.

376
00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:38,680
Speaker 2: Back tomorrow. Talk to you then,
