Hey, I caught the ball. Oh my god, he autographed it, Hey, Alex, thanks best to luck Don Sutton. So Don Sutton autographed the ball that they used in a baseball game. And he threw a pitch so easy for the guy to hit a home run, knowing that'll hit it right too, and he would get it and then see that Hey, I got the autograph on.

That's pretty good.

I don't know what you're watching that you've seen that in recent memory. I haven't seen that, but I always think about that, the fact that you remember that scene, because this is back like in the in the you know, in the late seventies early eighties, when when a when a star guest started a television show was a big deal.

In bro The secret option, see was Davy Jones was David Bowie's name before he changed his name to Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, So we could go all the way three card MONI deliver Colonel Sanders down to Davy Jones locker. Okay, so you know, there's a lot to get to in the NFL today. Coming up, we got a big story about a quarterback. But we have a big one right now. JJ McCarthy could be out a few weeks. He could be out for the season, diagnosed with a knee injury coming off of great debut.

Look, I give him credit. I didn't know how he was going to play early turnover, but came back with a couple of big.

I am not stuck up on JJ McCarthy, but he has a big first game. And now his status in question after test revealed he has a tear in the meniscus of his right knee. The final determination is going to be made once he undergoes surgery this week, So he could be out a few weeks or he could be out nine months. They won't know until they doctors won't know until they actually get in there.

Sometimes I've seen I've seen lots of house they have all kinds of magnetic resonance imaging and stuff they put people in, but it's like a truce machine. They would put people on the MRI machine and they would be able to tell if they're lying or not because they would look at scans of their brain.

All right, let me go think and walk around a little bit more. They go on my motorcycle. I'm gonna take some hallucin gigen sure, and then we're gonna get back at it. I'm gonna love cutting. I'm gonna not love cutting. I'm gonna fire my team. I'm gonna not fire my team, gonna hire them back. Say no, that's how it goes. Uh but uh yeah, no, I feel like we should know that by now.

Really don't know.

Really don't know.

Like this is such a weird story now, like I get in the in the eighties and ninety you're not gonna know. Well, of course you're not gonna know what you get in doctors. Got it now, It's like we can see everything. But it's like yesterday we talked a little bit about Jimmy or Gibz. Check out the podcast. It's up wherever you get Trodio. Still, as we come to to work here twenty four hours later, I still don't know anything any further. No, could be could be a you know, handstring injury that keeps him out. Two weeks we saw some unconfirmed reports of the worst that you could think of. JJ McCarthy, same thing. It's a wide variance at this point. But as far as the McCarthy part, we're not gonna know until he undergoes sert. Okay, fine, but this is my favorite part of the day. This is why I love Twitter. Right this time, they have to look Twitter's like the wild West. Sometimes I love Twitter, Sometimes I can't stand it. I love today that I love it because only on social media can Sam Darnald go from Okay, he's a guy obviously keeping the seat warm for JJ McCarthy.

This is what this is.

This is what this is.

I mean, this is what whatever truth you believe, Sam Donald was brought in. He's going to keep the seat warm. If McCarthy is healthy, probably by mid season, he's going to play. He's a first round pick. They invested a lot in him. Once he gets used to the NFL game, he's gonna play. Now, this injury puts everything out. You know, who knows what's gonna happen. But the deal with him, Sam Donald knows he's a placeholder. Sam Donald's a placeholder until McCarthy is ready. But then news breaks that McCarthy is out, could be out a while. And I see so many people people with blue check marks, Mike Carmen and experts are better than me, who now are suddenly showing all of Sam Donald's best throws. And there's a Sam Donald's now a top fifteen option in fantasy football at quarterback. And I'm going, wait a minute, Sam Donald was a guy keeping a seat warm. But now that JJ McCarthy's out, Sam Donald's a top fifteen option in what world.

But now that JJ McCarthy's out, Sam Donald's a top fifteen option in what world.

Does that make sense?

Does that make sense?

First of all, if the Vikings thought if he would, if Sam Donald's really a top fifteen option in football, the Vikings aren't signing, aren't drafting JJ McCarthy, right, if he's that good. But he was brought in as a seat filler. But suddenly he goes, hey, I don't know how long he's gonna have the job. Now he's a top fifteen fantasy option. Why wouldn't he be a top fifteen fantasy option before, because if he's really good in the top half of the league, he'll keep the job, right, I mean, if he's that good order back, he'll keep the job. But now that JJ McCarthy's not coming in, now he's the top fifteen.

Here's theme on man.

Here's theme on man.

The former would have taken guts to say, would have taken some guts to say, Hey, Sam Darnold will hold off the job.

The former would have taken guts to say, would have taken some guts to say, Hey, Sam Darnold will hold off the job.

He's good enough.

He's good enough.

He's got Jefferson, he's got Addison, he's got Hockinson, he you know, he's got all these guys that he's gonna be able to throw to. You bring in Aaron Jones. The offense is set, he's gonna be able to make some magic. That would have been the guts he way to go. The other would have been to go logically. He's only got the job for six weeks so and sometimes being logical is being okay, No, but all of a sudden, just because a guy now he's a top This is not a wide receiver where a number one guy gets hurt and suddenly there's one hundred and thirty targets up and everybody moves up. This is a guy who was brought in to be replaced, and nothing is. That's what I mean, though, like to set to Joe and put him in the top fifteen, I may have would have taken some guts to say it.

He's gonna study.

He's gonna study.

You think suddenly he's gonna be He wasn't gonna be good before, but now because the guy behind him got hurt, now he's great.

You think suddenly he's gonna be He wasn't gonna be good before, but now because the guy behind him got hurt, now he's great.

Well, he's not gonna get displaced.

Well, he's not gonna get displaced.

So Jefferson and Addison and Hacketson and you like, you got all the weapons, right, so go through their stats. If JJ McCarthy's not there to come and take his job, all of a sudden, all of those go to Sam. I'm not saying it's good logic. I'm just explaining where they're getting this in. Let me, let me, let me, let me, let me just flip this and I'll tell you where I went in this. Okay, there's only one problem with Sam Darnald. Oh, okay, there's only one problem.

I think I know what it is. Okay, and that's it.

There's only one problem with Sam Donald, really, only one problem with this philosophy. He's going to be a top There's only one that Plunger wouldn't take us off the air. I'd say I'd hit the plunger like it's a game show, because I know, like Antonio Mandarison, dealer, no deal, no deal. No, you don't hit the button when you do that. No, it's so exciting. I don't know what I'm doing. There's only one problem with Sam Donald. And then then, really, you just explain it to me, only one problem. Explain it to me like I'm a five case, so next year I'll be six. Yes, and your parents will tell you there's only one problem with Sam Darnald. Yeah, and that's it. And you want me to tell you a penny piece paper? Yeah, take it down these nuts I've done. Okay, one problemise Sam Donald.

There's only one problem with Sam Donald, really, only one problem with this philosophy. He's going to be a top There's only one that Plunger wouldn't take us off the air.

I don't know what I'm doing. There's only one problem with Sam Donald. And then then, really, you just explain it to me, only one problem. Explain it to me like I'm a five case, so next year I'll be six. Yes, and your parents will tell you there's only one problem with Sam Darnald. Yeah, and that's it. And you want me to tell you a penny piece paper? Yeah, take it down these nuts I've done. Okay, one problemise Sam Donald.

He stinks?

He stinks?

How many exclamation points for on capitol? Yes, okay, he stinks. I've watched him play. Yes, there is always the chance of he could Gino Smith his way. Look, but I've seen him play in numerous offense. How long does it take to get the stench of the Jets seen him beget? Well, say, clearly it's three teams in counting. Now, Okay, Sam Darnald is not any good. The guy's been in the league since twenty eighteen. I get that you think you put great weapons around a guy, think suddenly he's gonna be great. But come on, man, I've watched him for his career, not nowhere to go with the football now. I don't know that he knows what he sees when he looks downfield. He misses open guys, he doesn't hit his progressions. Yes, he had a couple of nice passes in the first preseason game. I've seen him throw some nice pass I'm not saying the guy is an EPT. I've seen him throw a couple of nice passes. But he throws a couple of passes. And I saw one post today. No one ever throws a dig route like Sam Donald did on this play. I'm like, okay, so one play when he throws a dig route really well, that covers up the last six years where he was given the keys to the Jets, couldn't keep them, was given the keys of the Panthers, couldn't keep them, and now he's on another team where now he's lucky that he's actually starting. He may have backed his way into his starting job for a little bit longer. Sam Donald stinks. Okay, I've seen it from him. Yes, sometimes it happens and Gino Smith can find his way into a magical year. But I've seen this. I've seen this too much. There's a lot of tape on Sam Donald just from the last couple of years. Gino Smith at least went a decade between tape. What kind of quarterback is he?

I don't know.

I don't know.

Guy hasn't played in ten years. All right, Sam Donald stinks And just the elevation because somebody gets hurt is ridiculous, because if he wasn't good enough before, he doesn't suddenly get good enough because the guy behind him got hurt. I don't understand, you know, I mean, this is Sam Sam, Sam, Sam, Sam, Your head's gonna aches. I'm just saying when I'm when I'm seeing you like this is physically And look if maybe if he wasn't an ex jet, it wouldn't be as big of.

JJ McCarthy is great, He's the second company. He might be out a while. Sam Donald is one of the best watch to watch what happens to Sam now? Because look at this one throw he made notice. Nobody ever puts up the Hey, here's the fifteen. But again, the guy that goes to the point is easy to throw the one good throw, not the fifteen bad ones. But you you can't do the content saying just flat out, hey, Sam Donald stinks.

If all those teams supposed to be good, that means the Vikings will not be. It's math.

As actually done. John Wesley Harding, singer most famous for When the Beatles in America. Okay, Prince Wesley from Princess Bride. Sorry spoiler alert, and I'm out of West Glenn Wes Wesley Snipes, sure, sure, Gallo Walker only Blade Glenn Wesley former defenseman for the Bruins and Hartford Whalers. Wesley Wesley. Now I'm out of Wesley's. I don't want to cut it to West because it's not technically Wesley. Oh no. So this was a great quote today, and this just illustrates who the best quarterback in the NFC is going to be this year. By the end by the end of the year, we're going to say best quarterback in the NFC, and it's going to be widely accepted that that answer to that question is Jordan Love.

Yes.

The AFC is a much different conference just loaded up with incredible quarterbacks. The NFC is more like, well, we're propping up Dak in the top three. But think about what head coach Mike Lafleura said earlier today to the media about who the number one receiver of the Packers is, Okay, and what Matt Lafleur says is going to get into just how good Jordan Love is, and it's something that people don't understand at Packers camp. Apparently Matt Lafleur is getting a lot of questions who's the number one receiver because they have a lot of guys there right whether it's Jade Reed or Romeo Dubbs or Dantavian Wix was really good last year, Christian Watson, who is it? And Mike Matt Lafleur see Mike Lafleur bad, Lafleur brother, the guy that coached the Jets beat Matt Lafleur. Good, I gotta go, Matt good. Mike Peter, Oh, that's easy to go, Matt good. Mike bed for me. I can't remember that. Mike bad.

I want to vomit every time I hear number one receiver. To be honest with you, me crazy. That's something that you guys talk about. I feel like we got a bunch of them, so I think the beauty of them is they're all capable of doing many things, which gives us a lot of versatility from an offensive perspective in terms of how we use these guys and deploy their talents.

You get questions like that. The real people ask that queste every day.

I got to know who the number Really, I don't think people ask that all the time.

I got to know who the number Really, I don't think people ask that all the time.

Who's the number?

Who's the number?

We got to know who the number one receivers? And no, it's not like it's a quarterback competition. It's like who's the number one receiver. Okay, I could figure that out for myself, but I also don't really need to know that because if I think the guy's a number one, he's a number two. Guess what, he's still on the field. They're not going to run. Not running an offense where I want the one loan end is at the end. This is not Army in the nineteen forties, where if we throw one pass every six weeks it's a lot. This is also a very good tactical move from La Floor for the Packers in terms of managing expectation as well as well, let's face it, the financials of it, because the ball is gonna get spread around. You've got three or four guys that could and we've had this discussion again owing to the offline fantasy football talk throw order. We'll get some fantasy content in here over the next couple of weeks to get you ready for your drafts heading into all of that big happy season. But part of it is if the ball's spread around, and say you got four guys, I don't know, for giggles, they've got eighty targets each.

Guess what, you don't have.

Guess what, you don't have.

To pay any of them like a number one so Matt Lafleur is being smart and diplomatic about it too. It's like, look, we got guys that can make plays and Watson coming back off injury. Whatever you get out of him, red zone specialist at times, whatever, It's all fine and good, but you tamp it down because right now you've got a team that's young and they're together. The last thing you want to do is, well, here's how i'd order them.

Let's do it. Let's do it for like I got a whiteboard.

Let's do it. Let's do it for like I got a whiteboard.

Now, let's go one survivor Packers wide receivers and just crossing guys Wicks number one. This is this is not about these guys. This is what I mean when I say, understand the end of the year, we're gonna talk about Jordan Love being the best quarterback in the NFC because you go through the guys and their compliments. Right, Jayden Reid was the leading receiver for the Packers. I thought you were going to go through all the guys in the NFC and just pick them off one by one. Now, look, Jayden Reid, you're left with Jordan Love versus Caleb Williams, modoy model. Let's go, Hey, kiddy, they wind up Be, although we were were closer to the Brocolipse with Brock Perdy getting paid. But you have Jayden Reid, right, who had a pretty decent year last year. Was it not an unbelievable year? Be caught sixty four passes for like eight hundred yards? Right, he had eight touchdowns, same as Romeo Dubs. Right, Romeo Dubs a guy coming the last couple of years.

Now, let's go one survivor Packers wide receivers and just crossing guys Wicks number one. This is this is not about these guys.

Okay.

Okay.

Christian Watson led the team in yards per catch fifteen.

Christian Watson led the team in yards per catch fifteen.

Right.

Right.

Dontavian Wicks, who was a rookie, came on at the end of the year. He was a big guy to get, especially in fantasy. A lot of people picked up the end of the year average just under fifteen yards of Carrie scored four touchdowns. Oh, by the way, none of them. Was the first Pas to have a hundred yard game. That was Bo Melton in the next to last game of the season. He gets elevated off the practice squad and has a hundred yard game. Did you just want to get bow in because bo'son?

A lot of people picked up the end of the year average just under fifteen yards of Carrie scored four touchdowns. Oh, by the way, none of them. Was the first Pas to have a hundred yard game. That was Bo Melton in the next to last game of the season. He gets elevated off the practice squad and has a hundred yard game. Did you just want to get bow in because bo'son?

Yeah, Bo, Bo Benson. It's different Bo though, Bo is b e a U. Bo Melton is.

Yeah, Bo, Bo Benson. It's different Bo though, Bo is b e a U. Bo Melton is.

B oh yeah, but he's he's tall and can get after it. He's got reach on you. Well, he's got well Bo Benson. That that name kind of rolls off the tongue. It like someone who won, like Bo Bice, who won American Idol, like Bo Benson, Like Bo Benson, Bo Benson, Look Benson, people of history less bust Bo Bison, Bo Benson, Bo Benson, Bo Bice. But if you said that really fast, now you've got people thinking about Bisons Bovice, Bo Bye b Bye b Bye Benson, Bo Bo Bye Benson Benson. I'm gonna stab you with this pag bo Wow, you got Bo. You really can't go anywhere more than that. Think about this for a second. All right, watching Jordan Love play last year, it didn't matter who he played with, right, and the Melton thing is is the one that should stand out. Here's a guy elevated on game day from the practice squad one hundred yard game. Nobody has four or five wide receivers that are this talented. They just don't. Nobody has four or five. Did you get a couple of guys talented? Yeah, you have a talented wide receiver room. Yeah, Sam Tarnold in the Minnesota. But but he's got two guys, right, he's got He's got two guys, right, he's got that wide receivers. Yes, the tight end is good as well, but these are four five wide receivers. Now just five receivers. They're not all this great. I guarantee you if you took some of them off this team put them on another team, they would struggle to catch forty passes. Jordan Love is able to use all five of these players and have the season he had, throwing for four thousand yards, leading them into the playoffs with a perfect passer rating in the in the first game against the Cowboys. Jordan Love is someone who elevates the players around him. That's how good he is. Great quarterbacks, hey, put up numbers and win games. They have great players around you, but the great quarterbacks to it when you have guys that I don't even know who this is unless I am a pretty die hard fantasy player and I'm trying to trade for Jayden Reed in a couple of leagues. People don't know Dontavian Wicks. Who are these guys? But this is this is who Jordan Love got it done with, and it's time to understand and give credit that. Wow, that's really something. If Aaron Rodgers does it this year, it's gonna be a look at Garrett Wilson right side, Mike Williams and now Bresee Hall is so good, Josh Allen, oh Man, Dalton k and Kate has taken a step up key on Colemins Gret, but look at the guys that he has. None of these players are are are players that if they were suddenly available, teams in the NFL would say, we got to go give this guy thirty million dollars a year. None of them are. None of them are so understand that when these guys, when they can win and you can spread the ball around. This is Jordan Love who is able to make his progressions and find the right guy to throw the football to. Because sometimes it's Bou Melton, sometimes it's Christian Watson. Sometimes Christian Watson's not in the lineup, doesn't matter. Christian Watson plays, he doesn't play. He missed a lot of games last year. When he plays, he catches. When he does it, it doesn't matter. Don Tavian Wicks not in the beginning of the year. End of the season, yes, he catches passes. Probably read was the most consistent, but it didn't matter who was in the lineup. It didn't matter where you were. It didn't matter if you were a guy that hadn't played all season. So the next last game of the year, I got a one hundred yards. I'm the first receiver with one hundred yards. So this tells you all through the year, it wasn't like, hey, this guy's killing this defense. It's some time we got to keep going to Jade and Reid. He's not going to catch nine passes for one hundred and fifty five yards. This is Jordan Love elevating too. Is nothing that can put it on display more than just look at these wide receivers and may make Mike La Matt lafour wan to vomit, but in the end he's got to understand, boy, we got the right quarterback, and boy, look at what he does with a bunch of guys that have some talent. It also showing on you know, you have to deal with the fact that you had the lesser laflor even more so.

B oh yeah, but he's he's tall and can get after it. He's got reach on you. Well, he's got well Bo Benson. That that name kind of rolls off the tongue. It like someone who won, like Bo Bice, who won American Idol, like Bo Benson, Like Bo Benson, Bo Benson, Look Benson, people of history less bust Bo Bison, Bo Benson, Bo Benson, Bo Bice.

Here's a guy elevated on game day from the practice squad one hundred yard game. Nobody has four or five wide receivers that are this talented. They just don't. Nobody has four or five. Did you get a couple of guys talented? Yeah, you have a talented wide receiver room. Yeah, Sam Tarnold in the Minnesota. But but he's got two guys, right, he's got He's got two guys, right, he's got that wide receivers. Yes, the tight end is good as well, but these are four five wide receivers. Now just five receivers. They're not all this great. I guarantee you if you took some of them off this team put them on another team, they would struggle to catch forty passes. Jordan Love is able to use all five of these players and have the season he had, throwing for four thousand yards, leading them into the playoffs with a perfect passer rating in the in the first game against the Cowboys. Jordan Love is someone who elevates the players around him. That's how good he is. Great quarterbacks, hey, put up numbers and win games. They have great players around you, but the great quarterbacks to it when you have guys that I don't even know who this is unless I am a pretty die hard fantasy player and I'm trying to trade for Jayden Reed in a couple of leagues. People don't know Dontavian Wicks. Who are these guys? But this is this is who Jordan Love got it done with, and it's time to understand and give credit that. Wow, that's really something. If Aaron Rodgers does it this year, it's gonna be a look at Garrett Wilson right side, Mike Williams and now Bresee Hall is so good, Josh Allen, oh Man, Dalton k and Kate has taken a step up key on Colemins Gret, but look at the guys that he has. None of these players are are are players that if they were suddenly available, teams in the NFL would say, we got to go give this guy thirty million dollars a year. None of them are. None of them are so understand that when these guys, when they can win and you can spread the ball around. This is Jordan Love who is able to make his progressions and find the right guy to throw the football to. Because sometimes it's Bou Melton, sometimes it's Christian Watson. Sometimes Christian Watson's not in the lineup, doesn't matter. Christian Watson plays, he doesn't play. He missed a lot of games last year. When he plays, he catches. When he does it, it doesn't matter. Don Tavian Wicks not in the beginning of the year. End of the season, yes, he catches passes. Probably read was the most consistent, but it didn't matter who was in the lineup. It didn't matter where you were. It didn't matter if you were a guy that hadn't played all season. So the next last game of the year, I got a one hundred yards. I'm the first receiver with one hundred yards. So this tells you all through the year, it wasn't like, hey, this guy's killing this defense. It's some time we got to keep going to Jade and Reid. He's not going to catch nine passes for one hundred and fifty five yards. This is Jordan Love elevating too. Is nothing that can put it on display more than just look at these wide receivers and may make Mike La Matt lafour wan to vomit, but in the end he's got to understand, boy, we got the right quarterback, and boy, look at what he does with a bunch of guys that have some talent. It also showing on you know, you have to deal with the fact that you had the lesser laflor even more so.

Yeah, because a lot of this is based on scheme.

Yeah, because a lot of this is based on scheme.

Because I'm big, I'm big on I don't care about nepotism. I understand that I'm good, But it just did work for the Jets. Yeah, no, I mean like you took a shot, but with this squad, spread the ball around and look, I want to keep playing back the Jordan love takes I had when they took him, uh, and everybody was mad and feeling bad for Aaron Rodgers. Then six months later they all hated him, miss public Enemy number one.

Fast that turn and then he won two MVPs.

Fast that turn and then he won two MVPs.

Yeah, so I think the whole the whole quarterback thing has worked out. Okay, you had a guy that was in the house that whether he learned from Aaron directly or not, the line keeps moving, much to my chagrin.

As Chicago kid.

As Chicago kid.

But you look at being able to spread the ball around get to the second half of the season was fantastic and obviously the master class against that you know, vaunted Dallas defense where Micah Parsons was rendered invisible. You might as well have had Harry Potter's cloak on because we didn't call his name or see him at all during that game as they went up and down the field. So now you're in the big time, right, the expectations are huge that you take another massive step forward and at your offense runs rough shot and I think Laflora, like I said, did a really good job with this of we got a bunch of guys. They're good and that's where we're gonna leave it, because if we start elevating anybody, the unsaid part, if we start elevating anybody, then it maybe creates dissent. You start having guys that feel like they need to get fed more, and certainly they need to get paid more. And that's one of the best things they've got. Every last one of these guys is working dirt cheap NFL wise, as well as their quarterback exit out about a Fresco exit swalling down The Jason Smith Show with Mike Carmon live from the tirec dot Com Studios by the end of this year, Hey, who's the best quarterback in the NFC?

He's gotta I say, yeah, you know how I always say Mark Wahlberg like his great actress supposedly is. He's been in la for now thirty five year, has been holly with thirty five years, still does everything with the Boston. I actually saw a trailer for a move went to see trap. Like I told you, don't go see trap. I know it's a trap getting you in the theater to see the movie. He plays a movie he plays, but he has like a Southern accent or something. Really, and I'm like, WHOA was watching Derek Carr brand Prossers. Now he's some sort of pilot and he's bald, and he and and there's some sort of crazy thing happening, like either either there's espionage that that he's involved in, or he's the hero or he's the bad guy. I can't really tell, but he's got to, don't That's what it is. Meanwhile, what I am hoping for is the ending to a story that we first began telling you three weeks ago.

Well, we we previewed it a long time ago.

Well, we we previewed it a long time ago.

I told you after the draft the Niners were trading Brandon Ayuk, Right, it was happening, right, and then three weeks it was all, look at this, we had the trade in place with the Browns or the Patriots, and now that's not happening. According to NFL Networks Ian rappaport, just like they were the ink was dry on the deal to the Browns or the Patriots, they were waiting for Ayuk to decide what trade you wanted. Ian Rapp were reporting it. Oh no, no, no dealers in place with the Steelers. That is just waiting for the final sign off. So Brandon Ayuk to the steel which is where it's been bandied about for so long, and where I give you a lot of credit because when this came out two weeks ago, we're three weeks ago when it was hey, the Browns or the Patriots who said, don't count the Steelers out, don't count the Steelers out, And now apparently the Steelers are the team we're just waiting to side. Why is no one signing off if these things are all that? Why what's happening?
