Speaker 1 (00:00):
Did you guys see the latest video surfacing online. There's
a lot of speculation here and it is very interesting
because why them? Why now? H J J McCarthy was
throwing passes to former Minnesota Vikings great future Ring of

(00:27):
Honor wide receiver born and raised in Minnesota, attended a
Division two program at man Cato Adam Flippin' feeling. And
not only was it reported that he was throwing passes,

(00:51):
but there is video evidence of the two hooking up, connecting,
running routes and delivering the ball to Adam them And
I mean, take.

Speaker 2 (01:06):
A look for yourself. Does that look planned? Does that

(01:34):
look staged? How does it not? Well? A couple of.

Speaker 1 (01:39):
Takeaways from this video. Jajon McCarthy obviously doesn't mispasses future
Hall of Fame quarterback crisp running to his left, throwing
to his right. How is he not quarterback?

Speaker 2 (02:00):
One? Oh yeah, that's right.

Speaker 1 (02:03):
It's just a bunch of highlights of these guys's best throws,
best catches, running routes. I don't understand why from their perspective,
why would you put a video out like this unless
you were trying to send a signal. Now I've understand

(02:24):
that there's people that have done this before, like Patrick
Mahomes throws to wide receivers. We've seen Tom Brady throw
to guys. So it's not like this is the first
time this has ever happened. But this seems a little different.
This seems a little more intentional. This seems to have
a little bit more flame and sizzle behind it, because

(02:48):
I get that players are home for the final time
before a long NFL season, before training camp, preseason, regular season.
Next time they can go home as the bye week,
which who knows when that is for the Carolina Panthers.

Speaker 2 (03:04):
But this seems like it was a little bit more.

Speaker 1 (03:09):
Than a text saying, hey, you want to meet up
and play. You got video coordinators, you got editors, you
got producers running this thing. So this seems a little
bit more intentional. This seems like, Okay, Adam Feeling and
Jaj McCarthy have a deep relationship and they are trying

(03:36):
to float out bat signals to the public saying it's
possible that we.

Speaker 2 (03:42):
Are gonna meet.

Speaker 1 (03:44):
And I keep on going back to the thought that
editors shared this isn't the first time it has happened,
But then I keep thinking that this just feels a
little different, like, why is JJ McCarthy throwing to Adam
Theelen of all people? Why is JJ McCarthy. I mean,

(04:05):
I guess he's at Egan grinding, grinding on the game tape,
grinding on the playbook, doing whatever he's doing, probably in
the facility every day, because that's just the kind of
football guy that he is. And I get why Adam
Thielen's in Minnesota before the training camp starts with the
Carolina Panthers, and he's even wearing his Carolina Panthers helmet,

(04:29):
probably to deflect some from people trying to start trade rumors.

Speaker 2 (04:35):
But why does it have to be Adam Thielen.

Speaker 1 (04:39):
Why couldn't it be a Jordan Addison or a Brandon
Powell or a Jalen Naylor who needs to step up
and potentially be a wide receiver three. Why can't it
be one of those guys. I understand why it's not JJ.
He's in Paris on the runway with Joe Burrow and

(05:01):
other guys for this shoot in Rome, So I mean,
I get why it's not him. He's doing business over there,
But why does it have to be Adam Thieling? I
just think that there's a little bit more to it
than two guys coming together throwing the ball randomly on

(05:23):
a random summer day. And that's just my gut feeling,
and that's just me reading the tea leaves too.

Speaker 2 (05:30):
I don't think it's just my gut feeling.

Speaker 1 (05:32):
I think there's a little bit more than meets the
eye when you really look at this situation between Jaj
McCarthy and Adam Feeling. Maybe I'm wrong. I've been wrong before.
I'm not gonna be offended if I'm wrong. It happens,
happens all of us if I'm wrong. Coming to the
