chance to jump back in. And here we are Thursday
Night Football, another snoozer, six to three, thirteen minutes to
go in the half of the Bull of the Bulls.

(01:11):
The Buffalo Bills up six to three over the Texas.

Speaker 2 (01:16):
No CJ. Stroud in this one, missing his third straight game.

Speaker 3 (01:21):
Yeah, I mean, once you knew the Texans were in it,
there was a chance for it to be a snoozers because
they're a good team defensively that keep themselves in games.

Speaker 4 (01:27):
Can't squad Just yeah, their games aren't the most exciting.

Speaker 3 (01:30):
I mean, they had a couple of decent ones, but
thank for God for their defense.

Speaker 1 (01:34):
Again, that's when we knew the Ravens were really bad
on that deep Remember they scored forty that.

Speaker 3 (01:39):
The Ravens looked like that you mentioned the buffalo bills
of Volte or something.

Speaker 4 (01:42):
They I'm like, what in the.

Speaker 1 (01:44):
World that was crazy to me because they had struggled
mightily to try to score. But I do remember that
they got a ton of points against the Ravens. Yep, Kelvin,
let's let's go to the Minnesota the story.

Speaker 3 (02:01):
Yeah, well, there's just you know, JJ McCarthy obviously has
not had a great season.

Speaker 4 (02:07):
When you kind of jump into the numbers.

Speaker 1 (02:09):
You know what, when I hear that, I'm like, he
saved your season beating the Lions in Detroit.

Speaker 2 (02:15):
That was a huge game from Minnesota.

Speaker 4 (02:17):
But go but Rock we said, I said season.

Speaker 1 (02:19):
I didn't say they have a good game, no, but
I'm just saying that, Like he's only playing He's only
started like five games in his career.

Speaker 4 (02:26):
And he's been bad when that's the problem when you
look at it.

Speaker 3 (02:28):
So but the drama, let me say it, the drama
for you ka drama k because uh, Chris Carter, one
of the all time great Minisu the Vikings, he he
was called a clown. McCarthy's trainer called him a clown
for criticizing JJ. So essentially, had Chris Carter, uh, somebody
was saying Aucho was saying that he was playing well,
and then he said did you watch he being Chris Carter, did.

Speaker 4 (02:50):
You watch the first fifty nine minutes of the game.

Speaker 3 (02:52):
And then he put a little thumbs down e mooji
And so Greg Holcombe, who is the longtime trainer who's
worked with McCarthy, he replied by calling him a blanking clown.
So then he later of course deleted the pos apologized
and you know, did the whole thing that was unprofessional, disrespectful.
But when you start to the conversation becomes there's some
some thought process or just saying some NFL insiders have

(03:14):
gotten to the point where Mike Florio's claiming a team
could look to bring in Matt Jones, who mac Jones
to compete for QB one next off season, and the
Dianas reciding of the athletics wondering ot loud whether McCarthy
will even be on the roster next season. Boyd, things
have escalated quickly and to your point, my gosh, he

(03:35):
hasn't looked great, but dagging, it's been a you know,
half a season for him.

Speaker 4 (03:40):
I'll throw out the numbers then you can go ahead.

Speaker 5 (03:41):
Rob.

Speaker 3 (03:41):
The numbers are he's completed only fifty three percent of
his passes lowess among the forty eight quarterbacks who have
made at least one start this season. His off target
rate is twenty two point one percent, which ranks the
forty seven, and his eight total touchdowns, nine turnovers and
a sixty one point seven passer rating base everybody's has
him at the bottom of every metric in the league.

Speaker 1 (04:03):
Alright, I just for five starts in his career, is
that where we are? Like, it's just totally with It's
just not enough of a sample size. He's been hurt
twice already twice. He has to get under his under
his feet. I just don't even understand this.

Speaker 2 (04:21):
I don't.

Speaker 1 (04:21):
I just think people they say this about every quarterback.
One quarterback is not winning, they want him out. One
quarterback is winning every week, they want him out. Another
quarterback is on his third team in three years and
he's the next coming of the Messiah, and they make
excuses for that quarter I don't even get it anymore.

(04:41):
I thought that Minnesota could could transform any quarterback into
into a decent quarterback and play the system.

Speaker 2 (04:50):
That's what I thought. It was right? That is that?
Does that out the window? Now? I just five games?
Is that all you get? So when Shador.

Speaker 1 (04:59):
Loses on Saturday on Sunday to the Raiders, he should
be done right like like you should be done.

Speaker 4 (05:07):
I think this is weird. I'm gonna tell you why
this is weird for me, Rob.

Speaker 3 (05:13):
It's weird because this is the guy you thought so
highly of. You went up to get him for the
tenth pick. He wasn't a guy that was projected to
be that high. You went out of your way to
get him. You had him as a projected starter. He
gets injured, Sam Donald goes in all of a sudden,
ends up having a great season. You elect to not
resigned to him, which was the right move, which was
the wrong move.

Speaker 4 (05:33):
He wouldn't be having this we wouldn't be sitting in
this conversation, Sam.

Speaker 2 (05:35):
Donald could be bad, could be bad too.

Speaker 1 (05:38):
No, he went away and balling out in Seattle. No,
but that doesn't mean he would have been balling out
this year. Why would he regress with the team all
the time? He would gressed in the postseason. He wougressed
at the end of the Yeah.

Speaker 4 (05:49):
He had a bad guy. Disagree, there's no there's no facts.

Speaker 1 (05:52):
So so he played grade doesn't mean you played greade
throughout the entire season.

Speaker 2 (05:56):
He played game A bad game means all.

Speaker 1 (06:03):
When that King came back, he went to Detroit where
who had owned the Vikings, and beat and beat the
Lions in Detroit and played pretty well in that.

Speaker 3 (06:13):
I was a bad loss Lions, Okay, But but so
here And that's what I'm agreeing in that this can't
be the guy you thought so highly highly of. That's
why I was setting up that you went to get
him at ten. You didn't sign san Donal, and he
goes out there and he competes and he's not playing well.

Speaker 4 (06:28):
But now you're like, oh, well, we might go elsewhere,
like you.

Speaker 3 (06:31):
Thought that highly of him, Give him a full year,
give him another season and I've I've as born and
raising at Arbor was baffled. You heard me saying for
months that I didn't see that type of quarterback in him.

Speaker 4 (06:44):
He it was a product of Jim Harbaugh's running his defense.

Speaker 2 (06:47):
And say that that was his style.

Speaker 3 (06:51):
And not that he didn't not that he didn't have
a place in the league. But I was shocked that
they went and got him at tenth. That's why a
lot of people Martin Wise who went to Michigan kind
of like, wait, whoa, Okay, we're.

Speaker 1 (07:00):
What but there's all kinds of other stuff and intel
and whatnot and what kind of guy.

Speaker 3 (07:05):
But that's what makes this conversation weird. That's why they
would want to possibly, you know, look at I don't.

Speaker 2 (07:10):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (07:10):
I don't know if it's if it's hearsay or that's
really coming from the people upstairs, you know, like like
you just don't know because we throw stuff out all
the time, and this makes no sense to me. The
guy just has he hasn't played enough. He had sample
sized as small, and that was my.

Speaker 4 (07:28):
Thing about him.

Speaker 3 (07:29):
Even in college, he didn't play a lot like he
wasn't He got finally a senior year to be or
not his senior.

Speaker 4 (07:34):
I think junior senior.

Speaker 3 (07:35):
But he got to that last year to be the
guy like, all right, it's your team. And yes they
won a national championship, but he didn't do much, which
was why I was always baffled by that.

Speaker 2 (07:43):
But I do think what he wanted him to do.

Speaker 3 (07:47):
Yeah, I'm not mad at No, I'm not mad at
his Michigan career. Right I met.

Speaker 1 (07:53):
It wasn't like they needed him to he couldn't do
it fine. That was Jim Harball one of them.

Speaker 3 (08:00):
He did that all the time with with his quarterbacks
a lot. So I wasn't he was perfectly fine for
that system. I was just shocked they went up and
got him that high. And now it makes you wonder,
is it Kevin O'Connell who normally can revise, vitalize, So.

Speaker 2 (08:15):
Guy can quarterback whisper?

Speaker 4 (08:17):
Is what I was told?

Speaker 3 (08:18):
Yeah, So is he off his rocker right now? Is
he a little off his game? Or is JJ just
not the guy right now? Because I ain't gonna lie.
Fifty two point nine percent of his passes is atrocious
rock a game.

Speaker 4 (08:32):
I'll give you that. That happens everybody. Patrick Mahomes lamar
anybody two games? All right?

Speaker 3 (08:37):
They are for five games fifty two point nine percent
with those types of weapons, rock that and that defense,
meaning you're gonna get more cracks at it.

Speaker 4 (08:47):
That is terrible. That is that is really really, really bad.

Speaker 3 (08:51):
And then to be off target at twenty two percent
of your passes has you forty seventh, meaning forty six
other guys are higher and better at that than you.
That's bad. Six touchdowns, eight interceptions. So he's in the
struggle bus. But they can't act like this isn't the
guy that they brought in and believed in and didn't
get Sam Donald for it and let some other people

(09:12):
go to They could have had all what's your boy,
Daniel Jones?

Speaker 4 (09:16):
He was over there, you know what I mean?

Speaker 3 (09:18):
They had options, and this is who you elected to
go in and row with.

Speaker 2 (09:23):
They could have They could have had Justin Fields.

Speaker 4 (09:26):
Well, we might have been having the same conversation right now.
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (09:29):
They could still have Justin Fields. He's available. He's been benched,
you see.

Speaker 3 (09:34):
He will yeah, he will be after probably after this season.
But so you're you're still in with JJ McCarthy.

Speaker 2 (09:40):
I just haven't seen enough for me to make a change.
He was heard.

Speaker 1 (09:45):
I saw him come back from that injury. I saw
him go to Detroit and win that game that at
that point had saved this season.

Speaker 2 (09:52):
I get it.

Speaker 1 (09:52):
He had a stinker this past week. So whenever it well,
you know, it depends on what week. I don't think
that though. You think that was a conversation after they
beat the Lions in Detroit, like like, we we can't
win with that guy, or we need to look for
somebody out.

Speaker 4 (10:06):
I think I think the problem is I'm.

Speaker 2 (10:08):
Just saying, like I doubt that that was the conversation.

Speaker 3 (10:11):
No, I'm but I'm saying I think the issue with
him is remember that fourth quarter Game one. He looked
awful those first two quarters, star quarters, terrible, and then
he goes crazy in the fourth to follow that up
and only score six points. And then obviously there's some
injuries and you know, but for him, uh, that was
a great way in versus the Lions. But then you

(10:32):
lose to Baltimore, which is Baltimore's Lamar.

Speaker 4 (10:35):
But it's just how.

Speaker 3 (10:36):
Bad he hasn't looked great at all. And I think
that's the challenge. And by now I think there's an
expectation of you should be making.

Speaker 2 (10:42):
Progress after five starts. I just.

Speaker 3 (10:46):
I bet you should do it. It's not that bad
if getting a full week.

Speaker 2 (10:51):
But that conversation should have happened after they beat the Lions.

Speaker 4 (10:55):
What conversation you're saying.

Speaker 2 (10:56):
Not that that he's no good or we need to
make a chance.

Speaker 1 (10:58):
I just don't like he goes week to week after
they beat the Lions.

Speaker 4 (11:02):
By the way, by the way, he wasn't that great
versus the Lions.

Speaker 3 (11:05):
By the way, He's fourteen to twenty five, fifty six
percent completion percent, one hundred and forty three yards, a
couple of touchdown one in exception.

Speaker 4 (11:11):
Like it wasn't he wasn't the world beater.

Speaker 1 (11:13):
Yeah, but he still got it done. He got two
touchdowns against the Lions to beat them.

Speaker 2 (11:17):
Yeah he was.

Speaker 1 (11:18):
I remember he made a big third down play that
kept that gave them.

Speaker 2 (11:24):
Was that that's the game you saw the.

Speaker 4 (11:26):
Game he did. He fumbled, he he got sacked five times.

Speaker 3 (11:29):
I mean, he wasn't great, rob like they got the win,
but he he made what.

Speaker 1 (11:34):
He had two touchdowns and he had the big throw
that was the difference in the game. That's all I'm
saying he doesn't have to be a Picasso every week.

Speaker 2 (11:44):
Nobody knows. Can I get a Picasso? Can you get
me one? He's only get a Bob Ross.

Speaker 4 (11:49):
He's not Ross.

Speaker 3 (11:50):
You know he started five games? Can I can I get?
Can I get some accidental tree? He's a beautiful clouds?
Can I get some of those dumbest thing of it?
I told y'all, I told you last season. I told
you this. I just what you told.

Speaker 2 (12:04):
Me Justin Fields was a good quarterback?

Speaker 4 (12:06):
No, I did not. You did. What I said was
stick with him and.

Speaker 3 (12:11):
Me.

Speaker 4 (12:11):
Right. You said, you're a journalist. You told me right, you.

Speaker 2 (12:14):
Said, Oh, he won over the he won over the team.
He did not.

Speaker 6 (12:19):
He did.

Speaker 4 (12:21):
What do you want from me to man?

Speaker 2 (12:24):
He ain't win over no team you want for me?

Speaker 1 (12:27):
Come on, man, Jay eight seven seven ninety nine, Sam,
I told you that too, the six sixty three sixty nine.
Tell me you also told me Listen was gonna beat Washington?
Didn't you tell me that? What should what should the
Vikings do with JJ McCarthy? Does he deserve to be
the unquestioned starter again? In twenty twenty six. We'll continue

(12:50):
that conversation next with you. You also told me the
Pistons were gonna beat the Knicks. I could go on
and on, but we don't have that much time. It

imagine where they would be if they had Sam Donald
right now, they might be leading a division, they might
be leading division and and looking at it.

Speaker 2 (17:51):
I just I just think that boat sailed. I don't
think clearly, I don't think. I don't think.

Speaker 1 (17:56):
I don't think you're being honest with the two biggest
games the year turned in dunb.

Speaker 4 (18:01):
I'm not not big.

Speaker 3 (18:02):
What I'm saying is now I'm stuck with a kid

What's up? Anthony?

Speaker 1 (18:17):
Hey man, you guys talking about catchphrases on TV shows?

Speaker 2 (18:20):
Yes?

Speaker 3 (18:21):
How can y'all forget the iconic Leamont your big dummy.

Speaker 2 (18:25):
Your big dummy man.

Speaker 4 (18:27):
You're right, You're right, And why you at it? Elizabeth?

Speaker 2 (18:32):
I'm coming to join you.

Speaker 1 (18:35):
Yeah, no doubt and probably the saddest, the most ironic
thing is you know, that's how he died, right Red Fox.

Speaker 3 (18:45):
And you know Harvey had at the biggest famous as
he was Red Fox. Eddie Murphy had to pay for
his headstone and all that because he was he was broke.
And when you watch the Eddie Dock he talks about
he had to do it for uh. Yeah, but at
that Fox, a handful of people, he was saying, he
learned from them that oh wow, just because you're good,
talented and famous doesn't mean like the business is gonna

(19:06):
treat you, right, he said he learned that.

Speaker 2 (19:08):
Yeah, but a lot of people.

Speaker 1 (19:09):
To be honest, though, if you have a show of
Brett Fox and you have a show and I'm just saying,
people think that because you want to show for four
or five or six years, that you're set for life.

Speaker 2 (19:20):
It ain't like today.

Speaker 1 (19:22):
There's a lot of people at TV shows for a
cup of coffee in the sweet role and they never
got to do anything else.

Speaker 2 (19:28):
And those are the people, right, So you can't live
off of that.

Speaker 3 (19:31):
No, But I mean, you wouldn't think you would think
he has some headstone money though.

Speaker 2 (19:35):
You know, have you ever have you ever been on Facebook?

Speaker 4 (19:39):
Man?

Speaker 1 (19:39):

get it later. It's not gonna be for me. I'm
gonna die and then I won't get them. It's such
a huge twenty five dollars thirty dollars forty dollars a month,
you can get two hundred three hundred four hudred. Thus
take care of your family, Robbed I worked in insurance

(20:16):
for a little while, and it's mind boggling how many
men specifically don't do it and end up dying because
we're all gonna die and leave their family with nothing
but debt. Man, go do it. So if you're listening
to your thirty dude, it's like twenty bucks a month,
you can get quarter million dollars. Because you're young, you're healthier, vibrant.
Please go do that people. Too many people die without

(20:37):
it and leave their family in shambles.

Speaker 4 (20:38):
Man. All right, that's my message for today.

Speaker 3 (20:41):
All right, on the way, we've got tight shirts tower trivia,
but right now, Mantelanos.

Speaker 4 (20:46):
Is gonna get your up baby.

Speaker 7 (20:49):
All right, guys, I do that, Manti?

Every week?

Speaker 2 (20:54):
I do that? Let me hear you doing MONTI. Then
I do that. Then I do that. There you go.

Speaker 8 (21:01):
Does Homer Simpsons do work do every single time?

Speaker 4 (21:06):
Yeah?

Speaker 7 (21:07):
Because it let me say it.

Speaker 8 (21:10):
Let me say it. The number one defense in the NFL, guys,
they're definitely one of the number one defenses in the NFL.
Is giving Josh Allen a hard time already. He just
threw a pick that went off the hands of a
Texas Texans defender into the hands of another, putting the
Texans in a position to maybe get some points. But
Buffalo's defense kind of stepped up to the play in

(21:32):
that moment. Texans are up right now, ten to nine,
though they are at let's see the bills like twenty
five yard line. They're down to the two minute warning
of the first half, but it is fourth and fifth,
so they'll probably settle for a field goal. The Texans
again up ten nine two minutes to go in the
first half. Other NFL news of the day, Joe Burrow

(21:52):
has practiced for a second consecutive day. You know the
SINSANNTA Bengals are playing the Patriots this weekend. Ravens quarterback
Lamar Jackson returned to practice after missing Wednesday's practice with
an ankle issue. When it comes to the NBA, I
don't want to talk about it, but the Clippers lost
to the Magic One twenty nine to one oh one.
But the leading score James Hard and y'all, it is

(22:13):
rough out here. The Spurs are leading the Hawks eighty
five to seventy three halfway through the third quarter, just
like the Bucks who are leading the seventy six.

Speaker 7 (22:21):
Ers sixty eight to sixty four.

Speaker 8 (22:22):
Tyree s Maaxy leading score. He's got twenty five points
and still early in the third quarter in Memphis, where
the Grizzlies are just cruising past the Kings eighty four
to fifty six. When it comes to men's college hoops,
number fifteen, Texas Tech is up on Wake Forest twenty
eight to nineteen with about six minutes to go in
the first half. Halfway through the first half, number two
Houston on top of Ryder twenty two to ten. In

(22:44):
the NAHL, the Islanders were added another goal, so now
they're shutting out the Red Wings five zero. Halfway through
the third period, the Canadians have cut They're deficit to one.
Capitals are up five to four with eight minutes to
go in the third period, and with five minutes to go,
the Blue Jackets and the Maple Leaves are tied at
to a piece down to the final minute where the
Panthers are up on the Devil's one zero.

Speaker 4 (23:06):
Back to you guys, Manzi, a great night.

Saying, no, don't get too carrious. But he went to
Allen to Stanford. Okay, so he's a smart guy. Yeah,
Josh Allen eleven for fifteen only eighty eight yards. If
if we completed eleven passes, I'm gonna need more than
eighty eight yards.

Speaker 1 (38:28):
He's the best dual threat the quarterback in the history
of the NFL.
