  Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: I assumed the position that a story that was popular
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: during the NFL offseason would be long gone by now.
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: The Cold War of football. But you know what happens
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: when you assume. And it has happened yet again. The
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: NFL Cold War continuing. Our lead this hour from San Francisco.
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: It's a rare 49er story that does not involve debauchery
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: of some kind. Whether it's Kyle Shanahan. getting into a
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: mystery wreck, and then radio silence for 11 days, and
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: the owner of the team going to do the make
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: and whoopee at a trailer park in Ohio, East Palestine, Ohio.
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: That's where I always go to see a lady of
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: the night, or I guess lady of the morning. So
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: you had that, and then Of course, you have the
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: love story, the fake wide receiver who's been running around
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: stooping women, getting money from them, pretending to be on
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: the 49ers. Well, this is not that. So we have
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: a legitimate 49er wide receiver, Brandon Iook, who remains at
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: loggerheads with the franchise. The general manager, John Lynch. commenting
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: on this saying, nothing has changed. Three words, nothing has
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: changed from John Lynch. Now, Brandon Ike remains on the
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: reserve left. The squad essentially went AWOL, the NFL's version
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: of AWOL. I don't know if you saw this or not.
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: So he doesn't count against the 49ers roster as they
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: get ready to head to Australia to take on the
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: LA Rams in an NFC West slobber knocker. Because when
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: you think NFC West football, You think Australia. Doesn't get
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: any more authentic than that. Anyway, John Lynch continues, said
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: he's just not on our roster. Lynch, the executive. I
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: worked for his boss in San Diego. His boss, John
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: Lynch's dad, ran the radio cluster that I worked for
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: in San Diego. Anyway, Brandon Ayuk was scheduled to receive $ 24.
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: 9 million.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: And an option bonus, that would be here on September
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: 1st as we head into September 1st, still late on
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: the 31st of August in the West. The show we're
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: doing is for September 1st. So anyway, the point is
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: that he was due to get a roster bonus of
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: $ 24. 9 million.
• 2:46
  Speaker 4: But Lynch confirmed ixnay on the Monday for the.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: Wide receiver, as he will not be getting that money.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: The Niners don't owe him the money. Because the team
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: says that he defaulted on his contract. You know how
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: hard it is to default on a contract? It's just
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: basically have a pulse, you get the money. Have a pulse,
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: you get the money. And he's effed that up. So
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: that is a good jumping off point. Let us discuss
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: the question. At what point At what point does Brandon
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: Iook realize that his protest, and he's locked in, he's
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: bunkered down in this protest, is actually hurting Brandon Iook
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: more than it is the 49ers? All right, so my
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: thoughts on this, I've got shopping at Lids, barbershop, and
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: diving board. And we will combine all of these things together,
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: and we are going to have some delicious orange chicken
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: and chow mein. is what we're going to have. So, A,
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: to begin here, this has gone from a contract dispute,
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: which even that, you're like, well, is it really a
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: contract dispute? Because Brad and I got the money. He
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: got the contract he wanted, in theory, and it's gone
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: from whatever that was, right, whatever that was, to just
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: the Olympics of stubbornness. Congratulations, you're in the Olympics. What
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: kind of Olympics? Oh, it's the Olympics of stubbornness. Oh, great.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: Except Brandon Iok is the only contestant selling himself and
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: lighting himself on fire. His own wallet is being lit
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: on fire while he's selling himself to the world public
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: on social media, demanding to play for the commanders and this, that,
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: and the other thing. And so he's selling himself and
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: then also burning his wallet on fire at the same time.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: So he's wasting the prime years of his career, which
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: it seems like it's over at this point based on,
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: today that he's not going to play again in a
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: meaningful role in the NFL. So he's battling. He's in
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: an argument he cannot win. Think about that. You know
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: you cannot win the argument, and yet you're fully engaged
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: in the argument. The man has locked himself into one
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: of those escape rooms and swallowed the key. Abracadabra. Good
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: luck getting out without the key. You can't do it. Now, meanwhile,
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: the 49ers.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: They're sitting up and they're lazy boy. They got their
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: feet up. They got some lemonade. They're enjoying themselves, resting
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: nice and comfortably because NFL rules, the bylaws allow them
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: to leave Brandon Iook in a contractual squabble in purgatory
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: while owing him nothing. To infinity and beyond! They don't
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: have to do anything. And so for our purposes, bravo
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: to the wide receiver, Brandon Iook, who should be shopping
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: over at Lids. Go over there, get a nice cap.
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: We recommend the golden headwear for Brandon Iook. Now get
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: that golden headwear right there. And I recommend the royal
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: dunce cap. Dum-da-dum-dum-dum! Yes, after holding the financial bonfire... And
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: so far, if my mal or math is correct, he
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: is torched. Roughly $ 53 million, which, oh, by the way,
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: I looked a few hours ago, is less than almost
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: all the state lotteries. He had the lottery, and he burned, baby,
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: burned the lottery. $ 50- plus million between guaranteed money and option bonuses.
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: So bravo, bravo, bravo, bravo. Way to go. All right.
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: What exactly is the endgame here, you ask? Well, San
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: Francisco has to do nothing. They can just twiddle their
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: thumbs and wait for their owner to go to another
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: trailer park and their coach to go driving his Tesla.
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: Wink, wink.
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: And all that. And Brian and I can scream and
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: shout and let it all out on social media. The
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: grandfather clock keeps ticking away. Tick, tick, tick. Just like that.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: And eventually... You're not teaching the big bad 49ers a lesson.
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: You're paying $ 52 million, Brandon Ayok, in tuition to teach
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: yourself a lesson. And someday you'll go around to airport
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: seminars and say, I'm the guy that burned $ 50 million
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: because I was making a point. Well, he can't have
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: dinner now with Le'Veon Bell, who did not burn that
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: much money but chose to hang out in his banana hammock.
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: They're in Miami rather than play for the Steelers years ago.
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: And then was sentenced to play for the Jets. All right, meanwhile,
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: to Los Angeles we go. Follow-up to the follow-up to
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: the follow-up. Aaron Donald returning to the Rams at age 35.
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: You know about that. Two seasons in a gap situation.
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: He went on sabbatical for a couple years. Donald insisting
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: that he remains physically capable of playing at a high level.
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: That's what he said. In fact, he says he stayed
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: in shape by... Weightlifting, okay. Conditioning and full speed treadmill work.
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: Sounds like my random Wednesday. Did all that stuff. Now,
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: entering the chat, Aaron Donald brought up his long-time, long-time
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: speed trainer. Who doesn't have a speed trainer? You don't?
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: But I met the Mallard Militia in Vegas. I mean,
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: all those guys have speed trainers. Good-looking people. They have
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: a need for speed.
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: Anyway.
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: The speed trainer, Dwayne Brown, who has known Donald since
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: he was in high school, worked with him, and Aaron
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: Donald glowingly said, listen, this guy evaluated me, and his
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: decision was that Aaron Donald had not missed a step.
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: Despite two years on the shelf, he had not missed
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: a step. Now, Donald spent roughly three months, he says,
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: preparing to come back So the Rams dragging it out
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: to the 11th hour. Said it was a long process,
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: and he's ready to go. And the Rams are being
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: coy about whether or not he'll play against the Niners
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: in Australia. What's the point? What are you saving him for?
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: All right, question. Aaron Donald says his longtime speed coach
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: told him that he has not lost a step. What's
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: the level of importance to that line by Aaron Donald?
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: You ask me, level of importance. Somewhere, to quote the
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: great Jim Mora, somewhere between diddly and squat. Ergo, diddly squat.
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: Come on. We're supposed to buy that Aaron Donald's comeback
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: is going to work out glowingly because his personal trainer
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: gave the old thumbs up. Really? That's what we're doing.
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: Of course, the trainer, the speed coach is going to say, hey,
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: you look great. what else was he supposed to say
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: aaron i gotta tell you man you're cooked you are
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: cooked get out of here it's kind of like going
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: to the neighborhood barber shop and asking your barber how
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: the haircut looks after he's just finished the haircut What
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: do you expect the barber to say? Boy, I really
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: screwed that one up. Oh, man. You might want to
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: go with the shaved head look now because it's not
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: really working for you. Yeah. Workout videos also. I've learned
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: this over the years. It used to drive me nuts
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: and I used to rant about guys doing weight lifting
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: workout videos and all that. The workout videos are football
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: porn for fans. That's it. They're pornography. Workout videos are
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: pornography for football fans. That's what they are. And Everybody
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: looks fantastic. Because you don't post it if you don't
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: look fantastic. Everyone looks fantastic until, of course, the rubber
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: meets the road when the games begin and you forget
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: the stopwatch. Aaron Donald. His whole performance with the Rams
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: back when he became the greatest defensive player of his
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: generation was based on violence and leverage. He's 35 and
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: barring some kind of amazing pharmaceuticals, generally you slow down
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: in an athletic environment around that age. So, of course,
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: I will point out nobody loses a step in August
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: or even September. They lose their step in November, right?
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: The games start piling up, and the question is not
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: whether Aaron Donald can go out and dominate against the
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: Niners or somebody else the Rams play early in the year.
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: The question is whether or not Aaron Donald can survive
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: 50 snaps on a Sunday and then do it again
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: seven days later over and over and over and become
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: the Energizer Bunny. The key to this, and this is
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: something like Nostradinus and J.J. and Renton and the trolls
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: don't understand. To expect Aaron Donald to be exactly what
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: he was, a carbon copy, is not going to happen. However,
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: if Aaron Donald can give the Rams 70% of the vintage,
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: that is a home run. That is not a base hit.
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: That's a home run for the Rams. Anything more than 70%
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: is obscene. for what that defense should be. And so
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: the Rams have assembled. I've read everything online. I've learned
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: the Rams have assembled the greatest defense ever created on
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: an iPad. So congratulations on that. Yes. Way to go. Now, unfortunately,
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: as with all these things, as we pointed out, you
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: actually have to play the games. You have to wear
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: the uniform, the shoulder pads, the jockstrap, and all that stuff.
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: So that's when we will find out whether or not
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: this is the reality of the situation. All right, last word.
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: We head now to the most pathetic quarterback competition in
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: the NFL. We thought the Cleveland Browns had owned that
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: title as the most despicable quarterback controversy in pro football.
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: But no. The Atlanta Hawks said, wait a minute. What
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: about us? Hold my beer. So we are told the
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: Falcons are bemused about whether or not Michael Penix Jr.,
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: should start over to a tongue of Iloa. What? Yes,
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: week one against the Pittsburgh football team. Now we are
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: told that Atlanta has not decided. Everyone else has decided.
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: Not Atlanta on who their quarterback is going to be.
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: So the question is rather obvious. We'll ask it anyway.
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: You can answer it rhetorically or you can call in
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: later or Send a snarky comment on X. How bad,
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: here's the question, how bad must Tua Tunga-Vailoa have looked
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: in practice, not the game, forget the game, she's talking
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: about practice, for Atlanta to still be considering, with the
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: NFL beginning next week, for the NFL's Atlanta Falcons to
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: still be considering Starting a quarterback, Michael Pennex Jr., who
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: has been broken, hasn't played a snap in preseason action,
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: and doesn't appear to be fully medically ready to go.
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: And yet, it certainly sounds like they're leaning towards Pennex
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: to be the quarterback there for the Dirty Birds. So
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: Tua Tungabailoa walked into Atlanta. I must stress how crazy
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: this is. He left the Dolphins because he sucked there
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: and they got rid of him. And so Tua goes
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: into Georgia with the starting job practically waiting at baggage claim.
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: Just get off the plane, go to carousel three at
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: the baggage claim. Okay, not carousel four, not five, three. Okay,
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: I'll go to carousel three. Go to the baggage claim.
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: And somehow they didn't lose his luggage. He couldn't find
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: his own luggage. How did that happen? And so Tua
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: is performing. Like he's Chick-fil-A. He doesn't work on Sunday.
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: What are you doing? There is no reasonable explanation for
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: a quarterback competition to still exist other than the fact
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: that Tua... during training camp was climbing up the ladder
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: to the diving board and has done a full-on belly
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: whopper cowabunga dude yeah just like that and so think
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: about tua was brought in specifically because michael pennex jr
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: was not going to be ready and now two is
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: apparently not ready yikes and Penix hasn't even adjusted yet.
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: I was reading some of the stories. They said, well,
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: he's not really up to speed in terms of he
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: can throw the ball. They don't know what's going to
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: happen if he gets sacked.
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: He doesn't know how to avoid pressure. That seems like
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: it's going to be a thing. What do I know?
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: I didn't play in the NFL, right?
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: Reconstructed knee, which I think is still under warranty. And
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: you've got Atlanta who's sitting there right now, biting their
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: fingernails and And they're looking across the quarterback room and
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: they're like, well, yeah, I know the guy's got a
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: bum knee and he hadn't played, but we kind of
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: like that guy. How damning is that? The Falcons are
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: essentially deciding whether 80% of Michael Penix Jr. or even
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: less than that is over 100%, better than 100% of
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: Tua Tungavailoa. And that doesn't sound like a quarterback controversy
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: on this side of the microphone. That is a mayday,
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: mayday call from flowery branch. It's a dead flowery branch there.
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: It really is. And so Tua had an open highway,
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: open highway for QB1 status, and somehow drove into the medium.
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: And he wasn't drinking and just was distracted. Maybe he
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: had that self-driving Tesla like Kyle Shanahan did. Wink, wink, nod, nod.
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: At this rate, though. The Atlanta Falcons and the career
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: of Tua Tungabailoa at this moment here, they are riding
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: on the express elevator, and they're going right to Clipboard City.
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: Population Tua. Yikes.

  Speaker 1: get rid of one of their quarterbacks, although not McCarthy. However,
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: doesn't mean he's going to play. I don't know if
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: you saw this or not, but McCarthy said to be
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: suffering from an ankle predicament. What does that mean? He's got, oh,
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: my ankle! He's got a bum ankle. So Adam Schefter
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: tells us that the injury is now a multi-week issue.
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: And there were some reports over the weekend saying it
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: was minor, he's day-to-day. And now all of a sudden,
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: little hocus-pocus, no focus, and they're saying, well, he's going
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: to be out multiple weeks. Now, you know what that means?
• 18:42
  Speaker 4: Yep.
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: Carson Wentz. Carson Wentz is your backup quarterback. You got
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: alligator arms and Carson Wentz. Welcome to hell, Minnesota Viking fan.
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: Welcome to hell.
• 18:59
  Speaker 4: Yikes.
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: So that's it. That means McCarthy, if my math is
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: correct on this, I'm using back of the napkin math,
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: that means McCarthy is the third string quarterback on the
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: depth chart. And that is a good jumping off point.
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: So let us discuss the question. What's the beef? What's
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: the beef with the Vikings quarterback, J.J. McCarthy, being out
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: with a bum ankle? Any kind of beef with this.
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: So I've got Wooly Mammoth, Star Jones, I know, and
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: the Summer Blockbuster trailer. We've got all of these things.
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: We're going to combine them together, and we are going
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: to make a delicious beef burrito and some nachos with
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: extra cheese on top. That's what we're going to do.
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: Sound good, doesn't it? Okay, sounds good. All right, so
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: first of all, all right, here's the deal. The beef...
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: is that the ankle, if you examine the ankle with
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: any kind of critical thinking, the ankle became the fall ankle.
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: Not the fall guy, the fall ankle. Got to have
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: a fall body part. And this turned out to be
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: the ankle for J.J. McCarthy here. You'd have to be
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: a grade A Rube. I am talking higher level Rube
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: in a purple and gold onesie. I'm going full purple
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: and gold onesie here to not see how convenient this
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: whole situation turned out to be. First, the injury was
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: minor injury. Then all of a sudden, OAD, oops-a-daisy. Oops-a-daisy.
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: It's a multi-week problem. And ta-da! Carson Wentz is your QB2.
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: What astonishing timing. As Andrea, the astrology insider, would say,
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: the planet's all lined up for the Vikings here. So
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: the Minnesota football team, they found the ultimate hiding spot.
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: No one's going to find... No one's going to find J.J.
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: McCarthy in quarterback embarrassment tent. There's like a tent. It's
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: called quarterback embarrassment over there. And it's actually right behind
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: the medical tent. It's a different tent. Yeah, that's right.
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: Off to the side there and in the back. If
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: you walk around the medical tent, you'll see the embarrassment tent.
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: And that's where that is. And that bum ankle... is camouflage.
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: It's corporate camouflage, a warm security blanket. So Minnesota did
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: not have to publicly announce, by the way, Carson Wentz
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: is our new backup quarterback, and a guy that we
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: got a couple years ago with the 10th pick in
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: the draft, well, he got outplayed by Carson Wentz. The
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: rotting carcass of Carson Wentz outplayed him. So it gives Minnesota,
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: the brains behind the franchise there, it gives them plausible deniability.
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: And it preserves J.J. McCarthy's dignity on some level. And
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: everyone can get together. They can huddle up there in Minnesota.
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: And they can blame the joint. Not that kind of joint.
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: The ankle. And acknowledge the woolly mammoth. In the back
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: of the room, they're doing jumping jacks. Well, why is
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: there a woolly mammoth doing jumping jacks? I don't know.
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: I have no idea. But it's right there in the
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: back on the right-hand side of the room. You can
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: see clearly the woolly mammoth doing jumping jacks. Even Inca
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: Terror can see that, and Stevie Meatballs can see it. Now,
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: when healthy, J.J. McCarthy just wasn't good enough. That's it.
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: That's the story right there.
• 22:42
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: Meanwhile, staying with Minnesota, though, there was some chatter that
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: the Vikings head coach, the quarterback whisperer, Kevin O'Connell, remains
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: one of J.J. McCurdy's biggest supporters. Yes, the story claiming
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: that O'Connell, quote, wants to keep working with the quarterback.
• 23:01
  Speaker 3: Really?
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: Hmm.
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: All right. So the question here, do you believe, are
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: you a believer that That Viking coach, Kevin O'Connell, is
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: being truthful when he says he still wants to develop J.J. McCarthy.
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: So on the Malheur sincerity scale, we've dusted off the
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: Malheur sincerity scale. One to ten, with ten being the
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: most sincere you could possibly be. And it's very rare
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: this happens. On the Malheur sincerity scale, Kevin O'Connell gets
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: a minus seven point. A minus seven on the Malheur
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: Sincerity Score scale, which we use, and it's always the
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: tool that we go to, as you know, from over
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: the years here. Now, we are believers that actions speak
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: louder than words. I think all of us can agree
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: on that. If I tell you I'm going to give
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: you $ 50, 000, that makes you feel pretty good. You know
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: what makes you feel better? Delivering a box filled with
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: money that has the $ 50, 000. That is better than telling
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: you I'm going to do it, actually doing it. Actually
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: doing it. And so the Vikings told you exactly what
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: they think of J.J. McCarthy when they brought in the
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: Oompa Loompa, Kyler Murray. They brought in Alligator Arms Murray there.
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: Kevin O'Connell saying, we want to keep working with J.J.,
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: is classic NFL coach speak. For we couldn't get anything
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: worthwhile for him on the trade market, so here we are.
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: We are stuck. And that's it. We'll call J.J. McCarthy
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: the white elephant, is what we're going to call him.
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: And the alleged quarterback whisperer, which is Kevin... O'Connell there.
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: And even he went out and said, you know, I
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: want somebody else. I don't want this guy. I want
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: somebody else. So calling McCarthy incredibly important, which is one
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: of the quotes that was bouncing around the interweb, that
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: he's incredibly important right after replacing him. With the football
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: equivalent of what? We should still be friends? That's essentially, well,
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: you know, listen, it's not you. It is you, but
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: let's still be friends. You're incredibly important. So we brought
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: in a guy with a video game addiction who's not
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: going to do anything more than be mediocre this year,
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: and we thought that guy was better than you. So
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: we got that guy. That's what he did. But keeping J.J.
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: is not obviously incredibly important. Keeping him is not some
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: kind of renewed commitment. That's not the case. It's just
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: postponing the inevitable. And the inevitable is eventually you're just
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: going to visit Star Jones on divorce court, which I
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: think is still on the air. And that'll be that.
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: And Kyler Murray already has the job. We hear that
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: Kyler has the parking spot for his tricycle, so that's exciting.
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: And he's got his favorite remote joystick. It's not a
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: remote control. It's like a joystick that he uses, and
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: he took that actually from J.J.
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: McCarthy.
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: So he's got the parking spot, he's got the key fob,
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: and he's got the remote control joystick thingamajig to play
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: the video games, all from J.J. McCarthy. who is now
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: in the back. He's no longer the leading actor. He
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: has been buried on the depth chart. All right, final thought.
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: To Dallas we go. And the training camp sensation of
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: NFL Nation can be yours if the price is right.
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: Did you see the Dallas Cowboys have said bye-bye? They
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: have fired quarterback Joe Milton. Let go on Monday, one
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: day after they announced on Sunday that they were keeping
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: him on the 53-man roster. They did the old okey-doke
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: and said, psych Dallas needing Milton's roster spot to claim
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: some running back you've never heard of from Kansas City.
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: So that guy's on the Cowboys roster now. The story
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: is that the Cowboys are hoping to bring Joe Milton
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: back to the practice squad. Not the real squad.
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: No, no, no.
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: The practice squad. That is, of course, if he clears
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: waivers that another team could claim him. We'll see if
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: that happens. Now, Milton earned critical acclaim. Playing in some
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: of these exhibition games here was celebrated, right? On the interweb. Oh, man.
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: What a performance. What a performance. And it looked like
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: for a while he was going to be the QB
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: number two. QB number two behind Dak Prescott. Instead, Sam
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: the man. Sam Howell. Sam Howell will be the backup
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: quarterback in Jerry's world. So the question, what stands out?
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: about the Cowboys firing, because that's what, you know, they
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: say waivers, but you get fired, firing backup quarterback Joe
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: Milton after very impressive highlight plays in the Cowboys exhibition games.
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: So Joe Milton is the ultimate BT sandwich. I'm not
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: talking about bacon tomato sandwich. No, no, no, no, no.
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: Big T's, BT, the big T's. It's kind of like
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: the guy in the Cactus League or the Grapefruit League
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: that goes out and hits 10 home runs in March.
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: And you're like, boy, that's pretty cool. 10 home runs
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: in March. Let's see what he can do in April. Well, nothing.
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: He can't do anything in April. Can't even tie his
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: own shoes and chew gum at the same time. Can't happen.
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: Not going to happen. You're like, okay, not going to happen.
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: And so that's what he is. Joe Milton is the
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: summer blockbuster trailer. Everyone falls in love with the trailer. Oh,
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: it's so good. Every single August, you get excited about it,
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: and then the actual movie never makes it to the
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: big screen. Well, why is it not in the big screen? Well,
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: the trailer's good. It's like people that make TikTok videos
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: that go viral couldn't make a movie because a movie's
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: 90 minutes minimum. A TikTok video can be 20 seconds
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: or less, and that's it. So it's a different skill set.
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: But that's what he is. He's Joe Milton every year. Well,
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: it's only been a couple years. But with the Patriots,
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: we heard the same thing. Look at Joe Milton. Now
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: he's with the Cowboys. The same situation. And, oh, the trailer.
• 29:30
  Speaker 4: Spectacular. Absolutely spectacular. He's got all the tools.
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: Physical marvel. Joe Milton. Bazooka Joe armor.
• 29:40
  Speaker 3: Arm.
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: Bazooka Joe arm. Throws. When he chucks the football, Joe Milton,
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: his throws cross not one, not two, but three different
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: zip codes. And if you want viral clips, who are
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: you going to call? Right? That's right. Social media was drooling.
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: They were drooling over Joe Milton. And that's just that.
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: Every August, the Internet gets hypnotized and mesmerized, and they'll
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: do it all again next year. Look at the arm!
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: Mazel tov! Look at the arm. Way to go. And
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: then he wakes up at some point, Joe Milton, and
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: he actually is apparently unable to play meaningful games because
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: the Cowboys, just like the Patriots, did not really believe
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: in Joe Milton, even though they got a firsthand look,
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: and he has become. Joe Milton, unemployed NFL quarterback, has
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: become training camp legend guy. Training camp legend guy without
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: ever playing in at least a starting role. He's never
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: started an NFL game in his two years. And yet
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: everyone's like, oh, my God. It's the razzle dazzle. He's
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: got the razzle dazzle. And the whispers keep going, oh,
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: the resume. Soon. Coming soon.
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: Physical tools, franchise quarterback, bazooka arm, all that stuff. And
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: as Bill Parcells preached the big tuna back in his day,
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: potential just means you haven't done anything. And it is
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: a curse. Potential, potential, potential, potential, potential. A prospect is
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: a suspect until proven otherwise. So until Joe Milton actually
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: goes out there and shows that he can play well
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: in a game that counts, Joe Milton, obviously not the
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: blockbuster movie. He is not. He's just a perpetual coming
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: attraction is what he is.
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: Be sure to catch live editions of the Ben Maller
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: Show weekdays at 2 a.m. Eastern, 11 p.m. Pacific.
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: Well, here we go.
• 31:37
  Speaker 3: Here we go.
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: It's Maller.
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: How about that?
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: To the third degree.
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: Are you ready?
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: This is when Big Ben gets grilled.
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: And to the coop-a-loop we go.
• 31:48
  Speaker 3: Ben, yesterday you talked about Will Levis getting waived by
• 31:51
  Speaker 3: the Titans. Yeah. Well, he went unclaimed on waivers. He
• 31:54
  Speaker 3: is now a free agent. Do you think he'll get
• 31:57
  Speaker 3: a backup quarterback role with anybody, or is he headed to, like,
• 31:59
  Speaker 3: a practice squad somewhere?
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, at this point, usually what happens is they kind
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: of wait until the first week of the season, and
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: then they'll add players. And he'll definitely end up on
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: an NFL roster before the end of the year, no
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: matter how many negative plays he has, because, as you know, Coop,
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: There are supply chain shortages at the quarterback position. So
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: even bad quarterbacks keep getting jobs.
• 32:21
  Speaker 2: Next.
• 32:22
  Speaker 3: Well, college football started over the weekend. And the announced
• 32:27
  Speaker 3: attendance at the USC Trojans with the Coliseum was 51,144. Apparently,
• 32:31
  Speaker 3: it looked like a lot less than that. About 4,000
• 32:32
  Speaker 3: people were there.
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 32:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah, to the point where the U.S. even had to
• 32:39
  Speaker 3: make a statement about it. Some people were blaming the heat.
• 32:42
  Speaker 3: Do you think that was the problem, Ben?
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: No, that's a cop. It was really hot. Obviously, it
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: was hot. It felt like the South in Southern California. However,
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: the real issue here, Coop. is they're playing a bad team,
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: San Jose State, and people aren't fired up for Lincoln Riley.
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: That's the problem. It's a Lincoln Riley problem.
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: Next!
• 33:01
  Speaker 3: So Jonathan Kaminga is now on a two-year, $ 12 million
• 33:05
  Speaker 3: contract after turning down a three-year, $ 75 million offer last summer.
• 33:09
  Speaker 3: His agent's getting a lot of heat. Some think he's
• 33:11
  Speaker 3: closer to the first contract worth than the second contract worth.
• 33:14
  Speaker 3: What do you think he is? worth i think he's.
