  out there. Go find them. There's plenty of them
• 0:31
  out there. Listen to all our early takes. All
• 0:33
  our early takes. It'll be destroyed in the first
• 0:36
  couple weeks, but that's all right. Obviously,
• 0:39
  like I already said, Rob, our co -host here.
• 0:42
  Welcome back for another year. Thank you. I'm
• 0:45
  glad we got through the negotiations of our contract.
• 0:49
  And I think financially it all worked out for
• 0:53
  everyone. Yeah. Another long -term contract signed
• 0:58
  was Kev behind the cameras. We got that locked
• 1:00
  in. That a boy, Kev? What? Yeah. Let's just head
• 1:05
  right into some tent talk for us. uh do we still
• 1:09
  have that transition kev oh let's hit the transition
• 1:12
  tent talk here we go 911 what's your emergency
• 1:17
  we will start immediately with the injuries that
• 1:26
  we know of there's a couple there's a lot out
• 1:28
  there but we only picked a couple big ones if
• 1:30
  anything happened today today is Tuesday, September
• 1:34
  2nd. I'm not sure. Rob's on it. Landon Dickerson
• 1:38
  was set to go and was back from his knee operation.
• 1:42
  Guard for the Philadelphia Eagles. But now it's
• 1:46
  kind of day -to -day with a back issue. Yep.
• 1:48
  They open the season in two days. We will see.
• 1:51
  Derek Harmon, D -tackle out of Pittsburgh, is
• 1:54
  officially out against the Jets for Pittsburgh's
• 1:58
  game one. Stephon Diggs is expected to play in
• 2:02
  his first game back since his October 2024 ACL
• 2:06
  tear, so that'll be fun. Welcome back, Minneapolis
• 2:09
  Miracle. Oh, man. Never forget it. Never forget
• 2:12
  it. Neither will the Saints fans. Najee Harris
• 2:15
  should be ready for the Chargers game one after
• 2:19
  an eye injury. Watch out for the guys dangerous
• 2:23
  these days. We'll leave that alone. We'll leave
• 2:24
  that alone. Devon Achan looking like he is set
• 2:28
  to go after a calf injury. That would be nice
• 2:30
  to have for Miami for week one. Micah Parsons,
• 2:34
  we'll talk about him in a second, but has an
• 2:36
  L5 facets joint sprain. Excuse me. He may end
• 2:43
  up playing with an epidural of all things. When
• 2:46
  does he do? Yeah, right, right, right, right,
• 2:49
  right. So new edge rusher for Green Bay -ish.
• 2:54
  Let's just head into the news here right away,
• 2:56
  and then we'll definitely be touching on Micah
• 2:58
  Parsons. Gabe Davis returns to Buffalo, I think,
• 3:01
  just yesterday. He's on the practice squad. I
• 3:03
  would imagine they elevate him and that he will.
• 3:07
  be a contributor potentially as a number three
• 3:10
  or something there. Kind of hurts my fantasy
• 3:12
  football draft a little bit. A lot of receivers
• 3:15
  in that room now suddenly in Buffalo. Yeah. So
• 3:18
  that's my take on that. Jalen Warren, running
• 3:21
  back for Pittsburgh, signs a two -year extension
• 3:23
  to stay in Pittsburgh. He earned that. Welcome
• 3:28
  back. I apparently do not have the financials
• 3:31
  on that one. Jerron Bland. All -pro corner for
• 3:35
  the Dallas Cowboys. Gets a four -year 92 -mil
• 3:38
  extension the day before Micah Parsons is traded.
• 3:42
  Micah Parsons gets extended four years after
• 3:45
  being traded to the Green Bay Packers of all
• 3:48
  freaking places he could have went. Gets traded
• 3:50
  to the Green Bay Packers. Signs a new, fresh
• 3:53
  four -year $188 million deal. $136 million of
• 3:58
  that guaranteed. Makes him the highest non -quarterback.
• 4:03
  paid non -quarterback in the league, I believe.
• 4:07
  The Herschel Walker trade, again. That has been
• 4:11
  brought up a ton right now. Allegedly, after
• 4:15
  trade rumors came out, Parsons camp kind of went
• 4:18
  back to Jerry, and Dallas pretty much said, play
• 4:22
  on the fifth year or you're going to leave. So
• 4:25
  I guess that's it. But hasn't a bunch of locker
• 4:27
  room stuff came out and said that he was kind
• 4:31
  of a little bit of a cancer in the locker room?
• 4:33
  Somebody on Dallas came out to say, thank God,
• 4:36
  just more or less that it's done. No longer a
• 4:39
  distraction as social media blew it up. in the
• 4:42
  past two weeks. Social media blows stuff up.
• 4:44
  I know. Just like Banter of the Boys, gaining
• 4:46
  traction in all directions. Yes. Via social media.
• 4:52
  Clickbait, that's what we've been called lately.
• 4:54
  Yeah, we're definitely clickbait. Perfect. Keep
• 4:56
  clicking. Kevin and his thumbnails just keeps
• 5:01
  getting them in. Just helps us in the end. Yeah,
• 5:05
  not excited to see Micah rushing against the
• 5:08
  Packers, although for us Vikings. We have a good
• 5:11
  tackle duo. Yeah, I like the 71. I like our chances.
• 5:15
  Yeah, I do, too. I do, too. I don't know. The
• 5:19
  only other thing sticking out to me was Jerron
• 5:21
  Bland signing that four -year extension. That's
• 5:22
  big for Dallas. Well, they need somebody back
• 5:26
  there. Especially after losing Micah literally
• 5:28
  the next day. But I think, I mean, Clark's going
• 5:31
  to really help that defense. They struggled hard
• 5:34
  against him. Well, did you see Jerry come out
• 5:35
  and say? He really wanted a run stopper for Micah.
• 5:38
  And that's, I mean, you went and got one of the
• 5:40
  best D tackles in the game right now. I mean,
• 5:42
  it's always easier to play defense when you can
• 5:44
  limit the offense to one direction, you know?
• 5:46
  I mean, some teams, that's all they do, but they're
• 5:49
  really good at it. But in general, you need a
• 5:52
  little bit of Kenny Clark. He's up there. Yeah.
• 5:55
  Mid thirties. I'm going to assume Kenny Clark's
• 5:58
  been hanging around 97, 29 years old. All right.
• 6:01
  Sorry, Kenny. Not even at 30. That's offensive.
• 6:04
  I'm sorry, Kenny. Dang. He's not even 30 yet.
• 6:08
  What am I doing? Barely could rent a car at this
• 6:11
  point. But still, one of the better D tackles
• 6:14
  when healthy, so it could be a win -win. Last
• 6:17
  year didn't have a great year either. And Dallas
• 6:19
  got what? Two first round picks? Two first rounds
• 6:21
  for him. But the Hurst Walker was five picks,
• 6:24
  so a little different. We'll leave that alone.
• 6:28
  What sums up injuries and news for me, is there
• 6:33
  anything else out there, Rob, that kind of jumped
• 6:36
  out to you no i'm just glad football's ready
• 6:39
  for week one i'm just ready you know it's good
• 6:41
  that there's not a ton more major injuries to
• 6:43
  be talking about right now yeah i mean lately
• 6:46
  probably until what last three to five years
• 6:48
  that training camps kind of changed where the
• 6:51
  starters are you know pain not see a ton of clock
• 6:54
  yeah yeah you know if any some of the veterans
• 6:56
  at all so um that reduces a little bit but a
• 7:00
  lot of those injuries typically happen in practice
• 7:02
  anyways so Those non -contact injuries. We know
• 7:07
  it, Teddy Bridgewater. That's good. Everyone
• 7:09
  coming out of camp pretty healthy. Other than
• 7:13
  the left tackle from Chargers, there wasn't really
• 7:17
  a ton of big starters that ended up out for the
• 7:21
  year already. You hit the ground running. Quite
• 7:25
  literally. No excuses. Bring it. No excuses.
• 7:29
  Hopefully this episode gets to you ASAP, Rocky,
• 7:33
  and you are able to listen to that and get that
• 7:37
  news before something else comes out tomorrow
• 7:39
  morning. Yeah, exactly. Rob? We got another one
• 7:43
