00:00Manders and boys are the second highest total on the weekend.
00:04Nice.
00:05The second highest total.
00:06Fifty and a half.
00:06Fifty and a half.
00:07The Cowboys defense was atrocious.
00:09It was really bad.
00:10God awful.
00:11Detroit and Buffalo is your highest total, which is tomorrow night at 54 and a half.
00:16But 15 and a half right now on FanDuel.
00:19And the actual number, three and a half.
00:22We'd get a little more respect because I think our defense is markedly improved.
00:25But when the back end is so mediocre.
00:28Probably not going to get a lot of respect until you prove otherwise.
00:31Did we hear anything?
00:32I guess we'll have to wait until we hit the skins.
00:34Anything on the injuries?
00:35I think they get updated today.
00:36Today, we'll find out.
00:37Wednesday is usually the day that they get updated.
00:40Yeah.
00:41So we should know more.
00:42Hopefully Chig's able to.
00:43I really feel like I cursed Chig.
00:45Because I distinctly remember saying a couple months ago,
00:50well, he's not going to get hurt.
00:51The guy plays in 17 games every season.
00:53Gets hurt game one.
00:54That's what he's done.
00:55Gets hurt in game one.
00:56And then he gets hurt in the...
00:57First time he goes on a commanding uniform.
00:59Yeah, you did your number on him.
01:00So my jinxing powers, Chig, I apologize.
01:03You're my guy.
01:04We're big on Chig.
01:05You know that.
01:05You did do your number on him.
01:07That doesn't mean he's going to miss the game.
01:08But I mean...
01:09Yeah, but you doomed him.
01:10It's not great.
01:11It doesn't look good.
01:12I don't feel great about it.
01:13I mean, it doesn't look good when you're pulled out of a game
01:15for basically the entire second half.
01:17No.
01:17It's not fantastic.
01:19And that happened with a couple different starters.
01:20And that's a growing, right?
01:21No, his was a hammy.
01:22Hammy.
01:22His was the hammy.
01:23Louvoo was the growing.
01:24Yeah, you're not going to come back in a week from a hammy
01:26because you've got to protect it a little bit.
01:28Yeah, you just jinxed him.
01:29I may have jinxed him.
01:30That's typical.
01:31But that means more targets probably for Antonio Williams,
01:34who I plucked off the waiver wire this morning
01:36in one of my fantasy leagues.
01:37I was like, this guy's just sitting here.
01:38Yeah.
01:39He almost scored two touchdowns over the weekend.
01:41Yeah.
01:42I can't just let some other jabroni go out and grab him
01:45and stash him on the bench.
01:47He's the real deal.
01:47Antonio was the real deal.
01:48And I picked up – I did a commander-for-commander swap.
01:53White was not impressive in his debut.
01:55Not impressive.
01:55He looked impressive at camp from the early reports,
01:57but he just –
01:58So I said, bye-bye, goodbye, Antonio Williams.
02:02Welcome to the squad.
02:03I mean, it's one game.
02:03He had at least one first-down run where he sidestepped the tackle.
02:06Yeah, no, no, it was fine, but it wasn't like –
02:08He'll have good games, though.
02:09Well, I hope so.
02:10I'm not writing him off.
02:11I'm just saying a week's one debut was –
02:13Yeah.
02:14Well, the offense's debut was –
02:16The entire first half, everyone was –
02:18Yeah, I generally agree.
02:20They couldn't get anything.
02:21I'd rather gamble on a twitchy rookie who showed signs of just cooking DBs
02:26in the first game of the season on his maiden voyage.
02:30I'll roll the dice on that guy.
02:31You couldn't come up with a better descriptor than twitchy rookie.
02:34Very twitchy.
02:35And that's what jumped out at everybody.
02:38Explosive.
02:39And White was wide open on the two-point conversion attempt
02:41at the end of the game.
02:43But I don't think that was really in the –
02:45I know.
02:45That wasn't part of his deal.
02:47He wasn't the option.
02:47We actually had the guy on yesterday.
02:49I didn't want to correct him.
02:50What was the guy's name?
02:52Ryan or whatever the guy was.
02:53We had the guy from Schumer Sports.
02:55Oh, Sean.
02:57And he thought that Jaden misread it.
03:01No, Jaden did what he was supposed to do.
03:02He was supposed to read the defensive end.
03:04Yeah.
03:05Yeah.
03:06I wish he had just turned his helmet ticked to the left
03:09because he would have seen Rashad White wide open.
03:11Yeah, well, you think he would have pivoted and just hit him?
03:13I don't know.
03:14I don't know.
03:14I mean, I would like to hope he would at least think about it.
03:18Yeah.
03:19It's an option.
03:20Yeah.
03:21I mean, there's a reason in the play that Rashad White is leaking out to the left.
03:24Or is it to –
03:25He's an option.
03:25Or is it to draw attention away?
03:27Possibly.
03:28Open up the spot.
03:28But if he's wide open, you can throw the ball to him.
03:30I suppose you can.
03:31And I guarantee you when Blau and DQ and whoever and JD were looking at the film,
03:37they saw him and they go, oh, man, next time we run this, we've got to look out there, too.
03:42Well, I don't know, but I'd be in a hurry for them to run that play again.
03:45Literally, there's not one Skins fan that liked that play.
03:48Yeah, find one.
03:49There isn't one.
03:50There are plenty of ex-coaches and guys that will justify it.
03:54There isn't one player.
03:55Mike Marr, today you should go out on the street and try to find one Commander's fan that liked the
04:01two-point conversion.
04:02You might be walking the streets for weeks.
04:04You'd be out there all day.
04:05Good luck.
04:06Good luck to you, sir.
04:07What else?
04:08All right, so we were talking about some college football games.
04:11Obviously, the Ole Miss LSU game is huge because Lane's coming back.
04:15The Oxford Police Department down in Mississippi, they're bringing in reinforcements.
04:20Extra cops.
04:21Sounds like it's going to be a fun atmosphere.
04:23Extra boys.
04:24Did you hear that audio when we talked about it last week where it's allegedly him at halftime just screaming
04:28at the guys?
04:29Kind of screaming like a lunatic?
04:33I don't know how that guy's so successful.
04:35He just sounded like a screaming lunatic.
04:38He must be an X's and O's genius.
04:40Well, offensively, yeah.
04:40A lot of football coaches are probably that way, right?
04:43Yeah.
04:43Halftime?
04:44Yeah, I know, but he just, I don't know.
04:47So the Arch Manning thing is obviously a little controversy over the last couple days.
04:52I hate that.
04:52It's so stupid.
04:53He did issue an apology to Holly Rowe from ESPN.
04:57If you missed it, Holly Rowe was, there were some technical issues for ESPN pretty much throughout the entire game.
05:05They had one at halftime and then at the end of the game, Steve Sarkeesian, he's all pumped up.
05:10You know, they just came back and beat Ohio State.
05:12And apparently he had to wait a little longer than he wanted to before he could go celebrate with his
05:16boys and his coaches.
05:18After he had waited a long time at halftime.
05:20He waited a long time at halftime.
05:21And then finally they got to him.
05:22Holly Rowe was the on-field reporter.
05:24Yeah.
05:24And, you know, he just didn't feel like waiting anymore and he basically just, he left.
05:30He flashed the hook.
05:31You could tell Holly, you could tell Holly Rowe was, he was annoyed.
05:34But I don't know if she was necessarily annoyed at him.
05:36She was probably annoyed at the whole situation.
05:39But I guess there were some memes going around, right?
05:41Yeah, and then they had the AI video of Sarkeesian.
05:44And Arch said he laughed at one.
05:46Slapping Holly Rowe.
05:47Of course, it was fake.
05:49Yeah.
05:49And, you know, Arch must have a good relationship, feel comfortable with the local media down there in Austin.
05:53And he said, did you guys, you know, did you guys see the video?
05:56And he kind of laughed.
05:57He goes, that was hilarious.
05:58Yeah.
05:58He's being a kind of immature kid.
05:59Of course.
06:00Yeah, he was.
06:01I mean, you shouldn't say that, but he wasn't thinking about that.
06:04Yeah, but he's an immature kid.
06:04What do you care?
06:05He's an immature kid.
06:06But he's got to apologize.
06:07Everybody's got to apologize.
06:08Everybody's got to be mature.
06:09Nobody can be immature ever.
06:10And he did.
06:10And Holly Rowe said, no bigs.
06:12Yeah.
06:13I accept your apology.
06:14Yeah.
06:14But that was the big story over the last couple days.
06:17Cakes, when does Caps camp start?
06:19It's got to be pretty damn soon.
06:20It's definitely soon.
06:21I mean, what's today?
06:22The 16th?
06:22It might start tomorrow or the day after.
06:25I think it might be the 18th or 19th.
06:26Because preseason games are like, they're right around the corner.
06:29They're on the docket.
06:32Didn't the Caps, didn't we talk about the Caps extending Ryan Leonard yesterday?
06:37Yeah, it happened yesterday.
06:38They did two guys.
06:39They signed him to a big deal.
06:40And they gave Justin Sordiff a big bag of money, too.
06:43They gave him, what, $80 million?
06:45Yeah.
06:45$84 million.
06:46Was that eight years?
06:47Eight years, $84 million.
06:48So, 10 a year.
06:4910.5 AAV on the deal.
06:51And they gave Sordiff, eight years, almost $51 million.
06:54$50 million, yeah.
06:54They're locking up the young core of talent.
06:57Ted's good at that.
06:58Patrick is getting the work done.
07:00It's the kind of thing we always would just beg, like, the baseball guy, like the Nats to do.
07:04Just sign these guys early, long-term deals.
07:05Ted and Chris Patrick, they get it done, man.
07:08They get it done in hockey.
07:09Media day is tomorrow.
07:12Yeah.
07:12At MedStar.
07:13I knew it was soon.
07:15We're usually there.
07:16Does that mean we don't have to go?
07:17No, we don't.
07:18I have no idea.
07:19Hey, Brad, we're not going to MedStar tomorrow?
07:20I haven't heard any details.
07:21We're going there on September 30th.
07:23We're going there September 30th?
07:24Special day, yeah.
07:25That's a special day?
07:26It's a special jumps day.
07:28We'll be there on the 30th.
07:30You know what?
07:30That's better.
07:31I'd rather be there just us than all the media.
07:33So their schedule, training camp schedule, today is medical testing.
07:37No media availability.
07:40Tomorrow, Group A practicing at 9 a.m.
07:44All right.
07:44Good.
07:45Man, it's here.
07:46Carberry Talks at 1020.
07:48Then there's media availability.
07:50Then Group B practices later in the day around 1145.
07:53I believe yesterday during the skate after Leno signed the big deal, they made him wear
07:58a green practice jersey, and they also scribbled dollar signs all over his helmet because he
08:04got paid.
08:05He got paid.
08:05He got paid by the Caps.
08:07The guy's been here literally for half an hour, and he gets $80 million, $84 million.
08:11They realize he's the upside and the young talent.
08:14I know.
08:14It's just crazy, though.
08:15I mean, he's barely been here.
08:19Amazing.
08:19I hope it works out.
08:20I hope it works out.
08:21By the way, the Caps do this.
08:23They drop the puck with the Bruins on Sunday, preseason game.
08:28Yeah.
08:28This Sunday.
08:29This Sunday.
08:305 o'clock.
08:31Wow.
08:32Yeah, they don't mess around in hockey.
08:33Get ready.
08:34It's gone by.
08:35I mean, you weren't here, obviously, yesterday, but we're already into week three of college,
08:40approaching week two of the NFL.
08:42Caps camp starts in a couple days.
08:44I mean, the Wizards will be starting practice soon.
08:47The Caps real thing starts Friday, October 2nd.
08:50Yeah, that'll be here before you know it.
08:51Pretty easy opener at the Carolina Hurricanes.
08:54We always have Paul Taboney on Wednesday.
08:57It's always good to have him on after a win.
08:59They've won four straights.
09:01Obviously, the season's over.
09:02They've already been eliminated.
09:03But 71 wins.
09:05They swept the Angels here.
09:07And then they beat the Phillies last night.
09:09How many games are left?
09:1010, I believe, for them.
09:12If they could get to 75, that feels like a nice round number.
09:1575, it's possible.
09:17I mean, go four and six.
09:19Kind of sad.
09:20I looked at the standings a day or two ago and looked at the wild card, and they were
09:2512 and a half back in the wild card.
09:27And I was thinking, man, when they made those trades, when they traded Griffin, and they
09:33made all those trades, I think they were like one back, two back, maybe three back.
09:40Well, at one point, they were in the third wild card spot.
09:43They didn't feel ready to go for it.
09:44But look, that was a long time ago.
09:45They knew that was a sugar high.
09:47They knew that wasn't going to last.
09:48They were 55.
09:49It was a sugar high for over 100 games, though.
09:51JP, they were 55 and 53 at one point.
09:54Yeah.
09:55Okay.
09:55Then they went on.
09:56Before this four-game winning streak, they weren't on a run of 10 and 27.
10:01Yeah, they punted.
10:02They lost 27 of 37.
10:03We said it at the time.
10:04They punted the season.
10:06Well, I mean, it wasn't going to work out either way.
10:07But yeah, I agree.
10:09I mean, they might have stuck in there and kept it interesting for a couple more weeks.
10:14And Luis Garcia's been good in New York.
10:15Of course.
10:16I think he's up to 30 home runs.
10:18They got a little too good too soon.
10:19But they're not ready.
10:20They didn't want to give up any assets yet.
10:21I mean, who knows, though?
10:23If you stuck with Griffin and Luis Garcia?
10:25Yeah, I guess they just wanted to cash out.
10:27It wasn't going to happen.
10:29Cash out option, buddy.
10:29It wasn't going to happen because Wood got hurt.
10:33They weren't going anywhere.
10:34Then they got the Abrams deal.
10:34They'd be spinning their wheels.
10:36I don't believe CJ played last night.
10:38Pitching wasn't good enough.
10:38I know this, if the Commanders were knocking on the door for a wild card and they traded
10:43away Terry McLaurin, people would be upset.
10:46Football's different than baseball.
10:50This is different.
10:50Anyway, you can tell Paul that at 9 o'clock.
10:53Yeah, let him know that.
10:54That's your deal.
10:541-800-636-1067 is the number you want to chime in.
10:58Barry's Verluga is going to join us a little bit later.
10:59You were talking about the Caps.
11:01Some controversy because an ad came out where Ovi was backing old Pootie Poot.
11:08So we're going to talk to Barry's Verluga about that.
11:09That's his boy.
11:10That's coming up at 825.
11:12Paul Tiboni, as you mentioned, he'll join us at 9 here on The Junkies.
