Jason Fitz (2:25)

Gosh. Whoa. All right, our number two here on the herd. You can tell we're fired up. We got juice. So much good stuff. Colt McCoy.

Colt McCoy (2:36)

Oh my gosh.

Jason Fitz (2:37)

Longtime NFL quarterback and also, oh yeah, he played at Texas. Is that right? Four year starter that went 45 and eight at Texas. I hope he's not listening. I still remember when he got hurt against Bama. That stunk, ruined the game. It was terrible. Obviously. Texas, Ohio State. 24 hours from now, we'll be in like the second quarter maybe. Guys, wait until you hear the bets coming in on this game. I'll do that in a second. And we got Cardell Jones, the former Ohio State quarterback also had a cup of coffee with the Buffalo Bills. He's in the final hour. All right, let's just bust right into it. Three monster games this weekend in college football. I will fire the. I bet two of these in Vegas and probably shouldn't say where I'm betting anyways. Here, here are my three bets for week one in college football. Let's get started with the big game. Texas, well, actually that's Ohio State. Michigan. Let's just call it a massive game. The biggest opener in forever. Texas, Ohio State. Folks, I'm on Ohio State here and I got a terrible line. It was Ohio State -2 and a half a week ago when I was in Vegas. Ohio State's now an underdog. The line has flipped now for the hardcore gamblers out there, it hasn't cross through three. Three is the most key number in football. Obviously the games you go back 20, 50 years end on three because of field goals. Somebody went into, I'm not going to say the casino, but in Vegas this week and laid a $550,000 bet. Yes, over half a million on Texas. That moved the line at this one casino. Every other casino then follows. And now we have Ohio State as an underdog at home. Folks, I love, love, love the Buckeyes here at home, it's just archbanning height. Or you could call this dumb money. This is all public money. This isn't Sharp Betters. And for everybody who's like, oh my gosh, that's huge money. You got to take Texas. Just take a deep breath. Remember, no emotions. Last weekend, everyone and their mom was on Kansas State against Iowa State. Everybody lines moving Ohio. Kansas State loses. Everybody loses. But Iowa State comes up with a victory. I'm just telling you, I like Ohio State here. I think it's convincing. I'll go 27, 13. And I'm not going to overreact to Arch stinking up the joint. I Think it's going to be a struggle. Come on. Gotta go on the road for the first start of the season in Columbus. It's gonna be juiced up in the shoe. I have at least four friends going that I know of now and I'll be texting Leinert, my, my basketball teammate. Going to be a good one on Fox tomorrow at noon. Next up, let's go Clemson. And LSU is a good one and I'm buying the Clemson hype. I'm going with the Tigers -4 at home against LSU. At some point Brian Kelly's going to figure out how to win an opener. I just don't think it's this week. Nussmeier, who, who we had some good stuff on earlier this week here from a guest here on the show. He's got a tall order against this Clemson front. It is really nasty and I am going with cade Clubnik and company to win. I'll go Clemson 31, LSU 21. Final game, Notre Dame, Miami. The Catholics versus the Convicts. Are we still calling it that? I don't know. Is that, am I going to get canceled for that? I like Notre Dame on the road minus two and a half. Carson Beck returns, but Marcus Freeman is just too good. I think he bottles up. The Miami offense is a slobber knocker. I'll go 17 13. Irish take down the cane. So those are my three bets and let's get to Colton McCoy, former Texas quarterback, former NFL quarterback. He had a 13 year career. Colt McCoy. Dude, you look so comfortable right now. Cole, how you doing, man? You fired up?

Colt McCoy (6:38)

Am I too casual right here?

Jason Fitz (6:39)

You just look happy. I mean, like, dude, I can't wait 24 hours from now. Texas, Ohio State. Listen, everybody's talking about Arch Manning, you know, something about being a Texas quarterback. A lot of spotlight on this game. I don't know what, what do you think the vibe is around Arch? It's tough to stay chill with this kind of media.

Colt McCoy (6:59)

Yeah, no question. I mean, listen, one versus two to start the season. It doesn't get any better than that as a fan. Lots of hype around Texas, you know, playing the defending national champions. You know, I've been to Columbus one time. I was just holding a clipboard. But that's a, that's a tough place to play, a loud environment. You know, there's a lot of talent at Texas and some inexperience. It's just going to have to grow up quick. But, man, I think, I think everyone's fired up to watch this one now.

Jason Fitz (7:26)

Obviously you are one of the biggest Texas guys ever to play the position there. I am curious, have you. Have you talked to at all this week, Arch, or anyone on the coaching staff? Or are you trying to step back and, hey, you guys do your thing. I'm just going to enjoy the game.

Colt McCoy (7:41)

You know, I've talked to a few guys. I've talked to Arch. I mean, listen, you know, the number one in the country doesn't matter right now. They are. I think they have their sights set on, you know, their goals and, you know, being able to play in a game like this on the road to start the season is. Is awesome. But I also don't think it's detrimental if you were to lose this game, either team. You know, there's a. This is a long season, and both these quarterbacks, both these teams are extremely talented. I think Ohio State probably has the edge in some ways, right? They change coordinators. They know everything about Texas. Texas staff has remained the same. And so it's going to be good on good to start the first half. And I think out of that, you'll see some adjustments being made by Sark and, and by Coach Day, but it's going to be a fun matchup. I mean, I think that the quarterbacks are the. Are the big one, and, you know, you're playing on the road in a loud environment, eliminating mistakes in every drive with a kick. Like, there's a lot of little coaching cliches you can use, but it is going to be. It is going to be electric, that's for sure.

Jason Fitz (8:47)

All right, we're talking to Colt McCoy, former Texas quarterback. So I'm sorry, you said you talked to Art, so I have to ask, you know, is there any way to detect if he's nervous? I know you. I. I'm. I'm not asking you to, like, crush the kid. This is like. I know he started a couple games, but come on, man. This is really the. What. This is the showcase, the big opening of a guy that we've been hearing about for, like, what, four years now.

Colt McCoy (9:12)

Yeah, listen, I mean, you know, I, you know, his message to me was, man, it's about time to go cut it loose. And that. That fired me up. So this is what you go to Texas to play for. You get to go to Ohio State. You get to go play Florida at Florida this year. You get to go to Georgia. You get to play Oklahoma in the Cotton Bowl. I mean, as a quarterback, any kid that's growing up in America, I mean, this is. This is a dream for Anybody. And so I think Arch has done a great job of kind of honing. Walking in is a different football team than it was last year. There's good leadership. He's waiting his turn. And listen, there's going to be ups and downs for sure. Every quarterback has them right? And so I think, you know, for this game is trust your defense, trust your coaching staff, trust the guys around you. You got great running backs, you got good tight ends, great receivers. You know, the offensive line is a little bit inexperienced, but, but they're really talented up front. And, you know, to the extent that you can eliminate as much of the distractions as you can and just go play football, that's, that's going, you know, the test. And listen, I mean, I, there's a, there's a last name on his jersey that, that, you know, that matters. His family has had so much success and there's such good, good guys and good representations of all things football. But Arch wants to go create his own. He wants to, he wants, he's his own guy. And I'm fired up to watch.

Jason Fitz (10:30)

I know you get asked about Arch a billion times, but I, I, I have to ask this one because Steve Spurrier brought it up and then Urban Meyer. I've talked about it, but I'm not. Who cares what I say? Do we know if Arch Manning is good, Colt? I mean, he's, he's flashed against UTSA and some lesser programs. He didn't, he famously did not throw a pass against Georgia in the SEC Championship. Did not throw a pass in the, in the playoff like I thought maybe he would have been used in some kind of packages. They didn't really do anything. And then Spurrier said, hey, he couldn't beat out Quinn Ewers. Quinn Ewers is a seventh round draft pick. So do I know. It's a tough question. Do we know if Arch Manning is good?

Colt McCoy (11:10)

Listen, you don't know if anybody's good until they, so they go out there and play, right? Like, you know, if you play quarterback in Texas, outside of me, you know, I was hardly ranked, but all these guys are the top quarterback in the country when they come here. And you all have to go out there and prove it, you know, and I think he has a great opportunity to go do that. I mean, I don't, I know Arch pretty decent. I don't think he's thinking about that at all. I think his one focus right now is what do I have to do to go beat Ohio State? And then what do I have to do the next week. And I think he's. He's been around the game long enough to understand, like, there's a big difference between talking about things and going out there and doing it. And so we'll find out. I think you look at this matchup saying, hasn't played much. Arch hasn't played much. These teams will really understand their makeup. When these guys make a mistake, when they turn the ball over, how they respond, how they answer, that's going to be. That's going to be the test for both teams. These teams are incredibly talented. It's going to be an awesome matchup for any fan in the country to watch. Watch.

Jason Fitz (12:09)

But.

Colt McCoy (12:09)

But it's not going to be pretty. It's not going to be perfect. I mean, the difference between these guys and. And the NFL is that there's no preseason. You've just been playing against each other the whole time. And so when. When the bullets are live, when the lights come on, like, you got to go play. And I think. I think both teams, both quarterbacks are chomping at the bit to just, we're finally here. We finally get to go do it. Let's go see where we're at. And. And that will determine this game. And then, you know, moving forward throughout the year, these. Both. These teams have extremely high expectations, as they should. So be fun.

Jason Fitz (12:42)

You made a point earlier. Again, this isn't. This is glossed overlock as. Everybody's just talking About Arch Manning vs. Jeremiah Smith. Four new offensive linemen for the Longhorns. Now, I don't. I don't recall your offensive line. Did you ever play behind that rebuilt of a line? And what can we expect out of the gate from the four new guys?

Colt McCoy (12:59)

Yeah, exactly. I mean, throughout my. I mean, I played quarterback. You lose one guy and, you know, your backup comes in. It's kind of. You might lose a little bit of sleep before. That's a. That's a. That's a challenge. But I think, you know, Coach Stark has done a phenomenal. I think he's the best in the country at recruiting and retaining talent and developing that talent. These guys have waited a long time to play. There was very established starters on that offensive line last year. Some of these guys got reps. But it's going to be. It's going to be tough. I've been to Ohio State. I was holding the clipboard my freshman year, and you don't hear a thing. So these guys, the communication, you're on, the styling count, all of that is a. Is a real issue. And so I think Texas is the most talented football team in America. I don't know that very many people would argue with me on that, but they lack a little bit of experience, especially up front. And to the extent they can grow up quick, that's going to be the difference.

Jason Fitz (13:55)

Now, I'm looking at your history here, and you beat Ohio State in the Fiesta Bowl. Is there any bad blood between these two? Or just they haven't played enough? Or is it just like, hey, we all five star recruits across the board, we're going to, we're going to beat you up.

Colt McCoy (14:11)

Ohio State's good every year. They're always going to have talent. I mean, we played Netsiesta Bowl. I was lining up against two of the smartest football players I think I've played against. Marcus Freeman was playing linebacker. James Laurinatis is playing linebacker. They had a, they had a squad on defense, Malcolm Jenkins. So every, I mean, Ohio State every year is going to have talent just like Texas. That's why this, that's why a matchup like this is so much fun. But I can tell you one thing. It's never going to be easy. It's not easy to go into something, somebody else's house and beat them, especially when you're wearing, you know, the number one ranking, you know, everywhere you go. So I expect it to be an incredibly fun game to watch. It's the first game of the year, probably going to be a little bit sloppy across the board, but the team who doesn't turn the ball over, you know, eliminates the penalties and ends every drive with a kick is probably going to be the team that comes out on top.

Jason Fitz (15:04)

Can we take anything away from that Ohio State, Texas playoff game last year or. The rosters are just so different, two new quarterbacks that we should just like kind of exit out because Jeremiah Smith did nothing in that game, if memory serves. They kind of schemed him out, but it didn't matter because they had other dudes.

Colt McCoy (15:22)

Yeah, exactly. I mean, you certainly have to account for Jeremiah Smith. I mean, I wouldn't be opposed to putting two guys on the whole game and playing with nine guys on defense and saying, you know, Julian saying, beat me.

Jason Fitz (15:35)

Right?

Colt McCoy (15:37)

But. But I think Ohio State, again I mentioned this, has a little bit of an advantage in that, you know, they know Texas scheme, you know, the coordinators haven't changed. Texas on the other side, like Ohio State may. May open up the very beginning of the game and, you know, different personnel groups, they might show a different look on defense that You've never prepared for. And so that, you know, watching the tablet on the sideline, making adjustments, coming out of the house, those. That's going to be a big deal first game. But I mean, you can study players, you know, players, you know their skill sets. And so I think, I think from a, from a matchup standpoint, it's pretty even across the board.

Jason Fitz (16:15)

Wow. I am looking. You're right. Jeremiah Smith, one catch for three yards against Tech. Now you guys had the kid Baron, who was a high draft pick, very good. But. But it seems like offensively is where the struggles were for Texas. They just couldn't get anything going.

Colt McCoy (16:31)

Yeah, I mean, I don't think they played great on offense. And you look, you know, they were at the three yard line to try to tie the game up late, late in the fourth quarter. Right. And they were right there. And so if anything, I think Texas takes the motivation in that, you know, we, you know, they ended our season last year and we get a crack at them to start the year this year. I don't know if that's bad blood, but I know if I was playing, you know, that would be in the back of my head.

Jason Fitz (16:54)

Have you seen or heard any trash talk? Because it's weird. It's usually the college kids are popping off on social media. I haven't seen much. There was one comment made that was not amazing, but I haven't seen much. Are you surprised by that?

Colt McCoy (17:08)

A little bit, but not really. I mean, listen, I think Sark and Coach Day are two of the. Two of the best coaches in college football and their culture and their program and how hard they work to build what they have. I mean, they're smart enough to know like, hey, let's let our talk and be on the field and let's, let's, you know, let's do it right. Very classy universities for sure.

Jason Fitz (17:30)

Hey, one last one before I would like to squeeze in an NFL, if you don't mind at the end. But we do have Cardell Jones on the show a little later on. Ohio State quarterback obviously won a national championship. Do you have any. A message for him perhaps and we could play it for him and do you want to get the trash talk started? The floor is yours.

Colt McCoy (17:50)

Yeah. Texas by 10. How about that, Cardell?

Jason Fitz (17:54)

That, that qualifies as track. All right, so the NFL question. So, Colt, you, you ended your career with the Arizona Cardinals. They're one of my like sleeper teams this year. I'm just curious, what was it like in the building? Kyler Murray and company. You know, we'll see what happens with Arizona.

Colt McCoy (18:13)

Yeah, I love Arizona. Tough division. I mean, listen, you got to play the Niners twice. You know, you got. You got to go up against the Rams twice. Their defense is young and. And strong. But I love K. Yeah, I would hedge my bets on Kyler, you know, every week. James Conner, great friend. They have a really good mix of guys who have a ton of experience and got a lot of reps under their belt. And then a good group of young guys had a great draft. And so I think that's very fair to say that Arizona could be a sleeper team this year. I'll always pull for them.

Jason Fitz (18:49)

Let me get in one last one. Sorry. Micah Parsons. I don't know if you heard Micah Parsons was traded.

Colt McCoy (18:54)

I mean, I'm in DFW right now. It's like. It's like Luca all over out here.

Jason Fitz (19:00)

Really.

Colt McCoy (19:02)

Feels like it.

Jason Fitz (19:04)

Wow. That bad, huh? So I'm just curious, where were you when the trade was announced? And have you been around a lot of Cowboys fans?

Colt McCoy (19:12)

I mean, there's Cowboys fans everywhere. Everywhere. I mean, listen, trades like this, you know, you can't judge this right now, you look at the Cowboys, they got four draft picks or four first round draft picks over the next two years. It may be a little short term pain for some long term game. All I know is that Michael is a. Mike is a ridiculous football player. You got to double team him every snap. He's. He's a game record. There's not very many of those guys out there and he's one of them. And so to lose a guy like that on your football team is, you know, you can't really replace that. Right? So time will tell on this one. But certainly it's been a, it's been a distraction, I think, for the last, you know, several months in Dallas. And I'm happy for, I'm happy for. For, you know, Micah, the dude's a hall of famer. I mean, and I don't. I wouldn't consider myself a Cowboys fan. I never played for the Cowboys, but I certainly live in Texas and around Cowboys fans all the time. So I just, I just love to hear the chatter every day.

Jason Fitz (20:15)

Okay, so we started with Arch. Let me get one more. Sorry, Colt. Listen, you got a great guess. You got to ask them. So you just said the Cowboys have four first round pick. We were going to. I swear it's on the docket. We were going to talk about this in like 20 minutes, but is there a world where, hey, man, if Art shows out against Ohio State, they win. Yeah, you know where I'm going, Cole. He's laughing, but, like, if he has 300 yards, three touchdowns, lock him in as the number one pick against Ohio State, I know it's a long season, but is there a world where Jerry's like, hey, we got to. We gotta. We gotta bring him home, and they want to trade up for Arch? And I know you're laughing, but listen, man, we saw Johnny Manziel go into Alabama. Absolutely cook. And it was like, who is this guy? Blew up huge stage, and he goes in the first round. Arch. It's going to hype to even going to be bigger.

Colt McCoy (21:03)

Yeah. I mean, listen, it's a long season. You know, I can certainly promise you Arch is not focused on that, but that could be realistic. Who knows? I mean, you know, Texas is poised to, you know, have a great year. If he goes out there and balls out and has an awesome year, I think, you know, more teams in the Cowboys are going to be wanting him. So you just. You never know what could happen.

Jason Fitz (21:23)

All right, Colt McCoy, sorry to keep you so long, man. It's just fun stuff. I watch it forever. It was. It was good.

Colt McCoy (21:28)

Enjoy this week, huh? Texas, Ohio State, who you got?

Jason Fitz (21:31)

I got 27, 13 buckeyes.

Colt McCoy (21:36)

Oh, my goodness.

Jason Fitz (21:37)

All right. Yeah, he's taking off. All right, Colt McCoy, thanks a lot. Really, really good stuff, buddy. Take it easy.

Colt McCoy (21:43)

Okay, thanks for having me.

Jason Fitz (21:45)

Yeah. Colt McCoy, he just seems like such a nice guy, right, Rachel? He's just, like, laid back, sitting there.

Rachel Nichols (21:50)

Drinking his coffee, right? Have a cup of coff with him.

Jason Fitz (21:53)

So we've had Colt McCoy chilling. We had Jane from her car outside.

Rachel Nichols (21:58)

Who knows what's on the scene? We are on the scene. I love he says Luca all over again. Because I do think it really felt like if you're not in Dallas, it might be hard to process, but I think it felt that way to a lot of people. It's just you keep having the rug pulled out from under us. What is happening?

Jason Fitz (22:12)

Rug pull. Look at that. Your kids use a rug pull reference. My kids, you know, you know a little about the crypto and a rug pull and meme coins. Anyways, all right, coming up next, Rachel's going to tell us which future NFL hall of Famer is lobbying for Shador to start. That's next.

Buzz Knight (24:39)

Hi, I'm Buzz Knight, the host of the Taking a Walk podcast. And join me for an upcoming episode with Sack McFar, the creator of Family Guy, talking about his new Frank Sinatra music project.

Charlie Pinion (24:50)

Anyone who loves music would salivate over something like this. The biggest question for us was, what's in these boxes? There were a few unplayed gems that we had been alerted to by Charlie Pinon of Sinatra Enterprises. So we knew that certain songs like Shadow of your Smile, which actually is not on this record, it'll be on.

Buzz Knight (25:10)

The next one, Seth McFarlane.

Charlie Pinion (25:12)

Don Rickles went up to Frank Sinatra and he said, listen, I'm gonna be having dinner with this lovely woman tonight. You know, would you come over and say hi? And just so you know. Cause I feel like if she sees that I know you, it's gonna make me look really cool and, you know, I might have a good night. During the middle of dinner, Frank walks over and says, don, hi, how are you? And Don goes, frank, please, I'm in the middle of dinner.

Angela Rye (25:41)

Hey everybody, I'm Angela Rai, co host of Native Lampa with Tiffany Cross and Andrew Gillum. Through the lens of politics and culture, we talk with you every week to make sense of this madness. I've been telling Angela, I don't even know how to fight back right now. So what I'm focused on is just looking out for ourselves.

Jason Fitz (25:59)

That's the truth. We're having the same debates that American.

Trust and Will Advertiser (26:02)

Households are having all over the country.

Angela Rye (26:04)

Rest is certainly a form of self care, but if you are watching your full neighbor starve, not be able to pay bills, your rest is selfish. But the thing is, Angela, this is not the mess we created. So I do understand black folks feeling like, you know what, y' all got it.

Jason Fitz (26:21)

We're like family, but we disagree all the time. And we love when our listeners chime in.

Tiffany, do not run to know the rural South.

That guy seemed just like a nice guy. I was just reading his Wikipedia just seems like an all around good dude. You know, he's also a good person.

Rachel Nichols (27:30)

Person.

Jason Fitz (27:31)

Rachel Nichols, she's here with the news. No, no, no, no.

Colt McCoy (27:35)

Turn on the news.

Jason Fitz (27:36)

This is the herd line news.

Rachel Nichols (27:39)

All right, so Travis and Jason Kelsey's latest podcast note Taylor Swift, but it did feature Travis campaigning for a guy not even on his team to get some playing time. Take a listen to this.

Colt McCoy (27:50)

Give the people what they want.

Jason Fitz (27:52)

Well, I'm not going to give the people what they want. What they want is an outlandish take.

Colt McCoy (27:55)

That starts it up. Yeah, for sure. I mean, listen, what do I want to watch? I want to watch Sanders.

Jason Fitz (28:04)

Yeah, people what they want.

Colt McCoy (28:06)

The world wants to see him go out there and not only play, but have success at this point, guys are rooting for him. This isn't against anything against Dylan. This isn't anything against Joe. I'm just saying the excitement is there for him to go out there. He's going to put eyes on the screen.

Rachel Nichols (28:26)

Look, I get it. The Kelsey's are from the Cleveland area. Travis is talking about, you know, he's talked a lot about growing up a Browns fan. He's come from that perspective. I don't know, man. You're an active player on another team saying what a team should do and he can say, no offense, this is nothing against Joe or Dylan, but just because you say it, it doesn't mean that you're not offending. Doesn't mean that you're not kind of out of pocket there. What do you think? Am I being too harsh?

Jason Fitz (28:56)

This is going to sound probably more harsh, but do you think he's engagement farming? After the monster numbers they did with Taylor Swift, the numbers are going to come cratering down. So let's have a Shador take. Did you hear him? He's like, you want to take.

Rachel Nichols (29:07)

No. First of all, he will never have to engagement farm in his life married to her. No, I just think, you know, they're having, they've been on a good run and when you're, when you're rolling, you're kind of looser with the takes and everything. I don't know. I really like Travis personally. I covered him, but I, I just don't think this is another. You're an active player, this is another team. Don't get involved in another team's quarterback situation. And you again, you can say no offense to Dylan or Joe. You're saying someone else should start over them.

Jason Fitz (29:37)

This is a good point. So do you think that they will now weigh in on like the Micah Parsons Jerry Jones trade with some.

Rachel Nichols (29:44)

I assume so, but that to me is a little bit less of a thing. You can weigh in on the NFL news of the day. Right.

Colt McCoy (29:50)

And.

Rachel Nichols (29:50)

And you can talk about Jerry Jones if you're an active player. Right. You're welcome to have that opinion. Right, right. But. But to start going into someone else's quarterback room and say, this guy should start over. This guy.

Jason Fitz (30:01)

Yeah. Do you think this will make the rounds in the Cleveland locker room or front office?

Rachel Nichols (30:05)

I don't know. I mean, I don't think they want to put that on the. The bulletin board because it's insulting to a couple of their players, including the guy who started.

Jason Fitz (30:11)

You know how to really diffuse this is to make Shador inactive for week one. Just two quarterbacks. There's no controversy here. We got our starter, we got our backup. He's a clipboard guy.

Rachel Nichols (30:22)

Hey, maybe Shador makes copies of this and just sort of slides it under.

Jason Fitz (30:26)

Coaching staff. Kevin Stefanski here. I forget about what I think.

Rachel Nichols (30:30)

There you go. All right. We are dealing with the aftermath of the trade heard around the world. Michael lands in Green bay to a four year, $188 million contract. With that 47 million per year salary, resetting the market for defensive players by nearly $6 million. On the green Bay side of things, this means the packers will have a front four with two Pro Bowlers. And particularly, I mean, you got to count Parsons and Rashawn Gary as one of the most formidable pass rush combos in the entire league. What impact do you expect this to make on the North? On the NFC North?

Jason Fitz (31:03)

Yeah, I think they win the division. I mean, they have two better. Their top two defenders are. Well, actually Aiden Hutchinson's real good. Yeah, but.

Rachel Nichols (31:12)

And they're negotia. Lions are negotiating that contract right now.

Jason Fitz (31:15)

Okay, so Micah, Gary, they. They did lose Jair Alexander the cornerback. So corner is a little light, but with the pass rush, you know, and.

Rachel Nichols (31:25)

They just apparently sent the most important run stopping tackle in history to the Cowboys, so.

Colt McCoy (31:30)

Oh, geez.

Jason Fitz (31:32)

Yeah. Gary Brooks, Wyatt, Parsons. They need a nickname for those guys. By the way, listening to Colt McCoy, or maybe it was Jane Slater, I forgot who said it, but Micah landing in Green Bay is good. It's maybe a little off the spotlight of Dallas. I'm just curious, how do you think that plays for Micah? He's now away from. You don't need to be outlandish. There's not media in your face every day. Do you think he instantly goes in and is a Little more chill. Hey, like the Cowboys traded you, bro, you need to be. You got humbled a little bit.

Rachel Nichols (32:05)

Well, look, Luka definitely reacted to being surprise traded by Dallas. You know, he obviously got in great shape. He heard all the talk about how, you know, slovenly he was and all of that stuff. That is some of the words he is. So. So, yeah, I think, I think it makes you think like, oh man, they traded me. But I think Jane hit on a good point, which is that there aren't the cameras in your face that can catch you off guard. That Dallas Cowboys locker room, you know, I've been in both of those locker rooms and the Cowboys locker rooms. You have so many people with phones and cameras and everything, microphone in your face. And any One of those 30 people gathered around your locker can trip you up and you can say something. In Green Bay, it's just a smaller media market, right? So there's only every day at practice, it's just a much smaller contingent, maybe 10 guys, that kind of thing. And so you're not going to have some of the trip up potential. But what's different in today's world, and you were just talking about this with the podcast and everything else, there isn't really a small market anymore in terms of like advertising power or media presence. It used to be like, oh man, you go to Oklahoma City as a basketball player, you know you're screwed. Well, Russell Westbrook has like a million commercials when he was there, right? So it doesn't, it doesn't play that way anymore. I actually think that is a good split for Micah. He actually just. And he still a social media presence. He just tweeted a few minutes ago, which number should he wear? Should he wear number 0 or number 1? He's asking. I11 is not retired in Green Bay. It belongs to a rookie right now. So I don't know what that's about.

Jason Fitz (33:35)

Yeah, how did you research that? All right, so he's going to go 0 or 1.

Rachel Nichols (33:38)

That's what he said.

Jason Fitz (33:39)

What is that? Like, what do you think? That's a sign. Like I'm starting over zero.

Rachel Nichols (33:42)

Maybe one. I don't know. But he's getting attention still. He still doesn't matter size the market. He's still, he's still out other.

Jason Fitz (33:49)

Okay, Rachel with the news. There we go. Well, that's the news and thanks for stopping by the Herd lie news. All right, coming up next, so we teased this with Colt McCoy, but this Dallas setup with four first round picks over the next two years, their own in 26 and 27 and the packers in 26, 27. Do they make a big move for a certain quarter quarterback who's playing 24 hours from now on Fox. We'll talk about that next.

Hi, I'm Buzz Knight, the host of the Taking a Walk podcast. And join me for an upcoming episode with Seth McFarlane, the creator of Family Guy, talking about his new friends Frank Sinatra Music project.

Charlie Pinion (35:39)

Anyone who loves music would salivate over something like this. The biggest question for us was, what's in these boxes? There were a few unplayed gems that we had been alerted to by Charlie Pinion of Sinatra Enterprises. So we knew that certain songs like Shadow of your Smile, which actually is not on this record, it'll be on the next one. Seth MacFarlane, Don Rickles went up to Frank Sinatra. He said, listen, I'm going to be having dinner with this lovely woman and I, you know, would you come over and say hi? And just so you know, Cause I feel like if she sees that I know you, it's gonna make me look really cool and you know, I might have a good night. During the middle of dinner, Frank walks over and says, don, hi, how are you? And Don goes, frank, please, I'm in the middle of dinner.

Angela Rye (36:31)

Hey everybody, I'm Angela Rye, co host of Native Lamp with Tiffany Cross and Andrew Gillum through the of politics and culture. We talk with you every week to make sense of this madness. I'VE been telling Angela, I don't even know how to fight back right now. So what I'm focused on is just looking out for ourselves.

Jason Fitz (36:49)

That's the truth. We're having the same debates that American.

Trust and Will Advertiser (36:51)

Households are having all over the country.

Angela Rye (36:53)

Rest is certainly a form of self care, but if you are watching your full neighbors starve, not be able to pay bills, your rest is selfish. But the thing is, Angela, this is not the mess we created. So I do understand black folks feeling like, you know what, y' all got it.

Jason Fitz (37:10)

We're like family, but we disagree all the time. And we love when our listeners chime in.

Angela Rye (37:16)

What would happen if we built our own little Wakandan communities in the rural South?

Charlie Pinion (37:21)

Tiffany, do not run to no rural South.

Colt McCoy (37:23)

I don't know what you're on.

Angela Rye (37:25)

Rachel Nichols (38:14)

Since the moment it was announced, everyone's had this matchup circled. Jason's betting on it. It's a big deal. The Arch Manning era kicks off with a playoff rematch for the ages is number one, Texas takes on defending national champion number three, Ohio State State on Big noon Saturday. Coverage begins, of course, with big noon kickoff live from Columbus, 9am Eastern, tomorrow only on Fox.

Jason Fitz (38:40)

Happy Labor Day weekend, everybody. I mean, it's going to be a big one, obviously. College football Labor Day for me growing up on the east coast used to signal the start of the school year. You'd start the Tuesday after Labor Day, of course, out here in California. We started like two weeks ago. Whatever. However, I would always celebrate going back to school. I, you know, I like seeing my friends hanging out, dominating pe, all that fun stuff. I did dominate PE anyways yesterday when the Micah Parsons trade went down. I haven't seen anyone at FS1 as excited this year as I saw Greg Jennings, he looked like he was celebrating going back to school. Here he is, is the former packers receiver right after the trade was announced on on Fox. First things first. Listen, Historically. Yeah, exactly.

Rachel Nichols (39:32)

I don't need any notes.

Colt McCoy (39:33)

Obviously I'm excited.

Jason Fitz (39:35)

I've never seen you so giddy. Like literally. Literally.

Colt McCoy (39:38)

I saw the news, heard the news, and my heart, I'm like, you got to be kidding. And then I see that it's real.

Jason Fitz (39:44)

And I'm like, championship, let's go. You gotta love that. Listen, as a Jets fan, I would love for the jets to get a quarterback and I would go bonkers like that here on the Herd. Now I quickly want to just call up the packers schedule because folks, they're favored in their first eight games of the season. I don't want to go overboard with super bowl hype. They are favored now because they're at home in a lot of these games and obviously Dallas ain't great. The week four game against Dallas, they're favored one and a half at Jerry World. I don't. That's like early game of the season. I mean, Ravens, Bills are going to be amazing. Chiefs, Chargers should be good. But that game is the Micah revenge game against Jerry. I would. You know, he's gonna be going after his guy, Dak Prescott. But again, again, these are the quarterbacks that like Green Bay. They're missing P. You could argue. I'm sorry, you could argue that their missing piece for their super bowl team was a blue chip superstar coming off the edge that you have to scheme for. You just have to. And right out of the gate you get Jared Goff. Then you get Jaden Daniels. Those are two top 12 quarterbacks. The brown stuff. Dak, whatever. Joe Burrow. So three of your first five opponents have awesome quarterbacks. Kyler Murray, he's no slouch. He's probably in the 15 to 17 range. You know, I feel for Aaron Rodgers having to face Micah Parsons. That's not going to go well. Who doesn't matter about Bryce Young. But then you get the Eagles matchup and I don't want to go overboard. Let's see. Week 10 against the Eagles. That is a. Ooh, Monday night game. I'm going to go on record. I want the staff to just flag this so I can flex on it in January when Eagles, Packers. Week 10 is a NFC championship game preview. The only team that can stop him is the Niners. I don't even think there's like a close fourth in the nfc. I like the Rams, but I. We'll see. So then you got Giants, Vikings there. They have quarterback issues. And down the stretch you get that Lamar game late. There are a bunch of Fox Games, 1pm in November. Oh, shoot. We get Micah Parsons on Thanksgiving at Detroit. Gosh, this is just awesome. We're so lucky. I mean, you guys. So I went to a dad dinner last night. Like, three dads I know are celebrating their birthday and all these guys, I haven't seen some of these guys in, you know, summer. And they're just like, dude, you have the best job. And I'm like, I don't always think about it like that, but I kind of do. I just talk about sports. And, yeah, you're going to say some stuff and tick people off. And, you know, if I look at my phone and Jerry Jones is texting me, you know, stop bashing me. You're wrong. That would be cool. All of Chicago hates me right now. Josh Allen's fan base in Buffalo is very upset at me because I said Jalen Hurts was the best dual threat quarterback in the league. Let me just clarify that he has an unstoppable play that Josh Allen tried against the Chiefs and failed three times. Okay, I digress. But it's like, that's what we do. We talk about this, and then you get a neutron bomb. Like the Cowboys trading Michael Parsons. It's like, unbelievable. But guess what? The fun doesn't stop there because tomorrow, in 22 and a half hours, my math is fuzzy. I'm just, just so excited. Talking about sports, we get Arch Manning against Ohio State from the horseshoe on Fox, and like, again, I'm. This is not meant to be a flex. I'm just hashtag blessed. I know that sounds so nerdy, but, like, it's just awesome. Like, Saturday, I'm. I'm going to watch college football, take notes like a nerd, and then, you know, come in on Monday, Tuesday, and we're going to just do it all again. We are so fortunate that football's back. Back. I don't think you guys realize the off season is here. Here's a truth bomb. I told a couple guys on the staff earlier this week, I'm done talking about the Cowboys. I swear I said this. I was like, I can't do it. There's nothing here. Micah's not getting traded. Why would they do. The packers aren't doing that. Everybody who's come on our show, all these guys who cover the league, they come out and say it. That that's not what the packers do. Jerry's not done Dumb Jerry signs these deals at the last moment. I was done with the packers, done with the Cowboys. It's not happening. And then we get this amazing story and now the next layer. Okay, we've been to Milk some time here to lead up to this. So we're in the morning meeting and it's like, oh, Dallas now has four first round picks in the next two years. Okay, well, they have Dash Dak as one of our guys. Noted date Dak Dax, earliest outs like 20, 28. They're not going after Arch Manning. Did we miss Just not watch Jerry Jones milk the entire summer for headlines? You don't think if they win five or six games this year, he's not going to be like, oh, Arch crushed it. He beat Ohio State. He won the Natty or lost or won the high school. Whatever. He's coming out. You don't think he's going to be like, go get me, me Arch Manning. Let's figure it out. I mean, at this point, guys, and I don't want to go overboard, I do firmly believe all bets are off with Jerry Jones. He talked all summer about extending Micah and then ended up trading. We all think that was largely a dumb move. A couple guys were pushing back about how it could work out. Yeah, it could work out in three years. Maybe. Maybe they get lucky like the Mavericks do. Did with Cooper Flag. Otherwise, honestly, Nico Harrison would be, you know, the GM of a team in China right now if they didn't get lucky with Cooper Flag. Seriously. Now, I. It's a little different with Jerry Jones because he owns the team. But again, you. You see that, like, podium stuff yesterday where he's meeting the media after the trade. He just sounds wacky. So Arch Manning. The idea of Arch in Dallas is interesting. I've pumped the brain brakes. I think Rachel's pumped the brakes. Was it Albert Breer? Somebody else pumped the brakes? Slow down. Well, here's Urban Meyer talking about our span. I actually laughed out loud at this on the Joel Klatt show.

Colt McCoy (46:08)

Arch Manning hasn't done a thing yet.

Jason Fitz (46:10)

I'm hearing the word Heisman. I'm hearing the word national champion, first pick overall.

Colt McCoy (46:14)

And I went back and re.

Jason Fitz (46:15)

Watched it just recently.

Colt McCoy (46:17)

He's a good player. I mean, he's a really good player.

Jason Fitz (46:19)

But he's not, you know, get. Get a couple first down. Get a couple for. That's good. But just to be clear, Urban, it's not people saying this. The Vegas odds are Arch is the favorite. The AP voters said Texas is number one. The pundits are saying Arch going number one in the mock drafts. I'm one of those guys. But fine, whatever. So it's not just people are saying this about hype for architects, like it's legit, whether it's wagers, people who follow, you know, the draft and gambling. Like it's all about Arch right now. And yeah, we could. All right, here's DEZ Bryant chiming in. Oh, here we go. Of course, Rachel, there it is. DEZ Bryant chiming in. Arch Manning will have a star on his helmet. Nobody can tell me different. DEZ Bryant jumping into the conversation, okay.

Rachel Nichols (47:15)

But Dak Prescott has a no trade clause. That's the other thing. It's not just that he signed through 28. He has a no trade clause. So there is that. There's also. I don't want to kill anyone's exciting fantasy sports here, but putting Arch on the Cowboys. But if you are at the bottom or the top of the draft. The bottom of the league, right? And you have a high enough draft pick, let's say Arch does all the things you're saying. Heisman winner, great record, all the stuff. Now, Matty, don't you think the team that's in the number one or number two spot is going to want, like if you're the Cleveland Browns, right, And you get the number one pick, which is not far fetched. I don't care how many draft picks Jerry has, I'm not trading that pick. They've had more quarterbacks in Cleveland since they came back into the league in 99 than any other team in the league. They have to solve this problem. So if Arch really turns out to be the guy that everyone's projecting him to be, I don't know if he's going to be available to trade up and get. It just sort of depends on how that top of the draft, you know, shakes out. And depends, of course, what Dallas has to offer. Where are those draft picks? You know, do the packers win the super bowl or at least are they in the Super Bowl? So those, those picks are what, 30, 31, you know, so I just, I see a lot of obstacles, but it's fun, you know, Dez Bryant, you talk your talk.

Jason Fitz (48:33)

Yeah. Here's Colt McCoy earlier on the show when I asked him straight up, do we know if Arch Manning is good?

Colt McCoy (48:41)

Listen, you don't know if anybody's good until they, till they go out there and play, right? Like, you know, if you going to play quarterback in Texas, outside of me, you know, I was hardly ranked. But all These guys are the top quarterback in the country when they come here, and you all have to go out there and prove it. These teams are incredibly talented. It's going to be an awesome matchup for any fan in the country to watch.

Jason Fitz (49:02)

But.

Colt McCoy (49:02)

But it's not going to be pretty. It's not going to be perfect. I mean, the difference between these guys and, and the NFL is there's no preseason. You're playing against each other the whole time. And so when. When the Bullets are live, when the lights come on, like, you got to go play.

Jason Fitz (49:18)

Sorry to get excited for Coltman. He looks and sounds like the kind of guy, Rachel, who, if you're going on vacation and you text your neighbor, hey, Amazon delivered a package. Would you mind grabbing it? He would do it in a heartbeat and it would be like, no problem. But, yeah, I just like the cut of his jib a lot. And anyways, the problem with sports Rachel, is it's so fun to speculate about this Arch Manning stuff. First, this is what I just did when you were like, dak has a no trade. And we know that. Do you want to guess where Dak Prescott's from? Tell me, Jason Sulphur, L.A. you know who also doesn't have a quarterback? The Saints. Is there any way. No, I know Archman England, but like, I'm hyping this is what we do with sports fans. It's like, would Dak want to go home to. I mean, what.

Rachel Nichols (50:04)

This is why tomorrow's game is so exciting. I mean, the ratings for this are going to be off the charts because the possibility that this kid gives us, it's exciting, it's hopeful. We loved these quarterbacks when it was his uncles, right? And Cooper, his father was the most athletic of all of them. Unfortunately had a really bad neck injury, but that's why he didn't make it in the NFL the way his brothers did. His grandfather, obviously a legend. You know, it's funny. I have a question for you, Jason. You know how we count Taylor Swift visit, You know, in the, in the. In a Chiefs broadcast, how many times do we see Taylor Swift? How many times? Which Mannings do you think will show up tomorrow at the game? And how many times do you think we'll see them?

Jason Fitz (50:42)

I'll be shocked if they're not all there.

Rachel Nichols (50:43)

You think they're all there?

Jason Fitz (50:46)

Yeah, I think it's going to be all of them. Probably Matthew McConaughey, right? He's going to make it.

Rachel Nichols (50:52)

But using Taylor Swift as a line. Are you over under Taylor Swift, Swifts of how many times, how much we'll see the Mannings.

Jason Fitz (50:59)

Well, I guess it's dependent on how Arch does. I mean, if he's vomiting all over himself and struggling, probably not going to show him more. Oh, geez. Yeah, I don't know. What's your guess on how he does? Do you think he can win tomorrow?

Rachel Nichols (51:13)

I am with you. I think Ohio State's winning that game. If it was in Texas, that might be a different story. Yeah, that is a, you know, such a high pressure place to play. And I brought this up on the show about the Michigan Wolverines are the only team to win in the shoe since 2021. No other team has even been able to win there. So the idea that a rookie quarterback, basically, I know he played a couple games last year, but is going to be able to, with all these expectations on him, is going to be able to walk in and do the thing no one else has ever done. It's possible, but.

Jason Fitz (51:44)

Yeah, I mean, anything's possible.

Rachel Nichols (51:45)

But I'd put my money, as you did on Ohio State. And by the way, it's okay. It's okay if he doesn't do great tomorrow.

Jason Fitz (51:54)

I mean, he's got a won't be okay for the pundits who are waiting. That's the thing. You've been a media, you know, you've seen this, the build up.

Rachel Nichols (52:02)

Oh, it's tear down. Yep.

Jason Fitz (52:04)

Like Baker Mayfield. Oh, my God, he's garbage. You know, that's what people do in this industry. Not. I mean, we're all guilty of it sometimes. The hype machine.

Rachel Nichols (52:13)

It's not just us. I mean, you know, society has become so polarized and there is no middle anymore. Right. Either someone's off or they're the best thing going. And it's true in politics. It's true, you know, on the radio when people call in about different things. It's just where our society is right now. And I think it's because of social media. If you don't have a take, if you don't have a big take, you're not getting those retweets. Right.

Jason Fitz (52:34)

That's a good topic. We should tear up the final hour and do that. Coming up next, are the Packers super bowl contenders? Well, duh. But what does this do to the Cowboys? That's next.

Search Katie Couric on Substack and hit subscribe. I'll be there, reporting live, most likely in my vagina. See you there.

I'm Jake Hofer and this is back 40, a limited series show on Wire to Hunt, part of Meat Eaters Podcast Network. Each episode I'll be asking eight whitetail hunting pros a focused, thought provoking question about hunting and land management. How do I hunt the best part of the farm with less than ideal access?

Colt McCoy (54:02)

Should you?

Jason Fitz (54:03)

That's what the real question is.

Colt McCoy (54:04)

Stand without good access is not a good stand.
