00:00after the show and watch a little practice i'll tell you what was impressive is you know all of
00:06the fans they kind of they could under they saw all the players coming into our tent yeah and they
00:13all they all had their their balls and their hats out their jerseys they wanted all signed so much
00:17screaming so much screaming oh it's all the screaming and i can understand why someone like
00:22terry wouldn't go up there because he would be there for two hours right but chig he he went
00:28up there he signed for like a half hour yeah yeah he was he was really gracious with his time
00:32i mean
00:33that was really cool terry isn't i'm sure he does i'm sure he signs too but he can't do it
00:37after
00:37every practice but reeves and mclaurin and and nick cross yeah just did the interview and then got out
00:43of there although mclaurin was talking to jp's daughter for a long yeah he was very cool with
00:48her uh signed her signed her ball but chig was up there signing for a while i know yeah he's
00:54a good
00:54dude that was pretty cool he's got a little more free time than jeremy reeves we learned
00:57it's why yeah jeremy reeves his schedule is insane super crazy oh no he's up he's been up for an
01:04hour
01:04and a half yeah another reason why i'm big on chig i didn't know that you're so gracious with this
01:08time with the autograph seekers i mean i just i just think a big year and you know what you
01:13saw the
01:13clip yesterday of jayden throwing in the touchdown at the end of yeah the offense i thought about that
01:18i watched it live yeah yeah was that pretty cool yeah i mean they did the so they were doing
01:23like
01:23the two minute drills or whatever yeah yeah the end of game end of half situations and sam hartman
01:28you know did okay he threw a dime to digs i think they ended up scoring uh but it was
01:34like a 10 play
01:35drive right it was like a slog but they got it they got it there they got it down jayden
01:39got out there
01:40two passes one to digs one to chig touchdown rang the bell literally in about 20 seconds that's right
01:46cool um but i thought a lot about that play where chig just busted him wide open up the middle
01:52and
01:52just took off nobody was near him i was like and then just having him sit down with us yeah
01:57and and
01:58and just looking at him yeah and knowing his skill set why can't he be a top five tight end
02:03in football
02:03why can't he be give me a reason why i can't i mean what what does he have what is
02:07he lacking if he
02:08gets enough balls thrown his way why couldn't he like but he can't catch that could potentially be his
02:12ceiling yeah i don't see why it wouldn't be i mean he's got every like he's young he's a perfect
02:18athletic he's a he's a mismatched nightmare for yeah with his good speed i mean hard to tackle i
02:24don't know why he couldn't catch i mean maybe it's not in the offense why couldn't he catch 100 balls
02:27i mean i said 70 yesterday listen i think 70 is crazy too i agree but i mean it's just
02:32saying in a
02:33perfect world why couldn't he catch 100 balls he's got every well you gotta throw to him if he got
02:37yeah
02:38if you throw to him that much he got targeted like trey mcbride or somebody of that
02:43powers then he would catch on maybe he doesn't many weapons i mean maybe he doesn't have as much
02:48wiggle as those guys maybe he doesn't have i don't believe some sort of characteristic that they have
02:52there's a reason why there's no way some of those guys were drafted much higher than him yeah well
02:58he could be getting better tom brady's dropped in the sixth round i mean i didn't draft where you
03:01drafted means nothing you look at him he's got all of the ability it doesn't mean you can't overcome
03:06it but it does mean something i think maybe big year burke's nothing
03:13chig year and i think it's gonna be a big year i think he's got all the tools i literally
03:17look at
03:17him and go there's nothing holding that guy back and he's got nothing good bubbly personality right
03:23he's a fun guy he's a nice guy yeah it was a busted coverage though that's okay uh sure times
03:29you take
03:29he's got the speed i mean he's just got the speed and the athleticism that i just don't see any
03:35reason the build and the just everything about him just oozes superstar actually i hope my opinion
03:41hope you're right yeah now if he catches 40 balls i'll say tip my cat you guys are right he
03:46he's
03:47mediocre i think he's gonna have a big year i think he's better than mediocre way better than
03:51he got a little jacked when the cake said you're gonna catch 70 balls and he said
03:55i hope so well that's the plan that'd be fantastic he's got to deal with digs and
03:59well so he's got mcclellan understood true that's the bulk of the kid jayden likes throwing the ball
04:05to tight ends and david blouse system is tight end friendly yeah so like the the recipe is there
04:11for chig to have a breakout year i don't know how many targets he had last year but he had
04:15cam ward
04:15throwing to him i'm gonna guess he probably had in the 70s 75 maybe low 80s yeah something like that
04:21i mean if you're gonna give him 110 targets like he gets like a kyle pitts if he gets 110
04:26targets he's
04:26catching 80 80 balls i can't remember i'm guessing he won't get that many probably not i can't remember
04:31who was a quarterback at the end it might have been the kid um caliak man the last pass of
04:38the period
04:39which i saw which ended was a pick yes i can't remember who was a qb it wasn't jayden was
04:46that
04:46hartman or was it caliak manis it was ak yeah who picked it uh 35 percy butler maybe i'm not
04:53sure
04:53if that's correct by the way getting back to chig for a second his high in targets in his career
04:58last year 79 in his career he's at 46 77 70 79 all right 79 so they started throwing to
05:06him more
05:07last year one more and more every year because he's obviously so talented yeah and those coming
05:12backs are no good a 56 catch campaign last yeah i think the 70 mark is a really good target
05:17definitely
05:18within reach uh i'm just super are you ready to bet drop i see that i'm rocking so i'm ready
05:24to i mean
05:24you're just getting so carried away 110 targets i mean no he's not gonna i didn't say he's going to
05:30get 110 no i know i said he got if he got that if he got kyle pitts target he
05:34wouldn't there's no way
05:35he's chig he's he got digs and terry right he's going to get 70 targets if he's lucky no he's
05:42gonna
05:42i'll bet you that right now i'll bet you see i'm very vulnerable right now this is a very he
05:48was a
05:48very nice guy i guy i liked him yesterday has his high in targets is 79 last year i'll just
05:56i'll go
05:56over 79 i'll go he gets 80 plus targets that's that's the bet what is that probably put if he
06:03gets if
06:04he only gets 80 plus he's or 80 ish he's probably only gonna have 55 catches i'll even give you
06:09i'll
06:09give you 85 85 targets okay i'll take it ten dollars sure damn put it in the book all right
06:18birthday bets put it in the book let's go i might make 10 bets today good i like it i
06:25would not we
06:26need some action in that bet coming out of maryland i can't do it coming out of maryland this is
06:31supporting nfl.com his prospect grade was a 5.84 he was dubbed as an average backup or special teamer
06:39i don't care you think i care about that scouting report six years ago i don't care about that one
06:45his 40 yard dash was a 452 vertical inch 35 and 452 slow that's that's for a tight end that's
06:52pretty
06:53good i'm just telling you what it is that's slow or tight end a lot of anti-chig in here
06:58look you know what i'm just telling you he's been a productive player on a bad offense for the
07:03first four years of his career now he's moving to a different offense with a way better quarterback
07:09and he's gonna be the top tight end in the offense yeah like stay on the field there's nowhere to
07:17go
07:17but up for chigs in my opinion big on chig have been get the t-shirts ready get those drabby's
07:24just
07:24anti-everything because his boys got beat 22-0 last night oh is that what it is you think i
07:29care
07:29about that largest i know you don't care about that i'm well aware uh biggest drubbing in uh over 100
07:38years i was about to say it happens but i guess it doesn't yeah they must have had position players
07:46pitching at the end of course oh i'm sure probably maybe two of them well i was watching about 63
07:53i was
07:54watching beginning of the nats game as you know it was interesting because you get to see a second
07:58start from kent and even though he gave up like five runs or so in the first outing people were
08:02pretty complimentary how the sort of the first four innings went before he got in trouble and then
08:06this one he just couldn't get out of the gate could have gotten out of his own way from the
08:11very first
08:11inning i was still only two nothing by the time i ended up heading upstairs maybe by third inning or
08:16something but i guess eventually got bad he gave up three in the third yeah yeah he's walking too many
08:21guys i mean i think he's got seven walks in his two starts yeah so not good he was he
08:27wasn't as
08:28good in his second start as his first right that's tough why don't we open up by the way the
08:32yeah go
08:33ahead i was just gonna do the read we can open up the junkie sports page so we're kind of
08:36doing
08:36a couple topics here sports page brought to you by open road that's right open road distilling
08:42whiskeys are now available at abc stores in northern virginia check them out of course go on over to
08:49their distillery and resting they got great food it's a great spot to watch games cool atmosphere
08:56um but yeah so my son was very excited when i sent him the pick of the uh the bottle
09:01of i believe
09:01it was independence bourbon independent indie bourbon yeah that i'll be uh bringing him or giving to him
09:06next time i see him oh i thought you were gonna bring it to uh to your vacay uh no
09:11i'm gonna next
09:12time i see my oldest son i'll just give it to him give it to him yeah cakes doesn't drink
09:16bourbon he drinks
09:17beer no i thought he's gonna give it bring it to the vacation where his son was gonna be
09:22right but he wasn't he couldn't make it to that he couldn't oh he wasn't there yeah he was all
09:26there all right yeah didn't know that sorry all good um why don't you jump down my throat a little
09:30bit more jp flame i mean good lord you know what people are on edge early no no i'm not
09:37he is a
09:38little bit of tension and drabby is a little bit of tension here no drabby no don't i think drabby
09:43just saw the opportunity of everyone uh everyone over yeah come on i'm not i'm not in a bad mood
09:48yeah i just see you guys getting carried away and that's an opportunity to make money
09:52i mean when when chig has like seven grabs for 80 yards and a touchdown in week one
09:59i'm just gonna be counting my ten dollars i'm just gonna look at that and say well
10:03he's a oh now he's a focal point now he's gonna have two for 22 i'm with you drabby i'm
10:08actually
10:08jealous that you got in on that opportunity it's kind of like the wizards pick where you guys just
10:14blindly thought they were going to be playing on christmas day without going i've never been such
10:19a chig fan as i am now it wasn't even the fact that we thought so much that they were
10:23playing on
10:23christmas day it was the tantalizing prospect yeah of hitting on a big bet like i didn't i didn't
10:30owe me five dollars oh yeah i do owe you five bucks that's true i i was away uh i'll
10:35i'm good i'll
10:36make you whole it was the prospect of bankrupting drab if if we got lucky yeah but the argument
10:42the argument didn't come out of thin air there was an argument on the air and it became a bet
10:46i understand you believed that the wizards were going to play on christmas day cakes didn't
10:51cakes didn't think eric was the only one who really i knew it was a long shot yeah who really
10:56getting 20 to 1 had twinkle in his eye about about them playing on christmas twinkly and i think i
11:01was
11:02somewhat somewhat vindicated they're getting more uh national games than they've gotten in forever
11:08but just not good enough to get be on christmas day by the way back to the nationals if you
11:13are
11:14paying any attention they are now eight games back in the wild card they completely waved the white
11:19flag i told you their season was over as soon as the first preseason game but the wood injury
11:26they were right there in the mix they were two weeks ago july 28th they were two games over 500
11:33now they're seven games under 500 well there's no reason to really expect them to no to to and i
11:40didn't to play better when they were the biggest sellers of the of the of the deadline well i don't
11:46know if they were the biggest sellers they sold well they weren't they they they didn't they make the
11:52most deals i don't know if they made the most deals i don't know they didn't sell the biggest
11:56names they didn't sell the biggest days but they got rid of the most guys they got they sold two
12:01starters but i didn't even if they kept them i didn't expect them to be it but the bottom line
12:06is they've lost 14 19 and since wood's been out of the lineup they're not hitting the ball and now
12:10they're gonna swap cj abrams to playing second base he's on massive life tilt about that and that's
12:16that's the first sign yesterday that's the first sign of the pending divorce between cj abrams and
12:23the washington nationals yeah he's not happy about that that's not going to go well it's not going to
12:27end well yeah for either well i mean for either party but it's not going to end well for cj
12:33abrams
12:33getting a long-term deal and the agent jumped into the fray defending cj saying he's played
12:39shortstop his whole life well i mean their beef is because shortstops make a ton more than second
12:45baseman right ultimately that's why why would you care otherwise yeah i don't know like well
12:50shortstop gets more action you're you're more of a leader on the field day it's the but if he's bad
12:55at playing no second baseman don't make what shortstop i understand the nats position he's bad at
13:00playing shortstop now his bat is amazing but his fielding is garbage he's like in those 20 years
13:06like in the one the one percentile of all like shortstops and fielding yeah i mean that's untenable
13:12that can't continue so i understand the nats position that hey as long as you're here going
13:17forward you're gonna be playing second base that's and a lot of it with cj is not just the fielding
13:23yeah it's throwing throwing yeah well then and put him closer to first base by having playing i don't
13:28know what percentage of the errors were throwing versus fielding but i mean can somebody kill the
13:33fly that's in here definitely a fly buzzing around it was it was tilting yesterday it was buzzing
13:38around in the producer's water anywhere in the building no that's a dumb question i tried too
13:45slow almost got him i couldn't get it with my hands it's tough it's a tough ass maybe it's the
13:50sourdough and the banana i mean i'm not mr miyagi i can't catch it with a pair of chopsticks
13:55all right but all i care about is washington getting to 67 wins so they've got to be fine all
14:02right hold on
14:02hold on odds are yes yes okay but teams have tanked over the last 40 games in major league
14:09history right they've gone seven or six and 29 so if they go six and 29 i'm a big fat
14:15loser how big is
14:16this wager you've asked me this a hundred times 200 bucks they've got to go seven and 28 all right
14:23can they can't go seven and 28 that is ridiculous okay well they've gone five and 14 in the last
14:2919
14:30all right it's possible i like i said off the air you're gonna limp across the finish yeah i might
14:35get to six it's not gonna be by a lot but i think you're it'll probably be by two wins
14:39yeah maybe
14:40maybe three close like you were you were definitely flexing your muscles about it early
14:45two games over 500 you're feeling it just three weeks ago yeah of course i was i thought they're
14:51gonna get to 80 wins at one point um by the way uh you know you had the joint practice
14:56with the nat
14:57or with the uh commanders last week you had a joint practice between the cowboys and the saints
15:04yesterday a lot of rickness oh lots of rickness um i don't know if you guys saw i'm sure you
15:11did
15:11but there were multiple fights the one that was interesting involved a tight end brock rechsteiner
15:20whose father is a wwe hall of famer yeah scott steiner he's a hawfer he's a hawfer and
15:28there was a suplex situation kalen uh carson who's a db for the cowboys actually punched
15:34rechsteiner i believe rechsteiner's helmet was on okay they tried always he punched him i never
15:40understand then he grabbed his face mask so his helmet was on uh but the rechsteiner picked his
15:46ass up and body slammed him well it's in it's in the family dna genes in the genetics of course
15:51he's gonna do that he's probably been doing that since he's five years old and that pops was one
15:56of the most roided out wrestlers i've ever seen take a look at i'm forgetting his first i think it
16:02was scott steiner that's what it was just google scott steiner and you're gonna see his work he was a
16:08wcw guy i've definitely seen him before yeah he's a big dude well brock is suspended for six games for
16:14for doing that no we're testing positive for for performance enhancing uh
16:21yeah that just happened so he's still on the team he's still in camp yeah i guess he's suspended for
16:26six games six regular season games he's suspended wow well he picked his ass up and dropped him that
16:34had to hurt even with the shoulder pads those roids are helping that had to hurt yeah definitely
16:38but that wasn't the only fight there was a couple of them and uh and i saw brian schottenheimer
16:44he was kind of pissed after the practice if you remember uh yesterday uh at training camp there
16:49was a skirmish for five seconds at the very end when they blew the horn yeah i saw finley talking
16:55about that they were two defensive guys yeah it was yeah usually it's an offensive and defensive guy
17:04going at it it's not usually guys on the same side of the maybe one of his guys one of
17:08the guys is
17:09getting on him for not being in the right spot or and then he's like f you um but dq
17:16got in there
17:16right away and uh and and simmered it down our boy von miller yesterday had a little presser
17:24we get to just talk about his chickens he was wearing his his hat his chicken hat didn't he offer
17:30the guy who's wearing 40 for the cowboys lifetime free chicken for his number i think i saw that
17:36it's a good offer it's a solid offer i think i'd have to take that i think you have to
17:40take
17:40lifetime of free chicken but what if his what if his company goes out of business could you get a
17:43caveat in there if your company goes out i don't know about i still get i mean you better get
17:47you
17:47better get a contract and sign it i don't know how good his business is the guy who wears 40
17:52is hunter
17:53loop i believe it's loop key who's a fullback yeah he's been wearing it for three seasons yeah
17:58and he offered him lifetime chicken yeah and what did he turn him down or he take it uh i
18:02don't know
18:02if he's turned it down yet i mean i think you have to accept that deal lifetime free wings i'm
18:08in
18:09that's what would you get tired of that maybe but hold on i mean you're chicken a lot don't you
18:15i
