Big Mac and Craig Shut Down Giants Kaepernick Rumors

Craig Carton (0:00)

That's the official theme song of Joe Shane.

Chris McMonigle (0:03)

Okay, that's for Joe Shane.

Craig Carton (0:04)

He's gonna be fine, America, don't worry about our quarterback.

Chris McMonigle (0:06)

How long did it take Pat Leonard to write that?

SPEAKER_4 (0:09)

Oh, body blow!

Chris McMonigle (0:14)

But if you're behind that, I hope you realize that it's counterintuitive to your argument about they need to tell us stuff immediately.

Craig Carton (0:21)

Well, tell us accurate stuff immediately would be nice.

Chris McMonigle (0:24)

Not lie to us. Yeah, they did.

Chris McMonigle (0:27)

They didn't lie. That was the information we thought. He jumped the gun!

Craig Carton (0:29)

Because Joe don't know Jack!

Chris McMonigle (0:31)

They jumped the gun. Both him and Coach Harbaugh.

Craig Carton (0:34)

I want to thank our musical producer, B&A, for another winner right there. Joe don't know Jack!

Chris McMonigle (0:40)

I mean, they're surprisingly good songs.

Craig Carton (0:43)

Yeah, they're pretty good.

Chris McMonigle (0:44)

They're surprisingly good songs.

Craig Carton (0:45)

Yeah. By the way, there might be another one by the end of the show.

Chris McMonigle (0:48)

I'm sure there is.

Craig Carton (0:49)

They're all coming fast and furious.

Fast and furious are coming. Anyway, I hope you appreciated that. I take the time to create things for you and for the fan base. That was the fruits of my labor right there. Yeah, okay.

Chris McMonigle (1:00)

Fruits of your labor.

Craig Carton (1:01)

Joe, don't know Jack!

Chris McMonigle (1:03)

Got another song for you, Craig. You should play it.

Craig Carton (1:05)

Something like that.

Chris McMonigle (1:06)

It's what makes fun of Big Mac.

Craig Carton (1:08)

That one did not make funny you at all. I haven't mentioned in that song.

Chris McMonigle (1:11)

No, not that one.

Craig Carton (1:11)

All right, sir. Here's Louis in the Bronx.

Real quick, before I get to Louis, can we all agree on one thing? And I don't know why Pro Football Talk is pushing this narrative. I wish they would stop. And I love Mike Florio. He's a buddy.

But the notion that because five years ago or something, that John Harbaugh suggested that the Ravens at the time were considering a tryout for Colin Kaepernick means that the Giants are going to do the same. I am begging you to stop that narrative. And on the flip side, the New York Giants do not need that type of attention and that circus, nor can he play.

Chris McMonigle (1:51)

I mean, it's been forever. So please. Like, and when you say he would come with the circus, it's just, it would create such a storm, and it's not worth it for someone who hasn't played.

Craig Carton (2:03)

The guy said the NFL is modern day slavery, but for 10 years, he's been begging the league to bring him back into slavery. It's just stupid.

It's stupid.

Chris McMonigle (2:13)

I, that's, if it were, but I would consider it, maybe, or I would at least think of it if it were a year after him going to the Super Bowl. He hasn't played in forever. What are we, like, why would we even consider that?

Craig Carton (2:22)

I'm trying to put it out there. Louie, you're on the, you're on the clock. What do you got?

Chris McMonigle (2:26)

Yeah. What's up, fellas? Hey, that song was excellent, by the way.

Yeah. A couple of callers ago, Craig, a guy made a he made like sort of parallel to what Joe Burrow getting hurt and to check and die. Right. The guy was accurate. He was right on the money. You were wrong, Craig. He got hurt in November of 2020 He was out for the 2021 season with a torn ACL. Yeah. They drafted Jason 21 and went to the bowl.

You were wrong. And the other guy next to you doesn't even say nothing because what kind of fraud are you, Big Mac? You're supposed to know everything. You don't know shit.

Craig Carton (3:07)

Oh, you can't curse. You know you can't curse now.

Chris McMonigle (3:10)

That's not appropriate on the show.

Chris McMonigle (3:12)

Did you get it in time?

Craig Carton (3:13)

There was a miscommunication between which injury. There was the torn ACL is rookie season. I wasn't referencing that.

I thought the caller was referencing what happened two years later, which was an MCL spring because that made sense in my head. Apples to Apples, because Jackson Dart doesn't have a torn ACL. So if you got confused by the dates we were referring to, and maybe I didn't hear the caller perfectly, that's fine. But what I said was he sprained his MCL in January of 22
