Chris McMonigle (0:40)

Yay!

Craig Carton (0:42)

That takes me back to like my least favorite, like, my early 20s, clubbing when I had no interest in being out clubbing.

Chris McMonigle (0:51)

There you go.

Craig Carton (0:52)

I want to just go to bars, watch sports, drink, hang out, try and meet women there as opposed to like dance. Different kind of gal. It's just not a different kind of gal, not my element. I need to be funny. I need to like, you know.

Chris McMonigle (1:03)

Got it. You are going to win a girl over by dancing.

Craig Carton (1:06)

Not that I'm a terrible dancer, but like, my dancing skills aren't going to do it well.

Chris McMonigle (1:10)

You know your strengths.

Craig Carton (1:11)

Can't be yelling like, so!

Chris McMonigle (1:14)

What brings you here? What brings you here? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, me too! Yeah, me too later.

Craig Carton (1:20)

We used to go to Posh. It was like in the first level of the Garden City Hotel. That was the spot.

Chris McMonigle (1:27)

By the way, Tyree Kill started to negotiate with a number of teams. He got a figure after that injury to the Chiefs wide receiver yesterday. You see that?

The broken ankle on the little lob ball. He didn't know his ankle was broken, so his adrenaline was running so much. He stood up to celebrate and he couldn't plant because his foot was backwards. It was like the scadaboo injury.

Craig Carton (1:47)

I know.

Chris McMonigle (1:47)

Yeah.

Craig Carton (1:48)

And it actually takes a little bit away from the scadaboo injury because part of it was like, man, how scadaboo acted like he wasn't even injured. This guy is ready to celebrate.

Chris McMonigle (1:55)

This guy is standing up about to go, first down. Oh my God, my ankle.

And yeah, the Chiefs are all the way back 4-0. Amazing. If you look real quick, you look at the 4-0 teams versus the 0-4 teams. Houston Texans 0-4, Minnesota Vikings 4-0. Tampa Bay Buccaneers 0-4.

You know, it just doesn't make sense. The Chargers 0-4. Yeah. You know, a lot of teams with a lot of expectations this year, maybe more parity 4 weeks in than any year in recent memory from the haves and have-nots. And I know the Chiefs beat the Raiders yesterday. The Raiders are a problem now for people. Very well coached team, getting solid quarterback play, good defensive play too.

Craig Carton (2:33)

Another really good offensive mind, Kubiak's doing a real good job with them.

Chris McMonigle (2:36)

And the reason I bring that up is because what you've celebrated since John Harbaugh decided to become and the Giants agreed with the contract to bring him in here.

Sometimes you don't have to complicate things. It's as simple as getting a really good coach and everything changes overnight. I'm not saying the Raiders are running a Super Bowl this year. I don't think they are. They drafted a quarterback first pick overall. He's not going to play this year the way Kirk Cousins is playing, right? And that's because you have a competent head coach who surrounds himself with other competent coaches. And the Raiders went from an embarrassment the last couple of years to a team that is now a legitimate playoff team.

Craig Carton (3:20)

I think so.

Chris McMonigle (3:21)

And damn near beat the Chiefs. They probably should have beaten the Chiefs yesterday.

Craig Carton (3:24)

Yeah.

Chris McMonigle (3:24)

But that's the point where the hardest guy to find is the most important guy to find.

Craig Carton (3:30)

Right.

Chris McMonigle (3:30)

And that's the head coach. The Giants have been through it for the last decade until they found Harbaugh. The Jets have been through it since Rex Ryan, really. And his heyday, which is also 15 years ago now.
