If Jameis does this at the line, everybody might just start dancing. We have offsetting penalties, offensive line, dancing, defensive line, dancing. Penalties offset, we play fourth down.

Chris McMonigle (0:16)

X gonna get it. Do you ever see that reminded me, have you ever seen the movie Necessary Roughness?

Dennis (0:21)

I think I have, actually, yes I have.

Chris McMonigle (0:23)

It's one of the greats. With the guy from- Scott Bakula. Yeah, Scott Bakula. From Quantum Leap. Yeah. He's like an old-

Craig Carton (0:29)

He's like a 50-year-old quarterback.

Chris McMonigle (0:31)

Yeah, a little younger than that, but yes, he comes back to school. There's a great scene where one of the, there's a karate guy on the team and he kicks the crap out of the other players and the referee does that. He's like, Esquad Scrooge thrust to the lineback. He goes through all the different karate moves. It's hilarious. So I kick to the quarterback.

Dennis (0:50)

I think it's fantastic.

Craig Carton (0:51)

There you go. I don't want to scare anybody, because I probably shouldn't even say it.

Chris McMonigle (0:58)

Okay. You scared me with it.

Craig Carton (1:01)

But I'm just going to tell you what's happening in real time.

All flights in the United States of America have been grounded until further notice, quote unquote, due to extraordinary circumstances and for reasons of safety, according to the FAA.

Calls of the ground stop not immediately clear, but an FAA spokesman has just said, there's a communications problem impacting air route traffic control centers, which handle flights going across the country. Traffic should remain ground stopped until further notice. The last time there was a nationwide ground stop was in 2023 when pilot notification systems went down, and the last time prior to that was, of course, 9-11. So, I don't want to scare anybody, but I think since we're all kind of living this life together, we should share that with you. And obviously, if we learn anything else about that, we'll let you know. I only learned about it because my son is sitting on an airplane right now on the ground trying to come back home. He was out in Vegas with Major League Baseball for their big golf tournament. So, he's sitting on a plane, and they said, yeah, we ain't taking off for a while. So, they might be going back to the gate and, what do you call it, the plane.

Chris McMonigle (2:17)

Better to find that out before you take off.

Craig Carton (2:18)

F.

Chris McMonigle (2:18)

Yeah.

Craig Carton (2:19)

Yeah.

Chris McMonigle (2:20)

That's...

Craig Carton (2:20)

Keep an eye on that.

Chris McMonigle (2:21)

Yeah, definitely. That's scary.

Craig Carton (2:23)

Third time in...

Chris McMonigle (2:25)

26, 25 years.

Craig Carton (2:26)

Yeah, only the third time in 25 years. So, we'll keep an eye on that for you. Here's Dennis in Cliffside Park. Dennis, good afternoon. How are you today, pal?

Dennis (2:35)

Guys, awesome show. Thank you so much. I've been laughing my ass off driving on the Jersey Turnpike, which is also always a laugh. Thank you. Thank you so much for everything.

Thank you for everything. I got a laugh about the Redskins fan that called about an hour ago talking trash. When was the last time they were relevant? I mean, come on now.

Chris McMonigle (2:52)

They were in the NFC Championship two years ago, so we got to be somewhat fair. Yeah, okay.

Dennis (2:56)

Before that, maybe 1988 didn't matter.

Chris McMonigle (2:59)

Before that, you have to go back to... Yeah, you have to go back to ripping.

Dennis (3:04)

As far as who let the dogs out, make sure everyone takes their dog out to dinner tonight. Getting back to the G-Men, we're in a good spot. I'm confident. I'm a giant fan for a long time. I know Craig here has been tough with the Jets. And he's exactly right. If we're panicking, we're in a great spot right now because we haven't panicked in quite some time because it hasn't mattered.

Craig Carton (3:21)

And that was my take out of the gate that this... I heard all day long, all this bitching and moaning. And I get it. It's a bad loss.

Chris McMonigle (3:28)

It's a very difficult loss. It's more...

Craig Carton (3:31)

But it mattered.

Chris McMonigle (3:32)

Of course.

Craig Carton (3:32)

And to me, yes, my perspective...

Chris McMonigle (3:34)

They had an opportunity to do something, though. It's an opportunity lost.

Craig Carton (3:37)

But yes, yes, and yes...

Chris McMonigle (3:38)

They would have taken a major... They would have taken control of this division.
