357 Carton Show, Big Mac. Did you watch any of the football last night just to get a little taste?

**SPEAKER_2** (0:06)
A little bit. A little taste?

**Chris McMonigle** (0:07)
Not much.

**Craig Carton** (0:08)
Did it turn you on at all? Did it make you feel like, yeah, football's back? Every week now, we have football.

**Chris McMonigle** (0:12)
No.

**Craig Carton** (0:14)
A little bit?

**Chris McMonigle** (0:15)
I was focused on the Red Sox and the White Sox.

**Craig Carton** (0:16)
33-30.
Classic ending, two seconds on the clock. Some guy we've never heard of trying to make an NFL roster.

**Chris McMonigle** (0:26)
Classic ending, extra inning.

**Craig Carton** (0:28)
Marston Beck throwing for a buck 80, throwing dimes all over the field. Nothing?

**SPEAKER_2** (0:34)
A little juice?

**Craig Carton** (0:36)
Man.

**Chris McMonigle** (0:36)
Barazaban blowing the game. That's what I saw.

**Craig Carton** (0:39)
I didn't watch a pitch of the Red Sox game. I was locked in to football. And here's why.
Normally, like you said yesterday, I don't disagree with your take. You watch part of the first quarter, get a little taste of it. And then it's like a glorified college game.

**Chris McMonigle** (0:54)
When I got home, it was 14-14. And I watched for five or six minutes.

**Craig Carton** (0:57)
It was so competitive. And it was back and forth in big play after big play.
I found myself, I couldn't turn it off. And I know it meant nothing. I know I'll never see 90% of these guys in an NFL game this year.
But the back and forth, bing, bing, bing, bing, bing, solid quarterback play, deep passes down the field.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:19)
Yeah.

**Craig Carton** (1:20)
Football's back.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:21)
Football's back.

**Craig Carton** (1:22)
I loved it. I loved it.
I really did. I'm all about it. I'm so happy football's back.

**Al Dukes** (1:29)
We're going to be at Jets camp on Tuesday.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:30)
Oh, I can't wait for Jets camp.

**Craig Carton** (1:32)
I think we're the only show going.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:33)
I think we are. Right?

**Craig Carton** (1:34)
Well, that's a relationship based thing.
We have one. No one else does. So we'll be out there. Aaron Glenn, I think the way I was told I have to say it, scheduled to appear.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:45)
Okay.

**Craig Carton** (1:46)
Which doesn't mean guaranteed to appear.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:51)
Baker Mayfield. Hopefully, he appears.

**Craig Carton** (1:53)
Todd Bowles.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:54)
Really?

**Craig Carton** (1:54)
Yeah, because it's a joint practice while we're there.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:56)
Baker Mayfield?

**Craig Carton** (1:57)
Scheduled to appear.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:59)
Very nice.

**Craig Carton** (1:59)
Baker Mayfield, Todd Bowles. Yeah. Old pal. Aaron Glenn, Garrett Wilson, Darren Moogy. Okay.
And that's all I heard so far.

**Chris McMonigle** (2:12)
That's excellent.

**Craig Carton** (2:13)
Which is pretty solid.

**Chris McMonigle** (2:14)
Yeah. You know, what happened to little men offenses?

**Al Dukes** (2:17)
Gino Smith?

**Chris McMonigle** (2:18)
Yeah.

**Craig Carton** (2:19)
I've not filed through on that or filed up on that.

**Al Dukes** (2:22)
No.

**Craig Carton** (2:22)
The offer was made. The consideration was happening.

**Chris McMonigle** (2:27)
Haven't heard that.

**Craig Carton** (2:27)
And then he got pulled over three times driving, you know, 75 and a 40 in a car that he was not registered to or without a license. And I've not heard back.

**Chris McMonigle** (2:37)
Gotcha. But I think you might have to. You want to talk to Moogy and you want to talk to the coach. That's who you want to talk to for sure.

**Craig Carton** (2:45)
Those are the two big ones.

**Chris McMonigle** (2:46)
Those are the two big ones.

**Craig Carton** (2:46)
Yeah. I would like to talk to Garrett.

**Chris McMonigle** (2:48)
If I would love to talk to Garrett.

**Craig Carton** (2:50)
I'd like to talk to Breeze.

**Chris McMonigle** (2:51)
Love to talk to Breeze.

**Craig Carton** (2:52)
Because outside of this contract, I'd love to know what else is different.

**Al Dukes** (2:56)
This training camp.

**Chris McMonigle** (2:57)
With my talking to Bailey, rumor is he looks fan, word is I shouldn't say rumor. Word is he looks fantastic at camp.

**SPEAKER_4** (3:04)
Yeah, well, you picked them, well, you picked them, you picked them better, right?

**Chris McMonigle** (3:06)
He looks like he looks like he looks like the real deal.

**Craig Carton** (3:08)
I mean, that is funny.
Everything you've read about Bailey, rock star. Everything we've read about Arville Reese, rock star. Both guys. Again, means nothing for the first weekend in September, but from a fan standpoint, I'm like, thank God we're not seeing, he's slow off the snap, you know, any of that kind of stuff.
