Lil Wayne’s Private Chef & the Giants' Preseason QB Decision

**Craig Carton** (0:00)
Just after 3 o'clock, Carton Show Big Mac, Yankees trying to take another series tonight, Garrett Colby on the mound, Jets Giants tomorrow night. And again, unless I missed it, I have not seen Word yet, have you?

**Chris McMonigle** (0:14)
I have not.

**Craig Carton** (0:14)
In regards to, for both franchises, who the starting quarterback is going to be. I think both guys gotta play.
My gut is they are going to play, but I think they both have to play. You can't go to the season two weeks from now having both guys got in, what, 10 snaps for Gino, 14 for Jackson.

**Chris McMonigle** (0:34)
I think it's more important for Dart than Gino, but he's a veteran quarterback. Like, I...

**SPEAKER_3** (0:39)
New offense, new teammates, new everything, right?

**Chris McMonigle** (0:42)
But he's just, he's been around, he's played for multiple teams, he's been in new offenses on a year-to-year basis for the last seven years, practically. Like, I'm not saying I wouldn't play him, I agree with you. I think he should play, but I think it's more important for Jackson Dart than it is for Gino Smith.

**Craig Carton** (0:57)
If I had to rate the two, yes.

**SPEAKER_3** (0:58)
But I think both should play.

**Craig Carton** (0:59)
But they both have to play. Like, even though Gino Smith in the offense was awesome last week, 7-for-7, you had the touchdown on the opening drive, it was great. He's had 10 snaps with the Jets offense. And by the way, missed a bunch of practices because his anchor was banged up a little bit. Jackson Dart, he's got all 14 starts in his NFL career. New offensive coordinator, new head coach, some new teammates has not played with, as you said yesterday, with Middle League neighbors all that much. I don't think he's gonna be with the ones right now in practice. So I just don't, I don't think you could approach it as, well, what if they get hurt? Dude, it's still, it's two weeks from tomorrow to the opening of the season.
It is?

**Chris McMonigle** (1:42)
No, I know it is. But injuries can last further than two weeks.

**Craig Carton** (1:46)
I know that, but look, it's football. Yeah, some guys are gonna get hurt, that's gonna suck, right?

**Chris McMonigle** (1:49)
I mean, Geno Smith can tell you, he got a starting job because of it.

**SPEAKER_4** (1:53)
By the way, a lot of guys have.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:55)
Yeah, that's right.

**Craig Carton** (1:56)
Mark Sanchez had to beat the Giants because Rex Ryan had to win the Snoopy Bowl.

**SPEAKER_3** (2:00)
Yeah.

**Craig Carton** (2:00)
I would love to talk to Rex one day about that. I imagine that and the Foot Fetish video probably is two biggest regrets or no.

**SPEAKER_3** (2:09)
I don't think.

**Craig Carton** (2:09)
Tim Tebow. Yeah. Right? Tim Tebow's got to be on that with the slow motion, topless running in the rain.
And by the way, I've been told that Tim Tebow did it on purpose.

**Chris McMonigle** (2:22)
He ran in slow motion.

**Craig Carton** (2:23)
I was told from a teammate of his that he was aware the camera was there. Practice was a wrap.
He was the last guy off the field. And he knew exactly what type of thirst trap video he was putting out there. And I believe it.

**Chris McMonigle** (2:40)
I find it hard to believe.

**Craig Carton** (2:41)
And I'm grateful for it.

**Chris McMonigle** (2:42)
I mean, he's the only guy who runs around in the rain with no shirt on. I'm sure half the team did it. You think he knew that he was going to have that video blown?

**Craig Carton** (2:48)
I'm just telling you, a teammate of his told me that.

**Chris McMonigle** (2:51)
There's a chance he likes to be at the center of attention and had no problem being filmed in such a manner. But I don't think he was like, oh, I'll do this and it will go everywhere.
Yeah, Chariots of Fire.

**Craig Carton** (3:05)
Oh, I was doing the $6 million man thing. I conflated it with the one I wanted to do, though.
Because it's true, there's a Chariots of Fire. How's that one go again?

**Chris McMonigle** (3:13)
Isn't it?

**SPEAKER_3** (3:15)
Is that Chariots of Fire or is that $6 million man?

**Craig Carton** (3:19)
I thought $6 million man was that, though. Pete, if you didn't text me, and you could play one of those two theme songs for me?

**Chris McMonigle** (3:26)
Play the Chariots of Fire.

**Craig Carton** (3:27)
No phone rule for you between two and six. Put it away. Got to treat you like my child now. Put it away.
