00:00So, the Vikings though, just to kind of keep this thing moving all around, you know, J.J. McCarthy's hurt. He's gone for the year.
00:11I know that there was probably some hope somewhere that when they got in there and they looked at his knee that he wouldn't be gone for the year.
00:17He's gone.
00:18According to Pro Football Doc, they did the right thing.
00:20Yeah.
00:21Just because when you trim a meniscus, you're getting rid of some of your meniscus.
00:29The chances are of you re-injuring it are higher.
00:32Right.
00:33Do a full-on repair.
00:34Like, yeah, you lose the year, but that meniscus is good to go now.
00:37Like, there is going to be no lingering injury concerns to re-injure it again unless it's a whole separate thing.
00:43But the Vikings have had kind of an interesting summer.
00:46Interesting.
00:48This has actually been kind of brutal.
00:50Well, yeah.
00:51I believe I saw an article call it the Viking summer of hell.
00:55It's been that bad.
00:57It's been terrible.
00:59Yeah.
01:00Who hit the DUI?
01:01Well, we can start even before that.
01:03July 6, their fourth-round draft pick, Kyrie Jackson, was killed in a car accident.
01:06What do you think?
01:08July 10, Jordan Addison, the USC second-year receiver, arrested for DUI.
01:13By the way, when he gets arrested for DUI, he's USC's Jordan Addison.
01:17When he has, like, an all-pro year, he'll be like, Pitt.
01:20Pitt is it.
01:21Pitt is lit.
01:22Yeah.
01:23I didn't even know he went to Pitt.
01:24July 22nd.
01:25Get out of here.
01:26Get out of here.
01:27I really didn't.
01:28I forgot.
01:29Dude, he won the what's-the-name-of-the-Bolitnikov Award at Pitt, and then he got paid to go to USC.
01:37That's all I know, USC Jordan Addison, dude.
01:39Sorry.
01:40Sorry.
01:41Weak sauce, bro.
01:44Dude, whatever.
01:46July 22nd.
01:47Another starting cornerback, Teresa Zaziel, McKay Blackman.
01:50Teresa Zaziel is out for the season.
01:52Their star tight end, who they just paid, is starting the season on the PUP list.
01:55He won't be good to go for a few weeks.
01:57Another cornerback that they signed, Shaquille Griffin.
01:59He hasn't practiced.
02:00He, like, maybe tore his hamstring.
02:02A couple days ago, yesterday, officially, JJ McCarthy tears his meniscus.
02:05Oh, guess what else happened yesterday?
02:07Pitt's Jordan Addison carted off with an ankle injury.
02:10No, that's USC's.
02:11No, that's Pitt.
02:13Yeah.
02:14So it's been—
02:15You didn't even know we went to Pittsburgh.
02:16Stop.
02:17Al, I got to show you guys something, all right?
02:18All right.
02:19This is a stupid thing that I do every year for my fantasy football team.
02:21I don't even get to wear this stupid thing this year.
02:23I always make a shirt.
02:25I'm always, like, you know, trying to do something with the Vikings.
02:28I made this.
02:29I can't even wear it.
02:30I might as well just burn it or start washing my car with it.
02:32I made a McCarthy Jefferson 2024 Making Minnesota Great Again shirt.
02:36I can't even wear it.
02:39I can't even wear it.
02:41Hey, dude, put that on the back burner and wait for next year.
02:44If I got to put a little sticker, put five.
02:46Oh, my God.
02:47You know what I mean?
02:48Or either block off McCarthy and put Darnell.
02:49Like, dude.
02:50Making Minnesota Great Again.
02:51I can't even wear it this year.
02:53Stupid shirt.
02:54Stupid team.
