| 0:00.0 | What's up, everybody? |
| 0:07.8 | Welcome into today's episode of Pushing the Pile. |
| 0:10.4 | This show is brought to by Fandual Sportsbook. |
| 0:12.9 | Make Every Moment More. |
| 0:14.8 | I'm Mike Renner, joined always by Kyle Long and Kyle. |
| 0:18.1 | We've got a very special guest today. |
| 0:19.7 | One, I think that I am the most excited to have on of any guests we've had on. Can you guess why, Kyle? Is it just like off top of your head, why do you think I would be very excited to have JP? Well, my immediate guess is that there's football diagrams in the background of JP Acosta shot here. That's the first thing that I noticed. I'm interested to hear why |
| 0:37.8 | you, Mike Renner, are so excited for JP. I have my own reasons. Well, because I think this is the first guy that we've had on that I can confidently say watches more all 22 than I do. And anytime that's the case. I feel like I can pick someone's brain. So JP, welcome to the show. Thanks to join us. How you doing today, man? |
| 0:55.2 | I'm doing great. |
| 1:10.6 | Thank you guys for having me. This is kind of like one of my benchmarks in my career. Like I got to get on with these guys and talk ball. So this is pretty exciting for me. Well, dude, I appreciate that. You gasping us up. You didn't have to, but you did. So thank you. Let's start with some ball though. |
| 1:16.1 | Start with first off the ball segment where we've had some trade requests in recent days. |
| 1:21.3 | Micah Parsons, obviously, you know, it's a little old news by now that he requested the trade. |
| 1:26.7 | Had that, you know, anytime you got the notes app coming up on Twitter, you know it's serious. |
| 1:29.2 | You had two pages of notes app too. |
| 1:29.9 | It wasn't just one. |
| 1:31.3 | It was two pages requesting the trade. |
| 1:35.4 | Do we think, one, JP, that he does get traded. |
| 1:39.0 | And two, where would you like to see him go if he does? |
| 1:42.6 | I really don't think he's going to be traded. This would be the most, like, insane trade to happen in the NFL in a long time, |
| 1:48.5 | considering he is one of the best defenders at his position in the NFL, |
| 1:53.2 | and he's also 26 years old. |
| 1:55.3 | But if he were to get traded, I would love to see the Patriots make a run for him. |
