I was on, what was I? Was it Reddit?

0:02.2

Yeah, I was on Reddit the other day. And there was this guy making a really compelling point. That, because of Joe Burroughs injury, the New York Giants, trade Russell Wilson to the Cincinnati Bengals. Your thoughts. Go ahead. Your thoughts. Okay. Why would we do that, first of all? Why not? You got Jackson Dart. Maybe you trade James Winston. Well, then they're not going to want James

0:23.7

Winston. That's the one that people should be, you know, clamoring for, even though Jake Browning actually looked pretty damn good, despite throwing multiple interceptions. But Bengal fan 882 said Russell Wilson. He didn't say James Winston. Why would he want Russell Wilson? Why would a bingo fan want Russell Wilson? Well, that part is actually... Because he just threw for $4.50? I think that part is pretty easy because Joe Burroughs going to be out until December. Yes. Right? So the Bengals who are off to 2 and 0 star, which is great for them, have got to find a way to survive until December. And even if you do survive

0:55.6

until December, you don't really want to rush Joe Burrow back. You want him back when he's good

0:59.8

and ready. And so if you're the Bengals and you're a Bengal fan, you look at Jake Browning and you

1:04.3

say, can he really help us survive? Like, we're playing the Vikings this week. We play

1:09.8

the Lions in a few weeks. We play the Packers. We obviously play the Ravens and the Steelers. The bills in Buffalo. Like, are we going to survive without him? And so you look at what Russ did for the Giants. You look at the fact that he's a solid veteran, even if he isn't the guy he was years ago. And you say, hey, who would give me a better chance of surviving until mid-December Jake Browning or Russell Wilson so from a fantasy football perspective because this really does feel like fantasy football but it kind of reminds me of Jet fans after Rogers got heard where we're like hey we go get. Who's available? So that's why they want it. The question is, would you want that?

1:45.0

No.

1:45.9

No. Why not?

1:46.5

Because Rush is due for $4.50.

1:48.1

Yeah, but you're not going to marry him long term. I don't need to marry him long term. I'm trying to win some games right now. What if the bank goes off of your third round pick? okay, this is four weeks a month from now,

1:58.2

and we're getting closer to the deadline,

2:00.2

and the Giants have won one game, then maybe.

2:03.1

Oh, I'm writing this down. If the Giants have one win closer to the deadline. The deadline is now October. It's Halloween? Is that what it is? Like, right around that area? I can't remember. I know they moved it back, but now I can't remember.

2:17.9

What's the trade deadline, Sean?

2:19.3

Tuesday, November 4th.

2:20.6

So, well, even later. Following week night. Oh, so it's like marathon. So if by the time the World Series starts, the Giants only have one win, you'll be open at trading Russell Wilson of the Bengals. Is that what you're saying? Um, no.

2:32.8

That's what you just said.

2:34.3

Because the Bengals won't want him then.

2:36.6

Well, it depends.

2:37.2

Because the Bengals, is that what you're saying? No. That's what you just said.

2:34.3

Because the Bengals won't want him then. Well, it depends. The Bengals might be in the exact same boat as us. Well, do you think that's going to happen? I don't know. I don't know how good Jake Browning's going to be. He was okay and won a game for him last weekend, but that was all because the Jacksonville Jaguars crapped the bed. What if the Bengals are in a playoff spot?
