Good morning football. Hey, hey, hey. Oh, yeah.

Good morning football.

Hello, welcome to good morning football, presented by Rocket Mortgage, live, of course, here in our studios in New York City.

It's Tuesday, the 1st of August, which means we are closer to September, which means regular season. Then it's January and it's playoffs and your mind is blown and football is gone again. No, no, it's August 1st. I'm Jamie Erdall. That's Kyle Brandt. That's Jason McCordy. And that across the table from us here is Dante Hall, the human joystick. In case you haven't heard, down in Baltimore, Lamar Jackson has given rookie wide receivers Zay Flowers, the nickname Joystick.

There was controversy.

There was anger.

There was debate the last hour.

And what have we solved?

We've solved the fact that it is okay for Zay Flowers to be called George Stick.

Not the human joystick. Differentiation is key. key. How does that make you feel? Well, there is some legal precedent. I remember when the Baltimore Ravens running at Gus Edwards was having a moment and if people were calling him Gus the bus, I actually got to talk to Jerome Bettis. I was like, Jerome, you're the bus. Not only they're calling somebody else the bus, it's a Raven. It's a Steelers rival. He's like, it's okay. It's okay. I love him. He's like, I'm here to spread the love. But Dante and Jerome are like two very nice guys that I think are very secure with yourself. Some other people, someone did suggest on Twitter that Zay Flowers getting the joystick should be like when you show up to a team and someone has your number.

Like there should be a payment.

So now all of a sudden maybe you want to talk.

I love that idea.

Never going to say no to that.

No one.

No, that idea.

But for now, they're calling him the joystick in Baltimore.

It's okay.

Zay should ask Lamar to be on the hook for that bill because he's the one that came up. He's the one that came up for that. Get that man in an entire gym. Right, exactly. Let's talk about America's team. Talk to the Lee Block. There's been plenty of buzz out in Oxnard, California. Of course, the home of the Cowboys Training Camp and all off season really surrounding Dallas about Mike McCarthy.
