00:00And that is our first London game of the year.

00:07That's right.

00:08The Jets and the Vikings heading across the pond.

00:11They are already there.

00:13Couple of things we got for you in this one.

00:15First, Sam Darnold facing his old team.

00:17Now he's faced the Jets before, Scotty, but this time he's coming in with a 4-0 Viking

00:22team.

00:23He has been outstanding.

00:24He's thrown a billion touchdown passes, flying up the MVP board.

00:28So your time as a Jet takes the high road when he's asked about New York.

00:32Do you feel the Jets failed you in any way?

00:36No, I think, you know, I had a lot of opportunities in New York and I always felt like I could

00:42have played better there.

00:43Oh, there you have it.

00:44Like, that's, get right out of that problem right there.

00:49It's my fault.

00:50I didn't play well.

00:51Boom.

00:52That's the end of it.

00:53He's bounced around, obviously, Carolina, San Francisco, and now back, now in Minnesota.

00:59So he's had a few stops.

01:00As I always say to you, some of these guys that get picked very high in the draft, it's

01:04usually not them.

01:06It's the environment that they're put in.

01:09And I would classify what he had with the Jets, with Adam Gase, et cetera, as that kind

01:14of environment.

01:15I think that that's what you could say.

01:17Adam Gase.

01:18How awful was that guy?

01:19Do you remember that guy with his wigged out eyes?

01:21Oh, I remember.

01:22I certainly do.

01:24Robert Sala, of course, has been the guy since then.

01:27This is him this morning over in London.

01:30Some of the London reporters were asking him about if there's pressure to win in New York.

01:35What kind of question is that?

01:37Pressure in New York?

01:39No, you can be an expansion team and still have the same amount of pressure.

01:47It doesn't matter.

01:48You got to win.

01:49It's New York.

01:50You got to win.

01:51When you win, you're going to the Super Bowl.

01:54When you lose, fire everybody.

01:56And that's the world we live in.

01:57That's the world we embrace.

01:59We attack each week as a new week, which every week comes with the extremist amount of pressure.

02:06But we're made for it.

02:07We're built for it.

02:08Joe Namath ain't coming through that door.

02:09I mean, they have literally been there once.

02:13That's it.

02:14They have been there once.

02:16That's it.

02:17Look, he's right.

02:20You either win or you suck.

02:21And guess what?

02:22He's never won.

02:23He's never done anything.

02:24The Vikings are two-and-a-half-point favorites.

02:26This is a Sunday morning, 9.30 a.m. on the East Coast, 40-and-a-halfs the total.

02:32These London games, as I always say to you, are very sloppy.

02:36The quality of play in these is usually not very good.

02:39Yeah, I don't understand.

02:41I don't really like the 9.30 a.m. games.

02:45It reminds me of living in L.A.

02:48The games start at 10 a.m., and you get breakfast to watch the games.

02:52You have brunch, and you get hammered, and you eat car, and somebody goes through.

02:56I don't like 9.30 a.m. games.
