What insights does Sam Darnold share about his NFL journey?
A couple of things now that the Seahawks have won the Super Bowl, of course. You had Sam Darnold and Kenneth Walker at Disneyland in Los Angeles. I'm going to play this one Sam Darnold to set up the next bunch of clips here. It's another duty day for Sam Darnold staying in Los Angeles. Duty day. Now, I'm assuming that he probably lives in Southern California because he went to USC. So all this tax stuff is crazy. But if he did live in Washington and they decided to keep him in California for another day... Man. Another $75,000. It's ridiculous. It's insane, man. I'm telling you. Again, like I was saying yesterday, and by the way, that discussion that we had yesterday, that thing got sent probably out all over the place.
Yeah, all the Gavin Newsom haters got a hold of that and reposted it. That's true. I mean, you can say whatever you want about him. It's been going on for years and years and years, and the state legislature has a lot to do with it. He just signs it. It's probably auto-penned, but anyway, it doesn't matter. The fact is the Dodgers have figured it out somehow. I think it has a lot to do with deferred money that the player receives, but I'm sure that there's going to be some sort of clawback that is going to be invented in the California state legislature to be able to get a hold of that money. I would imagine. Well, here was Darnold in Los Angeles at Disneyland or wherever, Anaheim, sorry, on ESPN. Talks about, you know, the journey hasn't been easy getting here, but he is here now.
You know, going back to a couple years ago and just my entire journey, it's... You know, you go through tough times for a reason.
And he's now a Super Bowl champion. So I take you to the Nightcap podcast with Ocho and Shannon Sharp. Here was Ocho. Yeah, this Darnold story really is crazy.
It didn't work out. He had to stop in Carolina. He had to stop in Minnesota. I think the stop in Minnesota was kind of the writing on the wall. I mean, a blind man can see this is the quarterback for us. And they still let him get out the door. I still don't get it. Not a unique thought.
A lot of people have said that leading into this. I was someone at the time who said that J.J. McCarthy stinks and I would have kept Sam Darnold. How many of these people now that are saying this said it at the time? I would think not a lot because of the last couple of games he played. I'll even go back to when they drafted J.J. McCarthy and they signed Sam Darnold and you said that Sam Darnold was going to have a great season after J.J. McCarthy got hurt in Well, because of the whole Kyle Shanahan situation and learning out there. Yeah, he went to quarterback school out there in San Francisco. Yeah, yep. But, I mean, everybody's got this opinion now. How the hell did they let him go? Okay, well, where were you at the time?
Did you say this is the worst decision in the world? Because people are bringing back that Mina Kimes tweet where she's like, good luck finding someone as good as Geno Smith. Like, that's what people were saying more than, oh, my God, they let the Super Bowl winning quarterback walk out the door. Not you, Biggs. Damn right. Here was Shannon Sharp. Yep, no one wanted him.
Why did the Vikings decide to let Sam Darnold go?
What's so satisfying for him is that three teams gave up on him. The Jets gave up on him. Carolina gave up on him. Minnesota, after he won 14 games, gave up on him.
And then Shannon says the story kind of nuts, given Darnold's past.
The man said he saw a ghost. Oh, Joe, you remember you said that part of like, I saw a ghost. Mm-hmm. Huh? What, you in a scary movie? What you mean you saw a ghost? He was scratching his head. His eyes got big. I'm like, well, damn.
Well, you know, this would be totally fair. It should have never gotten out there by ESPN. They put it out there. That is true. That was his rookie year. And many times I have said here on this radio program for the – 19 years I've been here, when you're a rookie, sometimes it looks like there's 15 guys out there covering the field and you can't believe that guys are moving so fast. That is the reference to seeing ghosts.
