This episode of the Dan Levitard Show is presented by DraftKings Sports. DraftKings, the crown is yours.
It's the footballyest time of the year. Football season is essentially upon us. Carson Beck. A good debut preseason though it was. Mike Ryan, I'm sensing some enthusiasm as somebody who enjoyed rooting for Carson Beck last year at the U. Right now, the meter points, he's a Miami Hurricane.
You know. Another interception uh an interception or two, uh it swings back to Georgia Bulldog. But last night that was a proper Miami hurricane. Honestly, though, the the main takeaway, and how good is it to have a bad beat? Oh, I had a bad beat. I had cards. What are you doing, man? What am I doing? What are you doing? What are you doing? I I felt what I'm doing is expressing confidence in Carson Beck. What I'm doing is putting my money where my mouth is. And he was fine.
Haynes King hater.
Yeah C C well one thing that I should have certainly not done and learned from history is betting against Haynes King. You know. And he just he did it again. This guy's he's magical. He's not good, but he's awesome. I don't understand it. He's just such a gamer. I don't know what it is.
Isn't it weird that he is it they always mention that he's a coach's son? It's like, why didn't his dad ever coach him to throw a football and look like a normal person throwing it? And he's still reached this lofty perch as a preseason QB without looking normal throwing a ball. Whenever, whoa, whoa
Excuse me. Whenever I watch uh I get emotional watching Haynes King. Whenever I watch Haynes King in college, I I point to it and I'm like, This is my Bill Simmons. I point to Haynes King and I'm like, that's why college football is so awesome. Quarterbacks like that don't exist in the NFL. College is the only place where a Haynes King can not only exist, but thrive and be one of the greatest players in your program's history. So to see him do it, I know it's preseason, and I know it's sir certainly against a team that not many people are expecting much from, and it's all backups. But it was really awesome to see Haynes King do that in a pro uniform. And I'm not the only one that thought that, Dave Damaschek.
Here is the final call from last night's thrilling Hall of Fame game from two ten-pole franchises in the NFL, the Carolina Panthers and Arizona Cardinals. Don't believe me, ask Mike Tarico.
Game on the line. King, he's gonna step up!
Runs go line, is he in? Yes! What a win! King's king!
King of the night! Look at him. Both teams out there mobbing them. It's party time in Canton Light!
The smile that was on your face when Collinsworth just decided to chime in there. That's football ball.
I I've always uh told uh younger fellows as a great cocksman, I've always said, listen, what you do on a first date, you don't go somewhere super fancy. Don't take uh uh because first of all the standard too high. Well you'll also yeah, you'll both be stiff and and all of that. But also, um where do you go from there? And where's Tarico and Collinsworth booth going from here? Wait till the games start to matter. A a cool matchup too, because neither of the quarterbacks, when Beck and uh King were uh in the ACC QB showdown out there in Canton, Ohio, neither one of them possesses a real first name. You know, Josh Allen has two first names, and then there are other guys who have no first names. You know?
Would you rather be Beck Carson? Mm. King Haynes. I think I'd rather be King Haynes.
It's a great take, Dave. And also, they ran it back. When those two quarterbacks play one another, they play great games. The Georgia Tech Georgia game, of huge consequence from two years ago, a game in which Carson Beck started the game hurt, toughed it out, and willed Georgia to victory, also with the help of referees, but the SCC narrative won't allow for that. Haynes King and Carson Beck put on an all-time show. That's one of the greatest regular. season college football games I had ever seen.
