Sage Rosenfels

Second most passing yards in the history of the league in an 11-minute timeframe.

Only Sage Rosenfels, the Immortal, in 2007, had more in an 11-minute span than J.J. McCarthy did yesterday.

And this is how sometimes, like, are we in The Matrix? When J.J.

McCarthy comes in off the bench and throws for 243 yards in an NFL game, I, I, I kind of feel like we might be.

We're up there in Nashville and car is benched at the half.

Rosenfels comes in.

Yeah, because they had it.

David was not moving the team.

Yeah.

And Gary puts Sage Rosenfels in, who runs this Gary Kubiak-type offense very well, as we've seen him do over the years.

He throws three touchdown passes in the second half.

You still lose, but it was an offensive explosion at the time.

They have Preston Rex, who is now going to be, um, the number two running back, which is somewhat concerning because Legend Glaser is a huge part of that attack.

He uses just every single blade of grass all over the field to make himself the best possible player and, and the biggest weapon he can be, right? But going forward, you have to be conscious of the fact that, like, this whole, like, everybody's in it and everybody has a chance to be the best team in the Big 12 is actually not the best in the conference, not the best thing for the conference, right? And, and by the way, here's a good example, because we're gonna, we're gonna transition now to our next guest, the great Sage Rosenfels.

Standout quarterback.

We call him a Cyclone legend.

Um, there he is, Sage Rosenfels.

Sage, so I'm talking about the Big 12 and the way everything kinda stacks up right now, and you have to love, as an Iowa State guy, where Jimmy Rogers has this program at three and two.

They're one of the teams that when I, I sat with Jimmy Rogers at media day, I didn't think...

And, and that's what Iowa State's trying to do.

But man, like, about two-thirds of that game, I'm like, "Oh my God." Like, I'm in ...

Y- you know, I'm texting with Todd Bandauer and Sage Rosenfels in a, in a, in a group chat of guys when I played, and I'm, I'm telling you, Emery, I'm sitting there and I'm just like, "Right now, if we had either of those guys, we'd be killing this thing." A- and they wouldn't be running it the same way that, that Jalen is running it.

Um, I just, like ...

This was a better game from him than last game.

Green.

And we have a personal friend on this list, Sage Rosenfels.

Oh, yeah, that's

right, Sage.

33rd all-time in passing.

So actually, Malik Willis, if he has a decent game, will pass Sage Rosenfels on the all-time list.

I'm going to have to let him know.

Culpepper is on the list.

It's ha- it's happened again.

This is not what friends do to friends.

[laughs] That's what friends do.

And it's flying around here.

Too many, too many plates spinning over here.

So just as a, c- 'cause I'm a friend.

No, I, I'll, I'll stay out of it.

Like I, like I don't like to troll my friends with, you know, like a bunch of green and then all tons of red.
