ABOUT THIS EPISODE
The NFL trade market is getting busy early!
Ryan and Dustin break down two significant trades from around the league, beginning with the New York Giants acquiring quarterback J.J. McCarthy from the Minnesota Vikings. We discuss what McCarthy could bring to New York, where he fits into the Giants’ plans, and what Minnesota’s willingness to move on means for both sides.
Then, the Dallas Cowboys add some much-needed help to their secondary by acquiring cornerback Joey Porter Jr. from the Pittsburgh Steelers. We look at Porter’s fit in Dallas, what the Cowboys gave up to get him, and why Pittsburgh decided to move on from the former second-round pick.
We also react to Cleveland’s 27-24 Thursday night victory over Pittsburgh before turning our attention to the rest of NFL Week 4 and the games and matchups we’ll be watching this weekend.
Finally, we switch from the gridiron to the ice for some VERY early observations from the opening days of the 2026-27 NHL season.
It’s football, hockey, trades, reactions, and probably a few overreactions on this edition of No Credentials Required! No Credentials Required is a part of the Belly Up Sports Media Network.
