J.J. McCarthy backlash is no longer about football (and fans feel it)

"I'm not bought in all the way," is what The Athletic's Dianna Russini said about second-year Minnesota Vikings quarterback J.J. McCarthy in a discussion with Colin Cowherd on Tuesday during an appearance on FS1's "The Herd with Colin Cowherd" show.

Yeah, Dianna, we know. You haven't been "bought in" to the Vikings moving forward with McCarthy as the team's starting quarterback ever since they ruined your "massive" scoop about Minnesota talking with Aaron Rodgers earlier this year.

For whatever reason, ever since the Vikings made that decision to pick the young passer who they selected 10th overall in the 2024 NFL Draft over a washed up quarterback who spends more time complaining during weekly appearances on the nationally televised "Pat McAfee Show" that he doesn't like being in the public eye, it has felt like Russini has made it her mission to publicly bash McCarthy whenever she has had the opportunity.
