I have heard the people and I will now stop calling JJ McCarthy the kid. His fiancee is pregnant anyway (popgun wedding), so that makes it extra dumb

Giving up the perfect opportunity. JJ McCarthy is the kid. His child? The grandkid. THE DAD JOKES ABOUND

Counterpoint: Everyone that's playing professional sports is now younger than I am with the exception of Aaron Rodgers. Sorry, if you were born when I was a brooding teenager listening to System of a Down in 2002, it might take me a minute to break the "kid" habit.

It was a sad day for me when Jamie Moyer retired.

Same. The voice in my head that shows up after a few beers could no longer confidently slur “I can still throw faster than a major league pitcher…”

I became older than every player the instant Tom Brady retired (he’s a couple months older than me). McCarthy will be the first QB I root for who is young enough for me to be his dad. Odd feeling.

it’s the right of an unc to call his juniors “kid” no matter their life stage

I give him two years under center before you have to move on. He's the anti-Kirk and in the Viking's context "kid" makes sense. If he wins, great. A new nickname will come. If not, "the kid" is a nice ironic moniker for a failed savior.

“That young feller sure has a good head on his shoulders” “That young feller sure can scoot” Things of that nature

Even though I despise all things Michigan, I like that you refer to him as The Kid. Especially with the Minnesota/Prince Connection. It just fits.

Which people? If you’re over 40 and the 20 year olds in question haven’t been in a literal war I’m pretty sure it’s ok

If he gets us to a Super Bowl I will of course call him “Your Excellency” or whatever he’d like
