5.1 Magnitude Earthquake Rocks Set of FS1, But It Will NOT Stop James Jones From Comparing Derek Carr to Baker Mayfield

Something about the way James Jones tried to plow right through that as if nothing was happening cracked me up. A 5.1 magnitude earthquake hit California this morning near Los Angeles. Nothing too out of the ordinary for them. Although from what I'm seeing, there's been a handful of small earthquakes in a short period of time out there, and California is overdue for a big one.

So maybe there's a little cause for concern. But individually, this particular quake wasn't too overwhelming. Had it happened in New York City, you'd be hearing about it for the next month. But not on the San Andreas Fault line. It did, however, shake the shit out of the studio during this morning's taping of FS1's hit show (?) Facility. 

But James Jones didn't even blink. He doesn't have time for that nonsense. We're barely 1 week into the 2024 NFL season. Facility is fighting tooth and nail for viewership, and there are far more important matters at hand than a measly little 5.1 tremor. James was in the throes of a Derek Carr vs Baker Mayfield take that was of the utmost importance. He was disgusted that his co-hosts would be so unprofessional as to address the fact that the television screen was shaking violently. Chase Daniel, who has never experienced an earthquake in his life, was ready to shut the whole thing down. James Jones, on the other hand, probably thought the earth was shaking due to the veracity of his mid-tier QB comparison. He was more concerned with the fact that if they stopped the conversation for 30 seconds, the people might not have time to hear him address Debo Samuel's contested catch rate at the end of the show. 

Ok, I suppose it probably has more to do with the fact that James Jones was born in San Jose, has spent a majority of his life on the west coast, and has probably experienced that level of earthquake 100 times in his life. But either way, I admire how he would have talked through that earthquake without giving it a mention had the rest of the Facility crew not so rudely forced him to stop. We throw around the word football guy a lot here at Barstool Sports, but that's a football guy right there. He was ready to go out doing what he loves. If the big one ever does hit California, and FS1 is live on air talking QB's... Chase Daniel, Emmanuel Acho, and LeSean McCoy will be halfway out the building, and James Jones will still be speculating on the health of Kirk Cousins achilles as the ceiling collapses on top of him.
