Actually, it's really, it's really amazing. 27 00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:48,400 Speaker 1: I don't hate anybody. I'm I'm I'm a reporter. I'm 28 00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:50,840 Speaker 1: not a fan. I don't hate the Patriots. I don't 29 00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:53,200 Speaker 1: care if they win or lose. I don't care if 30 00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:57,720 Speaker 1: Tom Brady wins and loses. I don't care if no, 31 00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:01,120 Speaker 1: I don't I'm one of the most objective reporters who 32 00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:03,560 Speaker 1: has ever covered Tom Brady. I'm calling it the way 33 00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:06,080 Speaker 1: I see it, and a lot of people, Hey, Chris 34 00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:08,920 Speaker 1: Canty and everybody else. I know, we had a little 35 00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:13,000 Speaker 1: fireworks this morning. But it's all good. Really, I don't 36 00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:15,440 Speaker 1: think Brady and objective is what I is what I 37 00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:17,280 Speaker 1: get when I when I think of you and looking 38 00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:19,679 Speaker 1: at and on this and I'm a bleeping Jets fan 39 00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:22,440 Speaker 1: and I'm saying this. I mean, I mean, look, I've 40 00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:24,840 Speaker 1: had to watch Tom Brady just work my division for 41 00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:27,320 Speaker 1: the past twenty years, and oh, by the way, I 42 00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:29,400 Speaker 1: had to watch Dan Marino do it for the fifteen 43 00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:31,679 Speaker 1: years before that. So I haven't had a path to 44 00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:33,839 Speaker 1: the AFC East title since I was twelve years old. 45 00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:36,800 Speaker 1: I'm a fifty still got in nineteen sixty nine, so 46 00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:39,560 Speaker 1: just hang on to that. Before I was born, as 47 00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:43,160 Speaker 1: before I was Bornsten, listen, just think about this, Okay. 48 00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:45,720 Speaker 1: When I was twelve years old, all right, I thought, hey, 49 00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:48,040 Speaker 1: everything was going to be great. Then the Dolphins draft 50 00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:50,519 Speaker 1: Dan Marino in eighty three. All right, so now here's 51 00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:53,160 Speaker 1: one of the top five quarterbacks of all time running 52 00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:57,680 Speaker 1: the AFC East for the next sixteen years. Then I 53 00:02:57,680 --> 00:02:59,760 Speaker 1: get an off year in two thousand, right, I get 54 00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:02,200 Speaker 1: a year where no one's there, and then in two 55 00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:04,080 Speaker 1: thousand and one Tom Brady shows up. And I've had 56 00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:06,400 Speaker 1: him since two thousand and one. So since I was 57 00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:09,639 Speaker 1: twelve years old, and again I'm forty nine now, I 58 00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:12,639 Speaker 1: have never had a season where the Jets and my 59 00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:15,320 Speaker 1: team are going to be, hey, we can maybe win 60 00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:18,880 Speaker 1: the division where the preseason division favorite. For thirty six 61 00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:21,360 Speaker 1: out of thirty seven years, I've been looking up at 62 00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:23,840 Speaker 1: one of the top five quarterbacks of all time. That's 63 00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:27,160 Speaker 1: been my sports life in the National Football League. No, 64 00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:30,359 Speaker 1: I get it, And finally some breathing room and then 65 00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:33,480 Speaker 1: is it automatic or it's Buffalo? Is it the Jets 66 00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:36,040 Speaker 1: or the Bills who are have favored in that division? 67 00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:38,280 Speaker 1: You know, And that's the thing we'll get to a 68 00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:40,640 Speaker 1: tongue of all in a second, is that, you know, 69 00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:44,600 Speaker 1: I know the Bills. GM talked about this yesterday that hey, 70 00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:47,920 Speaker 1: the Bills. You know, look, we're looking up at the Patriots, 71 00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:50,640 Speaker 1: and the Patriots are still the team that is running 72 00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:54,920 Speaker 1: the division. You know, a couple of unnamed personnel people 73 00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:58,520 Speaker 1: think the Dolphins, if they get the right draft at quarterback, 74 00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:00,720 Speaker 1: could potentially contend because they got a lot better in 75 00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:04,400 Speaker 1: the offseason. You know, I look at this year as 76 00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:08,000 Speaker 1: this is the first time in since Brady's been with 77 00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:11,040 Speaker 1: the Patriots that a team other than New England goes 78 00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:12,320 Speaker 1: in is the favorite. So I think you have to 79 00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:14,000 Speaker 1: make the Bills the favorite. All right, they were in 80 00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:18,880 Speaker 1: the playoffs last year. They got still, but I think 81 00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:21,160 Speaker 1: you're right, Yeah, I mean, look, I look, I think 82 00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:23,200 Speaker 1: they're all gonna be better this year. But I think 83 00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:25,680 Speaker 1: the Bills, what they accomplished are you know, you got 84 00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:27,840 Speaker 1: to look at them as the favorite. But I see 85 00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:30,599 Speaker 1: this is, you know, a season where I think everybody's 86 00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:32,680 Speaker 1: gonna you be doing a five hundred dance, and I 87 00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:34,640 Speaker 1: think that's what the Patriots are gonna wind up doing. 88 00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:37,080 Speaker 1: I mean, they've lost a lot, you know, They've not 89 00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:39,360 Speaker 1: not just Brady, lost other players. They didn't replace them 90 00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:42,360 Speaker 1: in free agency. This is kind of a bridge reboot 91 00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:44,440 Speaker 1: type year for New England. Look, they're going forward with 92 00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:48,120 Speaker 1: Jared Stidham, Brian Hoyer and whoever they wind up getting 93 00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:49,640 Speaker 1: in the draft, which I think when it comes down 94 00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:51,680 Speaker 1: to it, they'll take Jalen Hurts late and they'll try 95 00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:53,599 Speaker 1: to turn him into the next Jimmy Garoppolo, you know, 96 00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:56,360 Speaker 1: waiting for a year or two. But you know this 97 00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:58,880 Speaker 1: is they're not that talented. You know, as you said, 98 00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:01,200 Speaker 1: they were the most overrated eight no team in NFL history. 99 00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:03,680 Speaker 1: They've gotten old. They don't have a lot of playmakers. 100 00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:06,680 Speaker 1: But you know Belichick is dying to prove that. Hey, 101 00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:09,520 Speaker 1: every all that's attention on Tom Brady, watch me win 102 00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:12,640 Speaker 1: with nothing, right, watch me win with absolutely nothing. And 103 00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:16,400 Speaker 1: because of Belichick they'll stay in contention. But I see 104 00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:18,440 Speaker 1: the pages like kind of like a five hundred ish 105 00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:20,880 Speaker 1: team where they'll contend for most of the season and 106 00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:23,839 Speaker 1: the rest of the AFC East will probably be five hundred. 107 00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:26,680 Speaker 1: Ishes well, it'll be competitive, it won't be a great division, 108 00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:29,159 Speaker 1: but that's kind of the reality for New England because 109 00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:31,640 Speaker 1: they've lost a lot. They've they've not signed anybody in 110 00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:34,400 Speaker 1: free agency, and let's face it, now that Brady's not there, 111 00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:36,840 Speaker 1: who's gonna go there as a free agent, knowing all 112 00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:39,640 Speaker 1: the horror stories about New England and how Belichick treats everybody, 113 00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:42,120 Speaker 1: and Brady had to leave and Gronk had to retire. 114 00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:45,119 Speaker 1: I mean, I think they can be around five hundred, 115 00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:47,440 Speaker 1: but I think that's about where you can expect them 116 00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:49,560 Speaker 1: to top out at. I think that's fair. I think 117 00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:52,480 Speaker 1: that's a fair analysis. It's hard to believe that they're 118 00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:57,200 Speaker 1: not winning the division. Other teams are better and it'll 119 00:05:57,240 --> 00:06:00,760 Speaker 1: be interesting just to see what Bill Belichick can do um, 120 00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:05,240 Speaker 1: especially because I think it has to be a defensive 121 00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:08,039 Speaker 1: led team, you know, it has to be something about that, 122 00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:10,800 Speaker 1: and then have a quarterback who can make some plays 123 00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:13,520 Speaker 1: right and not make any big mistakes. That that that's 124 00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:16,480 Speaker 1: the only way they're going to be competitive. Because I 125 00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:19,720 Speaker 1: don't see it. I don't see what they have to 126 00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:22,480 Speaker 1: offer a stand him. We don't even know for real, 127 00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:25,360 Speaker 1: I mean, what kind of quarterback he's gonna be. Obviously 128 00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:28,360 Speaker 1: they see him in practice. We've seen some players come 129 00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:30,400 Speaker 1: out Jason and say how much they like him, and 130 00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:33,400 Speaker 1: they think he's gonna be good. But that's all what 131 00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:34,840 Speaker 1: are they What do you expect him to say, to 132 00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:38,000 Speaker 1: come out and say, this guy's terrible. We have no shot, 133 00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:40,960 Speaker 1: you know what I mean? Like that's when we stop 134 00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:43,080 Speaker 1: the presses and I want to read that story, but 135 00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:46,520 Speaker 1: we never see that story. Now, look, are you believing 136 00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:48,400 Speaker 1: these rumors the past few days that you know, the 137 00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:50,520 Speaker 1: Boston Globe is saying the Patriots could make a big 138 00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:53,720 Speaker 1: move up for two a tongue, I mean, in the 139 00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:55,919 Speaker 1: in the end, I'd love to see that that gutsy 140 00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:59,520 Speaker 1: kind of moved. But I can't believe. What are the assets. 141 00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:02,760 Speaker 1: What I'm trying to pin They gotta give up draft 142 00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:04,920 Speaker 1: picks for this year next year, and you know Belichick's 143 00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:06,720 Speaker 1: not going to give up all those picks all the 144 00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:08,320 Speaker 1: way to move up to get you know, just to 145 00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:11,000 Speaker 1: get to even if Matt Patricia gives them a sweetheart 146 00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:13,000 Speaker 1: type deal and Matt Joe, well, you've done a lot 147 00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:14,440 Speaker 1: for me, coach, so here you go just just take 148 00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:16,320 Speaker 1: the number three overall pick. I don't care. I mean, 149 00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:18,640 Speaker 1: I really that would be a lot that would be Lions, 150 00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:22,520 Speaker 1: like you know, unfortunately, but even I can't see that 151 00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:24,240 Speaker 1: for the lot. I think that would be a mistake. 152 00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:26,960 Speaker 1: And then you don't even know where the Patriots picks 153 00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:28,680 Speaker 1: are gonna be, do you know what I mean? It 154 00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:31,320 Speaker 1: ain't like their perennial and you have a chance at 155 00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:33,200 Speaker 1: some top pick, you don't. They might be middle of 156 00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:36,320 Speaker 1: the road, middle middle kind of picks. So I don't know. 157 00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:39,400 Speaker 1: I don't see that happen, and I think that's wishful thinking. 158 00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:42,360 Speaker 1: I get it. You know, there are always people who 159 00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:44,440 Speaker 1: want to make the best deal for the team that 160 00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:46,360 Speaker 1: they like or the team they're covering, and they come 161 00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:49,360 Speaker 1: up with some stuff. But I don't see that, you know. 162 00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:53,840 Speaker 1: And the draft really does come down to Tah and 163 00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:56,480 Speaker 1: what the Lions are gonna do at number three, right, 164 00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:59,640 Speaker 1: because the last couple of weeks we know a few 165 00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:02,400 Speaker 1: things certain. Number one, that the Bengals are going to 166 00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:04,920 Speaker 1: be locked in on Joe Burrow. It's too late for 167 00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:07,120 Speaker 1: them to try to make a move to go to 168 00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:10,080 Speaker 1: Towah simply because look at the circumstances in the world 169 00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:13,800 Speaker 1: right now, traveling and seeing athletes and trying to work 170 00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:15,680 Speaker 1: them out and get a feel for them is much 171 00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:18,440 Speaker 1: more difficult. It's going to be harder for TWOAH to 172 00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:21,200 Speaker 1: rise up past Burrow and what he was able to 173 00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:23,840 Speaker 1: accomplish last year. So we have the Bengals will be 174 00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:27,040 Speaker 1: locked in on Burrow, and it looks like the Redskins 175 00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:29,440 Speaker 1: are locked in on Chase Young at number two. Now 176 00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:31,920 Speaker 1: this is not the right decision because it's not like 177 00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:34,400 Speaker 1: Dwayne Haskins. You drafted me, looked like he was going 178 00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:37,080 Speaker 1: to be a world beater. But the Redskins have decided 179 00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:40,200 Speaker 1: we like Haskins. We're bringing in Kyle Allen, and we're 180 00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:42,480 Speaker 1: gonna do what the Giants did two years ago is 181 00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:45,240 Speaker 1: say we have no choice but to take say Quon Barkley. 182 00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:48,199 Speaker 1: The guy's a generational talent, and you know, Barkley was 183 00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:50,040 Speaker 1: really good as rookie year and he was just okay 184 00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:52,480 Speaker 1: last year. But that's what the Redskins are gonna say, Oh, 185 00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:54,560 Speaker 1: we have no choice but to take Chase Young, you know, 186 00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:56,240 Speaker 1: because they want to get in front of it that 187 00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:58,000 Speaker 1: if they don't take TWOA and he turns out to 188 00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:00,599 Speaker 1: be a star. Well, Chase Young looked like he was 189 00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:03,400 Speaker 1: going to be the best defensive player in the draft 190 00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:06,040 Speaker 1: since Lawrence Taylor, So they're over hyping him to make 191 00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:07,960 Speaker 1: it seem like they have no choice but to take 192 00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:09,800 Speaker 1: him now, whether that's right or wrong, and I think 193 00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:12,679 Speaker 1: it's wrong. That seems like that's where they're going. So 194 00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:17,080 Speaker 1: now three is where the draft really changes, and the 195 00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:20,600 Speaker 1: Lions can put the NFL on one track or another, 196 00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:22,960 Speaker 1: depending on what they want to do, because if they 197 00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:26,640 Speaker 1: sit at three and they take Tuah, they can then 198 00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:30,320 Speaker 1: trade Matthew Stafford somewhere, whether it's the Patriots or the Chargers, 199 00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:34,559 Speaker 1: and Tuah tries to revamp the Lions moribund franchise, and 200 00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:37,600 Speaker 1: maybe Matthew Stafford catches lightning in a bottle somewhere else, 201 00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:40,560 Speaker 1: or they trade out of the pick because someone's gonna 202 00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:41,800 Speaker 1: want to come up to try to get to it, 203 00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:44,240 Speaker 1: because he's rising up draft boards, which you knew he 204 00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:46,880 Speaker 1: was going to do once he got healthy, and someone 205 00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:49,000 Speaker 1: else is gonna then take Tuah and it's going to 206 00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:52,400 Speaker 1: be the Chargers or the Dolphins or the Patriots or 207 00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:55,160 Speaker 1: somebody else, and that changes the course of NFL history. 208 00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:57,640 Speaker 1: Because look, there was a reason why there was tank 209 00:09:57,679 --> 00:09:59,839 Speaker 1: for Tuah. This guy was that good. All he did 210 00:09:59,880 --> 00:10:02,800 Speaker 1: was get hurt and now he's healthy. Yeah, it'll be 211 00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:06,160 Speaker 1: it should I just don't see I'm with you. I 212 00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:09,800 Speaker 1: think the Lions. If I'm the Lions on with that pick, 213 00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:12,840 Speaker 1: I would think about two of you had a decade 214 00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:15,480 Speaker 1: of Matthew Stafford. Whether you want to pin it all 215 00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:17,480 Speaker 1: on them or not, the bottom line is they haven't 216 00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:20,600 Speaker 1: gotten it done. They've made the playoffs I think three times. 217 00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:24,400 Speaker 1: No playoff wins. They have one playoff win since nineteen 218 00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:28,440 Speaker 1: fifty seven, which seems almost impossible when you think about 219 00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:32,280 Speaker 1: the NFL, how it's set up for parody. We used 220 00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:35,600 Speaker 1: to look at teams the New Orleans Aids, Tampa Bay 221 00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:40,600 Speaker 1: Bucks when they had the creamsicle uniforms, the Cardinals in Arizona, 222 00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:44,120 Speaker 1: and all three of those franchises that used to be 223 00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:47,240 Speaker 1: laughing stocks in the NFL have all gone to the 224 00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:51,120 Speaker 1: Super Bowl, and one except for the Cardinals, who Santonio 225 00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:53,000 Speaker 1: Holmes took a Super Bowl away from them in the 226 00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:55,680 Speaker 1: waning minutes of that Super Bowl. But other than that, 227 00:10:56,160 --> 00:10:58,960 Speaker 1: the Lions haven't even sniffed it. Go back to that 228 00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:03,600 Speaker 1: one playoff win ninety one. Do you remember it? Nineteen 229 00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:06,960 Speaker 1: ninety one? Maybe you're too young, but that's when they 230 00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:10,560 Speaker 1: beat the Cowboys with Troy Yakman and Emmett Smith and 231 00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:13,480 Speaker 1: all those guys. They the Lions blew them out at 232 00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:16,880 Speaker 1: the Silver Dome. And I'll never forget watching that game 233 00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:22,040 Speaker 1: because John Madden, right as the game ended said, ladies 234 00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:25,119 Speaker 1: and gentlemen, you're watching the two teams of the nineties, 235 00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:29,400 Speaker 1: the Lions and the Cowboys. You're gonna hear so much 236 00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:32,800 Speaker 1: more about these two teams in the next decade. That's 237 00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:36,120 Speaker 1: exactly what he said. And guess what, Cowboys went on 238 00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:38,000 Speaker 1: to win three out of four Super Bowls and the 239 00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:40,800 Speaker 1: Lions never got there. But the Lions were actually a 240 00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:44,040 Speaker 1: step ahead of that Cowboys team and had beaten them 241 00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:47,800 Speaker 1: with all their stars the year before. So if I'm 242 00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:51,160 Speaker 1: the Lions, things haven't worked out after a decade of 243 00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:54,959 Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford, I need to change my franchise and what's 244 00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:57,120 Speaker 1: going on. And I'd step out there and make a 245 00:11:57,280 --> 00:12:00,720 Speaker 1: change and go for two up and move on from 246 00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:05,360 Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford. That wasn't even a big game from Barry Sanders, right, 247 00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:08,080 Speaker 1: didn't Eric Kramer throw for like four hundred yards in 248 00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:10,400 Speaker 1: that game. I mean, he's such a huge game. Look, 249 00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:13,520 Speaker 1: but can you imagine that that that that they beat 250 00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:16,920 Speaker 1: that Cowboys dynasty in the playoffs? Oh yeah, yeah. Look, 251 00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:19,760 Speaker 1: and you want to talk about underachieving, you're talking about 252 00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:23,240 Speaker 1: a Lions team that had since nineteen ninety one. Right, 253 00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:28,079 Speaker 1: they go Barry Sanders into Herman Moore into Calvin Johnson, 254 00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:30,560 Speaker 1: three of the best players at their position in the 255 00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:32,680 Speaker 1: past thirty years, and they couldn't take advantage of that. 256 00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:35,280 Speaker 1: Don't forget at all. And Dominckin Sue was on that 257 00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:37,920 Speaker 1: team as well. And if you go back and look, 258 00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:42,360 Speaker 1: I think his last year before he bolted from there, 259 00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:46,120 Speaker 1: they had one of like the top five defense in 260 00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:49,200 Speaker 1: the NFL that year and they got nothing out of it, 261 00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:54,080 Speaker 1: even with Stafford, even with um, Calvin Johnson and Dominckin Sue. 262 00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:58,520 Speaker 1: Nothing happened there. Yeah, Wayne Fonts out coaching Jimmy Johnson. 263 00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:01,000 Speaker 1: I mean, who'd think it? Uh, you know, But but 264 00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:02,920 Speaker 1: there's even there's more to it than that. And it 265 00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:06,440 Speaker 1: should be easier for the Lions because here they are 266 00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:08,199 Speaker 1: sitting at three. Right, Like I said, this is where 267 00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:10,400 Speaker 1: NFL history is going to change because of what they 268 00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:14,520 Speaker 1: do at three. They've had Stafford for a decade, and 269 00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:17,640 Speaker 1: I think he can go someplace and still be really 270 00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:20,240 Speaker 1: good because, yes, he's coming off an injury, but generally 271 00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:22,400 Speaker 1: the guy's pretty healthy. You know, this is not the 272 00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:25,640 Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford you know China doll from, you know, early 273 00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:27,800 Speaker 1: on in his career. Yeah, the first couple of years 274 00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:31,080 Speaker 1: he was right. But he's someone that's that's pretty healthy 275 00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:34,400 Speaker 1: and he's going to give you a pretty consistent thirty touchdowns, 276 00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:37,920 Speaker 1: twelve interceptions, forty five forty eight hundred yards. So in 277 00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:40,880 Speaker 1: the right system, with different coaching, could he go someplace 278 00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:43,000 Speaker 1: and and and be really good and be a team 279 00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:44,640 Speaker 1: that can be a quarterback I can lead the team 280 00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:46,240 Speaker 1: in the playoffs. Yeah, I think he'd be great with 281 00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:48,800 Speaker 1: the Chargers. I think he'd be really good with the Patriots. 282 00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:51,640 Speaker 1: He could do that, and you could get something for him. 283 00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:53,760 Speaker 1: It's not that you're gonna get you know, three first 284 00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:56,040 Speaker 1: in a second, but you will get something decent from 285 00:13:56,080 --> 00:13:59,760 Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford because of his age, still relatively young. He's 286 00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:02,240 Speaker 1: third too. It's not like in the next three years 287 00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:04,920 Speaker 1: he's going to really you know, have a downtick, you know, 288 00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:07,400 Speaker 1: he's not doesn't have a physical running style like Cam Newton, 289 00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:09,680 Speaker 1: so he's gonna continue on to be in his prime. 290 00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:12,600 Speaker 1: But mainly it's when you're picking it three and you 291 00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:15,920 Speaker 1: can get your quarterback, franchise quarterback for the next decade, 292 00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:18,320 Speaker 1: which you're gonna get with Tuah, and you wouldn't have 293 00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:20,320 Speaker 1: to pay Matthew Stafford any more of his money. And 294 00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:23,480 Speaker 1: really the Stafford contract is not that big a deal anymore. 295 00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:25,440 Speaker 1: He's only making twenty million a year the next couple 296 00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:27,640 Speaker 1: of years. That's a bargain now, I mean it was 297 00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:30,040 Speaker 1: it was so far overpaid a couple of years ago, 298 00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:32,400 Speaker 1: but now it's a bargain that it should be pretty 299 00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:35,040 Speaker 1: easy to say, Okay, now we're gonna go with Tuah 300 00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:37,560 Speaker 1: because this guy was the number one pick in the 301 00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:39,480 Speaker 1: draft for two years. We couldn't wait for this guy 302 00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:41,480 Speaker 1: to come out. Right. People forget that while they're talking 303 00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:43,400 Speaker 1: about Trevor Lawrence. Oh, Trevor is gonna be so good? 304 00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:46,080 Speaker 1: You know, two years ago it was, Hey, we're talking 305 00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:48,360 Speaker 1: about two a tongue of viola being that good. And 306 00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:50,760 Speaker 1: so it shouldn't be that tough for the Lions. To say, Okay, 307 00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:53,560 Speaker 1: we're gonna take Tuah and he's our guy, and we're 308 00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:55,520 Speaker 1: gonna trade Matthew Stafford to get a second and a 309 00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:57,400 Speaker 1: third or a second and a fourth, and we're gonna 310 00:14:57,400 --> 00:15:00,560 Speaker 1: get pretty good players for him and Revam the team, 311 00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:02,760 Speaker 1: you know. But on the end, it is the Lions, 312 00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:05,360 Speaker 1: and I'm sure they'll do this safe thing, which as well, 313 00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:07,240 Speaker 1: we can get a bunch of good draft picks and 314 00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:09,280 Speaker 1: we'll move out of number three, which is probably what 315 00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:11,040 Speaker 1: they're gonna wind up doing. But it should be a 316 00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:13,480 Speaker 1: lot easier decision than than how it's going right now. 317 00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:15,880 Speaker 1: We should we should know already that two is going 318 00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:17,400 Speaker 1: to wind up being a Lion because of how the 319 00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:20,160 Speaker 1: draft is gonna go. Yeah, I just don't. It would 320 00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:23,880 Speaker 1: be so unling, like that's not what they do. They 321 00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:27,600 Speaker 1: still feel good to have Matthew Stafford and be eight 322 00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:30,720 Speaker 1: and eight, nine and seven, he's never won a division. 323 00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:34,480 Speaker 1: I go back and there's two instances where you might say, well, 324 00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:38,800 Speaker 1: they got terrible management. They don't have a running game, 325 00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:41,080 Speaker 1: they don't have this, they don't have that. There were 326 00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:43,720 Speaker 1: two moments when I really looked at the lines and said, 327 00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:47,400 Speaker 1: here's a chance for Matthew Stafford to really do something 328 00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:49,920 Speaker 1: and change the culture. And I don't know if you 329 00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:53,080 Speaker 1: remembers a few years back when Green Bay came into 330 00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:55,600 Speaker 1: Detroit Jason for the last game of the year. Do 331 00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:59,000 Speaker 1: you remember that with a division on the line, and 332 00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:01,920 Speaker 1: all the lines had to dude was beat Aaron Rodgers 333 00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:05,760 Speaker 1: and the Packers at home. They would have won the division. 334 00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:08,720 Speaker 1: They would have given themselves a first round by and 335 00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:12,040 Speaker 1: a playoff game at ford Field, where they're much better 336 00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:14,600 Speaker 1: than when they go on the road. And they got 337 00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:16,960 Speaker 1: blown out basically. You know, they scored a couple of 338 00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:19,680 Speaker 1: late touchdowns to make the score look better, but they 339 00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:22,760 Speaker 1: didn't win. Also, when they played the playoff game in 340 00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:25,760 Speaker 1: Dallas against the Cowboys, you know, there was a bad 341 00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:28,280 Speaker 1: called by the official. Everybody says, oh, look, the Lions 342 00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:32,200 Speaker 1: always get jobbed the officials. Whatever. They were still in 343 00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:35,200 Speaker 1: that game, Stafford got the ball back with two and 344 00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:38,600 Speaker 1: a half minutes to go and two timeouts and it 345 00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:41,520 Speaker 1: was four and out. That was your chance that, despite 346 00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:44,400 Speaker 1: everything else that was going on, you had a chance 347 00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:47,600 Speaker 1: to march the team down right and win the football game. 348 00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:51,120 Speaker 1: And it would have been a great signature win. The 349 00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:53,640 Speaker 1: big thing is after a decade, it's hard for you 350 00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:57,280 Speaker 1: to even figure out and put your finger on a 351 00:16:57,320 --> 00:17:01,600 Speaker 1: signature win for Matthew Stafford after decade, it's mind boggling. 352 00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:05,960 Speaker 1: He was the number one overall pick and sometimes, just sometimes, 353 00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:09,159 Speaker 1: when you have a special quarterback, he can win games 354 00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:11,560 Speaker 1: when the running games did not there, or when the 355 00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:14,040 Speaker 1: defense isn't as good as it needs to be or 356 00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:18,800 Speaker 1: players are down. That's what franchise quarterbacks and great quarterbacks 357 00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:22,680 Speaker 1: do and Matthew Stafford hasn't been able to do that. 358 00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:25,560 Speaker 1: That's why I give him the nickname stat Padford because 359 00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:29,320 Speaker 1: he pads his stats. But he doesn't win any big games. 360 00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:31,840 Speaker 1: But you don't think. You don't think with a change 361 00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:34,439 Speaker 1: of scene and it is Lions are the Lions. If 362 00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:37,040 Speaker 1: he goes to the Chargers, suddenly he's gonna struggle. I 363 00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:39,040 Speaker 1: mean I think he's he could throw thirty five touchdowns 364 00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:41,159 Speaker 1: with the Chargers. I mean, they have so many weapons there. 365 00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:43,960 Speaker 1: You don't think he'd be good with Belichick and McDaniels 366 00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:46,919 Speaker 1: in New England and and cut down on on turnovers 367 00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:49,159 Speaker 1: and be I don't know. I don't know yet. You 368 00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:51,320 Speaker 1: know why, I don't know, because he hasn't played in 369 00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:54,760 Speaker 1: any big games, Like he really hasn't, So I don't know. 370 00:17:55,359 --> 00:17:59,080 Speaker 1: Is it different, Jason, when you when you're a quarterback 371 00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:02,040 Speaker 1: and you're down twenty won nothing and then you're able 372 00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:03,960 Speaker 1: to be able to throw the football and then not 373 00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:06,359 Speaker 1: gonna press you to just gonna have you eat up 374 00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:08,159 Speaker 1: clock and throw the ball in front of you. Do 375 00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:10,040 Speaker 1: you know what I mean? Like? How many of those 376 00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:14,080 Speaker 1: games are you starting when the games matter and what 377 00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:16,760 Speaker 1: performance you can do. That's the issue that I have 378 00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:20,160 Speaker 1: is so many of his games he starts where he's 379 00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:23,399 Speaker 1: in the hole, and it's much easier at that point. 380 00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:26,240 Speaker 1: You can't run the football. You're down twenty one nothing 381 00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:29,000 Speaker 1: or seventeen nothing, right, all you do is throw the 382 00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:31,159 Speaker 1: football to try to get back in the game, and 383 00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:33,800 Speaker 1: oftentimes they allow you to throw in front of him. 384 00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:36,720 Speaker 1: Twitter at how about a Fresca rob at Rob Parker 385 00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:39,720 Speaker 1: FS one the Dan Patrick Show Here at Fox Sports Radio, 386 00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:42,280 Speaker 1: Jason Smith, Rob Parker in for Dan and the Dan Nets. 387 00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:45,000 Speaker 1: We got Marcellus Wiley stopping by to talk football with 388 00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:47,119 Speaker 1: us in a few minutes.

As former Jets and Bill's head 401 00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:35,439 Speaker 1: coach Rex Ryan making some news this hour, Rob Parker 402 00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:38,199 Speaker 1: as he went on ESPN early this morning and was 403 00:19:38,560 --> 00:19:41,199 Speaker 1: asked about Amari Cooper, who signed a big contract with 404 00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:44,280 Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys. You know, five years, one hundred million dollars. 405 00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:47,760 Speaker 1: And let's just say that Rex has decided he's not 406 00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:50,440 Speaker 1: a big fan of a Marie Cooper. Take a listen 407 00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:53,399 Speaker 1: to me. This is the biggest and disappearing act in 408 00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:56,560 Speaker 1: the National Football League. He doesn't show up on the road, 409 00:19:56,840 --> 00:19:59,880 Speaker 1: he doesn't show up against when the competition's good, when 410 00:19:59,880 --> 00:20:03,280 Speaker 1: he he's against the top corners, that guy disappears. This 411 00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:06,040 Speaker 1: is who he is, and Dan he doesn't love football, 412 00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:08,639 Speaker 1: hell with it. He stops his routes, he does all this. 413 00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:11,280 Speaker 1: I wouldn't have paid this turd no way in hell. 414 00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:15,320 Speaker 1: All right, So that I got a problem with this, Okay, 415 00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:18,840 Speaker 1: So the analysis of Amari Cooper of a player. Look, 416 00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:22,159 Speaker 1: Rex has done enough in his NFL career as a 417 00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:24,560 Speaker 1: coach to earn the right to say what he feels 418 00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:27,200 Speaker 1: about a player, right to say I feel that Amari 419 00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:32,159 Speaker 1: Cooper this is an overrated signing. He disappears on plays, 420 00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:34,240 Speaker 1: he stops his routes. I mean, this is stuff he 421 00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:37,159 Speaker 1: sees and has seen as a head coach. And I 422 00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:39,480 Speaker 1: get that. You know, look, Amari Cooper has done you know, 423 00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:41,800 Speaker 1: I've had a pretty good career numbers wise. I mean, look, 424 00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:43,919 Speaker 1: he's he's still put you know, four years, he's been 425 00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:46,000 Speaker 1: a Pro Bowl player. But Rex has earned the right 426 00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:48,359 Speaker 1: to have that opinion. But now you go on TV 427 00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:51,880 Speaker 1: and you call a guy a turd, that mean that's 428 00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:54,480 Speaker 1: that you're going over the line there, that's crossing the line. 429 00:20:54,640 --> 00:20:57,680 Speaker 1: I mean that that that word you could I love 430 00:20:57,680 --> 00:21:00,600 Speaker 1: a strong opinion, you know, I do, Jason, and there's 431 00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:04,119 Speaker 1: nothing wrong with that. But that word used in that 432 00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:08,119 Speaker 1: situation of circumstance is over the line. It really is, 433 00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:10,879 Speaker 1: you know, and it's it's kind of of part and 434 00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:13,840 Speaker 1: parcel to who Rex Ryan is, you know. But I 435 00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:16,960 Speaker 1: feel like Rex has hit the point where it look 436 00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:18,960 Speaker 1: when he was going to be an ex head coach, 437 00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:21,320 Speaker 1: right he was getting into the broadcast booth, so many 438 00:21:21,320 --> 00:21:23,440 Speaker 1: people said, Oh, Rex is gonna be so great, He's 439 00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:26,240 Speaker 1: gonna be unfiltered, He's gonna be awesome. And I knew 440 00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:28,879 Speaker 1: he was just gonna be okay because he still wanted 441 00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:30,800 Speaker 1: to get back in the league as a head coach. Right. 442 00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:33,479 Speaker 1: He still thinks of himself as the Jets head coach. Right, 443 00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:36,080 Speaker 1: he still thinks he's he's the head coach of the Jets. 444 00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:38,000 Speaker 1: You see him talk. He still thinks that's his job. 445 00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:40,680 Speaker 1: You know, He's been gone for years now. But when 446 00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:42,560 Speaker 1: he got into the broadcast booth, I knew he still 447 00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:44,359 Speaker 1: wants to be a head coach. He's gonna do what 448 00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:46,119 Speaker 1: most people do when they want to have a career 449 00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:49,240 Speaker 1: in the NFL. I'm gonna go light with my analysis. 450 00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:52,160 Speaker 1: And breakdown because I don't want to alienate myself from 451 00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:54,199 Speaker 1: the from the business and the brotherhood. I want to 452 00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:56,119 Speaker 1: be able to get back in. But now, after all 453 00:21:56,160 --> 00:21:57,960 Speaker 1: these years away, he's realized no one's given me a 454 00:21:57,960 --> 00:21:59,960 Speaker 1: head coaching job. So now screw it. I'm going to 455 00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:02,200 Speaker 1: talk like I talked to the Jets and the Bills 456 00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:04,040 Speaker 1: when I was there coach, and I'm gonna call a 457 00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:06,600 Speaker 1: guy a tird if you want to do that behind 458 00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:09,679 Speaker 1: closed doors when you're on having a film session and 459 00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:11,400 Speaker 1: you want to say, look, and I want to tell 460 00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:14,320 Speaker 1: you Revs or I want to tell you whoever he 461 00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:17,160 Speaker 1: used to find Gilmore.

But you 465 00:22:23,640 --> 00:22:25,320 Speaker 1: go on TV and you call a guy a tirt. 466 00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:28,119 Speaker 1: It's like it's the you know, like or not like 467 00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:30,440 Speaker 1: a guy, whatever you think.

Yeah, I mean it's 494 00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:58,040 Speaker 1: it's also it's disappointing, you know, it's disappointing to hear 495 00:23:58,080 --> 00:24:00,560 Speaker 1: that here's a guy I'm gonna get into name calling now, 496 00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:04,000 Speaker 1: even even though hey, you know, I'm on TV and 497 00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:05,920 Speaker 1: I'm giving my opinion and look, like I said, Rex, 498 00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:07,800 Speaker 1: Ryan has earned the right to have an opinion about 499 00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:09,760 Speaker 1: players because of what he's accomplished in his career. But 500 00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:11,560 Speaker 1: when you go down, it's like, when you go down 501 00:24:11,560 --> 00:24:14,480 Speaker 1: to name calling, it's like I stopped taking you seriously 502 00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:17,000 Speaker 1: because now it's like you're just looking for what do 503 00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:19,600 Speaker 1: you want to just start name calling or cursing. I 504 00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:21,880 Speaker 1: feel like you're just looking for attention, right, and that's 505 00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:23,800 Speaker 1: where and that's where Rex is going with this. Now, 506 00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:25,720 Speaker 1: I haven't been getting the attention I should have been 507 00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:28,560 Speaker 1: getting as an analyst because I've wanted to get back 508 00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:31,040 Speaker 1: in the league. So I've really pulled my punches and 509 00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:33,320 Speaker 1: he has. I mean, he's not been someone who's moved 510 00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:35,639 Speaker 1: the needle, you know, and everybody an ESPN thought he 511 00:24:35,680 --> 00:24:37,200 Speaker 1: was going to be when he came in. So now 512 00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:39,160 Speaker 1: what I'm gonna do is I'm just gonna I'm gonna 513 00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:41,720 Speaker 1: use language, and that's gonna and that's gonna get me noticed, 514 00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:44,679 Speaker 1: which is which is really sad. But unfortunately that's what 515 00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:47,840 Speaker 1: some people are gonna respond to in this country. Look, now, 516 00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:49,280 Speaker 1: this is gonna be a big deal today. You know 517 00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:51,040 Speaker 1: that's gonna be a big deal for Rex Ryan today, 518 00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:53,720 Speaker 1: no doubt about it. But as low as common denominator 519 00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:56,639 Speaker 1: name calling and stuff like that, that's not where you 520 00:24:56,680 --> 00:24:59,240 Speaker 1: want to go. That's not how you're to get respect 521 00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:02,560 Speaker 1: from appears, your other analysts who are on television, or 522 00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:06,359 Speaker 1: even the players. If Rex Ryan comes around and is 523 00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:09,840 Speaker 1: looking for information or whatever, are you giving them any 524 00:25:10,119 --> 00:25:12,080 Speaker 1: I don't think as a player would you give him any. 525 00:25:12,119 --> 00:25:15,040 Speaker 1: I don't think you give them anything. You can't cross 526 00:25:15,119 --> 00:25:17,960 Speaker 1: that line. That's a big mistake today. Yeah, I mean 527 00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:21,320 Speaker 1: I don't know that. I would guess, and I'm just 528 00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:24,359 Speaker 1: guessing because if I know where Rex Ryan works, you 529 00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:26,600 Speaker 1: and I both worked across the street there, and you 530 00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:29,960 Speaker 1: you understand that, you know with that, certain places fight 531 00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:33,040 Speaker 1: perception all the time. Look, this is why I always say, 532 00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:35,040 Speaker 1: you know, I've had my radio career now as long 533 00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:38,480 Speaker 1: at Fox as I've had at ESPN, and I can't 534 00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:41,119 Speaker 1: tell you how great it is to feel that I 535 00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:42,960 Speaker 1: can tweet whatever I want to as long as I 536 00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:46,240 Speaker 1: don't go overboard. I can tweet whatever I want to. 537 00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:49,400 Speaker 1: And Fox doesn't care if I'm entertaining and I'm doing 538 00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:51,640 Speaker 1: the right thing and I'm bringing strong opinions, they don't care. 539 00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:55,760 Speaker 1: But across the street they really care. And I would 540 00:25:55,840 --> 00:25:58,919 Speaker 1: bet at some point in the next hour you're going 541 00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:01,600 Speaker 1: to see some kind of statement. I was out of line, 542 00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:05,000 Speaker 1: I was overboard because guess what the cowboys are gonna 543 00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:07,159 Speaker 1: call and say, what are you guys doing? Why is 544 00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:09,600 Speaker 1: Rex Ryan calling our player a tred You're right, You're right, 545 00:26:09,600 --> 00:26:11,239 Speaker 1: you're right, We're sorry, And there's gonna be some kind 546 00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:14,400 Speaker 1: of apology either from ESPN or from Rex Ryan, because 547 00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:17,400 Speaker 1: I know how that place works. Not about it right now, 548 00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:19,679 Speaker 1: he's being called into the principal's office. You know how 549 00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:23,280 Speaker 1: it goes right joining us now on the hot line. 550 00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:26,000 Speaker 1: Speaking of guys who have been we all know across 551 00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:28,919 Speaker 1: the street. Uh, former NFL All pro you find him 552 00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:32,200 Speaker 1: on speak for yourself. Fox Sports. One NFL analyst, one 553 00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:35,400 Speaker 1: of the good guys in sports, Marcellus Wiley. Marcellis what's happening. Man, 554 00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:38,399 Speaker 1: what's up I'm doing? I'm doing great, man, sounds like 555 00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:42,400 Speaker 1: I missed the firestore. What's going on in the building. Well, 556 00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:47,000 Speaker 1: if you called Amari Cooper a tred on ESPN, what 557 00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:49,600 Speaker 1: would what would be the immediate result for you after 558 00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:52,760 Speaker 1: you got off the air? I really don't know because 559 00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:55,800 Speaker 1: I've never say nothing like that. That's what Oh no, no, 560 00:26:55,840 --> 00:26:58,560 Speaker 1: I'm not saying you would. But if that's what would reaction, 561 00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:01,760 Speaker 1: that's what Rex Ryan you did? Man, I know these 562 00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:04,320 Speaker 1: people are out of control. Man, It's so funny. I 563 00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:06,919 Speaker 1: don't care who you gonna will walk of life. You 564 00:27:06,920 --> 00:27:11,359 Speaker 1: get into this calm, controlled, air conditioned setting and you 565 00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:14,240 Speaker 1: start thinking you bigger than life, getting this guy complex. 566 00:27:14,359 --> 00:27:16,920 Speaker 1: I've been talking about people in the media and people 567 00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:21,399 Speaker 1: of platforms really being disconnected from the grind for so long, 568 00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:25,080 Speaker 1: and no lie, because I played both sides, obviously as 569 00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:28,240 Speaker 1: an athlete and now being in media. I love the 570 00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:30,959 Speaker 1: return fire from these athletes when we just sit up 571 00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:33,880 Speaker 1: there and act like we could do all things. And 572 00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:36,800 Speaker 1: so I don't know exactly the details of this, but 573 00:27:37,359 --> 00:27:40,119 Speaker 1: I don't care how sorry you are. In a professional sport, 574 00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:43,440 Speaker 1: You're not a turn You're not a scrub. It's just 575 00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:46,120 Speaker 1: all relatives. Some guys are greater than others, but they're 576 00:27:46,119 --> 00:27:51,479 Speaker 1: all black belts, so show some respect. No doubt about it. 577 00:27:51,640 --> 00:27:53,920 Speaker 1: That was over the line, and we will be hearing 578 00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:59,480 Speaker 1: more about that. Go ahead round, all right. I was 579 00:27:59,520 --> 00:28:04,480 Speaker 1: gonna say we were talking earlier about Tom Brady going 580 00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:09,080 Speaker 1: to Tampa Bay. My only question marselves, why do you 581 00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:12,119 Speaker 1: think Tom Brady didn't have as many offers? There were 582 00:28:12,119 --> 00:28:15,040 Speaker 1: a lot of teams looking for quarterbacks, four or five 583 00:28:15,080 --> 00:28:19,280 Speaker 1: teams that made moves, but Tom only had two offers. 584 00:28:19,760 --> 00:28:22,240 Speaker 1: The Chargers, who of course need to sell tickets in 585 00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:25,359 Speaker 1: that new stadium and they have some weapons. They offered 586 00:28:25,400 --> 00:28:27,960 Speaker 1: him a deal, and of course Tampa Bay, which hasn't 587 00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:30,680 Speaker 1: made the playoffs in twelve years. Why do you think 588 00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:33,600 Speaker 1: there were so few offers for Tom Brady? Was it 589 00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:37,120 Speaker 1: the money that he wanted, which was two years guaranteed, 590 00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:39,680 Speaker 1: or was it that he's forty three and we saw 591 00:28:39,680 --> 00:28:42,640 Speaker 1: a bad year from Tom Brady last year? Yeah? I 592 00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:44,760 Speaker 1: think it's it's the latter. I think it's a forty 593 00:28:44,800 --> 00:28:48,560 Speaker 1: three and it's not just so much age. It's age 594 00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:52,520 Speaker 1: and the decline. And they mapped together and they became parallel, 595 00:28:52,560 --> 00:28:55,640 Speaker 1: they became congruing. Like you saw Tom Brady win the 596 00:28:55,760 --> 00:28:58,840 Speaker 1: MVP a few years ago, and since then, all of 597 00:28:58,880 --> 00:29:02,680 Speaker 1: his numbers have to mind in major statistical categories. What 598 00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:07,200 Speaker 1: has covered that up and given it some better cosmetics 599 00:29:07,440 --> 00:29:10,000 Speaker 1: is the fact that the team has won. And you know, 600 00:29:10,080 --> 00:29:11,960 Speaker 1: he went to two of the last three Super Bowls 601 00:29:11,960 --> 00:29:14,800 Speaker 1: and won one. So we get it to a team 602 00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:18,000 Speaker 1: concept and we start saying, hey, Brady's not as bad 603 00:29:18,040 --> 00:29:20,960 Speaker 1: as advertised. But then when you get that ISO cam 604 00:29:21,320 --> 00:29:23,360 Speaker 1: and every player has been in the locker room, been 605 00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:26,280 Speaker 1: in the film room before, has seen the ISO cam. 606 00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:29,160 Speaker 1: When they don't look at the crowd, they don't even 607 00:29:29,240 --> 00:29:32,840 Speaker 1: hear the broadcasters voice, You don't see your teammates. It's 608 00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:36,239 Speaker 1: isolated on you and your performance only. And if you 609 00:29:36,280 --> 00:29:39,160 Speaker 1: look at it through that narrow lands, tom Brady has 610 00:29:39,280 --> 00:29:42,440 Speaker 1: taken a step or two back, but he still has 611 00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:45,880 Speaker 1: the physical skill set necessary to win in this league. 612 00:29:46,080 --> 00:29:48,280 Speaker 1: He's still gonna be one of the better quarterbacks in 613 00:29:48,280 --> 00:29:52,320 Speaker 1: our league. But Tom Brady's a great in terms of production, 614 00:29:52,600 --> 00:29:56,440 Speaker 1: not just Accolade. Production certainly is a little different now, 615 00:29:56,760 --> 00:29:58,760 Speaker 1: a little less than he was a few years ago. 616 00:29:59,320 --> 00:30:01,760 Speaker 1: All right. I had look up congruent to make sure 617 00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:04,160 Speaker 1: we say it on the radio, and uh, it turns 618 00:30:04,160 --> 00:30:10,720 Speaker 1: out it's okay. It means yes, Jason, don't no, you're 619 00:30:10,800 --> 00:30:14,240 Speaker 1: not And Jason, don't be Jason, don't be mad because 620 00:30:14,240 --> 00:30:16,800 Speaker 1: you didn't go to Columbia and you went to Syracuse. 621 00:30:17,320 --> 00:30:21,720 Speaker 1: Because both Marcellis and I are Columbia proud Columbia grad. 622 00:30:21,840 --> 00:30:25,200 Speaker 1: So that's right. So Jason, you wouldn't understand that going 623 00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:28,160 Speaker 1: to Syracuse. Listen, I wanted to go to college where 624 00:30:28,200 --> 00:30:36,920 Speaker 1: my team was gonna win football game. So hey, hey, Mike, 625 00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:41,680 Speaker 1: drop drop right here. We got no comeback. Still, I 626 00:30:41,760 --> 00:30:44,920 Speaker 1: still wear my my Columbia sweatshirt and hat. I don't care. 627 00:30:45,640 --> 00:30:50,360 Speaker 1: That's right. We're pride, you know. Marcellas you talked about 628 00:30:50,360 --> 00:30:53,440 Speaker 1: Brady and I kind of see the next two years 629 00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:56,480 Speaker 1: for him not like you know, look, Peyton Manning was 630 00:30:56,480 --> 00:30:58,640 Speaker 1: was different, you know. But this it's gonna kind of 631 00:30:58,680 --> 00:31:01,840 Speaker 1: play out like Joe Montana's last couple of years with 632 00:31:01,920 --> 00:31:03,960 Speaker 1: the Chiefs. I think he's going to have moments this 633 00:31:04,080 --> 00:31:06,280 Speaker 1: year where he go, boy, Brady can still do it. 634 00:31:06,400 --> 00:31:08,040 Speaker 1: He's got a lot of talent, He's got a lot 635 00:31:08,080 --> 00:31:10,920 Speaker 1: of weapons. The defense is young, it's pretty good. I 636 00:31:10,960 --> 00:31:13,520 Speaker 1: think he'll do enough, especially you're adding a playoff team. 637 00:31:13,760 --> 00:31:16,080 Speaker 1: He'll get them into the playoffs. But you're gonna still 638 00:31:16,120 --> 00:31:18,320 Speaker 1: see the decline. He's not going to find the fountain 639 00:31:18,320 --> 00:31:21,200 Speaker 1: of youth in Tampa Bay. Well, you know, it's interesting. 640 00:31:21,280 --> 00:31:25,560 Speaker 1: We're asking two different things in terms of a limited market. 641 00:31:25,960 --> 00:31:28,840 Speaker 1: And obviously you only had a couple of suitors because 642 00:31:28,840 --> 00:31:32,240 Speaker 1: of the age, the decline, the birth certificate was really 643 00:31:32,320 --> 00:31:35,640 Speaker 1: yelling at teams. But now he lands in Tampa with 644 00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:38,600 Speaker 1: those weapons, it's going to be able to dress him 645 00:31:38,680 --> 00:31:41,840 Speaker 1: up even more so than before. And he didn't have 646 00:31:41,920 --> 00:31:44,200 Speaker 1: those weapons. In New England. He had a thirty five 647 00:31:44,280 --> 00:31:47,000 Speaker 1: year old Julian Edelman who was coming off a p 648 00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:50,080 Speaker 1: D suspension because he knows he's on his last legs, 649 00:31:50,520 --> 00:31:54,040 Speaker 1: and that was your number one, your number one. Trust 650 00:31:54,040 --> 00:31:56,400 Speaker 1: me as a former defender. If we look at an 651 00:31:56,440 --> 00:31:59,880 Speaker 1: offense and they say Julian Edelman is their best threat, 652 00:32:00,280 --> 00:32:03,160 Speaker 1: you're like, oh man, this is gonna be fun. And 653 00:32:03,160 --> 00:32:06,960 Speaker 1: it wasn't fun for New England Patriots, especially offensively. Last year. 654 00:32:07,160 --> 00:32:10,400 Speaker 1: The defense was stout, it was good. Some say it 655 00:32:10,520 --> 00:32:13,640 Speaker 1: was a little over hyped based on their rankings, and 656 00:32:13,680 --> 00:32:15,720 Speaker 1: they weren't as good and we saw at the end 657 00:32:15,720 --> 00:32:17,800 Speaker 1: of the season that kind of catch up to him. 658 00:32:18,080 --> 00:32:20,560 Speaker 1: But I think tom Brady's gonna really hit the ground 659 00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:25,240 Speaker 1: running with Bruce arians his style of play, taking shots, 660 00:32:25,240 --> 00:32:28,680 Speaker 1: something that Tom Brady couldn't do necessarily last year because 661 00:32:28,680 --> 00:32:30,840 Speaker 1: he didn't have the weapons. But we've seen him do 662 00:32:30,840 --> 00:32:33,360 Speaker 1: it before in the past when he did have those weapons. 663 00:32:34,080 --> 00:32:36,320 Speaker 1: I think he could still do it physically. And now 664 00:32:36,360 --> 00:32:39,960 Speaker 1: he's gonna be with Chris Godwin, Mike Evans. You talk 665 00:32:40,040 --> 00:32:44,080 Speaker 1: about Jones in the running Game off, He's gonna he's 666 00:32:44,080 --> 00:32:46,720 Speaker 1: gonna be pretty. No matter how que he is, He's 667 00:32:46,760 --> 00:32:49,239 Speaker 1: gonna get enough makeup to make himself look beautiful next 668 00:32:49,280 --> 00:32:52,680 Speaker 1: year in trust you know what Marcella's I'm still not convinced. 669 00:32:52,760 --> 00:32:55,440 Speaker 1: I remember everybody when god Guy over the Browns last 670 00:32:55,520 --> 00:32:59,720 Speaker 1: year when the OBJ trade and they look on look 671 00:32:59,720 --> 00:33:02,680 Speaker 1: at their roster on paper and they went from a 672 00:33:02,760 --> 00:33:05,040 Speaker 1: million to one to fourteen to one to make it 673 00:33:05,080 --> 00:33:07,520 Speaker 1: to the Super Bowl. I can go on and on 674 00:33:07,560 --> 00:33:10,840 Speaker 1: and on, and you know what, the Bucks I get 675 00:33:10,840 --> 00:33:13,840 Speaker 1: it on paper. But tom Brady at forty three and 676 00:33:13,920 --> 00:33:15,960 Speaker 1: the way he looked last year, even when they were 677 00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:18,480 Speaker 1: eight NO last year, I thought that was the worst 678 00:33:18,520 --> 00:33:21,920 Speaker 1: eight NO team I had seen. I'm not convinced that 679 00:33:21,960 --> 00:33:25,000 Speaker 1: they're going to the playoffs. I'll still pick Atlanta ahead 680 00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:26,960 Speaker 1: of them. I'll still pick New Orleans ahead of them. 681 00:33:27,320 --> 00:33:31,160 Speaker 1: I'm not convinced. I still think Tom Brady has something 682 00:33:31,200 --> 00:33:35,760 Speaker 1: to prove. All I hear that, I totally get it, 683 00:33:35,880 --> 00:33:39,360 Speaker 1: Especially in football. A lot of times you look at 684 00:33:39,360 --> 00:33:41,960 Speaker 1: these teams in terms of talent and you start playing 685 00:33:41,960 --> 00:33:45,520 Speaker 1: the name game on paper. It never turns out as 686 00:33:45,560 --> 00:33:48,280 Speaker 1: good as it sounds on paper. It never does because 687 00:33:48,640 --> 00:33:53,120 Speaker 1: it doesn't factor in the intangibles, the immeasurables, the things 688 00:33:53,120 --> 00:33:55,640 Speaker 1: you just can't get a ruler out and take measure 689 00:33:55,680 --> 00:33:58,440 Speaker 1: and figure out about a person and the player, and 690 00:33:58,560 --> 00:34:02,320 Speaker 1: also the chemistry how to gonna work together. Will there 691 00:34:02,560 --> 00:34:05,600 Speaker 1: be an osmosis effect in terms of Tom Brady and 692 00:34:05,720 --> 00:34:08,840 Speaker 1: his winning just landing in that locker room and it 693 00:34:08,960 --> 00:34:13,080 Speaker 1: spreads around that locker room if it becomes contagious or 694 00:34:13,239 --> 00:34:16,200 Speaker 1: is it as tom Brady's kind of isolated as what 695 00:34:16,320 --> 00:34:19,120 Speaker 1: he used to be, but who he is now is 696 00:34:19,120 --> 00:34:22,600 Speaker 1: not igniting this team and they may not connect so 697 00:34:23,160 --> 00:34:25,960 Speaker 1: that's the scenario. But if I had to bet the house, 698 00:34:26,480 --> 00:34:28,839 Speaker 1: I wouldn't bet on that scenario. I would bet on 699 00:34:28,880 --> 00:34:31,480 Speaker 1: that Tom Brady's going to hit the right guy, hit 700 00:34:31,520 --> 00:34:34,320 Speaker 1: him on time, and if he can't push the ball 701 00:34:34,360 --> 00:34:36,880 Speaker 1: down feel like he used to, then we're going to 702 00:34:36,960 --> 00:34:40,239 Speaker 1: just open up the short the intermediate passing game and 703 00:34:40,680 --> 00:34:44,200 Speaker 1: having Oj Howard and having that tight end core, they 704 00:34:44,239 --> 00:34:47,560 Speaker 1: just have so many levels with Tom Brady is gonna 705 00:34:47,600 --> 00:34:51,120 Speaker 1: have something to feast on. So this is a buffet 706 00:34:51,200 --> 00:34:52,799 Speaker 1: right now. I think in New England it was a 707 00:34:52,840 --> 00:34:56,160 Speaker 1: little more customized and specialty to Tom Brady and his 708 00:34:56,239 --> 00:35:00,960 Speaker 1: limits and the limited options. But in Tampa it seems like, hey, man, 709 00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:03,360 Speaker 1: once you walk through the door, the world is yours. 710 00:35:03,360 --> 00:35:06,560 Speaker 1: We'll see if they could play it out, but somebody 711 00:35:06,640 --> 00:35:12,000 Speaker 1: sneezed on it, so we'll wait the worse. Oh man, 712 00:35:12,120 --> 00:35:14,760 Speaker 1: that's the worst. Hey, you think we're gonna get anything 713 00:35:14,800 --> 00:35:16,799 Speaker 1: from him? In his interview with Howard Stern next week, 714 00:35:17,120 --> 00:35:19,320 Speaker 1: he's gonna he's gonna light the Patriots up, because I 715 00:35:20,719 --> 00:35:23,520 Speaker 1: just don't see that happening with him next week. No, 716 00:35:23,680 --> 00:35:25,680 Speaker 1: not in that respect. I don't think he goes there. 717 00:35:25,840 --> 00:35:28,600 Speaker 1: His legacy is tied to New England forever more So, 718 00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:30,759 Speaker 1: why would you ever want to burn the place you 719 00:35:30,840 --> 00:35:33,040 Speaker 1: left when you know you got to return there in 720 00:35:33,120 --> 00:35:36,040 Speaker 1: terms of legacy and in terms of memory. So he's 721 00:35:36,080 --> 00:35:39,439 Speaker 1: gonna always protect the Patriots, and I think that's why 722 00:35:39,719 --> 00:35:44,879 Speaker 1: he actually quote unquote made himself the recruiter in terms 723 00:35:44,920 --> 00:35:47,560 Speaker 1: of going to Tampa Bay. He didn't let them recruit him. 724 00:35:47,880 --> 00:35:50,040 Speaker 1: He said, I want to go to Tampa Bay. And 725 00:35:50,080 --> 00:35:53,760 Speaker 1: I think that's a cleaner break from New England versus 726 00:35:53,800 --> 00:35:57,280 Speaker 1: New England having to deny Tom Brady or Tom Brady 727 00:35:57,360 --> 00:36:00,560 Speaker 1: saying something bad about New England. Therefore he go there. 728 00:36:00,800 --> 00:36:03,319 Speaker 1: So it really silences a lot of the criticism. But 729 00:36:03,640 --> 00:36:07,080 Speaker 1: we're gonna see more of his personality, and certainly in 730 00:36:07,080 --> 00:36:09,600 Speaker 1: this interview he's gonna say something that you're gonna say, 731 00:36:09,640 --> 00:36:13,719 Speaker 1: WHOA the New England Patriot tom Brady? The Patriot way 732 00:36:13,840 --> 00:36:16,920 Speaker 1: Tom Brady is behind him. I think that's what's occurring. 733 00:36:17,239 --> 00:36:20,120 Speaker 1: And it even started in New England with TV twelve. 734 00:36:20,480 --> 00:36:23,319 Speaker 1: I remember what it was, twenty thirteen. He started TV 735 00:36:23,440 --> 00:36:27,920 Speaker 1: twelve and Tom Brady and I crazy enough share a 736 00:36:28,040 --> 00:36:31,000 Speaker 1: marketing agent, so I can't blame the agent when I 737 00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:33,319 Speaker 1: don't get deals because I know Tom Brady getting all 738 00:36:33,400 --> 00:36:38,719 Speaker 1: the deals. It's not that agent, it's on Marcellus. But 739 00:36:39,200 --> 00:36:42,719 Speaker 1: I remember talking to him and just hearing behind the 740 00:36:42,800 --> 00:36:45,640 Speaker 1: scenes what tom Brady was really trying to create. And 741 00:36:45,719 --> 00:36:48,960 Speaker 1: since TB twelve started in the facility next to the 742 00:36:48,960 --> 00:36:53,280 Speaker 1: Patriots facility, and his branding, his marketing, his Facebook show, 743 00:36:53,600 --> 00:36:57,759 Speaker 1: the T shirts, him copyrighting things. Tom Brady's like, I've 744 00:36:57,760 --> 00:37:02,759 Speaker 1: been suppressed in terms of my personality enjoying my workplace. 745 00:37:03,080 --> 00:37:06,120 Speaker 1: He's had tremendous success. His trophy Bantel looks better than 746 00:37:06,160 --> 00:37:09,040 Speaker 1: any football player ever. We get on that, but we 747 00:37:09,120 --> 00:37:12,520 Speaker 1: all also do what we love and we love doing 748 00:37:12,520 --> 00:37:14,799 Speaker 1: it and we love where we are doing it. And 749 00:37:14,840 --> 00:37:16,839 Speaker 1: I think that's the part of the equation that gets 750 00:37:16,920 --> 00:37:19,120 Speaker 1: lost on people. They see a Super Bowl ring and 751 00:37:19,120 --> 00:37:21,359 Speaker 1: they think he's supposed to smile every single day, every 752 00:37:21,360 --> 00:37:25,240 Speaker 1: single way. But Tom Brady didn't enjoy to the fullest 753 00:37:25,680 --> 00:37:28,319 Speaker 1: going to work like he should. I think that's going 754 00:37:28,400 --> 00:37:31,319 Speaker 1: to change in Temple. You can follow on Twitter at 755 00:37:31,360 --> 00:37:35,200 Speaker 1: Marcellus Wiley.

I'm I gotta use congruent more 768 00:38:15,840 --> 00:38:18,319 Speaker 1: often in conversations. You know. I can't even get that out, 769 00:38:18,360 --> 00:38:20,880 Speaker 1: so I'm not even going that route.

The big NFL story this hour. 781 00:39:11,280 --> 00:39:14,040 Speaker 1: Thanks to Marcellus Wiley for stopping BYO a few minutes ago. 782 00:39:15,080 --> 00:39:18,880 Speaker 1: Rex Ryan, former Jetson Bill's head coach, went on ESPN's 783 00:39:18,920 --> 00:39:23,480 Speaker 1: Get Up earlier this morning and was talking NFL, and 784 00:39:23,760 --> 00:39:26,680 Speaker 1: Rex decided when he was asked about Amari Cooper and 785 00:39:27,040 --> 00:39:30,319 Speaker 1: Cooper's new five year, one hundred million dollar contract, he 786 00:39:30,400 --> 00:39:34,160 Speaker 1: wasn't a big fan of it. But then Rex being Rex, 787 00:39:34,400 --> 00:39:36,840 Speaker 1: went all the way to the line and then really 788 00:39:37,000 --> 00:39:39,440 Speaker 1: crossed over it. Take a listen to me. This is 789 00:39:39,440 --> 00:39:43,239 Speaker 1: the biggest disappearing act in the National Football League. He 790 00:39:43,360 --> 00:39:45,920 Speaker 1: doesn't show up on the road. He doesn't show up 791 00:39:45,960 --> 00:39:49,320 Speaker 1: against when the competition's good, when he's against the top corners, 792 00:39:49,560 --> 00:39:53,080 Speaker 1: that guy disappears. This is who he is. And Dan, 793 00:39:53,160 --> 00:39:56,040 Speaker 1: he doesn't love football. Hell with it. He stops his routes. 794 00:39:56,080 --> 00:39:58,200 Speaker 1: He does all this. I wouldn't have paid this turn, 795 00:39:58,600 --> 00:40:02,000 Speaker 1: no way in hell. All right, So he goes funny 796 00:40:02,080 --> 00:40:05,799 Speaker 1: jump in after that. I don't know. Look, you and 797 00:40:05,840 --> 00:40:07,799 Speaker 1: I are doing the show, so I don't know if 798 00:40:07,800 --> 00:40:10,080 Speaker 1: someone jumped in and said anything or if they just 799 00:40:10,239 --> 00:40:12,640 Speaker 1: very nervously tried to cover it. I mean, look, you're 800 00:40:12,640 --> 00:40:15,920 Speaker 1: not You're not expecting to hear your analysts call a 801 00:40:15,960 --> 00:40:19,360 Speaker 1: player a turd, you know, and you know, look talking 802 00:40:19,360 --> 00:40:22,319 Speaker 1: about Rex, you know this hour on the show. Look, 803 00:40:22,360 --> 00:40:25,120 Speaker 1: Rex is bombastic. He's someone We've seen this language from 804 00:40:25,200 --> 00:40:28,400 Speaker 1: him before, but this was We've seen it on Hard Knocks, 805 00:40:28,400 --> 00:40:30,759 Speaker 1: We've seen it behind the scenes as he's the head 806 00:40:30,800 --> 00:40:33,279 Speaker 1: coach of the Jets and the Bills. You are a 807 00:40:33,600 --> 00:40:37,200 Speaker 1: national analyst now and you're appearing on television and maybe 808 00:40:37,239 --> 00:40:40,160 Speaker 1: you finally decided screw it. I got a little bit 809 00:40:40,160 --> 00:40:43,360 Speaker 1: of IDGAF in me because I'm not getting back in 810 00:40:43,400 --> 00:40:45,239 Speaker 1: the NFL as a head coach, which is the job 811 00:40:45,280 --> 00:40:47,439 Speaker 1: he really wants to get back in. So now I'm 812 00:40:47,440 --> 00:40:49,239 Speaker 1: just gonna let it, let it loose. Now, I'm gonna 813 00:40:49,239 --> 00:40:51,160 Speaker 1: say whatever I want to. And then he goes and 814 00:40:51,239 --> 00:40:53,799 Speaker 1: he calls a guy a turd. Look to talk about 815 00:40:53,880 --> 00:40:57,080 Speaker 1: him being overrated and not being worth the money. That's 816 00:40:57,120 --> 00:40:59,040 Speaker 1: one thing for him to say listen. He puts up 817 00:40:59,120 --> 00:41:02,160 Speaker 1: great stats, but he you know, disappears in big games 818 00:41:02,160 --> 00:41:04,759 Speaker 1: and cuts off routes and doesn't try. Look, that's hot 819 00:41:04,800 --> 00:41:07,040 Speaker 1: take ish, and that's fine because Rex has been a 820 00:41:07,040 --> 00:41:10,000 Speaker 1: head coach. He earned he's earned that right. But Rob, 821 00:41:10,040 --> 00:41:11,600 Speaker 1: you can't. You can't just come you go on TV 822 00:41:11,640 --> 00:41:14,000 Speaker 1: and call a guy a turd? What what kind of 823 00:41:14,000 --> 00:41:16,360 Speaker 1: person are you? Where you're saying? Okay, I no longer 824 00:41:16,400 --> 00:41:19,239 Speaker 1: can just have a conversation about things. I'm gonna go 825 00:41:19,400 --> 00:41:22,040 Speaker 1: after a guy and call him a turd. Can't do it. 826 00:41:22,280 --> 00:41:27,480 Speaker 1: The name calling, and especially like for that to come 827 00:41:27,520 --> 00:41:31,279 Speaker 1: out of your mouth on national television, that's that's alarming 828 00:41:31,280 --> 00:41:33,960 Speaker 1: to me. I mean, seriously, you got to understand the 829 00:41:34,080 --> 00:41:37,239 Speaker 1: ramifications of that and what that you know, and what 830 00:41:37,360 --> 00:41:40,319 Speaker 1: that will mean to you as you go into it. 831 00:41:40,400 --> 00:41:43,239 Speaker 1: Like you say, everything else is in bounds. If you 832 00:41:43,280 --> 00:41:46,000 Speaker 1: could come up with numbers just to help your argument. 833 00:41:46,280 --> 00:41:48,440 Speaker 1: I've always said this whenever guys would call him to 834 00:41:48,520 --> 00:41:51,439 Speaker 1: my radio show years ago in Detroit and they'd rip 835 00:41:51,480 --> 00:41:54,640 Speaker 1: a player and say, you know, he can't he's not 836 00:41:54,680 --> 00:41:57,439 Speaker 1: a clutch player. He can't hit in the ninth inning 837 00:41:57,520 --> 00:42:00,000 Speaker 1: or when you need a big hit. I'd always say, 838 00:42:00,239 --> 00:42:02,160 Speaker 1: if you come on and say that, that's fine, but 839 00:42:02,200 --> 00:42:04,600 Speaker 1: if you tell me that in the last three years 840 00:42:04,880 --> 00:42:07,319 Speaker 1: he's batting oh ninety four in the ninth inning, then 841 00:42:07,360 --> 00:42:09,680 Speaker 1: you know what, you got an even stronger argument. You 842 00:42:09,760 --> 00:42:13,040 Speaker 1: just can't make blanket statements because last night the guy 843 00:42:13,040 --> 00:42:15,080 Speaker 1: didn't get a hit in a big spot. So my 844 00:42:15,239 --> 00:42:17,600 Speaker 1: point is, if you want to do that, and you 845 00:42:17,680 --> 00:42:19,560 Speaker 1: want to take down to Maori and say he's not 846 00:42:19,640 --> 00:42:23,880 Speaker 1: worth the money, build a case based off of numbers 847 00:42:23,920 --> 00:42:26,520 Speaker 1: and stuff that people can look at and go, I 848 00:42:26,560 --> 00:42:28,600 Speaker 1: didn't know that, Jason, Do you know what I mean? 849 00:42:28,920 --> 00:42:32,240 Speaker 1: And then you have a stronger argument. And now watch 850 00:42:32,280 --> 00:42:37,040 Speaker 1: the damage control. Because ESPN is so cognizant of their reputation, 851 00:42:37,440 --> 00:42:40,440 Speaker 1: you're gonna see players all over social media that are 852 00:42:40,480 --> 00:42:43,279 Speaker 1: gonna light rex up. I bet you the Cowboys call 853 00:42:43,360 --> 00:42:45,840 Speaker 1: and say, what's your guy doing? Calling our guy a 854 00:42:45,960 --> 00:42:48,799 Speaker 1: third and you're gonna see some kind of public apology 855 00:42:48,920 --> 00:42:52,440 Speaker 1: at least maybe a suspension, because ESPN is gonna want 856 00:42:52,440 --> 00:42:54,920 Speaker 1: to say, hey, everything's fine, to worry. We love the Cowboys, 857 00:42:54,920 --> 00:42:57,200 Speaker 1: we love the NFL, we love everything about this, but 858 00:42:57,360 --> 00:43:00,040 Speaker 1: this is gonna be a big firestorm. I would. I 859 00:43:00,080 --> 00:43:02,440 Speaker 1: would get bet you're going to see something within the 860 00:43:02,440 --> 00:43:06,200 Speaker 1: next couple of hours. To that extent, no doubt about it. 861 00:43:06,280 --> 00:43:08,480 Speaker 1: I've been to the principal's office. You've been to the 862 00:43:08,480 --> 00:43:14,080 Speaker 1: principal's office. That will definitely happen. Fox Sports Radio.
