Baseball trade deadline Wuan Soto is still 19 00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:11,160 Speaker 1: in play. It feels like some people kick the tire 20 00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:15,800 Speaker 1: on tires on Showhyotani, but the Angels are not going 21 00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:18,120 Speaker 1: to trade him. That doesn't mean he's going to be 22 00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:22,560 Speaker 1: there next year, but doesn't feel like Shoheyoutani is going 23 00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:24,520 Speaker 1: to be traded. This is almost one of those that 24 00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:28,520 Speaker 1: let's see what people would be offering for Showhyoutani. And 25 00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:31,440 Speaker 1: there were three teams from what I'm told, that did 26 00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:36,920 Speaker 1: inquire about Showheheyutani. But eventually Ardi Moreno, the Angel's owner, 27 00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:40,480 Speaker 1: said no and thought better of that trading him. But 28 00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:44,319 Speaker 1: Wuan Soto is in play. The NBA is looking at 29 00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:49,000 Speaker 1: the Knicks and the seventy sixers for tampering charges. I 30 00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:52,000 Speaker 1: don't know if anything comes of this. I would certainly 31 00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:55,720 Speaker 1: look closer at the James Harden trade. It's his deal. 32 00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:58,080 Speaker 1: I should say it's a two year deal, but the 33 00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:00,560 Speaker 1: player option feels like it's a one year deal with 34 00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:04,320 Speaker 1: maybe a wink wink handshake verbal agreement, Hey, we'll take 35 00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:07,400 Speaker 1: care of you. Help us with the salary cap because 36 00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:11,000 Speaker 1: he did take less, and maybe the NBA looks at that. 37 00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:15,519 Speaker 1: Jalen Brunson, his father's on the staff. He's got a 38 00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:18,600 Speaker 1: lot of people he knows who are employed by the Knicks. 39 00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:22,560 Speaker 1: I'm gonna guess that maybe dad might have tampered with 40 00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:26,000 Speaker 1: his son. But if I'm the commissioner, Adam Silver, I'm like, 41 00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:28,840 Speaker 1: all right, I'm gonna I'm gonna look past that. But 42 00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:33,520 Speaker 1: they're looking at the possibility there of tampering charges. We'll 43 00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:35,480 Speaker 1: have a play of the day, poll, question, stat of 44 00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:39,160 Speaker 1: the Day, all of that forthcoming.

Stat of the Day brought to you 51 00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:01,239 Speaker 1: by Panini America, the official trading cards of the Dan 52 00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:05,720 Speaker 1: Patrick Show. I mentioned the trade deadline. Juan Soto is 53 00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:09,480 Speaker 1: in plague. Now I wonder, first of all, I thought, 54 00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:12,200 Speaker 1: if Juan Soto was offered four hundred and fifty million 55 00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:15,639 Speaker 1: dollars and it's a fifteen year deal, I don't want 56 00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:20,919 Speaker 1: to be any place for fifteen years, and in particular 57 00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:25,240 Speaker 1: in sports, because you don't know what's happening with the Nationals, 58 00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:27,840 Speaker 1: like they're not any good this year. You know, what 59 00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:30,120 Speaker 1: kind of commitment do they have of the next five 60 00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:33,880 Speaker 1: years and then if I'm Wan Soto, I'm twenty three, 61 00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:37,800 Speaker 1: I would sign a five year deal. Then I'm twenty eight, 62 00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:40,520 Speaker 1: I cash in again. I don't want to be anywhere 63 00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:43,760 Speaker 1: fifteen years not knowing what their direction is. Who's going 64 00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:46,280 Speaker 1: to be my manager, who's the GM is the owner 65 00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:49,200 Speaker 1: is still going to be the owner. That's now you 66 00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:52,120 Speaker 1: can talk about security. I certainly understand that. But if 67 00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:56,040 Speaker 1: I'm Wan Soto, I bet on myself, just like Dak 68 00:03:56,080 --> 00:04:00,240 Speaker 1: Prescott did. Just bet on yourself because you're gonna get 69 00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:03,640 Speaker 1: that next deal. At twenty eight, that's when you're gonna crush. 70 00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:07,560 Speaker 1: But we've seen these trade deadlines. You know, the Braves 71 00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:11,880 Speaker 1: got the World Series MVP at the trade deadline, Orge Solaire. 72 00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:17,040 Speaker 1: That was last year, Rolla's chapman. He was able to 73 00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:19,839 Speaker 1: go to the Chicago Cubs help them win the World Series. 74 00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:23,880 Speaker 1: Go back to two thousand, Kurt Schilling acquired by the Diamondbacks. 75 00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:26,120 Speaker 1: They went on to win the World Series the following season. 76 00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:29,760 Speaker 1: So it does happen, and there have already been some trades, 77 00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:33,760 Speaker 1: but that's the big one. Juan Soto does he go 78 00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:36,600 Speaker 1: to the Padres, the Cardinals are involved in this. It 79 00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:39,600 Speaker 1: feels like there might be three teams right now because 80 00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:43,040 Speaker 1: understand this what you have to give up and then 81 00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:46,920 Speaker 1: you have to pay him. It's not, hey, we got 82 00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:49,560 Speaker 1: to give up all of this and he's under contract. 83 00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:52,440 Speaker 1: Now you have to pay him. That's the hard part 84 00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:56,800 Speaker 1: because there are teams that have prospects, impactful prospects here. 85 00:04:57,080 --> 00:05:00,280 Speaker 1: But do you have the money and let's say Juan 86 00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:06,080 Speaker 1: Soto once five years, let's say one eighty, maybe one ninety, 87 00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:10,880 Speaker 1: maybe two hundred. But if you're Juan Soto and you 88 00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:13,000 Speaker 1: go to a place that you want to play or 89 00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:15,600 Speaker 1: at least right now, and they have a chance of winning, 90 00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:20,240 Speaker 1: you've already won a World Series title five years, sounds 91 00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:24,280 Speaker 1: like a great opportunity there to prove myself prime in 92 00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:27,760 Speaker 1: my career twenty eight and now that's when you make 93 00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:30,440 Speaker 1: the big dollars. And you also have to bet on 94 00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:34,760 Speaker 1: baseball growing. That's another thing because you know some of 95 00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:37,200 Speaker 1: these sports where you go, is that money going to 96 00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:40,599 Speaker 1: be there? It feels like that, certainly with the NFL, 97 00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:44,960 Speaker 1: the NBA. Is baseball going to be growing exponentially where 98 00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:48,359 Speaker 1: you're going to make even more money than if you 99 00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:52,240 Speaker 1: signed that four fifty for fifteen years with the Nationals. Yeah, Paul, 100 00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:55,440 Speaker 1: if the Padres get Juan Soto, does that officially cement 101 00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:57,599 Speaker 1: them as a big market team because I kind of 102 00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:00,000 Speaker 1: think of the Padres as not you know, the Dodgers 103 00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:02,799 Speaker 1: or the Yankees. But they when they got Machado, they spent, 104 00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:06,040 Speaker 1: They got to tease, which they spent, and if they 105 00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:09,040 Speaker 1: get another star, that's a fantastic for them. Their their 106 00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:11,279 Speaker 1: payroll is fifth in the league at two hundred thirteen 107 00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:14,440 Speaker 1: million now before getting one son up. Also, you know, 108 00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:18,800 Speaker 1: they ended up picking up Josh Hayder from the Brewers, 109 00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:22,640 Speaker 1: and you know, he's a multi All Star, reliever, multi 110 00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:26,159 Speaker 1: time All Star. I was surprised at that. But Josh Hayter, 111 00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:29,360 Speaker 1: they got him from the Brewers for prospects. But there's 112 00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:31,799 Speaker 1: a lot of teams. You know, you got the wild card, 113 00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:36,400 Speaker 1: the Mariners. Mariners looking to end a twenty year playoff drought. 114 00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:39,200 Speaker 1: Right now, they're third in the wild Card. But feels 115 00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:42,159 Speaker 1: like there's a lot of teams involved in trying to 116 00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:46,040 Speaker 1: better themselves also just trying to make it into the playoffs. 117 00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:49,440 Speaker 1: The hottest rookies, biggest superstars all time grade it's only 118 00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:51,919 Speaker 1: one place to collect them all Panini trading cards, the 119 00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:55,320 Speaker 1: official trading cards, so the Dan Patrick Show for instant classics, 120 00:06:55,320 --> 00:07:00,360 Speaker 1: autograph cards, memorabilia cards, rare inserts and more. Starter cantinue 121 00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:06,520 Speaker 1: your collection now at Penny in America dot nem Seeton. 122 00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:08,200 Speaker 1: What kind of poll question do you have for me? 123 00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:11,640 Speaker 1: We got a couple more off the Deshaun Watson ruling. 124 00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:15,400 Speaker 1: All right, we could go with Judge Sue L. Robinson 125 00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:18,840 Speaker 1: handled the Deshaun Watson case appropriately or got it wrong. 126 00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:24,800 Speaker 1: Here's the problem. I think a lot of people don't 127 00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:28,240 Speaker 1: like the end result, the verdict. But if you read 128 00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:32,320 Speaker 1: the fifteen pages, you see how she came to this conclusion. 129 00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:35,840 Speaker 1: Now I don't like it. I think you should have 130 00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:40,840 Speaker 1: gotten more. But her job is to enforce policy. And 131 00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:45,200 Speaker 1: she even says that, hey, look, I'm just taking sort 132 00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:48,520 Speaker 1: of samples of what you've done before with other players 133 00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:53,280 Speaker 1: Ben Roethlisberger, Ezekiel Elliott. These are all policies, these are 134 00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:58,080 Speaker 1: all punishments. So she's sort of following the guidelines there. Now, 135 00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:02,040 Speaker 1: she did have some language, where are you know, non 136 00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:08,360 Speaker 1: violent sexual assault? It's still sexual AsSalt, but she says 137 00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:12,080 Speaker 1: non violent sexual assault. But she does lay out her case. 138 00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:16,480 Speaker 1: Do I think he deserved more because I think he's 139 00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:19,080 Speaker 1: creep a creep. I think he's you know, there's a 140 00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:23,560 Speaker 1: predatorial behavior here. Do I think there's bigger issues here? Yes? 141 00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:28,200 Speaker 1: I do. But she was going by the guidelines that 142 00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:32,120 Speaker 1: she was given, and the NFL did prove its case. 143 00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:37,199 Speaker 1: She even said that, but if you go first, second, third, 144 00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:39,760 Speaker 1: you know, and it's that's how it's laid out. And 145 00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:43,440 Speaker 1: three sections here she says the NFL proved its case, 146 00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:46,400 Speaker 1: but also the NFL it felt like it is its 147 00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:50,640 Speaker 1: own worst enemy here because of prior punishments that they 148 00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:54,480 Speaker 1: hand it out. What I like to see more for 149 00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:58,480 Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson. Yes, here's another thing. And you know, a 150 00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:02,040 Speaker 1: source who's involved in this said, I said, what's the 151 00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:07,679 Speaker 1: commissioner Doue? And my source said, well that my source 152 00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:09,800 Speaker 1: said that he didn't think the commissioner was going to 153 00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:13,040 Speaker 1: hear the case, but he would have somebody else here 154 00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:19,720 Speaker 1: the case, which is kind of tricky there. Maybe that's deniability. 155 00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:23,880 Speaker 1: But also if you if you have this new agreement 156 00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:28,480 Speaker 1: with the Players Association and the NFL, you bring in 157 00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:30,800 Speaker 1: a judge, an independent judge, and then all of a 158 00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:32,839 Speaker 1: sudden the first time you bring her in, you go, no, 159 00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:35,080 Speaker 1: we don't like what you said. Now I'm gonna I'm 160 00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:37,480 Speaker 1: gonna come in and I'm gonna give him a season. 161 00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:43,360 Speaker 1: So you've already taken away the importance of this judge. 162 00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:47,760 Speaker 1: That's another thing that you have to factor in. I 163 00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:52,120 Speaker 1: think the perception is important here. I think what's happened 164 00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:54,360 Speaker 1: over the last twenty four hours and how the media 165 00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:59,760 Speaker 1: has covered this. The NFL is just surveying. They're surveying 166 00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:06,200 Speaker 1: this situation. What's the temperature? You know, are people demonstratively 167 00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:10,880 Speaker 1: angry with this? Like is they're a real anger here? 168 00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:14,840 Speaker 1: Because here's the other thing. Let's say they suspend him 169 00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:19,920 Speaker 1: for a year and Deshaun Watson's team decides to sue. 170 00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:26,120 Speaker 1: What about a temporary restraining order? And Deshaun Watson plays 171 00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:32,800 Speaker 1: Week one against the Carolina Panthers in Baker Mayfield. That's 172 00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:39,160 Speaker 1: the possibility. But the NFL Players Association has not challenged anything. 173 00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:44,920 Speaker 1: They were like fine with six games suspension, So they 174 00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:47,800 Speaker 1: didn't even fight for him to be innocent. They know 175 00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:52,520 Speaker 1: he's guilty. It's like, hey, what's the worst case scenario? 176 00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:56,160 Speaker 1: Six games? All right, Let's take it. Now, she did 177 00:10:56,280 --> 00:11:00,840 Speaker 1: label Deshaun Watson a first time offender. Now, according to 178 00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:04,520 Speaker 1: the NFL policy, he's a first time offender. My issue 179 00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:08,080 Speaker 1: is he's a first time offender with that woman, and 180 00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:10,560 Speaker 1: then he's a second time offender with that woman, and 181 00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:13,839 Speaker 1: then he's a third time offender with that woman. Zeke 182 00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:20,600 Speaker 1: Elliott was with one woman, Ben Roethlisberger one woman six games. 183 00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:27,040 Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson's case, there were four women. That's what was presented. 184 00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:28,920 Speaker 1: Now we know there are a lot more women, but 185 00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:32,120 Speaker 1: they know the judge only looked at the four cases. 186 00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:37,199 Speaker 1: But I'd still argue that's first time offender, second time offender, 187 00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:40,960 Speaker 1: third time offender, fourth time offender, fourth time offender. I'm 188 00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:44,960 Speaker 1: sitting you down for the season. That would be the 189 00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:47,319 Speaker 1: approach that I wouldn't want to have with this situation 190 00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:50,760 Speaker 1: like this. But I do understand what she's saying, what 191 00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:55,040 Speaker 1: she was factoring in, and how she came to her decision. 192 00:11:55,320 --> 00:12:01,000 Speaker 1: I understand it. Don't like it. I think the NFL 193 00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:05,960 Speaker 1: has had such a problem trying to adjudicate, you know 194 00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:08,720 Speaker 1: that they get involved in this stuff. You know, I 195 00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:12,280 Speaker 1: go back to the Ray Rice situation. Two games and 196 00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:14,120 Speaker 1: that's it. And then all of a sudden the video 197 00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:17,400 Speaker 1: came out and everybody's like, did you factor in there 198 00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:21,080 Speaker 1: could be video? And then to have Ray Rice with 199 00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:24,680 Speaker 1: his girlfriend at the time, sit together in a room 200 00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:29,720 Speaker 1: and talk about this goes against logic in a case 201 00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:33,800 Speaker 1: like this domestic violence, you have them separate. She might 202 00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:39,080 Speaker 1: be intimidated to say something in front of him, But 203 00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:42,800 Speaker 1: the NFL has fumbled this before, which leads us to 204 00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:48,160 Speaker 1: where we are today. All she's doing is going on 205 00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:52,520 Speaker 1: present you know what has happened before. Like she didn't 206 00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:54,280 Speaker 1: want to be the one that says, nope, I'm going 207 00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:58,240 Speaker 1: to change the policy here. She said, you the NFL, 208 00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:01,360 Speaker 1: you guys have to change your own own policy. I'm 209 00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:06,480 Speaker 1: only enforcing what you guys have decided, what you've done before. 210 00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:10,760 Speaker 1: And that's where it gets tricky because we may not 211 00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:13,480 Speaker 1: like the end result, but we have to look at 212 00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:17,160 Speaker 1: how she got to the end result. But I don't 213 00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:20,320 Speaker 1: know if Roger Goodell, it feels like he will have 214 00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:27,280 Speaker 1: to designate somebody for the appeal than himself. Now you 215 00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:30,360 Speaker 1: might say, didn't he already designate somebody, Yeah, the judge, 216 00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:33,440 Speaker 1: but he might have to bring somebody in from the bullpen. 217 00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:37,360 Speaker 1: And then he could step back and say, hey, you 218 00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:40,439 Speaker 1: know this is the person. I mean, it's semantics here. 219 00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:47,400 Speaker 1: A couple of people have weighed in on this. You know, 220 00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:52,640 Speaker 1: does the commissioner here the case himself? You know, you 221 00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:55,080 Speaker 1: don't want to look at the process and say it's rigged. 222 00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:00,560 Speaker 1: But but if if the commissioner here is the case, 223 00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:04,040 Speaker 1: how much credibility does he lose from the standpoint of 224 00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:06,800 Speaker 1: having this judge here this? I mean, this is what 225 00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:10,720 Speaker 1: you had a collective bargaining agreement so you could have this, 226 00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:13,520 Speaker 1: and then it turns out that it's really a sham 227 00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:18,400 Speaker 1: that the commissioners still judge jury and Exekuchener. I mean, really, 228 00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:20,840 Speaker 1: that's what it comes down to. I don't like the 229 00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:25,280 Speaker 1: end result. Also, do you see where certain guidelines for 230 00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:29,480 Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson He's allowed to get massages from the Cleveland 231 00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:31,800 Speaker 1: brown How do you think you'd feel if you're one 232 00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:35,320 Speaker 1: of the massage therapists for the Cleveland Browns, Like, oh great, 233 00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:40,040 Speaker 1: but he can get a massage through the team, but 234 00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:43,600 Speaker 1: not outside of that. Who's gonna know if he's getting 235 00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:49,400 Speaker 1: one outside of that. So there's a lot of things 236 00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:52,880 Speaker 1: that are still in motion. Twenty four hours after the fact. Well, 237 00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:56,640 Speaker 1: here from the Cleveland Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski. You'll 238 00:14:56,720 --> 00:15:01,240 Speaker 1: talk about the decision, the verdict. Here your Shaun Watson, 239 00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:04,680 Speaker 1: Albert Breer. He will join us coming up the Monday 240 00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:07,840 Speaker 1: morning quarterback Pat McAfee in an hour from now, and 241 00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:10,840 Speaker 1: Rich Eisen from the NFL Network will join us as well. 242 00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:14,880 Speaker 1: We'll settle on a poll question. Phone call is always welcome, emails, tweets, 243 00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:18,160 Speaker 1: all the above.

Be sure to catch us live every 255 00:15:56,280 --> 00:15:59,320 Speaker 1: weekday morning nine until noon eastern six to nine Pacific 256 00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:01,920 Speaker 1: on Fox's Radio and you can find us on the 257 00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:06,160 Speaker 1: iHeartRadio app at FSR or stream us live on the 258 00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:09,360 Speaker 1: Peacock app. Want to clarify something I said in the 259 00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:14,440 Speaker 1: open that Ben Roethlisberger that was two women that he 260 00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:18,440 Speaker 1: was involved with two accusations. They're not just one because 261 00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:21,640 Speaker 1: I was talking about Ezekiel Elliott. That's six games. I 262 00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:24,360 Speaker 1: still would want to argue that you can say this 263 00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:28,600 Speaker 1: is his first offense. If there's four women and the 264 00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:32,560 Speaker 1: NFL and the judge agree that something happened with those 265 00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:35,640 Speaker 1: four women, to me, that would be four separate offenses, 266 00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:39,560 Speaker 1: not just an umbrella that says, hey, it's just one 267 00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:43,280 Speaker 1: incident with four different women. Albert Brier has been all 268 00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:46,160 Speaker 1: over this story. He's also traveling the country going to 269 00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:49,920 Speaker 1: NFL training camps, which will get to the NFL has 270 00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:52,760 Speaker 1: three days to appeal. What do you think is happening 271 00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:56,720 Speaker 1: right now and will happen by nine am on Thursday morning? Albert, 272 00:16:57,400 --> 00:16:59,040 Speaker 1: I think there are a lot of league officials that 273 00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:03,480 Speaker 1: are probably on Twitter right now, like just sort of 274 00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:08,320 Speaker 1: taking the temperature for what the public reaction to all 275 00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:10,239 Speaker 1: of this is. Because I don't think that that is. 276 00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:13,160 Speaker 1: I think that's a very relevant piece of the whole thing. 277 00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:16,919 Speaker 1: So how's the public reacting, I think that's that's a 278 00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:18,680 Speaker 1: piece of it, you know, of course. I think they're 279 00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:22,000 Speaker 1: going through their own options here, and really, to me, 280 00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:25,520 Speaker 1: there are three options to Number One, you can pin 281 00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:28,320 Speaker 1: this on Sue Robinson if you're them, and you could say, 282 00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:31,320 Speaker 1: we negotiated this process two years ago with the union. 283 00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:36,240 Speaker 1: We respect the process. We don't agree with her view 284 00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:39,720 Speaker 1: of the facts, but the process was a good one, 285 00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:43,560 Speaker 1: and we'll stand by what she said. The second option 286 00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:46,359 Speaker 1: would be you go to eight or ten or twelve 287 00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:51,480 Speaker 1: games and you say, now, this is our decision to 288 00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:56,440 Speaker 1: do this. We believe there's a little bit more there 289 00:17:56,520 --> 00:18:00,960 Speaker 1: than Sue Robinson thought, And if they do that, then 290 00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:03,080 Speaker 1: it becomes their decision. And then the question is is 291 00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:05,440 Speaker 1: that enough, Like does the public look at an eight 292 00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:07,560 Speaker 1: or ten or twelve games suspension is enough? And then 293 00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:12,639 Speaker 1: maybe because Deshaun Watson wants closure, he accepts it. The 294 00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:15,840 Speaker 1: third option is the nuclear option, which is you say 295 00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:17,840 Speaker 1: we're gonna do what we want to do all along, 296 00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:19,960 Speaker 1: We're gonna give him a year, and then you wind 297 00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:23,640 Speaker 1: up in court, I think so. And if you wind 298 00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:25,320 Speaker 1: up in court, That's the other part of this, Dan 299 00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:28,520 Speaker 1: that's really interesting is if you wind up in court, 300 00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:31,359 Speaker 1: that could mean Deshaun Watson plays in the opener because 301 00:18:31,359 --> 00:18:34,560 Speaker 1: at that point, if he sues, then almost certainly the 302 00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:38,320 Speaker 1: Union would seek a temporary restraining order to stay the suspension, 303 00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:42,240 Speaker 1: and I think it probably get it. And if a 304 00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:45,880 Speaker 1: court stays the suspension, well, then Deshaun Watson's playing Week 305 00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:48,880 Speaker 1: one against the Carolina Panthers. So you know, I think 306 00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:51,359 Speaker 1: the easy route out here for the league is is 307 00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:54,119 Speaker 1: depended on Sue Robinson because the other two options that 308 00:18:54,119 --> 00:18:56,480 Speaker 1: are taking ownership of the decision, and I think with 309 00:18:56,640 --> 00:19:00,439 Speaker 1: one option is it enough with the other option? If 310 00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:02,840 Speaker 1: you're going to war again, what do you think happens? 311 00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:07,400 Speaker 1: You know, for a while, I've thought that they were 312 00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:10,360 Speaker 1: preparing to leave this alone, and I still believe that, 313 00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:12,640 Speaker 1: Like I think that they've set it up in a way, 314 00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:14,879 Speaker 1: and I've said this to you, like they set it 315 00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:16,719 Speaker 1: up in a way where they can leave it alone 316 00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:19,760 Speaker 1: because they already got word out there and you and 317 00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:21,320 Speaker 1: I talked about it, I think a few weeks ago, 318 00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:25,560 Speaker 1: where like the judge was clearly upset this, so much 319 00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:28,919 Speaker 1: of this became public. Right, Well, why would the league, 320 00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:32,359 Speaker 1: which is so pr savvy, risk angering a former district 321 00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:35,879 Speaker 1: court judge, Like, why would they do that? Well, they 322 00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:38,000 Speaker 1: would do that because they felt like the thing may 323 00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:41,520 Speaker 1: not be going their way and if she makes a 324 00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:44,120 Speaker 1: decision they don't like, then they would have the recourse 325 00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:46,840 Speaker 1: to say we tried. And so I think the easy 326 00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:49,879 Speaker 1: route out now is to pin this on Robinson and 327 00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:53,159 Speaker 1: say this was her decision. This is a new process. 328 00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:56,560 Speaker 1: We negotiate this with the union. The owners don't want 329 00:19:56,640 --> 00:19:59,600 Speaker 1: us involved in every piece of this anymore. We're going 330 00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:01,680 Speaker 1: to back the process that we set up two years 331 00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:03,840 Speaker 1: ago with the union to mean that's at the cleanest exit. 332 00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:06,560 Speaker 1: And I don't think it's a value judgment on what 333 00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:10,200 Speaker 1: happened with Watson. I think it's just sort of protecting 334 00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:14,200 Speaker 1: themselves going forward. The other two I think you would 335 00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:17,600 Speaker 1: be more of a moral play. And I think the 336 00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:21,320 Speaker 1: question is, like do they have the appetite to spend 337 00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:24,720 Speaker 1: a year in court with another star player and make 338 00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:29,000 Speaker 1: so many facets of the NFL season about Deshaun Watson 339 00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:30,560 Speaker 1: Because I think you and I both know he remember 340 00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:32,960 Speaker 1: the year Brady was in court the whole year, like 341 00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:35,960 Speaker 1: that would not go away, Like he'd probably be playing 342 00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:38,199 Speaker 1: Week one, he'd probably played the whole season, because the 343 00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:41,199 Speaker 1: court process takes a while, and it would be a 344 00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:44,600 Speaker 1: talking point throughout the NFL season in a month from now, 345 00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:47,359 Speaker 1: nobody's going to remember this judge's name. This is going 346 00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:51,320 Speaker 1: to be on Roger Goodell. Whatever happens, he either did 347 00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:54,280 Speaker 1: or he didn't, you know, try to, you know, drop 348 00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:59,520 Speaker 1: the hammer on Deshaun wants and trying to. You know, 349 00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:03,840 Speaker 1: they are pr savvy, but I wonder if you go, hey, 350 00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:07,640 Speaker 1: we tried, but we have to respect the process here. 351 00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:11,159 Speaker 1: Now we have to move to change what you know, 352 00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:14,120 Speaker 1: the penalties are. Because all she did, if you read 353 00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:17,159 Speaker 1: the fifteen pages, which I know you did, she just 354 00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:21,360 Speaker 1: used the history recent history of punishments here. You bring 355 00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:25,360 Speaker 1: up Zeke Elliott, or you bring up Ben Roethlisberger. She said, yeah, 356 00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:28,000 Speaker 1: the NFL made your case. You made your case, but 357 00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:31,440 Speaker 1: you know that's this is what I'm going to give. 358 00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:35,080 Speaker 1: I can't she can't change the policy the punishments that 359 00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:37,360 Speaker 1: you've given. I don't think that's what I was surprised 360 00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:41,000 Speaker 1: that the NFL thought she's going to do something on 361 00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:43,600 Speaker 1: her own, which that's not part of her job. I 362 00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:45,560 Speaker 1: don't think it was just, Hey, you asked me to 363 00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:47,280 Speaker 1: look at this, I'm looking at this. This is what 364 00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:51,600 Speaker 1: I'm recommending. That's it. Judges operate on precedent, you know, 365 00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:56,200 Speaker 1: and judges like her charge in this whole thing is 366 00:21:56,240 --> 00:21:59,720 Speaker 1: to make a decision that will allow her to write 367 00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:03,240 Speaker 1: AEF that is appeal proof. Like the judge, the goal 368 00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:06,280 Speaker 1: of any judge in a situation like this is to 369 00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:10,200 Speaker 1: do something that's very fair and down the middle and 370 00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:12,879 Speaker 1: like takes into account everything that's put in front of 371 00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:15,720 Speaker 1: them and nothing else right, and then in the end 372 00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:19,280 Speaker 1: be able to put something on paper that is going 373 00:22:19,320 --> 00:22:21,480 Speaker 1: to be very very hard to challenge. And if you 374 00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:24,320 Speaker 1: read the opinion, like, if you go into it, it's 375 00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:26,840 Speaker 1: really interesting some of the things that are in there, 376 00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:30,640 Speaker 1: Like you can see her playing both sides of it, right, 377 00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:33,480 Speaker 1: like he like one of the one of the most 378 00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:36,280 Speaker 1: glaring things to me was they both found she both 379 00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:40,359 Speaker 1: found him responsible for sexual assault and also called it 380 00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:43,199 Speaker 1: non violent, like to me, like that was maybe the 381 00:22:43,240 --> 00:22:45,479 Speaker 1: most interesting thing. And then she came up with her 382 00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:51,480 Speaker 1: own definition of sexual assault, which is unwanted sexual contact contact. Well, 383 00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:55,000 Speaker 1: is that by definition violent? So like there's there are 384 00:22:55,040 --> 00:22:56,919 Speaker 1: a lot of things in there where it's like you 385 00:22:56,960 --> 00:23:01,399 Speaker 1: can see how she's sort of serving both sides, and 386 00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:05,840 Speaker 1: I this is just me reading it. Dan, It's really 387 00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:08,080 Speaker 1: hard if you look at it, to challenge your process. 388 00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:10,800 Speaker 1: And that's that's the one thing everybody, everybody here has 389 00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:13,680 Speaker 1: to remember, right, is if the NFL appeals this and 390 00:23:13,760 --> 00:23:17,240 Speaker 1: appeals took Goodell or his designate, they can't change they 391 00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:19,920 Speaker 1: can't change the facts. The facts are the facts now, right, Look, 392 00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:23,600 Speaker 1: so he can't go and find eight more women to 393 00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:27,000 Speaker 1: talk to and and change the facts of this case 394 00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:30,399 Speaker 1: are the facts of this case. And so like what 395 00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:32,679 Speaker 1: you'd be doing is you'd be challenging the process that 396 00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:36,080 Speaker 1: Sue Robinson went through. And if you read that brief, 397 00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:40,160 Speaker 1: it's actually pretty hard to challenge the process she took 398 00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:42,760 Speaker 1: to get to the decision that she made. He's Albert Breer, 399 00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:47,200 Speaker 1: senior NFL reporter. He's the Monday Morning quarterback. Was there 400 00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:51,400 Speaker 1: a deal in place for Deshaun Watson at least offered 401 00:23:51,560 --> 00:23:54,480 Speaker 1: a deal? Yeah, there's no deal in place, but yeah 402 00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:56,639 Speaker 1: there are deals offered. So there were two sets of 403 00:23:56,680 --> 00:24:00,359 Speaker 1: settlement talks essentially one before the hearing, another after the hearing. 404 00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:06,000 Speaker 1: The first of settlement talks went absolutely nowhere. The NFL 405 00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:09,160 Speaker 1: was insistent on at least a year, and they said 406 00:24:09,200 --> 00:24:11,080 Speaker 1: if we don't get a year, we're going to seek 407 00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:15,000 Speaker 1: an indefinite suspension. In the hearing, Watson's camp wasn't going 408 00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:17,320 Speaker 1: to go for a year. That was that, Like, there's 409 00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:21,520 Speaker 1: just no getting past that. I think when like the 410 00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:23,520 Speaker 1: interesting part of this that never got out, and I 411 00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:27,359 Speaker 1: think this is fascinating. She actually told the parties in 412 00:24:27,480 --> 00:24:32,080 Speaker 1: the hearing to expect a ruling the first week of August, 413 00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:34,560 Speaker 1: so like, as all of us were like, where's the ruling, 414 00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:37,840 Speaker 1: Where's the ruling? Like, the people involved actually knew that 415 00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:40,800 Speaker 1: it was coming when it came, and she delivered it 416 00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:44,480 Speaker 1: when on August first, so like the timing of it 417 00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:46,760 Speaker 1: was exactly what she said it was going to be. 418 00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:50,640 Speaker 1: The people who were involved think she gave them that 419 00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:54,320 Speaker 1: month to try to settle it on their own, which 420 00:24:54,359 --> 00:24:57,320 Speaker 1: is common with judges, right, like, give the parties time 421 00:24:57,320 --> 00:24:59,600 Speaker 1: to figure it out on their own. They did get 422 00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:01,200 Speaker 1: back to the table. That was the second set of 423 00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:04,400 Speaker 1: settlement talks. My understanding is the League offered a deal 424 00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:06,440 Speaker 1: that would have been twelve games, so it would have 425 00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:08,280 Speaker 1: brought him back for the last five games this season, 426 00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:11,680 Speaker 1: and a fine of close to ten million dollars, which 427 00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:13,880 Speaker 1: is what he made last year. So if you think 428 00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:17,560 Speaker 1: about that, that would actually allow the league then to say, well, 429 00:25:17,680 --> 00:25:21,639 Speaker 1: last year that actually that was a suspension, so because 430 00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:24,520 Speaker 1: he got docked all his pay from last year, and 431 00:25:24,560 --> 00:25:26,120 Speaker 1: so that would have allowed the league if you think 432 00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:29,120 Speaker 1: about this from a pr standpoint, to say, we got 433 00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:32,200 Speaker 1: pretty close to what MLB did to Trevor Bauer because 434 00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:35,080 Speaker 1: he's been off the field for a season and then 435 00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:38,679 Speaker 1: three quarters of another season and he lost all of 436 00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:42,440 Speaker 1: that money. So that was their offer, and my understanding 437 00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:45,760 Speaker 1: is Watson's camp was willing to go to about six 438 00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:50,359 Speaker 1: to eight games, but not beyond that. And so that's 439 00:25:50,359 --> 00:25:52,320 Speaker 1: sort of where the divide was at the very end 440 00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:58,440 Speaker 1: before they let Robinson go ahead and make it a ruling. Here. Yeah, boy, 441 00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:01,720 Speaker 1: that's rolling the dice worked out, because yeah, you know 442 00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:09,600 Speaker 1: training camps, you've been in Green Bay, Thank Bills, Brown, Steelers, Bears, Colts. 443 00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:12,560 Speaker 1: Let me start in Green Bay. Hell's morale with Aaron 444 00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:16,359 Speaker 1: Rodgers this year, it's so calm there, you know, Like 445 00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:18,480 Speaker 1: I remember going there last year. I was there day 446 00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:21,720 Speaker 1: one last year and it was just everything was hitting 447 00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:24,479 Speaker 1: the fans, you know what I mean, like and um 448 00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:27,159 Speaker 1: I actually sat down and talk with him for about 449 00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:31,280 Speaker 1: twenty five minutes yesterday, and he just seems very at 450 00:26:31,359 --> 00:26:34,359 Speaker 1: pete with everything, you know, like he just this is 451 00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:36,000 Speaker 1: it's almost this is where I'm gonna send in the 452 00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:38,320 Speaker 1: rest of my career. And he feels like he has 453 00:26:38,359 --> 00:26:42,879 Speaker 1: ownership of the offense. He has some level of ownership 454 00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:45,800 Speaker 1: of the roster. He's in lockstep. Like I talked with 455 00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:48,880 Speaker 1: Brian Gooducoons about how they fixed their relationship last year. 456 00:26:50,560 --> 00:26:52,040 Speaker 1: He seems like he's in a really good place. And 457 00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:54,320 Speaker 1: it was interesting because I asked him about what the 458 00:26:54,440 --> 00:26:58,040 Speaker 1: last year was like, and you know, some of what 459 00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:01,200 Speaker 1: we went through was the criticism he took over obviously 460 00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:05,840 Speaker 1: the vaccine issue, and he said, like it's sort of 461 00:27:05,840 --> 00:27:09,520 Speaker 1: taught him to try to stop paying attention to everything 462 00:27:09,520 --> 00:27:11,119 Speaker 1: on the outside, like I guess people like me and 463 00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:14,160 Speaker 1: you you know what I mean, like, and just focus 464 00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:16,919 Speaker 1: on the people who are around him as allies, the 465 00:27:16,960 --> 00:27:19,240 Speaker 1: people in the locker room, and it's just sort of 466 00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:23,280 Speaker 1: simplified his life, which I thought, no matter what you 467 00:27:23,359 --> 00:27:26,239 Speaker 1: think about what happened with him or whatever else, like, 468 00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:31,280 Speaker 1: I actually look at it, and he was pretty like, 469 00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:34,920 Speaker 1: I think it put him in ultimately wound up putting 470 00:27:34,960 --> 00:27:36,680 Speaker 1: him in a pretty decent place. Here's the other thing 471 00:27:37,040 --> 00:27:39,240 Speaker 1: with Javante Adams gone. The other thing I talked to 472 00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:42,560 Speaker 1: him about was how that team has now built sort 473 00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:45,440 Speaker 1: of the way the Patriots used to build teams around 474 00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:49,440 Speaker 1: Tom Brady, where they didn't over extend to put skill 475 00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:52,680 Speaker 1: position players around him. But they're super well rounded, Dan, 476 00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:54,960 Speaker 1: that defense looks like it's going to be electric. I mean, 477 00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:57,920 Speaker 1: they have seven first round picks starting on their defense, 478 00:27:58,440 --> 00:28:01,280 Speaker 1: and I think I think that's interesting about it is 479 00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:04,680 Speaker 1: as Aaron gets a little bit older now, because they're 480 00:28:04,680 --> 00:28:06,920 Speaker 1: really good defensively, they've got a really good running game, 481 00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:08,840 Speaker 1: they're gonna have to they're gonna be able to ask 482 00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:11,159 Speaker 1: less of him, you know, so he doesn't need to 483 00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:13,560 Speaker 1: be Superman every week. In fact, he told me, like 484 00:28:13,560 --> 00:28:16,280 Speaker 1: when I asked him about building the roster, he mentioned 485 00:28:16,280 --> 00:28:18,720 Speaker 1: like the special teams players, he was like, I'm really 486 00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:21,520 Speaker 1: excited about I'm not even kidding, Like he's like, hey, 487 00:28:21,520 --> 00:28:23,760 Speaker 1: he was like I'm really excited about these guys we 488 00:28:23,760 --> 00:28:25,560 Speaker 1: have on special teams. He's like, there's the last couple 489 00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:27,960 Speaker 1: of years that's cost us. It was. It was really 490 00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:31,160 Speaker 1: really interesting, and it's a very different tone than I've 491 00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:34,560 Speaker 1: heard from Aaron in the past. You're in Minnesota. I'm 492 00:28:34,600 --> 00:28:37,160 Speaker 1: fascinated what was going on with Mike Zimmer and Kirk 493 00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:41,960 Speaker 1: Cousins That you have a coach who I guess didn't 494 00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:44,600 Speaker 1: like his quarterback. I don't know if the quarterback liked 495 00:28:44,640 --> 00:28:50,440 Speaker 1: his head coach and so what changed it? But you 496 00:28:50,440 --> 00:28:52,600 Speaker 1: even had the GM and the Vikings saying, hey, we 497 00:28:52,680 --> 00:28:57,160 Speaker 1: don't have Tom Brady, Like, what is Kirk Cousins you know, 498 00:28:57,360 --> 00:29:00,760 Speaker 1: mentality going into this season? Well, I mean I think 499 00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:03,640 Speaker 1: it's gonna be like just like any quarterback is age, 500 00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:06,440 Speaker 1: where to some degree you're like fighting to extend your career. 501 00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:10,440 Speaker 1: I do think, like to me, like, what's happened in 502 00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:12,640 Speaker 1: the NFL quarterbacks fascinating. I think you and I have 503 00:29:12,680 --> 00:29:14,960 Speaker 1: talked about the mahome sization of the NFL, right, like 504 00:29:15,040 --> 00:29:17,920 Speaker 1: how like good might not be good enough anymore? So 505 00:29:18,240 --> 00:29:20,640 Speaker 1: the Rams trade out Jared Golf to get Matthew Stafford, 506 00:29:20,640 --> 00:29:23,360 Speaker 1: the Niners try to level up by going Jimmy Garoppolo 507 00:29:23,440 --> 00:29:26,240 Speaker 1: to Trey Lance. The Browns go from Baker Mayfield to 508 00:29:26,240 --> 00:29:31,120 Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson. And to me, it's like, if you're gonna 509 00:29:31,280 --> 00:29:33,120 Speaker 1: look for that sort of opportunity, sometimes you have to 510 00:29:33,160 --> 00:29:35,760 Speaker 1: be patient, right, And so I think what the Vikings 511 00:29:35,760 --> 00:29:38,760 Speaker 1: and Raiders are doing is really interesting because to me, 512 00:29:39,160 --> 00:29:41,960 Speaker 1: it's sort of like what Alex Smith was in Kansas City, 513 00:29:42,240 --> 00:29:45,080 Speaker 1: where Alex Smith was a really good quarterback, who puts 514 00:29:45,120 --> 00:29:47,200 Speaker 1: you in a position to compete in the here and now, 515 00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:50,520 Speaker 1: establish a program and build a roster and buy you 516 00:29:50,760 --> 00:29:54,240 Speaker 1: time to wait for the right opportunity. So I think 517 00:29:54,240 --> 00:29:56,400 Speaker 1: that's sort of what Minnesota is doing now with Kirk 518 00:29:57,120 --> 00:29:59,520 Speaker 1: and I'm excited to get to talk to him because 519 00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:02,680 Speaker 1: he ob asleep. It has the relationship with Kevin O'Connell 520 00:30:03,280 --> 00:30:08,040 Speaker 1: from Washington, and they're gonna run the offense that you 521 00:30:08,080 --> 00:30:10,000 Speaker 1: know he came up in and then he played great 522 00:30:10,040 --> 00:30:13,120 Speaker 1: in Washington, and so you know, the way I look 523 00:30:13,160 --> 00:30:15,320 Speaker 1: at he's got a really good team around him, he's 524 00:30:15,360 --> 00:30:18,000 Speaker 1: got a coach who likes him, he's got a system 525 00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:21,200 Speaker 1: that he's thrived it in the past, and I mean, yeah, 526 00:30:21,200 --> 00:30:24,080 Speaker 1: of course, now because of his age, the junk juncture 527 00:30:24,080 --> 00:30:26,760 Speaker 1: of his career, he's at like he's fighting for his 528 00:30:26,840 --> 00:30:28,960 Speaker 1: career because like all for all that stuff I just 529 00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:31,600 Speaker 1: said about like buying yourselves time, you don't know when 530 00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:33,720 Speaker 1: the right opportunity he's going to come along. It might 531 00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:36,280 Speaker 1: be next year, you know, and then he's gonna have 532 00:30:36,280 --> 00:30:38,600 Speaker 1: to he may have to find work somewhere else. So 533 00:30:38,880 --> 00:30:40,920 Speaker 1: I think he's just in a really interesting juncture of 534 00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:43,000 Speaker 1: his career. And like where I look at, like Kirk 535 00:30:43,040 --> 00:30:46,480 Speaker 1: Cousins and Derek Carr now is sort of in the 536 00:30:46,520 --> 00:30:49,080 Speaker 1: same spot. Alex Smith once was with the Chiefs. Did 537 00:30:49,080 --> 00:30:52,240 Speaker 1: you see the sideline video when they won a game, 538 00:30:52,640 --> 00:30:56,840 Speaker 1: last second field goal and Kirk Cousins pushes Mike Zimmer. 539 00:30:57,320 --> 00:31:00,479 Speaker 1: Mike Zimmer pushes him back, and it looks like and 540 00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:04,400 Speaker 1: then it looked like Mike Zimmer wanted to go after him. Yeah, 541 00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:06,760 Speaker 1: and then you find out that look like it did 542 00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:09,280 Speaker 1: look like fun and games. No, No, it's like one 543 00:31:09,280 --> 00:31:12,840 Speaker 1: of those like hey we won, boom, And then he 544 00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:16,400 Speaker 1: pushes his quarterback and then I thought, oh my god, 545 00:31:16,560 --> 00:31:18,720 Speaker 1: like Zimmer wanted it looked like he wanted to fight 546 00:31:18,880 --> 00:31:23,960 Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins after a win. Yeah, yeah, that thing went sideways. 547 00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:27,400 Speaker 1: And I don't know, I'm not sure. You know, Zimmer 548 00:31:27,440 --> 00:31:32,360 Speaker 1: always had his issues with the with quarterbacks like Zimmer 549 00:31:32,400 --> 00:31:36,280 Speaker 1: and I love Zim, like I he had a little 550 00:31:36,280 --> 00:31:38,440 Speaker 1: Buddy Ryan to him, you know what I mean, Like 551 00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:42,720 Speaker 1: he always had a little Buddy Ryan like resenting the 552 00:31:42,800 --> 00:31:46,200 Speaker 1: offense to him. And if you talk to the offensive coaches, 553 00:31:46,200 --> 00:31:49,760 Speaker 1: they would tell you, like how they were restricted in 554 00:31:49,800 --> 00:31:54,240 Speaker 1: certain ways because there was a certain formula he wanted 555 00:31:54,240 --> 00:31:58,840 Speaker 1: to play play with and that would highlight his defense, 556 00:31:59,040 --> 00:32:01,080 Speaker 1: you know, And Buddy Ryan was always that way. Rex 557 00:32:01,160 --> 00:32:03,280 Speaker 1: Ryan coached that way to some degree. So I think 558 00:32:03,360 --> 00:32:06,440 Speaker 1: Zimmer always had that sort of old school like a 559 00:32:06,520 --> 00:32:12,760 Speaker 1: little natural resentment of the offense and the quarterback if 560 00:32:12,800 --> 00:32:15,440 Speaker 1: it were to get in any way of his defense 561 00:32:15,520 --> 00:32:19,120 Speaker 1: performing at the level that he thought it could. I know, 562 00:32:19,160 --> 00:32:20,920 Speaker 1: you want to say, and it's good that I bring 563 00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:24,240 Speaker 1: up Buddy Ryan because Buddy Ryan actually punched an offensive, 564 00:32:24,880 --> 00:32:29,720 Speaker 1: an important offensive person like Kevin Gilbride. Yeah. Yeah, before 565 00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:31,840 Speaker 1: I let you go any imagine that happened. Can you 566 00:32:31,840 --> 00:32:37,080 Speaker 1: imagine that happened? Now? And then Sue Robinson would have 567 00:32:37,120 --> 00:32:39,920 Speaker 1: to hear the case and we would be getting a 568 00:32:39,920 --> 00:32:43,080 Speaker 1: fifteen page report on it quickly. The Buffalo Bills, you 569 00:32:43,120 --> 00:32:46,840 Speaker 1: went to see them. What's if there's one issue? Everybody 570 00:32:46,880 --> 00:32:52,800 Speaker 1: loves Buffalo? You got any issues with Buffalo? Hunter, I'm 571 00:32:52,840 --> 00:32:56,320 Speaker 1: not even kidding. Like when I asked them, I was like, 572 00:32:56,320 --> 00:32:59,120 Speaker 1: like I looked at the row, I mean it was 573 00:32:59,120 --> 00:33:04,880 Speaker 1: my first stop, and like that team looks like it's loaded. 574 00:33:04,920 --> 00:33:07,320 Speaker 1: I mean honestly, even like you think about like the 575 00:33:07,480 --> 00:33:11,560 Speaker 1: running back situation, right, So Singletary and Moss right, like 576 00:33:11,640 --> 00:33:14,560 Speaker 1: they think James Cook could be like a poor man's 577 00:33:14,640 --> 00:33:16,960 Speaker 1: version of his brother. So now you're putting him in 578 00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:19,680 Speaker 1: the backfield with a couple of other good players like 579 00:33:19,760 --> 00:33:22,120 Speaker 1: Gabe Davis is up to almost two hundred and thirty 580 00:33:22,120 --> 00:33:24,520 Speaker 1: pounds of good weight, Like looks like he could be 581 00:33:24,560 --> 00:33:28,320 Speaker 1: a monster, kayyere Elham, you know, like looks like he 582 00:33:28,440 --> 00:33:30,440 Speaker 1: just not that he's making plays left and right, but 583 00:33:30,480 --> 00:33:33,000 Speaker 1: just sort of blended in with the first defense. So 584 00:33:34,600 --> 00:33:38,440 Speaker 1: there's reason for real optimism in Buffalo. I mean, if 585 00:33:38,520 --> 00:33:40,360 Speaker 1: Josh Allen can pick up where he left off, and 586 00:33:40,400 --> 00:33:43,040 Speaker 1: they really think, like from the leadership standpoint, he hit 587 00:33:43,080 --> 00:33:44,920 Speaker 1: a turning point at like halftime of the Tampa game. 588 00:33:44,960 --> 00:33:46,560 Speaker 1: They wind up losing that game, but they came back 589 00:33:46,600 --> 00:33:50,520 Speaker 1: from way behind. If Josh Allen picks up where he 590 00:33:50,560 --> 00:33:53,280 Speaker 1: left off left off, I mean, I don't think I'm 591 00:33:53,320 --> 00:33:55,200 Speaker 1: speaking out of school to say that could be like 592 00:33:55,200 --> 00:33:58,240 Speaker 1: a fourteen fifteen win team. And you go back and 593 00:33:58,280 --> 00:34:02,760 Speaker 1: look at johsh Allen's rookie stent. They're worse than Zach Wilson. 594 00:34:03,320 --> 00:34:06,120 Speaker 1: Go back and look at honestly, Dan, go back and 595 00:34:06,160 --> 00:34:08,799 Speaker 1: look at what everybody was saying after that first year 596 00:34:09,360 --> 00:34:14,520 Speaker 1: about Darnold, about Mayfield, and about Allen. I mean, like, 597 00:34:14,719 --> 00:34:16,880 Speaker 1: I think there are a lot of people. There are 598 00:34:16,920 --> 00:34:21,800 Speaker 1: people who like Rosen more than Allan back then after 599 00:34:21,840 --> 00:34:25,920 Speaker 1: his rookie year. So it's like huge credit to Josh 600 00:34:25,960 --> 00:34:30,279 Speaker 1: Allen because we don't see that like normally, like like 601 00:34:30,320 --> 00:34:32,920 Speaker 1: after a year, we're not that far off, you know 602 00:34:32,920 --> 00:34:34,600 Speaker 1: what I mean. But if you read some of the 603 00:34:34,640 --> 00:34:37,160 Speaker 1: stuff after eighteen, the stuff people were saying about Josh Allen, 604 00:34:37,600 --> 00:34:41,520 Speaker 1: I mean, like, I don't know, cold cold takes exposed. Guy, 605 00:34:41,600 --> 00:34:44,760 Speaker 1: probably have a field day with it. Save travels. Always 606 00:34:44,760 --> 00:34:46,640 Speaker 1: great to talk to you. Thank you for your insights. 607 00:34:46,840 --> 00:34:50,120 Speaker 1: Thanks Dan. That's Albert Breer, the Monday Morning Quarterback. I 608 00:34:50,239 --> 00:34:53,000 Speaker 1: was one of those people with Josh Allen. There are 609 00:34:53,000 --> 00:34:54,759 Speaker 1: times like I said, I don't know if he knows 610 00:34:54,760 --> 00:34:59,080 Speaker 1: how to play, I would watch it and I go 611 00:34:59,520 --> 00:35:03,360 Speaker 1: He's Oh, raw had all this talent, big arm.

But I think every 663 00:38:18,800 --> 00:38:21,960 Speaker 1: time this gets brought up, we always just glance over 664 00:38:22,120 --> 00:38:26,520 Speaker 1: Robert Kraft and his ability to scathe with uh, you know, 665 00:38:26,760 --> 00:38:30,960 Speaker 1: escape that whole scenario in Florida with no penalty whatsoever, 666 00:38:31,040 --> 00:38:34,600 Speaker 1: and he committed a legal act. He just got lucky 667 00:38:34,600 --> 00:38:37,360 Speaker 1: and they found a loophole and how he was stopped 668 00:38:37,640 --> 00:38:40,359 Speaker 1: and got him got all those charges dismissed. I mean 669 00:38:40,400 --> 00:38:43,600 Speaker 1: that was I mean, we just we we always glanced 670 00:38:43,640 --> 00:38:45,719 Speaker 1: over that every single time. So the owners always seemed 671 00:38:45,719 --> 00:38:48,400 Speaker 1: to get a free pass and the players shouldn't get 672 00:38:48,400 --> 00:38:50,880 Speaker 1: a free pass. Or also there should be you know, 673 00:38:50,960 --> 00:38:54,040 Speaker 1: justice on both sides of the sent I agree, But 674 00:38:54,120 --> 00:38:56,960 Speaker 1: you know, let's talk about Deshaun Watson. What happens is 675 00:38:57,000 --> 00:39:00,280 Speaker 1: when we go, hey, you know, how about Robert Kraft? 676 00:39:00,520 --> 00:39:04,120 Speaker 1: How about we discuss Deshaun Watson and stay on Deshaun Watson. 677 00:39:04,200 --> 00:39:06,120 Speaker 1: You want to talk about Robert Kraft or the owners, 678 00:39:06,280 --> 00:39:09,239 Speaker 1: that's a separate topic. But yes, they should be held 679 00:39:09,280 --> 00:39:13,360 Speaker 1: accountable and they should be held away higher standard. But 680 00:39:13,400 --> 00:39:17,800 Speaker 1: we're talking about Deshaun Watson. That's how we argue. Now, Well, 681 00:39:17,800 --> 00:39:21,920 Speaker 1: but what about no, just talk about Deshaun Watson. Robert Kraft. 682 00:39:22,640 --> 00:39:28,560 Speaker 1: You know, he got publicly humiliated there. Yes, Robert Kraft 683 00:39:28,560 --> 00:39:31,400 Speaker 1: got caught up in a prostitution sting at a massage parlor. 684 00:39:32,920 --> 00:39:35,799 Speaker 1: He wasn't accused of sexual assaults by multiple women. It's 685 00:39:35,840 --> 00:39:39,239 Speaker 1: it's a totally different crime and penalty. And I mean 686 00:39:39,320 --> 00:39:42,600 Speaker 1: prostitution usually is a fine, you know what I mean, 687 00:39:42,880 --> 00:39:45,719 Speaker 1: or being a solicitation of prostitution or whatever. So he's 688 00:39:45,719 --> 00:39:50,719 Speaker 1: they're completely different scenarios, Yeah, completely different accusations, and they 689 00:39:50,800 --> 00:39:55,360 Speaker 1: keep getting lumped into the same thing. And it's drastically different. 690 00:39:55,440 --> 00:39:57,680 Speaker 1: If you want to bring up Ezekiel Elliott and you 691 00:39:57,680 --> 00:40:01,120 Speaker 1: want to bring up Ben Roethlisberger, then at least you're 692 00:40:01,160 --> 00:40:05,200 Speaker 1: in the neighborhood. And that's how the NFL looks at it, 693 00:40:05,239 --> 00:40:08,600 Speaker 1: and that's how this judge looked at it. But Robert 694 00:40:08,680 --> 00:40:11,160 Speaker 1: Kraft shouldn't be lumped in here. Do we need to 695 00:40:11,200 --> 00:40:15,319 Speaker 1: hold owners to a higher standard, Yes, but that's a 696 00:40:15,400 --> 00:40:20,000 Speaker 1: separate case. That's something completely different. Dan and Oregon. Hey, Dan, 697 00:40:20,040 --> 00:40:23,680 Speaker 1: what's on your mind? Yeah, with this Watson thing? You 698 00:40:23,719 --> 00:40:26,680 Speaker 1: know this year he's what making one million because of 699 00:40:26,719 --> 00:40:30,279 Speaker 1: the way that structured his contract. Yeah, so I'm just 700 00:40:30,400 --> 00:40:34,880 Speaker 1: wondering what percent of his total contract six games is 701 00:40:34,920 --> 00:40:38,040 Speaker 1: because it's all about the money, and you know, he 702 00:40:38,160 --> 00:40:40,879 Speaker 1: should have been fined and all kinds of stuff. Now, 703 00:40:40,920 --> 00:40:42,960 Speaker 1: I have a question for you. I've been listening to 704 00:40:43,000 --> 00:40:47,160 Speaker 1: you ever since you FDSPN, and I kept hearing Tommy 705 00:40:47,200 --> 00:40:50,520 Speaker 1: ole sort to ask you this. What's going up? Dan? 706 00:40:53,280 --> 00:40:57,680 Speaker 1: Thank you? Dan? Yeah, Tommy Lasorda a long time ago. 707 00:40:58,440 --> 00:41:01,560 Speaker 1: What's going up. Dan. I was like, what's going up? 708 00:41:02,239 --> 00:41:05,200 Speaker 1: I don't know, Donny. He morphed what's going on? And 709 00:41:05,280 --> 00:41:09,520 Speaker 1: what's up? Yeah? And then what's going on? If you 710 00:41:09,600 --> 00:41:13,600 Speaker 1: read the conclusion by this judge, the NFL may be 711 00:41:13,800 --> 00:41:18,759 Speaker 1: a forward facing organization, but it's not necessarily a forward 712 00:41:19,040 --> 00:41:23,439 Speaker 1: looking one. That jumped out at me. There's a few 713 00:41:23,440 --> 00:41:26,759 Speaker 1: things that jumped out at me. But I do think 714 00:41:26,800 --> 00:41:30,320 Speaker 1: this is on the commissioner because you're going to forget 715 00:41:30,360 --> 00:41:36,120 Speaker 1: about Sue Robinson in a month. This is about Roger Goodell. 716 00:41:36,320 --> 00:41:38,879 Speaker 1: He's the face of the league. This is about him, 717 00:41:40,080 --> 00:41:43,560 Speaker 1: whether he makes if he decides that he's going to 718 00:41:43,600 --> 00:41:46,440 Speaker 1: get involved in this, he's going to designate somebody to 719 00:41:46,480 --> 00:41:49,919 Speaker 1: get involved in this, or do you just say, look, 720 00:41:50,520 --> 00:41:52,960 Speaker 1: we have to trust the process. We agreed to this. 721 00:41:53,440 --> 00:41:57,080 Speaker 1: We respect the judge's verdict here and we will abide 722 00:41:57,120 --> 00:41:59,600 Speaker 1: by that. We don't like it, but we will abide 723 00:41:59,640 --> 00:42:02,000 Speaker 1: by that. Yeah. Point that will go over great with 724 00:42:02,040 --> 00:42:04,600 Speaker 1: the players and the players union and not very well 725 00:42:04,600 --> 00:42:09,080 Speaker 1: with many others. Yeah, even if it's the Doe process 726 00:42:09,120 --> 00:42:11,120 Speaker 1: correct thing to do. We will hear from the Cleveland 727 00:42:11,160 --> 00:42:17,480 Speaker 1: Brown's head coach Kevin Stefanski on the Deshaun Watson verdict. Also, 728 00:42:17,640 --> 00:42:20,480 Speaker 1: the great Pat McAfee will join us coming up this 729 00:42:20,680 --> 00:42:23,520 Speaker 1: next hour. Hope you join us Dan Patrick's show.

You want to score, You need a 732 00:42:29,840 --> 00:42:33,080 Speaker 1: wedge that creates the rawest form of spin possible to 733 00:42:33,160 --> 00:42:37,160 Speaker 1: deliver the best performance, like the new Jaws Raw from Callaway. 734 00:42:37,280 --> 00:42:39,640 Speaker 1: When I say raw and we mean Callaway has eliminated 735 00:42:39,760 --> 00:42:42,239 Speaker 1: any material between the club based and the ball, which 736 00:42:42,360 --> 00:42:45,880 Speaker 1: translates to more friction. Then you get the aggressive grooves, 737 00:42:45,920 --> 00:42:48,719 Speaker 1: and then we're talking about maximum one hop stop and 738 00:42:48,760 --> 00:42:51,560 Speaker 1: then spin. That's one hop stop spin and for the 739 00:42:51,560 --> 00:42:56,560 Speaker 1: first time ever, Callaway optimized wedge waiting using tungsten technology. 740 00:42:56,640 --> 00:42:59,759 Speaker 1: It gives you noticeably better control and trajectory so you 741 00:42:59,760 --> 00:43:02,480 Speaker 1: can attack the pin knowing that your ball will fly 742 00:43:02,640 --> 00:43:05,120 Speaker 1: and bite exactly the way you want them. Also a 743 00:43:05,160 --> 00:43:08,240 Speaker 1: little bit heavier, it feels like you've got a club 744 00:43:08,239 --> 00:43:11,640 Speaker 1: in your hand. Jaws Raw comes with four grinds, including 745 00:43:11,640 --> 00:43:15,120 Speaker 1: the all new Z grind for more forgiving shot Maker's wedge. 746 00:43:15,239 --> 00:43:18,480 Speaker 1: That's what I use Jaws Raw.
