They call it social distancing, a concept that 0:00:10.080 --> 0:00:13.320 some members of The Dan Patrick Show have been practicing 0:00:13.560 --> 0:00:17.240 for years. I remember this girl going gross get away 0:00:17.280 --> 0:00:21.920 from me. Some members of the show struggle giving people 0:00:22.040 --> 0:00:24.080 personal space. I think we all need to hug as 0:00:24.120 --> 0:00:27.440 often as possible and break after the show before the show. 0:00:27.680 --> 0:00:31.160 Never with you ever, but with recent events, it's important 0:00:31.200 --> 0:00:34.920 to remember that The Dan Patrick Show is available with 0:00:35.080 --> 0:00:39.200 no human interaction, none, no no.

Hey, 0:01:11.600 --> 0:01:13.600 I want to thank you guys for filling into the 0:01:13.640 --> 0:01:17.240 reaction has been great. Is Jason Smith and Rob Parker. 0:01:19.000 --> 0:01:21.000 It is our two of the Dan Patrick Show here 0:01:21.000 --> 0:01:23.720 at Fox Sports Radio. Jason Smith and Rob Parker in 0:01:23.840 --> 0:01:26.679 for Dan and the Danettes. They are off this week, 0:01:26.760 --> 0:01:29.200 a planned week off. They'll be back next week, ready 0:01:29.240 --> 0:01:32.160 to go. And Rob a couple of big NBA stories 0:01:32.200 --> 0:01:34.000 here to start the second hour of the show. As 0:01:34.000 --> 0:01:37.240 we happy Tuesday, We got Albert Brier coming up later 0:01:37.280 --> 0:01:38.920 on this hour to talk all the latest news in 0:01:38.920 --> 0:01:42.240 the National Football League. But one bit of news that's 0:01:42.280 --> 0:01:44.240 new coming in and one that I want to get 0:01:44.280 --> 0:01:47.640 into with to debate with you a bit on the 0:01:47.800 --> 0:01:52.400 Chinese Basketball Association was set to try to return. As 0:01:52.440 --> 0:01:54.080 you know, China has been through the worst of the 0:01:54.120 --> 0:01:57.120 coronavirus cases are on their way back down, and as 0:01:57.120 --> 0:02:00.680 we see across the globe, what's going on seeing Okay, 0:02:00.720 --> 0:02:03.840 these these big hot spots, you know, China especially, they've 0:02:03.880 --> 0:02:05.480 been through the worst and now they're on their way 0:02:05.480 --> 0:02:07.760 back down and they're looking to get back to normal life. 0:02:08.040 --> 0:02:11.959 And the professional basketball was set to come back in China, 0:02:12.000 --> 0:02:15.680 but the restart of the season is being postponed due 0:02:15.720 --> 0:02:19.960 to the asymptomatic cases, which are people who carry coronavirus 0:02:20.280 --> 0:02:22.760 don't show any symptoms and could still pass it along 0:02:22.800 --> 0:02:27.040 to people. So the big restart of the season is 0:02:27.080 --> 0:02:29.480 going to be a postponement there. And you can say, okay, 0:02:29.480 --> 0:02:31.679 this is Chinese basketball, but what does that have to 0:02:31.760 --> 0:02:34.960 do with with United States in the NBA and That's 0:02:34.960 --> 0:02:37.600 the thing that I think people aren't taking as much 0:02:37.639 --> 0:02:41.119 into account for Rob as that when we want, we're 0:02:41.120 --> 0:02:43.160 gonna want to get back to normal as soon as possible. 0:02:43.240 --> 0:02:45.680 Right this quarantine life that we're all living, we're all 0:02:45.720 --> 0:02:48.640 doing our best. Look, you know, I'm streaming everything I 0:02:48.680 --> 0:02:50.960 can on Netflix. It's a you know, Netflix is getting 0:02:50.960 --> 0:02:53.120 a workout in miles I'm sure in your house as well. 0:02:53.160 --> 0:02:55.520 And everybody's trying to do what they can. We're two 0:02:55.560 --> 0:02:57.720 weeks into this. When you think of what we still 0:02:57.760 --> 0:02:59.560 have to go through, you know, we'll get, we'll get 0:02:59.560 --> 0:03:02.560 We'll get into this new schedule eventually and and find 0:03:02.639 --> 0:03:04.679 and be okay with it and the new norm and 0:03:04.760 --> 0:03:07.000 figure when we go out and get groceries we stay home, 0:03:07.240 --> 0:03:09.880 how we can go outside in social distance and still 0:03:10.200 --> 0:03:13.040 you know, not go crazy. But we're gonna want to 0:03:13.040 --> 0:03:15.800 get back to normal sooner rather than later. And there's 0:03:15.840 --> 0:03:17.880 gonna be a big push to say, okay, no, everything 0:03:17.960 --> 0:03:21.360 is fine, everything is fine. But the players are gonna 0:03:21.440 --> 0:03:23.920 raise their hand and go okay, so we're okay to 0:03:23.960 --> 0:03:27.919 come back without fans because it's dangerous for the fans. 0:03:27.960 --> 0:03:31.160 But what about us who were banging every night and 0:03:31.160 --> 0:03:34.399 we're exchanging droplets and you know, sweat on each other. 0:03:34.480 --> 0:03:37.280 It's it's okay for us, but it's not okay for 0:03:37.360 --> 0:03:39.280 the fans. And I think that's kind of what Lebron 0:03:39.480 --> 0:03:42.880 was trying to say on the Richard Jefferson podcast on 0:03:42.920 --> 0:03:45.680 Friday night, was saying, Hey, there's no NBA without the fans. 0:03:45.680 --> 0:03:47.520 We do X, Y and Z. And what am I 0:03:47.560 --> 0:03:50.240 gonna do if there's a loose ball and I'm going 0:03:50.280 --> 0:03:52.320 for it with a guy that I know had coronavirus? 0:03:52.360 --> 0:03:54.000 Am I gonna go after it as hard as I should? 0:03:54.040 --> 0:03:55.720 Am I gonna getting as close to him as I 0:03:55.760 --> 0:03:58.840 need to. I think he was trying to throw it 0:03:58.880 --> 0:04:01.520 out there that it's because you're gonna want to come back. 0:04:01.600 --> 0:04:04.160 We all want to come back. We're not coming back 0:04:04.160 --> 0:04:06.880 if there's still a kind of danger out there for 0:04:06.920 --> 0:04:08.240 us to spread this. We want to make sure this 0:04:08.320 --> 0:04:11.520 coronavirus goes away. And if the Chinese Basketball League, which 0:04:11.560 --> 0:04:13.720 is trying to come back, says waiting, there's still too 0:04:13.720 --> 0:04:16.040 many asymptomatic cases. We don't want this to get a 0:04:16.480 --> 0:04:19.480 fresh round in our country. I think that's what we 0:04:19.520 --> 0:04:21.440 need to look at in the NBA and the NHL 0:04:21.520 --> 0:04:24.000 and MLS and all the other sports as well. Is that, Okay, 0:04:24.000 --> 0:04:26.520 when we are past the worst of it and we're 0:04:26.520 --> 0:04:28.720 trying to get back to normal, they're still going to 0:04:28.800 --> 0:04:31.360 be that Is it still really one hundred percent safe 0:04:31.600 --> 0:04:33.360 for players to come back? Because if it's not safe 0:04:33.360 --> 0:04:35.799 for fans to come back, how is it safe for players? 0:04:35.800 --> 0:04:37.520 And I think you're going to get a pushback from 0:04:37.560 --> 0:04:40.440 the players and we're not going to be able to say, Okay, 0:04:40.440 --> 0:04:42.760 we're back, let's start. I think it may be postponed 0:04:42.800 --> 0:04:45.360 further because of that. Well, I agree, and I think 0:04:45.400 --> 0:04:48.040 that's what Van Gundy was saying. And ultimately they can 0:04:48.120 --> 0:04:51.240 talk about all the things they want to try and 0:04:52.400 --> 0:04:56.880 you know, no fans and some sort of isolated site 0:04:56.960 --> 0:04:59.360 so that at least you could televise games and all that. 0:05:00.000 --> 0:05:02.360 But there's too many people that have to be involved 0:05:02.400 --> 0:05:05.760 in order for this to go on. Referees, right, the 0:05:05.839 --> 0:05:09.560 people who run the clocks and the statistics, the ball boys. 0:05:10.080 --> 0:05:14.039 It's not just twelve guys from each team and a 0:05:14.080 --> 0:05:16.279 couple of coaches, do you know what I mean? This 0:05:16.480 --> 0:05:19.919 staff that has to be evolved involved in this. What 0:05:20.040 --> 0:05:22.880 about the writers? Are they covering the games, or writers 0:05:23.040 --> 0:05:25.719 covering the games or no. I mean, so the press 0:05:25.760 --> 0:05:28.360 has to be there. There's just so many ways that 0:05:28.400 --> 0:05:32.240 guys could still wind up with that, you know, with 0:05:32.279 --> 0:05:35.479 the virus passing around. And I think you're right if 0:05:35.520 --> 0:05:39.240 it's not safe enough to bring the fans back, I don't. 0:05:39.240 --> 0:05:41.120 I think that tells you it's not safe enough for 0:05:41.160 --> 0:05:44.760 the players. They're not immune, they're not exempt. And then 0:05:44.800 --> 0:05:47.920 what happens if you find out that a staff or 0:05:48.120 --> 0:05:52.920 or a player Jason has it? Now what Now You've 0:05:52.920 --> 0:05:56.480 exposed these people, you know, these players or whatnot again 0:05:56.480 --> 0:06:00.200 into a situation and then and then you might I'd 0:06:00.240 --> 0:06:02.800 have to, you know, pull the plug again. So so 0:06:03.240 --> 0:06:05.839 there's a lot of stuff going on there. I'm not 0:06:06.080 --> 0:06:09.520 I think it's too tricky. I think it's too tricky 0:06:09.800 --> 0:06:12.080 to predict if they can come back and play. I 0:06:12.200 --> 0:06:15.479 understand why they want to play. Everybody wants them to play. 0:06:16.520 --> 0:06:18.520 This was supposed to shape up to, you know, so 0:06:18.600 --> 0:06:22.159 Lebron gonna get another championship win won in La? Are 0:06:22.160 --> 0:06:25.560 the Clippers gonna win? Is Milwaukee gonna win? There some 0:06:25.720 --> 0:06:28.560 intrigued there that people were looking forward to us we 0:06:28.800 --> 0:06:31.200 you know, close out the NBA season, but I'm not 0:06:31.240 --> 0:06:33.480 so sure we're gonna get that. You know. That's why 0:06:33.520 --> 0:06:35.839 I think Major League I always look and see what 0:06:35.920 --> 0:06:38.919 are signs that I can see someplace else in the world, 0:06:39.200 --> 0:06:41.479 or that's gonna tell us, Okay, this is what we're 0:06:41.760 --> 0:06:44.560 gonna experience because the unknown is scary, right. We don't 0:06:44.560 --> 0:06:46.680 know what's next. And every day we wake up and 0:06:46.720 --> 0:06:48.800 do the same thing. We get online, we check what's 0:06:48.839 --> 0:06:51.120 what's the latest, what's happening now? Or things better? Are 0:06:51.120 --> 0:06:53.880 they worse? And you know, I always look and say, Okay, 0:06:53.920 --> 0:06:55.920 what's a sign that can tell me this is what's 0:06:55.920 --> 0:06:58.120 gonna be next for us? And I see this, and 0:06:58.200 --> 0:06:59.840 I say, this is what's next for us when it 0:06:59.880 --> 0:07:03.560 comes to sports and and the NBA returning, Look at 0:07:03.560 --> 0:07:07.800 what China is doing the asymptomatic cases. We are postponing. 0:07:07.839 --> 0:07:09.800 And that's going to be what the NBA is going 0:07:09.840 --> 0:07:12.640 to have to do because even when they want to return, Okay, 0:07:12.720 --> 0:07:14.400 well now we have this, we got to make sure 0:07:14.480 --> 0:07:18.360 that that everything is gone before and there's no danger 0:07:18.400 --> 0:07:20.679 before we come back to play. That's why I feel 0:07:20.720 --> 0:07:23.160 like Major League Baseball's got it right. You know, when 0:07:23.160 --> 0:07:25.880 they put out that statement late last week saying, here's 0:07:26.160 --> 0:07:30.680 here's the we outline our probabilities for return. We want 0:07:30.720 --> 0:07:33.080 to make sure there's no travel restrictions between the United 0:07:33.120 --> 0:07:35.440 States and Canada. We want to make sure that there's 0:07:35.480 --> 0:07:38.520 no danger in social gathering, which means that fans can come, 0:07:38.560 --> 0:07:40.800 and if fans can come, that means the players can 0:07:40.840 --> 0:07:44.200 be there, and that there's no danger to the players 0:07:44.640 --> 0:07:48.520 in competing. And that's what was agreed upon. And I 0:07:48.560 --> 0:07:52.280 think that's what every professional sports league is going to 0:07:52.320 --> 0:07:56.320 agree upon. Okay, no travel restrictions, the players are all safe, 0:07:56.600 --> 0:07:58.800 and when the fans can come back, we all come back. 0:07:59.120 --> 0:08:01.120 And that that's how it's gonna wind up being. And 0:08:01.120 --> 0:08:02.480 I think you're gonna see a lot of a lot 0:08:02.480 --> 0:08:05.760 of leagues adopt that as the boilerplate of their agreement. 0:08:05.960 --> 0:08:07.960 Here's what we need for when we return. And if 0:08:07.960 --> 0:08:10.080 you need all of those things to return, I mean, 0:08:10.400 --> 0:08:12.440 you know, look, it's it's not it's not it's not May, 0:08:12.520 --> 0:08:14.920 middle of May, June. This is how much into the 0:08:14.920 --> 0:08:16.640 summer are we are? We at the point where a 0:08:16.720 --> 0:08:19.200 variable enters and when the weather warms up. In the 0:08:19.200 --> 0:08:23.280 coronavirus cases, disappear dramatically and suddenly, then we can really 0:08:24.360 --> 0:08:27.560 heal and and get healthier at a geometric rate. I mean, 0:08:27.600 --> 0:08:29.080 that's what I think. You have to look at it 0:08:29.120 --> 0:08:31.320 and hope that that's where we're at. But seeing this 0:08:31.440 --> 0:08:34.280 being the the boilerplate for a return, I mean, this 0:08:34.360 --> 0:08:36.520 means it's gonna it's still gonna be as as long 0:08:36.559 --> 0:08:38.160 as you think it's gonna be. It's gonna be longer 0:08:38.160 --> 0:08:41.839 than that. It's hard for me to disagree. I mean, 0:08:42.320 --> 0:08:43.880 I'm right, I'm right, Rob. I mean, that's the thing. 0:08:43.920 --> 0:08:46.480 You know, it's not often that you're right on these things. 0:08:46.520 --> 0:08:49.199 You know, we fill them and do shows together, and 0:08:49.320 --> 0:08:52.160 me and you butt heads because you know you're off 0:08:52.160 --> 0:08:54.720 the wall. But but it's hard for me to argue 0:08:54.760 --> 0:08:56.920 with that. It would be great for me to sit 0:08:57.000 --> 0:08:59.240 here and say, oh, no, everything will be straightened out 0:08:59.280 --> 0:09:02.080 in six weeks or a month and a month or whatever. 0:09:02.559 --> 0:09:05.120 Just doesn't look like that. And you and you're right 0:09:06.000 --> 0:09:09.400 with what Baseball put out um and the NBA, and 0:09:09.480 --> 0:09:11.640 I give the NBA credit. As soon as a player 0:09:11.760 --> 0:09:15.040 was found positive, it was they shut everything down and 0:09:15.120 --> 0:09:18.320 what like they should have h and now it's it's 0:09:18.360 --> 0:09:22.000 a difficult spot to be in all these commissioners and 0:09:22.040 --> 0:09:26.200 you know, Kirk Kirk curb Street from ESPN said he 0:09:26.360 --> 0:09:29.360 thinks that the college football and NFL season won't be played. 0:09:29.440 --> 0:09:33.920 I mean, Jason, when you hear that, I mean that 0:09:33.960 --> 0:09:37.560 means we're in for this for months, right, Like, Yeah, 0:09:37.600 --> 0:09:40.280 I mean, I think it's a little too early to say, Okay, 0:09:40.320 --> 0:09:42.960 once you get to September, are we there? You know? 0:09:43.040 --> 0:09:46.440 And look, can I see some preseason games, uh, you know, 0:09:46.559 --> 0:09:48.679 get knocked off this year? Because yeah, I could see that, 0:09:48.679 --> 0:09:50.800 because I could see training camp starting late. Could I 0:09:50.840 --> 0:09:53.960 even see maybe a twelve game season this year if 0:09:53.960 --> 0:09:56.240 it if it worse comes to worse and you're talking 0:09:56.240 --> 0:09:59.720 about playing the beginning of October. Yeah, but I still 0:09:59.720 --> 0:10:01.880 think the NFL is gonna wind up playing and they're 0:10:01.920 --> 0:10:04.360 gonna have close to a full season as long as 0:10:04.400 --> 0:10:07.559 things progress in the United States as they're progressing in 0:10:07.960 --> 0:10:09.880 the rest of the world. Yeah, I don't know. I 0:10:09.880 --> 0:10:14.040 don't know. Like my issue is the the the number 0:10:14.120 --> 0:10:16.319 that the that the White House put out and people 0:10:16.360 --> 0:10:20.000 are talking about the loss of two hundred thousand people 0:10:20.000 --> 0:10:23.520 in the United States. Yeah, that's not gonna happen. Next month. 0:10:23.760 --> 0:10:25.800 Do you know what I mean, that's gonna it's gonna 0:10:25.840 --> 0:10:28.120 take months to get to that number. Don't you believe 0:10:28.400 --> 0:10:31.120 to get to two hundred thousand? Yeah, it's gonna well, 0:10:31.240 --> 0:10:33.600 you know, I don't know. I mean every every day 0:10:33.640 --> 0:10:36.560 when you look at that, at the the increasing number 0:10:36.559 --> 0:10:39.719 of cases, and but I'm talking about I don't know, Yeah, 0:10:39.760 --> 0:10:42.439 I know, yeah, who knows how luck? I don't know 0:10:42.559 --> 0:10:45.079 how how far along you know people are that have it. 0:10:45.280 --> 0:10:48.200 You had hot spots like New York and and different cities, 0:10:48.240 --> 0:10:50.199 and you know in LA that's starting to become one. 0:10:50.600 --> 0:10:53.080 So I you know, it's it's it's hard for me 0:10:53.160 --> 0:10:55.800 to say when that's gonna happen. Now, would you tell 0:10:55.880 --> 0:10:58.280 another thing too? Here's the other thing in the NFL. 0:10:59.160 --> 0:11:03.600 It's it's really if the NBA is contact in your 0:11:03.640 --> 0:11:08.600 close quarters, the NFL too, you're on top of people sweat, saliva, 0:11:08.880 --> 0:11:13.640 snot whatever is flying. I mean, don't you think that 0:11:13.640 --> 0:11:17.480 that there's better chances of people playing football to contract 0:11:17.520 --> 0:11:21.480 It is almost impossible not to be in each other's 0:11:21.480 --> 0:11:24.360 private space. You're talking about staying away from people's six 0:11:24.440 --> 0:11:27.040 feet the NFL, I'm on top of you. I just 0:11:27.080 --> 0:11:30.520 tackled you. I'm we're face to face on the ground. Well, 0:11:30.559 --> 0:11:32.840 I'm sure what they'll do is this is they will 0:11:33.240 --> 0:11:36.360 have everybody take a test, and you know everyone, everyone's 0:11:36.400 --> 0:11:38.240 gonna have to pass test before they come back to play. 0:11:38.520 --> 0:11:40.720 And what's gonna happen is, Okay, we're going to training 0:11:40.760 --> 0:11:43.640 camp and everybody is testing, and this is who's around 0:11:43.679 --> 0:11:45.600 training camp, and it's just gonna be us. It's just 0:11:45.600 --> 0:11:48.360 gonna be these. However, many people, maybe they invite less 0:11:48.360 --> 0:11:51.000 people to training camp as a result, but these are 0:11:51.000 --> 0:11:53.680 the people here. There's gonna be no contact and we're 0:11:53.679 --> 0:11:56.240 gonna have training camp, you know, kind of in quarantine 0:11:56.280 --> 0:11:59.240 for that and that you're talking about another month of 0:11:59.400 --> 0:12:02.360 not being of being able to get past the other 0:12:02.360 --> 0:12:04.439 side of this. So if that's the kay, like you're 0:12:04.440 --> 0:12:06.880 also we're also talking about September. That's a lot of 0:12:06.920 --> 0:12:09.800 time between now and then. But what I can you know, 0:12:09.880 --> 0:12:14.240 you mentioned the difficulty for players in some of the danger. 0:12:14.640 --> 0:12:18.040 One thing I can see in a big way is 0:12:18.640 --> 0:12:22.280 teams that play in the hotspot cities, you know, specifically 0:12:22.840 --> 0:12:25.239 you know New York right now, which is being overrun 0:12:25.280 --> 0:12:27.240 and every day. As an update on you know what's 0:12:27.240 --> 0:12:30.800 happening with New York City. I can see there being 0:12:30.920 --> 0:12:33.880 such a concern that teams like the Jets and the 0:12:33.920 --> 0:12:36.839 Giants have to play somewhere else, have to be and 0:12:36.960 --> 0:12:41.720 and and and play their games at a at another site, 0:12:41.720 --> 0:12:43.840 almost like a like of a team is having a 0:12:44.880 --> 0:12:46.920 you know, a new stadium built and they have to 0:12:46.920 --> 0:12:48.600 play somewhere else for a year, that have to play 0:12:48.640 --> 0:12:50.720 in a different plot, except this is going to be 0:12:50.720 --> 0:12:52.960 where they play in a different location. Like could the 0:12:53.040 --> 0:12:55.600 Jets have to play out of Buffalo for a year 0:12:55.720 --> 0:12:57.600 because of it because New York City is so bad 0:12:57.640 --> 0:12:59.280 they got to play the Could they have to play 0:12:59.320 --> 0:13:02.320 someplace else, play in Washington and they split time there 0:13:02.400 --> 0:13:06.000 because of the hotspot. It's gonna take New York longer 0:13:06.000 --> 0:13:09.319 to recover some of those bigger cities that are gonna 0:13:09.360 --> 0:13:11.800 have that. That's gonna be longer. I can see them saying, 0:13:11.800 --> 0:13:13.640 you know what, we can't have the big gatherings here. 0:13:13.679 --> 0:13:16.760 We can't do this. They have to play someplace else. Yeah, 0:13:16.840 --> 0:13:19.400 I mean it could be the case in some of 0:13:19.400 --> 0:13:23.920 these cities. So it just depends on how many do 0:13:23.960 --> 0:13:25.680 you know what I mean? Are you also move into 0:13:25.760 --> 0:13:28.920 Chargers and the Rams out of LA do you know 0:13:28.960 --> 0:13:33.160 what I mean, It's not just New York. It would 0:13:33.200 --> 0:13:35.600 have to be a number of cities. And then how 0:13:35.679 --> 0:13:38.800 does that work with attendance and people showing up? And 0:13:39.800 --> 0:13:42.320 are we talking about games without fans in the NFL 0:13:42.440 --> 0:13:45.400 or you're talking about fans that buy September we're back 0:13:45.480 --> 0:13:48.080 to back in business. I'm talking about by the time 0:13:48.240 --> 0:13:51.800 we get to September in October, then it'll be it'll 0:13:51.840 --> 0:13:53.920 be okay to go to the games. I mean, because look, 0:13:53.920 --> 0:13:55.920 there's also going to be We talked about the push 0:13:55.960 --> 0:13:58.200 a few minutes ago about how NBA is gonna want 0:13:58.200 --> 0:13:59.760 to come back, and players are gonna say when it's 0:13:59.760 --> 0:14:02.880 says there, there's got to be a time when we say, okay, 0:14:02.920 --> 0:14:06.040 now we're gonna get back to normal. And you know this, 0:14:06.320 --> 0:14:08.320 we kind of have to move forward here in our life. 0:14:08.679 --> 0:14:10.560 We got to make that decision at some point. And 0:14:10.640 --> 0:14:14.000 as long as there's gonna be no real danger for 0:14:14.080 --> 0:14:16.240 people to come to games, then we're gonna have the 0:14:16.240 --> 0:14:18.679 game start again. You know, there's still could there be 0:14:18.760 --> 0:14:20.960 a case where a someone comes and somebody gets sick 0:14:20.960 --> 0:14:22.960 of the game. Yeah, But I mean and I don't know. 0:14:23.040 --> 0:14:25.200 I'm not a medical expert obviously, but I have to 0:14:25.240 --> 0:14:28.000 think that you know, you're never going to eradicate everything, 0:14:28.480 --> 0:14:30.720 you know, so there's always going to be cases where 0:14:30.880 --> 0:14:33.880 times where that can happen. But if for vast majority 0:14:33.880 --> 0:14:36.080 to get back to normal life and get and get 0:14:36.120 --> 0:14:38.160 the economy back going where it is, we're gonna have 0:14:38.200 --> 0:14:40.080 to make that decision at some point. And as long 0:14:40.080 --> 0:14:43.240 as it's it's it's clear for fans to go to games, 0:14:43.280 --> 0:14:45.440 then that's gonna be. That's gonna be the big final 0:14:45.800 --> 0:14:48.040 green light that goes it lets us all play. Yeah. 0:14:48.080 --> 0:14:49.800 The only thing is, and I say it is with 0:14:49.840 --> 0:14:53.560 the NBA, uh, you know, the longer you don't practice 0:14:53.600 --> 0:14:57.240 and the longer you can't train, I think that's what derails. 0:14:57.240 --> 0:14:59.800 And even in football, you know with training camp opening 0:14:59.880 --> 0:15:02.720 up up and stuff. And I think that's what Kirk 0:15:02.800 --> 0:15:06.880 is really talking about, is the other process that goes 0:15:06.920 --> 0:15:10.640 along with it. So September might be cool or getting cool, 0:15:11.280 --> 0:15:13.880 but you haven't practiced, and you haven't been together, and 0:15:13.880 --> 0:15:15.800 you haven't done the things that you need to do 0:15:15.840 --> 0:15:18.720 to play football. Do you know what I'm saying? Like 0:15:18.760 --> 0:15:23.240 that that could further delay it just because you can't 0:15:23.280 --> 0:15:26.280 get back on the field yet and we're still months away. 0:15:26.400 --> 0:15:28.840 I don't. I don't know how this thing works. This 0:15:29.040 --> 0:15:31.200 is the This is the thing I think that frustrates 0:15:31.280 --> 0:15:35.400 most people is that you can deal with stuff when 0:15:35.440 --> 0:15:38.320 you know that there's an end, Like, Okay, I can 0:15:38.400 --> 0:15:40.240 deal with this for a couple of months if I 0:15:40.280 --> 0:15:43.080 know that this will be over. That's not where we are. 0:15:43.200 --> 0:15:45.680 We just don't know that, And I think that's the 0:15:45.760 --> 0:15:48.800 part that people have a issue with. You know, like, 0:15:49.320 --> 0:15:51.080 I don't is this going to be over in two 0:15:51.120 --> 0:15:55.080 months or ten months or next year? Do we know? 0:15:55.360 --> 0:15:58.800 We don't know? Twitter out how about a Fresca rob 0:15:58.840 --> 0:16:01.560 at Rob Parker FS one Jason Smith, Rob Parker in 0:16:01.640 --> 0:16:03.560 for Dan and the Danets again. The new news just 0:16:03.600 --> 0:16:08.040 coming in the Chinese basketball season's return was postponed because 0:16:08.080 --> 0:16:12.320 of worry of asymptomatic cases. So their return got pushed 0:16:12.360 --> 0:16:14.000 back a little bit. Something I think we're going to 0:16:14.040 --> 0:16:16.160 see happen in the United States. We get to that 0:16:16.200 --> 0:16:19.120 point as well, the asymptomatic cases or something that needs 0:16:19.160 --> 0:16:24.920 to be cordoned off and taken care of before anybody 0:16:24.920 --> 0:16:27.320 in any sport wants to return so I think what 0:16:27.320 --> 0:16:30.080 we're seeing here in China as far as that return 0:16:30.160 --> 0:16:32.240 being postponed, something we're going to see in the United States. 0:16:32.240 --> 0:16:33.800 As time goes on. We'll have more on this story 0:16:34.160 --> 0:16:36.080 as it develops. We got Albert Brier coming up in 0:16:36.120 --> 0:16:37.560 a few minutes.

It was very surprising. Jason Light doing an 0:17:25.880 --> 0:17:28.240 interview GM of the Bucks yesterday saying that yeah, yeah, 0:17:28.240 --> 0:17:30.000 well I was surprised. You know, we're on ready to 0:17:30.000 --> 0:17:32.320 pitch him, and he's the one telling us about him 0:17:32.359 --> 0:17:35.000 knowing our team and that hey, this is you know 0:17:35.119 --> 0:17:38.359 Brady wanted to come here, and you know, seeing this 0:17:38.760 --> 0:17:41.960 number one, I don't believe it at all, any anything 0:17:42.080 --> 0:17:43.880 I have seen, if I can, if I can go 0:17:44.320 --> 0:17:46.359 look at one thing with Brady over the course of 0:17:46.400 --> 0:17:48.639 the past few months is he has done a great 0:17:48.800 --> 0:17:53.000 job in controlling the narrative of what people think of 0:17:53.160 --> 0:17:57.120 him and his free agency. Everything we've gotten was from 0:17:57.200 --> 0:18:00.359 Jeff Darlington or Adam Schefter, and it was stuff that 0:18:00.359 --> 0:18:02.960 nobody else had. You know, it wasn't the Patriots talking, 0:18:03.000 --> 0:18:05.600 so you know, they were talking to Brady's people, and 0:18:05.840 --> 0:18:08.920 every story that came out about Brady was this is 0:18:08.960 --> 0:18:11.960 what the Patriots have done. Tom Brady is going to leave. 0:18:12.359 --> 0:18:14.359 You know, we never got any sense that he was 0:18:14.400 --> 0:18:17.000 going to stay. We heard about bad phone calls with 0:18:17.080 --> 0:18:18.840 him and the Patriots, a phone call that didn't go 0:18:18.960 --> 0:18:22.639 very well, and everything was very pro Brady, and I 0:18:23.040 --> 0:18:25.600 just see this is another story in an example of 0:18:25.880 --> 0:18:28.920 how Brady trying to say, oh yeah, I wanted Tampa Bay, 0:18:28.960 --> 0:18:31.000 when the reality was something we've talked about earlier in 0:18:31.000 --> 0:18:33.200 the show. How many teams really in on him, how 0:18:33.200 --> 0:18:36.359 many teams really wanted Tom Brady. I mean, there should 0:18:36.359 --> 0:18:39.000 have been the first the first day of free agency, 0:18:39.040 --> 0:18:41.800 that first minute, so many teams calling going hey, Tom, 0:18:41.840 --> 0:18:43.160 do you want to come here? What do you want? 0:18:43.280 --> 0:18:45.280 But there was none of that. It was pretty quiet, 0:18:45.480 --> 0:18:48.280 and very quickly we got down to it's just a 0:18:48.280 --> 0:18:50.560 couple of teams. It's Tampa Bay and it's the Chargers, 0:18:50.560 --> 0:18:52.960 and I want to stay on the East Coast. And okay, 0:18:53.119 --> 0:18:55.080 the only team that was gonna have me was gonna 0:18:55.119 --> 0:18:57.160 be Tampa Bay. So I want to control the narrative 0:18:57.200 --> 0:19:00.359 that I picked Tampa Bay, when in reality, do you 0:19:00.400 --> 0:19:03.440 really think that's where Brady wanted to go? I mean, way, 0:19:03.680 --> 0:19:06.280 I don't believe it. In where those ugly uniforms in 0:19:06.359 --> 0:19:09.720 the whole nine yards. This is a franchise, Jason that 0:19:09.800 --> 0:19:13.360 hasn't been in the playoffs in twelve years. This year 0:19:13.400 --> 0:19:15.640 where Brady will make it a Baker's doesn't. But we'll 0:19:15.720 --> 0:19:20.720 get to that later. But anyway, I just I think 0:19:20.720 --> 0:19:23.600 you're right, this is Brady trying to spend it. He's 0:19:23.640 --> 0:19:26.680 trying to sell itself. It's almost pathetic that he's trying to. 0:19:26.840 --> 0:19:31.840 He had to convince them that he's the perfect fit 0:19:31.920 --> 0:19:34.280 for them. It just tells you. And there was a 0:19:34.320 --> 0:19:38.000 reporter on ESPN who didn't source it or say that 0:19:38.119 --> 0:19:40.480 this is what she knew and blah blah blah, but 0:19:40.920 --> 0:19:42.960 she put out there that there wasn't a market for 0:19:43.000 --> 0:19:46.600 Brady and she was absolutely right when you look at 0:19:46.600 --> 0:19:50.200 what the Colts did, especially a franchise like that, where 0:19:50.200 --> 0:19:53.200 I thought, if I had a chance to take Brady 0:19:53.560 --> 0:19:56.560 or Philip Rivers, and I'm trying to put all my 0:19:56.640 --> 0:19:58.639 chips in the middle of the table and give myself 0:19:58.680 --> 0:20:01.480 a shot maybe this year, next year, I would take 0:20:01.560 --> 0:20:04.959 Brady over Philip Rivers. But the difference Philip Rivers got 0:20:05.000 --> 0:20:08.040 a one year contract. Brady's trying to hold people hostage 0:20:08.080 --> 0:20:11.560 for two years right at at at forty three years 0:20:11.560 --> 0:20:15.120 old starting this season. I think that's what turned most 0:20:15.160 --> 0:20:18.119 people off to Tom Brady and less not. And I 0:20:18.160 --> 0:20:21.639 think you said it earlier, Jason and his right. Despite 0:20:21.680 --> 0:20:26.120 the wins, despite the numbers or whatever, Tom Brady did 0:20:26.160 --> 0:20:29.720 not have a great year last year. You saw the signs. 0:20:30.000 --> 0:20:34.480 I don't know. You know Tom Brady's badge, Avanna was 0:20:34.520 --> 0:20:38.280 always Tom Brady does more with less than anybody else. 0:20:38.359 --> 0:20:41.240 That's what I was always told, right, and then last 0:20:41.320 --> 0:20:44.080 year was well what do you expect? He didn't have anybody? 0:20:44.760 --> 0:20:50.600 Which one is it? So I think Tampa Bay really 0:20:51.320 --> 0:20:54.440 wound up paying the bad team tax having to take 0:20:54.520 --> 0:20:57.000 on the second year. I get why the Chargers were 0:20:57.000 --> 0:21:00.520 willing to take Tom Brady, and I think along with football, 0:21:00.520 --> 0:21:03.800 the bigger part was financial. They got a brand new 0:21:03.880 --> 0:21:08.440 stadium opening in Los Angeles. Their fan base is almost 0:21:08.480 --> 0:21:12.119 non existent, and Jason, they need to sell tickets. Brady 0:21:12.160 --> 0:21:14.800 would have done a lot for that, at least in 0:21:14.840 --> 0:21:17.400 the first or second year of this new stadium, So 0:21:17.440 --> 0:21:22.240 the Charges made sense. Tampa Bay did it because they're bad. 0:21:22.280 --> 0:21:24.560 They're bad franchise have been. I don't care what the 0:21:24.640 --> 0:21:27.560 roster is. They're a bad team that hasn't won and 0:21:27.600 --> 0:21:30.840 they still have DISI have a tough competition in the 0:21:30.880 --> 0:21:34.760 division that they're in now. And that's the one lesson 0:21:35.040 --> 0:21:37.600 that I think everybody can take away from this is that, 0:21:37.720 --> 0:21:40.200 regardless as to who you are, when you are an 0:21:40.200 --> 0:21:42.840 aging superstar and you're forty two, going to be forty 0:21:42.880 --> 0:21:45.440 three years old, and your play on the field is declining. 0:21:46.040 --> 0:21:48.640 You're not going to be the person that can pick 0:21:48.680 --> 0:21:50.359 and choose where they want to go. This is not 0:21:50.440 --> 0:21:53.080 a thirty year old Tom Brady hitting free agency. It's 0:21:53.080 --> 0:21:55.680 not a twenty eight year old Kirk Cousins hitting free agency. 0:21:55.920 --> 0:21:58.240 This is a forty two year old Tom Brady, who 0:21:58.280 --> 0:22:00.119 did not have a big year last year, who the 0:22:00.160 --> 0:22:02.960 Patriots want to move on from. And if the Patriots, 0:22:03.080 --> 0:22:06.560 who know Brady more than anybody, knowing better than anybody 0:22:06.600 --> 0:22:08.680 in the world, and they've had him and they've gotten 0:22:08.720 --> 0:22:13.000 to unbridled and unaccomplished success over the course of the 0:22:13.040 --> 0:22:16.080 past twenty years, if they're ready to move on from him, 0:22:16.320 --> 0:22:18.560 what does that tell you about where Tom Brady's level 0:22:18.640 --> 0:22:21.000 is at. Who leaves the Patriots and goes someplace and 0:22:21.119 --> 0:22:22.840 is great? I mean, who does it? Who leaves the 0:22:22.880 --> 0:22:25.960 Paynes goes up as a boy? They're really, really, really good? Now? 0:22:26.280 --> 0:22:29.000 Is some of it Brady? The way they treated each other, 0:22:29.000 --> 0:22:31.280 the acrimony between Brady and the Patriots, So maybe it 0:22:31.320 --> 0:22:33.320 was hastened a little bit. Yeah, I get that, and 0:22:33.359 --> 0:22:35.280 I think that's a part of it. But you know, 0:22:35.320 --> 0:22:37.880 when you're that old, you want to keep the game going. 0:22:38.440 --> 0:22:40.720 You're not gonna have your pick. It's not like you know, 0:22:40.720 --> 0:22:42.560 when you're forty two forty three, it's who wants to 0:22:42.600 --> 0:22:44.440 pay me? You know, some guys get to that point 0:22:44.440 --> 0:22:46.680 earlier in their careers. If you're a thirty one year 0:22:46.680 --> 0:22:48.320 old running back that's got a lot of tread on 0:22:48.359 --> 0:22:50.399 their tires, well, I want to keep playing. Well, you 0:22:50.400 --> 0:22:52.720 can take this two year, five million dollar deal or 0:22:52.800 --> 0:22:55.280 not play well. I'll take a two year, five million 0:22:55.280 --> 0:22:57.800 dollar deal from the Jaguars or whoever it's going to be. Boy, 0:22:57.800 --> 0:22:59.520 I would like to play for the like to play 0:22:59.560 --> 0:23:01.160 for the steal was like playing for the Cowboys. Well 0:23:01.160 --> 0:23:03.479 that's not happening. They don't want you. You don't have 0:23:03.520 --> 0:23:05.720 the leverage in this. And Brady really didn't have the 0:23:05.800 --> 0:23:07.960 leverage because what he's trying to do is just keep 0:23:08.000 --> 0:23:10.520 the game going when he's forty two, forty three years old, 0:23:10.520 --> 0:23:13.000 seeing if he can have a Peyton Manning type end 0:23:13.000 --> 0:23:17.920 of his career like when Manning joined Denver. Yeah, Brady 0:23:18.640 --> 0:23:22.600 is trying to do his own thing and and most 0:23:22.600 --> 0:23:25.840 people just look at it as and people might not 0:23:25.960 --> 0:23:29.040 want to hear it, but it is. It was as 0:23:29.040 --> 0:23:32.840 an ego thing, a money grab. If Tom Brady was 0:23:32.880 --> 0:23:36.520 really confident in his ability, what would be the problem 0:23:36.600 --> 0:23:39.800 with taking a year, right, and then the next year 0:23:39.840 --> 0:23:42.920 would be a team option? Right? If you're still that guy, 0:23:43.560 --> 0:23:47.439 and you're right, the Patriots have already it was twenty years. 0:23:48.040 --> 0:23:50.679 You're telling me and Bob Kraft old tom Brady's like 0:23:50.680 --> 0:23:53.639 a son. If Bob Kraft really wanted Tom Brady to 0:23:53.840 --> 0:23:56.679 only wear the Patriots uniform and only stick around, what 0:23:56.760 --> 0:23:58.720 would they have done. They would have made it work. 0:23:58.960 --> 0:24:00.800 They would have paid the money. Right, the guy was 0:24:00.840 --> 0:24:04.399 there for twenty years, you won six championships. It reminds 0:24:04.440 --> 0:24:08.960 me of Michael Jordan's last two years. Michael Jordan wanted 0:24:09.000 --> 0:24:12.240 to stay in Chicago. He told the Bulls ownership, right, 0:24:13.000 --> 0:24:16.760 it's very if you guys bring Phil back, I'm interested 0:24:16.760 --> 0:24:19.080 in coming back. What was the first thing they did, 0:24:19.160 --> 0:24:23.840 Jason Phils not? They announced Phils not coming back. So basically, 0:24:23.840 --> 0:24:26.080 you told Michael Jordan, we don't want you back either. 0:24:26.359 --> 0:24:29.399 That's what they said. So what did he do? He 0:24:29.440 --> 0:24:33.280 went to the awful Washington Wizards, and he played fine 0:24:34.040 --> 0:24:36.240 when more than half of the teams in the NBA, 0:24:36.359 --> 0:24:40.080 sixteen out of thirty make the playoffs. Michael Jordan could 0:24:40.160 --> 0:24:43.560 not make the playoffs in both seasons in Washington. I 0:24:43.640 --> 0:24:46.480 know everybody got Tom Brady penciled in for the Super 0:24:46.480 --> 0:24:49.080 Bowl and all that. You could wind up having the 0:24:49.200 --> 0:24:52.400 same thing. This could wind up being disastrous. This could 0:24:52.440 --> 0:24:55.640 wind up being Michael Jordan all over again. This could 0:24:55.680 --> 0:24:59.639 be Willie Mays tripping over hisself in left field for 0:24:59.680 --> 0:25:02.440 the met to nineteen seventy three. I'm dating myself. Wow, 0:25:03.160 --> 0:25:04.800 you made the first reference in the show was to 0:25:04.880 --> 0:25:06.720 the nineteen twenties. You made well, you know, I can't 0:25:06.720 --> 0:25:09.360 help I'm getting a little bit better. But you see 0:25:09.440 --> 0:25:11.560 my point. That's what it could wind up being for 0:25:11.640 --> 0:25:13.720 Tom Brady. I don't know that it's going to be 0:25:13.760 --> 0:25:16.840 that bad, but it's not going to be everything that 0:25:16.920 --> 0:25:20.080 they expected to be because Brady is no longer a 0:25:20.160 --> 0:25:22.960 dynamic quarterback. Now. Could the weapons help him? Sure, Chris 0:25:22.960 --> 0:25:25.480 Godwin's fantastic, so is Mike Evans. They had a really 0:25:25.520 --> 0:25:28.840 good defense. You know, they can compete. But to think 0:25:28.880 --> 0:25:31.320 Brady's gonna suddenly hit the fountain of youth, I mean, 0:25:31.359 --> 0:25:33.639 that's not going to happen. I mean for Peyton Manning, 0:25:33.880 --> 0:25:36.960 the biggest thing he did was going to Denver because 0:25:36.960 --> 0:25:39.680 what happens in that thin air you get ten more 0:25:39.760 --> 0:25:42.520 yards on your fastball. And that's one thing that people 0:25:42.600 --> 0:25:45.440 forgot to take and considerate. Boy Peyton Manning, suddenly he 0:25:45.480 --> 0:25:47.640 is back. He's always been great. No, you saw Peyton 0:25:47.680 --> 0:25:49.520 Manning those last couple of years. He had trouble throwing 0:25:49.560 --> 0:25:52.320 the football, But those first couple of years when he 0:25:52.440 --> 0:25:55.400 was great, especially at home, because in that thin air 0:25:55.480 --> 0:25:58.240 that ball travels more, Your fastball goes a little bit further. 0:25:58.520 --> 0:26:01.080 He was able to slow down the kline and that's 0:26:01.080 --> 0:26:03.720 what Brady's trying to do now is slowed down the decline. 0:26:03.920 --> 0:26:07.200 And he was way younger. I mean, he wasn't forty 0:26:07.200 --> 0:26:10.400 two going on forty three either. That's the other part 0:26:10.720 --> 0:26:13.680 Payton Manning. Yes he was coming off a major injury 0:26:13.800 --> 0:26:17.080 and whatnot, but he wasn't as old as Tom Brady. 0:26:17.080 --> 0:26:18.679 And if you remember even the year he won the 0:26:18.720 --> 0:26:23.159 Super Bowl, that the final year he got bench for 0:26:23.280 --> 0:26:27.720 brock Wall, remember that he was so bad that year 0:26:28.080 --> 0:26:29.800 and even in the playoffs. I think he threw for 0:26:30.080 --> 0:26:31.960 in the Super Bowl through for like ninety or one 0:26:32.040 --> 0:26:35.159 hundred yards and had a pick and a fumble. He 0:26:35.600 --> 0:26:37.760 did not play well in no touchdown. He was not 0:26:38.240 --> 0:26:40.760 maybe one touchdown. He did not play that well in 0:26:40.840 --> 0:26:43.480 that Super Bowl. No they could. They would have won 0:26:43.560 --> 0:26:46.000 that Super Bowl with Brock Osweiler, who at that point 0:26:46.040 --> 0:26:49.040 could throw the football. I mean Manning couldn't even throw. 0:26:49.080 --> 0:26:51.520 I think they had a field goal the offense. They 0:26:51.520 --> 0:26:53.920 had a field goal their opening possession of the game. 0:26:53.960 --> 0:26:56.000 I think their field goal on their first possession of 0:26:56.000 --> 0:26:58.280 the second half. And that was it. And that's that's 0:26:58.320 --> 0:27:00.399 the points that Peyton Manning put up because they were 0:27:00.480 --> 0:27:02.800 driven by their defense. And defense made plays and sack 0:27:02.840 --> 0:27:05.920 Cam Newton got fumbles and they got turnovers and that's 0:27:05.920 --> 0:27:08.560 what really won the games for them. But you know, 0:27:08.640 --> 0:27:12.400 but Manning at the end clearly was done physically. And 0:27:12.560 --> 0:27:16.600 Brady after another year suddenly, I mean like people think 0:27:16.840 --> 0:27:19.679 he's suddenly like he's not motivated, Like he wasn't motivated 0:27:19.760 --> 0:27:21.800 last year or the Patriots. It wasn't trying his hardness 0:27:21.840 --> 0:27:23.960 now I'm pretty sure he was. I don't think Brady 0:27:24.040 --> 0:27:26.119 was taking any years off to go. Yeah, well we 0:27:26.240 --> 0:27:28.600 stink and I'm gonna go someplace next year. So this 0:27:28.720 --> 0:27:30.600 year is gonna be what it's gonna be now. And 0:27:30.640 --> 0:27:33.320 Brady has always been a player who has been able 0:27:33.359 --> 0:27:36.240 to elevate the level of players around him. That's why 0:27:36.280 --> 0:27:39.199 they haven't always needed great success. Now, when did he 0:27:39.280 --> 0:27:42.080 have his best success numbers wise, well, when he had 0:27:42.119 --> 0:27:44.400 Wes Welker, when he had Randy Moss and now look, 0:27:44.560 --> 0:27:47.760 Julian Edelman turned into a really terrific wide receiver, and 0:27:47.920 --> 0:27:50.520 you know what, he's had guys there. But you can't 0:27:50.600 --> 0:27:53.640 stop the fact that Brady you couldn't throw deep as 0:27:53.640 --> 0:27:56.080 well as he couldn't before. He had trouble with a 0:27:56.119 --> 0:27:58.560 little bit of accuracy. When he didn't have the offensive 0:27:58.600 --> 0:28:01.600 line keeping him up right like they did normally, Brady 0:28:01.600 --> 0:28:04.480 turned into an average quarterback. And you know Brady's always 0:28:04.480 --> 0:28:07.000 when whenever you get pressure on Brady, he turns into 0:28:07.040 --> 0:28:09.200 a different guy. He doesn't stay in and throw the football. 0:28:09.200 --> 0:28:11.320 He throws the ball low, he throws it early, he 0:28:11.400 --> 0:28:13.520 yells at his teammates. I mean, that's that's that's kind 0:28:13.520 --> 0:28:16.040 of what it's been for Brady. So I completely get 0:28:16.080 --> 0:28:18.440 that there's you know, not been a market for him. 0:28:18.480 --> 0:28:20.680 And this is where he winds up. But like I said, 0:28:20.720 --> 0:28:23.560 he did a great job control in the narrative of saying, okay, 0:28:23.600 --> 0:28:27.280 like I'm picking Tampa Bay, this is it. I'm controlling everything, 0:28:27.320 --> 0:28:30.320 when really it was, oh well, there's not as much interest, 0:28:30.400 --> 0:28:34.080 so okay, what do I do from here? Yeah? There 0:28:34.119 --> 0:28:36.880 you go this Tom Brady, and it will be interesting. 0:28:36.920 --> 0:28:39.400 I know people like to go crazy. People went crazy 0:28:39.440 --> 0:28:42.400 over to Browns last year. Do you remember after they 0:28:42.440 --> 0:28:44.760 got ob j oh my god, how are you going 0:28:44.840 --> 0:28:49.240 to stop that team? You remember that? It was all 0:28:49.280 --> 0:28:51.640 it was. It was all a rave. Everybody was all 0:28:51.680 --> 0:28:54.200 about the Browns. Not only were they gonna make the playoffs, 0:28:54.240 --> 0:28:56.680 They're gonna win the Super Bowl. I remember last year? 0:28:57.240 --> 0:28:59.920 How'd that work out? Joining us now? I'm not hotlye 0:29:00.120 --> 0:29:03.320 See your NFL reporter Monday morning quarterback. It's Albert Breer. 0:29:03.400 --> 0:29:05.840 You can fall him on Twitter at Albert Breer. Albert, 0:29:05.880 --> 0:29:09.200 how's it going. I'm good. How are you guys doing good? Hey? 0:29:09.280 --> 0:29:11.520 Seeing in you know we're talking to all our guests 0:29:11.560 --> 0:29:14.760 obviously everybody everybody else right, Like I got the kids 0:29:14.800 --> 0:29:18.640 home when they went home. So lots of interesting new hurdles, 0:29:18.680 --> 0:29:22.800 but We're healthy. That's all that matters, no doubt about Albert. 0:29:22.880 --> 0:29:25.120 Are you doing schooling for your for your kids like 0:29:25.400 --> 0:29:28.320 Darren Ravelle is, he's doing kindergarten math in English with 0:29:28.360 --> 0:29:30.240 his kids. Yeah, well, I got five year olds or 0:29:30.240 --> 0:29:32.280 three year olds. My my wife's doing a lot of 0:29:32.320 --> 0:29:35.480 pre case stuff with them, which job. Yeah, whenever this 0:29:35.600 --> 0:29:38.120 thing's over, I can I can promise you there will 0:29:38.160 --> 0:29:40.840 be no There'll be no home school and going forward here, 0:29:40.840 --> 0:29:45.760 I think they're going to school. We've got a pretty 0:29:45.760 --> 0:29:50.560 good appreciation what teachers do after that. All right, So 0:29:50.680 --> 0:29:54.200 we're talking about the situation with Brady. The story yesterday 0:29:54.280 --> 0:29:56.600 Jason Light saying that Brady made a sales pitch to 0:29:56.680 --> 0:29:59.560 join the team. I think that this has been a 0:29:59.600 --> 0:30:02.800 great job of Brady controlling the narrative the past few months. 0:30:02.920 --> 0:30:05.600 Is to you know, what the market really, you know, 0:30:05.800 --> 0:30:07.960 was for him? Is he making this free agent decision? 0:30:08.680 --> 0:30:11.000 What was the you know, and everybody you've talked to 0:30:11.040 --> 0:30:13.400 and seen, what was the market for Brady when it 0:30:13.440 --> 0:30:14.840 came down to, all right, he's a free agent now 0:30:14.840 --> 0:30:17.600 anybody can get him. Yeah, I mean I similar team, 0:30:17.680 --> 0:30:19.560 A lot of teams discussed it, you know, like the 0:30:19.680 --> 0:30:22.440 Niners internally discussed it because word had gotten to them 0:30:22.480 --> 0:30:26.640 the Brady wanted to go there. The Titans internally discussed 0:30:26.640 --> 0:30:29.040 it because Ryan Tannehill was going to be a free agent. 0:30:29.160 --> 0:30:31.760 So there were a number of teams that sort of 0:30:31.760 --> 0:30:34.000 had one foot in, one foot out and sort of 0:30:34.000 --> 0:30:35.720 looked at it and said, okay, well, if we can 0:30:35.800 --> 0:30:39.480 maximize this asset, then this falls in place, that falls 0:30:39.480 --> 0:30:42.480 into place, then maybe, like you know, for the Titans, 0:30:42.480 --> 0:30:46.680 it was if you know, the contract negotiations go out 0:30:46.760 --> 0:30:50.600 the rails and Tannehill's people are unreasonable, Um, you know, 0:30:50.640 --> 0:30:52.520 then we've got an option there. I think for the 0:30:52.640 --> 0:30:55.800 Niners it was if someone wants to come and blow 0:30:55.880 --> 0:30:59.760 us away with some offer for Jimmy garopswoll um, you know, 0:31:00.000 --> 0:31:02.360 and you know, then we listened, you know, But there 0:31:02.400 --> 0:31:05.000 weren't I don't think as many teams as as pretty 0:31:05.080 --> 0:31:09.600 probably himself anticipated that we're all in. And really in 0:31:09.640 --> 0:31:11.680 the end, it was two teams that were all the 0:31:11.720 --> 0:31:14.120 way in, and that was the Box and the Chargers, 0:31:14.120 --> 0:31:17.040 And so I mean, look like, you know, both those 0:31:17.080 --> 0:31:20.240 teams had had pretty good conditions for him. Both those 0:31:20.240 --> 0:31:22.960 teams were willing to meet um a list of sort 0:31:23.000 --> 0:31:26.520 of conditions that he set out, and so you know, 0:31:26.600 --> 0:31:28.920 I know it's a little joint for everybody to Imatchine 0:31:28.960 --> 0:31:31.000 tom Brady's the Tampa Bay Bucking Year. But you know 0:31:31.000 --> 0:31:34.360 the truth is the very end, his options were fairly limited. 0:31:34.640 --> 0:31:38.080 And what was the turn off for people Albert It 0:31:38.200 --> 0:31:42.880 was it a diminishing skills which we saw last year, 0:31:43.080 --> 0:31:45.440 or was it be the idea that here's a guy 0:31:46.120 --> 0:31:49.760 at forty three who also is trying to get people 0:31:49.800 --> 0:31:53.600 to pay uh, you know, the two years instead of 0:31:53.600 --> 0:31:56.280 like what Philip Rivers took, which was one year, and 0:31:56.320 --> 0:31:59.240 we see what happens after that. Well, let me let 0:31:59.280 --> 0:32:01.560 me give you I'll give you a really good example. Now, 0:32:01.560 --> 0:32:04.440 the Colts weren't in this at all, right, um, and 0:32:04.520 --> 0:32:07.200 really the reason why the Colts weren't in this at all, 0:32:07.880 --> 0:32:10.040 uh you know, Chris Ballard, Frank Reich, they liked what 0:32:10.080 --> 0:32:13.160 they've built there the last three years and they sort 0:32:13.200 --> 0:32:15.080 of looked at it and they said, okay, Like so 0:32:15.440 --> 0:32:17.920 we dealt with him. It was super unexpected last year 0:32:18.000 --> 0:32:21.480 the retirement and Andrew Luck and we got you know, 0:32:21.600 --> 0:32:24.840 average quarterback play out of Jacoby Brissette, which you know, 0:32:25.000 --> 0:32:29.120 I considering the circumstances, wasn't bad. Um, you know, so 0:32:29.520 --> 0:32:31.600 we really like what we've built here, and we want 0:32:31.600 --> 0:32:34.520 to keep the train in the tracks. And you know, 0:32:34.560 --> 0:32:37.560 Philip Rivers for all of his you know, for the 0:32:37.600 --> 0:32:40.000 age and the other issues that that that he had 0:32:40.080 --> 0:32:44.640 last year, Frank Reich knows him. Mix Sirianni, their offensive 0:32:44.640 --> 0:32:47.840 coordinator knows him. So Frank Reich offered them a chance 0:32:47.920 --> 0:32:49.800 to keep the train on the tracks. And the reason 0:32:49.800 --> 0:32:53.280 I'm bringing up that example is because Brady in certain 0:32:53.320 --> 0:32:56.239 ways forces you to blow a lot of things up. 0:32:56.240 --> 0:32:58.320 And that's what the Colts weren't weren't willing to do. 0:32:58.720 --> 0:33:00.440 That's what you know, what take a lot of the 0:33:00.520 --> 0:33:03.320 Niners to do. That's what you know, the Pagans didn't 0:33:03.320 --> 0:33:06.520 really want to do. Where you know, okay, like Brady's 0:33:06.560 --> 0:33:09.560 coming in now, kind of meld your offense to what 0:33:09.600 --> 0:33:12.240 he does, well, you're going to blow up, you know, 0:33:12.280 --> 0:33:14.840 the timeline for your organization and say we're in a 0:33:14.840 --> 0:33:18.120 two year window now. There were just lots of things 0:33:18.200 --> 0:33:19.880 that I think, you know, kind of are part and 0:33:19.960 --> 0:33:24.080 parcels to signing a quarterback that old beyond just you know, 0:33:24.120 --> 0:33:27.520 the idea that you're in uncharted territory, which is true too, 0:33:27.920 --> 0:33:29.920 but you really had to kind of I mean, this 0:33:30.000 --> 0:33:32.720 is given than even Kate Manning in twenty and twelve. 0:33:33.240 --> 0:33:36.800 Is Peyton Manning that year was was going into you know, 0:33:36.800 --> 0:33:39.640 a season in which he'd be thirty six years old. Um, 0:33:39.720 --> 0:33:42.320 this is more you're looking at it and you're saying, 0:33:42.400 --> 0:33:44.360 even if you thought he could still really play, right 0:33:44.400 --> 0:33:46.520 like you're looking at and you're saying, we've got to 0:33:46.600 --> 0:33:49.840 sort of blow up we are offensively and you know, 0:33:49.960 --> 0:33:52.160 meld up what we do to what Tom Brady does. 0:33:52.160 --> 0:33:55.400 And beyond just that, we've got to blow up our 0:33:55.440 --> 0:33:57.360 timeline and we've got to go all into the next 0:33:57.360 --> 0:33:59.440 couple of years. And if you sort of look at 0:33:59.480 --> 0:34:02.480 those conditions and guys, you can start eliminating a lot 0:34:02.480 --> 0:34:04.400 of teams because a lot of teams weren't willing to 0:34:04.440 --> 0:34:07.680 do that Albert. As far as the Patriots go, Matthew 0:34:07.680 --> 0:34:09.719 Slay and one of the team captains, said yesterday that 0:34:09.760 --> 0:34:12.480 the standards don't change for the Patriots and what they 0:34:12.560 --> 0:34:15.400 expect to accomplish this year. Now, certainly this is a 0:34:15.440 --> 0:34:17.759 team that that you know needs a rebuild, a bit 0:34:17.760 --> 0:34:19.960 of a Rebel even though they won twelve games last year. 0:34:20.280 --> 0:34:23.000 What's the realistic expectations for them this year as far 0:34:23.000 --> 0:34:25.279 as on the field what they can do well. They're 0:34:25.280 --> 0:34:27.440 certainly going to reset, and you know, like they've been, 0:34:27.480 --> 0:34:29.360 they've been an older team the last couple of years. 0:34:29.360 --> 0:34:32.960 You know, there were people in that organization that really 0:34:33.000 --> 0:34:35.319 sort of felt like they needed to blow the thing 0:34:35.360 --> 0:34:38.480 up after twenty eighteen because they've gotten older in so 0:34:38.520 --> 0:34:42.320 many spots, and because they won it all, I think, 0:34:42.360 --> 0:34:44.200 you know, they sort of felt an obligation to let 0:34:44.239 --> 0:34:46.239 those guys run it back one more time and see 0:34:46.239 --> 0:34:48.800 if they could win another championship with the group on hand. 0:34:49.239 --> 0:34:51.440 But the result is they got really really old. And 0:34:51.480 --> 0:34:54.600 so now you know, the other they've got the salary 0:34:54.640 --> 0:34:58.680 cap issues, and they've got you know, sort of you know, 0:34:58.719 --> 0:35:00.880 they're in a position now that they were in you know, 0:35:00.880 --> 0:35:03.720 i'd say, oh eighth nine twenty ten when they started 0:35:03.719 --> 0:35:06.400 to move on from guys like Rodney Harrison and Tailaw 0:35:06.520 --> 0:35:10.360 and Mike Rabel and um, you know Teddy Bruski, you 0:35:10.400 --> 0:35:13.000 know Troy Brown. Um, they're sort of in that spot 0:35:13.080 --> 0:35:16.160 right now. The difference is that, you know, back then 0:35:16.200 --> 0:35:18.319 they had Tom Brady and his prime, and he could 0:35:18.320 --> 0:35:20.080 sort of make up for a lot of the things 0:35:20.080 --> 0:35:22.719 that they were sort of doing around him. You know, 0:35:22.800 --> 0:35:24.879 now they're they're going to go through the same sort 0:35:24.920 --> 0:35:27.160 of process where they're going to clean out their finances 0:35:27.640 --> 0:35:29.520 and they're going to look to go into twenty twenty 0:35:29.560 --> 0:35:33.200 one was sort of you know, I like an entirely 0:35:33.280 --> 0:35:36.600 different like looking team that's gonna be younger, that's going 0:35:36.640 --> 0:35:39.120 to be cheaper, that's going to be more efficient financially. 0:35:40.160 --> 0:35:42.080 You know, the question is can they ride it out 0:35:42.160 --> 0:35:45.720 the same way they did in that like nine twenty window. 0:35:46.400 --> 0:35:49.359 And you know, I just I think it's a lot 0:35:49.400 --> 0:35:52.359 to ask. Um. You know, if as Jared's did him 0:35:52.360 --> 0:35:54.080 as a quarterback, it's going to be a lot to 0:35:54.080 --> 0:35:55.839 put on the shoulders of a guy who's going into 0:35:55.880 --> 0:35:58.120 his second year. I know he's really mature, but it 0:35:58.120 --> 0:36:00.719 doesn't matter who you are, there's gonna be a lot 0:36:00.760 --> 0:36:03.359 to ask of a young guy. Um. I still think 0:36:03.360 --> 0:36:05.160 they're gonna be competitive on a week to week basis 0:36:05.200 --> 0:36:07.480 because they're that well coached and they're still some really 0:36:07.480 --> 0:36:10.560 good players in that team, Guys like Stefan Gilmore and 0:36:10.880 --> 0:36:14.439 Dante high Tower, and Julian Edelman, proud guys, Devin mccordy, 0:36:15.040 --> 0:36:17.879 Matthew Slayer. They aren't gonna let the standards slip too far. 0:36:19.160 --> 0:36:21.320 But I mean, I think they're facing an uphill climb. 0:36:21.440 --> 0:36:23.080 I mean the one thing that might you know, save 0:36:23.160 --> 0:36:25.040 them is the one thing that they've benefited from the 0:36:25.120 --> 0:36:28.080 last you know, twenty years, which is, you know, the 0:36:28.120 --> 0:36:31.839 division isn't exactly the strongest in the NFL. But real 0:36:31.920 --> 0:36:35.800 quick for me, last thing, Uh, who wins bigger sooner? 0:36:36.040 --> 0:36:38.640 Is it Brady or is it Belichick? And I just 0:36:38.760 --> 0:36:41.319 mean I'm not predicting neither one to win a super 0:36:41.360 --> 0:36:43.640 Bowl in the next couple of years because Brady's window 0:36:43.680 --> 0:36:47.480 obviously is only a couple of years. Who's going to 0:36:47.640 --> 0:36:49.840 in the next two years? Who who will look better 0:36:50.239 --> 0:36:52.640 when this is all said and done Well, Brady looked 0:36:52.640 --> 0:37:00.160 like Willie May stumbling in left field or will or Belichick, Uh, 0:37:00.320 --> 0:37:03.160 you know, keep his team going. I think we all 0:37:03.200 --> 0:37:05.320 hope he doesn't look like William Mays with the Mets 0:37:05.440 --> 0:37:08.239 or I was Jo Names with the Chargers, right some 0:37:08.920 --> 0:37:13.080 like there's that stuff. He was, Yeah, I mean I 0:37:13.520 --> 0:37:15.480 think it's gonna be Yeah, it was Johnny United as 0:37:15.520 --> 0:37:20.480 the Chargers, right, Oh, yes, yeah, that's that's that's the one. Um. Now, 0:37:20.520 --> 0:37:23.160 I like, look like I think this is probably you know, 0:37:23.239 --> 0:37:27.000 Joe Montana with the Chiefs would probably be the right comparison, 0:37:27.040 --> 0:37:30.680 which is interesting because his Brady's boyhood hero. Uh you know, 0:37:30.719 --> 0:37:33.680 Montana went went to a really really good Chiefs team 0:37:34.160 --> 0:37:35.839 and was sort of able to move into the next 0:37:35.880 --> 0:37:37.800 days of his career. I feel like that's where Brady's 0:37:37.840 --> 0:37:41.120 been for a while, like that for the last year, 0:37:41.160 --> 0:37:43.680 I would say, or so, he's been sort of, you know, 0:37:43.760 --> 0:37:45.760 now at the level where it's you know, John Elway 0:37:45.760 --> 0:37:48.000 in Denver at the very end where Elway had a 0:37:48.040 --> 0:37:50.680 great team around him and didn't need to do what 0:37:50.719 --> 0:37:52.640 he needed to do in the eighties for the Broncos 0:37:52.640 --> 0:37:56.320 to win. Rod Smith, Ed McCaffrey, Terrell Davis, Shannon Sharpe 0:37:56.600 --> 0:37:58.439 and one of the best um one of the best 0:37:58.480 --> 0:38:01.480 offensive lines in football. And so I think that I 0:38:01.920 --> 0:38:04.759 think because of the skill talent on hand, I don't 0:38:04.760 --> 0:38:07.240 think Brady is gonna just fall in his space in Tampa. 0:38:07.320 --> 0:38:10.080 I think he'll play fine. I think Tampa's gonna be 0:38:10.080 --> 0:38:12.440 pretty good. They were seven and nine last year with 0:38:12.480 --> 0:38:16.040 their quarterbacks throwing for throwing thirty interceptions and seven and 0:38:16.080 --> 0:38:18.360 seven going into the last couple of weeks of the season. 0:38:18.480 --> 0:38:20.880 So I think that Tampa team will probably be a 0:38:20.880 --> 0:38:23.240 ten eleven win team. I think Brady will look fine, 0:38:23.520 --> 0:38:24.919 and I think it's going to be interesting to see 0:38:24.920 --> 0:38:27.960 what happens with Belichick because this is obviously a real challenge. 0:38:28.360 --> 0:38:31.200 And I can tell you, guys, this, as great as 0:38:31.200 --> 0:38:34.880 Belichick's been a building teams and winning on Sunday, he 0:38:35.000 --> 0:38:38.880 always had this enormous I mean, Brady didn't create margin Freir. 0:38:39.400 --> 0:38:42.120 Brady was the margin Frere. You could miss on a 0:38:42.200 --> 0:38:45.480 receiver in the draft, you could miss on offensive lineman, 0:38:45.920 --> 0:38:49.960 you could make mistakes hiring coaches, and Brady was had 0:38:50.000 --> 0:38:53.279 a way of making up for And it's gonna be 0:38:53.320 --> 0:38:55.960 fascinating to watch the greatest coach of all time go 0:38:56.000 --> 0:38:59.759 into this scenario where that margin Freir is now eliminated. 0:39:00.440 --> 0:39:02.480 You can follow them on Twitter at Albert Brier, that 0:39:02.600 --> 0:39:05.520 is at Albert Breer, Senior NFL reporter, Monday Morning quarterback 0:39:05.520 --> 0:39:09.160 and future teacher in the United States of America.

Can't get them back to school soon enough, 0:39:16.280 --> 0:39:21.279 hopefully safely too. There goes great stuff from Albert Breer. Hey, 0:39:21.480 --> 0:39:24.640 we got more NFL on the way. Could the big 0:39:24.680 --> 0:39:28.279 free agents your team signed wind up not playing for 0:39:28.400 --> 0:39:31.799 your team after the draft? Oh? Potentially? Maybe not, that's 0:39:31.800 --> 0:39:33.879 coming up next. Keep it right here. Jason Smith, Rob 0:39:33.920 --> 0:39:35.960 Parker in for Dan and the Dan Netts.

Thanks to Albert 0:39:56.400 --> 0:39:58.399 Breer for stopping buy a few minutes ago with us 0:39:58.400 --> 0:40:01.080 and Rob. Want to throw this because this is something 0:40:01.080 --> 0:40:04.359 that Adam Schefter talked about on ESPN a few minutes ago. 0:40:06.000 --> 0:40:08.239 This is kind of fun to think that, well, or 0:40:08.320 --> 0:40:10.839 kind of weird to think that maybe the NFL free 0:40:10.840 --> 0:40:13.080 agents that your team signed over the course of the 0:40:13.080 --> 0:40:15.279 past couple of weeks may not be playing for you 0:40:15.400 --> 0:40:20.239 after the draft. As because many free agents agreed to 0:40:20.320 --> 0:40:24.240 contracts but have been unable to actually sign them. So 0:40:25.080 --> 0:40:28.320 after the draft is over, if a team that needed 0:40:28.360 --> 0:40:32.680 a wide receiver or a shutdown cornerback or a edge 0:40:32.760 --> 0:40:37.240 rusher feels like they have addressed that position in the draft, 0:40:37.280 --> 0:40:40.400 they could conceivably pull the offers to these free agents 0:40:40.400 --> 0:40:41.680 and move on and all right, you know, well, we 0:40:41.719 --> 0:40:44.040 don't have to spend eight million a year on this 0:40:44.080 --> 0:40:46.000 guy because we were able to get this guy in 0:40:46.040 --> 0:40:47.600 the draft. We didn't know that we could get him, 0:40:47.640 --> 0:40:50.799 And potentially these guys may be looking for work and 0:40:50.880 --> 0:40:53.560 teams could back out of their agreements. Now I don't 0:40:53.600 --> 0:40:56.560 know how realistic that is, but in a year where 0:40:56.960 --> 0:40:58.759 you know, who knows how things are gonna go, we're 0:40:58.800 --> 0:41:02.360 living something new every day. I can't dismiss that I 0:41:02.400 --> 0:41:07.399 thought we saw Tom Brady sign a contract. Oh well, 0:41:07.400 --> 0:41:09.359 not all of them. Not well, not all of them 0:41:09.360 --> 0:41:12.719 had the real fancy way, because maybe Tampa Bay might 0:41:12.760 --> 0:41:15.359 pull out when they realized what they've done and they 0:41:15.480 --> 0:41:18.279 paid the bad team tax of an extra twenty five 0:41:18.320 --> 0:41:20.600 and they you know, Tom Brady was the guy who 0:41:20.600 --> 0:41:23.280 had the dad Bob before he even had any kids, 0:41:23.320 --> 0:41:26.120 so you know they might just decide, wait a minute, 0:41:26.120 --> 0:41:28.600 what were we thinking, No wonder he did such a 0:41:28.640 --> 0:41:32.400 cell job on us trying to get us. We got bamboozle, 0:41:32.480 --> 0:41:36.200 we got snookeerd, we got the hot hoodwinked. Wow. So, 0:41:36.320 --> 0:41:38.160 after a month to think about it, Wait a minute, 0:41:38.160 --> 0:41:39.480 do we really want to do that? We're gonna go 0:41:39.520 --> 0:41:42.879 back on this free agent acquisition of Tom Brady. Tom. Sorry, Yeah, 0:41:42.920 --> 0:41:45.520 we were really excited, but yeah, we're not doing that 0:41:45.560 --> 0:41:48.080 now because we drafted Jalen Hurts and we're just gonna 0:41:48.080 --> 0:41:50.360 put him in and let him play. And we realized 0:41:50.520 --> 0:41:54.560 after everything was over that nobody else wanted you. We 0:41:54.560 --> 0:41:57.359 were thinking, my god, we thought that we won some 0:41:57.400 --> 0:42:01.000 sort of bidding war, and we realized nobody wanted you, 0:42:01.160 --> 0:42:04.440 and the charges only wanted you to sell tickets. So 0:42:04.520 --> 0:42:06.960 you mean to tell me we're the only ones believing 0:42:07.000 --> 0:42:10.399 that Tom Brady can make a difference. Just think about that. 0:42:10.640 --> 0:42:13.359 It wasn't like they were in quarterback openings. They were 0:42:13.400 --> 0:42:15.759 all over the play. Yeah, but nobody wanted Brad. You'll look, 0:42:16.120 --> 0:42:20.640 Teddy Bridgewater will going to Carolina first. Yeah, right, this 0:42:20.800 --> 0:42:24.880 is Look, there's always gonna be buyer's remorse for teams 0:42:24.880 --> 0:42:27.640 with free agents in the NFL. But you could we 0:42:27.680 --> 0:42:29.719 could tell. You could tell the bad deals right when 0:42:29.719 --> 0:42:32.560 they happened, going, who are they bidding against for this? Well? 0:42:32.560 --> 0:42:34.600 This is this is the you know, and there's also 0:42:34.680 --> 0:42:36.719 the flip side of it, as boy, nobody really went 0:42:36.719 --> 0:42:38.919 in on this guy who who was pretty good last 0:42:39.000 --> 0:42:41.680 year and was, you know, the third best slot corner 0:42:41.719 --> 0:42:44.040 in the game, and the way he was great, he 0:42:44.080 --> 0:42:46.040 didn't get a big contract. You know, there's those, but 0:42:46.360 --> 0:42:48.640 the ones where you say, oh, they didn't have to 0:42:48.640 --> 0:42:50.600 give him that kind of money. I mean that that's apparent, 0:42:50.640 --> 0:42:53.120 you know, Robbie Anderson. I mean, really, he was out 0:42:53.120 --> 0:42:54.640 there forever. I had to give him two years and 0:42:54.640 --> 0:42:57.040 twenty million dollars. Carolina. I mean, I get you wanted 0:42:57.040 --> 0:42:59.640 to have somebody for Teddy Bridgewater, but man, I don't 0:42:59.680 --> 0:43:02.000 think anybody figured they had to give him that kind 0:43:02.040 --> 0:43:03.600 of money. I mean, you could tell those bad deals 0:43:03.640 --> 0:43:06.640 right away. You can, and it'll be interestant. I know 0:43:06.680 --> 0:43:10.160 Albert already has Brady and him in the NFC Championship 0:43:10.200 --> 0:43:12.399 Game and all that. I'm not buying into that. I'm 0:43:12.440 --> 0:43:16.080 the guy who's saying that Tampa Bay will not an 0:43:16.160 --> 0:43:19.359 ot make the playoffs with Tom Brady Twitter at, how 0:43:19.400 --> 0:43:22.880 about a Fresco rob at Rob Parker FS one, Jason Smith, 0:43:22.960 --> 0:43:25.640 Rob Parker in for Dan and the Dan Netts.
