Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Speaker 1: Sports Radio. They call it social distancing, a concept that
Speaker 1: some members of The Dan Patrick Show have been practicing
Speaker 1: for years. I remember this girl going gross get away
Speaker 1: from me. Some members of the show struggle giving people
Speaker 1: personal space. I think we all need to hug as
Speaker 1: often as possible and break after the show before the show.
Speaker 1: Never with you ever, but with recent events, it's important
Speaker 1: to remember that The Dan Patrick Show is available with
Speaker 1: no human interaction, none, no no. So listen on your radio,
Speaker 1: via podcast or even YouTube dot com slash. The Dan
Speaker 1: Patrick Show a safe place to go. So welcome to
Speaker 1: the Dan Patrick Show, temporarily working from home or the studio. Basically,
Speaker 1: what I'm saying is, Dan Patrick is off today broadcasting
Speaker 1: from the Mercedes Studios in Los Angeles. In for Dan Patrick. Hey,
Speaker 1: I want to thank you guys for filling into the
Speaker 1: reaction has been great. Is Jason Smith and Rob Parker.
Speaker 1: It is our two of the Dan Patrick Show here
Speaker 1: at Fox Sports Radio. Jason Smith and Rob Parker in
Speaker 1: for Dan and the Danettes. They are off this week,
Speaker 1: a planned week off. They'll be back next week, ready
Speaker 1: to go. And Rob a couple of big NBA stories
Speaker 1: here to start the second hour of the show. As
Speaker 1: we happy Tuesday, We got Albert Brier coming up later
Speaker 1: on this hour to talk all the latest news in
Speaker 1: the National Football League. But one bit of news that's
Speaker 1: new coming in and one that I want to get
Speaker 1: into with to debate with you a bit on the
Speaker 1: Chinese Basketball Association was set to try to return. As
Speaker 1: you know, China has been through the worst of the
Speaker 1: coronavirus cases are on their way back down, and as
Speaker 1: we see across the globe, what's going on seeing Okay,
Speaker 1: these these big hot spots, you know, China especially, they've
Speaker 1: been through the worst and now they're on their way
Speaker 1: back down and they're looking to get back to normal life.
Speaker 1: And the professional basketball was set to come back in China,
Speaker 1: but the restart of the season is being postponed due
Speaker 1: to the asymptomatic cases, which are people who carry coronavirus
Speaker 1: don't show any symptoms and could still pass it along
Speaker 1: to people. So the big restart of the season is
Speaker 1: going to be a postponement there. And you can say, okay,
Speaker 1: this is Chinese basketball, but what does that have to
Speaker 1: do with with United States in the NBA and That's
Speaker 1: the thing that I think people aren't taking as much
Speaker 1: into account for Rob as that when we want, we're
Speaker 1: gonna want to get back to normal as soon as possible.
Speaker 1: Right this quarantine life that we're all living, we're all
Speaker 1: doing our best. Look, you know, I'm streaming everything I
Speaker 1: can on Netflix. It's a you know, Netflix is getting
Speaker 1: a workout in miles I'm sure in your house as well.
Speaker 1: And everybody's trying to do what they can. We're two
Speaker 1: weeks into this. When you think of what we still
Speaker 1: have to go through, you know, we'll get, we'll get
Speaker 1: We'll get into this new schedule eventually and and find
Speaker 1: and be okay with it and the new norm and
Speaker 1: figure when we go out and get groceries we stay home,
Speaker 1: how we can go outside in social distance and still
Speaker 1: you know, not go crazy. But we're gonna want to
Speaker 1: get back to normal sooner rather than later. And there's
Speaker 1: gonna be a big push to say, okay, no, everything
Speaker 1: is fine, everything is fine. But the players are gonna
Speaker 1: raise their hand and go okay, so we're okay to
Speaker 1: come back without fans because it's dangerous for the fans.
Speaker 1: But what about us who were banging every night and
Speaker 1: we're exchanging droplets and you know, sweat on each other.
Speaker 1: It's it's okay for us, but it's not okay for
Speaker 1: the fans. And I think that's kind of what Lebron
Speaker 1: was trying to say on the Richard Jefferson podcast on
Speaker 1: Friday night, was saying, Hey, there's no NBA without the fans.
Speaker 1: We do X, Y and Z. And what am I
Speaker 1: gonna do if there's a loose ball and I'm going
Speaker 1: for it with a guy that I know had coronavirus?
Speaker 1: Am I gonna go after it as hard as I should?
Speaker 1: Am I gonna getting as close to him as I
Speaker 1: need to. I think he was trying to throw it
Speaker 1: out there that it's because you're gonna want to come back.
Speaker 1: We all want to come back. We're not coming back
Speaker 1: if there's still a kind of danger out there for
Speaker 1: us to spread this. We want to make sure this
Speaker 1: coronavirus goes away. And if the Chinese Basketball League, which
Speaker 1: is trying to come back, says waiting, there's still too
Speaker 1: many asymptomatic cases. We don't want this to get a
Speaker 1: fresh round in our country. I think that's what we
Speaker 1: need to look at in the NBA and the NHL
Speaker 1: and MLS and all the other sports as well. Is that, Okay,
Speaker 1: when we are past the worst of it and we're
Speaker 1: trying to get back to normal, they're still going to
Speaker 1: be that Is it still really one hundred percent safe
Speaker 1: for players to come back? Because if it's not safe
Speaker 1: for fans to come back, how is it safe for players?
Speaker 1: And I think you're going to get a pushback from
Speaker 1: the players and we're not going to be able to say, Okay,
Speaker 1: we're back, let's start. I think it may be postponed
Speaker 1: further because of that. Well, I agree, and I think
Speaker 1: that's what Van Gundy was saying. And ultimately they can
Speaker 1: talk about all the things they want to try and
Speaker 1: you know, no fans and some sort of isolated site
Speaker 1: so that at least you could televise games and all that.
Speaker 1: But there's too many people that have to be involved
Speaker 1: in order for this to go on. Referees, right, the
Speaker 1: people who run the clocks and the statistics, the ball boys.
Speaker 1: It's not just twelve guys from each team and a
Speaker 1: couple of coaches, do you know what I mean? This
Speaker 1: staff that has to be evolved involved in this. What
Speaker 1: about the writers? Are they covering the games, or writers
Speaker 1: covering the games or no. I mean, so the press
Speaker 1: has to be there. There's just so many ways that
Speaker 1: guys could still wind up with that, you know, with
Speaker 1: the virus passing around. And I think you're right if
Speaker 1: it's not safe enough to bring the fans back, I don't.
Speaker 1: I think that tells you it's not safe enough for
Speaker 1: the players. They're not immune, they're not exempt. And then
Speaker 1: what happens if you find out that a staff or
Speaker 1: or a player Jason has it? Now what Now You've
Speaker 1: exposed these people, you know, these players or whatnot again
Speaker 1: into a situation and then and then you might I'd
Speaker 1: have to, you know, pull the plug again. So so
Speaker 1: there's a lot of stuff going on there. I'm not
Speaker 1: I think it's too tricky. I think it's too tricky
Speaker 1: to predict if they can come back and play. I
Speaker 1: understand why they want to play. Everybody wants them to play.
Speaker 1: This was supposed to shape up to, you know, so
Speaker 1: Lebron gonna get another championship win won in La? Are
Speaker 1: the Clippers gonna win? Is Milwaukee gonna win? There some
Speaker 1: intrigued there that people were looking forward to us we
Speaker 1: you know, close out the NBA season, but I'm not
Speaker 1: so sure we're gonna get that. You know. That's why
Speaker 1: I think Major League I always look and see what
Speaker 1: are signs that I can see someplace else in the world,
Speaker 1: or that's gonna tell us, Okay, this is what we're
Speaker 1: gonna experience because the unknown is scary, right. We don't
Speaker 1: know what's next. And every day we wake up and
Speaker 1: do the same thing. We get online, we check what's
Speaker 1: what's the latest, what's happening now? Or things better? Are
Speaker 1: they worse? And you know, I always look and say, Okay,
Speaker 1: what's a sign that can tell me this is what's
Speaker 1: gonna be next for us? And I see this, and
Speaker 1: I say, this is what's next for us when it
Speaker 1: comes to sports and and the NBA returning, Look at
Speaker 1: what China is doing the asymptomatic cases. We are postponing.
Speaker 1: And that's going to be what the NBA is going
Speaker 1: to have to do because even when they want to return, Okay,
Speaker 1: well now we have this, we got to make sure
Speaker 1: that that everything is gone before and there's no danger
Speaker 1: before we come back to play. That's why I feel
Speaker 1: like Major League Baseball's got it right. You know, when
Speaker 1: they put out that statement late last week saying, here's
Speaker 1: here's the we outline our probabilities for return. We want
Speaker 1: to make sure there's no travel restrictions between the United
Speaker 1: States and Canada. We want to make sure that there's
Speaker 1: no danger in social gathering, which means that fans can come,
Speaker 1: and if fans can come, that means the players can
Speaker 1: be there, and that there's no danger to the players
Speaker 1: in competing. And that's what was agreed upon. And I
Speaker 1: think that's what every professional sports league is going to
Speaker 1: agree upon. Okay, no travel restrictions, the players are all safe,
Speaker 1: and when the fans can come back, we all come back.
Speaker 1: And that that's how it's gonna wind up being. And
Speaker 1: I think you're gonna see a lot of a lot
Speaker 1: of leagues adopt that as the boilerplate of their agreement.
Speaker 1: Here's what we need for when we return. And if
Speaker 1: you need all of those things to return, I mean,
Speaker 1: you know, look, it's it's not it's not it's not May,
Speaker 1: middle of May, June. This is how much into the
Speaker 1: summer are we are? We at the point where a
Speaker 1: variable enters and when the weather warms up. In the
Speaker 1: coronavirus cases, disappear dramatically and suddenly, then we can really
Speaker 1: heal and and get healthier at a geometric rate. I mean,
Speaker 1: that's what I think. You have to look at it
Speaker 1: and hope that that's where we're at. But seeing this
Speaker 1: being the the boilerplate for a return, I mean, this
Speaker 1: means it's gonna it's still gonna be as as long
Speaker 1: as you think it's gonna be. It's gonna be longer
Speaker 1: than that. It's hard for me to disagree. I mean,
Speaker 1: I'm right, I'm right, Rob. I mean, that's the thing.
Speaker 1: You know, it's not often that you're right on these things.
Speaker 1: You know, we fill them and do shows together, and
Speaker 1: me and you butt heads because you know you're off
Speaker 1: the wall. But but it's hard for me to argue
Speaker 1: with that. It would be great for me to sit
Speaker 1: here and say, oh, no, everything will be straightened out
Speaker 1: in six weeks or a month and a month or whatever.
Speaker 1: Just doesn't look like that. And you and you're right
Speaker 1: with what Baseball put out um and the NBA, and
Speaker 1: I give the NBA credit. As soon as a player
Speaker 1: was found positive, it was they shut everything down and
Speaker 1: what like they should have h and now it's it's
Speaker 1: a difficult spot to be in all these commissioners and
Speaker 1: you know, Kirk Kirk curb Street from ESPN said he
Speaker 1: thinks that the college football and NFL season won't be played.
Speaker 1: I mean, Jason, when you hear that, I mean that
Speaker 1: means we're in for this for months, right, Like, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, I think it's a little too early to say, Okay,
Speaker 1: once you get to September, are we there? You know?
Speaker 1: And look, can I see some preseason games, uh, you know,
Speaker 1: get knocked off this year? Because yeah, I could see that,
Speaker 1: because I could see training camp starting late. Could I
Speaker 1: even see maybe a twelve game season this year if
Speaker 1: it if it worse comes to worse and you're talking
Speaker 1: about playing the beginning of October. Yeah, but I still
Speaker 1: think the NFL is gonna wind up playing and they're
Speaker 1: gonna have close to a full season as long as
Speaker 1: things progress in the United States as they're progressing in
Speaker 1: the rest of the world. Yeah, I don't know. I
Speaker 1: don't know. Like my issue is the the the number
Speaker 1: that the that the White House put out and people
Speaker 1: are talking about the loss of two hundred thousand people
Speaker 1: in the United States. Yeah, that's not gonna happen. Next month.
Speaker 1: Do you know what I mean, that's gonna it's gonna
Speaker 1: take months to get to that number. Don't you believe
Speaker 1: to get to two hundred thousand? Yeah, it's gonna well,
Speaker 1: you know, I don't know. I mean every every day
Speaker 1: when you look at that, at the the increasing number
Speaker 1: of cases, and but I'm talking about I don't know, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I know, yeah, who knows how luck? I don't know
Speaker 1: how how far along you know people are that have it.
Speaker 1: You had hot spots like New York and and different cities,
Speaker 1: and you know in LA that's starting to become one.
Speaker 1: So I you know, it's it's it's hard for me
Speaker 1: to say when that's gonna happen. Now, would you tell
Speaker 1: another thing too? Here's the other thing in the NFL.
Speaker 1: It's it's really if the NBA is contact in your
Speaker 1: close quarters, the NFL too, you're on top of people sweat, saliva,
Speaker 1: snot whatever is flying. I mean, don't you think that
Speaker 1: that there's better chances of people playing football to contract
Speaker 1: It is almost impossible not to be in each other's
Speaker 1: private space. You're talking about staying away from people's six
Speaker 1: feet the NFL, I'm on top of you. I just
Speaker 1: tackled you. I'm we're face to face on the ground. Well,
Speaker 1: I'm sure what they'll do is this is they will
Speaker 1: have everybody take a test, and you know everyone, everyone's
Speaker 1: gonna have to pass test before they come back to play.
Speaker 1: And what's gonna happen is, Okay, we're going to training
Speaker 1: camp and everybody is testing, and this is who's around
Speaker 1: training camp, and it's just gonna be us. It's just
Speaker 1: gonna be these. However, many people, maybe they invite less
Speaker 1: people to training camp as a result, but these are
Speaker 1: the people here. There's gonna be no contact and we're
Speaker 1: gonna have training camp, you know, kind of in quarantine
Speaker 1: for that and that you're talking about another month of
Speaker 1: not being of being able to get past the other
Speaker 1: side of this. So if that's the kay, like you're
Speaker 1: also we're also talking about September. That's a lot of
Speaker 1: time between now and then. But what I can you know,
Speaker 1: you mentioned the difficulty for players in some of the danger.
Speaker 1: One thing I can see in a big way is
Speaker 1: teams that play in the hotspot cities, you know, specifically
Speaker 1: you know New York right now, which is being overrun
Speaker 1: and every day. As an update on you know what's
Speaker 1: happening with New York City. I can see there being
Speaker 1: such a concern that teams like the Jets and the
Speaker 1: Giants have to play somewhere else, have to be and
Speaker 1: and and and play their games at a at another site,
Speaker 1: almost like a like of a team is having a
Speaker 1: you know, a new stadium built and they have to
Speaker 1: play somewhere else for a year, that have to play
Speaker 1: in a different plot, except this is going to be
Speaker 1: where they play in a different location. Like could the
Speaker 1: Jets have to play out of Buffalo for a year
Speaker 1: because of it because New York City is so bad
Speaker 1: they got to play the Could they have to play
Speaker 1: someplace else, play in Washington and they split time there
Speaker 1: because of the hotspot. It's gonna take New York longer
Speaker 1: to recover some of those bigger cities that are gonna
Speaker 1: have that. That's gonna be longer. I can see them saying,
Speaker 1: you know what, we can't have the big gatherings here.
Speaker 1: We can't do this. They have to play someplace else. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean it could be the case in some of
Speaker 1: these cities. So it just depends on how many do
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? Are you also move into
Speaker 1: Chargers and the Rams out of LA do you know
Speaker 1: what I mean, It's not just New York. It would
Speaker 1: have to be a number of cities. And then how
Speaker 1: does that work with attendance and people showing up? And
Speaker 1: are we talking about games without fans in the NFL
Speaker 1: or you're talking about fans that buy September we're back
Speaker 1: to back in business. I'm talking about by the time
Speaker 1: we get to September in October, then it'll be it'll
Speaker 1: be okay to go to the games. I mean, because look,
Speaker 1: there's also going to be We talked about the push
Speaker 1: a few minutes ago about how NBA is gonna want
Speaker 1: to come back, and players are gonna say when it's
Speaker 1: says there, there's got to be a time when we say, okay,
Speaker 1: now we're gonna get back to normal. And you know this,
Speaker 1: we kind of have to move forward here in our life.
Speaker 1: We got to make that decision at some point. And
Speaker 1: as long as there's gonna be no real danger for
Speaker 1: people to come to games, then we're gonna have the
Speaker 1: game start again. You know, there's still could there be
Speaker 1: a case where a someone comes and somebody gets sick
Speaker 1: of the game. Yeah, But I mean and I don't know.
Speaker 1: I'm not a medical expert obviously, but I have to
Speaker 1: think that you know, you're never going to eradicate everything,
Speaker 1: you know, so there's always going to be cases where
Speaker 1: times where that can happen. But if for vast majority
Speaker 1: to get back to normal life and get and get
Speaker 1: the economy back going where it is, we're gonna have
Speaker 1: to make that decision at some point. And as long
Speaker 1: as it's it's it's clear for fans to go to games,
Speaker 1: then that's gonna be. That's gonna be the big final
Speaker 1: green light that goes it lets us all play. Yeah.
Speaker 1: The only thing is, and I say it is with
Speaker 1: the NBA, uh, you know, the longer you don't practice
Speaker 1: and the longer you can't train, I think that's what derails.
Speaker 1: And even in football, you know with training camp opening
Speaker 1: up up and stuff. And I think that's what Kirk
Speaker 1: is really talking about, is the other process that goes
Speaker 1: along with it. So September might be cool or getting cool,
Speaker 1: but you haven't practiced, and you haven't been together, and
Speaker 1: you haven't done the things that you need to do
Speaker 1: to play football. Do you know what I'm saying? Like
Speaker 1: that that could further delay it just because you can't
Speaker 1: get back on the field yet and we're still months away.
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't know how this thing works. This
Speaker 1: is the This is the thing I think that frustrates
Speaker 1: most people is that you can deal with stuff when
Speaker 1: you know that there's an end, Like, Okay, I can
Speaker 1: deal with this for a couple of months if I
Speaker 1: know that this will be over. That's not where we are.
Speaker 1: We just don't know that, And I think that's the
Speaker 1: part that people have a issue with. You know, like,
Speaker 1: I don't is this going to be over in two
Speaker 1: months or ten months or next year? Do we know?
Speaker 1: We don't know? Twitter out how about a Fresca rob
Speaker 1: at Rob Parker FS one Jason Smith, Rob Parker in
Speaker 1: for Dan and the Danets again. The new news just
Speaker 1: coming in the Chinese basketball season's return was postponed because
Speaker 1: of worry of asymptomatic cases. So their return got pushed
Speaker 1: back a little bit. Something I think we're going to
Speaker 1: see happen in the United States. We get to that
Speaker 1: point as well, the asymptomatic cases or something that needs
Speaker 1: to be cordoned off and taken care of before anybody
Speaker 1: in any sport wants to return so I think what
Speaker 1: we're seeing here in China as far as that return
Speaker 1: being postponed, something we're going to see in the United States.
Speaker 1: As time goes on. We'll have more on this story
Speaker 1: as it develops. We got Albert Brier coming up in
Speaker 1: a few minutes. Like all the latest news in the
Speaker 1: National Football League, the Patriots plan, post, Tom Brady and more,
Speaker 1: keep it right here, Jason Smith, Rob Parker in for
Speaker 1: Dan and the Danets Fox Sports Radio. Be sure to
Speaker 1: catch the live edition of The Dan Patrick Show weekdays
Speaker 1: at nine am Eastern six am Pacific on Fox Sports
Speaker 1: Radio and the iHeart Radio WAPP Fox Sports Radio The
Speaker 1: Dan Patrick Show. Dan the Danetts off today, have a
Speaker 1: scheduled vacation this week. They'll be back next week. Jason
Speaker 1: Smith Rob Parker in for them today, and you know,
Speaker 1: we got Albert Brier coming up in a few minutes.
Speaker 1: We'll get all the latest news on the new England
Speaker 1: Patriots and what they have going forward in this new
Speaker 1: story the past twenty four hours, Rob that Tom Brady
Speaker 1: pitched the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on joining them when free
Speaker 1: agency began. It was very surprising. Jason Light doing an
Speaker 1: interview GM of the Bucks yesterday saying that yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: well I was surprised. You know, we're on ready to
Speaker 1: pitch him, and he's the one telling us about him
Speaker 1: knowing our team and that hey, this is you know
Speaker 1: Brady wanted to come here, and you know, seeing this
Speaker 1: number one, I don't believe it at all, any anything
Speaker 1: I have seen, if I can, if I can go
Speaker 1: look at one thing with Brady over the course of
Speaker 1: the past few months is he has done a great
Speaker 1: job in controlling the narrative of what people think of
Speaker 1: him and his free agency. Everything we've gotten was from
Speaker 1: Jeff Darlington or Adam Schefter, and it was stuff that
Speaker 1: nobody else had. You know, it wasn't the Patriots talking,
Speaker 1: so you know, they were talking to Brady's people, and
Speaker 1: every story that came out about Brady was this is
Speaker 1: what the Patriots have done. Tom Brady is going to leave.
Speaker 1: You know, we never got any sense that he was
Speaker 1: going to stay. We heard about bad phone calls with
Speaker 1: him and the Patriots, a phone call that didn't go
Speaker 1: very well, and everything was very pro Brady, and I
Speaker 1: just see this is another story in an example of
Speaker 1: how Brady trying to say, oh yeah, I wanted Tampa Bay,
Speaker 1: when the reality was something we've talked about earlier in
Speaker 1: the show. How many teams really in on him, how
Speaker 1: many teams really wanted Tom Brady. I mean, there should
Speaker 1: have been the first the first day of free agency,
Speaker 1: that first minute, so many teams calling going hey, Tom,
Speaker 1: do you want to come here? What do you want?
Speaker 1: But there was none of that. It was pretty quiet,
Speaker 1: and very quickly we got down to it's just a
Speaker 1: couple of teams. It's Tampa Bay and it's the Chargers,
Speaker 1: and I want to stay on the East Coast. And okay,
Speaker 1: the only team that was gonna have me was gonna
Speaker 1: be Tampa Bay. So I want to control the narrative
Speaker 1: that I picked Tampa Bay, when in reality, do you
Speaker 1: really think that's where Brady wanted to go? I mean, way,
Speaker 1: I don't believe it. In where those ugly uniforms in
Speaker 1: the whole nine yards. This is a franchise, Jason that
Speaker 1: hasn't been in the playoffs in twelve years. This year
Speaker 1: where Brady will make it a Baker's doesn't. But we'll
Speaker 1: get to that later. But anyway, I just I think
Speaker 1: you're right, this is Brady trying to spend it. He's
Speaker 1: trying to sell itself. It's almost pathetic that he's trying to.
Speaker 1: He had to convince them that he's the perfect fit
Speaker 1: for them. It just tells you. And there was a
Speaker 1: reporter on ESPN who didn't source it or say that
Speaker 1: this is what she knew and blah blah blah, but
Speaker 1: she put out there that there wasn't a market for
Speaker 1: Brady and she was absolutely right when you look at
Speaker 1: what the Colts did, especially a franchise like that, where
Speaker 1: I thought, if I had a chance to take Brady
Speaker 1: or Philip Rivers, and I'm trying to put all my
Speaker 1: chips in the middle of the table and give myself
Speaker 1: a shot maybe this year, next year, I would take
Speaker 1: Brady over Philip Rivers. But the difference Philip Rivers got
Speaker 1: a one year contract. Brady's trying to hold people hostage
Speaker 1: for two years right at at at forty three years
Speaker 1: old starting this season. I think that's what turned most
Speaker 1: people off to Tom Brady and less not. And I
Speaker 1: think you said it earlier, Jason and his right. Despite
Speaker 1: the wins, despite the numbers or whatever, Tom Brady did
Speaker 1: not have a great year last year. You saw the signs.
Speaker 1: I don't know. You know Tom Brady's badge, Avanna was
Speaker 1: always Tom Brady does more with less than anybody else.
Speaker 1: That's what I was always told, right, and then last
Speaker 1: year was well what do you expect? He didn't have anybody?
Speaker 1: Which one is it? So I think Tampa Bay really
Speaker 1: wound up paying the bad team tax having to take
Speaker 1: on the second year. I get why the Chargers were
Speaker 1: willing to take Tom Brady, and I think along with football,
Speaker 1: the bigger part was financial. They got a brand new
Speaker 1: stadium opening in Los Angeles. Their fan base is almost
Speaker 1: non existent, and Jason, they need to sell tickets. Brady
Speaker 1: would have done a lot for that, at least in
Speaker 1: the first or second year of this new stadium, So
Speaker 1: the Charges made sense. Tampa Bay did it because they're bad.
Speaker 1: They're bad franchise have been. I don't care what the
Speaker 1: roster is. They're a bad team that hasn't won and
Speaker 1: they still have DISI have a tough competition in the
Speaker 1: division that they're in now. And that's the one lesson
Speaker 1: that I think everybody can take away from this is that,
Speaker 1: regardless as to who you are, when you are an
Speaker 1: aging superstar and you're forty two, going to be forty
Speaker 1: three years old, and your play on the field is declining.
Speaker 1: You're not going to be the person that can pick
Speaker 1: and choose where they want to go. This is not
Speaker 1: a thirty year old Tom Brady hitting free agency. It's
Speaker 1: not a twenty eight year old Kirk Cousins hitting free agency.
Speaker 1: This is a forty two year old Tom Brady, who
Speaker 1: did not have a big year last year, who the
Speaker 1: Patriots want to move on from. And if the Patriots,
Speaker 1: who know Brady more than anybody, knowing better than anybody
Speaker 1: in the world, and they've had him and they've gotten
Speaker 1: to unbridled and unaccomplished success over the course of the
Speaker 1: past twenty years, if they're ready to move on from him,
Speaker 1: what does that tell you about where Tom Brady's level
Speaker 1: is at. Who leaves the Patriots and goes someplace and
Speaker 1: is great? I mean, who does it? Who leaves the
Speaker 1: Paynes goes up as a boy? They're really, really, really good? Now?
Speaker 1: Is some of it Brady? The way they treated each other,
Speaker 1: the acrimony between Brady and the Patriots, So maybe it
Speaker 1: was hastened a little bit. Yeah, I get that, and
Speaker 1: I think that's a part of it. But you know,
Speaker 1: when you're that old, you want to keep the game going.
Speaker 1: You're not gonna have your pick. It's not like you know,
Speaker 1: when you're forty two forty three, it's who wants to
Speaker 1: pay me? You know, some guys get to that point
Speaker 1: earlier in their careers. If you're a thirty one year
Speaker 1: old running back that's got a lot of tread on
Speaker 1: their tires, well, I want to keep playing. Well, you
Speaker 1: can take this two year, five million dollar deal or
Speaker 1: not play well. I'll take a two year, five million
Speaker 1: dollar deal from the Jaguars or whoever it's going to be. Boy,
Speaker 1: I would like to play for the like to play
Speaker 1: for the steal was like playing for the Cowboys. Well
Speaker 1: that's not happening. They don't want you. You don't have
Speaker 1: the leverage in this. And Brady really didn't have the
Speaker 1: leverage because what he's trying to do is just keep
Speaker 1: the game going when he's forty two, forty three years old,
Speaker 1: seeing if he can have a Peyton Manning type end
Speaker 1: of his career like when Manning joined Denver. Yeah, Brady
Speaker 1: is trying to do his own thing and and most
Speaker 1: people just look at it as and people might not
Speaker 1: want to hear it, but it is. It was as
Speaker 1: an ego thing, a money grab. If Tom Brady was
Speaker 1: really confident in his ability, what would be the problem
Speaker 1: with taking a year, right, and then the next year
Speaker 1: would be a team option? Right? If you're still that guy,
Speaker 1: and you're right, the Patriots have already it was twenty years.
Speaker 1: You're telling me and Bob Kraft old tom Brady's like
Speaker 1: a son. If Bob Kraft really wanted Tom Brady to
Speaker 1: only wear the Patriots uniform and only stick around, what
Speaker 1: would they have done. They would have made it work.
Speaker 1: They would have paid the money. Right, the guy was
Speaker 1: there for twenty years, you won six championships. It reminds
Speaker 1: me of Michael Jordan's last two years. Michael Jordan wanted
Speaker 1: to stay in Chicago. He told the Bulls ownership, right,
Speaker 1: it's very if you guys bring Phil back, I'm interested
Speaker 1: in coming back. What was the first thing they did,
Speaker 1: Jason Phils not? They announced Phils not coming back. So basically,
Speaker 1: you told Michael Jordan, we don't want you back either.
Speaker 1: That's what they said. So what did he do? He
Speaker 1: went to the awful Washington Wizards, and he played fine
Speaker 1: when more than half of the teams in the NBA,
Speaker 1: sixteen out of thirty make the playoffs. Michael Jordan could
Speaker 1: not make the playoffs in both seasons in Washington. I
Speaker 1: know everybody got Tom Brady penciled in for the Super
Speaker 1: Bowl and all that. You could wind up having the
Speaker 1: same thing. This could wind up being disastrous. This could
Speaker 1: wind up being Michael Jordan all over again. This could
Speaker 1: be Willie Mays tripping over hisself in left field for
Speaker 1: the met to nineteen seventy three. I'm dating myself. Wow,
Speaker 1: you made the first reference in the show was to
Speaker 1: the nineteen twenties. You made well, you know, I can't
Speaker 1: help I'm getting a little bit better. But you see
Speaker 1: my point. That's what it could wind up being for
Speaker 1: Tom Brady. I don't know that it's going to be
Speaker 1: that bad, but it's not going to be everything that
Speaker 1: they expected to be because Brady is no longer a
Speaker 1: dynamic quarterback. Now. Could the weapons help him? Sure, Chris
Speaker 1: Godwin's fantastic, so is Mike Evans. They had a really
Speaker 1: good defense. You know, they can compete. But to think
Speaker 1: Brady's gonna suddenly hit the fountain of youth, I mean,
Speaker 1: that's not going to happen. I mean for Peyton Manning,
Speaker 1: the biggest thing he did was going to Denver because
Speaker 1: what happens in that thin air you get ten more
Speaker 1: yards on your fastball. And that's one thing that people
Speaker 1: forgot to take and considerate. Boy Peyton Manning, suddenly he
Speaker 1: is back. He's always been great. No, you saw Peyton
Speaker 1: Manning those last couple of years. He had trouble throwing
Speaker 1: the football, But those first couple of years when he
Speaker 1: was great, especially at home, because in that thin air
Speaker 1: that ball travels more, Your fastball goes a little bit further.
Speaker 1: He was able to slow down the kline and that's
Speaker 1: what Brady's trying to do now is slowed down the decline.
Speaker 1: And he was way younger. I mean, he wasn't forty
Speaker 1: two going on forty three either. That's the other part
Speaker 1: Payton Manning. Yes he was coming off a major injury
Speaker 1: and whatnot, but he wasn't as old as Tom Brady.
Speaker 1: And if you remember even the year he won the
Speaker 1: Super Bowl, that the final year he got bench for
Speaker 1: brock Wall, remember that he was so bad that year
Speaker 1: and even in the playoffs. I think he threw for
Speaker 1: in the Super Bowl through for like ninety or one
Speaker 1: hundred yards and had a pick and a fumble. He
Speaker 1: did not play well in no touchdown. He was not
Speaker 1: maybe one touchdown. He did not play that well in
Speaker 1: that Super Bowl. No they could. They would have won
Speaker 1: that Super Bowl with Brock Osweiler, who at that point
Speaker 1: could throw the football. I mean Manning couldn't even throw.
Speaker 1: I think they had a field goal the offense. They
Speaker 1: had a field goal their opening possession of the game.
Speaker 1: I think their field goal on their first possession of
Speaker 1: the second half. And that was it. And that's that's
Speaker 1: the points that Peyton Manning put up because they were
Speaker 1: driven by their defense. And defense made plays and sack
Speaker 1: Cam Newton got fumbles and they got turnovers and that's
Speaker 1: what really won the games for them. But you know,
Speaker 1: but Manning at the end clearly was done physically. And
Speaker 1: Brady after another year suddenly, I mean like people think
Speaker 1: he's suddenly like he's not motivated, Like he wasn't motivated
Speaker 1: last year or the Patriots. It wasn't trying his hardness
Speaker 1: now I'm pretty sure he was. I don't think Brady
Speaker 1: was taking any years off to go. Yeah, well we
Speaker 1: stink and I'm gonna go someplace next year. So this
Speaker 1: year is gonna be what it's gonna be now. And
Speaker 1: Brady has always been a player who has been able
Speaker 1: to elevate the level of players around him. That's why
Speaker 1: they haven't always needed great success. Now, when did he
Speaker 1: have his best success numbers wise, well, when he had
Speaker 1: Wes Welker, when he had Randy Moss and now look,
Speaker 1: Julian Edelman turned into a really terrific wide receiver, and
Speaker 1: you know what, he's had guys there. But you can't
Speaker 1: stop the fact that Brady you couldn't throw deep as
Speaker 1: well as he couldn't before. He had trouble with a
Speaker 1: little bit of accuracy. When he didn't have the offensive
Speaker 1: line keeping him up right like they did normally, Brady
Speaker 1: turned into an average quarterback. And you know Brady's always
Speaker 1: when whenever you get pressure on Brady, he turns into
Speaker 1: a different guy. He doesn't stay in and throw the football.
Speaker 1: He throws the ball low, he throws it early, he
Speaker 1: yells at his teammates. I mean, that's that's that's kind
Speaker 1: of what it's been for Brady. So I completely get
Speaker 1: that there's you know, not been a market for him.
Speaker 1: And this is where he winds up. But like I said,
Speaker 1: he did a great job control in the narrative of saying, okay,
Speaker 1: like I'm picking Tampa Bay, this is it. I'm controlling everything,
Speaker 1: when really it was, oh well, there's not as much interest,
Speaker 1: so okay, what do I do from here? Yeah? There
Speaker 1: you go this Tom Brady, and it will be interesting.
Speaker 1: I know people like to go crazy. People went crazy
Speaker 1: over to Browns last year. Do you remember after they
Speaker 1: got ob j oh my god, how are you going
Speaker 1: to stop that team? You remember that? It was all
Speaker 1: it was. It was all a rave. Everybody was all
Speaker 1: about the Browns. Not only were they gonna make the playoffs,
Speaker 1: They're gonna win the Super Bowl. I remember last year?
Speaker 1: How'd that work out? Joining us now? I'm not hotlye
Speaker 1: See your NFL reporter Monday morning quarterback. It's Albert Breer.
Speaker 1: You can fall him on Twitter at Albert Breer. Albert,
Speaker 1: how's it going. I'm good. How are you guys doing good? Hey?
Speaker 1: Seeing in you know we're talking to all our guests
Speaker 1: obviously everybody everybody else right, Like I got the kids
Speaker 1: home when they went home. So lots of interesting new hurdles,
Speaker 1: but We're healthy. That's all that matters, no doubt about Albert.
Speaker 1: Are you doing schooling for your for your kids like
Speaker 1: Darren Ravelle is, he's doing kindergarten math in English with
Speaker 1: his kids. Yeah, well, I got five year olds or
Speaker 1: three year olds. My my wife's doing a lot of
Speaker 1: pre case stuff with them, which job. Yeah, whenever this
Speaker 1: thing's over, I can I can promise you there will
Speaker 1: be no There'll be no home school and going forward here,
Speaker 1: I think they're going to school. We've got a pretty
Speaker 1: good appreciation what teachers do after that. All right, So
Speaker 1: we're talking about the situation with Brady. The story yesterday
Speaker 1: Jason Light saying that Brady made a sales pitch to
Speaker 1: join the team. I think that this has been a
Speaker 1: great job of Brady controlling the narrative the past few months.
Speaker 1: Is to you know, what the market really, you know,
Speaker 1: was for him? Is he making this free agent decision?
Speaker 1: What was the you know, and everybody you've talked to
Speaker 1: and seen, what was the market for Brady when it
Speaker 1: came down to, all right, he's a free agent now
Speaker 1: anybody can get him. Yeah, I mean I similar team,
Speaker 1: A lot of teams discussed it, you know, like the
Speaker 1: Niners internally discussed it because word had gotten to them
Speaker 1: the Brady wanted to go there. The Titans internally discussed
Speaker 1: it because Ryan Tannehill was going to be a free agent.
Speaker 1: So there were a number of teams that sort of
Speaker 1: had one foot in, one foot out and sort of
Speaker 1: looked at it and said, okay, well, if we can
Speaker 1: maximize this asset, then this falls in place, that falls
Speaker 1: into place, then maybe, like you know, for the Titans,
Speaker 1: it was if you know, the contract negotiations go out
Speaker 1: the rails and Tannehill's people are unreasonable, Um, you know,
Speaker 1: then we've got an option there. I think for the
Speaker 1: Niners it was if someone wants to come and blow
Speaker 1: us away with some offer for Jimmy garopswoll um, you know,
Speaker 1: and you know, then we listened, you know, But there
Speaker 1: weren't I don't think as many teams as as pretty
Speaker 1: probably himself anticipated that we're all in. And really in
Speaker 1: the end, it was two teams that were all the
Speaker 1: way in, and that was the Box and the Chargers,
Speaker 1: And so I mean, look like, you know, both those
Speaker 1: teams had had pretty good conditions for him. Both those
Speaker 1: teams were willing to meet um a list of sort
Speaker 1: of conditions that he set out, and so you know,
Speaker 1: I know it's a little joint for everybody to Imatchine
Speaker 1: tom Brady's the Tampa Bay Bucking Year. But you know
Speaker 1: the truth is the very end, his options were fairly limited.
Speaker 1: And what was the turn off for people Albert It
Speaker 1: was it a diminishing skills which we saw last year,
Speaker 1: or was it be the idea that here's a guy
Speaker 1: at forty three who also is trying to get people
Speaker 1: to pay uh, you know, the two years instead of
Speaker 1: like what Philip Rivers took, which was one year, and
Speaker 1: we see what happens after that. Well, let me let
Speaker 1: me give you I'll give you a really good example. Now,
Speaker 1: the Colts weren't in this at all, right, um, and
Speaker 1: really the reason why the Colts weren't in this at all,
Speaker 1: uh you know, Chris Ballard, Frank Reich, they liked what
Speaker 1: they've built there the last three years and they sort
Speaker 1: of looked at it and they said, okay, Like so
Speaker 1: we dealt with him. It was super unexpected last year
Speaker 1: the retirement and Andrew Luck and we got you know,
Speaker 1: average quarterback play out of Jacoby Brissette, which you know,
Speaker 1: I considering the circumstances, wasn't bad. Um, you know, so
Speaker 1: we really like what we've built here, and we want
Speaker 1: to keep the train in the tracks. And you know,
Speaker 1: Philip Rivers for all of his you know, for the
Speaker 1: age and the other issues that that that he had
Speaker 1: last year, Frank Reich knows him. Mix Sirianni, their offensive
Speaker 1: coordinator knows him. So Frank Reich offered them a chance
Speaker 1: to keep the train on the tracks. And the reason
Speaker 1: I'm bringing up that example is because Brady in certain
Speaker 1: ways forces you to blow a lot of things up.
Speaker 1: And that's what the Colts weren't weren't willing to do.
Speaker 1: That's what you know, what take a lot of the
Speaker 1: Niners to do. That's what you know, the Pagans didn't
Speaker 1: really want to do. Where you know, okay, like Brady's
Speaker 1: coming in now, kind of meld your offense to what
Speaker 1: he does, well, you're going to blow up, you know,
Speaker 1: the timeline for your organization and say we're in a
Speaker 1: two year window now. There were just lots of things
Speaker 1: that I think, you know, kind of are part and
Speaker 1: parcels to signing a quarterback that old beyond just you know,
Speaker 1: the idea that you're in uncharted territory, which is true too,
Speaker 1: but you really had to kind of I mean, this
Speaker 1: is given than even Kate Manning in twenty and twelve.
Speaker 1: Is Peyton Manning that year was was going into you know,
Speaker 1: a season in which he'd be thirty six years old. Um,
Speaker 1: this is more you're looking at it and you're saying,
Speaker 1: even if you thought he could still really play, right
Speaker 1: like you're looking at and you're saying, we've got to
Speaker 1: sort of blow up we are offensively and you know,
Speaker 1: meld up what we do to what Tom Brady does.
Speaker 1: And beyond just that, we've got to blow up our
Speaker 1: timeline and we've got to go all into the next
Speaker 1: couple of years. And if you sort of look at
Speaker 1: those conditions and guys, you can start eliminating a lot
Speaker 1: of teams because a lot of teams weren't willing to
Speaker 1: do that Albert. As far as the Patriots go, Matthew
Speaker 1: Slay and one of the team captains, said yesterday that
Speaker 1: the standards don't change for the Patriots and what they
Speaker 1: expect to accomplish this year. Now, certainly this is a
Speaker 1: team that that you know needs a rebuild, a bit
Speaker 1: of a Rebel even though they won twelve games last year.
Speaker 1: What's the realistic expectations for them this year as far
Speaker 1: as on the field what they can do well. They're
Speaker 1: certainly going to reset, and you know, like they've been,
Speaker 1: they've been an older team the last couple of years.
Speaker 1: You know, there were people in that organization that really
Speaker 1: sort of felt like they needed to blow the thing
Speaker 1: up after twenty eighteen because they've gotten older in so
Speaker 1: many spots, and because they won it all, I think,
Speaker 1: you know, they sort of felt an obligation to let
Speaker 1: those guys run it back one more time and see
Speaker 1: if they could win another championship with the group on hand.
Speaker 1: But the result is they got really really old. And
Speaker 1: so now you know, the other they've got the salary
Speaker 1: cap issues, and they've got you know, sort of you know,
Speaker 1: they're in a position now that they were in you know,
Speaker 1: i'd say, oh eighth nine twenty ten when they started
Speaker 1: to move on from guys like Rodney Harrison and Tailaw
Speaker 1: and Mike Rabel and um, you know Teddy Bruski, you
Speaker 1: know Troy Brown. Um, they're sort of in that spot
Speaker 1: right now. The difference is that, you know, back then
Speaker 1: they had Tom Brady and his prime, and he could
Speaker 1: sort of make up for a lot of the things
Speaker 1: that they were sort of doing around him. You know,
Speaker 1: now they're they're going to go through the same sort
Speaker 1: of process where they're going to clean out their finances
Speaker 1: and they're going to look to go into twenty twenty
Speaker 1: one was sort of you know, I like an entirely
Speaker 1: different like looking team that's gonna be younger, that's going
Speaker 1: to be cheaper, that's going to be more efficient financially.
Speaker 1: You know, the question is can they ride it out
Speaker 1: the same way they did in that like nine twenty window.
Speaker 1: And you know, I just I think it's a lot
Speaker 1: to ask. Um. You know, if as Jared's did him
Speaker 1: as a quarterback, it's going to be a lot to
Speaker 1: put on the shoulders of a guy who's going into
Speaker 1: his second year. I know he's really mature, but it
Speaker 1: doesn't matter who you are, there's gonna be a lot
Speaker 1: to ask of a young guy. Um. I still think
Speaker 1: they're gonna be competitive on a week to week basis
Speaker 1: because they're that well coached and they're still some really
Speaker 1: good players in that team, Guys like Stefan Gilmore and
Speaker 1: Dante high Tower, and Julian Edelman, proud guys, Devin mccordy,
Speaker 1: Matthew Slayer. They aren't gonna let the standards slip too far.
Speaker 1: But I mean, I think they're facing an uphill climb.
Speaker 1: I mean the one thing that might you know, save
Speaker 1: them is the one thing that they've benefited from the
Speaker 1: last you know, twenty years, which is, you know, the
Speaker 1: division isn't exactly the strongest in the NFL. But real
Speaker 1: quick for me, last thing, Uh, who wins bigger sooner?
Speaker 1: Is it Brady or is it Belichick? And I just
Speaker 1: mean I'm not predicting neither one to win a super
Speaker 1: Bowl in the next couple of years because Brady's window
Speaker 1: obviously is only a couple of years. Who's going to
Speaker 1: in the next two years? Who who will look better
Speaker 1: when this is all said and done Well, Brady looked
Speaker 1: like Willie May stumbling in left field or will or Belichick, Uh,
Speaker 1: you know, keep his team going. I think we all
Speaker 1: hope he doesn't look like William Mays with the Mets
Speaker 1: or I was Jo Names with the Chargers, right some
Speaker 1: like there's that stuff. He was, Yeah, I mean I
Speaker 1: think it's gonna be Yeah, it was Johnny United as
Speaker 1: the Chargers, right, Oh, yes, yeah, that's that's that's the one. Um. Now,
Speaker 1: I like, look like I think this is probably you know,
Speaker 1: Joe Montana with the Chiefs would probably be the right comparison,
Speaker 1: which is interesting because his Brady's boyhood hero. Uh you know,
Speaker 1: Montana went went to a really really good Chiefs team
Speaker 1: and was sort of able to move into the next
Speaker 1: days of his career. I feel like that's where Brady's
Speaker 1: been for a while, like that for the last year,
Speaker 1: I would say, or so, he's been sort of, you know,
Speaker 1: now at the level where it's you know, John Elway
Speaker 1: in Denver at the very end where Elway had a
Speaker 1: great team around him and didn't need to do what
Speaker 1: he needed to do in the eighties for the Broncos
Speaker 1: to win. Rod Smith, Ed McCaffrey, Terrell Davis, Shannon Sharpe
Speaker 1: and one of the best um one of the best
Speaker 1: offensive lines in football. And so I think that I
Speaker 1: think because of the skill talent on hand, I don't
Speaker 1: think Brady is gonna just fall in his space in Tampa.
Speaker 1: I think he'll play fine. I think Tampa's gonna be
Speaker 1: pretty good. They were seven and nine last year with
Speaker 1: their quarterbacks throwing for throwing thirty interceptions and seven and
Speaker 1: seven going into the last couple of weeks of the season.
Speaker 1: So I think that Tampa team will probably be a
Speaker 1: ten eleven win team. I think Brady will look fine,
Speaker 1: and I think it's going to be interesting to see
Speaker 1: what happens with Belichick because this is obviously a real challenge.
Speaker 1: And I can tell you, guys, this, as great as
Speaker 1: Belichick's been a building teams and winning on Sunday, he
Speaker 1: always had this enormous I mean, Brady didn't create margin Freir.
Speaker 1: Brady was the margin Frere. You could miss on a
Speaker 1: receiver in the draft, you could miss on offensive lineman,
Speaker 1: you could make mistakes hiring coaches, and Brady was had
Speaker 1: a way of making up for And it's gonna be
Speaker 1: fascinating to watch the greatest coach of all time go
Speaker 1: into this scenario where that margin Freir is now eliminated.
Speaker 1: You can follow them on Twitter at Albert Brier, that
Speaker 1: is at Albert Breer, Senior NFL reporter, Monday Morning quarterback

Speaker 1: those milk and cookies ready for teaching. Okay, Oh, God, God, yeah,
Speaker 1: I can't. Can't get them back to school soon enough,
Speaker 1: hopefully safely too. There goes great stuff from Albert Breer. Hey,
Speaker 1: we got more NFL on the way. Could the big
Speaker 1: free agents your team signed wind up not playing for
Speaker 1: your team after the draft? Oh? Potentially? Maybe not, that's
Speaker 1: coming up next. Keep it right here. Jason Smith, Rob

Speaker 1: Jason Smith, Rob Parker in for them. Thanks to Albert
Speaker 1: Breer for stopping buy a few minutes ago with us
Speaker 1: and Rob. Want to throw this because this is something
Speaker 1: that Adam Schefter talked about on ESPN a few minutes ago.
Speaker 1: This is kind of fun to think that, well, or
Speaker 1: kind of weird to think that maybe the NFL free
Speaker 1: agents that your team signed over the course of the
Speaker 1: past couple of weeks may not be playing for you
Speaker 1: after the draft. As because many free agents agreed to
Speaker 1: contracts but have been unable to actually sign them. So
Speaker 1: after the draft is over, if a team that needed
Speaker 1: a wide receiver or a shutdown cornerback or a edge
Speaker 1: rusher feels like they have addressed that position in the draft,
Speaker 1: they could conceivably pull the offers to these free agents
Speaker 1: and move on and all right, you know, well, we
Speaker 1: don't have to spend eight million a year on this
Speaker 1: guy because we were able to get this guy in
Speaker 1: the draft. We didn't know that we could get him,
Speaker 1: And potentially these guys may be looking for work and
Speaker 1: teams could back out of their agreements. Now I don't
Speaker 1: know how realistic that is, but in a year where
Speaker 1: you know, who knows how things are gonna go, we're
Speaker 1: living something new every day. I can't dismiss that I
Speaker 1: thought we saw Tom Brady sign a contract. Oh well,
Speaker 1: not all of them. Not well, not all of them
Speaker 1: had the real fancy way, because maybe Tampa Bay might
Speaker 1: pull out when they realized what they've done and they
Speaker 1: paid the bad team tax of an extra twenty five
Speaker 1: and they you know, Tom Brady was the guy who
Speaker 1: had the dad Bob before he even had any kids,
Speaker 1: so you know they might just decide, wait a minute,
Speaker 1: what were we thinking, No wonder he did such a
Speaker 1: cell job on us trying to get us. We got bamboozle,
Speaker 1: we got snookeerd, we got the hot hoodwinked. Wow. So,
Speaker 1: after a month to think about it, Wait a minute,
Speaker 1: do we really want to do that? We're gonna go
Speaker 1: back on this free agent acquisition of Tom Brady. Tom. Sorry, Yeah,
Speaker 1: we were really excited, but yeah, we're not doing that
Speaker 1: now because we drafted Jalen Hurts and we're just gonna
Speaker 1: put him in and let him play. And we realized
Speaker 1: after everything was over that nobody else wanted you. We
Speaker 1: were thinking, my god, we thought that we won some
Speaker 1: sort of bidding war, and we realized nobody wanted you,
Speaker 1: and the charges only wanted you to sell tickets. So
Speaker 1: you mean to tell me we're the only ones believing
Speaker 1: that Tom Brady can make a difference. Just think about that.
Speaker 1: It wasn't like they were in quarterback openings. They were
Speaker 1: all over the play. Yeah, but nobody wanted Brad. You'll look,
Speaker 1: Teddy Bridgewater will going to Carolina first. Yeah, right, this
Speaker 1: is Look, there's always gonna be buyer's remorse for teams
Speaker 1: with free agents in the NFL. But you could we
Speaker 1: could tell. You could tell the bad deals right when
Speaker 1: they happened, going, who are they bidding against for this? Well?
Speaker 1: This is this is the you know, and there's also
Speaker 1: the flip side of it, as boy, nobody really went
Speaker 1: in on this guy who who was pretty good last
Speaker 1: year and was, you know, the third best slot corner
Speaker 1: in the game, and the way he was great, he
Speaker 1: didn't get a big contract. You know, there's those, but
Speaker 1: the ones where you say, oh, they didn't have to
Speaker 1: give him that kind of money. I mean that that's apparent,
