1
00:00:00,760 --> 00:00:03,600
Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox

2
00:00:03,680 --> 00:00:07,840
Speaker 1: Sports Radio. Let me play the audio here. This is

3
00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:11,639
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers last night on the mother Ship. It was

4
00:00:11,720 --> 00:00:15,560
Speaker 1: Kenny Maine's final show, Kenny and Aaron Rodgers or Buddies.

5
00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:22,400
Speaker 1: And here is a portion of that interview. Are demanding

6
00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:26,400
Speaker 1: a trade with? Yeah? With my situation. Look, it's it's

7
00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:30,240
Speaker 1: never been about uh, you know, I've never been about

8
00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:32,879
Speaker 1: the draft pick pick and Jordan. I love Jordan. He's

9
00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:36,040
Speaker 1: a great kid. You know, he had a lot of

10
00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:40,320
Speaker 1: fun to work together. I love coaching staff, loved my teammates,

11
00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:42,960
Speaker 1: you know, I loved the fan base in Green Bay's incredible,

12
00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:47,640
Speaker 1: incredible sixteen years. It's just kind of about a philosophy,

13
00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:50,600
Speaker 1: you know, and and maybe forgetting that it's about the

14
00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:54,360
Speaker 1: people that make the thing go. It's about it's about character,

15
00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:57,760
Speaker 1: it's about culture, it's about doing things the right way.

16
00:00:58,120 --> 00:01:00,960
Speaker 1: All right. Rodgers didn't answer the question. Kenny did say,

17
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:04,280
Speaker 1: are you demanding a trade? And Aaron wanted to make

18
00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:10,720
Speaker 1: this about Kenny last night. Then he talked about, basically

19
00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:13,440
Speaker 1: as I've been saying for how many months now, Green

20
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:16,640
Speaker 1: Bay bet on Aaron Rodgers not being great this past season.

21
00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:18,920
Speaker 1: A lot of this was put in motion last year,

22
00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:21,880
Speaker 1: and the Rents was just kind of thrown into it

23
00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:24,200
Speaker 1: when I won the MVP and played the way I

24
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:27,240
Speaker 1: played last year. So this is just kind of, I think,

25
00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:31,039
Speaker 1: the spill out of all that. But look, man, it

26
00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:33,119
Speaker 1: is about the people, and that's the most important thing.

27
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:35,959
Speaker 1: Green Bay has always been about the people, from Curly

28
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:40,560
Speaker 1: Lambeau being owner and founder, to the sixties with Lombardi

29
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:43,480
Speaker 1: and bart Star and all those incredible names, to the

30
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:47,440
Speaker 1: nineties teams with coach Holmgren and Farvey and the Minister

31
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:49,440
Speaker 1: of Defense, to the run that we've been on. It's

32
00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:53,480
Speaker 1: about it's about the people. Well, why would you leave

33
00:01:53,560 --> 00:02:02,080
Speaker 1: a situation like that, teammates, coaching staff, people, legacy. If

34
00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:06,520
Speaker 1: it's just about one guy. Is it about the GM

35
00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:11,440
Speaker 1: not calling you to say we're drafting your replacement? Would

36
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:15,000
Speaker 1: that help? Thinks? Would Aaron Rodgers be in this situation

37
00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:18,919
Speaker 1: if Brian goodakounst the GM gave him a heads up?

38
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:21,720
Speaker 1: Is that what this is? Because it feels like that's

39
00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:24,800
Speaker 1: what it is. And yes, he does have a problem

40
00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:29,880
Speaker 1: with them drafting a quarterback. Hey, you love Jordan Love Okay,

41
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:33,520
Speaker 1: If I said you can magically make him disappear. What

42
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:40,040
Speaker 1: would Aaron Rodgers say? Yes, now what do you do?

43
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:44,480
Speaker 1: And look, Kenny did an interview? How Kenny does an interview?

44
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:49,079
Speaker 1: I can only tell you how I would have approached it,

45
00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:52,400
Speaker 1: and it's different. But Kenny was having fun. It's his

46
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:56,560
Speaker 1: last show. But I just want to know, Okay, how

47
00:02:56,600 --> 00:03:00,560
Speaker 1: do you rectify the situation, Aaron? How do you make

48
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:03,119
Speaker 1: this better? How do you make it so you want

49
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:07,600
Speaker 1: to stay? And Aaron was coming on really to do

50
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:11,239
Speaker 1: a solid for Kenny. But by doing a solid for Kenny,

51
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:16,560
Speaker 1: give him a nugget? Do you want out? If you don't,

52
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:21,040
Speaker 1: how do we salvage this? Because is it just Brian

53
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:26,279
Speaker 1: goodacoonst that's it? So you're going to get rid of teammates, tradition,

54
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:32,239
Speaker 1: fans because of one guy. Yeah, they drafted your replacement.

55
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:38,080
Speaker 1: Well you're a competitor, so continue to be great. Then

56
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:44,840
Speaker 1: Jordan Love doesn't play. I think Rogers is staying. Haven't

57
00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:48,680
Speaker 1: wavered off of that. But I haven't heard anything really

58
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:51,640
Speaker 1: to the contrary that says, oh, he's definitely going to

59
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:55,880
Speaker 1: be traded. I think he likes to be able to

60
00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:59,040
Speaker 1: say I'm gonna make you guys, twisting the wind a

61
00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:03,080
Speaker 1: little bit. You guys wasted a draft pick and you

62
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:06,440
Speaker 1: bet against me. Well, I understand what the Packers are

63
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:11,640
Speaker 1: doing or what they did, because I'll go back to

64
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 1: what I was told the night the draft, that the

65
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:17,640
Speaker 1: Colts were interested in Jordan's Love. The Packers traded up.

66
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:20,920
Speaker 1: They didn't want to lose Jordan Love. Rogers had been

67
00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:25,720
Speaker 1: average twenty five touchdowns, twenty six touchdowns, and they thought,

68
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:28,400
Speaker 1: if he has another one of those seasons, they're going

69
00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:32,440
Speaker 1: to make the transition of Jordan's love. But at some

70
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:38,640
Speaker 1: point the Packers have to say, all right, okay, we

71
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:45,320
Speaker 1: bet against you, Aaron, but what do you do. You're

72
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:48,880
Speaker 1: gonna keep Jordan's Love on the roster? Are you going

73
00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:53,880
Speaker 1: to keep Ryan Goodacoon's Packers can't ACQUI asked Aaron Rodgers

74
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:57,320
Speaker 1: like this. You can't say, hey, we're gonna fire the GM,

75
00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:03,240
Speaker 1: We're going to reassign the GM. We can't do that

76
00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:07,640
Speaker 1: as an organization. But there's this quarterback empowerment that's going

77
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:11,080
Speaker 1: on because of Tom Brady. We saw it. Deshaun Watson

78
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:16,240
Speaker 1: wanted involved in the coaching interview process. Russell Wilson wanted

79
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:19,000
Speaker 1: to be seated at the table to talk about what

80
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:22,200
Speaker 1: improvements need to happen, players we need to bring in,

81
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:27,960
Speaker 1: and now Aaron Rodgers. But this started with Tom Brady.

82
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:31,800
Speaker 1: I mean, Brady got kicked to the curb by the Patriots.

83
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:36,839
Speaker 1: What an ideal situation. He had no power in New England.

84
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:39,719
Speaker 1: Now he goes to Tampa. All he did is bringing

85
00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:45,599
Speaker 1: Antonio Brown and Rob Gronkowski. That's not exactly player empowerment.

86
00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:53,640
Speaker 1: Plus Tampa didn't have to trade anything. If you trade

87
00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:57,320
Speaker 1: for Rogers, you got to give up some stuff. And

88
00:05:57,400 --> 00:06:00,360
Speaker 1: if you go to another why would Roger want to

89
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:03,640
Speaker 1: go to a team that has to It's not very

90
00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:06,520
Speaker 1: good and now they just gave up draft picks, so

91
00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:10,680
Speaker 1: you're not going to get better. This is the best

92
00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:15,120
Speaker 1: place for him to win a championship. I think that

93
00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:21,440
Speaker 1: Aaron is enjoying this. I think it's where you know

94
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:23,919
Speaker 1: I was. I would have had that MVP with me

95
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:27,760
Speaker 1: last night, not my fiance. I would have had the

96
00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:31,680
Speaker 1: MVP there with me. I'd wear it around my neck

97
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:35,400
Speaker 1: a chain. I'd be holding it, hugging it just to

98
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:39,159
Speaker 1: remind the packers. Hey, and this comes down to who

99
00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:45,960
Speaker 1: Mark Murphy and Brian goodacounst Murphy's the CEO. There's no owner.

100
00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:51,120
Speaker 1: The fans own it. So who is he mad at?

101
00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:59,680
Speaker 1: And if you want out, then say you one out? Yeah,

102
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:06,679
Speaker 1: national stage. You could do what Julio Jones did. Maybe

103
00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:09,320
Speaker 1: if Kenny Maine had called up Aaron Rodgers and then

104
00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:11,480
Speaker 1: not told him he was on the air and just said, hey,

105
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:15,880
Speaker 1: well you want to get starting, you will? You want

106
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:18,600
Speaker 1: out of there? Yeah, I'm out of here. By the way,

107
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:25,560
Speaker 1: we're on Sports Center. Then there was that topic yesterday

108
00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:29,680
Speaker 1: Shannon Sharpe with Julio Jones. Now, first of all, it

109
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:32,680
Speaker 1: starts with Shannon Sharpe and Skip Baylis. They are discussing

110
00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:36,920
Speaker 1: Julio Jones. Shannon, who has a great relationship with Julio Jones.

111
00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:39,480
Speaker 1: And this is how it started on Undisputed on Fox

112
00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:43,920
Speaker 1: Sports one. Julio wants to go to Dallas. No, Julio

113
00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:46,880
Speaker 1: wants to stay in Atlanta. No he doesn't. Yes, how

114
00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:49,320
Speaker 1: do you know they want to get rid of him?

115
00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:52,080
Speaker 1: By all accounts, they want him out. You were done?

116
00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:54,880
Speaker 1: You want we to call him? Ask him? We'll ask him, Yes,

117
00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:57,120
Speaker 1: I do. I'll call him all right now and there

118
00:07:57,160 --> 00:07:59,240
Speaker 1: put him all I'll call it. Let's ask him if

119
00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:02,640
Speaker 1: he wants to play for America's team. Okay, so there's

120
00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:05,240
Speaker 1: the setup. I don't know if Julio Jones is in

121
00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:10,760
Speaker 1: on this. But also if you heard Shannon Sharp say

122
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:13,720
Speaker 1: Skip of course thinks everybody wants to go to Dallas,

123
00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:17,040
Speaker 1: how can we get the Cowboys in a conversation, and

124
00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:21,080
Speaker 1: then Shannon says, no, he doesn't want out of Atlanta.

125
00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:24,000
Speaker 1: That's the thing that's lost in all of this, he

126
00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:26,760
Speaker 1: says he Shannon says, no, he doesn't want out. And

127
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:32,040
Speaker 1: then here's the conversation. What's going on, broh Man, the money?

128
00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:35,120
Speaker 1: Try to go meet up with my brother? Which man, Look,

129
00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:37,840
Speaker 1: you want to go to the Cowboys, Julio, or you

130
00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:43,960
Speaker 1: want to stay at Atlanta? Oh man? Out of the ideally?

131
00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:47,439
Speaker 1: Where would you like to go? Right now? I want

132
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:50,720
Speaker 1: to win? Okay, we don't go to Dallas. If you go,

133
00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:55,080
Speaker 1: you ain't winning in Dallas, Julio. Yea, man, come on, man,

134
00:08:55,280 --> 00:09:00,600
Speaker 1: already know I know. Okay, we're on televison asking why

135
00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:03,840
Speaker 1: he wore the Dallas You know how people live man

136
00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:11,000
Speaker 1: with the Yeah? Yeah, okay, man, I ain't never been

137
00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:14,679
Speaker 1: on it, you know what I'm saying. Okay, that's good enough, Julio,

138
00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:17,160
Speaker 1: I'll talk to you later. Thanks for calling me back.

139
00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:20,920
Speaker 1: We all are but ill appreciate you calling me Dolph. Okay,

140
00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:24,120
Speaker 1: Jenny taff is saying, like, are you telling him we're

141
00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:28,880
Speaker 1: on the air. That's mid interview, because given the conversation

142
00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:33,199
Speaker 1: language by Julio Jones, I don't think Julio knows he's

143
00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:38,600
Speaker 1: on the air. It's certainly not clear. We asked for

144
00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:43,400
Speaker 1: some clarity from Fox Sports and haven't heard anything. Yeah, Polly, Yeah,

145
00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:46,360
Speaker 1: we asked and a couple other media critics asked Fox

146
00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:49,200
Speaker 1: Sports to clarify if Julio Jones knew he was on

147
00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:51,439
Speaker 1: the air before he went on the air, and there

148
00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:55,920
Speaker 1: was no response whatsoever. And the clip actually the show undisputed. Yeah,

149
00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:58,440
Speaker 1: they don't have the clip posted on their clips of

150
00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:01,640
Speaker 1: the day on their Twitter feed recap. They have thirty

151
00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:05,200
Speaker 1: other clips, but not the Julio Johns one. Yeah, it's interesting.

152
00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:07,000
Speaker 1: I don't think that he realized that he was on

153
00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:11,440
Speaker 1: the air, but it's certainly in question here. But I

154
00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:15,360
Speaker 1: think most media outlets don't care if Julio knew he

155
00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:17,400
Speaker 1: was on the air. It's the story of he wants

156
00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:20,640
Speaker 1: out that you can run with because now you can

157
00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:25,280
Speaker 1: speculate on how many teams, well, New England having internal discussions.

158
00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:29,480
Speaker 1: You know what internal discussions are. That's where you sit

159
00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:33,280
Speaker 1: around and you probably got Let's say you're you're part

160
00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:35,839
Speaker 1: of the coaching staff. You're sitting around in New England.

161
00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:40,079
Speaker 1: You go, h and do you guys hear about Julio Jones? Yeah?

162
00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:42,680
Speaker 1: Does he want out? Yeah? So I'm here and he

163
00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:46,040
Speaker 1: wants out? Really? Like, what's Atlanta want for Julio? Do

164
00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:47,800
Speaker 1: you remember that catch he had against us in the

165
00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:51,079
Speaker 1: Super Bowl Man that almost set up the game winning

166
00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:54,120
Speaker 1: field goal? Yeah? Yeah, what are they asking for? I

167
00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:56,679
Speaker 1: don't know? Chefty said, you know, they want to first

168
00:10:56,760 --> 00:11:03,160
Speaker 1: round pick? Internal discussions. That's an internal discussion. Like, if

169
00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:06,240
Speaker 1: you didn't talk about Julio Jones, I would wonder about you,

170
00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:10,080
Speaker 1: Like what else do you do? You're the Patriots, you

171
00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:13,440
Speaker 1: haven't had an a receiver since Randy Moss. Of course

172
00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:17,480
Speaker 1: you'd be talking about it. But does that mean Belichick's going, Oh,

173
00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:19,000
Speaker 1: I got to something. Now find a way to get

174
00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:21,400
Speaker 1: Julio Jones. Let's come up with the trade off here. No,

175
00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:25,920
Speaker 1: I'm gonna guess an internal discussion. Hey, what else are

176
00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:29,200
Speaker 1: you hearing. Oh yeah, did you watch you Aaron Rodgers?

177
00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:31,320
Speaker 1: Kenny Man, Yeah, they do. You say a thing? NA

178
00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:35,600
Speaker 1: not really like that's new. They're having internal discussions about

179
00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:41,960
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers. That's how this works. But look, you're supposed

180
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:45,200
Speaker 1: to give somebody a heads up just so they know,

181
00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:49,000
Speaker 1: and then you don't catch them off guard. That's all. Now.

182
00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:52,840
Speaker 1: Was it good TV? Yes, it was good tv? But

183
00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:58,880
Speaker 1: if Julio knew it. We even called his representative just

184
00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:01,240
Speaker 1: to find out did he know it? And we didn't

185
00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:06,079
Speaker 1: even get a response back. And Plus, I think this

186
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:09,199
Speaker 1: was a good day for the Falcons because the Falcons

187
00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:12,679
Speaker 1: can now do what the Lions did with Matthew Stafford.

188
00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:17,600
Speaker 1: We're open for business. Come on in. He doesn't want

189
00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:21,000
Speaker 1: to be here. We're not the bad guys. He wants

190
00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:26,160
Speaker 1: out of here. All offers, Come on in, because on

191
00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:31,320
Speaker 1: June first, we're trading Julio Jones. Have your internal discussions.

192
00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:34,320
Speaker 1: Be sure to catch the live edition of The Dan

193

Speaker 1: Patrick Show weekdays at nine am Eastern six am Pacific

194
00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:42,200
Speaker 1: on Fox Sports Radio in the iHeart Radio. Apple's bringing

195
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:45,960
Speaker 1: Albert Breer, senior NFL reporter League content strategist for the

196
00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:48,520
Speaker 1: Monday morning quarterback. Do want to let you know, Albert

197
00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:51,760
Speaker 1: that you are live on the show right now? Thanks

198
00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:55,559
Speaker 1: for they want to let you everything's nice and legal here,

199
00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:58,640
Speaker 1: Yes it is, Yes, it is. I think most members

200
00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:01,920
Speaker 1: of the media don't really care about sort of these

201
00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:04,760
Speaker 1: details behind the scenes. Did Julio Jones know he was

202
00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:07,000
Speaker 1: on the air or not? Fans don't care. They just

203
00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:09,480
Speaker 1: want to know, Well, where's he gonna go here? So

204
00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:12,280
Speaker 1: let me at least touch on what happened here with

205
00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:14,800
Speaker 1: Julio Jones and Shannon Sharpe. Do you think Julio knew

206
00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:17,200
Speaker 1: he was on the air live? I don't think he knew,

207
00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:21,600
Speaker 1: you know, just digging around a little bit yesterday, I

208
00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:24,080
Speaker 1: really got the sense based on the way some things

209
00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:27,640
Speaker 1: went down that he didn't know And honestly, I mean

210
00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:30,840
Speaker 1: without having inside knowledge of exactly the way that that

211
00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:34,480
Speaker 1: went down between Shannon and Julio, Like we haven't ten

212
00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:37,360
Speaker 1: years of track record on Julio Dan, I mean, does

213
00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:40,520
Speaker 1: that seem a little out of character, like he is

214
00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:44,440
Speaker 1: such a private guy, and like the fact that they

215
00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:46,319
Speaker 1: were able to keep this quiet for two and a

216
00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:50,640
Speaker 1: half months, like like why would you just blurt that out?

217
00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:54,080
Speaker 1: Like it's just like the whole thing smelt funny when

218
00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:56,559
Speaker 1: it happened, and the more I dig around, the more

219
00:13:56,760 --> 00:13:59,520
Speaker 1: it's sort of It just seems to have confirmed the

220
00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:02,360
Speaker 1: fact that that he didn't fully know that he was

221
00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:04,320
Speaker 1: What he was saying was going out to a national

222
00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:06,679
Speaker 1: television audience, And I think if you listen to the conversation,

223
00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:09,480
Speaker 1: it sounds like casual conversation between a couple of guys

224
00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:13,080
Speaker 1: in the phone. I think we heard about there were

225
00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:15,960
Speaker 1: whispers around the draft that Julio Jones could be traded.

226
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:17,720
Speaker 1: I think the night of the draft we thought that

227
00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:20,400
Speaker 1: maybe there's a chance that he could be traded. But

228
00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:24,040
Speaker 1: now you fast forward this to go okay, if you're

229
00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:27,600
Speaker 1: the Falcons, I view this as a Matthew Stafford moment, like, hey,

230
00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:30,920
Speaker 1: we're open for business. He wants out, and if you

231
00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:33,000
Speaker 1: want to make us an offer, we're not the bad

232
00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:36,320
Speaker 1: guys moving on from Julio Jones. But I also go

233
00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:40,280
Speaker 1: back to their draft strategy here. If you're letting Julio go,

234
00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:42,680
Speaker 1: you're bringing in Kyle Pitch, but you still have Matt Ryan.

235
00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:46,160
Speaker 1: That's where I wondered, why not just do a total

236
00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:49,080
Speaker 1: reset and I know you still have Matt Ryan for

237
00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:52,520
Speaker 1: a year at least, but you could have drafted the quarterback.

238
00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:56,200
Speaker 1: So there's a lot to kind of unpack here, because

239
00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:58,720
Speaker 1: I think that they feel like they're close enough or

240
00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:01,360
Speaker 1: they can compete right now with the core players they have,

241
00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:04,600
Speaker 1: even absent Julio and if you look like I mean

242
00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:07,880
Speaker 1: Dion Jones, really good middle linebacker, Jake Matthews, really good

243
00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:11,480
Speaker 1: left tackle, Calvin Ridley, potentially number one receiver. They've poured

244
00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:14,840
Speaker 1: a lot of first round picks into that offensive line.

245
00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:17,320
Speaker 1: You know, I think you can see where the new

246
00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:19,520
Speaker 1: guys in charge there, the GM Terry Fontin and the

247
00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:23,440
Speaker 1: coach Arthur Smith, feel like we can win right now

248
00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:26,320
Speaker 1: and we can do maybe what Andy Reid did in

249
00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:29,200
Speaker 1: Kansas City, where we can build around a veteran quarterback

250
00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:31,960
Speaker 1: for the first few years, be competitive year and a

251
00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:34,320
Speaker 1: year out, and then eventually pick our spot when there's

252
00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:36,600
Speaker 1: a quarterback out there that we really like in the draft,

253
00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:39,360
Speaker 1: and get aggressive and go and get them. But I

254
00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:41,360
Speaker 1: do think job Number one for them going into this

255
00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:44,120
Speaker 1: offseason was cleaning up the salary cap, and that's how

256
00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:46,880
Speaker 1: this whole thing began. They really have five players that've

257
00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:50,800
Speaker 1: got gigantic contracts on the roster, and that's you know,

258
00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:54,960
Speaker 1: Ryan Julio, Dion Jones, Jake Matthews, and Grady Jarrett. And

259
00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:58,160
Speaker 1: they've already restructured three of those guys, so you know, Ryan,

260
00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:01,760
Speaker 1: Dion Jones, and Jake Matthews are in for twenty twenty one.

261
00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:05,280
Speaker 1: The question then becomes, where do you find space going forward?

262
00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:08,160
Speaker 1: Do you want to keep pushing money forward? So what's

263
00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:10,600
Speaker 1: already going to be a twenty twenty two problem becomes

264
00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:13,680
Speaker 1: a twenty twenty three problem. And I just think when

265
00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:17,400
Speaker 1: you add the fact that Julio quietly lodged that request

266
00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:21,360
Speaker 1: through his agent in early March, you can kind of

267
00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:23,920
Speaker 1: add things up where you say, Okay, the Falcons were

268
00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:26,480
Speaker 1: looking for cap relief. Here's a guy who doesn't want out,

269
00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:29,800
Speaker 1: the other guys want in. Let's build going forward? Is

270
00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:32,800
Speaker 1: if we're gonna win right now, knowing that there's one big,

271
00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:34,800
Speaker 1: big piece of the puzzle that's probably going to come out,

272
00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:39,160
Speaker 1: who should call the Falcons today? I like, doesn't it

273
00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:40,680
Speaker 1: make all the sense in the world that this could

274
00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:43,800
Speaker 1: be the all of Branch to Aaron Rodgers, like, I mean,

275
00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:46,920
Speaker 1: it's just and their cap is an issue and everything else.

276
00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:51,720
Speaker 1: But if like, here's the thing with the Packers and Aaron, Like,

277
00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:53,440
Speaker 1: I think they're in a little bit of a tough

278
00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:55,840
Speaker 1: spot because, like a lot of this, and I think

279
00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:59,320
Speaker 1: we talked about this last week goes back to last year.

280
00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:03,160
Speaker 1: The commun indication of the Jordan Love pick was poor

281
00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:06,479
Speaker 1: between the team and Rogers. That created hard feelings. I

282
00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:09,480
Speaker 1: think the fact that the Packers have largely stood Pat

283
00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:12,679
Speaker 1: as far as veteran acquisitions this offseason rubbed him the

284
00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:15,080
Speaker 1: wrong way. He wants them to build the way that

285
00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:18,200
Speaker 1: the Bucks have built around Brady. Well, if you really

286
00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:21,440
Speaker 1: want Aaron back in, you know, you figure it's tough

287
00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:23,000
Speaker 1: to prove to him that you're going to build a

288
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:25,680
Speaker 1: different way at this juncture in the offseason. And now

289
00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:28,960
Speaker 1: that opportunity is sitting there for you right now, maybe

290
00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:31,160
Speaker 1: you mortgage a couple of contracts, you do some things

291
00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:33,080
Speaker 1: that you haven't done in the past to bring in

292
00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:36,879
Speaker 1: a star player and give Aaron Rodgers Julio Jones to

293
00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:40,639
Speaker 1: play opposite Davante Adams. Like, it's just to me, like,

294
00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:43,640
Speaker 1: if you're in the Packers and you really really want

295
00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:45,639
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers back in, and you feel like you're in

296
00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:48,680
Speaker 1: a two or three year window to compete for championships.

297
00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:52,440
Speaker 1: What better Alive Brands than to get Aaron Rodgers back

298
00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:54,840
Speaker 1: in than to go acquire Julio Jones. How about this,

299
00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:59,800
Speaker 1: You trade Jordan Love for Julio Jones. That's perfect, right,

300
00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:02,000
Speaker 1: and then the Falcons and then the Falcons have a

301
00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:04,719
Speaker 1: guy they can develop on their roster. Right. I mean,

302
00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:09,119
Speaker 1: like now, all of a sudden, we solved this. This

303
00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:12,280
Speaker 1: is we just solved two major problems. Juleo Jones is

304
00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:15,080
Speaker 1: a packer. Aaron Rodgers is back in. The Falcons have

305
00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:17,960
Speaker 1: their quarterback of the future. We just talked for five

306
00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:20,760
Speaker 1: minutes and solved everything that we just talked about in

307
00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:23,560
Speaker 1: twenty That was easy. That was easy. What was the

308
00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:27,320
Speaker 1: big takeaway from Aaron Rodgers interview last night? That you

309
00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:29,440
Speaker 1: have to decode everything, which I think you know you

310
00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:31,159
Speaker 1: know Aaron well enough to in that you have to

311
00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:33,920
Speaker 1: decode everything that he says. And I think when he

312
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:36,920
Speaker 1: says it's about the people, you know, he's pointing back

313
00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:39,760
Speaker 1: to the communication issues that there have been over the

314
00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:42,600
Speaker 1: last year and a half. And you know, again, and

315
00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:44,720
Speaker 1: I hate to keep harping on, I don't think it's

316
00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:47,760
Speaker 1: as much about the Jordan love pick itself as it is,

317
00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:50,280
Speaker 1: the way it happened, how it caught him off guard,

318
00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:53,439
Speaker 1: how he found out about it while they're on the clock. Um,

319
00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:55,560
Speaker 1: I just think that could have been handled better. And

320
00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:57,720
Speaker 1: I think there are people in the Packers organization that

321
00:18:57,760 --> 00:19:00,560
Speaker 1: would concede that to you. Um, you know. And then

322
00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:03,719
Speaker 1: I think going forward, you know, now as radars up

323
00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:06,520
Speaker 1: and it's okay, well, how are you going to show

324
00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:11,240
Speaker 1: me that this is about maximizing my window? And the

325
00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:14,480
Speaker 1: fact that again they stood pat from a veteran acquisition

326
00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:18,240
Speaker 1: standpoint over the course of the last three or four months,

327
00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:21,680
Speaker 1: I'm sure rubs him the wrong way. And so, you know,

328
00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:25,439
Speaker 1: I think it's just it's two trains on different tracks

329
00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:27,880
Speaker 1: right now, and it's how you kind of bring those

330
00:19:28,119 --> 00:19:30,720
Speaker 1: two together to get everybody kind of pointing in the

331
00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:33,480
Speaker 1: same direction. The Packers have built a certain way for

332
00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:36,720
Speaker 1: thirty years and their principled about it, and it's worked

333
00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:39,520
Speaker 1: for them. They've been a consistent contender over three decades.

334
00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:43,160
Speaker 1: And you have a quarterback now that's you know, looking

335
00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:45,000
Speaker 1: at himself and saying I'm on a two or a

336
00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:47,639
Speaker 1: three year timetable and I want to go compete for

337
00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:50,720
Speaker 1: championships right now, right now. And oh, by the way,

338
00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:54,080
Speaker 1: that team down in Tampa is building much more aggressively

339
00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:55,600
Speaker 1: than my team is, and that's what I'm going to

340
00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:57,600
Speaker 1: be up against in the NFC over the next couple

341
00:19:57,680 --> 00:20:00,359
Speaker 1: of years. And so I think so much of this

342
00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:03,760
Speaker 1: boils down to whether or not the Packers are willing

343
00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:06,480
Speaker 1: to change the way they've done business for the last

344
00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:08,840
Speaker 1: thirty years, which is a very very difficult thing for

345
00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:11,520
Speaker 1: any organization to consider. What would you have asked Aaron

346
00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:16,160
Speaker 1: last night? I would have asked him more direct questions

347
00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:19,960
Speaker 1: about the team president and the general manager. I don't

348
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:22,840
Speaker 1: think the issue was ever Matt Lafleur, un Listen, I

349
00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:25,560
Speaker 1: understand this is this is Kenny Mains farewell show, and

350
00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:27,200
Speaker 1: he can handle it any way he wants. So I'm

351
00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:30,000
Speaker 1: not being critical of Kenny in any way. But I

352
00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:34,000
Speaker 1: do think the crux of the issue here is, you know,

353
00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:36,280
Speaker 1: like the way that the front office has handled things,

354
00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:38,520
Speaker 1: and really, you know, if you want to, you know,

355
00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:40,760
Speaker 1: point to the two guys that swing the biggest sticks

356
00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:44,040
Speaker 1: in the front office. It's the team president, Mark Murphy

357
00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:47,120
Speaker 1: and the general manager, Brian Gudukoons. So I think once

358
00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:49,280
Speaker 1: you got past him saying I don't have a problem

359
00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:53,520
Speaker 1: with the coaching staff. I don't have a problem with Jordan,

360
00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:55,040
Speaker 1: I don't have a problem with X, Y and Z.

361
00:20:55,840 --> 00:20:57,160
Speaker 1: I would have said, well, do you have a problem

362
00:20:57,200 --> 00:20:58,960
Speaker 1: with the front office? I think that the answer to

363
00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:01,440
Speaker 1: that question would have been interesting. Yeah, that's what I

364
00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:05,119
Speaker 1: keep wondering. Okay, so this is the problem. How do

365
00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:08,359
Speaker 1: we fix the problem? And that's what I would want

366
00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:10,720
Speaker 1: to know he You know, he cites Curly Neil and

367
00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:14,440
Speaker 1: Lombardi and Farv and bard Star and the people and

368
00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:17,800
Speaker 1: the teammates. Why would you give that up because of

369
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:21,080
Speaker 1: one or two people like that doesn't make any sense.

370
00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:23,720
Speaker 1: You don't play with them. You may see them, you

371
00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:25,879
Speaker 1: don't have to talk to them. I didn't like members

372
00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:29,119
Speaker 1: of management at ESPN, but I love the people I

373
00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:31,680
Speaker 1: work with. I would hate to go, oh, I'm just

374
00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:33,440
Speaker 1: going to give all of this up because I don't

375
00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:36,240
Speaker 1: like this person. And that's what I wonder. This is

376
00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:40,600
Speaker 1: the best place for Aaron Rodgers to win. So we're presuming, though,

377
00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:42,880
Speaker 1: that his end game is to be out of Green Bay.

378
00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:46,159
Speaker 1: I think he's staying here. Like like, but here's what

379
00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:49,760
Speaker 1: I'm saying, Like like the presumption when people hear trade requests, right,

380
00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:52,560
Speaker 1: the presumption is always, well, the guy just wants to

381
00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:55,040
Speaker 1: be out of there. Well, I don't think that's always

382
00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:58,520
Speaker 1: the truth. Like I think sometimes these things happen as

383
00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:01,680
Speaker 1: leverage plays, and I like, there's a big part of

384
00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:04,520
Speaker 1: me Dan that thinks like he likes the offense he's

385
00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:06,960
Speaker 1: playing and he loves DeVante Smith. We know his close

386
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:10,080
Speaker 1: relationship with his left tackle David baktri In a lot

387
00:22:10,119 --> 00:22:13,000
Speaker 1: of ways, Green days much better than the teams we've heard.

388
00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:15,920
Speaker 1: Um could be interested in trading for him right, much

389
00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:18,240
Speaker 1: better spot for him, and he can cement his legacy

390
00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:21,320
Speaker 1: forever there. So what if Denver is going to have

391
00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:23,440
Speaker 1: to give up first round? Why would he want to

392
00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:26,800
Speaker 1: go to Denver? Yeah, and that's the that's the question

393
00:22:26,840 --> 00:22:29,440
Speaker 1: I'm asking. So what if the end game here isn't

394
00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:32,440
Speaker 1: so much I want out, it's I want you to

395
00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:36,160
Speaker 1: change the way you're doing business. And if it takes

396
00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:40,239
Speaker 1: me threatening to leave, me threatening not to show up,

397
00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:44,119
Speaker 1: I'm gonna push every button that I possibly can push

398
00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:47,000
Speaker 1: to try to get you to change the way that

399
00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:49,920
Speaker 1: you do business. So over the next two or three years,

400
00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:53,119
Speaker 1: I have the best shot to win a championship, and

401
00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:56,280
Speaker 1: let's say, let's let's let's let's play this hypothetical out.

402
00:22:57,040 --> 00:22:58,960
Speaker 1: Was it worth it going through through all of this

403
00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:03,840
Speaker 1: if it means Julio Jones in two weeks? Yeah? Right,

404
00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:06,440
Speaker 1: Like so if it was a leverage play and it

405
00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:08,639
Speaker 1: and it gets the Packers to move off their spot

406
00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:11,119
Speaker 1: and go get Julio Jones, And again, you didn't have

407
00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:13,120
Speaker 1: to move around a lot of things to make that happen,

408
00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:15,520
Speaker 1: you know, like they'd have to move, they'd have to

409
00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:18,159
Speaker 1: they'd have to, like I like, do a lot of

410
00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:21,840
Speaker 1: what Tampa has done quite frankly to get Julio Jones in.

411
00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:26,240
Speaker 1: But I mean you would be adding a top shelf

412
00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:29,200
Speaker 1: weapon who's on the same timetable as Aaron Rodgers. Doesn't

413
00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:31,680
Speaker 1: have a ton of time left right, And Julio would

414
00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:34,560
Speaker 1: be coming into an offense he's familiar with because the

415
00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:38,600
Speaker 1: head coach in Green Day, Matt Lafleur, was the quarterbacks

416
00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:41,640
Speaker 1: coach in Atlanta when Julio went to the Super Bowl.

417
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:44,600
Speaker 1: So I just think in a lot of different ways,

418
00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:46,399
Speaker 1: Like you know, if you look at what Aaron Rodgers

419
00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:49,440
Speaker 1: is trying to do here, I mean, maybe he wants

420
00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:52,600
Speaker 1: out under the current circumstances. But maybe his ideal is

421
00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:56,439
Speaker 1: that I want to change my circumstances here, and if

422
00:23:56,480 --> 00:24:01,480
Speaker 1: it takes me threatening leaving to change those circumstances, then

423
00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:03,640
Speaker 1: I'm willing to do that. By the way, my sneaky

424
00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:08,680
Speaker 1: MVP this year, do you want to get Justin Herbert? No?

425
00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:19,560
Speaker 1: Sneakier than that, Joe Burrow, not that sneaky Matthew Stafford.

426
00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:23,560
Speaker 1: I like it, Yeah, I like it. Hey, Hey, look

427
00:24:23,600 --> 00:24:26,040
Speaker 1: what was Jared Goff before Sean McVeagh got his hands

428
00:24:26,040 --> 00:24:29,400
Speaker 1: on him. I mean, Jared Goff look like a train

429
00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:31,119
Speaker 1: wreck in the year one, and Sean mcvayh turned him

430
00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:34,520
Speaker 1: around right away. So I mean Stafford's a good quarterback

431
00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:36,960
Speaker 1: to begin with. I think it makes sense. Yeah, absolutely

432
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:41,720
Speaker 1: look that. Yeah. By the way, what level of sunburn

433
00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:45,040
Speaker 1: do you have? One to ten? I think it's the

434
00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:47,760
Speaker 1: lights actually, but I don't have a sum I just

435
00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:50,000
Speaker 1: hand really well, it's a it's a strength of mind,

436
00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:53,800
Speaker 1: Dan Well. The shirt I think also kind of adds

437
00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:56,959
Speaker 1: a little bit more of a Yeah, I think I've

438
00:24:57,000 --> 00:24:59,879
Speaker 1: got a little too much shine. Like this light over here.

439
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:03,040
Speaker 1: I moved it. I got moved by my kids. It

440
00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:04,800
Speaker 1: got just kind of like moved off a little bit,

441
00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:06,720
Speaker 1: and so it's hitting my head in a certain way

442
00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:09,240
Speaker 1: where I got like some shine going there. So I'm

443
00:25:09,280 --> 00:25:11,840
Speaker 1: not sunburnt right now, but I do tan really well.

444
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:14,200
Speaker 1: So and you'll be able to see that over the

445
00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:16,320
Speaker 1: next few months, and I look forward to that. Yeah,

446
00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:18,720
Speaker 1: I look forward to seeing your tin ask eyes and eyes,

447
00:25:18,760 --> 00:25:20,399
Speaker 1: and I'll tell you how well. I I want to

448
00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:22,600
Speaker 1: see your tan lines. That's really what I want to

449
00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:28,479
Speaker 1: see right now. Yeah, take them off here. Yes, Uh,

450
00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:32,600
Speaker 1: you're gonna be officially off the air now, Okay, okay, okay,

451
00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:35,119
Speaker 1: so I can say whatever I want then once you so,

452
00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:37,440
Speaker 1: so in thirty seconds when Todd talks to me, like

453
00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:43,440
Speaker 1: right now, right now, we're just a couple of guys talking. Okay, No,

454
00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:46,840
Speaker 1: don't see anything because then you're gonna rip like Jason

455
00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:50,639
Speaker 1: locking for or you're gonna rip you know, chefty. So

456
00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:52,200
Speaker 1: I don't want you doing. I'm gonna say I want

457

00:25:56,680 --> 00:25:59,919
Speaker 1: room right now because the lights are too shining. Uh, Albert,

474

475
00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:50,320
Speaker 1: Pro Football Talk Live co host. We figured we'd ask

476
00:26:50,480 --> 00:26:54,159
Speaker 1: Mike to unwrap some things that we had yesterday and

477
00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:56,600
Speaker 1: last night. Let me start with Aaron Rodgers last night

478
00:26:56,640 --> 00:27:00,600
Speaker 1: with Kenny Maine. Big takeaway was, you know, I think

479
00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:04,000
Speaker 1: Kenny Maine did a great job of continuing in a

480
00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:08,040
Speaker 1: very subtle and understated way to get Aaron Rodgers to

481
00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:10,359
Speaker 1: say something I thought he wasn't going to say anything,

482
00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:14,640
Speaker 1: and then eventually he launches into this monologue about it's

483
00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:17,280
Speaker 1: all about the people. It's all about the people. Dan,

484
00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:21,520
Speaker 1: didn't you know that professional football is all about the people.

485
00:27:21,560 --> 00:27:25,439
Speaker 1: It's not about winning games or making money or quickly

486
00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:28,800
Speaker 1: and immediately throwing overboard one player and bringing in another

487
00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:31,000
Speaker 1: one whenever it's in the best interest of the team.

488
00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:33,760
Speaker 1: It's actually about the people. At least that's the way

489
00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:37,560
Speaker 1: it's always been in Green Bay. It's always about the people.

490
00:27:37,960 --> 00:27:41,320
Speaker 1: I don't know what world Aaron Rodgers is currently living in,

491
00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:44,440
Speaker 1: but it's never been about the people. They have say

492
00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:46,800
Speaker 1: it's about the people. They'll say football his family because

493
00:27:46,840 --> 00:27:48,920
Speaker 1: it's good for business to say football his family. But

494
00:27:49,280 --> 00:27:54,320
Speaker 1: he's adopted this unrealistic, idealistic view of life in Green Bay.

495
00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:58,360
Speaker 1: And look, I don't think he believes it. I think

496
00:27:58,400 --> 00:27:59,879
Speaker 1: this is just his way of getting the fans on

497
00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:03,520
Speaker 1: his side in his ongoing battle with management of the team,

498
00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:06,320
Speaker 1: which all of a sudden has forgotten that it's all

499
00:28:06,359 --> 00:28:09,040
Speaker 1: about the people. Yeah. I wonder what his goal was

500
00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:12,879
Speaker 1: last night, Mike. I think, plain and simple, Dan, whatever

501
00:28:12,960 --> 00:28:16,359
Speaker 1: he's got planned for the twenty twenty one season, whether

502
00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:19,960
Speaker 1: it's holding out, whether it's showing up and being a

503
00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:23,399
Speaker 1: constant irritant for the front office, whatever it is. He

504
00:28:23,560 --> 00:28:25,720
Speaker 1: does not want to be reviled the way Brett Farve was.

505
00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:29,120
Speaker 1: And remember they wanted Brett Farve out. I firmly believe

506
00:28:29,160 --> 00:28:31,159
Speaker 1: they went to Brett Farve February of two thousand and eight,

507
00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:33,680
Speaker 1: knowing full well what his answer would be, and said

508
00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:35,200
Speaker 1: to him, we need to know right now what you're

509
00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:37,360
Speaker 1: gonna do. Are you in or are you out? February

510
00:28:37,440 --> 00:28:41,000
Speaker 1: he's out. July he's in too late. Brett. Sorry, we've

511
00:28:41,080 --> 00:28:45,520
Speaker 1: drafted seven quarterbacks, We've got Aaron Rodgers. You're gone. And

512
00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:48,760
Speaker 1: even then, even then, when Brett Farve did, we had

513
00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:51,280
Speaker 1: to continue his career. The fans hated him because he

514
00:28:51,400 --> 00:28:53,640
Speaker 1: ended up in Minnesota. I think Rogers doesn't want to

515
00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:55,640
Speaker 1: be the subject of that ire, even though it'll be

516
00:28:55,760 --> 00:28:57,880
Speaker 1: fixed in four or five years and they'll welcome him back.

517
00:28:57,920 --> 00:28:59,680
Speaker 1: He doesn't want to go through that, so he's trying

518
00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:03,600
Speaker 1: to get the fans on his side and against the

519
00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:06,040
Speaker 1: front office. I really think that's why he said what

520
00:29:06,120 --> 00:29:09,560
Speaker 1: he said, because we know that, you know, football is

521
00:29:09,560 --> 00:29:11,760
Speaker 1: a cold heart ruthless business. It's not about the people.

522
00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:13,320
Speaker 1: It's about the people as long as the people can

523
00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:15,520
Speaker 1: help you. The moment they can't, it's about other people.

524
00:29:15,560 --> 00:29:17,840
Speaker 1: And that's the way it goes. It's a constant revolving door.

525
00:29:20,760 --> 00:29:23,560
Speaker 1: Why not just come out and say he could say

526
00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:29,480
Speaker 1: all of these things, the fans, the tradition, everything, and

527
00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:32,720
Speaker 1: then say, but you know, it's about trust and I

528
00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:35,040
Speaker 1: you know, the front office doesn't have trust in me,

529
00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:37,400
Speaker 1: and how that went down, and it's best that I

530
00:29:37,520 --> 00:29:40,960
Speaker 1: move on. They drafted Jordan Love and I love him

531
00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:43,160
Speaker 1: and I hope he gets a chance. He's a good kid.

532
00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:46,680
Speaker 1: But it feels like, you know what, they bet against me.

533
00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:48,480
Speaker 1: They didn't think I was going to be good and

534
00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:52,640
Speaker 1: I'm the MVP, and that's okay. I hate leaving, but

535
00:29:53,040 --> 00:29:55,360
Speaker 1: you know what, they can move on and all move on,

536
00:29:55,560 --> 00:29:58,000
Speaker 1: and I hope to see you down the road. Well,

537
00:29:58,040 --> 00:29:59,920
Speaker 1: first of all, you can't have a beautiful mystery if

538
00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:03,480
Speaker 1: you don't contribute to the beautiful mystery by saying vague

539
00:30:03,520 --> 00:30:06,520
Speaker 1: and ambiguous things. But you touched on something there. Dan.

540
00:30:07,080 --> 00:30:10,160
Speaker 1: At one point, Rogers said that he threw a wrench

541
00:30:10,200 --> 00:30:13,680
Speaker 1: in their plans by winning the MVP. I think he

542
00:30:13,880 --> 00:30:16,480
Speaker 1: believes that they were going to transition from him to

543
00:30:16,600 --> 00:30:19,560
Speaker 1: Jordan Love after one season. Yes, Rogers was on the

544
00:30:19,640 --> 00:30:22,200
Speaker 1: way down. They saw maybe some signs of slippage in

545
00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:25,480
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen, even though they went thirteen and three. And look,

546
00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:27,920
Speaker 1: you don't trade up to get Jordan Love in round

547
00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:29,800
Speaker 1: one unless you got a plan for the guy. You know,

548
00:30:29,840 --> 00:30:32,000
Speaker 1: what the hell, we we got a pretty good team.

549
00:30:32,120 --> 00:30:33,960
Speaker 1: We don't need to make it any better to get

550
00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:36,160
Speaker 1: to the next level. Let's just go ahead and waste

551
00:30:36,160 --> 00:30:38,600
Speaker 1: a couple of draft picks on a first round prospect

552
00:30:38,680 --> 00:30:40,560
Speaker 1: at quarterback and we'll see if he turns into anything.

553
00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:43,840
Speaker 1: They had a plan, and he believes they delayed their plan,

554
00:30:44,440 --> 00:30:48,000
Speaker 1: and now he's taking the initiative because they want him

555
00:30:48,040 --> 00:30:50,480
Speaker 1: on a year to year arrangement. They like having the

556
00:30:50,560 --> 00:30:53,600
Speaker 1: ability after each season to say do we keep him

557
00:30:53,880 --> 00:30:55,760
Speaker 1: or do we go with Jordan's Love? And I think

558
00:30:55,840 --> 00:30:58,480
Speaker 1: fundamentally what Rogers wants or want it. I don't know

559
00:30:58,520 --> 00:31:00,800
Speaker 1: what he wants now, but at some point he wanted

560
00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:04,240
Speaker 1: a commitment that would tie the team to him for

561
00:31:04,400 --> 00:31:06,360
Speaker 1: multiple years, because at the thing then he's got the

562
00:31:06,480 --> 00:31:09,480
Speaker 1: right to be pissed off. He's never wavered in his

563
00:31:09,560 --> 00:31:13,800
Speaker 1: commitment to the team. He's always said Packers for life, Plato,

564
00:31:14,160 --> 00:31:17,280
Speaker 1: I'm forty or beyond. He's never done the Brett Farve

565
00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:20,560
Speaker 1: will I or won't I? And I think he thought

566
00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:23,400
Speaker 1: that made him immune to this type of treatment and

567
00:31:23,880 --> 00:31:27,120
Speaker 1: he's still dealing with it fourteen months later, Mike Florio

568
00:31:27,160 --> 00:31:29,680
Speaker 1: Pro Football Talk Live co host. But then I started

569
00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:33,320
Speaker 1: to look at trade scenarios. Why go to Denver? If

570
00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:36,720
Speaker 1: Denver has to give up what a couple of first

571
00:31:36,840 --> 00:31:40,680
Speaker 1: round picks, maybe a player a starter on defense, So

572
00:31:40,760 --> 00:31:44,080
Speaker 1: you're gonna go there and live happily ever after this

573
00:31:44,280 --> 00:31:47,680
Speaker 1: is in Peyton Manning going to the Broncos. Well, the

574
00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:49,280
Speaker 1: Broncos are a pretty good team if they would have

575
00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:51,640
Speaker 1: a pretty good quarterback to go along with it. And yeah,

576
00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:54,200
Speaker 1: if you start giving up future first round picks, that

577
00:31:54,600 --> 00:31:58,000
Speaker 1: undermine your ability to get better moving forward. But there

578
00:31:58,120 --> 00:31:59,680
Speaker 1: is going to be a price to be paid if

579
00:31:59,760 --> 00:32:01,840
Speaker 1: they trade him. And you know, I made the argument

580
00:32:01,960 --> 00:32:04,920
Speaker 1: last weekday and that this is the best time for

581
00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:07,120
Speaker 1: the Packers to trade him. I don't think they ever

582
00:32:07,280 --> 00:32:10,200
Speaker 1: get more for him than they get coming off of

583
00:32:10,240 --> 00:32:12,880
Speaker 1: an MVP season. I don't think they want to trade him.

584
00:32:13,200 --> 00:32:15,240
Speaker 1: I don't think they want him playing for somebody else.

585
00:32:15,640 --> 00:32:18,160
Speaker 1: I really don't. I think Mark Murphy, the CEO of

586
00:32:18,240 --> 00:32:21,479
Speaker 1: the team, his safest path is to take the position

587
00:32:21,520 --> 00:32:24,200
Speaker 1: with Aaron Rodgers. Play for us, play for no one,

588
00:32:24,320 --> 00:32:25,960
Speaker 1: and if you don't want to play for anyone, fine,

589
00:32:26,080 --> 00:32:28,640
Speaker 1: we'll take the thirty million back that we already paid you,

590
00:32:28,960 --> 00:32:32,080
Speaker 1: that you owe us, and we'll buy other players with that.

591
00:32:32,560 --> 00:32:35,040
Speaker 1: But we'll never have to worry about what you do

592
00:32:35,560 --> 00:32:37,800
Speaker 1: with another team. We'll never have to worry about after

593
00:32:37,880 --> 00:32:39,680
Speaker 1: two or three years with Denver, you end up with

594
00:32:39,720 --> 00:32:41,600
Speaker 1: the vikings of the Lions or the Bears, and then

595
00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:43,360
Speaker 1: we got to deal with you twice per year. We're

596
00:32:43,400 --> 00:32:45,840
Speaker 1: never gonna look stupid, We're never gonna look bad if

597
00:32:45,880 --> 00:32:48,400
Speaker 1: you just go home and never play again. I really

598
00:32:48,480 --> 00:32:51,800
Speaker 1: think they'd prefer Number one, he stays for another year.

599
00:32:52,160 --> 00:32:55,560
Speaker 1: Number two he never plays for anyone, and then number three,

600
00:32:55,720 --> 00:32:58,000
Speaker 1: worst case scenario, they trade him to another team. What

601
00:32:58,080 --> 00:33:02,800
Speaker 1: do you think happens? Well? I go back and forth

602
00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:05,200
Speaker 1: on this. The next big decision point is the mandatory

603
00:33:05,280 --> 00:33:07,479
Speaker 1: mini camp. He gave up five hundred thousand dollars by

604
00:33:07,520 --> 00:33:10,400
Speaker 1: skipping the offseason program, and I know he's got a

605
00:33:10,480 --> 00:33:13,560
Speaker 1: crapload of money, but you always take another five hundred

606
00:33:13,560 --> 00:33:15,480
Speaker 1: thousand dollars if you can get it for showing up

607
00:33:15,480 --> 00:33:17,320
Speaker 1: and throwing a football around for a couple of weeks.

608
00:33:17,360 --> 00:33:19,400
Speaker 1: That's good money to turn your nose up at. Even

609
00:33:19,440 --> 00:33:21,120
Speaker 1: if you just give it to charity. It's five hundred

610
00:33:21,120 --> 00:33:23,480
Speaker 1: grand that he's not going to see will he show

611
00:33:23,560 --> 00:33:26,200
Speaker 1: up for a mandatory mini camp next month. I think

612
00:33:26,240 --> 00:33:28,200
Speaker 1: there's a chance he won't, and just just as a

613
00:33:28,280 --> 00:33:30,800
Speaker 1: way to test the water, see what the reaction is

614
00:33:31,040 --> 00:33:32,840
Speaker 1: if he doesn't show, And then the question is is

615
00:33:32,840 --> 00:33:34,680
Speaker 1: he going to be there for training camp? But you

616
00:33:34,720 --> 00:33:37,400
Speaker 1: know Danny was talking about being down fifteen pounds. At

617
00:33:37,480 --> 00:33:38,880
Speaker 1: some point, you got to get the armor back on

618
00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:40,239
Speaker 1: your body or you're not going to make it through

619
00:33:40,280 --> 00:33:43,040
Speaker 1: the season unscathed. There was a year Brett Farve lost

620
00:33:43,080 --> 00:33:45,360
Speaker 1: like twenty pounds and he got banged up that year.

621
00:33:45,400 --> 00:33:47,520
Speaker 1: You gotta have some thickness to play quarterback in the

622
00:33:47,640 --> 00:33:49,920
Speaker 1: NFL or you're gonna get thrown around like a rag doll.

623
00:33:51,520 --> 00:33:54,280
Speaker 1: All right, then, Julio Jones situation, at least we know

624
00:33:54,440 --> 00:33:59,959
Speaker 1: that he wants out. Well, hey, it's a great interview

625
00:34:00,160 --> 00:34:03,320
Speaker 1: technique to call someone up when you're on the air

626
00:34:03,480 --> 00:34:06,360
Speaker 1: and they don't know. That's the best way to get

627
00:34:06,440 --> 00:34:08,360
Speaker 1: to the truth. Now, it may get you in prison,

628
00:34:08,440 --> 00:34:10,640
Speaker 1: depending upon the laws of the jurisdiction where you are

629
00:34:10,719 --> 00:34:13,840
Speaker 1: when you do it. But well done. Send the pulitzer

630
00:34:13,880 --> 00:34:16,400
Speaker 1: to Shannon Sharpe for pulling that off. But you know

631
00:34:16,480 --> 00:34:18,520
Speaker 1: they manage to keep this quiet for months, But Dan,

632
00:34:18,719 --> 00:34:21,479
Speaker 1: the Falcons have been trying to trade this guy since

633
00:34:21,960 --> 00:34:25,240
Speaker 1: really actively. The Monday before the Draft, three different reporters

634
00:34:25,280 --> 00:34:27,800
Speaker 1: all at the same time put a flag in the

635
00:34:27,840 --> 00:34:29,959
Speaker 1: ground that the Falcons are willing to trade Julio Jones.

636
00:34:30,040 --> 00:34:32,720
Speaker 1: That's the team putting it out there. Here's the challenge.

637
00:34:32,960 --> 00:34:35,520
Speaker 1: They want a second round pick. How much of his

638
00:34:35,640 --> 00:34:38,520
Speaker 1: salary do they have to pay when they trade him

639
00:34:38,760 --> 00:34:41,759
Speaker 1: to get that second round pick? And what's their priority?

640
00:34:42,040 --> 00:34:46,400
Speaker 1: Maximizing draft capital or clearing the most cap space possible.

641
00:34:46,600 --> 00:34:49,239
Speaker 1: The more cap space you clear, the less money you

642
00:34:49,360 --> 00:34:52,160
Speaker 1: pay out of that fifteen point three million. That's the

643
00:34:52,280 --> 00:34:54,040
Speaker 1: less you're going to get in return for him. And

644
00:34:54,080 --> 00:34:56,160
Speaker 1: they got to figure out where their sweet spot is.

645
00:34:56,440 --> 00:34:59,040
Speaker 1: And I've got to hear of anybody who seriously interested

646
00:34:59,080 --> 00:35:00,719
Speaker 1: in him. I think they're way for the Falcons to

647
00:35:00,760 --> 00:35:04,120
Speaker 1: get more realistic in their expectations. And would they want

648
00:35:04,160 --> 00:35:06,880
Speaker 1: a first rounder? You're saying maybe second? At ben they

649
00:35:06,920 --> 00:35:08,640
Speaker 1: want a second rounder. They're saying they want a first

650
00:35:08,719 --> 00:35:11,600
Speaker 1: rounder because they want a second rounder. And again, you

651
00:35:11,640 --> 00:35:13,640
Speaker 1: get a second rounder, but you gotta pay seven million

652
00:35:13,880 --> 00:35:16,040
Speaker 1: of the fifteen point three million dollars. That's the thing.

653
00:35:16,120 --> 00:35:19,920
Speaker 1: How much how much of that cap space do they

654
00:35:20,040 --> 00:35:23,440
Speaker 1: want to eat to get the second round pick. Remember,

655
00:35:23,920 --> 00:35:25,640
Speaker 1: and I'm not saying it will come to this, but

656
00:35:25,719 --> 00:35:29,880
Speaker 1: there's a cash value for draft picks. The Texans gave

657
00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:34,680
Speaker 1: the Browns a second round pick to take Osweiler's sixteen

658
00:35:34,760 --> 00:35:37,759
Speaker 1: million guaranteed off the books four years ago. And we've

659
00:35:37,800 --> 00:35:40,360
Speaker 1: seen this with the Panthers when they traded Teddy Bridgewater

660
00:35:40,520 --> 00:35:42,840
Speaker 1: to the Broncos. They got a sixth round pick and

661
00:35:42,920 --> 00:35:45,360
Speaker 1: they paid seven of ten million dollars to get it.

662
00:35:45,840 --> 00:35:48,160
Speaker 1: How much of the fifteen point three will the Falcons

663
00:35:48,200 --> 00:35:50,400
Speaker 1: have to pay? That's really the question that I think

664
00:35:50,440 --> 00:35:54,480
Speaker 1: the Falcons would just as soon not try to answer. Yeah,

665
00:35:54,920 --> 00:35:58,160
Speaker 1: I'm trying to figure out. Could the Packers bring in

666
00:35:58,320 --> 00:36:01,520
Speaker 1: Julio Jones? Hey Dan I said this last Friday, I'll

667
00:36:01,560 --> 00:36:04,520
Speaker 1: pft live. If you want to mend fences with Aaron Rodgers,

668
00:36:04,600 --> 00:36:05,920
Speaker 1: you go to him and you say, here's what we're

669
00:36:05,960 --> 00:36:08,600
Speaker 1: gonna do. We're gonna restructure your contract. We're gonna create

670
00:36:08,680 --> 00:36:11,040
Speaker 1: some cap space. We're going to have a structure to

671
00:36:11,200 --> 00:36:13,360
Speaker 1: your deal that forces us to keep you for the

672
00:36:13,400 --> 00:36:16,400
Speaker 1: next three years. Jordan loves irrelevant. Don't worry about him anymore.

673
00:36:16,400 --> 00:36:18,680
Speaker 1: Even though he said he's not worried about him, it's

674
00:36:18,760 --> 00:36:21,640
Speaker 1: what he represents that he's worried about, not an issue.

675
00:36:21,760 --> 00:36:24,320
Speaker 1: You're not going to get thrown overboard. We're tied to

676
00:36:24,400 --> 00:36:26,920
Speaker 1: you and with the extra cap space. Oh and by

677
00:36:26,920 --> 00:36:29,160
Speaker 1: the way, we're gonna restructure Davante Adams. We free up

678
00:36:29,200 --> 00:36:31,319
Speaker 1: this money. We're gonna go get Julio Jones. We're going

679
00:36:31,400 --> 00:36:34,040
Speaker 1: all in thirteen and three each of the last two years,

680
00:36:34,239 --> 00:36:37,280
Speaker 1: NFC Championship each of the last two years. Julio Jones

681
00:36:37,320 --> 00:36:40,520
Speaker 1: puts us over the top. Let's do this. Let's men fences,

682
00:36:40,640 --> 00:36:42,640
Speaker 1: Let's rebuild the bridge. That would be an easy thing

683
00:36:42,719 --> 00:36:45,480
Speaker 1: to do, but there's no indication the packers are even

684
00:36:45,640 --> 00:36:47,719
Speaker 1: thinking about doing it. Dan, I don't know if this

685
00:36:47,920 --> 00:36:50,080
Speaker 1: is in your field of expertise, being a lawyer. But

686
00:36:50,200 --> 00:36:53,640
Speaker 1: what happened on Fox Sports one where you record somebody

687
00:36:53,840 --> 00:36:57,600
Speaker 1: in the state of California that's against the law. Oh,

688
00:36:57,960 --> 00:37:01,000
Speaker 1: it's two party state, two party consents. States are one party.

689
00:37:01,160 --> 00:37:03,800
Speaker 1: Some states are two party. Oh Dan, I'm I'm well aware.

690
00:37:04,320 --> 00:37:06,520
Speaker 1: I'm well aware of that. And I don't know if

691
00:37:06,520 --> 00:37:08,640
Speaker 1: you guys have tried to get the clip from FS one,

692
00:37:08,719 --> 00:37:11,239
Speaker 1: but apparently they're not giving out the clips. So I

693
00:37:11,400 --> 00:37:15,680
Speaker 1: suspect there's an appreciation within the building that maybe something

694
00:37:15,760 --> 00:37:17,400
Speaker 1: happened that shouldn't have happened. All you got to do

695
00:37:17,560 --> 00:37:19,120
Speaker 1: right out of the gates to say we're on the air.

696
00:37:19,239 --> 00:37:20,640
Speaker 1: But if you do that, you may you may not

697
00:37:20,760 --> 00:37:22,360
Speaker 1: get the answer that you want to the question that

698
00:37:22,440 --> 00:37:24,880
Speaker 1: you ask. By the way, if you ordered your tebow jersey,

699
00:37:25,760 --> 00:37:28,880
Speaker 1: I have. I've ordered five of them, okay, one for

700
00:37:29,800 --> 00:37:33,040
Speaker 1: every member of the family and two for me, So

701
00:37:33,320 --> 00:37:35,000
Speaker 1: you know, if I gain a little way, it'll still

702
00:37:35,239 --> 00:37:36,719
Speaker 1: it'll still fit. Or if I want to wear a

703
00:37:36,760 --> 00:37:38,480
Speaker 1: sweater under it or something that won't, it won't be

704
00:37:38,520 --> 00:37:41,400
Speaker 1: too tight. See, I think you're being very sarcastic here.

705
00:37:41,440 --> 00:37:46,000
Speaker 1: I've ordered a tebow jersey Mike eighty five and fifteen,

706
00:37:46,560 --> 00:37:49,200
Speaker 1: although if you read the fine print when you order

707
00:37:49,239 --> 00:37:53,280
Speaker 1: the jersey, it won't be shipped until after his number

708
00:37:53,360 --> 00:37:55,839
Speaker 1: becomes official. See, it's not going to be eighty five.

709
00:37:56,360 --> 00:37:58,520
Speaker 1: Once they dumped Gardner Minshew, he's going to be in

710
00:37:58,600 --> 00:38:01,759
Speaker 1: number fifteen. That when you get your jersey just in

711
00:38:01,840 --> 00:38:06,080
Speaker 1: time for them to cut him. What happened to Gardner? Minshew? Well, look,

712
00:38:07,680 --> 00:38:10,720
Speaker 1: I was a big proponent after the twenty nineteenth season

713
00:38:10,800 --> 00:38:15,319
Speaker 1: of keeping everything in place, coach GM quarterback. Let's give

714
00:38:15,400 --> 00:38:18,200
Speaker 1: this sixth round guy from Washington State a chance to

715
00:38:18,320 --> 00:38:20,920
Speaker 1: become whatever it is that we thought he could be.

716
00:38:21,280 --> 00:38:23,440
Speaker 1: And they won their first game, they beat the Colts,

717
00:38:23,680 --> 00:38:25,719
Speaker 1: and then the wheels came off after that. So I

718
00:38:25,800 --> 00:38:27,880
Speaker 1: think they're waiting for a trade offer for Gardner Minshew.

719
00:38:28,200 --> 00:38:30,279
Speaker 1: And as soon as that happens, they move on and

720
00:38:30,680 --> 00:38:32,960
Speaker 1: Tim Tebow's back in number fifteen where he belongs to.

721
00:38:33,239 --> 00:38:35,880
Speaker 1: What if Aaron Rodgers leave, Well, the Packers won a

722
00:38:35,960 --> 00:38:42,120
Speaker 1: quarterback in return. Well that's not That's not the best

723
00:38:42,160 --> 00:38:44,759
Speaker 1: possible endorsement of Jordan Love, is it. No? If you

724
00:38:44,840 --> 00:38:47,120
Speaker 1: want a quarterback in return, hey, come on in and

725
00:38:47,320 --> 00:38:51,680
Speaker 1: enjoy Jordan Love waiting to take your job. Oh my god.

726
00:38:52,600 --> 00:38:55,840
Speaker 1: Thank you. Mike. Great to talk to you. That's Mike Floria.
