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 --> 00:00:07,320 Speaker 1: Sports Radio. There's a new trend of player empowerment among 3 00:00:07,520 --> 00:00:11,960 Speaker 1: a very small subset of professional sports. The Hall of 4 00:00:11,960 --> 00:00:16,400 Speaker 1: Fame bound quarterback Tom Brady goes to Tampa, wants to 5 00:00:16,440 --> 00:00:19,799 Speaker 1: bring in some of his friends, and now everybody else 6 00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:23,320 Speaker 1: wants to follow suit. First, there was Russell Wilson in 7 00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:25,560 Speaker 1: Seattle right after the Super Bowl. When he came on 8 00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:30,000 Speaker 1: the show, he was watching what Tom Brady was helping build. 9 00:00:30,440 --> 00:00:35,720 Speaker 1: He was part of the architecture and he was given 10 00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:40,640 Speaker 1: that luxury. Now, Aaron Rodgers Packers quarterback talked candidly about 11 00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:43,360 Speaker 1: wanting more of a say in things that affect his job, 12 00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:47,559 Speaker 1: and he did so yesterday. And in their you know 13 00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:51,599 Speaker 1: their past, they know there was a separation of these duties. 14 00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:54,240 Speaker 1: And you can see where Rogers is coming from. Hey, 15 00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:57,480 Speaker 1: I'm the MVP. You want me to win. It's all 16 00:00:57,480 --> 00:01:00,440 Speaker 1: about quarterbacks winning Super Bowls? Can I be in? Can 17 00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:04,480 Speaker 1: I help you? Can I recruit players? I'm just not 18 00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:08,560 Speaker 1: a quarterback and that's it. Like, I want to help 19 00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:11,560 Speaker 1: build this and we'll place some of the answers that 20 00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:14,800 Speaker 1: Rogers had yesterday. He's a smart guy, and you would 21 00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:17,920 Speaker 1: think that management would want to listen to him. I 22 00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:20,280 Speaker 1: don't want to give Deshaun Watson all the power that 23 00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:23,120 Speaker 1: he was given no trade. Hey, he wants to have 24 00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:24,759 Speaker 1: a say, And who's going to be our coach? He's 25 00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:28,280 Speaker 1: twenty four, He doesn't know, he doesn't know enough to 26 00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:31,080 Speaker 1: you know. Do I want to bounce something off of him? 27 00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:34,800 Speaker 1: Does he want to be involved in the interviewing process 28 00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:37,320 Speaker 1: with our coaches? Like how much is enough? How much 29 00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:40,640 Speaker 1: is too much? How much is not enough? You know, 30 00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:44,920 Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes has he earned the right well because he's 31 00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:47,240 Speaker 1: a great quarterback. We feel like he has. He's still 32 00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:50,520 Speaker 1: only twenty four, twenty five years of age. Aaron Rodgers 33 00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:54,000 Speaker 1: is thirty seven. You know, Brady is forty three going 34 00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:57,760 Speaker 1: on forty four. They've been around. Do I want to 35 00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:00,680 Speaker 1: listen to them as a sounding board? Certainly is a 36 00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:05,360 Speaker 1: free agent and have them recruit those free agents. You're 37 00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:09,519 Speaker 1: not getting a lot of free agents going to Green Bay. 38 00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:12,800 Speaker 1: But they do well in the draft. I mean, they've 39 00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:16,399 Speaker 1: done really well in the draft. But now they want 40 00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:18,560 Speaker 1: to bring in Randall Cobb. All right, If Aaron Rodgers 41 00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:21,400 Speaker 1: wants to bring in Randall Cobb, then this is on 42 00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:24,160 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers all right and make it work. You want him, 43 00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:28,880 Speaker 1: you got him, and maybe just being a part of 44 00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:32,320 Speaker 1: the process. I mean, that's really the important part of 45 00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:35,640 Speaker 1: all of this is just hey, I'm your am, I 46 00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:37,920 Speaker 1: your guy, I am I in the future. Here can 47 00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:40,400 Speaker 1: I help you bring in a free agent? Imagine if 48 00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:44,600 Speaker 1: you're a free agent offensive lineman, Aaron Rodgers calls you, 49 00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:48,120 Speaker 1: or a free agent wide receiver Aaron Rodgers calls you. 50 00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:52,280 Speaker 1: I gotta believe that that might help the process here 51 00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:55,520 Speaker 1: a little bit. I mean, Brady was doing this with 52 00:02:55,560 --> 00:03:02,640 Speaker 1: Gronk Grunk, could have been Super Bowl MVP Antonio Brown 53 00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:05,400 Speaker 1: and who knows what else is going on behind the 54 00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:08,720 Speaker 1: scenes there. But if you get that call, I mean, 55 00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:11,079 Speaker 1: that can tip the scales here. And I think that's 56 00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:14,200 Speaker 1: what you heard yesterday in what I thought was a 57 00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:19,160 Speaker 1: it was surgery yesterday that Aaron Rodgers performed on the 58 00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:23,040 Speaker 1: Packers and this situation. He was very calm, and it 59 00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:27,160 Speaker 1: was almost in a methodical way, well thought out. This 60 00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:31,040 Speaker 1: is what's happened. And you know, you're just going, okay, 61 00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:34,520 Speaker 1: you know, I'm not I'm not angry in anybody as 62 00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:36,840 Speaker 1: much as I'm just letting you know, this is where 63 00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:39,280 Speaker 1: I was, this is where I am, this is what 64 00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:42,080 Speaker 1: I've gone through, this is what I was told. And 65 00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:45,360 Speaker 1: he starts reciting some of the other players in the 66 00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:48,760 Speaker 1: organization and how they were treated. You know, he mentioned 67 00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:53,560 Speaker 1: Charles Woodson, mentioned Clay Matthews, John Coon. You know, he 68 00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:57,040 Speaker 1: had his he did his homework here. He was prepared 69 00:03:57,120 --> 00:04:01,880 Speaker 1: for that press conference. And I think the fact that 70 00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:05,880 Speaker 1: he was not considering retirement as much as he was 71 00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:11,200 Speaker 1: exploring what it is. He investigated retirement and those are 72 00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:13,560 Speaker 1: his words. He actually talked to some of his former 73 00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:18,080 Speaker 1: teammates and I think some people outside of football, and 74 00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:22,120 Speaker 1: he had this to say about possibly quitting. Yeah, that's 75 00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:24,800 Speaker 1: definitely something I thought about. You know, I talked about 76 00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:28,040 Speaker 1: how important being a full timer was for a long time. 77 00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:30,719 Speaker 1: This was the first time to spend the off season 78 00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:34,360 Speaker 1: away without a COVID year or a lockout year, and 79 00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:36,640 Speaker 1: I enjoyed it, you know, I really did. I took 80 00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:39,800 Speaker 1: time working on myself and however, there's still a big 81 00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:41,919 Speaker 1: competitive hole in my body that I need to fill. 82 00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:45,280 Speaker 1: And as I got back into my workouts, I just 83 00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:48,000 Speaker 1: realized that I know I can still play, and I 84 00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:49,680 Speaker 1: want to still play. And as long as I feel 85 00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:51,760 Speaker 1: like I can give one hundred percent to the team, 86 00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:54,640 Speaker 1: then I should still play. And also I think we 87 00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:58,040 Speaker 1: thought that something was imminent on draft night when Adam 88 00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:01,480 Speaker 1: Schefter reported that, you know, Rodgers once out of Green Bay. 89 00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:05,040 Speaker 1: Rogers said it didn't start on draft night. It started 90 00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:10,599 Speaker 1: back in February. This wasn't, you know, a draft day thing. 91 00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:14,880 Speaker 1: This was started with a conversation in February. And I 92 00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:18,560 Speaker 1: just expressed, you know, my desire to be more involved 93 00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:23,279 Speaker 1: in conversation directly affecting my job. And that's what's interesting. 94 00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:26,200 Speaker 1: So you know, you're talking about is he going to 95 00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:28,000 Speaker 1: stay there? Do they want him to stay there? Am 96 00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:32,080 Speaker 1: I part of the long term plan here? And they 97 00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:36,240 Speaker 1: He had asked for some kind of input, and Brian Gudokun, 98 00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:39,800 Speaker 1: the GM the previous day acknowledged that they really didn't 99 00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:42,760 Speaker 1: listen to him, but they're going to listen to him now. 100 00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:46,599 Speaker 1: He also talked about, you know, not wanting to be 101 00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:49,440 Speaker 1: that lame duck quarterback that you drafted my replacement, my 102 00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:53,040 Speaker 1: eventual successor you know, do you want me long term? 103 00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:55,000 Speaker 1: And he had this to say about that, as I 104 00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:57,960 Speaker 1: felt like, if you can't commit to me past twenty 105 00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:00,880 Speaker 1: twenty one, and I'm not a part of recruiting process 106 00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:03,640 Speaker 1: and for agency, if I'm not a part of the future, 107 00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:06,520 Speaker 1: instead of letting me be a lamed a quarterback. If 108 00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:08,520 Speaker 1: you want to make a change and move forward, but 109 00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:12,839 Speaker 1: then go ahead and do it, that obviously didn't happen. Also, 110 00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:15,880 Speaker 1: there are people and I understand this locally in green 111 00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:19,120 Speaker 1: Bay in Wisconsin, they had a little bit of a 112 00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:23,320 Speaker 1: problem with this comment from Rogers talking about green Bay. 113 00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:30,960 Speaker 1: I've tried to pass along information hasn't really been used, 114 00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:33,120 Speaker 1: shall we say so? I want to offer from my 115 00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:36,719 Speaker 1: services as a recruiter, and I think we can all understand. 116 00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:40,280 Speaker 1: You know, green Bay isn't a huge vacation destination. People 117 00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:42,719 Speaker 1: are coming here to play with me, to play with 118 00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:45,440 Speaker 1: our team and knowing that they can win a championship here. 119 00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:47,720 Speaker 1: And the fact that I haven't been using those discussions 120 00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:51,719 Speaker 1: was one I wanted to change moving forward. He's not 121 00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:54,720 Speaker 1: digging green Bay in my opinion, He's just stating fact 122 00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:57,800 Speaker 1: and he's saying, hey, because of this, I want to 123 00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:02,599 Speaker 1: be even more involved in recruiting players here. When Reggie 124 00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:07,200 Speaker 1: White joined the Packers, it was such a huge moment 125 00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:10,720 Speaker 1: that you had a big time pre agent, Hall of 126 00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:15,160 Speaker 1: Famer African American who decided to go to Green Bay. 127 00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:19,320 Speaker 1: It was big. It was huge. We're like, wait, he 128 00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:22,320 Speaker 1: picked there? And I think Reggie said God told me 129 00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:26,360 Speaker 1: to pick Green Bay and he helped them win a 130 00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:29,880 Speaker 1: Super Bowl. But I at them in the moment you're thinking, 131 00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:36,280 Speaker 1: and Reggie White is going to Green Bay. Aaron Rodgers 132 00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:40,520 Speaker 1: also talked about the media and how much was fact 133 00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:43,360 Speaker 1: and how much was fiction. I thought that this was 134 00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:45,640 Speaker 1: going to be brought up at the press conference, and 135 00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:49,560 Speaker 1: Aaron did not disappoint. The media loves to make stories 136 00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:52,040 Speaker 1: when there's not enough content to put out there. You know, 137 00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:54,040 Speaker 1: there were times I could have said something, but I 138 00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:58,440 Speaker 1: firmly believe that there is wisdom in silence. Also, I 139 00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:02,480 Speaker 1: love this city, this organization. I felt like handling things 140 00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:04,240 Speaker 1: behind closed doors was the right way to do it. 141 00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:07,360 Speaker 1: There were some leaks, for sure, I can promise you 142 00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:12,440 Speaker 1: I didn't have a part in any of those. All right, Okay, 143 00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:16,120 Speaker 1: I thought it was really well done. It was a 144 00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:21,320 Speaker 1: candid conversation and I think he touched on just about everything. 145 00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:24,040 Speaker 1: I want to know a little bit more about when 146 00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:26,800 Speaker 1: were you told you were going to be traded. Did 147 00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:28,320 Speaker 1: you have a say and who you're going to be 148 00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:30,440 Speaker 1: traded to? Do you have a say and who you're 149 00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:33,199 Speaker 1: going to be traded to? Now? Because I think Rogers 150 00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:36,160 Speaker 1: said no, I don't have that understanding that I get 151 00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:39,080 Speaker 1: to pick where I want to go if they decide 152 00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:41,720 Speaker 1: to trade me. But I thought he answered a lot 153 00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:45,040 Speaker 1: of questions. There's a lot of questions left to be answered. 154 00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:49,200 Speaker 1: Feels like it's Super Bowl or Bust for them. Davante 155 00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:53,080 Speaker 1: Adams situation. If I'm Davanta Adams, I don't care about 156 00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:57,400 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers situation. I care about my situation, Davanta Adams. 157 00:08:57,640 --> 00:09:01,400 Speaker 1: If you can get paid, get paid. I know that 158 00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:03,960 Speaker 1: you know they had the last dance, that cryptic message 159 00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:06,480 Speaker 1: that hey it's a Jordan and Pippin. Well it might 160 00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:08,880 Speaker 1: be the last dance for Rogers, It's not gonna be 161 00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:11,880 Speaker 1: the last dance for Davanta Adams. I don't think that 162 00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:15,760 Speaker 1: they go, hey, you know what, we'll trade you guys together. 163 00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:20,880 Speaker 1: How's that that ain't happening, Davantae Adams. Get your money, 164 00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:25,280 Speaker 1: don't risk getting injured, get paid. And if Green Bay 165 00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:27,200 Speaker 1: is gonna make you the highest paid wide receiver or 166 00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:29,960 Speaker 1: that's what you want. Hopefully you get that because you've 167 00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:32,839 Speaker 1: certainly earned that. All right, we'll come up with a 168 00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:34,679 Speaker 1: poll question, play of the day, stat of the day. 169 00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:37,640 Speaker 1: We'll check in with the Packers coming up. Not everybody 170 00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:42,480 Speaker 1: sold on Randall Cobb being. Wow, that's a great pick up. 171 00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:46,200 Speaker 1: Pete Doherty covers the Packers. He'll join us coming up. 172 00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:48,880 Speaker 1: I don't know if he's all in on Randall Cobb being, 173 00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:51,840 Speaker 1: but raise your hand if you knew where Randall Cobb 174 00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:57,640 Speaker 1: was playing last year exactly. I thought that he was 175 00:09:57,679 --> 00:10:00,240 Speaker 1: still in Dallas and it was like, wait, oh, no, 176 00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:03,800 Speaker 1: he's in Texas. Oh he Texans? Okay, yes, I couldn't 177 00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:06,120 Speaker 1: believe he's only thirty. I thought he was like around 178 00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:08,959 Speaker 1: with far back in the day. Doesn't feel like they 179 00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:13,720 Speaker 1: just they cycle through these these receivers. Yeah, but he's 180 00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:15,560 Speaker 1: been in the league I think for eight years. Yeah, Paul, 181 00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:18,840 Speaker 1: you imagine Randall Cobb's joy to be good off Houston 182 00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:22,120 Speaker 1: this year? Oh my god. Yeah, it's like wait, what 183 00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:27,280 Speaker 1: what what did Aaron say? Hey, Amy, don't pay me? Yes? Um, 184 00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:30,839 Speaker 1: but I thought it was well done. Um. You know, 185 00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:35,640 Speaker 1: it's it's not often that you hear these Marquis athletes 186 00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:39,199 Speaker 1: being totally honest with you, and he made a lot 187 00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:43,160 Speaker 1: of sense here. It wasn't one of those where hey, 188 00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:47,520 Speaker 1: I'm mad, like I want people to understand my displeasure. 189 00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:50,040 Speaker 1: I want to have a say. I want to have 190 00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:52,800 Speaker 1: a seat at the table. And this is all based 191 00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:57,760 Speaker 1: off of Tom Brady because Russell Wilson said the same thing. 192 00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:01,840 Speaker 1: Here's Aaron Rodgers. There's going to be other quarterbacks. Deshaun 193 00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:03,480 Speaker 1: Watson wanted to have to say, and who is going 194 00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:06,120 Speaker 1: to be a coach. I'm sure Patrick Mahomes went in 195 00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:08,959 Speaker 1: and said, you have to get me lineman. Let me, 196 00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:11,120 Speaker 1: let me be part of the process here, let me 197 00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:15,240 Speaker 1: help out here. Ben Roethlisberger like these guys that are 198 00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:18,000 Speaker 1: gonna want to have a say as long as they can. 199 00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:20,280 Speaker 1: And at what point do you go, aren't you've earned it? 200 00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:22,520 Speaker 1: Do you have to win a super Bowl and then 201 00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:26,240 Speaker 1: you can have a say in personnel decisions? But I 202 00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:30,880 Speaker 1: would want to know why Aaron Rodgers wants Randall com 203 00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:34,480 Speaker 1: or Jake Kumeroau Like, I would just want to know, 204 00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:38,240 Speaker 1: you know, what kind of lineman do you want? Hey, 205 00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:41,000 Speaker 1: we really like this lineman. Now I don't know if 206 00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:44,600 Speaker 1: I want him in there dealing with contract negotiations. I 207 00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:46,600 Speaker 1: don't know if I want him in there talking about 208 00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:52,040 Speaker 1: the draft. But if he can call a free agent, sure, 209 00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:56,600 Speaker 1: why wouldn't I if he's willing to do it. How 210 00:11:56,600 --> 00:11:59,600 Speaker 1: about you call a defensive back that you've gone against 211 00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:02,520 Speaker 1: and then you say, hey, I know you're probably tired 212 00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:04,520 Speaker 1: of me torching you. How about you come in and 213 00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:08,760 Speaker 1: play for the Packers and I'll only torch you in practice? Yeah? 214 00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:11,640 Speaker 1: Speak is it? Part of the problem is that front 215 00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:13,920 Speaker 1: offices have to be cut through like the Patriots. They 216 00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:17,360 Speaker 1: have to cut people where Aaron Rodgers isn't gonna want 217 00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:19,280 Speaker 1: to cut his buddies. So how much input can you 218 00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:22,880 Speaker 1: really give up? I know it is dangerous, yes, but 219 00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:25,839 Speaker 1: I don't know necessarily that they're looking for input from 220 00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:29,079 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers on people's like contract, like who are you 221 00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:31,079 Speaker 1: gonna cut? What makes the sense for the cap and 222 00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:33,000 Speaker 1: all of that, Like that's what their job is. But 223 00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:35,200 Speaker 1: they should go to him and be like, do you 224 00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:37,240 Speaker 1: like this wide receiver? We were thinking about him? And 225 00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:39,720 Speaker 1: he'd say, no, I don't. He runs his routes sloppy 226 00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:41,280 Speaker 1: or something. You know what? I mean he might have 227 00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:45,400 Speaker 1: insight into these individual players as a player that they 228 00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:49,160 Speaker 1: should find valuable. Oh, I would. And if you said 229 00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:53,640 Speaker 1: offensive lineman, I mean it could be a defensive player. 230 00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:57,760 Speaker 1: I mean, if I'm going to tap into Aaron Rodgers, 231 00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:01,600 Speaker 1: he knows these defensive players like you know who always 232 00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:05,079 Speaker 1: gives me trouble, I mean this guy or you know, 233 00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:09,840 Speaker 1: it'd be great to get this guy. Here's why. I 234 00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:15,280 Speaker 1: just think, over the course of fifteen sixteen years, you know, 235 00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:17,679 Speaker 1: that's a pretty good rolodex on players that you can 236 00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:21,520 Speaker 1: help out. And if it's somebody who maybe we don't 237 00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:24,000 Speaker 1: see their brilliance, maybe you don't see how great they are, 238 00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:26,880 Speaker 1: maybe he can tell you. He can warn you about somebody. 239 00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:30,560 Speaker 1: Maybe he can tell you I'll make him better. Those 240 00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:33,640 Speaker 1: are things that I've said that many, many times about 241 00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:36,920 Speaker 1: Russell Wilson. I don't know if an organization put as 242 00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:39,679 Speaker 1: much pressure on a quarterback as Seattle did with russ 243 00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:43,920 Speaker 1: because they built up the defense, they didn't have great 244 00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:48,280 Speaker 1: marquee offensive players. Marshawn Lynch was a very good running back, 245 00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:52,520 Speaker 1: but since then they've gone through a few dk Metcalfe 246 00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:56,560 Speaker 1: was sort of a maybe Tyler Lockett not quite sure. 247 00:13:56,800 --> 00:13:59,600 Speaker 1: Is he a return guy? And then they would go 248 00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:02,280 Speaker 1: to Russ, Hey, we're down by seven, can you help 249 00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:05,640 Speaker 1: us win the game? And he wants a seat at 250 00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:07,720 Speaker 1: the table. That's why he said what he said when 251 00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:10,319 Speaker 1: he came on our show right after the super Bowl 252 00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:12,960 Speaker 1: because he was frustrated. And I think you're gonna have 253 00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:16,800 Speaker 1: more and more quarterbacks who are going to probably say, hey, 254 00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:19,720 Speaker 1: I want the same thing. Yeah, p You know, Rogers 255 00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:22,400 Speaker 1: asked for stuff. You know how people overcompensate sometimes. What 256 00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:24,920 Speaker 1: if management start to ask him about everything? Like, Hey, Aaron, 257 00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:27,880 Speaker 1: we got concessions. Wants a new cheese curd vendor. The 258 00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:29,720 Speaker 1: cheese curd guys are not doing it. You got any 259 00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:32,000 Speaker 1: contact in the cheese curd community. We're going with a 260 00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:34,400 Speaker 1: new one. You went in on the meeting meeting ten am. Hey, 261 00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:36,520 Speaker 1: I got a friend who wants to sell beer at 262 00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:39,680 Speaker 1: the stadium. You know, can he can he get a job? 263 00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:43,400 Speaker 1: I don't know. He's gonna have to apply like everybody else. Aaron, 264 00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:46,640 Speaker 1: check out this stack of resumes. What I gotta play 265 00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:51,400 Speaker 1: some football? Yeah? Hey, parking lot attendant? What do you think? Aaron? 266 00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:56,040 Speaker 1: All right, bring him in, let me talk to him. 267 00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:58,320 Speaker 1: A little bit of a snapfoo out there and security 268 00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:01,960 Speaker 1: just cut. Are you okay with the A punch card system? Steve? 269 00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:04,360 Speaker 1: Before we officially hire you, We're gonna bring into this 270 00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:09,480 Speaker 1: room for the final act, Rogers Rogers There. Be sure 271 00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:12,000 Speaker 1: to catch the live edition of The Dan Patrick Show 272 00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:15,200 Speaker 1: week days at nine am Eastern six am Pacific on 273 00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:19,160 Speaker 1: Flox Sports Radio and the iHeart Radio WAP. Pete Norty 274 00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:22,480 Speaker 1: is covering the Packers columnists for the Green Bay Presscuazette 275 00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:25,760 Speaker 1: USA today as well. Pete, where do you want to 276 00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:27,920 Speaker 1: start on this situation with her? How about we pick 277 00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:30,600 Speaker 1: up where I was I left off there with Aaron 278 00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:33,880 Speaker 1: talking about former players and how they were treated. What's 279 00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:38,560 Speaker 1: the message he's sending there? Yeah, you know, I'm I'm 280 00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:43,480 Speaker 1: on board with your take there. You know, I understand. 281 00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:47,400 Speaker 1: I totally get why these quarterbacks want to say in personnel, 282 00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:50,440 Speaker 1: Rogers is really smart. He's played in the league forever. 283 00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:53,880 Speaker 1: He's one of the best players in the league, So 284 00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:55,880 Speaker 1: I understand why he would want to say, and you 285 00:15:55,920 --> 00:15:58,240 Speaker 1: know whose receivers are and all that. But like I said, 286 00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:02,040 Speaker 1: like I said, you attached to guys and football, you 287 00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:04,520 Speaker 1: have to be ruthless about personnel. I mean, going back 288 00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:07,520 Speaker 1: to even Lombardi, he was ruthless with guys until the 289 00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:09,640 Speaker 1: very end. That last team he had was pretty old, 290 00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:12,880 Speaker 1: but he basically through most of the sixties was based 291 00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:15,560 Speaker 1: he'd tell guys, time for you to retire. You know, 292 00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:19,600 Speaker 1: really good, great players, all the fame players. So you 293 00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:22,840 Speaker 1: get attached to guys and you keep them too long, 294 00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:27,240 Speaker 1: and in the NFL, guys go from being pretty good 295 00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:31,360 Speaker 1: it's not very good. It happens fast, and you've got 296 00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:35,640 Speaker 1: to be proactive about turning your roster and moving on 297 00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:37,800 Speaker 1: from those guys, regardless of what they did for you, 298 00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:39,960 Speaker 1: no matter how much you love them and how good 299 00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:43,000 Speaker 1: they were. And so that's the danger of giving a 300 00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:48,120 Speaker 1: quarterback a lot of say in personnel decisions. That's why 301 00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:51,080 Speaker 1: you even have a GM and a coach, because the 302 00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:53,240 Speaker 1: coach gets attached to guys and the GM has a 303 00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:59,480 Speaker 1: little more distance. There are you did yesterday's press conference 304 00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:02,560 Speaker 1: make you lean one where another about Rogers playing you 305 00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:08,520 Speaker 1: know longer than this upcoming season with the Packers. You mean, yeah, 306 00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:12,440 Speaker 1: didn't really change my thinking, but it kind of reinforced 307 00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:15,240 Speaker 1: as of right now. I mean, it just looks really 308 00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:19,200 Speaker 1: unlikely that he'll meet their quarterback in twenty twenty two. 309 00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:22,680 Speaker 1: But I will say, you know, the NFL, it's a 310 00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:25,200 Speaker 1: little bit like a Season's a little bit like dog years, right, 311 00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:27,639 Speaker 1: I mean six and a half months, Who knows what 312 00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:31,320 Speaker 1: could happen. Maybe they do things and could lean on 313 00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:33,560 Speaker 1: him more in personnel than they have up to this 314 00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:36,800 Speaker 1: point and decisions at least, listen to them more. And 315 00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:39,480 Speaker 1: maybe they won a super Bowl and maybe he would 316 00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:41,640 Speaker 1: see winning a super Bowl is the perfect way to leave. 317 00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:43,400 Speaker 1: Or maybe he'd see that they have a really good 318 00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:45,320 Speaker 1: team and would think they could win two or three more. 319 00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:48,639 Speaker 1: So the landscape could change dramatically in six and a 320 00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:50,320 Speaker 1: half months. But right now, if you had to bet, 321 00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:53,320 Speaker 1: you'd have to bet that this will be his last 322 00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:56,520 Speaker 1: season with the team. If your management, do you let 323 00:17:56,560 --> 00:18:00,920 Speaker 1: the comments just kind of settle and you move on 324 00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:04,000 Speaker 1: from this? Does management come back and offer up a 325 00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:08,120 Speaker 1: rebuttal to anything that Rogers said yesterday? I don't think 326 00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:14,240 Speaker 1: I would, you know, if you want to be real 327 00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:17,480 Speaker 1: subtle about it, I just would do nothing to inflame 328 00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:21,200 Speaker 1: the situation. You know, he deserved to have his say. 329 00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:23,520 Speaker 1: I think he. I wonder if he felt it was 330 00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:26,520 Speaker 1: kind of Cathartic for him to finally publicly, you know, 331 00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:28,760 Speaker 1: air what his grievances were, instead of having at all, 332 00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:31,000 Speaker 1: you know, be mysterious. But no, I think I would 333 00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:33,040 Speaker 1: just let it lie because if you're the team, the 334 00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:36,040 Speaker 1: most important thing is the guy showed up. He showed 335 00:18:36,119 --> 00:18:38,399 Speaker 1: up on time. He's got a lot to play for. 336 00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:41,159 Speaker 1: I think he does like the coach and the staff 337 00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:44,320 Speaker 1: and his teammates and they you know, I mean you 338 00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:46,800 Speaker 1: look at their personnel and what they did last year, 339 00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:49,080 Speaker 1: and with him at quarterback, I mean you got to 340 00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:52,080 Speaker 1: think that their chances objectively looking at it, their chances 341 00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:55,200 Speaker 1: are about as good as anybody's, aren't they. What would 342 00:18:55,240 --> 00:19:00,359 Speaker 1: inflame the situation from management's side of this, Oh if 343 00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:04,359 Speaker 1: you you know, disputed any of the factual things he 344 00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:08,280 Speaker 1: said or his characterizations about not being listened to. The 345 00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:10,760 Speaker 1: one thing that they might want to defend themselves about 346 00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:13,960 Speaker 1: is because they do treat players really, really well here. 347 00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:16,440 Speaker 1: Um you know, they they're treated like kings over there 348 00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:19,240 Speaker 1: and in this town they really are. So I don't 349 00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:20,960 Speaker 1: think that's the issue. I think he was talking more 350 00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:24,159 Speaker 1: about when they depart, and it's just the cold, the 351 00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:26,080 Speaker 1: cold side of it. When guys are cut or not 352 00:19:26,119 --> 00:19:28,560 Speaker 1: even offered contracts, and they've been really good players like 353 00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:31,520 Speaker 1: Clay Matthews, you know, and that's harsh. But that's the 354 00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:34,440 Speaker 1: harsh that's the NFL. That's the business. I think it's 355 00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:37,439 Speaker 1: I think it's that way with pretty much most teams, 356 00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:39,720 Speaker 1: maybe all teams, and maybe they could be a little 357 00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:41,560 Speaker 1: better about it, but they were even harsh. Or with 358 00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:45,480 Speaker 1: Ted Thompson. Now they at least made good acousts available 359 00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:48,000 Speaker 1: when they when they move on from a really good player. 360 00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:50,840 Speaker 1: Ted Thompson's just sent out a one one sentence release 361 00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:54,520 Speaker 1: saying we've cut you know, uh, you know Jordy Nelson 362 00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:57,399 Speaker 1: or however, what kind of dog you got there? I 363 00:19:57,480 --> 00:20:00,320 Speaker 1: heard the dog there. Yeah, that's Whence and he's I 364 00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:02,359 Speaker 1: got two of them. There's a cocker spaniel. There's always 365 00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:06,000 Speaker 1: a danger of doing me a marking fit could not 366 00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:08,080 Speaker 1: break out at any way. Wait, wait, you didn't name 367 00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:12,040 Speaker 1: one mccowski or I'm on Green or no, I like 368 00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:15,240 Speaker 1: I like to go with I've had like Walter and 369 00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:17,120 Speaker 1: Ed Where did I kind of go with Kingling kind 370 00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:20,160 Speaker 1: of names? This is uh, that's Winston. I got Connor too. 371 00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:23,080 Speaker 1: He's a rescue, but no, we stay away from the 372 00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:26,560 Speaker 1: backers to the names. Did people react in a way 373 00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:29,879 Speaker 1: with the local job? You know, Green Bay's not exactly 374 00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:33,920 Speaker 1: a vacation spot that the locals take that personally about. 375 00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:36,960 Speaker 1: I mean, Aaron is saying something that's factual. You're trying 376 00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:39,840 Speaker 1: to get free agents there, and no, it's probably not 377 00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:41,600 Speaker 1: the hot bed of where you want to be if 378 00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:46,280 Speaker 1: you're young single. Did people take offense to them? I saw, 379 00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:49,159 Speaker 1: you know, one or two tweets and they actually I 380 00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:51,359 Speaker 1: think two, and they both kind of looked they were 381 00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:54,280 Speaker 1: more tongue in cheek. Um, So I don't have much 382 00:20:54,280 --> 00:20:58,359 Speaker 1: else to go on. Okay, I'm guessing you know, it 383 00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:01,520 Speaker 1: might have bothered some people. I think people are realistic 384 00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:05,040 Speaker 1: enough to know that, you know, this isn't Miami. Do 385 00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:10,200 Speaker 1: we know what the packers think of Jordan Love? Not really? Um. 386 00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:13,280 Speaker 1: I think even off the record, when I talk to people, 387 00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:17,679 Speaker 1: I don't get the sense that they're really I wouldn't 388 00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:19,560 Speaker 1: believe them no matter what they said, unless they said 389 00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:23,520 Speaker 1: they didn't like him, and you know, you just and 390 00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:25,720 Speaker 1: it's hard to tell. And he didn't. He didn't get 391 00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:28,520 Speaker 1: all that many step snaps in practice. Last year. You know, 392 00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:30,440 Speaker 1: he was splitting the number two snaps in camp and 393 00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:33,600 Speaker 1: campus so short, so no, I think, and they're giving 394 00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:34,800 Speaker 1: him a lot of work. He got a lot of 395 00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:38,760 Speaker 1: work in the offseason, and I'm assuming he'll play, you know, 396 00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:40,960 Speaker 1: ninety percent of the snaps in the preseason games. I'll 397 00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:43,159 Speaker 1: be surprised if Rodgers even sits up for him. You know, 398 00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:46,399 Speaker 1: great to talk to you, and uh, you know you 399 00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:49,359 Speaker 1: got your gift yesterday with Rogers. I mean, this is 400 00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:52,760 Speaker 1: going to be a fun season to cover. It will 401 00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:56,320 Speaker 1: it'll be interesting, and it'll be hovering over him all year. 402 00:21:56,440 --> 00:21:59,600 Speaker 1: But you know, they've got a good team and so 403 00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:04,000 Speaker 1: they're are still higher.

Chris Sums Pro Football Talk Live, co 415 00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:52,280 Speaker 1: host on Peacock Form, NFL Quarterback and Football Night in America. 416 00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:55,720 Speaker 1: All Right, what came out yesterday after Aaron Rodgers press 417 00:22:55,760 --> 00:23:00,360 Speaker 1: conference where you were with Paul Allen of KFA saying 418 00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:03,240 Speaker 1: the same thing that Aaron Rodgers was told that he 419 00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:06,919 Speaker 1: was going to be traded in the offseason. Yeah, I 420 00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:10,639 Speaker 1: had always heard really going back to like when this 421 00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:14,680 Speaker 1: all became news that from other teams in the NFL, 422 00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:19,280 Speaker 1: that there was the sense out there that Rogers in 423 00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:22,439 Speaker 1: his camp were told they could start to dabble in 424 00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:25,760 Speaker 1: the convert the conversations of trading, and that they told 425 00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:28,480 Speaker 1: him that, yeah, that they might appease him that way. 426 00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:31,280 Speaker 1: So yeah, that's where I got that. I don't know, 427 00:23:31,359 --> 00:23:33,640 Speaker 1: I guess it's more news that it just came out 428 00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:36,000 Speaker 1: here yesterday or whatever else, But it's something I know 429 00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:39,679 Speaker 1: Floria had heard behind the scenes. And then as we 430 00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:42,359 Speaker 1: had this time off, and I you know, usually in 431 00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:44,480 Speaker 1: this time off, I try to catch up with coaches 432 00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:47,280 Speaker 1: and people I know around football. Of course, the Aaron 433 00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:50,880 Speaker 1: Rodgers conversation came up with a lot of different people like, man, 434 00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:53,760 Speaker 1: you believe this? Can you believe how the Packers handled this? 435 00:23:53,920 --> 00:23:56,600 Speaker 1: All those type of things, And yeah, I think that's 436 00:23:56,600 --> 00:23:58,359 Speaker 1: the one thing that's not out there kind of in 437 00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:02,359 Speaker 1: the public. Is everything I've been led to believe from 438 00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:04,520 Speaker 1: people around the NFL was he was kind of led 439 00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:08,360 Speaker 1: to believe he could find a trade partner this offseason. Now, 440 00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:11,359 Speaker 1: why didn't he say yesterday? I don't know. I don't know. 441 00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:15,080 Speaker 1: I thought he would say yesterday. But knowing Aaron Rodgers too, Dan, 442 00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:17,200 Speaker 1: I would sit there and go he is the kind 443 00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:18,840 Speaker 1: of guy that doesn't want to make it look like 444 00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:21,840 Speaker 1: he wanted out that out of there, He wanted to 445 00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:23,720 Speaker 1: leave Green Bay and look like that to the fan 446 00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:27,359 Speaker 1: base too. So again, I know this from pretty pretty 447 00:24:27,400 --> 00:24:30,400 Speaker 1: good sources that this was a real thing. And I wonder, 448 00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:34,879 Speaker 1: if you gave the Packers a mulligan right now, you 449 00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:37,399 Speaker 1: can trade him in the off season, you can change 450 00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:40,919 Speaker 1: all of this. It would they still have signed up 451 00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:42,480 Speaker 1: for this knowing they were going to get him at 452 00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:46,200 Speaker 1: least one year, or they could have traded him prior 453 00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:49,440 Speaker 1: to the draft, had more people interested, got a whole 454 00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:52,040 Speaker 1: lot more for Aaron Rodgers, right right. I think they 455 00:24:52,040 --> 00:24:54,520 Speaker 1: probably could have maximized more to your point. But I 456 00:24:54,520 --> 00:24:58,880 Speaker 1: think the other like big factor in this that and 457 00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:01,639 Speaker 1: this is some is where another thing I was told 458 00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:04,320 Speaker 1: behind the scenes from another NFL you know person I 459 00:25:04,359 --> 00:25:06,960 Speaker 1: trust and I'm friends with here and the fact that 460 00:25:07,560 --> 00:25:10,760 Speaker 1: you know, the Jordan Love aspect came into play with 461 00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:15,240 Speaker 1: that conversation as well. Dan, you know, they know he's 462 00:25:15,280 --> 00:25:18,040 Speaker 1: not ready, like we talked about back in the spring, 463 00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:21,360 Speaker 1: the fact that he never dressed for a game last year. 464 00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:24,040 Speaker 1: I mean, you might as well get a mega horn 465 00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:26,760 Speaker 1: and yell it out, like, man, he's not ready, he's raw, 466 00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:31,000 Speaker 1: he needs work. So I think that ultimately too has 467 00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:34,040 Speaker 1: led to this, like, wait, let's think about this again. 468 00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:36,720 Speaker 1: Are we gonna throw Jordan Love out there and then 469 00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:39,359 Speaker 1: make it really look like a disaster if he didn't 470 00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:41,560 Speaker 1: play well? But whoa, we got rid of Rogers and 471 00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:44,760 Speaker 1: here he is, you know, messing up our Super Bowl 472 00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:47,760 Speaker 1: NFC championship type of football team. I would have to 473 00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:49,680 Speaker 1: think that was a big part of their thinking as well. 474 00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:53,120 Speaker 1: Could you get a first round pick for Jordan Love? 475 00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:56,920 Speaker 1: Right now. No, No, I don't know why not right now? 476 00:25:57,200 --> 00:25:59,760 Speaker 1: You know the fact that he hasn't played. I think 477 00:25:59,800 --> 00:26:02,840 Speaker 1: the league was very iffy about him to begin with. 478 00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:05,800 Speaker 1: You know, there was some teams that I think loved 479 00:26:05,840 --> 00:26:08,400 Speaker 1: his high end talent. You know, I know that during 480 00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:10,359 Speaker 1: that process, and I kind of jumped on him a 481 00:26:10,359 --> 00:26:12,440 Speaker 1: little early too, because I kind of fell in love 482 00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:14,680 Speaker 1: with his highlight tape and some of the positive things 483 00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:17,439 Speaker 1: he could do. But as I dug deeper, you know, 484 00:26:17,560 --> 00:26:20,800 Speaker 1: there were issues and I had too many conversations with 485 00:26:20,880 --> 00:26:23,679 Speaker 1: too many different teams who were like, man, yeah, I 486 00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:26,240 Speaker 1: see some of that armed talent and those type of things, 487 00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:29,400 Speaker 1: but he is raw not the best decision maker. There 488 00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:31,400 Speaker 1: was a lot of work to be done. I don't 489 00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:34,120 Speaker 1: think many teams really viewed him as a first round pick, 490 00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:36,600 Speaker 1: other than maybe two or three that I know of 491 00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:39,960 Speaker 1: in the NFL. I still go back to the Rams situation, 492 00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:44,440 Speaker 1: and you know, I can't nail it down and say 493 00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:47,439 Speaker 1: that it's it's a report, but I mean he that 494 00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:50,560 Speaker 1: was right there for him before they went and got Stafford. 495 00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:53,560 Speaker 1: If you would have said to Sean McVeigh, we can 496 00:26:53,640 --> 00:26:58,399 Speaker 1: get Rogers, or you can get Sean McVeigh, or you 497 00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:02,320 Speaker 1: can get Matthew Stafford, WHOA, Well, you're gonna take Rogers. 498 00:27:02,359 --> 00:27:04,920 Speaker 1: I mean you're gonna take Rogers, but you also, I'll 499 00:27:04,920 --> 00:27:06,760 Speaker 1: give you a little caveat. You know that you might 500 00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:08,560 Speaker 1: not get him as long as Stafford. You know, that's 501 00:27:08,560 --> 00:27:10,000 Speaker 1: the one only thing we got to remember too. It 502 00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:13,159 Speaker 1: seems like Stafford's been playing since nineteen seventy four, but 503 00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:15,880 Speaker 1: he's only thirty two years old. You know, That's what's 504 00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:18,320 Speaker 1: amazing about him. He's got a long way in front 505 00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:21,480 Speaker 1: of him. But yes, I think they do take Rogers. 506 00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:24,400 Speaker 1: If that's like a guest, you can have either one. 507 00:27:24,760 --> 00:27:27,679 Speaker 1: I would think McVeigh does it. But I think it 508 00:27:27,760 --> 00:27:30,080 Speaker 1: goes back to the conversation we just had a little 509 00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:33,080 Speaker 1: bit Dan. I don't think Green Bay was really ready 510 00:27:33,119 --> 00:27:36,200 Speaker 1: at that time to get into trade talks and really 511 00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:38,919 Speaker 1: go all in on it and do those type of things. 512 00:27:39,119 --> 00:27:42,120 Speaker 1: So mcveay had to do what was best available right 513 00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:44,520 Speaker 1: now a sure thing, and that was Stafford. Of course, 514 00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:47,280 Speaker 1: he had the relationship with Brad Holmes up there, who 515 00:27:47,280 --> 00:27:49,160 Speaker 1: had just left the Rams to become the new GM 516 00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:50,919 Speaker 1: and the Detroit Lions, and he wanted to get rid 517 00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:53,480 Speaker 1: of Jared Goff as well in the process exactly. That 518 00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:56,200 Speaker 1: was a big thing, no doubt, Danny, Are you all 519 00:27:56,280 --> 00:27:58,040 Speaker 1: in on the Rams? Don't? I don't know. If I've 520 00:27:58,040 --> 00:28:00,800 Speaker 1: got you on record, I don't know. I mean I'm 521 00:28:00,880 --> 00:28:03,600 Speaker 1: a I'm all in on the Rams. I mean, yeah, Oh, 522 00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:06,280 Speaker 1: you're not all in on the Rams. You pause, like 523 00:28:06,440 --> 00:28:09,560 Speaker 1: figured out who I'm gonna pick the win divisions and 524 00:28:09,640 --> 00:28:12,560 Speaker 1: do all of that. Guest, Listen, I love the Rams 525 00:28:12,560 --> 00:28:15,080 Speaker 1: football team, of course. I think that offense is going 526 00:28:15,119 --> 00:28:17,440 Speaker 1: to be better with Matthew Stafford and all the things 527 00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:20,280 Speaker 1: that he can do. Let alone. Now McVeigh can expand 528 00:28:20,359 --> 00:28:22,680 Speaker 1: what he wants to call because of the thing Stafford 529 00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:25,040 Speaker 1: can do. I am in it. But here's my one 530 00:28:25,080 --> 00:28:28,520 Speaker 1: issue why I'm like hesitant. You know, they're an all 531 00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:31,560 Speaker 1: star team. It's it's twenty two players. There's not a 532 00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:34,040 Speaker 1: lot of depth on their team, so I always worry 533 00:28:34,080 --> 00:28:36,399 Speaker 1: about that with the Rams. They've dodged that bullet the 534 00:28:36,440 --> 00:28:38,760 Speaker 1: last two years. But they're a little like the Falcons, 535 00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:41,320 Speaker 1: except they've dodged that bullet. Where you go, man, the 536 00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:43,760 Speaker 1: starting twenty two is good, but if they lose three 537 00:28:43,880 --> 00:28:46,480 Speaker 1: or four players, they're screwed and they won't be the 538 00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:49,320 Speaker 1: same football team. And that's what I do worry about them, 539 00:28:49,360 --> 00:28:52,320 Speaker 1: and especially I mean, as you know the NFC West. 540 00:28:52,440 --> 00:28:54,840 Speaker 1: I mean, come on, it's sick how good that division 541 00:28:54,920 --> 00:29:00,200 Speaker 1: is right now? Should quarterbacks have a say yeah to 542 00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:03,680 Speaker 1: a degree, to a degree, not that they call the shots, 543 00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:09,080 Speaker 1: but I think when you're Rogers, Brady, Okay, I'll even 544 00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:11,560 Speaker 1: throw Mahomes in that category now, but you know what 545 00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:15,240 Speaker 1: I'm talking about Peyton Manning a few years into his career. 546 00:29:15,600 --> 00:29:18,480 Speaker 1: Not that you have to listen and go, oh, that's 547 00:29:18,480 --> 00:29:21,040 Speaker 1: what you want to do, but you have a conversation 548 00:29:21,080 --> 00:29:24,040 Speaker 1: with Dan. I mean, geez, Dan, I went to one 549 00:29:24,120 --> 00:29:27,240 Speaker 1: freaking playoff game and the next offseason when Gruden wanted 550 00:29:27,240 --> 00:29:29,440 Speaker 1: to do things, he would at least talk to me 551 00:29:29,480 --> 00:29:32,160 Speaker 1: about it a little bit. He wasn't gonna listen to me, 552 00:29:32,440 --> 00:29:36,040 Speaker 1: but he was gonna hear my reasoning. Coaching careers started 553 00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:38,960 Speaker 1: to go down though, way downhill right there. You know, 554 00:29:39,080 --> 00:29:42,920 Speaker 1: you listen to a dumb blunt. He got issues. But 555 00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:45,000 Speaker 1: but no, I think, and I think that's the point 556 00:29:45,080 --> 00:29:47,320 Speaker 1: Rogers is trying to make a little bit like you know, 557 00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:50,000 Speaker 1: this is where I go crazy. About the Rogers stuff, 558 00:29:50,280 --> 00:29:53,360 Speaker 1: all these comments on social media and everything that he's 559 00:29:53,400 --> 00:29:56,680 Speaker 1: a diva and a diva and adiva. And I understand it. 560 00:29:56,840 --> 00:29:59,320 Speaker 1: I understand he's not perfect and he's not the easiest 561 00:29:59,320 --> 00:30:01,760 Speaker 1: guy in the world, but damn, I look at him 562 00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:04,680 Speaker 1: as the opposite of a diva. I mean, they've never 563 00:30:04,760 --> 00:30:09,800 Speaker 1: done anything drafting free agency to help him. He signs 564 00:30:09,880 --> 00:30:14,360 Speaker 1: team friendly deals, six year contracts. It's the opposite of 565 00:30:14,360 --> 00:30:19,040 Speaker 1: a diva. Well, they do a job in drafting talent here, Chris, 566 00:30:19,080 --> 00:30:22,600 Speaker 1: you can't say they. I mean Jordy Nelson or Davante Adams, 567 00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:28,560 Speaker 1: Aaron Jones, the offensive line, Rashan Gary's like they've drafted 568 00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:32,760 Speaker 1: Rashan Gary. What damn he doesn't play. He's behind Zadarius Smith. 569 00:30:32,800 --> 00:30:35,479 Speaker 1: I Preston Smith. You know That's where I know those 570 00:30:35,520 --> 00:30:38,480 Speaker 1: are good players. I know they are, and you're listen, 571 00:30:38,600 --> 00:30:40,719 Speaker 1: You're right. I'm not trying to like yell at you. 572 00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:43,680 Speaker 1: I'm just going there needs to be more to it 573 00:30:43,760 --> 00:30:46,920 Speaker 1: than that they do. They have a great formula, that's great. 574 00:30:47,040 --> 00:30:51,360 Speaker 1: I understand that. But at the same time, like as 575 00:30:51,360 --> 00:30:53,280 Speaker 1: I think I've said to you before, I think Aaron 576 00:30:53,360 --> 00:30:56,440 Speaker 1: Rodgers the greatest quarterback for scene. I think Brett farb 577 00:30:56,600 --> 00:30:58,520 Speaker 1: is one of the top five or six I've ever seen. 578 00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:02,000 Speaker 1: They've They've won two Super Bowls with two of the 579 00:31:02,040 --> 00:31:05,120 Speaker 1: five best quarterbacks in the history of the sport. To me, hey, 580 00:31:05,120 --> 00:31:07,360 Speaker 1: the formula is great, but every now and then you 581 00:31:07,440 --> 00:31:10,400 Speaker 1: gotta go, wait, let me look at the context of 582 00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:13,520 Speaker 1: this situation, the reality of the situation, and make a 583 00:31:13,600 --> 00:31:16,680 Speaker 1: move or change. I mean, again, I don't mean I'm 584 00:31:16,720 --> 00:31:19,680 Speaker 1: not trying to hate on anybody here, but Brady had 585 00:31:19,720 --> 00:31:22,600 Speaker 1: a coach that got Derell Reavers and did all the 586 00:31:22,680 --> 00:31:25,200 Speaker 1: draft picks you talked about, and then also got Randy 587 00:31:25,240 --> 00:31:27,720 Speaker 1: Boss and made other trades and everything else in the 588 00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:30,840 Speaker 1: world to help that football team. And we really can't 589 00:31:30,880 --> 00:31:33,520 Speaker 1: say that's ever been done in Green Bay with Rogers 590 00:31:33,600 --> 00:31:35,480 Speaker 1: or anything like that. Yeah, but they're smart enough to 591 00:31:35,560 --> 00:31:40,080 Speaker 1: draft Aaron Rodgers. Yeah. Okay, he fell into their lap 592 00:31:40,200 --> 00:31:43,640 Speaker 1: at twenty five that year. Okay, right, I mean, yes, 593 00:31:43,800 --> 00:31:46,320 Speaker 1: that's that's great. I'm not saying they're idiots up there. 594 00:31:46,680 --> 00:31:50,040 Speaker 1: I'm just saying it's it's worth questioning the fact that 595 00:31:50,080 --> 00:31:52,080 Speaker 1: they won two Super Bowls with two of the five 596 00:31:52,120 --> 00:31:55,880 Speaker 1: greatest quarterbacks ever. And yes, I think when you look 597 00:31:55,880 --> 00:31:58,520 Speaker 1: at look at what the Chiefs did this offseason. They 598 00:31:58,560 --> 00:32:01,520 Speaker 1: have Patrick Mahomes and they got one of the best 599 00:32:01,600 --> 00:32:05,120 Speaker 1: right cackles in football, the best garden football. They traded 600 00:32:05,160 --> 00:32:07,600 Speaker 1: for a corner who's a first round pick who's been 601 00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:10,600 Speaker 1: dealing with injuries, and Mike cues. Green Bay doesn't do 602 00:32:10,640 --> 00:32:13,480 Speaker 1: that stuff. We send out planes in the air with 603 00:32:13,600 --> 00:32:17,680 Speaker 1: like they signed a free agent one of them, holy cow. 604 00:32:17,880 --> 00:32:20,960 Speaker 1: And that's where I'm critical of the Packers that if 605 00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:24,800 Speaker 1: I can use Aaron Rodgers to lore free agents, why 606 00:32:24,840 --> 00:32:27,080 Speaker 1: wouldn't I do that. I don't want exactly. Yeah, I 607 00:32:27,080 --> 00:32:29,400 Speaker 1: don't want him in my war room when we're drafting, 608 00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:31,920 Speaker 1: but I do I want him to reach out to 609 00:32:32,440 --> 00:32:36,320 Speaker 1: an offensive lineman or a wide receiver, even a defensive player. 610 00:32:36,840 --> 00:32:40,440 Speaker 1: I agreed, and I think I think that's again. I 611 00:32:40,600 --> 00:32:44,080 Speaker 1: know at least two instance, it's one of big time 612 00:32:44,120 --> 00:32:48,840 Speaker 1: receiver who was in Roger's ear because this receiver used 613 00:32:48,880 --> 00:32:52,000 Speaker 1: to tell me he wanted to go there. That happened 614 00:32:52,040 --> 00:32:54,200 Speaker 1: here in the last few years. The team didn't want 615 00:32:54,200 --> 00:32:56,920 Speaker 1: to hear it from Rogers. You know, Yeah, they don't, 616 00:32:56,960 --> 00:32:58,760 Speaker 1: they don't. I think there's a lot of teams, and 617 00:32:58,760 --> 00:33:00,480 Speaker 1: I think that's where Rogers you can give us the 618 00:33:00,560 --> 00:33:03,520 Speaker 1: name now I can't. I can't. The guy's still playing 619 00:33:03,560 --> 00:33:05,160 Speaker 1: and he's still good, and I don't want to cause 620 00:33:05,200 --> 00:33:07,440 Speaker 1: any issues here and him beat me up or something. 621 00:33:07,520 --> 00:33:11,840 Speaker 1: But like that's where you know, I think he's frustrated 622 00:33:11,880 --> 00:33:13,880 Speaker 1: because I think he does have people reach out to 623 00:33:13,960 --> 00:33:16,160 Speaker 1: him to go. Man, I'd like to come up there 624 00:33:16,160 --> 00:33:18,720 Speaker 1: and do something with you him play up in green Bay, 625 00:33:18,920 --> 00:33:21,400 Speaker 1: and green Bay always just goes, well, we only draft 626 00:33:21,480 --> 00:33:23,880 Speaker 1: guys and they stick to their formula, and I get it, 627 00:33:23,920 --> 00:33:32,400 Speaker 1: but I don't get it. DeAndre Hopkins. I'm not telling you. Okay, 628 00:33:32,760 --> 00:33:34,800 Speaker 1: you don't know my poker face either, so you won't 629 00:33:34,840 --> 00:33:38,360 Speaker 1: know if I'm lining or not. Pro Football Talk Live 630 00:33:38,440 --> 00:33:41,440 Speaker 1: co host Chris Simms joining us. The camp that is 631 00:33:41,480 --> 00:33:46,200 Speaker 1: most interesting right now, aside from Green Bay is oh wow, 632 00:33:46,280 --> 00:33:48,800 Speaker 1: good question. All right, Well, first off, I'm pissed at 633 00:33:48,800 --> 00:33:50,720 Speaker 1: the Jets, Like, what the hell are you doing? That's 634 00:33:50,720 --> 00:33:53,000 Speaker 1: why I'm just interested because of the stupidity of the 635 00:33:53,080 --> 00:33:55,160 Speaker 1: Jets right now. That's where I'd like to go with that. 636 00:33:55,240 --> 00:33:58,320 Speaker 1: I mean, that's I mean, here we are, we drafted 637 00:33:58,400 --> 00:34:02,480 Speaker 1: all this young talent, we got a superstar quarterback. All 638 00:34:02,520 --> 00:34:05,520 Speaker 1: they could do is rave about him to anybody who 639 00:34:05,520 --> 00:34:09,560 Speaker 1: would listen Offspring. Now he's lasers everywhere. This guy's awesome, 640 00:34:09,760 --> 00:34:12,160 Speaker 1: and now they're gonna screw up all the development because 641 00:34:12,160 --> 00:34:15,279 Speaker 1: of money. That means nothing, And I can't blame Joe 642 00:34:15,320 --> 00:34:18,280 Speaker 1: Douglas or Robert Sala. It's got to be an ownership 643 00:34:18,440 --> 00:34:21,120 Speaker 1: that Isn't this slotted Chris, Like, don't they know exact 644 00:34:21,160 --> 00:34:22,960 Speaker 1: but they have to pay him? Like, what is the 645 00:34:23,040 --> 00:34:26,480 Speaker 1: hold up here? The hold up is obviously the Jets 646 00:34:26,480 --> 00:34:29,120 Speaker 1: are trying to do something ownership. To me, this is 647 00:34:29,120 --> 00:34:31,680 Speaker 1: not like Joe Douglas because it's not a salary cap 648 00:34:31,719 --> 00:34:35,160 Speaker 1: issue or anything like that. It's it has to do 649 00:34:35,239 --> 00:34:38,080 Speaker 1: something I think with Yeah, one of the higher ups 650 00:34:38,120 --> 00:34:40,759 Speaker 1: above them going, wait, we don't want to write that 651 00:34:40,920 --> 00:34:44,319 Speaker 1: check right now or give all that cash. I don't 652 00:34:44,320 --> 00:34:46,839 Speaker 1: know if there's cash flow problems with the Jets or 653 00:34:46,880 --> 00:34:50,280 Speaker 1: what it is, but yeah, you're right. The last few years, 654 00:34:50,320 --> 00:34:52,680 Speaker 1: the first and second picks, it's slotted. You know what 655 00:34:52,719 --> 00:34:54,480 Speaker 1: you get. They all get their money in the first 656 00:34:54,520 --> 00:34:57,120 Speaker 1: two or three months and that's it. But of course 657 00:34:57,120 --> 00:35:00,200 Speaker 1: the Jets are doing Jets things that's interesting. But Dan 658 00:35:00,400 --> 00:35:02,359 Speaker 1: the other one, the forty nine Ers I mean, how 659 00:35:02,360 --> 00:35:05,439 Speaker 1: could I not forty nine ers are a super Bowl team. Well, 660 00:35:05,680 --> 00:35:08,920 Speaker 1: you finally got you know, they signed there, you know, 661 00:35:09,600 --> 00:35:14,359 Speaker 1: they trade, So, right, is he going to eventually start 662 00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:17,600 Speaker 1: this year? I would go I would think that there's 663 00:35:17,840 --> 00:35:20,160 Speaker 1: got to be at least a package of place for him. 664 00:35:21,160 --> 00:35:22,960 Speaker 1: I don't know if I'm gonna say he's gonna start. 665 00:35:23,040 --> 00:35:24,680 Speaker 1: I I you know, I got to see him play 666 00:35:24,719 --> 00:35:28,040 Speaker 1: in the preseason and see, you know, if he's become 667 00:35:28,080 --> 00:35:30,759 Speaker 1: more of a polished passer, if he can under you know, 668 00:35:31,160 --> 00:35:33,560 Speaker 1: handle the NFL game and all that there is to 669 00:35:33,640 --> 00:35:37,200 Speaker 1: bring to that comes with that. So you know, I 670 00:35:37,239 --> 00:35:40,319 Speaker 1: don't know, but it's intriguing either way because they're a 671 00:35:40,400 --> 00:35:43,480 Speaker 1: super talented football team with a quarterback that was in 672 00:35:43,520 --> 00:35:45,960 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl two years ago and a guy that 673 00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:48,160 Speaker 1: they traded the way three first round picks to get 674 00:35:48,239 --> 00:35:50,160 Speaker 1: now and they're having a quarterback battle. So I think 675 00:35:50,200 --> 00:35:53,239 Speaker 1: that's probably the story of training camp. If Garoppolo had 676 00:35:53,280 --> 00:35:58,200 Speaker 1: won that Super Bowl, Yeah, would they have drafted a quarterback? 677 00:35:59,200 --> 00:36:02,200 Speaker 1: Probably not. I think it buys them at least another year, 678 00:36:02,360 --> 00:36:06,760 Speaker 1: maybe two, at least, Like he's two first downs away 679 00:36:07,040 --> 00:36:12,200 Speaker 1: from beating Mahomes, you know, two first downs away from Mahomes, 680 00:36:12,440 --> 00:36:17,600 Speaker 1: but a full second half of bad decisions, bad throws, 681 00:36:18,200 --> 00:36:20,359 Speaker 1: plays that were there to be had. When they had 682 00:36:20,400 --> 00:36:22,640 Speaker 1: to kick a field goal, they should have been a 683 00:36:22,640 --> 00:36:25,719 Speaker 1: wide open completion on third down to George Kittle over 684 00:36:25,760 --> 00:36:28,560 Speaker 1: the middle, and that drive should have continued. I think 685 00:36:28,600 --> 00:36:32,480 Speaker 1: it's that type of stuff that has continually frustrated the 686 00:36:32,560 --> 00:36:35,560 Speaker 1: forty nine ers and things like that. But yeah, I'm 687 00:36:35,600 --> 00:36:38,080 Speaker 1: with you. I think if they win that game, you, 688 00:36:38,120 --> 00:36:40,719 Speaker 1: of course you buy yourself two maybe three years if 689 00:36:40,760 --> 00:36:43,400 Speaker 1: you're a Super Bowl champ. I feel like we were 690 00:36:43,480 --> 00:36:46,280 Speaker 1: yelling at each other today. I know, you know I'm 691 00:36:46,360 --> 00:36:48,960 Speaker 1: yelling I think anyways, because I have EarPods in and 692 00:36:48,960 --> 00:36:51,400 Speaker 1: I'm usually at my studio with the mic and all that. 693 00:36:51,480 --> 00:36:53,480 Speaker 1: So I'm sorry. I don't mean to yell you my fault. 694 00:36:54,000 --> 00:36:57,200 Speaker 1: You look like you're on a spaceship with Jeff Bezos 695 00:36:57,280 --> 00:37:03,919 Speaker 1: or something. Whatever Earth they do. That's Sunday Night Football Earth. 696 00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:05,920 Speaker 1: I mean, you know you've seen that set back there. 697 00:37:05,960 --> 00:37:07,759 Speaker 1: Remember when you used to be Bobby big Time and 698 00:37:07,800 --> 00:37:11,799 Speaker 1: host Football big Time that in fact, that's what my 699 00:37:11,920 --> 00:37:15,239 Speaker 1: nickname was in the in the building. Bobby, I know, 700 00:37:15,440 --> 00:37:18,080 Speaker 1: I know, Hey, you're you're kind of a big meal. 701 00:37:18,160 --> 00:37:22,080 Speaker 1: Here comes Bobby, big time. I think I left some 702 00:37:22,360 --> 00:37:24,560 Speaker 1: weed in my locker there, so feel free if you 703 00:37:24,600 --> 00:37:29,560 Speaker 1: want that. Oh, I already smoked. I found it. I 704 00:37:29,640 --> 00:37:34,680 Speaker 1: gotta know it for those types, don't you worry? Hey 705 00:37:34,760 --> 00:37:40,480 Speaker 1: and your longhorns? Yeah? Yeah, can't beat him? Join up? Right? 706 00:37:40,719 --> 00:37:43,759 Speaker 1: I'm happy? I mean, come on, has there been like 707 00:37:44,120 --> 00:37:47,080 Speaker 1: I mean, I'm disappointed with the Texas program. I think 708 00:37:47,080 --> 00:37:49,560 Speaker 1: it's one of the most disappointing programs in college football 709 00:37:49,600 --> 00:37:52,000 Speaker 1: the last ten years. Get out of the Big twelve. 710 00:37:52,040 --> 00:37:54,719 Speaker 1: It's a flag football conference. Yeah, let's see if we 711 00:37:54,719 --> 00:37:56,480 Speaker 1: can go, you know, play with the big boys in 712 00:37:56,520 --> 00:37:58,840 Speaker 1: the SEC, because that's where it's at for sure. I 713 00:37:58,880 --> 00:38:01,240 Speaker 1: hope they make the move. I do. How did Texas 714 00:38:01,239 --> 00:38:07,440 Speaker 1: close you? How did Texas close me? Well, I mean, listen, 715 00:38:07,560 --> 00:38:09,680 Speaker 1: Mac Brown, I don't know how much you've met him, 716 00:38:09,800 --> 00:38:14,759 Speaker 1: right right, Mac's amazing. I mean, he's amazing. You know. 717 00:38:14,800 --> 00:38:16,640 Speaker 1: I used to say he could sell a Pinto to 718 00:38:16,760 --> 00:38:20,279 Speaker 1: Donald Trump, like he could do that, Like he is 719 00:38:20,320 --> 00:38:23,960 Speaker 1: the smoothest talker ever. But either way, the school was amazing. 720 00:38:24,080 --> 00:38:26,720 Speaker 1: I love the rise of the program. Right, Ricky Williams 721 00:38:26,760 --> 00:38:28,960 Speaker 1: won the Heisman right before the year I went there. 722 00:38:29,200 --> 00:38:30,680 Speaker 1: I was like, man, this will be cool to be 723 00:38:30,719 --> 00:38:33,279 Speaker 1: a part of the uprising of Texas football again. But 724 00:38:33,360 --> 00:38:36,080 Speaker 1: the car was an automatic or stick that you got. 725 00:38:36,200 --> 00:38:38,799 Speaker 1: They don't give cars to rich kids who grew up 726 00:38:38,800 --> 00:38:42,600 Speaker 1: as sons of quarterbacks. They don't do that. They loan them, 727 00:38:42,640 --> 00:38:45,960 Speaker 1: They loan them. They don't give them Chris, they don't, 728 00:38:46,040 --> 00:38:48,520 Speaker 1: they don't. I didn't get anything down there other than 729 00:38:48,600 --> 00:38:52,400 Speaker 1: as I've discussed with you before Tennessee. What would Tennessee 730 00:38:52,480 --> 00:38:56,760 Speaker 1: have given you? Uh? Nothing? You know, I'm too hope 731 00:38:56,880 --> 00:39:01,799 Speaker 1: high profile to get anything. So I know one day 732 00:39:01,800 --> 00:39:04,000 Speaker 1: I'll write a book and tell you some of the 733 00:39:04,080 --> 00:39:07,359 Speaker 1: stories and everything that like went on during those other 734 00:39:07,400 --> 00:39:10,400 Speaker 1: things I witnessed with other people, with other players. Of course, 735 00:39:10,560 --> 00:39:17,160 Speaker 1: certain visits, can you give me one? Gosh, I just 736 00:39:17,280 --> 00:39:22,839 Speaker 1: was on a visit once with big time defensive tackle, right, 737 00:39:23,239 --> 00:39:27,759 Speaker 1: big time defensive tackle, And this school is rolling out 738 00:39:27,760 --> 00:39:32,160 Speaker 1: the red carpet, and man, anything he looked at he 739 00:39:32,280 --> 00:39:34,680 Speaker 1: wanted I want that, I want this, I want that, 740 00:39:34,840 --> 00:39:37,239 Speaker 1: I want that, I want this, I want that. And 741 00:39:37,320 --> 00:39:40,440 Speaker 1: of course someone whispered in his ear. You know, don't worry. 742 00:39:40,440 --> 00:39:42,480 Speaker 1: We'll get it to you here sometime in the near future. 743 00:39:42,560 --> 00:39:45,359 Speaker 1: So that's one, and my aunt Wendy and my mom 744 00:39:45,480 --> 00:39:48,160 Speaker 1: still get to kick out of them. But I know, 745 00:39:48,280 --> 00:39:50,560 Speaker 1: I'm sorry. I can't tell you. I'm sorry. I don't 746 00:39:50,560 --> 00:39:52,840 Speaker 1: want to get the school in trouble, the player in trouble. 747 00:39:52,880 --> 00:39:57,320 Speaker 1: I'm sorry. The player probably wouldn't care, he really wouldn't. 748 00:39:57,320 --> 00:39:58,680 Speaker 1: But I don't want to get the school in trouble. 749 00:39:58,680 --> 00:40:02,160 Speaker 1: That's where I feel guilty. I think we have it well. 750 00:40:02,360 --> 00:40:04,360 Speaker 1: We have to listen to schools you officially visited, but 751 00:40:04,400 --> 00:40:06,440 Speaker 1: we will not give him up. Oh yeah, sorry, I 752 00:40:06,840 --> 00:40:09,320 Speaker 1: visited a lot of schools unofficially too, so you wouldn't 753 00:40:09,320 --> 00:40:13,120 Speaker 1: be able to put it down to that. Sorry, yeah, yeah, 754 00:40:13,160 --> 00:40:15,000 Speaker 1: you know. Do you want to tell me that you're 755 00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:17,600 Speaker 1: looking fire miles and money? You can visit other schools, 756 00:40:17,600 --> 00:40:19,720 Speaker 1: it's easier. Do you want to tell me the wide 757 00:40:19,719 --> 00:40:23,239 Speaker 1: receiver now instead? Nope? No, man, I know you're trying 758 00:40:23,280 --> 00:40:25,520 Speaker 1: to really get me today, get me in big trouble. No, 759 00:40:25,640 --> 00:40:31,280 Speaker 1: I can't tell you Adam's feeling. Nope. Jervis Landry bigger 760 00:40:31,320 --> 00:40:34,439 Speaker 1: than bigger than Adam's feeling and everything like that. That's 761 00:40:34,440 --> 00:40:37,040 Speaker 1: what I'll say to you on that bad point. Okay, 762 00:40:37,440 --> 00:40:40,279 Speaker 1: good to talk to you, Chris. As always, you're the man, Larry, 763 00:40:40,400 --> 00:40:43,960 Speaker 1: Larry Fitzgerald, I see you, goodbye. All right, that's Chris.
