1 00:00:05,800 --> 00:00:08,600 Speaker 1: Welcome back to the Richard Sherman Podcast. And I know 2 00:00:08,640 --> 00:00:11,320 Speaker 1: it's only been a couple of days, but there's always 3 00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:16,240 Speaker 1: news and of course the Dallas Cowboys. Jerry Jones just 4 00:00:16,360 --> 00:00:20,720 Speaker 1: cannot help himself. He says, Hey, there's not enough controversy, 5 00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:23,919 Speaker 1: there's not enough drama. There's not enough issues with my 6 00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:25,799 Speaker 1: team right now. So you know what I'm gonna do, 7 00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:30,280 Speaker 1: I'm gonna create. So he talked bad about Trade Diggs. 8 00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:32,600 Speaker 1: Should they have paid Trade Diggs? Yes, you should have 9 00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:35,640 Speaker 1: played Trade Digs. You're playing really well. At the time 10 00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:39,920 Speaker 1: he was healthy, he had a lot of interceptions. You 11 00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:42,000 Speaker 1: pay the guy. But now he's been injured for a 12 00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:44,640 Speaker 1: couple of years, you think, oh, man, should we have 13 00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:47,639 Speaker 1: paid him? Should we have paid Steele? What about Deck? 14 00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:49,640 Speaker 1: We made him the highest paid and he missed a 15 00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:54,040 Speaker 1: couple of games. It's football, Jerry, it's football. It's been football. 16 00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:58,440 Speaker 1: That's the risk you take paying guys. These are still 17 00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:03,080 Speaker 1: great guys, the guys that play well. Every year, Jerry 18 00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:06,560 Speaker 1: Jones starts the season talking about his best guys, talking 19 00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:10,320 Speaker 1: and rarely ever talking positively about him. And you know what, 20 00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:14,080 Speaker 1: I don't mind Jerry talking in the media, but if 21 00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:17,600 Speaker 1: you're gonna talk in the media to start the season 22 00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:23,000 Speaker 1: and say, hey, I don't think my best players are 23 00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:26,720 Speaker 1: worth the money I'm paying them because they're always injured, 24 00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:29,479 Speaker 1: they didn't play as well as I thought they would. 25 00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:35,160 Speaker 1: I'm kind of having second thoughts about why I paid them. Jerry, 26 00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:36,759 Speaker 1: I could tell you this. I can tell you this, 27 00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:40,240 Speaker 1: that season probably ain't gonna start off how you want. 28 00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:45,399 Speaker 1: It's not. It's not you want this season to end 29 00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:49,160 Speaker 1: in the super Bowl. I don't know how many seasons 30 00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:52,800 Speaker 1: start off with the owner of the team, the general manager, 31 00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:57,240 Speaker 1: the person who running the show saying, Hey, my best players, 32 00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:00,559 Speaker 1: I'm not getting enough out of them, and I'm paying 33 00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:05,800 Speaker 1: too much. I really don't. And then, arguably your best player, 34 00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:10,760 Speaker 1: and I've been saying this for years, you haven't paid 35 00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:15,160 Speaker 1: at all. You have not given a contract. And you 36 00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:19,760 Speaker 1: could have paid Michael Parsons. When Nick Bosa got his 37 00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:22,720 Speaker 1: five for one to seventy, you could have paid Michael 38 00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:26,240 Speaker 1: Parsons right then, and there got a discount because now 39 00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:32,760 Speaker 1: now the price is only going up. That was thirty 40 00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:36,560 Speaker 1: four million dollars a year. TJ. Watt just got forty 41 00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:41,840 Speaker 1: one million dollars a year. You were gonna have to 42 00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:46,320 Speaker 1: go above what TJ. Watt just got because of Michael 43 00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:52,360 Speaker 1: Parson's age, his production, his consistency, or somebody else will. 44 00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:56,600 Speaker 1: But I've said this for at least the last two years, 45 00:02:57,320 --> 00:03:04,600 Speaker 1: it's something weird about Dallas in their relationship with Michael Parsons. 46 00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:09,560 Speaker 1: The Cowboys front not not the players, not the fans, 47 00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:13,480 Speaker 1: not the scheme, not anything the front office. Jerry Jones 48 00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:16,720 Speaker 1: in his relationship with Michael Parsons, I said, it's been odd, 49 00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:19,400 Speaker 1: like it's almost like they don't like him. They don't 50 00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:21,560 Speaker 1: like him, or they don't they are they feel like 51 00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:24,760 Speaker 1: they know something or the rest of us don't. Because 52 00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:30,840 Speaker 1: just objectively speaking, his numbers speak for themselves, his accolades 53 00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:35,000 Speaker 1: speak for themselves, and all those things scream pay the man, 54 00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:40,840 Speaker 1: but they haven't paid the man. His production's there, and 55 00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:42,840 Speaker 1: people are like, well, they haven't won a Super Bowl. 56 00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:46,920 Speaker 1: Miles Garrett forty million dollars. Cleveland ain't ain't sniffed the 57 00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:51,400 Speaker 1: Super Bowl. TJ. Watt forty one million dollars. They're not. 58 00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:54,240 Speaker 1: Pittsburgh was not in a Super Bowl last year, not 59 00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:59,240 Speaker 1: not by any stretch of the imaginations. Daniel Hunter got 60 00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:01,800 Speaker 1: thirty five point six million dollars. They went to the playoffs, 61 00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:06,080 Speaker 1: but he went to Houston to get that deal. Max 62 00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:09,000 Speaker 1: Crosby thirty five point five from the Raiders the respect 63 00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:11,120 Speaker 1: he deserves. But you know what I like about this. 64 00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:17,240 Speaker 1: I like the way Trey Digs and Micah Parsons are 65 00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:20,960 Speaker 1: handling it. They said, Okay, Jerry, you want to play 66 00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:26,320 Speaker 1: this media game. And that's the difference between the players 67 00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:31,160 Speaker 1: these days and players of the past. Players in the past. 68 00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:33,480 Speaker 1: You kind of just got to shut up and and 69 00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:36,479 Speaker 1: just you know, play and say say all the right things, 70 00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:39,640 Speaker 1: and and and and hope that the front office does 71 00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:45,240 Speaker 1: what you want him to do. Not anymore, not with 72 00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:51,039 Speaker 1: social media, not with all this media access. If you 73 00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:54,400 Speaker 1: want to throw daggers, Jerry, the players can throw them 74 00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:59,160 Speaker 1: right back. But it just makes everything look really dysfunctional. 75 00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:01,880 Speaker 1: But aaa Parsons did a great job. He was he 76 00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:04,840 Speaker 1: was calm, He delivered a good message. Hey, I've done 77 00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:07,800 Speaker 1: everything I could do to put myself and my family 78 00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:11,440 Speaker 1: in a position to get paid what I deserve, and 79 00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:15,000 Speaker 1: that's all I'm asking for. The reporters are like, are 80 00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:18,680 Speaker 1: you holding in? You're holding out clearly, He's holding in clearly. 81 00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:21,440 Speaker 1: If they paid him tomorrow, he'd be at practice, practicing 82 00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:23,480 Speaker 1: as hard as he could and playing a good game 83 00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:27,279 Speaker 1: and doing everything being a player he's been. But at 84 00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:30,880 Speaker 1: some point you gotta protect yourself. At some point you 85 00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:34,120 Speaker 1: gotta say, hey, enough is enough, Like I'm out here 86 00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:37,440 Speaker 1: putting myself in danger, and y'all done made me get 87 00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:41,400 Speaker 1: all the way to my contract year and still having paid, 88 00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:44,360 Speaker 1: not even answering my agent's calls. And David muller Getta 89 00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:46,200 Speaker 1: is one of the best out there, if not the 90 00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:50,520 Speaker 1: best agent in the business. So if y'all not picking 91 00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:53,200 Speaker 1: up the phone, it's not like he's he's saying something 92 00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:57,400 Speaker 1: crazy to y'all. David Mullageda has done a lot of 93 00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:00,680 Speaker 1: these incredible deals. I think he was He was in 94 00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:05,120 Speaker 1: on the Jaden Higgins deal with Houston, which became the 95 00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:08,440 Speaker 1: first second round pick to get the fully guaranteed deal. 96 00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:11,440 Speaker 1: Of course mullagedar got his hands on it. He's been 97 00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:13,719 Speaker 1: a part of a lot of these guaranteed deals, a 98 00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:17,119 Speaker 1: lot of these huge deals, Jalen Ramsey getting his deals. 99 00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:19,359 Speaker 1: You look at d B Play and you look at 100 00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:22,400 Speaker 1: DB's getting paid. In majority of the time, you're gonna 101 00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:26,320 Speaker 1: see David Mullagedtter's name attached to it, Micah Parsons and 102 00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:28,520 Speaker 1: quarterbacks too. Shoot. I mean he has a lot of 103 00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:32,599 Speaker 1: great clients in this league, long list, But for them 104 00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:36,680 Speaker 1: to play this game with Michaeh Parsons unnecessarily when you 105 00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:41,520 Speaker 1: could have paid this man years ago and saved yourself trouble, 106 00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:46,080 Speaker 1: headache money. You could have saved yourself seven million dollars 107 00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:47,920 Speaker 1: a year if you just paid him a couple of 108 00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:52,760 Speaker 1: years ago. And I said this, but Garry Jones refuses 109 00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:55,080 Speaker 1: to get out of his own way and get out 110 00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:57,440 Speaker 1: of the way of the Dallas Cowboys. They're the only 111 00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:03,480 Speaker 1: team in the NFC that has not made an NFC 112 00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:08,559 Speaker 1: Championship game since the nineties. I think it was ninety six. 113 00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:12,320 Speaker 1: As their fans, I'm sure the fans have to be 114 00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:14,920 Speaker 1: frustrated with this. You gotta be frustrated because it's not 115 00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:17,560 Speaker 1: like you don't have a talented team. They draft as 116 00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:19,560 Speaker 1: well as anybody. I think they got the most all 117 00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:22,400 Speaker 1: pros drafted in the first round over the last decade 118 00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:26,080 Speaker 1: or two. Like you're drafting the right guys, you're getting superstars. 119 00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:30,280 Speaker 1: You're handling it in a way that hey, ceede lamb 120 00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:33,320 Speaker 1: a guy All Pro. Trey Digg's been an All Pro, 121 00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:38,080 Speaker 1: Michael Parsons all Pro like you're getting guys Dak Prescott 122 00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:41,320 Speaker 1: All Pro. But you can't talk about him like that, Jerry. 123 00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:44,120 Speaker 1: You're gonna say, Michael Parsons, man, he didn't play a 124 00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:46,080 Speaker 1: lot of games last year. He missed six games. The 125 00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:48,840 Speaker 1: man missed four. You can't run a team and say 126 00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:52,160 Speaker 1: your best player missed more games than he missed. It 127 00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:55,600 Speaker 1: just sends the wrong message. And I don't know. I 128 00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:57,800 Speaker 1: don't really know how you fix this. I don't know 129 00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:00,840 Speaker 1: how you come back getting run of a mic as 130 00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:06,360 Speaker 1: Jerry Jones and say my bad like Trey, we love you, Michael, 131 00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:08,880 Speaker 1: we love you, because behind closed doors ain't enough. At 132 00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:12,239 Speaker 1: this point, you made it public. They made it public. 133 00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:15,520 Speaker 1: It's gonna have to be a joint press conference where 134 00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:20,600 Speaker 1: everybody says, shakes hands, hugs, were all good while Michael 135 00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:24,840 Speaker 1: Parsons is signing the highest paid non quarterback deal in 136 00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:28,480 Speaker 1: the National Football League. But is that gonna happen? I 137 00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:32,160 Speaker 1: don't know the way Jerry works. I don't know the 138 00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:36,400 Speaker 1: way Jerry works. He's gonna is he gonna franchise Michael Parsons. 139 00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:40,000 Speaker 1: I hope not. I hope not. I hope it doesn't 140 00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:42,240 Speaker 1: get to that point. I hope. I hope Michael Parsons 141 00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:45,400 Speaker 1: gets forty one and some change million dollars a year 142 00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:50,280 Speaker 1: over five years, with most of it guaranteed, and he 143 00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:52,080 Speaker 1: can continue to play at a high level. The man 144 00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:55,120 Speaker 1: has deserved it, the man has earned it. That's what 145 00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:56,839 Speaker 1: you're supposed to get. You're supposed to get what you're earned. 146 00:08:57,120 --> 00:09:06,880 Speaker 1: Three all pros, give the man his pay man.

Because the Cowboys, I mean Jerry Jones, 174 00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:58,800 Speaker 1: not even the Cowboys. Cowboys got a really talented team, 175 00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:03,760 Speaker 1: a great roster. They got a new head coach who 176 00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:07,120 Speaker 1: was their offensive coordinator and Shoddy I think you know, 177 00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:10,439 Speaker 1: without these kind of distractions, this is a this is 178 00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:13,160 Speaker 1: a promising season for them, you know. Obviously it's a 179 00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:17,000 Speaker 1: a stacked NFC East, with the Commanders going to the 180 00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:19,559 Speaker 1: NFC Championship, the Eagles coming off a Super Bowl win. 181 00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:22,920 Speaker 1: It's gonna be a battle for that division. You don't 182 00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:25,480 Speaker 1: need to make it harder on yourself, Jered. You don't 183 00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:29,000 Speaker 1: need to go there and say make life harder for 184 00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:32,600 Speaker 1: your players and make these kind of things the topic 185 00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:35,600 Speaker 1: of the conversation instead of the season. The season hasn't 186 00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:39,400 Speaker 1: even started. There's not bad things happening yet they're not. 187 00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:43,920 Speaker 1: There's not bad plays, there's not bad games. But this 188 00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:46,080 Speaker 1: is just bad. This is as as an owner, as 189 00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:47,760 Speaker 1: a GM, this is about as bad as you could 190 00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:51,160 Speaker 1: say going into the season. This is a way a 191 00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:54,360 Speaker 1: GM gets in the way of his team. Our owner 192 00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:57,720 Speaker 1: gets in away of his team. But in other NFC 193 00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:02,800 Speaker 1: East news, Russell Wilson was the starter for the New 194 00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:06,640 Speaker 1: York Giants. Brian day Bowl announced that the other day, 195 00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:11,000 Speaker 1: which is expected, they paid him ten million dollars to 196 00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:13,840 Speaker 1: come in here and beat a starter. Obviously, they drafted 197 00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:17,120 Speaker 1: Jackson Dart. They brought Jameis Winston in, but they gave 198 00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:20,520 Speaker 1: Russell Wilson that money to have him be the starter. 199 00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:24,600 Speaker 1: This is a very tough situation, but clearly he's shown 200 00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:27,160 Speaker 1: enough for Day Bowl to name him the starter at 201 00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:31,000 Speaker 1: this point. Hopefully he could have some success. I'm sure 202 00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:34,360 Speaker 1: if things go the way they have for the Giants 203 00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:41,120 Speaker 1: the last few years, people will be, you know, calling 204 00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:44,680 Speaker 1: for Jamis or Jackson Dart. Jamis has been very productive 205 00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:47,720 Speaker 1: in this league. Jackson Dart is the young up and 206 00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:52,040 Speaker 1: coming rookie that you know, anytime somebody has a new toy, 207 00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:55,120 Speaker 1: they're always excited about it. So we'll see how that 208 00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:59,080 Speaker 1: goes for the Giants. Obviously, Monique Malik Neighbors is a 209 00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:02,679 Speaker 1: tremendous weapon and had a great season last year, and 210 00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:06,160 Speaker 1: they had some success you know, intermittently throughout the season. 211 00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:11,640 Speaker 1: So hopefully that situation works out really well. The offensive 212 00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:15,520 Speaker 1: line has had its issues, of course, so if they 213 00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:18,120 Speaker 1: can keep Russell Wilson upright, I'm sure he'll feed Mylik 214 00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:20,320 Speaker 1: Neighbors and maybe they'll be able to have some success 215 00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:23,679 Speaker 1: early on. Obviously, we'll keep a very good eye, close 216 00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:27,120 Speaker 1: eye on that situation. But congratulations to Russell Wilson on 217 00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:32,719 Speaker 1: being named the starter. Onto some NFLPA news. J C. 218 00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:36,920 Speaker 1: Treader resigns from the NFLPA. I'm not sure how I 219 00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:39,679 Speaker 1: approached this because there's a lot of things being said 220 00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:41,880 Speaker 1: about j. C. Tratder and the way things were handled 221 00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:48,199 Speaker 1: and these backdoor deals that were agreed to. I was 222 00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:51,439 Speaker 1: in the nfl PA, I was on the executive committee. 223 00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:53,920 Speaker 1: I can tell you that we didn't know anything about 224 00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:56,760 Speaker 1: any of the back door deals being done. Anybody agreeing 225 00:13:56,800 --> 00:14:02,240 Speaker 1: to deals about suppressing alleries, et cetera, et cetera. If 226 00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:04,920 Speaker 1: we're new, I been the first to come out and 227 00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:08,000 Speaker 1: say something, and so would he. So would he. He's 228 00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:10,560 Speaker 1: a stand up guy. He put a lot of effort, 229 00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:13,960 Speaker 1: a lot of energy during his time to try to 230 00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:17,400 Speaker 1: elevate the players, elevate the nfl P a UH and 231 00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:21,320 Speaker 1: the way players respected it. He's the guy who came 232 00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:25,000 Speaker 1: up with the players survey, the nfl PA All Pro Team. 233 00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:27,520 Speaker 1: He's done a lot of things to try to try 234 00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:31,400 Speaker 1: to change the narrative within the nfl PA. So I 235 00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:33,640 Speaker 1: could I could understand why he would resign and say 236 00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:37,440 Speaker 1: enough's enough. Man, I've given blood, sweat and tears, and 237 00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:39,160 Speaker 1: for people to talk about him in the way they're 238 00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:43,600 Speaker 1: talking about him, it's probably really frustrating. It's disappointing to 239 00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:47,720 Speaker 1: see the deals that have been done and the conversations 240 00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:52,640 Speaker 1: that have been had without the approval of the Executive Committee. 241 00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:55,800 Speaker 1: And I'm sure players are gonna gonna be frustrating and 242 00:14:55,800 --> 00:15:01,920 Speaker 1: and and and make their thoughts heard. Obviously, the executive 243 00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:05,840 Speaker 1: director resigned JC doesn't want to be considered. I would 244 00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:08,080 Speaker 1: guess likely it goes to Don Davis, who's who's an 245 00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:11,160 Speaker 1: incredible leader. But there's obviously some things that need to 246 00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:15,720 Speaker 1: be fixed and needs to be addressed. It's unfortunate. I 247 00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:20,080 Speaker 1: think the story is being made, the conversations being had, 248 00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:24,680 Speaker 1: or I mean they're they're revealing, and they're frustrating, and 249 00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:27,520 Speaker 1: they're you know, and everybody has an answer. Everybody's like, man, 250 00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:29,600 Speaker 1: this is the worst. They need to do this, They 251 00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:32,360 Speaker 1: need to do that. Unless you've set in those meetings, 252 00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:35,720 Speaker 1: you set up those buildings, set in those conversations. Like 253 00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:38,240 Speaker 1: it's hard for you to have an input on it 254 00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:40,200 Speaker 1: because you don't really know how these things work. But 255 00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:43,200 Speaker 1: I know that the players and the men in that 256 00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:47,840 Speaker 1: building care about the league and about the guys and 257 00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:52,120 Speaker 1: have done everything they could to to push the game forward. Unfortunately, 258 00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:56,480 Speaker 1: this is some backdoor activities that went on that that 259 00:15:56,560 --> 00:15:58,800 Speaker 1: guys didn't know about. And I'm sure that's what what's 260 00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:01,200 Speaker 1: going to be addressed. So we'll see how that goes. 261 00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:04,080 Speaker 1: I'll keep an eye on it and keep my ear 262 00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:08,680 Speaker 1: to the street. But it's it's it's an interesting time 263 00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:13,000 Speaker 1: for the National Football League and NFLPA because because you 264 00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:14,800 Speaker 1: can't have it, you can't have it. And it's good 265 00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:17,560 Speaker 1: on the reporters and everybody who was able to get 266 00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:19,840 Speaker 1: the information and expose it and put it out there 267 00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:23,040 Speaker 1: so that truth can be out there. Nothing wrong with 268 00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:25,200 Speaker 1: the truth being out there. I don't think anybody's upset 269 00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:27,600 Speaker 1: about that. Uh. And if you're upset with that, then 270 00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:32,920 Speaker 1: it says more about you than them. But something gotta change, clearly. Uh. 271 00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:37,800 Speaker 1: The Raiders signed Jamal Adams Pete Carroll. Uh. He and 272 00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:41,200 Speaker 1: Pete Carroll have a reunion. That's an interesting move. We'll 273 00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:43,200 Speaker 1: see how much he has left in the tank and 274 00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:47,120 Speaker 1: what role they'll use him in. When he was in Detroit, 275 00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:48,800 Speaker 1: it looks like they use him as kind of a 276 00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:52,600 Speaker 1: rover outside linebacker. Deal, which you know, I think, and 277 00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:56,040 Speaker 1: and it's probably a good fit for him to play. 278 00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:58,240 Speaker 1: I think it's it's hard to put him in coverage 279 00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:01,160 Speaker 1: in some of those situations, and it's shown tape. But 280 00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:03,880 Speaker 1: he is very effective as a blitzer, very effective as 281 00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:07,480 Speaker 1: a tackler, plays fast and can have an impact in 282 00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:09,960 Speaker 1: the role if he's in the right role. So it 283 00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:13,960 Speaker 1: could be good, it could not be good. We'll see. 284 00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:18,080 Speaker 1: We'll see how that goes. Tyrone, Matthew and Philip Rivers retire. 285 00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:21,560 Speaker 1: That's pretty cool. That's pretty cool. I mean Tyron, you know, 286 00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:23,760 Speaker 1: got a lot of respect, had a lot of battles 287 00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:26,679 Speaker 1: when he was in Arizona, continued to elevate had a 288 00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:28,439 Speaker 1: battle in the Super Bowl with him when he was 289 00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:31,800 Speaker 1: with the Kansas City Chiefs. One of one of my 290 00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:36,520 Speaker 1: favorite players, a great human being, guy who got it 291 00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:40,560 Speaker 1: out the mud. Was one of the best players in 292 00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:43,600 Speaker 1: college football, got to the league, dealt with some injuries, 293 00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:46,159 Speaker 1: dealt with some man versity, and continued to find a 294 00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:49,879 Speaker 1: way to persevere and inspire and elevate himself in his 295 00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:54,439 Speaker 1: game and his team. And congratulations, hats off to an 296 00:17:54,440 --> 00:18:02,960 Speaker 1: incredible career. Philip Rivers retires after being retired. Okay, congratulations 297 00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:08,280 Speaker 1: the Philip Rivers, a great quarterback, had great battles with him. 298 00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:12,560 Speaker 1: Fun guy, incredible competitor. I guess I gotta announce my 299 00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:15,879 Speaker 1: retirement too. I'm I'm Richard Sherman. I'm retiring from National 300 00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:19,080 Speaker 1: Football League. Y'all will not see me put pads on anymore. 301 00:18:19,119 --> 00:18:23,840 Speaker 1: I'm doing TV permanently since since since you know, look, 302 00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:27,159 Speaker 1: Philip retired like that, then I gotta retire too. I 303 00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:29,119 Speaker 1: guess you gotta announce it. I thought I thought people 304 00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:30,919 Speaker 1: just got the point. Once you stopped playing for a 305 00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:33,359 Speaker 1: couple of years, it was uh, it was done, It 306 00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:36,160 Speaker 1: was over with. But congratulations of those men. Those are 307 00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:41,320 Speaker 1: those are great players. The game will miss them. But tremendous, 308 00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:45,800 Speaker 1: tremendous guys, tremendous teammates, tremendous players. Thankful to have gotten 309 00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:53,600 Speaker 1: to compete against them and and and enjoy their game. Huh.
