00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:42,160
Speaker 1: know if anything's leaner around here. I don't know about

25
00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:45,120
Speaker 1: the rest of you guys, As we always do every Monday,

26

30
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:56,720
Speaker 1: the above if you like. Poll question forthcoming play of

31
00:01:56,720 --> 00:01:59,120
Speaker 1: the day and of course stats of the day as well.

32
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:02,720
Speaker 1: We'll check in with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Seems like

33
00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:05,520
Speaker 1: they're making some headlines here and has nothing to do

34
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:08,560
Speaker 1: with what they did on the field. Paul Feinbaum, the

35
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:10,880
Speaker 1: Voice of the SEC a little bit later on, the

36
00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:14,240
Speaker 1: former NFL quarterback Carson Palmer a little bit later on

37
00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:17,720
Speaker 1: as well. Over the years, we become used to Patrick

38
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:21,520
Speaker 1: Mahomes shredding apart teams in January, but on Sunday it

39
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:24,560
Speaker 1: was another AFC quarterback who blew everyone away with his

40
00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:29,120
Speaker 1: incredible production. Joe Burrow is for real and I was

41
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:32,480
Speaker 1: not one of those in his corner. After his junior

42
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:35,400
Speaker 1: year at LSU, because I thought, Okay, he seems like

43
00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:39,240
Speaker 1: he's a decent quarterback. Then he had maybe the greatest

44
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:43,400
Speaker 1: season in college football history, leading LSU to a national title,

45
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 1: a Heisman Trophy, and he goes to the Cincinnati Bengals,

46
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:52,400
Speaker 1: starts out promising, gets hurt, and then you wonder is

47
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:55,359
Speaker 1: he a franchise quarterback? Because yes, we have to make

48
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:59,200
Speaker 1: that decision after one year. But man, as he finishing

49
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:02,960
Speaker 1: strong and the Bengals are for real. That's a team

50
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:05,760
Speaker 1: that I don't think anybody had winning this division. Because

51
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:08,240
Speaker 1: if you started to handicap this, you look at, well,

52
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:10,480
Speaker 1: the Browns might be going to the Super Bowl, the

53
00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:13,799
Speaker 1: Ravens they got a former MVP, and then you got

54
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 1: the Steelers and maybe the last stand for Ben Roethlisberger. Oh,

55
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:20,280
Speaker 1: by the way, the Cuddley Bengals are in there as well.

56
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:23,680
Speaker 1: Maybe they play the role of spoiler. He threw for

57
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:26,639
Speaker 1: four forty six four touchdowns in a big win over

58
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:31,160
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes. Burrow has thrown for just under one thousand

59
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:35,760
Speaker 1: yards in his last two games. Now he's got a

60
00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:38,600
Speaker 1: weapon in Jamar Chase. He broke the rookie receiving record

61
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:42,680
Speaker 1: this weekend. Te Higgins has become a tough matchup as well,

62
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:46,600
Speaker 1: and Sunday's win gives the Bengals the FFC's number three seed.

63
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:49,440
Speaker 1: I don't know if they're making noise in the playoffs.

64
00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:52,240
Speaker 1: I just know they've made noise so far. And the

65
00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:55,320
Speaker 1: noise you used to hear was the Bengals were the Bungals.

66
00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:59,520
Speaker 1: Not anymore, because Joe Burrow is just beginning what should

67
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:02,480
Speaker 1: be a great run in Cincinnati, and he spoke to

68
00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:06,280
Speaker 1: the media after the win against Kansas City. I think

69
00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:09,200
Speaker 1: said that he knows and you know that when you're

70
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:12,119
Speaker 1: feeling pressure, just throw the ball down and he knows

71
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:14,080
Speaker 1: who to go to. Yeah, I said it. I said

72
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:16,720
Speaker 1: it in the post game. On the field, everyone knows

73
00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:21,279
Speaker 1: that mean no effort. Jamar's down there somewhere. I'm gonna

74
00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:23,640
Speaker 1: just throw it up to him. He's gonna make a play,

75
00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:26,279
Speaker 1: all right. I like that they went for it on

76
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:30,880
Speaker 1: fourth down. Down. We could be talking about something different today,

77
00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:33,960
Speaker 1: and that is the result here. Joe Burrow got banged up,

78
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:37,360
Speaker 1: had to go to the sidelines. Now seems to be okay,

79
00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:40,200
Speaker 1: but keep in mind, you know, missing the second half

80
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:43,279
Speaker 1: of the season with the knee injury, knee surgery last year,

81
00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:46,280
Speaker 1: but they go for it on fourth down. I like

82
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:49,520
Speaker 1: when my team or teams go forward on fourth down.

83
00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:52,800
Speaker 1: But this is certainly a trend right now, and you're

84
00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:57,040
Speaker 1: seeing this with younger coaches that they have the analytics,

85
00:04:57,120 --> 00:05:01,400
Speaker 1: the philosophy. But if you have confidence in your team,

86
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:04,680
Speaker 1: then go for it. But I don't think you should

87
00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:07,200
Speaker 1: go for it just because, hey, you know the analytics

88
00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:10,840
Speaker 1: say who am I playing against? Who's the other quarterback?

89
00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:13,400
Speaker 1: Like those are the things where I'm watching the Jets

90
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:15,400
Speaker 1: yesterday and I'm going, Okay, they're going for it on

91
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:18,080
Speaker 1: fourth down. Okay, they're going for it for fourth down

92
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:20,640
Speaker 1: because they want to keep the ball out of Brady's

93
00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:22,880
Speaker 1: hands or they want to make sure they score a

94
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:25,920
Speaker 1: touchdown so Brady is not going to hurt them. And

95
00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:28,320
Speaker 1: the same with Patrick Mahomes. If I go for it

96
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:30,520
Speaker 1: on fourth down, I'm going for it because I don't

97
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:32,520
Speaker 1: want that guy to get the chance to beat me.

98
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:36,520
Speaker 1: I understand the philosophy there. You know, It's like if

99
00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:38,560
Speaker 1: the Packers needed to go for it on fourth down

100
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:41,159
Speaker 1: last night, knowing that they didn't have to deal with

101
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:46,159
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins. Yeah, I understand that, or even if you

102
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:48,640
Speaker 1: have to deal with Kirk Cousins, you're probably going, all right,

103
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:52,520
Speaker 1: we'll take our chances here, certain quarterbacks, certain teams, you'll

104
00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:55,760
Speaker 1: take the chance. The Jets going for it. While I

105
00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:57,880
Speaker 1: didn't have a problem with it, I did have a

106
00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:01,360
Speaker 1: problem with the play where I got Zach Wilson carrying

107
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:04,960
Speaker 1: the football there because I know I got Tom Brady.

108
00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:07,039
Speaker 1: If you don't make it, then you have to deal

109
00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:12,320
Speaker 1: with Tom Brady. So Tom Brady ninety plus yards, doesn't

110
00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:16,560
Speaker 1: have Antonio Brown. They haven't played well, and here's Brady

111
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:21,080
Speaker 1: with no timeouts going against a quote unquote defensive genius

112
00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:26,440
Speaker 1: in Robert Sala, the Jets head coach. You know, I

113
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:29,200
Speaker 1: was surprised. There were people who were surprised that Brady

114
00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:34,200
Speaker 1: did do it. So it's like ninety plus yards, no timeouts,

115
00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:37,679
Speaker 1: and you're going, I don't know Brady gonna dink and dunk.

116
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:42,919
Speaker 1: Well he did until you forgot, like you let a

117
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:46,159
Speaker 1: receiver get behind you. And I always go back to this.

118
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:49,080
Speaker 1: Robert Sala was the defensive coordinated with the forty niners

119
00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:51,039
Speaker 1: in the Super Bowl against the Chiefs. The one guy

120
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:54,960
Speaker 1: you can't let get behind your defense was Tyreek Hill,

121
00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:58,880
Speaker 1: and Tyreck Hill got behind the defense, and that proved

122
00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:01,640
Speaker 1: to be the big I guess play that in that

123
00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:04,920
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. And then you have this moment. Now granted

124
00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:08,120
Speaker 1: it's the Jets against Tom Brady, but sort of you know,

125
00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:12,280
Speaker 1: emblematic of the Jets being the Jets and Tom Brady

126
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:15,000
Speaker 1: being Tom Brady. I can't let anybody get behind me.

127
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:17,680
Speaker 1: The only way I can lose is he's gonna score

128
00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:21,640
Speaker 1: a touchdown. That's it. And it's a fifth string wide

129
00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:25,280
Speaker 1: receiver who was in because Antonio Brown went a wall

130
00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:28,560
Speaker 1: and you still found a way to do it. Now,

131
00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:32,480
Speaker 1: I think the Buccaneers are flawed this year, greatly flawed

132
00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:35,320
Speaker 1: this year. I don't think that's a I think it's

133
00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:38,280
Speaker 1: a good team, unlike it's a great team. But Brady

134
00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:41,600
Speaker 1: doing what Brady does, and that is you're gonna go

135
00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:44,000
Speaker 1: for it on fourth down. You're gonna have your rookie

136
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:46,680
Speaker 1: quarterback run a play and your two yards out by

137
00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:49,360
Speaker 1: the way Robert Sali said, way, I'll go for one yard.

138
00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:52,320
Speaker 1: You know you were two yards away and you screwed

139
00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:57,960
Speaker 1: up the play. Other than that, okay, you make the

140
00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:01,000
Speaker 1: mistake with not even getting the right play call, and

141
00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:04,800
Speaker 1: you didn't even you know, protect the end zone with

142
00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:08,320
Speaker 1: Tom Brady other than that great job in the last

143
00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:12,760
Speaker 1: minute a half. And the Jets were the better team yesterday.

144
00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:19,600
Speaker 1: Oh I'm sorry, they were. They were better than the Buccaneers.

145
00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:23,400
Speaker 1: They are you're still saying, yes, they were better than

146
00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:27,040
Speaker 1: the Buccaneers yesterday. They ran the football you know Brady,

147
00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:30,880
Speaker 1: of course was Brady. But still you should have won

148
00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:35,040
Speaker 1: that game. Let's put it that way. This program, award nominated,

00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:04,200
Speaker 1: handle the poll question duties here? Now that we've we've

156
00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:06,200
Speaker 1: lost mclovan, I'm gonna try out for the gig today.

157
00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:09,520
Speaker 1: It's like a one day job, you know, I'm my temp. Okay, okay,

158
00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:11,600
Speaker 1: here's one. If you don't have a team in the playoffs.

159
00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:13,520
Speaker 1: I'm a Bears fan. They're not making the playoffs obviously,

160
00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:15,600
Speaker 1: So do you pick a team to root for? Which

161
00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:17,120
Speaker 1: team if you don't have a team, is the most

162
00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:21,440
Speaker 1: rootable going into the playoffs? The Bengals, the Bills, the Cardinals,

163
00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:24,040
Speaker 1: other The Bengals haven't been in the Super Bowl a

164
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:28,439
Speaker 1: long long time. Usually down fun team Bills, it's been

165
00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:32,640
Speaker 1: a long long time likable fan base Cardinals, same deal.

166
00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:34,480
Speaker 1: They've been in the Super Bowl, they haven't won it.

167
00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:38,679
Speaker 1: Who's the most rootable if you don't have a team,

168
00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:41,160
Speaker 1: I'd have to look at who will will get in.

169
00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:43,880
Speaker 1: If the Chargers get in, then I would root for

170
00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:46,600
Speaker 1: the Charge, But I might root for the Raiders as

171
00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:50,320
Speaker 1: well with everything that they've gone through. Being a Cincinnati native,

172
00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:53,240
Speaker 1: I'm supposed to say the Bengals, and I do like

173
00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:56,240
Speaker 1: what I see. I love watching Burrow. He reminds me here,

174
00:09:56,600 --> 00:10:00,400
Speaker 1: here's the movie character character you. I just want to

175
00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:07,079
Speaker 1: guess the movie character that Joe Burrow reminds me of Todd.

176
00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:10,000
Speaker 1: You're very limited when it comes to pop culture. No,

177
00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:11,839
Speaker 1: I just think he looks like the Home Alone kid

178
00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:16,880
Speaker 1: that I always think of that Okay, from Home Alone

179
00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:19,960
Speaker 1: or now not now, Oh, not gonna. He looks like

180
00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:22,520
Speaker 1: the little kid when he smacks his hands to his

181
00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:24,760
Speaker 1: cheeks on home alone. Okay, I just see that every

182
00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:27,240
Speaker 1: time I see Joe. Okay, all right, So the the

183
00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:33,319
Speaker 1: movie character whose look and personality reminds me of Joe Burrow,

184
00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:36,640
Speaker 1: see no counter, We'll go with Jimmy Chitwood from Jimmy

185
00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:40,880
Speaker 1: Who's ship would sport but right vibe? Okay, I can

186
00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:44,199
Speaker 1: see the look didn't have the swag that Joe Burrow

187
00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:47,760
Speaker 1: has even though he said I'll make it. Yeah, it

188
00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:50,559
Speaker 1: kind of had that quiet confidence, that quiet swagger like

189
00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:52,080
Speaker 1: I don't need to do all this big stuff. I

190
00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:55,079
Speaker 1: got this. But I think Joe has a little bit

191
00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:59,000
Speaker 1: of that over the top swag here wet more Yeah, yeah, Paulie,

192
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:00,920
Speaker 1: I don't think it'll be right here. But based off

193
00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:05,280
Speaker 1: looks and hair Jonathan Moxon played by James Vanderbeek very

194
00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:08,080
Speaker 1: well and Varsity Blues, then no, I just wanted to

195
00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:11,000
Speaker 1: mention that he doesn't want your life. I don't want

196
00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:18,280
Speaker 1: your alive solid guests. No, it wasn't Vince Vaughn in Swingers. Okay, okay, yeah,

197
00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:22,400
Speaker 1: has the same build, same look. Jane Wallett. Yeah, and

198
00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:25,960
Speaker 1: he has that swag that he is. He's got it

199
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:31,679
Speaker 1: all under control. Vince Vaughn swingers Joe Burrow with a

200
00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:35,360
Speaker 1: better arm than Vince Vaughn and probably more mobility than

201
00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:38,400
Speaker 1: Vince Vaughn. And Vince Vaughn was in Rudy as a

202
00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:42,840
Speaker 1: wide receiver. I believe a different Jamie O'Hara, Remember what

203
00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:44,760
Speaker 1: they said. I just didn't have the heart of Rudiger.

204
00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:47,840
Speaker 1: He would have been All American number forty four. Jamie O'Hara,

00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:38,040

237
00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:40,640
Speaker 1: answer your question there of if I don't have a

238
00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:44,600
Speaker 1: team most rootable, the Bengals can see, you know, the

239
00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:48,040
Speaker 1: Bengals gave us two of the most competitive Super Bowls

240
00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:51,040
Speaker 1: of all time and losing to Joe Montana both times.

241
00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:54,200
Speaker 1: I don't know if they're going to get to the

242
00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:57,280
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. I wouldn't expect them to, but I do

243
00:13:57,360 --> 00:13:59,840
Speaker 1: think it's fun to watch. You know, when you have

244
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:03,320
Speaker 1: quarterback wide receiver and you see that in the beginning

245
00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:08,800
Speaker 1: the embryonic stages of their careers, that's what's wonderful. Because

246
00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:11,439
Speaker 1: there was talk that Cincinnati was going to take an

247
00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:14,960
Speaker 1: offensive lineman, Penny Sewell, they were going to take him,

248
00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:18,640
Speaker 1: and a lot of people thought because Joe got injured

249
00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:20,360
Speaker 1: and you wanted to make sure that you were going

250
00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:23,760
Speaker 1: to protect your quarterback, and they were taking Jamar Chase,

251
00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:27,960
Speaker 1: who didn't even play last year, and they have been

252
00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:30,640
Speaker 1: I mean, that's dynamic, it really is. That was a

253
00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:33,480
Speaker 1: fun game to watch. A few other games to talk about,

254
00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:36,440
Speaker 1: but we'll dive into what happened with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

255
00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:40,440
Speaker 1: They gotta win, but it certainly feels like it's a loss.

256
00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:43,600
Speaker 1: We'll check in with them about Antonio Brown, what was

257
00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:46,920
Speaker 1: at the root of all of this, and is Antonio

258
00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:50,720
Speaker 1: Brown done. We'll take a break. It's coming up on

279
00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:59,120
Speaker 1: Bay Buccaneers, here is Tom Brady yesterday after the game

280
00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:03,240
Speaker 1: talking about Antonio Brown. How disappointed are you? Bruce Arian said,

281
00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:05,840
Speaker 1: he's no longer a buck. Yeah, I mean that's um

282
00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:09,760
Speaker 1: obviously a difficult situation. And you know, I think we

283
00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:13,280
Speaker 1: all want you know, him to to you know, just

284
00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:15,920
Speaker 1: I think everybody should find, you know, hopefully do what

285
00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:17,800
Speaker 1: they can to help him in ways that you know

286
00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:20,760
Speaker 1: he really needs it. And you know, we all love him,

287
00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:22,680
Speaker 1: We care about him deeply. You know, we want to

288
00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:24,840
Speaker 1: see him be at his best and you know, unfortunately

289
00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:26,400
Speaker 1: won't be with our team, but we have a lot

290
00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:28,960
Speaker 1: of friendships that that will last. And again, I think

291
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:31,280
Speaker 1: the most important thing about football of the relationships with

292
00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:33,560
Speaker 1: their your friends and your teammates, and they go beyond

293
00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:36,480
Speaker 1: the field. And I think everyone should should be very

294
00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:41,200
Speaker 1: compassionate and empathetic toward some very difficult things that are happening.

295
00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:43,840
Speaker 1: And here's what Bruce Arians had to say. This is

296
00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:46,280
Speaker 1: all he had to say about Antonio Brown. We want

297
00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:48,240
Speaker 1: to talk about that last drive, but I have to

298
00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:51,880
Speaker 1: start with can you tell us what happened to Antonio Brown?

299
00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:53,920
Speaker 1: Did he quit? I've never seen a guy leave a

300
00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:56,440
Speaker 1: field like that? And is this the last strike for him?

301
00:16:56,680 --> 00:16:58,520
Speaker 1: He is no longer a buck? All right, that's the

302
00:16:58,600 --> 00:16:59,880
Speaker 1: end of the story. Let's talk about the guys that

303
00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:02,360
Speaker 1: not there. On one day game springing Greg Allman, he

00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:12,680
Speaker 1: up to this moment with Antonio Brown? Yeah, it's kind

307
00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:14,520
Speaker 1: of hard. There's a little bit of a he said.

308
00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:18,240
Speaker 1: She said in terms of whether whether Bruce arians told

309
00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:20,200
Speaker 1: him he was done for the day or asked him

310
00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:22,800
Speaker 1: to leave. It's one of those where Abe's been dealing

311
00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:27,080
Speaker 1: with an ankle injury for some time. My understanding things

312
00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:28,919
Speaker 1: is that they asked Aby to go back in the

313
00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:30,800
Speaker 1: game and he said he couldn't because of his ankle,

314
00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:33,120
Speaker 1: and Bruce told him if you're if you're not going

315
00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:35,240
Speaker 1: in now, you're done for the day. And that set

316
00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:37,600
Speaker 1: him off, and that's what set him to pull his

317
00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:40,159
Speaker 1: jersey off and his shirt off. And run through the

318
00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:42,520
Speaker 1: end zone to the tunnel and out of the bucks,

319
00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:44,760
Speaker 1: if not out of the league. What was his injury

320
00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:48,960
Speaker 1: status going into the game. Yeah, he tweaked his ankle midweek,

321
00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:50,920
Speaker 1: didn't practice after Wednesday, so it was kind of a

322
00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:53,640
Speaker 1: question mark whether he'd go or not. But he looked

323
00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:55,840
Speaker 1: fine for the game. Had a nice catch at a

324
00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:59,400
Speaker 1: twenty one year to catch earlier in the game. Seemed fine.

325
00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:01,320
Speaker 1: It didn't see like something an issue. Obviously, you can

326
00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:04,040
Speaker 1: aggravate things pretty easily during a game, but was kind

327
00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:06,639
Speaker 1: of getting his normal usage, normal playing time. He's got

328
00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:09,239
Speaker 1: some incentives that would have kicked in with a few

329
00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:12,639
Speaker 1: more catches or one more touchdown, So no, everything seemed

330
00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:14,960
Speaker 1: like he should be. I had first noticed it just

331
00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:16,880
Speaker 1: on that drive. It was it was a touchdown drive

332
00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:19,280
Speaker 1: and I saw Breshad Perriman was in the game kind

333
00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:20,600
Speaker 1: of for the first time, and it was like, wait,

334
00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:22,560
Speaker 1: why is burshade of the game? Where is a b

335
00:18:23,040 --> 00:18:25,159
Speaker 1: And it kind of went from there. There was a

336
00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:28,840
Speaker 1: moment and I took note of it. Brady's walking down

337
00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:31,800
Speaker 1: the sidelines and he's talking to a couple of guys

338
00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:34,920
Speaker 1: like he felt like he was like, let's go and

339
00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:39,399
Speaker 1: he says something to Antonio Brown, and Antonio Brown looked

340
00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:42,359
Speaker 1: like he was so disinterested. So I don't know, I

341
00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:44,960
Speaker 1: don't know where we were at that moment or he

342
00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:47,920
Speaker 1: was in his head, but it felt like he'd already

343
00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:50,800
Speaker 1: checked out. I don't know if I'm being fair to

344
00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:53,640
Speaker 1: the situation, but I did. It was interesting because Brady's

345
00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:59,359
Speaker 1: always Brady Antonio Brown, you know, he's following Tom. I mean,

346
00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:02,520
Speaker 1: he's there because of Tom, and that's what was surprising.

347
00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:05,800
Speaker 1: And wasn't Brady in the huddle when Ab did what

348
00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:08,000
Speaker 1: he did on the sideline, So I mean he had

349
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:10,879
Speaker 1: to be going, what the hell was going on here? Right? Oh?

350
00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:12,679
Speaker 1: And talk to players. I don't think we really got

351
00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:14,520
Speaker 1: an answer from players. We didn't talk to Mike Evans.

352
00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:16,800
Speaker 1: Mike was probably the guy that was the closest to

353
00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:19,720
Speaker 1: trying to rain Antonio an and kind of hey, don't

354
00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:21,720
Speaker 1: don't do this, don't don't walk off the field in

355
00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:24,440
Speaker 1: the middle of the game to no avail. So yeah,

356
00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:26,800
Speaker 1: when we talked to when we asked other guys, even

357
00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:30,040
Speaker 1: lebon Bell, who's known Ab since Pittsburgh days, you know,

358
00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:32,000
Speaker 1: I don't think he realized the extent of it until

359
00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:34,919
Speaker 1: even after the game. In terms of this, the finality

360
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:37,919
Speaker 1: of it that he's done, I think it just kind

361
00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:40,720
Speaker 1: of unfolded, and as you might imagine, Brady and most

362
00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:42,760
Speaker 1: of the guys on offense, we're focused on trying to

363
00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:44,359
Speaker 1: get a touchdown just to make it a one score

364
00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:46,920
Speaker 1: game late in the third quarter. Yeah, that's crazy. Where

365
00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:50,280
Speaker 1: did he go after the game? It's funny with ab

366
00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:52,720
Speaker 1: like everything is on social media, so like went into

367
00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:55,720
Speaker 1: the tunnel. I think ESPN said he had asked security

368
00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:57,520
Speaker 1: at the stadium for a ride to the airport and

369
00:19:57,600 --> 00:20:00,760
Speaker 1: they declined, and then you know, I was waiting outside

370
00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:03,399
Speaker 1: the stadium. He got kind of a celebrity uber driver

371
00:20:03,560 --> 00:20:05,119
Speaker 1: in New York to take him into the city. It

372
00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:09,679
Speaker 1: sounds like he's posting links to rap songs. He's posting.

373
00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:11,720
Speaker 1: I don't know that he's back in Tampa yet, but

374
00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:14,760
Speaker 1: he's it's kind of immaterial at this point where he is.

375
00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:17,520
Speaker 1: It felt like Bruce arians was in a real delicate

376
00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:22,639
Speaker 1: situation here because Tom Brady wanted Antonio Brown and I

377
00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:25,440
Speaker 1: don't know if Bruce said, look, he's on you in

378
00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:28,720
Speaker 1: your care. He's under your watch here, Tom, because I

379
00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:30,680
Speaker 1: don't want him here, it felt like he didn't want

380
00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:33,720
Speaker 1: him back after the you know, the fake vaccination card.

381
00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:36,440
Speaker 1: How much of this is on Tom Brady of this

382
00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:40,000
Speaker 1: situation where it is right now, I think Tom vouch

383
00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:42,000
Speaker 1: for Antonio. I mean, and it's funny because they played

384
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:44,119
Speaker 1: together for one game. They don't have this long history

385
00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:46,280
Speaker 1: together like he had Edelman coming in or something. But

386
00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:49,240
Speaker 1: I do think having Tom vouch for you carries a

387
00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:51,280
Speaker 1: lot of weight with his team and with his coaching staff.

388
00:20:52,040 --> 00:20:54,320
Speaker 1: And I do think you know, Bruce arians was reluctant

389
00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:56,440
Speaker 1: on this. If you talked to Bruce, you know, early

390
00:20:56,520 --> 00:20:58,600
Speaker 1: twenty twenty, he said it wasn't a match. He said

391
00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:00,720
Speaker 1: he was too much of a diva. And I think

392
00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:02,440
Speaker 1: part of it was just the injury situation of the

393
00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:04,240
Speaker 1: first half a last season, that Mike Evans and Chris

394
00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:07,040
Speaker 1: Godwin were both dealing with injuries and they wanted to

395
00:21:07,119 --> 00:21:10,760
Speaker 1: insulate themselves. They wanted one more Pro Bowl level receiver

396
00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:13,320
Speaker 1: that Brady would have no matter what, and you take

397
00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:15,480
Speaker 1: the risk that comes with that. And even at the

398
00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:17,600
Speaker 1: end of last season, he catches a touchdown the Super Bowl,

399
00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:20,280
Speaker 1: and you think how remarkable it is that things came

400
00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:22,879
Speaker 1: and went the entire season without incident. You didn't say

401
00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:26,240
Speaker 1: you're doing anything wrong, and unfortunately that came around you

402
00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:29,359
Speaker 1: here with the vaccine card issue this summer. He's Greg Alman.

403
00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:33,240
Speaker 1: He covers the Buccaneers for the Athletic. Could they deactivate

404
00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:37,280
Speaker 1: him to keep him off other rosters here? I'm curious

405
00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:38,720
Speaker 1: about that. It's a little bit like they had to

406
00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:40,959
Speaker 1: deal with Keishan Johnson the one year where they kind

407
00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:42,119
Speaker 1: of kept him on the roster at the end of

408
00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:44,560
Speaker 1: the year. I don't know how likely another team would

409
00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:46,359
Speaker 1: be to sign him. You want to think there's a

410
00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:49,760
Speaker 1: level of radioactivity where you don't pick a guy up immediately.

411
00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:53,600
Speaker 1: But I'm sure somebody with the Raiders or somebody else

412
00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:59,560
Speaker 1: thought this is the NFL. Greg, come on right, Maybe

413
00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:03,640
Speaker 1: Larry Fitzgerald. Maybe Tom reaches out to Larry Fitzgerald. Yeah,

414
00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:05,520
Speaker 1: it sounds like they've got a podcast together. It sounds

415
00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:08,719
Speaker 1: like Larry is pretty retired. Yeah, but the first thing,

416
00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:10,720
Speaker 1: obviously Brady has been able to bring guys out of

417
00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:13,840
Speaker 1: retirement before. So if it's not Fitzgerald talk, it's Edelman talk,

418
00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:16,760
Speaker 1: I think they probably have to move forward what they have.

419
00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:19,119
Speaker 1: But they've got some some big names they can call

420
00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:21,800
Speaker 1: if they wanted to. I just wonder how formidable this

421
00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:24,919
Speaker 1: team is now as opposed to last year when they

422
00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:27,680
Speaker 1: were on the role, they were healthy. This year, I

423
00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:29,840
Speaker 1: don't know. If they're on a roll and they're not

424
00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:35,440
Speaker 1: healthy handicap their chances here come playoff TEA. It's tough

425
00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:37,119
Speaker 1: because they're missing so many guys. I mean it's not

426
00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:40,280
Speaker 1: just Godwin and Brownett receiver, I mean Leonard Fernette's a

427
00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:43,520
Speaker 1: question mark. Lavante David is a question mark. Both of

428
00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:46,480
Speaker 1: their pass rusher, Shack Barrett and JPP didn't play yesterday,

429
00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:48,800
Speaker 1: so you don't know how close to one hundred percent

430
00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:50,720
Speaker 1: they're going to be in two weeks when the playoffs starts.

431
00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:53,720
Speaker 1: I think they can help themselves with seating the Cowboys.

432
00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:56,800
Speaker 1: Losing yesterday bumped them up to a three seed. If

433
00:22:56,840 --> 00:22:59,280
Speaker 1: they can get the Rams to lose on Sunday, they

434
00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:01,960
Speaker 1: could be a two. Tom Brady's path to the Super

435
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:04,280
Speaker 1: Bowl has always been at home. Last year was kind

436
00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:06,320
Speaker 1: of an anomaly because being on the road you didn't

437
00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:08,520
Speaker 1: have to do with crowds. So they won three road games,

438
00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:11,080
Speaker 1: but they did it in largely empty stadium. So I

439
00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:13,560
Speaker 1: think if they want to be able to get to

440
00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:16,520
Speaker 1: Los Angeles. They need an easier path, and I think

441
00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:18,240
Speaker 1: right now they's probably gonna have to go through Lamboat

442
00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:19,720
Speaker 1: no matter what, unless somebody can take care of the

443
00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:22,000
Speaker 1: Packers for they get there. It'll be the same thing

444
00:23:22,040 --> 00:23:25,119
Speaker 1: they had last year, an NFC championship game in Green

445
00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:28,240
Speaker 1: Bay in January and a lot more fans there this

446
00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:30,920
Speaker 1: time around. I know Tom Brady was saying that, you know,

447
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:34,320
Speaker 1: we should be compassionate here, you know that let's look

448
00:23:34,359 --> 00:23:39,000
Speaker 1: at this if like he's acknowledging Antonio Brown has something issues,

449
00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:44,040
Speaker 1: But were those issues addressed as a person not a

450
00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:47,440
Speaker 1: player when Antonio Brown got there. I mean Tom knows

451
00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:50,320
Speaker 1: that that there's something there. I just don't know if

452
00:23:50,359 --> 00:23:54,119
Speaker 1: he was seeking help or helping him to be, you know,

453
00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:57,440
Speaker 1: be more comfortable and who he is here. Yeah, I

454
00:23:57,480 --> 00:23:59,280
Speaker 1: think you know, early on when Aby came here, he

455
00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:02,080
Speaker 1: talked about, you know, meeting with Tony Robbins, getting to

456
00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:04,560
Speaker 1: a better place. I think there was a time last

457
00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:07,240
Speaker 1: season where he was really in a good place in

458
00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:11,119
Speaker 1: terms of handling himself, having the right attitude now only

459
00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:13,640
Speaker 1: about football, but everything else. I didn't get that sense

460
00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:15,360
Speaker 1: as much, and I don't know if the Bucks helped

461
00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:17,960
Speaker 1: him this fall just in enabling him. You know, you

462
00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:20,800
Speaker 1: think about what he did, the way the team backed him,

463
00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:24,359
Speaker 1: how critical Arians was of the initial report, how dismissive

464
00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:27,399
Speaker 1: he was of any criticism of his decision to keep

465
00:24:27,480 --> 00:24:30,560
Speaker 1: him on the team. I think it probably just emboldened

466
00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:32,640
Speaker 1: Antonio Brown to think he can do whatever he wants.

467
00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:35,240
Speaker 1: And that's what you saw yesterday afternoon, for sure, is

468
00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:39,800
Speaker 1: Bruce Arians on the injury list. He does, he's gotten it.

469
00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:41,680
Speaker 1: He told us last night that his achilles ten and

470
00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:44,680
Speaker 1: his fifty percent torn, so he's doing everything he can

471
00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:48,280
Speaker 1: to avoid surgery, both now and in general. He's sixty

472
00:24:48,359 --> 00:24:50,959
Speaker 1: nine years old and achilles surgery is a big thing

473
00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:53,600
Speaker 1: at any age. We saw yesterday before the game, he

474
00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:56,120
Speaker 1: literally took he has a golf cart that he usually

475
00:24:56,280 --> 00:24:59,080
Speaker 1: rides around practice in and they literally took him all

476
00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:01,200
Speaker 1: the way up to the third in pregame and dropped

477
00:25:01,280 --> 00:25:03,280
Speaker 1: him off to be on the sidelines. I think it's

478
00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:06,000
Speaker 1: just a lot right now for him to be standing

479
00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:08,560
Speaker 1: for three four hours on a sideline, and I'm sure

480
00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:10,560
Speaker 1: whenever their season is done, he'll be able to do

481
00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:12,480
Speaker 1: some things to make things better. But right now it's

482
00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:15,000
Speaker 1: it's not a comfortable thing for him. Greg, thanks for

483
00:25:15,119 --> 00:25:17,880
Speaker 1: joining us. We appreciate your time. Hey, thanks again. Guess

484
00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:22,400
Speaker 1: that's Greg Allman, the Bucks beat writer for The Athletic. Yeah,

485
00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:27,439
Speaker 1: Bruce's coaching with a torn or partially torn achilles. Yeah, seton.

486
00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:31,640
Speaker 1: I know people talking like signing the Buck signing Antonio

487
00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:35,040
Speaker 1: Brown has been this huge mistake. There's like this weird

488
00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:36,800
Speaker 1: tone to it where I don't I don't know a

489
00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:39,360
Speaker 1: team in the league who wouldn't sign up for You're

490
00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:40,920
Speaker 1: going to win a super Bowl this year, but in

491
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:43,280
Speaker 1: year two he's going to implode and you don't want

492
00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:46,399
Speaker 1: that deal. I mean, everybody would take that. No. I

493
00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:49,359
Speaker 1: just think that the people who are surprised that it

494
00:25:49,560 --> 00:25:54,800
Speaker 1: ended this way, that's surprising to me because somehow, some way,

495
00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:58,080
Speaker 1: Antonio Brown, it just felt like you're holding on for

496
00:25:58,240 --> 00:26:00,520
Speaker 1: dear life. There's the reason why he's been on four teams,

497
00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:05,000
Speaker 1: because there's other things in play. When he plays, he's wonderful.

498
00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:07,760
Speaker 1: If you said, hey, you're gonna win a Super Bowl,

499
00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:09,800
Speaker 1: he's going to be one of the stars along with Gronk.

500
00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:12,640
Speaker 1: You're going to sign up for that absolutely, and you're

501
00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:16,520
Speaker 1: hoping Tom would be able to keep him kind of

502
00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:18,600
Speaker 1: under his wing. I mean that was the point that

503
00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:21,400
Speaker 1: I thought, I don't know of any other quarterback where

504
00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:24,680
Speaker 1: he's going to go in and he's going to be

505
00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:27,800
Speaker 1: the good soldier there, the good teammate there. And you know,

506
00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:31,159
Speaker 1: that's where you let Tom Brady down, because this is Brady.

507
00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:35,960
Speaker 1: Brady voweds for you. And so I think, if I'm Tom,

508
00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:39,440
Speaker 1: I'm hurt by this, because that's where Antonio Brown has

509
00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:42,360
Speaker 1: got to at least have a moment where you say

510
00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:45,359
Speaker 1: to Tom, hey, you know what, I'm angry, I'm this

511
00:26:45,600 --> 00:26:48,639
Speaker 1: or whatever this is. I mean, that's career suicide. What

512
00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:51,119
Speaker 1: just happened. Maybe a team wants to pick him up,

513
00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:55,520
Speaker 1: maybe they will, but that was Tom vows for you,

514
00:26:55,920 --> 00:26:58,000
Speaker 1: And I think that that's what Antonio Brown. The only

515
00:26:58,040 --> 00:27:00,399
Speaker 1: person he needs to answer to, aside from him self,

516
00:27:01,080 --> 00:27:04,919
Speaker 1: is Tom Brady. It's almost like after the first year

517
00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:07,560
Speaker 1: went so well, you know, completely incident free and you

518
00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:10,639
Speaker 1: picked up a ring, how do you still keep that

519
00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:13,480
Speaker 1: player under that same wing after it's like, okay, it

520
00:27:13,560 --> 00:27:16,080
Speaker 1: already worked and now you're free to fly. I know,

521
00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:19,399
Speaker 1: you know, I know, I know, but you know I

522
00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:24,440
Speaker 1: I'm on record as saying that there there's something there

523
00:27:24,520 --> 00:27:26,879
Speaker 1: with Antonio Brown, and I go back to the hit

524
00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:31,440
Speaker 1: by Vontes Burfick of the Bengals after that, and I

525
00:27:31,520 --> 00:27:33,879
Speaker 1: don't know if there's any proof. I don't know if

526
00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:37,639
Speaker 1: he's ever been diagnosed, but there is something there. And

527
00:27:37,760 --> 00:27:42,440
Speaker 1: he went from a great underdog story to a path

528
00:27:42,600 --> 00:27:46,600
Speaker 1: for the Hall of Fame, and he became a personality.

529
00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:51,760
Speaker 1: You know, Mike Tomlin, you know that'll eventually come out.

530
00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:54,080
Speaker 1: I think one of these days where what they dealt

531
00:27:54,119 --> 00:27:57,560
Speaker 1: with Roethlisberger and Tomlin with with a B because he

532
00:27:57,720 --> 00:28:02,040
Speaker 1: became almost separate from the team. He was that big

533
00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:04,720
Speaker 1: of a star and a diva, and that's why he

534
00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:07,440
Speaker 1: started to bounce around. But the other stuff, when you start,

535
00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:10,520
Speaker 1: I mean, there's an accumulation, there's a track record here,

536
00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:15,080
Speaker 1: But that was it went from Fritzie. You described it

537
00:28:15,280 --> 00:28:18,520
Speaker 1: best when you look at the Antonio Brown situation. You

538
00:28:18,640 --> 00:28:21,320
Speaker 1: came up with three words to describe what you were

539
00:28:21,359 --> 00:28:27,880
Speaker 1: watching entertaining bizarre followed by sad experience. Yeah I was watching, Yeah,

540
00:28:28,160 --> 00:28:32,280
Speaker 1: and I understand those emotions. You're like, Okay, that's a

541
00:28:32,440 --> 00:28:36,760
Speaker 1: b Wow, that's bizarre. Security thought that he was, you know,

542
00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:40,440
Speaker 1: a fan, a streaker. Now their backs are to the field,

543
00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:42,640
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden they turned around. They got

544
00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:45,320
Speaker 1: a guy with his shirt off. They think that he

545
00:28:45,480 --> 00:28:49,600
Speaker 1: might be a streaker or just a fan running on

546
00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:52,720
Speaker 1: the field, and then you realize as he gives a

547
00:28:52,840 --> 00:28:57,760
Speaker 1: peace outside. I guess that hint. And I don't know

548
00:28:58,000 --> 00:28:59,920
Speaker 1: how important the Hall of Fame was. I don't know

549
00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:02,680
Speaker 1: how important the million dollars that he was going to

550
00:29:02,760 --> 00:29:05,920
Speaker 1: reach in bonuses. I don't know any of that. But

551
00:29:06,280 --> 00:29:09,320
Speaker 1: all I know is in the moment, what he did

552
00:29:10,280 --> 00:29:14,240
Speaker 1: that doesn't happen, That doesn't happen to somebody who's stable,

553
00:29:14,760 --> 00:29:17,560
Speaker 1: And you would think, I'm with Tampa. I got a

554
00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:19,720
Speaker 1: chance to get these bonuses. Okay, I might not be

555
00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:24,280
Speaker 1: able to play now if I just didn't understand that

556
00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:28,000
Speaker 1: he was he benched and then Bruce arians asked him

557
00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:31,000
Speaker 1: to come back in Was he injured and never should

558
00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:33,280
Speaker 1: have been asked to come back in the game. I'm

559
00:29:33,320 --> 00:29:37,000
Speaker 1: not quite sure. It's still vague, and I don't know

560
00:29:37,120 --> 00:29:41,320
Speaker 1: if we're gonna find out anything anytime soon. But all

561
00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:44,080
Speaker 1: I know is Tom Brady is saying that we should

562
00:29:44,080 --> 00:29:50,160
Speaker 1: be compassionate Okay, were people compassionate and understanding about him

563
00:29:50,320 --> 00:29:55,400
Speaker 1: prior to this? Was anybody helping him? It feels like

564
00:29:55,520 --> 00:29:58,080
Speaker 1: he could still play foot. He's the guy in this.

565
00:29:58,520 --> 00:30:02,360
Speaker 1: I've covered sports now for almost forty years, and I

566
00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:07,680
Speaker 1: see this happen every sport moves on. What's going to

567
00:30:07,800 --> 00:30:11,680
Speaker 1: happen to Antonio Brown? Now you may go, wow, who cares?

568
00:30:11,760 --> 00:30:14,240
Speaker 1: I mean, that's part of the process here, That's part

569
00:30:14,280 --> 00:30:17,320
Speaker 1: of the problem. Hey, we love you, No, we don't

570
00:30:17,360 --> 00:30:21,760
Speaker 1: care about you. Ask Johnny Manziel, how's it going? Nobody cares?

571
00:30:23,120 --> 00:30:25,320
Speaker 1: But this seems to be a little bit more tragic,

572
00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:29,800
Speaker 1: a little bit more serious. And I wondered about this

573
00:30:30,400 --> 00:30:33,920
Speaker 1: with Metaworld Peace. I wondered about this with Dennis Rodman,

574
00:30:35,040 --> 00:30:40,160
Speaker 1: even Tarall Owens, Like, you just wonder because once you're done,

575
00:30:40,480 --> 00:30:44,760
Speaker 1: nobody cares. And Antonio Brown, by all accounts, when we

576
00:30:44,840 --> 00:30:48,840
Speaker 1: were around him, he was charismatic as can be. When

577
00:30:48,840 --> 00:30:51,040
Speaker 1: we'd have him on at the Super Bowl, he walked

578
00:30:51,080 --> 00:30:53,640
Speaker 1: in and he could light up a room. And I

579
00:30:53,800 --> 00:30:56,720
Speaker 1: just hope somebody actually looks at him as a person

580
00:30:56,800 --> 00:31:01,240
Speaker 1: and not a football player a commodity, because that's really

581
00:31:01,920 --> 00:31:05,160
Speaker 1: the crux of all of this. It's always been there.

582
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:08,719
Speaker 1: It's just you put another blanket over it, in another blanket,

583
00:31:08,720 --> 00:31:11,200
Speaker 1: another coat of paint, another coat of paint. Here we go,

584
00:31:11,520 --> 00:31:14,040
Speaker 1: and then you kind of let it. Okay, Yeah, heb

585
00:31:14,520 --> 00:31:17,480
Speaker 1: he's doing we supposed to be doing. It's just a

586
00:31:17,560 --> 00:31:21,920
Speaker 1: matter of time. Can't help himself. Bruce Arian said it.

587
00:31:22,520 --> 00:31:28,600
Speaker 1: He cannot help himself. Yeah. See, there's a really fine

588
00:31:28,680 --> 00:31:33,040
Speaker 1: line though, between helping someone and enabling someone. Last year,

589
00:31:33,120 --> 00:31:35,720
Speaker 1: the storyline was Tom Brady helped Antonio Brown and look

590
00:31:35,720 --> 00:31:37,160
Speaker 1: at how he got his life back on track. This

591
00:31:37,280 --> 00:31:39,640
Speaker 1: year it's he enabled him and now look at the implosion.

592
00:31:39,920 --> 00:31:43,640
Speaker 1: It's kind of results based. Yeah, in a way because

593
00:31:43,720 --> 00:31:47,720
Speaker 1: that you know, how do you how do you continue

594
00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:51,760
Speaker 1: to help someone but then also just allow them to

595
00:31:51,840 --> 00:31:56,120
Speaker 1: do their own thing? You know, Well, I don't want

596
00:31:56,160 --> 00:31:59,040
Speaker 1: to put all this on Brady, but Brady did co

597
00:31:59,240 --> 00:32:01,600
Speaker 1: sign on this. So I think this was Tom saying

598
00:32:02,240 --> 00:32:04,760
Speaker 1: I want him here now. He wanted him in New

599
00:32:04,840 --> 00:32:09,600
Speaker 1: England even though the owner didn't want him. Tom vows

600
00:32:09,640 --> 00:32:15,240
Speaker 1: for Antonio Brown. But that's where ab let Tom Brady

601
00:32:15,320 --> 00:32:20,520
Speaker 1: down because Tom Brady, you know, putting his reputation on

602
00:32:20,680 --> 00:32:23,440
Speaker 1: the line. Let him stay in his house. I mean,

603
00:32:23,560 --> 00:32:26,960
Speaker 1: really took him under his wing. And but even with

604
00:32:27,160 --> 00:32:32,320
Speaker 1: that understanding that he still couldn't help himself in that situation,

605
00:32:34,200 --> 00:32:36,240
Speaker 1: and another team will pick him up if they think

606
00:32:36,280 --> 00:32:41,240
Speaker 1: he can play. It really feels like that. Yeah, Paul

607
00:32:41,440 --> 00:32:44,760
Speaker 1: and Brown's numbers, you know, not huge, but he started

608
00:32:44,800 --> 00:32:46,880
Speaker 1: three games, he was in seven games, He had forty

609
00:32:46,880 --> 00:32:49,480
Speaker 1: two catches. He averaged six catches per game. He was

610
00:32:49,520 --> 00:32:51,360
Speaker 1: having a nice season. The one thing for me, I

611
00:32:51,400 --> 00:32:55,520
Speaker 1: guess I'm torn with Isa as another chance playing football

612
00:32:56,000 --> 00:32:58,040
Speaker 1: good or bad for him. Yes, you have the structure

613
00:32:58,080 --> 00:33:00,680
Speaker 1: of football and the pay and team to help you.

614
00:33:01,080 --> 00:33:03,760
Speaker 1: But if if you do that, doesn't it just excuse

615
00:33:03,840 --> 00:33:07,000
Speaker 1: all your behaviors from the past. I've said it for

616
00:33:07,120 --> 00:33:10,240
Speaker 1: a long time. He needs help, but his help, no

617
00:33:10,600 --> 00:33:14,880
Speaker 1: help is not football. Yeah, it's not it. It just

618
00:33:15,160 --> 00:33:18,080
Speaker 1: covers up everything, like give that roster spot to someone else.

619
00:33:18,520 --> 00:33:22,040
Speaker 1: He needs to just have. He needs to focus on

620
00:33:22,200 --> 00:33:26,640
Speaker 1: what he is, you know, haunting him. I mean, he

621
00:33:26,760 --> 00:33:28,600
Speaker 1: might be bipolar. He could be I mean, there are

622
00:33:28,760 --> 00:33:32,000
Speaker 1: so many different things, and maybe he's just not a

623
00:33:32,080 --> 00:33:37,280
Speaker 1: good guy. I don't know, but I don't think playing

624
00:33:37,360 --> 00:33:41,080
Speaker 1: football is going to be like, oh, Hey, that that's

625
00:33:41,120 --> 00:33:45,520
Speaker 1: gonna fix everything because he had the ideal situation. He's

626
00:33:45,520 --> 00:33:50,800
Speaker 1: with Tom Brady in Tampa. Yeah, he's already had the

627
00:33:50,880 --> 00:33:53,920
Speaker 1: ideal situation a handful of times, so maybe three times

628
00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:56,400
Speaker 1: at least in his career. And so he's already proven

629
00:33:56,480 --> 00:33:59,280
Speaker 1: that he can't operate within the structure of football either,

630
00:33:59,400 --> 00:34:02,320
Speaker 1: because the Steelers are as solid an organization as you'll

631
00:34:02,360 --> 00:34:06,040
Speaker 1: ever find. The Patriots are, certainly they speak for themselves,

632
00:34:06,080 --> 00:34:08,000
Speaker 1: and then you've got Tom Brady and Bruce Arians who

633
00:34:08,160 --> 00:34:11,600
Speaker 1: couldn't be a more friendly landing spot after you, you know,

634
00:34:12,680 --> 00:34:15,359
Speaker 1: blew your way out of the Raiders doing that whole

635
00:34:15,400 --> 00:34:17,400
Speaker 1: helmet thing and you know you're burnt feet and all

636
00:34:17,440 --> 00:34:22,880
Speaker 1: of that, and it's just it's it's it all adds

637
00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:25,880
Speaker 1: up because if you take a lot of these moments

638
00:34:25,960 --> 00:34:28,880
Speaker 1: and isolated incidents and then you're like, Okay, it's not

639
00:34:29,440 --> 00:34:31,759
Speaker 1: that big a deal. And then there's you know, the

640
00:34:31,920 --> 00:34:35,800
Speaker 1: sexual soul charges, like there's a lot of other things

641
00:34:35,960 --> 00:34:40,399
Speaker 1: involved with him. And is it something as simple as

642
00:34:41,440 --> 00:34:44,040
Speaker 1: when he got his bell rung by Vantez Burfett, did

643
00:34:44,120 --> 00:34:51,600
Speaker 1: things change? But it's probably way before that. But he

644
00:34:51,760 --> 00:34:56,480
Speaker 1: let Tom Brady down and you could tell it in

645
00:34:56,640 --> 00:35:01,080
Speaker 1: Brady's voice. Yesterday you won a game in dramatic fashion

646
00:35:02,120 --> 00:35:05,200
Speaker 1: and it's an oh, by the way, all right, your

Speaker 1: eight Rock, the Buccaneers Radio Network. I don't have any

673
00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:54,919
Speaker 1: insights as far as sources with Antonio Brown. Did reach

674
00:36:54,960 --> 00:36:57,320
Speaker 1: out to somebody last night who played with him in

675
00:36:57,440 --> 00:37:01,839
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh and then the quote was, as we text back

676
00:37:01,880 --> 00:37:04,319
Speaker 1: and forth, it's not a question of if, but when

677
00:37:04,440 --> 00:37:07,719
Speaker 1: with Antonio Brown. And that's the way it is, That's

678
00:37:07,719 --> 00:37:10,920
Speaker 1: the way it's been, and that there's probably a lot

679
00:37:10,960 --> 00:37:13,880
Speaker 1: of things that have not been publicized with AB. But

680
00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:16,480
Speaker 1: when he's on the football field, he is Hall of

681
00:37:16,560 --> 00:37:20,719
Speaker 1: Fame like and I think Bruce Arians wanted to get

682
00:37:20,840 --> 00:37:24,279
Speaker 1: him his incentives. I truly believe that. And Arians, by

683
00:37:24,320 --> 00:37:27,719
Speaker 1: the way, according to Jay Glazer, will be coaching with

684
00:37:28,120 --> 00:37:31,520
Speaker 1: a ruptured achilles. He'll have surgery in the off season.

685
00:37:32,239 --> 00:37:36,359
Speaker 1: So Jay Glazer reporting that, Yeah, po rup rupture rup shirt. Yeah,

686
00:37:37,160 --> 00:37:39,120
Speaker 1: that seems to be almost impossible to do his job.

687
00:37:39,160 --> 00:37:40,480
Speaker 1: He has to move up and down the sidlenes. We

688
00:37:40,560 --> 00:37:43,560
Speaker 1: have one of those little knee carriages things, those walker things.

689
00:37:44,080 --> 00:37:46,799
Speaker 1: I'm not sure how it will be done, but I've

690
00:37:46,880 --> 00:37:49,759
Speaker 1: never had a torn achilles, but we know how that

691
00:37:50,480 --> 00:37:53,120
Speaker 1: what that does to guys who are you know, the

692
00:37:53,200 --> 00:37:56,040
Speaker 1: greatest athletes in the world. So he's going to have

693
00:37:56,160 --> 00:37:59,760
Speaker 1: to wait for surgery. And at that age, at any age,

694
00:38:00,160 --> 00:38:05,120
Speaker 1: Achilles surgery is a long, long process. I don't know

695
00:38:05,200 --> 00:38:07,680
Speaker 1: how you move up and down the football field, but

696
00:38:08,800 --> 00:38:12,160
Speaker 1: he's the longer they go, the more successful they go,

697
00:38:13,239 --> 00:38:15,560
Speaker 1: the more he's going to be trying to navigate with

698
00:38:15,680 --> 00:38:18,319
Speaker 1: a ruptured achilles attendant. All right, we'll get to phone

699
00:38:18,360 --> 00:38:21,480
Speaker 1: calls coming up. But yeah, you know, I'm just trying

700
00:38:21,520 --> 00:38:23,880
Speaker 1: to get context with Antonio Brown because you want to

701
00:38:23,920 --> 00:38:28,800
Speaker 1: be fair to people, and what we see it was

702
00:38:28,920 --> 00:38:32,560
Speaker 1: not pretty with Antonio Brown. And yesterday you quit on

703
00:38:32,640 --> 00:38:38,040
Speaker 1: your team, and he quit on Tom Brady, and Tom

704
00:38:38,080 --> 00:38:41,400
Speaker 1: Brady used the one who vouched for because I truly

705
00:38:41,480 --> 00:38:44,920
Speaker 1: believe he went to Bruce Arians and said, I'll take

706
00:38:45,000 --> 00:38:47,799
Speaker 1: care of him. I'll handle him. Because I don't think

707
00:38:47,800 --> 00:38:50,200
Speaker 1: Bruce arians wanted him back. When we had Bruce on

708
00:38:50,239 --> 00:38:51,879
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago and I said, you made

709
00:38:51,920 --> 00:38:54,399
Speaker 1: your decision, he goes, not yet, I'll make it later

710
00:38:54,520 --> 00:38:58,880
Speaker 1: this week. And I just think he felt like, Okay,

711
00:39:00,200 --> 00:39:03,879
Speaker 1: it's a necessary evil if I can get seven more

712
00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:06,680
Speaker 1: weeks out of this guy, and then he's he's on

713
00:39:06,760 --> 00:39:10,840
Speaker 1: another team next year. But at age thirty three, I

714
00:39:10,960 --> 00:39:18,040
Speaker 1: believe do I think he's done. I don't know, because

715
00:39:18,080 --> 00:39:21,960
Speaker 1: I don't I don't know his mental makeup here, but

716
00:39:22,680 --> 00:39:26,640
Speaker 1: he's got so much talent and he's had the opportunities

717
00:39:26,680 --> 00:39:31,520
Speaker 1: with good organizations and good people. I mean, Mike tomlin Man,

718
00:39:32,040 --> 00:39:37,719
Speaker 1: you mess that up. That's hard to do. Patriots bought

719
00:39:37,800 --> 00:39:45,080
Speaker 1: into you, Buccaneers, Tom Brady, the Raiders. Who knows what

720
00:39:45,280 --> 00:39:46,960
Speaker 1: was going on at that time, felt like there was

721
00:39:46,960 --> 00:39:49,400
Speaker 1: a lot going on there. Yeah. I can't help but

722
00:39:49,520 --> 00:39:53,239
Speaker 1: think of Josh Gordon. Dude got chance after chance after chance,

723
00:39:53,280 --> 00:39:55,200
Speaker 1: and even after he clearly got his last chance, he

724
00:39:55,280 --> 00:39:58,319
Speaker 1: got one more after that. Yeah. Yeah, that's a great point.

725
00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:02,520
Speaker 1: If you have talent that you know somehow, you always

726
00:40:02,560 --> 00:40:05,879
Speaker 1: get another chance. The guys who don't have talent don't

727
00:40:05,880 --> 00:40:11,040
Speaker 1: get those chances. Ab. He might get another chance, but

728
00:40:11,200 --> 00:40:15,080
Speaker 1: really that's not the question. The question is is he

729
00:40:15,280 --> 00:40:17,960
Speaker 1: going to listen to somebody. Is he going to realize

730
00:40:18,360 --> 00:40:22,320
Speaker 1: he's the problem, because a lot of times that person

731
00:40:22,480 --> 00:40:26,400
Speaker 1: thinks everybody else is the problem. And for AB to

732
00:40:26,520 --> 00:40:30,279
Speaker 1: snap like that, I don't know what Tom Brady must

733
00:40:30,280 --> 00:40:33,760
Speaker 1: have been thinking. I mean, imagine in real time, Brady

734
00:40:33,880 --> 00:40:37,640
Speaker 1: is in the huddle and he had to notice or

735
00:40:38,040 --> 00:40:40,560
Speaker 1: you know, the crowd was reacting that, he had to

736
00:40:40,640 --> 00:40:44,520
Speaker 1: look over and go. Antonio Brown's got his shoulder pats,

737
00:40:44,680 --> 00:40:47,319
Speaker 1: He's got his shirt off, He's throwing everything into the state.

738
00:40:47,440 --> 00:40:53,520
Speaker 1: He's leaving. What the hell is going on here? Yeah?

739
00:40:54,000 --> 00:40:56,080
Speaker 1: There is a photograph on social media that a fan

740
00:40:56,239 --> 00:40:58,440
Speaker 1: took from like row eight of the end zone. It's

741
00:40:58,480 --> 00:41:01,200
Speaker 1: Antonio Brown dancing in the with no shirt on, and

742
00:41:01,280 --> 00:41:03,320
Speaker 1: then the two teams gott in huddling up for the

743
00:41:03,400 --> 00:41:06,799
Speaker 1: next series of downs. It looks photoshopped. Like I actually said, well,

744
00:41:06,840 --> 00:41:09,360
Speaker 1: this isn't a real picture, even though I was almost

745
00:41:09,360 --> 00:41:12,719
Speaker 1: in denial. It's it's like something you've never seen before.

746
00:41:12,760 --> 00:41:16,160
Speaker 1: We've watched sports for a long time. Yeah, remember that argument.

747
00:41:16,200 --> 00:41:18,840
Speaker 1: A couple like a week ago, the two defensive linemen

748
00:41:18,960 --> 00:41:22,279
Speaker 1: for the Washington team pain and and we thought that

749
00:41:22,400 --> 00:41:24,279
Speaker 1: was wild. Two guys having a quick argument. One of

750
00:41:24,320 --> 00:41:27,279
Speaker 1: them swings to each other, and that was on the sidelines. Wait,

751
00:41:27,320 --> 00:41:30,279
Speaker 1: you had the moment with the Rams with Jalen Rams, Yeah,

752
00:41:30,360 --> 00:41:36,000
Speaker 1: smacking one of his teammates in the huddle. Rap I went, wait,

753
00:41:36,080 --> 00:41:42,800
Speaker 1: what just happened? Yeah? See, but there is something so

754
00:41:43,360 --> 00:41:45,719
Speaker 1: I don't know if hilarious is the right word, but

755
00:41:46,440 --> 00:41:48,799
Speaker 1: of that moment that Paul is just describing, where an

756
00:41:48,840 --> 00:41:51,040
Speaker 1: Tonio Brown, it's you know, like jumping up and down,

757
00:41:51,120 --> 00:41:53,399
Speaker 1: and you see the players on the field looking back

758
00:41:53,520 --> 00:41:58,080
Speaker 1: like what's going on? What's av doing? But then you

759
00:41:58,160 --> 00:42:01,640
Speaker 1: didn't see some players on the sidelines who basically turned

760
00:42:01,640 --> 00:42:04,320
Speaker 1: their backs on Antonio Brown when he started to do this,

761
00:42:05,080 --> 00:42:08,200
Speaker 1: like Mike Evans tried to stomp him. And Mike Evans said,

762
00:42:08,280 --> 00:42:10,560
Speaker 1: I saw a look in his eye that I had

763
00:42:10,680 --> 00:42:14,239
Speaker 1: never seen before, and then he said, I can't do

764
00:42:14,320 --> 00:42:19,840
Speaker 1: anything about this. But I do think Bruce arians wanted

765
00:42:19,840 --> 00:42:22,640
Speaker 1: to have ab get the incentives, and he didn't need

766
00:42:22,760 --> 00:42:25,279
Speaker 1: more than what five catches and less than one hundred

767
00:42:25,360 --> 00:42:29,239
Speaker 1: yards and you still have another game against Carolina. I

768
00:42:29,320 --> 00:42:34,560
Speaker 1: don't know, and just the words too that were exchanged.

769
00:42:35,080 --> 00:42:37,360
Speaker 1: You know, Hey, I'm gonna sit you down. Hey I

770
00:42:37,440 --> 00:42:39,480
Speaker 1: want you back in. I don't want you to go

771
00:42:39,600 --> 00:42:42,040
Speaker 1: back in. Well, then you're done for the day. And

772
00:42:42,320 --> 00:42:45,560
Speaker 1: maybe ab sent oh, done for the day. Okay, I'm

773
00:42:45,640 --> 00:42:47,279
Speaker 1: done for the day. This is what done for the

774
00:42:47,360 --> 00:42:50,400
Speaker 1: day looks like. Yeah, and if you're a teammate decide

775
00:42:50,400 --> 00:42:52,480
Speaker 1: to run after him and he shoves you away, this

776
00:42:52,560 --> 00:42:55,360
Speaker 1: could escalate into something even ugly or even more embarrassing

777
00:42:55,400 --> 00:42:57,439
Speaker 1: than letting him just do his antics. Ass he runs

778
00:42:57,440 --> 00:42:59,360
Speaker 1: off the field. Well, I think that's where Mike Evans

779
00:43:00,200 --> 00:43:04,520
Speaker 1: use caution, like he was like, yeah, I tried my best. Done,

780
00:43:05,239 --> 00:43:08,080
Speaker 1: You're gonna run through the stop sign. Go ahead, yeah, Pall.

781
00:43:08,800 --> 00:43:10,880
Speaker 1: If the Jets won, Bruce Arians would have lost to

782
00:43:10,960 --> 00:43:14,200
Speaker 1: the Jets lost his achilles tendon and his wide receiver

783
00:43:14,320 --> 00:43:16,640
Speaker 1: in the same afternoon. It could have been the just

784
00:43:16,840 --> 00:43:21,279
Speaker 1: costly off and then Brady has this touchdown, you know,

785
00:43:21,400 --> 00:43:24,680
Speaker 1: this comeback. But it was like, yeah, okay, we knew

786
00:43:24,719 --> 00:43:30,040
Speaker 1: that was gonna happen. I watched and I went, that's

787
00:43:30,040 --> 00:43:33,879
Speaker 1: an afterthought, Tom just did this. Yeah, see, yeah, it's

788
00:43:33,960 --> 00:43:36,080
Speaker 1: kind of like, yeah, come back, but it's against the Jets,

789
00:43:36,280 --> 00:43:40,120
Speaker 1: Like yeah, yeah, that doesn't really count, right, Yeah, Like

790
00:43:40,280 --> 00:43:44,040
Speaker 1: Tom is creating, like there's degrees of difficulty. Hey, your

791
00:43:44,080 --> 00:43:46,319
Speaker 1: coach got a torn achilles and one of your star

792
00:43:46,440 --> 00:43:50,759
Speaker 1: receivers is gonna take off his pads mid game, and

793
00:43:51,160 --> 00:43:53,279
Speaker 1: we want you to come back with ninety yards to

794
00:43:53,360 --> 00:43:55,480
Speaker 1: go and no time outs against the Jets. You need

795
00:43:55,560 --> 00:43:58,839
Speaker 1: a touchdown? Okay, ready break, can't wait till next week?

796
00:44:00,520 --> 00:44:04,400
