All right, So, speaking of NFL, 55 00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:02,680 Speaker 3: TJ brock per lands a two hundred and sixty five 56 00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:06,880 Speaker 3: million dollars deal that includes one hundred and eighty one 57 00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:11,200 Speaker 3: million of it in overall guaranteed money. Uh, that's what 58 00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:16,080 Speaker 3: sources have told ESPN's Adam Schefter. Obviously a massive pay 59 00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:21,240 Speaker 3: raise for party TJ. He earned two point six million 60 00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:26,399 Speaker 3: dollars total over his first three seasons, making him the 61 00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:33,320 Speaker 3: seventy sixth highest paid quarterback over that span. Seventy six. 62 00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:37,120 Speaker 3: I didn't even know that there was that many quarterbacks 63 00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:39,920 Speaker 3: in the league, which is kind of crazy that you 64 00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:43,400 Speaker 3: got a starter and he's ranked seventy six in being paid. 65 00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:47,440 Speaker 3: But nonetheless, that's what it was. His new deal, that 66 00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:51,280 Speaker 3: two point six well, let's just say this, he'll be 67 00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:56,520 Speaker 3: making two point nine million. And and with that two 68 00:03:56,520 --> 00:04:00,720 Speaker 3: point nine million that's over over a well, he'll be 69 00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:05,120 Speaker 3: making that per week, He'll be making two points making dollars. 70 00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:07,720 Speaker 2: He'd be making that per hour. It seems like right. 71 00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:13,360 Speaker 3: Well, so so his salary, his salary will be fifty 72 00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:18,080 Speaker 3: three million dollars. So he'll be making two point nine 73 00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:22,840 Speaker 3: million dollars a week, meaning that you know that two 74 00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:25,279 Speaker 3: point six he made over three years, he'll be making 75 00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:29,599 Speaker 3: three hundred thousand dollars more than his yearly wage in 76 00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:33,239 Speaker 3: a week's time. So, first of all and foremost, shots 77 00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:36,000 Speaker 3: out to brock Party. That's you know, when you talk 78 00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:39,039 Speaker 3: about the American dream, you know, you put in the work, 79 00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:41,800 Speaker 3: you put in time, you put in the energy, and 80 00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:44,080 Speaker 3: sometimes it doesn't work out exactly the way that you 81 00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:47,160 Speaker 3: would like for it to work out. Nonetheless, if you're 82 00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:50,839 Speaker 3: given an opportunity, don't be a person that lives in 83 00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:52,880 Speaker 3: the why? Not be a person that lives in the why. 84 00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:56,040 Speaker 3: It seems like brock Party is a beneficiary of that 85 00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:58,960 Speaker 3: thought process. TJ. What's your take on it? First initial 86 00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:01,320 Speaker 3: reaction to brock per major with you, I think we 87 00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:04,560 Speaker 3: thought we knew was coming was a blockbuster deal for 88 00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:07,240 Speaker 3: a brock Party first as a forty Niners quarterback. 89 00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:13,080 Speaker 2: Congratulations to brock Party his family. Because when you are 90 00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:17,760 Speaker 2: the last person drafted, when I say you are running 91 00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:22,600 Speaker 2: uphill and everybody else is running on flat ground, He's 92 00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:29,000 Speaker 2: earned this his play. So the number one, congratulations, you've 93 00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:30,960 Speaker 2: earned it. You've worked your butt off to get to 94 00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:36,320 Speaker 2: this point. And kudos to U. But but but but 95 00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:39,760 Speaker 2: but uh oh. When I saw the contract, I said, 96 00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:44,599 Speaker 2: the Niners unlost they mind. The Niners have lost their mind. 97 00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:48,000 Speaker 2: They are done. That's my initial thoughts when I first 98 00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:51,240 Speaker 2: saw the contract. They really just give brock Party all 99 00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:54,720 Speaker 2: this money? Did they realize last year brock Party went 100 00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:57,599 Speaker 2: one and six against playoff teams when he needed to 101 00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:00,000 Speaker 2: carry him, he couldn't carry him, and they gave him 102 00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:03,279 Speaker 2: fifty three million a year. I wouldn't have gone a 103 00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:07,160 Speaker 2: dollar over forty seven. I said that, So I said, Wow, 104 00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:10,119 Speaker 2: brock Perty agent did a hell of a job. Congratulations. 105 00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:13,919 Speaker 2: And then you really look into the contract. There was 106 00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:17,719 Speaker 2: reported to be a five year, two hundred and sixty 107 00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:20,800 Speaker 2: five million dollar contract, which would be about fifty three 108 00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:24,720 Speaker 2: million a year. And then when you look at it, 109 00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:27,599 Speaker 2: it's a six year just about two hundred and eighty million. 110 00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:32,799 Speaker 2: He is still rich beyond anybody can imagine. He still 111 00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:35,280 Speaker 2: has more money than he can spend. He has way 112 00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:40,640 Speaker 2: more money than you and I combined. But it's forty 113 00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:45,160 Speaker 2: five million per year. It's not the fifty three that 114 00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:48,320 Speaker 2: the agent put out there. It's forty five and it's 115 00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:52,120 Speaker 2: still a lot. You're still well compensated, you're still set 116 00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:57,080 Speaker 2: for life, your family, generational wealth, all of that. But 117 00:06:57,240 --> 00:06:59,400 Speaker 2: it's the forty nine ers did what I thought they 118 00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:03,799 Speaker 2: would do. They value Rock Party, but they don't value 119 00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:05,880 Speaker 2: him to give him more than fifty million a year, 120 00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:08,159 Speaker 2: which I thought they should not and would not do. 121 00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:12,400 Speaker 2: And so I believe this is a great deal for 122 00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:16,720 Speaker 2: both parties. Rock Party stays with the head coach that 123 00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:19,840 Speaker 2: really knows what he's doing. You can keep taling around him, 124 00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:23,760 Speaker 2: and the forty nine ers get a quarterback with a 125 00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:26,120 Speaker 2: middle of the pack deal to where they can still 126 00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:29,040 Speaker 2: maneuver and keep their roster competitive. 127 00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:31,560 Speaker 3: It is more than fifty million, Teja. 128 00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:33,720 Speaker 2: No, it isn't fifty three. 129 00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:39,120 Speaker 3: That's the new contract has an average salary of fifty 130 00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:41,600 Speaker 3: three million. That's what it is. I mean, I don't 131 00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:43,720 Speaker 3: know if it's just that they. 132 00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:47,480 Speaker 2: Tore so his so his. Uh. He had a five 133 00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:52,440 Speaker 2: point three million dollar salary for twenty twenty five that 134 00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:57,640 Speaker 2: got replaced, LeVar. I'm looking at the contract right now. Yeah, 135 00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:00,400 Speaker 2: he had five point three million dollar base out for 136 00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:06,160 Speaker 2: this upcoming season. Okay, that got replaced for a six year, 137 00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:14,240 Speaker 2: two hundred and seventy nine million dollar contract. 138 00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:16,920 Speaker 3: Two point nine million under the new year, New new deal. 139 00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:19,960 Speaker 3: It's a two point or what I'm not I'm not 140 00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:22,240 Speaker 3: following you. I'm not following you. Did I lose you? 141 00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:24,160 Speaker 3: Maybe I lost you? 142 00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:24,880 Speaker 1: Uh? 143 00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:27,560 Speaker 3: What can you help me? I'll here on this one. 144 00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:30,920 Speaker 3: But bo is that is that accurate? Because I don't. 145 00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:34,080 Speaker 3: I'm not big on these contract deals. I just I 146 00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:36,560 Speaker 3: go through it. I don't look at the actual contracts. 147 00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:41,760 Speaker 3: I look at what's reported and what the actual the 148 00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:46,240 Speaker 3: sources and obviously the sources that were named was ESPN 149 00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:49,800 Speaker 3: and it went through Adam Schefter and it basically says 150 00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:54,200 Speaker 3: he's gonna earn. Okay, TJ. Just clear it up for me, 151 00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:56,880 Speaker 3: because again, I don't look at the contracts. I don't. 152 00:08:56,880 --> 00:08:59,559 Speaker 3: I'm not a contract guy. All I'm doing is looking 153 00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:03,640 Speaker 3: at what's being reported, And what's being reported is is 154 00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:07,880 Speaker 3: that he is making fifty three million a year when 155 00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:10,480 Speaker 3: he gets when he gets this contract done, or when 156 00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:11,719 Speaker 3: he signs this contract, so. 157 00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:15,360 Speaker 2: That get put the reporting. Who when when somebody signs 158 00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:17,720 Speaker 2: a contract, how does the news get leaked? Who puts 159 00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:18,200 Speaker 2: it out there? 160 00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:22,840 Speaker 3: I would say sometimes the agent, Sometimes. 161 00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:27,120 Speaker 2: Ninety percent of it is the agent. When the agent 162 00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:28,760 Speaker 2: puts it out there, does he want to make himself 163 00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:29,920 Speaker 2: look good or bad? 164 00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:31,760 Speaker 3: Yeah, you're certain he wants to. 165 00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:35,240 Speaker 2: Make himself live good, So one hundred percent he's going 166 00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:38,480 Speaker 2: to report it as, oh, it's five years, two hundred 167 00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:40,920 Speaker 2: and sixty five million, this fifty three million a year. 168 00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:44,480 Speaker 2: But in reality, they tore up the last year of 169 00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:46,720 Speaker 2: his contract. That wasn't an extension. They tore it up. 170 00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:48,800 Speaker 2: So now six year, two hundred and seventy nine million. 171 00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:53,480 Speaker 2: And again I don't want anybody listening. Rock Party has 172 00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:56,320 Speaker 2: a hell of a deal man. I'd walk across the 173 00:09:56,360 --> 00:10:00,160 Speaker 2: country for this deal. But it's really forty five five 174 00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:03,320 Speaker 2: million a year when you look at the six year, 175 00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:06,520 Speaker 2: two hundred and seventy nine million dollar deal, and I 176 00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:10,120 Speaker 2: believe that's where he falls because of the talent that 177 00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:12,680 Speaker 2: they have around him, the talent they can keep around him. 178 00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:16,680 Speaker 2: But it's the agent is going to put that out 179 00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:22,080 Speaker 2: there so that he looks good, so that no other 180 00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:24,559 Speaker 2: agent can say, oh, man, look he got brought party 181 00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:26,600 Speaker 2: a bad deal. Why would you go sign with him? 182 00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:30,720 Speaker 2: When they go into the recruiting process this fall to 183 00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:33,080 Speaker 2: get to get the kids that are coming out. But again, 184 00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:35,720 Speaker 2: I think it's a hell of a deal. I really 185 00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:41,400 Speaker 2: do to be the last player picked and you get 186 00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:45,400 Speaker 2: and you end up with a two hundred and eighty 187 00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:48,880 Speaker 2: million dollar contract. He never thought that would happen when 188 00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:51,920 Speaker 2: he was drafted, and so it's a tribute to his 189 00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:56,360 Speaker 2: hard work. It's a tribute to starting at the bottom. 190 00:10:56,480 --> 00:10:59,800 Speaker 2: And you have to constantly beat guys out that are 191 00:10:59,840 --> 00:11:02,520 Speaker 2: be giving, that are given more opportunity to you. And 192 00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:04,520 Speaker 2: one of those guys was Trey Lance, who the forty 193 00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:08,600 Speaker 2: nine ers gave up so many draft picks to acquire. Again, 194 00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:10,880 Speaker 2: he beat him out and they let him go, and 195 00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:14,760 Speaker 2: so congratulations to him. But it's forty five million a 196 00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:18,440 Speaker 2: year in the forty nine ers, I believe. I wouldn't 197 00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:21,280 Speaker 2: say they got a bargain, but they got They have 198 00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:23,959 Speaker 2: a hell of a deal with their quarterback making that 199 00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:26,400 Speaker 2: because they can keep the pieces around him. How it 200 00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:27,040 Speaker 2: needs to be. 201 00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:31,200 Speaker 3: What are the pieces? I mean, wouldn't we say, and 202 00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:33,079 Speaker 3: I know we're up on it, but wouldn't we say 203 00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:37,839 Speaker 3: that this is a questionable amount of pieces around him. 204 00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:42,960 Speaker 3: Christian McCaffrey he'll be back, but the perceived idea him 205 00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:47,160 Speaker 3: is is for how long? In terms of injury. Brandon Aiyuk, 206 00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:51,160 Speaker 3: He's he'll be back, but the question is how healthy 207 00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:55,320 Speaker 3: will he be coming off of the knee surgery, the 208 00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:59,439 Speaker 3: major knee surgery that he's got taken place. Trent Williams 209 00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:04,680 Speaker 3: will be back, but Trent Williams has struggled with injuries 210 00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:07,840 Speaker 3: and has injuries concerns on him at this point in 211 00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:11,880 Speaker 3: his career. And when you look around, I mean, we 212 00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:16,319 Speaker 3: can say George Kittle has been a very very consistent 213 00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:20,640 Speaker 3: player for this team. But you know, how are we 214 00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:23,800 Speaker 3: viewing this when we say okay to me? The only 215 00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:26,760 Speaker 3: one I can sit here and say honestly that I 216 00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:30,760 Speaker 3: think is just you know, you can depend on the 217 00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:32,760 Speaker 3: fact that he's going to be there and be available 218 00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:39,679 Speaker 3: to play is George Kittle. So I don't know, Well, 219 00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:41,760 Speaker 3: that's the other side of the ball, though, that's the other. 220 00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:44,400 Speaker 2: If you go to the offensive side of the ball. 221 00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:48,079 Speaker 2: George Kittle has had his injury problems, missing, missing, missing 222 00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:51,040 Speaker 2: games as well. Offensively, their best players miss a lot 223 00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:54,520 Speaker 2: of games, or they have in the past. Yeah, and 224 00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:58,199 Speaker 2: that's the you and that's any team, though, LeVar. When 225 00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:02,360 Speaker 2: your best players are hurt, it's hard to win. It's 226 00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:02,880 Speaker 2: hard to win. 227 00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:06,720 Speaker 3: It was clearly a bigger story in San Francisco this 228 00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:10,640 Speaker 3: year than it has been having I Uke out, having 229 00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:14,000 Speaker 3: Trent Williams out, having Christian McCaffrey out, all at the 230 00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:17,160 Speaker 3: same time. I mean, that's that's a that's a tough 231 00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:21,400 Speaker 3: road for any quarterback or any team to have to overcome. 232 00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:25,040 Speaker 3: Are they as good losing Deebo Samuel? Are they as 233 00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:29,000 Speaker 3: good with this offense with the question marks surrounding them? 234 00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:31,880 Speaker 3: Are they as good? Because I think we heard somebody say, 235 00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:35,719 Speaker 3: was it Poka Nikoua said that he felt like if 236 00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:38,560 Speaker 3: they paid Brock Purdy that the window was one hundred 237 00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:42,160 Speaker 3: percent closing on the San Francisco forty nine ers. 238 00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:43,199 Speaker 2: I'm not so. 239 00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:47,720 Speaker 3: Sure he wasn't accurate. Whether he was supposed to say 240 00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:50,760 Speaker 3: that or not, I'm not so sure he wasn't accurate 241 00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:55,160 Speaker 3: because you are facing the idea of not having Christian McCaffrey. 242 00:13:55,559 --> 00:14:00,199 Speaker 3: You know, moving forward, you may not have Trent William 243 00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:03,480 Speaker 3: moving forward, like at some point in time, there could 244 00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:06,440 Speaker 3: be an injury that takes place, and how good will 245 00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:09,920 Speaker 3: I you be coming back off of that surgery. So 246 00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:12,560 Speaker 3: I think there's a lot of question marks. But I 247 00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:15,840 Speaker 3: do believe paying that amount of money to Brock Purdy 248 00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:20,840 Speaker 3: may signify that this is a last ditch effort to 249 00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:24,400 Speaker 3: push for trying to get to that super Bowl before 250 00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:27,880 Speaker 3: you have to redo this entire roster and try to 251 00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:29,960 Speaker 3: figure out where you go from there. And is that 252 00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:34,040 Speaker 3: a reboot or is that a rebuild from what may 253 00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:37,080 Speaker 3: be perceived as the core group of guys that you 254 00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:39,480 Speaker 3: may be able to keep. You may be able to 255 00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:42,600 Speaker 3: keep Rock Purdy going through a rebuild. You may be 256 00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:45,040 Speaker 3: able to keep some of the guys that you have 257 00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:47,880 Speaker 3: on the defensive side of the ball as a part 258 00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:50,960 Speaker 3: of a rebuild. But I don't know that to be certain. 259 00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:53,400 Speaker 3: I do not know that to be certain. 260 00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:57,200 Speaker 2: To me, I believe Puka was speaking on if they 261 00:14:57,200 --> 00:14:59,640 Speaker 2: make Rock Purdy one of the highest paid quarterbacks in 262 00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:03,720 Speaker 2: at least then their window is closed. I don't believe 263 00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:05,680 Speaker 2: he felt like if they signed him to a deal 264 00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:10,360 Speaker 2: that was beneficial to them, their windows as if the 265 00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:14,160 Speaker 2: Niners best players stay healthy, they're gonna be right. 266 00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:17,800 Speaker 3: There that they are picked. They are picked to win 267 00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:22,000 Speaker 3: the NFC, the NFC West, I think put them. 268 00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:23,960 Speaker 2: At I'm going I'm going with the Rams. 269 00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:28,080 Speaker 3: I think the Rams are the better team in the West. 270 00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:30,880 Speaker 3: Gave Matthew Stafford bat I thought that was the biggest 271 00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:31,720 Speaker 3: piece for them. 272 00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:35,080 Speaker 2: So much, so much of the four. If the forty 273 00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:38,440 Speaker 2: nine ers, can they stay healthy? What do they have 274 00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:42,320 Speaker 2: after I use you have Jwan Jennings, uh. 275 00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:46,800 Speaker 3: Ricky Cowen, you have the Marcus Robson. 276 00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:52,800 Speaker 2: You don't know now without deebo and Ey playing. And 277 00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:55,480 Speaker 2: will I be available to start the season, And if 278 00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:58,080 Speaker 2: he is available, how effective will he be? 279 00:15:58,400 --> 00:15:58,720 Speaker 3: Correct? 280 00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:01,920 Speaker 2: How are those other receivers now gonna be when they're 281 00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:04,240 Speaker 2: the center of attention? Can can they make the plays? 282 00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:07,520 Speaker 2: We would assume yes, but we just don't know. Well, 283 00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:11,000 Speaker 2: McCaffrey stay healthy, will Kittle stay healthy? And then if 284 00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:15,320 Speaker 2: they don't stay healthy, cam bron Purty carry him. Oh 285 00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:17,720 Speaker 2: we saw last year he went one and six versus 286 00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:23,160 Speaker 2: playoff teams and so to me, the silver lining in 287 00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:28,200 Speaker 2: this and Robert Sala's defensive coordinator. That dude is so 288 00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:31,600 Speaker 2: good of a coach. He's going to make a massive 289 00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:34,920 Speaker 2: difference on that team and a defense. And I will 290 00:16:34,920 --> 00:16:37,120 Speaker 2: say that he and not too many people are talking 291 00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:41,359 Speaker 2: about that. Robert Sala is gonna be a huge difference 292 00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:44,360 Speaker 2: as a coach with that defense. That will make a difference. 293 00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:47,920 Speaker 2: But Cam Brock party do his part if the best 294 00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:48,920 Speaker 2: players aren't healthy. 295 00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:53,320 Speaker 3: That's TJ.

Nothing new, but just kind of an 302 00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:20,520 Speaker 3: interesting conversation right now at this point, maybe because there 303 00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:23,240 Speaker 3: might not be any bigger news, but nonetheless we're gonna 304 00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:27,280 Speaker 3: discuss that, and uh yeah, stay tuned, sit sit, sit back, 305 00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:29,800 Speaker 3: wait for wait for this next segment to come, and 306 00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:32,439 Speaker 3: then we're gonna hit you with some Caleb Williams Talk 307 00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:34,960 Speaker 3: Chicago Bears.

Well 321 00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:21,520 Speaker 3: I'm not tripping running all together for me. But before 322 00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:23,840 Speaker 3: we get to that, TJ, let's talk a little bit 323 00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:30,080 Speaker 3: about Caleb Williams. Obviously, the story resurface because Seth Wickersham, 324 00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:35,959 Speaker 3: who is an author, is releasing a book called American Kings. 325 00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:38,080 Speaker 3: So he's getting a lot of burn and a lot 326 00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:41,320 Speaker 3: of run right now for this biography of the quarterback. 327 00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:48,200 Speaker 3: In months before the twenty twenty four draft, he had 328 00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:53,639 Speaker 3: conversations with Caleb Williams, Caleb Williams family, and it basically 329 00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:58,480 Speaker 3: confronted with a lot of people speculated that the Williams 330 00:18:58,480 --> 00:19:01,440 Speaker 3: family didn't want to go to or seemingly did not 331 00:19:02,280 --> 00:19:06,080 Speaker 3: feel comfortable going to Chicago, didn't feel as though it 332 00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:12,920 Speaker 3: was going to be a great situation for him, and 333 00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:18,440 Speaker 3: they talked about how circumventing, you know, going to Chicago 334 00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:21,880 Speaker 3: within the draft as it applies to I guess the 335 00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:27,600 Speaker 3: collective bargaining agreement, maybe even playing in the UFL or 336 00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:31,560 Speaker 3: whatever it may have been. He came under intense scrutiny. 337 00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:34,960 Speaker 3: A lot of things that were discussed kind of were 338 00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:37,320 Speaker 3: discussed this year as well with Shador Sanders. Didn't end 339 00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:40,080 Speaker 3: up the same way for sure, door that it did 340 00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:43,560 Speaker 3: for Caleb. But just where we're at right now, seeing 341 00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:47,720 Speaker 3: what took place with the Bears last year, seeing how 342 00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:51,120 Speaker 3: Caleb played, all of the moves that were made. They 343 00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:53,480 Speaker 3: got a new head coach. Now they got Ben Johnson, 344 00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:57,360 Speaker 3: who is considered an offensive guru, great mind that they 345 00:19:57,359 --> 00:20:02,160 Speaker 3: took away from the Detroit Lions. Now they seemingly seem 346 00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:08,040 Speaker 3: to be going in the right direction. TJ. What's your 347 00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:11,679 Speaker 3: initial reaction to where they are right now? And I 348 00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:16,119 Speaker 3: guess twenty twenty hindsight, how do you feel about this player? 349 00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:21,320 Speaker 3: Because obviously we did have this conversation in comparison with 350 00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:24,400 Speaker 3: UH with Shador Sanders this year. I mean, should players 351 00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:28,520 Speaker 3: have Okay, I think we got to get TJ back, 352 00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:32,320 Speaker 3: But I'll start off my opinions on it by just 353 00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:37,800 Speaker 3: saying this. It's it's interesting when a young man plays 354 00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:42,640 Speaker 3: so well at the college level that it positions them 355 00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:46,840 Speaker 3: to be picked up by a team that is doing poorly. 356 00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:49,440 Speaker 3: You know, a guy gets to choose what college they 357 00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:53,160 Speaker 3: go to. You know, parents by where they live, most 358 00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:55,879 Speaker 3: likely will move into a school district or send their 359 00:20:55,960 --> 00:20:58,160 Speaker 3: kid to a private school where they would like their 360 00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:02,719 Speaker 3: child to attend school. So pretty much every single situation 361 00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:06,760 Speaker 3: scenario you end up in it's based upon you choosing. 362 00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:10,280 Speaker 3: And even in the workforce, you choose where you want 363 00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:13,640 Speaker 3: to work more often than not. But in pro sports, 364 00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:17,840 Speaker 3: you're drafted, and if you're really good, you get drafted, 365 00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:21,720 Speaker 3: and depending on the circumstances, you generally if you're a 366 00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:24,399 Speaker 3: high pick, you get drafted to a team that isn't 367 00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:27,400 Speaker 3: doing very well. This turned out to be the situation 368 00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:32,760 Speaker 3: for Caleb Williams, and I just I tend to think 369 00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:38,919 Speaker 3: that when you're looking at a situation moving forward versus 370 00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:45,800 Speaker 3: twenty twenty hindsight, it's very difficult to accept the idea 371 00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:49,119 Speaker 3: that you've had so much success leading up to this 372 00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:53,040 Speaker 3: point that you're actually going to be picked into a 373 00:21:53,080 --> 00:21:58,640 Speaker 3: situation where you're forced to experience and learn different realities 374 00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:01,440 Speaker 3: about what it is that you've been so great at doing. 375 00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:04,600 Speaker 3: And so when when I looked at the story and 376 00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:07,160 Speaker 3: saw that it was coming out and the dad didn't 377 00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:10,520 Speaker 3: feel confident about you know, Caleb going to the Bears 378 00:22:10,520 --> 00:22:13,520 Speaker 3: and trying to figure that out. You know, even even 379 00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:19,560 Speaker 3: Caleb having you know, ad missions to confidant that he 380 00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:23,800 Speaker 3: was very very skeptical, didn't know Shane Waldron could could 381 00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:29,000 Speaker 3: get it done, which ultimately he didn't get it done. 382 00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:32,119 Speaker 3: It just it just makes me wonder, you know, looking 383 00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:37,120 Speaker 3: at it now, does Caleb have enough support with Ben 384 00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:42,080 Speaker 3: Johnson coming in, does he have enough support in Chicago 385 00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:44,600 Speaker 3: to be a winner? I know we got TJ back now, 386 00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:49,880 Speaker 3: I just I wonder because so many times, I mean, 387 00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:52,560 Speaker 3: the one thing that was stated about the Bears, which 388 00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:55,240 Speaker 3: I don't see it being inaccurate. I mean, if you 389 00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:57,560 Speaker 3: really think about it, it's a place where a quarter 390 00:22:57,640 --> 00:23:01,560 Speaker 3: it's a quarterback's wasteland. You don't have have great success 391 00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:05,080 Speaker 3: as a quarterback when you go to the Chicago Bears. 392 00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:08,760 Speaker 3: That's just kind of really how it's been. I mean, 393 00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:13,800 Speaker 3: so I'm if I'm asking you, TJ. Is Caleb Williams 394 00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:18,240 Speaker 3: in a better situation for choosing to go ahead and 395 00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:19,720 Speaker 3: let it be what it was going to be go 396 00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:22,760 Speaker 3: to the Chicago Bears. Is he in a better situation 397 00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:26,520 Speaker 3: now taking that and being where he's at now and 398 00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:29,439 Speaker 3: them getting the new head coach and perceivably putting the 399 00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:32,040 Speaker 3: pieces in place for him to have success. Or would 400 00:23:32,040 --> 00:23:34,199 Speaker 3: he have been in a better situation to try to 401 00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:37,880 Speaker 3: opt out of being drafted by the Bears Number one overall? 402 00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:46,440 Speaker 2: I mean, if we base it off of is Ricky season, yeah, 403 00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:50,320 Speaker 2: you'd be better off not playing for the Bears or 404 00:23:50,560 --> 00:23:52,959 Speaker 2: not hoping to not be drafted by the Bears. But 405 00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:57,639 Speaker 2: he's there, And when you look at it, LeVar was 406 00:23:57,720 --> 00:24:02,400 Speaker 2: it you look at his father and himself. Were they 407 00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:06,640 Speaker 2: wrong about Iberfus Shane Roger? No, they weren't wrong. No, 408 00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:12,679 Speaker 2: The fact that Ryan Poles felt it was okay to 409 00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:15,600 Speaker 2: bring them back, or to bring Iberfus back and then 410 00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:19,880 Speaker 2: hire Shane Waldron with the first pick you're gonna draft 411 00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:23,840 Speaker 2: Kayla Williams. The fact that he felt that was okay 412 00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:29,320 Speaker 2: is to me eye opening, Like what did eberflu show 413 00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:36,160 Speaker 2: you that he would be able to develop and make 414 00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:40,840 Speaker 2: Caleb Williams, dude. The fact that he said, I would 415 00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:43,080 Speaker 2: go in there and just watch watch film. I didn't 416 00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:45,000 Speaker 2: know what I was I didn't know how to watch film. 417 00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:47,960 Speaker 2: I didn't know what I was doing. And this is 418 00:24:48,040 --> 00:24:51,440 Speaker 2: why you need a veteran in there. And Pete LaVar, 419 00:24:51,600 --> 00:24:55,120 Speaker 2: you know this, and we both know this. A lot 420 00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:58,600 Speaker 2: of these coaches, man, they get hired because you're a friend. 421 00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:01,639 Speaker 2: A friend recommends you. Your dad was a coach, your 422 00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:03,720 Speaker 2: dad gave somebody a job, so they now they owe 423 00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:07,600 Speaker 2: you a favor. Like some of these coaches, man, they 424 00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:10,800 Speaker 2: really don't know what they're doing. Now, there's some coaches 425 00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:13,840 Speaker 2: that really know what they're doing, but some coaches just 426 00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:16,159 Speaker 2: don't know what they're doing. And if you don't have 427 00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:20,359 Speaker 2: a veteran in a room, some of these players have 428 00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:23,600 Speaker 2: no idea how to prepare. The Bears didn't have a 429 00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:28,840 Speaker 2: veteran quarterback, so Caleb Williams was in essence lost. He 430 00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:33,560 Speaker 2: was lost last year. Now it seems as if he 431 00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:40,439 Speaker 2: has a GPS and Ben Johnson. Ben Johnson resurrected Jared Goff. 432 00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:46,560 Speaker 2: That offensive Detroit was really good. They had really good 433 00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:50,000 Speaker 2: players in Detroit. Chicago Bears also on paper, when you 434 00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:52,959 Speaker 2: look at their offense, they have really good players. They 435 00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:56,880 Speaker 2: have good receivers, good running back, two really good tight ends. 436 00:25:56,880 --> 00:25:58,520 Speaker 2: They just dropped the costs of level in the first 437 00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:01,560 Speaker 2: round offensive line. They went out and got some guys 438 00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:04,200 Speaker 2: in free agency that should make them better. Defensively, they're 439 00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:09,200 Speaker 2: really good. So if Caleb Williams doesn't get it done 440 00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:13,040 Speaker 2: this year, I don't believe you can put the blame 441 00:26:13,080 --> 00:26:17,679 Speaker 2: on Ben Johnson because Ben Johnson is shown. Jared golf 442 00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:22,080 Speaker 2: career was on the line. We resurrected him offensively. What 443 00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:24,920 Speaker 2: we did, we resurrected him. Now you know, at one point, 444 00:26:25,040 --> 00:26:28,000 Speaker 2: Kayler Williams said, man, I met with Kevin O'Connell. I 445 00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:30,800 Speaker 2: wanted to go to the Vikings. I'm won one hundred 446 00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:33,280 Speaker 2: percent certain if Kayler Williams goes to the Vikings. Kayler 447 00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:37,399 Speaker 2: Williams as a baller, as a rookie baller, and he 448 00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:39,760 Speaker 2: didn't play bad last year. He just took a ton 449 00:26:39,800 --> 00:26:44,280 Speaker 2: of sacks. If Kayleb Williams was with the Minnesota Vikings 450 00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:50,359 Speaker 2: and Kevin O'Connell, he would have balled out. Because Kevin 451 00:26:50,359 --> 00:26:53,480 Speaker 2: O'Connell is a former player that played the game, and 452 00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:57,360 Speaker 2: he's shown it don't matter who my quarterback is, they 453 00:26:57,440 --> 00:27:00,639 Speaker 2: gonna do work. Sam Donald couldn't play so posley till 454 00:27:00,680 --> 00:27:04,679 Speaker 2: he got the Minnesota Every quarterback that has played for 455 00:27:04,760 --> 00:27:08,960 Speaker 2: the Minnesota Vikings has done well, and so time will 456 00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:13,600 Speaker 2: tell what Caleb Williams will be. I believe he's gonna 457 00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:17,399 Speaker 2: take a tremendous jump this year because coaching matters so 458 00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:19,160 Speaker 2: much in the National Football League. 459 00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:25,320 Speaker 3: M hmm, well, I'll say this, Uh, it'll be interesting 460 00:27:25,359 --> 00:27:29,719 Speaker 3: to see how they do. Can can Ben Johnson overcome? 461 00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:33,760 Speaker 3: You know some of the l's of what are taking 462 00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:37,800 Speaker 3: place with the Chicago Bears. That's a I feel like 463 00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:40,240 Speaker 3: anybody who comes in there, it's a it's a major 464 00:27:40,359 --> 00:27:45,159 Speaker 3: question to be asked. Is it the leadership roles that 465 00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:49,600 Speaker 3: are you know, playing a part? I don't. I don't know. 466 00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:52,440 Speaker 3: I know in the in the past they have had success. 467 00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:55,120 Speaker 3: I mean, during our time in the in the NFL, 468 00:27:55,560 --> 00:27:58,800 Speaker 3: they were known for having an amazing defense, and it 469 00:27:58,960 --> 00:28:02,040 Speaker 3: went really fall are with being able to run the 470 00:28:02,280 --> 00:28:06,520 Speaker 3: run the ball, and have a decent passing game and 471 00:28:06,520 --> 00:28:09,840 Speaker 3: and played some hellified defense. That was what the Beers 472 00:28:09,840 --> 00:28:12,960 Speaker 3: were known for. But even as getting as far as 473 00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:17,520 Speaker 3: the Super Bowl, they just never have had enough offense 474 00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:22,600 Speaker 3: to get over the hump. And I just wonder, if 475 00:28:22,640 --> 00:28:25,200 Speaker 3: I'll say this, if Ben Johnson is the guy that 476 00:28:25,240 --> 00:28:28,040 Speaker 3: gets them over the hump, and Caleb Williams is the 477 00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:30,359 Speaker 3: quarterback that's a part of them getting over the hump, 478 00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:35,439 Speaker 3: you're talking about Hall of Fame conversations immediately upon that 479 00:28:35,560 --> 00:28:40,360 Speaker 3: taking place, Legendary careers immediately upon that taking place. Because 480 00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:46,240 Speaker 3: if you got to say, you know, mahone, who's my McMahon, 481 00:28:46,760 --> 00:28:51,680 Speaker 3: If McMahon is your most memorable and most famous quarterback, 482 00:28:51,760 --> 00:28:55,080 Speaker 3: no shade towards him. But that's saying a lot because 483 00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:58,880 Speaker 3: I don't think he threw for very many yards as 484 00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:01,800 Speaker 3: as the as the quarterback of. 485 00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:03,920 Speaker 2: The game was much different back then than. 486 00:29:03,840 --> 00:29:07,440 Speaker 3: It is it was five I mean of course different. 487 00:29:09,160 --> 00:29:13,880 Speaker 2: Caleb Williams is gonna have to be the generational quarterback 488 00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:17,360 Speaker 2: that many thought he was when he came out, and 489 00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:20,400 Speaker 2: that's he's gonna have to live up to those expectations. 490 00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:23,040 Speaker 2: He's gonna have to live up to the hype. He 491 00:29:23,160 --> 00:29:28,600 Speaker 2: has a coach that everybody believes can help him reach 492 00:29:28,640 --> 00:29:32,200 Speaker 2: his potential. This isn't a question mark. There was question 493 00:29:32,240 --> 00:29:36,200 Speaker 2: marks last year. Shane Waldron was he was a last 494 00:29:36,240 --> 00:29:40,000 Speaker 2: resort man. He was a last resort. Shane Waldron got 495 00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:44,640 Speaker 2: fired in Seattle. He was a last resort and so 496 00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:48,520 Speaker 2: this is what happens when you on your last resort. 497 00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:52,000 Speaker 2: When it's your last resort, it's a coin flip. I 498 00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:55,040 Speaker 2: hope it pays off. It may not pay off. And 499 00:29:55,120 --> 00:29:58,720 Speaker 2: it didn't pay off, and so they did a reboot. 500 00:29:58,760 --> 00:30:03,680 Speaker 2: The game of football is one from the inside out, 501 00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:09,360 Speaker 2: and Ben Johnson gets that. The offensive line, they've addressed 502 00:30:09,360 --> 00:30:12,720 Speaker 2: it as best as they could. They got the skill guys. 503 00:30:13,360 --> 00:30:17,000 Speaker 2: And if Caleb Williams can be what everybody thought he 504 00:30:17,120 --> 00:30:21,640 Speaker 2: was gonna be the Chicago Bears. That division is just 505 00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:27,960 Speaker 2: so competitive because right now, everybody in that division has 506 00:30:28,040 --> 00:30:34,200 Speaker 2: a good quarterback. Everybody in that divisions, quarterbacks unknown in Minnesota, 507 00:30:34,240 --> 00:30:39,040 Speaker 2: and there's an unknown in Chicago. Yes, but we would 508 00:30:39,120 --> 00:30:43,120 Speaker 2: say Kevin O'Connor believe and JJ McCarthy, Okay, they're gonna 509 00:30:43,120 --> 00:30:43,560 Speaker 2: be all right. 510 00:30:44,080 --> 00:30:46,160 Speaker 3: Oh, they let Darnold go, so that would have to 511 00:30:46,160 --> 00:30:49,400 Speaker 3: be an indicator that they believe in them. So I 512 00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:52,520 Speaker 3: agree with you there. What will be interesting to hear 513 00:30:52,640 --> 00:30:57,040 Speaker 3: is your take on Antonio Brown.

TJ, Like, 531 00:31:59,040 --> 00:32:00,280 Speaker 3: what's your take on it? 532 00:32:00,360 --> 00:32:00,520 Speaker 2: Man. 533 00:32:00,560 --> 00:32:03,000 Speaker 3: Obviously, there was a report he was at a boxing event. 534 00:32:04,520 --> 00:32:07,240 Speaker 3: I guess the way it's being reported is some people 535 00:32:07,280 --> 00:32:11,840 Speaker 3: tried to rob him of his his his jewelry. Uh, 536 00:32:12,200 --> 00:32:14,960 Speaker 3: he got active and got activated. I think at some 537 00:32:15,040 --> 00:32:18,400 Speaker 3: point in time he had a firearm on him as well. 538 00:32:18,480 --> 00:32:21,600 Speaker 3: And and do you believe there were shots that were fired. 539 00:32:21,640 --> 00:32:24,480 Speaker 3: He was arrested. They say he was later let go 540 00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:28,800 Speaker 3: after the conversations took place. This happened in the city 541 00:32:28,800 --> 00:32:33,680 Speaker 3: of Miami. A spokesman from the Miami Police Department told 542 00:32:33,760 --> 00:32:38,000 Speaker 3: Fox News Digital that Miami Police received an alert of 543 00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:43,640 Speaker 3: shots fired at three am Eastern time. Yes, well this morning. 544 00:32:43,880 --> 00:32:49,880 Speaker 3: Actually police initiated an investigation. No arrests were made, and 545 00:32:49,920 --> 00:32:55,480 Speaker 3: no one was injured. The spokesman said the investigation is ongoing. 546 00:32:55,560 --> 00:33:00,360 Speaker 3: But it appeared I guess between Brown and one of 547 00:33:00,520 --> 00:33:04,560 Speaker 3: Ross's people live streams later in the night that there 548 00:33:04,800 --> 00:33:08,000 Speaker 3: was you know, I guess something that led to the 549 00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:11,600 Speaker 3: fight later on, what's your take on this man? Because 550 00:33:11,640 --> 00:33:16,239 Speaker 3: I know we joke around about what Antonio does on 551 00:33:16,320 --> 00:33:20,120 Speaker 3: social media. He throws shade like he's made it his 552 00:33:20,240 --> 00:33:23,440 Speaker 3: business to be the hill. He throws shade at everybody 553 00:33:23,520 --> 00:33:27,200 Speaker 3: has something just has created a brand off of shooting 554 00:33:27,240 --> 00:33:30,880 Speaker 3: shade at people. I call the shade grenades. He throws 555 00:33:30,920 --> 00:33:33,320 Speaker 3: a lot of them. I mean, is he you know 556 00:33:33,360 --> 00:33:35,960 Speaker 3: if you had to give him advice today, what would 557 00:33:35,960 --> 00:33:36,200 Speaker 3: that be? 558 00:33:36,320 --> 00:33:41,080 Speaker 2: Bro?

I'm gonna say this, when you go 560 00:33:46,080 --> 00:33:48,360 Speaker 2: out to these events or you just go out in 561 00:33:48,400 --> 00:33:55,040 Speaker 2: public and you have thousands of dollars in jury on man, 562 00:33:55,120 --> 00:34:00,800 Speaker 2: get you security like a thousand dollars.

And he fired a 567 00:34:13,800 --> 00:34:18,320 Speaker 2: firearm in it aired, you know, after it happened to 568 00:34:18,520 --> 00:34:21,839 Speaker 2: to scare the guys off. I would assume and what 569 00:34:21,880 --> 00:34:25,360 Speaker 2: if something goes wrong with that? Not you and you 570 00:34:25,160 --> 00:34:29,319 Speaker 2: and you're gonna possibly use lose your freedom I just 571 00:34:29,320 --> 00:34:34,920 Speaker 2: feel like, man, when you go out in public with 572 00:34:35,040 --> 00:34:38,680 Speaker 2: a bunch of jurry on, there's always people that want 573 00:34:38,880 --> 00:34:42,560 Speaker 2: what you've worked hard to get. Wolves and a b 574 00:34:42,719 --> 00:34:45,799 Speaker 2: has worked hard to be in a position where he 575 00:34:45,880 --> 00:34:49,120 Speaker 2: can purchase embodies things. But it's a group of people. 576 00:34:50,640 --> 00:34:53,080 Speaker 2: They gonna get it how they live. They you got 577 00:34:53,080 --> 00:34:56,200 Speaker 2: what they want and I'm taking it by force or 578 00:34:56,239 --> 00:34:59,360 Speaker 2: you're gonna willfully give it to me.

And and to to 582 00:35:10,640 --> 00:35:15,400 Speaker 3: the point of what TJ was making is that protect 583 00:35:15,480 --> 00:35:18,960 Speaker 3: yourself out here. Two. It's said that you got to 584 00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:22,680 Speaker 3: feel like, you know, if if jewelry is what you're into, 585 00:35:23,280 --> 00:35:26,880 Speaker 3: that's something that you have to be mindful of or 586 00:35:26,960 --> 00:35:29,919 Speaker 3: be careful of. It's it's existed for a really long time, 587 00:35:29,960 --> 00:35:32,880 Speaker 3: people getting their jewelry taken from them when they go 588 00:35:32,960 --> 00:35:37,560 Speaker 3: out and into these spots. I tend to live by 589 00:35:37,600 --> 00:35:40,799 Speaker 3: the rule of if I gotta get security, if I 590 00:35:40,800 --> 00:35:43,560 Speaker 3: got to protect myself when I go there, I ain't 591 00:35:43,600 --> 00:35:46,879 Speaker 3: going there just for me. Just kind of a rule 592 00:35:46,880 --> 00:35:48,840 Speaker 3: of thumb, because at the end of the day, I 593 00:35:48,840 --> 00:35:51,160 Speaker 3: mean I've been a part of parties. I've thrown some 594 00:35:51,280 --> 00:35:57,160 Speaker 3: pretty pretty epic parties. I've attended parties. It isn't even 595 00:35:57,160 --> 00:36:01,960 Speaker 3: about jewelry. Sometimes it's about jealousy, it's about status, It's 596 00:36:02,080 --> 00:36:05,960 Speaker 3: it's about, you know, having moments. And I just can 597 00:36:06,040 --> 00:36:10,560 Speaker 3: recall being a part of parties and people having moments 598 00:36:10,560 --> 00:36:13,319 Speaker 3: where they were just jealous of other people that were there. 599 00:36:13,760 --> 00:36:16,239 Speaker 3: On one thing leads to another, next thing. You know, 600 00:36:16,280 --> 00:36:19,840 Speaker 3: you're hearing gunshots. If you know me, you might know 601 00:36:19,920 --> 00:36:23,960 Speaker 3: my story. But I was a part of being I 602 00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:27,040 Speaker 3: did a did a house party with with a couple 603 00:36:28,040 --> 00:36:30,160 Speaker 3: of the guys I played in the league with a 604 00:36:30,239 --> 00:36:33,520 Speaker 3: couple of my teammates. And you know, one of the 605 00:36:33,560 --> 00:36:38,000 Speaker 3: guys was he drank too much. The security of the 606 00:36:38,040 --> 00:36:40,799 Speaker 3: party was removing him from the party. Him and his 607 00:36:40,880 --> 00:36:43,839 Speaker 3: boys took exception to it, had some things to say 608 00:36:43,880 --> 00:36:46,719 Speaker 3: about it, then wanted to direct it towards me, as 609 00:36:46,719 --> 00:36:49,719 Speaker 3: if I was the problem and I was walking by 610 00:36:49,760 --> 00:36:52,800 Speaker 3: they saw me. It was that moment of truth, like okay, 611 00:36:52,800 --> 00:36:55,120 Speaker 3: we're talking trash on him. He was walking by. They 612 00:36:55,600 --> 00:37:00,200 Speaker 3: they decided to start talking trash to me. Ends up escalating, 613 00:37:00,719 --> 00:37:03,719 Speaker 3: ends up being a fight outside at their car as 614 00:37:03,719 --> 00:37:06,520 Speaker 3: they're being escorted to leave, and one of the security 615 00:37:06,560 --> 00:37:11,080 Speaker 3: gets shot. And needless to say, I was a part 616 00:37:11,160 --> 00:37:15,400 Speaker 3: of helping obviously with medical bills and stuff like that, 617 00:37:15,440 --> 00:37:17,799 Speaker 3: but they had to life flight him, had to life 618 00:37:17,840 --> 00:37:23,960 Speaker 3: flight him to the hospital. If you've experienced this, if 619 00:37:24,000 --> 00:37:28,200 Speaker 3: you've lived through having an incident in an episode happening 620 00:37:28,200 --> 00:37:31,080 Speaker 3: at a party or outside of a night spot, and 621 00:37:31,840 --> 00:37:34,759 Speaker 3: you realize that it just really changes the way you 622 00:37:34,800 --> 00:37:36,680 Speaker 3: feel about do I it's just the way I'm going 623 00:37:36,719 --> 00:37:40,160 Speaker 3: to have fun on my days off or on my weekend? 624 00:37:40,160 --> 00:37:43,680 Speaker 3: Am I going to do it this way? So you know, 625 00:37:43,760 --> 00:37:46,200 Speaker 3: it is what it is. It's it's unfortunate, it's sad, 626 00:37:46,239 --> 00:37:49,080 Speaker 3: But I say this, TJ.
