1 00:00:00,760 --> 00:00:03,600 Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox 2 00:00:03,680 --> 00:00:06,440 Speaker 1: Sports Radio. We've had a few days to think about it. 3 00:00:06,559 --> 00:00:08,639 Speaker 1: Time to get down to the nitty gritty of filling 4 00:00:08,640 --> 00:00:11,799 Speaker 1: out your bracket if you haven't. But the first question 5 00:00:11,960 --> 00:00:13,960 Speaker 1: is are you gonna go all chalk? You're gonna go 6 00:00:13,960 --> 00:00:16,840 Speaker 1: with Fritzi. Fritzie does that every year. I'm gonna take 7 00:00:16,880 --> 00:00:19,079 Speaker 1: the number one seed and then the number one seed, 8 00:00:19,239 --> 00:00:22,960 Speaker 1: number one seed, number second or third, and that feeds 9 00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:25,400 Speaker 1: might need to go with a lot of the favorites. 10 00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:28,880 Speaker 1: You know, Gonzaga enters the tournament as a legit favorite, 11 00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:31,720 Speaker 1: the undefeated, loaded with talent, got a one and done 12 00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:35,440 Speaker 1: on that team. Number one overall seeds though don't normally win. 13 00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:38,120 Speaker 1: Last time we had a team do that twenty thirteen, 14 00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:43,240 Speaker 1: it was the Louisville Cardinals. After Gonzaga, Baylor, Illinois lookout 15 00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:46,960 Speaker 1: standing and that would surprise no one if they reach 16 00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:50,120 Speaker 1: the final four. Michigan has had some health issues, but 17 00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:53,320 Speaker 1: Juan Howard's Wolverines they're still a very dangerous team. And 18 00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:57,120 Speaker 1: the tricky part is is you're not gonna win if 19 00:00:57,200 --> 00:01:00,320 Speaker 1: you go all chalk normally, right, The key is picking 20 00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:02,640 Speaker 1: an upset. There's always an outlier, and let's face it, 21 00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:04,520 Speaker 1: you need a little bit a lot of luck, not 22 00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:07,800 Speaker 1: a little. But that's why the guy who watched the 23 00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:11,200 Speaker 1: most college basketball doesn't win the bracket contest. You have 24 00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:13,800 Speaker 1: one more day to figure it all out, so good luck. 25 00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:17,640 Speaker 1: I feel like I know less because I watched more basketball, 26 00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:22,840 Speaker 1: and you know, we don't have that Markey player or players. 27 00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:27,120 Speaker 1: Gonzaga is a really good team. Obviously they're undefeated, but 28 00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:29,679 Speaker 1: you know they're not in the ACC or the SEC 29 00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:32,119 Speaker 1: or the Big Ten. You don't get to see them 30 00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:35,000 Speaker 1: on a regular basis unless you seek them out, and 31 00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:37,600 Speaker 1: then you watch them and you realize they do have everything. 32 00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:40,480 Speaker 1: They have really good players. I mentioned, they got a 33 00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:43,480 Speaker 1: one and done, they got leadership there, they've been in 34 00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:45,960 Speaker 1: a title game before, and they have a coach who's 35 00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:48,240 Speaker 1: been there a long long time, one of the most 36 00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:52,120 Speaker 1: successful coaches. And as far as winning percentage, the best 37 00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:57,400 Speaker 1: winning percentage in college basketball history, mark few. But we 38 00:01:57,480 --> 00:02:00,840 Speaker 1: know that there's magic that happens. We know there's upset surprises, 39 00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:04,080 Speaker 1: there's disappointment. There's going to be one, two, three of 40 00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:06,639 Speaker 1: those games where you go, how did that just happen? 41 00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:09,640 Speaker 1: But that's college basketball. You put him in a bubble, 42 00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:13,040 Speaker 1: and you're going to have even more craziness. And it 43 00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:15,760 Speaker 1: feels like every year I say the same thing, oh man, 44 00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:18,240 Speaker 1: this year is going to be crazy, and then next 45 00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:20,720 Speaker 1: year I'll say the same thing. But you're in a bubble. 46 00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:25,040 Speaker 1: That adds to the craziness here because Georgia Tech just 47 00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:27,720 Speaker 1: lost its best player, the ACC Player of the year 48 00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:31,160 Speaker 1: out for the first two games if they survived the 49 00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:35,200 Speaker 1: first round, Like, that's how crazy this has been. And 50 00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:38,160 Speaker 1: then you have the coaching vacancies that are also thrown 51 00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:42,800 Speaker 1: in there. You're in Indiana. Indiana is not playing, but 52 00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:46,639 Speaker 1: the job at Indiana is open. And I've been going 53 00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:50,919 Speaker 1: back and forth with a source this morning about what's 54 00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:55,600 Speaker 1: going on at Indiana. And my source said to me 55 00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:59,200 Speaker 1: this morning was told Scott Drew will not be the 56 00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:02,000 Speaker 1: next head coach at Indiana. He's Baylor's head coach. He's 57 00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:05,840 Speaker 1: from Indiana. His dad was a legendary coach at Valaparaiso. 58 00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:08,480 Speaker 1: And then I followed up, I say, well, who do 59 00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:11,800 Speaker 1: you think would be the front runner at Indiana? And 60 00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:15,160 Speaker 1: my source said, well, you know, probably somebody would ties 61 00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:19,360 Speaker 1: to Bobby Knight, the new athletic director is a former 62 00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:26,280 Speaker 1: Bob Knight manager, and we'll connect with former players. You've 63 00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:29,960 Speaker 1: got Tony Bennett at Virginia is a name that I 64 00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:35,840 Speaker 1: was told Chris Beard. He's at Texas Tech. Brad Stevens 65 00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:38,280 Speaker 1: is on the list, but he's not going to be 66 00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:40,160 Speaker 1: on the list because he said, look, I love it, 67 00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:42,680 Speaker 1: I have ties there. It's emotional for me of friends 68 00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:47,920 Speaker 1: and family. He's the coach of the Celtics. Bennett would 69 00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:52,240 Speaker 1: be great because according to my sores, his dad and 70 00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:55,400 Speaker 1: his dad was a legendary coach Wisconsin, Green Bay, a 71 00:03:55,440 --> 00:04:00,480 Speaker 1: few places. But his dad and Bob Knight were great friends. 72 00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:05,440 Speaker 1: But as I sort of said, Tony Bennett's sister was 73 00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:16,080 Speaker 1: the women's coach at Indiana and she was fired. Oh yeah, 74 00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:17,880 Speaker 1: so I think there's a lot of things that are 75 00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:22,960 Speaker 1: going on there. Uh. You know, if you're Brad Stevens, 76 00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:26,800 Speaker 1: if this was another year, maybe next year, depending on 77 00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:29,520 Speaker 1: what happens this year, then maybe that would be something 78 00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:33,480 Speaker 1: you would be interested in. But it's now and I 79 00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:35,480 Speaker 1: don't know. You know, Beard did a great job getting 80 00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:38,320 Speaker 1: his team to the Final four couple of years ago, 81 00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:44,159 Speaker 1: title game, but you know, he's at Texas Tech. He's 82 00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:47,880 Speaker 1: done a great job down there. But it feels like 83 00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:50,680 Speaker 1: it's somebody with ties to Bob Knight who's going to 84 00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:53,280 Speaker 1: get this job at Indiana. I don't know if it's 85 00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:56,080 Speaker 1: Dane Fife. He's at Michigan State. I mean, he's the 86 00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:59,120 Speaker 1: associate head coach. He's another guy he played, you know, 87 00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:02,560 Speaker 1: for Bob Knight and Indiana. That would be kind of 88 00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:06,080 Speaker 1: the sleeper one for me. John bee Line, who coached 89 00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:08,760 Speaker 1: at Michigan and then went to the Cavaliers and then 90 00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:11,440 Speaker 1: got fired there. That's another name to keep an eye on. 91 00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:14,320 Speaker 1: But he's in his late sixties. I don't know if 92 00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:17,440 Speaker 1: that's what you want to do at Indiana. But you're 93 00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:19,400 Speaker 1: gonna have a lot of different names because it is 94 00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:22,920 Speaker 1: still a coveted job. But I don't know if you're 95 00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:25,440 Speaker 1: going to get I don't know if you're gonna get 96 00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:27,400 Speaker 1: who you think you're going to get, a lot of 97 00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:30,760 Speaker 1: times when you're in a bubble, you think your job 98 00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:33,719 Speaker 1: is so great and so big and so important, and 99 00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:35,600 Speaker 1: so many people are going to be applying for it. 100 00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:39,559 Speaker 1: Indiana han't done anything in a long time now, maybe 101 00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:41,839 Speaker 1: that's the time to come in and take over, you know, 102 00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:44,040 Speaker 1: Archie Miller came in after doing a great job at 103 00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:47,560 Speaker 1: Dayton and he washed out after four years and they 104 00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:49,960 Speaker 1: had to pay a big buy out, reportedly like ten 105 00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:55,480 Speaker 1: million dollars just to get rid of him. But Steve Alford, 106 00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:59,320 Speaker 1: who said he wasn't interested, is not on the list 107 00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:03,200 Speaker 1: from what I'm told. But you know, legendary Indiana player 108 00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:04,960 Speaker 1: not on the list, yep on, that's the guy's going 109 00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:07,280 Speaker 1: to bring up. It didn't feel like a decade a 110 00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:09,599 Speaker 1: decade a half ago is destiny that Steve Alford would 111 00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:12,200 Speaker 1: one day coach and he would be at Iowa. And 112 00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:13,600 Speaker 1: it didn't work out the timing, and he had a 113 00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:16,359 Speaker 1: pretty good run of Island and New Mexico and Ula, 114 00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:18,880 Speaker 1: it just never timed out. And now Alfred's not even 115 00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:21,920 Speaker 1: close to hot anymore. And it felt like Jim Harbaugh, 116 00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:24,640 Speaker 1: that's some day he would go back. Well, you have 117 00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:27,599 Speaker 1: him at Nevada, but he hasn't really done anything, and 118 00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:30,200 Speaker 1: he took over for a Musselman who's done a great 119 00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:33,760 Speaker 1: job at Arkansas. But that's sort of what's happening, you 120 00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:37,520 Speaker 1: know with basketball in Indiana. And then there's the opening 121 00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:42,279 Speaker 1: at IU. There was we had Juwan Howard on yesterday 122 00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:45,600 Speaker 1: and Juwan Howard was trying to get a job as 123 00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:47,719 Speaker 1: an NBA head coach. He was an assistant coach with 124 00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:50,200 Speaker 1: the Miami Heat and then the opening happened at his 125 00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:54,640 Speaker 1: alma mater and he's done a wonderful job with that team. 126 00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:57,600 Speaker 1: And I asked him about is his goal to still 127 00:06:57,640 --> 00:07:00,680 Speaker 1: get back to the NBA as a head coach. I 128 00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:03,640 Speaker 1: never ever thought about that. That's the past now. Really, 129 00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:07,799 Speaker 1: I'm so locked in to Michigan Good. I love this place. 130 00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:13,120 Speaker 1: I'm joining my experience. I'm growing each and every day, 131 00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:17,840 Speaker 1: growing with my staff to become a better coach. And 132 00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:22,040 Speaker 1: he's got a great job. These are the jobs that 133 00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:27,920 Speaker 1: you keep for a long time. And that's all I 134 00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:30,679 Speaker 1: have to do is remember what happened to John Beeline. 135 00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:33,400 Speaker 1: John bee Line as a Hall of Fame coach, and 136 00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:36,680 Speaker 1: then John bee Line for some reason, wanted to jump 137 00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:41,360 Speaker 1: to the NBA and coach the Cavaliers. You get that job, 138 00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:45,920 Speaker 1: you keep that job as long as you can. And 139 00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:49,520 Speaker 1: in college basketball, I get to keep players their stability. 140 00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:52,760 Speaker 1: Like I don't want to go coach the Timberwolves. I'm 141 00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:57,480 Speaker 1: gonna coach for three years and then that's it. Michigan. 142 00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:01,680 Speaker 1: You can coach there for ten years, fifteen years if 143 00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:04,840 Speaker 1: you want. Ego gets in the way, and then you go, 144 00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:08,720 Speaker 1: I've accomplished everything, Get stagnant, get bored, whatever it might be. 145 00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:11,560 Speaker 1: But I have great respect for those who continue to 146 00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:14,840 Speaker 1: reinvent themselves at the same job, in the same job. 147 00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:17,720 Speaker 1: It's really hard to do. We all want what is 148 00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:21,080 Speaker 1: new different? You know. I thought this when I was 149 00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:25,400 Speaker 1: at ESPN eighteen years there, and I kept thinking, I 150 00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:27,600 Speaker 1: think I've kind of mastered Sports Center. It's got to 151 00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:29,480 Speaker 1: be something else out there. And then the more I 152 00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:31,400 Speaker 1: thought about it, the more I enjoyed going to work 153 00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:35,120 Speaker 1: every single day and doing that show every single night. 154 00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:39,840 Speaker 1: And I could have gone to NBC or CBS. And 155 00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:42,760 Speaker 1: I remember Bob Costa say, I don't know how you 156 00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:44,920 Speaker 1: work every day, And I said, I don't know how 157 00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:48,240 Speaker 1: you don't work every day like I love that. I 158 00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:50,800 Speaker 1: love the grind. It's every single day that you're knee 159 00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:54,040 Speaker 1: deep in this. And I hope that Juan Howard stays there. 160 00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:59,040 Speaker 1: I mean, as long as he's happy, content challenged, I 161 00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:03,480 Speaker 1: love that. And he prospered in the best conference in 162 00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:09,280 Speaker 1: basketball this year. Probably get an extension, but We see 163 00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:12,800 Speaker 1: this happen a lot of times, where hey, I signed 164 00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:15,840 Speaker 1: a seven year deal extension and then all of a sudden, 165 00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:19,679 Speaker 1: it's like, wait, where are you going? Yep, and my dream, 166 00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:24,760 Speaker 1: my new dream job is But if you can keep 167 00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:30,000 Speaker 1: those jobs great, that would be my recommendation. There are 168 00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:32,000 Speaker 1: a lot of people in the business who like to 169 00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:34,920 Speaker 1: bounce around, and they like to say that it's a 170 00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:39,599 Speaker 1: new challenge. How about accept the old challenge of continuing 171 00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:42,320 Speaker 1: to be great at some place. But everybody's chasing money. 172 00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:47,000 Speaker 1: That's what it is, chasing money. And then after a 173 00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:49,360 Speaker 1: while you realize, I got money, I don't have what 174 00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:52,120 Speaker 1: do I have? I don't have any stability here, Like 175 00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:54,839 Speaker 1: what is my legacy? Hey? You bounced around, you bounced around, 176 00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:56,760 Speaker 1: you bounced around. Hey, but look at how much money 177 00:09:56,800 --> 00:10:01,680 Speaker 1: I made, And then you're gonna end up empty. And 178 00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:05,360 Speaker 1: these coaches do have a lot of money, But what 179 00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:07,839 Speaker 1: do you have to show for it? Got a lot 180 00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:10,960 Speaker 1: of jobs? Yeah, I just looked at Juan Howard's career 181 00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:13,480 Speaker 1: salary in the NBA. He's all set for the cash. Yeah, 182 00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:15,560 Speaker 1: he doesn't have to worry about whatever Michigan's paid him. 183 00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:17,560 Speaker 1: That's gravy. Yeah, but he wants to be able to 184 00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:22,040 Speaker 1: prove he can coach in the NBA. Oh I don't know, yeh, Like, 185 00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:25,520 Speaker 1: just take him at his word, but that's what he'll fight. 186 00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:31,400 Speaker 1: He's gonna he'll fight the urge to that opening, and 187 00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:34,760 Speaker 1: you know he's more suited. It feels like to being 188 00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:37,440 Speaker 1: a college coach. There are guys who were college coaches. 189 00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:40,440 Speaker 1: Steve Spurrier college coach. He was not an NFL coach. 190 00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:44,440 Speaker 1: You know, Nick Saban is a college coach. Mike Shashevski 191 00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:47,840 Speaker 1: a college coach. Coach k flirted with the Lakers many 192 00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:52,040 Speaker 1: many years ago. You don't have to have a different makeup, 193 00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:55,320 Speaker 1: and you also have to know when you get there, 194 00:10:56,160 --> 00:10:58,880 Speaker 1: you're down the totem pole. The players run the league. 195 00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:02,760 Speaker 1: I mean, Pat was a pro coach. Everything about him. 196 00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:07,600 Speaker 1: Now Ryless as a college coach, it probably would have 197 00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:11,240 Speaker 1: driven him crazy pro coach. For some reason, it worked 198 00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:14,520 Speaker 1: for Ryles. But there are certain coaches where you go 199 00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:19,760 Speaker 1: he fits in college, like Urban Meyer. Urban Meyer's a 200 00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:23,680 Speaker 1: college coach. But there's part of you that says he 201 00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:27,000 Speaker 1: could have had the Texas job. In fact, he was 202 00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:31,880 Speaker 1: offered the Texas job ten million dollars a year. I 203 00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:35,080 Speaker 1: wanted to try something different. Good for him. It's not 204 00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:39,600 Speaker 1: less stressful, and he's going to take the field knowing 205 00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:42,720 Speaker 1: out of those sixteen games or if we get to 206 00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:47,160 Speaker 1: seventeen game schedule, his team is going to be inferior 207 00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:52,520 Speaker 1: fourteen of those seventeen games. And it was just the 208 00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:56,000 Speaker 1: opposite when he was in college, certainly at Ohio State, 209 00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:58,520 Speaker 1: when you walk on the field and you go, we're 210 00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:00,679 Speaker 1: better than them. He not going to be able to 211 00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:04,240 Speaker 1: do that at Jacksonville and getting used to that feeling 212 00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:09,360 Speaker 1: of what it's like to lose. He'll lose more games 213 00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:12,960 Speaker 1: in his first season than he probably lost in his 214 00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:17,480 Speaker 1: last five seasons at Ohio State, and losing is what 215 00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:22,240 Speaker 1: kills you, that eats you up. Caliperry, John Caliperry tried 216 00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:24,520 Speaker 1: it in the NBA. It didn't work. That's not who 217 00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:28,559 Speaker 1: he is. Tom Izzoe flirted with going to the Cleveland Cavaliers. 218 00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:30,839 Speaker 1: He was going to go to the Calves. That was 219 00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:35,640 Speaker 1: the year on Lebron left, he would have been gone instead. 220 00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:38,760 Speaker 1: You have this legacy at Michigan State. You know Roy 221 00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:43,079 Speaker 1: Williams understands, understood this is this is who I am. 222 00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:47,040 Speaker 1: My personality and that's another thing. You have to understand 223 00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:49,760 Speaker 1: who you are, and that's hard for us to do. 224 00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:53,280 Speaker 1: When do you figure out who you are? But you know, 225 00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:56,560 Speaker 1: coach count went to the nets that didn't work out. 226 00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:00,840 Speaker 1: You know, I always thought Pete Carroll was a college coach. 227 00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:03,600 Speaker 1: But he's done a great job in Seattle. But I 228 00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:06,480 Speaker 1: just thought he was more geared towards that raw raw 229 00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:10,360 Speaker 1: on the sidelines, you know, my guys, and they buy 230 00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:14,600 Speaker 1: into his philosophy. And then you get to the NFL 231 00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:17,200 Speaker 1: and all of a sudden you got a quarterback who says, hey, 232 00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:21,240 Speaker 1: I want to be involved in this. I don't. I 233 00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:23,400 Speaker 1: don't want to be traded. But if I do get traded, 234 00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:25,080 Speaker 1: you know, you don't have that. You might have the 235 00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:30,240 Speaker 1: transfer portal at USC but that's about it. So it's 236 00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:36,679 Speaker 1: kind of crazy basketball. Obviously on the front burner the 237 00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:41,400 Speaker 1: Bears situation that they've been criticized. We have a different 238 00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:46,640 Speaker 1: view of that. With the Seahawks, the offer that they made. 239 00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:49,000 Speaker 1: As I told you about that yesterday, I did find 240 00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:52,160 Speaker 1: out about let's see what time is it twenty after 241 00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:57,320 Speaker 1: about forty five minutes ago the Bears based The Bears 242 00:13:57,440 --> 00:14:00,600 Speaker 1: basically said, whoever you want on our roster, you can 243 00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:04,320 Speaker 1: have two picks. So they had draft picks and then 244 00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:07,280 Speaker 1: they had their pick of the roster. That's from what 245 00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:12,240 Speaker 1: I'm told that no one was untouchable, but Seattle said no, 246 00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:14,960 Speaker 1: Why did they take the meeting in the first place. 247 00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:18,800 Speaker 1: Didn't they know that there was nothing there? And did 248 00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:21,840 Speaker 1: they get a chance to counter? That's what I want 249 00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:26,080 Speaker 1: to know. If if John Schneider meets with Ryan Pace 250 00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:28,800 Speaker 1: of the Bears and they're there in North Dakota to 251 00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:34,120 Speaker 1: see Trey Lance, and then you go, hey, John, I 252 00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:37,760 Speaker 1: got this offer for Russell Wilson. And then if John 253 00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:42,760 Speaker 1: Schneider goes no, or I'll take it back to Pete Carroll, 254 00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:47,200 Speaker 1: then did you get a chance to go, Okay, well 255 00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:50,160 Speaker 1: what will work? Like? Tell me what would work for you? 256 00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:52,920 Speaker 1: Because they're they're from what I'm told, there wasn't a 257 00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:55,080 Speaker 1: scenario where they were going to trade with the Bears 258 00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:58,960 Speaker 1: because they don't have a quarterback. But I don't know 259 00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:03,600 Speaker 1: if it's if I'm I just set the market now. 260 00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:06,560 Speaker 1: They didn't. They didn't want this information coming out. They're 261 00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:09,680 Speaker 1: not pleased that I reported this yesterday, But I don't 262 00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:11,480 Speaker 1: worry about that, and I don't play favorites. I just 263 00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:14,480 Speaker 1: tell you what I find out. But they set the market, 264 00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:20,200 Speaker 1: and I think that's what's interesting because now you know, hey, 265 00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:22,560 Speaker 1: this is what they offered and they turned that down. 266 00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:26,160 Speaker 1: But do I think Russ can still be had. I 267 00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:30,640 Speaker 1: think it's going to be difficult. I do. And the 268 00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:33,880 Speaker 1: same with Deshaun Watson with this lawsuit that's going on, 269 00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:38,080 Speaker 1: or these lawsuits gon't be difficult to move him.

I have not seen 289 00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:51,960 Speaker 1: the complaint, but I know this. I have never treated 290 00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:55,400 Speaker 1: any woman with anything other than the utmost respect. The 291 00:16:55,480 --> 00:17:00,000 Speaker 1: plaintiff's lawyer claims that this isn't about money, but before 292 00:16:59,800 --> 00:17:04,080 Speaker 1: filing suit, he made a baseless six figures settlement demand, 293 00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:07,480 Speaker 1: which I quickly rejected. Unlike him, this isn't about money 294 00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:10,240 Speaker 1: for me. It's about clearing my name and I look 295 00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:14,080 Speaker 1: forward to doing that. Aaron Wilson covers the Texans for 296 00:17:14,119 --> 00:17:17,679 Speaker 1: The Houston Chronicle kind enough to join us on short notice. 297 00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:22,800 Speaker 1: Aaron update us on when these allegations were first made 298 00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:27,639 Speaker 1: public with DeShawn Watson just two days ago. Dan Tony 299 00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:32,399 Speaker 1: Busby unsuccessfully ran from mayor and remember the Texans and 300 00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:36,159 Speaker 1: a board of trustees. Very prominent lawyer A very wealthy lawyer. 301 00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:39,399 Speaker 1: He filed the lawsuit. He announced it first as a 302 00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:43,600 Speaker 1: law unusual on Instagram, saying that the lawsuit had been filed. 303 00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:46,439 Speaker 1: It had not been filed, was filed the next morning. 304 00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:52,680 Speaker 1: The previous to that, the had, in fact, I was told, 305 00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:57,480 Speaker 1: sought money the woman that had made the first allegation 306 00:17:57,880 --> 00:18:04,480 Speaker 1: that Deshaun Watson and had sexually harassed her in a massage, 307 00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:07,760 Speaker 1: and all the details have been an outlined in the lawsuit, 308 00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:11,960 Speaker 1: but that was the timeline. So after that happened, then 309 00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:16,320 Speaker 1: subsequently he fills it in Harris County District Court and 310 00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:18,359 Speaker 1: it only costs me three hund twenty five dollars to 311 00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:24,000 Speaker 1: file a lawsuit. And the allegations are made, there's no documents. 312 00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:29,240 Speaker 1: The text message of all an apology after their exchange, 313 00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:32,320 Speaker 1: and that's not present. I don't know if that will 314 00:18:32,359 --> 00:18:37,040 Speaker 1: happen at discovery, if in fact it exists. If it does, so, 315 00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:40,480 Speaker 1: there's you know that, and you know Deshaun reacts to 316 00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:47,119 Speaker 1: it on social denies doing anything disrespectful to any Woman's 317 00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:51,919 Speaker 1: basically a blanket statement. And what's now happened is after 318 00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:54,800 Speaker 1: the initial one, he's asking for anyone else to come 319 00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:58,040 Speaker 1: forward and that he hasn't filed the second lawsuit. That's 320 00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:00,959 Speaker 1: what happened yesterday. So he comes with a second lawsuit. 321 00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:04,160 Speaker 1: The legend that Deshaun Watson flew in a woman from 322 00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:07,439 Speaker 1: Atlanta to meet him at the Estonia, which is a 323 00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:11,640 Speaker 1: very fancy spa hotel and kind of like a place 324 00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:15,320 Speaker 1: that other rich folks in Houston hang out. It's a 325 00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:19,240 Speaker 1: country clone of ass back to it, and you know, 326 00:19:19,359 --> 00:19:22,680 Speaker 1: a legend that there was this you know, different type 327 00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:27,000 Speaker 1: of situation, different massage, but different woman. And so now 328 00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:29,880 Speaker 1: he's saying he has six and he's going to file 329 00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:34,280 Speaker 1: six lawsuits, is what twenty buns Be has stated on Instagram. 330 00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:38,960 Speaker 1: And so we're expecting another filing today and he says 331 00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:42,840 Speaker 1: this one will be, um, you know have some you know, 332 00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:48,520 Speaker 1: a lot of you know obviously you know, very delicious details. Uh, 333 00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:50,520 Speaker 1: kind of like the last one, which I thought was 334 00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:55,919 Speaker 1: you know, very you know, graphic in nature and some 335 00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:57,760 Speaker 1: of the stuff that's kind of like hard to repeat 336 00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:01,159 Speaker 1: just on a family radio show. But it was no, 337 00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:06,159 Speaker 1: definitely a very raw portrayal and again only allegations, all unproven, 338 00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:10,960 Speaker 1: all civil. My understanding is that never ever was where 339 00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:16,280 Speaker 1: the police calls, No allegations were made. You know, you're 340 00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:19,840 Speaker 1: trying to make it a criminal matter. And like DeShawn said, 341 00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:22,960 Speaker 1: my understanding is it's been a money gram from the 342 00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:28,000 Speaker 1: start with the first alleged victim, Jane Doe. Both of 343 00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:30,639 Speaker 1: these Grimy Jane Does. They'll all be apparently Jane Does. 344 00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:35,199 Speaker 1: There won't be a name attached. What about the what 345 00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:38,119 Speaker 1: about the football side of this? So Aaron, the timing 346 00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:41,000 Speaker 1: of this, We have the draft coming up next month, 347 00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:44,720 Speaker 1: you have the possibility of DeShawn not playing for the team, 348 00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:49,520 Speaker 1: Tyrod Taylor gets signed. Is this all coincidence that it's 349 00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:52,480 Speaker 1: all kind of converging right now? And what's this do 350 00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:57,160 Speaker 1: for the so called trade market for Deshaun Watson right 351 00:20:57,640 --> 00:21:00,639 Speaker 1: There have been a lot of conspiracy theories on social 352 00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:04,720 Speaker 1: media about the timing, including Tyrod Taylor You're being signed 353 00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:08,760 Speaker 1: hours before. My understanding is that is coincidental because they 354 00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:13,720 Speaker 1: always intended to address the quarterback position. The way it 355 00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:17,680 Speaker 1: affects trade value is if there's an NFL investigation, they 356 00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:22,080 Speaker 1: have really when you look at the NFL, you know 357 00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:24,639 Speaker 1: their response yesterday was you they're just they have no 358 00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:28,480 Speaker 1: comment on it, and they're not in a stage where 359 00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:30,720 Speaker 1: I think they're doing anything, and they may never do anything. 360 00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:32,520 Speaker 1: They may just view it as a civil matter that 361 00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:35,920 Speaker 1: they don't want to address. It could be handled that way, 362 00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:37,800 Speaker 1: It could be handling in a different way depending on 363 00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:40,600 Speaker 1: how they feel about it. What's the outcome? You know? 364 00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:43,399 Speaker 1: If what if he settled, you know, what would happen? 365 00:21:43,800 --> 00:21:45,760 Speaker 1: Would they then look at it as something like well 366 00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:47,720 Speaker 1: as that an admission? Do we need to look into 367 00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:51,679 Speaker 1: this more sure? They monitor everything in terms of the 368 00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:55,399 Speaker 1: trade market. The teams are still interested. I know that 369 00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:59,320 Speaker 1: for a fact, and that has not changed. Would it 370 00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:02,040 Speaker 1: changed the terms if they were to get to a 371 00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:05,199 Speaker 1: point where they're negotiating. The Texans are just in a 372 00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:09,880 Speaker 1: listening mode and or telling people, you know, no, we're 373 00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:13,080 Speaker 1: not interested. They're still steadfast and not out to him, 374 00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:15,800 Speaker 1: and he will not play for them again. He is 375 00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:20,159 Speaker 1: made that una quickly clear Dan that he has no 376 00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:22,520 Speaker 1: intention to ever play another down. That's the way he's 377 00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:25,679 Speaker 1: put it to friends for the Texans. He's really intentional 378 00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:29,600 Speaker 1: in that, and he told David Culley that, so you 379 00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:34,000 Speaker 1: know that's all been communicated. Do you think that he's traded. 380 00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:39,200 Speaker 1: If he's traded, it's before the draft. I think there's 381 00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:41,720 Speaker 1: a very good chance that he could be held onto 382 00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:45,720 Speaker 1: And yeah, I wouldn't be if I wouldn't assume anything 383 00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:50,600 Speaker 1: instead of moving fluid situation. It makes the most logical sense, 384 00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:53,080 Speaker 1: and everyone knows that the value is the highest, and 385 00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:56,239 Speaker 1: then you know what the picks are. If you do 386 00:22:56,280 --> 00:22:58,639 Speaker 1: it later, if you do it in twenty twenty two, 387 00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:02,640 Speaker 1: then it's not the same kind of terms, and it 388 00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:06,359 Speaker 1: does set, as I've been told many times, a terrible 389 00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:10,040 Speaker 1: precedent if a player can you know, essentially forced himself out. 390 00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:13,160 Speaker 1: And I would not rule out of the Texans playing 391 00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:15,720 Speaker 1: a hardball and you but can you put it in 392 00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:20,080 Speaker 1: simplistic terms here, Aaron, what is DeShawn Watson's problem with 393 00:23:20,119 --> 00:23:23,439 Speaker 1: the franchise? Is it on the field or off the field. 394 00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:29,200 Speaker 1: It's off the field that his trust in them, and 395 00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:35,320 Speaker 1: his feelings about how business was conducted and the state 396 00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:39,160 Speaker 1: of the franchise, and his interactions obviously with the owner, 397 00:23:39,320 --> 00:23:42,480 Speaker 1: Tom McNair, and him feeling that he was going to 398 00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:45,200 Speaker 1: have input. It's not one thing, as I've been told 399 00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:50,040 Speaker 1: many times, it's a culmination of all those things affecting 400 00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:53,399 Speaker 1: his you know, trust in the organization and how he 401 00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:56,440 Speaker 1: feels about the organization. So it's not just one thing. 402 00:23:56,640 --> 00:23:58,880 Speaker 1: There's so I would say the last is sort of 403 00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:01,080 Speaker 1: finding out on social media. That's kind of like the 404 00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:03,239 Speaker 1: straw that broke the camel's back then. But it's not 405 00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:06,320 Speaker 1: a situation where you say, man, that's it. No, it's 406 00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:10,560 Speaker 1: just finding out about DeAndre Hopkins trade on social media, 407 00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:13,479 Speaker 1: basically not being consulted. I would say, if you had 408 00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:16,040 Speaker 1: one more thing, he just didn't feel like he is 409 00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:19,680 Speaker 1: being treated like a partner of the organization. They feel 410 00:24:19,680 --> 00:24:21,679 Speaker 1: like he's been treated just like a normal player in 411 00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:26,560 Speaker 1: some cases. So that you know, bothered him, and it 412 00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:28,960 Speaker 1: bothered him to the point that he requested the trade 413 00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:31,840 Speaker 1: and that's where they are, and that he's been stit 414 00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:37,080 Speaker 1: fast in that. Man, he's not fludging, not an iota. Well, 415 00:24:37,119 --> 00:24:39,359 Speaker 1: I know you've got a lot of work ahead of you. Aaron. 416 00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:43,080 Speaker 1: We appreciate you joining us, and thank you, Thank you 417 00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:45,879 Speaker 1: so much. DA. That's Aaron Wilson.

Peter Division three team. 426 00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:17,639 Speaker 1: They've had their moments, but not at the division. I 427 00:25:17,680 --> 00:25:20,199 Speaker 1: tell you, I am such a fool. Dan. I was 428 00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:22,920 Speaker 1: so excited to have like a pizza and a beer 429 00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:26,399 Speaker 1: at noon Eastern and watch all the I just found 430 00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:28,680 Speaker 1: out literally this morning, like literally this morning that they're 431 00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:31,439 Speaker 1: doing the staggered thing. And I texted Iron Eagle. I'm like, 432 00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:36,960 Speaker 1: what game are you on today? And he's like, dude, yeah, 433 00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:39,439 Speaker 1: you're out of touch? How did you Who do you 434 00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:42,760 Speaker 1: have winning? By the way, I had my four year 435 00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:45,040 Speaker 1: old son do my bracket. He likes Maryland because they 436 00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:48,680 Speaker 1: wore yellow one time. Okay, we go with Maryland. That's 437 00:25:48,680 --> 00:25:52,000 Speaker 1: a gutsy call. But went for it. Yeah, yeah, whatever, 438 00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:54,679 Speaker 1: your philosophy is, all right? How would you sum up 439 00:25:54,720 --> 00:25:58,879 Speaker 1: this week of free agency? Kind of fun? Like the 440 00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:01,520 Speaker 1: Patriots thing I can't talk enough about. I got Belichick 441 00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:03,639 Speaker 1: behind me on my screen here. I think that they 442 00:26:03,760 --> 00:26:07,160 Speaker 1: zig whateveronnel zags and I'm here for it. The salary 443 00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:09,840 Speaker 1: cap is down fifteen million dollars. A lot of these 444 00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:12,160 Speaker 1: teams were preparing for it to go up fifteen million dollars. 445 00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:15,040 Speaker 1: So think about that thirty million dollar deferential. So all 446 00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:17,240 Speaker 1: of them thought they were doing one strategy. Let's just 447 00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:19,200 Speaker 1: be smart with their money and wait these players out. 448 00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:22,840 Speaker 1: Belichick pounced. It's almost like he saw a market inefficiency. 449 00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:25,520 Speaker 1: I'm fascinated to see how this works out. It's against 450 00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:27,879 Speaker 1: everything he has been about for twenty years as a 451 00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:30,600 Speaker 1: head coach in personnel man. But they broke the bank 452 00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:32,960 Speaker 1: and they got some good talent. I don't know if 453 00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:35,600 Speaker 1: they got any A plus talent, but they certainly are 454 00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:37,359 Speaker 1: relevant again in the AFC. And I just thought the 455 00:26:37,359 --> 00:26:40,360 Speaker 1: strategy was so interesting from Belichick. Is he building an 456 00:26:40,359 --> 00:26:46,040 Speaker 1: offense that it suits Cam Newton? Yeah? I mean those 457 00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:48,240 Speaker 1: tight ends, that's that's what that's telling me. That's telling 458 00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:50,640 Speaker 1: me we've got to get additional blocking, and we're also 459 00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:53,320 Speaker 1: going to get that ten to fifteen yard intermediary stuff. 460 00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:54,840 Speaker 1: And we're not looking for you to throw that deepot. 461 00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:56,280 Speaker 1: I don't know if Cam Newton can throw the ball 462 00:26:56,280 --> 00:26:58,359 Speaker 1: fifteen yards anymore, I honestly don't. I didn't see it 463 00:26:58,359 --> 00:27:00,320 Speaker 1: towards the end of the season. But when you have 464 00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:03,480 Speaker 1: all these guys like John nu and then Edelman, and 465 00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:05,479 Speaker 1: then now you add in Hunter Henry, who I think 466 00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:08,520 Speaker 1: could be fantastic, You've got big bodies who can run 467 00:27:08,560 --> 00:27:10,879 Speaker 1: the intermediary routes and can block. So yeah, but if 468 00:27:10,880 --> 00:27:13,400 Speaker 1: you have guys that, like, I don't understand this, why 469 00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:15,360 Speaker 1: are you set at quarterback if you've got a quarterback 470 00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:17,640 Speaker 1: who can't throw. I don't know if they think they're 471 00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:20,359 Speaker 1: set at quarterback. They have a quarterback, and these guys 472 00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:22,400 Speaker 1: played at his suit, you know, suit his stuff. So 473 00:27:23,119 --> 00:27:27,480 Speaker 1: at the very near term, their offense got significantly better 474 00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:29,600 Speaker 1: over the last four days than they were last year. 475 00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:32,359 Speaker 1: And I think it's a bit of not humble pie. 476 00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:35,000 Speaker 1: But like for years, Belichick didn't do this. And one 477 00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:36,560 Speaker 1: of the reasons why I was like, you build through 478 00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:39,919 Speaker 1: the draft. You let your free agents sign elsewhere, and 479 00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:42,200 Speaker 1: then you get the compensatory picks and you get a 480 00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:43,760 Speaker 1: bunch of third and fourth round picks, and we can 481 00:27:43,840 --> 00:27:46,639 Speaker 1: draft a Gronk or an Aaron Hernandez wherever they've whipped 482 00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:49,080 Speaker 1: in the draft the last few years with the third 483 00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:52,600 Speaker 1: and fourth round pick. So essentially he's like, we're not 484 00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:55,080 Speaker 1: gonna get big compensatory picks from the free agents that 485 00:27:55,119 --> 00:27:57,600 Speaker 1: are leaving because no one really besides Joe Tuoney is 486 00:27:57,640 --> 00:27:59,879 Speaker 1: a big name. So let's just do it. Let's just 487 00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:01,720 Speaker 1: ripped the band aid off and get him. I just 488 00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:06,280 Speaker 1: don't know if Agalore and Bourne necessarily make this wide 489 00:28:06,320 --> 00:28:09,360 Speaker 1: receivers group what they have down in Tampa Bay overnight 490 00:28:09,560 --> 00:28:11,880 Speaker 1: and you've got some wide receivers who are still out there, 491 00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:17,119 Speaker 1: you know, Kenny Galladay, Smith Schuster, will Fuller, Where do 492 00:28:17,119 --> 00:28:21,199 Speaker 1: you see? Could they be changing the structure of the 493 00:28:21,240 --> 00:28:24,399 Speaker 1: power structure in the NFL. I think a lot of 494 00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:26,240 Speaker 1: these guys in their agents are waking up on a 495 00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:30,439 Speaker 1: Thursday morning a little bewildered, surprised and now having to 496 00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:33,800 Speaker 1: readjust what they expected. Look, Kenny Galladay was offered a 497 00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:37,080 Speaker 1: really handsome two year deal by the Lions during the season. 498 00:28:37,119 --> 00:28:39,520 Speaker 1: He turned it away because he wanted to hit free agency. 499 00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:42,320 Speaker 1: His agent, Todd France as the same agent as Dak Prescott. 500 00:28:42,640 --> 00:28:44,440 Speaker 1: He said, let's bet on ourselves and you'll get more 501 00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:46,600 Speaker 1: money elsewhere. Well, I don't know if that money's there 502 00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:49,240 Speaker 1: right now. And now Kenny Galladay, who was viewed as 503 00:28:49,280 --> 00:28:52,040 Speaker 1: the top wide receiver talent, is having to get on 504 00:28:52,040 --> 00:28:54,640 Speaker 1: a plane. He's gonna the Giants want to meet him 505 00:28:54,680 --> 00:28:56,640 Speaker 1: before they do anything. They want to speak with him 506 00:28:56,680 --> 00:28:59,480 Speaker 1: in person. The Bengals offered him something for what I'm told, 507 00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:01,880 Speaker 1: but it's the Cincinnati Bengals and it's a one year, 508 00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:04,680 Speaker 1: proven deal. Like I think, it's just kind of shocking 509 00:29:04,680 --> 00:29:07,640 Speaker 1: for a lot of these wide receivers and for Juju. Look, 510 00:29:08,320 --> 00:29:10,800 Speaker 1: I got accused of being one of those people who 511 00:29:10,840 --> 00:29:12,280 Speaker 1: was yelling at a cloud and I was like, I 512 00:29:12,280 --> 00:29:14,640 Speaker 1: don't like the TikTok dancing before a game, and I 513 00:29:14,680 --> 00:29:18,320 Speaker 1: don't necessarily like the dancing on a logo before you Look, 514 00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:20,800 Speaker 1: everyone rocked me then in December, and I was like, 515 00:29:20,880 --> 00:29:23,880 Speaker 1: you are being just a media hater or whatever. Juju 516 00:29:23,920 --> 00:29:25,800 Speaker 1: Smith Schuster, the line is not long right now. And 517 00:29:25,840 --> 00:29:28,160 Speaker 1: I think the first impression for a lot of these 518 00:29:28,240 --> 00:29:30,040 Speaker 1: gms is like, I don't know if I need all that. 519 00:29:30,080 --> 00:29:32,200 Speaker 1: It seems like a lot even though he's a good player, 520 00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:34,000 Speaker 1: he's a great kid, and he's twenty four years old. 521 00:29:34,240 --> 00:29:36,800 Speaker 1: So the story from Ian Rapport this morning was that 522 00:29:37,240 --> 00:29:39,400 Speaker 1: the Jets are a possibility, and the Jets affect conversations 523 00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:41,880 Speaker 1: with Juju Smith Schuster. I don't know if it's one 524 00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:43,880 Speaker 1: of those deals where the Jets are on day three 525 00:29:43,960 --> 00:29:46,120 Speaker 1: banging down the door and being like, wait, Juju's available, 526 00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:49,000 Speaker 1: let's go get them. So I think Juju, Galladay, Fuller 527 00:29:49,400 --> 00:29:51,400 Speaker 1: and their agents are a little surprised and might not 528 00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:54,320 Speaker 1: have been expecting this to be the market Eversona got older, 529 00:29:54,320 --> 00:29:58,200 Speaker 1: did they get better? I don't know. I think so, 530 00:29:58,280 --> 00:30:00,600 Speaker 1: and I think it's not because a lot in I 531 00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:02,920 Speaker 1: think the name Rodney Hudson isn't a household name, but 532 00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:04,920 Speaker 1: he's a thirty two year old center that the Raiders 533 00:30:04,920 --> 00:30:07,840 Speaker 1: couldn't afford anymore, and they traded him sixty cents on 534 00:30:07,880 --> 00:30:11,320 Speaker 1: the dollar to the Cardinals, and they know the time 535 00:30:11,360 --> 00:30:14,680 Speaker 1: is now for the Cardinals. Kyler Murray's a running quarterback. 536 00:30:14,840 --> 00:30:17,360 Speaker 1: Kyler Murray is one of these guys that is going 537 00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:19,479 Speaker 1: to get injured time to time if you don't protect him. 538 00:30:19,520 --> 00:30:21,280 Speaker 1: It happened last year in a week seventeen when they 539 00:30:21,320 --> 00:30:23,160 Speaker 1: needed him most, he wasn't available and they had to 540 00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:26,120 Speaker 1: go to a CFL retread as their quarterback. Against the 541 00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:29,840 Speaker 1: Rams and that most win, so Hudson protects him. At 542 00:30:29,840 --> 00:30:33,160 Speaker 1: the very least, they're they're making moves, they're aggressive. JJ Watt. 543 00:30:33,720 --> 00:30:35,640 Speaker 1: I like even the kicker. They wouldn't got Matt Prater, 544 00:30:35,720 --> 00:30:38,280 Speaker 1: who's a reliable kickers and Gonzalez missed a bunch last year. 545 00:30:38,720 --> 00:30:41,800 Speaker 1: I appreciate teams that say, I know salary CAP's not ideal, 546 00:30:42,040 --> 00:30:43,880 Speaker 1: but let's go spend the money and we can make 547 00:30:43,920 --> 00:30:46,000 Speaker 1: no excuses, like let's bring them in. I respect that 548 00:30:46,040 --> 00:30:48,800 Speaker 1: they were a few players away last year they went 549 00:30:48,800 --> 00:30:50,440 Speaker 1: and they at least made the attempts to get them 550 00:30:50,440 --> 00:30:53,800 Speaker 1: that NFC West, though that's a loaded division. Peter Schrager, 551 00:30:53,920 --> 00:30:57,960 Speaker 1: NFL Network Good Morning Football co host, explain to me 552 00:30:58,040 --> 00:31:00,520 Speaker 1: the situation with the Bears in the Seahawks that you 553 00:31:00,560 --> 00:31:03,600 Speaker 1: get the two gms together and you make your offer. 554 00:31:04,120 --> 00:31:05,920 Speaker 1: You see, when you make an offer for a house, 555 00:31:06,200 --> 00:31:09,880 Speaker 1: they counter your offer, and in this case, they just 556 00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:12,320 Speaker 1: listened to the offer, took it back to Pete Carroll 557 00:31:12,400 --> 00:31:15,400 Speaker 1: and then Pete said no, and then that's it. Why 558 00:31:15,440 --> 00:31:19,040 Speaker 1: did they listen to the Bear's offer in the first place. Peter, Yeah, 559 00:31:19,040 --> 00:31:21,480 Speaker 1: so I'm looking at a Billy Ripken, famous card that's 560 00:31:21,480 --> 00:31:24,440 Speaker 1: in front of you. If if if if I was 561 00:31:24,480 --> 00:31:27,520 Speaker 1: sitting here just on my couch or whatever, and you said, 562 00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:31,160 Speaker 1: or your agent said publicly, we would love my Billy 563 00:31:31,240 --> 00:31:33,880 Speaker 1: Ripken card to go to one of four cities, and 564 00:31:34,040 --> 00:31:36,720 Speaker 1: one of them is where Peter Schrager resides. I would 565 00:31:36,760 --> 00:31:39,280 Speaker 1: probably be like, WHOA, Okay, I want that Billy Ripken card. 566 00:31:39,280 --> 00:31:42,560 Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'll call up, I'll inquire the agent. Mark 567 00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:46,520 Speaker 1: Rogers drop this out of nowhere, saying there are gonna 568 00:31:46,560 --> 00:31:48,680 Speaker 1: be four teams that he would wave his no trade 569 00:31:48,680 --> 00:31:51,720 Speaker 1: claws for the Bears never expected Russell Wilson in their plan, 570 00:31:51,840 --> 00:31:54,280 Speaker 1: but once that came out, they were like, let's go, 571 00:31:54,560 --> 00:31:57,000 Speaker 1: let's do it, let's go for it. And they tried, 572 00:31:57,120 --> 00:31:59,320 Speaker 1: they tried really hard. And when they were all together 573 00:31:59,400 --> 00:32:03,040 Speaker 1: out and Fargo, North Dakota last week for Trey Lance's 574 00:32:03,080 --> 00:32:05,520 Speaker 1: pro day, I can tell you there are conversations had 575 00:32:05,560 --> 00:32:07,640 Speaker 1: with Ryan Pace and Matt Aggie from the Bears with 576 00:32:07,720 --> 00:32:11,080 Speaker 1: John Schneider from the Seahawks, and the conversations were made 577 00:32:11,560 --> 00:32:13,880 Speaker 1: and they didn't go anywhere, and Schneider's like, we're not 578 00:32:13,920 --> 00:32:16,840 Speaker 1: trading him. So when he goes on your show, Dan 579 00:32:17,120 --> 00:32:20,640 Speaker 1: and he says comments about and look, Russell Wilson might 580 00:32:20,680 --> 00:32:23,280 Speaker 1: someday be a part of the Peacock family and he 581 00:32:23,400 --> 00:32:26,120 Speaker 1: might be a great ambassador. He doesn't usually come on 582 00:32:26,240 --> 00:32:29,200 Speaker 1: and say anything controversial. We know that when he comes 583 00:32:29,240 --> 00:32:31,960 Speaker 1: out and he says his offensive line, he'd like to 584 00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:34,400 Speaker 1: see more investment on your show and make it public. 585 00:32:35,280 --> 00:32:38,040 Speaker 1: People in Seattle might have been like, wait, what, especially 586 00:32:38,040 --> 00:32:41,080 Speaker 1: that offensive line. So you put these things together. Chicago 587 00:32:41,120 --> 00:32:43,760 Speaker 1: had every right to go and make the most aggressive pitch, 588 00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:45,000 Speaker 1: but at the end of the day, they didn't have 589 00:32:45,040 --> 00:32:48,320 Speaker 1: a quarterback to trade back to Seattle. So Seattle's listening 590 00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:51,240 Speaker 1: and it's okay, you can give us sixteen first round 591 00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:54,560 Speaker 1: picks and Khalil Mack and Roquan Smith and the rights 592 00:32:54,600 --> 00:32:58,239 Speaker 1: to Dick Buckis and Mike Singletary who's playing quarterback next 593 00:32:58,320 --> 00:33:01,400 Speaker 1: year for Seattle. Just didn't make sense. So I get 594 00:33:01,440 --> 00:33:03,880 Speaker 1: criticized today being like, oh, you made a big fuss 595 00:33:03,920 --> 00:33:06,280 Speaker 1: over nothing. Look when the agent comes on the record 596 00:33:06,280 --> 00:33:08,160 Speaker 1: and list four teams, and when the player who usually 597 00:33:08,200 --> 00:33:10,920 Speaker 1: says nothing comes on the Dan Patrick Show and says 598 00:33:10,920 --> 00:33:13,959 Speaker 1: things about his offensive line, there was something. There's something indeed, 599 00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:17,560 Speaker 1: there Oh, no, it's there, absolutely. But the question is, 600 00:33:17,880 --> 00:33:21,120 Speaker 1: why would you listen to the Bears offer unless you 601 00:33:21,160 --> 00:33:25,200 Speaker 1: want to set the market that this is. We turn 602 00:33:25,360 --> 00:33:27,880 Speaker 1: this down, so you you better be ready to go. 603 00:33:28,160 --> 00:33:30,640 Speaker 1: It feels like they have to expand their lists. There 604 00:33:30,640 --> 00:33:34,360 Speaker 1: of possible destinations for Russell if he truly wants out. 605 00:33:34,440 --> 00:33:37,360 Speaker 1: I was told keep an eye on free agency. Will 606 00:33:37,400 --> 00:33:41,360 Speaker 1: they do enough in free agency where Russell Wilson goes? Okay, 607 00:33:41,720 --> 00:33:44,120 Speaker 1: that's at least a step in the right direction. But 608 00:33:44,880 --> 00:33:47,840 Speaker 1: all right, well, Dan, we're three days in and they've 609 00:33:47,880 --> 00:33:52,080 Speaker 1: made a trade for Gabe Jackson from the Raiders, who 610 00:33:52,320 --> 00:33:55,880 Speaker 1: is fine, while Joe Tuoney was just signed to a 611 00:33:55,920 --> 00:33:58,520 Speaker 1: five year, eighty million dollar deal in Kansas City. Rodney 612 00:33:58,600 --> 00:34:01,400 Speaker 1: Hudson was just traded to protect Kyler Murray. And then 613 00:34:01,560 --> 00:34:03,840 Speaker 1: you look at all the other top interior offensive lineman. 614 00:34:03,920 --> 00:34:06,200 Speaker 1: Corey Lindsley was just signed by the chart Like, I 615 00:34:06,400 --> 00:34:09,760 Speaker 1: know that the Cardinals and the Chargers and the Chiefs 616 00:34:09,760 --> 00:34:13,080 Speaker 1: are doing whatever it takes to protect their quarterbacks. I 617 00:34:13,120 --> 00:34:15,279 Speaker 1: don't know. It's only hey, Russell Wilson went public with 618 00:34:15,320 --> 00:34:18,440 Speaker 1: that offensive line talk and all that Seahawks It's almost 619 00:34:18,480 --> 00:34:20,279 Speaker 1: as if Schneider and Carol like, We're not going to 620 00:34:20,360 --> 00:34:23,240 Speaker 1: suddenly rip up our entire team to go and address 621 00:34:23,360 --> 00:34:25,000 Speaker 1: your needs. We're gonna do what we do and we're 622 00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:27,920 Speaker 1: gonna build a football team. I'm fascinated to see how 623 00:34:27,920 --> 00:34:29,680 Speaker 1: it plays out. But to your point, maybe the door 624 00:34:30,120 --> 00:34:32,279 Speaker 1: isn't shut on a trade just as yet. But the 625 00:34:32,320 --> 00:34:36,399 Speaker 1: Bears one rest assured the Bears made every possible offer 626 00:34:36,440 --> 00:34:39,000 Speaker 1: they possibly they could even think of. Seahawks weren't making 627 00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:41,359 Speaker 1: a trade with the Bears. No, Yeah, we always look 628 00:34:41,360 --> 00:34:43,879 Speaker 1: at a trade from one angle. We always go Guy 629 00:34:44,239 --> 00:34:46,359 Speaker 1: Russ going to the Bears, and then I'll go, well 630 00:34:46,400 --> 00:34:49,840 Speaker 1: what's Seattle getting? Well, are getting draft picks. Those aren't 631 00:34:49,920 --> 00:34:53,840 Speaker 1: high draft picks. You're getting Khalil Mack and a Kem Hicks. Okay, 632 00:34:53,880 --> 00:34:58,120 Speaker 1: how does that address their quarterbacking situation? Now? If you said, hey, 633 00:34:58,360 --> 00:35:01,480 Speaker 1: the Jets are giving you the second pick overall, yep, 634 00:35:01,840 --> 00:35:05,239 Speaker 1: and okay, you got my attention, because now I take 635 00:35:05,320 --> 00:35:07,359 Speaker 1: Zach Wilson if I believe in him. Now I got 636 00:35:07,360 --> 00:35:10,720 Speaker 1: my quarterback rookie contract. Now I'm good to go Miami. 637 00:35:11,400 --> 00:35:14,239 Speaker 1: I get Tua and I'm going to get the third 638 00:35:14,239 --> 00:35:17,439 Speaker 1: pick overall and I'm gonna get Davante Smith if I want, 639 00:35:17,680 --> 00:35:21,160 Speaker 1: all right, I like that the Bears didn't have anything 640 00:35:21,200 --> 00:35:25,919 Speaker 1: to offer that would intrigue Seattle from an offensive perspective there, 641 00:35:26,800 --> 00:35:28,600 Speaker 1: And the worst thing that the Bears had going for 642 00:35:28,600 --> 00:35:30,759 Speaker 1: them is that they had this mediocre season and made 643 00:35:30,760 --> 00:35:32,560 Speaker 1: the playoffs. So they have the twentieth Yeah, you know, 644 00:35:32,640 --> 00:35:35,520 Speaker 1: it's like, it's not like they get any accolades or 645 00:35:35,520 --> 00:35:37,000 Speaker 1: any paths on the back for going to the wild 646 00:35:37,040 --> 00:35:38,880 Speaker 1: card round and getting blown out by Drew Brees and 647 00:35:38,920 --> 00:35:41,400 Speaker 1: the Saints. I also will go one step further here. 648 00:35:41,440 --> 00:35:45,400 Speaker 1: It's like, you know, the Panthers have the eighth pick, 649 00:35:45,840 --> 00:35:49,520 Speaker 1: the Eagles have the sixth pick. There are teams that 650 00:35:49,640 --> 00:35:52,200 Speaker 1: make it really, you know, interesting for a trade for 651 00:35:52,239 --> 00:35:54,279 Speaker 1: a quarterback that can maybe be the third team in 652 00:35:54,880 --> 00:35:57,000 Speaker 1: But to your point about what are we getting back, 653 00:35:57,560 --> 00:36:00,200 Speaker 1: you'd be amazed, and maybe you wouldn't because you'd deal 654 00:36:00,239 --> 00:36:03,719 Speaker 1: with this for thirty years. But I'm putting together trade 655 00:36:03,760 --> 00:36:06,200 Speaker 1: offers and possibilities on Good Morning Football, the show on 656 00:36:06,280 --> 00:36:08,160 Speaker 1: NFL Network, and I'm like, all right, So say the 657 00:36:08,239 --> 00:36:12,320 Speaker 1: Jets offer the number two pick, and they offer Sam Darnold, 658 00:36:12,360 --> 00:36:15,160 Speaker 1: and they offer Quinnan Williams. The amount of Jets fans 659 00:36:15,200 --> 00:36:16,880 Speaker 1: that jump down your throat like we're not giving up 660 00:36:16,920 --> 00:36:19,640 Speaker 1: Quinnan Williams, Yes, you will, like we're not giving up, 661 00:36:19,920 --> 00:36:21,880 Speaker 1: We're gonna Quinton Williams. No. And then you do the 662 00:36:21,920 --> 00:36:23,760 Speaker 1: Dolphins and you're like, all right, you give up Twah, 663 00:36:24,480 --> 00:36:26,960 Speaker 1: and you also give up Davante Parker, and then you 664 00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:29,279 Speaker 1: also give up Christian Wilkins. We're not giving up all that. 665 00:36:29,960 --> 00:36:32,799 Speaker 1: The same thing comes from the other side of it, 666 00:36:32,920 --> 00:36:35,600 Speaker 1: the fans, you know, they don't want to give up 667 00:36:35,640 --> 00:36:38,680 Speaker 1: the thing. So trades are really harder for quarterbacks. You 668 00:36:38,840 --> 00:36:41,799 Speaker 1: gotta give up everything to get one of these guys. Yeah, 669 00:36:41,840 --> 00:36:43,719 Speaker 1: and that's where if I'm Russ, I don't want to 670 00:36:43,719 --> 00:36:45,640 Speaker 1: go to a Bears team that just gave up all 671 00:36:45,680 --> 00:36:49,279 Speaker 1: of this to get me. Like that doesn't make any 672 00:36:49,320 --> 00:36:51,279 Speaker 1: sense because you're gonna go and you're gonna go to 673 00:36:51,320 --> 00:36:53,520 Speaker 1: a team that's inferior. Hey, I get to have a 674 00:36:53,640 --> 00:36:56,080 Speaker 1: say in what we do, and I like Matt and 675 00:36:56,160 --> 00:36:58,920 Speaker 1: Naggie's play calling. That ain't enough for me to go 676 00:36:58,960 --> 00:37:00,399 Speaker 1: to the Bears. I want to go to a team 677 00:37:00,400 --> 00:37:02,560 Speaker 1: where we're actually going to be good and not give 678 00:37:02,680 --> 00:37:06,680 Speaker 1: up as much as you know we should Deshaun Watson. 679 00:37:07,200 --> 00:37:10,480 Speaker 1: With what's going on now, it's gonna be harder to 680 00:37:10,480 --> 00:37:13,160 Speaker 1: trade him. But do you feel like the Texans now 681 00:37:13,520 --> 00:37:17,200 Speaker 1: are more likely to trade him given what's gone on. Well, 682 00:37:17,239 --> 00:37:20,879 Speaker 1: let's see how that all plays out. It's ugly, but 683 00:37:21,320 --> 00:37:24,319 Speaker 1: his stock, if you will, almost feel like I'm talking 684 00:37:24,320 --> 00:37:26,680 Speaker 1: about the two topics in the same You know, breath 685 00:37:26,760 --> 00:37:29,840 Speaker 1: is almost minimizing what's been accused, but the stock certainly 686 00:37:29,920 --> 00:37:31,360 Speaker 1: isn't as high as it was a week ago, and 687 00:37:31,400 --> 00:37:34,520 Speaker 1: you know, you double down on it. David Culley, the 688 00:37:34,880 --> 00:37:37,040 Speaker 1: new head coach, was doing a lot of media last week, 689 00:37:37,320 --> 00:37:41,000 Speaker 1: comes across as a really likable guy, a really open 690 00:37:41,080 --> 00:37:43,560 Speaker 1: and honest guy, and it was very vulnerable. I was like, 691 00:37:43,600 --> 00:37:45,799 Speaker 1: I want a coach DeShawn Watson, I really do. I 692 00:37:45,840 --> 00:37:48,040 Speaker 1: just wish he would you know, it didn't say it, 693 00:37:48,040 --> 00:37:49,759 Speaker 1: but in so many words like I wish he would 694 00:37:49,760 --> 00:37:51,880 Speaker 1: give us a shot. And so you start putting these 695 00:37:51,880 --> 00:37:54,000 Speaker 1: things together and you're like, all right, so they gave 696 00:37:54,040 --> 00:37:58,680 Speaker 1: you one hundred and fifty million dollars last year. You know, 697 00:37:58,840 --> 00:38:01,920 Speaker 1: you guys won four games. I don't know what happened 698 00:38:01,920 --> 00:38:03,520 Speaker 1: with what made you so upset, but the coach is 699 00:38:03,520 --> 00:38:05,600 Speaker 1: saying he wants to have you here, Like, I don't know, 700 00:38:05,640 --> 00:38:07,520 Speaker 1: at some point the tide was going to turn against 701 00:38:07,520 --> 00:38:09,840 Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson in this conversation and be like, maybe you 702 00:38:09,920 --> 00:38:12,200 Speaker 1: do give that team a shot, maybe you'd be part 703 00:38:12,200 --> 00:38:14,000 Speaker 1: of the solution as a post part of the problem. 704 00:38:14,040 --> 00:38:15,239 Speaker 1: And they know they do have a new coach and 705 00:38:15,280 --> 00:38:17,839 Speaker 1: new GM maybe you consider that. So now I think 706 00:38:17,840 --> 00:38:20,200 Speaker 1: it's really interesting the way that the conversations about the 707 00:38:20,239 --> 00:38:23,040 Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson trade go. And I'm not sure if he's 708 00:38:23,080 --> 00:38:26,480 Speaker 1: as uh, you know this, whatever it is, there's a 709 00:38:26,480 --> 00:38:30,040 Speaker 1: trade asset if this if this story continues to take 710 00:38:30,040 --> 00:38:31,800 Speaker 1: on the next levels of where it goes, because it 711 00:38:31,880 --> 00:38:34,040 Speaker 1: certainly makes it a lot more complicated than it was 712 00:38:34,040 --> 00:38:36,040 Speaker 1: when it was just Hey, here's a twenty five year 713 00:38:36,040 --> 00:38:38,520 Speaker 1: old superstar on the on the Houston Texans. He wants 714 00:38:38,520 --> 00:38:43,239 Speaker 1: to trade. Yeah, And if I'm offering something now now 715 00:38:43,280 --> 00:38:46,400 Speaker 1: I'm going to probably reduce that. You know, it feels 716 00:38:46,400 --> 00:38:49,080 Speaker 1: like that the value has been reduced here. And look, 717 00:38:49,080 --> 00:38:51,480 Speaker 1: I don't mean to diminish what is happening off the field, 718 00:38:51,719 --> 00:38:54,200 Speaker 1: but my job is to talk about the sports angle 719 00:38:54,239 --> 00:38:57,560 Speaker 1: of this, and that's that's exactly right. And for a 720 00:38:57,600 --> 00:39:00,719 Speaker 1: lot of these gms, whereas they they might have been like, 721 00:39:00,760 --> 00:39:03,520 Speaker 1: oh my god, Gung Ho DeShawn Watson. Now maybe they 722 00:39:03,560 --> 00:39:05,960 Speaker 1: see all these reports, they see it's still trending on Twitter, 723 00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:08,399 Speaker 1: they read all the legal papers, and they're like, hey, look, 724 00:39:08,400 --> 00:39:11,040 Speaker 1: I don't have to make this trade. I maybe it's 725 00:39:11,080 --> 00:39:13,680 Speaker 1: just not worth all of my adjita and maybe it's 726 00:39:13,680 --> 00:39:15,439 Speaker 1: not worth me getting involved in this. And that's someone 727 00:39:15,480 --> 00:39:21,279 Speaker 1: else's problem, not mine. It's Gardner Minshew gonna land someplace interesting. Hey, 728 00:39:21,320 --> 00:39:24,040 Speaker 1: you know, it's funny there are trade talks going on, 729 00:39:24,080 --> 00:39:26,640 Speaker 1: and maybe Minshew's got a second chapter. But I don't 730 00:39:26,640 --> 00:39:28,799 Speaker 1: know if he's gonna be a starting quarterback in the 731 00:39:28,920 --> 00:39:31,680 Speaker 1: NFL this year. What I love seeing is Mike Glennon. 732 00:39:32,600 --> 00:39:34,640 Speaker 1: You know, he's signed a new deal. It's like, all right, 733 00:39:35,480 --> 00:39:38,359 Speaker 1: guys have lives. They have nine lives. If you could 734 00:39:38,400 --> 00:39:40,320 Speaker 1: be a backup quarterback and a likable dude in the 735 00:39:40,360 --> 00:39:42,640 Speaker 1: locker room, like there's a place for you if you're 736 00:39:42,680 --> 00:39:46,279 Speaker 1: willing to be that number two. Chase Daniel another guy, 737 00:39:46,560 --> 00:39:50,680 Speaker 1: really wealthy. He might be one of the greatest preseason 738 00:39:50,800 --> 00:39:53,800 Speaker 1: quarterbacks of all time, always delivers in like the second 739 00:39:53,800 --> 00:39:56,879 Speaker 1: half of that third game, second half of that third 740 00:39:56,880 --> 00:39:59,359 Speaker 1: preseason game, Chase Daniel will put up number, You'll light 741 00:39:59,400 --> 00:40:01,719 Speaker 1: it up, he will. We needed, we needed to do 742 00:40:01,840 --> 00:40:07,759 Speaker 1: fantasy football preseason. We should. I remember remember Cleo Lemon, Yeah, 743 00:40:08,200 --> 00:40:10,439 Speaker 1: the Chargers, not the Dolphins. When he's on the Charger 744 00:40:11,160 --> 00:40:14,160 Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter, I'm like, Cleo Lemon, love it. 745 00:40:15,960 --> 00:40:19,040 Speaker 1: Good luck with your bracket there. I'm going real, real 746 00:40:19,120 --> 00:40:21,920 Speaker 1: big on North Texas because my son likes the nickname, 747 00:40:21,960 --> 00:40:25,719 Speaker 1: the mean Green, So let's go North Texas. Yeah. They 748 00:40:25,800 --> 00:40:28,960 Speaker 1: the different strategies, you know, not nice there. You're either 749 00:40:29,040 --> 00:40:31,879 Speaker 1: first place or last place.
