bit of a rough twenty four hours?

Speaker 4 (02:10):
Shannon Sharp, Dude, what are you going on IG live for?
Speaker 7 (02:14):
Dude?
Speaker 5 (02:14):
Like said he got hack then then he wasn't hack,
Like yeah not and understand like, first of all, what
do you have your your apps like that open where
you like, what are you doing where you would hit
that button to go live while you're doing that that
act like that? Don't you got to ask yourself the
(02:36):
questions how exactly? Why exactly? Because I feel like if
I'm giving an honest opinion on it, because this is sports,
so I'm gonna give a take on this, all right,
if I'm being one hundred percent honest. Shannon Sharp is
like he had a an assistant and the assistant is
was in the media and and was known through his
(02:59):
connection with Carrie Rhodes, who's one of our guys on
on on the station, And there were allegations connected to
this particular stylus that that that we'll call it, that's
what he's referenced as as a stylus. So I think
(03:19):
there was a lot of a lot of allegations getting
out there or thoughts or judgments of or or guesses
of what Shannon Sharp's preference was, you know, in that category.
And I just wonder if that was an intentional leak
(03:40):
to get that up off of him, and and and
if it mattered that much. I just wonder if that,
if that's what it was that and and if that
were the case, is that is that the performance video
that you would want to come out where it doesn't
show show them Okay for all those out there listening,
(04:00):
it's not like it's showing him getting busy, but it's
the audio of it, and it just I don't know, man,
it's like comedy relief to me, Like I thought it
was funny the way because his commentary almost is the
same way he is in his moments that it's got
(04:25):
I'll never be able to listen to his commentary and
save everyget because it's like he's.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
Going, let me ask you this, well, Skip Bayles's have
a take on this.
Speaker 5 (04:33):
No, why not? I don't think so, because I don't
think so. I don't think so. But all I know.
Speaker 7 (04:44):
They're having at it.
Speaker 5 (04:45):
They haven't at it, they're having that.
Speaker 7 (04:50):
I just listen. I don't know how that happens.
Speaker 5 (04:53):
I'm sorry that man has too many resources and too
much going on around him where you would accident dentally
slip up and go live and have that on live
while you're doing it. I just feel like that this
was a stunt, you know what. Somebody brought up with
a publicity stunt. You know, somebody brought up That is
kind of a fair point.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
Paul Pierce lost his job at ESPN because there was
a picture of him, yes, and a video of him
party with strippers at a poker party.
Speaker 7 (05:24):
He was outing at his house private party.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
Yeah, so there was a video and he lost his
job because of it. I'm not calling for anybody's job,
but I never will because that sucks.
Speaker 5 (05:35):
But you're saying there's probably going to be a hypocrisy
that exists here. Oh yeah, like what because I think
he becomes more famous off of this. I don't think
it's I mean, I don't think this takes away from him,
especially that part where.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
He was like like like I don't I'm I whatever
whatever his whatever his performance was. I mean, I couldn't
care less. I just wonder, like, what's the blowback? No
pun intended going to be for sharp when it comes
to all this, when it comes to all this stuff,
(06:07):
I just that's.
Speaker 7 (06:08):
What I want, no pun intended.
Speaker 4 (06:09):
I just wonder like, what is you know, how how
is this gonna like.
Speaker 5 (06:13):
To see a definite blow black packed the way that
man ground.
Speaker 7 (06:19):
That was a slip. She that was that was a slip.
I didn't mean black, but blow black, I mean blow back. Okay,
the l got in there, that's all that was. I
don't know.
Speaker 4 (06:32):
When we're all trying to figure this thing out.
Speaker 7 (06:34):
I just I'm just saying, how does this happen?
Speaker 4 (06:38):
I didn't know.
Speaker 5 (06:39):
I just saw I could see how you could get
caught on film and get caught on in a picture
with strippers.
Speaker 7 (06:47):
I could see that. Yeah, how do you go live? Yeah?
Speaker 5 (06:50):
I just on on on I g and and you
haven't at it? How do you go live?
Speaker 7 (06:57):
I don't know, it's weird.
Speaker 5 (07:00):
I just I feel like there's something more. There's something
more to this, man, it feels like there is there's
something more to this. This was like, this was plotted,
This was planned out. He wanted people to hear him
talking to her, man. He wanted people to hear him
say her name. He wanted he wanted y'all to hear
him growl and and and and basically go go animal
(07:22):
style on them all four on him. He wanted y'all
to hear how how real it gets with with him here.
Speaker 4 (07:27):
Well, here's the part I understand.
Speaker 5 (07:28):
And I don't have a dog in this fight. I'm
not This is not me attacking Shannon Sharp at all.
This is just me said, looking at what took place
and us talking about it because it's in the world
of sports that s was wow.
Speaker 7 (07:43):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
And And also if this was intent and I'm not
saying it was intentional, it had liked Okay, If it was,
why held it? Not Like Shannon Sharp is thriving right now,
like he is having a hell of a run, you
know post you know undisputed with skip bay lists and
how that whole thing is.
Speaker 5 (08:03):
Let me ask you this. Let me ask you this
because I know exactly where you're going, like, why you
do this? You already are on top. Let me ask
you this, Does this hurt his brand? Like in cancel culture?
Can cancel culture come for him over this?
Speaker 7 (08:17):
No?
Speaker 5 (08:17):
What they come for him over this? With his level
of fame and popularity right now? You know what it's this?
Did it made him more of a sex symbol? Well,
I mean, if he was one to begin with, which
I think some people would say he is, it probably
made it, Probably took his cloud up a little bit more.
Because if I'm looking at it, what's egregious about this? Well,
I don't look this ain't Diddy and meek Mill like
(08:40):
this ain't like no audio like that like where you like,
oh ass like you weren't.
Speaker 7 (08:45):
I listened to it and I was not offended. I
was amused.
Speaker 5 (08:50):
And how many people listened to it and were amused
and not offended it?
Speaker 1 (08:54):
And I think that's where majority of this falls. But
I do wonder, like what you're right? You bring up
a great point. Paul Pierce lost his job over the
actions of taking taking a video and acting like doing
what he was doing, which strippers in there. And I'm
not part of any sort of cancel culture. Anywhere and
never happened. I think some of that stuff is ridiculous.
(09:16):
I think we take it too far in the way
we punish people and hold you know, they want to
like rake them over the coals and then go back
and run them over again. Like I'm just not that's
not me. But I do wonder will there be any
sort of repercussions, Yeah, like based on this, which like
I couldn't care less, like whatever, like this this is
(09:37):
his thing. He made a mistake or it was intentional,
whatever you want to do. It's just interesting because that's
a guy who's having a hell of a run right now.
Why the need to do that if it was but
you know.
Speaker 5 (09:48):
I just don't see how, Like it's amazing to think
that he could be in a situation where he actually
lose his job over that.
Speaker 7 (09:56):
I don't think.
Speaker 5 (09:57):
So it's crazy to think that should With that being said,
it was him, you could tell it was him, but
you couldn't see. So how does that work? How does
that work? I mean, was he doing some voice over work?
I don't know, you know what I mean? Like, how
does this work?
Speaker 7 (10:14):
I don't know?
Speaker 5 (10:15):
How do you how do you measure? And this and
judge this. If you're an exec over at ESPN, how
does this work? What are we supposed to do? Should
we act like nothing happened at all? Should we act
like something happened? And if we're acting like something happened,
what do we do? What do you do in this situation?
Speaker 7 (10:31):
Here?
Speaker 1 (10:32):
Here's here's where you're going to get the most. You're
going to get the most from guys like te O
and Antonio Brown. Like those two guys, like if they
get a hold of something like this, apparently they're going
to go all in on it.
Speaker 7 (10:42):
So so what what's what's ab saying?
Speaker 2 (10:45):
Uh?
Speaker 4 (10:46):
Just you know typical ab Just what's that?
Speaker 7 (10:48):
What does he saying?
Speaker 5 (10:49):
Because typical is could be that's a very very I
mean there's pictures vast spectrum.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
Pictures of uh, you know, people and maybe compromise situations.
Speaker 7 (10:58):
Oh that's that's what I was eating at.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
You know, that's Antonio Brown. He's also the guy who
coined the hashtag c T E ESPN. So you know,
for what it's worth, Like, that's who, uh, that's who
he's hearing from.
Speaker 7 (11:11):
So how do you filled me out on that? You
know saying? He started blocked him on on x or whatever.
Speaker 5 (11:21):
He blocked him, he blocked and t O posted the
picture of him blocking him.
Speaker 7 (11:28):
I didn't know him.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
I didn't know him to be It's interesting because like
one of the claims is that Shannon Sharp is not
the most technically sound guy when it comes to social media,
but he knows.
Speaker 7 (11:37):
Where the block button is at dang.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
But no, I'm just saying like that's like, you know,
there's just you're hearing like all different sorts of reports
that are out there.
Speaker 7 (11:44):
But I mean, listen, they do.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
What you gotta do. His business is his business that
somehow became.
Speaker 5 (11:51):
Real, you know, like that it's not crazy easy to
just but butt dow or accidentally dow into a lot.
It's not easy. I'm just telling you. It ain't like
it's not like butt Dill in a phone call, like
you got to hit like you got you got like
go to the screen, you got to hit live like
(12:12):
it's like you know what I mean, Like right here.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
Which by the way, his podcast club it's great, Like
he's like he's I'm telling you.
Speaker 5 (12:22):
He's got another one too, that's doing well with the
one with Ocho.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
Yeah, he's doing he's doing phenomenal. So hopefully nobody is
like calling for jobs or anything like that. Listen, mistake
or maybe not a mistake. Whatever he did, he did,
he does great work. Good for him. Here.
Speaker 7 (12:36):
Let me tell you something.
Speaker 5 (12:37):
If you're on the homepage, which I believe this was
on I G right, I know we got to go
to break. But if you're on your homepage on IG,
there's not one button that takes you to being live
immediately out the gate, there's not one button that.
Speaker 7 (12:55):
Takes you to live. And if you actually hit.
Speaker 5 (12:57):
Your your photo photo button, it has post story real
and then live is like right there in the corner.
Right Live is right there in the corner. So now
you have to hit the live button that's right at
the bottom of your screen, right there in the corner,
and it still doesn't take you live. You still got
to hit the live button to go live. So you're
(13:19):
talking a matter of three times he had to hit
a button to get to live for this to happen.
Speaker 7 (13:25):
Something ain't right, Doc. That's all I'm gonna say. Hey, Shannon, listen,
I know you the og and you the old head.
Speaker 5 (13:30):
And you're doing great things. But I'm just saying, just
say what it is, man. You wanted people to know
that you be you'd be caking it up cool. Just
let people know. Don't say it was you know, I
got hacked or anything like that. Just let people know
so that they could just go away, because ain't nobody
going to be mad at him saying that I wanted
to get me something and this was my thing. The
(13:52):
only thing that people gonna get you with that ain't
gonna go nowhere for a long time is the Michelle part.
That was funny is hell? Was that part was like
what he say you my Michelle or my Michelle or whatever.
I don't know what he's said. I listened to it. Junk,
can't be rolling that part and the growling part. I
(14:13):
just don't you know what I mean? Like, what people
do in their own spare time is their business. But
once you made it viral on the lab, now people
got to talk about it. And those two parts of it,
those ain't going nowhere. No, those ain't. The internet will
be undefeated on those two parts of that audio of
Sandy Sharp and Michelle.
Speaker 4 (14:33):
Well, I do know that you know who else is undefeated?
Speaker 7 (14:35):
The NFL. Yeah, how about we.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
Got some numbers for you here before we get to break.
The NFL average twenty one million viewers per game in
Week one, the most watched Week one in history. I know,
in talking to my brother at his his sports bar
and restaurant, it was like maybe one of the bigger
opening Thursday nights they've had in a long time. Week
one there was a mass of success. Like you just
(15:01):
look around. The games weren't even great, Like how many
great games were there in Week one in the NFL.
Like there was a lot of lackluster performances. Troy Aikman
talked about it. The games weren't even there. But I
do think part of it is the build up in
the off season because NFL's king. Even in the off season,
there's always a storyline to where even some crummy games
(15:25):
in Week one are still going to draw the numbers
they are because of the anticipation and because of the conversation.
And I think that is a credit to you know,
not only Roger Goodell, but you know the players, like
everybody involved should kind of take a bow and be like,
you know what, like we have put together a juggernaut
like this is we are the king. We run the
(15:46):
show here. Nobody's even close. And to see the numbers
and the millions upon millions of viewers that are tuning
in on average to watch these games pretty incredible considering
where this league is at now in comparison to some
their leagues that are out there.
Speaker 7 (16:01):
So how about the NFL.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
Two Pros and a Cup of Joe Here on Fox
Sports Radio, LeVar Arrington, Jonas Knox with you. So we're
going to get to the bottom of what is going
to happen with one of the more unique quarterback situations
in the NFL, and that's yours right here on FSR.

Speaker 7 (16:56):
We've all used different tools.
Speaker 8 (16:58):

Speaker 4 (17:17):
But right now.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
Albert Brears in senior NFL reporter, lead content strategist at
the MMQB.
Speaker 4 (17:22):
You can get him on x at Albert Breer. Albert,
what's happened?
Speaker 7 (17:26):
How are we doing?
Speaker 6 (17:27):
Hey?
Speaker 7 (17:27):
What's up?
Speaker 6 (17:28):
Jonas?
Speaker 9 (17:28):
How you doing good? Uh?
Speaker 4 (17:30):
VARs here too. We're trying to make sense.
Speaker 9 (17:33):
Of still like Bracil recovering from Saturday.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
Well, no, no, it went bad to worse. So he
rolled his ankle playing soccer with his daughters. He thinks
he broke something. Yeah, so he's but he's traveling because
he has some stuff to do for a big noon
in Madison.
Speaker 9 (17:50):
So got so, I guess, so, I guess even you
you pro athletes are prone to old man injury, is
the way the rest of us are absolutely.
Speaker 7 (17:58):
Hell yeah, absolute really got to be careful out here, man,
you know.
Speaker 9 (18:03):
Yeah. I mean I've enjured myself like stepping on legos before.
So the pain, Yeah, my son dropped there's no there's
no there's no pain like stepping on your kids toy.
Speaker 7 (18:13):
Oh it's the worst.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
My son dropped a monster truck on my face last
year while I was sleeping, So I had to show
up with a black eye, which is not fun.
Speaker 7 (18:21):
But you know, things happened. You know, they're their kids.
Speaker 9 (18:24):
I remember, I remember I like I was limping for
a week. This was when my kids were a little
younger because I stepped on the train station the Thomas
the tank engine. Yeah, I did not feel good.
Speaker 7 (18:37):
That sucks.
Speaker 1 (18:39):
All right, Well we're trying to make sense of this,
the Deshaun Watson situation. Yeah that sucks. It's like, how
does this play out? Like if this turns out, is
there a way that if he just tries to settle, Like,
is there the potential of the could get out of
(19:00):
this whole thing? Based on this latest incident that Tony
Busby says he tried to get cleared up ten months ago,
but Deshaun Watson and his representatives pushed back on it,
and now here we are like what is your what
do you take away?
Speaker 7 (19:15):
What's your make of this whole situation?
Speaker 9 (19:18):
I mean it's you know, it's interesting because I think
there are two things like that really are at play
for you know, for the league here, for the team here.
And like the first thing is that you know that
this is at this point not a criminal case, right, Like,
so you know, like how do you handle civil versus criminal?
(19:43):
You know, I this is not like related to this
particular situation, but you know, there are always those cases
out there, and we've heard about them where like the
athlete you know has had his name dragged for the
mud and was exonerated, and you know, you like, these
leagues and these teams want to be careful in proceeding
(20:04):
with situations like this because they don't want to incentivize
people like filing civil cases against players.
Speaker 6 (20:10):
Right.
Speaker 9 (20:10):
So that's one piece of it that, like you know,
always I think you know, it has over the last
few years created caution for the league. The other thing
that's created caution for the league in situations like this
is you know, like they've kind of gotten themselves in
trouble jumping in front of the legal process before, right,
so before there's any sort of adjudication of the case,
(20:31):
Like they'll do something and then they wind up with
egg on their face one way or the other, whether
they went too light or too hard. So, you know,
I think the Lea's taken a more cautious approach with
this stuff for those two reasons. You know, I really
at this point is so early in this stuff coming out,
you know that I think, you know, like the league
(20:53):
and a team are still kind of in fact finding mode.
And you know, obviously Deshawn's disclosure to the team is
an important element of this too. So there's just a
lot of moving pieces right now. And you know how
this what this winds up being three or four or
five months down the line, I don't know, you know,
And I think I got to respect the seriousness of
what's being charged here, Like you in charge is probably
(21:15):
the wrong word, like alas here. You know, I think
you want to, you know, treat it with a lot
of seriousness, but I think it's way too early to
have any sort of definitive take. And where it's going.
Speaker 7 (21:28):
It seems like it's a quarterbacks year. Abe.
Speaker 5 (21:31):
I'm trying to decide which quarterback? Question, why do I
want to go to Pittsburgh? Do I do I want
to go to a place like say New York? With
what's going on with Daniel Jones or with Aaron Rodgers.
There's so many different things going on with quarterbacks this year.
(21:52):
Let's let's let's talk about Aaron Rodgers. I guess I'll
choose Aaron Rodgers because there's a relevance here. They're they're
playing a divisional opponent and it's, uh, you know, it's
the Tennessee Titans that they're going to play. I did
not expect them to beat the forty nine ers. However,
(22:13):
I do expect them to beat the Titans. If they
do not beat these Titans. Do you get the feeling
that Aaron Rodgers understands the compromising position he could find
himself in being in the media market that he's in,
because some people don't really understand that, and he's late
(22:34):
in his career. Do you think he has an idea
of how much pressure there is to win this next game,
just this next game?
Speaker 9 (22:43):
Yeah, you know, it's actually interesting what our talked to
him about this about two three weeks ago about playing
in New York and the difference between playing in New
York and playing in Green Bay and you know, the
fish bowl that you live in. And you know, I
really got this since he embraces that part of it
and like he wants that part of it that like
(23:04):
he understands like everybody. I mean, the way he put
it to me is like everyone's on the hot seat
every year in the NFL, and no one's job's ever secure.
And you know, like he he said to me, like
that's how I've always seen it. And you know, is
it more intense in New York maybe, but it's pretty
intense in Green Bay two based on how important they
are in that state. And and so he deals with it,
(23:26):
you know what I mean, Like, and I think he's
been through a lot over the course of his career
where that he can draw and if they were to
go to Owing two that said, I mean, you are right, like, Okay,
So now if you're going to then you're you're coming
back home and you're playing against New England on Thursday
night and you're home opener and now all of a sudden,
you're staring one three in the face and you're in
(23:47):
a standalone game, and you know, the pressure gets amped
up quite a bit. So you know, I it'd be
stupid to call this must win, you know, must win. No, no, no,
like but but yeah, I mean, like I mean, the
Jets on paper look like I think everybody I think
like you said, like, I think everybody accepts the Niners
lost for what it is. But Niners are a wagon,
(24:09):
right and beyond just that, like like Kyle Shanahan knows
that Jets defense like the back of his hand because
that's his old defensive coordinator who's the head coach, right,
So like there's lots of elements there that made that
tough matchup for the Niners. So we can all take
that for what it is. They should be two and
one a week from to day, right or a week
(24:29):
from tomorrow, Like they should wake up on eight in
eight days, they should wake up and be two and one.
And if they aren't, like then I think that there's
you know, like, how does that look?
Speaker 2 (24:39):
Is it a.
Speaker 9 (24:40):
Loss on Sunday and then it went on Thursday or
the other way around. I think this discussion on the
Jets changes quite a bit if they lose either of
these next two games, because they're going to be the
better team in both of those and they I don't
think anybody would argue that they went into that game
in San Francisco. It's a better team. The Niners might
(25:01):
have the best roster in the league. So yeah, it's
totally different Dealers Sunday than it wasn't Monday Night.
Speaker 7 (25:05):
Get him on x AT.
Speaker 1 (25:06):
Albert Breers, senior NFL reporter, lead content strategist at the MMQB,
joining us here on Fox Sports Radio, AB. How real
is the possibility that Russell Wilson never gets the starting
job in Pittsburgh?
Speaker 9 (25:18):
Again, I think it's possible. I I think it's so
much of it, Like I look like, I think there's
support for Justin Fields in the building, and I think
like everybody there genuinely likes Justin Field, and he's done
all the right things, and he's a really good culture
(25:40):
fit for what they are and for what Mike Tomlin's
built there over the last seventeen years. You know, So
there's that. I also think, you know, he showed wasn't perfect,
but he showed he could effectively manage the game. He
showed he could effectively carry out their game plan, which
I know people have these a key charts or whatever
and all of that. Like a big part of their
(26:02):
game plan was avoid the middle of the field because
that's where Jesse Bates is, so you know, work the
sidelines and kind of you know, play it close to
that's we have to protect our young linemen, they're they're
starting a bunch of new linemen and just put our
defense in position to win the game. And he effectively
did that, you know. Plus he was able to manage
(26:23):
the game at the end of the half, at the
end of the game, and so there was a lot
of good stuff there from Justin Fields. He's not he
wasn't a world beater, but like he showed like they
can win with him, you know. So you know, I
think he probably gets another shot to go back out
there on Sunday. You know, we'll see, but it looks
like he's going to play on Sunday, and if he
(26:44):
plays well again, I think that that conversation takes another step.
Speaker 7 (26:47):
Now.
Speaker 9 (26:48):
The question is like, if you decide we're going with
Justin Fields, can you keep Russell Wilson on the roster,
you know, because he's never been a backup before so
and I think that that was part of the reason
why you know, Wilson. Want Wilson won the job in
the first place, was like part of the discussion there
is like, well, it's it would be a lot easier
(27:08):
if things don't go well to go from Wilson to
Fields and the other way around. So you know, there's
some complexity of the situation, but Fields has done enough
to make it a real a real discussion both in
the summer and on Sunday.
Speaker 5 (27:21):
Sticking with quarterbacks, Let's let's stay in AFC North is
I mean that looked as though they captured footage of
Joe Burrows struggling to hold the.
Speaker 7 (27:32):
The water bottle.
Speaker 2 (27:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (27:33):
I don't know how true that is, but I mean
he keeps shaking his hand and trying to figure things
out with his hand. What's going on there? Is there
smoke and fire here? Or is this just being overblown?
Speaker 9 (27:44):
Yeah? I think he's okay. I mean, I I don't know,
like I you know, when I talked to him about it,
you know, I think like part of it and you
know I talked to his coaches about it too, is
like just getting more consistent with it, you know, they
they had to be patient. There wasn't a ton of
precedent for this, you know, with with there was no
precedent with quarterbacks, and generally this is an injury that
(28:07):
you would see the like defensive linemen, you know, So
there was some uncharted territory there and they were really
careful and kind of sequencing him back, you know, in
the spring, in the summer. And one of the things
they found LeVar was that, you know, the ball would
flutter on him a little bit early on, and as
time went on, as he got more reps like that,
(28:29):
those instances became fewer and farther between, right, so like
you might go open the ball fluttering on him, you know,
three times in a practice to you know, the ball
fluttering on him once every other day like whatever that
you know, like however you count those up. That's sort
of the way it happened. And they felt good about
where he was going into the season. Now, as you know,
like doing it in the game is different than doing
(28:51):
it in a practice. So is there some element of
there maybe, But I know that they felt really good
about where he was coming out of the coming coming
out of camp and take takes real patient, measured approach
and bringing him back from the.
Speaker 1 (29:06):
Wrist ab We got about thirty seconds, But I wanted
to ask you how concerning is the Christian McCaffrey injury.
Speaker 9 (29:14):
I mean concerning enough to be careful with it. You know,
I think if Sunday was the NFC Championship Game or
the Super Bowl, he would play. I think anything, like
like anything else, like a cat is something that lingers
and an achilles is something that can be a much
bigger problem if you rush it. And so like I
(29:36):
I think it's manageable, but you know, I think there's
something that they feel like they have to be careful with.
And so as we saw with the way that Jordan
Mason ran on on on on Monday Night, that's a
team that can win different ways. That's good enough and
well rounded enough to win without Christian McCaffrey. They were
(29:58):
really good before he got there a couple years ago,
and so, you know, I it's sort of like I
sort of feel it like the way the Patriots, you state,
managed the first month of the season when Belichick was
there and they really had it rolling, where like the
first month of the season would almost be an extended
preseason and working guys back into the lineup, beginning guys
to full health and building your team for January, and
(30:20):
that's sort of the approach they're taking with McCaffrey right now.
Speaker 7 (30:23):
Get him on x at.

By the way, Antonio Brown, I.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
Listen, whatever he's got going on, he's got going on,
and he uh he's having some fun at the expense
of one Shannon Sharp, who's had you know, a little
bit of a rough twenty four hours?
Speaker 5 (01:34):
Is that rough? Twenty four sunda rough? Tell me what
for him? For someone else? I don't know. I don't

Speaker 6 (01:45):

Speaker 1 (01:52):

Speaker 4 (02:10):
Shannon Sharp, Dude, what are you going on IG live for?
Speaker 7 (02:14):
Dude?
Speaker 5 (02:14):
Like said he got hack then then he wasn't hack,
Like yeah not and understand like, first of all, what
do you have your your apps like that open where
you like, what are you doing where you would hit
that button to go live while you're doing that that
act like that? Don't you got to ask yourself the
(02:36):
questions how exactly? Why exactly? Because I feel like if
I'm giving an honest opinion on it, because this is sports,
so I'm gonna give a take on this, all right,
if I'm being one hundred percent honest. Shannon Sharp is
like he had a an assistant and the assistant is
was in the media and and was known through his
(02:59):
connection with Carrie Rhodes, who's one of our guys on
on on the station, And there were allegations connected to
this particular stylus that that that we'll call it, that's
what he's referenced as as a stylus. So I think
(03:19):
there was a lot of a lot of allegations getting
out there or thoughts or judgments of or or guesses
of what Shannon Sharp's preference was, you know, in that category.
And I just wonder if that was an intentional leak
(03:40):
to get that up off of him, and and and
if it mattered that much. I just wonder if that,
if that's what it was that and and if that
were the case, is that is that the performance video
that you would want to come out where it doesn't
show show them Okay for all those out there listening,
(04:00):
it's not like it's showing him getting busy, but it's
the audio of it, and it just I don't know, man,
it's like comedy relief to me, Like I thought it
was funny the way because his commentary almost is the
same way he is in his moments that it's got
(04:25):
I'll never be able to listen to his commentary and
save everyget because it's like he's.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
Going, let me ask you this, well, Skip Bayles's have
a take on this.
Speaker 5 (04:33):
No, why not? I don't think so, because I don't
think so. I don't think so. But all I know.
Speaker 7 (04:44):
They're having at it.
Speaker 5 (04:45):
They haven't at it, they're having that.
Speaker 7 (04:50):
I just listen. I don't know how that happens.
Speaker 5 (04:53):
I'm sorry that man has too many resources and too
much going on around him where you would accident dentally
slip up and go live and have that on live
while you're doing it. I just feel like that this
was a stunt, you know what. Somebody brought up with
a publicity stunt. You know, somebody brought up That is
kind of a fair point.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
Paul Pierce lost his job at ESPN because there was
a picture of him, yes, and a video of him
party with strippers at a poker party.
Speaker 7 (05:24):
He was outing at his house private party.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
Yeah, so there was a video and he lost his
job because of it. I'm not calling for anybody's job,
but I never will because that sucks.
Speaker 5 (05:35):
But you're saying there's probably going to be a hypocrisy
that exists here. Oh yeah, like what because I think
he becomes more famous off of this. I don't think
it's I mean, I don't think this takes away from him,
especially that part where.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
He was like like like I don't I'm I whatever
whatever his whatever his performance was. I mean, I couldn't
care less. I just wonder, like, what's the blowback? No
pun intended going to be for sharp when it comes
to all this, when it comes to all this stuff,
(06:07):
I just that's.
Speaker 7 (06:08):
What I want, no pun intended.
Speaker 4 (06:09):
I just wonder like, what is you know, how how
is this gonna like.
Speaker 5 (06:13):
To see a definite blow black packed the way that
man ground.
Speaker 7 (06:19):
That was a slip. She that was that was a slip.
I didn't mean black, but blow black, I mean blow back. Okay,
the l got in there, that's all that was. I
don't know.
Speaker 4 (06:32):
When we're all trying to figure this thing out.
Speaker 7 (06:34):
I just I'm just saying, how does this happen?
Speaker 4 (06:38):
I didn't know.
Speaker 5 (06:39):
I just saw I could see how you could get
caught on film and get caught on in a picture
with strippers.
Speaker 7 (06:47):
I could see that. Yeah, how do you go live? Yeah?
Speaker 5 (06:50):
I just on on on I g and and you
haven't at it? How do you go live?
Speaker 7 (06:57):
I don't know, it's weird.
Speaker 5 (07:00):
I just I feel like there's something more. There's something
more to this, man, it feels like there is there's
something more to this. This was like, this was plotted,
This was planned out. He wanted people to hear him
talking to her, man. He wanted people to hear him
say her name. He wanted he wanted y'all to hear
him growl and and and and basically go go animal
(07:22):
style on them all four on him. He wanted y'all
to hear how how real it gets with with him here.
Speaker 4 (07:27):
Well, here's the part I understand.
Speaker 5 (07:28):
And I don't have a dog in this fight. I'm
not This is not me attacking Shannon Sharp at all.
This is just me said, looking at what took place
and us talking about it because it's in the world
of sports that s was wow.
Speaker 7 (07:43):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
And And also if this was intent and I'm not
saying it was intentional, it had liked Okay, If it was,
why held it? Not Like Shannon Sharp is thriving right now,
like he is having a hell of a run, you
know post you know undisputed with skip bay lists and
how that whole thing is.
Speaker 5 (08:03):
Let me ask you this. Let me ask you this
because I know exactly where you're going, like, why you
do this? You already are on top. Let me ask
you this, Does this hurt his brand? Like in cancel culture?
Can cancel culture come for him over this?
Speaker 7 (08:17):
No?
Speaker 5 (08:17):
What they come for him over this? With his level
of fame and popularity right now? You know what it's this?
Did it made him more of a sex symbol? Well,
I mean, if he was one to begin with, which
I think some people would say he is, it probably
made it, Probably took his cloud up a little bit more.
Because if I'm looking at it, what's egregious about this? Well,
I don't look this ain't Diddy and meek Mill like
(08:40):
this ain't like no audio like that like where you like,
oh ass like you weren't.
Speaker 7 (08:45):
I listened to it and I was not offended. I
was amused.
Speaker 5 (08:50):
And how many people listened to it and were amused
and not offended it?
Speaker 1 (08:54):
And I think that's where majority of this falls. But
I do wonder, like what you're right? You bring up
a great point. Paul Pierce lost his job over the
actions of taking taking a video and acting like doing
what he was doing, which strippers in there. And I'm
not part of any sort of cancel culture. Anywhere and
never happened. I think some of that stuff is ridiculous.
(09:16):
I think we take it too far in the way
we punish people and hold you know, they want to
like rake them over the coals and then go back
and run them over again. Like I'm just not that's
not me. But I do wonder will there be any
sort of repercussions, Yeah, like based on this, which like
I couldn't care less, like whatever, like this this is
(09:37):
his thing. He made a mistake or it was intentional,
whatever you want to do. It's just interesting because that's
a guy who's having a hell of a run right now.
Why the need to do that if it was but
you know.
Speaker 5 (09:48):
I just don't see how, Like it's amazing to think
that he could be in a situation where he actually
lose his job over that.
Speaker 7 (09:56):
I don't think.
Speaker 5 (09:57):
So it's crazy to think that should With that being said,
it was him, you could tell it was him, but
you couldn't see. So how does that work? How does
that work? I mean, was he doing some voice over work?
I don't know, you know what I mean? Like, how
does this work?
Speaker 7 (10:14):
I don't know?
Speaker 5 (10:15):
How do you how do you measure? And this and
judge this. If you're an exec over at ESPN, how
does this work? What are we supposed to do? Should
we act like nothing happened at all? Should we act
like something happened? And if we're acting like something happened,
what do we do? What do you do in this situation?
Speaker 7 (10:31):
Here?
Speaker 1 (10:32):
Here's here's where you're going to get the most. You're
going to get the most from guys like te O
and Antonio Brown. Like those two guys, like if they
get a hold of something like this, apparently they're going
to go all in on it.
Speaker 7 (10:42):
So so what what's what's ab saying?
Speaker 2 (10:45):
Uh?
Speaker 4 (10:46):
Just you know typical ab Just what's that?
Speaker 7 (10:48):
What does he saying?
Speaker 5 (10:49):
Because typical is could be that's a very very I
mean there's pictures vast spectrum.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
Pictures of uh, you know, people and maybe compromise situations.
Speaker 7 (10:58):
Oh that's that's what I was eating at.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
You know, that's Antonio Brown. He's also the guy who
coined the hashtag c T E ESPN. So you know,
for what it's worth, Like, that's who, uh, that's who
he's hearing from.
Speaker 7 (11:11):
So how do you filled me out on that? You
know saying? He started blocked him on on x or whatever.
Speaker 5 (11:21):
He blocked him, he blocked and t O posted the
picture of him blocking him.
Speaker 7 (11:28):
I didn't know him.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
I didn't know him to be It's interesting because like
one of the claims is that Shannon Sharp is not
the most technically sound guy when it comes to social media,
but he knows.
Speaker 7 (11:37):
Where the block button is at dang.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
But no, I'm just saying like that's like, you know,
there's just you're hearing like all different sorts of reports
that are out there.
Speaker 7 (11:44):
But I mean, listen, they do.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
What you gotta do. His business is his business that
somehow became.
Speaker 5 (11:51):
Real, you know, like that it's not crazy easy to
just but butt dow or accidentally dow into a lot.
It's not easy. I'm just telling you. It ain't like
it's not like butt Dill in a phone call, like
you got to hit like you got you got like
go to the screen, you got to hit live like
(12:12):
it's like you know what I mean, Like right here.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
Which by the way, his podcast club it's great, Like
he's like he's I'm telling you.
Speaker 5 (12:22):
He's got another one too, that's doing well with the
one with Ocho.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
Yeah, he's doing he's doing phenomenal. So hopefully nobody is
like calling for jobs or anything like that. Listen, mistake
or maybe not a mistake. Whatever he did, he did,
he does great work. Good for him. Here.
Speaker 7 (12:36):
Let me tell you something.
Speaker 5 (12:37):
If you're on the homepage, which I believe this was
on I G right, I know we got to go
to break. But if you're on your homepage on IG,
there's not one button that takes you to being live
immediately out the gate, there's not one button that.
Speaker 7 (12:55):
Takes you to live. And if you actually hit.
Speaker 5 (12:57):
Your your photo photo button, it has post story real
and then live is like right there in the corner.
Right Live is right there in the corner. So now
you have to hit the live button that's right at
the bottom of your screen, right there in the corner,
and it still doesn't take you live. You still got
to hit the live button to go live. So you're
(13:19):
talking a matter of three times he had to hit
a button to get to live for this to happen.
Speaker 7 (13:25):
Something ain't right, Doc. That's all I'm gonna say. Hey, Shannon, listen,
I know you the og and you the old head.
Speaker 5 (13:30):
And you're doing great things. But I'm just saying, just
say what it is, man. You wanted people to know
that you be you'd be caking it up cool. Just
let people know. Don't say it was you know, I
got hacked or anything like that. Just let people know
so that they could just go away, because ain't nobody
going to be mad at him saying that I wanted
to get me something and this was my thing. The
(13:52):
only thing that people gonna get you with that ain't
gonna go nowhere for a long time is the Michelle part.
That was funny is hell? Was that part was like
what he say you my Michelle or my Michelle or whatever.
I don't know what he's said. I listened to it. Junk,
can't be rolling that part and the growling part. I
(14:13):
just don't you know what I mean? Like, what people
do in their own spare time is their business. But
once you made it viral on the lab, now people
got to talk about it. And those two parts of it,
those ain't going nowhere. No, those ain't. The internet will
be undefeated on those two parts of that audio of
Sandy Sharp and Michelle.
Speaker 4 (14:33):
Well, I do know that you know who else is undefeated?
Speaker 7 (14:35):
The NFL. Yeah, how about we.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
Got some numbers for you here before we get to break.
The NFL average twenty one million viewers per game in
Week one, the most watched Week one in history. I know,
in talking to my brother at his his sports bar
and restaurant, it was like maybe one of the bigger
opening Thursday nights they've had in a long time. Week
one there was a mass of success. Like you just
(15:01):
look around. The games weren't even great, Like how many
great games were there in Week one in the NFL.
Like there was a lot of lackluster performances. Troy Aikman
talked about it. The games weren't even there. But I
do think part of it is the build up in
the off season because NFL's king. Even in the off season,
there's always a storyline to where even some crummy games
(15:25):
in Week one are still going to draw the numbers
they are because of the anticipation and because of the conversation.
And I think that is a credit to you know,
not only Roger Goodell, but you know the players, like
everybody involved should kind of take a bow and be like,
you know what, like we have put together a juggernaut
like this is we are the king. We run the
(15:46):
show here. Nobody's even close. And to see the numbers
and the millions upon millions of viewers that are tuning
in on average to watch these games pretty incredible considering
where this league is at now in comparison to some
their leagues that are out there.
Speaker 7 (16:01):
So how about the NFL.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
Two Pros and a Cup of Joe Here on Fox

Speaker 4 (17:17):
But right now.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
Albert Brears in senior NFL reporter, lead content strategist at
the MMQB.
Speaker 4 (17:22):
You can get him on x at Albert Breer. Albert,
what's happened?
Speaker 7 (17:26):
How are we doing?
Speaker 6 (17:27):
Hey?
Speaker 7 (17:27):
What's up?
Speaker 6 (17:28):
Jonas?
Speaker 9 (17:28):
How you doing good? Uh?
Speaker 4 (17:30):
VARs here too. We're trying to make sense.
Speaker 9 (17:33):
Of still like Bracil recovering from Saturday.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
Well, no, no, it went bad to worse. So he
rolled his ankle playing soccer with his daughters. He thinks
he broke something. Yeah, so he's but he's traveling because
he has some stuff to do for a big noon
in Madison.
Speaker 9 (17:50):
So got so, I guess, so, I guess even you
you pro athletes are prone to old man injury, is
the way the rest of us are absolutely.
Speaker 7 (17:58):
Hell yeah, absolute really got to be careful out here, man,
you know.
Speaker 9 (18:03):
Yeah. I mean I've enjured myself like stepping on legos before.
So the pain, Yeah, my son dropped there's no there's
no there's no pain like stepping on your kids toy.
Speaker 7 (18:13):
Oh it's the worst.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
My son dropped a monster truck on my face last
year while I was sleeping, So I had to show
up with a black eye, which is not fun.
Speaker 7 (18:21):
But you know, things happened. You know, they're their kids.
Speaker 9 (18:24):
I remember, I remember I like I was limping for
a week. This was when my kids were a little
younger because I stepped on the train station the Thomas
the tank engine. Yeah, I did not feel good.
Speaker 7 (18:37):
That sucks.
Speaker 1 (18:39):
All right, Well we're trying to make sense of this,
the Deshaun Watson situation. Yeah that sucks. It's like, how
does this play out? Like if this turns out, is
there a way that if he just tries to settle, Like,
is there the potential of the could get out of
(19:00):
this whole thing? Based on this latest incident that Tony
Busby says he tried to get cleared up ten months ago,
but Deshaun Watson and his representatives pushed back on it,
and now here we are like what is your what
do you take away?
Speaker 7 (19:15):
What's your make of this whole situation?
Speaker 9 (19:18):
I mean it's you know, it's interesting because I think
there are two things like that really are at play
for you know, for the league here, for the team here.
And like the first thing is that you know that
this is at this point not a criminal case, right, Like,
so you know, like how do you handle civil versus criminal?
(19:43):
You know, I this is not like related to this
particular situation, but you know, there are always those cases
out there, and we've heard about them where like the
athlete you know has had his name dragged for the
mud and was exonerated, and you know, you like, these
leagues and these teams want to be careful in proceeding
(20:04):
with situations like this because they don't want to incentivize
people like filing civil cases against players.
Speaker 6 (20:10):
Right.
Speaker 9 (20:10):
So that's one piece of it that, like you know,
always I think you know, it has over the last
few years created caution for the league. The other thing
that's created caution for the league in situations like this
is you know, like they've kind of gotten themselves in
trouble jumping in front of the legal process before, right,
so before there's any sort of adjudication of the case,
(20:31):
Like they'll do something and then they wind up with
egg on their face one way or the other, whether
they went too light or too hard. So, you know,
I think the Lea's taken a more cautious approach with
this stuff for those two reasons. You know, I really
at this point is so early in this stuff coming out,
you know that I think, you know, like the league
(20:53):
and a team are still kind of in fact finding mode.
And you know, obviously Deshawn's disclosure to the team is
an important element of this too. So there's just a
lot of moving pieces right now. And you know how
this what this winds up being three or four or
five months down the line, I don't know, you know,
And I think I got to respect the seriousness of
what's being charged here, Like you in charge is probably
(21:15):
the wrong word, like alas here. You know, I think
you want to, you know, treat it with a lot
of seriousness, but I think it's way too early to
have any sort of definitive take. And where it's going.
Speaker 7 (21:28):
It seems like it's a quarterbacks year. Abe.
Speaker 5 (21:31):
I'm trying to decide which quarterback? Question, why do I
want to go to Pittsburgh? Do I do I want
to go to a place like say New York? With
what's going on with Daniel Jones or with Aaron Rodgers.
There's so many different things going on with quarterbacks this year.
(21:52):
Let's let's let's talk about Aaron Rodgers. I guess I'll
choose Aaron Rodgers because there's a relevance here. They're they're
playing a divisional opponent and it's, uh, you know, it's
the Tennessee Titans that they're going to play. I did
not expect them to beat the forty nine ers. However,
(22:13):
I do expect them to beat the Titans. If they
do not beat these Titans. Do you get the feeling
that Aaron Rodgers understands the compromising position he could find
himself in being in the media market that he's in,
because some people don't really understand that, and he's late
(22:34):
in his career. Do you think he has an idea
of how much pressure there is to win this next game,
just this next game?
Speaker 9 (22:43):
Yeah, you know, it's actually interesting what our talked to
him about this about two three weeks ago about playing
in New York and the difference between playing in New
York and playing in Green Bay and you know, the
fish bowl that you live in. And you know, I
really got this since he embraces that part of it
and like he wants that part of it that like
(23:04):
he understands like everybody. I mean, the way he put
it to me is like everyone's on the hot seat
every year in the NFL, and no one's job's ever secure.
And you know, like he he said to me, like
that's how I've always seen it. And you know, is
it more intense in New York maybe, but it's pretty
intense in Green Bay two based on how important they
are in that state. And and so he deals with it,
(23:26):
you know what I mean, Like, and I think he's
been through a lot over the course of his career
where that he can draw and if they were to
go to Owing two that said, I mean, you are right, like, Okay,
So now if you're going to then you're you're coming
back home and you're playing against New England on Thursday
night and you're home opener and now all of a sudden,
you're staring one three in the face and you're in
(23:47):
a standalone game, and you know, the pressure gets amped
up quite a bit. So you know, I it'd be
stupid to call this must win, you know, must win. No, no, no,
like but but yeah, I mean, like I mean, the
Jets on paper look like I think everybody I think
like you said, like, I think everybody accepts the Niners
lost for what it is. But Niners are a wagon,
(24:09):
right and beyond just that, like like Kyle Shanahan knows
that Jets defense like the back of his hand because
that's his old defensive coordinator who's the head coach, right,
So like there's lots of elements there that made that
tough matchup for the Niners. So we can all take
that for what it is. They should be two and
one a week from to day, right or a week
(24:29):
from tomorrow, Like they should wake up on eight in
eight days, they should wake up and be two and one.
And if they aren't, like then I think that there's
you know, like, how does that look?
Speaker 2 (24:39):
Is it a.
Speaker 9 (24:40):
Loss on Sunday and then it went on Thursday or
the other way around. I think this discussion on the
Jets changes quite a bit if they lose either of
these next two games, because they're going to be the
better team in both of those and they I don't
think anybody would argue that they went into that game
in San Francisco. It's a better team. The Niners might
(25:01):
have the best roster in the league. So yeah, it's
totally different Dealers Sunday than it wasn't Monday Night.
Speaker 7 (25:05):
Get him on x AT.
Speaker 1 (25:06):
Albert Breers, senior NFL reporter, lead content strategist at the MMQB,
joining us here on Fox Sports Radio, AB. How real
is the possibility that Russell Wilson never gets the starting
job in Pittsburgh?
Speaker 9 (25:18):
Again, I think it's possible. I I think it's so
much of it, Like I look like, I think there's
support for Justin Fields in the building, and I think
like everybody there genuinely likes Justin Field, and he's done
all the right things, and he's a really good culture
(25:40):
fit for what they are and for what Mike Tomlin's
built there over the last seventeen years. You know, So
there's that. I also think, you know, he showed wasn't perfect,
but he showed he could effectively manage the game. He
showed he could effectively carry out their game plan, which
I know people have these a key charts or whatever
and all of that. Like a big part of their
(26:02):
game plan was avoid the middle of the field because
that's where Jesse Bates is, so you know, work the
sidelines and kind of you know, play it close to
that's we have to protect our young linemen, they're they're
starting a bunch of new linemen and just put our
defense in position to win the game. And he effectively
did that, you know. Plus he was able to manage
(26:23):
the game at the end of the half, at the
end of the game, and so there was a lot
of good stuff there from Justin Fields. He's not he
wasn't a world beater, but like he showed like they
can win with him, you know. So you know, I
think he probably gets another shot to go back out
there on Sunday. You know, we'll see, but it looks
like he's going to play on Sunday, and if he
(26:44):
plays well again, I think that that conversation takes another step.
Speaker 7 (26:47):
Now.
Speaker 9 (26:48):
The question is like, if you decide we're going with
Justin Fields, can you keep Russell Wilson on the roster,
you know, because he's never been a backup before so
and I think that that was part of the reason
why you know, Wilson. Want Wilson won the job in
the first place, was like part of the discussion there
is like, well, it's it would be a lot easier
(27:08):
if things don't go well to go from Wilson to
Fields and the other way around. So you know, there's
some complexity of the situation, but Fields has done enough
to make it a real a real discussion both in
the summer and on Sunday.
Speaker 5 (27:21):
Sticking with quarterbacks, Let's let's stay in AFC North is
I mean that looked as though they captured footage of
Joe Burrows struggling to hold the.
Speaker 7 (27:32):
The water bottle.
Speaker 2 (27:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (27:33):
I don't know how true that is, but I mean
he keeps shaking his hand and trying to figure things
out with his hand. What's going on there? Is there
smoke and fire here? Or is this just being overblown?
Speaker 9 (27:44):
Yeah? I think he's okay. I mean, I I don't know,
like I you know, when I talked to him about it,
you know, I think like part of it and you
know I talked to his coaches about it too, is
like just getting more consistent with it, you know, they
they had to be patient. There wasn't a ton of
precedent for this, you know, with with there was no
precedent with quarterbacks, and generally this is an injury that
(28:07):
you would see the like defensive linemen, you know, So
there was some uncharted territory there and they were really
careful and kind of sequencing him back, you know, in
the spring, in the summer. And one of the things
they found LeVar was that, you know, the ball would
flutter on him a little bit early on, and as
time went on, as he got more reps like that,
(28:29):
those instances became fewer and farther between, right, so like
you might go open the ball fluttering on him, you know,
three times in a practice to you know, the ball
fluttering on him once every other day like whatever that
you know, like however you count those up. That's sort
of the way it happened. And they felt good about
where he was going into the season. Now, as you know,
like doing it in the game is different than doing
(28:51):
it in a practice. So is there some element of
there maybe, But I know that they felt really good
about where he was coming out of the coming coming
out of camp and take takes real patient, measured approach
and bringing him back from the.
Speaker 1 (29:06):
Wrist ab We got about thirty seconds, But I wanted
to ask you how concerning is the Christian McCaffrey injury.
Speaker 9 (29:14):
I mean concerning enough to be careful with it. You know,
I think if Sunday was the NFC Championship Game or
the Super Bowl, he would play. I think anything, like
like anything else, like a cat is something that lingers
and an achilles is something that can be a much
bigger problem if you rush it. And so like I
(29:36):
I think it's manageable, but you know, I think there's
something that they feel like they have to be careful with.
And so as we saw with the way that Jordan
Mason ran on on on on Monday Night, that's a
team that can win different ways. That's good enough and
well rounded enough to win without Christian McCaffrey. They were
(29:58):
really good before he got there a couple years ago,
and so, you know, I it's sort of like I
sort of feel it like the way the Patriots, you state,
managed the first month of the season when Belichick was
there and they really had it rolling, where like the
first month of the season would almost be an extended
preseason and working guys back into the lineup, beginning guys
to full health and building your team for January, and
(30:20):
that's sort of the approach they're taking with McCaffrey right now.
Speaker 7 (30:23):
Get him on x at.
