Speaker 1 (00:03):
Thanks to Doug Garrett for joining us a little earlier.
We're going to talk about shad Or Sanders coming up
in just a bit Janness his potential locations via trade
because it looks like his days are dumbered in Milwaukee,
that there won't be any future days for him. And
we'll also talk about this the finds that happened today
for the Atlanta d C and their club. But Paul

(00:26):
Feinbaum called out Quinn yours today saying that he squandered
five million dollars in money by not going into the
portal and by deciding to go into the NFL draft.
And I'm going to let Michael kind of give us
the details of this here in.

Speaker 2 (00:44):
Just a second.

Speaker 1 (00:45):
But it is not the responsibility of anyone to tell
college athletes what they're supposed to do in regards.

Speaker 2 (00:55):
To making or not making money.

Speaker 1 (00:58):
And most of us would not turn down on the
money that is being offered by a lot of the NFL,
a lot of the nil collectives that are going around.
And JJ was on with us yesterday or Monday, and
I've talked to you about the things that have happened
at UTSA where players are being tampered with players are

(01:19):
being illegally approached, and they're getting direct messages that say,
if you get in the portal income here, we'll pay
you X. And that X number has at least one
more zero behind it than what UTSA can afford to
pay pretty much anyone. We saw Tate Sandel leave UTSA
to go to OU, and my guess is I would
bet he didn't go for less than fifty thousand dollars.

(01:41):
It may have been around that number, but I don't
know what he got, and I don't really care what
he got. Good for Tate, especially if he wants to
kick one year in college and go try the NFL
and he does well in the SEC, maybe he's got
a little bit better spotlight, And if he doesn't, then
he's got a fifty thousand dollars start on whatever he's doing.
Grudge no one for taking money, but the players' associations

(02:04):
in the NFL as well, especially in the Inmates League baseball,
because there's no salary cap. But the players' associations are
always trying to get every single dollar they can out
of ownership, and they want the players to take max money,
especially in baseball where there's no cap. It's harder to
do that in the NFL, NHL, and NBA where there is.

(02:24):
But I go back to the Albert Pooholz deal of
twelve fifteen years ago. He wanted to stay in Saint
Louis for two hundred and fifteen million, and the union
made him go to California because it was forty one
million dollars more, and they wanted to get every dollar
they could out of whatever ownership group that they could get,
and that's always the goal. There is no union in

(02:46):
college football, and there's no one telling Quinn Yours, Okay,
you need to stay in college and drain some collective
out of all their money in order to get so
that everybody else gets more, and we get more and
more and more. And if you want to go to
the NFL, too bad, that can wait. There's no one
doing that at the college level. And I'm sure Quinn

(03:06):
Yours could have gotten several million dollars to go play
at another for another team. If he wanted to turn
true turncoat and go to OU, he probably could have
gotten a big check to go there. I'm sure that
that Oregon and and that staff would have looked at him.
I'm sure the big ten schools would have looked at
him because he's a really, really good college player. How

(03:26):
that's going to manifest into the pros is way too
much to be determined.

Speaker 2 (03:30):
But we're we're waiting to see what.

Speaker 1 (03:34):
We're waiting to see what happens when he goes to
the pros and if he ever gets on the field
at Miami or with another team. But I don't know
where Paul Finbaum is coming out talk about what's the
what's the quote from Finebaum today on on what Quinn
yours is doing and why he's so why he thinks
he made such a terrible decision.

Speaker 3 (03:52):
So the quote was is that he was quoted as
saying that he that he.

Speaker 2 (03:57):
Reference to Quinn Ewers, that he let his ego get.

Speaker 3 (04:00):
In the way of, you know, going to the draft
instead of making money in the portal, which I'm just
I look at it from this perspective, Quinn you Weers
is like Sam Ellinger, you know he sam Ellinger from day.

Speaker 2 (04:16):
One, He's better than sam Elinger.

Speaker 3 (04:18):
No, No, I'm talking about from the aspect of from
day one. When he came out of the mother's womb,
he was already singing Texas Fight bleeding burnt orange.

Speaker 2 (04:27):
Quinn Quinn made.

Speaker 3 (04:31):
He made the mistake he originally because I remember, remember
he originally committed to Texas and then when the nil
stuff started to happen, it wasn't legal here yet in Texas,
so he went to Ohio State. Ohio State wound up
having I forget what quarterback it was, Shane Off the
top of your head, do you remember who it was?

Speaker 2 (04:52):
JT. Daniels, j T Daniels. So he didn't beat out
J T.

Speaker 3 (04:55):
Daniels and then decided to say, you know what, I
made a mistake.

Speaker 2 (04:59):
I'm gonna go back home. He wanted to be a longhorn.

Speaker 3 (05:03):
He didn't want to have another university's colors touch his skin.

Speaker 2 (05:09):
What oh darn that? That is so wrong with that.

Speaker 1 (05:12):
There's nothing wrong with that, and I understand, I understand that.
Here's the other thing that and I talked about this
on Monday because I was hearing stories on Fox on
Saturday that the shoud Dour Sanders representation was calling teams saying,
don't draft my guy. We're going to be an undrafted
free agent, and if we don't get the deal that
we want, we're going to go.

Speaker 2 (05:32):
Back to college.

Speaker 1 (05:33):
And we're going to sue the NC double A to
let us be reinstated because we never played in the NFL,
and we know the NC double A caves on every
time a lawsuit comes down the line. So they felt
like they were going to be compelled to do that,
and so but then Shoudour got picked in the fifth round,
and now that he'll he'll be a Brown and we'll
go from there. I don't care what Quinn yours does,

(05:54):
and whether it's Paul Finebaum or the three of us
in this in this building, I don't care. That's none
of our business what he chooses to do. This isn't
professional sports yet, even though they're being paid as pros.
There is no union where the union is trying to
squeeze every dollar out of management that they possibly can get.
This is about a player who's twenty two years old.

(06:15):
This decided I don't want to do the college thing anymore.
It's time for me to see what I can do
in the pros. He he got allegedly a million five
to go to Ohio State, and he got allegedly around
four million to go to Texas. So if he's got
any kind of financial help whatsoever, even after taxes.

Speaker 2 (06:34):
My guess is is his nest.

Speaker 1 (06:36):
Egg is two three, two and a half three million dollars,
and because he is Longhorned Legend, he can probably get
a job doing pretty much anything he wants to do
the day he decides he doesn't want to play football anymore,
assuming that he even needs a job, and as a
seventh round pick, he'll get the league minimum if he
makes the roster, and if he ends up replacing Tua

(06:57):
at some point he could become the next rock Per
and be in line for a forty million dollar a
year deal. And he's got about four years of life,
four to five years of the rest of his life
to determine the future of his life, and whatever he
makes in the NFL, if he doesn't spend it extravagantly,
he's gonna have no problem saving most of that money

(07:18):
and then he can go live his life, whether it's
you know, Longhorn Legend working for some company in Austin,
or going back to Dallas and doing something there, or
being an NFL guy or going on TV. I don't
think it matters what he does. Yeah, another five million
would be nice, but you're gonna in order to get
it you're gonna have to play another year of football
in a place that you don't necessarily want to play

(07:40):
at the collegiate level.

Speaker 3 (07:41):
Yeah, and here here's the full quote that he was
that he said, and he said it on McElroy in
klubliic kublic, cublic, kublic in the morning. And this is
where I see the not the SEC glasses on. This
is where I see the Alabama side of Paul Feinbaum.

Speaker 2 (08:04):
Excuse me.

Speaker 3 (08:04):
So he was quoted as saying, he says, quote, it's
a cautionary tale that you probably ought to get really
good advice.

Speaker 2 (08:11):
Listen.

Speaker 3 (08:11):
As someone who saw Quinnyewers a lot this past year,
he just wasn't that great. Everyone knows that I walked
around the Cotton Bowl at halftime of the Ohio State game,
and I can't tell you how many Texas fans yelled
at me, and when I walked over to say hello,
they said, quote, why is this guy still playing quarterback?

Speaker 2 (08:30):
End quote quote And by the way, that was the.

Speaker 3 (08:33):
Team that came within a play or two of making
the national championship, So you have to be smart. He
just let his ego get in the way and he
made a terrible decision He would not have been at Texas.
We all know that they didn't want him anymore. He
would have been somewhere else like Carson Beck, making a
lot of money, having a good time, and maybe working

(08:54):
on his skills as opposed to being humiliated the way
he was.

Speaker 2 (08:58):
End quote, take your rimsen tied goggles off, Paul, fineball.

Speaker 1 (09:04):
Well he's all SEC, and it's not just Alabama. He's
all about the SEC.

Speaker 2 (09:08):
Alabama.

Speaker 1 (09:09):
Well he is Bama, Paul. He's a Nick Saban more
than in Alabama.

Speaker 2 (09:16):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (09:16):
Yeah, And we're going to see how Alabama fairs going
forward and they're going to have some other It's not
Nick Saban at the ship anymore.

Speaker 3 (09:25):
Now.

Speaker 2 (09:25):
He just butt hurt because Texas and Queen Will.

Speaker 1 (09:30):
He wasn't again, he wasn't going to go to Probably
wasn't going to go to Alabama anyway. If heres what's
going to stay in college? The top place for him
to go the would either been to USC or to Oregon.
And I'm sure let me put it to you in
these terms, and I think you'll understand it if you
saw his uh his draft headquarters on game night. That

(09:52):
doesn't necessarily resonate California Oregon. Yeah, it's a different demo,
if you know what I mean.

Speaker 2 (09:57):
They would have walked in there.

Speaker 3 (09:58):
The California people walked in there and been like, oh,
you remember the movie ace Ventura.

Speaker 2 (10:04):
I know what it was, I didn't watch it.

Speaker 3 (10:05):
Okay, Well, there's a scene in there, it's either the
first one or second one, where he goes and talks
to this guy and it's his trophy room and there's
nothing but heads everywhere of all of the game and
he's just like ash Ventura is like freaking out. Yeah,
that's what a California person would have done, or with the.

Speaker 2 (10:21):
T Rex or an Oregon person too.

Speaker 1 (10:25):
But it's but he could have gone and played with
will Stein as the OC there or Lincoln Riley in California.
Those were the rumored places for him to go. There
was also the room he could go play with Belichick
in North Carolina, and he just said, you know what,
if I'm going to leave Texas, then give me an
NFL contract. Let's I've done all I can do in college.
Let's see what I can do at the next level.

Speaker 2 (10:46):
And he is.

Speaker 1 (10:47):
He is very much in the Sam Eliger, Colt McCoy
realm right now, what am I better than those guys.
I think he's in the best body can be because
I think Zach Wilson's average at best. I think Quinn
you were as beat him out for the number two spot.
And if he's QB two, we know at some point
two is not going to play this year, most likely
because of another concussion. And when that happens, he gets

(11:10):
a chance to see if he can lead the team.
And sometimes if the if the injury is significant enough
to keep the starter out, then you got to you
move forward from there. I think he did the right
thing that his college career was over. He's got a
couple of million dollars in the bank. Let's go see
what the rest of my life looks like.

Speaker 3 (11:27):
Yeah, and the only reason, and this is every fan,
not just Texas fan, but this is every fan football
fan to the extent. When your quarterback, whether it's Tom
Brady or Zach Wilson, when they start playing bad, who's
the most popular person on the team at that point?

Speaker 2 (11:46):
It's the backup quarterback. Absolutely, And if the backup quarterback.

Speaker 3 (11:50):
Is not Golden Jesus right now with the last name
Manning on the back, if it's Charlie Wright, who I
believe is the third string quarterback.

Speaker 2 (11:58):
I'm probably wrong, or it was Malik Murphy.

Speaker 3 (12:02):
Are you are we really sitting here saying that Texas
fans are going to be like, yeah, we want that
guy to.

Speaker 1 (12:07):
Play, well, we want Manning to play because his last
name is Manning exactly.

Speaker 2 (12:10):
That's why every Texas.

Speaker 1 (12:11):
Fan wants Manning in the game, and even Steve Sarkiz
and it's Manning's turn. It's time for you to go
to the pros, or it's time for you to transfer,
whatever you do, I don't care. But Arch is the quarterback,
and there's a lot of people out there that are going,
all right, Arch is the number one pick in the
twenty twenty six draft, which you're not going to come out,
and there's a good chance that he's going to stay.
And there I think it's fifty to fifty whether Manning

(12:33):
comes out or stays. Maybe fifty five to forty five
that he stays. I think he enjoys his college life.
But if Texas makes a huge run this year, if
Texas is even as far as the the final four
of football, whether they get any further than that, and
he's the consensus number one overall pick, and that team
that he goes to has a fighting chance of being

(12:54):
a halfway decent with him at quarterback. I think he
may decide to come out early. But he doesn't have
to because his last name is Manning, and they all
have lots of cash, and he can always and he's
probably got his own cash, and he's just got an
eight million dollar deal from Panini to do his autograph stuff.
He doesn't have to work forever if he doesn't want to.
He can make the If he doesn't like who the

(13:16):
number one pick is or who may draft him, he
can wait a year. He may love being around the
college's life. He'll get a degree if that's ever important
to him. Sometimes people just want a degree to say
they got one. And so all the options there on
the table. But at least for one year, Arch Manning
is the quarterback in Austin, and it wouldn't surprise me
that at some point we get him playing quarterback for

(13:41):
the Miami Dolphins. Yeah, all right, should our Sanders has
been a hot topic this week. Some more thoughts on
what happened with him in some basketball discussion coming forward
in the Indie Everage show on the Ticket
