last night as they're able to pick up a win,
so it's now one all in that one in the
Texans Sean make history second round up pick receiver Jaydon
(00:20):
Higgins A fully guaranteed for your deal. I used to have,
you know, a buddy of mine that I worked with
that you know, was in this business too, and he
used to get just so drawn off sides by the
term fully guaranteed. He's like, it's it's a completely redundant phrase.
If it's guaranteed, it's guaranteed, there's no fully it's not
(00:41):
like you know, hey, we're you know, I triple dog
dare you? Which you know you can't go back on
that if you get triple dog dared or is it
barnyard dog dared?
Speaker 2 (00:49):
Triple dog Okay, triple dog dared. Yeah, it's fully guaranteed.
Uh well is it guaranteed? Yeah? As if are you?
I'm hey, listen, let me be totally honest with you
instead of just honest. You don't ast let me be
totally honest. That's a good point meeting you lied to
me all the other timee shit.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
Yeah, I gotta be honest with you.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
Are you always kind, honest, honest and totally honest means
somehow just like when somebody says they gave one hundred
and ten percent, Yeah, if you're honest, isn't that total.
I'm assuming when you're honest that you're totally honest, right, sure,
But I mean you don't go to somebody. Let me
be a serious, you have a serious Those things like
(01:32):
this make me laugh my ass off. Dad. Let me
be partially honest with you, Okay, just partially.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
I mean in a way you would be being honest
with me because you're giving you're giving me.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
The preface and.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
You're you're at least setting it up that right, it's
gonna be half truth. So then it's on me at
that point, so I kind of decipher, Yeah, which one
is like the truth and which one is so.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
But basically so, in the process of being partially honest, yeah,
i'd actually being totally honest, right because I've told you
to look out for the kid. Yeah, the half, the
half of it's gonna be a line in right, Okay,
so you just zip through it. But let me be
totally honest with you for a second. Well what shot? Yeah,
(02:22):
because I like the other time it was only eighty percent.
But I'm gonna be a hundred percent totally honest with
you totally. Is your contract full, fully guaranteed, guaranteed? Yeah?
Well what does what does that mean? Yeah, well it's
guaranteed up until a point. Yeah, so can you be
totally guaranteed fully? But it's gotta be fully guaranteed? Yeah, exactly. Now,
(02:45):
as you said, don't bury the lead. He's the second
round picket to fully guaranteed contract. That's the key. Yeah,
which is good. Good on his agent, Good on him.
But let me be totally honest with you, Dan, please,
But your buddy's right. What's the difference between guaranteed and
fully guaranteed? Some of the things we do, like, it's
(03:06):
a fact now that I sit here and thinking about saying, hey, man,
let's think it's guaranteed. Right, then your next question, asked.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
Me fully, I mean, I guess you could go the
complete you can go the complete opposite direction here, where
you know, hey, it's partially guaranteed. Well, then that's just
a contract, right, because I mean in that pretty much
you know there's escalators and everything for everything.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
I mean, yeah, so partially guaranteed would be like saying,
let me be semi like partially honest, that's it. Yeah, Okay,
so I know that I got to sift through what
parts of the contract aren't guaranteed, right, got it? Okay?
Now yeah, oh man, that that makes me laugh this morning.
Just the stupidity of it makes me laugh.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
Well, I mean because it almost kind of feels like
this phenomenon in football because it's football is the only
one because they're the ones that you know have the
most truth.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
Now, Baseball, basketball, when you said my contract's guaranteed, you
don't have to say fully now especially amazing, right, because
it is fully guaranteed. Yeah, the ones it's that's why
it's I mean, in baseball and basketball and everywhere else,
and football is the only one where you get your
brains beat is well, you got a guaranteed deal. Yeah, yeah,
what do you say like that? It's like, oh, so
(04:15):
it's not fully guaranteed, right? Yeah? What a what a.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
Misuse of the phrase. Right, this game, this game is
hard enough. The world still it's a hey, you know,
after you your brains beat in when you're in that
sixteenth game, if you could reach a thousand yards, well
then we'll really kick in the sweetener for you.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
Or you could be like five throws or five plays,
shy of a bonus and Cooper rush and then not
allow him to get at the end of the season
and then he ends up somewhere else. Right, you know,
you get that close, play him the rest of the place.
Don't pull him out or do him a solid. And so, dude,
you were close, We could have played you with getting
another guy some work. We're paying you anyway, like you
(04:55):
don't do that to somebody.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
Well there, Yeah, I mean that's that's the dirty side
of it. But the it was also where I think
was it Saquon that pulled himself when he had a
chance to go for Dickerson's record this year because I
think that Siriani was gonna play him if he wanted
to play.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
Yeah, just it was just it wasn't within the the
uh what's the word I'm looking that not the gentleman part,
but the part of the game. He would have known
that they were just going for the record, right. I
think that. I think Barkley's approach was, you know, what
if it fits within the scale of the game and
not getting hurt and all that, and what a wise
move because you you know, it just he didn't want
(05:33):
to take away from what was, you know, and I
get it, you know, I get it. It just goes
to show you what a I don't think it adds.
I mean, I think it's a lot of respect for Eric,
you know, Dickerson as well, R and guys that came
before him, But I don't think that that's the reason
he didn't do it. I think it comes out, hey,
it's not within the framework of the game. We're not
going to force this, which I have a lot of
(05:53):
respect for. I've always had respect for that kid. But man,
it seems like every movie makes there's something more to
like about him. He just a good dude.
