That's right, that's a CBS sports radio and you are locked into the JR sport brief show, do you live from the rocket mortgage Studios when you need cash out of your home in a simple way to get it rocket can you hang out here with you for the next three hours. Thank you to every body who tuned in to our number one if you want to listen to every minute if you want to listen to every second. You can always listen on the free Odyssey at eight you DAC why you can hit rewind you can go back to a particular segment you can take the show with you anywhere. Thank you. Obviously you can listen on your local CBS sports radio affiliate shut off all my truckers. My folks and the cars in the webs on the trucks on the road.

People listening on Sirius XM channel 158 and in every body every body listening on a smart speaker is what I do when I'm in my house on about such nothing. I just I just I call out the robot's name on my call Siri or Michael whatever I may: I just say hey play CBS sports radio and boom there is salsa taxi.

There is anyway we know the big story for tonight, and that's what we took a look at in our number one we looked at the Sean Watson his 11 game suspension, no pay $5 million fine.

He has to undergo counseling, behavioral experts will look at and evaluate who he is. He asked with tenderness and then he can get back to playing football, you want to know when he's going to be eligible to play. Week 13 against the team that traded him. The Houston Texans and the Sean Watson after the suspension, he decided to talk to the media today and what he say he answered quite a few questions but at the same time, he didn't necessarily come across as endearing or heartfelt, or acknowledging that what it's taken place over the past year and 1/2.

One of the things he was asked was why it took you until last week to really issue an apology. Listen to this I apologize beforehand, I think the second time I spoke to you guys. I should apologize, but I think for some people.

They didn't may register as a as I was apologizing and I just want to clarify and I was apologize.

All women but I was offended about the situation is definitely a tough situation. Okay well let's let's take a step further. Sean Watson also made it clear today in his press conference that just because I settled with the majority of these women basically all of them except for one.

I do nothing. I'm still looking forward to clear my name and so when he was pressed and asked why the hell are you apologizing.

If you feel you didn't do anything wrong. This was his response for everyone that was affected about the situation there was a lot of people demonstrated apologize to all women, so anybody that was affected even yourself everything apologize to everyone that was affected about this whole situation. All all women and everyone get you to the reporter. If you are affected you to a blanket statement is pretty out there it's all the hassle and family Jimmy and D, who decided to trade for him and not just trade for him. They went the extra mile to secure his services to the counter move competition out the way because this man was likely going to come home here to Atlanta be a falcon, but they said I don't know whether to trade for him and all you by the way, willing to give you more money guaranteed than anybody who's ever played the game looking to get you $230 million while he changed his mind and he is sent me to Cleveland. Now go. They said that they met him months ago and that they they believe he is remorseful and that he's changing and that all of this stuff it's over now that we know what the final suspension is not six games, not an entire season. 11 games they were asked today why the hell do you think this guy is remorseful, especially given what you heard him say today. Listen to this around until just day of Jackson pretty well, is that this counseling is getting everything like making progress and when we have seen you could be a lesson that showed up.

That sounds like some BS man was way around him every day. You can be around anybody every day in a professional setting. Let's think about this in the prototypical 95. I will work no damn 9-to-5 job.

The majority of people listening to me right now don't work no damn 9-to-5 job.

I don't care if you work in the next eight hours. I don't care if you are working at a restaurant. I don't care if your office I don't care if you get a chance to work by your damn self care if you work in the studio like me and Shep. You can be around somebody all damn day long in a professional setting. You don't know what the hell they do it when a clock out there. Did he not just show and exemplify how great he isn't having the ultimate franchise attitude of being the ultimate investor for city that he was in Houston with everything he did with black lives matter and everything he did with hurricane Harvey. I'm he was worshiped in that city. He played every body he can't do that at 26 here he understands what happens. I got like that's what they were things I ever heard come out of a donors mouth.

They were they were suckers that you know what they're not suckers that just like a lot of other people there in the business of winning. That's the business in the NFL and when you own the brown so we know this, there is not a history of winning and so they decided to go out and not give a damn which is well within their right quick question for you that will hold on think they brought they brought him in. They don't give a damn because it's about winning over everything and that's what the fans want as well.

It's winning over everything is to be a segment of the fan base.

That's just like I ain't messing with the Browns. No more, but the majority of people will just be like okay this is this is just what it is and that's fine. That's well within their right, it will just never sit well with me. I have no problem and put you this will be very clear. I think what the Sean Watson did is creepy as hell. He may not have been found to be criminal. It might not be criminal, but some of the accusations and sure you know that all 24, 25 to 30 women. Are they all telling us the truth probably not. But does it matter.

This is this is the man is he's done some nasty things here. He's abused his power in the sexual nature that's disgustingly put that there. First of all, second do I believe the man deserves a second chance, pending his punishment yes yes I do is 11 games proper. I have no problem with 11 I would have no issue if he was going all season long when I'm not cool with is how he is decided to approach it by showing no remorse by saying I am apologizing to everyone out there and you know what he doesn't know anybody. A public apology public apologies are to pacify the masses if he deserves where anyone deserves an apology. It's the women who were assaulted and he refuses to even acknowledge that all yeah settled so it is no big deal and you got the Browns.

The Browns didn't give a rats ass just 230 million guaranteed, just so we can go out and win football games. In short, that's their business. What they do when it comes to the NFL ethics out the window and then when you look at the NFL say this people bring up Calvin Ridley and how this clarity in him being suspended for the entire season.

You want to know why because it's about money. That's why that's why this clarity because it's about cash because it can have a more direct influence on the NFL and its games. That's why this clarity on why he was suspended for the entire season. Anything else. Whether you're punching a security guard or a patron at a restaurant or club like Alvin Kammerer or whether you're beating up on your wife or whether you're going out and I don't know just looking for massage therapists in those those other transgressions they don't necessarily have an effect on our bottom line outside of you making us look bad so will leave the rest of that just up for interpretation. That shouldn't be the case, and that is something that the NFL players Association any NFL should really push for in their next collective bargaining agreement when they get to it and I don't know the next 7 to 10 years.

This should be clarity and so there's a lot of nonsense all over the place, but this is what we all know for fact when it comes to the NFL with you're looking at it from a league level what you're looking at it from a team level. No body gives a damn unless it's about women's and losses that set the business is moving towards a $20 million a year business. Just because there they hand them out daisies and an input and people in school and walking old ladies across the street.

No. And this is inevitable when you have a multibillion dollar business and you have so many personalities and names. This is no different than society only differences. This is an entertainment product somebody being a creep asked to fill in the blank right down the block. This somebody line is somebody right around the corner from you. These are human beings that we sit down and watch. These are human beings who own the teams.

The only differences the money and we know this. With money comes power.

If you got a lot of both. You know what you can do just kind of ignore everybody else because at what point are we all just suckers just say I'll root for the Browns. Regardless, all it would've one of the house and scare. They know that monies will come in anyway.

This is an interesting scenario is nobody cares shuffles on your mama man listen when you talk about what Watson did for Houston in terms of totally making that franchise relevant. I know he did not have a great final season in terms of when losses but he was by far one of the five best quarterbacks on planet Earth. This was only at the age of 24 so the it was a great interview you had with Jonathan and in that the theme if it was two through 52 theirs, there may not be a better team. It's the one that is the biggest? And has been for the claimant routes without that being said, with what he has in Stefanski and what he has in terms of the pieces around him when he does get back. Where do you see him being among the hierarchy of great NFL quarterbacks. That's the question I have for you, will he be back to what we are accustomed to seeing from him. Back in 2020 2019 and 2018. At the conclusion of the season.

This is all taken a little bit to get warmed up okay got me for the better part uniquely last year. He's not going to play about three quarters of the season just about it. I don't think I don't think the man's go wake up and lose his talent. I think so taken time to get back into a group so we haven't even gotten to the football aspect of it for the Cleveland Browns are you holding on to Bruce said it's even a hold down the fort.

Are you going to decide to go ahead and bring in Jimmy garrotte below, whether it be of your trade or you wait for him to be released from the 49ers and you know that contract, goes away to a certain degree at Mimi's. These some of the questions with the NFL can have JR what they cannot have the worst nightmare with the Browns are in the playoffs with this John Watson. This particular season asked me asked me in a couple weeks and that that might be a possibility. Let's see, let's see who they coming, that the question is who's going to hold down the fort while DeShawn Watson is no and if he's holding down the fort and you can, ease DeShawn in their efforts, Jimmy garrotte below you just will say hey Jimmy take a backseat in a few Jimmy garrotte below you want to go to the Browns knowing that you gonna ultimately get the boot. Do you want to go out there and can't approve yourself and say hey this is a 10 game audition and sure ominous stand back on the bench but somebody else is going to have to want me I mean is is a lot of possibilities here for the Cleveland Browns but all hell year.

This would be this would be a tricky scenario to have to highlight DeShawn Watson is not with the NFL or anybody's going to want to do, but it it it might be a possibility.

855-2124 CBS. That's 855-2124 CBS listed the phone lines. Dan is calling from New Orleans you're on CBS sports radio. The JR sport ratio.

You are going to very well to go ahead.

There so much I will go back and forth from the beginning of the ill-informed, but the very beginning. I had a lot of question number one I was there. DeShawn Watson supported Outlook no number one God in his corner, giving him the benefit of doubt all a lot of thing. For example, I did know what he was being accused. You got about what maybe 30 different women. I wanted to know exactly what they were accusing him up after only way I can determine whether not I feel 11 game appropriate love again for picking that I need to know what what I'm holding it up again. What exactly do you keep a clear another thing you dwell on local will Dan I can well well I'm not gonna walk you through every instance because I think it would be a little too graphic a are you are you still not clear on some of the things that he did what did something that I can reference that went right information and yes this is yeah that you can you can Google it that mean there were there plenty of admissions from his his lawyer as to what's in a place.

There were plenty of text messages which were shared publicly as to what was said and not said yeah that that that is a that is readily available and not finding that information out would give me okay what will based on based on that. It doesn't sound like you're fully informed, but I do want to give you a chance to speak what what is your just gone around things out you please oil great great friend that I believe your guy is unfilled something frequently happened and I will invent yet. Guilty and that is when he said he will sorry become an Italian man. I would be at anyone in the fall of the accused me of something. Well, I guess he is. I guess ease. I guess he's real test over you know about 2526 women that I guess every one of them was line me that there was there was admissions there. Scott sending text messages go a.m. I'm sorry I didn't mean to make you feel uncomfortable and and I don't care if we gotta go through one through 2:25 AM I sure or certain no, and neither you know, could one or two or three or four just be like a this is not mere for money absolutely. Of course, that's a reality. But I think it's more of a reality hit me at this inside a circumstance we wouldn't be here in this moment. If there wasn't some type of fire. I see the smoke. The smoke as they are. It's dark, it's thick, there's something there. I mean dammit if you still have to think about what might have taken place.

So what did take place or he's innocent hate the guy was found not to be a criminal. Okay, that's fine. Not that is fine but that's that's clear. Just because you were not found to be a criminal doesn't mean that you are not guilty of being a crêpe is that it's it's really that simple.

Byron is calling for Marilyn you're on CBS sports radio. There are Leaders on the radio now bomber go ahead of 31 older Enigma did a really great because is criminal punishment going way beyond the date of the God of the hearing that everything that sometimes you keep quiet and keep the wind out. Open your mouth and remove all doubt his apology would whatever that was really weird I don't know what maybe was the a lot of the times when you export.

You can make it through all but so far as the owners but you said this about the bottom on the square 30 was only 31 job so that you go to big bear.

A statement, no doubt about it that you call us now and yeah 32 long as they care about the bottom line they care about the franchise valuations is a reason that Colin Is not playing football and no people is not because he was a complete scrub or bomb or Boston couldn't even be a backup. It's because that owners felt that he would be a distraction and that he would screw up the money set it so you he's gone but Watson is still there because they know that people are still going to show up in racism and accusations of the country being racist. That makes people uncomfortable sexual assault browser just like a people still show up though, so let's is given a job $239 guaranty speaking to that apology well man. He's just the he's apologizing every body it's a blanket thing I'm like it's more your calls. On the other side, 855-2124 CBS is the JR sport ratio you are listening to the JR sport brief on CBS sports radio you are listening to the JR sport brief on CBS sports radio your credit your profession, your Wonderware personality balance.

In fact, with whatever colors Collingwood also called the Fairlane for Crystal Pearland Texas leisure Coley now with 855-2124 CBS is the JR sport ratio CBS sports radio and obviously DeShawn Watson is dominated the conversation, people giving their thoughts and opinions on on his suspension. What this means in. Let's boil it down. Is anybody surprised though I don't think anybody can walk around and be surprised at how this is played out this kind of par for the course is to be very interesting see how things move along, not of gave my thoughts and opinions that I think the situation is awful and think with the Browns that is awful but not surprising in giving him that 230 guarantee they show that they care more about the bottom line and winning which they are in the business of any accusations 855-2124 CBS is a 552124 CBS before I pick up the phone lines again. I want you to hear one more time on DeShawn Watson and why he's apologizing and who he's apologizing for and listen very carefully. It's not necessarily the accusers for everyone that was affected about the situation there was a lot of that was triggered because all women, so anybody that was affected even yourself everything so apologizing to everyone that was affected about this whole situation. Okay 855-2124 CBS. You can also holler at me at JR sport brief. Winston is here from Sacramento. You're the JR sport ratio JR how you doing man very well. Matt are markedly disappointed in our society and the reason I'm disappointed in our society is when you look at the things that have happened throughout the world bill because Robert Cryer, our president, the double standard that distorted the blade on our country manager Dick you get Bill Cosby vilify Chava vilify the president. He could do what he wanted doing everybody's okay Bill click got vilify the little bit but not too much but good things that are happening Ezekiel when when when Jerry Jones got in trouble and money talk money talk to me if you don't have a whole lot of money you got to be a lot of drop will absolutely well I mean the youth Winston and you've been disappointed in the bothered for a long as time because this just that's just how the world is workable for you, and I've even got here. I don't disagree with your new credit continue to be that way you know it is Eric and it's really really really unfortunate how again when it comes to things that the applicant American man do I mean get You all. Look alike broke police brutality and saying to be mad about that believe in everything that they do the things that were happening to African-American and got kicked out Lee and really, really bad. Large B And when they happen every body. I okay okay but when it happens to average American man is like we we get we get done like they fit for Mike. Hegel well this is a this is no surprise Winston. As I said that's unfortunately in the history books and in the case of common It's not just what he said or what his his message was. It was how he decided to deliver it in their people found more fence with with how he decided to deliver it than his actual message menus: flushing your CBS sports radio. What are your thoughts on DeShawn Watson and many well menus, not their high school from Boise your CBS sports radio.

Our big hair brickwork you regarding tractor all listen man.

My background is all the music how much how much time do you have all that rather God wanted their grandpa.

Voltaire Chava. Now I'm affected you hear about the all the time every day for like the last year and 1/2 working all what the high will the fairy about you know there around him every day you said it perfectly that you can be around somebody every day and still there that you know anybody can have skeletons in their closet. Are you not know about while amending book. Aaron Hernandez. Maple you don't know what going on behind closed doors and that's an extreme example, but you're correct I just don't accept what the household had to say and talk crap you know you're right. It's about the money. That's the bottom line and you Browns translator shop you can put a mascot out there long as he could throw a football calculator shop man Brown Trent, Craig and Matt. Also, I got, I hear you think you consul call Nelson Boise Idaho where I've actually had one of the best steak so that I had in my life. But besides that, yeah, it's Haslam's. They think they don't care they don't care about the bottom line they care about all the mediocre seasons that they've had since they they were resurrected. They care about all the poor quarterback play they care about having a roster that can actually compete for championship, but being able to upgrade at depositions actually go do it that's that's what they care about. That's what all the owners care about the fans care enough to stop spending money. We know the answer you want to know what it is no fans are still going to show up. Still, thereby, a hoodie still going to buy beer still going to show up and show out, and that's all that matters. The money's the JR sport.

We show your CBS will tritium take more your calls. On the other side were also going to talk about the man who is no longer the quarterback for the Cleveland Browns.

Looks like he has officially found a new job almost speaker may feel you are listening to the JR sport brief on CBS sports radio you are listening to the JR sport brief on CBS sports radio only. Figures have come how often Eli Coley now with 855-2124 CBS that's right is the JR sport ratio here with you on CBS sports radio 855-2124 CBS S8552124 CBS a lot of thoughts a lot of opinions on DeShawn Watson suspension 11 games the situation some to get your calls and then we'll get into the man that he has replaced in Cleveland Baker Mayfield to the shock or surprise about say probably no one, it looks like he has secured himself a starting position with the Carolina Panthers. But before we do that, let's go ahead and get to our many callers. Craig is calling from Houston your CBS sports radio not call. I know why I want to talk like they are not. I don't want to sound like that Ballard had been banned or anything, but let again live in and out. Not enough for a baby every you pointed out, most of them very eloquently. One very lame to me that they really didn't talk about it. Limitations on on whether or not, but it can still file a lawsuit on that actually runs until March 2020 .3, and so I'm not sure if you get PR for the NFL to let you get on the field and game 12 and also against the taxing and before the football before the kickoff can be drawn.

There is a lawsuit for the Balkan we kicked off the piano on a date. You game I did not sure if that's a good PR move for Dan.

I thought it did well. Craig you you you can certainly take that position. Anybody can get sued at any time that so I don't think we can live in a world of all this, this, this hammer might drop a mean they're not going to live in the world where let's just give him the boot completely, just in case you know he's he's soon what's your next point.

Well, normal all right right arm ran away. Craig I asked you what your next point. Go ahead how to get Rob even click closet in their per account for laying out the forbidding gate and get on Instagram. Think out. Massage therapy is then there, that and you being called behaviors being called predatory meeting I get think that a year would be much more appropriate and may be maybe 10 or $15 million. When you sort of foundation or something of that nature. I mean I think you need me. Could you pointed out, JR, that he's not apologizing for what he did apologize and how it affected sure and no less will he's taken it a step further and think you correct the call from Houston.

He's just apologizing to everyone who's been affected. And yes, not them. Specifically, and even in that realm is is you and apologize when he comes back is his tone.

His message going to be different.

We dammit we have no idea Ray is going from the wall is your CBS sports radio JR will doubtless ever call her want to get on no… But they and the brown got there about you and what you want Linda Brown because of probably more money whenever I have better poverty. You think that you're with, you know, don't get around money yes yeah they they guaranteed in $230 million more than anybody. That's why you win if you had asked me, that makes the most sense now you know what my writing and that they had all day 11 games now, I know some people might say delegate not sure but printing about yeah well this is still a still a business's man got paid last year. He's paying a fine. He will be paid for the games that he's menaced and he still making 230 no. What was him right outside again beat up in the court of public opinion outside of the branding and in having this kind of Scarlet letter across the not his chest but his four head. Yeah, it's comments off but maybe maybe $230 million is the magic eraser Leon called from Florida your CBS sports radio will so I'm fine. Ironic that so many people are under the assumption that you're truly scared to gain from it financially.

Be automatic. You soon to be genuine. Don't think I'm sorry it's it's a interrupt, but before we go deep deep deep down that whole I will I will assume most people understand that that is not wholly accurate. I think we all understand that that people are dishonest. I think that's the thing I think we all know that about human beings, and in many degrees so I don't I would not agree with what you just said by any stretch of the imagination, but one was not criminally charged back you look very common. Look at all and didn't think it worn that's important right yes that that that you have thought with with different women over a 17 month grant and only 24 of them have been wrong more of them have said that you did not want Leon eyes as I mention this, I don't know what part of the soul you tuned in that. What is it what is it matter how many will know I'm the mom I'm asking if you can answer if you can answer what is it matter no hold on that stop what does it matter if it is five women.

One woman 23. You write what does it matter Mark wanted you decided to jump ship and act how I got going on. Leon Leon, no, no, I think.

I think that is to omit everything that we have learned over the past year and 1/2, you know, people were jumping people were jumping onto that ship the moment that this took place early last year, and if you take a look at the entire picture.

The big picture of things.

What has taken place what DeShawn Watson through his through his counsel has admitted we can all run around and claim all my God, this is a conspiracy theory to tear him down but if you look at every you hold on Leon Leon on weight you listening to me. Thank you. If you look at everything that has taken place over the past year and 1/2. If you pay close attention to what has been admitted to what is on the public record what and this is on them, asking the same question, what is it matter we know what the facts are.

We know what the admission has been to go ahead and start dillydallying in well we don't know how many women will line all well this is interesting time and asked what take what what took place. These are the facts. Everything that you have no detail over it doesn't matter. This is what's taken place and for what we know is fact is pretty disgusting and why you were going with good behavior that you have no buyer what I'm not at all what you Leon used your repeating yourself and I will repeat myself again listen to me very carefully.

You ready this is I think you'll understand this just because he was not criminally charged does not mean he was not guilty of being, but shark does not mean he was no slapping listen to me, it doesn't mean that he was not guilty of abusing his power and celebrity doesn't mean he was not guilty of being creeped. The two are mutually exclusive. They don't have one thing to do with the other and that is why he spoke to hundreds or at least I don't eat Leon I have to hit the brakes soon you understand what I just said the right you know it's not none.

I know it's not my personal feelings and I'll tell you this, and I have no issue with saying this to you. If you have a complete understanding of what has taken place is not personal feeling. This is a matter of fact okay nominal stop listening. Leon Leon Leon and I want to listen to Leon. I don't want to hang up on you.

I want to hang up on you, but I want you to hear very clearly if you can actually look at what has taken place in you as a human being you.

Leon don't find issue with some of the things that took place and what he did and I would venture to say that you have your own damn problems, and you know I speak English. You hear it from my mouth. It came out in words I said in English. I will speak sign language I should probably learn but I don't speak English, go read everything that's taken place go look at the admissions if you don't find something up other, some with it, then you probably need to look in the mirror.

It's not about over where adults we know what goes on and massage man at some lazy BS, cut it out yet.

This plenty of people who go outside looking for good time. You can look for good time when a street corner you can look for good time at the club.

You can look for good time anywhere abusing power to take advantage of somebody men anything looking for good time lesbian accrete stop it making excuses for people. I wasn't in the room all day and time, I don't.

I need to be. I need to be 30 women. I don't need the be. I don't need to be one woman.

I ain't coming up with these excuses Mr. JR sport we show on CBS sports radio. How is your mental health.
