Also government dry spray contains doves unique one quarter moisturizing cream that helps protect your skin trite dub men plus care draws break goes on dry cleaning field all day storytime is that which I shall tell when the news broke that he was inducted and he said I'm not going to care CO don't do this man somehow must've gotten back to them still on parole when the time shall consummate my name out you like to go in the parking lot earlier on Xiao's having been made everything Mary Senior writer back everybody to the rich and show that now with her storytime yesterday about about my life engagement with with CO there are guys we don't. It's pretty darn good support or just goes I'm still on parole back like yesterday. I don't know how many of you were listening yesterday, but of course I told the story during the O'Reilly storytime hereunder tries to show about an incident with the with Terrell Owens a few years back right you know it was right after he declined to go to Canton and I just know I'm doing I'm doing a job like I am now I sit in the chair in front of a microphone talking about the news the day this was. This is big news. No one had ever declined an opportunity to go to Canton is to be inducted into the Hall of Fame. I don't believe so I could be wrong but his exit was boycotting because he felt he was resentful that that he wasn't voted in as a first ballot Hall of Famer and I understand that he should be the first ballot Hall of Famer is for the top three wide receivers. I think of all time in NFL history. So I made a comment around and he confronted me I was going I am going to do a summit like this.
It's funny, I don't because of seeing this stuff or listen to the sub.
Some of the comments I think around around the story right. You know it gets posted on your guises. YouTube channel and and people reading the comments board.
Oh no you get on TJ about Ryan reading. I'm going to comment that I think it's just I think this is funny is good. I care about you title title needs to be corrected.
The time Ryan leaf almost got beat up by teal that's amazing. I like Ryan leaf, but honestly, I like Ryan leaves a bit more Ryan. We plan on words or see here is rightly qualified to criticize CO from working hard enough to earn a spot in Canton as an NFL Hall of Famer in choosing to have his own ceremony, especially since Ryan Lee through his entire career away because he was an alcoholic and drug addict now. I will say this I wish I could blame the fact that I was a crappy football player on drugs and alcohol advice.
So after I just like you can just just a month.
I'm sorry to disappoint you.
Call me later so no means do I think like it if it happened like I'm not I'm getting my butt kicked right next it was his biggest physical on the big guy too. But like I was resigned to the fact like okay I'm going back to jail. Maybe a different idea to maybe like on the back gel submitter mixes up a little bit right. It just was a weird situation in no point yesterday during story did you come off like I would welcome rightly, that will never you never came awfully just simply stating the fact that I was. This was this was what happens with this. That was his situation your situation and you thought about the consequences. Well, I felt like I knew what was about to happen, but likely dustup better heads prevailed. He let me know he was not happy eyeless… I think I'm I said some bills like why you care what I what you care what I have to say no to considering the amount of people who were really saying often.
You know I the left-field stuff about him at that time I gets rolled up on them in the country club parking lot either an opportunity read like if he had seen one of the other guy talking hey guys, it might've been the same thing. Yeah I get it I get it.
I just know I also understand what it what and how it feels to be consumed by what other people think of you right. I was neatly immersed in that feeling like I cared so much about what other people thought of it and it didn't necessarily have to be good. It could be bad. I just I just wanted one to be thinking about me right there is a narcissistic behavior to that personality disorder and some I definitely had right. I think I don't know if I told you the story before, like I walk into a room a lot of times and I'll be thinking because I just don't want to be recognizably likely still recognize me. Please don't recognize me please all recognize me in like 15 minutes later Mike why the hell isn't recognizing that selected narcissistic me right up to I need to be seen.
I need to be heard. I need to be loved and go to file. Makes me cry like I are an extrovert who just want to be left alone.
Almost. But I am a self-esteem problem. To put it but then ultimately like one night when I when I got out of prison and ice are working with a therapist all around that concept around making about other people, not about yourself and select that my therapist gave me this affirmation and how I don't preach a lot to people about what you should do right. I just tell you the story and then you you you decide you what you do with that that information thing I'm not here to tell you what to do, what not to do anything like that. This may be like the only one like try this say this in the mirror every morning for one year. Say whatever say what other people think of me is none of my business.
Your your brain is the most powerful muscle in your entire body right it's it's one that needs to be cultivated and built up, and strengthen all the time and I guarantee you if you say that in the near for an entire year. Every morning it's it's powerful it's real like when I first started saying it. It was like through gritted teeth.
It was like you know what other people think of me is none of my business. I don't believe it. And when I get up and say the morning Avenue for six years like it's it's it's it's say my brain writing yeah you know someone who listens to the show or watches the show and loves that wrist has me in the chairs from time to time, or there's a person watching a ghost but like that that beautiful that I don't buy him out at all you know that too many chances now it doesn't matter right. This could be somebody out there that listens is somebody out there that's watching that that frankly sees it and needs it right needs it for to be a solution at a point, like I need that hope because I was in such need of it like I had no idea what was ahead of me and I needed some sort of hope and it turned out it was about sharing and hearing other people stories so the fact that Rich allows this opportunity for me to hang with you guys on a multitude of levels and have this platform while right. Who could have imagined 10 years ago. This is where were Edward Piazza, sorry, sorry we come dove down into a this is a freight train. There is there's a light there's no light at the end of the tunnel they were in the middle of the abyss were drowning, but were treading water in Fraser and Mary someone ever listening to Metallica and if you see a light remember there's no light. If you see the light is Fraser freight train coming right at you to kill you. Let's go have fun writ grant hey guys guys take TJ grit race everybody and I want everybody to understand this will play you as a collective team is a rich agile play anywhere on Grasso turf on African landfill with the matter will take the show anywhere because we got should we do like a little back has one butt cheek and three toes and he's coming after you do a little audit on what grit could be for an acronym, the people greatness relies instinctively together together together, but I don't think Dan Campbell go that way. I want to hear this guys listeners out there watching a peacock right now I want you to call in 8204 Rich 844-204-7424.

Not maybe necessarily what you would come up with but maybe what Dan Campbell and in that mind and the mind of Dan Campbell what he would come up for the acronym for GR IT let us know what you think about that right into terror a ride. But today I bought a million for my wife, Mike. Let's go to Nick in Los Angeles go to line 1 hey doing Nick Dr. Ryan good morning, how are you doing good morning Nick, thanks for the call now.

I followed your story about Longhorn but I love college football and I love an underdog here in LA a television show. I work for shut down March 2020 and I was one month sober 30 milli-many challenges in dark days and uncertainty in my life. There will be a developing idea that God is reserved a group of people for me in those dark days and uncertainty. I found everyone I found your podcast, but I rediscovered your story not found you. I start a business during COBIT to help my neighbors anything about effects of service you know about now. I paint houses for properties with real estate agents and clients of many codes around Los Angeles on you. Help me to survive. You gave me that active service in your podcast which is on Odyssey and guided me to the thought and imagine what will happen if I keep going right on Nick and on August 16. I will celebrate 30 months of sobriety from alcohol is going to say thank you Ryan, this is what I just talk my next thank you so much for the call to celebrate you here on the air while you listen. This was exactly what we are talking about right. One person out there. Never thought I have a purpose 10 years ago. Sit in a prison cell. Never thought I have any sort of purpose at all. I thought my purpose to the service I was other people's what I did on trial on Saturdays and Sundays all never would've had the impact that I'm getting to have now if I hadn't experienced it in Nick, congratulations I know how hard it is to go one day to be near 30 months is exceptional and it only gets better. I wish I could carry you another five, six years down the line. Tell you what it's gonna be just absolutely amazing.

We got our first grit accident. Nick, thanks for the call. Max will you need anything ever. You can reach me on the MI platforms. Social media just this reach out and help for anything.
Doesn't matter. Things like that's pretty cool. While I was a great let's follow-up Michael Scott on our fourth time in Alabama. Hey, don't tell me I didn't Tommy I Ryan how are you doing well sir, thanks Colin, one of the call and tell you, follow up on the last caller. Some of these issues that you had always been a big fan of yours and but love that thing. The progress that you may love you there something I think you would help so many people up.
You know what you'll Dan Patrick show with everything else, but you have been so good for a lot of people and you know that I just can't thank you enough tell you how much of that you're honest to you when you sit there and tell people about how you were that you don't hide anything that helps people all of the white that fit. Please keep up the good work wish you well in Connecticut and love you. Thank you so much appreciate the call. If you set these up today like is like know they literally just came in in the last few minutes. I think the just the just goes to show how you touch people. Your story the redemptive path that you've been on for the last few years and you continue to be on were all super proud of you were pump to having our lives are your friend also run you know you spoke earlier about a some YouTube comment very much so the not the prevailing thought when people write about you in our social media.
It's 90 and we talked about this the other day when I tell you it's 99% positive for his ugliest social media gets like from the first day you started hosting that was something I wanted to look and monitor just to see what people are saying and like you know what two years ago with the first time he hosted an essay telling these guys men in occasional kind off comment, but the majority people were so pump to have you here did see you have this this form in their very positive about you and your story in your journey and it's for his ugliest social media is, it was something like a said I was worried about but man it's it's like you've made the ugliness when it comes to you disappear at least on our form, but I think I also just, you know, like the last caller said it doesn't cost me anything. He knows my story.
I know that the ugliness they know you know so doesn't it doesn't cost me anything to be accountable for only it only strengthens me because I did it right.
I'm on that I was that person. I still can be that person. Like I still struggle every day with it just more aware of it and I have a great group of people around me who hold me accountable and are supportive so you saw the light at the end of the tunnel.
It was not a freight train know it was actual light on cast lights on the rich eyes and a very go. That's a good transition right now coming up next here in the rich eyes show Mary Kay Cabot from the Cleveland plain dealer's going to join us talk about all things the Cleveland Browns what's going on. The news with the Sean Watson in the appeal process we come back here on the rich eyes and show I'm Ryan leaf. Thank you back everybody in the rich eyes and show Ryan leaf here filling in for Rich this week alongside TJ Jefferson Michael Dell to follow Chris Brockman here in the El Segundo hacienda here in Los Angeles yesterday, the Commissioner of the NFL Roger Caddell took some questions and had some comments about the Sean Watson the appeal process and what it's meant and why go back to thinking years because we use the evidence she was very clear evidence she reinforced the evidence that there was multiple violations and it was pretty always felt really important for us as we fax well, let's bring in Mary Kay Cabot from the Cleveland plain dealer to comment on what Roger Goodell had to say and what's been going down since his comments yesterday and Cleaver Mary, welcome to show how you are doing great.
I'm doing well thanks for taking some time today, probably not too much to write about this.
This early camp for you this year right now and go align your just waiting for neck pain right now where any part waiting for Peter Harvey's ruling so it really is there any estimate to when you think or believe that his ruling will come down in this appeal process being well I would imagine that it probably could be awkward Dell because the ground are leaving for Jacksonville today to try to play I get on watching the game on Friday night, the first preseason game in the air because it expanded indefinitely at the bank he's the idea that it's Kevin Stefanski has had this laid at his feet and trying to you know navigate a process of getting quarterbacks ready is it is it thought there in Cleveland that wire we are where we you know giving resources right now to DeShawn wants, especially with the first six games that are that are winnable games, maybe outside the Chargers game Jacoby reset deserves and needs more reps, especially with the likes of Joshua Dobbs and Josh Rosen behind who may get thrust in action, in case there's an injury as well. Balancing act right now.
Try to get Jacoby ready to start. How many African at the reality back at your anything can happen in a legal point and what happens with Temporary Restraining Order and there's been a lot of debate about that, but it is my understanding, backed up by one of a lawyer to give the That had been kind talking a little bit about it that can happen in the event that they could hear a PRL Temporary Restraining Order or an injunction felt. I mean, I think I've been meaning the NFL or Peter Harvey come down with a ruling that doubled the bank and are taken out of circulation for at least a year. I think he able to and who knows what can happen at that point felt That guy get Jacoby ready to play. You gotta keep DeShawn ready to play with, knows what to ask you said publicly write these been up there on the podium hold the jersey was Jimmy house on the owner and DeShawn Watson in the conversation piece.
I mean you've known Kevin for a few years now your work really close with him how how do you think she is taking this all in him he cannot like what distraction has become because he feels like they have a very talented football team and this unfortunately is something that's going to you know be a bit of a dark cloud that just covers them in.
Most likely for the season operate tried control the uncontrollable really dark okay I think I'm going.
I know the real great steward of the ship here because you're here okay and they are doing a good job of at least right now right thing working really hard and Good for parking there getting better I can see out there dominant de facto Great running game or Bear now key recurring hike to be traded night unflappable and I think he had guided difficult parking if you get the same way you get at COBIT when he first showed up on the doorsteps. That's great to hear Brown send out there because they are talented right incessantly deep inside the football at the running back position.
What they do on the offense of life. You know, go back to where ultimately the Baker Mayfield situation imploded right I am from afar from up analyst looking from outside of Cleveland. You watched a guy take a team that had one win in two consecutive seasons to the playoffs and then last year you will play through a grueling injury and got it out to only be told in the off-season that we want an adult in the room and they went out and got a guy who's been no accused of 20+ some sexual assault allegation.
So where did it ultimately go wrong with the conversation piece that you talked about you know what was going on inside the locker room the relationship with Kevin Stefanski worded ultimately all the wrong what went wrong trying to chronicle last year. I can't make Kevin to the point where if you recall, I wrote a column after the thing that something didn't Think didn't change I that Baker would consider parking for him to be traded back. I have a firestorm but I know it to be true at the time I knew you know that answer how things had broken down from any from Baker standpoint between him and I don't think him.that way. I think he thought it will you coaching a football team.you go out you do your job. Thinkers didn't like a lot of the weight that he didn't like a lot of you know get the relationship between those two yeah I don't think he had any intention of coming back and trying to work with Kevin again in the same way he did in 2021. If you could avoid the interesting idea speaking with Mary Kay Tabet from the Cleveland plain dealer I was looking at the schedule yesterday and especially when when the announcement came out that that six games initially was the suspension most likely is going to be longer, but it to your point, the legal system go with swear that in that there is that there's an injunction I got, but you look at their first six games right, the biggest one of course at Carolina because of the Baker Mayfield storyline in week one with any of the jets who we don't know too much about this troubled year ago. The rookie quarterback your two with Robert Solomon in Pittsburgh.
A teammate had success with.
Especially at home, then Atlanta charges to be difficult. Knowing what I think is is one that you could make a coin toss especially include nominal six games right there with Jacoby reset at the helm.
How how confident do you think this team feels with the early scheduling regardless of who's at quarterback at the time. Now I think they were probably jumping for joy when they thought that will come out right on to talk early part of Went out and added honey talent on bite once again how they just lost their starting right Pretty thinking.
I know you know that Pittsburgh is 8 o'clock at quarterback position now really kind of up in the air start against the Cleveland Browns and not gain self. I think the Browns were ecstatic when they found early part of the schedule, thinking that Jacoby reset could hold down the fort until DeShawn got back time they were breaking down for 6 to 8 game suspension and now we get No idea if it can be as short as the 16 to Elrod and came up with or what Peter Harvey alright so let's talk a little football right that's what are basically excited to see come come Thursday with with the start of preseason games talk to us a little bit about the injuries three centuries, and in particular with your was with their great returner and some of the positive things you seen from camp's on the defensive side or or things that that Browns fans out there to be excited about it in the face of all this very important that you can grant their All-Pro returner went down with Kelly yesterday, written by McCain. I could be separate even ending injury to person and undrafted very promising rookie by the name of Isaiah lacking. I so he got me to thinking as well and had other injuries, everything.
But I still think they need to go out and add another receiver or to someone that is somewhat accomplished but will have to see where that's going to go then if I met you before you got Kareem Hunt wanting to betray to try that there are some things that are up in the air, but there there's still a lot of talent for pumping Amari Cooper has looked really good. I didn't joke Dylan Harrison Bryant Haydon are looking really good that you got Nick chop arguably the best bar in the NFL. And then when you move over to the side of the box I think is going to be dynamite finished in the top five last year. Overall they're only going to be better this year's else is out there excited to hear that Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland plain dealer joining us. Thanks for taking the time Mary Kay will be talking soon yes or I now this is the biggest concern concern for me because there's so much ambiguity around what can happen. What will happen with interbrand on yesterday who of course as much experience in the log game. He did not want to comment on on on that because he's not a litigator right to me there's always the option for that. See, I was under the impression that because of their decision to say they accept the six game suspension. They have live rule out any opportunity for them to go in front of a judge and say you know we one injunction now.
Let them play why we figure this out, but she still believes that that could be a possibly there could be a harsh directive put down by the appeals judge here and you could be suspended indefinitely. The NFL PA and Shawn Watts decide to to sue the NFL and the decision and in and figure a way to get some sort of injunction we could see the Shawn Watson week one versus the Carolina Panthers.
I don't feel like that is actually something that can happen, but it's still actually a reality that that that Browns fans and and people out there who are preparing for the Cleveland Brownstein have to take that into consideration that seems pretty wild that could happen. I would put that I would be shocked if that happened to me hasn't did say this week that there can respect and honor the decision of the appeal, no matter what it is. So it seems like it's illegal to be more games right to get that feeling Rogers pushing really hard for the full year, I guess is the meet in the middle and will be 12 and it seems like he's going to serve that this year. Member a few years ago. Tom Brady did the same thing he was suspended over the deflate gate in the cell phone and all that they push it a whole year, but yeah, it seems to me like he is to get suspended this year and it is good to be Jacoby percent of the better part of the year I think so too. I think so too.
The seems incredible talented. She talked about how Kevin Stefanski really compartmentalizes and keeps the ship running minutes.
That's really impressive in the face of all this was going on, especially with none of it under his control and he had no say in what ownership was doing a general manager was doing in terms going to get this in making this thing soft assemblies to backup callers and hang onto limit. Yeah.
And did you see the other names on their Mike my my computers yeah Crayola and Cliff on to I go to Craig Craig on line 1 Craig Hayden about good nap. Important progress.
I get a come up with greatness reside in tenacity. That's pretty good that is that, since Dan Campbell right it tenacity is pretty simple is pretty tenacious when she said I thought. I think that you better not.
I just know I play with a couple guys in school, or not you probably know that I was on the same category you did when everything works out and I watched their story and I see your story and you guys are harder than the average person, but you know what you guys like you everyday. You are all doing great right now. Thank you so much for the call now. I think you guys are wonderful. That's a good one for grid right. I like that one yeah I like take that onto little bit right good thing tenacious in some things Mancini tenaciously hit a three wood is 2007 plane rustic on Thursday. Oh, interesting. Now after the show tomorrow. In it, tomorrow's Thursday while this just in the strongest 10th DJ view on today's dated you wouldn't know that the Mets have convincing record in baseball today.
What is a question that that that will happen. Since were moving to Connecticut like we know what what baseball team to why it's diver into right. He tried to get not the Yankees right not the Yankees to become clear about that. Not Yankee so I got given him the Mets and the Red Sox. He loves red oh it was a color red and Boston's incredibly close to two were living in Connecticut as well as as well as Orchard Park are not to park what a flushing question where the New York Mets play the Mets are blue. He likes the color blue to write out so I think those two teams are to be probably the you know pushing to cubs. I tried. Oh I tried I made him wear cubs geared to games of my own I take it as a worthless and filled. Well, I mean he wants to come wants to be with dad, but I think he started develop that independent personality right now you know when it's you know it's a few weeks ago we saw the picture of the guy who had the socks had on with the Mets jersey when we have lost about how that could be possible. Will MacGyver could actually this could be organic for him if he could be a socks Mets fan blades going right now. Well, to be a Mets fan and and hate the Yankees and love the socks because that's arrival and yeah I understand I'm pushing for the Mets there that got. I would love to see Sarah does not love to see a subway series World Series this year and that would be great. I'm holding out hope I'm not called that the first week of the season and just look like it could actually happen, but I don't.
You thought we got we got color guests Cliff lying to Cliff Cliff, one of the rich Isa show how you go to guy Cliff with abdomen.
I got to go about doing. Thanks I got word for grid minded greatness requires individual toughness like that to. I wonder if Dan Campbell, of course, I'm sure is listening to the show will then apply this to the next. Hard knocks what he thinks I not right. Take take to Glenda you steal from others you know greatness you steal from others.
I like it. Thanks for the call.
I like to listen.
I was good to write these down TJ. These are nice. I keep calling us a 44204 rich for a acronym grid acronym grid and of course you know just you know that the admiration society for Riley today.
Apparently you guys set this up. I know you did wish I was that good. I come back to start talking about the AFC North right we discussed it. What's it going to look like Lamar Jackson conversation, Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Cincinnati here on the rich Isa show we come back. I'm finally feeling fresh welcome back everybody the rich Isa show Ryan leaf year filling in for Rich heading into our number three here. Tyler done from the goal long podcast go along to you.com will be joining us at the top of the hour, and then a little bit later Rex tottered from the golf channel.com writer to talk to us about the decision made by the cord around the live tour and access to the PGA Tour's FedEx playoffs and what that means.
Also there was discussion around Camp Smith yesterday course British Open winner declaring while not declaring but rumors that he is already accepted and will move on to the live tour. Once the FedEx playoffs are over, so will be joining us here in the next hour. I forget to them.
We just spoke with Mary Kay Cabot from the Cleveland plain dealer around the Cleveland Brown's big topic. Of course DeShawn Watson in the appeal process over the last couple days we've been here on the show but I thought it would be fun for all of us to dive in and take a bigger look at the AFC North right a very competitive division and now that the likes of the Cincinnati Bengals have erupted into a Super Bowl contender a year ago make this division arguably one of the most competitive out there. You could maybe argue up against the AFC West in terms of all four teams going in the season with a real possibility right. The idea that Cleveland without their quarterback may put them in a disadvantage of disadvantage state in a place where they not not be able to compete, but I'm telling you right now. Lamar Jackson doesn't get hurt a year ago.
The injuries to the running back position for the season started and then the absolute decimation of their defensive backfield Lake near like the ravens are right there. People can't just dismiss them this off-season. For whatever reason, but nobody's really talking about them because the whole Lamar contracting is just been one giant shrug emoji. No one can really figure out why he hasn't signed or why negotiations are further down the road toward the money wise. It's just a big, like I don't get it, but they are gonna be back healthy. JK Dobbins is back is not on the pup list is practicing that to the monster monster if they can figure out you know I was in the last Hollywood Brown to the Cardinals.
But they can figure out who their number one outside threat, we know how great Mark Andrews is I think you know you figure out the outside threat, then you know this teams going to be really really good and and that tells me that it's on confidence abatement right wide receiver out of Minnesota right when they invested of first-round draft pick on him like lately, they have to feel that that's that's where they don't, I ask you this question a while ago to decant he can't play on this fifth year option contract County and been coming. If you if you skip if this is what he's looking for and he's betting on himself to play and not get injured after year where he got injured to become an unrestricted free agent. He would be that Reddick until tag them for next two years. This is very plain chicken with was something where you could sign an extension where Dave plainly said, we want we want to pay the guy what he's her future. John Harbaugh's dislike is already rated side of him whatever he wants to sign business because it is the offer been just been insulting. Maybe I don't know you know TJ. We talked about this a lot this off-season with Lamar, but I think once DeShawn Watson, Inc. that 230 million guaranteed I'm sure Lamar was just like yet yeah that's the starting number of spaghetti and you will will start at that and then also it probably waited on Kyler get that contrary. Hey, now that really gave DeShawn's was a little bit like that. This is an ambitious Kyler seem to be more in line with the rich goes, who's up next.
Always in the trajectory of contract and the contract guy ride. None of us here are good at math so I try to stay out of those things. Kyler got 160 and you change whatever gears are here so you are in a number between that neighborhood yet heard two guises never won a playoff game. DeShawn and Kyler. You are MVP, MVP finally got his first playoff in a couple years ago and now it's like, okay go I mean the guaranteed money better start with 200, you know, we wait for and I know that's where the market is.
That's where I mean I think ownership past and I asked Andrew Brown about this as their pastor Jimmy Housel. Yeah, right. Why would you do this and not only do it, and set that precedent will because when Andrew Toles is because they were off the radar they were going to get in and they said here here's a blank check filled in will do it. It's amazing amazing that they're willing to Brown's. I really like the NFL live tour this dyslexic DeShawn went there for the money right right you got everything it could contract to settle all the suits are quite right to be part of it. I was doing the math and speaking of not being good map is doing the math. Let's see note all of these settlements have been placed in you know it in like MBAs.
It is not there. Not that you will know that I never get to know what it is that's kinda doing like if let's say, for every one of them you paid $250,000 or so right right so you got 20 of them at 250,000. That's $5 million okay $5 million when you're making $46 million this year is a drop in the bucket to get it done to get it out of there. Hey, I don't even think you really think about it like cool done.
There is there is, we'll never know how much it was. But even if the Savior you get a million million dollars to every person and every woman that that policy ramming is still signet. That's not even half of what his gross revenues would be this year with the bonus that it's it's unbelievable the contract that they were able to get applies to athletes first my old agent Dave done hey you know to be my own show. Dave done me some some money to write old agent. Well, you know you know agents coming already comes in that he comes into the mixing business like I was talking to you know is talking to Fox sports or something like that about you know if Vince Zardari twice so I have yet to my my agent is Mr. David Kunin at CAA sports presented a remarkable job right. He's just coming, look where I was out more about now so used is that he's a miracle worker right so I don't blame you if one of distance myself or Mr. Kuhn and his is is done. It is a tremendous job but what an agent to get that deal right unbelievable so you're watching this play out in Baltimore and don't forget, I just mentioned agent and what does Lamar Jackson not have an agent right, he's reset representing himself mean 3% on $200 million is a lot of money, but it is what I don't know what you would look at it is, you know it's it's 3 million $6 million right dollars is that's a lot of money, but I mean if you're making $40-$50 million a year, and for your deal. Allah is nowhere Rogers style one $6 million for this part of doing business, but that he holds out his pocket right MES and for peace of mind.
I do not have to really worry about it. I don't know how this is weighing on Lamar is especially as training camp opens. I'm sure he would've liked it had something done before.
This time he's not. This is not playing the game of being a holding guy right here is another practice and that he's out there. He could get her at any point.
Yeah. Also, it's obvious chump change was making sure to fit your option is right for me. Plus million dollars right like a horse doing this himself… We are very on this. We all realize that yes he has a lawyer right I mean I I would assume if you don't have an agent. I'm assuming that you do have a lawyer, you do need something to kinda go over these contracts with a fine tooth comb rights is always a rake on Smith yesterday. You know have a very succinct statement that was made. He does not have an agent currently but of course he said to consult with somebody coming. I was it was very profound and there's a bunch legal jargon that was that was placed in so I pencil it out. Let's look at the let's look at a look at the Baltimore Ravens schedule here. This division is is incredibly difficult like I was talking about because of who they play twice a year right so lately started the Jets start the Jets. They then get Miami at home and we too has to be a great match of right when they have ceased the up at New England. A week later, and the Buffalo I mean it literally for the first four weeks of the season take on the AFC East that's that's the first four games and then they get into the sum of their conference and divisional schedule right Cincinnati at the Giants Cleveland and at Tampa Bay and in New Orleans before thereby. Okay. They are every bit as capable anybody in the AC of winning and winning a lot their talented they're always ready is just a matter of whether not they can get explosive plays at the wide receiver position I think is the biggest? In all of this you know Mars could be dynamic in order to run the ball well. DK Dobbins can say healthy.
He's a big physical back and catch the ball out of the backfield. Mark Andrews is hardly one of the best tight ends in the NFL and what he can do down the middle the field and possession receiver so and defensively there to be great right the district to continue to be great if there healthy if they stay healthy. There's no reason in my mind that Baltimore can't win this division at all.
Cincinnati had a real real hook on Baltimore leaser last year over that.
What were the Beatdown's by Cincinnati 41 to 17. Yeah, big time, and then 41 to 21 so you will see will see but don't we come back will be talking with Ty Dunn about the Buffalo Bills. A team that Baltimore Ravens play early in the season here on the rich Isa. Shall we come back alright so this move down the line a little bit the Pittsburgh Steelers? Freakishly somehow find a way with Ben Roethlisberger just dragging them along last year. Not being able to throw the ball. What more than 10 yards down the football field get to the playoffs. Now they can think Brandon Staley and the charges for you know a couple mistakes late in the in the raters and finding a way to win that if they Ty don't forget sealers are out instead they go to the playoffs again they get no routed run over by the Chiefs immediately and Ben's last game but now there in a bit of an unknown wears a quarterback position go visit Mr. risky is it masonry off of the scene before their oars at Kenny Pickett their first pick in this year's NFL draft. Right. I have to get after seeing where the other quarterbacks went after scene how Pickett's portal progressed so far and can is sitting in the third position right now in initial depth chart you may think a little bit that they may have reached for Pickett, they probably could got around to. There is no quarterback that went to the third round, right so that that's an interesting take on all this. I think Mr. risky gets the not. He's on a a limited contract to show show me or move on type of thing. I like it I like to admit.
Canada's offense, the defense is going to be the difference right. They are really good. They were good a year ago and the defensive player of the year.
I feel like they've improved some things now what do they do on offense, no hour three we were going to our three were going to get into a little bit of some of my predictions from a couple drafts ago, I hosted right one of them revolves around Nadia Harris whether or not that was a right to form was pretty darn good.
Last year, but will get that further that further. Don't get me wrong, I expect the sealers to be competitive, but I do think that this team if Mr. risky cannot play at a very high level.
This team could be on the verge like they were a year ago of missing the playoffs and maybe not continue net Street for Mike, I always think he is. It will have a great answer I think will be ready to go Steelers a course or my team.
I love them as a kid growing up I want them to see big be successful. Excited to see what the quarterback position. Looks like I will come back.
