The Pat McAfee Show - PMS 2.0 166 - Math Talk, Fight Talk, And Life Talk. Feel Good Friday With An Appearance From NFL.com's Tom Pelissero
Episode Date: February 21, 2020On today’s show, Pat reacts to the new proposed CBA which was reported by Adam Schefter a couple of nights ago. Pat tries to break down and make sense of all of the mathematics, and dives into what ...it means, why the players will take issue with certain parts, and what the owners are probably thinking as they try to navigate their way through the whole thing. Pat and the boys also discuss the proposed addition of one more playoff team in the AFC and NFC, and why players like Richard Sherman are very vocal about making their decisions regarding the CBA very carefully. Later, Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network and NFL.com joins the show to give a more in depth breakdown of what he is hearing from owners and players regarding these CBA negotiations, where he thinks the potential snags will be, and where some more of the discussions and challenges will lead over the course of the next few days as owners and the NFLPA representatives meet. Tom also gives Pat his take on Tom Brady and whether or not he will actually spurn New England for free agency (20:10-36:06). Pat also takes a couple of calls from around the nation and dives into the Titans current situation and whether or not they should give Derrick Henry a max contract and resign Ryan Tannehill or if they should let them go and try to tank for Trevor Lawrence, and looks ahead to Tyson Fury/Deontay Wilder II and gives his prediction for what will happen in the highly anticipated rematch.

                                         Okay, so let's get into this. Adam Schefter tweeted last night a pretty alarming set of
                                         
                                         figures that kind of went over everybody's head whenever they're talking about revenue share.
                                         
                                         Okay, so whenever Adam Schefter tweeted this last night last night he said more on a transformational cba
                                         
                                         proposal now on the table per sources this is what the owners who have been summoned to new
                                         
                                         york to vote on in the nflpa has been summoned to wherever they're at to vote on it's like the
                                         
                                         anchorman they grab the conch shell and they go the nfl owners have to vote on this and the nflpa
                                         
                                         is doing it so the transformational cba proposal that's now on the table for them as part
                                         
    
                                         of the new deal,
                                         
                                         players will go from a 47% revenue share under the current deal to 48% revenue
                                         
                                         share at 16 games.
                                         
                                         And then it'll go to 48 and a half percent revenue share.
                                         
                                         If they go to 17 games and then Schefter's tweets,
                                         
                                         this little number at the end
                                         
                                         that everybody like everybody's talking about how the NFL players don't have 50 percent everybody's
                                         
                                         talking about how the NFL players have the lowest revenue share out of all the regular sports or all
                                         
    
                                         the major sports which is all true but this last sentence here from Schefter was the one that was
                                         
                                         just like uh oh excuse me especially as somebody that has been, you know, in the middle of these
                                         
                                         types of negotiations for like the last two weeks, literally. Okay. So he says that when they jump
                                         
                                         from a 47% share, which is what the NFL players have had for the last 10 years to a 48% share for
                                         
                                         next season, and then a 48 and a half percent share whenever they go to 17 games, inevitably
                                         
                                         in two years, which is what's going to happen, whether the NFL PA likes it or not, they're voting on it. This is what's going to happen just because
                                         
                                         it feels like that's the way the tide is turning. That is shifting, Schefter says,
                                         
                                         say that 10 times fast. Schefter says that it's shifting $5 billion of revenue to players
                                         
    
                                         in that 1.5% slide? So from 47% revenue share,
                                         
                                         which is what the players have had for the last 10 years,
                                         
                                         to 48.5%, which is what they'll have in two years,
                                         
                                         that is a $5 billion shift.
                                         
                                         1.5% of the NFL's revenue for the next 10 years is $5 billion, okay?
                                         
                                         So if you do some math now and you divide it by 10 and you do that,
                                         
                                         each percentage yearly, 1% revenue that the NFL is making yearly,
                                         
                                         $320 million.
                                         
    
                                         Okay?
                                         
                                         That's 1% of the revenue.
                                         
                                         They're making $32 billion in revenue yearly.
                                         
                                         Okay?
                                         
                                         So whenever you start thinking about that,
                                         
                                         and that math checks out by
                                         
                                         the way we uh we did this four times on a dry erase board we carried the one we did the whole
                                         
                                         thing because i as soon as i saw that tweet last night i had inhaled all the cbdpm that i could
                                         
    
                                         potentially inhale because i'm trying to get off this hawaiian jet lag i inhaled all the vitamins
                                         
                                         that i could possibly have i was in an interesting state of mind. I look at that. I'm like, 1.5% of revenue for the NFL is $5 billion.
                                         
                                         $320 million is 1% of the NFL's revenue yearly.
                                         
                                         That is a stat that you need to think about whenever you hear the players go, well, we're
                                         
                                         not agreeing to this because we want more money.
                                         
                                         Because that's what's happening in the NFL.
                                         
                                         What we just did right here is what's happening in the nflpa meeting room
                                         
                                         they're like okay boys we can go from 47 to 48 we're already up a percent which by our math is
                                         
    
                                         320 million dollars being added into the players which by the way there's like 1500 players or
                                         
                                         something that that has to get split up and there's only 3200 so that's the whole thing
                                         
                                         then if we go up another half a percent obviously obviously that's another 160 million. If we want to add on there that, but what that is actually
                                         
                                         saying is that $32 billion of revenue is coming into the NFL yearly. Okay. That's from their TV
                                         
                                         deals. That's from the merch. That's from whatever they're absolutely doing. And the NFL PA players
                                         
                                         are like, well, wait a minute. They're with 32 billion. We're only getting 48%. We should get
                                         
                                         more than that. And the thought that has to be happening though is anytime these types of things happen where you think maybe the grass is greener we can get a
                                         
                                         little bit more and this can happen in a club with your friend this can happen in a business
                                         
    
                                         negotiation you never leave your for show money looking for mo money or you end up with no money
                                         
                                         so that's the conversations that's happening in the NFL and the NFLPA right now.
                                         
                                         And I think it's all coming together nicely here.
                                         
                                         The fact that they're already voting on things that have this importance
                                         
                                         before a lockout is even possible in a conversation is happening is good.
                                         
                                         But you've got a lot of players that are very high up in the NFLPA
                                         
                                         that I think are seeing all these numbers and they're going,
                                         
                                         no, no, no, no, we want more than that. Richard Shermanerman is somebody that's doing that who is also a friend of the show but a
                                         
    
                                         very important person in this conversation because he's an nflpa executive member so whenever you
                                         
                                         start seeing these numbers add up and you don't see the players just immediately go oh whenever
                                         
                                         the fans see like oh there's five billion dollars shifted to the players it's like i agree that's a lot of
                                         
                                         money but that's only 1.5 percent of what 32 owners are making over that's only that's only
                                         
                                         1.5 percent of their revenue for the next i mean it's just whenever you start thinking about it's
                                         
                                         like oh my god the amount of money that's being negotiated the fact that they can even think about
                                         
                                         coming to a deal is almost impressive to me and the nflpa is going to have
                                         
                                         to get to the point where they're like okay we had a little bit of a win here we had a little bit of
                                         
    
                                         a win here we got an extra 320 million a year at least that could go up to what 480 million a year
                                         
                                         if we want to gather it it's just whether or not we want to agree to that knowing that there's a
                                         
                                         lot more on the table that we could potentially get because the nfl is 32 billion well sorry 30
                                         
                                         billionaires right mark davis is about to lose all his money to tom brady couldn't even pay uh
                                         
                                         khalil mac i mean potentially connor and the packers don't have an owner but it's 30 billionaires
                                         
                                         that are splitting a company that's revenue 1.5 percent of it for the next 10 years is
                                         
                                         five billion dollars i think the way you got to look at this is like,
                                         
                                         hey, hell of a business you guys are running over there.
                                         
    
                                         Hell of a racket you got going.
                                         
                                         And good for you getting to keep 51.5% of that revenue
                                         
                                         every single year.
                                         
                                         But the NFLPA too.
                                         
                                         I mean, it's a lot of money.
                                         
                                         I was grossly overpaid.
                                         
                                         I was grossly overpaid to do what I was doing.
                                         
                                         Now granted, there's a lot of money that goes into it.
                                         
    
                                         And a lot of players are going to get grossly overpaid in a lot of eyes of a lot of people you can't compare being a quarterback in the NFL to the heroes of our world right you can't
                                         
                                         compare them to military members you can't compare them to cops you can't compare it to teachers you
                                         
                                         can't be like well you're just playing a kid's game again I agree completely and if you were to
                                         
                                         look at that for everything you're going to be very upset and alarmed about how much money kenny chesney makes just to sing a song
                                         
                                         with some auto tune like it's very hard to compare that which is what ends up happening in these
                                         
                                         negotiations and it's hard not to do but man there is a lot of money out there this football league
                                         
                                         is making and i bet you vince mcmahon the xfl is looking at it like hey we'll take 1.5 we'll take
                                         
                                         1.5 percent of whatever the nfl is doing that'd
                                         
    
                                         be good and things are oh that was funny because jamal adams who's a younger player tweets out
                                         
                                         more regular season games and more playoff games he's got more money for the league of players
                                         
                                         everyone wins and all the older players are like whoa man relax i think he deleted that tweet by
                                         
                                         the way jamal adams i believe i couldn't find it this morning richard sherman was like hey listen
                                         
                                         we do not need your ass right now,
                                         
                                         acting as if we have agreed to this deal.
                                         
                                         And I asked Richard Sherman to come on the show.
                                         
                                         I'm like, listen, Richard Sherman and I feel like having actual respect for each other.
                                         
    
                                         I have a lot of respect for Richard Sherman, by the way.
                                         
                                         I might not agree with every single thing that he says or does,
                                         
                                         but I have a lot of respect for a kid from Compton that went to Stanford,
                                         
                                         that has made himself, that has bet on himself the whole thing. And the fact that he is pretty high up in these negotiations is is by the
                                         
                                         way very impressive for a corner in the NFL to be a part of this and have this much leverage but
                                         
                                         you got a lot of OGs in the NFL that are look talking to the young guys like hey you don't
                                         
                                         even understand the business of this league yet you I don't know if Jamal Adams has gone through
                                         
                                         a negotiation has he uh I don't think so so i've always said this like the young player yeah he's gonna get paid but he's also gonna have
                                         
    
                                         to listen to negotiations about him being used goods like that's a conversation whenever you
                                         
                                         learn that oh this is not just a game this is not just uh this is not just fun in the backyard with
                                         
                                         our friends like this is pawn stars this is shark. And I am the item that they are talking about
                                         
                                         that could potentially be sitting on the shelf
                                         
                                         with nobody wanting it for the next year and a half.
                                         
                                         That's when you learn it's a business
                                         
                                         when you have to negotiate,
                                         
                                         let alone if you're an OG
                                         
    
                                         that's been through like three, four negotiations
                                         
                                         and you had heard everything
                                         
                                         and you know what's happening inside there.
                                         
                                         Alan Robinson, the second from the Chicago Bears,
                                         
                                         says young players,
                                         
                                         educate yourself on what's going on
                                         
                                         in the business of your sport.
                                         
                                         You don't just play ball.
                                         
    
                                         You're in a booey's-ness.
                                         
                                         And I couldn't agree with something more.
                                         
                                         He made a mistake of all cap locks,
                                         
                                         or all capitals, so you don't get the autocorrect.
                                         
                                         Yeah, it's tough.
                                         
                                         And things are only going to get better for the NFL
                                         
                                         because a lot of people are saying
                                         
                                         they want the 17-game deal,
                                         
    
                                         so they go back to their TV partners and ask for more money they make by the way it's
                                         
                                         two more weeks of the regular season and two more games on wildcard weekend yeah they wanted well
                                         
                                         they wanted to add right so then they also want to add seven they want to add a team on each side
                                         
                                         of uh the conferences for the playoffs right play Playoff money for the NFL is just house money
                                         
                                         because they don't have to pay the players as much.
                                         
                                         Now, granted, some players will get an upgrade,
                                         
                                         but a lot of the big-time players
                                         
                                         that you're spending a lot of money in,
                                         
    
                                         they're making the same amount of money
                                         
                                         as the special teamers that are making
                                         
                                         each and every single week.
                                         
                                         And you're getting higher ratings.
                                         
                                         You're getting a bigger TV deal.
                                         
                                         You're getting all this stuff.
                                         
                                         So it's like there's so much money being negotiated
                                         
                                         and all this stuff and so much money happening. By the way, Roger Goodell,
                                         
    
                                         who a lot of people hate because he's had to make decisions probably against your team
                                         
                                         or something like that. He's in a position where he gets paid mightily, but he has to
                                         
                                         make a lot of difficult decision. I think if we put him next to Rob Manfred, I think
                                         
                                         we all need to respect Roger Goodell a little bit more just because it could be Rob Manfred. I think we all need to respect Roger Goodell a little bit more. Just because it could be Rob
                                         
                                         Manfred.
                                         
                                         I think Goodell,
                                         
                                         one of his first things he said to the NFL was he wanted to make
                                         
                                         $32 billion a year for the NFL.
                                         
    
                                         I think that was one of his main goals. That's why they
                                         
                                         started going to Europe. That's why these things
                                         
                                         started to grow. They're like, we want to grow the game. We want to
                                         
                                         do this. We want to do this. The bottom line is
                                         
                                         all that they really care about. He came in and said, I think
                                         
                                         we can do this. Now, they're negotiating on the premise that that is what they're making
                                         
                                         i mean this is for the nfl you got to be like congrats but to the players them trying to inch
                                         
                                         out every single half a percent because every half a percent is what 160 million dollars a year
                                         
    
                                         i mean that is something that they're just trying to inch out this is going to be this is going to
                                         
                                         come down to the 11th hour this is going to come down to the 11th hour.
                                         
                                         This is going to come down to a negotiation about the nitty-gritty.
                                         
                                         And that nitty-gritty just happens to be hundreds and hundreds of millions of dollars.
                                         
                                         Do you know how much the networks pay a year?
                                         
                                         Per year for NFL rights?
                                         
                                         Didn't Amazon pay something like $90 million or something for Thursday Night Football?
                                         
                                         It was just a second stream.
                                         
    
                                         It wasn't even the real stream.
                                         
                                         The NFL gets $1 billion a year from CBS, $1.1 from Fox, and $1 billion from NBC.
                                         
                                         What's ESPN playing?
                                         
                                         For one year.
                                         
                                         It's not here.
                                         
                                         For Monday night, it's probably a billion.
                                         
                                         I think it was around a billion for Monday night.
                                         
                                         Because NBC is paying for Sunday night football for $950 million.
                                         
    
                                         They're making $4 billion a year just from TV partners.
                                         
                                         Is that just regular season or does that include playoffs as well?
                                         
                                         Playoffs are probably on top of that.
                                         
                                         Because that's what I was thinking.
                                         
                                         That's where players are actually going to end up kind of getting screwed over in this, right?
                                         
                                         Because the new – adding another playoff game, like they're going to renegotiate
                                         
                                         and that's going to be a massive deal.
                                         
                                         Oh, sorry.
                                         
    
                                         ESPN is paying $1.1 billion for monday night football i i respect it's a kid's game it's a kid's day 65 million a
                                         
                                         game 20 million per hour hey you should just be happy you get to play what we love playing in high
                                         
                                         school for a living you should be happy you get that opportunity i agree i absolutely agree but
                                         
                                         then that means the people that are running this team should be acting as if they're high school coaches, then, if that's the case.
                                         
                                         If we're going to go on the premise that the players should act like this is a kid's game, well, then let's go on the premise that the owners should act like it's a kid's game.
                                         
                                         That's why I hate when everybody starts attacking the players during this.
                                         
                                         The last CBA, I mean, let's be honest.
                                         
                                         When the lockout happened, okay, I was in the middle of the substance abuse program.
                                         
    
                                         I couldn't drink for like 12 months going into the lockout.
                                         
                                         Then when the lockout happened, I had no tests.
                                         
                                         So I was on like a 140-day binge.
                                         
                                         I had no clue what was going on in negotiations.
                                         
                                         I was too young to think anything.
                                         
                                         But now that I'm really like digesting it all,
                                         
                                         you got to remember in the players' locker rooms,
                                         
                                         like the year or two after the CBA,
                                         
    
                                         whenever, you know, on those trips home like four
                                         
                                         hour flight homes or flights home and there's no other really conversation that could happen and
                                         
                                         maybe there's been some wine drank or some beer drank and somebody who's in the nflpa or wants to
                                         
                                         be in the nflpa pops off about how we got screwed in the last cba and then that leads into a
                                         
                                         conversation that goes into all those things like the nflpa knows that after this last cba and then that leads into a conversation it goes into all those things like the nflpa knows
                                         
                                         that after this last cba there was a lot of disgruntled players about things that were
                                         
                                         happening because a deal they thought got rushed to finish line i don't think that's going to
                                         
                                         happen this time i think it's very interesting they're trying to get it done early but boy
                                         
    
                                         this is so much money so so much money two questions yeah buddy so when you were doing the lockout they stopped
                                         
                                         testing you oh yeah did your time like you had to be in there for what two years or whatever 27
                                         
                                         months 27 months did the time clock stop when the lock oh so you had to continue after suspended
                                         
                                         sentence yeah but after second question do you like the idea of seven teams from each conference
                                         
                                         making the playoffs yeah i don't mind it yeah i love it i don't mind it. Yeah, I love it. I don't mind it at all. Strictly as a fan, I don't mind it.
                                         
                                         Steelers would have benefited greatly.
                                         
                                         Yeah, I know.
                                         
                                         I got the text from you this morning from Warren Sharp, Sharp Football.
                                         
    
                                         By the way, I have no idea.
                                         
                                         That guy's been on the show.
                                         
                                         He has good stuff.
                                         
                                         Oh, yeah.
                                         
                                         If newly proposed playoff system were in place for the last 10 years,
                                         
                                         we would have added five 10-win teams, nine 9-win teams, six 8- eight win teams and i think the issue that everybody has with expanding the playoffs is like well if
                                         
                                         they don't deserve it they shouldn't get in especially because this year with the nfc east
                                         
                                         right there was a chance that a team with a losing record was going to get in the playoffs
                                         
    
                                         so with that fresh on people's minds the thought of adding another team everybody's like well
                                         
                                         if a division stinks or something like that we don't need to add more terrible teams warren
                                         
                                         sharp came out was like no no i, there's a lot of good teams
                                         
                                         that don't make the playoffs these days.
                                         
                                         10-win teams not getting in,
                                         
                                         and them being able to get in now is a huge plus.
                                         
                                         If you win 10 games, you should be in the playoffs.
                                         
                                         Any football fan is going to say this is a huge plus.
                                         
    
                                         Three games on Saturday, three games on Sunday,
                                         
                                         wildcard weekend.
                                         
                                         It's like whenever they play in London,
                                         
                                         you wake up, there's a game of 10.
                                         
                                         It's the best day ever. And that wildcard weekend it's like the whenever they play in london you wake up there's a game of 10 like it's the best day ever and that wildcard weekend this past year i fully enjoyed it
                                         
                                         it's the best but as a former player and as a person that was in that locker room i have to
                                         
                                         remember that there is a lot of guys who are just trying to make as much money in as short period of
                                         
                                         time as possible and their bodies are taking damage, which, by the way, they know going into football
                                         
    
                                         is going to happen.
                                         
                                         They understand that there's an inherent risk whenever you play football.
                                         
                                         But right now, every single percent, every single half a percent that these players are
                                         
                                         trying to negotiate for is potentially changing a life for a long time.
                                         
                                         And I think that's why negotiations can get a little bit uglier once in a while.
                                         
                                         I respect and am disgusted by the owners at the same time for not going for the 50-50 split because like you
                                         
                                         said that's just another thing they can grab in negotiations with offering up another half percent
                                         
                                         if they wanted to but no way if they give 50-50 then they're alluding to the fact that the players
                                         
    
                                         are worth 50 percent of the NFL success the owners don't think that right right that's why whenever
                                         
                                         they had the lockout or they had anything like that,
                                         
                                         like the thought the owners have is we can plug and place anybody into these systems.
                                         
                                         And I think even after seeing the XFL success, they're like, look.
                                         
                                         Now, granted, I don't know if the XFL success is going to sustain or whatever,
                                         
                                         but they had like 4 million people watching the game the first week,
                                         
                                         three and a half or something like that, two and a the nfl sees that the owners see that and they're like
                                         
                                         listen this is a plug-in place operation and i think they kind of lightened up on that thought
                                         
    
                                         because whenever they went after the uniform rules in the no dancing rules and uh people are getting
                                         
                                         fined if their socks run all the way up they wanted everybody to look and act the exact same
                                         
                                         way so they can plug in place players, right?
                                         
                                         That's what they wanted to take personalities out of the game.
                                         
                                         They wanted to take out the individuality out of the game.
                                         
                                         They wanted it to be a completely team sport.
                                         
                                         So whenever this guy's out, we put a new guy in that's dressed the exact same, doesn't dance, doesn't do anything.
                                         
                                         It doesn't matter.
                                         
    
                                         Now, they've lightened up on that because of how bad they look.
                                         
                                         But if you were to give a 50-50 split with the players as the owners, in their eyes, they're like, well, we don't think the players deserve an exact 50%.
                                         
                                         That 1.5% on top of them is just 100% like a power trip type.
                                         
                                         Oh, yeah.
                                         
                                         And that's the way it goes.
                                         
                                         Well, and that's been kind of ingrained into the players, too,
                                         
                                         because the NFL doesn't need you.
                                         
                                         It's like a lot of those guys say.
                                         
    
                                         It's like, hey, guess what?
                                         
                                         The game is going to go on without you, whether you like it or not.
                                         
                                         Yeah, you're just a piece of gum, man.
                                         
                                         Hey, whenever the flavor runs out on your particular piece of gum,
                                         
                                         we'll just go and pick another one out,
                                         
                                         and that thing will taste probably better than you did.
                                         
                                         That's exactly their thought.
                                         
                                         That's their mindset.
                                         
    
                                         And that's why 51.5% is a very, very good deal compared to the 47,
                                         
                                         or 48.5% is a very good deal compared to the 47 or 48 and a half percent is a very good deal compared
                                         
                                         to the 47%. But boy, the money is alarming. So sorry to interrupt. We all have an idea of what

                                         Joining us now is an insider, a man that showcased the Mike McCarthy project,
                                         
                                         which probably got him the job with the Dallas Cowboys, by the way,
                                         
                                         went inside McCarthy's house to showcase how Mike McCarthy basically flipped his massive home in green bay into a
                                         
                                         football facility with a bunch of guys breaking down film and things like that an insider in the
                                         
                                         nfl world ladies and gentlemen tom pelasaro thanks for having me pat what's up buddy hey
                                         
                                         tom that mike mccarthy piece was awesome thank you do you that was uh it was very cool to uh
                                         
                                         you know have that level of access and get to see what he was doing during his year away.
                                         
    
                                         I think we showed a little different side of Mike McCarthy
                                         
                                         than people who were accustomed to seeing.
                                         
                                         Do you think you got him the job for the Cowboys that week?
                                         
                                         I think Mike didn't necessarily need my help.
                                         
                                         I would just say I did hear from numerous other NFL coaches
                                         
                                         and executives saying,
                                         
                                         can we do the same thing for me next year
                                         
                                         I completely forgot about Mike McCarthy to be honest until I watched that I'm like yo
                                         
    
                                         Yinzer is ready to get back in the game then he goes down to Dallas he lies right to Jerry and
                                         
                                         Stephen Jones talking about how he saw the place has the job I think they're in a good spot excited
                                         
                                         to see what they do with Dak before we get to any player information let's talk about the NFL and
                                         
                                         the CBA that's coming to fruition here they said one and a half adam schefter tweeted last night that a one and a half percent upgrade in the revenue share
                                         
                                         over the next 10 years is a five billion dollar shift 1.5 percent of the nfl's revenue share for
                                         
                                         the next 10 years is going to be five billion dollars you do the math one percent then each
                                         
                                         year is 320 million they're saying they're making 32 billion in revenue a year. How is that
                                         
                                         possible? And what are other conversation pieces that are going to have to happen for this NFL CBA,
                                         
    
                                         NFLPA, NFL CBA to come to fruition? Well, the math is a little bit more complicated. So under
                                         
                                         the current collective bargaining agreement, without putting everybody to sleep here,
                                         
                                         players are guaranteed 47% over the life of a 10-year deal, which means in any given year,
                                         
                                         they might only get 46% or 45% of revenue. It just has to come out to 47%. So under the proposed
                                         
                                         deal, now it would be 48% minimum per year, which is a significant difference. That's under a 16
                                         
                                         game schedule. So even if they never were to go hold that lever and go to 17 games, that's about
                                         
                                         a $2.5 to $3 billion shift. Then if they go to 17 games that's about a 2.5 to 3 billion dollar shift then if they go to
                                         
                                         17 games the estimates that they put together say that 17th game is worth another 2 to 3 billion
                                         
    
                                         that's how you get 48.5 would be the minimum if they went to 17 it actually could be higher than
                                         
                                         that it's a pretty substantial shift on top of that you've got increases in benefits you've got
                                         
                                         increases in terms of the player performance pool, a variety of other things,
                                         
                                         changes to training camp that's still under discussion.
                                         
                                         But some of the ideas include having less hitting early in camp, more days off early in camp,
                                         
                                         less time in the facility, a cap of how many hours you have to be in the facility during training camp.
                                         
                                         Those are all positive things.
                                         
                                         The question is, though, now for the 32 player reps who are going to discuss discuss this tomorrow in a conference call is it enough that 17th game is a pretty big change in
                                         
    
                                         working conditions did they get enough to be able to vote yes on this i can tell you it's not
                                         
                                         unanimous right now there are some player reps who would vote no they need 11 out of the 32 to vote
                                         
                                         no or to say they'll vote no in order to block it uh and they you know we'll see exactly
                                         
                                         how that all sorts itself out tomorrow a lot of the nflpa reps are all the nflpa reps are ogs right
                                         
                                         in the league so there's less time in the facility and less practice time that doesn't affect the ogs
                                         
                                         who it affects is the rookies a lot right because the rookies don't get a chance to get in there as
                                         
                                         much then they make little rules where there's like a rookie camp and rookie this and rookie that
                                         
                                         so all those conversations i feel feel like, you know,
                                         
    
                                         they figure themselves out with the timing and all that stuff.
                                         
                                         The money is where everything's going to fall into place.
                                         
                                         And if you look at Richard Sherman's tweets,
                                         
                                         and I assume he's a pretty large part in a large voice in the NFL PA's
                                         
                                         discussion, he is very anti the move to make that a say.
                                         
                                         Was that a, is that a for the brand mug right there?
                                         
                                         It was an NFL mug.
                                         
                                         Come on, Tom.
                                         
    
                                         I got to get one here.
                                         
                                         Please, anybody?
                                         
                                         Tom, you're working for the other team right now.
                                         
                                         Who are the main people on the NFL side that's negotiating?
                                         
                                         So in my eyes, from what I heard, Jeff Saturday stepped in in the last CBA,
                                         
                                         which, by the way, beautiful blue eyes, great teammate.
                                         
                                         He looks good with the gray beard he has now.
                                         
                                         He's a high school coach.
                                         
    
                                         From what I was told last CBAs, he came came in he had talked like craft and jerry jones basically and
                                         
                                         they settled the cba deal after luck i was a long time are those the two main names from the nfl
                                         
                                         side that are like yo we're gonna give you 48 and a half percent we want two extra weeks in this who
                                         
                                         is the main voice on the nfl side in this entire negotiation thing one of the interesting things
                                         
                                         here is the negotiations which go back almost a year. I mean, this all started last spring. There've
                                         
                                         been countless bargaining sessions and staff meetings. They've been far less acrimonious
                                         
                                         from what they were back in 2011. Like the sides that they've had a constant discussion,
                                         
                                         they've been able to make progress. They haven't, I don't make that face. Acrimonious,
                                         
    
                                         Google it. We're good. It has not been as negative of an environment as they have needed.
                                         
                                         They have not needed people to necessarily step in.
                                         
                                         There's not been that central guy.
                                         
                                         From all the people that I've spoken to, there's not had to be one person stepping forward or anybody.
                                         
                                         There's always back-channel discussions.
                                         
                                         I mean, that happens in any of these negotiations.
                                         
                                         But certainly Eric Winston's a big voice on the player side, along with Demore Smith.
                                         
                                         You've got guys like Russell Okung. And you mentioned Richard Sherman.
                                         
    
                                         He's an interesting position because he's part of the executive committee, the 10 guys plus Eric Winston that are negotiating the deal. He also is a voting rep. So he's one of the guys
                                         
                                         who can vote up or down on the deal that the executive committee ultimately is going to
                                         
                                         recommend here. So it's an interesting discussion. I mean, this is
                                         
                                         not, you know, door open and shut on this thing. This is a product of a lot of different discussions
                                         
                                         and there's still no telling how it's going to go tomorrow. So the owners are meeting today
                                         
                                         in New York. They're going to be updated on the state of negotiations, what is currently on the
                                         
                                         table. Expectation there is even if you don't have a vote today, they at least would be in
                                         
                                         position. They are thoroughly educated on what the current offer is they could vote once the players do then
                                         
    
                                         tomorrow that's where you have the 32 player reps who presumably if they think they've got the votes
                                         
                                         to pass it will take a vote and that's ballgame yes it has to go to the entire membership but
                                         
                                         if two-thirds of the player reps vote to approve you're not going to get over 50 percent of the
                                         
                                         entire you know 1700 guys to vote no this
                                         
                                         is so interesting because just a few weeks ago demorey smith i assume in a position of leverage
                                         
                                         demorey smith the nflpa president has been for like the last 10 years i actually heard his first
                                         
                                         speech at my rookie symposium and uh you know interesting guy the uh but he's done well i mean
                                         
                                         obviously jumping from 47 to 48 and a half% potentially is a massive increase in pay salary.
                                         
    
                                         This playoff thing sounds like both sides are all in on more games in the playoffs.
                                         
                                         It sounds like the NFLPA, the NFL are both very excited about another team being added to each side.
                                         
                                         Am I right with that?
                                         
                                         That was one of the first things that the sides were in agreement on.
                                         
                                         You can go back and read the story that Ian Rappaport and I wrote in mid-August.
                                         
                                         They had like five bargaining sessions and one of the things that was very clear was both sides
                                         
                                         were open to expanding the playoff field going to 14 teams in part because then that would make up
                                         
                                         the lost revenue for cutting the preseason to three games i had a talk with mark murphy about
                                         
    
                                         that at the november meetings and he said it's just not a good product why would we want to have
                                         
                                         a bad product out there like the preseason is now so you shrink that down you make up the revenue in terms of those extra couple of playoff games and then that
                                         
                                         in turn means by going to the 17th game the way that everybody involved looks at it is that becomes
                                         
                                         pure profit tom i'm going to show you something that i said in june of last year okay it's what
                                         
                                         june i believe 6th 2019 this is what I said probably after reading an article from you and Mr. Rapoport.
                                         
                                         I've always said this when it comes to the number of games thing for the NFL,
                                         
                                         which is always going to be a topic of discussion
                                         
                                         because there's so much money on the line, both TV-wise, stadium revenue.
                                         
    
                                         You're talking about everything.
                                         
                                         There is so much money on the line for adding games
                                         
                                         because you're adding a concert.
                                         
                                         You're adding a whole other concert for the band to perform at. And it's not just a
                                         
                                         concert that's live in person in front of 70,000 people sold out guaranteed for sure. It's also
                                         
                                         being streamed to millions of people paying millions of dollars for this whole thing. I mean,
                                         
                                         it is a massive financial decision to add a game or lose a game. I've always said this,
                                         
                                         let's meet in the middle. Let's make it 17 games.
                                         
    
                                         Let's add a bye week.
                                         
                                         So it is officially 19 weeks.
                                         
                                         So it's two bye weeks, 17 games.
                                         
                                         Get rid of a preseason game or two so that you have, like,
                                         
                                         two real preseason games.
                                         
                                         That third preseason game, treat it like it's the AAFL.
                                         
                                         Treat it like it's the XFL.
                                         
                                         It's just tryout guys, bubble guys anyways.
                                         
    
                                         Give them that game, but make sure
                                         
                                         fans know that this is going to be basically a
                                         
                                         scrimmage between players that aren't going to make this
                                         
                                         team or special teamers.
                                         
                                         Add a bye week. Have 17 games
                                         
                                         and let's just keep it moving going
                                         
                                         forward. Let's add a, let's in
                                         
                                         proportion add to the salary of everybody
                                         
    
                                         so you literally take no money out of
                                         
                                         anybody's pocket for another performance.
                                         
                                         Pay them for the bye week as well, and just keep it moving.
                                         
                                         Then we add an extra game.
                                         
                                         It's not 18, which is what the NFL wants.
                                         
                                         It doesn't stay at 16, which is what the players want.
                                         
                                         But it's a nice win-win for everybody.
                                         
                                         Tom, did the NFL and the NFLPA play that clip, you think,
                                         
    
                                         during their conversations?
                                         
                                         It's pretty smart, I've got to say.
                                         
                                         A lot of logic that went into that conversation.
                                         
                                         That all has been discussed, too. Adding the second buy has definitely been discussed. The
                                         
                                         thing is that the 17 games is not going to happen immediately. That's going to be a lever that the
                                         
                                         owners can pull. They haven't negotiated the new TV deals yet. So in those TV deal conversations,
                                         
                                         that's where they're going to figure out, OK, when do we want this? When's the most logical
                                         
                                         time? Is it going to be, as my colleague mike silver reported maybe 2022 that gives you two years to figure out the
                                         
    
                                         logistics of this you went to the second buy you can potentially have the super bowl on president's
                                         
                                         day weekend eat up another chunk of the calendar before everybody gets excited about the combine
                                         
                                         that guy's the worst this is a question tom speaking of the combine is next week like your
                                         
                                         super bowl how much news is going to break next week at the super bowl like are we gonna find out
                                         
                                         about tom and phil and where everyone's going next week?
                                         
                                         This is where the hype machine definitely picks up substantially
                                         
                                         because you have all the agents, all the teams in one place.
                                         
                                         The one thing to understand, this has happened before.
                                         
    
                                         It happened like five years ago.
                                         
                                         There's a really long break between the combine and free agency this year.
                                         
                                         Free agency doesn't start until March 18th.
                                         
                                         That's the latest I can ever remember.
                                         
                                         Combine and free agency this year.
                                         
                                         Free agency doesn't start until March 18th.
                                         
                                         That's the latest I can ever remember.
                                         
                                         So you've got like two and a half weeks or so before free agency after the Combine.
                                         
    
                                         So what happened last time was teams were really reluctant to show their hands to agents.
                                         
                                         Why?
                                         
                                         Because if you tell an agent what you're going to do,
                                         
                                         now we've got two and a half weeks to shop that around to other teams and say,
                                         
                                         hey, can you beat it? So this could be a little bit slower of a process in terms of what actually comes out
                                         
                                         in Indianapolis.
                                         
                                         But this is also unique in that this quarterback market has more guys.
                                         
                                         I mean, you're talking about some of the greatest players who have ever played the game, plus
                                         
    
                                         some young guys coming off their rookie contracts.
                                         
                                         Plus, you've got a really good draft class.
                                         
                                         This is going to be the hardest it's ever been to peg what happens at the quarterback
                                         
                                         position.
                                         
                                         The answers are going to be a slow trickle here over the next several weeks i would not expect to
                                         
                                         leave indianapolis knowing where all the bodies are going to be buried marquee names right now

                                         Now the fact that he's playing the game how he's playing it,
                                         
                                         I absolutely love personally because if the greatest of all time can do it,
                                         
                                         he should do it.
                                         
                                         And I like that he's in social media.
                                         
                                         He's engaging.
                                         
                                         He's kind of trolling people.
                                         
                                         There's no chance that he does all this and then leaves.
                                         
    
                                         There's no chance that he, the social media, the Instagramming,
                                         
                                         the Twittering, the goingming, the Twittering,
                                         
                                         the going to a fight by yourself basically to go talk to Mark Davis,
                                         
                                         all of these things, there's no way he leaves.
                                         
                                         He's just doing this strictly for leverage against the New England Patriots.
                                         
                                         Am I accurate in saying that, or is there a chance he actually leaves, you think?
                                         
                                         I never say never on anything in the NFL, Pat.
                                         
                                         And what I would say is Tom Brady, this is the first time in his 20-year career that he's been a free agent. So what's been communicated to me for the past month and
                                         
    
                                         change here has been that he really wants to, I know he said it publicly to Jim Gray, like he
                                         
                                         wants to go in with an open mind. That's really it. He wants to explore. He wants to know what
                                         
                                         are my options. Those start to crystallize now as we get through the combine, as more teams through
                                         
                                         one way or another make
                                         
                                         their intentions known. He just wants to know exactly what's out there. Having said that,
                                         
                                         you have to look at it from Tom Brady's perspective. He doesn't need money at this
                                         
                                         point. I mean, we all would love more money, but money's not like the driving force for Tom Brady.
                                         
                                         It's he wants to try to win more championships. He wants to keep proving people wrong. He's 42
                                         
    
                                         years old, going to be 43, wants to show that he can still play at a high level.
                                         
                                         Where is he going to have a better chance to win a Super Bowl than New England?
                                         
                                         Yes, they have personnel challenges.
                                         
                                         They certainly have challenges in terms of the skill positions.
                                         
                                         But you look at Bill Belichick, maybe the greatest defensive mind of all time,
                                         
                                         a really good offensive mind in Josh McDaniels,
                                         
                                         a system that Brady has played in for 20 years that you would then have to try to install.
                                         
                                         And, you know, yes, I mean, Peyton Manning went to Denver. He was able to install his system.
                                         
    
                                         You know, you can figure these things out. But at this stage, you don't want to transition here.
                                         
                                         How quickly can you ramp up? How quickly can you have that level of success if you go someplace
                                         
                                         else? Those are all the things that he has to weigh. If he gets offered an extra $1 million
                                         
                                         by the Chargers than what the Patriots are offering, I don't think that's the type of thing that's going to sway tom brady isn't it
                                         
                                         so interesting to think though that everybody who was going ring chasing super bowl ring chasing at
                                         
                                         the end of their career will go to new england right they're like all right going to new england
                                         
                                         to play with tom now tom is ring chasing himself and he's like is this the right place for me to do
                                         
                                         it at you look around they only got like 50 million in cap space that's that they only got like $50 million in cap space. They only got like $50 million.
                                         
    
                                         The Raiders have already reported that they're potentially going to give him $60 million.
                                         
                                         The Patriots said we'll give you $30 million.
                                         
                                         You got to pay him.
                                         
                                         You also have to pay McCourty, Tooney.
                                         
                                         There's a lot of people out there.
                                         
                                         I don't know how the Patriots have enough money to give him the weapons that he's looking for to win.
                                         
                                         If they have another year like they had last year,
                                         
                                         I would assume that this entire free agency troll bait thing that he's looking for to win if they have another year like they had last year i would assume that this entire free agency uh troll bait thing that he's doing is all for not and that's
                                         
    
                                         probably what everything's looming on is whether or not he thinks that team can win a championship
                                         
                                         well and why wouldn't you go and have conversations with coaches or gms and let your agent listen i
                                         
                                         mean go out and find out find out what people's plan is and figure out if there's any possibility that it's better than the one that you you have in new england again it's the first
                                         
                                         time he's ever been through it so he wants to go in listen understand what his options are i mean
                                         
                                         tom brady doesn't go up to the line of scrimmage and go oh i'm definitely throwing it to that guy
                                         
                                         before he reads the defense he wants to see what's out there and figure it out that's the way his
                                         
                                         brain works and so he's going to take the same approach to free agency so funny like 20 years of being under one place you have all these thoughts of what you would do
                                         
                                         if you had any freedom and he's just doing them all here he's like i definitely go talk to an
                                         
    
                                         owner at a ufc all right we'll do that i'll leave little droppings of tweets and pictures
                                         
                                         in different places yeah we'll spread a rumor with an uber driver in nashville that my family's
                                         
                                         looking at schools there i mean it's just like it's a never-ending cycle.
                                         
                                         I can't wait to see how it ends.
                                         
                                         And I know when it does, we'll look for NFL.com
                                         
                                         and NFL Network reporter Tom Pellisaro to break it.
                                         
                                         We appreciate the hell out of you, Tom.
                                         
                                         Thank you, buddy.
                                         
    
                                         Yeah, Pat.
                                         
                                         See you later, man.
                                         
                                         Great conversation there with you.
                                         
                                         Love to hear it.
                                         
                                         Love to hear it.
                                         
                                         We got to get a break.
                                         
                                         Love to hear it.
                                         
                                         We got to get a break.
                                         
    
                                         I don't.
                                         
                                         If he leaves, this is going to be a very, very, very aggressive move from the mass holes whenever this entire thing happens.
                                         
                                         There will be some fools burning jerseys, too.
                                         
                                         There already are.
                                         
                                         We already are.
                                         
                                         That was from New York.
                                         
                                         That was not a Pats fan.
                                         
                                         Oh, you looked into this?
                                         
    
                                         Yeah, I was a fake fan.
                                         
                                         Yeah, yeah. That was all for show. Every fake fan is Pats fan. Oh, you looked into this? Yeah, I was a fake fan. Yeah, yeah.
                                         
                                         That was all for show.
                                         
                                         Every fake fan is the ones that burn the damn jersey.
                                         
                                         I think at this point they'd have reason to do it.
                                         
                                         This would be the least amicable split of all time.
                                         
                                         He's toying with them.
                                         
                                         Is this worse than the LeBron James decision?
                                         
    
                                         Yes.
                                         
                                         Without question.
                                         
                                         The commercial?
                                         
                                         You forgot about the commercial, too.
                                         
                                         Oh, yeah.
                                         
                                         I'm not going anywhere.
                                         
                                         I'm not going anywhere is what he said.

                                         Everybody thinks I'm an idiot for this, but just hear me out.
                                         
                                         Can't wait.
                                         
                                         Old Phil down here with a freezing cold take.
                                         
                                         The Titans should not pay Derrick Henry.
                                         
                                         They should let him walk and let the Flash and the Pan Tannehill walk as well.
                                         
                                         It'll hurt the team, and Derrick Henry's just going to go downhill
                                         
    
                                         like all the other running backs. He said that they should not pay Derrick Henry or Ryan Tannehill walk as well. It'll hurt the team, and Derrick Henry's just going to go downhill like all the other running backs.
                                         
                                         He said that they should not pay Derrick Henry or Ryan Tannehill
                                         
                                         because Ryan Tannehill's a flash in the pan,
                                         
                                         and Derrick Henry, you just don't pay running backs.
                                         
                                         Phil, you guys at the Tennessee Titans,
                                         
                                         for how long have been this close to being good?
                                         
                                         This close to being good for so long?
                                         
                                         Every time we would come play, I mean, we won like 11 out of 12 against you guys,
                                         
    
                                         but every single time that we would come play the Titans,
                                         
                                         we're like, this is a very good team.
                                         
                                         It was always a very close game.
                                         
                                         Not always, but there was a lot of close games.
                                         
                                         It always felt like the Titans were this close to making it.
                                         
                                         You bench Marcus Mariota, who's been there.
                                         
                                         You bring in Tannehill.
                                         
                                         You guys end up in the AFC championship game.
                                         
    
                                         Now you're like, don't need him.
                                         
                                         Let's go back to our same old crap
                                         
                                         that we were for a long
                                         
                                         time 28 free agents he had he had 400 carries this year he's gonna he's gonna fall apart well
                                         
                                         i can understand that but you don't think he has at least another two years in him another year in
                                         
                                         him he just i think he just like or dead dead lifted like 7 000 pounds yesterday or something
                                         
                                         like that it seemed as if he potentially dead lifted 7 000 pounds pounds yesterday or something like that. It seemed as if he potentially deadlifted 7,000 pounds just yesterday.
                                         
                                         You think get rid of Tannehill, get rid of Derrick Henry,
                                         
    
                                         who are you going to pay?
                                         
                                         Are you going to give an extension to Mariota?
                                         
                                         What are you thinking is the way to work this thing
                                         
                                         for the Tennessee Titans, Phil?
                                         
                                         I think you've got to just take your lumps this year
                                         
                                         and then get Trevor Lawrence next year in the draft.
                                         
                                         Because I'm telling you,
                                         
                                         Derrick Henry is not going to last with 400 carries like this.
                                         
    
                                         I've seen it too many times.
                                         
                                         He won't last and you're making a mistake if you give him a big contract.
                                         
                                         I think, Phil, I like where your head's at.
                                         
                                         Because there is the question on whether or not a running back can sustain durability,
                                         
                                         especially when he's getting a lot of touches.
                                         
                                         With Damian Tomlinson was able to do do it he got the ball a lot down there maurice jones drew was able to do it for the jaguars for a while he eventually fell off chris johnson whenever he was with the
                                         
                                         titans was getting the ball a lot a lot a lot for a long time and then he kind of fell off this is
                                         
                                         something that does happen at the running back position but derrick henry i feel like he's just
                                         
    
                                         hitting his stride right now eddie george and he had that conversation what i think they're like week five or something like
                                         
                                         that or eddie george said hey you need to be a little bit more physical you need to do this
                                         
                                         derrick henry said this and he's become a completely different player in that i think
                                         
                                         you can ride the heat wave of him for the next two years and if he falls off after next year
                                         
                                         let him go figure it out but i think you give him a monster contract for the next couple
                                         
                                         years whatever derrick henry wants i think you give it to him for the next couple years now granted
                                         
                                         let's not get insane for a running back for the next two years i think you give him what you want
                                         
                                         and i assume ryan tannehill is going to take a team friendly deal i think you get those two back
                                         
    
                                         you already have a good offensive line now you got to deal with the other 26 free agents that you have
                                         
                                         but i think those two are very key pieces if good ahead. I was just going to say, after being on the precipice
                                         
                                         of going to the Super Bowl, I think the last thing in their minds is like, all right, let's tank next
                                         
                                         year. It's like, all right, we are in a nice little sweet spot here. Let's go for broke. Let's
                                         
                                         try to make another Super Bowl next year. You think Tennessee Titans fans are scared of success?
                                         
                                         Do you think Tennessee Titans fans think now that the expectation levels are too high,
                                         
                                         they want to reset them?
                                         
                                         Let's just tank next year.
                                         
    
                                         We were in the AFC Championship this last year.
                                         
                                         We came out of nowhere.
                                         
                                         Vrabel said on Bustin' with the Boys he was willing to cut off his penis
                                         
                                         to win another Super Bowl.
                                         
                                         Let's just tank next year so that we can relaunch
                                         
                                         to potentially get the AFC Championship game.
                                         
                                         That's not the Tennessee Titans fans I know.
                                         
                                         That's not the Titans fans that were booing me upon walking on the draft stage.
                                         
    
                                         That's not the Titans fans that just got a chance to experience happiness
                                         
                                         for the first time in a long time.
                                         
                                         You want them to tank down there in Chattanooga?
                                         
                                         Chattanooga, Tennessee wants them to tank?
                                         
                                         What are they doing down there?
                                         
                                         They're hungry now.
                                         
                                         They got a little bit of success.
                                         
                                         Now they want it consistently.
                                         
    
                                         Now they want Trevor Lawrence, the next pony.
                                         
                                         No, but the only way you get Trevor Lawrence is if you're
                                         
                                         literally the worst team in
                                         
                                         the league next year. They want to go from
                                         
                                         AFC Championship game
                                         
                                         to worst team in the league. That is
                                         
                                         what a fan from the Tennessee Titans says.
                                         
                                         Come on. You're also in a division
                                         
    
                                         that has the Colts and the Jaguars
                                         
                                         who don't really know what they're doing with their
                                         
                                         quarterback situation right now.
                                         
                                         That's up in the air.
                                         
                                         Granted, Deshaun Watson's really good.
                                         
                                         He's going to be there for a while.
                                         
                                         But they have a window right now where they can actually really go for broke.
                                         
                                         28 free agents is a lot of free agents.
                                         
    
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         I mean, I'm also not a fan of paying running backs.
                                         
                                         But, hey, if you get all this guaranteed money in the first two years,
                                         
                                         go for it.
                                         
                                         Yeah, I think you just give them a two-year deal.
                                         
                                         If you have an out in year three, go for it.
                                         
                                         I think you give them a two-year $30 million deal. Like, hey, listen, here's the deal. Here's two years go ahead yeah i think you just get if you have an out in year three go for it i think you give them like a two-year 30 million dollar deal like hey listen
                                         
                                         here's the deal here's two years 30 million dollars make it even you can even make like 80
                                         
    
                                         percent of that guarantee just be like hey we just need you for the next two years and then let's
                                         
                                         renegotiate again like i think if you keep that short deal ready to go i think derrick henry is
                                         
                                         just hitting his stride because if you remember years before this year when derrick henry was in
                                         
                                         the nfl they'd have a prime time game and derrick henry would pop off for 200 yards and then he He's just hitting his stride. Because if you remember years before this year when Derrick Henry was in the NFL,
                                         
                                         they'd have a primetime game, and Derrick Henry would pop off for 200 yards,
                                         
                                         and then you would never hear anything about him again,
                                         
                                         and the Titans wouldn't win, and then they would disappear.
                                         
                                         This year, he was doing what he was doing on some games.
                                         
    
                                         It felt like every single game except for, obviously, the last one where the Chiefs defense just absolutely stuffed him.
                                         
                                         But I think you can still get great years out of Derrick Henry,
                                         
                                         even though history shows that some of those deals don't end up great.
                                         
                                         You can't just rely on other people's failures
                                         
                                         to determine whether or not other people will be successful.
                                         
                                         He said the floor is Zeke's deal, and Zeke got $50 million guaranteed.
                                         
                                         How many years, though?
                                         
                                         Zeke, it doesn't say how many years.
                                         
    
                                         I think it was like six.
                                         
                                         Four or five, I think.
                                         
                                         It was four or five.
                                         
                                         And I would assume that if I'm the Titans,
                                         
                                         I want to work a short one with him.
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         But will Derrick Henry want that?
                                         
                                         I don't know.
                                         
    
                                         50 million guaranteed is a lot.
                                         
                                         That's a lot of guaranteed money, man.
                                         
                                         You know what Gruden said?
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         Now they're tossing out 60 for Tom Brady if they want.
                                         
                                         Oh, well.
                                         
                                         I've been tweeted by other Titans fans that said, that guy should never be allowed to speak about the Titans ever again.
                                         
                                         Phil, I like your style.
                                         
    
                                         I like your Southern draw.
                                         
                                         I like that you listen to the show and call into the show, but everybody thinks you're dumb.
                                         
                                         Speaking of dumb, this show is that.
                                         
                                         We probably missed a lot of things.
                                         
                                         To keep us caught up in all the news that we need to know, here's Nick with the news.
                                         
                                         So yesterday we talked about Brown's offensive tackle, Greg Robinson,
                                         
                                         getting busted at the border with a lot of marijuana.
                                         
                                         No one knew exactly how much it was.
                                         
    
                                         Turns out it was 157 pounds of weed.
                                         
                                         Yeah, I call that a Tuesday.
                                         
                                         I'm joking.
                                         
                                         I'm joking.
                                         
                                         That's a lot of marijuana.
                                         
                                         The thing that I'm very bummed about in this whole thing is the person that was with him kwan bray like real like actual friend of mine like um like i haven't talked to him
                                         
                                         obviously in the nfl whenever guys get cut or guys leave you don't have conversations with them as
                                         
                                         much as you should you keep up with each other on social media but you can be having lunch with
                                         
    
                                         somebody who you consider a very good friend and not see him for the next six years because he gets cut after lunch like that's just the way the NFL is
                                         
                                         Kwon Bray and I got very tight he was a returner I was actually the person on the team that would
                                         
                                         tell him where to line up after watching the other punter I was like me and Kwon were actually good
                                         
                                         friends Kwon incredible human being who has been through a lot in his life I mean if you would
                                         
                                         ever read his story it is a very sad one.
                                         
                                         This is, last night,
                                         
                                         whenever I read the police report,
                                         
                                         once Schefter tweeted out,
                                         
    
                                         by the way, Schefter just knows everything
                                         
                                         and gets everything,
                                         
                                         but once Schefter tweeted out
                                         
                                         that 157 pounds were found,
                                         
                                         I quote tweeted that and sent out,
                                         
                                         oh, that's all I said was, oh.
                                         
                                         Like, that is, this is like Hurd,
                                         
                                         I believe his name was, Allen.
                                         
    
                                         Allen Hurd, yeah.
                                         
                                         Allen Hurd.
                                         
                                         This is like real, like. Sam. Sam Hurd, I believe his name was, Alan Hurd. This is like real weight.
                                         
                                         157 pounds in duffel bags is straight out of a movie
                                         
                                         that you would never expect people who have good professions to be doing.
                                         
                                         So Sam Hurd walked out of a restaurant with a kilo of cocaine from an undercover.
                                         
                                         He was playing in the NFL whenever he did that.
                                         
                                         It was a mind-blowing thing. It's like, hey, you're in the nfl whenever he did that it was a mind

                                         jeopardize it by doing this or at least have somebody else do this this is the same question
                                         
                                         that's being asked here and the fact that i have an actual friend involved in this now has turned

                                         I was emailed.
                                         
                                         And I guess that's what happens
                                         
                                         whenever you just get money
                                         
                                         and it's found out.
                                         
                                         You just get emails from these random scammers.
                                         
                                         I was asked if I wanted to pay $250,000
                                         
                                         to go to space.
                                         
                                         So what I don't understand-
                                         
    
                                         I read it, I read it. I read it.
                                         
                                         What I don't understand is that like on their website right there was saying,
                                         
                                         take a walk in space.
                                         
                                         Like, do you not need to train at all to do this?
                                         
                                         Are they just going to send anyone up and like tether them?
                                         
                                         Be like, all right, go have fun out there.
                                         
                                         We're going to send Z up there.
                                         
                                         I think you do like a 10 minute pre-flight.
                                         
    
                                         Like what's going on?
                                         
                                         Space seat is going to be our favorite.
                                         
                                         Honestly.
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         They probably put you on that plane with the zero gravity thing.
                                         
                                         Well, it's kind of like what they quickly explained to you how the emergency doors work on a plane.
                                         
                                         Well, and also, whenever you skydive, you have to sit through a five-minute video that just tells you you're going to die for 45 times.
                                         
                                         And it's like, okay, well, I don't want to hear this.
                                         
    
                                         I already paid, and I'm overweight.
                                         
                                         By the way, I sat on the exit row on my trip home from Chicago.
                                         
                                         So I flew from Honolulu to Chicago.
                                         
                                         Very noble of you.
                                         
                                         Chicago.
                                         
                                         Well, there was no first class seats on it, by the way.
                                         
                                         So you wanted to save lives out of the entire exit row.
                                         
                                         They ask everybody.
                                         
    
                                         I would have had to open both.
                                         
                                         That person on the other side.
                                         
                                         Are you willing and able?
                                         
                                         Lied to that flight.
                                         
                                         That person might have been willing.
                                         
                                         They were not.
                                         
                                         And that should have been discussed a little bit more, I thought.
                                         
                                         I was like, listen, I'm an hour away from home.
                                         
    
                                         I've already been on a nine-hour flight.
                                         
                                         I've been gone for nine days.
                                         
                                         That sack of potatoes over there is not going to be able to open that damn window.
                                         
                                         There's just no way to do it.
                                         
                                         I've seen it in the videos.
                                         
                                         I've watched the things.
                                         
                                         I feel like it's going to take a little bit of effort.
                                         
                                         That obese individual over there
                                         
    
                                         Who is strictly sitting here for the extra leg space
                                         
                                         Is going to be the cause of my death
                                         
                                         I don't think so
                                         
                                         Ask them again and tell them to tell the truth
                                         
                                         There should be parameters for sitting in that row
                                         
                                         Yeah
                                         
                                         That whale should not have been allowed to be there
                                         
                                         Nick, Florida, what's going on?
                                         
    
                                         I want to talk about the fight coming up
                                         
                                         The boxing match
                                         
                                         Okay, who do you think is going to win?
                                         
                                         Oh, come on now.
                                         
                                         Wilder has no chance.
                                         
                                         Oh!
                                         
                                         Why do you think that?
                                         
                                         Why do you think that Tyson Fury
                                         
    
                                         is going to beat Deontay Wilder?
                                         
                                         Because I don't know much about boxing.
                                         
                                         I watched that news conference yesterday.
                                         
                                         I'll give my thoughts after yours,
                                         
                                         but I'm excited to hear
                                         
                                         why you think the Gypsy King
                                         
                                         will be able to knock out the hammer from Alabama, Deontay Wilder.
                                         
                                         Well, Fury is more of a boxer.
                                         
    
                                         Wilder is more of trying to knock you out.
                                         
                                         Interesting.
                                         
                                         Are knockouts good?
                                         
                                         That's how you win.
                                         
                                         That's a great argument.
                                         
                                         I believe that's how you win.
                                         
                                         I believe that's how you win it's a great argument i believe that's how you win i believe
                                         
                                         that's how it is it is interesting because wilder is like one of the most accurate and powerful
                                         
    
                                         punchers and fury is the best defensive heavyweight of all time let me tell you why i just bet a
                                         
                                         handsome amount on deontay wilder okay and now this all happened before i learned of how much
                                         
                                         money deontay wilder also has but i do know that Tyson Fury made a very large amount of cash
                                         
                                         for one wrestling match in Saudi Arabia and there was conversations being had I don't know Tyson
                                         
                                         Fury I have no idea who he is but people that know people that know Tyson Fury there was a
                                         
                                         conversation that Tyson Fury was never going to box again because of how much money he made
                                         
                                         with the WWE right so anybody that's having contemplations
                                         
                                         on whether or not they want to continue to do something
                                         
    
                                         that involves getting punched in the face
                                         
                                         whenever you've had surgery
                                         
                                         and you've said that you've been bleeding
                                         
                                         four or five times during your training camp
                                         
                                         automatically made me think like,
                                         
                                         oh, well, the other guy probably is fighting
                                         
                                         for a little bit more than this guy
                                         
                                         that was thinking about just taking massive paydays
                                         
    
                                         doing something else.
                                         
                                         So in my eyes, Deontay Wilder is going to win that boxing strictly because of that now i watched that
                                         
                                         news conference yesterday deontay wilder couldn't get about four or five seconds without getting a
                                         
                                         sentence out like there was a lot of questions but i think he's got a lot going on in his mind
                                         
                                         he wants to fight him tyson fury looked like he had a cut on his lip he had sunglasses on did he
                                         
                                         have a black eye he said he's been bleeding during his camp he looked a little bit heavier i think he always does i know nothing about boxing i just like to know
                                         
                                         think that i know a little bit about human psychology in my eyes deontay wilder thinks
                                         
                                         about that draw a lot more than tyson fury does and i think deontay wilder gets a little make or
                                         
    
                                         comeuppance in this entire thing but i could be wrong i know nothing about boxing but they got
                                         
                                         my attention yesterday
                                         
                                         when Joe Tessitore almost got swallowed
                                         
                                         between a 6'7 and a 6'9 guy on that stage yesterday.
                                         
                                         I just hope everyone has a good time.
                                         
                                         But I do know that it's impressive
                                         
                                         when you've had 42 fights and 41 knockouts.
                                         
                                         I think that's an impressive number.
                                         
    
                                         Yeah, that's boxing.
                                         
                                         Which is huge in boxing because everyone knows
                                         
                                         that the judges are about as crooked as they get.
                                         
                                         So if you let it go to the scorecards, you have no idea who's going to win.
                                         
                                         Yeah, I agree.
                                         
                                         And Wilder, you've got to think, even though it was a draw, he didn't knock him out.
                                         
                                         So it was more of a loss for him, more of a win for Fury because he got up after that haymaker.
                                         
                                         Yeah, well, both of them are yelling at each other about who made who more money yesterday.
                                         
    
                                         And I learned that Deontay Wilder is worth a lot of money, too.
                                         
                                         So immediately after placing my very, very large bet on Deontay Wilder yesterday on FanDuel,
                                         
                                         I learned that Deontay Wilder also a very wealthy man.
                                         
                                         I was like, well, that kind of ruins the theory I got going.
                                         
                                         So right now I'm just trying to speak it into existence that the hammer from Alabama is going to knock out the Gypsy King.
                                         
                                         I don't think that's misguided, though, because he still is not worth nearly as much as Tyson Fury is.
                                         
                                         Tyson Fury has like $100 million net worth or whatever.
                                         
                                         And people have no idea how much he made in Saudi Arabia, right, with WWE.
                                         
    
                                         People have no clue how much that is.
                                         
                                         Attention, everyone.
