00:00There's some fun topics in the NFL, which includes rivalries.

00:02Usually it's one player yelling at another player.

00:04They're going to meet on the field on Sunday, and away you go,

00:06and you can settle your differences.

00:08Well, the differences weren't really settled because Russell Wilson

00:10didn't really like Sean Payton, and Sean Payton went the most to say,

00:13you know what, I don't care about the NFL Players Association.

00:17Sign this paper right here because I want you to make less money,

00:21and I will bench you.

00:22The union stepped in, weren't able to do it.

00:24It was an unceremoniously get the heck out of town.

00:26We don't care how much we have to pay you to go away.

00:28And Russell Wilson went over to the Pittsburgh Steelers.

00:31But understand this, that post-game press conference from Sean Payton

00:34was interesting because he was throwing a lot of shade saying,

00:37basically, man, you put Jackson Dart in there.

00:39I was hoping he had the other guy in there because this guy gave him a spark,

00:42and the other guy was basically a dud,

00:44only to have Russell Wilson fire back with a response on X, classless.

00:48But not surprised.

00:49Didn't realize you're still bounty hunting 15-plus years later through the media.

00:53Let's ride.

00:54This is the media exchange we didn't know we needed, Joe.

00:57Between Russ and also Sean Payton.

01:01Yeah, outstanding.

01:02But, you know, it's so funny because the level of, you know,

01:06talk between these two teams leading into this game was kind of over the top.

01:11I mean, you would think, like, there's some sort of crazy rivalry

01:14between the Giants and the Broncos because the trash-talking on social media

01:19between both these teams and including the coach now is just, it's over the top,

01:26but it's all good.

01:27Listen, it's entertainment at the end of the day.

01:30I'm not quite sure why bounty hunting.

01:33Like, you have to play in order to be hunted.

01:35Don't you, Russ?

01:36I'm just curious.

01:37Like, you weren't sniffing the field, and I thought it was pretty slick

01:43the way Sean Payton kind of took the jab underneath it.

01:46Like, yeah, they got a spark from Jackson Dart there,

01:49kind of wishing it didn't happen until later in the game.

01:52But, okay, he really, really wanted a shot at Russ, didn't he?
