00:00That sounds good.
00:01So, anyway, we got John Eric Sullivan.
00:02I guess we have unnamed sources in the NFL criticizing his moves
00:09from taking Malik Willis and not going with Quinn Hewers.
00:14So, this is all over the place now.
00:16Why didn't he just take a full cap hit this year on two instead of split it up?
00:23I'm guessing they thought it out what was best for the team.
00:26I don't think he does anything without thinking at all.
00:30And coming into this disaster of a mess here financially that he's got to clean up.
00:36And then the third one was he didn't get enough for Waddle.
00:39I love all these, whoever it is on these other teams that would never put their name on this
00:44that are coming out talking about these things with John Eric Sullivan.
00:50So, again, he really likes Malik Willis, he and his head coach.
00:55Second of all, he decided to split it up.
00:57They're still going to have a ton of money for next year, even with the second part of the Tua
01:03cap hit that they'll put on it.
01:05And the Waddle thing, hey, listen, it's great for them, Denver, and I'm a Waddle fan.
01:11Nothing bad to say about him.
01:14Number one is I don't know if he asked to be traded.
01:17There's a lot of people that have speculated that his agent did say he wanted out.
01:21But the second part of this is that they got a pretty good offer with a first-round pick, late
01:28first-round pick, 30th,
01:30and a third-round pick, which we like first, second, and third-round picks on this team.
01:35That's big.
01:38So, and John Eric Sullivan said, hey, man, it's going to be a good trade, but I got a hit
01:45on the first- and third-round picks.
01:46It was so refreshing to hear.
01:49He didn't, like, go around it.
01:51He just said, yeah, it's my job now to make sure I get a good first-round pick and a
01:56good third-round pick
01:57so that we can get our first draft class going and then make this thing fair
02:06so we don't get beat up in this trade.
02:09Hey, man, John Eric Sullivan said so well, said so nicely.
02:14I agree.
02:17Everybody just kind of forgets about this, man.
02:19When they take shots at John Eric Sullivan, he came into this mess.
02:23No matter how he handled this, there were going to be people taking shots at him.
02:28He came into a frigging financial mess.
02:36Not his fault.
02:37Came here.
02:38He knew what he was getting into, by the way.
02:40He got the green light from all the people running the team, owner, everybody else,
02:46to do whatever you have to do to clean it up, and he did.
02:50He got rid of a lot of people.
02:52Some of them we didn't even know.
02:55I didn't know until recently.
02:56They got rid of a lot of people.
02:59And he's getting his own people in there, and he is zoned in on this draft.
03:04And this is where we are.
03:06Yeah.
03:06People go, oh, that roster's terrible.
03:08Yeah, right now roster's not great.
03:09I agree.
03:10You're right.
03:12Again, you know the deal, though.
03:13Everybody in the league knows the deal.
03:14So when these guys take shots at John Eric Sullivan, I just, I'm going, man.
03:20And then the other stuff, bringing in the president of the team and all that stuff.
03:24Look at John Eric Sullivan's running the show.
03:27John Eric Sullivan is running the show.
03:29He's not looking around.
03:33I would like to think that everybody's on the same page on this one and that there's no backstabbing and
03:39everybody's going to do it the right way.
03:43And they like Malik Willis.
03:45And I love the fact that they've told you a zillion times they like Malik Willis a lot.
03:50They know him and they like him.
03:52And they think he's got a chance to be the quarterback.
03:56And others go, oh, I saw him in Tennessee.
03:58He's not that guy.
03:59And he, yeah, what are you guys doing?
04:01And then on top of that, when we gave him 23, we didn't give him 54 million.
04:05And we gave him 23 million for two years.
04:09That's it.
04:10That's it.
04:14So go get him, John Eric Sullivan, man.
04:16I'm sure he knows this comes with the job.
04:19And he also understands down here that we're in a serious drought of winning.
04:26I'm guessing he knew that when he took the job.
04:28Somebody, we don't have a day where somebody doesn't bring up, we haven't won a playoff game in 25 or
04:3226.
04:33I don't even know what's the number.
04:34I don't know if it's 25 or 26.
04:36Didn't they used to have like a clock or a calendar or something on the wall there?
04:40That's right.
04:40Mike had that.
04:41Mike had that.
04:41Do you think he took that with him?
04:45I don't know.
04:47Right?
04:48Didn't they?
04:48They had something on the wall or something.
04:54You're a bad guy.
04:57That's funny.
04:58That was funny.
04:59That was very.
05:02It's like that sign.
05:03Like, you know, a certain amount of days without incident.
05:05Like, Hey, all I know is, Hey, we're not only nice to players and we're going to pay most of
05:11Tua's salary this year to play for the Atlanta Falcons.
05:14We're such good guys.
05:16The highest paid offensive coordinator right now in football is with the Chargers and we're going to pay him 19
05:22million the next two years.
05:24That's when, you know, Hey, whatever, we're helping everywhere, helping you get your offense.
05:27We're helping your quarterback.
05:28Maybe in the whole deal.
05:30I still think there's a lot of intrigue around this season.
05:33That could have been a total mess, right?
05:36This thing could have been a, just a bottom out season.
05:38Now you got a quarterback that maybe he's the guy.
05:43These guys seem to believe it.
05:45And they were out of there in an organization that was, that is consistently good.
05:49What do you, what do you have?
05:51So me, I'm not trying to sell.
05:52Anyway, I don't care.
05:53But I had these guys, the last guy, last three guys standing yesterday at a Bose restaurant, man.
05:59The food was great yesterday.
06:01Um, the, the last three guys are there and they go, Hey, what do you think of these guys?
06:06Last question I got.
06:08And then, I mean, we talked for 20 minutes.
06:10I said, they're good.
06:11Yeah.
06:11I like them.
06:12And they go, you know, what's nice, man.
06:13I feel like he's talking to me directly.
06:15And I go, yeah, I feel that, that same way.
06:18I, I, he, he kind of tells you what's going on, how he feels about it.
06:22He's not hiding stuff from fans.
06:24He says, Hey man, we're going to try to win games with what we have.
06:28And hopefully our guys develop quickly.
06:30It's going to be a young team and it's going to be a cheap team of guys that are trying
06:34to get second chance.
06:35They've been role players, didn't have as big a role last year, get their careers going.
06:40And, uh, we're just throwing everybody in there together to compete, get better and win some frigging games.
06:45And, uh, the biggest thing is get enough around Malik Willis to, uh, to give him a chance to have
06:51some success.
06:52And that, and that may not be in wins.
06:55It may not be, but it's just too early, man.
06:59They've been here a month.
07:00Yeah.
07:01It's just too early.
07:02Like people ask you about them.
07:04Like, yeah, they're, they're straight shooters.
07:06A good guy.
07:07We've seen plenty of interviews.
07:08We've met them, but I mean, let's give them a shot.
07:11By the way, get into a training camp.
07:13Our general manager has been out there in front more in the first month than the other guy was in
07:18nine years.
07:19Well, I mean, for good reason, Chris didn't exactly nail those media availabilities.
07:26So, you know, the day after his press conferences were usually a bloodbath.
07:31You're, you may not like everything.
07:32John Eric Sullivan has to say, you may not like everybody takes, but he's taking ownership of everything, man.
07:38And he's telling you that, Hey, the Waddle trade is good for them.
07:41We know that because Waddle is a good player.
07:44He didn't, he didn't hide.
07:46He hasn't bad mouthed anybody.
07:47I do the bad mouth in form.
07:49He doesn't bad mouth anybody.
07:50And he, um, and he said, Hey, for this trade to be a good one, I got hit on one
07:54and three.
07:56Man, that's seems reasonable.
07:58Yeah.
07:59How about that?
08:00For a guy that I'm guessing did not want to be here.
08:03There's a chance that, uh, Waddle did not want to be here.
08:06That is true.
08:08There, there's a chance.
08:09And let me ask you played on, would you rather be at the situations at now or this one?
08:14Oh no.
08:14He's where he wants to be.
08:16Yeah.
08:16Matter of fact, he not, he, he almost handpicked it because he's with his best friend.
08:22He's with Sertan jr.
08:24Roommates and been together for a long time, going back to Alabama.
08:29They'll be roommates right away.
08:30And he's going to a really good team.
08:32I think they have the best all around team in, uh, in the AFC, not even close.
08:37I think they're clearly the best team in AFC.
08:40I'm guessing that a chant told them that he wants to be here at this point.
08:45Right.
08:45The way that they talked about him at the owner's meetings, he didn't say a lot of nice things.
08:50No question.
08:50They made, they made it pretty clear that he was going to be here.
08:53Right.
08:54They did.
08:54They did.
08:55Hey, you ready for a little Paul Maurice Panthers head coach.
08:59Coach got another good win last night.
09:01Boy, I'll tell you what, I'm sure coach thought he was coming on today and going to say, we're
09:04out of it.
09:05And yeah, we're just banged up and boy, I'll tell you what, they're a little feisty right
09:09now, getting off to great starts.
09:11These last two games and getting wins, man.
09:13Anyway, we'll talk to him.
09:14We got a lot of stuff to talk to coach.
09:15I hope he's in a good mood today.
09:16That sometimes a two to one win will put you in a good mood late in the year.
09:20By the way, I want to talk about Michael.
09:22Go.
