00:00An interesting story out of Cleveland. Mary Kay Cabot, longtime reporter, I think she's even in the Hall of Fame.
00:05She was there when I lived in Cleveland way back in the day.
00:08She's a very well thought of NFL reporter in Cleveland.
00:11And she put a report out yesterday.
00:13And it's got some levels to us. Let's go kind of one level at a time.
00:18Her first report yesterday is that as of right now, today, all right, they've got these like little mini camps
00:24happening post-draft.
00:26Deshaun Watson right now is viewed as QB1 over Shadur Sanders, period, stop, right?
00:33So let me just address that first.
00:35Yeah.
00:36Why would you expect anything different?
00:38Deshaun Watson has played a lot more professional football than Shadur Sanders has.
00:44When he was healthy before all the massage nonsense, he was an MVP candidate.
00:50Yes.
00:50Took them to the playoffs.
00:52Mm-hmm.
00:52So nobody.
00:53Took the Texas to the playoffs.
00:54Yeah, the Texas, pardon me.
00:55Nobody should be surprised that a guy that's got eight more years at the pro level than Shadur Sanders should
01:04look better than Shadur Sanders.
01:06And that's not a knock on Shadur.
01:08No.
01:08I'd be shocked if it was the other way.
01:10I agree completely with that.
01:10So we're in the same boat on that.
01:11I have no issue with that part of the – no, the reporting part of her statement, I have no
01:18issues with at all.
01:19Yeah, and I think that was a guarantee to me.
01:22Right.
01:22I'd be shocked if Deshaun did look better.
01:24Right.
01:25He's played more football.
01:26Mm-hmm.
01:26All right?
01:27And there was a point, been a long time.
01:29He was elite at one point.
01:30Where he was an elite top five quarterback, I thought, in the NFL.
01:33He's never – he's not been close in a long time.
01:35So let's just get that out of the way.
01:37Mm-hmm.
01:37Then Mary Kay Cabot, who, again, is a very well-thought-of reporter, she then decides to editorialize the fact
01:44that Deshaun right now is number one in the depth chart by saying, let the first-team offense start to
01:52cook now and just name him your starting quarterback week one.
01:58Now, that's where I have to question, why would the Cleveland Browns and Todd Munkin, the new head coach, in
02:07the last week of April, announce that the quarterback battle has already been decided?
02:15They've barely thrown the football.
02:17I agree.
02:18And none of the players are even really there yet.
02:20Right.
02:20Trading camp is still three months away.
02:23Right.
02:23So I don't get that at all.
02:24That part I don't understand.
02:25And the other part is, in the case of the Eagles, like Jalen Hurts' quarterback one, like we know, or
02:31even Gino Smith, we know that with the Jets.
02:33But you know what those two guys haven't done?
02:35Gotten in a ton of trouble off the field.
02:38Yes.
02:39Why would the Browns, in April, as you mentioned, take on any possible Deshaun Watson mess now when they can
02:47just let it play out in training camp naturally?
02:50Yeah.
02:50And look, he hasn't gotten in trouble in a while, but the trouble's still there.
02:54Right.
02:54Like, that's the first thing we think of when we talk about Deshaun.
02:57Right.
02:57And it's just, and again, this is a report.
03:00It's not the Browns saying anything, obviously, right?
03:02If the Browns have named Deshaun for the moment, QB1, that does make sense to everybody.
03:07Right?
03:08And Shadur Sanders had a tough rookie season.
03:11He didn't.
03:11Most guys have tough rookie seasons.
03:13All right.
03:13So that's the second part of the story.
03:15And then the third part of the story has to happen.
03:19Oh, boy.
03:19And again, I feel bad for Shadur.
03:22He's not the bad guy here.
03:24Not in this one.
03:24Dion, not the bad guy here.
03:26Nope.
03:27All right?
03:28Shiloh Sanders, who unfortunately did not make it to the NFL last year, got cut by Tampa early in training
03:35camp last year, or early in the preseason.
03:37I should say last year.
03:39He comes out in response to Mary Kay Cabot saying that the Browns should just announce that Deshaun Watson is
03:47their starting quarterback week one and says to Mary Kay Cabot, go make a sandwich.
03:53Okay?
03:55Now, that's...
03:57Why?
03:58Why?
03:59Like, again, I think we all got a chuckle out of it.
04:03It's funny.
04:04All right?
04:05But here's the problem.
04:07That makes it harder for your brother.
04:10Yes.
04:11That's all that does.
04:12Yes.
04:12It's also going to be viewed as sexist.
04:14It is.
04:15It is sexist.
04:16Because it is sexist.
04:17He wouldn't say that to a man.
04:18He would not say to a man, go make a sandwich.
04:21And this is one of those deals where, you know, you kind of lump the Sanders family into the same
04:27bucket together.
04:28And that's not fair either.
04:30This is not a Deion Sanders issue.
04:32This is not a Shadur Sanders issue.
04:33I haven't heard Shadur Sanders say peep since Todd Munkin got the job.
04:38And they met in that video we all saw.
04:40You know we wanted the draft, dude.
04:42That kind of thing.
04:42Yeah.
04:43But Shiloh Sanders, like, if I'm Shadur, I'm like, dude, I love you.
04:47You're my brother.
04:48But you're not making things any easier for me.
04:51Please don't do that again.
04:52And if I'm Deion, son, what are you thinking?
04:56Like, you got to know better.
04:57Like, the Sanders grew up under a media spotlight.
05:01They know that there's a segment of this population, a lot of them in the press, that do not like
05:07them because their last name is Sanders.
05:09That's a fact.
05:10It's sad, but that is a fact.
05:12It's true.
05:13Okay?
05:14Why would you give those people, you know, the oxygen to attack the entire family again?
05:22It's just stupid, Shiloh.
