00:24worse
00:24i know it was like better it was like a score like 700 i'm like this is what rico told

00:31it was ridiculous um whatever man it is what it is where do you want to begin all i ask

00:39don't ask me about tarik scuba please don't ask me about the detroit tigers or buying or selling you
00:44can do anything else you want to start this show you have as they say carte blanche so steve eiserman
00:50spoke no i'm kidding hey steve
00:57what you missed was actually something that happened on friday friday morning i'm driving to go get my
01:04haircut and i'm listening to costa and jansen and not costa but john jansen kind of broke some news
01:14question mark david do we have the sign oh wait we have john audio yes john he talked john came
01:22out
01:22and said something that made me go okay considering the source there may be some something to this hold
01:32on let me settle in for this so we saved we talked about it with mark ryan but i want
01:38to hear what you
01:38have to say about this even though i think i kind of know david if you would please
01:50you
01:58you
02:00you
02:00you
02:04you
02:06you
02:06you
02:12so for the first time ever under dan campbell the lions would have one of their star players
02:17do one of these i'm at camp but i'm not at camp pay me my money i don't think it's
02:23gonna go full
02:24brandon iuke but no we're not doing melting ice cream cones or empty closets of money right but
02:30it's the history says you've always taken care of your players earlier than you had to are you
02:37going to do the same thing with jameer gibbs and you know he's sitting there in the contest with
02:42bjohn robinson of who's going to be the highest paid running back so when john said that i was
02:47like look i still think the lions if i'm them he gets the franchise tag and after that we'll figure
02:55out what happens in year six but it could be a different running back between you know year
03:02four and year six yeah you have time okay so what i want to make sure we don't start the
03:08week on a bad
03:09foot what do you want from me before i answer this this this is like a trick question what do
03:15you want
03:15me to say michael i just i'm giving you an opportunity i said i think the lions are handling this
03:23right and
03:23i think even caller dj actually had the the compromise of okay tear his deal up now give
03:29him a three-year deal give him a signing bonus but that's it you're not gonna take it but other
03:34than
03:35that look and it's it's no it could be problems for the line no i mean i've i've made the
03:39point all
03:40along um and and maybe some people who cover the league would disagree i'm just he wants 22 a year
03:48that's the number okay saquon makes just about 21 okay 20.6 that's 22 a year now maybe you could
03:59massage that with a five-year deal and you go you say listen keep the change at 100 and you
04:04give them
04:05a hell of a lot of a guarantee rico okay as far as a hold in a hold out i
04:11don't care i'm not reacting
04:13to it but what what should the lines well i want to explain this you have to be willing to
04:19take what
04:20comes along with it right when we all talk about well the team should pay or they should draw hard
04:25those are fine let's talk what comes with it if he does not practice in training camp and goes weeks
04:31without practicing i can almost guarantee you a soft tissue injury i said i said that on friday like
04:38you want to go to garage and do some karate yeah no no but it's the truth mike it was
04:43just funny
04:44because i felt this news came out and i just kept looking at your chair like i wanted to snap
04:50you
04:50called me i would have joined i don't care no i i just i think the lions are handling it
04:57right if they
04:57do nothing now what will they do they'll cut the check so my question to you mike do you think
05:04this
05:04will become a problem for the lions and i'll leave this for the people too 248-539-9797
05:10do you see this as a potential problem for the lions this upcoming i think anytime you have
05:15one of your best players if this takes play i want to be careful because i and and as much
05:22as i may
05:22bust john's balls about certain issues again i i don't want to hang john out everybody i don't want
05:28to hang john out to dry sorry that was a tickle call um if this takes place john's not saying
05:35it'll
05:35take place if it takes place yeah it's a problem it's absolutely a problem because then that's all
05:41you're asked about your offenses and again we always have agreed preseason the practices are what count
05:47not the games and if you do not practice the the odds of being injured with a soft tissue injury
05:54a
05:55groin a hamstring a calfstring those odds shoot through the roof so this is going to be jameer's
06:01opus you know you feel like they're gearing him to get 350 plus touches oh yeah that was the thing
06:10that campbell did come out and say he's going to be our bell cow we're going to use him a
06:14lot more
06:14so he heard that and said well pay me my money right i i think i look i wouldn't pay
06:21it i would treat
06:22him like the bills treated james cook not giving you your deal you might be able to get it during
06:27the year not giving it to you now i'm just not doing it i but i'm i'm hey i'm not
06:32even i'm not
06:32going to yell at anybody it's a lot like scuba thing you want to keep him keep him i don't
06:35care do
06:36whatever you want i'm not paying a running back i'm not paying this guy 22 million dollars a year
06:40not doing it i'd use him up like yeah we got you now we got you next year and guess
06:46what i'll
06:46franchise your ass i don't care it's full dgaf for me i view running backs like toothpaste
06:53we're going to use the toothpaste and i'm not one of these people you get to the very last end
06:57and
06:57it's like a 10 minute operation to get another toothbrush out of it no i'm throwing it in the
07:00garbage i just i use a running back for six years and i throw him in the garbage no because
07:06there are
07:07people out there saying you absolutely have to pay him look at him he's a superstar of the team he's
07:12mr everything and i say how he comes into this year and how he is in year four basically what
07:19you
07:19don't want to do is sign that bad deal where he's just no good in those final years because
07:25when running backs go bad mike we've seen it they go bad quickly there's no well he was kind of
07:31okay
07:32he goes from being one of the top backs into the league to just off the cliff instantly can i
07:37make
07:38a prediction yeah can i make a prediction here i and i this isn't like garen sheed okay we will
07:45win
07:46i wouldn't be shocked the night before camp deal gets done okay like uh demo with respect to john
07:53i think both sides know what's on the line here i think i i think it's just one of those
07:58inconvenient
07:59things you paid everyone else mfs you're going to pay me right so i think the night before camp
08:10they get a deal done am i gonna like it no but i again i'm staying i'm not same here
08:18but i look at
08:19it as if you're smart if brad is smart you do the franchise tag and you let his contract and
08:27golf's
08:27contract kind of fall off because if this doesn't work you're in the rebuild mode you're in the rebuild
08:34business and you don't need extra money that you now have to pay to other people when now you're like
08:39okay we need to go out and retool this whole thing we're gonna get a brand new quarterback
08:44i just look at it that way whereas if the team is successful then maybe you go ahead and say
08:50all
08:50right fine like philly philly pays saquon they won the super bowl they don't care yeah and again he's
08:57not the same player they don't care right the lines are in a different spot um look i know i've
09:02known they're gonna pay him that's that's what i would do in reality are not aligned it's very
09:08similar to the scoobal thing he'd already be traded in my world oh but you want to keep keep
09:12him i don't care they don't even have a third bobblehead night i don't care anymore i'm so tired
09:17of it like i told you i'd strap scoobal and eiserman to a rocket and send a bolt to space
09:22i don't want
09:23to i just don't want to talk about it anymore this i'm not mad i just have a disagreement about
09:28how
09:28to handle it but i i true i don't think how about this i don't believe what john is saying
09:35will
09:35happen that's not a shot at john let me be very clear i don't believe an organization that has
09:41paid every tom dick and harry in this thing that they have drafted is all of a sudden gonna draw
09:48the red line on jameer gibbs i don't buy it i think the deal gets done the night before
09:54for like 27 million oh yeah you're not gonna like it but that's your money whatever you guys want
10:02i owe it to the listener i tell them what i think this is not a hill i will die
10:06on i'm not
10:07going to yell and scream about it it's silly could you make a case jameer could be the best running
10:11back in football this year sure i'll always go back to he was one of the best running backs in
10:15football last year and his team sucked and his numbers weren't that good you take out the two
10:20games against dog water that he went nuts he had three or four games above 65 yards rushing tell me
10:26again you win with running back you do not you only have four games where he averaged over five yards
10:31and if he goes for 2 000 yards this year i won't credit him i'll credit the o-line you
10:36win with
10:36the tip of the sword ask any big man ask anybody who's played that sport yeah running backs can
10:43extend place there might be a run or 12 where you look at jameer and he just shook a guy
10:49right out of
10:49his out of his sack and you go hey jeter respect kid the overall aggregate it's the o-line you
10:57say the
10:57same damn thing about emmett smith i could have put any running back in football back then with
11:01that cowboys o-line i could have put you you would have gone for 800 yards i think i could
11:06have got
11:06a thousand listen with that box fade you had you would have trouble getting a helmet 248-539-9797 let's
11:18talk about it do you believe gibbs is going to hold out you buy the jansen report do you want
11:22them to pay
11:23him is it gibbs at all costs are there any hardliners like me where it's like i'm not paying
11:29a run back i i'm fine talking about anything but school will start show that's all i ask i don't
11:35hell you could talk about kids on airplanes like cookies was he almost made heather's head explode
11:39i've never heard heather that angry she almost murdered cookies how dare you you don't know what
11:45that child's going through i'm like oh boy that might have hit close to home i think it did hit
11:51close to home she travels with her kids how dare you oh my god right because she knows wait you're
11:58gonna have a separate plane that me and my family can't ride on yes no all right just move on
12:0497-1
