00:00I have been gifted one of the best quarterbacks ever.
00:04How could I ever go to bed at night around the trade deadline and not do something like that?
00:11How could I ever live with myself if I didn't?
00:15I mean, if the Bills traded for Amari Cooper, okay?
00:19Does anybody...
00:20Raise your hand.
00:21Has any one person ever blamed Brandon Bean for that?
00:26I don't think so.
00:27I don't either.
00:28People have blamed him for other things.
00:30But, that's kind of like what you're expected to do.
00:33And if Amari Cooper hurts his wrist and gets old, no one blames you.
00:38I mean, I think I'm probably on the selfish side on the spectrum.
00:42But, I would do it every year.
00:45And it's not even, like, crazy in any way to make a trade.
00:50Like, trade a third round pick for a good player?
00:52Who wouldn't do that?
00:55Again, would anybody out there want to profess to us that they would not trade a third round pick for
01:03an immediate starter?
01:05A guy who had 1,200 yards the year before?
01:07Like...
01:08Is what Cooper was?
01:09For every reason, you would do that.
01:12Not the least of which is appearances.
01:16I'm alive here.
01:17I'm moving heaven and earth.
01:18And when I draft linebackers the next year, you can blame me all you want.
01:23But I did that.
01:28So, that's easy.
01:29And I feel like being...
01:31I've always given him this, whether it's credit or not, but I've always had this opinion of him that, whether
01:39it's because of appearances or not, I think it's in his makeup.
01:44That he...
01:45And this is...
01:46I feel like this is a good thing.
01:47I would want any general manager of my teams.
01:50I kind of thought it was Kekalainen, but I don't know anymore.
01:53They just don't do anything.
01:55But...
01:55The...
