You know the same old stuff, the Hallmark card you gotta sign. He thanked his former co host Keishawn Johnson, Max Kellerman, my dogs and said respect to his brother. He also said this quote, this show has gone through a lot of challenges, It's gone through a lot of learning opportunities, as I like to categorize it, and it's been an absolute pleasure. All Right, I'm gonna bore y'all with all that, because you know, he had to say all that. I'm gonna tell y'all the real what's going on here. Look, he's been a lane up for months and that sucks, but doesn't suck so much compared to the working man working woman out there who like, sometimes you have to go through job uncertainty. In this situation, basically how I went down was they weren't gonna knew his contract, but they still wanted to use up the contract terms and services until it expired.

So basically, come to work.

So basically, come to work.

We the same to you, You be the same to us, do the same thing, except you know, this has an end date, This has a finishing line. Now why would they do that?

We the same to you, You be the same to us, do the same thing, except you know, this has an end date, This has a finishing line. Now why would they do that?

Right?

Right?

Other people they were like all right, some people they just said we're not renewing. Some people just said we're terminating the contract, etc. And then we'll have to talk after that. Why j will why just grow all the way through with it? I'll tell you why. In this situation, you didn't have to worry about Key Sean.

Why j will why just grow all the way through with it? I'll tell you why. In this situation, you didn't have to worry about Key Sean.

You didn't have to worry about Max Kellerman. And those are.

You didn't have to worry about Max Kellerman. And those are.

Obviously bigger contracts, So let's just start there. Max Kellerman also had his own show. Having his own show comes with production costs, comes with producers and researchers, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera. And you look at those three, Jay will making the least of those three. You say, well, at least he can keep the boat float right, keep the boat afloat. And the other guys y'all too heavy, y'all was sinking this ship. Even though it's not a talent conversation. The toughest part about this is wrapping your brain around why they pick him and didn't pick him or didn't pick her. Right, You're like, Jay Will better than some of the people on that show and some of the people on the network. But why Jay Will Keisha better than someone? Why Keysha Max is better? Why Max? And the decision making process is something that no one fully has wrapped their head around, seriously talking to execs before and just knowing them. Sometimes it's enforced from the top. We need to change the direction. Sometimes it's just the fact that hey, not moving the needle. But it's really difficult to look at the whole list of people that either had their contracts terminated or expired. What's the rhyme or reason for picking those guys. Let's talk through j Will's situation right now, because I've already heard he has a tremendous opport little shift in space, but a tremendous opportunity already on his plate.

The talent j Will Rolling, Rolling, Rolling. J Will all of a sudden finds himself in this position, and it's not due largely to just how good he is.

The talent j Will Rolling, Rolling, Rolling. J Will all of a sudden finds himself in this position, and it's not due largely to just how good he is.

You want to know why because there's some other great ones that they released as well. Now the dynamic of what Jay Will was doing, what can you do? You gotta show what keth Shan, you gotta show with Max that ain't gonna flow. So now what you're gonna do? Basketball? We let Jalen Rose go too, and regard it. Jayalen Rose was regarded hire in the company than him, So you can't really even search or figure out what's behind all of this. We know it's the cost cutting ways, but how do you call cut costs if you're also going to cut costs on someone not making that much money in the scope of things, And obviously we know other guys they're making a lot more money. So I looked at this situation as a whole, and I was like, damn, you knew Jay Will wasn't gonna last, and then it finally came.

So can't make sense out of nonsense, Grandma once told me, and I love that as a wilyism, just because you try to sit there if you. J Will, smart guy went to do obviously number two pick overall horrific accident, ended his career basically still became a great talking head and nowhere to go at least that esp N. So that situation, right there was just something I wanted to touch on, see what he's gonna do, and see how you guys felt about jay Will. Like I hear mixed things about j Will from y'all, probably everybody me too, right, But how y'all feel about this situation? And also these shifts, right, these changes, how do they impact you?

I just want to add this because I was watching College Game Day is that what it is?

There, and who doesn't have love for Leek corso 'specially with that big o'head thing he built on the mask out head. But then if you know a talent conversation, you can see all of them care taking Lee Corso because basically Lee Corso not he not at his best.

But do y'all think that that's fair?

But do y'all think that that's fair?

And even are y'all looking at that situation a little skeptical? Because I know it made me just think. I was like, there's people that just for whatever reason, you just don't let them go.

All right, Speaking of somebody looking out for himself, not you guys. It's Chris Chris Jones. Chris Jones is like, nahby, I'm good. I'm not playing for twenty million a year. I need MUCHAI all right. So Travis Kelce, the tight end for the Chiefs. He was on his own podcast, y'all know him and his brother, and he was like, I gotta express some concern and some issue that I have with Chris Jones holding out. And he said, Chris, can you please come back? You're really scaring me. Man, I don't get it. You must know something that I don't know, because I just don't get it. I really want to get another Super Bowl ring with you, brother, please.

Jason, and it's interesting how he said it.

Jason, and it's interesting how he said it.

If y'all caught what he was saying, he was taught talking about worry and confusion. I don't get it now. That's hard to swallow. If you, Chris Jones, and for me to understand, you're his teammate and you know why you're holding out, So what you're really saying is it's not confusing, it's why are you even taking that position? Like you're not confused? What it's about he mak it twenty million? Basically you saying no, you make it way too much to be holding out. You make enough, You make enough to be in here playing for us. You make it more than me. I'm a beast, I play a different position, So I get it. I ain't trying to count your money. I ain't trying to patch your pockets. But at the same time, I don't get it. We rolling as a team, we're trying to have this dynasty, and you making twenty Here's the craziest part about it. Jones was set to earn eighty million over the four year contract he's just signed, so obviously that makes you one of, but not the highest paid defense.

It's a tackle. Now he's one of, if not the best. Right now.

It's a tackle. Now he's one of, if not the best. Right now.

You can say Aaron Donald, you can say Chris Jones, but it's pretty much those two neck and neck, I would say, And it's just putting pressure on this team to try and cover that void.

You can say Aaron Donald, you can say Chris Jones, but it's pretty much those two neck and neck, I would say, And it's just putting pressure on this team to try and cover that void.

Looking at Chris Jones, you're like dog. You just has for the eighty million, got it?

Looking at Chris Jones, you're like dog. You just has for the eighty million, got it?

And now you can't even finish that deal and try to re up again. Teammates are being nice, Coach Andy Reid's being nice. What they want to say is, dog, you're being greedy. You're being Hella greedy right now and not thinking about anybody else. And that's the rub in a team sport, the ultimate team sport, where there's no iron team, but there is a me. How do you balance out? Yeah, I hear y'all, dog, but I gotta do me. And that's where Chris Jones is right now. So Chris Jones of this situation, they were talking about it to Andy Reid as well, and then he was saying, look, Chris has chosen to go this route. Some other guys have chosen to get their deal done and come in and play. I'm not here to criticize one way or the other. To think that you're gonna fill in for Chris. That's not what you're doing.

As long as he is physically in good shape, you can kind of start working them in and get them going.

As long as he is physically in good shape, you can kind of start working them in and get them going.

Then you play it by ear after that and see where he's at. Okay, so we know they played Detroit this week. They got the Detroit Lions on Thursday night, football, and they tried to fill in the gap, got Neil Ferrell from the Vegas Raiders. But the point of this is how these teammates and Andy Reid are biting their tongue trying to protect Chris Jones, when in reality, if you read between the lines, it's not that hard.

They are like, dog, is this how we gonna get down? All right?

They are like, dog, is this how we gonna get down? All right?

So I'm not a fan of holding out of a deal that you just signed and were a static to sign, like.

So I'm not a fan of holding out of a deal that you just signed and were a static to sign, like.

When you signed for twenty million at that time, WHOA.

When you signed for twenty million at that time, WHOA.

But I'm also not a hater of some one who stays locked and step with their market value and we'll reset it on moments. Notice, I'm a little envious to that guy, But at the same time, I think that guy is a little too gangster for me in terms of me trying to express myself that way. If I were Chris Jones, I would play this year out and I know I'm about to get another deal because that deal is over. But whether it's through him talking to others or him just knowing his leverage is so high, he like, I'm gonna strike wile Iron's hot right now. But I think for Chris Jones, it stays hot one because of his talent. Two is production. Three is position. You play d tackle dog. They gonna pay. You're gonna get your money, and your numbers don't have to be insane at Detackle. A lot of double teams, triple teams. You mean so much in other ways. The numbers that we don't count, we know your impact. So I know if I were his teammate, I would be like Travis Kelce or worse because I wouldn't even want to hide it. If I'm gonna say it, I'm gonna say it. If I ain't gonna say it, we're not gonna talk about Chris Jones. That's what I probably are dumb like now I want to talk about Chris Jones. And you will know why I don't want to talk about Chris Jones because I ain't got nothing good to say, and I'm gonna say you ain't got nothing to say good, don't say nothing at all. So this is a very impossible situation that fifty two other guys and the coaching staff is put in cause the Chris Jones. Now the flip is, just pay the dude, pay them thirty What do you want thirty thirty two? Pay them.

The money doesn't even become the issue.

The money doesn't even become the issue.

Fully, that principle is not the issue the al it's the le like dog. You just signed four years and you didn't finish that one. Well, now we're gonna re up and give you thirty and you gonna finish that one. What gives us confidence that you're gonna finish that one? So you know, holdouts work. I'm not saying you can't hold out. It's the spirit of why you're holding out. And it's the fact that you're holding out when before you got exactly what you wanted and that was more than enough.

Old habits are hard to break. But there's more to this one than just old habits, as I will discuss. So we saw him on the very first segment of first Take, responded to some Kansas City Chief Detroit lion question and immediately said skip to stephen A. And you know steven A oh no, we were good. It's all right, I get it. And then he just kept going and then it happened again. They came back at the commercial break. They were talking about the Jets and Aaron Rodgers and he was like, you'll skip, and he said it again. He was trying to bring up a story and interaction with NFL player Ben Coates, former great tight end himself. And then you know, Stephen, ay, oh no, it's all good.

And he was like, it's been seven years, Stephen. A skip And they went through that, right, real lighthearted, nothing major, but let me say a couple of things. You know, you never get a second chance to make a first impression kind of things. That's where nervousness comes from. Like the origins of nervousness is how do I impress? How do I show that I am prepared? How did I show that I am worthy? Right, even when you are as great and big as a Shannon Shark, three time Super Bowl champions, Hall of Famer, been broadcasting longer than he played, even then, he's still nervous.

So you've been trained to stay skip a thousand times a show because that was your catchphrase. Like my catchphrase is right, I say right a lot can many times I say right in the show. You'll be surprised. Right, let me stop. So the point is you got that going. So he was a little nervous. Whatever they drop soos, whatever did y'all catch this? So my introduction to their dynamic was watching Club Shaysha. When he dropped that, I think Friday, him and stephen A, and I was thoroughly surprised by their dynamic. I see a big brother, little brother dynamic more than I anticipated.

But the point is you ad Super Bowl Champion, you had, Hall of Famer, you had, You've been doing this since what CBS early two thousands with Damn Marino, like come on, dog like and I didn't expect that, But then it started to click and make some sense. I watched that interview in this entirety the Club Shay Shay one, and they were talking about how Stephen they kind of stuck his neck out, just went out there, not on a limb, but went out there first and broadcasted loudly. He wonted Shannon Sharp, and I was like, why is he doing that? Shannon Shark gonna get what he gonna get on his own marriage. He don't need somebody like throwing them.

I thought that dynamic was fascinating and telling. I think it was telling because stephen A was there for Shannon when Shannon was in a situation, in a pickle or whatever it may be, through the negotiation of the buyout. Right, That's why I claimed still that this was not abrupt. But this came to a head fast, all of a sudden.

Lands would first take, and then Colin must caught winning too. Hey, go do what you gotta do, big dog. I know I don't want to press you, but we hear at the volume as well. So just an interesting way that it's all playing out and playing through. But I laughed when I saw him just calling him Skip a couple times, as we all should, as Shannon gets more comfortable in that role. But I didn't know that that role was gonna be that slice of Shannon Shark like him looking at Stephen a like good looking out, big dog. I'm like, damn, I just know Shannon could get it with his own muscle, could get it with his own marriat.

How that plays, because if you start off like that like Stephen A is the big dog, big bro, what happens when Shannon grows if he grows in this role like he did and undispute it, or maybe because he's only on there for two days a week, he's already capped himself in that role. Just thought those things were interesting.

Is you got to make this product more viable, more exciting to people so that they will support and invest more in it, and then the numbers go up. So that's a tough complaint because you complain about something you can fix, but it's tough to fix it if the structure's not there, if the WNBA at large is not good enough. So it's not about the talent, it's not about the players, it's about the hell the product is doing what they're doing with the product, right, So they also have issues with the safety, talking about look before, during and after games, hotels we don't have the same safety standards that the other sports have as well. Schedule flexibility. They want that. They're talking about their travel. They gotta go way way cross country, sometimes layovers, not even a charter.
