So we got a few things to talk about here. Christian McCaffrey is if he for Week two, Panthers lose their best player. Now you're probably not aware that Derek Brown is their best player, but coming off of Pro Bowl season defensive tackle, he's gone for the year. Justin Fields likely to start for Pittsburgh in Denver. This was one of the more expensive tickets preseason because it was Russell Wilson going back to Denver and Bronco fans were ready to welcome him. And it's looking like Justin Fields will get the start against the Broncos. Also, the NFL is looking at a new Deshaun Watson lawsuit. It's new because it's been refiled, but it's from an old charge back in twenty twenty. There was immediate speculation yesterday out of Cleveland that this was maybe fed to the Cleveland media to bring up and now maybe away for Cleveland ownership to get out of this contract with Deshaun Watson. So the timing of this very curious. Yes, it's from an old chart. Now you know the Cleveland Browns ownership is already said basically, we don't care what he did off the field. You brought him in, you paid him two hundred and thirty million dollars. I don't know if you can go, hey, he's not playing well boy. We're really disappointed that this charge lawsuit from twenty twenty has come back up refiled. Now, is there a way to get out of this contract? I mean, I wouldn't put it past Brown's ownership that they would do something like this, and they're looking at buyer's remorse here with Deshaun Watson. But that came up yesterday. It was like, okay, somebody's refiling a lawsuit twenty twenty, and then all of a sudden, it's coud the Browns get out of this contract with Deshaun Watson. I don't know the legalities of that, but if the NFL's look into it, I guess there's the possibility. I don't know the language there with I don't know if they put any language in his contract. When you think about it, hey, we're going to take you. What you did off the field is criminal, certainly creepy, but hey, we're going to give you two hundred and thirty million dollars. We're not that bothered by it, And now all of a sudden, can you say you're bothered by it? Is there language in his contract that would allow you to get out from underneath a two hundred and thirty million dollar contract. Everything is guaranteed. I guess if I'm the Browns ownership, sure, I mean, my moral compass isn't pointing, you know, in the right direction to begin with with Deshaun Watson. So if you decide that, you go, yeah, let's get out of this. I don't know if somebody's going to go, Wow, what a lack of integrity. You've already shown it. You brought in to Shaun Watson. Now, he said he's got other things on his mind, a couple of deaths in the family. His father died, and he'd didn't play well. He hasn't played well, But that was not something that we worried about with Deshaun Watson. Deshaun Watson when he played with Houston played pretty well for a bad team. He didn't want to go to Cleveland. I'm told he wanted to go to Atlanta. Cleveland said, no, you want to go to Cleveland. Everything is guaranteed, yes, PAULI.

There's a couple of articles out there.

There's a couple of articles out there.

It's very a lot of legal ease.

It's very a lot of legal ease.

But to summarize, there's things in Shaan Watson's contract that under the category of default, like let's say you go skydiving and gets hurt. You know, the typical stuff that everybody has. But he has some things in there that the normal player might not certain things around conduct detrimental, being suspended under the NFL's Personal conduct policy, performance stancing drugs, et cetera. Also, he has a clause if the club reasonly believes that he's engaged in personal conduct, et cetera, et cetera. So he has a number of clauses in the contract that the normal player might not have because of his previous situations.

So he has a number of clauses in the contract that the normal player might not have because of his previous situations.

Yeah, but these are pre existing lawsuits. This isn't something new that's come up that to me is would be a non starter with you know, conduct detrimental. This was before you've already signed off on Deshaun Watson. You can't be bothered by one lawsuit if you weren't bothered by twenty three lawsuits. And I would say if something came up now, okay, you know, but they're talking about things that would come up now, player charged with indicted for convicted of conduct which would be subject to a charge, indictment or conviction or any such offense. Okay, I mean that's for the duration of his contract. But I don't know if Deshaun Watson disclosed things that were there allegations. Did they know this was coming, you know, before he signs this contract, before the Browns gave him the contract. I'm gonna guess you're not going to sign him if you think that there's the possibility that he could go to jail, be suspended. But now this came up, and it's from a charge a lawsuit in twenty twenty from what I've read, and the immediate speculation. Now, if he was playing well, people wouldn't care about this. But he has not played well. And you start to look at that Cleveland team, and they do have talent there. I know they don't have Nick Chubb. Amari Cooper is a quality receiver, he's not a number one receiver. David and Joku can be really good. Jerry Judy, I don't know if he's ever gonna be. I mean, he just strikes me as somebody who was fast at Alabama and didn't do much after that, and I don't know. It's not bad to have a third receiver like that, but I just don't know how much he cares about playing football. And then you got I mean, I got Miles Garrett. Like it feels like you have things. You went to the playoffs with Joe Flacco. It just seems like if you have Deshaun Watson back. I mean, it's not similar to Aaron Rodgers, but it does feel like they went to the playoffs with Joe Flacco Deshaun Watson there, they should be even better. The Jets won seven games with Zach Wilson. They should be better with Aaron Rodgers. But you know, the Cleveland Browns, they went to the playoffs and now all of a sudden you're looking at them now. Granted Dallas, Dallas is a better team, but Dallas hit Deshaun Watson seventeen times. It was the league high for a game. And if you say, well, compare the numbers. The next closest was eleven times a quarterback was hitting the game.

So that's a whoa.

So that's a whoa.

Stall a day, Stana Day, Stanaaday, Stanaaday.

Stall a day, Stana Day, Stanaaday, Stanaaday.

He says.

He says.

The stat of the day.

The stat of the day.

Stat of Theday brought to you by Panani America. I said it yesterday on the show, and Paulie goes, are you sure about seventeen? I go, yes, the Browns hit h He got hit seventeen times by the Cowboys in that game. Now you're going to be a little gun shy if just about every play you're dropping back to pass you're going to get hit. You know, you're going to start to think about it. You're going to get it down a little quicker. He looked uncomfortable the entire game. But is this about Deshaun Watson? Is it about the Cleveland Browns. It feels like, you know, the onus is on Deshaun Watson, like we're paying and he should be great. You're paying him, you gave him guaranteed. Now you were desperate. I got to factor that in as well, Denver desperate. I got to factor that in as well. With Russell Wilson, you know, these franchises act stupid. Sometimes brilliant businessmen to make billions and then they act stupid. I mean what the Giants did with Daniel Jones. Don't understand it. Don't understand it. And the Browns you spend that kind of money under Sean Watson I don't think you can be incredulous to say I can't believe it, because when I saw it, I thought, is this a new one?

Like?

Like?

Was he getting a massage in Cleveland? Now all of a sudden you got grounds to maybe terminate that contract. This is from twenty twenty, and you've already moved past this. Ownership wise, it's like, yeah, boy, that's terrible what he did. Here's two hundred and thirty million dollars. Come on in, all's forgotten with us. We don't care, yes, Marmon.

And it was guaranteed, and I'm sure other owners were looking at the Browns like, woa, this is the guy you're giving. First of all, don't give him guaranteed money. Don't give this guy guaranteed money.

And it was guaranteed, and I'm sure other owners were looking at the Browns like, woa, this is the guy you're giving. First of all, don't give him guaranteed money. Don't give this guy guaranteed money.

The ownership was not happy with that around the NFL, from what I'm told. But you see how much Dak Prescott's got contracts guaranteed two hundred thirty one million dollars. Do you think it's just a two thirty and then he coincidentally got a two hundred thirty one million dollar deal. I don't think so, yes, Paul.

What makes even worse for Cleveland is that they have to watch Baker Mayfield throw for twenty eight touchdowns and ten picks at one third the price.

What makes even worse for Cleveland is that they have to watch Baker Mayfield throw for twenty eight touchdowns and ten picks at one third the price.

Right. Yeah, uh so you know you have these contracts. The Cowboys officially tied to Dak Prescott for the next four seasons, and you know you have to these teams take a chance. Denver took a chance Cleveland. You know, they had to get rid of the number one overall pick Baker Mayfield to make way for Deshaun Watson, and Baker has played really well. Deshaun Watson's played thirteen games in two seasons. The Broncos whiffed on Russell Wilson. They gave him two hundred and forty five million dollars. The experiment lasted two seasons. They're paying him over thirty five million dollars to not play for them, to play for this Steelers teams are aggressive, but if we've learned anything from these quarterbacks, a proven commodity holds tremendous value in today's NFL. You got to overpay sometimes. Then there are times when you're going to whift. I just don't know how Denver can say, come on in and we got to trade guys. I guess it. That's a terrible deal. Deshaun Watson is a terrible deal. That's because ownership is desperate to find their franchise quarterback.

Yes, he when do we start looking at if the Broncos whiffed with their head coach, I would say the development of Bo Nicks. I mean, he probably bought himself two seasons because if Russ continued to play and play poorly, then.

Yes, he when do we start looking at if the Broncos whiffed with their head coach, I would say the development of Bo Nicks. I mean, he probably bought himself two seasons because if Russ continued to play and play poorly, then.

We would look at the head coach there. But I I mean when Sean Payton came in, he said, this is a mess and this coach that's one of the worst coaching jobs ever. And then Sean did not like Russell Wilson wasn't his kind of quarterback, and he was going to get rid of him very costly. But now you got your guy. Now you got your next Drew Brees or you better hope because if not, you'll have two seasons to prove yourself.

Yes, Mark, if you're a Browns fan, ooh, you're hoping that the Texans don't win the Super Bowl, like, oh, not a game.

Yes, Mark, if you're a Browns fan, ooh, you're hoping that the Texans don't win the Super Bowl, like, oh, not a game.

Well, there's a couple of teams like Carolina. Better hope that the Texans don't win the Super Bowl because I mean I watched when Bryce Young threw the pick six and he went over to the bench and it was like somebody brought their son to work day and he was just kind of sitting there, you know when your kids don't want to be someplace and they're kind of moping, and he just had this really sad look on his face. And I don't know him. I think we had him on during the draft, but I feel bad for him. Like there's certain situations where you go, I don't know if it gets any better. I don't know how it gets much better because it's Carolina. With that ownership. You lose your best player, Bryce Young goes. I mean imagine going to the line of scrimmage going, oh my god, I'm going to be running for my life. We don't have any weapons. This ain't Alabama.

You know.

You know.

Do I have any eligibility left? Maybe I'll go back to Alabama, Yes, Paul.

Do I have any eligibility left? Maybe I'll go back to Alabama, Yes, Paul.

It's like the lifestyle is so different for like brock Purty. He goes, I could run it, or I could drop back and comforty pass it to a number of people, and I'm probably gonna have a lot of time to do. So it's like they're playing two different football games.

Those guys and you know, here's the Niners with now Christian McCaffrey, and it's not a big deal. He may not play this next game. Okay, I get what other Let's say he was on another team. Let's say he was in Carolina. This would be a huge deal if Christian McCaffrey couldn't play.

But with the.

But with the.

Niners, all right, you know, we got this guy over here, Jordan Mason. He seemed to do really well. We're fine. I mean, that is depth, that is a luxury. Here the best player or the number one fantasy player, and you're like, yeah, okay, we'll see when he gets back. And this is one of those injuries that stays with you. I've mentioned before, if you have a sprained ankle, you're always going to have it because it'll be you'll be more susceptible to getting a sprained ankle. Now, this is tendonitis that Christian McCaffrey has. This has been there and going to be there probably his entire career. There are certain injuries that are lasting injuries, and this is one that will stay with him. They said it flared up, and in fairness to the Niners, I'll believe then that it flared up and then they decided they weren't going to have him suit up in that game.

Who's easier to interview if I said musicians, actors, athletes.

Who's easier to interview if I said musicians, actors, athletes.

I would say athletes number three, definitely. I'd say I'd say probably actors. Actors number one, then musicians than athletes. I feel like athletes are tougher because they've trained their whole life to be an athlete, not really talk.

You know, it's not a gift that they trained for.

So it's it's kind of they have great stories, but they're not really media trained. You know, where actors are and musicians. I think my favorite part is comedians, just because that's where I got my start and I get to goof off with all those guys like Will Ferrell. I can send him an idea, he won't even read it, and they'll just say yes, I go, no, you should read it first.

But I'm fascinated by all of them, you know, I'm interested in everybody I have. I once said Drew Brees on the show, and he was great, and we did a game where we were throwing footballs and breaking plates. Okay, very high quality television, and he was playing against Taylor Loudner, who was a great actor in all the Twilight movies. And so I picked up a plate and I threw it up and Drew Brees threw it and he missed. And then I threw a plate up and Taylor Loatner hit one. So now it's one nothing. Taylor Lotner second one.

Well, I I experienced that firsthand in Tahoe, of all places. I'm playing golf with him in a century tournament. I'd made back to back birdies. I'm on the fringe of the green with a chance for three in a row. He walks by me as I'm getting ready to putt, and he says, I can't believe that you could possibly have three birdies in a row, like with such disdain for me. We got done with the round, Jimmy and was so upset with his round. He parred the par five last hole and he walked off the green. He didn't shake my hand or Ben Roethlisberger's hand. He was so upset. And I see him the next day and I'm like, oh my god. The last guy I want to run into is Drew Brees. And I'm on the range and my caddie goes here. He comes. I go, oh my god. He walks by and he goes, hey, Dan, how you doing. I go good. He doesn't even say anything about yesterday. Yeah, and no, he got He did that whole locked in laser focus. Didn't even shake Ben Rothersberger's hand.

Okay, let's just get it over with. Let's just get it over with. How painful was that watch for you with Notre Dame against Northern Illinois.

I was sitting right in the stands there watching that, and uh it was. And you know, in week two of the college season, there were a number of big teams playing smaller teams that pulled out, you know, close wins. So my thought the whole time there was just get the win. Just get the win. Just get the win. It's all that matters. They went up fourteen to thirteen in the second half. I thought, okay, maybe they'll put another field goal on him, another touchdown on them, and.

Riley Leonard throws that interception that's returned thirty yards to the fifty yard line. A couple first downs later, they kicked the field goal, and unfortunately Notre Dame has done this before two years ago to Marshall certain Wiom and my son Mike and Jake were here as well, so it it was crushing. And I say this in all sincerity, congratulations in Northern Illinois. I mean they they outplayed Notre Dame. They out it wasn't fluky, it wasn't oh my god, all these turnovers. They outplayed Notre Dame in South Bend the first time they ever went there, and kudos to them, tip of the cap to them. Even Marcus Freeman said, hey, maybe we're basically reading the clippings, but coaching staff and players and they let one slip away. They won't let one slip away that they couldn't.

Yeah, but the good news is it's a twelve team playoff and you know your toughest game. I always say, all their toughest game is USC but then tell that to Notre Dame facing Northern Illinois, like, hey, week in and week out, you know, you just can't slip up. And they do this every year. It feels like there's that one slip up game where you go, what is going on here?

The problem with they should be able to absorb another loss and possibly make the twelve. But here's the situation. I think we'll only have two losses up to twelve, maybe a third depending on the season, but basically two losses and if Notre Dame. If Notre Dame wins out, they'll prop they'll they'll most likely be in if they were.

To lose another one.

You put that Northern Illinois loss up against somebody else with two losses and it's probably not going to be as bad a loss as Notre Dame was to Northern Illinois, So that could have them with two losses on the outside looking in, possibly.

Talking to Mike Golick. He is the co host of Gojo Golick on DraftKings Network and you can see it from eight am to ten am.

Match their clothes to go into walk into the game, you know, because they're on camera. So I do think players are more aware of style than they were years ago. But I think for the most part, once a game starts, they don't care. Ever, linemen are just trying to get air in their lungs, you know. Receivers are just trying to catch balls. DB's are trying to stop that. So I think once the game starts, No, they don't. For the most part, they don't care.

How closely are you watching the Deshaun Watson situation, that it's not about necessarily play on the field. Now you have this civil lawsuit that's been refiled, and could the Cleveland Browns get out from underneath this contract?

How closely are you watching the Deshaun Watson situation, that it's not about necessarily play on the field. Now you have this civil lawsuit that's been refiled, and could the Cleveland Browns get out from underneath this contract?

And actually Dan everything is about play on the field. Right when he signed with Cleveland, it was because he had a great year in Houston and then sat for games because he wanted to be traded, and he didn't have any criminal charges against him. They were all civil, and he settled with adding twenty three of the twenty four or twenty two of the twenty three, and the Browns and Haslam signed him because he played great in Houston. That's why they signed him and gave him that. Then everybody thought a ridiculous contract that was just just recently beaten by Dak Prescott and now the Browns they will look to try and get out of this contract because again of his quarterback play it being bad this time that they'll look for a clause or they have the clause or for a reason to get out of this deal now. So while it's horrendous of what went on off the field of which he was suspended eleven games, find five million dollars and we all know what he went through, but it's on the field Dan that controlled all of this, and fans hated it. Fans hated the fact that the Browns signed them. But then after a while, you're just going to root for your colors. You're going to root for your jersey and try and root for a win. But now that he's playing bad, it's like, hey, can we get rid of them fast enough?

And actually Dan everything is about play on the field. Right when he signed with Cleveland, it was because he had a great year in Houston and then sat for games because he wanted to be traded, and he didn't have any criminal charges against him. They were all civil, and he settled with adding twenty three of the twenty four or twenty two of the twenty three, and the Browns and Haslam signed him because he played great in Houston. That's why they signed him and gave him that.

Which NFL fan base should feel the worst today?

Probably Cincinnati though though Zach Taylor in weeks one and two in his time, I mean, Houston is one in ten. So that's a problem. That's a problem for the players standpoint of execute on the field and the coaches standpoint of not having them ready. But now New England, we know, even with Bill Belichick and girod Mayo, who was a linebacker coach under Bill, they're gonna have a tough defense.

But for their offense, and I know.

They didn't have T Higgins and I don't think they tried to run the ball enough in what was a one score game going into the fourth quarter. But they have perennially been bad the first two games. But to me, there was no excuse to put up the small amount of points that they did.

It's a gray area, man, It's a gray area. Was a gray area to me because I was a tenth rounder who started maybe half my career and felt if I left the field, I may not get back on the field. So players are in different positions. For the most part, players are tough and we'll want to work through.

Now.

Now.

What has helped is I was pretty much get the one to make the decision on whether I wanted to play, whether I wanted to take the needle take the pill, of which I did many many times to play. Now, you know, you hear coaches say it's the doctor's decision. If the doctor says no, then it's no. We could talk our doctors into letting us play as long as it wasn't too detrimental or you know, blown acl or something like that. But we could talk the doctors into a shot or letting us play now you can't. Now it's a little more difficult to do that, and you'll kind of have your helmet taken away from you, which, in all honesty is a good thing.

What is that like? How long does it take you get the shot to then you feel the numbness or you don't feel anything.

I mean there was a year, my year in Miami, I got the cartilage torn in my ribs, between my ribs in the in game one. I got shot up before the game and at halftime for most of the season, and it feels I mean, listen, you could hit me with a baseball bat and I wasn't gonna feel a thing. And I've had that shot up, my shoulders shot up, my heel shot up. I mean, I've had a lot of things. And I'm not saying this to say I was this tough guy. I'm saying this as this is what was done when I played. I mean, there was a needle going into somebody all the time. And people can think about it what they want to think about it. They said, well, didn't you think about what you were going to be like at fifty I said, I thought about playing on that Sunday And that was it again. Players are smarter tod and take care of their bodies better today. Don't get me wrong. It the shot though, worked. They numbed the pain. But man, when it wore off, whether it was on the plane ride home or in a home game, when I went home and went to bed, you definitely felt that that's when the pain pills kicked in, and that's when you know it could lead to opioid problems for players. It wasn't pretty, Dan, It wasn't a pretty way to go about your business.

Quarterback play in Week one, we're seeing touchdown passes down considerably.

Why, well, I think defenses are ahead of offenses. You're not playing your starters in preseason games as much, though. I get it to a point because practicing with a team for a couple of days before you play them in preseason I think is actually more important. But still it's not completely full go. It's not usually it's not tackling into the ground. You certainly can't hit the quarterback when you're practicing with another team, And in preseason starters don't play a lot. See Cincinnati and why they slow start one to ten in under Zach Taylor. In the first two weeks, and defenses are normally ahead of offenses, so I think that has a lot to do with it. I think we'll eventually go to an eighteen game schedule, will probably go down to two preseason games, so you'll get even less work by the starters, and the offense really needs to be in a timing rhythm. Defense needs to as well, but the offense with all the different parts, needs to be in sync, I think more than the defense, and they're just not getting the reps in preseason that they normally had gotten years ago.

The Commissioner has talked about the number of international games, and I was told by source that they're going to sell that package. The international games probably going to be sold separately. The question is how many countries do you think the NFL is going to try to play games in the near future.

As many dan as many as they can. I mean, they are trying so hard to globalize the game. I don't believe we will ever have a team overseas like Jacksonville in London, or let alone a division overseas.
