Russell Wilson was heading to the Broncos, like you dropped
everything. What were you doing? Were you with
the family? We were the kids, we want to show? I was at the,
I was, I left. I'd already done the show. It was, that was
Monday, right?
What the hell day was? And that was Tuesday, Tuesday, Tuesday,
right? So Tuesday Morning, of course, the Rogers news had
just come out.
So I was literally kind of texted. I was sitting in my
kitchen table. I was eating a little breakfast. I was reading
Football news. I was getting ready to die, making his bougie
coffee, my bujji.
We you know that exactly right. And I was trying to like sit
there and just read football. There's, I was about to dive
into some draft stuff and watch some film. And all of a sudden,
I got text, like,
boom, Russell to Denver
and I was like, wow, I mean,
kind of new kind of new, kind of knew.
Knew it was on the radar. I've been telling trying to yell at
everybody for the map past month, that Russell Wilson is
trying to get us, Seattle, right, you know? And people of
course on. So you're crazy. Doesn't really want that and
I believed you. Yeah, thank you. I know. You believed they could
I know.
Yeah, and so yeah, I knew that usually when I say things like
that. I have like some inklings from people. I trust that are
leading me
in that direction. So it wasn't a shock but I think Denver
legitimately. Hey, the first Domino was Roger's, right. They
wanted Rogers. It didn't work. They had already reached out to
Seattle. They are not stupid. They weren't just going all.
We're only going to talk to Rogers and we're not going to
talk to anybody else in football.
They had Plan B in place. And yes, they had already gotten
down the road a little bit with conversations with the Seahawks
once they realize they don't get Rogers. Boom, you get
Russell Wilson,
freaking Game Changer
Game Changer, and I think a blessing in disguise in a lot
of ways that they didn't get Rogers and he know me. I'm
a big Aaron Rodgers fan. Okay, because you and I both we love
the MBA. Yeah. And so now we're seeing these blockbuster trade
with superstars. And so we had Tom Brady going to Tampa. We have
Stafford going to La. Yeah, when the last two Super Bowls,
yeah, is that the same situation? We're looking at and
diverse when you add Russell Wilson, I think so, I think
you're going to continue to see this because it just like
the MBA. Yeah.
Guys get, you know, pinned with like, oh, you're a loser just
because the team doesn't and then the quarterbacks have got
to that point where they're like, it's not fair. That's
I got drafted here and we're not that good and you know, you
can't do that to me.
So that that is I think they're going to continue to make their
own plays there. Yeah, and and the only word the difference is
you're seeing it the NBA effect. Rip
Rippling over to the NFL.
I just don't feel like the NFL players are quite as willing to
be the bad guy yet, like some of the NBA guys in the NBA.
I don't care what you people say about me. Right? And I do
respect that. Damn. I earpiece came out. No, you're that
nervous. I'm good. No
wait, but I do want to add more to that conversation. And
because I just want to know where you think, then
the Broncos stack up with Russell Wilson, but I do love this idea
of like the NFL NBA. There's a little bit of synergy here and
we're seeing two superstars movie around node. I think
between the MBA, the, the heat, these quarterbacks take on
social media, right? And then you mentioned it with Brady and
Stafford the last few years. People are like the recipe.
It's
okay, right? Why don't we just do that teams onus it too. So
they're going to be ultra aggressive, like the Denver
Denver. Is there? Looking at it going? Screw it? I mean, does
anybody know? I'll go I'll Echo Ron Rivera last week at
the combine. Does anybody remember what the Rams
traded for Matthew Stafford anymore? No, no one cares.
They're just like a Super Bowl who cares, but I know what
tequila Stafford was drinking at the bar. Yeah, you do know
that 1942,
but but make some an instant Contender
and the Reason I say I think it's a little bit of a blessing
in disguise with Wilson over Rogers is you have a real
chance to build something with Wilson, Rogers? You could have
been in,
you win the Super Bowl this year and he might have gone.
I'm out of here, head and now you're going. Oh s.... We gotta
find another quarterback or two years from now. He might just
go, I've had enough. So with Wilson you have a chance really
to kind of formulate, a real culture with a team and
a nucleus with some of
the young receivers. And guys. They have the new running back
Javonte Williams and go. Wait, we literally legitimately can
have Something here for the next 6 to 10 years and that's
where I like the Russell Wilson thing. Let alone he's going to
fit the system and and the style of play and
they got some weapons around him that are real.
