operations, highest ranking female in a football executive
position in the NFL. Obviously a me Trask was the first team
president
of any NFL team that was with the Raiders under Al Davis, she
had been the VP of football operations with
the Eagles. And you know, something we've said about the Browns,
they need an adult in the room when it comes to decisions,
like what they did with DeShaun Watson,
I wonder if she had been in That job when they were
deliberating DeShaun Watson, maybe she would have been
the adult in the room that cause them to really understand
how these Domino's may fall moving forward because I think
they failed dramatically in anticipating
what was going to happen.
They need somebody there who can serve as a conscience
when it's time to make these decisions that could go Haywire
for the team.
Yeah, and I hope she'll be that person. Mike, and I want to
make one quick Point here. You know,
already know what's going to come for her and I know that
she knows what's going to come for her and she obviously,
probably doesn't care. But is, it is she qualified? That's
going to be the question. I don't know where I've never met
her in in until you pronounce her last name. I wasn't even
certain how to pronounce her
last name
and I don't know. Yes. Qualified or not. We well,
I can't and I think I remember when Roger,
L became commissioner and and I remember that was it was a good
little.
I did that for a while. Anyway, I'm sorry that's good. That's
don't assume that I pronounced it correctly.
I'll just get out to say that you pronounce it correctly, but
I don't know if she's qualified or not. Mike, but you think
about all the people in the NFL who aren't qualified? You know
why Jerry Jones has his job as GM.
He's the owner of the team.
It is he really qualified for that job. You know why Jack
Easter? Be has a Job as Executive, Vice President of
football operations because he's a good preacher.
There's a lot of people in the NFL coaches Executives who
aren't qualified for the positions are in and if she's
not qualified, she's probably going to be out of there pretty
quickly and on, to do something else if she is
qualified, she may become the first GM, real GM in the NFL,
female GM in the NFL Leonard tose
gave his daughter,
the job in 1983 with the Eagles. So there actually has been
Kind of sort of, but I'm rooting for her and I hope this
works out, I hope she is qualified and I hope she does
a great job and becomes really that Trailblazer that as you
said, Amy Trask
was high up in the Raiders Organization for a long time. But
we'll see what she does.
But I think this is a pretty big deal for them to do this
and maybe she can be that voice within their organization
to have some sense in what they're doing. It's dying to
help, but there's Sean Watson. Deal because that's that's gone
and it's fully guaranteed and he's there with whatever
happens but maybe in the future, she can provide some
sanity to that team when he won't try to do something
stupid. Nick. Caesarea the gym, the Texans made it clear
yesterday, there's no way the Browns, get a mulligan on this
trade. There are some
Browns fans that think, maybe this is a way out of this maze.
It's too late. It's over. It's done. They knew or should have
known exactly what they were getting into. There's nothing
that was hidden to them by the Houston Texans. They weren't
duped, they
They made the trade and pay the contract knowing exactly what
they were getting and they should have known or at least
should have anticipated that things were potentially going
to continue to go Haywire
because the media is not going to ignore the situation and
other people may come forward and file a lawsuit, you
mentioned, Leonard tose and he made his daughter, the GM. Look
nepotism is another
way that people who are unqualified and up getting jobs and
and as a reality, I don't know anything about her
qualifications. But we're all over Jackie's to be for being
clearly unqualified as he seized control as a practical
matter
of the Houston Texans,
we will call out nepotism. When, for example
in New England, you have an abysmal defensive performance,
give up 47 points to the bills in a playoff game.
You know, it's kind of thing that people get fired for well,
you're gonna fire Steve Belichick when the head coach
Bill Belichick. Probably not. So then you can't fire any
other coaches because you're holding them to a different
standard. And now
I think that's one of the reasons why
Know who the hell is doing? What?
In New England, it's harder to have accountability for any of
the assistant coaches.
If the head coach
has cloaked the entire operation in this mystery that
we can't figure out. What the hell. Anyone is responsible
for. It's hard to say, you should fire. Steve Belichick.
He's responsible for the defense
when we don't know who's responsible. For the defense
who's responsible the offense, who's calling the plays, nobody
knows. So
the point is, there are plenty of people who are in jobs in
the NFL
for which they lack
the qualifications.
And the question becomes.
If you can't do the job, will you be held
to a real standard of accountability or will? The
people who are in position to make a change, look the other
way and hey, Jerry Jones? Aye,
you know, it's funny because I had no qualifications to be
a reporter when I started into this business. But after 20
years, I've kind of figured out
some of the rules and how to do it and how not to do it. And,
you know, Jerry Jones after 33 years of being a GM.
That that's his qualification.
He had no business
giving himself the job.
First place, but I'd figure out after 35 years. You get an idea
of, you know,
how to do it, but that's not how it's supposed to be.
Yeah, well, and he knows that people to lean on now where
they can make the draft picks for meeting. Be talked out of
drafting Johnny, Manziel or whoever else,
who would Paxton Lynch, whoever else that he wants, he can be
talked out of some, of those deals. Maybe they didn't get
talked out of Paxton Lynch but I didn't think the Broncos for
saving them. Right? From Paxton Lynch, in said they
would have had Paxton Lynch instead of Dak Prescott,
so they should they should be very thankful to the Denver
Broncos
for trading up to get Paxton Lynch.
