Yeah, I don't think Brian Callahan getting fired was shocking.

It was just when he was fired.

There was a belief around the league that this regime, right, of Mike Berganzi, the new general manager, he's leading all this, wanted to keep Callahan to just kind of get through this season.

I don't think they believed in an in-season firing.

So to me, this is in defense of Schefter, by the way.

I think the reason why he said he didn't believe that there'd be a firing, because I think he also was aware that they did not want to do this, right?

So what does that usually tell you?

If the people running the show, we'll call it, are saying, we're not going to fire Brian Callahan, and then there's a firing, that reeks of ownership.

That's owner calling, going...

Yeah, I can't do this anymore.

And I believe that that's kind of how that happened and why that went down.

Also, Schefter's defense.

He did kind of shelf it, right?

Because he's like, I could be wrong.

He's smart.

Like, I'm an idiot sometimes when I do this stuff.

I'm like, nobody's getting fired.

Not today.

No way.

I had to do a better job because he's been doing this so long.
