So, you know, this trade was obviously with Denver and they were certainly blown away like, wait,

you're not going to trade jerry duty because of a madden rating and guys obviously woody johnson's not sitting there playing madden at 78 years old i mean if he is um that's that's cool uh but i don't think he is so the people that are are his teenage sons um he has an 18 year old and a 16 year old son who who He listens to a lot and he's been part of conversations in the building.

He's been in the draft room. He's in the locker room after games. The sons are part of it, which is normal, by the way. Most owners have their children part of the operation, part of their business. But there's definitely a lot of people that have worked for the Jets.

the currently people that work for them right now as well, who say that the teenage sons have a lot of juice in the building and affect a lot of the decision making. So I'd say the Madden nugget is certainly interesting. But to me, Dan, when I was collecting a lot of this intel The story about Mike White really bothered me.

And we dug on this, Mike Silver, Zach Rosenblatt and I, to just get a little bit more information about how Woody Johnson was treating his players. So if you recall, Mike White was a bit of a New York hero there when he took over as a starter and tried to get the Jets in the playoffs. He ultimately wasn't able to do it. And he's playing with broken ribs.

I know we talked about toughness a few minutes ago. And he was out there just battling through all of this. And the story goes, he came in the locker room, and he went into the shower. And right before he went into the locker room, he's throwing his helmet because he's upset, obviously. And Woody Johnson yells out into the locker room in front of his teammates, yeah, you should throw your helmet.

You suck. The Jets told me through a spokesperson that they later apologized. But that just tells you about the treatment of players in a building that I understand that owners want to win. I think we all get it. He's passionate. He wants results.

But to understand what was going on there and to treat your players that way, I think that obviously is something that does not reflect very well on this Jets organization. So that's just another part of this. And obviously, there's a lot more to it.

I can't wait, guys. Thanks for having me on, Meech. I'll be checking this out in a few.

Yeah. Hi, guys. So good to see you. I hope you guys all enjoyed your holiday weekend. Yeah, the... The Kirk Cousins situation is a bizarre one right now because we've seen some good Kirk this year, actually. There's been some moments here. Remember, he is coming off this Achilles. Started off a little slow, if you recall, but then he had some throws, some moments.

a bizarre weird off game for cousins i don't know of the atlanta falcons right now having conversations internally about benching him and and turning to michael panics at this at this point um obviously with him being there that we always knew this was going to be the story i even talked to kirk cousins this summer um just about that decision that the organization made uh in the draft to go for panics and how that's going to make it high pressured

It doesn't matter how much they paid Kirk Cousins. Just the fact that you have a talented young player sitting on that bench, the yells are going to get really loud when you're not performing well. And I think just big picture, though, when I think of the Kirk Cousins situation and I actually think of like remembering free agency and how he was the biggest name. You know who was not a big name?
