They've got some positives, but the team has been bad.

But to go 50% over, I want to know who they were bidding against and whether or not at the end of the day they were simply bidding against themselves.

I don't disagree with that.

And last year, Brady managed to avoid any of the blame for the complete and total train wreck that was the 2025 Las Vegas Raiders, even though it was the first offseason during which he had a piece of the team.

Owner Mark Davis made it clear last January, January 2025,

that Tom's basically the new right-hand man.

He's the guy who's going to stabilize the organization.

He's the guy who fills the shoes that were vacated by John Gruden when he was pushed out in 2021.

And it's amazing that Brady has avoided that scrutiny.

And I think one of the benefits of Brady being spread too thin, no one really stopped to say, hey, this is Tom Brady's mess.

Well, moving forward, if it is a mess, it's Tom Brady's mess.

And I think at some point, to do the job right, you got to be all in, which means giving up your $37.5 million per year from Fox and rolling up your sleeves and getting to work and not being involved in this and being involved in that and living in Miami.

You got to move to Las Vegas at some point.

You truly have to be all in to do it right.

But there's also a chance if you would ever do that, it's still not going to be any better.

Why do we think that because Tom Brady won seven Super Bowls, he's magically going to be this great...

leader and builder of a football program.

I mean, the Falcons are taking a risk that Matt Ryan can do that.

Was anyone else trying to hire Matt Ryan to come in and run a football operation?

I think all the way back to John Elway with the Broncos.
