Come for the sports, stay for the stories. Today's Eagles general manager, Howard Roseman, was asked whether he's open to trading A.J. Brown, to which Roseman responded, it's hard to find great players in the NFL, and A.J.
is a great player. That's what we're going out looking for when we go out in free agency and the draft is trying to find great players who love football, and he's that.
Chapter 2: What interest is Mike McDaniel generating in the NFL?
So that would be my answer. The question is, look, they understand that It's hard to replace, because I know what he is.
Yeah.
He's a proven commodity. Yeah. He's a pro bowl, all pro, Super Bowl winning player. Yeah. When he wants to be that. Yeah. And this year, for whatever reason, look, it's just hard.
Chapter 3: What insights does Demarcus Robinson provide on the 49ers' challenges?
I don't know. Honestly, I don't know what motivates. I don't know what happened. Because he's like, when he won the Super Bowl, he's like, it wasn't fulfilling. Right. Well, if you making money, you've been an All-Pro, you go to Pro Bowl, you win the Super Bowl, what is left? If I got a $30-plus million contract, I'm a Pro Bowl player, I'm an All-Pro player, and I'm a Super Bowl.
And the Super Bowl isn't fulfilling, but I don't really know what else there is. If you play a sport, Joe, you... Joe... you an all NBA, all star, you win a champion and you making $40 million a year and you win the championship and they come to you and say, Joe, how you feel? Like, it's not as fulfilling as I thought.
Chapter 4: What did Darren Waller witness during McDaniel's firing?
Nah, nah, I ain't going to say that. But I think, I ain't going to say that. I ain't going to say that. But I know for some guys, man, when they feel like they ain't balling or doing their thing out there, Man, they want their stats over championship. Now, they may not come out and say it, but that's what they want.
It's like, man, we won a championship, but, man, they ain't have but 20 yards and two catches. Hey, go look at my Super Bowl numbers. They ain't nothing, but I got three rings that I'm going to pass down to each of my kids. Hey, that wasn't, the game plan didn't call for Shannon Sharp to go haywire. Right. I'm okay with that. Because at the end of the day, I was making good money.
I've been a Pro Bowl player. I was an All-Pro. After you become an All-Pro, after you become a Pro Bowl player, the only thing left is to win a championship is to solidify.
Chapter 5: What does John Harbaugh's new contract with the Giants mean for the team?
Right. Make sure people know that all those catches and yards and everything that you was doing, well, yeah, you did that, but how many games did you win? Did your stats go to winning? Look at my numbers. When I called for 100 yards or called a touchdown, we won. That's all I cared about. I want to win. All that other stuff... That's why I didn't get up.
Look, and I look back at it, I say, man, I could have easily gone to John and said, hey, bro, hey, I need five yards. But I ain't never asked him to throw me the ball. Right. So they know what I can do.
Chapter 6: How does Harbaugh's coaching experience impact the Giants' future?
I used to get upset, Joe. You know, then I'm bull jotted around all game long. Now here come the fourth quarter, we down 14. You going to ask me what I like. Yeah, now they looking for you. I like for this game to be over so I can get my ass on that bus and get home. You should have asked me this in the first quarter. But y'all would have spread it around. Yeah, yeah. Hey, let everybody touch it.
Okay? Yeah. Keep doing what you're doing. Yeah, hey, look. But like I said, you know, some cats want a ball. Hey, look, I remember it too. You know, coming down, it's the last five to seven minutes of a game. Now, all of a sudden, everybody looking for you. They looking for Joe to get us up out this rut. Yeah, well, we've been doing the whole game.
Chapter 7: What are the implications of the latest NFL coaching changes?
Exactly.
Y'all could have been giving me the ball.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah, so I understand, man. I understand. Hey, we're going to run this over here. We're going to run this pit. Hey, we're going to run one, four, Joe. You at the top? Yeah. And look, we ain't ran it all day again. Why y'all want to run it now? Yeah. Yeah. I know exactly what you said. Yeah, we should have been running this in the first, second quarter, man. What you looking for?
I think your brother on the floor is sweet. He ain't sweet, but he down there. Fair enough. Yeah. No, this is not Thanos in my lap. This is Teddy Bear in my lap. The Athletic released a story today on Mike Tomlin's final team meeting with the Steelers players and the surreal scene surrounding it. Mike Tomlin told his team, I think it's best for the organization for me to step down.
TJ Watt had tears welling in his eyes and kept repeating, no. That's what's up, man. That's when you know your guys respect you, bro. Yep. They respect the heck out that man, man, and what he's done for that organization. Yes. Yeah, and as a player, it definitely hurts you because, you know, you feel like you was a part of him getting out of there. Yeah, that's why those guys so hurt.
They feel like, man, if we would have played at our highest peak, we could have avoided this situation. So, yeah, I can see why guys are really taking it hard. I've done that. I remember as I got older, I remember seeing Coach Reeves because the gym I used to go to, the church that he attended was right across the street. And I remember, like I was saying, it didn't close it down.
But anyway, and I saw him, and I remember going up to him and saying, Coach, I'm sorry. He said, Shannon, he's the only one that never called me by my last name or called me 84.

Chapter 8: How does the weather affect NFL games, especially in the playoffs?
He always called me Shannon. He said, Shannon, what are you saying? I said, Coach, I said, had I been the player that I became, maybe I could have saved your job. Right. And he just told me, he said, son, he said, that's nice of you to say, but you ain't got nothing to apologize for. He said, I'm proud that we drafted you. I'm proud of the player that you became. Same thing with Wade Phillips.
I was that player. I had became that player, but I did all I could. I had, you know, 2,000 yards receiving, had like 180 catches. It just wasn't meant to be. Like 178 catches, 168 catches. It just wasn't meant to be, Joe. And then we hit Mike. Because that happened on my watch. What could I have done differently?
And I know for certain, I'm not even sure, besides getting injured and having to take them, and I wasn't 100%, I do believe had I became the player that I later became that ended up going into the Pro Football Hall of Fame, I do believe I could have saved Dan's career. Yeah. I believe I could have saved him in Denver. Now, maybe at a later date in time, Mr. B won.
Maybe Mr. B just wanted to go in a completely different direction. Right. Maybe so. Because Coach Reeves had been to three Super Bowls, lost the AFC Championship game, so it wasn't like he was losing. But he just wanted to go in a different direction. But it's tough if you care. Now, if you don't care, some people are like, hey... Players get cut all the time. I don't look at it like that.
Hey, look, my first year in Brooklyn, when I got traded to Brooklyn from Atlanta, I played Avery Johnson was our head coach. Great dude. Great dude. Yeah. Accountability. Like, he going to be on you. Like, he going to ride you hard, you know, tell you what the do's and don'ts. But, man, he was a hell of a coach, bro. I loved him as a coach.
And for us to get off to such a slow start, my first year in Brooklyn, I think it was kind of why he got fired. Because it happened on an off day for us. I'm at home. I'm watching ESPN. Ain't nobody called and been like, oh, we're going to get rid of Avery Johnson today. I'm watching on ESPN like everybody else. It come across breaking news. I'm like, damn. So, yeah, I understand.
As a player, bro, you take heart to that. Because I'm like, yeah. Such a dope coach, bro. Former Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel has already become a hot coaching candidate after being fired just a week ago from the Dolphins. McDaniel is set to meet with the Browns, Ravens, Falcons, Titans, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero.
Cleveland may get the first swing at interviewing McDaniel as their meeting is set for Monday, the team announced on social media. He previously worked for the Browns in 2014 as their wide receiver coach. Kyle was the offensive coordinator. And he was the wide receiver coach.
Ocho, do you like the idea of Mike McDaniel coaching? Absolutely not. Absolutely not. All the teams you just named, I don't like it. But I do like one that you didn't name. Now, I saw the report. I don't know if it was false or whether it was real or not. But I saw... where he might have an opportunity to be the officer coordinator for the Detroit Lions. Now that I do like. Right.
