To sit up there and to say what he said about that Shawn Watson, you're acknowledging his character.

But then in the same breath, saying that that's why you're disappointed in them.

Did it ever occur to you we might need to find out exactly what the president, what the Houston Texans did?

Cal McNair.

What role did he play in all of this?

How honest and truthful was he?

How upstanding was he?

What about Bill O Brien?

Hi, hiding in Tuscaloosa as we speak behind Nick Saban?

I'm telling you right now, and I was Listen, I don't know Bill O'Brien from a can of paint.

I'm not trying to cast any aspersions on him and in terms of his character or anything like that.

But I swear to you there is no way in hell he should ever get away with getting another job, a T least in the NFL, without answering what the hell happened in Houston.

Why is the Shawn Watson so completely done with this organization?

Janice McNair, the widow of Bob McNair, who owned the team God rest his soul.

What?

What does she have to say?

What role does she play?

What role did that McNair family play into Shawn Watson reaching this point?

The fact that Dick Vermeil brings none of that up and puts everything on the shoulders off the Shawn Watson reeks of somebody saying, Shut up and play.

That's what this reeks.

It reeks of what Laura Ingraham said about LeBron James and other athletes.

It reeks of that all day.

Every day you want to show on to shut the hell up, play football deal with whatever circumstances that you've been that that you're exposed to.

Don't hold management, don't hold ownership.

Don't hold anybody in the executive, the executive branch.

Accountable you as a player.

Be happy you got this money.

Now go out there and perform.

No wonder it took him so damn longer.

Win a Super Bowl.

No wonder why you had to have Kurt Warner and Marshall Faulk and those boys.

I mean, you got to be kidding me.

This is the and Isaac Bruce.

Let's not forget him.

This is the kind of stuff and that that really, really concerns me and Stefon Diggs said.

we living in a different age and time.

We know they folks wanted us to be that way.

We ain't having it doesn't mean you get irresponsible doesn't mean you act belligerent or truculent in any way.

Please don't get me wrong because you work for somebody and it respect has to be given.

But if you're done and you want no part of an organization, it is not a crime to say so.

And it's not a crime to say why.

I'm actually disappointed that the Shawn Watson hasn't come out publicly and really stated for the record what he feels even if it's on Instagram or Twitter say something rather than leaving it for your agent or somebody else to say That's my only issue with him.

But I got no issue with how he feels.

I got an issue with how Dick for Millfield, what he is expressed, and obviously, how that thought process was instigated, at least on a public level by Mr Brett Favre retiring and un retiring, holding the package organization hostage and all of that other stuff before he wanted out.

The nerve off these people the nerve.

Yup, I disagree with Dick Vermeil and let me say, Let's take this in conjunction with what Farve said yesterday.

Just brought it up.

Stephen A.

Yesterday far was talking about We get we meaning Farve and Shawn Watson and players get paid too much.

Thio have an opinion or to voice an opinion.

And I said at that time, well, then the owners should never voice an opinion about anything because they got more money than the players.

They make more.

If it's based on how much money you make, the more you make, the less you can say that fewer opinions are allowed that owners better not having opinion about anything like nothing like is, does the soup taste good?

I don't know.

I have no opinion.

That's how the owner should be except that we know that's not really what they're talking about.

Listen to Dick for meal.

You know they own the team.

If you want to call the shots, you go own the team.

So with far of also it's they pay us too much.

We are the hired help were the labor that's ownership.

They make all the decisions and can have the opinions because they have mask huge pools of capital.

We can't say anything now What Brett Farve and Dick Vermeil and I mentioned earlier an interview with Dick Vermeil not that long ago, where he admitted where he came from.

He wasn't starting on equal footing with everyone in terms of being sensitive, for example, to race relations.

He was, you know, there were.

There was there were racism for lack of a better word around him growing up.

And, um, and he had to learn as he was going.

So through the 19 sixties, when black student athletes were protesting, his opinion was, Hey, there on scholarship.

They should be quiet.

But he evolved past that position.

Stephen A.

So earlier in the show.

When I say I hope Dick Vermeil could get sensitized to this and evolved past this and continue to learn as his life goes on, he is still alive is that there's a huge overlap between labor relations and race relations.

This is a labor issue, but it's also a race issue, and the reason for that is because black people were once property right.

You talk about a mass pools of capital.

They were part of the capital pool that someone would own, basically.

And so they did this.

We're not talking about a group of people that started out on equal footing, and that's reflected in labor.

Look at the NFL.

70% black ownership, 0% black.

Dick Vermeil may not be sensitive enough to that issue he made.

He thinks he's talking about a labor issue.

Hey, where I'm from, you're just happy to have the job.

The Boston say what he wants.

You just put your head down and work.

But he may be insensitive to the huge overlap with the racial issue, which is The black people are always the labor and never the owners.

And so if if that's if you subscribe to that way of thinking, then what you're saying is the whole group of people shouldn't have an opinion and should have no control off their own destiny.

And eso Stephen A.

You're right.

If he's aware of that, he still has this position.

He and I just disagree.

I hope what's going on is he is not sensitized enough to that issue.
