Yeah,

it's a rough season with a lot of excitement, especially considering the the Nuke news and now we're worried about the front. You got a second year quarterback. It's tough. I

think he's in. He's like 2627 years old. And yeah, coach Brian Callen said he was really surprised by it. But you this happens in training camp player He came in he just said football is not for him anymore. The Lions and Giants are fine $200,000 each it's a lot of money for all their fights the other day of practice The NFL is trying to discourage fighting even though coaches encouraged fighting. I thought that was interesting That's a new wrinkle. And then I just want to say rest in peace to Dwayne Thomas who? an interesting place in football and Dallas Cowboys history, because he was an electric young running back when he came on to that team. But he also held out for more money and sort of had a holdout at a time when that was crazy in the NFL, just looking for anything. I think of him because he was a subject of a really good book by Dr. Z Paul Zimmerman. It was called Dwayne Thomas and the end of the Cowboys era, I believe. And it provided an interesting look at a unique player and it had a story in it that always stuck with me that the voters voted him Super Bowl MVP. And then because at the time Super Bowl MVP was sponsored by a magazine, it was called Sport Magazine. And the editor of Sport Magazine was worried that when Dwayne Thomas accepted the award later in the offseason at the banquet and the free car that came with it, that's a big deal for these players who were making like $20,000 a year, that he was going to fly off the handle or something. So he just made an executive decision and in the moment handed the award to Roger Staubach who went 11 for 19 for like 117 yards. And to Staubach's credit, he has one out of his way publicly to say that should have been Dwayne Thomas's award over and over. So rest in peace, Dwayne Thomas, an interesting guy. I do like to think about the history of the game. Yeah.

And it's unfortunate because there's a media environment that would probably be more, a lot more understanding and accepting of Dwayne, who was an outspoken athlete, especially black athlete in the early seventies called Gilbran, a I said, Tom Landry was a plastic man. And, and ultimately that, that level of honesty and access, you know, he had some trouble. He got racially profiled. They found some weed in the car. Right? It's a familiar story. But the, the way that the perception of him went out by a media that was not very friendly. I do wish that, you know, a lot of these guys had a different opportunity in a media environment that would accept them a little bit.

Yeah. So he had that rookie just outstanding season. And then the, in the off season, like I mentioned, he wanted to renegotiate and that just didn't happen at the time and called Tom Landry the plastic man. Oh, it takes some guts to call Tom Landry the plastic man in 1971. But if you dig underneath the hut a little bit, there was a lot of similar criticism about Tom Landry back in the day as great a coach, obviously, as he was. So rest in peace, Dwayne Thomas. And this one little thing, housekeeping here, Patrick. Before we get to the fantasy draft, I want Randy, Eric's back from paternity leave throw up on the board our graphic here, our team deep dive board, because I've heard from the fans. They're mad. Why did you spend so much time on the LA team? Oh, you're always talking about the Eagles. And so we've created a board. We're going to go deep on all 32 teams at some point. It's going to take a while. We can't do this all in a week. you'll see on the YouTube show we've highlighted. I don't know what color that is because I'm colorblind. It's green. It's a highlighted green. I thought it was yellow. See.
