  Speaker 1: Hey guys, welcome to The Daily Play with Joey Taylor.
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: Thanks so much for joining me. Mix sure hit subscribe
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: and follow us on social at The Daily Play Joy Taylor.
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: The Browns will name their starting quarterback this week, but
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: that's not what folks.
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: Are talking about.
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: Shan Watson stepped up to the podium on Saturday in
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: Cleveland after the Browns thirty one to seven loss of
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: the Bills, ready to respond to the booze he received
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: from the Browns home fans. He said, quote, the whole
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: world knows it has nothing to do about the performance.
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: It's a little bit more personal than that. So I
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: think it's a disrespectful things.
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: I mean, I'm going to keep whatever I feel with
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: me and my family internally and how I feel about
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: that and just move on. Last time I played on
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: this field, I tore my achilles, and that same fan
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: base they cheered when I got hurt. So what does
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: that have to do with anything about performance? When a
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: person gets hurt, especially for your own city, and they cheer.
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: So booing a player who is injured, or booing a
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: player returning from injury is not the best look in sports.
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: I do think that in a lot of cases, I
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: would tend to agree with a player who is saying
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: it this is classless or this is personal, and that
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: it's not right because these guys are going out there
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: and playing an extremely physical sport. It is a very
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: dangerous sport, and these injuries are nothing to be shy
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: about when we talk about how damaging they are to
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: your body, to your psyche, the recovery process, and so
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: on and so forth. I think DeShawn is overlooking a
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: lot of factors here when you're talking about Brown's fans
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: being angry or upset at him.
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: I do not co sign fans.
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: Cheering someone who is hurt, booing someone who is not
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: playing well is what fans are paying their money for.
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: Do we like it? No, But this is their team.
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: They're invested both financially, they're invested emotionally. They are supporting
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: the team, they are buying merch, they are showing up
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: like the fans are the reason that this word exists.
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: He's got maybe the worst contract in NFL history. He's
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: played nineteen games for the Cleveland Browns since joining the
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: team in twenty twenty two, and I haven't even mentioned
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: the part of what happened between Houston and him getting
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: to Cleveland, which we all know is playing a role
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: in this as well.
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: So he's finally available.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: They have Shador Sanders, who a lot of people, myself included,
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: feel has done enough to be in the pole position
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: for the starting job. And listen, you'll never find me
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: defending the Cleveland Browns. They habitually make terrible decisions, both
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: on a front office level and on the field. They
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: have moved on from players that have greatly contributed. They
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: do not have a culture, they are not a winning organization,
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: and so none of this is.
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: Really particularly surprising.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: I do think that they are going to force Watson
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: into the starting role to justify that guaranteed contract that
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: has basically turned out to be, you know, one of
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: the worst contracts in NFL history, one of the worst
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: acquisitions in the NFL history, and has given them really nothing.
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: Nineteen games is what it's given them. So I think,
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: you know, a little self awareness for the frustration of
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: the fans would probably go a long way when it
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: comes to Watson, and I am not going to be
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: surprised if this continues to be extremely toxic as the
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: season gets started. So another entry for the Cleveland Browns
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: mess file. It's not really about Cleveland, but a guy
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: that's currently on the Browns roster is going to play
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: for LSU this season, so you can tech, let's go
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: back to school.
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: But this does take it to another level. Tight ends.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: Dake one Wright has an agreement in place for the
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: twenty two twenty six season to play for LSU if
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: he clears waivers and the Browns have released him to
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: make this happen. Todd Monkin said, Man, isn't this bleak crazy?
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: I don't even know what to say. I wonder why
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: rate Lane Cliff Lane Kiffin reached out to me we
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: could go, and now I know I didn't calm back.
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: I guess I should have right played for Kiffin, the
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: first year LSU coach at Ole Miss in twenty four
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: and twenty five, and last season he had thirty nine
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: receptions for six hundred and thirty five yards and five
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: touchdowns for the Rebels.
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: This is ridiculous, but it is also a sign of
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: the times.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: This is happening in LA hoops as well. It's a
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: reflection I think of the amount of money that you
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: can make playing as a college player. I think it
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: puts a little bit more control in the player's hands
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: as far as you know, when they feel.
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: Like they need to join the NFL.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: You're talking about state of the art facilities in college,
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: state of the art coaching in college. And if you're
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: going to an organization that isn't going to provide that,
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: and you're not going to play, perhaps another year in
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: college is more appealing to these players. Now, I'm always
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: of the opinion that if you are a player that
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: plans to go pro, you get in the pro system
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: as soon as possible. You're going to be getting you
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: know whatever, however good the facilities are, however good the
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: NIL deals are, Like, there's a reason why there's professionals.
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: In college, Like it is a different level.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: But this does make things very interesting, and how this
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: ends up ruling out with the NCAA and the courts
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: will be something to pay attention to, because you know this,
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: this is obviously a real thing. Like this is a
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: player that was an undrafted free agent, but you know
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: is now going back to college.
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: To play another year. Really crazy.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: Finally, my Heat picked up Clay Thompson, one of the
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: greatest shooters in the history of the NBA. He will
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: poorly be playing his fourteenth season for the Miami Heat.
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: He will become a free agent after the Maps by
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: out his contract, and the four time NBA champ is
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: going to join Giannis and Bam.
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: And pat Riley and Eric Spolstra in Miami.
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: He spent his first thirteen seasons with the Warriors, winning
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: those four championships five All Star selections during that time.
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: In the last two seasons, he's been with Dallas, averaging
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: eleven point seven points and two point one rebounds for
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: this past season with the MAVs. He is not the
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: twenty point per game scorer he was in his Splash
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: brother heyday, but I think he can still really contribute.
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: He obviously brings a lot of experience and comes.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: From a great winning culture in Golden State, similar to
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: Andrew Wiggins. It was Clay's teammate for the most recent
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: Warriors title, and this is something that the Heat need
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: more of, which is a great shooter. He averaged twelve
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: point nine points and shot thirty nine percent from three
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: in his two years from the Mavericks, obviously down from
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: his career marks of nineteen point six points per game
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: and forty one percent shooting from the beyond the arc,
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: but still can really contribute. You know, He's one of
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: those guys that I think is a very intelligent player
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: as well.
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: And again, yeah he's not.
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: He's not Golden State Clay, but I think he is
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: going to do really well with the Heat.
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: The Heat know how to.
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: Elevate players and put them in position to contribute. And
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: when you're starting to look at the roster that the
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: Heat have put together for this season, you know, I
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: do think the Heat are going to get overlooked for
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: you know, the Sixers and the Spurs and the Nuggets
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: and the Knicks, and you know, these teams that have
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: all the buzz right now. But Giannis Bam, Andrew Wiggins,
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: Tim Hardaway, Junior Davion Mitchell, Bobby Portis, Klay Thompson Is
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: is a roster that can compete with any of those teams.
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: And you know, it is a very long season, a
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: lot of stuff happens. I am very excited about this signing.
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: I do think that's the shooting and the expertise of
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: this championship veteran will be really good and necessary for
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: the Heat.
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: So love the signing.
