So much to talk about Andy and I'm happy you're here as always. As a man, I didn't get to see you this summer when I came to Cincinnati. How you were recovering from surgery? You're doing fine, better? It's over two months. Things are great. I'm ready to run again. Are kidding? But if I do, the doctor said, I'll be back. So I had hip surgery, and, you know, it's an amazing situation. I get to the hospital at 10 a.m. I'm back at my house at 3. It's crazy. That's unbelievable. That is unbelievable. So I'm glad that you're on the mend and I'm glad that you're filling in today. All right, let's get started here. Let's do some NFL football. Let's start

there. Sequin Barclay, we all know, wanted a new contract from the Giants. They gave Daniel Jones,

who's a middle of the row quarterback at best. They gave him $40 million. Just, okay, that's nice.

But I don't think he's as good as a quarterback without having the running game

and when they didn't have Saquan Barkley that team was dog food last year they made the playoffs they

ran the football they controlled the clock it allowed Daniel Jones to run and just throw when he

has to Andy and the Giants didn't come to an agreement.

The league has moved into a situation where they don't want to pay these guys.

They use up the running backs while they're cheap and they don't have to pay them.

And then they'll dump them and go get somebody else.

And Sequin's not having it.

I applaud them for standing up, applaud them for wanting to be

paid what is worth is. And in an NFL where you need to run the football to win games,

sometimes, Andy, you know that, for them to try to devalue the running back position is just

ridiculous.

But anyway, you know, the only way for Sequin to show the Giants he means business is to sit out for the season.

Here's sound from a podcast where he talked about this.
