Thanks for choosing Felger and Maz to entertain my nickname is Kloon and inform you in the afternoon.

Notary 5, the Sports Hub.

Mostly on the Kyrie story today.

Also hitting on just the Tom Brady stuff and what are the Patriots doing this offseason.

It's sort of crystallized to me.

It's just crystallizing.

That they're going ahead and planning for the future. And if that leaves Brady sort of high and dry in the short term, they're okay with that because it's not about Brady. It's about the team. And it's about the long-term future of the team. And so their job is not to give Tom Brady the best send-off. their job is to be the best they can be over the next five to ten years over the long haul.

And that's what they would normally do, and that's what they're going to do, even though the quarterback's 41 and only has a year or two left. And even though they traded the future quarterback just six months ago. So I know it sounds incongruous, and I think trading Garoppola was a mistake, an understandable mistake, but why compound a mistake with another one? And a mistake would be turning down that Rams deal so you can keep Brandon Cooks with Tom Brady. Like that would be a mistake. Or giving Nate sold to that money, that would be a mistake. Yeah, I don't know about Solder. That would be a mistake. The Cook's thing was a slam dunk deal for them. That's a great return. But that's a future move, not a present move.

It didn't make them better in the short term.

Well, as long as they're going to take a defensive player, like I think that they're going to.

I have to assume you're going to shore up this defense to get better.

It could make them better if they draft a real stud at 23.

You know, okay, so I mean, that is yet to be determined.

They're not going to get better at left tackle, right?

So, I mean, they just, they be determined. They're not going to get better at left tackle, right?

So, I mean, they just, they're, what's best for Brady is to give sold to that money, and they won't do it. Yeah, they screw that up. Okay, so they would say we're doing what we should do, and that is plan for the future. And I, you know what, I agree with them, if that's what they're doing. Well, look, after watching that defense playing the Super Bowl, how can you... I mean, just to get Brady one more, what's the diff?

You've done one, six.

You're the best

of all time. He's the best of all time. There's nothing left to prove there. There's nothing left to, there's no other... You're on top of the scoreboard. He's on top of the scoreboard. Now are you just patting the lead.

No, they should have won six.

So you're going to sacrifice, what, some future stuff just to say it's seven versus six?
