| 0:00.0 | Well, you never know when I'll be back down in the remote Olive Garden studio for an emergency edition of PFTPM. |
| 0:15.6 | But events require it today because we've been waiting for the NFL to respond to quarterback Brendan |
| 0:23.0 | Suresby's application for entrance into the supplemental draft. And the answer has come in the |
| 0:28.0 | form of the NFL saying, we're not going to have a supplemental draft, which means Brendan Sorsby |
| 0:32.9 | is not going to be drafted in July, which means he's out of football, at least as far as the |
| 0:40.2 | NFL is concerned, until April of 2027 when he enters the draft with everyone else who, |
| 0:47.4 | you know, will have played football in 2026. Now, the NFL also released sort of, it's technically not an announcement by the league, but when they hand it to NFL network, it is because it's all tied together. And I know that NFL doesn't own and operate NFL network anymore. ESPN does and the NFL owns 10% of ESPN, but it's still NFL network. |
| 1:12.8 | And anything that is reported by NFL network, especially when there's a letter posted, |
| 1:17.9 | a full two-page letter posted, that's the league wanting it to be out there. |
| 1:22.2 | They want everybody to see what their argument is. And this is how things work in the real world. When the business |
| 1:29.8 | people want to do something, they tell the lawyers what they want to do, and then the lawyers |
| 1:38.0 | have to figure out how to justify it in writing. What do we need to say to allow us to get to where whoever made the |
| 1:48.3 | decision and presumably this is a commissioner decision commissioner says this guy's not playing for us |
| 1:55.6 | this year how do we make that happen so the letter that was sent by one of the lawyers to Brendan Suresby communicates the reasoning. |
| 2:05.8 | And when you look at it, now remember, to the extent that they expected this thing to get out, |
| 2:09.7 | there's a PR component to it. |
| 2:11.8 | And the argument is, we don't have enough time to look into what you did and you've shown no accountability for your |
| 2:19.7 | actions and you abandoned your effort to try to play college football this year with the intent |
| 2:26.2 | of coming to the NFL. You know, we kind of saw the potential for this. If you look at some of the |
| 2:30.5 | pft items we've posted over the past few weeks. There was a way for the NFL to keep |
| 2:35.0 | him out of the draft. I thought they would either keep him out of the draft or they'd let him in and then |
| 2:39.5 | suspend him. They opted to just keep him out of the draft to not have a supplemental draft. |
