Summary

A President Trump tweet on Friday forced Drew Brees to pick a side, and the QB did. Roger Goodell released a strong statement from the NFL, and Trump targeted him in another tweet last night. What does this mean for the NFL's upcoming season? Does this open the door to Colin Kaepernick signing with a team?

It is a Monday edition of Pro Football Talk Live, Chris Sims, Mike Florio, coming at you on what should be a quiet time in the NFL, Chris.

0:16.1

I haven't said the word slow time in a while.

0:18.1

There's been nothing slow about anything happening in the NFL or really

0:22.3

the rest of the world. Of course, I'm being sarcastic. And even this weekend, when things slowed down a little bit,

0:27.3

there was so much to digest from last week. There was so much to reflect on. And there's so much

0:32.0

to get up to speed on as we get ready for another week. And one thing we've learned this offseason,

0:43.2

0:46.6

You just strap in and you prepare for anything.

I mean, I'm with you, Mike.

1:46.1

I feel like we've turned the corner in a good way.

1:48.8

We've gotten a lot of people who may be on the fence to join the good fight or people that

1:54.4

were on the side of the people in the good fight, but kind of wanted just to stand by the
