You know, a nine figure deal and was crying on appreciative of the organization in 18 in, ah, one season later, he wants out, won't return their phone calls has nothing to do with them.

That's not about a four and 12 record.

That's about something more than that, whether it's being lied to or the treatment of him.

That says, That's what that says to me.

And when Adam Schefter highlight, Adam Schefter highlights that numerous players feel this way.

He didn't go to the demographics of it all, and I totally understand that.

But the Shawn Watson, to feel the way that he feels Onda come across is so offended by the organization, um, the manner in which they've been treated.

I think we're gonna find out a lot of things.

And I think the fact that they hired a 65 year old black coach who had never been a coordinator, offensive or defensive and he's your head coach and then that morning that following morning is when all of this comes out in an official capacity about Shawn Watson.

That's telling me something about the Texans organization and black players, and all I'll say about it is that I'd love to find out more.

I do not know, but something smells my nostrils.

I feel like I could sense that stench right now.

Something smells, something ain't right.

And I want to find out what that is.

And I promise you, I'm not going to rest until I do.

Well, as you might say, Stephen A let me put it mawr directly.

Something stinks.

And look, this is this is what it looks like right now.

Let me just tell you what it looks like from where I'm sitting.

Stephen A.

You reported earlier that it was not the Shawn Watson who leaked the information that he'd actually requested a trade weeks ago, but now it's public.

So what does that look like?

The team hires a black head coach.

Look, everybody, there's no no issue here.

Nothing to see here, you know.

Please disperse.

Right?

Okay.

The coaches 65 years old.

That means he's not in their long term plans.

Don't be slick.

Guys like everyone sees what that is.

He's 65 years.

I feel very good for him.

He made it to the top of the NFL.

That's awesome.

You got a head coaching job and it's a black head coach.

That's important.

But he's 65 adding a 10 year plan.

You said earlier, even it might not even be a five year plan.

And D Shawn Watson didn't come out anything.

They now outed to Shawn Watson his trade request, which means it seems like they're trying to frame it.

Look at the Shawn Watson.

What's the problem?

What does he want from us?

Look, we have a black head coach, and that's what it looks like from where I'm sitting, Damien.

Finally, I'll say we're about a witness, the biggest trade in NFL history.

There's never, ever been a commodity like this in the NFL superstar quarterback in his prime, 25 years old, who's been traded.

It's gonna be a first.

I agree with you.

I think you're exactly right.

My question and my question is, where did it all go wrong for the Houston Texans?

Where did it all go wrong for the Houston Texans?

To the point where you had a superstar quarterback signed up to a long term extension?

Ah, top five quarterback go entering in his prime, and now he's demanding a trade.

I'm gonna repeat again what I said earlier in the show.

You have J.

J.

Watt apologizing for the season that the team had around the Shawn Watson Andre Johnson, one of the most celebrated players in that Houston Texans organization, basically trashing the organization, telling Shawn Watson to get the hell out.

How in the world did the Houston Texans get to this point?

That's gotta be.

I mean, that's I want to know, because we're only hearing 10% off what's probably what's really happening within that organization.

I want to know the low.

Brian has some of those answers.

Former head coach.

He's got some of those answers.
