A.j.
Brown is wild.
And Kevin and I do a lot of shows talking about A.J.
Brown and his antics there, where the wide receiver mentality is so much different than everybody else.
Like in college, I played on a bad football team.
You know what I loved?
Every fourth quarter, we were throwing the football.
There were some games that we lost and I would have, like, 10 catches for a buck 40 and two scores.
I'd be like, "That feels pretty good.
Let me go tell the people about what I did."
And then there were games we won, Kevin, one catch, nine yards.
We'd be like, "Yeah, we won, but boy, it would've been more fun if I had more catches-" Mm-hmm and we won this.
A.J.
Brown was in Super Bowls, scoring touchdowns, getting as many targets as he wanted, but there were games mixed in where, hey, the Eagles are unbeaten their last six, seven games, but A.J.
's unhappy 'cause he's not winning his way.
It's just the way it goes down.
He'll go to New England, Kevin.
He's gonna get 15 targets a game.
But what did you think when it finally all went down yesterday where A.J.
Brown went to New England?
Yeah, I mean, the Eagles completely worked the Patriots.
So here, here's I saw a respected Eagles beat reporter try and downplay the return here.
What world are they living in?
Again, it's People were saying, "Oh, I don't know if A.J.
Brown goes for a first round pick."
Yeah.
Everybody knew the Eagles were done with A.J.
and A.J.
was done with the Eagles, and Philly was like, "Yeah, we can't trade him until June 1st."
And the Pats were like, "Okay, give us a call.
We'll be here.
Whatever you want."
Oh, because the Eagles have to wait for the 28 draft pick instead of the 27 draft pick.
First of all, the 26 draft pick is what New England wanted to give up 'cause it was 31st overall.
Newsflash, it's probably not going to be pick 31 or 32 in 2028, and it's more likely it's a bad pick in 2028 than in 2027.
So the Eagles dictated the terms while having zero leverage.
That's A+ work as always out of Howie.
Pats' backs were against the wall because of the Mike Vrabel situation.
They had to back their guy.
