Oh, oh.
Some light NFL breaking news.
Okay.
Can't oversell it.
Okay.
We'll play a little game.
Okay.
The Detroit Lions have traded- David Montgomery David Montgomery, serviceable running back, to- To blank for blank.
To the blank for blank.
Where did David Montgomery go this morning, according to multiple reports?
Arizona.
The Houston Texans for a fifth round draft pick.
Okay, so Joe Mixon probably not coming back.
And I don't know the extent of his injury or his recovery period, but Joe, Joe Mixon had, you know, a few good seasons there.
Yeah, Sean.
More upsetting, being drafted in the fifth round or being traded for a fifth rounder?
I, I would say being drafted in the fifth round because there's a, there's a lot of talented players who get traded, and they don't get traded for a lot.
You know, it can be a third round draft pick, and you're like, "Wait, that guy's really good."
But that's what I'm saying.
Like, David Montgomery, don't you think he's looking at that and being like, "What the heck?
I'm a I'm way better than a fifth rounder."
No, I think he's looking at it and he's like, "Yes, I get to be a starting running back in the NFL."
Yeah.
I don't know if he looks at it and goes All you need is somebody to want you.
That's it.
Like, just one team who wants you.
If you want out of your team, somebody wants you, great.
I don't I mean, maybe you stole me.
I don't want you wasting a higher pick.
We wanna use all those picks to make this team I'm going to better.
But David Montgomery, he wanted out of Detroit, got his wish, and he's going to the Houston Texans for a fifth rounder.
Yes, Paul?
Yeah, he's in his seventh year, 6,000 yards rushing, 60 touchdowns.
Pretty good.
Yeah, 230 catches.
He's like not famous, really good running back.
Yeah.
Good for him.
All right.
And good for the Texans.
Now they just need an offensive line.
Don't tell David Montgomery that.
Yeah.
That'd be my first question.
"Hey, how's the offensive line?
'Cause I'm leaving a pretty good offensive line in Detroit."
Have you seen that video of when Penne Sewell and, Aaron Donald are going at each other, grabbing each other's face mask?
And it's one of those where you go, "I don't know who I'd pick here."
'Cause Aaron Donald strikes me as, you know, lower to the ground, wrestler.
Penne Sewell is just a big man.
But you're seeing these two guys grabbing onto each other's face mask a- and I'm going- "Man, do I take the low guy?"
Usually.
Yeah.
Leverage guy.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But I- if I gave you the first pick, I'm okay with, you know, who I get left with.
If you said, "Well, you're gonna have to You're gonna be saddled with Penne Sewell," I'll be like, "All right.
Well, I'll see what I can do."
