I love Cam but his addition isn't going to get me to watch Hot Take.

Kind of like most politicians, I don’t particularly care to hear what Cam has to say. He’s a good dude that means well, but man, he’s almost 55 now, he’s gotta check that ego at the door. Gonna break a hip if he gets too heated.

I'm the same age as Cam.

 

He won't be 55 for another 20 years.

 

Old guys always hating on the youngsters smh.

Yeah Cam is younger than our current starting QB. That’s pretty crazy really. I hate how we shorted his career. He should still be our QB at 35 years old…

We were screwed out of Cam and Luke. You talking about the best offensive player and best defensive player at one point in their careers. That's crazy the kind of talent we had, yet we never got to see them finish out their careers healthy.

I find this stuff entertaining as long as you don’t take it too seriously. It’s barbershop talk and jokes.

That said I don’t think Cam is a good fit for the same reason him and Shannon wouldn’t have worked. Cam is always The Main Character. Amusing but even when it’s just him interviewing someone he has a hard time taking a backseat to his guest. A debate format where has to play off of others and can’t always be the center of attention is not going to be easy for him.

I’m 32.

so yeah, OLD GUY. 
 

I listen to some of what Cam talks about but he just reminds me of a lot of people I’ve known over the years who are full of poo. I liked Cam as a player and a person, and still do, but his opinions do not carry a lot of weight to me.

So why did you call him 55?

 

If you think 35 is old in life then you have it all wrong. Hell I go to a gym with people who are in their 60's and still going hard. 

 

Settle down young man.

First Take played decent role in ruining sports talk.  It’s trash.  

Stephen A recently compared himself to Dak when talking about his next contract.  Which sort of highlights the key issue there.  The mindset of sports talk now is the host is the draw….when it should be the talk/guest and their ability to make them/that noteworthy.   

half the time it’s evident dudes like Stephan A don’t even do basic research and know what is going on….its just about being loud and being a character

    • This is gonna be longest six weeks ever 
    • This 1000%.  Hey who wants to sign with the guy that couldn't even get his client the guaranteed contract of a 3rd round pick?  Lmao
    • I don't think it's any weird or unique clause, it's the offset language, same thing so many contract disputes are over. It just means that including it, if a player is cut and then signed by another team, the original team would be able to subtract how much they're getting paid by the new team from what they still owe him on their guaranteed money. For example, it's why Russell Wilson signed for the minimum last year with the Steelers as that was included in his Denver contract.  So if he signed with the Steelers for $1 million, he'd get $1 million less from the Broncos, if it was $2 million, he'd get $2 million less, basically he couldn't make any more money than he was already going to make, so you sign for the minimum to not take unnecessary cap room from your new team while giving extra cap room to your old one. The problem with trying to include it in rookie deals is that a team trying to include it, it says they think they don't really believe the player will make it 4 years with the team before they cut them.  And this usually comes up with one or two rookies in most seasons, the difference is it's usually handled much more quietly and not as public and ugly as this one. The other difference is that it's happening with the Bengals, which I believe I saw are one of the few (or only?) team that doesn't have protections for rookies in rookie and mini camps to be able to participate even if they haven't signed their contract yet.  The other teams have injury protections that allow them to still play, but the Bengals do not, which is also why this one is so public and ugly, as most the time this happens, the rookie is still participating in the rookie and subsequent mini camps, giving them more time to get the contract done before training camp when they'd then hold out.
