 The other day, we compared the DeAndre Hopkins situation to a girl in school who nobody's interested in. Nobody's giving her the time of day. Nobody's checking for anything. But all of a sudden, one guy's like, huh, you know what, she is kind of pretty. I'ma try to talk to her. So he started talking to her, he shows interest in her, then other guys see that. And they like, you know, wait a minute, wait a minute, she is kind of pretty. You know what, I wanna try to talk to her too. So nobody was watching her. Nobody was checking for her. Nobody was interested in her. But all of a sudden, one guy, he showed interest and then that made a lot of people do the same thing too. It's the same exact thing with DeAndre Hopkins. This is exactly what we expected to happen. It's exactly what we talked about a couple of days ago when it was announced that DeAndre Hopkins was going to be visiting with the Tennessee Titans. Nobody was showing interest in DeAndre Hopkins. At least nobody was showing public interest in DeAndre Hopkins. Nobody was showing real interest. They may be interested in him, but they weren't showing it. Cause nobody was having him, bringing him in for a visit or anything like that. But now when the Titans, they set up that visit. It was announced that he was gonna be going to Tennessee to go visit with them. Now, coincidentally, I think not, but the Patriots, now they are gonna be hosting DeAndre Hopkins on a visit. And let's read the report straight from Ian Rappaport. He said, for my Arizona Cardinals, where I receive what DeAndre Hopkins is set to visit the Patriots next week, source or say. This is after his Titans visit, as Hopkins free agent market heats up. So we were talking about New England could add a Top Pass catcher for Mac Jones. And yeah, that would be nice for Mac Jones. That would be a nice little upgrade for Mac Jones, getting a nice short-handed wide receiver. I mean, for any quarterback, it's always nice to have short-handed wide receivers. But DeAndre Hopkins is exactly that. But, and Ian Rappaport also added, DeAndre Hopkins visit to the Patriots makes sense for a lot of reasons. Here's one, he played for now Pat's offensive coordinator below Brian to start his career in Houston and was an all pro three times in his offense. A reunion would be fascinating. Now, that makes sense, that makes a whole lot of sense, especially with DeAndre Hopkins being a little bit older. When you're older in the workforce or work field or whatnot, and especially when you're working with a lot of younger people, a lot of younger people work in your field, you work in a very competitive field. As an older person, you are going to want to look for advantages that you can have over the younger people. You're gonna look for any leg up that you can have over them because why they're your competition? That's what you're going up against. And you do not wanna lose your job to a young person. So you gotta look for anything that you have over them and you're gonna wanna go to somewhere where you're familiar, a setting that you're familiar with because you not only wanna keep your job, you want job security and you want to excel at your job. And it's the same way with football players. And I think especially, it happens with younger ones too, but definitely with players that are a little bit older. When you're older and you're a free agent, and I mean, I don't need to talk about DeAndre Hopkins, like he's this super old player, anything like that. But when you're a little bit older and you get a taste of free agency, and it's getting late, it's getting late. I mean, it's not July yet, but this stuff is moving, man. But you, especially if maybe you may not really wanna do a bunch of training camp, even if you do or you don't, you want to go somewhere that you know. You wanna go somewhere that you know the system. You may know the coaching staff and it's the same way in the workforce. You wanna go somewhere, hey, if you know a manager there that you may have worked with in the past or something like that, and y'all had good chemistry, you're like, oh yeah, oh, you a manager over here now? Hey, yeah, yeah, put me on, man. Yeah, I'm gonna give you my resume, send it to your hiring manager, put me on. So we done all been there before. So with DeAndre Hopkins to the Patriots, him having a visit with them, yeah. Like Ian Rappaport said, it does make a lot of sense. But at the same time, I still think it's just a business move, calculated business move at that. Like I mentioned earlier, DeAndre Hopkins, he's been a free agent for a little while now. Been a free agent for a little while and ain't nothing been happening. Nobody's been showing real interest. They may be having, they may be interested in them a little bit, but they ain't been showing real and real, real interest would be, hey, DeAndre Hopkins, come out here, come take a physical, let's see what you got. But nobody's been doing that. And hey, who knows, maybe I could be wrong. Maybe it may have been DeAndre Hopkins just waiting till he was in a position where he could take visits. Hey, that could be the case. But now that the first team showed real interest, that being the Titans, now the Patriots are too. And I think what DeAndre Hopkins could be doing, which would make a lot of sense, he could be showing other teams that he may really be interested in. Because if his list and whatnot of once from a team is true, if it is accurate, then yeah, this would be him using those teams, using the Titans, using the Patriots to be like, I'm willing to go on visits with them, but real teams, hey, you see me, you see me. You see me, I'm out here, baby. Let's talk soon, hopefully. But that could be him going on those visits with those teams, those lesser teams and whatnot, to try to show the upper teams or the better teams that, hey, come get me, I'm ready. I'm ready to make something happen. I'm ready to make moves, because it's business, man. It's business. One of my guys in the comment section, he brought it up the other day. And he was like, oh, DeAndre Hopkins said he wants to win, but he going on a visit with the Titans, he's like, oh yeah, it's all about money. And I mean, if it is all about money, which I mean, that is part of it. That's a big part of it, which I am at it. Like, because it's like DeAndre Hopkins, I feel like now with him, he's never going to get paid. He's still gonna make a significant amount of money, but he's never going to get paid as much as he once did before. And again, that's not necessarily a bad thing because he got paid a lot of money before. He's still gonna get a good amount of money now, but I feel like now his contracts are only going to get less, become less. And again, making less than what he made before, still a lot of money, still gonna make a lot of money, but I just feel like it won't be the same as it once was if you get me. So, let's see what happens with DeAndre Hopkins, man. Still can play, obviously. Still can ball, obviously. Still gonna be a good row I receive for wherever he goes, but he, I feel like wherever he goes, it ain't gonna be no role-player type of thing. Like, you ain't bringing in no DeHop to be no role-player, man. Like, no, he ain't at that point in his career. So, if you bring in DeHop, like, they gotta be your guy. Like, they gotta be one of your top guys, because, again, he's an established guy. He's been like that, still is like that. So, I don't think he's gonna wanna take a backseat. So, that's something that whoever gonna bring in DeAndre Hopkins, you gotta think about that. And I feel like the Patriots are in a good position to bring in DeAndre Hopkins. Who are you gonna take a backseat to? He ain't gonna take up a backseat with nobody there. But at the same time, with Bill Belichick, he is a, he's not really a numbers guy. He is a guy who's very, very big on, obviously big on the team. But he's not really into all the individual stuff. I mean, you can get it there, he and there, but as far as all the individual stuff, no. Nah, he ain't gonna tolerate that. And again, like, people always talk about who played for the Patriots. They say it's not fun there. The winning is great, well, it was. But they say it's just not fun there, it's just different. Even though, you know what? I take it back because our guy, Matt Judon. Matt Judon, actually, he did recently say, sometime last year, he said that it is fun playing in New England, but at the same time, they ain't been winning like they used to win before. So, maybe that's why it's fun that they ain't winning this much, man. But, I don't know, we'll see what happens with this whole DeAndre Hopkins thing, man. It's fun, it's fun watching, being on DeAndre Hopkins watch and seeing where he's gonna end up going. But anyway, team keeping clean. I love y'all. I appreciate y'all so much more than you know.
