0:00.0	What is up? It's the rant. My name is Jeff Rackler, but it is Thursday, August 5th.
0:22.0	Interesting news, Philly Eagles fans are talks heating up for Dishon Watson. Well, Chris Turpasso
0:30.7	already at CBS did have a tweet last night. It was kind of late last night around about 11
0:38.0	Eastern. He says citing a source talks are heating up between the Eagles and Texans on the Dishon
0:43.2	Watson trade. Still some hurdles to get over, but both sides attempting to come to an agreement.
0:49.2	So let's talk about this and also we're going to break down some breakouts. One breakout from
0:53.7	every NFC team. Of course, we today have C teams yesterday on the podcast. This is not a typical
1:00.5	source. I mean, you know, Chris has been around the block for a while here, but not a typical

1:53.2	charges. So at this point, there is the potential prosecution. Watson's camp does believe that he
2:02.3	could be, you know, the evidence could essentially be presented to a grand jury. And that could lead
2:08.5	to an indictment on felony charges. It could. That is within the realm of possibility.
2:13.9	Now, if he was indicted on a felony charge or multiple felony charges, the NFL would undoubtedly
2:22.4	put him on commissioners exempt on paid leave. That hasn't happened yet. Obviously,
2:27.6	and he isn't on commissioners exempt, but the league did say they didn't say, well,
2:33.1	he's not going to be placed on it. They said they're going to continue to monitor the developments
