I'm sure you've heard by now quarterback Tim T -- look -- it Colorado was heading into this New York Jets it's its trade that could turn a circus that team rivalries into an all out barn fire.
So says Mandalay entertainment CEO and owner of the NBA Golden State Warriors Peter -- joins us now Peter thanks so much for joining us let's get right to it.
Are gonna be made that this incredible publicity over Tivo.
Eighty worth the you know more than mean maybe temporary lost -- -- solidarity what do you think well there's.
No lies in the word teams they've got to have that team how -- integrate -- the 25.
Offense in the league in the NFL so his running Cuba and running and -- And Sanchez passing certainly can improve that the question is whether or not it'll be a distraction I think that's the real question.
A distraction is not something the New York Jets are unfamiliar way to think about -- robust.
Coach Rex Ryan all the sand since joining -- homes and and -- -- controversy.
So they didn't finish out in the playoffs this year so they -- they're trying to reenergize themselves but they didn't.
Give up a lot to get this a fourth round draft choice there -- too many of the -- begging -- so we'll sink.
He'll sit behind Sanchez and that's a good thing or really good thing because it'll give -- a chance that from mature more and improve the mechanics.
And hopefully that will launch him into a better Korea trajectory.
Now I think it happens to be a good thing I think -- the jets could uses 650 yards that T Bo actually ran underground they need more -- running game and they're gonna get -- from -- But think of the name -- -- -- -- Jeremy led.
The next put so much focus on Germany -- they saw he had star power.
Is there a danger of a sports team focusing on star power instead of -- team unity.
Well there is a danger of you know if you're -- if you're Jersey and you're playing isn't selling in the stores and somebody -- -- who isn't playing their -- selling in the stores.
You get some friction in the locker room to got to be very careful what that and the truth is he was the second I think the -- -- second.
Largest selling Jersey.
When he was -- -- Denver -- an incredible.
Already -- success and at the end of the day teams wanna sell merchandise that's important.
But the question of unity the question of fitting human carefully into the team will be a job -- the Coach in the management to do effectively.
In the long run do you think that this is something that's financially beneficial I don't know if you can still hear us there yes I can't go below and a long running along -- about how to -- -- -- would you back.
It you know really it's about Domino's and -- if they get enough W -- and you get the propulsion from.
His showmanship it'll be great if you don't get enough WW -- hunt for culprits and -- his level of distraction but remember.
He'd won two national championships.
He was a -- -- about Heisman Trophy this guy is a real wit and talent he's not been a bad guys but a good guy so let's hope that will be how.
Helpful to in this franchise which needs it.
And he's got tremendous -- from the fans but you know we're -- new Yorker from over the course you've never heard anything about this but New York has a kind of a liberal media.
And are already beginning to take -- against his very outward expression of his face.
In fact -- I mistake Frank Rich of the former New York Times columnist began -- get into some of that let's play the -- get you to respond.
These pictures in this morning's papers of every you know.
Jets fan adopting the T -- oppose around -- -- -- garden wherever they're doing it is it is partly.
And Johnson's approach or don't -- -- told.
Well -- actually it's as you guys kind of quite kind of a smarmy response frankly I think that kind of media attitude could backfire on the media for a lot of fans could come to the defense of Tivo.
Well you know listen and he didn't rob a bank.
He didn't back -- upset anybody else he doesn't use drugs.
The fact that he has a belief in higher beings doesn't mega man a bad guy and if that happens and it spreads to the rest of the -- and the rest the New York.
Back to -- a good thing.
There you go Peter go -- Mandalay Entertainment Group chairman and CEO Peter wonderful to see.
