Raiders firing GM Tom Telesco a result of the 'Brady effect' | Pro Football Talk | NFL on NBC

[@SDRHaki]

When the Raiders signed Minshew and went into the season with him and AOC I knew AP was going to be fired

[@calvinkiwa5666]

This specific Brady topic has infuriated Florio for months, and its hilarious to watch every time

[@Basegodd]

He’s the only one not afraid to expose Tom Brady’s privilege

[@cag19549]

​@@BasegoddOh, please. Tom Brady is a self made man. He's earned everything he's gotten with a strong work ethic. More people should try that instead of bitching about what they don't have. Stop going down the Florio wormhole, based on his jealousies and conspiracy theories as well as his need to be a tough guy that knows everything.

[@Jay-r6s1i]

@@cag19549 Umm Brady is privileged in this particular situation. Yes he has earned the right to do certain things. Having said that, Brady should not be a part-owner with power AND being able to provide commentary for one of the NFL's broadcast partners. That is clearly a conflict-of-interest.

[@abramech]

@@BasegoddAll the success he has earned? Okay.

[@braxtonrasmussen]

It is funny how his conspiracy theories are okay but not when others have em

[@hoffdawgwithmustard9647]

Florio gets so emotional when it comes to the raiders

[@michaelcorleone1298]

He hates em

[@statisticallysound]

Yeah I’ve noticed blatant corruption and wanton disregard of NFL rules by teams (and especially owners) really bothers him. Probably his past history of being a lawyer that is the root of it

[@jaqenhghar6996]

Why? He’s a Vikings fan. Trust me no one cares about the Raiders 😂.

[@romain8390]

All yall fans think every criticism is hate, but honestly, the Raiders deserve it, even if he does. Stop being so emotional and y’all should tell Mark to sell the team

[@RaiderLoso20]

@@jaqenhghar6996 its easy for him to hate on them. Raiders are an easy target to pick on and are one of the most ravenous fan bases that generate a lot of clicks and views. Alot of sports commentators also love to hate on the raiders for the exact same reasons. Not to say that some of these take are unwarranted, cuz we definitely have sucked for a long time and MArk davis is incompetent but Florio definitely goes overboard on the hate.

[@boki424]

Absolute right move by the Raiders ... too bad the Bears never do this.

[@jackbryan4676]

I don't know what's worse... still having Ryan Poles or still having Kevin Warren aka the guy that ruled out Harbaugh last off-season. The fact that they kept Eberflus only to fire him mid-season is still a head scratcher.

[@thangyselfmade7028]

Y’all think the raiders will be good they won’t they are just like the Bears 🐻 lol 😂 were historical losers

[@bookswithbenjamin8902]

Lol no Sims means Mike is gonna rag on Brady unchecked all day today

[@kyndread71]

AP three weeks ago: "We can't win in this league without a winning quarterback." Media asks AP if a win hurts the Raiders' draft chances, AP snarkily answers: "Ask Tom Telesco." The writing was on the wall.

[@itsascaryworld9788]

They were going to clean house once Brady got involved . No one should be surprised. It’s time to clean out the roster. Trade away Crosby for picks and trade down and draft a bunch of weapons. Get Ben Johnson as HC, saleh as DC, keep turner as OC. Sign a FA vet QB and keep AOC and draft a qb in the 2-3rd round. Draft a RB and add defense via FA and draft.

[@robjones1328]

What FA vet qb? Not many good ones this year

[@williamd1891]

Is that all?

[@itsascaryworld9788]

@ a de owner is the best answer

[@Jay-r6s1i]

Ben Johnson isn't going to the Raiders. That's not happening. Saleh won't be the DC there either. He will either go back to the 49ers or continue to sit back and collect those Jets checks.

[@Yoni123]

1:40 how bout you mention the names of those picks

[@Homer_the_prophet99]

Phil Simms never looked or seemed smart in any game I ever saw him call 😂

[@AV1611radio]

The raiders need to go get QB Joe Milton. People seem to forget how good he was in college. The perfect scenario would be to get a journeyman vet and then add Milton and let the two battle it out for the starting position, or allow the journeyman (perhaps Joe Flacco) to start for a year while you develop Milton to succeed him.

[@SmellyVinegaryBallzach]

Missing persons Report: Mike Florio's lips.

[@doom2547]

😅😅😅. I knew something about him looked weird

[@NeoSoulCrew]

Florio and Simms love to hate Brady.

[@Gutileonardo1]

You clearly didn't watch Simms defending Tom and even getting mad at Florio this week

[@dorailcrayton3676]

Simms defended Tom yesterday

[@DrewMacGregor]

Florio I agree with you on what you say about Brady. However, I think you need to be fair to him as well. Cris Collinsworth does not talk about his involvement with pro football focus and that shows up every Sunday night.

[@NotMyActualName_]

You gotta clean house if you want to fix anything. There's probably a whole bunch of players that need to go too. My guess is Telesco brought up Brandon Staley and he got fired on the spot.

[@AV1611radio]

You can criticize Tom all you want, but he's a 7-time SB champion. He's the GOAT, period.

[@rnflnardone1202]

Telesco let a top 5 rb walk for the same money he paid minshew theres a reason he was fired in LA.

[@arodri313]

Chris Spielman was with the media before he was brought into the Detroit Lions organization. He said he used his experience to find talent. That is why Brad and Dan are in Detroit. Also, Ben Johnson has made it clear he needs a GM that will work with him like Brad and Dan work together. Maybe Ray Agnew gets a call about the open GM spot. Stranger things have happened.

[@Jay-r6s1i]

Correct. Spielman left his media post once the Lions brought him in. Brady is actively working in the media while working with the Raiders. That is a huge conflict-of-interest.

[@ntchihieu]

Raiders are lucky to have TB the 🐐 ❤

[@lynnebaggett7199]

Everyone knows Brady is part owner of raiders by now. Mike is a raider hater. Most of his life he was a steeler fan, old Steelers raiders, epic rivalry!!! You can’t fool us Mike

[@davidhopkins8094]

As a Charger fan I was sad to see the Raiders fire Telesco, I loved what he was doing to stunt their growth

[@hectorfrausto9705]

His entire draft class are current Starters, not really stunting there growth 🤦🏽

[@davidhopkins8094]

No quarterback with all those starters and still last place

[@hectorfrausto9705]

@@davidhopkins8094 you have to build a core before you bring in a QB, the exact same way he did with the Chargers

Ya the AFC west doesn't need 4 competent organizations - good to keep the Raiders as some free wins for the three playoff teams we have haha

[@davidhopkins8094]

@@hectorfrausto9705 That's not true Chargers had a QB with a bad defense and offensive line, our new coach and gm fixed that to the best of there ability in their 1st year.

[@richardlesperance8259]

Brady should be the GM throw all in and build a culture!

[@craigburgess7105]

agree but maybe become President of football and give up the commenting gig for which Davis allocates him a higher share % of the franchise in compensation. Couldn't do both.

[@BasedSherpa]

That Tony reference was spot on

[@mrpzpdx]

Florio caught up..

[@rudycampos7565]

When the broncos hired Elway as a GM, they got four division titles, two AFC championships and a Super Bowl. So why not give Tom a try?

‼️HOLLEY‼️

Brady gets Deion, Shedeur, Shilo, & Jr to the Raiders🤔

[@garrettstiles7808]

I’m sure Brady is losing a lot of sleep over this moral conundrum.

[@MrMol75]

6 QB’s went before the Raiders picked buddy not 5.

[@vegasranger]

Herbert and Bowers fell into Telesco's lap. Hes the reason Chargers were stagnant under his management. He sabotaged AP. Never tried to get a good QB. Changed the Kingsbury deal to hire Getsy. GTFO

[@abramech]

Precisely.

[@lafan4801]

The conventional wisdom was that everyone had bowers on their can’t miss list and his drafts weren’t anything spectacular. The bottom line is he did not go after and get one of the numerous qbs in last years draft and decided to bridge with minchew . Middy as they come.

[@thatmexican2735]

Fox hates the Raiders sad to say.. Tom needs to put his stamp of approval on his take on his new team The Raiders!!!! RNFL

[@calidream9273]

Florio is big hating on Tom wtf

[@MohitRKNA]

Mike Florio is incorrect in that Tom Brady owns 5 percent of the Raiders, not 10 percent. You know, this new role that Brady has taken on as a minority NFL owner is quite reminiscent of what Magic Johnson did and still does as a minority owner. So happy to see this potential good turnaround for the Raiders, cus ever since Al died, Mark has been out of his depth and has a tendency to listen to the wrong people it seems.

[@ARBets23]

Thomas Dimitroff needs to be hired

[@JWH66]

Step off Mark! Wha...Tommy? Me, step off? Oh no, please don't... I said step off Mark! 😎 And that's how TB12 became Raiders majority owner

[@fredrodriguez84]

Raiders could stay bad, could turn things around and be great again. This host will always be a raiders hater . Tom bought his share, he is gnna give his fair share of opinions and if people don't like oh well. This is the start of a new era .

[@obrapro]

Charger fans stop talking. You’re not winning a Super Bowl anytime in the near future. The only team in the AFC west without a Lombardi or a stadium of their own.

[@rogerjaswal8361]

Had one of the best drafts in the last 15 years for the raiders, moved Adam’s contract and got us a 3 for him to the jets and he gets fired ffs this is why Davis is one of the worst owners in the NFL

[@_WEsTWooD]

🤣🤣 This dude is such an ambulance chaser

[@bill1982ify]

Best thing that could have happened. Mike you just keep trying to get Brady and you just keep failing.

[@bellgreenrose]

Telesco should have moved up to get a qb.

[@Jeffeleptic]

Yes I love Florio’s tears. Brady is bringing the raiders back, no matter how many conflict of interests there is

[@mpw621]

As a NE and Brady fan, it really seems like a conflict of interest. Brady really should leave his FOX media job and devout full-time to his 10% Raiders ownership. Maybe Brady should just coach the Raiders himself ?! The whole thing is like the 'Trump effect 'do what I want and try to stop me'.

[@abramech]

QQ. As long as the Raiders benefit, I’m all for it! RAIDER NATION FOR LIFE!

[@abramech]

Oh. And this guy is a crybaby.

Tom Brady is SO inside Florio's head. 🤯 A shrink would have a field day. 🤪

[@dogbadger]

Summerall? - sure. Madden? - of course. But Michaels also over everyone else? No way - Kevin Harlan is far better for starters.

[@DaFactsNoNonsense1713]

This is 1000% false! It's OBVIOUS to the fans (obviously not to the "media"), that Telesco got fired simply because EVERYONE was outraged that another BLACK head coach, got fired, only after "1" season of work! It's OBVIOUS that LV chose to fire the GM because it looked bad that he kept his job over the coach, who OBVIOUSLY has a much better understanding of player personnel, draft-picks + WHO they would need, to make the team better = they responded to the fans anger, just like Robert Kraft did with the Mayo firing = he tried to explain why he did it, ONLY because EVERYONE was mad about it, so this is no different + this proves that the "media", has no clue what's going in pro-sports + make-up stories, based on nothing factual/logical/rational

[@bobbykiriakidis9753]

Brady should just become GM otherwise he is no different than a “meddling” owner. Why would a respected GM candidate go to Vegas if he knows Tom will override his decisions ?

Let it be known that Florio’s relationship with NBC which airs NFL games is also a conflict of interest

[@dinkumthinkum4247]

How? What control can Florio exercise to influence anything?

[@ryanlynn6414]

Florio owns PFT. NBC contacts him to put his show on their channel. I don't think you were using "conflict of interest" in the right context. That's like saying McAfee is a conflict of interest to ESPN.

[@ericruiz658]

Brady SUCKS at broadcasting, hopefully he'll be a better shadow GM for the Raiders

[@rustynail8622]

Wrong, we HAVE seen that before Michael. John Madden advised the Raiders for years after his tenure. Did that give the Raiders an unfair advantage? Well, there's certainly no proof in the trophy case.

[@RK-ck6pl]

Hmm. Yesterday no one could shut up about how the Raiders were racist for firing their coach after 1 year now it's crickets..

[@lafan4801]

For a lawyer, wouldn’t you think that Brady has talked to his legal team and the league legal about this before he made this move? It’s unlikely for the ultimate prepared dude to be unprepared for this.

[@robertboyer6866]

Mike and Michael I understand your point but this point is lost on 99.9% of people in America .
