Was This The Real Reason DeAndre Hopkins Left Houston?

but every time we found out the other day that DeAndre Hopkins is one of the best wide receivers in the game, it's not like he's a top 10 receiver, it's like

this

guy is in the conversation about who is the best wide receiver in the game. American football now. You can't choose who is the best wide receiver in football because it's not possible that not everyone has the same quarterback throwing the ball and if you're in a position where you can only have an impact when someone else chooses to give you the ball or how he gets you the ball, it's hard to say

this

person is the best wide receiver in the game, but I knew he would be a part of those conversations no matter how it's happening, this guy just made plays that you're not supposed to make his hands be. the size of catcher's gloves.

I mean, he goes there and he gets it and then the story comes out about his mom and everything last year and you're just like man, this is a guy. that's a guy, this is a guy that you want on your team, then the training camp videos when he was on Hard Knocks and he talked to DeAngelo Hall Hall air and he was like Papa DeAngelo, yeah, yeah, DeAngelo Hall gave him some pats on the shoulder when he was on the Redskins and Nuke was on the Texans his name is Penniman, so he says, hey, trying to teach him in DeAndre Hopkins is like not painting, aren't you and me on the same level?

You're not teaching me. things are good, I don't care if you're older than me, that's not how it's going to be, anyway, DeAndre Hopkins is a competitive guy, it feels like he always shows up and makes big plays, so every time you hear that, the Texans are trading him for a second round pick on a backfield that hasn't been the same for a couple of years, it was very interesting and then the immediate thought of everyone here because they know they have a little bit of a inside look at the way the NFL was being run because humans are involved in this, there had to be a personal dispute is what everyone said, but nothing had leaked, nothing had come out and this morning when Michael Irvin was in Get Up Who? by the way, shout out to the newbie on the outfit team who is still putting on a show, they had people facetime from their rooms, which we will judge on everyone's little backdrop here and within the next hour and a half more or less, but they are still doing a show that I appreciate because they entertain the masses at certain times that they do, but they had an interview with Michael Irvin this morning calling us from what could have been the basement of a YMCA or a church and this is what he had to say about DeAndre Hopkins and Billy O'Brien.

I couldn't rest on that. I called him again 24 hours later, like yesterday afternoon, and then he was willing to talk more and I said, tell me what happened in Houston and he got into that, he told me, he said, Michael, there was some kind of power struggle there because coach of Bill O'Brien, O'Brien, thought he had too much influence over the locker room, called DeAndre Hopkins in a meeting to talk about this in the type of discussion in that meeting with which he began the meeting by telling DeAndre Hopkins this that what blew me away was that Andre told me this he told me at Hopkins he said it was the last time he had to have a meeting like this was with Aaron for many days what he put in this meeting he said yes he said Michael that blew me away stunned and even mentioned that.

I've never had any problems. I don't know why he would do it. introduce me to Aaron Hernandez and from there the meeting deteriorated, you know, he started talking about DeAndre Hopkins being under Aquas has some kids and different different women and he said, you know, he told DeAndre that he doesn't like that. he has his baby mamas around sometimes and from that I think the relationship just went wrong and we got a train from DeAndre Hopkins from Houston so basically I couldn't stand that guy who ever reported that we thank him for putting that video. up but I was Alma it was driving me crazy I almost if you're listening there no no one in this office was breathing into the microphone like that I all don't know that almost felt worse than hearing that like then the reaper's peppers but I couldn't stand that that guy breathed directly into that thing, but the things that Michael Irvin was saying there and that, by the way, DeAndre Hopkins told him, I have no idea if DeAndre Hopkins wanted that information released.

I'll be excited to see if there's a rebuttal from both sides on this because this is a bombshell right okay so now we know exactly why DeAndre Hopkins, one of the best players in the game, was traded out of Houston for a pick second rounder and David Johnson and We had to trade picks, same thing, so I think what gets forgotten and I talk about this on a lot of different occasions is that some players are not going to play their best every day because it's not a video game, TRUE? Not all players are in it. 99 every day like the grade is 96 97 or 76 or 77 some days in 76 77 might show up in 98 on some days that 98 might show up in 76 because in

real

life you have emotions, you have feelings, you have egos.

Be proud and you can always create a situation when you have a lot of courage, a lot of egos and a lot of success, where people can clash. It feels like I've been in a situation like this, the GM I worked for. At the end of my career he didn't like me, it was very obvious and to be honest I hated going to work to act in those situations. The fact that DeAndre Hopkins definitely didn't get along with Billy O'Brien, right? The fact that he's telling Michael Irvin. For starters, this story is already a sign that he doesn't love Bill O'Brien and obviously Bill O'Brien traded one of the best wide receivers in the game for a second round pick.

He doesn't love DeAndre Hopkins. These are things that definitely happened more often than people could imagine. People said it happened between Belichick and Tom. People said it happened between Antonio Brown and Ben Roethlisberger. The emotions are

real

, especially at a very high level, so I'm happy that DeAndre Hopkins is getting to a place where it looks like he's going to enjoy himself. I guess if Kliff Kingsbury and Steve are going to have time to add him to the roster, that's a place that will take him in, that's a place that will like his leadership, they will like him bringing his family which is a crazy take on Bill O'Brien's part to say dude, he doesn't like his babies' mothers. , TRUE?

Would you rather his baby mamas were worn out? He was a bad father and he didn't get along with that drama, it would be better. I mean, there's just a couple of things we have to assume, maybe there's a middle ground between the truth and what was said, but I'm happy for both of us if this is going to clear it up, but for DeAndre Hopkins even more so because he'll have the opportunity to go and thrive and hopefully be liked because it's obviously going to feel better every day for him to go out. There has been an update on the DeAndre Hopkins situation.

Here we go, he just tweeted that this is being overblown. Like I said before, I enjoyed and am proud of my time with the Texans. I have the utmost respect for Coach O'Brien and that will change now that I am ready to play for the Cardinals. Well, as we said every time we were reading Michael Irvin's we're listening to Michael Irvin's statement from Stand Up This Morning there was no way DeAndre Hopkins wanted that message to come out, he would have done it himself Michael Irvin I guess he was trying to defend DeAndre Hopkins and in turn, because there was no live sports and nothing else happened, a firestorm occurred as soon as Michael Irvin said this gets up is when we see him get up every morning by the way, Mike Greenberg is the weapon that has the opportunity to work there and see it work on people. behind the scenes and everything is a good show like they were a good show and we watched it every morning as soon as Michael Irvin said that from his face wherever he was we literally stopped I stopped those like what Michael Irvin did. he said and then Connor screamed as Michael Irvin said it again, so we had to rewind and watch it again and as soon as I heard it there I thought, oh, this is the story, this is what we're talking about.

Today this will be all. I knew it's a big deal because we're going to be a big deal because every time you treat this elite level player in a way that you don't think an elite level player should be treated and you hear about stories that happen like this and especially now that it's come to light Albright Benjamin or Benjamin Albright just tweeted that a free agent cornerback who could potentially be a Texans target has decided he's not going to the Texans because of who he is. I heard about coach Bill O'Brien through former Texans defensive backs, so Bill O'Brien now his name is getting into an interesting place right now with this John Drew Hopkins thing and by the way, DeAndre Hopkins answering this He's doing a great job for Bill O'Brien.

Please because DeAndre Hopkins could have said that, screw this, this guy just traded me for a second rounder or he thinks I'm worth a second rounder, but I said I'd come out defending Bill O'Brien, he's good. I'm still not sure that's going to deter people from wanting to sign with the Texans instead of going elsewhere.
