Draft Day Page #3

Coach Peon's reaction,

I just put all our

asses on the line

for a kid I think we all

agree is pretty good.

Until about 10 minutes ago,

I don't think any of us

thought this was possible,

and I seriously doubt that we have

looked at him the

way we might have.

That's my fault. All right,

guys? That's on me.

Now that's changed. So if

we go ahead with this,

if we pick him, and

find out tomorrow

that he has got knee problems,

he's got bedwetting problems,

or he's got goddamn OCD,

we're all gonna be fired.

What's beeping?

Hello?

Am I on the big phone?

Yes, Anthony, you're

on the big phone.

And can everybody hear me?

Good morning, Mr. Molina.

We can hear you.

Sonny! I'd like to

congratulate you.

I asked you to make a

splash and you did.

Is everybody still there?

Anthony, how do you

already know about this?

What can I tell you, my boy?

It's good to be the owner.

I'm about to board my plane.

I'm headin' for New York.

You're going to the Draft?

No, I'm gonna see Spider-Man,

Turn Off the Dark.

Of course I'm going to the

Draft! We got Bo Callahan!

Is that it?

Yes, sir.

Good.

Anthony? Anthony?

Sonny, my assistant Heather just

arrived from the equipment manager.

I had a jersey made

up for the young man.

I'm gonna hand it to him myself

personally when his name is announced.

Bo Callahan's gonna be

the son I never had.

Anthony, you already have a son.

Sonny, nice work!

Well, I guess that's settled.

Yeah. It may be.

We're still gonna have to

take another look at this kid

and everything there

is to know about him

before I can feel good

about what we just risked.

Meaning all of our jobs?

Yes. I do understand

how important it is,

but Mr. Weaver is

not here right now.

So the best I can do is, I can leave

him a message and get back to you.

Oh, you know, he

actually just walked in.

Can you hold for one

moment, please?

- Where's Ali?

- I don't know where Ali is.

She's not in her office. Ali!

I'm right here.

What's he doing here?

This is Rick. He's a new intern.

Yeah. We've met before, actually.

He'll be helping you today

because Rhona got mono.

I need Keith and Jeremy for

salary cap troubleshooting, so...

Um, I have Adam Schefter from ESPN

on the line. He heard a rumor.

Oh, great. Tell Schefter to

stick his rumor up his...

Sonny...

All right. Then tell him I'm not

taking any media calls right now.

Yes, sir.

And what kind of soda did you want?

I don't want a goddamn soda, Rich!

Don't yell at him. Thank you, Rick.

Listen, I know you're mad.

I'm not mad.

- And I'm sorry about the thing this morning.

- I'm not mad.

I understand the situation.

Whatever it is that you and I have,

you've been very clear

that it wasn't...

What are you talkin' about, "clear"?

I haven't been clear about anything.

Well...

Maybe that's the problem.

So, what did you have to give

up for the number one pick?

The first-round pick for

the next three years.

- Wow.

- Yeah, "wow."

The other one, you goat!

Get your head outta your ass!

What's going on?

Who the hell is this moron?

This is our new intern, Rick.

What do you want?

I need every tape of Callahan.

I have a call for Mr. Weaver.

And suddenly, every tape

of everyone is AWOL

and sh*t-show Johnny over here

doesn't have a goddamn

clue where they are!

Game tape is in the

archives. Chill out.

Chill out? They changed

the punch code!

Okay. I will get it, okay?

I will get the Callahan tapes.

For Christ sakes!

Just deal with the call

and handle lunch orders.

Don't ever speak to an

intern like that again.

Go back in the war room. Your

tapes will be here shortly.

Uh, Mr. Weaver.

What?

Chris Crawford is on line three.

Crawford!

How's my favorite super-agent?

I'm livin' the dream, Sonny Weave.

Dreamin' of a magical

wonderland called Cleveland

where my golden-armed quarterback

is gonna make all your

dreams come true.

Yeah. How is my favorite Badger?

He's doing great. He's excited.

You know, Bo loves Coach Penn.

He loves the Dawg Pound.

And did I mention that Bo loves

playin' in the cold weather?

'Cause Bo loves playin'

in the cold weather.

And we both know it's

cold in Cleveland.

I'd love to talk with him, Chris.

He's right here. Hold on.

Sonny Weaver. Cleveland.

How are you, Mr. Weaver?

I'm doin' fine. How are

you, son? Excited?

Well, of course I am.

It's an excitin' day. I can't lie.

Good, good. Well, try and

enjoy this part if you can.

You only get drafted once.

Well, thank you very much,

sir. I appreciate that.

Got a question for you, Bo.

Anything, Mr. Weaver. Fire away.

How important is winning to you?

Excuse me?

Well, I've seen all the tape on you

and talked to everyone

that matters,

but that's the thing

I still don't know.

How important is winning to you?

Well, winning is everything, sir.

Everyone says that, Bo.

I suppose they do, sir.

Look, I don't know

what else to tell you.

Winning is the only thing

that matters to me.

Oh, and by the way, I'd like to offer

my condolences for your father.

Thanks, Bo. Thanks for saying that.

Thank Chris for me.

Talk to you later, pal.

Okay. Thank you, Mr. Weaver.

Look forward to meetin' you, sir.

Great job.

Was I all right?

- Cleveland! Yeah.

- Cleveland.

Thank you.

Ali?

Great.

Hi, Mom.

You sold a cow for magic beans.

What?

You could have stole

Ray Jennings at seven!

How does the entire world

already know about this, Mom?

Because Vontae Mack

just tweeted it.

He tweeted it?

Yeah. Here.

"Agent just called. Browns

trade for number one.

"Sorry, Cleve.

You get Bo, no Vontae.

"Dumb move."

You're on Twitter?

You're not?

I'm sorry, Sonny.

Is this a bad time?

I gotta go, Mom.

This is the Draft Analysis

we've all been working on

for the last two months.

Fire! Ali! Fire!

- Ali! Fire!

- Did you hear that?

I'm coming. God!

Can I get you gentlemen

some coffee?

Love some.

Light and sweet, honey. Thanks.

Yeah, I'm not getting

you idiots anything.

I like her. Little Miss Salary Cap.

She's a sweetheart.

Yeah, she's the best.

Why am I here, Sonny?

Because Molina thinks

you coached the Cowboys.

I did coach the Cowboys.

And I think you were

a bad babysitter.

You know, my wife loved

livin' in Dallas, Sonny.

It's a rich town

full of fancy people

and she likes that kind of thing.

So she wasn't exactly

thrilled when I said,

"Hey, baby, pack your bags.

We're moving to Cleveland."

Well, there's fancy

people here, too.

No.

There's really not.

Which is okay by me.

But I dragged my pretty

wife to this town

because this city

deserves a championship

and I'm the guy that

can deliver it.

Well, then we're on

the same page, Vince.

Oh, yeah?

Then keep me in the loop.

There is no loop. All right?

There's me doing my

job, you doing yours.

Your job is to coach

the team I give you.

They do it different in Dallas?

Yeah, they do. They win. A lot.

I had my choice of teams to coach,

Sonny, and I chose this team, okay?
