Draft Day Page #3

Yes, sir. I appreciate

that, Mr. Weaver.

Ah...

Jesus...

What? What'd he say?

I just wanna be a Brown.

Like you, Pop.

Yeah, I want that, too.

But you'll play where you play.

That's the way it works.

I know.

I'm just nervous, man.

You see that?

That's the Dungeon Drop.

Kids waited an hour to take it.

It's exactly 50 feet from the end

of the slide right into the pool.

Huge splash.

Anybody within shouting distance

would've gotten completely soaked.

And people pay for that.

I need you to make a splash,

Sonny. We need to sell tickets.

Well, I'm trying to help you do

that, Anthony, in my own way.

You can help me, by

makin' a splash.

And if you can't do it,

then I have to do it, and...

I don't wanna have

to do that, Sonny.

Just to be clear here, you're

threatening to fire me, right?

Let's talk about the Draft.

What do we need?

I hear a quarterback is

a good thing to have.

- We have Brian Drew.

- Well...

Word on Drew is that he's weak in

the knees. That's what I heard.

Well, that's because

you heard it from me.

We were 6-and-10 last season.

We were 5-and-1 until

Drew went down.

And he went down because

he's weak in the knees.

There's not a quarterback in

this draft after Callahan

that can make a difference

to our team, all right?

And we're way too far

down to get him.

Okay, okay. What else?

Our shiny new head coach

wants a shiny new running back.

Ray Jennings. He's

Cleveland royalty.

I know what Penn wants.

Come on, Anthony, you said

you would stay out of this.

Coach Penn has a Super Bowl ring.

He used to coach the

Cowboys, you know?

He took over for a team

that won the Super Bowl

and then proceeded to

run it into the ground.

Got himself fired. Lucky for us.

The Cowboys really

have great helmets.

Well, Anthony, you're the owner. You

can change the helmets if you want.

Look, you just gotta let me

do my job. I mean...

I like Vontae Mack.

He's special. He's different.

He could transform our

defense. Even as a rookie.

Defense doesn't make a splash.

Sonny.

People pay to get wet.

Shameful.

You're almost glad Coach

Weaver isn't around

to watch his son run this

team into the ground.

I mean, Tone, listen,

this guy comes two years after

supposedly saving San Francisco

and general manages us

right to a losing season.

Then you follow that up the next

season by firing his own father.

Coach Weaver, rest his soul.

Tone, he was football in...

- Have we tried everyone?

- Everyone worth asking.

So far, no one's

willin' to overpay.

Sh*t.

I really thought I could

get Sonny Weaver to bite.

I mean, he just lost his old man...

Fleece him.

Sonny! How can I help you?
