1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:04,120
Speaker 1: We check in with our sports legal analyst, attorney Stewart W.

2
00:00:04,200 --> 00:00:07,760
Speaker 1: Penrose from the Manila Law Group, who is flying high.

3
00:00:08,360 --> 00:00:10,800
Speaker 1: Maybe didn't even sleep at all last night. He was

4
00:00:10,920 --> 00:00:15,080
Speaker 1: in Indy his beloved Michigan Wolverines win a national championship.

5
00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:17,240
Speaker 1: I want to know what you're feeling right now, Stewart,

6
00:00:17,280 --> 00:00:17,680
Speaker 1: how are you?

7
00:00:19,120 --> 00:00:22,520
Speaker 2: I feel fantastic. I feel exhausted. I was there. I

8
00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:24,360
Speaker 2: was there with my dad. It was a great moment

9
00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:27,400
Speaker 2: for us. I've been blessed to be at the most

10
00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:32,240
Speaker 2: recent two Michigan football titles and now basketball. Drove home

11
00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:35,120
Speaker 2: after the game, slept just a few hours, and I'll

12
00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:36,800
Speaker 2: say it's good. It's a good thing this is in

13
00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:39,960
Speaker 2: the morning show mode because I had zero voice until

14
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:41,680
Speaker 2: about the last couple of hours.

15
00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:46,760
Speaker 1: I'm sure it was an unbelievable feeling. Yeah, yeah, I'm envious.

16
00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:49,160
Speaker 1: I want to feel this one day, just one day

17
00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:52,400
Speaker 1: in my life. But I'll enjoy it through you nonetheless.

18
00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:54,720
Speaker 1: All right, let's let's talk about let's talk about what's

19
00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:58,120
Speaker 1: next for college sports. So last week, as you know,

20
00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:02,720
Speaker 1: the President of the United States UH signed an executive

21
00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:05,360
Speaker 1: order and this is his second one aiming at quote

22
00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:08,720
Speaker 1: fixing college sports. But this one had some specifics to it.

23
00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:12,440
Speaker 1: Laid out some transfer and eligibility rules, laid out some

24
00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:16,320
Speaker 1: limits for ni LU, threatened schools that violate rules with

25
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:20,399
Speaker 1: specific financial penalties. All this came down on Fridays, So

26
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:22,679
Speaker 1: I guess a lot of us are asking the same question,

27
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:25,640
Speaker 1: which is what now and how binding is this?

28
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:31,440
Speaker 2: Well? What now? Or more legal challenges? You know, President

29
00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:34,080
Speaker 2: Trump himself came up and came out and said, you know,

30
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:36,080
Speaker 2: we'll see how this holds up in court. It might not,

31
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:39,840
Speaker 2: and you know, sounds like he understands that. And you know,

32
00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:43,600
Speaker 2: you know, executive orders telling a federal agency how to operate.

33
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:46,360
Speaker 2: It's it's not a law pass by Congress. It's you know,

34
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:49,760
Speaker 2: not directly bonding on schools, you know, on conferences or

35
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:55,400
Speaker 2: the in C double A. They don't have to automatically comply. Certainly,

36
00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:57,760
Speaker 2: it seems like the endgame here is to you know,

37
00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:00,920
Speaker 2: create pressure on Congress to you know, to work to

38
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:03,160
Speaker 2: try to make some real changes to college sports here.

39
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:05,640
Speaker 2: And you know, it seems that that's the end goal.

40
00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:09,320
Speaker 2: Whether this has any real meaning to it at the

41
00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:11,519
Speaker 2: end of the day, you know, only time will tell.

42
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:16,480
Speaker 1: There was an executive order signed last year that was

43
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:18,960
Speaker 1: aimed at and I put this in quotes because this

44
00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:23,040
Speaker 1: was in the executive order aimed at, quote, saving college sports.

45
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:28,720
Speaker 1: Did that executive order end up having any impact, Well, it's.

46
00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:31,040
Speaker 2: Kind of like what's happening with this new executive order.

47
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:33,760
Speaker 2: It's trying to keep pressure on the issue to push

48
00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:37,120
Speaker 2: the conversation forward. And that's what President Trump is clearly

49
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:39,960
Speaker 2: trying to do here, So, you know, more or less modi.

50
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:43,239
Speaker 2: It's sort of setting the agenda instead of changing the

51
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:46,120
Speaker 2: rules overnight. He's trying to keep pressure on the issue

52
00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:50,600
Speaker 2: to make something happen here, you know. But it's not

53
00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:53,040
Speaker 2: something that's going to change things overnight here. There's not

54
00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:56,400
Speaker 2: an easy button here. It's not going to override state laws.

55
00:02:56,400 --> 00:03:00,320
Speaker 2: It's not going to immediately stop all these anti trust lawsuits.

56
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:04,200
Speaker 2: But if Congress will eventually ask you, then there could

57
00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:05,160
Speaker 2: be some real change here.

58
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:09,600
Speaker 1: Let's talk about Tiger Woods charged with dui, which this

59
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:12,360
Speaker 1: is the second time he has faced a DUI charge,

60
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:15,760
Speaker 1: the first being twenty seventeen. Back then he was found

61
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:18,000
Speaker 1: asleep at the wheel of a car park to the

62
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 1: middle of the street in Florida, and he later pled

63
00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:24,120
Speaker 1: guilty to reckless driving, and he entered a diversion program

64
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:27,720
Speaker 1: as part of that deal. He now faces DUI. We'll

65
00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:30,640
Speaker 1: see how this unfolds. Is he going to end up

66
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:36,160
Speaker 1: facing larger consequences because of him being a quote repeat offender?

67
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:41,119
Speaker 2: Possibly even though he got a diversion program last time,

68
00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:43,480
Speaker 2: they can still look at the you know, what he

69
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:46,160
Speaker 2: was charged with and what the conduct was, and you know,

70
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:49,120
Speaker 2: not necessarily be treated the same as a as a

71
00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:52,680
Speaker 2: true first time offender. So it could it could influence

72
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:56,520
Speaker 2: how much discretion the prosecutors may have, how the judge

73
00:03:56,520 --> 00:04:00,600
Speaker 2: may sentence. It could make diversion less likely. We're simply

74
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:04,320
Speaker 2: not available to him. So yes, certainly, certainly it can

75
00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:07,120
Speaker 2: impact that the case goes along. Here for Tiger, he.

76
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:11,520
Speaker 1: Didn't take the urine analysis test. He didn't blow above

77
00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 1: a zero point zero, so doesn't appear that there was

78
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:17,000
Speaker 1: any alcohol in his system. So how does the prosecution

79
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:17,840
Speaker 1: prove impairment?

80
00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:22,000
Speaker 2: Yes, well, first offers, Tiger's smart does not take the

81
00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:25,000
Speaker 2: year in test. You know, in Florida, they're allowed to

82
00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:29,279
Speaker 2: use the refusal as an argument against you. You know,

83
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:31,360
Speaker 2: they can say, hey, you know, you know, if you

84
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:33,640
Speaker 2: were if you were sober, why didn't you take the

85
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:35,719
Speaker 2: urine test? But at the same time, he's refusing to

86
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:38,320
Speaker 2: give them the hard evidence. It makes it a lot

87
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:42,760
Speaker 2: harder to prosecute that case. But it's not impossible. They

88
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:45,600
Speaker 2: can still use the body cams MO, they can use

89
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:48,560
Speaker 2: whatever other fields of variety tests we're taken of Tiger

90
00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:52,360
Speaker 2: officer observations. You know, perhaps they could use the awesome

91
00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:55,120
Speaker 2: one minor he's delivered up. I'm sorry, I was just

92
00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:58,839
Speaker 2: talking to president. You know, there are there are other

93
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:01,240
Speaker 2: things that they can use for have there, but he

94
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:03,720
Speaker 2: was smart to not give him art evidence. And let's

95
00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:06,480
Speaker 2: be honest, if you're Tiger Woods, you have you're going

96
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:09,240
Speaker 2: to have an excellent lawyer that's going to you know,

97
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:13,039
Speaker 2: represent you the best of his abilities, and you know,

98
00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:15,040
Speaker 2: if there's no hard evidence, then that's sort of that's

99
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:17,080
Speaker 2: a nice win for Tiger at that's that part of it.

100
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:19,960
Speaker 1: So the other motorists involved here, Now, what I've read

101
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:23,719
Speaker 1: indicates that he doesn't plan on filing any civil litigation,

102
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:26,160
Speaker 1: but he has hired a lawyer. If he's not planning

103
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:28,560
Speaker 1: on suing Tiger, why would he hire a lawyer.

104
00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:32,080
Speaker 2: My understanding is that he hired a lawyer to make

105
00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:35,359
Speaker 2: a personal injury claim, you know, which which is what

106
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:37,440
Speaker 2: I do for a little I'm a personal injury attorney

107
00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:40,359
Speaker 2: and you know most cases model are settled outside of

108
00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:43,479
Speaker 2: court through insurance claims. I have no idea what this

109
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:46,440
Speaker 2: person's injuries are, and you know what their treatment is

110
00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:49,039
Speaker 2: and what they're claiming. But you know if Tiger Woods

111
00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:51,080
Speaker 2: is certainly going to have good insurance to collect from,

112
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:53,240
Speaker 2: so you know, we'll see if that ends in a

113
00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:57,000
Speaker 2: in an insurance settlement or or if necessitates a lawsuit.

114
00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:59,320
Speaker 2: You know that that's not something that's you know, known

115
00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:02,159
Speaker 2: right away, and you know it takes time as it

116
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:02,680
Speaker 2: goes along.

117
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:06,000
Speaker 1: Are there I know you don't practice in Florida, but

118
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:10,120
Speaker 1: are there laws or statutes that make this unique to

119
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:12,440
Speaker 1: Florida to complicate this case?

120
00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:16,839
Speaker 2: Yes, I mean certainly, like I said before, his refusal

121
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:20,360
Speaker 2: to take to take the urine test, I believe that

122
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:24,240
Speaker 2: there's an automatic license suspension there for him. With that,

123
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:28,800
Speaker 2: you can still get driving privileges for you know, work essentials,

124
00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:31,839
Speaker 2: what have you, and your refusal can be used against

125
00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:35,040
Speaker 2: you in court. That said, you know, you gave the

126
00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:38,440
Speaker 2: government an argument, but you refuse to give them the

127
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:41,320
Speaker 2: hard evidence. Most offense lawyers will take that trade off.

128
00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:45,359
Speaker 1: He's got a checker driving history. Could that be a

129
00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:46,320
Speaker 1: factor in this case?

130
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:51,240
Speaker 2: Certainly, certainly to look at his driving history obviously the

131
00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:54,120
Speaker 2: past to UI that even though it was negotiated down.

132
00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:57,360
Speaker 2: But yes, his driving history will come into play here

133
00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:00,400
Speaker 2: when it comes time to you know, what might ultimately

134
00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:03,640
Speaker 2: the offer to him and what his ultimate sentence could be.

135
00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:07,400
Speaker 1: Uh, he's still flying high. I for last night's Michigan
