<v Speaker 1>Broadcasting from the Mercedes Man Cave. It's it's Dan patch Trick.

0:01:15.400 --> 0:01:17.920
<v Speaker 1>We're an hour in and a lot of headlines here.

0:01:17.920 --> 0:01:21.640
<v Speaker 1>It's been a crazy morning, obviously, with Luke Keekley retiring,

0:01:21.720 --> 0:01:25.400
<v Speaker 1>Larry Fitzgerald's coming back for a seventeenth season. We got

0:01:25.440 --> 0:01:28.600
<v Speaker 1>some new Hall of famers, including jimbo Coverts in there,

0:01:28.680 --> 0:01:32.920
<v Speaker 1>Harold Carmichael, the former Philadelphia Eagle wide receiver. Who else

0:01:32.959 --> 0:01:36.560
<v Speaker 1>did I miss in that group? Mclovin that the audience

0:01:36.600 --> 0:01:40.679
<v Speaker 1>would probably be aware of. There's some older plants. Yeah,

0:01:40.720 --> 0:01:42.840
<v Speaker 1>Donnie Shell, he was with the Steel Curtain, but he

0:01:42.880 --> 0:01:47.000
<v Speaker 1>was sort of that extra defensive back who came in. Oh, um,

0:01:47.040 --> 0:01:49.920
<v Speaker 1>George Young, you didn't mention, I don't know the Giants GM.

0:01:50.160 --> 0:01:52.640
<v Speaker 1>Yeah he was. He was great. It was great. Yeah.

0:01:52.880 --> 0:01:57.320
<v Speaker 1>Purcel's obviously Tagley boos haring a lot of attention on Twitter.

0:01:57.800 --> 0:02:01.480
<v Speaker 1>Why the negativity with the football writers with Paul Tagle

0:02:01.560 --> 0:02:03.440
<v Speaker 1>Did he put his head in the sand over steroids?

0:02:03.440 --> 0:02:06.800
<v Speaker 1>I mean, not steroids, over head injuries. That's why writers

0:02:06.800 --> 0:02:10.800
<v Speaker 1>don't like them. There's a line in the book okay,

0:02:10.840 --> 0:02:13.880
<v Speaker 1>but how many of those media members cared. I mean

0:02:13.919 --> 0:02:16.800
<v Speaker 1>we can now look back and say, where was the

0:02:16.919 --> 0:02:19.600
<v Speaker 1>NFL on this? I mean the players didn't care, the

0:02:19.639 --> 0:02:23.600
<v Speaker 1>league didn't care, and fans didn't care, and the media

0:02:23.639 --> 0:02:31.320
<v Speaker 1>didn't care. Right. I don't think the media knew. I

0:02:31.320 --> 0:02:33.440
<v Speaker 1>don't think anyone knew the extentment. I still don't think

0:02:33.440 --> 0:02:36.200
<v Speaker 1>people understand, well, what did he know and when did

0:02:36.240 --> 0:02:40.560
<v Speaker 1>he know it? I'd be curious about that. Yeah, but

0:02:40.639 --> 0:02:42.920
<v Speaker 1>there's sort of like there's things that are right in

0:02:42.960 --> 0:02:45.079
<v Speaker 1>front of your faith that are so obvious that then

0:02:45.360 --> 0:02:49.239
<v Speaker 1>once it's said, like you know boxers, right, well, we

0:02:49.280 --> 0:02:51.560
<v Speaker 1>all know that that's like head traumas. Yeah, it's not

0:02:51.600 --> 0:02:55.480
<v Speaker 1>like you can say that watching NFL players age and

0:02:55.520 --> 0:02:58.400
<v Speaker 1>all that stuff happening. I mean, it was sort of

0:02:58.480 --> 0:03:01.440
<v Speaker 1>right there. But was it just too obvious? I just

0:03:01.520 --> 0:03:05.120
<v Speaker 1>remember watching as a fan and it didn't dawn on

0:03:05.240 --> 0:03:08.040
<v Speaker 1>me of what kind of head But you know, they

0:03:08.080 --> 0:03:12.040
<v Speaker 1>played the game differently. They actually tackled better. The form

0:03:12.120 --> 0:03:15.320
<v Speaker 1>tackling was better back then. If you go back, how

0:03:15.360 --> 0:03:17.960
<v Speaker 1>many head on collisions did you have back then? How

0:03:17.960 --> 0:03:20.920
<v Speaker 1>many times did you use your helmet back then? In

0:03:20.960 --> 0:03:24.640
<v Speaker 1>the sixties and seventies. You know, one of the first

0:03:24.680 --> 0:03:27.639
<v Speaker 1>times I ever saw something like that was Jack Tatum.

0:03:28.160 --> 0:03:31.200
<v Speaker 1>You know, Jack Tatum hit Darryl Stingley, and it was

0:03:31.240 --> 0:03:35.160
<v Speaker 1>so shocking. That was a preseason game. You just didn't

0:03:35.200 --> 0:03:38.520
<v Speaker 1>see players lead with their helmet. They hit you, but

0:03:38.600 --> 0:03:41.840
<v Speaker 1>it felt like they hit you, and there was a

0:03:42.000 --> 0:03:45.240
<v Speaker 1>There was a competition, obviously, but there was a respect

0:03:45.280 --> 0:03:48.880
<v Speaker 1>among offenses and defenses. Now you can watch Dick Buckis,

0:03:49.160 --> 0:03:53.160
<v Speaker 1>you know, clothesline somebody or drive somebody into the ground. Yes,

0:03:53.560 --> 0:03:55.720
<v Speaker 1>you have outliers in there and the way they play

0:03:55.800 --> 0:03:58.720
<v Speaker 1>the game, or Ray Nitzky, but you know, for the

0:03:58.760 --> 0:04:01.880
<v Speaker 1>most part, it like they did more. They were taught

0:04:01.880 --> 0:04:05.920
<v Speaker 1>to form tackle. The reason why you have players who

0:04:06.200 --> 0:04:10.000
<v Speaker 1>lead with their body is defensive bats made the highlights.

0:04:10.680 --> 0:04:14.520
<v Speaker 1>I truly believe just getting into the highlights, because if

0:04:14.520 --> 0:04:17.680
<v Speaker 1>you didn't, you know, come up with an interception, you

0:04:17.760 --> 0:04:19.920
<v Speaker 1>probably weren't making the highlights unless you were beat for

0:04:19.960 --> 0:04:25.400
<v Speaker 1>a touchdown. These defensive players realized, if I blow somebody up,

0:04:26.400 --> 0:04:28.360
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna make the highlights. I can make a name

0:04:28.400 --> 0:04:31.560
<v Speaker 1>for myself. And I think that's where we got off

0:04:31.560 --> 0:04:34.360
<v Speaker 1>the rails with the NFL. Now, I know that there's

0:04:34.400 --> 0:04:38.240
<v Speaker 1>been head trauma and probably players that you don't even

0:04:38.360 --> 0:04:42.159
<v Speaker 1>know existed who had head trauma, those who were still

0:04:42.200 --> 0:04:46.200
<v Speaker 1>suffering from it. And even the helmet itself, you know,

0:04:46.240 --> 0:04:49.800
<v Speaker 1>trying to improve a look at an old helmet, and

0:04:49.880 --> 0:04:51.719
<v Speaker 1>I'm not talking about the ones that didn't, you know,

0:04:51.839 --> 0:04:54.880
<v Speaker 1>have the face mask on it. But I'm sure Brett

0:04:54.920 --> 0:04:58.880
<v Speaker 1>Farve's helmet. You know, that Riddell helmet doesn't look too

0:04:58.880 --> 0:05:00.720
<v Speaker 1>impressive if you put it all you go, boy, he

0:05:00.760 --> 0:05:04.000
<v Speaker 1>went into battle all of those years with that And

0:05:04.040 --> 0:05:07.200
<v Speaker 1>I think that that But I don't know Paul taglia

0:05:07.200 --> 0:05:10.880
<v Speaker 1>Boo's legacy or have a strong opinion one way or another. Yeah,

0:05:11.600 --> 0:05:13.640
<v Speaker 1>there's one damning quote in the book League at an

0:05:13.640 --> 0:05:15.599
<v Speaker 1>Hour where taglie Booth said that this is a media

0:05:15.680 --> 0:05:19.120
<v Speaker 1>creation and its pack journalism on concussions. Okay, and it

0:05:19.160 --> 0:05:20.719
<v Speaker 1>got and it was a direct prover. I mean, I

0:05:20.720 --> 0:05:25.360
<v Speaker 1>mean that that's damning. Yeah, if if they had the

0:05:25.440 --> 0:05:28.240
<v Speaker 1>research and then he said that, well, but yeah, the

0:05:28.240 --> 0:05:30.480
<v Speaker 1>big as who like, what do Goodella and Taglieboo really

0:05:30.520 --> 0:05:32.760
<v Speaker 1>do for the game? Are they are they? Do they

0:05:32.800 --> 0:05:34.200
<v Speaker 1>get the credit for growing in the game or did

0:05:34.200 --> 0:05:36.800
<v Speaker 1>the game go around them. It's hard to tell. I think, well,

0:05:36.839 --> 0:05:40.080
<v Speaker 1>I wouldn't put in a commissioner like Paul Taglia Boo

0:05:40.360 --> 0:05:43.320
<v Speaker 1>or even Roger Goodell just because you made the owner's money.

0:05:43.400 --> 0:05:48.120
<v Speaker 1>Did you make the game better? I like, what what

0:05:48.160 --> 0:05:52.720
<v Speaker 1>did you do? You were overseeing a league. Okay, now

0:05:52.760 --> 0:05:57.280
<v Speaker 1>everybody's a billionaire. Okay, you've increased the value. Okay, But

0:05:57.839 --> 0:06:01.599
<v Speaker 1>he's also had mistakes as the commissioner. Like, I don't

0:06:01.600 --> 0:06:03.680
<v Speaker 1>know what the checks and balances are with putting a

0:06:03.680 --> 0:06:07.000
<v Speaker 1>commissioner in. I thought Pete Roselle was a brilliant marketing

0:06:07.040 --> 0:06:10.920
<v Speaker 1>man as as the commissioner of the NFL, and I

0:06:10.920 --> 0:06:15.240
<v Speaker 1>thought David Stern was a brilliant marketing man as the

0:06:15.279 --> 0:06:18.919
<v Speaker 1>head of the NBA. But other than that, you know,

0:06:18.960 --> 0:06:21.560
<v Speaker 1>if I'm taking inventory with commissioners, I'm like, Okay, he

0:06:21.760 --> 0:06:27.640
<v Speaker 1>was good, Like Ford Thrick. I don't know. Larry O'Brien,

0:06:27.960 --> 0:06:32.400
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. Yeah, how Bissy tune. How a commissioner

0:06:32.400 --> 0:06:34.680
<v Speaker 1>Taggy Boot's responsibility to be the players? Isn't that the

0:06:34.680 --> 0:06:37.039
<v Speaker 1>players union chief the health of the players and the

0:06:37.040 --> 0:06:39.680
<v Speaker 1>safety in the longevity not the commision commissioner's job is

0:06:39.880 --> 0:06:42.799
<v Speaker 1>the opposite. His job is to make money for the teams,

0:06:42.839 --> 0:06:44.760
<v Speaker 1>make money for the networks, and grow the game for

0:06:44.800 --> 0:06:47.599
<v Speaker 1>the fans. But if you have that quote, though, then

0:06:47.640 --> 0:06:50.919
<v Speaker 1>that feels like you're suppressing evidence there. That would be

0:06:50.960 --> 0:06:53.160
<v Speaker 1>the only thing that I would say, you're right. His

0:06:53.240 --> 0:06:56.880
<v Speaker 1>job is to take care of the owners and make

0:06:56.920 --> 0:06:59.560
<v Speaker 1>money and grow to grow the sport. The Players Association

0:07:00.279 --> 0:07:03.400
<v Speaker 1>Gene Upshaw at the time, you know, what did he

0:07:03.440 --> 0:07:05.680
<v Speaker 1>know and what could he do about it? But when

0:07:05.680 --> 0:07:09.240
<v Speaker 1>you say, hey, this is a media creation, it's like steroids.

0:07:09.560 --> 0:07:11.800
<v Speaker 1>And we finally found out about steroids, and then we

0:07:11.800 --> 0:07:16.000
<v Speaker 1>investigated steroids and then we were told only five percent.

0:07:16.000 --> 0:07:19.560
<v Speaker 1>Remember the famous Donald fear Line who headed up the

0:07:19.560 --> 0:07:24.080
<v Speaker 1>Players Association five percent or dirty? And all those years

0:07:24.080 --> 0:07:25.840
<v Speaker 1>we tried to get him on because I wanted to say,

0:07:26.080 --> 0:07:30.440
<v Speaker 1>then why don't the ninety five percent be upset with

0:07:30.520 --> 0:07:36.320
<v Speaker 1>the five percent? Because now everybody is guilty. Speaking of guilt, Well,

0:07:37.040 --> 0:07:39.040
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if he's admitted guilt, but Alex Cora

0:07:39.120 --> 0:07:42.840
<v Speaker 1>got fired the Red Sox manager. Now they said it

0:07:42.880 --> 0:07:46.880
<v Speaker 1>was a mutual parting. Here he's not fighting it. But

0:07:46.960 --> 0:07:50.840
<v Speaker 1>this is here's where I'm I don't know who else

0:07:51.160 --> 0:07:54.280
<v Speaker 1>was involved in the Red Sox cheating. Who might be

0:07:54.400 --> 0:07:57.200
<v Speaker 1>all still on the staff. So what if something comes

0:07:57.200 --> 0:08:01.400
<v Speaker 1>out like let Baseball finish their investor t gaish. This

0:08:01.440 --> 0:08:03.120
<v Speaker 1>feels like the Red Sox go, oh my god, we

0:08:03.200 --> 0:08:06.720
<v Speaker 1>got to fire him. Okay, fired him, moving on public pressure.

0:08:07.320 --> 0:08:10.160
<v Speaker 1>What if the hitting coach or somebody else was one

0:08:10.160 --> 0:08:14.880
<v Speaker 1>of their spies or current player. I don't know, Wait

0:08:14.920 --> 0:08:17.400
<v Speaker 1>till the investigation is done, and then if you want

0:08:17.400 --> 0:08:23.800
<v Speaker 1>to fire Alex Cora, fire Alex core and uh, everybody's

0:08:23.800 --> 0:08:26.000
<v Speaker 1>weighing in on this because now it feels like teams

0:08:26.000 --> 0:08:30.000
<v Speaker 1>are entitled to a World Series in twenty seventeen, the

0:08:30.080 --> 0:08:34.800
<v Speaker 1>Yankees and the Dodgers. Here's CC Tobathia on the cheating

0:08:34.840 --> 0:08:39.280
<v Speaker 1>by the Astros costing his Yankees. It's getting frustrating, man

0:08:39.480 --> 0:08:41.960
<v Speaker 1>to sit here and know that, you know, late in

0:08:41.960 --> 0:08:43.760
<v Speaker 1>my career, I probably could have had a title, you know,

0:08:43.800 --> 0:08:47.440
<v Speaker 1>maybe seventeen or maybe eighteen, but you know, we got cheated,

0:08:47.520 --> 0:08:49.040
<v Speaker 1>you know, out of out of you know, a team

0:08:49.120 --> 0:08:51.120
<v Speaker 1>kind of doing something that that's not within the rules

0:08:51.160 --> 0:08:54.800
<v Speaker 1>of the game is okay. I think I think all

0:08:54.840 --> 0:08:59.079
<v Speaker 1>of these players should shut up because if CC Sabathia

0:08:59.320 --> 0:09:01.120
<v Speaker 1>was sitting here in front of me, and he said that.

0:09:01.160 --> 0:09:04.240
<v Speaker 1>I would say, you played with Andy Pettit and a

0:09:04.400 --> 0:09:09.440
<v Speaker 1>Rod right, are you giving back your title? Oh you're not? Okay?

0:09:09.440 --> 0:09:13.600
<v Speaker 1>Then shut up you There's no guarantee you would have

0:09:13.600 --> 0:09:16.840
<v Speaker 1>won the World Series. You benefited from cheating as well.

0:09:18.640 --> 0:09:20.880
<v Speaker 1>I know the Dodgers and Dodger fans are upset. I

0:09:20.880 --> 0:09:23.920
<v Speaker 1>get it. You want to vacate the title. They're not

0:09:24.080 --> 0:09:27.640
<v Speaker 1>giving you the title? Is that? Is that enough for you?

0:09:27.920 --> 0:09:30.840
<v Speaker 1>If they vacated and I go back to Reggie Bush,

0:09:31.840 --> 0:09:37.959
<v Speaker 1>vacated the Heisman, had its stripped, the honor and the trophy.

0:09:38.080 --> 0:09:41.320
<v Speaker 1>They didn't give it to Vince Young and he finished second.

0:09:42.360 --> 0:09:47.080
<v Speaker 1>So when you had Ben Johnson test positive at the

0:09:47.120 --> 0:09:50.320
<v Speaker 1>Soul Olympics three days later, they gave the gold medal

0:09:50.360 --> 0:09:54.520
<v Speaker 1>to Carl Lewis, Okay, if you're gonna do that, then

0:09:54.559 --> 0:09:57.080
<v Speaker 1>why don't you do that with Vince Young. It's it's

0:09:57.080 --> 0:10:00.720
<v Speaker 1>a it's a race, you know. One is that you

0:10:00.760 --> 0:10:02.960
<v Speaker 1>know we're actually racing against each other. This one was

0:10:03.000 --> 0:10:04.760
<v Speaker 1>just a race to see who got the most votes.

0:10:05.080 --> 0:10:06.640
<v Speaker 1>You want to give it to Vince Young? Give it

0:10:06.640 --> 0:10:09.880
<v Speaker 1>to Vince Young, but I can't sit here and go,

0:10:10.120 --> 0:10:12.760
<v Speaker 1>you know what, the Yankees would have won the World

0:10:12.800 --> 0:10:15.280
<v Speaker 1>Series that year or the Dodgers good, I don't know that.

0:10:16.559 --> 0:10:21.479
<v Speaker 1>But for CC Sabathia to forget that he played with cheaters,

0:10:23.720 --> 0:10:27.160
<v Speaker 1>it's pretty hypocritical. Yes, I mean, did the Dodgers want

0:10:27.200 --> 0:10:33.360
<v Speaker 1>to vacate that title they won with Matt Oh? Sorry? Wow, wow,

0:10:34.480 --> 0:10:38.520
<v Speaker 1>I just wow? Where did that come from? Nilove? That's

0:10:38.559 --> 0:10:45.160
<v Speaker 1>fair thought, you agree, but I'm not hearing anybody say that.

0:10:45.320 --> 0:10:47.880
<v Speaker 1>But they didn't win the difference that they couldn't. They

0:10:47.920 --> 0:10:50.240
<v Speaker 1>should have won five titles over the span. That's the

0:10:50.280 --> 0:10:53.800
<v Speaker 1>funny thing that they don't have to vacate anything. Yes, tough,

0:10:53.880 --> 0:10:56.959
<v Speaker 1>and can CC say with certainty that they Yankees haven't

0:10:56.960 --> 0:11:00.679
<v Speaker 1>done anything questionable with technology? Can any player know everyone

0:11:00.760 --> 0:11:03.240
<v Speaker 1>else is doing it all time? I wouldn't say anything

0:11:03.600 --> 0:11:06.160
<v Speaker 1>in a situation. I'll tell you who should be saying something.

0:11:06.520 --> 0:11:09.920
<v Speaker 1>The Astros players should have a backbone and get in

0:11:09.960 --> 0:11:13.320
<v Speaker 1>front of a camera because your manager just got fired

0:11:13.559 --> 0:11:18.040
<v Speaker 1>because of you guys. Nobody's being punished here, but somebody

0:11:18.080 --> 0:11:21.120
<v Speaker 1>should at least have a J. Hinches back for what

0:11:21.160 --> 0:11:22.920
<v Speaker 1>he was able to do with that team. And for

0:11:23.160 --> 0:11:28.240
<v Speaker 1>that team. He took the bullet and I haven't heard Justin.

0:11:28.360 --> 0:11:32.160
<v Speaker 1>Verlander talks about everything. He rails on everything, peed you.

0:11:32.160 --> 0:11:36.080
<v Speaker 1>You know, he's always got something to say. Bragman, He's

0:11:36.080 --> 0:11:41.320
<v Speaker 1>always willing to talk. El touve. Your manager just got fired.

0:11:41.440 --> 0:11:45.200
<v Speaker 1>You guys benefited from this? Now did he play a role,

0:11:45.360 --> 0:11:48.920
<v Speaker 1>a secondary role? Yes he did, and I would have

0:11:48.960 --> 0:11:52.680
<v Speaker 1>fired him. But these players are going to get off

0:11:52.760 --> 0:11:58.080
<v Speaker 1>scott free. Yeah. I have a baseball question. How come

0:11:58.360 --> 0:12:00.640
<v Speaker 1>katches don't do a better job at hiding their signals

0:12:01.200 --> 0:12:03.439
<v Speaker 1>if it's I mean, I feel as part of them

0:12:03.559 --> 0:12:05.319
<v Speaker 1>are a catcher's called ball. I know they flash like

0:12:05.360 --> 0:12:07.720
<v Speaker 1>twelve signs, you see, that's the thing to e But

0:12:07.840 --> 0:12:10.320
<v Speaker 1>obviously they're not doing a good enough job. They're getting

0:12:10.360 --> 0:12:12.680
<v Speaker 1>picked off. All well, if you know the center field

0:12:12.679 --> 0:12:16.120
<v Speaker 1>camera is the one that they could be cheating off of,

0:12:16.640 --> 0:12:19.400
<v Speaker 1>then you know it's one thing to have the camera

0:12:19.440 --> 0:12:21.079
<v Speaker 1>there the guy on second base. If there's a guy

0:12:21.080 --> 0:12:24.360
<v Speaker 1>on second base, then you change up your signals. I

0:12:24.400 --> 0:12:27.280
<v Speaker 1>mean we did that in high school where if somebody

0:12:27.400 --> 0:12:31.720
<v Speaker 1>was at second base, you know, three was a fastball

0:12:31.760 --> 0:12:33.480
<v Speaker 1>instead of a one is offense we had it was

0:12:33.520 --> 0:12:36.439
<v Speaker 1>so rudimentary. It would be like one, two was a curve,

0:12:36.520 --> 0:12:38.720
<v Speaker 1>a hook, and then three would be a change up

0:12:38.880 --> 0:12:41.120
<v Speaker 1>or whatever. You know we were throwing at the time,

0:12:41.480 --> 0:12:44.200
<v Speaker 1>that's all. But you didn't really because you didn't think

0:12:44.240 --> 0:12:46.520
<v Speaker 1>that player was going to be able to telegraph it

0:12:46.559 --> 0:12:49.560
<v Speaker 1>and you know, get the information to the hitter. And

0:12:49.600 --> 0:12:52.040
<v Speaker 1>then you start to realize that you would just lead

0:12:52.120 --> 0:12:56.360
<v Speaker 1>off second you put one finger down or two or three,

0:12:56.400 --> 0:12:58.480
<v Speaker 1>and that told the hit or what was coming. But

0:12:58.559 --> 0:13:01.400
<v Speaker 1>now I got technology where there's a camera, there's a monitor,

0:13:01.440 --> 0:13:03.280
<v Speaker 1>I can go in and see it in real time.

0:13:03.679 --> 0:13:07.120
<v Speaker 1>You're banging a damn drum. Yeah, Paul. If I were

0:13:07.160 --> 0:13:09.480
<v Speaker 1>a catcher, I really think I would like actually announce

0:13:09.520 --> 0:13:11.800
<v Speaker 1>what the pitch was to mess with the hitter. But

0:13:11.840 --> 0:13:13.800
<v Speaker 1>it's something else that's being signaled to the pitcher from

0:13:14.000 --> 0:13:16.680
<v Speaker 1>the dugout. But imagine if as he goes into his strategy,

0:13:16.800 --> 0:13:19.040
<v Speaker 1>like here comes the fastball and it just gets in

0:13:19.080 --> 0:13:21.480
<v Speaker 1>the guy's mind, but he's throwing something completely out well

0:13:21.520 --> 0:13:25.760
<v Speaker 1>bull Durham, he did that to Nukeleluch setting up nuke Yeah, yeah,

0:13:25.960 --> 0:13:28.600
<v Speaker 1>get ready for the heater. Thank you can thank me? Yes,

0:13:29.200 --> 0:13:31.760
<v Speaker 1>what do you think they do in football to decode audibles.

0:13:31.800 --> 0:13:34.560
<v Speaker 1>You know, there's a huge science going on there. I

0:13:34.559 --> 0:13:37.920
<v Speaker 1>don't know if there's legal or illegal, but I've heard

0:13:37.960 --> 0:13:40.880
<v Speaker 1>they're supercomputers that broke down Peyton Manning's audible count for

0:13:40.960 --> 0:13:44.040
<v Speaker 1>defenses I have. But you also, in college, you'll have

0:13:44.160 --> 0:13:48.480
<v Speaker 1>like four quarterbacks and they're all signaling. In Clemson was

0:13:48.520 --> 0:13:52.720
<v Speaker 1>doing this. Everybody's signaling in stuff, but the audible when

0:13:52.760 --> 0:13:56.920
<v Speaker 1>you change the play, if you know that yellow weasel

0:13:58.280 --> 0:14:01.559
<v Speaker 1>is going to be weak side, if we know that,

0:14:01.800 --> 0:14:05.640
<v Speaker 1>then defensives are going to know that. Yeah. But in college, though,

0:14:05.679 --> 0:14:07.280
<v Speaker 1>they're spending more time being like, so what does the

0:14:07.280 --> 0:14:09.600
<v Speaker 1>picture of Brad Pitt and George? Is that a run

0:14:09.720 --> 0:14:13.199
<v Speaker 1>or that? I'm not sure. I just saw this. Aaron

0:14:13.360 --> 0:14:19.160
<v Speaker 1>Judge deletes a post congratulating Jose Altuve of the MVP

0:14:19.320 --> 0:14:26.880

0:20:39.400 --> 0:20:42.600
<v Speaker 1>It's called Killer Inside the Mind of Aaron Hernandez and

0:20:42.920 --> 0:20:47.000
<v Speaker 1>Dan Wetzel was executive producer this docu series. Yahoo Sports

0:20:47.080 --> 0:20:49.960
<v Speaker 1>national columnist who joins us, Now, how did you get

0:20:49.960 --> 0:20:55.440
<v Speaker 1>involved in this project? Dan Well? I covered Aaron Hernandez

0:20:55.640 --> 0:20:59.760
<v Speaker 1>is uh, you know, story from all the way back

0:20:59.760 --> 0:21:02.440
<v Speaker 1>into Florida, went into Florida. But obviously once he was

0:21:02.760 --> 0:21:08.000
<v Speaker 1>suspect of the murder of Odin Lloyd. And during the

0:21:08.119 --> 0:21:12.000
<v Speaker 1>long process of you know, multiple trials and all the

0:21:12.040 --> 0:21:15.240
<v Speaker 1>different things, Kevin Armstrong, a journalists of the New York

0:21:15.280 --> 0:21:17.320
<v Speaker 1>Daily News at the time, and I talked about doing

0:21:17.359 --> 0:21:19.639
<v Speaker 1>a book and maybe, you know, we just saw this

0:21:19.680 --> 0:21:24.200
<v Speaker 1>as a massive story that went beyond the daily headlines.

0:21:24.240 --> 0:21:26.439
<v Speaker 1>There were so many there was such depth to the

0:21:26.480 --> 0:21:30.199
<v Speaker 1>different angles to it that you know, this could be

0:21:30.240 --> 0:21:32.520
<v Speaker 1>told in a different way. And we partnered up with

0:21:32.640 --> 0:21:35.080
<v Speaker 1>a company called Black fin Out in New York City

0:21:35.119 --> 0:21:39.560
<v Speaker 1>and you know McDermott who handled the directing and and

0:21:39.680 --> 0:21:43.080
<v Speaker 1>some of the executive producing and kind of got to

0:21:43.160 --> 0:21:46.280
<v Speaker 1>work on it while in between the first and second trial.

0:21:46.440 --> 0:21:48.320
<v Speaker 1>And at that point obviously we had no idea where

0:21:48.320 --> 0:21:53.159
<v Speaker 1>it's headed, uh, you know, an acquittal on the second trial,

0:21:54.160 --> 0:21:56.600
<v Speaker 1>suicide in the prison, all the different things. So it's

0:21:56.640 --> 0:22:00.159
<v Speaker 1>been a long process to tell this story. But we

0:22:00.160 --> 0:22:03.440
<v Speaker 1>were there pretty much from you know, every day, every

0:22:03.440 --> 0:22:05.080
<v Speaker 1>step of the way. So I think we railed the

0:22:05.080 --> 0:22:09.440
<v Speaker 1>profidle a depth of a depth to the story that

0:22:09.480 --> 0:22:11.359
<v Speaker 1>you wouldn't get if you're just kind of coming in

0:22:11.560 --> 0:22:15.119
<v Speaker 1>after it became this big sensation. How did he hide

0:22:15.119 --> 0:22:19.560
<v Speaker 1>his double life from Belichick and his teammates and Robert Kraft.

0:22:21.800 --> 0:22:27.360
<v Speaker 1>You know, he had very different worlds if you if

0:22:27.359 --> 0:22:30.320
<v Speaker 1>you look at it. Um, his his friends he was

0:22:30.359 --> 0:22:34.760
<v Speaker 1>hanging out with at times. Uh, you know, they weren't Patriots.

0:22:34.760 --> 0:22:36.560
<v Speaker 1>He didn't hang out a lot with the Patriots. That's

0:22:36.560 --> 0:22:39.520
<v Speaker 1>in there. Um he wasn't connecting with the guys and

0:22:39.600 --> 0:22:42.119
<v Speaker 1>the team, which was a side of concern. So he

0:22:42.160 --> 0:22:45.280
<v Speaker 1>would be out and with with a friend of his mainland,

0:22:45.440 --> 0:22:48.800
<v Speaker 1>this guy Alexander Bradley, who was a drug and gun

0:22:49.000 --> 0:22:53.200
<v Speaker 1>deal are out of New York, out of Connecticut, and

0:22:53.800 --> 0:22:56.200
<v Speaker 1>they just had different different worlds, so nobody knew what

0:22:56.240 --> 0:22:58.919
<v Speaker 1>he was doing. He was, I mean he was. He

0:22:59.040 --> 0:23:02.520
<v Speaker 1>had He had a million different kind of hidden lives

0:23:02.560 --> 0:23:05.600
<v Speaker 1>to himself. He wrestled with his sexuality and trying to

0:23:05.640 --> 0:23:09.880
<v Speaker 1>hide that throughout high school and college. He could If

0:23:09.880 --> 0:23:11.280
<v Speaker 1>you listen to the we have a lot of the

0:23:11.359 --> 0:23:14.080
<v Speaker 1>Jailhouse Bone calls in it, and if you listen throughout

0:23:14.119 --> 0:23:17.360
<v Speaker 1>the three parts of the series, you'll hear him talking

0:23:17.920 --> 0:23:22.600
<v Speaker 1>incredibly different ways to all different types of people. He

0:23:22.640 --> 0:23:26.120
<v Speaker 1>can be as kind and as sweet to his to

0:23:26.160 --> 0:23:28.480
<v Speaker 1>his daughter or his cousin or something like that. He

0:23:28.520 --> 0:23:31.280
<v Speaker 1>can be totally different with somebody else, And so you

0:23:31.320 --> 0:23:33.359
<v Speaker 1>just see how this guy was really a chameleon. But

0:23:34.240 --> 0:23:37.680
<v Speaker 1>what he was doing at night people didn't know. So

0:23:37.840 --> 0:23:42.720
<v Speaker 1>you literally had in two thousand twelve, you had him

0:23:43.480 --> 0:23:47.720
<v Speaker 1>at the very least involved and in a double homicide

0:23:47.760 --> 0:23:50.840
<v Speaker 1>in Boston, a shooting where they drive by shooting and

0:23:50.840 --> 0:23:53.360
<v Speaker 1>then he ends up stashing the car and his cousin's garage.

0:23:53.920 --> 0:23:56.560
<v Speaker 1>Either he's a the trigger man or he's in the

0:23:56.600 --> 0:24:00.440
<v Speaker 1>car with Alexander Bradley. About a few weeks later, he

0:24:00.520 --> 0:24:02.960
<v Speaker 1>signs a forty million dollars extension with the Patriots and

0:24:03.240 --> 0:24:07.240
<v Speaker 1>plays an entire season in the NFL as as essentially

0:24:07.240 --> 0:24:10.760
<v Speaker 1>an accused double murderer. So you just have never seen

0:24:10.800 --> 0:24:14.240
<v Speaker 1>anything like this in the in football where a guy's

0:24:14.320 --> 0:24:17.400
<v Speaker 1>got that kind of a secret life going on. It's

0:24:17.440 --> 0:24:20.360
<v Speaker 1>truly football player by day at times and gangster at night.

0:24:20.400 --> 0:24:22.800
<v Speaker 1>But there were so many elements to his story that

0:24:22.880 --> 0:24:25.960
<v Speaker 1>were hidden from the people he who knew him the best,

0:24:25.960 --> 0:24:28.520
<v Speaker 1>whether it's his wife or his attorney, or the way

0:24:28.320 --> 0:24:31.280
<v Speaker 1>everyone who knew him best was shocked when he committed suicide.

0:24:31.320 --> 0:24:34.320
<v Speaker 1>He just he had a way of compartmentalizing and hiding

0:24:34.320 --> 0:24:37.200
<v Speaker 1>things from people. How much cooperation did you get from

0:24:37.240 --> 0:24:46.159
<v Speaker 1>the Patriots? It's not much, you know. There we have

0:24:46.200 --> 0:24:48.520
<v Speaker 1>a lot of NFL footage in there, we have some

0:24:48.560 --> 0:24:50.639
<v Speaker 1>former Patriots and things like that. But you know, you

0:24:50.720 --> 0:24:52.800
<v Speaker 1>weren't going to have Bill Belichick sit down for an

0:24:53.200 --> 0:24:59.200
<v Speaker 1>extensive interview on this, which is understandable. Did Aaron Hernandez

0:24:59.240 --> 0:25:07.359
<v Speaker 1>almost get away with this? Now? He well, he probably

0:25:07.359 --> 0:25:10.480
<v Speaker 1>could have gotten away with the first one. His real

0:25:10.520 --> 0:25:13.760
<v Speaker 1>problem was he got into a rivalry with with his

0:25:13.880 --> 0:25:19.000
<v Speaker 1>friend Alexander Bradley, who blamed him or testified at one point,

0:25:19.000 --> 0:25:21.560
<v Speaker 1>but had very least blamed him for shooting him in

0:25:21.600 --> 0:25:24.720
<v Speaker 1>the face in a separate incident down in Florida. There's

0:25:24.720 --> 0:25:27.040
<v Speaker 1>a lot to this thing. It's hard to put it in,

0:25:27.080 --> 0:25:29.680
<v Speaker 1>but but he was in college at that time, wasn't

0:25:29.680 --> 0:25:32.720
<v Speaker 1>he Dan he was at This was after college. N

0:25:32.760 --> 0:25:37.520
<v Speaker 1>Bradley Bradley became friends after college. Um. But Bradley says,

0:25:37.640 --> 0:25:39.800
<v Speaker 1>Hernandez shot him in the shot him in the eye,

0:25:40.160 --> 0:25:43.840
<v Speaker 1>thought he was thought Bradley was dead. Bradley survived. Bradley

0:25:43.840 --> 0:25:46.280
<v Speaker 1>basically says, I'm gonna I'm gonna kill you with revenge.

0:25:46.280 --> 0:25:49.959
<v Speaker 1>He refuses to cooperate with the police. Aaron loads up,

0:25:50.000 --> 0:25:52.600
<v Speaker 1>buys an armored car. He starts hanging out with a

0:25:52.640 --> 0:25:54.520
<v Speaker 1>couple of guys as kind of bodyguards. He's got a

0:25:54.520 --> 0:25:57.640
<v Speaker 1>lot of weapons at that point. It was a matter

0:25:57.680 --> 0:25:59.400
<v Speaker 1>of time what was going to happen. He ended up

0:25:59.480 --> 0:26:04.000
<v Speaker 1>killing Lloyd and getting caught for that. Um, you know,

0:26:04.040 --> 0:26:06.679
<v Speaker 1>could he have gotten away extensively for the for the

0:26:06.720 --> 0:26:09.520
<v Speaker 1>double homicide being involved in that. It's hard to say.

0:26:09.520 --> 0:26:12.439
<v Speaker 1>He still had the car kind of sitting in a

0:26:12.440 --> 0:26:16.240
<v Speaker 1>garage hidden in Connecticut, so maybe. But I think Aaron

0:26:16.440 --> 0:26:18.960
<v Speaker 1>was you know, he only played three years in the NFL.

0:26:19.240 --> 0:26:22.359
<v Speaker 1>He's only twenty three when he's arrested. To think he

0:26:22.359 --> 0:26:24.159
<v Speaker 1>would have gotten away with it for much longer. He

0:26:24.280 --> 0:26:28.080
<v Speaker 1>lived a life that was doomed to to pretty much

0:26:28.160 --> 0:26:32.320
<v Speaker 1>end up in some some failure at some point or

0:26:32.359 --> 0:26:35.840
<v Speaker 1>some kind of arrest or the murder of himself. He

0:26:35.920 --> 0:26:39.440
<v Speaker 1>was completely on the edge. He lived a completely outside

0:26:39.440 --> 0:26:42.320
<v Speaker 1>the bounds of normal society life while he was playing

0:26:42.359 --> 0:26:44.760
<v Speaker 1>professional football. We're talking to Dan West, So, yeah, who's

0:26:44.760 --> 0:26:48.480
<v Speaker 1>Sports Nation on columnist and executive producer The Docusearies Killer

0:26:48.520 --> 0:26:52.080
<v Speaker 1>inside the mind of Aaron Hernandez out today on Netflix.

0:26:52.119 --> 0:26:56.920
<v Speaker 1>What did you learn about his time in prison? Well,

0:26:57.000 --> 0:26:59.440
<v Speaker 1>again that that too is complicated. I mean when he

0:26:59.480 --> 0:27:02.520
<v Speaker 1>first in people, you know, he gets put on suicide

0:27:02.520 --> 0:27:04.720
<v Speaker 1>watch right away when he goes into the to the jail,

0:27:04.720 --> 0:27:07.680
<v Speaker 1>and they usually do that with anybody's facing that kind

0:27:07.720 --> 0:27:13.000
<v Speaker 1>of charges the pressure of a life sentence. The jail

0:27:13.040 --> 0:27:15.720
<v Speaker 1>officials before he's convicted say, he literally moves in and

0:27:15.880 --> 0:27:18.960
<v Speaker 1>it's almost a relief and he just there's no crying,

0:27:19.280 --> 0:27:21.399
<v Speaker 1>there's no banging on the on the door saying I

0:27:21.400 --> 0:27:24.800
<v Speaker 1>don't belong here, I need this. Nothing. All he ever did.

0:27:25.080 --> 0:27:27.760
<v Speaker 1>His only request was more protein in his in his

0:27:28.440 --> 0:27:30.720
<v Speaker 1>lunch and stuff like that. He just basically was fine

0:27:30.720 --> 0:27:33.439
<v Speaker 1>with it. There's a jailhouse cause where he's talking to

0:27:33.440 --> 0:27:35.720
<v Speaker 1>his mom, but a much he likes to sell how

0:27:35.760 --> 0:27:40.040
<v Speaker 1>cozy it is and things. But later on through through it,

0:27:40.400 --> 0:27:43.320
<v Speaker 1>I think the pressure of of being so young and

0:27:43.480 --> 0:27:46.680
<v Speaker 1>facing life without parole got to him and I think

0:27:46.720 --> 0:27:49.720
<v Speaker 1>it was the key reason why I ended up committing suicide.

0:27:49.760 --> 0:27:53.000
<v Speaker 1>Although we'll never really know. Um so after four years

0:27:53.040 --> 0:27:56.160
<v Speaker 1>in he ends up committing suicide and in the state

0:27:56.600 --> 0:27:59.240
<v Speaker 1>in the maximum security at that point he'd been convicted

0:27:59.240 --> 0:28:02.719
<v Speaker 1>and was in a much rougher prison, and I think

0:28:02.800 --> 0:28:04.800
<v Speaker 1>that just kind of wore him down and got it

0:28:04.840 --> 0:28:06.840
<v Speaker 1>so he ends up killing himself the twenty seven but

0:28:08.440 --> 0:28:14.560
<v Speaker 1>very interesting dynamics there on both an ability to adapt immediately,

0:28:15.000 --> 0:28:17.920
<v Speaker 1>but also struggle with the fights and the discipline and

0:28:18.760 --> 0:28:22.280
<v Speaker 1>just the sheer difficulty of facing where would have been,

0:28:22.320 --> 0:28:25.639
<v Speaker 1>you know, fifty sixty more years. Yeah, he was a

0:28:25.800 --> 0:28:29.800
<v Speaker 1>want to be gangster. Felt like he's hiding his u sexuality.

0:28:31.320 --> 0:28:33.560
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if CTE plays a role in this.

0:28:34.080 --> 0:28:37.640
<v Speaker 1>Is there a part of this documenteries where the audience

0:28:37.760 --> 0:28:41.000
<v Speaker 1>is going to come away with, you know, a theme

0:28:41.040 --> 0:28:45.840
<v Speaker 1>that sort of surprises you or blows you away. I

0:28:45.880 --> 0:28:49.560
<v Speaker 1>think there's a number of them, um, particularly the phone

0:28:49.560 --> 0:28:54.880
<v Speaker 1>calls that really show him in an unguarded moments. There's

0:28:55.080 --> 0:28:59.400
<v Speaker 1>you know, we took a very journalistically sound approach to this.

0:28:59.440 --> 0:29:02.920
<v Speaker 1>We're not chasing the craziest rumor we can throw up

0:29:02.920 --> 0:29:05.560
<v Speaker 1>there to try to shock people like this is as

0:29:05.640 --> 0:29:07.640
<v Speaker 1>you know, we've reached out to hundreds of people and

0:29:08.200 --> 0:29:11.160
<v Speaker 1>worked this story for years, so it's it's not going

0:29:11.200 --> 0:29:13.400
<v Speaker 1>to be something where we're just throwing anything in there

0:29:13.400 --> 0:29:16.240
<v Speaker 1>and shock people. But um, I think there's a number

0:29:16.280 --> 0:29:18.240
<v Speaker 1>of them. I think you see the depth that nobody

0:29:18.240 --> 0:29:20.960
<v Speaker 1>in this in this stocky series fits into a box

0:29:21.040 --> 0:29:25.120
<v Speaker 1>very while, including Aaron hernandez h. It's it's it's real life,

0:29:25.720 --> 0:29:28.680
<v Speaker 1>it's there's there's, there's good parts and bad parts to

0:29:28.720 --> 0:29:33.200
<v Speaker 1>almost everyone involved. So he just, uh, you know, why

0:29:33.440 --> 0:29:35.760
<v Speaker 1>has always been the story. I think it would be

0:29:35.920 --> 0:29:38.320
<v Speaker 1>unfair to just make a determination on that. I think

0:29:38.320 --> 0:29:41.719
<v Speaker 1>it was a perfect cocktail of different things. Abuse as

0:29:41.720 --> 0:29:45.160
<v Speaker 1>a child, is dad passing away. I think the decision

0:29:45.160 --> 0:29:47.320
<v Speaker 1>to go to Florida wasn't great for him. I think

0:29:47.680 --> 0:29:52.000
<v Speaker 1>CTE playing a role probably or could have, um, you know,

0:29:52.040 --> 0:29:54.160
<v Speaker 1>an interest in being a gangster, all the different things.

0:29:54.240 --> 0:29:59.560
<v Speaker 1>And we're not trying to excuse Aaron's behavior because he

0:29:59.720 --> 0:30:03.040
<v Speaker 1>made these decisions and these decisions, as we point out,

0:30:03.120 --> 0:30:06.040
<v Speaker 1>and spent a lot of time with the victims, you know,

0:30:06.720 --> 0:30:10.400
<v Speaker 1>ruined lives, ended lives adversely affected a lot of lives

0:30:10.440 --> 0:30:13.600
<v Speaker 1>that had nothing to do with him, people he didn't know.

0:30:14.760 --> 0:30:18.680
<v Speaker 1>But we do try to explain just the myriad circumstances

0:30:18.720 --> 0:30:21.320
<v Speaker 1>around this to try to figure out why we've had

0:30:21.400 --> 0:30:23.600
<v Speaker 1>this because this is just a story we've never seen.

0:30:24.200 --> 0:30:28.000
<v Speaker 1>You talk about NFL murders, you know, OJ Simpson and

0:30:28.040 --> 0:30:31.320
<v Speaker 1>things like that, and obviously just you know, an incredible

0:30:31.360 --> 0:30:35.520
<v Speaker 1>story in its own right, obviously, but OJ was retired.

0:30:35.640 --> 0:30:38.240
<v Speaker 1>OJ was caught up in domestic violence. Like these are

0:30:38.320 --> 0:30:43.160
<v Speaker 1>things we've seen before. They aren't that uncommon in the world. Sadly,

0:30:43.880 --> 0:30:46.480
<v Speaker 1>we've never seen this. You just don't see a guy

0:30:46.560 --> 0:30:49.840
<v Speaker 1>driving around shooting people, being involved in you know, as

0:30:49.840 --> 0:30:53.680
<v Speaker 1>many as seven shootings and three three homicides all by

0:30:53.720 --> 0:30:57.200
<v Speaker 1>twenty three while being a professional athlete, highly functioning. I

0:30:57.240 --> 0:30:59.920
<v Speaker 1>mean that caught a touchdown pass on the Super Bowl.

0:31:01.400 --> 0:31:03.520
<v Speaker 1>He's able to you know, he's able to conform with

0:31:03.560 --> 0:31:07.040
<v Speaker 1>the Patriots. He has this beautiful mansion of loving fiance,

0:31:07.360 --> 0:31:10.480
<v Speaker 1>the baby. He does everything at times to show how

0:31:10.520 --> 0:31:13.040
<v Speaker 1>I'm making it, and then on the other side he's

0:31:13.080 --> 0:31:15.520
<v Speaker 1>doing something completely opposite. And that's just sort of the

0:31:15.560 --> 0:31:19.200
<v Speaker 1>way he lived his life. Dan, Thank you, good stuff.

0:31:19.240 --> 0:31:22.520
<v Speaker 1>It's out today on Netflix. It's called Killer Inside the

0:31:22.560 --> 0:31:24.640
<v Speaker 1>Mind of Aaron Hernandez. Great to catch up with you.

0:31:24.720 --> 0:31:28.960
<v Speaker 1>Thank you, Dan. That's good Dan. Take care you could

0:31:29.040 --> 0:31:33.360
<v Speaker 1>hear that left an impact on Dan weinstell when you

0:31:33.400 --> 0:31:36.640
<v Speaker 1>start to be around this, and you know, for us,

0:31:36.800 --> 0:31:39.880
<v Speaker 1>when you read something or watch something, we're still removed

0:31:39.920 --> 0:31:41.920
<v Speaker 1>from it. It can still have an impact on you.

0:31:41.960 --> 0:31:45.400
<v Speaker 1>But when you're talking to these people, when you're researching,

0:31:45.400 --> 0:31:50.480
<v Speaker 1>when you're listening to those phone conversations in prison, that

0:31:50.640 --> 0:31:53.720
<v Speaker 1>stays with you. It's like when you have writers who

0:31:53.760 --> 0:31:56.720
<v Speaker 1>will investigate a murder, they're going to write a book,

0:31:56.840 --> 0:31:59.520
<v Speaker 1>and then all of a sudden you get caught up

0:31:59.560 --> 0:32:03.720
<v Speaker 1>in that and what that feels like and stays with you.

0:32:04.400 --> 0:32:09.040
<v Speaker 1>Do you remember the It was an officer in the

0:32:09.120 --> 0:32:12.840
<v Speaker 1>military and he ended up killing his family and then

0:32:12.920 --> 0:32:18.120
<v Speaker 1>wrote Pigs on the Wall and there he was. He's

0:32:18.120 --> 0:32:21.360
<v Speaker 1>still in prison, Jeffrey McDonald. Do you remember that name?

0:32:22.280 --> 0:32:25.280
<v Speaker 1>What was the name of that book, mclovin. I know

0:32:25.320 --> 0:32:26.960
<v Speaker 1>exactly what you're talking about. It's a big book. I'll

0:32:26.960 --> 0:32:29.680
<v Speaker 1>look it up. But that was a huge deal. But

0:32:29.680 --> 0:32:33.200
<v Speaker 1>but didn't the writer all of a sudden realize that

0:32:33.280 --> 0:32:37.160
<v Speaker 1>Jeffrey McDonald was the murderer and then he wrote a book.

0:32:37.320 --> 0:32:40.200
<v Speaker 1>It's not Ken Follett, it's um. I'm trying to think

0:32:40.200 --> 0:32:44.040
<v Speaker 1>who that author is, but he was. He was working

0:32:44.120 --> 0:32:48.959
<v Speaker 1>with the military man Jeffrey McDonald, and then he started

0:32:49.040 --> 0:32:51.560
<v Speaker 1>realizing this is the murderer, this is who did it.

0:32:51.640 --> 0:32:54.600
<v Speaker 1>And then he wrote the book Vision Fatal Vision, and

0:32:55.680 --> 0:33:01.000
<v Speaker 1>Joe okay, Joe McKennis, Yeah, yeah, exactly it was. Yeah,

0:33:01.080 --> 0:33:03.360
<v Speaker 1>you had exactly right. The author didn't know exactly what

0:33:03.480 --> 0:33:05.960
<v Speaker 1>had happened and then came to realize that. But the

0:33:06.240 --> 0:33:09.560
<v Speaker 1>you know, Dan Wetzel and you know this group that

0:33:09.680 --> 0:33:11.880
<v Speaker 1>was putting on the documentaries, they didn't get a chance

0:33:11.880 --> 0:33:15.560
<v Speaker 1>to really be able to interview Aaron Hernandez, Like this

0:33:15.640 --> 0:33:17.440
<v Speaker 1>is after the fact where you now you go in

0:33:17.480 --> 0:33:20.360
<v Speaker 1>and you start to explore just who was this? How

0:33:20.400 --> 0:33:24.440
<v Speaker 1>did you hide this? You're with the Patriots, You're there

0:33:24.440 --> 0:33:29.000
<v Speaker 1>for three years, Robert Kraft is giving you a contract extension.

0:33:29.040 --> 0:33:33.160
<v Speaker 1>You're with Florida. I mean, I mean, I understand how

0:33:33.680 --> 0:33:35.920
<v Speaker 1>you could have gotten away with stuff in college, but

0:33:36.000 --> 0:33:39.640
<v Speaker 1>with the Patriots, it just feels like in that community,

0:33:39.760 --> 0:33:43.160
<v Speaker 1>somebody sees something or hears something. And there's one player

0:33:43.200 --> 0:33:47.680
<v Speaker 1>who said that he was alone with Aaron Hernandez one time,

0:33:47.880 --> 0:33:51.120
<v Speaker 1>I believe, in the hallway or working out and was afraid,

0:33:52.360 --> 0:33:56.200
<v Speaker 1>like he just had killer oz, Like he looked at

0:33:56.240 --> 0:33:59.480
<v Speaker 1>you and I think this had to do with hazing,

0:34:00.080 --> 0:34:02.760
<v Speaker 1>that a veteran wanted to haze Aaron Hernandez and then

0:34:02.880 --> 0:34:06.000
<v Speaker 1>realize that ain't happening. Yeah, Paul, And if you look

0:34:06.040 --> 0:34:08.920
<v Speaker 1>back at it two eleven, twenty twelve, when Aaron Hernandez

0:34:08.960 --> 0:34:11.640
<v Speaker 1>got his new contract, Gronk was the wild one. Gronk

0:34:11.719 --> 0:34:13.520
<v Speaker 1>was the guy getting in trouble and being in Yeah,

0:34:13.520 --> 0:34:15.799
<v Speaker 1>we were worried about Gronk social media and things he

0:34:15.840 --> 0:34:18.360
<v Speaker 1>was doing, and Aaron Hernandez was the quiet one, the

0:34:18.400 --> 0:34:21.760
<v Speaker 1>better receiver. Gronk was the tough guy, blocker with great hands.

0:34:22.000 --> 0:34:24.680
<v Speaker 1>But there's there's nothing about this. You can't find stories

0:34:24.680 --> 0:34:29.000
<v Speaker 1>about Aaron Hernandez before it went berserk. Yes, and some

0:34:29.040 --> 0:34:31.200
<v Speaker 1>of those prison calls, he's talking to family members and

0:34:31.239 --> 0:34:33.719
<v Speaker 1>he seemed so calm and just okay with the fact

0:34:33.760 --> 0:34:35.719
<v Speaker 1>like this he realized he could be spending like the

0:34:35.719 --> 0:34:37.680
<v Speaker 1>rest of his life in a little fellow went when

0:34:37.719 --> 0:34:39.600
<v Speaker 1>he was on a mansion with a fiancegan the daughter.

0:34:39.719 --> 0:34:41.600
<v Speaker 1>And on the other hand, he snaps at the club,

0:34:41.600 --> 0:34:43.520
<v Speaker 1>supposedly because someone spilled a drink on him, so he

0:34:43.560 --> 0:34:45.600
<v Speaker 1>wants to run out and kill a couple of people.

0:34:45.719 --> 0:34:48.080
<v Speaker 1>The same prison. That's totally calm about being locked away

0:34:48.120 --> 0:34:50.759
<v Speaker 1>in prison. And I know that they talk about CTE

0:34:50.760 --> 0:34:53.279
<v Speaker 1>and did that play a role, I don't know. I

0:34:53.320 --> 0:34:57.560
<v Speaker 1>think they studied his brain. I think yeah, I think

0:34:57.560 --> 0:35:00.719
<v Speaker 1>they did it and they found tell tale side of CD.

0:35:02.200 --> 0:35:05.200
<v Speaker 1>But you'll you'll find that with football players. I've been

0:35:05.239 --> 0:35:08.759
<v Speaker 1>around a notable football player, former football player, and he

0:35:08.800 --> 0:35:12.760
<v Speaker 1>could be all the way over here sincere genuine nice

0:35:13.360 --> 0:35:15.600
<v Speaker 1>warm and then he could be over here and you're going,

0:35:15.840 --> 0:35:20.680
<v Speaker 1>who is this? And it could be in the same day.

0:35:20.719 --> 0:35:23.040
<v Speaker 1>All right, we'll take a break here. We'll get phone

0:35:23.040 --> 0:35:26.839
<v Speaker 1>calls coming up. Also, Antonio Gates, the former Chargers All Pro,

0:35:31.000 --> 0:35:35.160
<v Speaker 1>was entertaining. I really enjoyed that, Mken Jennings. He put

0:35:35.200 --> 0:35:40.560
<v Speaker 1>a little distance between himself and everybody else. It's been

0:37:22.520 --> 0:37:24.600
<v Speaker 1>We spent a lot of time talking about Luke Keithley.

0:37:25.520 --> 0:37:30.120
<v Speaker 1>We he talks about the Astros. CC Sabathia, the former Yankee,

0:37:30.160 --> 0:37:32.600
<v Speaker 1>now says he feels like he was cheated a little bit.

0:37:33.320 --> 0:37:35.319
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure there are some teams that feel like they

0:37:35.320 --> 0:37:37.840
<v Speaker 1>were cheated by the Yankees who were cheating with the

0:37:38.040 --> 0:37:42.000
<v Speaker 1>steroid users when they won a World seers. If I'm

0:37:42.040 --> 0:37:45.480
<v Speaker 1>a player, I don't say anything right now because you

0:37:45.480 --> 0:37:48.719
<v Speaker 1>don't even know if somehow your team may have been

0:37:48.760 --> 0:37:53.200
<v Speaker 1>doing something is doing something right now. And CC Sabathia

0:37:53.440 --> 0:37:56.759
<v Speaker 1>probably best to just not say anything. Let let the

0:37:58.239 --> 0:38:01.520
<v Speaker 1>media or let the fans give you a title. You

0:38:01.520 --> 0:38:05.480
<v Speaker 1>don't ask for the title. You want to vacate it great, vacated.

0:38:05.840 --> 0:38:09.000
<v Speaker 1>I couldn't care less. But was this a bad day?

0:38:09.840 --> 0:38:14.160
<v Speaker 1>Like these are two tough days for baseball or for

0:38:14.200 --> 0:38:17.920
<v Speaker 1>the Astros? Was this were these bad days for baseball?

0:38:19.280 --> 0:38:22.120
<v Speaker 1>Now the Red Sox you got your World Series and okay,

0:38:22.120 --> 0:38:25.600
<v Speaker 1>you lost your manager. Okay, you know the Astros. You're

0:38:25.600 --> 0:38:28.680
<v Speaker 1>gonna have an asterisk by your name at twenty seventeen.

0:38:29.320 --> 0:38:33.640
<v Speaker 1>You lost your manager, your GM. Okay, did baseball have

0:38:33.719 --> 0:38:37.319
<v Speaker 1>a is this good for baseball? And it feels like

0:38:37.480 --> 0:38:39.359
<v Speaker 1>they went at it pretty hard. I thought they could

0:38:39.360 --> 0:38:42.719
<v Speaker 1>have been tougher. I think, if you want to put

0:38:42.760 --> 0:38:46.080
<v Speaker 1>it out there that, hey, if you get caught doing this,

0:38:47.000 --> 0:38:49.799
<v Speaker 1>you get a lifetime ban. Do you remember what the

0:38:49.880 --> 0:38:52.960
<v Speaker 1>penalties were for steroids when we first started out, mcklevin.

0:38:54.040 --> 0:38:56.600
<v Speaker 1>I think I think it was like a couple of

0:38:56.960 --> 0:39:01.400
<v Speaker 1>games when you first got busted. And I remember talking

0:39:01.440 --> 0:39:05.439
<v Speaker 1>to Commissioner Selick, and you know, he kind of came

0:39:05.600 --> 0:39:08.600
<v Speaker 1>to me. I'm sure he came to other people, but

0:39:08.920 --> 0:39:11.399
<v Speaker 1>we had a conversation where he said, I just I

0:39:11.440 --> 0:39:15.399
<v Speaker 1>can't get cooperation here. I can't I can't bring all

0:39:15.440 --> 0:39:18.000
<v Speaker 1>of this together. And that's when I said, go to

0:39:18.040 --> 0:39:21.759
<v Speaker 1>the clubbies, the clubhouse guys. They know everything that's going on.

0:39:22.680 --> 0:39:26.399
<v Speaker 1>And ye. And then he said, I said, you don't

0:39:26.400 --> 0:39:30.960
<v Speaker 1>want you can really send a message by suspending somebody

0:39:30.960 --> 0:39:33.600
<v Speaker 1>an entire year. He goes, well, they'd never let me

0:39:33.640 --> 0:39:36.360
<v Speaker 1>do that. And I said, until you do that, I

0:39:36.400 --> 0:39:39.800
<v Speaker 1>would keep doing steroids, Like what's my penalty? Yes, mcclub.

0:39:40.040 --> 0:39:42.000
<v Speaker 1>In two thousand and five, they toughened the laws to

0:39:42.200 --> 0:39:44.480
<v Speaker 1>fifty games for first offense, one hundred for a second,

0:39:44.520 --> 0:39:47.440
<v Speaker 1>lifetime for third. Before that, it was ten days suspension

0:39:47.480 --> 0:39:51.120
<v Speaker 1>for first and that amazing thirty per second sixty. Yeah,

0:39:51.239 --> 0:39:54.279
<v Speaker 1>isn't that amazing? Like if you get caught once, you

0:39:54.360 --> 0:39:58.760
<v Speaker 1>don't get another chance. Whatever you put in your body,

0:39:59.040 --> 0:40:01.240
<v Speaker 1>you're putting it in your body. Know what you're putting

0:40:01.239 --> 0:40:03.719
<v Speaker 1>in your body. We have a hotline. We'll tell you

0:40:03.719 --> 0:40:06.200
<v Speaker 1>everything that you can and cannot put in your body.

0:40:06.520 --> 0:40:09.400
<v Speaker 1>It's up to you. You get popped, I'll set you

0:40:09.440 --> 0:40:12.200
<v Speaker 1>down for a season. Now they're doing what sixty or

0:40:12.239 --> 0:40:14.600
<v Speaker 1>they're doing eighty games, now sixty games something like that.

0:40:14.640 --> 0:40:18.720
<v Speaker 1>Half a season, no pay, okay, but until you really

0:40:19.040 --> 0:40:22.319
<v Speaker 1>if you want a curb cheating, you know where you're

0:40:22.400 --> 0:40:28.359
<v Speaker 1>using technology, it'll be a lifetime bat What happens when

0:40:28.520 --> 0:40:32.320
<v Speaker 1>you know betting is going to be running rampant, everybody's

0:40:32.320 --> 0:40:33.759
<v Speaker 1>going to be able to bet, and then you have

0:40:34.160 --> 0:40:37.320
<v Speaker 1>the one thing we want to know is is something fixed?

0:40:38.640 --> 0:40:43.040
<v Speaker 1>Like we can't leave that topic with the NBA because

0:40:43.120 --> 0:40:46.080
<v Speaker 1>in our minds, Tim donaghee at least put it there

0:40:46.120 --> 0:40:50.279
<v Speaker 1>and said, hey, you know what that Lakers Sacramento King

0:40:50.400 --> 0:40:54.160
<v Speaker 1>series was fixed, whether it was or not. Now you

0:40:54.239 --> 0:40:57.000
<v Speaker 1>think when there's an outcome, a questionable outcome, or when

0:40:57.040 --> 0:41:00.640
<v Speaker 1>an official season play doesn't see a play the ruling

0:41:00.640 --> 0:41:03.399
<v Speaker 1>on the field, you know, now you have something like this.

0:41:04.120 --> 0:41:07.279
<v Speaker 1>I don't know how much money changed hands with the

0:41:07.320 --> 0:41:09.600
<v Speaker 1>outcome of the twenty seventeen World Series. I don't know.

0:41:10.320 --> 0:41:13.080
<v Speaker 1>But once you get people who are losing money here,

0:41:14.360 --> 0:41:17.040
<v Speaker 1>that's when things get really serious and could get ugly

0:41:17.360 --> 0:41:22.000
<v Speaker 1>for some of these people involved. All right, Jeopardy ended

0:41:22.080 --> 0:41:25.000
<v Speaker 1>last night and you have the greatest of all time,

0:41:25.080 --> 0:41:28.160
<v Speaker 1>Ken Jennings. I thought it was really funny that they

0:41:28.280 --> 0:41:32.160
<v Speaker 1>you know, him and James holds Up Holdsower. They went

0:41:32.200 --> 0:41:36.160
<v Speaker 1>back and forth and it was entertaining different personalities there,

0:41:36.560 --> 0:41:39.560
<v Speaker 1>but Ken Jennings got the last last Yeah po and

0:41:39.680 --> 0:41:41.680
<v Speaker 1>Jennings did an interview afterwards, and he said he had

0:41:41.680 --> 0:41:44.920
<v Speaker 1>to adjust his entire strategy based off Holtower, who was

0:41:44.960 --> 0:41:47.400
<v Speaker 1>more of a better He's a gambler at Jeopardy here,

0:41:47.400 --> 0:41:50.080
<v Speaker 1>he's more like odds of you when you bet and

0:41:50.080 --> 0:41:52.560
<v Speaker 1>when you max out your bankroll, and so he said,

0:41:52.600 --> 0:41:54.719
<v Speaker 1>he bet deffinitely, but his brain was the same as

0:41:54.719 --> 0:41:57.400
<v Speaker 1>far as guessing and the great smack talk there because

0:41:57.680 --> 0:42:00.480
<v Speaker 1>Ken Jennings said, Hey, I'm going to start following James

0:42:00.480 --> 0:42:04.319
<v Speaker 1>Holdshower on Twitter because well he's been following me all

0:42:04.360 --> 0:42:09.480
<v Speaker 1>week on Jeopardy. It was good. It was that that's

0:42:09.520 --> 0:42:13.480
<v Speaker 1>a that's a nerd takedown. That's as good as it gets,

0:42:14.400 --> 0:42:18.799
<v Speaker 1>right McLellan. He had another one h where I think

0:42:18.880 --> 0:42:21.200
<v Speaker 1>James holdshowers where it's all about the timing are on

0:42:21.200 --> 0:42:23.840
<v Speaker 1>your button. Ken Jennings says something like it was like

0:42:24.000 --> 0:42:25.799
<v Speaker 1>that's what your wife said to me or something say

0:42:25.880 --> 0:42:28.799
<v Speaker 1>that there was great. Yeah, this a week they'd been

0:42:28.840 --> 0:42:33.520
<v Speaker 1>going wait, wait, wait, wait, I can't Ken Jennings went there,

0:42:33.960 --> 0:42:36.520
<v Speaker 1>I believe so, yes, how many codes have you broke?

0:42:36.600 --> 0:42:43.160
<v Speaker 1>Jennings boom, that's a nerd smackdog Yeah, um yeah, but

0:42:43.160 --> 0:42:46.320
<v Speaker 1>it's still fun to see. Now, if you're Ken Jennings,

0:42:47.000 --> 0:42:51.880
<v Speaker 1>do you do you retire now? Yeah? I don't want

0:42:51.920 --> 0:42:53.799
<v Speaker 1>to be morbid about this, but down the road when

0:42:53.840 --> 0:42:56.400
<v Speaker 1>Alex trebec is no longer the host of Jeopardy, Ken

0:42:56.520 --> 0:42:58.560
<v Speaker 1>Jennings makes a lot of sense for the host because

0:42:59.280 --> 0:43:01.840
<v Speaker 1>he can get he's very recognigeable to the players. I

0:43:01.840 --> 0:43:05.160
<v Speaker 1>think he's probably well liked by the fans, and it's

0:43:05.200 --> 0:43:08.000
<v Speaker 1>a probably kind of person that would slide in without

0:43:08.040 --> 0:43:11.200
<v Speaker 1>a negative fan reaction. Who do you want to see again?

0:43:11.400 --> 0:43:19.200
<v Speaker 1>Ken Jennings or James Holshowner because Holdtower was really entertaining.

0:43:19.680 --> 0:43:23.160
<v Speaker 1>Jennings was entertaining because he's so impressive. I think you're

0:43:23.200 --> 0:43:25.400
<v Speaker 1>just you're watching and you're going he's not going to

0:43:25.440 --> 0:43:28.680
<v Speaker 1>miss any But Holdtower is a character there, and I

0:43:28.760 --> 0:43:33.719
<v Speaker 1>do agree that he played as a gambler. And you know,

0:43:33.800 --> 0:43:36.279
<v Speaker 1>if you watch Jeopardy, sometimes somebody will go into a

0:43:36.280 --> 0:43:38.640
<v Speaker 1>category because they know the category. They'll just go right

0:43:38.760 --> 0:43:43.319
<v Speaker 1>from top to bottom. And I remember where you. We

0:43:43.400 --> 0:43:46.719
<v Speaker 1>actually had a category for Todd when we did the

0:43:46.960 --> 0:43:49.080
<v Speaker 1>Sports Jeopardy and I didn't time it right and I

0:43:49.120 --> 0:43:52.240
<v Speaker 1>could have rattled off astro and bronco questions, and guys

0:43:52.239 --> 0:43:55.399
<v Speaker 1>beat me to it because we're trying to figure out okay,

0:43:55.719 --> 0:43:58.359
<v Speaker 1>because it was Pauli and Nick Lovin and they were

0:43:58.600 --> 0:44:00.880
<v Speaker 1>pretty evenly matched. And then we're trying to help you,

0:44:01.520 --> 0:44:04.640
<v Speaker 1>and then you got angry on Sports Jeopardy. It's very frustrating.

0:44:04.760 --> 0:44:08.200
<v Speaker 1>During the break, I had like engineers come over to

0:44:08.200 --> 0:44:10.040
<v Speaker 1>make sure my thing was plugged in right now. Every

0:44:10.080 --> 0:44:14.040
<v Speaker 1>time I'm pressing, it's not working for me. Ah that

0:44:14.200 --> 0:44:16.960
<v Speaker 1>that that is looking back. That was a very tense

0:44:17.040 --> 0:44:20.279
<v Speaker 1>couple hours because it moves very fast Jeopardy. You don't

0:44:20.480 --> 0:44:22.680
<v Speaker 1>when you're hosting Dan, you don't take a pause, You

0:44:22.680 --> 0:44:25.839
<v Speaker 1>don't get a break. You those questions are flying. There's

0:44:25.840 --> 0:44:28.879
<v Speaker 1>no time out. McLevin. This is kind of saucy here.

0:44:29.080 --> 0:44:33.120
<v Speaker 1>What's the back and forth with Ken Jennings and James Holshower. Yeah,

0:44:33.160 --> 0:44:35.840
<v Speaker 1>I Ken Jennings has a very black sense of humor.

0:44:36.360 --> 0:44:39.799
<v Speaker 1>It's really interesting. Okay, Well, who says my wife is

0:44:39.840 --> 0:44:43.040
<v Speaker 1>going to make that that's Hols hour. So Holshower says,

0:44:43.080 --> 0:44:46.080
<v Speaker 1>my wife's gonna make me role play as Ken Jennings tonight.

0:44:46.719 --> 0:44:53.200
<v Speaker 1>So why would he would say, uh, that's good stuff.

0:44:53.239 --> 0:44:55.080
<v Speaker 1>Remember wholes Hower was a guest on this show. He

0:44:55.120 --> 0:44:59.920
<v Speaker 1>was kind of funny. Yeah, awkward, odd, but really entertaining.

0:45:02.000 --> 0:45:04.120
<v Speaker 1>Take a break, got one more hour to go On

0:45:04.120 --> 0:45:07.600
