1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,400
Speaker 1: Welcome back to Unplugged. In the midst of a crazy

2
00:00:03,440 --> 00:00:06,520
Speaker 1: first round wildcard weekend where my nighters went into Philly

3
00:00:06,519 --> 00:00:10,240
Speaker 1: and handled business, there was a heartwarming moment between Lynn

4
00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:13,840
Speaker 1: Jones Turpin of the Jacksonville Free Press and the head

5
00:00:13,880 --> 00:00:16,239
Speaker 1: coach of the Jacksonville Jaguars, Liam Cohen.

6
00:00:16,720 --> 00:00:19,799
Speaker 2: Take a listen to this, Lyn Jones, Jacksonville Free Press News.

7
00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:22,200
Speaker 2: I just want to tell you congratulations on your success,

8
00:00:22,239 --> 00:00:24,360
Speaker 2: young man. You hold your head up, all right. You

00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:27,200
Speaker 2: guys have had a most magnificent season. He did a

00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:29,520
Speaker 2: great job out there today. So you just hold your

00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:32,760

Speaker 2: all right and keep it going. We got another season, okay.

13
00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:37,400
Speaker 2: I appreciate take care of much continued success to you

14
00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:39,000
Speaker 2: and the entire team. Thank you man.

15
00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:44,960
Speaker 1: Immediately after this legacy media started taking shots and Miss Jones,

16
00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:52,120
Speaker 1: Jeff Pearlman, Shady McCoy, Jamel Hill all took shots at

17
00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:56,920
Speaker 1: journalistic etiquette. Mike Harrington of the Buffalo News said, awesome,

18
00:00:57,040 --> 00:01:00,720
Speaker 1: are you serious? That's not a reporter that shouldn't even

19
00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:03,959
Speaker 1: have her credential. Mark Long, who covers the Jacksonville Jaguars

20
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:08,559
Speaker 1: for the Associated Press. Nothing awesome about fans slash fake

21
00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:11,600
Speaker 1: media doing stuff like this. It should be embarrassing for

22
00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:14,920
Speaker 1: the people who credentialed her and her organization, and it

23
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:17,440
Speaker 1: is a waste of time for those who actually are

24
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:21,000
Speaker 1: working twenty seven seconds. Huh. Jamel Hill, someone who is

25
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:23,080
Speaker 1: a dear friend of the show and a good friend

26
00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:28,480
Speaker 1: of mine, said that can't be a reporter, because if so,

27
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:32,560
Speaker 1: I would not have used the term awesome. Jeff Pearlman,

28
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:34,720
Speaker 1: someone who I sat down not too long ago with

29
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:41,039
Speaker 1: the TUPAC book. He said, lovely, Yes against the media role. Yes,

30
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:45,160
Speaker 1: let fans cheer. Jeff. I'm not singling you out because

31
00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:47,520
Speaker 1: I want to go off on everyone, but I've been

32
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:50,000
Speaker 1: looking at you lately since we sat down, and all

33
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:53,840
Speaker 1: I'm seeing is just negativity. Every post is literally the

34
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:56,720
Speaker 1: worst person in baseball. This guy was the biggest asshole.

35
00:01:57,120 --> 00:01:59,760
Speaker 1: Have you ever thought about the reciprocated energy they may

36
00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:02,400
Speaker 1: just be giving you. Maybe they don't like your entitlement

37
00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:04,960
Speaker 1: and the energy you give, so instead of them being

38
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:07,240
Speaker 1: an assholes, maybe they're just giving you back the energy

39
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:09,400
Speaker 1: you give them. Maybe they just don't like you. It

40
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:12,000
Speaker 1: doesn't make them assholes. They just don't like you. So

41
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:15,000
Speaker 1: look in the mirror sometimes because, like I said, every

42
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:17,440
Speaker 1: time I look at you, you're telling the world who

43
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:19,680
Speaker 1: is the biggest assholes and who's this and who's that,

44
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:22,040
Speaker 1: instead of owning up to how you act. And maybe

45
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:24,840
Speaker 1: that's the energy they just gave you back. Shady McCoy

46
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:27,280
Speaker 1: another friend of the program, somebody come get they mom

47
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 1: at the Saint the Little League where we all get

48
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:34,560
Speaker 1: appreciation trophies. And finally my guy Pat McAfee stepped up

49
00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:37,160
Speaker 1: and has something to say about all this negative drama,

50
00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:38,240
Speaker 1: negative energy.

51
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:43,480
Speaker 3: Hey yeah, good stuff. And then you know, everybody in

52
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:51,120
Speaker 3: the sports journalism world say, this is our line. That's unbelievable.

53
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:52,560
Speaker 2: Can't do it, can't have it.

54
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:55,840
Speaker 3: What are we doing here? We got deadlines? What's your deadline?

55
00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:57,640
Speaker 3: A tweet? What are we even talking about now? In

56
00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:01,000
Speaker 3: twenty twenty six about a deadline? Ever, everybody's on a deadline.

57
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:04,800
Speaker 3: First tweet out wins in everything. We are all trying

58
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:07,600
Speaker 3: to post stuff now at the same exact time. Now,

59
00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:09,160
Speaker 3: I know, you got to write an entire article, and

60
00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:11,960
Speaker 3: those twenty seven seconds can certainly change, especially if those

61
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:14,680
Speaker 3: twenty seven seconds are supposed to be meant on miserable

62
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:18,440
Speaker 3: terrible things. Okay, if they're supposed to be miserable terrible things,

63
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:21,240
Speaker 3: those twenty seven seconds aren't wasted. If those are dumb

64
00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:23,440
Speaker 3: questions about things that you don't have right that happened

65
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:25,720
Speaker 3: on a football field that you just thought were happening,

66
00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:29,000
Speaker 3: those twenty seven seconds are okay, but a positive Hey,

67
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:33,360
Speaker 3: you did good for us this year. We appreciate you

68
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:36,600
Speaker 3: for twenty seven seconds. Can't have it, no, no, wait

69
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 3: for it, can't happen. It's like, what a weird thing

70
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:44,280
Speaker 3: to come out publicly and say this is disgusting.

71
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:47,400
Speaker 1: Who do you think you are to say that?

72
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 3: You think that's disgusting in the matter, It's like that

73
00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:52,000
Speaker 3: is a crazy thing about the sports media people.

74
00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:54,520
Speaker 1: So that's my brother Pat mckieve right there. Finally someone

75
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:59,120
Speaker 1: stepping up and saying what is wrong with showing some love?

76
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:01,880
Speaker 1: What is wrong with showing some positivity? I think we

77
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:06,160
Speaker 1: live in such a brainwashed world and media cycle now

78
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:09,400
Speaker 1: where only negativity is allowed. I mean, let's keep it real.

79
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:12,080
Speaker 1: This is the team's second best record in franchise history,

80
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:16,800
Speaker 1: most wins since nineteen ninety nine, nineteen hundred and ninety nine.

81
00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:19,839
Speaker 1: That was the most win since nineteen hundred and ninety nine,

82
00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:23,800
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, a thirty second almost verbal,

83
00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:25,560
Speaker 1: let me give you a hug because you were a

84
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:27,680
Speaker 1: first year coach. You guys did a good job. Although

85
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:30,239
Speaker 1: you fell short, you still had a very solid season.

86
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:32,720
Speaker 1: And I think what bothers me more about this is

87
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:34,680
Speaker 1: nine and a half. I'll only say nine and a

88
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:36,960
Speaker 1: half out of ten because Shady definitely did his thing

89
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:38,560
Speaker 1: on the field nine and a half at a ten.

90
00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:42,680
Speaker 1: Of these people who critique or or felt this is

91
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:44,880
Speaker 1: out of line, or people who couldn't fucking chew gum

92
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:47,200
Speaker 1: and tie the shoe at the same time, people who

93
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:51,000
Speaker 1: couldn't have doesn't have any athletic background at all. But

94
00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:55,880
Speaker 1: it's okay to always spout negative bullshit towards people not

95
00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:58,520
Speaker 1: understanding what it takes to be a professional athlete, not

96
00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:01,760
Speaker 1: understanding what it takes to get thirteen wins in the NFL,

97
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:06,640
Speaker 1: not understanding what it takes to make the playoffs. But

98
00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:11,080
Speaker 1: let someone show some love for thirty seconds, and it's

99
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:14,279
Speaker 1: the end of the world. Thankfully, our girl, Lynn Jones

100
00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:17,400
Speaker 1: was very unbothered as she appeared on a local Jacksonville

101
00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:19,200
Speaker 1: Network this morning, and this was her reaction.

102
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:22,479
Speaker 4: So Adam Schefner wrote, this is an awesome post game

103
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:25,600
Speaker 4: exchange between a reporter and Jack's head coach. But then

104
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:28,440
Speaker 4: Mark Long, who's an AP reporter, kind of went in

105
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:31,040
Speaker 4: on this and he said nothing awesome about this, called

106
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:33,920
Speaker 4: you fake media, said that you shouldn't even have been

107
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:36,840
Speaker 4: up there asking those kind of questions. So when you

108
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:38,920
Speaker 4: are that, how did that make you feel?

109
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:42,720
Speaker 2: I don't take no fence to it. Listen, I've been

110
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:45,400
Speaker 2: in this business morning twenty five years. I've been reviewed

111
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:49,360
Speaker 2: from Barack Obama to Terry Bradshaw Toll. What's my guy name,

112
00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:52,039
Speaker 2: Tiger Wood? So you can say whatever you've worn about

113
00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:56,000
Speaker 2: fake news. I am a member of the Black Press

114
00:05:56,120 --> 00:06:00,280
Speaker 2: n NPA, the National Newspaper Association that's been around more

115
00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:03,280
Speaker 2: than one hundred years. I'm the associate editor of the

116
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:05,560
Speaker 2: Jacksonville Free Press, one of the more than two hundred

117
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:08,920
Speaker 2: and thirty African American newspapers still printing in this country today.

118
00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:12,480
Speaker 2: In Jacksonville, you have the Florida Star since nineteen fifty five.

119
00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:15,839
Speaker 2: We've been around since nineteen eighty six. In Philadelphia, the Tribune,

120
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:21,240
Speaker 2: The Philly Tribune has been printing since eighteen eighty four. Yeah,

121
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:24,200
Speaker 2: the Michigan Chronicle has been printed since nineteen thirty five.

122
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:26,520
Speaker 2: So support the black press. So he can call me fake,

123
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:29,080
Speaker 2: Oh you want two, honey, I've been doing this. People

124
00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:29,359
Speaker 2: know me.

125
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:32,760
Speaker 1: Do you think, miss Jones? We appreciate the love and

126
00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:36,520
Speaker 1: the type of energy. Obviously, you know, journalism is supposed

127
00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:39,600
Speaker 1: to be straight down the middle. It's supposed to be objective,

128
00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:42,680
Speaker 1: and you're not supposed to show favorites. But keep in mind,

129
00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:46,599
Speaker 1: this is also a local paper, a Jacksonville paper, and

130
00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:48,599
Speaker 1: all she was doing was just showing some love. This

131
00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:51,680
Speaker 1: is the most second most wins they've had in franchise history.

132
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:53,440
Speaker 1: Did they win the Super Bowl? No? Did they make

133
00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:54,120
Speaker 1: out the first round?

134
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:54,200
Speaker 3: No?

135
00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:57,360
Speaker 1: But in a day and age where we're just filled

136
00:06:57,440 --> 00:07:01,080
Speaker 1: constantly on our feeds with so much naked negative, real

137
00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:04,800
Speaker 1: life shit, sports shit, it was refreshing to see what

138
00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:07,400
Speaker 1: Lynn had to say to first year head coach and

139
00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:08,880
Speaker 1: to the team as a whole. I think they did

140
00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:11,320
Speaker 1: a great job as well. Obviously fell short to a

141
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:14,239
Speaker 1: tough Josh Allen Buffalo Bills team, but I see nothing

142
00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:16,680
Speaker 1: wrong with what she did, and everyone who has a

143
00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:23,440
Speaker 1: problem with it fuck off. See y'all next week.
