Um, talk a little bit about 0:01:54.960 --> 0:01:58.760 did canceling yesterday's game have an impact at all on 0:01:58.800 --> 0:02:03.120 this team?

I'll be a pillance. 0:02:25.600 --> 0:02:29.840 All the overnight truck drive, all the late night party 0:02:29.960 --> 0:02:32.320 is coming in. Man. Broad Us warned me if you 0:02:32.320 --> 0:02:34.880 ever do a night show, it's a different show. You 0:02:34.960 --> 0:02:39.400 get all the NASCAR and truck drive. Yeah. Yeah, West 0:02:39.440 --> 0:02:42.079 of the Rockies you're on the air, go out of 0:02:42.160 --> 0:02:46.079 true geeksters who really load their computers. Yeah. Yeah, Well, 0:02:46.120 --> 0:02:48.720 let's talk about Zeka a little bit. Our good buddy 0:02:48.760 --> 0:02:52.000 Clarence Hill wrote a story last night, and I'm gonna 0:02:52.040 --> 0:02:55.560 kind of paraphrase some of the points that he made 0:02:55.560 --> 0:02:57.440 in his story, because there's been a little bit more 0:02:57.440 --> 0:03:00.240 of a development since his story, and we'll let Kurt 0:03:00.320 --> 0:03:03.360 kind of get into that. But after more than twenty 0:03:03.360 --> 0:03:07.840 five hours of discussion, including Zeke testifying in his own defense, 0:03:09.160 --> 0:03:13.959 his appeal process finally ended yesterday afternoon. Harold Henderson was 0:03:14.000 --> 0:03:17.640 the arbitrator that now has a decision on whether to 0:03:17.760 --> 0:03:21.400 uphold the uphold the suspension, reduce it, or vacate the 0:03:21.440 --> 0:03:25.840 suspension handed down by the NFL. Something that came out 0:03:26.360 --> 0:03:28.880 last night, and Clarence was the first one that I 0:03:28.919 --> 0:03:31.160 saw reporting this, so that's why I pulled his story. 0:03:32.040 --> 0:03:35.080 Kia Roberts, which is the director of investigations for the NFL, 0:03:35.480 --> 0:03:39.280 recommended no suspension for Zeke following her interviews with Thompson 0:03:39.560 --> 0:03:44.280 during the investigation. Thompson being Ezekiel Elliott's ex girlfriend, correct 0:03:44.280 --> 0:03:50.400 Tiffany Thompson, so Robert's recommendation of no discipline is the 0:03:50.440 --> 0:03:53.760 main reason Jerry Jones expressed so much confidence in the 0:03:53.760 --> 0:03:57.960 case until the NFL announced the suspension on August eleventh. Jones, 0:03:58.000 --> 0:04:00.840 and this is Clarence's story. Jones was told by a 0:04:00.880 --> 0:04:03.760 top NFL executive that there would be no suspension. According 0:04:03.800 --> 0:04:07.320 to a source, Robert's recommendation never made it into the 0:04:07.440 --> 0:04:11.280 NFL's final report or the official suspension letter on August eleven, 0:04:11.320 --> 0:04:14.960 which cited the league's findings of three instances of domestic 0:04:15.040 --> 0:04:18.800 violence by Elliott against Thompson based on the victims, testimony 0:04:18.839 --> 0:04:23.880 and photographic evidence. The meeting to discuss the discipline for 0:04:23.920 --> 0:04:28.479 Elliott included Lisa Freel, the senior vice president of Investigations, 0:04:28.560 --> 0:04:33.760 Jeff Pash, Executive vice president and General Council, and Adolpho Burch, 0:04:33.880 --> 0:04:38.320 Senior Vice president of Labor Policy and Government Affairs, among others. 0:04:39.320 --> 0:04:43.480 Freel barred Roberts from the meeting. A source said. ESPN's 0:04:43.480 --> 0:04:47.880 Adam Schefter reported Thursday that Henderson is being pressured into 0:04:47.960 --> 0:04:51.320 making a decision by Monday and that a reduction is likely. 0:04:51.839 --> 0:04:56.520 So let's paraphrase even further. Hey, here, the lead investigator, 0:04:57.760 --> 0:05:01.839 who Nate take your hands off your the lead investigator 0:05:01.880 --> 0:05:06.440 who maybe made a recommendation that nothing be done to 0:05:06.560 --> 0:05:11.480 Ezekiel Elliott was barred from testifying, which was the only 0:05:11.520 --> 0:05:16.440 one that actually interviewed the person that this case is 0:05:16.480 --> 0:05:20.159 actually a case, Tiffany Thompson. She's the only one that 0:05:20.400 --> 0:05:28.360 spoke to Tiffany Thompson and made that recommendation, according to reports. Okay, continue, well, 0:05:28.520 --> 0:05:31.680 they have a if a decisions not made by Tuesday, 0:05:31.760 --> 0:05:34.279 Elliott could be on the field for the September tenth 0:05:34.279 --> 0:05:37.320 season opener against the New York Giants. As long as 0:05:37.360 --> 0:05:40.440 Eliot is under appeal, he is eligible to play. And 0:05:40.480 --> 0:05:43.480 that's the assumption that the Cowboys are operating on, according 0:05:43.480 --> 0:05:47.119 to a source, So Kurt, from the time Clarence wrote 0:05:47.120 --> 0:05:51.320 this last night to today, there's been some news. What's 0:05:51.400 --> 0:05:54.400 what's happened? Wow, it looks like that appeal is going 0:05:54.440 --> 0:05:57.960 to be last a lot longer. I guess they've already 0:05:57.960 --> 0:06:00.720 a filed a restraining temporary restraining order in the case. 0:06:00.920 --> 0:06:04.360 They did that today in Plano, which is suburb next 0:06:04.400 --> 0:06:08.680 year to Frisco. And it's all based on the procedural 0:06:09.680 --> 0:06:11.840 screw ups that the NFL wants to do. It once 0:06:11.839 --> 0:06:15.920 again did with that lead investigator and how that was 0:06:16.000 --> 0:06:21.000 handled with freel and apparently you know what was said 0:06:21.000 --> 0:06:24.080 and how they handled it. It's opened the door for 0:06:24.120 --> 0:06:26.000 them too. It looks like it's got a pretty strong 0:06:26.040 --> 0:06:28.760 case to take this to court now. And as long 0:06:28.800 --> 0:06:30.840 as it's tied up in court, he'll be on the field. 0:06:31.640 --> 0:06:34.280 What the hell is going on with this case? Man? 0:06:34.720 --> 0:06:41.280 You take a year, You take a year. You got 0:06:41.279 --> 0:06:45.440 a person that you trust to investigate. This person does 0:06:45.480 --> 0:06:49.080 what you act. They give you your recommendation, but it's 0:06:49.120 --> 0:06:54.640 not what you want to hear. It's almost like if 0:06:54.640 --> 0:06:58.000 that's the recommendation that it's almost like they considered everything 0:06:58.040 --> 0:07:00.560 else that's gone on. I think since then, that's what 0:07:00.560 --> 0:07:03.240 I totally. You know, they they said they said in 0:07:03.279 --> 0:07:07.800 the initial report that leaked or the letter to Ezekiel 0:07:07.800 --> 0:07:10.960 Elliott that you know, the Saint Patrick's Day thing is 0:07:11.000 --> 0:07:15.320 not being considered here, but that was bad too. And 0:07:15.360 --> 0:07:19.000 the thing at the bar here in Dallas Camp that 0:07:19.160 --> 0:07:21.520 they you know, they didn't even mention that in the report, 0:07:21.600 --> 0:07:25.000 but it also came out it happened two weeks before 0:07:25.040 --> 0:07:29.480 the suspension. So um, and there's there is a laundry 0:07:29.480 --> 0:07:32.600 list of stuff that he's gotten himself into, a varying 0:07:32.680 --> 0:07:36.440 degrees of of whether or not it's a deal um 0:07:37.240 --> 0:07:42.920 pot shop stuff like that. But he's being suspended for 0:07:43.000 --> 0:07:47.840 domestic violence, which is a much more serious allegation than 0:07:47.920 --> 0:07:52.000 any of the other stuff. It is very, very serious, 0:07:52.120 --> 0:07:57.960 and I understand that. But I said this now I'll 0:07:57.960 --> 0:08:02.120 say it again. If it was, if it was for 0:08:02.400 --> 0:08:05.760 the violence against the young lady, of alleged violence, then 0:08:05.840 --> 0:08:07.640 why was all the rest of the stuff in the letter? 0:08:08.240 --> 0:08:10.040 Why why did that even make it right? Why I 0:08:10.040 --> 0:08:13.040 even mention it? Why even mentioned it? Because they knew 0:08:13.680 --> 0:08:16.840 for what we know now that that would not hold 0:08:16.920 --> 0:08:18.680 up if they would have, if they would have followed 0:08:18.680 --> 0:08:22.200 this young lady's lead. Maybe that now come back with 0:08:22.280 --> 0:08:25.160 something at this point that seems more realistic. Now we 0:08:25.200 --> 0:08:27.600 don't know what happened between Zeke and that young lady, 0:08:27.680 --> 0:08:30.760 but the more more, would you feel better if they said, 0:08:30.800 --> 0:08:34.760 hey man, you got two games because you just did 0:08:35.120 --> 0:08:39.520 the the uh, the the young lady deal, the pot 0:08:40.000 --> 0:08:42.240 this that when you feel a little bit of hey man, 0:08:42.280 --> 0:08:44.560 you heard an image of the league, When you feel 0:08:44.600 --> 0:08:47.200 a little bit better if you would have just did 0:08:47.200 --> 0:08:50.360 it like that instead of saying, hey, you know now, 0:08:51.520 --> 0:08:54.400 and this is the funny thing. I would not try 0:08:54.440 --> 0:08:57.959 to speculate what happens between that young lady and him. 0:08:58.000 --> 0:09:02.080 But now she's gonna put herself out there in a 0:09:02.240 --> 0:09:06.920 whole different light. She may not look as victimized now 0:09:07.400 --> 0:09:13.000 as she now as she was then. Don't don't don't 0:09:13.080 --> 0:09:16.280 do this. And I'm I'm talking to the NFL, I'm 0:09:16.280 --> 0:09:20.760 talking to the players Association. Don't do this the wrong 0:09:20.880 --> 0:09:26.040 way again. You've dropped the ball more time. If it's 0:09:26.120 --> 0:09:29.320 five cases, you've dropped the ball four times. He got 0:09:29.320 --> 0:09:33.640 to stop fellas, you've dropped the ball. Yep. And it's 0:09:34.160 --> 0:09:36.080 and this in the person that they didn't allow in 0:09:36.080 --> 0:09:38.719 the in the meeting. It's not like some slap like 0:09:38.840 --> 0:09:42.480 us or some security guard. It's the director grading yourself. 0:09:42.520 --> 0:09:46.760 You're not talking to the other three guys slap like me. 0:09:48.080 --> 0:09:51.120 It's the director of investigations for the NFL. And you 0:09:51.240 --> 0:09:54.400 just totally disregard her record. This is what she gets 0:09:54.440 --> 0:09:56.679 paid to do. Why do you have people working for 0:09:56.720 --> 0:09:59.320 you if you're not gonna take their advice and they 0:09:59.400 --> 0:10:03.959 recommend this whole thing, especially when it's company, I'm sure 0:10:04.000 --> 0:10:06.839 it happens that you're but but especially when it's that 0:10:08.840 --> 0:10:12.640 and I if this was a grunt player, which we 0:10:12.679 --> 0:10:14.760 wouldn't even be discussing it, it it wouldn't even be on 0:10:14.760 --> 0:10:19.439 the radar. But you, when a hearty deal went down, 0:10:19.840 --> 0:10:23.400 you went out and hire this same person that you're 0:10:23.440 --> 0:10:29.199 now disregarding because she at that point was all for 0:10:29.720 --> 0:10:34.880 Now she's trying to be you know, I hate saying 0:10:34.880 --> 0:10:37.480 because I don't have any information or true information. I'm 0:10:37.520 --> 0:10:40.600 just kind of going on fro emotions. But now she 0:10:40.720 --> 0:10:45.040 says one thing and you ignore her. This is the 0:10:45.080 --> 0:10:48.200 same lady now, I don't. I don't. What I don't 0:10:48.200 --> 0:10:52.480 The part I don't get is, Okay, they're smart people 0:10:53.000 --> 0:10:55.319 in the office in New York that run this league, right, 0:10:56.880 --> 0:11:00.000 how can you think that this was not gonna come out? 0:11:00.160 --> 0:11:03.560 How can you think, especially with it being Jerry Jones 0:11:03.559 --> 0:11:06.800 and the Dallas Cowboys, Jerry's gonna find out what happens 0:11:06.840 --> 0:11:10.000 behind those doors. He's gonna find out why this is 0:11:10.040 --> 0:11:13.440 going on. How at the league level could you think 0:11:13.559 --> 0:11:15.319 that you could hide this. I don't. That's the part 0:11:15.360 --> 0:11:18.720 I don't understand is is, well, I think they believe 0:11:18.760 --> 0:11:21.880 they're operating on somewhat different set of rules. And I 0:11:21.920 --> 0:11:25.960 think obviously one of the I guess arguments for the 0:11:26.040 --> 0:11:30.880 investigators saying she said there was no credible evidence to 0:11:30.880 --> 0:11:34.760 suspend him. She has a legal background, and one thing 0:11:34.800 --> 0:11:36.800 I heard is she may be looking at this from 0:11:36.800 --> 0:11:39.880 a legal background. That's why Columbus police didn't arrest him 0:11:40.559 --> 0:11:45.839 or charge him, supposedly was because there wasn't enough credible evidence. Yeah, though, 0:11:46.240 --> 0:11:49.280 so she could be saying the same thing from a 0:11:49.360 --> 0:11:51.960 legal standpoint. And the League is like, but we are 0:11:52.000 --> 0:11:54.240 above you know, we have a different set of rules here. 0:11:54.280 --> 0:11:57.240 We have a you know, we don't we don't look 0:11:57.280 --> 0:11:59.320 at the legal part of we just look we just 0:11:59.400 --> 0:12:01.560 look at our you know, it's detrimental to the image 0:12:01.559 --> 0:12:04.240 of the league or whatever. And so they're trying to 0:12:04.280 --> 0:12:06.440 sneak this through. And that's that's the argument now for 0:12:06.480 --> 0:12:08.640 the union is that you have you know, you can't 0:12:08.679 --> 0:12:10.800 do it that way. You have to follow them. Okay, well, 0:12:10.920 --> 0:12:15.360 let's let's walk through this. We know for fact, between 0:12:15.440 --> 0:12:18.440 him and the young lady that that he pulled that 0:12:18.520 --> 0:12:23.000 down rights right Saint Patrick's day. We know that he 0:12:23.120 --> 0:12:33.720 walked into a pot deal. We know what else. There 0:12:33.760 --> 0:12:37.480 are things in this case that are are known that 0:12:37.880 --> 0:12:39.920 I mean, like they said, there's just not enough credible 0:12:39.920 --> 0:12:42.800 out of defendence to go to court. But there was, 0:12:42.880 --> 0:12:45.560 I mean, something happened, and I think that's with enough 0:12:45.679 --> 0:12:50.640 credible evidence right in Okay, if if if this is 0:12:50.760 --> 0:12:54.559 criminal court, then the the things that she said that 0:12:54.720 --> 0:12:57.760 were proven not to be true or stretching the truth 0:12:58.280 --> 0:13:01.160 that sort of mitigates everything else that she said that 0:13:01.280 --> 0:13:03.760 might have been true. Now the League is trying to 0:13:03.920 --> 0:13:06.880 parse out what was true and if is there enough 0:13:07.000 --> 0:13:11.079 that was true that constitutes domestic violence? They decided it was. 0:13:11.160 --> 0:13:14.839 I I don't think that the League is trying to 0:13:14.960 --> 0:13:17.640 screw him over just just for the hell of it. 0:13:17.760 --> 0:13:20.199 I would assume that they think that they're doing the 0:13:20.360 --> 0:13:23.200 right thing here. But say town Brady, I understand, yeah, 0:13:23.240 --> 0:13:28.800 they just when you put yourself in this capacity to 0:13:28.960 --> 0:13:32.840 be extra judicial, there's going to be so many things 0:13:33.000 --> 0:13:34.959 like this that come up, not just this case, but 0:13:35.360 --> 0:13:37.280 in the years to come. If they want to stick 0:13:37.320 --> 0:13:42.679 to this that that there's there's just that are problematic. 0:13:42.960 --> 0:13:44.800 But you know what, you know what you know what 0:13:45.000 --> 0:13:50.400 not what you just did sounds great. If they would 0:13:50.400 --> 0:13:54.600 have included they investigated the only person that interviewed him. 0:13:54.800 --> 0:13:57.720 If they would have included her recommendation, I'll go along 0:13:57.800 --> 0:14:00.640 what she said. You know, the biggest problem I have 0:14:00.760 --> 0:14:05.040 with this whole this whole thing, is this is setting 0:14:05.080 --> 0:14:10.240 the precedent guilty until you prove your self innocent, which 0:14:10.320 --> 0:14:13.240 is not what this country's system is based off of. 0:14:13.600 --> 0:14:17.720 So now this opens the door for anybody, male or female, 0:14:17.800 --> 0:14:21.120 to accuse a high profile athlete in the NFL because 0:14:21.160 --> 0:14:23.800 this happened in the NFL, this happened to me. This 0:14:23.960 --> 0:14:26.120 is the person that did it, and you can ruin 0:14:26.160 --> 0:14:29.400 their career. There's no evidence here other than he said 0:14:29.440 --> 0:14:32.000 she said. One says that this didn't happen. One says 0:14:32.040 --> 0:14:35.280 it did. And now you're you're talking about livelihood, you're 0:14:35.320 --> 0:14:40.440 talking about you know, your reputation, you're talking about all 0:14:40.520 --> 0:14:42.720 this stuff, and this opens the door for anybody to 0:14:42.800 --> 0:14:46.800 blame anyone. And then now the you know, the responsibility 0:14:46.840 --> 0:14:49.280 lies with you to prove that you didn't do what 0:14:49.400 --> 0:14:51.560 this person said. I don't. That's that's a that's a 0:14:51.760 --> 0:14:56.040 bad road to go down. How about how about I'm 0:14:56.120 --> 0:15:01.560 mister Henderson and you walking in with Alfa David that 0:15:02.280 --> 0:15:06.480 didn't get presented evidently didn't get presented because y'all didn't 0:15:06.480 --> 0:15:11.480 want it. So now not only do we have Afford David, 0:15:11.640 --> 0:15:14.360 but we got one of your people that you hired 0:15:14.640 --> 0:15:18.600 to put in this privileged position to help advise you, 0:15:19.800 --> 0:15:23.600 and you ignore both of them. I want to see 0:15:23.640 --> 0:15:28.840 the righteousness of making a decision when you hire the people. 0:15:29.440 --> 0:15:32.600 You're the top guy in charge, our guys, our girls 0:15:33.040 --> 0:15:35.600 in charge. But the one person that don't go along 0:15:35.640 --> 0:15:41.080 with your program, that only person. I'll keep repeating this. 0:15:42.120 --> 0:15:45.040 If Josh is the only person that has interviewed me, 0:15:47.960 --> 0:15:52.880 my opponent, all y'all going by is what he say, 0:15:53.000 --> 0:15:55.680 and if he say, well, hey, I'm like a Knack's opponent, 0:15:55.760 --> 0:15:58.920 I don't like Nate, and y'all two looking at me like, well, 0:15:59.200 --> 0:16:02.160 you know, forget, we're just gonna go with Nate, but 0:16:02.320 --> 0:16:04.080 you don't know what happened. You wan't there in an 0:16:04.160 --> 0:16:09.600 investigation that don't make no sense. It's an odd position 0:16:09.720 --> 0:16:12.200 that we find ourselves with because I think that there 0:16:12.360 --> 0:16:15.040 is an argument to be made against the process that 0:16:15.320 --> 0:16:18.240 led the NFL to this point. But I still can't 0:16:18.760 --> 0:16:20.560 I can't go all the way out on that limb 0:16:20.640 --> 0:16:24.840 because I believe that if he did it, he deserves 0:16:24.880 --> 0:16:29.440 the suspension. Okay, but proved he did it, well, I'll 0:16:29.480 --> 0:16:32.880 see that. I think most people think something happened. I mean, 0:16:32.960 --> 0:16:39.560 she's she's the Columbus police have said they felt something happened, 0:16:39.720 --> 0:16:42.320 but there wasn't enough evidence to go to court. And 0:16:42.640 --> 0:16:45.800 that's the thing here, that court versus the league set 0:16:45.840 --> 0:16:48.560 of rules and where the court couldn't come in and 0:16:49.360 --> 0:16:54.360 we'll sit down, couldn't do it. Dotes sin with the parties. 0:16:54.400 --> 0:16:56.840 Not the young lady. Not the young lady because she's 0:16:56.880 --> 0:16:59.760 been through enough. But sand I was Zeke in his 0:17:00.040 --> 0:17:03.600 representatives sit down with the Dallas Cowboys and their representatives 0:17:03.880 --> 0:17:08.120 as a league owner and commissioner with mister Henderson and say, 0:17:08.200 --> 0:17:12.359 you know what, let's work this out. Let's and that 0:17:12.520 --> 0:17:15.960 can be done. So you know that is the most 0:17:16.040 --> 0:17:22.040 simple and most effective way when you're trying to Now, 0:17:22.840 --> 0:17:24.760 if this thing holds up and he get ugly and 0:17:24.800 --> 0:17:26.760 it all goes to court and all this right here, 0:17:27.680 --> 0:17:31.280 you know, Zeke is fighting for his life too, because 0:17:31.760 --> 0:17:34.960 if this thing's gold go down against him, he has 0:17:35.040 --> 0:17:38.120 no more rope. He's hung right, And I heard somewhere. 0:17:38.200 --> 0:17:40.480 I don't remember who I heard this from. But if 0:17:40.560 --> 0:17:43.760 he is suspended, he loses his guaranteed money, I believe 0:17:43.920 --> 0:17:46.000 is what I heard. You know, you know what I 0:17:46.200 --> 0:17:49.760 hear your brother, young man? But right about now that 0:17:50.440 --> 0:17:53.639 that ain't that? That ain't it? What? What's it is? 0:17:55.600 --> 0:18:01.280 Can the league for once really way all of the options? 0:18:01.680 --> 0:18:05.080 If they were to weigh all the options? What what 0:18:05.280 --> 0:18:07.119 do you? What more do you have to say? Not 0:18:07.359 --> 0:18:10.840 not the options that you wanted to be, but the 0:18:10.920 --> 0:18:13.720 options that were there. Number one, the option was that 0:18:13.840 --> 0:18:18.040 young lady who investigated the deal with the young lady. 0:18:18.280 --> 0:18:21.080 Then you you go another step further to stack the 0:18:21.160 --> 0:18:24.120 cars against this young man. Hey, you cannot use her 0:18:24.640 --> 0:18:28.280 or her testimony against her? Okay, well, Zeke say fine, 0:18:29.000 --> 0:18:34.200 here's it. Luckily mister Hill and several others kept digging, 0:18:34.320 --> 0:18:38.040 kept digging. Who leaked it? I kind of know who 0:18:38.160 --> 0:18:40.800 probably leaked it? But guess what now they find this 0:18:41.000 --> 0:18:46.399 this disreport here. I'm not saying. I'm saying normally when 0:18:46.480 --> 0:18:48.119 y'all talking about this, I don't say a word. But 0:18:48.200 --> 0:18:51.000 when you're wrong, when you're wrong, when you didn't do 0:18:51.080 --> 0:18:53.920 it right, the process that you put in place and 0:18:54.080 --> 0:18:57.639 you didn't follow your process, You're wrong. I wouldn't be 0:18:57.720 --> 0:19:00.440 surprised at all. In fact, I would expect it will have, 0:19:01.640 --> 0:19:04.960 you know, another development in this situation before we're back 0:19:05.840 --> 0:19:10.240 for the next show Tuesday. But I'm I'm I'm game 0:19:10.480 --> 0:19:14.920 open for prediction on what happens. Does he serve the 0:19:15.000 --> 0:19:17.640 full six games? Does he play against the Giants? Where 0:19:17.800 --> 0:19:21.600 where do we stand as of September tenth. I think 0:19:21.640 --> 0:19:23.639 he definitely is going to be playing. I mean, just 0:19:24.200 --> 0:19:26.880 this restraining order they just filed alone, I think it's 0:19:26.880 --> 0:19:31.320 gonna back that up even more. Now. Worst case scenario is, 0:19:31.560 --> 0:19:35.600 you know, December something he gets suspended. But for now, 0:19:35.680 --> 0:19:38.159 I think it's he's gonna be on the field. What 0:19:38.240 --> 0:19:41.520 do you think, Nate, get it right? What do you 0:19:41.600 --> 0:19:46.920 think it's gonna happen? You know what, brother is this 0:19:47.080 --> 0:19:49.760 goes a little deep with me. Get it right. Because 0:19:49.800 --> 0:19:53.080 you got a young lady that has an issue, uh 0:19:53.280 --> 0:19:58.879 she's been uh tampered with. You got Zeke who's got 0:19:58.960 --> 0:20:03.080 the issue he's been Timford with. Now you got thirdly, 0:20:03.280 --> 0:20:06.960 you got the Dallas Cowboys and mister Jones. They don't 0:20:07.040 --> 0:20:09.639 know what's going on. And now only two people know 0:20:09.680 --> 0:20:14.600 what's going on, is the commissioner and mister Henderson. Get 0:20:14.640 --> 0:20:16.639 it right. Whether he played or not, don't make a 0:20:16.680 --> 0:20:20.760 difference to me, but get it right. That's that's the 0:20:20.840 --> 0:20:25.399 main issue. Got a prediction, Channing. I'm with Kurt. I 0:20:25.520 --> 0:20:27.760 think he plays. The interesting thing to me is going 0:20:27.800 --> 0:20:30.480 to see how now that this is out, how the 0:20:30.640 --> 0:20:34.440 league is going to handle that. It's it's six games now. 0:20:35.840 --> 0:20:39.160 To me, this you know, does it throw the whole 0:20:39.200 --> 0:20:41.760 suspension out? And if it does, then you know, the 0:20:41.880 --> 0:20:44.760 League's like, Okay, we screwed this up from the very beginning. 0:20:44.840 --> 0:20:47.240 That's that's not a good look the league. I just 0:20:47.320 --> 0:20:49.920 can't imagine the league is going to admit no the 0:20:50.280 --> 0:20:54.840 fault or probably just so we give it six months 0:20:54.880 --> 0:20:57.119 to a year, and the league investigator gonna be fired, 0:20:57.240 --> 0:21:00.240 replaced hired by somebody else that's gonna just all in 0:21:00.320 --> 0:21:02.160 line to what they want to do, and then we're 0:21:02.160 --> 0:21:04.919 gonna have the same old union that don't back up 0:21:04.960 --> 0:21:10.960 as players. It's gonna be like Russia. Um, I think 0:21:11.000 --> 0:21:15.399 I'm with you guys that that he plays Sunday against 0:21:15.440 --> 0:21:19.840 the Giants and and this hangs over the season. It's 0:21:19.960 --> 0:21:22.239 it sounds like at some point this suspension is going 0:21:22.280 --> 0:21:24.399 to get reduced, maybe not by the league, but just 0:21:24.560 --> 0:21:28.240 by labor cord or whatever arbitrator this ends up with. 0:21:28.400 --> 0:21:31.560 And maybe it happens to start next season. But if 0:21:31.600 --> 0:21:33.320 you got it hanging over your head all year, you 0:21:33.600 --> 0:21:35.640 just got to be so afraid that it comes down 0:21:35.680 --> 0:21:40.520 in December, right, And you know, I mean I feel 0:21:40.760 --> 0:21:44.040 bad for the player. You know this. He's got to 0:21:44.160 --> 0:21:46.920 deal with this for a year. Yeah, you know he's 0:21:46.920 --> 0:21:50.000 been dealing with it, right, He's been dealing with it. See, 0:21:50.440 --> 0:21:55.240 the thing is, when you've had over a year to investigate, 0:21:56.640 --> 0:22:01.200 to to to come to a conclusion, and you waited, 0:22:01.359 --> 0:22:05.280 and you waited, and you waited for whatever reason, you 0:22:05.440 --> 0:22:09.800 had information, you prepared your letter, so it dropped several 0:22:09.880 --> 0:22:13.440 minutes out there. You gave a suspension, but you convenuely 0:22:13.480 --> 0:22:18.320 forgot an intricate part. How do you hire an investigate 0:22:18.359 --> 0:22:24.720 her and ignore what he is She has said one 0:22:24.760 --> 0:22:28.359 way or the other. He did put himself in the 0:22:28.440 --> 0:22:33.920 situation if if the girl was unstable, then he carried 0:22:33.960 --> 0:22:39.520 on a relationship with an unstable girl when he put 0:22:39.600 --> 0:22:41.520 that on him. But you know what she and I 0:22:41.520 --> 0:22:45.200 ain't saying she unstable. I'm saying I ain't saying nothing 0:22:45.840 --> 0:22:49.560 has not happened to her. But what but what is 0:22:49.640 --> 0:22:53.640 transpiring now? It's going to be uglier for her and him. 0:22:55.720 --> 0:22:57.879 You know, you don't you know when we when this 0:22:57.960 --> 0:23:00.320 is broken, we was doing the show and doing it 0:23:00.359 --> 0:23:04.040 with the other guys. I'm saying, I get tired of 0:23:04.760 --> 0:23:07.639 all of a sudden this that happens you makes you suspension. 0:23:08.040 --> 0:23:11.800 Now now all of the pertinent information started leaking out. 0:23:12.440 --> 0:23:16.440 I told Mick, I told Nick, and I told another gentleman, Rob, 0:23:16.640 --> 0:23:19.000 the same thing. I said that watch when this comes 0:23:19.040 --> 0:23:21.800 out and the fight start. All the pertinent information that 0:23:21.880 --> 0:23:25.040 we should have known gonna show up now. We shouldn't 0:23:25.040 --> 0:23:27.119 have known this. Brother. Well, I'm not real happy that 0:23:27.200 --> 0:23:29.760 you're cheating on us, Nate with those other guys. I'm 0:23:29.800 --> 0:23:31.720 not either. Man. I asked for you guys, man, but 0:23:31.840 --> 0:23:34.119 they said man, since Josh and in Time was at 0:23:34.200 --> 0:23:37.120 camp be, you know, they couldn't have our show. All right, Well, 0:23:37.119 --> 0:23:39.200 it's definitely gonna be something to watch over the weekend 0:23:39.240 --> 0:23:41.720 and early part of next week. See where this thing goes. 0:23:42.200 --> 0:23:46.240 Tell you what they want. The arbitrator Henderson they're asking 0:23:46.400 --> 0:23:48.440 to be have a decision by Monday or two Monday 0:23:48.480 --> 0:23:51.680 or Tuesday. Yeah, so there would be a busy, busy 0:23:51.720 --> 0:23:54.480 weekend for that guy in that office. So that's where 0:23:54.520 --> 0:23:56.720 you get paid for. You don't work about all.
