Especially because there's no name attached 76 00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:23,679 Speaker 1: to it. If this were what I mean by that 77 00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:25,760 Speaker 1: is Kevin duranted, if this were him at a bar 78 00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:28,240 Speaker 1: and someone secretly was recording him, or if this was 79 00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:30,120 Speaker 1: a text that he sent to his homies and he 80 00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:33,080 Speaker 1: actually sent to the Rocket group chat one right, well, man, 81 00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:34,880 Speaker 1: I can't say, and he sent it to the wrong one. 82 00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:37,080 Speaker 1: Now we're talking with something. We got something to talk about, 83 00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:39,480 Speaker 1: all right? To me, I think you can spend this ass. 84 00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:43,400 Speaker 1: It's just internet stupidness, it's distractions. We don't know who 85 00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:44,880 Speaker 1: you know, this had nothing to do with us. Let's 86 00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:46,960 Speaker 1: lock it. Let's focus and not be a thing. That's 87 00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:49,160 Speaker 1: how I think you can get around it. But I'm 88 00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:51,920 Speaker 1: still not convinced, fully convinced it wasn't him, because he 89 00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:54,160 Speaker 1: participates and stuff like that, and again to act like 90 00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:56,360 Speaker 1: his nonsense when one of the most recent things he 91 00:03:57,080 --> 00:04:00,560 Speaker 1: talked about he said, got a Bernard threat count come 92 00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:03,320 Speaker 1: find me, so like he's about that life, So that 93 00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:04,400 Speaker 1: act like he's above it. 94 00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:05,760 Speaker 3: He has clearly been about it. 95 00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:07,560 Speaker 1: But I don't think this is something that's going to 96 00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:09,240 Speaker 1: rock the rockets locker room. 97 00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:13,200 Speaker 3: Okay, well, do you have a friend group, don't you? 98 00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:14,760 Speaker 3: You do have friends outside of it? 99 00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:17,760 Speaker 1: I do, Rob Parker, Rob, don't think that the way 100 00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:23,560 Speaker 1: he texts all of us, Roger. 101 00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:23,920 Speaker 3: Alex, don't shake your head. You be the main one. 102 00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:29,599 Speaker 3: So outside of the odd couple group chat, you have 103 00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:32,800 Speaker 3: a friend group. And in that friend group, you know 104 00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:36,880 Speaker 3: when someone is lying. Yeah, correct, Yeah, So the problem 105 00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:39,000 Speaker 3: I have with it. Number one, he sounds like he's lying. Ye, 106 00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:41,480 Speaker 3: That's why I say he didn't blatantly say no. Number two, 107 00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:49,240 Speaker 3: the people he's talking about, they know him, so they 108 00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:53,680 Speaker 3: may have heard something similar about someone else that he 109 00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:57,680 Speaker 3: was maybe talking trash about to them. And then they 110 00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:03,560 Speaker 3: also know how he lies. So that Houston locker room, 111 00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:06,680 Speaker 3: they know his voice by now, and they know also 112 00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:10,160 Speaker 3: when he's lying and when he's telling the truth. So 113 00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:13,120 Speaker 3: it will have an effect on those guys in the 114 00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:19,920 Speaker 3: locker room. The one thing that can destroy a team 115 00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:26,080 Speaker 3: is that level of immaturity in the locker room, no 116 00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:30,000 Speaker 3: matter how good you are. Obviously everyone's not on the 117 00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:34,760 Speaker 3: same page. But we're talking about that. This is like 118 00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:40,120 Speaker 3: a big deal. As great as Kevin Durant is and 119 00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:44,920 Speaker 3: was and has been. I'm gonna ask you this question, 120 00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:49,120 Speaker 3: have you ever considered him a leader of a team? 121 00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:49,480 Speaker 2: No? 122 00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:52,640 Speaker 1: And that's literally what I was telling Rob g earlier. 123 00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:56,120 Speaker 1: It's always been the other guys on his teams, and 124 00:05:56,839 --> 00:06:00,000 Speaker 1: to their detriment, it was supposed to be fred van Vliet. 125 00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:03,920 Speaker 1: That's their leader, aside from the coach. Is there definitely 126 00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:05,719 Speaker 1: their leader without a doubt. But it was gonna be 127 00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:07,880 Speaker 1: fred Evlee. And not that he can't obviously still around, 128 00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:10,159 Speaker 1: but I meant playing on the court there day to day, 129 00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:12,359 Speaker 1: that was supposed to be his role. KD is not 130 00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:15,560 Speaker 1: necessarily that I just want to hoop. He's just been 131 00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:18,400 Speaker 1: a leader on it. If you name the team he's 132 00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:22,320 Speaker 1: been not okay, see nope, Uh. It surely was in 133 00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:26,640 Speaker 1: Golden State, not Brooklyn, not Brooklyn. I don't know if 134 00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:30,400 Speaker 1: the pox that was just you know, Devin Booker is 135 00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:33,640 Speaker 1: the Yeah, he is the leader there, whether he you know, 136 00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:35,919 Speaker 1: he steps up and and and leads the way or 137 00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:38,320 Speaker 1: not and how he leads, but he is the face 138 00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:43,039 Speaker 1: of that franchise for KD. He's never had that, he's 139 00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:47,600 Speaker 1: never had to have to lead a team, So he's reckless. 140 00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:51,839 Speaker 1: Most guys who are leaders and they don't, they're not 141 00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:54,240 Speaker 1: reckless like that because they know how a little thing 142 00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:58,760 Speaker 1: can get misconstrued and and and and a can spark 143 00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:02,520 Speaker 1: a fire in the locker room and can sidetrack the goal, 144 00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:06,279 Speaker 1: and that's to win a championship. He's never been a leader, 145 00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:10,240 Speaker 1: so he's still reckless. He goes, he says what he wants, tweets, 146 00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:16,040 Speaker 1: he's made fun of himself having brunner accounts we all know. 147 00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:21,880 Speaker 3: And his answer to the media was flip it and 148 00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:24,800 Speaker 3: it was dismissive and no one believes it. 149 00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:27,120 Speaker 1: But that's why I don't think it will rock their 150 00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:29,000 Speaker 1: locker room because of what you just mentioned. I don't 151 00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:34,080 Speaker 1: think guys gonna like him, but I think subconsciously, hey, 152 00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:36,760 Speaker 1: we literally know he's done this before. B is something 153 00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:39,040 Speaker 1: you wouldn't put above him, right, Like certain things, somebody 154 00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:40,240 Speaker 1: came in your locker room back and the day he 155 00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:41,640 Speaker 1: was like man, he from dead, but like man, get out, 156 00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:44,320 Speaker 1: Like they would have to see the footage and this 157 00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:46,880 Speaker 1: is pre AI where they would be like, dang, he 158 00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:49,200 Speaker 1: really did that, because they would never think you would. 159 00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:51,600 Speaker 1: I don't think this is above him clearly. So I 160 00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:54,360 Speaker 1: think some part of them is like here go KDKD in. 161 00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:56,280 Speaker 1: But as long as he's getting me twenty five to 162 00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:58,800 Speaker 1: nine on fifty percent shooting, I don't think it'll be 163 00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:01,960 Speaker 1: a big deal. Last point for me from you know this, 164 00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:04,640 Speaker 1: you played, you love the games, you watch the games, 165 00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:08,160 Speaker 1: winning cures all and so far they've had a good season, yeah, 166 00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:10,200 Speaker 1: up until now, up until now, and if and if 167 00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:12,360 Speaker 1: they long as they all of a sudden, let's say 168 00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:15,120 Speaker 1: the first fifteen games out, they don't go five and ten, 169 00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:18,480 Speaker 1: and it's struggling because then and we also lose it 170 00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:21,080 Speaker 1: because of you D D d D, then stuff comes up. 171 00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:25,080 Speaker 1: But if they go first fifteen games and they're you know, uh, 172 00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:27,600 Speaker 1: ten and five, eleven and four and kind of right 173 00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:29,400 Speaker 1: about where they are now, I think they'll just be 174 00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:31,600 Speaker 1: able tola. And that's KD being KD. Whether I know 175 00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:34,960 Speaker 1: what at one hundred percent or not. They can shoot 176 00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:37,520 Speaker 1: at aside if his name, If there were receipts, I 177 00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:40,120 Speaker 1: think that this will be working. There were actual receipts. Again, 178 00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:42,640 Speaker 1: he got caught slipping talking somebody recording him. 179 00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:44,880 Speaker 3: He didn't know. Now we're talking about something, whether whether 180 00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:49,120 Speaker 3: it's receipts or not. No one actually thinks he didn't 181 00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:54,080 Speaker 3: do it. So you don't have to su proved that 182 00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:57,000 Speaker 3: you didn't do it. I know you did it. What 183 00:08:57,080 --> 00:08:58,360 Speaker 3: if you look at some of them was like, nah, 184 00:08:58,360 --> 00:08:59,679 Speaker 3: I didn't do it. You know I didn't do that. 185 00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:02,800 Speaker 3: You know I didn't do that. I'm sure he's said 186 00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:08,199 Speaker 3: something to the likes of what he called what did 187 00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:12,920 Speaker 3: you say? What did you say? Rob? It was we 188 00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:21,840 Speaker 3: can't say the term individuals right right like Jabbari. He's 189 00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:25,160 Speaker 3: probably said that to him in the locker room or 190 00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:27,760 Speaker 3: on the court. Why boy, you know you that were right? 191 00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:29,800 Speaker 3: Like so he That's what I'm saying, Like, when when 192 00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:34,240 Speaker 3: you're talking trash about people, how you really feel comes 193 00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:36,679 Speaker 3: out and just when you're talking to them, yeah, you 194 00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:40,040 Speaker 3: hear their language, you know their jokes. So if he's 195 00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:43,160 Speaker 3: actually said that in just in practice or in the 196 00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:48,400 Speaker 3: game or out to team dinner or whatever. That's just 197 00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:51,120 Speaker 3: confirmation he'd been out. Ever brought up Ussolini before. 198 00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:54,400 Speaker 1: Now they know, because ain't about nobody's walking around Mussolini. 199 00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:56,800 Speaker 3: He could have said that. He could have said that 200 00:09:56,840 --> 00:09:59,640 Speaker 3: to a teammate or somebody in the locker room when 201 00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:02,640 Speaker 3: they asked him how it was in Phoenix. He could 202 00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:08,719 Speaker 3: have made that direct, you know, uhference, Now they know, Like, man, 203 00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:10,360 Speaker 3: he said that to me once before about it, and 204 00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:13,200 Speaker 3: so now it's valid. That's what I'm saying. Like people 205 00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:15,959 Speaker 3: when people in your friend group and people who know you, 206 00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:18,880 Speaker 3: know your cadence and know things you've said before, and 207 00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:21,480 Speaker 3: then it comes out in the media. Right, if you 208 00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:24,160 Speaker 3: were sitting up here and you were telling me, right, oh, man, 209 00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:26,400 Speaker 3: I'm so glad you in here, I can't stand Rob Parker.

I believe 258 00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:33,640 Speaker 5: that drum beat is only going to get even louder 259 00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:35,559 Speaker 5: after the news we got today. Rare she Rice's ex 260 00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:39,520 Speaker 5: girlfriend has filed a civil lawsuit alleging that he repeatedly 261 00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:42,600 Speaker 5: assaulted her during an eighteen month span from twenty twenty 262 00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:45,600 Speaker 5: three to twenty twenty five, during which time she was pregnant. 263 00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:47,040 Speaker 5: For a portion of that time, he does have two 264 00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:51,000 Speaker 5: kids with him. According to the lawsuit, Rice grabbed, choked, strangled, 265 00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:55,400 Speaker 5: pushed through, scratched, hit and headbutted Missus Jones, as well 266 00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:57,199 Speaker 5: as hit her with inadimate objects. 267 00:12:57,440 --> 00:12:58,640 Speaker 3: As if this wasn't. 268 00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:02,720 Speaker 5: Bad enough, flash forward or flash backward about a year ago, 269 00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:04,360 Speaker 5: he was already in trouble with the law. You recall, 270 00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:09,040 Speaker 5: pled guilty to a felony collision involving some serious bodily injury. 271 00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:11,520 Speaker 5: He was going one hundred nineteen miles an hour. He 272 00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:14,240 Speaker 5: caused a serious crash, a lot of injuries to people, 273 00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:17,800 Speaker 5: send us thirty days in jail, five years probation. Ultimately 274 00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:21,680 Speaker 5: got suspended by the NFL, came back. We'll see what happens, 275 00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:23,280 Speaker 5: but it's not looking good for the chief wide receiver. 276 00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:25,079 Speaker 1: Well, I would add to that, Rob g Andy from 277 00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:26,600 Speaker 1: I think this is an important part too. 278 00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:29,480 Speaker 3: She didn't just the allegy. She put pictures up so 279 00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:32,800 Speaker 3: she she had the Instagram. She dropped the whole Instagram 280 00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:33,440 Speaker 3: slide to them. 281 00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:35,400 Speaker 1: So the reason I bring that up here for a 282 00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:38,160 Speaker 1: minute is because we have this thing in sports and 283 00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:40,959 Speaker 1: entertainment where and we should right, these are allegations. You 284 00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:43,120 Speaker 1: want to give everyone a the due process and innocent 285 00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:46,840 Speaker 1: until proven guilty without a doubt. But also sometimes you 286 00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:50,439 Speaker 1: can hear things and then you see things right and 287 00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:52,440 Speaker 1: you got we get the video of things, and you 288 00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:54,760 Speaker 1: can change it like, oh shoot, I did you know 289 00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:57,360 Speaker 1: I see it now we literally saw someone hitting, or 290 00:13:57,360 --> 00:13:59,400 Speaker 1: we saw this, we saw the accident, we saw the 291 00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:00,840 Speaker 1: gun being pulled out, whatever it may be. 292 00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:02,160 Speaker 3: Oftentimes that changes things. 293 00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:05,240 Speaker 1: So her dropping these pictures saying, I've tried, you know, 294 00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:08,200 Speaker 1: I'm tired of hiding, you know, trying to give him 295 00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:09,920 Speaker 1: the benefit of doubt, make him look good. I'm tired of, 296 00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:11,719 Speaker 1: you know, trying to hide this information. She just said, 297 00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:13,240 Speaker 1: I want it all out there when the truth be told. 298 00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:17,160 Speaker 1: I'm scared for myself and my children. So a couple couple, 299 00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:20,440 Speaker 1: couple of things. Number one, this is obviously I'm gonna 300 00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:22,400 Speaker 1: operate off this being allegations we don't know. 301 00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:24,560 Speaker 3: But what I will say is this is disheartening. When 302 00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:25,360 Speaker 3: it becomes a pattern. 303 00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:29,200 Speaker 1: Yes, when this isn't a one time random of thing, 304 00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:32,160 Speaker 1: he says, she say, when it becomes a pattern of 305 00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:36,120 Speaker 1: bad decisions, pattern of you know issues. Now we got something, 306 00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:38,040 Speaker 1: and again, this isn't over a fifteen year career. Okay, 307 00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:40,440 Speaker 1: two things happening. This is a short career, a couple 308 00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:43,440 Speaker 1: of years, two three years in now, and we're having issues. 309 00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:45,720 Speaker 1: So that's the first thing where I'm concerned if I'm 310 00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:49,840 Speaker 1: a part of the Chiefs franchise. Also, from the crazy 311 00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:52,320 Speaker 1: part about this is Rob g goes, well, that's why 312 00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:54,600 Speaker 1: people now really might be thinking about being in Tyreek Hilling. Well, 313 00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:57,960 Speaker 1: there's a bunch of issues there with Tyreek Hill, and 314 00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:01,800 Speaker 1: so one of the things, and I'm gonna drop say this, 315 00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:03,040 Speaker 1: and then I want you to kind of weigh in 316 00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:05,120 Speaker 1: as somebody who played so many years in the NFL, 317 00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:10,320 Speaker 1: I don't know where there's a lot of obligation and 318 00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:12,960 Speaker 1: then also responsibility. What I mean is I don't know 319 00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:15,960 Speaker 1: a part where a team is obligated and or responsible 320 00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:20,120 Speaker 1: to help the man, not just to cover it up. NFLPA, 321 00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:22,160 Speaker 1: all right, it's four games suspension. Let's get you down 322 00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:24,280 Speaker 1: to two and just kind of wipe our hands clean 323 00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:26,520 Speaker 1: and move on. At a certain point, you have to 324 00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:28,480 Speaker 1: hold yourself accountable, you have to grow up, you have 325 00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:31,640 Speaker 1: to mature. But I do wonder if in sports we 326 00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:34,400 Speaker 1: have this thing where once about you're about thirteen, fourteen, 327 00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:37,720 Speaker 1: and we've seen it. It's been documented sometimes people just 328 00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:38,720 Speaker 1: keep getting. 329 00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:40,480 Speaker 3: Away with things because they're good. 330 00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:43,000 Speaker 1: We kind of turn a blind eye to certain things 331 00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:45,360 Speaker 1: because that boy can jump, man, he's fast, boy, he 332 00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:48,160 Speaker 1: can throw and catch, he can catch in this case, 333 00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:51,720 Speaker 1: and we just kind of keep pushing past or trying 334 00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:55,280 Speaker 1: to minimize the noise around it. Let's get this under control, 335 00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:59,080 Speaker 1: or let's also minimize the damage. All right, Fine, he's 336 00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:00,760 Speaker 1: getting caught for this, but instead of six games, is 337 00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:02,800 Speaker 1: dropping the two or three? Move on back to football, 338 00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:04,880 Speaker 1: back to basketball, back to baseball, back to whatever it 339 00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:05,120 Speaker 1: may be. 340 00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:07,400 Speaker 3: And I wanted to have a certain point. 341 00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:11,960 Speaker 1: Is there developmenty developing the person, helping to evolve the 342 00:16:12,040 --> 00:16:15,280 Speaker 1: human the man, the person versus just he's good at 343 00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:18,640 Speaker 1: catching in his case football, And also what point is 344 00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:23,320 Speaker 1: there a responsibility for the organization, like, Yo, we're not 345 00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:24,600 Speaker 1: just we don't wanted to get you back out there. 346 00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:25,720 Speaker 3: We want to also help you the man. 347 00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:28,600 Speaker 1: Clearly there's probably some challenges, some things that happen in 348 00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:31,320 Speaker 1: your life. Can we help you evolve, get therapy and grow? 349 00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:33,920 Speaker 1: So that's point, But first and foremost the accountability falls 350 00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:35,440 Speaker 1: on the person. I want to make sure I'm clearing that. 351 00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:37,840 Speaker 1: Then also the last part where I want you to 352 00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:41,040 Speaker 1: jump Inny from when is enough is enough? Is there 353 00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:43,320 Speaker 1: certain things where the NFL team goes all right? I 354 00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:46,640 Speaker 1: can't continue to give you chances with that because one 355 00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:49,440 Speaker 1: thing I've seen is that the NFL is open anything 356 00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:52,880 Speaker 1: except for what Colin Kaepernick did. That was the one 357 00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:55,400 Speaker 1: thing where they said, well, that's too much. Because we've 358 00:16:55,440 --> 00:17:00,160 Speaker 1: seen guys getting coupled using drugs, selling drugs, allegedly beating 359 00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:03,680 Speaker 1: women and domestic bodas kids. We've seen it getting caught 360 00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:07,920 Speaker 1: saying N word in Riley Cooper. We've seen Dante stalwork 361 00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:11,399 Speaker 1: tragically unfortunately drunk driving than killsmen. All of that can 362 00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:13,920 Speaker 1: get you back in except with Colin Kaepernick league. So 363 00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:15,520 Speaker 1: I wonder if there's a point where the league says, 364 00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:18,359 Speaker 1: all right, that's too many things, that's too much. 365 00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:25,560 Speaker 3: We're out on you despite your talent. First off, you 366 00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:28,960 Speaker 3: have to be accountable for your own action, agreed, Whether 367 00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:33,680 Speaker 3: you're a professional football player, basketball player, doctor, lawyer, you know, 368 00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:39,199 Speaker 3: radio hosts, as an adult, you must be accountable for 369 00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:44,600 Speaker 3: your action. Right, So I'm holding him accountable. The courts 370 00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:47,679 Speaker 3: are going to hold him accountable if this is proven 371 00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:53,240 Speaker 3: to be true, shame on him. And if it is 372 00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:56,399 Speaker 3: proven to be true. I know it's a civil case 373 00:17:56,440 --> 00:18:03,720 Speaker 3: which has no criminal criminal consequences, but the NFL has 374 00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:09,359 Speaker 3: to really pay attention to this case and what's going 375 00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:10,960 Speaker 3: on in it, because they're going to have to set 376 00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:15,480 Speaker 3: a real precedent. He's already been suspended, what was he 377 00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:19,440 Speaker 3: eight games? Six games, and so the next suspension is 378 00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:26,480 Speaker 3: the season. But with that has to be therapy, has 379 00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:30,440 Speaker 3: to be anger, management has to be all of these things. Now, 380 00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:34,960 Speaker 3: it's not the team's responsibility to do that for a 381 00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:41,399 Speaker 3: grown up, but if it's in the best interest of 382 00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:48,840 Speaker 3: the team to get this person or this player in 383 00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:54,399 Speaker 3: a better headspace, not only just for them as a 384 00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:58,160 Speaker 3: competitor and as an athlete, who's going to be there 385 00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:01,440 Speaker 3: to help them, but if if they were to take 386 00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:04,719 Speaker 3: a stance, and it's just big. It's bigger than football, 387 00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:07,159 Speaker 3: it's bigger than the job. We're trying to help this 388 00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:10,400 Speaker 3: young man out in his life. That's what I'm There 389 00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:17,000 Speaker 3: is no excuse, no reason. It's absolutely appalling to physically, 390 00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:22,600 Speaker 3: you know, put a young woman through that allegedly, I 391 00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:27,119 Speaker 3: guess they're saying, or you should saying to proven otherwise. 392 00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:31,639 Speaker 3: But obviously this young man has a poor decision making. 393 00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:36,200 Speaker 3: He's already been convicted, he's already served jail time, he's 394 00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:40,560 Speaker 3: already served suspension and one of the greatest jobs on 395 00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:44,920 Speaker 3: the planet Earth. If that's not enough, if that's not enough, 396 00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:49,640 Speaker 3: then I don't know what else could happen. You need 397 00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:51,880 Speaker 3: to take away the thing that well, I don't even 398 00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:53,879 Speaker 3: know if he covets playing in the league. If he 399 00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:56,480 Speaker 3: keeps doing these types of things, yeah, it's probably more. 400 00:19:56,680 --> 00:19:59,199 Speaker 3: All I know is this versus like, I understand he 401 00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:01,600 Speaker 3: needs to go get some help. Uh and I and 402 00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:04,280 Speaker 3: I look, I get it. Everybody has grown up in 403 00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:09,600 Speaker 3: different backgrounds, different situations, a lot of behaviors learned from 404 00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:12,639 Speaker 3: when you're a child. You've learned these types of behaviors. 405 00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:15,919 Speaker 3: And you you know, you you you know what you 406 00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:16,920 Speaker 3: see and. 407 00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:19,080 Speaker 1: Not to jump in but you know. And this happened 408 00:20:19,119 --> 00:20:22,040 Speaker 1: again back in April, aggravated assault. We don't know who, 409 00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:22,960 Speaker 1: but again it woul charge. 410 00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:26,840 Speaker 3: This is football and go work on himself, hunch the 411 00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:29,600 Speaker 3: photographer in may So issues. 412 00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:32,600 Speaker 1: There are issues here. And that's why I said, is 413 00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:34,280 Speaker 1: there a certain point when you go well, dang it. 414 00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:36,119 Speaker 1: I know he's talented, dang it, we would love to 415 00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:38,439 Speaker 1: have him, but we have to help the human and 416 00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:40,480 Speaker 1: obviously you can't help anybody until they want to be helped. 417 00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:41,919 Speaker 1: So let me let me make sure I'm clear on 418 00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:43,919 Speaker 1: that that we know that comes with addiction, with anything, 419 00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:47,800 Speaker 1: until someone finally decides I need help, I want this help. 420 00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:50,879 Speaker 3: I'm going to receive this help. You can't do that. 421 00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:53,000 Speaker 1: But that's where I'm just wondering at a certain point, because 422 00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:56,160 Speaker 1: clearly there's there's a cry out for help that may 423 00:20:56,200 --> 00:20:57,840 Speaker 1: not be in a traditional sense of raising my hand 424 00:20:57,840 --> 00:21:01,960 Speaker 1: saying I need it, but clearly there's some issues. But yeah, 425 00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:03,639 Speaker 1: I just see this, and I'm like, man, you're so 426 00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:06,040 Speaker 1: you're so young to have had these issues.

I guess that's how you get her to 441 00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:51,960 Speaker 3: listen to you, right, It's it's a behavior. As kids, 442 00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:54,600 Speaker 3: we come into this world as pure as you can be. 443 00:21:54,760 --> 00:22:00,560 Speaker 3: Absolutely everything we do, from the first breath we take, 444 00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:05,800 Speaker 3: is learned, every single thing. Yeah, So. 445 00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:08,840 Speaker 2: In order to. 446 00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:17,000 Speaker 3: Stop the trauma and the legacy of trauma, we have 447 00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:21,720 Speaker 3: to better ourselves. My job as a dad and as 448 00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:29,320 Speaker 3: a parent is not to place the trauma I experienced 449 00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:33,040 Speaker 3: as a kid on my kids. That's how you break 450 00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:37,280 Speaker 3: the cycle, right, You take away the things that make 451 00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:41,760 Speaker 3: you uncomfortable. You rectify that in your children, and as 452 00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:44,920 Speaker 3: they get older, you get further and further away from 453 00:22:44,920 --> 00:22:48,280 Speaker 3: a traumatic past. You have to acknowledge it, though, because 454 00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:51,320 Speaker 3: to your kindred, how many people say grew up in 455 00:22:51,359 --> 00:22:54,000 Speaker 3: a household with alcoholics and end up becoming one grew 456 00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:56,160 Speaker 3: up in domestic violence and thoughts themselves. Man, I would 457 00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:58,000 Speaker 3: never hit my mom or my woman or this it 458 00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:01,560 Speaker 3: becomes an eight. It's a second nature thing.

I agree. 464 00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:20,880 Speaker 1: And yet everybody has their own challenges. It clearly doesn't 465 00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:23,360 Speaker 1: have to be that.

Beginning of the season. 496 00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:32,720 Speaker 1: I would imagine maybe some of the fans in the area, 497 00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:34,960 Speaker 1: people's here we go, it's not gonna be a good season. 498 00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:36,639 Speaker 1: And then y'all took off and won a bunch of 499 00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:39,960 Speaker 1: games in a row. Offense got going and obviously getting 500 00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:40,600 Speaker 1: to the postseason. 501 00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:43,120 Speaker 3: What was this season like for you and the team. 502 00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:50,080 Speaker 4: Shoes turnaround? Obviously flipped our records from four and thirteen 503 00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:53,480 Speaker 4: to thirteen or four, and you know, there was still adversity, 504 00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:56,560 Speaker 4: us and downs, but we found our rhythm and but 505 00:24:56,800 --> 00:24:59,520 Speaker 4: we're playing at a really high level and you know, 506 00:24:59,560 --> 00:25:02,520 Speaker 4: there's there's a lot to look forward to here for sure. 507 00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:04,920 Speaker 3: Eric. Let me ask you a question. You guys had 508 00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:11,000 Speaker 3: uh Travis Hunter with top pick for you guys in 509 00:25:11,119 --> 00:25:15,280 Speaker 3: the draft, he was known for a tremendous receiver a 510 00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:21,080 Speaker 3: dB for you as a defensive player. And being in 511 00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:23,840 Speaker 3: training camp with him and spending time with him, where 512 00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:27,040 Speaker 3: do you see him being the most value? Where can 513 00:25:27,080 --> 00:25:29,600 Speaker 3: you get the most value out of out of him? 514 00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:33,919 Speaker 3: In your opinion, I think I. 515 00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:35,560 Speaker 4: Think the jurors throw out on that. You know, he's 516 00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:38,320 Speaker 4: just staying an injury. But if you go back to 517 00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:41,200 Speaker 4: before he got hurt, you know he was adding a 518 00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:43,000 Speaker 4: lot to us on the offensive ho of the ball, 519 00:25:44,080 --> 00:25:45,920 Speaker 4: and then he was playing well on defense too, and 520 00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:49,000 Speaker 4: so you know, I think the jurors throw out. I 521 00:25:49,080 --> 00:25:53,080 Speaker 4: think the great thing about him is he would have 522 00:25:53,080 --> 00:25:55,560 Speaker 4: been a first round pick at receiver or dB if 523 00:25:55,600 --> 00:25:59,160 Speaker 4: you just played that position. So we definitely got something there. 524 00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:01,440 Speaker 4: Just kind of get him back on the field and 525 00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:05,439 Speaker 4: I'm healthy and you know, lett, let things run their 526 00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:09,680 Speaker 4: course in any anyway. You know he's on the field, 527 00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:10,960 Speaker 4: he's gonna be a game standard for us. 528 00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:13,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean Willis did to see what he's able 529 00:26:13,359 --> 00:26:15,159 Speaker 1: to do. I want to talk about a little bit 530 00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:17,440 Speaker 1: more at your coach Lim Cohen, what what's he like? 531 00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:20,080 Speaker 1: How does he get you guys motivated? 532 00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:22,000 Speaker 3: And obviously again what a turnaround when it comes to 533 00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:23,760 Speaker 3: four and thirteen to thirteen and four? 534 00:26:25,359 --> 00:26:29,560 Speaker 4: Man, Liam, he brought that edge, you know, first time 535 00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:32,679 Speaker 4: head coach, first time doing anything you want to leave 536 00:26:32,720 --> 00:26:36,920 Speaker 4: the lasting in pressing and he definitely did that, you know, 537 00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:39,560 Speaker 4: helping us find our edge, playing with that chip on 538 00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:43,240 Speaker 4: our shoulder and going out there and getting things turned around. 539 00:26:43,280 --> 00:26:46,320 Speaker 4: We felt like, you know, we were disrespected, and you 540 00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:48,159 Speaker 4: know in the league, if you want respect, you I 541 00:26:48,280 --> 00:26:50,640 Speaker 4: take it.
