And so thank you to all the 130 00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:09,200 Speaker 1: Jacksonal media and a lot of the national media that's 131 00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:11,400 Speaker 1: friends of mine that the kind of knew something was 132 00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:15,000 Speaker 1: going on, and we're respectful of my privacy. So I 133 00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:17,600 Speaker 1: was purposely not saying anything, not that I would never 134 00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:20,640 Speaker 1: just when you're that sick and you're not doing good, 135 00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:23,280 Speaker 1: it just wasn't the right time. And the fact that, 136 00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:26,280 Speaker 1: you know, Mike Freeman decided on his own without ever 137 00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:29,320 Speaker 1: even trying to reach out to me, um, to do 138 00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:32,920 Speaker 1: what he did. I thought, you know, last what do 139 00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:35,840 Speaker 1: you want to call it ethics or reality? I don't 140 00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:39,440 Speaker 1: know what the exact term is, but it was sure 141 00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:42,200 Speaker 1: wasn't should feel very good as you're laying in the 142 00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:45,679 Speaker 1: hospital and you're gonna learn on your phone that someone's 143 00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:50,160 Speaker 1: talking about you, uh, and especially when you were, you know, 144 00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:53,440 Speaker 1: that sick. So that was tough. UM. I mean, I like, 145 00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:56,720 Speaker 1: I couldn't even tell my friends that I was that sick, 146 00:07:56,760 --> 00:08:00,000 Speaker 1: and so a lot of them found out through him, 147 00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:02,080 Speaker 1: and uh, and I didn't like that, and I was 148 00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:05,360 Speaker 1: pretty upset, but it want him and he made a 149 00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:08,320 Speaker 1: decision to do what he did. Um. I completely disagree 150 00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:10,800 Speaker 1: with that. I think it lacks specials him. But that's 151 00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:13,240 Speaker 1: his choice and that's what he ended up doing. Has 152 00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:16,440 Speaker 1: he reached out since? No, I mean never you stopped 153 00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:19,320 Speaker 1: before to ask, you know, at least have the decency 154 00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:22,320 Speaker 1: to ask me, if you know and find out we 155 00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:25,160 Speaker 1: talk to maybe some my family, what was really going on? 156 00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:28,000 Speaker 1: You know, God forbid, what if I was dying in 157 00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:31,960 Speaker 1: there and you're out there reporting this thing. Um, I 158 00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:34,839 Speaker 1: just think it's unfair to me. It's a personal matter, 159 00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:40,680 Speaker 1: you know, and to do that without even trying to 160 00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:45,440 Speaker 1: reach out, it was really really disappointing.

Now? 165 00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:00,679 Speaker 1: How far away are you from being in the clear? 166 00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:06,560 Speaker 1: And what's your appeal to everybody listening today? Yeah? You know, 167 00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:11,600 Speaker 1: I'm I'm took a test yesterday, UM to see if 168 00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:15,400 Speaker 1: the virus is there was negative, was gone, so um. 169 00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:17,320 Speaker 1: But because I was in the hospital and taking you know, 170 00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:19,400 Speaker 1: back to that back to back test. I'll take I 171 00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:22,360 Speaker 1: took another one to day, assuming that comes back negative 172 00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:26,040 Speaker 1: as well, then I'll be clear. Um. Well, I guess 173 00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:27,800 Speaker 1: one of the silver linings in this steal for me 174 00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:31,480 Speaker 1: is I'm probably the safest you know person to be 175 00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:34,560 Speaker 1: around because I can't get it. I got all the antibodies. Um, 176 00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:36,600 Speaker 1: but I can't obviously give it to anybody because you know, 177 00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:38,600 Speaker 1: I can't get it any longer. So that's the one 178 00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:42,160 Speaker 1: positive that once I get through this, I'll be uh, 179 00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:46,400 Speaker 1: they only go out and be safe and and uh 180 00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:49,360 Speaker 1: and so that's a good thing. So um, even then, 181 00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:53,359 Speaker 1: you know, the overall messages, you know, this is real obviously, 182 00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:57,520 Speaker 1: I think sometimes, um, we all do it. I'm no different. 183 00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:01,080 Speaker 1: You hear about these things in the news or of 184 00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:03,920 Speaker 1: people that you don't know. Maybe it feel like it's 185 00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:06,839 Speaker 1: a far long way away every different place, and you 186 00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:08,520 Speaker 1: kind of question it and you're like, oh, this it's 187 00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:11,120 Speaker 1: not gonna happen to me. Or I'm young, I'm healthy. 188 00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:14,319 Speaker 1: You know, this is something that only affects somebody's old 189 00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:18,320 Speaker 1: or as other diseases, you know, a compromised immune system whatever, 190 00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:20,560 Speaker 1: and it's just it's just not true. It is real. 191 00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:25,559 Speaker 1: It can affect any of us. Um, you know, seven healthy, 192 00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:28,920 Speaker 1: I got. It took me down pretty good. But even 193 00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:31,120 Speaker 1: if I got, and I guess they're thing is, even 194 00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:34,640 Speaker 1: if it doesn't, you know, maybe you are fortunate in 195 00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:36,720 Speaker 1: the odds or in your favor because you're you know, 196 00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:39,200 Speaker 1: you're healthy and young. But you can still give it 197 00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:41,480 Speaker 1: to somebody else. And so I think it's a you know, 198 00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:44,559 Speaker 1: time right now to listen to the health care professionals 199 00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:47,040 Speaker 1: and the experts what they're telling us, because it is real. 200 00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:49,840 Speaker 1: They're not making this up, and they really think about 201 00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:53,240 Speaker 1: our community and think about each other and uh everyone 202 00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:57,600 Speaker 1: around us, Tony Baselli with us people have been distancing 203 00:10:57,640 --> 00:10:59,880 Speaker 1: for me for a long time anyway, Tony, Yeah, really 204 00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:05,400 Speaker 1: it's patur you right, that's like another another week, Um, Tony, 205 00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:07,880 Speaker 1: let's talk a little football, shall we and wrapping up 206 00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:11,280 Speaker 1: our conversation here. I don't know how much um you 207 00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:15,319 Speaker 1: were following in intensive care obviously, UM, but you know 208 00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:17,320 Speaker 1: he can has been in the news the last week 209 00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:22,400 Speaker 1: or so tweeting about the Jaguars business practices lately. Um. 210 00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:24,959 Speaker 1: The Jaguars as of the last week heard don't have 211 00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:28,160 Speaker 1: any official offers from any teams for him, and I 212 00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:30,240 Speaker 1: don't think they're planning right now. I want to send 213 00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:32,000 Speaker 1: him away. I think they wanted to be here, but 214 00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:35,200 Speaker 1: it sounds like he's willing to sit down and I 215 00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:38,240 Speaker 1: think he's had enough of the Jaguars. It feels like, well, 216 00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:41,120 Speaker 1: I mean, here's here, here's the reality. I mean, they 217 00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:43,400 Speaker 1: got him under contract because of the franchise tag. And 218 00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:46,120 Speaker 1: I've been you know, reading Twitter, you know, through Twitter 219 00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:47,920 Speaker 1: and stuff a little bit here and there, and obviously 220 00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:50,319 Speaker 1: you know he's a big deal. He's a very good 221 00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:52,000 Speaker 1: player and his guy that's done a lot of really 222 00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:54,680 Speaker 1: good things. And the Jaguars user leverage. They have it, 223 00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:57,360 Speaker 1: and Yahn's have to make a decision and I can't 224 00:11:57,400 --> 00:12:00,200 Speaker 1: imagine him not playing if it comes to, you know, 225 00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:05,120 Speaker 1: making nineteen million dollars or nothing. Um and uh, I 226 00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:06,840 Speaker 1: know he wants to be traded, but you have to 227 00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:08,960 Speaker 1: find a partner who's willing to give you what you want. 228 00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:12,000 Speaker 1: And I think the Jags are gonna sit back and 229 00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:15,679 Speaker 1: be very patient because they do have the leverage, and 230 00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:17,720 Speaker 1: I think they're probably pretty confident that he would play 231 00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:20,040 Speaker 1: if pushed came to show because you know, he wants 232 00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:23,280 Speaker 1: to make his money. Um, it's unfortunate it's come to this. 233 00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:27,200 Speaker 1: You know. It's obviously if a guy who's upset mad, 234 00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:29,200 Speaker 1: and that's what happens a lot of times form relations. 235 00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:31,920 Speaker 1: You feel like you've been cheenies are done wrong. It 236 00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:34,880 Speaker 1: gets emotional and and a lot of feelings comes up, 237 00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:37,440 Speaker 1: and a lot of bad you know, bad feelings come 238 00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:39,960 Speaker 1: up and those are hard to overcome. Um, but this 239 00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:42,320 Speaker 1: is the business side of it, and a lot of 240 00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:45,679 Speaker 1: times in these situations, no one side is not happy. 241 00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:48,080 Speaker 1: And right now, John, it's not happy. And we'll see 242 00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:50,280 Speaker 1: where it goes. But my guess is, at some point 243 00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:52,520 Speaker 1: in the next two weeks, I think the Jags will 244 00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:55,800 Speaker 1: probably get an offer that they want that makes sense 245 00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:59,680 Speaker 1: to them, and then uh, you'll probably see unique traded. 246 00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:02,800 Speaker 1: But with that said, you have to find somebody's willing 247 00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:06,840 Speaker 1: to pay you one million dollars a year, you know, 248 00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:09,280 Speaker 1: that's what it's reported he wants. There has to be 249 00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:11,640 Speaker 1: a trade partner and it's not only willing to give 250 00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:14,720 Speaker 1: you the draft pick, but it's willing to pay the 251 00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:17,480 Speaker 1: long term deal that Yawning's looking for. So I have 252 00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:20,240 Speaker 1: to find the right trade partner, I think they will. Uh. 253 00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:23,280 Speaker 1: And my guest is before the draft that Yanni equal 254 00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:26,640 Speaker 1: be on a different team, Tony. It's uh weird that 255 00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:30,040 Speaker 1: football seems so irrelevant compared to what you've been through 256 00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:33,120 Speaker 1: the last couple of weeks. But yeah, I tell you, JP, 257 00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:37,160 Speaker 1: it puts things in perspective. That's for siophoria and uh 258 00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:40,280 Speaker 1: and uh, you know, and I think when I know, 259 00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:41,960 Speaker 1: for me going through something like that to try to 260 00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:44,320 Speaker 1: find you know, what can you learn from it? You 261 00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:46,360 Speaker 1: know what what can I tell you? And I think 262 00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:49,359 Speaker 1: for me, what it's done is more than anything. It's 263 00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:52,560 Speaker 1: reminded me of you know, how many great people have 264 00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:55,800 Speaker 1: my life and great friends and I cannot I mean 265 00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:59,520 Speaker 1: I talked about the healthcare workers and they're just complete studs. 266 00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:01,080 Speaker 1: I mean, if you let that with me, your studs, 267 00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:03,000 Speaker 1: there's no other way to say it. There's no regard 268 00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:06,640 Speaker 1: for themselves and to take care of me like that's awesome. 269 00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:09,800 Speaker 1: But also I mean this, the people have my life 270 00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:14,040 Speaker 1: and my family, so many good friends to the Jaguars 271 00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:17,840 Speaker 1: organization and people at my church, and um, I can't 272 00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:20,240 Speaker 1: tell you how many people drop meals off and taking 273 00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:22,600 Speaker 1: care of my family when I would be really sick 274 00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:25,320 Speaker 1: and making sure we have everything we need from medicine 275 00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:30,040 Speaker 1: to everything else because everyone's been quarantined here. So UM, 276 00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:34,200 Speaker 1: really thankful for you know, I feel pretty blessed by God. 277 00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:36,960 Speaker 1: You know, we're a great life. But part of that 278 00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:41,000 Speaker 1: is the great friends and the great people. Um that 279 00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:44,440 Speaker 1: He's put in my life. Means that so many people 280 00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:47,080 Speaker 1: reaching out to me and still do by text and 281 00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:52,000 Speaker 1: asking what they do and bring food over and everything else. Um, 282 00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:54,680 Speaker 1: it's just been amazing. So I've got great friends and that. 283 00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:56,800 Speaker 1: So those things you look back and you're thankful for it. 284 00:14:57,520 --> 00:15:00,160 Speaker 1: And I get to work for a great organization, you know, 285 00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:02,680 Speaker 1: like the Jaguars. Also my other company that worked with 286 00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:05,200 Speaker 1: has been great of them. And so you said, you 287 00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:07,800 Speaker 1: feel pretty blessed to have that many people care about you, 288 00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:10,360 Speaker 1: and I really kind of take care of you at 289 00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:14,240 Speaker 1: a time like this.
