0:46
for
0:47
three who one
0:51
john watson news
0:54
is fairly shocking today i
0:57
think most people listening to this would
0:59
say to themselves that's and
1:01
under punishment
1:03
the even not knowing much of anything
1:05
else right there aren't a whole lot of to sean
1:07
watson supporters
1:09
oh yeah they are know there's plenty
1:12
in in they'd of ohio
1:14
or there's a bunch
1:16
in parts of south carolina there
1:18
are a bunch he has a very passionate
1:20
as any person that
1:22
goes through scandal like
1:25
their defenders just fortify
1:27
themselves and these believes they're all for
1:29
defensive there in the wrong but they don't want
1:31
to admit it's their their stubborn
1:33
they're holding on to things they they hold
1:35
the earth now biggest sports tribalism
1:38
you have people that has to be all when
1:40
and defend his own wants and even
1:42
if they find it problematic so
1:44
i finds browns twitter certainly
1:47
changed over the last few months in staunch
1:49
defensive this guy and
1:52
they win now you indoor the
1:54
hurricane of blowback you
1:56
endured my groin
1:59
quitting
1:59
fandom of your football team because some
2:02
of it was so dirty and disgusting you
2:04
have have
2:07
private parts dry humping
2:09
women the details as expressed
2:11
by these women's of like throwing
2:13
his semen at them or
2:16
galling and feel like crimes
2:19
and the penalty
2:20
is that the sean watch and wins the cleveland
2:23
browns when they endured
2:25
whatever had to be endured and in negotiations
2:28
and guaranteeing him the money they
2:30
now get ten years of dish on watson they
2:33
now more
2:35
they ran off baker mayfield the odell
2:37
beckham saying the season of expectations
2:40
all of that was run off the bridge
2:42
to that now gets you to discern watson
2:44
and very soon people will be talking about what
2:47
is the impact of not playing that
2:49
position where they might have a high rate
2:52
of speed for two years very soon
2:54
the conversation will turn to him as a playoffs
2:56
and in six games this might
2:58
not be forgotten but the cleveland browns
3:01
will when they have a franchise quarterback
3:03
the big winner today is not football
3:05
it's certainly not women's it's not roger
3:08
goodell it is dish on watson
3:10
and the cleveland browns they win today with
3:12
his penalty the has one division game and at the
3:14
other
3:16
the keep her being they they winter day
3:18
if you look at that franchise's
3:20
history and if you look at the sean watson's personal
3:23
history
3:24
you can't rule out like you think this is done
3:28
i personally don't i think a
3:30
lot of people were spinning this as when
3:33
me
3:34
the independent orbiter told you we did
3:36
some of that shit you got punished
3:39
for doing the problems that
3:41
you had with the shown watson entering
3:44
this
3:46
or not dawn
3:47
they've been confirmed by an independent arbiter
3:49
and yet it's framed as a when he he
3:52
didn't lose a sense last season
3:54
he's not losing much this season he's losing
3:56
three hundred and forty five dollars again this
3:58
dismantle man
3:59
if you're
4:01
the woman watching this and
4:04
the machine working this way
4:08
the take away goodell power on
4:10
this one
4:11
where your you are realizing an emperor
4:14
has no clothes situation for
4:16
so many years roger goodell has gotten
4:18
his salary to where it is
4:20
as opinion other for the owners because
4:23
he was the hard
4:25
line commissioner who was going to clean up
4:27
the criminals in islam then
4:29
he over punished beyond the law for
4:32
him to not eve not be able to fight this one
4:34
out for him to have to get
4:37
out of the way as the browns
4:39
when john watson wins
4:41
and women lose and
4:43
your sport loses but for six
4:45
games because this you think
4:48
this is going to make it's way of broadcasts
4:50
you think there's gonna be a lot of you think it's ten
4:52
games from the oh look at what time ritual was
4:54
all done for the dolphins what
4:57
is already done for the dolphins you think
4:59
ten games from now anybody's going to be
5:01
talking about talking quarterback let quarterback dry humping
5:03
table problems although the talk about it on a
5:05
football when he when he comes back him back
5:07
him
5:08
league broadcast partners have shown you
5:10
that they're not really all that interested in applying
5:13
that kind of context to it look
5:15
at the of the celebration of been robbers
5:17
burgers career that he spm through
5:20
i on his final home
5:22
game
5:22
against cleveland browns last year they
5:25
they tend to avoid these things
5:27
really disappoints me and i can't say i expected
5:29
more that's right now and on cleveland
5:31
radio you have people celebrating this
5:34
it you have people analyzing this right
5:36
now and he has been what does this mean for the brand's only one
5:38
division game while the got a lucky break with the schedules
5:41
all of it's me as very sad and pathetic because
5:44
he did a lot of this and he had
5:46
the resources to settle it
5:49
you had someone in a position of authority
5:51
to tell you as much as a
5:53
lot of suspicions were confirmed
5:56
a lot of allegations were confirmed and
5:58
yet this is being held up as a me
5:59
victory and i can i go back there
6:02
for a second mic the history of this you
6:04
get mad everytime i frame this
6:06
around goodell but goodell has been
6:08
here as a symbol for
6:10
ownership shield goodell
6:13
makes his money, a money,
6:15
a money that is now private because
6:17
he makes so much of it because
6:20
the television money is so giant this
6:22
man made his name on
6:26
being the guy who punishes
6:29
above-the-law, it's how
6:31
he became the biggest commissioner
6:33
in sports manfred, follows
6:35
him on, trevor bauer manfred,
6:38
learned his knee wait a minute when a guy
6:40
does something like this, i
6:42
can get rid of him years and end
6:44
his career the dell was
6:46
the pioneer, they're using
6:48
his power like
6:50
it hadn't been used by since
6:52
baseball commissioners, actually govern
6:54
the game in the nineteen twenties
6:57
today he puts down his sword
7:00
today the players' union and the lawyers
7:02
and rusty hardin all
7:04
of them were we don't know if he's but it's
7:06
we don't know the appeals process
7:08
and wasn't today was in the last round a collective
7:10
bargaining in which everyone saw
7:12
that roger goodell had too much authority over the
7:15
punishment the the league discipline and
7:17
it and it got seems this is not really have a roger
7:19
goodell stories for me it it becomes
7:21
one if roger then
7:23
decides to take it into his hands and
7:27
an appeal this decision because
7:29
then he has a lot more power and i think he
7:31
just wants to avoid that entire doesn't he have
7:33
to know why isn't he incentivize
7:36
to to lots of leave this national council
7:39
device to look like he cares there
7:41
are incentivized to pretend like
7:43
he cares how this feels
7:46
to his leagues which why is he had said
7:48
device today is it to make it a larger
7:50
public fights where he says what i'm trying
7:52
to do more here i'm trying to determine
7:55
the way i've always governed all over
7:57
punished i'm not the london trying
7:59
to me where are you good is roger goodell answer to
8:02
the other owners the other owners
8:04
want to draw this out because it's not roger get that
8:06
like morally i know i know for
8:08
fact roger goodell has been sampling
8:10
opinions asking for advice what
8:13
should he do he's been running scenarios
8:15
but keep in mind early on in this process
8:17
and we had report said it was invoked the behavior
8:19
of other owners daniel
8:22
snyder jerry jones you
8:24
think he wants to appeal that and have that
8:26
discussion go right now there's the nfl p
8:28
a already told you nfl you better
8:30
not appearing so just know then
8:33
if that's the way that they go
8:35
if the hardline commissioner says
8:37
not
8:38
not interested in that fight they will have
8:40
told you they would have put out the press release
8:43
don't actually care about women
8:45
don't even care how things look nope
8:48
just wanted to go whack want to sean
8:50
want to know when the browns to win the nfl
8:52
to win and women lose those
8:54
don't know like this said roger goodell doing
8:56
his job right because you're blaming roger goodell right
8:58
now when
8:59
like he didn't come up with this decision the league recommended
9:02
a year the league in my room
9:04
and talks might get to my the reason i'm blaming
9:06
roger goodell is because i know that name because
9:09
he's set forth the rules that made it so that
9:11
in an instant like this he can be
9:13
governor you tell me but he also collectively
9:15
bargained a scenario in which right now he
9:18
he can just walk away from this he did not have
9:20
a saying this punishment he actually caught a public
9:22
l he wanted a year in
9:24
settlements actually wanted twelve games
9:27
and a hefty fine the
9:29
last year say that every it's just
9:31
been like what we have a spotlight on this
9:33
else that roger goodell perceived in
9:35
the public the own came years ago when
9:37
they collectively bargain but he wouldn't but i
9:39
got there's when i think he's he's acknowledge
9:41
that he's not going to do this anymore
9:44
he is not be over punishing commissioner
9:46
now he still could be it
9:48
goes after the process me appeal
9:50
comes to him as the nfl wants to appeal
9:52
it's they can but they negotiated
9:55
this process and this according to alber briere
9:57
at least in part because some owners after
9:59
so many mr some discipline over the
10:01
last decade it's one of the nfl take a step
10:03
back in that arena at essentially outsource
10:06
into neutral arbitrator they have done so
10:08
this is been the product of it and so if
10:10
roger goodell can decide right now whether
10:13
or not he wants to continue to be in this game or
10:16
as he officially quitting
10:18
you can't claim that you care
10:20
about women if it's about how things
10:23
look and business and everything
10:25
else takes priority over
10:27
how it is you made your name as the punisher
10:30
u n n hours and i
10:32
think it's to harness islanders look
10:35
i am not defending the the nfl cares about women
10:37
if you look at their toxic were cold turkey see how they covered
10:39
up my what i am an airport you're telling
10:41
me is that big tits
10:44
the president here
10:45
because
10:47
look at what it does to snyder
10:49
all of this is still men protesting men
10:52
the ultimate will be i think the
10:54
decision to whether move forward and we need that
10:57
you to drops the decision to
10:59
move forward with an appeal i think
11:01
the the priority there is not women it's
11:03
probably men who are an ownership position
11:06
because they don't want to have that conversation drawn out
11:08
in public get you but also
11:11
this was an independent orbiter who was a woman
11:13
roger goodell had nothing to do with this
11:15
decision his decision comes now
11:17
i imagine go take the appropriate amount of time to
11:19
move forward with what to do and
11:22
he is going to ask his bosses the nfl
11:24
owners and they are going to care
11:26
a hell of a lot less about women and maybe even
11:29
he does do i have something wrong in
11:31
the system of this when i asked
11:33
you guys the question an independent arbiter
11:35
who is a woman does see
11:38
have to
11:39
take into account what has been their
11:42
workplace precedent of roger
11:44
goodell is an over punisher or is
11:46
he giving
11:48
six games to a guy who's
11:50
gotten around the legalities of
11:52
this and this dealing with civil complaints
11:55
is see giving the extension
11:57
of this is the new nfl
11:59
were we still are punishers
12:01
because in most work places
12:04
you could if you have the value of this
12:06
on what sense end up not
12:08
suffering any six game
12:10
suspension before this recent
12:12
moves towards twenty years
12:14
of roger goodell doing the over
12:17
punishing thing to lead all of sports aren't
12:19
we will prosecute crimes that
12:21
are not crimes according to the law
12:23
i hear you but if that person is applying contacts
12:25
from something outside and not judging the case
12:28
by just simply the merits of the tastes
12:30
and they are acting in a fallacy
12:32
of just
12:33
right
12:34
because you're not supposed to to that you're supposed
12:36
to be totally independence is supposed to block
12:38
out anything that happened prior to anything
12:40
that might happen afterwards your own personal
12:42
bias about the league's that is not your job
12:45
when you're it wasn't your sole focus
12:47
is justice a year and it do you understand
12:49
what i'm saying that before goodell
12:52
there wasn't a scenario where a league
12:54
could come in and give you six games for something
12:56
that wasn't a crime
12:59
and what they do was the there were no crimes
13:01
committed here according to grand jury
13:03
in and that is correct and yet still
13:05
it that six games and the way the what i
13:07
am saying goodell set up a construct
13:09
that i've been telling you for fifteen years the nfl
13:12
is not equipped not equipped not equipped they
13:14
don't quietly get away at the end
13:17
with no will sit it out now because
13:19
i was wrong about all that over punishing stuff now
13:21
i'm making forty million dollars a year we all profited
13:23
off my over punishing stuff because we couldn't
13:25
have chris henry out here and us your
13:27
sink of committing crime right i think
13:29
the punishment that you want your more upset it
13:32
does not getting enough punish for the students
13:35
of of his path not just goodell
13:37
the entire structure meant to camouflage
13:39
all of the power so that goodell
13:41
is the highest you can go up on the heat because
13:43
he's the pioneer on the discipline
13:46
that at the very end of this what you get as
13:48
again women trampled in the protection
13:50
of snyder what you what you get
13:52
again if he doesn't pull that last letter
13:54
i'd want one knees incentivized to
13:56
all that the only incentive to not to
13:58
is the bad luck
13:59
you're saying what the owners wanted to just always
14:02
been a lot more heat on snyder that's protection
14:04
of the business it's cowardice at the highest
14:06
said it's also a partnership your
14:08
adhering to a collective bargaining agreement
14:10
and you're now you're listening
14:13
now now you're going to a when you were built
14:15
upon us or and trebled everybody select what
14:17
was bargains right you are you agreed to
14:20
so he eight when when he gets
14:22
my wrath it's because it's the symbol they're
14:24
throwing out there and paying that way to
14:26
take it as they all hide behind
14:29
him on a day where it can
14:31
be disputed women
14:33
were trampled in the process
14:36
of protecting all entities
14:38
in the business when we're sitting here in cleveland
14:40
celebrating because it looks like a
14:42
den and pardon the pun tucson
14:45
watson got off i think
14:47
roger goodell is earning his money right now during
14:50
the second because again we're not
14:52
keep an eye on them we had someone
14:54
tell us that dish on watson did those things
14:56
he get he got a punishment for it whereas
14:59
you're talking about roger goodell when he
15:01
so he was powerless in the situation
15:03
and now he can decide if he wants
15:05
to throw himself in there and what happens if he does
15:08
that doesn't mean you're going to take it easy on him
15:10
for michael not a to be say he was powerless
15:12
in this situation when i'm telling you there's still
15:14
time for him to not be that kind of empathy
15:17
it doesn't have to choose to be that powerless again
15:19
in the defensive daniel snyder spell when
15:21
people ask me what's to be done here and i'm
15:23
like how about the right thing he's
15:26
actually incentivized to try and give him twelve
15:28
games just so that would such as such
15:30
as even if he doesn't care about women
15:32
the bluster of it would more would virtue
15:35
signal just like so
15:37
jaded by all of this where we care about
15:39
optics and we're talking about what than what feels right
15:41
decision on know what feels right we're
15:44
divisional round game like it's just
15:46
it's you know what i'm saying like it's stupid like
15:49
the fact cleveland decided
15:51
to get this quarter back to me as problematic
15:54
the back of his league has this in their employees
15:57
is problematic the commander's thing
15:59
the me all of this i just
16:01
find a parsing of well that's not enough punishment
16:04
oh great he comes back monday night football
16:06
that's a home game against the bengals we can win that
16:08
one mouth all of it feels so
16:10
stupid to me
16:13
they were victims here some of them
16:15
have settled less than a but they're still
16:17
victims is my point mike all of this brings
16:19
it right back up
16:21
the always going to be victims to everybody
16:24
but one i think must be just announcer
16:26
three the remaining four they have
16:28
settled that's not who they got
16:30
lucky they they they
16:32
they had leverage and and negotiations they were
16:34
wrong the were wrong their
16:37
rights were trampled their
16:39
their privacy was invaded none
16:41
of that seems his with today because
16:43
the show mods and miraculously in the eyes
16:46
of browns fans is only missing one divisional
16:49
what
16:52
there was validity do those
16:54
claims i would honestly
16:57
be worried about having that person
16:59
on my team so because it very clear
17:02
with amount of allegations against some said
17:04
he had a problem and he sold you on the records
17:06
that he's not going to be seeking help because he doesn't
17:08
think you did anything wrong the
17:11
i would have a very deep concern more
17:13
so today then then i had
17:15
about the some watson's even yesterday
17:18
at all of it is gross to me and
17:21
i do put it in this scenario
17:23
and the is not a mortar by any stretch of imagination
17:28
roger goodell is a conversation really
17:31
it's the system it's not goodell it's
17:33
it's the how the system conspires
17:35
including to how it is discussed afterward
17:38
where it's one division game and we know that
17:40
more than the names of the victim is the owner
17:42
stan i'm it's the one i know but
17:44
mike the owners are shielded
17:47
by someone they're paying handsome late
17:49
to be the absorber of these
17:51
things as he makes the rules
17:54
and i wanted pointed out in front of
17:56
everybody that the owners
17:58
here are protecting [unk]
17:59
themselves in the service of the business
18:02
through their lackey who
18:05
has the power and is incentivized
18:08
to use it right now if not for
18:10
the cowardice of having to protect the men
18:12

one it over only drink response
19:37
i don't even think it's necessarily about nfl
19:39
owners at the moment either i think it's about
19:42
a system that sucks with handling
19:44
this particular thing
19:46
if you look at for example the
19:48
arbitrators who robinson corner alber briere
19:50
sports illustrated only heard
19:53
five
19:54
of the total complaints that there were
19:56
when there's i believe over thirty now
19:58
of the total complaints against watson the
20:00
nfl only investigated five
20:03
of them and that's the data
20:05
that zoo robin to worked off of to had a conversation
20:07
earlier in the show was that
20:10
did this would have more information then
20:12
no other areas to said that she had less
20:15
information that out met has been
20:17
confirmed by reporting since and
20:19
so is an orbital not allowed to read news
20:21
reports which is an order is as an
20:23
order to treated like a jury
20:25
yes i know that right i believe
20:27
i am in some ways like the whole point of using
20:30
an arbiter and are that said i'll put of his to the
20:32
had obama i'm vehicle the legal says
20:34
everyone who's the or what your pining for
20:36
is a violation of
20:38
what that job aspires to
20:40
i thought you meant annabel used about
20:42
how days in and then like presents they're finding
20:45
so the nfl investigation i think the
20:47
only interview and of the women and
20:49
then she the only included five
20:51
in her judgment right forever the when she might
20:53
have found like five of them
20:56
she didn't consider the
20:58
level of of worth punishing and for like we don't
21:00
exactly know there's a fifteen page report that
21:02
i haven't read yet right yeah
21:05
like that have felt did investigative work
21:07
and and presented a case on their behalf arguing
21:10
for the indefinite suspension and
21:12
then she gets to decide like what that
21:14
evidence she's going to
21:15
the contacts should be framed by the two
21:17
parties not because the
21:19
the independent arbiter saw a segment
21:22
on h b o real sports one day and is coming
21:24
into it with a said agenda that's not what you wanna live
21:26
in in an independent audit okay so you're guys
21:28
are gonna have to forgive me on this because i
21:31
am and i remain of the assumption and so
21:33
you prove to me otherwise that an independent
21:35
arbiter all they're doing there is not bought
21:37
by the league independent of the league and also
21:39
not bought by the players association independent
21:41
of those two entities aspiring
21:43
to objectivity but not sequestering
21:46
herself and not are able to
21:48
get any other information from
21:50
anywhere other than what proven to her
21:52
and arguments i don't believe that
21:54
that's the case for an independent are but i think
21:56
she's aspiring dubbed activities but she
21:58
is perhaps why
21:59
junaid we are not avoiding a real
22:02
real sport i am ashamed of cynicism there
22:04
but the have said they take mean that they have
22:06
to aspire to objectively any
22:08
but again
22:09
for women who come forward you
22:11
have to relive this constantly in public
22:13
yet to see this man now run out onto
22:16
the field on monday night football yeah
22:18
it continually watch as your
22:20
cases are not believe your cases will lead
22:22
to bigger punishments even as they've been proven
22:24
as mike zimmer i like i even as an independent
22:27
arbiter i m f yeah it's right
22:29
that that the criminal justice system odd
22:31
does nothing with it via grand jury
22:34
this sucks for women in
22:36
every single possible way and
22:39
so that for me is the story
22:41
years how much the system
22:43
feals women who come forward and
22:45
i can't even imagine being a victim
22:48
a dish on watson's right
22:50
now i
22:51
this conversation triggering
22:53
i ran away from every
22:55
and size because i didn't want to be reminded
22:58
of one who avoided as much as
23:00
i humanly can't because
23:02
i have a visceral reaction to
23:04
it it doesn't feel like justice was served today
23:07
even though you have someone telling you something
23:09
app and and you guys can get frustrated
23:11
with this if you want but my
23:13
point
23:14
again and again on goodell and
23:16
ownership what is the point
23:19
how are you having power
23:21
if you're not gonna actually lead with
23:23
it if every principle is gonna be
23:25
and governments of business it
23:27
is immoral you want to talk about independent
23:30
arbiter business owners
23:32
here the heart independent
23:35
in making sure that there needs
23:37
a business amount no matter who would triples
23:39
and if you want to give all these people
23:41
with all be a few money in the world
23:45
the power the change the
23:48
power to lead and all they do was
23:50
so that the northern front of us at
23:52
forty million dollars a year because he lives in service
23:54
of protection of the rules and of system
23:57
the wilderness isn't but it's not leadership
23:59
make your money it's
24:02
just protection of business users
24:05
the yeah basically a a
24:08
front facing suit and is
24:10
the answering to a capitalistic venture
24:13
is this your
24:13
they don't make money by like being
24:15
no people on like
24:16
billionaires your own football teams
24:19
have gotten their one way or another by doing
24:21
things that most of us would find morally object
24:24
the obama a d n it lands at the feet
24:26
of roger goodell who probably should have hired
24:28
an independent orbiter himself for his position
24:30
here because he has his own biases entering
24:32
in it's think about the person that you're asking him to run
24:34
it through site we have to show their work
24:37
supportive of women but i also have to
24:39
see how this lands with jerry jones
24:41
and daniel snyder because of their workplace
24:43
is not what i'm asking him to do with what he
24:45
volunteered for when he took the job
24:48
and they created it and they turned him into
24:50
the guy who rides and honest
24:51
now and here in for a job is getting
24:53
sixty million dollars didn't know but he
24:55
volunteered for taking up the effort
24:58
to be criminal punish or moral stand
25:00
those are conservative
25:01
while maybe he thought that like doing
25:03
a quote unquote the right thing was good for business
25:06
and and doesn't seem like of matters
25:08
of you do the right thing or not
25:10
it's like the entire like all of
25:12
the david samson cynicism is
25:15
basically just reiterating that over
25:17
and over that like as a as a leader one of
25:19
these businesses you can a you
25:21
can basically operate in in
25:23
bad faith all the time and people love
25:25
their sports seem so much that they don't really care
25:28
and that's that's what sampson would say
25:30
always that these owners are banking on i would argue
25:32
that like that's pretty bleak and depressing
25:34
and i think it's probably worth while the call them out
25:36
when they do it but like that is the business
25:38
of of sports and of like a lot of large
25:41
corporations
25:41
america home years ago you have your cigar filled
25:43
room of a bunch of nfl owners being embarrassed
25:46
by the hate behavior of adam pacman jones
25:48
and say we have to do something about this the
25:50
really assume that
25:52
twelve years later
25:54
their names would be invoked in the nfl p
25:56
a case of wait a second if you're
25:58
going to punish us he got a punt
25:59
robert kraft and you got to punish jerry
26:02
jones and you gotta put it is punish daniel snyder
26:04
because there are you're doing these things
26:06
do they acted like they were above the law
26:09
and those that are that are above the loss of
26:11
the most punitive measures for those they feel break
26:13
the and you talked all agree such a lot about how
26:15
roger goodell was you know
26:18
over punisher and took his
26:20
you know responsibility personally
26:22
but every time the nfl has failed
26:24
here they've failed and under punishing
26:27
because ray rice only got two games
26:29
and twenty fourteen simply after that spilling
26:31
out a two game suspension for the league and twenty fourteen
26:34
you believe that they have failed here in
26:36
underpinning why you're basically
26:38
saying you want roger goodell to doubled down
26:41
on being the punishment commissioner just
26:43
didn't seem like you like to know what i would say
26:45
it's you and this was so
26:48
ever present after the stuff that
26:50
happened with george floyd
26:51
and the way they went from
26:54
not calling cap neck rah rah rah rah
26:56
never my we were wrong about anything were
26:58
wrong about everything never mind
27:00
the just like them to stand for something
27:03
other than money
27:04
something you you have all the money in the world
27:06
you're you're you're not that popular it
27:08
doesn't affect your bottom line
27:10
nothing affects your bottom line all
27:12
there is money pouring in from every everywhere
27:15
is the point of having money just to make
27:17
more money
27:18
i yeah something yep
27:21
yep know i became billion iraqi special
27:23
i'm is not the not that there are too many benevolent
27:26
billionaires give , were to
27:28
find something a little bit nicer you might
27:30
find his knee mbs where the nfl
27:32
were what would the average age of an nfl owners
27:34
seventy three my own finger on my
27:36
the nfl is old modi not reince
27:38
authoritarian but what i wanted
27:40
same guys like this guys like this
27:43
is not
27:44
it's happens to be i
27:46
you but it's not hard to like of
27:48
like look at this and realize why this
27:50
happens and mcguire keeps happening said
27:52
you don't have to you'll have to read the cbs
27:55
you know have to analyze roger
27:57
goodell like jobs history over
27:59
the last and you're like it's pretty easy
28:01
to see how this continues to happen over
28:03
and over again even though like outside
28:06
of boards ago we had this me too movement
28:08
and and now women feel empowered to carbon
28:11
like yeah there's
28:13
still like us a system in place
28:16
the criminal justice system and also all of these other
28:18
institutions that we look to
28:20
to lead us that haven't changed
28:22
you got your number of alive and is what you're telling
28:25
me you're good to with the idea that
28:27
they've been selling us this and
28:29
it's allies now it's like
28:31
never mind you've got to just good with
28:33
they're not good with it i just see through i'm
28:36
as a business strategy or as opposite
28:38
your you guys are so numb
28:41
to the insincerity of it's to the stand
28:44
for nothing but money that when it arrives
28:46
yet again on your doorstep we're going
28:48
to spend shearing dish on watson
28:50
to they were brown france because we're
28:52
all going to lose of for six games and it feels like
28:54
we just won the off season your
28:57
york that know your that that
28:59
sports business and and billionaires
29:02
and business and money in general have left
29:04
you so cynical that your mum
29:06
to the lies in the insincerity and you just
29:08
expected
29:10
i do think from from talking to folks
29:13
and knowing the roger goodell as been they're
29:15
speaking to people wondering
29:18
never really envisioning this day would come
29:20
when he took this job
29:22
the expansion fees and tv rights
29:24
you
29:25
the trying to avoid the scenario in which
29:28
yet again
29:29
the is a bad guy and he is wrong i
29:31
disagree with you so much there in that he
29:33
invited the scenarios by getting
29:35
endeavors head on been bigger than the last
29:37
the process of the serial port no profit
29:40
off the last six pm
29:42
with the person you guys like mrs not about
29:44
the don't i'm like speed is about the way power
29:46
leads and changes and does it's does
29:48
it's the way power pretax and money protects
29:51
and doesn't it's about who protects
29:53
and dozens and you guys are like that business
29:56
mike
29:58
seriously that one is be
30:00
vigilant he's gonna lose his job if he's
30:02
a vigilante not a violent man as me
30:04
was a vigilante forgive me i mentioned also
30:06
single that's my bet he's never had a problem what
30:09
we did have a problem when an allegation a physical abuse
30:11
while he was oh that's right of the end but
30:14
pacman jones and chris henry it's is
30:16
where the lead was out of control the black
30:18
criminals are taking over we have to say this
30:20
out it would birth tapper next it would
30:22
burst the idea that these misleads
30:24
not out of control work at serve the league and we will
30:26
rain down on a wholly punishments
30:29
over the law and the players' union we will not
30:31
collectively bargain this there is no bargain here
30:33
we will crush the player could we can have the league
30:35
looking like it's run by criminals and now
30:37
the quarterback looks like
30:39
he's a criminal all of it is gross
30:41
and
30:43
why like my my
30:45
then i fell
30:46
rob lowe thing is really just me becoming an nfl
30:48
nihilist
30:49
this point i like the sport too much to
30:51
quit it entirely because i
30:53
love my sundays alla fantasy sports
30:55
i love gambling on it i love watching the game
30:58
i love the strategy i love plan
31:00
i love football not get a cut it out
31:02
of my life the business of football is gross
31:05
it is what is really gross what
31:07
did he do the girls with happening right now today's
31:10
decisions the fact that someone has to apply
31:12
what is owners are doing stint in
31:14
order to decide whether or not he moves forward all
31:16
of it is discussing i'm no more
31:18
hypocritical from going from a browns
31:21
logo to an nfl logo
31:23
it makes me feel a little bit better about
31:25
myself soldiers marched down that wouldn't you
31:27
mention feeling better about yourself i can
31:29
help out of spewing after spewing acid
31:31
dot bet on a b c i
31:34
was delighted and surprised to see edward
31:36
cowboys' game
31:37
though is there even when he wasn't with the spm
31:40
he was scylla cowboys can't i picked ed werder
31:42
wasn't any as the end is back
31:44
at e s p n there was something soothing
31:46
about a b c i was expecting see him on a
31:48
b c i'm used to seeing him so he has pm
31:51
on at cowboys camp but now they continue
31:53
to grow and they're going to be everywhere and his
31:56
this virus is gonna be everywhere in it
31:58
is so addictive that and
31:59
order svu is made by being at cowboys
32:02
gates my sports north sorry
32:04
just know that it's always gonna be there and if i ever
32:06
lose my way i just looked towards dallas
32:09
cowboys camp knowing that that mustaches
32:11
gonna be that how long was edward
32:13
are not are d s p
32:15
the i think a couple years there's
32:18
like three years at least
32:20
and
32:21
it was like he hit the ground running was like he never let
32:23
when did that get on a b c though when did
32:25
we start covering cowboys camp with
32:27
ed werder on network television
32:30
at all for two years i'm not i'm not sure what you were
32:32
watching on if they had like sports highlights but
32:34
know it was a sports highlights it was like it looks like a
32:36
thirty minutes or nfl sports so
32:38
know it was it was not thirty
32:40
minutes it was three hours
32:43
on saturday afternoon from noon to
32:45
three was returned to football
32:47
now she wants to significant amount of it's because
32:49
it was before an mls broadcast by to leave
32:52
so is like this the nfl scheduled
32:54
a day where from
32:57
articles i ate in the morning until seven
32:59
at night there was a different training
33:01
camp practice going on that either
33:03
he has been a b c or nfl network
33:06
was live broadcasting from so they can
33:08
present return to football
33:13
it's
33:15
and for all our blustering our not gonna give
33:18
see at once bills sort of
33:20
bills rams kicks off on thursday night
33:22
the goes away the you're
33:25
just sucked into how awesome the sport
33:27
is and how great the broadcast
33:29
are and how much money you have on one
33:31
side and oh i need seven catches
33:34
from cooper cup tonight's is that's
33:36
great it's that's why
33:38
it is a booming business sale
33:42
i just
33:44
look man okay
33:45
i love it too i love
33:48
this dirty saying i love this sinful
33:50
an ethical thing
33:53
but there's some things that happen
33:55
like for example i know trump is despicable
33:58
but when ivana trump for
33:59
purposes it appears
34:02
i'm gonna say appears because i just
34:05
have to accent or donald try to benefit to
34:07
benefit i get well maybe
34:09
it was the tense but to to bury
34:12
ivana trump who dies mysteriously
34:15
by staircase the day
34:17
before the families depositions and then
34:19
she's buried in a in a poppers
34:23
grave on his golf course because of
34:25
property tax exemptions and three
34:27
different kinds of tax exemptions and
34:32
i'm not numb to it yet
34:34
i'm not yeah i'm i'm not numb to you can
34:36
just keep being so appalling all
34:39
the time that i get numb to
34:41
your lies because every last
34:43
thing is more disgraceful than the last
34:45
banks that makes it feel like you're not
34:47
very human i'm i'm
34:49
surprised that surprised
34:51
shouldn't be i guess
34:53
that three hours of football
34:56
would be on saturday the returned to football
35:00
and the this
35:02
will be gone six games
35:05
into the seattle area although will be
35:07
gone it'll be gone the second scott hansen
35:09
welcomes you to seven hours of commercial
35:12
free football over get all of it and
35:14
you'll be reminded of it one one and i broadcasts a
35:16

35:38
a truth because you're in partnership
35:40

36:37
the partnerships
36:39
make it so this stuff can't be talked
36:42
about honestly during a broadcast
36:44
because people don't want it with their broadcast
36:47
the you see how everything in the system conspires
36:50
against the victim
36:52
it's everything in the system just one
36:54
hundred percent from the broadcast
36:56
partners having journalism entities

37:51
goes into making it how it kills it's players
37:54
we can't we don't we cannot begin to
37:56
fathom what this vessel is
37:58
i will say that those
37:59
players know this be better than you and it's
38:02
why they don't love it quite as much as you do they
38:04
love the sundays but they don't feel like they're playing a
38:06
game the rest of the time like it too much or
38:08
people that so actively smoke cigarettes people

38:13
too much and it tells you that it's not
