Dang.

By the way, I know, we were kind of.
Giving Lee to Lapar, executive producer, a hard time last hour. It should be pointed out that we're lucky to have him here today because he was nearly eaten alive by a pack of coyotes.
Uh straight pack that he.
Sent over video evidence.
Lee like twenty of the Mother Lovers.
Lee's hanging out in his car at a pack of five coyotes roll up to him.
Lee what like?
So this was actually, uh.
Coyotes like booze that much.
Lorena actually with the assist saved me on this one. I was giving her a ride to the Burbank Airport and she was parked behind me, and she's and I.
Was like, the way they talk about each other is so crazy. Bro. Got they don't end up married.
Got, Well, she just she texts me, or actually she called me.
We were in separate cars and she says, you should probably look up and look up and there's fire. There's a coyote look at me right in the face. But why would you be looking down. I was on my car. I was on my phone, as everyone does. By the way, No, it was no as you can see in the video, I said you we were all we were both parked part in the neighborhood, and I was, uh, you know, I was there before she was. I was just on my phone waiting for it so that I can give her a ride to the airpone.
How does she know to tell you to get your head out?
Yeah, she pulled up behind me and she said, uh, look.
Up, So you guys are like Shador and his girlfriend.
Get it, says sound And it sounds just as incongruent as that story.
I guess.
I was, yeah, look up and see all these coyotes from behind, like you would not make it in a horror flick.
Lee.
You just taking a guess, which, by the way, that is a big safety uh tip to everyone out there.
They always say, don't stop.
Uh.
People are getting targeted who are on their phones in their cars because everyone just sits in their car and looks at their phone and stuff like that.
People are going out all that.
That's one of my big pet peeves that people will pull up to a house and just still be scrolling on their phone. Like I can understand if you're listening to something on the rate like a lot you know, this show does that for a lot of people. They want they want to listen to the end of a segment so bad that they're willing to sit in their car and listen to the end of it. But there's some people who just pull up and will just continue to scan on their phone. Get out of the car, just do it inside. What do you got better Wi Fi? And you're in your civic get out and just go inside. Why are you hanging out in your car unless you know you're you're you're doing some shenanigans, which the tea it's their own. But Lee's just minding his own business and he's got five coyotes.
Rolling up all the type of shenanigans.
You know, maybe that's what the the coyotes wanted in all the fun.
It depends on who you are, you know, but there's been Yeah, maybe, but it does you know, beg the question. You know, there was that thing that was popular a few weeks ago where it was can one hundred men kill a gorilla?
A silverback gorilla? Can one lead to lap kill five coyotes?
Easy done? All you gotta do is take out the first one. Then they're scattered.
Yeah. I don't know, man, Oh give me a chance.
Half is considered to be a pack. Yeah, I don't know. I mean, I don't know. You probably get some good licks off on them, like you know, a couple of kicks here and there. But if they keep, if they if they pack you out, that's going to be a hard one for you to win. The question going, they're gonna bite you up pretty good.
No, I have confidence in myself.
My question would be would I able to defend because I got two little dogs that I led into the front yard?
Oh those are still yeah, those are sacrificed for the Yeah.
Cause yeah, exactly Can I Can I defend I defend two.
Dogs against a pack of coyotes?
No, because you can't defend yourself. Lee.
That's why I'm trying to tell you. I know you could be confident in you, but five coyotes.
And they didn't.
They weren't small, No, they were healthy too. There were a couple of them that were pretty Bigley.
Send the video out on social media so people can see why you nearly were eating alive by cotes.
A couple of them bad boys, was pretty big man. I just don't one or two? Yes, you can defend yourself. Five that's too many.
Bro, By the way, what a story? So how do you go five coyotes got him.
He was drinking.
He was drinking out of a flask at eight fifteen in the morning, and five coyotes rolled up and took it from him and then ate him alive.
I got out after this video and confronted one of them. They didn't do anything. They didn't like.
Scatter fronted one of them. Well, they're they're you know, they're flighty. You know, they're more like foxes than they are like wolves. Like they're not They're not going to you know, they're not going to engage you unless they felt like they needed to engage you, Like if they were hungry, like hungry, hungry, they they they might, they might pack you out.
You gotta be killed. Don't don't. Don't be taking that light, bro.
By the way, I thought I thought coyotes were just a California thing. They're in every state.
They're everywhere.
They're everywhere everywhere, So everybody's got a problem, especially when the weather gets warmer, because they don't want to take their animals out during the day, so they'll take them on walks at night, and the coyotes just lurk and they're just waiting for something small, somebody to be dilly daling on their phone. Leash gets away from them and next thing you know that coyotes chewing on your poodle. That's how that works.
So there you go.
Uh, good luck to all the poodles and puppies out there.
Man, So you got to get a real dog. You don't have those problems.
Unless it's a skunk.
But it is.
Ye, the show does not have great luck. Uh Raccoon Craft and Brady's pool. LeVar got skunked and he got attacked by coyotes.
Me and mister Sticks got skunked. He got it bad. It was all in his mouth.
He put that stink in that my my baby's he put it in my dog's mouth.
Pause your mouth.
Wait, we do have uh we Lee has sent out the tweet I believe is at Lee to laugh. Is where they can find that. That is social media. So uh so you can see for yourself why Lee nearly was eaten by coyotes. All right, So, uh, speaking of issues, the New York Jets had some issues over the past.
Couple of years and the quarterback.
The quarterback with the New York Jets, Aaron Rodgers, apparently was vocal about these issues. He and Mark Schlareth Fox Sports one host Are Friends and Mark Schlareth was talking about a situation Rogers was venting about in New York on his Stinking Truth podcast Let's take a Listen.
One thing that Aaron and I had a conversation about when he was with the Jets was how abysmal their running game was and how schematically it made no sense. And I brought up the conversation. I started the conversation, and then Aaron went on for about a twenty five minute diet.
Tribe on just their run game.
I asked Aaron about it, just about the run game in general, and I said, man, this is like, it's really bad. And he went on this diet drive just about you know, the dysfunction of what we're trying to accomplish and all these different things.
And so apparently Rogers, even in the mix there in New York, was not happy.
About some of the decision making.
Some of the ideas on how how to fix the run game, so on and so forth. And just the more that you hear about this time in New York for Rogers and everybody involved, the more you realize that was just an awful idea, Like that was an awful idea. His chance to succeed in New York ended four plays into.
The season when he first got there.
It was over because then everybody's timeline was off. He was out for the year. It was going to take him into the very next year to try and get back to full health. And by that time there had already been a coaching change and all sorts of crap going on with the Jets. That moment, when he went down with the injury, it was a wrap they were never going to get. You needed everything to be perfect, You needed the timing for everybody to be perfect. With a coach potentially on the hot seat and a quarterback late in his career, and four plays into the season, the timing got thrown off and it was a mess ever since then.
It was never gonna work after that.
Who was that making the quote talking about it, Marshal earth Mark?
Interesting?
I just you know, for me, I always think when when bad mouthing of an organization or of a quarterback, excuse me, a coach, whatever it may be, when that comes out after they've left, I just find it to be disingenuous. I find it to be convenient, and it doesn't hit the same. It just doesn't If you had these these feelings, and you had these these conclusions and these thoughts, then let it out. Let it be made known. Because after the fact, it's late. There's no reason to give us, you know, that type of information and and that have to be dissemined because conclusions have already been written, they've already been been drawn that it's already happened. So I just feel like the Aaron Rodgers experiment in New York did not work and it's over. Like what happens next? Does Justin Fields make this New York Jets better a better team? Does Aaron Rodgers make the Pittsburgh Steelers a better team?
Again?
This is why the National Football League is the greatest reality TV show that has ever existed. Oh, we put Aaron Rodgers in one of the biggest media markets in the country, in the world, and it didn't work out. But you know what, Hey, let's put them in a different media market. Let's see if it works out in Pittsburgh. Oh, now we can cross reference and bring that back and wrap it into New York City. Oh, we brought in Justin Fields from Pittsburgh. He didn't get it done in Pittsburgh. Let's take him out of that market. Let's put them in New York. Now we got a cross referencing of stories. How did this work? One side may do better, one side may do worse. One player may do better, one player.
May do worse. Both players may stink, both players might be great.
No matter how this all plays out, the storyline still exists to be able to write them in a very entertaining way, which is why the NFL continues to win.
Do you think because the way Mark Schlaer kind of laid it out was he reached out to Rogers and noticed that there was some questionable decisions as far as their scheming goes with the offensive line, and then Rogers went on to vent about what it is that they were doing. I just so, I don't know if it was necessarily Rogers airing out the organization so much.
I think he did a lot of that. On the Pat McAfee show.
He's about to say he has aired him out. Yeah, that's not that wouldn't be anything anything new, But go ahead.
I just.
Like we've seen this before to where like when the Cold tired Jeff Saturday, it was like, Wow, this this could be cool we were on the air. I think that was our first year doing the show together. When the cold tired Jeff Saturday and it was like, well, let's see how this works. Let's see how this works, because this is a bold, different approach. It doesn't feel like it's gonna work, but let's just see. And they win the first game and you're thinking to yourself, man, maybe the Colts knew something. And then upon further review, the idea was preposterous. It just didn't like it just it just didn't like it was never gonna work because the timing of everything, like you're you're asking a guy to walk off a TV set and take over a team that he hasn't been around, Like it was never gonna work. But it didn't take until afterwards where all of your initial thoughts were confirmed. And when Rogers joined the Jets. I think I speak for a lot of people where it was Okay, it's Rogers, it's the Jets. We've seen this with Farv, but it didn't work with him. It's never seemingly worked with any quarterback with the Jets. But let's give it a shot. And literally running out with the American flag on Monday Night football and four plays later it was over.
He was he was after that And you know.
This from going through the Achilles injury. When did he look close to himself? Even last year?
I mean, yeah, I was geeking out. We're going to come back this season because watch.
How I'm so excited for this again you.
And if anybody can do it, it's going to be Aaron Rodgers. He's coming back. Did you hear that he's coming back. He was on the field before the game warming up. Is he going to suit out?
Yeat? And now that you look back on it, now that I'm taking, like taking a step back, and I'm hearing him vent to Mark Schlaert about the run game and all these other I just realized, Man, that was it. I remember where I was watching it when he went down with the injury. I remember thinking to myself, Oh God, there's no way it's going to be over this quick, but then thinking, well, maybe he'll come back that year and maybe it'll be a bounce back year the year after. It's like, no, the timeline got thrown off completely. You needed everything to be perfect. You had the coach on the hot seat, you had an organization who was desperate, you had an owner who was desperate. You had a quarterback who wanted to prove people wrong and move away from his previous organization and do what the guy who preceded him did in Brett Farb, but do it differently. And four plays in gone, all of it gone. I completely wiped out. And it makes me feel dumb that I was thinking this entire time while Rogers is in New York, like no, no, no, but but and it just dysfunction after dysfunction.
It was just it was never gonna work. The parent It's so.
Like this is like a one sided rant going on right now, right like we're talking about it from Aaron Rodgers' perspective.
Imagine how you felt if you were in the New York Jets.
Oh my god, like you got some nerve to be talking about our your frustrations about us?
What about us?
Aaron Rodgers, you ever stopped to think about the pain and heartache you caused us?
Take some cottondorm responsibility over yourself.
It's just like your mother, lover.
It's like two hot heads dating each other. Like you got two hot heads dating each other's where'd you guys meet at a bar drinking? Oh well, everything will be fine, and they get married. It's a shotgun wedding. They get married, married, and then you know, five six months later, Oh yeah, it didn't work out no way.
Oh you know you don't have.
Your wedding ring on.
Oh you don't say, it's like, what's going on here?
How's the missus what?
That's why, that's why I truly believe that Rogers in Pittsburgh will be better than Rogers in New York, just because that situation was never gonna work, Like, it was never gonna happen.
Well, let's be clear here, Mike Tomlin knows he needs to have a good year. There's no I mean, there's no mistaken. He doesn't need a crystal ball or somebody to tell him. He knows going into this he needs to have a good year. Rogers feels the same way, maybe doesn't feel as much of a sense of urgency as it applies to what he needs to do, just based off of the fact he's already had a first ballot Hall of Fame or career, but he's still playing, which means that he still feels like there's something to prove. And so you take that and you add in the element of Mike Tomlin seemingly having a very very strong, domineering type of personality and the way he runs his team and how this thing is all, you know, kind.
Of constructed in Pittsburgh.
It just appears that Aaron Rodgers, while he will continue to still be a lightning rod and still be a major topic of conversation from the media, it just seems like this would be the right place where a coach can handle the type of person and the type of elements that come along with Aaron Rodgers being on your team, and that could pay dividends for both the team and for the player.
But it could also end very very bad.
Yeah, I mean, it also has the potential of crashing and burning very badly as well. So again, it's it's it's reality television and it's must see TV.
I know I'm gonna be locked down.
Oh I can't wait. I'm gonna be locked I can't wait. And it's also kind of leading to what you're saying.
It's two entities who've been through a lot of crap the past couple of years, dealt with a lot of crap, and they're probably like, look, can we just play ball? Like I just want to play ball. I just I want to go out. I want to play ball. I want to have an understanding of what it is that we're doing, and I don't want to deal with all the chaos like that's it. And I think that's probably good news for the Steelers who are probably hoping for some good news, and you get justin Fields week one, it's great good for the NFL.

Be sure to catch live editions of Two Pros and a Cup of Joe with Brady Quinn LeVar Errington and Jonas Knox weekdays at six am Eastern three am Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.
She got going on here, Mark DJ, Marky Mark, what you got? What you got rocking right here? Mark?
Ain't no party like a Mark party?
Yee.
Better than that garbage Lorena was playing yesterday. Boyd, she rolled out some stinkers Fellows getaway day for her.
My god, I saw Loraina in that article. She made an appearance.
Oh man, it is two pros and a cup of Joe here on Fox Sports Radio.
Oh man, um, by.
The way, by the way, did you see Brady's reply?
Yes, yes, yes I did.
All right, So coming up a little over fifteen minutes from now, by the way, just for those of you wondering, yes, Brady Quinn is alive and well, we heard from him yesterday.
Coming up a little.
Over a little over fifteen minutes from now, we are going to get into how things are going, uh, maybe not so well. Things are going not so well. First, somebody post NFL career. We'll get into that for you here on FSR. But this is a Friday tradition. You know, there's a there's only three hours in a show here each day, and there's a lot of storylines that come up. Some make the cut, some don't make the cut, but we did want to carve out a special time for each of those in a little something we do called our topic ground Up.
Yeah, set up, partners, tighten them their checks. It's the topic.
Round Up, and away we go. LeVar are yeh we started.
We break out the lasso and we are going to wrangle up some college football news. For starters, how about the fact that College Football Executive Director Rich Clark announced the College Football Playoff will now require teams to provide player availability report for this year's playoffs.
And why would that be?
Why for the gambling, Baby, It's all about the gambling, you see. Gone are the good old days where you could just sort of maybe hit up somebody's roommate or somebody's buddy and find out, hey is so and so playing, Hey, how's so and so doing with that calf issue that popped up?
No, no, no, no.
College football is getting closer and closer to a professional model. This is another small step towards that the NFL does this. They provide injury reports. And now for the college football playoff teams will be required to give you an injury report. Now, the Big Ten already does this. They have teams that must submit an injury report at least two hours before kickoff. The availability reports, which are posted online, list athletes is either questionable or out. The SEC implemented a similar one, but they've added a little bit more details. In twenty twenty four, players list did under one of the four statuses out, questionable, probable, or available. These statuses are submitted on Wednesdays, and they're updated each day leading up to and including the day of the game. The final report must be submitted no later than ninety minutes before kickoff, and schools failing to provide accurate or timely information are subject to increasingly escalating fines. So you got the Big Ten who's already doing it, The SEC is already doing it, and the College Football Playoff Committee's like, yeah, if you're going to be here in this college football playoff, we need to know whether or not your players are going to be available.
All right, Well, there you go.
I do miss though, this is a fun story. A buddy of mine who will be will leave him nameless. He was a Division one college football player, a quarterback, and he was, well, yeah, in fact, you played against him.
Okay, yeah, so I'll tell you off.
I don't want to I don't want to air this guy unless I get permission to tell this story.
So he was dealing with a little bit of an issue anyways.
But back then, I'm sure you probably had players roll into games that were banged up, but nobody said anything, like you didn't have to report him, like you didn't have to do it. So this guy not only was dealing with a little bit of an issue, but he also got popped for a dui and nobody knew about it, Like, but it was still on the team. He's still still on the team because he was starting quarterback. Nobody knew about it. Like even his best friend, who I know does had no idea, had no clue about it. They're going to Oregon State. They're in core Vallas. They walk onto the field.
You're talking about college, Yeah, college.
They walk onto the field and somebody from the crowd yells hey, such and such nice duy.
He looked around.
I'm like, how did that guy know?
How did he know?
And he just kind of nodded his head.
Those records, yeah, those days are gone now with injuries and all the statuses and whatnot, college football players kind of taken away the the good old days of college football where you could, you know, maybe pay somebody a few bucks, like hey, I'll give you a percentage. How so and so looking in practice?
How so? Now now it's going to be everything's got to be on the up and up. It's too bad.
It's a brave new world. It's going to be interesting to see how it all kind of unfolds and and begins to develop the more I guess pronounced way of looking at college football. Now, Uh, part of me gets nervous, But then there's the other part of me. It says, listen, it's progress, and progress is certainly what what is a part of a progressive society, progressive cultures? So, I mean it happened, and these things happen, and it'll be interesting to see how to all you know, how to all unfolds?
That's right, Okay, pretty weak spatoon.
That was a week one man whoever died? That was grandma was that we're trying to spit through there. And that's my uncle right there.
Uncle.
Was that a COVID? Get that COVID spatoon out of here. Mark, come on there you go.
Oh dang, there we go, all right? Lav Arrington, Yeah, man, C J. Mosley, you and him got a lot in common. Retires from the NFL after ten years. Five time Pro Bowler, good for it and second team All Pro. Missed a ton of games last year due to injury. But he's had a really good career. He got paid as a pro, and he's going to eventually join one LeVar Arrington in the College Football Hall of Fame. One Day Buckets Award winner, two time National Champion, two time All American. And he goes out and calls it a career on his thirty third birthday.
Damn, nice career for one.
CJ. Moseley, five Pro bowls? Is that's solid? Bull, that's solid?
Yeah?
He Paul. C. J. Mosley a baller, man. I liked his game.
Congratulations on a great, great career, and yeah, it's upward and onwards.
That's right. Bang.
Geez, what the hell was that?
Es?
Who's that Doc?
Holiday?
Falling off the horse? I just can't win. No, that was tuberculosis. Spittoon told me to bring it. I found somebody to bring.
Fair enough, all right, Speaking of players, who called it a career Darren Waller.
Some would refer to him as the.
Acts of Kelsey Plumb, but Darren Waller spoke recently on the Side you Don't See podcast and he explained the moment he realized his career was over.
We were running like this counter lead running play and I'm kind of like leading through the hole. I'm a fullback and the play is working. But I sit down on the sideline after like a drive where he ran like three times, and I'm like, what am I doing with my life? I'm not here playing fullback. I don't you want to do this anymore? And I'm just like looking at the moon. It's like early first quarter or second quarter. Nobody else would really even know that I'm thinking this, but almost all I like, yep, I'm going to finish this year with the best of my ability, but I'm definitely done playing after this year.
So that's Darren Waller explaining the moment he realized, Yeah, that's a rap. I'm no longer going to be playing football after this career or after this year, after this season. Yeah, this year, that's a rap. Now did you have I know you mentioned that, listen, you you had the injury, and that was over for you. Was there ever a moment before then that you were like, yeah, I've had about it enough.
I didn't have a I had enough moment. But when I when I sustained the injury, that the rupture in my achilles sendon, I definitely knew that was it. Like I knew that was it. I looked around, I took in the sights, I took in the smell of it all.
I was in Texas.
We were playing the Cowboys, So I guess it was fitting or or maybe I went down in the Washington game or something. But you hate for it to end that way, you know. I hate for Wallert to feel that way, and that's why it was the end of it. You know, there's always those those horror stories of how a career ends, but there's also some really really cool stories, you know, about how guys in their careers as well. So you know, you don't I guess you don't really pick and choose what your ending is. It just it kind of finds you and and it's it's dictated to you and some regards.
But you know, Darren Waller, you know, he's an eclectic dude, super super creative guy. He's rapping now.
He loves doing his music, and I mean, if you've ever met him, he's super cool dude, man, super down the earth guy, easy to talk to, you know, fun caring dudes. So I wish them all the best, wish them all all the luck in the world. But yeah, I get it, man, you have those moments.
Also, a guy who found sobriety, you know, cleaned himself.
Up and then ended up, you know, having a pretty.
Decent runs a pretty decent career. So yeah, he's off to bigger and better things. And at some point the same can be said for Travis Kelcey, but not so fast, because you know, there was this story that came out, this speculation that Travis Kelcey had lost twenty five pounds getting ready for the season. He spoke this week about the rumor and had this to say.
First of all, I never said that. I don't believe all you read on the internet. Guys, all right, never told anybody. I mean, I I'm down. I'm down some weight, yeah from uh from the end of the season last year.
But each year is different, man. You gotta you gotta rebuild it.
And uh, this year got some time to really focus on some some form running and some uh some things early on in the offseason that I just didn't have time for last year, and certainly feeling good and I think it'll pay off.
Man.
I mean, listen, last year he was, you know, on stage with Taylor Swift at certain concerts. He was traveling the globe. I mean, you can't be bothered with you know, running routes and small drills like that when you're on stage with the biggest star on the planet.
What are we talking about here?
And you got to lose some weight so you look better on camera. You know that big stuff only works on the football field.
You gotta get on, gotta get on that slim it out that Alan Fanica. Start slimming on out, start start running marathons.
He does look different, man, all them all, o Lynman be looking different after they're done.
Man, they lose like one hundred pounds.
Joe Thomas, Joe Thomas got jacked after he was done.
You don't even know who they are, man.
You know the pouncy twins got yoked up too, Like them dudes be getting small. They either look like you said it looked like marathon runners, like they're going to jump on the back of a horse and ride a horse a Jared Allen, Hey, bruh, Jared Allen, bruh.
He's so skinny.
Now, Alan Fanica did his twenty three and meters like to fifty eight percent?
Kenyon? What happened here?
Joe? What he like?
Skin What are we looking at here?
Yeah?
I just but it does tell you how much those guys are force feeding themselves just to be able to play, like, just to be able to keep weight on for all those years.
Otherwise they're not going to be able to do it.
So uh yeah, listen, Travis Kelsey, who knows, maybe he's got one year left, maybe he's got two. But you know, we can stop, you know, wait, shaming the guy for those of you out there.
He just had a down year. Everything's going to be fine.
And that'll conclude this week's edition of our Topic Round up here on Fox Sports Radio. Thank you to Mark Oh Oh, Thank you to Mark, and most importantly, Doc Holiday of fighting through tuberculosis to spit on the air with us here on FSR. All right, coming up next here on Two Pros and a Cup of Joe, there's somebody in the NFL speaking of the NFL who post career looks a little dicey.
We're gonna explain why right here at FSR.
Be sure to catch live editions of Two Pros and a Cup of Joe with Brady Quinn, LeVar Arrington and Jonas Knox weekdays at six am Eastern, three am Pacific.

LaVar, have you seen the video of Adrian Peterson at the poker tournament?
So I have not.
He was at a poker tournament recently and Apparently there were some drinks involved and some fisticuffs involved. He and another poker player got into it and they were throwing hands. Adrian Peterson was significantly bigger than this guy. This guy still landed a couple of decent shots, surprised decent ones.
Yeah, and you must have saw that boxing that some confidence in itself.
I've got a chance, it's gonna say so, I've really got a chance.
This is my moment, Adrian Peterson.
You can find the video Leahs sent you over the link of the video and you know, you can break down the fight footage if you will on how this played out between Adrian Peterson and some guy.
Now.
Adrian Peterson afterwards said, oh, it's all good. He's actually a buddy of mine. It was more like a brotherly thing. He was a little bit bloodied up, but he swears that was from falling into the chair. The other guy was blooded up as well too. So just you know, your run of the mill poker tournament that turns into a fistfight with a guy who should be a Pro Football Hall of Famer sometime soon.
But yeah, I'm watched it. I'm watching it.
When you start to stack up the Adrian Peterson post career just feels like we're starting to enter into a problematic situation.
This doesn't look like healthy behavior.
That's for he got a reportedly got a duy. I think after the Vikings draft party. The Vikings were roasting a draft party and a few hours later Adrian Peterson got a duy. You mentioned the Le'Veon Bell boxing match. That seemed like a good idea right until Le'Veon Bell landed a shot and.
That was over.
It.
Just at some point you wonder.
You missed the couple too, by the way.
Anybody there like what were the other ones?
I mean that wasn't post career though, that was during his career.
Oh yeah, yeah those two, Yeah, there are there are those as well too. At some point, is anybody gonna step in and be like, hey man, what are we doing here?
Like's you know, there's there was the issue with the bankruptcy stuff that was out there. There was the you know, was it a disciplining disciplining of.
The children that they got a lot of got a lot of blowback as well too, And now you're seeing all of this behavior post career and it's like, you.
Know, he's got a lot of life ahead of him.
You helpe, you'd like to believe it doesn't. I mean, I don't know. I don't know him. I don't know him well at all.
I've met him a few times and seems like a solid dude.
He just turned forty, by the way, just turn.
I mean fighting over fighting over a card game?
You know? I don't know, man. Yeah.
See, that's why that's why Steven A. Smith plays solitaire because you can't.
You're not going to fight anybody, you know, just break your phone?
Yeah, you just playing, get it right, just to just go ahead and break the phone. I don't. I don't know, man, I don't know.
I don't know enough about him, is what I'm trying to say to make any type of judgments against him in terms of does there need to be an intervention to help him, you know, clear his mind and get on the right path.
I don't. I don't know what the scenario is, right, I really don't.
I think it's like anything, you just got to find, even if it's not something you are as passionate about as you were playing. You've got to find something to fill that void. Otherwise you're gonna be trying to fill that void in other places that are probably gonna be hazardous.
You lose the stimulation. And it's just like muscle mass and the way you look when you play. If you don't work the same way, you lose it. And if you lose it, you're going it's gone. And it's the same thing for your mind. If you don't find that stimulation for your mind as sharp as your mind was and how it holds you together, you lose it. You start to lose aspects of how sharp your mind is. So and I'm not saying that's Adrian Peterson in this scenario. I'm just saying in general, you definitely get a ton of physical and mental stimulation when you play the game, and you got to you gotta find ways to continue on with that.
That's all.
Yeah, And and hopefully he will find that because he's got a date with that, not.
Through car fights, no, you know, or bear it anyway. Yeah,
