I'm your host, Marcel Swally. That dude, oh man, I learned one thing and one thing only yesterday. That greatness is consistency. And since I've been consistently going to the gym, I'm looking great. Let me stop. These shirt's getting bigger and bigger because I'm getting itaty and biddy in up in that time. Look at that I'm over reflecting my muscles. They not even moving. You know why? Shirt too big? You can't even see it. I'm playing, I'm playing. I'm trying to get right, y'all, but I'm every time you try to get right, then you look at your clothes, You're like, they don't look right. So I'm in that little phase. But I'll take it because I ride the roller coaster, so don't trip on me. Man. Much love to you guys out there. You know how we start off every show with what's up with that? Dude?

Please log on a Project Transition dot or Now what happened yesterday after the show? Football practice? Had to send the kids down. Man. They get out out of shape. Their minds are out of shape, so far out of shape, their bodies whatever. They're eight years old, who cares? They don't even to stretch and they run a forty, but their minds gone playing all these other sports. Baseball, my baseball player kid walking everywhere. I'm like, Dawn, you're lazy right now? What happened to you? And football? He's like what? I was like, you got a baseball mindset. We ain't sitting out here chewing gum and just chilling. You better start running. So I had to get him back into shape. I got two other kids that are the homies, little friends. Oh man, they twins, and they just don't know which way is up. They're like, uh they some baseball players too, baseball messing my sport up. But I had to sit them down. I said, who's played football before? Stand up? Who's played football before with me? Stand up? Who'll played football before with me and won a championship? Stand up? Then I got them, I said, who's played football before with me? Won a championship this season? Yeah exactly, Sit y'all bus down. Nobody got up. We ain't did anything. I was like, we have not done anything. I had to bite that from Nick Saban, But basically, I'm like, y'all better not come out here thinking y'all good, y'all got this, you better go work for. I said, whatever we get, we're gonna have to work for and then they went out there and had one of those practices that let you know, you gotta work on their mind before it matters. So love to the indy biddies. Wish us well this year where the Jaguars. So, yes, the Jacksonville Jaguars are out there. Let's see if we go get us another one. That would be back to back to back. If we go out there and get another one, we'll see. All let's talk about RG three, who wanted to get another one supposedly in the league. He wanted to go out there for that Jets job. According to a clout chaser and a weasel by the name of mister Grant Paulson, that's what happened on social media. I don't live on the social media streets like I should, but every now and then I catch winning some beef out there, and I caught win of this one. So a story was out there on the Internet claiming that RG three was lobbying for the Jets job to bring them in as a replacement for the injured Aaron Rodgers. Yes, my man, Grant Paulson started that, according to RG three, who then went to social media to kind of straightened the deal out. Now. Grant Paulson is a radio host on the fan and he's responsible. RG three thinks us spread and the rumor. Let's walk through this, so he put it up the clip, and the clip showed that RG three was talking about the subsequent replacements for Aaron Rodgers, and of course his name was mentioned. So then RG three had to go back and say, hey, wait a minute, man, Grant, stop chasing clout, do your job and post a whole clip instead of being a weasel. The point is, Zach Wilson gives the Jets the best chance to win. No one off the street will save the Jets, all right. So Paulson clarified on social media that hey, I ain't create this video, dog, you better chill out. I just retweeted it because I found it funny. That's what we're gonna talk about, all right. So he points out the video originally came from another account, right, some dude by the name of mister Earns ten, whoever that is. Right. So here's the thing that I thought was funny about this story. What's the responsibility of being a person with a platform or just a person forgetting a platform? I think this is funny. See what I'm saying here. A radio host does everything he does in his life have to go through the conduit in the medium and the sensibilities of being a radio host of sports, or can I just be like, damn got RG three slipping. Let me let that go out and just laugh like a normal human being. Reason I brought it up also is because I got caught up in these streets one time when Kwame Brown burst on the scene, Well, nothing's enough and to grab what the whole industry. YE had Stephen A in one hand and he was just having everybody else in the other hand, Matt Barnes my dog and Steven Jackson my dog. Aha, and he was like enough is enough, clashing them heads. And I remember like retweeting. I remember like talking about it like Kwame funny. I had no idea because I never heard Kwame Brown talk like that. So I was just like, I know all those guys, Matt Stacks, Steven A. I wasn't tripping on them. I was like, do he got shots? This is funny? And there was some like back and forth, like yo, Stephen Jackson wasn't happy with me for a second. We had to clarify our stances and situations face to face. Though we did that, did it on air as well, I think, point being, I was like, damn, is there tension over the fact that I'm retweeting something I think it's funny. Have I lost being me as a person because of me as a profession I was like, Oh, hell, noah, that ain't happening on my watch, not to me, no sir, not me. So I had to go out there and just keep retweeting Kwame. I was like, Dog, I like Kwame, He's funny. Oh he's talking about you while you know you my dog? So can I laugh at you? I laugh at you when I tell jokes about you because my jokes are funny and somebody else crack on your ad, I'm gonna laugh at that joke too. So I just don't like this whole sensitive stuff where we get into a place where it's like, dog, don't you try to put me out there? Because everybody trying to protect a brand, your brand food. I don't care about your brand. Hold on, if I got a brand and you got a brand, you think I care about your brand? I don't I care about you. I don't care about no brand. Oh will you try to make me look bad. Well did you look bad? Ma'am? I understand you can't turn a whole interview in a sentence into an interlude, you know what I mean? What Kanye say, don't turn a whole paragraph into an interlud like you know what I mean, Like, don't chop them up like that like they did. But at the same time laugh it off. Like, come on, man, if you ever ever have made it in your life to some place, some status, a goal, you know what comes with that, right you achieving something that others want it or don't have. Therefore, they will take shots at you. And if you return fire, guess who going to jail with them? And guess where the jail is. It's not up it's down there. Man. Stop, Let people take they shops. Man, Let people laugh at you too. I just think it's a better situation. So in this one, I was just gonna look at like RG three came in hot, trying to protect the brand, trying to protect his name. Hey do you bro, I ain't mad at you, but I'm still gonna laugh at your That was a good one right there. So on this case, right here, I rule for Grant Paulson you can retweet what you won't. Don't mean you had to make it if he would have went out there slandered RG three whole different discussion. So what y'all think about individuals working for media outlets? Can they still be who they are? Or do they have to always hide or come into guys of being that brand, that platform? Right? And retweeting retweeting the sin? Now, as a person with a platform, and what strategies you think you can employ it to avoid this conflict? Right? Because I went through it myself, I still don't have a strategy. I'm just gonna laugh at what's funny? That's my strategy. Well, hope we ain't no speed bumps on this street because we getting through it today. Never shut up right here, Project transition dot org or project transition dot org or that way one of them ways. I don't know which way it is. Look at me, I'm getting it's so damn skinny over here. Let me stop playing like it's a blessing. I like being big when you big and you can move. Oh man, physics is on your side. But now I'm over here, eddie biddying right, I got y'all over here, and project transition dot org. If you leave your email, if you leave a donation, if you recurring donations, you will be rewarded. That's right, not only with the reward of helping out the community, the Eddy biddies, but also get gifts and items like that. All right, let's talk about someone who didn't give rewarded. Maybe a couple people, Greg Olsen and mark Ingram the second they got blocked from joining Inside the NFL. Yes, let's talk about NFL Inside the NFL. We know that series. We love that series. I hope we do, because if you don't love that series, like if you don't love NFL Live Inside the NFL, I don't know, we might not be friends. So that's the show that's now on CW that used to be on HBO, Showtime and Paramount Plus blah blah blah. It was hosted by ESPN's Ryan Clark, along with Channon Crowder, Jay Cutler, Chad Johnson, and Chris Long. Now what happened was c W was attempting to get some other analysts in there. Now, I'm not saying that they didn't want two more or did they want too instead of some of the ones that they have y'all know the difference, right, So they were recruiting Greg Olsen and mark Ingram to try and join that staff as well. But at that time, guess what Fox said, No, sir, not us. ESPN said, go ahead, we're opening up our doors. You can have Ryan Clark. Let's see if he can get the opportunity. But Fox said nope, because of the substantial investments that they make in their top talent. So that was their point of view. Upstairs with the executives. They were saying, we pay you all a lot of money and we don't feel the need to have to share you, all right, So Greg Olsen part of Fox's top announcing team right now until obviously when Tom Brady comes back. There's been a lot of converce sa about that. How no matter how well you performed, mister Olson, move over, Bacon, there's something medior, right, So that's gonna be Tom Brady and mark Ingram just joined Fox's big noon kickoff and to the network's talent lineup, all right. So it's funny because in the past ESPN has faced a lot of criticism, even when I worked there, for not allowing this top talent to appear on competitors shows, but that policy all changed, they said in twenty twenty one, long after I'm going because of Pat McAfee right, and said ESPN used to take fire for that, even over spots on competitors radio shows, but reverse that policy in twenty twenty one after Pat McAfee aired his grievances. See I lived through the era of talk blocking, you know, not cock blocker, talk blocking, you know what I mean? They were like, doc, nope, I mean it could be a baby interview. I remember when Max and Marcels we had our radio show. Nope, can't do some other one. I was like, my friend works over there, Fox, my friend works over there, a fan or whatever. I Nope, can't do it. I was like, damn little any bitty like even if it was small, Nope, can't do it. I was like really, And at that time, I was like I want to push back because I was like, all right, this is your business model. I've always believed in, like, if you own it, you can say what you want. If I don't like it, I don't have to do it. And then I mean, I ain't got to work here, you know what I mean? Like, because when I own my employees and the things I do own. I'm like, what, I'm listening, but what like, nah, dog, were going this way and you don't want to go that way. It's there's other ways to go, but you're not going where we're going, then we are going that way. So I always respect the business model. You call me a company man, corporate man, whatever. I also can leave a company incorporated like I've done, right, So I just respect those who own things because I want to be respected as an owner. That was their policy. I was like, all right. I thought it was goofy because I was like, we're missing out on tons across promotion. People know where my house is, they know where my home is. They you know I'm on ESPN, they know I'm on Fox. But if I'm doing something else, isn't that gonna bring that audience attention to where I am on the constant on the daily. I always thought that, So saluke once again to Pat McAfee for making them change their tune. But the up right now, in today's society, you had to change your tune. Ain't no way you're gonna have these borders up anymore. Not what streaming services integrating and interrupting everything. Not with the fact that you got all these big conglomerates and everybody's merging, you can't do it anymore. Plus the talent is like what you're blocking for. It's almost like college sports, like you woke up one day as a talent, like the college athletes did, say why y'all not paying us? You're paying that dude ten million dollars to lose games. M And you know, so the nil is birthed. Well now all open borders except I guess with top talent at Fox. Very interesting, ah man, I got blocked from interviews, I got blocked from doing big shows, even has skin seduling conflicts that were also coinciding with them saying you shouldn't be doing that as well. Let me give y'all one quick story. I got brought in to do a show, American Ninja Warrior. Now I wasn't the first choice. The first choice was sal Masekela. Now he look dug American Ninja Warrior. When you think of him at first, I mean back, what was it five ten years ago? Now I can't think of nothing but ockbarda homie because he all yoked up in the athletic and you know he got that voice, and he got that spirit. He like engaging all that stuff, all the great stuff. That's a great dude. But they brought in sal first. Sal couldn't do it because Salad was just worldwide sal you know, ESPN X gaming everywhere. So then they brought me in and then I was like oh. And then I looked at the travel schedule and I was like, I was like, all right, you know, I ain't have all these indibities. Then I just had the one and you know, and then MJ I was kind of like this, but I was like, it's that sound dope, sound like a big show. But couldn't do it one of me. I can't. I have not been able to do. But what made my decision easy for me was ESPN was like, nah, all the really They were like, nah, Now, if you want to push on it, because it's such a big opportunity, we can discuss that. And if we discuss that, it may be you have to choose. And I was like, I don't want to go down that path because that schedule already look gang related anyway. So uh, nope, nope, nope, couldn't do it. But I've been there before and I just want to see what you guys think about this, because it happens all the time when you don't see your favorite analysts or hosts elsewhere. You know why they don't let them do it all the time. But it's weird because Carisa is on Fox, but Carissa's also on Amazon. But Amazon ain't CW, so they must think ECW is either two beneath them, or they're thinking CW is really a competitor, which I don't mean whatever, but they don't think Amazon's a competitor, or they don't think Amazon is above them or beneath No, they certainly ain't beneath right, So why is Chris is allowed to do it and not them? That's an interesting conversation, So tell me what you think the pros and the cons because I see both sides of this situation, like a lot of things, and y'all start getting mad when I see both sides. You know why, because I'm a human being. I ain't no damn robot out here. Sure I am on the left, I am on the right. No, I actually see both sides in arguments. When I'm winning, I actually see the person that I'm arguing and beaten still has a valid point, I do. It ain't that hard. Like the world is round I square. That's why that means over there I can get there, or over here I can still get there. You know what I mean? Still stop playing, y'all all right, so tell me what ch'all think the pros and cons of this situation is. And would you just rather open borders or did you like the old school model of close borders? I know who doesn't, mister Ingram, mister Olson, Line one and two. Project Transition dot org. I gotta turn it into it like a car commercial Project Transition right here. We got this for you, man. We hooked up our community because our community gets hooked up by you. Everything gets built by the support of all of you guys. And if I want to move many, I whisper to one. I'm talking to you. Log on, leave your email. That's it. How hard is it to leave an email at Project Transition dot org so we could keep you in the loop of all things we're doing. Or you can make a donation. And I'm seeing the donations every single day. For real, I feel like we over here saving kids in Africa or something. The way y'all donate, I appreciate it, but we are saving kids, but they're here in America, in our own backyards. And if you really want to make me happy, and you really want to get hooked up, leave a recurring donation. And I see you guys out there doing that. I appreciate it. It could be any amount. I don't care. And then I care about this Jersey, but I care more if you're able to represent it. All right. Let's about Roger Goodell, who's trying to represent all of the owners, all of the players and has mixed emotions and opinions on grass versus turf fields. Well, let me unmix his mixed emotions and feelings and opinions on this because I know which one I prefer. But I'm gonna save that, all right. So Commissioner Roger Goodell responded to the players complaints about turf fields, obviously after Aaron Rodgers went down with the season ending achilles injury, which I've suffered before as well, not on turf and not on grass either. I talk about that later. He emphasized the importance of relying on science and injury data went evaluating field services. Now, I don't think that should be the only thing we respect. I don't want to respect just the data, not just the data. Of course, start with the data, start with that and the science, but also my preference, like, ain't no data to tell me what I like? You know what I mean? You know what I like? Ask me, I'll tell you, all right. So Goddell acknowledged the opinions on both sides. He said, some players like the turf because they like the speed. Some players like the grass because their concerns about safety. All right, So it's like Ferrari's verse versus four by four monster trucks. You know what I mean, people who like to go downhill rough and rugged. They got fat ankles, and you know they got low calves. They like grass, them high calves, them skinny ankles, them bow leggeds. Oh they love that turf. Let me go bone out on these dudes, right, kind of generalizing, but it just goes that way. So we all saw what happened. David BACTI shout out to him, and shout out to his wife, my tennis partner, who haven't seeing in over a year because I ain't. I stopped going to tennis after my car accident. But shout out to y'all. Man. They used to show up to our tennis all the time. She an athlete for real, real, I ain't know all that volleyball player coming in there six feet ya, all right, So now then my back start hurting, so I couldn't go anymore. He obviously posted on it as well. Reacting to Aaron Rodgers' injury, NFL PA executive director Lloyd Howe issued a statement advocating for all teams to use natural grass instead of turf. So now everyone's champion. Let's go grass. Let's go grass, all right. So the players express their preference over grass for years, right, they want grass over turf. A lot of players, not all. A lot of players in the league has all the data and the letters and the tweets like from David Bacti alread's showing all that. So among the thirty two NFL teams, fourteen used artificial turf, and two teams, the Packers and Eagles, use a combination of turf and real grass. All right. So that's where we are with this situation. Goodell says, we're gonna have to look at everything before we make a decision, but we're considering all options, all right. So here's the thing. Let me tell everybody I played on both. There's no conversation to be had for me. I want turf. Why do I want turf? It's just a simple here's the equation. Everyone's talking about performance and everyone's talking about safety. That's it. The only two lanes that matter performance, safety and performance is clear. I can perform better on turf, right, all right, So turf wins, meaning safety. Everyone is saying, ooh, grass wins and safety. Oh doesn't you get hurt playing on grass and you get hurt playing on turf? You get hurt less on grass, but you're still gonna get hurt. Why? Because football hurts. So while I know no matter what surface I could get hurt, I might as well, in the process perform my best. Why Because I'm in a business that gets graded, that gets judged, that gets rewarded based on performance. Right, So if I'm gonna get hurt either way, might's well give myself the best chance to perform. There's a similar question to me. I understand, like, oh, oh, your cargould go two hundred miles an hour on this surface, but it could go one eighty over here. I'm like, can they crash in both? Yeah, they could crash over here and over there. Yeah, I want to go two hundred yay, all these one and done. Oh now you can't do that football, But college football, I mean, what is going on in college taste? These kids like it's isolating variables, right, So I understand, man, get your degree. You can perform better here, but you're gonna get hurt both places. A let's just go with the performance. That's how I look at it. So Roger Goodell call me next time. I can help you. You don't need no more data. You don't need any more of this intel and I could consider all options and grasps and turf them, and y'all need no more tweets read. Just ask me and I could tell you I had that same achilles injury as Aaron Rodgers. Trust me, we're gonna talk about that going forward. I'll let you know that entire process. But on this one, it's pretty simple. And y'all tell me what y'all think. Should the NFL players have their way most of them and switch to all grass? Y'all want to see all grass? Do y'all even care you're like DoD we don't play it's turf grass whatever. As long as y'all happy, go have fun? Right So where you guys on this conversation? And I wonder how the teams in the league is gonna figure this out. What they didn't talk about is how a cost effective turf versus grass in That's a little boring of a conversation. I won't take you down that road, but that is something to consider the cost of watering that grass and maintaining it versus the cost of that turf which also still needs maintenance. Quiet has kept. Let's talk about that another time, not right now. Project Transition dot Org. We love you guys. We support you guys as you support what we're doing in our efforts in the community to discover develop that inner power within and amplify it for the world to see. Unlock that potential you possessed. Yes, we are going to all those in the community to help them out. And while you help us out, what's your email, your donation and recurrent donations. We take care of you with items like that. We got Linel Richie tickets going out tomorrow. We're gonna see who those lucky winners are. Could be you, especially if you're in the LA area. Make sure you log going all right, Let's talk about Aaron Rodgers, who is heartbroken over his achilles tear. In wake of that, he is feeling it, and I feel for him as well, because all that height, all that hoopla, all that climbing up to read the playing our flag. He ran out with the flag. It was dope nine to eleven. Damn, Aaron Rodgers gonna snipe that the four plays only four plays. So he talks about it, and he says, look, in this situation, the night is darkest before the dawn, and I shall rise yet again. And then he said, all right, since I ain't playing football this year, I'm in the next Batman movie. With that damn quote. What the hell, No, it's real, he right. I mean right behind that darkness is that light. Right behind that defeat is that victory. So I get it everyone around. I ain't even gonna bore y'all with everybody's talking about, Oh, Aaron Rodgers, I doubt he's gonna stop playing and ow you will come back. I'll be shocked if this is the way he's going to go out. Everybody said that boring, boring, boring. Let's tell let's take y'all through what Aaron Rodgers is going through and I think I'm well versed in this because I tore my achilles and it feels like ten years ago. Now. First thing that happens when you tell your achilles, you're stressing the hell out the back of your leg whatever you're doing, and it may be to you routine, but it may be because of your age, wearing tear, or sometimes just the angle of what you're doing. And in this situation, we saw Aaron Rodgers getting tackled down and that angle of your eye right there, and that's the achilles, aye, that stretch. Same thing happened to me. I was doing something running on an incline and my leg was like in that position I and the first thing you hear, but is that seriously Like, I'm not lying, it's an internal shotgun. I'm not lying. Now there's videos out there of Aaron Rodgers and his calf just doing this, because what happen this is that band that achilles tendon all of a sudden snaps. Imagine your foot all the way up your back of your leg. Just what's connecting that and making it go and supporting it? Why? And you hear it and then you're look around because you've never heard that before. You heard it outside, you heard gunshots before. Unfortunately, you've heard cars backfire before. I've been in cars backfire, like man, what's up? Were filming colors over here? What's up? Coutripping? Hey? Blood? And you know what I mean. So I've been there before, but never in an internal I'm not lying. I looked around. Then you look down, and then something told me, probably told Aaron Rodgers, moll your foot just moving, and you go like this, I'm not lying. The second before, you could do this all day, right, and then you say, moll, your foot, move your foot move all you sending the signal head o leg flat lines, You're like, you know it. Now you could go through mri eyes. You can go through the trainer doing this push back trainer like push back. You're doing this, he said, push harder. Now. Before that, you could have did this all day, he said push nothing all right. So then after that, obviously you gotta figure out when you gonna have the surgery inflammation, let it go down. There's one thing about the achilles. It's debilitating, but it doesn't hurt as bad as you think. As graphic as that sounded, and as it's cruciating as if if it sounds like it doesn't hurt. Like in the scale of injuries of pain, it's like a five, But in terms of what you're gonna be able to do while hurting debilitating, it is eleven. It is off the charts. It's weird. Other injuries hurt more, but you can recover faster from all right, so you're not that much pain. And you remember when Kobe Bryant tore his achilles and went to the free throw line. Everybody was like, oh, brave here roic and I was as well, except I've been through that injury and I knew that it didn't hurt that bad. So Kobe's not in pain. I think a lot of people are like, yo, he's in pain, and he's shooting free throws and making them. I was like, now, you're not in pain. He just ain't got no foot, he ain't got no lag anymore. It's a different animal. So from there you go through the rehab. The rehab is demanding. My recommendation to all whoever have to go through this, get a get a bucket of marbles, right, have it in an enclosed space and just pour them on the ground and just start sitting in a chair grabbing marbles. You gotta just grab marbles with your toes. You gotta get this back. You gotta get that gripper back on your bottom of your feet right, and then that works your calves and it gets your all lower legs strong again. You gotta connect that after the surgery. Do that. Another thing to wear thong sandals. Watch Aaron Rodgers videos. Hopefully he's wearing thong sandals. Send him this video where you know the ones that surfers like to wear them like throng ones, because then you gotta take that step and ground, not flip flops, not the ones that's fat at the bottom. And then there's got that big old igloo on top. Not that one I'm talking about thong. I'm talking about Brazilian baby. Right here. You got a grip and other than that massage, I mean, beat it up. Beat it up because that scar tissue is gonna be immense a lot of it because that tendon was so strong. Look how big you are, and your whole body connects to the world, to gravity, to your foot and something was keeping it together for years thirty eight thirty nine years. Aaron Rodgers and then it says snap. Right, So then when your body's healing, it scar tissue alert. Gotta break that up. So Aaron Rodger's gonna be fine because look, the technology now, the science is a whole different even from when I tore mind, it's much better. Right now, they'll get them back. Guys have returned from it. Kevin Durant obviously is one of the guys. But point being, I'm looking at him right now. He's coming back. He's on the books in terms of contract, he's on the books in terms of what they're gonna pay him. All of that has been handled. Now we just gotta get that mind back and that body back. Aaron Rodgers, one of the greatest of all time, will be back. Just wanted you guys to get a little update on that so you can know what my man is really feeling. All right, let's full up some comments, funk up some comments. Yet, we got a little mel Tucker in the house. And I want to show you this one because I got a boy and I ain't gonna out him coming protect her guilty. But boy is he knows Brenda Tracy, and he ain't feeling nothing she's saying. He sent me this, and I was like, whoa, Now this is from last year in August. Remember she brought off the complaint in December. Listen to this, this about Mel Tucker. Disappointed that my calendar is empty this year for fall college football camps. My sincere hope is that coaches are bringing in other speakers or are addressing issues of gender based violence directly with their players. Set the expectation. Look, Mail Tucker, if you did it, you did it, and you didn't you didn't, but give yourself the best chance, fighting chance. You're going against the institution, You're going against the narrative. You're going against somebody that obviously is not telling the full story because you took over twenty some calls for over thirty minutes with somebody at twelve thirty in the morning. Also and then you say comments like you disappointed and man that you ain't got no damn job, and then all of a sudden the man is having phone sex with you and you're shocked on the phone. You can't hang up the phone, you don't record it. Just give yourself a fighting chance. If you're Mail Tucker right now, I'm looking at Brenda Tracy a little side eye right now my boy sent me that one because he knows her. And he was like, Dawn, Uh, don't believe her. And I was like, really, why give me some receipts. See, I'm a good person, I'm objective. I'm like, I don't believe her, but I don't have enough evidence to say I don't. Why don't you believe her? Oh? Because I met her? I was like, oh, And he said I know. I said, Oh, didn't he send me this? I said, ooh, So take it where you want to take it? All right, here's go. What else we got here? We got TKO? No, we got one more from them. Now, ain't gonna do no more of that. I'm tired of that TKO merger. So is it going to be fake fighting or real wrestling? Y'all stupid? All I know is gonna be real big? How about that? All right, let's talk about this Goodell lawsuit right here. I remember him asking Goodell all those questions back to back about diversity in the staff and press room, and Goodell getting mad at him. Then I don't remember hearing anything else from him. Read no articles of hearing any coverage. So I think they'll settle. They know he's right and has a case. All right, interesting, Yeah, that could be your selective perception as well. But also they could have silenced my dog. All right, let's talk about k JP getting arrested. This is crazy. He should be in jail for attempted murder. I don't want to hear anything about concussions because if that's the case, teen doctor need to go to jail for allowing him to continue to play. Thank you for reporting on this story. Yeah, I mean forget. We always say if it was my daughter and my wife, it ain't gotta be my daughter my wife. You broke somebody's necks choking him, and I hate to be the guy that's like, you could have choked her without breaking the neck. It should be the same, but it's not. Because you went to the extent where that's the response, that's the result. All I'm saying is I don't want to see him play basketball. I don't know when, if ever, I can't see it put its way. As far as I can see, he should be on no court. Hell oh, all right, y'all know how we finished every show we finished with the WI League is them? Yeah, to say goodbye is to never leave. I forget. I want to say Bruce Smith, but it wasn't him. So one of those vets in Buffalo told me that one time when I was at a party and I was like, all right, man, I'm about to go, and I'm about to go. All right, man, I'll be right back. I'm just gonna say goodbye to everybody, all right, big dog, I see hey tomorrow. Practice okay, y'all good? All right, man, how are you gonna get home? You're good? And then he was like, hey, why they come here? He said the say goodbyes that never leave. He said just go, and I was like what And I watched him disappear into the dark of night. And since that moment, unless I'm with my wife and she got a say goodbye to everybody, including the people who set the party up, I am out. You see me? You want to know when I'm gone. When you don't see me, you ain't gonna know from me to say goodbyes, to never leave. You be in there doing all right? What's up? You're gonna call? I text you tomorrow? All right? What you doing? You pick a ball? All right? With the game? O? Okay, man, Look, so just remember that man in your social settings. Man I was dying when he did that. He was like, oh, the say goodbyes, never leave And I was like, where you go? Where you go? Bruce? He was out of there. So just remember that next time y'all out dip on your boys. It don't matter, they'd be good. To say goodbye is to never leave, all right, y'all got to do it for More to It. Take the show notes for all the information on our topics today.

Please log on a Project Transition dot or Now what happened yesterday after the show? Football practice? Had to send the kids down. Man. They get out out of shape. Their minds are out of shape, so far out of shape, their bodies whatever. They're eight years old, who cares? They don't even to stretch and they run a forty, but their minds gone playing all these other sports. Baseball, my baseball player kid walking everywhere. I'm like, Dawn, you're lazy right now? What happened to you? And football? He's like what? I was like, you got a baseball mindset. We ain't sitting out here chewing gum and just chilling. You better start running. So I had to get him back into shape. I got two other kids that are the homies, little friends. Oh man, they twins, and they just don't know which way is up. They're like, uh they some baseball players too, baseball messing my sport up. But I had to sit them down. I said, who's played football before? Stand up? Who's played football before with me? Stand up? Who'll played football before with me and won a championship? Stand up? Then I got them, I said, who's played football before with me? Won a championship this season? Yeah exactly, Sit y'all bus down. Nobody got up. We ain't did anything. I was like, we have not done anything. I had to bite that from Nick Saban, But basically, I'm like, y'all better not come out here thinking y'all good, y'all got this, you better go work for. I said, whatever we get, we're gonna have to work for and then they went out there and had one of those practices that let you know, you gotta work on their mind before it matters. So love to the indy biddies. Wish us well this year where the Jaguars. So, yes, the Jacksonville Jaguars are out there. Let's see if we go get us another one. That would be back to back to back. If we go out there and get another one, we'll see. All let's talk about RG three, who wanted to get another one supposedly in the league. He wanted to go out there for that Jets job. According to a clout chaser and a weasel by the name of mister Grant Paulson, that's what happened on social media. I don't live on the social media streets like I should, but every now and then I catch winning some beef out there, and I caught win of this one. So a story was out there on the Internet claiming that RG three was lobbying for the Jets job to bring them in as a replacement for the injured Aaron Rodgers. Yes, my man, Grant Paulson started that, according to RG three, who then went to social media to kind of straightened the deal out. Now. Grant Paulson is a radio host on the fan and he's responsible. RG three thinks us spread and the rumor. Let's walk through this, so he put it up the clip, and the clip showed that RG three was talking about the subsequent replacements for Aaron Rodgers, and of course his name was mentioned. So then RG three had to go back and say, hey, wait a minute, man, Grant, stop chasing clout, do your job and post a whole clip instead of being a weasel. The point is, Zach Wilson gives the Jets the best chance to win. No one off the street will save the Jets, all right. So Paulson clarified on social media that hey, I ain't create this video, dog, you better chill out. I just retweeted it because I found it funny. That's what we're gonna talk about, all right. So he points out the video originally came from another account, right, some dude by the name of mister Earns ten, whoever that is. Right. So here's the thing that I thought was funny about this story. What's the responsibility of being a person with a platform or just a person forgetting a platform? I think this is funny. See what I'm saying here. A radio host does everything he does in his life have to go through the conduit in the medium and the sensibilities of being a radio host of sports, or can I just be like, damn got RG three slipping. Let me let that go out and just laugh like a normal human being. Reason I brought it up also is because I got caught up in these streets one time when Kwame Brown burst on the scene, Well, nothing's enough and to grab what the whole industry. YE had Stephen A in one hand and he was just having everybody else in the other hand, Matt Barnes my dog and Steven Jackson my dog. Aha, and he was like enough is enough, clashing them heads. And I remember like retweeting. I remember like talking about it like Kwame funny. I had no idea because I never heard Kwame Brown talk like that. So I was just like, I know all those guys, Matt Stacks, Steven A. I wasn't tripping on them. I was like, do he got shots? This is funny? And there was some like back and forth, like yo, Stephen Jackson wasn't happy with me for a second. We had to clarify our stances and situations face to face. Though we did that, did it on air as well, I think, point being, I was like, damn, is there tension over the fact that I'm retweeting something I think it's funny. Have I lost being me as a person because of me as a profession I was like, Oh, hell, noah, that ain't happening on my watch, not to me, no sir, not me. So I had to go out there and just keep retweeting Kwame. I was like, Dog, I like Kwame, He's funny. Oh he's talking about you while you know you my dog? So can I laugh at you? I laugh at you when I tell jokes about you because my jokes are funny and somebody else crack on your ad, I'm gonna laugh at that joke too. So I just don't like this whole sensitive stuff where we get into a place where it's like, dog, don't you try to put me out there? Because everybody trying to protect a brand, your brand food. I don't care about your brand. Hold on, if I got a brand and you got a brand, you think I care about your brand? I don't I care about you. I don't care about no brand. Oh will you try to make me look bad. Well did you look bad? Ma'am? I understand you can't turn a whole interview in a sentence into an interlude, you know what I mean? What Kanye say, don't turn a whole paragraph into an interlud like you know what I mean, Like, don't chop them up like that like they did. But at the same time laugh it off. Like, come on, man, if you ever ever have made it in your life to some place, some status, a goal, you know what comes with that, right you achieving something that others want it or don't have. Therefore, they will take shots at you. And if you return fire, guess who going to jail with them? And guess where the jail is. It's not up it's down there. Man. Stop, Let people take they shops. Man, Let people laugh at you too. I just think it's a better situation. So in this one, I was just gonna look at like RG three came in hot, trying to protect the brand, trying to protect his name. Hey do you bro, I ain't mad at you, but I'm still gonna laugh at your That was a good one right there. So on this case, right here, I rule for Grant Paulson you can retweet what you won't. Don't mean you had to make it if he would have went out there slandered RG three whole different discussion. So what y'all think about individuals working for media outlets? Can they still be who they are? Or do they have to always hide or come into guys of being that brand, that platform? Right? And retweeting retweeting the sin? Now, as a person with a platform, and what strategies you think you can employ it to avoid this conflict? Right? Because I went through it myself, I still don't have a strategy. I'm just gonna laugh at what's funny? That's my strategy. Well, hope we ain't no speed bumps on this street because we getting through it today. Never shut up right here, Project transition dot org or project transition dot org or that way one of them ways. I don't know which way it is. Look at me, I'm getting it's so damn skinny over here. Let me stop playing like it's a blessing. I like being big when you big and you can move. Oh man, physics is on your side. But now I'm over here, eddie biddying right, I got y'all over here, and project transition dot org. If you leave your email, if you leave a donation, if you recurring donations, you will be rewarded. That's right, not only with the reward of helping out the community, the Eddy biddies, but also get gifts and items like that. All right, let's talk about someone who didn't give rewarded. Maybe a couple people, Greg Olsen and mark Ingram the second they got blocked from joining Inside the NFL. Yes, let's talk about NFL Inside the NFL. We know that series. We love that series. I hope we do, because if you don't love that series, like if you don't love NFL Live Inside the NFL, I don't know, we might not be friends. So that's the show that's now on CW that used to be on HBO, Showtime and Paramount Plus blah blah blah. It was hosted by ESPN's Ryan Clark, along with Channon Crowder, Jay Cutler, Chad Johnson, and Chris Long. Now what happened was c W was attempting to get some other analysts in there. Now, I'm not saying that they didn't want two more or did they want too instead of some of the ones that they have y'all know the difference, right, So they were recruiting Greg Olsen and mark Ingram to try and join that staff as well. But at that time, guess what Fox said, No, sir, not us. ESPN said, go ahead, we're opening up our doors. You can have Ryan Clark. Let's see if he can get the opportunity. But Fox said nope, because of the substantial investments that they make in their top talent. So that was their point of view. Upstairs with the executives. They were saying, we pay you all a lot of money and we don't feel the need to have to share you, all right, So Greg Olsen part of Fox's top announcing team right now until obviously when Tom Brady comes back. There's been a lot of converce sa about that. How no matter how well you performed, mister Olson, move over, Bacon, there's something medior, right, So that's gonna be Tom Brady and mark Ingram just joined Fox's big noon kickoff and to the network's talent lineup, all right. So it's funny because in the past ESPN has faced a lot of criticism, even when I worked there, for not allowing this top talent to appear on competitors shows, but that policy all changed, they said in twenty twenty one, long after I'm going because of Pat McAfee right, and said ESPN used to take fire for that, even over spots on competitors radio shows, but reverse that policy in twenty twenty one after Pat McAfee aired his grievances. See I lived through the era of talk blocking, you know, not cock blocker, talk blocking, you know what I mean? They were like, doc, nope, I mean it could be a baby interview. I remember when Max and Marcels we had our radio show. Nope, can't do some other one. I was like, my friend works over there, Fox, my friend works over there, a fan or whatever. I Nope, can't do it. I was like, damn little any bitty like even if it was small, Nope, can't do it. I was like really, And at that time, I was like I want to push back because I was like, all right, this is your business model. I've always believed in, like, if you own it, you can say what you want. If I don't like it, I don't have to do it. And then I mean, I ain't got to work here, you know what I mean? Like, because when I own my employees and the things I do own. I'm like, what, I'm listening, but what like, nah, dog, were going this way and you don't want to go that way. It's there's other ways to go, but you're not going where we're going, then we are going that way. So I always respect the business model. You call me a company man, corporate man, whatever. I also can leave a company incorporated like I've done, right, So I just respect those who own things because I want to be respected as an owner. That was their policy. I was like, all right. I thought it was goofy because I was like, we're missing out on tons across promotion. People know where my house is, they know where my home is. They you know I'm on ESPN, they know I'm on Fox. But if I'm doing something else, isn't that gonna bring that audience attention to where I am on the constant on the daily. I always thought that, So saluke once again to Pat McAfee for making them change their tune. But the up right now, in today's society, you had to change your tune. Ain't no way you're gonna have these borders up anymore. Not what streaming services integrating and interrupting everything. Not with the fact that you got all these big conglomerates and everybody's merging, you can't do it anymore. Plus the talent is like what you're blocking for. It's almost like college sports, like you woke up one day as a talent, like the college athletes did, say why y'all not paying us? You're paying that dude ten million dollars to lose games. M And you know, so the nil is birthed. Well now all open borders except I guess with top talent at Fox. Very interesting, ah man, I got blocked from interviews, I got blocked from doing big shows, even has skin seduling conflicts that were also coinciding with them saying you shouldn't be doing that as well. Let me give y'all one quick story. I got brought in to do a show, American Ninja Warrior. Now I wasn't the first choice. The first choice was sal Masekela. Now he look dug American Ninja Warrior. When you think of him at first, I mean back, what was it five ten years ago? Now I can't think of nothing but ockbarda homie because he all yoked up in the athletic and you know he got that voice, and he got that spirit. He like engaging all that stuff, all the great stuff. That's a great dude. But they brought in sal first. Sal couldn't do it because Salad was just worldwide sal you know, ESPN X gaming everywhere. So then they brought me in and then I was like oh. And then I looked at the travel schedule and I was like, I was like, all right, you know, I ain't have all these indibities. Then I just had the one and you know, and then MJ I was kind of like this, but I was like, it's that sound dope, sound like a big show. But couldn't do it one of me. I can't. I have not been able to do. But what made my decision easy for me was ESPN was like, nah, all the really They were like, nah, Now, if you want to push on it, because it's such a big opportunity, we can discuss that. And if we discuss that, it may be you have to choose. And I was like, I don't want to go down that path because that schedule already look gang related anyway. So uh, nope, nope, nope, couldn't do it. But I've been there before and I just want to see what you guys think about this, because it happens all the time when you don't see your favorite analysts or hosts elsewhere. You know why they don't let them do it all the time. But it's weird because Carisa is on Fox, but Carissa's also on Amazon. But Amazon ain't CW, so they must think ECW is either two beneath them, or they're thinking CW is really a competitor, which I don't mean whatever, but they don't think Amazon's a competitor, or they don't think Amazon is above them or beneath No, they certainly ain't beneath right, So why is Chris is allowed to do it and not them? That's an interesting conversation, So tell me what you think the pros and the cons because I see both sides of this situation, like a lot of things, and y'all start getting mad when I see both sides. You know why, because I'm a human being. I ain't no damn robot out here. Sure I am on the left, I am on the right. No, I actually see both sides in arguments. When I'm winning, I actually see the person that I'm arguing and beaten still has a valid point, I do. It ain't that hard. Like the world is round I square. That's why that means over there I can get there, or over here I can still get there. You know what I mean? Still stop playing, y'all all right, so tell me what ch'all think the pros and cons of this situation is. And would you just rather open borders or did you like the old school model of close borders? I know who doesn't, mister Ingram, mister Olson, Line one and two. Project Transition dot org. I gotta turn it into it like a car commercial Project Transition right here. We got this for you, man. We hooked up our community because our community gets hooked up by you. Everything gets built by the support of all of you guys. And if I want to move many, I whisper to one. I'm talking to you. Log on, leave your email. That's it. How hard is it to leave an email at Project Transition dot org so we could keep you in the loop of all things we're doing. Or you can make a donation. And I'm seeing the donations every single day. For real, I feel like we over here saving kids in Africa or something. The way y'all donate, I appreciate it, but we are saving kids, but they're here in America, in our own backyards. And if you really want to make me happy, and you really want to get hooked up, leave a recurring donation. And I see you guys out there doing that. I appreciate it. It could be any amount. I don't care. And then I care about this Jersey, but I care more if you're able to represent it. All right. Let's about Roger Goodell, who's trying to represent all of the owners, all of the players and has mixed emotions and opinions on grass versus turf fields. Well, let me unmix his mixed emotions and feelings and opinions on this because I know which one I prefer. But I'm gonna save that, all right. So Commissioner Roger Goodell responded to the players complaints about turf fields, obviously after Aaron Rodgers went down with the season ending achilles injury, which I've suffered before as well, not on turf and not on grass either. I talk about that later. He emphasized the importance of relying on science and injury data went evaluating field services. Now, I don't think that should be the only thing we respect. I don't want to respect just the data, not just the data. Of course, start with the data, start with that and the science, but also my preference, like, ain't no data to tell me what I like? You know what I mean? You know what I like? Ask me, I'll tell you, all right. So Goddell acknowledged the opinions on both sides. He said, some players like the turf because they like the speed. Some players like the grass because their concerns about safety. All right, So it's like Ferrari's verse versus four by four monster trucks. You know what I mean, people who like to go downhill rough and rugged. They got fat ankles, and you know they got low calves. They like grass, them high calves, them skinny ankles, them bow leggeds. Oh they love that turf. Let me go bone out on these dudes, right, kind of generalizing, but it just goes that way. So we all saw what happened. David BACTI shout out to him, and shout out to his wife, my tennis partner, who haven't seeing in over a year because I ain't. I stopped going to tennis after my car accident. But shout out to y'all. Man. They used to show up to our tennis all the time. She an athlete for real, real, I ain't know all that volleyball player coming in there six feet ya, all right, So now then my back start hurting, so I couldn't go anymore. He obviously posted on it as well. Reacting to Aaron Rodgers' injury, NFL PA executive director Lloyd Howe issued a statement advocating for all teams to use natural grass instead of turf. So now everyone's champion. Let's go grass. Let's go grass, all right. So the players express their preference over grass for years, right, they want grass over turf. A lot of players, not all. A lot of players in the league has all the data and the letters and the tweets like from David Bacti alread's showing all that. So among the thirty two NFL teams, fourteen used artificial turf, and two teams, the Packers and Eagles, use a combination of turf and real grass. All right. So that's where we are with this situation. Goodell says, we're gonna have to look at everything before we make a decision, but we're considering all options, all right. So here's the thing. Let me tell everybody I played on both. There's no conversation to be had for me. I want turf. Why do I want turf? It's just a simple here's the equation. Everyone's talking about performance and everyone's talking about safety. That's it. The only two lanes that matter performance, safety and performance is clear. I can perform better on turf, right, all right, So turf wins, meaning safety. Everyone is saying, ooh, grass wins and safety. Oh doesn't you get hurt playing on grass and you get hurt playing on turf? You get hurt less on grass, but you're still gonna get hurt. Why? Because football hurts. So while I know no matter what surface I could get hurt, I might as well, in the process perform my best. Why Because I'm in a business that gets graded, that gets judged, that gets rewarded based on performance. Right, So if I'm gonna get hurt either way, might's well give myself the best chance to perform. There's a similar question to me. I understand, like, oh, oh, your cargould go two hundred miles an hour on this surface, but it could go one eighty over here. I'm like, can they crash in both? Yeah, they could crash over here and over there. Yeah, I want to go two hundred yay, all these one and done. Oh now you can't do that football, But college football, I mean, what is going on in college taste? These kids like it's isolating variables, right, So I understand, man, get your degree. You can perform better here, but you're gonna get hurt both places. A let's just go with the performance. That's how I look at it. So Roger Goodell call me next time. I can help you. You don't need no more data. You don't need any more of this intel and I could consider all options and grasps and turf them, and y'all need no more tweets read. Just ask me and I could tell you I had that same achilles injury as Aaron Rodgers. Trust me, we're gonna talk about that going forward. I'll let you know that entire process. But on this one, it's pretty simple. And y'all tell me what y'all think. Should the NFL players have their way most of them and switch to all grass? Y'all want to see all grass? Do y'all even care you're like DoD we don't play it's turf grass whatever. As long as y'all happy, go have fun? Right So where you guys on this conversation? And I wonder how the teams in the league is gonna figure this out. What they didn't talk about is how a cost effective turf versus grass in That's a little boring of a conversation. I won't take you down that road, but that is something to consider the cost of watering that grass and maintaining it versus the cost of that turf which also still needs maintenance. Quiet has kept. Let's talk about that another time, not right now. Project Transition dot Org. We love you guys. We support you guys as you support what we're doing in our efforts in the community to discover develop that inner power within and amplify it for the world to see. Unlock that potential you possessed. Yes, we are going to all those in the community to help them out. And while you help us out, what's your email, your donation and recurrent donations. We take care of you with items like that. We got Linel Richie tickets going out tomorrow. We're gonna see who those lucky winners are. Could be you, especially if you're in the LA area. Make sure you log going all right, Let's talk about Aaron Rodgers, who is heartbroken over his achilles tear. In wake of that, he is feeling it, and I feel for him as well, because all that height, all that hoopla, all that climbing up to read the playing our flag. He ran out with the flag. It was dope nine to eleven. Damn, Aaron Rodgers gonna snipe that the four plays only four plays. So he talks about it, and he says, look, in this situation, the night is darkest before the dawn, and I shall rise yet again. And then he said, all right, since I ain't playing football this year, I'm in the next Batman movie. With that damn quote. What the hell, No, it's real, he right. I mean right behind that darkness is that light. Right behind that defeat is that victory. So I get it everyone around. I ain't even gonna bore y'all with everybody's talking about, Oh, Aaron Rodgers, I doubt he's gonna stop playing and ow you will come back. I'll be shocked if this is the way he's going to go out. Everybody said that boring, boring, boring. Let's tell let's take y'all through what Aaron Rodgers is going through and I think I'm well versed in this because I tore my achilles and it feels like ten years ago. Now. First thing that happens when you tell your achilles, you're stressing the hell out the back of your leg whatever you're doing, and it may be to you routine, but it may be because of your age, wearing tear, or sometimes just the angle of what you're doing. And in this situation, we saw Aaron Rodgers getting tackled down and that angle of your eye right there, and that's the achilles, aye, that stretch. Same thing happened to me. I was doing something running on an incline and my leg was like in that position I and the first thing you hear, but is that seriously Like, I'm not lying, it's an internal shotgun. I'm not lying. Now there's videos out there of Aaron Rodgers and his calf just doing this, because what happen this is that band that achilles tendon all of a sudden snaps. Imagine your foot all the way up your back of your leg. Just what's connecting that and making it go and supporting it? Why? And you hear it and then you're look around because you've never heard that before. You heard it outside, you heard gunshots before. Unfortunately, you've heard cars backfire before. I've been in cars backfire, like man, what's up? Were filming colors over here? What's up? Coutripping? Hey? Blood? And you know what I mean. So I've been there before, but never in an internal I'm not lying. I looked around. Then you look down, and then something told me, probably told Aaron Rodgers, moll your foot just moving, and you go like this, I'm not lying. The second before, you could do this all day, right, and then you say, moll, your foot, move your foot move all you sending the signal head o leg flat lines, You're like, you know it. Now you could go through mri eyes. You can go through the trainer doing this push back trainer like push back. You're doing this, he said, push harder. Now. Before that, you could have did this all day, he said push nothing all right. So then after that, obviously you gotta figure out when you gonna have the surgery inflammation, let it go down. There's one thing about the achilles. It's debilitating, but it doesn't hurt as bad as you think. As graphic as that sounded, and as it's cruciating as if if it sounds like it doesn't hurt. Like in the scale of injuries of pain, it's like a five, But in terms of what you're gonna be able to do while hurting debilitating, it is eleven. It is off the charts. It's weird. Other injuries hurt more, but you can recover faster from all right, so you're not that much pain. And you remember when Kobe Bryant tore his achilles and went to the free throw line. Everybody was like, oh, brave here roic and I was as well, except I've been through that injury and I knew that it didn't hurt that bad. So Kobe's not in pain. I think a lot of people are like, yo, he's in pain, and he's shooting free throws and making them. I was like, now, you're not in pain. He just ain't got no foot, he ain't got no lag anymore. It's a different animal. So from there you go through the rehab. The rehab is demanding. My recommendation to all whoever have to go through this, get a get a bucket of marbles, right, have it in an enclosed space and just pour them on the ground and just start sitting in a chair grabbing marbles. You gotta just grab marbles with your toes. You gotta get this back. You gotta get that gripper back on your bottom of your feet right, and then that works your calves and it gets your all lower legs strong again. You gotta connect that after the surgery. Do that. Another thing to wear thong sandals. Watch Aaron Rodgers videos. Hopefully he's wearing thong sandals. Send him this video where you know the ones that surfers like to wear them like throng ones, because then you gotta take that step and ground, not flip flops, not the ones that's fat at the bottom. And then there's got that big old igloo on top. Not that one I'm talking about thong. I'm talking about Brazilian baby. Right here. You got a grip and other than that massage, I mean, beat it up. Beat it up because that scar tissue is gonna be immense a lot of it because that tendon was so strong. Look how big you are, and your whole body connects to the world, to gravity, to your foot and something was keeping it together for years thirty eight thirty nine years. Aaron Rodgers and then it says snap. Right, So then when your body's healing, it scar tissue alert. Gotta break that up. So Aaron Rodger's gonna be fine because look, the technology now, the science is a whole different even from when I tore mind, it's much better. Right now, they'll get them back. Guys have returned from it. Kevin Durant obviously is one of the guys. But point being, I'm looking at him right now. He's coming back. He's on the books in terms of contract, he's on the books in terms of what they're gonna pay him. All of that has been handled. Now we just gotta get that mind back and that body back. Aaron Rodgers, one of the greatest of all time, will be back. Just wanted you guys to get a little update on that so you can know what my man is really feeling. All right, let's full up some comments, funk up some comments. Yet, we got a little mel Tucker in the house. And I want to show you this one because I got a boy and I ain't gonna out him coming protect her guilty. But boy is he knows Brenda Tracy, and he ain't feeling nothing she's saying. He sent me this, and I was like, whoa, Now this is from last year in August. Remember she brought off the complaint in December. Listen to this, this about Mel Tucker. Disappointed that my calendar is empty this year for fall college football camps. My sincere hope is that coaches are bringing in other speakers or are addressing issues of gender based violence directly with their players. Set the expectation. Look, Mail Tucker, if you did it, you did it, and you didn't you didn't, but give yourself the best chance, fighting chance. You're going against the institution, You're going against the narrative. You're going against somebody that obviously is not telling the full story because you took over twenty some calls for over thirty minutes with somebody at twelve thirty in the morning. Also and then you say comments like you disappointed and man that you ain't got no damn job, and then all of a sudden the man is having phone sex with you and you're shocked on the phone. You can't hang up the phone, you don't record it. Just give yourself a fighting chance. If you're Mail Tucker right now, I'm looking at Brenda Tracy a little side eye right now my boy sent me that one because he knows her. And he was like, Dawn, Uh, don't believe her. And I was like, really, why give me some receipts. See, I'm a good person, I'm objective. I'm like, I don't believe her, but I don't have enough evidence to say I don't. Why don't you believe her? Oh? Because I met her? I was like, oh, And he said I know. I said, Oh, didn't he send me this? I said, ooh, So take it where you want to take it? All right, here's go. What else we got here? We got TKO? No, we got one more from them. Now, ain't gonna do no more of that. I'm tired of that TKO merger. So is it going to be fake fighting or real wrestling? Y'all stupid? All I know is gonna be real big? How about that? All right, let's talk about this Goodell lawsuit right here. I remember him asking Goodell all those questions back to back about diversity in the staff and press room, and Goodell getting mad at him. Then I don't remember hearing anything else from him. Read no articles of hearing any coverage. So I think they'll settle. They know he's right and has a case. All right, interesting, Yeah, that could be your selective perception as well. But also they could have silenced my dog. All right, let's talk about k JP getting arrested. This is crazy. He should be in jail for attempted murder. I don't want to hear anything about concussions because if that's the case, teen doctor need to go to jail for allowing him to continue to play. Thank you for reporting on this story. Yeah, I mean forget. We always say if it was my daughter and my wife, it ain't gotta be my daughter my wife. You broke somebody's necks choking him, and I hate to be the guy that's like, you could have choked her without breaking the neck. It should be the same, but it's not. Because you went to the extent where that's the response, that's the result. All I'm saying is I don't want to see him play basketball. I don't know when, if ever, I can't see it put its way. As far as I can see, he should be on no court. Hell oh, all right, y'all know how we finished every show we finished with the WI League is them? Yeah, to say goodbye is to never leave. I forget. I want to say Bruce Smith, but it wasn't him. So one of those vets in Buffalo told me that one time when I was at a party and I was like, all right, man, I'm about to go, and I'm about to go. All right, man, I'll be right back. I'm just gonna say goodbye to everybody, all right, big dog, I see hey tomorrow. Practice okay, y'all good? All right, man, how are you gonna get home? You're good? And then he was like, hey, why they come here? He said the say goodbyes that never leave. He said just go, and I was like what And I watched him disappear into the dark of night. And since that moment, unless I'm with my wife and she got a say goodbye to everybody, including the people who set the party up, I am out. You see me? You want to know when I'm gone. When you don't see me, you ain't gonna know from me to say goodbyes, to never leave. You be in there doing all right? What's up? You're gonna call? I text you tomorrow? All right? What you doing? You pick a ball? All right? With the game? O? Okay, man, Look, so just remember that man in your social settings. Man I was dying when he did that. He was like, oh, the say goodbyes, never leave And I was like, where you go? Where you go? Bruce? He was out of there. So just remember that next time y'all out dip on your boys. It don't matter, they'd be good. To say goodbye is to never leave, all right, y'all got to do it for More to It. Take the show notes for all the information on our topics today.
