"It was not even Jim Brown's fault. He wasn't purposely even holding out or staying away. But when Art Modell said, yo, I'm going to find you because I'm going to show you who's boss, Jim Brown's response was basically, oh, you are my original intention was to try and participate in the 1966 National Football League season. But due to circumstances, this is impossible. And he made a speech where he talks explicitly about manhood. He doesn't mention Modell by name, but he talks about the infringement upon that manhood and that he'd sooner walk away than ever in the NFL again. And that's why, like when I first started sports writing lo the many years ago, I knew a lot of people in the NFL Players Association when they would talk about Jim Brown, they would say, you know, he's the only guy in the history of this league to ever walk away and not limp away. Jim Brown is also seen as, you know, one of the most iconic black athlete activists of the 20th century. He famously organized the Cleveland Summit, the meeting of a thousand black influential men, most of them athletes to discuss Muhammad Ali's decision to refuse to join the military after he'd been drafted to fight in Vietnam. But Dave, if I'm not mistaken, I think this is a story that is often misunderstood or that has been misremembered by a lot of people. Can you talk about Jim Brown's role in that historic summit? Guy, history is a funny thing. The way the Cleveland Summit is told is Muhammad Ali was standing up against the Vietnam War and the draft and a generation of the most political black athletes came together to show their support for Muhammad Ali. There's not one lie in what I just said, except for the fact that it's also not true. They all came to Cleveland because Jim Brown owned a piece of Muhammad Ali's main event boxing contract. And they didn't like that he wasn't boxing because he'd had his title stripped away. Now, some of these athletes like Walter Beach, just to give one example, absolutely came to Cleveland to support Muhammad Ali. But a lot came because they wanted answers from Jim Brown and from Muhammad Ali as to why Ali wasn't just putting on some red, white and blue boxing trunks, doing a couple USO tours and boxing still. So they all came to Cleveland. And before they came out for that now iconic press conference with Ali Russell, Jim Brown and a young Luau cinder, future Kareem Abdul -Jabbar, all sitting at a table, they met in a back room where Muhammad Ali convinced everybody that they needed to stand with him against the war. They needed to support his right. And then they all came out and the press conference was about how everybody believes Ali to be sincere and how they stand with him going forward. Because he was the first individual, I think, in this country that came out and said he had nothing against the Viet Cong. The late Bobby Kennedy came back from Vietnam and basically said the same thing. At the time, it was not a popular stand to make, but today it is a very popular stand. I think it's fair to say that Jim Brown himself was rarely afraid to take an unpopular stand. And Dave, that extended to some of his work with gangs in Los Angeles. Can you talk a little about some of the work that he did on that front and how it aligned with Jim Brown's own values? When I met him, this was the early mid 2000s. There was a man on death row in California named Stan Tookie Williams, who is a founding member of the Crip gang. Stanley Williams has spent 23 years, nearly half his life, at San Quentin State Prison near San Francisco, awaiting execution for robbing and murdering four people. Stan Tookie Williams was also somebody who became a Nobel Prize nominated author and children's book writer and devoted his time on death row to keeping people from choosing the gang life. Working together, we can put an end to this cycle that creates deep pain in the hearts of our mothers, our fathers, and our people who have lost loved ones to this senseless violence. Now, Jim Brown had worked with gang intervention called American and Jim Brown had worked with Tookie Williams to help intervene in people's lives and get them away from the violence and short lifespans. Now keep in mind, there were so many people in the state of California just baying at the moon for Stan Tookie Williams' execution. Well, I think that all of this is all part of his way of attempting to escape the executioner and being held accountable for the heinous crime he committed on March 11th, 1979 when he shot a 67 -year -old man in a motel and shot his 63 -year -old wife, then turned and shot his 43 -year -old daughter. And I think that he's trying to escape that consequence. And Jim Brown went out there by himself on media shows, on radio, sometimes in the face of incredible derision to call for clemency. And he even took that call for clemency to his former co -star in the movie The Running Man. Arnold Schwarzenegger was the star of The Running Man. Arnold Schwarzenegger was governor of California. And Jim Brown took this plea right to Schwarzenegger. Now, he failed in this effort. Stan Tookie Williams was executed. But that made a very strong impression on me because it was something that I saw was very, very Jim Brown. And that was a willingness to go against the grain if he felt like it was the right thing to do for his personal and political aims. Dave, you've also written about how Jim Brown's politics were a lot more complicated than many people might realize. Can you talk about some of the political alliances that he formed over the years? And what, if anything, the through line of his political beliefs was? Yeah, there is a through line because a lot of people are confused and they say, how can somebody who spoke at Huey Newton's funeral in 1989 support Donald Trump? How could somebody who endorsed Nixon in 1968 also be a personal guest of Coretta Scott King at Martin Luther King's funeral? They don't get it. His mind was that we cannot create meaningful and structural social change through marching, through protest. It happens through building our economic and political base. I thought economic development and a sense of cultural power would be a better way to fight. And you need resources. As far as the civil rights movement goes, Brown held it in contempt. Whether it was the 1950s or whether it was 2016, he referred to civil rights marches as parades. But I didn't think that nonviolence was a solution to the problem of inequality in America. I thought that nonviolence meant that you'd march and sing and you would try to appeal to the consciousness of the same people that were discriminated against you. This idea that you had to build your green power, you did not ask for acceptance from a racist society. Jim Brown loved to talk about the tradition of Jewish people. He also talked to me about the more recent history of Asian American people. And as I looked at the Jewish community, they applied it fantastically. The Korean communities, they seem to be applying it. And it seemed that people that took care of themselves and dealt with economic development and had high family values and didn't try to integrate would do a better job of integrating. Politics should be flexed only in so far as it helps you build that green power. That's the through line through all of it. Jim came out of nowhere and he said, I like what the president's doing. A long time ago we met, right? And I just appreciate. By the time Jim Brown met with Trump, he and I were not speaking, but somebody who was close to Trump because he thought he could shake that money tree and fund his anti -gang work, AmeriCAN, to a much greater degree. We're talking about making America a better country. We talked about the poor people. We talked about African American people. We talked about education, getting rid of violence, dealing with economic development realistically and how to work together. And Trump apparently made promises to that effect. I do not see evidence that those promises were ever fulfilled, but that was the reasoning behind it. And also there was antipathy between Jim Brown and President Obama. You know, President Obama was the only president who Jim Brown never met post the sixties. And I think that had to do with Brown's history with women. And so I've always believed that Jim Brown was kind of his own worst enemy. Like in a world where he could have more ably controlled his relationships with women, I think he would have become like a Muhammad Ali or a Bill Russell, this kind of broadly revered elder statesman, you know, the sort of person who would be front row at Obama's inauguration, the way Bill Russell was, but that was not to be his fate. Speaking of Jim Brown's relationship with women, you know, for many years, there was a very dark cloud hovering over him because of persistent longstanding accusations, credible accusations of domestic violence. Off the field, he led a complicated at times brutal life. He was arrested half a dozen times, mostly for domestic abuse. Can you talk a little about those charges and what we know about them and how you think those have impacted his legacy and his public profile? Yeah. I mean, first, when we talk about the charges, we're talking about different charges that pop up over the course of 35 years. Yeah. And those are the ones that are official. So, you know, you can't just dismiss it as Jim Brown often did as this was the state's effort to a free black man. They did something because they wanted to get a celebrity black male who they haven't broken yet. They've broken most of them, but they haven't broken me. In my study of it, make no mistake, there is evidence of that, of overzealous police officers, overzealous prosecutors, overzealous media. You know, this idea of taking Jim Brown a peg was very real. But that being said, what put them in the position to do that were very real circumstances. Charged with assault in 63, charged with assault and battery in 68, charged with assault and resisting arrests. And I guess cops found blood in your apartment and your girlfriend fell 20 feet off the balcony, hitting the ground below. A charge is what? It's a charge, right? What have I been convicted of? And it goes to that question we talked about before of manhood, because I find it interesting that the women who Jim Brown had, as he said, it had a voracious sexual appetite in the 70s. As he said, he moved right to Hollywood at the start of the sexual revolution and took advantage of that. The longest chapter in his memoir is about his experience, social experiences, let's say. And yet what you see is exclusively black women and women of color and also exclusively very young black women and women of color who attempted to come forward and speak about this. I mean, so there's a lot of issues at work here that have to do with him feeling challenged as a black man. Like when it was Art Modell in Cleveland, he would stand up and people would cheer. When it was a very young woman who he happened to be cohabitating with and he would flex that manhood when he felt challenged. I mean, it was something that for him felt consistent. But I think for us as a society, we need to say that's toxic, that's wrong, and that we need to move beyond it if we're ever going to progress as a species. Well, lastly here, Dave, you know, I think a lot of people are wrestling with this question of how exactly to talk about Jim Brown's life and legacy and how we should remember him. Because on the one hand, it doesn't seem fair to focus only on his football exploits and his work as an athlete activist and to gloss over these many, many domestic abuse charges. But it also doesn't seem fair to entirely dismiss all of his accomplishments and his social contributions because of those serious accusations. So Dave, how do you think Jim Brown should be remembered? I believe very strongly that Jim Brown should be remembered. And that's my entire sentence on the question, because there's going to be an effort to erase either parts or the entirety of Jim Brown. People on all sides are going to either reject all of him or erase some of him. And I think that's a great mistake because I view Jim Brown not only as this individual who demands study, but also as a window to understand a host of issues that demand study and demand introspection. I bet some people might be hearing this and they'll say, oh, Dave, you're being way too soft on this. You're saying that he's complicated. I'm not saying violence against women is complicated. It's not complicated at all. What is complicated is the life that surrounds it and why people make the choices that they make when they're particularly destructive and when they have the world at their fingertips. Well, Dave, thanks so much for joining us today. Thank you. You

So Dave, in the first half of the show, we talked about Jim Brown's ledger, and we talked a little bit about what he's going to be doing in the athleticism and all the ways in which he really dominated the NFL for nearly a decade.

"To what he was as a lacrosse player. He was a track and field star there and he was a good basketball player at Syracuse. He was eventually drafted by Syracuse Nats in the NBA at the time. But he said, in terms of the racial component of it, he said he came up at a time where you couldn't have an odd number of black guys on the team. You had to have two or four or six so that they could room together. Race was always an issue everywhere and I was the only African American on the team. It was very difficult based upon the racial attitude of some people. He was always conscious of that while always being super grateful to Malloy and those who helped him along the way. After Syracuse, he, of course, was drafted by the Cleveland Browns and went on to have an absolutely epic, although somewhat short -lived, you could say, NFL career. Steve, your perspective, what made him so special as a football player? He was just absolutely relentless. This is Jim Brown, the most devastating ball carrier in the history of football. It took two or three or four guys to bring him down. It was like they were hailing a cab as he went by and you just kind of had to jump on and hope more guys got on and got in and eventually bring him down. In 1965, Brown led the NFL in rushing for the eighth time. Here is Brown at his battering best, driving headlong into a knot of tacklers, breaking free, then sliding to the outside for a big game. He would kind of drag himself from the pile every time. It was his signature and sort of slowly, sometimes limp back to the huddle as if maybe he were, you know, slowing down and then the next play, they'd hand it off to him again and he'd do the same thing. They're a defensive man in the league who have dedicated themselves, their souls and their bodies to a holy war against Jimmy Brown. None of them has yet won the crusade. He was just the strongest, toughest, fiercest competitor that the game had seen and this was at a time in the NFL when everybody was a tough, super you know, blue collar, not well paid, leatherhead kind of, you know, football player and Jim Brown intimidated those guys. He was in a league of tough guys. He was the toughest guy. He was an intimidating guy to other NFL players and the notion that, you know, they had to tackle him was not a pleasant one for most defensive linemen in the national football league. And I think his short lived career is what makes it so brilliant. You know, at age 29, he plays his last game and retires not only as the all time leading rusher in NFL history, but the all time leading scorer of touchdowns and rushing touchdowns. So in that short time, he leaves with all the records, all of his marbles and at the peak of his greatness, which is, which almost nobody has done that. And he is to this day, the finest example of leaving on top and Jim Brown as a football player, we can only remember at his peak.

"Of Jim Brown. From Wondery, I'm Andres Calto. It's Friday, May 26th, and this is the lead. Steve Ruschen, welcome to the lead. Thank you. So, Steve, you wrote an in -depth story about Jim Brown for Sports Illustrated almost 30 years ago now, which I'm sure must be kind of hard to believe. You open that story with a fun anecdote about, I guess, a bit of a prank that Jim played on you. So first, I was wondering if you could just tell us that story. Well, yeah, I got Jim Brown's phone number. He told me later that his phone number hasn't changed since 1968. I don't imagine it had in the last 30 years either. And I called him up and he was very cryptic and terse on the phone, but he was cordial enough. And he said he'd be happy to do the interview. But I had to coordinate it with his scheduler, a guy named Rockhead Johnson. And I said, Rockhead Johnson? He said, no, Rockhead. And I asked him to spell it. He said, like rock and head, Rockhead Johnson. And he gave me Rockhead Johnson's phone number. And I called him and a pleasant voice answered. I said, I'm looking for Rockhead Johnson. And the guy said on the other end, kind of astonished, said, this is Rock, Rock Johnson. And I realized then that only Jim Brown got away with calling this guy Rockhead Johnson. But he had played a little prank on me. And that was my entry to the world of Jim Brown. But it didn't prevent you from getting the visit to Jim Brown. Yeah, I flew out to Los Angeles from New York. Then I was in the house that Jim Brown had lived in since 1968, overlooking Hollywood, overlooking just beautiful views in this beautiful kind of prototypical Hollywood setting. And so once you did get to Jim Brown's house, Steve, what was your initial impression of him? Like, what kind of an aura did he have about him? Quiet dignity, but an intimidating physical presence. His 46 inch chest hadn't diminished at all. He had the deep rumbling voice and he wasn't loud. He kind of had to lean in to listen. And I know he had said in previous interviews that he likes to do interviews in his home because that gave him the home field advantage, as it were. You also wrote about his house and the many people that passed through there over the years and the types of meetings that he held there. Could you talk a little bit about that? Well, his house was the same house and the same phone number since 1968. And I'm convinced he had the same what would then have been called Hi -Fi stereo set since 1968. The speaker wire ran up the silver wallpaper and had sort of been silver duct taped to the walls. I mean, the setting was very pretentious. It was in the Hollywood Hills, you know, palm trees and swimming pools. But the interior of the house and his style of hosting was very unpretentious. And he had, you know, he was a movie star after he was a football star. So, of course, he had Hollywood friends and close friends and business partners for a while with Richard Pryor. But he also had gang leaders to his house trying to ameliorate Los Angeles's, you know, this is in the 1990s, gang problems. I don't think that there could be anything any more important than to keep young people from killing each other. Over what? A red rag? A blue rag? When I was visiting him, he had a visiting professor from the University of Iowa, a woman who was studying the gang problem. And I got the impression that there was always somebody passing through. As I analyze being on this earth, why are we here? I imagine to be a better person and to help others. And I learned later that it was easy to pass through his house because at the end of our three hour interview, I had to hightail it to LAX to catch a flight back to New York. And halfway there, I realized I had left my laptop in a bag with all of my notebooks and stuff next to the couch that I'd been sitting on during the interview. So I drove back to his gate, his gate driveway gate was open. So I drove in, but then I rang the doorbell. Nobody answered. And so I found myself breaking and entering into Jim Brown's house. And I thought, you know, if I startled him or he doesn't know who this is, you know, this is going to be bad for me. But anyway, I saw my laptop next to the couch. I went and grabbed it as quietly as I could. I sneaked out of the house, I got my car and went to LAX and survived. And did not get tackled by the man with the 46 inch barrel chest. But that's the way the house was. You know, I mean, I got the feeling I wasn't the first person who just kind of walked in unannounced and walked through his house. It was a very literally an open door. Well, Steve, we want to have you help us understand how Jim Brown sort of became this guy who on the one hand was an epic intimidator, who always wanted to have home court advantage, so to speak, but was also so incredibly warm and welcoming. While being this massive sports and cultural icon. Could you talk a little about his early life and some of the formative experiences of his early years? He was born in 1936, so he said he came up at the crossroads of segregation. And I say segregation now, segregation tomorrow and segregation forever. He was born in St. Simon's Island, Georgia. His father was a boxer who left when he was born. His mother left for Manhasset, New York on Long Island when Jim was two. His mother worked as a cleaning woman for wealthy people in Manhasset. So he was raised on St. Simon's Island by his great grandmother and his alcoholic grandmother. And when he was eight, his mother sent for him. He went to Manhasset. Manhasset, those who don't know is, you know, on Long Island Sound where East Egg was in the Great Gatsby. So this is a very different world from where he had spent the previous eight years. He had a foot in both worlds, you know, in Manhasset, but also very much feeling his race. I was born Black, but I didn't live Black. I was trying to live the way that everybody else was living. But there was segregation at that time, there was discrimination, there was unfair situations, there was brutality. This country was a mess. He was a physically outlandish guy. I mean, he was huge. He was athletic. He was just a powerhouse. And so at Manhasset High School, he thrived as a basketball player. He averaged 38 points a game. Well, as a football player, he averaged 15 yards a carry. I mean, think about that. They hand the guy the ball seven times and he's in the end zone, basically. So he was, you know, an athlete unlike anybody at sea. But there was a leader in Manhasset, a lawyer, judge who became a judge in the New York State Supreme Court named Ken Malloy, who recognized both his talent and his backstory. And he raised money from other town leaders to pay for Jim Brown to go to Syracuse. Syracuse wasn't welcoming of Black athletes at the time. Syracuse didn't offer him a scholarship. I knew I was the best back there and they were trying to tell me I wasn't. So I decided I was going to leave. The superintendent of my high school flew up there and told me that I bet I'd quit, stick it out, and it'll work out. And he was right. And to put it mildly, he proved himself worthy as an athlete at Syracuse. He was a football star, of course. He became, by most accounts, the best lacrosse player of all time. He would just run right through everybody. He would have this little tiny stick. The ball would be in there and he could make it do tricks. He could make it talk. I mean, Jimmy was a pretty good football player, but had nothing compared

Jim Brown has died he was arguably the greatest player in NFL history and a champion for social activism throughout his Lawton or long after his football career ended with the Cleveland Browns. Jim Brown died peacefully last night at his home in Hollywood Hills, California. He was 87 years old. While joining us live, James Brown host of the NFL today who you can also see next hour anchoring the CBS evening news JB, thanks so much for joining us tonight. Appreciate it. Hey, thank you guys for having me as well. Jim Brown was considered as we mentioned as the perhaps the best player to ever put on helmet and pads in the NFL. Why is that? He was a remarkable athlete and many will tell you that he has perhaps the greatest athlete to have ever played as well too. I know there will be those who will certainly bring up the name of Jim Thorpe, but Jim Brown was Jeff sensational as a basketball player. He was amazingly NBA great coach and analyst. Hubie Brown talked about playing against Jim Brown. And again, he gives him that same kind of not as well. JB, what do you think? I mean, what stands out, he was a civil rights icon as well, very active, what stands out if anything in particular about his work there. Well, you know, John wooten was one of his blocking, I offensive lineman. And he was a guy who handled all of the administrative matters because Jim Brown was really focused on athletes being well educated and also being financially strong and also role models in that regard. You might recall the iconic photos back in 1968 when they called the economic summit and Cleveland and he had the likes of Bobby Mitchell God bless him luau sender or Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. All of the great names were there all putting their heads together to make certain that they were being excellent role models for athletes to follow that I will certainly remember we can talk about all of this athletic exploits movie star quitting at the age of 30 after only 9 seasons. I mean, just phenomenal, but also to be fair in terms of the well rounded look. He certainly had his share of challenges up with domestic violence off the field as well, but on balance, Jim Brown was just a one remarkable person. Is there a one memory or a final fact that you'd like to leave us with about Jim Brown? You know what? I remember hearing the comedians talked about how powerful he was on the football field when certainly there were a number of rough and tumble players out there. Who wanted to hurt him out there quite frankly. It was a tough sport and we often talked about two and three players trying to drag him down on the field and guys were actually humorously saying, Jim, would you please fall down? My kids are watching us on television as well. A humorous look at how awesome he was on the field. All right, thank you so much for your time today as always, James. Absolutely enjoy you guys as well. Thank you. JB James Brown host of the NFL today he's anchoring the CBS evening news tonight. That'll be at 6 30 on channel 9.

Brown retired at the peak of his career to become an actor, as well as a prominent civil rights advocate during the 1960s, Brown died in his Los Angeles home with a wife Monique by his side. But where do I start? Where do I start to basically talk about a guy who is not only a great football player, NFL Hall of Famer, but also a social activist, let's see one of the greatest players in football history. The league's most valuable player in 1965. He appeared in more than 30 films, most notably, any given Sunday and the dirty dozen, Brown was famous for using a steel farm to basically shed off defenders in the open field, there was truly no other like the number 32. At 6 two, 230 pounds, his highlight reels showcased him sometimes running right through opponents. Donnie Simpson said it's hard to believe the invincible Jim Brown is actually dead. To most fans, Jim Brown was the all time leading rusher into Walter Payton broke his record in the 1980s, browns, America, I can program. Helped gang members get off the street and transition back to society. So his legacy is a complicated one as the NFL Hall of Famer was once accused of beating two women and throwing them down a flight of stairs back, but the charges were obviously dropped back then because there was a lack of witnesses. Now rest in peace to number 32, a pioneer in American hero, Jim Brown. You guys have been locked into Derek talk, have a fantastic weekend, everybody. Take care.

"I knew a guy that in a lot of small groups and large groups in public speaking just, oh man, I love leadership. I'm all into leadership, but it's what I study. I read every leadership book that comes out and this thing and then a student can't even me and said, I wonder why he always says that. And I said, you're asking the wrong question. Student thought for a minute, and then the student said, no one follows him. Yeah. And that's exactly right. The books can help. It doesn't make you what you're not. Yeah, well, I mean, looks in the books are great. I mean, you know, John Maxwell's book, or some of the classics that I think are kind of those seminal works that, and by the way, there was a golden age of books like that that came out all about the same time. You know, you think of Stephen covey's book 7 habits of highly effective people. And people smarter than me have talked about it, but there are golden ages for all sorts of those kinds of things. I mean, you look at classical music. They're all written during these sort of narrow bands of time. And I think that was the time. The 80s and 90s you had economy is booming. You had Tony Robbins, you had Jim Brown, all of these people coming out and talking about these concepts.

"It's too bad. You really feel it from the Philly fans. It's more than anything, too. Yeah. Just kidding. Don't give a shit about the Philly fans. Harden with another whatever tonight he was 5 of 17, the game before this. Yeah, harden. The hardens. That's the other thing. Like Brooklyn, Philly, they all have issues that go beyond just being eliminated in the playoffs right now. There's just some huge, huge questions in terms of roster building and what they're going to, what they're going to look like and we can go into the next season. And you're going to feel pretty good if you're the Celtics. I mean, that's crazy for me to say that because I wanted to blow up the entire organization earlier in the season. So yeah, I've done a complete one 80 very quickly. But they're all of a sudden in a great position. Going into next season, even, not to look ahead. But yeah, if you hated the notion of these like ego driven super teams of like, you know, just mega stars forcing their way into places with one another, regardless of it. Then you've got to feel great seeing the three best teams in the east being the Celtics, the bucks and the heat. Which every piece on their roster compliments the other ones, you know? And even though there are superstars on these teams, multiple superstars on these teams, they're like constructed far more organically rather than like, I want to play with this guy, you know, and like make it happen. And everyone else, when I get there, trade, everyone else, okay? You know, like, that's real. Like this idea of like, how do you establish, think about the nets from the moment Kyrie arrived, okay? Kyrie and KD arrive, KD's not playing. Kyrie comes in there. He looks around the room and he's like, we got it. We'll be good as soon as we get rid of all of these guys. You know, basically says that like publicly, then he gets hurt, misses most of that year. They perform fairly well without him. Then they're like, okay, let's get rid of all of those guys, and then they trade for harden. We got a couple things that I'm seeing on Twitter that I want to read. So Bobby marks, who is like a front office insider guy on everyone knows him. He had a tweet. Jalen Brown earned a $482,000 bonus with the Celtics reaching the second round. So now we know why he was playing so well. Like I said, I was like, Jim Brown gets, you know, he's got to get his props. He's like, yeah, I'm getting that money. We're winning this series, definitely. Yeah. The other one, we have a quote, a Kyrie Irving quote, no word journey in this one, but he says that he plans to re sign with the nets. Quote, when I say I'm sorry. If y'all will have me. I think you're having me. He goes, when I say I'm here with Kev, I think that really entails us managing this franchise together alongside Joe and Sean. And now he wants to now he wants to build the roster. Your job to manage. Alongside Joe and Sean. Joking the owner and Sean Bean oh my God. Man, that is just so he wants to coach. He wants to own. He wants the GM. Does he want to play? 'cause it didn't look like he wanted to play..

I was like, finally, uh, you know, I'm one of those people, I guess during this whole time, this pandemic just looking for normalcy and yeah, we had football and all that last year, but it wasn't the same because fans were not in the stands with the Cowboys at the Bucks kick off the NFL season last night. And, um It was funny. What was your comment? Josh, Basically like Tom Brady is really lost it attitudes. Unbelievable. Right. Throwing some dark. Real unreal. The goat, right? Yeah. How do you do? You does any? How would anybody fight? Tom Brady is the greatest quarterback who has ever played in the National Football League. He's the undeniable number one. At that position. He may well be that number one football player period of all time I noticed on the NFL network, they had their list of the 100 greatest players of history. And for the first time since that list came out like 13 14 years ago, when they started doing that. Jim Brown was not number one. He was number two. Tom Brady was number one, and it was hard to argue when you go statistically and you look at the just go by the rings, baby, because that's all that counts. Tom Bree could punch you. And then take off all of his rings. And then put two more on and punch you again. The head. You had seven like championship rings crazy holes in your head aches it more. Like Just amazing is for so long. Everybody said, Oh, it's Bill Belichick. Yeah. And then he goes to Tampa whose wasn't terrible, but wasn't great. Bruce Arians is I mean, he knows what he's doing and goes straight to the Super Bowl. Yeah, of all the rings that he has. I think that one stands as the most powerful one. Yeah, pretty crazy. What he is doing it 44 years old. He still has the velocity he still has. I mean, as the accuracy it was amazing that comes out of price. And you were to you. You described that perfectly when we're Yeah. Prepping. I said the guy wakes up. And his entire life is centered around those 60 minutes on Sundays. That's it. That is his entire life. He has Children. He has a beautiful wife and all of those things, but this guy does everything to be who he is number 12 on Sundays for 60 minutes, and it's the way he eats the way he conducts his life. Everything is every molded around. I mean, think about How unfair And so many ways it is to be Tom Brady. You can never have a bad day. Why, even in those rare cases, Asians when you maybe have a poor game and you lose You get to go home and soak in a hot bath, which is L Bunsen. There is no such thing as a bad day. But don't don't do that. Wouldn't say that, my friend because let me tell you them skinny girls. What? What? Finish that state where you've got to finish that sentence. Yeah, they're hungry. They're hungry. And girls aren't good when they're hungry Attitude, Okay, because she's angry. Yeah, look like one of those key stars type of telling you, man, the cheeseburger place, skinny girls. They got something else going on. I'm telling you, he's not that skinny though, bro. I mean, honestly, skinnier than you think. Trust me.

America is not You raised this country right as we continue with Kareem Lanier. Leo two point Oh, Terrell, past the Darrell Scott. What percentage of the American people I'll ask all of you the same question. Give me a number. What percentage of the American people do you believe are racist. We'll start with Kareem. Believe is less than 5% and Leo. I believe this lesson probably less than 10%. And pastor Scott I'm a go in the middle Between day, Leo said 10 twin 75. I'll say 7.5, but we're all so that would mean well over 90% of Americans find racism repugnant Is that true? Absolutely. I agree. We're not some about the people that we're talking about the system. Okay, so So now the question is, if that's true, and if the Republican Party criminal justice reform historically black colleges, opportunity zones, etcetera, etcetera, all the things that Donald Trump did when he was president that no Democrat Joe Biden and Barack Obama never got that done. And I just I don't remember hearing on. I've known you for a while. Pastor Scott. I don't remember you a karim out there when Democrats were in office, saying this about Joe and Brock And I'm just I'm just curious. Why, Given all the access that you were given in the last four years that I know about, which was extensive. That these specific issues weren't dealt with. So I want my own radio station. I have a radio station and I shouted against Barack Obama loud and long on that radio station. I've known Donald Trump 2011. He was going to run in 2012. I was with him then. But you have to have the platform in order for the noise to be heard in my venue. Yeah, I was very outspoken against Obama by not shared my platforms with you Any time you want to be on this show, all you need to do is call me you have. But in 2000 and eight I took him out of black because I said people, if the only reason you're voting Barack Obama is because he's black. Then you're saying he's unqualified. I made that statement. I said, I wouldn't hire somebody to cut my grass just because you're black. They need to know how to cut grass. And I said so, if your only reasonable bumper bumper Obama's because he's black, then you saved yourself demands that qualified, so I've been very outspoken against them. Way all have Queen has to we we We didn't bonnets of Obama. We'll see. You know, I've said this to you. The last time you were on pastor and I said that the only way I think you're going to solve the problem is I love my idea. We discussed the idea that in a lot of cities, a lot of towns you have Ah Christian Church, predominantly African American. You have another Christian church, predominantly Hispanic American, Another Christian church, predominantly white American. Is that true? Yeah, it's true. Okay, so why don't why don't the pastor's get together and adopt a church and you come to our church once a month will go to your church once a month. There are a lot of churches that do things like that, And I don't know I haven't seen those out racial issue, though. The cultural issues I'll say this much We propose that Donald Trump in 2016. That we have a race summit and sit down have Frank discussions on the way. Donald Trump was all for it. He was excited about it. We're gonna have Jim Brown moderated because 92,016 was the 50th year anniversary since Jim Brown had a racial summit. The president was excited and wanted to do it. The people around him didn't want to do it. When I say he had his hands tied. I know what I'm talking about. From the inside out. The people around him didn't want him to do it. I don't want to call names like Can I don't care if you call names. Go ahead, Greatest President. He was. He was the greatest president of black America by far not finding the whole thing. So if they met my just let me wrap this up, and we were way over time. Here now. Um, But let me just say this. If the majority overwhelming majority 90 whatever plus percent of Americans find racism repugnant at an art racist. I want nothing to do with ignorant people that are And the American people believe in natural rights, God given rights, not government given rights, and we now have a society that is committed to righting wrongs and correcting injustices, which we have a history of Not Joe's mentors and the people that he prays. But But but certainly many people have over the many, You know hundreds of years of movement and in existence. Couple of 100 years. Plus now, and I would just say to both. It's all three of you that that there is the answer right there. Is that the majority of people in this country unite around something they agree on. And that is ending racism. In whatever form whatever manifestation And I would charge you, Pastor. I think you should. You should lead the way. You should have the adopt the church program. You should lead it a ball, help you as much as I can. I'll donate money to the Oh, we can't fix something that we deny exists. I said you're saying that you don't know if you're saying 90, plus percent of your saying 93% of Americans, not racist, you know? Okay, Then you're talking about 7%. That are against you and 93% or with you. America is not racist, but Americans some Americans are and Tim Scott received an overwhelming racist respond. We're over time. I gotta run. I want to thank you all. Karim. Thank you, Leo To point out, Terrell. Thank you. Pastor. Darrell Scott. Thank you. Quick break.

What do you? What are you? What are you thinking about? Colin Kaepernick. I think he's great. I think the truth almost didn't come to light. They. They suppress it for so long and so long and so long I think that it is. Emblematic of what's going on the country as a whole where you have this man and expressing is. Liberal belief. and. Becomes a lightly We tell ourselves we're in the twenty th century were everything is so diverse, and then you see what a lightning rod that becomes for. White. Anger. Someone expressing pride who is but also like. You can't kill black. That's radical athlete baboots how that's That's where we really are that. You can't say. Retaliates tally is wrong. Those are the hard enforces of racism, which I which I can chew colonialism in larger forces and patterns. How advanced how might and can the society be if you if it's if it's controversial as it was in that moment? Thankfully it's I think. As this moves forward. He's becoming raise established himself as one of a line of. Athletic spokespersons yet if you go back on tradition begins. Muhammad Ali's or the world and the Jim Brown's the world who's as like Oh as black versus one of the few people who is allowed any sort of visible Jackie Robinson in different. S. And that's end. And then he became corporate. Right. But the happiest people's right night. I talked about Jim Brown on the NFL who made the decision to leave NFL. After A manhood battle with art modell whose the owner Cleveland browns and direct line and one of the things on everything. We think we're saying there's historical precedent for it and the function and the horses ourselves. Insane. And so right. You look at that the and you look at what's happening feeling I'm not the first person. Say This I long chop wanted to contextualized story. And also like yeah. Camp is doing civil rights work. In the resistance that he faces shows you how much of this country is still against the most basic expression of civil rights what do you? What do you make of? The NFL along with the NBA? WNBA. Others. The institutions of sport have seemed to have come around to say you know we're going to embrace black lives matter. We're going to plastered all over the field or the court wear whatever you want. Neil. However, you want like you know we're fully supportive of the movement and yet gaps still doesn't have a job. So he still sacrificed his dream. Surely, it was his childhood dream that he achieved And then had that taken away chose to go after something bigger, and now that the the sports world, the NFL in particular has come around to his side of things. He is still left out which for so many of us for you to. ADDS a hypocritical sheen to all of it. I mean, I don't know I can't fully embrace what the NFL is doing until he is welcome back into the fold in a serious way. I mean, one of the. made the final cut I. Don't remember off the top of my head but wasn't Michael Vick can chilidog and still have A. Job in Colin Kaepernick, can't say. Shoot people. And not have a job. That's what I think. First of all the NFL. Lost me just I mean. There are a lot like their lot of sports. I. Love. I. Love Sports is you know and but there's always another sport and league baseball loss during steroids.

Much of the baby actually did. Athletic careers. sports and they end when you're still a young individual with a lot of life ahead and as you read it as Jim Brown realize can't stop. By many miles at. And right the dream of NFL would it looks like it might be over I hope that it's eventually someone will give him a shot maybe but. And will air. We'll find the next stream.

Andrew Luck's Retirement Highlights the NFL's Growing Problem
"Know what it wasn't long ago. I think it was last week when two weeks ago when mclovin said hey how about this poll question is andrew lock more likely to be an slight disappointment or hall of famer and this is when the ankle injury came. I remember it was the calf and then the owner robert say said i think it's an ankle and then i started to think there's more involved in this. There's more to this story. Sorry ben just glynn from the calf to a high ankle. I don't even i still don't know what he has but we know it serious enough that he announced his retirement and everybody's got an opinion on this. His decision to retire was a shock to the system for you know the the entire n._f._l. Nation when people say boy oy this is the most shocking football story we've ever heard i mean like new. No no no no how about we start with o._j. Simpson michael vick aaron hernandez. Those are shocking stories. Andrew looks different cat all right he is. He went back to college to get his degree. He could have left after his junior year. He went back to get his degree in architectural design. I believe he there are guys who are or football players and then there guys who play football most our football players j._j. Watt is a football player. Should he still be playing football. No no not at all but it andrew luck is a guy who is a guy who was good at playing football. I don't know if he's a a football guy and there's a difference in that but that doesn't mean he wasn't good at it or didn't love it. I just think that we're we're so unfamiliar. Oh you're with an athlete who uses logic where you go. What are you doing. Most football players in pauley had the analogy. Let's say you have a rock rock in your shoe. Most football players will continue to play in fact. Stop down on the rock. Where is andrew luck goes. How about. I just take the rock in my shoe. I mean it sounds logical. He just took the rock out of a shoe. Football players will tie the shoe differently like they'll somehow find a way. Hey i'll walk differently who care i'll take madison. Shoot me up. Whatever andrew lucked just said. I'm gonna take the the pebble <music> out. He's removing football from his life. Everybody has an opinion on this and when he started rattle off the list of injuries it makes a lot of sense but it's hard for us to imagine and by the way athletes are just commodities. We've moved on from all of these athletes. We don't care really don't care eric. Dickerson joined us in los angeles when we were out there and here's one of the great running backs of all time any looked great. I said the kind you look like you could give me a couple of carries. He said people don't realize the toll that this takes on goes. I slept in a reclining chair for two years because i had neck and back injuries. Nobody cares about eric dickerson's injuries. Nobody cared about jim. Mcmahon's injury his health. He thought about killing himself. We move on and andrew luck realizes that and yes he got paid paid and the reason for people to be upset and how do you do this to your team. And how do you quit on your team. I understand those emotions. I really do but i have to look at this and say andrew. Luck did what andrew luck thought he needed to do. Is it inexcusable to you know oh colts fans. Yeah i get that. I don't think he's saying boy. Watch what i'm gonna do. I'm going to set up the colts for failure now. I don't think i think that he had to process this. It took a long time. It's something you do you do well. It's your identity and maybe he doesn't want that is his identity and can you get away from this. You know the guys who had all the surgeries. I'm seeing all of this stuff here. Everybody's saying how do you do. I understand all of those emotions. Russians here but andrew lock did what andrew lucked thought he needed to do. If barry sanders was a quarterback and he walked away we would have abba bigger issue with what barry sanders did at age thirty-one calvin johnson at aged thirty. Jim brown age thirty. What are you doing walking away from the sport. Guess you've got a contract extension. There are a lot of questions. I have ranted you luck in this situation. When did you really know and when did you let the cold snow and what is the reason. Is there more surgery down. The road like you went through shoulder. You had and i put some of this on the colts by the way ryan grigson in particular the former g._m. What did i say for years. You have this investment. It's like having this unbelievable engine but then you have a car that's falling apart. You traded for trent richardson. You didn't use any lyman you finally went out and got quinton nelson and what happened. Andrew luck had the best season of his career. He had the fewest sacks. It's not something that takes a whole lot of thought. Hey how about we have a good offensive line. Chances are andrew. Luck might be able to play play a little bit longer but so many injuries and then you start to get down on yourself and you get in your head and you don't wanna go through it and and i look i couldn't play the game. I've told you if you ever watched a game on the sidelines. You never let your kids play. It is violent. It's more violent than you think because when you hear it you can close your eyes on the sidelines just listen. There's no way you go yep. I want to play play. I know we're macho. I know we all wanna play through pain. I did stupid things with my knee and my shoulder waited thirty five the years to get my torn rotator and i'm not even a pro athlete. I have an artificial knee because i was stupid when i played this guys out there and they're taking shots at him. He's getting hit lacerated kidney. He's got shoulder. He's got yeah. I understand all of these injuries. Do we want him out there. Yes because it's about us he. What are you doing to my fantasy team. Hey what you doing to my colds. You're you guys got a chance to. I understand hold loose things but this is something that we don't understand an athlete who says i'm gonna take a logical approach. He's a guy he's got a flip phone. He's got a book club. I mean he he's not your normal guy. Hi and we can't understand this. He's newly married. We can't understand this because all of us would go. I killed a play and make that kind of money and be a starting starting quite yes. This story is about us in how we perceive. This people didn't play wanna tell you they would play or how oh you need to play or. What's wrong with your your soft. You gotta take a step back and andrew luck. Doing i see all of this twitter chatter. Oh this is going to stay with him forever. I is very sanders. A quitter calvin johnson a quitter. Is jim brown a quitter right i. I haven't heard that i'd never heard somebody say. Jim brown's a quitter. Barry sanders quit walked down on the <hes> the lines how can you do. I guess andrew luck is a quitter but i'm guessing will move past this calvin johnson. Is he a quitter or see smart. I don't know i just i saw this reaction this vitriol that andrew luck how dare you do for this. He walked away from his team. I get i get it. He gave up on a sport. He excels at but no matter what people say. I think we can all agree. Andrew luck was outstanding when he did play and wishing luck and no pun intended with his life after football.

Andrew Luck, Joan And One Minute discussed on SportsCenter AllNight
"Of sports where Andrew luck has announced his retirement Joan I thought we were going to be talking about college football tonight is Florida holds on to beat Miami twenty four to twenty in weeks zero of college football camping world stadium in Orlando we had our many D. as turnover chain topics ready to go and Angela decides to retire one of the most shocking sports stories that I could ever remember Jalen it's got to be right up there I remember the night Barry Sanders retired and that was really shocking I remember being in school as a kid when Magic Johnson announced that he had HIV that's got to be I mean as far as just flooring you with news because it also had to do with magic self people always say Jim brown's retirement a year after going to a championship game and and be in really good to you know go hang out with rock hell well should make a bunch action movies is one of the craziest retirement stories ever but did this this one will crack that all time crazy list I'm with you on Magic Johnson and H. I. V. that rocked everybody's world and then the other one that comes to mind is Michael Jordan retiring after winning championships and then he suddenly starts playing baseball with the Birmingham barons so when those stories though have some other impacts you know with Michael Jordan you can always get into the speculation as to why he was really gone from the NBA and played baseball for a little bit of time you bring up Barry Sanders that seems to be a franchise issue with the Detroit Lions when it comes to putting a good team around star players and money Calvin Johnson actually has a similar situation on going right now with the lines this one to me is just sad it's sad it's disappointing in the sense that Andrew luck had so much going for him coming into the NFL he was gonna be ushering in the next wave of quarterbacks that we were gonna be talking about the same regard as Tom Brady and Peyton manning and as we've mentioned couple times already Peyton manning's actually gonna out last Andrew luck and that's where we are tonight yeah it's yeah we we use the word disappointing earlier when we were looking for the one word to sum up his career because neither one of us felt like a botched was appropriate despite the note a Superbowl absolutely not yeah one of the most ballyhooed quarterbacks of all time yeah he is a four time pro bowler he is he a hall of Famer I mean that that that is a double the rate over the next couple so how about slow down the hall of fame come on how about how about that give me one give me one minute Joe is Andrew luck a hall of Famer to give you one second no come on that is the one of the best quarterbacks of his era yes we barely saw what he was four time Pro Bowl well I backstabber I mean is there like a rookie wing of the hall of fame that we could put it right now that's a silly conversation in that I've seen it kind of pop up on social media but I do think that these silly conversation right now what's not so the conversation is what do the colts do going forward I think we're gonna be finding out more about Andrew luck situation in the next coming days and Adam Schefter broke the news is most definitely going to fill in some of these gaps whether they know how long this conversation going on but you do have the immediate impact of football not just for the call from cell to the division and what the AFC playoffs

Zeke Update
"Be N._F._l.. Teams are in training camp but that doesn't mean every player is we've got hold doubts in key spots Saints Michael Thomas Chargers Melvin Gordon who else Yana can gakugei Jacksonville Trent Williams in Washington and of course Ezekiel Elliott in Dallas the big one big name that everyone's watching out there in oxnard California all guys that <hes> are heading into either the final year of their deal or wants some sort of adjustment on their contract before camp or the season starts so we gotta go through all these the person who helps us make sense of all this stuff is our own Adam schefter so Adam Una make this pretty simple. I will give you a name and you tell us the latest on that player. Start with Ezekiel Elliott of of the cowboys will Zeke Elliott has not shown up in Oxnard California side of the Dallas Cowboys training camp and they're going through physical today. They are basically supposed to be attending a team meeting and there's no sign of Zeke right now which tells you soup that it looks like at the very least Zeke Watch is underway and it certainly feels like this is going to be a hold out while the two sides tried to see if they can come up with a new deal for Zeke Elliott but no signs of him California this yet and no signs as of November by the chargers camp right now then this one is going to go on for a while the two sides basically have their own stances. There have differing pains. Nobody Gordon's value. I don't see this getting south anytime this summer I I think this one looks like it has a real chance to go into the regular season. It's time for Austin Ecuador and Justin Jackson and no Michael Thomas in New Orleans still you take the reading receiver off that team. The saints have offered to make them the highest a wide receiver receiver in football. It sounds like he wants to get to a very high threshold north of twenty million dollars a year. We'll see what they can get there where the saints a willing to budge but Michael Thomas wants to become not just a highest eight wide receiver in football but the highest paid wide receiver football by a long shot right now while we wait for Julio Jones deal to potentially come in later this summer Adam sit tight we we'll come back to you as as needed. We're going to go back and talk about Ezekiel Elliott though how important is even to the cowboys he's led the N._F._l.. Rushing yards per game in each of his first three seasons the only other players to do that in the ninety nine year history of the N._F._l.. or Jim Brown and Earl Campbell perhaps you've heard of them. Both of those guys are in the hall of fame name safe to say that few running backs have ever had a better start to their careers then has Ezekiel Elliott

C.J. Anderson says Todd Gurley was 'more hurt than what we thought' when he signed with the Rams
"Then we go out to Los Angeles and interesting a little bit of clarity surrounding the Rams and Todd Gurley. And you know, listen, we set at the time after the NFC championship game. And certainly with the lack of use in the Super Bowl. Even though there was the great smokescreen at the Todd Gurley was a great get a tremendous work in the Rams and were telling everybody that that he was. That was surrounded at game being a CBS event as we saw it that it's going to get his normal workload he didn't. And now we have a little bit of clarity is a C J Anderson attitude yesterday TASR by basically, saying, no, sir. Uncertain terms that you know, he was brought in Gurley was hurt worse than they initially thought. He was. L, and I've talked about this a lot as you said when this was going on in a poll season what NFC championship the Super Bowl and all this jazz. Girly weren't getting a lot of burn, you know. And I I'm not confused. But it's interesting to me that C J Anderson would say this publicly what a cameras face when you. Show McVeigh wouldn't say this like nobody else's was saying this after the Super Bowl after you've got your rear end kicked by the pats. Nobody was saying this about growing and that for him to say, I have no beef would CJ innocent. I'm just confused. Like, why wouldn't it's more about McVay? Why wouldn't the head coach status or the organization or Todd Todd Gurley? I understand you want to make it look like an excuse. I got from the athletes perspective. I think that's it. But usually the head coach will take the heat. He'll he'll sort of the athlete doesn't look soft. But let me say it. How do you come out after you told Gurley was said tell tell everyone all week long thou Gurley was healthy. Then how do you after the game? Then say he was what you gotta say that violation of NFL rule, you gotta figure something we've seen guys kind of finagle with this a little bit. They say things certainly there's ways you could skirt as you know, you got pre-game me a little banged up. Whatever I mean, he's got some soreness in wheel in something. Something's got. Had to be surprised at CJ. Girly and say, wait a second. You you couldn't run the ball because you were sore or your compounding the problem. Are you not? I mean, he lied to begin with right, right? Because girly clearly was hurt. He the the the whole notion that that Anderson was a better match up. I mean, it's hot girl. He's a top two running back in the sport. I mean, they had some some guys say, well, even at the Rams bay none as somebody had McVeigh talking about the matchup of C, J Anderson when you just gave girly what forty five million dollar extension, or whatever it was that was it. So I mean, you mean to tell me I'm gonna take a Jim Brown out of the game. Sanders out of the to get the backup some work because the fact that it can more north-south runner. No that that to me made no sense. So we all knew what the truth was tasked. But I don't think the Rams after they told everybody at CBS after they told everybody during the course of the week leading up to the Super Bowl that Gurley was a okay one hundred percent healthy after girly basically said as well after McVeigh said at that after the game after once again having little to no work or very limited work that saying well, listen all week long. Is he was about sixty percent. Well, listen the week. I don't think they could do that. I understand they face a massive fine. I understand what you're saying. And you're spot on you are. But the thing is, you know, this the week going into the Super Bowl the narrative Rams camp was loud and clear. Yeah. That you know, what I'm going with this Todd Gurley was going to run the ball. Todd Gurley was tweet now. But she loved the team everything he's rarely go, blah, blah, blah, talk girl talk girl Todd Gurley. And really he didn't do nothing touches in the Super Bowl. He did not. But isn't that TASR when you look back at a is not a case of gamesmanship could be it could be. But it could be it didn't work. I'm not telling you that could be right because why gave the patriots an advantage in their preparations. When do you want to make sure that everyone's a ok and one hundred percent healthy you want to sit in the notion of the pats have to prepare for one hundred percent Todd Gurley. Even though the Rams DOE that he's not. I mean, let's say what what Anderson said is basically what we all thought. I mean, there's nobody walking around gonna get a lot too at Starbucks and saying listen Anderson was I can understand why girly to got limited. No use. I mean, he was one hundred percent healthy. I mean, we we all thought that game. I I don't want to I. Yes. But for me, I was a little bit. I'm going to be honest. I know out here talking. I was out a little bit confused. I wasn't buying into the injury thing. I wasn't. I wasn't. I wasn't buying it. I think I said that here several times, I remember we serve as me. I wasn't by. Now, if CJ is telling the truth, and I was dead wrong. Now. I'll be wrong. That's fine. I felt like there was more to this than the guy's got an injured knee got guys hurt because there were clusters. They were burst. He would get on the field in the AFC championship in NFC champ should say in the end in the Super Bowl where he girly looked explosive. Looked awesome and bro. Nobody nobody. I didn't see maybe I'm slightly exaggerating. The bulk of those two games I did not see any member of medical staff on the sideline near Todd Gurley. And he was the thread of the broadcast. He was the conversation from the Rams offense aside where commentators for both those games will talking about girly. My point is I we've never really sure camera autumn a lot on the sideline, but we never saw trainer or anybody from the training staff talking to him. I'm not saying it didn't happen. But we never saw. Reported see that. But I mean lot there's I mean tasks we we've all watched girly run the football. We've all watched Anderson run the football would be a case of, you know, you're taking a top three players position out of the game for guy that just came off the cow graph. Yeah. No, no. I agree with you. Thanks. I know you know, that I know I know I it's just now I believe now we have regardless of what the motivation is for CJ and got some clarity. And he even said, you know, let's girlie one say, but it was the same knee that he got that. He suffered that he had the knee injury with when it came back to college. Right. Our it's the it's that day believes spring me. I mean, they brought him in. And I understand Anderson. Ran the ball. Really? Well, he did. And he's gonna get himself a job in two thousand nineteen in the National Football League and great for C J Anderson took advantage of an opportunity, but tasks we look at that game. And you say we'll house type girly not getting touches and it very similar a not not very similar. But when you take a starter off the field as we criticize the patriots two years ago in the Super Bowl when they take a quarter off the field. That's played in your saying. Why is he not play crown on a Sunday, and no clarity about that? Right dogs act. We we still don't know exactly. What went wrong there? And everyone says it was the match. Yup. That's nonsense. What a corner bells. Defensive place that doesn't play in the Super Bowl. You look down with girly. At least we have a little bit of clarity in terms of where that me wasn't where he was. And you're right. I I guess I'm just being thick-headed. But I don't think we'll go out and lie with do that. I don't hear is nothing a game for that. You know? I mean, he's actually protecting a guy that he's competing against that was on his team. You know what? I mean, the girl he's not going to be getting excuses. Right. Well, I respect that too. And here's what here's the other thing. It didn't come back to what the Rams, you know. Why didn't because Goth was brutal? Yeah. He really was. And you could say we want Cup. Cop wasn't there? You could say anybody can say what they want about Cup. And that and I know they have great chemistry. Goths gotta be a player with or without Carly or without some. I agree with you. And that and that gave them some cover. So I mean as bad as it was that scene girly on the field TASR. There were throws a GOP needed to me. And he was clearly undone by the defensive scheme by the

"James went after NFL owners. He was critical of NFL owners during the latest episode of the shop earlier tonight Friday night where he said NFL owners, quote have a slave mentality. In the NFL. They got a bunch of old white men owning teams, and they got the slave mentality. And it's like this is my team you do what the blank, I tell you to do all we get rid of your all. So there's more of that. I'd like to see it in its content. I watched tonight on HBO.

Hop stars actors people they're having fun and his executive producer and partner. Maverick carter. Also Todd Gurley was talking business and rapper ice cube. So I'm not going to sit here and analyze every word that was said in a barbershop where a bunch of guys are talking. But the key question that we need to talk about over the weekend. Because this is a big story. My good friend. Chris Moore who was on before me said that this could be a news dump over the weekend. We might forget it. I disagree because we had the government shutdown. We have bad weather on the east coast. Everyone's traveling for the holidays, we might forget about it. We won't forget about this. Because LeBron James is the most important and biggest name athlete in the country with all due respect to Jordan Tom Brady. Tiger woods. It's lebrons world right now. But I think what you have to ask. And I'll ask it for you. Is what is LeBron trying to get out of this? Why would LeBron James want to pick a fight with Robert Kraft and Jerry Jones right to white guys? Really rich owners number one in one a who do a lot and are very inclusive with African Americans. Robert Kraft, obviously does so much good all the charity work. Did he does Jerry Jones all the countless African American players that he's had who got onto greatness who love him sit in the owner's box. Why would LeBron James do this? I'm trying to figure that out eight five five two one two four two two seven. But I'll tell you why he's doing it because LeBron's branching out of basketball. He's in the real estate business. He's in the movie business. He's in the music business. He wants people to know his feelings on this. But Ken, LeBron sit down and have a deep debate. And a discussion on this topic with Jim Brown Kareem Abdul-Jabbar Bill Russell some of the leaders when it comes to the African American community in sports in our lifetime. I think you can I think what LeBron was trying to do is make a point that. There are no guaranteed contracts in the NFL. But does he. Have to use the term slave
