The Steelers lead 14 to 13 Sean Payton someone who is not in the NFL right now is broadcasting.

He was on a podcast and said that he is.

He's open to coaching next year. What a shock I think there might be a job that would probably be waiting for him. Speaking of jobs open that team is probably or maybe the Dallas Cowboys that Prescott looks like he might be returning sooner than later. Jerry Jones always one for competition lets everyone know that he would love to have a quarterback controversy Ben seven. Speaking of controversy. Ben Simmons has opened up his mouth.

Ben Simmons has spoken and I'm not sure you provided too much clarity as he sat down with JJ Reddick, Baltimore Ravens of draw the short their defense by bringing in Jason peer Paul and Krista McCaffrey, someone who is very familiar with injury over the past several years he's dealing with ankle stiffness. They gave that man all that money after his 1000 yard rushing 1000 yard receiving season and he's just been a whole Lotta hurt, so we got a lot to do here. Hey it's real simple question will ask our producer hanging here with us tonight to talk to Jack Sturmer quick Jack, how are you this evening. I'm happy that you're here. I'm happy to be here as well.

JR, there is no place I would rather be at 1002 on the East Coast then setting in the control room producing for you so such a nice thing to say thank you, Jack and I didn't have to pay you would nine. So thank you very much.

Okay here's the deal, folks you want to give me a holler. The number is as follows 855-2124 CBS. That's 855-2124 CBS follow me online at JR sport brief on all social media, twitter, Facebook, Instagram, if you follow you will already know about everything that we plan on discussing. Here's the scenario last night a little after midnight the new start at the break and come down the pipe that the Boston Celtics and I me Doak.

They were going to have some type of issue there was going to be some type of punishment that was going to come through the pipe and we were, left in the dark as to what it was about an hour later we got another message from Seamus.

He came through and he said all this is a workplace violation that I me Doak had a personal, intimate relationship with a female staff member and it goes against team policy and they were just waiting on the punishment. Well, 40 minutes ago the world found out what that punishment is we didn't get any further details as to so who do I don't think it really matters. We didn't find out anything else. But the Boston Celtics released a press release about 40 minutes ago now the Boston Celtics announced today that the team has suspended head coach. I me Doak or for the 2022, 23 season for violations of team policies, a decision about his future with the Celtics beyond the season will be made at a later date.

The suspension takes effect immediately a few things here is as might be done. A decision about his future with the Celtics beyond the season will be made at a later date.

He might never coach for the Boston Celtics again. I me with okay just got the job as the head coach of the Boston Celtics and not only did he get the job he took the steam to the finals.

Danny Ames decide say I don't I don't want to do this anymore. Brad Stevens goes upstairs and takes the present spot. I made adult goes basically been an assistant head coach in the NBA, starting off with the San Antonio Spurs used to play for. Even though sparingly, Philly, Brooklyn, and he became head coach of the Celtics and he helped turn the team around.

They actually went to the NBA finals. We know that they ultimately lost and now I'm you, Doak might be gone you want to talk about ruining and screwing up an opportunity. Well yeah he did screw up an opportunity by scrolling someone that he had no business scrolling and here we are, the Boston Celtics, they're just tailor-made for Jerry Springer right now we should be talking about I don't know Brent Williams in his injury.

We should be talking about what the Celtics will do in a packed Eastern conference how they plan on bouncing back but I me you Doak or is the central figure. Here he supposed to be the leader he supposed to be the guy going out there setting an example he's supposed to be helping the squad. Take the next step. It was only after a loss to the finals were in the finest of the Golden State Warriors where I'm able. Doak up.

He said that us going to the finals and losing to Golden State. It was a learning experience. Listen to this notion heard her for a while and probably the stuff never goes wherever possible before and so that was part of message propel us forward experiencing growth and progress that we made the season I was again to your ultimate goal in phone fugue. In short, has been hurting a lot of guys in there very emotional right now. So the message was really thank them for their effort and growth. Everything they allowed us to do coaching was sheer biggest biggest message learned from this will permit take this experience and see there is no level to get to my Golden State. That was June after losing to the warriors in the finals. I me Doak. He put out a statement is all it reads as follows. This came out of right after the Celtics and of course this was all orchestrated so the statements come out insane can all in time, reads as follows, I will apologize to our players fans the entire Celtics organization and my family for letting them down. I'm sorry for putting the team in this difficult situation and I accept the team's decision out of respect for everyone involved. I will have no further comment that moves me to my my second thought. First, we know that he suspended for year the Celtics made it clear in their statement he might not ever return as head coach Joe Mazzola is the interim head coach. The assistant who was next in line.

He will now be coaching the Utah Jazz. He's gone from the organization and if Joe Mazzola has has great success this season with the Boston Celtics while they might not bring back I meet you Doak. He might've gotten himself out of a job because he thought with the wrong head that happens. And so here we are.

I can't remember a scenario or situation like this and let's let's all be clear, people sleep with their coworkers all the time people in power abuse that power and they sleep with people who they manage. Someone called last night and called them underlings so I don't don't call them underlings man that's an appropriate underlings just sounds awful. Don't say that, but the fact is this happens every day, all over America all over the world.

Dammit we got eight 9 billion people here. I don't know how many billions of people on this float rock in the middle of nowhere. I know this 9 billion people had to get here somehow and not everybody got here and some you know some positive beautiful situation, people are doing the nasty bit doing it with their neighbors.

They're doing it with their friends. I hope they're not doing it with their family that they're doing it with their coworkers. How many people I work meet at work in a they get married and have kids. They have families happens, but is not encouraged when you are in a position of power you not supposed to do it when you're higher up on the the professional foodchain when you're a coach when you're a manager when you have people who work for you. It's a no no. I don't care if it's the Boston Celtics or fits the Boston printing company down the block from the arena you not supposed to do it and why nobody strong to get sued. Nobody wants a sexual harassment lawsuit. Nobody wants a loss in productivity. No company where you try to make money nobody strong to lose money because you know Bobby and Susie. They used to do the nasty and now they don't get along. Now imagine taking that into a a public setting.

Imagine taking that to all of the brand in the United States of America. One of the most successful basketball teams on earth, the Boston Celtics, here are some facts I me you Doak is screwed up. He did you not supposed to do this. It happens all the time.

We don't know who it is. People can speculate we don't know the circumstances we don't know if it was someone on the staff, which is been reported and we don't know the who's wise, what's when wet. We don't know that I'm sure one day it will come out and everyone who's interested in a TMZ story will go ahead and get it. But this is what you're supposed to do if you're the head coach of the basketball team, let alone in your first year with the Celtics I'm you Doak is kicking himself and I haven't even mentioned me along his longtime partner of 10 years of which I know, at minimum, they have one child was about 10 years old who is probably old enough to understand Sunday right here and none of my business, though I'm you Doak is not just going to hear about this and how his behavior affects the basketball team, how it affects the Boston Celtics. He's going to hear about this in the quote "Hollywood media, whether or not it is a reputable organization. If you want to call people magazine want or what you want say it's the shade room where I'm you. Doak is basically being eviscerated for screwing up his career potentially screwing up his relationship maybe and also doing the same damn thing to the Celtics but seen that just went to the finals and you you couldn't control yourself.

Happens a lot of people can't control themselves. A lot of people on in the position of honor you. Doak and so without knowing all of the details a year-long suspension to me sounds very very long but you have to think about his credibility has his credibility or will his credibility take a hit in the locker room. He had to go away for some amount of time is a couple of months since it is it fair do you continue the circus you know to think the penalty is harsh for year yes but I understand it, the Boston Celtics had to absolve themselves of this distraction. It's going to be talked about all season long.

The folks on TNT will talk about it. I'm sure Charles Barkley will have a clever joke ready.

I'm sure Shaq will have a clever joke. I'm sure Kenny the jet Smith will tell these guys okay guys chillout relax. If the Celtics do great.

It will be talked about. If they stink.

It will be talked about and so here's the reality.

If I meet you Doak a was suspended for month or two months in the Celtics were winning or losing. There was going to be controversy. This would have been brought back up and driven into the ground into a whole another level in order to completely or letting us a completely in order to really try your best to eliminate the largest distraction.

He had to go and he's going to be gone for a whole year. So if the Celtics think by the time we get to the February or January is not going to be any added when zombie coming back or he came back and now they stink. The punishment is harsh, even though we don't know the full details: quote of the, the violation will. 14. Just trying to play basketball.

Then I have to answer these questions on Monday and I have to go intermediate day. Tatum and Browning in Missoula and regardless of of what is this put out what statements are made beforehand.

This is going be a topic of conversation. And if you're the Celtics. Maybe this is something that galvanizes the team. Maybe this pulls everyone together to say hey it's us in this room, screw the distractions. That's the best bet and I'm you Doak yeah he had to go for an entire year and we don't need to know the details to go ahead and draw that conclusion penalty harsh yes, but necessary to eliminate the distraction. He potentially screwed up his career and someone will give him a chance if he's no longer going to be coach of the Celtics potentially screwed up his relationship and maybe maybe was not maybe he's done some damage to the currency, they don't bounce right back. Was it going to bother him. Maybe, maybe not, but because he wanted to participate in some extracurricular activities he's done damage to quite a lot.

I meet with okay it's been announced that he is going to be suspended for the entire upcoming NBA season. The Boston Celtics have made it clear he might not come back ever after this season. They going to determine that at a later date, is the penalty harsh yes. Was it necessary, I believe it was as well, and open up the phone lines. That's 855-2124 CBS.

That's 8552124C BS.

Do you think I meet you Doak should have been suspended for the entire year is the punishment harsh. What would you have done will going to talk about it on the other side's the JR sport ratio right here with you on CBS sports radio that's right is the JR sport ratio here with you on CBS sports radio. The Celtics have handed down.

That suspension.I meet you Doak. What is it one full season Boston Celtics have told him you're gone all year and they also said his future past that will be determined at a later date. So there's no guarantee that I meet you, Doak will return as head coach of the Boston Celtics assistant coach Missoula will go ahead and take over and if he has success.

I don't know if they go back to the finals and what the hell you bring her back army for you.

Tell him to stay home.

We do need you and we do need you out here sleeping with the assistant people on the staff and so I make this clear last break was the penalty of our year harsh, I believe so. And that's without knowing all of the details when you're in a position of power.

When you work in a corporate entity you know this is this is potentially what can happen. There's a reason for because nobody strong to be sued. Nobody wants to mess at work. Nobody wants personal issues screwing up the money and so with the Boston Celtics needed to do was eliminate a distraction when I say eliminate I should probably use the word lesson because his is present. His behavior is gonna linger over the team all season long even if he's gone to have his return lingering whether the team is performing good or bad. It's not fair to the players he has to go penalty is harsh. Yes but for the betterment of the team and for the focus the goal to actually when I don't care what he accomplished last year as a first year had Kochi.

He had to go. The phone lines are open 855-2124 CBS.

That's 855-2124 CBS what you think about the Celtics suspending I meet you Doak or for the entire season for having an intimate personal but consensual relationship with a staffer scoter man he's calling out from Flushing your CBS sports radio sup Manny.

There are, you're my brother I'm good thank you what's up I'm good merit are mandated.

You know it aware is bad but but also disappointing because you know you. About one year. You have the time prior to raising inland theaters on the best young coaches in the game for me Celtics for the final and now all authority. The view from authority in a way a number of very good supporting interview should know better. I mean my dad always use your head and unfortunately you did not use a bed and you know the quality of your work for or you printed a power that don't do it. Look was the main body raising your vampire for that very well. He had a wife, for he should excuse me, the male Delco in India long they were not married but they work together and he he decided to know find someone else to put his head down on I don't know we don't know, so I'm sure sooner than later, will will find out there to like we have no details for now, but you can rest assured. Somehow, someway. The details are going to come out, you know, we've had a Chris Haynes from TMC. He shared earlier this afternoon that it wasn't the assistant coach know well what are we supposed to do. Go through 20 other women who are on staff will I'm not doing that somebody will so many rumors so many people speculating who what when where why now, why did this come out now what does it matter summa I don't know somebody was unhappy was a staffer on hat. I mean, we don't know. Was it somebody else's spouse.

We don't know doesn't matter though 855-2124 CBS James is calling from LA your CBS sports radio sup James there are great dollar earning their net value.

Yup, young up-and-coming coat and you can use. You know even normal Lakers fan. Phil okay you know had had her guy was very delicate that but morality will make a big play in the world today in Québec, reflecting the here that we look at what happened when Rick McLean know urban buyer.

Even reports of an order on Donella you you had to go because of something like that. You defeat that morality still is the key play in the world we live in today in the filters more know not the governor they can about it, then an act requested a lick of time. It came out. I'm sure they question them to get out of alone won't yeah okay you done, you don't 20th year.

You know they they they didn't hold on to and in and had let it linger lately put the top and black. We were here before you let me grab you to do what we have to do to win without okay and you I respect that you never expect morale and think about it, man. You know the way we live now everything is so immoral it perfect.

You hear that okay will thank you chainsaw: from LA I'm not. You do have a point. If we have to think about how quickly the Celtics reacted just flabbergast four days time. Okay yeah sure they they acted quick.

I'm going to assume that in this is because both of shamans and woes are or mouthpieces to the management all across the NBA general managers, presidents, owners, etc. that the team was the one who, leak this information out and they did it to take the temperature to, see what people were saying how they were feeling and they made the decision 24 hours later I'm sure they had an idea as to what they wanted to do to suspend him for an entire season but I don't want to give them all the credit in the world of being upstanding because I'm you Doak or Angstrom nobody over by himself.

The team in this family and that's that. So he apologized for or two as well as the fans of the Boston Celtics is also tricky situation and let's just be clear do I think he's going to come back. It's tough. If the Celtics stank are they gonna have the pressure on him to come back and savor model think so. If the Celtics just have more success go back to the playoffs.

Maybe they go to the Eastern conference finals are they gonna return him back if they go to the finals while they gonna bring them back knowing that they have not made a decision and it's impossible to do that.

But knowing that they have not committed to him pass this year after his year-long suspension. I don't think it bodes well for his ultimate return in the totally different case and this was due to on the field cheating up off the few cheating we saw Alex Cora have after take a one-year suspension from the Red Sox came back. What he didn't have anything to do with the Red Sox at the time it had everything to do with what took place with the Astros.

Everything about me you Doak or has to deal with the Celtics and it doesn't appear good chances don't appear good.

I think that he comes back to the JR sport ratio here with you on CBS sports radio. Speaking of returns, someone in the NBA actually played people were all waiting his return in Brooklyn after Philadelphia and it never came. It never happened. That's been Simmons. He sat down with JJ Reddick, the old man in the three podcasts and he talked about his exit from Philadelphia. He talked about his mindset and then he also left some questions unanswered were going to talk about that on the other side of the break, and leave the phone lines open if you want to give me a holler. I want to get Jack Stern's opinion. What's taken place with army would Delco and yes will will hear the words of men Simmons to see if he's telling the truth whether he's full of it is the JR sport ratio here with you on CBS sports radio. We started off the show talking about I meet Delco suspended for an entire year here from the Boston Celtics harsh penalty. Yes, sleeping with a coworker, a staffer you not supposed to do it. That's deserving of a punishment. In many cases is deserving of the just getting the boot in the Boston Celtics made it very clear that yes would Delco will be suspended for the entire year and for his long-term status with the team well will determine that at a later date and so I said that the penalty is harsh, but it's necessary if you want to eliminate distractions or the thought or the idea that Delco will return at some point the Celtics could be on a 10 game winning streak.

He supposed to just come back and take over.

Is that fair they could be on a 10 game losing streak. Is it fair to now expect him to come in and and be a Savior. It just it leaves a foul and bad taste. I think in everybody's mouth and so he made his decisions and now he has to deal with the consequences in all of this is obviously coordinated between he has management team. He apologized because not only did he potentially cook his career and he'll get another chance. Maybe somewhere else. He screwing up the potential of the basketball team supposed to be their leader and he screwed up his own relationship his own family life is one hell of a trifecta 855-2124 CBS is 855-2124 CBS want to talk you about been Simmons momentarily because been Simmons actually we know you money screwed up his career maybe gets her chance to turn things around were Kari Irving and Kevin to rent been Simmons spoke to JJ Reddick and I want to share that with you momentarily before I do that produce with us tonight Jack Stern I got ask you based on the suspension. Edward Oka has received no water your thoughts. Man will what you think. Why think it's completely unfair if I'm being completely honest, because what he did he didn't beat anyone. He didn't hurt anyone.

He didn't jeopardize anyone's safety and if the worst thing he did was go out and sleep with the team employee, which by the way is you attested to a little bit early in the show. A lot of people meet their girlfriend or boyfriend their future spouse it works out.

I don't think anything he did was completely different than anything else that anyone else doesn't you know it seems like there's kind of this double standard, especially in the NBA recently what we saw with the sons and Mercury owner where owners can get away with doing essentially whatever they want, whereas anyone who works for them, whether be the janitor or the head coach gets harshly penalized for any type of infraction and don't get me wrong I understand there's a massive difference between the owner of the team and the people who work for them. But if you gonna set the president you have to do it from up top, and I think the league needs to be a lot harsh, more harsh on every everyone for what they do after going to hand down penalties like this for an entire season. I thought it was overblown. Maybe I'm a little bit biased in the situation because I really like I made you Doak, I thought he was the next big time coach in the MBA still could be as potentially at one point but I just don't think it's right. I think he should've been suspended for a month should've been forced to undergo sensitivity training at least essentially been blackballed by the league for an entire season, and I feel really bad for the young guys on the Celtics Jason Tatum to Jaelyn Brown, the bench players. I mean he was kind of the glue that brought the team together in my opinion, and now they don't have them. I would be surprised if they underachieve this year. Well yeah well I think that especially if you take a look at the Eastern conference. There was a very high possibility that the Celtics would take a step back. They were necessarily expected to go where they went last year but I think it's important to delineate the fact that there is this the league and in the is that the teams this is a decision that the Boston Celtics wanted to go out and in hand down and this was something that they felt would affect their team going forward and they have the power in their right to do so. We know that there's a double standard.

I mean, when you sit all the way at the top of the totem pole when you own the whole shebang in the other owners of the want to hold you accountable.

Yeah you you get those scenarios are spent time a couple of days ago talking about sovereign's situation and really that other owners are Linda did not gonna come out with a hammer because they don't want to hammer to come back in and swing on them. So this this this situation. What I mean you'd Oka's is very unique.

You know he he broke a rule. This is something that's that's commonplace in almost every place in the United States of America. If you are in a position of power don't have a relationship with the people who work for you people do it. Yes, but it's risky as hell and when you're in a high profile job.

It was a high profile situation the wrists as to what could potentially happen or even higher, and so I am you'd Oka's is finding that out first in his heater first person to do this, hell no he's not, as you first want to get caught in such a major situation as a coach with a staffer in a case like this in the NBA. Yes. Yes he is coming this is this is commonplace just because it's commonplace doesn't mean that it's going to be permissible in and for the Celtics. They did what they feel that they have to do to kind of bring things back to normal as much as possible and that unfortunately was to at least four year, at least for year and maybe permanently still am.

You'd Oka go home stay home. We don't want you we don't 855-2124 CBS Don is calling from DC or CBS sports radio sub.Garber. I'm very well great Roger what amazed. "Thank you: from that that the great White North. Thank you for your required personal property of our grants and personal relationship adult character with workup and served. Not every company oligarchy construct the relationship between employers Circuit Court girl holds the most most don't want the people in charge sleeping with the people on almost all I would say go ahead record Riverview concert relationship with Aldrich of that would be followed for distribution of a couple books are available so will Don. How I don't want to split hairs, I think. I think we both understand most companies do not want the managers sleeping with the employees which it would you agree with that. You are no okay will ask I think you I think you get my point of forgoing many reasons. Most places do not want the bosses, the people in charge. Having sexual relationships with the people that they hire.

I think we understand why what else you got all the relationship with the secretary or will it work you reconstructed for your I never heard such a thing, and if he was to have a relationship with the secretary do I think he would or should be suspended for year. No, no, I don't because he's not in charge. He is not management. He's not in a position to hire or fire, is it morally the best for right thing to do know it's not. And so I don't think it's that the same situation when you have a head coach who supposed to be the leader of the whole shebang.

No. You don't know how the supervisor worked strongly back out rubber helper filtered supervisory position, who bet what if you click the report who eat food Oka well he's it's it's got blogging all it's it's it's very clear. He's the head coach right right. It was reported and said that he had a relationship with a staffer okay right. If you are the head coach. You are the top. The only person above you is the GM anybody else on is a staffer is below him. That goes without saying Garber organizational chart are not what will Don Don: please draft you committed not as you will.

Don II appreciate that, but I'm not.

I understand the weeds here, but if I have to think about a basketball team. Okay, I'm not asking you about, you know, every corporation and company and let them would talk about basketball okay.

He is the top guy on the basketball staff as the head coach is a reason was called the head coach okay I can tell you I haven't sat on sexual harassment boards and committees, but I have a very good understanding of the organizational structure of a professional basketball team. Please trust me on that. Okay he is the top and so whoever he had a relationship with its inappropriate for him to do so.

That's why he got the boot on your phone. I'll bump like a don't help but tell Paul I will not agree well and I'm not. I'm not talking about most places. I'm telling you about the NBA right right I mean this is not the this isn't the bread delivery service. This is showing Joe and blow you know mom-and-pop pizza delivery. This is the NBA regular article how to write work or culture of care. A lot of people have affairs all the time but I'm talking specifically about the scenario situation or will thank you.

No doubt I don't know how many different directions. Don wanted to go when we can give examples of everywhere I could talk about people having affairs all day to talk about different businesses all day.

When the goal is to win basketball games in the head coach isn't being the leader that you want him to be that you need him to be when the coaches going to be a distraction. It's on the Galway and I don't care what any company has one paper. We don't care if you have relationship most businesses I don't care. The people who own don't want people just screwing around. They don't want it, it's dangerous.

It's dangerous for the money. It's dangerous for the business is the last thing you need or want. Or for emotions or lawsuits to come and destroy business. What happens if whoever was sleeping when I may, you'd Oka says oh he fired me because I'm not sleeping with him anymore.

What happens when they get the beat up menace you open a Pandora's box, so let's not. Let's not lawyer rise and I made a moan word.

Let's not just beat the situation with the lawyers that let's use a little bit of common sense is a reason he got suspended and he makes all the sense in the world. The JR sport reassure you with your CBSSports radio will not take a break.
