The Drive with Josh Graham - Top 10 Beaches

Drive with Josh Graham 5 Castle Dr., there appears to be a North Carolina soccer war coming when it arrives. The Triad will literally be stuck in the middle combatants professional soccer powers that be in Raleigh have been angling for MLS for years with billion-dollar facility projects and rising then David Tepper officially threw his hat and Charlotte's hat into the race with the same goal in mind bringing MLS soccer to our state just in Charlotte rather than Raleigh. Now if it comes down to those two. I personally think Raleigh might be a better fit for soccer. I think soccer is bigger over there.

I think Charlotte is a little behind when it comes to the facilities having a standalone stadium in such but if MLS has its choice and MLS will Charlotte's going to get a franchise before Raleigh will Charlotte has most of what pro leagues will be looking for and specifically the MLS number one it's a corporate city. It's the ninth most populous city in the United States and it's continuing to grow.

It's a pro sports town got the Panthers got the Hornets heck you got the checkers there you have NASCAR there pro sports city that can easily work in one more post protein for all of us to follow in love, then you have the interest of an NFL owner, Tepper has been clear about this for a long time soon as he bought the Panthers he started talking about MLS as soon as he got to the Carolinas around this time last year. He wanted to hit the ground running and MLS was on his lips at the very first press conference he held with two or three buttons down. But remember he was wearing the sport jacket had two or three buttons down on the shirt and not only is he an NFL owner.

He's the NFL's richest owner who also owns the stadium, Bank of America Stadium Raleigh. Meanwhile, college sports market lower level pro soccer.

It's good to see that the national women's soccer league got a television deal, but there is still a lot of room for growth as the US women's national team is pointed out as is been pointed out for the last five years really, since the league launched, so there's a lot of room there for the North Carolina courage and Raleigh North Carolina FC which previously was the Carolina rail Hawks that's still lower level soccer and there really isn't one moneyman bear Steve Malik owns both the courage and owns North Carolina FC in order to get the stadium project through he's having to partner with other business owners. Partner with other investors. David Tepper doesn't have to do that.

David Tepper can show up with the money necessary right upfront, just like he did with the Panthers. He bought the Carolina Panthers 2.2 $2.3 billion in cash. What he did. He's worth $12 billion, more than any other owner in the late so of course the MLS would like to get in business with that guy and then figure out the rest of the details from there. Also Charlotte has hosted higher level soccer matches then Raleigh has now Raleigh's had professional soccer. Again, the courage, and North Carolina FC before that the Carolina rail Hawks and carry, but Charlotte just agreed yesterday to a five-year contract for the international cup, a five-year deal for the international cup and if you're unfamiliar with.

That is the cup it's been a feature the top clubs from all across the world, playing in the United States and specifically in Charlotte arsenal buyer Munich man United Intermodal on arsenal real Madrid, the gold cup a few weeks ago came to Charlotte, the United States played inside Bank of America Stadium. You might say, David Tepper, he's less of a soccer guy. Then say Steve Malik is and that might be true but David Tepper hired Tom Glick to be the soccer guy. He's the team president of the Panthers.

He has soccer background overseas. He helped land New York City and MLS franchise. So this is it is first go round. Tom Glick is a very important figure in all of this and he was meeting with reporters yesterday to talk about the international cup I just mentioned that five-year deal, but all anyone wanted to talk about was the breaking news that Tom Glick and David Tepper are set to be with MLS officials next week.

Here's what Tom Glick had to say Charlotte has been as many years you have reason to reason that we been able to do this five-year agreement with the ICC is because Alaska is so successful. So it's right that is, it's a safe bet is to know the fans are to turn up – support and I agree with that.

I think Charlotte will support and MLS soccer team Tom Glick is the soccer guy David Tepper is the moneyman. The one big hurdle that Charlotte faces the biggest drawback is this. It's the stadium MLS likes having teams with standalone stadiums pretty much all of the teams have their own stadium.

The exception being Atlanta United land United who won the cup last year when all of MLS they been a sensation selling out games in the same stadium that has been recently built for the Atlanta Falcons but is also hosted the Super Bowl this year and hosted the college football playoff championship the year before.

That's the home of Atlanta United, but what it Arthur Blank. He had bull because he's an NFL owner the same way.

David Tepper is Bank of America Stadium is already hosting international cup games that is attracting major crowds, the US soccer team playing their I think as Tom Glick noted there.

The Panthers or excuse me. Charlotte is probably one of the favorites to land and expansion. Not just one of the smaller players if it's between Raleigh and Charlotte I think it Charlotte for David Tepper for Tom Glick for the Panthers stadium etc. etc. but against the other competitors. I think Charlotte the favor to because it all goes back to who you're doing business with an David Tepper has more money than you do. And Tom Glick has about as much soccer expertise as anybody else was getting involved in these deals. You might wonder why all of this is happening now why Raleigh is pushing for a multibillion dollar facilities, multipurpose facility that will include a stadium in Southeast Raleigh what why that's happening Steve Malik pushing it in the last month or so, it should see around 20,000 people.

I think I read why is that happening why David Tepper wants to meet next week with MLS officials. The reason is simple. By July 31. The MLS is going to name two more expansion teams.

In addition to the 27 they already have. Now only 24 are playing right now. Next year were going to see three more teams added to the MLS. The most recent franchises LA FC Cincinnati Atlanta and in Minnesota but in the next few years working to see more expansion with Nashville.

Austin and Miami being added to the MLS.

Many people on the inside believe St. Louis and Sacramento are locks which means that leaves one more spot. Reportedly, Detroit might try to make apply in their other big markets that could be interested in this, but none of them have David Tepper support from an NFL owner with his kind of pedigree and Tom clicks prep pedigree that already host soccer matches. So I really do feel like this is bound to happen if it comes down to Charlotte, Raleigh, even though Raleigh's put more groundwork in over the years. It's small potatoes with the national women's soccer league and whatever the heck the North Carolina FC plays in David Tepper will have the advantage over Raleigh and it in time will tell. Maybe in the next few weeks whether or not Charlotte will be able to get the 30th expansion bid. If in fact the first two are going to St. Louis and Sacramento. Your thoughts are welcome on twitter at sports on triad 336-777-1600 if you wanted on the show. That way, Darren Vaught will join us as were Sharon with Darren that will be in a short while Desmond Johnson is taking her calls at 777-1600 we have Aaron in the house as well and we also have intern Olivia here just I want David Tepper to own everything. When I discuss everything everything I want them to buy everything is a radio station everything we loved by all.

I got I read the article David Tepper on ESPN.com yesterday. I think foam homepage for them and after reading I've had a newfound appreciation for moment we both like them before this but if he could bring MLS soccer team Charlotte build a soccer stadium for them that he owns also warmed by the hornets only to Emerald will be senior me.

I just wanted everything Tepper just bring it all in your can you do me a favor and see how much Steve Ballmer is worth compared to David Tepper Ballmer in the NBA owns the clippers and I know because I saw it earlier in the week. Steve Ballmer is so rich that he could purchase the net value of every single one of the top 15 most expensive NBA franchises and still have money left over. He's got it that Isaac Bradley how remember that's how rich Steve Ballmer is I don't know how that compares to David Tepper for hedge fund money versus Microsoft Money that looks like all I know is like you, I want some of it. The drive is brought to you in part by our friends at taiga speeds and more dry either the brand-new secret item. The Philly cheese steak pizza or the grand slam pizza and if that's not your cup of tea.

Neither of those things they have other terrific menu items like garlic knots New York style pizza specialty pizzas buffalo wings which I'm a big fan of salad sandwiches and also they have great desserts as well, including gelato and cannolis visit taiga speeds and more Louisville Clemmons Road and the Kinnaman Village Commodore, you can simply order online@taiga.com what you got on Steve Ballmer's net worth versus David Tepper's 12 billionaire so if David Tepper is worth $12 billion, according to Forbes, Steve Ballmer clocked in at number 19 on the Forbes list with a as of the 10th so just couple days ago or that today if today is that $50.6 billion wow grow so well.

You have Aaron, I'm sorry I asked about a car straight tears like two weeks ago and I thought I was doing good body Ballmer and up yes you are your direct all Ballmer home. No change or be in a ball or European Ballmer. Why are so many people charged up about Megan Ruffino.

That's next on the drive is 609 20 now drive with Josh Graham, Darren Vaught from the data going hold come to figure out what you like to ask you on the spot.

You know what this song sounds like All-American rejects, but I'm not. I'm not the immediately recognized it is All-American rejects swing, swing the name of the software and swing very. I will got to the chorus ice surely would have gotten throwback Indians and a bit because All-Star weekend is in Cleveland.

It's also the 30 year anniversary of the movie. Major league I look ridiculous. I have purple hair for the I love second I looked at are you read are you re-coloring it every day. Yes, and that's excellent because it's a it's held up. I was like man.

How did how did he get that the hold up. There are several hundreds in Rome. There are a lot of embarrassing elements to this such as me going to the baseball game. The – game last night and everybody just pointing, staring and laughing and also I kept the bottle in the studio, the first day Aaron went to go grab it in my office and I've never seen him so happy. Then he was when he raced into the studio right here in the Law offices of Timothy B. What were the studio brings it in to find that the brand that I got this spray at all to beauty in Greensboro was the brand was unicorn hair the specific collection was from the I think it was the lollipop color. That's what we were going for here we got a note to that's how you know it's legit right you like you're not just messing around. I was a 50s our clearance aisles of Walmart is that the respect for the dedication.

I think our bottle thing dollars you left that part out because it was that much for that little bottle 15 books. That's what it is you want to go cheap on Air Products this way. Well Ms. that's what I'm saying now I'm looking like Megan, repeating know I have great here on a mess around like a better looking version of your hair is brighter today.

By the way like it is a brighter shade of purple. In the past two days I'm I'm still concerned for you my friend, I'm a little upset that you're not wearing a jersey so I I jersey I went to I went to Dick's Sporting Goods and develops organs plenty of Mallory pews. No Megan or peanut ha I so I it's 2019 slide. When did when I decided I wanted to Megan Ruffino jersey did not go to a store and hit the old Internet and it was. I got one but I'm just gonna say it was disappointingly difficult for me to get a Megan Rubino jersey in a men's cut. It took a lot of effort for me to find that and I'm not complaining because like I said this to another person and they took it the wrong way, as it was me complaining that all will women did can get a football players jersey in a women's cutaway rest at what I'm complaining about I'm saying it should not be as taboo for a guy to want a woman's jersey and to want to wear it because that's the reason. It was hard for me to find it in a men's cut so I eventually went straight to the source US soccer and got one made no yes no that that person is the correct pronunciation. No, that's not Darren can make a soccer president did you guys are those Cordero at the parade earlier today butchering Megan repeating is okay so the players for obvious reasons, somewhat to very high levels of tanked right at this celebration tank. I don't. I think I think he was to because did you hear him when he pronounced the word tournament beforehand before that you might have in your letter. Let's hear the full clip and there was some conversation about the way Cordero said the word tournament here to finally last winner of the Golden Road. The torments and the Golden flare is tormented torments torments you by the guy.

Megan had no Mallory 20 yeah this girl third to know Megan, what's your name one more time.

Megan Megan just remember to call you purple time limit that time you scored in the world final France that was cool. Torments John guy sounds more like a little child in the first place. The most difficult left turn. I think we've ever done torments entire week. He'll in the news again as audio. The full 11 minute audio sound from his ex-girlfriend was released. Remember the Kansas City TV station ran short excerpts of things that Tyree kills said in relation to the accusation that he hope that he harmed their son. She alleged he broke his arm. Tyree kill broke the child's arm. In fact, I think we have the cut that the TV station played all those months ago. This is from this is what the TV station ran Tyree kill in a conversation this is happening overseas in an airport with his ex-girlfriend in relation to a dispute in 2014 to clarify, you need to be terrified and so that was the major piece of the clip that everybody gravitated to we didn't get the full 11 minutes. We didn't even get that brief audio right before that where he said I can't believe you would accuse me of this. Can't believe you would do this, accuse me of hurting my own son I would never do that. That stuff did not run because the TV station only had the brief clip and today in the full 11 minute clip of sound. We have more details and unlike the good the clip that was released earlier in the spring Hill vehemently disagreeing and denying what is being said by his ex-girlfriend about the dispute in 2014 again I refilled the snow is being recorded here. But this is another piece from that 11 minute recording line at night. We can rely on that night he was in my house and ended up not doing that. You know my son you crowned all judo judo to tell the truth. It's a tricky situation journalism.

I think let us all down here the release of the full tape is exoneration for Hill by any means of the imagination, but it might as well be because the police they stepped away from pursuing a criminal case against Hill. They reopen the case and then they stop pursuing a short while ago a few weeks ago. Now this helps Tyree kill because he can use the media slanting card. This was irresponsible journalism by the Kansas City TV station.

There has to be a better reason to not play the full tape what was said before, they didn't play the full tape because there were intimate moments in the 11 minutes that they didn't want coming out mature enough for going to the airport. They're doing things and there are some intimate conversations that are there.

But what was conveniently either left out by the woman giving the tape to the Kansas city TV station or the Kansas City TV station making an editorial decision not to run his Tyree kill protecting his innocence and saying that he didn't do these things and I don't care how much you dislike Tyree kill Darren.

This is something this this matters. This is denial is very important in the fact that that was left out before and now it's released. It strongly helps his case and I really believe he's good to be playing this fall and going to be intensity to scan. I don't disagree with that point. It's a bad look for the journalists involved and it certainly gives him an upper hand in in in what otherwise was a sort of neutral situation. I am interested in the idea that he pleaded guilty the first time around. It's tricky for a lot of reasons it and that's one of them to me in 2014. He pled guilty, which led to him being kicked off the Oklahoma State football team bought with three years probation. He had it erased from his record so deals are always cut here like this if he knew he accepted that plea that it could be wiped off his record after three years of probation that might be a deal you take maybe it's not as cut and dry as I say I'm guilty in the legal sense, therefore I'm admitting to doing everything that is alleged in the and I guess there's potential of a deal there.

But that's their again just it.

It's such a tricky situation and look I thought I would like to say I'm surprised that it a guy who is paid and trained to essentially be a tragic fleshy machine of violence and intimidation has conducted himself in such a manner because I think even eat whether he did abuse his son or not.

I think in the recordings there some some alarming language and things like that that are used. Something happened and it wasn't good but we don't know if you choke this woman or punch this woman.

We don't know that right we don't and that's why it's irresponsible journalism to selectively choose what runs I don't know again what weapon what kind of negotiation went in place between the journalists and the the woman herself, but details are very important and we need to raise the standard for journalism here. We're talking about Chris Broussard a little bit earlier on in the week. My God like you can't say clippers are out of your report or in any size the clippers. You can't do that this, if you're gonna be in this chair. If you're to be a radio host put the reporter stuff aside right you can't be a reporter and say something.

Somebody is out, and then he signs with that team. There should be repercussions for that in the same paper. This Kansas City TV station. They have answered they have questions to answer for why they laughed. Tyree Hills defense out of the recordings or the clips that were released publicly yes or in the mention earlier that they say that they just discarded some portions of the interview because they discussed quote intimate moments or in a same tweet about the same to your ribs symbol before that. She says the report of the that was on the on the story.

She says released the newsworthy portion. Yes, the newsworthy portions. The part where he said you better be bleeping scared of me to.

That's the newsworthy portion in the is a lot of the TV station. It is alarming but it's just as none of that. I didn't do it. That's the world we live in elbow. It's all shock value shock TV I'm not there jock headline not completely there yet. There are so many practice journalism well I'm not willing to say that's the standard at this point I'm not willing to say that everybody go out and Broussard and say that something is wrong say that some without inventive and then it not be offered in both scenarios to officially start events. Everyone said that those routes are no different.

Rose set for April 99% 99% and it might've been that, but he never said the clippers were out what and wrote the clippers rose also is not like a wound shut. The other thing is not the gooseberry. All he has to go on is the word of guys like loads and shams and up until a certain point, Broussard Broussard really being in that same category hold.

We need to lift the standard we do. There needs to be consequences for Broussard to be consequences for this Kansas City TV station for what they deem to be newsworthy excerpts and why the entire thing wasn't released, and specifically, Tyree kills defense you want to like him want to believe he's in the right believe is wrong, and expect journalists to do things the right way and that both sides are covered fairly. It's too much to ask.

I think I think there's a little bit more great here than you're letting on. I'm not.

I'm not apologizing for the TV station. I'm not really defending with the TV station is doing their job list is to to relay what is newsworthy and were all people world humans who think differently and feel differently about certain things this. This isn't like this isn't a a subjective, this this is newsworthy. This is not newsworthy.

Think there is like… I took like I was trained in journalism to and it's it and it's just not that easy. It's not as easy as hearing Tyree kill, defend himself and saying all that part needs to be played because some people might say you know what, of course you defending himself like it's that's the obvious thing to do. II would disagree because he didn't know he was being recorded. The man, this was a debate are an argument. Excuse me back and forth between the two and II think it's incredibly journalistically unethical for the fact that Tyree kills defense didn't come out there instead talking about him accepting what she claim by saying you should be scared of me to without having the prior contacts at play as well were listing off throwback Indians next live with Josh, and I am 4609 20), and thought with Sharon Darren. He is what we're about to do. It is time for weekly top 10 list.

This is one of our most polarizing segment. Just because somebody dislike something doesn't fit the entire thing that Christmas are worth of dryad. If you have it for the top top 10 feet to the summer top 10 pages. These are places that you should be visiting this summer if you're on vacation has no idea were going to Aaron a couple of gases he's gotten pretty good. It really all this people tweeting in the shower right now trying to guess what's on the top 10 list that's my problem with it is that I think it's ridiculous, but any time I'm in here with you guys and you're doing it.

I'd like I'm upset at how into it. I'm getting the way I got a few written down. Now that's not a second fit in with Josh thinking what everybody loves the top 10 list. Really though, it's so much fun to play along with and we've got this wonderful music within the background bit.

Aaron feels pretty confident, and one that he has. He's whispering to Desmond in the control room so there's a lot going on here. Let's just go straight to the music. Let's go all the way all is another thing just doesn't know it's become a there's no time for snuggling and warmed up for this going in the immediately top 10 number 10 number 10 Beach Haven Wrightsville Beach Grove was the first ever got an I also forgot that does is random sounds better to play throughout the thing number number 9B.

TY Hilton head. I TY Hilton head could really help your team should be a good year for the Colts.

I don't know how many targets Devon front this is going to take away from you. I don't remain to be seen.

Number eight.

My number Beach Atlantic division B. The Atlantic division beach is a lot better because you can agree on that right yeah but if you never know coastal division. Think about it and he say the code upset with girl from Nashville. The draft I just randomly I don't know number seven I really know what I'm talking about my number seven beach Kitty Hawk Harrelson Harrelson know I would rather not because that's it. Everybody sounds it's it's a lot like dude like you working summer collegiate baseball or minor-league baseball for one season every pressbox in the league or whatever whatever conference are constantly working in everybody everywhere. There's one guy like you should hear my Harry Terry and everybody in the press.

But Terry Terry and they all saw my number six, page Laguna Beach, we went to watch that show.

Did I just thought it was good to be at play on words he thought the work, play with because this game makes no sense. That was the show but over this Jordan the bachelorette. My level rode into the bachelor and bachelorette was to be that what I initially watch that show to have something to talk about with women it's true really, that's the first ever to mention on the beach year to year and through a little. I just woke up to a couple of women be like just like this, wait, hold on to back this up into a broader question and I know it's going to derail your list, but that makes because I have Ms. do that you take interesting things that you otherwise are not interested in you to have something to talk to women about. That was me back in the day.

I've gotten a lot better since this is back when I do like those things like when I was a kid. I did the same thing we got home from school and full house was on my little sister for watching and then I stay in the room and she eventually called me out of it. But what are you watching I became Mark Wahlberg. The other, how much you like it would be if you guys to like what you guys on my list all man island appropriate sound of what that was but it sounded frustrated that I would not where you want to mess around man I would be open for my number four beach Matt Maggie's head. I was trying to figure out what you do with nags head because it's an impossible, that would not quite matinee but I was trying to work I had met you.

I had to give you my number three beach beach. Please let me to believe there is happening all my number two beach tape Hatteberg have anything else you tape Hatteberg my number one beach that you should be visiting this summer.

Michael Jordan's bald head Island. No, no, I mean you can't get behind this bowl that I Michael Jordan called, why would I visit Michael Jordan's head that makes no sense know Michael Jordan's bald head. I found the old reality show summer Michael Jordan's bald head summer filing is currently Josh Hamilton Beach, Mary Jo the before and after you and and you pull me in with the good baseball that's good fan of how to keep Hatteberg know that Curry beach that I was certain.

Ryan says Ernie Outer Banks yeah actually had Ernie Outer Banks the segment running on Twitter you know you got it.

Blue Devil Hills. What is your favorite beach to visit the big Atlantic Beach Gaia spent a summer in Morehead city not Atlantic division coastal God notion Alfieri group coming to family, kiddos. I generally go to Myrtle Beach because that's where my sister lives right now my parents have a place out that way top of that, Wilmington.

That general area. Darren, I'm sorry I filled you with great I would describe it as rage pulls you in no but I'll get you an answer.

Should we think of Nickelback we need to figure out the answer. Thanks for being your buddy of course anytime next to topic them for management would prefer I stick away from this is the drive with Josh Graham, 609 23 days from the US national team's world when watching you or Instagram fee was a access her Instagram. Even just know she's filming one of her teammate eating a from the US women's national team's lawsuit and she's telling the camera and anyone is watching to pay us your and there's a lot of other cursing and there, which is why Dez can't play any of the sound bought with some discretion. You should watch what Ashlyn Harris is done and they're just having the time of their lives right now.

This US national team Darren Gant from Pro football talk.com now joining us every time we talk to Darren we would talk about football. Most times, but he's also a noted music fan as well since it's the summer what's the best show you've been to Rome worker wrote on Sunday night European CM theater here in Charlotte and what a great show.

Good atmosphere.

A lot fewer people than I thought it was great. Probably would've been a little better served in a smaller but the weather rolled in. Everybody got undercover guys mean somebody I'm quite a bit older than you grew up with the Allman Brothers on in the background to get it right now and it was before we get to the Tyree will update in the NFL, staying with soccer when when you look at how polarizing Megan repeat no seems to be right now. What do you make of it, estimated it would be for her to just be characterized as a loudmouth or an alkyd or a rabble-rouser like that but I mean if you stop and look at what she or listen to what she's saying in and watch the weight and it you know there were the viral video moment about the White House during the tournament. In the crosshairs a lot of people, but if you listen to her since she's done the lab last night on the cable news shows on a couple different at work. Her speech today was fairly eloquent and in the message was basically hey were not here to fight.

We don't want to fight every day. We just want to be treated fairly and I think if you get right down to it.

The fairness is at the core of this and I think a lot of people would have a hard time arguing with it.

I get frustrated sometimes as a result of my job. I will media a good portion of the day, well argued to be arguing people every now and what exactly is your opposition to being paid at the same level when they are a lot more successful and you know got a care about economic care about the things this is simply about wanting things to be the way you're comfortable with that. They've always been to change the order of thing soccer playing team on the planet.

And frankly, I respect the way they handle their business with American country was built on defiance. This country was built on individualism and I think when you look the way Megan Ruffino handle herself for the last couple weeks. She kind of embodied and for her to choose not to go to the White House and then to double, triple and quadruple down and how many times he has to down until ultimately, the teams not invited or the invitation comes at you turns it away when her to let you know Tom Brady convenient excuses. Every time he was granted without once when it was cute and fun and they were all up and everything than Tom tapping away thing around at the White House become part of that anymore mean they might still be friendly but you know I think is the leader of Mayor Tom knows what it would standing in the locker room looking at you the perfect person.

I think to talk to about the city of Charlotte. I grew up outside of Raleigh and I grew up in the in the minor league.

Let's just call it the grassroots soccer scene there with Castle and other things that are based there. I played a lot of soccer. Growing up, and I know with North. The North you want courage and worked on at sea and Steve Malik over there and the project they're trying to push forward a multibillion-dollar development in Southeast Raleigh that is in the works whether the MLS is a part of it or not, they really badly want to put something on the MLSs table that would be appealing to them to try and get MLS to Raleigh. Then we have what I think was inevitable from anyone who followed what David Tepper has said closely. David Tepper and his team president of the Panthers whose name slips my mind Tom Glick there to be there to be going to meet with MLS executives and push Charlotte's case now which semi-sounds like North Carolina soccer war if there's one place for the MLS to land a soccer franchise Charlotte or Raleigh. Who do you think the better fit is Darren or I would apologize about the triangle because we all David Tepper Rickert Pringle owner in the NFL years invited relative he would be the richest single owner in MLM and I think that when you're still talking about a league that is making money based on the television right contract. They want somebody got that kind of bankrolling and it makes program to have somebody like David Tepper in their club who knows how to do business and how to turn undervalued commodities into remote greater value commodity, so it feels almost inevitable. But I that with the arrogance of a Charlotte Ian that is so often put up about people in other parts to meet you look like a no-brainer. I mean the only advantages I can see all of the article is if they are committed to build a soccer specific MLS would prefer, but will find a dealbreaker if not having to play in a Kharkov Bank of America Stadium is that important to them that they would turn away guy. We significantly more resources seems like straight business decision for the late United States played in Charlotte, Bank of America Stadium and the golden cup a few weeks ago, the international cup deal got done yesterday, a five year deal was announced by Tom Glick and he was meeting with reporters about it since you live in Charlotte. How much of that and you think there is for MLS soccer demand and to be honest with you with the Charlotte Hornick on the direction they're going who are interested in having tickets to a sporting event. You know, I think it looking even more attractive to be really cheaper than NBA game shorter-term commitment and frankly the product can't be any worse than what we're about to see in the NBA right now. Thanks, Michael YIII think there's a significant market. They have Happy's international game and drawn know at least one of these for a couple matchup you haven't been great people in the building for Liverpool had a bunch of people in the building provider in Munich even though they basically brought the beach theme a couple years ago it turned out pretty well this year Arsenal Georgina which isn't quite the marquee matchup. A lot of people were hoping for, but I think part of the I think part of what you'll see my vision is by finding that five-year deal with the IPC bill started get a little better traffic. There you'll see some of the bigger clubs from Spain even rolled through it.

To be a part of this thing so good market locally soccer running minor league soccer and MLS by the international standard still like the best domestic league in the world. I mean, it's not the standard you're in the field Saturday morning in the car merely thanks NBC sports network Bob all you think there's a market and in all the internal talk have heard from those guys. They will have a season-ticket base that could push 30,000 and doing that and I think the idea of parking off part of a football stadium which is going to shrink anyway. When you renovate that place go away, down from 73,000 feet were closer to 65 and I think that almost taken up in season-ticket more palatable to understand soccer want to grow their own deal not be beholden to the football Masters but also want more dates and is building you want more you want more stock than just in football games a year and a couple of stray bouldering with us from pro football talk.com on Twitter at Darren Gant. Let's get to Tyree kill a few about a month or two ago. It was in April Kansas City TV station released a portion of a recording that was done without Tyree kills knowing it was his ex-girlfriend and exchanges they were passing through airport security and data exchange included after the woman alleged that Tyree kill broke their sons arm. He he and she said that he was terrified of his father. Tyree said that he should be in that you should be to essentially paraphrasing a little bit but in this clip we we didn't get the full 11 minute recording because this is from the Kansas City TV station.

They were only concerned with the quote newsworthy portions and didn't want to order the rest, including intimate moments. They called it plot in the 11 minute clip we see adamant denials from Tyree kill that wasn't in the initial recording and we see adamant denials that he harmed his son and also harmed the woman in 2014, despite the fact that he pled guilty to those charges got kicked off the Oklahoma State team and in those charges were then wiped away from his record after three years of probation. I only paint that entire picture to ask you this. What does the release of the 11 minute tape likely mean for Tyree kill and would begin the whole thing by saying this is our regularly reminder that we don't know these people and no one knows what happening behind the doors of other people out. This is a complicated situation.

Has he been a perfect boyfriend father, maybe not what she trying to set them up by secretly recording something in trying to trap him and I don't know their ugly possibilities.

I know it's a terrible situation or child to grow up in. I think it's a really complicated situation.

Let's start here.

Let's start you what you make of the journalism audit for something that you are an absolute expert in journalism from the Kansas City TV station to leave out the denial. Yeah, I mean I plan I guess would be the shortest way to say it.

I'm all for transparent and that usually means all of it, not the cart you like yeah it's uncomfortable the way they handled it and I don't know. After the immediate shock value. They got out of that clip early on, I think that thing away from here and the whole thing the other day but it's really complicated situation for the unit fell because all there may not be charges. They proven that they're willing to spend people without charges but you hear different soccer people who are connected incredibly saying they might not charge him and I and I think that's a terrible work anyway because if you go back to some of the other situation regularly and a couple other ones where Rogers got it right alone without the cop alongside and it's uncomfortable.

I think it's okay to be Steve Galvani entire situation. To be honest with you I thought back to using Robin is one of my favorite people to come through Charlotte Dean obviously had to situation it all in Atlanta when he was shortly after receiving a man of the year award, and was always really open about that when he came Charlotte late in his career and in the thing he said that will only equip me is a different difference between innocent and righteous. Every kill may not be guilty of anything, the law may not be able to pick him of anything that doesn't mean he has to play football and I think at a certain point, even though the league has proven itself clearly incapable of administering justice over the years, I wouldn't. I mean, is personal opinion I wouldn't have a problem. Tyree kill not only to watch football this year with some degree of pattern of behavior here, no matter how you look at it and it's a coupling relation. Yes, with this one and again beyond football and in a training camp coming up next, we'll focus on, but that entire tape. I just thought all my God what a horrible moment today when this child of the toilet that result. Wills would surprise you for how this ends up at no punishment would surprise me.

It's almost like at this point so much as been said and there's so much heat on this thing. But when you look at good at the track record of the can keep them in court.

The impression of middle America, wholesome values between who taken more chances are more character risk than practically any other team in the NFL and they just gave Frank Clark a gigantic new contract and pray car came into the league under his own clouded vision troubling for me to see the same team doing it over and over again and it would bother me, I think, to be honest with you to see them go unpunished for this for me when I was killed on the field is one of the players in the NFL.

That much we know. Does he deserve the right to play in the NFL simply because he can't be proven legally liable and I yeah I'm not very good, very down.

It's good to hear your voice, and shall be catching up sometime soon with you As you mentioned right around the corner. Think right around the corner off the big element week of the NFL calendar for NFL writers will know this Darren know this will be in your town next week. ACC kickoff is in Charlotte. It's crazy to think it's all here.
