Rich reacts to “the dumbest rumor” he’s heard in his two decades of covering the NFL: that Tom Brady took a leave of absence from the Buccaneers to film the new season of ‘The Masked Singer.’

Pro Football Talk’s Mike Florio and Rich discuss how Deshaun Watson and the NFL came to their 11-game suspension settlement and if the embattled QB’s refusal to admit any wrongdoing could lead to a longer suspension, Tom Brady’s mystery absence from the Buccaneers and how the team has bungled it from the get-go leading to wild speculation about his availability for Week 1, says if the 49ers will trade or release Jimmy Garoppolo before the season starts, why the Chiefs’ offense could actually be better without Tyreek Hill, and if the Rams should be concerned about Matthew Stafford’s lingering elbow issues.

Rich weighs in on Deshaun Watson’s 11-game suspension and the Browns quarterback’s problematic refusal to admit any wrongdoing.

How are you ready to you that you and it's all good punch three hours, TJ Jefferson look at you when you turn on your microphone. You might say that you got my IP's not working so I can hear anything but be here with you. It really is.

Is that why Dan is here my my work and I doubt that. Good to see you over there so it's good to see what I can hear very about cost us back a little out of pickup a little louder 844204 which is the numbered here on this year program working to start the show. We dumbest rumor I've heard in my 20 years of being in the NFL dumbest rumor I've ever and it's all over, twittering, and I felt the me I felt the meat actually address it. It involves Tom Brady, who is not in training camp not quit the team. The teams playing the Tennessee Titans. They been practicing with the Tennessee Titans and this game is going down in the preseason and Tom Brady's not planing and the reason why is he is taken a leave of absence from the team for personal reasons that the team says has nothing to do with the health of him or his family. Thank God for that, but it's a personal departure from the team at the teams that was planned which is kind of weird that you just wait for him to not appear on consecutive days and then you let it loose it's just it's not it's it's not normal it's not normal that a player leaves training camp for planned personal reasons, but then again Tom Brady is a unicorn of we've never seen anybody like him before we most likely will never see anybody like him again a 45-year-old who comes back from retirement because he still one of the best in the sport, a 44-year-old who retires and leaves people saying why you doing that it's it's so rare.

So if he did plan with the team. Hey, I need 10 days off during training camp and I don't want to play in preseason action makes sense because there is no template there is no precedence.

There is nothing we've ever seen before that some team can say okay you know we did it for so-and-so or we saw that happen before. So that's why all of us in the NFL media community and all the fans can understand why it's happening. Don't know why it's happening. We have no idea why it is happening and Todd Bowles yesterday said that this is still open ended doesn't know when Brady is going to return and that's again something that you don't normally hear at all. He was noncommittal about his Brady's return to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers will Siebold said on Thursday. We'll talk about it next week. Not concerned about her right now. Try to practice against Tennessee and play a game because he said earlier that it would be sometime after Tennessee so he repeated dialogue I told you, Brady would return sometime after Tennessee.

There is no definitive date for me but will check on it will keep in touch and will find out now. There have been really some crazy rumors surrounding this and we don't traffic and that sort of stuff, but there's one I have to mention here on this program that is out there that is again the dumbest rumor I've ever heard. The bold statement since coming to this NFL only world with the NFL network are mentoring season 20 with them. Congratulations on that it will be the 19th anniversary of the advent of NFL network coming up in November and I dumbest sports rumor. Overall, because the dumbest NFL November.

Since I started doing this NFL network thing since I helped turn the freaking lights on for NFL network. The dumbest and the rumor is you don't normally traffic can only swim in these waters, but we we are going to go swimming here. I wanted to go cannonball into this one that Brady has left camp says this rumor.

That's all over twitter. He is left of the team. He is not with team let me repeat this is not with the Buccaneers after coming back from retirement because according to this rumor.

Tom Brady is currently here in Los Angeles shooting the latest season of the massacre. Rumor I have ever heard and I I I need to when I get home I need to sit down my children.

I need to send Xander down Cooper and Taylor. All three of them and say which one you started this because the ones who are always thinking the most famous person of all time is the one who was about to have the mask revealed, so this sounds like it was made up by one of my children how out of him, saying, this is that Tom Brady would feel compelled to what live up to a contractual obligation. There are so many crazy rumors around the mass singer that he's signed a covenant that deal he signed with Fox that there is some fine print that he does is he he has to for his money that's coming in future years, whenever that starts, he must in what could be his final year as a quarterback in the NFL leave training camp not say why he's doing it and the reason why he says he's doing his personal reasons and the reason why he's not talking about it is because he wants to make sure America is shocked when he takes a banana and often right needs to do it for Nick Cannon not Mike Evans. Okay. How insane is that McCain is hilarious.

Hey man, pretty funny. Gotta make sure Ken John is guessing. So I'm gonna leave the box all my teammates when Brady is established as one of the greatest gamers within his own locker room on his own team. Yeah, Lamonte David, you're coming back for your injury. I'm just gonna go skating to Los Angeles to make sure Nicole sure his anger is In the.callous, stupid can this possibly how much do we want this to be true. Chris, I want this to be true, maybe more than anything right now and support the rich. Allow me to indulge for second just assume all of this is true right. Brady's taken time off and is said to them, this road now dumbest rumor ever.

Okay, but what character is you get a B in the massacre like he wants to show more than me so is he going to be like the parent or the frog. I saw this monster got Chris, if you really want to have this road if I am so sure of this, that even if the next season of the mass singer has a goat costumed singer. I still want sliding which by the way they better have a goat on the planet. Okay, so he's the go right what song is he going to say stop.

Here's the deal Babette black sheep have you any will excuse me guys to guide you got anything like Margaritaville. Here's the deal.

Please please please please please stop stop guys. I understand you're having fun here, I get it you're having fun here, but not to rain on everybody's parade. Well, you're about. I'm going to the reason why he's doing this must be so serious. Okay, I'm sorry to bring it all down. It has to be so serious for him to do this. I'm concerned for him. Whatever's going on in his world has to be that serious. Now hopefully I am wrong, but this guy I get it. Given days off in training. He's 45.

You want to make sure he still has every shot to be the Tom Brady that we all expect him to be and that's one of the more remarkable aspects of him coming back is that he puts that on the line every day every snap, every press conference he's got a standard and if he doesn't hit it.

Then he gets the dreaded well he shouldn't of done it, which she has navigated those waters to perfect action this long, but the fact that he is not playing the game. Understandable.

Janet, the absence though makes no sense.

Mass singer my ass I'll be a donkey coming out singing. I, could appear mass singer you are Tom Brady and I will add Tom Brady and I will add Tom Brady. I'll announce it best at her.

I'll announce it on this program I will add Tom Brady to the list of of of a list big time celebrities who will never appear on the mass singer that my children swear will be revealed when they take it off the mask that I told them if it is Lebron James, Beyonc and Obama any of any of even Sasha name on Obama name the number of times that I heard from my children is about to go that's Barack Obama and I told him any Obama, Lebron James, Beyonc, they get a crisp $100 bill for me. Now you can add Tom Brady to write like that, but Doug Grant did it wrong.

Did it after playing season they were in the Super Bowl. He flew back with me from the chief that's right yes if the threading back with me from the Chiefs versus 49ers Super Bowl IB or when it I forget we were definitely go. He's a big man. He was big chair next to me anywhere that he wouldn't tell me what he was, therefore, but I knew it. Certainly when some guy who had no singing abilities, 16 feet tall showed up on the mass center. Brady won't give Ms. time will be back later.

Chris shook his dreams so sorry. Believe me, sorry, you gotta tell them the hard truths: tough love are either got that off my chest actually hated this morning about dumbest rumor. In the two decades I've been doing the NFL.

Only thing on NFL network so that today's program let's let's let's get a little bit more in the world a lot.

I will ask Mike for what he thinks is up and on top of all that. How did the DeShawn Watson settlement occur and does it stick does the settlement stick if the guy who said yes to the counseling and yes to the release of his statement saying he takes responsibility and apologizes for it. If that guy then comes out and says yeah I'm completely innocent. I didn't even disrespect anybody. The only reason why I'm apologizing is because people got triggered so does that mean to me NFL add more games. So what what what is a listening Bruce Lovins here in studio college football's right around the corner will be here in studio our number two a. What's more likely going down here today Chris Brock when you've got a what's more likely with a full slate of preseason on everything outlined you have roster implicating action member that has to do with this weekend's games are yet to preceded TJ Jefferson you got the guest Grab Bag I do and I think this is going to create some country. Okay, I'm pretty sure that's what you're known for that.

Your brand like to be Mr. controversy as I got it. I'm wearing a shirt I'm looking at you know the look on the lighter blue than the other lawyer on the week. At the same bar Brown that's lovely. I like the other veterans that's highfalutin to say does not yet, although I've never heard that word before actually matches direction we need, we need some type of music you play. When I have time zone but a great let's take a break here analogizing shall let's take a break Mike Florio Pro football talk lobby starts the NBC Sports on Peacock lineup every day when he comes back. Mike Florio will join us 844204 Rich noted islands are the retries ensure terrestrial radio network.

Great friend of the program through them have back here on the Mercedes-Benz man's phone want to talk about everything going on in the world of the National Football League that he so expertly covers on pro football talk.com and Pro football talk live right here on NBC Sports on Peacock on the rich Isaac show back again on the Mercedes-Benz man's phone log Mike Florio. I don't like doing great but area. I am doing great. Let's jump right into it with both feet. How did the best you can tell the resolution between the league players Association, DeShawn Watson, well it was a week ago right now. I wouldn't dissipating appeal, Dr. Peter Harvey would potentially drop the hammer on a four year suspension keeping DeShawn Watson from playing last Friday night in Jacksonville and the preseason opener and it was right around this time, maybe an hour or two from now that someone said to me hey there talking settlement Peter Harvey isn't going to rule doesn't want to rule until the two sides had a chance to work this out and out was the first tangible since we had that even at a time when the NFL had everything it needed and had exactly the ammunition from Judge Robinson ruling to impose whatever suspension it wanted to impose.

That was when we backed off from thinking that I suspension was coming, something more than six games much more than six games and then it trickled into Monday Tuesday Wednesday now along the way.

We had the Friday night interview of DeShawn Watson with the deed to kick a ball up in the team hotel in Jacksonville where he apologized to the women he impacted with his behavior and it felt like an effort to throw in olive branch to the NFL to show that he was ready to concede he was ready to accept responsibility with abandoning the talking points that I didn't harass and he wanted to disrespect anyone. I didn't assault anyone in his lawyer saying all along that all the women who were accusing him of wrongdoing relying that they were backing off from that in the hopes of reaching some sort of an agreement so that he wouldn't be out for the entire year and as the week went on they finally got to a point where they they found a cup of middle ground OR conspiracy theories about how to get to 11 very simple union with Doug and it can lead with Doug and at 12 and it's not like you can negotiate half of games is not like he shows up at quarter of the week 13 game against the tech condemning you to have to pick a number and date 711 and I think he acknowledged yesterday in his willingness to pay the fine was part of the way to get back on the field more quickly hire fine.

Let's games, more games, lower fine. He was willing to pay. Basically half of what he made last year by not playing to get back after 11 game starting with that simple. And for whatever reason the leak didn't want to issue a ruling didn't want to invite a federal court battle, just wanted to be over and move on. So this is not my first rodeo.

Nor does your server so normally when this happens when the league and a player come to a settlement like this in the league gets sturdier discipline than originally scheduled or announced the player involved must admit wrongdoing must say something along the lines of I am sorry for what I did. I will address it.

I will come back a better person and I accept what I did and Watson did accept responsibility in a written statement and did say he's gonna come back a better person in a written statement and did say the exact opposite.

When a live microphone was put in front of him. Mere minutes later.

What is a league do about that.

Do you think like that great question and now the league and said nothing about it. I would suspect that there were some four letter words uttered at 345 Avenue yesterday not park correctly cannot park part of okay so involved in the last letter that that's about it. I can imagine are happy with it and I've seen people push the notion on behalf of DeShawn Watson's representative that this is like any other settlement.

Nobody admits to wrongdoing in a settlement with your standard civil settlement your standard civil settlement doesn't include an obligation to have an evaluation and treatment.

How in the world is evaluation and treatment can mean anything you want them and try to play out how this look, he shows up in the evaluation and either I did nothing wrong, even here, treatment will you treat me for I stand on my innocence, I don't need any treatment.

I do know how you even begin to comply with that aspect of this agreement.

If he refuses to abandon the notion that he did nothing wrong and that is very troubling to me it and look for people give second chances, but you don't want your second chance. You acknowledge that you screwed up your first chance to qualify for a second chance. He still stuck on. I didn't do anything will then why did he agree to agree to because he knew he was in checkmate and this is only way out. I just wonder if that's with the NFL anticipated when they agreed to this and if they knew before yesterday at noon that this is how he was going to deal with it what they have just pulled the offer imposed suspension and feel free to want to continue the professor innocence.

We found that you're not innocent Judge Robin about this written the union wanted to league to accept Judge Robinson ruling.

She found that he did but he did so how can they reject that.

Now that's with amazing so to me coming up his suspension at some point like is it possible that you know you come on the show late October early November and I ask you, what's the update on this and you're like your sources say therapy didn't go very well and the league's thinking of keeping amount longer arming is that possible I possible and that's something that you got my guide to tweeted yesterday that if he doesn't comply doesn't get reinstated. He got the comply, and will we ever know. I don't know you when he comes back press conference Mary Kay capital plain dealer who was very quick to pounce on his failure to accept responsibility for great follow-up question from her. She did the press carpet. I want the first question she asked if do you still stand on your innocence. After going through evaluation and treatment. Do you still stand on your innocence and because you will know for what what was the point of it and it will imply at that point pretty clearly really didn't care. We just want to get this over with getting back on the field and move forward. And if when he does come back.

Instead, you got that question. He says I regret what I said. I learned a lot.

A little about myself. I learned a lot about how to interact with others and I'm now equipped with the tools to avoid these kind of problem in the future then it worked, so that will be the ultimate litmus test and the one litmus test for that is that even come back.

Do they allow him to come back and if they mean what they say and he fails to accept responsibility and get nothing out of evaluation and treatment.

Why would he be back at all. So this story isn't over yet rich and it's entirely possible we get to December and we find out that the league has not agreed to reinstate Sean Watson. I don't know what happened at that point I was standing.

The union would have to create a federal case literally out of it, but it would probably be backed up by some records from whoever they hired to do this evaluation and treatment. It was pointless because he just sat there over and over again thing I never asked anyone.

I never thought of anyone I never disrespected anyone just depends on whatever the appointed Dr. Mel Siesta say you know I mean we have no idea that that's down the road. Is it possible lesson for you on the subject matter. Dr. Mel Sopranos on so what, what put your your your legal hat on here counselor. Is it possible he still has some sort of exposure he's been told he's had some sort of I guess it's the wrong work he has some sort of legal problem if he if he accepts responsibility through his verbal response yesterday because there's one last lawsuit hanging out there is great point of observation because the bill has one cake left and anything you say can and will be used against you. The admissions of a party opponent are always admissible in court. It's not hearsay if it said by the person doing the suing or who is been sued excellent point that just don't say anything just don't say anything why are you saying anything here trying to thread the needle where he says enough to placate the NFL get them do the settlement but then he reserves the right to say I didn't do anything. No reason to talk yesterday and I'm not entirely sure the Browns knew he was going to say what he said when they put them in front of a microphone. Sometimes the best PR is no PR why not just let the press release and the statement that was tweeted by the brown traditional water, why not let that stand and let's see how it goes over.

Let's see if people are clamoring. We need to hear from Sean Watson. Maybe we wouldn't said we need to hear from you. Maybe we would've understood as a reason why not talking instead they put him out there and into Barry to GM and Haslam, and I do think that whole exercise made everyone look worse made the situation worse.

It would been far better to just say nothing and rely on the written documents, loyal principal talk here on the rich eyes and show what's your thoughts on what's happening with Tom Brady in Tampa. In his absence. There like I'm conflicted about this rich because on one hand I want to respect the fact that there's apparently some real personal issue that is causing him to be on this hiatus, it is now eight days with no definite end in sight. Todd Bowles yesterday after bad for him. He caught the middle of this and he can't commit to a day when Tom Brady can come back. It's just straight with everything about Tom Brady. Right now is unprecedented. Everything is 45 years old is starting quarterback at over 5006 it is good as ever.

He's even deeper into his life than any high-end quarterback is ever been his family get the part we got a kid in high school like he's juggling all sorts of stuff but but I balance the idea that he's entitled to his privacy with the fact that he lives a very public life. He embraces his public life. He actively utilizes social media to capitalize on that publicity and sell crypto and underwear and anything else he's pushing at any given moment, and he become more and more active in leaning into a public life. How do you just ghost everyone for a week and 1/2.

Why not post something on social media to give people an idea because the curiosity continues to get more and more out of control. It is a situation that invites speculation because we don't know what's happening.

Speaking of bad PR.

The Buccaneers of bungled this thing from the get go. They have done Brady no favors without a panel and now we just sit back and when CP shows up next week so it's a weird situation and it leads to math finger vacuum have to be filled with something like five I actually started my show with because to me it's just so off the charts ridiculous that Brady even if it was contractually obligated from the do a cassette fox contract he signed to basically sing on the training Guys you understand.

So that'll be it. Go find somebody else you know find Tom Jones go find another Tom and I know I'm really dating myself just there, but Marcia Brady go find another Brady goes to find somebody else.

I mean, it makes no sense that he would do that but you know I guess with each passing day that were filling the void comes that the concept of I got I guess somebody other than Brady Kyle Trask starting game one against the against the Cowboys on Sunday night football, I don't see that happening unless the personal reason is so significant that it lingers that long then I hope that everybody's healthy you know. But I still yet to go. Frederick Stroud reported over the weekend that I cannot help.

An idea that a preplanned absence for personal reasons, with no firm date for returning like what in the world. Could it be what it be, and is there reason to think he's knocking to be back for week one.

I don't think so. Yet right, but who knows and pay rent for the same reason that if Kyla Murray doesn't play well this year Robin to say I am that should've been 10 hours in a contract.

Therefore, if Tom Brady struggles going to say the laundry done. Well that's what happens when you take a hiatus from training camp and you are gone for two weeks and you not get ready for week one so it puts more pressure on him that first game of the season come out look like Tom Brady become that look like Tom Brady that night. The training camp absence will be completely forgot sorry to hear the rich eyes and show so I guess we are to do this right. My hand is 12 days from the Jimmy garrotte below witching hour.

You know like this is going to happen and a good fancy name Jimmy garrotte below. Witching on the right because I guess the next three days of games if all the quarterbacks that play the starters that play emerge unscathed. It looks like garrotte below will just have to be released on the 30th right is at the where were currently looking at things entering the biggest preseason week of preseason. My question August 30, the day the rot. However, Jimmy garrotte below $24.2 million base salary does not become guaranteed as a practical matter until 4 PM Eastern on Saturday, September 10 so they carried him on the 53 man roster while waiting for lightning to strike somewhere else. Between August 30 and September 10. I think it was in that window when Teddy Bridgewater's ACL in the imploded six years ago and consider this as a regular-season game on Saturday, September 8 and I want to jinx anybody. I'm looking to name names, but is only two starting quarterback connecting if something happens on those two guys you get Friday, September 9 to work out a trade and for Jimmy garrotte below who has every reason to wait for lightning to strike as well because he gets closer to 25 million than the league minimum. If someone develops an urgent need for services.

I will, I would wait till September 10 and then the question becomes what they see desperate enough to get traffic compensation for garrotte below that they would actually carry him beyond September 10 and I owe him $24.2 million guaranteed for the year. No matter how long they keep them and just hold onto them through the trade deadline and hope that they could maybe unload them and get something before then. I can imagine they would do that but will see say I made it clear what they're doing. The question is how committed are they to effect the drive to fake house out on then happens with the Snoopy and prickly date stamps to horses in the solarium and the second solarium. What how how committed are they pushing this thing to limit Mike Florio here on the rich eyes and show all I'll just open your your notebook. What what else is of interest to you for let you go into your preseason weekend. What what is sticking across something that we should know about something that's on the radar screen make a smarter anything like that honey Watson and Brady account sucked all the oxygen out of the room but I get a bunch of preseason games and you circle the spots where quarterback are is either new to it.

Preseason approach play like we used to understand cameo appearance week one little bit longer.

Week two half of the game.

Week three and then all the starters are gone per week. For now, we never know it's a news item for every team is starting to play the do not reply unfastened by the Chiefs.

I'm fascinated by the post Tyree kill Anthony often started playing 1/2 tomorrow in the game can be on a phone network against the commanders and it's a good game to have on pattern of the company for a hat. When you remove the guy who command extra attention everywhere he goes. How does your offense operate when you're not devoting added resources to trying to neutralize Tyree kill and Patrick on getting the point, his career when he walked up the line. He knows just by looking at the defense which guys going to be open. Yorty start your progression before you even have the ball. You can tell based on his luck. My first read knocking to be there better think about my second better think about my third at some point, you can get that part where you get a supercomputer in his brain from everything the scene and his physical skills will still be good enough that you have the best of both worlds that accelerates when you don't have a guy like Tyree kill to be good test to see where they are because yet again to spread the ball around. You know what you knocking to have that one guy that's making it easier for God to pop open because that extra safety isn't going to be lurking to maybe pick well he will be lurking because you knocking dictation Tyree kill around. Maybe Scott Moore could be that takes the top laws every now and then.

Obviously no one Tyree kill Dennett, but I think the idea that that that the diversity, the diversification that that there's many different Ghanaian MVS and juju are no slouches right and and then you've got this Justin Watson kid that's getting a lot of attention on I'm I'm I'm thinking that you shouldn't want to be in the all right, and I have had speed as well and an possibility old addition by subtraction Tyree kill with being enough of a pain in the but behind the scenes as evident by his own comments from it. It needed to be said podcast about how he was complaining about his lack of touches a lot of receivers were looking at what Cooper Was doing last year and everything while I get the ball more.

I can get those headlines to I could be on track to break Calvin Johnson's records and Jericho got the ball a lot and wanted it more than he was getting it at a certain point, it skews your authentic your quarterback is looking too long and too hard at one guy instead of going through his reads, you really do keep the quarterback from being as good as he can be. So maybe the offense will be better as weird is that it even about saying maybe the overall offense will be better without without Tyree kill and that's a good one will ask you out the door.

Mike Florio just mentioned Cooper cup the rams a defending Super Bowl champs opening up on September 8 and what's your level of concern or how much we should be paying attention.

Matthew Stafford stone anything right when it reached a fever pitch a couple weeks ago and they were bringing in baseball experts try to figure it out. There is a real sense they did know what was going on he didn't throw it all in the off-season had an anti-inflammatory injection any still with having issued notice anytime, so whatever they did seem to work, but with the rams. I'm really wondering because you get to the end of the season and you defense coordinators who look at the things that embarrass them and Cooper cup performance embarrassed a lot of people last year. How aggressive will defenses be in taking away Cooper cup and what will the rams have the pivot to visit Allen Robinson is at the running game it on the Super Bowl. Cooper Cubberley wasn't doing much it was going to be Odo Beckham Junior day for the LA ran until the ACL went in the Bengals are doing a good job of keeping Cooper cup from destroying them. I just wonder how much that playbook translates to this year and what can the rams pivot to crop is kept in check and doesn't have the kind year had long that person about Stafford to play without Tyree killing Kansas City. If Cooper cup is covered where's the opening for Matthew Stafford to get the football questions Chris and Mike since you were going to be on the massing of your cost and what song would you sing my God I am proud to say I don't know anything about the mess I've never watched it right.

Your kids are older now right but even then, then II would like.

I will, I hope that it would not be family bonding time watching the massing I've just seen clips about it. Some of the clips I've seen horrifying so I'm glad that I don't know and I I would be stunned if Tom Brady ever shows up on the mat thing is an hour in the future please leave you traffic and that sort of stuff's christening was this man's time is one more minute was I know I get it good publicity for the mat finger because now I thinking out, what am I missing I can have an intelligent conversation with people about the massing of I don't want to know Chris all the episodes just for you may be Brady will show up in his costume is met Patricia so you patriots fans know that somebody is in charge of the offense that you trust about that one go.

Mike, thanks for the call. I would right back at you Mike Florio. Everybody in pro football talks like oh my God, he's in the met Patricia cost Take it off its Brady, a patriots fan so I guess met a black eye giveaway a patient since all good man. Brady's call in your place is full really like as is amazing amazing and odd way for Brady to get back to New England, come on home. Tom 844204 which is the numbered all your phone calls Bruce Feldman's making his way to the studio to talk some big time college football at their NCAA's breaking up over football will be checking with him shortly. Brett in California.

Let's get Brett on the rich. I wasn't sure what separate all I can yeah I got it, and exploding the last three weeks of violent counsel in California.

I battered an attention program and the Tucson you know absolutely accountability and my experience with men who consent to the program need to be there. Take some time 8 to 20 got have an aha moment to realize because we train them complete general training stuff and I know that you interviewed him and said good night sky is a nice guy but you can train some egregious behavior, and he can but you got accepted and I don't get any of that in his statement yesterday and all I know and I don't know but he's still saying what he saying, consistent one civil lawsuit out there in somebody's time. You cannot when you get in front of a microphone say at all that you accept responsibility for the sort of thing. I don't know because that's the only you know reasonable explanation, but you can tell me if you said in your experience, 8 to 20 weeks before there's an aha moment so maybe yeah I don't know yeah you know absolutely and again might really think that I really think that nothing wrong and you have to be held accountable. II would be suspended for a year in the program absolutely right now and by next year he could be playing well and in the NFL needs to get out of the cage to get qualified people. People have the background to have a say in what the penalty should be, it's been a joke, the NFL, how they handle the situation. One more thing don't like more thing that ran yesterday to Cleveland van der Kolk and cheers absolutely that his daughter and one of the things that I really thought about was what about Sean want to unable take accountability get the help that you need and really take ownership and come out and then two years now. He is a model speaking out against the deckhand and his daughter to be proud of the redemption story that help thanks the culprits greatly appreciated counseling.

Johnson shall look just spent a couple minutes here on the subject matter because obviously done a lot of ruminating about overnight, maybe just you want to give a guy benefit of the doubt. He still not taking full responsibility and a camera on him with a microphone in front him because he still has legal exposure and somebody stole and we can't say out loud what he had written for him. I guess and statement that accepts responsibility because somebody saying I didn't disrespect anybody, and I didn't assault anybody after what Sue L. Robinson in the six-game suspension found that he did do he did in fact do that and called his behavior egregious and said he wasn't remorseful at all.

Somebody who accepts an 11 game suspension and a $5 million fine with the money going towards to prevent sexual misconduct can't then say I'm innocent. Some of you accepts a ruling that says as a grown man on the planet. He may no longer choose who can massage him. It must be approved by the team that person can't turn around and say I'm innocent when you accept that guard rail placed on your life as it is generationally enriched member of the community walking around human being.

You can't choose who can massage you anymore except that what I'm innocent. I never did that. I'm only doing this because people got triggered.

Can't say that and think that we should all believe or say. You deserve a second chance. Maybe you saying it because he has legal exposure and wrap that thing up and come out and take ownership as you have to in order to get the second chance from everyone all NFL fans that you think you deserve our two coming up thought about that last thing about 26-year-old man on the planet can no longer choose professional minister as an athlete who works on him to doing that person is not designated for but you do anything wrong. I'm totally innocent. I never for him is that he never disrespected anybody. Are you out of your mind. Read this article. At the very least remove all the other stuff which obviously you can't do his behavior beyond disrespectful people beyond most of the time were just trying to work and make a living will come out, you know the room at the they place themselves in while he gets himself ready for the table may come out and see a washcloth.

There what disrespectful behavior again read the material that's all I ask. Read the affect the depositions. Read the articles read Sue L Robinson's own opinion.

Educate yourself fully on this if you are somebody was tweaking me what I see your tweet.

Let me putting on our YouTube stream. What I see you put on our YouTube stream. Please read all of that and if you got a problem with the NFL didn't throw him completely out of the league take that up with the authorities in Houston and people do deserve a second chance in the world. I know Jimmy Haslam said you know people are saying he doesn't deserve to have a career I'm not one of them and I don't know a lot of people who are or it might circle saying he should be out forever, but to earn the second chance from the NFL fan writ large, with nobody who's got a dog pound in the fight for those people to understand your second chance is deserving cannot have a statement put out with your name on it written and then come out and say the exact opposite in front of a microphone and a camera and everybody else saying what they're saying. Putting their reputations on the line to say what you should be saying and think you deserve a second chance for the real story behind some of wrestling's biggest moments something to wrestle with Bruce Prichard and Conrad Thompson to all, an opponent sponsor Ms. Natalie in a conversation where is Andre, was that Andre was number one is not even going back before you know Holcombe was a baby face Holt and Andres were able to go in headline at the New Orleans Superdome at Shea Stadium in Japan wherever they went.

That was an attraction something to wrestle with Bruce Prichard listen wherever you get your podcast
