This is the Don Levertor Show with this two-guts podcast. I am so excited. I'm delirious right now. And it's not just because one of our famed and favorite segments ever is making a return right now this season in footballs upon us. Celebrity prognosticator over the years has been one of our greatest works of art because Colin Cowherd talks to the sharps, talks to Vegas, talks to the experts, and we consistently beat him with random celebrities who just come on and pick games with us. But that by itself would bring me a certain kind of joy. What brings me the most joy is the fact that they got me exactly the person that I would want to do this with today if you gave me anyone in the world of sports. This man needs to be a genuine sports superstar because what he is doing in entertainment is better than anyone I have seen in wrestling where he does not steal from Greg Cody at all and Greg Cody thinks that he does and Clark Connors has made Stardom out of the fact that he has a
totally original character that steals nothing from Greg Cody. I thought it was obvious to everybody. And Greg Cody is legitimately furious about can you guys play for me? David do you know any of what this is here? Do you know anything about this story? No. All right so Clark Connors is and thank you Clark for being on with us. I'm excited to see you. When I heard about this on my vacation it just delighted me that you are stomping people out and that Greg Cody hates you and is furious with you. But so this recent clip here you tell me David if you see what what it is that Clark Connors is doing with with his Stardom. Thank you Billy. It's almost as good as Bernie Parmaly. Like if he had said Bernie Parmaly
but it's a pure coincidence. It's not just a coincidence. Clark Connors is an authentic and original act and do you know anything about football Clark? Thank you for joining us. It's AEW all-lead wrestling. He is a member of the dogs. Do you know anything about the dogs David? No. Well any dads I could do and thank you for that wonderful introduction and I do know a little bit about football. I just play back in the day. Play low college ball. So I don't talk about. Okay so you know how this works right? If you beat Colin Cowherd you have to keep coming on every week. If you lose to him we have to dispatch you. But I would love Chris Jericho is our all-time winner. He was with us 11 straight weeks so a wrestler is the one that holds the crown here. You know what I actually I talked to Tony Conn yesterday and said I was coming back on the show and he told me that. The Jericho is the the all-time holder of this. So I had to get in touch with Jericho. So if I could pick his brain a little bit in the future it keeps staying going. All right so Zazlow how excited are you about this just in general the fact that he's on with us but the feud specifically with Greg Cody. Greg does not like what's happening here. Yeah I don't
have any reason to believe that Clark Connors is a liar. He says that he's just talking. This the way talks and I mean so I'm I'm I'm on Clark. All right so I'm gonna I guess we're not gonna know so like we we did the segment Greg was awkward with it defensive and at first I was kind of buying what Clark did but then since then he's done look at that jerk and he called Will Osprey Billy just so we could work in a thank you Billy like he's very clearly following along with Greg Cody's catchphrase countdown and he's working it in it's very clear I gotta stop you there Mike I will tell you I'll give you this one I did save the thank you Billy because Greg specifically requested it last time he did say that so I will give you that one but I still don't even know this guy's catchphrases all I've been here it is everything I say just turns out to be something that this 70 plus year old man who's a columnist for the Miami Harrel and like how am I supposed to know what this guy does and look at that jerk that's just something you say to someone it's wrestling dude Mike I think he
doesn't agree with you what are you saying I hate to break K-Fave like he does he's he's definitely doing he's definitely doing a tribute to Greg Cody we're rolling out what I mean normal totally normal to say I had my coach used to say that all the time that was what we do a third down get a first down we're rolling out you know just gets going gets the crowd to go and gets the players moving it's just it feels good it being someone up what makes me smile is the fact that you're plausible deniability of thank you Billy I don't know what your other explanation is because will to Billy why wouldn't you just say thank you will no that's a that's a well known thing I've known Will Osprey for 10 plus years now and we always call him Billy Billy goat you know he's he's so good at wrestling but you haven't gone to Billy for a long time so that's that's a it's a good question those two thanks let's go play the celebrity prognosticator
and now in this time for celebrity prognosticator let's win some money all right five games pick largely a random because I mean he kind of get the beats in rhythms we have the prime time games but we're calling cowherd consultants and gets the the Glenn Gary leads we just draw some at random here and we hope our celebrity who is not a sharp can beat the experts I mean I do something here just to alter our game at the beginning and throw just a little fraud into it because I want to talk to Clark Conner's every week can I allow him to pick last night Seahawks Patriots game no no always what is that always with a bad idea what does that mean yeah I'm gonna have to this is this is a merit I do I know I want to give him a little head start I want to I want to Jerry rig the game a little bit if he didn't maybe he didn't even know the result if he doesn't know the result then he can go if you want to see if you want to see Clark Conner's again AEW's dynamite will be at the Wattsco Center on October 21st and I will be there and I'm hoping to drag Greg Cody with me first game Philadelphia Eagles Washington commanders the line is five and a half
the Eagles are a favorite according to draft Kings who you got is it are we picking with the spread you're going against the spread here pal oh boy give me the commanders plus money plus money all right I like it I like it any any particular reasoning or you're just gonna take it and move on as the the showman that you are yeah more or less you like that all right we're gonna go with the LA chargers again see Arizona Cardinals big beefy line the chargers are favored by nine and a half yeah give me give me the chargers by mile we're gonna go with the Miami dolphins and Las Vegas Raiders the Raiders are favored by three oh do I have to watch these games or is it this really not no you don't have to watch okay okay uh yeah give me I know you guys are Miami show we gotta give you the Raiders uh do you want to give us just a little a little bit of elaboration so that I could just have your thoughts on the dolphins you guys haven't had a good
game in the last 20 years I don't know I have a quarterback that's great analysis yeah I'm just gonna do it there that's good it's simple underproof uh New York Giants hosting the Dallas Cowboys the Dallas Cowboys role in the town as a three point favorite give me the Giants I like uh I'm I used to be a white running back so uh white running back all right I like that analysis Denver Broncos Monday Denver Broncos Monday night football traveling to Kansas City to take on Patrick the Holmes and the Chiefs the Chiefs are presently eight two and a half point favorite according to draft game sports is my home is playing right he's back he's back Jack he's back Jack he's back Jack yeah I gotta go with uh I got bonus is my fantasy quarterback but I'm gonna go with the Chiefs can't go better like you were thinking out loud there and back jack sort of was a song in your head it seemed like you were thinking about future back jack it seemed like you were just gonna steal that from Mike the way I I saw some theft in your eyes you you guys you say cool stuff you know I guess
the thing you guys are a very popular podcast and everyone does the Dan Leviton show all right yeah why not why not spread the word I guess okay I'm very excited about this I he starts want to know uh did you watch the Patriot Seattle game last night give us a pick on that game well you know I I didn't get to watch it because we had a show last night eight every down in my life from after Georgia at the same time great scheduling conflict uh no but I'm big sea ox fans I would have picked sea ox by a mile so that's my team okay so he's want to know he would have picked the sea hocks did not cover down I thought he's going one you plan and what book was three you plan to explode up in your face and now he is oh it did he's off the show now he's gonna over come out he's gonna over come out he's your done it doesn't count uh thank you Clark I was trying to make the time yeah you did you did I tried to help him out was a pleasure uh thank you sir lawless awkward lawless awkward in a great codie interview though do you have anything to say to him before we get him out of it before it's his birthday today incidentally just have him guess how old Greg is birthday to him I don't care good luck
well actually that sounds about right now okay all right very good happy birthday to Greg Cody I hope you win all the games Clark thank you for being on with us all right rest of each dance uh likewise uh so take care Hulk uh I mean he called you stew was that purposeful look we don't know with this guy Greg Cody keeps accusing him of something that's purposeful Mike Ryan accused him Mike's like uh Mike's all cute and stuff he's like uh we know he's definitely doing a thing he's not he's clear as day I would have liked to follow up by you you're in charge of this show what follow up would you have wanted that's not stew no it was funny by itself it was funny to just sit there without comment no it wasn't no no if he knew that I was David then it's funny he may not have known that I don't know what's serious and what's not with this person I don't believe he's lying though it's a big question of Steve thanks
I don't believe this is a character enough to make me want to leave so it's a big question of Steve thanks you can do whatever you want to me on your show I'm not stew I'm David so it's a big question those two things I didn't do that he Clark did when you're in charge of a show you got to say something that's Clark's nickname for you but Clark's a guest he probably sees a note so Leopardarcho is stew guys he doesn't know it's not the Dan Leopardar show well he also probably didn't get that press release the last time something like this happened I don't know if you guys remember this right I'm reminding guy it's but money got really mad at me Paul fine bomb uh said something think I don't I got confused between something that happened where it is that Paul fine bomb was saying something on our show about bulmani and I didn't immediately jump into defend him against Paul fine bomb and it's because I wasn't expecting someone to think that bulmani was somebody other than bulmani must be the chair man people people get weird around Clark conners this happened to me though recently when we had Hunter Pence on the show thank you Dan appreciate

taxes and fees apply down lebertar this song glasses in boxes today but in my bed in the hospital ending our lives all the same germine touch it it's the final night down this is the damn lebertar show mike rabel last night loses a football game okay the sea ox are now 24 and five in their last 29 for mike McDonald and they never lose by more than one score like this is an unbelievable run that has happened kind of quietly don't need sam d'arnal last night should have probably lost the game but the game has gotten so efficient in football that to me this is crazy it really is a crazy evolution drake made by any standard okay that that game moves really fast
really hard and that position is the hardest and they have to get rid of the ball faster than ever and it has been perfected by a whole lot of masters we've been watching for 20 years who don't make the kind of mistakes anymore the drake made last night three times in the fourth quarter you've gotten so used to football quarterbacks make good decision safe decisions careful decisions the Patriots have a quarterback we just won the super ball and then at the end can't play against the sea hawks like they're too good and they stop him they confuse him they're doing something that no one else in the league is doing to drake made they've made him look bad twice and competent and at the end of yesterday's game the champions beat the other team that was in the super ball when I should have had wanted to be impressed with the Patriots and then closing the gap because I didn't think the Patriots were actually very close to as good as the sea hawks last year but you got a beat him if Sam Darnold goes down and they're up 10 nothing and the reason they didn't beat them is because their quarterback uncommonly sloppy for any quarterback of this age that's not allowed once anymore never mind three times in the fourth quarter when happens three times in the fourth quarter all of us react like a spaceship landed on the field because it looks like blanket
incompetence it's like oh you lost the game and you lost it by yourself but to me the evolution that's wild in that sport it's only because it's totally been normalized that those guys don't make those mistakes with the world crashing in on them in the fourth quarter because we all play safe football careful football our quarterback does not turn it over like that we've gotten used to that change in football Aaron Rogers brought it the other guys mastered it and now when it happens on the fourth quarter all of us walk away from the television saying holy shit does the Patriots quarterback stink because if you do that in the game it doesn't even matter how good you are the rest of the time that will lose you every football game played in that sport against even the browns if your quarterback does that in the fourth quarter and there are moments in the game earlier than that that he wasn't really good there's a lot of reads that he kind of missed there's a lot of hospital balls that he threw a J brown kind of low ball that got him hurt now he's gone Romeo dubs was not great whatsoever so it's like kind of a compounding issue with Drake May but then the ball he threw a dubs in double coverage on the sideline bad throw the ball he threw over
the middle late bad throw obviously the last the last ball to Joe was terrible so it's like how do you fix this if it's a guy who's been super careful all season he had more interceptions on deep throws last night than he had all of last season if I'm the sea ox I'm super happy with that result last night yeah like I thought Drew Locke was really good you thought he was really good I thought he was really moments he did he did more than a backup quarterback is expected to do he went out there they were trailing in the fourth quarter chillin by double figures he went out there and and they won the game he was good last night I didn't think he was good yeah he had a good fourth quarter they put up 13 points I mean there was scoreless at halftime first super bowl champion to do that it since the 1980s I don't I don't look he's started 28 games in the NFL he's been around and he has a back breaking delay a game because he doesn't know the playbook because he's caught up in his wristband I didn't think he was very good but I do think that the the narrative around Drake
May is interesting the two most recent games we've seen of him he might be going up against one of the greatest defenses ever oh no but you're saying that's the last five games because it was used him before that debt like look this guy got defenses this guy got ransacked during the playoffs and if you're a young quarterback that is where when people talk about you hear so much garbage out of the locker room just noise but when people talk about mental toughness okay here's what mental toughness is my coaches under it for an offseason scandal I'm coming off of the Super Bowl and the Super Bowl the last game I played hugely embarrassing hey the world was watching and I was embarrassing Seattle made it embarrassing I ruined a whole lot of people's fun Sunday the game was not fun everybody talking about what a great quarterback I was look for everybody in America I stun great at North Carolina no expectations there no expectations on that Patriot season before you get to the playoffs and every defense you're playing every one is Denver is Houston it's it's Denver in the snow and so the last five big games this guy has played ransacked in all of them because holy shit defenses really good in that sport young quarterback has to learn a lot last night you're
playing the one that in the league was the best one last year it's healthy it's at an offseason of rest and has been preparing for you since they dominated you in the last postseason that game fell on Drake May's head and you want to find out how mentally tough it is don't do it at 14 and three when no one expected you to go three and 14 do it when everyone expects you to go 14 and three and you're playing all the best defenses in the league like that's what mental toughness is and it's the hardest thing we ask of any of these guys in sports to be at the center of that because Miles Garrett is chasing you it was the last decision that we're talking about because if he just puts it in his pocket you can't be doing that as a quarterback then you can kick a feel go tie game and you're talking about a coin flip you're talking about overtime at the very works but that's the disaster of it is what I'm telling you what it was a decision a decision it's not a decision they were up 10 nothing going into the fourth quarter or you know late in the third quarter every possession the fourth quarter the Patriots possessions were interception interception interception that look what happened in that game last night is the first quarter back to throw three interceptions in fourth quarter of a season opener with the team tied or to you know to
blow a lead down by one but since 1991 like you just never see that game and so I wonder was that done to him or does he do it because what is the cumulative effect of the last five defenses I've played I haven't been very good because those defenses are really good and this particular one is the best one and they give me problem I want to win this game at the end I don't want to settle for a feel goal yes well feel go would have been fine no I'd like to they they they haunted my entire offseason this team they ruined my offseason I want to win the game at the end I do not want to tie the game at the end and so you make an epically bad decision trying to correct the previous two interceptions when I ask you about the mental frail to your the mental toughness of quarterbacks do you understand how the mind starts to swim inside of that if you think for a second and you're drake man like the ego of that of I can overcome this I'm great I'm drake man I'm the everyone expects me to beat Tom Brady look at I'm this is Tom Brady's team like don't you think that all of that after those five defenses is something that creates a great pressure and a young man's
head not only that but when you're doubled down with the pressure of the actual defense of line and you've got seconds to try to make a decision you're off balance you're trying to make a play you see somebody open you're going to throw a bad ball because you don't have your feet on do you but then you do it three times in a quarter it's like that's where the Josh McDaniels got to come over and say hey I know you want to make a play make a play with your legs try to go outside of the pocket but don't try to force a ball when there is no need because that's how you throw an exception I came with so violent last night either those guys were in the backfield immediately people were getting lifted I mean we saw what happened with the same the San Donald like that that defense is so well coached and the personnel is so good and on top of that they are just so much more physical than everybody I I can understand why Drake made looks like that and I imagine penicillin's got to come in the form of any opposing defense that is not the Seattle sea ox can we just talk about the start of the game though I'm sitting on the couch in the Zazlow mansion family room I'm getting ready for this game to start and all of a sudden it's time for the
national anthem and they trot out who else but Mike McCreedy lead guitar for Pearl Jam I perked up my son my 17 year old son came running out of the game room when he was watching y'all McCreedy and we're all watching Mike McCreedy just should just melted my face off with that national anthem what a way to start the game and then David and then sound garden who have time now it's not really sound garden okay you know Mike's playing guitar with them and also what's your name Taylor momson who's like the new singer for sound garden she was running the little kids and in the Grinch she was in the Grinch movie who she's one of the kids she's now a singer she's awesome she rules I like that oh sound garden you don't have to have the same members of the band for the band still to be the band yeah but journey still journey without Steve Perry yeah queen is still queen with Adam Lambert it's queen you know by the spoon man I don't think I agree with that David put
it on the pole at Levitard show is queen still queen without Freddie Mercury is journey still journey without Steve Perry it's the journey story is crazy because they've got a Korean karaoke singer that perfect sounds exactly perfectly perfectly replicates oh forgive me whoa not a wolf plan so that's closer okay like if he sounds exactly like Steve Perry that's closer but like Taylor momson who I thought was fantastic and I am in on it no one's ever gonna sound like Chris Cornell it's the original members so the minute someone croaks band over well leads when you lose the lead singer that's the most important part we went to video review it wasn't to play on absolutely not as a foul for you for you yeah that's my band I'll take the penalty I don't have my wallet on me so now it's six dollars damn I don't have any this you know you're in luck we have solutions for that it's also are they more of a band if they
have just in impersonation of their original lead singer or if like Adam Lambert comes it he's not trying to be Freddie Mercury it's like hey I'm Adam Lambert I'm playing with the rest of Queen and I'm singing Queen song is it more Queen then or is it more journey I think it's it's Adam Lambert and Queen right that's what it's called I mean you can call that's what it's called I know but that's what it is like here like that's not sound guard and that like well I guess it is but it's a different sound guard we're not quibbling over whether it's different you just said it's not sound guard yeah it's it's a different sound guard it's not the same like a Pearl Jam would have lose any better I'm sorry it's not Pearl Jam anymore just not doesn't matter who thinks it's like sound flower bed Tony you know that moment at a party or a tailgate where everything just sort of clicks I know well it's usually when I show up everybody goes crazy yeah you usually take all the credit for it but it's because Tony usually walks in with queer blocking like this yeah yeah yeah yeah queer vote is a thing that turns hanging out into this is the night it has that effect on
it does you usually take the credit for it but again it's the queer vote effect it's like that moment in a big game where everyone in the crowd just starts standing up hooting and hollering keep it queer vote keep it queer vote baby down lebertar I mean Trotton Madonna out there I don't know what the hell she was doing and then what's this this this boy band KPS KBS what's their name I have no idea who that is this BTS Jenna dan sassilo isn't this the biggest band in the world that's right get out of here I think it pulls him this is the down lebertar show this is the lead singer for journey I'm not going to say anything else I'm just going to say that's not Steve Perry I think Asian is safe that's not Steve Perry I don't think that they're still journey either I don't know they are in name and they and they sound exactly like
journey but because it's not Steve Perry they are no longer journey they can try to pretend to be they can have an exact AI replica an exact AI replica if Steve Perry's not at the front of that band it ceases to be journey what if guns and roses lost slash are they still guns and roses yeah yeah would be but without a rose he's asking the most difficult question though because you're talking about Chinese democracy where they did lose slash yeah that was a cop is Van Halen democracy Van Halen's a really interesting question and I'm not the right person to speak on this because I don't get Van Halen like I've never been a Van Halen I don't get Van Halen I'm sorry just to be safe Asian democracy but that is a good question because Van Halen whether it's David Lee Roth or it's Sammy Heygar or what was like a Sharon they they were always Van Halen it seemed right I don't know can we talk for just a second though because I know we love to just quarterback analyze the hell out of this board and I don't know which one of them are
which ones of them are going to get to the last finish line healthy okay Sam Darnel's already out as you guys said really violent defense but in whatever the analysis is of Drake made today and whatever you think his future is a quarterback when he's playing for that team in that uniform and Tom Brady's the standard okay and by any reasonable measure he and that team have over achieved and until the fourth quarter last night looked like they were going to pull off a surprise in the opening game when I ask you about the mental strength or frailty of having to play that position with its pressures and I keep telling you guys it was Houston they're crazy on defense Denver in the snow crazy on defense and now Seattle twice his last five games okay seven interceptions four fumbles lost 24 sacks like who do you want to play well under those circumstances because he moves plenty well he survives everybody in the league with how much he can run last year but those numbers right there in five games like only CJ Stroud was worse in that one game but in
those five games there has not been somebody playing more meaningful games over the last five games who has been more disastrous at the one thing you cannot do in that sport is don't take those giant negative plays do not make giant mistakes don't turn the ball over five games eleven turnovers 24 sacks that's reckless it's sloppy and it's being done to him like it's not this is not him falling apart as a quarterback this is not him regressing but it will soon be regression if he keeps suffering the lack of confidence that will come from playing the best defense every week I hear I hear what you're saying but if you're an elite quarterback you you still can perform well against the great defenses like if you take take whoever you want who's at the top of the NFL top three top four quarterback and place yet all five of those defenses in a row against them you're not going to expect them to turn the ball over multiple times per game NFL defenses have finally adjusted to the rules changes and I hope the narrative because last night at at times was a little boring I get that very boring
at times and then the fourth quarter came online and there was some big impact plays I like that I really hope the national conversation isn't we have to change rules again because that the defense is being played at such a high level to the point that we've had the discussion the Brady Anderson year now happens a quarterbacks in the NFL NFL off seasons these defenses get on your ass and it's about the great quarterbacks that are able to pivot to the pivots right and Drake May we pointed it out he's played a lot of great defenses towards the tail end of the season now a lot of teams don't have the personnel that those teams have but there is a blueprint there so for Drake May now he's he's got all this film out there Seattle's proven how to play him and be very effective how is he going to respond to that and respond to these defenses game planning for his adjustments because he came on incredibly last season to the meager defensive Drake May and all obviously those stats are incredibly damning but will Campbell who they drafted in the top five has been a turn style left tackle and that is a big issue when you pick somebody that early who
supposed to be that good and he is a complete just revolving door of all right what's my best past pressure I'm going to put him right there at the left tackle spot and go get this quarterback ACDC they've had two lead singers it's still ACDC yeah if you want if you want to have some fun on the internet I'll give you the weirdest algorithm I've got going right now which is thunder struck the original video for thunder struck by ACDC young kids discovering that video and his voice for the first time like the look on their face with just thunder struck my algorithm is just filled with people in their bedrooms watching thunder struck that video because because of the discovery of I had no idea ACDC rocked like that in the 70 you can't be ACDC unless he's your lead singer what am I saying anything that's incorrect here am I when when he's looking at journey and saying no it's got to be the original frontman because that represents the discovery
of music to you brings back full circle we were talking about earlier in the show where your attachment to these bands is the original you don't have an artificial in that spot and keep at the same band it helps if the replacement sounds exactly like the predecessor that's not the case with sound garden this is a different sound garden and I'm fine with it but it it has to sound similar if it's going to be I think I got a good one here Genesis when Peter Gabriel left and Phil Collins replaces Peter Gabriel were they still Genesis I don't know about that nerd group whatever care about I love Genesis wow I didn't feel like they became actually you Genesis until Phil Collins that they weren't that they take they were psychrock they were in name Genesis with Peter Gabriel but I but I didn't feel like they became Genesis I only associate Genesis with Phil Collins like I only associate fine young cannibals there's lead singers who go to different bands and you
can just choose according to your emotion but Genesis was Genesis and is Genesis and will always be Genesis the case rest because the band is the thing not the member and that when it's a individual Frank Sinatra's Frank Sinatra when he dies that's the end of Frank so so Mick Mick Jagger Mick Jagger is not a Rolling Stone to my still Rolling Stones we talk about absolutely not the minute Mick Jagger dies if they fill them up with Bernie or somebody else and Keith wants to go tour Charlie Watts died I understand it's still a Rolling Stone it's it's the drummer's not the lead singer it's not the same drummers get replacing bands all the time Pearl James had like six drummers it drummers it doesn't matter I want to ask you guys something serious all the the the rables stuff last night I am just curious about this part of it because I know you guys are tired about hearing me talk about journalism but are we understanding and good with the fact that in the rabble Rousini thing our standards for the journalist in terms of consequences are heart are higher
than our standards for the football coach and our standards for the woman are higher than our standards for the man like we know that that transaction has happened however we arrived at it are we all good with the that the fallout on that being rabble no real consequences other than the shame but the standards for the the ethics of the journalist there has more consequences than the ethics of the football coach we're good with that you think it's different in football than any other place or workplace the man having the affair can cost you the job Steve Phillips it can cost you shame Mike Raible and you keep the job but when women are having affairs and by the way the majority of affairs are with married women who are married to somebody else so their affairs going both ways the terrible part about it is the double standard that's what bothered me the whole time about the rabble Rousini situation is that she was basically cast aside for doing something that plenty of married women and married men do and don't face the consequence under the guise of journalism
she can't be good at her job because she's with Mike Raible I've been around club houses and journalists and sex and drugs and rock and roll and I don't agree you can cover everything just fine no matter who you're having just also just the salacious nature of it the fact that both parties are are publicly known like Steve Smith Steve Smith's career is ascended since he went through his thing like no one even yeah yeah I had to remind you like and it was it was a thing on social media for like two men out of shity to be fair Mike comes from a situation is a little bit different too because if you look up in his situation it's like oh you boss were caught somewhere where where were you caught mr. craft oh that's not I mean that's not why Raible didn't get punished no but craft no he didn't get punished because he made it to a super bowl that's the only reason why he didn't do as I do not as I say or it kind of sucks like Raible's up there every day in front of microphones and cameras and he gets to just say I'm not talking about that while she is like wearing the scarlet
letter and can't even you know come outside but a bit of a societal shift and certainly a shift in media landscape as if we're to believe what's being reported out there she has multiple offers and will tell her side of the story and we'll probably have a very lucrative media career depending on how she goes about what gets buried though what gets buried here on somebody who has been really really credible I mean I don't look you guys have heard me talk about this uh you guys haven't cared about how shoms and shifter are doing the jobs as I've told you hey there are all sorts of journalistic breaches here and you haven't cared about that it was real quiet when the athletic did a really long investigation and then came back with hey she was objective in her reporting like really buried under the sound and noise of everything on the internet is this person who committed a newsroom crime unbiased in her reporting as we covered everything she did over the last eleven months just buried under gossiping internet stuff like buried on hey she was objective
actually in the way that she covered uh there isn't that the job to be objective for- Yeah but the investigation came out after the consequences no I understand but the consequences had a howling internet wanting every detail of something that I've been telling you in my previous same carnations and journalism has never actually been news but it's a straw man no one like there were a couple people like what about journalistic integrity but everyone was just like look they got caught let me make memes were there technically any consequences didn't she resign she she resigned one second after she was getting fired I'm gonna go on say she suffered consequences yes tremendous consequences and the shame my end of career that's oh no shame I know but it's a major consequence because like no but she was trying to get Google for the rest of her life and look it's gonna come up I don't know why she resigned I'm going to go ahead and assume because you don't want to welcome whatever that investigation is going to reveal I don't want the New York Times or the athletic climbing around trying to explain to the internet why it is that they were embarrassed on
this I don't know the details of why it is she made the choice that she made but I'm assuming it's to make some of this go away because it feels terrible here but it's at the cost of putting her career in jeopardy and it is at the expense and the tax of her reputation has already been tarnished and I keep telling you guys but the report came back and said she was credible and unbiased in her reporting and the howling makes it so nobody's gonna hear that David nobody is gonna hear that she was actually objective according to their investigation just trying not to forget that the reason for the resignation is that if she had five years and fifty million dollars left on her deal she wouldn't have resigned her deal was she was gonna be a free agent it's easier to resign when you have 30 days left on a deal is the e-street band still the e-street band if they play without Bruce Springsteen you want to get resumed
