Transcript

SPEAKER_00 0:00

Who do you think is gonna have a better career? Stefan Castle or uh Dylan Harper?

unknown 0:04

Steph.

SPEAKER_02 0:05

I think uh Steph. I think Harper's shot's getting it's improving faster than that. I think Steph.

SPEAKER_00 0:11

I think Steph's just way Man, that's a tough one actually. Never mind. Um you have to call it now and we'll check in 10 years. Steph. Did you see what Fox is getting paid? I'm assuming 200 and 292 mil? 230 something?

SPEAKER_02 0:26

This year 37 or total, yeah. How much? 292. 260. 260. Up until 2030. And this is why I keep bringing them up. This is why I keep X, this is why I bring them up, X, because Harper and Castle are improving, improving, improving, and they're giving you what Fox is. But let me tell you, Foxes pay up per year until 2030. It's 37 million. Dude, but that's exactly why 49 pissed off. It comes down to that after a while. And that's the last year is 61 million. That's fine, right? You know what that is.

SPEAKER_00 0:52

He could have stayed and got a bag with Sacramento because that's the team that got him, right? But that's the bottom two with the Spurs that they don't want to pay anybody, and you pay somebody. And again, it's okay to be frustrated with it. But again, like I think it's gonna be all right, man. I think it's gonna be fine. I never said he wasn't gonna be all right. I think it's gonna be fine. But we don't get me wrong, it's gonna be a frustrating thing. He's still surrounded by a bunch of young guys, right? So that could be a factor for being under a little bit more pressure than it's gonna be a big factor after next year because I'm not telling you wrong.

unknown 1:20

What?

SPEAKER_00 1:20

Next year's last year for under contract. No, he just signed that contract. No, there's no way. I thought it was two more years.

SPEAKER_02 1:25

Yeah, he's got a couple at least. I'm looking right here, 2027.

SPEAKER_00 1:28

You're not wrong, though. You should expect more. He needs to do more, he needs to be more consistent in the playoffs. Again, he hasn't been in the playoffs in a long time. I mean, even during the season, he thinks he was that bad. I mean, he's still doing well, yeah. So I think And that's fair. Again, that's that's fair. I you know what I think he is, bro? I don't think that he's the the floor leader that we need to do.

SPEAKER_01 1:46

It looks like he doesn't give a fuck sometimes.

SPEAKER_00 1:48

I could see it, man.

SPEAKER_01 1:50

In the regular season, but then he pops off.

SPEAKER_02 1:53

Like he's he's fast, he's quick. So like right in one, uh he start he started being Fox too late. Like be Fox from the beginning, and it doesn't mean be the number one option. But that's the thing. That's what Fox was, though, dog. Fox was the number one guy. Yeah, but I was just saying, when you need to take over, when it's your ball, if Cash was in there and Harper's in there, you're the veteran. You're like, I'm like, this is my ball right now. I don't I don't want to pass you the ball.

SPEAKER_00 2:16

That's one thing I would like to see him do more, is he doesn't I don't see him sit there and like kind of like coach the guys or talk to the guys or while they're coming off the you know who's like that is Vassel. Vassel's like that. I've I mean we sat at even when I was Jerry Shitty. When I was a Jerry Best Tickets, shout out to best tickets, Jerry Escamillo, my guy. Some of the best seats I've ever had. But I remember we were sitting in those corner seats. Remember those ones right by the bench? And Vassel's sitting there, he's I mean, pumping people up, like motherfucker, let's go. Like that's up. And he, I mean, he's very vocal. I like the kid a lot. That's KJ back too, right? Yeah, KJ and them are good. Um, but what we're going back to, that that's what I would like to see more from Fox. I'd like to see Fox do that a little bit more often, be a little bit more vocal, be a little bit more kind of that guy. I don't think, I don't think you got to get rid of him. I just think you coach again, right? With a veteran coach or with Coach Mitch sitting there just kind of being on his ass a little bit more. I think it'll get there. I I really do. I like him a lot. He's one of my favorite point guards.

unknown 3:05

I don't know.

SPEAKER_00 3:06

Again, quiet guy, right? Quiet guy, doesn't fucking make a scene, doesn't fucking blow up the spot, isn't, you know, getting in trouble, isn't doing a bunch of stupid shit. Again, I mean, the good with the bad, but he is expensive. I mean, but everybody else is. And that's why you guys don't get anybody, is because you don't want to pay anybody. Well, because it was between him, you know, Tyrese Maxi. Who else were we thinking about getting? Maxie? I don't think Maxi would have been a good, a good fit. Exactly. So I'm saying that's just score first, score first. Um, I forgot who else we were looking into getting. I know that uh Tyrese Halliburton. You want him? Uh um chop. And then um, I think Van Vliet was available, and then blew out his shit. Van Fleet would have been a good one. I would have liked that. But Van Fleet would have been. You know who I really would have liked that you would have gotten and you didn't have to pay him so much? Uh Drew Holiday. I love Drew Holiday. That's a that's a defensive, not score first. When you need a bucket, I'm gonna get it. Drew Holiday would have been a perfect, perfect fit for you guys. No, yes, absolutely to start, yes, absolutely. Nah, he's too, he's too I like him too. He's too wet.

SPEAKER_01 4:08

I mean, by the way things are going now.

SPEAKER_00 4:10

Yeah, that would have been a guy that would have perfect. Yeah, locking up, bro. Being as old as he is, he as old as he is, and he plays every minute of the game, pretty much.

SPEAKER_01 4:18

I mean, as far as a defensive scheme, and then you know, we could have put all the load on the rookies, could have could have worked.

SPEAKER_02 4:26

Draw the day this morning. He was a free agent. I'm just going off with guys that were also free agents, too. You know what I mean? He he averaged this year 16.3 throughout a day, 6.1 assists. That's really good. Sign me up. Look at his steals too. Steals and rebounds. And his contract's 32, 34, 37, next three years.

SPEAKER_00 4:42

Shit, but he doesn't even start he doesn't even start with them, right? Or he's not gonna start. I mean, he he did he do he did. How many games did he?

SPEAKER_02 4:49

I just want to uh 50 53. Let me see if I'm just looking at the stats. I'm gonna start.

SPEAKER_00 4:54

Once uh Dame Dame Dalla comes back though, right?

SPEAKER_02 4:57

Hey, what's his it's gonna be Damon uh what's his name? He's getting paid like five mil less than um Hey, what's this what's this this this folder No No Zone Pictures?

SPEAKER_00 5:06

What's his name? The um at the throw, the one that scored 30 points on us.

SPEAKER_02 5:12

Um it's gonna be Damon Scoot.

SPEAKER_00 5:16

They're all uh I don't I don't think Scoot's that good. I don't think he's in a big one. What about the other guy that's big that was turning us up? Weren't you saying that he was I mean he dropped 21 on him. That's all I said. I didn't say he was that good. No, before the season, before the the the when he got round started, you're uh you're uh scoot. I was like I threw Scoot out just as a fucking as somebody to throw a wrench in the thing. I didn't say Scoot was it was I like that we have it on video now. Scoot Scoot. You're the one that said it. Don't even mention that stupid ass name in my fucking pregnant scoot play better in the movie. Wasn't he in above above the rim? A scoop of what? Can we have a scoop on the palatin? You want sprinkles, sir? Uh just two okay, so um, where do y'all see hot in here, dog? Okay, so open the door. Okay, so how did how does it end? Y'all? No, uh 4-2. 4-2. They're gonna get to the uh no. You think we're gonna go all the way? Nah. Uh KC is gonna be. I think I think I think the injuries and the health stuff is gonna kick in a little bit. It's gonna be an issue. I don't think Ann can say that. But that's for everybody, no? No, no, because these guys already came in hurt. They've the wolves, they already came in hurt. They they came in with injuries, they came in dinged up, they came in with issues already.

SPEAKER_02 6:33

We need to take care of business because it could be like the Pistons first round series. Uh who's their man?

SPEAKER_00 6:39

Magic.

SPEAKER_02 6:40

Uh Pistons, who's their man? Oh, Kate Cade Cuttingham. Cade. He wasn't Cade coming back from the city. And then he said fuck this and started doing his shit. Yeah. So we need to take care of business because if it if it goes long, the series, and that man gets healthier and healthier, they could still what are you saying?

SPEAKER_00 6:54

That we need to win it in five because it's going six. You're going six, and it's gonna be unfortunate. But again, we need to finish it. My concern is my concern is just keeping Wendy Wemby on his fucking feet, dude. He's on the ground all the time, man. I don't like seeing that shit.

SPEAKER_02 7:07

We need to attack like how we did this last game. We played great defensive ball, uh, team defense.

SPEAKER_00 7:12

I think you honestly, I think you honestly need to peel back Wemby's minutes just a little bit, man, and start letting the big guys that you guys got on the bench eat up some fouls, get some boards, ding up their guys because they're big physical dudes. You know what I mean?

SPEAKER_02 7:25

I think 32 minutes is the max.

SPEAKER_00 7:26

It's a lot of so what and that's what people are freaking out when that's what people were freaking out whenever he came back from that injury. They're like, let him play, let him play. I'm like, dog. Like it's gotta ease back into this shit. It correlates, man. If we're playing the way that we should be playing, we shouldn't need to play him that much, if that makes sense. But if we're playing like shit, like game one, then we're gonna need him out there 30, 35 minutes. You guys see what I'm saying?

SPEAKER_02 7:46

You need him out there, or are you scared, so you're keeping him out there?

SPEAKER_00 7:48

No, that's well, that's how you you keep him out there. He gets too much. But he wasn't doing it. But he wasn't doing it. I kept him out there, and we lose by two. But you got your best shot with him, Johnny. This is the playoffs. You're not jumping, you're not jumping ahead of people early enough like you should be, correct, for being as athletic as you guys are and as as fast as you guys are, therefore, you should be coming out the half and being beating the piss out of people like now. Boom, boom, boom, boom. The way that who does? The wolves. No, the thunder. Oh, they keep SGA on the on the bench. So that's the thing. I like to I like to finish game. Get out in front, beat the shit out of them, push the ball, get some good points, right? Go up 10, 12 points by the halftime or whatever, let them rest a little bit more, put the guys out there to bang a little bit in the third quarter, fourth quarter, instead of having them out there, do because again, here's the thing the worst, the worst thing for Spurs fucking fans is having a guy that big who statistically, these guys, historically, these guys don't last that long when they're that big and that cumbersome and are getting hurt like that. God forbid, I don't want that to happen. But you can't you can't continue to keep this pace with him with this many minutes and with that much wear and tear on his body. Historically, it's just not gonna happen.

SPEAKER_02 8:54

You know what I mean? Are you it don't hope that's a good thing. During the record season, they did a good job. I think they did a good job with with maintaining his minutes in the mid-20 season. Well, think about this, right?

SPEAKER_00 9:02

Well, we're already we're already playing the long game on him, aren't we? Like we're not we're we're we're not having him average over 25 minutes a game. In the playoffs, like for the playoffs. No, for the for the uh for the sake of his longevity. Well, that's what we're doing. We're doing that now in terms of season. Now, no, I get that, right? They did a good job still talking about it. It's still worth well, I mean he was hurt sometimes too in the in the playoffs season. You know, limit uh minutes restrictions. Rish to share. But anyways, that I I god forbid I hope that never fucking happens, right? That fucking concussion was ugly. Him being on the ground 90% of the fucking game is just goddamn. I I don't I hope he I hope he doesn't get hurt. You don't think he could have played game three? I've never seen this dude. He's been yeah, he's been that mad at me before he was that. If we were in the same room, he would have tried to try to fight me if we were in the same room. I was gonna beat this shit out, dude. Like the stupid shit he fucking said.

SPEAKER_02 10:08

He choked his dog, he was mad at you, and he loves his dog.

SPEAKER_00 10:10

Bro, this Matt. Explain your version. He will have his version. Listen, listen, he put picture, listen to it and let it marinate. Let it marinate. He posts his picture of like the timeline of it, what it usually takes for somebody to show y'all the picture. A timeline of what usually takes for somebody to come back from a fucking uh uh concussion, considering concussion protocol was put in place because hey, he wants to play, just let him play. That's not the way shit works, and that's what he fucking says. And I have proof of it. It's so bad that I'm now having fucking like here, watch. I have look look, and you'll be able to read it. I have a notepad of stupid shit Matt said before. Arguments where Matt sounded like a dumbass. Look, he has notes, look, right? And the date on it, right? What did it say on the on the date on it? Read it down in the room.

SPEAKER_02 10:56

April 22nd, 2 p.m.

SPEAKER_00 10:58

to 7 p.m. 2 p.m. to stupid fucking shit, dog. What? And like I told Matt, I was like, Dog, why would you post fucking typically within this amount of time, he's like, he wants to play, the kid wants to play, he'll be back. It takes people a fucking week to get back from concussions, and this fucking idiot is over here saying, Giving people, because again, people are like, yeah, yeah, yeah, he'll come back, he'll come back, bro. He wants to see get it who out of Miko. Miko will play. I'm like, Dog, that's not the way it works. So the argument I'm having was like, bro, it doesn't matter if he wants to or not, concussion protocol from now on will tell you when you're gonna come back. Plain and fucking simple, right? And that's what I got mad at him. And he goes, Well, maybe next game then. I said, then don't post stupid shit saying he's gonna come back for game three. No, no, no. Don't post that stuff. No, yes, it was. Go ahead. I'm gonna hear this shit. No, of course not. I gotta hear the fucking version of his shit. No, of course not. Fucking you know the way that he is. Like I said, I've told him this before. Like I sat him down, like, you know, like, bro. I'm like, when he reads like the man ran in the house, right? The way he interprets it in his brain is the man ran in the house because he thought that he could run through the house and run through all the walls. It's like, no, that's not what it said. All it said was the man ran in the house. He comes up with this man ran through the whole other thing, and I'm like, where the hell did you get all that shit from? April, all I said. You know what I said, Johnny? I said, I think he's coming back game three, and this dude blew his shit like crazy, right? And then you know what he said, he goes, The kid wants to play. I said, It doesn't fucking matter if he wants to play. I said, Bo Jack does, but see, he just did it right now. Does it not matter? It doesn't matter, it's concussion fucking protocol. What the fuck are we talking about? See, he wants to play. Cool. Hey, he wants to play. Doc, he wants to play. Doc's like, I don't give a fuck. Yeah, I know. I don't give a fuck. That's what he gets into himself right now. You ready for this? It's kind of like Jordan, right? Like Jordan with his ankle, he wanted to play, did he not? And that's why he came back early. It was different back then, that was different. No, but I'm just saying, they okay, look, I'm touching protocol, and this is where this dude doesn't like understand. He doesn't understand what I'm saying. Holy fuck, I'm not saying just because he wants to play the hell with the concussion protocol. I'm not saying that. It doesn't matter if he wants to play or not, but yes, it does. No, it doesn't. Because if he does like Kawhi, then he'll figure out a reason why not.

SPEAKER_02 13:14

He doesn't get it correct. It's a brain injury. I already said it's a fucking brain injury. He's saying, even though Wimby wants to play, it's up to the doctor and the team. Great.

SPEAKER_00 13:22

I'm glad you said that, Johnny. Wait, wait, everybody just shut up real quick. I gotta hear this shit. Okay, I have to hear this. No, I'm sweating the minimum sweating. See, see, the minimum amount that he had to sit down was 48 hours. Therefore, he was allowed to play game three. No, yes, concussion protocol now is not concussion protocol now is not letting you do that anymore. Watch this, Johnny. Concussion protocol now is not because if the NFL is getting sued, the NBA is getting sued. These doctors are all third-party doctors now. Get the fuck out of here. Thank you. They're all third party doctors now, bro. If he wants to play, that's cool. These guys are going, fuck that. We're not risking it so we can get fucking sued. Are we fucking dumb? No, that's the whole point that I'm saying. Whether he wants to play or not, it does not make a difference. Concussion protocol is saying he could play game three. Fuck that. They're saying fuck that he could play game. They got the concussion protocol. But they're saying fuck that. They're not gonna do that, they're not gonna risk it, they're not gonna risk being sued, they're not gonna risk any of that shit. They don't care if he wants to play or not. They don't care. Even following the concussion protocol, he was allowed to play game three. No, that's why you said it never popped up that way. Here's the thing you want to bet. Pause, you want a butt? Because again, they said they're they're watching these guys, they're going and they're doing multiple evaluations every day of this person. Every day, every bucks every day. Thank you. Show me where it's at where it's gonna say, hey, concussion protocol cleared them, and they just didn't play. Show me that. Is that not what happened? Show it to me. Show me. Thank you. Show me a hundred bucks. Show me a hundred bucks. Show me a hundred dollars. Show me. Show me where that's what I'm not. You can't bend it because if not, he'll move it. It says right here. No, show me where it says Wemby cleared concussion protocol after 72 hours or 48 hours. Show me that. Show me where it said he cleared concussion protocol after 48 hours. I want to see that. It was allowed, but it says the doctors released him and he was allowed.

SPEAKER_02 15:03

48 isn't it says up to 48, but it could be 24 after 24 hours too of rest, and then he had to clear after 24 hours.

SPEAKER_00 15:10

So, so check this out. Watch this. Then Wimby comes out uh in a press conference. I heard him said he was disappointed. Uh-huh. Why was he disappointed, Johnny? I didn't get to say because he wanted to play. Oh, I thought it didn't matter if he wanted to play or not. It doesn't. He just wanted to play. He was disappointed because he wanted to play. And because he And they told him no. Because concussion protocol sold him no. So, so Johnny, was it so and uh outlandish that I was saying that he was gonna play game three? Even T Mac thought he was gonna play game three. Concussion protocol said no. What part of that don't you get? No, because you were saying you were called said if no you were acting like if game three was impossible. Concussion wasn't protocol said no. See what I'm saying? That's why he gets mad because concussion protocol said no. That's all it is. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. The quarterbacks back in the day used to get their fucking head ripped off and they wanted to go back in. So he gets some smelling salt, they want to play and they go play. Exactly. So that's what you're saying. No, no, good. No, Matt. Matt even said, hey, you know what he said? He ran back in the locker room. He seemed fine. Uh I think he could have played. Johnny, could he have played game three? If he passed, huh? If he passed, I'm playing. No, no, no, no. No, I'm talking about just like just do you think he could have played played? Matt thinks he could have played that game. Johnny, do you think he could have played game three? And that's why he was so pissed off because he passed everything that they had him pass. And he said, I'm not gonna get into it right now because I don't want to get into that with the NBA, but I'm pissed off of about the way that they handle things because he wanted to play. And again, that's why concussion protocol is put in place because they can't risk it anymore. They can't do it for this shit. I never said it wasn't. These motherfuckers are getting scared. You were you know something? Okay, so you were saying you were acting as if I was crazy for saying that I think he's gonna play game three.

SPEAKER_02 16:51

Or here it says Victor Umiyama did not pass concussion protocol in time for game three. No the first round.

SPEAKER_00 16:57

No. Oh no. Watch up, you can say no, and Matthew, it's on the phone. He's looking it up and he's saying no. No, no, not at all. Not at all. Not at all, not even close. He just said it. Well, who's the who's the source? Source it. That's all I'm saying, dog. Like you get like it's again, these quarterbacks and shit, and these people back in the day would get knocked the fuck out. They'd get back up and go, hey, I'm good, coach, put me back in. And they'd put them back in. But that's why concussion protocol was created in the first place to avoid doing that shit. They all want to play. They're all guys that want to get back in there and they want to go play. They all do, but they can't. They're not allowed to. You can't because they're not gonna get sued anymore. There's no more CTE shit that they're gonna fucking have to deal with and stuff. They're trying to minimize that as much as they can.

SPEAKER_02 17:36

Well, how how is it how easy is it for them to get sued? Even even if even if hold on, hold on. Even if you pass it, don't you have to sign like okay, I'm cleared.

SPEAKER_00 17:44

Yeah, no, the doctors are the ones that have to sign off on that. The doctors are like, I cleared him and I said we're good. So if there was a doctor, here's the thing if the guy was ready to go for after 48 hours, like Matt said, there would have had to be a doctor to sign off and said, Hey, he's good, he is fine, he's ready to roll. Player signs off, doctor signs off, right? But it doesn't just completely waive the liability as a physician, as somebody that's technically a fiduciary that's supposed to be watching out for your best interest. You know what I mean? That's why I was getting mad because I'm like Matt. I said, they're not gonna let this dude do that shit, dog. And it's okay if he wants to play. But again, like I said, my argument is these guys are getting knocked the fuck out and then getting back up and they were patting him on the ass and giving him some smelling salt and putting him back in the game. But that's what would happen. That's why concussion protocol was created for people like Matt that said he ran to the locker room and he could have played this like a floor and they said popping fingers off and put so the so the reason why this got so pissed off was because he thought that it was impossible for him to play games. I didn't say it was impossible, no, because I never said that. Well, why did you? I said concussion fucking protocol won't allow it. So if he passed everything by game three, he was supposed to be able to. Didn't he just fucking tell him that it wasn't he didn't pass it? Just said there, and he's still not fucking getting it.

SPEAKER_02 18:53

Yeah, I'm looking at I don't see any sources.

SPEAKER_00 18:55

So why while when Bonana and Sancho's first medical staff believe he was ready to play in game three, the NBA league officially denied him clearance, right? Oh, so they believed. Cool, cool. That that's who's supposed to pass him. But the the buttons, but the but but but the but the league denied him. So basically what happened was he passed everything that he was supposed to. And say that and he they said they believed uh medical staff believed based off of what they did. Unequivocally passed every test. That doesn't say that. It says they believed that. He party workout and previously activities, rolled out, uh, sustained the concussion game two, and he passed all neurological tests and was cleared roughly uh an hour before game tip-off. So the league tried to set up the first next game, not theme three. No, from the league. Yes, from the the game that he played, not fucking not game three. You're you're moving the goalpost. So you're reading something that's saying he's ready for game four. That's what he said. An hour before he just said, yes, you read your own shit. No, you read your own shit.

SPEAKER_02 19:52

So yes, I'm ready for game three.

SPEAKER_00 19:53

So so game three. There's no game three that says anything. It's okay. Okay, Friday morning game three. Wimbanyana had passed his baseline. When Banyana Neurological Assessment and ready to go. League denial, despite the Spurs staff clearing him and Wimbanyana uh requesting an examination by independent neurologists, the director of the NBA concussion program, determined he had not yet met all necessary safety benchmarks. So concussion so so the fuck are we missing? So my thing is this dude was so fucking out of his mind because I thought he was gonna play game three. Is that was I far off, Johnny? No, thank you. No, but hey concussion protocol. You say the thing that pissed me off the most, him going, he ran to the locker room, he seemed fine. He was fine. He was, bro. Chill out, and that's why there's concussion protocol for people like you. You would have been the coach that'd have been like, get back in there, fella. Get back in there, man. I mean, honestly. And then the kid has fucking CTE and he fucking has his brain donated to fucking science because of Matt Rainer. Coach Raina said I could go back in. One day I'll ask him, hey dog, how how Matt, how bad was was your bell rung? Like, really, it wasn't like that. Does it fucking matter? Uh why like why do you think that the opinion of this guy that's an athlete that wants to play matters in comparison to all the other guys that had CTE that had brain fucking trauma? And the reason that they have the concussion protocol now. You sound like a pussy protocol straight up, dog. It's a rule, it's a fucking rule. It's a rule. What the fuck is that play? That's it. That's the point. See, that no, that's my concussion protocol was invented for people. And you know why? And I was like, you know what? I think Victor wants to show everybody, too, that he's not like the rest of the mamons in the league. You see what I'm saying? Like this, but that's the point. Mamon's and being a man, dude. The whole point of those things is because they were the whole point was because they were fucking getting fucking sued. That's what I'm saying, dude. That's where that's why it sounds like stupid, it's like if I if I want to play, dude, and it's it's between me, my doctors, everybody, all like Kawhi gets his own independent doctor, right? But they didn't let it be. From what I read, bro, it's not that bad. He didn't get it.

SPEAKER_02 22:06

From what I read, it's more common for NBA players to be able to come back sooner than the other. Yeah, because there's not a contact sport where they're getting their head banged against the wall. Was it possible? Yes. With that, the NBA hold them back for whatever reasons they wanted to.

SPEAKER_00 22:17

Yeah, for precautionary to preserve the NBA's fucking shit so they don't get fucking sued. That's where he doesn't get the match. You don't get it. You don't get it. You're thinking like a fucking typical Mexicano, right? We're like, I let me go, let me go. Go in there. But that's why they created this shit for those typical fucking motherfuckers that are like, go be a man, be a man, get back in there, go get fucking knocked the fuck out again. That's what it is. That's what you don't get. No, you call anybody a pussy all you want and shit like that. But that's why this shit was created to protect these motherfuckers. Because just like Junior Seao that blew his fucking head off because of CTE, they just kept going, go back out there, don't go back out there. Didn't he just say that? Didn't he just say it's not like a contact sport, like football? Then he didn't know he's bringing out now he's headed. He's bringing up Junior Seyao now. You see what he's doing with like for examples? The reason that this shit was created was because people kept getting hit in the head. God forbid, let's say Wemby falls again because he's always fucking falling and he hits his head again. Having a concussion that quickly back to back like that is detrimental to your brain, Matt. Go fucking read a book. Dog is detrimental to your shit dog. Chill out, bro. You're acting like if he got fucking Troy Aikman concussion. He got a concussion, Matt. If he got another one in a short period of time, it's not good. No matter what you think. If he's being a pussy, not being a man, whatever the fuck. Stop being a pussy. Get back in there. The kid wants to show that. That's what you just said. This guy's being a pussy. No, you're a pussy. That's a totally different thing. No, so the the whole shit is it's my rules that I made. No, no, it's it's just saying, y'all, Wimby knew he could play, they knew that he he could be cleared, then they stopped him from playing. So it wasn't outlandish for me to think he was gonna play game three. I'm a pussy, I'm a pussy for fucking telling you what they're fucking thinking and how it went by. So yeah, I'm a pussy because I fucking think what he just said on there and why they fucking did it. That's all it is. It's rules, that's what the fucking rule is. Okay. Plain and fucking simple. I got I mean, yeah, but he could have played game three. Probably, but they did not let him. They did not let you. Yeah, but you were acting like
