in the Desert. Welcome in the beginning of another week

the way tire buying should be. Hope you had a
good weekend. We're back at it again. Here, a brand
new week is upon us, and our lead this hour
coming from Sin City. Now, why is this night different

(01:35):
than all of the nights, because normally we would start
out with the Sunday night football game, But now the
Giants and Commandos will have to take a backseat, as
we will start out with that thriller in Lost Wages, Nevada,
it was billed as the teacher versus the student, the

(01:56):
pupil would he get the best of the old man?
There the marquee matchup there, Bill belishek Josh McDaniels. That
ended up being secondary. If you didn't watch the game here,
chances are you found out by now what happened. But
my god, a defensive end, Chandler Jones, who's been a

(02:17):
bust for the Raiders this year, but given the gift
from the football gods, there he grabbed a bizarre, illogical,
ridiculous lateral from Jacoby Myers, who should go work as
a lawyer somewhere, not play receiver in the NFL anymore.
After that play, what a dumb dumb as Jacoby Myers

(02:38):
tossed a Paul down the field recklessly behind the lateral
and Jones was there he picked it out of the air.
Final play returned at forty eight yards for a touchdown,
and that gave the Raiders a thirty twenty four victory
over the Patriots. In a Sunday late afternoon thriller, with

(02:58):
the game tied at twenty four, all the Patriots decided
that we're gonna run the ball series of pitches of
the last ditch attempt there. They call it to Stanford
band play, and the band is on the field and
trying to avoid overtime. But that's that's when things obviously

(03:18):
took a turn to the wild side. And we're gonna
break it down frame by frames with Brewer film style here.
And the better story, though, is in the losing locker room.
So let us discuss the Vegas shenanigans. So the question
who is to blame the blame game on that final

(03:40):
play debacle. So I've got dinner reservations, malpractice, and opera,
and we will combine all of these things together and
we are going to make a migraine headache, which I'm
going to assume the position that Bill Belichick has that
migraine headache. He's chasing Don Shula. What if he comes

(04:02):
up one game short and this is the game. Wow.
All right, so number Wright, you do not have to
think long hard. The good thing about what we do
is most of these things are not I'm not programming

(04:22):
the Internet. You don't have to think long and hard
about this one. Jacobe Myers, if I was running the
Patriots and I was allowed to do it, would have
to hitchhike his way back to New England. Not even
a greyhound bus ticket. He would have to hitchhike his
way back to New England. Myers did the thing. You
can't do it. At the time, you cannot do it.

(04:42):
Coughed up the old hair ball right there, playing hero ball.
It reminded me of in basketball. It's not really something
you see him football much. But in basketball, we're at
the end of the game and I'm gonna, I'm gonna
I'm gonna make the big play. I'm gonna be the
one to make the big play. Now you're not cold
catfish batman. What was that? I mean? Goodness, great great

(05:07):
balls of fire. Now the faithful play, which we'll remember.
I mean a lot of these things will forget. You know,
we sit here and talk every Sunday night into a
Monday morning about what we just saw in the NFL,
and ninety nine percent of what we watch will be
just evaporator in the finn air. But this is one
of those plays that you'll remember, right up there with
the Music City fraud play that was a playoff game

(05:29):
the Titans and the Bills. An illegal forward passed by
Frank Whitchek in that game, that's on the list of
great moments that you recall. But in this game Raiders Patriots,
Remandre Stevenson, who was having a day. He runs and
he pitches the ball back. So the first mistake was

(05:51):
actually Remondre Stevenson, so that was like the first mistake,
but he gets a pass because the only one we
remember is Jacoby Myers. Jacobe Myers there, for some reason
only he knows. Heaved the ball across the fields, we said,
into the arms of Chandler Jones, who then stiffed armed
Mac Jones, proving that Mac Jones is not really a

(06:13):
football player. He tackled like a kicker. What os Mac Jones?
What as my god? Way to make a play, way
to make a play. And then after that there was
nothing but daylight, the open field for Chandler Jones, to
run it back. The pandemonium. The crowd goes wild. The

(06:36):
crowd goes wild. Right, Oh, Mike, hysterical, hysterical watching Mac
Jones try to tackle us. So good afternoon, good evening,
and good night. Jacobe Myers has a dinner reservation now
with other legendary goof ups in sports history. Now the
legend A lot of these things have cool names, like
Fred and Merkel. You might not know who that is,

(06:57):
but his old baseball player, Fred Merkel had a running
booboo and that was known as one of the all
time horrific individual players. Jim Marshall in Minnesota Viking legend
had a sixty six yard wrong way touchdown. J R.
Smith dribbled out the clock in an NBA Finals game.
In a tie game, he decided, I want to play

(07:17):
for overtime rather than take the game winning shot. But
we got to come up with a good nickname here
for Jacoby Myers. In this situation, neither one of these
teams is going to make the playoffs. Unfortunately, it would
have been a much better story had one of them,
you know, conceivably made the play pages were in position
to make the playoffs. But I mentioned Fred Merkel, this
old baseball player from the New York Giants back in

(07:39):
the day, and his play was known as Merkel's boner,
one of the all time great baseball players. A bone
head play by Fred Merkel. So some ideas we just
like can spitball. Here's some possibilities here. You can go
with Jacoby's Toady or something like that. You could do
Myers quagmire, something on those lines. You can put the

(08:00):
Pats into it. There's different ways you can go Myers,
grease fire, something along those lines. But it's got to
come up with a name. I haven't seen anything that
really popped to me now page two. All right, So
as he ranked about the Raider Patriots game, there's a
lot to unpack on this stuff that the play that
also will be lost not only the Romandre Stevenson lateral

(08:22):
to Myers that then led to the fateful lateral to
Chandler Jones, but the officials earlier with thirty something seconds
on the clock, thirty two seconds of the clock, Keelan
Cole had the game tying touchdown and he was ruled
in bounds and watched the replay there and I was like,

(08:44):
wait a minute, here, this is some funny business going on.
So how come the officials they made the call on
the field, then they didn't reverse the call on the
game tying touchdown saying he was inbounds. And that part
of the story also gets lost here and there's there's
different angles and perspectives on this here. But but what
if I told you the game should have never had

(09:07):
the Jacobe Myers grew up because the Raiders that game
tying touchdown with thirty two seconds to go into game
on that play, the officials, they methodically look over every
possible angles, camera angles everywhere up to Wazoo and Keelan
Cole's feet. One of them, the left foot came down

(09:31):
out of bounds. The right foot was in bounds on
the thirty yard pass play. The TV replays, which is
what they based this off of, showed angles that clearly indicated,
without a shadow of a doubt that the toe of
one foot there, the left foot was clearly over the line,
meaning the out of bounds no touchdown. Officials said it
was not conclusive enough to uphold uphold the call say what.

(09:56):
The NFL issued a prepared statement online. They said the
ruling on the field was a touchdown after review, there
was no clear and obvious visual evidence to overturn the
on field ruling. The NFL senior VP of Officiating, some
bozo named Walt Anderson, claimed that there was no down
the sideline video of the play. So I guess they

(10:19):
got rid of the pylon cam. They don't have that anymore.
Spoiler alert, You don't really need the down the sideline
video on this, and I'll tell you why. The Fox
broadcast clearly showed that Cole's left foot was barely touching,
but it does count out of bounds, and that makes
that officiating malpractice down. To make it even more head scratching,

(10:42):
you actually in one of the video clips that I
was sent by one of our listeners in the Commonwealth,
there you could see the white chalk coming up, which
would appear to be irrefutable proof based on the video
of the Fox game. And of course, the NFL does
not want, doesn't want, not want you to believe you're
your lying eyes on. Now keep in mind here that

(11:03):
the in the big picture of the Patriots will gladly
trade this bullpucky in favor of the talk rule from
years ago, which started the whole thing that was the point,
the point that said all this off, this Patriot run,
which is no longer. They're no longer a dynasty. But
when they had the twenty years of success that was

(11:26):
started in large part because of the talk rule. I know,
but that's not the point. Keelan Cole's foot based on
the on the replays, was was out of us About
the still photo, Okay, I've looked at the video. I'd
I go by the video, the still photo by probably
a deep fake, and I've seen that bouncing around. I
saw two different camera angles that show white chalk coming up.

(11:49):
That's all I need. No touchdown, no touchdown? All right? Now,
final point? Now, does this game sink the battleship for
the Patriots to make the postseason? And it was going
to be a rather ridiculous path to get to the
postseason anyway, So yes, you can. I'm nodding my head

(12:09):
that this does sink the battleship and the Patriots will
will have to overcome a tremendous hitch in their Gutta up.
It's not only their schedule, it's everything else. Bill Belichick
is going to need other teams to implode and lose
games to teams like the Raiders and Stubb there to
otherwise forget about it, forget about it right realistically, it's

(12:30):
playoff armor gedding for the Pats as they're back to
being the Patsies, and they're they're right now sitting in
the upper deck at the Opera and the fat Lady
is stretching and warming her vocal cords, getting ready to
sing a nice lullaby to Bill Belichick and Mac Jones,
who should be playing somewhere else, not with the Patriots.

(12:51):
New England falls back into the number eight spot. Top
seven get in, so the Chargers of the number six seed,
the Dolphins who lost to the Bills in a game
that was falsely Marketers is snow game that was bullcrap,
whether it was fine for most of that game, just cold.
But the Dolphins are the number seven seeds, so they're
both eight and six. The Patriots, they not only need

(13:13):
multiple losses or at least one loss here, there and everywhere,
but the Patriots have a buzz saw of a schedule.
They still have to play the Bengals, who have been
very good, and the Dolphins, who have not been very good,
and the Bills. The Dolphin game obviously helps you out
because that's in Foxboro. But you gotta beat the Bengals

(13:35):
at home, and then you have to find a way.
Likely now, maybe the Bills will have anything wrapped up
by then, it won't matter. But that's also on the agenda.
And the three losses, the three strikes against the Patriots.
To lose to the Raiders in this game, inexcusable, lost
to a bad packard team at lambeau Field, and the

(13:57):
biggest of them all, to lose to the Bears, dob
Bears in a game in Foxboro. So bad team man,
bad bleeping team all I. Meanwhile, the postgame Shenan against her,
Bill Belichick, the verbose Bill Belichick here commenting on the
situation and the end of game. This is something that

(14:20):
people who love the Patriots will always brag about situational football.
They're so good they never make these mistakes. The other
teams make these mistakes, not the Patriots. Here's Bill Belichick
asked about all that on that final play and it
was draw play. Was it was an instinctive unro modre.
Was he given the green light to pitch it if
he had an opening? You know, just just mumble and

(14:45):
move on, all right? Mac Jones who tackled How would
you describe Mac Jones tackle my guy? What an embarrassment
to every quarterback that's ever played quarterback. What a disgrace.
Mac Jones should have his helmet ta can away from
him and his shoulder pads taken away from him. It
was so bad, so so terrible. Are we have? We

(15:07):
have audio on the time. I want to hear the
audio on the tackle. I would like to hear that.
That's here. Let's hear the breakdown on the tackle. That
was ola oo leola the mataor Yeah, I gotta tackle
the guy, and it's on me, and it's my fault
if we tackle him, then for I tackle him, then
we play for overtime. So it's on me. Ye gotta

(15:27):
make that not good enough by me? So why do
you you know what? Here's what Mac Jones should do.
Blame Matt Patricia. It's Matt Patricia's fault. Blame the fat guy.
You always blame the fat guy, Mac Jones. He's fat
shaming losing all right. Anyway, here's more from mac Jones.
I always love this, right. It's clear and obvious. The
Patriots lost the game in the end because Jacoby Myers

(15:51):
did the thing you can't do at the time. You
can't do it, but God forbid you say that. No, no, no,
right Mac Jones. Mac Jacoby said just a few minutes
ago to Porters in the locker room that he was
just trying to be a hero, trying to do too much.
I guess how much do you feel for him on
that play? Oh yeah, I think so. Jacoby's one of
the best teammates I've ever had. I mean, he's a

(16:11):
fighter and because everything you can to try and help
the team. At the end of the day, the guys
out there fighting and trying to compete to win the game.
And there's a lot of things I could have done
better in the game, like I said earlier, So we're
not even in that situation. So it's tough. But I
love Jacobe and I love all the guys on our team.
It's not Jacoby's fault. You can you can love him,
and you can go on a nice to a weekend

(16:31):
get away with him, but listen, it's it's his fault. Okay,
I mean, what are we doing here, Come on and
knock it off, right, and it's not boxing. I don't
care how much fight he has. I don't really care
about that. It's football, not boxing. Dumb, dumb, all right, anyway,

Sunday night football. Now, we talked last how about the
tobaccle at the end of the Patriot game with the Raiders,

(18:27):
And we did not begin with the Sunday night game,
but they had their own fire burning there as the
game shifted was supposed to be an afternoon game, but
shifted to the Sunday night television window. The Giants going
down the ninety five corridor for a date against the
team formerly known as the Redskins in Landover, Maryland. And

(18:50):
we don't know if you watched this game, and now
maybe you missed it. Sequon Barkley and a couple of
dazzling Russey had eighty seven yards and a touchdown of
the Giants Wink wink, nod not hold off the Commanders
twenty to twelve in a late game defensive stand for
the Ages. Unless that's not exactly what happened. It was

(19:13):
a controversial finish. The NFL does controversy very well. That
only tells you part of the story. So Washington had
a Brian Robinson touchdown nullified. It was wiped off the
board because of a pedalty as Terry McLaren was called

(19:33):
for an illegal formation. He was lined up, not on
the line of scrimmage. Now that after that particular player,
it was an incomplete pass. So at this point that
was on second down. Then the incomplete pass made it
fourth down, down by eight. It's now fourth down, fifty
six seconds to go in the game. On the clock,
shotgun formation, Taylor Heineke dropped further back to throw and

(19:58):
the passes eight cant plate to Curtis Samuel. Incomplete pass.
But wait a minute, Wait a minute. They went to
the instant replay, they looked at it. Well, they didn't
actually go to the industry replay because there was no
call made. But when you watch the replay on the
NBC broadcast, you see that Samuel lined up to catch

(20:18):
the pass. But on review, Darnay Holmes, what up Holmes.
Darnay Holmes comes over there and he's hugging Samuel like
he wants to have his baby, and the officials swallowed
go whistle, and that's it. Turnover on downs. Washington runs
out the clock and or Giants run out the clock,

(20:40):
and that's all. She wrote. The Giants improved to eight
five and one and they are the number six seed.
The Commandos dropped to seven six and one and they
are the number seven seed. With the Lions and Seahawks
bird dogging those teams, says, there's a bottleneck at the
bottom of the NFC playoff pictures. So let us discuss

(21:02):
the question the more egregious, more egregious end of game
call in this one, the non pass interference call against
the Giants or calling Terry McLaren on an illegal formation.

(21:22):
So I'm gonna I'm gonna put all of these things.
We're gonna go with all the above. By the way,
these are equally horrific calls. I've got Moscow, muddy waters,
and dog whistle, and we will combine all of these
things together and we are going to make a statue,
which is what the officials turned out to be. They were.

(21:44):
They just stood there like statues on that final play
for the Washington football team. So ay, both of these calls,
both the the non pass interference call, which was a
pass inference call, and the call that was made against
the Washington Wide receiver. Both of these were chicken feathers there.

(22:06):
They were both chicken feathers. Now, holy can only on
that one on the play where you were not at
the line of scrimmage. What a way? I mean, we
had a bunch of games that were decided by craziness
and nonsense and all that stuff, but there's no ifs
ands or butts about it. There was some funny business
going on the illegal formation call from Terry McLaren against

(22:30):
him on that and then the non pass interference call,
but both of those ended up favoring the Giants, and
it doesn't pass the smell test. It does not. I mean,
what stinks A weekend filled with did you really make
that call? Did you not make that call? Questionable decisions?

(22:51):
And I had no skin in the game. In fact,
I actually had the Giants and I had them plus
the points, so I was gonna win the game more
likely than not, no matter what happened, because it was
likely going to be decided by a field goal. Even
if Washington had scored a touchdown, they still had to
get the two point conversion, and then if they get
the two point conversion, it likely ends on a field goal,

(23:14):
so it would have been within the margin for error.
But what ended up happening was a trip to Moscow
for the bullshoy ballet. If you know what I'm saying. There,
there was a lot of bullshoy that was happening. Now,
page two, Why two officials in general? In general? Why
do officials avoid making the big end of game call?

(23:40):
So this was brought up on the broadcast, and everyone
who watches football or sports in general, not just the NFL,
we know that the zebra, it is in the DNA
of the zebra. The zebra does not like to make
the call at the end of the game. They want
to let them play, right, let them play at the

(24:02):
end of the game, and they get brain freeze. The
officials latent games. And while we are told that a
foul in the first quarter, a penalty in the first quarter,
is a foul or a penalty in the fourth quarter,
that is not based in any real reality across the board.
This is universal my entire life watching sports. Right at

(24:27):
the end of the game, hairbrained officials are hairbrained. They're
the rabbit in the headlights. They freeze, they freeze up,
and the good coaches they know how to take advantage
of this because the officials become panicked. There was a
famous book written about the Patriots, the beginning of the

(24:48):
Patriots run when they played the Rams, the old Saint
Louis Rams, and at that time, the Rams the greatest
show on turf. They were an amazing offense for at
here or the NFL. And Bill Belichick famously told his
team in the Super Bowl, you could hold, you could
do this, that and the other, clutch and grab because

(25:09):
they're not going to call it because it's the Super
Bowl and they don't make those calls. And the Patriots did,
and they got away with it and they won. And
it's like at the end of the game here you
can grab and hold and the whole thing, just like
Darnay Holmes did. You can give yourself a piggyback ride

(25:30):
on Curtis Samuel and you're not gonna get a penalty
flag thrown against you. Now, the NFL officials, though, if
you look and take a couple of steps back here,
you're getting mixed messages in this particular game, the Washington
New York game, and that's what makes the end of
that game more disturbing, because you've got the referees who

(25:51):
had no problem, none whatsoever, interjecting themselves on the Brian
Robinson touchdown that was taken off the board, nullified because
of a let's say, a technical call, a call that
did not necessarily have to be made, but it helped
the Giants out. And then two plays later the officials

(26:14):
are rubber necking. They're watching as Darnay Holmes does the
piggyback ride with Curtis sam. So you get the NFL
officials who are meddling around with the outcome of games.
And where have we seen this before? The swimming in
muddy waters. The judgment calls, which are the hallmark hello

(26:36):
of the NFL, the ultimate tool of manipulation on the
outcome of games. You want your desired outcome, make everything
a judgment call, not black and white. It's like, well,
I could see it this way, maybe I can see
it another. You put three people in a room and
they'll all have different opinions and there's only two ways

(26:58):
they can go. All right, last word here, So is
there a grand conspiracy to help push the Giants into
the postseason. It's one of the popular theories matter. So
I'm actually shaking my head. No, I don't buy that conspiracy.
And I know that's popular opinion, but don't misinterpret that

(27:23):
with not believing in a conspiracy, right, because I do
believe the deep state is involved here, but it's not
directly to help the New York NFC team get in
the playoffs. I believe there's a greater goal here, a
bigger goal that's going on, and that is to keep
Washington out of the playoffs. It's not so much to

(27:45):
get the Giants in the playoffs. They just don't want
the Washington football team to be interlopers at the playoff parte. Right,
they're the infidels. Why would you not want them there?
Towards Dan Snyder, I'm fitting myself for a size eight
tinfoil cap Dan Snyder. Dan Snyder, he's the black sheep

(28:07):
of the family. Snyder is the gargoyle. He's the gargoyle
for NFL owners and Roger Goodell and I know he's
the commissioner, but the bosses of the owners and all that,
but it's embarrassing for the NFL. So you help out
a little bit, you help out, you push Washington down,

(28:27):
you help the Giants out. Give a little wink and
a nod. You're blow into the dog whistle. If you're
Roger Goodell, you get your desired result. In many ways,
you end up killing two birds with one stone because
you help the New York market, the big New York market,
which hasn't had playoff football in a while, because the
Giants and Jets are both sucked. So you helped the

(28:48):
Giants out, You hurt Dan Snyder and the trifecta. You
also help out a pretty good storyline, the Detroit Lions,
with Dan Campbell making the postseason well chicken soup for
the soul type of story as the Lions attempt to
come like the phoenix rising from the ashes and getting

(29:10):
into the postseason. All right, it is the Bennet Mathers Show.
If you would like to comment on any of that,
you were more than welcome to join us here at
eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox A's eight seven
seven nine nine six sixty three six nine and Ron
Rivera makes a lot of money to coach the Washington

(29:33):
football team. Apparently he wants to keep that money. He
does not want to pay it in a donation to
the NFL. What is my evidence, Well, let's go to
the audio tape the call on Terry, Terry see pretty adamant.
He had put his hand out to the refoot. What
was He explained, What did you guys see on the film?
Looked like? Terry pointed, that's exactly what I thought too,
Thank you. And I gotta ask what the Curtis won

(29:53):
as well? The fourth down? Yeah, I mean I again,
in fact, don't ask me about the refering because answer
the question. No, but you could answer the question. You'll
just get fine. I mean, you're more that you're you're
grown ass man. You could answer the question. You don't
want to answer the question because then that becomes problematic. Anyway,
let's move on now the quarterback. If you're watching the

(30:16):
NBC broadcast, you know that Chris Collinsworth loved to use
the term pixie does to describe the magical, mystical ability
that Washington has to find ways to win games. With
Taylor Heineke as the quarterback, Well, Heineke, he had some thoughts.
He was asked about the end of game. What did

(30:36):
the Washington quarterbacks say, Let's go to the audio tape
on that play? You know, we shifted to a affirmation
and Terry pointed to be on the line. The guy
gave him a thumbs up and we get penalized for it. So,
I don't you know that plays very you know, questionable,
but you know again, you know we had two chances
there at the end. We gotta be better. It'll be better.

(30:56):
He didn't say watched the tape though, like Mac Jones,
he's and does not need to watch the tape. And
speaking of Joneses, though, how about Daniel Jones? Did you
see that? Up two sideline reporter for NBC And it
was like she asked a question to Daniel Jones Iphic Jackson.
I forget exactly how she wordered it, but it was
something like how he helped the team win the game.

(31:16):
And I'm thinking, did she watch the game? I know
she was on the sidelines, but like, what was she baby?
She was watching something on her phone or I don't know.
Because Danny Dimes was not only a quarterback, he was
terrible throughout the game. Washington won in spite of him.
There was five yards of past, no touchdowns, no interceptions

(31:38):
for Danny Dimes, who was just kind of there, just
kind of like background noise. Be sure to catch live
editions of The Ben Maller Show weekdays at two am
Eastern eleven pm Pacific. Hey, I'm Doug gottlie The podcast
is called All Ball. We usually talk all basketball all
the time, but it's more about the stories about what

(31:58):
made these people of their sport and all the interesting
interactions along the way. We talked to coaches, we talked
to players, We tell you stories. You download it, you
listen to it. I think you'll like it. Listen to
All Ball with Doug Gotlieb on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcast,
or ever you get your podcast. It's Mallard. How about that?

(32:21):
To the third degree, this is one big ban gets
grail and Boopoli. So Julian Edelman said over the weekend
that he has been contacted by three teams to come
out of retirement, but he will only return to the
NFL for a contending Patriots team. Do you believe him? Well,
they're not contending, so forget about that. But no, I

(32:42):
don't I give this one side eye. I saw this
story the other day, and it's more likely than not
that teams were calling Julian Edelman because everyone has an
emergency list and they're like, oh, if seven guys get hurt,
we need to bring somebody in and we'll call you
up and all that, and maybe we'll give you a
buzz to help us out. But Edelman's thirty six. He
hasn't in the NFL since twenty twenty. So it's turnout

(33:03):
the lights. The party's over there, he's toasts. He'd be
a crash test dummy. That's what he played like with
the Patriots. And you look at his injury chart a
couple of years ago, forget about it. So I think
what he was doing here was on the radio and Boston.
I think he was just trying to get brownie points
with Patriot fans. Next, so there was one prominent NFL

(33:23):
reporter over the weekend that talked of potential trades involving
some head coaches, including Mike Tomlin and even Bill Bill Belichick. Yeah,
do you think either these guys could get traded? Ben? No.
I think what Mike Florio, who you did not name,
was doing was cultivating clicks for his fledgling website. That's
what Florio was doing. I know because I used to
do the same thing when I had a website, attempting

(33:45):
to pay bills. Bill Belichick's the NFL's oldest coach. He's
not going to leave New England at this point, and
he's pretty much got carte blanche to do what he
wants until he breaks Don Shula's record. And Mike Tomlin
is the third coach the Steelers have had since nineteen
sixty nine, it doesn't seem like the Rooney family is
gonna trade him next. So John Morant was ejected from

(34:08):
a game this weekend after a ref overheard his conversation
with a courtside fan. Should officials be able to give
text for convos with fans? No, it's incompetence, right, nothing
I saw the clip nothing John Morant did rose to
the level of ejection. You have an oversensitive official? Right?
What are you doing? You're you know you're a flower,

(34:29):
mister official. You're a pussy wellow flower? What's wrong with you?
The product is John Morand is not the official. How
did we don't collo you pass us at? That is
