Speaker 1 (00:00):
Good morning, Kentucky, Ina. It is Kentucky INA's morning news
here on news Radio eight forty whas Coffee in company
with you. I'm Nick Coffee, the company manage on on
alongside today. And the big story, in fact, the two
biggest stories, at least from my perspective right now as
we are up and running here on a Tuesday, is
(00:20):
two mass shootings that took place yesterday here in America,
which unfortunately is no longer really much of a surprise
because it happens way more than it ever should, because
it should never happened, but it happens fairly often.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
Dare I say?
Speaker 1 (00:34):
And this one, of course, Midtown Manhattan. It was about
six thirty pm. It sounds like there's a forty four
story office tower that has a lot of different businesses,
including the NFL and Blackstone. And we now know that
the suspect here, who eventually killed himself is somebody that
(00:55):
suffers from CTE. So he claims certainly that is going
to be something that they they look into, and who knows, maybe.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
He's already being diagnosed with it.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
I'm not sure, but just an awful situation. This guy
showed up yesterday after driving I'm sorry. I showed up
over the weekend after driving across the country from Vegas.
It's a twenty seven year old Shane Tamura, who was
a high school football player and again had been living
in Vegas for quite some time, and showed up and
(01:23):
started spraying bullets. According to the NMPD commissioner, And here's
a little bit of what she had to say yesterday
after this tragic situation.
Speaker 3 (01:30):
The building security camera footage shows the shooter enter the lobby,
turn right and immediately opened fire on an NYPD officer.
He then shoots a woman who took cover behind a
pillar and proceeds through the lobby, spraying it with gunfire.
He makes his way to the elevator bank, where he
(01:51):
shoots a security guard who was taking cover behind the
security desk.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
So one officer who was off duty but working private
secure curity was killed, and then also a Blackstone executive
was shot and killed in the lobby and an NFL
employee was critically injured. And at least four people dead
in total, with one critically wounded. And what we know
about a motive is that he had a note in
his pocket referencing that he had CT and blaming the NFL,
(02:19):
so not a coincidence that he ended up at this
building where the NFL has some of their corporate offices.
But the note cited Terry Long, a former Steeler who
died by suicide after suffering from ct and it expressed
outrage towards the league. Quote football gave me CTE. You
can't go against the NFL. They'll squash you. That was
in the note, as well as a request for his
(02:41):
brain to be studied, an apology to someone by the
name of Rick. We usually end up finding out more
about these individuals not long after these things happened. So look,
there may be more information about this person that I'm
just unaware of as of right now. In fact, I'm
sure there is. But yeah, that's what we know, at
least what I know right now. And just it's a
tragic situation all the way around, and it certainly is
(03:03):
going to get CTE to be back in the conversations
about football, at least for the time being. Now, maybe
this guy is a lunatic and never had it and
he's just off his rocker.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
Who knows, But we'll find out.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
We will find out, all right, I'm gonna find out
when I asked this question, John, are you a roller
coaster guy?
Speaker 4 (03:25):
I used to really be into roller coasters. I've been
to Cedar Point a couple of different times. It's been
a while since I've been on a roller coaster, but
I do enjoy them.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
Man, I can't tell you the last time I was
on a roller coaster. And it's not because I'm scared,
because I am, which, by the way, I am scared
of roller coaster scared to death of them. But also
I haven't been to like a theme park in a
long long time, and growing up, I was scared, and
I don't really know what I was scared of. Now
that I know a little more about myself and I
can have some self reflection just knowing how I am,
(03:53):
I'm not at all surprised that roller coasters were a
thing that scared me. And it's not that I think
I'm gonna get hurt and then I'm gonna, you know,
I'm gonna there's going to be some kind of malfunction
and I'm going to die. It's just the you know,
the lead up to it is what would be not
because if I ever ride a roller coaster, which I
have wrote some my wife did a good job of
really pressuring me, but also kind of like, what are
(04:14):
you scared of?
Speaker 2 (04:14):
What are you worried about?
Speaker 1 (04:15):
It's gonna be fine, and even if you don't like it,
it'll be over pretty quickly. So I ended up riding
some roller coasters with her at King's Island years ago,
like might have been right around after the time we
got married. But I haven't been on a roller coaster
in years. But I would say I'm someone that is
probably more scared of them than most adults. But there
is a new roller coaster at Cedar Point. Have you
(04:35):
heard about it. I've heard about it is It's called
Siren's Curse. Siren's Curse, so it is their newest roller
coaster at Cedar Point, and it's the first tilt coaster
in the United States, and it's making headlines but not
because of the thrilling experience, but because of the nightmare
experience because riders keep getting stuck mid ride, and it
happened over the weekend, and there's some footage of these
(04:57):
people having to walk down the stage and I'm not
sure how high up in the air they are. But
this ride, Sirens Curse, it tilts riders ninety degrees before
sending them down a steep drop. So four times in
the last month the ride has been stopped mid tilt,
leaving passengers stranded. So the Cedar Points spokesmen compared it
to a car's check engine light, calling it a safety measure,
(05:20):
not a malfunction, and they insist that the ride is
working as intended. It's just a malfunction with the with
the you know, a check engine light coming on and
it not working. I guess that's the comparison they're making.
I actually believe them, But that would make me even
more scared of because if I was if I was
stuck on a coaster upside down, mid tilt, whatever, if
(05:42):
it was thirty seconds, it would probably feel like three
hours to me, and I would lose my mind. But again,
I'm I'm a scaredy cat when it comes to that
kind of stuff. Cedar Point seems awesome. I've never been, though.
Speaker 4 (05:51):
There's a ton of roller coaster.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
Yeah there. You like King's Island, Yeah, I've been.
Speaker 4 (05:55):
It's been a long time since I've been in kingsis
What about Kentucky Kingdom? Same deal? Long time?
Speaker 1 (06:00):
Want me to tell you sort of like and i've
and i've i've i've I've been on roller coasters that
are a little bit more adventurous and thrilling, if you will,
then this one. But growing up, I didn't go past
the roller skates.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
Do you know who the roller skates are?
Speaker 4 (06:16):
Life of the ex Post Center.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
Yeah, you see him right there. It's one of the
few coasters you can see right there. And yeah, that
was That was as dangerous as I got when I
was a kid. Whenever I started going with a season
pass when I was a teenager with all my friends,
we were in middle school. It's a big thing for
a couple of summers when I was growing up, and
I would always have to use the bathroom whenever everybody
had to go ride the roller coaster. And then finally
I realized, yeah, they know I'm scared, but it worked out. Yeah, now,
(06:40):
I mean I maybe now, Like I think, if my
kid wanted to ride and he was scared, my son,
I would probably have the courage to do it, and
I would just try my best not to let him
see how scared I was.
Speaker 4 (06:51):
What if he called you a scaredy cat? Oh, he
I'm sure he would would that, Like, help you go
with him instead. Would that be enough to push you
over the edge to go? I would like to believe
that it would, John, But I don't know. I guess
I won't know until.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
I get there.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
But he's scared. He's fearless man. He's scared of nothing.
So maybe we'll be there before too long. All right,
let's get to another update on traffick and weather. Also
brooks Howck as he awaits sentencing. He is back in
the news. We'll talk about it next right here on
News Radio eight forty whas. All right, we're just a
couple of minutes away from your next update on traffic
and weather. And I would say one of the most
talked about things throughout this summer was the trial for
(07:27):
brooks how because he was found guilty along with a
couple of co conspirators. And that was a big day
here in Kentucky, certainly a big day in Bargetown. And
now we await the sentencing for brooks Howck. But as
he is waiting in jail, he is trying to get
rid of.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
All of his assets.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
So a judge is granted a temporary injunction preventing brooks
Howck from selling or transferring any of his assets as
her family is currently pursuing a wrongful death lawsuit. So
this order was granted on the twenty fifth, that was
last week as they fouled emotion citing concerns that he
was trying to liquidate assets to avoid potential civil judgment.
(08:08):
So I did not realize just how much I guess
the Hawk family was worth. I mean, I knew just
by following along this entire story for a decade that
they had you know, that they had businesses, and they
had a lot of properties. But Hawk reportally owns three
companies in eighty three properties in Nelson County valued at
(08:30):
eight point five million dollars. So the legal move here
is tied to a twenty twenty three long wrongful death
lawsuit that the family has filed. And I'm no lawyer,
but I would say that his guilty verdict can only
help them in this specific lawsuit as they tried to
get some type of monetary, you know, payment from what
(08:55):
they've gone through. And of course, now that the trial
has concluded that it was at the hands of the
individual brooks out. But yeah, eighty three properties and three
companies and valued at roughly eight point five million dollars.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
I mean, did he think that.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
They weren't listening to his phone calls, because prosecutors say
he made several jailhouse calls from the Warren County Detention
Center discussing how to offload these assets.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
He told his.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
Sister Ronda, quote, They're going to take everything I've got.
He also talked to his mother Rosemary and his brother
Nick and was coordinating just different discussions about how they
can sell some of these properties. And I guess maybe
who would be interested in set properties? So yeah, the
next step here is a potential civil judgment, which we
(09:43):
shall see. It looks as if I believe in October
is maybe when we'll we'll get more of an update.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
On this situation.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
Yeah, this is going to remain in place. The injunction
is until an evidentiary hearing, which is set for October
the eighth. And I know I'm not the only one
hoping that the Rogers family is successful in this lawsuit,
given everything they've gone through. All right, let's get to
a quick update on the traffic out there. Bobby Ellis
will get us caught up. We'll also take a look
at the forecast from a Melosovich spoiler alert, It's going to.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
Be very hot, so be prepared for that.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
Also, we'll get another update on sports, and then Roriyo
and Nale of NBC News set to join us at
eight thirty right here on News Radio eight forty whas
all right, final segment for us here at Kentucky had
this morning news coffee and company with you on News
Radio eight forty whas coming up a few minutes, we'll
hand it off to Tony and Dwight. Tony's with me
here in studio John Shannon as well. The big story
(10:37):
here nationally and it's it's i mean, not.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
As your choice of leads.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
Yeah, two mass shootings, that's really what you pick from here,
which is crazy. But the situation in New York City yesterday,
this young man twenty seven years old, Shane Temura. He
is a high school football player and was living in
Vegas for a while. Drove across the country this past
weekend to New York City apparently waiting to do what
he did, which is show up to this building where
(11:02):
the NFL had some offices, also some other businesses had offices,
and what was discovered is that in his after he
shot himself after killing a few other people and injuring another.
There was a note in his pocket that said it
cited Terry Long, who is a former Steeler who died
by suicide after suffering from CTE. And in the note
(11:25):
he also expressed rage towards the NFL. Here's a quote
football gave me CTE. You can't go against the NFL.
They'll squash you. And then he also in the note,
requested his brain be studied and then apologized to someone
named Rick. So my question, Tony, is the NFL. Clearly,
I mean they're shaken up. They've got an employee that
(11:46):
was critically injured in this situation, so I don't expect
them to be out in front addressing the issue that
is CTE. But this is going to have ct continue
to be and it never really went away, but this
will get it back in the New Cyclist as if
this is ct that led to this person doing this,
what do we do about it? And clearly there's no
perfect solution.
Speaker 5 (12:07):
Well, can you get this done, the message done without
shooting other people? Of course, why can't you just go
to the front door of the NFL and kill yourself.
That's fine if you're into that spot, But why are
you taking other people with you?
Speaker 1 (12:19):
They may determine that he doesn't even have CT Chris
never did.
Speaker 5 (12:22):
We don't know that. But why do you have to
take other people out with you? This is crazy? Then
this is yet another example of the endless conversations we
have that the NFL is untouchable. Nothing touches them. A
couple of years ago, when it was proven that they
were judging black brains not on the level of white brains,
(12:44):
and it was documented, I thought that would be an
end of story, that this would be how many lawsuits
are going to follow? What kind of thing?
Speaker 2 (12:53):
Nothing?
Speaker 5 (12:54):
I mean, crickets. I couldn't believe that.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
I thought that would be a lead story for weeks.
Speaker 5 (12:59):
It was nothing.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
I couldn't believe it.
Speaker 5 (13:01):
And then my own brain breaks because I'm like, how
do how do smart people like doctors do something as
awful as that? And then the movie comes out with
Will Smith. It's what was concussion? Whatever the name of
the movie was. He made the movie about the concussion
and whatever. The first doctor that said, hey, this is
a problem. After that, guess what, Yes, you're correct, it's
(13:24):
called concussion. They there was a that movie affected grade
school and like there was we had numbers problem. We
had to combine a bunch of schools to get one team.
But those numbers, guess what are all back? Everyone's playing football.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
Actually just saw that the other day that there was
a real drop in participation with youth football and it's
right back better than ever, which is certainly a good sign.
And I hate saying this because there's no way to
say this without people insinuating that I'm anti football and
people love football so much in America, that's that's a
(13:58):
sin to say that to a lot of people. But
I just and it's a stupid hypothetical, but that's kind
of what radio can be at times. If you introduced
this sport for the first time ever today with these
basically these dudes, they look like they're created in a laboratory,
and you showed it to somebody and what it is.
They wouldn't let us play. No, they wouldn't let us play.
(14:18):
It's gladiator sport. And everyone e correct, you covered it,
You covered it. I covered it.
Speaker 5 (14:23):
What you find out when you pull the curtain back
after game two, no one on the team is healthy.
No one on the team is healthy. Everybody plays hurt
for the entire season. So when they're like, hey, are
you healthy, it's almost a funny question, like those players
almost laugh, going, yeah, yeah, I'm healthy.
Speaker 6 (14:39):
That's so I told my son when he started football
back in his freshman year in high school. I said,
the only time you will not be nicked up is
the day before your first practice for two days.
Speaker 5 (14:51):
It's not for everybody. And if you coach those younger
years what you were about to do, because you will
coach coach coffee. I like the the sound of it.
You'll have a whistle, you'll have the bike shorts, you know,
ready to go as well. You got to make a choice.
There are advisor coaches and there are regular hat coaches.
Like Bob Baty at Trinity. He was the only one
(15:13):
they had advisor. All the rest of the coaches had hat.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
I could see him with a lank advisor.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
I can't go, No, you're not advisor. Advisor reminds me.
It reminds me of of Scott Saderfield.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
I can't do that.
Speaker 4 (15:25):
Trucker hat coach. Your hat backwards coach.
Speaker 5 (15:27):
Oh yeah, you might be hat backwards or trucker hat.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
I don't know. They on the football field. Yeah, is
that a thing I.
Speaker 5 (15:37):
Coached on E Trinity, and I knew that these schools
are a little different. John jammed his hand up and
win his first football games, and uh, in the stands
at those schools, they're all surgeons and doctors. So I
come back off the sidelines of a timeout or whatever,
and this guy is messing with John's hand. I go, hey, hey, hey,
who are you. You looked at me and he goes,
I'm a hand surgeon and he was looking at it
(15:57):
and goes, he should be fine, just sit down.
Speaker 1 (15:59):
We didn't have many We didn't have many hand surgeons
in attendance at the Bullet County Youth Football League last year.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
For Moose's Flag Football League.
Speaker 5 (16:07):
Plenty of lawyers, plenty of lawyers to sue.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
It's I mean, coaching at this age is like babysitting.
Speaker 2 (16:14):
It's so much fun.
Speaker 5 (16:14):
But you know, at this at that age, it's you
see the last day a lot of kids play football
like you'll see a hit and then kid comes off
and you'll go, that was his last play.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
That makes sense, and that's okay. Yeah, so he's just
playing flag now. But the older teams play on the
other field and you can just tell there's some kids
that get right back up, and others are like, they
can't wait to go home and tell their parents they
don't want to play anymore.
Speaker 5 (16:35):
Oh, that's exactly right. Don't make your kid play football.
Speaker 6 (16:38):
Don't do that.
Speaker 1 (16:38):
It's not for everybody, well said, all right, that'll do
it for us. Tony and Dwei are coming your way
next right here on news Radio eight forty whas

I would always have to use the bathroom whenever everybody
had to go ride the roller coaster. And then finally
I realized, yeah, they know I'm scared, but it worked out. Yeah, now,
(06:40):
I mean I maybe now, Like I think, if my
kid wanted to ride and he was scared, my son,
I would probably have the courage to do it, and
I would just try my best not to let him
see how scared I was.
Speaker 4 (06:51):
What if he called you a scaredy cat? Oh, he
I'm sure he would would that, Like, help you go
with him instead. Would that be enough to push you
over the edge to go? I would like to believe
that it would, John, But I don't know. I guess
I won't know until.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
I get there.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
But he's scared. He's fearless man. He's scared of nothing.
So maybe we'll be there before too long. All right,
let's get to another update on traffick and weather. Also
brooks Howck as he awaits sentencing. He is back in
the news. We'll talk about it next right here on
News Radio eight forty whas. All right, we're just a
couple of minutes away from your next update on traffic
and weather. And I would say one of the most
talked about things throughout this summer was the trial for
(07:27):
brooks how because he was found guilty along with a
couple of co conspirators. And that was a big day
here in Kentucky, certainly a big day in Bargetown. And
now we await the sentencing for brooks Howck. But as
he is waiting in jail, he is trying to get
rid of.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
All of his assets.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
So a judge is granted a temporary injunction preventing brooks
Howck from selling or transferring any of his assets as
her family is currently pursuing a wrongful death lawsuit. So
this order was granted on the twenty fifth, that was
last week as they fouled emotion citing concerns that he
was trying to liquidate assets to avoid potential civil judgment.
(08:08):
So I did not realize just how much I guess
the Hawk family was worth. I mean, I knew just
by following along this entire story for a decade that
they had you know, that they had businesses, and they
had a lot of properties. But Hawk reportally owns three
companies in eighty three properties in Nelson County valued at
(08:30):
eight point five million dollars. So the legal move here
is tied to a twenty twenty three long wrongful death
lawsuit that the family has filed. And I'm no lawyer,
but I would say that his guilty verdict can only
help them in this specific lawsuit as they tried to
get some type of monetary, you know, payment from what
(08:55):
they've gone through. And of course, now that the trial
has concluded that it was at the hands of the
individual brooks out. But yeah, eighty three properties and three
companies and valued at roughly eight point five million dollars.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
I mean, did he think that.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
They weren't listening to his phone calls, because prosecutors say
he made several jailhouse calls from the Warren County Detention
Center discussing how to offload these assets.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
He told his.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
Sister Ronda, quote, They're going to take everything I've got.
He also talked to his mother Rosemary and his brother
Nick and was coordinating just different discussions about how they
can sell some of these properties. And I guess maybe
who would be interested in set properties? So yeah, the
next step here is a potential civil judgment, which we
(09:43):
shall see. It looks as if I believe in October
is maybe when we'll we'll get more of an update.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
On this situation.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
Yeah, this is going to remain in place. The injunction
is until an evidentiary hearing, which is set for October
the eighth. And I know I'm not the only one
hoping that the Rogers family is successful in this lawsuit,
given everything they've gone through. All right, let's get to
a quick update on the traffic out there. Bobby Ellis
will get us caught up. We'll also take a look
at the forecast from a Melosovich spoiler alert, It's going to.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
Be very hot, so be prepared for that.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
Also, we'll get another update on sports, and then Roriyo
and Nale of NBC News set to join us at
eight thirty right here on News Radio eight forty whas
all right, final segment for us here at Kentucky had
this morning news coffee and company with you on News
Radio eight forty whas coming up a few minutes, we'll
hand it off to Tony and Dwight. Tony's with me
here in studio John Shannon as well. The big story
(10:37):
here nationally and it's it's i mean, not.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
As your choice of leads.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
Yeah, two mass shootings, that's really what you pick from here,
which is crazy. But the situation in New York City yesterday,
this young man twenty seven years old, Shane Temura. He
is a high school football player and was living in
Vegas for a while. Drove across the country this past
weekend to New York City apparently waiting to do what
he did, which is show up to this building where
(11:02):
the NFL had some offices, also some other businesses had offices,
and what was discovered is that in his after he
shot himself after killing a few other people and injuring another.
There was a note in his pocket that said it
cited Terry Long, who is a former Steeler who died
by suicide after suffering from CTE. And in the note
(11:25):
he also expressed rage towards the NFL. Here's a quote
football gave me CTE. You can't go against the NFL.
They'll squash you. And then he also in the note,
requested his brain be studied and then apologized to someone
named Rick. So my question, Tony, is the NFL. Clearly,
I mean they're shaken up. They've got an employee that
(11:46):
was critically injured in this situation, so I don't expect
them to be out in front addressing the issue that
is CTE. But this is going to have ct continue
to be and it never really went away, but this
will get it back in the New Cyclist as if
this is ct that led to this person doing this,
what do we do about it? And clearly there's no
perfect solution.
Speaker 5 (12:07):
Well, can you get this done, the message done without
shooting other people? Of course, why can't you just go
to the front door of the NFL and kill yourself.
That's fine if you're into that spot, But why are
you taking other people with you?
Speaker 1 (12:19):
They may determine that he doesn't even have CT Chris
never did.
Speaker 5 (12:22):
We don't know that. But why do you have to
take other people out with you? This is crazy? Then
this is yet another example of the endless conversations we
have that the NFL is untouchable. Nothing touches them. A
couple of years ago, when it was proven that they
were judging black brains not on the level of white brains,
(12:44):
and it was documented, I thought that would be an
end of story, that this would be how many lawsuits
are going to follow? What kind of thing?
Speaker 2 (12:53):
Nothing?
Speaker 5 (12:54):
I mean, crickets. I couldn't believe that.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
I thought that would be a lead story for weeks.
Speaker 5 (12:59):
It was nothing.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
I couldn't believe it.
Speaker 5 (13:01):
And then my own brain breaks because I'm like, how
do how do smart people like doctors do something as
awful as that? And then the movie comes out with
Will Smith. It's what was concussion? Whatever the name of
the movie was. He made the movie about the concussion
and whatever. The first doctor that said, hey, this is
a problem. After that, guess what, Yes, you're correct, it's
(13:24):
called concussion. They there was a that movie affected grade
school and like there was we had numbers problem. We
had to combine a bunch of schools to get one team.
But those numbers, guess what are all back? Everyone's playing football.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
Actually just saw that the other day that there was
a real drop in participation with youth football and it's
right back better than ever, which is certainly a good sign.
And I hate saying this because there's no way to
say this without people insinuating that I'm anti football and
people love football so much in America, that's that's a
(13:58):
sin to say that to a lot of people. But
I just and it's a stupid hypothetical, but that's kind
of what radio can be at times. If you introduced
this sport for the first time ever today with these
basically these dudes, they look like they're created in a laboratory,
and you showed it to somebody and what it is.
They wouldn't let us play. No, they wouldn't let us play.
(14:18):
It's gladiator sport. And everyone e correct, you covered it,
You covered it. I covered it.
Speaker 5 (14:23):
What you find out when you pull the curtain back
after game two, no one on the team is healthy.
No one on the team is healthy. Everybody plays hurt
for the entire season. So when they're like, hey, are
you healthy, it's almost a funny question, like those players
almost laugh, going, yeah, yeah, I'm healthy.
Speaker 6 (14:39):
That's so I told my son when he started football
back in his freshman year in high school. I said,
the only time you will not be nicked up is
the day before your first practice for two days.
Speaker 5 (14:51):
It's not for everybody. And if you coach those younger
years what you were about to do, because you will
coach coach coffee. I like the the sound of it.
You'll have a whistle, you'll have the bike shorts, you know,
ready to go as well. You got to make a choice.
There are advisor coaches and there are regular hat coaches.
Like Bob Baty at Trinity. He was the only one
(15:13):
they had advisor. All the rest of the coaches had hat.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
I could see him with a lank advisor.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
I can't go, No, you're not advisor. Advisor reminds me.
It reminds me of of Scott Saderfield.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
I can't do that.
Speaker 4 (15:25):
Trucker hat coach. Your hat backwards coach.
Speaker 5 (15:27):
Oh yeah, you might be hat backwards or trucker hat.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
I don't know. They on the football field. Yeah, is
that a thing I.
Speaker 5 (15:37):
Coached on E Trinity, and I knew that these schools
are a little different. John jammed his hand up and
win his first football games, and uh, in the stands
at those schools, they're all surgeons and doctors. So I
come back off the sidelines of a timeout or whatever,
and this guy is messing with John's hand. I go, hey, hey, hey,
who are you. You looked at me and he goes,
I'm a hand surgeon and he was looking at it
(15:57):
and goes, he should be fine, just sit down.
Speaker 1 (15:59):
We didn't have many We didn't have many hand surgeons
in attendance at the Bullet County Youth Football League last year.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
For Moose's Flag Football League.
Speaker 5 (16:07):
Plenty of lawyers, plenty of lawyers to sue.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
It's I mean, coaching at this age is like babysitting.
Speaker 2 (16:14):
It's so much fun.
Speaker 5 (16:14):
But you know, at this at that age, it's you
see the last day a lot of kids play football
like you'll see a hit and then kid comes off
and you'll go, that was his last play.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
That makes sense, and that's okay. Yeah, so he's just
playing flag now. But the older teams play on the
other field and you can just tell there's some kids
that get right back up, and others are like, they
can't wait to go home and tell their parents they
don't want to play anymore.
Speaker 5 (16:35):
Oh, that's exactly right. Don't make your kid play football.
Speaker 6 (16:38):
Don't do that.
Speaker 1 (16:38):
It's not for everybody, well said, all right, that'll do
it for us. Tony and Dwei are coming your way
next right here on news Radio eight forty whas
