Speaker 1 (00:00):
It don't be a dunk because right now you want
some real It's time for Donkey of the Day. So
if you ever feel I need to be a doncon
man in with the heat, did she get any day? Please?
Doesn't I had become Donkey of the day.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
The practice club, bitch. I just I just don't. Don't
it can none of.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
Y'all touch Mary on a cultural spiritual level.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
Okay, no way talk here today for Tuesday, January thirteenth,
because all your sports journalists who criticized Jacksonville Free Press
Associate editor Lynn Jones turping. Okay, salutor Lynn Jones Turpin,
drop on the cluthes bomb for that system. Okay, also
drop on the clothes bombs for everyone who listens to
us on ninety three point three.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
To beat in Jacksonville. I'm not gonna lie. I'm a
Dallas Cowboy fan.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
Y'all know that, but I was, uh, I was hoping
Jacksonville pulled it off this weekend because y'all know little
Duball my dog, and love love all my folks in Jacksonville.
And the reality is, I'm not no hater unless your
team is in the NFC East. I realized that about
myself a long time ago. If it can't be my
Dallas Cowboys, I wish happiness and much success for every
team in the NFL, except for the Redskins or Commanders,
(01:07):
whatever you want to call them, the giants in the
Philadelphia Eagles. Okay, So I'm watching the Jaguars game hoping
they could pull it out, but at last they didn't.
They lost to the Buffalo Bills twenty seven, twenty four
and a local Jacksonville News reporter named Lynn Jones Turpin
had a chance to make a comment during Jaguars head
coaches Liam Cohen's No Liam Liam Cohen's press conference, and
(01:29):
she said.
Speaker 3 (01:29):
This tell you congratulations on your success, young man. You
hold your head up, all right. You guys have had
a most magnificent season. He did a great job out
there today. So you just hold your head up. Okay,
ladies and gentlemen, duvall you don't want all right?
Speaker 1 (01:44):
You keep it going. We got another season.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
I appreciate take care of much continued success to you
and the entire team.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
Thank you, man.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
Not does anybody find a problem with what she said? No, No,
that didn't bother me at all. Why because she's a
local Jacksonville News reporter. So clearly she's a fan of
the Jaguars. If that's how she wants to spend her
time with the coach, I don't care. So when I
saw the headline NFL journalist remarks to Jaguars coach after
playoff lost Sparks debate on social media, I said to myself,
(02:10):
y'all really don't have anything better to do. Okay, But
then I saw Matt Barnes from the All the Smoke
podcasts Luther Matt Barnes, and I saw Pat McAfee from
the Pat McAfee show given those journalists who had something
negative to say about Lynn Jones turping some smoke, and
I said, oh, this is a real thing.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
Y'all really was upset.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
You had some reporters arguing that if you're covering the game,
you only have limited time with these coaches and players,
so I guess they want them to ask.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
Questions of substance.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
You had other reporters saying journalists shouldn't showcase their fandom
too much, saying the reporter fan line had been crossed
too many times before.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
Let me read some of these tweets.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
Chick Hernandez mister Chick Sports on Twitter said, not sure
how that credential was given out to Sean Reid on
Twitter said, I promised.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
The last thing we need is more reporters acting like fans.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
Brooke Pryor said, Look, it's a kind sentiment, but it's
not the job of a reporter to console a coach
and a postgame press conference. Presses are to ask questions
to gain a better understanding of what happened. They lost,
we know what happens, or figure out what's next and
do it in a limited amount of time. Michael Eves said, One,
this is inappropriate for this particular working environment. I disagree. Two,
(03:17):
there's nothing quite as comforting as encouraging words from an
older black woman. Three both things can be true at
the same time. Okay, I've read enough. Listen, everybody shut
the f UFB. Okay, like, go touch grass, all right,
go to the Jaguars stadium and touch grass. I don't
even know if they got all official turf for real grass.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
And now I'm not, you.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
Know, one of these type reporters. I'm not one of
these type journalists. So I don't know what written and
unwritten rules are. I don't know what the etiquette is.
But Lynn Jones Turpin works for the Jacksonville Free Press.
She's a fan of the Jacksonville Jaguars. If she wants
to big up the coach for the season, they had,
salute to her. Okay, Jacksonville Jaguars. The Jaguars were four
and thirteen last year, all right, They had the number
(03:58):
three pick in the draft and they grab Travis. This year,
they flipped it and reversed it and finished thirteen and
four and won the AFC South.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
Yeah, big up to them.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
And only a local Jacksonville News reporter could.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
Have done that.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
That shouldn't have bothered anyone, Okay, not one solitary soul.
The fact that people criticize this, it says more about
them than it does Lynn Jones Turping. I don't even
understand the logic of journalists turning into fans being frowned
upon by the media industry.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
There is no person more honest than a sports fan. Okay.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
Sports fans give praise to their teams when they earn it,
and give criticism to their teams when they deserve it.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
All right, It's really that simple.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
In fact, I want more journalists that are actual fans
of the game covering the sport. Okay, a lot of
these journalists in sports, they are trying to be the start.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
They think it's about them. No, it's about the game. Okay.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
So to see a local news reporter from Jacksonville give
some words of encouragement to a coach, to see her
have a human moment with a coach who gave them
a winning season after a losing one, good for her. Now,
let Jones Turpin explain why she chose to do what
she did. Let's go to news for Jacksonville to listen.
Speaker 3 (05:05):
So coach came out and he was his emotions, he
was totally immersed his feelings, he had tears, he bit
his lip. And the issue is the question not necessarily
a question. In the fourth quarter and the fourth down
and the punt came through, well my question was keep
(05:25):
your head up, young man.
Speaker 4 (05:26):
So Lenn I do want to bring out because this
also has a lot of mixed emotions and how people
are responding to this. So Adam Schefner wrote, this is
an awesome post game exchange between a reporter and Jack's
head coach.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
But then Mark Long, who's.
Speaker 4 (05:40):
An AP reporter, kind of went in on this and
he said nothing awesome about this, called you fake media,
said that you shouldn't even have been up there asking
those kind of questions. So when you are that, how
did that make you feel?
Speaker 3 (05:52):
I really I don't take no fence to it. Listen,
I've been in this business, barn in twenty five years.
I've been in viewed from Barack Obama to Terry Bradshaw too. Well,
what's my guy name, Tiger Wood, so he can say
whatever you're worn about fake news. I have a member
of the Black Press n NPA, the National Newspaper Association
(06:12):
that's been around more than one hundred years. I'm the
associate editor of the Jacksonville Free Press, one of the
more than two hundred and thirty African American newspapers still
printing in this country today. In Jacksonville, you have the
Florida Star since nineteen fifty five. We've been around since
nineteen eighty six. In Philadelphia, the Tribune, The Philly Tribune
has been printing since eighteen eighty four. We are loud.
(06:34):
The Michigan Chronicle has been printed since nineteen thirty five.
So support the Black Press so he can call me fake.
Oh you want too, honey, I've been doing this a lot.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
People know me, preacher.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
I love when people use their opportunity to teach man
dropping the clues.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
Boonds for Lynn Jones turnment. You know how?
Speaker 2 (06:50):
You know she made the right decision because look at
all the attention she's getting. All right, God has lifted
her name on a high, and she chose her moment
to lift up to black free press. Oh uh, trople
the clues bond for her again.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
All right.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
She decided to have a human moment in a field
where humanity clearly doesn't exist anymore.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
And I hope this.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
Leads to a lot more opportunities for her and a
lot more access for Lynn Jones turfing Jacksonville Jaguars. Y'all
should give her season tickets, some type of all access
press credentials for life.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
I don't know, y'all figure it out.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
In the meantime, please give all these soul called journalists
and reporters who had something negative to say about Lynn
Jones turfing the sweet sounds to the Hamiltons.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
Oh no, you are the doge.
Speaker 5 (07:32):
Of the day, the dogee all the day. Ye all right, damn,
I love that.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
Hmm, All right, well, thank you for the donkey to
day started the two fingers together. The whole time, the
two people she was even talking to should have been
going like period, talk your.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
Talk, what what is it?
Speaker 2 (07:58):
Portfolio resumes saying what don't play with me?
Speaker 1 (08:01):
All right now?
Speaker 2 (08:02):
When we come back, French Montane and Max b will
be joining us.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
They got a new project out and we're gonna talk
to him next. It don't go anywhere. It's the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
Good Morning Donkey Today is sponsored by renowned personal injury
attorney Michael the Bull.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
Lamb is soft.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
Don't be a donkey When you need a fighter on
your side. If you're ever injured, go to Michael to
bull dot com. That's Michael to bull dot com. And
when you mess with the bull, you get the horns.
It don't be a dunk because right now you want
some real It's time for Donkey of the Day. So
if you ever feel I need to be a doncon
man in with the heat, did she get any day? Please?
Doesn't I had become Donkey of the day.
