00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:02.919
<v Speaker 1>Good morning, Kentucky, Ina. It is Kentucky INA's morning news

2
00:00:02.919 --> 00:00:06.400
<v Speaker 1>here on news Radio eight forty whas Coffee in company

3
00:00:06.440 --> 00:00:09.199
<v Speaker 1>with you. I'm Nick Coffee, the company manage on on

4
00:00:09.240 --> 00:00:14.679
<v Speaker 1>alongside today. And the big story, in fact, the two

5
00:00:14.720 --> 00:00:18.039
<v Speaker 1>biggest stories, at least from my perspective right now as

6
00:00:18.079 --> 00:00:20.280
<v Speaker 1>we are up and running here on a Tuesday, is

7
00:00:20.320 --> 00:00:23.120
<v Speaker 1>two mass shootings that took place yesterday here in America,

8
00:00:23.160 --> 00:00:26.719
<v Speaker 1>which unfortunately is no longer really much of a surprise

9
00:00:26.800 --> 00:00:30.679
<v Speaker 1>because it happens way more than it ever should, because

10
00:00:30.679 --> 00:00:33.520
<v Speaker 1>it should never happened, but it happens fairly often.

11
00:00:33.640 --> 00:00:34.280
<v Speaker 2>Dare I say?

12
00:00:34.399 --> 00:00:38.799
<v Speaker 1>And this one, of course, Midtown Manhattan. It was about

13
00:00:38.840 --> 00:00:41.359
<v Speaker 1>six thirty pm. It sounds like there's a forty four

14
00:00:41.560 --> 00:00:46.039
<v Speaker 1>story office tower that has a lot of different businesses,

15
00:00:46.039 --> 00:00:49.719
<v Speaker 1>including the NFL and Blackstone. And we now know that

16
00:00:50.799 --> 00:00:55.840
<v Speaker 1>the suspect here, who eventually killed himself is somebody that

17
00:00:55.920 --> 00:00:58.759
<v Speaker 1>suffers from CTE. So he claims certainly that is going

18
00:00:58.799 --> 00:01:01.560
<v Speaker 1>to be something that they they look into, and who knows, maybe.

19
00:01:01.399 --> 00:01:02.759
<v Speaker 2>He's already being diagnosed with it.

20
00:01:02.799 --> 00:01:08.920
<v Speaker 1>I'm not sure, but just an awful situation. This guy

21
00:01:08.920 --> 00:01:12.599
<v Speaker 1>showed up yesterday after driving I'm sorry. I showed up

22
00:01:12.599 --> 00:01:14.840
<v Speaker 1>over the weekend after driving across the country from Vegas.

23
00:01:14.879 --> 00:01:17.359
<v Speaker 1>It's a twenty seven year old Shane Tamura, who was

24
00:01:17.359 --> 00:01:20.599
<v Speaker 1>a high school football player and again had been living

25
00:01:20.640 --> 00:01:23.599
<v Speaker 1>in Vegas for quite some time, and showed up and

26
00:01:23.799 --> 00:01:27.480
<v Speaker 1>started spraying bullets. According to the NMPD commissioner, And here's

27
00:01:27.519 --> 00:01:29.079
<v Speaker 1>a little bit of what she had to say yesterday

28
00:01:29.120 --> 00:01:30.439
<v Speaker 1>after this tragic situation.

29
00:01:30.879 --> 00:01:34.599
<v Speaker 3>The building security camera footage shows the shooter enter the lobby,

30
00:01:34.680 --> 00:01:39.120
<v Speaker 3>turn right and immediately opened fire on an NYPD officer.

31
00:01:40.000 --> 00:01:42.680
<v Speaker 3>He then shoots a woman who took cover behind a

32
00:01:42.719 --> 00:01:47.159
<v Speaker 3>pillar and proceeds through the lobby, spraying it with gunfire.

33
00:01:48.120 --> 00:01:50.959
<v Speaker 3>He makes his way to the elevator bank, where he

34
00:01:51.000 --> 00:01:54.560
<v Speaker 3>shoots a security guard who was taking cover behind the

35
00:01:54.599 --> 00:01:55.480
<v Speaker 3>security desk.

36
00:01:56.239 --> 00:01:59.680
<v Speaker 1>So one officer who was off duty but working private

37
00:01:59.719 --> 00:02:04.239
<v Speaker 1>secure curity was killed, and then also a Blackstone executive

38
00:02:04.319 --> 00:02:07.480
<v Speaker 1>was shot and killed in the lobby and an NFL

39
00:02:07.519 --> 00:02:11.120
<v Speaker 1>employee was critically injured. And at least four people dead

40
00:02:11.159 --> 00:02:13.599
<v Speaker 1>in total, with one critically wounded. And what we know

41
00:02:13.639 --> 00:02:15.560
<v Speaker 1>about a motive is that he had a note in

42
00:02:15.599 --> 00:02:19.360
<v Speaker 1>his pocket referencing that he had CT and blaming the NFL,

43
00:02:19.759 --> 00:02:21.560
<v Speaker 1>so not a coincidence that he ended up at this

44
00:02:22.319 --> 00:02:25.680
<v Speaker 1>building where the NFL has some of their corporate offices.

45
00:02:26.159 --> 00:02:28.520
<v Speaker 1>But the note cited Terry Long, a former Steeler who

46
00:02:28.599 --> 00:02:32.520
<v Speaker 1>died by suicide after suffering from ct and it expressed

47
00:02:32.560 --> 00:02:35.919
<v Speaker 1>outrage towards the league. Quote football gave me CTE. You

48
00:02:35.960 --> 00:02:39.080
<v Speaker 1>can't go against the NFL. They'll squash you. That was

49
00:02:39.080 --> 00:02:41.520
<v Speaker 1>in the note, as well as a request for his

50
00:02:41.599 --> 00:02:45.120
<v Speaker 1>brain to be studied, an apology to someone by the

51
00:02:45.159 --> 00:02:47.800
<v Speaker 1>name of Rick. We usually end up finding out more

52
00:02:47.800 --> 00:02:50.960
<v Speaker 1>about these individuals not long after these things happened. So look,

53
00:02:50.960 --> 00:02:54.400
<v Speaker 1>there may be more information about this person that I'm

54
00:02:54.439 --> 00:02:56.080
<v Speaker 1>just unaware of as of right now. In fact, I'm

55
00:02:56.080 --> 00:02:58.080
<v Speaker 1>sure there is. But yeah, that's what we know, at

56
00:02:58.159 --> 00:03:00.439
<v Speaker 1>least what I know right now. And just it's a

57
00:03:00.479 --> 00:03:03.120
<v Speaker 1>tragic situation all the way around, and it certainly is

58
00:03:03.159 --> 00:03:07.719
<v Speaker 1>going to get CTE to be back in the conversations

59
00:03:07.759 --> 00:03:10.960
<v Speaker 1>about football, at least for the time being. Now, maybe

60
00:03:11.000 --> 00:03:13.280
<v Speaker 1>this guy is a lunatic and never had it and

61
00:03:13.360 --> 00:03:14.520
<v Speaker 1>he's just off his rocker.

62
00:03:14.520 --> 00:03:17.439
<v Speaker 2>Who knows, But we'll find out.

63
00:03:17.759 --> 00:03:21.280
<v Speaker 1>We will find out, all right, I'm gonna find out

64
00:03:21.800 --> 00:03:23.840
<v Speaker 1>when I asked this question, John, are you a roller

65
00:03:23.840 --> 00:03:24.879
<v Speaker 1>coaster guy?

66
00:03:25.000 --> 00:03:27.319
<v Speaker 4>I used to really be into roller coasters. I've been

67
00:03:27.319 --> 00:03:29.360
<v Speaker 4>to Cedar Point a couple of different times. It's been

68
00:03:29.400 --> 00:03:31.400
<v Speaker 4>a while since I've been on a roller coaster, but

69
00:03:31.439 --> 00:03:32.280
<v Speaker 4>I do enjoy them.

70
00:03:32.479 --> 00:03:33.919
<v Speaker 1>Man, I can't tell you the last time I was

71
00:03:33.919 --> 00:03:36.680
<v Speaker 1>on a roller coaster. And it's not because I'm scared,

72
00:03:36.719 --> 00:03:38.639
<v Speaker 1>because I am, which, by the way, I am scared

73
00:03:38.680 --> 00:03:41.400
<v Speaker 1>of roller coaster scared to death of them. But also

74
00:03:41.759 --> 00:03:43.719
<v Speaker 1>I haven't been to like a theme park in a

75
00:03:43.719 --> 00:03:47.479
<v Speaker 1>long long time, and growing up, I was scared, and

76
00:03:47.560 --> 00:03:49.639
<v Speaker 1>I don't really know what I was scared of. Now

77
00:03:49.639 --> 00:03:51.400
<v Speaker 1>that I know a little more about myself and I

78
00:03:51.400 --> 00:03:53.560
<v Speaker 1>can have some self reflection just knowing how I am,

79
00:03:53.840 --> 00:03:55.680
<v Speaker 1>I'm not at all surprised that roller coasters were a

80
00:03:55.680 --> 00:03:57.199
<v Speaker 1>thing that scared me. And it's not that I think

81
00:03:57.199 --> 00:03:58.840
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna get hurt and then I'm gonna, you know,

82
00:03:59.159 --> 00:04:01.159
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna there's going to be some kind of malfunction

83
00:04:01.240 --> 00:04:03.919
<v Speaker 1>and I'm going to die. It's just the you know,

84
00:04:04.400 --> 00:04:06.120
<v Speaker 1>the lead up to it is what would be not

85
00:04:06.800 --> 00:04:08.840
<v Speaker 1>because if I ever ride a roller coaster, which I

86
00:04:08.840 --> 00:04:11.039
<v Speaker 1>have wrote some my wife did a good job of

87
00:04:11.080 --> 00:04:14.280
<v Speaker 1>really pressuring me, but also kind of like, what are

88
00:04:14.280 --> 00:04:14.639
<v Speaker 1>you scared of?

89
00:04:14.680 --> 00:04:15.240
<v Speaker 2>What are you worried about?

90
00:04:15.240 --> 00:04:16.879
<v Speaker 1>It's gonna be fine, and even if you don't like it,

91
00:04:16.879 --> 00:04:19.839
<v Speaker 1>it'll be over pretty quickly. So I ended up riding

92
00:04:19.839 --> 00:04:22.360
<v Speaker 1>some roller coasters with her at King's Island years ago,

93
00:04:22.480 --> 00:04:24.319
<v Speaker 1>like might have been right around after the time we

94
00:04:24.360 --> 00:04:26.319
<v Speaker 1>got married. But I haven't been on a roller coaster

95
00:04:26.920 --> 00:04:29.519
<v Speaker 1>in years. But I would say I'm someone that is

96
00:04:29.839 --> 00:04:33.120
<v Speaker 1>probably more scared of them than most adults. But there

97
00:04:33.160 --> 00:04:35.240
<v Speaker 1>is a new roller coaster at Cedar Point. Have you

98
00:04:35.279 --> 00:04:37.920
<v Speaker 1>heard about it. I've heard about it is It's called

99
00:04:38.000 --> 00:04:41.839
<v Speaker 1>Siren's Curse. Siren's Curse, so it is their newest roller

100
00:04:41.839 --> 00:04:44.759
<v Speaker 1>coaster at Cedar Point, and it's the first tilt coaster

101
00:04:44.839 --> 00:04:47.279
<v Speaker 1>in the United States, and it's making headlines but not

102
00:04:47.959 --> 00:04:51.120
<v Speaker 1>because of the thrilling experience, but because of the nightmare

103
00:04:51.199 --> 00:04:54.680
<v Speaker 1>experience because riders keep getting stuck mid ride, and it

104
00:04:54.680 --> 00:04:57.600
<v Speaker 1>happened over the weekend, and there's some footage of these

105
00:04:57.639 --> 00:05:00.639
<v Speaker 1>people having to walk down the stage and I'm not

106
00:05:00.680 --> 00:05:02.759
<v Speaker 1>sure how high up in the air they are. But

107
00:05:02.959 --> 00:05:06.920
<v Speaker 1>this ride, Sirens Curse, it tilts riders ninety degrees before

108
00:05:06.959 --> 00:05:10.120
<v Speaker 1>sending them down a steep drop. So four times in

109
00:05:10.160 --> 00:05:12.319
<v Speaker 1>the last month the ride has been stopped mid tilt,

110
00:05:12.439 --> 00:05:17.319
<v Speaker 1>leaving passengers stranded. So the Cedar Points spokesmen compared it

111
00:05:17.360 --> 00:05:20.240
<v Speaker 1>to a car's check engine light, calling it a safety measure,

112
00:05:20.560 --> 00:05:23.560
<v Speaker 1>not a malfunction, and they insist that the ride is

113
00:05:23.680 --> 00:05:27.600
<v Speaker 1>working as intended. It's just a malfunction with the with

114
00:05:27.720 --> 00:05:29.360
<v Speaker 1>the you know, a check engine light coming on and

115
00:05:29.439 --> 00:05:31.639
<v Speaker 1>it not working. I guess that's the comparison they're making.

116
00:05:32.000 --> 00:05:35.959
<v Speaker 1>I actually believe them, But that would make me even

117
00:05:36.000 --> 00:05:38.879
<v Speaker 1>more scared of because if I was if I was

118
00:05:38.959 --> 00:05:42.600
<v Speaker 1>stuck on a coaster upside down, mid tilt, whatever, if

119
00:05:42.639 --> 00:05:45.199
<v Speaker 1>it was thirty seconds, it would probably feel like three

120
00:05:45.240 --> 00:05:47.000
<v Speaker 1>hours to me, and I would lose my mind. But again,

121
00:05:47.040 --> 00:05:48.720
<v Speaker 1>I'm I'm a scaredy cat when it comes to that

122
00:05:48.759 --> 00:05:51.639
<v Speaker 1>kind of stuff. Cedar Point seems awesome. I've never been, though.

123
00:05:51.839 --> 00:05:52.959
<v Speaker 4>There's a ton of roller coaster.

124
00:05:53.040 --> 00:05:55.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah there. You like King's Island, Yeah, I've been.

125
00:05:55.480 --> 00:05:57.199
<v Speaker 4>It's been a long time since I've been in kingsis

126
00:05:57.240 --> 00:05:59.800
<v Speaker 4>What about Kentucky Kingdom? Same deal? Long time?

127
00:06:00.040 --> 00:06:01.920
<v Speaker 1>Want me to tell you sort of like and i've

128
00:06:01.959 --> 00:06:04.240
<v Speaker 1>and i've i've i've I've been on roller coasters that

129
00:06:04.240 --> 00:06:08.720
<v Speaker 1>are a little bit more adventurous and thrilling, if you will,

130
00:06:08.800 --> 00:06:11.120
<v Speaker 1>then this one. But growing up, I didn't go past

131
00:06:11.160 --> 00:06:12.879
<v Speaker 1>the roller skates.

132
00:06:13.079 --> 00:06:15.519
<v Speaker 2>Do you know who the roller skates are?

133
00:06:16.240 --> 00:06:17.240
<v Speaker 4>Life of the ex Post Center.

134
00:06:17.319 --> 00:06:19.800
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, you see him right there. It's one of the

135
00:06:19.800 --> 00:06:21.680
<v Speaker 1>few coasters you can see right there. And yeah, that

136
00:06:21.759 --> 00:06:24.000
<v Speaker 1>was That was as dangerous as I got when I

137
00:06:24.040 --> 00:06:26.480
<v Speaker 1>was a kid. Whenever I started going with a season

138
00:06:26.560 --> 00:06:28.439
<v Speaker 1>pass when I was a teenager with all my friends,

139
00:06:28.480 --> 00:06:30.519
<v Speaker 1>we were in middle school. It's a big thing for

140
00:06:30.560 --> 00:06:32.439
<v Speaker 1>a couple of summers when I was growing up, and

141
00:06:32.480 --> 00:06:34.639
<v Speaker 1>I would always have to use the bathroom whenever everybody

142
00:06:34.680 --> 00:06:36.319
<v Speaker 1>had to go ride the roller coaster. And then finally

143
00:06:36.360 --> 00:06:40.759
<v Speaker 1>I realized, yeah, they know I'm scared, but it worked out. Yeah, now,

144
00:06:40.800 --> 00:06:42.839
<v Speaker 1>I mean I maybe now, Like I think, if my

145
00:06:43.000 --> 00:06:46.199
<v Speaker 1>kid wanted to ride and he was scared, my son,

146
00:06:46.439 --> 00:06:48.399
<v Speaker 1>I would probably have the courage to do it, and

147
00:06:48.399 --> 00:06:50.240
<v Speaker 1>I would just try my best not to let him

148
00:06:50.279 --> 00:06:51.480
<v Speaker 1>see how scared I was.

149
00:06:51.720 --> 00:06:53.519
<v Speaker 4>What if he called you a scaredy cat? Oh, he

150
00:06:53.600 --> 00:06:55.600
<v Speaker 4>I'm sure he would would that, Like, help you go

151
00:06:55.680 --> 00:06:58.240
<v Speaker 4>with him instead. Would that be enough to push you

152
00:06:58.279 --> 00:07:00.680
<v Speaker 4>over the edge to go? I would like to believe

153
00:07:00.680 --> 00:07:02.839
<v Speaker 4>that it would, John, But I don't know. I guess

154
00:07:02.920 --> 00:07:03.920
<v Speaker 4>I won't know until.

155
00:07:03.720 --> 00:07:04.199
<v Speaker 2>I get there.

156
00:07:04.240 --> 00:07:06.519
<v Speaker 1>But he's scared. He's fearless man. He's scared of nothing.

157
00:07:06.600 --> 00:07:08.519
<v Speaker 1>So maybe we'll be there before too long. All right,

158
00:07:08.600 --> 00:07:10.600
<v Speaker 1>let's get to another update on traffick and weather. Also

159
00:07:11.040 --> 00:07:14.000
<v Speaker 1>brooks Howck as he awaits sentencing. He is back in

160
00:07:14.079 --> 00:07:15.600
<v Speaker 1>the news. We'll talk about it next right here on

161
00:07:15.600 --> 00:07:19.279
<v Speaker 1>News Radio eight forty whas. All right, we're just a

162
00:07:19.279 --> 00:07:21.319
<v Speaker 1>couple of minutes away from your next update on traffic

163
00:07:21.360 --> 00:07:24.079
<v Speaker 1>and weather. And I would say one of the most

164
00:07:24.079 --> 00:07:27.360
<v Speaker 1>talked about things throughout this summer was the trial for

165
00:07:27.439 --> 00:07:30.319
<v Speaker 1>brooks how because he was found guilty along with a

166
00:07:30.319 --> 00:07:33.480
<v Speaker 1>couple of co conspirators. And that was a big day

167
00:07:33.480 --> 00:07:36.040
<v Speaker 1>here in Kentucky, certainly a big day in Bargetown. And

168
00:07:36.040 --> 00:07:40.199
<v Speaker 1>now we await the sentencing for brooks Howck. But as

169
00:07:40.319 --> 00:07:43.800
<v Speaker 1>he is waiting in jail, he is trying to get

170
00:07:43.879 --> 00:07:45.439
<v Speaker 1>rid of.

171
00:07:45.319 --> 00:07:46.360
<v Speaker 2>All of his assets.

172
00:07:47.120 --> 00:07:50.439
<v Speaker 1>So a judge is granted a temporary injunction preventing brooks

173
00:07:50.439 --> 00:07:54.720
<v Speaker 1>Howck from selling or transferring any of his assets as

174
00:07:54.759 --> 00:07:58.560
<v Speaker 1>her family is currently pursuing a wrongful death lawsuit. So

175
00:07:58.720 --> 00:08:00.800
<v Speaker 1>this order was granted on the twenty fifth, that was

176
00:08:00.879 --> 00:08:04.120
<v Speaker 1>last week as they fouled emotion citing concerns that he

177
00:08:04.199 --> 00:08:07.759
<v Speaker 1>was trying to liquidate assets to avoid potential civil judgment.

178
00:08:08.480 --> 00:08:14.600
<v Speaker 1>So I did not realize just how much I guess

179
00:08:14.600 --> 00:08:17.079
<v Speaker 1>the Hawk family was worth. I mean, I knew just

180
00:08:17.120 --> 00:08:20.600
<v Speaker 1>by following along this entire story for a decade that

181
00:08:21.240 --> 00:08:23.360
<v Speaker 1>they had you know, that they had businesses, and they

182
00:08:23.399 --> 00:08:26.720
<v Speaker 1>had a lot of properties. But Hawk reportally owns three

183
00:08:26.759 --> 00:08:30.279
<v Speaker 1>companies in eighty three properties in Nelson County valued at

184
00:08:30.279 --> 00:08:35.360
<v Speaker 1>eight point five million dollars. So the legal move here

185
00:08:35.879 --> 00:08:38.039
<v Speaker 1>is tied to a twenty twenty three long wrongful death

186
00:08:38.080 --> 00:08:41.480
<v Speaker 1>lawsuit that the family has filed. And I'm no lawyer,

187
00:08:41.519 --> 00:08:45.480
<v Speaker 1>but I would say that his guilty verdict can only

188
00:08:45.519 --> 00:08:50.120
<v Speaker 1>help them in this specific lawsuit as they tried to

189
00:08:50.159 --> 00:08:55.279
<v Speaker 1>get some type of monetary, you know, payment from what

190
00:08:55.320 --> 00:08:57.559
<v Speaker 1>they've gone through. And of course, now that the trial

191
00:08:57.600 --> 00:08:59.919
<v Speaker 1>has concluded that it was at the hands of the

192
00:09:00.159 --> 00:09:03.759
<v Speaker 1>individual brooks out. But yeah, eighty three properties and three

193
00:09:03.799 --> 00:09:08.360
<v Speaker 1>companies and valued at roughly eight point five million dollars.

194
00:09:08.919 --> 00:09:11.159
<v Speaker 2>I mean, did he think that.

195
00:09:11.039 --> 00:09:14.399
<v Speaker 1>They weren't listening to his phone calls, because prosecutors say

196
00:09:14.440 --> 00:09:17.799
<v Speaker 1>he made several jailhouse calls from the Warren County Detention

197
00:09:17.919 --> 00:09:21.799
<v Speaker 1>Center discussing how to offload these assets.

198
00:09:21.879 --> 00:09:22.360
<v Speaker 2>He told his.

199
00:09:22.320 --> 00:09:24.840
<v Speaker 1>Sister Ronda, quote, They're going to take everything I've got.

200
00:09:25.240 --> 00:09:28.279
<v Speaker 1>He also talked to his mother Rosemary and his brother

201
00:09:28.399 --> 00:09:32.279
<v Speaker 1>Nick and was coordinating just different discussions about how they

202
00:09:32.279 --> 00:09:34.240
<v Speaker 1>can sell some of these properties. And I guess maybe

203
00:09:34.279 --> 00:09:38.639
<v Speaker 1>who would be interested in set properties? So yeah, the

204
00:09:39.240 --> 00:09:43.240
<v Speaker 1>next step here is a potential civil judgment, which we

205
00:09:43.320 --> 00:09:46.720
<v Speaker 1>shall see. It looks as if I believe in October

206
00:09:47.399 --> 00:09:50.840
<v Speaker 1>is maybe when we'll we'll get more of an update.

207
00:09:50.559 --> 00:09:52.000
<v Speaker 2>On this situation.

208
00:09:52.159 --> 00:09:55.600
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, this is going to remain in place. The injunction

209
00:09:55.799 --> 00:09:59.279
<v Speaker 1>is until an evidentiary hearing, which is set for October

210
00:09:59.320 --> 00:10:01.679
<v Speaker 1>the eighth. And I know I'm not the only one

211
00:10:01.720 --> 00:10:04.639
<v Speaker 1>hoping that the Rogers family is successful in this lawsuit,

212
00:10:04.679 --> 00:10:07.159
<v Speaker 1>given everything they've gone through. All right, let's get to

213
00:10:07.200 --> 00:10:09.840
<v Speaker 1>a quick update on the traffic out there. Bobby Ellis

214
00:10:09.879 --> 00:10:11.679
<v Speaker 1>will get us caught up. We'll also take a look

215
00:10:11.679 --> 00:10:14.320
<v Speaker 1>at the forecast from a Melosovich spoiler alert, It's going to.

216
00:10:14.320 --> 00:10:15.960
<v Speaker 2>Be very hot, so be prepared for that.

217
00:10:16.080 --> 00:10:18.200
<v Speaker 1>Also, we'll get another update on sports, and then Roriyo

218
00:10:18.240 --> 00:10:19.799
<v Speaker 1>and Nale of NBC News set to join us at

219
00:10:19.840 --> 00:10:22.639
<v Speaker 1>eight thirty right here on News Radio eight forty whas

220
00:10:24.200 --> 00:10:26.200
<v Speaker 1>all right, final segment for us here at Kentucky had

221
00:10:26.200 --> 00:10:28.039
<v Speaker 1>this morning news coffee and company with you on News

222
00:10:28.120 --> 00:10:31.840
<v Speaker 1>Radio eight forty whas coming up a few minutes, we'll

223
00:10:31.840 --> 00:10:33.919
<v Speaker 1>hand it off to Tony and Dwight. Tony's with me

224
00:10:33.960 --> 00:10:37.159
<v Speaker 1>here in studio John Shannon as well. The big story

225
00:10:37.200 --> 00:10:39.720
<v Speaker 1>here nationally and it's it's i mean, not.

226
00:10:39.679 --> 00:10:40.840
<v Speaker 2>As your choice of leads.

227
00:10:40.919 --> 00:10:44.600
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, two mass shootings, that's really what you pick from here,

228
00:10:44.600 --> 00:10:48.480
<v Speaker 1>which is crazy. But the situation in New York City yesterday,

229
00:10:48.960 --> 00:10:52.080
<v Speaker 1>this young man twenty seven years old, Shane Temura. He

230
00:10:52.120 --> 00:10:54.360
<v Speaker 1>is a high school football player and was living in

231
00:10:54.399 --> 00:10:57.240
<v Speaker 1>Vegas for a while. Drove across the country this past

232
00:10:57.240 --> 00:11:00.240
<v Speaker 1>weekend to New York City apparently waiting to do what

233
00:11:00.279 --> 00:11:02.480
<v Speaker 1>he did, which is show up to this building where

234
00:11:02.639 --> 00:11:06.519
<v Speaker 1>the NFL had some offices, also some other businesses had offices,

235
00:11:06.679 --> 00:11:09.759
<v Speaker 1>and what was discovered is that in his after he

236
00:11:09.799 --> 00:11:14.240
<v Speaker 1>shot himself after killing a few other people and injuring another.

237
00:11:14.919 --> 00:11:17.919
<v Speaker 1>There was a note in his pocket that said it

238
00:11:18.080 --> 00:11:21.440
<v Speaker 1>cited Terry Long, who is a former Steeler who died

239
00:11:21.440 --> 00:11:24.440
<v Speaker 1>by suicide after suffering from CTE. And in the note

240
00:11:25.399 --> 00:11:28.840
<v Speaker 1>he also expressed rage towards the NFL. Here's a quote

241
00:11:28.840 --> 00:11:32.559
<v Speaker 1>football gave me CTE. You can't go against the NFL.

242
00:11:33.039 --> 00:11:35.720
<v Speaker 1>They'll squash you. And then he also in the note,

243
00:11:35.720 --> 00:11:39.440
<v Speaker 1>requested his brain be studied and then apologized to someone

244
00:11:39.600 --> 00:11:44.440
<v Speaker 1>named Rick. So my question, Tony, is the NFL. Clearly,

245
00:11:44.519 --> 00:11:46.679
<v Speaker 1>I mean they're shaken up. They've got an employee that

246
00:11:46.720 --> 00:11:49.639
<v Speaker 1>was critically injured in this situation, so I don't expect

247
00:11:49.679 --> 00:11:52.600
<v Speaker 1>them to be out in front addressing the issue that

248
00:11:52.679 --> 00:11:56.200
<v Speaker 1>is CTE. But this is going to have ct continue

249
00:11:56.240 --> 00:11:58.240
<v Speaker 1>to be and it never really went away, but this

250
00:11:58.279 --> 00:12:01.679
<v Speaker 1>will get it back in the New Cyclist as if

251
00:12:01.679 --> 00:12:04.000
<v Speaker 1>this is ct that led to this person doing this,

252
00:12:04.679 --> 00:12:06.360
<v Speaker 1>what do we do about it? And clearly there's no

253
00:12:06.360 --> 00:12:07.080
<v Speaker 1>perfect solution.

254
00:12:07.399 --> 00:12:10.240
<v Speaker 5>Well, can you get this done, the message done without

255
00:12:10.240 --> 00:12:12.879
<v Speaker 5>shooting other people? Of course, why can't you just go

256
00:12:13.000 --> 00:12:16.240
<v Speaker 5>to the front door of the NFL and kill yourself.

257
00:12:16.240 --> 00:12:18.120
<v Speaker 5>That's fine if you're into that spot, But why are

258
00:12:18.159 --> 00:12:19.480
<v Speaker 5>you taking other people with you?

259
00:12:19.600 --> 00:12:21.879
<v Speaker 1>They may determine that he doesn't even have CT Chris

260
00:12:21.879 --> 00:12:22.240
<v Speaker 1>never did.

261
00:12:22.360 --> 00:12:24.360
<v Speaker 5>We don't know that. But why do you have to

262
00:12:24.399 --> 00:12:27.480
<v Speaker 5>take other people out with you? This is crazy? Then

263
00:12:28.440 --> 00:12:32.080
<v Speaker 5>this is yet another example of the endless conversations we

264
00:12:32.200 --> 00:12:37.240
<v Speaker 5>have that the NFL is untouchable. Nothing touches them. A

265
00:12:37.279 --> 00:12:40.080
<v Speaker 5>couple of years ago, when it was proven that they

266
00:12:40.080 --> 00:12:44.279
<v Speaker 5>were judging black brains not on the level of white brains,

267
00:12:44.399 --> 00:12:48.120
<v Speaker 5>and it was documented, I thought that would be an

268
00:12:48.279 --> 00:12:51.679
<v Speaker 5>end of story, that this would be how many lawsuits

269
00:12:51.720 --> 00:12:53.440
<v Speaker 5>are going to follow? What kind of thing?

270
00:12:53.600 --> 00:12:53.960
<v Speaker 2>Nothing?

271
00:12:54.919 --> 00:12:57.320
<v Speaker 5>I mean, crickets. I couldn't believe that.

272
00:12:57.399 --> 00:12:59.399
<v Speaker 2>I thought that would be a lead story for weeks.

273
00:12:59.519 --> 00:13:00.480
<v Speaker 5>It was nothing.

274
00:13:00.559 --> 00:13:01.720
<v Speaker 2>I couldn't believe it.

275
00:13:01.919 --> 00:13:04.759
<v Speaker 5>And then my own brain breaks because I'm like, how

276
00:13:04.840 --> 00:13:08.320
<v Speaker 5>do how do smart people like doctors do something as

277
00:13:08.360 --> 00:13:11.639
<v Speaker 5>awful as that? And then the movie comes out with

278
00:13:11.679 --> 00:13:14.919
<v Speaker 5>Will Smith. It's what was concussion? Whatever the name of

279
00:13:14.960 --> 00:13:17.679
<v Speaker 5>the movie was. He made the movie about the concussion

280
00:13:17.720 --> 00:13:19.879
<v Speaker 5>and whatever. The first doctor that said, hey, this is

281
00:13:19.879 --> 00:13:24.600
<v Speaker 5>a problem. After that, guess what, Yes, you're correct, it's

282
00:13:24.600 --> 00:13:28.879
<v Speaker 5>called concussion. They there was a that movie affected grade

283
00:13:28.919 --> 00:13:31.279
<v Speaker 5>school and like there was we had numbers problem. We

284
00:13:31.320 --> 00:13:34.159
<v Speaker 5>had to combine a bunch of schools to get one team.

285
00:13:34.440 --> 00:13:37.879
<v Speaker 5>But those numbers, guess what are all back? Everyone's playing football.

286
00:13:37.879 --> 00:13:40.080
<v Speaker 1>Actually just saw that the other day that there was

287
00:13:40.559 --> 00:13:44.960
<v Speaker 1>a real drop in participation with youth football and it's

288
00:13:45.039 --> 00:13:47.679
<v Speaker 1>right back better than ever, which is certainly a good sign.

289
00:13:47.679 --> 00:13:50.639
<v Speaker 1>And I hate saying this because there's no way to

290
00:13:50.639 --> 00:13:54.639
<v Speaker 1>say this without people insinuating that I'm anti football and

291
00:13:54.679 --> 00:13:58.000
<v Speaker 1>people love football so much in America, that's that's a

292
00:13:58.080 --> 00:13:59.600
<v Speaker 1>sin to say that to a lot of people. But

293
00:13:59.639 --> 00:14:01.840
<v Speaker 1>I just and it's a stupid hypothetical, but that's kind

294
00:14:01.840 --> 00:14:04.080
<v Speaker 1>of what radio can be at times. If you introduced

295
00:14:04.200 --> 00:14:07.279
<v Speaker 1>this sport for the first time ever today with these

296
00:14:07.759 --> 00:14:12.039
<v Speaker 1>basically these dudes, they look like they're created in a laboratory,

297
00:14:12.360 --> 00:14:14.519
<v Speaker 1>and you showed it to somebody and what it is.

298
00:14:15.000 --> 00:14:18.080
<v Speaker 1>They wouldn't let us play. No, they wouldn't let us play.

299
00:14:18.200 --> 00:14:22.080
<v Speaker 1>It's gladiator sport. And everyone e correct, you covered it,

300
00:14:22.159 --> 00:14:23.600
<v Speaker 1>You covered it. I covered it.

301
00:14:23.919 --> 00:14:25.960
<v Speaker 5>What you find out when you pull the curtain back

302
00:14:26.039 --> 00:14:28.480
<v Speaker 5>after game two, no one on the team is healthy.

303
00:14:29.000 --> 00:14:31.519
<v Speaker 5>No one on the team is healthy. Everybody plays hurt

304
00:14:31.759 --> 00:14:34.440
<v Speaker 5>for the entire season. So when they're like, hey, are

305
00:14:34.440 --> 00:14:37.120
<v Speaker 5>you healthy, it's almost a funny question, like those players

306
00:14:37.159 --> 00:14:39.399
<v Speaker 5>almost laugh, going, yeah, yeah, I'm healthy.

307
00:14:39.399 --> 00:14:41.399
<v Speaker 6>That's so I told my son when he started football

308
00:14:41.440 --> 00:14:44.320
<v Speaker 6>back in his freshman year in high school. I said,

309
00:14:44.360 --> 00:14:47.720
<v Speaker 6>the only time you will not be nicked up is

310
00:14:48.080 --> 00:14:51.559
<v Speaker 6>the day before your first practice for two days.

311
00:14:51.639 --> 00:14:54.039
<v Speaker 5>It's not for everybody. And if you coach those younger

312
00:14:54.120 --> 00:14:56.960
<v Speaker 5>years what you were about to do, because you will

313
00:14:57.000 --> 00:15:00.679
<v Speaker 5>coach coach coffee. I like the the sound of it.

314
00:15:00.720 --> 00:15:04.039
<v Speaker 5>You'll have a whistle, you'll have the bike shorts, you know,

315
00:15:04.159 --> 00:15:07.720
<v Speaker 5>ready to go as well. You got to make a choice.

316
00:15:07.879 --> 00:15:10.759
<v Speaker 5>There are advisor coaches and there are regular hat coaches.

317
00:15:11.000 --> 00:15:13.279
<v Speaker 5>Like Bob Baty at Trinity. He was the only one

318
00:15:13.279 --> 00:15:15.919
<v Speaker 5>they had advisor. All the rest of the coaches had hat.

319
00:15:16.000 --> 00:15:17.799
<v Speaker 2>I could see him with a lank advisor.

320
00:15:17.879 --> 00:15:21.759
<v Speaker 1>I can't go, No, you're not advisor. Advisor reminds me.

321
00:15:21.879 --> 00:15:24.440
<v Speaker 1>It reminds me of of Scott Saderfield.

322
00:15:24.440 --> 00:15:24.879
<v Speaker 2>I can't do that.

323
00:15:25.480 --> 00:15:27.600
<v Speaker 4>Trucker hat coach. Your hat backwards coach.

324
00:15:27.799 --> 00:15:31.399
<v Speaker 5>Oh yeah, you might be hat backwards or trucker hat.

325
00:15:31.799 --> 00:15:34.120
<v Speaker 2>I don't know. They on the football field. Yeah, is

326
00:15:34.159 --> 00:15:35.120
<v Speaker 2>that a thing I.

327
00:15:37.039 --> 00:15:39.600
<v Speaker 5>Coached on E Trinity, and I knew that these schools

328
00:15:39.600 --> 00:15:42.159
<v Speaker 5>are a little different. John jammed his hand up and

329
00:15:42.200 --> 00:15:45.559
<v Speaker 5>win his first football games, and uh, in the stands

330
00:15:45.559 --> 00:15:48.679
<v Speaker 5>at those schools, they're all surgeons and doctors. So I

331
00:15:48.799 --> 00:15:50.840
<v Speaker 5>come back off the sidelines of a timeout or whatever,

332
00:15:50.879 --> 00:15:53.960
<v Speaker 5>and this guy is messing with John's hand. I go, hey, hey, hey,

333
00:15:54.320 --> 00:15:55.799
<v Speaker 5>who are you. You looked at me and he goes,

334
00:15:55.840 --> 00:15:57.559
<v Speaker 5>I'm a hand surgeon and he was looking at it

335
00:15:57.559 --> 00:15:59.120
<v Speaker 5>and goes, he should be fine, just sit down.

336
00:15:59.120 --> 00:16:02.360
<v Speaker 1>We didn't have many We didn't have many hand surgeons

337
00:16:02.600 --> 00:16:05.320
<v Speaker 1>in attendance at the Bullet County Youth Football League last year.

338
00:16:05.360 --> 00:16:06.840
<v Speaker 2>For Moose's Flag Football League.

339
00:16:07.399 --> 00:16:11.159
<v Speaker 5>Plenty of lawyers, plenty of lawyers to sue.

340
00:16:11.799 --> 00:16:14.039
<v Speaker 1>It's I mean, coaching at this age is like babysitting.

341
00:16:14.080 --> 00:16:14.840
<v Speaker 2>It's so much fun.

342
00:16:14.919 --> 00:16:17.120
<v Speaker 5>But you know, at this at that age, it's you

343
00:16:17.200 --> 00:16:19.200
<v Speaker 5>see the last day a lot of kids play football

344
00:16:19.320 --> 00:16:21.120
<v Speaker 5>like you'll see a hit and then kid comes off

345
00:16:21.159 --> 00:16:22.919
<v Speaker 5>and you'll go, that was his last play.

346
00:16:23.039 --> 00:16:25.519
<v Speaker 1>That makes sense, and that's okay. Yeah, so he's just

347
00:16:25.519 --> 00:16:28.360
<v Speaker 1>playing flag now. But the older teams play on the

348
00:16:28.399 --> 00:16:30.879
<v Speaker 1>other field and you can just tell there's some kids

349
00:16:30.919 --> 00:16:32.720
<v Speaker 1>that get right back up, and others are like, they

350
00:16:32.720 --> 00:16:35.039
<v Speaker 1>can't wait to go home and tell their parents they

351
00:16:35.039 --> 00:16:35.879
<v Speaker 1>don't want to play anymore.

352
00:16:35.879 --> 00:16:38.120
<v Speaker 5>Oh, that's exactly right. Don't make your kid play football.

353
00:16:38.159 --> 00:16:38.639
<v Speaker 6>Don't do that.

354
00:16:38.679 --> 00:16:41.360
<v Speaker 1>It's not for everybody, well said, all right, that'll do

355
00:16:41.399 --> 00:16:43.080
<v Speaker 1>it for us. Tony and Dwei are coming your way
