Speaker 3: I said, Oh, that good, That's what we thought.
Speaker 2: Hey, can I ask you a question? I meant to
Speaker 2: ask you this yesterday, we just didn't have time with
Speaker 2: all the talk about the five hundred whatnot. Will Harris,
Speaker 2: the former Gator defensive backs coach who has now ended
Speaker 2: up in Coral Gables with Miami, I'm reading and seeing
Speaker 2: two different accounts of what went on or didn't go.
Speaker 2: What are you hearing? Was he forced out or did
Speaker 2: he just go?
Speaker 4: I'd heard that Miami made him an offer and he's
Speaker 4: taken a bunch of players with him.
Speaker 2: Because his post that he made to Gator Nation kind
Speaker 2: of sounded like he was forced out.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna have to go back.
Speaker 4: And I talked to a couple of Gator people and
Speaker 4: they were under the impression that Will Harris that, you know,
Speaker 4: Mario Cristobal knew that he had he had some players
Speaker 4: that would come with him, so offered him a job
Speaker 4: to come down there, and he's gonna take players with him.
Speaker 2: You see, he's a he's a good, good recruiter in
Speaker 2: addition to Okay, all right, yeah, so that's what I heard.
Speaker 4: But by the way, speaking of South Florida, what about
Speaker 4: this story that came out a couple of days ago.
Speaker 4: Remember Bullygate down in South Florida. Jonathan Martin, the offensive
Speaker 4: lineman Richie in Cognito.
Speaker 3: Got the Dolphins.
Speaker 2: How many years ago was that?
Speaker 4: That was in twenty thirteen. Quite the scandal. There was
Speaker 4: an NFL investigation. Richie in Cognito, the offensive line coach
Speaker 4: of the Dolphins. The trainer of the Dolphins gets fired. Essentially,
Speaker 4: Jonathan Martin came out esped said the whole thing was
Speaker 4: made up.
Speaker 3: Quote.
Speaker 4: I never believed for a second I was being bullied.
Speaker 4: It's a story that I've been trying to fix for
Speaker 4: ten years.
Speaker 2: Ten years, says ESPN made it all up.
Speaker 4: No, no, no, He's saying that his his mom, his mom. Essentially,
Speaker 4: because Jonathan Martin was failing, he was failing as an
Speaker 4: offensive line with with the Dolphins and wanted to quit
Speaker 4: because he wasn't very good and he was having some
Speaker 4: mental health issues, his mom sort of made up this
Speaker 4: story that he was being bullied. Wow, let's see, I
Speaker 4: had a situation with my teammates that I wasn't super
Speaker 4: happy about. But my but my mother had her own
Speaker 4: read on the situation. I hadn't even told my coaches,
Speaker 4: I hadn't told anyone, and suddenly it's on ESPN. I
Speaker 4: didn't believe any of the stances I was taking that
Speaker 4: I was a victim, so she.
Speaker 2: Just she just indiscriminately picked at the time, the biggest
Speaker 2: meat had hot head on the team and Richie he.
Speaker 3: Fit the narrative.
Speaker 4: He fit then narrative, and think in fact, Richie Incognito
Speaker 4: came out on social media and said, quote, Jonathan Martin
Speaker 4: couldn't cut it in the NFL, so he quit, and
Speaker 4: his mom blamed me. They lied to protect his money.
Speaker 4: He wanted to protect his signing bonus.
Speaker 3: Wow, isn't that amazing?
Speaker 4: All of that, all of the people who lost their jobs.
Speaker 4: It's just it's a shame tragic really, Yeah, it's tragic.
Speaker 4: People people's careers were ruined because of this.
Speaker 1: And these are people that had trained and played sports
Speaker 1: and their you know, their entire life leading up to this,
Speaker 1: all the time that an athlete puts into it, into
Speaker 1: the game, and that happened.
Speaker 2: And because you suck and whatever you may suck at,
Speaker 2: that's nobody's fault other than.
Speaker 4: Yours, right, And that's essentially what he's saying ten years
Speaker 4: later or whatever. But man, he he perpet She waited
Speaker 4: this as well. It's not like he was.
Speaker 2: He was.
Speaker 4: It's just my mom making stuff up. He could have
Speaker 4: he could have said this years ago. So yeah, unbelievable.
Speaker 4: By the way, we were talking about the NBA All Start,
Speaker 4: the new NBA All Star Game format yesterday where they had,
Speaker 4: you know, they picked teams, they had four different teams.
Speaker 4: It is being absolutely barbecued by the national media. In fact,
Speaker 4: even players in the NBA are criticizing Traymond Green. Of course,
Speaker 4: Traymond Green came out and said it was ridiculous. He
Speaker 4: was asked to rate the format format on the scale
Speaker 4: of one to ten.
Speaker 2: You know what, he said? Zero zero.
Speaker 3: Zero.
Speaker 4: Yeah, And Draymond Green came out and said the NBA
Speaker 4: game has become boring. I don't know that he should
Speaker 4: be saying this, being a player in the league.
Speaker 2: It is.
Speaker 4: It is how he makes, you know, millions and millions
Speaker 4: of dollars. I don't know if he should be ripping
Speaker 4: his own league, but he's he's come out and said it.
Speaker 4: A lot of former NBA stars like Oscar Robertson are
Speaker 4: essentially telling Draymond Green to shut up.
Speaker 1: But hey, he's just what it is. Didn't he just
Speaker 1: say in the NBA All Star Game is.
Speaker 4: A jenna saying, well, he said the NBA All Star
Speaker 4: Games a joke, but he also said the NBA game
Speaker 4: in general, there's been a lot of criticism of the
Speaker 4: NBA and how they play, and it's become a three
Speaker 4: point shooting contest.
Speaker 3: That's what he said that.
Speaker 2: Has become boring as well, just the way they pass.
Speaker 2: He's got a good point.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I know he does.
Speaker 4: But again, would you know it will be like us saying,
Speaker 4: hey man, this radio station sucks.
Speaker 3: I mean, why would you come out and say something
Speaker 3: like that. Yeah, so hate your own business.
