It is a verb to buffalo, which means 58 00:02:52.000 --> 00:02:54.560 to bully or harass or intimidate somebody, or. 59 00:02:54.520 --> 00:02:56.280 A noun to refer to the animal. 60 00:02:56.360 --> 00:02:59.960 The plural is also a buffalo, so a semantically equivalent 61 00:03:00.199 --> 00:03:05.120 form preserving that would be Buffalonian bison, whom other Buffaloian 62 00:03:05.159 --> 00:03:08.240 bison bully only also bully Buffaloian bison. 63 00:03:08.520 --> 00:03:10.280 So if you just but anyways, that sounds like a 64 00:03:10.280 --> 00:03:13.479 bunch of buffalo to me, a bunch of buffalo champions. 65 00:03:15.800 --> 00:03:17.680 I've never heard someone say, you know what, I would 66 00:03:17.719 --> 00:03:19.560 buy the buffalo you that's. 67 00:03:19.479 --> 00:03:20.960 An archaic term. You don't use it anymore. 68 00:03:20.960 --> 00:03:23.120 We also don't really use perchance much anymore. But those 69 00:03:23.120 --> 00:03:24.759 are there are realistic terms. 70 00:03:24.639 --> 00:03:32.240 In that hat.

No, mean, because it just seemed like he's 89 00:04:20.639 --> 00:04:24.079 been a cesspool for problem since entering the. 90 00:04:24.120 --> 00:04:26.279 League, well before he entered the league. 91 00:04:26.480 --> 00:04:28.040 That's what tanker his draft stock in the first place, 92 00:04:28.040 --> 00:04:30.319 because he pushed his girlfriend down, a pregnant girlfriend down 93 00:04:30.319 --> 00:04:31.040 a flight of stairs. 94 00:04:31.120 --> 00:04:34.079 So so what new news you can add two of this? 95 00:04:35.839 --> 00:04:40.160 Well, with the Tyreek Kill thing, I can tell you. Basically, 96 00:04:40.879 --> 00:04:43.240 his mother in law and wife. They were in their 97 00:04:43.399 --> 00:04:46.000 high rise condo. There was an argument that happened, and 98 00:04:46.079 --> 00:04:48.800 he picked up a laptop and threw it and it 99 00:04:48.920 --> 00:04:51.399 hit the floor and broke, and then picked up the 100 00:04:51.480 --> 00:04:53.560 child and walked out to the balcony. And at that 101 00:04:53.639 --> 00:04:56.680 point his mother in law, his wife's mother called police 102 00:04:56.680 --> 00:04:57.759 and said that there was and he was. 103 00:04:57.920 --> 00:04:59.680 They were both yelling and arguing and all that kind 104 00:04:59.720 --> 00:05:00.920 of stuff. There was an altercation. 105 00:05:01.000 --> 00:05:04.079 There was no physical assault, although when they arrived on 106 00:05:04.120 --> 00:05:08.800 the scene, officers noted a bruise on her left forearm. 107 00:05:09.120 --> 00:05:12.319 They she attributed that to just being clumsy. I'm doing 108 00:05:12.360 --> 00:05:15.399 air quotes in the studio right now, and they so 109 00:05:15.439 --> 00:05:18.920 they didn't charge anybody with anything but that that is 110 00:05:18.920 --> 00:05:19.439 what happened. 111 00:05:19.680 --> 00:05:21.720 The dolphins, are you just like done? 112 00:05:21.879 --> 00:05:24.040 Well, I'm gonna tell you, I'd heard a rumor a 113 00:05:24.040 --> 00:05:26.639 couple of weeks ago, a couple of weeks ago, and 114 00:05:26.680 --> 00:05:28.199 it's funny because this is all going to tie back 115 00:05:28.199 --> 00:05:29.720 together with the Isaiah bo I'm thinking of a second. 116 00:05:30.040 --> 00:05:31.560 I'd heard a rumor a couple of weeks ago. The 117 00:05:31.600 --> 00:05:35.759 Dolphins have been secretly scouting wide receivers and that Bond's 118 00:05:35.879 --> 00:05:41.120 teammate Matthew Golden might be somebody that Miami might look 119 00:05:41.160 --> 00:05:43.519 at there with their first round draft pick. If you 120 00:05:43.560 --> 00:05:45.519 look at the betting ads of this, I'm not looking 121 00:05:45.519 --> 00:05:47.199 at them now, but as of this morning, the Dolphins 122 00:05:47.199 --> 00:05:48.959 to draft a wide receiver in the first round is 123 00:05:48.959 --> 00:05:49.839 plus two thousands. 124 00:05:49.839 --> 00:05:51.319 So I took out a little ticket on that just 125 00:05:51.360 --> 00:05:54.000 to just to take one, just just a sprinkle it. 126 00:05:54.199 --> 00:05:56.120 Sprinkle it with a little bit of a kishe just 127 00:05:56.160 --> 00:05:56.879 see what happened? 128 00:05:57.639 --> 00:05:59.759 Grant's over there laughing behind the glass. 129 00:06:00.959 --> 00:06:03.120 I don't know if there's been any other player in 130 00:06:03.160 --> 00:06:08.639 the past ten years who have really damaged his personality 131 00:06:09.319 --> 00:06:12.319 and his persona, his brand both on and off the field, 132 00:06:13.000 --> 00:06:15.480 like a Tyreek Hill. I mean, I could think about 133 00:06:15.560 --> 00:06:20.000 maybe Obj, but not to this magnitude. I mean OBJ 134 00:06:20.199 --> 00:06:22.639 has done it to a point where, I mean he's 135 00:06:22.680 --> 00:06:26.439 whined and complaining too much, and a lot of NFL 136 00:06:26.439 --> 00:06:29.560 people don't really like that. But to find yourself in 137 00:06:29.639 --> 00:06:33.040 these types of situations, and I don't want to say constantly, 138 00:06:33.120 --> 00:06:36.720 because like you talked about, you had the domestic situation 139 00:06:36.920 --> 00:06:41.360 before entering the league. Now you have this particular one 140 00:06:41.399 --> 00:06:45.279 that's taking place. You had the one with the running 141 00:06:45.319 --> 00:06:47.120 with the police officers right before the. 142 00:06:47.079 --> 00:06:48.040 Game down in Miami. 143 00:06:49.560 --> 00:06:53.519 So I mean, if you're a team and you're Mike McDaniels, 144 00:06:54.279 --> 00:06:57.600 you're trying to or you want to remove yourself or 145 00:06:57.639 --> 00:07:00.839 remove Tyreek Hill from the organization. Then we know about 146 00:07:00.879 --> 00:07:03.560 what he said after they lost the playoff game, and 147 00:07:03.600 --> 00:07:05.600 then you get these kind of cryptic tweets. 148 00:07:06.399 --> 00:07:09.360 So I mean, oh, look, say what you want to say. 149 00:07:09.399 --> 00:07:11.279 Even Tara always wasn't this bad. 150 00:07:11.920 --> 00:07:13.800 Kara always was a diva, but this wasn't. 151 00:07:13.839 --> 00:07:14.879 I mean, he wasn't this bad. 152 00:07:15.240 --> 00:07:19.800 He wasn't like choking his pregnant girlfriend, which he'll admitted 153 00:07:19.800 --> 00:07:23.759 to doing back in twenty fifteen before the NFL Draft. 154 00:07:24.560 --> 00:07:26.680 Do you guys ever have like when you're growing up, 155 00:07:26.720 --> 00:07:28.519 your parents would be like, you don't need to hang 156 00:07:28.560 --> 00:07:30.680 around that kid because just trouble follows him. 157 00:07:30.759 --> 00:07:32.720 Yea, his name, but it feels like with Tyreek Hill. 158 00:07:32.800 --> 00:07:35.480 Yeah, his name was Jamal in my neighborhood, Austin. 159 00:07:35.560 --> 00:07:38.439 Yeah, Jamal Bench that allbright. 160 00:07:42.160 --> 00:07:42.360 It was. 161 00:07:42.360 --> 00:07:44.480 There's two guys I'm not gonna mention their names, but 162 00:07:44.680 --> 00:07:46.920 there are two guys that you know, my parents generally 163 00:07:46.920 --> 00:07:50.000 did not want me hanging around with for those types 164 00:07:50.040 --> 00:07:52.360 of reasons. Trouble just all. They just always seem to 165 00:07:52.360 --> 00:07:54.040 be in trouble. One of those guys wound up going 166 00:07:54.079 --> 00:07:57.040 to prison. He just got out three years ago. He's 167 00:07:57.040 --> 00:07:59.160 really turned his life around now, but he was in 168 00:07:59.199 --> 00:08:00.439 prison for like a decade. 169 00:08:00.639 --> 00:08:03.600 So my buddy growing up that my parents hate it 170 00:08:03.720 --> 00:08:05.240 is in prison right now. 171 00:08:05.360 --> 00:08:07.879 I think most I think most people who know my 172 00:08:08.000 --> 00:08:10.600 story and they know my brother was in the federal 173 00:08:10.639 --> 00:08:11.680 prison for six years. 174 00:08:11.720 --> 00:08:15.600 So yeah, people can make mistakes, certainly. I mean, it's okay, 175 00:08:15.680 --> 00:08:16.639 you know, and I get it. 176 00:08:16.680 --> 00:08:18.240 And I don't want to say I'm just sitting here 177 00:08:18.279 --> 00:08:21.519 on my ivory tower, but you know, we all make mistakes. 178 00:08:21.600 --> 00:08:25.160 And like I tell my kids, there are mistakes and 179 00:08:25.199 --> 00:08:26.959 there's like you've really stepped. 180 00:08:26.639 --> 00:08:28.160 Your foot in it type of thing. 181 00:08:28.680 --> 00:08:34.120 And Tyrie continues to step his foot into situations like this. 182 00:08:34.480 --> 00:08:37.919 And if you are NFL owner and you're looking at 183 00:08:38.000 --> 00:08:41.759 the other fifty guys on your roster, you don't want 184 00:08:41.840 --> 00:08:44.519 them to be tainted by this because they can't go 185 00:08:44.600 --> 00:08:47.000 out and do their job because they're constantly being asked 186 00:08:47.039 --> 00:08:50.720 about you. And now this is becoming somewhat of a distraction. 187 00:08:50.879 --> 00:08:53.440 So I mean, the no Migro day is the way 188 00:08:53.440 --> 00:08:57.200 that I do. I'm sure they're having these discussions insign 189 00:08:57.240 --> 00:08:59.039 of the Dolphins organizations. 190 00:08:59.720 --> 00:09:02.600 It's more or less not time for Tyreek. 191 00:09:02.320 --> 00:09:05.240 To move on because he wants to separate himself from us. 192 00:09:05.720 --> 00:09:09.120 It's it's time for us to divorce ourselves from him. 193 00:09:09.320 --> 00:09:11.519 And you know, just like Kansas City, Kansas City finally 194 00:09:11.519 --> 00:09:12.279 got tired of his act. 195 00:09:12.279 --> 00:09:14.080 He had to get some other things going on there. 196 00:09:14.120 --> 00:09:16.360 They finally got tired of every year and your request 197 00:09:16.360 --> 00:09:18.600 to get more money. Tyreek kills a hell of a 198 00:09:18.600 --> 00:09:20.679 football player, but you know that there comes a point 199 00:09:20.720 --> 00:09:23.279 with every person, with every whatever, in any job, no 200 00:09:23.279 --> 00:09:25.639 matter how good you are at something, somebody's asking he's 201 00:09:25.679 --> 00:09:28.879 the juice worth the squeeze. And I think Tyreek Hill 202 00:09:28.919 --> 00:09:30.799 has hit that limit with the Miami Dolphins. I would 203 00:09:30.799 --> 00:09:33.039 not be surprised if he were in another uniform to 204 00:09:33.039 --> 00:09:33.639 start the season. 205 00:09:34.200 --> 00:09:38.000 Well, see you say another uniform, somebody else gotta take a. 206 00:09:37.960 --> 00:09:40.639 Check based on what you're seeing in Miami. 207 00:09:40.879 --> 00:09:44.840 Somebody would you be willing You know the answer to 208 00:09:44.840 --> 00:09:47.000 this already, though you know the answer to that. I 209 00:09:47.080 --> 00:09:49.799 know that someone tell he proves he doesn't have the balance, 210 00:09:49.879 --> 00:09:50.600 someone else. 211 00:09:50.399 --> 00:09:53.000 Will take a chance because people are desperate. 212 00:09:53.559 --> 00:09:56.720 You know. It's one of these relationship types of things, 213 00:09:56.960 --> 00:10:00.360 right because you think that, oh, somehow I'm I'm gonna 214 00:10:00.360 --> 00:10:03.039 be able to change this person. This is a cheating man, 215 00:10:03.080 --> 00:10:05.639 this is a cheating woman. So when I get with them, 216 00:10:05.639 --> 00:10:08.080 I'm gonna be the person to somewhat turn them around. 217 00:10:08.279 --> 00:10:11.919 And yes, there are people in league organizations all over 218 00:10:11.960 --> 00:10:14.279 the league they said, okay, well, they see more of 219 00:10:14.320 --> 00:10:17.320 the talent that the player has and they think that 220 00:10:17.360 --> 00:10:21.399 they can overcome the headache because they have a more 221 00:10:21.919 --> 00:10:28.159 I guess, leadership driven locker room. And sometimes you can't 222 00:10:28.200 --> 00:10:31.519 overcome it because this is who this individual is. 223 00:10:32.799 --> 00:10:33.639 This is who they are. 224 00:10:33.759 --> 00:10:36.000 Well you and are you and I both have a 225 00:10:36.000 --> 00:10:40.279 good friend in common who got four chances despite being 226 00:10:40.480 --> 00:10:43.440 before he cleaned his life up. Uh first with the 227 00:10:43.519 --> 00:10:45.720 Chargers and the Bucks and the Cowboys and the Seahawks. 228 00:10:45.720 --> 00:10:47.519 And that was Ryan Leaf, Yes, and he couldn't get 229 00:10:47.519 --> 00:10:49.600 his accate. And then he turned around and started coaching 230 00:10:49.639 --> 00:10:51.720 and doing all that stuff at the collegiate level and 231 00:10:51.720 --> 00:10:52.279 he got he got. 232 00:10:52.240 --> 00:10:53.720 Kicked out with us at three different jobs. 233 00:10:53.759 --> 00:10:55.360 I think one of them where even stealing from student, 234 00:10:55.360 --> 00:10:57.320 you know, those kinds of things. Like Ryan, to his credit, 235 00:10:57.399 --> 00:10:59.879 has turned his life around as an absolute beacon in 236 00:11:00.080 --> 00:11:02.519 terms of who he is now. But he will admit, 237 00:11:02.559 --> 00:11:05.360 he will absolutely admit, like you are way more chances 238 00:11:05.399 --> 00:11:06.120 than he should have. 239 00:11:06.399 --> 00:11:10.440 Yeah, and Ryan was having his issues with substance abuse, 240 00:11:10.559 --> 00:11:13.320 right and I tell him, I say, look, man, big 241 00:11:13.320 --> 00:11:18.080 shout out to you for whatever impinges on you to 242 00:11:18.200 --> 00:11:21.879 make you change your mind. And sometimes all that takes 243 00:11:22.080 --> 00:11:25.679 is seeing your wife, seeing your kids and thinking what 244 00:11:25.720 --> 00:11:29.080 would life be without them, to make them change, to 245 00:11:29.120 --> 00:11:30.039 make you change your mind. 246 00:11:30.080 --> 00:11:33.279 And I think that's what happened to Ryan, and I'm 247 00:11:33.320 --> 00:11:33.879 happy for him. 248 00:11:33.879 --> 00:11:39.000 And I'm not saying that maybe Tyreek can't change his ways. 249 00:11:39.159 --> 00:11:42.720 Maybe could this be the coming to Jesus, you know 250 00:11:42.919 --> 00:11:46.320 moment for him. But it takes a team or someone 251 00:11:46.360 --> 00:11:48.519 in an organization and to say, you know what, enough 252 00:11:48.600 --> 00:11:51.639 is enough, Even though we may not want you here 253 00:11:51.679 --> 00:11:53.480 as a plan because we feel as though you are 254 00:11:53.519 --> 00:11:56.399 a distraction, I still want to help you as a 255 00:11:56.480 --> 00:11:57.080 human being. 256 00:11:57.200 --> 00:11:58.639 But it still takes the person. 257 00:11:59.000 --> 00:12:02.360 I mean, my brother seven years sober now, thank god. 258 00:12:02.840 --> 00:12:08.240 But it takes the individual making that choice to want 259 00:12:08.279 --> 00:12:10.480 to change. You can have as many people in your 260 00:12:10.480 --> 00:12:12.440 life tell you that you should change and we want 261 00:12:12.480 --> 00:12:13.919 you to change, and we know you can be a 262 00:12:13.919 --> 00:12:17.639 better person, but it takes the individual making that personal 263 00:12:17.799 --> 00:12:19.240 choice to be better. 264 00:12:19.600 --> 00:12:19.759 Oh. 265 00:12:19.799 --> 00:12:22.360 I absolutely agree with that, and I can speak to 266 00:12:22.399 --> 00:12:24.240 that from personal experience as far as some of that 267 00:12:24.240 --> 00:12:26.759 stuff goes. But what I will tell you is if 268 00:12:26.799 --> 00:12:31.039 you're talented, charismatic, and if you are able to do 269 00:12:31.080 --> 00:12:33.399 something whatever that may be, whether it's playing football or 270 00:12:33.559 --> 00:12:36.600 whatever it may be, you will continue to get chances 271 00:12:36.679 --> 00:12:38.240 until people just eventually give up on you. 272 00:12:38.279 --> 00:12:39.000 Look at Josh Gord. 273 00:12:39.039 --> 00:12:41.000 Josh Gord was the Cleveland Browse, the New England Patriots, 274 00:12:41.000 --> 00:12:43.399 Seattle Seahawks, Kansas City Chiefs, Tennessee Titans. 275 00:12:43.480 --> 00:12:45.200 He kept getting chance. That's a chance. 276 00:12:45.399 --> 00:12:47.799 Finally got it turned around later on, but it took 277 00:12:47.879 --> 00:12:49.679 him along time. There's another substance to it. 278 00:12:49.679 --> 00:12:52.000 Took him a long time to get that, to get 279 00:12:52.000 --> 00:12:52.720 that under control. 280 00:12:52.799 --> 00:12:55.919 Because the way I'll look at it, and I'll speak 281 00:12:55.960 --> 00:12:58.600 to it from this standpoint, the fact that I grew 282 00:12:58.639 --> 00:13:02.039 up in Miami and and I grew up around drug 283 00:13:02.039 --> 00:13:05.720 culture and then watch it destroy families in my neighborhood. 284 00:13:06.120 --> 00:13:08.960 I've watched it destroy members of my own family. 285 00:13:09.440 --> 00:13:10.120 Grant is right. 286 00:13:10.200 --> 00:13:14.080 It takes that person being willing to see the errors 287 00:13:14.080 --> 00:13:16.440 in their ways to want to change. But for certain 288 00:13:16.440 --> 00:13:18.960 people who are going through that, they have to hit 289 00:13:19.080 --> 00:13:24.000 rock bottom first, right. And also you need people around 290 00:13:24.039 --> 00:13:26.960 you who care because usually if someone is going through 291 00:13:26.960 --> 00:13:30.159 that situation that Grant described about his brother that I've 292 00:13:30.200 --> 00:13:34.000 seen some of my aunts and uncles go through, they 293 00:13:34.039 --> 00:13:36.200 have individuals who are aiding into betting them. 294 00:13:36.440 --> 00:13:38.600 Yeah, you got to you have to find the turnaround 295 00:13:38.600 --> 00:13:40.200 put whether it is rock bottom or whatever. And I 296 00:13:40.200 --> 00:13:42.879 don't know where Grant's a brother found the turnaroup what 297 00:13:42.960 --> 00:13:43.120 was it? 298 00:13:43.159 --> 00:13:45.399 A rock bottom moment? About three times? 299 00:13:45.440 --> 00:13:48.799 Okay, I can speak to some of that from from 300 00:13:48.799 --> 00:13:51.120 my own you know, Like I said, my brother was 301 00:13:51.159 --> 00:13:52.480 in the federal pen for six years. 302 00:13:52.480 --> 00:13:54.559 You finally turned his life around and doing well. 303 00:13:54.679 --> 00:13:58.720 Was theready My step brother didn't get it together, wound 304 00:13:58.799 --> 00:14:01.120 up odn you know, and it ended up being the 305 00:14:01.200 --> 00:14:03.320 end of that, Like he just couldn't couldn't get it together. 306 00:14:03.399 --> 00:14:06.480 So you know, we've seen that with Tyreek Hill. Obviously, 307 00:14:06.480 --> 00:14:07.799 these are substance of these problems. 308 00:14:07.879 --> 00:14:12.039 This is a he's been enabled and not gotten his 309 00:14:12.120 --> 00:14:15.080 head on street because he's so supremely talented that people 310 00:14:15.080 --> 00:14:16.960 are willing to look the other way a little bit 311 00:14:17.559 --> 00:14:20.360 on these things. To a point, Kansas City did it 312 00:14:20.399 --> 00:14:22.080 for a while, Miami's done it for a while. Is 313 00:14:22.120 --> 00:14:25.679 getting there. There are people that when you are very talented, 314 00:14:25.720 --> 00:14:27.559 they'll try to sweep your problems under the rug. 315 00:14:27.600 --> 00:14:28.840 They'll try to look the other way. 316 00:14:28.919 --> 00:14:30.919 And I'm going to give you another example of DeShawn 317 00:14:30.960 --> 00:14:32.080 Watson down there in Houston. 318 00:14:32.159 --> 00:14:34.480 The Texans knew what was going on with DeShawn Watson. 319 00:14:35.559 --> 00:14:37.200 They knew and they went. 320 00:14:37.080 --> 00:14:38.399 And got they went out, in fact, they went out 321 00:14:38.440 --> 00:14:40.240 and got him a hotel room for him to go. 322 00:14:40.320 --> 00:14:41.440 You know, do it this, Custos. 323 00:14:41.279 --> 00:14:44.440 Supers, you are not helping. No, you're an able person, 324 00:14:44.519 --> 00:14:46.080 know the player in that sensu way. 325 00:14:46.240 --> 00:14:49.360 You're just trying to It's in that moment those relationships 326 00:14:49.399 --> 00:14:52.279 become transactional because that moment what the Houston Texans were 327 00:14:52.279 --> 00:14:54.559 trying to do, because we get out of Deshaun Watson 328 00:14:54.559 --> 00:14:57.360 what they wanted and hope that it went away by 329 00:14:57.639 --> 00:14:59.519 if it happens in that hotel room we have security 330 00:14:59.559 --> 00:15:00.840 on that or you know whatever. 331 00:15:02.840 --> 00:15:03.720 It's the same thing here. 332 00:15:04.039 --> 00:15:08.440 Miami Dolphins now are enabling Tyreek Hilt by continuing to 333 00:15:08.480 --> 00:15:12.799 say this behavior and until they move on from it, 334 00:15:12.879 --> 00:15:15.159 Kansas City finally got tired of It's like Antonio Brown 335 00:15:15.480 --> 00:15:17.120 is probably the better example of this. Look at all 336 00:15:17.159 --> 00:15:17.919 the you know. 337 00:15:17.919 --> 00:15:20.399 All the talent in the world, people will put up. 338 00:15:20.279 --> 00:15:22.039 With it to a point if you're if you're helping 339 00:15:22.080 --> 00:15:24.840 them out with something, if you're a supremely talented athlete, 340 00:15:24.879 --> 00:15:26.200 people look the other way on stuff. 341 00:15:26.240 --> 00:15:29.240 And if there's no repercussions, the behavior is not going 342 00:15:29.320 --> 00:15:30.279 to change. 343 00:15:30.240 --> 00:15:33.159 Right, Like, nobody's gonna make that decision to change themselves 344 00:15:33.159 --> 00:15:34.639 on their own until they have to see. 345 00:15:34.679 --> 00:15:37.399 This is why I'm gonna I'm gonna tie this in 346 00:15:37.440 --> 00:15:42.200 to the Nugget situation in Coach Malone because I feel 347 00:15:42.320 --> 00:15:44.200 and and I've never been in the building, but I 348 00:15:44.240 --> 00:15:46.120 feel as though that's what Coach Malone was trying to 349 00:15:46.120 --> 00:15:49.559 do hold this players accountable, constantly bringing up the fact 350 00:15:49.600 --> 00:15:53.360 that not seeing effort, guys not watching film, hoping that 351 00:15:53.360 --> 00:15:56.039 that would force the leadership, either the players in the 352 00:15:56.039 --> 00:15:59.080 locker room or upper management to do something about it. 353 00:15:59.240 --> 00:16:01.799 But when you start to aid in the bed of 354 00:16:01.879 --> 00:16:05.639 the individuals and you start putting your arm around them, it's. 355 00:16:05.480 --> 00:16:06.320 Okay, I got you. 356 00:16:06.440 --> 00:16:09.320 Whatever we're going to push out this discipline or these 357 00:16:09.320 --> 00:16:11.440 morals and ethics, you're not really helping yourself. 358 00:16:11.440 --> 00:16:12.039 You're not really. 359 00:16:11.919 --> 00:16:16.000 Helping that person. You're absolutely hurting that individual. And it 360 00:16:16.080 --> 00:16:19.000 sucks when people who are in position where they can 361 00:16:19.080 --> 00:16:21.360 help players don't actually do it. 362 00:16:21.519 --> 00:16:23.720 That's why I asked that respect for guys like Tony Dungee, 363 00:16:23.759 --> 00:16:25.200 and there's there's been a couple of guys over the 364 00:16:25.240 --> 00:16:28.200 years in the NBA who have been that guy who 365 00:16:28.240 --> 00:16:30.240 really did try to take guys under the wings. And 366 00:16:30.240 --> 00:16:32.039 they'll give you a couple opportunities to get it together, 367 00:16:32.080 --> 00:16:34.120 but eventually they you know, they're like, look, at some point, 368 00:16:34.120 --> 00:16:35.159 you've got to help yourself too. 369 00:16:35.320 --> 00:16:39.080 I get it. But help that young man or that 370 00:16:39.159 --> 00:16:39.679 woman out. 371 00:16:39.720 --> 00:16:43.440 Don't just kind of take their their athletic ability, squeeze 372 00:16:43.480 --> 00:16:45.039 all the juice out of it and just kick them 373 00:16:45.080 --> 00:16:47.360 to the curve and just leave them on their own devices. 374 00:16:47.559 --> 00:16:48.360 Let's not do that. 375 00:16:48.440 --> 00:16:50.320 Yeah, we need to be a support system, not just 376 00:16:50.360 --> 00:16:52.600 an enabler.
