00:00 In New England right now, one of the newspapers
00:05 has taken a survey of sorts and discovered
00:08 that 80% of the locker room is no longer behind--
00:12 - Mac Jones. - Mac Jones.
00:13 They're against Mac Jones.
00:14 That he does not have the locker room support
00:16 in an overwhelming way.
00:17 That it's guys on both sides of the ball.
00:19 Well, of course, that's a reporter's job, so that's fine.
00:23 Andrew Callahan, I think.
00:25 That's our job.
00:25 Sometimes it's our job to be a fly
00:28 in the ointment, unfortunately.
00:29 - Mm-hmm.
00:31 - Nobody should have ever answered that question.
00:34 No player should answer that question.
00:35 - Yeah, that's a good point.
00:36 - You want dissent in your locker room?
00:39 You want issues in your locker room?
00:40 You wanna reveal that you have a bad locker room?
00:42 - Yeah. - Answer that question.
00:43 And again, he had two sources.
00:45 So somebody told somebody.
00:46 He didn't go survey 50 people.
00:48 It's not just an indictment of Mac Jones
00:52 that the locker room is no longer behind him.
00:54 It's an indictment of the locker room.
00:56 - Yeah, the players that answered.
00:58 - Those 50 guys, when they're asked that question,
01:00 are supposed to say, "Bleep you, I'm not talking to you."
01:03 - Yeah, that's my teammate.
01:05 - It's also an indictment of Bill Belichick's leadership.
01:07 Once upon a time, there was do your job.
01:09 Now, in the player's defense, maybe they're going,
01:13 "I mean, Bill's not doing his job.
01:15 "Why do I have to do mine?"
01:16 So you're right about the Cowboys locker room.
01:18 It's a positive vibe place,
01:20 and it's a very delicate chemistry.
01:23 And this sort of stuff, including, by the way,
01:27 the sort of stuff that comes from Micah Parsons,
01:29 who we'll visit with over the course of this week
01:32 and try to get some more insight to.
01:33 Micah Parsons goes on social media
01:35 and complains about his role.
01:38 "Free me," he writes, following up on Sam Williams.
01:40 I'm gonna say this one more time about Sam Williams.
01:43 Micah, do not take your behavioral clues from Sam Williams.
01:48 That Sam Williams is not your big brother role model
01:51 in how to behave on social media.
01:54 Sometimes, maybe it's just better to let the cake bake.
01:58 When you have a complaint with your boss,
02:01 maybe you should just call your mom
02:03 and air it out there
02:04 instead of airing it out on social media.
