00:00Daniko Autry, that is the big news around the NFL, has been suspended six games for

00:06PEDs.

00:07I'm not going to go through all the words they use, but basically that is, and is explaining

00:13it rather thoroughly, mentioning attorneys, mentioning that the, that he had, you know,

00:19obviously, and we've heard this before, but nevertheless worth mentioning, he had no idea

00:24he was, apparently it was some medication that he wasn't aware had something on the

00:28band list and said that he's never taken it, never would, but he did, unknowingly,

00:36and so now he's going to fight it, but we've also seen on the text board and on YouTube

00:40and Twitch, people saying, well, he'll appeal it, and it'll probably be reduced to like

00:45four.

00:46No, there is no appeal.

00:47No, he's said that.

00:48He's accepted it.

00:49What I took was illegal.

00:50I just didn't know that what I was, I just didn't know that I was taking it.

00:53Yeah.

00:54So he's fessed up to it.

00:55He's owned up to it.

00:56There's going to be some legal action taken, but I think it's mostly going to be probably

01:00against the pharmacy that gave it to him because he says that he, that the pharmacy either

01:04recklessly or the doctor or whatever, they, they, they kind of screwed up there.

01:09So you're going to try to get some of that money back is $1.6 million plus bonuses.

01:14He's going to get it.

01:15If you can't now, we've also had people ask, well, what does this mean with the Texans

01:18in terms of JJ Watt?

01:19Because remember JJ Watt said, well, like, you know, if there were like an emergency

01:23or something that would arise, well then, Hey, you know, my phone's on, you have my

01:27number.

01:28Now this would seem to be one of those situations.

01:31However, the Texans have known about this.

01:34This is not something that the Texans just found out.

01:36Like, like we just found out about it an hour and a half ago, the Texans knew about it well

01:41ahead of time.

01:42I'm glad you said that because that kind of makes sense with the Jerry Hughes signing.

01:46Yeah.

01:47Because I didn't understand that at all.

01:48And I'm just thinking, okay, bringing the older guy back.

01:52I think that, I think they knew about it then.

01:54And when you list, when you hear this, uh, or read this word in what he said, he mentioned

01:59off season.

02:00They found out in the off season.

02:01Yeah.

02:02He was tested and got the results in the middle of the off season.

02:04Not like yesterday.

02:06When this stuff happens, you are given a heads up that this test came back.

02:10So you don't just take the test.

02:12It comes back positive and then boom, you're suspended.

02:15No, there's some legal hoops that you have to go through for the suspension to actually

02:19come down.

02:20So that's why the team was, the team was aware of it.

02:23That's why I think they probably signed Jerry Hughes.

02:26Again, we will, we will know more about this tomorrow because again, this report came out

02:31after D'Amico Ryan's talk to the media after practice today.

02:34So the Texans have not actually addressed it, but I imagine it will come up with D'Amico

02:39Ryan's tomorrow.

02:40And I'm guessing that's what the expectation is.

02:41And rest assured, no matter what you feel about JJ Watt and coming back and coming back

02:45later in the year or not coming back, that will be addressed as well.

02:49Because you know, the simple facts are JJ Watt said, Hey, my phone's on.

02:53D'Amico said, Hey, anything happens, maybe we'll call you.

02:57So yeah, that'll be addressed as well.

02:58Yes.

02:59So stay tuned for that.
