Transcript

00:00Well, Justin Tucker, one of the NFL's biggest superstars.

00:05A guy who is-

00:06I got to stop.

00:07You cannot be a kicker and be a superstar, Joe.

00:09Come on.

00:10Well, I think that's a credit to how great of a kicker Justin Tucker is.

00:13He's an excellent kicker.

00:14Because you don't normally hear of kickers being called superstars, but Justin Tucker

00:17is that good.

00:18Everyone says he's a lock for the Hall of Fame.

00:20However, some allegations, some ugly allegations have now surfaced in Baltimore.

00:25A report there saying that there are multiple masseuses around the Baltimore area that

00:32are claiming that he's guilty of sexual misconduct at several massage parlors.

00:37Yeah, Charles, so it's six masseuses from four different massage parlors around the

00:43city.

00:44And what they are alleging is, it sounds very similar to things that we heard about Deshaun

00:48Watson a few years ago.

00:51So what is his reaction?

00:53What is his response to this, Babcock?

00:56So he's come out pretty forcefully, Charles, and said that he- and maybe you parsed his

01:00words a little bit.

01:01So he said, I would never intentionally do anything that would upset or harm anybody.

01:06Maybe that's a bit different than saying I didn't actually do anything, although he does

01:10seem to claim that he is innocent of the things that he is now being accused of in the media

01:15and that he did nothing wrong and he vowed to fight any of these allegations that anyone

01:21makes against him.

01:22But he says, look, I just didn't do it.

01:23It's just not true.

01:24I don't know.

01:25Here's the question.

01:26Something about the way he worded it that makes you think, is there anything?

01:30I totally agree.

01:31Also, I read that he got banned from two massage parlors.

01:35I mean, if you're getting banned from a massage parlor, you're doing something wrong.

01:39Well, that's exactly what the women who work there are saying, that he went too far.

01:46And none of the people who made these allegations, have they filed police reports, Mike?

01:51They have not.

01:52No.

01:53So now, and I know a lot of people have now questioned, will any of his accusers, they've

01:58spoken to media outlets, but will they go forward and will we see lawsuits or will we

02:03see police reports?

02:04And as we sit here and talk right now, that just has not happened at this point.

02:08Whereas with Deshaun Watson, obviously there was a bunch of legal action that was taken.

02:12The NFL then ultimately suspends him.

02:14So I think until that stuff happens, I don't think anything is going to come of this for

02:17Justin Tucker.

02:18He's going to continue to play football unless somebody does take that next step.

02:22Yeah.

02:23And then the other thing, as you say, that is on the line here, this is a guy who everyone

02:27says first ballot Hall of Famer.

02:31And you wonder how this all turns out, if that has any impact.

02:35You know what?

02:36Also, that's a good point, Charles.

02:37He had converted on over 89% of his kicks throughout his career.

02:41That's the highest percentage that we've ever seen amongst a kicker before.

02:45This year, he only made 73% of his kicks.

02:48And there is a theory, there's a thought out there that he knew this was coming and this

02:51is something that was hanging over him throughout the season and it actually had an effect on

02:56his performance on the field.

02:57Well, and it's also not just whether they have a police report, because I think the

03:01NFL does their separate investigations and could ban him from the NFL regardless.

03:04I'm sure they're going to be running one of those right now.

03:07Hi, my name is Brandon, I'm from South Carolina.

03:10I definitely think that it is not right for Tucker to be acting the way that he did with

03:14the masseuses.

03:15But on the other hand, with him denying these allegations, we never really know what is

03:20going to be true.

03:21I'm interested to see if these masseuses will come out with their own story and say these

03:26allegations that are against him.

03:28I'm just really interested to see how the story plays out for him.

03:31I think it is very important to say that no lawsuit has been filed, there is no criminal

03:36investigation that we've heard of at this point.

03:39So this is an allegation that the masseuses made to the Baltimore newspaper and he is

03:45denying it.

03:46But I will also add that I'm an innocent till proven guilty guy, but the more people that

03:52come out, and you know, six people, that's...

03:54Now you're talking about the court of public opinion.

03:56Yeah.
