00:00is you said that you got some press and it was good reporting that Christian Gonzalez had not
00:06had a setback in his soft tissue injury. Right. Okay. And so that's interesting because he had
00:14missed so much time and there was a belief that obviously something must have happened to delay
00:20the process of coming back. Okay. So he said there's reports from people who haven't played
00:26the game, which we all thought was interesting because how could anyone that doesn't play
00:30football have any experience with physical pain or, or any kind of injury? I mean, all
00:36we do is, you know, lay prone, but, but was he referring to you when he said that? I actually
00:43didn't hear it. Oh, okay. But I mean, if he was, that's fine. Like I don't, well, it's just
00:49a lame. It doesn't bother me though. No, no. All I, all I reported, I reported that there
00:55was not a setback and that he was injured at the end of July and it's gone slower than
01:01they thought it would. And they thought he'd be ready for week one and he wasn't. And there's
01:07obviously some timeline things here that you can look at that are obvious. That's say, not
01:13only has it gone slower than you thought it would in July. I mean, he's missed three games
01:19now. So if he were to miss one more game, which I think he'll probably play on Sunday, but if
01:24he were to miss one more game, then you would have just put them on injured reserve because
01:30that's four games out, you saved the roster spot and that's not a decision you're making
01:35in July. That's a decision you're making in September. So it's not just behind schedule
01:39for July. Now you're behind schedule for September as well. So that was all I said.
01:45And then, um, I think I would never like, I, I would never question a football player's
01:53toughness, um, a professional football player's toughness. Um, all I said was that he was behind
01:59schedule and I think it got conflated into being other things, which like, again, like
02:05I said, I said, I don't think there's ill will between he and the team. Do I, is there
02:11frustration? Yes. Everyone's frustrated, but it got like turned into like, like he doesn't
02:18want to play. And that was the other part of it was all I did when I explained like the
02:24contract thing was, this is a natural part of the NFL that these guys have to protect
02:29themselves. And somehow someone turned that into, he doesn't want to play, which I, I never
02:34said or never would say.
