00:00:01Three seconds left on the clock.
00:00:05Boo!
00:00:22Touchdown, Tucker Newsome.
00:00:28Damn it!
00:00:30This is your fault! Your jeeks!
00:00:33Walking curse, I should've known when your mother left.
00:00:36Bad luck's in your bones!
00:00:39What do you mean, my fault?
00:00:44That did you pass the game?
00:00:46That touchdown just cost me my last hundred K!
00:00:50Your last hundred K?
00:00:53That was my life savings for my future, for-
00:00:56What?!
00:00:58I was saving up so I could do my internship with the Sentinels.
00:01:01It's my first day today.
00:01:07The Sentinels?
00:01:08Do they know who you're the daughter of?
00:01:11Leon the Hitman Rivers?
00:01:17The linebacker paralyzed their EMVP with a dirty hit.
00:01:22And who was banned for life.
00:01:25I'm using a different last name.
00:01:27You think a fake last name's gonna fool you anymore?
00:01:39You're my reverse.
00:01:41You're my flesh and blood.
00:01:45Pizza's cold.
00:01:46I'm gonna-
00:01:51No.
00:01:53I am nothing like you.
00:01:55And I never will be.
00:01:57It's not like anyone's gonna miss you.
00:01:59You're a worthless loser.
00:02:01I didn't think I would.
00:02:03Get the hell out of my house!
00:02:05Don't bother from the back, you grateful little bitch!
00:02:14If the Sentinels ever find out who I really am,
00:02:17I'll be blacklisted forever.
00:02:20I have to hide my identity.
00:02:22At any cost.
00:02:23To the haters!
00:02:29To the haters!
00:02:36You'll lose some!
00:02:40You suck!
00:02:49Oh!
00:02:53You suck!
00:02:58He's a mess.
00:03:00But messes make headlines.
00:03:02And headlines fill stadiums.
00:03:06We bring him in.
00:03:07Rehab his image.
00:03:09Make him look good.
00:03:11Make me look good.
00:03:13This isn't the first time that he's gotten into trouble like this.
00:03:18He's got anger management issues.
00:03:21And heat.
00:03:22The right story turns him from chaos into a comeback.
00:03:27More like a liability.
00:03:29Well that's what the morality clause is for.
00:03:32And the accountability partner.
00:03:33Damn.
00:03:34You tackle harder than half the league.
00:03:39Tucker, you sir?
00:03:41Let me guess.
00:03:42You're a fan.
00:03:43She do trend every week.
00:03:44But not for football.
00:03:45Bar fights.
00:03:46Suspensions.
00:03:47An Instagram feed that reads like a 5-0.
00:03:50Sponsor seeds.
00:03:51Radio ads.
00:03:52So I'm guessing that's a hard no on the autograph.
00:03:53But if we pivot now.
00:03:54Lean into redemption.
00:03:55Vulnerability.
00:03:56Carefully curing a comeback.
00:03:57You're not just back in the league.
00:03:58You're bigger than Travis Kelsey.
00:03:59Samir Ri...
00:04:00Richards.
00:04:01Um.
00:04:02PR.
00:04:03Intern.
00:04:04Well shit.
00:04:05Most people just ask for a selfie.
00:04:06I'm not just back in the league.
00:04:07You're not just back in the league.
00:04:08You're bigger than Travis Kelsey.
00:04:09Uh.
00:04:10Up to the team.
00:04:12Intern.
00:04:13Uh.
00:04:14Do you know what?
00:04:18What a good job.
00:04:19Uh.
00:04:20You're not just back in the league.
00:04:21You're not just back in the league.
00:04:26You're bigger than Travis Kelsey.
00:04:28Well, shit.
00:04:32Most people just ask for a selfie.
00:04:34Welcome to the team...intern.
00:04:54Did she just call me...radio actor?
00:05:04Well, well.
00:05:09You must be the charity hire.
00:05:11I'm scared.
00:05:12I know who you are.
00:05:16I told HR I needed a superstar, not a sentient STD with a LinkedIn profile.
00:05:29Mop it up.
00:05:34Better yet, lick it off the floor like the worthless gutter trash that you have.
00:05:44Also, those shoes...trach it.
00:05:52Hi, Tom.
00:05:53No, no, no.
00:05:54Wait!
00:05:55We are you.
00:05:56Good to have Tucker here.
00:05:57With the right support system, we believe he can help us win a championship, which is why we've selected an accountability partner for him to keep him focused on football.
00:06:08Me.
00:06:09Sorry, I'm late.
00:06:18Uh, please don't mind her.
00:06:19She's barely house trained, but we're working on it.
00:06:34Sorry, I'm late.
00:06:36Uh, please don't mind her.
00:06:39She's barely house trained, but we're working on it.
00:06:46So, as I was saying before I was so rudely interrupted.
00:06:51I want her.
00:06:55You mean the intern?
00:06:57Uh, excuse me?
00:07:03What do you say, partner?
00:07:14Hey, intern. Slow down.
00:07:18You can't just point at someone and make them your babysitter.
00:07:23I've always had a thing for my babysitters.
00:07:25Why me?
00:07:28I don't know.
00:07:29There was just something about you when we met before.
00:07:33So you thought I looked pathetic and felt sorry for me?
00:07:37Great.
00:07:38Nope.
00:07:39I thought you looked like someone who doesn't put up with bullshit.
00:07:42And I come with a lot of it.
00:07:45So what exactly did you expect me to do?
00:07:48Keep me out of the headlights.
00:07:49Unless the good ones.
00:07:51Let me stop you right there.
00:07:52I'm not your nanny, or your emotional support human, or your PR fairy godmother.
00:07:58I am a strategist.
00:08:00That means you don't speak, drink, post, or flirt sideways without my approval.
00:08:06Got it?
00:08:06You scared me a little.
00:08:15I kind of like it.
00:08:19I'm good.
00:08:19My job isn't to follow you around with duct tape and a fire extinguisher.
00:08:26That actually sounds pretty fun.
00:08:29I am serious.
00:08:31So am I.
00:08:32We want the same thing.
00:08:34You keep me clean, you look like a PR genius.
00:08:37Win-win.
00:08:40And if you don't?
00:08:42We both go down.
00:08:43You don't get to erase me.
00:09:11We're not finished, Samira.
00:09:14Not even close.
00:09:21Oh, look who's acting like she owns the place.
00:09:26You think you're special because he picked you?
00:09:30You're a temp with a clipboard.
00:09:35Off this clutter and, oh my god, clearance heels?
00:09:38You do not belong here.
00:09:40I didn't ask for this.
00:09:42Oh, hon.
00:09:43I see what you're up to.
00:09:46But let me tell you who Tucker picks.
00:09:52Bombshells and boss bitches.
00:09:54And you are neither.
00:09:57Well, maybe he's tired of that tape.
00:09:59Trust me.
00:10:01He's not.
00:10:01But you are just the latest rehab prop in his redemption arc.
00:10:06And you'll be gone the minute his jersey sales spike like a bad case of herpes.
00:10:11Oh, my god.
00:10:12So enjoy your little Cinderella moment.
00:10:17Because when midnight strikes, I'll be the one still holding his balls.
00:10:24And you, you'll still be in your dollar store blazer dumpster diving for day-old Taco Bell.
00:10:31You finished?
00:10:32Oh, I am just getting started.
00:10:36Hey, intern.
00:10:36I almost forgot.
00:10:42Tucky Poo.
00:10:43Hi.
00:10:44We were just giving Samira a warm welcome.
00:10:50There's an owner's dinner tonight.
00:10:54Thought you could keep me accountable.
00:11:01They could wear this.
00:11:04I'm not an escort.
00:11:06I know.
00:11:07More like a chaperone.
00:11:09And I need to be at my best behavior.
00:11:11She doesn't even own evening wear.
00:11:13You'll embarrass yourself.
00:11:15Not in that she won't.
00:11:33You're going to stay in there all night?
00:11:36Well, damn, intern.
00:11:57Remind me to pick out all your outfits from home.
00:12:04Remind yourself to check the price tag next time.
00:12:07This costs more than my student wants.
00:12:10And let's get one face straight.
00:12:12Tonight isn't about us.
00:12:14You're here to charm, smile, and not end up on page six.
00:12:19If you're going to stare at me like that, I might start to think you like me.
00:12:30This is strictly...
00:12:33a business.
00:12:38Fox.
00:12:38We're going to be late.
00:12:55Dr. Newsom.
00:13:09He's a locker room liability.
00:13:11He's not here to win games.
00:13:12He's here to keep TMZ in business.
00:13:14It's their job to stir the pot.
00:13:24But still, it's brutal.
00:13:28You do this long enough,
00:13:30and you start to believe the version of yourself of this, Ellen.
00:13:33Bad boy.
00:13:36Locker room cancer.
00:13:38Walking headline.
00:13:40Figured, screw it.
00:13:41Might as well just live up to the rep.
00:13:45And now?
00:13:46I don't know who the hell I'm trying to be,
00:13:49but I do know that if I mess up,
00:13:52it's over.
00:13:54Not just this contract.
00:13:58My career.
00:13:59You're not the only one trying to outrun a part of yourself.
00:14:17Is that your new girlfriend, Tucker?
00:14:20Well, that's going to take a while.
00:14:24That's his intern, PR Rehab.
00:14:27She won't last long.
00:14:29Good heavens, Mike, down!
00:14:39That's the commissioner's wife!
00:14:43That's why charity cases like her
00:14:45stayed behind the rope.
00:14:59Care to explain why the commissioner is demanding an apology
00:15:10and a new dress for his wife?
00:15:12She's clearly overwhelmed.
00:15:15She doesn't belong in these settings.
00:15:16I tried to tell you.
00:15:18Well, this is your idea, Melissa.
00:15:20Fix it, or I'll pull your contract.
00:15:22I'll resign.
00:15:25She's not going anywhere.
00:15:30You said I need to handle her.
00:15:32I chose her.
00:15:34She goes,
00:15:36I go.
00:15:36You're seriously going to jeopardize your comeback.
00:15:42For an intern.
00:15:45What can I say?
00:15:46I thrive on chaos.
00:15:55Hey, wait up!
00:15:56Michael!
00:16:00Sorry.
00:16:03We have to substitute him.
00:16:16Rivers.
00:16:17Tucker can't know who I really am.
00:16:32Do they know who you're the daughter of?
00:16:35Leon, the hitman, Rivers?
00:16:38The linebacker paralyzed their leading MVP with dirty hit.
00:16:45If he finds out,
00:16:47I lose this job, my future, everything.
00:16:50And I am back to waiting tables.
00:16:54Richards is my mom's maiden name.
00:16:56I use it sometimes.
00:16:57I guess it makes me feel closer to her.
00:17:02Sure.
00:17:05Makes sense.
00:17:06As long as you're not
00:17:08secretly in witness protection or something.
00:17:13Can I
00:17:13walk you to your car?
00:17:16I, uh,
00:17:17forgot something.
00:17:18You go ahead.
00:17:19I'll see you tomorrow.
00:17:20Mm-hmm.
00:17:21Okay.
00:17:36Hello?
00:17:44Hello?
00:17:52Oh.
00:18:00Oh.
00:18:02Sorry.
00:18:03I didn't see anything.
00:18:10Okay, you can cry or you can suck it up and pretend you still have a career and your dignity.
00:18:18Practically sell my credit score.
00:18:23Uh, how long?
00:18:26It's just, uh, I got kicked out of my house.
00:18:33Yeah.
00:18:37Pack your things.
00:18:39What?
00:18:40You're moving in. With me.
00:18:43Tucker, no, that's not- 24-7 means 24-7.
00:18:47You can't do your job if you're showering in a supply closet.
00:18:52It's more like a haunted boiler room.
00:18:56I appreciate it, but I don't need your pity.
00:18:59It's not pity. It's just practical.
00:19:03You can't keep me accountable if you're squatting in a tea locker room.
00:19:18Wow.
00:19:19It's me.
00:19:21Your room is down the hall. First door on the left.
00:19:24Make yourself home, but don't touch anything in the fridge labeled to you.
00:19:29That means it's mine.
00:19:31Thanks. I can spell.
00:19:34Then we're going to get along great.
00:19:35All right.
00:19:52Oh Jesus. Sorry, I didn't know anyone was...
00:20:07It's my house. You're the one sneaking around like him.
00:20:12I wasn't sneaking. I was... hydrating.
00:20:22You could really use some better snacks.
00:20:27Take the candles.
00:20:30I wasn't staring, by the way.
00:20:33I never said you were.
00:20:35Good. Because I wasn't.
00:20:45Still no staring?
00:20:48Uh, you're leaking. Sweat, you're, uh, it's distracting.
00:20:57I'll try to be less distracting.
00:21:04Look, if we're gonna live together, we should probably set some ground rules.
00:21:10Was I a bad boy?
00:21:13Rule one. Shirts.
00:21:19I feel targeted.
00:21:21Rule two. No flirting.
00:21:25Okay. So, shirts are mandatory. No flirting. Anything else?
00:21:33I need this job.
00:21:36I don't have a backup plan or a trust fund or a safety net.
00:21:40So, this thing, whatever it is, if it starts getting in the way of the work, I walk.
00:21:50Okay.
00:21:52I mean it, Tucker.
00:21:55Tucker.
00:21:56I believe you.
00:22:15I'm gonna go to bed now.
00:22:17Good night.
00:22:18Well, if it isn't PowerPoint Barbie.
00:22:39How is our resident accountability partner, or wait, is it, um, handler with benefits?
00:22:45Oh, I mean, don't feel bad.
00:22:53We all play our part.
00:22:55Some guys cheer from the sidelines.
00:22:58Others just, um, on the bench.
00:23:04Just doing my part to disinfect the desperation.
00:23:10Skank.
00:23:11You good?
00:23:33You so much is breathe running her direction again.
00:23:39The only person you're gonna be doing PR for on this team is the mascot.
00:23:44You can't possibly be taking her side.
00:23:46You know, she's just using you to get rich and famous.
00:23:48Save it, Jules.
00:23:49The only person here who's cloud chasing is you.
00:23:56This isn't over.
00:24:01What are you waiting for?
00:24:02Go!
00:24:03Go!
00:24:04Walk!
00:24:15Let's get you changed out of that shirt.
00:24:32What are you doing?
00:24:33What are you doing?
00:24:34Giving you something dry to wear.
00:24:35What are you doing?
00:24:36Giving you something dry to wear.
00:24:37You know?
00:24:38Oh.
00:24:39Flip your hair too.
00:24:40We hate when you've moved.
00:24:41Just plug your red out and inside.
00:24:42Oh, it works.
00:24:43Yikes!
00:24:44He tried to clean in the crowd.
00:24:52nosso pedir.
00:24:53Jesus.
00:24:54You can hold her고요.
00:24:55Open your head.
00:24:56Clip your hands on the house.
00:24:57You can find a big noise.
00:24:58Most of the doors for women.
00:24:59Mr. Mittem.
00:25:00Clip your hands on the Physician side.
00:25:01Corning your hands on the stove.
00:25:02It's倒ous and steepest.
00:25:03I can fight my own battles.
00:25:26I know.
00:25:27But sometimes it's nice to know you don't have to.
00:25:31Well.
00:25:33Thanks.
00:25:38You, uh, you wear that dangerously well.
00:25:44Careful.
00:25:47You're getting awfully close to flirty.
00:25:51I thought that was against the rules.
00:25:54It is.
00:25:55Keep the room in five.
00:26:10Cold tub's on deck.
00:26:10I guess that's our cue.
00:26:15Yeah.
00:26:18Guess so.
00:26:33Pack your bags.
00:26:34Excuse me?
00:26:37We've got a game in Vegas.
00:26:38Sunday.
00:26:39Team plan leads in an hour.
00:26:41I need you with me.
00:26:43Vegas?
00:26:44To the city.
00:26:45Neon.
00:26:46Nightclubs.
00:26:47A variable tattoos.
00:26:48If there ever was a time I needed an accountability partner, it's there.
00:26:52I can handle the bright lights.
00:26:55I can handle the pressure.
00:26:57But if anyone finds out who I really am, I'm finished.
00:27:01Could I get the key to my room?
00:27:13Forgot to tell you.
00:27:14Hotels over boats.
00:27:16Just one room.
00:27:17I'll take the king.
00:27:27You can take the couch.
00:27:29Generous.
00:27:32I'm nothing if not chivalrous.
00:27:34Okay.
00:27:35I have had apartments smaller than this room.
00:27:39Some of the guys are hitting the strip.
00:27:41A couple of drinks.
00:27:42Blackjack.
00:27:43Just team bonding.
00:27:45Team bonding.
00:27:47Is that what we're calling it now?
00:27:52You are not going anywhere.
00:27:59Oh, really?
00:28:01You're locking me in now?
00:28:03If that's what it takes.
00:28:09Go put on swaths.
00:28:10I'm ordering room service.
00:28:12You are getting hot tea and a 9 p.m. bedtime.
00:28:14And what if I misbehave?
00:28:18Then I'll have to punish you.
00:28:20And not in the wrong way.
00:28:21Talk but now.
00:28:38Pay back.
00:28:39If you do...
00:28:39... if you do...
00:28:40... you do...
00:28:41... you do...
00:28:43Oh.
00:29:01What is it?
00:29:03Just the guys checking in.
00:29:05You should probably get some sleep.
00:29:10The Glitter Pit?
00:29:14You win the game tomorrow.
00:29:15You are not going to a strip club.
00:29:16And what are you going to do?
00:29:18Stay up all night keeping watch on me?
00:29:21I will if I have to.
00:29:23Suit yourself.
00:29:29Oh.
00:29:30Just so you know.
00:29:36This is how I sleep.
00:29:37Just get used to it.
00:29:44Great.
00:29:46Now I have to sleep in the same room as his abs.
00:29:48I could get used to waking up like this.
00:29:50But he doesn't know the truth about me.
00:29:52Or the last name I'm hiding.
00:29:53Which is exactly what I'm going to do.
00:29:54I can get used to waking up like this.
00:29:55But he doesn't know the truth about me.
00:29:56Or the last name I'm hiding.
00:29:57Which is exactly why I can't.
00:29:58I can get used to waking up like this.
00:29:59But he doesn't know the truth about me.
00:30:00Or the last name I'm hiding.
00:30:01Which is exactly why I can't.
00:30:02So.
00:30:03I can get used to waking up like this.
00:30:04I can get used to waking up like this.
00:30:05But he doesn't know the truth about me.
00:30:06Or the last name I'm hiding.
00:30:08Which is exactly why I can't.
00:30:10So.
00:30:11So.
00:30:12That was a fun single.
00:30:14We slept.
00:30:15That's it.
00:30:16I can't have it again.
00:30:17I can't have it again.
00:30:18I can't have it again.
00:30:19I can't get used to waking up like this.
00:30:20But he doesn't know the truth about me.
00:30:22I can't get used to waking up like this.
00:30:24And he doesn't know the truth about me.
00:30:25Or the last name I'm hiding.
00:30:26Which is exactly why I can't.
00:30:30So.
00:30:33That was a fun single.
00:30:34We slept.
00:30:35That's it.
00:30:36Can't happen again.
00:30:37There's a breakfast buffet, I heard the protein pancakes are pretty sick.
00:30:59You'd eat drywall if it had enough protein in it.
00:31:02Drywall actually has a surprisingly good amino acid profile.
00:31:06Samira, didn't expect to see you in Vegas.
00:31:15Eli, what are you doing here?
00:31:17Who are you?
00:31:19I'm her ex.
00:31:24Oh no, if Eli reveals who my dad is, that's it. Game over.
00:31:33Eli, I didn't know you were covering this game.
00:31:37Yeah, I got bumped up from the podcast to on camera this week.
00:31:40I guess I finally impressed someone.
00:31:42What are you doing here?
00:31:44I've been training for the Sentinels.
00:31:47Working with Tucker.
00:31:49What? You got a problem with that?
00:31:54No, not at all. I'm just surprised to see you trading your career ambitions for babysitting.
00:32:01Wow. And they let you be on camera with that personality.
00:32:04Coming from a guy whose entire personality is Catcher's balls.
00:32:08Okay boys, I think that is enough testosterone for one buffet.
00:32:15We should get something.
00:32:20You know, honestly, I'm surprised they even mentioned Bowman's your last name.
00:32:39Your ex, always like that?
00:32:41Yeah, he's a huge asshole.
00:32:46And what did he mean?
00:32:47What about your last name?
00:32:55Team Bus, departs in 15!
00:33:00We've got a game in a few hours.
00:33:02You need to stay focused.
00:33:03No distractions.
00:33:05There you go again.
00:33:06Always trying to control the story.
00:33:08That is literally my job.
00:33:21Club's already hopping.
00:33:28Going out?
00:33:33Some of the guys are grabbing drinks to celebrate the win.
00:33:36Nothing crazy.
00:33:42You left your own devices in Sin City?
00:33:45I don't think so.
00:33:47I'm coming.
00:33:49You want to keep an eye on me?
00:33:51Or you just don't want to miss out on some fun?
00:33:55Sorry.
00:33:59I'm not here to have fun.
00:34:00We'll see about that.
00:34:01Intern.
00:34:03We'll see about that.
00:34:04Intern.
00:34:05Intern.
00:34:23Tried not to get recognized every five feet?
00:34:27No promises.
00:34:29Fame is a burden I carry.
00:34:31Bravely.
00:34:33Do you dance or would that be too much fun?
00:34:35Depends.
00:34:37Are you going to try something stupid?
00:34:39Almost definitely.
00:34:41Are you going to try something stupid?
00:34:44No.
00:34:45No.

00:41:13Oh my god!
00:41:25Jesus!
00:41:27Why did it just turn into a cold plunge?
00:41:29This fancy mansion has a broken water heater.
00:41:33That looks good.
00:41:43It's Gus Marwood, the owner of the team.
00:41:57Why are you whispering?
00:42:01Gus!
00:42:03What a pleasant surprise.
00:42:05Tucker!
00:42:06Listen, hey, I know it's last minute, but I called in a favor and I got you.
00:42:10You booked on the number one football podcast.
00:42:13It'll be great for you to reintroduce yourself to your fans.
00:42:16The new and improved Tucker Newsome.
00:42:19A podcast?
00:42:23Yeah.
00:42:24Sure, let's do it.
00:42:26Great.
00:42:27Look, it's also streaming live on YouTube.
00:42:292PM Soundworks downtown. Make me proud.
00:42:32Don't let me down.
00:42:40Mr. Newsome!
00:42:49They're ready for you in Studio B. Please follow me.
00:42:55Just stick to the talking points.
00:42:57I'll give the internet a reason to cancel you.
00:42:59It's gonna be 45 minutes of softballs.
00:43:01I got this.
00:43:03I'm her ex.
00:43:16And here he is.
00:43:17Right on time.
00:43:33All right, folks.
00:43:34We're live here.
00:43:35Tucker Newsome.
00:43:36Two-time Pro Bowler and brand new Seattle Sentinel.
00:43:39Thanks for joining us.
00:43:43Wouldn't miss it, man.
00:43:44Big fan of the pod.
00:43:49Let's get right into it.
00:43:50You've had an interest in a couple of years.
00:43:53How would you describe this chapter of your career?
00:43:55Focused.
00:43:56Humble.
00:43:57Ugly.
00:43:58Hm.
00:43:59That's new.
00:44:02A lot of fans are surprised that the Sentinels are taking a chance on you.
00:44:05Some even saying it's a PR stunt.
00:44:07What do you think about that?
00:44:08It's fair?
00:44:09People can say what they want.
00:44:11I'm here to win games.
00:44:14The winning's never been your problem, has it?
00:44:19It's everything that happens off the field.
00:44:22Let's talk about the suspensions.
00:44:24A lot of fights and fights.
00:44:28I mean, one of the most talented tight ends in the league.
00:44:31Also the most volatile.
00:44:33People like to call you the league's favorite cautionary town.
00:44:37I've made mistakes.
00:44:39I've owned them.
00:44:40And I'm doing the work to be better.
00:44:44The last week at the Vegas nightclub.
00:44:49Is that part of the work?
00:44:55Was that another example of your temper getting better?
00:44:59Then I was here to talk about football.
00:45:08Can we take five?
00:45:09Five?
00:45:24Tucker, stop!
00:45:26Tucker, wait!
00:45:28Stop!
00:45:29This is a trap!
00:45:31He's not interviewing me. He's trying to humiliate me.
00:45:34I know.
00:45:35But that is exactly why you cannot lose it in there.
00:45:37You heard what you said.
00:45:38I did.
00:45:40But if you're fired back, she wins.
00:45:44If you keep your cool,
00:45:46you walk out of here the guy people root for again.
00:45:49Give me your phone.
00:45:51Trust me.
00:46:0050 cents.
00:46:02I'll sit behind the glass and I'll talk to you through it.
00:46:07You don't have to go through this alone.
00:46:11Let me help.
00:46:12All right.
00:46:13We are back.
00:46:14Tucker, who's...
00:46:15Where were we?
00:46:16Please.
00:46:18Shoulders down.
00:46:20First question.
00:46:21Deflect.
00:46:22Then redirect.
00:46:23You asked about Vegas.
00:46:24Yes.
00:46:25There was an incident.
00:46:26And I would do the exact same thing again if someone laid a hand on a woman in front of me.
00:46:29So, no regrets.
00:46:30No people.
00:46:31Gratitude.
00:46:32This is your growth arc.
00:46:33Give them the headline you want.
00:46:34I've made mistakes.
00:46:57mistakes, but I'm learning. I have people in my life now who push me to be better, not
00:47:03just as a player, but as a man.
00:47:09He's rattled. Yes!
00:47:12You can keep judging. I'm just gonna keep moving forward.
00:47:27You were incredible in there. You were incredible. We made a pretty good team, didn't we?
00:47:37I could get used to that. What? You. Tell me what to do.
00:47:57All my life I was looking for a sign. Wasn't sure where to find a peace of mind.
00:48:16Oh. Star? Diane's sleeping with the intern? Now that's a scandal.
00:48:22Pepper, don't! I should knock your teeth out!
00:48:25Try me, Isam. You lay a hand on me. And this isn't just a Franklage story. This is a lawsuit, too.
00:48:33If you want a story, I'll give you one.
00:48:36Okay, I'm listening.
00:48:39Get the hell out of my house! And don't bother coming back, you ungrateful little bitch!
00:48:46Land Rippers. Disgrace NFA Championship MVP. Banned for life for nearly killing a player on the field.
00:48:53Well, I know where he's been hiding. And he is in a new kind of trouble. Indeed, with the betting syndicate.
00:49:00Big names, big debt.
00:49:02That's quite the scoop.
00:49:07Delete the photos, and you have yourself an exclusive.
00:49:10Deal. No pictures here.
00:49:20Oh, no.
00:49:22What the hell was that?
00:49:24That was me saving my career.
00:49:25Who here?
00:49:26No, that was you knowing way too much about Leon Rivers. How?
00:49:34I wrote my senior thesis on him.
00:49:36PR major, crisis comms.
00:49:39This case is textbook, fame, violence, media spin, total brain meltdown.
00:49:43Right now, every ugly detail.
00:49:48Well, you saved my ass.
00:49:50Again, we need to be more careful.
00:49:55Right.
00:49:57You were just my accountability partner.
00:49:58That's it.
00:49:59No more late night, heart to hearts.
00:50:01No more mixed signals.
00:50:02We are just two people who are forced to be on the same team.
00:50:05I understand.
00:50:08I'm late for practice.
00:50:09You can take your number back to the office.
00:50:18Hello?
00:50:20So, my own daughter sold me out.
00:50:24You're gonna be sorry, you pathetic fucking cockroach!
00:50:35You've got a charity event tonight.
00:50:427pm, downtown, breast cancer awareness.
00:50:46Media will be there.
00:50:48Of course they will be.
00:50:50Which means I'll be there too.
00:50:52To manage optics.
00:50:54Nothing more.
00:50:55Fine.
00:50:57Good.
00:50:59Great.
00:51:00Smile.
00:51:01Let's try to avoid any controversy tonight.
00:51:17Well, well, well.
00:51:19Look who it is.
00:51:21Our golden boy.
00:51:24You clean up nice.
00:51:25I'm committed to turning the page, boss.
00:51:28See how long that lasts.
00:51:30He's actually been nothing but a professional.
00:51:32A model representative of the team.
00:51:35So far.
00:51:37We all know it's only a matter of time before he screws up again.
00:51:41Enjoy the evening.
00:51:48I don't believe that.
00:51:50You know what they say.
00:51:52Zebra can't change its stripes.
00:51:54Well, look who it is.
00:51:59Long time no see.
00:52:03Long time no see.
00:52:05I didn't realize you were covering this.
00:52:07Oh, yeah.
00:52:08Last minute Simon.
00:52:09Charity sentiment overpriced champagne.
00:52:11Those people love production art.
00:52:13I've been watching the numbers on the podcast interview.
00:52:15Higher than any other episode we've done this season.
00:52:18Oh, you mean despite your best efforts to bait me into blowing it.
00:52:21That's fair.
00:52:23That's fair.
00:52:24I might have been a little aggressive.
00:52:26Got to get you to crack, but you didn't.
00:52:28This is not the story you want.
00:52:30It's becoming clear.
00:52:32Whatever you're doing to rehab his image, it's working.
00:52:36What's your anger?
00:52:38Believe it or not, I know what I've lost.
00:52:40I expected you to be a train wreck and your head is planted right at the station.
00:52:43Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for joining us tonight in support of breast cancer research.
00:52:53The auction begins shortly.
00:52:55And for the first time ever, we're doing something a little different.
00:52:59Tonight's auction won't feature art or wine or vacation homes.
00:53:03Because tonight, we're auctioning off the players.
00:53:11Because tonight, we're auctioning off the players.
00:53:14That's right folks, tonight's prize isn't a vintage bottle of Chateau Margaux.
00:53:29It's a dinner date with the city's finest.
00:53:33And by fine, we mean really fine.
00:53:36First up, you know him.
00:53:38You love him.
00:53:39He has more touchdowns than the rest this month.
00:53:42Please welcome number 88, Tucker Newsome.
00:53:51Welcome Tucker.
00:53:52Looking very handsome.
00:53:57Tell us, what makes you the ideal date for one lucky bidder tonight?
00:54:01I'm Peng Chu, and I don't check my phone at dinner.
00:54:04Unless it's CSB.
00:54:10A man who's present.
00:54:12We love it.
00:54:13Okay, lightning round.
00:54:15Dine in or take out?
00:54:17Cooking for two.
00:54:18I try.
00:54:20Tattooed or no?
00:54:21Okay.
00:54:22All earned.
00:54:26Boxers were briefs.
00:54:28I guess he's gonna have to win the auction to find out.
00:54:36And one last thing before the bidding begins.
00:54:39Ladies, you didn't think we'd let him off the stage without making him work a little harder for it, did you?
00:54:44It is for charity after all.
00:54:46Hit it!
00:54:47Yeah!
00:54:48All right, guys.
00:54:49How are you ready?

01:09:12the sentinels organization takes its code of conduct very seriously
01:09:18after reviewing the footage and the timeline of the events
01:09:23we've reached a decision regarding mr newsome's future with the team
01:09:29effective immediately
01:09:35if you're gonna drag someone through the mud make sure it's the right person
01:09:44miss richards this isn't it's miss rivers actually
01:09:49leon rivers is my father
01:09:55and the truth is that video
01:09:58it wasn't tucker's mistake
01:09:59it was mine
01:10:04i was the one who crossed the line i pursued him and i lied about who i was
01:10:08i let things get personal and i compromised my role with this organization
01:10:15i tried to keep things professional
01:10:18i didn't
01:10:20so if anyone should face the consequences for what happened
01:10:23it's me
01:10:28you're up
01:10:30yes i do
01:10:36you saved me that night in more ways than one
01:10:40i won't let you lose everything for doing the right thing
01:10:43we all say we want players who are good men who protect women who stand up when it counts
01:10:52and that is exactly what tucker newsome did
01:10:56and i won't let that get buried under spin and scandal
01:10:59you're saying this was a personal failing on your part
01:11:16yes
01:11:17and i'll accept the consequences
01:11:19yes
01:11:20just don't make tucker your scapegoat
