00:00Well, the National Football League has their issues when it comes to people going to jail.
00:04Brandon Iyuk, Josh Jacobs, but never let a good jail story ever get in the way of the National Football
00:12League.
00:12You got to remember something.
00:13The NFL is a league of character.
00:17The National Football League cares about character in the NFL.
00:21They care that their players have a conduct code.
00:24Who are you kidding?
00:25The number one mantra in the National Football League is, can he play and is he healthy?
00:32Then if he's a good dude, that's somehow down the line.
00:37National Football League doesn't care that these guys get records.
00:41These guys have beat women or have done things to animals.
00:46They'll put you back on a football field if you can play.
00:49Remember something here.
00:51The NFL looked at the Mike Vrabel scenario and said, he didn't break any conduct code.
00:57Really?
00:57Okay.
00:58Well, what kind of code of conduct do you have?
01:01I got it.
01:02I know exactly what it is.
01:03You see, the National Football League is cool with this.
01:07I could beat the hell out of Mary Jane, but I can't smoke her.
01:12Oh, okay.
01:14So I get more on a penalty for smoking weed than I do if I have a domestic violence issue?
01:23How is that a conduct code?
01:26Where in your right mind do you have anything where you sit there and say character matters?
01:34Let me say that again to you.
01:36The National Football League is okay with you beating Mary Jane.
01:42But if you smoke her, you get more of a penalty and more of a suspension because you smoked a
01:49joint.
01:49Got it.
01:50Okay.
01:51The NFL will never, ever have a decent conduct code when it comes to players.
01:56Because at the end of the day, remember, the NFL wants the best players on the field.
02:02I've always believed this.
02:03If OJ Simpson and all that stuff went down when OJ was a player with the Buffalo Bills and he
02:10was so-called exonerated in court,
02:13I think the NFL and the Bills would have put his ass right back on the field.
02:18Because that's what the NFL does.
02:21The NFL tries to say that there is some sort of conduct place where they take high-character guys.
02:26It's not about high character.
02:28It's about whether you can play.
02:30Remember, when you're a football player and you're inside that locker room, hey, are you going to play with a
02:37guy like a Brandon Ayuk?
02:39Are you going to play with a guy like this, with this kind of comments being made about him and
02:45his issues and his legal issues or Josh Jacobs?
02:48Of course I am.
02:49You know why?
02:50I've got an incentive based on my contract.
02:53If I'm an offensive lineman, if I'm third in the NFL in rushing and Josh Jacobs helps my Packer offensive
02:59line get to that goal and I make a million dollars,
03:03you bet your ass I want Josh Jacobs on my team.
03:06Do I want him dating my daughter?
03:08Absolutely not.
03:09Remember, the guys who compromise locker rooms in this league are the owners, not the players.
03:15We do not pick and choose what players go into that locker room.
03:21The owners do.
03:22The general managers do.
03:24They want to win at any expense.
03:27Just remember that.
03:29I have no say in whether or not Brandon Ayuk or a guy like Josh Jacobs will play in an
03:36NFL locker room,
03:37but I've got to play with that player or when a guy like a somebody like Adrian Peterson beats his
03:45kid and I've got to have that guy as my running back because I've got an incentive in my contract.
03:51Folks, at the end of the day, remember something.
03:54When players are sitting there and you see someone come into your locker room, the owners put those players in
04:03the locker rooms.
04:05They're the ones that compromise the league, not the players.
04:09You always hear fans saying, how could you play with a guy like that?
04:13I have no say on playing with a player like Brandon Ayuk or Josh Jacobs.
04:20You compromise my integrity by putting that guy in a locker room.
04:26Do you really want to end all this with good character?
04:29Do you know how to end this?
04:31Have a rule.
04:33Don't beat women.
04:34Don't beat the elderly.
04:36Don't be harmful to animals.
04:39And you can never play ever again.
04:43You think the NFL would ever put those rules in?
04:47Hey, man, if you don't stand for something, you'll fall for everything.
04:52National Football League doesn't have a code of conduct.
04:55The National Football League has a code of how you get to the best ability to be able to win
05:03a football game.
05:04End of story.
05:06And if that's what low character dudes, you'll do it.
05:09If that's a guy who's involved in a murder case and he's going to play linebacker for you, so be
05:16it.
05:17The NFL doesn't have a conduct code.
05:19They tell you they do.
