	Greetings and welcome back, folks.
	Great to have your Rush Limbaugh, the EIB network.
	You know those interviews that Obama did with these three YouTube stars?
	I mean, some outreach.
	You know what the uh the whole, I don't know what you call it, program, whatever you call it, at its peak.
	It only had 84,000 viewers.
	Some outreach.
	84,000 YouTube viewers.
	Live from the Southern Command in Sunny, South Florida.
	It's open line Friday.
	Yes, sir, we bob.
	Great to have you, Rush Limbaugh executing a signed host duties flawlessly.
	Zero mistakes.
	Open line Friday where you you determine what it is that we talk about.
	It does not have to be politics.
	It does not have to be Obama.
	It doesn't have to be Republican, Democrat, Liberal, Conservative.
	It could be anything.
	Pretty much anything you want.
	I mean, look, it's got to be sane.
	Don't misunderstand.
	I don't want to have to sit here and need a translator, and I really don't talk about stupid stuff.
	So, but you know, sometimes I have to, it depends.
	What's stupid to some is brilliant to others.
	And it's in those instances that I must utilize all the patience that I have.
	At any rate, the telephone number is 800 282288 to the email address L Rushbo at EIBNet.com.
	What if the footballs were not deflated during the game?
	What if all that was done before the game?
	What if the investigation they're looking for who deflated the football?
	What if nobody did?
	What if the Patriots footballs were deflated before the game and given to the referees in an illegal state and passed.
	We don't know how extensively the refs checked those footballs.
	We don't know any of this until we heard about it all this week.
	My point is that the NFL's out there doing an investigation.
	I haven't talked to Brady yet, which understands by design to talk to him last after they've talked to everybody else, but what if there was no deflating to be found?
	And I guess again I want to say, you know, all of these experts everywhere on TV saying, there's not an equipment manager in the NFL that would do something like this.
	That quarterback, no one.
	There's not there's not a bull boy in the NFL who would do this.
	Fine, okay, that they're letting it be known that there is no way an underling would do this.
	So who do you think is going to be the fall guy once once they do get to the bottom of this, if ever.
	Not convinced they want to, but if they do.
	What's the least damage?
	Some little ball boy, some assistant equipment manager did it.
	Brady would be shocked to find out.
	Well, he'd never approve something like that.
	Why?
	He's saying ask you to consult my press conference.
	I didn't do anything.
	I've never, I don't even care.
	I get those balls before the game, I touch them, I feel them, I ripe them, I massage them, I pinch them, I derbining, and uh finish, and they're perfect, and I don't want anybody touching them after that.
	And then it's later learned that some ball boy trying to suck up to Brady, took some action.
	I told you I didn't do it, Brady said.
	Poor ball boy, poor b.
	And then the guy's the fall guy and everything's.
	Now, in that scenario, in that scenario, somebody did this.
	Here's the bottom.
	Somebody deflated the footballs.
	Okay.
	Now there's obviously some omerta going on.
	Whoever did it.
	Brady and Belichick have to be very, very confident.
	Whoever did it is not gonna squeal.
	They've got to be very, they've also got to be very confident the NFL doesn't know anything.
	Otherwise, there'd be no reason for these two, Belichick and Brady, to go out and just flatly deny this every which way possible.
	The only reason to do that is if they know the NFL isn't close.
	And if they're pretty confident the NFL isn't going To get close.
	However, over here, somebody did it.
	Over here, somebody did it, and that person knows who he is.
	And then over here may be somebody with a wad of money.
	A journalist.
	An analyst.
	Somebody who wants to make a name for himself.
	Who may start waving that wad of money around to whoever might have deflated the footballs.
	Say, the equipment manager, a ball boy.
	So enterprising young journalist who wishes this was Watergate starts waving around a lot of money or a trip to Caracas or wherever and says, tell me you did it and this is yours.
	Brady and Belichick have to be very confident that whoever did this is never ever going to divulge it.
	The drive bys in sports think they've got their water gate.
	Now we play the subbites.
	They think they've got their water gate.
	I love this.
	So they're not going to let it go.
	They want this to get bigger.
	They want it to get more mysterious.
	They want there to be a deep throat.
	They want there to be some parking garage where the walls were actually deflated on Friday night before the game and fake balls were given to them.
	They want all of that.
	And meanwhile, Brady's up there saying, I didn't do it.
	I didn't ever do it.
	I wouldn't do it.
	I don't think I'm a cheater.
	No.
	Are you a cheater?
	Well, I don't think so.
	He didn't say no.
	I'm not.
	No, I don't think I cheat.
	He left it open.
	This is so.
	It's it's the network newscast last night spent eleven minutes combined on uh on all of this.
	But there's other news.
	Did you hear this?
	A federal judge has decided to make permanent an injunction overturning Arizona's ban on issuing driver's licenses to young immigrants who were brought to the U.S. illegally as children.
	These are the dreamers.
	Judge David Campbell, Federal District Court issued the permanent injunction yesterday, citing the irreparable harm caused to the young immigrants by not being able to have a license under an executive order issued by the former governor Jan Brewer, Ms. Brewer, who left office this month, argued that President Obama did not have the authority to act unilaterally in deferring deportations.
	See, who who cares about the law?
	The federal judge doesn't care about the law.
	The law, I mean, big deal.
	Illegal aliens have a civil right to drive in our country, the judge said, and there's nobody that can say otherwise.
	The governor of Arizona and whoever else in Arizona who tried to prevent illegals from getting driver's licenses, they don't have that right.
	Everybody knows, because I'm proclaiming it today as a federal judge, that illegal aliens have a civil right to drive in the U.S. And furthermore, do you know what else?
	They don't have to have insurance.
	Illegal aliens can get a driver's license, and they don't have to have insurance in the ruling.
	Judge Campbell cited examples of penalized immigrants, including one man unable to pursue a career as a firefighter because a local department required a license, a driver's license, and a graphic designer whose days were consumed by commuting by public transportation to meet clients because couldn't get a driver's license.
	And that's not fair.
	It's not fair.
	These illegals are contributing mightily to our society.
	The illegals are pertaining mightily to our culture.
	And look at their firefighters and they're graphic designers, and they have to take public transportation or they can't get hired.
	It isn't fair.
	So federal judge said, we're gonna let them have driver's licenses.
	Which you may be so what, Rush?
	Why are you opposed to?
	A driver's license is what?
	It's a photo ID.
	What do you get to do with that?
	Vote.
	It's about voting, folks.
	It isn't about driving.
	It's not about driver's licenses, it's not about automobile insurance, it's about finding a way for the illegal aliens to start voting sooner than anybody thought Possible.
	I mean, you go to the right Democrat precinct, you got a driver's license, it doesn't matter, you're registered or not, they'll find a way to get you to vote.
	So that's what this is all about.
	By the way, I thought, aren't the employers of these illegal aliens breaking the law?
	I mean, uh, graphic designers hiring illegals is that that's not legal, right?
	And fire departments hiring illegals, that's not legal, right?
	Well, I guess it is.
	Well, the judge said that he's going to ignore those laws because there's a human need.
	A human civil right need for illegals to be able to drive.
	You can't be an American if you can't drive.
	And so all these other laws, I'm brooming them.
	And uh that's what happened.
	Meanwhile, the subject of Arizona, this is from our old buddies at campus reform.
	Headline, white professor teaches problem of whiteness course at Arizona State.
	Arizona State University students can now learn about the problem of whiteness in America.
	University is offering an English class to its students this semester called Studies in American Literature Slash Culture, U.S. race theory, and the problem of whiteness.
	This is an English class.
	According to the description of the class, the ASU website, students will be reading the Possessive Investment in Whiteness, that's a title, critical race theory, everyday language of white racism, playing in the dark, and the alchemy of race and rights.
	At the time of publication, 18 students were enrolled in the course offered at Arizona State's Tempe campus.
	Students can receive three credits for successfully completing the course.
	Here again, the the reading material, let me go through the list again.
	Possessive investment in whiteness, critical race theory, everyday language of white racism, playing in the dark, and the alchemy of race and rights.
	James Malone, a junior economics major, student, i.e., said to uh campus reform, I think it shows the significant double standard of higher education institutions.
	They would never allow a class talking about the problem of blackness, and if they did, there'd be an uproar about it, but you can certainly harass people for their apparent whiteness.
	Come on, come on, uh Mr. Malone, everybody knows black men's greed doesn't run a world in need.
	That's white men's greed doing that.
	Quote Jeremiah right.
	So, big news out of Arizona.
	You're not going to hear about this anywhere today, more than likely.
	Well, you might, but you're not going to hear about it in the news media.
	Because there isn't any news media.
	Let's do another Obama Glosell Green interview segment on YouTube.
	84,000 people tuned in to the president's decision to be interviewed by internet YouTube stars.
	Uh this uh Glosell Green, after disclosing that she's cut the hoods off of her husband's hoodies because she's afraid of him being shot by the POPO, Obama responded.
	Young African American males are typically seen as older than they are.
	And so a lot of the way to solve this is to improve training so people can be aware of their biases ahead of time.
	Just by the small fix of keeping track, suddenly each cop, when they were about to make a traffic stop, they had to think, okay, am I stopping this person because I should be stopping them, or is some bias at work?
	You've got to be kidding me.
	This is not you can got to be kidding me.
	This just proves the man hasn't the slightest idea what police work is.
	Let's take a look at this.
	Well, young African American males are typically seen as older than they are.
	Is that some kind of bias right there?
	Is that some sort of bigotry discrimination In itself, how does he know that?
	The second thing, and so a lot of the way to solve this is to improve training.
	Have you noticed so many liberal solutions involve training?
	Re-education camps, sensitivity seminars, all of this happy malarkey BS busybody gobbledygook.
	Yeah.
	Improve training so people can be aware of their biases ahead of time.
	Okay, so crime's going down.
	You're a cop, you're in a cop car, you see a crime going down, you're on the way to the crime scene.
	Uh-oh.
	Am I doing this because I'm a racist?
	I better stop and calculate.
	I better stop and take an introspective view of myself.
	Am I looking at this as a potential crime scene, or do I see an opportunity to be a racist pig?
	And if I'm doing this because of my bigotry and racism, then I will stop and I'll let the crime continue.
	What is this?
	Meanwhile, the idiots tuning in, watching this are probably nodding their heads in agreement, thinking, wow, man, this is so cool.
	And then the we'll do one more of these.
	This is the the next question.
	Let's see, uh this question actually, this question from Glosell Green to Obama.
	This is the question with where she says uh the castro put the dick in dictatorship.
	But this might be, this might be a better question than Obama would ever get, say, on Meet the Depressed.
	I have a lot of friends, close friends, who are Cuban Americans.
	And I've heard the stories of their families escaping, and some of them didn't even make it to come to the United States for a better life to get away from the Castros.
	Right.
	Okay, I mean the guy puts Dick in dictatorship.
	So I'm trying to understand how how do you justify dealing with the Castros.
	The guy puts the dick in dictatorship.
	How do you justify dealing with the Castros?
	There isn't a single drive-by info person who would ever ask Obama that question.
	Not like that.
	Gotta take a break now.
	We'll be back.
	And here he is, our esteemed leader who has put the embarrassed in the word embarrassing, Barack Obama answering the question from the great YouTube star, Glow Zell Green.
	Castros put the dick in dictatorship.
	How do you justify dealing with the Castros?
	When you do something over and over again for 50 years and it doesn't work, it's time to try something new.
	Now what we're saying is that by normalizing relations, we're gonna be able to still put pressure on the Cuban government.
	I'm gonna bowl this one out of Parkinson's.
	You got more visitors to Cuba.
	You start getting telecommunications into Cuba, you start getting the internet into Cuba, people's minds begin to change, and over time.
	All right, stop it.
	That's all we look, look, look.
	When you do something over and over again for 50 years, it doesn't work.
	It's time to try something new.
	Hey, how about war on poverty?
	How about great society?
	How about liberalism in general, which has never worked?
	How about socialism much of 50 years, much less 50,000 years?
	It's never worked.
	But certainly the war on poverty is 50 years old.
	Yeah, we're not changing the way we're doing that at all.
	We're ramping up the same way we've been doing it.
	We're making it even worse.
	But I didn't expect Glowzell Green to have any clue about that.
	To the phones, Dina in Atlanta.
	Great to have you.
	Open line Friday.
	Welcome to the program.
	Thanks.
	Nice to talk to you, Russ.
	Thank you.
	I you brought up in the first hour the NFL, the slate gate, and it's irritating me so much.
	And boring, it's more it's boring.
	Like I'm gone hearing about it.
	But the NFL organization is gonna eat this up and ride the free media coverage for as long as they can, because anyone that has one sort of business or advertising class knows that that's publicity is the publicity.
	And like you said, it's gonna ramp up the Super Bowl.
	Absolutely.
	There's no way they're gonna solve this, nor meet out any punishment.
	But this is what bothers me.
	I'm gonna throw some politics into that.
	You know, once the investigation is done, they're gonna find the Patriots.
	Like I I just I see it coming already.
	It's like when an athlete has a dirty head, they're gonna slap them with a 25k fine.
	And then that goes to the NFL organization.
	And that to me, here is what the criminal part of all of this is.
	The NFL organization is a nonprofit.
	They're not for profit.
	So they're untaxable.
	Well ludicrous.
	Yes, yeah, they they they are organized as a nonprofit.
	People are shocked when they hear that.
	National football, I thought it was a ten billion dollar mission.
	It is, but they're organized a nonprofit.
	Now the money they collect from fines, Dina, uh is donated to charity.
	But it's such a small percentage.
	Not even a thimbleful.
	And welcome back to Open Line Friday here on the EAB network.
	El Rushbow.
	Executing assigned to host studies flawlessly, zero mistakes.
	I I had to check something, and it turns out that Obama was right.
	There actually has been a study done on why black young people look older.
	It was in 2011, and it claimed what Obama is claiming, that blacks being perceived as older than they are.
	The name of the study, uh name of the study should give you a hint as to its objectivity.
	Name of the study is the essence of innocence, consequences of dehumanizing black children.
	That's the name of the study.
	The Essence of Innocence, Consequences of Dehumanizing Black Children.
	Who's doing that?
	Who is dehumanizing black children?
	Can I tell you how this study begins?
	The study begins with a quote from Alis Walker.
	This is the very first thing you see when you open this study or look at it on the internet.
	The most important question in the world is why is the child crying.
	That is said to be the most important question in the world.
	Why is the child crying?
	We have one more sound bite here from um Obama and and Glosell Green after Obama explained that we have to change our Cuban policy because after 50 years it hasn't been working.
	Much like the war on poverty hasn't been working, and much like the Great Society hasn't been working, and much like socialism never works, although we're not changing any of that.
	Glosell Green says that she has a gift for Obama.
	My mom said whenever you go to somebody's house, you have to give them something.
	Don't come empty-handed.
	So I have green list, there's one for your first wife.
	My first I mean, I mean Do you know something I don't?
	Oh, for the first lady and the first children.
	And the first oh, I'm too sort of it is impressive stuff.
	I'm gonna ask Michelle to try it on maybe tonight.
	She meant for the first lady.
	She didn't mean first wife.
	And everybody got uh everybody got all embarrassed.
	I I have a friend who's been married 80 years, and he still introduces people.
	I want you to meet my first wife.
	And everybody's first reaction is what are you doing with her?
	Where's your current wife?
	And it's his way of saying he's never been divorced.
	I'd like to meet my first wife.
	It's it's his calling card.
	All right, let's listen to how the drive-by's reacted to this.
	This is Howard Kurtz last night on the Kelly file uh talking about the YouTube interviews.
	Glosell is a star, she's funny.
	Uh, she probably have her own Netflix show by next week.
	But when did eating milk and cereal out of your bathtub become an audition to interview the president of the United States?
	It just seemed beneath the dignity of the office to be hanging out with some of these YouTubers.
	There was um Bethany Modus saying his answers were awesome, asking him what superpower he would like to have, and also taking the selfie.
	So maybe this is how the president wants the White House press corps to act around him.
	Now, how are you guys are missing this?
	Um by the way, this this uh he just insulted Netflix here.
	He's a Glowzell is a star, she's funny.
	She'd probably have her own Netflix show by next week.
	Is getting a Netflix show easy to do or something?
	I don't I uh you know I have a Netflix subscription, but I haven't utilized it all that much.
	I mean, I I'm not a no, no, no, no, no, no, nothing against Netflix.
	I just it's it's that I've got other options I utilize first.
	I watch House of Cards and uh and I I watch Lillyhamber.
	Those are the two when when new episodes of those things come out on Netflix, I'm right there.
	Anyway, uh Tom and Dexter, Michigan, as we head back to the phones because it's open line Friday.
	Great to have you here, sir.
	Hello.
	It's great to be here.
	And I can think of a different word that Obama puts in Uberis, but this is a family show.
	Yes, indeed.
	Well, I was wondering, given this YouTube thing and the low ratings of the State of Union, has President Obama finally, as they say in the television world, jump the shark.
	Meaning has he become a joke within a joke.
	That people don't even pay attention to him anymore, which could of course work for him because nobody's watching what he's doing.
	Yeah, see, that's a bonus for him.
	Uh because he's got grand plans for this country, and they'd be made all that much more easier if nobody's watching.
	If nobody's paying attention, believe me, these next two years, I have a I have a real fear about what he has planned these next two years.
	And as I watch it and watch the media, and they're focused on the the templates, that the usual narratives.
	Okay, so we've got a lame duck president now, and we got the Republican uh presidential nomination race coming up, and who do you think Rush?
	What do you think?
	I think you guys are missing a boat watching the Republicans right now.
	I actually told a drive-by media guy over the weekend, I said, you guys, if if you're the Republican campaign as you see it today isn't going to look a thing like it's going to look a year from now.
	What do you mean?
	Because Obama hadn't even gotten in gear yet.
	These next two years, Katie Bardador, there's nothing stopping him.
	He's already shown that he doesn't really care about observing the limits enforced on him by the Constitution.
	He's got two years left to transform this country, as he promised to do when he took office.
	We know enough now to know what about this country he doesn't like and what aspects of it he needs or wants to change.
	And we know that the Republicans have announced that the only weapon they've got stop him, they're not going to use, i.e., impeachment.
	So the more he goes out and does this YouTube stuff, the more people ah, this guy, he's just lost it.
	Or this guy's become irrelevant.
	Or it just it pays plays into his hands if he's even thinking of it this way.
	I I frankly think that if you want to analyze Obama correctly, Tom, you need to study narcissism.
	You may think you know what it is.
	I mean, all of us may think we know what it is, but it would behoove everybody to actually dig deep and learn about narcissism, because it will go a long way in explaining why Obama would do things like this that no president prior would ever, ever subject the office to.
	No president previous to Obama would ever subject the office to this kind of ridicule.
	He's got no problem doing so.
	In fact, he may enjoy it.
	But if you understand who Obama is, in addition to the narcissism, if you understand the chip on Obama's shoulder about this country, then you would also easily understand that he's not bothered by diminishing the stature of the office.
	I I I don't think people really, even those who claim to get it, I don't think they really do, because it's scary to contemplate.
	It uh it it would force people to say, I can't believe we actually fell for this and elected somebody with this attitude about our own country.
	So people are very uncomfortable going there.
	So instead they'll look for other ways to explain the inexplicable, like this.
	You know what, this guy he's lost it, or he's become irrelevant, or he knows he got shellacked in November elections.
	But when they tell us, as the White House did, that the reason Obama did this was outreach to the youths of America, okay, 84,000 people was the peak audience.
	But beyond that, why does Obama need to reach out to the youth?
	For what purpose?
	Legacy?
	Reputation?
	Image?
	Why?
	He doesn't have another election coming up.
	Whatever he wants next in life really probably does not depend on public opinion.
	So why worry about outreach to the youth?
	Well, Rush, he's still gonna go sell Obama.
	No, he doesn't sell Obama because the law of the land.
	The Republicans are not gonna stop it.
	Well, Rush, you gotta go out and you're really gonna make Kishum McGreet.
	No, the Republicans are all in for executive amnesty.
	The Republicans are not gonna stop executive.
	Look, when it comes to executive amnesty, there's something that we all have to face and admit here.
	The Republicans agree with the idea that the illegal aliens in the country now need to get amnesty.
	Now, some people like Obama think they also need to be put on a path to citizenship.
	Some don't.
	But when it comes to amnesty, both parties are all in because those are future voters.
	And that's why citizenship is not going to be far once the amnesty's fully extended.
	We all know where this is going.
	And both parties want the same thing.
	So he doesn't have to reach out for the youth for that.
	He doesn't need to reach out to the youth for Obamacare.
	He doesn't need to reach out to the youth of America at a peak audience of 84,000 to advance in the economics.
	So why is he doing it?
	Why did they tell us that's the reason?
	It can't be the reason.
	There have to be other reasons for this.
	If you understand narcissism, it'll help you understand some of it.
	In the meantime, folks, a brief obscene profit timeout back after this.
	I'll tell you one of the things that I watched yesterday after the Brady press conference, I I kept it on ESPN.
	They had a bunch of uh former players.
	I had Scott Brunel, former quarterback for the Jacksonville Jaguars, and uh I think even the Jets and the Redskins for a while.
	And they had Jerome Bettis, a bus, number 36 in the Steelers.
	And I am telling you, these people laid in to Tom Brady in ways I never thought I would see.
	Called him a liar.
	They were disappointed.
	He was totally uncredible.
	He had a chance to own this and become bigger than ever, and instead he totally blew it.
	Grab soundbite six, seven, and eight.
	Here's Mark Brunel.
	This is NFL Live after Brady spent 30 minutes with the media yesterday saying he didn't know anything, he didn't do anything, he didn't see anything, he didn't hear anything, he doesn't know anything beyond what he doesn't know, he didn't see anything beyond what he never saw.
	He has no idea what this is all about.
	He doesn't think he's a cheater, he hasn't the slightest idea what went on here.
	It's on to Seattle.
	So now they get to the players, and here's Brunel, first of two.
	I did not believe what Tom had to say.
	Those balls were deflated, somebody had to do it.
	And I don't believe there's an equipment manager in the NFL that would, on his own initiative, deflate a ball without the starting quarterback's approval.
	I just didn't believe what Tom Brady had to say.
	And that was just the beginning.
	I did.
	Brian Dawkins is saying, I every player I saw, every player that ESPN put up, said I don't believe Brady, I don't believe a thing he's saying, and they were incredulous that he handled it the way he did.
	They didn't stop to think that the utter denial means the NFL doesn't have anything and that they know it.
	The Patriots know the NFL doesn't have anything.
	Otherwise they wouldn't deny it.
	As the here's the second Brunell soundbite.
	It's disappointing because my experience is listen, I started 151 games.
	Most quarterbacks would tell you that is their experience.
	That football is our livelihood.
	If he don't feel good about throwing that ball, your success on the football field can suffer for that.
	And so that was a tough one to swallow.
	Yeah, because Brady's out there said, look, after I approve the balls before the game starts, I don't know anything after that.
	I expect to be perfect, and that's it.
	I didn't cheat, I didn't know anything about it.
	And having I know nothing.
	Full-fledged Sergeant Schultz.
	And these guys, see, everybody was expecting with with Belichick handing it off to Brady.
	I guarantee you what I everybody was expecting Brady to be contrite.
	And to at least acknowledge Brady.
	No, he was not ticking.
	No, no, no.
	Brady was smiling and charming and totally open.
	He was accommodating every question.
	You know, Belichick.
	That's all I've got to say about it.
	I'm not going to say anymore.
	Already answered that.
	Screw you.
	I already told you what I thought about it, and I'm not going to say anymore.
	I have nothing else to add, so on the Seattle.
	Brady answered every question as though it was the first time he's been asked.
	Well, yeah, yeah, but these guys are all expecting Brady, I think, to own it and to say something like, ah, yeah, you know, this is it's it's unfortunate.
	Uh we never want things like this to happen.
	Uh basically they wanted him to admit it and apologize for it, and then they could say he's the greatest guy in the world.
	They wanted not maybe if not admit it, to acknowledge that he knew it happened.
	He didn't know how.
	He's very, very sad that it happened.
	He's a horrible thing.
	Oh my God, I wish it had me.
	That's what they wanted.
	And what they got was what are you guys talking about?
	I don't even really know what you're talking about.
	Deflated footballs?
	That's the first I've heard of it.
	I don't even know what you're talking.
	That was the tone of his press conference.
	What are you talking about?
	I looked at the balls two hours for the game, they were fine, and that's it.
	I don't know anything after it.
	What do you mean deflated footballs?
	Nobody's proven to me they were deflated.
	What do you mean?
	And so these guys were just, my God, I can't believe what?
	And here's here's the bus.
	Jerome Bettis was so upset by this, he had to pause while watching it to take a sip of water.
	That's what he said.
	I needed to take a sip of water.
	I could not believe what I heard.
	I'm so disappointed because I thought this was a perfect opportunity for Tom Brady to go and say, you know what?
	I made a mistake, I blew it.
	It's on me.
	I'll take the blame here, and this will go away.
	He didn't do that.
	This was a perfect opportunity for you to call it like you saw it.
	You did not do that.
	I'm disappointed in you, Tom Brady.
	Hey, Jerome, I love you now.
	You know I do.
	I'm a big Steelers fan, but there's no way.
	There's no way these guys are going to admit it.
	This is a huge integrity of the game issue.
	Look at the sports drive-by's are already running around thinking they got a water gate here.
	This is a, you know, there's two things going on here.
	On the one hand, everybody acknowledges this is so irrelevant to the outcome of this game.
	Deflated footballs, pounds per square inch, it's meaningless.
	On the other hand, this is a huge threat to the integrity of the game.
	Well, Jerome, well, Buddy O'Pell, if they're sitting back there at Patriots headquarters and they're reading the manual on the Patriot way, and if they know the NFL doesn't have anything, or if they know the NFL has no way of proving, they're not going to admit doing this.
	That's not going to happen.
	You admit it, you own it, and it takes on an entirely new direction that you lose control over.
	Snerdley, you know what's what if your wife catches you cheating, what do you do?
	You denied, denied, deny, you deny it.
	She shows you the picture.
	You deny it.
	No matter what you deny it, no matter what you're you denied, denied, there's no way Brady was going to admit this.
	But these guys, I they really expected Brady to come out and own it and then fall on the sword.
	So I'm a great guy, and they wanted to praise him that way.
	Oh, yeah.
	If if if somebody yesterday had produced a picture of Tom Brady putting a needle in a football to deflate, he would have denied it.
	Back after this.
	Don't go away.
	That's right.
	The former players are all anti-Brady.
	Tom, I'm sorry, Troy Aikman.
	Troy Aikman's made as much sense on this as uh as anybody.
