I thought you wanted me to play through injury.

I smoked 17 packs of cigarettes a day. You haven't asked me that yet. I am Stu Gotts Jr. That's what everyone calls me on the street. Why did we go from coughing to diarrhea? Where was the link there? I think David has diarrhea, and he was trying to diagnose what he has to blame in me.

Yeah, there's no way on an NFL sideline for you to get that information. So there's nothing that could have changed at quarter one, play one, to when they got to that moment. And my question, Dan, is was he kicked off of the sideline because he refused to play? Or did he voluntarily say, hey, I'm not going in and just left the sideline? If the latter is the case...

then he probably is done in his NFL career. Because to walk off a sideline, it's one thing not to go in, which is terrible in and of itself, but maybe there is some explanation of why I cannot go perform. If you leave the sideline, that is quite literally you walking away from your NFL career.

Yeah, no, that wasn't something I was willing to negotiate, which is a different situation than this. And maybe it's not. Maybe that's my own bias, thinking that the situations are different. But I don't know these people. And what's most important at that point in my life is making sure I have a paycheck because I have a baby on the way.

And I can't risk going out there and putting something on film that will ruin the opportunity for what is the closest thing to financial freedom for me. In this situation, I don't believe that is the case.

Because even if he was, for whatever reason, wanted to go about it to where he did not truly want to play and it wasn't just a hissy fit because he was upset that their all-everything linebacker had come back from an Achilles tear and they chose him over him.

He maybe thought he would put enough on tape to make it seem like that was his position or they would have to earn it back because he's been the guy they've depended on. That's what that feels like. Because even in the other scenario, you go out there and play, and you grab your hamstring, or you grab your neck, or you fake it and be like, hey, I did one play, I can't play.

That's not what happened. This seemed like he was trying to retaliate for a move he didn't agree with, and when you needed me most, I'm going to try to get you back.

Yeah, and I don't think you're wrong, especially when you're getting paid that much.

I can't exactly remember, Mike. You know, my brain is fuzzy. I've taken a lot of hits. He has diarrhea. I have diarrhea, you know. I've taken so many meds this morning because David keeps slipping them in my coffee.
