If you're going to go to France and seal yourselves off from the place, I don't think that's really in the spirit of the Lions either.

So it's, yeah, I don't know.

The Lions has a bit of work to do to, in my book, but at the same time, it's incredibly commercially successful and people seem to be, even though everyone hated that tour, it did well.

the thing it's become but it's become the ultimate saga like you wouldn't believe you know Stephen A Smith all these people just all over it yeah and I'm sure like I'd say from a journalistic point of view everyone's looking at stories that she would have broken over the years and where they would have come from and that's

like i guess maybe that's the way we're always going to look at it as journalists it's kind of the ethical like you know you kind of you hear people getting close to sources but there's close and i'm this close it's it's incredibly salacious and incredibly kind of kind of grimy isn't it really to some degree but it's i mean a bit like your beckham special like it's one of these stories that's hard to take your eyes off at the same time and

You know, people are talking about it.

We can kind of, you can be high handed on these things.

So, you know, but if the whole world is talking about it and America's dug into it, it's going to be hard for them to kind of ever get away from it.

It's like Vrabel said, I think he said he talked to the players about it.

You're like looking at these kind of.

no but if you lose your credibility within a dressing room it doesn't have to be a sackable offence it can be and it might not be next season until next season that you kind of realise if you're the Patriots owners that but if it's distracting from the business at hand and if he's missing stuff because of it that's going to be undermining his credibility as coach as well like if their draft picks turn out to be disastrous everyone's going to point to the fact that he missed one of the days to go to a counsellor

I do think when you have like those people were incredibly unlucky that they were caught on a big screen at a gig.

you know, Vrabel and, and is it Rossini?

Yeah.

Like they both have public profiles.

You'd imagine, you know, a bit of discretion is needed if you're, you know, if you're recognizing every bar you walk into.

I know.

You gotta, you gotta be a bit more cautious, I presume.

I made it on something.

Pleasure, Joe.
