What does the 'woke NFL media mob' mean?
Welcome to Pablo Torre Finds Out. I am Pablo Torre, and today we're going to find out what this sound is.
By the way, I will hand on the lie detector test, say, did you ever knowingly and deliberately screw somebody? The answer is no. Right after this ad.
I was on the West Coast, I believe, judging by the pattern of the curtain. The fact that he schlepped all this stuff is really remarkable. It's a tribute to you and to the show. It's just the tenacity that our staff has. You have to want it. You have to want to climb over the lowest bar available for any participant.
I don't hear anything. I don't see anything. There it is. You can't see anything. We can see and hear John. Who the f*** is calling on Matt Cocoa? God damn, I hate technology.
It's going to be a good cold open, though. If this show ever airs, I guess, would be a caveat. Did it ever occur to anyone to do a rehearsal?
Okay. I can't hear anything. I can see you. It's lovely to see you.
Good to see you, John. Oh, now I hear it. Hey, look at that. On the laptop, there's a volume up button, and that will turn up the volume of your headphones. Do you see a button? It could be above F12. I do. And that may work. It did work. Thank you, David. Hey. No problem. That is the extent of my IT expertise right there.
David Sampson advising John Skipper on tech support. It's like a two year old teaching an infant how to drive a car. Well, that's true.
And now we are starting something resembling a show. A show that has never happened in this way. John Skipper, undisclosed location, not in this studio. David Sampson. John, hello.
I've entered the witness protection program. The Department of Justice is trying to make a case against me. I'm being Pam Bondied. It's a verb now.
Kash Patel just out of frame monitoring John Skipper contributing to the first... remote sporting class taping he has ever participated in, David. We have made history here today.
I was unfortunately part of all the text exchanges, getting John his equipment, getting him set up, and all of the pre-show shenanigans. And I just want to personally thank John for the effort. It's been Herculean in nature, and it's been as ineffective as it's been funny. But on the other hand, it's super happy, and I'm happy to see you guys.
I'm happy to see you, David.
Yes, clean-shaven David Sampson. Thank you for making the time, as always. We've been tracking, of course, your whereabouts and our thoughts and our love goes out to you and the family, as always. But we've got to barrel into sports business because our audience demands it from us. I want to start, though, with a little bit of sports media because, David, I don't want to re-litigate the story of Lynn Jones, the Jacksonville reporter, the local reporter for the black newspaper who's been working in Jacksonville for decades upon decades, and ask the question... of Jacksonville Jaguars head coach, Liam Cohen, right after the game in which they got eliminated from the postseason. They got everybody online mad about sports journalism, apparently.
Lynn Jones, Jacksonville Free Press News. I just want to tell you congratulations on your success, young man. Thank you. You hold your head up, all right? You guys have had a most magnificent season. Thank you. You did a great job out there today. Appreciate it. So you just hold your head up, okay? Thank you, ma'am. And ladies and gentlemen, Duval, you the one, all right? Thank you, ma'am. You keep it going. We got another season, okay? I appreciate it. Take care and much continued success to you and the entire team.
Thank you, ma'am. I just want to briefly acknowledge what people are mad about, which is that reporters, sports reporters have stood up and said, we're not allowed to cheer for the team. We're not allowed to say stuff like this as a matter of like what our professional standards are. And this set off this argument which is not really about one thing, but lots of things. Because the reporters, the sports reporters, were referring to the Adam Schefter tweet, as far as I could see it, in which he said, what a great comment by this reporter, and he's the one who made this thing go viral.
