Howdy, folks. It's Mike Ryan. You know, the Levitard Show and Miller Lite go way back. Pretty much, I want to say like 95% of our existence, we've been partnered with Miller Lite, and we believe in Miller Lite. They believe in us. It's great to have a partner with a product you truly love. That's me with Miller Lite. I love Miller Lite, always have. In fact, I consider myself a bit of a Miller Time MVP. The friend who says they've got it, I'll pick the spot, I'll throw the cooler in the trunk, bring some Miller Lite, and suddenly what was supposed to be a couple of hours turns into a whole afternoon. That's me, the Miller Time MVP. And it's great for summer hangs. Cools the body down, that beautiful white can.
Not much better than an ice-cold Miller Lite because it's brewed for taste with simple ingredients, clean, refreshing, and easy to drink in the Miami heat. An all-American summer starts with an all-American beer, Miller Lite. Go to MillerLite.com to find delivery options near you, or you can pick up some Miller Lite pretty much anywhere they sell beer.

So there is a curious story and some would say a suspicious story because usually in sports, if you're famous, an accident can't just be an accident. We will have questions. Kyle Shanahan. had an accident 11 days ago, and the information has been slow in getting to us, but we now know he had 40 stitches on his face, he had broken ribs, he had a broken nose, he had a broken hand. Chris Simms, very close friends with Kyle Shanahan, I believe they have each other's initials tattooed on each other's bodies. Chris Simms says that he was close to maybe losing his right eye. A Palo Alto police officer says there will be no information released regarding the cause of this collision or who was at fault. And then Dan Patrick says this because it happened 11 days ago and we didn't learn about it until this weekend.
Dan Patrick asks, why is ESPN holding the information? If you're in the news gathering business, or at least you used to be, The NFL now owns 10% of ESPN, but did ESPN have the information and choose to sit on it for 11 days? Did ESPN say to the Niners, we won't release it until you tell us to release it? Hmm, okay. End quote. The thing that I wanted to ask you guys regarding privacy. and regarding health privacy. There are certain instances where I have seen Miami reporters agree and work with management to not release personal information on why a player is out. There's all sorts of health stuff going on with Porzingis that Steve Kerr, when he mentions a word about it, all of a sudden starts backtracking because there are
uh... they're just stuff that you don't want out there in public that people are in agreement it's okay to keep private But usually when an accident happens in public, the next thing that happens is what's happened to Tiger Woods now a couple of times. We're going through your medical records. We all of a sudden have permission to go past the normal guard gates around privacy and go where the news is. What is your take on what's responsible and fair here? 11 days of silence regarding something that's an accident so horrific that Kyle Shanahan cannot do his job right now. He's still suffering from concussion symptoms and is not able to coach or run the 49ers. What's fair here, Zez?
I don't have an issue with us not having this information. I'm not sure why it's such a big thing if criminal activity didn't take place. The part that I am curious about is it appears, like you said, that sometimes there are instances where the media will be working with management and they're agreeing to not
let the information out it appears that there was some media who had this information and was sitting on it and that part i don't understand this is not the kind of situation that you sit on this is newsworthy prominent successful head coach of a major nfl franchise has extremely serious injuries
