Hello, Boomer. Good morning, guys. Another wild win up there in Gillette yesterday. What a game. And I don't know if you heard me. I said it somewhere along our program yesterday. Maybe it was halftime. It could have been postgame that I was actually going to buy Phil Sims, the TB12 book because of the way Thomas played the last two weeks. And I don't know what he's taken. I don't know what he's eating, but I certainly want to get a piece of that. Well, you know, he says that if you drink enough water, you won't get sunburned. Well, that's good to know, especially if you are fair skin like I am. So I think more water will be drank by me. I'm sure Phil Sims, because he's basically invisible when you look at him.

He's so white, so maybe a little bit more water for both of us.

All right.

Boomer, you guys spent a lot of time on this yesterday.

What was your read on the reaction to Trump's comments by the players?

I thought everything was completely predictable.

I saw the speech on Friday night at the rally down in Alabama.

I found it to be cringeworthy.

I knew that the players and the owners would have no choice but to react the way they did.

So yesterday, I think what you saw across the NFL was a lot of anger directed directly at the White House.

It's something that I think we all expected to happen.

And I think most of us tried to put it in that light that it was a show of solidarity.

And it was a unity that I had never seen between the owners and the players before in my life. As a former player, as a union rep, sitting down and negotiating tables, dealing with owners when it comes

to fighting for your own contract. I have never seen anything quite like it. So in a weird way,

the president became a unifier, but in a unifier against him and against his words that he used

in Alabama. What did you make of the fans at Gillette booing the people who were kneeling yesterday? Yeah, I understand that part of it too. You know, I'm against the kneeling for the flag. I've said it a thousand times, and it all started with Colin Kaepernick a year ago, and I believe that when you put on an NFL football uniform and you step into an NFL stadium, you're going to work. That's your workplace and people are paying

big dollars to come and watch you do your thing on the field and appreciate your athleticism and

your intensity. And I really felt like everything kind of got sideways when Colin decided to do what

he did. So I'm against totally kneeling against the flag. But yesterday, I think it was a whole

different story as to why people were kneeling.

It was a direct reaction to what happened on Friday.

So I also understand why NFL fans are disgusted by what they see as unpatriotic actions by the players.
