Ladies and gentlemen, welcome once again to Packernet.

The Packernet podcast, actually, is what we're doing right now.

I'm your host and resident panelists.

As always, Ryan Shillip, check us out online, packernet.com.

Find me on Twitter, pack underscore, daddy. I get them confused. All right, um, we're going to continue. We're going to finish what we did yesterday. It makes no sense to just do the first half. You know what I mean? Especially since the second half, things got better. First half was worse. You don't want to end on a terrible note. Let's end on a good note. Before we get there, I think it's obviously important that we discussed the fact that Jaya Alexander has officially been shut down for the year. In a way,

as much as, I'll be honest, I don't even know exactly what the dialogue is.

I haven't seen a ton.

But I...

We'll see.

We'll see exactly what the reaction is.

There is a sense in which, in my opinion, this is a good thing.

And the only reason I say that is it puts to rest any speculation of him being some kind of an off-the-field distraction,

terrible teammate, whatever. And honestly, I don't know where that ever came from. What is one example of him

being some kind of a locker room cancer? I know last year he got suspended, but what did he do?

It was what, his hometown or something, and he thought it would be cool to be the team captain. So he's like, I'm going to go out there. I think his teammates were like,

yeah, dude, you should go out there. So it was just kind of like this fun thing that he didn't think

would be that big of a deal. Turns out it is a big deal. He got suspended. He apologized and we moved on.

Do you have any other examples of him being some kind of a cancer? I can't think of any.

He's a goofball. He's a fun guy. Seems to be very well liked. I don't think there's any issues there. He's had injuries, and I know that

annoys a lot of people, and I think, you know, I think a lot of people no matter what have written

him off, they're mad at him, they don't like him for whatever reason.

And so they've made it up in their mind that he's just a terrible, awful, no good human being.
