0:13.0	Welcome to the Peter King Podcast. We've got a special episode this week. Glad you're here with me to experience it.
0:16.0	We've got Brett Fav in what I'm calling
0:20.0	Brett Fav at 50, the podcast.
0:24.5	Pretty imaginative.
0:26.3	I met with Farv in August.
0:28.0	It is home in Mississippi, in Southern Mississippi,
0:31.5	and sat with him for three quarters of an hour going over his career, his

1:42.6	Jay Gruden is 14 games under 500 and his six years as coach.
1:47.8	He had enough time to turn this program around, didn't do it. No one, I'll never say well boy he really deserved to be fired but if anybody
2:00.0	could see I mean everybody could see this coming.
2:02.6	And again, I don't like to see anybody lose his or her job,
2:07.0	but that's what you sign up for in the NFL.
