| 0:00.0 | Odyssey.com. Rewind. If you want to hear about the scriptwriters, great interview by the morning |
| 0:05.7 | show, Dan Campbell. We thank you for your honesty. And Jim Costa can go to hell forever doubting |
| 0:12.1 | me. So let's get into it. It's become a big story. I know last week everybody got their |
| 0:18.0 | rocks off using me as a pinata up in East Lansing. |
| 0:21.8 | Uh-oh, I was right. |
| 0:23.2 | So here we are. |
| 0:24.8 | This Jonathan Smith, the calls for Jonathan Smith's job, this is, RICO, this is turned into an avalanche. |
| 0:31.8 | It is stunning. |
| 0:34.1 | I don't think there's any turning back, barring a two-game miracle. |
