0:00.0	And away we go, episode one thousand one hundred ninety seven of the Al Galdi podcast. It is Wednesday, November 12th, 2025. It is the day after the
0:25.9	three-and-seven Washington commanders landed in Spain for their game against the three-and-seven
0:31.0	Miami Dolphins in Madrid, this Sunday morning at 9.30 in week 11 of the NFL's 20-25 regular season
0:37.3	of the commanders landed in Spain on Tuesday
0:39.9	morning. This also is the day after quite the Instagram post by Commander's Interior
0:46.0	Defensive lineman Duran Payne. So the NFL on Monday morning announced that Payne had been
0:51.2	suspended without pay for one game, this for throwing a punch
0:54.3	at Detroit Lions receiver Ammanra St. Brown during the commander's 44-22 loss to the Lions at

1:05.4	lineman Javan Kinlaw during his post-game session with reporters on Sunday night said that he
1:09.9	saw Ammanra St. Brown hit Duran
1:12.4	Payne first. There had been no clear evidence of this until now. Pain in an Instagram post on
1:19.1	Tuesday had video of St. Brown clearly throwing a punch at pain a few plays prior to Payne throwing
1:27.4	a punch at St. Brown. No penalty or punishment
1:30.8	for St. Brown, despite him throwing the punch right in front of an official. You know,
1:36.7	that's an ironic name for a monra, Saint Brown. No saint is he. Now, this video does not excuse Duran Payne for what he did. He needs to be
1:46.8	smarter than that. Him putting himself in position to be ejected and suspended really is
1:52.4	inexcusable, especially considering that he was a captain for this game. But him throwing that
1:57.6	punch now has more context and props to his teammate, Javan Kinlaw,
2:02.8	for preaching some truth.
2:04.8	Hello and welcome to this Wednesday installment of the Al-Galdi podcast on which we always
2:09.7	preach truth.
