We move into our number two. Welcome to the program. I'm Jim Rome. I'm in Southern California. For a lot of you, I'm live. Maybe for some of you I'm not. Either way, it's good to have you here, no matter where you are or how you're here. We start our second hour, and I want to talk more about the news that broke this morning, where the NFL has handed down a three-game suspension to Aziz.

And you just heard sound, actually video of Nick the Clone, formerly Nick Assyrio,

GM of the Texans.

And I mentioned I'm no Nick a lot of years.

I've never seen him so angry.

He's really angry.

And I think what he's most angry about, just to reset this, not the three-game suspension per se, although that is

punitive and it comes in a really bad time. And that's going to hurt that team. That team's got a lot of

issues already. And now it's got another issue. And it's not a three-week suspension because

they're on a buy this week.

It's a three-game suspension.

But I think what Nick is really unhappy about is the league saying, and I quote, this is part of their statement,

your lack of sportsmanship and respect for the game of football and all those who play, coach, and enjoy watching it,

is troubling and does not reflect the core values of the NFL. Your continued disregard for

NFL playing rules puts the health and safety of both you and your opponents in jeopardy

and will not be tolerated.

I mean, you'd have to work pretty hard to come up with a more damning statement about a player than that.

Honestly, that is harsh.

That's full volume and as loud as they can turn up the decibel level from the NFL.

I'm not sure I've ever seen the NFL say something like that about a player as a result of something that happened on the field.

And this is why Nick, we had to bleep Nick out.

One more thing.
