Live from Southern California. This is the Jim Rome Show.

I want to talk about Jean Moran. I think most of us can agree that the association is much better with

John Moran in it. Most of us can also agree that it's awesome to watch that guy

ball, which is why most of us were so frustrated and disappointed when he decided to completely

derail his own career for the dumbest possible reasons. Like, it sucked not seeing JAW out there for 25 games. But let's be clear.

JAW was the reason that JAW was not out there for 25 games because JAW did not just flash a firearm on Instagram live once. He did it twice. Even after

the league basically let him get away with a slap on the wrist the first time he did it.

So it sucked.

It sucked but it sucked because Jod did it himself and what he did sucked and if you know that's normally not a take it's

not but in this case it's true it did suck and it was concerning and we were basically on the same boat a pulling for this

dude to get his head right to get his head straight and put all that nonsense behind

him because nobody enjoys watching a talent like this tank his own career and it

hasn't been very enjoyable watching the Griz either the number two seat in the

west last year stumble out to a six to 19 start. Nothing good

about that. Pretty damn depressing actually, considering it was their own

alleged face of the franchise and alleged future face of the franchise and the entire association that put them in that hole.

So once again the entire situation was pretty miserable until JAW showed up again last night and so JAW

showed up and reminded us exactly what we've all been missing or really

exactly what he took away from his team all

been missing or really exactly what he took away from his team and his city and his fans and the

rest of us. What he could have completely pissed away for himself and for all of those they're counting on him.

Clearly, the League can survive without John Moran.
