The score!

Why are you stepping down, J.C.?

Yeah, I feel like I had nothing left to give the organization.

I felt like as a player I sacrificed the back end of my career,

and I sacrificed time with my family, and I did those for the players. And I would do them again. I love working for the players. In the last five weeks, I feel like I've had to sacrifice my public reputation. There's been some stories out there about me that aren't true. And I've been asked to sit on that and not talk about it. And that was for the organization. That wasn't for the players. And in the end, I feel like I couldn't do that anymore. I've always said the only thing I've ever wanted to care about was being a great dad and a great husband. And once this job wasn't fun anymore or hurt my family, I was out. And it happened both of those at the same time and it was time for me to leave.

That's interesting. That was after Lloyd Howell, who was the leader of the Players Association,

had to resign in disgrace and J.C. Treader was on the patrick show talking about it and now all of a sudden

j c treter's name has popped back up as maybe replacing lloyd how which is amazing that this is

the place that we're at and i get that get that this is going to be union stuff.

This is player union stuff.

So it's a little bit complicated and it might make your eyes glaze over.

Luckily, I have Carmen Vitale here in studio with me.

She covers the league.

She's in the locker rooms.

I used to cover the league and be in the locker rooms.
