Monday edition of PFT Live. This is something that landed yesterday, Ollie Connolly, of

the read optional. I don't know what a substack is. I think it's just like a blog. It's like a

blog platform. And I think you have to pay, but you don't have to pay. You sign up. You still get it.

I don't know. I don't know how it works.

But I do know this. There was a report that Ruben Bain Jr. was involved in a fatal car accident in 2024. And it's police reports. It's all buttoned up. It happened. There was a 22-year-old passenger in the car. And this is the worst part. Destiny Betts. She was a Georgia student visiting during, I think, spring break was seriously injured, was in a coma for three months,

and eventually died. There were other injuries involved. And so now this is out there. But

the reality is this is the kind of stuff that teams easily find out.

They have resources available to them. Where they can find any police

Don't tell me you knew about it. You didn't report it. Because it's worthy of being reported.

It's a car collision involving a key player that resulted in a serious injury that culminated in death.

Of course you should have reported it if you knew about it.

Don't show up to the table and act like, hey, I'm one of the cool kids that knew all the long.

All the teams knew, and I did too.

You're failing your audience.

It gets back to some of the issues and balances and standards we were talking about earlier.

Why are you deliberately withholding it?

I think sometimes, though, in that, too, like, I understand what you're saying.

I'm not pushing back, but I think sometimes, too, is people don't want to be the one that puts
