| 0:00.0 | Friday, February, February 21, PFT, PM, the last day of the annual one week, PFT Live hiatus, week after the week after the Super Bowl. |
| 0:19.9 | We're back on Monday from our usual locations, |
| 0:24.0 | and then we head to Indianapolis for the scouting combine. It's also day 21 since the Steve |
| 0:30.5 | Tish emails with Jeffrey Epstein came to light, no apparent action by the NFL other than to say |
| 0:36.6 | we may investigate. We're investigating whether we're going to investigate |
| 0:42.1 | if they really wanted to investigate they would bring in mary joe white bring in somebody from the |

| 1:28.5 | coach Brian Flores. |
| 1:29.6 | It was a joke, owner Stephen Ross says, still looking for the punchline there. |
| 1:33.4 | That's how they found the tampering evidence that resulted in significant punishment for the |
| 1:38.9 | Dolphin. |
| 1:39.3 | So generally speaking, nobody wants any investigation to be launched because once it starts, |
| 1:45.2 | you never know what they're going to find. But I know what they won't find. They won't find anything if they don't |
| 1:49.8 | do an investigation. So 21 days, nothing, crickets, other than the perfunctory responses from the |
