0:00.0 | all right we're back with the adam schaefter podcast this week will be a bonus podcast |
0:13.8 | because of the dashan watson ruling that came down on monday now ordinarilyarily at this time, we would be posting the |
0:22.9 | in-depth lengthy and fun interview that we did with the former Packers Pro Bowl Safety, |
0:30.1 | Leroy Butler, who's being inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame this week. But now, |
