You know, they say things happen in threes. We had a New York owner be very candid about a player.

0:09.9

We had, and we'll give you the details coming up here in a second, a New York player, be very candid about a coach from another team.

I was waiting for something else to happen yesterday. Maybe it'll happen today. But I just want to emphasize in advance.

1:37.5

He was playing the role, I always believed, of what he thinks an NFL quarterback should
