Y'all, it never, ever fails. I go out of town for a couple of days and all hell breaks loose in

the headlines. All I want to do is be behind this microphone. I love my family. It really do. We had a

nice couple of days off. The kids had a Monday and Tuesday off from school and so it was nice to hang out with family and stuff.

But gosh, I know I'm in the right career because I just wanted to, with all the news,

I got things to say.

Welcome.

It is Eric Erickson here.

It is my show from my flagship studio, WSP in Atlanta, across the nation via satellite to you and yours.

The full number,

87737-977-747425 if you want to be on the program. All right, we got to talk about John

Gruden. Yeah, we actually do. It actually is a bigger story than just Gruden. There is no

truth that Urban Meyer released the emails to distract from him.

We'll get into that. But first, we must talk about Southwest Airlines.

If you haven't heard Southwest Airlines has had massive, massive delays and cancellations over the last number of days.

Pretty significant cancellations around the country.

And Southwest itself, more than a little bit, destroyed its credibility on the issue

because Southwest came out originally and said that the reasons were weather and the FAA,

that there were shortages at the FAA in particular, and that had a lot to do with it.

The problem is that the FAA then came out and said,

nope,

there were any significant weather issues around the country and we are not short-staffed.

So the federal government directly contradicted what Southwest Airlines would say. Not only that, it's kind of remarkable that if there were weather issues, Southwest was the only airline plagued by the issues.
