Darya good morning gary james the morning darya per ed darya final late tomorrow dolphins owner steven ross is actually going to talk to martin. James i did i will be surprised if even a place for them again. heres what he had to separate the we are appalled. Im going to meet with him facetoface and hear what he has to say and then i will deal with it from there. Darya in dealing with it he says he will bring to the locker room into a culture that suits the 21st century. James if this does make anybody who thinks this is funny to ross people are talk about somebodys mother. See thats the deal for it whenever somebody says all that for martin. He kept in touch with of the bully and he tried to be friends with them. Of course he did. Hes probably scared. He probably said hey i have to somehow try and make a connection with these guys and then it just got too much for him. Darya and then the whole argument about everything that happened. A kind of gets further confused by one of your. I know what to call him a friend about this case in the archive. Maybe its one mans fault. Maybe we take the fun out of football. James gary darya is that womens fault. Somehow weve ruined football. Gary im just saying if youve been on the Minor Leagues stations for almost nine years theres a tendency for it. Its just a guy trying to Say Something and he got some attention but unfortunately its the wrong kind. I think people mix it up. If he was on the regular stations with the advertising and ratings, maybe they would not have been no let him stay but when its on the Minor Leagues station, put him on there and hopefully he grows up. Darya so the thing thats bart everything in case youre just catching up. Listen to this one snippet. i enjoyed many of the womens contributions to the sports bridge well thats a lie. I cant even pretend that trooper if there are very few small handful of women who are any good at this at all. Thats the truth. Darya so he goes from san he was tried to talk about john fmr 10 and basically saying has opinion is that market handled it wrong and its a guys a world and if you can stand the heat this is the way, the locker room desperate he went from that to women shouldnt be in sports first of all agreed it was like what. James and hes not a bad kid. Hes just frustrated. Hes not seeing any advancement and so out back to 99 percent of that was out of frustration. He wanted something to read about and that was it. For anybody who makes a big deal out of this, we are just looking to fill time ourselves. Darya and i guess i moved off of the martin think it started focusing on what he said and he said i dont expect women to understand and manage to anything more and then that man up would understand labor pains. He basically said demand should to be obstetricians. Is that what he meant . hes not a bad guy. But see 3839 single guy. Hes on a secondtier radio station. Hes trying to get off the second tier station. I dont think hes. I think hes just frustrated in his career and thats it. Its frustration. When you show off for a living and theyre not advancing in your career, you did frustrated and thats it. Darya and hes tried to grab a headline. And with everything thats going on and called for a football. Nba handed came out with an anti hazing memo. They say basically none of the biggies. No violence, no racial slurs, no threats. And also note kid seemed to back packs because for 20 years they have it rookies where kids deemed a backpacks. if youre part of the team youre part of the team. Hopefully everything out of the martin deal will stop all this nonsense. Darya i think this is a line. I think we can find that line and i think thats what football was going to do that we are going to make our reporters your kron 4 stop carrying backpacks. laughing. are right gary.
