Kenny & Pete start off with the joint statement from the NFL & NFLPA about players not being punished for protesting during the national anthem and the power dynamic athletes have starting from high school and how it changes once they get to college or the professional ranks. They then address who did & didn't get paid. Did Le'Veon Bell overplay his hand in negotiating his deal or should elite running backs be payed for their overall value? Pete was on his petty tip. Kenny is drunk with sound board power but it's ironically justified. Greg Papa and Tom Flores was fired by the Raiders as a member of the Raiders radio hosts during game days after 30 years of service with the team. Pete is ripe with righteous indignation. Creative differences & telepathic pettiness are a lynch-pin of the 81st episode. We figured out the number. Kenny isn't a fan of their replacements
