We rarely. You -- on inside radio secrets in all the -- behind the scenes look at the Dennis and Callahan program. But I think I shall do -- -- this morning church just off air discussion about a minute and a half ago. It's not a joke -- this a serious we're trying to decide whether we should be given the status Tuesday morning. With rehashing the details of the Napoli acquisition a an acquisition you learned about yesterday and talk about his little BP in 2011 was a much better season yeah 1012 and -- Surplus of catchers and it's almost over just aux sports type of thing. Or do we go to the newly released details. You're 24 unheard of details about Belcher in Kansas City and the murder suicide out there. What we live it up the Kirk Douglas. The deciding vote and then there which what you -- ago it was at radio mean well -- Carlson. And probably wants to do Kate Middleton pregnancy Austria and whether -- rewards and -- their. Currency. When he said preceding Middleton I think maybe Steve -- breaking news in to lock out yet that -- in the view as that happened yet here we're we're we're awaiting that no listen that this this Kansas City Star report this -- I'm sure Napoli was talked about forever yesterday -- just out right now. Is unbelievable I mean this is an unbelievable -- I would start with that -- I like I think Kirk maybe on the so yup that's -- good nose for news because I mean when I. Of this this morning ideas. I mean I I hopefully you know Troy Brown still -- pass judgment on -- but we found out. More details of just what now this monster did and -- What -- -- his trip to. Arrow -- I really do what is player and it accused a great job as an analyst but I think he. Fell short yesterday. Hello short now I'm I'm I'm what do you think he's excellent analyst and he innings. Come along I mean he's Thabeet like him for -- and often right where I want to ask. I mean he Stoops like Falk says it's not just just the -- I want -- right I mean I -- -- I can't figure it's a -- I remember what -- start when -- wrestler formerly played it yet obvious. Excellent very excellent I look forward east appointment listening and viewing after game capsule or he says things. You know -- -- limit times he criticizes players as you know he's he's he's really good -- was perhaps no filter which is perhaps why yesterday wasn't such stark contrast. To. Come to expect it which I don't get me why do you need that filter which he doesn't happen anymore when he analysts games. What does he put that up is analyzing I don't know murder. I don't understand this idea that you don't wanna pass judge pass judgment on other people's mean it wasn't agree with them completely but -- was like. Talking about those guys in the morning called him a murderer. What else to call blow from -- -- ten and then I heard you know on the big show they said they don't -- demonized. Like I hurt. That's exactly what I think it was Michael who said. He doesn't want to demonize. Belcher. Demonized. What would that -- in a civilized society. If you can't demonize. A guy who committed cold blooded murder. You lost your way and you have lost your way if you can't quote pass judgment. On a guy who committed right murder. I was I was a -- job as a town yesterday -- here you guys probably in on this mean the one guy nationally who you never give credit to economics on Jack -- I'd stepped up big time and called him when -- listening watching you know we've done watching -- against -- I was wait for that saying who's to Schenectady whose students a year. And stop put this nonsense about not paths and we don't know all the facts is that that's the and to do it -- said it. Once he said it fifty times I'm not gonna be the guy to pass judgment. Because we don't know the facts well we don't know all the facts we're gonna go a lot more facts going forward including this. Remarkable report by Christine vendetta on the Kansas City Star -- we don't. All the facts. I agree the fact about one worse which. Facts mean there's things that I'd like to know and we're learning more today he'll learn much more. For everybody for you me and Troy and everybody will learn much more today. What facts are we waiting for what facts. -- agree there are things we don't know sure what what is -- Relevant facts that you waiting for before you quote unquote past judge and what -- could you hear that would make you back off of your demonization. Of this guy. I guess she thought -- -- -- -- -- them PPI WUS. As we were Tanya has that I was you'll hear it and we we have we have the most remarkable caller we have ever had to the auto. Who said she. Started that she basically she provoked him. Cassandra -- vote Belcher. And and shares the blame -- beyond that was a call to us Steve from Maine play it later I understand when you feel like. It's a little confusing and you wanna know more but what exactly do you wanna know that you that before you pass judgment and this is always to me not slick. It's that the notion that the Christian thing not to pass judgment. Because the Bible does say judged not that you'd be -- does that mean murder. Does that play number. I mean. That if I mean that's so in other words if you're on a jury. And it was a murder on the stay. On trial you'd say no I'm a Christian. The Bible says not to judge so I'm not gonna judge him. It is you know. This all big picture here but. Civilized society requires you to -- as you have to pass judgment if you don't pass judgment you have chaos you have lawlessness. Ideally -- this guy committed cold blooded murder and you wanna. Withhold judgment or maybe never. A judge that guy because. -- and up -- lord is insane. It's not wrong it's in saint.

Partied Belcher by the way partied with another woman. According to Sports Illustrated some in some of the other great. -- surged on here. But. This is not put go lie to the idea that no one saw this coming correct. We find though. Is it in critic Chris teams or in the it is -- -- In this piece the team was providing counsel. They saw a problem here -- and you got to find -- more in the coming days. That's what generally happens that's why it was hazardous say -- -- everybody they say. It NC come and I certainly don't think that he's gonna killer. Important what you know a couple things that they got problem issues here. He's a very temperamental explosive and he loves his guns coming it ain't it. It doesn't add up to murderer in most cases but. I think it is I I think -- -- teammates friends family members say hey. We never saw this common are. Are I mean. Being a little dissension well they. Probably didn't see this coming but I think most people who were close to him certainly Cornell and pioli and the Kansas City Chiefs were providing this counseling there were serious issues right. Because how how serious does -- have to get. Great team to get involved to help couple. Fairly serious I would it's a stroke is every marriage has you know issues to work about maybe go to counseling and the team ever knows about right in the private and a lot of players still are explosive and emotional and a lot of players like their guns in fact they still do -- the story. A New York Daily News has a story with a -- the teammates and sales got guns and keeping them and -- and one woman I think you know. -- everyone should have won. One of his teammates said. Bob Costas turn this into. -- national debate -- -- gun control issue. Of course you know the guts to do it himself he would lay off on Jason whitlock. -- the guts to say you know repeal the Second Amendment like Jason whitlock does he just that is typical man BP MB Bob Costas in our. I'm older than now holier than -- and -- above the fray here but he did get. The debate go -- and I guess it is a debate. In a relevant to this story but the guns -- legal programs registered. I believe so far we far as we know. His guns discovered the murder weapon yes correct there was all the guns out of the house legally -- yes he has and he loved them he loves guns but. It doesn't seem like it was a complete shock to everybody family friends teammates coaches. -- again it's a shock murder is always going to be shocked this kind of reaction to shock but the guy was a ticking time bomb going back -- you made by the way another. Disingenuous. Characterization of the I think would be from his coach. Cosgrove of their -- that the models at a model citizens he will not not not necessarily the case now that we learn more. And it said the -- to New York papers -- on a post daily news news day because he's from Long Island. You know the national SI would get that SI story about him -- Passing out but it passed out in some -- apartment and in the cops found him sleeping in his Bentley. And let him drive home.
