Let's start off with something that uh I haven't seen happen as of yet, and I'm very curious your thoughts on this one, which was yesterday's uh Steelers Lions game and DK Metcalf of the Steelers goes over to an individual and it looked like he took a swipe at him. This is what I don't understand, Adam. Which is, uh, they, they said that it was because he was not assessed a penalty, the NFL could do nothing about that. But if DK Metcalf was carrying a gun and shot another player on the field, I don't think they would allow him to play in the second half of that game, and I know I'm being facetious. Here, it's a little bit of apples and oranges, but you see where I'm going with this year. I don't understand how, and, and again, I think Metcalf, he'll be OK and he'll get to play in the NFL again and he'll play later this year or next year, and fine, we all make mistakes. I get it. But how, how did they not act on that one? I can't understand it. Yeah, I, I thought he would be disqualified, but let me explain what's gonna happen from now on. This is what my, in, in talking to the league office in situations like this. What they do is they review the video, OK? It's not one size fits all. They wanna gather the information, so they're gonna look at the TV copy. OK. Um, and then what they do is they find out from the people locally, what, what, what, what precipitated this, was there anything, any history with the player? Is there any history with this this fan, by the way, who's a Lions fan? It's ever happened before? What did he say? Cause for DK Metcalf to feel that way, they had a swipe at the guy, did he say something that was way over the line that you, you need, you need to know that stuff before you act. I know the way the NFL rules on these things. They don't, they don't just say, OK, that's it, we're not gonna look at it, they're gonna take all the information in before they make a decision. Uh, yeah, I, but I will tell you in real time. When they showed what happened during the game, I was like, wow, I'm surprised he wasn't thrown out, there must, what's going on here? Uh, but you'd mentioned that there was no flag thrown, so that was, that's part of it, but
