- 0:40Speaker 1: To beat in Jacksonville. I'm not gonna lie. I'm a
- 0:43Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboy fan.
- 0:44Speaker 2: Y'all know that, but I was, uh, I was hoping
- 0:46Speaker 2: Jacksonville pulled it off this weekend because y'all know little
- 0:49Speaker 2: Duball my dog, and love love all my folks in Jacksonville.
- 0:52Speaker 2: And the reality is, I'm not no hater unless your
- 0:55Speaker 2: team is in the NFC East. I realized that about
- 0:57Speaker 2: myself a long time ago. If it can't be my
- 1:00Speaker 2: Dallas Cowboys, I wish happiness and much success for every
- 1:03Speaker 2: team in the NFL, except for the Redskins or Commanders,
- 1:07Speaker 2: whatever you want to call them, the giants in the
- 1:09Speaker 2: Philadelphia Eagles. Okay, So I'm watching the Jaguars game hoping
- 1:13Speaker 2: they could pull it out, but at last they didn't.
- 1:15Speaker 2: They lost to the Buffalo Bills twenty seven, twenty four
- 1:17Speaker 2: and a local Jacksonville News reporter named Lynn Jones Turpin
- 1:21Speaker 2: had a chance to make a comment during Jaguars head
- 1:24Speaker 2: coaches Liam Cohen's No Liam Liam Cohen's press conference, and
- 1:29Speaker 2: she said.
- 1:29Speaker 3: This tell you congratulations on your success, young man. You
- 1:33Speaker 3: hold your head up, all right. You guys have had
- 1:35Speaker 3: a most magnificent season. He did a great job out
- 1:38Speaker 3: there today. So you just hold your head up. Okay,
- 1:41Speaker 3: ladies and gentlemen, duvall you don't want all right?
- 1:44Speaker 1: You keep it going. We got another season.
- 1:45Speaker 2: Okay.
- 1:45Speaker 3: I appreciate take care of much continued success to you
- 1:48Speaker 3: and the entire team.
- 1:49Speaker 1: Thank you, man.
- 1:50Speaker 2: Not does anybody find a problem with what she said? No, No,
- 1:52Speaker 2: that didn't bother me at all. Why because she's a
- 1:54Speaker 2: local Jacksonville News reporter. So clearly she's a fan of
- 1:57Speaker 2: the Jaguars. If that's how she wants to spend her
- 1:59Speaker 2: time with the coach, I don't care. So when I
- 2:01Speaker 2: saw the headline NFL journalist remarks to Jaguars coach after
- 2:05Speaker 2: playoff lost Sparks debate on social media, I said to myself,
- 2:10Speaker 2: y'all really don't have anything better to do. Okay, But
- 2:12Speaker 2: then I saw Matt Barnes from the All the Smoke
- 2:14Speaker 2: podcasts Luther Matt Barnes, and I saw Pat McAfee from
- 2:16Speaker 2: the Pat McAfee show given those journalists who had something
- 2:19Speaker 2: negative to say about Lynn Jones turping some smoke, and
- 2:22Speaker 2: I said, oh, this is a real thing.
- 2:23Speaker 1: Y'all really was upset.
- 2:25Speaker 2: You had some reporters arguing that if you're covering the game,
- 2:28Speaker 2: you only have limited time with these coaches and players,
- 2:31Speaker 2: so I guess they want them to ask.
- 2:32Speaker 1: Questions of substance.
- 2:34Speaker 2: You had other reporters saying journalists shouldn't showcase their fandom
- 2:37Speaker 2: too much, saying the reporter fan line had been crossed
- 2:40Speaker 2: too many times before.
- 2:42Speaker 1: Let me read some of these tweets.
- 2:44Speaker 2: Chick Hernandez mister Chick Sports on Twitter said, not sure
- 2:47Speaker 2: how that credential was given out to Sean Reid on
- 2:50Speaker 2: Twitter said, I promised.
- 2:51Speaker 1: The last thing we need is more reporters acting like fans.
- 2:54Speaker 2: Brooke Pryor said, Look, it's a kind sentiment, but it's
- 2:57Speaker 2: not the job of a reporter to console a coach
- 3:00Speaker 2: and a postgame press conference. Presses are to ask questions
- 3:03Speaker 2: to gain a better understanding of what happened. They lost,
- 3:07Speaker 2: we know what happens, or figure out what's next and
- 3:10Speaker 2: do it in a limited amount of time. Michael Eves said, One,
- 3:13Speaker 2: this is inappropriate for this particular working environment. I disagree. Two,
- 3:17Speaker 2: there's nothing quite as comforting as encouraging words from an
- 3:20Speaker 2: older black woman. Three both things can be true at
- 3:23Speaker 2: the same time. Okay, I've read enough. Listen, everybody shut
- 3:28Speaker 2: the f UFB. Okay, like, go touch grass, all right,
- 3:31Speaker 2: go to the Jaguars stadium and touch grass. I don't
- 3:34Speaker 2: even know if they got all official turf for real grass.
- 3:35Speaker 1: And now I'm not, you.
- 3:36Speaker 2: Know, one of these type reporters. I'm not one of
- 3:38Speaker 2: these type journalists. So I don't know what written and
- 3:40Speaker 2: unwritten rules are. I don't know what the etiquette is.
- 3:43Speaker 2: But Lynn Jones Turpin works for the Jacksonville Free Press.
- 3:46Speaker 2: She's a fan of the Jacksonville Jaguars. If she wants
- 3:49Speaker 2: to big up the coach for the season, they had,
- 3:51Speaker 2: salute to her. Okay, Jacksonville Jaguars. The Jaguars were four
- 3:55Speaker 2: and thirteen last year, all right, They had the number
- 3:58Speaker 2: three pick in the draft and they grab Travis. This year,
- 4:01Speaker 2: they flipped it and reversed it and finished thirteen and
- 4:04Speaker 2: four and won the AFC South.
- 4:06Speaker 1: Yeah, big up to them.
- 4:07Speaker 2: And only a local Jacksonville News reporter could.
- 4:10Speaker 1: Have done that.
- 4:11Speaker 2: That shouldn't have bothered anyone, Okay, not one solitary soul.
- 4:16Speaker 2: The fact that people criticize this, it says more about
- 4:19Speaker 2: them than it does Lynn Jones Turping. I don't even
- 4:21Speaker 2: understand the logic of journalists turning into fans being frowned
- 4:25Speaker 2: upon by the media industry.
- 4:27Speaker 1: There is no person more honest than a sports fan. Okay.
- 4:30Speaker 2: Sports fans give praise to their teams when they earn it,
- 4:34Speaker 2: and give criticism to their teams when they deserve it.
- 4:36Speaker 1: All right, It's really that simple.
- 4:38Speaker 2: In fact, I want more journalists that are actual fans
- 4:41Speaker 2: of the game covering the sport. Okay, a lot of
- 4:43Speaker 2: these journalists in sports, they are trying to be the start.
- 4:46Speaker 1: They think it's about them. No, it's about the game. Okay.
- 4:49Speaker 2: So to see a local news reporter from Jacksonville give
- 4:51Speaker 2: some words of encouragement to a coach, to see her
- 4:54Speaker 2: have a human moment with a coach who gave them
- 4:57Speaker 2: a winning season after a losing one, good for her. Now,
- 5:00Speaker 2: let Jones Turpin explain why she chose to do what
- 5:03Speaker 2: she did. Let's go to news for Jacksonville to listen.
- 5:05Speaker 3: So coach came out and he was his emotions, he
- 5:09Speaker 3: was totally immersed his feelings, he had tears, he bit
- 5:15Speaker 3: his lip. And the issue is the question not necessarily
- 5:20Speaker 3: a question. In the fourth quarter and the fourth down
- 5:22Speaker 3: and the punt came through, well my question was keep
- 5:25Speaker 3: your head up, young man.
- 5:26Speaker 4: So Lenn I do want to bring out because this
- 5:29Speaker 4: also has a lot of mixed emotions and how people
- 5:31Speaker 4: are responding to this. So Adam Schefner wrote, this is
- 5:34Speaker 4: an awesome post game exchange between a reporter and Jack's
- 5:38Speaker 4: head coach.
- 5:38Speaker 1: But then Mark Long, who's.
- 5:40Speaker 4: An AP reporter, kind of went in on this and
- 5:42Speaker 4: he said nothing awesome about this, called you fake media,
- 5:45Speaker 4: said that you shouldn't even have been up there asking
- 5:48Speaker 4: those kind of questions. So when you are that, how
- 5:51Speaker 4: did that make you feel?
- 5:52Speaker 3: I really I don't take no fence to it. Listen,
- 5:56Speaker 3: I've been in this business, barn in twenty five years.
- 5:58Speaker 3: I've been in viewed from Barack Obama to Terry Bradshaw too. Well,
- 6:02Speaker 3: what's my guy name, Tiger Wood, so he can say
- 6:04Speaker 3: whatever you're worn about fake news. I have a member
- 6:07Speaker 3: of the Black Press n NPA, the National Newspaper Association
- 6:12Speaker 3: that's been around more than one hundred years. I'm the
- 6:15Speaker 3: associate editor of the Jacksonville Free Press, one of the
- 6:17Speaker 3: more than two hundred and thirty African American newspapers still
- 6:20Speaker 3: printing in this country today. In Jacksonville, you have the
- 6:23Speaker 3: Florida Star since nineteen fifty five. We've been around since
- 6:26Speaker 3: nineteen eighty six. In Philadelphia, the Tribune, The Philly Tribune
- 6:30Speaker 3: has been printing since eighteen eighty four. We are loud.
- 6:34Speaker 3: The Michigan Chronicle has been printed since nineteen thirty five.
- 6:37Speaker 3: So support the Black Press so he can call me fake.
- 6:39Speaker 3: Oh you want too, honey, I've been doing this a lot.
- 6:41Speaker 1: People know me, preacher.
- 6:44Speaker 2: I love when people use their opportunity to teach man
- 6:47Speaker 2: dropping the clues.
- 6:47Speaker 1: Boonds for Lynn Jones turnment. You know how?
- 6:50Speaker 2: You know she made the right decision because look at
- 6:51Speaker 2: all the attention she's getting. All right, God has lifted
- 6:54Speaker 2: her name on a high, and she chose her moment
- 6:57Speaker 2: to lift up to black free press. Oh uh, trople
- 7:01Speaker 2: the clues bond for her again.
- 7:02Speaker 1: All right.
- 7:03Speaker 2: She decided to have a human moment in a field
- 7:05Speaker 2: where humanity clearly doesn't exist anymore.
- 7:08Speaker 1: And I hope this.
- 7:08Speaker 2: Leads to a lot more opportunities for her and a
- 7:10Speaker 2: lot more access for Lynn Jones turfing Jacksonville Jaguars. Y'all
- 7:14Speaker 2: should give her season tickets, some type of all access
- 7:17Speaker 2: press credentials for life.
- 7:18Speaker 1: I don't know, y'all figure it out.
- 7:20Speaker 2: In the meantime, please give all these soul called journalists
- 7:23Speaker 2: and reporters who had something negative to say about Lynn
- 7:25Speaker 2: Jones turfing the sweet sounds to the Hamiltons.
- 7:27Speaker 1: Oh no, you are the doge.
