My only question about the Rudolph incident: If he did indeed drop a racial slur, why didn't Myles tell me directly after the game when I asked him? Not saying it did or didn't happen. I'm just curious as to why he waited a week to explain what caused him to react the way he did.

One of the many cool parts of my job is getting to meet people I grew up admiring. I’ll never forget the feeling that came when I received this text during last year’s Backyard Brawl. It was always a pleasure to be a guest of the God Father. RIP, Stan. Loved the show ❤️
