If Jade wouldn't have done this, where would the story be at today? It would have been Jonathan Parker's story being released, Howe and Farty and others crying over it and Robert T. Green would still be credible.

All of that is different now because some random twitter account decided to do what none of the Iowa beat writers had the stomach for.

It's amazing that for a few weeks, these beat guys were all super seriously nodding and keeping their mouths shut to avoid being called racially insensitive, and then a random Twitter account blows this up over night, the guy gets pressured into a radio interview, and then self-destructs live on air.

This is another lesson that doing the actual right thing and not the perceived "right" thing always wins out.

Any player that went through or was planning to go through this guy could come out with an extremely scathing accusation and there will be 0 acceptance of it because of what Jade and that interview just did to this man and players.

When this whole thing started you knew there were going to be some guys come out with ridiculous accusations, I’m just not sure eating a medium rare steak instead of well done was one I was prepared for.

Kakert has grown on me the last few years, tbh. He's pretty good on his pod and on the radio, he seems to be a genuinely good person.
My hate only comes from being banned from HROT 8 years for making a Zach Johnson joke.

I was a real dipshit.
