What Really Happened to Joe Mixon?

Junior Walker and the All-Stars. It's a great song. Shotgun. Jonathan, you love this song, right? It's just, you know what, sometimes you've got to play a good song when you want to celebrate a player's return. You said you would retire your theory once Joe Mixing got signed.

I don't think so. Yes, you did. So, he was just on the practice squad, though, right? Is that official? He had to pass a medical as well. Yes, obviously all the pellets and the debris out of the gun shot are out of his foot. He didn't shotgun himself with the foot. I think he'd be working out of the NFL.

Come on now. Okay, so here's what we're going to do. If I got to call Softie, I got to call him. Okay. So he signs with the Seahawks. He's eventually going to be active, I would think. I mean, you don't bring Joe Mixing up next to some other practice. Judarian Price is hurt, and then I think they, I think they,

have Tank Biggsby who's hurt or something like that. Okay. So with that being said, Joe Mixon is going to meet the media. Yes. He needs to say what happened. I'm sorry. This is growing ass football. This is real life.

You cannot, and I'm calling you out, Cassaric, Nikki Cee. You cannot say, well, we can't this call him. Tank Biggsby Eagle, by the way. I got my birds mixed up, Eagle and Seahawks. Yeah, I got a bird for you right here. the number one bird. Okay. So they have to find, where have you been?

Where have you been? What's going on? Yeah. He's going to get asked. Is he going to answer? What does your gut tell you? My gut is he does not answer. It would have come out by now. What are you hiding?

I don't know. Maybe he got shot in the foot and he doesn't want criminal charges. Thank you. Finally took us two years for you to convince. Or maybe he got a botched surgery. Maybe he hurt himself in a motorcycle accident. Maybe he flipped a jet ski. There's a million things that happened.

I like shotgun. I got 999,999,000 of them. I already fed you croissants. All right. You've already won the bet. Yeah, but I wanted the Kutemann. They were sold out. I know.

That's bad. No, did we get one actually? I don't remember. You need to wait like 15 minutes for it. But that's not you know there. Matt went and got in the kitchen. Remember that, Jonathan? Excuse me, Miss.

He started putting fingers in chess. Where's my coffee? That was me that did that? Yeah. I was kind of grumpy. Flipping tables. I went D'Amico on him. Yeah.

What was that noise? I was going to ask the same thing. So Joe Mixon's foot is healed because the gunshot wound's been fully repaired. Stop. I mean, it was even in the mentions of, it's a longstanding rumor whose men's widespread. People talking about Joe Mixing getting signed. Yeah. It's a bit now

It is and I love it I'm not gonna ever Until he wants to tell us the truth If you don't want to tell the truth That we're gonna make stuff up But this and this Will this not make Nick Serra look bad If he comes out

He's and actually tells the truth And Nick Serra never Explain what happened Especially if it's worse Maybe Well I don't think it was a Texan's fault I think probably that Mixin and his representative said

Don't say anything I mean maybe he wasn't even ready We're into week four And just now is working out with people that we know of. So I don't think that, no. Like, Nick Casario should have done what? He was not under contract anymore.

Should have re-signed him? No, there's the grand, here's the grandiose macro view of this. No general manager has ever been more secretive about an injury than Joe, than Casario to Joe Mixon. I don't know what they have ever covered in my entire life. But he did say nothing irresponsible happens. Then tell us then. If it ain't irresponsible, then tell us. Why?

Because he's an NFL player And injuries are a huge part of it He wasn't playing He was off the team No no no no no no no no no no no he was still under contract He was away I make excuses He got hurt on a hike

Really? Yeah We got hurt on one of those lime scooters And didn't want to violate his contract Who knows What sounds more preposterous? You are me I like me better

What sounds more preposterous A person shooting themselves in the foot or person getting in a scooter accent? I'm going to say you sound more preposterous. That's what I'm going to say. Because it was a scooter accident. Oh, my God. Then tell the whole world.
