00:00But John Harbaugh, we joked about it for years.
00:02Harbaugh would rather give you his routing number to his checking account
00:05than talk about injury updates.
00:08But because, oh, Lamar's cool, he'll miss this game, he'll be ready to go,
00:12and then he doesn't play again for the rest of the season.
00:14And we just talked about it with the kicking fiasco.
00:18Everything else this guy's got going on as a rookie head coach,
00:21now you've got to get up there and be house and talk about medical issues.
00:25But why the statement?
00:26I know it's closed to the media today, Vinny,
00:29but I don't know.
00:30Does it bring any more clarity or does it make it even more vague
00:34or, as Dan Conley would say, nebulous than it was before?
00:38Sounds like that reading that, sounds like he had the surgery.
00:44Without saying that he had the surgery.
00:47And if I'm a betting man, Bob, Lamar had to okay that statement.
00:53I'm sure he gave the okay on that statement.
00:56You mentioned the Harbaugh being tight-lipped in the past.
01:00I think what we saw on Monday with Minter is taking it to a whole new level.
01:03You know, I said it earlier this week, you don't want to give away the timeline.
01:06I understand that because you can put your foot in your mouth that way.
01:09It comes back to bite you.
01:11But to not even confirm that it was, in fact, a dislocated broken thumb when it was followed up.
01:17And it's the little stuff like that, that it just, they were total locked down.
01:21I'm not saying anything.
01:22It just makes it look a little more shady than it needs to be.
01:26When maybe there isn't anything shady about it, but you're making it look weird.
01:29You're making it look weird.
