RUSH: We have the Hutch on the phone from Seattle. Ken Hutcherson, former linebacker, Dallas Cowboys, Seattle Seahawks. Hutch, welcome to the program.
 THE HUTCH: Hey, my man. I am so mad, I am doing back flips up here in Seattle. What in the world is going on in the United States? I mean, the whole issue, Rush -- whether you like it or not -- is they have done you wrong. And this is intolerance, it's prejudice, and if America don't wake up, it is going to happen to them. I am so mad, man, I cannot even -- and I'm a man of the cloth, Rush! I'm not supposed to get this upset. It is time for all of us... You know, why don't they talk to some African-Americans that know you?
RUSH: Oh, that would destroy the narrative. That would destroy the template.
THE HUTCH: Oh, forget that. You know, and talk to some African-Americans know that the poverty pimps, Sharpton and Jackson, they're nothing but slave sliders and pushers to get their way. And you're going to let them have a voice on all the stuff that they've done? Jesse Jackson was telling Bush to, "Stay out of the bushes." He was the one in the bushes having illegitimate kids! How in the world can the NFL -- and I'm going to tell you something else, brother, straight from me, who played football. Those African-American brothers who talk about they wouldn't play? That is the biggest lie on this side of the universe. Not only would their wives get on them and make 'em go -- and their girlfriends, and their moms; they would beat 'em all the way to the 50 yard line and tell them, "You better get out there and get that game check." And why don't they talk to the hundreds of African-American players that would be excited about you owning a team? |

RUSH: Well, they want to present the idea that there are none, and that's what they've done. Hutch, hang on. I gotta take a little break here. Well, I'll need to tell you what the Hutch is to this program if you're new and I'll do that when we come back.
BREAK TRANSCRIPT
 RUSH: Hey, Hutch. I've got 15 seconds here before I have to do the top of the hour break. Can you hang on through the break? I'll get right back to you at the top of the next hour?
THE HUTCH: I have to go ahead and do a commercial, Rush. I will call in later on in the week or so.
RUSH: All right. Thanks much. In the meantime, thank you very much. I know you're busy.
THE HUTCH: We can't take this land down, bro. You shouldn't take it.
RUSH: We don't intend to. I'll tell everybody who he is when we get back.

RUSH: I hope you heard the last call we had in the previous hour from Ken Hutcherson. He's a dear friend of mine. He's a former player in the National Football League, played back in the Too Tall Jones, Harvey "Too Mean" Martin era with the Cowboys and finished his career in Seattle with the Seahawks, which is where he lives now. He has been a pastor at the Antioch Bible Church for 25 years. I met Ken Hutcherson on a fishing trip, of all places. Howard Slusher, who worked for Nike at the time and had been a sports agent and Paul Westphal, former NBA player and coach, and Hutcherson were going to go up there to Vancouver Island and fish for salmon.
Slusher had won this at some charity event rally or auction. So he called me and asked if I wanted to go. I literally have no interest in fishing, but I decided to go to see what it was like and we had a great time and the Hutch was my roommate. We had a two bedroom cabin at this place. We were there three or four days and the last day we played golf and I really, really got to know him well and I didn't catch any fish but I caught the Hutch as a friend.
I did get close to catching a salmon but the tour guide goofed up turning the boat for us to reel it in and a stupid sea lion came along, let us do the work of hooking the salmon and the sea lion came along and one bite the salmon's gone. I turned to Hutch and said, "Anybody want to talk to me about animal rights here?" At any rate, the Hutch has a practice every year during the NFL playoffs and prior to the Super Bowl, the Hutch calls here on a Friday and we analyze and talk about those games. It's a fun discussion, he's still very knowledgeable about the game, and he's unabashed. He will say whatever he says and he's just become a very, very dear friend. He just celebrated the 25th anniversary at his church. And he called to express his shock and outrage over what all has gone on in the story here in the National Football League.
