that was team president bruce allen speaking on monday. in a statement he appears to use the name curt not kirk multiple time cousins said he's not upset than sort of thing has happened since grade school. a team spokesperson said it sounded like curt and not kirk because of allen's accent. >> as long as you can spell it right. >> on the check. >>> 6:18 right now. sheena is back with us this morning. just that sort of ugly, nasty, angry heat. >> it's not that bad. >> how bad does it have to get? >> when it feels around 105 i guess you can call it nasty. you're in the water it doesn't feel so bad. it's all relative. depends on what you're doing, right? if you're in your car with the ac on it's not that bad when you look through a window. for your weather outlook today you want the air on. the good news the commute does look dry. the bad us? we don't have much rain relief with cooling down those temperatures. if you're heading to the pool, going to be a nice day. have the sunscreen uv index is high. exercise either right now or indoors later

market value and probably unacceptably low but fair starting point to negotiations in early may as bruce allen told reporters a couple days ago for 22 1/2 million a year guaranteed $53 million. for cousins the market is closer to $75 million in guarantees that means essentially they guarantee first three years of deal rather than first years when this coming season is one of of the two years and already guaranteed. it didn't make sense more him to gets a deal done. he believes this i think it's true. that he is okay with playing on this one-year deal and still thinks he two-month exclusive negotiating window season's end. it's hard to believe but i do think there's still a possibility it could happen. >> how much upheaval factored into his decision or did it at all. >> great question and answer is absolutely and drama dramatically. no doubt in my mind. i pressed him why the time is not right for a deal. he took the high road. he was not willing to go into details what is right for him with relationship with the redskins now. it's clear to me a few things. one the firing of mcclue land and two

. >> what was your take on the statement that bruce allen made about not getting a deal done with you yesterday? >> i understand where he and the organization are coming from. in this position you have to do that. you have to be clear with where the offer was and the fact that they did their part. great starting point. great to get the ball rolling and get the conversation going. i think it was a fair offer. i appreciate his approach. he communicated with me they were going to need to let the story be known where they were coming from. i totally understand that. that is where i say when the communication was positive and we are on the same page. i if i am getting tagged a third time that meant the season went really well and that is probably a beautiful thing. in a sense maybe we all want that scenario because of what it would mean for the season up ahead. >> he is right. but there could be a lot of other offers. alison: it 5 i seems a little division functional but it's working. >> beverages been ad in a local c rescuing a seal pup winning the web they were fishing and the pup got ca

the team president, bruce allen. he had some select media inside the building. he read a statement right at 4:00 p.m. when that deadline came and went. and mr. alan said this, they did offer kurt cousins a contract in may, early may. in that statement, we made kirk that offer, that included the highest fully guaranteed amount upon signing for a quarterback in history. guaranteed a total of 72 million. the deal would have made him at least the second highest paid player by average. despite repeated attempts. alan said they did not receive any year kirk has made it clear he prefers to play on year to year basis. we would have like to work long-term contract. the most fascinating, he's not receiving an offer from this statement, did not bode well or hope of a deal for being done next off season. what we know for sure is that the redskins quarterback playing under that tag, under center this season, and that he's making $24 million, which is not too shabby. now, playing under the tag last season, kirk cousins did not seem to distract him at all, he set franchise rec

bruce allen says that they made him an offer in may and they met face to face over the weekend.eam offered him 53 million guaranteed or 7 million in the event of injuriesry. that would have made him the second most fully guaranteed money to quarterback behind green bay packers aaron rogers that has 5 >> here's what bruce allen team president had to say about the negotiations. >> kurt made it clear to me that he performs to play on year to year basis. in all of our discusses he feels comfortable doing that. while we would have liked to work out a long-term contract we respect and accept his decision. >>> now, what this means is that the two sides must now wait until after the season to negotiate a long term deal. cousins will make close to 24 million. he's 28, starter 3 years and 4917 yards passing and that's in last two seasons and red kins they don't win playoff games so that's not new. that's not on cousins. >> did he call him kurt. >> numerous times. >> between 6 and 8 times. that's the other t he has been on your team a while now his name is kirk and you're team president an

here's what the team president bruce allen had to say about the negotiations. >> kirk has made it clearrs to play on a year to year basis in all our discussions he feels comfortable doing that. while we would like to have worked out a long-term crack, we respect and accept his decision. >> the two sides now must wait until after the season to negotiate a long-term deal. as for this year, cousins is -- we just said he'll make close to 24 million. he's 28 years old he went to michigan state. this his third full year as starteror he said franchise -- set franchise records with 4,166 yards and 24,917 yards over the last two seasons. but they haven't won a play off game. but nobody else has either. it looks like the rotating cast of quarterbacks could continue at the end of the year because or the end of the season because he could leave and probably odds on favorite social security that he's going toned up with the 49ers because that's where his former offense coordinator is. >> is there someone else in the landscape that the team cease as their future. if this guy is doing good who else th

ooh got a very good working relationship not only with schneider but with team president bruce allenything at this point. remember, that while the team did have a disappointing 17th week an loss to get into the playoffs last year, they played a game and the final week of the season to get to the pest season a year after they made the playoffs and got to around one game. they hadn't been to the playoffs in consecutive years since way back before 2,000 handful of years after joe gibbs was winning super bowls when they had back to back winning seasons which they've done right now for the first time since then. so jay headed in the right direction. i don't think he's in trouble at all. but you're right, this has been that bugaboo season for redskins coaches over the years. >> grant, got to go. jordan reid will he play during training camp or out for awhile? >> i think he'll play during camp but it's going to be a few days obviously a surprise member of the pup list, but keep an eye on that. >> it's jordan reid s a surprise? >> it's -- it's a surprise because nobody knew it was happening.

allen ginsberg's howl, dish was a huge influence. lenny bruce, who is the person who transformed the medium of comedy, standup comedy from merely gags in the vaudeville style to very satiric, acerbic but meaningful style of analysis of social problems. lenny bruce is the one who made comedy politically and socially relevant. lenny bruce was an equal opportunity offender. he went against both liberal and conservative chivalrous and the first thinker really had an enormous impact on me in that lesson was oscar wilde by chance in a secondhand bookstore in syracuse, i stumbled on a copy of the book, it was a british book called the grams of oscarwilde and it is still available , it's the dover addition , they couldn't believe no one in the us recognize the word program so if they call it now the wit and humor of oscar wilde but he has many of his wonderful one-liners from his plays and writings, from his dinner table conversations in london , organized by topic. the nature of men and women, etc. it's just this skating uncompromising quality of oscar
