Last September, Kentucky linebacker Kash Daniel made headlines for twisting and yanking on the ankle of Florida quarterback Kyle Trask after a play. Today, for the first time, Kash steps into enemy territory to face a jury of Gator fans (host Dustin Smith and In All Kinds Of Weather founder Neil Shulman) and take the heat for that infamous play. We did not hold back.

Some of the tough questions include “what were you thinking?”, “why would you not apologize immediately after realizing what you’d done?” and “how can we know you’re a different person than the one we saw trying to hurt our quarterback?” We also talk about mental health, his private apology to Trask and more in a conversation that ultimately introduced us to a whole new side of Daniel we never knew existed.

Coming from people who were as angry as anybody for that play, we understand that not everybody is going to be willing to forgive Daniel right away. If you do, great. If you don’t, that’s totally understandable too. But it is our hope that at the very least, everybody is willing to listen to what he has to say, and give him a chance.
