00:00:00.180 --> 00:00:01.830
- Arian, give me a call.

2
00:00:01.830 --> 00:00:03.498
Want to know you're okay?

3
00:00:03.498 --> 00:00:04.331
(beep)

4
00:00:04.331 --> 00:00:06.960
Arian Foster says the NFL is rigged,

5
00:00:06.960 --> 00:00:09.981
I'm gonna watch the video
and see what he says.

6
00:00:09.981 --> 00:00:11.520
- That's what practice was about,

7
00:00:11.520 --> 00:00:12.900
it was about practicing the script.

8
00:00:12.900 --> 00:00:14.070
Like this is what goes on

9
00:00:14.070 --> 00:00:16.320
and this is what we
have to do in order to-

10
00:00:16.320 --> 00:00:18.780
- And this referee's gonna miss this call.

11
00:00:18.780 --> 00:00:20.850
Yeah, because they hate you
and they love the Colts.

12
00:00:20.850 --> 00:00:24.183
- There's already been hundreds
of memes made about it.

13
00:00:25.341 --> 00:00:27.758
(soft music)

14
00:00:30.109 --> 00:00:32.460
Kudos to the NFL.

15
00:00:32.460 --> 00:00:33.660
Good work.

16
00:00:33.660 --> 00:00:35.550
Actually, hold on.

17
00:00:35.550 --> 00:00:38.160
I've seen NFL players act,

18
00:00:38.160 --> 00:00:40.380
one thing across the
board about NFL players

19
00:00:40.380 --> 00:00:43.920
and acting is that
they're terrible actors.

20
00:00:43.920 --> 00:00:45.690
- Frank was in the Army
and he's been enjoying

21
00:00:45.690 --> 00:00:48.510
that award-winning USAA service for like-

22
00:00:48.510 --> 00:00:49.343
- 10 years.

23
00:00:49.343 --> 00:00:50.520
- Anyway, he's in.

24
00:00:50.520 --> 00:00:53.864
- Hundreds of amazing writers,

25
00:00:53.864 --> 00:00:58.864
putting on the greatest show
on Earth in total secrecy.

26
00:00:59.310 --> 00:01:01.920
I'm afraid that Arian Foster has created

27
00:01:01.920 --> 00:01:05.310
an alternate reality
where he has rewritten

28
00:01:05.310 --> 00:01:06.570
a lot of his past.

29
00:01:06.570 --> 00:01:10.110
Maybe it's to deal with
how things changed.

30
00:01:10.110 --> 00:01:13.875
In 2012, Arian Foster announced
that he was going vegan

31
00:01:13.875 --> 00:01:18.030
and then his career began to decline.

32
00:01:18.030 --> 00:01:18.985
Things happened

33
00:01:18.985 --> 00:01:23.310
that Arian Foster probably
wishes happen differently.

34
00:01:23.310 --> 00:01:28.310
Is it a part of a script
to denounce veganism?

35
00:01:28.890 --> 00:01:32.790
If you eat a vegan lifestyle,
you're going to get injured

36
00:01:32.790 --> 00:01:37.790
and lose opportunities, lose
money, lose fame, eat steak.

37
00:01:40.050 --> 00:01:42.647
Brought to you by the
American Beef Association.

38
00:01:42.647 --> 00:01:44.010
(cow mooing)

39
00:01:44.010 --> 00:01:47.220
Yeah, I never thought
about Big beef and the NFL.

40
00:01:47.220 --> 00:01:48.840
That makes a lot of sense.

41
00:01:48.840 --> 00:01:50.400
Arian Foster has written a script

42
00:01:50.400 --> 00:01:55.110
for himself that has made
everything that happened, okay,

43
00:01:55.110 --> 00:01:57.720
because it was all fiction.

44
00:01:57.720 --> 00:01:59.820
So he's not taking responsibility

45
00:01:59.820 --> 00:02:03.000
for how things fell apart for him.

46
00:02:03.000 --> 00:02:04.350
That's sad.

47
00:02:04.350 --> 00:02:06.399
I'm sad for Arian Foster.

48
00:02:06.399 --> 00:02:09.274
♪ I don't feel ♪

49
00:02:09.274 --> 00:02:10.637
(soft music)

50
00:02:10.637 --> 00:02:11.470
(beep)

51
00:02:11.470 --> 00:02:12.453
Arian, give me a call.

52
00:02:13.530 --> 00:02:15.693
Thanks, and stick with Deadspin.
