Zolak and Bertrand are live from Radio Row in Phoenix ahead of Super Bowl LVII. Among the guests to sit down with Zo, Beetle and Hardy was former Patriots cornerback Malcolm Butler. He addressed his now infamous benching in Super Bowl LII against the Philadelphia Eagles

• Butler on his Super Bowl LII Benching

  “Like I always say, it was a coaching decision. But I really don’t know, man. I got a documentary coming out where I’m talking about all that I did with some of the guys in New England. And I got a book coming out also, so I ain’t gonna spill the beans out of them right now, but it’ll be something to look forward to.”

• “I just I don’t know why. I don’t know. It was a coaching decision. I did play though, I had one punt return rep.”

• Butler Addresses if he ever got an explanation from Belichick

  “No, he didn’t give me an explanation, but like, all the rumors that was going around, why I didn’t play, if I did something so bad, why did I come back?”
