Last week, Fox News' Gregg Jarrett appointed himself New York Mets paternity leave police. He adjudged player Daniel Murphy guilty for the crime of taking two days paternity leave instead of one.

On his Kilmeade & Friends radio show last week (April 4, 2014), host Brian Kilmeade admitted that Murphy was not a key player nor was he missing any World Series game. But still, "Coach" Jarrett somehow just "knew" that Murphy should have missed only one day of work.

Kilmeade played a clip from WFAN/CBS Sports Network host Craig Carton saying that assuming everything is OK, “24 hours, you stay there (with the mother), baby’s good, you have a good support system for the mom and the baby, you get your a** back to your team and you play baseball.”

“He’s absolutely right. This is ridiculous,” Jarrett announced.

Brian played a clip of Murphy saying, “We felt the best thing for our family was for me to try to stay for an extra day. …She was completely finished. I mean she was done. She had had surgery, and she was wiped. So having me there I think helped a lot and vice versa.”

Jarrett sneered, “This guy’s rich. He could have, like, 20 nannies taking care of his tired wife, and he’s got to take off two days? It’s absurd, it’s preposterous.”

You’d think Murphy took off the entire season the way this “family values” Foxy was behaving.
