1 00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:03,520 Speaker 1: Hello. I'm Michael bar and this is the Bloomberg Business 2 00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:06,720 Speaker 1: of Sports podcast, where we explore the big money issues 3 00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:10,559 Speaker 1: in the world of sports.

I'm holding down before it here 6 00:00:17,680 --> 00:00:20,720 Speaker 1: at Bloomberg World Headquarters. Well, Scott and Devon sit at 7 00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:24,600 Speaker 1: home sipping on eggnog. But I managed to get Scott 8 00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:27,479 Speaker 1: to join us today from his lovely living room in 9 00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:30,319 Speaker 1: New Jersey. Scotty, how's it going. But see now you 10 00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:33,199 Speaker 1: said sipping on eggnog. Now you hurt my feelings. Bar 11 00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:36,680 Speaker 1: The only thing, pathetically that I've been sipping this week 12 00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:41,440 Speaker 1: is suit of fit whatever, whatever you had. I finally 13 00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:44,280 Speaker 1: take some time off and I come down with a 14 00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:47,199 Speaker 1: massive sinus infection. This is the first day I can 15 00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:49,720 Speaker 1: breathe through my nose in a week. See I feel bad. 16 00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:53,639 Speaker 1: Now I'm good. I want everybody feeling bad for Mick 17 00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:58,000 Speaker 1: do Man, but not as bad as some of the 18 00:00:58,120 --> 00:01:01,320 Speaker 1: NFL coaches. But I'm sure oh like, oh boy. And 19 00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:04,080 Speaker 1: we're gonna talk about that coming up a bit later. 20 00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:07,880 Speaker 1: But before we get started, some quick housekeeping. We're here today, 21 00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:10,600 Speaker 1: But the podcast will take the day off Wednesday for 22 00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:14,120 Speaker 1: New Year's Day. Then we're back on Thursday, bringing you 23 00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:19,240 Speaker 1: the Bloomberg Business of Sports Show every Monday, Wednesday and Thursday. Well, 24 00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:21,320 Speaker 1: let's get to some of the stories we're watching the 25 00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:24,920 Speaker 1: day in the world of sports business. Yes, a big, 26 00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:29,640 Speaker 1: big upset in the NFL yesterday, My goodness, the New 27 00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:35,600 Speaker 1: England Patriots lost to the Miami Dolphins. And there's word 28 00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:38,560 Speaker 1: that there's a guy who made a bet at William 29 00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:43,720 Speaker 1: Hill for over seventy four thousand dollars according to Darren Ravelle. 30 00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:48,240 Speaker 1: Uh and he put that on the straight up money 31 00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:51,840 Speaker 1: line for the Patriots to win. Do you understand those bets? 32 00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:55,000 Speaker 1: I mean, it's such little return. It can't be the 33 00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:58,400 Speaker 1: way that any programmler would tell you to go. Now Here, 34 00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:01,560 Speaker 1: here's the reason why he made this. According to what 35 00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:04,600 Speaker 1: he's thinking, or what some supporters are saying. They're saying, 36 00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:07,360 Speaker 1: where else in three hours can you get over six 37 00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:11,839 Speaker 1: return on your investment? And you're thinking it's a sure thing, Well, 38 00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:14,880 Speaker 1: when you gamble, there's no such thing as a sure thing. Yeah, 39 00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:16,799 Speaker 1: that's what I would tell them. That's why they call 40 00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:19,959 Speaker 1: it gambling. Just the risk for the return on that wage. 41 00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:24,320 Speaker 1: It doesn't make any sense. But you and I will 42 00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:28,840 Speaker 1: both agree we understand New England Patriots at home. It's 43 00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:30,880 Speaker 1: not like they were playing for nothing. They were playing 44 00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:33,880 Speaker 1: for a bye week, which every NFL player covets for sure. 45 00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:36,600 Speaker 1: Playing against the Dolphins, let's just say, have not had 46 00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:39,200 Speaker 1: the greatest season. A little bit better lately, but not 47 00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:42,280 Speaker 1: the greatest season in NFL history. You would think that 48 00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:44,160 Speaker 1: Tom Brady and the boys would figure out a way 49 00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:47,680 Speaker 1: to win this one. However, they did not. So guess what, 50 00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:53,520 Speaker 1: they get to play a wild card game. Good for CBS, right, 51 00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:57,200 Speaker 1: they get to show the Patriots prime time on Saturday. 52 00:02:57,240 --> 00:03:00,320 Speaker 1: Hello Titans, Patriots. They'll take it this as an happened 53 00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:03,440 Speaker 1: in a long time where the Patriots are actually in 54 00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:07,680 Speaker 1: that spot where they're playing without a buy. That's happened 55 00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:10,239 Speaker 1: in what almost ten years, a dozen years. You know, 56 00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:13,000 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go back to my youth when the Islanders 57 00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:16,720 Speaker 1: won their four Stanley Cups. Every year. You can see 58 00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:18,919 Speaker 1: when you get towards the end of these things, every 59 00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:21,119 Speaker 1: year gets a little bit harder, like, oh it took 60 00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:24,640 Speaker 1: more games, they didn't win quite as many. And that's 61 00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:27,040 Speaker 1: what I think. What I'm seeing with the Patriots here 62 00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:29,639 Speaker 1: that this was a clear indication that all to talk 63 00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:32,880 Speaker 1: about this team isn't as talented as the past. Seems 64 00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:35,240 Speaker 1: to be true, because the Patriots of old would not 65 00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:39,640 Speaker 1: have lost this game. And it is a very big 66 00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:43,560 Speaker 1: deal in the NFL to have a week off, a 67 00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:47,560 Speaker 1: bye week, versus having to play and then go on 68 00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:51,680 Speaker 1: the road and play some pretty darn good clubs, probably 69 00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:57,200 Speaker 1: Kansas City Baltimore. That is not an easy road to 70 00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:01,040 Speaker 1: a repeat Super Bowl. Speaking of having a bye week, 71 00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:04,559 Speaker 1: you know who else has a bye week now, San Francisco. 72 00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:08,520 Speaker 1: And I know that because my alarm clock went off 73 00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:11,680 Speaker 1: at eleven thirty pm, because I have to get up 74 00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:15,640 Speaker 1: to hit the road at eleven thirty pm, And fifteen 75 00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:21,080 Speaker 1: seconds later, my wife Donning uh Ronnie lot Jersey comes 76 00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:23,680 Speaker 1: in screaming. It's like, oh, we won, we won, we won. 77 00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:25,880 Speaker 1: And of course the Lions lost, which is just rubs 78 00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:29,240 Speaker 1: it in all over the place. But San Francisco they've 79 00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:32,800 Speaker 1: they're looking pretty good. Stop me if you've heard this before, 80 00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:37,520 Speaker 1: but the Seahawks have the ball at the one yard 81 00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:42,400 Speaker 1: line late in the game. Marshawn Lynch is a member 82 00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:45,480 Speaker 1: of the team and what do you think we should 83 00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:48,560 Speaker 1: do with this? Stop me? If you heard this before, 84 00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:53,719 Speaker 1: Michael B sound familiar to you, Yes, it does. Speaking 85 00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:56,239 Speaker 1: of how do you get a delay of game penalty? 86 00:04:56,440 --> 00:05:00,080 Speaker 1: How does that happen? You're not gonna get any your 87 00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:04,520 Speaker 1: argument for me. By the way, coaches fired too. Uh. 88 00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:07,680 Speaker 1: And let's start with Pat Shermer. Uh. The giants have 89 00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:11,320 Speaker 1: said listen, it's been real, it's been two years. But 90 00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:15,000 Speaker 1: you gotta go. Yeah, I mean Shermer now, Freddie Kitchens 91 00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:17,799 Speaker 1: and Cleveland. Previously we had j Gruden and Ron Rivera. 92 00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:20,160 Speaker 1: What are you doing right now? If you're Jason Garrett? 93 00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:24,080 Speaker 1: Your phone rings and it says you know Jay Jones? Uh? 94 00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:26,800 Speaker 1: Do you pretend you're in the tunnel? Do you do? 95 00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:28,840 Speaker 1: You not pick up? You know? You gotta wonder is 96 00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:31,080 Speaker 1: heat next? But bar let's talk about this from a 97 00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:34,080 Speaker 1: business perspective, because this happens every year, right, I mean, 98 00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:36,120 Speaker 1: it's Black Monday for a reason in the NFL that 99 00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:40,840 Speaker 1: all these coaches get fired. Where is the business planning? 100 00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:46,080 Speaker 1: What you would think stability matters? If you are an owner, 101 00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:51,480 Speaker 1: you need to find yourself ahead of football operations. Jim whatever, 102 00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:54,520 Speaker 1: who can work with the coach that you believe in 103 00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:58,919 Speaker 1: and empower them that they can have the time to 104 00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:03,320 Speaker 1: implement whatever strategies is. I always go back to Larry Miller, 105 00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:07,240 Speaker 1: the lead Larry Miller with the Utah Jazz who never 106 00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:10,440 Speaker 1: quite got over the hump of Michael Jordan's They could 107 00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:15,039 Speaker 1: not win the NBA Championship, but they didn't fire Jerry Sloan. 108 00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:19,000 Speaker 1: They understood it was a talent problem or they were 109 00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:23,160 Speaker 1: facing Michael. Then look at Popovich in San Antonio. These 110 00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:28,840 Speaker 1: really good teams seem to understand that if you empower 111 00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:31,599 Speaker 1: these coaches and if you get the right guy, and 112 00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:33,839 Speaker 1: if you repeatedly are getting the wrong guy, don't you 113 00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:36,480 Speaker 1: have to look at yourself. Why are you changing coaches 114 00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:40,520 Speaker 1: every year or two. That is a failure of management. 115 00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:44,560 Speaker 1: That is a failure at the top. That is the 116 00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:47,479 Speaker 1: problem for the owner, and they need to look inward 117 00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:48,880 Speaker 1: and say what do I need you to fix this? 118 00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:51,599 Speaker 1: I need to find the right person and give them 119 00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:54,560 Speaker 1: the time to get it right. Up next story from 120 00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:58,640 Speaker 1: our colleague evn Novie Williams. Looking at the Clemson Tigers now, 121 00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:01,279 Speaker 1: while they may be winning on the yield, and I'm 122 00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:04,000 Speaker 1: sure Ohio State is like I wish you hush up 123 00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:07,800 Speaker 1: about this story. But Clemson is not winning when it 124 00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:11,400 Speaker 1: comes to the cash. No, Clemson, guess what they made 125 00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:16,960 Speaker 1: in profit profit now? Seven point six million dollars A 126 00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:18,960 Speaker 1: lot of money, yes, but in the world of big 127 00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:22,400 Speaker 1: time college football, not so much. And I always love 128 00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:26,000 Speaker 1: when Edmund puts in those open records requests through the 129 00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:28,160 Speaker 1: state schools that he can get all the information. And 130 00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:32,440 Speaker 1: he's done it. So Clemson seven point six million in profit. 131 00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:34,480 Speaker 1: Let's let's look at the other teams that were in 132 00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:39,840 Speaker 1: the final four. Bar Aready Oklahoma seventy three point three million, 133 00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:45,920 Speaker 1: v Ohio State University sixty four point six million, l 134 00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:50,600 Speaker 1: s U fifty five million. You gotta look at Clemson, 135 00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:54,040 Speaker 1: say we are a fraction of all of what these 136 00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:56,600 Speaker 1: other schools are bringing in. Now, I'm gonna give you 137 00:07:56,640 --> 00:07:59,080 Speaker 1: the chance, barter to give me some of the factors 138 00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:02,400 Speaker 1: as to why Empson has such a short fall. I 139 00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:04,680 Speaker 1: was thinking about that. I'm just wondering if part of 140 00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:08,360 Speaker 1: it is simply because the TV rights just aren't there. 141 00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:11,160 Speaker 1: There you go. I mean, I'm a Syracuse guy. As 142 00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:14,760 Speaker 1: you know, Syracuse switched over to the A C c UH. 143 00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:17,960 Speaker 1: They just don't command the types of dollars that the 144 00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:20,760 Speaker 1: Big ten, the Big twelve, and the SEC do. That's 145 00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:23,080 Speaker 1: number one. And Clemson, of course is the smallest of 146 00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:25,280 Speaker 1: the four schools that were in in the final four. 147 00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:28,640 Speaker 1: Their ticket sales were twenty five million dollars. That was 148 00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:32,400 Speaker 1: the lowest total. Ohio States sold sixty I mean, right there, 149 00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:36,080 Speaker 1: the million tickets versus sixty. There's a reason why Michigan 150 00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:39,800 Speaker 1: is called the big house. But the media is big. Um. 151 00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:43,280 Speaker 1: They just they just don't even by the way, there's 152 00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:46,559 Speaker 1: two sides to being to profit. You have the revenue 153 00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:49,480 Speaker 1: you bring in, right, and there's also the expenses that 154 00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:52,480 Speaker 1: you incur. So it wouldn't it be funny that the 155 00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:55,840 Speaker 1: team with the lowest revenue also has the highest football 156 00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:58,680 Speaker 1: related expenses. I mean, and start with the coach, Dabo 157 00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:03,439 Speaker 1: Sweeney makes millions, got million dollar deal. He's the highest 158 00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:05,840 Speaker 1: paid coach in the country. So that, of course we'll 159 00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:08,760 Speaker 1: bite into your profit and as we're seeing it certainly is. 160 00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:11,800 Speaker 1: And finally, let's stay in college football to talk about 161 00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:16,000 Speaker 1: the upcoming title game battle between two of the best 162 00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:19,960 Speaker 1: qbs in the game, Joe Burrow and Trevor Lawrence. Who 163 00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:21,560 Speaker 1: you got. Let just give me that. We never do this. 164 00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:25,520 Speaker 1: Bar who you got? I gotta go with Joe Burrow brow, Yes, okay, 165 00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:27,920 Speaker 1: you like L s U. S I do? I do. 166 00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:31,800 Speaker 1: It's this is I tell you man, L s U. Clemson. 167 00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:34,960 Speaker 1: Don't get me wrong, I love Clemson, but in fact 168 00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:38,760 Speaker 1: I picked them over Ohio State. I didn't put any 169 00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:41,320 Speaker 1: money on it because it was too close, but I 170 00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:43,080 Speaker 1: love L. S U. I think they're going to knock 171 00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:47,080 Speaker 1: it out of the park, all right, But this is 172 00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:50,800 Speaker 1: I would say, if I'm Joe Burrow, you're the likely 173 00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:53,520 Speaker 1: number one pick, right, Yes, That's where I'm going with it. 174 00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:56,120 Speaker 1: You always okay, so you're likely number one pick. Here 175 00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:59,960 Speaker 1: is the business part of this story. If you're Trevor Lawrence, 176 00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:04,319 Speaker 1: what are you doing next season? Michael Barr? Are you returning? 177 00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:08,160 Speaker 1: Are you returning to earn or help earn all that 178 00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:11,480 Speaker 1: money for your university while you get nothing? And I 179 00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:15,520 Speaker 1: do not mean to take shots at the athletic directors 180 00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:17,559 Speaker 1: who say you know the price of a scholarship. I 181 00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:22,800 Speaker 1: get it. However, he is certainly risking far more by 182 00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:27,920 Speaker 1: playing football at Clemson than by not playing. And remember 183 00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:31,320 Speaker 1: this is an NFL rule. This is negotiated between the 184 00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:33,720 Speaker 1: NFL and the nfl p A that a player cannot 185 00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:36,960 Speaker 1: enter the draft until three years after his high school graduation. 186 00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:40,280 Speaker 1: So we're going on year two for Trevor Lawrence, so 187 00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:42,480 Speaker 1: he has to wait another year. He cannot go to 188 00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:45,800 Speaker 1: the NFL. The question is do you go back and play? 189 00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:48,760 Speaker 1: And we are seeing lots of star players skipping bowl games. 190 00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:51,200 Speaker 1: Are we going to see a star player skip an 191 00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:54,800 Speaker 1: entire season? Think about it. He could go out and 192 00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:58,560 Speaker 1: get an internship with an NFL team and watch film 193 00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:01,520 Speaker 1: and be on a practice his field and become probably 194 00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:04,559 Speaker 1: a markedly better football player by not playing at Clemson 195 00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:07,480 Speaker 1: and simply preparing for the NFL. Your thoughts, see I 196 00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:09,880 Speaker 1: I disagree with that. I understand where you're going with it, 197 00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:14,720 Speaker 1: and it makes perfect sense. But Lawrence still has much 198 00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:18,280 Speaker 1: to learn. If he played another season, he can iron 199 00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:21,600 Speaker 1: all that out and now then that following season when 200 00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:25,760 Speaker 1: you when the draft comes up for draft, Now you're 201 00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:28,640 Speaker 1: gonna be a number one quarterback drafted in that lot. 202 00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:31,679 Speaker 1: He's going to be the number one pick the following year, 203 00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:34,080 Speaker 1: whether he goes to Clemson or not. My point is 204 00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:36,520 Speaker 1: I agree he has more to learn, but couldn't he 205 00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:38,960 Speaker 1: learned more by sitting in a pro setting every day 206 00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:42,840 Speaker 1: and practicing with pro players and watching pro tape and 207 00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:45,680 Speaker 1: working with pro coaches and preparing his body for the 208 00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:49,079 Speaker 1: pro game rather than a season at Clemson. And by, 209 00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:50,760 Speaker 1: by the way, you can always just say listen, I 210 00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:54,000 Speaker 1: like the college experience too. You could make the argument, 211 00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:56,920 Speaker 1: bar that's simply going back because you enjoy college is 212 00:11:56,960 --> 00:11:59,400 Speaker 1: a way to go, because it certainly is a fun 213 00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:03,200 Speaker 1: time before football becomes a job. Although I couldn't make 214 00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:05,400 Speaker 1: the argument even at the college level it is a 215 00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:07,480 Speaker 1: job because of all the time and pressure that is 216 00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:11,000 Speaker 1: associated with it. You could make that argument. I just 217 00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:14,320 Speaker 1: don't know, even with all the insurance that he can 218 00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:18,000 Speaker 1: get what it's worth going back to college putting all 219 00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:21,040 Speaker 1: that money in somebody else's pocket in a position, by 220 00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:24,400 Speaker 1: the way, where he is a sitting duck target. Let's 221 00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:27,280 Speaker 1: not forget the other team's quarterback must go down, and 222 00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:30,600 Speaker 1: he must go down hard, and he is the target 223 00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:33,360 Speaker 1: every single time he steps on that field. That does it. 224 00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:36,280 Speaker 1: For today's podcast, I'm Michael Barr along with an opt 225 00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:40,840 Speaker 1: up on night Quill Scotti, Day Quill Right now, day Quill. 226 00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:42,560 Speaker 1: I didn't want to be too a sleepy for you, 227 00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:45,360 Speaker 1: but we are here every Monday, Wednesday and Thursday exploring 228 00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:47,600 Speaker 1: the world of money in sports.
