Speaker 8: I feel like I'm pretty knowledgeable at most things sports,
Speaker 8: but what I don't understand are contracts. I don't understand
Speaker 8: when people say they sign this contract, this is guaranteed.
Speaker 8: That's not guaranteed. They got bonus. It's like, I never
Speaker 8: really understand what that means. Like recently the Cowboys they say, uh,
Speaker 8: we're gonna reconstruct Dax contract. I don't understand he signed
Speaker 8: a big contract. Restructure you mean, oh, is that the restructure?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 8: Like what does that mean? They're going to restructure and
Speaker 8: it sounds cool. Restructure it. We're gonna get more money
Speaker 8: from it. Cowboys are gonna be able to get someone else.
Speaker 8: I love it, but I don't know what it means.
Speaker 8: So can you explain it to me?
Speaker 1: Basically, the restructuring means they're just gonna pay it differently
Speaker 1: through either signing bonus or salary through different years. But
Speaker 1: I can Yeah, Dak does get the money, yes, so,
Speaker 1: but let's do the first part of it. The first
Speaker 1: part is guaranteed money. Where it sucks to be an
Speaker 1: NFL player versus a Major League Baseball player or an
Speaker 1: NBA player. Is NFL is not guaranteed like they literally,
Speaker 1: what you're guaranteed is basically the signing bonus that you
Speaker 1: get at the beginning and you get thirty five million guaranteed.
Speaker 1: That's that's basically the signing bonus, and they can spread
Speaker 1: it out, but go ahead. The rest are what clauses.
Speaker 1: They can cut you whoa and not pay use. Yeah. No,
Speaker 1: that's why it's difficult to make money in the NFL
Speaker 1: over a long period of time because it's such a
Speaker 1: physical sport. You get hurt, and it's why they don't
Speaker 1: like guaranteeing money. Look at the Browns. They gave Deshaun
Speaker 1: Watson a fully guaranteed five billion dollar contract and he
Speaker 1: sucks and they can't get out of it. It is
Speaker 1: the first time that it ever happened, So the guarantee
Speaker 1: is going to be mostly the signing bonus. Now, restructuring
Speaker 1: can happen in different ways, and now that's converting like
Speaker 1: salary into signing bonus a lot of times, and it's
Speaker 1: just moving money around open up money in other years.
Speaker 1: I'm not sure about the deck numbers specifically, but I
Speaker 1: can give you an example. I wrote this down if
Speaker 1: a player has a ten million dollar base salary. I
Speaker 1: like using tens because my brain works in slices. A
Speaker 1: ten million dollars.
Speaker 8: I have dyscalculus, so easier the better.
Speaker 1: If a player has a ten million dollars salary, the
Speaker 1: team can take eight million of that and put it
Speaker 1: into a signing bonus, so we can give you ten dollars.
Speaker 8: That's even better for me.
Speaker 1: Okay, So let's say your your salary is ten dollars, ballin,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go. You know what I'm gonna take. You're
Speaker 1: still gonna get all the money, but I'm gonna do
Speaker 1: eight dollars of that into a signing bonus. But now
Speaker 1: what I can do is spread that eight million bucks sorry,
Speaker 1: eight dollars dollars over three years, so you're guaranteed to
Speaker 1: get the money. And you've agreed to this because you
Speaker 1: want to make room for somebody else. So now I
Speaker 1: can give you, you know, two point five this year,
Speaker 1: two point five next year up until that eight million,
Speaker 1: which I think it's actually two point six to seven
Speaker 1: and something like that.
Speaker 8: Okay, time out, time out, yep, So you said that
Speaker 8: I have to I've okayed that. Yes, in this scenario,
Speaker 8: do they have to Okay, does a player have to
Speaker 8: okay this?
Speaker 1: Yes, because they can't just go in and wiggle with
Speaker 1: someone's contract. That's what I thought, and what that does
Speaker 1: is it just freeze cap space. So if I owe
Speaker 1: you ten dollars and you're getting it this year, let's
Speaker 1: say have it. We have thirty dollars for the whole
Speaker 1: show for me to pay, and I owe you ten dollars,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go. You know, what, would you mind? You're
Speaker 1: still gonna get your money if we do eight dollars
Speaker 1: that is a signing bonus, but we spread out over
Speaker 1: three years, so really this year you're only getting two
Speaker 1: point sixty seven of it, which allows another five dollars
Speaker 1: or so to buy somebody else.
Speaker 8: Yeah, which in turn is going to make you look
Speaker 8: better because the team's going to be better, hopefully.
Speaker 1: Correct, that's the theory. Like, I am still going to
Speaker 1: get my money, but we're going to turn it into
Speaker 1: signing bonus money and you can spread that out to
Speaker 1: like give relief this year.
Speaker 8: Okay, this is already helping me. Like I'm now understanding
Speaker 8: a little better because in my mind I was like, oh, well,
Speaker 8: now they're just taking money away from DAK or CD
Speaker 8: trying to make that cap space bigger. But no, they
Speaker 8: had to okay this, and that's okay with him. That
Speaker 8: makes me feel better about it.
Speaker 1: Another way that they could do it is instead of
Speaker 1: a player getting cut not because they're bad or old,
Speaker 1: but because they make too much money. So if there's
Speaker 1: a veteran, let's do ten dollars again. Yeah, let's say
Speaker 1: you're a veteran and I'm like, man, you're good, but
Speaker 1: you're also old. I don't feel like you're worth ten
Speaker 1: dollars over the next few years.
Speaker 8: That's rude, but I get it.
Speaker 1: Okay, So what if I give you six dollars and
Speaker 1: I give you six dollars in incentives, meaning if you
Speaker 1: show up to the show this many times, if you
Speaker 1: have this many laugh out loud segments, if you said so,
Speaker 1: you have an opportunity to make more because of incentives.
Speaker 1: I'm also not going to cut you, but you're not
Speaker 1: gonna have it all guaranteed, but it's gonna be a
Speaker 1: way for you to stay on the team.
Speaker 8: Okay, that makes perfect sense. Now, Now, like you know
Speaker 8: you have running backs like say Saquon I know that
Speaker 8: he was trying to say Saquon had if he broke
Speaker 8: a thousand yards, he gets an incentive. Now, if you're
Speaker 8: at nine hundred and ninety eight and the coach sits
Speaker 8: like do teams ever be like, hey man, if he
Speaker 8: gets two more yards, like we're gonna say the.
Speaker 1: Cowboys did it this year two. I'm forgetting who, but
Speaker 1: the Cowboys sat somebody because it seemed like he was
Speaker 1: going to break a record. Yes, yes, Cooper Rush, right,
Speaker 1: it was it Cooper Rush. Yeah, so.
Speaker 8: Dying that's dirty.
Speaker 1: That's right because Trey Lance was put in because Cooper
Speaker 1: Rush was gonna hit one of his one.
Speaker 8: Of them bonus senses. That is dirty.
Speaker 1: It's dirty. Dog. And you have people that maybe not
Speaker 1: even an incentive base, but like a Saquon who was
Speaker 1: going to break the record. Yeah, and he was like,
Speaker 1: I'm not going to play. I don't want to play now.
Speaker 1: That wasn't incentive base. That was breaking a record and
Speaker 1: he just decided not to play himself.
Speaker 8: Okay, I just used that as an example.
Speaker 1: But the Cowboys you brought up an example, and it
Speaker 1: was the wrong example because your boys.
Speaker 8: Yeah Cooper right now read do you understand this?
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I understand it.
Speaker 1: I can give you a couple examples. Mahomes Is twenty
Speaker 1: twenty three restructure. The Chiefs restructured his contract. They converted
Speaker 1: since I've explained that his base salary into a basically
Speaker 1: a two hundred and ten million dollar bonus, like a
Speaker 1: guaranteed payout, like a signing bonus. So they were able
Speaker 1: to move that money around and they can always continue
Speaker 1: to restructure it as long as the player allows. They'll
Speaker 1: always get the money. Yeah, but they may not get
Speaker 1: as much now. They may take a lot of it
Speaker 1: earlier than later if they have plans for next year
Speaker 1: in the year after, Like, if you know you're going
Speaker 1: to suck this year, let's just pay you a whole
Speaker 1: lot this year, but we want you to stay on
Speaker 1: the team. So there's a lot of ways around it.
Speaker 1: But it's just moving things. Okay, So they did that,
Speaker 1: and then Aaron Rodgers took a pay cut to make
Speaker 1: the Jets better.
Speaker 8: That didn't work out, that's correct.
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's memories, man, that's having a great Friday.
Speaker 1: But it is everybody got hit sing man. Yeah, everybody
Speaker 1: took a little shot there. Does that help at all?
Speaker 8: It helps a lot. Yes, it helps me understand now,
Speaker 8: which one of the sports that you compared, like, you know,
Speaker 8: football is the only one that doesn't do guarantees.
Speaker 1: Of the three major sports, Baseball and basketball you get paid.
Speaker 8: So of the three major sports, sam an amazing athlete.
Speaker 1: You want to be a basketball player.
Speaker 8: Okay, explain to me why.
Speaker 1: Less than one hundred games the sport is more popular
Speaker 1: than baseball.
Speaker 8: Guaranteed money and again that means that when I signed
Speaker 8: my contract, you get it all like lumpsom.
Speaker 1: No, no, no, but look at that is like the lottery.
Speaker 1: Now you can now that in basketball too, they have,
Speaker 1: uh if they have in the last couple of years
Speaker 1: something called with their contracts. They have like levels the aprons, aprons,
Speaker 1: thank you. So that's but you do get all your money.
Speaker 1: So if you sign four years, two hundred and ten
Speaker 1: million dollars, you get it all. Well, can they move money?
Speaker 1: And in the same way NFL does a little bit
Speaker 1: like put more back on this year. Yes, but you
Speaker 1: get it all. Baseball you get it all. That's why
Speaker 1: these guys signed fifteen year deals. Look at the Mets. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so yes, yeah, they get all that money.
Speaker 8: God, that's awesome.
Speaker 1: NFL dollars you don't. You just get guaranteed and then
Speaker 1: you continue to get what you get while you're there.
Speaker 1: But if you were to like get to pick bas
Speaker 1: it's not about your what you like playing the most.
Speaker 1: But if like, financially, what's the best for me?
Speaker 8: Basketball?
Speaker 1: Basketball, because it's not one hundred and sixty two games,
Speaker 1: you're inside, your money's guaranteed, there's less, your your face
Speaker 1: is seen more because there's five people instead of nine
Speaker 1: and the cameras on the whole court. So that's why
Speaker 1: I would pick basketball. It's not my favorite sport to play.
Speaker 1: If if it just got a love, probably pick baseball
Speaker 1: to play. Yeah, I wouldn'tick FOOTBLL because money's not guaranteed.
Speaker 8: But of those two and you just get beat up
Speaker 8: every every game.
Speaker 1: Yeah, lifespans of an athlete in football is a lot shorter.
Speaker 3: Could that ever change? Meaning like as far as like
Speaker 3: the contract stuff, like they.
Speaker 1: Tried to change, like they've tried to have a new
Speaker 1: like an agreement with the NFL. It's all about union
Speaker 1: and what they can fight for, what the owners will
Speaker 1: agree to. They'll have holdouts and strikes and all of
Speaker 1: that factors in. Yes, but they will not allow guaranteed
Speaker 1: money in football because you can get hurt so quickly.
Speaker 1: Oh that makes sense, but it's why they want more
Speaker 1: guaranteed money in football. Sure, that's why that's a big deal.
Speaker 8: Got it? Like the Deebo Samuel deal? Like, so he
Speaker 8: had money left over in his contract. What happens? Who
Speaker 8: pays that? Or does no one pay that?
Speaker 1: Once he's traded, the commanders pay it. So his contract
Speaker 1: has to get paid. If they can't trade him, they
Speaker 1: have to pay him, or they can cut him. They
Speaker 1: still got to pay him, but they'll only take a
Speaker 1: limited hit based on when they cut him. But they
Speaker 1: trade them Commanders for a fifth round pick, and the
Speaker 1: commanders have agreed. I think it's around twenty million bucks.
Speaker 1: I don't have the exact number. Pay the rest of
Speaker 1: his contract, that's part of it. You have to pay
Speaker 1: his contract and in exchange the forty nine ers. One
Speaker 1: don't have to pay that money anymore, and two they're
Speaker 1: getting a pick. It's only a fifth round pick. It
Speaker 1: wasn't so much about the pick, but it was about
Speaker 1: they weren't going to re sign, to sign them to
Speaker 1: a new deal, and they didn't want to have to
Speaker 1: pay twenty million bucks for a guy. It's hurt all
Speaker 1: the time.
Speaker 8: Dude, you're so smart. I'm not. This is just I
Speaker 8: guess you are. You understand I've been reading about this
Speaker 8: for years, and I'm like, I don't get it, and
Speaker 8: I just give up.
Speaker 1: I just don't understand.
Speaker 8: You also have dyscalcula, that's true, and dyslexic. So think
Speaker 8: about reading an article on that stuff about numbers. I'm screwed,
Speaker 8: completely screwed. But if I have my best friend explained.
Speaker 1: It to me, I can't.
Speaker 8: I can like, like, it's ten dollars.
Speaker 1: That's how I have to explain it to myself. Everything
Speaker 1: at ten dollars is even when I do math, it's
Speaker 1: all in ten and tens and round numbers.
Speaker 8: You start throwing millions out, man, I'm like, I don't
Speaker 8: know what you're talking about.
Speaker 1: Read any question from you?
Speaker 3: No, man, I mean the only thing I didn't kind
Speaker 3: of understand is salary cap stuff. And that's just from
Speaker 3: playing like two K and.
Speaker 6: Oh right, yeah, you're like, you own your own college team, right.
Speaker 4: I did.
Speaker 3: I'd not build out because I'm terrible at the game.
Speaker 1: So salary caps in what way?
Speaker 3: Meaning?
Speaker 1: Why are they different? Baseball doesn't have one. Baseball you
Speaker 1: end up paying a luxury tax once you hit a
Speaker 1: certain amount. But it's why the big teams have all
Speaker 1: the That's why the Dodgers have everybody.
Speaker 8: A luxury tax like monopoly, like the governments.
Speaker 1: Once you hit a level, it's a luxury tax that
Speaker 1: you have to pay back into the way. And it's
Speaker 1: like so much luxury with all your team that you
Speaker 1: have to pay in And.
Speaker 6: Like Otani's thing, they deferred like six hundred million of it,
Speaker 6: like they don't have to pay it till after his contract.
Speaker 1: Baseball's got a lot of crazy rules. Yeah, like there's
Speaker 1: no salary cap in baseball. Yeah, and then like Bobby
Speaker 1: Boni is you know he has Bobby Bonia. They gets
Speaker 1: a million bucks every year. It's because they puts a
Speaker 1: lot of that back. Basketball is weird because they have
Speaker 1: clauses to like a bird clause where if you're with
Speaker 1: the team for a long time, a super max meaning
Speaker 1: if you're with the team for like Luca cannot get
Speaker 1: super max money because he's not with Dallas. He could
Speaker 1: have got it in Dallas if they'd wanted to sign him,
Speaker 1: but it's with the Lakers.
Speaker 8: Now.
Speaker 1: Lakers can offer them super max money because they have
Speaker 1: to play with them long enough. But there is a cap,
Speaker 1: but then there are little rules around the cap how
Speaker 1: you can pay people more.
Speaker 8: Did you see Dallas is raising their their ticket prices
Speaker 8: like ten percent. But like everyone's gone, and like I
Speaker 8: think Kyrie's hurt.
Speaker 1: Kyrie is hurt. It's a bad timing, man, the Kyrie thing.
Speaker 1: He's hurt, and that is I think it was a
Speaker 1: hamstring injury a c l oh, that's what it was.
Speaker 1: ACL And that's a season. So he's now he's next year,
Speaker 1: he's going to be out for that year.
Speaker 8: Yeah. Yeah, Luke is gone and prices are expensive.
Speaker 1: Bad timing. They probably would have raised him anyway regardless,
Speaker 1: just because of tickets goes down. Yes, the other sport
Speaker 1: was an FL They have a salary cap. Yeah, theirs
Speaker 1: is the hardest of the caps.
Speaker 8: Do you imagine we didn't have a salary cap? The
Speaker 8: Cowboys would have everyone man.
Speaker 1: And still saw it. You'd be the Yankee. We don't
Speaker 1: have to say, have all the money. He can win
Speaker 1: the world. Yes, okay, I thank you, thank you for
Speaker 1: coming to class, everybody. And if I mess anything up
Speaker 1: in this, no need a DM me. If I was
Speaker 1: like eighty eight percent right to me, that's successful being
Speaker 1: eighty eight percent right there. Update on the pickleball troll
Speaker 1: who challenged me, We had a lawyer named Brooks join
Speaker 1: us to explain some of the stuff on how we
Speaker 1: can make this happen without me getting scammed out of
Speaker 1: money or him even you're gonna hear about some legal stuff.
Speaker 1: He's a license attorney in three different states. He's now
Speaker 1: working part time because his wife's a surgeon, and he
Speaker 1: just was like, hey, I can actually help you pull
Speaker 1: this off. So, without saying anymore, here he is the attorney,
Speaker 1: not mine. Never met him, the attorney. Okay, so we
Speaker 1: have Brooks. I won't even say Brooks his last name,
Speaker 1: just in case.
Speaker 8: Oh nice, good, I mean you got it, like Brooks
Speaker 8: the lawyer.
Speaker 1: Well, unless Brooks, like has a legal firm he wants
Speaker 1: to promote Brooks and Brooks. Yeah, I don't know Brooks
Speaker 1: and associates. Brooks, are you an attorney right now?
Speaker 4: I am a licensed attorney?
Speaker 8: Okay?
Speaker 1: And so what my.
Speaker 4: Last name is? My last name is sorry, I'll talk
Speaker 4: every but my last name is Fry f Roye.
Speaker 1: Okay, there we go. I support Brooks. I don't know
Speaker 1: what he does, but I support him already because he's
Speaker 1: on with us. So use Brooks Fry for your needs.
Speaker 1: Why do you do it? Brooks? What do you do
Speaker 1: is your specialty?
Speaker 4: So I moved to Tennessee about four years ago.
Speaker 10: I did a lot of personal injury and business litigation
Speaker 10: for a few years. Then that firm I was working
Speaker 10: with one other attorney. He decided to move on and
Speaker 10: get back to doing what you call big law and
Speaker 10: went back to IP litigation or intellectual property, and I
Speaker 10: took a step back.
Speaker 4: I've got a.
Speaker 10: Six year old and another child on the way, and
Speaker 10: so I've been working remotely from home for the last
Speaker 10: six months or so.
Speaker 1: Are you still licensed for if we needed to use
Speaker 1: your services, that you could hop in and we wouldn't
Speaker 1: go to jail.
Speaker 4: That's correct. Yes, I still have a license in Tennessee.
Speaker 4: I've got win in Kentucky in North Carolina as well.
Speaker 1: Yeah, don't even ask the questions. That's why I'm like,
Speaker 1: I'm confusing I how to be asked lawyer's questions and
Speaker 1: I don't really got there. Actually good, So here's the thing.
Speaker 1: Brooks is an attorney and we need a legal advice
Speaker 1: because that dude in Ohio who was like, i'll play you,
Speaker 1: We'll play for a thousand bucks and pickleball, But I
Speaker 1: don't trust that I'm not going to get scammed by
Speaker 1: sending him the money. So Brooks, as an attorney, what
Speaker 1: do you advise us to do so I don't get
Speaker 1: scammed and he doesn't get scammed with the money.
Speaker 10: Well, the main thing what I would say is you
Speaker 10: don't necessarily need a lawyer. I do think it's good
Speaker 10: idea to have a lawyer to draft the agreement for you,
Speaker 10: but it's basically just set up an escrow. That way,
Speaker 10: you have a third party to hold the money for
Speaker 10: you while while the competition is pending, and you're going
Speaker 10: to have to have a pretty good agreement so that
Speaker 10: both of you trust the terms of it. Then you
Speaker 10: have an escrow agent, which could be me or someone else,
Speaker 10: that would hold that the money to be paid into them.
Speaker 10: So if I think you were saying you wanted to
Speaker 10: put in one thousand dollars apiece, then you'd have two
Speaker 10: thousand dollars as the payout, which would be held in
Speaker 10: an account that only the escor agent would have access
Speaker 10: to or attorney. And then what's the competition is over,
Speaker 10: then that person would then have the ultimate authority to
Speaker 10: decide who to award the two thousand dollars.
Speaker 1: To now, if you were him, I'll play devil's advocate
Speaker 1: if you were him, and I said, okay, I've got
Speaker 1: my attorney, mister Brooks Fry. Ever heard of him? And
Speaker 1: he's like I haven't. I was like, oh, he's the best.
Speaker 1: And I say, he is holding my thousand and he'll
Speaker 1: hold your thousand in an escrow. Would there be a
Speaker 1: reason that he would go no, I don't trust that,
Speaker 1: or because since you are a licensed you kind of
Speaker 1: have to do the right thing.
Speaker 4: That's right.
Speaker 10: Yeah, So the upside of being being a lawyer, you know,
Speaker 10: you put yourself out there, so the last thing you
Speaker 10: want as an attorneys were starting to be upset, so
Speaker 10: you one. I would also if I want to draft
Speaker 10: the agreement, I'd want to make sure that both parties
Speaker 10: were completely acceptable to the agreement. I wouldn't be representing
Speaker 10: either of you individually. In fact, we wouldn't even necessarily
Speaker 10: have a true lawyer client relationship because again I would
Speaker 10: just be representing the two of you as an asker agent.
Speaker 10: The money would would just be set up in an
Speaker 10: account that I would hold. The main thing would be
Speaker 10: is one of the friend of trust. I know, I
Speaker 10: appreciate you saying I'm a great lawyer. But the truth
Speaker 10: is we don't know one another, so he has no
Speaker 10: reason to think that I would favor you over him.
Speaker 10: But it would be great to put me in touch
Speaker 10: with him if you want to move forward, and then
Speaker 10: we can talk.
Speaker 4: I can talk to him, he can ask any question
Speaker 4: he wants on.
Speaker 10: Me, and we can go forward. I thought I was
Speaker 10: a prosecutor for sixteen years. That's what I did in
Speaker 10: North Carolina and Kentucky. So I'd like to think that
Speaker 10: I try.
Speaker 4: To be pretty fair.
Speaker 1: If I were to put a dollar in your pocket,
Speaker 1: can I tell you every secret I know you could see? Cool?
Speaker 1: That's what I want to do.
Speaker 2: I when I have something, well, that's something well with
Speaker 2: some limitation.
Speaker 10: If you know other than like, for example, you can
Speaker 10: tell me you're going to commit a criminal act that
Speaker 10: would harm somebody else, then I'd have to to hold
Speaker 10: to that.
Speaker 1: But if I told you that I had committed a
Speaker 1: criminal act in the past, would you tell on me?
Speaker 10: No.
Speaker 1: I got to get a dollar of this guy quick.
Speaker 1: It's a good guy, and so okay, So here's now
Speaker 1: when we dropped the agreement doesn't have to be like
Speaker 1: a ten page or Can it be like two paragraphs?
Speaker 1: That's like, we agree to play pickleball. These are the
Speaker 1: rules we're going to play to. This is how we're
Speaker 1: gonna fight about if there's a discrepancy on a point
Speaker 1: in er out? Can it be like a few paragraphs?
Speaker 4: Yeah, it would.
Speaker 10: You would have some what you call legal lees, which
Speaker 10: is the sort of bulletplate language that you see in
Speaker 10: a lot of contracts that you would you'd want in there.
Speaker 4: Just just to make sure it was everything was up
Speaker 4: to far.
Speaker 10: But other than that, the meat of it, the substance. Yes,
Speaker 10: it'd just be a few paragraphs, I think. But those
Speaker 10: are some of the points I would have for you.
Speaker 10: If you'd want to make sure that you had rules
Speaker 10: established us. Seeing there's some pickleball rules or some association,
Speaker 10: you could follow their rules and adopt them. You'd want
Speaker 10: to have a referee for the match. That would probably
Speaker 10: be an interesting thing to talk about.
Speaker 1: I pick Eddy?
Speaker 8: Can I do that?
Speaker 1: Can I pick my friend to do it?
Speaker 4: Does that work? Sure? As long as he if he's agreeable.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, it's going to work.
Speaker 8: Yeah, he's never throw it in the contract?
Speaker 1: Yes, surrounded with big words. Yeah, So.
Speaker 4: Go ahead.
Speaker 7: So we need to.
Speaker 1: Because I can't really establish the rules with him. But
Speaker 1: what we can do is draw up some generic rules
Speaker 1: and then you talk between both of us to establish
Speaker 1: what we agree upon. Is that would that be through it?
Speaker 4: Yes, that's what I'd recommend, is that we come up
Speaker 4: with something.
Speaker 10: I guess one before we start getting into it, let's
Speaker 10: get some I don't even know what the guy's name is,
Speaker 10: but communication with him.
Speaker 1: Mister troll Johnson, so I call him troll Johnson. Yeah.
Speaker 4: Well we're starting off in good footing.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah, So uh talk to him, uh.
Speaker 10: You know, some email communication or something like that, just
Speaker 10: to get him, make sure he actually wants to do it,
Speaker 10: you know, and then you got to figure out where
Speaker 10: you're gonna do it.
Speaker 1: Cleveland, Ohio. I think I'm gonna fly to him Cleveland, Ohio.
Speaker 4: You know you got You're gonna have to fly up there.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, that's what drive. That's a long lost now
Speaker 1: that's true. Why you know what, I'll go, I'll go
Speaker 1: on the road. I'll give up the home court advantage.
Speaker 1: I'll go on the road to take on mister troll Johnson.
Speaker 1: I'm coming for you. And I was gonna sep with
Speaker 1: my lawyer. But I don't know, Like you said, I
Speaker 1: don't know, he's impartial impartial attorney.
Speaker 8: Is mister Brooks? Is he doing this pro bono?
Speaker 1: Well, it's a good question. What's your hourly rate? Mister Brooks?
Speaker 1: Just be respectful.
Speaker 10: It's quite a obviously I was going to do this
Speaker 10: pro bow Now I just find it amusing. I do
Speaker 10: listen to the show daily, both this one and your
Speaker 10: your bigger show.
Speaker 1: Are you a trustworth the guy which you want to
Speaker 1: go with us? What have you weird?
Speaker 8: If you went with us and we introduce him everyone
Speaker 8: as our lawyer except but.
Speaker 1: But he can't be our lawyers, the lawyer for the games.
Speaker 4: Yeah that's right, lawyer, Yeah, the lawyer for this competition.
Speaker 1: Yes, okay, So do we need to possibly do that? Yeah?
Speaker 1: I think that's that's something we should consider. That'd be
Speaker 1: especially if he's in a suit. We show up with
Speaker 1: a guy in a suit and a briefcase.
Speaker 8: Nothing needs to be in there, just a briefcase.
Speaker 1: Handcout to his hand. He handcuffs a briefcase to his
Speaker 1: hand so no one can steal a contract.
Speaker 4: Yes, okay, I did hear Eddie make the sault Goodman comment?
Speaker 4: The other day.
Speaker 10: But you know, I don't have an old school briefcase.
Speaker 10: I do have, like, you know, the leather sort of
Speaker 10: saddle briefcase.
Speaker 4: Get you can bring that. It's monic, it's legit.
Speaker 1: It's more find him. Okay, So is there any language
Speaker 1: because there's a difference in like a competition or a
Speaker 1: lottery or how do we need to approach this legally
Speaker 1: in order for this to be legit?
Speaker 4: Oh? Yeah, well I was just pointing that out. I
Speaker 4: know that.
Speaker 10: I think it was originally referred to as a bet,
Speaker 10: but when you think about the laws, that refers to
Speaker 10: like betting. Obviously that's a game of chance. So you
Speaker 10: don't want to say that because there's rules about gambling
Speaker 10: and you don't want.
Speaker 4: To be in violation of that. But that's not what
Speaker 4: you're doing.
Speaker 10: This is a skills based competition that I presume you're
Speaker 10: a very highly skilled pickaball.
Speaker 4: Player, and maybe not the other guy, but we'll see maybe.
Speaker 10: But it's going to be based on his skill or
Speaker 10: lack thereof, and yours or lack thereof, and we'll see
Speaker 10: how it goes.
Speaker 1: I say the risk is his life once I kill
Speaker 1: him on the court. A game of chance on the court,
Speaker 1: on the court getting into a game with me, and
Speaker 1: the chance isn't going to be humiliated even though it's
Speaker 1: a four year D one athlete. That kind of sucks.
Speaker 1: I don't know that way, I don't remember that. Yeah, no,
Speaker 1: I mean okay, So do you know what sporty played? Wrestling? Yeah, exactly. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's going to wrest to touch him, wrestle to pick
Speaker 1: the ball at the ground. I'm going to hold it down. Okay.
Speaker 1: So first of all, thank you so much for giving
Speaker 1: us this advice.
Speaker 4: Uh.
Speaker 1: Secondly, I'm going to get in contact with old Feller
Speaker 1: and we will see how comfortable he is with the
Speaker 1: communication with our mutually agreed upon attorney, and then the
Speaker 1: game of skill for the based competition absolutely for the cash,
Speaker 1: should and shall take place therefore on.
Speaker 9: Okay contract, Yeah yeah, yeah, you're writing this down for yes,
Speaker 9: for score, I've already got that note.
Speaker 10: You want to have a time limit if he's if
Speaker 10: he backs down, you can need him by a certain question.
Speaker 1: What if the time is again for score in seven
Speaker 1: years seven minutes?
Speaker 7: Man?
Speaker 1: Okay, good point, good point, okay, Hey, thank you brook
Speaker 1: Din really appreciate it. And we will be in touch
Speaker 1: really soon. I'm going to get his information and hopefully
Speaker 1: we can get this thing going. Okay, all right, Bob,

Speaker 1: nail these, Thanks, dude.

Speaker 10: Four?
Speaker 1: Oh, Edie? So that's Eddie first. I'll go second, Casey
Speaker 1: didn't read, and then we wrap around and go backward.
Speaker 1: What does that over and over again? We have six categories,
Speaker 1: Eddie first, overall pick, and the sports hero draft.
Speaker 8: Like I do in fantasy, I pick the heart, the
Speaker 8: one that has the least amount of players, so like
Speaker 8: running backs. Not a lot of running backs. So I'm
Speaker 8: gonna go with the coaches on this one. I'm going
Speaker 8: Nick Saban as my number one pick.
Speaker 1: M Okay, it's a weird fantasy. Just try to you too.
Speaker 1: Maybe there are a lot of a lot of receivers.
Speaker 8: I never get a receiver first.

Speaker 3: the first movie that I ever cried to. And I

Speaker 8: It's a good one.
Speaker 3: Pulling them out right now, Son.
Speaker 6: That's coaches have to be current coaching, right they do retired? Okay,

Speaker 1: wasn't on sale and now it was or something like that. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. Yeah, yeah, good, good job.
Speaker 1: But you get to keep saving and case you have
Speaker 1: Andy Raidy said yes, yes, Okay, so I have MLB
Speaker 1: coach and fictional. I think I'm gonna go fictional. This
Speaker 1: is a tough one because there are so many good
Speaker 1: ones other than radio. Obviously, I think I'm gonna go
Speaker 1: happy Gilmore.
Speaker 3: Oh nice, that's a good one.
Speaker 8: He was awesome.
Speaker 3: That's a good one.
Speaker 8: Okay, I need an NFL current player.
Speaker 1: What do you have left overall?
Speaker 8: Yeah, I don't really have a structure on my paper
Speaker 8: because you don't know what you have left, like what category?
Speaker 8: Not really I know who I picked, So I kind
Speaker 8: of have an idea I have. I think I have
Speaker 8: NFL current that I need because I have NFL retired.
Speaker 8: Yeah you had, Brady, Why don't you make the list
Speaker 8: while we're going right now? Okay, did you have a coach?
Speaker 8: Should you read me the categories again?
Speaker 1: Baseball, football, Basketball? So those are three players, kay retired,
Speaker 1: a coach, and a fictional.
Speaker 7: MLB.
Speaker 8: Okay, so I do have retired Tom Brady and then
Speaker 8: fictional I did not have. I think I'm gonna go there.
Speaker 8: I'm gonna go with fictional Henry Rowan Gardner, the kid
Speaker 8: with the army.
Speaker 1: Big fan.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 8: And then I need an NBA player, So this is
Speaker 8: current NBA player, right, Ye, give me Anthony Edwards.
Speaker 1: Good choice. So I have to take an MLB player
Speaker 1: or a coach, and I'm gonna take Mike Trout.
Speaker 4: Mm hmm.
Speaker 6: All right, I think I'm gonna go with my retired pick.
Speaker 6: Now you know, I'm just gonna do it. Shaquille O'Neill.
Speaker 6: I need a big man, that's good man.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna follow the same big man logic. I'm gonna
Speaker 3: go NBA and go Wimby Nice.
Speaker 8: And who do you have left?
Speaker 1: I got NFL left, So you have one pick left
Speaker 1: and I'll go to you.
Speaker 3: That's the one i'm struggling with.
Speaker 8: Oh, that's a good question.
Speaker 3: You know what, I'm gonna go Cee D.
Speaker 4: I love it.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go se D. You're gonna go see he's.
Speaker 8: Very different.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna god of your time.
Speaker 6: Okay, all right, my last pick, my fictional character. I'm
Speaker 6: gonna go with Jesus Shuttleworth from He Got.
Speaker 8: Game Right Now, that's a good movie. Man, I forgot
Speaker 8: about that movie.
Speaker 1: Mine's gonna have to be a coach. Just what I
Speaker 1: have left? What do you have left, Eddie?
Speaker 8: I have NFL?
Speaker 1: So so I could talk my coaches out. I am
Speaker 1: between Steve Kerr, John Harball, Jim Harble, both the Horrible Brothers,
Speaker 1: Pry Jim, probably Steve Jim or Jim Harball. I think
Speaker 1: I'll go Jim Harball just because NFL is more popular.
Speaker 1: So coach Jim Harball, all right, We're gonna win immediately.
Speaker 1: That's what he does. Eddie, this is tough.
Speaker 8: I should not have left the current NFL player Like,
Speaker 8: It's just this is hard.
Speaker 1: You can talk it out because you have plenty of times.
Speaker 8: I would have really wanted Asatrick Mahomes. That's the first
Speaker 8: one available. I would have really liked to stop not
Speaker 8: picking that absolutely. Oh I really would have liked Lamar Jackson. Yeah,
Speaker 8: but currently Manaquon is just oh yeah killing it true? Okay,

Speaker 1: the air.
Speaker 8: It's like the kicker. The coaches like the kicker.

Speaker 1: And now a part of an interview from our podcast
Speaker 1: lots to say. It's Matt Castle, former NFL quarterback, and
Speaker 1: myself and we were talking to Nico Collins and so
Speaker 1: here's the part. If you needed the whole thing, go
Speaker 1: over and listen on that podcast. Some of my friends
Speaker 1: up play pro basketball. They talk about when they're on
Speaker 1: and the rim looks like it's ten feet wide and
Speaker 1: you know they can't miss, like when you're on, Like,
Speaker 1: what's the what's the difference with you? Does the ball
Speaker 1: look bigger?
Speaker 8: Does look softer?
Speaker 1: Do the players look slower?
Speaker 7: And man?
Speaker 11: Everything I think when I'm on, like the ball everything
Speaker 11: is moving slow motion, like everything the ball's coming slow. Guys,
Speaker 11: just look slower. Yeah, it's just like action figures out there.
Speaker 11: You know, it's just a bag drill. That's kind of
Speaker 11: what it feels like. You know, it's just routs on there.
Speaker 11: You know you're not seeing nobody, everything just moving. You know,
Speaker 11: you're blocking out the noise man, it's just in the moment, man,
Speaker 11: I feel like there's that's no better feeling. Man, when
Speaker 11: you when you find that groove, you know, you know
Speaker 11: how it is, and it's it's unstoppable the stocks, you know.
Speaker 7: Yeah, that groove. It's nice and I love being that group.
Speaker 1: You ever self scout yourself for tendencies, to make sure
Speaker 1: that you're not being scouted for tendencies, to make sure
Speaker 1: you're not doing things like on the line that they
Speaker 1: already know what you're about to do.
Speaker 7: Yeah, for sure. Yeah, I try to.
Speaker 11: I try to, you know, modify my game to keep
Speaker 11: it the same because I'm a bigger receiver, you know,
Speaker 11: so it's it's easier for me.
Speaker 7: You know, I'm six for it, so it's easier for
Speaker 7: me to you can tell when it's time for me
Speaker 7: to de sail, stop, speed up.
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 7: It's it's easier, easier indicators, you know.
Speaker 11: So I feel like for me, man, just that's one
Speaker 11: thing I sell scout is how can I find ways
Speaker 11: to make everything look the same? You know, my tempo
Speaker 11: changing or they know when I come with the ball fast,
Speaker 11: it's either going to be a deep route or I'm
Speaker 11: coming off slow. Might be a run play, you know.
Speaker 11: So I feel like right now I'm at the point
Speaker 11: of my career where I need to make everything look
Speaker 11: the same.
Speaker 7: And I feel like that's thinking about.
Speaker 11: Being chasing, you know, even when I'm tired, you know,
Speaker 11: fourth quarter, you know, you got to run a post route,
Speaker 11: you know, or you got to run the incut. How
Speaker 11: can you make everything look the same? You know, So
Speaker 11: the the dbs, you know, can't cover. You know, they're
Speaker 11: smart too, you know, they great players and they get
Speaker 11: paid as well, you know, so they watch film, you know,
Speaker 11: they pros, you know, so they know they know the game,
Speaker 11: you know, so they know when when it's a run
Speaker 11: player past player. So I feel like for me, that's
Speaker 11: that's one step I gotta take, you know, just making
Speaker 11: everything look the same, you know, keep my pay level low.
Speaker 11: Being feels with a lot of scrimmens, you know, which
Speaker 11: I am, you know, But I feel like for me
Speaker 11: to just continue to work in those stands.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're physical, you're large. Do you like when a
Speaker 1: dB comes up to jam you? Is that fun, like
Speaker 1: let's go?
Speaker 7: Yeah, I love it. That's try of football, man.
Speaker 11: I feel like that's that's that brings the energy you
Speaker 11: know that brings to the competitive nature I have. And
Speaker 11: I love competing, man, Like, let's go and when God
Speaker 11: come down to press, you know, be trying to stop
Speaker 11: you from making place, you know, and for me it's
Speaker 11: the team trust me to go make a play.
Speaker 7: You know, whatever your numbers call, you got to make
Speaker 7: it play, man.
Speaker 11: So like for me, man, I love being pressed, you know,
Speaker 11: I love just competing, you know, because hey, they putting,
Speaker 11: they all into that that press jam, you know, so
Speaker 11: you know you beat them off the line, you know
Speaker 11: a lot. You know, keep running your reps and you
Speaker 11: know you can you'll know an when you take their pride.
Speaker 1: Little bit speaking of getting your number called, if I'm correct,
Speaker 1: you were drafting third round. Well what are these guys feeling?
Speaker 1: What are they feeling right now? Is we're inching up?
Speaker 1: What were you feeling about this point as the draft
Speaker 1: was about to happen.
Speaker 7: Yeah, Man, I was anxious.
Speaker 11: Didn't know where to go, you know, I didn't know
Speaker 11: where I was gonna go, didn't know what team you know,
Speaker 11: believe didn't me like me enough, you know, just coming
Speaker 11: from the Senior Bowl. Man, you know, it was a
Speaker 11: lot of emotions, you know, Pro day as well, you know,
Speaker 11: it's a lot of nerves because if you train your
Speaker 11: whole life to get to this level where you know
Speaker 11: where God's training to go now, you know, and so
Speaker 11: when you get to this level, man, it's it's the
Speaker 11: best of the best.
Speaker 7: You know, guys are great at this level.
Speaker 4: Man.
Speaker 11: So around this time, Man, it was a lot of emotions. Man,
Speaker 11: it was Man, it was hard to explain. Man, it's anxious, nervous,
Speaker 11: you know, just just what saying. You know, you never
Speaker 11: know if he was gonna get picking out. You know,
Speaker 11: it's different coming from high school to college where you
Speaker 11: get to pick where school you want to go to,
Speaker 11: and but now it's the complete opposite. You know, Teams
Speaker 11: got to see if they like you, you know what
Speaker 11: I'm saying. So I feel like that was that was
Speaker 11: the big difference for me feeling, you know, just coming
Speaker 11: into the drive, you know.
Speaker 7: So, Man, I ended up just being with.
Speaker 11: My family around the time, man up, you know, getting
Speaker 11: the draft house, being with my family, man, being my
Speaker 11: loved ones. I feel like that that really helped, y'all,
Speaker 11: you know, and just talking to my mom, my parents,
Speaker 11: you know, it just been telling me, you know, whatever,
Speaker 11: team get me, Man, just make sure you you go

Speaker 11: round with it, man, you know, take advantage of your opportunities.
Speaker 1: What teams did you meet with? And was the Texans

Speaker 4: So it was short.
Speaker 7: It was short and sweet.
Speaker 4: Man.

Speaker 11: expecting you know, the Houston Houston Teyson is a pick ups.
Speaker 7: Man, pick me.

Speaker 11: around that time, you know, Jacksonville there was you know,
Speaker 11: they was interviewing me a lot, you know, like every day.
