Yeah it 33 00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:32,720 Speaker 2: been that long. Yeah, No, that was last summer already. 34 00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:35,360 Speaker 3: The air was the cause to a gazillion dollars. 35 00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:39,920 Speaker 2: It was not cheap, but between Ireland and England. I'll 36 00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:42,840 Speaker 2: tell you what. All the clips from Ireland that I've 37 00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:46,600 Speaker 2: had in my timeline the last couple of days that 38 00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:49,320 Speaker 2: I was like I could do this, and I was 39 00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:51,160 Speaker 2: telling the girls maybe maybe we figure out a way 40 00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:53,400 Speaker 2: to Ireland for a couple of days during the holidays 41 00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:56,680 Speaker 2: next year, you know, in between all their schooling and 42 00:01:56,720 --> 00:01:57,440 Speaker 2: things like that. 43 00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:00,600 Speaker 3: Tickets more expensive in Ireland to see Taylor Swift more expensive. 44 00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:03,080 Speaker 2: Well here's well, here's the problem is that there's no 45 00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:10,359 Speaker 2: scalping in Ireland, so you no, no, it's it's bad 46 00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:13,320 Speaker 2: because there's no availability. So you either figure out an 47 00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:18,760 Speaker 2: in Unfortunately, through my brother, he did the the work 48 00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:21,760 Speaker 2: with his company and was able to find someone to 49 00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:24,040 Speaker 2: help him out. Uh, and they took care of us 50 00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:26,120 Speaker 2: and we ended up having a wonderful time, met some 51 00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:26,720 Speaker 2: great people. 52 00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:28,480 Speaker 3: How did you sell your car to get tickets? 53 00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:33,359 Speaker 2: Well, not quite, not quite. Some other considerations, but when 54 00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:36,120 Speaker 2: when you get down to it, it's it was just 55 00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:40,480 Speaker 2: the curiosity of there are places where people list tickets. 56 00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:42,960 Speaker 2: But it became a all right, I have to meet you, 57 00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:45,320 Speaker 2: You've got to do this, which it's a whole other thing. 58 00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:48,280 Speaker 3: Would you ever do that for yourself, like pay that 59 00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:51,160 Speaker 3: type of money for a band that you wanted to see? 60 00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:55,480 Speaker 2: Sure, I have the Stones, I've done the Stones. I'm 61 00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:57,400 Speaker 2: a little disappointed.

Yeah? 76 00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:44,240 Speaker 3: No, I wanted to talk about a subject that we 77 00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:46,680 Speaker 3: already brought up, but we missed one part of it. 78 00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:48,280 Speaker 3: And I know you're not going to bring up the 79 00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:49,480 Speaker 3: Kansas City Chiefs again. 80 00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:52,120 Speaker 2: Kansas City Chiefs are going to be somewhat part of 81 00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:56,040 Speaker 2: this discussion, not all kickball perspective. But I was just talking. 82 00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:59,320 Speaker 3: About the all the people talking about the new stadium 83 00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:01,240 Speaker 3: and how it's the gusting and. 84 00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:03,600 Speaker 2: How so that's where I was going, Oh. 85 00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:05,520 Speaker 3: Okay, I'm sorry. Well it set it up, then, baby, 86 00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:07,920 Speaker 3: set it up, because I have definitely thoughts on that, 87 00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:09,280 Speaker 3: no doubt. 88 00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:15,480 Speaker 2: All right, So there there there is our Arnie Spain 89 00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:16,360 Speaker 2: here and another. 90 00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:18,160 Speaker 3: I thought we missed it when we talked about. 91 00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:20,719 Speaker 2: Just shaking his head going what the hell? 92 00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:23,080 Speaker 3: I forgot to shake his head like. 93 00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:28,080 Speaker 2: The way right now, Shay's come on, what Uncle Arney 94 00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:31,600 Speaker 2: just she just took over. This is where John Barenthal, 95 00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:34,440 Speaker 2: one of my favorite memes going around from the Fishes 96 00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:39,320 Speaker 2: episode of What of the Bear where he starts throwing 97 00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:43,080 Speaker 2: forks at Bob Odenkirk get the dinner table. That's exactly 98 00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:44,960 Speaker 2: what I would be doing if we were sitting across 99 00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:45,640 Speaker 2: from each other. 100 00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:48,599 Speaker 3: Okay, well that's probably what you would be doing. I 101 00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:49,200 Speaker 3: have no idea. 102 00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:50,640 Speaker 2: Say what do you what do you think of what 103 00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:52,120 Speaker 2: Uncle Arney did to me just here? 104 00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:55,600 Speaker 3: This was this was an Uncle Arne move? What What 105 00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:56,440 Speaker 3: did I do? 106 00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:56,880 Speaker 2: You mean? 107 00:04:57,279 --> 00:04:59,520 Speaker 3: That's what I I did was moving alog a little 108 00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:01,440 Speaker 3: bit for crist out loud. I'm like, I want to 109 00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:01,960 Speaker 3: bring up this. 110 00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:05,200 Speaker 2: You're the one that takes me off on the exit ramp. 111 00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:07,240 Speaker 3: Yeah, I do that sometimes to go. 112 00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:10,920 Speaker 2: Find something you found in your mapping system that doesn't exist. 113 00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:13,320 Speaker 2: I heard there was a great place to get some 114 00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:16,240 Speaker 2: liquorico over here. Yeah no, no, let's go back to this. 115 00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:19,240 Speaker 2: We're talking about traditions. We're talking about the NFL and 116 00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:22,200 Speaker 2: the changing face and Chase part of this discussion as well, 117 00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:25,839 Speaker 2: because we've got the Kansas City New Stadium, We've got 118 00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:29,679 Speaker 2: the Bears flirting with Indiana and saying, hey, we're willing 119 00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:32,520 Speaker 2: to move right again. We talked about Soldier Field earlier 120 00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:35,240 Speaker 2: in the show, how they don't get any revenue when 121 00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:38,520 Speaker 2: there's a Taylor Swift series of shows and whatever else 122 00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:41,279 Speaker 2: because it's a park district owned. So you have the 123 00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:46,640 Speaker 2: circumstance whereby the Chiefs, the Bears, the Browns are all 124 00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:52,400 Speaker 2: looking to move and get better deals, tax exemptions and monies. 125 00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:55,000 Speaker 2: For the Chiefs. That came out that a lot of 126 00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:58,479 Speaker 2: the revenue would be off a liquor tax. We're still 127 00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:02,920 Speaker 2: talking twenty thirty one could change, but in the interim 128 00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:05,800 Speaker 2: there's there's a lot of hand ringing and madness. Right. 129 00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:11,680 Speaker 2: We saw Mitchell Schwartz Uh. He came out uh and 130 00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:15,360 Speaker 2: and he had uh some some thoughts on it as 131 00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:19,400 Speaker 2: well from his perspective as a player, because part of 132 00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:22,120 Speaker 2: the discussion is that they would lose a lot of 133 00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:26,200 Speaker 2: seating in this process. Not a whole heck of a lot, 134 00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:29,120 Speaker 2: but it's a couple of thousand seats, so it starts 135 00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:31,240 Speaker 2: to add up over an eight games schedule. 136 00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:33,440 Speaker 3: Why are we concerned about that? We're not the owners. 137 00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:35,359 Speaker 3: We don't concern about the money that's going to go 138 00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:37,120 Speaker 3: in his pocket. 139 00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:40,080 Speaker 2: But that's the thing, right, and this is where we 140 00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:43,240 Speaker 2: start straddling the line. Look in the way of progress 141 00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:47,680 Speaker 2: business to keep your team moving forward. And for the 142 00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:52,080 Speaker 2: stewart we always talk about good stewards. Everybody complains in baseball, 143 00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:55,000 Speaker 2: nobody spending money to compete with the Dodgers. It's unfair. 144 00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:59,679 Speaker 2: They built an organization, organization and a structure that everybody 145 00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:03,040 Speaker 2: would to have, but you need the initial capital. Here's 146 00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:06,000 Speaker 2: what Mitchell Schwartz had to say, Clark Hunt and what 147 00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:09,120 Speaker 2: will happen with the change in stadium. Quote, they can 148 00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:10,720 Speaker 2: do what they want, but acting like it's in the 149 00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:13,320 Speaker 2: best interest in the fans and then taking thousands of 150 00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:15,920 Speaker 2: seats away from them and making more of the remaining 151 00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:18,640 Speaker 2: into switets and high end seating is the last thing 152 00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:23,000 Speaker 2: the fan base wants or needs. Well, that's the question why. 153 00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:25,080 Speaker 2: It makes a good point there, but to a point, 154 00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:28,280 Speaker 2: to a point. But again, it's it's their toy, Mike. 155 00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:30,280 Speaker 2: If they want to wrap it or paint it, or 156 00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:32,440 Speaker 2: rip an arm off like we used to when you'd 157 00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:35,040 Speaker 2: lose a lightsaber fight, that's the way it goes. 158 00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:39,000 Speaker 3: Mike. You went to Northwestern. I'm surprised you've not brought 159 00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:42,360 Speaker 3: this up already. Forget about football, for just a second. 160 00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:46,720 Speaker 3: If you were a mayor, a senator, a congressman, whatever 161 00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:50,400 Speaker 3: you are, and you're a politician, and I said, why 162 00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:52,080 Speaker 3: should I vote for you? The first thing you're get 163 00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:54,320 Speaker 3: to say is, well, I want to make the economy better. 164 00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:57,160 Speaker 3: I want to create more jobs, you know, I want 165 00:07:57,200 --> 00:07:58,920 Speaker 3: to do something like that. Isn't that what this is 166 00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:03,200 Speaker 3: doing is creating more jobs, you know, bringing an economy 167 00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:08,760 Speaker 3: to your area, bringing you know, restaurants and hotels, and 168 00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:11,800 Speaker 3: people are gonna come there and spend there, and you're 169 00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:15,680 Speaker 3: gonna have construction work and people will have money and 170 00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:17,480 Speaker 3: and go to where. It is not what you want 171 00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:20,720 Speaker 3: to begin with if you're just you know, fans living 172 00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:23,480 Speaker 3: there before even talk about what the chiefs owner is 173 00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:24,480 Speaker 3: gonna get out of this thing. 174 00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:28,320 Speaker 2: Well, but that's the thing, right if you're a politician, Yeah, 175 00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:32,679 Speaker 2: it's not about the chiefs. No, you're selling economic progress, 176 00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:33,480 Speaker 2: which is good. 177 00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:37,120 Speaker 3: So why why wouldn't the people want the same thing. 178 00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:39,720 Speaker 3: Why wouldn't the people that live there go, yeah, we'll 179 00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:42,720 Speaker 3: build a new stadium. Now, maybe the owner is getting 180 00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:46,520 Speaker 3: a little too much compensation. I could certainly understand that 181 00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:50,079 Speaker 3: they're saying that the money that he's putting in gets 182 00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:54,280 Speaker 3: to go to uh you know, uh improvements later on 183 00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:58,720 Speaker 3: and stuff like that. But but besides that, though there's 184 00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:01,720 Speaker 3: he owns the team. You know he could move the team. 185 00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:04,040 Speaker 3: You want them to stay. You want him to bring 186 00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:08,319 Speaker 3: that economic lift to your area. So I'm always surprised 187 00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:10,559 Speaker 3: when people are like, no, no, we're giving it too much. 188 00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:12,520 Speaker 3: We're giving it too much. Yeah, you don't want to 189 00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:15,600 Speaker 3: raise taxes and you don't want to use tax paying dollars, 190 00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:17,800 Speaker 3: but you do have to use tax paying dollars to 191 00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:20,240 Speaker 3: go ahead and keep the economy moving and to bring 192 00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:22,880 Speaker 3: in new businesses. And you know when you bring in 193 00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:25,360 Speaker 3: like a Google or an app or do they you 194 00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:29,200 Speaker 3: don't think they get special discounts and taxes and all 195 00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:31,240 Speaker 3: the tax excepted and all that stuff. 196 00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:35,040 Speaker 2: Take Arnie to what we were dealing with here in 197 00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:39,160 Speaker 2: the greater area of Los Angeles and up and down 198 00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:43,640 Speaker 2: the coast. Yeah, they're losing tons of what was a 199 00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:48,319 Speaker 2: burgeoning movie business right yes to Canada. 200 00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:48,920 Speaker 3: Yeah. 201 00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:50,640 Speaker 2: I had a lot of productions moved to Canada. A 202 00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:54,800 Speaker 2: lot of productions moved to Georgia. Uh and anywhere where 203 00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:56,080 Speaker 2: the land is cheap. 204 00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:58,440 Speaker 3: If you used to be Arizona and something out. Yeah, 205 00:09:58,520 --> 00:09:59,920 Speaker 3: Old West, a lot of Westerns. 206 00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:01,800 Speaker 2: But that's just it. You got a lot of states 207 00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:04,320 Speaker 2: that say, hey, you can come shoot here. Right, Chicago 208 00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:07,120 Speaker 2: as a city and you back backdrop for Batman and such. 209 00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:11,240 Speaker 2: New York certainly shows up a lot. Uh, and yeah, 210 00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:14,040 Speaker 2: you can do that on the back lots here. But 211 00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:17,760 Speaker 2: when you're talking about getting huge tax incentives to come 212 00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:20,240 Speaker 2: and do your production somewhere else, it's hard to look 213 00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:22,720 Speaker 2: away from, right. And that's and that's a lot of 214 00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:26,040 Speaker 2: the union fight right now in Los Angeles when we 215 00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:30,240 Speaker 2: start talking about you know, the different guilds because they're 216 00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:32,880 Speaker 2: losing a lot of work, a lot of hours, right 217 00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:35,480 Speaker 2: that are that go that are going into other states. 218 00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:37,920 Speaker 2: And when we talk about an economy that runs on 219 00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:41,440 Speaker 2: a lot of the movie magic and that upkeep, that 220 00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:42,760 Speaker 2: becomes a problem, you know. 221 00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:45,720 Speaker 3: And I'm surprised Mitchell Schwartz talks about how well they're 222 00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:47,800 Speaker 3: gonna have less seats, so that's taken away from the 223 00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:50,640 Speaker 3: real fans, and they're gonna have more you know, upper 224 00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:54,400 Speaker 3: echelon type seats and uh, you know, more expensive seating 225 00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:56,160 Speaker 3: and stuff like that. Well, it's going to be a 226 00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:57,760 Speaker 3: dome though, is it not? Is it not gonna be 227 00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:00,320 Speaker 3: more comfortable? Is it's not gonna have more men these 228 00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:01,120 Speaker 3: for the fans? 229 00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:05,000 Speaker 2: But the point that he's making is what would be 230 00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:09,360 Speaker 2: the equivalent of the three hundred levels? Right? Those fans. 231 00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:11,760 Speaker 2: A lot of those folks are losing their seats. So 232 00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:14,360 Speaker 2: I understand that to a point. Right, if you're a 233 00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:19,319 Speaker 2: lifetime and certainly anybody that's ever been in for any 234 00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:23,520 Speaker 2: portion or a full season ticket package, there come times 235 00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:24,960 Speaker 2: where it's like, all right, we need to move you, 236 00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:28,320 Speaker 2: we need to change you. You brought up Northwestern. They're moving 237 00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:29,240 Speaker 2: into a new facility. 238 00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:30,960 Speaker 3: I was about to say, you do you not want 239 00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:33,800 Speaker 3: that new facility, Mike? Do you prefer to be in 240 00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:37,160 Speaker 3: an older city where you can't recruit is as good 241 00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:40,319 Speaker 3: as the other schools because your facility is not as nice. 242 00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:43,120 Speaker 3: So your stadium is not as nice as the other schools. 243 00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:45,199 Speaker 2: Yeah, And that's the point. It doesn't need to have 244 00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:50,880 Speaker 2: maximum capacity, right, some huge, monolithic kind of structure, right, 245 00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:53,800 Speaker 2: but you've got to be updated. And as much as 246 00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:57,360 Speaker 2: I love Dyke Stadium and going to the bowels of 247 00:11:57,400 --> 00:12:01,640 Speaker 2: that place, it's old, it's antiquated, and it's not I mean, one, 248 00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:04,960 Speaker 2: it's still not gonna be on campus regardless, but you're 249 00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:08,440 Speaker 2: looking at a facility that was outdated. The weight room 250 00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:09,160 Speaker 2: was outdated. 251 00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:09,400 Speaker 4: You know. 252 00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:11,760 Speaker 3: That's why I said that about UCLA. I think they 253 00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:15,560 Speaker 3: I know, people say it's impossible because it's the whole 254 00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:18,040 Speaker 3: Beverly Hills thing, but they have to figure out how 255 00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:21,480 Speaker 3: to get a stadium on campus otherwise it's not going 256 00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:23,840 Speaker 3: to be as as good as the other schools they 257 00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:26,480 Speaker 3: you know, where Drake Stadium is up there in UCLA, 258 00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:29,240 Speaker 3: where the track is. They got to figure it out 259 00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:31,520 Speaker 3: otherwise they're going to be in trouble. It's too far 260 00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:32,480 Speaker 3: to go to Pasadena. 261 00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:34,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, and some of it is trying to 262 00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:36,840 Speaker 2: decide where you are in the packing order and where 263 00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:40,439 Speaker 2: you stand. For a Northwestern you're hoping that every now 264 00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:44,400 Speaker 2: and again things ring together to where you can go 265 00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:47,800 Speaker 2: on a run. And they had a fantastic season overall. 266 00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:51,040 Speaker 2: And the way this plant played out under the current 267 00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:55,400 Speaker 2: coach and administration and everything, Pat Fitzgerald re enters the 268 00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:55,959 Speaker 2: fray over it. 269 00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:58,079 Speaker 3: I love that guy. I think Michigan State did a 270 00:12:58,080 --> 00:12:59,120 Speaker 3: great higher the well. 271 00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:01,520 Speaker 2: And they also got the best benefit of someone dropped 272 00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:04,560 Speaker 2: three hundred million dollars on the athletic department, Yes, four 273 00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:07,680 Speaker 2: hundred overall. Right, But when we talk about Ron and 274 00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:10,840 Speaker 2: what they've done with the Northwestern squad, you're hoping for 275 00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:14,000 Speaker 2: the against the hope of all hopes, that one the 276 00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:17,560 Speaker 2: schedule is in your favor, i e. You're not staring 277 00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:22,800 Speaker 2: at Michigan, Ohio State Oregon in the same season, right, 278 00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:27,320 Speaker 2: because generally we can say with your going one and 279 00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:31,600 Speaker 2: two at best most years, almost all years, right right, 280 00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:34,559 Speaker 2: I mean I always thought Northwestern Stanford and teams like that, 281 00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:37,920 Speaker 2: Notre Dame, even to a lesser degree, not that I 282 00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:38,319 Speaker 2: lived in. 283 00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:41,000 Speaker 3: Chicago when they made that run. How many years ago 284 00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:43,040 Speaker 3: was it when they won the uh. 285 00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:45,320 Speaker 2: When you're going back to the Rose Bowl year? Yeah, yeah, 286 00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:47,480 Speaker 2: that was the year after my I graduated. 287 00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:51,720 Speaker 3: Geez am, I that old damn Yeah, I was living 288 00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:52,840 Speaker 3: in Chicago back then. 289 00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:55,560 Speaker 2: There you go, so all the way back in the 290 00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:58,559 Speaker 2: way back machine for Arnie. But the point being schools 291 00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:01,440 Speaker 2: like that, you know, it's the perfect storm or in 292 00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:04,280 Speaker 2: this case, as the rules really became a kangaroo court 293 00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:08,040 Speaker 2: of what the hell's legal? What isn't that you would 294 00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:11,160 Speaker 2: take advantage of it and activate your alumni base, many 295 00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:13,280 Speaker 2: of whom have large pocketbooks. 296 00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:15,640 Speaker 3: Yes they do, right, because we've. 297 00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:19,120 Speaker 2: Seen coaches in the middle of introductory press conference saying, 298 00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:20,680 Speaker 2: we just need one guy to right a twenty million 299 00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:23,200 Speaker 2: dollar check, right, I mean we saw that last week. 300 00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:24,680 Speaker 3: Are Mike Carmen to cut a check? 301 00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:26,000 Speaker 2: Right? Uh? 302 00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:27,720 Speaker 3: Huh sure? 303 00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:33,120 Speaker 2: But just that idea of you have an opportunity to 304 00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:35,320 Speaker 2: go change the game and put it in your favor 305 00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:37,720 Speaker 2: for a little bit, right the George Clooney speech from 306 00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:41,040 Speaker 2: Ocean's eleven. At one time, when you have the opportunity 307 00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:44,680 Speaker 2: to take the house, you had them big kind of thing, right, 308 00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:49,440 Speaker 2: I'm obviously paraphrasing, but you know, and then he forced 309 00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:52,040 Speaker 2: the speech according to Brad Pitt, But it's just that 310 00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:56,320 Speaker 2: because you're recognizing that most years you're playing for the 311 00:14:56,320 --> 00:15:00,440 Speaker 2: middle and hoping the ball bounces your way one or 312 00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:03,480 Speaker 2: two more times to get you over UCLA probably in 313 00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:06,800 Speaker 2: that same boat. So it becomes a question of investment. 314 00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:12,080 Speaker 2: And certainly, look the Northwestern so far, so you know, 315 00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:13,800 Speaker 2: which is great, Let's add another team. 316 00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:15,880 Speaker 3: It's so fi well, but you could do what you 317 00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:17,680 Speaker 3: can do it then, you know, I mean, it might 318 00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:19,560 Speaker 3: not be ideal, but it's. 319 00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:21,800 Speaker 2: Such short term, long term whatever you need to do. 320 00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:24,880 Speaker 2: I mean, you decide, you know where the valuation is 321 00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:26,880 Speaker 2: on it. You got a new coach coming in in Chesney. 322 00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:30,240 Speaker 2: You just made a big run and maybe you can 323 00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:33,360 Speaker 2: jump start things and get folks from being ham handed 324 00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:36,480 Speaker 2: as they've been. But just that point of trying to 325 00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:39,080 Speaker 2: take the shot. I mean with Northwestern, the stadium that's 326 00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:42,240 Speaker 2: being built is the house Fitzgerald built right where. 327 00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:44,359 Speaker 3: They get all the money. Was that all alumni built. 328 00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:47,120 Speaker 2: For Tea and Pat Ryan and folks that have been 329 00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:53,200 Speaker 2: around the organization and the school forever. So pockets, very 330 00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:57,120 Speaker 2: deep pockets, very deep pockets, and that's kind of where 331 00:15:57,120 --> 00:16:00,200 Speaker 2: we're at in the collegiate world. But for the professional mean, 332 00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:02,800 Speaker 2: you're trying to figure out how do you get that 333 00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:07,240 Speaker 2: organizational next step forward?

I mean, obviously they're not happy about that. 348 00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:51,880 Speaker 3: They'd rather have a new stadium and you know, keep 349 00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:54,640 Speaker 3: the team, then lose the team and not have a stadium. 350 00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:54,840 Speaker 3: You know. 351 00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:57,440 Speaker 2: Well, and that's the question, right, you're trying to be 352 00:16:57,720 --> 00:17:02,000 Speaker 2: good fiscally financially and where the votes are. I mean 353 00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:04,760 Speaker 2: in San Diego they voted repeatedly and it never won. 354 00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:05,960 Speaker 3: No, it never won. 355 00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:07,800 Speaker 2: Now it's a question of how you phrase it, what 356 00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:11,120 Speaker 2: you settle on, and how you put all that together. 357 00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:16,320 Speaker 2: But in the end, it wasn't the most pressing consideration 358 00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:19,119 Speaker 2: in terms of how they wanted to use public money. 359 00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:21,879 Speaker 2: And that's the other part, right, how much of a 360 00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:27,080 Speaker 2: fixture to your city in its identity is your football team? 361 00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:30,480 Speaker 3: Well, the Rams owner used a lot of his own money, right, Well. 362 00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:31,719 Speaker 2: But that's the thing, right, and build it so far. 363 00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:33,640 Speaker 2: I mean that that was privately done so. 364 00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:35,359 Speaker 3: But he got the people out of the profit. 365 00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:37,440 Speaker 2: Oh no, there's no question. There's a bunch of tax 366 00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:41,160 Speaker 2: incentives and whatever for doing so. But it's so when 367 00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:45,200 Speaker 2: Taylor sells out a week at SOFI or Sabrina Carpenter 368 00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:49,120 Speaker 2: or Olivia Rodrigo or any of these people, he's making 369 00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:51,919 Speaker 2: money hand over fist and the Chargers continue to pay 370 00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:55,080 Speaker 2: him rent.

How about this and that player that was 431 00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:55,440 Speaker 2: drafted in twenty twenty three to the NBA Draft twenty 432 00:20:56,280 --> 00:21:00,960 Speaker 2: twenty three is now eligible to go back to school 433 00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:03,680 Speaker 2: to where he has four years of eligibility and he's 434 00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:06,560 Speaker 2: gonna go and become a member of the Baylor Bears. 435 00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:12,199 Speaker 2: How about this. So he's drafted, he gets traded, he 436 00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:16,000 Speaker 2: gets picked, he gets traded, he gets traded again, Pistons 437 00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:20,320 Speaker 2: to Hornets to the Knicks, never signed an NBA contract. 438 00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:22,920 Speaker 2: He's played basketball overseas. 439 00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:24,400 Speaker 3: Yeah, he played overseas. 440 00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:26,720 Speaker 2: But now he's able to at the age of twenty one, 441 00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:30,640 Speaker 2: the right old age of twenty one, he's able to decide, 442 00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:33,400 Speaker 2: you know what, I'm gonna go to college the nil world. 443 00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:35,480 Speaker 2: And we've talked about this a lot as related to 444 00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:40,920 Speaker 2: quarterbacks and other skill positions in football of the changing face. 445 00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:44,040 Speaker 2: But I gotta imagine in basketball it'll be even more pronounced, 446 00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:46,960 Speaker 2: right because if you don't get one of those coveted 447 00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:50,040 Speaker 2: first round draft projections and slots, you don't have a 448 00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:53,160 Speaker 2: guaranteed contract, right, which means you probably don't have any 449 00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:56,320 Speaker 2: guaranteed playing time, and you may toil for a couple 450 00:21:56,320 --> 00:21:59,280 Speaker 2: of years before you cycle out, maybe never getting an 451 00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:02,479 Speaker 2: opportunity to really breakthrough on a squad. Right, we talk 452 00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:05,680 Speaker 2: about the quarterbacks that are drafted in the first round 453 00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:08,080 Speaker 2: and then have the opportunity maybe to get a second bite, 454 00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:11,000 Speaker 2: third byte, fourth But hey, I finally find that offensive 455 00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:13,960 Speaker 2: genius that makes me look good. Tada here I am. 456 00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:22,520 Speaker 2: But for this situation, for the for James Nausey, it 457 00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:26,000 Speaker 2: is now a very curious circumstance, and the door is 458 00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:29,199 Speaker 2: open to guys like, well, if you didn't sign a 459 00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:32,639 Speaker 2: deal and never really got offered a contract, right you 460 00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:34,480 Speaker 2: got in and brought in for a workout, you got 461 00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:37,480 Speaker 2: drafted all of that stuff because normally you signed with 462 00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:40,240 Speaker 2: an agent right away and that's done. Well, even that 463 00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:47,679 Speaker 2: seems like an arcane piece of NCAA legislation of yesteryear. 464 00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:50,160 Speaker 2: I think the doors are wide open, right, come on. 465 00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:53,720 Speaker 3: In look twenty one. I'm okay with. But the fact 466 00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:57,280 Speaker 3: that he was already drafted, that he did play overseas. 467 00:22:57,880 --> 00:22:59,520 Speaker 3: Forget about whether he said and he did play it 468 00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:01,320 Speaker 3: in the sub league, forget about if you signed the 469 00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:04,800 Speaker 3: contract or anything. This is not what college basketball is 470 00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:07,280 Speaker 3: made out to be. And there's a trickle down effect 471 00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:09,760 Speaker 3: to this, Mike. I mean, you get more of these 472 00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:14,320 Speaker 3: twenty four, twenty five, twenty six year olds, or these 473 00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:17,200 Speaker 3: kids that are staying around for a fifth and six 474 00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:20,480 Speaker 3: year because of the nil Well, you know, that means 475 00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:23,880 Speaker 3: very little freshmen are going to get playing time, which 476 00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:28,120 Speaker 3: mean high school seniors don't get recruited as much as 477 00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:29,879 Speaker 3: they used to back in the day. And it's a 478 00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:33,360 Speaker 3: trickle down effect and it really is killing the high 479 00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:35,080 Speaker 3: school kids and a lot of them are gonna have 480 00:23:35,080 --> 00:23:36,920 Speaker 3: to end to play in D three. Not that there's 481 00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:39,320 Speaker 3: anything wrong with that, but I just think this is 482 00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:44,360 Speaker 3: too too much. Once you sign a contract, once you're drafted, 483 00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:47,719 Speaker 3: you play in the summer league, you play overseas. I 484 00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:48,680 Speaker 3: think that's enough. 485 00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:48,960 Speaker 2: Man. 486 00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:51,479 Speaker 3: You shouldn't be able to go back to college and 487 00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:54,959 Speaker 3: do it just because you want nil money. You're not 488 00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:57,840 Speaker 3: doing it for a degree or anything. So I think 489 00:23:57,840 --> 00:23:59,919 Speaker 3: it's too much, and we've gone a little too far, 490 00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:03,080 Speaker 3: are you. But but again, it's going to be happening 491 00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:03,879 Speaker 3: more and more, you know. 492 00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:06,800 Speaker 2: Well, but that's the thing, right, whenever we start getting 493 00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:10,440 Speaker 2: that pesky thing called education back in and the old 494 00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:14,760 Speaker 2: student athletes. Well, but it's it's the dirty little word 495 00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:17,720 Speaker 2: at this point, right, it's no longer uh you know, 496 00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:20,520 Speaker 2: you say go back and get nil. Well, at this 497 00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:24,159 Speaker 2: point your professional basketball players on some level, whether we 498 00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:28,080 Speaker 2: still call it, under the auspices of college basketball and 499 00:24:28,119 --> 00:24:31,879 Speaker 2: with education still being in the background. Now, that doesn't 500 00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:33,919 Speaker 2: mean that a lot of these guys and women that 501 00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:37,960 Speaker 2: are playing don't go on and work through their education, 502 00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:40,840 Speaker 2: get their degrees, get some substantive. 503 00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:42,080 Speaker 3: If they were worried about it, they would have stayed 504 00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:43,560 Speaker 3: in school if they were worried about. 505 00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:45,239 Speaker 2: Well, no, no, but here's the thing, aren't You can 506 00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:47,960 Speaker 2: always go back. I can go get a degree starting 507 00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:50,280 Speaker 2: tonight in my underwear from home. I don't have to 508 00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:53,280 Speaker 2: step foot in the classroom, so I never have to walk. No, 509 00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:55,760 Speaker 2: but but that's the point. But that, but that's the 510 00:24:55,800 --> 00:24:57,800 Speaker 2: point of where we're at in this process. You can 511 00:24:57,840 --> 00:24:59,679 Speaker 2: always go back. Right. A lot of love guys have 512 00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:02,320 Speaker 2: gone act because they promised their moms or whatever, but 513 00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:04,840 Speaker 2: they go and do their pro career first. In this case, 514 00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:06,880 Speaker 2: it became a I don't want to live overseas. 515 00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:09,240 Speaker 3: I want money is what I want. 516 00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:10,800 Speaker 2: Well, when I found a loophole. I can go back 517 00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:12,840 Speaker 2: to college and maybe I get a little bit of training, 518 00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:15,320 Speaker 2: maybe I take a couple of classes. But again, that 519 00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:18,840 Speaker 2: doesn't seem to be as nearly the sticking point that 520 00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:22,680 Speaker 2: it once was in terms of maintaining eligibility. Now can 521 00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:25,639 Speaker 2: he get redrafted? That's where does do his right stay 522 00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:28,600 Speaker 2: with the Knicks? Uh? And when he decides to come 523 00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:30,720 Speaker 2: back or when when it gets to that point again. 524 00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:33,840 Speaker 2: But short term, when we're talking about you know, the 525 00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:36,959 Speaker 2: trend the last couple of years. It happened during COVID 526 00:25:37,280 --> 00:25:40,080 Speaker 2: or suddenly he had extra years of evailability, right, it took. 527 00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:41,960 Speaker 3: It really took hurt the high school kids. 528 00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:45,200 Speaker 2: So yeah, so it changed for a lot of schools. 529 00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:48,200 Speaker 2: It became about, all right, we need veterans. And we'd 530 00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:50,520 Speaker 2: always talked about it in the terms of guard play 531 00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:53,480 Speaker 2: for sure, right, you always wanted at least one of your. 532 00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:55,600 Speaker 3: Team transfer portal is a big thing now. 533 00:25:55,800 --> 00:25:58,440 Speaker 2: Well and now that's the next level, right between that 534 00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:02,600 Speaker 2: and sticking around because you're gonna make more money at 535 00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:06,120 Speaker 2: of Kentucky a duke you know, insert school here, Arizona, 536 00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:10,080 Speaker 2: and then you will as a end of the bench 537 00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:14,800 Speaker 2: guy for we take the Timberwolves, take the Charlotte Hornets, 538 00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:17,199 Speaker 2: take some of these other teams. Right, just go on 539 00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:19,880 Speaker 2: down the NBA guys that don't get off the bench. Wait, 540 00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:22,720 Speaker 2: I can go make a couple million dollars playing college 541 00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:26,640 Speaker 2: ball and be around college people, et cetera. I mean, 542 00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:28,720 Speaker 2: it's a no brainer for a lot of these guys. 543 00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:30,800 Speaker 3: Well, is it all about the money? Is that what 544 00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:33,280 Speaker 3: we're talking about here? Is it a long term solution? 545 00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:35,600 Speaker 3: I mean, yeah, you're gonna go for the money grab 546 00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:39,960 Speaker 3: for the next year, maybe two. But you know, the NBA, 547 00:26:40,359 --> 00:26:42,399 Speaker 3: you know, you want to be able to not make 548 00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:45,280 Speaker 3: sure you didn't leave a good situation, a good team, 549 00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:48,000 Speaker 3: something that you were gonna grow with just because you 550 00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:50,960 Speaker 3: were getting a million dollars less. That's the short term 551 00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:51,760 Speaker 3: thinking there. Mind. 552 00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:55,159 Speaker 2: Well, but it's also the you also have to recognize 553 00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:56,800 Speaker 2: who and what you are. And we all have this 554 00:26:56,880 --> 00:27:00,000 Speaker 2: problem no matter what you do, relationship wise, family wise, 555 00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:04,400 Speaker 2: his job wise. You know, recognizing you know, what you 556 00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:06,600 Speaker 2: think of yourself may not be with the room things, 557 00:27:06,920 --> 00:27:10,400 Speaker 2: what the industry thinks, what the person sitting across the dinner. 558 00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:12,440 Speaker 3: See, not everybody thinks something. The best talk show host, 559 00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:13,640 Speaker 3: what are you talking about mine? 560 00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:18,359 Speaker 2: Eight seven at stick a genius one at Fox Sports, 561 00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:23,160 Speaker 2: Radiote swallowed Dome. But just the idea that you recognize 562 00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:25,640 Speaker 2: where you're at the in the pantheon of things. Right, 563 00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:27,960 Speaker 2: you're going to be a second round pick. Well, you 564 00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:31,080 Speaker 2: hide in school and by high to just say you 565 00:27:31,119 --> 00:27:33,360 Speaker 2: stay in school another year, take your il and move 566 00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:36,360 Speaker 2: you actually get to school too. 567 00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:38,200 Speaker 3: Yeah. How much of a difference do you think he'll 568 00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:39,600 Speaker 3: make well? 569 00:27:39,640 --> 00:27:42,359 Speaker 2: And that that remains to be seen, but clearly it 570 00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:44,480 Speaker 2: was a guy good enough to get drafted and the 571 00:27:44,560 --> 00:27:47,479 Speaker 2: Knicks decided they at least wanted his rights. Yeah, and 572 00:27:47,520 --> 00:27:49,480 Speaker 2: this is where it goes back from many a year 573 00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:53,760 Speaker 2: where you had scouts and people in personnel being sent 574 00:27:53,840 --> 00:27:57,600 Speaker 2: overseas to scout guys that never came to the States. Right, 575 00:27:57,600 --> 00:27:59,960 Speaker 2: how many draft picks were there for the Spurs the Bowl. 576 00:28:00,760 --> 00:28:03,000 Speaker 2: I'll just take those two teams of guys who were 577 00:28:03,080 --> 00:28:05,440 Speaker 2: drafted there you got their rookie card and then did 578 00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:08,480 Speaker 2: that guy ever come to the States. Nope? They had 579 00:28:08,520 --> 00:28:11,960 Speaker 2: his rights though. That's great, and it because it's a 580 00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:14,520 Speaker 2: first round pick, or maybe it was an early second 581 00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:18,040 Speaker 2: round pick or whatever, but now it's it becomes the 582 00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:20,240 Speaker 2: if I can stay in school and make that money. 583 00:28:20,320 --> 00:28:23,920 Speaker 2: I mean, look at the quarterback, the transfer portal guys 584 00:28:23,960 --> 00:28:27,679 Speaker 2: that would have been, and you're like, wait, i can 585 00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:31,280 Speaker 2: make three million dollars and I'm probably a fifth round 586 00:28:31,280 --> 00:28:35,240 Speaker 2: pick if I go to the not everybody, no, no, no, 587 00:28:35,280 --> 00:28:37,240 Speaker 2: but just just to put it out as something like, 588 00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:41,320 Speaker 2: look at what Underwood just made. He may he may 589 00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:44,400 Speaker 2: ever be well, he may ever be an NFL player, 590 00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:47,800 Speaker 2: but well he got paid. 591 00:28:47,560 --> 00:28:50,320 Speaker 3: Coming in, coming in as a freshman, he was considered 592 00:28:50,360 --> 00:28:53,120 Speaker 3: a first rounder, and he may still get there. 593 00:28:53,200 --> 00:28:55,080 Speaker 2: Right, It's all short sighted. Right, It's like we were 594 00:28:55,120 --> 00:28:58,520 Speaker 2: talking about before in terms of gestation period, allowing a 595 00:28:58,560 --> 00:28:59,040 Speaker 2: guy to draw. 596 00:28:59,240 --> 00:29:01,520 Speaker 3: You're giving all this money away. Arch Manning had to 597 00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:02,760 Speaker 3: give back some of his money. 598 00:29:02,840 --> 00:29:06,120 Speaker 2: Well, he decided to give back the money. He didn't 599 00:29:06,160 --> 00:29:07,280 Speaker 2: have to give back a dime. 600 00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:08,840 Speaker 3: Well he did, though. 601 00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:11,800 Speaker 2: No, but he's also trying to look like the good guy. 602 00:29:12,200 --> 00:29:14,480 Speaker 2: Here's a lot of poison pens on him for the 603 00:29:14,520 --> 00:29:16,960 Speaker 2: course of the year. Where what do you do you 604 00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:20,080 Speaker 2: try to buy back some of that public public fund. 605 00:29:20,120 --> 00:29:22,160 Speaker 2: I mean, look at Tom Brady. The perception for a 606 00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:24,480 Speaker 2: lot of years it was like the guy was walking 607 00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:27,800 Speaker 2: in and you know, needing people to give him a sandwich. 608 00:29:28,360 --> 00:29:31,240 Speaker 2: He was still making good money. He still made a 609 00:29:31,240 --> 00:29:32,800 Speaker 2: lot of money in his career, and for a long 610 00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:35,480 Speaker 2: time he was married to a woman who, for walking 611 00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:38,200 Speaker 2: once a year, was making fifty million dollars a year. 612 00:29:38,560 --> 00:29:40,560 Speaker 2: I don't begrudge her a dime of it, but I'm 613 00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:43,000 Speaker 2: just saying he was a guy that everybody would be like, 614 00:29:43,040 --> 00:29:44,920 Speaker 2: look at what he did for the team. Arch Manning's 615 00:29:44,920 --> 00:29:46,440 Speaker 2: looking for a little bit of that good will. 616 00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:48,800 Speaker 3: By the way, I love the Tom Brady story. They 617 00:29:48,800 --> 00:29:50,640 Speaker 3: played that. They said the other day about how he 618 00:29:50,680 --> 00:29:54,600 Speaker 3: brought his offensive linemen all luxury vehicles, but he didn't 619 00:29:54,600 --> 00:29:56,960 Speaker 3: tell them they were all one year leases they had 620 00:29:57,000 --> 00:29:58,760 Speaker 3: to give He had to give them bags. 621 00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:01,040 Speaker 2: Well, I mean, look, you got I read the fine print, 622 00:30:01,160 --> 00:30:01,840 Speaker 2: and you doing. 623 00:30:01,720 --> 00:30:04,320 Speaker 3: Like that's not giving him a car. 624 00:30:04,400 --> 00:30:07,120 Speaker 2: Come on, man, We'll talk about gifts and the good, 625 00:30:07,160 --> 00:30:10,360 Speaker 2: the bad, the ugly, because across the NFL there's a 626 00:30:10,400 --> 00:30:13,040 Speaker 2: metal stand for sure.

A very curious case that found its way 697 00:33:27,440 --> 00:33:30,560 Speaker 2: to the back page of the post. We'll discuss that 698 00:33:30,640 --> 00:33:33,640 Speaker 2: as we wrap up shop.

If you spy anything in the 725 00:34:37,600 --> 00:34:41,200 Speaker 2: sporting universe that tickles your fancy, we always have our 726 00:34:41,239 --> 00:34:45,360 Speaker 2: eyes on the world, as it were, for the sports 727 00:34:45,400 --> 00:34:48,799 Speaker 2: and entertainment cross section. But there was a story I 728 00:34:48,880 --> 00:34:52,040 Speaker 2: found earlier that really just kind of said it all, 729 00:34:52,360 --> 00:34:55,239 Speaker 2: and it surrounded the New York Football Jets. Yes, even 730 00:34:55,280 --> 00:34:58,440 Speaker 2: with Jason Smith not here. We get into the Jets 731 00:34:58,840 --> 00:35:03,080 Speaker 2: and they had a kicking contest, right one of these things. 732 00:35:03,200 --> 00:35:08,680 Speaker 2: You're you're in the the bowels of the stadium, you know, 733 00:35:08,719 --> 00:35:11,840 Speaker 2: the periphery where they set up the Carnie games and 734 00:35:11,840 --> 00:35:13,680 Speaker 2: and try to sell your credit cards by giving you 735 00:35:13,719 --> 00:35:16,480 Speaker 2: a tote bag and all those kind of things. They 736 00:35:16,560 --> 00:35:20,040 Speaker 2: had a deal in Long Island. Super Fan is how 737 00:35:20,080 --> 00:35:23,120 Speaker 2: she's termed chance to kick a field goal at halftime 738 00:35:23,160 --> 00:35:25,680 Speaker 2: at this Sunday's game to win one hundred thousand. 739 00:35:25,400 --> 00:35:29,200 Speaker 3: Dollars about this Ashley GERVAISI. 740 00:35:29,120 --> 00:35:31,440 Speaker 2: She goes and her dad was a Jets fan. He 741 00:35:31,600 --> 00:35:35,040 Speaker 2: since passed, so you know, get the violin out when 742 00:35:35,040 --> 00:35:37,920 Speaker 2: they add those details to it all. But was told 743 00:35:37,960 --> 00:35:42,239 Speaker 2: that the kick to Cash competition would not include her 744 00:35:42,880 --> 00:35:48,640 Speaker 2: because she's a high school soccer coach. So she was 745 00:35:48,840 --> 00:35:51,719 Speaker 2: kicking during a tailgate event back in September. 746 00:35:51,800 --> 00:35:53,560 Speaker 3: But she did play in college though, did she not? 747 00:35:53,680 --> 00:35:57,040 Speaker 2: She played college? Yes, she played Division one soccer and 748 00:35:57,080 --> 00:35:58,560 Speaker 2: now she's a soccer coach. 749 00:35:59,040 --> 00:35:59,239 Speaker 3: Right. 750 00:35:59,760 --> 00:36:01,799 Speaker 2: At at some point, you fill out a form and 751 00:36:01,880 --> 00:36:04,560 Speaker 2: you check some boxes. Right, so even if you get 752 00:36:04,560 --> 00:36:08,560 Speaker 2: through the preliminaries before the end game, everybody's going to 753 00:36:08,640 --> 00:36:10,800 Speaker 2: go back and look at those forms that she was upfront. 754 00:36:10,920 --> 00:36:12,600 Speaker 3: She was upfront, not honus with them. 755 00:36:13,040 --> 00:36:16,000 Speaker 2: Well, and that's where the rub is, right. Does their 756 00:36:16,040 --> 00:36:20,160 Speaker 2: heart grow three sizes like the Grinch before Sunday? Or 757 00:36:20,239 --> 00:36:23,920 Speaker 2: do they ban it? They said they never mentioned anything 758 00:36:23,960 --> 00:36:26,880 Speaker 2: about banning coaches. She had told them she was the 759 00:36:26,880 --> 00:36:30,640 Speaker 2: Division one soccer player. Quote that was life changing money 760 00:36:30,680 --> 00:36:32,880 Speaker 2: for me. I was confident I could make it. And 761 00:36:32,920 --> 00:36:35,719 Speaker 2: it's the first time I'm hearing any of these coaching questions. 762 00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:39,839 Speaker 2: So she's thirty three, played at Stonybrook as a goalkeeper 763 00:36:39,840 --> 00:36:44,200 Speaker 2: from twenty ten to twenty fourteen. Spotted outside MetLife Stadium 764 00:36:44,200 --> 00:36:46,879 Speaker 2: at a September game, asked by Jets reps, Hey they're 765 00:36:46,920 --> 00:36:49,640 Speaker 2: pretty good, why don't you try? And they never asked 766 00:36:49,640 --> 00:36:52,480 Speaker 2: her if she was a coach. You know, that's there's 767 00:36:52,640 --> 00:36:55,480 Speaker 2: circumstances all the time, like, hey, we asked you question one. 768 00:36:55,800 --> 00:36:58,120 Speaker 2: You answered no. It's like cool, you're in. Well, but 769 00:36:58,280 --> 00:37:02,480 Speaker 2: question five that my disqualify, you know, like for many things. 770 00:37:02,680 --> 00:37:05,640 Speaker 2: She qualified to kick for the Big Bucks by nailing 771 00:37:05,640 --> 00:37:07,879 Speaker 2: a twenty yard field goal in the fan zone during 772 00:37:07,880 --> 00:37:13,200 Speaker 2: an October contest. So bracketology comes to fandom and now 773 00:37:13,239 --> 00:37:18,040 Speaker 2: there's a petition and all of this to let her kick, let. 774 00:37:17,920 --> 00:37:21,080 Speaker 3: Her kick her, let them play, let them play, bad 775 00:37:21,120 --> 00:37:24,040 Speaker 3: news bearers. I don't understand why it's don't they want 776 00:37:24,080 --> 00:37:26,680 Speaker 3: somebody to win. That's why you're doing the thing. Besides, 777 00:37:26,760 --> 00:37:29,879 Speaker 3: you have insurance for the thing, unless insurance isn't gonna 778 00:37:29,880 --> 00:37:32,719 Speaker 3: pay because she's a coach. Are they saying it's worse 779 00:37:32,800 --> 00:37:34,600 Speaker 3: to be a coach to actually a division. 780 00:37:34,880 --> 00:37:38,120 Speaker 2: I thought the division would be enough to say goodbye, Yeah, 781 00:37:38,440 --> 00:37:39,959 Speaker 2: even if you are a cheaper. 782 00:37:41,520 --> 00:37:45,200 Speaker 3: Yeah, look, give her a chance. She didn't play football. 783 00:37:45,239 --> 00:37:47,920 Speaker 3: If if she played, it was a guy that played 784 00:37:47,920 --> 00:37:51,240 Speaker 3: football Division one football, whether it was like an offensive 785 00:37:51,280 --> 00:37:53,640 Speaker 3: lineman or a kicker, wouldn't make a difference. I'd say, Okay, 786 00:37:53,840 --> 00:37:57,879 Speaker 3: he actually played football, so I could maybe see that. 787 00:37:58,280 --> 00:38:00,680 Speaker 3: But I mean, come on, man, let let her kick. 788 00:38:00,760 --> 00:38:02,880 Speaker 3: But see what she can do. So what if she 789 00:38:02,960 --> 00:38:06,279 Speaker 3: played soccer in college just because she's a coach, that 790 00:38:06,320 --> 00:38:09,840 Speaker 3: doesn't mean anything. I can't believe they're doing this, especially 791 00:38:09,840 --> 00:38:14,040 Speaker 3: from a NFL franchise with so much money. I mean, gosh, 792 00:38:14,120 --> 00:38:16,880 Speaker 3: how much money are they worth? Let her kick for 793 00:38:16,880 --> 00:38:19,000 Speaker 3: one hundred thousand dollars? What's the big deal. 794 00:38:19,080 --> 00:38:22,600 Speaker 2: It just seems to me when you have the level 795 00:38:22,640 --> 00:38:27,080 Speaker 2: of futility that you've had for so many years, where 796 00:38:27,239 --> 00:38:31,759 Speaker 2: your run as the owner is roundly mocked to where 797 00:38:31,800 --> 00:38:33,799 Speaker 2: the best thing that's happened to you in a very 798 00:38:33,840 --> 00:38:35,120 Speaker 2: long time was the butt fumble. 799 00:38:35,960 --> 00:38:36,520 Speaker 3: That's true. 800 00:38:36,640 --> 00:38:39,920 Speaker 2: That's that's the most memorable thing other than Aaron Glenn dancing, 801 00:38:40,040 --> 00:38:43,320 Speaker 2: I guess during your return. Otherwise, it's been a decade 802 00:38:43,320 --> 00:38:46,160 Speaker 2: and a half of futility. Why you would not take 803 00:38:46,200 --> 00:38:50,319 Speaker 2: the publicity win and reverse course. Finally a good rand. 804 00:38:50,560 --> 00:38:54,080 Speaker 2: It's a hunder grand. Okay, that's a couple of parking spots, 805 00:38:54,719 --> 00:38:57,920 Speaker 2: that's a couple of beer sales. It just seems like 806 00:38:57,960 --> 00:39:01,800 Speaker 2: an obvious hey week in over the court of public opinion, 807 00:39:02,040 --> 00:39:04,200 Speaker 2: if only for a minute, because that's what it'll be. 808 00:39:04,400 --> 00:39:06,200 Speaker 2: I mean, she'll win the one hundred grand or she 809 00:39:06,280 --> 00:39:10,200 Speaker 2: won't and it'll blow past. But if she wins, then 810 00:39:10,239 --> 00:39:13,439 Speaker 2: it's the goodness of the Jets that they honored her opportunity. 811 00:39:13,960 --> 00:39:16,839 Speaker 2: She does the morning shows, the meet and greets, goes 812 00:39:16,880 --> 00:39:20,000 Speaker 2: and kicks some footballs. Hey kids, let's go kick some footballs. 813 00:39:20,200 --> 00:39:21,920 Speaker 2: Maybe she recruits a couple of kids to play some 814 00:39:22,040 --> 00:39:23,319 Speaker 2: soccer and away we go. 815 00:39:24,360 --> 00:39:26,360 Speaker 3: I agree one hundred percent. IFIVE find out that the 816 00:39:26,400 --> 00:39:28,960 Speaker 3: Jets didn't do it because the insurance was going to 817 00:39:29,040 --> 00:39:32,080 Speaker 3: get canceled and they would be on the hook, then 818 00:39:32,120 --> 00:39:34,359 Speaker 3: I'd really lose my mind. I'm wondering even if they 819 00:39:34,400 --> 00:39:37,239 Speaker 3: even have insurance for something like this. Remember there was 820 00:39:37,520 --> 00:39:39,400 Speaker 3: Lloyd's London back in the day.
