Like he does 128 00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:25,919 Speaker 1: this investigative stuff and breaks down, you know, stories that 129 00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:28,919 Speaker 1: pop up in the world of sports. And apparently Kawhi 130 00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:32,920 Speaker 1: Leonard took a twenty eight million dollar payment for a 131 00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:36,480 Speaker 1: no show job to circumvent the NBA salary cap from 132 00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:37,120 Speaker 1: the Clippers. 133 00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:39,080 Speaker 2: There was a. 134 00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:44,120 Speaker 1: Company was that went bankrupt afterwards, and so the thought is, well, 135 00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:45,760 Speaker 1: to try and get him a little bit more cash. 136 00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:48,440 Speaker 1: We'll just you know, this is the way we'll do it. 137 00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:50,240 Speaker 1: This is the way we'll come up with the monies 138 00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:52,800 Speaker 1: to get that done. And so Pablo Torre, after the 139 00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:56,120 Speaker 1: report dropped yesterday morning, was on the Dan Patrick Show, 140 00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:57,760 Speaker 1: which you can hear on many of these Fox Sports 141 00:06:57,839 --> 00:06:59,680 Speaker 1: radio affiliates, and he broke it down. 142 00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:03,120 Speaker 7: You may recall how in twenty nineteen, the NBA investigated 143 00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:06,280 Speaker 7: the signing of Kawhi Leonard by the Clippers. This was 144 00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:09,720 Speaker 7: the Uncle Dennis story, him asking for all the sweeteners, 145 00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:13,080 Speaker 7: the side deals. This was the Lakers, the Raptors, very mad, 146 00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:16,160 Speaker 7: lots of teams, very mad. NBA investigates says this is 147 00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:19,600 Speaker 7: a cardinal sin. Salary caps are convention, but they find nothing. 148 00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:23,040 Speaker 7: This is a story that started because of a company 149 00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:27,080 Speaker 7: called Aspiration, which no one really remembers in fairness, but 150 00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:30,280 Speaker 7: they had signed some of the most famous people in 151 00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:33,680 Speaker 7: the world to be endorsers. All people who endorsed this 152 00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:37,120 Speaker 7: climate change company that planted trees to zero out your 153 00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:41,120 Speaker 7: carbon footprint, like good guys, only for those same good 154 00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:44,520 Speaker 7: guys to have since been embroiled in what has been 155 00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:48,680 Speaker 7: a concurrent Department of Justice and SEC investigations that have 156 00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:51,920 Speaker 7: resulted in guilty please by one of the co founders 157 00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:55,240 Speaker 7: of the company, and Steve Baumber in this story put 158 00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:57,640 Speaker 7: in fifty million dollars of his own money into Aspiration. 159 00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:01,480 Speaker 7: Here's the punchline. The endorser deal that was the biggest 160 00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:06,960 Speaker 7: the Aspiration signed given all those A List avengers, happened 161 00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:10,680 Speaker 7: to be Kawhi Leonard twenty eight million dollars, more than 162 00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:14,520 Speaker 7: four times the rest of the celebrity roster combined. And 163 00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:17,800 Speaker 7: the kicker, you might argue, is that he didn't do anything. 164 00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:20,360 Speaker 7: It was a no show job, did nothing, was an 165 00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:23,239 Speaker 7: obligated to do anything, which you can explain if you want, 166 00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:25,600 Speaker 7: but the point being it was a secret deal that 167 00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:26,920 Speaker 7: no one knew about until now. 168 00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:31,200 Speaker 1: So there you go, and there's the uh. 169 00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:33,080 Speaker 4: Well, I think you have to in order to make 170 00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:34,480 Speaker 4: this fair. And this is part of the. 171 00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:36,760 Speaker 6: Tough, tough thing I have with like Paula tole Toy 172 00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:39,640 Speaker 6: has done a great job with a lot of his investigations, 173 00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:42,680 Speaker 6: but he's only providing you, like one side of the story, 174 00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:46,400 Speaker 6: and in particular in this one where he does find 175 00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:50,199 Speaker 6: some things and he's able to provide this very tantalizing 176 00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:52,880 Speaker 6: story that you know, I kind of look at it 177 00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:54,360 Speaker 6: and sit there and see David Sampson, by the way, 178 00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:58,280 Speaker 6: who ran the Marlins, really smart, you know, business mind 179 00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:00,400 Speaker 6: who's kind of sitting there looking at as a part 180 00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:02,440 Speaker 6: of it, and I think you can draw a conclusion like, yeah, 181 00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:04,480 Speaker 6: could this have been fraudulent? Could this have been a 182 00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:06,640 Speaker 6: way to circumvent the salary cap? 183 00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:07,160 Speaker 4: Sure? 184 00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:11,600 Speaker 6: Well, let me read you Mark Cuban's response. I'm on 185 00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:15,240 Speaker 6: team Balmer, Well, you might think he's going to be right. 186 00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:17,920 Speaker 6: He had owned the Dallas Mavericks and majority share and 187 00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:18,960 Speaker 6: until he sold it. 188 00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:23,160 Speaker 4: As much as I wish, they circumvented the salary cap, Steve, 189 00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:24,640 Speaker 4: isn't that dumb? All right? 190 00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:28,559 Speaker 6: If he did try to feed Kale money knowing what 191 00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:30,600 Speaker 6: was at stake for him personally and his team, do 192 00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:33,079 Speaker 6: you think he would let that company go bankrupt knowing 193 00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:38,520 Speaker 6: all creditors would be visible to the world. So let's 194 00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:41,520 Speaker 6: just stop there for a second. He put fifty million 195 00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:43,320 Speaker 6: into this, right, it's a lot of money. I don't 196 00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:44,920 Speaker 6: care how much money you have, fifty million into it's 197 00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:47,560 Speaker 6: a lot of money. Kawhi was only getting paid seventy 198 00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:50,640 Speaker 6: year from that, so twenty eight million, So the other 199 00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:54,680 Speaker 6: twenty two million, he's just throw it, just throwing away apparently. 200 00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:56,800 Speaker 4: Now this was all in an effort. 201 00:09:56,920 --> 00:09:58,760 Speaker 6: If you go back and look at what aspiration was 202 00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:01,240 Speaker 6: to be able to, you know, set their carbon footprint, 203 00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:03,120 Speaker 6: and it would kind of make you feel better about, 204 00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:06,000 Speaker 6: you know, some of your business operations, et cetera. But 205 00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:09,440 Speaker 6: the point is is that it kind of starts to 206 00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:12,320 Speaker 6: look a little bit fishy then of like, all right, yeah, 207 00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:14,360 Speaker 6: maybe he wanted to pay him seven million additionally a 208 00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:17,200 Speaker 6: year and get him that extra twenty eight million, but 209 00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:21,040 Speaker 6: then he just blowed the other twenty two purely just 210 00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:22,680 Speaker 6: to be able to get Kawhi Leonard. 211 00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:25,200 Speaker 4: Maybe, I don't know, maybe not. 212 00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:27,600 Speaker 6: It feels like you'd want to pay him the entire 213 00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:30,680 Speaker 6: fifty million or find some way of structuring that way. 214 00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:33,360 Speaker 6: Cuba goes on to say they got scammed by Aspiration, 215 00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:36,439 Speaker 6: along with many others crimes from which they pleaded guilty 216 00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:40,120 Speaker 6: last week, which is true, like a lot of these 217 00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:43,240 Speaker 6: people pleaded guilty to and if that's the case, like 218 00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:45,840 Speaker 6: they're all taking the fall, then just so Steve Baumer 219 00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:48,640 Speaker 6: and the Clippers could be able to sign Kawhi Leonard, 220 00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:51,760 Speaker 6: like everyone's set up to take the fall for him. 221 00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:54,319 Speaker 6: I mean, they did a three hundred million dollar sponship 222 00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:56,040 Speaker 6: deal with the Clippers in twenty twenty one. That's a 223 00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:58,880 Speaker 6: huge deal. The better the team does, the more value 224 00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:02,840 Speaker 6: sponsorship has. Actually makes perfect sense. Cuban says that if 225 00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:06,440 Speaker 6: they stole money from investors and want the Clippers to succeed, 226 00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:09,000 Speaker 6: why not give the stolen money to help keep their 227 00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:14,400 Speaker 6: best player. Also makes a lot of sense, so That's 228 00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:17,760 Speaker 6: the hard part about this is Pabloatore does this report, 229 00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:21,560 Speaker 6: it's tantalizing, everyone runs with it, and yet the populatory 230 00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:24,040 Speaker 6: ever reached out to Steve Balmer get his side of it. 231 00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:26,480 Speaker 6: Isn't that part of what journalism is. You hear both 232 00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:28,760 Speaker 6: sides of the story. You present the facts, and let 233 00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:31,120 Speaker 6: people who read it then determine what's true and what's not. 234 00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:35,280 Speaker 1: I mean, at least they got the NBA. 235 00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:39,439 Speaker 2: In the news mean brutal for me. 236 00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:44,560 Speaker 3: God, I'm glad y'all love this topic. I mean, god, dang, 237 00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:47,280 Speaker 3: I mean, it's interesting listening to you talk about it. 238 00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:49,920 Speaker 2: But well, the reason. 239 00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:50,960 Speaker 4: There you go. 240 00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:54,640 Speaker 6: But the reason is there's there's so many ramifications for 241 00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:57,480 Speaker 6: this because like in the NBA, for example, the president 242 00:11:57,600 --> 00:11:59,640 Speaker 6: was set back when the Minnesota Timberwolves this in two 243 00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:03,000 Speaker 6: thousand and with Joe Schmidt Joe Smith, and they took 244 00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:05,240 Speaker 6: away five first round picks, which, by the way, the 245 00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:07,800 Speaker 6: Clippers won't even have how many first round picks? Not 246 00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:10,120 Speaker 6: sure what they do. They find the team three point 247 00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:14,240 Speaker 6: five million dollars and they avoided the contract, So that 248 00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:15,040 Speaker 6: is tampering. 249 00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:18,240 Speaker 3: It's like tampering or fraud. What would what would we 250 00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:20,640 Speaker 3: call it, well fraud, you. 251 00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:23,760 Speaker 4: Call it fraudule have you won. It's just it goes 252 00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:25,600 Speaker 4: against the CBA. 253 00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:28,360 Speaker 6: Right because you've got a union, you've got a collective 254 00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:31,319 Speaker 6: bargain agreement that's been agreed upon, and really for more 255 00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:33,800 Speaker 6: the ownership side, you know, they want things to be 256 00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:35,160 Speaker 6: fair and on the up up and have a level 257 00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:36,840 Speaker 6: playing field. And they have a soft cap for a 258 00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:39,520 Speaker 6: reason because if you go over it, right, you end 259 00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:42,680 Speaker 6: up paying a luxury tax. So there's all sorts of 260 00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:45,320 Speaker 6: you know, reasons why this matters. But what makes it 261 00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:47,600 Speaker 6: really interesting is then you apply it to like college football. 262 00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:51,280 Speaker 6: Right now, college football is slowly moving towards a world 263 00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:54,160 Speaker 6: where you have a salary cap in essence, right, we 264 00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:57,480 Speaker 6: have the house NCAA settlement that allows now every school 265 00:12:57,520 --> 00:13:01,200 Speaker 6: to pay out their student athletes, in particular football x 266 00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:03,720 Speaker 6: amount of dollars of the twenty two million or twenty 267 00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:05,480 Speaker 6: million roughly somewhere in that ballpark. 268 00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:05,760 Speaker 4: Right. 269 00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:10,640 Speaker 6: So the interesting thing about it is that the NCAA 270 00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:14,800 Speaker 6: and really all parties involved that that have created the 271 00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:18,760 Speaker 6: College Sports Commission, the CSC, they are supposed to because 272 00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:21,160 Speaker 6: now collectives are still able to exist, players are still 273 00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:23,840 Speaker 6: able to go and get their anile deals. They were 274 00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:26,760 Speaker 6: able to actually go and look at all those deals 275 00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:29,400 Speaker 6: to try to provide some sort of transparency and make 276 00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:31,600 Speaker 6: sure everything's on the up and up, and they can 277 00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:34,880 Speaker 6: determine whether or not those deals are deemed worthy, like 278 00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:36,880 Speaker 6: if the athletes are being paid market value, if they 279 00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:39,800 Speaker 6: fall up in the guidelines of what's been put forth 280 00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:42,880 Speaker 6: in the House NCAA settlement, what becomes really interesting is 281 00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:46,240 Speaker 6: who's to say the CSC knows like. 282 00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:48,560 Speaker 4: What's market value or even argue that. 283 00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:53,360 Speaker 6: And typically when you have a union with one side, 284 00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:55,800 Speaker 6: you know you could take those things up or their 285 00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:57,880 Speaker 6: negotiated within a collective bargain agreement. 286 00:13:58,280 --> 00:13:59,720 Speaker 4: The problem is that we don't have any of that 287 00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:00,800 Speaker 4: college football. 288 00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:05,120 Speaker 6: So if you were to apply this situation, should someone 289 00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:07,800 Speaker 6: ever say, hey, Penn Station have got that recruit, they 290 00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:08,400 Speaker 6: probably gave. 291 00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:10,920 Speaker 4: Him, you know, a two million dollar, you know nil deal. 292 00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:14,720 Speaker 6: Like if they end up saying that the player can't 293 00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:17,360 Speaker 6: do the deal, the College Sports Commission, he's just gonna 294 00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:19,720 Speaker 6: come right back out and sue and say, yeah, you guys, 295 00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:20,480 Speaker 6: let's go to court. 296 00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:22,800 Speaker 4: Let's figure this out, and he's probably gonna win. 297 00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:27,480 Speaker 6: So that's that's what makes this really interesting, is you're 298 00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:29,760 Speaker 6: saying something right now that it's not just interesting from 299 00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:31,600 Speaker 6: the NBA and the fact that they're even in the 300 00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:35,000 Speaker 6: news and how this's all worked out, it's also interesting 301 00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:37,720 Speaker 6: and how it impacts other sports and where other sports 302 00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:41,400 Speaker 6: are at and their evolution of becoming a professional sport 303 00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:43,200 Speaker 6: like college football that's inching their way there. 304 00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:50,320 Speaker 3: So it's about figuring out managing engaging loopholes loopholers. 305 00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:52,320 Speaker 2: Is that what I take from it. 306 00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:54,280 Speaker 4: Which is kind of what always the business has been. 307 00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:58,240 Speaker 3: There's always been, right, But that's what this is, is somebody 308 00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:02,520 Speaker 3: finding a loophole to you pay more to be more 309 00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:03,800 Speaker 3: enticing to the player. 310 00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:04,800 Speaker 4: Is sure? 311 00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:07,320 Speaker 6: I mean the problem in this case, well, the Clippers 312 00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:08,800 Speaker 6: did this in order to be able to pay Kawi 313 00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:10,480 Speaker 6: more than what some of the other suitors would be 314 00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:13,160 Speaker 6: able to pay him. What's interesting about it, like I said, though, 315 00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:17,600 Speaker 6: is like I don't know how you stop or how 316 00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:19,720 Speaker 6: you look at this if you're Steve Bomber and. 317 00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:22,760 Speaker 4: Say, yeah, like he became a part of the Clippers, 318 00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:23,880 Speaker 4: Bomber owns the Clippers. 319 00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:27,240 Speaker 6: But at the same time Bomber just essentially wasted twenty 320 00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:29,400 Speaker 6: two million dollars even if that was what he was 321 00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:33,560 Speaker 6: trying to do in helping out Kawhi Leonard. And also 322 00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:39,080 Speaker 6: to Mark Cuban's first point, like, no one, no one's 323 00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:42,520 Speaker 6: dumb enough who's in that world at that level to 324 00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:46,000 Speaker 6: do something that becomes public And he had to have 325 00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:48,840 Speaker 6: known that if he was going to invest his money 326 00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:52,360 Speaker 6: with an organization and company who'd be basically were a 327 00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:54,479 Speaker 6: bunch of scammers who pled guilty. 328 00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:54,720 Speaker 4: To all this. 329 00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:58,160 Speaker 6: That you know it was going to be eventually become 330 00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:01,080 Speaker 6: public and all that. Like, I'm sure that wasn't the intent. 331 00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:03,960 Speaker 6: Maybe Pablo Toya would say in response to this, maybe 332 00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:06,880 Speaker 6: he'd say, well, yeah, that wasn't Bomber's intent. He didn't 333 00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:08,720 Speaker 6: think they'd go bankrupt, so he thought no one would 334 00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:13,840 Speaker 6: ever know. But it looks a little fishy right on 335 00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:15,920 Speaker 6: both sides of it. And that's why you wish Pablo 336 00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:18,480 Speaker 6: toy would have had more from bombers side of things. 337 00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:22,320 Speaker 1: And also, you know he's gonna spend twenty two million 338 00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:24,480 Speaker 1: dollars for this, and on top of that, if he 339 00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:27,960 Speaker 1: gets popped, it's seven and a half million dollars in fines. 340 00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:30,200 Speaker 1: It's a loss of draft picks. I think they void 341 00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:34,880 Speaker 1: Kauwhai's contract, like it's going to cripple the organization for 342 00:16:34,920 --> 00:16:39,520 Speaker 1: all this to do business with somebody on a shady level. 343 00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:42,320 Speaker 1: It just so, Yeah, I think Mark Cuban makes a 344 00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:44,480 Speaker 1: lot of sense. They're supposed to have some sort of 345 00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:47,080 Speaker 1: you know, an interview or something. I think they agreed 346 00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:51,400 Speaker 1: to to go over a pablotory and Mark Cuban. But yeah, nonetheless, 347 00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:55,720 Speaker 1: and also how many how many other owners around sports 348 00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:58,360 Speaker 1: you know, are looking at this going, well, hopefully they're 349 00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:00,200 Speaker 1: want to start taking let's. 350 00:16:59,840 --> 00:17:02,400 Speaker 4: All peel back the curtain if you guys really want 351 00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:04,600 Speaker 4: to go there. I mean, we can talk about Tom Brady. 352 00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:06,000 Speaker 4: We could talk about all the. 353 00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:08,280 Speaker 6: Accusations that people used to make during the years where 354 00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:11,119 Speaker 6: he would take quote unquote team friendly deals. And there 355 00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:13,399 Speaker 6: was always a thought that Robert Craft and Tom Brady 356 00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:15,640 Speaker 6: had gotten in more real estate. 357 00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:19,040 Speaker 4: Deals, more involved that were under the table, deals. 358 00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:22,520 Speaker 6: That had gone on for you know, two decades, where 359 00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:24,479 Speaker 6: there was a common thought that that's how they were 360 00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:27,200 Speaker 6: getting it done. Deals that weren't just in this country deals, 361 00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:30,960 Speaker 6: international deals. There are deals in Brazil, like there's all 362 00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:34,440 Speaker 6: sorts of different things that you know, I mean, Let's 363 00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:37,119 Speaker 6: just put it this way. Because let's say you have 364 00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:40,000 Speaker 6: equity in a company and maybe they maybe just to 365 00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:43,160 Speaker 6: be Tom Brady, right, someone's going to give you equity 366 00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:45,040 Speaker 6: to use your name like this. Maybe it's it's a 367 00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:49,479 Speaker 6: company that does real estate in Brazil, hypothetically speaking, And 368 00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:52,679 Speaker 6: if you've got a partial portion of this company, you 369 00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:54,960 Speaker 6: haven't put any money in, right, So you're kind of 370 00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:57,040 Speaker 6: playing with house money, right, because you haven't done anything 371 00:17:57,080 --> 00:17:59,800 Speaker 6: so far. And let's just say that you in order 372 00:17:59,840 --> 00:18:03,200 Speaker 6: to you know, sign a contract that's not the market rate, 373 00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:05,879 Speaker 6: or or you're allowing the team to sign you at 374 00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:08,640 Speaker 6: a discount. Let's say you're like, yeah, okay, that's fine, 375 00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:10,679 Speaker 6: but in exchange, I want you to invest into this 376 00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:14,440 Speaker 6: real estate deal. And so if you're getting a percentage 377 00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:16,720 Speaker 6: of the equity from that deal, maybe you're even getting 378 00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:19,000 Speaker 6: a networking fee and they're getting some you know, a 379 00:18:19,119 --> 00:18:21,920 Speaker 6: one percent of whatever you're able to raise as the sponsor, 380 00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:26,040 Speaker 6: you know you're getting something back in return that's real 381 00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:29,080 Speaker 6: money in a deal like that. So it granted all 382 00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:32,080 Speaker 6: hypotheticals that I'm presenting you, but ways you could go 383 00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:34,240 Speaker 6: about doing it where there's not as much of a 384 00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:38,240 Speaker 6: money trail directly to the athlete, but through another company 385 00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:41,040 Speaker 6: where he would be getting paid out. Does that make sense? 386 00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:43,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, it makes a ton of sense. It's just a lot, 387 00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:44,720 Speaker 2: just a lot. 388 00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:48,720 Speaker 6: But yeah, it's the lengths that teams go to in 389 00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:51,000 Speaker 6: order to find ways of operating in the gray. 390 00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:52,200 Speaker 5: Yeah. 391 00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:54,000 Speaker 1: How bad do you want it? All right? 392 00:18:54,119 --> 00:18:54,239 Speaker 2: Got? 393 00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:59,280 Speaker 3: I mean everybody wants it pretty badly. I'm assuming some 394 00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:01,600 Speaker 3: people want it more more than others. 395 00:19:02,280 --> 00:19:05,800 Speaker 4: Maybe not Alabama, you know later a lot more back 396 00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:06,240 Speaker 4: in the day. 397 00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:09,760 Speaker 1: By the way, everyone knows first impressions start with the 398 00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:12,280 Speaker 1: first code.

They do 495 00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:08,919 Speaker 6: make it in as the sixth seed, though a wildcard 496 00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:12,119 Speaker 6: seed nonetheless five hundred division, but the Chargers of the 497 00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:14,280 Speaker 6: other team that makes in that division at ten and seven, 498 00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:17,480 Speaker 6: Broncos at seven and ten, Raiders at six at eleven. 499 00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:21,480 Speaker 6: Both Broncos and Raiders had tougher schedules than I could recall, 500 00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:23,400 Speaker 6: because I do think the Broncos could be a little 501 00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:23,960 Speaker 6: bit better. 502 00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:24,440 Speaker 4: Than that this year. 503 00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:27,240 Speaker 6: However, That's what I've got for the AFC West, for 504 00:23:27,359 --> 00:23:31,280 Speaker 6: the AFC North, a team that really pushed Kansas City 505 00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:34,560 Speaker 6: for the number one overall spot. Or the Cincinnati Bengals 506 00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:37,719 Speaker 6: thirteen and four. Yes, for all the d bags out 507 00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:39,639 Speaker 6: there that think I don't like the Bengals or I 508 00:23:39,720 --> 00:23:41,480 Speaker 6: don't think this, or that, you know, they're a really 509 00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:43,600 Speaker 6: good football team. I think they could win a Super Bowl. 510 00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:45,760 Speaker 6: So hang on to the rest of the predictions. I've 511 00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:48,080 Speaker 6: got them winning the AFC North at thirteen and four, 512 00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:52,720 Speaker 6: beating out Baltimore at twelve and five. Mind you, Pittsburgh Steelers, 513 00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:55,360 Speaker 6: they go nine and seven. They do not make the playoffs, 514 00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:57,080 Speaker 6: which I don't feel good about that prediction. 515 00:23:57,160 --> 00:23:59,760 Speaker 4: However, that's how it worked out. We do it once. 516 00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:01,760 Speaker 4: You don't get to go back and make changes. 517 00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:04,800 Speaker 6: Brown's at five and twelve, which I think hits. They're 518 00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:07,720 Speaker 6: over in some books, but still not quite good enough. 519 00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:11,080 Speaker 6: Moving on to the AFC East, Bills leading the way 520 00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:12,840 Speaker 6: at twelve and five. They have a much more difficult 521 00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:16,159 Speaker 6: schedule than I'd realize. This number doesn't look good to me. 522 00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:18,400 Speaker 6: I think they should be closer to fourteen and three, 523 00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:20,520 Speaker 6: but I got I'm at twelve and five. They still 524 00:24:20,520 --> 00:24:24,480 Speaker 6: win the AFC East, and the Patriots at ten and 525 00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:29,960 Speaker 6: seven they get the final wild card spots. Meanwhile, Dolphins 526 00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:33,199 Speaker 6: at seven and ten, Jets at six and eleven, and 527 00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:36,320 Speaker 6: finally the AFC South. Only one team makes it from 528 00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:39,400 Speaker 6: the playoffs from the AFC South, and it's the Jaguars 529 00:24:39,480 --> 00:24:43,200 Speaker 6: via a tiebreaker Liam Cohnan his first year, they win. 530 00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:44,720 Speaker 4: A tiebreaker over the Texans. 531 00:24:44,760 --> 00:24:47,560 Speaker 6: The Texans go ten and seven, the Jaguars go ten 532 00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:50,960 Speaker 6: and seven. However, it's the Jaguars that move on the 533 00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:54,359 Speaker 6: Titans of five and twelve and the Colts at four 534 00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:55,520 Speaker 6: and thirteen. 535 00:24:56,080 --> 00:24:57,480 Speaker 4: That is my AFC picture. 536 00:24:57,600 --> 00:24:58,199 Speaker 2: How about that? 537 00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:00,440 Speaker 1: Who's next? 538 00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:03,840 Speaker 11: All right, Jonas, give us your AFC picks. 539 00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:05,439 Speaker 1: All right, let's fire it off, all right. In the 540 00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:09,120 Speaker 1: AFC East, I've got the Buffalo Bills winning the division. 541 00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:11,040 Speaker 1: Stick around if you think they're gonna make a run 542 00:25:11,080 --> 00:25:13,920 Speaker 1: to the Super Bowl like Pete Prisco things, because listen, 543 00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:16,760 Speaker 1: Matt hard knock curse is a real thing. They were featured. 544 00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:19,000 Speaker 1: It might be a problem. I've got the Patriots finishing 545 00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:22,480 Speaker 1: second in that division, followed by the Dolphins and the 546 00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:25,720 Speaker 1: Jets bringing up the rear. That is your AFC East. 547 00:25:25,840 --> 00:25:28,359 Speaker 1: Over in the North, this one I struggled with. I 548 00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:31,800 Speaker 1: struggled with both Norths. In the AFC North, I've got 549 00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:35,480 Speaker 1: the Bengals winning the division. I've got the Baltimore Ravens 550 00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:39,040 Speaker 1: finishing second, and then I've got Pittsburgh finishing third, followed 551 00:25:39,040 --> 00:25:41,240 Speaker 1: by the Cleveland Browns, who I think is not a 552 00:25:41,280 --> 00:25:44,359 Speaker 1: stunner based on how that whole offseason has gone for them. 553 00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:48,239 Speaker 1: Over in the AFC South, Lebar's favorite division, I've got 554 00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:52,240 Speaker 1: the Houston Texans finishing one, follow by the Jaguars, the Colts, 555 00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:56,960 Speaker 1: and the Titans. In the AFC West, the Bolts back 556 00:25:57,200 --> 00:26:00,680 Speaker 1: the Chargers will be winning that division yet again. I'll 557 00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:03,040 Speaker 1: spin the chamber one more time see if I can 558 00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:04,840 Speaker 1: get it right this year. But I've got the Chargers 559 00:26:04,840 --> 00:26:08,360 Speaker 1: winning the AFC West, followed by the Kansas City Chiefs, 560 00:26:08,520 --> 00:26:13,600 Speaker 1: the Broncos, and the Raiders. That'll be your AFC picks 561 00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:15,960 Speaker 1: over there. What's wrong with my. 562 00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:18,679 Speaker 3: Picksmar Well, because a lot of them match mine and 563 00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:20,840 Speaker 3: I don't like agreeing with you. 564 00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:24,359 Speaker 2: You guys must hit in bed together, I mean on 565 00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:27,679 Speaker 2: these picks. Damn you know dogs here too. 566 00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:28,440 Speaker 11: Yeah, bring it home. 567 00:26:28,600 --> 00:26:30,480 Speaker 6: By the way, I don't know how the hell I 568 00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:34,000 Speaker 6: said Pittsburgh. What I say nine ten and seven, I 569 00:26:34,040 --> 00:26:37,480 Speaker 6: don't know. I was reading a different teams schedule, So 570 00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:40,120 Speaker 6: I'm sorry about that Textedly, I'm not sure he's gonna 571 00:26:40,119 --> 00:26:40,359 Speaker 6: get it. 572 00:26:40,359 --> 00:26:42,440 Speaker 3: But that's why I'm not even going to get into 573 00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:45,280 Speaker 3: doing what you did. I'm gonna go with what Jonas did. 574 00:26:45,320 --> 00:26:48,679 Speaker 3: I'm not giving any any records or anything like that. 575 00:26:48,760 --> 00:26:51,000 Speaker 3: I'm just going to give who I felt is going 576 00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:53,280 Speaker 3: to do it finish where they're going to finish. 577 00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:54,520 Speaker 2: I'll start with the North. 578 00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:59,359 Speaker 3: I do have Cincinnati a top of the AFC North. 579 00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:02,479 Speaker 3: I do believe they will start quicker this year. And 580 00:27:02,520 --> 00:27:06,320 Speaker 3: they'll be a much better team for longer. This year 581 00:27:06,560 --> 00:27:10,200 Speaker 3: just depends on the health of Joe Burrow. In my estimation, 582 00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:14,400 Speaker 3: I got them one, Baltimore two, Pittsburgh rounding it out 583 00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:18,119 Speaker 3: at three. And yes, the Cleveland Brown's kicking the can 584 00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:21,640 Speaker 3: at four down the street. I wonder what that means 585 00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:28,440 Speaker 3: for Stefanski and company. In the East of the AFC. Yes, 586 00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:33,320 Speaker 3: New England. I have New England at the bottom, all 587 00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:35,240 Speaker 3: the way at the bottom, even though I love the 588 00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:38,880 Speaker 3: Mad Mike Rabela, think they're going to be way down there. 589 00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:42,760 Speaker 3: And well, I think that the New York Jets won't 590 00:27:42,800 --> 00:27:45,560 Speaker 3: be far off from them, but they will be able 591 00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:50,800 Speaker 3: to see the New England Patriots easier than the well 592 00:27:50,920 --> 00:27:53,159 Speaker 3: the number one team, which I'll get to in one second, 593 00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:56,960 Speaker 3: but I guess you'll know because the runner up are 594 00:27:57,040 --> 00:28:00,280 Speaker 3: the Fins. Yeah, the Miami Dolphins. I got the mat 595 00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:04,720 Speaker 3: number two, and that means that Buffalo is going to 596 00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:07,080 Speaker 3: win the AFC East, and I think it will be 597 00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:12,040 Speaker 3: by a long shot. So moving to the South, Yes, 598 00:28:12,320 --> 00:28:15,880 Speaker 3: I feel like this is the DQ not the BQ prediction, 599 00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:20,920 Speaker 3: But this is the disqualified predictions part of the conference 600 00:28:21,040 --> 00:28:25,679 Speaker 3: or part of the Division. I got the Texans winning it. 601 00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:28,840 Speaker 3: I think they'll have It's interesting. They had a good 602 00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:31,119 Speaker 3: year last year, just didn't feel like they had a 603 00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:33,800 Speaker 3: good year. I don't know why, but they did, finishing 604 00:28:33,920 --> 00:28:36,199 Speaker 3: double digits of wins and they did make it to 605 00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:36,919 Speaker 3: the playoffs. 606 00:28:37,119 --> 00:28:39,040 Speaker 2: I think they'll be better this year. So I got 607 00:28:39,080 --> 00:28:40,200 Speaker 2: the Texans winning it. 608 00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:42,800 Speaker 3: I don't know why I put the Jags at too, 609 00:28:42,880 --> 00:28:47,160 Speaker 3: because I feel like Tennessee or Indiana could possibly knock 610 00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:49,840 Speaker 3: them off. I guess we could say they have more 611 00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:53,360 Speaker 3: of what you would call stability at the quarterbacks position, 612 00:28:53,480 --> 00:28:54,840 Speaker 3: so I'll put the Mats second. 613 00:28:55,080 --> 00:28:57,560 Speaker 2: I got Tennessee. Like I said, they could go either way. 614 00:28:57,400 --> 00:29:00,720 Speaker 3: Between Tennessee and Indiana or the j if I'm being 615 00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:04,320 Speaker 3: honest in my estimation. But I got Tennessee at three 616 00:29:05,560 --> 00:29:08,200 Speaker 3: and I got Indy at four. I think the indecision 617 00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:11,160 Speaker 3: at quarterback, well maybe not in decision, but I don't 618 00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:14,160 Speaker 3: know the quarterback situation, and Indy I just I don't 619 00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:16,640 Speaker 3: trust it, so I feel like that might be a 620 00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:19,479 Speaker 3: reason why they struggle. So I got them coming in 621 00:29:19,520 --> 00:29:24,160 Speaker 3: at fourth. The West. I think KSE is due for 622 00:29:24,320 --> 00:29:28,479 Speaker 3: a down moment, not a down year, So for a 623 00:29:28,520 --> 00:29:32,240 Speaker 3: down moment, I'll have them finishing behind the Chargers, which 624 00:29:32,280 --> 00:29:34,520 Speaker 3: I think they're going to be on the rise. I 625 00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:37,760 Speaker 3: just think hardball led teams after they get a little 626 00:29:37,760 --> 00:29:40,760 Speaker 3: bit of time in his scheme and in what he's 627 00:29:40,800 --> 00:29:44,440 Speaker 3: got going on, he just doesn't miss. And I think 628 00:29:44,440 --> 00:29:46,320 Speaker 3: that he's got what he needs. I think he's got 629 00:29:46,360 --> 00:29:49,240 Speaker 3: the confidence of Herbert, and he's got a he's got 630 00:29:49,280 --> 00:29:51,280 Speaker 3: this a nice supporting cast. They're going to run the 631 00:29:51,320 --> 00:29:54,080 Speaker 3: ball down people, just shove it down people's throats, just 632 00:29:54,240 --> 00:29:57,360 Speaker 3: force it down their throats, choking them out almost so 633 00:29:57,440 --> 00:29:59,880 Speaker 3: to speak, unless they don't have a gag reflex. But 634 00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:03,560 Speaker 3: I digress. I think that the Chargers will be number 635 00:30:03,600 --> 00:30:08,120 Speaker 3: one and Case will be number two. I think Denver 636 00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:10,880 Speaker 3: will be competitive, I really do. I think this will 637 00:30:10,880 --> 00:30:14,480 Speaker 3: be a very very competitive year for the West. Outside 638 00:30:14,520 --> 00:30:18,360 Speaker 3: of the lonely number four Las Vegas Raiders, they won't 639 00:30:18,400 --> 00:30:21,040 Speaker 3: be competitive, but I think the other three teams will be. 640 00:30:21,760 --> 00:30:21,960 Speaker 4: Eh. 641 00:30:22,040 --> 00:30:24,600 Speaker 2: There you go. That's my AFC picks. 642 00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:28,840 Speaker 1: Which was the which division was the most difficult to 643 00:30:28,880 --> 00:30:33,160 Speaker 1: pick in the AFC? For you guys like I would 644 00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:35,320 Speaker 1: you say you struggled with. 645 00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:38,800 Speaker 6: If I'm being honest, I would say the AFC East, 646 00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:41,720 Speaker 6: AFC South, because you know, it's hard to pick a 647 00:30:41,720 --> 00:30:44,440 Speaker 6: lot of losses for teams because you're like, man, I 648 00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:45,000 Speaker 6: just picked. 649 00:30:44,840 --> 00:30:47,880 Speaker 4: The loss the last four games for that team, you know. 650 00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:50,479 Speaker 6: But you know, there's a lot of things I look 651 00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:53,720 Speaker 6: at the buys, you know, home game advantage, so a 652 00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:58,760 Speaker 6: little you know stats for you. Between the nineteen seventies, 653 00:30:58,920 --> 00:31:02,960 Speaker 6: roughly nineteen seventeen twenty ten, home teams had a up 654 00:31:03,040 --> 00:31:05,840 Speaker 6: to sixty percent advantage, like sixty percent of the time 655 00:31:05,840 --> 00:31:08,440 Speaker 6: the home team's won. Since twenty nineteen, it's been closed 656 00:31:08,480 --> 00:31:11,720 Speaker 6: to like fifty two to fifty three percent. So when 657 00:31:11,760 --> 00:31:13,440 Speaker 6: I do these, obviously I try to factor some of 658 00:31:13,440 --> 00:31:15,600 Speaker 6: that in. If I'm like a little bit not sure 659 00:31:15,600 --> 00:31:18,440 Speaker 6: what I'm thinking about this matchup or whatever the case, 660 00:31:18,440 --> 00:31:19,880 Speaker 6: maybe I'll just kind of lean on more of a 661 00:31:19,880 --> 00:31:22,720 Speaker 6: home team in homefield advantage. But that's jodled over the 662 00:31:22,760 --> 00:31:24,600 Speaker 6: last six years, which is kind of interesting when you 663 00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:25,080 Speaker 6: look at it. 664 00:31:26,280 --> 00:31:28,640 Speaker 3: I say to North, Jonas, and I say the North 665 00:31:28,720 --> 00:31:31,120 Speaker 3: because I'm with it. I do not have an idea 666 00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:34,920 Speaker 3: of what Pittsburgh can be. Pittsburgh could actually sneak up 667 00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:37,719 Speaker 3: on people and be the one that ends up on 668 00:31:37,880 --> 00:31:38,640 Speaker 3: top of. 669 00:31:38,840 --> 00:31:41,080 Speaker 4: Even though you've been against Rogers like the entire. 670 00:31:41,080 --> 00:31:43,240 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's that's what I'm saying. I don't I'm not. 671 00:31:43,720 --> 00:31:46,080 Speaker 3: I'm not blind to the fact that they could possibly 672 00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:49,840 Speaker 3: be a competitive team more so than what I think. 673 00:31:49,920 --> 00:31:52,040 Speaker 3: I just think there's too many questions marks to make 674 00:31:52,080 --> 00:31:53,520 Speaker 3: that type of commitment. 675 00:31:53,760 --> 00:31:55,680 Speaker 6: So here's why it was somewhat easy for me, is 676 00:31:55,840 --> 00:31:58,240 Speaker 6: I feel like Sincinnian and Baltimore anny playoff teams, So 677 00:31:58,360 --> 00:31:59,680 Speaker 6: I know one of those two is going to win 678 00:31:59,720 --> 00:32:01,520 Speaker 6: it the way the schedule worked out, having to be 679 00:32:01,560 --> 00:32:03,560 Speaker 6: sincey the way I did it, and then I think 680 00:32:03,760 --> 00:32:05,840 Speaker 6: Cleveland would be somewhere in the bottom. So yeah, I 681 00:32:05,880 --> 00:32:08,400 Speaker 6: didn't know where Pittsburgh would end up. But at ten 682 00:32:08,440 --> 00:32:10,360 Speaker 6: and seven, I look at that and just say, okay, 683 00:32:10,440 --> 00:32:12,920 Speaker 6: Like that's that comes down to, like their schedule, who 684 00:32:12,920 --> 00:32:15,320 Speaker 6: they beat, who they didn't, which is interesting because like 685 00:32:15,360 --> 00:32:17,360 Speaker 6: ten and seven is a good record, and if it 686 00:32:17,400 --> 00:32:19,320 Speaker 6: does work out that way where they go ten and seven, 687 00:32:19,320 --> 00:32:22,120 Speaker 6: they don't make it. I'm not sure you make of things. 688 00:32:22,160 --> 00:32:24,240 Speaker 6: I'm not sure if Rogers comes back for another year, 689 00:32:24,280 --> 00:32:25,440 Speaker 6: maybe he does, maybe he doesn't. 690 00:32:26,520 --> 00:32:28,640 Speaker 3: Kind of find that all interesting, So I don't know 691 00:32:28,640 --> 00:32:31,080 Speaker 3: who's going to be one, two or three. That I 692 00:32:31,120 --> 00:32:33,280 Speaker 3: gave my prediction of what I think it will be. 693 00:32:33,920 --> 00:32:36,800 Speaker 3: I just don't know who will be one, two and three. 694 00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:39,760 Speaker 2: It could be. Also, it's such a musical chairs if 695 00:32:39,800 --> 00:32:40,600 Speaker 2: you have no idea. 696 00:32:40,680 --> 00:32:45,520 Speaker 1: I also struggled. I'm not crazy about taking the Chargers 697 00:32:45,600 --> 00:32:49,400 Speaker 1: with the Slater injury. They've got a running back who 698 00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:52,720 Speaker 1: you know, almost blew his face off at a fireworks 699 00:32:52,720 --> 00:32:57,600 Speaker 1: show and fourth of July like, I'm not that seems. 700 00:32:56,600 --> 00:32:58,280 Speaker 3: Can I give you a little bit of color there? 701 00:32:58,360 --> 00:33:00,520 Speaker 3: Can I give you something some optim And. 702 00:33:00,800 --> 00:33:02,880 Speaker 1: I'm a big believer in the Super Bowl hangover. I 703 00:33:02,920 --> 00:33:05,360 Speaker 1: know that the Chiefs it doesn't apply to them or 704 00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:08,320 Speaker 1: the Patriots of the past number of number of years. 705 00:33:08,560 --> 00:33:13,040 Speaker 1: But I just wonder if you know age some other factors. 706 00:33:13,920 --> 00:33:17,840 Speaker 3: So when had Harball is always at his best when 707 00:33:17,840 --> 00:33:21,080 Speaker 3: there's some drama going on, think about that's right. 708 00:33:21,160 --> 00:33:23,960 Speaker 4: He wasn't even there in happy value last year and they. 709 00:33:23,880 --> 00:33:27,840 Speaker 3: Still always at his best when the drama he uses 710 00:33:27,880 --> 00:33:30,640 Speaker 3: that he uses that drama as like super fuel. 711 00:33:30,760 --> 00:33:31,680 Speaker 2: I'm just saying. 712 00:33:31,920 --> 00:33:32,600 Speaker 4: He's not wrong. 713 00:33:32,720 --> 00:33:35,840 Speaker 6: Plus, I mean, justin coming from LaVar would know like 714 00:33:35,920 --> 00:33:37,880 Speaker 6: Penn state has not being Michigan in a while, so 715 00:33:37,920 --> 00:33:38,320 Speaker 6: it's been. 716 00:33:38,200 --> 00:33:39,160 Speaker 2: A long time. 717 00:33:39,640 --> 00:33:42,760 Speaker 1: Plus he got justin Herbert, you know, walking around playing 718 00:33:42,760 --> 00:33:46,080 Speaker 1: board games, drinking wine with that rocket ship Madison Beer. 719 00:33:46,160 --> 00:33:48,280 Speaker 1: I don't know if that's still going on, but just 720 00:33:48,280 --> 00:33:48,760 Speaker 1: feels like. 721 00:33:48,720 --> 00:33:50,680 Speaker 6: It's you can't keep saying her name.
