Do you ever look at yourself? Yeah? 0:01:41.720 --> 0:01:42.199 I'm happy. 0:01:42.800 --> 0:01:44.600 So when you look in the mirror, you're like, you 0:01:44.800 --> 0:01:47.280 like the person that's looking back at you. Yeah, he's 0:01:47.280 --> 0:01:50.080 a good dude. You feel good about it. I feel good. 0:01:50.280 --> 0:01:52.160 And then you go into your day. You step into 0:01:52.200 --> 0:01:54.800 your day and it's like, let's go have a good one. 0:01:54.840 --> 0:01:55.640 I live my best life. 0:01:55.680 --> 0:01:59.960 Bark all right, Okay, let's let's let's let's do the show. 0:02:01.560 --> 0:02:05.920 So that you do know that that makes me lose 0:02:06.200 --> 0:02:10.320 a little bit of belief in humanity. You do know that, right? 0:02:10.560 --> 0:02:13.240 That's his that's his conclusion when he looked in the mirror. 0:02:13.480 --> 0:02:17.200 We need little, we need only a little bit only. No, 0:02:17.320 --> 0:02:20.080 I'm just saying you said only a little more for you, 0:02:20.360 --> 0:02:22.880 it should be more. I'm not judging him either way, 0:02:23.400 --> 0:02:26.799 that's not I would like to think I'm not judging him, 0:02:27.000 --> 0:02:29.160 but that's disturbing. 0:02:29.280 --> 0:02:32.040 I'm all for variety, you know, and uh, we need 0:02:32.080 --> 0:02:33.320 a little bit of everything in this world. 0:02:33.360 --> 0:02:34.840 Oh, that's what you call it? Okay? 0:02:35.360 --> 0:02:38.520 Oh wow, Now speaking of a little bit of everything. 0:02:38.680 --> 0:02:43.920 Yes, college football has got this NIL stuff going on, which. 0:02:45.200 --> 0:02:45.960 Love this stuff. 0:02:46.560 --> 0:02:49.800 Donald Trump, the President of the United States, plans to 0:02:49.919 --> 0:02:55.639 sign an executive order establishing national standards for name, image, 0:02:55.840 --> 0:02:59.519 and likeness initiatives, according to CBS News. 0:02:59.800 --> 0:03:04.840 So wh with that being said, this is where you 0:03:04.880 --> 0:03:07.919 turn it over to Braden T. 0:03:08.160 --> 0:03:11.960 Quinn to explain to us when we are going to 0:03:12.000 --> 0:03:14.760 get to the point to where we all know what 0:03:14.800 --> 0:03:17.799 the rules are, we all understand what the parameters are, 0:03:18.000 --> 0:03:20.680 and we can just move forward as opposed to the 0:03:20.800 --> 0:03:23.960 back and forth. It is constantly happening. Who's violating what? 0:03:24.280 --> 0:03:27.639 Wisconsin player is suing my like all the other things 0:03:27.639 --> 0:03:30.520 that come along with NIL over the past couple of years. 0:03:30.600 --> 0:03:33.600 You are fake is oh thank you for that. 0:03:34.760 --> 0:03:35.040 Yeah. 0:03:35.080 --> 0:03:37.680 So, I don't want to get too much into the weeds. 0:03:37.720 --> 0:03:40.840 But here are, like the layman's terms, things that need 0:03:40.880 --> 0:03:42.880 to be addressed, and I think he's trying to address 0:03:42.920 --> 0:03:47.360 this with this executive order. The first is uniformity, meaning 0:03:47.640 --> 0:03:49.880 if you go state to state and LeVar you know 0:03:49.960 --> 0:03:54.760 this like high school eligibility for NIL and college NIL 0:03:55.200 --> 0:03:58.120 rules they're different, Yeah, difference, which one of the things 0:03:58.120 --> 0:04:00.000 that's occurred now is, yes, we have the revenue shape 0:04:00.400 --> 0:04:03.200 which all the schools have to you know, share twenty 0:04:03.200 --> 0:04:06.720 and a half million with their student athletes. However, there's 0:04:06.760 --> 0:04:10.560 still space for the NIL or collectives to operate and 0:04:10.640 --> 0:04:14.920 so state by state that can vary drastically. And what 0:04:14.960 --> 0:04:17.360 they're trying to do is create a level play field 0:04:17.640 --> 0:04:19.440 and not so much less so there's a salary cap 0:04:19.520 --> 0:04:22.960 per se, but at least the rules are even, you know, 0:04:23.040 --> 0:04:25.920 going across the country, as opposed to some states where 0:04:26.360 --> 0:04:28.200 if you are an in state college and you have 0:04:28.279 --> 0:04:31.360 kids who can earn money in NIL in high school, 0:04:31.720 --> 0:04:34.839 those kids should never ever leave that state. If you 0:04:34.880 --> 0:04:38.080 have any alumni boosters who are able to then you know, 0:04:38.440 --> 0:04:41.960 help these kids at an NIL level in high school, 0:04:42.480 --> 0:04:44.200 this should probably pave the way for them to go 0:04:44.200 --> 0:04:46.080 to that same school in the same state. So you 0:04:46.120 --> 0:04:50.800 could see how that example could create a major advantage. 0:04:50.279 --> 0:04:51.640 In one state versus the others. 0:04:52.040 --> 0:04:55.640 The others the anti trust protections, so obviously they want 0:04:55.680 --> 0:04:58.680 to protect a lot of the college leaders right now 0:04:58.839 --> 0:05:01.839 from anti trust law to ensure like the long term 0:05:02.360 --> 0:05:05.800 scholarship availability and opportunities are there for the student athletes. 0:05:05.839 --> 0:05:08.000 Like that's kind of getting forgotten in the wayside is 0:05:08.320 --> 0:05:10.600 everyone wants to talk about the money, and yes, scholarships 0:05:10.600 --> 0:05:13.680 equate two dollar signs. However, we want to make sure 0:05:13.720 --> 0:05:16.560 that that that's always protected and that doesn't go away 0:05:17.160 --> 0:05:19.320 because a lot of these schools now with the money 0:05:19.320 --> 0:05:22.160 that they're sharing in some cases there those are going 0:05:22.160 --> 0:05:24.840 to scholarships, which which is great. Right kids are able 0:05:24.839 --> 0:05:27.280 to go play sports, get a free education, and leave 0:05:27.320 --> 0:05:29.000 school with a degree and not be any debt. 0:05:29.000 --> 0:05:29.560 That's awesome. 0:05:30.400 --> 0:05:32.800 They're still trying to figure out the financial component to it. 0:05:33.640 --> 0:05:35.640 If you have a kid, for example, who's going to 0:05:35.640 --> 0:05:38.760 school and making a bunch of money off nil, they 0:05:38.800 --> 0:05:40.839 still want there to be some sort of component that 0:05:40.920 --> 0:05:44.600 ties them to having to get their education. And I 0:05:44.640 --> 0:05:46.200 think it's a good thing, you know, I think we're 0:05:46.200 --> 0:05:49.040 getting away from what college sports is supposed to be 0:05:49.080 --> 0:05:52.200 and that's development, not only as an athlete but as 0:05:52.200 --> 0:05:55.359 a person. And you know, sports are short lived for 0:05:55.440 --> 0:05:57.920 most so after that you've got to have a plan. 0:05:57.920 --> 0:05:58.960 You don't want to have there to be a bunch 0:05:58.960 --> 0:06:02.760 of pitfalls. And then last thing, probably more than anything, else, 0:06:03.440 --> 0:06:06.920 uh is the athlete excuse me, athlete employment status, how 0:06:06.920 --> 0:06:12.279 that would potentially work with like the National Labor Relations Board. 0:06:12.680 --> 0:06:13.279 There's been a lot of. 0:06:13.240 --> 0:06:15.600 Talk about them potentially unionizing and how that's gonna work 0:06:15.640 --> 0:06:17.160 since they're essentially employees. 0:06:17.640 --> 0:06:18.400 So that's one thing. 0:06:18.440 --> 0:06:20.800 And then the agent regulation, like the agents in this 0:06:21.360 --> 0:06:23.840 and again, LeVar, you could speak to this firsthand. 0:06:24.560 --> 0:06:27.080 It's a nasty world. It's a nasty business with cities. 0:06:27.120 --> 0:06:31.560 Agents horrible at the college level, and at they are 0:06:31.720 --> 0:06:37.560 signing high school kids. They're signing high school kids. They're 0:06:37.600 --> 0:06:41.120 representing high school kids. Now, so you're now talking about 0:06:41.160 --> 0:06:45.720 the whole air quotes agency business, the manager air quotes, 0:06:45.839 --> 0:06:52.280 the managing business. Everybody's starting up a practice, every everybody. 0:06:52.600 --> 0:06:55.120 If you got a couple dollars the rub together, you 0:06:55.160 --> 0:06:56.400 got a bag you could deliver. 0:06:56.560 --> 0:06:59.240 All you gotta do is get one. You only gotta 0:06:59.320 --> 0:07:01.520 land one time you land. 0:07:01.600 --> 0:07:05.120 If you land, you what Drew Rosenhaus landed Michael Irving, 0:07:06.480 --> 0:07:08.360 it triggered the growth. 0:07:09.200 --> 0:07:12.400 You know, you get a Michael I believe so. I 0:07:12.440 --> 0:07:13.880 believe that's how I believe. 0:07:13.960 --> 0:07:16.400 So I could be wrong, but but that might have 0:07:16.480 --> 0:07:19.240 been his first big client I'm just saying, if you 0:07:19.360 --> 0:07:21.520 can get a guy that's going to be a potential 0:07:22.160 --> 0:07:24.520 first round draft pick, or you get a guy you're 0:07:24.600 --> 0:07:28.120 you're representing in high school and he ends up becoming. 0:07:29.280 --> 0:07:33.320 A high profile athlete, you've you've basically. 0:07:33.000 --> 0:07:36.920 In essence, given yourself a chance to have a successful startup. 0:07:37.600 --> 0:07:42.720 It's it's crazy because for that to be maybe the 0:07:43.600 --> 0:07:48.480 sun shining on a dog's ass one time in its life. 0:07:48.840 --> 0:07:51.559 Think about all of the families that are are going 0:07:51.640 --> 0:07:56.480 to be impacted and affected by the decisions of these agents, 0:07:57.080 --> 0:08:01.880 air quotes, agencies, these manager there are going. I said 0:08:01.920 --> 0:08:04.640 this when NIL came about, and I don't know if 0:08:04.720 --> 0:08:08.320 y'all remember this, I said that the NIL is going 0:08:08.440 --> 0:08:13.480 it's going to be almost as bad as a drug epidemic. 0:08:14.960 --> 0:08:19.640 It's going to tear families and communities apart. It's going 0:08:19.760 --> 0:08:23.080 to tear the sports community, and it's going to tear 0:08:23.160 --> 0:08:27.480 sports families apart. I said that when when NIL just 0:08:27.520 --> 0:08:31.920 got going, and I stand on that. I stand on 0:08:31.960 --> 0:08:36.880 that it is literally going to destroy families. Money and 0:08:37.000 --> 0:08:42.199 sports has always been a great determining factor in families, 0:08:42.400 --> 0:08:47.319 dynamics relationships. Now you add money where it's not illegal. 0:08:47.800 --> 0:08:51.040 You add money where people can come from all over 0:08:51.080 --> 0:08:55.480 the different places and offer a gain. They can offer 0:08:55.600 --> 0:09:00.440 opportunity to these families and knowing the dire need that 0:09:00.559 --> 0:09:04.480 these families have, how bad off some of these families 0:09:04.520 --> 0:09:08.880 really are, you are you are in essence, basically, you 0:09:08.960 --> 0:09:13.920 are ruining. This is permission to ruin families because you're 0:09:13.920 --> 0:09:17.640 gonna choose the money over your kid. You're gonna choose 0:09:17.640 --> 0:09:20.520 the money over your family. You're gonna choose the money 0:09:21.000 --> 0:09:25.520 and the opportunities over everything else. So it's it's it's 0:09:25.679 --> 0:09:30.280 crazy to me that that there isn't more of a 0:09:31.080 --> 0:09:35.359 real approach to making sure that this is as regulated 0:09:35.440 --> 0:09:39.200 as it can possibly be because it's so open, it's 0:09:39.240 --> 0:09:43.120 so out of control, it's so not governed that all 0:09:43.160 --> 0:09:46.400 it takes is the highest bidder, and you can ruin 0:09:46.440 --> 0:09:51.079 a family. Highest bidder ruins the family because we're gonna 0:09:51.120 --> 0:09:53.559 come take your We're gonna come take your athlete, We're 0:09:53.559 --> 0:09:56.360 gonna come take your son. It should be your son. 0:09:57.160 --> 0:10:00.880 But it's it's a commodity. It's now or an asset, 0:10:01.040 --> 0:10:04.360 and that's it's a it's a sad commentary. 0:10:04.440 --> 0:10:06.840 So what they're trying to do is to create you know, 0:10:06.960 --> 0:10:09.720 more of a vetting process so it can be legitimized. 0:10:09.760 --> 0:10:13.120 And and again in doing that, a union would probably help. 0:10:13.160 --> 0:10:16.080 Now we're seeing the bad of the NFLPA union and 0:10:16.120 --> 0:10:19.440 how unions sometimes can make mistakes and not you know, 0:10:19.520 --> 0:10:23.360 operate in the best way for their union members or employees. 0:10:23.400 --> 0:10:26.640 But in this case, it's necessary to create some frameworks. 0:10:26.760 --> 0:10:29.640 I mean, there's just it's too much, it's too wide open, 0:10:29.679 --> 0:10:32.680 it's you know, it's kind of drastic how it changes 0:10:32.760 --> 0:10:35.920 from from place to place. And the NCAA now has 0:10:35.920 --> 0:10:39.120 no control. So this is why there's kind of a 0:10:39.120 --> 0:10:43.480 call for some sort of federal national action to take place. 0:10:44.240 --> 0:10:46.760 And an executor is going to be faster than what 0:10:46.840 --> 0:10:49.160 we're going to find from Congress. As we know, things 0:10:49.160 --> 0:10:52.319 in Congress tend to take a while. So that's that's 0:10:52.320 --> 0:10:54.480 what they're trying to what attempting to do. You know, 0:10:54.520 --> 0:10:57.120 will be challenged in court. I'm sure, I'm sure someone 0:10:57.120 --> 0:10:59.160 will have an issue with it. Someone will challenge something. 0:10:59.200 --> 0:11:02.520 Someone will you know, create a you know, file a lawsuit, 0:11:02.640 --> 0:11:05.320 and you know that it's still won't be solved, but 0:11:05.360 --> 0:11:07.960 at least it'll get us hopefully a little bit closer. 0:11:08.080 --> 0:11:09.400 Uh to the end the end game? 0:11:09.480 --> 0:11:13.720 How and hopefully again, how wild does it get once 0:11:13.800 --> 0:11:17.920 you have to acknowledge it has to be stated that 0:11:17.960 --> 0:11:21.680 they are employees. Where does this go from from there? 0:11:21.760 --> 0:11:25.200 Because to me, it seems as though that is the 0:11:25.400 --> 0:11:29.559 last crack, that is when the water totally takes down 0:11:29.760 --> 0:11:33.600 the wall and the dam is totally broken. When they 0:11:33.640 --> 0:11:39.800 say this college athlete is an employee and who is 0:11:39.800 --> 0:11:42.839 he an employee to Q? Is he an employee? Is 0:11:42.880 --> 0:11:46.720 he independent contractor? Is he an employee to the football team? 0:11:46.880 --> 0:11:49.240 Is he an employee to the university? What is How 0:11:49.280 --> 0:11:49.880 does that work? 0:11:50.559 --> 0:11:52.600 I would assume it be the university. You know, he'd 0:11:52.600 --> 0:11:54.920 be a W two employee to the university, and they 0:11:54.960 --> 0:11:58.839 will create within that working agreement, you know, language that 0:11:59.800 --> 0:12:02.240 you know sets there the standards, and I would assume 0:12:02.320 --> 0:12:05.800 some of those standards or penalties they could face, would 0:12:05.920 --> 0:12:08.360 would involve them not you know, going through a certain 0:12:08.360 --> 0:12:11.640 amount of education, you know, no different than certain jobs 0:12:11.679 --> 0:12:13.480 kind of require that, right, you know, you've got a 0:12:13.480 --> 0:12:17.200 military baseline. Military's part of that. Yeah, there's there's there's 0:12:17.200 --> 0:12:18.440 a number of ways you can look at it, but 0:12:18.440 --> 0:12:21.679 that would be my best guess and and look again, 0:12:22.960 --> 0:12:25.120 I don't know what really will come from this. It 0:12:25.200 --> 0:12:29.240 could be just political posturing. We see that from time 0:12:29.280 --> 0:12:32.840 to time. I mean, remember that whole lawsuit that dude 0:12:32.880 --> 0:12:34.600 in Ohio had about not having noonkick. 0:12:34.720 --> 0:12:35.280 How's that going. 0:12:36.559 --> 0:12:38.360 Have you heard anything from that guy? Has that guy 0:12:38.400 --> 0:12:38.720 said it? 0:12:39.080 --> 0:12:39.160 No? 0:12:39.480 --> 0:12:40.920 No, I just it. 0:12:41.559 --> 0:12:45.680 That's why you can't read too much into politicians. Now, 0:12:45.800 --> 0:12:47.760 maybe this is different because it's the president of the 0:12:47.840 --> 0:12:50.760 United States, and maybe he can get something done. But 0:12:51.640 --> 0:12:54.280 I don't know. We'll see where all of this goes. 0:12:54.880 --> 0:12:56.760 I'm hopeful, I'll put it that way. 0:12:56.840 --> 0:12:57.400 But I know this. 0:12:58.400 --> 0:13:00.520 If it drags on too long, football is gonna everyone's 0:13:00.520 --> 0:13:02.000 gonna forget about it until next five. 0:13:02.320 --> 0:13:04.199 That's true. That is true. 0:13:04.760 --> 0:13:06.560 So, by the way, we're a little over, like less 0:13:06.559 --> 0:13:09.400 than five weeks away from the first games in college football. 0:13:09.640 --> 0:13:12.520 It's like in the forties, right, It's in the forties 0:13:12.760 --> 0:13:17.720 of days. Yeah, man, I'm excited. Yeah, I'm excited. 0:13:17.840 --> 0:13:19.959 White football's back.

That's dope. 0:13:34.200 --> 0:13:37.280 So you know, the the videos when you liked get 0:13:37.360 --> 0:13:39.600 let everybody let's go. You know, you get hyped up. 0:13:39.720 --> 0:13:41.880 You know he did that for the first time.

Back 0:16:26.440 --> 0:16:29.440 for a second time this week, two days in a row. 0:16:29.840 --> 0:16:33.240 So nice, we did it twice. Albert Breer, Senior NFL reporter, 0:16:33.320 --> 0:16:37.720 lead content strategist at the MMQB, Amazon NFL on Prime Insider. 0:16:37.800 --> 0:16:41.040 Get him on x at Albert Breer, Abe, it's been forever. 0:16:41.120 --> 0:16:41.680 What's going on? 0:16:42.480 --> 0:16:44.520 Yeah? I figured you guys just wanted me to follow 0:16:44.640 --> 0:16:45.840 up in the cold play situation. 0:16:46.080 --> 0:16:49.680 Absolutely, yeah, Actually, do you have any thoughts on that? 0:16:49.760 --> 0:16:51.640 I mean, was it the reaction that got them caught? 0:16:53.040 --> 0:16:55.120 Oh? Yeah, No, I mean I think there's no question 0:16:55.240 --> 0:16:59.040 they had just stood there. Why would anybody post that, right? 0:16:59.120 --> 0:17:01.400 You know what I mean? I guess there's an outside 0:17:01.480 --> 0:17:05.119 chance to get caught that way, and that like maybe 0:17:05.160 --> 0:17:09.200 one of the wife's friends is in the crowd or something, right, Like, 0:17:09.240 --> 0:17:12.879 I guess that's possible, but there's no way like anybody 0:17:12.880 --> 0:17:17.040 would think to post that video if they just stood there, 0:17:17.160 --> 0:17:20.760 or even if they just like waved the camera instead 0:17:20.880 --> 0:17:24.479 and like let go of each other. So cover up 0:17:24.960 --> 0:17:26.200 from the crime, right, Abe? 0:17:26.200 --> 0:17:29.080 You you've been to Julette Stadium many times before, correct? 0:17:29.280 --> 0:17:29.520 Yeah? 0:17:29.560 --> 0:17:32.120 All right, So I blame the lighting that that guy 0:17:32.160 --> 0:17:34.159 thought it was his wife, Like is that? 0:17:34.400 --> 0:17:35.320 How are you going with that? 0:17:35.480 --> 0:17:37.680 Or you think they need some stadium? Yeah? 0:17:37.720 --> 0:17:38.199 I think I think I. 0:17:38.240 --> 0:17:40.520 Gotta figure that thing out and get that sorted through. 0:17:40.960 --> 0:17:44.000 Yeah, yeah, I mean I couldn't get the best of anybody. 0:17:44.040 --> 0:17:47.199 I guess you did use cover up though, and we 0:17:47.280 --> 0:17:49.160 know that that's why you're coming on to the show. 0:17:50.160 --> 0:17:50.400 Him. 0:17:50.480 --> 0:17:54.840 Uh, I am curious what sort of house cleaning are 0:17:54.840 --> 0:17:57.000 we going to get with this team in the NFL 0:17:57.080 --> 0:17:59.719 called the NFLPA, What sort of a how's this going 0:17:59.760 --> 0:18:00.360 to look now? 0:18:00.400 --> 0:18:03.119 Based based on the now resigning. 0:18:03.240 --> 0:18:05.720 Well, it doesn't look great for sure. And you know, 0:18:05.800 --> 0:18:08.119 I think a huge part of this now is going 0:18:08.200 --> 0:18:10.960 to come down to the players getting people in the 0:18:11.040 --> 0:18:15.639 big and trust and you know, after everything that's happened 0:18:15.640 --> 0:18:18.360 over the last you know, three weeks, the revelation things 0:18:18.359 --> 0:18:20.840 that have happened over the last year or so, over 0:18:20.880 --> 0:18:23.679 the last three weeks, I think be really easy for 0:18:23.760 --> 0:18:26.760 any player to be distrustful of the way the union's working. 0:18:26.760 --> 0:18:28.679 And I think, you know, you go back and you 0:18:28.720 --> 0:18:31.440 look like a couple of things, of course, like the 0:18:31.440 --> 0:18:33.720 the fact that you know, like the NFLPA Andre D. 0:18:33.880 --> 0:18:38.439 Smith like viewed exposing collusion is sort of the holy grail. 0:18:38.680 --> 0:18:40.560 And you know, even though they didn't win that case, 0:18:40.760 --> 0:18:45.640 you know, the chance to expose you know, real evidence 0:18:45.880 --> 0:18:50.160 of collusions. And then you know, helping the NFL cover 0:18:50.240 --> 0:18:52.600 it up never made any sense, you know. And then 0:18:53.880 --> 0:18:56.399 and then you know Lloyd Howell's involvement in the private 0:18:56.400 --> 0:18:59.439 equity firm that was one of the small circle of 0:18:59.480 --> 0:19:02.560 firms that were approved to buy into NFL teams, you know, 0:19:02.600 --> 0:19:05.399 put them extensively in business with the NFL. You know. 0:19:05.600 --> 0:19:08.480 So I mean, look like, I know a lot of 0:19:08.520 --> 0:19:10.640 people don't care about conflict of interest and that sort 0:19:10.640 --> 0:19:14.240 of thing, but you know, the players have to walk 0:19:14.280 --> 0:19:17.240 a very very fine line to get what they want. 0:19:17.440 --> 0:19:20.520 It's I think that the NFLPA has challenges that the 0:19:20.560 --> 0:19:23.720 other sports unions don't have. I think it's more difficult 0:19:23.840 --> 0:19:26.320 for the NFL p A to get what they want 0:19:26.359 --> 0:19:29.199 because of the number of people that are serving, because 0:19:29.200 --> 0:19:32.040 of you know, because the number of players that are 0:19:32.040 --> 0:19:35.200 a non guaranteed contrast, because of the lack of time 0:19:35.320 --> 0:19:39.640 that the bulk of the league spends playing professional football. 0:19:40.720 --> 0:19:42.480 There are a ton of challenges that go into it. 0:19:42.600 --> 0:19:45.520 So they've got a big old mess in their hands now, 0:19:45.840 --> 0:19:49.000 and you know, I would it wouldn't surprise me to 0:19:49.040 --> 0:19:52.040 see somebody like John Davis, next player in the in 0:19:52.560 --> 0:19:55.399 the leadership role for now and then they figure out 0:19:55.400 --> 0:19:56.560 what they're doing going forward. 0:19:58.320 --> 0:20:01.200 One thing that I always think think of in these 0:20:01.200 --> 0:20:06.320 circumstances is, I mean, what so And I've said this 0:20:06.359 --> 0:20:07.840 earlier when we were talking about the subject, like a 0:20:07.880 --> 0:20:11.920 week ago. The PA has always assumed that the ownership, 0:20:12.040 --> 0:20:13.280 the owners were colluding. 0:20:14.040 --> 0:20:15.399 Yep, and then you're you're. 0:20:15.280 --> 0:20:17.920 Basically through all of this have proven that that's the case. 0:20:18.640 --> 0:20:20.840 Yep, what's the what's the recourse? 0:20:20.880 --> 0:20:22.320 I mean, at the end of the day, there's thirty 0:20:22.359 --> 0:20:24.480 one majority owners, there's Green Bay, which is a unique 0:20:24.480 --> 0:20:28.359 ownership group, and the players are the players, and so like, 0:20:28.560 --> 0:20:33.439 what could they do exposing that? That then forces the 0:20:33.560 --> 0:20:36.320 NFL to change and not collude moving forward. 0:20:37.640 --> 0:20:40.680 Well, I mean Brady puts the league's anti trust exemption 0:20:41.000 --> 0:20:44.760 at you know, in peril, which is you know really, 0:20:45.320 --> 0:20:47.679 I mean, it's that's the next extential thing for for 0:20:47.760 --> 0:20:51.080 the NFL. You know. Yeah, this is sort of the 0:20:51.119 --> 0:20:54.560 difference between like, you know, the sports over here and 0:20:55.080 --> 0:20:57.720 say soccer in Europe. You know that they don't deal 0:20:57.760 --> 0:21:00.000 with this because they aren't operating monopolies. They are different 0:21:00.080 --> 0:21:03.520
