He's running some silly amount of 3 00:00:07,880 --> 00:00:10,400 Speaker 1: miles in the trails. So we're bringing a pinch hitter, 4 00:00:10,440 --> 00:00:13,800 Speaker 1: colleague Ira Boudway coming in. Welcome to the podcast. Thank 5 00:00:13,800 --> 00:00:15,760 Speaker 1: you guys for having me very excited. I don't run, 6 00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:19,440 Speaker 1: but you do, have you want to run away, I'll 7 00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:22,400 Speaker 1: stay here all darn night. This is the Bloomberg Business 8 00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:25,200 Speaker 1: of Sports podcast, where we explore the big money issues 9 00:00:25,239 --> 00:00:27,560 Speaker 1: in the world of sports. And today we begin with 10 00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:32,839 Speaker 1: word from the NFL Players Association that more than of 11 00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:35,680 Speaker 1: the grievances filed by players over the past two years 12 00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:40,320 Speaker 1: were against one team, the Jacksonville Jaguars. I'm gonna say 13 00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:43,840 Speaker 1: Jaguars too. And I think Ira, it's like some people 14 00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:46,720 Speaker 1: like Cilantro and some don't. I think Ira was one 15 00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:50,479 Speaker 1: of those people who genetically says Jack Wires. I said Jaguar. 16 00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:54,160 Speaker 1: Why why is jack It's Jaguar. I grew up in Arizona. 17 00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:56,840 Speaker 1: Al Right, Well, there we haven't. But far more importantly, 18 00:00:57,480 --> 00:01:02,720 Speaker 1: one more importantly, what the NFL p A is saying 19 00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:06,720 Speaker 1: to its members is a fellas we'd like you to 20 00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:11,680 Speaker 1: be aware of this when you're making your free agent decisions, 21 00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:16,280 Speaker 1: when you're evaluating where should I play with the offers, 22 00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:18,800 Speaker 1: where should I go? Where do I want to spend 23 00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:22,600 Speaker 1: my career. This is a dangerous thing for the NFL, 24 00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:27,840 Speaker 1: for the Jacksonville Jaguars, when the union itself is telling 25 00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:31,240 Speaker 1: its members, big flashing warning sign on this club, be 26 00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:33,679 Speaker 1: wary if you're going to sign. That's what the NFL 27 00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:36,959 Speaker 1: p A is signing. I've never quite heard something like 28 00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:40,240 Speaker 1: that before from a union like that in the National 29 00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:42,039 Speaker 1: Football League. But here we are, all right, do you 30 00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:44,240 Speaker 1: have some stats in your krip sheets there? Well? I 31 00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:47,120 Speaker 1: have the So Dante Fowler Jr. Turns out to be 32 00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:49,640 Speaker 1: the guy who has find seven hundred thousand over time, 33 00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:53,120 Speaker 1: and then he was find twenty five times now with 34 00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:56,080 Speaker 1: the Rams, and he tweeted we know this because he tweeted, 35 00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:59,880 Speaker 1: they literally hated me. I got it all back thanks 36 00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:02,280 Speaker 1: of the NFL p A. We should add that the 37 00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:05,440 Speaker 1: reason why it was fine because he missed rehab appointments 38 00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:09,840 Speaker 1: better illegally. Yeah. The arbitrator then said that the team 39 00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:12,760 Speaker 1: can't mandate that he do them at the training facility, 40 00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:15,600 Speaker 1: so they're fighting, and with honing, with holding money for 41 00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:18,960 Speaker 1: things that they can't do. That's a problem. I just 42 00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:22,400 Speaker 1: don't understand how first of all they were they would 43 00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:25,000 Speaker 1: have gotten away with it if if he didn't speak up, 44 00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:28,760 Speaker 1: but seven dollars my goodness, Yeah, even you would miss 45 00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:30,720 Speaker 1: that and you check, Oh yeah, well, you know I 46 00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:33,120 Speaker 1: couldn't get that refrigerator that I wanted. Yeah, right, well, 47 00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:36,080 Speaker 1: you know, like Tom Coughlin runs their football operations, and 48 00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:38,760 Speaker 1: remember when he was with the Giants, it didn't sit 49 00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:42,080 Speaker 1: well with some players where it was like if you're 50 00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:44,720 Speaker 1: if you're on time or two minutes early, you're late 51 00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:47,799 Speaker 1: like that. Remember that it was sort of this, you 52 00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:49,560 Speaker 1: should be ten minutes early if you want to be 53 00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:52,000 Speaker 1: on time. And he was really strict with that sort 54 00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:54,600 Speaker 1: of stuff. That doesn't play well with the athletes today. 55 00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:56,240 Speaker 1: If you're meeting is at noon and you get there 56 00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:59,600 Speaker 1: before noon, you're on time. So he's a real stickler. 57 00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:02,200 Speaker 1: But we can also expect due to the fact that 58 00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:04,720 Speaker 1: they didn't win a whole lot of games, would would 59 00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:07,400 Speaker 1: you guess there's gonna be some heavy turnover and not 60 00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:10,720 Speaker 1: only maybe coaching in the front office of the Jaguars 61 00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:12,760 Speaker 1: that's what that's what's being reported. But I wonder though, 62 00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:15,239 Speaker 1: was most players you're you're sort of your career is 63 00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:18,320 Speaker 1: pretty precarious anyway, and if the Jaguars give you an offer, 64 00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:20,800 Speaker 1: unless you're a real talented free agent with a lot 65 00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:23,640 Speaker 1: of leverage, you're probably gonna look past any of this stuff. 66 00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:25,400 Speaker 1: If you're trying to get off the taxi squad, Like, 67 00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:26,959 Speaker 1: are you really going to say, well, the NFL p 68 00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:29,320 Speaker 1: A said it's a bad place to work, look at 69 00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:31,960 Speaker 1: you bring it in the reality of dollars and cents 70 00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:34,200 Speaker 1: to the NFL. If they're gonna pay me more than 71 00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:37,200 Speaker 1: anybody else and they get a job a spot. Yeah, 72 00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:39,160 Speaker 1: if I can get a job, I'm gonna take it, 73 00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:42,000 Speaker 1: no matter like I'll worry about the fines lyrics. I'll 74 00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:44,360 Speaker 1: be the dude that, just like you know that will 75 00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:48,360 Speaker 1: hold up like the parabolic mike. I do that. You'd 76 00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:50,320 Speaker 1: be the guy that gets run over by the players, 77 00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:53,880 Speaker 1: crashing into the guy with parabolic mike. Remember the Fortune Cookie, 78 00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:55,720 Speaker 1: the movie The Fortune Cookie. I have no idea what 79 00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:59,520 Speaker 1: he's sucking it had Walter Man, I Love I Love 80 00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:02,440 Speaker 1: Me Some both a method and at the time Jack 81 00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:06,920 Speaker 1: Lemmon was supposed to be a cameraman and it had 82 00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:09,320 Speaker 1: Keith Jackson in it too, believe it or not. And 83 00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:12,440 Speaker 1: he's he gets run over by a play and then 84 00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:14,240 Speaker 1: here comes the suit and this and that one. What's 85 00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:17,120 Speaker 1: your favorite football movie? Oh my goodness, just for that. 86 00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:20,120 Speaker 1: It's holiday time. We can do this, Rudy really because 87 00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:23,440 Speaker 1: you cry? Yes, I knew it? Did Am?

I'm always struck 90 00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:36,960 Speaker 1: between um North Dallas forty how about them? Which I 91 00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:39,400 Speaker 1: laugh at? And uh, you know what's Burt Reynolds in 92 00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:44,880 Speaker 1: the end the original longest? Yeah? Yeah, I mean between 93 00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:48,200 Speaker 1: between those two. I I if I stumble upon it, 94 00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:50,240 Speaker 1: I'm up the rest of the night. How many points 95 00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:52,120 Speaker 1: is that? Three point three points for that? For that 96 00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:58,280 Speaker 1: freing machine, freen machine moving around along? This is an 97 00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:01,960 Speaker 1: easy one. Who's going to win the NFL MVP Award? 98 00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:05,240 Speaker 1: We know it's gonna be well, we hope, look at you, 99 00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:07,760 Speaker 1: we do we hope, we hope. I'm not hoping. This man, 100 00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:12,680 Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson, Baltimore quarterback is awesome, not only of course 101 00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:14,960 Speaker 1: that he's up in the running for that, but he 102 00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:17,880 Speaker 1: is so popular you can tell by his jersey sales. 103 00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:21,559 Speaker 1: Anybody in your house have Lamar Jackson jersey or want one. No, 104 00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:24,640 Speaker 1: my the NFL doesn't rate is highly. Although I guess 105 00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:27,760 Speaker 1: my son would go for a Tom Brady. So that's 106 00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:30,560 Speaker 1: why he still looked out. Well, you know, my kid 107 00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:33,919 Speaker 1: is ten and no sort of holiday time. Hey, what 108 00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:35,120 Speaker 1: do you look at? What do you like? Who do 109 00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:38,200 Speaker 1: they do any He's funny, he said, Well, the reason 110 00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:40,640 Speaker 1: he didn't want to Lamar Jackson jersey. He would have. 111 00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:43,719 Speaker 1: And he's not a huge NFL fan, by the way, 112 00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:46,560 Speaker 1: but because so many of his pals do fantasy that 113 00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:48,359 Speaker 1: he's now starting to pay attention. So I guess he 114 00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:51,560 Speaker 1: can be included in the conversation. But everybody's talking with 115 00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:55,400 Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson, Lamar Jackson. But this is his mentality because 116 00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:58,800 Speaker 1: they want Lamar. He said, Well, I guess if I 117 00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:00,760 Speaker 1: if I was gonna wear a sure it would be 118 00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:03,720 Speaker 1: Pat Mahomes. Now I can see that. Yeah, I mean 119 00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:05,880 Speaker 1: still good, but he just didn't want to be in 120 00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:09,640 Speaker 1: on the trend. But for folks whose kids do say 121 00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:13,440 Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson good luck from the Washington Post, I mean, 122 00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:15,680 Speaker 1: if you want his personal apparel, and he's got that 123 00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:20,120 Speaker 1: Era eight that's his his jersey number. The hundred items 124 00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:24,120 Speaker 1: on his own website sold out like not even you 125 00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:26,479 Speaker 1: could go look a hooded pull over sweatshirt featuring a 126 00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:29,400 Speaker 1: design with the word pressure on it that's available but 127 00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:34,039 Speaker 1: only in three xl Oh. Yeah, I mean you have 128 00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:37,640 Speaker 1: a little room, a little room but could still happen. 129 00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:41,280 Speaker 1: But but now, yes, you have Lamar Jackson obviously, who 130 00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:44,200 Speaker 1: is a big time in the running. And you have 131 00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:49,520 Speaker 1: Russell Wilson also could win this war, and so many 132 00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:51,680 Speaker 1: people in play right now. Yeah, but I mean this guy, 133 00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:54,680 Speaker 1: the NFL needs this, Like you know, he's got this 134 00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:58,320 Speaker 1: infectious smile, He's an exciting player. His all of his 135 00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:03,039 Speaker 1: merchandise sold out on Cyber Monday, Like they need guys 136 00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:05,120 Speaker 1: like this that people want to watch in prime time. 137 00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:07,520 Speaker 1: You give me Mahomes versus Lamar Jackson on a Sunday 138 00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:10,080 Speaker 1: or Monday night, even I might tune in for some 139 00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:12,080 Speaker 1: of that. Yeah, I mean, to me, he's the next 140 00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:15,440 Speaker 1: Michael Vick, where any play could be the most exciting. 141 00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:17,600 Speaker 1: Did you see Vic talking about him, by the way, Yeah, 142 00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:24,480 Speaker 1: it's great to see the players, don't begrudge. Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah, 143 00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:27,280 Speaker 1: especially when it's like, well he shouldn't be paid that much, right, right, 144 00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:29,320 Speaker 1: but he was just paying homage. Should this young kid 145 00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:33,920 Speaker 1: who come in just yeah, it's just great. I love it. Yeah, 146 00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:36,320 Speaker 1: he's really good and I like even I like watching 147 00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:40,240 Speaker 1: them play. Exactly. Go ahead, bar Finally, gentlemen, let's discuss 148 00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:44,920 Speaker 1: the p g A Tours new broadcast contracts. Well, how 149 00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:48,480 Speaker 1: often on this program did we discuss rights fees and 150 00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:51,320 Speaker 1: the things that are coming up the NFL in two 151 00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:55,240 Speaker 1: and is there some sort of tipping point and will 152 00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:58,720 Speaker 1: the fangs be bidders and what's that gonna do? Ira. 153 00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:01,200 Speaker 1: I'm not a golfer, don't watch a lot of golf 154 00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:04,080 Speaker 1: on TV, but it would seem that some of the 155 00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:08,360 Speaker 1: major broadcast folks seem there's a real good market for this. Yeah, 156 00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:11,640 Speaker 1: I mean anytime now when you see the price go up, 157 00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:13,880 Speaker 1: was it going from potentially four d million a year 158 00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:16,240 Speaker 1: to seven hundred million years what's being reported? My quick 159 00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:19,880 Speaker 1: math is now, when I see that, I don't know 160 00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:22,720 Speaker 1: that it reflects a growing audience or an audience getting 161 00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:25,600 Speaker 1: any younger, especially for golf. I think it reflects scarcity 162 00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:28,720 Speaker 1: and it may even I mean, if if what we're 163 00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:31,280 Speaker 1: seeing is it may even show a diminution in the audience, 164 00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:32,679 Speaker 1: but you got to hold onto what you can hold 165 00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:35,040 Speaker 1: on exactly. It's just that much harder now to find 166 00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:37,480 Speaker 1: any kind of live audience. So where it's out there, 167 00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:39,120 Speaker 1: you've got to grab it. Let's go back to the 168 00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:40,920 Speaker 1: John Skipper. You listen to me when I talk on 169 00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:44,400 Speaker 1: this show, bar what did John Skipper say about eyeballs? 170 00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:48,000 Speaker 1: As long as I can get the eyeballs, get as 171 00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:50,400 Speaker 1: many as you can get the eyeballs, it's then it's 172 00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:53,440 Speaker 1: my job to figure out how to monetize those eyeballs. 173 00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:57,240 Speaker 1: But we got to get the eyeballs. And still sports 174 00:08:57,360 --> 00:09:02,120 Speaker 1: right now is one of those lad pustions of eyeball aggregation. 175 00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:05,200 Speaker 1: Particularly again, what a rebound year for the NFL. Yeah, 176 00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:07,240 Speaker 1: I just wonder how long can you ride this though? 177 00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:09,640 Speaker 1: How long can you say? Good? Well, it's just hard 178 00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:11,240 Speaker 1: to find, so you gotta come to us. So the 179 00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:13,160 Speaker 1: price keeps going up. I mean a certain point of 180 00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:15,600 Speaker 1: smaller audience is a smaller audience. But we we will 181 00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:19,240 Speaker 1: have some discussions later on in the month, particularly in 182 00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:21,120 Speaker 1: our in our year and recap show, in our look 183 00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:27,079 Speaker 1: ahead with the advance and data and everything that broadcasters 184 00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:29,760 Speaker 1: and with the aid of Facebook, because sports leads are 185 00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:32,640 Speaker 1: being aided by Facebook right now. The more you know 186 00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:37,240 Speaker 1: about your customer, while that audience may be shrinking, the 187 00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:41,480 Speaker 1: value proposition for each one of those people that you 188 00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:45,160 Speaker 1: can bring in is skyrocketing because one day we're gonna 189 00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:49,120 Speaker 1: be watching the same game. Yet when it's a commercial break, 190 00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:52,160 Speaker 1: you'll get something for cough medicine because your kids sick. 191 00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:54,600 Speaker 1: I will get to Lamar Jackson, Jersey because I looked 192 00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:58,600 Speaker 1: for it, and bar will get some heavy alcohol. Right. Yeah, 193 00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:06,040 Speaker 1: didn't know where to go with that. I mean, you 194 00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:08,000 Speaker 1: see in this deal at ESPN plus maybe going to 195 00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:09,640 Speaker 1: come in for the digital rights, and I think that's 196 00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:12,440 Speaker 1: exactly the point. They think it can drive digital subscriptions 197 00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:14,360 Speaker 1: and they think they can find value in and that's 198 00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:16,920 Speaker 1: so maybe maybe that's what keeps it all flow. And 199 00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:20,280 Speaker 1: you know, when you're signing up digital customers, you tend 200 00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:22,440 Speaker 1: to get more information from them, and you're and you're 201 00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:25,480 Speaker 1: constantly saying, you know, hey, what's your kid's birthday, what's 202 00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:28,360 Speaker 1: your birthday? You're just and we're giving we willingly give 203 00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:31,760 Speaker 1: up this information. So they can glean more and more 204 00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:36,520 Speaker 1: from audience behavior, particularly individual sets, saying what you're gonna be. 205 00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:38,480 Speaker 1: It's not gonna not just anybody in the audience. You're 206 00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:40,800 Speaker 1: gonna be Ira right now. What does Ira want? How 207 00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:43,960 Speaker 1: can we serve Ira? That way? The value proposition goes 208 00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:46,000 Speaker 1: up for the advertise, I'll give a little tease from 209 00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:49,280 Speaker 1: something coming because I talked I talked to Adam Silver 210 00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:51,679 Speaker 1: about Joe Sigh and he was saying that one time 211 00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:55,680 Speaker 1: UH Side showed him had the Ali Baba with the 212 00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:57,720 Speaker 1: way they do highlights.
