The world changing and 2 00:00:04,640 --> 00:00:06,440 Speaker 1: what are the things we can do to transform a 3 00:00:06,480 --> 00:00:09,600 Speaker 1: business and engage our fans globally in different ways. People 4 00:00:09,600 --> 00:00:12,400 Speaker 1: are using their name and likeness to create more opportunities, 5 00:00:12,480 --> 00:00:15,520 Speaker 1: more stakes and companies in order to turn the organization around. 6 00:00:15,560 --> 00:00:17,279 Speaker 1: We had to turn it around not only gets on 7 00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:20,959 Speaker 1: baseball operations side, but other business operations side well, and 8 00:00:21,079 --> 00:00:23,079 Speaker 1: any other sport is very difficult, but I like to 9 00:00:23,079 --> 00:00:26,560 Speaker 1: plug my horizons and be able to expand. Sports need 10 00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:29,720 Speaker 1: to be consumed a lot and not to big competitive 11 00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:33,640 Speaker 1: advantage for in artual property holders of sports content in 12 00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:39,879 Speaker 1: the media landscape. Bloomberg Business of Sports from Bloomberg Radio. Hello, 13 00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:42,960 Speaker 1: I'm Michael barn and I'm Mike Lynch and I'm Scarlett 14 00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:46,640 Speaker 1: Foo and this is the Bloomberg Business of Sports podcast. 15 00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:49,239 Speaker 1: And we're talking about some of the biggest issues in 16 00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:52,960 Speaker 1: the sports industry. And we have a lot to talk about. 17 00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:56,160 Speaker 1: So I don't know where to begin, So let's start. 18 00:00:56,640 --> 00:01:00,440 Speaker 1: Let's say we Kyrie Irming. I want to start with him. 19 00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:04,440 Speaker 1: Uh And he has a bit of a reputation, doesn't he. Yeah, yeah, 20 00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:07,920 Speaker 1: he was the one that said that the Earth is flat. Okay, 21 00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:12,480 Speaker 1: that's a reputation. And now you know he's he's an 22 00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:16,360 Speaker 1: antivactor and he's pushing that around the league and it's 23 00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:21,240 Speaker 1: gaining traction. Uh Lynjay Kyrie Irving was with the Celtics 24 00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:24,880 Speaker 1: were about a year, wasn't he was? He's a contrarian. Um. 25 00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:27,039 Speaker 1: If you said, boy, it's a sunny day today, he said, no, 26 00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:29,040 Speaker 1: it looks like it's raining to me. And that's just 27 00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:32,840 Speaker 1: his his nature. Um. The bigger problem here is that 28 00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:35,959 Speaker 1: a number of cities have mandated Now New York is 29 00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:38,520 Speaker 1: one of them. They housed Madison Square Garden for the 30 00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:42,919 Speaker 1: Knicks and the Barcley Center for his team, the Brooklyn Nets, 31 00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:46,720 Speaker 1: San Francisco's Chase Center which houses the Warriors, and now 32 00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:50,120 Speaker 1: the Boston Garden has come on board and saying all players, 33 00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:54,080 Speaker 1: anybody that enters the building must be vaccinated. So there's 34 00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:55,920 Speaker 1: going to come to a head right here. Some players 35 00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:59,080 Speaker 1: have threatened to miss home games because they just don't 36 00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:01,520 Speaker 1: want to get vaccinated. So there's no leading for half 37 00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:05,240 Speaker 1: the season at forty one games. Forty one games if 38 00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:07,680 Speaker 1: they stand up to it, absolutely, so there's gonna be 39 00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:11,360 Speaker 1: a big problem here. Um. However, you can dodge it 40 00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:14,800 Speaker 1: if you have a religious issues, and of course that 41 00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:17,880 Speaker 1: goes all the way back to Muhammad Ali and refusing 42 00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:21,560 Speaker 1: induction into the United States Army because of religious convictions. 43 00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:23,440 Speaker 1: So I think we got we're headed to court here 44 00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:26,760 Speaker 1: unless there's some type of resolution. And it's not just him, obviously, 45 00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:29,280 Speaker 1: because they're fifty to sixty NBA players who have yet 46 00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:33,520 Speaker 1: to receive a single vaccine dose um according to some reports. 47 00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:36,040 Speaker 1: So there's a lot of people who are kind of 48 00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:39,760 Speaker 1: using Kyrie as as a as a case study. There's 49 00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:42,680 Speaker 1: one person we haven't heard from also, who's a big, 50 00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:46,520 Speaker 1: big name in the NBA is Lebron James. He has 51 00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:49,240 Speaker 1: not mentioned if he has taken the vaccine or not. 52 00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:52,440 Speaker 1: I don't understand what the what the problem is now. 53 00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:55,760 Speaker 1: Kareem Abdul Jabbar came out and of course he is 54 00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:58,680 Speaker 1: a Muslim, and he said he went on camera with 55 00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:01,520 Speaker 1: Arnold Schwarzenegger and got his vaccination right away. And he 56 00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:04,679 Speaker 1: just said, you know people who are post a science here, 57 00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:06,600 Speaker 1: if their child was sick, they take them right to 58 00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:08,359 Speaker 1: a doctor. What can I do? Doctor? Can I get 59 00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:10,600 Speaker 1: to Can I get some medicine? Get some penicillan? A 60 00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:12,880 Speaker 1: moxicillan to help my child right here. Yet when it 61 00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:16,359 Speaker 1: comes to vaccination for themselves, they're refusing to do so. 62 00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:19,040 Speaker 1: And he does very different generation though, And I suppose 63 00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:21,680 Speaker 1: if you're an NBA player who hasn't gotten vaccinated, you 64 00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:24,520 Speaker 1: can look at what happened with the bubble format that 65 00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:26,880 Speaker 1: they did last year and say, you know it worked. 66 00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:29,799 Speaker 1: Was a perfect no, but it did work. Just a 67 00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:33,160 Speaker 1: point of contrast here the NHL apparently nine of the 68 00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:37,480 Speaker 1: players are vaccinated, So, um, just different winner sport in 69 00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:40,720 Speaker 1: some cases similar arenas right MSG for both the Rangers 70 00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:43,120 Speaker 1: and the next Um, you have a higher level of 71 00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:47,520 Speaker 1: compliance there. And this isn't just like Kyrie, Okayrie, come 72 00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:50,880 Speaker 1: on now. Nope. Irving serves as vice president on the 73 00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:55,440 Speaker 1: executive committee of the players Union, so this brings up 74 00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:59,080 Speaker 1: many issues and he can he can push this now 75 00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:01,800 Speaker 1: to the union, is like, hey, why do we have 76 00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:04,840 Speaker 1: to get vaccinated? Now, I'm not getting into, you know, 77 00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:07,920 Speaker 1: the argument of should you get vaccinated or shouldn't get vaccinated? 78 00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:11,960 Speaker 1: And you know that's what you want, you know whatever. 79 00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:15,320 Speaker 1: But I am saying is that how much of a 80 00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:18,600 Speaker 1: disruption could this be for the upcoming season? Well, if 81 00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:20,680 Speaker 1: if the players don't play in home games, that's a 82 00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:23,599 Speaker 1: massive disruption. Sure it is at the camps. The report 83 00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:25,440 Speaker 1: the camp next week. The first game I think is 84 00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:28,280 Speaker 1: October nineteen. So this is coming down the track very 85 00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:31,440 Speaker 1: very quickly. You know, standing from the outside looking in. 86 00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:34,640 Speaker 1: If every fan in the arena has to be vaccinated 87 00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:37,480 Speaker 1: and show proof of it, and everybody on the sideline, coaches, 88 00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:42,000 Speaker 1: assistant coaches, concessionnaires, ushers, security people, you name it, the 89 00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:44,480 Speaker 1: people that drive the zamboni have to be vaccinated, why 90 00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:47,320 Speaker 1: shouldn't the players have to? Why are they any different? 91 00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:52,440 Speaker 1: Tampa Bay Rays, they're going to display the Montreal signed 92 00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:57,159 Speaker 1: during playoffs and uh call us call it a custody 93 00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:01,960 Speaker 1: shared custody moment. Uh. And this is interesting in many 94 00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:05,280 Speaker 1: ways because this could split the future of home schedules 95 00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:08,760 Speaker 1: between the two cities. Gentlemen and ladies and gentlemen lady 96 00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:13,479 Speaker 1: and gentlemen lady. And I don't like it. I don't 97 00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:17,160 Speaker 1: like it. It can happen until but apparently there's a 98 00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:21,200 Speaker 1: there's a sort of a gentleman's agreement that the Tampa 99 00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:24,640 Speaker 1: Bay Rays will in that season, will start spring training 100 00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:26,880 Speaker 1: in Tampa, open the season in Tampa and then play 101 00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:29,920 Speaker 1: the rest of the year in Montreal, and should they 102 00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:33,480 Speaker 1: make the playoffs, they would split between Tampa and Montreal. 103 00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:36,560 Speaker 1: I mean, who are we? What team are Montreal? Are 104 00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:39,480 Speaker 1: we Tampa Bay? What about families? Okay, I've got my 105 00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:41,720 Speaker 1: children in school. Do I move them out and from 106 00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:43,840 Speaker 1: Tampa up to Montreal? So I gotta move them back 107 00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:46,400 Speaker 1: to Tampa right now? Taxes, There's an all kinds of 108 00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:49,040 Speaker 1: issues here. I don't like it. It's not like is 109 00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:52,800 Speaker 1: no less two no, no kidding, And you know it's 110 00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:54,599 Speaker 1: a lot For years and years and years when when 111 00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:56,880 Speaker 1: teams were trying to build a regional fan base, like 112 00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:59,800 Speaker 1: the Boston Celtics, even during the Larry Bird era, played 113 00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:02,360 Speaker 1: five have home games every year in Hartford, Connecticut to 114 00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:04,640 Speaker 1: try to build up a New England fan base. But 115 00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:06,640 Speaker 1: you know that was like a two hour bus ride. 116 00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:09,120 Speaker 1: This this is Montreal in Tampa. This is a long 117 00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:11,760 Speaker 1: plane ride. It's not necessarily the two cities that I 118 00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:14,400 Speaker 1: would lump together as makes a lot of sense. But 119 00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:18,159 Speaker 1: I mean Montreal baseball fans are kind of desperate for 120 00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:20,839 Speaker 1: some baseball, right I mean, they have seen I think 121 00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:24,080 Speaker 1: half a dozen games played in Montreal since the Expos 122 00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:28,760 Speaker 1: left the city um and each time those preseason games 123 00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:31,400 Speaker 1: have drawn about a hundred thousand fans to Olympic Stadium. 124 00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:34,720 Speaker 1: So there's definitely a market there and that's who benefits, 125 00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:38,159 Speaker 1: right the businessmen and women who are looking at this 126 00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:41,960 Speaker 1: as an opportunity. Personally, I wonder how much of this 127 00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:44,880 Speaker 1: is a ploy to put pressure on, you know, create 128 00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:47,880 Speaker 1: some leverage to for local governments and maybe pony up 129 00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:50,159 Speaker 1: more cash for a new ballpark. You know, you've seen 130 00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:53,359 Speaker 1: this happen before in other sports with other teams in 131 00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:56,880 Speaker 1: other cities being scarlett. You know, I've been to this 132 00:06:57,240 --> 00:07:00,360 Speaker 1: Tropicana Field in Tampa a number of times and end 133 00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:04,920 Speaker 1: and you have to drive from Tampa along this very 134 00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:07,920 Speaker 1: you know causeway, which you know, during the daylight hours, 135 00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:09,880 Speaker 1: you know, it's fine, but nighttime it can be a 136 00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:13,160 Speaker 1: little bit perilous, you know, and a little bit intimidating. 137 00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:16,440 Speaker 1: So a lot of the people, especially the elderly, I'm 138 00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:19,360 Speaker 1: gonna get in their car and drive a car around this. 139 00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:22,280 Speaker 1: This this a long causeway out to St. Petersburg to 140 00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:26,480 Speaker 1: watch baseball games, they only average nine thousand, seventy people 141 00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:30,480 Speaker 1: per game. The answer is to build a stadium down 142 00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:34,720 Speaker 1: close to the Raymond James Stadium with the Buccaneers play. 143 00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:38,280 Speaker 1: There's also a great arena downtown with the Tampa Bay 144 00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:40,600 Speaker 1: Lightning play. This is a hotbed right now that all 145 00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:43,760 Speaker 1: teams are winning championships, are appearing in World Series. I 146 00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:45,520 Speaker 1: agree with you Scarlett. I think it's a little bit 147 00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:48,200 Speaker 1: of a strong armplay to get a stadium built in 148 00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:50,880 Speaker 1: Tampa and take it out of St. Peter. The answer 149 00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:53,640 Speaker 1: seems to always be build a new stadium, doesn't Michael 150 00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:57,040 Speaker 1: Barr Yeah, and an old man Bar has a stupid question. 151 00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:01,840 Speaker 1: Why not just simply we're gonna do let's expand the 152 00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:04,360 Speaker 1: major league teams. If you want to do that, go ahead. 153 00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:08,640 Speaker 1: Why not bring back Montreal? Yeah? But the problem I 154 00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:11,640 Speaker 1: have is that Baseball. Major League Baseball took over ownership 155 00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:14,320 Speaker 1: of the Expos in two thousand four because they were 156 00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:17,640 Speaker 1: not financially solvent and they were not attracting fans, and 157 00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:20,520 Speaker 1: they moved them to Washington, the Montreal Expos and now 158 00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:23,440 Speaker 1: the Washington Nationals. So if it failed once, why are 159 00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:24,920 Speaker 1: we going to go back and do it again? With 160 00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:27,400 Speaker 1: Major League Baseball already got one team in Canada that 161 00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:29,600 Speaker 1: had a huge problem this year because they couldn't play 162 00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:32,840 Speaker 1: any home games because of COVID. Let's move on to 163 00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:37,959 Speaker 1: the Ryder Cup. And I and I Charlie extraordinary engineer 164 00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:41,600 Speaker 1: and producer, and the US won the Ryder Cup. And 165 00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:45,360 Speaker 1: he said, hey, did you see the clip of the 166 00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:49,640 Speaker 1: golfers drinking beer? I'm like, what what are you talking about? 167 00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:55,760 Speaker 1: They had Well, if you haven't seen this video, apparently, 168 00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:58,560 Speaker 1: let me set it up right quick. Kind of what 169 00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:02,440 Speaker 1: happened here? Uh, the US, as you know, they won, 170 00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:08,400 Speaker 1: they and they had a sizeable lead. And as they're 171 00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:11,560 Speaker 1: on the course now we really haven't gotten into heated 172 00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:16,480 Speaker 1: competition yet, all of a sudden, Uh, some people in 173 00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:20,800 Speaker 1: the gallery throw the golfers. Uh. And they weren't really 174 00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:24,000 Speaker 1: going to play. These weren't the golfers and we're gonna play. 175 00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:28,440 Speaker 1: But they threw them beers. And so the golfers said, 176 00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:33,880 Speaker 1: you know what, that looks tasty, and they cracked open 177 00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:38,280 Speaker 1: and they chugged the beer. Now, the crowd loved it, 178 00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:42,640 Speaker 1: and then of course, you know, the crowd started chanting Usa, Usa. Uh. 179 00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:48,559 Speaker 1: My question is uh is it? Let me let me 180 00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:52,280 Speaker 1: put it this way. Was it tasteful? Not? I'm not 181 00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:55,160 Speaker 1: talking about the beer want to capture the younger generation 182 00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:58,680 Speaker 1: than it certainly was very effective. How about that it worked, 183 00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:02,000 Speaker 1: It can go viral. I mean, our producer Charlie just said, 184 00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:04,760 Speaker 1: you know, so that I can understand whether this is 185 00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:07,319 Speaker 1: normal or not in the in the land of golf, 186 00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:10,839 Speaker 1: it's as if the Rangers came back after the second 187 00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:13,120 Speaker 1: information at the beginning of the third period and we're 188 00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:17,520 Speaker 1: warming up and some fans tossed the fourth liners can 189 00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:19,440 Speaker 1: of beer and they decided to open up and start 190 00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:23,160 Speaker 1: chugging it before the game resumed. You know, is that normal? 191 00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:25,439 Speaker 1: Maybe hockey it's a little bit more normal. I'm guessing 192 00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:28,560 Speaker 1: in golf it's not. Well. These two players, Daniel Berger 193 00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:31,520 Speaker 1: and Justin Thomas, were not playing in the afternoon session. 194 00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:34,480 Speaker 1: They came out and they they actually started throwing beers 195 00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:36,720 Speaker 1: into the crowd. The crowd threw a couple of them 196 00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:38,600 Speaker 1: back to them, so they said, you know what, we're 197 00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:40,839 Speaker 1: gonna be good sports, We're gonna participate, and they just 198 00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:42,640 Speaker 1: wanted I think Thomas got down on one knee and 199 00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:44,959 Speaker 1: just fired a beer. Daniel Burger is the same and 200 00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:47,800 Speaker 1: like Rob grown Kelsey, they spiked the beer right on 201 00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:50,000 Speaker 1: the tee and the place just went absolutely crazy. We 202 00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:51,719 Speaker 1: know what kind of beer this is? Was this part 203 00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:55,200 Speaker 1: of any kind of marketing employer sponsorship opportunity? I don't 204 00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:57,520 Speaker 1: think that. I don't think the fans and and and 205 00:10:57,600 --> 00:10:59,439 Speaker 1: then the guys were that clever. I think they just 206 00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:01,920 Speaker 1: went someone's going to come in here, some marketing person 207 00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:03,320 Speaker 1: is going to come in here and be like, let's 208 00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:06,079 Speaker 1: redo this, you know, for the next big golf tournament, 209 00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:08,439 Speaker 1: and make sure that our name is plastered all over 210 00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:13,400 Speaker 1: the backdrop. You know who's drinking beers? I gotta bring 211 00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:18,320 Speaker 1: it up. I'm sorry the Detroit Lions, you know, Oh 212 00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:24,040 Speaker 1: my goodness, gracious, I'm watching this game and playing the Ravens. 213 00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:27,160 Speaker 1: Lions have the lead. This is the last player the 214 00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:31,800 Speaker 1: game for the Ravens, and Justin Tucker comes out and 215 00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:34,560 Speaker 1: he's going to kick a sixty six yard fuel goal 216 00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:38,160 Speaker 1: according to the attempt, and I'm thinking, you know, this 217 00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:42,319 Speaker 1: is like, you know, Tom Dempsey's rolling over in his 218 00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:47,240 Speaker 1: grave this He's not gonna make that. And as I'm 219 00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:52,319 Speaker 1: saying it, it goes and it hits the crossbar, and 220 00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:55,280 Speaker 1: I'm thinking, oh, it was close. It hit the crossbar. 221 00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:58,839 Speaker 1: But of course, because we're Detroit. The Detroit Lions plink, 222 00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:02,480 Speaker 1: it went over and that was the nineteen seventeen win 223 00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:08,439 Speaker 1: for the Baltimore Bravens. I I've seen the Lions lose 224 00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:11,000 Speaker 1: a lot of games, but this one was special. This 225 00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:14,719 Speaker 1: I couldn't believe. Did you put any money on this one? Bar? Oh? 226 00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:19,400 Speaker 1: Heck yeah? This part of the game, well no, I 227 00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:22,640 Speaker 1: mean I I What I put on was that that 228 00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:25,160 Speaker 1: the Lions were going to win the game out right, 229 00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:29,520 Speaker 1: and I had it. I had it going. I said, 230 00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:31,719 Speaker 1: there's no way in the world he's gonna kick this thing. 231 00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:36,960 Speaker 1: And justin Tucker and get this, Michael Barr when Tom 232 00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:40,400 Speaker 1: Dempsey kicked his then record sixty three yard field goal 233 00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:44,559 Speaker 1: with a club foot at half a foot against November nine, 234 00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:49,080 Speaker 1: against your Detroit's right, we've seen this movie before. Why 235 00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:51,800 Speaker 1: are the Detroit Lions always involved in this because the 236 00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:56,319 Speaker 1: cold wind blows on us?
