1 00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:03,200 Speaker 1: Hello, I'm Scott Sasman and I'm emen Nobi Williams. And 2 00:00:03,279 --> 00:00:05,920 Speaker 1: this is the Bloomberg Business of Sports podcast where we 3 00:00:05,960 --> 00:00:08,320 Speaker 1: explore the big money issues in the world of sports, 4 00:00:08,320 --> 00:00:10,639 Speaker 1: and UI is just you and me. Michael Barr is 5 00:00:10,680 --> 00:00:13,120 Speaker 1: playing hooky again this week somewhere in London. I believe 6 00:00:13,440 --> 00:00:15,240 Speaker 1: Evan and I will be taking you through our top 7 00:00:15,280 --> 00:00:19,160 Speaker 1: stories today without Mr Bar and Evan, Let's start with 8 00:00:19,239 --> 00:00:22,080 Speaker 1: this man. First of all, real proud team competed tonight 9 00:00:22,360 --> 00:00:27,440 Speaker 1: um discuss one battle for sixty minutes. That semi mumble, 10 00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:30,400 Speaker 1: of course, is New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick. He's 11 00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:32,600 Speaker 1: talking to the media after the team's lost to Kansas 12 00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:35,400 Speaker 1: City last weekend, and now he and the Pats are 13 00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:38,680 Speaker 1: facing fresh allegations of cheating. Yeah, to catch people up 14 00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:43,279 Speaker 1: who have missed it last weekend, when the Browns were 15 00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:46,120 Speaker 1: playing the Bengals in Cleveland. The Bengals are playing the 16 00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:49,519 Speaker 1: Patriots next week, the Patriots having an advanced scout at 17 00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:52,479 Speaker 1: that game scouting the Bengals. There was a three person 18 00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:56,240 Speaker 1: video crew with the advanced scout filming from the press 19 00:00:56,280 --> 00:01:00,480 Speaker 1: box and they took footage of the Bengals sideline from 20 00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:03,040 Speaker 1: the press bank, which is a big no no when 21 00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:05,640 Speaker 1: it comes to NFL rules. Uh. The Bengals found out 22 00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:07,600 Speaker 1: about it, they confiscated the tape, they gave it to 23 00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:11,040 Speaker 1: the NFL, and now we are here in another situation 24 00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:13,560 Speaker 1: with the Patriots. It feels like deja vu where there 25 00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:16,080 Speaker 1: is this did they did they not break the rules 26 00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:22,959 Speaker 1: they're acknowledging to Inadvertently something knows every minute rule that 27 00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:26,240 Speaker 1: affects the on field game plan and oftentimes uses it 28 00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:30,360 Speaker 1: to his advantage. However, they seem not to really understand 29 00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:32,560 Speaker 1: all the rest of the rules of the NFL what 30 00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:34,760 Speaker 1: you can cannot do. And let's just say that the 31 00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:39,040 Speaker 1: Patriots released a statement saying that this is part of 32 00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:44,040 Speaker 1: a content documentary do your Job, so they follow different 33 00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:46,120 Speaker 1: people doing their jobs, and this happened to be the 34 00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:49,480 Speaker 1: week of the Advanced Scout. Uh yeah, I mean, I 35 00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:52,320 Speaker 1: think the big question here what's on the tape? Right? 36 00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:54,680 Speaker 1: And I think the NFL should be able to look 37 00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:57,640 Speaker 1: at all the footage they took and determine whether, oh, 38 00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:00,200 Speaker 1: they are actually filming this advanced scout doing his job 39 00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:03,240 Speaker 1: or something a little bit more nefarious that that would 40 00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:07,560 Speaker 1: bring harsh punishment. Some industry lingal, exactly how much b 41 00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:12,000 Speaker 1: roll of the sideline would you need to put in 42 00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:14,960 Speaker 1: this dock about the scout exactly? I mean, if this 43 00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:18,800 Speaker 1: is ten fifteen minutes of the Bengals sideline of players 44 00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:21,240 Speaker 1: going in and out in hand signals problem and the 45 00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:23,120 Speaker 1: reason the Patriots, you know, I don't think are getting 46 00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:25,680 Speaker 1: the benefit of the doubt from anyone publicly except maybe 47 00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:27,640 Speaker 1: fans up in New England obviously. You know, we went 48 00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:29,240 Speaker 1: through to flake gate a couple of years ago, back 49 00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:32,320 Speaker 1: in two thousands seven spy gates, when it turned out 50 00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:35,120 Speaker 1: that the Patriots we were filming the sideline of a 51 00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:37,600 Speaker 1: of a Patriot of a Packers Jets game. They ended 52 00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:40,120 Speaker 1: up being fund five thousand dollars, which was a bit 53 00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:42,320 Speaker 1: more money back then, obviously, and they lost a first 54 00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:45,280 Speaker 1: round draft picks. So certainly there is a chance, if 55 00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:47,360 Speaker 1: this ends up being as nefarious as a lot of 56 00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:49,399 Speaker 1: people think it is, that there could be some harsh 57 00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:52,280 Speaker 1: punishment here for them to take the side of The 58 00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:54,800 Speaker 1: Patriots are decided. The Bengals are are definitely not good. 59 00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:58,600 Speaker 1: It's funny another one. I mean, part of what when 60 00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:00,560 Speaker 1: I when I read these stories, made me think of 61 00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:03,840 Speaker 1: the Astros. I think for two reasons. One, talking about 62 00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:05,440 Speaker 1: losing the benefit of the doubt, I would believe pretty 63 00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:08,440 Speaker 1: much anything about the Astros right now, just because of 64 00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:10,359 Speaker 1: of what's happened there over the past couple a couple 65 00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:13,400 Speaker 1: of months. But to it also kind of feels like 66 00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:16,720 Speaker 1: the same argument around using electronics to sign steel in baseball. 67 00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:19,000 Speaker 1: Right You're allowed to have an advanced scout at an 68 00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:22,679 Speaker 1: NFL game to watch the other team's sideline to to 69 00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:26,239 Speaker 1: to watch what they're doing in the game, but you're 70 00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:29,640 Speaker 1: not allowed to use a camera to get what the 71 00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:31,600 Speaker 1: advance scout is allowed to see with his eyes. It 72 00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:34,160 Speaker 1: seems as though there's it's this weird kind of mix 73 00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:37,600 Speaker 1: between what's allowed and what isn't. It seems to hinge 74 00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:39,560 Speaker 1: on what piece of technology is being used there. But 75 00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:41,520 Speaker 1: the fact remains the rules, the rule. You gotta know 76 00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:43,360 Speaker 1: the rule, you gotta follow the rule. And you know, 77 00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:45,120 Speaker 1: the Patriots said, we told the Browns, but we didn't 78 00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:48,200 Speaker 1: tell the Bengals. I didn't tell the NFL. Didn't tell 79 00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:51,360 Speaker 1: the NFL anyway, And you kind of maybe tease a 80 00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:53,640 Speaker 1: later topic of Garrett Cole because you said Astros. But 81 00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:57,400 Speaker 1: first we're gonna talk about something else. Yeah, we're talking 82 00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:01,440 Speaker 1: about Ali Baba co founder Joe tah Most people know 83 00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:04,080 Speaker 1: him as the owner of the Barclay Center and the 84 00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:07,000 Speaker 1: Brooklyn Nets. He just invested in the sports. He's the latest, 85 00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:10,240 Speaker 1: you know, billionaire sports owner to buy a steak in 86 00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:12,920 Speaker 1: an E sports franchise. And it's G two. You know, 87 00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:16,000 Speaker 1: the team based in Berlin. We had their co founder, 88 00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:20,760 Speaker 1: Carlos Rodriguez. He was on the podcast about the year. 89 00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:23,760 Speaker 1: Yeah he was um. But you know, ten million dollar 90 00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:26,320 Speaker 1: investment from Joe Tai values the club and around a 91 00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:29,640 Speaker 1: hundred million dollars. But what I liked about El Solotte 92 00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:32,120 Speaker 1: it was all about what traditional sports can learn from 93 00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:35,920 Speaker 1: the sports. And I wouldn't be surprised if the Brooklyn 94 00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:40,000 Speaker 1: Nets and Liberty Um start being one of the first 95 00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:43,280 Speaker 1: to really utilize what's being done in the sports in 96 00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:45,919 Speaker 1: their other franchise. Yeah. I mean I've been saying this 97 00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:49,839 Speaker 1: for a while, specifically in the content creation and social media, 98 00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:54,640 Speaker 1: E sports teams do so much better than traditional sports teams, UM, 99 00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:56,880 Speaker 1: And you're right, Carlos and and his team are are 100 00:04:56,920 --> 00:04:59,200 Speaker 1: on the high end of that even within the sports. 101 00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:01,320 Speaker 1: So yes, I would have maagine, you know, Joe's a 102 00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:03,400 Speaker 1: savvy guy. I would imagine he thought of this as 103 00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:06,039 Speaker 1: something that can help his other assets. Right. You mentioned 104 00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:08,440 Speaker 1: the liberty the Nets. He owns an n LLL team, 105 00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:11,880 Speaker 1: He's an investor in uh L, a f C out 106 00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:14,719 Speaker 1: the MLS team, is an investor in Paul Rebels Lacrosse 107 00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:16,880 Speaker 1: League as well. Uh. Certainly some things that are gonna 108 00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:19,760 Speaker 1: flow to those assets from G two, and I think 109 00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:23,400 Speaker 1: the opposite obviously also true. G two has two major 110 00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:26,760 Speaker 1: initiatives right now, one to expand in the US, opening 111 00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:29,000 Speaker 1: an office in New York. Obviously that works very well 112 00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:31,279 Speaker 1: with being a partner with the Brooklyn Nets and number 113 00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:35,760 Speaker 1: two growing their presence in China. And Joe Tie born 114 00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:37,640 Speaker 1: in Taiwan. And you know, as we talked about a 115 00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:40,680 Speaker 1: couple of months ago, uh kind of became the NBA 116 00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:42,919 Speaker 1: owner who was most willing to stand up for mainland 117 00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:46,680 Speaker 1: China during the Darry Moor situation. Um, they certainly see 118 00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:49,200 Speaker 1: a partner there that can help them grow their presence 119 00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:51,040 Speaker 1: in the world's largest country as all right, quickly, just 120 00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:52,920 Speaker 1: give me some numbers. He put up how much ten 121 00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:57,400 Speaker 1: ten million dollars evaluation around? All right? So the sports 122 00:05:57,400 --> 00:05:59,680 Speaker 1: growing a hundred million, what's the reaction. Yeah, it's funny 123 00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:02,480 Speaker 1: the the a lot of people, I think we'll look 124 00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:04,320 Speaker 1: at that hundred million dollar number and think that it's 125 00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:07,440 Speaker 1: low um And that's because, you know, because of this 126 00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:09,880 Speaker 1: massive investor land grab we're seeing in the sports right now, 127 00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:12,680 Speaker 1: that valuations are so high. It's kind of mythical. There's 128 00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:14,800 Speaker 1: not a lot of information, Nothing is disclosed about a 129 00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:16,240 Speaker 1: lot of those things, and there are teams out there 130 00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:19,000 Speaker 1: that are raising right now on three hundred and even 131 00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:23,080 Speaker 1: four hundred million dollar valuations. So G two undoubtedly one 132 00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:25,960 Speaker 1: of the most valuable E sports franchises in the world, 133 00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:27,440 Speaker 1: but might be a little bit of a heat check 134 00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:30,040 Speaker 1: in terms of the valuations that are being bandied about 135 00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:33,760 Speaker 1: right now. Another unintended underscore SEGUS at three hundred four 136 00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:38,000 Speaker 1: hundred million Yankees dolling out three hundred and twenty four 137 00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:42,880 Speaker 1: million dollars to one picture Garrett Cole. Here's Cole's agent, 138 00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:45,800 Speaker 1: Scott Boris, talking about the negotiations from the MLB Winter 139 00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:49,599 Speaker 1: Meetings just yesterday. You know, Garrett is one of the 140 00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:55,200 Speaker 1: most coveted major league free agents I've ever been involved. 141 00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:59,520 Speaker 1: Within my experience and so it's been a really well 142 00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:03,000 Speaker 1: thought processed by all the teams. And uh, and I 143 00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:06,919 Speaker 1: think it's something that's given Garrett some very valued choices 144 00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:10,640 Speaker 1: going forward. Yeah, that's an understatement if I'm an agent 145 00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:13,080 Speaker 1: like Scott Boris, but I can. I wish I was 146 00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:15,480 Speaker 1: an agent, if I can hand pick some teams I 147 00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:18,360 Speaker 1: want bidding for the one guy i'd want. Of course, 148 00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:20,640 Speaker 1: you want the Yankees in on the bidding. Of course 149 00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:22,920 Speaker 1: you want the Dodgers in on the bidding. I was 150 00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:24,760 Speaker 1: gonna throw the Cubs in there too. They were not, 151 00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:27,760 Speaker 1: but the Angels were at Alreadie Marino, Gee, I wonder 152 00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:32,120 Speaker 1: why the price was driven up to three millions. Yeah. 153 00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:34,520 Speaker 1: The one of my thoughts in the in the past week, 154 00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:36,280 Speaker 1: because we talked about this on Monday, how it just 155 00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:39,040 Speaker 1: kind of seemed like this was gonna happen, that the 156 00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:41,560 Speaker 1: Yankees were gonna get their guy. Uh. It felt almost 157 00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:44,800 Speaker 1: like ten years ago Yankees, right where free agency starts 158 00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:48,880 Speaker 1: the most. This guy this was George Steinbrenner. Not that's 159 00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:50,520 Speaker 1: exactly what it felt like, that we know the guy 160 00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:52,720 Speaker 1: we want, We're gonna offer whatever money. And you know, 161 00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:55,760 Speaker 1: three days ago we were talking about Steven Strasburg money 162 00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:59,280 Speaker 1: right to fifty. Flash forward three days. Suddenly it's it's three. 163 00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:02,600 Speaker 1: Write a massive, massive Jones. And now let's talk about 164 00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:07,120 Speaker 1: what you mentioned. Strasburg also represented by Scott Boris, and 165 00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:10,800 Speaker 1: he's also got Rendon, He's got ru This guy could 166 00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:14,720 Speaker 1: do no exaggeration, he could do a billion dollars of contract. 167 00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:17,080 Speaker 1: This is going to be way above that, right, I 168 00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:23,600 Speaker 1: mean Strasbourg to fifty. Garrett Cole three he had four million, 169 00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:25,560 Speaker 1: So he's already at He's already at eight hundred and 170 00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:29,000 Speaker 1: fifty million dollars in those three contracts alone right now. 171 00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:31,880 Speaker 1: And this is a crazy way, This is a crazy 172 00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:35,920 Speaker 1: statistic um. This is going to be the most interesting 173 00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:38,840 Speaker 1: thing you hear today. Ten years ago, the entire free 174 00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:41,360 Speaker 1: agent class signed for a total of eight hundred and 175 00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:44,320 Speaker 1: forty seven million dollars. Scott boris Is three clients have 176 00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:47,880 Speaker 1: already eclipsed that. Remember the complaints last year, nobody's signing. 177 00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:51,760 Speaker 1: It's late. This collusion there, Yeah, it's funny, it's it's 178 00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:54,400 Speaker 1: a very interested to see how these signings. You know, 179 00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:57,320 Speaker 1: as you said, last year, Bryce harper Manny Machado sat 180 00:08:57,400 --> 00:09:00,720 Speaker 1: unsigned until late February right, and everybody was like, what 181 00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:03,320 Speaker 1: is going on here? Um, the big names are are 182 00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:07,880 Speaker 1: signing much earlier, Zach Wheeler, Steven Strasburg, Uh, Garrett Cole. 183 00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:10,640 Speaker 1: Obviously they're signing earlier. Now the question is does that 184 00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:14,200 Speaker 1: kind of trickle down to other athletes? Right? You know, 185 00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:15,920 Speaker 1: we're a couple of years I think away from the 186 00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:19,320 Speaker 1: collective bargaining agreement expiring. Um, everyone has seemed to be 187 00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:21,240 Speaker 1: saying it's going to be an ugly one. But the 188 00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:24,000 Speaker 1: question maybe free agency is thawing a little bit from 189 00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:25,840 Speaker 1: where it was. You know the last couple of years. 190 00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:27,360 Speaker 1: I would spend all the money if I was a 191 00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:29,440 Speaker 1: GM in baseball. I mean the Rendons in the world. 192 00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:32,480 Speaker 1: They're great, you know, and Harper and but you cannot 193 00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:34,600 Speaker 1: have enough pitchure. How many times you can say, guys 194 00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:37,280 Speaker 1: get hurt, you can't have enough. You get a top 195 00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:42,120 Speaker 1: flight frontline ace on the market. And the Yankees have tried. 196 00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:44,960 Speaker 1: They drafted Garrett Cole, he went back to U c. 197 00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:47,920 Speaker 1: L A. They tried to trade for him with the 198 00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:50,520 Speaker 1: Pittsburgh Pirates. They wouldn't throw enough in to make it happen. 199 00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:53,080 Speaker 1: So we got another shot. The Yankees got another shot 200 00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:57,720 Speaker 1: and if money is no object, if your entire business 201 00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:02,640 Speaker 1: is based on this is the premier brand in sports, 202 00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:05,800 Speaker 1: and you must win, and your ratings points on, yes, 203 00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:08,720 Speaker 1: go up, and you're gonna start this streaming service. You 204 00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:11,800 Speaker 1: can sign more people up. You better get some winning teams, 205 00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:15,160 Speaker 1: you better win the World Series. Then it makes total 206 00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:18,440 Speaker 1: sense to break whatever record necessary to bring that top 207 00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:21,640 Speaker 1: guy to your point. Last year, the Yankees they hit 208 00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:24,559 Speaker 1: five home runs, which if the Twins hadn't hit thrended 209 00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:26,600 Speaker 1: in six would be a major league record. They scored 210 00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:28,800 Speaker 1: more runs than anybody else in the league, and they 211 00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:31,120 Speaker 1: couldn't pitch very well, and they didn't do that. If 212 00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:35,280 Speaker 1: they had Garrett Cole last season, we'll probably win the 213 00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:38,400 Speaker 1: World Series. I think that's fairs. Yeah, because obviously you're 214 00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:41,800 Speaker 1: taking from they had a historically great offense and it 215 00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:43,640 Speaker 1: did not get them very far. You saw with with 216 00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:46,360 Speaker 1: the Houston model, you had the two front line starters 217 00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:48,640 Speaker 1: with er Lander and Cold. Then you saw it go 218 00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:52,000 Speaker 1: to work with Strasburg and with the Nationals. Is why 219 00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:54,760 Speaker 1: the Nationals open the checkbook to keep to keep Strasberg. 220 00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:57,440 Speaker 1: I think they understood the magic mix that they had 221 00:10:57,679 --> 00:11:00,200 Speaker 1: to get that World Series title. That's what we have 222 00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:03,520 Speaker 1: right here. Sorry about Yes, this is the Bloomberg Business 223 00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:05,800 Speaker 1: of Sports podcast.
