And Uh, I hope everyone's doing well. 38 00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:14,640 Speaker 1: Hopefully you had a good weekend and uh, you know 39 00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:16,959 Speaker 1: you're not not having a case of the Mondays. Enjoying life, 40 00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:20,440 Speaker 1: enjoying work, join your family and are happy and healthy. 41 00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:24,519 Speaker 1: But let's dive into something that's not necessarily happy and healthy. 42 00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:28,640 Speaker 1: And that's what happened on on Friday, a press conference 43 00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:32,560 Speaker 1: with two IVY League guys, Andrew Barry, Kevin Stefanski and 44 00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:37,160 Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson, who was, you know, finally traded from the 45 00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:40,840 Speaker 1: Houston Texans whatever a while back, but they officially announced it. 46 00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:44,600 Speaker 1: And my number one take was, I don't know. I 47 00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:47,560 Speaker 1: don't think there's necessarily rules saying that there's a date 48 00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:49,280 Speaker 1: and a time that you have to do this. I 49 00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:51,799 Speaker 1: don't know why they had a press conference because I 50 00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:54,280 Speaker 1: saw a lot of people reacting that it's a disaster. 51 00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:57,119 Speaker 1: I don't know how it wasn't going to be a disaster, 52 00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:01,679 Speaker 1: because you know, there was only one thing the fans 53 00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:05,080 Speaker 1: and you know, we're thinking that the media was gonna 54 00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:07,440 Speaker 1: ask and here's the thing, and I the media takes 55 00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:10,480 Speaker 1: a lot of ship, and I think politically it's deserved 56 00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:13,600 Speaker 1: because the media like pick sides, like the politicians give 57 00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:18,280 Speaker 1: a shit about them, where in these situations, the media 58 00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:22,360 Speaker 1: members just independently are asking questions that every human being 59 00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:25,880 Speaker 1: is thinking. There's not an agenda, there's just the elephant 60 00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:28,680 Speaker 1: in the room. No one's on a team. If anything, 61 00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:33,639 Speaker 1: they're anti the establishment, and they're just asking normal questions 62 00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:37,480 Speaker 1: about the accusers to the general manager and the head coach, 63 00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:40,760 Speaker 1: why they did this, why they guaranteed so much money, 64 00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:44,920 Speaker 1: literally what we're all thinking. And to me, it was healthy. 65 00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:47,600 Speaker 1: It was actually the most healthy press conference of Like, 66 00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:50,160 Speaker 1: you know, this is how the media used to be 67 00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:52,200 Speaker 1: the majority of my life. It all walks a life 68 00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:56,680 Speaker 1: when the media just represents being inquisitive, being curious, being 69 00:03:56,840 --> 00:03:59,400 Speaker 1: what the fuss is going on here? And that's what 70 00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:02,720 Speaker 1: was going on. But I was not shocked to see 71 00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:06,640 Speaker 1: one they were gonna be quote unquote defensive. They were 72 00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:08,720 Speaker 1: going to say. They weren't gonna be like, yeah, we 73 00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:11,480 Speaker 1: don't actually know that much. You know, we're taking a 74 00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:15,120 Speaker 1: pretty big flyer here. They were gonna say the PC line, 75 00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:17,880 Speaker 1: which we believe we're making the right decision. We made 76 00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:21,560 Speaker 1: educated guesses, we did all the research. You and I 77 00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:24,000 Speaker 1: could have wrote out what they were gonna say. Now 78 00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:27,040 Speaker 1: it's a tougher spot for Deshaun Watson. Right, I'm not 79 00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:30,520 Speaker 1: a legal analyst. I'm just a cow poly grant. Uh 80 00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:32,839 Speaker 1: if I ever got in legal trouble. Luckily, I've avoided 81 00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:34,960 Speaker 1: that my up to thirty seven years old. I would 82 00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:36,479 Speaker 1: have to get a lawyer because I got no clue 83 00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:39,080 Speaker 1: what's going on. There are certain legalities. I said this 84 00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:44,920 Speaker 1: all the time. If someone accused me of sexual assault, rape, whatever, 85 00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:50,160 Speaker 1: the most heinous crimes are that can possibly be committed, pedophilia, 86 00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:55,320 Speaker 1: you name it. There is no way under any circumstances 87 00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:57,800 Speaker 1: I think I could listen to my lawyer if I 88 00:04:57,839 --> 00:05:00,480 Speaker 1: was innocent to keep my mouth shut. I I couldn't 89 00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:03,000 Speaker 1: do it. I'm not wired like that. I can't do it. 90 00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:07,359 Speaker 1: But in defense of Shaun Watson, every single lawyer my 91 00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:11,000 Speaker 1: entire life watching these cases and everyone listening to the 92 00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:14,800 Speaker 1: same thing they tell their clients. Do not say shit, 93 00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:20,960 Speaker 1: keep your mouth shut. That is just the legal um 94 00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:25,680 Speaker 1: you know, operation, the way these situations are treated. So 95 00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:27,640 Speaker 1: he gets up there, he's not gonna be able to 96 00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:30,320 Speaker 1: say anything. Besides, I've never touched a woman, I've never 97 00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:32,680 Speaker 1: broken a law. This is the truth is gonna come out. 98 00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:35,159 Speaker 1: I don't plan on settling kind of the same things 99 00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:39,120 Speaker 1: that he essentially has been reiterating behind the scenes to 100 00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:43,080 Speaker 1: these media members, the national guys over the years, over 101 00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:45,880 Speaker 1: the last year, right, so we didn't learn anything new 102 00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:49,200 Speaker 1: to one thing we know is like, what issue I 103 00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:52,400 Speaker 1: had is DeShawn basically said he did not come to 104 00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:55,520 Speaker 1: Cleveland for the money. Bullshit. Sometimes in life we need 105 00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:57,840 Speaker 1: to call a spade a spade, Like, ultimately, this was 106 00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:00,320 Speaker 1: a massive money grab for you in your age, nothing 107 00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:02,240 Speaker 1: wrong with that. This is a private sector. You can 108 00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:03,960 Speaker 1: try to make as much money as you can, and 109 00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:07,240 Speaker 1: ultimately you did. You got a historic contract. But do 110 00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:10,200 Speaker 1: not look at everyone if you're gonna do this press 111 00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:12,600 Speaker 1: conference and we're all gonna pay attention to what's being 112 00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:15,600 Speaker 1: said and act like the money didn't matter, because I still, 113 00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:17,400 Speaker 1: for the life of me, I was talking to a 114 00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:20,120 Speaker 1: buddy in the league over this weekend and I was like, 115 00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:22,719 Speaker 1: you know what's crazy. The craziest thing about this to 116 00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:26,080 Speaker 1: me is he literally just got a pretty massive contract 117 00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:29,920 Speaker 1: for the Houston Texans, and I just wonder, like, did 118 00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:32,360 Speaker 1: he demand a trade strictly because he didn't want to 119 00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:34,400 Speaker 1: be with the Houston Texans or because he was running 120 00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:37,560 Speaker 1: away from these problems and wasn't able to see the 121 00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:39,360 Speaker 1: big picture. Like, Bro, just because you asked for a 122 00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:41,400 Speaker 1: trade doesn't mean these problems are gonna follow you even 123 00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:44,400 Speaker 1: if you were traded before this got out, and to like, 124 00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:48,080 Speaker 1: you weren't going to accept a trade on your previous contract, 125 00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:51,600 Speaker 1: which was massive, paying you thirty five million dollars a 126 00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:55,080 Speaker 1: year four years. It was all about the money. Why 127 00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:57,720 Speaker 1: why can't anyone just say that? Why are we so 128 00:06:57,800 --> 00:06:59,599 Speaker 1: offended by like, yeah, I did it for the money. 129 00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:03,119 Speaker 1: No ship, Like I always get this, like, oh, the 130 00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:07,479 Speaker 1: the capitalistic greed of the corporate greed. Yeah, corporations, they're 131 00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:09,880 Speaker 1: trying to make money. That's their goal, Like Elizabeth Warren, 132 00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:12,320 Speaker 1: that's the way the private sector works, that their goal 133 00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:15,480 Speaker 1: is to make as much profit as possible. That they're 134 00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:18,080 Speaker 1: not a they're not a school district here, they're not 135 00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:21,760 Speaker 1: the government. That literally, their job to their shareholders is 136 00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:25,960 Speaker 1: to generate money. Just like all these people. Every agent's 137 00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:28,760 Speaker 1: job is to get their clients in any industry. But 138 00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:30,960 Speaker 1: I think the industries that are most famous for having agents, 139 00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:33,800 Speaker 1: right would be like Hollywood and pro sports, is to 140 00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:36,480 Speaker 1: get their clients, especially football, which is a lot different 141 00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:39,360 Speaker 1: than basketball, where the numbers are kind of set. In football, 142 00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:43,920 Speaker 1: the difference between ten twenty million dollars guaranteed is a 143 00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:46,280 Speaker 1: really big deal, but this was a huge money grab 144 00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:50,880 Speaker 1: and ultimately they needed someone to capitulate the Panthers. Dave Tepper, 145 00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:53,200 Speaker 1: who has an unlimited amount of money, said no, we're 146 00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:55,640 Speaker 1: not paying you that much money. I heard Peter King 147 00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:58,240 Speaker 1: on his podcast say that he talked to someone that 148 00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:01,640 Speaker 1: was involved in these talks. They're like, after seeing that contract, 149 00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:03,800 Speaker 1: I'm glad we kind of were told you're not an 150 00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:06,720 Speaker 1: option because we were in a million years, we never 151 00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:09,040 Speaker 1: would have paid that. And like I've been saying over 152 00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:11,120 Speaker 1: the last week for the Browns, like I think it's 153 00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:13,760 Speaker 1: insane that they did it, but it also speaks to 154 00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:17,240 Speaker 1: the desperation to get a quarterback in your building. If 155 00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:20,480 Speaker 1: you cast you, he got you know what, seventy million, 156 00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:23,520 Speaker 1: eighty million dollars more than Aaron Rodgers. Aaron Rodgers went 157 00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:25,520 Speaker 1: back to back nbp's gut and played in a year 158 00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:28,600 Speaker 1: he's gonna get suspended and got eighty million dollars more guaranteed, 159 00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:32,400 Speaker 1: you know, de Sean. It was just an absolute shit show. 160 00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:35,839 Speaker 1: Props to the just It was refreshing to just see 161 00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:38,800 Speaker 1: the media doing their job, which I really think and listen, 162 00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:40,560 Speaker 1: I'm not trying to just hammer on the media. All 163 00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:42,120 Speaker 1: the time, but it does feel like they've lost their 164 00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:44,280 Speaker 1: way as a group a little bit. And that one 165 00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:46,560 Speaker 1: was just like, yeah, this is old school, tough questions 166 00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:49,320 Speaker 1: need to be asked. This is a bizarre situation. Let's 167 00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:51,520 Speaker 1: sit down and ask the big boy questions. And they 168 00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:55,160 Speaker 1: kept coming fast and furious, and uh, you know, they 169 00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:57,760 Speaker 1: weren't gonna have answers, and they didn't and it was 170 00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:00,800 Speaker 1: a bad look. And of course, know everyone's like, I 171 00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:02,880 Speaker 1: can't believe that the owner wasn't there. Of course, the 172 00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:07,240 Speaker 1: owner wasn't there. You know why these guys Jimmy has 173 00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:09,880 Speaker 1: them stole from the truckers. You know this guy who 174 00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:11,920 Speaker 1: do you think Jimmy has them? Thiss? Do you think 175 00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:14,160 Speaker 1: he was gonna be there taking those bow and arrows? 176 00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:17,160 Speaker 1: He later did it with his wife over zoom, like 177 00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:20,000 Speaker 1: what a cop out, Like, yeah, I mean, that's he's 178 00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:22,240 Speaker 1: coward when it comes to this type stuff. Made his 179 00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:25,040 Speaker 1: GM and the GM and then he said that we 180 00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:29,600 Speaker 1: made this acquisition because of the coach and the general manager. 181 00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:32,800 Speaker 1: No way, Jimmy, you had to sign off. You're the 182 00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:35,360 Speaker 1: guy right in the checks. Your name is on the 183 00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:38,960 Speaker 1: bottom of every single dollar that comes out of here.

I just 186 00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:49,640 Speaker 1: hate how some of these things become so disingenuous, but 187 00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:52,320 Speaker 1: that's just the world we live in. But god, I mean, 188 00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:55,160 Speaker 1: this what a wild situation. I mean, we have clarity 189 00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:58,200 Speaker 1: kind of. I mean, he's still fighting these cases and eventually, 190 00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:02,240 Speaker 1: you know, I guess he'll get suspended.

Okay, another topic that I've seen, it's 223 00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:54,120 Speaker 1: like these veteran players that haven't signed yet, just to 224 00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:58,760 Speaker 1: name a few, like the Honey Badger, Uh, Bobby Wagner, Uh, 225 00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:02,520 Speaker 1: Julio Jones. And I say it all the time. Money 226 00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:04,959 Speaker 1: is all relative. At one point time, a hundred dollars 227 00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:06,560 Speaker 1: a lot to you. At one point in time, A 228 00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:09,200 Speaker 1: thousand dollar can be a lot, a ten thousand whatever. 229 00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:12,440 Speaker 1: The money is right money. If if you keep making more, 230 00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:17,600 Speaker 1: you become less. You know, you get used to not 231 00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:20,000 Speaker 1: just a certain lifestyle, but a certain amount of cash 232 00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:22,560 Speaker 1: coming your way. And I think when you get to 233 00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:25,880 Speaker 1: these guys levels, right, if you are used to making 234 00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:29,840 Speaker 1: let's just use real world terms. Let's say you make 235 00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:33,600 Speaker 1: you know, fifty sixty grand. Then you get a new 236 00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:36,400 Speaker 1: job and it goes extremely well, and you start making 237 00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:40,079 Speaker 1: a hundred and fifty thousand dollars for five straight years, 238 00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:43,880 Speaker 1: and you live in the Midwest. You're crushing it. You're 239 00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:46,040 Speaker 1: making a lot of cash and bonuses. You're you're making 240 00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:49,000 Speaker 1: over a hundred fifty every single year. It would not 241 00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:52,560 Speaker 1: be easier to just transition back to making sixty dollars, 242 00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:55,480 Speaker 1: you would be used to making a hundred fifty dollars. 243 00:12:55,800 --> 00:13:00,760 Speaker 1: Unless you're like some elite financial planner, your lifestyle would change. 244 00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:04,680 Speaker 1: It just would. It's human nature. You would upgrade a home, 245 00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:07,760 Speaker 1: you might upgrade a car. You would just upgrade things, 246 00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:11,240 Speaker 1: and you would be used to a new lifestyle. Now, 247 00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:15,520 Speaker 1: the difference is these normal people wages, right, are a 248 00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:18,920 Speaker 1: lot different than ultimately you can easily live on two 249 00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:22,240 Speaker 1: or three million dollars, right, But if if you're getting 250 00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:24,559 Speaker 1: offered two million dollars, let's say, if you're the Honey Badger, 251 00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:27,800 Speaker 1: Julio Jones or Bobby Wagner with incentive lay steels, I'm 252 00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:30,440 Speaker 1: just picking that number. They could be getting offered way more. 253 00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:34,160 Speaker 1: They've been used to making twelve thirteen million dollars in 254 00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:37,480 Speaker 1: Julio's case, sixteen seventeen, eighteen million dollars. Bobby Wagner was 255 00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:40,680 Speaker 1: scheduled to make twenty million dollars for the first time 256 00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:43,480 Speaker 1: in their life. They've been told I guess Honey Badger 257 00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:46,640 Speaker 1: has been cut before. But Julio and Bobby Wagner up 258 00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:49,000 Speaker 1: until even last year, like Julio wanted out, they traded 259 00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:52,319 Speaker 1: him Bobby Wagner has played for one team his whole life. 260 00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:55,200 Speaker 1: I was watching this thing on YouTube about Matt Ryan, 261 00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:58,640 Speaker 1: and Matt Ryan had really interesting perspective. He's like, you know, 262 00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:01,120 Speaker 1: as a starting quarterback, and obviously I'm making a lot 263 00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:03,040 Speaker 1: of money. He didn't necessarily say that, but I was 264 00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:06,840 Speaker 1: thinking that, I've always tried to be empathetic toward the 265 00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:09,080 Speaker 1: players that get cut. Right, every year, you see all 266 00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:11,760 Speaker 1: the guys get cut at training camp every year or 267 00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:13,800 Speaker 1: just like every other year. You see guys, you know, 268 00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:17,600 Speaker 1: historic players on our squad, like Roddy White, right, Julio 269 00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:20,760 Speaker 1: Jones gets traded, Tony Gonzalas retires. Like the movement in 270 00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:23,920 Speaker 1: the league is natural. It's always gonna happen before I 271 00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:25,920 Speaker 1: got here, It's gonna happen after I get here. But 272 00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:29,160 Speaker 1: for the first time in my career, I was told, Hey, 273 00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:31,400 Speaker 1: if we get to Shaun Watson, we're going to replace you. 274 00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:34,120 Speaker 1: So before Matt Ryan the whole trade thing happened, he 275 00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:36,520 Speaker 1: was told by the Atlanta Falcons, if they get to 276 00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:39,440 Speaker 1: Shaun Watson, they were going to replace him. And He's, like, 277 00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:42,120 Speaker 1: most guys get told that. I'm lucky enough that the 278 00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:43,920 Speaker 1: first time anyone ever said that to me in my 279 00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:47,080 Speaker 1: NFL career was year fourteen. And I think when you 280 00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:49,600 Speaker 1: look at the honey Badger who's gone from team to team, 281 00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:51,560 Speaker 1: been a team captain and been awesome. Now for the 282 00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:53,160 Speaker 1: last three years on one of the best teams in 283 00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:55,720 Speaker 1: the league, he's finding, you know, his market is not 284 00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:59,680 Speaker 1: nearly what he thought. Bobby Wagner again has been used 285 00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:04,520 Speaker 1: to make huge money. Older player trending down. I bet 286 00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:08,320 Speaker 1: it's a little humbling. Julio Jones has made enormous cash 287 00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:11,720 Speaker 1: from the moment he was drafted in the top seven picks. 288 00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:15,680 Speaker 1: He has never not been a highly compensated guy. And 289 00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:17,440 Speaker 1: now party teams are looking at him like, will you 290 00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:19,520 Speaker 1: play for a million dollars and one centivize it up 291 00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:22,520 Speaker 1: to seven or eight. It's got to be a humbling feeling. 292 00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:25,920 Speaker 1: And again, money is all relative. Just put whatever that 293 00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:28,800 Speaker 1: number would be for you. You know, whatever you're making, 294 00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:31,320 Speaker 1: now quadruple that in your head. If you're making a 295 00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:33,960 Speaker 1: hunter grand, now think about making four thousand dollars and 296 00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:36,080 Speaker 1: then think about making that for five or six years, 297 00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:39,040 Speaker 1: and then imagine it's a great part about society. Right 298 00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:41,440 Speaker 1: unless a recession hits or whatever. If you start doing 299 00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:43,160 Speaker 1: a good job at a certain company and you start 300 00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:45,120 Speaker 1: making a lot of money, you can maintain making that 301 00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:47,520 Speaker 1: much money as long as that company doesn't go under 302 00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:50,520 Speaker 1: and business keeps going well for a while. With pro sports, 303 00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:53,240 Speaker 1: it's very dependent on how you're playing, and obviously age 304 00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:55,560 Speaker 1: plays a huge role in that. And I think you 305 00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:57,920 Speaker 1: see it every single year that the reason these quote 306 00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:02,640 Speaker 1: unquote names wait a little while is because they're getting 307 00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:06,200 Speaker 1: a little humble pie from a financial perspective, like teams 308 00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:08,840 Speaker 1: would want the honey Badger, teams would want Bobby Wagner 309 00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:11,880 Speaker 1: at the right price, and for a large period time, 310 00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:14,400 Speaker 1: they were used to being paid a premium and those 311 00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:17,120 Speaker 1: premiums are no longer offered anymore. And that's just kind 312 00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:20,800 Speaker 1: of the way the quokie crumbles in the business is 313 00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:23,760 Speaker 1: the NFL, because you know, thirty for a lot of 314 00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:26,520 Speaker 1: these positions, right is viewed as old when you've been 315 00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:29,680 Speaker 1: in the the league eight nine years, which in normal people 316 00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:34,200 Speaker 1: jobs like thirty you got, you know how, I'm thirty seven. 317 00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:36,320 Speaker 1: I don't even my my I think my prime will 318 00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:38,440 Speaker 1: be like in my fifties. You know, I'm not even 319 00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:41,000 Speaker 1: sniffing it. But as a pro athlete like the Honey 320 00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:44,640 Speaker 1: Badger Bobby Wagner. That arrow is pointing down. Uh. I 321 00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:47,800 Speaker 1: get asked, you know, just given that I have podcasts 322 00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:49,960 Speaker 1: and you know, I'm a I don't even consider myself 323 00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:52,440 Speaker 1: a public figure, but obviously people listen. And because of 324 00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:55,280 Speaker 1: this podcast, a lot of people listen, which is really 325 00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:58,480 Speaker 1: cool and I feel very fortunate to have column behind 326 00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:00,600 Speaker 1: me and being able to do this is I get 327 00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:02,880 Speaker 1: a lot of questions. And because I promote d M 328 00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:04,680 Speaker 1: s and my email address, like you, I get a 329 00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:08,360 Speaker 1: lot of younger people in like college asking for advice right, 330 00:17:09,119 --> 00:17:11,760 Speaker 1: and a lot of it sometimes like how to become 331 00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:13,639 Speaker 1: a scout or how do I get into podcasting or 332 00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:16,680 Speaker 1: how do I get into sports? You know, pretty basic questions. 333 00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:18,600 Speaker 1: But every once in a while I get like, hey, 334 00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:21,040 Speaker 1: I'm starting this podcast or I'm starting this how do 335 00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:23,960 Speaker 1: we land some business? And the best advice I've ever 336 00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:26,720 Speaker 1: gotten for either getting a job or trying to land 337 00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:31,240 Speaker 1: a deal is to meet people in person right and listen. 338 00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:33,560 Speaker 1: I I when I first got into podcasting and had 339 00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:36,680 Speaker 1: to get my own advertising, I dominated. And when I 340 00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:40,520 Speaker 1: say dominated, I was just relentless on direct messages. I 341 00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:42,800 Speaker 1: spent probably a couple hours a day in two thousand, 342 00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:46,360 Speaker 1: seventeen and eighteen just d M N companies and emailing 343 00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:50,360 Speaker 1: companies and emailing people the CEO of eight companies on LinkedIn, 344 00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:52,840 Speaker 1: and that is great, and you've got to do stuff 345 00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:55,640 Speaker 1: like that, But the hit rate on that is very, 346 00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:58,480 Speaker 1: very small. It was five years ago, it's even way 347 00:17:58,560 --> 00:18:01,720 Speaker 1: smaller now. It's very very difficult. It's essentially the new 348 00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:05,800 Speaker 1: age of cold calling people, right, But there is nothing 349 00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:08,800 Speaker 1: like getting in front of someone you want to get 350 00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:11,400 Speaker 1: Some of the great stories about coaches standing in front 351 00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:13,720 Speaker 1: of you know, the head coaches, like if you want 352 00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:15,720 Speaker 1: to get a job. And remember Jed Fish told the 353 00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:18,119 Speaker 1: famous story about getting hired by Steve Spurrier when he 354 00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:20,359 Speaker 1: was assistant coach or i mean just a student at 355 00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:22,560 Speaker 1: the University of Florida. Every single day he would wait 356 00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:24,199 Speaker 1: out in front of the guy's car. Every single day 357 00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:25,640 Speaker 1: he put a note in front of the guy's car. 358 00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:27,560 Speaker 1: Eventually Steve Spurrier is like, yeah, I'll give a guy 359 00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:30,000 Speaker 1: a meeting. You can just wear people out when you 360 00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:32,600 Speaker 1: show up at a certain business. I've done it here 361 00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:34,680 Speaker 1: in the Bay Area with a local car dealership before 362 00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:37,639 Speaker 1: ended up not working out. But we've essentially had a 363 00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:41,200 Speaker 1: business deal set and then something changed and ultimately didn't affect. 364 00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:42,679 Speaker 1: But the only reason I got it because I just 365 00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:45,919 Speaker 1: kept showing up. So when you want to get something, 366 00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:48,560 Speaker 1: when you want to get hired by someone, when you 367 00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:52,800 Speaker 1: want to attempt to get someone's business, show up in person. Eventually. 368 00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:54,840 Speaker 1: Now you can start with an email, you can start 369 00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:56,960 Speaker 1: with a d M, you can start with a LinkedIn message. 370 00:18:57,240 --> 00:19:00,600 Speaker 1: But if you have the capabilities to show up in person, 371 00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:02,520 Speaker 1: it is a game changer. Now the person might not 372 00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:05,000 Speaker 1: see you show up the next day. That there is 373 00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:08,240 Speaker 1: nothing like it, because things get done. I don't care 374 00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:11,560 Speaker 1: how powerful Zoom is, how powerful Google meets is, how 375 00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:15,400 Speaker 1: powerful FaceTime is. There is nothing like still to this day, 376 00:19:15,520 --> 00:19:18,240 Speaker 1: even with the craziest technology is as being face to 377 00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:21,240 Speaker 1: face with someone. It's just the most powerful medium we 378 00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:24,560 Speaker 1: have for doing business. I believe that to my core, 379 00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:25,960 Speaker 1: and I believe that's still true. It might not be 380 00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:30,000 Speaker 1: true forever different generations, technology it might change. But today, 381 00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:32,760 Speaker 1: especially people older than you in their forties, fifties, and 382 00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:36,439 Speaker 1: sixties who usually are doing the hiring, still is so 383 00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:41,040 Speaker 1: this week the owner's meetings, right, It's why the Combine 384 00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:44,240 Speaker 1: is so powerful for the NFL. All the general managers 385 00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:46,720 Speaker 1: have the other general manager's phone numbers in their phone. 386 00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:49,239 Speaker 1: They can text them, they can email them, they can 387 00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:52,840 Speaker 1: FaceTime at any moment's notice. But when you listen to 388 00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:56,840 Speaker 1: John Schneider and George Peyton talk about why the deal 389 00:19:56,920 --> 00:19:59,200 Speaker 1: got done, it's because every single day at the Combine, 390 00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:03,200 Speaker 1: they met. Every stinking day at the Combine, they met 391 00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:07,800 Speaker 1: in secret, you know, under the ground locations, hotel rooms, 392 00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:10,760 Speaker 1: shitty ass restaurants that no one would be at. They 393 00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:14,600 Speaker 1: talked every single day. I haven't seen any stories, but 394 00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:19,200 Speaker 1: I would be shocked if Tom Tolesco and Ryan Poles 395 00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:22,880 Speaker 1: the Clear Mack Trade weren't meeting at the Combine multiple 396 00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:25,800 Speaker 1: times in person, because there's nothing more powerful than that. 397 00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:28,240 Speaker 1: That's why we see so many deals right after the Combine, 398 00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:30,919 Speaker 1: because do you think all these guys have been talking 399 00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:34,360 Speaker 1: on the phone and emails for weeks, but then once 400 00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:37,040 Speaker 1: they get together, the game changes. And I think this 401 00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:40,760 Speaker 1: week for guys like Baker Mayfield, you know, Jimmy Garoppolo, 402 00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:44,800 Speaker 1: if conversations are gonna happen or at least be set 403 00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:47,639 Speaker 1: maybe for the draft, it's gonna happen this week with 404 00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:50,399 Speaker 1: the general managers and head coaches all being under the 405 00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:53,600 Speaker 1: same roof because they don't really have that much to do, 406 00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:57,320 Speaker 1: and conversations are gonna happen. They're gonna I saw Rich Samini. 407 00:20:57,760 --> 00:21:00,280 Speaker 1: He had a story about the Jets potentially trade for 408 00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:02,080 Speaker 1: or trying to trade for. I don't think any of 409 00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:04,080 Speaker 1: these guys are on the block DK metcalf A, G. Brown, 410 00:21:04,119 --> 00:21:07,719 Speaker 1: Deebo Samuel. If any of those guys end up getting traded, 411 00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:11,520 Speaker 1: I would imagine the reason the conversations will start this week. 412 00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:14,639 Speaker 1: So now, who knows, maybe we get to a lull 413 00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:17,159 Speaker 1: now and that the madness stops, because it's gonna be 414 00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:19,920 Speaker 1: hard for the madness to continue forever at the rate 415 00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:23,320 Speaker 1: in which it was going. But these people being around 416 00:21:23,359 --> 00:21:29,760 Speaker 1: each other under the same roof, that will move the needle. Okay, 417 00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:32,400 Speaker 1: there's a story out of the Charlotte Observer. Uh that's 418 00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:36,120 Speaker 1: a newspaper in the South that covers the Carolina Panthers. 419 00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:39,359 Speaker 1: I think they're beat guy that the Carolina Panthers have 420 00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:44,040 Speaker 1: three first round grades on quarterbacks. And when I saw 421 00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:46,879 Speaker 1: this headline and then I looked, I went, that's a 422 00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:52,960 Speaker 1: little weird because one, what team in their right mind 423 00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:58,160 Speaker 1: on March is telling anyone in the media what their 424 00:21:58,280 --> 00:22:00,920 Speaker 1: draft grades are right now? How does that behoove them 425 00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:05,000 Speaker 1: at all? And if that is true, that that's insane 426 00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:07,879 Speaker 1: to me, that that, to me is stupid. That doesn't 427 00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:10,520 Speaker 1: make any sense. Now. The three quarterbacks I think are 428 00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:14,680 Speaker 1: widely viewed UH as the three most talented guys. There's 429 00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:17,240 Speaker 1: a fourth two. But the three guys they had was 430 00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:20,880 Speaker 1: Malik Willis, Kenny Pickett, and mac corral the quarterback at 431 00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:24,160 Speaker 1: all miss Some people might have Desmond Ritter in that class, 432 00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:27,600 Speaker 1: but according to the Charlotte Observer, they had three quarterbacks. 433 00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:31,800 Speaker 1: So I to me, they're either lying to the newspaper 434 00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:33,280 Speaker 1: to try to get this out there, try to get 435 00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:36,119 Speaker 1: people off the scent, or this is where I do 436 00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:39,160 Speaker 1: wonder if the owner is starting to get a little weird, 437 00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:42,040 Speaker 1: starting to get a little tiresome, starting to get a 438 00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:45,760 Speaker 1: little impatient, and he's yapping, because I do think for 439 00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:48,600 Speaker 1: years we've seen, like with Cleveland and some of these 440 00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:52,040 Speaker 1: dysfunctional ownership groups, is they can help but keep their 441 00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:56,600 Speaker 1: mouth shut because their team sucks. They feel they need 442 00:22:56,640 --> 00:23:00,480 Speaker 1: to start controlling the message. If David Tepper lead this story. 443 00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:03,560 Speaker 1: The Carolina Panthers are in major trouble for years to come. Now, 444 00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:06,080 Speaker 1: David Tepper as a businessman, he's one of the greatest 445 00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:09,879 Speaker 1: stock traders in the history of the h of the 446 00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:12,119 Speaker 1: stock market. That there's not even I mean, he's on 447 00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:16,040 Speaker 1: a shortlist behind like Steve Cohen who owns the Mets, 448 00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:19,480 Speaker 1: now Warren Buffett, like Easilite. He's an all timer. But 449 00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:22,439 Speaker 1: just because you're great at one thing doesn't mean you're 450 00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:24,640 Speaker 1: gonna be a great owner. We've seen it over and over. 451 00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:27,879 Speaker 1: Jimmy haslum graded up stealing money from the Truckers boom 452 00:23:27,880 --> 00:23:30,960 Speaker 1: Os NFL team. It's been a debacle, right Shot Khan 453 00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:34,520 Speaker 1: everywhere he goes, every business, Prince Cash. The Jaguars are 454 00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:38,320 Speaker 1: a complete joke. This guy, elite guy on Wall Street. 455 00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:41,160 Speaker 1: The Panthers have been a disaster since he's owned the team. 456 00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:44,119 Speaker 1: And to me, if they're leaking this to lie to 457 00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:46,439 Speaker 1: keep people off the scent, I don't know why they would. Like, 458 00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:48,760 Speaker 1: what are you gonna pick Desmond Ritter number six? You 459 00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:50,880 Speaker 1: don't want anyone to know that that seems a little weird. 460 00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:55,200 Speaker 1: That would be an all time overdraft. This does reek 461 00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:57,760 Speaker 1: of the owner, because this would not if you're the 462 00:23:57,840 --> 00:23:59,960 Speaker 1: GM of the Panthers, you would not be telling anyone 463 00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:02,400 Speaker 1: this right now. And if you're the Panther's head coach, 464 00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:05,240 Speaker 1: unless like you know, you're gonna get fired after the draft, 465 00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:07,399 Speaker 1: But why would they fire you after the draft? It 466 00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:09,720 Speaker 1: would make no sense. So to me, it's hard to 467 00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:11,520 Speaker 1: feel either one of those two guys are the coulpord. 468 00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:14,639 Speaker 1: This has the owner written all over. If this is 469 00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:18,360 Speaker 1: a true story, and I could see the owner, this 470 00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:21,240 Speaker 1: is his bad owner syndrome. Usually owners, when they first 471 00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:23,119 Speaker 1: start and they pay a bunch of money for a 472 00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:25,720 Speaker 1: team and things are not going well, they just can't 473 00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:29,640 Speaker 1: help themselves. Because this guy on Wall Street run firms 474 00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:32,760 Speaker 1: is used to being in full complete control. He knows 475 00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:35,320 Speaker 1: more than everyone else in his industry except like five guys. 476 00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:39,479 Speaker 1: Yet in this thing, he knows nothing. He can't do anything. 477 00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:41,920 Speaker 1: He feels like he's just a complete role player. Even 478 00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:45,240 Speaker 1: though he's cashing and and uh signing all the checks 479 00:24:46,280 --> 00:24:48,560 Speaker 1: and he signs the sweet college coach. He thinks, who's 480 00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:51,480 Speaker 1: been a disaster. They have no quarterback. They right now 481 00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:54,080 Speaker 1: it feels like they have no future. They're going nowhere fast. 482 00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:58,480 Speaker 1: And if it is the owner leaking this, the Panthers 483 00:24:58,480 --> 00:25:01,680 Speaker 1: are in major trouble for the foresee future. But we'll 484 00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:03,360 Speaker 1: see if more leaks come out of Carolina. It's something 485 00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:05,040 Speaker 1: to keep an eye on. It's it's they're They're a 486 00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:08,520 Speaker 1: franchise that could get weird fast. I got them red 487 00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:14,360 Speaker 1: flagged big time.
