Speaker 1 (00:29):
Hello, Welcome in Side hour three The Jason Smith Show
with my best friend Mike Harmon.

Much chub up.

and the best of version posted. Right after we get
off the air, we are going to double overtime in Edmund.
(01:01):
Somehow a Panthers. It looked like they were they had
a they had a clear chance to win the game.
A big shot goes through the crease. All right, we
had another breakaway that Skinner makes the save on just
some big end to end hockey, and the Oilers really
(01:21):
survived that period. Uh again, I don't know how the
puck didn't go on the net at least once for
the Panthers in overtime. But this is where, hey, we
go to double ot and this is this where like
in the first minute of double overtime Drycidle or McDavid
scores and and they win the game. Well that's where
we had the bookend, right, because the beginning of the
(01:43):
overtime period you saw a couple of big chances for
the Oilers.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
Like wow, how did he how did he hit.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
It through the goal mount h and come out the
other side, just as we saw at the end. Here
ended the period with the Panthers and a couple of
big drives like it's dripped in as you're watching it live,
right if you does it have enough of a tail or?
Is it going to find just on the inner inner
part of the post, And no, it drifts wide and
(02:09):
you exhale because you live to fight into a new period.
I mean, look, this is I know again, I know
Edmonton and Floyd doesn't matter. This is the This is
exactly what you expect the Stanley Cup Final to be.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
These two teams are fantastic. You're saying a.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
Lot of offense. You're up and down the ice. You know,
Victor E. Ratt is all over the ice now.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
Sure, like.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
Yes, Stanley.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
But it's like we talk about with every every game
that you and I have been blessed to yell at
each other about here at Fox Sports trading all these years,
like I just need it close late. I need a
couple of heroic plays, maybe a big performance, right, we
get some giant stat line, a crazy play, but that
it comes down into the final minutes whatever the sport.
(02:54):
Too much to ask that every game in the Stanley
Cup Final goes to overtime, too much to ask, I'll
take over time. Seven seven overtime games absolutely rebatedly. But
it talks about you know, matchups. We were talking about
it with the college softball earlier. When talking Texas Texas
Tech familiarity, you're either gonna get a big performance or
(03:16):
continued dominance. Normally we're gonna get the blow up somewhere
along the way. But when we're talking about team on
you know unit I unit, where we had these margin
for errors start to dissipate, and so we get deep
into the regulation and into overtime where we get some
of these classic finishes. Now, I don't think by game
(03:38):
four anybody's got any legs left. I'd love to see
the recovery hockey guys. Clearly offsides, sound like that frog
is gonna make stuff up. Many he was off side,
clearly offside that guy.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
Yeah, he wasn't even wearing skates, he had track shoes on.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
And they had seven players on the ice for that goal.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
He didn't see that. You do not know how oilers playing
like man? That guy's a meta human out of the
X belong.
Speaker 4 (04:09):
Absolute backbreaker that goal that the Panthers gave up in regulation.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
Oh, any anytime you go go on the last minute
of a game it's.
Speaker 4 (04:18):
Final game, and then have to play two overtimes because
of that, Yeah, that is a back breaker.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
Well it's not quite you know fourteen, you know fourteen fourteen,
you know, a historic dissipation of a huge lead in
a fourth quarter.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
That's an elbow drop.
Speaker 3 (04:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
Uh, now you mentioned and and and well we'll get
to this, we'll get we'll get to Aaron Rodgers a
couple minutes. But you mentioned this, and it's a big
highlight tonight. Congratulations to Texas the Longhorns winning the Division
one softball championship. They beat Texas Tech and a Nijia Kennedy.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
Uh they do out of three.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
They blow out.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
Texas Tech tonight ten to four is your final. They
score five runs off of Kennedy in the first inning.
Who made big headlines today by getting a million dollars
for next year?
Speaker 2 (05:07):
Right, she was the first.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
Million dollar nil softball player and now she's the second
million dollar nil softball player. And I'll tell you I
have two there's two things about her and this series
coming from this. Number one is that look, you know me,
softball coach softball you saw fall my whole life and
certain things I see I just can't.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
You know.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
We talked about it earlier that no matter how good
a pitcher you are, when a team sees you for
seven innings three days in a row, they're gonna hit you.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
Right.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
It's just gonna happen, Right, no matter how good you are,
unless you throw like seventy six seventy seven like the
Tennessee pitcher. Yeah, they're gonna find her. They've seen all
your stuff, they've seen everything you have, or you've got
another pitch that you just haven't doled out. I'm saving
that for the for the tie breaking game of the series.
Otherwise they've seen everything, every every combination of pitches you
(05:56):
can put together, you know, And I think about this
from a coach, I think about two things when it comes.
The first one is that and because I feel for
the same time, boy, I know what Texas must feel
like to beat her and win the title like the
first time, I think. You know, look, when you play
softball for a living, you eventually get to a point
where I had to go on and do something else, right,
(06:16):
so you only have so much timer. You can still
play and play Team USA Softball in the Olympics and
all that stuff.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
You've seen that, but generally.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
It's hard to make a career out of it, right,
So this is the highest level that they'll play at,
and you like, you have to be an analyst, you
have to work in the game like that's where you
continue to.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
Move it on.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
Which is a great thing too, obviously, sure, but I
guarantee you. And this is where I think about things
like this, is that because I know of a coach,
I think about it. But I know Kennedy, she is
gonna spend the rest of her life thinking about the
intentional walk where she didn't throw the ball far enough
off the plate and gave up a two run single,
and Texas Tech goes from one nothing last inning. We're
(06:55):
gonna win the College We're gonna win Game one, and
we're gonna win the College World Series, and all of
a sudden they lose. It's not gonna be about this game,
because this game. Look, they knocked her all over the
park right Sometime you tip your cap, the the hitters
can tell you when you're done for five run, twenty
five pitches and gone. And I feel for her because
she is. She's gonna think about that all the time.
Why didn't I throw that pitch outside when the coach
(07:16):
is gonna go, Why didn't I make sure we're intentionally
Why we're throwing we're throwing the ball outside?
Speaker 2 (07:21):
Why did that? Why did we not? Why are we
not doing that?
Speaker 1 (07:23):
It's a girl for ten in the world's like you.
There's a bunch of things that compound it to her.
It's not okay, it was bad placement, but the whole
decision process to get to that point and then the
failure of execution. It's just there's so many things that
go into wow, how did we how did we let
that part get away? And now the other part of
(07:43):
it for Texas is boy, because I know something that
I bet you they all talked about on Texas going
if we if we get big hits off of her,
I want to scream in her face that I'm knocking
the ball off the wall. Because she celebrates everything. Every
strikeout she is up and so screaming and yelling, she's
slamming her face masked out. She celebrates everything and so
(08:05):
and that could get to you. And I know as
a competitor, like you know, it can get in your head,
sure because you think about it. But at the same time,
when you can when when someone does that, like I know,
if I hit a big double off of her, and
I would, I would get on second base and I
would scream at her from second base. You're gonna yell
like that when you strike me out. And here's a
strikeout in the first inning, and you're gonna do it
every inning. She's screaming coming off to the other Okay,
(08:27):
that's got me up as a competitor, and I am
gonna scream in your face when you do that.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
Like that.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
That's what they went When when that starts happening, that
gets to be contagious. And that's something that could work
against you because boy, yes it can get in the
other team's head. But at the same time, hey, if
we start hitting gab some sess that's gonna fire me up. Man.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
Well we start finding your inspirations. Right.
Speaker 3 (08:47):
We've been talking about.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
It a lot in the NBA. Love him or hate him,
Tyrese Halliburton's now a villain. We've got a villain in
the NBA, which is we've been waiting on because other
than Draymond Green and depending on you got a guy
that roughs up with your superstar now and again, uh,
there aren't anybody that you jump on board. Well there
you had it in this case. You know you're you're
looking for motivation. Uh, and that's certainly one of them.
(09:11):
If you can maybe turn the tables and get in
her head. Well she wasn't used to getting hit. Yeah,
we're like we're watching you know, the last few days
and tracking through the season. Right obviously have the million
dollar nil that's a story. I I would wave goodbye
to her going out of the game. See, I'd scream
going out like That's that as a competitor, like you
see that and you go, oh my god, I want
(09:31):
to I want to get out there, give me the bat,
give me the bat.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
I want to go hit. I want to go hit.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
As long as you don't go across that line where
your organization has to issue.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
You know what, we were out of pocket.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
We're happy we won the game and sent her home,
but we were a bit out of pocket.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
Six and eighty.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
Six consecutive pitches she'd thrown, going back to the start
of Super Regions. I mean, we're riding as far as
you could take it, and they got everything out of
her arm. But as soon as she starts getting hit,
that was it. Right, you know it's done, and you
had to pull the plug after twenty five pitches. Today,
had they won game one, would they have rested her
(10:08):
in two and then brought her back in game three? Right? Like,
would you have done that? Because that would clearly okay,
we can do this day. You can rest in game
one and come back and game and come back and
change the strategy completely.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
Absolutely now.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
But good for her, right because it raises all the
boats and everybody's looking around in these from school to
school in this and we'll get to the ruling and
everything that went down today, but it's it's changed the
math on fielding a softball team. And you started seeing
all sorts of metrics of here's how much was spent,
here's how much is projected to be spent.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
Oh and for her, she's going to get another million dollars.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
Good for the game. She is so good for the game.
It's awesome, right, it's so good for him. It's awesome,
especially if they get creative and how they screamed back
and forth at each other.
Speaker 3 (10:51):
That's true.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
If it's just a primal scream like you did the
night before your finals week, yeah, man, that's not much
because all you're doing is screaming loud and long. You know,
we need to have some phraseology. Maybe some TV shows
or movies that you want to promote, you know, that
are personal to you. I mean, we got to get
to know the players through all of their their screaming
as well. Now I mentioned Aaron Rodgers just we talked
(11:14):
about him last hour on the show. But a quick
point about him now signing with the Steelers and and
here he is gonna report to camp next week. My
big concern for him right last week talked about how
we think it's gonna go. Last hour was how it's
gonna go with Aaron Rodgers, and boy, it's gonna look
very similar to Russell Wilson. But my big concern now
is that when he went to the Jets and there
(11:36):
was all the questions about his motivation.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
And aof going to Egypt of.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
Coming here, it was, hey, man, the guy's not gonna
put his NFL career at risk by not showing up
and not being on the same page and X, Y
and Z. He's not gonna put his career at risk
because he's still an NFL quarterback number one. But then
I watched him early in the off season last year,
early in the season last year, not on the same
page with his wide receivers. Clearly he could have used
more time with them, whether it was a camp or
(12:02):
someplace else. And I said, okay, wow, you know, boy,
really we really might have been might have been a
little bit better off if he had been a little
bit more, a little more attention to detail for him.
And that's my main thing if I'm the Steelers, is
that I got to ask the question, and my main
concern for him other than what he's gonna do on
(12:22):
the field, is is he still as beholden to success
as he was earlier in his career, because to be
able to sit out as long as you can, and
I'm sitting out a couple of OTAs and I'll make
my decision really late and I'm gonna show up next week,
Like I don't know how into still being a star quarterback.
He is where when you get old, like it's more work,
(12:43):
it's more working out, it's more everything. Like I feel
like Roger's like, yeah, I'm I mean, I'm gonna rely
on my wiles and my arm and I'm gonna throw
off my back foot and I'm just gonna I'm just
gonna see what happens this year, Right, I don't want
to end it the way I did with the Jets.
I'm gonna end with a better team and an more
heritage team of this steel Maybe I strike lightning in
a bottle. But he just doesn't strike me as someone who, hey,
(13:05):
I know everything he needs to get ready for the
season he's going to do because he kind of did
it with the Jets and you saw the effects on
the field. Now he's gonna kind of do it with
the steel He's already kind of just doing it with
the Steelers, and he's not even there yet, and it's
a completely new team, new offense that's not gonna be
friendly to him. And again, my big concern is that
(13:27):
he still is he still all in on being a
great NFL quarterback or is thisce, Hey, I'm rolling the
dice one more time and I'm gonna use this year
and I'm gonna start a TV show and start everything
in Aaron Rodgers productions or whatever else he wants to do. Like,
that's my main concern. If I'm the Steelers, are we
still getting a guy that is that much about winning?
Speaker 2 (13:46):
We're still doing that? Because I don't know that you are.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
See, I think he's still that guy last year. I
think some of it was the physicality's still coming back
off the injury that keeps you slowed, and sure to
some degree, it's working with your teammate and getting on
the same page there. But if a guy can't run
hero out or a guy can't catch, there's not much
else you can do.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
And you had a bunch of let's just call it
what it.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
Is, Jags Beyond Garrett Wilson, no matter how much he
loved Alan Lazard and whatever else. And you get you
got a bunch of guys who are also ran wide
receivers there. And that's the fear I have here, is
that you have a bunch of the like because they
can do a lot of work non camera related, right,
And I mean that in terms of your reporters and
(14:33):
assembled you know, media and fans and whatever else. Right,
you're gonna have la trobe or is he putting in
the work behind you? I don't know, Like, and none
of us do you know? This guy's in front of
a mirror doing his back and forth and doing his
exercises and doing all the training he's done for years.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
But what do we know when he's on a podcast
or when he's traveling.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
Yeah, this is you can still do all the footwork
and all that while you're.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
You know, in the desert.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
This is like, this is the NFL equivalent of armageddon. Hey,
the fireball is coming to Earth. Let's send some oil
drillers up there. What Maybe it'll work.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
I don't know. Hey, what are we gonna do it?
Speaker 1 (15:10):
Off? A quarterback? Get Aaron Rodgers. Maybe it'll work. I
don't know, we'll say, maybe he's into it. I tell
you it's the old Beatles line. Look getting better all
the time, Yeah, getting much worse. I mean, it's still
really easier to teach drillers to be astronauts.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
Really was?
Speaker 1 (15:25):
You really just want them to fail because it'll make
you feel better about the Jets. Exit up out of Fresca,
Exit swollen Dome. Jason Smith Mike Harman live from the

like really you need New York needs people vote Aaron Judge.
You know, I gotta get him there, gotta get the
only way he's not going is if they asked me

I'm not picking any Yankees.
Speaker 3 (18:24):
This is my revenge for my entire life. Find me.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
I'm not taking anybody now.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
As soon as he dropped that ball in the World Series,
he became ineligible to be an All Star in my squad.
Speaker 3 (18:33):
Yeah, yeah, I can't put him in the field.
Speaker 2 (18:35):
Are you kidding? You? Saw one apperring to.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
Oh hey, uh breaking news right now. We have a
goal in overtime the Panthers on a breakaway. I can't
tell who scored it, but it looked like it went
it was it was a backhand or five hole.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
Skinner couldn't make it, skinner.
Speaker 1 (18:56):
I don't think the puck actually touched the back of
the neck.
Speaker 3 (18:59):
I think it kind of just.
Speaker 2 (19:02):
Slid over the goal line.
Speaker 1 (19:06):
Florida in overtime, My goodness, the shots in this game.
The Panthers win it five to four. Brad marchand with
a goal, Like what a rock star? I mean really,
I mean he's been like he's been doing this forever.
(19:26):
He did this is this is what he does. And
he comes in with a breakaway in overtime like I
mean and then and it just squeaked through Skinner's pads
and you know, great move and look, great move to
hold onto the puck because he was he was being
uh defended from behind. Dry Sidle came from behind to
try to take the puck and he brings it strong
to the backhand, takes it away from dry Sidle who
(19:47):
was coming at him from the side. Makes the right
decision and now march And scores, and my me again,
this guy's been doing this forever, absolutely doing it forever.
Speaker 2 (19:55):
Amazing.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
He was the one in the second period on the
shorty man came out and and gated ahead full on
blitz and you were waiting to see the contrails like
we used to have on the NHL on Fox. So
now the series tied at one game at piece. Again,
I'm going seven overtime games, that's what it would be.
Seven overtime games. Threty giant ice tubs have they set up?
Speaker 4 (20:19):
And is it just me or is it still weird
as hell seeing march Han in a in a different
jersey than.
Speaker 2 (20:25):
The Boston Oh yeah, yeah, oh yeah, it's weird as hell.
Yeah yeah.
Speaker 3 (20:28):
And Boston fans are saying the same thing.
Speaker 2 (20:29):
And I hate the guy, but I respect him.
Speaker 3 (20:32):
I hate you, yeah, fi Year, I mean he's terrific.
Speaker 2 (20:38):
Thirty seven years. I'll punch you right in the.
Speaker 1 (20:40):
Every every time the Panthers need a goal, they get one, right,
like every time the goal, they get one. That's the thing,
like the two things about these teams. I feel like
the Oilers start every game up to nothing, but every
time the Panthers need a goal, they get one. It's
like the Pacers. Every time the Pacers need a three,
they get one. Every time they get one, they get one.
Speaker 2 (20:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
Look like you know the old what is it roller
Derby where you can do that sling shot move. He's
like flying past everybody to break away towards the towards
the net.
Speaker 2 (21:12):
He's on the lebron diet.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
Yeah crazy, Oh my goodness, uh seven, Hey, sorry, I
didn't want to didn't want to walk away? Want button this? Hey,
make sure vote Aaron Judge for the all. Oh no,
that's right, vote Aaron Judge. He may he needs your head. Hey, hey,
you know, you know, you know, you know, Yeah, he's
what we need to do, Frost. But here' where we
take care of two birds one stone. Yeah, what do
you got. You know how teams normally when it gets

(21:34):
team up one from the AL one for the NL.
Hey vote for our guy, you.
Speaker 3 (21:38):
Know, and then you vote for the other guy.
Speaker 1 (21:40):
The Dodge and Yankees need to team up and say, hey,
send Otwani and Judge. Hey, make sure vote for both
of those guys.
Speaker 4 (21:46):
And if you vote, you get that hat from England
that had that good.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
There you go. There's gotta be boxes upon boxes those
somewhere that.
Speaker 3 (21:56):
Hat that no one would ever wear. That's that's how
you should do it. One hundred percent. I like, yeah,
that's good.
Speaker 1 (22:01):
So yes, please send Judge Anotani to the All Star Games.
Now you talk about a Friday night news dump, This
is a Friday night news dump out of college football
that changes so much. Now we've heard about this for
a while. There's a lot of it's a lot of
inside baseball, but I'll break it down for you. We've
heard for a long time that this ruling was going
to come down from the government that schools are going
(22:25):
to be allowed to directly pay athletes because now it's
all about nil name, image and likeness. Where all the
money that these athletes have been getting paid the last
year is all come through third parties, and now there
is going to be this resolution that is going to
allow schools to pay players directly.
Speaker 3 (22:41):
All right, we thought it was coming down. It came
down tonight.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
Judge Claudia Wilkin approving the deal between the NCAAA and
the lawyers representing all the Division I athletes.
Speaker 3 (22:49):
So okay, now what does this mean.
Speaker 1 (22:51):
This means now starting this year at July first, schools
can pay twenty and between twenty and twenty three million
dollars in NIL money to their athletes, and everybody gets
a certain piece of the pie. Football of course, gets
most of the pie because football pays for all the
other sports.
Speaker 2 (23:07):
So now all these.
Speaker 1 (23:09):
Schools now are getting are allowed to spend money to
pay their players directly. What does this mean? Okay, what
does this mean? Because there's a lot of what now?
What does this means? NL go Wait, no, no, no.
It means two things. It means now Number one, that
schools who struggled to get big NIL deals now at
(23:30):
least get twenty million dollars up to that that they'll
be able to pay out because they can pay people directly.
Speaker 2 (23:35):
Rev shared stuffy.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
So now, okay, So because look, because you look at
teams and you wonder why teams struggle now in college
football that hadn't really struggled up until now, Well, teams
figured out nil. Why the teams that have struggled now
suddenly you're playing great. Why are suddenly Syracuse and Duke
to upper level teams in the ACC Because they figured
out nil. They got rich donors, rich people that do things.
So it's been a big thing. But some schools haven't
(23:57):
been able to figure it out. So for the schools
who have figured out, and here's other twenty million dollars
that they get to pay kids directly. But the other
schools that haven't been as competitive, hey, now they get
a little bit, They get more of a chance, right
because now they have a chance to go pay players.
The other part of it is this, and this is
where the NCAA. They live on Mars sometimes. I mean,
like Doctor Manhattan, Watchman, I'm gonna live on Mars for
(24:19):
years something.
Speaker 2 (24:20):
I know what's going on.
Speaker 1 (24:21):
You've seen from the NCAAA the thought that if schools
can pay players directly, that's going to help schools regain control.
Speaker 2 (24:33):
And this succord to the AP report.
Speaker 1 (24:35):
Quote tamp down the skyrocketing, largely unregulated market for paying
college players through third parties. And now it's gonna be
harder for people to pay money through third parties. It's
gonna have to be more approved and not be as
sketchy a quote valid business. Yeah, purpose, what does that
mean again?
Speaker 2 (24:54):
Again?
Speaker 1 (24:54):
I can walk up to you and say I'll give
you a half a million dollars to sign autographs and
do it. Riller too for this group of kids. I mean,
this is this, This is out there, and it's it's
just either either there's you know, people are stupid or
they don't understand how this is gonna go like this
is this is the president of the NCAA, Charlie Baker,
thinks that, oh, this is gonna help us get out
(25:15):
of this nil era that's run out of control. And
I want to say, dude, you live on Mars, or
you're stupid, or I don't know what to say, because
this is just an added twenty million dollars going to
the pot. You really think teams are gonna say, hey,
guess what, Yeah, we can't give you that nil money.
Oh I'm gonna go this other school is gonna get
me money from the school, and I'm getting all that
NIL money from all these you know, super legal and
(25:38):
I'm doing this with the air quotes now super legal deals.
Speaker 6 (25:40):
Do you really think this is gonna go away? Like, well, yeah,
you're stupid. Really, this whole thing is still college football.
It is a complete freight train that is running out
of control.
Speaker 3 (25:51):
And if they they if.
Speaker 1 (25:52):
They honestly think this is gonna stop that, well, you know,
I I'm sorry, man, I don't know what to do
for you.
Speaker 2 (25:58):
Isaac.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
Hey, congratulations on still running a business and a sport
that is doing well despite the fact that you have
no idea what you're doing. That's the big takeaways from this.
Schools can now pay players directly. It lets the schools
that struggle with nil now have more of seat at
the table. It gives the rest of the schools an
extra twenty million dollars, and it just means that hey, okay,
here's more money that can go out there in addition
(26:20):
to the Nile money that is not going to go away. Really,
all of a sudden, USC is gonna call Earlshie Paints
and say, hey, Earl, sorry, we can't can't have your
money now, can't do it? Wait, why we're good. We
got money to give our players. I know you've been
good in the pat We don't need your nil money.
It's absolutely fine. No school is doing that, man, No
(26:42):
one is doing that, paying any car any color from
only ninety nine ninety five. All right, all of that
to say, like, there's so many parts to this that
just make me chuckle. The baker comments, it's it's great.
It's like, look, we're gonna give him twenty million dollars.
Speaker 2 (26:57):
That's enough. Right, everybody's gonna know wh No, it's not.
Speaker 1 (27:02):
It maybe kicks the can down the road a little
bit while all the lawsuits get written, because that's the
other part you try to avoid the you're not an employee. Okay, fine,
but now you're going to try to impose a salary cap,
which is essentially what you're doing here. And we're going
to have this new regulatory body to enforce and monitor
(27:23):
what's what's going on in terms of the payments and
what's a legitimate Who the hell's deciding what's a legitimate
business purpose? And isn't right If I'm a rich guy
and I think it would be great to have you
come in for an hour, tell jokes that I put
through a prompter, and have you spin a ball on
your finger, and I want to give you one hundred
thousand dollars. Is that legit or not? It entertained the
(27:45):
hell out of me, the guy with one hundred thousand dollars,
So it's legitimate to me. But some organization's going to
decide what gets stamped as approved and what gets disallowed.
You want to talk about a potential I just we'll
just call it a fraud from the outright. So you
got that. You've got the other thing that still goes
(28:05):
into collective bargaining if you're trying to enforce salary caps,
anti trust laws, all those things that we talk about
with professional sports. And I know people their eyes glaze
over whenever you get into the legal ees and the
business of it. Well, here it is, Hell's come to
frog Town in a whole other level on this. Now
you've got this other two point eight billion dollars that
they say we're going to make restitution to this decade
(28:28):
worth of players who didn't get ANIL.
Speaker 2 (28:30):
What about everybody before them?
Speaker 1 (28:32):
No, like you just arbitrarily decided date. Yeah, like if
you were in the recruiting processes here sixteen Wait wi wait,
well it's a decade. That's far enough, isn't it. You
gotta start someone wait, Ed o'ban, it's thirty years ago,
waving his hand going hey, I got that video game?
Speaker 2 (28:50):
What else we get? Valerie younon?
Speaker 1 (28:53):
It was but all of that to say, right, it's
it's all of the the extra things that flow out
of this that Yeah, great, Charlie.
Speaker 2 (29:02):
Baker can can have his statement.
Speaker 1 (29:04):
And and I'm sure all the commissioners are meeting with
their people today going all, right, where does this head?
Speaker 2 (29:10):
And how many lawsuits get filed?
Speaker 1 (29:12):
How many players are starting to look at things and
they're talking about transferring and caps on that and so on,
like there's so many different parts of this that it's
illegal nightmare. And I guess on some level for the
NCAA A going well, so long as it's in the courts,
we still have some semblance of power. I honestly, if
(29:33):
they really think this is gonna tamp that down, you're
just you just you have no business sense, you have
no idea.
Speaker 2 (29:39):
How do you not know that?
Speaker 1 (29:40):
How do you really think schools are gonna say? Oh, Hey,
we can't take the money for hey twenties enough Jason.
Speaker 3 (29:45):
They couldn't. They couldn't get enough, and no school can
get enough ni Ol money.
Speaker 1 (29:49):
Now they're gonna say, you know, we're good sorry man, Yeah,
because you're not quote that you're a little in the
gray area.
Speaker 3 (29:55):
So okay, but yeah, sorry, we don't need your money.
Speaker 1 (29:59):
I mean, come on, I mean, are we going to
restrict certain just categories of businesses out right? I feel
like in eight Men Out when all the owners go
to Kennesaw mounta Lantis Ago, we need you to be
a commission, like they need to come to me. Let
all these all the big ten in the sec in
the end, all the commissions need to come to my
office and go, we need someone with certain powers, absolute
power start absolute man's having to do favors for someone. Well,
(30:23):
we're gonna give you a salary lifetime, lifetime lifetime man, man,
not lifetime contract. Not to do favors, gentlemen, I'm do
back in court in five minutes. Much talk showery like
that would be great.
Speaker 3 (30:34):
I would be great at it. And that was that
scene exactly from eight Men Out.
Speaker 2 (30:37):
If you can do it, and boy says you talk and.
Speaker 1 (30:40):
Swatting flies as are telling them we need a commissioner
in Major League Baseball.

what call The heat and say we want to talk
To Eric. Spolster the guy is at at, worst he's
the second best coach in THE, nba right between him
And Steve. Kerr But spoltzter what he's. Done he's coached
every kind of. Team he has won. Championships he has
(38:03):
coached big time, players he has coached teams that had
a little bit less on the, roster and he's won
big games in the. Playoffs he's won big road games
in the. Playoffs he can navigate the big. Egos he
can massage when two three, guys two three stars are
playing not playing well. Together he has seen every single
situation and he has come through it and he. Thrives
(38:25):
why would he Leave miami's covered is? Empty, Tyler here

your best. Player right to go on to those days where,
Hey miami's a. Power you have to now get lucky

Something and is that gonna? Happen probably not. Now Pat,
riley who very famously resigned from The knicks by faxing
in his, resignation you know twenty five years, ago he's
(38:49):
not gonna do The knicks any favors. Either but if
you want to go down this road and start talking

(01:01):
Somehow a Panthers. It looked like they were they had
a they had a clear chance to win the game.
A big shot goes through the crease. All right, we
had another breakaway that Skinner makes the save on just
some big end to end hockey, and the Oilers really
(01:21):
survived that period. Uh again, I don't know how the
puck didn't go on the net at least once for
the Panthers in overtime. But this is where, hey, we
go to double ot and this is this where like
in the first minute of double overtime Drycidle or McDavid
scores and and they win the game. Well that's where
we had the bookend, right, because the beginning of the
(01:43):
overtime period you saw a couple of big chances for
the Oilers.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
Like wow, how did he how did he hit.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
It through the goal mount h and come out the
other side, just as we saw at the end. Here
ended the period with the Panthers and a couple of
big drives like it's dripped in as you're watching it live,
right if you does it have enough of a tail or?
Is it going to find just on the inner inner
part of the post, And no, it drifts wide and
(02:09):
you exhale because you live to fight into a new period.
I mean, look, this is I know again, I know
Edmonton and Floyd doesn't matter. This is the This is
exactly what you expect the Stanley Cup Final to be.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
These two teams are fantastic. You're saying a.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
Lot of offense. You're up and down the ice. You know,
Victor E. Ratt is all over the ice now.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
Sure, like.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
Yes, Stanley.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
But it's like we talk about with every every game
that you and I have been blessed to yell at
each other about here at Fox Sports trading all these years,
like I just need it close late. I need a
couple of heroic plays, maybe a big performance, right, we
get some giant stat line, a crazy play, but that
it comes down into the final minutes whatever the sport.
(02:54):
Too much to ask that every game in the Stanley
Cup Final goes to overtime, too much to ask, I'll
take over time. Seven seven overtime games absolutely rebatedly. But
it talks about you know, matchups. We were talking about
it with the college softball earlier. When talking Texas Texas
Tech familiarity, you're either gonna get a big performance or
(03:16):
continued dominance. Normally we're gonna get the blow up somewhere
along the way. But when we're talking about team on
you know unit I unit, where we had these margin
for errors start to dissipate, and so we get deep
into the regulation and into overtime where we get some
of these classic finishes. Now, I don't think by game
(03:38):
four anybody's got any legs left. I'd love to see
the recovery hockey guys. Clearly offsides, sound like that frog
is gonna make stuff up. Many he was off side,
clearly offside that guy.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
Yeah, he wasn't even wearing skates, he had track shoes on.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
And they had seven players on the ice for that goal.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
He didn't see that. You do not know how oilers playing
like man? That guy's a meta human out of the
X belong.
Speaker 4 (04:09):
Absolute backbreaker that goal that the Panthers gave up in regulation.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
Oh, any anytime you go go on the last minute
of a game it's.
Speaker 4 (04:18):
Final game, and then have to play two overtimes because
of that, Yeah, that is a back breaker.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
Well it's not quite you know fourteen, you know fourteen fourteen,
you know, a historic dissipation of a huge lead in
a fourth quarter.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
That's an elbow drop.
Speaker 3 (04:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
Uh, now you mentioned and and and well we'll get
to this, we'll get we'll get to Aaron Rodgers a
couple minutes. But you mentioned this, and it's a big
highlight tonight. Congratulations to Texas the Longhorns winning the Division
one softball championship. They beat Texas Tech and a Nijia Kennedy.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
Uh they do out of three.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
They blow out.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
Texas Tech tonight ten to four is your final. They
score five runs off of Kennedy in the first inning.
Who made big headlines today by getting a million dollars
for next year?
Speaker 2 (05:07):
Right, she was the first.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
Million dollar nil softball player and now she's the second
million dollar nil softball player. And I'll tell you I
have two there's two things about her and this series
coming from this. Number one is that look, you know me,
softball coach softball you saw fall my whole life and
certain things I see I just can't.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
You know.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
We talked about it earlier that no matter how good
a pitcher you are, when a team sees you for
seven innings three days in a row, they're gonna hit you.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
Right.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
It's just gonna happen, Right, no matter how good you are,
unless you throw like seventy six seventy seven like the
Tennessee pitcher. Yeah, they're gonna find her. They've seen all
your stuff, they've seen everything you have, or you've got
another pitch that you just haven't doled out. I'm saving
that for the for the tie breaking game of the series.
Otherwise they've seen everything, every every combination of pitches you
(05:56):
can put together, you know, And I think about this
from a coach, I think about two things when it comes.
The first one is that and because I feel for
the same time, boy, I know what Texas must feel
like to beat her and win the title like the
first time, I think. You know, look, when you play
softball for a living, you eventually get to a point
where I had to go on and do something else, right,
(06:16):
so you only have so much timer. You can still
play and play Team USA Softball in the Olympics and
all that stuff.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
You've seen that, but generally.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
It's hard to make a career out of it, right,
So this is the highest level that they'll play at,
and you like, you have to be an analyst, you
have to work in the game like that's where you
continue to.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
Move it on.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
Which is a great thing too, obviously, sure, but I
guarantee you. And this is where I think about things
like this, is that because I know of a coach,
I think about it. But I know Kennedy, she is
gonna spend the rest of her life thinking about the
intentional walk where she didn't throw the ball far enough
off the plate and gave up a two run single,
and Texas Tech goes from one nothing last inning. We're
(06:55):
gonna win the College We're gonna win Game one, and
we're gonna win the College World Series, and all of
a sudden they lose. It's not gonna be about this game,
because this game. Look, they knocked her all over the
park right Sometime you tip your cap, the the hitters
can tell you when you're done for five run, twenty
five pitches and gone. And I feel for her because
she is. She's gonna think about that all the time.
Why didn't I throw that pitch outside when the coach
(07:16):
is gonna go, Why didn't I make sure we're intentionally
Why we're throwing we're throwing the ball outside?
Speaker 2 (07:21):
Why did that? Why did we not? Why are we
not doing that?
Speaker 1 (07:23):
It's a girl for ten in the world's like you.
There's a bunch of things that compound it to her.
It's not okay, it was bad placement, but the whole
decision process to get to that point and then the
failure of execution. It's just there's so many things that
go into wow, how did we how did we let
that part get away? And now the other part of
(07:43):
it for Texas is boy, because I know something that
I bet you they all talked about on Texas going
if we if we get big hits off of her,
I want to scream in her face that I'm knocking
the ball off the wall. Because she celebrates everything. Every
strikeout she is up and so screaming and yelling, she's
slamming her face masked out. She celebrates everything and so
(08:05):
and that could get to you. And I know as
a competitor, like you know, it can get in your head,
sure because you think about it. But at the same time,
when you can when when someone does that, like I know,
if I hit a big double off of her, and
I would, I would get on second base and I
would scream at her from second base. You're gonna yell
like that when you strike me out. And here's a
strikeout in the first inning, and you're gonna do it
every inning. She's screaming coming off to the other Okay,
(08:27):
that's got me up as a competitor, and I am
gonna scream in your face when you do that.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
Like that.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
That's what they went When when that starts happening, that
gets to be contagious. And that's something that could work
against you because boy, yes it can get in the
other team's head. But at the same time, hey, if
we start hitting gab some sess that's gonna fire me up. Man.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
Well we start finding your inspirations. Right.
Speaker 3 (08:47):
We've been talking about.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
It a lot in the NBA. Love him or hate him,
Tyrese Halliburton's now a villain. We've got a villain in
the NBA, which is we've been waiting on because other
than Draymond Green and depending on you got a guy
that roughs up with your superstar now and again, uh,
there aren't anybody that you jump on board. Well there
you had it in this case. You know you're you're
looking for motivation. Uh, and that's certainly one of them.
(09:11):
If you can maybe turn the tables and get in
her head. Well she wasn't used to getting hit. Yeah,
we're like we're watching you know, the last few days
and tracking through the season. Right obviously have the million
dollar nil that's a story. I I would wave goodbye
to her going out of the game. See, I'd scream
going out like That's that as a competitor, like you
see that and you go, oh my god, I want
(09:31):
to I want to get out there, give me the bat,
give me the bat.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
I want to go hit. I want to go hit.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
As long as you don't go across that line where
your organization has to issue.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
You know what, we were out of pocket.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
We're happy we won the game and sent her home,
but we were a bit out of pocket.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
Six and eighty.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
Six consecutive pitches she'd thrown, going back to the start
of Super Regions. I mean, we're riding as far as
you could take it, and they got everything out of
her arm. But as soon as she starts getting hit,
that was it. Right, you know it's done, and you
had to pull the plug after twenty five pitches. Today,
had they won game one, would they have rested her
(10:08):
in two and then brought her back in game three? Right? Like,
would you have done that? Because that would clearly okay,
we can do this day. You can rest in game
one and come back and game and come back and
change the strategy completely.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
Absolutely now.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
But good for her, right because it raises all the
boats and everybody's looking around in these from school to
school in this and we'll get to the ruling and
everything that went down today, but it's it's changed the
math on fielding a softball team. And you started seeing
all sorts of metrics of here's how much was spent,
here's how much is projected to be spent.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
Oh and for her, she's going to get another million dollars.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
Good for the game. She is so good for the game.
It's awesome, right, it's so good for him. It's awesome,
especially if they get creative and how they screamed back
and forth at each other.
Speaker 3 (10:51):
That's true.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
If it's just a primal scream like you did the
night before your finals week, yeah, man, that's not much
because all you're doing is screaming loud and long. You know,
we need to have some phraseology. Maybe some TV shows
or movies that you want to promote, you know, that
are personal to you. I mean, we got to get
to know the players through all of their their screaming
as well. Now I mentioned Aaron Rodgers just we talked
(11:14):
about him last hour on the show. But a quick
point about him now signing with the Steelers and and
here he is gonna report to camp next week. My
big concern for him right last week talked about how
we think it's gonna go. Last hour was how it's
gonna go with Aaron Rodgers, and boy, it's gonna look
very similar to Russell Wilson. But my big concern now
is that when he went to the Jets and there
(11:36):
was all the questions about his motivation.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
And aof going to Egypt of.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
Coming here, it was, hey, man, the guy's not gonna
put his NFL career at risk by not showing up
and not being on the same page and X, Y
and Z. He's not gonna put his career at risk
because he's still an NFL quarterback number one. But then
I watched him early in the off season last year,
early in the season last year, not on the same
page with his wide receivers. Clearly he could have used
more time with them, whether it was a camp or
(12:02):
someplace else. And I said, okay, wow, you know, boy,
really we really might have been might have been a
little bit better off if he had been a little
bit more, a little more attention to detail for him.
And that's my main thing if I'm the Steelers, is
that I got to ask the question, and my main
concern for him other than what he's gonna do on
(12:22):
the field, is is he still as beholden to success
as he was earlier in his career, because to be
able to sit out as long as you can, and
I'm sitting out a couple of OTAs and I'll make
my decision really late and I'm gonna show up next week,
Like I don't know how into still being a star quarterback.
He is where when you get old, like it's more work,
(12:43):
it's more working out, it's more everything. Like I feel
like Roger's like, yeah, I'm I mean, I'm gonna rely
on my wiles and my arm and I'm gonna throw
off my back foot and I'm just gonna I'm just
gonna see what happens this year, Right, I don't want
to end it the way I did with the Jets.
I'm gonna end with a better team and an more
heritage team of this steel Maybe I strike lightning in
a bottle. But he just doesn't strike me as someone who, hey,
(13:05):
I know everything he needs to get ready for the
season he's going to do because he kind of did
it with the Jets and you saw the effects on
the field. Now he's gonna kind of do it with
the steel He's already kind of just doing it with
the Steelers, and he's not even there yet, and it's
a completely new team, new offense that's not gonna be
friendly to him. And again, my big concern is that
(13:27):
he still is he still all in on being a
great NFL quarterback or is thisce, Hey, I'm rolling the
dice one more time and I'm gonna use this year
and I'm gonna start a TV show and start everything
in Aaron Rodgers productions or whatever else he wants to do. Like,
that's my main concern. If I'm the Steelers, are we
still getting a guy that is that much about winning?
Speaker 2 (13:46):
We're still doing that? Because I don't know that you are.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
See, I think he's still that guy last year. I
think some of it was the physicality's still coming back
off the injury that keeps you slowed, and sure to
some degree, it's working with your teammate and getting on
the same page there. But if a guy can't run
hero out or a guy can't catch, there's not much
else you can do.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
And you had a bunch of let's just call it
what it.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
Is, Jags Beyond Garrett Wilson, no matter how much he
loved Alan Lazard and whatever else. And you get you
got a bunch of guys who are also ran wide
receivers there. And that's the fear I have here, is
that you have a bunch of the like because they
can do a lot of work non camera related, right,
And I mean that in terms of your reporters and
(14:33):
assembled you know, media and fans and whatever else. Right,
you're gonna have la trobe or is he putting in
the work behind you? I don't know, Like, and none
of us do you know? This guy's in front of
a mirror doing his back and forth and doing his
exercises and doing all the training he's done for years.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
But what do we know when he's on a podcast
or when he's traveling.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
Yeah, this is you can still do all the footwork
and all that while you're.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
You know, in the desert.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
This is like, this is the NFL equivalent of armageddon. Hey,
the fireball is coming to Earth. Let's send some oil
drillers up there. What Maybe it'll work.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
I don't know. Hey, what are we gonna do it?
Speaker 1 (15:10):
Off? A quarterback? Get Aaron Rodgers. Maybe it'll work. I
don't know, we'll say, maybe he's into it. I tell
you it's the old Beatles line. Look getting better all
the time, Yeah, getting much worse. I mean, it's still
really easier to teach drillers to be astronauts.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
Really was?
Speaker 1 (15:25):
You really just want them to fail because it'll make
you feel better about the Jets. Exit up out of Fresca,

like really you need New York needs people vote Aaron Judge.
You know, I gotta get him there, gotta get the
only way he's not going is if they asked me

I'm not picking any Yankees.
Speaker 3 (18:24):
This is my revenge for my entire life. Find me.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
I'm not taking anybody now.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
As soon as he dropped that ball in the World Series,
he became ineligible to be an All Star in my squad.
Speaker 3 (18:33):
Yeah, yeah, I can't put him in the field.
Speaker 2 (18:35):
Are you kidding? You? Saw one apperring to.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
Oh hey, uh breaking news right now. We have a
goal in overtime the Panthers on a breakaway. I can't
tell who scored it, but it looked like it went
it was it was a backhand or five hole.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
Skinner couldn't make it, skinner.
Speaker 1 (18:56):
I don't think the puck actually touched the back of
the neck.
Speaker 3 (18:59):
I think it kind of just.
Speaker 2 (19:02):
Slid over the goal line.
Speaker 1 (19:06):
Florida in overtime, My goodness, the shots in this game.
The Panthers win it five to four. Brad marchand with
a goal, Like what a rock star? I mean really,
I mean he's been like he's been doing this forever.
(19:26):
He did this is this is what he does. And
he comes in with a breakaway in overtime like I
mean and then and it just squeaked through Skinner's pads
and you know, great move and look, great move to
hold onto the puck because he was he was being
uh defended from behind. Dry Sidle came from behind to
try to take the puck and he brings it strong
to the backhand, takes it away from dry Sidle who
(19:47):
was coming at him from the side. Makes the right
decision and now march And scores, and my me again,
this guy's been doing this forever, absolutely doing it forever.
Speaker 2 (19:55):
Amazing.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
He was the one in the second period on the
shorty man came out and and gated ahead full on
blitz and you were waiting to see the contrails like
we used to have on the NHL on Fox. So
now the series tied at one game at piece. Again,
I'm going seven overtime games, that's what it would be.
Seven overtime games. Threty giant ice tubs have they set up?
Speaker 4 (20:19):
And is it just me or is it still weird
as hell seeing march Han in a in a different
jersey than.
Speaker 2 (20:25):
The Boston Oh yeah, yeah, oh yeah, it's weird as hell.
Yeah yeah.
Speaker 3 (20:28):
And Boston fans are saying the same thing.
Speaker 2 (20:29):
And I hate the guy, but I respect him.
Speaker 3 (20:32):
I hate you, yeah, fi Year, I mean he's terrific.
Speaker 2 (20:38):
Thirty seven years. I'll punch you right in the.
Speaker 1 (20:40):
Every every time the Panthers need a goal, they get one, right,
like every time the goal, they get one. That's the thing,
like the two things about these teams. I feel like
the Oilers start every game up to nothing, but every
time the Panthers need a goal, they get one. It's
like the Pacers. Every time the Pacers need a three,
they get one. Every time they get one, they get one.
Speaker 2 (20:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
Look like you know the old what is it roller
Derby where you can do that sling shot move. He's
like flying past everybody to break away towards the towards
the net.
Speaker 2 (21:12):
He's on the lebron diet.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
Yeah crazy, Oh my goodness, uh seven, Hey, sorry, I
didn't want to didn't want to walk away? Want button this? Hey,
make sure vote Aaron Judge for the all. Oh no,
that's right, vote Aaron Judge. He may he needs your head. Hey, hey,
you know, you know, you know, you know, Yeah, he's
what we need to do, Frost. But here' where we
take care of two birds one stone. Yeah, what do
you got. You know how teams normally when it gets
it would get to be that final spot. They would
(21:34):
team up one from the AL one for the NL.
Hey vote for our guy, you.
Speaker 3 (21:38):
Know, and then you vote for the other guy.
Speaker 1 (21:40):
The Dodge and Yankees need to team up and say, hey,
send Otwani and Judge. Hey, make sure vote for both
of those guys.
Speaker 4 (21:46):
And if you vote, you get that hat from England
that had that good.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
There you go. There's gotta be boxes upon boxes those
somewhere that.
Speaker 3 (21:56):
Hat that no one would ever wear. That's that's how
you should do it. One hundred percent. I like, yeah,
that's good.
Speaker 1 (22:01):
So yes, please send Judge Anotani to the All Star Games.
Now you talk about a Friday night news dump, This
is a Friday night news dump out of college football
that changes so much. Now we've heard about this for
a while. There's a lot of it's a lot of
inside baseball, but I'll break it down for you. We've
heard for a long time that this ruling was going
to come down from the government that schools are going
(22:25):
to be allowed to directly pay athletes because now it's
all about nil name, image and likeness. Where all the
money that these athletes have been getting paid the last
year is all come through third parties, and now there
is going to be this resolution that is going to
allow schools to pay players directly.
Speaker 3 (22:41):
All right, we thought it was coming down. It came
down tonight.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
Judge Claudia Wilkin approving the deal between the NCAAA and
the lawyers representing all the Division I athletes.
Speaker 3 (22:49):
So okay, now what does this mean.
Speaker 1 (22:51):
This means now starting this year at July first, schools
can pay twenty and between twenty and twenty three million
dollars in NIL money to their athletes, and everybody gets
a certain piece of the pie. Football of course, gets
most of the pie because football pays for all the
other sports.
Speaker 2 (23:07):
So now all these.
Speaker 1 (23:09):
Schools now are getting are allowed to spend money to
pay their players directly. What does this mean? Okay, what
does this mean? Because there's a lot of what now?
What does this means? NL go Wait, no, no, no.
It means two things. It means now Number one, that
schools who struggled to get big NIL deals now at
(23:30):
least get twenty million dollars up to that that they'll
be able to pay out because they can pay people directly.
Speaker 2 (23:35):
Rev shared stuffy.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
So now, okay, So because look, because you look at
teams and you wonder why teams struggle now in college
football that hadn't really struggled up until now, Well, teams
figured out nil. Why the teams that have struggled now
suddenly you're playing great. Why are suddenly Syracuse and Duke
to upper level teams in the ACC Because they figured
out nil. They got rich donors, rich people that do things.
So it's been a big thing. But some schools haven't
(23:57):
been able to figure it out. So for the schools
who have figured out, and here's other twenty million dollars
that they get to pay kids directly. But the other
schools that haven't been as competitive, hey, now they get
a little bit, They get more of a chance, right
because now they have a chance to go pay players.
The other part of it is this, and this is
where the NCAA. They live on Mars sometimes. I mean,
like Doctor Manhattan, Watchman, I'm gonna live on Mars for
(24:19):
years something.
Speaker 2 (24:20):
I know what's going on.
Speaker 1 (24:21):
You've seen from the NCAAA the thought that if schools
can pay players directly, that's going to help schools regain control.
Speaker 2 (24:33):
And this succord to the AP report.
Speaker 1 (24:35):
Quote tamp down the skyrocketing, largely unregulated market for paying
college players through third parties. And now it's gonna be
harder for people to pay money through third parties. It's
gonna have to be more approved and not be as
sketchy a quote valid business. Yeah, purpose, what does that
mean again?
Speaker 2 (24:54):
Again?
Speaker 1 (24:54):
I can walk up to you and say I'll give
you a half a million dollars to sign autographs and
do it. Riller too for this group of kids. I mean,
this is this, This is out there, and it's it's
just either either there's you know, people are stupid or
they don't understand how this is gonna go like this
is this is the president of the NCAA, Charlie Baker,
thinks that, oh, this is gonna help us get out
(25:15):
of this nil era that's run out of control. And
I want to say, dude, you live on Mars, or
you're stupid, or I don't know what to say, because
this is just an added twenty million dollars going to
the pot. You really think teams are gonna say, hey,
guess what, Yeah, we can't give you that nil money.
Oh I'm gonna go this other school is gonna get
me money from the school, and I'm getting all that
NIL money from all these you know, super legal and
(25:38):
I'm doing this with the air quotes now super legal deals.
Speaker 6 (25:40):
Do you really think this is gonna go away? Like, well, yeah,
you're stupid. Really, this whole thing is still college football.
It is a complete freight train that is running out
of control.
Speaker 3 (25:51):
And if they they if.
Speaker 1 (25:52):
They honestly think this is gonna stop that, well, you know,
I I'm sorry, man, I don't know what to do
for you.
Speaker 2 (25:58):
Isaac.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
Hey, congratulations on still running a business and a sport
that is doing well despite the fact that you have
no idea what you're doing. That's the big takeaways from this.
Schools can now pay players directly. It lets the schools
that struggle with nil now have more of seat at
the table. It gives the rest of the schools an
extra twenty million dollars, and it just means that hey, okay,
here's more money that can go out there in addition
(26:20):
to the Nile money that is not going to go away. Really,
all of a sudden, USC is gonna call Earlshie Paints
and say, hey, Earl, sorry, we can't can't have your
money now, can't do it? Wait, why we're good. We
got money to give our players. I know you've been
good in the pat We don't need your nil money.
It's absolutely fine. No school is doing that, man, No
(26:42):
one is doing that, paying any car any color from
only ninety nine ninety five. All right, all of that
to say, like, there's so many parts to this that
just make me chuckle. The baker comments, it's it's great.
It's like, look, we're gonna give him twenty million dollars.
Speaker 2 (26:57):
That's enough. Right, everybody's gonna know wh No, it's not.
Speaker 1 (27:02):
It maybe kicks the can down the road a little
bit while all the lawsuits get written, because that's the
other part you try to avoid the you're not an employee. Okay, fine,
but now you're going to try to impose a salary cap,
which is essentially what you're doing here. And we're going
to have this new regulatory body to enforce and monitor
(27:23):
what's what's going on in terms of the payments and
what's a legitimate Who the hell's deciding what's a legitimate
business purpose? And isn't right If I'm a rich guy
and I think it would be great to have you
come in for an hour, tell jokes that I put
through a prompter, and have you spin a ball on
your finger, and I want to give you one hundred
thousand dollars. Is that legit or not? It entertained the
(27:45):
hell out of me, the guy with one hundred thousand dollars,
So it's legitimate to me. But some organization's going to
decide what gets stamped as approved and what gets disallowed.
You want to talk about a potential I just we'll
just call it a fraud from the outright. So you
got that. You've got the other thing that still goes
(28:05):
into collective bargaining if you're trying to enforce salary caps,
anti trust laws, all those things that we talk about
with professional sports. And I know people their eyes glaze
over whenever you get into the legal ees and the
business of it. Well, here it is, Hell's come to
frog Town in a whole other level on this. Now
you've got this other two point eight billion dollars that
they say we're going to make restitution to this decade
(28:28):
worth of players who didn't get ANIL.
Speaker 2 (28:30):
What about everybody before them?
Speaker 1 (28:32):
No, like you just arbitrarily decided date. Yeah, like if
you were in the recruiting processes here sixteen Wait wi wait,
well it's a decade. That's far enough, isn't it. You
gotta start someone wait, Ed o'ban, it's thirty years ago,
waving his hand going hey, I got that video game?
Speaker 2 (28:50):
What else we get? Valerie younon?
Speaker 1 (28:53):
It was but all of that to say, right, it's
it's all of the the extra things that flow out
of this that Yeah, great, Charlie.
Speaker 2 (29:02):
Baker can can have his statement.
Speaker 1 (29:04):
And and I'm sure all the commissioners are meeting with
their people today going all, right, where does this head?
Speaker 2 (29:10):
And how many lawsuits get filed?
Speaker 1 (29:12):
How many players are starting to look at things and
they're talking about transferring and caps on that and so on,
like there's so many different parts of this that it's
illegal nightmare. And I guess on some level for the
NCAA A going well, so long as it's in the courts,
we still have some semblance of power. I honestly, if
(29:33):
they really think this is gonna tamp that down, you're
just you just you have no business sense, you have
no idea.
Speaker 2 (29:39):
How do you not know that?
Speaker 1 (29:40):
How do you really think schools are gonna say? Oh, Hey,
we can't take the money for hey twenties enough Jason.
Speaker 3 (29:45):
They couldn't. They couldn't get enough, and no school can
get enough ni Ol money.
Speaker 1 (29:49):
Now they're gonna say, you know, we're good sorry man, Yeah,
because you're not quote that you're a little in the
gray area.
Speaker 3 (29:55):
So okay, but yeah, sorry, we don't need your money.
Speaker 1 (29:59):
I mean, come on, I mean, are we going to
restrict certain just categories of businesses out right? I feel
like in eight Men Out when all the owners go
to Kennesaw mounta Lantis Ago, we need you to be
a commission, like they need to come to me. Let
all these all the big ten in the sec in
the end, all the commissions need to come to my
office and go, we need someone with certain powers, absolute
power start absolute man's having to do favors for someone. Well,
(30:23):
we're gonna give you a salary lifetime, lifetime lifetime man, man,
not lifetime contract. Not to do favors, gentlemen, I'm do
back in court in five minutes. Much talk showery like
that would be great.
Speaker 3 (30:34):
I would be great at it. And that was that
scene exactly from eight Men Out.
Speaker 2 (30:37):
If you can do it, and boy says you talk and.
Speaker 1 (30:40):
Swatting flies as are telling them we need a commissioner
in Major League Baseball.

not just guys that are.
Speaker 3 (37:39):
Available Mike loan is thrown out.
Speaker 2 (37:41):
There.
Speaker 1 (37:41):

wright because he's the first guy to come coach in Nova.
Knicks but if you're gonna do, that, okay you know,
what call The heat and say we want to talk
To Eric. Spolster the guy is at at, worst he's
the second best coach in THE, nba right between him
And Steve. Kerr But spoltzter what he's. Done he's coached
every kind of. Team he has won. Championships he has
(38:03):
coached big time, players he has coached teams that had
a little bit less on the, roster and he's won
big games in the. Playoffs he's won big road games
in the. Playoffs he can navigate the big. Egos he
can massage when two three, guys two three stars are
playing not playing well. Together he has seen every single
situation and he has come through it and he. Thrives
(38:25):
why would he Leave miami's covered is? Empty, Tyler here
is your best. Player him and his bucket had of
your best. Player right to go on to those days where,
Hey miami's a. Power you have to now get lucky
in free, agency convinced somebody to come there to build.
Something and is that gonna? Happen probably not. Now Pat,
riley who very famously resigned from The knicks by faxing
in his, resignation you know twenty five years, ago he's
(38:49):
not gonna do The knicks any favors. Either but if
you want to go down this road and start talking
to some teams and shaking stuff loose because it's no
bad mark against you if teams don't give you permission
to talk to their, coach, like, well we want to
obviously want to talk to the best coach in THE.

they'll build a statue to his ass five minutes after
