Yes, very upset about Kirk Cousins making three hundred million
dollars in the NFL. Bro No, he's no day over
three thirty mil. Okay, and any other quarterbacks you've looked
up in the last fifteen minutes, you know, in learning
about sports and you realize they got paid too much money.
Cut the music. You're the one pressing the buttons on it.
(01:06):

Oh yeah, Okay, I see what you're saying. Okay, I
cut myself cut the music, and I cut the music. Yeah,
why did you tell me about Trevor Lawrence? Because yeah,
because if you were upset about Kirk Cousins, boy, you'd

as Kirk Cousins. I can't do against my own fellow
long hair brother. I can't do.
Speaker 3 (01:29):

I mean that's like an allegiance thing. Is it really?
How many guys have long hair these days? A lot?

to me, where you only would see like Fabio.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
It's like everybody.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
Well, I can't believe it's.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
My butterer that one.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
Moment. Who's Fabio? Shortstop for Seattle. I'm just saying, if
you go by one name, you're pretty famous. One guy
who's the one guy with long hair? Fabio? Right right? Okay?
Not rock and not like Axel Rose or any any
lead singers. No, no, no, Fobby Okay, all right, very good, okay,
saying today twenty twenty five lots of people have long hair.
Another quarterback with long.
Speaker 4 (02:09):
Hair, Patrick Mahomesmes. But it's it's oh, it's if we
straighten that hair, it's long.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
It's yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm saying long flowing hair like
Aaron Rodgers has long hair.
Speaker 4 (02:19):
Who Aaron Rodgers Rogers Still he's still.
Speaker 3 (02:23):
Playing, but he's still Pittsburgh is very good.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
It's very good. You got it. Remember he's Pittsburgh. Very good.
I'm excited for him, and you're like, you know what
you are? This is like how I feel like the
very beginning.
Speaker 3 (02:34):
You hear that.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
I'm excited. Meal, Okay, good. It's gonna be the new
killer Bees. Neither an Tonio Brown, Yeah, Le'Veon Bell right,
Ben Roethlisberger, Okay, killer Bees. Yeah, but none of these
guys are bees. But it's the new killer Bees. It
would be the killer Killer tees kill. Okay, well it's
a R and D K M A deck. It's not bees.
(02:58):
It would be the They're the new one, right but
they but no, they're not. They're not bees though, so
they can't wanted to be Backstreet. Yeah, okay, we would
say like, oh, they're like Backstreet. Backstreet they had a
different name.
Speaker 3 (03:11):
Right, but there band.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
Yeah, I haven't thought this through enough to give nickname. No,
I get it, I get it. I think do you
think this is how like when people first started working
on AI, this is what you're learning? Was like, Yeah,
how'd you do today? We we we started out a
little bit, a little, we got we got to a
good place, and then things got a little weird. So
we're gonna get back. We'll call them the d Calf
(03:35):
the d Calf, Okay, all right, all right, because Aaron
Rodgers Achilles was close to the calf. Okay, and this
one's Metcalf, Metcalf. Okay, Calf. We're gonna comment down. Okay,
that's better than the Killer the new Killer Bees. I
guess I was just trying to show off on a
new sports. Neither do the even have a B in
anywhere near name? Neither of them. What's Aaron Rodgers middle name? No?
Speaker 3 (03:56):
Benjamin? Is it?
Speaker 2 (03:57):
No?
Speaker 1 (03:57):
It's so excited? Wow, that was pretty good? Like wow,
how did Manzi know that? That was dope?
Speaker 3 (04:03):
Thank you?
Speaker 5 (04:04):
No?
Speaker 3 (04:04):
I actually I don't know. Let's find out what it is.
Aaron Bally Rogers, right, Aaron Bentley?
Speaker 1 (04:10):
Is it Aaron Charles Aaron, Charles Rogers. He sucks ezy R.
That's why you pop in Achilles. So again, still no
no B and no B and Charles, what about DK? Okay,
hang on, hang on, let me see DK Metcalf. Does
he have a bee? Uh no? De Kaylin Zacarius Metcalf
and literally no letters. There's no bees. No all of
(04:34):
those letters. There's a K and a Z and a U,
but there's no be. I'll think something better, not even close,
not not even something better. All right, all right, but
I'm glad to say that the High Speed Quarterback Ever
is on in the Pittsburgh now, so that's cool. All right,
that's okay. Like I say, you're like you're learning, You're
like Skynett becoming self awareness. Yeah, like in the Terminator movie,
I Cannot harm humans. Yeah, well they changed that petty quick.
(04:56):
Yeah yeah yet Yeah, don't worry.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
Don't love Skynett.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
So, speaking of Skynet becoming operational, we now have a
new player with the title of highest paid player in
NBA history, Shake Gildess. Alexander held this record for the
better part of five days, with his Big super Max extension,
carrying an average of seventy one point two five million
(05:21):
dollars a year. Right that's the richest ever contract. Seventy
one point two five million dollars a year. Okay, and
rightfully so the guy won the MVPE won, He won
won the Larry O'Brian Trophy. So okay, Shake Gildess Alexander
got it. That is no longer the case because now
that title goes to Sun Superstar Devin Booker. As you
(05:43):
mentioned a few minutes ago, he agreed to a two year,
one hundred and forty five million dollars maximum contract extension,
meaning that he has surpassed Shake Gildess Alexander for most
money per year. Now he is up over seventy two
million dollars a year. Devin Booker, not Jalen Brunson, not
(06:06):
Luka Doncic. It's Devin Booker and his twenty five points
a game in Phoenix now making more money per year
than anybody in the history of the NBA.
Speaker 4 (06:17):
Wow, that's a lot of money, Devin Booker, a lot.
You're not even gonna have enough time in your life
to spend it all, but that is a lot of money.
What else was he gonna do? He had really no
other option.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
He wanted to stay, he wanted he wanted to keep it.
Speaker 3 (06:37):
Yeah, and so he's like, great, you want to pay
me now.
Speaker 4 (06:40):
I mean, we're gonna suck for maybe a year or
two or three or four, ten or possibly ten, especially
since they don't have control of their draft picks for
the next seven years.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
Twenty fifty after Bobby, after the last Bobby been here,
when sho hao Ton he gets done getting paid by
the Dodgers, they have actually have their first first exactly.
Speaker 4 (07:00):
And that's when they may start to turn things around. So, yeah,
he gets what he wants. He obviously knows the situation
in Phoenix is not great, but he doesn't have to
move to a cold state.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
He doesn't have to go anywhere.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
He can just here.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
Are there taxes in Arizona.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
There's no outdoor games anywhere. I don't know that they
don't do like the New Year's Day outdoor NHLA. There's
all the games are indoors.
Speaker 4 (07:28):
They're all in he'son air conditioning, like he's chilling. And
I feel like the Suns were also in this situation
where it's like, listen, we went for all of it already,
getting Kevin Durant getting Bradley Beal and for some reason
a green to a no trade clause.
Speaker 3 (07:42):
I don't know about that.
Speaker 4 (07:43):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
They had also kind of had no other options here.
Speaker 4 (07:46):
They're like, all right, well, you're a guy, let's be
miserable together.
Speaker 3 (07:51):
Dollars. All of a sudden, you're not so miserable.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
Yeah, let's watch the end with me, like Wolf getting
Van Halenson. So here's the thing before we get to
the the bigger picture on this one. I like this
move because there's worse guys to build around. You don't
win in the NBA without stars, sure, and Devin Booker
has been there, he wants to be there. I like
that they've been aggressive. I mean, even though Metish be
is a guy that wakes up Jesus computer and says, oh,
(08:15):
let's go get that guy like he's that you know,
like like you do. And again, I feel like so
many people run their teams like it's a fantasy team.
And but I like the aggressions right went after Kevin
Durant didn't work. Okay, didn't think it was gonna work,
hasn't worked in six years, but okay, but at least
they were aggressive going out and get Bradley Beale. Okay,
at least it was aggressive. So I like that, and
(08:35):
you again, you don't win without stars. And now it's
about being able to retool the right players around him
and you have him for the rest of his prime
from the year twenty eight to thirty two, thirty three
years old. So I love that. But the bigger thing
is this, And I can't believe we talked about this
last night because the big topic in the NBA last
night was Nicola Yoki said, Hey, I don't want to
sign a contract extension this offseason. I want to wait
(08:56):
till next year. Now, in theory, could it be, Hey,
if Denver's thinks I could bolt, I might want to
go because he's a different kind of dude, Like I
can see him saying that. But he's eligible for a
much bigger extension next offseason, in which he would get
the last year or two of his contract up near
and over potentially over eighty million dollars a year. Okay,
(09:17):
because right now, the last year of his contract is
sixty two and a half million dollars. Right when he
signed that two couple of years ago, I said, that's
the biggest that's the biggest contract boost. You can get
because by twenty thirty, we're gonna have a player in
the NBA or the NFL, maybe both making one hundred
million dollars a year. We're getting to that point now. Obviously,
(09:38):
now here's two years later. You've seen the way the
basketball salaries have grown NFL salaries, which you know, we'll
get to why they haven't grown in a few minutes,
because that was a big deal today. But the NFL
salaries for quarterbacks need to be going up a little
bit more incrementally, whereas these salaries are just kind of jumping.
So in two years, sixty two and a half million
for Jokich, now here we are at seventy two and
(09:58):
a half million. It's twenty two, twenty five, So we
signs that deal. Next year, he's gonna be up near
eighty and maybe a little bit over eighty million a year.
So now I just have four more years to go.
And then by the time we get to twenty thirty,
someone's gonna be making one hundred million dollars a year,
and again it's probably gonna be Wemby. I would say
it's probably that's the guy. Right the talent level he has,
it's like getting Yannis again in four years or four
(10:21):
years or so, when Wemby is in his you know,
his mid twenties and he's becoming the biggest star in
the game, and he's the most skilled player any of
us have ever seen. He's gonna be the guy. By
twenty thirty, someone's gonna be making one hundred million dollars
years in the NBA again, probably Wemby. And that's gonna
be the best Bowl prediction I ever made in my life.
So it's gonna be a seven year bold prediction, and
it's gonna come true by the time we get to
(10:43):
twenty thirty.
Speaker 4 (10:43):
At this point, it's not even bold because you are
so right. That is the trajectory we are going on.
And I think the bigger bold prediction to add to this,
It's not just gonna be one player. It's not just
gonna be Victor one Bia. Oh, It's gonna be a
couple of players at that point.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
Jalen Brunson. Yeah, I mean, who's.
Speaker 3 (11:01):
It, Jalen Brunson might be making eighty million at that point,
you know what I mean?
Speaker 4 (11:04):
A couple of movies absolutely, Luca Cooper Flag could be one,
you know that is on that trajectory. We can think
of like the good young players right now that could
be carrying teams that don't want to let them go.
Paolo Bancaro, who just signed his max rookie extension with
the Orlando Magic. The Magic are making moves. They're also
trying to get out there and the East is a
lot more open. Let's see the Magic stay successful. They're
(11:27):
not gonna let him go in a couple of years
that he might reach a number like that. Kate Cunningham
could reach a number like that with Detroit if they
decide that they want to keep trying to build around
him because he's their center piece. There's a few young
players that could crazily reach one hundred million.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
Luca is the one of I mean, look, Kate Cunningham
would have to leave Detroit because they I don't think
they have the out of the day. I don't think
the entire city could put money together they would for him,
Luca depending on what kind of deal he signs now, right,
because he's going to want a new, newish kind of
deal with the Lakers now now. But if he has
a big year next year, you get in maybe a
year or two years from now, he's gonna be the
(12:05):
next guy to push that near ninety million a year,
right because he because you're gonna have Yokic pushing it
to about a little bit over eighty next year. But
then being in Los Angeles being the big star, Luca's
gonna be twenty six, twenty seven years old, all of
a sudden, he's the guy. Hey, guess what, Luca is
now making ninety million a year, right, that's gonna be
the last couple of years of his contractor ninety million.
(12:25):
So we're gon I mean, really, we're going to get
to you. Right. It may be more than one, but
I would say Jokic is gonna do it next offseason.
Probably Luca has the next the next big push after
that with his with his youth and his talent level
being able to get that kind of money. And then
you're looking at, okay, who are the guys that are
kind of rookies now the last couple of years, and
that's Wemby and maybe it's Cooper Flag, but that's gonna
(12:48):
be that's where you're looking to plant near flag and
go okay, and clearly, look, Cooper Flagg's got to play
first to see obviously, but We've seen Wemby, We've seen
how great a player he is and what he can
do across the board. And yeah, it's a lot of
money for san Antoni. But as you say, yeah, you know,
everybody finds money somewhere, they find nickels in the couch cushions,
you know, when they need to. But I would say
(13:08):
I have to put money on it. I would say
Wemby would be that guy to put that one hundred
next one hundred million dollar contract.
Speaker 3 (13:14):
You're not wrong. I think you're right.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
He's gonna win the Olympics in twenty eight for France here, right,
that's gonna be another big thing, right because because that
thing glad we won, laught Olympics says now we got
to play France. Forget it, man, France is gonna destroy us.
Webby is gonna every game, is gonna have a quadruple
double against us. Right, So we am glad we won.
So Wemby's gonna have that, He's gonna have the Olympics.
He gonna watch one hundred million for Wemby.
Speaker 4 (13:35):
Oh, so he's gonna be the king of the castle,
the king of the world. That the point, at that point, he's.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
Gonna come to la and win the Olympics and win.
Speaker 3 (13:41):
The Olympics and then they're gonna throw one hundred million
dollars at him.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (13:45):
I mean, it's it's crazy to think, but this is
where we are.
Speaker 4 (13:47):
And like I, the the Sons and Devin.
Speaker 3 (13:50):
Booker had no other choice but to do this. They
had no other choice. Yeah, this is the situation that they.
Speaker 4 (13:56):
Are in right now, and they kind of just like,
all right, let's shake it out. We're gonna we're gonna
do this together.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
I like, because if you're starting over, how how are
you gonna go get somebody else? And you're gonna find
a mix with and and the era of getting three
stars and putting together that's gone now for like, okay,
we ever one star. Now who's our next two? Right?
We thought we had KD and now who's our next
guy to pair? And it's continued to be trial and
error till you figure it out. But again, the Suns
are aggressive and they like to do it, so okay,
(14:22):
I'd rather have that than my than my team going yeah,
we're gonna wait to sign you because maybe it'll go down,
and you know it's not going down, right, It's like
I'm gonna wait to get gas for a couple of
days in case the gas prices come down. No, gas,
friends aren't coming down. Go get ghasled. If your car
needs gas, go get it.
Speaker 4 (14:36):
And you also don't want to be Nico Harrison and
lego of the guy that is.
Speaker 3 (14:42):
Your whole team.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
Oh wait, wait, wait till it could be Cooper Flag
and and and the Mavericks trade him because they don't
want to give them a hundred million dollars a year. Yeah,
we don't want to give a hundred million dollars a
year too much hooka and beer and yeah, no, no, no,
we're not gonna sign them.
Speaker 4 (14:55):
Nico Harrison has already ruined it, so if he does it,
I game people would be like, of course it's Nico Harrison.
If the son's leg go of Devin Booker that you know,
that fan base is like, what what the hell?
Speaker 3 (15:04):
Guys, this is our dude, this has been our dude,
same thing.
Speaker 4 (15:08):
So I'm with you.
Speaker 3 (15:09):
They're aggressive. I like it.
Speaker 4 (15:11):
They tried it didn't work, and they're staying aggressive. It's
what you want if you're a fan of the Suns.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
I want that. I also now I also want to
see Nico Harrison trade Cooper Fleas. That would be great.
Speaker 3 (15:19):
It was so good.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
They let him trade, They let him trade Cooper.
Speaker 3 (15:24):
It would be so good.
Speaker 4 (15:26):
I would love it so much, just for to say
those of the toxic he would have to move to
like Europe.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
He would have to move yeah, yeah, yeah, and and
live with an assumed name and going some kind of protection.
Speaker 3 (15:40):
Yeah. Absolutely, exit.

boyfriend's gonna go Okay, You're not doing a show anymore now.
Speaker 3 (18:33):
So I've got to stay in the moment.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
Okay, Okay, Because because I know people who are always
in radio mode, like people that do red like the
people I've met in my life where a conversation with
them seems like a segment from a show. M hm.
You know, like I would say, oh, you know, hit
me up on LinkedIn. The other days, I haven't heard
from this guy in like in like fifteen years. Hit
(18:56):
me up on LinkedIn. It was amazing. And then the
person said, well, it's then you gotta be on link
if you if you're now LinkedIn. LinkedIn is where everybody's
got to be right. If you want, you want, if
it's it's a whole thing for and it's like, okay,
now you're doing a radio second, turn out being on LinkedIn?
Speaker 2 (19:10):
Right?
Speaker 1 (19:10):
How important LinkedIn is. It's like having an agent in sports.
It's that important you have if you If you can't network,
you're not gonna be able to do anything like Okay, okay,
I don't want to do a show with you. I'm
just saying, hey, so and so that we know hitting
me up on LinkedIn. I haven't talked to him in
fifteen years.
Speaker 3 (19:25):
It's just telling you. I'm just sharing this. That's how.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
That's how conversations with some radio hosts gobb okay, yeah,
do you're gonna radio host me here. Okay, all right,
that's that's good. All right, I'm gonna go stand over here.
You stand over this.
Speaker 3 (19:36):
I'm definitely not always on like that.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
I'm standing over here. No, I know. I can see
you when the radio mode you get off the I
could see you getting very upset about things in sports
and then and start and I could see you cursing.
I'm in both English and Spanish. Yeah, I can see that.
I could say, okay, and then someone saying, you're not
at work, monsy, Now you're not at work. No, maha, monsy,
(19:58):
no maha, monsy. I can see that. I can see
stop saying all those bad words. Well, there's a lot
of bad words that I'm sure have been said in
the last few hours after this NFL story that we're
going to bring that. And again, it's so weird because
it's a huge story, but generally fans are not going
(20:19):
to care. But let me explain how so Pablo Tory,
who apparently finds out everything because you know his podcast
as Pablo Tory finds out, decided to go away from
I really want to find out how this Bill Belichick
Jordan Hudson relationship started. Now he is into unearthing secret
agreements between the NFL and the NFL Players Association. This
(20:41):
big story today. Look, don Van Aada's name is on
it on ESPNC. You know it's a big deal. Pablo
Tory first unearthed this a couple of weeks ago on
his podcast. But now there is a report that NFL
and senior leaders of the NFL Players Association struck a
confidentiality agreement that hid the deeps of a big decision
(21:01):
from players. Now what's that decision? The decision was to
limit the guaranteed player money that players were going to
get in contracts. Okay, so wait, what does that mean.
That's a lot of talk. Yes, what it means is
this after Deshaun Watson signed his big guaranteed contract with
the Cleveland Browns, there are a lot of upset owners
(21:22):
and fans. Why is this guy getting a guaranteed contract?
All these is coming off a horrible headline that I
still can't it over and can't believe he's in the league.
And not only does he get a big contract, he
gets more guaranteed money than anybody ever. Two hundred and
thirty million dollars guaranteed teams were upset, players were upset fans,
everybody's upset about this. After this, apparently the NFL and
the NFL Player Association came to an agreement that they
(21:46):
would limit the guaranteed money going to new players for
getting new contracts. And in the last few years, since
DeShawn Watson has signed his contract, Joe Burrow has signed
a new contract, Josh Allen's got a new contract. We've
seen other big time quarter get paid. Dak Prescott signed
a new contract all in free agency. And now apparently
there was this agreement between owners and the players Association
(22:08):
that they would help to limit the money that these
players can earn. Now, this is a huge deal for
a couple of reasons. The big deal is because if
I'm a player, like the Players Association is supposed to
have your back and not be colluding with the NFL
to keep you from getting paid money like this is.
Like when this story came out, we talked with this
in the first hour of the show. You have to
(22:30):
replace everybody. You got to get rid of everybody on here, right,
You got to you have to have entirely new leadership
because now you have no idea what else they've done.
But they've been looking out for you in the last years,
have they not? You talked about how Hey, the biggest
thing for you is that what else have you been
keeping a secret from us? You've you've kept players from
setting a level of money because you didn't want to
(22:52):
give guarantees so much guaranteed money to Burrow and Lamar
Jackson who also had a big contract. Right, you want
to give money to all of these people. So what
else are you Are you not telling me? You need
new leadership? And I'll go even further if i'm the players,
I see you know what I want now. I want
a new collective bargaining agreement. I want a new CBA,
and you can't fight me on this. We're gonna have
(23:13):
new leadership in here that are gonna go and we
want a new CBA, want a bigger piece of the
pie because you have been cheating us over the course
of the past few years. This is a huge story.
That's the part of the story that's a big deal
for me is that you have the This is like
a union, not going to back for a peron. You
pay dues to be in a union. Right, You're gonna
protect me when something happens and you find out, oh hey, yeah, no,
(23:35):
not pret I've been in it with the owners all along. Yeah,
oh sorry about that, but you know he probably would
have done the same thing they asked us to do.
This is kind of a my scratch they're back. They
scratch ours like we we don't go after all kinds
of crazy money in a contract, and then they give
us something back up. But this is where you're supposed
to fight for the players, and I can't imagine what
what the the messaging going back and forth between NFL
(23:58):
players and the players leaders on the player Association, who
are like, Okay, we need new people and t everything
else needs to happen. We have been who knows what
we have been cheated out of in the last few years.
Speaker 3 (24:08):
The messaging is not good, Jason.
Speaker 4 (24:10):
Whatever is being messaged, it's probably like F you, F you,
f you, How.
Speaker 3 (24:15):
Did you guys do this?
Speaker 4 (24:17):
The big thing is what else have you guys colluded to?
What else have you agreed to but didn't tell us
that benefited the owners when you're supposed to be fighting
for us, like you just said. So the players have
every right and every leverage to say I want to
start everything over. How do I know what's been presented
(24:38):
to me for the last ten years is real, Like
they have every right to do that.
Speaker 3 (24:42):
Are they gonna get a new CBA? Probably not.
Speaker 1 (24:45):
Oh no, you go for it, but you got to
go for it.
Speaker 3 (24:49):
Like what else have you lied to me about?
Speaker 1 (24:50):
What else?
Speaker 3 (24:51):
They have so much leverage? I don't see how how they.
Speaker 4 (24:55):
Don't win something like that, but I was I just
wanted to double check. I was, like I mentioned it
earlier that I feel like the league would want to
protect the story from getting out too much, even though
you're right, fans don't care about this because they're just
thinking money, money for people.
Speaker 3 (25:09):
Who already have money, like that's what this is.
Speaker 4 (25:11):
And they're like, oh, owners, owners suck all the time.
That's always been like, you know, they never want to pay.
Speaker 3 (25:15):
But I feel like there maybe is a little bit.
Speaker 4 (25:19):
Of the shield trying to protect the story from getting
out even more. I looked at ESPN's ex Twitter account.
No tweets about that. You'll read tweet what said about
this agent doing some record deal when I don't care
about the damn agent, But you're gonna retweet that Bleacher report.
You're gonna retweet that they haven't they haven't tweeted this
out either.
Speaker 3 (25:39):
No big uh.
Speaker 4 (25:41):
Like of the big networks, the big pages, the big
you know, Bleacher Reports, sports, they're not tweeting about that.
Speaker 3 (25:48):
I wonder why.
Speaker 1 (25:49):
It's a It's difficult because it is. It's a story about.
Speaker 3 (25:53):
Business, right, it is a story about business.
Speaker 1 (25:55):
And this is why the big reaction I've seen today
on social media from a lot of a lot of
experts and put it, why is this not a bigger deal?
Why is this not exploded? Because, yeah, fans don't care
because they think players in all sports are overpaid. So
why am I gonna go crazy about the fact that
Joe Burrow could have gotten three hundred and twenty five
million dollars contract but only got two hundred and seventy
(26:16):
five million. Right, I'm not gonna have any sympathy for it,
and I don't have a lot of sympathy for it, Okay,
So that's all he got. So that's gonna be that
that's that's gonna fall on death fears, that's gonna that's
gonna be the case of, Hey, you think fans are
gonna go crazy about this, and that's gonna push the
energy of the story forward. It's not if you want
to push this forward, it's hey, you take it from
the angle of this is our union. That didn't help us,
(26:38):
because that's something everybody understands, and this is where we
bargained against the against the NFL, and it turns out
they were in cahoots with with our people. That's not
we need a new CBA. And then that's when you
would get people, Okay, I understand this and how bad
this was because the NFL looks really bad. I don't
know what the NFL could say now that could come
(26:58):
out and put and put any sort of and tamp
this down. Because if there wasn't a truth to this
right away, the NFL would have put out a statement
saying we we we refer you to our lawyers and
we have no comment. And this is this is not
but the fact that this story has been out there,
this story came out and there was no response, no
reaction because I guess the NFL is scared right now.
(27:18):
And three four five Park Avenue was saying, I don't know, man,
I don't know what do we do. This is really
really bad, man, this is really bad. So this is
where if you're the players, you have to push that
advantage of saying, hey want new leadership and a new CBA,
because that's that's the least you could do for us,
and it would be a favorable CBA where they would
get a bigger piece of the pie or different things
(27:39):
they wanted, because they would the NFL would have no choice.
You screwed us over man, this is this is a
really big deal. Now again, if you want to sit
here and say, oh, hey, the players could because when
you get into the abstract hundreds of millions of dollars,
you lose by look and as an if I'm an
average fan, you lose me on that, right, you really do?
You lose me on that because I don't. I don't
sit back and say, oh, well, well a guy that
(28:00):
signed for two years and four million, uh, that's the
guy you're screwing. No, you're you're you're screwing the guys
at the very top end of the scale because they're
setting the bar for whoever comes next. A right, teams
are gonna say, well, yeah, you know, okay, this guy,
you know, two hundred thousand dollars. Really that's you know,
because this guy, we we don't want to give him
two years and four point two million, we'll geting him
two years and formally no, it's gonna be, Hey, we
(28:22):
don't want to give him one hundred million dollars, Garret,
do you want to give him fifty five? We don't
want to give him two hundred and fifty million, Garret,
you want to give one hundred and seventy five million?
Like that's where you're getting into that number, and that's
where the iriage fan is going to say, yeah, because
they've always felt they can't connect in any sport is overpaid.
You don't need that kind of money, but you you
take it down to that level of, Hey, I understand
what it is to be in a union and to
(28:43):
have the union be working against you. That's that's the
angle I push, and I push that all day long,
and I see what I can get from the NFL.
Speaker 4 (28:52):
Okay, the next question after that, after you, after you
push as much as you.
Speaker 3 (28:56):
Can, I'm with you.
Speaker 4 (28:57):
Get all you can abolish the NFLPA start over who
told this to Pablo? Who was the whistleblower who was
that was like, Hey, you should actually here's a story
and look into this and investigate. This didn't just come
out of nowhere, and this isn't the one that we
can only assume that there has been other cover ups,
(29:20):
you know, throughout the last couple of years.
Speaker 3 (29:22):
Who told him first?
Speaker 1 (29:24):
Well, so I go back to now while we're waiting,
and I'm glad you asked me this because I have
very good experience in this, because.
Speaker 3 (29:31):
I mean sneaky.
Speaker 1 (29:32):
Yeah, oh yeah, you kid, I'm so sneaky. I'm so sneaky,
so sneaky. No, in fact, my wife will tell you
like I can't lie, like she always knows if I'm
lying about something. Not that I lie about something, but
if she says, hey, did you did you take the
garbage out? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, I didn't. You didn't do it,
did you? No, I'm doing right now, but you want
to do it right now? I'm good right now, but no.
But I have the experience is because I have seen
(29:54):
enough movies should know, and I've seen enough whistleblower movies
to know that you find the one person who is
having the crisis of conscience, and then maybe they don't
know if they want to come forward, as maybe they
they say they want to come forward. Then they're getting nervous,
they're not sure, and you convince them that you can
protect them, and then they realize eventually, in a very
(30:16):
big moment in the movie, they want to do the
right thing, so yes, I will talk, but now you
protect me. And then of course they don't wind up
getting protected, and it ends in a gunfight. Gunshot somewhere,
gunfire somewhere. So that's how the movies end. But this
it's somebody who was unhappy that found this out, that said, hey,
you're not gonna you're not gonna believe what the players
(30:36):
and the and the NFL have been going on. And
it could be somebody who was in the inter city
And is that sending in an email to Bruce Allen. Yes,
that's what he did. And it could be it could
be a someone who used to be in the inner
circle that is not It could be somebody who found
this out by accident, you know, like like how Tom
Cruise found out about overbuilding in the firm and he
(30:58):
was like, my accent, well look at we're over building here.
I can't believe this, and that became a whole thing.
Speaker 3 (31:02):
No, that's not as exciting. He want somebody to have switched.
Speaker 1 (31:04):
He got chased by the guy and saw I mean
he outran he outran Jigsaw. I mean it's stayed alive
in the firm and back when he could run, I
mean he he ran. Tobin. What's his name? Tobin Tobin
Not Tobin wrote, Not tobn Joeby Maguire, Not Tobin Tobey Maguire,
No Tobin Toby. Oh, what's Tobin Bell? Tobin Bell, Tobin Bell,
(31:25):
Tobyn Bell. Maybe Tobin Bell?
Speaker 3 (31:26):
Is it Tobin Bell?
Speaker 1 (31:27):
Josh Tobin Bell? Not Josh Wow, my shirt learning about
sports tonight. You're like a computer man, Josh. But what
sport does Josh Bell play? Yes? Very good, Wow, very nice.
That's really good. So that's I'm sure that's how it went,
because that's how it goes in all the movies, and
it must be how it is in real life.
Speaker 3 (31:47):
Tourbin Bell.
Speaker 1 (31:48):
You were right on the money, Torburn Bell. Like I'm
picturing someone who looks like Russell Crowe, except Russell Crowe
when he tries to dress like he like Bill Gates,
like with the short sleeve dresh and the glasses and
oh this is not you know, hunky Gladiator. Hold, Oh no,
this is like, oh I'm looking a little bit Matt Damon,
a little bit like that's kind of what I'm expecting.
Speaker 4 (32:09):
They got to look like, uh, follow up question after
everything you just said. So you're like, I know how
this goes because I've watched.
Speaker 3 (32:14):
A lot of movies.
Speaker 1 (32:15):
Yeah. Yeah, So do you.
Speaker 4 (32:16):
Do you also feel like you can like operate on
someone because I'm sure you've seen a lot of movies.
Speaker 3 (32:20):
With Yeah, do you feel like you can?
Speaker 1 (32:22):
Very minor? I know you have to. You have to
cut like you mean it right, You have to cut
like me, you do. Yeah, you gotta cut.
Speaker 3 (32:28):
You gotta cut.
Speaker 1 (32:29):
You don't have to, you can't ge't worry about you
getting into it. You gotta cut. You it's a big
layer of skin, right, and then when they tell you
what to pull out, it kind of looks like it right.
Speaker 3 (32:39):
So okay, you would feel comfortable.
Speaker 1 (32:40):
I mean, I know now, I know.
Speaker 4 (32:42):
Shirt has like I don't know, a straight bullet just
caught him in the shoulder.
Speaker 3 (32:46):
You got to get in there. You're gonna go in there?
Speaker 1 (32:48):
I O. Yeah, Well I get because apparently when some
stuff like that happens, there's always tweezers or some kind
of extraction item on hand. So I would say, give
me your your extraction thing and I would, Well, the
first thing I would do is I would either oh no,
here's what I would do. I would get alcohol, like
I'd get real like like like like like whiskey or whatever,
pour it right onto the wound. Because that's what you
(33:09):
do in the movies. She would scream, You would scream,
I would dig in, the blood would pour out. I
would pull out the bullet and then I would get
a lit cigar and just right on it to close
the wound, because that's how they do with the movies.
Speaker 3 (33:22):
That's good.
Speaker 1 (33:23):
And I would and I would charge I mean, you
wouldn't have insurance for it, but I would charge it.
Speaker 3 (33:27):
You would charge it.
Speaker 1 (33:27):
That's like a that's like a fifty thousand dollars insurance. Yeah,
do you have in shirts to cover that? Yeah? Okay,
all right, to be fifty thousand dollars for that? Oh
yeah yeah, it's all of a sudden deductible. Yeah. What's
what's your cope? Yeah? Okay, yeah, all right, we'll work
out a payment plan. So no, so don't get shot
with a straight bullet and or arrow. And also if
it's an arrow, I pull the arrow out the back.
(33:47):
They all because you know, don't pull the arrow out
the other way because it will stay in the body
because of the way the arrows.
Speaker 3 (33:52):
So if you got shot with an arrow, keep pushing it.
Speaker 1 (33:54):
I'd push it and then pull it. Yeah, I'm painful.
Yeah no, but you've got to. Yeah, but that's how
you do it. I mean, I'm an. I just don't
get shot.
Speaker 3 (34:01):

(04:34):
those letters. There's a K and a Z and a U,
but there's no be. I'll think something better, not even close,
not not even something better. All right, all right, but
I'm glad to say that the High Speed Quarterback Ever
is on in the Pittsburgh now, so that's cool. All right,
that's okay. Like I say, you're like you're learning, You're
like Skynett becoming self awareness. Yeah, like in the Terminator movie,
I Cannot harm humans. Yeah, well they changed that petty quick.
(04:56):
Yeah yeah yet Yeah, don't worry.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
Don't love Skynett.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
So, speaking of Skynet becoming operational, we now have a
new player with the title of highest paid player in
NBA history, Shake Gildess. Alexander held this record for the
better part of five days, with his Big super Max extension,
carrying an average of seventy one point two five million
(05:21):
dollars a year. Right that's the richest ever contract. Seventy
one point two five million dollars a year. Okay, and
rightfully so the guy won the MVPE won, He won
won the Larry O'Brian Trophy. So okay, Shake Gildess Alexander
got it. That is no longer the case because now
that title goes to Sun Superstar Devin Booker. As you
(05:43):
mentioned a few minutes ago, he agreed to a two year,
one hundred and forty five million dollars maximum contract extension,
meaning that he has surpassed Shake Gildess Alexander for most
money per year. Now he is up over seventy two
million dollars a year. Devin Booker, not Jalen Brunson, not
(06:06):
Luka Doncic. It's Devin Booker and his twenty five points
a game in Phoenix now making more money per year
than anybody in the history of the NBA.
Speaker 4 (06:17):
Wow, that's a lot of money, Devin Booker, a lot.
You're not even gonna have enough time in your life
to spend it all, but that is a lot of money.
What else was he gonna do? He had really no
other option.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
He wanted to stay, he wanted he wanted to keep it.
Speaker 3 (06:37):
Yeah, and so he's like, great, you want to pay
me now.
Speaker 4 (06:40):
I mean, we're gonna suck for maybe a year or
two or three or four, ten or possibly ten, especially
since they don't have control of their draft picks for
the next seven years.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
Twenty fifty after Bobby, after the last Bobby been here,
when sho hao Ton he gets done getting paid by
the Dodgers, they have actually have their first first exactly.
Speaker 4 (07:00):
And that's when they may start to turn things around. So, yeah,
he gets what he wants. He obviously knows the situation
in Phoenix is not great, but he doesn't have to
move to a cold state.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
He doesn't have to go anywhere.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
He can just here.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
Are there taxes in Arizona.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
There's no outdoor games anywhere. I don't know that they
don't do like the New Year's Day outdoor NHLA. There's
all the games are indoors.
Speaker 4 (07:28):
They're all in he'son air conditioning, like he's chilling. And
I feel like the Suns were also in this situation
where it's like, listen, we went for all of it already,
getting Kevin Durant getting Bradley Beal and for some reason
a green to a no trade clause.
Speaker 3 (07:42):
I don't know about that.
Speaker 4 (07:43):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
They had also kind of had no other options here.
Speaker 4 (07:46):
They're like, all right, well, you're a guy, let's be
miserable together.
Speaker 3 (07:51):
Dollars. All of a sudden, you're not so miserable.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
Yeah, let's watch the end with me, like Wolf getting
Van Halenson. So here's the thing before we get to
the the bigger picture on this one. I like this
move because there's worse guys to build around. You don't
win in the NBA without stars, sure, and Devin Booker
has been there, he wants to be there. I like
that they've been aggressive. I mean, even though Metish be
is a guy that wakes up Jesus computer and says, oh,
(08:15):
let's go get that guy like he's that you know,
like like you do. And again, I feel like so
many people run their teams like it's a fantasy team.
And but I like the aggressions right went after Kevin
Durant didn't work. Okay, didn't think it was gonna work,
hasn't worked in six years, but okay, but at least
they were aggressive going out and get Bradley Beale. Okay,
at least it was aggressive. So I like that, and
(08:35):
you again, you don't win without stars. And now it's
about being able to retool the right players around him
and you have him for the rest of his prime
from the year twenty eight to thirty two, thirty three
years old. So I love that. But the bigger thing
is this, And I can't believe we talked about this
last night because the big topic in the NBA last
night was Nicola Yoki said, Hey, I don't want to
sign a contract extension this offseason. I want to wait
(08:56):
till next year. Now, in theory, could it be, Hey,
if Denver's thinks I could bolt, I might want to
go because he's a different kind of dude, Like I
can see him saying that. But he's eligible for a
much bigger extension next offseason, in which he would get
the last year or two of his contract up near
and over potentially over eighty million dollars a year. Okay,
(09:17):
because right now, the last year of his contract is
sixty two and a half million dollars. Right when he
signed that two couple of years ago, I said, that's
the biggest that's the biggest contract boost. You can get
because by twenty thirty, we're gonna have a player in
the NBA or the NFL, maybe both making one hundred
million dollars a year. We're getting to that point now. Obviously,
(09:38):
now here's two years later. You've seen the way the
basketball salaries have grown NFL salaries, which you know, we'll
get to why they haven't grown in a few minutes,
because that was a big deal today. But the NFL
salaries for quarterbacks need to be going up a little
bit more incrementally, whereas these salaries are just kind of jumping.
So in two years, sixty two and a half million
for Jokich, now here we are at seventy two and
(09:58):
a half million. It's twenty two, twenty five, So we
signs that deal. Next year, he's gonna be up near
eighty and maybe a little bit over eighty million a year.
So now I just have four more years to go.
And then by the time we get to twenty thirty,
someone's gonna be making one hundred million dollars a year,
and again it's probably gonna be Wemby. I would say
it's probably that's the guy. Right the talent level he has,
it's like getting Yannis again in four years or four
(10:21):
years or so, when Wemby is in his you know,
his mid twenties and he's becoming the biggest star in
the game, and he's the most skilled player any of
us have ever seen. He's gonna be the guy. By
twenty thirty, someone's gonna be making one hundred million dollars
years in the NBA again, probably Wemby. And that's gonna
be the best Bowl prediction I ever made in my life.
So it's gonna be a seven year bold prediction, and
it's gonna come true by the time we get to
(10:43):
twenty thirty.
Speaker 4 (10:43):
At this point, it's not even bold because you are
so right. That is the trajectory we are going on.
And I think the bigger bold prediction to add to this,
It's not just gonna be one player. It's not just
gonna be Victor one Bia. Oh, It's gonna be a
couple of players at that point.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
Jalen Brunson. Yeah, I mean, who's.
Speaker 3 (11:01):
It, Jalen Brunson might be making eighty million at that point,
you know what I mean?
Speaker 4 (11:04):
A couple of movies absolutely, Luca Cooper Flag could be one,
you know that is on that trajectory. We can think
of like the good young players right now that could
be carrying teams that don't want to let them go.
Paolo Bancaro, who just signed his max rookie extension with
the Orlando Magic. The Magic are making moves. They're also
trying to get out there and the East is a
lot more open. Let's see the Magic stay successful. They're
(11:27):
not gonna let him go in a couple of years
that he might reach a number like that. Kate Cunningham
could reach a number like that with Detroit if they
decide that they want to keep trying to build around
him because he's their center piece. There's a few young
players that could crazily reach one hundred million.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
Luca is the one of I mean, look, Kate Cunningham
would have to leave Detroit because they I don't think
they have the out of the day. I don't think
the entire city could put money together they would for him,
Luca depending on what kind of deal he signs now, right,
because he's going to want a new, newish kind of
deal with the Lakers now now. But if he has
a big year next year, you get in maybe a
year or two years from now, he's gonna be the
(12:05):
next guy to push that near ninety million a year,
right because he because you're gonna have Yokic pushing it
to about a little bit over eighty next year. But
then being in Los Angeles being the big star, Luca's
gonna be twenty six, twenty seven years old, all of
a sudden, he's the guy. Hey, guess what, Luca is
now making ninety million a year, right, that's gonna be
the last couple of years of his contractor ninety million.
(12:25):
So we're gon I mean, really, we're going to get
to you. Right. It may be more than one, but
I would say Jokic is gonna do it next offseason.
Probably Luca has the next the next big push after
that with his with his youth and his talent level
being able to get that kind of money. And then
you're looking at, okay, who are the guys that are
kind of rookies now the last couple of years, and
that's Wemby and maybe it's Cooper Flag, but that's gonna
(12:48):
be that's where you're looking to plant near flag and
go okay, and clearly, look, Cooper Flagg's got to play
first to see obviously, but We've seen Wemby, We've seen
how great a player he is and what he can
do across the board. And yeah, it's a lot of
money for san Antoni. But as you say, yeah, you know,
everybody finds money somewhere, they find nickels in the couch cushions,
you know, when they need to. But I would say
(13:08):
I have to put money on it. I would say
Wemby would be that guy to put that one hundred
next one hundred million dollar contract.
Speaker 3 (13:14):
You're not wrong. I think you're right.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
He's gonna win the Olympics in twenty eight for France here, right,
that's gonna be another big thing, right because because that
thing glad we won, laught Olympics says now we got
to play France. Forget it, man, France is gonna destroy us.
Webby is gonna every game, is gonna have a quadruple
double against us. Right, So we am glad we won.
So Wemby's gonna have that, He's gonna have the Olympics.
He gonna watch one hundred million for Wemby.
Speaker 4 (13:35):
Oh, so he's gonna be the king of the castle,
the king of the world. That the point, at that point, he's.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
Gonna come to la and win the Olympics and win.
Speaker 3 (13:41):
The Olympics and then they're gonna throw one hundred million
dollars at him.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (13:45):
I mean, it's it's crazy to think, but this is
where we are.
Speaker 4 (13:47):
And like I, the the Sons and Devin.
Speaker 3 (13:50):
Booker had no other choice but to do this. They
had no other choice. Yeah, this is the situation that they.
Speaker 4 (13:56):
Are in right now, and they kind of just like,
all right, let's shake it out. We're gonna we're gonna
do this together.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
I like, because if you're starting over, how how are
you gonna go get somebody else? And you're gonna find
a mix with and and the era of getting three
stars and putting together that's gone now for like, okay,
we ever one star. Now who's our next two? Right?
We thought we had KD and now who's our next
guy to pair? And it's continued to be trial and
error till you figure it out. But again, the Suns
are aggressive and they like to do it, so okay,
(14:22):
I'd rather have that than my than my team going yeah,
we're gonna wait to sign you because maybe it'll go down,
and you know it's not going down, right, It's like
I'm gonna wait to get gas for a couple of
days in case the gas prices come down. No, gas,
friends aren't coming down. Go get ghasled. If your car
needs gas, go get it.
Speaker 4 (14:36):
And you also don't want to be Nico Harrison and
lego of the guy that is.
Speaker 3 (14:42):
Your whole team.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
Oh wait, wait, wait till it could be Cooper Flag
and and and the Mavericks trade him because they don't
want to give them a hundred million dollars a year. Yeah,
we don't want to give a hundred million dollars a
year too much hooka and beer and yeah, no, no, no,
we're not gonna sign them.
Speaker 4 (14:55):
Nico Harrison has already ruined it, so if he does it,
I game people would be like, of course it's Nico Harrison.
If the son's leg go of Devin Booker that you know,
that fan base is like, what what the hell?
Speaker 3 (15:04):
Guys, this is our dude, this has been our dude,
same thing.
Speaker 4 (15:08):
So I'm with you.
Speaker 3 (15:09):
They're aggressive. I like it.
Speaker 4 (15:11):
They tried it didn't work, and they're staying aggressive. It's
what you want if you're a fan of the Suns.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
I want that. I also now I also want to
see Nico Harrison trade Cooper Fleas. That would be great.
Speaker 3 (15:19):
It was so good.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
They let him trade, They let him trade Cooper.
Speaker 3 (15:24):
It would be so good.
Speaker 4 (15:26):
I would love it so much, just for to say
those of the toxic he would have to move to
like Europe.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
He would have to move yeah, yeah, yeah, and and
live with an assumed name and going some kind of protection.
Speaker 3 (15:40):
Yeah. Absolutely, exit.

Speaker 1 (18:25):

boyfriend's gonna go Okay, You're not doing a show anymore now.
Speaker 3 (18:33):
So I've got to stay in the moment.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
Okay, Okay, Because because I know people who are always
in radio mode, like people that do red like the
people I've met in my life where a conversation with
them seems like a segment from a show. M hm.
You know, like I would say, oh, you know, hit
me up on LinkedIn. The other days, I haven't heard
from this guy in like in like fifteen years. Hit
(18:56):
me up on LinkedIn. It was amazing. And then the
person said, well, it's then you gotta be on link
if you if you're now LinkedIn. LinkedIn is where everybody's
got to be right. If you want, you want, if
it's it's a whole thing for and it's like, okay,
now you're doing a radio second, turn out being on LinkedIn?
Speaker 2 (19:10):
Right?
Speaker 1 (19:10):
How important LinkedIn is. It's like having an agent in sports.
It's that important you have if you If you can't network,
you're not gonna be able to do anything like Okay, okay,
I don't want to do a show with you. I'm
just saying, hey, so and so that we know hitting
me up on LinkedIn. I haven't talked to him in
fifteen years.
Speaker 3 (19:25):
It's just telling you. I'm just sharing this. That's how.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
That's how conversations with some radio hosts gobb okay, yeah,
do you're gonna radio host me here. Okay, all right,
that's that's good. All right, I'm gonna go stand over here.
You stand over this.
Speaker 3 (19:36):
I'm definitely not always on like that.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
I'm standing over here. No, I know. I can see
you when the radio mode you get off the I
could see you getting very upset about things in sports
and then and start and I could see you cursing.
I'm in both English and Spanish. Yeah, I can see that.
I could say, okay, and then someone saying, you're not
at work, monsy, Now you're not at work. No, maha, monsy,
(19:58):
no maha, monsy. I can see that. I can see
stop saying all those bad words. Well, there's a lot
of bad words that I'm sure have been said in
the last few hours after this NFL story that we're
going to bring that. And again, it's so weird because
it's a huge story, but generally fans are not going
(20:19):
to care. But let me explain how so Pablo Tory,
who apparently finds out everything because you know his podcast
as Pablo Tory finds out, decided to go away from
I really want to find out how this Bill Belichick
Jordan Hudson relationship started. Now he is into unearthing secret
agreements between the NFL and the NFL Players Association. This
(20:41):
big story today. Look, don Van Aada's name is on
it on ESPNC. You know it's a big deal. Pablo
Tory first unearthed this a couple of weeks ago on
his podcast. But now there is a report that NFL
and senior leaders of the NFL Players Association struck a
confidentiality agreement that hid the deeps of a big decision
(21:01):
from players. Now what's that decision? The decision was to
limit the guaranteed player money that players were going to
get in contracts. Okay, so wait, what does that mean.
That's a lot of talk. Yes, what it means is
this after Deshaun Watson signed his big guaranteed contract with
the Cleveland Browns, there are a lot of upset owners
(21:22):
and fans. Why is this guy getting a guaranteed contract?
All these is coming off a horrible headline that I
still can't it over and can't believe he's in the league.
And not only does he get a big contract, he
gets more guaranteed money than anybody ever. Two hundred and
thirty million dollars guaranteed teams were upset, players were upset fans,
everybody's upset about this. After this, apparently the NFL and
the NFL Player Association came to an agreement that they
(21:46):
would limit the guaranteed money going to new players for
getting new contracts. And in the last few years, since
DeShawn Watson has signed his contract, Joe Burrow has signed
a new contract, Josh Allen's got a new contract. We've
seen other big time quarter get paid. Dak Prescott signed
a new contract all in free agency. And now apparently
there was this agreement between owners and the players Association
(22:08):
that they would help to limit the money that these
players can earn. Now, this is a huge deal for
a couple of reasons. The big deal is because if
I'm a player, like the Players Association is supposed to
have your back and not be colluding with the NFL
to keep you from getting paid money like this is.
Like when this story came out, we talked with this
in the first hour of the show. You have to
(22:30):
replace everybody. You got to get rid of everybody on here, right,
You got to you have to have entirely new leadership
because now you have no idea what else they've done.
But they've been looking out for you in the last years,
have they not? You talked about how Hey, the biggest
thing for you is that what else have you been
keeping a secret from us? You've you've kept players from
setting a level of money because you didn't want to
(22:52):
give guarantees so much guaranteed money to Burrow and Lamar
Jackson who also had a big contract. Right, you want
to give money to all of these people. So what
else are you Are you not telling me? You need
new leadership? And I'll go even further if i'm the players,
I see you know what I want now. I want
a new collective bargaining agreement. I want a new CBA,
and you can't fight me on this. We're gonna have
(23:13):
new leadership in here that are gonna go and we
want a new CBA, want a bigger piece of the
pie because you have been cheating us over the course
of the past few years. This is a huge story.
That's the part of the story that's a big deal
for me is that you have the This is like
a union, not going to back for a peron. You
pay dues to be in a union. Right, You're gonna
protect me when something happens and you find out, oh hey, yeah, no,
(23:35):
not pret I've been in it with the owners all along. Yeah,
oh sorry about that, but you know he probably would
have done the same thing they asked us to do.
This is kind of a my scratch they're back. They
scratch ours like we we don't go after all kinds
of crazy money in a contract, and then they give
us something back up. But this is where you're supposed
to fight for the players, and I can't imagine what
what the the messaging going back and forth between NFL
(23:58):
players and the players leaders on the player Association, who
are like, Okay, we need new people and t everything
else needs to happen. We have been who knows what
we have been cheated out of in the last few years.
Speaker 3 (24:08):
The messaging is not good, Jason.
Speaker 4 (24:10):
Whatever is being messaged, it's probably like F you, F you,
f you, How.
Speaker 3 (24:15):
Did you guys do this?
Speaker 4 (24:17):
The big thing is what else have you guys colluded to?
What else have you agreed to but didn't tell us
that benefited the owners when you're supposed to be fighting
for us, like you just said. So the players have
every right and every leverage to say I want to
start everything over. How do I know what's been presented
(24:38):
to me for the last ten years is real, Like
they have every right to do that.
Speaker 3 (24:42):
Are they gonna get a new CBA? Probably not.
Speaker 1 (24:45):
Oh no, you go for it, but you got to
go for it.
Speaker 3 (24:49):
Like what else have you lied to me about?
Speaker 1 (24:50):
What else?
Speaker 3 (24:51):
They have so much leverage? I don't see how how they.
Speaker 4 (24:55):
Don't win something like that, but I was I just
wanted to double check. I was, like I mentioned it
earlier that I feel like the league would want to
protect the story from getting out too much, even though
you're right, fans don't care about this because they're just
thinking money, money for people.
Speaker 3 (25:09):
Who already have money, like that's what this is.
Speaker 4 (25:11):
And they're like, oh, owners, owners suck all the time.
That's always been like, you know, they never want to pay.
Speaker 3 (25:15):
But I feel like there maybe is a little bit.
Speaker 4 (25:19):
Of the shield trying to protect the story from getting
out even more. I looked at ESPN's ex Twitter account.
No tweets about that. You'll read tweet what said about
this agent doing some record deal when I don't care
about the damn agent, But you're gonna retweet that Bleacher report.
You're gonna retweet that they haven't they haven't tweeted this
out either.
Speaker 3 (25:39):
No big uh.
Speaker 4 (25:41):
Like of the big networks, the big pages, the big
you know, Bleacher Reports, sports, they're not tweeting about that.
Speaker 3 (25:48):
I wonder why.
Speaker 1 (25:49):
It's a It's difficult because it is. It's a story about.
Speaker 3 (25:53):
Business, right, it is a story about business.
Speaker 1 (25:55):
And this is why the big reaction I've seen today
on social media from a lot of a lot of
experts and put it, why is this not a bigger deal?
Why is this not exploded? Because, yeah, fans don't care
because they think players in all sports are overpaid. So
why am I gonna go crazy about the fact that
Joe Burrow could have gotten three hundred and twenty five
million dollars contract but only got two hundred and seventy
(26:16):
five million. Right, I'm not gonna have any sympathy for it,
and I don't have a lot of sympathy for it, Okay,
So that's all he got. So that's gonna be that
that's that's gonna fall on death fears, that's gonna that's
gonna be the case of, Hey, you think fans are
gonna go crazy about this, and that's gonna push the
energy of the story forward. It's not if you want
to push this forward, it's hey, you take it from
the angle of this is our union. That didn't help us,
(26:38):
because that's something everybody understands, and this is where we
bargained against the against the NFL, and it turns out
they were in cahoots with with our people. That's not
we need a new CBA. And then that's when you
would get people, Okay, I understand this and how bad
this was because the NFL looks really bad. I don't
know what the NFL could say now that could come
(26:58):
out and put and put any sort of and tamp
this down. Because if there wasn't a truth to this
right away, the NFL would have put out a statement
saying we we we refer you to our lawyers and
we have no comment. And this is this is not
but the fact that this story has been out there,
this story came out and there was no response, no
reaction because I guess the NFL is scared right now.
(27:18):
And three four five Park Avenue was saying, I don't know, man,
I don't know what do we do. This is really
really bad, man, this is really bad. So this is
where if you're the players, you have to push that
advantage of saying, hey want new leadership and a new CBA,
because that's that's the least you could do for us,
and it would be a favorable CBA where they would
get a bigger piece of the pie or different things
(27:39):
they wanted, because they would the NFL would have no choice.
You screwed us over man, this is this is a
really big deal. Now again, if you want to sit
here and say, oh, hey, the players could because when
you get into the abstract hundreds of millions of dollars,
you lose by look and as an if I'm an
average fan, you lose me on that, right, you really do?
You lose me on that because I don't. I don't
sit back and say, oh, well, well a guy that
(28:00):
signed for two years and four million, uh, that's the
guy you're screwing. No, you're you're you're screwing the guys
at the very top end of the scale because they're
setting the bar for whoever comes next. A right, teams
are gonna say, well, yeah, you know, okay, this guy,
you know, two hundred thousand dollars. Really that's you know,
because this guy, we we don't want to give him
two years and four point two million, we'll geting him
two years and formally no, it's gonna be, Hey, we
(28:22):
don't want to give him one hundred million dollars, Garret,
do you want to give him fifty five? We don't
want to give him two hundred and fifty million, Garret,
you want to give one hundred and seventy five million?
Like that's where you're getting into that number, and that's
where the iriage fan is going to say, yeah, because
they've always felt they can't connect in any sport is overpaid.
You don't need that kind of money, but you you
take it down to that level of, Hey, I understand
what it is to be in a union and to
(28:43):
have the union be working against you. That's that's the
angle I push, and I push that all day long,
and I see what I can get from the NFL.
Speaker 4 (28:52):
Okay, the next question after that, after you, after you
push as much as you.
Speaker 3 (28:56):
Can, I'm with you.
Speaker 4 (28:57):
Get all you can abolish the NFLPA start over who
told this to Pablo? Who was the whistleblower who was
that was like, Hey, you should actually here's a story
and look into this and investigate. This didn't just come
out of nowhere, and this isn't the one that we
can only assume that there has been other cover ups,
(29:20):
you know, throughout the last couple of years.
Speaker 3 (29:22):
Who told him first?
Speaker 1 (29:24):
Well, so I go back to now while we're waiting,
and I'm glad you asked me this because I have
very good experience in this, because.
Speaker 3 (29:31):
I mean sneaky.
Speaker 1 (29:32):
Yeah, oh yeah, you kid, I'm so sneaky. I'm so sneaky,
so sneaky. No, in fact, my wife will tell you
like I can't lie, like she always knows if I'm
lying about something. Not that I lie about something, but
if she says, hey, did you did you take the
garbage out? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, I didn't. You didn't do it,
did you? No, I'm doing right now, but you want
to do it right now? I'm good right now, but no.
But I have the experience is because I have seen
(29:54):
enough movies should know, and I've seen enough whistleblower movies
to know that you find the one person who is
having the crisis of conscience, and then maybe they don't
know if they want to come forward, as maybe they
they say they want to come forward. Then they're getting nervous,
they're not sure, and you convince them that you can
protect them, and then they realize eventually, in a very
(30:16):
big moment in the movie, they want to do the
right thing, so yes, I will talk, but now you
protect me. And then of course they don't wind up
getting protected, and it ends in a gunfight. Gunshot somewhere,
gunfire somewhere. So that's how the movies end. But this
it's somebody who was unhappy that found this out, that said, hey,
you're not gonna you're not gonna believe what the players
(30:36):
and the and the NFL have been going on. And
it could be somebody who was in the inter city
And is that sending in an email to Bruce Allen. Yes,
that's what he did. And it could be it could
be a someone who used to be in the inner
circle that is not It could be somebody who found
this out by accident, you know, like like how Tom
Cruise found out about overbuilding in the firm and he
(30:58):
was like, my accent, well look at we're over building here.
I can't believe this, and that became a whole thing.
Speaker 3 (31:02):
No, that's not as exciting. He want somebody to have switched.
Speaker 1 (31:04):
He got chased by the guy and saw I mean
he outran he outran Jigsaw. I mean it's stayed alive
in the firm and back when he could run, I
mean he he ran. Tobin. What's his name? Tobin Tobin
Not Tobin wrote, Not tobn Joeby Maguire, Not Tobin Tobey Maguire,
No Tobin Toby. Oh, what's Tobin Bell? Tobin Bell, Tobin Bell,
(31:25):
Tobyn Bell. Maybe Tobin Bell?
Speaker 3 (31:26):
Is it Tobin Bell?
Speaker 1 (31:27):
Josh Tobin Bell? Not Josh Wow, my shirt learning about
sports tonight. You're like a computer man, Josh. But what
sport does Josh Bell play? Yes? Very good, Wow, very nice.
That's really good. So that's I'm sure that's how it went,
because that's how it goes in all the movies, and
it must be how it is in real life.
Speaker 3 (31:47):
Tourbin Bell.
Speaker 1 (31:48):
You were right on the money, Torburn Bell. Like I'm
picturing someone who looks like Russell Crowe, except Russell Crowe
when he tries to dress like he like Bill Gates,
like with the short sleeve dresh and the glasses and
oh this is not you know, hunky Gladiator. Hold, Oh no,
this is like, oh I'm looking a little bit Matt Damon,
a little bit like that's kind of what I'm expecting.
Speaker 4 (32:09):
They got to look like, uh, follow up question after
everything you just said. So you're like, I know how
this goes because I've watched.
Speaker 3 (32:14):
A lot of movies.
Speaker 1 (32:15):
Yeah. Yeah, So do you.
Speaker 4 (32:16):
Do you also feel like you can like operate on
someone because I'm sure you've seen a lot of movies.
Speaker 3 (32:20):

Speaker 1 (32:22):
Very minor? I know you have to. You have to
cut like you mean it right, You have to cut
like me, you do. Yeah, you gotta cut.

You gotta cut.
Speaker 1 (32:29):
You don't have to, you can't ge't worry about you
getting into it. You gotta cut. You it's a big
layer of skin, right, and then when they tell you
what to pull out, it kind of looks like it right.
Speaker 3 (32:39):
So okay, you would feel comfortable.
Speaker 1 (32:40):
I mean, I know now, I know.
Speaker 4 (32:42):
Shirt has like I don't know, a straight bullet just
caught him in the shoulder.
Speaker 3 (32:46):
You got to get in there. You're gonna go in there?
Speaker 1 (32:48):
I O. Yeah, Well I get because apparently when some
stuff like that happens, there's always tweezers or some kind
of extraction item on hand. So I would say, give
me your your extraction thing and I would, Well, the
first thing I would do is I would either oh no,
here's what I would do. I would get alcohol, like
I'd get real like like like like like whiskey or whatever,
pour it right onto the wound. Because that's what you
(33:09):
do in the movies. She would scream, You would scream,
I would dig in, the blood would pour out. I
would pull out the bullet and then I would get
a lit cigar and just right on it to close
the wound, because that's how they do with the movies.
Speaker 3 (33:22):
That's good.
Speaker 1 (33:23):
And I would and I would charge I mean, you
wouldn't have insurance for it, but I would charge it.
Speaker 3 (33:27):
You would charge it.
Speaker 1 (33:27):
That's like a that's like a fifty thousand dollars insurance. Yeah,
do you have in shirts to cover that? Yeah? Okay,
all right, to be fifty thousand dollars for that? Oh
yeah yeah, it's all of a sudden deductible. Yeah. What's
what's your cope? Yeah? Okay, yeah, all right, we'll work
out a payment plan. So no, so don't get shot
with a straight bullet and or arrow. And also if
it's an arrow, I pull the arrow out the back.
(33:47):
They all because you know, don't pull the arrow out
the other way because it will stay in the body
because of the way the arrows.
Speaker 3 (33:52):
So if you got shot with an arrow, keep pushing it.

Yeah no, but you've got to. Yeah, but that's how
you do it. I mean, I'm an. I just don't
get shot.
