Nick Saban has only been retired fromcoaching college football for a hot minute versus
the span of his career, andhe's making a lot of waves, especially
when he shut up to Capitol Hillyesterday and talked about how he really is
not a fan of student athletes gettingpaid. All the things that I believed
in for all these years fifty yearsof coaching no longer exist in college athletics.
(00:25):
So it's always about developing players.It was always about helping people may
be more successful in life. Mywife even said to me, we'd have
all the recruits over on Sunday withtheir parents for breakfast, and she would
always meet with the mothers and talkabout how she was going to help and
impact their sons and how they wouldbe well taken care of. And she
(00:49):
came to me, you know,like right before I retired, and said,
why are we doing this? AndI said, what do you mean?
She said, all they care aboutis how much you're going to pay
them. They don't care about howyou're going to develop them, which is
all what we've always done, Sowhy are we doing this? So you
know, to me, that wassort of a rent alert that we really
are creating a circumstance here that isnot beneficial to the development of young people.
(01:15):
Hars. We discussed last week thatNick Saban said it was a contribute
contributing words, contributing factor to hisdecision to retire because of the way players
were acting throughout the season of whenthey would have losses and worried about what
their innil deals might look like,and worried if they're going to be on
the field, not because they wantto play, not because they want to
(01:37):
develop, but because it matters aboutwhat's coming into their pocket. Nick Saban,
now as a retired head football coachand soon to be an ESPN game
day talking head, has kind ofbecome this spear point of I guess taking
NIL away or adding some sort oflimitations onto what it currently is, which
(01:59):
is kind of free for all atthe moment right. I think the biggest
thing we can take away from whatNick Saban is trying to say is getting
back to the reason why you playcollege athletics. Obviously, your ultimate goal
for a lot of players is toget to the highest league that you can
possibly play in. But with NIL, I said this from the very beginning.
(02:22):
We talked about this a long timeago. There were never any boundaries
that were set at the very beginning. That was the biggest problem. Like
anything you do, there's boundaries.You can either accept the job or not
accept the job. You can docertain things to be in that position.
But now you can't put the toothpasteback in the toothpack. You can't do
(02:46):
it. You can't do it.It's tough. But moving forward, I
don't know what the rules and regulationscan be, so it's gonna be tough.
Well, I'm sure we'll see moreabout Nick Saban in the future,
but I think if he's gonna beon college game day, he's gonna have
to tone it back a little bitand add some more excitement and flare because
they're not gonna keep him around quickly. If he's just gonna, you know,
(03:07):
kind of drag his ball and chain. That is everything wrong with college
football right now. Onto that morningshow as they get people hype for the
day's games. Hard Moving over tothe NBA and someone else who is retired,
Isaiah Thomas. He's he's been butthurt since he was left off the
Olympic roster. He became even morebutt hurt when it was talked about on
(03:30):
the last Dance with Michael Jordan,and he feels that he has owed an
apology all these years later, allthese years later, from the Olympics to
twenty twenties, the last dance andhe was talking with Draymond and he specifically
said until he apologized on international television. He says, ain't no conversation.
(03:51):
So he's not cool with m J. And he don't want a private apology
because he said, you put meon blast in the public eye, so
I want to public apology. HargWhat is MJ apologizing for? All he
dropped were truth bombs. Well,he did kind of throw him under the
bus that if I'm not if you'regonna pick Isaiah to play on the Olympic
team, I'm not gonna play,okay, And so that Isaiah is one
(04:16):
of the best point guards in theNBA history, regardless if you like him
or not, and he's still provingto be. Yeah, oh yeah,
he just wants his apology. Butagain, at this point, y'all,
y'all aren't gonna be in the samerooms together. Do you really think an
apology will make him be quiet aboutthis? Yeah? I think it will.
He'll just walk away I think itwould because at this point MJ like
(04:39):
he did back in the day.I mean, he's carrying this dude,
oh for sure. And that's whyhe's still in the conversation. Yeah,
if that would have been done along time ago, if they would,
we wouldn't be talking about it now. But that's why Isaiah is like,
you you didn't put me old blast, I'm gonna put you on bod now.
Another little anecdote from this conversation yeahwith Draymond, was that Isaiah Thomas's,
uh, Steph Curry's not point guard? What is he? Yeah?
(05:02):
I guess he thinks he's more ofa shooting guard because Isaiah then mentions,
you know about all the assists thathe had in his career and that that's
not Steph. That's different. It'sdifferent. You know what I'm saying.
That's that's a totally different year intime and era. He's just trying to
say stuff. Yeah, at thispoint, I think to stay relevant,
and so you know, Keith myname out, Jamal, stop using Michael
(05:24):
Jordan and guys like Stephan Gurray forclout. Going over to the NFL for
our final story today, harje weheard about this Jacksonville Jaguar employee was found
to be stealing millions million of dollarsfrom the organization, specifically twenty two million.
I don't know how that happens forthat long, but this employee,
(05:46):
admit Pattel has been sentenced to sixand a half years in prison. He
is thirty one years old. Hefaced up to thirty so I'd say six
and a half is pretty great.And I think what he would doing was
you know, some wire fraud andfalse charges that he you know, wasn't
report. But on top of that, he also had like all these luxury
(06:09):
cars, and he had purchased like, uh, like game memorabilia from other
sports. And how was no onelike did he just not talk to anyone
ever in the office? Like didthey just think he went home to his
apartment? Like how did they notrealize that this dude's house has got all
of this stuff, that he's gotall this how are you affording it?
(06:30):
He was just looking for his stapler. That's all he was looking for,
is looking for his stapler. Hedidn't talk to anybody, He stayed away
from everybody, and I'm sure someother people were benefiting from that. But
he ended up being the fall guy, because if you're walking around and you
got that much money, cash notnot necessarily cash, because a lot of
it was transactions that were credit cardsand like bitcoin and things like that.
(06:55):
He was changing it to different Hetransferred over twenty million to between FanDuel and
DraftKings, and then that's also wherehe happened to lose a lot of money.
He has been ordered that he hasto pay back the twenty two million
and then some to the organization Hardesome of that memorabilia. He had Tiger
Woods nineteen ninety six putter, whichhe paid forty seven thousand dollars for.
(07:17):
Okay, he was winning all thoselatter those where you gotta sign up and
you bid on Yeah, seventy eightthousand in private jets, two hundred and
seventy eight thousand for hotels and rentalproperties and travel, and ninety five thousand
dollars on a single watch. Yeah, and and and also funny enough,
(07:42):
he continued to spend cash after hisfiring, specifically spending two thousand, two
hundred dollars on eBay for a gameused Trevor Lawrence Juicy for the team that
he was a part of. You'dthink, knowing this guy's wrap, why
didn't he's to try to walk inand steal one prior to being let go?
(08:03):
Well, because that one wasn't agame warn one he got, he
probably got a brand new one outif you try hard enough. That's exactly
what he was trying to put alittle blonde hair in the shoulder. No
one will, no one will knowthe difference. But do you okay?
For does the punishment fit the crime? Six and a half years? It
just stole twenty two million dollars froman organization that that's probably you know,
(08:24):
somebody else I dropped a dime beforeand they didn't even get that. They
just got a slap on the wrist. Do you think he'll ever pay back
that twenty two mons? No,it'll be in court forever. That dude
is just And when he gets out, he's gonna buy something else. He's
gonna be like that guy that wasin jail, that went to jail and
he called a bookie and was like, I need you. I need to
(08:45):
pay my bail money, so Ineed you to place this bet for me
and then I'll hit and then Icould get on. Well, and that
was probably because he lost a tonof money. Yeah, he lost I
think like fifteen million of the twentymillion that he put in there. Dude
had a tough to do. Wasso don't go to his betting to have
to do something, And hopefully Iwouldn't be surprised that the repro man hasn't
(09:07):
come and picked up that memorabilia.If he's trying to sell it back,
well, I definitely would be tryingto sell it back. I would have
been selling it as soon as Ifigured out that they were hot on my
trail because they caught me doing somethingI wasn't supposed to be doing. Well.
There is today Salty Shakedown. FormerJaguars employee sentenced to six years in
prison for stealing over twenty two milliondollars from the organization. Isaiah Thomas is
(09:31):
once again coming after Magic Johnson,Michael Jordan, Michael Jordan, the other
MJ's and wants he wants an apologyon international television, he says, and
