Speaker 1 (00:03):
You are familiar with in game promotions that events correct, Yes,
and one that has become popular is the tic tac
toe game. So you have the tic tac toe game
at center court, and you have a bunch of o's
and x'es there, and so, okay, you start at center court,
you dribble in and you make a layup, and then
(00:24):
you run.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
Back and you put an O RONX.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
Okay, and then then you go to this thing and
you have another guy on the other end doing the
same thing. And so you're going back and forth with
this competition, and whoever gets the tic tac toe first
wins and if somehow you end up tying, which is
what Tiktacte usually does. Anyway, it's usually a speed contest
(00:46):
who can make the basket first, because if you can
get ahead of the other guy, then you're going to win. Well,
the Atlanta Hawks did this the other night, as every
team does, and a lot of college teams do, and
the guy doing it was going at breaknext speed trying
to win and tour an acl.
Speaker 3 (01:02):
Ooh ah man, I'm not I'm not sure that there
was insurance for that.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
If if I'm the uh, you remember the eleven year
old who got the Paul skiings card thing, yes, and
then wound up auction in it for like a lot
of money. If I'm that dude, if I'm the Atlanta
Hawks PR team, I'm like, hey, uh, we'll give you
a season tickets next year, and uh, they'll actually be really.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
Good seats, and no, you can't sue us. And here's
an nda that this never happened.
Speaker 3 (01:39):
We'll give you a parking pass you can have upfront parking. Uh. Yeah,
please don't sue us, because I'm wondering. I'm wondering if,
if when you do those, especially when their fit actual
physicalness is required, if they sign any type of waiver,
because if there's no waiver signed or or it's has on.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
The ticket or so, maybe there's something that says, I
don't know how they picked those. I've never been a
part of that, but my guess would be, you agree
to remember when they used to do the the sling
shot with the person on the sled and he was
wearing it to do the bowling pins. Oh yes, and
they had the helmet on them. Yeah, so I would
imagine they you agree to do this contest for a
(02:23):
prize and if you get hurt too bad, it's on you.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
Well.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
Hey, and a even a really bad lawyer would be like,
but is it signed in black and white?
Speaker 2 (02:33):
Is it on paper somewhere?
Speaker 1 (02:34):
I think you have to I think you have to
sign something, but I'm not sure what it is. I've
never been inclined to want to do that.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
Wow. I mean, all I can say is if if
I'm a lawyer somewhere in the Atlanta area, I'm sure
there's more call of I'm getting that dude's number and saying, hey,
would you like some representation?
Speaker 2 (02:53):
Yes, that's already happened exactly.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
I mean, what the Minnesota Timberwolves are going to sell
for one point six billion?
Speaker 2 (03:00):
How would you like to have ten of the Atlanta Hawks, sir.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
I'll take five, I'll take one.
Speaker 3 (03:07):
I'll take I'll take one, and we're trading Trey Young
and a lot of our picks to the San Antonio Spurs.
There you go, and we'll take on a dishwasher in return.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
It's kind of surprisingly this hasn't happened before because ACL
injuries are typically cutting and cutting.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
Injuries there's no contact involved in them. Usually.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
Yeah, and so you you step on the brakes and
everything goes, but the knee keeps going and the acl pops.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
Well, I'm wondering as well, is because you see at
times guys will you know, wipe their shoes because it
builds up the dust and stuff like that. I'm wondering
if maybe either the the the broom guy didn't wipe
right there, if there was a sweat a sweat spot.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
I think I don't know that he did or not.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
But anytime, you're a lot of times you get really
good athletes that are participating in these games. It's it's
not you know, two random people from the stands. But
then maybe you do how good a shape are they in?
Do they do?
Speaker 2 (04:11):
They do physical exertion from time to time.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
Yeah, well that's I mean, that's the thing too. But
uh yeah, that's that's unfortunate. It's very unfortunate. If you
go watch the video, which I saw it last night.
The first thing I actually saw I didn't notice until
I rewatched it. I thought that the dude was like
knocked himself out because he hit the ground like straight
(04:34):
back and the head hit the floor, and I was like, oh,
that dude just probably just knocked himself out. And then
I saw him reach for the knee, and I was like, oh,
that's even worse.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
ACL.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
Yeah, how would you like to try to explain that
to your work? Yeah, I'm gona miss work tomorrow. Well
I thought you were in the game last night. Yeah,
I did that to say were you playing. No, they
didn't put me in the game. They put me in
a promotion.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
But I don't know what the prizes are. I mean,
what do you when when the Spurs do that? I
guess they still do that.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (05:05):
I mean, I know what a burger for a year,
they die waterburger for a year. I think they still
do the they might do what was it when they
dropped the HTB balloons?
Speaker 1 (05:14):
You know, and you try to Here's the thing that
makes the I find just fascinating about promotions in sports. Typically,
if you go to an NBA game anywhere in the
lower bowl of a stadium, you're talking tickets that have
three digits beside them before you get you know, they're
one hundred plus in the lower bowl, and the person
(05:36):
that just dropped six hundred dollars for tickets and another
two hundred the concession stand will literally kill you for
a ten cent T shirt shot from the T shirt.
Can That's right, mane canon? How we roll thet O picks?
Coming up next on the Tickets
