Speaker 1 (00:01):
Amadou, amadou, and great Andrew will be joining us
real soon.
He will be stepping into theframe here, but first and
foremost as you can see, thegreen, white and blue shots out
to the Sierra Leone people, andalso, it is holiday season on
the planet.
It's holiday season all aroundthe world.
But home base guys, the JC'sare there, they've landed.
(00:24):
Don't worry, though.
You have 11 months with thegirl.
The JC only has one month withthe girl.
Maybe give or take some, sodon't worry about none of that.
She's all yours.
The moment they got it said,her money goes away, so the both
of you can enjoy Two times,three times as much.
There isn't much more to sayabout that.
(00:45):
Huh, let's go, let's get on theshow.
Man, let's get on the show.
So some of the topics we'll begetting into today we got Shohei
Otani's contract, making themthe richest athlete out there
based upon contracts alone.
We got Janice and the issuewith the ball.
(01:06):
We got Draymond Green and hisongoing issues with the
authority, and then we got CamNewton speaking his piece, and
it's the holiday season.
There's a number of things thatspike up during the holiday
season.
Of course, there's the spiritof giving, but there's also the
spirit of taking, and we'llspeak more on that later on in
(01:27):
the show.
But let's get going, andrew.
What's up, man?
How's it hanging?
How's life treating you?
Life is good.
Life is good.
I love it.
That's what's up, man.
Love it.
What are some of the topicsthat are going to?
What are some of the topics?
What are some of the thingsthat have been going on in your
life or that have been, thathave gotten national attention,
(01:49):
that are tickling your fancy?
Speaker 2 (01:51):
Well, the show had a tiny number one.
Okay, I love that.
And then what else we got wellin the news media it's the
Cancer DeChise lost to theBuffalo Bills.
And how they Lost with thatgreat play by Travis Kelsey and
got neglected because of the offsides by K Darius Tone KT.
(02:12):
Yeah, a very fast receiverAlways seems to get open.
He's not fast, he's twitchy?
Speaker 1 (02:19):
Okay.
Well, very twitchy, none of us.
He could beat you inside aphone booth, okay.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
What else other than that?
And then the NBA tournament wasgoing on.
We like, we just won that, yeah.
And they're going to be hangingup a banner their next home
game on the 18th of December.
And people are upset about thatbecause they have 17
championship banners and theysay, hey man, we don't need
(02:47):
conference title banners, youdon't need division banners, you
don't need this stuff.
But the Lakers won't do it.
It's stupid.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
They won a championship, they worked as
hard for it as they would have.
I mean, it's a one and donekind of tournament, but yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
It was like a four game in season tournament.
It's great.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
They won it.
They played the hardest, theywanted it the most and everybody
got $500,000 bonus.
They wanted it the most.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
I don't believe this.
They wanted it more than theydid.
I never liked when they said it.
It's like when you go to theSuper Bowl.
Well, they wanted it more thanyou did.
I really didn't.
It just happened to get somebreaks and someone made a couple
plays more and they won thegame.
They wanted it more than youShut up.
Nah, they don't do that.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
All right, andrew, between you and I.
I played sports.
You played sports, notorganized.
I played organized sports.
Yes, it does come down to whowants it more.
Because you're willing to trythat much more, You're willing
to sell out that much more.
Yes, you get some breaks thatland your way, but you're
willing to sell out that muchmore because you want it more.
You're willing to battle more.
You're willing to fight harder,because where it seems like
(03:49):
they've stopped you, you bustthrough another one.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
Okay, but it's almost like like a basketball game.
Sometimes this comes down todid the shot go in or not?
It doesn't mean you wanted itmore, that shot just happened to
go in.
Okay, let me say you playedharder than I did.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
No, no, no, no.
Let me say this you could playharder, but you also have to
have skill.
So the team that has the mostskill in that wanted it more.
It usually wins.
You go back to the one more.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
I don't think so.
I would agree with that when itgets to like did you make the
playoffs?
You know they didn't seem likethey wanted it.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
And the NBA when they play for the championship games
.
It's a series like a seven gameseries.
And the one and done.
It's literally who wants itmore in a seven game series it
doesn't matter.
You can have some lucky bouncesbut at the end of the day the
best team wins In a seven gameseries.
In a seven game series, thebest team wins Because you could
be lucky and have all the luckybreaks and you could want it
(04:44):
more.
But if you're not good in aseven game series, you just
can't do it.
But in a one and done situation, if you want it more and you're
better and you get all thebreaks, more power to you.
But if you want it more and youdon't get all the breaks and
you're not as good, then don'twin it.
So that's where I'm coming from, that's it.
So shot to my brother, thebrother of the J.
(05:06):
We outside maybe come put thatbanner up.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
I do, no, I don't.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
I like LeBron James, but come on, let's put that
banner up, baby.
He has one more championshipthat Michael Jordan doesn't got.
You heard we outside Anyhow, myblood was boiling a little bit
there Just have to get that out.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
I'm sure there was an in season tournament, jordan to
want to want a couple of thoseMaybe.
Possibly, but the NBA at thattime didn't need an in season
tournament because peoplewatched the NBA in December and
in February or, I'm sure, inNovember.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
Did they though?
Yeah, the number said so.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
Yeah, it was very popular.
I mean, that was one of thefavorite things is, when the NBA
schedule came on, I wouldcircle all the home heat games
that I would hopefully, godwilling, could go to, and, and
times of change and the wholeworld is yeah, because nobody
cares.
It's amazing that I'm gettingmore money today than it did
then, yep, but yet people seemto really kind of almost care
(06:04):
less about the NBA as it didback then.
The NBA was so popular in the90s it really was.
In the 90s it was absolutely sopopular and it was primarily
dominated by one team.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
Well, you could be right, or it could just be
nostalgia, because when you tellstories, that's sure I and
looking back at them becausethere's some commercials like
the Mentos commercial.
It doesn't matter what comesfresh goes better With Mentos,
fresh and full.
That commercial.
Good job, memory, thatcommercial.
Yeah, I love that commercial.
Do you really Nostalgia?
Wow, I'm like, oh, it's thegreatest commercial ever.
It takes me back.
Good job, okay.
(06:40):
So with that in mind, it couldjust be you and nostalgia.
Maybe people did really lovethe NBA that much.
The skill wasn't the best.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
NBA Inside Stuff with a Bob and Sean Willow Bay that
was my.
It was better than all thedecided morning cartoons.
Watch the little save by thebell and things like that.
12 o'clock NBA Inside Stuff,that was my favorite show.
That's 1992.
Oh my gosh.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
I mean that's great.
I loved it.
I'd ask you.
Great that you could look backon it in such fun.
Love it, Love and light.
It's great.
So we're going to go on totoday's topic.
We got two topics basketballrelated.
We got Yanis and Tatecumpo outhere getting these points.
We got Dre Montgrain out hereslapping dudes because he thinks
he's all with all the smoke.
He's now with all the smoke.
Dre Montgrain, it was a longtime coming.
(07:27):
You kick LeBron James in theballs.
You deserve to be suspendedindefinitely.
But you weren't suspendedindefinitely because of what's
the playoffs?
Everybody's crying about it.
Nobody cares.
Dre Montgrain, it's a long timecoming.
You kick LeBron James in theballs.
You choked that guy.
What's his name?
The French guy?
I forgot the team.
He recently choked him, Gotfive games for that and now
(07:50):
finally, he slaps Youssef Nerkic.
Oh, pardon me, it's an accident.
No, bro, you meant to do thatand you deserve to be suspended
indefinitely because you're outhere.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
Not being a sportsman at all, you got Subonis' chest
and the playoffs against theKings he stomped on Subonis'
chest, stomped on him.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
You got oh my bad mistake, dre Montgrain.
Man, you kept doing foolishthings.
You kept he's a person thatplays stupid games and doesn't
hope to win the stupid prizes.
But now you've won a stupidprize.
You have a contract you justrecently got signed oh, a lot of
money.
They're paying them at thesuperstar.
They're going to have to takesome of that money back.
Bro, you snooze, you lose babyKyle and Kyle heard you keep
(08:34):
fighting for Dre Montgrain.
Dre Montgrain keeps doing goofythings because he works for the
volume.
You keep oh yeah, dre Montgrain, baby, baby, baby.
No, dre Montgrain's an idiot.
You go there, you play the game.
Sportsmanship counts.
Stop kicking people.
Stop stomping on people.
Stop hitting people in the face.
It's a game of basketball.
Play by the rules.
There's no need for you to bethe bully.
(08:55):
Sure, it doesn't call for that.
Play the game.
Not necessary For you to getsuspended indefinitely.
You deserve that.
It was a long time coming.
What?
Speaker 2 (09:03):
was his suspension, Do they?
Speaker 1 (09:05):
indefinitely.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
I know it's indefinitely, but they deserve
it.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
That just means they haven't made a decision yet, but
hopefully they don't make adecision to like five years from
now, put them on the bench.
If you truly love basketball,you will truly regret all the
decisions you made to likepeople.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
It's interesting to see if somebody actually like
one day he just starts somethingwith the wrong guy and the
wrong guy just, absolutely justbeats the living crap out of him
on the basketball floor.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
The wrong guys are no longer in the game of
basketball.
Dre Montgrain is one of thetough guys down in basketball.
You don't have a Kevin Garnettin there.
Imagine Dre Montgrain startingstuff with Kevin Garnett.
Imagine that that would be somesmoke.
Or Stephen Jackson?
I'm saying like oh StephenJackson.
Or Meta World Peace.
(09:53):
Imagine that, dre.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
Montgrain, I have to go back to the run-out test
because Meta World Peace wouldbring peace.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
Nah, meta, world Peace will probably be with all
the smoke too.
Or you thought this was a game?
Nah, dre Montgrain.
Nah, I'm with it.
I'm with it today.
It's over for you.
That would be crazy.
Kevin Garnett, stephen Jackson,ryan Arthas he's a very
insightful guy.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
I mean Dre Montgrain.
He listens to his podcasts andstuff.
He's very well thought out, soshe's just so incredible that he
always seems to find himself inthese situations.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
He doesn't have skill , so he resorts to violence.
If you have skill, play thegame play the game.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
You just play defense .
All you have to do is playdefense.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
No, he plays defense and decides I want to slap
people in the face, I want tokick people in the nuts.
Don't do that.
It's not the game.
Play the damn game.
That's my frustration.
I've played sports.
No, not at that level that DreMontgrain played, not even
nearly close.
But when people poke, you playthe game.
Show them that you can play.
That's how you get back at them, slapping them, kicking them,
(10:57):
punching them.
It's not how you show that yo,I got skill, because if you show
me you're better than me, itshuts me up.
What the hell am I going to do?
What the hell am I going to do?
You show me that I can't guardyou.
All right, cool, I need to shutit up and maybe work on my game
more.
Next time I come, maybe put upmy bet.
Next time I come, maybe put mybest foot forward against you.
(11:18):
Not next time I come, I need tomaybe get some brass knuckles,
just in case.
That's not the game ofbasketball.
Yeah, it's a physical game.
Sure, it's one-on-one and youhave to get physical with people
.
Stop hitting people.
It's not the game.
Show them that you're betterthan them.
Show them on your skill.
Dribble to the basketball court.
Dribble to the hoop, man, letthat thing hang, boy, hammer it
(11:40):
down.
You feel me?
Or maybe even I refer, maybestart stuff with Dennis Rodman.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
Oh, I tell you, there was a lot of just awesome tough
basketball players, Maybe evenSajig in the 90s and there in
the 2000s, Even Kobe.
Kobe was just, he was ruthless.
Kobe has everything.
I don't want to address him.
I don't want to address him.
He was six foot.
I'm like I'll have about 150,160 pounds.
(12:09):
I mean, how many times does hetry to fight him?
Wow.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
That's because I don't want to address him.
Invade him with a skill oh yeah, he's so good and then they
didn't like that so much.
He made everybody.
He put everybody on skates.
He did so they didn't like that, he did.
But speaking of tough guys, wegot Yana Santin to Kumpo, the
freight train of NBA.
He's big, strong and fast andmoves like a freaking.
Wow, get out of the way If youstay in front of him.
(12:36):
Don't do that.
You don't want that.
But what's going on with theGreek freak Angel?
Speaker 2 (12:41):
He scored that 64 points because he did it in a
paper.
He paced his game the othernight in Milwaukee and wanted
the basketball, butunfortunately as soon as the
game ended, the paces ran offwith it.
Why?
Speaker 1 (12:52):
did.
The paces ran off with it.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
One of their teammates scored a couple points
His first ever points in an NBAgame and they wanted to give
him the ball.
He scored two points.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
I don't know if those two points no, no, no.
If he was in basketball it wastwo Right, I don't know what he
ended the night with.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
I'm just saying he scored his first points of his
NBA career that night and theytook the ball to give to him.
Even the Yonahs on this nighthappens to score 64.
I know what that says, which isa franchise record.
Nobody in Milwaukee history hasever done that.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
Yonahs just needs to do that again so he can take the
game ball home this time.
Oh my God, that's all he needsto do.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
If I was that pace I'd be like you can have the
ball, bro.
You scored 64,.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
That's all.
They both want the ball.
It's a memorabilia that youcould if that player that scored
his first point in the NBA inthe NBA game.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
Yeah, I scored my first points in the night that
Yonah scored 64.
No, not the ball.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
Let's say that's a highlight of his life.
Or maybe he becomes a superstar.
This is the beginning of hisNBA career and this cements his
legacy.
Moving forward Cements hislegacy.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
Yeah, his legacy and his mind Do these soft talk
about their legacies all thetime.
I was left like people 100years from now are gonna look at
them and be like, wow, amazing,they come on.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
You may not look at them like wow, but remember the
nostalgia when you tell a storyfor the third time, for the 10th
time, 20 years down the road.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
No one's gonna talk about his two points that he
scored that night in the mall.
It's a great story.
You may not, but he will.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
Him and his family.
There you go.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
No, it's a beautiful thing, but I'm just saying he
scored 64, give it to him.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
Yonah scored 64,.
This guy scored two points.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
Oh man, give you back Karma.
If you're an Indian softfashion, give it to the man.
Give him his flowers.
Yonah's, do it again.
That's what it's.
That's what it's.
64 points, that's so easy.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
Well, that's Yonah's yes, he can do it again, all
right, if he can't do it again,it wasn't meant to be.
Oh, stop.
Yonah said it's a kumpo, theGreek freak, aka the Nigerian
nightmare on another universe,cause you have Nigerian ancestry
, you know, of course.
But let's keep it moving.
(15:01):
Chug-a-chug-a-chug-a.
So there's two stories here,right?
Shohei Ohtani gets spade themost.
Yes, three things going on here.
Shohei Ohtani gets spade themost, but defers his money.
Yes, 10 years down the line.
Okay, it's really like a 20year contract.
Okay, bobby Bonilla gets hismoney from the New York New York
(15:23):
Mets, defers it down the line.
So he gets, he gets spade abillion dollars every June, july
1st, or something like that.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
I mean, you know what I'm saying?
Yep, he goes to like what.
I think it's so 2035.
So it's played in 2000.
Speaker 1 (15:35):
So long after Shohei Ohtani retires and probably goes
back to Japan, does whatever hedoes, he'll still be getting
paid, but Shohei Ohtani gettingpaid that much?
Shohei Ohtani wouldn't havebeen the athlete to get paid the
most.
You know who would have beenLionel Messi going to the Saudi
Arabia League, the Saudi League.
They were willing to pay him abillion dollars.
(15:58):
That's true, 400 million,almost a billion dollars, 400
million a year for him to playin the Saudi League.
He turned that down to come toAmerica.
He played for Miami and playedfor Inter Miami.
I'm out here in Miami.
What's up?
Sexy rad Looking like youngthug.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
That's when you get to a point when you make so much
money and you're so famous andsomeone says I'll give you a
billion dollars, and then youjust stick to yourself.
What do you do with a billiondollars?
I don't need a billion dollars.
I want to go have some fun.
I'm going to go to Miami.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
It's not that Messi doesn't need it.
Messi doesn't need it.
Okay, go ahead.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
Hear me out.
Speaker 1 (16:38):
Messi's contract with America will be far more
lucrative in the sense thathe'll be in American culture
moving forward forever, Causeafter he's done he could be part
owner of a team.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
He could buy his own team with a billion dollars.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
He could.
But will the Americans let himbuy a team?
Why wouldn't they?
He's Messi.
He's the greatest of all time.
Yeah, but Messi's valuable as aplayer.
Messi is the owner.
It's like Michael Jordan is theowner and as Michael Jordan is
the owner, does he have a goodteam?
Speaker 2 (17:07):
No, Exactly Okay.
Do a lot of owners who didn'tplay sports have a good team?
No, they suck Well.
Speaker 1 (17:14):
No, those other owners cut their teeth doing
something else.
Speaker 2 (17:17):
Messi represents, but as an owner they suck, they're
horrible at being owners.
How many NFL owners are reallythat good?
Just seeing garbage teams thathave to draft first, you know,
in the top five, top 10 picksevery single year, except for
this year all the NFL teams arekind of like in categories.
Speaker 1 (17:34):
You've got a bunch of seven and six, seven and five
teams, you've got a bunch ofeight and four teams Got a bunch
of 10, and you got like westill got four weeks left.
You got one 10 and three teamsGot a couple of 10 and three
teams Got a couple of nine andnine and four teams out there.
So then the fellow teams are inwhatever, but Lionel Messi not
only does he get money from histeam that signed him, he's
(17:57):
getting money from Adidas, he'sgetting money from Apple, and
that's what I know so far,because every time there's a new
subscription for MLS, messigets paid to Apple, every time
there's a purchase, and it won'tcome to a billion dollars.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
That's a forever.
Nobody watches MLS that muchhere in this country.
It's not the Premier.
Speaker 1 (18:18):
League.
No people have eyeballs.
There's new eyeballs that camein to watch MLS because of Messi
, they never missed that muchmoney.
Soccer is international, sowhether or not American teams
watch, whether or not Americanaudiences watch, just oversee
the audience.
They want to watch Messi play.
(18:38):
That's subscribe, and thosesubscriptions may go up and
he'll get money from thatsubscription as well, and then
he'll get money from Adidas.
Probably that's a lifetimecontract.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
Whatever they sell.
That's what I'm saying.
He's making enough.
He's making a lot of money tothis.
So when you offer him a billiondollars, you could say I don't
want to play, I'd rather justcome to the United States to get
paid last month.
That's like an athlete whotakes a pay cut to say on a team
that's going to be a winnerBecause he goes.
I'd rather get paid less andenjoy my career winning than get
(19:11):
paid so much money and justlose.
So that's what I respect abouthim.
He really just wants to enjoyhis life.
He's been so successful andhe's like I don't need a billion
dollars.
Speaker 1 (19:24):
He's wanted at every level.
Speaker 2 (19:25):
I don't need a billion dollars.
I mean, I want to enjoy therest of my 30s.
I want to have some fun.
Live in Miami Obviously veryhigh Hispanic culture down there
.
Yeah, you can hang out.
Have fun, man.
Yeah, yeah, no, that's, that'sgood.
That's good.
It's the boss I will be hangson my for a couple more years.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
Well, I believe you hang out for a couple more years
and then you'll own an MLS teamand an expansion team expansion
, mls expands faster than anyfranchise or any league.
Speaker 2 (20:01):
I've ever known how many teams they have in the
league.
Now I don't know so manyfreaking teams.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
Well, maybe because they have more teams coming in
there, go ahead.
Maybe because it's going sofast?
Speaker 2 (20:11):
I mean, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
No, you don't see it because you're not in that you
know realm.
You're not paying attention tothem.
But maybe MLS is growing.
The audience is growing at sucha fast rate.
But there's a reason why theaudience may be going to such a
fast rate.
There's a bunch of foreignerscoming in via Mexico, so I mean
that's going to be the majorityof the MLS population.
(20:32):
Games are, games are packedwhen Portland, portland, when
the Portland team plays, thegames are packed.
Portland timbers, I believe.
Games are packed.
New York and New York has twoteams.
Ok, go ahead, the Red Bulls andNew York City FC.
Right, when they play, theyboth play to packed house.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
So they draw.
They have twenty nine currentclubs in the MLS.
Twenty nine Well, the thirtytwo seems to be the magic number
.
What the NFL has?
Thirty two teams now.
I think the NBA is trying tothirty two Hawk, I think hockey
is a good number, baseballwatching thirty two.
Thirty two seems to be whereeveryone wants to be right now.
The league does plan to expandto thirty teams in two thousand
(21:15):
twenty five for the debut of SanDiego.
So that'll be the thirtiethteam and then it'll expand, and
then it may expand to thirty twoteams at a later date.
So no really official otherteams other than San Diego.
Oh, ok, ok.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
Well, let's get back to this incredible, let's get
back to show a little tiny inthe baseball world.
Yes, so Shohei Otani offeredseven hundred million dollars
over ten years.
Yes, that dwarfs the nextclosest contract in America
which was that much else?
I know that football playerforty five mil, patrick Mahomes.
(21:49):
He, he dwarfs it by threehundred to four hundred million.
That's how awesome of acontract.
He asked.
Yeah, because Patrick Mahomes'contract initially was like five
hundred million or so for liketwelve years, but Shohei Otani's
contract dominates it, up anddown left and right and Shohei
Otani will become the firstbillionaire.
(22:11):
Well, just do contract moneyalone will be a billionaire,
like one of the firstbillionaire athletes.
Like who I played a sport?
They pay me.
Ok, yeah, instead of not justnot endorsements or extra or
whatever curricular activitiesgoing on or investments.
Just like I played a sport,they signed me.
They signed a contract to giveme the money, which is great for
him and great for a future.
(22:33):
What's it called?
Baseball starts coming up to.
Let it be known that there'smoney in the sport, because in
our reality not too many peoplewatch baseball, but somehow
they're making the money andthey're able to give it away
just as fast as they're makingit.
So kids out there, baseball isa sport to go play.
If you're talented enough likeShohei Otani, all good you money
.
You could easily ask allguaranteed money.
(22:54):
Seventy million dollars a yearAll guaranteed money.
Once he starts making it, andthe awesome thing about that is
taxes will be deferred.
So he may not have to, is itthat's what I hear?
He may not have to pay.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
So if you lose the Florida when he starts getting
paid that money.
He won't be.
He will get paid the state yeah.
Speaker 1 (23:15):
You get, you get you, and that is money fully Go
ahead.
Yeah, so that's that for that.
But let's revert back to thefootball world.
Got my boy Cameron CameronNewton.
He made a comment about gamechange, game managers, yes, and
then later on he had to explainhimself thoroughly about what he
meant by that.
But before that they werekilling him in media, killing
(23:39):
him Like how dare you say that?
But a few guys out there lookat it.
Cam Newton has a resume to talkthat talk about football
players.
He does.
He's won an MVP, he's gone toSuper Bowl.
He's won a work here to year.
He's led the league intouchdowns, he's made pro bowls.
He's been an all pro player.
So if he doesn't have the rightto speak what he said, who does
(24:02):
?
Who does?
Who in Stephen A Smith's world?
Does who in that guy anundisputed does?
They don't Let everybody talk.
Everybody can talk how they're.
No, no, he has a resume to backup what he's saying.
He played.
Speaker 2 (24:16):
Yeah, people can play and disagree with me.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
No, they could disagree with them, but to talk
down to them as if, like bro ohman, they should never talk down
.
Speaker 2 (24:24):
They should talk down , just man.
Man, that's what you think.
Speaker 1 (24:27):
How dare you spit such venomous crap?
It's just like one time Bradysaid, uh, the sports soft
nowadays, nobody jumped at him,but our time Brady's a goat.
So yeah, whatever he says, it'swhatever.
It's not the sports softer nowbecause you know, uh, slot
receivers are not getting theirhead knocked off when they go in
the middle, cause you knowthey're being protected.
(24:48):
You can't hit a defense lessplayer.
So gear cam Newton, the leewaycam Newton's a latter part of
his career.
You know it was crappy due tothe fact that he got into a bad
situations that he shouldn'thave gotten into.
He got into the Patriots justlike weeks before the season
started.
He went back to the Panthersthe season ago.
He started and then theyinserted him in.
(25:09):
It was just, he was justpositioned for failure.
He wasn't going to succeed.
He didn't have a whole offseason to learn the system and
go ahead out there and show out.
He didn't.
He was just going to be on athis day.
Oh, you could get to play yournext game.
You're set up for failure.
You're not going to succeed.
The people that he calls gamemanagers end up in correct
situations.
Rock Perti, that is the bestsituation Rock Perti could have
(25:32):
ended up in.
Matt Jones could have been inthat situation.
Matt Jones could haveflourished.
No-transcript.
Uh, shanahan, shanahan, kyle.
Shanahan is a tremendous coachand some way somehow he makes it
work with every quarterback.
Jimmy Garoppolo did great inShanahan system.
Matt Ryan did great in Shanahansystem.
Robert Griffin, the third, didwell in Shanahan system, won a
(25:53):
look year to year when he wasdown in Washington Cause
Shanahan was, uh, I believe,offensive coordinator or, uh,
you know, quality, offensive,quality controls coach or
something like that.
He was in there though he had aninput.
So every quarterback that'splayed in Shanahan system has
excelled.
He found out, he finds a way tomake it work for them.
But had Brock Perti ended upwith the New England, with uh,
(26:14):
uh, uh, dorators, or with, uh,san Diego, any of those other
teams he would have, he wouldn'thave been he's, he wouldn't be
what he is when Brock BrockPerti's worst games were when he
didn't have Dibo, he didn'thave Christian McCaffrey, he
didn't have Trent Williams.
So, yes, brock Perti ended upin the right situation, but he's
(26:36):
a game manager in the sensethat if he doesn't have all the
species that compliment him,Okay so he doesn't, he doesn't
win.
Speaker 2 (26:42):
Okay, so was uh, joe Montana a game manager.
He's an upper echelon gamemanager.
He's an upper echelon game.
Speaker 1 (26:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (26:49):
So if he didn't have Jerry Rice or Roger Craig on the
team uh, the greatest receiverever in, jerry Rice.
So I mean, if he, if JoeMontana was drafted by the
Indianapolis Colts a differentcareer.
Speaker 1 (27:04):
It's great, it is awesome for you to be drafted in
the culture that fits you.
That fits you and that you canmeld it well.
Most quarterbacks don't getthat opportunity.
You go to the worst team in theroster and if you go to the
worst team in the league and ifyou go to the worst team in the
league, they're trying to buildaround you.
When you come, they don'talready have a team set in place
to like, hey, here you go, thisis your team, just drive.
(27:26):
Just do what you need to do.
Do your part.
You don't need to do everybodyelse's part.
Just do your part and you willsucceed.
Rock Perti just have to passand do his part to succeed.
And if, uh, trent Williams isnot in the game, debo Samuel is
not in the game, he doesn't havesuccess.
It's been shown.
And who else did he talk about?
That press guy?
That press guy maybe more of anot liar, though, because I mean
(27:48):
that press guy went to theCowboy.
No, no, he, that press guy,came into the cowboy in a pretty
decent situation.
They drafted, uh, the guy fromOhio State there, zeke.
They drafted Zeke.
Running game was awesome.
Offensive line, the greatestthat I mean number one offensive
line and league.
So Jack press guy didn't haveto drop back and throw 40 times
(28:09):
a game, 50 times a game.
He threw maybe 20 times a gameand Zeke was running fresh,
fresh out of college just likehitting the stride, and that
press guy to rookie year 13 andthree.
So Cam Newton has points there.
It has some points into whathe's talking about.
It makes sense.
It makes sense because when Daklast year didn't have the team
(28:30):
that you know that he shouldhave, he kind of shit the butt.
He had like 15 to 20interceptions on the year and
it's such an interception ratiowasn't the greatest.
So if Cam doesn't have theright to speak on that situation
, I don't know who does.
Speaker 2 (28:46):
I like.
I like anything Cam has to say,whether you agree with it or
not.
It's interesting.
He's enthusiastic, he putsthought behind it.
Why not?
Why not?
Everyone flips out over it, sowhat?
Speaker 1 (28:58):
Well, it's been a quiet season-ish, kind of
besides Dream on Green's drama.
So this isn't too much drama inNFL.
There's a lot of backups, sure,but there's not too much drama,
like you know.
Players getting cut, receiversacting out like Divas.
So Cam says something, do we?
Speaker 2 (29:14):
need.
Do we need the drama to make itinteresting?
Speaker 1 (29:17):
Yeah, we need.
Yes, we do, we do, we do, weabsolutely do.
Human nature calls for drama.
Why I don't?
Speaker 2 (29:24):
know what's wrong with everybody.
And then if you talk toeverybody, they're just like God
.
I hate drama, Right, oh man.
We hate it, but when it comes Igo on a date with anybody and
just be like God, you don't justhate drama, Like, yeah, me too.
Speaker 1 (29:37):
And drama comes in this?
Speaker 2 (29:39):
No, no, no, no, it's just people love it.
Speaker 1 (29:42):
Uh-oh Well, to end this topic, though, to end all
everything in this episode,today we got.
It's a holiday season, allright, and if it's a holiday
season, it's a time for givingand time for receiving.
And uh, scammers out theretrying to receive from me.
You keep that in mind.
They're out there trying toreceive from you.
I've been scammed, I've beenscammed and I've been taken
(30:06):
advantage of that's.
I mean.
I'll tell those stories at alater date, but just be on the
lookout, people.
If you are calling customerservice, they're asking you to
give them gift cards.
They're asking you to gopurchase gift cards.
Don't do it.
It's a scam.
If you're calling customerservice and you missed one
number number of that company'sa 1-800 number.
It's a scammer you're getting,you're meeting up with If you
(30:28):
miss one number.
If you miss, if you're onenumber off like a phone call
you're making a phone call andyou're one number off like Apple
care it takes you to a scammer.
So they pay attention to that.
They pay attention to all thoselittle details to snatch you up
and lock you up.
So pay attention.
It's a holiday season, it's aseason for giving and receiving,
but do not be the one to getGod.
(30:48):
If it looks too good to be true, it is too good to be true.
That's so everything about life.
So don't go out there and belike, yeah, man, I got it like
that.
You don't.
A scam is out there to get you.
They don't mean, I mean,they're not doing it out of ill
will, they're doing it tosurvive, but it hurts you when
(31:09):
they survive.
So it's a double-edged swordand, by the way, you either.
It's a double-edged sword.
You like to support some ofthese people and help them out,
but you don't know them, so youdon't have no connection to them
.
But they want to make their.
I mean, they want to receivetheir holiday gifts and if it
comes out of your pocket, so beit.
They don't know you either.
They could care less Time forgiving, time for receiving
(31:31):
scammers or will or Scammers areramping up to receive.
So if you call a 180 money 800number and they're like, go buy
some gift cards, don't saynothing to nobody.
And it looks like nothing.
No, don't say nothing to nobody.
And it's sketchy, it's crazy.
Keep that in mind.
There's a reason why it'ssketchy, all right.
There's a reason why it's toogood to be true.
(31:52):
And if you're on craigslist andyou know what craigslist is,
they're gonna put a whole bunchof listings out there that look
too good to be true and they'lltell you send us the money.
Or even if you're sellingsomething, they'll be like oh,
we'll send you the money,they'll send you the money, you
can ship it to them, but it isnot real.
They're fake checks that theysend you.
Make sure you go to your localbank and check it out first
before you Send whatever you'regonna send, because you'll have,
(32:15):
you'll end up having to pay forthat scam and you pay dearly
and you won't want that.
So keep that in mind.
Man, this is my holiday gift toyou guys.

(00:45):
Huh, let's go, let's get on theshow.
Man, let's get on the show.
So some of the topics we'll begetting into today we got Shohei
Otani's contract, making themthe richest athlete out there
based upon contracts alone.
We got Janice and the issuewith the ball.
(01:06):
We got Draymond Green and hisongoing issues with the
authority, and then we got CamNewton speaking his piece, and
it's the holiday season.
There's a number of things thatspike up during the holiday
season.
Of course, there's the spiritof giving, but there's also the
spirit of taking, and we'llspeak more on that later on in
(01:27):
the show.
But let's get going, andrew.
What's up, man?
How's it hanging?
How's life treating you?
Life is good.
Life is good.
I love it.
That's what's up, man.
Love it.
What are some of the topicsthat are going to?
What are some of the topics?
What are some of the thingsthat have been going on in your
life or that have been, thathave gotten national attention,
(01:49):
that are tickling your fancy?
Speaker 2 (01:51):
Well, the show had a tiny number one.
Okay, I love that.
And then what else we got wellin the news media it's the
Cancer DeChise lost to theBuffalo Bills.
And how they Lost with thatgreat play by Travis Kelsey and
got neglected because of the offsides by K Darius Tone KT.
(02:12):
Yeah, a very fast receiverAlways seems to get open.
He's not fast, he's twitchy?
Speaker 1 (02:19):
Okay.
Well, very twitchy, none of us.
He could beat you inside aphone booth, okay.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
What else other than that?
And then the NBA tournament wasgoing on.
We like, we just won that, yeah.
And they're going to be hangingup a banner their next home
game on the 18th of December.
And people are upset about thatbecause they have 17
championship banners and theysay, hey man, we don't need
(02:47):
conference title banners, youdon't need division banners, you
don't need this stuff.
But the Lakers won't do it.
It's stupid.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
They won a championship, they worked as
hard for it as they would have.
I mean, it's a one and donekind of tournament, but yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
It was like a four game in season tournament.
It's great.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
They won it.
They played the hardest, theywanted it the most and everybody
got $500,000 bonus.
They wanted it the most.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
I don't believe this.
They wanted it more than theydid.
I never liked when they said it.
It's like when you go to theSuper Bowl.
Well, they wanted it more thanyou did.
I really didn't.
It just happened to get somebreaks and someone made a couple
plays more and they won thegame.
They wanted it more than youShut up.
Nah, they don't do that.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
All right, andrew, between you and I.
I played sports.
You played sports, notorganized.
I played organized sports.
Yes, it does come down to whowants it more.
Because you're willing to trythat much more, You're willing
to sell out that much more.
Yes, you get some breaks thatland your way, but you're
willing to sell out that muchmore because you want it more.
You're willing to battle more.
You're willing to fight harder,because where it seems like
(03:49):
they've stopped you, you bustthrough another one.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
Okay, but it's almost like like a basketball game.
Sometimes this comes down todid the shot go in or not?
It doesn't mean you wanted itmore, that shot just happened to
go in.
Okay, let me say you playedharder than I did.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
No, no, no, no.
Let me say this you could playharder, but you also have to
have skill.
So the team that has the mostskill in that wanted it more.
It usually wins.
You go back to the one more.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
I don't think so.
I would agree with that when itgets to like did you make the
playoffs?
You know they didn't seem likethey wanted it.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
And the NBA when they play for the championship games
.
It's a series like a seven gameseries.
And the one and done.
It's literally who wants itmore in a seven game series it
doesn't matter.
You can have some lucky bouncesbut at the end of the day the
best team wins In a seven gameseries.
In a seven game series, thebest team wins Because you could
be lucky and have all the luckybreaks and you could want it
(04:44):
more.
But if you're not good in aseven game series, you just
can't do it.
But in a one and done situation, if you want it more and you're
better and you get all thebreaks, more power to you.
But if you want it more and youdon't get all the breaks and
you're not as good, then don'twin it.
So that's where I'm coming from, that's it.
So shot to my brother, thebrother of the J.
(05:06):
We outside maybe come put thatbanner up.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
I do, no, I don't.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
I like LeBron James, but come on, let's put that
banner up, baby.
He has one more championshipthat Michael Jordan doesn't got.
You heard we outside Anyhow, myblood was boiling a little bit
there Just have to get that out.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
I'm sure there was an in season tournament, jordan to
want to want a couple of thoseMaybe.
Possibly, but the NBA at thattime didn't need an in season
tournament because peoplewatched the NBA in December and
in February or, I'm sure, inNovember.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
Did they though?
Yeah, the number said so.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
Yeah, it was very popular.
I mean, that was one of thefavorite things is, when the NBA
schedule came on, I wouldcircle all the home heat games
that I would hopefully, godwilling, could go to, and, and
times of change and the wholeworld is yeah, because nobody
cares.
It's amazing that I'm gettingmore money today than it did
then, yep, but yet people seemto really kind of almost care
(06:04):
less about the NBA as it didback then.
The NBA was so popular in the90s it really was.
In the 90s it was absolutely sopopular and it was primarily
dominated by one team.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
Well, you could be right, or it could just be
nostalgia, because when you tellstories, that's sure I and
looking back at them becausethere's some commercials like
the Mentos commercial.
It doesn't matter what comesfresh goes better With Mentos,
fresh and full.
That commercial.
Good job, memory, thatcommercial.
Yeah, I love that commercial.
Do you really Nostalgia?
Wow, I'm like, oh, it's thegreatest commercial ever.
It takes me back.
Good job, okay.
(06:40):
So with that in mind, it couldjust be you and nostalgia.
Maybe people did really lovethe NBA that much.
The skill wasn't the best.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
NBA Inside Stuff with a Bob and Sean Willow Bay that
was my.
It was better than all thedecided morning cartoons.
Watch the little save by thebell and things like that.
12 o'clock NBA Inside Stuff,that was my favorite show.
That's 1992.
Oh my gosh.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
I mean that's great.
I loved it.
I'd ask you.
Great that you could look backon it in such fun.
Love it, Love and light.
It's great.
So we're going to go on totoday's topic.
We got two topics basketballrelated.
We got Yanis and Tatecumpo outhere getting these points.
We got Dre Montgrain out hereslapping dudes because he thinks
he's all with all the smoke.
He's now with all the smoke.
Dre Montgrain, it was a longtime coming.
(07:27):
You kick LeBron James in theballs.
You deserve to be suspendedindefinitely.
But you weren't suspendedindefinitely because of what's
the playoffs?
Everybody's crying about it.
Nobody cares.
Dre Montgrain, it's a long timecoming.
You kick LeBron James in theballs.
You choked that guy.
What's his name?
The French guy?
I forgot the team.
He recently choked him, Gotfive games for that and now
(07:50):
finally, he slaps Youssef Nerkic.
Oh, pardon me, it's an accident.
No, bro, you meant to do thatand you deserve to be suspended
indefinitely because you're outhere.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
Not being a sportsman at all, you got Subonis' chest
and the playoffs against theKings he stomped on Subonis'
chest, stomped on him.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
You got oh my bad mistake, dre Montgrain.
Man, you kept doing foolishthings.
You kept he's a person thatplays stupid games and doesn't
hope to win the stupid prizes.
But now you've won a stupidprize.
You have a contract you justrecently got signed oh, a lot of
money.
They're paying them at thesuperstar.
They're going to have to takesome of that money back.
Bro, you snooze, you lose babyKyle and Kyle heard you keep
(08:34):
fighting for Dre Montgrain.
Dre Montgrain keeps doing goofythings because he works for the
volume.
You keep oh yeah, dre Montgrain, baby, baby, baby.
No, dre Montgrain's an idiot.
You go there, you play the game.
Sportsmanship counts.
Stop kicking people.
Stop stomping on people.
Stop hitting people in the face.
It's a game of basketball.
Play by the rules.
There's no need for you to bethe bully.
(08:55):
Sure, it doesn't call for that.
Play the game.
Not necessary For you to getsuspended indefinitely.
You deserve that.
It was a long time coming.
What?
Speaker 2 (09:03):
was his suspension, Do they?
Speaker 1 (09:05):
indefinitely.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
I know it's indefinitely, but they deserve
it.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
That just means they haven't made a decision yet, but
hopefully they don't make adecision to like five years from
now, put them on the bench.
If you truly love basketball,you will truly regret all the
decisions you made to likepeople.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
It's interesting to see if somebody actually like
one day he just starts somethingwith the wrong guy and the
wrong guy just, absolutely justbeats the living crap out of him
on the basketball floor.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
The wrong guys are no longer in the game of
basketball.
Dre Montgrain is one of thetough guys down in basketball.
You don't have a Kevin Garnettin there.
Imagine Dre Montgrain startingstuff with Kevin Garnett.
Imagine that that would be somesmoke.
Or Stephen Jackson?
I'm saying like oh StephenJackson.
Or Meta World Peace.
(09:53):
Imagine that, dre.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
Montgrain, I have to go back to the run-out test
because Meta World Peace wouldbring peace.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
Nah, meta, world Peace will probably be with all
the smoke too.
Or you thought this was a game?
Nah, dre Montgrain.
Nah, I'm with it.
I'm with it today.
It's over for you.
That would be crazy.
Kevin Garnett, stephen Jackson,ryan Arthas he's a very
insightful guy.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
I mean Dre Montgrain.
He listens to his podcasts andstuff.
He's very well thought out, soshe's just so incredible that he
always seems to find himself inthese situations.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
He doesn't have skill , so he resorts to violence.
If you have skill, play thegame play the game.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
You just play defense .
All you have to do is playdefense.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
No, he plays defense and decides I want to slap
people in the face, I want tokick people in the nuts.
Don't do that.
It's not the game.
Play the damn game.
That's my frustration.
I've played sports.
No, not at that level that DreMontgrain played, not even
nearly close.
But when people poke, you playthe game.
Show them that you can play.
That's how you get back at them, slapping them, kicking them,
(10:57):
punching them.
It's not how you show that yo,I got skill, because if you show
me you're better than me, itshuts me up.
What the hell am I going to do?
What the hell am I going to do?
You show me that I can't guardyou.
All right, cool, I need to shutit up and maybe work on my game
more.
Next time I come, maybe put upmy bet.
Next time I come, maybe put mybest foot forward against you.
(11:18):
Not next time I come, I need tomaybe get some brass knuckles,
just in case.
That's not the game ofbasketball.
Yeah, it's a physical game.
Sure, it's one-on-one and youhave to get physical with people
.
Stop hitting people.
It's not the game.
Show them that you're betterthan them.
Show them on your skill.
Dribble to the basketball court.
Dribble to the hoop, man, letthat thing hang, boy, hammer it
(11:40):
down.
You feel me?
Or maybe even I refer, maybestart stuff with Dennis Rodman.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
Oh, I tell you, there was a lot of just awesome tough
basketball players, Maybe evenSajig in the 90s and there in
the 2000s, Even Kobe.
Kobe was just, he was ruthless.
Kobe has everything.
I don't want to address him.
I don't want to address him.
He was six foot.
I'm like I'll have about 150,160 pounds.
(12:09):
I mean, how many times does hetry to fight him?
Wow.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
That's because I don't want to address him.
Invade him with a skill oh yeah, he's so good and then they
didn't like that so much.
He made everybody.
He put everybody on skates.
He did so they didn't like that, he did.
But speaking of tough guys, wegot Yana Santin to Kumpo, the
freight train of NBA.
He's big, strong and fast andmoves like a freaking.
Wow, get out of the way If youstay in front of him.
(12:36):
Don't do that.
You don't want that.
But what's going on with theGreek freak Angel?
Speaker 2 (12:41):
He scored that 64 points because he did it in a
paper.
He paced his game the othernight in Milwaukee and wanted
the basketball, butunfortunately as soon as the
game ended, the paces ran offwith it.
Why?
Speaker 1 (12:52):
did.
The paces ran off with it.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
One of their teammates scored a couple points
His first ever points in an NBAgame and they wanted to give
him the ball.
He scored two points.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
I don't know if those two points no, no, no.
If he was in basketball it wastwo Right, I don't know what he
ended the night with.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
I'm just saying he scored his first points of his
NBA career that night and theytook the ball to give to him.
Even the Yonahs on this nighthappens to score 64.
I know what that says, which isa franchise record.
Nobody in Milwaukee history hasever done that.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
Yonahs just needs to do that again so he can take the
game ball home this time.
Oh my God, that's all he needsto do.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
If I was that pace I'd be like you can have the
ball, bro.
You scored 64,.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
That's all.
They both want the ball.
It's a memorabilia that youcould if that player that scored
his first point in the NBA inthe NBA game.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
Yeah, I scored my first points in the night that
Yonah scored 64.
No, not the ball.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
Let's say that's a highlight of his life.
Or maybe he becomes a superstar.
This is the beginning of hisNBA career and this cements his
legacy.
Moving forward Cements hislegacy.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
Yeah, his legacy and his mind Do these soft talk
about their legacies all thetime.
I was left like people 100years from now are gonna look at
them and be like, wow, amazing,they come on.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
You may not look at them like wow, but remember the
nostalgia when you tell a storyfor the third time, for the 10th
time, 20 years down the road.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
No one's gonna talk about his two points that he
scored that night in the mall.
It's a great story.
You may not, but he will.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
Him and his family.
There you go.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
No, it's a beautiful thing, but I'm just saying he
scored 64, give it to him.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
Yonah scored 64,.
This guy scored two points.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
Oh man, give you back Karma.
If you're an Indian softfashion, give it to the man.
Give him his flowers.
Yonah's, do it again.
That's what it's.
That's what it's.
64 points, that's so easy.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
Well, that's Yonah's yes, he can do it again, all
right, if he can't do it again,it wasn't meant to be.
Oh, stop.
Yonah said it's a kumpo, theGreek freak, aka the Nigerian
nightmare on another universe,cause you have Nigerian ancestry
, you know, of course.
But let's keep it moving.
(15:01):
Chug-a-chug-a-chug-a.
So there's two stories here,right?
Shohei Ohtani gets spade themost.
Yes, three things going on here.
Shohei Ohtani gets spade themost, but defers his money.
Yes, 10 years down the line.
Okay, it's really like a 20year contract.
Okay, bobby Bonilla gets hismoney from the New York New York
(15:23):
Mets, defers it down the line.
So he gets, he gets spade abillion dollars every June, july
1st, or something like that.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
I mean, you know what I'm saying?
Yep, he goes to like what.
I think it's so 2035.
So it's played in 2000.
Speaker 1 (15:35):
So long after Shohei Ohtani retires and probably goes
back to Japan, does whatever hedoes, he'll still be getting
paid, but Shohei Ohtani gettingpaid that much?
Shohei Ohtani wouldn't havebeen the athlete to get paid the
most.
You know who would have beenLionel Messi going to the Saudi
Arabia League, the Saudi League.
They were willing to pay him abillion dollars.
(15:58):
That's true, 400 million,almost a billion dollars, 400
million a year for him to playin the Saudi League.
He turned that down to come toAmerica.
He played for Miami and playedfor Inter Miami.
I'm out here in Miami.
What's up?
Sexy rad Looking like youngthug.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
That's when you get to a point when you make so much
money and you're so famous andsomeone says I'll give you a
billion dollars, and then youjust stick to yourself.
What do you do with a billiondollars?
I don't need a billion dollars.
I want to go have some fun.
I'm going to go to Miami.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
It's not that Messi doesn't need it.
Messi doesn't need it.
Okay, go ahead.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
Hear me out.
Speaker 1 (16:38):
Messi's contract with America will be far more
lucrative in the sense thathe'll be in American culture
moving forward forever, Causeafter he's done he could be part
owner of a team.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
He could buy his own team with a billion dollars.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
He could.
But will the Americans let himbuy a team?
Why wouldn't they?
He's Messi.
He's the greatest of all time.
Yeah, but Messi's valuable as aplayer.
Messi is the owner.
It's like Michael Jordan is theowner and as Michael Jordan is
the owner, does he have a goodteam?
Speaker 2 (17:07):
No, Exactly Okay.
Do a lot of owners who didn'tplay sports have a good team?
No, they suck Well.
Speaker 1 (17:14):
No, those other owners cut their teeth doing
something else.
Speaker 2 (17:17):
Messi represents, but as an owner they suck, they're
horrible at being owners.
How many NFL owners are reallythat good?
Just seeing garbage teams thathave to draft first, you know,
in the top five, top 10 picksevery single year, except for
this year all the NFL teams arekind of like in categories.
Speaker 1 (17:34):
You've got a bunch of seven and six, seven and five
teams, you've got a bunch ofeight and four teams Got a bunch
of 10, and you got like westill got four weeks left.
You got one 10 and three teamsGot a couple of 10 and three
teams Got a couple of nine andnine and four teams out there.
So then the fellow teams are inwhatever, but Lionel Messi not
only does he get money from histeam that signed him, he's
(17:57):
getting money from Adidas, he'sgetting money from Apple, and
that's what I know so far,because every time there's a new
subscription for MLS, messigets paid to Apple, every time
there's a purchase, and it won'tcome to a billion dollars.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
That's a forever.
Nobody watches MLS that muchhere in this country.
It's not the Premier.
Speaker 1 (18:18):
League.
No people have eyeballs.
There's new eyeballs that camein to watch MLS because of Messi
, they never missed that muchmoney.
Soccer is international, sowhether or not American teams
watch, whether or not Americanaudiences watch, just oversee
the audience.
They want to watch Messi play.
(18:38):
That's subscribe, and thosesubscriptions may go up and
he'll get money from thatsubscription as well, and then
he'll get money from Adidas.
Probably that's a lifetimecontract.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
Whatever they sell.
That's what I'm saying.
He's making enough.
He's making a lot of money tothis.
So when you offer him a billiondollars, you could say I don't
want to play, I'd rather justcome to the United States to get
paid last month.
That's like an athlete whotakes a pay cut to say on a team
that's going to be a winnerBecause he goes.
I'd rather get paid less andenjoy my career winning than get
(19:11):
paid so much money and justlose.
So that's what I respect abouthim.
He really just wants to enjoyhis life.
He's been so successful andhe's like I don't need a billion
dollars.
Speaker 1 (19:24):
He's wanted at every level.
Speaker 2 (19:25):
I don't need a billion dollars.
I mean, I want to enjoy therest of my 30s.
I want to have some fun.
Live in Miami Obviously veryhigh Hispanic culture down there
.
Yeah, you can hang out.
Have fun, man.
Yeah, yeah, no, that's, that'sgood.
That's good.
It's the boss I will be hangson my for a couple more years.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
Well, I believe you hang out for a couple more years
and then you'll own an MLS teamand an expansion team expansion
, mls expands faster than anyfranchise or any league.
Speaker 2 (20:01):
I've ever known how many teams they have in the
league.
Now I don't know so manyfreaking teams.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
Well, maybe because they have more teams coming in
there, go ahead.
Maybe because it's going sofast?
Speaker 2 (20:11):
I mean, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
No, you don't see it because you're not in that you
know realm.
You're not paying attention tothem.
But maybe MLS is growing.
The audience is growing at sucha fast rate.
But there's a reason why theaudience may be going to such a
fast rate.
There's a bunch of foreignerscoming in via Mexico, so I mean
that's going to be the majorityof the MLS population.
(20:32):
Games are, games are packedwhen Portland, portland, when
the Portland team plays, thegames are packed.
Portland timbers, I believe.
Games are packed.
New York and New York has twoteams.
Ok, go ahead, the Red Bulls andNew York City FC.
Right, when they play, theyboth play to packed house.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
So they draw.
They have twenty nine currentclubs in the MLS.
Twenty nine Well, the thirtytwo seems to be the magic number
.
What the NFL has?
Thirty two teams now.
I think the NBA is trying tothirty two Hawk, I think hockey
is a good number, baseballwatching thirty two.
Thirty two seems to be whereeveryone wants to be right now.
The league does plan to expandto thirty teams in two thousand
(21:15):
twenty five for the debut of SanDiego.
So that'll be the thirtiethteam and then it'll expand, and
then it may expand to thirty twoteams at a later date.
So no really official otherteams other than San Diego.
Oh, ok, ok.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
Well, let's get back to this incredible, let's get
back to show a little tiny inthe baseball world.
Yes, so Shohei Otani offeredseven hundred million dollars
over ten years.
Yes, that dwarfs the nextclosest contract in America
which was that much else?
I know that football playerforty five mil, patrick Mahomes.
(21:49):
He, he dwarfs it by threehundred to four hundred million.
That's how awesome of acontract.
He asked.
Yeah, because Patrick Mahomes'contract initially was like five
hundred million or so for liketwelve years, but Shohei Otani's
contract dominates it, up anddown left and right and Shohei
Otani will become the firstbillionaire.
(22:11):
Well, just do contract moneyalone will be a billionaire,
like one of the firstbillionaire athletes.
Like who I played a sport?
They pay me.
Ok, yeah, instead of not justnot endorsements or extra or
whatever curricular activitiesgoing on or investments.
Just like I played a sport,they signed me.
They signed a contract to giveme the money, which is great for
him and great for a future.
(22:33):
What's it called?
Baseball starts coming up to.
Let it be known that there'smoney in the sport, because in
our reality not too many peoplewatch baseball, but somehow
they're making the money andthey're able to give it away
just as fast as they're makingit.
So kids out there, baseball isa sport to go play.
If you're talented enough likeShohei Otani, all good you money
.
You could easily ask allguaranteed money.
(22:54):
Seventy million dollars a yearAll guaranteed money.
Once he starts making it, andthe awesome thing about that is
taxes will be deferred.
So he may not have to, is itthat's what I hear?
He may not have to pay.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
So if you lose the Florida when he starts getting
paid that money.
He won't be.
He will get paid the state yeah.
Speaker 1 (23:15):
You get, you get you, and that is money fully Go
ahead.
Yeah, so that's that for that.
But let's revert back to thefootball world.
Got my boy Cameron CameronNewton.
He made a comment about gamechange, game managers, yes, and
then later on he had to explainhimself thoroughly about what he
meant by that.
But before that they werekilling him in media, killing
(23:39):
him Like how dare you say that?
But a few guys out there lookat it.
Cam Newton has a resume to talkthat talk about football
players.
He does.
He's won an MVP, he's gone toSuper Bowl.
He's won a work here to year.
He's led the league intouchdowns, he's made pro bowls.
He's been an all pro player.
So if he doesn't have the rightto speak what he said, who does
(24:02):
?
Who does?
Who in Stephen A Smith's world?
Does who in that guy anundisputed does?
They don't Let everybody talk.
Everybody can talk how they're.
No, no, he has a resume to backup what he's saying.
He played.
Speaker 2 (24:16):
Yeah, people can play and disagree with me.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
No, they could disagree with them, but to talk
down to them as if, like bro ohman, they should never talk down
.
Speaker 2 (24:24):
They should talk down , just man.
Man, that's what you think.
Speaker 1 (24:27):
How dare you spit such venomous crap?
It's just like one time Bradysaid, uh, the sports soft
nowadays, nobody jumped at him,but our time Brady's a goat.
So yeah, whatever he says, it'swhatever.
It's not the sports softer nowbecause you know, uh, slot
receivers are not getting theirhead knocked off when they go in
the middle, cause you knowthey're being protected.
(24:48):
You can't hit a defense lessplayer.
So gear cam Newton, the leewaycam Newton's a latter part of
his career.
You know it was crappy due tothe fact that he got into a bad
situations that he shouldn'thave gotten into.
He got into the Patriots justlike weeks before the season
started.
He went back to the Panthersthe season ago.
He started and then theyinserted him in.
(25:09):
It was just, he was justpositioned for failure.
He wasn't going to succeed.
He didn't have a whole offseason to learn the system and
go ahead out there and show out.
He didn't.
He was just going to be on athis day.
Oh, you could get to play yournext game.
You're set up for failure.
You're not going to succeed.
The people that he calls gamemanagers end up in correct
situations.
Rock Perti, that is the bestsituation Rock Perti could have
(25:32):
ended up in.
Matt Jones could have been inthat situation.
Matt Jones could haveflourished.
No-transcript.
Uh, shanahan, shanahan, kyle.
Shanahan is a tremendous coachand some way somehow he makes it
work with every quarterback.
Jimmy Garoppolo did great inShanahan system.
Matt Ryan did great in Shanahansystem.
Robert Griffin, the third, didwell in Shanahan system, won a
(25:53):
look year to year when he wasdown in Washington Cause
Shanahan was, uh, I believe,offensive coordinator or, uh,
you know, quality, offensive,quality controls coach or
something like that.
He was in there though he had aninput.
So every quarterback that'splayed in Shanahan system has
excelled.
He found out, he finds a way tomake it work for them.
But had Brock Perti ended upwith the New England, with uh,
(26:14):
uh, uh, dorators, or with, uh,san Diego, any of those other
teams he would have, he wouldn'thave been he's, he wouldn't be
what he is when Brock BrockPerti's worst games were when he
didn't have Dibo, he didn'thave Christian McCaffrey, he
didn't have Trent Williams.
So, yes, brock Perti ended upin the right situation, but he's
(26:36):
a game manager in the sensethat if he doesn't have all the
species that compliment him,Okay so he doesn't, he doesn't
win.
Speaker 2 (26:42):
Okay, so was uh, joe Montana a game manager.
He's an upper echelon gamemanager.
He's an upper echelon game.
Speaker 1 (26:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (26:49):
So if he didn't have Jerry Rice or Roger Craig on the
team uh, the greatest receiverever in, jerry Rice.
So I mean, if he, if JoeMontana was drafted by the
Indianapolis Colts a differentcareer.
Speaker 1 (27:04):
It's great, it is awesome for you to be drafted in
the culture that fits you.
That fits you and that you canmeld it well.
Most quarterbacks don't getthat opportunity.
You go to the worst team in theroster and if you go to the
worst team in the league and ifyou go to the worst team in the
league, they're trying to buildaround you.
When you come, they don'talready have a team set in place
to like, hey, here you go, thisis your team, just drive.
(27:26):
Just do what you need to do.
Do your part.
You don't need to do everybodyelse's part.
Just do your part and you willsucceed.
Rock Perti just have to passand do his part to succeed.
And if, uh, trent Williams isnot in the game, debo Samuel is
not in the game, he doesn't havesuccess.
It's been shown.
And who else did he talk about?
That press guy?
That press guy maybe more of anot liar, though, because I mean
(27:48):
that press guy went to theCowboy.
No, no, he, that press guy,came into the cowboy in a pretty
decent situation.
They drafted, uh, the guy fromOhio State there, zeke.
They drafted Zeke.
Running game was awesome.
Offensive line, the greatestthat I mean number one offensive
line and league.
So Jack press guy didn't haveto drop back and throw 40 times
(28:09):
a game, 50 times a game.
He threw maybe 20 times a gameand Zeke was running fresh,
fresh out of college just likehitting the stride, and that
press guy to rookie year 13 andthree.
So Cam Newton has points there.
It has some points into whathe's talking about.
It makes sense.
It makes sense because when Daklast year didn't have the team
(28:30):
that you know that he shouldhave, he kind of shit the butt.
He had like 15 to 20interceptions on the year and
it's such an interception ratiowasn't the greatest.
So if Cam doesn't have theright to speak on that situation
, I don't know who does.
Speaker 2 (28:46):
I like.
I like anything Cam has to say,whether you agree with it or
not.
It's interesting.
He's enthusiastic, he putsthought behind it.
Why not?
Why not?
Everyone flips out over it, sowhat?
Speaker 1 (28:58):
Well, it's been a quiet season-ish, kind of
besides Dream on Green's drama.
So this isn't too much drama inNFL.
There's a lot of backups, sure,but there's not too much drama,
like you know.
Players getting cut, receiversacting out like Divas.
So Cam says something, do we?
Speaker 2 (29:14):
need.
Do we need the drama to make itinteresting?
Speaker 1 (29:17):
Yeah, we need.
Yes, we do, we do, we do, weabsolutely do.
Human nature calls for drama.
Why I don't?
Speaker 2 (29:24):
know what's wrong with everybody.
And then if you talk toeverybody, they're just like God
.
I hate drama, Right, oh man.
We hate it, but when it comes Igo on a date with anybody and
just be like God, you don't justhate drama, Like, yeah, me too.
Speaker 1 (29:37):
And drama comes in this?
Speaker 2 (29:39):
No, no, no, no, it's just people love it.
Speaker 1 (29:42):
Uh-oh Well, to end this topic, though, to end all
everything in this episode,today we got.
It's a holiday season, allright, and if it's a holiday
season, it's a time for givingand time for receiving.
And uh, scammers out theretrying to receive from me.
You keep that in mind.
They're out there trying toreceive from you.
I've been scammed, I've beenscammed and I've been taken
(30:06):
advantage of that's.
I mean.
I'll tell those stories at alater date, but just be on the
lookout, people.
If you are calling customerservice, they're asking you to
give them gift cards.
They're asking you to gopurchase gift cards.
Don't do it.
It's a scam.
If you're calling customerservice and you missed one
number number of that company'sa 1-800 number.
It's a scammer you're getting,you're meeting up with If you
(30:28):
miss one number.
If you miss, if you're onenumber off like a phone call
you're making a phone call andyou're one number off like Apple
care it takes you to a scammer.
So they pay attention to that.
They pay attention to all thoselittle details to snatch you up
and lock you up.
So pay attention.
It's a holiday season, it's aseason for giving and receiving,
but do not be the one to getGod.
(30:48):
If it looks too good to be true, it is too good to be true.
That's so everything about life.
So don't go out there and belike, yeah, man, I got it like
that.
You don't.
A scam is out there to get you.
They don't mean, I mean,they're not doing it out of ill
will, they're doing it tosurvive, but it hurts you when
(31:09):
they survive.
So it's a double-edged swordand, by the way, you either.
It's a double-edged sword.
You like to support some ofthese people and help them out,
but you don't know them, so youdon't have no connection to them
.
But they want to make their.
I mean, they want to receivetheir holiday gifts and if it
comes out of your pocket, so beit.
They don't know you either.
They could care less Time forgiving, time for receiving
(31:31):
scammers or will or Scammers areramping up to receive.
So if you call a 180 money 800number and they're like, go buy
some gift cards, don't saynothing to nobody.
And it looks like nothing.
No, don't say nothing to nobody.
And it's sketchy, it's crazy.
Keep that in mind.
There's a reason why it'ssketchy, all right.
There's a reason why it's toogood to be true.
(31:52):
And if you're on craigslist andyou know what craigslist is,
they're gonna put a whole bunchof listings out there that look
too good to be true and they'lltell you send us the money.
