Speaker 1 (00:00):
I'm always asking questions, and the reason why is because
the fund begins when you start researching for answers such as,
why is fantasy football so popular? What's the attraction? Plus
lawyer commercials all day, all night, seven days a week.
Why my name is Errol? I'm a daily writer, a
(00:20):
silent wolf. I stand on the sidelines and do nothing
but watch, listen, study, then activate. I happen to call
it the daily Mess, a chronological walk through an everyday world. Yeah,
it's my morning writing as a receiver of thoughts and ideas.
We as people tend to throw things to the side
because we think we're gonna deal with it later on. Well,
when a subject arrives inside of me, I know it's
(00:41):
time to dig in. It's still keeping that daily journal,
but by doing the research, the picture becomes clearer. This
is the daily Mess. Well, here we are. A new
NFL season is upon us, which means the circles will
be talking the men and women of fantasy football. Why
is it even so popular? Well, it enhances engagement with
(01:03):
pro football by allowing fans of the game to become
team managers. Suddenly, personal stakes are very important, and individual
player's performance is now part of the game. It involves
a combination of strategy as well as competition with friends
and others inside the community. Fantasy football change the way
(01:23):
fans watch the sport. It's no longer about supporting your
real life team. I mean you can still do that,
you can still have that loyalty, but if you're doing
fantasy football right, you're getting a lot of pro football
games in a lot of strategic thinking is involved, drafting players,
managing rosters, staying on top of the injury list. Those
(01:44):
playing fantasy football feel a sense of control and some
fantasy football players have been called masters at the sport.
And yes, you can win a healthy sum of money
playing fantasy football. Oh the way we play? Are modern
day games? Coming up next? Every single day and hour?
(02:04):
Nothing but lawyer commercials? Why, hey, thanks for coming back
to the daily mess. There are a lot of lawyer
commercials on TV dealing with every ailment known to man.
In some cases, those commercials felt more like the five
pm news story than an infomercial. Why are there so
(02:25):
many lawyer commercials on TV? Here's the truth. Because it's
a highly profitable industry with a massive market. Advertising is
an effective way to build up brand awareness. The goal
is to reach vulnerable potential clients. Many of these lawyers
work on a contingency basis. They get a percentage of
(02:46):
the payout behind closed doors. Keep in mind this is
all about making a profit. Lawyers need a large sum
of potential clients to identify and secure the most profitable cases.
Most commercials on TV feature one thing you're always told
you have the right. They offer urgency and promise a
large settlement. The ability for lawyers to advertise on TV
(03:10):
came from the US Supreme Court, who in nineteen seventy
seven made their announcement after the Bates versus State Bar
of Arizona. It removed prohibitions against attorney advertising. I'm Marrow,
and that's the daily mess.
