Baker Mayfield Feels Unappreciated by Bucs, WNBA Betting Warning, and FIFA’s Controversial World Cup Stake Plan · The Daily Play With Joy Taylor

  Speaker 1: Hey guys, welcome to The Daily Play with Joy Taylor.
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: Thanks so much for joining me. Make sure you hit subscribe,
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: follow us on social at the Daily Play Joy Taylor.
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: And just like that, Baker Mayfield ways in on his
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: contract stalemate with the Bucks. We hit this yesterday on
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: The Daily Play Good Get Ugly. We're right now at
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: the final year of Baker's deal and he will walk
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: into free agency as an unrestricted free agent next offseason
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: if they don't get a deal done. It's not an
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: ideal situation for the Bucks to begin with. They're also
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: dealing with, you know, a unique character in Baker. He
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: opened up to reporters about the state of the contract negotiation,
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: and he didn't hold back. He said that he and
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: his agent were quote not presented with an offer that
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: was appealing whatsoever. If you waited this long as say
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: care of your franchise quarterback, that's too bad because it's
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: only going to get worse from here. I'm going to
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: have a really big year and I think I'm.
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: A franchise quarterback. I've been told I'm a franchise quarterback.
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: It's been said publicly from ownership down here, and so
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: to not have a deal done is very disappointing. But
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: I said the deadline was a deadline, and I addressed
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: the team to let them know that I meant that
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: it's all ball. It's disappointing when you think you're a
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: cornerstone of the franchise to be treated like that, but disappointing.
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: I know the contract and salary cap, what's going on.
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: Franchise tag isn't exactly in play for them. There'd be
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: a lot of dead money.
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: So just what it is.
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: And like I said, I'm fortunate, but on this side,
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: I'm in the best shape I've ever been, in a
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: really good place.
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: Obviously, to play on.
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: The last year of your deal and not a long
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: term deal is not what any player wants, but particularly
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: a quarterback.
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: So this is risky on Baker's part.
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: Not because I don't think he's going to have a
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: big year, because I do think he's right. If he's healthy,
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: he's going to have a big year. But you know
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: you are risking health and that could potentially prohibit you
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: from future situations. And so do you sign a deal
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: as you don't feel like it necessarily is your value
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: but guarantees you more years And it seems like if
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: Baker at this point is not getting a real deal
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: on the table, that this is the this is the move.
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: I mean, he's aware of the risks that he's taking
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: and playing on this deal. I don't get what the
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: Bucks are doing here. It's a really starved quarterback market.
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: When you're talking about guys that can win, that can
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: get you to the playoffs, that can you know, command
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: a franchise and listen. I have been a Baker douter
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: many a time, but I think that Baker has grown.
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: I think he has proven himself. I think he is
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: a franchise quarterback. And I think this situation with the
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: Bucks is very weird. He is a legitimate starting franch
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: not even starting. He's a legitimate franchise quarterback in the league.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: What are you doing?
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: He's absolutely right.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: It only gets more expensive the longer that you wait
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: to get a deal done. And we have seen guys
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: who have were completely doubted and thrown by the wayside
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: go and win Super Bowls. So you got to get
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: to the dance, that's one, and he's going to get
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: you there, so you get what you pay for. And
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: I think that Baker is a franchise quarterback. This makes
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: me respect Baker that he is standing on it and
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: making them you know, it's essentially aware that that this
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: deadline is what it was. I mean, if if they
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: come back to him with a real deal, I'm sure
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: he will move away from it. But you know, he's
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: not going to take less than he's worth, and this
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: is that that's on him to negotiate this way. I
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: I just you know, NFL life is crazy, and I
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: just I don't I don't understand it. You have a
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: franchise guy. It's hard as how to find a franchise
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: quarterback and he's already in the building. Just get him signed.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: It's going to save you more money in the long term.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: And what is your other option? Like, is there a
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: better option out there? It's it's it's starved out in
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: these streets. So I don't get what the Bucks are.
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: Doing switching to hoops. Oh late days don't do this.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: So Page and Angel reaes we're all over the internet
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: thanks in large parts of WNBA Twitter accounts, a camera
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: captured Angel rees and Pagebacker is making a little wager
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: on last weekend's All Star Game.
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: And yeah, the irony is that the league posted it.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: So either they didn't think it was an issue or
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: procedures broke down, and.
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: That's how the not approved posts got posted.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: But they have announced that neither one of them are
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: going to get any punishment for this friendly wager. The
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: league acknowledged the post, which started a conversation about punishment,
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: and said there was some poor taste, saying while the
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: social media posts intended to be lighthearted, WMA players are
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: well aware of the league's policies prohibiting betting on WA
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: games and received training every year to enforce those policies.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: We recognized the posts missed the mark move it shortly
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: after it was published and addressed the matter internally. We
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: will also use this as an opportunity to re emphasize
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: what the players involved that conversations about wagering on WM games,
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: even intended as a joke, can have negative consequences. Don't
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: know it, don't talk about don't talk about hambling guys,
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: So listen. They can't punish them, and they posted the
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: video on the official WNBA accounts like that's cooked. I
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: can't even imagine the lawsuit that would come from that,
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: like gambling or not. But listen, this is keep real simple.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: Do not talk about gambling. Do not joke about it,
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: do not post anything about it, although they didn't, don't no,
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: just no, okay, there's too much going on. You cannot
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: bet on games, even also games, even a silly bet,
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: Like I'm not saying anything anyone doesn't know, but yeah,
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: this could be This could have been a whole lot worse.
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: And of course now all you know, people are running
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: to talk about how they need to be suspended. It
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: just please okay, please, but but but.
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: Not great.
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: The caption said, basically, we did saying pay and Angel
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: made a bet on tonight's matchup being the All Star Game,
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: and it was Angel was holding four hundred dollars in
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: her hand.
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: If y'all lose, I get to have that.
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: If y'all win, you get your four hundred, and if
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: we lose, we get to keep that.
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: Like they just basically had a friendly, a jokingly friendly
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: wager on the All Star Game. But it's just not
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: a good look.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: There's so much going on around the WNBA and so
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: many conversations off the court to two great players, like
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: they're not neither one of them are going to get
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: suspended for this. But it is a cautionary tale that
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: you know, just don't no jokes. The gambling thing is
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: not a joke. We can't have this right now, all right, Finally, Oh,
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: we got to.
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: Talk about soccer and it's for a wild reason. So
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: we just wrapped up the World Cup, a great World.
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: Cup, a fantastic final, Goat versus Young Goat. FIFA announced
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: incredible revenue thirteen billion for its latest four year cycle,
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: over a one hundred percent increase from the previous period.
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: But the month isn't even over and FIFA has done
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: something that may end world soccer as we know it. So,
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: thanks to reporting by Martin Ziegler of The Times and
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: in the Financial Times, FIFA acknowledged details of a plan
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: would sell twenty percent of the stake in FIFA, worth
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: approximately twenty billion dollars. There's two hundred and eleven nations
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: in FIFA and if they accept this deal, they'll get
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: a forty million dollar payout, with twenty million available as
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: soon as January if they sign on the September deadline.
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: Further reporting suggests that the group of potential investors includes
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: JP Morgan and Trump's son in law Josh Bschner. Subsequently,
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: the federations that represent most of the good football countries
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: have said we're all out of FIFA events, including the
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: World Cup if this gets approved, and momentum is now
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: building for Infantino to be ousted.
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: I am obsessed with the story.
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: So basically everyone has said, bleep you FIFA and Infantino
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: and Kushner and anyone associated with Trump and this silly
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: idea that they are going to sell off the World Club.
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: Everything is not for sale, you guys.
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: This obsession with greed and making everything into profit and
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: everything just squeezing every last dollar out of every corner
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: of everything that exists is exhausting and eventually it ruins
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: the product and then there is no more.
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: Money to be made.
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: And I'm so glad that these countries are standing up
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: and saying that this measly check that these one percenters
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: thought they were just going to throw out to every
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: country in the world as if they care about this
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: little bitty check that.
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: You're writing them to sell off the World Cup.
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: And they're basically saying soccer is not for sale, like
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: football is not for sale.
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: This is for the people. This is the most prestigious competition.
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: In the world for this sport, and we are not
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: selling it off to a bunch of private investors to
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: do what they want with this sport. Thank you for
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: coming together and saying they're not doing this. It is
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: so It gives me so much pleasure to know that
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: they are putting a stop to this and that they
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: are finally standing up to this insane, insane proposition and
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: this insane setup with FIFA. This is a big, big,
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: big story. If you are if you're following soccer, if
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: you're a soccer fan, if you're just interested in business,
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: and how all of these people think that they run
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: the whole world, This story is so enjoyable to me.
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: The fact that they really came up with this.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: This ridiculous plan and thought that everyone was just gonna
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: get along gang with it is so embarrassing.
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: They do not need that little bitty.
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: Check now to you or I, that check might be significant,
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: but we were talking about whole countries, okay, with massive industries,
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: with massive amounts of money, trillions of dollars. They don't
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: need a little check from Kushner. They really thought that
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: they were going to sell everything off. I understand something
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: twenty percent, but that is a massive amount of the
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: World Cup in FIFA and it would change soccer forever.
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: Everything is not for sale. Greed is crazy, like relax,
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: do you have?
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: How many oughts do you need? And I'm not even
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: saying this from like a moral space. It's just like
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: enough already. Just enjoy something without trying to make it
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: into something that you sell.
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: I love this story.
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: I love what it means for sport that everyone said no,
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: and I will be following this to see what ends
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: up happening because it has gotten to a point where
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: it has absolutely gone off the rails. And the fact
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: that everyone said, yeah, we're not doing that, that we
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: will not compete in the World Cup.
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: There will be no World Cup. You can sell what
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: you want wing, I'll be there. I love it as
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: you should. What a silly, silly, silly idea. You guys
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: do not own everything. You just don't. Thanks so much
