Shay Ohtani again is in the tabloids, ladies and gentlemen.
1:04
And uh oh, Ohtani is in big trouble and I think the MLB
1:08
needs to look into this story. His agent being sued in a land
1:13
development deal. Shay Ohtani and his agent are
1:16
being sued by two real estate developers in Hawaii claiming
1:21
they got them fired from a $240 million luxury housing project.
1:28
Ohtani and his agent, Nez Balayo of CAA, are being accused of a
1:35
calculated and unlawful scheme which interfered with the
1:39
development of the property which Ohtani was supposed to be
1:44
a public sponsor of, on top of owning $17 million of the
1:50
property in the complex. The plaintiff or plaintiffs
1:56
claim Balelo used Otani's leverage as a celebrity to
2:01
eliminate the two developers roles in the project.
2:05
The plaintiffs lawyer Josh Schiller, claims that Otani and
2:10
his representation refused to negotiate a resolution.
2:15
Schiller accused Balelo of doing business on Otani's behalf and
2:20
illegally forcing the removal of the plaintiffs to fatten his own
2:26
pockets and do not know if Otani was aware of the dealing of his
2:32
agent but said the agent was doing business on his behalf.
2:37
He's responsible for the agents. Ultimately.
2:40
Otani signed a 10 year, $700 million deal with the Dodgers in
2:44
2023 and won his third MVP and was a World Series champion last
2:50
year. There's a lot of legs to this
2:51
story. And again, it's a story that
2:55
eventually will be brushed under the rug.
2:57
We know it's going to be brushed under the rug because we all
3:00
know that betting scandal was brushed under the rug.
3:03
Two guys are in jail, sitting in jail for Shayo Otani.
3:10
Two of them. And again, I'm not going to go
3:14
back into this sports betting scheme or gambling situation
3:18
because let's just brush that under the rug and get to this
3:22
story. Because this story seems to be
3:24
even worse when Sheila Tani uses his superstardom to negotiate a
3:34
deal worth about 250 or $240 million of luxury housing and
3:42
then obviously not doing the right thing behind it.
3:48
Now, everybody saying that Sheila Tani might not have known
3:52
that Belalo was putting money into his pockets and and
3:57
obviously doing things schemefully to hurt these two
4:01
plaintiffs that were involved with.
4:03
And I'm not, I'm not going to cry about these two guys because
4:06
they're probably multi millionaires, billionaires.
4:09
So I'm not going to cry for them or cry me a river for them that
4:12
they lost $240 million or whatever.
4:15
How much money they're going to lose out of this deal.
4:19
But the fact that Otani's involved in a scheme like this
4:21
again tells me that the MLB needs to dig a little deeper in
4:26
Otani's behalf. And why I say Otani's behalf
4:29
because Otani seems to be the whipping board for us on this
4:36
show. We love to whip Shay Ohtani, and
4:39
everybody likes to protect Shay Ohtani offset of this show
4:43
except Jabba. Jabba has protected Shay Ohtani
4:46
since the beginning. Jabba's always stuck behind it.
4:50
The sports betting situation with him.
4:52
And even if it to be true, we can't.
4:55
There's no proof. So Jabba, until proven guilty,
4:58
Jabba doesn't think that Shay Ohtani had anything to do with
5:00
it. This story.
5:03
You can't tell me that Shero Tani didn't know about the $240
5:07
million that he invested into with this housing project.
5:11
I don't know if you you haven't read the report because it went
5:14
and this is via si.com and it was actually Nez is the one that
5:21
used his name and if you're as an agent, he can still be held
5:26
liable. But he had nothing to do with
5:28
it. It was his name was on the
5:29
behalf because he was listed as the first.
5:33
Holder so. They've already they've already
5:35
reviewed. I'm just I'm just saying what I
5:36
read. All right, There's nothing
5:38
that's going to happen to the dude.
5:39
You already. Know that, no, there's nothing
5:40
going to happen because he's the face of baseball.
5:42
Baseball's protecting him. He's going to win the home run.
5:45
He's going to have the most home runs this year.
5:47
He's probably going to get, he's going to get another MVP this
5:50
year in the National League because he's Shay Otani and
5:53
baseball likes to protect this guy, it seems.
5:55
You're innocent till proven guilty.
5:56
Well, in America you are. In other countries, you're
5:59
probably gonna get thrown into jail as we all.
6:01
Know Hawaii still? Yeah, well, I, Hawaii is still
6:07
the United States, so he's going to get away with it.
6:09
But I, I don't know Naz. I don't know this guy
6:12
specifically. I know obviously he's an agent
6:14
at CAA and, and this is a guy that is finding ways to make
6:18
extra money on the side. All these agents, all these
6:21
lawyers are trying to find ways to make extra money on the side.
6:25
But when you hear Otani's name being brought in this
6:28
conversation, it would, if you're an Otani fan, you'd have
6:31
to be worried that Otani's name is going to be brought in to a
6:34
lot of these conversations stations for the very near
6:37
future. Otani is making hundreds of
6:40
millions of dollars. He is he's and I know fish is
6:43
going to come into this and he's going to bring up the chair.
6:45
Otan, he's making $100 million a year in endorsements.
6:48
The closest, the next two guys right under him are making
6:51
$7,000,000 a year in endorsements and Aaron Judge and
6:56
Juan Soto. So think about it this way.
6:58
There's got to be something fishy going on if Juan Soto and
7:02
Aaron Judge, 2 superstars, 2 big names in the major leagues, are
7:05
only bringing in $7,000,000 a year in endorsements and this
7:09
man is bringing in $100 million a year in endorsement.
7:13
This has to be something. But they're not global.
7:16
Otani is global. Aaron Judge isn't global.
7:18
No. Aaron Judge isn't, You're
7:21
telling. Me judge is is more global than
7:24
Otani. I didn't say that you're.
7:25
Out of your gore. First of all, Otani's global in
7:28
Japan. Otani's global everywhere.
7:32
Aaron Judge is only global because he's a Yankee.
7:34
If he was, if he was a Milwaukee Brewer, he's not global, Aaron,
7:38
let's be honest. All right, that's fine.
7:39
But Aaron Judge is the best player in baseball.
7:41
He's been the best player in baseball for the last four.
7:43
Years, but he's not even close to being as global as Otani is.
7:47
Who's the most popular athlete right now in professional
7:49
baseball right now? Are we talking globally?
7:52
No, in the United States. I mean, I'm still gonna it's.
7:56
Probably Aaron Judge. I I would beg to differ.
8:00
It's probably Aaron Judge. I, I don't know what the numbers
8:04
are, but if, if we have our producers actually looking it
8:07
up, but we're talking about it, that would be pretty simple to
8:10
just Google as we always do, go to Google and find out who.
8:15
OK, so who's the top sailing jersey Otani?
8:19
Yeah, worldwide in the United. States no, in the US is.
8:23
Is the top sailing jersey. In the.
8:25
US what is the. Number in the US, Japan and
8:27
worldwide. We have three guys on a
8:30
computer. Nobody has an answer here.
8:32
I'm. Looking at it right now.
8:34
Who is the most popular player right now in the Just because
8:37
you're a jersey seller doesn't make you the most popular player
8:40
in in the United States. It's just a jersey.
8:42
So how so? So how?
8:43
Did. So what is your metric of saying
8:45
they're the most? Popular.
8:46
I don't know. I'm just asking.
8:48
Obviously, there's the jersey. Sales the most popular because
8:51
they're buying the jersey, not. Really.
8:54
Because just because I believe LeBron James, who had the most
8:57
jersey sales in professional sports this past year?
9:01
Do I have to look this up because my guys can't do it?
9:04
Google most sold jerseys in. Professional, You said it a
9:10
million times to you, it's Otani by far over judge in jerseys.
9:14
I'm talking about an all professional sports.
9:16
You guys are not. Helping some soccer player who
9:18
cares what? Do you mean who cares, Soccer?
9:21
Who cares? I'm bringing up.
9:23
You're telling me that's the only thing you're going to say?
9:25
Who cares? That's how they they always buy
9:28
the soccer jerseys because every country in the world watches
9:32
soccer because that's all they they look.
9:35
It's a you. All you need is a ball and a
9:38
couple of like marks. Peter, you're still looking
9:40
right there. And you can.
9:41
I'm only seeing Otani too, I don't see any others that are.
9:44
Objective. Yeah, dude, Otani's more popular
9:47
because he's like, he's gold. He's international, he's global.
9:51
MLB Shea Otani, NBA Luka Dodgek, NFL Saquon Barkley, MLS Leona
9:57
Messi, NHL Alexander Ovechkin. That's all I needed.
10:01
You guys couldn't do that for me.
10:02
Thank you very much. That's those are the top selling
10:07
jerseys in each and every sport. Thank you to my producers for
10:12
not getting me those numbers. Oh, I'm sorry, I was doing the
10:14
more important actual production.
10:16
I'm talking about the other guys that are sitting right beside me
10:19
and can't get me numbers and here it is a jerseys top selling
10:24
jerseys all time, Michael Jordan, Leona, Messi, Cristiano
10:28
Ronaldo, LeBron James, Tom Brady, Derek Jeter, Kobe Bryant,
10:34
Neymar, Sidney Crosby. If you go by like Instagram and.
10:39
Judge, that's what you're talking about.
10:41
I'm just, I'm looking, I'm looking at jersey sales all
10:45
time. I, I just want numbers.
10:46
You guys are sitting here going back and forth.
10:48
Who cares? Shay Otani is making money in
10:51
every kind of way. You're the guy that never wants
10:53
numbers. No, I'm not.
10:55
But I, I, if I ask you on numbers, well, I'm asking you
10:57
for numbers and none of you guys could give me numbers.
11:00
That's. We've got numbers up in the now.
11:02
You do. We took guys. 9.2 million
11:05
followers on Instagram. Judge has 1.9.
11:09
That means that he's 4 1/2 times more popular than Judge.
11:13
That's that's why I was wondering what what your metric
11:16
was of like most. Popular.
11:18
There's no like, popularity, Yeah.
11:20
There's no standings dude. It's not like the stent meter on
11:23
a golf course, like, hey, it's rolling out of 13.
11:26
All right, all right here. Best selling jerseys of 2025 One
11:30
Leona Messi #2 Cristiano Ronaldo #3 Steph Curry #4 Giannis
11:39
Obviously Giannis. OK, what's your point?
11:42
Here though I'm I'm trying to figure out what.
11:44
He's trying to say baseball's not that popular.
11:46
That's what I'm saying. No, that's what I'm saying.
11:48
That's what I'm. Saying, well, yeah, soccer,
11:50
always. That's what.
11:51
I'm saying is that's what I'm saying with those guys, you
11:56
don't and baseball jerseys don't sell the same as like some of
11:59
these other. Jerseys.
11:59
They're way more expensive too. Yeah, you have to remember that.
12:03
If you get the like the real 1. The fact here is Otani's making
12:07
money hand over fist, and now he has his hands dipped into real
12:11
estate. And now again he's being accused
12:14
of being a part of some scheme where everybody is saying, well,
12:18
he's not a part of it, Or they're trying to find ways
12:20
where they're saying, well, his name is on the contract, but he
12:24
probably has nothing to do with it.
12:26
Probably isn't. Does not mean that he has
12:29
nothing to do with that situation.
12:31
You're going to tell me that Shay Otani didn't know that
12:33
there was 20 something, $1,000,000 missing out of his
12:35
account when it came to sports gambling?
12:37
You're going to tell me that she, Otani, didn't know about
12:39
$240 million of his own money, right.
12:42
Was it his own money or something?
12:44
So it's. So here's the thing.
12:46
They're suing him for 240 million.
12:48
What was the money that he invested in HE?
12:50
He so we don't know the total number that he invested.
12:53
He's supposed to be the face. So they had him buy the first
12:58
housing house in this development listed at 17 and
13:02
change $1,000,000 that. Also, there was a deal with
13:06
these two guys that are suing that they would use him to
13:10
promote the development in Hawaii.
13:11
No, I got to. Attract luxury clientele, right?
13:14
I got it. So, so as far as what the value
13:17
is, I think he's being sued for how much those two guys thought
13:20
they were going to make off of this deal.
13:23
And that his his agent who's a part of the deal it was
13:27
pocketing obviously or trying to find.
13:30
Ways to I think that's the story right this is a high profile
13:33
agent at CAA Belalo and he is doing some shady like this is
13:39
some of the stuff that but. Why is Otani putting himself?
13:42
In the wire do. Why is Otani putting himself
13:44
around these people? And if he, if that that's my
13:48
question, why is Otani putting himself around all these people?
13:52
Obviously his interpreter, I know it was his friend, but his
13:55
interpreter went to jail and he's going to come out and he's
13:58
probably going to be very rich because Otani's going to take
14:00
care of him and his family. And then this, this story with
14:04
Nez Belalo, he's he's another guy that is connected to Shay
14:09
Otani and he's using Shay Otani's name to get rich.
14:14
You realize his interpreters in federal, like that's a Country
14:18
Club. Like you just have a fence
14:20
around you, but you get a dude like if you get committed to
14:23
crime, my dad worked in a prison for 30 years.
14:25
So you don't want to be state, you want to be federally because
14:28
it's literally a Country Club. You get treated, you get free
14:31
time, you get everything. Like it's you're not doing time.
14:34
You just happen to stay in the same spot.
14:36
But you have your, I mean, you can do whatever you want.
14:39
You watch whatever you want. You have computer.
14:41
Like it's not like you're in prison.
14:43
Like federal time is cake. Yeah, he's probably taking prop
14:47
bets over there in 100. Percent.
14:50
And Carl, Carl, I know Carl likes to turn into Jeff over
14:53
here and says that I'm getting mad because I'm wrong.
14:56
No, what I was trying to get at is that baseball is not as big
15:00
as all the other sports. That was my argument.
15:03
Carl, why don't you shove it up your ass?
15:04
Because you don't know what the hell you're talking about half
15:06
the time. And if you have nothing good to
15:08
say, you could shove it up your ass again.
15:10
So my whole point here is that again, Shay Otani is involved
15:15
with his scheme that he now everybody is claiming or
15:18
somebody or people are claiming, well, he knew nothing about and
15:23
but his name was stamped to it. So it's going to be brushed on
15:26
the rug because of it. And if the story does grow legs,
15:31
I'm sure there's going to be some kind of proof that Sheryl
15:34
Atani knew about this story and was trying to scheme away to
15:38
make more money off this deal. Because remember, these guys
15:41
that are involved with this deal are multimillionaires.
15:44
There probably are there. I mean, if they're putting
15:47
whoever put $240 million in, if it's not Sheryl Tani, they're
15:51
putting their own, they're multi billionaires if they're throwing
15:53
that kind of money into, you know, a luxury housing project.
15:57
So again, I, I realized that baseball is not doing the right
16:04
thing with this guy. They're letting this guy get
16:06
away because of his name, because of who he is nationally,
16:10
and because he's the face or one of the faces of professional
16:13
baseball. But again, when is it going to
16:16
be enough? When is baseball going to drop
16:18
the hammer on this guy? When are they going to
16:21
investigate this guy and take this seriously?
16:24
Because they're not. This guy has been a part of two
16:28
schemes, 2 of the biggest ones we've heard in the last 10 years
16:33
of professional baseball. You remember the other one, the
16:35
steroids. The steroids was the last big
16:38
scheme. Now you're talking about sports
16:40
better. We, we just, we're talking.
16:42
About unless you. Unless you count the Spider Tack
16:45
you. Know.
16:45
No, that's not. There wasn't really money.
16:49
There wasn't really money made off that.
16:51
I mean, Spider Tack has been going on for years.
16:54
Just like we we talk about all these sports that people were
16:57
cheating and finding a ways to get over on certain sports.
17:00
I mean, in football with the Deflategate, I mean, you think
17:04
Tom Brady was the only guy doing that.
17:06
Come on, Drew Brees was probably doing that.
17:09
Peyton Manning was probably doing it.
17:11
Eli made all of them were doing it.
17:12
So it was just because obviously in the NFL they couldn't, they
17:17
couldn't get them for Spygate, So they had to do something.
17:23
And if they didn't do anything, the owners were going to drop
17:25
the hammer on Rodger Goodell because Rodger Goodell and
17:27
Robert Kraft were so very close. They were hanging out and
17:30
fishing together. So and that's how they turned
17:33
they they turned for best friends to enemies after
17:36
Deflategate. I just think that Major League
17:39
Baseball should investigate this a little bit deeper, take this
17:42
more seriously. I you cannot just lay this, lay
17:46
this under, you know, under the rug or brush it under the rug or
17:50
throw it out and make it seem like it's nothing, $240 million
17:53
isn't nothing to think about. That's a lot of money.
17:57
And if he's putting, OK, and if you can't, you can't do anything
18:00
to him. Maybe sit down with Shay Otani
18:03
and have a conversation with him and tell him why are you putting
18:06
yourself around these idiots? You're putting yourself around
18:09
these idiots that are getting you in trouble, that are putting
18:12
you in the tabloids, putting you in, you know, stories where it's
18:17
just going to get worse for you. And eventually the stories are
18:21
going to get worse and it's eventually going to catch up to
18:24
them. Eventually he could get caught
18:26
too and if there's enough connections to these because
18:29
these are two different, very different worlds, even though
18:31
they're both money, one's sports betting, this one's real estate,
18:34
there could be a lot of people that try to take advantage of it
18:37
like that too. Whether he how evolved he is or
18:40
not, it is the second time around.
18:41
So there's going to be a chain reaction to this kind of thing
18:44
where if it does add up over time, whether it's in Japan,
18:47
whether it's in LA or other, in this case in Hawaii, there's
18:50
going to be another case like that.
18:52
And now this is a case of obviously him wanting.
18:54
He'll never get get caught in Japan.
18:56
No, probably not. He'll never get caught in Japan,
18:58
but the guys are God. They're going to build statues.
19:01
They're going to. He's going to be the king of
19:03
Japan by the time he's done with professional baseball.
19:05
He'll buy Japan with the money that this guy's making right now
19:09
in endorsements and the deferred money that the Dodgers owe him.
19:13
The guy's going to buy Japan by the time he's done with
19:16
professional baseball. I mean that that's there's no
19:19
argument to that. I mean, how much money is this
19:21
guy bringing in yearly? How much years left does he have
19:25
in baseball? How old is he, 3031?
19:27
He just signed what, a 12 year deal with the Dodgers?
19:31
Yeah. So I think it's now enter, enter
19:33
year 2 and he has nine more years.
19:35
Left by the time he's done, he'll be 4041 years old.
19:38
How much money do you think this man is going to have?
19:41
You're talking about 3-4, maybe $5 billion that he's made.
19:45
He's going to be able to buy his own professional baseball team.
19:48
He'll buy his own God damn island, you know, right next to
19:52
Leonardo DiCaprio and Robert De Niro.
19:54
How about that? I mean, the guy's making so much
19:56
money now and. That's why he has to be careful
19:59
before he ends up getting caught with the.
20:01
Ultimate wrong because again, there's enough of these that add
20:03
up in different walks of life too.
20:06
And we've seen it in football too.
20:07
A lot of guys that end up getting caught, football players
20:10
getting caught in season. Michael Kendrick's most recent
20:12
one with a financial scheme, he was suspended for a whole year
20:15
when he was with the Browns. The Giants had a couple players,
20:17
Will Allen and James Butler I think was the other one was a
20:19
safety that was caught in a lot of different things like that.
20:22
So there's enough of those that can go around with a guy still
20:25
playing too. So you do have to be careful,
20:27
especially internationally speaking where these guys can
20:29
get involved of where these money is going.
20:31
I don't know Blaylo if. Miss me?
20:33
Well, what would you consider the ultimate like?
20:36
I mean, 240 schmills ain't nothing to ride home.
20:40
No, no, I know that. I'm talking about like the types
20:42
of people and the types of investments that are getting.
20:44
In oh, like it's the involvement with the people.
20:46
'S mind spending. Versus real estate, what is more
20:49
of? What I'm getting at, because he
20:51
has enough money where he's going to get, like you said, all
20:53
this endorsement money plus the contract he's already getting
20:55
with the Dodgers, Like how much more other investments are you
20:58
going to make? You just got.
20:58
To be careful. Nobody's attacking him for the
21:00
investment, said he's putting if it, if it's a fair investment
21:04
and he's not scheming something or he's not involved with the
21:07
scheme, all the power to him. Invest what you want.
21:10
Do whatever the hell you want. You want to stamp your name to
21:12
it, do it, Errol. So here's the thing.
21:15
This is where you can defend Otani.
21:17
I'm not. I'm not defending.
21:18
I'm I'm. Let let me let me say this
21:20
because you need to hear who Belalo is.
21:23
He's the head of the baseball division of CAA.
21:26
He's not just some random agent that he's in bed with, He's one
21:30
of the top 50 most powerful agents in all sports six years
21:34
in a row according to this article I have open here from
21:37
him. I mean, he's talking up how
21:39
great he is in this article. CAAA is the one that might be in
21:45
the biggest amount of trouble right here.
21:46
No, they're. Not what are they doing making
21:49
land deals, using their guys as leverage to, to try to like
21:54
strong arm land real estate deals.
21:56
That is, I mean, that's a big time money.
22:01
I mean, we're seeing 240 million sued just from two guys.
22:04
There's a lot more than that money wise going on here.
22:07
If that's the only thing that we've seen so far, it's there's
22:11
something interesting going on at CAA and I think that people
22:14
are going to start paying a lot closer attention because this
22:17
guy, it wasn't just some rogue agent.
22:20
He's in charge of the entire baseball division, then.
22:22
CAA is one of the high profiled agencies in the world.
22:28
They're they're top three. Are they in trouble?
22:31
No, because baseball is connected with them.
22:34
Baseball, half of their players are probably working with CAA.
22:38
So I, I think obviously these guys are going to be paid off or
22:42
something's going to be done where things are going to be
22:45
brushed under the rug. Baseball's not even their
22:47
biggest department. Right.
22:48
No, no, football and basketball are and I know a couple of
22:52
basketball players. You know, Actor actors is how it
22:55
started. That's why it's Creative Artists
22:57
Agency. No, I know.
22:59
Yeah, there's, there's the the modeling and the acting is one
23:02
of the biggest parts. I said no to them, by the way.
23:06
New York is and LA are two very big places that they are very
23:11
popular in, especially their agencies.
23:13
And if you go and check it out in LA, Hollywood is, is one of
23:17
their agencies and the other one is in Manhattan, right Square in
23:20
the heart of Manhattan is CAA and the their agency.
23:24
How do I know this? Well, I've been on the phone
23:26
with a couple of their agents over the last couple of years.
23:30
So I know a little bit about CAA and I know they're a big
23:34
organization that has very has a lot of connections when it comes
23:39
to professional athletes, not just baseball, but basketball
23:41
and football. But again, going back to Otani
23:44
and my thoughts to Otani is to me what baseball needs to do is
23:51
sit down with this kid. He has a kid, he's 3031 years
23:54
old. We all know he's making $100
23:57
million a year off his endorsements and his
24:00
sponsorships. Sit down with the kid and say to
24:02
him, listen, you are the face of professional baseball worldwide.
24:09
If you are going to be the face of our organization, you need to
24:14
put yourself around people that are going to make you grow, not
24:19
bring you down. And I'm not saying CAA and Nez
24:23
Blaylo is, is a guy that'll put you down, but obviously he was
24:27
using his name to scheme something to make him more
24:30
money. That to me tells me you need to
24:33
stay away from this guy. You need to stay away from CAA.
24:36
You need to stay away from guys that are going to use your name
24:39
to benefit themselves and not benefit you.
24:41
And right now, for where the story is going, he is his name
24:46
stamped all over this. So it tells me baseball needs to
24:50
investigate it. Because if they're going to tell
24:53
me right now that this man knew nothing about this, that's a
24:57
lie. It's an absolute lie.
24:59
And by the way, Carl, Carl was saying asking.
25:03
Asking isn't Atani's current deal deferred, meaning he isn't
25:08
making that much now. But it's is, I mean, is owed the
25:12
ridiculous amount later. He is, yes, he's getting
25:16
deferred money in the future. He's making $100 million a year
25:19
in endorsements and sponsors. So by the time he gets his
25:22
deferred money, he's already going to be a billionaire if
25:26
he's not already with some of the moves in some of the
25:29
endorsements that he's he's making money off of right now.
25:32
So he's already the richest baseball player in professional
25:36
baseball. There's nobody even close to
25:38
him, even Juan Soto making 60 million a year.
25:41
And, and Juan Soto is getting the money upfront.
25:44
He's still making more money than Juan Soto is yearly without
25:48
even getting his money from the Dodgers.
25:50
So yeah, it when you when you're talking about a guy that's
25:53
bringing in ridiculous money. And obviously it would bother me
25:56
if I was a professional baseball player like Aaron Judge or any
25:59
of these guys. And you're hearing this story.
26:02
And this guy, this is the second story in two years that he is a
26:06
part of. And again, this story is going
26:09
to be brushed under the rug that he has nothing to do with or his
26:12
name's just stamped to it and nobody cares.
26:14
Cares that Otani has been a part of these stories.
26:16
Well. Let me ask you, why would it
26:18
bother you? It's not affecting your money.
26:20
It's not bothering me. It's bothering me, no.
26:22
I'm saying you said if it was, if you were a player in the
26:25
league, like, why would it bother you?
26:26
Why would it bother Aaron Judge? Who cares?
26:29
You ask them, but it's. It's not affecting his money.
26:32
What Otani does does not affect Aaron Judge's money.
26:35
It's it's affecting the league's integrity, is it not?
26:39
Well, if nothing happens to him, no it doesn't.
26:42
I think. All these guys getting in
26:43
trouble in the NFL, you don't think that affects integrity?
26:46
They're still making billions of dollars.
26:48
You think they care? No, there are players out there
26:52
that absolutely care. As we all know, some of these
26:55
veteran players that are retired are stepping in and wondering
26:58
why these players are making the money that they're making now.
27:01
And they weren't making anywhere close to that kind of money in
27:04
the 90s and the early 2000s. But obviously with the the CBA
27:09
and, and all these different TV deals, the money is starting to
27:11
pour in. So job, I understand what you're
27:13
saying, but the players, you're going to tell me that there's
27:16
over 250 or 300 players in the major leagues, they're not going
27:19
to care that Otani is a part of these stories.
27:22
And and Otani has been a part of all these all these stories that
27:26
could turn into something that's going to smack baseball in the
27:29
face. Obviously sport you're wrong
27:31
because sports betting is right now it's growing legs around the
27:35
country in professional sports. And he's if you're if you're
27:38
looking at that story, he's invested more money in sports
27:41
betting than any professional athlete.
27:44
And it was brushed under the rug and the FBI was investigating it
27:47
for two weeks when they were offshore accounts all over.
27:51
And they were. How many accounts does Cheryl
27:53
Tony have 5-6 accountants and none of them came out and said
27:57
anything that he didn't know that 20 something $1,000,000 was
28:00
missing out of his accounts. Now come on, Joppa, you're going
28:03
to tell me that players weren't saying something.
28:05
We've had guys on this show before you even game on the show
28:08
that were attacking Shay Otani. I don't I don't know them, but
28:11
it I I think you do shits who's who's the guy?
28:14
I think they're less. Who's the guy that brought up to
28:17
Shay Otani? Speedy?
28:18
I'm just saying. I'm just saying, me personally,
28:20
I don't know anybody else. I can't speak for other people.
28:23
For me, what he does in his time with his money, it doesn't
28:26
affect. Me, I know.
28:28
I know who it was. It was Mike Pinto, one of the
28:30
times we had. Him.
28:31
It wasn't Pinto, wasn't it, actually?
28:32
What the hell is that? It was.
28:34
Who's the guy? The, the, the, I forget the
28:39
mathematical guy. He Jabba knows him.
28:41
He was talking about steroids. Oh, Ryan Spader, Ryan Spader.
28:44
Ryan Spader. Ryan Spader took shots at Shay
28:50
Otani and Ryan Spader is very well respected around the
28:52
baseball world. Spader is my dude.
28:54
We we go at it all the. Time and Ryan Spader had came
28:57
out and said that there's no doubt in his mind that Shay
28:59
Otani knew that he was in. He was so knees deep into that
29:04
scandal. He said there is no way Shay
29:07
Otani didn't know that there was 18 to $20 million missing out of
29:10
his account. There's no way even a rich guy
29:13
like that, you can't tell me that he, he didn't know that $20
29:16
million was missing out of his account.
29:19
I mean even you job, you're going to tell me if you had $100
29:23
million, you didn't know that 2012 or $20 million was missing
29:27
out of your account? Yeah, I mean I but this has
29:29
nothing to do. It doesn't affect me, so why do
29:31
I care? It doesn't affect you, but it it
29:35
in other players eyes, it does affect them in their eyes.
29:38
They listen, I'll get a baseball player on this show and I don't
29:41
care if you OK. One that I know.
29:45
Kevin Mensch, he was on the show, you know.
29:47
Yeah, I know. Yeah, OK.
29:49
Keep going. Like, give me Kevin Mensch
29:52
didn't make $100 million. But that's not the point.
29:56
What We're talking about baseball players that played in
29:59
the Major League. And that's but that's their own
30:01
opinion. It doesn't affect.
30:02
I, I, I, I know it doesn't affect you.
30:05
That's not my argument here. My argument here is that it does
30:10
bother players and it does affect them.
30:12
Maybe it doesn't affect you, but it's affected or has affected
30:16
other players in the league. Now.
30:18
Now, if I had a list of guys that said yes or no, then I
30:21
could tell you, oh, this guy said it, that guy said it, but
30:24
you're one guy that says it doesn't affect you, so you don't
30:27
care. But I'm sure there's a list of
30:29
players that have come out and said that has affected them.
30:33
Maybe not their money, but it's affected the game and the
30:35
integrity of the game. That's what I'm saying anyways.
30:40
We could go back and forth on this.
30:41
All right, ladies and gentlemen, our deuce of the day.
30:44
The deuce of the day, You log. Not a log.
30:47
I don't have a log, but no. Oh, right.
30:57
The deuce of the day. And we got to go quick because
30:59
our guest is waiting. Our deuce of the day goes to
31:01
Shidor Sanders. Ladies and gentlemen.
31:03
Shidor Sanders is out and about as a story comes out that he
31:09
injured himself. Yes, he's injured and could be
31:11
out a significant amount of time.
31:13
As we've heard, the backup quarterback of the backup
31:17
quarterback of the backup quarterback are now injured.
31:22
Who's left, ladies and gentlemen?
31:23
The one and very own Joe Flacco as all Dylan Gabriel.
31:30
Who's the other guy? Kenny Pick.
31:31
Kenny Pick and now should door Sanders.
31:35
All three of them are injured and could be out a significant
31:38
amount of time. Obviously he tweaked them.
31:41
What was it? I think he tweaked his his
31:44
oblique, which is I don't know how bad it is for football.
31:48
I know for wide receivers and tight ends.
31:50
They're bad for quarterbacks. I don't know I I who's the last
31:54
quarterback that that. Cam Newton I think had.
31:57
One, was it Cam Newton? I think it was.
31:59
Was it Russell Wilson? Maybe you're right, yeah.
32:01
It was Russell Wilson, I think was the last quarterback that I
32:03
can remember that pulled in oblique muscle and was out a
32:07
significant amount of time. But obviously this is a pretty
32:13
significant injury. And what does that tell you
32:16
about the Cleveland Browns? Well, six quarterbacks on the
32:19
roster might not be enough. They might have to add 1 or
32:23
maybe even two more to a roster. Think about this right now.
32:27
Going into pre season, they had six quarterbacks on their
32:31
roster. Now you have 3 quarterbacks that
32:34
are hurt. Could you imagine them have 8 or
32:37
9 quarterbacks to a roster? It, it, I mean, it's it's
32:40
absolutely astonishing the way the the way the Browns are
32:45
running their organization right now.
32:46
And the only one that's healthy is the old man himself, the guy
32:50
that came off his parent sofa, Joe Flacco.
32:54
So my deuce of the day goes not to Shadora Sanders.
32:56
No, no, no. The Cleveland Browns.
32:59
That's the deuce of the day. How stupid could an organization
33:03
be as they keep adding quarterback after quarterback
33:07
after quarterback and now another 1A youngster who could
33:12
be out a significant amount of time.
33:13
That's it for our show, ladies and gentlemen.
33:15
I hope everybody enjoyed it. I didn't.
33:18
Anyways, thank you to our very special guests.
33:23
They were fantastic. They really were.
33:25
I I appreciate both of them. I will say this, I I'm
33:30
definitely going to reach out to Bob Rathben for joining us.
33:34
He's sensational. He really was.
33:36
And and Mr. Lovic, dude, I've been dealing with my own shit
33:40
during the show. I don't know if you guys would
33:42
have done the show when you when you get a freaking text the way
33:45
you did knowing that your sister's in the hospital.
33:47
So I've been dealing with that over the last 4 1/2 hours.
33:52
I don't know if I'm going to Saint John's after this.
33:54
I might, I might do that. I don't know.
33:56
