- 2:41Speaker 1: in here solving all, well not all of life's problems.
- 2:45Speaker 1: So'll just be making the world a better place. That's
- 2:48Speaker 1: that's the claim, making the world a better place. Our
- 2:51Speaker 1: lead this hour, though, from the frozen tundra where it's
- 2:57Speaker 1: icy cold, and then occasionally tornadoes come down well adjacent
- 3:01Speaker 1: over there in Appleton. So the Packers recently opened up
- 3:06Speaker 1: the books and it was a mixed back. So people
- 3:10Speaker 1: been dissecting, getting the magnifying glass out and checking this.
- 3:15Speaker 1: So if you you didn't see this, perhaps not. The
- 3:17Speaker 1: question is is the glass half full or half empty?
- 3:21Speaker 1: For the team in northern Wisconsin. So the Cheeseheads, this
- 3:25Speaker 1: is wild, some of the numbers here, and it's really
- 3:27Speaker 1: cool to look at this. Even if you don't like math,
- 3:30Speaker 1: it's still fun. So the Cheeseheads reported record total revenue,
- 3:35Speaker 1: all right, record total revenue seven hundred and fifty three
- 3:39Speaker 1: million dollars for the fiscal year of twenty twenty six.
- 3:44Speaker 1: All right, so that's that seems pretty good. That seems
- 3:46Speaker 1: pretty good, but you know what that means. Somehow, they
- 3:50Speaker 1: claim they managed to lose one point one million, a
- 3:55Speaker 1: one point one million operating loss. If you think that's all.
- 4:01Speaker 1: It's the first time the Packers have had an operating
- 4:04Speaker 1: loss since nineteen eighty nine. And now that obviously doesn't
- 4:10Speaker 1: include the pandemic because you throw those numbers out in
- 4:12Speaker 1: nineteen eighty nine. So the new CEO of the Green
- 4:16Speaker 1: Bay Football team ED policy. That sounds like a fake name, right,
- 4:20Speaker 1: ED policy. That's the guy's name. I did not make
- 4:24Speaker 1: that up. ED policy. Warning, warning, warning, Wanning warning from
- 4:29Speaker 1: ED policy. He warned of the long term NFL economic
- 4:34Speaker 1: trends which are not good, not good for Green Bay,
- 4:39Speaker 1: saying they quote can pose a threat to our long
- 4:43Speaker 1: term financial health. You know where this is going, don't you? Yeah?
- 4:48Speaker 1: All right, so that is a good jumping off point.
- 4:50Speaker 1: Let us discuss the question. You've got the Green Bay
- 4:55Speaker 1: CEO ED policy warning about a bad financial outlook if
- 5:02Speaker 1: you look down the road there long term economics for
- 5:05Speaker 1: the Packers franchise. What is your interpretation of the financial
- 5:11Speaker 1: situation involving the cheese sead. So I've got Crayola, mad Max,
- 5:17Speaker 1: Fury Road and Great Outdoors, and we will combine all
- 5:23Speaker 1: of these things together and we are going to give
- 5:26Speaker 1: you a plate of delicious cheese curds right out of
- 5:31Speaker 1: the cheese castle there down in Kenosha. That's what we're
- 5:34Speaker 1: gonna do. Oh delicious, all right? So number one, one,
- 5:39Speaker 1: one on one. It's also is the amount of money
- 5:41Speaker 1: the packers lost one point one million one all right.
- 5:46Speaker 1: So as McDonald's used to say, you deserve a break today.
- 5:51Speaker 1: Give me a break, Give me a break. Okay, the
- 5:54Speaker 1: Packers crying about this, it's kind of like Jeff Bezos
- 5:59Speaker 1: complaining about uber surge pricing. It's for gaze, is what
- 6:05Speaker 1: it is. It's it's fugazi, it's fairy dust. Whatever they
- 6:08Speaker 1: said there on the Wolf of Wall Street. Now I
- 6:10Speaker 1: looked at the numbers here. Using some malormath, they pulled
- 6:14Speaker 1: in the Green Bay Football team four hundred and fifty
- 6:17Speaker 1: three million dollars, the same amount the Dallas Cowboys, the
- 6:22Speaker 1: New York Giants, the New England Patriots, Minnesota Viking, Seattle Seahawks,
- 6:25Speaker 1: La Rams, forty nine Ers, every other team got. That
- 6:28Speaker 1: is the chunk of change from the national TV money.
- 6:32Speaker 1: Every team was given four hundred and fifty three million
- 6:35Speaker 1: dollars from national media revenue in the NFL. That is,
- 6:41Speaker 1: before opening the gates, before selling a ticket, before selling
- 6:43Speaker 1: an overpriced beer or hot dogs or nachos or pretzels
- 6:46Speaker 1: or any of that stuff. You're giving a check you
- 6:50Speaker 1: don't having saw the single cheesehead or cheese fondue, and
- 6:54Speaker 1: you've got four hundred and fifty three million. Now, the
- 6:56Speaker 1: Packers spent two hundred and ninety million dollars on player payroll. Okay,
- 7:01Speaker 1: that seems like a lot. Now, what is the difference
- 7:03Speaker 1: If you take four hundred and fifty three million and
- 7:07Speaker 1: you grab a giant chunk of that four hundred and
- 7:10Speaker 1: fifty three million dollars two hundred, you take two hundred
- 7:13Speaker 1: and ninety million away, So you end up with one
- 7:15Speaker 1: hundred and sixty three million if my malor math is correct,
- 7:18Speaker 1: and that is left. And then but that doesn't include
- 7:21Speaker 1: the local revenue. Somehow, in sleepy Green Bay, the packers
- 7:25Speaker 1: ended up with three hundred million dollars in local revenue.
- 7:30Speaker 1: Three hundred million. They get all the revenue from Lake Winnebago,
- 7:34Speaker 1: Like what's going on there? Anyway, The net income jumped
- 7:39Speaker 1: nearly fifty five percent the net income on that. That
- 7:43Speaker 1: left a total amount if you take away the player salary,
- 7:47Speaker 1: and then you add in the local revenue of four
- 7:50Speaker 1: hundred and it's four to sixty three million to cover
- 7:54Speaker 1: expenses four or sixty three million. So we're supposed to
- 7:58Speaker 1: believe this sky is falling. The long term health of
- 8:02Speaker 1: the packers is not good. Here, can someone please pass
- 8:05Speaker 1: me the tiny cheese shaped foam violin. So I can
- 8:10Speaker 1: play a couple of bars here for the package. Maybe
- 8:12Speaker 1: we's just start a GoFundMe page. How about a GoFundMe.
- 8:15Speaker 1: We gonna have a bake sale. I'll bake up some cookies,
- 8:18Speaker 1: some funfetti cookies, and we'll bake those up. Why not?
- 8:21Speaker 1: And Green Bay does not have a revenue problem. It
- 8:25Speaker 1: appears they have a stop lighting money on fire problem.
- 8:29Speaker 1: That that's the issue here. The books are not bleeding
- 8:33Speaker 1: the way I read it, They're not bleeding there in
- 8:34Speaker 1: Green Bay. They're just written with green and gold Crayola crayons.
- 8:40Speaker 1: So if you're that bad at budgeting and you're struggling
- 8:45Speaker 1: with half a billion in clear profit and you can't
- 8:50Speaker 1: figure out, hey, let's make sure we have the right
- 8:52Speaker 1: number of employees that we can make money and we
- 8:56Speaker 1: have a limited amount to spend. Seriously, hire someone that
- 9:02Speaker 1: can count past ten without taking off their shoes. Okay,
- 9:07Speaker 1: I'm just saying. I'm just saying, all right, not page two.
- 9:10Speaker 1: So back to the CEO because this is interesting to me,
- 9:14Speaker 1: and I think it's interesting to you. This guy ed
- 9:16Speaker 1: policy the CEO in Green Bay. He complained that the
- 9:19Speaker 1: packers are at a disadvantage boo hooooo because of the
- 9:24Speaker 1: NFL's being the NFL's only publicly owned team, meaning they
- 9:29Speaker 1: cannot access the private equity funds that all these other
- 9:35Speaker 1: NFL teams seemingly have endless amounts of money, and so
- 9:39Speaker 1: they don't have access to that, no private equity or
- 9:43Speaker 1: billionaire boys club ownership capital that they can grab out of.
- 9:48Speaker 1: And they're saying like other franchises have access to according
- 9:52Speaker 1: to ed Policy quote this atm machine that we just
- 9:54Speaker 1: don't what a sob story. So this led to the
- 9:58Speaker 1: inevitable chatter that the Packers could change status from an
- 10:05Speaker 1: ownership set up where the people own the team for
- 10:09Speaker 1: the people, by the people, all about the people, go
- 10:13Speaker 1: from that and then have a private setup. So the
- 10:18Speaker 1: question could the Packers, the Green Bay Packers really be
- 10:25Speaker 1: sold and no longer be a public franchise to a
- 10:28Speaker 1: private owner in order to boost cash flow. So if
- 10:33Speaker 1: you look I answer it this way. So if you
- 10:35Speaker 1: look at the multiverse, we know that anything is possible.
- 10:39Speaker 1: There's many dimensions, and there is a dimension where the
- 10:41Speaker 1: Packers are sold to some guy from Dubai and then
- 10:45Speaker 1: that's it. But as ALF likes to say, in reality,
- 10:50Speaker 1: the malarads of the green Bay Packers being ripped out
- 10:56Speaker 1: of the public sector and put into the private sector
- 10:58Speaker 1: are plus five thousand. That is a whopping two percent chance.
- 11:06Speaker 1: Two percent chance that's the case the Packers going private.
- 11:10Speaker 1: This is actually the other owners forbidden fantasy. I hear
- 11:16Speaker 1: this years ago, so it's not like this is all
- 11:18Speaker 1: of a sudden, a new revelation from Pigskin Nation green
- 11:22Speaker 1: Bay's public ownership, which has been this way for seemingly
- 11:26Speaker 1: forever my entire life. The public ownership providing the only
- 11:31Speaker 1: look behind the curtain at how they make the sausage,
- 11:35Speaker 1: the only one into finances in the NFL, and it ruins.
- 11:41Speaker 1: The reason this is the forbidden fantasy for the other
- 11:43Speaker 1: NFL owners is it ruins the oligarchs. Hey, we're broke.
- 11:47Speaker 1: We're broke routine when squeezing taxpayers. That would be you
- 11:51Speaker 1: and me, assuming you pay your taxes. I pay mine.
- 11:55Speaker 1: I wish I didn't, but I don't want to go
- 11:56Speaker 1: to jail for that, so I've decided to pay my taxes.
- 11:59Speaker 1: But that's just the way I am. A TV example,
- 12:02Speaker 1: the difference you juxtapose the NFL to Major League Baseball.
- 12:05Speaker 1: Major League Baseball owners are bitching and complaining that they're
- 12:08Speaker 1: all poor. They're losing money, right, tightwad teams like the
- 12:11Speaker 1: Pirates and the Athletics and teams like that, Oh, we're
- 12:15Speaker 1: losing money. You know what they don't do. They don't
- 12:19Speaker 1: open the books because they're not losing money. They're not
- 12:23Speaker 1: and they're making gobs of money. And are they making
- 12:26Speaker 1: as much as the Yankees and Dodgers. Probably not, probably not,
- 12:29Speaker 1: But they're making money. They're making money. And so this
- 12:32Speaker 1: set up in the NFL is so special, it's so
- 12:36Speaker 1: unique that we get to look at this and figure
- 12:40Speaker 1: it out ourselves. And unfortunately, many it doesn't matter that
- 12:46Speaker 1: the NFL releases the books because there's plenty of crooked
- 12:48Speaker 1: politicians that don't have any problem giving away your money
- 12:51Speaker 1: and my money. So to actually sell, and this is
- 12:55Speaker 1: why it's a long shot of long shots, as I
- 12:57Speaker 1: understand it. To sell the Packers, the NFL would have
- 13:01Speaker 1: to completely rewrite the rules. They would have to dismantle
- 13:05Speaker 1: green Bay's corporate bylaws, untangle the massive nonprofit tax nightmare
- 13:12Speaker 1: that that would be for the green Bay football team,
- 13:15Speaker 1: and somehow somehow convince five hundred thousand men and women
- 13:22Speaker 1: shareholders of the green Bay Packers to vote yes. We
- 13:26Speaker 1: need a private owner. We're going to get rid of you.
- 13:30Speaker 1: We're gonna get rid of you, is what we're going
- 13:34Speaker 1: to do. So just vote yes. We don't need you
- 13:37Speaker 1: vote yes on your own x execution if you will, so,
- 13:43Speaker 1: good luck, good luck on that. Not a vote, that's
- 13:45Speaker 1: a seance, that's what that is. And without those bylaws,
- 13:50Speaker 1: this green Bay Packer franchise becomes mad Max Fury Road
- 13:54Speaker 1: is what it becomes. It's a post apocalyptic movie. The
- 13:58Speaker 1: Green Bay Packers, You mark my word. If that Packer team,
- 14:01Speaker 1: if they change the rules and the buy laws and
- 14:03Speaker 1: they find a way to finagle out of the public ownership,
- 14:07Speaker 1: the lambeau Field site there in Green Bay will become
- 14:12Speaker 1: a corporate sacrifice pit. Five years post sale. Five years
- 14:18Speaker 1: post sale, there'll be a pickleball megaplex where lambeau Field
- 14:21Speaker 1: is right now, and a have a giant Minard's logo
- 14:25Speaker 1: on it right out in front the size of the
- 14:27Speaker 1: state of Wisconsin. And in the parking lot at Lambeau
- 14:31Speaker 1: they'll have a BUCkies in the parking lot there so
- 14:35Speaker 1: you can get your beaver Nuggets at the where Lambeau
- 14:37Speaker 1: is right now, within five years of that team, because
- 14:39Speaker 1: then I stay in green Bay. You kidding me, No chance, Gonzo,
- 14:44Speaker 1: see you later. We wanted to stay, we just couldn't
- 14:46Speaker 1: get what we need and we have to go somewhere
- 14:48Speaker 1: else we need. Nobody wants to live in green Bay.
- 14:50Speaker 1: The players don't want to live the whole all that crap,
- 14:52Speaker 1: all right, final point, speaking of living in green Bay
- 14:56Speaker 1: to the injury tent, we go the top paid defensive
- 14:59Speaker 1: st in the National Football League down for the count
- 15:04Speaker 1: as training camp gets going here in twenty twenty six,
- 15:07Speaker 1: reports say Packers Packers star former Cowboy Packers star edge
- 15:12Speaker 1: rusher Micah Parsons unlikely unlikely to return before week number
- 15:19Speaker 1: four of the NFL season as he continues recovering from
- 15:24Speaker 1: his torn ACL So there was some chatter that may
- 15:29Speaker 1: come back earlier. Maybe is a weasel word. It sounds
- 15:34Speaker 1: like he's not gonna be back anytime soon. Suffered that
- 15:38Speaker 1: injury in mid December for the Green Bay Packers. The
- 15:41Speaker 1: timeline optimistic people were saying, Oh, no, it's gonna change,
- 15:45Speaker 1: it's gonna be better. No, it has not changed. And
- 15:48Speaker 1: so with Parsons sidelined early, the Packers expected to lean
- 15:54Speaker 1: more heavily on someone named Lucas van Ness. I have
- 15:58Speaker 1: no idea who that is. I have no idea who
- 16:01Speaker 1: Lucas van s is. And the chatter is they're looking
- 16:04Speaker 1: to go out and acquire someone else to fill the
- 16:07Speaker 1: shoes of Micah Parsons at least early in the season.
- 16:10Speaker 1: So the question is, what is your level of concern.
- 16:14Speaker 1: Give me your level of concern on Micah Parson's return
- 16:18Speaker 1: to the green Bay Packers. And it does not seem
- 16:22Speaker 1: like he's gonna be back the first quarter of the season.
- 16:25Speaker 1: So on the Malor scale of concern, one to ten,
- 16:29Speaker 1: with ten being we are absolutely flying into a boiling cauldron.
- 16:34Speaker 1: We're cooked. I'm going to three. I'm gonna be Benny
- 16:39Speaker 1: Brighteside in this in part. I'm gonna be Benny bright Side,
- 16:43Speaker 1: not all the way. Here's why. If you look at
- 16:46Speaker 1: the schedule, that is the dead what dead gi what? Yeah,
- 16:52Speaker 1: you have the Ferrara candy mix you've got for the
- 16:55Speaker 1: Packers earlier that you've got sweet tarts, laughy taffy and funding. Yep,
- 17:00Speaker 1: that's who green Bay plays early in the season. Otherwise
- 17:03Speaker 1: known as alligator arms Murray in the Minnesota Vikings quarterback
- 17:08Speaker 1: who's expected to start Week one the Jets. That's the
- 17:11Speaker 1: Laffy Taffy and the Atlanta Falcons. That's the fun dep
- 17:14Speaker 1: with to a tongue of I looa. And so it's
- 17:18Speaker 1: funny how the urgency meter for Micah Parsons, though, changes
- 17:23Speaker 1: after this direct deposit thing kicks in there. And that's
- 17:26Speaker 1: the story. We talked about this in a previous episode
- 17:28Speaker 1: of the show. It does seem like before the contract,
- 17:32Speaker 1: before that contract, Parsons was like, I'm gonna crawl from
- 17:35Speaker 1: broken glass to get my ass out there playing some ball.
- 17:40Speaker 1: I am I want to play. Now he was one
- 17:44Speaker 1: of He's not the highest pay anymore. He was one
- 17:46Speaker 1: of the highest paid defensive players in the NFL, Micah Parsons.
- 17:50Speaker 1: And so now it's like, well, let's be smart here.
- 17:53Speaker 1: I know, no need to rush it out of an
- 17:55Speaker 1: abundance of caution. Why not? And every extra week on
- 18:00Speaker 1: the rehab is just being cautious. We are just being cautious.
- 18:05Speaker 1: It's amazing how patience becomes a virtue when you've got
- 18:10Speaker 1: those giant cartoon checks that you are depositing every couple
- 18:15Speaker 1: of weeks in your bank account. There. So the packers
- 18:17Speaker 1: are paying for Micah Parsons, the super duper superstar, and
- 18:24Speaker 1: early on they're what are they getting? Well, they're getting
- 18:27Speaker 1: Micah Parsons, who's visiting the great outdoors. That's the Micah
- 18:31Speaker 1: Parsons here, as he is highly compensated as a spectator
- 18:37Speaker 1: in the injury tent. And it sure feels like once
- 18:40Speaker 1: the bag was secured for Micah Parsons, the accelerator got
- 18:45Speaker 1: replaced by the cruise control. Just see a couple buttons
- 18:48Speaker 1: on your steering where you got the cruise control right there.
- 18:50Speaker 1: And just go study, Just go study, and you follow
- 18:54Speaker 1: the breaking bad wisdom. The breaking bad wisdom. I'll get
- 18:59Speaker 1: there when I get there. And Parsons, I just want
- 19:02Speaker 1: to be able to play and all that. Now I said,
- 19:05Speaker 1: I'm not too concerned because the package, if they can't
- 19:07Speaker 1: beat off alligator Arms, Murray and the Jets and the Falcons,
- 19:11Speaker 1: then they're gonna suck anyway. So who cares? It is

- 27:26Speaker 1: have seen just I told so on my podcast. Somebody
- 27:29Speaker 1: the neighborhood left these really nice chairs out in front
- 27:32Speaker 1: of the house and and they're like really kind of
- 27:34Speaker 1: expensive and they were just out there for one day
- 27:36Speaker 1: and I and I wanted them, and then we waited
- 27:38Speaker 1: a couple more days, and yeah, I took a couple
- 27:41Speaker 1: of chairs off somebody's they left it out. It was
- 27:43Speaker 1: free if they outside. That's what it means. Yeah, yeah, exactly. Yeah.
- 27:48Speaker 1: In fact, I heard from one of my buddies after
- 27:50Speaker 1: I did that podcast that there are people who are
- 27:54Speaker 1: from the wrong side of the tracks or whatever who
- 27:56Speaker 1: will drive around neighborhoods in Beverly Hills just waiting for
- 28:00Speaker 1: people to put furniture out because they'll put it. They'll
- 28:02Speaker 1: throw away ten thousand dollars furniture, really nice stuff, and
- 28:06Speaker 1: you can get really good friends. So we men, Yeah,

- 39:26Speaker 2: It was reported on Monday that Steph Curry could use
- 39:28Speaker 2: his upcoming free agency as leverage against the team. He
- 39:31Speaker 2: might try to quote force the Warriors to build the
- 39:33Speaker 2: best possible team around him.
- 39:35Speaker 1: It's a weird report on it. Yeah, but who came
- 39:38Speaker 1: up with that one? What shocking? Ben? Do you think
- 39:42Speaker 1: there's any chance Steph leaves the Warriors? Absolutely? These guys
- 39:46Speaker 1: there's no loyalty, nor should there, Billy be that much loyalty.
- 39:50Speaker 1: These guys bounce all over the place. I could see
- 39:52Speaker 1: Steph Curry going to the Charlotte Hornets. They have a
- 39:55Speaker 1: good team. They were on the on the com as
- 39:57Speaker 1: they say in gambling, and if they have a good
- 39:58Speaker 1: year this year, Curry's dad played there. He's a broadcast
- 40:02Speaker 1: over the team. Keep an eye on that next.
- 40:04Speaker 2: Another report this week says that the Dallas Mavericks have
- 40:06Speaker 2: continued to rebuff trade inquiries for Kyrie Irving. And are
- 40:09Speaker 2: dead set on beginning of the season with Kyrie alongside
- 40:12Speaker 2: Rookie of the Year Cooper Flag. Ben, do you think
- 40:14Speaker 2: this is a bad idea by Dallas. I think that
- 40:16Speaker 2: report is bogus.
- 40:18Speaker 1: It's kind of a lull period right now in the NBA,
- 40:21Speaker 1: and it's that late July early on. Because I think Kyrie,
- 40:25Speaker 1: I'd be surprised if he's in Dallas. I don't think
- 40:27Speaker 1: they should keep him. The guys there's a lot of
- 40:29Speaker 1: stuff with Kyrie. Just send him somewhere else. The Mavericks
- 40:32Speaker 1: are going to be exciting, but they're not going to
- 40:33Speaker 1: be good. There's a difference.
- 40:35Speaker 2: Next, Baker Mayfield continues to wait for a contract extension
- 40:38Speaker 2: from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but it's being reported that
- 40:40Speaker 2: he is not afraid of the franchise tag.
- 40:42Speaker 1: Ben, do you think Mayfield gets an extension or a tag.
- 40:44Speaker 1: I can't believe he's not afraid of the franchise tag
- 40:46Speaker 1: where they're gonn pay him like forty million dollars for
- 40:48Speaker 1: one season guaranteed. I don't think he's gonna get the contract.
- 40:52Speaker 1: So if he has a bad year, he'll be gone
- 40:54Speaker 1: to we play somewhere else next year. How'd we know
- 40:57Speaker 1: he passes
- 41:00Speaker 2: Check and get up
