3:51
Speaker 2: Is this is opening day in Major League Baseball?
3:56
Speaker 1: Are you excited? No, you're not.
3:58
Speaker 3: You're not.
3:58
Speaker 1: It's Opening Wednesday. It's I guess this is the Netflix
4:03
Speaker 1: paid extra for this or something like that. I guess.
4:05
Speaker 2: All right, Well, at the start a soft launch of
4:09
Speaker 2: the Major League Baseball season, as they will begin, and
4:13
Speaker 2: they'll be playing all the way until late October early November.
4:18
Speaker 2: And that is that just one game, you got. Max
4:21
Speaker 2: Freed gets the opening day start for the New York Yankees,
4:26
Speaker 2: and they're in San Francisco taking on Logan Web and
4:29
Speaker 2: the Higantes and the Yankees a slight favorite on the
4:34
Speaker 2: money line, a slight favorite on the money line in
4:37
Speaker 2: that game. However, our lead is not from the Yankees
4:39
Speaker 2: and the Giants. It's from Chicago, the Cubbies squeezing together
4:43
Speaker 2: a big money, big money, big money hope, no Wammy hope,
4:46
Speaker 2: no Wamy hope, stop a contract before the curtain goes
4:50
Speaker 2: up on the season. If you didn't see this, perhaps not.
4:52
Speaker 2: We have officially learned that Pete crow Armstrong doesn't that
4:57
Speaker 2: sound like the lead singer of a nineties early two
5:00
Speaker 2: one thousands band. Pete crow Armstrong gets a new contract
5:04
Speaker 2: extension with the Cops for six years and one hundred
5:09
Speaker 2: and fifteen million dollars. The deal does not begin until
5:15
Speaker 2: twenty twenty seven, so he's going to have to slum
5:17
Speaker 2: it for the next year. And everyone's all excited. They're
5:22
Speaker 2: the baseball writers were orgasmic because they said, oh my god,
5:25
Speaker 2: it doesn't have a club option that allows crow Armstrong
5:30
Speaker 2: to hit the market as a free agent. Before his
5:33
Speaker 2: age thirty one season. Holy bonkers Batman and Tree and
5:39
Speaker 2: Ya Feemi and Faz in Chicago. Yeah, so PCA, who
5:43
Speaker 2: is twenty four today? We don't do shout outs, so
5:47
Speaker 2: I cannot wish a happy birthday. Seems like a pretty
5:49
Speaker 2: good birthday present though, to get one hundred and fifteen
5:51
Speaker 2: million dollar guaranteed contract. So there you go, and that
5:57
Speaker 2: is a good jumping off point. Let us discuss the question.
6:01
Speaker 2: This is being celebrated as a win for the Cubbies,
6:05
Speaker 2: so you make the call. Is this a win for
6:09
Speaker 2: Pete Crow Armstrong, for the Cubs, for both or none
6:15
Speaker 2: of the above. So on this one, my observations, I
6:19
Speaker 2: have parmersan garlic, chicken wings, iPad, and crime lab and
6:26
Speaker 2: we will combine all of these things together and we
6:28
Speaker 2: are going to give you the ABC's and possibly, if
6:31
Speaker 2: we have time, the one two threes.
6:33
Speaker 1: Well, definitely the ABC's number. Wa the number.
6:39
Speaker 2: So ignore what the Wrigleyville marketing department is selling on
6:44
Speaker 2: this one. Here's the real talk, not the guy that
6:48
Speaker 2: used to call show, the real talk on this Pete
6:50
Speaker 2: Crow Armstrong contract with the Cubs. This is venture capital
6:56
Speaker 2: is what this is the Cubs. Just think about like this,
7:00
Speaker 2: they bought a startup after one decent earnings call, just
7:07
Speaker 2: one decent earnings call, and you're in. Pete crow Armstrong
7:12
Speaker 2: is like the app that's got a really nice interface and.
7:15
Speaker 1: You think, boy, this is gonna be really good.
7:17
Speaker 2: It's got speed, and he's a good defensive player, high
7:21
Speaker 2: energy guys, he's got that razmatazz. The fans seem to
7:26
Speaker 2: like him a lot. However, we do not know, We
7:31
Speaker 2: do not know if there's actually any real revenue behind it,
7:35
Speaker 2: Like are these legitimate calories or these empty calories? Who
7:40
Speaker 2: is the real crow Armstrong? And will that PCA please
7:44
Speaker 2: stand up?
7:45
Speaker 1: Now? This is the part that you're not supposed to
7:48
Speaker 1: talk about. You're supposed to celebrate the big contract.
7:51
Speaker 2: However, is it true that Pete crow Armstrong is a
7:56
Speaker 2: one hit wonder? Is it also true that he was
7:59
Speaker 2: a half a season player, that he had twenty five
8:03
Speaker 2: home runs and had seventy one runs batted in mammoth
8:07
Speaker 2: numbers Sammy Sosa like numbers in the first half of
8:12
Speaker 2: the baseball season, and then vanished into Lake Michigan in
8:16
Speaker 2: the second half, just to two to sixteen batting average,
8:19
Speaker 2: just six home runs and twenty five runs batted in
8:23
Speaker 2: in the second half to go from twenty five home
8:25
Speaker 2: runs to six and from seventy one RBIs to twenty five.
8:29
Speaker 2: Who goofed? I've got to know. So we're talking about
8:34
Speaker 2: an HSH player. Now what is an HSH player. I'll
8:38
Speaker 2: tell you a half a season hero, half season hero HSH.
8:46
Speaker 1: And that you know what that is?
8:47
Speaker 2: That is the parmesan garlic chicken wings, the meatballs on toothpicks,
8:52
Speaker 2: but not Stevie meat balls, the finger foods that are
8:56
Speaker 2: not a full meal. So the league, I surmon figured
9:00
Speaker 2: out whatever PCA was doing the first few months of
9:05
Speaker 2: the baseball season and he never adjusted. He never adjusted
9:10
Speaker 2: the rest of the season. And also the snuff aalufogus
9:14
Speaker 2: in the room. Now, what is the snuff of loove
9:17
Speaker 2: igus in the room? Well, the stuffle loove agus in
9:19
Speaker 2: the room? Is that Pete crow Armstrong took the cash out.
9:23
Speaker 2: He took the cash out. And that tells you something.
9:27
Speaker 2: That is that's a tell Now what does it tell you?
9:29
Speaker 2: It tells you in the sporting business, the industrial complex
9:32
Speaker 2: of pro sports, betting on yourself is the ultimate confidence play.
9:39
Speaker 2: And he didn't do that. He didn't bet himself. He
9:42
Speaker 2: chose the buy now price and he decided, I'm not
9:47
Speaker 2: gonna take the risk. And I understand why you would
9:49
Speaker 2: do that, and I would likely do that the same way. However,
9:52
Speaker 2: in that world, you're ashamed. You didn't max out, you
9:55
Speaker 2: didn't go for the gusto. You didn't you didn't show
9:59
Speaker 2: comp finance. You showed risk. Aversion is what you showed.
10:03
Speaker 2: So is that because you don't think you're that good
10:05
Speaker 2: and you realize that you couldn't hit after the All
10:07
Speaker 2: Star break and you got to get the money before
10:09
Speaker 2: the Cubs figure out you can't hit.
10:11
Speaker 1: So, in terms of the actual.
10:12
Speaker 2: Nitty gritty, here on who won the Pete crow Armstrong
10:17
Speaker 2: contract extension using the Mallord scales of justice. And let
10:23
Speaker 2: me tell you something, Mallard scales and justice are never wrong.
10:25
Speaker 2: They are leaning towards Crow Armstrong for a short term win.
10:31
Speaker 2: So Pete crow Armstrong, short term win, guaranteed wealth, garanteed wealth.
10:36
Speaker 2: Now the Cubs you got the long term gambled. There's
10:41
Speaker 2: a long term gamble because if he's just a guy,
10:44
Speaker 2: if he's just a guy, they paid an exorbitant amount
10:50
Speaker 2: of money for a unicorn, and they've got a Clydesdale,
10:55
Speaker 2: and they don't want a Clydesdale. They want they would
10:59
Speaker 2: like to get a nice un with the horn in
11:01
Speaker 2: the whole thing, all right. Now, staying in Chicago, page
11:05
Speaker 2: two here this is a wild one. We head to
11:07
Speaker 2: the South Side, the baddest part of town in Chicago,
11:10
Speaker 2: and that is where we read the Hall of Famer,
11:12
Speaker 2: the Big Hurt Frank Thomas. He's apparently not a fan
11:16
Speaker 2: of the White Sox. Now, how do we know Frank
11:18
Speaker 2: Thomas is not a fan of the White Sox. He's
11:20
Speaker 2: suing the White Sox.
11:22
Speaker 1: Ding ding ding ding ding. Hello, uh, yes, did you
11:25
Speaker 1: see this?
11:26
Speaker 2: No?
11:26
Speaker 3: So.
11:27
Speaker 2: Frank Thomas, Hall of Famer, filed the lawsuit against the
11:30
Speaker 2: Chicago White Sox, a team he played for sixteen of his.
11:34
Speaker 1: Nineteen seasons of the major leagues.
11:37
Speaker 2: The allegation is that the Chicago White Sox did not
11:42
Speaker 2: have authorization to use his likeness on uniforms.
11:49
Speaker 1: Now.
11:49
Speaker 2: The lawsuit, which also named Nike and Fanatics Nike and
11:54
Speaker 2: Fanatics as co defendants, seeking payment in excess of fifty
12:01
Speaker 2: thousand dollars and demanding a jury trial. Demanding a jury trial,
12:07
Speaker 2: Thomas his complaint is because of the City Connect money
12:12
Speaker 2: grab that fanatics and Nike in Major League Baseball have
12:15
Speaker 2: beIN cahots on. Let's come up with extra jerseys and
12:17
Speaker 2: we'll get that dumb money. So the City Connect jerseys
12:22
Speaker 2: with Thomas the White Sox from the lawsuit, They were
12:25
Speaker 2: selling number thirty five jerseys with Thomas on the back,
12:29
Speaker 2: and Thomas's name obviously is Thomas. His number was number
12:34
Speaker 2: thirty five alongside the White Sox trademarked logos and the
12:38
Speaker 2: Nike branding and all that. So the question I'm going
12:42
Speaker 2: to put on my lawyer hat. I'm not a lawyer,
12:44
Speaker 2: but I can play one on the radio. So does
12:46
Speaker 2: Frank Thomas have a winnable case? Does he have a
12:50
Speaker 2: WinBook case against the White Sox fanatics and Nike over
12:54
Speaker 2: violations Coiler lawsuit of the Illinois Right to public Publicity Act?
13:00
Speaker 2: So again, does Thomas Frank Thomas? Does Frank Thomas have
13:03
Speaker 2: a winnable case against the Chicago White Sox fanatics and
13:07
Speaker 2: Nike over violations of the Illinois Right to Publicity Act?
13:12
Speaker 2: So after about twenty two seconds I time my about
13:16
Speaker 2: twenty two seconds of checking this out, I am nodding
13:19
Speaker 2: my head. Yes, I am nodding my head. And Frank
13:23
Speaker 2: Thomas is right, and he still might lose.
13:28
Speaker 1: Huh, what are you talking about. Yeah, he's right. Here's
13:31
Speaker 1: the deal. Here's the deal.
13:33
Speaker 2: So Illinois that this Right to Publicity Act, which is
13:37
Speaker 2: what Thomas is using in the lawsuit.
13:39
Speaker 1: His lawyers are yes.
13:41
Speaker 2: It says clearly that you can't use someone's identity for
13:46
Speaker 2: commercial purposes without proper permission. Just kind of the Major
13:50
Speaker 2: League Baseball broadcast. They have that disclaimer without the express
13:53
Speaker 2: written concertive major League Baseball. Well, the Chicago White Sox
13:57
Speaker 2: needed the express written consent of Frank Thoms. And so
14:01
Speaker 2: you look at this, you've got without that. You used
14:04
Speaker 2: his name, his number, put those things together. That's not
14:08
Speaker 2: very subtle. It's not very subtle. It's in your face.
14:11
Speaker 2: So yes, on an iPad.
14:13
Speaker 1: If you look at the iPad, ding ding ding ding
14:15
Speaker 1: ding textbook violation.
14:17
Speaker 2: So you're nodding your head. I'm nodding my head. We're
14:20
Speaker 2: both nodding our everyone's nodding, nodding like a bibblehead.
14:23
Speaker 1: We're nodding.
14:24
Speaker 2: And now reality walks in and gives you the bird.
14:29
Speaker 2: The bird is the word it gives you the bird.
14:30
Speaker 2: Now the bird is that? Do you think that fanatics
14:35
Speaker 2: major League Baseball, which means the White Sox and Nike,
14:38
Speaker 2: that their lawyers are gonna say, hey, yeah, well, we're
14:44
Speaker 2: absolutely right, We're gonna give you whatever you want.
14:48
Speaker 1: Or are they going to.
14:49
Speaker 2: Say, this isn't Frank Thomas the man, it's a historical
14:53
Speaker 2: team uniform which is property of the Chicago White Sox. Translation,
14:59
Speaker 2: the lawyers will say, we're not actually selling Frank Thomas,
15:02
Speaker 2: We're selling nostalgia and stitching.
15:05
Speaker 1: And of course he'll be up to Major League Baseball to.
15:07
Speaker 2: Get the dumbest people they can possibly find in the
15:10
Speaker 2: Chicago land area who are cub fans and get them
15:15
Speaker 2: on the jury, and that would be perfect right. And
15:19
Speaker 2: courts sometimes will buy the fact that you say, wow,
15:22
Speaker 2: we're selling We're not selling him, We're selling nostalgia. There
15:26
Speaker 2: was a case I remember back in the nineties a
15:28
Speaker 2: bunch of the old Mets players from the nineteen sixty
15:30
Speaker 2: nine Mets sued the Mets and they won like six
15:35
Speaker 2: figures in court in the nineties, won a bunch of money.
15:39
Speaker 2: So sometimes you'll win it. It's really you know, it's
15:42
Speaker 2: up to the jury and all that stuff, and it
15:45
Speaker 2: comes down to licensing spaghetti old agreements, major League Baseball entanglements.
15:53
Speaker 2: Is it possible that Frank Thomas signed some kind of
15:57
Speaker 2: deal back in nineteen ninety three or four while he
16:02
Speaker 2: was eating clubhouse spaghettios and he doesn't remember about it.
16:06
Speaker 2: So Discovery at that point will turn to archaeology, and so, yes,
16:10
Speaker 2: it is winnable. Absolutely, it's a winnable case. It seems
16:13
Speaker 2: pretty open and shut and all that. Is it going
16:18
Speaker 2: to be easy? No, as we laid out, you're going
16:20
Speaker 2: up against a triple headed hydra of billionaire sports litigation.
16:26
Speaker 2: By the time this ends up getting out of Discovery,
16:30
Speaker 2: Nike is going to own Frank Thomas's house. Fanatics will
16:34
Speaker 2: own the firstborn grandsons naming rights, and you'll be having
16:38
Speaker 2: to be wearing a jumpsuit that says property of Major
16:41
Speaker 2: League Baseball. By the way, the deal with the Players Association.
16:46
Speaker 2: Once you retire from baseball, like if you're in the Union,
16:50
Speaker 2: baseball teams can do whatever they want. There's a partnership
16:52
Speaker 2: agreement with your likeness and image, and once you're retired, though,
16:56
Speaker 2: they have to get you to sign off on that
16:59
Speaker 2: or technical. You could file a lawsuit and I think
17:04
Speaker 2: this will go to a settlement. Just save time, save money,
17:08
Speaker 2: that kind of thing. And it's usually how these things
17:10
Speaker 2: work out in the legal system. Even when you're right,
17:13
Speaker 2: even when it looks like you've got everything lined up
17:16
Speaker 2: in a row, you're still negotiating your own surrender. All right,
17:19
Speaker 2: final point. We had a coaching change in college basketball.
17:23
Speaker 1: Quick way, North Carolina. Bye bye, Hubert Davis. He's out.
17:29
Speaker 2: He got whacked after that choke job by the Tar
17:32
Speaker 2: Hills gagging away a nineteen point lead. Embarrassing. We knew
17:37
Speaker 2: that Hubert Davis was going to be fired when they
17:39
Speaker 2: canceled his radio show this week. That is a dig
17:43
Speaker 2: you what so Hubert Davis five seasons, five seasons in
17:48
Speaker 2: the Carolina Blue and had a winning percentage of almost
17:53
Speaker 2: seven hundred and yet didn't do it in the tournament
17:56
Speaker 2: enough and so he's out. The question, did Hubert Davis
18:00
Speaker 2: get a raw deal.
18:02
Speaker 1: From North Carolina?
18:04
Speaker 2: Hell no, They're given like five million dollars to go away.
18:08
Speaker 2: That's a sweetheart deal. He'll get another job if he wants,
18:11
Speaker 2: or he can go do some bad television like he
18:13
Speaker 2: did before.
18:13
Speaker 1: ESPN.
18:14
Speaker 2: Someone will hire him. It's just a high cost of
18:18
Speaker 2: living in a spookky neighborhood haunted by the ghost.
18:24
Speaker 1: Of Dean Smith who lives in the shadow of the
18:28
Speaker 1: Dean Dome.
18:31
Speaker 2: So we sent the physical, chemical, biological, and digital evidence
18:36
Speaker 2: to the crime lab on this and the results came
18:40
Speaker 2: back really really clean, just really really really clean. No
18:44
Speaker 2: foul play, no foul play on this, just a cold
18:48
Speaker 2: blooded accounting of the blue Blood Ledger. And that's how
18:52
Speaker 2: it works. And so you have been excommunicated from the Chapel,
18:56
Speaker 2: the Chapel Hill, Bye bye, and Hubert Davis. It was
19:00
Speaker 2: granted several mulligans in the tournament. How Er, eventually it
19:04
Speaker 2: turns out that the country club there in North Carolina
19:07
Speaker 2: ran out of golf ball. So it turns out blowing
19:10
Speaker 2: a nineteen point lead to VCU was the final nail
19:14
Speaker 2: in the coffin. That is a Hasmatt situation. It is messy,
19:19
Speaker 2: it is loud, and you cannot ignore that, and especially
19:22
Speaker 2: when you didn't succeed.
19:23
Speaker 1: The year before.
19:25
Speaker 2: And so if you don't survive back to back years
19:27
Speaker 2: in the first round of the tournament, that's not a slump.
19:31
Speaker 2: That is a mortal sin. Is what that is and
19:34
Speaker 2: so yeah, there were injuries.
19:36
Speaker 3: I get it.
19:37
Speaker 2: And you know that's a mere footnote on this. The
19:40
Speaker 2: opponent VCU is irrelevant, doesn't matter. It's open payroll. North
19:46
Speaker 2: Carolina's got a payroll here. Boosters demand a hefty ROI
19:50

38:16
Speaker 7: According to a report this week, an anonymous GM predicted
38:19
Speaker 7: that Anthony Richardson will end up on the Green Bay Packers. Now, Ben,
38:23
Speaker 7: could you see the Packers taking a chance on Richardson?
38:25
Speaker 2: Yeah, because you're not gonna play, so who cares sit
38:29
Speaker 2: him on the bench?
38:30
Speaker 1: And that's great? Why not? Jordan Love will play?
38:32
Speaker 2: And then if Jordan Love gets hurt, the Packers are screwed.
38:36
Speaker 1: So they'll they'll let Richardson go. And that's what they
38:38
Speaker 1: just did.
38:38
Speaker 2: They just had a guy it sucked in Tennessee and
38:40
Speaker 2: now he's getting paid thirty million dollars a year for
38:42
Speaker 2: the Miami Dolphins. So that's the model for the Green
38:45
Speaker 2: Bay Packers. That's what they used to do back in
38:46
Speaker 2: the day. They just stashed quarterbacks and try to rehab them.
38:49
Speaker 2: And the only difference is the Packers didn't trade this
38:53
Speaker 2: latest example next.
38:55
Speaker 7: Though the Lakers win streak ended at nine games on Monday,
38:57
Speaker 7: their recent success and Lebron James's acceptance of a lesser
39:01
Speaker 7: role has led some to believe that Lebron's staying with
39:03
Speaker 7: the Lakers for another season as a viable option.
39:06
Speaker 1: Ben, do you think Lebron could stay?
39:08
Speaker 3: Oh?
39:08
Speaker 1: Could he? Yeah?
39:09
Speaker 2: The multiverse, there's a world where Lebron James stays. He
39:12
Speaker 2: does love La. He loves hanging out with all these
39:14
Speaker 2: Hollywood fs and all that.
39:16
Speaker 1: Everyone in La.
39:17
Speaker 2: Oh Lebron, they kiss his ass anywhere. I still think
39:20
Speaker 2: he's going back to Cleveland. I think that's where he
39:22
Speaker 2: ends his career. He's got a problem though, because if
39:25
Speaker 2: Lebron leaves the Lakers, the first move the Lakers make
39:27
Speaker 2: because they release his kid. So that's that's the problem,
39:30
Speaker 2: because the only reason on the team is because of that.
39:32
Speaker 1: Next.
39:33
Speaker 7: Celtic's point guard Derek White, was recently outed as a
39:35
Speaker 7: conspiracy theorist by his head coach, and on a recent podcast,

39:40
Speaker 7: he admits that he doesn't believe we landed on the moon.
39:43
Speaker 1: Ben.
39:44
Speaker 7: Is there any conspiracy theory that you subscribe to. Yeah,
39:46
Speaker 7: there's a bunch.
39:46
Speaker 1: I think there are.
39:47
Speaker 2: There's another species living on the planet in the oceans,
39:51
Speaker 2: under the oceans. I also believe that the cal Ripken
39:55
Speaker 2: streak should have ended.
39:56
Speaker 1: But he got no flat with Kevin Costner. I believe
39:58
Speaker 1: that conspiracy. How do we new coope? He passes, So
40:01
Speaker 1: we're putting it on the board, who
