• 0:26
  Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: Dateline Dateline Tampa. There is no Tampa Bay. Did you
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: know that there's no city Tampa Bay? Tampa and Saint
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: Pete and then you've got the Tampa Bay the nickname.
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: So the story here, this is the story everyone's yapping about.
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: In the NFL Star defensive tackle Vida Veya has said,
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: I want out. I don't want to be a Buccketeer.
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: Get rid of your little creamsicle nonsense.
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: I'm done.
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: And this after contract negotiations went upside down and sideways.
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: We've talked about this a few times over the last
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: couple months.
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: Well.
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: They's agent said that the request was made after many
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: unsuccessful attempts to shake some more money out of the
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: Buccaneers and get a new contract to the thirty one
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: year old defensive tackle entering the final season of his contract.
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: I know you're very concerned about the finances of Vidavea.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: You're very worried about that four year contract. Is last
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: year seventeen million non guaranteed? Now do you have guaranteed
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: money in your contract? Are you guaranteed a certain amount
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: of money?
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: You're not. You have to actually work to earn your money. Okay, Yeah, Well.
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: He wants guaranteed money and non guaranteed and a one
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: million dollar roster bonus, which is always great just to
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: show up to work and get a bonus.
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: So that is all a good jumping off point.
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: Let us discuss the question how legitimate is Vida Vea's
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: desire to say bye bye to the box where we
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: want a championship a couple years back.
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: With Tom Brady and that era of the box.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: Or is this simply a leverage play dressed up as
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: a righteous frustration situation for the longtime stalwart of that
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: Tampa Bay defense. So I've got Campbell's chunky, Warren Buffett,
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: and Amazon Prime, and we will combine all of these
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: things together and we're going to have a Cuban cigar,
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: which you can get in the greater Tampa.
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: Area, all right.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: So a just keeping it real, because the one thing
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: we do here, you and I, we keep it real.
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: So just keeping it real.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: This is not really a trade request an accurate that
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: would not be accurate. So it was a trade requid,
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: cut and dry. It's a high stakes fundraiser, is what
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: it is. And Vidavea is stirring the pot. Think of
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: him in the team cafeteria. He's like, Hey, I would
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: like a nice snack. What are you gonna have? All right, well,
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: I'm in the team cafeteria. Why don't I whip up
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: a big bowl, gigantic bowl of Campbell's chunky frustration Stew.
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: Can I have some frustration?
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: Stew?
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: Oh, yes, you can have a lot of frustration, Stew.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: It's very chunky. It's a hearty meal, is what it
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: is here. And so this is a strategic plate. This
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: is standard by the book. It is and we've seen
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: this pretty much every year. It's the same old story.
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: Training camps are underway, and if they're not, they're about
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: to start for everybody in the next couple of hours,
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: forty eight hours or so.
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: That's it. And so this is it.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: This is a deal where Videvea is weaponizing the story.
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: He is deputizing the fan base like he's the guy
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: running the Tampa Sheriff's department there and he's handing out
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: badges to everyone.
• 4:05
  Speaker 4: You get a badge, You get a badge. You get
• 4:08
  Speaker 4: a badge, You get a badge. And the reason you
• 4:11
  Speaker 4: got that badge is to yell at the ownership of
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: the team, to complain and complain and pound the table
• 4:22
  Speaker 4: and until they pay up, disturbing the piece, disturbing the
• 4:27
  Speaker 4: piece here and thea he wants guaranteed shekels, a lot
• 4:31
  Speaker 4: of shekels, and he wants them right now. And so
• 4:35
  Speaker 4: he's rattling the cage over there at the pirate ship
• 4:40
  Speaker 4: fire the cannons is his mindset here until the glazers here,
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: the coins kind of bouncing around, clicking around there, and
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: then that's it. And so this is a game of Chicken,
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: black block chicken, and Vida Vera.
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: He said, you know, I'm to bring a battering ram,
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: but it's just a game of chicken. But no, I'm bringing
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: a battering ram. And the Buccaneers they have a nice scooter.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: It's an electric scooter. It's still just a scooter. So
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: either they back up the Brinks truck.
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: You hear that beep beep beep beep beep, back it up,
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: back it up now?
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: Or Vinave jumps into the transfer portal like he's a
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: sophomore playing at the University of Florida in Gainesville and
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: he just didn't get enough stabs, so he's going back
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: in the portal to get a nice, big fat nil check.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: And that's it, all right, now, continuing the theme here,
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: all right, the theme of the hour. So Vienave's agent said
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: that he is open to any team willing to move
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: for him.
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: But you know what that means.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: The agent said that the desire, the preference is a
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: California based.
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: Team or the Raiders, which tells you a couple of things, right.
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: It tells you that the passion to win is not
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: right there because the Chargers never win anything, the Niners
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: haven't won since, you know, back in the nineties, and
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: the only team that's really winning in California the Rams.
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: That's it.
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: If you're willing to go play for the Raiders or
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: the Chargers or somebody like that, your priority is not winning.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: That's that's not it. And the other problem, and this
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: is the snuffle up focus in the room is that
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: the player vidave has no trade options, meaning he has
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: no trade clause. So he's at the whims of the Buccaneers.
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: If they feel like they want to trade him, they're
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: not obligated to trade him to where he wants to go.
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: Of course, the strategy has always been even if you
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: have a no trade clause, you just become such a
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: pain in the ass. Nobody wants to trade for you
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: unless you go to your desired team.
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: That's it.
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: So they they may be incentivized to get rid of
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: him because they don't clearly want to pay him. It
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: would appear, and there's an argument to be made to
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: not pay Vidavea. He's at the end of his athletic prime.
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: He has had some injury problems of late, and so
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: the old argument is ours you want to pay not
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: for what players have done, you want to pay for
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: what they're going to do. And so if you make
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: the argument you're going to pay Viaavea for his production,
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: it's a falling star. Don't let a falling star fall
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: on you. That's the problem, and he's going Whoever tradesform
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: is going to demand or have to pay him, have
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: to pay them more money. Right, So the question, all right,
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: here's the question, who's doing the window shopping. Who's doing
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: the window shopping on a possible deal for Bucks defensive
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: tackle Vitavea. So looking in to the mallor crystal ball,
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: we look into the mallar crystal ball. It is a
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: fascinating trade market. So I'm gonna Benny bright Side on
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: this as I look into the crystal ball as how
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: much is he worth?
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: We start with that. So before we get to who,
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: what's the value?
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: What's the price tag on vdave So I'm gonna say
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: right now, at this point, based on a minutes long
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: investigation and deliberation of likely trade scenarios, the Court of
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: the Malord Militia has determined that Vidavea is worth if
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: you get a team that's kind of drunk, like a
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: low second round pick, like a team that's gonna be good,
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: it's gonna beout, like a low second round pick like
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: a Buffalo type situation, somebody like that or the Ravens,
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: and then more likely a third round pick and a
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: conditional bonus pick a sixth or later pick tossed in
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: on top.
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: So Veya.
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: He offers an instant defensive boast in theory. In theory
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: because again, there's some other things going on. He's entering
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: the twilight part of his NFL career, and so you look,
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: they say, well, you can maybe get one more. It's
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: like that toothpaste. You want to squeeze that last little
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: bit of toothpaste out before you open up the new tube.
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: Well no, no, and I just opened up a no no, no,
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: no, no waste.
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: The old toothpaste. You got a little more in there.
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: So okay, we'll squeeze out the last part of the
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: toothpaste and then we'll open up the toothpaste tomorrow because
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: we can do that. And so Vi Devea right right
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: now at his age, you say, well, one more halfway
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: decent season, although inevitably the grim reaper of injury will.
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: Come wandering around and all that.
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: So in terms of looking at the crystal ball, let's
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: just start right in Sin City, lost wages, Nevada. That
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: is a no brainer. If the player doesn't really care
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: about winning, and nobody wants to go to the Raiders
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: cares about winning, because it's not about that, it's about
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: enjoying life and Vegas is a fun place to live
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: if you're a rich athlete and you can afford parking
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: and all the nickel and dime charges they shove down
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: your throat when you're in Vegas. If you're rich, you
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: don't really worry about that. So go to the Raiders now,
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: Viva los Vegas, Viva las Vegas. It makes again. If
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: winning is totally out of the equation, you just want
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: to have a good time. And the reason the Raiders
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: makes sense is because of Tom Brady. That's why Tom
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: Brady the acting GM by proxy, the GM by proxy
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: of the Raiders. There leveraging the Super Bowl bromance from
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: the Buccaneers a couple of years back. There a little
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: insider NFL insider trading if you will here now. As
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: Warren Buffett said and many others have said as well,
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: it is not what you know, it's who you know.
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: And Vidave and Tom Brady are bros. They like each
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: other because they won together, and so there's that. Meanwhile,
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: the forty nine ers would offer a natural homecoming if
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: you can handle the electrical plant they practice that there.
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: He's from Vidavea from that part of the country.
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: Silicon Valley kid and so you could pair him with
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: Bosa and you got a little something there in theory.
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: And then look, the Rams are being coy Sean McVay.
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: He's like, ah, nah, we like who we have. You're
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: not technically allowed to say, hey, we'd love to trade
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: for that other player. That would be a tampering violation,
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: not that they really punish that. I just believe the
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: Rams are interested. If the price point is right, they're
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: interested in it, and they're just hoarders of talent and
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: they find a way to move things around. They don't
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: care about draft picks. They obviously don't. They drafted a
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: kid who can't play quarterback in the first round this year,
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: which tells you they don't value first round draft picks
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: or really draft picks in general. So you really can't resist.
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: If you're the Rams.
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: High end upgrade, say well, we've got Aaron Donald likely
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: coming in and Miles Garrett.
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: We'll just keep adding legendary players. Defensively, Vita Vea find
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: a place to put him in that lineup if you're
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: Sean McVay. So I think they're in there. And then
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: outside of the teams on the West Coast, you got
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: to think that the Bears, the Bear for our buddy
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: Tree in Chicago and the boys there which I last
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: I checked, is not on the west coast. It's not
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: on the west coast. I guess it's on the west
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: coast of Lake Michigan. I guess it's that so the
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: west coast Lake Michigan.
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: Or is it the northwest? I don't know. I forgive
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: my map of Lake Michigan. Anyway.
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: The point is the Bears, you think would be interested,
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: they'd be like a dark horse if you will, or
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: bear to elevate their defense. So keep an eye on
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: that now. Last word to the High Speed Sports Wire,
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: a name brand, a name brand NFL player on the
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: move again. To Minas souta we go, we're former star
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: safety Jamal Adams. Remember this guy, Jamal Adams back in
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: the day, You remember him. That is kind of a
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: big deal for a safety. Well, Jamar Adams is changing
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: laundry again. He has agreed to join the football team
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: known as the Vikings. They have Alligator Arms Murray as
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: their quarterback. So that's the story there, the safety turned
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: hybrid linebacker guy Jamal Adams. He announced the move himself
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: because nobody else really cares about him on social media.
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: That'll be his tenth NFL season. Upcoming ten NFL seasons.
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: He's thirty, and he was the number six overall pick
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: in the twenty seventeen NFL Draft by the Jets. Got
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: a lot of polish from the New York media even
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: though he played for the Jets, a lot of love
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: and woll this guy's great and became a first team
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: All Pro. He established himself as a pre eminent box
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: safety in the NFL. And then people were like, well,
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: he's not really a safety, he's more like a linebacker,
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: so let's just play him at linebacker. Okay, we'll do that.
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: And that was so long ago, so long ago. How's
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: it going now? Well, not great lately. There have been
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: slim pickings. Those were the glow days and they have
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: ended now for mister Adams. So the Adams family the question,
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: how do you see one time star Jamal Adams working
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: out with the Minnesota Vikings. So it's kind of like
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: when you're the Vikings here, it's like you're signing up
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: for Amazon Prime. You got the free trial. I think
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: you have up to thirty days to cancel before getting charged.
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: So they're doing the free trial. Just don't hold your breath.
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: Do not hold your breath here. Jamal Adams is a
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: cautionary tale. As the Wise Man said, He's gone from
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: at one point considered to be Taylor Swift just killing
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: it on stage, and now he's a backup singer. At
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: this point, mister Adams is a backup singer. And I
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: remember when the Jets fleeced the Seahawks where they thought
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: they fleeced the Seahawks getting a couple of first round
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: picks for Jamal Adams. Of course, the Jets always watch
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: those first round picks, so it doesn't matter.
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: That was a big deal.
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: And Adams at this point, if you turn to the
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: next chapter of the Jamal Adams story, he has now
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: turned into a gypsy, not the gypsy king. He's a
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: pig skin gypsy and on the Hobo Express, bouncing around
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: the boondocks of the NFL. He's in the pinball machine,
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: going up, down, all around all that stuff. He's done
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: more cameos, more cameos as a hybrid safety linebacker than
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: just about anybody. And the last couple of years he's
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: been wandering around played for the Titans, had a little
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: bit of time with the Lions and the Raiders. So
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: the man's played since twenty twenty two, which is a
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: decent amount of time. It's twenty twenty six now, if
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: you know that, he's played a total of twenty twenty
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: fifteen twenty two fifteen games since twenty twenty two for
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: Jamal Adams and still Minnesota, they're gambling. They got the
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: thirty day trial, and they're gambling that defensive coordinator Brian Larees,
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: when he's not focused on his lawsuits suing the NFL,
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: he can awaken whatever's left of the magic dust and
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: Adams has and lead him down the yellow brick road
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: to a redemption arc, a redemption store here. Now, of course,
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: you have a better chance of winning a twelve team parlay.
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: You have a much better chance of winning a twelve
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: team parlay than Jamal Adams making a sustained, meaningful impact
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: with the team in Minnesota. So the Vikings are in
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: a weird spot. They brought in a quarterback who can't play,
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: Kyler Murray. Now they're futzing around with Jamal Murray, Jamal
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: Murky with Jamal Adams, But like, what are you doing?

• 16:59
  Speaker 5: five to seven pm Eastern.
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: But here's the thing. We never have enough time to
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: get to everything we want to get.
• 17:04
  Speaker 6: To and that's why we have a brand new podcast
• 17:06
  Speaker 6: called over Promised. You see, we're having so much fun
• 17:09
  Speaker 6: in our two hour show. We never get to everything, honestly,
• 17:13
  Speaker 6: because this guy is over promising things we never have
• 17:16
  Speaker 6: time for.
• 17:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you blubber Liam in me.
• 17:19
  Speaker 5: Well, you know what it's called over promise. You should
• 17:20
  Speaker 5: be good at it because you've been over promising women
• 17:22
  Speaker 5: for years.
• 17:23
  Speaker 6: Well, it's a Covino and Rich after show, and we
• 17:25
  Speaker 6: want you to be a part of it. We're gonna
• 17:27
  Speaker 6: be talking sports, of course, but we're also gonna talk
• 17:29
  Speaker 6: life and relationships. And if Rich and I are arguing
• 17:32
  Speaker 6: about something or we didn't have enough time, it will
• 17:34
  Speaker 6: continue on our after show called over Promised.
• 17:37
  Speaker 5: Well, if you don't get enough Covino and Rich, make
• 17:39
  Speaker 5: sure you check out over Promised and also Uncensored, by
• 17:42
  Speaker 5: the way, So maybe we'll go at it even a
• 17:43
  Speaker 5: little harder. It's gonna be the best after show podcast
• 17:46
  Speaker 5: of all time.
• 17:47
  Speaker 6: There you go, over promising, remember you could see on YouTube,
• 17:51
  Speaker 6: but definitely join us. Listen over Promised with Coavino and
• 17:54
  Speaker 6: Rich on the iHeartRadio app Apple Podcasts or wherever you
• 17:57
  Speaker 6: get your podcasts from the fro in tundra.
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: Where it's icy cold and then occasionally tornadoes come down.
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: Well adjacent over there in Appleton. So the packers recently
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: opened up the books and it was a mix back.
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: So people been dissecting, getting the magnifying glass out and
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: checking this. So if you you didn't see this, perhaps not.
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: The question is is the glass half full or half empty?
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: For the team in northern Wisconsin. So the Cheeseheads, this
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: is wild, some of the numbers here, and it's really
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: cool to look at this. Even if you don't like math,
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: it's still fun. So the Cheeseheads reported record total revenue,
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: all right, record total revenue seven hundred and fifty three
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: million dollars for the fiscal year of twenty twenty six.
• 18:49
  Speaker 3: All right, So that's that seems pretty good. That seems
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: pretty good, but you know what that means.
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: Somehow, they claim they managed to lose one point one million,
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: a one point one million operating loss. If you think
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: that's odd. It's the first time the Packers have had
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: an operating loss since nineteen eighty nine. And now that
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: obviously doesn't include the pandemic because you throw those numbers out.
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: But nineteen eighty nine. So the new CEO of the
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: Green Bay football team ED policy. That sounds like a
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: fake name, right, ed policy. That's the guy's name. I
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: did not make that up. Ed policy warning, warning, warning,
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: wonning warning from ed policy. He warned of the long
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: term NFL economic trends which are not good, not good
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: for green Bay, saying they quote can pose a threat
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: to our long term financial health.
• 19:51
  Speaker 3: You know where this is going, don't you. Yeah?
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: All right, So that is a good jumping off point.
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: Let us discuss the question. You've got the Green Bay
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: CEO ED policy warning about a bad financial outlook if
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: you look down the road there long term economics for
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: the Packers franchise. What is your interpretation of the financial
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: situation involving the cheese sead. So I've got Crayola, mad Max,
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: Fury Road, and Great Outdoors and we will combine all
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: of these things together.
• 20:30
  Speaker 3: And we are going to give you.
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: A plate of delicious cheese curds right out of the
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: cheese castle there.
• 20:38
  Speaker 3: Down in Kenosha. That's what we're gonna do. Oh delicious,
• 20:41
  Speaker 3: all right, So number one one one one. It's also
• 20:46
  Speaker 3: is the amount of money the packers lost. One point
• 20:48
  Speaker 3: one million, one all right.
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: So as McDonald's used to say, you deserve a break today,
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: give me a break, Give me a break, Okay. Crying
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: about this, it's kind of like Jeff Bezos complaining about
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: uber surge pricing. It's for gazy, is what it is.
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: It's it's fugazi, it's fairy dust. Whatever they said there
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: on the Wolf of Wall Street. Now I looked at
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: the numbers here. Using some malormath, they pulled in the
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: Green Bay Football team four hundred and fifty three million dollars,
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: the same amount the Dallas Cowboys, the New York Giants,
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: the New England Patriots, Minnesota Vikings, Seattle Seahawks, La Rams,
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: forty nine Ers every other team got. That is the
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: chunk of change from the national TV money. Every team
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: was given four hundred and fifty three million dollars from
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: national media revenue in the NFL. That is before opening
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: the gates, before selling a ticket, before selling an overpriced
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: beer or hot dogs or nachos or pretzels or.
• 21:52
  Speaker 3: Any of that stuff.
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: You're giving a check you don't having saw the single
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: cheesehead or cheese fondue, And you've got four hundred fifty
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: three million. Now, the packers spent two hundred and ninety
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: million dollars on player payroll. Okay, that seems like a lot. Now,
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: what is the difference. If you take four hundred and
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: fifty three million and you grab a giant chunk of
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: that four hundred and fifty three million dollars hundred, you
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: take two hundred ninety million away, So you end up
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: with one hundred and sixty three million if my malor
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: math is correct, and that is left. And then but
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: that doesn't include the local revenue. Somehow, in sleepy Green Bay,
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: the packers ended up with three hundred million dollars in
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: local revenue. Three hundred million. They get all the revenue
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: from Lake Winnebago, Like what's going on there? Anyway, the
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: net income jumped nearly fifty five percent. The net income
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: on that that left a total amount if you take
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: away the player salary and then you add in the
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: local revenue of four hundred and it's four sixty three
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: million to cover expenses four to sixty three million, So
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: we're supposed to believe the sky is falling. The long
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: term health of the packers is not good. Here, can
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: someone please pass me the tiny cheese shaped foam violin
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: so I can play a couple of bars here for
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: the package.
• 23:17
  Speaker 3: Maybe we's just start a GoFundMe page. How about it.
• 23:20
  Speaker 3: Gofund me. We're gonna have a bake sale. I'll bake
• 23:22
  Speaker 3: up some cookies, some funfetti cookies, and we'll bake those up.
• 23:25
  Speaker 3: Why not?
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: And green Bay does not have a revenue problem. It
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: appears they have a stop lighting money on fire problem.
• 23:34
  Speaker 3: That that's the issue here.
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: The books are not bleeding the way I read it,
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: They're not bleeding there in green Bay. They're just written
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: with green and gold Crayola crayons. So if you're that
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: bad at budgeting and you're struggling with half a billion
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: in clear profit and you can't figure out, hey, let's
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: make sure we have the right number of employees that
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: we can make money and we have a limited amount
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: to spend. Seriously, hire someone that can count past ten
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: without taking off their shoes.
• 24:12
  Speaker 3: Okay, I'm just saying. I'm just saying, all right, not
• 24:15
  Speaker 3: page two.
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: So back to the CEO because this is interesting to
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: me and I think it's interesting to you. This guy
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: ed Policy, the CEO in Green Bay. He complained that
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: the Packers are at a disadvantage booooo because of the
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: NFL's being the anahl's only publicly owned team, meaning they
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: cannot access the private equity funds that all these other
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: NFL teams seemingly have endless amounts of money, and so
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: they don't have access to that. They no private equity
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: or billionaire boys club ownership capital that they can grab
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: out of. And they're saying like other franchises have access to.
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: According to ed Policy, quote this ATM machine that we
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: just don't what a SOB story. So this led to
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: the inevitable chatter that the Packers could change status from
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: an ownership set up where the people own the team
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: for the people, by the people, all about the people,
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: go from that and then have a private setup. So
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: the question could the Packers, the Green Bay Packers really
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: be sold and no longer be a public franchise to
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: a private owner in order to boost cash flow. So
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: if you look I answer it this way. So if
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: you look at the multiverse, we know that anything is possible.
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: There's many dimensions, and there is a dimension where the
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: packers are sold to some guy from Dubai and then
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: that's it. But as Alf likes to say, in reality,
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: the malarads of the green Bay Packers being ripped out
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: of the public sector and put into the private sector
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: are plus five thousand. That is a whopping two percent chance.
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: Two percent chance that's the case the packers going private.
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: This is actually the other owners forbidden fantasy. I heard
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: this years ago, so it's not like this is all
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: of a sudden, a new revelation from Pigskin Nation green
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: Bay's public ownership, which has been this way for seemingly
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: forever my entire life. The public ownership providing the only
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: look behind the curtain at how they make the sausage,
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: the only one into finances in the NFL, and it ruins.
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: The reason this is the forbidden fantasy for the other
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: NFL owners is it ruins the oligarchs. Hey, we're broke.
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: We're broke routine when squeezing taxpayers. That would be you
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: and me, assuming you pay your taxes. I wish I didn't,
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: but I don't want to go to.
• 27:02
  Speaker 3: Jail for that. So I've decided to pay my taxes.
• 27:04
  Speaker 3: But that's just the way I am.
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: So a TV example, the difference you juxtapos the NFL
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: to Major League Baseball. Major League Baseball owners are bitching
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: and complaining that they're all poor. They're losing money, right,
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: tightwad teams like the Pirates and the Athletics and teams
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: like that, Oh, we're losing money. You know what they
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: don't do. They don't open the books because they're not
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: losing money. They're not uh, And they're making gobs of money.
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: And are they making as much as the Yankees and Dodgers.
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: Probably not, probably not, But they're making money. They're making money.
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: And so this setup in the NFL is so special,
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: it's so unique that we get to look at this
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: and figure it out ourselves.
• 27:47
  Speaker 3: And fortunately many.
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: It doesn't matter that the NFL releases the Boks, because
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: there's plenty of crooked politicians that don't have any problem
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: giving away your money and my money. So to actually sell,
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: and this is why it's a long shot of long shots,
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: as I understand it, to sell the Packers. The NFL
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: would have to completely rewrite the rules, They would have
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: to dismantle green Bay's corporate bylaws, untangle the massive nonprofit
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: tax nightmare that that would be for the green Bay
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: football team, and somehow, somehow convince five hundred thousand men
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: and women shareholders of the green Bay Packers to vote yes,
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: we need a private owner. We're going to get rid
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: of you. We're gonna get rid of you, is what
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: we're going to do. So just vote yes. We don't
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: need you vote yes on your own X execution if
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: you will, so, good luck, good luck on that. Not
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: a vote, that's a seance, that's what that is. And
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: without those bylaws, this green Bay Packer franchise becomes mad
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: Max Fury Road is what it becomes. It's a post
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: apocalyptic movie. The green Bay Packers, you mark my words.
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: If that Packer team, if they change the rules and
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: the by laws and they find a way to finagle
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: out of the public ownership, the lambeau Field site there
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: in Green Bay will become a corporate sacrifice pit. Five
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: years post sale, five years post sale, there'll be a
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: pickleball megaplex where lambeau Field is right now and a
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: have a giant Minard's logo on it right out in
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: front the size of the state of Wisconsin. And in
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: the parking lot at Lambeau. They'll have a BUCkies in
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: the parking lot there so you can get your beaver
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: nuggets at the where Lambeau is right now. Within five
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: years of that team because they.
• 29:45
  Speaker 3: Staying green Bay.
• 29:46
  Speaker 7: You kidding me, no chance, Gonzo, see you later. We
• 29:50
  Speaker 7: wanted to stay, we just couldn't get what we need.
• 29:52
  Speaker 7: We have to go somewhere else we need. Nobody wants
• 29:55
  Speaker 7: to live in green Bay. The players don't want to
• 29:56
  Speaker 7: live the.
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: Whole all that crap, all right, final point being of
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: living in green Bay. To the injury tent, we go
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: the top paid defensive star in the National Football League
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: down for the count as training camp gets going here
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: in twenty twenty six, reports say Packers Packers star former
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: Cowboy Packers star edge rusher Micah Parson's unlikely unlikely to
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: return before week number four of.
• 30:26
  Speaker 3: The NFL season as he continues recovering from his torn
• 30:30
  Speaker 3: ACL So there was some.
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: Chatter that may come back earlier. Maybe is a weasel word.
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: It sounds like he's not gonna be back anytime soon.
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: Suffered that injury in mid December. For the Green Bay Packers,
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: the timeline optimistic people were saying, oh, no, it's gonna change,
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: it's gonna be better. No, it has not changed. And
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: so with Parsons sidelined early, the Packers expected to lean
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: more heavily on someone named Lucas Vaness. I have no
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: idea who that is. I have no idea who Lucas
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: Vans is. And the chatter is they're looking to go
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: out and acquire someone else to fill the shoes of
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: Micah Parsons, at least early in the season.
• 31:16
  Speaker 3: So the question.
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: Is, what is your level of concern. Give me your
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: level of concern on Micah Parson's return to the Green
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: Bay Packers. And it does not seem like he's going
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: to be back the first quarter of the season. So
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: on the Malor scale of concern, one to ten, with
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: ten being we are absolutely flying into a boiling cauldron.
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: We're cooked. I'm going to three. I'm gonna be Benny
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: Brighteside in this in part. I'm gonna Benny Brightside, not
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: all the way.
• 31:48
  Speaker 3: Here's why. If you look at the schedule, that is
• 31:53
  Speaker 3: the dead give what dead gi what?
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you have the Ferrara candy you've got for the
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: Packers earlier that you've got sweet tarts, Laughy taffy and
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: fundp That's who Green Bay plays early in the season,
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: otherwise known as alligator arms Murray in the Minnesota Vikings
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: quarterback who's expected to start Week one the Jets, that's
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: the laffy Taffy and the Atlanta Falcons. That's the fun
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: dep with to a tongue of II loa. And so
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: it's funny how the urgency meter for Micah Parsons, though,
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: changes after this direct deposit thing kicks in there.
• 32:31
  Speaker 3: And that's the story. We talked about this in a
• 32:33
  Speaker 3: previous episode of the show. It does seem like before
• 32:36
  Speaker 3: the contract, before that contract, Parsons was like, I'm gonna
• 32:40
  Speaker 3: crawl from broken glass to get my ass out there
• 32:44
  Speaker 3: playing some ball. I am I want to play. Now
• 32:48
  Speaker 3: he was one of them. He's not the highest pay anymore.
• 32:51
  Speaker 3: He was one of the highest paid defensive players in
• 32:53
  Speaker 3: the NFL, Micah Parsons, And so.
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: Now it's like, well, let's be smart here. I no
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: no need to rush it out of an abundance of caution.
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: Why not and every extra week on the rehab is
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: just being cautious. We are just being cautious. It's amazing
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: how patience becomes a virtue when you've got those giant
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: cartoon checks that you are depositing every couple of weeks.
• 33:21
  Speaker 3: In your bank account. There.
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: So the packers are paying for Micah Parsons, the super
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: duper Superstar, and early on they're what are they getting, Well,
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: they're getting Micah Parsons, who's visiting the great outdoors. That's
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: the Micah Parsons here, as he is highly compensated as
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: a spectator in the injury tent. And it sure feels
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: like once the bag was secured for Micah Parsons, the
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: accelerator got replaced by the cruise control.
• 33:53
  Speaker 3: Just see a couple of buttons on your steering where
• 33:54
  Speaker 3: you got the cruise control right there, and just go study,
• 33:58
  Speaker 3: Just go study.
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: And you follow the breaking bad wisdom. He's breaking bad wisdom.
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: I'll get there when I get there. And Parsons, I
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: just want to be able to play and all that. Now,
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: I said, I'm not too concerned because the package if
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: they can't beat off alligator arms, Murray and the Jets
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: and the Falcons. Then they're gonna suck anyway.

  Speaker 2: To the third degree? This is one big Ben gets graillblo.
• 34:34
  Speaker 3: It was reported on Monday that Steph Curry could use
• 34:36
  Speaker 3: his upcoming free agency as leverage against the team. He
• 34:39
  Speaker 3: might try to quote force the Warriors to build the
• 34:42
  Speaker 3: best possible team around him. It's it's a weird report
• 34:44
  Speaker 3: on it. Yeah, but who came up with that one?
• 34:48
  Speaker 3: What shocking? Ben? Do you think there's any chance Steph
• 34:51
  Speaker 3: leaves the Warriors? Absolutely?
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: These guys there's no loyalty, nor should there really be
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: that much loyalty. These guys bounce all over. I could
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: see Steph Curry going to the Charlotte Hornets. They have
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: a good team. They are on the on the come,
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: as they say in gambling, and if they have a
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: good year this year, you know Curry's dad played. There
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: is a broadcast over the team. Keep an eye on
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: that next.

  Speaker 3: Another report this week says that the Dallas Mavericks have
• 35:14
  Speaker 3: continued to rebuff trade inquiries for Kyrie Irving and are
• 35:18
  Speaker 3: dead set on beginning the season with Kyrie alongside Rookie
• 35:20
  Speaker 3: of the Year Cooper flag Ben, do you think this
• 35:22
  Speaker 3: is a bad idea by Dallas. I think that report
• 35:25
  Speaker 3: is bogus.
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: It's kind of a lull period right now in the NBA,
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: and it's that late.
• 35:30
  Speaker 3: July early on. Because I think Kyrie, I'd be surprised
• 35:34
  Speaker 3: if he's in Dallas. I don't think they should keep him.
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: The guys, there's a lot of stuff with Kyrie. Just
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: send him somewhere else. The Mavericks are going to be exciting,
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: but they're not.
• 35:41
  Speaker 3: Going to be good. There's a difference. Next, Baker Mayfield
• 35:44
  Speaker 3: continues to wait for a contract extension from the Tampa
• 35:46
  Speaker 3: Bay Buccaneers, but it's being reported that he is not
• 35:49
  Speaker 3: afraid of the franchise tag. Ben, do you think Mayfield
• 35:51
  Speaker 3: gets an extension or a tag.
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: I can't believe he's not afraid of the franchise tag
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: where they're gonna him like forty million dollars for one
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: season guaranteed. I don't think he's gonna get the contract.
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: So if he has a bad year, here'll be gone
