A highlight from SPECIAL REPORT: Inside Sam Bankman-Fried's Trial Defense Episode 1
"FTX collapsed this week from crypto king to criminal suspects. The less generous view is that you have committed a massive fraud. I mean, I'm deeply sorry. Saying sorry means nothing. I made a series of mistakes that seem they don't just seem dumb. They seem like the type of mistakes I could see myself having ridiculed someone else for having me. I'm Zach Guzman. You're listening to the SPF defense podcast, an exclusive coinage investigation. I've met SPF in person three times. Once when he just bought the naming rights to the Miami Heat's arena, once in the Bahamas at their huge extravaganza with Tom Brady, and once at his parents' home under house arrest, ankle bracelet included. In fact, I was the last journalist to interview him before he was sent to prison for breaking his bail agreement. I showed up to his parents' house near Stanford's campus on a Sunday and was immediately greeted by a security guard who informed me I'd have to leave all my electronics with him outside. I had interviewed Sam plenty of times, just never after being wandered down with a metal detector, and certainly never while he was under house arrest. Three hours later, Sam agreed to answer questions from the coinage community and surprisingly handed me about 50 pages of documents outlining his defense strategy, and exactly what he says led to FTX's downfall. After reading it through and realizing neither myself nor anyone at coinage is an attorney, we brought in the best person we could think of, Mark Litt, the government's lead prosecutor in his case against Bernie Madoff. This is part one of our series investigating SBF's upcoming defense. In this episode, Mark Litt provides his unique insight on the unanswered questions surrounding the relationship between SBF and Caroline Ellison, his girlfriend turned cooperating witness. You were one of the former lead prosecutors on the Bernie Madoff case, one of the biggest Ponzi schemes, not the largest Ponzi scheme in American history. When you look at that case and compare it and contrast it with what's being alleged that Sam Bankman Fried did to St. Alameda and FTX, what do you see? Here, the government is alleging among other things that promises were made to investors and promises were broken, and the promises were material. So there's a couple of charges relating to derivatives, trading fraud and conspiracy to commit that fraud. There's one I think for conspiracy to commit securities fraud and the substantive count of securities fraud. There is money laundering attached to those. So it's not a Ponzi scheme, but it's fraud. It just happens to be in a wrapper of cryptocurrency, which is novel. Well, just start on what you would do if you were Sam's attorney. Well, what I would have been doing and what I would be doing right now is developing whatever I can to cross the cooperators who are going to be critical to the prosecution. When you look at what's happening here and the fact as this goes to trial that you're going to need to convince 12 jurors that a crime was carried out, how does that element of cryptocurrency or the fact that maybe it's not as simple as an outright Ponzi scheme, what does that do to the prosecution side, defense side when you think about what's going to happen in this case? I don't think it changes it all that much. In a trial involving an equity stock or a bond, you may have to do some explanation to the jury about some of the terminology they're going to hear about. Cryptocurrency is newer. You might have to do a little bit more of that to provide context. But the case isn't about cryptocurrency. It's about, again, representations made and not kept. It's about taking money from one pocket and using it for purposes of another company in another pocket without the investor knowing that. That's not hard for a jury to understand. The defense may want to make it about cryptocurrency and go off on a tangent about the intricacies of trading and all of that, but it's not really relevant to the charges.

podcast – Lawyers, Guns & Money
A highlight from LGM Podcast: AFC Preview
"You know, Herbert has to go out there and he has to win a division or, you know, win a playoff game, right? You know, that's, we are firmly, he's in the fourth year, he needs to go out there, this team needs to win a playoff game this year, they're certainly capable of doing it, but if he doesn't win a playoff game this year, it's starting to become a little bit of a disappointment. This is the Lawyer's Guns and Money Podcast. Hello and welcome to the Lawyer's Guns and Money Podcast, and welcome to our annual NFL preview with Scott Lemieux and Rob Farley. Gentlemen, hello. It is finally time for the NFL to return, and thus the world is right again. Finally, Sunday has a point. God lives, finally. Not three days he's dead, it's like seven months. So, let's, we might as well just jump into this, you know, as a pretty exciting season unfolds with what I believe is the vastly superior conference this year, the AFC. And why don't we start with the AFC East, which is kind of a traditional place to start, where you've got a pretty interesting division with four teams that all have a few question marks, but all could be 500 or higher. Yeah, it's fun. So, I have the win projections from Aaron Schatz's annual almanac, which formerly under the auspices of Football Outsiders, which was destroyed by some shady Canadian company. So, the projected wins for the division are Bill's 10 .8, so basically 11, Jet's 9 .8, so basically 10, the Dolphins 8 .5, perhaps a little lower than some men have anticipated, and the New England Patriots at 8 .1, projected to be under 500 for another year. So, do we think that's, yeah, and that's probably roughly how I'd see the division lining up, Bill's winning it, Jet's wild card. I mean, the Dolphins, so I guess take those, let's go one by one. So, the Bills are interesting in that they were probably the team most picked to win the Super Bowl last year, and it was a weird year, and yet they had a good record, the underlying stats were fine, but something always seemed a little bit off about them, and then they just got absolutely, the score on that Bengals playoff game was not as close as the game, and they struggled to beat Skylar Thompson the previous week. So, I think the question is, do we just kind of write off last year, Allen clearly was playing hard for a lot of the year, Miller was injured, tons of injuries to the defense, so we kind of write off last year's an aberration, and basically say they should be top contenders again, or do we say McDonough's gonna regret that 13 seconds where he turtled against Mahomes and Tyree killed the rest of his career. I have to say that instinctively I'm kind of leaning towards the latter, that I think the Bills are still a good team, but I wonder if they kind of lost their moment and the rest of the conference, several teams in the conference are kind of pulling ahead of them, but they're still good, I may be wrong about that, but there's something I don't know, there's something I don't entirely like about the vibes around that team, I'm not sure I can, I don't know if it's my old Josh Allen skepticism or what, but I think they're like a good team, but I would rank them pretty far below the, well, there's the injury issues of the Chiefs, but if the Chiefs and Bengals are healthier, I think I like them quite a bit more. Yeah, I would say that part of a hallmark of your approach to the Bills and Josh Allen is consistency, Scott, I mean, you've got another train and you've stayed on that train, as long as it will take you, right. I mean, yeah, you know, I don't know, I mean, this is an awfully good division, but I think every team in this division has serious questions, except for the Bills, right, you know, all of the other teams are solid, right, but would you really be surprised to see Aaron Rodgers completely fall apart, would you be surprised to see Tua get hurt, you know, and who knows what's going on in New England, but I mean, you know, the Bills, you know, I have to agree with you, right, that they need to be the favorite in this division and then much depends on two things which are very hard to predict, which are Tua and Aaron Rodgers and, you know, I think we have to grapple with the fact that we, you know, we can't, you know, I think we go into this Aaron Rodgers question with, you know, sort of seeing Tom Brady ahead of him and that's probably wrong, right, because, you know, Brady is so sui generis, right, that I don't think we can take that projection and then apply it to what we're going to see out of this Jets team, so I don't know, I mean, beyond the Bills, I don't know what's going to happen, what's going to happen in this division other than it's a pretty good division, there are going to be some pretty good games, I mean, I think I do agree that the Patriots are probably going to come in last, but I would not be shocked if any of the three teams, if any of the teams other than the Bills came in last, I would be shocked if the Bills even came in second, so.
Mike Gallagher Podcast
Fresh update on "tom brady" discussed on Mike Gallagher Podcast
"Matt Gaetz says he wants to change Washington. He wants to stop the endless spending. He wants to try to restore some fiscal sanity and challenge the uni-party, challenge business as usual. The Republicans playing footsie with the Democrats, let's go out for a beer afterwards. No, those days are gone. The Tip O'Neill, Ronald Reagan visage is gone. Now it's time for a, we got a battle, we got a fight, we got a war on our hands. Now I can appreciate establishment Republicans not liking Matt Gaetz. I think you ought to look very hard, very closely at the type of people, and some of whom are surprising me, Mark Levin, just slamming Matt Gaetz. He's a clown, he's a traitor, he's an imbecile, he's a knucklehead. Wait a minute, does Matt Gaetz represent what most of us are thinking about getting some sanity in Washington, D.C. and getting this reckless spending under control? What's wrong with the, listen, can we respectfully disagree? Can we disagree with Gaetz's tactics without ripping him to shreds? I think so, and I think you're right, and as usual, you're on to something. And the things that Matt Gaetz stands for tend to be the things that you and I talk about all the time, the things that real conservatives talk about all the time. Levin's a real conservative, so what's the problem? I think it's the notion of a thousand foot level versus 30,000 foot level. The thousand foot level, at the micro level, Gaetz is a hero, standing for all the right things step by step, one fight at a time, in order to try to get us to fiscal sanity. 30,000 foot level, when it gets to the point of where they're going to maybe come after Kevin McCarthy, oh really, and replace him with whom? I like McCarthy, I like what he's done. So there may be long term, broad, tactical problems with going at things the way Matt Gaetz is, but you're right that his goals are noble, and that's why the left hates him, and why some in the Republican establishment don't like him much either. I don't think any of the Republican establishment like him, and I see a parallel here between their opposition to Donald Trump in 2016 and beyond, and what they're saying about him now, and what they're saying about Matt Gaetz now. It's the establishment versus the populist wing of the party. It's like, no, no, no, let's just not rock the boat here. We got to get along with the Democrats. I don't like this disruption. They don't like disruptors. Well, we need disruptors right now, and so again, I absolutely agree that it's probably smart and it's probably prudent that this happened, this played out the way it does, and I don't know that Kevin McCarthy needs to be unseated. I just wish people on our side of the aisle would knock off the attacks against these sharp-elbowed Republicans like Matt Gaetz and all the rest of them. I mean, and I love Mark Levin. He's called the great one for a reason. He's calling Matt Gaetz a Benedict Arnold. I know. A traitor? Are you serious? And I think that's a third. I guess not to channel Levin or presume that I can read minds, but I've known him and we've all known of him for a long time. I think that Levin sees the McCarthy speakership, and properly so, so far, as something that has stood for really good things conservatively in the House, in the one part of government that we run in this horrible Biden regime, and that anything that upsets that apple cart, anything that threatens to disturb that is big picture, not good for us moving into 2024. I think that's a thing you can say. Well, I think you can say it. I mean, it's a tough issue because now what happens is that we're going to have to count on Democrats to save Kevin McCarthy. You realize that. I mean, now it's going to come down to whether or not Democrats are going to side with kind of the rogues in the Republican Party, because if they don't have enough Democrat support for Kevin McCarthy, he could be ousted, and that could be a real, real mess. I mean, then the House gets paralyzed, which, incidentally, many of us would say isn't such a bad idea. I mean, the disruption— Right. That's why government shutdown is not something that scares me. I kind of get tingly thinking about the government, and I don't mean to be, you know, the military's got to get paid, et cetera, et cetera, and I'm not trying to be— But it's not the end of the world, as you pointed out over and over. Precisely, right. And I think Harry Truman referred to a do-nothing Congress when he was running in 1948. I said, man, a do-nothing Congress is a sweet vacation for me from the terrible things they do. But the thing is, though, we've had a Republican House that has actually been doing some wonderful things, and to have that paralyzed gives some folks pause, it gives me pause, but every point you've made has strong, strong merit. Here's what worries me. We've got a lot of momentum right now. I mean, we really do. I'm liking our chances in Virginia. I'm liking what's happening in the country with, you know, the pushback against the radical Democrats who are utterly falling apart. I mean, they just are. You've got a member of the House pulling a fire alarm like a nine-year-old child. Jamal Bowman. Jamal Bowman. Are you kidding me? And then pretending he doesn't know what a fire alarm—first of all, what a defense. I'm such an idiot, I don't know what a fire alarm does. That's his defense. I think if I pull that red button down that says fire alarm, the door will open, like, you know, like magical, like just like an escalator. That's what I've always thought. Whenever I was in high school, I always thought, you know what, if I need to get into the gym, here's a fire alarm. If I pull that, that door will magically open. Yeah, narrator voice, he's lying. He got caught dead to rights. He's on camera. And incidentally, this is a fascinating issue. Even Kevin McCarthy, speaking of the speaker, points out, hey, obstruction of a government proceeding? It's against the law. You've got people right now rotting behind bars for doing the same thing. You know, who's the lady that's been covering—oh, doggone it, I'm drawing a blank on her. The lady that does all the reporting, I want to call her Jean—it's not Jean Smith. What's her name? Julie Kelly. Julie Kelly pointed out that many of the people who are right now rotting behind bars were convicted of exactly that, obstruction of a government proceeding. Now, literally, this guy is trying to obstruct a government proceeding by delaying a vote that the Democrats wanted to have delayed because they wanted the Senate to step in before the House had a chance to. Well, guess what? Insurrection, anyone? Give me a break. I mean, and they'll look the other way. And did you see the MSNBC anchor, this woman who is this activist? There was a clip I'm going to play later on today. It was unbelievable. She said, we're glad that Jamal Bowman cleared it up. He was just momentarily confused. Absolutely, yes. I mean, there are a bunch of—so that's what I don't want to get. Get in the way of with all this effort to oust Kevin McCarthy. Let's not get it. Let's let them self-destruct. Let's not give them a shovel right now or a lifeline. Hey, I did something last night that I rarely do. I watch 60 Minutes. And there was a fascinating segment on Sam Bankman-Friede, the crypto king that's now rotten in bars—well, alleged criminal, he hasn't faced—let's follow our journalistic guidelines here. Innocent until proven guilty, Mr. Judge, jury and executor. So they interviewed—a guy has written a book about him. And I'm forgetting the author's name, but the author was a great guest. And so he did two big, fat segments on this. But there were two revelations in this guy's reporting. And he was given unfettered access to Samuel Bankman-Friede. He was with him in Bahamas. He was with him for the last few years. He's been with him. And what a crazy story this is. This guy's like a toddler with wild hair, and he was worth more than anybody in the world. He was worth billions. And then he co-mingled funds between, what is it, F-S-X, F-T-X, and then the other one, his other—anyway, here were the two political takeaways. Number one, are you ready for this? So Mitch McConnell supposedly met with Sam Bankman-Friede to try to talk him into funding, giving political funding to anybody who would go after Trump. McConnell had a sit-down meeting with this guy because this guy was doling out billions. He gave Tom Brady, like, $10 million to do a TV commercial. He gave all these stars tons of money. This guy was—he was like Monopoly money. He was just—he was flush. Well, that's the problem. That's what all of crypto is, is phony, meaningless. Crypto is garbage. We'll get to that in a moment. We'll get to that. But he's handing out money. And so Mitch McConnell, according to this author, who seemed very credible, was literally trying to talk him into funding and supporting candidates who would challenge Trump. Here was the other revelation. Samuel Bankman-Friede was considering offering Trump $5 billion not to run. He was thinking, maybe I could just give him $5 billion and talk him out of running because he's a threat to democracy. He's going to shred the Constitution. But maybe I could—so listen— Let's buy him off. Let's just buy him off. But think about this. If Trump is the charlatan that his critics think he is, don't you think he'd have taken the $5 billion and run? No. He loves America so much. Of course. He evidently turned down $5 billion. That's what everybody misunderstands. It's not about him, his brand, the money, whatever you may think of his agenda. He loves this country, and there are things he wants to do for this country. And he will not be thwarted. He clearly will not be thwarted by anyone attempting to derail him from what his instincts are. Here's a text, by the way, from Dallas as we're talking back to Gates and all that. Mike, the question is why people like Matt Gates, along with Marjorie Taylor Greene, Bo Burt, and Trump cannot carry themselves with any measure of dignity. They all fail the statesman's test. Well, that's true. They do. They fail the— Does Gates belong in that? Was Gates feeling somebody up in a theater and vaping and taking pictures was—I mean, I don't know. I think Gates is more of a rhetorical excess. There's an ethics investigation into Gates. I mean, still, that's not concluded. No, I get it. I'm not sure. I would love for all of our conservative heroes to be blemish-free, wise philosopher kings. That's not always going to happen. I'm happy to have less statesmen and more rebels. I'm happy to have fighters. Disruptors. I'm a huge fan of disruptors. And if you are, then shame on those of us who are denouncing Matt Gates and the rest of them the way they are. Maybe pump the brakes a little bit on that and see how it all unfolds. And it's going to be a wild week because Kevin McCarthy, I mean, listen, it could happen. He could get ousted. And I'm not sure that's a good thing right now for the Republican Party. Me neither. Me neither. But I know talking to you is a good thing. Love you. Happy Monday after my little Florida adventure over the weekend. Hey, listen, while you're back in town, back there in your Tampa Bay compound, can you pop on over to the worst stadium in baseball that features one of the better teams in baseball because the Rangers are coming down for three games because they choked the division away, so they got to play the wild card. Three against the Rays tomorrow, Wednesday and Thursday. So there's a rumor Tampa Bay is a pretty good baseball team. Well, it is. But here's something that's not a rumor and good for them because it's a great community and you know love the community. I think ground's going to be broken and a whole brand new baseball complex, that terrible stadium for the Rays, is about to be replaced by a showplace, one of the most expensive in baseball history. About two blocks from my condo. How about that? I live two blocks away. So well, I mean far enough away that I'm not going to be impacted by traffic, but it's really cool. The plan they have for this, it's going to be a smaller stadium.Here's my question. If people aren't going to this stadium from Tampa, I don't know if they're going to go to the new stadium. There's a lot of drama about that here in the St. Pete area. But people like the new stadium. New stadiums are cool. This stadium is terrible. The stadium that they play now is a pit. But allegedly, Tampa fans don't like driving across the Howard Franklin Bridge to go to St. Pete. I don't get it. But that gives me more opportunity for me to get in. So it's good. I should get good seats. All righty, man. Happy Monday. Get your seat for the Mike Gallagher Show today at 10 as soon as we're done on 660 AM The Answer.

He's joining Fox's NFL kickoff, which is at 11 a .m. Eastern every Sunday little pregame action Julian Edelman Julian, how's it going? Going well, how are you doing? I'm doing well. I'm doing very well cuz football is here. So it was back Thank God is fully back. I Mean, I wish I wish the trends Kelsey wasn't hurt because I feel like that takes a little bit away from the opening game But it is what it is If you look at it though over the last However, many years the Kansas City Chiefs have been on this run. They've had relatively pretty decent help Throughout their whole thing. I mean they left they lost the left tackle in the Super Bowl That's why they lost against, you know, Brady they couldn't protect Patrick Mahomes but it's it's getting to that time in their Era it where gets hard, you know being a guy that's been on one of those teams a dynasty. They're not there quite yet but uh You know, they're well on their way if they could stay healthy and you would know better than anyone about dynasty So when would you say they're there? How many would they have to win before you say they're a dynasty everyone knows it's three Okay, I don't know what's going on. Everyone keeps on talking like oh This is you you into no, it doesn't matter if you get to the Super Bowl We went to eight straight AFC championships or something like that. Like you got to win three to get to be in Cowboys previous Patriots Niners Steelers It's not two. It's not two So tell me I want to get into your Fox gig and transitioning to meeting that since we're on it It's a good topic because I'm just curious because one of the things I'm looking at is someone who's scouting Over -unders to bet and and you know who's gonna win the AFC and stuff like that The I Motivation shouldn't say the motivation. I mean, I think the motivation is there even if you win But is it difficult or how difficult is it after winning two like they've won? It's very difficult To get geared up every Sunday, you know people don't realize How hard it is once you go out win a Super Bowl Okay, now they have two that when you win that first one you become a target everyone circles you on the schedule You win another one now everyone circling now now Divisions and conferences are designing their teams to beat you. So it gets harder and harder and as an individual player You know Your motivation you have to pull what what's motivating you because natural human instinct you're like You know, we got this we're good and then you know something happens you have injuries here an injury They're a player doesn't sign back because no two teams are the same. It's a new team every year. So it's very hard mentally To keep it going, you know And you have and they have a leader in Patrick Mahomes that can do that We had Tom Brady Tom Brady was always always on he was like he was always motivated So that gives you hope for the Kansas City Chiefs because they have such a great player and Patrick Mahomes who's their leader You know their best player is is their quarterback is their leader and the way he is is huge. Do you think? the intensity to beat the Chiefs to throne the Chiefs is Similar to what you guys experience and I ask you from this standpoint and I hope you don't take offense to this But I feel like I feel like the Chiefs are not hated in any way I'd feel like no one dislikes Mahomes No one dislikes Andy Reid you guys and I think it was mainly because of your success But there were people who didn't like Tom for whatever reason there was the ridiculousness with the flake eight the stupidest thing ever people didn't like Belichick, maybe You guys I don't think we're like Completely beloved whereas KC seems like I don't know who maybe people are sick of Travis Kelsey a little bit Like our teams you think is amped up to beat the Chiefs as they were you guys I Think the games changed the player has changed Just as an overall, I mean we look at games nowadays you got guys over here You know dapping up helping guys back back when we were playing the Jets when I first got in the league Bart Scott was mother -effing Billy O 'Brien on the sideline guys were fighting before, you know, it's just it's kind of changed And it could be for good or could be for bad. That's for weather for everyone else to determine But and also, you know, the Kansas City Chiefs that the Patriots were on it for 20 years Okay, like when I got there they already had three Super Bowls and they were on a little drought, you know But they were still winning, you know, they went 7 16 and oh they you know 14 win seasons they were still putting out big winning seasons for a long a longer time and You know the Chiefs just haven't been there I'm so I'm sure the Chiefs keep on doing well that people are gonna start hating them too, you know, yeah. Yeah The I want to get into some other stuff about the Patriots and and Belichick and Brady and but let's talk about you going to Fox you did inside the NFL. I enjoyed you on there I wrote that a couple times for SI. Now. You're gonna be on the Fox NFL kickoff show. It's remarkable I don't know if you've seen it Maybe you just know it off the top of your head because you friends with all these people but it is remarkable how every patriot is in media now is on TV, you know, you've got the McCordy's Gronk is part of the Fox family. Everyone knows about the Brady situation McGinnis the TV Bruschi It's like if you're on you were part of our Patriot team good love winners. Yeah people love winners Yeah, and they hate them so, you know you get a little bit of both They're either gonna love your hate you but they're gonna watch you It's like you had no choice but to go into TV basically after after all it's it's I don't know it's uh, You know when you play for an organization like New England and You've had the success that we had over the years that we played, you know It opens up a lot of doors and it's plain and simple. That's that's really what it is The the sacrifice and the efforts that we put into our career helped us after our career and a lot of guys you know, they have that hard work mentality that still want to stay in the game, but may not want to be coaches and And that's what media is, you know, that's what I feel. You know, I get my football fix by Going into a pre -production meeting and I haven't done it with Mike Vick or Charles Woodson or Chris and Thomas or Peter Shrager But you get your football locker room kind of vibe when you do those like when I was on inside the NFL I'm sitting there talking with Phil Simms Patrick, uh, you know, Brandon Marshall Michael Irving, Ray Lewis, James Brown and you have these These meetings where you just get to sit and talk football It's before you go on the lights are shining but you sit and you're talking stories You're breaking football down with people that play football So, I think that's a huge probably reason about it and you know, it's not you know We're used to putting in these crazy hours 14 -hour days Seven days a week don't get this year family and media, you know, like you got to do your homework You got to you got to watch all the games, but you know, we can still have a life outside of it, you know These guys are going coach. I mean people always ask me. Why aren't you in coaching and I go You know, I did my time Like I put my my 12 13 14 hour days in and when I would leave work I would see coaches families in the parking lot Seeing the coaches before they would go to bed because they still had another three hours. I ain't doing that Yeah, you know and then if you go somewhere else where it's not like that Then I'm mentally all messed up because well, there's some people that are doing it, you know So it's just I like I'm happy or I'm mad. I'm excited to go out and entertain and talk my knowledge When you were playing and you're playing days towards the end of your career Did you think you would get into TV or did you not think about it while you were playing? I Didn't necessarily think I'd become an analyst and do what I'm doing right now I always enjoyed creating content You know whether it was our YouTube videos our Instagram videos and all the content we build on J around je11 You know that was booming with with the Patriot nation that would always support, you know I always I found a niche in that and and I enjoyed that process of creating content going in and sitting in a you know in a editing room and and Filming up all this stuff and thinking it's gonna be terrible and then cutting it down and then you know having all your other team Because there's a team of people, you know That put put the work in to to get this good content out and I enjoyed it So I didn't know it was gonna be to the extent of what I'm doing right now but I knew you know, I was comfortable in front of a camera and you know, I know I faced for radio, but Thank God I won a lot of games Had it and just tell me were were there other networks like in the running to get your services Was it just Fox like I'd end up at Fox why Fox? Tell me a little bit about joining I want to say any other names there were, you know There was another network that was involved and I sat down and I thought Fox would be perfect You know, I got a couple teammates there with Gronk Brady You know, I'm really excited to get to hang out with you know Charles Woodson and in talk football with Mike Vick and Chris Thompson Peter Schrager and you know Fox is like a If you know the story behind Fox, I mean they were created as This little small sport network with John Madden.

The whole world shut down, but Miami welcomed us with open arms. We want to show Bitcoin to the whole world. We are taking the conference on the road to set the stage for Bitcoin in a new city. Nashville Bitcoin 2024 is coming to Nashville in Tennessee, a city that is known as a music and freedom city. Bitcoin 2024 in Nashville, from July 25th to 27th. And more news out of China. What's going on, Nolan? Big news week. The dog days are over, it looks like. Summer coming to an end. Looks like people are back at work. So much happened this week. Crazy. Yeah, like you said, you've been waiting for the BRICS summit, so we have a bunch of news out of the BRICS summit. That kind of marks the end of the dog days, as well as Jackson Hole going on. But we have no news out of Jackson Hole until tomorrow, so we're going to have to cover that on next week's show. But those are kind of the capstones, I think, to the dog days of summer, wouldn't you say? Indeed. We've got our Labor Day weekend coming up, which I think marks the real sort of back to business. I know that our own event, Bitcoin Amsterdam, October 12th to 13th, really trying to harness that sort of back to school spirit, and you're going to see our agenda is going to be published that second week back. We're going to be publishing a public agenda. Still be a draft version, of course, always a possibility of changing things, but everyone out there can look forward to that mid -September, and we're going to be talking about energy policy in Europe. We're going to see if Greta, what she thinks about our agenda, and if it's in line with her goals for Europe. I don't know if she's going to be happy with what we have to say, but we hope she's invited. We're inviting Greta this year. Open invitation. Open invitation, yeah. All right, cool, guys. Well, if those topics sound good to you, make sure you like, comment, subscribe. We do have our Rumble versus YouTube battle to see which platform we can get the most views on. And another plug for me up front, Bitcoinandmarkets .com. That's my website where I do another podcast, my Bitcoin and Markets show. And check out the Telegram, where we go back and forth all day about macro, all sorts of macro topics, not just Bitcoin, but the last couple of days, we've been talking demographics over there. So check out t .me forward slash Bitcoin and Markets. All right, let's dive into Bitcoin, Nolan. So the Bitcoin price, we had the big dip. I think during the show last week, we were just starting this dip down. We sure were, yeah. And I think it happened the first time I checked after the show, it just kept sinking. Yeah, but the volatility only lasted for about 36 hours. And then now we're right back down straight to flat, no volatility left. People are waiting for a BART to form, an inverted BART, I guess you could call it. But we haven't seen that yet. So what are your thoughts on price? You can see on this chart, I have the red line for the September 1st ETF deadline that we'll be getting into here in a second. But yeah, what are your thoughts on price? Yeah, this last week really did surprise me. I was not mentally even charting this. I thought it was going to be bounce along in a tighter band than this. But I thought, again, it was prescient to what you were saying last week. So I've got to stop ever even doubting your predictions because you said if it broke and it broke, it tumbles and it tumbled. Whereas I said, no, it'll go back up and stay in the tight band. And no, indeed, we fell off the bike here, it looks like. Well, I have been very surprised with the thud that it created at the bottom. There was no bounce at all. It just like splat. And now it has been flat again down here just above 25 ,000. We'll see if that holds. What else did I want to say about this? Well, let's go to the next slide because a lot of... I think it still feels the same way. As a Bitcoiner, I have that feeling of just don't have the capacity right now to even manage the bounces, which is typical of this time in the cycle. We've all sort of survived a few years of downward trend. So the whole industry feels seized in this same tight band. Yeah, I mean, the behavior of the price is very interesting and a lot of people are speculating that it's because Binance is selling systematically off their Bitcoin to protect the BNB coin. And if we go to the next slide, that is the BNB. And you can see, you might have to take our heads out of there, Chris. The BNB, it was trying to hold about 220. It has touched, I think, all the way down to like 203 or something now. But it is the only coin in the top 20, say, on CoinMarketCap that is green. Everything else is red for today and it's very interesting. I think this does look like a defense of BNB. People are comparing this to an FTX, the FTT token, their FTT token that collapsed. What are your thoughts on this? Do you think Binance is about... No, no. So from my perspective, so I'll just give you a bit of market sizing here and why this could make sense and even something I don't think I've ever mentioned to Dylan, but it's something that I saw famously Dylan, of course, with Bitcoin Magazine published last November. His predictions on BNB in line with what we saw with FTT. I get it, right? We're dealing with two big exchanges here. Now, at my time at Kraken, when I worked in the strategy division of Kraken, one of the things we did indeed was look up the market sizes, the market characteristics. always So I had questions about what was going on over at FTX because there was no business there. There was some other business that they were doing, but it wasn't like get a bunch of people in the door and get them trading and slinging shitcoins. Now, with Binance, that's really what is happening. They have a huge user base, like unbelievable user base. And if you think about the Binance coin for a second, look, it doesn't really matter up or down. It should make money when it sinks because it's just about transaction. It's like loyalty points for transactions, right? You pay fees with the coin and it's got its own internal market within Binance. They also force companies that want to list on Binance to hold a certain amount. So there's sort of a business backing to this coin. It isn't just like, oh, look, I'm wicked rich and Tom Brady works for us and you borrow my coin and I borrow your coin and we all just be OTC trading together. The difference always is in the character of the people, you know, CZ, look, I get why a lot of people would say shitcoiner, right? I get all of that. And that's true. And you don't need to defend him on that. But about what SPF did, like going out of his way to rob people. No, we're not dealing with a thief here, right? Like whatever I have to imagine for what's going on inside of Binance, it's in probably the best faith possible. I just don't imagine. Now, I could be wrong. I have zero proof, right? Other than what I've seen in the market, other than what I've seen the company do, other one that I've seen from CZ himself. I've been lucky enough, you know, over the years before Binance, during Binance, early days of Binance, I've interacted with him a bunch. Look, he's not a criminal. He's not a criminal, right? Now, that doesn't mean he's innocent. It doesn't mean anything. It's not the same scenario. There is a credible reason why the coin would go up. It's just basic economics. It's for trades. People getting out of their positions and shitcoins into Bitcoin makes him money. It does. And it makes the Binance coin money or whatever, right? Like a market stampede also makes that coin, you know, it's transactions. So it's relevant. So more transactions equals the coin does stuff. Now, again, all I'm saying is there is a credible scenario. I have not checked it. I have not analyzed any of this stuff. On -chain, off -chain, forensically, nothing, right? It's really just, is CZ a criminal? Because the criminality was a big part of what went wrong in FTX, right? The criminality, the political influence, that's all a big part of the story here. That's why we weren't dealing with an exchange that had millions upon millions of retail users around the world. Binance really does have that. This is not smoke and mirrors. They're not trying to, you know, oh, you know, some people are on exchange. The web page of binance .com is one of the top visited web pages on planet Earth. On the planet. So, you know, it's credible that the coin would buck the trend only because it's like readership at a media company in a way. It can go up during a market crash, right? Well, it could also be, like you were saying, the coins listed on Binance, they need to hold a certain amount of reserves of BNB. Well, those coins themselves could be in trouble. So, it wouldn't necessarily have to be Binance as an institution or CZ as an individual. It could be any of the other institutions that have coins. You got it. Because these are all centralized and all that stuff. Also, I remember when FTX went down, I said that I thought Binance had a much more legitimate business. And they serve a big function in the space being connected with East Asia, right? Being connected with China. And so, this is, I don't see it as an FTX, but it's possible. We have to keep watching and see what happens. Yeah, any other thoughts? Yeah, even to reiterate the point of view on the character of CZ. Now, again, anything is possible here. But I think he deserves as much good faith assumptions as someone like Brian Armstrong gets, right? Who people just imagine. But I mean that in a complementary way. No one out there is saying Brian Armstrong is a lying, scamming. Oh, I do. Okay, well, I'm wrong. Sorry, then. Well, then I miss the perception. What I mean to say is I just wouldn't put him in that category. Well, most people out there, Brian Armstrong is a legitimate businessman. And I don't think that he is, like even in the court case or in the lawsuits against Coinbase, it's not being alleged that they were like openly trading with customer funds or anything like that. Coinbase was just partaking in this staking scheme. So, yeah, I don't see Brian Armstrong as nearly in the same school as SBS, for sure. Yeah, that's all I want to say is that we can get clouded as Bitcoiners when we look at industries and the principles of scam coins and all that. I'm totally down with that. I get it, right? A lot of these things are scams. Bitcoin is a different situation and I get why people want to reiterate all the time. But even within the world of scam coins and the people who do business over there, there are legitimate people who want a better world and whose worldview are aligned with the most maxi Bitcoiners out there. And so I just mean to say he's one of those guys, right? That's my perception. CZ is here for the overall Bitcoin standard implementation in the world. And I don't think he's trying to make a buck off of Binance coin. I think it's good that it worked and it was good for business and probably wants it as marketing.
Thinking Crypto News & Interviews
A highlight from FTX SAM BANKMAN-FRIED GOES TO JAIL! GEMINI XRP, SEC GARY GENSLER BITTREX & ARK BITCOIN ETF DELAY
"Welcome back to the Thinking Crypto Podcast, your home for cryptocurrency news and interviews. If you are new here, please hit that subscribe button as well as the thumbs up button and leave a comment below. If you're listening on a podcast platform such as Spotify, Apple, or Google, please leave a five star rating and review. Well, folks, I'm sure many of you will have already heard, but Sam Bankman -Fried is going to jail. The judge has revoked his bail. So he's going to be going to jail and waiting for trial in October. The Department of Justice previously pushed to revoke Bankman -Fried's bail in late July. So the sweet music of justice is playing out here, folks. And this is obviously great news because Sam Bankman -Fried committed epic fraud, obviously taking users' funds, co -mingling it, sending it to Alameda Research where his clown friends and all these fools who didn't know what they were doing were losing money. And of course, that's not how you do business, right? Straight up fraud. And he was pretending to be crypto's golden boy, giving millions of dollars in campaign donations, spending millions in marketing and much more. He fooled a lot of people, folks like Tom Brady, some of the biggest celebrities. But, you know, justice has to play out here, folks. So the revocation has or was handed down during a Friday court hearing dedicated to deciding whether the FTX founder's bail should be pulled. Bankman -Fried will be held in custody ahead of his impending trial scheduled for October of this year. In his ruling, Judge Lewis Kaplan reportedly said there was probable cause to believe that Bankman -Fried had attempted to tamper with the witnesses and therefore violated the terms of the bail. The DOJ cited a few instances where Bankman -Fried had violated his bail with the most recent happening on July 20th. Federal prosecutors have accused Bankman -Fried of witness tampering after he allegedly attempted to discredit the former head of Alameda, Caroline Ellison, who was apparently his girlfriend as well, by leaking her diaries to The New York Times. So activity shady here from Bankman -Fried. He continues his fraudulent activity, folks, right? He's trying to throw Caroline and these other folks under the bus because he knows they've got a ton of dirt on him, but he can't take it like a man. He's got to try to, you know, game his way out of this. So however, the prosecutors didn't take issue with Bankman -Fried's communications with the press, saying he was right to speak and defend himself. But they allege that Bankman -Fried has repeatedly tried to corruptly influence witnesses and interfere with a fair trial through attempted public harassment and shaming. So great move by the judge here. Send his ass to jail and we'll see where this goes. My gut feeling has been all along, just because of this guy's connections and all the campaign donations, that he's not going to see much jail time. But I hope I'm wrong, because justice has to play out here, folks, not just because you gave campaign donations or your parents are connected to politicians. You don't get to pay for the crime that you did. You have to pay for it, right? You do the crime, you pay the time. And this guy, big time fraud, he's on the same level as a Bernie Madoff. Obviously, he committed way larger fraud with billions of dollars. But we got to keep putting the pressure on our representatives to make sure this guy sits in jail. All right. Let's move ahead. We got some big news. Gemini, the crypto exchange, which is owned by the Winklevoss twins, has officially added XRP for trading. Here's what Tyler Winklevoss had to say regarding this. XRP is now available on Gemini. It's important to note how we got here. Instead of creating clear rules for crypto, the SEC has resorted to suing everyone. It lost its case against Ripple, and a judge provided clarity when Gary Gensler wouldn't. America deserves better. Well put. And here, look, the Winklevoss twins are also in a big back and forth and fight with DCG, Digital Currency Group, and Barry Silbert. They've been suing each other. We know that the earned funds, which sit on Gemini, or which were processed through Gemini, are held in Genesis trading, and they're locked so users can get their funds. We know DCG has been having a lot of problems with Genesis trading. So here, a Gemini lawsuit is filed with misrepresentations, DCG claims, in motion to dismiss. The Gemini suit is pointing fingers at the wrong defendants, DCG claims, in the motion to dismiss. Well, to be honest, Barry Silbert and DCG don't look very good right now because they own Genesis trading, and the funds are stuck on there. It's not Tyler and Cameron and Gemini's fault. They were operating under normal pretenses, and look, they can get the funds. So that really sucks for the users, but I hope they get this resolved soon. Now folks, remember what I was saying in my last podcast, that with the SEC's attempt, not that they actually appeal, but their attempt to appeal because it has to be approved first, I told you FUD was going to follow, right? Literally the next day, August 10th, article comes out from Fortune, Ripple versus SEC, why the crypto industry may have celebrated too early. So it's coming, folks. Be prepared. You're going to see a lot of FUD articles, people trying to short crypto, people, look, even articles planted by the SEC and Gary Gensler, we know they do a lot of media pushes to push their narrative, right? Even though many of the items that Gary Gensler puts out there is false, it's lies. And that's why we have to keep exposing him. And that's why I keep calling him a scumbag regulator. He's not a good faith regulator. Now attorney John Deaton reiterated what this is, what the SEC is trying to do because there's a lot of FUD out there and a lot of lies. So John said, everyone needs to understand what this is and isn't. This is only a pre -motion letter. It's asking the judge permission to file a formal motion, asking her to allow the SEC to then ask the second court or circuit court of appeals to accept an early appeal. It's just like when I filed a pre -motion letter asking permission to file a motion to intervene. Granting the pre -motion letter does not mean she will grant the underlying motion. As in my case, I expect judge Torres to grant this motion. This will then allow her to even more fully explain her reasoning and to also further make it appeal proof. It will also allow her an opportunity to address anything Rakoff said. So talking about judge Rakoff in the Tara Luna case, who once again, people are taking what his comments on which is not really entirely focused on the Ripple lawsuit, but just a passing comment as gospel, as though that's law, but it's not. The ruling by just Torres is law. So it doesn't matter who's blowing hot air and whatever they say. So let's see how things progress, but just know the facts folks. Now, a quick word from our sponsor that is Uphold. Uphold is an amazing, great platform that I've been using since 2018. So I can vouch for this platform. I actually use it. In fact, when the Ripple lawsuit was going on, they were the only exchange to list XRP. So I was buying the XRP dips during the lawsuit when other exchanges delisted XRP. They have 10 plus million users, 250 plus cryptocurrencies, and they're available in 150 countries. You can also trade precious metals and equities on this platform. If you'd like to learn more about Uphold, please visit the link in the description. All right, folks, let's move ahead. We got more scumbag moves by scumbag regulator, Gary Gensler. So you all may recall the SEC went after Bittrex, which is one of the crypto exchanges in the market. As a result, they had to leave the United States. They shut their doors here in the U .S. and apparently they decided to settle with the SEC, which really sucks. And I understand, look, they don't have the capital to fight the SEC. You know, it's not like Coinbase and Grayscale, but it really sucks because this gives Gary Gensler a win that he can run around and say, see, see, these guys admitted to it. But many times they just can't fight, right? It's hard to fight the government. So here's what the SEC tweeted today. We announced that crypto asset trading platform Bittrex Incorporated and its co -founder and former CEO William Shehara agreed to settle charges that they operated an unregistered national securities exchange broker and clearing agency. Now in the full statement on the SEC's website, here's an important part of this, despite everything the SEC is saying that crypto assets were offered and sold security. Here's the key note. As part of the settlement, the defendants neither admit nor deny the SEC's allegations. So obviously the SEC goes around like a mob shaking you down and they grab as much money as they can. It's not in good faith instead of providing clarity to the market. They're using regulation by enforcement, which we all know does not work. It's failing. But the silver lining is that we have some big players who are not putting up with this garbage, one being Ripple, second being Coinbase, the other being Grayscale. And I hope other players, I think Binance is going to fight as well. They have the resources, they have the capital to put up a fight against the SEC. And Gary Gensler, he's not in a good spot. Despite this Bittrex news, he's not in a good spot, folks, that Ripple defeat was a big one and it looks like Coinbase could get their victory, folks. So we'll see what happens. And I think a lot of people are also saying that Grayscale could win as well. Now, speaking of the industry going after the SEC, here we have Rodrigo and I forgot his last name, but he's legal and policy at Paradigm. He tweeted out the following today. Today, Paradigm and A16Z Crypto filed a joint amicus brief in the SEC's case against Coinbase that demonstrates why the SEC's approach is unsupported by case law and represents a significant and problematic expansion of its regulatory authority.

A highlight from How To Make Millions In Crypto Even When Price Is Boring!
"What is going on everybody? Welcome back to the channel. My name is Frankie Candles and in this video I want to talk about how you can make a ton of money in crypto without waiting for the bull run We're talking crypto gains regardless of price action if that sounds good to you hit that like button subscribe to the channel and Watch until the very end of this video because I've got the sauce on YTA changes everything when it comes to crypto trading Let's get into it This Is the number one trick in predicting markets I'm gonna give it to you here in the first minute of this video So here it is technical analysis is based on probabilities at any time We're looking at the charts. It can absolutely be said that the next move could go in either direction It's that dreaded saying it could go up it could go down that nobody wants to hear but that's because they're not hearing it correctly Ta is about collecting information and deciding what is most likely going to happen next That's what I'm teaching over on the Frankie candles YouTube channel and the candle mafia is taking it all the way to the bank So before we go any further, make sure you hit that subscribe button smash the like and click that notification bell So let's get into why probability is so important and how you can use it to make money to do that We've got a hit rewind and revisit some of the times when the market could have gone either way and ta gave us a map When we were in uncharted waters, the first stop on our trip back to the future of crypto is April of 2022 Bitcoin just had a huge double top that took six months to complete We got to almost $60 ,000 the first time and then 69 at the second top on November 8 2021 The Grinch stole some of our crypto gains in December and by April Everyone was wondering when the bull market was going to restart Prices had cooled off to 40k and a lot of people wanted to see a moonshot to at least $100 ,000 many people were calling for that number on YouTube and crypto news and even in the mainstream media expert predictions mostly agreed that $100 ,000 would be the top for Bitcoin and I know I wanted to believe it as well But one thing was holding me back and I'll tell you about that in a second crypto would capture the attention and investment capital of the masses it seemed Unstoppable like maybe the four -year cycle was gonna break and we'd see a super cycle for Bitcoin it seemed possible that if Bitcoin regained momentum it could get to a hundred K or even smash through that to $300 ,000 some were even calling for a million but guys in all this positive sentiment there was something that caused me to go against the grain and say what no one wanted to believe at the time and that was The bear market may be coming up sooner than we thought the reason for me thinking this was that I spotted a blood diamond Starting to pop up on the weekly timeframe for Bitcoin now If you don't know what a blood diamond is Simply put it's just a very bearish signal and when you have a bear signal like that on a high timeframe like the weekly it Could be catastrophic from super cycle dreams to bear market dread. I can't say my opinion was very popular at the time I got absolutely Roasted in the comments But let's go back and define what a super cycle is and why everyone thought it would happen Bull and bear markets are written into the Bitcoin code They're there to catalyze the price making sure we don't get too bored and that the value increases over time That's how incentives to secure the network keep going and ultimately how Bitcoin stays alive as you know The bull market is triggered by the Bitcoin having when block rewards are slashed and there's a supply shock less Bitcoin becoming newly available makes it harder to get and Price only has one place to go and that is up a super cycle in Bitcoin would mean skipping the bear market Entirely and a lot of people were calling for that in April of 2022 when it looked like we were getting just a pullback And there have been super cycles in things like global commodities coin desks crypto news roundup for April 21st 2022 was talking about faster mainstream crypto adoption Spearheaded by German institutions and bullish news of bitcoins three -day price rally in April of 2022 people were googling things Like what crypto will soar in 2022 or what's the next crypto to explode in 2022 in? Retrospect the answer to all of those questions were none of them But at the time everyone felt mega bullish and like I said before I would have loved to see a super cycle to all that Positive sentiment and investor attention and crypto was the bull case the maybe it goes up half of the argument But the blood diamond showed me that even though everyone was so bullish It could actually go down low enough even to start the bear market And this is exactly what I was talking about on the live stream at the time when I was getting absolutely roasted That's when I started telling everyone Hey I know we've got Tom Brady headlining FTX Snoop Dogg is buying up NFTs and a board eight yacht club hit an all -time high Floor price of 128th on April 30th, but there's a pretty good chance that we could go down That's the thing with ta Monkey pictures were the same price as a two -story house couldn't have really gotten more bullish than that And sure we could have gone up from there But the ta was pointing to a Molotov cocktail coming our way of interest rate hikes from the Fed the Luna collapse followed by FTX Three hours capital Celsius and the whole gamut of insolvent exchanges and lending platforms I say this a lot in ta show me the charts and I'll tell you the news Although we didn't know what was next the chart showed us something might be brewing this happened again when FTX collapsed in November of 2022 but this time we were getting the signal in the opposite direction It was a total shock After all, it was a crypto company that seemed too big to fail and when it did everybody expected lower lows Don't forget FTX imploded after Luna collapsed Celsius froze withdrawals and exchanges were becoming insolvent Crypto had been hurt so badly already and it seemed like this news would push the price lower and a lot of people were looking At price targets such as 10k, which by the way, many people are still forecasting Once again, though the charts gave me the contradictory indication It looked like there was a possibility that we could be forming something called a bullish divergence on the weekly time frame Which a lot of times could mark the bottom if you're interested in how to spot these on the chart So you could take advantage of this stuff as well. Check out my youtube channel Frankie candles now This signal gave us the indication that price might want to start back in the upward direction It almost didn't make sense FTX owned a lot of digital asset and was connected to a lot of crypto projects and companies So why wouldn't it take crypto prices down with it? But the technicals were strong and I had to call something that no one expected not only could we go up but this could Potentially be the bottom of the bear market that was around when prices were at about seventeen thousand dollars Every good technical analyst will give a bull case and a bear case Reasons that price could go up or could go down the trick is really looking at the bear case and the bull case and then deciding what the more likely outcome is and going with a Trade plan that gives us the best shot at a win and that's how the candle mafia stays on top Which by the way, if you guys aren't a part of the candle mafia Don't forget to drop a sub on my channel Frankie candles. And with all that being said guys, that's all the time I got for this video.
The Bill Simmons Podcast
A highlight from Part 1: USAs World Cup Collapse, Basebrawls, Jets Optimism, Life in The G-League and The OC 20 Years Later | with Gabe York and Zoe Simmons
"Coming up, an unexpected two -part podcast cameo from me. It's next. We're also brought to you by the Ringer Podcast Network, where we turned over Sean Fennesey and Amanda Dobbins' big picture feed to Brian Raftery. It's a narrative podcast called, Do We Get to Win This Time? How Hollywood Made the Vietnam War. You can find it on the big picture starting on Tuesday. And it is an idea I'm really excited about because it came from a class that I did as a senior in college in 1992. Me and my friend Horgs talked a movies professor into doing a special Vietnam War movies class where we watched basically every Vietnam War movie that had been made up to 1992 and then tried to write a big picture term paper about it. And the thing that was really fascinating about that class and something that stuck with me was just that whole concept of Hollywood reinventing the entire Vietnam experience under the premise of, Did We Get to Win This Time? So we got Brian involved and he turned the idea into an awesome, awesome podcast. I even went and dug up the term paper that I wrote 31 years ago. I thought it was gonna be horrendous. It wasn't bad. I was kind of proud of myself, retroactively 31 years later. Anyway, Do We Get to Win This Time? How Hollywood Made the Vietnam War. It is gonna be in the big picture podcast starting on Tuesday. So that's one piece of business. Second, new rewatchables on Monday night. It is the 300th movie that we've done. It's a special one. We're doing National Lampoon's Vacation. It was time. Meet Chris Ryan, Van Lathan. Yeah, and Van was pushing for it because we wanted to do Christmas Vacation during the holidays and you can't do Christmas Vacation. If we do National Lampoon's Vacation, super fun. Can't wait for you to listen to it. And we'll be running the video at some point on the YouTube channel, youtube .com slash Bill Simmons, where we put up a whole bunch of rewatchables podcasts in case you missed it. Boogie Nights is up there now. Goodfellas, Independence Day, just a slew of them. So if you're bored and you wanna throw on some rewatchables and watch us make fun of each other, there you go. Last but not least, I don't wanna say this is the most important, but it's certainly the thing I spent the most time on. Our documentary that we did about the G League with Religion of Sports and Ringer Films, we combined, and it is premiering on Tuesday, August 8th. It is called Destination NBA, A G League Odyssey. It's really good. We immersed ourselves into the G League season. We followed Scoot Henderson, Gabe York, Ryan Terrell, Mason Jones, and Denzel Valentine. And the big question was, what is this world like? What's it like to be in the G League? And I am really proud of where we landed with it. And we even have, much later in this podcast, Gabe York is gonna come on. He's one of the five that we followed, and he's gonna tell us what it's like as you're holding on to your dream in your late 20s. We try not to spoil the doc too much with Gabe, but I really liked him. He's probably the guy that jumps out of the doc in the most sympathetic way. So look forward for you to watch it. It is prime video, Tuesday, August 8th, Destination NBA. A G League Odyssey. You love basketball, just watch it, it's good. So there you go. This is gonna be part one of a two -part podcast. Gabe is coming up later. My daughter Zoe Simmons is coming up later because we did a whole bunch of OC stuff on the Prestige TV podcast. I was even on two of the episodes. But I ended up watching season one of the OC. And my daughter was watching with us and loved the show. And she was born a year and a half after it premiered. So me and her broke down season one from the perspective of what is it like when somebody 18 watches the OC, a show that is now two decades old. The anniversary was actually August 6th. And what she liked, what she didn't like, what people aren't doing anymore for her kind of audience. And we just dove into it. So that is much later. First, coming out of the gate, I'm gonna open a six -pack because we have a lot to discuss over the past three weeks, all the stuff I missed. So that's gonna be part one. And then part two, which is gonna go up later on Sunday night, me and Rossello doing this evergreen idea that we've always wanted to do. And this seemed like the perfect time because nothing's happening in basketball. So that's gonna be part two later tonight. Part one coming up. First, our friends from ProJax. What's up? All right, I'm taping this. It is Sunday afternoon Pacific time. And I'm gonna open a six -pack. There's a bunch of stories in sports and culture that happened over the last three weeks. I was just writing stuff down, things that would have been fun for podcast segments. I was just like, man, I wish I could have given my thoughts on that. Just gonna rip through them. So I have six and then maybe a couple bonus ones at the end. The first one, the biggest one, was the US women's soccer team, which lost today in penalty kicks to Sweden, scored zero goals in the last two games, scored one goal in the last three games, and that was off a corner kick. You could feel from the beginning that something was off with this team. It was all the ways. You knew in a checklist of what are the red flags? There were just red flags galore. And the only person who was really calling it out in time over and over again was Carli Lloyd, who was doing the Fox studio show. And she was the one person in the horror movie who knows the house is haunted. And everyone's like, shut up. You're not being patriotic. You just wish you were still on the team. She was right. She was right from the get -go. This team, you could see it before the Vietnam game when it was like, look at the new Nike suits. Look at these new suits. And they're all like styling as they head into the locker room. And they're running commercials. And every player has a commercial. There's players who've never done anything of that commercials. And the vibe was just off. They only beat Vietnam three -nothing in a bracket where goal differential was gonna be super -duper important. And that was a huge red flag. And we did the usual thing that we've been doing since 2019, 2015 of, oh, well, they almost scored a bunch of times. Oh, well, if that had gone in or some bad luck. There was just an arrogance to this team. Like they were carrying themselves like the defending champs, the same way like the Denver Nuggets would go into next NBA season. Like we're the champs. I was like, yeah, you are the champs because the season just happened. The World Cup happened four years ago. Everyone's four years older or wasn't on the team. And you could see they wanted to build the team instead of around the identity of, here are these new up and coming awesome stars that are gonna be in your life. They were really latching on to Alex Morgan and Megan Rapinoe. Alex Morgan's 34, Megan Rapinoe's 37. I think one of the differences between the discourse with women's sports and men's sports is that in men's sports, we grasp for angles. And if somebody is disappointing in some way, we really go nuts. Like think of how James Harden's been treated over the last 12 years. So he's one of the 35 best players ever and has taken just an incredible amount of shit. Oh my God, the playoffs, look at his game log. Oh, he choked again. Alex Morgan, who scored twice in her first two games in the World Cup in 2011, she scored once in 2015 in seven games. She scored six times in 2019, five against Thailand in a game that was 13 to nothing, one in the other six, and then scored nothing in the four games this time around. If you take away that Thailand game, she has scored two goals in the last 17 World Cup games. This is the striker. This is the one who's supposed to be the most dangerous player in the field, who's supposed to produce goals. And she hasn't produced goals since the mid 2010s on the national level. And yet it's Alex Morgan. She was supposed to be the next one. We got to keep propping her up and pretending she's a superstar. She's not a superstar. She's really honestly never been a superstar. She certainly hasn't been as impactful as somebody like Abby Wambach was. So you have the team built around her. She's got to play. They play her the entire game, game two, the entire game, game three. She plays like 95 minutes in this game today, and they don't score goals. And the announcers just won't talk about it. It's like being on an AYSO team that your kid's on, and the coach is playing somebody at striker, and everyone's like, why don't they play Sally at striker instead of the coach's daughter? It's like, oh, you know, the coach's daughter. She's got to play there. So you have that, and then you have Rapinoe, who's 37 years old, who's just, unfortunately, great career, legendary, true legend, huge big time player. And when you hit your late 30s in soccer, it's a wrap. She looked like Yudana Rapinoe, not big Rapinoe, and comes out for the last 25 minutes of this game and can't do anything, and then misses the penalty kick. That's the thing. If you're beholden to past performance, you can't expect to succeed in the moment. And I did feel like, what were this team's strengths? Speed. They had Sophia Smith, who really was bad the last three games on the left wing. Like, she just, she couldn't even connect passes. Trinity Rodman, who's a beast. Lynn Williams, who's super fast and athletic and had some really nice moments the last two games. And then Alyssa Thompson, who's the prodigy, who's the, you know, potential tiger or LeBron of this team. 18 years old, best high school player I've ever had. They won't even throw her out there. But this was not a team that could connect passes. They weren't, like, especially creative. The coaching was just bizarre, and we'll never see that guy again. But it was like, the one thing they did have was speed, especially the forwards, and they just threw that away. And Alex, you know, couldn't do anything. So now they're out. It's the most disappointing finish of the last 25 years for the women's team. And it reminds me in a lot of ways that 2004 Olympic basketball team that we had, the USA team. And I tweeted this, I think after the second game, because that was a team that was between eras, like this one was, where all the best players on that 2014, the ones in their primes, weren't that good, except for Duncan. And Duncan was completely banged up. He'd played so many NBA games the last couple of years. I think his knee was hurt. But, you know, it was Iverson and Marbury. The talent, it just was a between eras. And you had guys on the bench, like LeBron and Carmelo and Wade, who were four years away. Kobe wasn't on the team. And it just felt generationally, like we caught that team in the wrong time. The style was wrong. And we learned all these lessons and we moved on. 2008, we win. There's a documentary about it. But this team felt like it was between eras. The Alex Morgan, Rapinoe era, which was basically done. And then you have this era coming up with Rodman and Sophia Smith and Alyssa. And, you know, it's just four years from now, we'll probably be fine. But they need to re -imagine this. And I think if you're gonna learn any lesson from this, it doesn't matter what happened four years ago. It's the World Cup. It matters what's happening now. So that's one thing. Second thing. So Jaylen Brown gets this huge contract, $304 million. Some people seem surprised that it was that much money. Chris Ryan even took a shot at it when we did our library watchables. Hurt my feelings a tiny bit. Mainly because I didn't really have a comeback. Rosella did something on his podcast about how this actually makes sense. This amount of money, when you think of how the salary cap has climbed just since 2015, and it's gonna keep climbing. And there's this world you can go into where you think about just how much everything is gonna cost in the NBA four or five years from now, that Jaylen Brown at $70 million isn't actually gonna be that intimidating. The same way we feel about Tobias Harris for $40 million now, or Klay Thompson, $40 million now. Yeah, you don't really wanna pay $40 million for Klay Thompson, but you can survive it. And I think that's gonna be where the Celtics land with Jaylen. Here's why they had to do it. They're the favorites on FanDuel right now. They're plus 470. The thing that made them the most special and has made them the most special for the last five, six years is the Jaylen Brown -Jason Tatum combo. They've been incredibly successful. The team itself has made five conference finals in the last seven years. They came super close to making the finals last year. I have now gone into the what if zone with that Celtics team where what if Tatum doesn't hurt his ankle on the first play? Do we beat Miami? They were close is the point. And when you're that close, you can't fuck around. This is not Bradley Beal resigning with Washington for 50 million a year when everybody knows you can't get past the eight seed with Bradley Beal. This is different. You're trying to win a title. You're trying to keep all your optionality open. The thing that's a little scary about it, nobody seems to totally know if he wants to be in Boston. This is something we've discussed on this pod. It's been floating out there. The fact that he wasn't happy about landing in the Kevin Durant trade rumors a couple years ago. And just in general, where the league is now, where as Woj called it, the transfer portal, where people get their contract first and then they decide what they want to do. And I think for the Celtics, they know they bought themselves a year with Jalen and they are still one of the favorites to win the title. And a lot of it's going to depend on health and Porzingis. You could also, I don't want to make the case, but you might be able to make the case that Brown had a fucked up hand last year. Cause he did. Cause he sliced his hand open. It was bleeding even during the Philly series. And maybe that was why his ball handling went sideways. Listen, you got to do the contract. It just breaks your brain. I remember a million years ago, Sports Illustrated and Inside Sports say every year they would have like a salary issue. And they would talk about these guys are making $1 million a year. And it seemed like so much money. And now where we're heading with the money, plus the NBA is the meteorites deal. The moment any of these guys becomes unhappy, what do you do? Because you're paying Jalen, let's say you're paying him 55 million a year. Plus he is the trade kicker, which the team has to pay. Right? So if he decides after a year, you know what? I'm tired of being the scapegoat. Everybody loves Jason. I'm like the middle brother of this team. I want my own team. I want to go to Houston or Atlanta. You got to trade me. What are the Celtics going to do? On top of who would want out, you don't have a lot of options and you turn into what the situation Portland's in with Deem. And then on top of it, it's so much money. It's impossible to get any sort of a fair trade for the guy. So they had to do it. And optionality the that comes out of it is frightening. I remember in the early 2000s, when the first time the contracts kind of went nuts and you would see that people get signing like six -year, $100 million deals, seven -year, $110 million deals. And the Celtics really, really stupidly traded for Vin Baker. One of the worst trades of the last 30 years for Boston Sports. A trade so bad, you knew it instantaneously. And I wrote a piece that you can probably find somewhere in the ESPN archives about it, where I compared it to the end of Thelma Louise when Harvey Keitel is running toward the cliff trying to stop the car from going off the cliff. That's how I thought about the Vin Baker trade when it happened. Then it happens and you just had this salary albatross. It's a salary cap league. And you're like, wow, we just threw away 20 % of our salary cap on this trade. There's going to be a couple of those that are just franchise killers. And whether that leads to them bringing back the amnesty clause, who knows? I wish, I've made this, I've had this idea before. I wish that they had a rule in there that if you drafted a guy, every year that he stays in the team, you get rewarded in some way from a salary cap luxury tax type thing, right? So Jaylen was 2016 draft, this would be his eighth year. Maybe like after the seventh year, because that's usually like the third contract. The guy stays in the team, maybe each year after that, he doesn't count for 2 % of the luxury tax, up to like 30%, something like that. The point is the Warriors should be rewarded for keeping Draymond and Klay and Curry from a tax standpoint, that they were that smart to draft those guys, keep those guys together. They should be incentivized, the players, to want to stay with them because there's some luxury tax stuff that the team gets. And the team should want to be incentivized to take care of those guys because it's also beneficial to them. I just wish they figured out some version of that rule. Anyway, Jaylen was always signing for $304 million. Talk to me in a year, I'll keep my fingers crossed. Next thing, I missed the running back pity party. This was crazy. The running backs all got together and they were really upset about how much money they made. And I don't know what to tell you. There's too many running backs and not enough running back spots. And I don't know if you're trying to build a responsible salary cap team in a collectively bargained era, why would you spend $30 million over two years on a running back unless the running back was awesome? Nobody even wants to spend more than $11 million on running back. So I knew that this was crazy when Damien Harris, who was on the Patriots, who I thought was really good. He's maybe not an elite running back, but a good running back, right? Somebody that if he had been on the Chiefs, he easily could have started for the Chiefs. And he signed with the Bills for like one year, 2 million. And when that happened, combined with Pacheco on the Chiefs' seventh round pick, they won the Super Bowl with him. It's just, this position's devalued. I work on this player, I've been actually working on it the last couple of weeks where I try to rank the players for blue chippers, red chippers, pink chippers, honorable mention, and have this whole point system. And so quarterbacks, Mahomes, who's the alpha of that position, he's worth 10 points. And you could even see this in the point spread. If Mahomes gets hurt, the Chiefs are 10 points, nine points, whatever, less than what they would be as a favorite. They'd switch to an underdog. And you go on down the line. Jalen Hurts, I had him as an eight. I had Joe Burrow as a nine. And you go on, you keep going down, and it's like, Geno Smith's probably a two. But then you look at some of the other positions and you have to value them the same way the salary cap values them and teams value them. Guards, they aren't worth that much. Running backs, sorry, they're not worth that much. My top running back was three points because ultimately running backs don't really matter that much. In the last like five, six years, I would say Derrick Henry was the only running back that you could definitively say, this guy almost won the Super Bowl. Like he was that good. Other than that, you know, it's plug and play, quarterbacks, it's receivers. It's much harder to find the number one receiver. Every team needs one. It's much more tangible if you don't have the number one receiver. And it's much easier to just kind of scrap together the running back position. And yet people went nuts about this. We ironically had this in the NBA with centers. You know, Vucevic, who's a really good offensive player, he signed for 60 million for three years, 20 million a year. And Jaylen Brown's going to make $52 million a year. Is Jaylen Brown two and a half times better than Vucevic? No, it's just, he plays a way more important position. You can only play one center at a time. You can patch together the center position. You could have like Isaiah Hartenstein for $8 million. You could, you know, get Robert Williams for 16. You don't need to spend what Phoenix did on Eaton where they're paying $8 and $30 million a year at center. And you don't really need to do that. You kind of feel obligated if you don't want to lose the asset. But I think the NBA is going to go this way eventually where unless it is Jokic or Embiid, the center or Bam Adebayo, it's a bonus. You could argue that was already an overpay. They gave him a huge extension. The Lakers just gave Anthony Davis $60 million a year as an extension. I would argue that's a little frightening. I feel like you could patch together the center position. What really matters in basketball is having the creator. And this was the argument five years ago with Luka versus Eaton for the number one pick. And I made this argument. It was like, go look at who wins the NBA title every year. It's always the people who have the creator. There's somebody who's on the perimeter of the ball in their hands. Even Jokic, who wins the title this year, he was a creator. He's not a typical center, right? He's basically their point guard on offense who could post up. So this happened in the NBA. Nobody went nuts. And this is happening in football. And is this where football is. If you want to make the most amount of money playing in the NFL, I don't know why you would be a running back. I would be a cornerback. I would be a wide receiver. I'd be an edge rusher. But if you're a running back, you know your shelf life's probably like five, six years. You know the money is not totally gonna be there. Now they're in this, like you have people like JK Dobbins, like, I might hold out. It's like, really? You didn't barely even play in the field. Barkley said he was gonna hold out. And then, you know, probably looked at it. And the money for Barkley is like 10, 11 million. That's unfortunately the market. So you can't fix this. They collectively bargained it. And until we get to the next CBA, I don't know how you fix it. I thought it was really weird. It felt like people had nothing to talk about. And it was like, ah, let's feel bad for running backs. All right, let's take a break. And then I'm gonna finish the rest of the six pack. All right, picking up on the six pack. We're gonna talk a little more football. I talked about the running back pity party. This is a different kind of party. The Jets optimism, which has just been stunning to me over the course of July. I have Jets fans in my life. These are people that usually have no hope and are very reminiscent of the pre -2004 Red Sox fans, just assuming the worst at all times. Why does God hate us? All that stuff. And now they have this crazy optimism based on the fact that they brought in Aaron Rodgers, who I did not think was very good last year, just throwing that out there. I wouldn't say he was bad, but for Rodgers, he was bad. I mean, we thought Rodgers was, he was the reigning MVP and we thought he was still one of the five or six most impactful players in the league. And I don't wanna read stats to you for the next six minutes, but deep balls, he was bad. Turnovers, he was bad. Leadership, he was bad. And the case for Rodgers coming back would be, well, he's gonna be rejuvenated. The Jets, New York City. This is his team. He got away from Green Bay. He's got Hackett back. I get it, but he's also at an age where we've really only seen Tom Brady succeed at a high, high level at the age that Rodgers is at. I was trying to figure it out. I have my QB ratings and I had, you know, the top tier is Mahomes and Burrow and Allen and Herbert and Hertz. Those have to be the top five. Then it drops off and it's Lamar Jackson and Lawrence. And then Rodgers, probably a hair underneath him with a chance to play himself up with those guys. But from what we saw last year, I'm not ready to put him there. So he's the 10th best quarterback in the league, probably. 10th or ninth best quarterback in the league, probably. Well, they have no offensive line. And I don't understand why people keep glossing over this where it's like, hey, Rodgers and Garrett Wilson, he's one of the best receivers in the league and Breece Hall's going to come back and the defense is really good. And it's like, yeah, the offensive line is terrible. Beckton and Dwayne Brown, sure tackles again. And then you have Robert Salah as the coach, who I cannot say I thought that Jets were crisply coached last year. Whatever he was doing with Zach Wilson was insane. No idea if that guy's even a decent coach. So I'm already worried about your offensive line, the age of your quarterback, and the competency of your coach. And that's before we get into the hard knocks curse, because for some reason they're doing hard knocks, the incredible Super Bowl hype already. And then we have the schedule, which is the AFC East has just got screwed by the schedules this year. The Jets, just for quarterbacks in 17 games, they got to play Josh Allen twice, they got to play Mahomes, Herbert, Hertz, Dak Prescott, and Deshaun Watson. And then they also have to play Miami twice. We'll see what we get out of two this year. And then a really good Pats defense. And then Denver, who knows, they might be rejuvenated. So Danny Dimes, they have to play him. It is a brutal schedule, so you have that. And then on top of everything else, you're the Jets. I was there with the Red Sox before 2004, and this is probably just as bad, where you just think the worst possible things can happen is all the time. You're not allowed to have optimism when you're Jets fans. You can be cautiously optimistic. There was an entire Curb Your Enthusiasm episode once, season 10, episode seven, about being a Jets fan. And it was called, I think, the ugly section. Nick Kroll was the maitre d'. And part of the episode was about, he would put these people in different sections of the restaurant, depending on how attractive they were. But there was this other plot, Larry's buddy who loved the Jets, kills himself. And Larry becomes convinced it was because of the Jets, that the Jets killed his friend. This was only a couple of years ago. So now they get Aaron Rodgers, and everything's good. And they're gonna win the Super Bowl. I don't see it, guys. I don't wanna step on my football stuff too much, but I'd be shocked. And Lombardi points out the defense that everybody's ready to compare to the 85 Bears. Lombardi said they had two turnovers over the last eight games last season. So that means something too. I am dubious, to say the least. If you're gonna tell me a tortured franchise actually turns it around this year, I want a tortured franchise that doesn't have expectations. Because the Lions are another one. Everybody's ready to put them in the Super Bowl or close. And the only case for them is just pretty explosive offense. They couldn't stop anybody last year. And the NFC is terrible. But that's another one where is that a fan base that should be super excited and have a ton of hype? The one that's kind of lurking that fits in this group is the Browns. Because the Browns are actually super talented. They're in a winnable division. Burroughs already hurt. And I think they're four to one to win the AFC North on FanDuel, something like that. Their over -under is, I think it climbed up.

What's Up With the Tom Brady Deal? Michele Tafoya Weighs In
"What's up with the Tom Brady deal this year? I mean, he takes two weeks off. I mean, everybody's saying that gisele told him he had to spend time with the kids. I mean, I mean, is this just Tom being Tom? Well, it depends on what which Tom we're talking about. Tom is an incredible competitor. But, you know, over the years, we would ask him, and we covered the Patriots a ton. And we have what we call production meetings. A couple of days before the game or the night before the game depending on if the team was home or on the road, we'd sit out Chris and I are producer director. We'd sit in a room with Bill Belichick for a while, and Tom Brady for a while, then, you know, maybe a defensive player for a while, and you get this opportunity to really ask your own questions to make your broadcast unique. And just about every year for the past 5 years, we'd say, so Tom, someone would say, what do you think? How much longer? And he always bring up his family and his wife, and you know, that his wife really wanted him to spend more time. I don't think that was any secret. It was out there, you know, look, he's 45 now. And she's been holding down the fort. Now, we can all accept that they've probably got a lot of help at home. But who knows? I mean, look, she's a very involved mom. I've seen it when she brings the kids to the Super Bowl. Having said that, this whole time you're saying, okay, so Tom, when are you going to wrap it up here when did we get it surprised me? It didn't surprise me that Tom retired. It shocked me that he went back. It shocked me because I thought once he made the decision, that was a done deal and there was no way he was going to turn his back on that decision. So I was really surprised that he decided to go back and my hunches, maybe his wife was too, and look, there are a lot of rumors out there fight that seems to be the consensus,

Aaron Rodgers Emerges From the Darkness
"Who's been a top contender for Friday's finest for the last few weeks. Has been the mercurial quarterback of the Green Bay Packers. Aaron Rodgers. Now, deciding that he did not want to retire under the same year Tom Brady did, and he wanted to continue to play. He's following that great packer tradition of leaving the Green Bay Packers and going to New York. It looks like if things can get everything settled. I mean, is there ever, I mean, this is almost like the Howard Hughes of football. I mean, just this reclusive, I'm going to sit in the dark for two weeks and then come back out and talk. And then when he actually came back out this week and said it on the pat McAfee show, well, I'm going to play and I intend to play with the jets. Well, I loved the I don't know if I'm going to try to I think it's a direct one. He said, I came out of the darkness and something was a little bit off. Like, yeah. Okay. The real world, buddy. You know, I just, I feel like every fan of every other team in the NFC north wants to hold a press conference to thank God for getting Aaron Rodgers out of their division. But realistically, it's something that bothers me. I think this is, this goes for pretty much anything. This is not, we don't even have to keep this to just sports, but the idea that he knew that he knows that he has enough power to a if they want to get rid of him, he can take as much time as he wants. If he really wanted to stay and cause a stink and their organization, he could do that as well. But now he gets to make demands to the team that's looking to get him. Think about all the power that that one man has because he can throw a football 60 yards without blinking.

What Are the Chances of Tom Brady Returning to the Field?
"Scale of one to ten, ten being. He's definitely going to play next year one saying, nope, he's going to be raising kittens with his daughter. Brady back in or not. Is Ted a yes? Then the answer is zero. He is never coming back. I don't think he's coming back. Can we hear real quick? What was the number that Fox News was giving him? Maybe Fox 340. He's retired. I think it was. More than they gave him a gap year. So they only make him stronger. He literally gave him the Kevin Durant contract where they're like, you can skip the first year and you play for three years and we're still going to pay you for that first year. He is not doing anything. Yeah, I think he's done. But also, I think the reason why Aaron Rodgers is even looking for another team for another year is because he doesn't want to be in the same Hall of Fame class as Tom Brady. Yeah. I would do the same.

Super Bowl to Feature Two Jesus Ads as Part of 'He Gets Us' Campaign
"Sunday is the Super Bowl. Can't wait. I love football. I love watching the Super Bowl. I have not missed a Super Bowl since boy, the first Super Bowl I remember, which was Kurt Warner, the greatest show on turf versus Tom Brady's first Super Bowl, the 2001 2002 super bowl. And a single Super Bowl advertisement will run you anywhere between 6 to $7 million. Well, an organization that is running ads called he gets us is going to spend $20 million for a Super Bowl advertisement this Sunday. $20 million. Now, you've probably seen some of these ads. It's the he gets us advertisements. Now look, I am all for getting people closer to Jesus. I love it. But is that what this is really doing? Well, let me play one of these advertisements for you, then we're going to welcome Ali be stuckey from the wonderful LB stucky podcast. I'm going to ask the question, is this evangelism? Is this trying to spread the gospel? Or is this open border woke ideology that is appropriating Christianity to try to argue for the dissolution of the American country? Play cut one 26. They've already poured tens of millions of dollars into this ad, play cut one 26. There was some mother in the father who had a son. They lived in a small village and didn't have much money. But they were happy. One day, they hurt the head of their country was sending soldiers to their town. Because he thought they were part of an insurrection. The young family decided to flee. They grabbed only what they could carry. And bran.

Is Tom Brady the GOAT?
"From Santa Barbara has a question Charlie, what do you think of Tom Brady is he the greatest of all time? So there's some questions that honestly don't even need to be debated, but amazingly, this guy who gets paid to spew nonsense on television. What's his name never heard of him before? Mike Francesca, I never heard of him. Says, no, I mean, Tom Brady's overrated. Play cut one 12th. Tom Brady made himself great. He wasn't great. He was in great in college. He lost his job, which is what fueled them his whole life. He's the most competitive person anybody has ever met. And he worked harder than anybody ever to be this good. He made himself this good. He didn't he didn't start out that way. He was drafted lady at a terrible body. He took him time to do it. He's not the best regular season quarterback I've ever seen, Peyton Manning was. He's not the best Super Bowl quarterback whoever lived Joe Montana is. What he is, though, is the guy who played the longest, and he won the most games. He won the most Super Bowl, so he will be remembered because nobody's going to play 23 years, and nobody's probably ever going to have a chance to win that many super bowls. It's almost impossible to do. He was in the right place with the right coach and he was that competitive, so is he the greatest of all time or not, Mike? Right place right time he's absolutely nothing, okay? So basically his argument is that he's a system quarterback. I mean, not only does Brady have the most career passing touchdowns, most career passing yards, most career completions, most career wins as a starting quarterback, most seasons with 4000 or more passing yards, but he also has won the most super bowls. 7, is it really 7 that's so hard to believe? 7 super bowls? The first football game I ever remember watching as a human being. Was Tom Brady versus the greatest show on turf.

Is A.I. Taking Over Humanity?
"Says Charlie, AI might be able to write and do some fantastic things. However, creativity isn't one of them when it comes to creative writing in my opinion. I write fiction as a hobby. I know that my writing comes from within. I don't follow any rules or guidelines. The story writes itself, I'm just described. It's this nuisance that makes the difference. Now, Don, I understand that, but if the technology continues to progress and the technology is able to, for example, upload 3 million different fiction books and read it within a minute and then see patterns of what is most popular, language, combinations, diction, syntax, vocab, and then regurgitate it, it will crowdsource its own evolution, and it will learn how to write fiction.

Why You Should Play Around With ChatGPT
"This new app. It's not even an app. It's a platform chat GPT. Which is a chat bot launched by OpenAI in November of 2022. It's built on top of OpenAI's GPT-3, family of large language models. If you have not played around with it, I encourage you guys to do that so you can really grasp how things are changing in front of you. As I showed on the program yesterday, you can open up, I mean, I bought an app equivalent. You have to pay for the service. It uses the technology chat GPT as the back, but there's no waiting line because you just pay like 20 bucks or something. To do it. And so you just say, write a poem about Tom Brady retiring because we are going to talk about that in the next segment. And so then it will take a little second, and then we'll write a poem. It's unique and it basically quote unquote has a mind of its own. Yeah, I mean, essentially, it does and should creep you out. So right now the machine is writing a poem. Tom Brady, the greatest of all time, his career was the thing a sublime he won 6 super bowls at the Pats his legacy will never collapse. He was the leader of the team whose skill in talent were supreme. He was the goat no one could deny his greatness will never die. He was the master of the game, his skill and talent were to blame. He was the king of the field, his greatness will never yield Tom Brady, the greatest of all time, his career was a thing of sublime, he'll remember from wherever his legacy will live on forever. So that's just a short poem that the machine automatically generated when I asked it just something randomly. You could do it about almost any book, any topic it'll happen, basically instantaneously. So the obvious is that okay, this is gonna displace a ton of jobs, copywriters, people that mindlessly stare at their screen and angrily type for The New York Times, sorry you're gonna be out of a job because you can easily be replaced because what you do is mindless anyway and this is actually probably even more mindful than you. It is programmed by super woke people, which is very interesting, so almost all their answers tilt in a very left wing direction, right? So you can ask about why conservatives don't have free speech, and we'll talk about eloquently. You could talk about why Biden is the best president. Everybody say anything conservative says we don't do that, which is interesting, but in some ways is a comforting kind of job insurance policy for those of us in right wing world.

How to Respond to the Concept of Systemic Racism
"Have a question here. Charlie, I keep on being told by my teacher that we are a systemically racist country. How do you suggest or recommend I respond to that? Well, that is consistent with what the ingrate Elon Omar consistently says, where she says we need to dismantle the whole system of oppression wherever we find it. Now, Elon Omar, being a beneficiary of the very country that she now wants to dismantle again of people that I have probably the most frustration with and discussed with Elon Omar would be near the top. Her entire life, she lives a life of luxury and convenience. Thanks to the nation that she now wants to dismantle that she calls a pressed. Elon Omar is just parroting postmodern post structuralist, quite honestly, Marx is talking points that really came into focus 1912, 1916 with the presidency of Woodrow Wilson, one of America's worst presidents. Here's Elon Omar cut 61 saying we need to dismantle the whole system of oppression wherever we find it. Honestly, this should be the reason she's kicked off committees. In addition to her anti Jew bigotry, play cut 61. As long as our economy and political systems prioritize profit without considering its profiting, who is being shut out, we will perpetuate this inequality. So we can not stop at criminal justice system. We must begin the work of dismantling the whole system of oppression wherever we find it. The whole system of oppression, what does she mean by that? She means private property rights. If there was to be a single issue, where the American left and conservatives disagree the most, it would be the issue of private property. And that's not an insignificant issue. Unfortunately, that issue becomes far too abstract. Because it seems as if oh, that's just an economic. No, that's a moral difference. In the original draft of the United States, Declaration of Independence, the Declaration of Independence for the United States, I should say. It was life liberty and property when John Locke wrote about the need to own property. It was a moral argument that the government the state does not have the right to what you have earned

Tom Brady Retires... Again
"To the final segment today. I think we're going to take into and it is also again New York Post play this out very well. If you're looking at it, it says we miss you, Tommy. And this is the retirement of Tom Brady for the second time. I run it, not an ironically, I think he probably planned this. It came on the same day he retired last year. Oh, weird. Who would have thought Tom? Look, the post has had some incredible front pages on Tom Brady over the years and some good something bad. I mean, I was going back through some of these James and looking at and frankly, I'd almost forgotten about the flight gate. You know, of course. The balls and anything going by my brain. Anyway, Tom Brady retired. I think he will retire this year. I think he, I think, probably in, you know, look, I'm not getting anybody else's business, you know, for that matter, but you wonder if he really at the end of this year thought, well, maybe should have done it. Hindsight is 2020, hot dog. Yeah. Every month. But now he is, you know, the rumor, you know, again, he's got a ten year already signed contract with fathers. I mean, 375 million or something like that. This is to show you this is interesting. He's the greatest quarterback of all time. I mean, player, you know, that goes. Of course. He might like 324 million playing football. He's gonna make 375 million and I was total in his football career, 20 something years. He's gonna make ten year prior to 375 million sitting in a booth with Fox and he's never been in the booth before. Yeah, I mean, this is like. But don't you feel, I mean, don't you just know Greg Olsen's like saying, really, man? Really? Yeah. You know? Well, first of all, Greg Olson got his shot on the big stage and he blew it. Was a disaster. But he's been Greg Olsen's fun. He's actually from my neck of the Woods. They play, we used to get our tails handed to us in football by them. I think it was Wayne in northern Holland. I don't know. But this is what I think today, because Tom Brady says he's not Russian of the booth, right? He wants to spend time with his kids and all the other lies he's telling. Because he can take a gap year. I mean, it's open to whenever he wants to come. I mean, isn't that crazy? Yeah, a contractor just whenever you want to show up. Yeah, somebody calls me up and be like, hey, any time you want to show up, here's your tears, $10 million. $365 million for ten years. You're like, okay, cool. I'll see you in a couple years. I'm going to take some time off. That's like winning the lottery and then saying, why don't you just hold my ticket for a couple of months?

"Right, the final episode of Tom Brady's docu series the man in the arena has finally come out. Remember, it was delayed. The first 9 episodes came out, and then there was a long delay on the tenth and final episode. We now have episode ten. It's called the wheel. And it tells the story of Tom Brady making the move to Tampa, leaving New England, going to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, winning a Super Bowl there, and is very first year in Tampa during the COVID year. And first of all, let's acknowledge something. I think this is very important to say, I don't care who you are. I don't care how much you hate Tom Brady or love Tom Brady. It's always going to be impressive to me. And I think it's objectively impressive, whether you hate them or love them, you have to acknowledge the fact that he went to Tampa and in year one, found a way to win a Super Bowl. I don't know how you aren't impressed by that. That's just really, really, really cool. And he kind of defied all odds. I remember when he went to Tampa, how negative the narrative was. He fell off a cliff. He's a terrible football player. I did a film analysis. Remember, saying, hey, he's really good. He needs good receivers. I will always be very, very proud of that video. That was one of the most, one of the most right I've ever been in the history of the career of this show where I'm like, I believe something. I know I'm right. And I was right, and I'm really proud of that. And especially during the early part of that 2020 regular season, Tom Brady's first year in Tampa, nobody believed it was going to work. Even me. As a person who thought Tom Brady was good, I still thought, hey, he's a good quarterback, but it's not working in Tampa. I remember feeling like, things are ugly here. They were like 7 and 5, the buy week, and they were a wild card team that went on to win the Super Bowl, and it.
Strong Opinion Sports
"tom brady" Discussed on Strong Opinion Sports
"I think he's going to be definitely a playoff team. Again, that division isn't very good. He found another team similar to the Patriots for years that are in a division with not much going on to the other three spots. And we'll see, can they win a Super Bowl? That's the question, really, because that's the only reason Tom Brady is going to come back. It's not worth it to him, I think, at this point, to play without trying to and believing you can win a Super Bowl. There is one other funny note on Saturday, so Tom Brady announced he's coming out of retirement on Sunday. 24 hours before that on a Saturday, apparently some guy bought Tom Brady's final touchdown ball, like the ball that was thrown for Tom Brady's final touchdown in the NFL. He bought it for over half a $1 million, 5000 5000. $518,000, 628. 518 $628,000, a little over half a $1 million. I know I butchered that. I'm sorry. It's early in the morning. I'm doing my best. So 24 hours about after that guy bought that football, the final touchdown ball. Brady would announce he's returning to the NFL and that ball lost nearly all of its value. I don't feel bad for that guy though at all. I've thought about this a lot. If you have the money to spend the equivalent of buying a house, over $500,000 on a football, and you lose that money, well, you already spent it on a football. I just don't have any, I don't feel bad for this guy. If a, he's probably a really rich dude with a ton of money. B, he really spent all of his life savings on this football. $500,000 and bought a football instead of a house. I will be learned a really valuable lesson. You can buy a nice house. Think about how many people you could help with $500,000. How many meals you could buy for people? I'm not a big memorabilia guy. I never, it seems like just frivolous stupid spending. But that probably really rich dude. I don't know how many people I can think of in my life. They were going to drop $500,000 on a football. A bunch of normies out here. No one has that kind of money. So I don't really feel bad for this guy. It's kind of funny, though. If anything, it's a warning. Hey, that's a really stupid way to spend your money. On a football? I love football. It's my favorite thing in the world. Do you think I've been spending $500,000 on a Tom Brady football? Get out of here, never. Never in my life. So it's a funny wrinkle, but I just can't get over think of how many people you can help with $500,000. Are you kidding me? Oh, stupid guy. And yeah, it's almost you almost deserve that. You almost get what you have coming to you when you spend that much money out of football. You spend a ridiculous amount of money on a football, and that's worth nothing the next day. Yeah. Sounds about right. Don't do that crap. I don't get it. I don't know. I don't know. Go buy a football. It's like $60 on Amazon. You buy like a duke football for like 90, I think, something like that. That's enough. Anyway, I'm rambling now. But Tom Brady's back should be fun. I wanted to make sure I revisited that..

"What I'm choosing to do now is ignore anybody who's associated with or has ever spoken to Tom Brady. And what they say right now about everything that happened. And I have the utmost respect for all of those people and the work that they do, but I think that they're being lied to. And I think that we're being lied to. And I think that there is a greater thing happening here that I'm not exactly sure how to put my finger on. I just, I can't imagine that you would like underwhelmingly walk away like nothing about this felt right from the beginning and still doesn't feel right. And it's just so weird and now like you said, he just conveniently decides to come back in time to impact free agency. When like, I don't know. I've thought about, this is a legitimately true thing. Like I've thought about like what bathing suit I'd want to buy for like a beach vacation for more than 40 days. And like Tom Brady is thinking about whether or not he wants to hang out with his family yet. And this apparently took him less than two months. I don't buy anything. I don't think this is. Like it all just feels like we're getting marked. Just like his retirement felt like we were all getting marked, you know? This is very raw right now, by the way. It came out like, I don't know, 90 minutes ago and we're here. I'm upset. In front of the podcast, we would have been much more upset. Had we already taped the show. And then it's come back into another segment on it. Let's talk it out a little bit. We will give the disclaimer that this could be complete nonsense. This is where it gets fun. The way I kept on phrasing it right after the season right after the loss of the rams was does Tom Brady want to come back to this to this franchise to a coaching staff that he, you know, doesn't seem to love what they do there. It's a roster that again was going to be very difficult to bring back all of these free agents. You know, certainly a better chance with Brady coming back to the fold. I think there was a lot of truth to some of the smoke that he wanted to come back, but just not in Tampa. Tampa held.

"And they're trying to walk it back so they can do it the way that they wanted to do it. And honestly, Brady deserves that opportunity. So we don't begrudge him for it. But at this point, it is getting a little bit weird because I don't know how long you can drag this out, unless of course he wasn't retiring. In which case, just say so. And that would be fine.

"There's a report from Mike silver. Mike silver actually has a relationship with Tom Brady. So it is interesting there. And, you know, he Brady calls the GM the TV calls sorry Tampa Bay's GM and says, nope, not true. Donnie comes out, puts out a statement. This Don Ye statement is the one that I think Don Ye blew it. I'm gonna be honest. I believe Don Ye's statement is the. Tom Brady senior said it's not true. And supposedly Tom Brady called the GM and said it's not true. Don Ye statement doesn't say it's not true. It says, I'm not going to talk about it. He's his agent. He said Tom Brady's going to be the one who talks about it. And I believe if it was false, he would have outright denied it. There is no reason not to deny something that's not true. So I think Yi is the one that puts this whole thing on shaky ground. But at this point, it is hard to know with certainty what's going on in the Tom Brady situation. So again, that's catching everybody up here. I still strongly believe it's done. Would it be stunned if we played this game for a week, Evan, or two weeks? No. I would be a little stunned because Tommy now it's unnecessary drama. Tom Brady's not Brett Favre, right? We're not gonna do this whole thing where we're tracking helicopters and playing and have a paparazzi up over the ranch in Montana. I don't think we're going down that route with Tom Brady. And he's trying to put full court press now. All of his guys Don Ying, his father, these are all of his. Get him out there. Get up there. Mike silver is just get this out there. I'm sure we'll have Tom Curran or somebody locally here in Boston soon. That will have a scoop on this as well. And so all of his mouthpieces are going out now and trying to walk this story back. But if I'm Brady, he's not like I just said, he's not bred far if he's not one of these athletes said that wants this drama. And I actually think that there is something else to be said for the fact that tomorrow is championship Sunday in the NFL and there are two huge games. I don't think Tom Brady wants this story to overshadow the two team the two games tomorrow. I really don't. I think that he is recognizes that he, you know, it's bigger than the whole thing is bigger than him. And I don't think that he's that type of guy. So whether it's Tom Brady tweeting out an official statement on his own personal account or a video or something like that, I do expect something within the next 12 hours or so from the horse's mouth saying, yes, no, you know, or whatever. Because at this point, they kind of have to, right? He kind of has to either say, I'm not retiring, I'm coming back to Tampa, or I am retiring in the reports are true, but living in this middle land where nobody knows the right answer. I don't think that's really what Tom Brady's all about. So we'll see how quickly they can put it together and whether or not they're able to.

"Get the ball back on the final drive and the defense looks all sorts of sorts. They don't know the final call. Some guys blitz. Some guys don't, they ran cover zero against the rams in a situation where they didn't need to make that call. And I think in a lot of ways they Tom Brady looks at that and says, man, this coaching staff is really hurt me in a lot of ways more than it has helped me. So the plot, I'm still not going to say thickens because I think it just adds again to this idea that Tom Brady wanted this on his own and is pissed. But but Evan, Tom Brady senior. Oh no. Now, tell us K run out in San Fran on the Bay Area news affiliate. He is not retiring, he is saying. Again, this is Tom Brady senior that let me put it up here again, full quote. This is wild. His son is not retiring. He says an online publication started circulating in unsubstantiated rumor that online publication is ESPN. He will not even name them by name. However, a number of NFL insiders are now reporting it. So now Brady senior is jumping in there. Wild. Wild, so on it goes. Again, this is like not to pile on shifter, but if this is wrong and Tom Brady ends up coming back to Tampa Bay next year and was never actually retiring, this is one of the bigger snafus any reporter could possibly have. This is the story of the off season regardless of what happens the rest of the off season. Aaron Rodgers, all these things be damned. Tom Brady retiring from the NFL is the biggest story of the off season. And if that is butchered by ESPN, it's going to be tough to come back from that. It honestly is. Wouldn't it be funny? Like, all of chef's chickens coming home to roost here. All this transactional journalism over the years. You know, getting this one wrong is would be a real, you know, would be a tough one at this point. So we don't know. We don't know. We don't know. Now it is getting fun. Now I wanna stay. Evan and I are gonna stay on the air for a week until this is resolved at this point. Because now this is like a murder mystery, you know, like this isn't just sitting here and telling waxing poetic and telling stories about Tom Brady. This is now getting interesting. There's a little bit of interest. So I say we hang on the air for a little bit longer and just see where this goes. If it's going in one direction or another, I also think I should plug in my computer before it completely runs out of gas. What do you think, Kevin? I agree. I think we can also talk a little bit Josh McDaniels here because as much as this story is going to go back and forth. I don't think we're going to get a definitive answer here. We might not but we've got momentum. I'm afraid to switch gears at this point, but you're right. We can definitely switch to McDaniels very quick. Let's catch everybody up again. And again, a lot of you are already on top of this because people are telling us in the chat what's coming up and what people are tweeting about. ESPN, it's reported late last night, decision imminent by Jason lock on fora. And then earlier today, ESPN reports definitively, it's done. He's leaving. And Tom Brady's retiring..

"All things being equal, even though Tom Brady left went to Tampa won a Super Bowl in his first year proof that he could do it without Bill, lived in a place where he didn't have a guy who was as big of a tyrant as Belichick would have been, you know, lived kind of an easier life over the past couple of years. All things being equal, would he have rather found a way to have made it work here and stayed here forever, had Bill just kind of yielded a little bit. Yeah, I don't know. I think it's tough because I think what is there a tinge of sadness to him? I even thought after that first Super Bowl, he just kind of went through the motions of the Champa Super Bowl. He's like, yay, you know, like there's a piece of him that I don't know, the guy that was on the parade boat was by the guy in the parade but had a good time, yes. Yeah, that was not going through. But I always wonder if there's a piece of a little piece of him died when he left here that he just never wanted it to be this way, you know? I think what ended up happening and Alex Guerrero talked about this in some of the interviews that I did before the week four game right before the return to July stadium and that was he felt like he had deserved because of his accolades because of his experience. A more collaborative effort with Bill Belichick where it wasn't the same relationship coach to player as let's say it was for, I don't know, JC Jackson, or whatever random patriot player you want to name where Tom Brady was a step above. He was essentially a part of the hierarchy a part of the brain power, the brain trust in the Patriots organization as almost a player coach, right? To a degree or somebody that had a hand in decision making in terms of personnel and had a hand in decision making and turns a game planning. And all those types of stuff. And that was never the ship that Bill Belichick was going to captain. He was never going to run an organization where a player was on equal footing as the coach. And I think in a lot of ways.

"We so but we're going to tell you what we believe very strongly is happening because I know there are conflicting reports out there. The news was leaked and Tom Brady had a plan for how he was going to get the information out there. It is now being walked back by some people, but all indications seem to continue to point to Tom Brady, even to the even to the end of saying his mind wasn't made up yet to be able to create enough separation between that and when he actually gets to do it once to control this narrative. It honestly may have to do with a produced piece of content that has yet to come out. There's a lot of things here that are in the works that Tom Brady has a plan for how he wants this word out there and Scheffer and ESPN screwed it up. And right now they're trying to put that put it back in the bag. That is very, very, very, very, very likely what is happening right now? I do not believe the report is wrong. We do not believe it. We do not believe it's being walked back. We don't believe Tom made the decision and then all of a sudden got cold feet and decided against it. If it changes, we will hop back on here and say, whoops, sorry, Tom Brady didn't retire, but we don't believe that that's what's happening right now. Yeah, you said it exactly how it is. This feels because it felt weird that all out that these guys would do it. Yeah, that always happening was an Adam Schefter tweet. It didn't make sense, especially with what we've seen from Tom Brady recently in his career now that it has become a brand man quite frankly, TV 12 and the whole brand has become a part of who he is as a football player, he's got videos, he's got Twitter and social media plans. He's got probably a video of him talking about it and him going one on one with Jim gray or somebody else about his retirement and this is this is not how it was supposed to go. And I think like you said earlier, Adam Schefter probably fell like this is out there, everybody else is gonna have it within the next 24 hours. I'm gonna run with it. But the campaign for Tom Brady's retirement was not ready to go yet. And Adam Schefter jumped the gun here and got out in front of it. And now they have to walk it back so that they can reset up the launch of the Brady or retirement tour. For what it's worth, Rick Stroud, who is reporter extraordinaire out of Tampa. And has is obviously extremely plugged in there. He broke two Antonio Brown stories recently. So he's been all over everything there. Extremely plugged in, backs up silver's report that Brady has indeed called the GM to say no official decision has been made yet. Again, I don't believe this changes anything in terms of where this is going outside of the fact that we do believe there is a plan for how this information is coming out there. And it didn't get out the way Tom wanted it..

"When that happens. And again, I'll say it again. For me, personally, I can't believe I really the experiment at this point. It was like a big F you to the rest of the universe. I can do this for it's like Captain America. I can do this all day, you know? Like, he could do this forever. And I am always bummed. I never, you know, I'd say Larry Bird was one that made me sad the moment he retired because it was Larry and I was young and so be it. But he was broken down. He needed to go and it was understandable. It's very rare when people retire at the very tip top of their game. Most recently, David Ortiz did coming off a very, very, very successful season. So when stuff is left on the table, it bums you out. And with Brady, I really do think I can't see that cliff coming. I could not see it anymore. And I thought I did. I thought that 2018 season, he was our he'd already gone partly over the cliff. The last Super Bowl they won with against the rams. I didn't. I thought that was the end. And no, it wasn't. It isn't. I mean, it's still and it wouldn't shock me if he came back in a year and was still the same guy. I don't think he will, but it wouldn't shock me if he did that he'd be the same level of player. Yeah, it's just, it's a remarkable career. There's nothing else to say about it. And look, we could find out and I know a lot of reports are coming out right now. Mike silver, Jason Lake. And said that he's not retired or he's not, he hasn't made up his mind yet or hasn't made a decision, but I don't know. It does feel like this is a not necessarily a fitting end. I wouldn't say, but a part kind of a fork in the road for Tom Brady. He parachuted the Tampa Bay. Two years ago and it made all the sense in the world. They had a team that was ready made that was essentially a quarterback away in a lot of ways from being irrelevant team and being a competitive team for a Super Bowl Evans Godwin, obviously bring Gronk out of retirement with him. And then you look at the defense and Sue and Barrett and Antoine Winfield in the secondary and David and Devin white at the linebacker. They had talent all over the place on that roster. Now you look at to have a bay and I think Tom Brady knows is better as anybody that there's championship windows for teams and very few architects besides maybe his old coach and Bill Belichick have been able to create extended windows in the NFL and have been able to keep open championship windows because coaches get picked up, right? Coaches get move on to higher positions, players move on to bigger paydays. This is what happens. Roster turnover, coaching turnover brain drain. Those things are all reality is that the NFL and I think Tampa Bay is going to go through a transition here in Tom Brady is reading the writing on the wall. So I do want to recap again. We are we did not report this..

"I think two one win and a two win season in between their last Super Bowl appearance and finally a little bit of return to relevance in the mid 90s with parcels when crash hooked over and then when Drew Bledsoe was drafted, which was great. Tom Brady and the Patriots changed everything. They changed everything and you know it by now. And I can not describe the feeling people had who had suffered for that window of time when the Patriots won that Super Bowl in 2001. You poor people. Suffered. Well, how long what's your longest drought without a title? Is it now? Probably now. Yeah. And I think I'm sorry that you had to suffer, John, before Tom Brady came around. But I think for us, it made us stronger. You know what? Appreciate it. Yes. For speaking for the under 30 crowd, which I can only say for another year or two, so I might as well keep on pumping that under 30 crowd this is what got me into this. Tom Brady is what made me a football fan. And I probably would have been a football fan anyways 'cause I love it and it is what it is. But the 2001 patriots hook line and sinker is what got me to be a football fan. And as it progressed, I wouldn't have been a football reporter if it wasn't for Tom Brady 'cause I wouldn't have been so into football in the first place if it wasn't for this run by the Patriots and I will never forget the 2001 season. I will never forget learning about football and understanding football. And I think at the time, you know, these last two years have been really a wake-up call for all of us, people that are under the age of 30, because at the time it felt like that was just, they were going to have Tom Brady forever and this was going to be great, right? And the fun would never stop and it just, for me, personally, for so many of patriots fans, I've been talking to Alex about this too. Tom Brady made us football fans. He made us are the people that we are in terms of our careers and doing this for a living. And I gotta you can't say enough things about Tom Brady and just what he's meant to all of us..

"Peyton Manning can tell you, it can go away quickly. You can just snap your fingers and you don't have it anymore. So I think that that's a big part of it too. And yeah, I see a lot of people in the chat talking about some of the reports walking this back. Tom Brady, Adam schaefer and Jeff Darlington are not throwing out there that Tom Brady's retiring without a 100% certainty that Tom Brady is retiring. What's happening right now is that Tom Brady is peeved that he didn't get to control the narrative. 100%. He wanted to make the announcement on his own. He didn't want to get caught up in Adam Schefter and all these types of things that being leaked. So he's walking it back now so that tomorrow or later tonight, they can release a statement via TB 12 somewhere saying that he's retiring from the right from the horse's mouth. And a lot of ways, look, I'm a reporter. If I had to scoop that Tom Brady, was officially sure not to. I would have ran with it too. So I get Adam Schefter and Jeff Darlington's perspective on it. They're doing their jobs. But in a lot of ways, I do feel like when it's a player of Tom Brady's caliber, he's maybe be differential. Yeah. He's kind of earned the right to announce the retirement on his own. And if you're Adam Schefter, do you really need the scoop like do you really need to break this news? I think you've broken enough news in your professional career. Again, I'm to defend it. I bet you he bought it. I bet he thought if I don't do it someone else will have it in ten seconds. So yeah, I would do it out there. I would not have hesitated if I had you on good faith that he was retiring. I would have said, said it as well. So I'm not, you know, I get it. Trust me, I get it. But in terms of these reports, Donny coming out and saying that the reports basically jumped the gun..

"Two seasons of Tom Brady at the end of his career where they definitely weren't going to have the offensive firepower in the roster around him to compete for a Super Bowl or most likely would not have four turning the page, resetting, getting Mac Jones in the draft and moving forward as an organization. So and a lot of ways this is not completely like the colts with Peyton Manning transitioning to Andrew Luck, but I do think that it has that sort of feel to it to a degree, right, where the Patriots in the Brady both kind of got what they wanted out of this. Now, in terms of what you said about essentially him hanging it up at the top of his game, I find it really fascinating as well. I thought that he was going to keep going, but I think looking at it from everybody's going to come at this in my opinion from all he wants to spend time with gisele in the family and he doesn't want to put the time into football anymore. I actually thought that it was more about what is happening in Tampa Bay right now than anything to do with his family or his feelings on it or all that type of thing. And my read on the situation is that he looks at the Buccaneers right now and says, okay, well, Byron left which is probably going to be the head coach of the Jaguars next year. So I'm out of OC. I'm going to have to fill The O.C. position. We don't really know who that's going to be. Secondly to that, Chris Godwin is a free agent and is returning on a torn ACL. And then you also have to think about Rob Gronkowski's future. You have to think about all these things that go into can Tampa Bay put together a team to make him competitive next year. And even beyond that. So I think that this was also him reading the writing on the wall in Tampa Bay as well that there was going to be a lot of brain drain a lot of departures, a lot of guys moving on for bigger paydays in the instance like Godwin. And I don't know if they, if he felt like they were heading in a good direction organizationally because in my mind, a lot of people's mind, he won in spite of Bruce Arians last year, right, Bruce Arians was really he carried it wasn't until they started doing things that Tom Brady way instead of the Bruce Arians, whether things really turned around for them last year, you know?.

"To be completely honest. It's stunk, seeing him play in Tampa Bay over the last two years. It was terrible. And now you get to get your guy back and celebrate his career and he'll go into the pat's Hall of Fame. He'll get his statue, all those types of things. I think are instantly going to happen. Even as soon as next season or this spring or summer, I expect Tom Brady to be in the Patriots Hall of Fame. I think they're going to bypass all of that voting process, team committee stuff. I mean, there's no there's nothing to talk about here. There's nothing to deliberate and putting it up to a fan vote is a waste of time too. So obviously I think that he's gonna be back here quickly and I know a lot of people are asking about one year contracts or one day contracts and things like that. I don't know. I think that that's something that may be existed a little bit more 20, 30 years ago than it does now, but it doesn't a lot of other sports. You still see it quite a bit. You know, there's other places where you do see it. I remember David backus recently doing it with the blues, you know, former Boston Bruin. There's other places where that does happen. Yeah. But I don't think it's necessary. I don't think it's totally necessary either is what I was getting at, right? We all know who he is. We all know what he means to the Patriots and what he means to the organization and all those sorts of things. So my expectation just listening to Robert Kraft talk listening to people talk about this in the eminency of it is that Tom Brady will be back in Foxborough as soon as maybe even this summer when training camp opens to have his moment in the sun with the patrons. They might even do it before the season starts just so that it doesn't kind of get in the way of everything going on with Mac Jones and the Patriots current roster and current team. I think there's a couple ways to look at it. I kind of tweeted the same thing Evan. My initial reaction was, okay, we did the whole and again, this is patriots hat time. Because this is how you're looking at it. You're looking at someone who, I mean, how many people can attribute their personal care their careers to Tom Brady? You know, who are working in this business right now. You know, this is a big deal for a lot of people. Personally, my disappointment wasn't. We did the whole Tom Brady farewell thing when he left. That was the real gut punch. Him retiring, the thing I'm most disappointed about is I wanted to see how long you could do it for. I thought he was cooked four years ago. I thought the Patriots were wise to think that they should move on. I thought Tampa Bay was going to be not great. I did not see them rising to that level. I did not see him playing the way he played again this year, even when he was losing some weapons at some receivers and I know Aaron Rodgers is the kind of odds on favorite friend VP. I don't fully get it. I think Brady had as good a year or better and many measures. But to me, it was a grand experiment. I wanted to see at this point how long it could go on for..

"All right, welcome in guys, a surprise emergency snowies. Surprise. Surprise to some, maybe not to all. Yeah, but I mean, I guess officially sort of official, word leaks out today, Tom Brady is in fact retiring. He's been dropping breadcrumbs along the way. There was a report last night from Jason lock on fora, that an announcement was imminent, ESPN reporting today that it is happening. It's not just happening. It's done. Tom Brady is hanging him up after 22 seasons. 20 of which he spent obviously here in New England. Tom Brady's last battle that he's waging is against local coverage versus once in a 40 something year snowstorm and I think he's winning it right now because Tom Brady is top of mind for a lot of people right now. So we're going to jump on here. We're going to talk whoever wants to join us. Great. Share Tom Brady thoughts, X, Y and Z, but I guess we'll just start with, I guess in the last few days it wasn't surprising, but if you rewind the clock to even a month ago or so Evan, I thought that this was unthinkable. I thought, you know, maybe there's something going on that he wants to see some changes. It was maybe a little bit of a power play. I didn't just think with no fanfare and going out with a disappointing loss in the divisional round of the playoffs that he'd just say, I'm good. Yeah, yeah, that definitely is a surprising way to go about it now. Maybe he feels like he's either gonna win MVP or finish second in the MVP voting. So how much better of a year? Could he really? Then what he had at this past season, although he didn't win a Super Bowl and he won the Super Bowl in his first year in Tampa Bay. He's not going to play much better than he did this past season in a way to go out truly on top. And I think that that's something that he's talked about a lot is that he wants to go back on top and go out on top and he doesn't want to go out limping like Peyton Manning did or like some of the other great quarterbacks did that Drew Brees at the end of their career is where they were shells of themselves. So Brady still elite and he gets to ride off into the sunset as everybody remembering him is nothing but good, right? Nothing but the greatest quarterback of all time..

"The Patriots move on to the Super Bowl. And they're playing Carolina in Houston, a brand new stadium. The Panthers are a really physical football team. Tom Brady is getting hit a ton. And I think part of why Tom Brady has been so successful in his career. Is he always tells himself he's an underdog, he talks about how Peyton Manning was his prolific quarterback at an amazing offense and, you know, the Panthers are amazing and Brady, you hear him talk and relive these moments. And all he does is talk about how great everybody else they played against was. And in one sense, you could say, well, you know, Tom Brady is just really humble and Tom Brady is trying to not take a bunch of credit. I think that might be part of it. But I also think that this is Tom Brady's way of talking himself into being an underdog. And there is great power in feeling like you're not the favorite to win a football game because I think Brady always felt the weight of having a small margin for error. We're like, look, I gotta get every little tiny detail right or we're gonna lose this game. And there's no way that wasn't an incredibly valuable thing and has been for Tom Brady's entire career. And so the Patriots win the Super Bowl, at a military hits the game when he kick after the Panthers kick the ball out of balance with a minute left, which is ridiculous on a kick-off. It feels 53 hours wide. You can't get it to land on the field, but they didn't so the Patriots get the ball in the 40 yard line. They drive down the kick the game and you feel gold, they win the game. 32 to 29. And Tom Brady started crying talking about this saying that was patriots football at its best was the way they all rally. You got out of military kicking and you gave a shout out to Adam and a terror and you got rid of Harrison and you got this really physical really talented team with really good levels of detail and execution. And then we get the beautiful moment of Rodney Harrison crying talking about his mom. And you hear Tom Brady and we heard this in episode one when drew blood so said, it would have been really hard to be Tom Brady's backup of Tom Brady was a a hole. But he was. And Rodney Harrison also credits Tom Brady. He says, Tom cares about his teammates. And Brady says like you succeed by genuinely caring about each other caring about each other's families. And this is why Tom Brady is so amazing to me. I'm a massive introvert..

And how Tom Brady, Lauren boy helped Tom Brady handle all of the weight that comes along with becoming a star. And frankly, Tom Brady says, Lauren Willy helped keep me on track and help me become a true professional third and fourth years in the NFL. And controversy struck when lawyer malloy, a leader of the team, a captain of the team, a guy who brought a ton of toughness to the Patriots locker room who in 2001 end of the year, they win the Super Bowl. 2002, they take a step back where the Patriots went 9 and 7 they missed the playoffs. I believe it's actually like the worst record Tom Brady's had. Someone don't quote me on that, but I think it's the worst record Tom Brady's ever had. During an ethical season, was in his second year as a starter in New England. They missed the playoffs, obviously did not win a Super Bowl. And after that year, the San Diego at the time, the San Diego Chargers cut, their safety, Rodney Harrison. And Rodney Harrison was a Pro Bowl safety a star, getting a little bit up there in age. And the Chargers cut him. And Bill Belichick in all of this infinite wisdom, even though he already had a safety on his team lawyer moy. He signed roddy Harrison and a lot of people are like, interesting, but we already have a safety. We have Laura malloy. And ultimately, what happened was Bill Belichick cut lawyer malloy. A leader in the locker room in New England, a guy who helped him with a Super Bowl two years ago. A guy that Tom Brady was closest. And Tom Brady talked about this is like the first he really had to handle the business side of the NFL losing someone he liked and let's be clear about something. This is something Tom. I think would be put to the test a lot on is losing Randy Moss, having Randy Moss get shredded by losing westwell, or losing all of his buddies over time. Tom Brady was the mainstay in New England. A lot of people came and went to lawyer molloy, the way Brady describes it. This was the first guy he lost, and he was like, Bill, I don't get it. And the media didn't understand the team didn't really understand Bill Belichick was getting clowned on. For getting rid of lawyer malloy. And it's cool to hear Rodney Harrison talk about his communication with Belichick before going to the Patriots. Belichick remembered that one time during warmups, Rodney Harrison knocked someone's helmet off in San Diego. Rodney brought the juice..

"Because a lot of college game is being implemented into the pros. So that's why these guys feel a lot of pressure to play these guys early. There were financial ramifications as well. It's so valuable to have a quarterback on a rookie contract. You want to take advantage of that whenever you can. There are a lot of forces at play here. But at the end of the day. Louis riddick and you. And i were sitting next to each other at the draft and we talked about it then. You don't draft a quarterback in the first round for the first fifteen minutes you draft him for the next fifteen years and whatever is it the best interest of maximizing that is what they should be doing no doubt about that and i'll say this look at the urban meyer. We talked to him before we did there monday night. Preseason game down in new orleans against the new orleans saints said something that really has resonated with me in this stuck with me. Because i've seen this happen. He said look all the positions and football all the positions in football. You can have you know a lot of pitfalls early on in your career and then wind up recovering those players. You know as a coach and the players can recover themselves from having had some adversity early on and then go on to have great careers the one position. He says he's very scared of of that. Being the opposite is quarterback if you lose them early and they lose their confidence early he believes that it's almost impossible to recover on the back side of that and rehabilitate them and he doesn't want that to happen to trevor lawrence.
