I promised to myself, I promised to God that I will be in contact with these people. I will be in touch with them. If I executed my plan for my brothers, they will be the next.

I was kicked out. The recruiters, the HR in Myanmar deleted all the conversations, the group chats of every applicants because they know they will be in trouble.
Scam Factory
The Butcher’s Block | 3
Because the authorities in the airport, they will go through all the chats, messages, emails of that person, of the passenger. They cleared everything.

Charlie pressed Yuki to try and figure out what the immigration flag was. She was talkative. She was telling me everything, like how they got offloaded and stuff, how they met their recruiter. I felt like I can trust this person.
Scam Factory
The Butcher’s Block | 3
And then the person that they're talking to, he was working there inside the yard. And then he was telling them that it's a nice place. It's a good place. You can earn money, blah, blah, blah, stuff like that. As Charlie looked at Yuki's lit up face, she felt a little uneasy. I asked them, what is the type of job they told you? And then she said, call center agent. And then my face went blank.
Scam Factory
The Butcher’s Block | 3
And then she said, why is it not call center agent? Charlie froze. I cannot tell them that, hey, don't go. It's not the call center job. I was thinking of my brothers that time. Her brothers, who were inside the compound, who would pay the price if she fucked this up. So, like, okay, just, I'm so sorry for this for now, but I'll make it up to you guys.
Scam Factory
The Butcher’s Block | 3
So I was like, if that's the job they told you, maybe that's the real job.
Scam Factory
The Butcher’s Block | 3
It's her doing. I really felt bad. I know that they will be shocked when they found out that it's a scamming job.
Scam Factory
The Butcher’s Block | 3
But Charlie knew what she told Yuki was not true. Even if I felt guilty, I cannot do anything. I cannot undo that. I lied to them.

Scam Factory
Sacrificial Lambs | 2
I asked him if I can visit my brothers. I told him that I want to go to Bangkok. I'll buy my own ticket and I'll pay for all the expenses. Dev agreed with one condition. If you can give me one person, I can ask the boss if you can come inside again and see your brother. If you can just give me one person. I was like, so you mean I'm going to recruit one person?
Scam Factory
Sacrificial Lambs | 2

Scam Factory
Sacrificial Lambs | 2
So I asked Deb how much will be their salary. And then Deb said that they're not going to be with the same company with your brother. This is going to be a big one, different company. So their salary will be big. So it's $1,000.

Scam Factory
Sacrificial Lambs | 2
Just let Max go. He said that if you don't want to continue working, it's easy. Just pay $4,000, I'll send him back. Easy? $4,000 is like a huge amount.
Scam Factory
Sacrificial Lambs | 2
They will just judge me. They will judge my brother. That's the worst thing.
Scam Factory
Sacrificial Lambs | 2
It's not like a normal scenario. I'll just go to the police and tell the police. No, it's not like that.
Scam Factory
Sacrificial Lambs | 2
I will inform the authorities what's happening, what's the situation, but the thing is, no one can get in there.
Scam Factory

Scam Factory
Sacrificial Lambs | 2
I was the one who would take care of them when we were small, especially to those boys, because they are very stubborn. And when the boys got older, they still turned to Charlie. When things went bad, they would come up to me. Everything that they cannot deal on their own, they would always come up to me. I'm a lesbian, okay? So I deal with everything on my own.
Scam Factory
Sacrificial Lambs | 2

Sacrificial Lambs | 2
While I was talking, he was just listening to me and then he was nodding. He was taking a deep breath from time to time.
Scam Factory
Sacrificial Lambs | 2
I don't want him to go because I was thinking that Max was already there and then I will put Josh. And it was like I took two stones and hit my head at the same time. So I told him that, are you crazy? And then he said, we don't have a choice. Somebody has to be with him.
Scam Factory

Charlie understood. It has to be like a two-way. Like, they will help me, but I have to be honest with them. I will say everything. Even if you'll judge me, I don't care anymore. I will tell you everything. Every single detail that you need to know, just help me get them out. That's it. And she was ready to cooperate.

It was like great Gatsby with some sort of... It was exactly right. It was like roaring 20s, but I remember turning to Andrew in this very dramatic moment being like, it's almost too good to be true. And you know what's so funny is I got up – I'll never forget. I was on my book tour. It was my first book. I was going – my first big book, Maga Doctriner, and we made New York Times bestseller.

THOUGHTCRIME Ep. 66 — Gala-Gate? OnlyFans Apocalypse? Summer Time or Winter Time
I was so determined to get that distinction. And I was traveling the country. This was before I really knew how to economize my time. I went literally from – East to West Coast, like back and forth, like three or four times. I went from Charlotte, North Carolina to Arizona, back to Palm Beach, back to Orange County. One night in Arizona, back to Tallahassee. Really stupid. But anyway, I got up.
The Charlie Kirk Show
THOUGHTCRIME Ep. 66 — Gala-Gate? OnlyFans Apocalypse? Summer Time or Winter Time
It was so interesting. I got up at 4.30 a.m. the next morning to fly back. from Fort Lauderdale Airport on Alaska Airlines all the way to L.A. I remember reading through my Twitter timeline and all of a sudden, like all the kind of fringy smart people. But the first person that I really paid attention to is Cernovich. You'd love this, Jack.
The Charlie Kirk Show
THOUGHTCRIME Ep. 66 — Gala-Gate? OnlyFans Apocalypse? Summer Time or Winter Time
Where Cernovich did like one of those tweets where he was like, this COVID thing could upend all of civilization. And I was like, what? And it was such a kind of provocative. And then Sagar, what's his name? Sagar? What's his name? Yeah, Sagar and Jetty, who I don't know very well, and people like him, and he seems really smart.

He tweeted something where he was like, COVID could be that thing that just hangs in the background and all of a sudden becomes the biggest thing in the entire election. I remember like, no way. And then it grew, and we're still recovering from it. We still have to have the confrontation. Yeah.
The Charlie Kirk Show
THOUGHTCRIME Ep. 66 — Gala-Gate? OnlyFans Apocalypse? Summer Time or Winter Time

All right. I don't know why it's that thought-crimey. She was open about the whole thing. I mean, it's terrible what she did. She was definitely wide open. I know, but I think the chirp was definitely more thought-crimey. We'll get back to that.

I think, I mean, look, I mean, she's a very disgusting and disturbed person. But also, who are the men that want to participate in this thing, though? I mean, they should have to. Here's what I think should happen. I think an intrepid entrepreneur, not entrepreneur, but journalists like James O'Keefe should sign up for it and then should reveal the identities of all the men that are doing this.
The Charlie Kirk Show
THOUGHTCRIME Ep. 66 — Gala-Gate? OnlyFans Apocalypse? Summer Time or Winter Time
I think I think that they should all be exposed.
The Charlie Kirk Show
THOUGHTCRIME Ep. 66 — Gala-Gate? OnlyFans Apocalypse? Summer Time or Winter Time
Like, I think a lot of the men who know, I think from what from some of the journalism that's been done on this is that like they tried to like never show the men from what I can understand.

Oh, we can get worse than this. This is bad, but...
The Charlie Kirk Show
THOUGHTCRIME Ep. 66 — Gala-Gate? OnlyFans Apocalypse? Summer Time or Winter Time
So I – having done two encounters on the Whatever podcast – Based on the morality that most OnlyFan young women hold and most college girls hold, why is there anything wrong here? Based on their standard, why is 100 men in 24 hours any more disgusting than two men in two days?
The Charlie Kirk Show
THOUGHTCRIME Ep. 66 — Gala-Gate? OnlyFans Apocalypse? Summer Time or Winter Time
No, exactly, or just using the restroom because what – at the baseline of modernist sexual philosophy is they look at sex as nothing more than just –
The Charlie Kirk Show
THOUGHTCRIME Ep. 66 — Gala-Gate? OnlyFans Apocalypse? Summer Time or Winter Time
bodily fluids and orgasms and there's nothing sacred nothing special nothing to be protected nothing to be saved and so people are really aghast by this oh my goodness but you have to ask the question then well are you okay with hookup culture and how is that definitionally wrong than this what's because is she filming that i don't even know what she's i don't know if she's filming or i really have no idea i know the details of it
The Charlie Kirk Show
THOUGHTCRIME Ep. 66 — Gala-Gate? OnlyFans Apocalypse? Summer Time or Winter Time
but I don't think that really matters. I think what, maybe even more disgusting if she was doing that, but you must be consistent. If you believe it's okay to hook up with multiple sexual partners over the course of a weekend, then you hold the sexual morality of what is her name? Phillips or something of Lily Phillips. And prove me wrong.
The Charlie Kirk Show
THOUGHTCRIME Ep. 66 — Gala-Gate? OnlyFans Apocalypse? Summer Time or Winter Time
It is when I, and by the way, this is what I find interesting is actually Lily does break the,

the uh the mold of the whatever girl that i isolated in that very viral clip uh which is i don't believe she has a good relationship with her father i don't believe it i'm sorry i don't i think it's a lie i i don't i i refuse to believe that a woman that strives to have sex with 100 men in 24 hours and soon to be a thousand men in 24 hours has a strong male figure in her life and
The Charlie Kirk Show
THOUGHTCRIME Ep. 66 — Gala-Gate? OnlyFans Apocalypse? Summer Time or Winter Time
I was going to say a prediction. I hope I don't. I just hope that Lily walks away from this, finds religion, finds God, redeems herself. I think it's going to take a lot of work because she's heading in a very dark path. But the psychology is incredibly narcissistic, though, and she is so craving of attention. And it is so sexually narcissistic.

So there's a lot there that I said, but it is easy to criticize her of what she deserves all of it. It is easy to shame her of what she deserves every word of it. Don't give the OnlyFans girl that only sleeps with three men in a weekend in a pass because they're morally in the same ballpark. Prove me wrong or agree or disagree.

I can't wait, but I have to answer Jack's question. People are asking, Charlie, why are you on the second row of the AmFest promotion graphic? Can we put it up there? The answer is that some people on that row get upset if they're not on the first row where I don't care where I am. So that's the answer for those of you curious. That's why I'm second row at my own event.

You were dressed properly. I actually – I was, of course, as the host. But I'm going to cut Jack some slack here. I think that, I mean, black tie rigidity is not my thing. As the host, I'm like, it's okay. It's fine. Now, let me ask you guys, should someone be let into our event if they're not even wearing a tie?
The Charlie Kirk Show
THOUGHTCRIME Ep. 66 — Gala-Gate? OnlyFans Apocalypse? Summer Time or Winter Time
As the host of a black tie event where they're paying, should we regulate and be like, no? Where do we draw the line? I'm curious. I want you guys to go around the horn. Understand they're paying thousands of dollars to be there. It's a big fundraiser. At what point do we say, sorry, we can't allow you in?

Local Hour: The McFlurry Machine Metaphor
Well, isn't that the bigger question? Like, Shea at this point, we expect him to be awesome in the playoffs, but the question is more Jalen Williams and Chet and if they're going to play really well consistently as a second and third option.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The McFlurry Machine Metaphor
The big one by Mike Vorkunov on The Athletic, where he started a four-part series about ways to address tanking. Because it's not even saying that there's a... the process Sixers are happening. It's just that earlier in the season, 15, 20 games less, we're seeing teams like the Sixers play like a Delaware 87ers roster.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The McFlurry Machine Metaphor
I think that's the backwards way of looking at that, though, because it's not about Kelly Oubre. It's the fact that if you're a Sixers fan and you get to see Jokic once a year when he comes to Philly or Giannis, and it's when those guys are playing a dog-water Philly team that's playing their G League players. You know what, Giannis, we're going to give you the night off.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The McFlurry Machine Metaphor
Yeah, I mean, got home and it was double overtime against the Timberwolves. Jokic was unconscious. I don't know. Amin, I wonder what you think about this, too. Is the lead for you Jokic or Russell Westbrook, who we've talked about all year? He's tempered his Russ. He's deferred to Jokic in seemingly every big moment to the point where he's almost overpassing.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The McFlurry Machine Metaphor
And then with 17 seconds left, the Wolves turn it over. Russell Westbrook smokes the layup rather than dribbling the ball out to get fouled. Up by one. But he doesn't give up. Russ always has motor. And he fouls to kill Alexander Walker with .1 seconds left after complaining for a call.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Hawk's Lying Uncle
Is that the toughest spot for an NBA team to be in, though? Where you don't want to trade someone that talented because if you trade him somewhere, it's like he could be a 38-5 guy on a random team. But if you keep him and he's entitled to thinking he's in charge of the organization, you might just be a first-round buy every single year for a higher seed. It's tough.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Hawk's Lying Uncle
Ja Morant? Yeah. Straight up, if they started the goal line... That's so disrespectful. Do you think he could throw a football further?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Hawk's Lying Uncle
So you guys, Hawk and Fox, ran the exact same 40 time at the Combine. Wow. How about that? 4.34, guys. That's crazy. Who's winning a race right now? That's real speed.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Hawk's Lying Uncle
The ceiling is the roof. Certainly more accomplished. Maybe Marion Jones. Didn't she do track and basketball at UNC? Oh, yeah, she did. That's a good one.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Hawk's Lying Uncle
Yeah, so the background on this is they cleared house of their assistant coaches this offseason, and the new offense ran fewer ball screens, and John Morant in this system was not happy with his fewest touches, fewest points, fewest shot attempts per game in several years.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Hawk's Lying Uncle
He's also a considerably worse player than he was three years ago, shooting the ball significantly worse, and it creates a really interesting situation. You have a good coach, you have John Morant, who... regardless of how absurd the NBA suspension and over the top was for his off the court stuff a couple of years ago.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Hawk's Lying Uncle
He is still an unstable superstar because he doesn't play and he's not a consistent scorer because he can't shoot the basketball. He hasn't been consistent in the postseason. You guys, is it right in the NBA superstar culture to let that guy in that city change that coach?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Hawk's Lying Uncle
It's implied. It's not explicitly said, but the implication is that he wasn't happy with his role in the new offense. They're trying to figure out the reasons why.

The Big Suey: Domonique's Racist Cat
I have a list for later in the week when Tony's here of the top five players that I think Tony thinks he's better than in basketball. He beat in one-on-one, but he won't say it out loud.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Domonique's Racist Cat
He thinks so. If you ask him.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Domonique's Racist Cat
Oh, no. Zoom in on the foot, though, here.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Domonique's Racist Cat
Yeah, it was Daniel Jeremiah who did comps for him, and he said that Cam Ward is in the phylum. He's obviously not as good of a prospect of the Brett Favre, Caleb Williams, Patrick Mahomes style of player. And just putting those names out there. And then you look at Shador Sanders, and he's like, Andy Dalton.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Domonique's Racist Cat
Andy Dalton, who should have been a first-round pick, is why Shador Sanders is 18th on Daniel Jeremiah's board.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Domonique's Racist Cat
We good? I like him. I like him.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Domonique's Racist Cat
Don't you think the fact that this is a guy who He started at Incarnate Word. His upside is the fact that he hasn't been coached in a major program. Shador Sanders was being coached by elite position coaches since he was a kid. This was part of Deion's plan to have his NFL quarterback.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Domonique's Racist Cat
Cam Ward is sort of backed into this, where his talent and his elastic arm are so exceptional that, yeah, his feet, they're really sloppy. I remember the first time I talked to Dominique about this. He's like, he does not look like an NFL quarterback in the pocket. The upside of that is he hasn't been coached like an NFL quarterback for his entire career. He ran the wing tee in high school.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Domonique's Racist Cat
He had under 1,000 passing guards as a senior in high school. He then set the NCAA passing record.

I did that. That's the football version of that is a sack. If a quarterback like stumbles and falls and two D linemen are close to it, they both start celebrating.

It does on this Google search. I guess that's your drug dealing. That's how the white folks define drug dealing.

Local Hour: I Am The Dream
A huge part of it is exactly what you're talking about. When you are... disincentivizing the games being important, the games become less important. I mean, I mean, this is the organizations right now. This is the problem that the NBA has to face, is that if teams can't sell success, they're selling hope, which is incentivizing for fans to want the worst draft pick, to want tanking.

Well, I do know that to be true, but even during ad reads, like... Cuervo. I think you could lay out, especially for one of our great partners. Sweet, delicious Cuervo. Since then, Cuervo has stayed true to its roots.

I kind of think that people started feeling outwardly that this is gross when the players got to do what the coaches got to do the entire time. And then it kind of held up a different line. And then the coaches were like, hey, that's unfair. That's not cool that they can do that. We're supposed to be the only ones that get away with that.

I would say that racism. I would say it all goes back to racism because once the black teenagers started making millions of dollars and being able to say, hey. No, I want to go to your school. No, I actually want to go to this other school. Why? For more money. Wait, you can't do that. We can do that. You can't do that. You're a black teenager.

And this is a big story for you guys because Kevin Willard, the coach who just led Maryland to one of the strangest Sweet 16 runs imaginable because they had the buzzer beater from Derrick Queen, the Crab 5, they were this fun team. He was out. He was out like a week and a half before that. He was also a travel hater.

Your coach was publicly flirting with Villanova, has now taken the job to be the Villanova. So he's not my coach. No longer your coach. Your former coach had taken the job at Villanova. Just because Maryland is a Big Ten school, Villanova's in the Big East, Villanova is not going to spend NAL money on football.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Domonique Ruins The Interview (feat. Steve Williams)
There will be a higher percentage of their revenue share that goes to the basketball program, which sets up a really interesting thing of what's going to happen with these ACC schools overall. Are they going to choose football or basketball? Are they going to be trying to get poached by the SEC or other conferences or the Big Ten?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Domonique Ruins The Interview (feat. Steve Williams)
And Maryland's in a funny spot with this because this is a basketball school that is trying to now masquerade as a football school.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Domonique Ruins The Interview (feat. Steve Williams)
maryland was short changing him i think that if anyone had an argument that it was getting short changed to be the football team right i think you're on it dominique i don't understand this and plus there's more rev to share inside the big 10 they got that big time football money coming into there so it's very curious i'm sure he was made a ton of promises and villanova's won national championships more recently certainly than maryland and
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Domonique Ruins The Interview (feat. Steve Williams)
That's what they have going on for them. That school is synonymous with its men's basketball program. So I understand why he might get more commitments from that. There's also a little bit of an element to, like, let me reset that clock. In this whole new age of college basketball, I'd rather be starting fresh at Villanova and have that job security now that I just raised expectations here.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Domonique Ruins The Interview (feat. Steve Williams)
But coaches like to do this thing where they complain about the resources that And the resources are so ambiguous because they're kind of like closely guarded state secrets that you can just kind of conveniently use this as an excuse. No one really checks you on that like Jim Laranega.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Domonique Ruins The Interview (feat. Steve Williams)
I did some of it on Friday, but we just let – Yeah, we did this on Friday, but we let Jim Laranega and Leonard Hamilton join us in our content making, and we just, like, yeah, no, NIL Portal, we're here with you. That must be difficult for someone of your age. And then no one realizes, like, he didn't lose anybody until they started sucking. Yeah.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Domonique Ruins The Interview (feat. Steve Williams)
We had the most talented team ever after we went to the Final Four. We lost two guys to the NBA that weren't first-round picks, and we replaced them with Matt Cleveland, a guy from FSU that Coach Laranega really wanted, and a first-round draft pick that's one of the better rookies in the NBA right now, Keyshawn George. That was the most talented Miami team ever, and they fell on their face.

And then the following year, we got him a top three recruit in the nation, and he quit midway through the year.

I'm sorry. Well, this is why my Uber rating is low. And, yeah, this right here. But we gave him a top three recruit. Tony Bennett did the same thing. It was like, oh, well, you're just quitting. You're quitting. That's not accountability. Because the game's changing and you're just like, it's a mess. What you're saying is, no, I can't acclimate. I have a limited skill set.

Look at me, Louie. There's plenty of black people named Louie, though. Look at me. And the voice that you use makes it feel a little bit more racist. Did you grab? You graveled it. That's a white guy, too.

Hold on. He put some blues in it. That was country. That was a Nashville white dude, man, which is okay. I'm just saying, if you're going to go Leroy to say this is for black people, you probably got to also diversify your VOs. Get a new voiceover guy. If it was a black person saying it.

The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Dan Le Batard Show Sans Dan Le Batard
We should go through everyone's football because everyone gets a football nickname when you play early on. Like my son is named Cali because he moved from California. And for three years now, he's just known as Cali. Never mind that he lived there for like eight months. It don't matter. You know, he's from Ohio for sure, but he's known as Cali to everyone here.

Number one, we're old as hell, right? I think this is the overarching lesson here. is that we're all old, and you guys as well, not just me and Neek being fossil football players, because when they introduced it, it seemed so ridiculous. But here's the tactic that the league always uses and it always works. I remember in, I think it was 2012,
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Dan Le Batard Show Sans Dan Le Batard
they were like, hey, we're gonna mandate that you wear knee pads. And it was a uproar. And that sounds crazy. Everyone was like, what? We gotta wear knee pads? I'm gonna be so slow. And we tried to revolt against having to put, and it's like little fake pads that you can't even see, but just the fact that we had to put them on, because we didn't have to wear knee pads. It was just thigh pads.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Dan Le Batard Show Sans Dan Le Batard
And I don't think thigh pads were a thing. There was no thigh pads, no knee pads.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Dan Le Batard Show Sans Dan Le Batard
So I just wore shoulder pads on a game day. That's it. Just shoulder pads and a helmet. I would wear a helmet. That was a smart thing to do. But I remember there being an uproar with all the players that they had to put these pads into their pants. And then over time, as the league got younger and guys came in and it was just the norm, no one ended up caring about it by the time that I retired.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Dan Le Batard Show Sans Dan Le Batard
And so that's the genius of the league. Introduce 18 games at a point where everybody says how ridiculous it is, but now for the guys that are coming into the league, the young guys, they've been hearing it so long, they know it's coming, and it's not as big of a deal to them.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Dan Le Batard Show Sans Dan Le Batard
Yeah, also have all the letters.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Dan Le Batard Show Sans Dan Le Batard
When did they have 14? Because I'm not going to lie, you just dropped that bomb on me live on air. I guess I assume that at some point, yes, there were less games, but I never thought that there were, like, living people.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Dan Le Batard Show Sans Dan Le Batard
Just like that, I'm in. I didn't think about that either. You guys are... You should work for the committee. Damn.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Dan Le Batard Show Sans Dan Le Batard
We could have just kept it centered at the organizations I played for or, like, generalized it, but I'm glad you specifically pointed out Hawk.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Dan Le Batard Show Sans Dan Le Batard
There's been so many games I've watched you, and I'm like, what has my life become?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Dan Le Batard Show Sans Dan Le Batard
Yeah, week ones were hard.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Dan Le Batard Show Sans Dan Le Batard
It was like that same intro Nick just did. It was me every week one. With the Bengals, I played some meaningful games. Yeah, you made it to playoffs. With the Browns in my years, it was rough. It was a tough go.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Dan Le Batard Show Sans Dan Le Batard
Yeah, man, it's still hot outside. It's like, damn. Who's first overall pick they're saying next year? Who am I going to meet? You're looking at box in September.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Dan Le Batard Show Sans Dan Le Batard
I hope there's no hot receivers. Yeah. There's not any really diminutive receivers that are super fast coming out, is there?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Dan Le Batard Show Sans Dan Le Batard
I think we figured it out. As you guys are talking, I think I've cracked the code. Because I remember, and it's a bad take. I forget what it was, but Mark Cuban saying, pigs get fat, hogs get slaughtered, in 10 years the NFL is going to. And that is not the case.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Dan Le Batard Show Sans Dan Le Batard
And even though we get late in the season annoyed by bad football or whatever the situations are, the ratings are as big as they ever have. And it's because it's not greed if you're addicted. Right. You know what I mean? There's not too much crack.

The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Dan Le Batard Show Sans Dan Le Batard
And that's the truth. That is how it goes. And that's the problem even with the – because there's league minimums. Like if you've been in the league so long, it's like if you're an eight-year. And it's the same issue. It's okay. Do I pay this eight-year veteran to be a fourth, fifth receiver?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The Dan Le Batard Show Sans Dan Le Batard
Or do I just get a young guy who is half the price and maybe not as good, maybe not as seasoned, maybe can't step in as a pinch as a starter? but he can run down on kickoff, and I'll take whatever the delta is on those two things. That's a lot of the issue, and it's such a system where even the owners, the quarterback is the face of the league because when you get into negotiations...
