You know yesterday we talked a lot about the impact of Dak Prescott as his contract situation was finally resolved and I got to be honest with you as I said yesterday on the program we spent so much time discussing what the cowboys were going to do with Dak Prescott that I don't know we spent enough time yesterday although I said it many times.

Pointing out the Dak ultimately one right this was not in any way a close decision if you're looking at risk and reward and I always say what really will determine your ability to succeed in anything is how well you can analyze risk and reward and to the extent that you maximize reward by minimizing risk the better you're going to be in life period.

And to me if I look at that contract and that that deal done between the Dallas Cowboys and Dak Prescott Dak Prescott has maximized his reward has virtually zero risk to me the cowboys have limited reward and still a substantial amount of risk and let me explain what I mean by that first of all.

Dak may not come back and be a hundred percent healthy I hope he is they certainly are putting out all the word that things are looking good for him but we're not really sure how all of that is going to shake down before it is complete it's not as if he's a hundred percent healthy right now signing this contract secondly.

The Cowboys blew it if you look at what was on the table last year and now what is on the table this year they paid tens of millions of dollars more this year with an injured Dak Prescott then they would have played last year without an injured Dak Prescott now.

It's worth pointing out and I do think this is a big picture discussion that the amount of money that NFL teams are scheduled to make on their television deal over the next 10 years may well make many of these contracts for quarterbacks look insanely affordable in the years ahead because if the NFL salary cap is going to go which I believe it will to 250 million dollars or more.

Basically we got a 50 50 split on revenue between players and owners then ultimately quarterbacks are going to be the massive beneficiary here because even Dak if he serves out the entirety of the deal that he just signed with the Dallas Cowboys he's going to be 31 years old and a free agent again having already banked nearly 200 million dollars in his career with the direction that quarterbacks salaries are going.

We are going to have and this I don't think this is an exaggeration at all we are going to have quarterbacks in the NFL who become billionaires billionaires off of playing football and some of you out there like oh it's no way that's going to no that's going to happen because if you look at how many years these guys are going to be able to play I think in the foreseeable future in a decade it would not stun me if in a decade.

We have got quarterbacks making almost a hundred million dollars a year.

Some of you out there like whoa I mean right now we got my homes making 45 million dollars a year I think if you look at the stair step upon which we are headed and you look at how the salary cap is rising and you look at the overall impact of quarterbacks and how long they can play it wouldn't stun me at all if Patrick my homes finishes his career as a football player having made a billion dollars.

Not a million that's a billion and I think that's going to stun a lot of people because Michael Jordan is a billionaire reportedly but he's had to do it as an owner not as a player it's relatively rare that you can get billion dollar caliber wealth by being an employee right.

If you are out there and you're a kid and you're listening to me right now and you're like Clay Travis I want to grow up and be super rich.

What you should be studying is business because most people who end up being billionaires don't ever do it by being employees I think the NFL it's possible that guys like Patrick my homes are going to be so well compensated that can happen there.

But most people if you want to be insanely wealthy you have to start your own company that's how you become a billionaire that's how you buy a franchise most people don't become wealthy enough to be billionaires just by being employees.

Because the finances on businesses like those typically don't work in that manner or that magnitude now maybe that's going to start to change somewhat in the years ahead for certain stud quarterbacks in the NFL but when I was a kid I was like hey I want to make a lot of money one day and a lot of people think oh the pathway to do that is I'm going to be a pro athlete right everybody out there who's listening to me right now I would bet.

Almost 100% of you thought at some point in time I'm going to be a pro athlete that's what I want to be when I grow up every kid has that dream because playing sports is fun and everybody would like to be.

The guy who is a stud at any particular sport right doesn't matter what it is most of you by the time you were 13 or 14 years old.

If you had any semblance of rational ability to analyze your own talents could look around at your team and be like man I'm not even the best guy on my high school freshman junior varsity team what are the odds that I'm going to play major league baseball or that I'm going to be an NBA athlete or that I'm going to be an NFL star.

Doesn't mean you can't work hard doesn't mean there's not a lot to be gained by being a member of an athletics team but just most people by 13 14 15 years old in the early days of puberty for boys start to have some semblance of knowledge about what the ceiling for your overall ability is going to be.

And so for most of you out there listening to me right now the pathway to being involved in sports is not going to be you being a pro athlete and it is credit I've heard Steven a Smith say this a lot and I would echo it there are a lot of you out there who could be the next clay Travis or the next Steven a Smith.

There's not very many of you out there who could be the next time Brady or the next little bronze James their skill set and their talent is incredibly rare.
