| 0:00.0 | You're listening to Draft Kings Network. Hey there, boys and girls, welcome to another edition of the Business of Sports with Andrew Brand. |
| 0:36.6 | I'm your host, Andrew Brand. The weekly whip around around the business of sports. We're produced, as always, |
| 0:42.1 | by Jack Connell, musical producer that music you hear under us, my son, Sam Brandt. And of course, |
| 0:47.5 | we are presented as we are every week by Draft Kings. Hope you had a great week. I'm going to |
| 0:53.1 | touch on some things. First rant I want to talk about |
| 0:56.7 | is this Anthony Richardson's thing going on in the NFL right now. The quarterback for the Indianapolis |
| 1:02.0 | Colts, number four pick in the overall draft last year. Number one was Bryce Young. Number two |
| 1:08.1 | was C.J. Stroud, number four. So three quarterbacks and the top four picks. |
| 1:12.7 | And Richardson's got an issue right now. He's been benched in favor of the ageless Joe Flacco. |
| 1:19.2 | Joe Flacco, of course, in my business of football Hall of Fame. Check that on on Sports Illustrated. |

| 1:38.7 | Number one, this is the problem with quote unquote project quarterbacks because the only way they become less of a project or less raw the word is used a lot is to play them. |
| 1:50.8 | But they're not playing them. |
| 1:52.7 | So what is the end game here for the Indianapolis Colts? |
| 1:59.1 | They're not going anywhere with Joe Flacco beyond this year, of course. |
| 2:02.6 | But therein lies the rub. They're not worried about next year. They're not worried really about Richardson's development as if as the middle of the season right now. |
| 2:12.6 | They're worried about Joe Flacco being the better opportunity to win the game, the game in front of them, the game this week, the game in a few days. |
| 2:20.3 | So this is kind of the push pull of NFL front offices of all of sports and all of business. |
| 2:28.3 | It's to hold on to some relic of the past to give you a sense of comfort and ability to be successful now |
