Hey there, boys and girls. Welcome to another edition of the Business of Sports with Andrew Brand.

I'm your host, Andrew Brand. That music you hear is from my offspring, the one and only Sam

Brandt, musical producer. Check him out on Boy Blue Tunes on Spotify. This show is produced, as always,

by the extraordinary Brian Neal. We're going to do some rants this week, and, you know, it's going to be some personal stuff about a contract I saw in the NFL this week by someone that brought a lot of memories back for me.

I'll also talk about the Deshaun Watson situation.

I'm getting so many questions on email and text and through the website even.

I mean, through the podcast even, about what's

going to happen to Deshawn Watson. And the turn of events that someone we were talking about

weeks ago, about the trade issue and all of that. And then more questions I've had about

voidable contracts, which everyone seems to be getting into.

passing interest in them. I'm a diehard Philadelphia 76ers fan, have been through since the tanking years with Sam Hanky, who is actually a friend and someone I admire. But broke the team down to Studs and build it back up. And they had these two transcendental stars and Ben Simmons and Joel Embed. And so I was watching them closely on the trade deadline.

They did acquire George Hill from OKC for a couple backup players and second round picks.

I know people wanted a bigger name, whether it was OlaDipo or Powell Lowry or whoever may be.

But here we are. Just some notes on the trade deadline.

This really puts the NFL trade deadline to shame. And I think that's something we've known for a long

time. And I think baseball does that too, to an extent. For whatever reason, the NFL is not that
