Summary

Today’s word of the day is ‘pancake’ as in the Pancake Factory as in the University of Texas offensive line will now receive $50K each for NIL and charitable causes. How about coach buyout money? We’re close to $100M in buyouts schools are paying for coaches to no longer coach at its school. College football is now the wild Wild West. It always has been, but now we see it. Remember last year when schools were getting rid of smaller programs because of lost money due to covid? yea… (15:45) The Portland Trail Blazers are in trouble. The team just fired its GM for misconduct. The President left the team last month to take another job in Detroit. Damian Lillard hasn’t been great. The team is losing games in Chauncey Billups first season. There was a trade offer that would send CJ McCollum away. Anything else? (21:20) President Biden announced the US boycott of the Beijing Olympics. What does that mean for athletes? Nothing. Is this a major show by the US? No. (30:50) Review: The Last Duel. (35:10) So You Wanna Talk To Samson!? Someone asked me about Justin Verlander and lockout limbo. A deal was reached for 2 years, $50M for Verlander to return to the Houston Astros, but yet, he’s still a free agent. Interesting. (43:50) Median Spirit dies suddenly.
