would pay to guarantee the Eagles lose this Super Bowl with Saquan Barclay.

0:06.7

$10 million, I think.

0:08.6

You think he would do?

0:11.9

We cannot underestimate the gut feeling that John Mara has right now,

0:18.6

that the Eagles are on the precipice of winning a Super Bowl,

0:21.9

and Seekwon Barclay might be the Super Bowl MVP at their, his affinity for Seekwon,

0:27.4

with the clip from Hard Knocks of him saying,

0:30.8

I'm not going to be able to sleep at night if Sequin goes over to the Eagles.

0:34.7

With that out there, there's no doubt in my mind, this man who has

0:39.1

just so much money, so much wealth, he would pay multiple millions of dollars to ensure

0:45.6

that the Philadelphia Eagles, a team that he hates, regardless of the fact that they have

0:50.4

Seguan Barclay on the roster, a former New York giant, a tried and true New York giant.

1:14.5

Regardless of that, he hates this team with a passion in the division. I think it would be multiple millions. I would not be surprised if it was 10. $10 million. So I looked it up. I don't think anyone has accurate numbers on this, Nick. So I think this is kind of foolish and for fun. But apparently some people out there have projected that the Mara family has an estimated net worth of $3 billion. The Giants franchise is worth $6.8 billion estimated. That is actually

1:20.5

true. The rest of this, I think, is kind of maybe a guess or some, I don't know.

1:24.9

And according to this, the celebrity net worth of John Mayer specifically is 500 million. So if this is all true, which is probably not, your suggestion is he would pay 150th of his net worth just to see the Eagles and St. Gleman Barkley lose. I'll probably go a little less than that, Nick. I think it means a lot to him for St. Juan Barclay to not win. It's going to mean, you know, he's going to have to listen to all the bullshit for a long, longer if they win. A season after, bro. A season after. Yeah. He's never been cheap. Like the Giants are regularly the team that pays their coordinators and assistants more money than any teams in the NFL are up there with the top five so I think he'd probably pay maybe a million I'll say to

2:05.5

see say come fuck with still a lot of money man so a lot of money to drop I just think for for a guy

2:11.6

like John Mara the legacy is is so important to him and and this is going to like I said the last episode, this is going to be a blight on massively on John Mara, even though it might not be because Joe Shane might get fired after this season, right? He might be gone. And then this is going to be remembered if the Eagles win and he wins MVP at the New York Giants significantly helped the Eagles. I think that's wildly unfair as you and I

2:34.2

have gone over several times. But that doesn't matter. These lazy narratives end up creeping into

2:39.9

the minds of sports fans and people just in general. And then that becomes the truth. And that's

2:45.7

going to be the truth like 10, 15 years down the line. Oh, the Eagle second Super Bowl. They signed Seekuan

2:50.3

Barkley because the Giants were stupid. It didn't resign them. Pop, pop, pop, pop, and now it's going to be John Mara gave the Philadelphia Eagles a Super Bowl. And I think it's worth millions of dollars to him to prevent that from happening. Because if they just are the NFC champions and they lose to the Kansas City Chiefs, it's not going to be remembered the same well, not even close to the same way. So I believe John Mara is saying,

2:51.2

Hulk and millions, lose to the Kansas City Chiefs, it's not going to be remembered the same way, not even close to the same way. So I believe John Mara is saying, I'll get millions of my dollars of my money to prevent Sequin Barclay in the Philadelphia Eagles. I think that's what's going to happen or what would happen. Yeah, I was thinking about doing like a little role play. I'm coming to the room, you're John Mara and how much money would you actually
