0:00.0	Good morning everyone. Welcome to first things first. I'm Jenna Wolf. Nick Wright all smiles this morning. Kevin is here. We got Brian Westbrook with us this morning. We'll get to you in a second, Nick. But coming off on a Tuesday morning among our big story, don't expect a humbled Cam Newton this season because he is not.
0:22.2	Hey, who do you think is more important for the Lakers to win a title this season?
0:25.4	LeBron or AD, we will discuss and should the Yankees be favorites to win the World Series this year?
0:32.3	Because they are co-favorants.
0:34.2	We'll talk about that, but we begin on this Tuesday morning with 500 million reasons
0:40.1	why it is good to be Patrick Mahomes today. The chief sign they're all everything quarterback
0:45.2	to the richest contract in sports history. 10 years worth up to half a billion dollars.

2:10.8	in the league on their team, not only have a Super Bowl under their belt, but to have that
2:15.2	player sign an unprecedented contract.
2:18.7	And listen, it's not like Mooms did charity for the organization.
