All right, Rico back tomorrow. I had a bit of a travel disaster this weekend, so I missed yesterday. Sorry. You went about 25,000 other people. I know, but dude, it's my responsibility to be back. I felt terrible, but thank you for filling in with Rico yesterday. Rico's just the king of the random day off. I don't understand the Tuesday thing. You know what? It's something you need to get into next

time you host with him. Because I bust his balls all the time. He just, I'm like, dude, what is it? Will you take a week off? Get the hell out of here. Right. I got this Thursday and this Wednesday and boop-a-bobo-da-boo. Last week, I understood it because it was a Tuesday coming off a holiday. I got it.

Well, whatever.

Yeah.

That's, that's, that's not my issue.

He'll be back tomorrow.

So here's what we have for you. Odyssey.com Rewind. I offered my official statement on Sam's Uncle. To hell with him. And to hell with the NFL and the hell with the Rams. And it's the apocalypse. We have a ginger in the Super Bowl. but we talked scubel, and it was different because of what Jose Ramirez did.

And now we're talking about the MHSAA saying NIL is a full go for high school athletes.

So we've asked parents, administrators, coaches, how bad of an idea is this?

Question mark.

The scoble thing, if you want to dial in on it, it's a very quick reset.

Jose Ramirez wanted to stay in Cleveland and stayed in Cleveland and signed a contract,

seven at 176, well below market value because he wanted to be there, not lip service, wanted to be there.

And Cleveland, as pathetic of an organization as they are, did something that, by all evidence we have,

the Tigers haven't done, made a real offer.

Correct.

And I asked you whether it kind of changes how you feel about Scoobble, Because it's one thing to say, damn, why can't players be loyal and then you have no evidence of it? Why can't a guy give a hometown discount? And you have no evidence of it. Well, Derek Scoobel is not a Hall of Famer. No. Jose Ramirez is. We see these things in other sports because of for cap ramifications where guys take less to help their teams.

Baseball, there's no cap.

And the fact that Ramirez a great player, arguably Hall of Fame players, you mentioned, a tiger killer.

Man, oh man, it's just nice to see in this world.

Nice to see. He didn't let his agent lead him around by the nose.

Exactly.
