Look, let's not wait, 33 00:01:26,719 --> 00:01:29,079 let's jump right into it. But I am shocked, just 34 00:01:29,159 --> 00:01:31,879 by anybody when we talk about Hall of Fame. Bill 35 00:01:31,879 --> 00:01:34,560 Belichick is a name that definitely rings the bell, but 36 00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:37,560 not what I ever think. It wouldn't be a first ballot, 37 00:01:37,599 --> 00:01:40,159 but the Pro Football Hall of Fame gets a legal 38 00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:43,719 win in this controversy. What's the update on Belichick in. 39 00:01:43,719 --> 00:01:48,879 Speaker 4: This Well, so upfront, the story we're going to talk 40 00:01:48,879 --> 00:01:53,719 about does not involve Bill Belichick. It's another Hall of 41 00:01:53,719 --> 00:01:55,920 Fame legal issue, but I do want to start with 42 00:01:56,760 --> 00:02:04,200 you know, Bill Belichick as a loyal Patriot fan. I'm 43 00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:06,000 trying to come up with a way that we can 44 00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:09,400 represent other loyal Patriots fan to sue members of the 45 00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:12,400 Hall of Fame voting for the atrocities that happened this week. 46 00:02:12,439 --> 00:02:14,360 That a couple of things that need to happen. First, 47 00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:16,840 I need to get approval from Garrett, who's a Seahawks fan, 48 00:02:17,599 --> 00:02:24,080 and are you serious? Second, most importantly, most importantly, you 49 00:02:24,159 --> 00:02:26,039 got to come up with some type of legal issue 50 00:02:26,039 --> 00:02:28,080 that we can go after here. But there's not one. 51 00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:30,520 But the legal issue that we do have involving the 52 00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:33,120 Hall of Fame is a trademark issue. And what this 53 00:02:33,319 --> 00:02:37,280 is is the state of a guy named Victor Maitland 54 00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:40,919 sued the NFL and the NFL Hall of Fame claiming 55 00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:45,400 trademark infringement and unfair practices. This claim grows out of 56 00:02:45,439 --> 00:02:50,039 the fact that the claim that Victor Maitland his children 57 00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:55,840 are saying he designed and sketched the original shield patch 58 00:02:56,199 --> 00:03:00,000 that appears on the famous gold Hall of Fame jackets. 59 00:03:00,439 --> 00:03:03,960 He claims that the state is claiming that this is 60 00:03:04,039 --> 00:03:07,360 trademark infringement and that for years and years the NFL 61 00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:10,000 and the NFL Hall of Fame have been profiting from 62 00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:14,719 his design and his trademark. Well, the judge looked at this, 63 00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:19,759 and he did recognize that Victor Maitland had in fact 64 00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:24,000 applied for and gotten a trademark license for this. But 65 00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:27,360 what he didn't do is he didn't assigned sell or 66 00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:30,759 otherwise transfer ownership of the various marks at issue in 67 00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:34,520 this case. Essentially, he didn't do some estate planning that 68 00:03:34,599 --> 00:03:37,639 said that this would continue and be the trademark owned 69 00:03:37,639 --> 00:03:41,199 by his estate. Now, the judge looked at this and said, yeah, 70 00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:43,479 Victor Maitland did a lot of great things, and he 71 00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:45,680 was involved in the NFL, and there's been profits, and 72 00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:48,879 so they did really kind of recognize him. Which but 73 00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:52,159 in the end they dismissed the lawsuit. The Hall of 74 00:03:52,159 --> 00:03:56,319 Fame wins this lawsuit. They dismissed it claiming that one 75 00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:58,879 of the main things they're claiming is that the statute 76 00:03:58,879 --> 00:04:01,400 of limitations has run. That is that the time has 77 00:04:01,479 --> 00:04:04,400 run for them to bring their claim. They also said 78 00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:06,479 that you know, some of these all the people that 79 00:04:06,599 --> 00:04:08,400 named it wouldn't kind of fall into how they should 80 00:04:08,439 --> 00:04:10,240 do it. So it was a it was a win 81 00:04:10,319 --> 00:04:12,759 for the Hall of Fame on this one. I lost 82 00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:16,480 when they you know, denied Bill Belichick his entry. One 83 00:04:16,519 --> 00:04:20,040 final thing, And for guys my age, it's crazy that 84 00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:23,759 Victor Maitland is the same name of the antagonist villain 85 00:04:23,759 --> 00:04:27,279 in the Beverly Hills Cop original Beverly Hills Cop. The 86 00:04:27,319 --> 00:04:29,680 exact same name. It's crazy. 87 00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:32,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm a little bit on the younger side, so 88 00:04:32,639 --> 00:04:34,399 I know Ben is going to roast me for that 89 00:04:34,439 --> 00:04:36,040 and says I'm too much of a young and to 90 00:04:36,399 --> 00:04:36,920 understand that. 91 00:04:37,439 --> 00:04:40,040 Speaker 4: Up, I wrote Beverly Hills Cop. 92 00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:40,720 Speaker 1: I wrote it. 93 00:04:40,759 --> 00:04:43,040 Speaker 2: I wrote it down immediately because I because I need to. 94 00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:46,240 But and I'm not trying to sidetrack anything, but I 95 00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:50,040 apologize to both of you, guys, Patriot and Seahawk. I 96 00:04:50,079 --> 00:04:52,360 did not think that would it would come up, and 97 00:04:52,399 --> 00:04:55,120 that wasn't on my Bengal car Presston for twenty twenty 98 00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:56,279 six between you and Garrett. 99 00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:59,519 Speaker 4: All right, there you go. 100 00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:02,680 Speaker 2: Let's keep on a factor. Speaking of more legal issues, 101 00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:06,920 Dion finds Colorado football players the employee legal issues. I 102 00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:10,720 think I saw something on Instagram where he's he's charging 103 00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:14,000 fees now and fines for players in his Football program. 104 00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:15,120 What's update on this one? 105 00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:19,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, he is. And you know people have probably heard 106 00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:21,399 about this a little bit. But you know, his players 107 00:05:21,399 --> 00:05:24,720 are getting paid and getting money through revenue sharing deals 108 00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:28,399 and nil contracts and all of that. I think Dion saying, hey, 109 00:05:28,399 --> 00:05:30,199 you guys got money, and this is I'm going to 110 00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:31,600 hit you in the pocket book if you're going to 111 00:05:31,639 --> 00:05:35,279 show up late to practice or you know, post crazy 112 00:05:35,319 --> 00:05:36,959 things on social media. I mean, there's all kinds of 113 00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:39,920 things right for why you might get a fine plan 114 00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:42,519 for Dion right now. And but this is this brings 115 00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:45,839 up some legal issues for us, and one of that 116 00:05:45,959 --> 00:05:49,439 one of those is is, well, first of all, how's 117 00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:50,279 it going to enforce this? 118 00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:50,639 Speaker 2: Right? 119 00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:53,319 Speaker 1: I mean, what if a player doesn't actually pay their fines? 120 00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:55,920 I mean, what happens, right? I mean do they get 121 00:05:56,399 --> 00:05:58,399 I mean besides maybe losing some playing time? I mean, 122 00:05:58,439 --> 00:06:01,639 but are there some legal ramifications as far as you know, 123 00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:03,839 maybe losing a scholarship or not being able to play 124 00:06:03,879 --> 00:06:07,399 anymore or you know, something like that. And so there 125 00:06:07,759 --> 00:06:10,439 could be some issues on you know, paying the money, 126 00:06:10,439 --> 00:06:13,879 collecting the money, and and those consequences that could come 127 00:06:13,959 --> 00:06:16,800 up and could ultimately result in some litigation. But the 128 00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:20,600 other issue is just does this just move us one 129 00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:25,439 step closer to players being employees and needing some collective 130 00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:29,360 bargaining so that they can figure out together maybe as 131 00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:32,639 a players association and negotiate these sorts of things with 132 00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:34,319 the school and say, okay, well, if we're going to 133 00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:38,279 be fined across the board and treated like employees, we 134 00:06:38,319 --> 00:06:41,279 want some other protections as employees. So I think it 135 00:06:41,439 --> 00:06:44,839 just it just shows that is the direction we're headed 136 00:06:44,879 --> 00:06:48,079 in and brings up some potential legal issues in the future. 137 00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:52,360 Speaker 2: You bring up a good point about a cbas from 138 00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:54,920 your standpoint, is this something that will be implemented sooner 139 00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:57,720 rather than later. It seems like there's a lot of issues, 140 00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:00,319 you know, with the whole thing with nil and you 141 00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:03,480 know now Dion trying to implement you know, fines for 142 00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:06,000 rules in the program. 143 00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:08,360 Speaker 4: Uh yeah, I guess. 144 00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:10,920 Speaker 1: I mean, we'll go out on the limb a little bit, 145 00:07:10,959 --> 00:07:12,879 but I do think eventually, I mean, as far as 146 00:07:12,879 --> 00:07:14,680 how soon that's going to happen, I don't know. I mean, 147 00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:17,040 we covered we've talked a lot in the past. There 148 00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:20,360 was a case involving the Dartmouth men's basketball team who 149 00:07:20,439 --> 00:07:24,120 attempted to unionize right and do some of that and 150 00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:28,519 be acknowledged as employees, and but we're not there. We're 151 00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:30,839 not quite there yet. But there's been some attempts by 152 00:07:30,839 --> 00:07:33,000 schools to do that, and I think we'll see more 153 00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:33,800 of that in the future. 154 00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:36,920 Speaker 2: Crazy times in college football. Never thought that I would 155 00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:39,720 see a college coach say I'm gonna find you if 156 00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:43,360 you miss your equipment. That's an expensive mouthpiece on thousand dollars. 157 00:07:43,399 --> 00:07:45,480 I want to be a part of that at all. 158 00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:49,040 Let's keep moving on. Update Duke drops a lawsuit and 159 00:07:49,399 --> 00:07:53,160 settles with QB. What's the update on this one. I 160 00:07:53,199 --> 00:07:54,839 know this was something that we had discussed a few 161 00:07:54,839 --> 00:07:55,279 weeks ago. 162 00:07:56,279 --> 00:07:59,720 Speaker 4: Yeah, we did, and so surprising. We're talking about this soon. 163 00:07:59,759 --> 00:08:03,639 But the background for the listeners out there is last 164 00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:08,680 week Duke University, their star quarterback who led the acc 165 00:08:08,839 --> 00:08:11,560 and passing I think on the last day of the 166 00:08:11,639 --> 00:08:15,720 transfer portal window. He said Hey, I'm transferring and Duke said, 167 00:08:15,839 --> 00:08:19,839 hold not so fast, and Duke sued him. They sued 168 00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:22,360 him for breach of contract, saying hey, we have an 169 00:08:22,439 --> 00:08:27,199 nil contract in place, and they sued him, went to 170 00:08:27,199 --> 00:08:31,199 the court and said we want a preliminary injunction preventing 171 00:08:31,319 --> 00:08:35,279 him from jumping into the transfer portal. They said, we 172 00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:39,000 want to enforce his contract and we're not even going 173 00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:41,799 to let him enter the transfer portal. Well, the judge 174 00:08:41,799 --> 00:08:43,879 looked at this and said, hey, let's put this on 175 00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:47,120 pause and see if we can figure this out. Well, 176 00:08:47,919 --> 00:08:50,159 this was a short lived lawsuit because this week we 177 00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:55,720 get when that the lawsuit has settled. Now, the statement 178 00:08:55,960 --> 00:09:00,600 was they reached a settlement agreement with Duke University, calling 179 00:09:01,159 --> 00:09:03,840 a fair and mutually agreeable resolution, thanking Duke for a 180 00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:11,559 good faced discussions. This is representatives of MENSA, the quarterback Mensa. 181 00:09:12,279 --> 00:09:16,559 Duke went on to say, Hey, it's nonetheless a difficult 182 00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:19,679 choice to pursue legal action against a student and teammate 183 00:09:19,759 --> 00:09:21,559 for the reason we sought to resolve the matter fairly 184 00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:24,320 and quickly. So I think that's what it came down 185 00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:27,480 to a couple of things. I think it's interesting. Number one, 186 00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:30,679 the fact that this is being termed as a settlement 187 00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:35,039 is really interesting to me because a settlement usually indicates 188 00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:39,279 that maybe there's been money paid. Rather than saying that 189 00:09:39,399 --> 00:09:43,159 Duke dismissed the lawsuit, I think Duke looked down the 190 00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:45,720 road and thought this is a bad look. We're going 191 00:09:45,799 --> 00:09:48,639 to lose out here, but suing him and trying to 192 00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:52,279 recover here, and really their one remedy was not money 193 00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:54,840 from him because they wanted to pay money. It was 194 00:09:55,279 --> 00:09:57,679 what they wanted a specific performance, saying, hey, we're paying 195 00:09:57,679 --> 00:09:59,600 you to play quarterback. We want you to hold you 196 00:09:59,639 --> 00:10:02,960 to this and play quarterback. Well, it's reported that it's 197 00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:05,320 settled now, I don't know if. And as part of 198 00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:08,240 the settlement, guess who's going to win this? Our guy 199 00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:11,840 Mensa the quarterback because he is transferring to Miami, and 200 00:10:11,919 --> 00:10:14,320 guess who doesn't have a quarterback? Duke does not have 201 00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:18,440 a quarterback now. So this is really an interesting legal issue. 202 00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:21,960 I think on the sidelines silently, a lot of schools 203 00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:24,759 were saying, hey, way to go, Duke, way to go. 204 00:10:25,519 --> 00:10:27,320 Hopefully you can enforce this because if we have a 205 00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:29,360 player doing this, we want to be able to have 206 00:10:29,399 --> 00:10:31,799 the teeth of this. We know that Georgia is suing 207 00:10:32,639 --> 00:10:35,799 their ed rusher who transferred to Missouri, and that hasn't 208 00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:38,879 been resolved yet. But the difference there is he's not 209 00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:41,679 still at Georgia and they're not trying to keep him there, 210 00:10:42,039 --> 00:10:43,960 So we don't know the resolution to that, but I 211 00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:47,840 think this could have set It's been dismissed, but I 212 00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:50,679 think it could have set kind of a standard and 213 00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:55,000 maybe a statement for players that wanted to transfer. But 214 00:10:55,039 --> 00:10:58,039 they still have the teeth of you know, claiming that 215 00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:00,799 this is antitrust and that type of thing. So this 216 00:11:00,919 --> 00:11:06,080 suit has its settled quotes and Mensa is on his 217 00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:08,720 way to Miami, probably for a lot more money. 218 00:11:09,759 --> 00:11:12,200 Speaker 2: Definitely for a lot more money, no doubt about it. 219 00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:14,120 I think if Carson Beck who got paid to leave, 220 00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:17,080 definitely a lot more money. Indeed, I guess I'll just 221 00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:19,480 ask you this person is a quick follow up. Do 222 00:11:19,519 --> 00:11:22,559 you anticipate the cases like this to continue to happen. 223 00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:25,799 I think we discussed a month ago the Washington quarterback. 224 00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:29,279 I feel like quarterbacks leaving last minute or I feel 225 00:11:29,279 --> 00:11:31,000 like these lawsuits are going to keep happening in college 226 00:11:31,039 --> 00:11:32,440 football when quarterbacks want to leave. 227 00:11:33,759 --> 00:11:37,320 Speaker 4: Well, that's a good question. I think that this said 228 00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:41,200 a send a message to a lot of schools, and 229 00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:43,399 I think had gone down the road and Duke ended 230 00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:46,080 up winning. I thought that he was using this maybe 231 00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:48,440 as a ployee to get more money and stick around Duke, 232 00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:50,879 if you'd asked me last week, I predicted that he 233 00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:53,360 was going to stay. We had the Washington one and 234 00:11:53,399 --> 00:11:56,840 what happened with him state state, So these are two 235 00:11:56,879 --> 00:12:01,840 different results. Where Duke actually sued, they actually did pursue it, 236 00:12:02,159 --> 00:12:06,360 and then there's the Georgia one. So I think schools 237 00:12:06,399 --> 00:12:09,039 want to sue, they want to try and force contracts, 238 00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:12,000 which they are legal contracts, but then it comes into 239 00:12:12,039 --> 00:12:14,679 all these issues that you know Garrett talked about, and 240 00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:17,799 the deonce are the employees. So that's that's why it 241 00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:20,720 is imperative that at some point there becomes a collective 242 00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:24,000 bargaining agreement and you can in fact enforce these contracts 243 00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:26,559 because then they won't try to leave. But right now 244 00:12:26,919 --> 00:12:29,120 I think the players kind of have all the all 245 00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:31,639 the power really, you know, they get the benefit of 246 00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:33,960 the contract they want their taking either too, they get 247 00:12:34,039 --> 00:12:36,240 the benefit of the contract if they stay, but then 248 00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:38,240 they also have the flexibility if they just want to 249 00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:41,759 leave and go get a better contract. It's it's you know, 250 00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:44,159 and Duke did have a statement. They came out they said, 251 00:12:44,159 --> 00:12:48,120 we're really trying to come up with a predictability of 252 00:12:48,159 --> 00:12:51,200 what happens in these cases. So I think everybody wants 253 00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:55,080 that the predictability, except maybe that the players that want 254 00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:56,320 to leave for more money. I don't know. 255 00:12:57,080 --> 00:12:58,759 Speaker 2: Hey, there's a saying you can't have your cake and 256 00:12:58,759 --> 00:13:00,399 eat it too, but I guess in this case, you 257 00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:01,159 can have your cake. 258 00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:03,120 Speaker 4: You have your cake and eat it too. 259 00:13:03,279 --> 00:13:04,639 Speaker 2: You can have it, you can eat it too. That 260 00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:07,360 was the same my mom said, speaking of Sue, you know, 261 00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:10,919 staying on the same topic, but switching tables. What is 262 00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:15,879 it Chamberlass versus NCAA eligibility case recent court filing slams 263 00:13:15,919 --> 00:13:17,840 NCAA garret. What's the update on this one? 264 00:13:19,159 --> 00:13:22,639 Speaker 1: Well, this is another highly paid college quarterback that wants 265 00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:24,840 to play another year. So Trinidad Chambliss, you know, I 266 00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:28,200 had a great year old Miss, of course, and he's 267 00:13:28,279 --> 00:13:31,120 got a deal that they you know, the word is 268 00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:34,320 a word on the street. It's over five million dollars 269 00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:37,399 to play next year at Ole Miss. You know, he 270 00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:39,799 would get drafted in the NFL. It looks like as well. 271 00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:42,879 But the again, the projections are that he'd probably make 272 00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:45,840 less money actually as a rookie in the NFL with 273 00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:49,000 his draft position, and so he wants another year. We've 274 00:13:49,039 --> 00:13:52,039 also talked about this issue before with you guys. I 275 00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:55,360 mean where you've only got you know, you've got five 276 00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:59,120 years to or five years to play four and so 277 00:13:59,159 --> 00:14:02,440 he's out of eligible ability. And so what he did 278 00:14:02,519 --> 00:14:05,240 is he sought a waiver from the nc DOUAA and 279 00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:07,759 he filed his application for a waiver, and part of 280 00:14:07,759 --> 00:14:10,759 that was based on some injury and illness that he 281 00:14:10,799 --> 00:14:13,039 had back in twenty twenty two at Farris State where 282 00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:17,600 he missed missed the season, and the NCAA turned down 283 00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:22,039 his application. And so after that his team filed a 284 00:14:22,159 --> 00:14:27,840 lawsuit to seek essentially an injunction of permanent injunction so 285 00:14:27,879 --> 00:14:30,240 he can get another year. And so things are kind 286 00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:32,799 of on a hold right now. But one of the 287 00:14:33,039 --> 00:14:35,799 little piece of evidence that's coming to light is just 288 00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:39,279 the way the nc DOUBLEA is looking at these waivers 289 00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:43,919 and there you know, their predisposition on any of these 290 00:14:43,919 --> 00:14:47,200 decisions is to just deny them. Is just if you 291 00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:50,000 file an application for a waiver, we're going to deny it. 292 00:14:50,879 --> 00:14:52,840 And so they're pointing out that that's just not fair, 293 00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:55,559 that they need to take all the evidence into account 294 00:14:55,679 --> 00:14:58,919 and look at it objectively instead of starting from a 295 00:14:58,919 --> 00:15:01,679 standpoint of well, we've got your waiver, but we're probably 296 00:15:01,679 --> 00:15:05,240 gonna deny it. So this is just a tactic I 297 00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:09,200 think by his attorneys to just again make the NCAA 298 00:15:09,279 --> 00:15:12,279 look like this institution that's out of touch and that 299 00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:14,480 doesn't care about about their student athletes. 300 00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:19,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, you have to wonder who's really Ben says, puppeteering, 301 00:15:19,519 --> 00:15:21,879 But how who's in charge of all of these cases? And, 302 00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:24,320 like you said, do they really care? He's a great 303 00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:26,799 story in college football, you guys, I love it, but 304 00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:28,639 as you know, we said a couple of weeks ago, 305 00:15:28,679 --> 00:15:31,519 I mean, six years is six six seasons to play 306 00:15:31,559 --> 00:15:34,759 for that's a lot of football, for sure. Don't know 307 00:15:34,799 --> 00:15:36,399 how I feel about that one, but I love his 308 00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:40,080 story in college football. Nonetheless, let's keep moving on the 309 00:15:40,159 --> 00:15:42,759 last thing we have on the docket. Ex Olympian snowboarder 310 00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:47,840 FBI fugitive Ryan Wettling arrested. What's the update on this one, Preston. 311 00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:55,919 Speaker 4: Well, Ryan, the headline should be Ryan Wedding, Really bad guy, 312 00:15:56,840 --> 00:15:57,519 Ryan Wedding. 313 00:15:57,759 --> 00:15:59,120 Speaker 2: I apologize. I think I add an la. 314 00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:06,639 Speaker 4: Yeah, Ryan Wedding. He was a former Olympic snowboarder participating 315 00:16:06,639 --> 00:16:09,080 in this as a local flavor Salt Lake two thousand 316 00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:12,440 and two Olympics as a snowboarder for Canada. Well, I 317 00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:14,879 think Ryan looked at his future and didn't think there 318 00:16:14,919 --> 00:16:16,879 was much of a future in snowboarding and making money. 319 00:16:16,879 --> 00:16:18,960 So what did he do? He turned to a life 320 00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:23,799 of crime and drug crime. So Ryan Wedding has been 321 00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:27,360 for about ten years been apparently hiding out in Mexico 322 00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:32,960 and on the FBI's ten Most Wanted Fugitives. Well recently 323 00:16:33,039 --> 00:16:37,279 he turned himself into the US Embassy in Mexico and 324 00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:41,919 he has been charged with a number of crimes, crimes 325 00:16:41,919 --> 00:16:44,799 growing out of the fact that he was moving tons 326 00:16:44,799 --> 00:16:50,200 and tons of cocaine through Colombia, Mexico, Canada, and southern California. 327 00:16:50,519 --> 00:16:53,279 And he was doing this under the protection of the 328 00:16:53,679 --> 00:16:58,320 Cineloa cartel. This wasn't just selling a few drugs in 329 00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:02,039 his basement. He was a big time i'm drug mover 330 00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:04,960 and involved in a cartel. But in addition to that, 331 00:17:05,279 --> 00:17:10,319 he has been connected to directly connected to the murder 332 00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:14,440 of a federal witness and three other people. So he 333 00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:18,559 is scheduled to appear in an arraignment in federal court 334 00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:23,720 in La in Los Angeles, this has the makings of 335 00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:25,079 a Netflix series for sure. 336 00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:29,160 Speaker 2: Bad Guy, Well, I do watch Netflix, and if there's 337 00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:31,359 a series made, then I definitely will be watching that. 338 00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:33,720 That's for That's what.

We got into a 376 00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:19,480 bunch of news and there's a lot of basketball talk. 377 00:19:19,519 --> 00:19:23,319 You got into the targeting call talk, should that rule change? 378 00:19:23,759 --> 00:19:25,759 Player was held out in the National Championship. I thought 379 00:19:25,759 --> 00:19:27,640 that was a good discussion. I think that's a rule 380 00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:29,920 that affected BO. You have to wonder if that rule 381 00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:31,759 was changed. And just to fine with BO, you had 382 00:19:31,799 --> 00:19:33,839 beaten Utah that year with kay Nikoley. He had two 383 00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:35,839 picks in that game. It was a fantastic game, but 384 00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:38,000 then was out due to that targeting called.
