conspiracy is the NFL crafted the matchups around Taylor Swift’s concert schedule in an effort to allow her to attend more games is this real and is it significant so I’ve got toothpaste bubble gum and pudding and we’ll combine all of these things together and we’ll give you a giant migraine headache enjoy number number one number one Lor you jump number one no let me try that again number one number one there man I think we got to get Lorena some food here I think we got to get her some all right anyway listen to answer the question the NFL crafting the matchup uh for the schedule around Taylor Swift’s concert schedule is that you agree with that is that real is that significant uh I’m going yes and yes I’m going two yeses on that that’s my answer my final answer that’s it the the implication is rather startling that the NFL handcrafted things in an effort to accommodate a pop diva who’s canoodling the chief’s tight end but it makes a lot of sense it from a business standpoint it’s good business you’re writing the Cod tales of the swifties and The swifties Bu jerseys too as Michael Jordan would say it’s it’s not a great look in terms of integrity and things like that now how do we know it’s not a great look for the NFL because after the own the the own vice president the vice president of the NFL gave the statement their own guy the story was like a tsunami it was everywhere it went viral and the NFL how did they handle it they circled the way uh the NFL decided this is not a good look so we need to clean this up there’s a spill on aisle 7 we got to clean this up so they reached out to a bunch of useful idiots in the media who then blindly just repeated whatever the NFL tells them as the league tried to put the tooth toothpaste back in the tooth they we got the toothpaste we’ve taken it out of the tube and we’re going to put it back in and make it seem like no we’re not going to have any toothpaste missing good luck unring the Bell me thinks they’re trying a bit too hard because there was some funny business going on the NFL is trying to spin this well it’s because we had scheduled dates where stadiums were being used for Taylor Swift but that’s not exactly what the guy said at least that’s as I understand that’s not what he he uh he gave to the meeting uh it’s not and so I think there was some funny business for example I’ll give you an example of the conspiracy the NFL scheduled the Chiefs to play in Orchard Park in Buffalo on November 17 now why does that matter that same weekend Taylor swift1 miles away in all Canada in Toronto at the Rogers Center Taylor Swift will be performing six shows between November 14th and November 23rd you know what day she’s not performing ding ding ding ding ding November 7 17th I’m sure that’s just a coinky dink right oh yeah that’s it yeah yeah no nothing to see here yeah sure okay that’s the ticket all right now page two we pay a brief visit to the Motor City where Jared gof was the toast of mtown Jared G claiming that job security and a no trade clause were the deciding factors the biggest factors in that massive Lions contra huge it’s a huge kind uh so how does that strike you so it strikes me as a big bottle of eyewash or a container of applesauce it’s nonsense the no trade thing doesn’t matter because players with no trade Clauses still end up getting traded so all it does is allow you to get a little bit of extra money but Jared gof is comfortable because the Lions have hooked him up with more bubble gum they’ve said okay jar we’re going to give you more bubble gum it’s doubl Min gum double your pleasure double your fun this is the second Mega contract for Jared G in his NFL career extra generational wealth for the spawns of Jared go and for the GF family and Jared G has been slightly above mediocre sometimes he’s pretty good typically when he plays in big situations he has the IPS that’s usually how it goes but is it true that Jared G by the time this contract is done in Detroit and there’s still a chance he gets a third contract but by the time this contract is done when you combine the money he has gotten from the Rams and the Lions he will end up clearing $400 million in guaranteed money a little over 400 million to be a slightly above Baseline quarterback in the NFL business is booming business is booming we go now a final point we go to Cleveland where our friend strip club John runs an establishment there but Cleveland is the SL slot here so we we follow up and a topsy of an NBA elimination the body is still not cold the kadab is losing to the Celtics and spider Mitchell we did a monologue about spider yesterday he’s back at it again and spider has had enough he can’t take it anymore he cannot take it anymore so spider Mitchell is pushing back against reports that he was frustrated by some of the Cavalier teammates and he’s not happy in Cleveland on social media he used the cap Emoji OMG the cap em it does not get more serious than cap emoj saying spider mitell that he is sick of Y all I didn’t realize he was from Texas he’s sick of yall sometimes in response to a report from a Cleveland media outfit that said uh that spider Mitchell had grown frustrated with some of his teammates the lack of maturity the lack of focus the playoff level Readiness etc etc etc and and they were just not willing to listen so quickly Donovan Mitchell saying that he’s sick of fake reports with the cap emoji with the cap Emoji about his frustrations with his Cav’s teammates where are you at on this one so I believe the chatter and not the Emoji I I I do believe that however there is a dimension in the Twilight Zone where Donovan Mitchell realizes he’s gotta stay in Northern Ohio so he’s got to be a good cop now I still think he’s gone I don’t believe he’s going to stay but there is a dimension it’s come to my attention because of the way this is all set up here that the the proof ultimately is in the pudding right the ball’s in his court Mitchell has a player option which he is almost certainly going to activate get out of his contract but he is eligible to sign a 4-year contract for 28 million in extension with the Cavs starting July 6th so even though there has been a growing drum beat that is a tough decision how much do you want to get out of Cleveland you turn down now he’ll get a lot of money wherever he plays but do you want to turn down $28 million because you don’t like your teammates and you don’t like the restaurants in Cleveland and things like that that’s a tough bridge to cross that’s not an easy bridge to cross
