Money & Sports: The Cost of Raising a Prodigy


Listen Later

The Athletic's Antonio Morales talks about the rising cost of everything that goes into raising a five-star college quarterback. Jonah and Matthew discuss Roman Abramovich's decision to sell Chelsea, the MLB lockout, and the crashing and burning L.A. Lakers.

Time-stamp highlights include the Morales interview (8:50), the village it takes to raise an elite QB prospect (13:30), how figure skaters might be a cautionary tale for parents chasing the QB dream (24:45), whether a billionaire Russian oligarch can be a sympathetic figure (37:30), potential positives to the MLB work stoppage (52:30), Laker schandenfreude (1:00:00) what Russell Westbrook can learn from Allen Iverson (1:03:00), and more!
