After some Better Call Saul recap talk (Where did you go Kim Wexler?) we discuss the ramifications of Snyder’s 10+ hours of Congressional testimony. With no bombshell leaks it was probably a lot of nothing. Next up it’s the strange saga of the Kyler Murray Homework Contract Clause that was included and then stricken. From his new mega contract. We also look at the contract in comparison to the insane Watson deal and implications for Lamar Jackson. We close with Juan Soto, who we now know was in fact traded yesterday, but at the time of recording it was only speculation. The hypothetical we looked at was if you were the next Nationals owner would you like no giants contracts to deal with or a generational talent who is not yet 25?

Ryan Kerrigan re-signs with the team for one day to retire. AGG is done. Dan Snyder had an 11-hour zoom call with Congress. It’s official that Young will miss the start of the season. Limited fans in attendance. It’s amazing how much there is to talk about once camp starts.

We finish up our position group breakdowns. Talk a little training camp, a little madden. Give @joejacoby4hof a follow.

Where in the Mediterranean is Daniel Snyder? Will he stay on his yacht and gamble that the Red Team wins the House and gavels his problems away? We just can't quit the federal government as we look at the Department of Justice investigating the PGA and their actions over the LIV Deflections. We don't often cover Agents Behaving Badly but did Casey Close do Freddie Freeman dirty and withhold the final offer from the Hometown Braves? Sports talking head Dog Gottlieb tweeted as much and now he's looking at a libel suit. We end discussing the surprise exit of Matthew Berry from ESPN. He is no longer a Company Man (cue music.) Where does the king of Fantasy Football land next? Amazon? NBC? His own empire? We figure whatever it is, he won't end up on the Hate List.

I know the 5th year anniversary is the wooden anniversary and year 10 is Tin. What's 90? The Brits call it the granite anniversary. So let's all go get some rocks to give the team. We also talk tight ends.

The football team with a brand new name, its 4th, is celebrating its 90 years as a franchise. We look at the running backs.

It's Just Business Ep 136 - The Big 14 no 16 no… by The Hog Sty

Terry McLaurin this show is almost all about Terry McLaurin... and the other WR's sure. But mostly Terry. Happy 4th everyone.

Goodell testified to congress and said nothing of real value. A bunch of new stories about Dan Snyder being a jerk came out after he no-showed. We talk about the Safety depth chart.

We look at a number of heel turns in the world of sports business. First up is the people’s champ of most despised villains Dan Snyder, as we head to SnyderWorld where Mr. Snyder is dodging congress and backsliding on stadium locales. Could the chance to sell for $5B+ entice him? The Broncos just established a new first floor in NFL franchise valuations. Next we have Vince McMahon, long experienced in playing the villain in his own league, exiting day to day control of the team as he is under investigation for paying a lover with company money. It’s all playing out with a jester’s flair for the ridiculous. We wrap with the Saudi Golf league, LIV and the recent players to bolt the PGA for new riches. Listen until end to learn what “LIV” stands for (or just Google it.)
