00:00
Players, uh, suddenly think that they can sue their old schools for money that's supposedly
00:10
owed to them.
00:11
I say, if you didn't get an NIL deal when you were there, you lose.
00:15
Yeah, I think this is, uh, you're going to see a lot more of this, uh, Scotty, as we
00:21
continue to move forward, especially if these guys are successful.
00:24
Denard Robinson, Braylon Edwards are among a group, a large group of former Michigan
00:28
players who filed class action lawsuit against the NCAA and the Big Ten Network saying that
00:35
they should be compensated for their name, image, and like this, of course, NIL, uh,
00:40
because they still, you know, they showed all the clips, the highlights, the interviews,
00:44
things like that, uh, throughout the years of, uh, all these guys want to get paid, Scotty.
00:49
Give them the money.
00:50
They want bags.
00:51
Give them the bags.
00:52
Like I, this to me is, now listen, as you know, I play a lawyer on, uh, Law and Order
00:58
and, um, this is easy money for me.
01:01
I'm going to court and I'm going to say, real simply, wait a minute.
01:05
You had your chance when you were at Ann Arbor to get your big fat NIL deals done yourselves.
01:13
And what were you doing the whole time?
01:14
Getting laid, uh, out partying.
01:17
Why did you not get that money when you were there?
01:20
We're not giving you any money.
01:22
I'm not losing a lawsuit to this kid over, oh, we should have got money because we were
01:27
there and you used our, our likeness.
01:29
That's not palpable.
01:31
It really isn't.
01:32
You know what I mean?
01:33
That doesn't hold water with me.
01:34
Like you had your chance and you didn't do it.
01:36
What now you're crying.
01:38
Well, look, these guys obviously played in a day where this stuff wasn't available, right?
01:46
There was more under the table, uh, people were getting paid under the table.
01:50
So that's why now all of these, didn't this happen in basketball too?
01:54
With like the, what was it?
01:55
The Houston team from the air, the answer.
01:57
Some team from the eight tried this as well, that they should be paid because Mike, look,
02:03
you're going to pay everyone from before, from before two years ago, you're gonna pay
02:07
every athlete who ever played in college, uh, because there's this doubt on that.
02:11
That's going to be very tricky.
02:13
This is akin to hearing people complain when every day a guy now makes more money in their
02:21
country.
02:23
Listening to a guy cry about, I made 10 million when I was a bro, this guy's making 60 million
02:28
a year.
02:29
Why?
02:30
Why didn't I get that money?
02:31
Because you played at a time when you got the market value of 10 million, uh, when you
02:37
are a NIL athlete nowadays, you get paid to play college sports when you were a college
02:43
athlete before and they didn't have it.
02:45
It's called you effing lose.
02:48
They didn't have it.
02:49
You don't deserve shack when it wasn't there.
02:53
When you were there, I don't care how big you were or are, you know what?
02:57
If you're such a bad ass, then how come you don't have some gigantic NFL contract?
03:05
Where's all that money?
03:06
Where's all your big fat deals now?
03:09
Nobody wants you.
03:10
So what do you do here?
03:12
Let's sue everybody.
03:13
You know, we live in a world that is demented with people suing people.
03:18
I mean, this is a demented lawsuit.
03:20
If you ask me to be honest, like, what are you talking about?
03:24
You didn't get the money when you had a chance and now you want it.
03:27
Like cry me a river, honestly, like, oh, I went out with her for six weeks and I never
03:32
got any.
03:33
Oh, I just wish so bad she'd go out with me one more time.
03:36
I can't believe she ended up sleeping with the quarterback of the team and not me.
03:41
I deserve something.
03:42
Don't I?
03:43
Like, are you kidding me?
03:44
This is a joke.
03:46
Everyone does civil lawsuits just constantly.
03:49
It's just never.
03:51
Is there anything?
03:52
Literally.
03:53
And some of my best friends are lawyers and I hate all of them.
03:56
Is there anything worse than lawyers?
03:58
Honestly, lawyers really are.
04:01
They're the harbinger of evil.
04:02
They really are.
04:03
If you're a lawyer right now, you know, I'm telling the truth.
04:06
Even my best friends that are filthy rich lawyers, they even know they're crooked.
04:11
They even know that they're evil.
04:13
They all do.
04:14
And then that guy drives around in a Ferrari going, can you believe this?
04:17
He goes, all I did was get the guy out for being drunk.
04:23
It never ends with me with lawyers.
04:26
You know what I tell my son all the time?
04:27
Let's be clear.
04:28
I tell him I don't care how much pot you smoke at San Diego State.
04:33
Get your law degree, pass the bar and and defend rich criminals, real rich ones.
04:40
Get the worst of the worst.
04:43
You've heard me say this a million times, Mike.
04:45
If you want to make it in the world, every lawyer, even the worst lawyers I know, even
04:50
the worst lawyers I know have money.
04:52
Honestly, they all have money.
04:54
They all make money because they're all liars and thieves and they're good at bsing.
04:58
Trust me, I should have been a lawyer.
05:00
I'm too good at doing this.
05:02
I don't know what to do.
05:03
I should have been a lawyer.
05:04
Carver High, Carver High, Pharrell Law Firm.
05:07
Can you imagine the money flowing in?
05:09
We'll do NIL.
05:10
We'll do NIL lawsuits.
05:13
Go get the bid back.
05:14
It's never too late, Carver High.
05:15
We'll go back to college.
