on top of cool clothes, $1 million.

Could you imagine getting cool T-shirts and shoes and then also making more money than anyone in your family?

You know, I...

True story.

So people ask me all the time, it's like, are you mad that you're not getting paid that? I'm like, of course I am.

I mean, I think I could have made some good money.

But I also look back at, you know, our team at the time.

And, you know, before we started, we were talking a little bit about the Calhoun years and the Pliny years.

And, you know, I mean, college kids aren't that much smarter now than they were 20 years ago when we were there.

And, you know, I look at, you know, if I was making money, $500,000 million, I was like, what in God's name would I have been spending my money on? And right, wrong, or indifferent, my joke is always, you know, I probably would have been buying a glass bottle of vodka instead of a plastic bottle.

So, you know, I would have had like a Smirnoff instead of like McCormick's.

Yes.

Upgrade of the century.

I could have probably afforded some Coors Light instead of a 30 rack of Keystone in color.

And you would have been the

coolest guy in town.

Yeah.

I just don't know what these kids are doing with, you know, all the money.

And I think it's, I do think it's really good for these guys, but the way that they're getting paid so much upfront and not having anything backloaded, you know, by the time you finish your contract or by the time you turn 30 or 40, you don't put it some trust or something and get it when you're older.

Right.

Let's hope to God they got some good people in their corner.

Yeah.

Not just out there buying, you know, Corvettes and yeah.

But listening

to some sweaty guy in a suit, uh, Who's in his fifties.
