NFL – National Football League – Preseason Week 2 Last Night Chicago Bears 27, Seattle Seahawks 11 Bears 27, Seahawks 11 – Smith, error-prone Seahawks struggle in 27-11 loss to Bears Geno Smith did little to distinguish himself in his battle with Drew Lock for Seattle’s starting quarterback job as the sloppy Seahawks fell 27-11 to the Chicago Bears in the second preseason game for both teams. The Seahawks had planned to start Lock but turned to Smith when Lock tested positive for COVID-19 on Tuesday. That meant another opportunity for Smith, but his uninspired performance suggests Lock still has a chance to win the job. Smith finished 10 of 18 for 112 yards and was hampered by teammates’ mistakes while playing the first half. Second-year Bears quarterback Justin Fields made a brief appearance and led a field-goal drive. Saturday Detroit Lions at Indianapolis Colts, 1:00 p.m. NFL – Browns’ Deshaun Watson suspended 11 games, fined $5 million Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson will serve an 11-game unpaid suspension, pay a $5 million fine and undergo required professional evaluation and counseling following accusations of sexual misconduct by two dozen women. Watson was accused of sexually harassing and coercing women during massage therapy sessions while he played for the Houston Texans. The league had sought to ban him for at least one year for violating its personal conduct policy. Watson’s suspension begins Aug. 30, when he won’t be allowed at the team’s facility. He may return for the Browns’ game on Dec. 4 in Houston. Cleveland traded for the three-time Pro Bowler in March, signing him to a fully guaranteed $230 million contract WNBA – WNBA Playoffs – Round 1 (Best of three) Saturday New York Liberty at Chicago Sky, 12:00 p.m.                               (NYL leads 1-0) NHL – Nazem Kadri signs 7-year, $49M deal with Calgary Flames Gritty forward Nazem Kadri has signed a seven-year, $49 million contract with the Calgary Flames. He leaves the Colorado Avalanche after helping them win the Stanley Cup last season. He had a career year with 87 points in 71 regular-season games and kept that going into the playoffs with seven goals and eight assists sandwiched around a broken thumb. Kadri was considered the second-best NHL free agent available after winger Johnny Gaudreau, who left for Columbus. NCAA – Big Ten – B1G deal: Big Ten lands $7 billion, NFL-style TV contracts The Big Ten has announced its new, seven-year media rights deal with Fox, NBC and CBS that is believed to be the richest ever struck with a college sports conference. A person familiar with the contracts tells The Associated Press that the conference’s soon-to-be 16 member universities eventually will share more than $1 billion in revenue per year. Starting in 2024, when USC and UCLA join the conference, Big Ten football Saturdays will be structured similar to the NFL. That means three marquee games being carried in consecutive time slots on three different major TV networks. NCAAFB – 2022 NCAA rules changes address targeting, faking injuries College football players penalized for targeting now can have part of their punishment appealed under new NCAA rules. Players flagged for making an above-the-shoulder hit in the second half of a game must sit out the first half of the following game. This season the national coordinator of officials can take a second look at the call. If the call is determined to be made in error, the player will be allowed to play in the first half the next game. There also are new rules pertaining to players faking injuries to stop the clock and blocking below the waist. NCAA – NCAA asks members for help with NIL violation investigations NCAA officials have sent a letter to members updating them on enforcement’s staff pursuit of “potential violations” of the name, image and likeness compensation policy. The association emphasized the need for schools to aid investigations. The email says NCAA enforcement staff is “actively investigating potential abuses of NIL transactions and we’ll allege any substantiated concerns as soon as possible.” The NCAA in 2020 lifted its ban on athletes earning money for things like endorsement and sponsorship deals, social media posts and personal appearances. Golf – PGA/LIV – Judge sets January 2024 trial for LIV Golf suit against tour Players from Saudi-funded LIV Golf who have filed an antitrust lawsuit against the PGA Tour will be waiting nearly 16 months for the case to go to trial. U.S. District Judge Beth Labson Freeman has set the trial for Jan. 8, 2024. Depending on whether LIV attorneys proceed with a preliminary injunction that means PGA Tour players who have been suspended for signing with the rival league could go through another year of not being allowed at tour events. LIV attorneys say they will need discovery material from nine players. That indicates two players have asked out of the lawsuit. Tennis – US Open champs get $2.6 million, total compensation $60M The U.S. Open singles champions will receive $2.6 million this year, with total player compensation for the Grand Slam tournament surpassing $60 million for the first time. A larger portion of that total is being allocated to the earlier rounds, the U.S. Tennis Association announced. That decision came following input from the men’s and women’s tour player councils. The champions will earn less than the $3.9 million in 2019, the last year before the coronavirus pandemic, but players losing in the first or second round will earn around $20,000 more. The U.S. Open begins on Aug. 29 at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center. NASCAR – Kurt Busch to miss final 2 races of NASCAR’s regular season Kurt Busch will miss the final two races of NASCAR’s Cup regular season. The driver of the No. 45 Toyota for 23XI Racing made the announcement on social media. The former Cup champion was injured in a crash during the final round of qualifying at Pocono in late July and has missed four races suffering from concussion-like symptoms. Ty Gibbs will continue to fill in for Busch at Watkins Glen on Sunday and in the regular-season finale at Daytona the following week. Busch said he hoped to be cleared to compete when the playoffs begin in September at Darlington. LLWS – Boy hurt in fall at Little League World Series alert, walks The family of a 12-year-old Little League World Series player from Utah who sustained a head injury after falling from the top bunk of his bed at the dormitory complex says he has been moved from intensive care and is able to walk with support. Easton Oliverson, a pitcher and outfielder for the Snow Canyon team out of Santa Clara, Utah, suffered the injury Monday and was originally listed in critical condition. But a post on an Instagram account the family set up to share updates said he is back in a standard hospital room and can communicate with his parents. Little League International also approved the team’s decision to add Easton’s brother to the roster in his place.

The Salt Lake Tribune reports that the Utah High School Activities Association and the girl’s high school determined she in factr female after poring through her school records dating back to kindergarten. The investigation happened as at least 12 Republican-led states including Utah passed laws banning transgender women or girls in sports. Utah’s ban faces a court challenge.

He may return for the Browns’ game on Dec. 4 in Houston. Cleveland traded for the three-time Pro Bowler in March, signing him to a fully guaranteed $230 million contract WNBA – WNBA Playoffs – Round 1 (Best of three) Saturday New York Liberty at Chicago Sky, 12:00 p.m.                               (NYL leads 1-0) NHL – Nazem Kadri signs 7-year, $49M deal with Calgary Flames Gritty forward Nazem Kadri has signed a seven-year, $49 million contract with the Calgary Flames. He leaves the Colorado Avalanche after helping them win the Stanley Cup last season. He had a career year with 87 points in 71 regular-season games and kept that going into the playoffs with seven goals and eight assists sandwiched around a broken thumb. Kadri was considered the second-best NHL free agent available after winger Johnny Gaudreau, who left for Columbus. NCAA – Big Ten – B1G deal: Big Ten lands $7 billion, NFL-style TV contracts The Big Ten has announced its new, seven-year media rights deal with Fox, NBC and CBS that is believed to be the richest ever struck with a college sports conference. A person familiar with the contracts tells The Associated Press that the conference’s soon-to-be 16 member universities eventually will share more than $1 billion in revenue per year. Starting in 2024, when USC and UCLA join the conference, Big Ten football Saturdays will be structured similar to the NFL. That means three marquee games being carried in consecutive time slots on three different major TV networks. NCAAFB – 2022 NCAA rules changes address targeting, faking injuries College football players penalized for targeting now can have part of their punishment appealed under new NCAA rules. Players flagged for making an above-the-shoulder hit in the second half of a game must sit out the first half of the following game. This season the national coordinator of officials can take a second look at the call. If the call is determined to be made in error, the player will be allowed to play in the first half the next game. There also are new rules pertaining to players faking injuries to stop the clock and blocking below the waist. NCAA – NCAA asks members for help with NIL violation investigations NCAA officials have sent a letter to members updating them on enforcement’s staff pursuit of “potential violations” of the name, image and likeness compensation policy. The association emphasized the need for schools to aid investigations. The email says NCAA enforcement staff is “actively investigating potential abuses of NIL transactions and we’ll allege any substantiated concerns as soon as possible.” The NCAA in 2020 lifted its ban on athletes earning money for things like endorsement and sponsorship deals, social media posts and personal appearances. Golf – PGA/LIV – Judge sets January 2024 trial for LIV Golf suit against tour Players from Saudi-funded LIV Golf who have filed an antitrust lawsuit against the PGA Tour will be waiting nearly 16 months for the case to go to trial. U.S. District Judge Beth Labson Freeman has set the trial for Jan. 8, 2024. Depending on whether LIV attorneys proceed with a preliminary injunction that means PGA Tour players who have been suspended for signing with the rival league could go through another year of not being allowed at tour events. LIV attorneys say they will need discovery material from nine players. That indicates two players have asked out of the lawsuit. Tennis – US Open champs get $2.6 million, total compensation $60M The U.S. Open singles champions will receive $2.6 million this year, with total player compensation for the Grand Slam tournament surpassing $60 million for the first time. A larger portion of that total is being allocated to the earlier rounds, the U.S. Tennis Association announced. That decision came following input from the men’s and women’s tour player councils. The champions will earn less than the $3.9 million in 2019, the last year before the coronavirus pandemic, but players losing in the first or second round will earn around $20,000 more. The U.S. Open begins on Aug. 29 at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center. NASCAR – Kurt Busch to miss final 2 races of NASCAR’s regular season Kurt Busch will miss the final two races of NASCAR’s Cup regular season. The driver of the No. 45 Toyota for 23XI Racing made the announcement on social media. The former Cup champion was injured in a crash during the final round of qualifying at Pocono in late July and has missed four races suffering from concussion-like symptoms. Ty Gibbs will continue to fill in for Busch at Watkins Glen on Sunday and in the regular-season finale at Daytona the following week. Busch said he hoped to be cleared to compete when the playoffs begin in September at Darlington. LLWS – Boy hurt in fall at Little League World Series alert, walks The family of a 12-year-old Little League World Series player from Utah who sustained a head injury after falling from the top bunk of his bed at the dormitory complex says he has been moved from intensive care and is able to walk with support. Easton Oliverson, a pitcher and outfielder for the Snow Canyon team out of Santa Clara, Utah, suffered the injury Monday and was originally listed in critical condition. But a post on an Instagram account the family set up to share updates said he is back in a standard hospital room and can communicate with his parents. Little League International also approved the team’s decision to add Easton’s brother to the roster in his place.

Cracking into a fresh bottle of Woodford Reserve Bourbon the apes dive right into the deep end of the $49M judgment against Alex Jones. This is a hard one to get up to speed with due to the mainstream censorship and cancellation of Alex Jones. Looking at the surface and only at Sandy Hook, it's easy to write off Alex Jones as a crackpot - but the apes dig below the surface as usual. How did Alex Jones 'call' the 9/11 attacks on July 25, 2001? Are they really putting stuff in the water to make the frogs gay? Why did everyone act like Alex Jones was a lunatic when he talked about the Owl God Moloch and 'sex island' with Jeffrey Epstein for years?  Sure a broken clock is right twice a day, but this feels a bit more. You'll want to grab a cocktail and a comfy spot for this one, the apes don't shy away from discussing the American government's potential willingness to kill its own people. In other words - typical dinner table chat.

Episode 291: 3 More Steps to Becoming An Idea Detective with Barbara Winter Last week, you heard the first three of six steps to becoming an idea detective. Find your curiosity, invite ideas, and the third step, my favorite. Auditioning ideas is a productive way of framing our ideas and getting feedback on new profit centers. Today we discuss the other three steps. Barbara Winter believes in putting fun titles to everything. It is part of her living joyfully jobless formula. Her Winning Ways newsletter is the longest self-employment publication of its kind. Long-time readers keep the issues as a catalog of ideas to retrieve for inspiration and new insights along the self-bossing journey. She has a technique for building a prosperity consciousness worth hearing. Her small is beautiful philosophy comes through in generating ‘doable' ideas like the $100 hour. You can change the number to any number. Why not start with an achievable number and build your way up? What dollar bill do you have in your purse or billfold? The next three steps we share deal with getting traction with your ideas and expanding revenue streams. Stay constantly curious, no matter what. Start with questions to ask yourself when you get up in the morning. Did you know 49M people do not want to go back to the office? They like working at a home office. Maybe it is your natural habitat and a way of fostering curiosity. Protect your ideas from the naysayers. Use discernment when it comes to who you share ideas with before auditioning them to a larger audience. Barbara has a strong view about this. The sixth step to becoming an idea detective is keeping your MPC's alive and knowing when to ditch them. Creating Multiple Profit Centers or multiple streams of revenue bridge cashflow gaps and build a foundation of viability. It can be your response to a changing world and staying vital and vibrant.

Monty & Jake are talking NBA Hoops, and the breaking news that 76ers Center Joel Embiid got a massive extension from the Philadelphia 76ers this morning! Joel Embiid will make $49M per season, is he the best big in the NBA? Better than Nikola Jokic? Rudy Gobert? Anthony Davis? Is any player in the NBA worth $49M a season? BYU Football continues to signal who their starting QB will be, and Monty says the BYU Cougars are heading in the right direction! Meanwhile The Utah Utes have not named a starter, but they are in the AP Top 25, but not considered one of the best teams in the PAC 12 Conference. Are the Utah Utes under-rated or are the polls getting it right? It was another expensive day at Casa de Monty as electricians and landscapers continue to ravage the budget, but is it worth it?

What if you could achieve financial freedom fast—regardless of your current financial situation? Megan Lamke is Managing Partner at Megan Lamke Real Estate, a firm that helps driven women turn their grit into true financial growth. She built a network of real estate investors working for Wells Fargo Home Mortgage, and once she and her husband, Darik, had paid off their personal debt ($535K in under 5 years!), they started investing passively in multifamily syndications. Megan quit her corporate job to pursue active investing full-time in April of 2019, and today, the Lamkes have a portfolio of 1,491 units valued at $344M.  On this episode of Apartment Building Investing, Megan joins me to explain why she took a W-2 job after college (despite wanting to become a real estate entrepreneur) and what she and Darik did to live below their means and pay off their debt so fast.

The patient underwent endomyocardial biopsy with electron microscopy which was notable for COVID virions in the myocardium and was diagnosed with COVID myocarditis. Interestingly, his chest CT showed normal lung parenchyma and therefore presented as isolated cardiac involvement of COVID-19. The patient improved with tocilizumab, IVIG, and steroids.
