Podcast appearances and mentions of Roger Goodell

(00:00) Albert Breer of SI and MMQB Joins Zolak & Bertrand live in studio to discuss Roger Goodell’s legacy. (12:24) The crew dives into the dysfunction going on in Miami and if they are able to turn things around. (24:50) We discuss whether the Patriots would be better off with their current QB Drake Maye or Vikings QB JJ McCarthy. (38:35) We close out the hour with Zo, Beetle, and Albert Breer’s thoughts on Drake Maye, in addition to predictions for Week 2 at Miami.

The reason a barrel-chested, born-on-the-1-yard line idiot like Roger Goodell can be made the commissioner of the NFL, and the league still thrives, is because its product is more powerful and pure than Walter White's sky blue crystal meth. And the Bills' comeback against the Ravens proved it, once again. CZABE flies solo today, and has a lot of NFL mop-up, plus a reminder that selling your tickets, or leaving early, remains a purely "business decision" you, as a fan, are entitled to!

Hour 1 We get NFL football tonight as the Cowboys play the Eagles. The Giants open with Washington and then play the Cowboys and Gio said they have to win one of those games as they can't start the season 0-2 with two losses in the division. The NFC East could be a top division if the Giants figure out how to get some wins. We wondered how soon Brian Daboll would try to get Jaxson Dart into games. Jerry is here for his first update of the day and starts with a preview of Cowboys/Eagles. Jerry is doing the game on radio with Brian Baldinger, who's in the NFL's ‘mangled hand' club.

Mr. Beast Biography Flash a weekly Biography.The last few days have been blockbuster ones for Mr. Beast, known to friends and followers as Jimmy Donaldson. Yesterday, social feeds and media outlets exploded after Mr. Beast posted a tongue-in-cheek Instagram update claiming he had bought the entire NFL, complete with behind-the-scenes shots alongside commissioner Roger Goodell and “drafting” YouTubers to NFL teams. Parade Magazine covered the event, noting that Donaldson is putting top online personalities like iShowSpeed and Haley Baylee on the rosters for a wild new YouTube video. The NFL itself even joined the banter in the comments, congratulating Jimmy on “good doing business” – clearly signaling this is a playful collab, not a real acquisition. The video is a promo for YouTube's first exclusive NFL live stream: this Friday, September 5, fans will get to watch the Chargers versus Chiefs for free, live from São Paulo, Brazil. According to the official YouTube Blog, creators like Valkyrae, Dude Perfect, and Sketch will be penned into alternate livestreams, transforming a traditional NFL broadcast into a creator-led internet spectacle, while fans can bounce between creator commentary party streams for a totally new experience. Economic Times dissected viral rumors, confirming Mr. Beast didn't actually buy the NFL, but emphasizing how the collaboration could become a cultural inflection point for sports and digital creators. On the business front, news broke via Business Insider and Android Police that Mr. Beast is plotting a Beast-branded mobile phone service, aiming for a 2026 launch. This won't be a new cell network but a rebranded mobile virtual network operator, built on existing telecom infrastructure just like Ryan Reynolds' Mint Mobile. Beast Industries already covers chocolate bars, toys, and the new “Lunchly” food line, but a phone plan could let Donaldson tap directly into his mind-blowing YouTube audience of 400 million for recurring revenue. The project, while intriguing, isn't top priority yet, but sources close to the company reveal serious evaluation and planning underway.On social media, the reaction has been electric. Instagram, Twitter, and YouTube have all been flooded with fans, NFL insiders, and creators speculating about future collabs, watching for hidden clues, and wondering what Mr. Beast could buy next. Speculation about fintech or mobile gaming ventures is swirling but remains unconfirmed for now. Thank you for tuning in to Mr. Beast Biography Flash.

DeMaurice Smith with a tell all book and now a tell us interview with C&D The Braves good fortunes continue in Miami Business of Sports - Mizuno Golf See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

DeMaurice has written a terrific and insightful book.... TURF WARS: The Fight for the Soul of America’s Game More than just a story of labor battles and legal fights, TURF WARS situates the NFL’s controversies within a larger cultural and historical framework, revealing how the league’s meteoric rise reflects America’s own struggles with race, power, and economic disparity. DeMaurice is the ultimate insider - for fourteen years, he led the NFLPA through some of the league’s most contentious crises—including Colin Kaepernick’s protests, Deflategate, a lockout, and two collective bargaining agreements—standing as the players’ fiercest advocate against a system designed to silence them. Now, for the first time, Smith pulls back the curtain on the inner workings of the league and the billion-dollar machine that profits off its athletes while keeping them in check.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Chuck Todd unpacks the troubling patterns that emerge after every mass shooting, from how the public rushes to confirm their priors to how culture wars are inflamed when a shooter's identity becomes politicized. With the FBI investigating the latest tragedy as a possible hate crime, trust in law enforcement once again splits along partisan lines, reflecting the deeper polarization running through government agencies and public perception alike. Then, Todd previews his conversation with DeMaurice Smith as he turns to the looming era of labor strife in professional sports—examining how the NFL operates as a “socialist experiment,” how name-image-likeness deals and the transfer portal are shifting the mindset of athletes, and why collective bargaining disputes will be on the horizon.Then, Chuck Todd is joined by former NFL Players Association executive director DeMaurice Smith to discuss his new book Turf Wars and the untold battles behind the modern NFL. Smith reflects on how he—despite never playing the game—won the trust of star athletes, navigated intense resistance from owners, and fought for free agency and labor protections. He shares candid stories of his uphill battle to lead the NFLPA, from owners attempting to block his election to risking his career to stand with players.Smith also offers a rare look inside the billionaire owners' club, likening it to a feudal kingdom where prestige and profit outweigh fairness. He reveals how Roger Goodell consolidated power, why Jerry Jones remains a polarizing force, and how owners exploit their franchises like personal toys. From hidden revenues to weak contract protections, Smith explains why the NFL has thrived financially while leaving players vulnerable. And with college athletes gaining leverage and younger NFL players more empowered, Smith warns that a seismic labor showdown between players and owners may be on the horizon.Finally, he answers listeners' questions in the “Ask Chuck” segment.Timeline:(Timestamps may vary based on advertisements)00:00 Chuck Todd's Introduction01:00 There's a pattern to every mass/school shooting02:15 People always look to confirm their priors with every shooting03:30 The shooter being trans could inflame the culture wars04:30 Shooting could be politicized in all the wrong ways06:00 FBI announces it will be investigated as terrorism/hate crime07:00 Trust and favorability of law enforcement is polarized10:00 Agencies are being run by partisans acting partisanly12:45 The public & Trump view everything through a partisan lens14:45 DeMaurice Smith TEASE18:00 We're about to enter an era of labor strife in professional sports19:45 The NFL is one of the great socialist experiments in America22:30 The attitude of future NFL players will change due to NIL/Xfer portal23:45 We'll likely see collective bargaining amongst college players26:45 DeMaurice Smith joins the Chuck ToddCast 29:45 Why write Turf Wars?

On this episode of Conduct Detrimental: THE Sports Law Podcast, Dan Lust (⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@SportsLawLust)⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠is joined by Tarun Sharma (⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@tksharmalaw⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠), Mike Kravchenko (⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Watch on YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠) and special guest, Don Van Natta Jr. (@DVNJr⁠⁠) to break down major stories including Jon Gruden's massive legal victory, Shohei Ohtani's involvement in a $240M real estate dispute, and Trump's executive order on college sports.Dan and the team first tackle Trump's "Saving College Sports" executive order, explaining what's actually in it versus the headlines. They cover the requirements for athletic departments based on revenue thresholds, the prohibition on third-party pay-for-play, and clarification that student-athletes aren't employees. Mike provides coverage of the shocking $240M real estate lawsuit involving Shohei Ohtani and his agent, centered on a luxury Hawaiian development deal. The case alleges tortious interference and unjust enrichment, with Ohtani potentially liable for his agent's actions despite being removed from direct negotiations. Dan connects this to the previous gambling controversy, suggesting this case could reveal more about Ohtani's actual involvement in business dealings than previously known.The episode also covers Oklahoma quarterback John Mateer's gambling controversy involving Venmo transactions labeled "sports gambling," examining why even jokes about NCAA violations can trigger investigations and the broader implications for student-athlete social media use.The Centerpiece: Don Van Natta Jr. joins for a discussion of the Nevada Supreme Court's 5-2 decision allowing Jon Gruden's case against Roger Goodell and the NFL to proceed in open court rather than arbitration. Don explains how this stems from the Dan Snyder investigation, the 650,000 emails obtained by Beth Wilkinson, and why only Gruden's 11 emails were leaked. The conversation explores the unconscionability ruling that could destroy the NFL's arbitration system, the potential for massive discovery including all those emails, and why Gruden has said he'll "burn the house down" to get the truth. and finally, what to watch for: Tarun previews the long-awaited NCAA decision on Michigan's sign-stealing scandal, while Mike provides Conduct Detrimental updates and recommends WWE Unreal on Netflix. Dan enthusiastically reviews the Chiefsaholic documentary, offering a cautionary tale about lawyers appearing in documentaries.Let us know your thoughts!***Have a topic you want to write about?

   A local owner affiliated with a possible ballpark for the Royals is the new owner of the land at 119th and Nall.  I'm sure they'd love to have a stadium there but, if not, it's obviously a potentially great purchase for a company in the real estate business.    Trump's DC takeover has Dems hopping mad.  A whistleblower turned in Adam Schiff for giving orders to dems to leak fake info about Trump to get him indicted.  This happened just weeks into Trump's first term and the intel staffer turned Schiff in to the FBI in February of 2017 and nothing ever came of it.    Former Raiders coach Jon Gruden won a huge court ruling in Nevada Monday a in his lawsuit against the NFL and Roger Goodell.    Salvy does it again as the Royal win 7-4.  We will tell you exactly what they need to do in their final 43 games to have  a chance at the playoffs.   Bill Self is cleared by doctors to coach, the UFC strikes a deal with the new media company Skydance and a rocker defends Bruce Springsteen's outrageous comments on foreign soil.

Josh Pate and the Boys go through all 16 SEC fanbases and give their worst thing about them while Pate gives his best. Plus, Jon Gruden winning Nevada should teache Roger Goodell a valuable lesson. And what the Paramount+ deals means for the UFC and the future of Pay-Per-View. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

SEASON 4 EPISODE 2: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:45) SPECIAL COMMENT: The United States of America does not have a functioning government. The Trump Dictatorship and the Library of Congress – Congress which Mike Johnson runs via a porn app – DELETED part of the official online edition of the Constitution – the part that limits the suspension of Habeas Corpus and bans presidents accepting foreign bribes. The Library says it was a coding error and would be fixed soon…ish. Yeah, the coding in Trump’s DNA. The White House had to DENY that the White House Chief of Staff was to meet last night with the Vice President, the Attorney General, the Deputy Attorney General, and the FBI Director to discuss what to DO about the Trump/Epstein cover-up scandal, and what to do WITH the RECORDING of the Deputy Attorney General’s two days’ of bargaining with a convicted pedophile and child sex trafficker… and nobody seemed to notice that the headline was that WHATEVER the Chief of Staff, A-G, Deputy A-G, and FBI Director WERE meeting with the Vice President ABOUT… the PRESIDENT WASN’T GOING TO BE THERE. There is no competent executive authority, no congressional or senate oversight, no reliable judiciary. The United States of America does NOT NOW have a functioning government. The nominal president has spent the last few days making up economic statistics and poll numbers and threatening his predecessors with prosecution for imaginary crimes punishable by death while wandering around the roof of the White House, and phoning in to a business network with racist moronity the content of which is just this side of a 19th century minstrel show, or continuing to get more and more in bed, figuratively, with a convicted pedophile and child sex trafficker, in a scheme to cover-up her crimes, her late partner crimes, and whatever the president’s role was or was not… in them. And the first and seventh people in the line of presidential succession were going to have dinner with their Epstein expert who just met with Gulaine Maxwell and the head of the FBI and the woman who RUNS the White House but NOT the president and you know it almost doesn’t MATTER if they were meeting to try to figure out what to do about Trumpsteen or not. By 3:14 PM Eastern the Library of Congress said Sections 8, 9 and 10 of the 1st Article were back online so, shrug emoji, I guess there are limits on emoluments and suspending Habeas Corpus… for now. Fifteen minutes later, however, there were still huge swaths of all three sections missing from the official online version of the Constitution. But coding. And so what, it’s just the ONLINE version, what’s the difference? Trump just fired the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics because she wouldn’t delete the official online jobs numbers and will soon find someone to post fabricated numbers online which will then be accepted as real – and official – because they’re ONLINE. There is no functioning government, just a mediocre Public Relations firm. Understaffed. Trying to sell Edsels, Google Glasses, New Coke, and fascism. B-Block (40:00) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: Acting NASA "Director" Duffy wants to put nukes on the moon, even though that was the plot of the re-make of the movie "The Time Machine" in which nukes on the moon destroyed the moon and rendered earth uninhabitable good call reality TV boy. The New York Times won't stop trying to make Harvard-Fetch happen. And the Trump Council on Lack of Fitness, the one Super Bowl star Saquon Barkley turned down membership on? The Council announced he accepted. C-Block (55:00) THURSDAYS WITH THURBER: Of all his great stories, the one that might have been the most likely to have been written in order to be performed aloud, I humbly offer you this week: "The Night The Bed Fell."
