1
00:00:23,691 --> 00:00:25,493
Get your popcorn ready,

2
00:00:25,626 --> 00:00:27,728
'cause this is about
to be a good one.

3
00:00:27,861 --> 00:00:30,164
Down here in New Orleans,
you know we know how to party.

4
00:00:30,298 --> 00:00:31,699
And around here, we like to say,

5
00:00:31,832 --> 00:00:33,567
"Laissez les bons temps rouler."

6
00:00:35,803 --> 00:00:38,339
The wait is over.

7
00:00:38,472 --> 00:00:41,342
A sold-out Superdome
is the stage.

8
00:00:43,043 --> 00:00:46,380
After a year of partially
filled or empty stadiums,

9
00:00:46,514 --> 00:00:49,016
this should be
absolutely electric.

10
00:00:49,150 --> 00:00:51,219
College football's Snickers
National Title game

11
00:00:51,352 --> 00:00:53,087
has finally arrived,

12
00:00:53,221 --> 00:00:55,256
and it is the matchup
of our dreams.

13
00:00:55,389 --> 00:00:57,091
We have the 13-1 Cougars

14
00:00:57,225 --> 00:00:59,460
going against
the undefeated Wolves,

15
00:00:59,593 --> 00:01:02,530
and this is where
legends are made.

16
00:01:02,663 --> 00:01:05,466
Wolves quarterback, the Heisman
Trophy winner LeMarcus James.

17
00:01:05,599 --> 00:01:07,535
Possibly the best quarterback

18
00:01:07,668 --> 00:01:10,238
to come into the NFL
since Patrick Mahomes.

19
00:01:10,371 --> 00:01:12,706
And you know who agrees with me on that?
Miami.

20
00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:15,243
'Cause they're poised to
take him number one overall,

21
00:01:15,376 --> 00:01:18,246
and I'm hearing for about
$35 million guaranteed.

22
00:01:18,379 --> 00:01:20,047
Meanwhile, for the Cougars,

23
00:01:20,181 --> 00:01:21,815
you have running back
Cecil Burgess,

24
00:01:21,949 --> 00:01:23,717
AKA the Haitian Hammer.

25
00:01:23,851 --> 00:01:26,120
He's gonna run for,
eh, I don't know,

26
00:01:26,254 --> 00:01:28,822
200 to 400 yards every game.

27
00:01:28,956 --> 00:01:30,458
That's how he set the Big 12

28
00:01:30,591 --> 00:01:32,092
all-time single-season
rushing record.

29
00:01:32,226 --> 00:01:34,328
But the people who really build

30
00:01:34,462 --> 00:01:36,764
the college football
dynasties are the coaches.

31
00:01:36,897 --> 00:01:40,468
We are not talking enough
about Wolves coach James Lazor.

32
00:01:40,601 --> 00:01:44,104
Everybody knows the guy is
an elite program builder,

33
00:01:44,238 --> 00:01:46,940
one of the best coaches
we've seen,

34
00:01:47,074 --> 00:01:50,010
but he has never
won the big game.

35
00:01:50,144 --> 00:01:53,247
Monday night is about etching
his name in the history books.

36
00:01:55,149 --> 00:01:57,017
You have legacies on the line.

37
00:01:57,151 --> 00:01:59,229
You have controversies
surrounding the sport as a whole.

38
00:01:59,253 --> 00:02:02,656
Monday cannot get here
soon enough

39
00:02:02,790 --> 00:02:05,793
for the college football
national title game.

40
00:02:55,643 --> 00:02:57,378
You hear that?

41
00:02:58,446 --> 00:03:00,281
The poppin'?

42
00:03:03,817 --> 00:03:07,054
Was an elbow-to-helmet with
Michigan State's Will backer.

43
00:03:07,187 --> 00:03:09,357
I-right, simple, 68 blast.

44
00:03:09,490 --> 00:03:11,091
Wham.

45
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:14,895
Darn thing
ain't been right since.

46
00:03:16,497 --> 00:03:17,865
Lead.

47
00:03:18,899 --> 00:03:19,967
Hmm?

48
00:03:20,668 --> 00:03:22,236
It was 1-41 lead.

49
00:03:24,104 --> 00:03:25,806
Hmm, pretty sure...

50
00:03:25,939 --> 00:03:29,310
If you were on the second level,
then you were lead blocking.

51
00:03:29,443 --> 00:03:32,546
Michigan State ran a Chicago
53 with a robber in the box.

52
00:03:34,014 --> 00:03:36,550
I mean, no way you got to
the Will back on the blast.

53
00:03:36,684 --> 00:03:38,185
Hmm?

54
00:03:38,319 --> 00:03:39,920
Could've been lead.

55
00:03:52,533 --> 00:03:56,304
"The path of the righteous man"

56
00:03:57,938 --> 00:04:00,308
is beset on all sides

57
00:04:00,441 --> 00:04:02,310
by the inequities of the selfish

58
00:04:03,477 --> 00:04:06,113
"and the tyranny of evil men."

59
00:04:08,882 --> 00:04:11,285
"Blessed is he who,
in the name of good will,

60
00:04:11,419 --> 00:04:13,421
shepherds the weak through
the valley of darkness."

61
00:04:13,554 --> 00:04:14,855
Hmm?

62
00:04:14,988 --> 00:04:16,624
"For he is his brother's keeper

63
00:04:16,757 --> 00:04:18,459
and the finder
of lost children."

64
00:04:18,592 --> 00:04:22,796
"And I will strike them down
with vengeance and furious anger

65
00:04:22,930 --> 00:04:26,266
those who attempt to poison
and destroy my brothers."

66
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:29,670
"And you will know
my name is the Lord,

67
00:04:29,803 --> 00:04:32,706
for I lay my finger upon thee."

68
00:04:46,219 --> 00:04:47,721
You stupid, man.

69
00:04:48,822 --> 00:04:51,058
That was an Oscar-winning
performance.

70
00:04:51,191 --> 00:04:52,593
Shit.

71
00:04:52,726 --> 00:04:55,128
Ah, shit, ol' Quentin
sure can write 'em.

72
00:04:55,262 --> 00:04:56,997
Yeah, he can.

73
00:04:58,466 --> 00:05:00,133
Damn.

74
00:05:00,267 --> 00:05:03,971
Hey, you turn
your location services off?

75
00:05:04,905 --> 00:05:08,041
Yeah. On the iPad too.

76
00:05:08,175 --> 00:05:11,111
We can still call
this whole thing off.

77
00:05:11,244 --> 00:05:13,447
Chalk it up
as a research project.

78
00:05:14,915 --> 00:05:17,017
Get some grad credits out of it.

79
00:05:17,150 --> 00:05:19,286
Hell, I think we'd be
halfway to our master's.

80
00:05:28,028 --> 00:05:29,830
Bow your head, man.

81
00:05:38,972 --> 00:05:43,811
God, give us the wisdom to
see the path we must take,

82
00:05:43,944 --> 00:05:45,979
and give us the courage
to brave it.

83
00:05:47,014 --> 00:05:48,782
Make of us a light.

84
00:05:50,884 --> 00:05:52,620
Amen. Amen.

85
00:05:56,056 --> 00:05:57,891
You're getting better with that.

86
00:06:15,543 --> 00:06:16,744
We're live.

87
00:06:22,883 --> 00:06:24,652
We'd best get a move-on then.

88
00:06:24,785 --> 00:06:27,988
Coach's gonna become a heat-seeking
missile looking for you.

89
00:06:28,856 --> 00:06:29,890
Yeah.

90
00:06:31,158 --> 00:06:33,594
I just hope he understands
this ain't about him.

91
00:06:36,497 --> 00:06:39,199
Burgess, able to break away,

92
00:06:39,332 --> 00:06:41,101
into the secondary.

93
00:06:41,234 --> 00:06:43,336
Breaks another tackle...
Stop right there, Lukie.

94
00:06:43,471 --> 00:06:45,238
Right there.

95
00:06:45,372 --> 00:06:47,941
This is what I'm talking about.
Simple stretch sweep to 34.

96
00:06:48,075 --> 00:06:49,943
Lukie, zoom on 34.

97
00:06:51,211 --> 00:06:54,548
There. Right ankle dominant cut
around the left corner.

98
00:06:54,682 --> 00:06:56,383
The best running back
in the country

99
00:06:56,517 --> 00:06:59,252
is turning the corner
on an inside ankle lead.

100
00:06:59,386 --> 00:07:01,989
Why? 34's left ankle
ain't right.

101
00:07:02,122 --> 00:07:03,891
It hasn't been since week ten.

102
00:07:04,024 --> 00:07:06,860
Okay, real quick. Cecil
scores on this play, right?

103
00:07:06,994 --> 00:07:09,563
Yeah. Eighty-yard sprint,
where he outruns a free safety.

104
00:07:09,697 --> 00:07:11,899
Yeah, against Vanderbilt,
I could outrun a free safety.

105
00:07:12,032 --> 00:07:15,202
So here's what we do. If we
move Cornelius to the middle,

106
00:07:15,335 --> 00:07:16,637
we pinch in the OLBs,

107
00:07:16,770 --> 00:07:18,872
we got our safeties thinking
run support first.

108
00:07:19,006 --> 00:07:20,841
Cornelius will eat his lunch,

109
00:07:20,974 --> 00:07:23,210
and we will shut 34 down
for the night.

110
00:07:23,343 --> 00:07:24,512
I got you.

111
00:07:24,645 --> 00:07:26,947
Boys. Booster club dinner.
Five minutes.

112
00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:29,449
Yeah, yeah, they can wait.
No, they cannot wait.

113
00:07:29,583 --> 00:07:31,495
They're the team owners.
You're the guest of honor.

114
00:07:31,519 --> 00:07:33,353
Luke can babysit the film,
right, baby?

115
00:07:33,487 --> 00:07:35,288
Tell you what. You can
come back here tonight.

116
00:07:35,422 --> 00:07:37,891
You guys can touch and watch
film all night long. How's that?

117
00:07:38,025 --> 00:07:40,460
Seventy-two hours till
the national goddamn title game,

118
00:07:40,594 --> 00:07:43,063
and I got to parade around
in this dog-and-pony show.

119
00:07:43,196 --> 00:07:45,198
Heavy is the head that wears
the crown, my Lord.

120
00:07:45,332 --> 00:07:47,100
All right, look, I gotta
go get dressed, man,

121
00:07:47,234 --> 00:07:49,436
get ready for this dog-and-pony
show, as you call it.

122
00:07:49,570 --> 00:07:51,690
Seriously, you're not going
to back me up here at all?

123
00:07:51,772 --> 00:07:53,607
No, I'm not.
I just do your defense.

124
00:07:53,741 --> 00:07:56,443
That's your own offense.
That's your life offense.

125
00:07:56,577 --> 00:07:58,478
Defense right here.

126
00:07:58,612 --> 00:08:00,389
I made these short and
sweet, like you like it.

127
00:08:00,413 --> 00:08:02,149
I suggest you do the same
with your jokes.

128
00:08:02,282 --> 00:08:04,852
My jokes are hilarious, and
people love them. Yeah. Mm-hmm.

129
00:08:07,287 --> 00:08:09,489
Stop. Personal phone.

130
00:08:09,623 --> 00:08:12,192
Give me the personal phone.
Luke gets the business phone.

131
00:08:12,325 --> 00:08:14,027
Give him the business phone.

132
00:08:14,161 --> 00:08:15,963
Anything comes in,
you know where to find me.

133
00:08:16,096 --> 00:08:18,365
You need to relax.
Let's enjoy the mountaintop.

134
00:08:18,498 --> 00:08:21,477
I'll enjoy the mountaintop when we are
at the mountaintop. We're not there yet.

135
00:08:21,501 --> 00:08:23,403
Let's go. Can we go?

136
00:08:23,537 --> 00:08:24,872
Yes. Okay.

137
00:08:25,005 --> 00:08:26,640
Lukie, set all staff
for 7:00 a.m.

138
00:08:26,774 --> 00:08:29,309
Bed check on time. On time.

139
00:08:29,442 --> 00:08:30,711
Will do.

140
00:08:32,412 --> 00:08:34,247
Bed check. Let's go!

141
00:08:40,453 --> 00:08:42,522
Hey, guys,
get in y'all room, man.

142
00:08:43,791 --> 00:08:45,431
- What up, Scotty?
- Yo, what up, Orlando?

143
00:08:45,492 --> 00:08:47,412
Is Walton in there too?
Yeah, he in the bathroom.

144
00:08:47,527 --> 00:08:48,696
Let's get some rest.

145
00:08:48,829 --> 00:08:50,263
Talk to you later, man.
For sure.

146
00:08:52,733 --> 00:08:55,468
Hey, Coach, check them
back there for me. Sure.

147
00:08:58,371 --> 00:09:00,874
Yo, LJ, Em.
It's Scotty. Open up.

148
00:09:03,010 --> 00:09:05,078
Come on, guys,
stop playing. Open up.

149
00:09:33,373 --> 00:09:34,775
That's bed check.

150
00:09:37,678 --> 00:09:38,946
Yo, Scotty.

151
00:09:40,413 --> 00:09:41,949
I'm already asleep, man.

152
00:09:42,082 --> 00:09:44,017
Yeah. Sunday's snoring
like an ox.

153
00:09:44,151 --> 00:09:46,253
Can you hear him?

154
00:09:47,587 --> 00:09:49,089
He broke his nose so many times,

155
00:09:49,222 --> 00:09:51,058
once he gets on his
back, I'm screwed.

156
00:09:51,191 --> 00:09:54,261
Yeah. 8:00 a.m. sprints
in the bubble.

157
00:09:54,394 --> 00:09:55,629
Got it.

158
00:09:56,830 --> 00:09:58,265
He buy it? Hell, yeah.

159
00:10:03,270 --> 00:10:06,573
Thank God Snickers sponsored this
game and not some insurance company.

160
00:10:08,241 --> 00:10:09,242
You hungry?

161
00:10:09,376 --> 00:10:10,577
No.

162
00:10:25,092 --> 00:10:26,927
I'm telling you,

163
00:10:27,060 --> 00:10:29,730
I know they don't have boosters
this good looking in the Big 12.

164
00:10:29,863 --> 00:10:32,700
I know the Cougars
don't look this good.

165
00:10:34,267 --> 00:10:36,336
We have built this program
into a juggernaut.

166
00:10:36,469 --> 00:10:39,206
Two consecutive
conference championships,

167
00:10:39,339 --> 00:10:41,174
two consecutive play-off berths,

168
00:10:41,308 --> 00:10:43,010
and now...

169
00:10:43,143 --> 00:10:45,412
for the first time
in program history,

170
00:10:46,847 --> 00:10:50,117
we are headed to our first
national title game.

171
00:10:54,988 --> 00:10:56,790
All of you in this room,

172
00:10:56,924 --> 00:10:59,760
you have supported,
pushed and prodded,

173
00:10:59,893 --> 00:11:02,362
and sometimes much, much worse.

174
00:11:02,495 --> 00:11:04,798
But I appreciate it.

175
00:11:04,932 --> 00:11:07,034
That's how you grow.

176
00:11:07,167 --> 00:11:10,570
And I appreciate the opportunity
to have presided over this,

177
00:11:10,704 --> 00:11:14,507
to help young men
become champions

178
00:11:14,641 --> 00:11:16,777
on and off the football field.

179
00:11:16,910 --> 00:11:18,245
Go, Pack!

180
00:11:30,490 --> 00:11:32,893
You're seriously pressing
your bet again?

181
00:11:33,026 --> 00:11:35,162
Half a million dollars?

182
00:11:35,295 --> 00:11:37,564
Come on, Roger, you know me.
It's for the title.

183
00:11:37,697 --> 00:11:40,167
Go big or go home,
and I ain't fucking leaving.

184
00:11:40,300 --> 00:11:43,370
Well, the apple sure didn't
fall far from the tree with you.

185
00:11:43,503 --> 00:11:45,538
God bless your daddy's soul.

186
00:11:45,672 --> 00:11:49,009
Old Fred used to like to
bet the house in Vegas.

187
00:11:49,142 --> 00:11:51,178
He just liked the free drinks.
Well, hear, hear.

188
00:11:51,311 --> 00:11:53,580
Question is,
how in the glorious hell

189
00:11:53,713 --> 00:11:55,348
are we gonna stop Cecil Burgess?

190
00:11:55,482 --> 00:11:57,184
Fastest I seen since Herschel.

191
00:11:57,317 --> 00:11:58,618
It's me,

192
00:11:58,752 --> 00:12:00,420
I'm flooding the gaps,

193
00:12:00,553 --> 00:12:02,489
bringing Mack
from the strong side

194
00:12:02,622 --> 00:12:05,058
and feeding Cornelius
raw meat till kickoff.

195
00:12:05,192 --> 00:12:07,536
Or we break in his room and Tonya
Harding that son of a bitch.

196
00:12:07,560 --> 00:12:09,930
Now, aren't you sweet?

197
00:12:10,063 --> 00:12:11,932
Well, as long as we got
LeMarcus back there

198
00:12:12,065 --> 00:12:14,234
firing bullets, we'll be
fine... better than fine.

199
00:12:14,367 --> 00:12:16,870
Coach, we was just talking
about LeMarcus.

200
00:12:17,004 --> 00:12:18,171
LeMarcus who?

201
00:12:18,305 --> 00:12:19,706
But I'll tell you what,

202
00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:22,075
he was pretty raw
when we found him,

203
00:12:22,209 --> 00:12:26,179
and obviously, he's developed into
something really, really special.

204
00:12:26,313 --> 00:12:29,616
You think you can convince him he
ain't ready to jump for another year?

205
00:12:29,749 --> 00:12:31,952
I'm just gonna support
whatever is best for LeMarcus.

206
00:12:32,085 --> 00:12:33,854
- Amen.
- Coach, I got a kid in Little Rock.

207
00:12:33,987 --> 00:12:35,987
Hell of an arm. Got to show
you some videos of him.

208
00:12:36,056 --> 00:12:38,725
Love to see it.
You remember the bad old days

209
00:12:38,859 --> 00:12:40,794
when we were scraping
the bottom of the barrel,

210
00:12:40,928 --> 00:12:44,431
begging JUCO transfers
with cases of Budweiser

211
00:12:44,564 --> 00:12:46,066
and jobs with the dealership?

212
00:12:46,199 --> 00:12:48,101
Yeah, all too well.

213
00:12:48,235 --> 00:12:50,413
- And all that changed once you got LeMarcus.
- Bullshit.

214
00:12:50,437 --> 00:12:52,339
All that changed
when we got Coach here.

215
00:12:52,472 --> 00:12:54,274
Hey, Coach. Kevin McDonald.
Hi, Kevin.

216
00:12:54,407 --> 00:12:55,887
Director of Communication
for the CFP.

217
00:12:55,943 --> 00:12:57,653
Good to meet you,
and thanks for everything.

218
00:12:57,677 --> 00:13:01,014
Sure. Uh, we may have
a situation.

219
00:13:01,148 --> 00:13:04,317
LeMarcus just tweeted this
earlier tonight.

220
00:13:05,718 --> 00:13:08,421
It says he's boycotting
the game.

221
00:13:08,555 --> 00:13:11,091
Reporters are already swarming.

222
00:13:11,224 --> 00:13:13,793
We're trying to keep them
off the players' floor.

223
00:13:13,927 --> 00:13:16,596
Can probably do that
till morning,

224
00:13:16,729 --> 00:13:18,665
but this can get
out of hand fast.

225
00:13:18,798 --> 00:13:20,433
It won't. Give me 20 minutes.

226
00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:29,476
Guys, I'll see you right back.

227
00:13:40,753 --> 00:13:41,889
Hey.

228
00:13:43,290 --> 00:13:44,657
Hi.

229
00:13:46,026 --> 00:13:48,395
A poet at a football game.

230
00:13:49,662 --> 00:13:51,865
Philosopher at a football game.

231
00:13:51,999 --> 00:13:54,134
Anyway...

232
00:13:57,204 --> 00:13:58,939
You look fantastic.

233
00:14:02,842 --> 00:14:05,812
Scotty, we sure this is the room?
Yeah, Coach.

234
00:14:05,946 --> 00:14:08,181
Okay, and they were here
at bed check?

235
00:14:08,315 --> 00:14:10,793
Yeah, they're marked off. What the fuck
does that mean, "They're marked off"?

236
00:14:10,817 --> 00:14:13,220
Did somebody see 'em? No. But
I spoke to LJ on the phone.

237
00:14:13,353 --> 00:14:15,288
What the fuck?
You ain't seen nobody...

238
00:14:15,422 --> 00:14:17,357
You don't do bed check
on the goddamn telephone.

239
00:14:17,490 --> 00:14:19,426
You check the goddamn bed.
For Christ's sake.

240
00:14:19,559 --> 00:14:22,229
Goddamn it!
Bailey's got my phone.

241
00:14:22,362 --> 00:14:24,497
Your work one. Yes. Thank you.

242
00:14:24,631 --> 00:14:26,599
Jesus Christ, man.
We're in New Orleans.

243
00:14:26,733 --> 00:14:29,469
Walking distance to the
Quarter with LeMarcus James.

244
00:14:29,602 --> 00:14:33,273
You might want to actually check
that he's in bed at bed check.

245
00:14:33,406 --> 00:14:35,542
When's the last time did y'all see him?
Come on, now.

246
00:14:35,675 --> 00:14:37,710
Huh? When he got off the bus.

247
00:14:37,844 --> 00:14:40,623
Hey, LeMarcus, it's Coach. Just hit
me back here on the work cell, okay?

248
00:14:40,647 --> 00:14:42,349
If you're out and about,
no problem.

249
00:14:42,482 --> 00:14:44,384
Just, uh, checking in, okay?

250
00:14:44,517 --> 00:14:46,253
We'll see you
for a.m. sprints, man.

251
00:14:46,386 --> 00:14:48,421
Goddamn it. There's the
guy with the key, Coach.

252
00:14:48,555 --> 00:14:49,957
I'm sorry.

253
00:14:50,090 --> 00:14:51,424
All right.

254
00:14:53,961 --> 00:14:55,495
LeMarcus. Emmett.

255
00:14:57,597 --> 00:14:59,566
Goddamn it.

256
00:14:59,699 --> 00:15:01,601
What the...

257
00:15:01,734 --> 00:15:05,438
Well, I guess we just knock on
every goddamn door at the hotel.

258
00:15:05,572 --> 00:15:07,674
We got to find him.
Let's go. Go, go, go.

259
00:15:07,807 --> 00:15:09,576
Wake everybody up
if you have to.

260
00:15:09,709 --> 00:15:11,011
Shit.

261
00:15:21,921 --> 00:15:25,358
Come on, Cornelius,
open up the door. Hey.

262
00:15:25,492 --> 00:15:27,927
Fuck. Hold on.

263
00:15:29,196 --> 00:15:30,763
What do you want, Coach?

264
00:15:32,432 --> 00:15:34,434
What the fuck is that smell?

265
00:15:34,567 --> 00:15:36,769
That's Payton's ass
after Popeyes.

266
00:15:38,071 --> 00:15:41,141
There something you need?
Look, have you seen LeMarcus?

267
00:15:41,274 --> 00:15:43,143
Why the fuck
would I know where he's at?

268
00:15:43,276 --> 00:15:45,412
What's going on? It's nothing
for you to worry about.

269
00:15:45,545 --> 00:15:47,414
Just be ready for sprints
in the morning.

270
00:15:47,547 --> 00:15:49,482
Nasty-ass kids.

271
00:16:06,966 --> 00:16:08,368
Yo, Orlando.

272
00:16:11,404 --> 00:16:12,972
How drunk are you, man?

273
00:16:13,973 --> 00:16:15,942
I haven't drank in four months.

274
00:16:16,076 --> 00:16:17,177
Where's your phone?

275
00:16:17,310 --> 00:16:19,912
In the room, like you asked.

276
00:16:20,047 --> 00:16:22,015
But what the fuck is this, LJ?

277
00:16:22,849 --> 00:16:24,817
It's exactly what I said.

278
00:16:24,951 --> 00:16:26,753
I ain't playing
until they pay us.

279
00:16:26,886 --> 00:16:28,488
What? You broke again?

280
00:16:28,621 --> 00:16:31,058
You hurt? I'm done.

281
00:16:31,191 --> 00:16:34,161
They're here making billions
while the rest of us make scraps.

282
00:16:34,294 --> 00:16:38,131
Me and you, we could sell our names.
What about everybody else, huh?

283
00:16:39,166 --> 00:16:41,068
Whoa. Wait, wait, wait.

284
00:16:41,201 --> 00:16:43,136
Hold up, hold up.

285
00:16:44,937 --> 00:16:47,174
So you gonna sit
the national title game

286
00:16:47,307 --> 00:16:49,442
so some punt-coverage
Wayne Burnett gets...

287
00:16:49,576 --> 00:16:52,112
A real piece, yeah.

288
00:16:53,613 --> 00:16:54,847
Shit.

289
00:16:56,349 --> 00:16:58,685
LJ, you need
to think about this, bruh.

290
00:16:58,818 --> 00:17:00,520
You and crazy- Bible-Belt-Sunday

291
00:17:00,653 --> 00:17:02,355
gonna get laughed
out the building.

292
00:17:02,489 --> 00:17:04,691
And if you're lucky, what?
You gonna post on Twitter,

293
00:17:04,824 --> 00:17:08,161
and the whole fucking machine
gonna go, "Okay, okay. We give up.

294
00:17:08,295 --> 00:17:11,531
LeMarcus doesn't want to play.
Let's just make him happy."

295
00:17:11,664 --> 00:17:14,901
I ain't who you think I am.

296
00:17:15,034 --> 00:17:18,905
So you weren't the one
who gave us all 'Rona

297
00:17:19,038 --> 00:17:22,175
after fucking half the
campus during quarantine?

298
00:17:22,309 --> 00:17:24,220
You ain't tested with your
own piss in three years.

299
00:17:24,244 --> 00:17:27,680
All your cash going up in smoke
or to that shit in your ears.

300
00:17:27,814 --> 00:17:29,716
So you standing on stage
for one protest

301
00:17:29,849 --> 00:17:32,152
for Instagram and pussy

302
00:17:32,285 --> 00:17:34,354
don't make you Malcolm X,
brother.

303
00:17:34,487 --> 00:17:37,224
Ain't nobody marching
in the streets

304
00:17:37,357 --> 00:17:39,226
for the number one pick.

305
00:17:44,164 --> 00:17:47,033
Look, man,
you're a great quarterback...

306
00:17:47,167 --> 00:17:48,701
And I'm gonna keep it 100
with you:

307
00:17:48,835 --> 00:17:50,270
one of the best I've ever seen.

308
00:17:50,403 --> 00:17:51,938
But this shit?

309
00:17:54,307 --> 00:17:55,475
Uh-uh.

310
00:17:56,843 --> 00:17:58,645
You gonna embarrass
yourself, bruh.

311
00:18:01,948 --> 00:18:04,451
Look, man, you ain't
gotta come with me.

312
00:18:04,584 --> 00:18:07,420
All I'm asking is that
you don't come out against me.

313
00:18:13,193 --> 00:18:14,461
All right.

314
00:18:14,594 --> 00:18:16,496
I'll watch this show
as long as you want,

315
00:18:16,629 --> 00:18:18,731
but I ain't gettin'
a hundred yards from it.

316
00:18:28,775 --> 00:18:30,510
Good luck.

317
00:18:56,903 --> 00:18:59,672
Mmm, I cannot believe
that you are here,

318
00:18:59,806 --> 00:19:01,140
you little sneak.

319
00:19:02,775 --> 00:19:04,944
You know you love surprises.

320
00:19:05,077 --> 00:19:06,979
I do. I do.

321
00:19:07,113 --> 00:19:08,615
I just...

322
00:19:08,748 --> 00:19:11,184
I just wish you had a seat
next to me at the game.

323
00:19:11,318 --> 00:19:13,353
That's not exactly
the reason I came.

324
00:19:13,486 --> 00:19:15,888
Fine by me.

325
00:19:21,661 --> 00:19:23,296
I'm gonna take the job.

326
00:19:24,397 --> 00:19:26,299
Get a break from the university.

327
00:19:28,568 --> 00:19:29,669
Rome?

328
00:19:31,204 --> 00:19:34,140
Hard to turn down
a year teaching abroad.

329
00:19:34,274 --> 00:19:35,908
Yeah.

330
00:19:36,042 --> 00:19:39,145
Yeah, I get that.
I totally get that.

331
00:19:41,781 --> 00:19:46,219
I just had one little, tiny
little question, Mr. Poet.

332
00:19:48,721 --> 00:19:51,224
Or is it "philosopher"?

333
00:19:51,358 --> 00:19:54,394
What about us?

334
00:19:55,795 --> 00:19:57,730
We're a hotel-room romance.

335
00:19:57,864 --> 00:19:59,399
Well, now you're just
being a dick.

336
00:19:59,532 --> 00:20:01,868
You know what I'm saying.
Fuck you.

337
00:20:02,001 --> 00:20:03,436
Come visit.

338
00:20:03,570 --> 00:20:05,905
"Come visit." Grazie.

339
00:20:14,113 --> 00:20:15,482
I don't know.

340
00:20:17,484 --> 00:20:19,018
Maybe I want more.

341
00:20:42,509 --> 00:20:43,610
You all right?

342
00:20:44,511 --> 00:20:45,912
Fucking nerves, man.

343
00:20:47,213 --> 00:20:48,715
Just breathe through it.

344
00:20:50,683 --> 00:20:53,320
You got this.
You're fresh as ever.

345
00:21:04,431 --> 00:21:07,334
Habibi, this is a long way
to Frenchmen Street.

346
00:21:07,467 --> 00:21:09,636
Yeah, we like taking in
the sights, Ned.

347
00:21:09,769 --> 00:21:11,738
Okay. Your money.

348
00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:43,002
We're sure walking the talk now.

349
00:21:43,135 --> 00:21:44,837
What, you want out?

350
00:21:44,971 --> 00:21:46,773
Shit, I'm going
back to the farm.

351
00:21:46,906 --> 00:21:49,175
You're the one who's got
everything to lose.

352
00:21:51,310 --> 00:21:53,145
Glad we huddled up on that.

353
00:21:54,781 --> 00:21:58,317
Keep her running, Ned.
We may have to dine and dash.

354
00:22:03,155 --> 00:22:04,891
LeMarcus, Cathy Levy.
Nice to meet you.

355
00:22:05,024 --> 00:22:07,460
Yeah, nice to meet you. This is Em.
Are you okay?

356
00:22:07,594 --> 00:22:10,697
Peachy, yeah. Just, uh, ankle gets
a little stiff if I sit too long.

357
00:22:10,830 --> 00:22:12,298
Thanks for agreeing to do this.

358
00:22:12,432 --> 00:22:14,501
Are you kidding?
Thanks for calling.

359
00:22:19,005 --> 00:22:21,541
Whenever you're ready, go
ahead and take a seat for me.

360
00:22:22,675 --> 00:22:23,843
Holy shit.

361
00:22:25,778 --> 00:22:27,647
Damn, you look good
ten stories high.

362
00:22:27,780 --> 00:22:30,216
Just had to put that
in the background, huh?

363
00:22:33,453 --> 00:22:34,854
Here goes nothing.

364
00:22:34,987 --> 00:22:36,355
Go get 'em.

365
00:22:40,827 --> 00:22:42,429
Wait, wait.

366
00:22:46,766 --> 00:22:48,401
You ready?

367
00:22:49,335 --> 00:22:50,970
We're recording.

368
00:23:05,452 --> 00:23:07,687
"I'm personally asking
all players"

369
00:23:07,820 --> 00:23:09,556
in Monday's national title game

370
00:23:09,689 --> 00:23:11,791
to join me in this protest

371
00:23:11,924 --> 00:23:13,526
and resulting boycott,

372
00:23:13,660 --> 00:23:16,228
in order to demand that
the NCAA and its affiliates

373
00:23:16,362 --> 00:23:19,866
end their practice of unpaid labor
for the majority of their workforce,

374
00:23:19,999 --> 00:23:24,704
a practice which results in $18.9
billion a year in total revenue

375
00:23:24,837 --> 00:23:26,606
for a system which, in turn,

376
00:23:26,739 --> 00:23:30,076
"only spends $3.6 billion
on athletic scholarships."

377
00:23:31,410 --> 00:23:35,281
Where does the other 15-plus
billion dollars go, you ask?

378
00:23:35,414 --> 00:23:36,883
Well, I'll tell you:

379
00:23:37,016 --> 00:23:39,218
to an extremely lucrative
oligarchy.

380
00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:42,221
"The president of the NCAA"

381
00:23:42,354 --> 00:23:45,458
received a salary
of $3.9 million last year.

382
00:23:45,592 --> 00:23:47,927
The commissioners of the
top five power conferences

383
00:23:48,060 --> 00:23:51,197
receive an average salary
of $4 million each year.

384
00:23:51,330 --> 00:23:53,232
The latest ESPN contract
for TV rights

385
00:23:53,365 --> 00:23:54,834
to the college football
play-offs

386
00:23:54,967 --> 00:23:58,471
"is $7.3 billion
over the next 12 years."

387
00:23:58,605 --> 00:24:02,875
That's over $600 million
a year for three games.

388
00:24:03,009 --> 00:24:06,078
That's the reason they're expanding
the play-offs to 12 games.

389
00:24:12,218 --> 00:24:15,287
My coach, James Lazor,

390
00:24:15,421 --> 00:24:17,924
receives an annual salary
of $5 million,

391
00:24:18,057 --> 00:24:20,459
plus up to a million dollars
in on-the-field bonuses,

392
00:24:20,593 --> 00:24:22,829
including
the national title game.

393
00:24:22,962 --> 00:24:24,831
You see, all of this money

394
00:24:24,964 --> 00:24:28,167
is predicated on one
underlying principle:

395
00:24:29,168 --> 00:24:30,970
free labor.

396
00:24:31,103 --> 00:24:33,105
It is un-American,
it is exploitative,

397
00:24:33,239 --> 00:24:35,942
and it speaks to the darkest
spots in the national soul.

398
00:24:36,075 --> 00:24:39,779
Now, it is not enough for some of us to
be able to use our name and likeness,

399
00:24:39,912 --> 00:24:42,849
which, make no mistake,
costs them nothing.

400
00:24:42,982 --> 00:24:45,117
So our demands are as follows:

401
00:24:46,586 --> 00:24:48,154
"One,"

402
00:24:48,287 --> 00:24:50,489
the creation of non-revocable,
player-controlled trusts

403
00:24:50,623 --> 00:24:52,759
for every Division I
varsity athlete.

404
00:24:52,892 --> 00:24:55,261
Number two, the NCAA will form

405
00:24:55,394 --> 00:24:57,697
and contribute to a
player's disability pension

406
00:24:57,830 --> 00:24:59,365
for Division I athletes

407
00:24:59,498 --> 00:25:01,568
"who are injured
from college athletics."

408
00:25:01,701 --> 00:25:03,803
Shit. "And number three",

409
00:25:03,936 --> 00:25:05,805
the NCAA will
officially recognize

410
00:25:05,938 --> 00:25:08,174
and collectively bargain
with the players' union,

411
00:25:08,307 --> 00:25:11,477
submitting to all federally
mandated laws and guidelines

412
00:25:11,611 --> 00:25:13,746
"of a unionized workforce."

413
00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:17,750
In this, the NCAA
will recognize players

414
00:25:17,884 --> 00:25:21,187
as employees
and not student athletes.

415
00:25:22,622 --> 00:25:24,190
Thank you.

416
00:25:41,373 --> 00:25:44,176
He said he'd be
right over, so...

417
00:25:45,712 --> 00:25:47,847
Got a lot on his plate.

418
00:25:49,582 --> 00:25:50,883
Hey, there he is.

419
00:25:51,017 --> 00:25:52,885
All right. Good morning, Coach.

420
00:25:53,019 --> 00:25:56,656
Thanks for coming over so quick.
This is Wes Martin from the Big 12.

421
00:25:56,789 --> 00:25:58,958
He's gonna be our enemy for
the next 48 hours.

422
00:25:59,091 --> 00:26:01,460
- Kevin McDonald from the CFP.
- We met yesterday.

423
00:26:01,594 --> 00:26:05,131
And Mike Titus, Senior VP,
Championships, D-I football.

424
00:26:05,264 --> 00:26:06,699
James, we've actually met.

425
00:26:06,833 --> 00:26:09,035
Yeah, at the Outback Bowl
two seasons ago.

426
00:26:09,168 --> 00:26:12,071
That's right. You have come a long way.
Looks like you have too.

427
00:26:12,204 --> 00:26:14,907
Yes, indeed. Please have a seat.

428
00:26:15,041 --> 00:26:16,809
Real, uh...

429
00:26:16,943 --> 00:26:19,779
- Real mess we got here.
- Well, not really.

430
00:26:19,912 --> 00:26:22,248
I just need to get with LeMarcus
and talk things through.

431
00:26:22,381 --> 00:26:24,784
These kids don't fully
understand what they're doing.

432
00:26:24,917 --> 00:26:27,186
A coach and his quarterback.
No closer bond.

433
00:26:27,319 --> 00:26:30,623
You were a quarterback yourself
back in the day, am I right?

434
00:26:30,757 --> 00:26:32,925
Coaches are just players
who can't play anymore.

435
00:26:33,860 --> 00:26:35,427
You still don't know
where he is?

436
00:26:35,561 --> 00:26:37,563
- What?
- Where LeMarcus is.

437
00:26:37,697 --> 00:26:40,199
We're broadcasting this game
in 160 countries.

438
00:26:40,332 --> 00:26:42,802
They're all tuning in to watch
him go against Cecil Burgess.

439
00:26:42,935 --> 00:26:45,604
I love these marketing guys.
You know that LeMarcus and Cecil

440
00:26:45,738 --> 00:26:48,440
both play offense,
so they won't be facing off.

441
00:26:48,574 --> 00:26:51,443
I know how the game works, Coach.
Look, LeMarcus is around.

442
00:26:51,577 --> 00:26:53,212
He's probably
in the hotel somewhere.

443
00:26:53,345 --> 00:26:55,447
I just haven't had a chance
to get with him yet.

444
00:26:57,850 --> 00:27:01,353
Coach, I think it's best if
the NCAA took the reins here.

445
00:27:01,487 --> 00:27:03,923
We're more of an impartial jury.
We just want a great game.

446
00:27:04,056 --> 00:27:06,859
Well, I think that's what all
of us want, right? Yes, it is.

447
00:27:06,993 --> 00:27:10,730
That's why we were hoping you could
shed some light on this young man.

448
00:27:10,863 --> 00:27:12,999
LeMarcus. What's his character?

449
00:27:13,132 --> 00:27:14,901
He's a good kid.

450
00:27:15,034 --> 00:27:18,004
He's just, uh...
Like a lot of kids his age,

451
00:27:18,137 --> 00:27:20,940
maybe he's a little too fond
of the spotlight and its perks.

452
00:27:21,073 --> 00:27:23,843
Hell, if I was the best QB in the
country, I think I'd be bouncin' 'em

453
00:27:23,976 --> 00:27:26,445
out of my apartment
three at a time, huh?

454
00:27:26,578 --> 00:27:29,415
LeMarcus
is not a troublemaker, okay?

455
00:27:29,548 --> 00:27:33,485
I want to be very clear on this.
LeMarcus is a good person.

456
00:27:34,553 --> 00:27:37,790
He's just a kid
with too much power

457
00:27:37,924 --> 00:27:40,492
who, I don't know,
had a bad tweet.

458
00:27:40,626 --> 00:27:43,095
- And interview.
- Okay.

459
00:27:43,229 --> 00:27:45,531
Well, you know, Coach is
gonna right this ship.

460
00:27:45,664 --> 00:27:47,584
- He just needs a little more time, right?
- Yep.

461
00:27:47,633 --> 00:27:50,903
- You think somebody got to him?
- "Somebody"?

462
00:27:51,037 --> 00:27:53,840
Like an organized labor rep,
an ACLU lawyer?

463
00:27:53,973 --> 00:27:55,507
Maybe the Russians.

464
00:27:57,309 --> 00:28:00,012
That's a fucking joke, guys.
Huh. Come on, guys.

465
00:28:00,146 --> 00:28:03,182
Look, LeMarcus, from sixth,
seventh grade on,

466
00:28:03,315 --> 00:28:05,084
they're big men on campus.

467
00:28:05,217 --> 00:28:07,887
He and Emmett, they still
think this is playtime here.

468
00:28:08,020 --> 00:28:09,989
They don't understand
the world stage.

469
00:28:10,122 --> 00:28:12,158
They don't understand
the implications here.

470
00:28:12,291 --> 00:28:13,851
They just asked
to collectively bargain.

471
00:28:13,960 --> 00:28:16,195
They want to destroy the
student-athlete designation.

472
00:28:16,328 --> 00:28:18,865
Not the demands of some kids
spitting in the wind.

473
00:28:18,998 --> 00:28:20,508
You telling me I don't
know my own players?

474
00:28:20,532 --> 00:28:22,068
I'm saying
you might be in denial

475
00:28:22,201 --> 00:28:23,879
about what is actually
happening right now.

476
00:28:23,903 --> 00:28:25,604
Come on, Wes.
That's over the line.

477
00:28:25,738 --> 00:28:27,673
Is it? Yes, it is.

478
00:28:27,807 --> 00:28:30,576
Coach, what they're asking for is
bigger than football or one game.

479
00:28:30,709 --> 00:28:32,254
Understood. It's our entire
amateur athletics program

480
00:28:32,278 --> 00:28:33,813
in the country.

481
00:28:33,946 --> 00:28:37,750
That's 24 sports for
young men and women, gone.

482
00:28:37,884 --> 00:28:40,286
Hundreds of thousands
of students,

483
00:28:40,419 --> 00:28:41,720
student athletes,

484
00:28:41,854 --> 00:28:44,423
being denied
a college experience.

485
00:28:44,556 --> 00:28:47,726
We're 40-somethin' hours
to kickoff here, guys.

486
00:28:47,860 --> 00:28:49,661
We need to make sure
everybody's suiting up.

487
00:28:49,796 --> 00:28:51,798
There hasn't been a single
defection from our side.

488
00:28:51,931 --> 00:28:53,800
It's theirs
that's falling apart.

489
00:28:53,933 --> 00:28:55,902
Hey. Nothing's falling apart.

490
00:28:56,035 --> 00:28:58,004
Okay? Everybody relax
a little bit.

491
00:28:58,137 --> 00:29:00,773
- Three wide receivers
just tweeted, "We're in."

492
00:29:00,907 --> 00:29:04,276
With a hashtag that's going
viral: "Fix the system."

493
00:29:04,410 --> 00:29:07,947
Your other two stars, Bishop
and Cornelius, could be next.

494
00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:10,616
Orlando Bishop
is my one and only captain.

495
00:29:10,749 --> 00:29:13,419
He is team first.
He's not going anywhere.

496
00:29:13,552 --> 00:29:16,688
And Cornelius, frankly,
can't stand LeMarcus.

497
00:29:16,823 --> 00:29:19,225
He wouldn't follow him into
the Garden of Eden. He'll play.

498
00:29:19,358 --> 00:29:23,462
One linebacker ain't plugging this hole.
You're taking on water fast.

499
00:29:23,595 --> 00:29:25,932
Hey! He got blindsided just
like the rest of us, all right?

500
00:29:26,065 --> 00:29:28,334
There's no reason
to keep attacking him.

501
00:29:28,467 --> 00:29:30,236
Here's an idea.

502
00:29:30,369 --> 00:29:33,472
Lean on the sophomores and freshmen
who have something to lose.

503
00:29:33,605 --> 00:29:36,242
They won't want to risk
the eligibility over this.

504
00:29:37,143 --> 00:29:38,911
You'd love that,
wouldn't you, Wes?

505
00:29:39,045 --> 00:29:41,613
We all know I can't field
a competitive team

506
00:29:41,747 --> 00:29:44,483
with a bunch of 18-year-olds
that haven't played

507
00:29:44,616 --> 00:29:47,119
a meaningful snap
since high school.

508
00:29:47,253 --> 00:29:50,056
Fuck that. I'd rather not
field a team at all.

509
00:29:51,457 --> 00:29:53,759
I'm afraid that's not an option.

510
00:29:57,830 --> 00:30:00,833
We wouldn't need any options if
I could get with my quarterback

511
00:30:00,967 --> 00:30:04,003
instead of sitting around
this circle jerk.

512
00:30:06,205 --> 00:30:08,207
Thanks for coming, Coach.

513
00:30:08,340 --> 00:30:09,641
You bet.

514
00:30:10,776 --> 00:30:13,212
- Thanks for coming down.
- Don't lecture my guy.

515
00:30:13,345 --> 00:30:16,315
Thought you had your conference under
control, Everly. We got nothin'.

516
00:30:16,448 --> 00:30:19,185
- We got time.
- -Time is the one thing we don't have.

517
00:30:19,318 --> 00:30:21,687
We got a little bit.
We'll be fine.

518
00:30:28,827 --> 00:30:30,362
All right.
The Death Star awaits.

519
00:30:30,496 --> 00:30:32,498
The Cougars are staying
on the 17th floor.

520
00:30:32,631 --> 00:30:34,133
There's a stairway
around the back.

521
00:30:34,266 --> 00:30:35,946
Let's go get this done
and get out of here.

522
00:30:36,068 --> 00:30:38,004
Keep it running, Ned.
We'll be back in 20.

523
00:30:38,137 --> 00:30:40,172
Eat, nigga, eat!

524
00:30:40,306 --> 00:30:42,341
I'm nice. I'm nice.

525
00:30:42,474 --> 00:30:45,978
Watch this bucket
right here. Bucket!

526
00:30:46,112 --> 00:30:47,146
Hold on.

527
00:30:47,279 --> 00:30:48,981
Hey, don't fuckin' cheat.

528
00:30:51,083 --> 00:30:53,152
Hello, Roc.
Emmett Sunday, esquire.

529
00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:56,022
You may know me from such hits

530
00:30:56,155 --> 00:30:57,890
as Last Stand
at the Texas Stadium,

531
00:30:58,024 --> 00:30:59,935
Destruction at the Peach Bowl...
That's not funny.

532
00:30:59,959 --> 00:31:02,359
I'm number 82. Yeah, the tight end.
What the fuck do you want?

533
00:31:02,428 --> 00:31:04,530
The one and only. Mind if I
come in for a sec? Thanks.

534
00:31:04,663 --> 00:31:06,574
Hold on. You just gonna
walk in my room like that?

535
00:31:06,598 --> 00:31:08,610
Cecil, what's going on, man?
Emmett Sunday. How you doing?

536
00:31:08,634 --> 00:31:11,270
Just gonna turn on... Why you
turning on my light like that?

537
00:31:11,403 --> 00:31:14,373
- I'm just gonna turn off this TV.
- Yo, white boy.

538
00:31:14,506 --> 00:31:17,843
Chill out and let me know why the fuck
you in my room before I fight you.

539
00:31:17,977 --> 00:31:20,146
Cecil, you mind if I show
you something for a second?

540
00:31:20,279 --> 00:31:22,290
- It may help make my case.
- All right, man, go ahead.

541
00:31:22,314 --> 00:31:24,250
He's been replying
real quick. Hold on.

542
00:31:24,383 --> 00:31:26,552
Yeah, there you go. Hold on.

543
00:31:26,685 --> 00:31:28,587
Nah, nah, nah. This way first.

544
00:31:30,522 --> 00:31:33,225
Get the fuck out of here.
I ain't fucking with you.

545
00:31:33,359 --> 00:31:35,427
Yo, this is LeBron, nigga.
Look. That's LeBron.

546
00:31:35,561 --> 00:31:37,396
LeBron DM'd these fucks.
That's the king.

547
00:31:37,529 --> 00:31:39,431
Oh, shit! He just said
"What's up?" to you.

548
00:31:39,565 --> 00:31:41,033
Yeah, 'cause
he knows you're here.

549
00:31:41,167 --> 00:31:43,235
How the fuck you get
LeBron to DM you?

550
00:31:43,369 --> 00:31:45,104
We're buddies, man.
And I was thinking,

551
00:31:45,237 --> 00:31:47,206
Clutch just started a new
football division to rep,

552
00:31:47,339 --> 00:31:50,676
and I was thinking, hell, maybe I
just put in a good word for you two.

553
00:31:50,809 --> 00:31:54,380
Fly over to LA, the land of big
lips, fake tits, and sunshine.

554
00:31:54,513 --> 00:31:56,282
I love fake titties.
I know. Me too.

555
00:31:56,415 --> 00:31:58,826
And you sit down with LeBron and
Maverick and have a conversation.

556
00:31:58,850 --> 00:32:02,454
Grab lunch with LeBron in LA? You know I
love tacos, nigga. Hold on. How we do that?

557
00:32:02,588 --> 00:32:04,856
It's a little weird.
I need your phones.

558
00:32:04,991 --> 00:32:06,892
- My phone?
- I just need your phone.

559
00:32:08,860 --> 00:32:11,563
Fuck it. Hey, it's LeBron. Here.

560
00:32:11,697 --> 00:32:13,765
Come on, give him your phone.
Come on, Cecil.

561
00:32:13,899 --> 00:32:16,302
I ain't gonna do anything
weird with it. Come on.

562
00:32:16,435 --> 00:32:17,970
You can keep my phone
as collateral.

563
00:32:18,104 --> 00:32:20,639
Collateral and shit.
I'ma pocket this bitch.

564
00:32:20,772 --> 00:32:21,807
Don't move.

565
00:32:21,940 --> 00:32:24,410
Yeah. Yeah.

566
00:32:24,543 --> 00:32:26,778
- Bruh, LeBron.
- LeBron, though.

567
00:32:26,912 --> 00:32:28,514
What's happening, fellas?

568
00:32:29,481 --> 00:32:32,151
Surprise, surprise. Shit.

569
00:32:32,284 --> 00:32:35,454
- Not LeBron.
- So, what's up? I know y'all seen it.

570
00:32:35,587 --> 00:32:37,789
- Yeah, we seen it.
- What y'all think?

571
00:32:37,923 --> 00:32:39,825
Hoping y'all gonna join us.

572
00:32:40,959 --> 00:32:42,561
And skip out on the title game?

573
00:32:42,694 --> 00:32:43,962
Man, you out your fucking mind.

574
00:32:44,096 --> 00:32:46,032
- For real.
- Yeah, probably.

575
00:32:46,165 --> 00:32:48,376
It's gonna take a little crazy
to get it done though, ain't it?

576
00:32:48,400 --> 00:32:51,170
Yeah, but he's Kiper's
number one back.

577
00:32:51,303 --> 00:32:53,105
Going eighth to Baltimore
at the latest.

578
00:32:53,239 --> 00:32:55,307
He ain't risking that
fucking with y'all.

579
00:32:55,441 --> 00:32:57,409
Hmm. Buffalo should
take him at three.

580
00:32:57,543 --> 00:33:00,379
- They're going tackle.
- Maybe Miami gets smart and takes you at one.

581
00:33:00,512 --> 00:33:03,715
- Then where you gonna go?
- Me? Shit. CFL after this, probably.

582
00:33:05,584 --> 00:33:07,353
Yeah, Saskatchewan
or some shit like that.

583
00:33:07,486 --> 00:33:10,256
Saskatchewan? Listen.

584
00:33:10,389 --> 00:33:13,292
They're still gonna find a way to
play this game without me and Emmett.

585
00:33:14,493 --> 00:33:16,128
We gonna need you.

586
00:33:16,262 --> 00:33:18,464
The Haitian Hammer, running
wild on all those TV promos.

587
00:33:18,597 --> 00:33:21,437
Come watch him put up 500 yards in a
single game. Hell, I'd go to see it.

588
00:33:21,533 --> 00:33:23,135
Yeah, maybe then he goes
number one.

589
00:33:23,269 --> 00:33:25,371
But if he sits, they gonna
Kaepernick him like you.

590
00:33:25,504 --> 00:33:28,040
Hmm. Come on, bruh. You might
fall out the first round.

591
00:33:28,174 --> 00:33:30,476
Do y'all even know what the
rookie minimum is down there?

592
00:33:30,609 --> 00:33:33,979
Probably not, but they taking backs
in the third or fourth round nowadays.

593
00:33:34,113 --> 00:33:35,657
Four years and done,
we're back in the hood.

594
00:33:35,681 --> 00:33:38,450
That is why we gotta stick
together on this, fellas.

595
00:33:38,584 --> 00:33:40,486
Think about it.

596
00:33:40,619 --> 00:33:42,154
If we all sit,
what are they gonna do?

597
00:33:42,288 --> 00:33:45,391
Hmm? It's called
collective action.

598
00:33:45,524 --> 00:33:47,659
Fuck you learn
a big word like that?

599
00:33:48,727 --> 00:33:50,162
Intro to Organized Labor.

600
00:33:50,296 --> 00:33:53,365
A class?
He talking 'bout a class.

601
00:33:53,499 --> 00:33:56,902
Only class you probably took was
Intro to Organized Dick-sucking.

602
00:33:57,035 --> 00:33:59,538
- Flap your gums 'cause you're scared.
- Scared of what? You?

603
00:33:59,671 --> 00:34:01,616
Scared you're gonna be teaching
high-school PE next year.

604
00:34:01,640 --> 00:34:03,051
I know this is my last game,
same as you.

605
00:34:03,075 --> 00:34:05,010
Fuck you.
I'm playing in the League.

606
00:34:05,144 --> 00:34:07,579
Hey, look, we ain't come
here for all that, all right?

607
00:34:07,713 --> 00:34:10,015
Look, me and E are serious
about this.

608
00:34:11,550 --> 00:34:14,186
We just came here
to let y'all know.

609
00:34:14,320 --> 00:34:16,888
Sleep on it. Pray on it.

610
00:34:17,022 --> 00:34:19,425
- Look, I appreciate y'all.
- Yeah. All right, yeah.

611
00:34:19,558 --> 00:34:21,460
All right.

612
00:34:21,593 --> 00:34:24,730
No hard feelings.
Yeah, no hard feelings.

613
00:34:24,863 --> 00:34:26,898
Collective action.

614
00:34:27,032 --> 00:34:30,702
Man, I hope we get to play those guys.
Go ahead, Ned.

615
00:34:30,836 --> 00:34:33,539
If we don't get Cecil on board,
we're gonna need the whole squad,

616
00:34:33,672 --> 00:34:35,040
or we ain't playing shit.

617
00:34:35,174 --> 00:34:37,409
We get the younger guys,
Orlando will come too.

618
00:34:38,844 --> 00:34:40,679
Hey, get Bob Reynolds a note.

619
00:34:40,812 --> 00:34:43,048
Tell him we'll give him
the exclusive.

620
00:34:43,182 --> 00:34:44,583
Copy that.

621
00:34:49,721 --> 00:34:52,057
Wonder how many of these
we've gone through already.

622
00:34:59,398 --> 00:35:01,099
We don't want nobody to know.

623
00:35:01,233 --> 00:35:02,877
The press or anybody. We
don't even know that he sits.

624
00:35:02,901 --> 00:35:04,703
Okay? Make sure
you keep them out.

625
00:35:32,130 --> 00:35:35,133
We all present and accounted
for, Scotty? Yes, sir.

626
00:35:36,902 --> 00:35:39,405
LeMarcus James, for those
of you who are not familiar,

627
00:35:39,538 --> 00:35:41,173
won the Heisman Trophy
this year.

628
00:35:41,307 --> 00:35:43,575
Most famous player
in college football.

629
00:35:43,709 --> 00:35:45,744
Picture's 130 feet tall
across the street,

630
00:35:45,877 --> 00:35:48,357
and now you're telling me, what,
he's the fucking Invisible Man?

631
00:35:48,447 --> 00:35:50,516
We're working
with hotel security, Coach.

632
00:35:50,649 --> 00:35:53,249
They went out a fire exit without a camera.
That's how we lost 'em.

633
00:35:53,352 --> 00:35:56,154
Well, the media found him,
didn't they?

634
00:35:56,288 --> 00:35:58,457
I don't know. Maybe I should
ask LeBron James for help

635
00:35:58,590 --> 00:36:00,659
instead of you
simple snowflakes,

636
00:36:00,792 --> 00:36:03,862
who I feed, clothe
and pay six figures a year.

637
00:36:03,995 --> 00:36:05,864
Or get a free
top-tier education.

638
00:36:05,997 --> 00:36:08,133
This is a fucking manhunt.

639
00:36:08,267 --> 00:36:10,636
Find me LeMarcus James
and Emmett Sunday,

640
00:36:10,769 --> 00:36:12,938
or I swear to God,

641
00:36:13,071 --> 00:36:16,375
the next coaching job any of you
get within shitting distance of

642
00:36:16,508 --> 00:36:20,312
is gonna be JV at the fucking
Little Sisters of the Poor.

643
00:36:21,747 --> 00:36:24,383
Go! Get out there!
Go fucking find him, now!

644
00:36:24,516 --> 00:36:26,652
We'll find him, Coach.
Goddamn it.

645
00:36:30,121 --> 00:36:31,890
Goddamn.

646
00:36:34,960 --> 00:36:36,762
Come on, fellas. Eat up.

647
00:36:39,164 --> 00:36:42,000
Y'all can hate me all you want.

648
00:36:42,133 --> 00:36:44,470
I ain't the one
y'all should be hatin'.

649
00:36:44,603 --> 00:36:47,673
Ain't me cashing out on
millions of dollars a year

650
00:36:47,806 --> 00:36:50,676
while y'all can't pay rent,
can't put gas in y'all whips.

651
00:36:50,809 --> 00:36:52,844
If you even have a whip.

652
00:36:52,978 --> 00:36:55,046
For 55 years,

653
00:36:55,180 --> 00:36:58,417
guys like you ate, drank,
fucked and played ball.

654
00:36:58,550 --> 00:37:00,686
We're just happy with
a free education, right?

655
00:37:00,819 --> 00:37:03,088
Nice free suit? That shit'll
keep us happy, right?

656
00:37:03,221 --> 00:37:05,391
They know how to get us.
But not no more, okay?

657
00:37:05,524 --> 00:37:07,726
This shit is capitalism
at its finest.

658
00:37:07,859 --> 00:37:09,428
Greed at its worst.

659
00:37:09,561 --> 00:37:12,764
Everybody around us got
private jets and private chefs,

660
00:37:12,898 --> 00:37:15,501
and we can't even accept a
fucking free meal as a gift.

661
00:37:15,634 --> 00:37:17,754
Yeah. Yeah, that's right.
That pizza slice right there,

662
00:37:17,869 --> 00:37:19,571
double fistin' with them shits,

663
00:37:19,705 --> 00:37:22,073
that kid kicked out
of college twice. Shit.

664
00:37:22,207 --> 00:37:25,444
And we out there every single day.
Blood, sweat and tears.

665
00:37:25,577 --> 00:37:27,045
You remember
your ankle, bro? Hmm?

666
00:37:27,178 --> 00:37:28,947
Remember when it swole up
like a watermelon?

667
00:37:29,080 --> 00:37:31,750
They shot you up, and they made
you play, didn't they? Huh?

668
00:37:31,883 --> 00:37:34,152
Think about how that shit gonna
make you feel in 30 years.

669
00:37:34,286 --> 00:37:36,322
You ain't got no medical.
You got insurance?

670
00:37:36,455 --> 00:37:38,824
What you gonna fix your broken
body with, huh? Duct tape?

671
00:37:38,957 --> 00:37:41,068
Gorilla Glue the shits back together?
What we gonna do?

672
00:37:41,092 --> 00:37:42,870
That's how y'all got to be
thinking about this.

673
00:37:42,894 --> 00:37:44,539
Where do we want to be
in 30 years from now?

674
00:37:44,563 --> 00:37:47,198
It starts right now.
It starts right here.

675
00:37:51,737 --> 00:37:53,104
Who bought all this Pizza Hut?

676
00:37:57,242 --> 00:37:59,177
Look,
I'll be the first to say it.

677
00:37:59,311 --> 00:38:01,747
Lazor's taught me a lot
about more than just football.

678
00:38:01,880 --> 00:38:04,650
But what I began to realize
is I was being brainwashed,

679
00:38:04,783 --> 00:38:06,652
just like all of y'all.

680
00:38:06,785 --> 00:38:09,621
Scared of speaking up because it
was easy to go along to get along.

681
00:38:09,755 --> 00:38:11,915
Don't let them tell you there
ain't enough to go around.

682
00:38:11,957 --> 00:38:14,597
They got so much money, they don't
even know where to put the shits.

683
00:38:14,626 --> 00:38:16,094
Y'all okay with that?

684
00:38:16,227 --> 00:38:18,229
All right. You okay with that?

685
00:38:18,364 --> 00:38:21,299
Guys, don't think
this isn't a two-way street.

686
00:38:21,433 --> 00:38:23,335
Where do you green fucks

687
00:38:23,469 --> 00:38:27,272
think you're transferring to
if I bury your ass on the pine?

688
00:38:27,406 --> 00:38:29,941
I own your future.

689
00:38:30,075 --> 00:38:33,612
Where the hell is LeMarcus?

690
00:38:33,745 --> 00:38:35,681
Let's be real.

691
00:38:35,814 --> 00:38:38,149
There are 12,500
draft-eligible players

692
00:38:38,283 --> 00:38:40,552
for the NFL every single year,

693
00:38:40,686 --> 00:38:42,588
and only 300 of us get drafted.

694
00:38:42,721 --> 00:38:44,990
That means over 12,000 of us

695
00:38:45,123 --> 00:38:47,359
participate in a
multi-billion- dollar industry

696
00:38:47,493 --> 00:38:49,093
that won't even give us
health insurance.

697
00:38:49,127 --> 00:38:51,630
And yet, they selling us
the pearly gates?

698
00:38:51,763 --> 00:38:53,632
Zed, you got a resume?

699
00:38:53,765 --> 00:38:55,767
Internship? Why not?

700
00:38:55,901 --> 00:38:58,179
'Cause you been playing D-I football
for the last three years, right?

701
00:38:58,203 --> 00:38:59,905
That's right.
And they make you work it

702
00:39:00,038 --> 00:39:02,641
like it's a full-time job,
don't they? That's right.

703
00:39:02,774 --> 00:39:05,653
What about all those bullshit classes they
make you take to stay on the field, huh?

704
00:39:05,677 --> 00:39:07,846
Hey, you remember the Swahili
shit y'all was taking?

705
00:39:07,979 --> 00:39:11,049
Swahili? How do you say, "Do you
want fries with that?" in Swahili?

706
00:39:11,182 --> 00:39:14,219
Guess what, fellas. When y'all
get out there in the real world,

707
00:39:14,352 --> 00:39:16,187
out there in the jungle,

708
00:39:16,321 --> 00:39:17,989
it ain't no fun
when you broke as a joke.

709
00:39:18,123 --> 00:39:20,659
Tell us where he's at.
I'm taking it back.

710
00:39:20,792 --> 00:39:23,695
He at the W,
stayin' under a fake name.

711
00:39:23,829 --> 00:39:25,531
Okay.

712
00:39:25,664 --> 00:39:27,332
Barack Gambino.

713
00:39:27,466 --> 00:39:30,101
Barack Gambino, man? Seriously?

714
00:39:30,235 --> 00:39:31,537
Bank it.

715
00:39:33,405 --> 00:39:36,074
And even if it means the
death of me, y'all can say,

716
00:39:36,207 --> 00:39:40,245
"I got caught up with that crazy
motherfucker and his dreams of glory."

717
00:39:40,378 --> 00:39:42,380
And if I can do it,
then we can do it,

718
00:39:42,514 --> 00:39:45,383
and we could set ourselves up
and future generations to come.

719
00:39:45,517 --> 00:39:47,318
Tell 'em about the barn, LJ.

720
00:39:47,453 --> 00:39:49,921
'Cause there is a barn in
Galilee with grain filled so high

721
00:39:50,055 --> 00:39:51,557
that they won't even
sell it all.

722
00:39:51,690 --> 00:39:54,159
And you know what God says?
He says, "You poor fools."

723
00:39:54,292 --> 00:39:57,362
You may think that you're rich, but
you are poor in the eyes of God."

724
00:39:57,496 --> 00:40:00,966
Why? Because my people are
hungry, and your barn is full.

725
00:40:01,099 --> 00:40:03,735
- Make it plain!
- There is a barn in Galilee

726
00:40:03,869 --> 00:40:06,204
filled with grain,
and we out here starving.

727
00:40:06,337 --> 00:40:08,073
God is with us.

728
00:40:08,206 --> 00:40:11,577
He says there is nothing to lose.
There is nothing to fear.

729
00:40:11,710 --> 00:40:15,547
I am here, and there is
nothing to fear!

730
00:40:34,299 --> 00:40:36,067
Boo.

731
00:40:36,902 --> 00:40:38,236
Boo.

732
00:40:47,613 --> 00:40:49,080
Come with me.

733
00:40:51,082 --> 00:40:53,118
I plan to, baby.

734
00:40:55,353 --> 00:40:57,155
I mean it.

735
00:40:58,524 --> 00:40:59,991
Start a new chapter.

736
00:41:03,428 --> 00:41:05,631
You really want me there?

737
00:41:07,398 --> 00:41:08,466
I do.

738
00:41:10,168 --> 00:41:11,503
Really?

739
00:41:18,577 --> 00:41:21,980
♫ Beneath the burning sun ♫

740
00:41:22,113 --> 00:41:25,116
♫ Under the sailor's moon ♫

741
00:41:25,250 --> 00:41:28,286
♫ In the rain And in the snow ♫

742
00:41:28,419 --> 00:41:31,990
♫ On the field we run ♫

743
00:41:32,123 --> 00:41:35,326
♫ On the field We run together ♫

744
00:41:35,460 --> 00:41:38,530
♫ We run together
We win together ♫

745
00:41:38,664 --> 00:41:41,867
♫ We are the Wolves ♫

746
00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:44,469
♫ We are the pack... ♫

747
00:41:48,707 --> 00:41:50,842
Give it up for French Montana!

748
00:41:52,477 --> 00:41:55,146
You like that?
You like that, baby?

749
00:41:55,280 --> 00:41:56,481
That was for y'all.

750
00:42:00,786 --> 00:42:02,854
Keep 'em coming. You got it.

751
00:42:02,988 --> 00:42:05,190
Hey, what's your hurry?

752
00:42:06,692 --> 00:42:09,160
Rodger. Brett.

753
00:42:09,294 --> 00:42:12,163
I've been head of
the booster club since '98.

754
00:42:12,297 --> 00:42:15,066
You ever seen
a national title game

755
00:42:15,200 --> 00:42:17,435
in your own luxury box, Brett?

756
00:42:17,569 --> 00:42:18,937
No.

757
00:42:19,070 --> 00:42:23,041
Lobster, filet mignon, blow.

758
00:42:23,174 --> 00:42:25,343
Whatever your heart desires.

759
00:42:25,476 --> 00:42:26,745
It sounds awesome.

760
00:42:26,878 --> 00:42:30,515
You wanna come with?
I can get you a ticket.

761
00:42:30,649 --> 00:42:32,718
Are they even gonna play?

762
00:42:32,851 --> 00:42:37,055
Oh, they'll play. Don't you worry
your pretty little head about that.

763
00:42:37,188 --> 00:42:40,959
Gonna find me my quarterback,
and it'll be Easy Street.

764
00:42:43,261 --> 00:42:45,030
Five hundred dollars.

765
00:42:45,163 --> 00:42:47,098
And what does that
get me, Brett?

766
00:42:47,232 --> 00:42:49,234
A room number.

767
00:42:49,367 --> 00:42:51,136
What time do you get off?

768
00:42:51,269 --> 00:42:53,271
Not mine.

769
00:42:59,310 --> 00:43:01,579
LeMarcus. Emmett.

770
00:43:02,981 --> 00:43:04,916
It's Rodger and Taylor. Open up.

771
00:43:07,052 --> 00:43:08,987
I guess we have
to get another room again.

772
00:43:09,120 --> 00:43:10,756
Hey!

773
00:43:10,889 --> 00:43:13,391
Just go get it before they
wake up the whole hotel, man.

774
00:43:16,527 --> 00:43:17,929
Shut up and get inside.

775
00:43:18,063 --> 00:43:20,265
Easy, big fella.
We come in peace.

776
00:43:22,533 --> 00:43:23,935
How the hell did you find us?

777
00:43:24,069 --> 00:43:26,204
- A happy accident.
- What do you want?

778
00:43:26,337 --> 00:43:27,806
Just to talk, that's it.

779
00:43:27,939 --> 00:43:29,741
One minute, and then we're gone.

780
00:43:29,875 --> 00:43:33,044
Hey, you look like hell.
You okay?

781
00:43:33,178 --> 00:43:34,780
We're owed.

782
00:43:36,347 --> 00:43:38,249
You are owed?

783
00:43:38,383 --> 00:43:40,585
Yes. We're owed.

784
00:43:40,719 --> 00:43:44,522
Taylor. What I think my associate
is trying to communicate here

785
00:43:44,656 --> 00:43:45,991
is that we're hurtin'.

786
00:43:46,124 --> 00:43:49,160
We feel like
we're invested here,

787
00:43:49,294 --> 00:43:51,863
especially after all
we've been through together.

788
00:43:51,997 --> 00:43:54,666
Because you loaned me a car?

789
00:43:54,800 --> 00:43:56,601
And helped refinance
your mother's mortgage

790
00:43:56,735 --> 00:43:58,970
when she fell behind,
and also with your brother.

791
00:43:59,104 --> 00:44:02,741
- Should we talk about the message...
- Don't... say another word.

792
00:44:05,243 --> 00:44:06,812
And don't do this.

793
00:44:06,945 --> 00:44:08,814
You don't give a shit about us.

794
00:44:08,947 --> 00:44:12,317
- All you give a shit about is your damn game.
- Now, now, now, Taylor.

795
00:44:14,786 --> 00:44:17,322
LeMarcus, what...
What's going on here?

796
00:44:17,455 --> 00:44:19,190
Me and you are buddies.

797
00:44:19,324 --> 00:44:21,192
You love playing football.

798
00:44:21,326 --> 00:44:23,361
Hell, I love watching you
play football.

799
00:44:23,494 --> 00:44:26,664
An entire college campus,
40,000 kids,

800
00:44:26,798 --> 00:44:28,934
thinks that you're
Jesus Christ incarnate.

801
00:44:29,067 --> 00:44:32,170
What's going on? You need money?

802
00:44:33,171 --> 00:44:35,206
Just tell me
where to send the check.

803
00:44:36,742 --> 00:44:38,509
What the fuck don't you get?

804
00:44:42,447 --> 00:44:43,882
You ever read The Jungle?

805
00:44:44,015 --> 00:44:46,084
What has that got to do
with anything, LeMarcus?

806
00:44:46,217 --> 00:44:47,819
The American Dream.

807
00:44:49,387 --> 00:44:51,723
This guy Jurgis from Lithuania,

808
00:44:51,857 --> 00:44:54,092
he worked at the meat-packing
plant in Chicago.

809
00:44:54,225 --> 00:44:56,127
Now, Jurgis was young,

810
00:44:56,261 --> 00:44:58,163
he was bigger, stronger
than the rest of 'em.

811
00:44:58,296 --> 00:45:00,198
So they put him
to work in the kill beds.

812
00:45:00,331 --> 00:45:02,834
He worked so hard, he
couldn't bend his fingers.

813
00:45:02,968 --> 00:45:06,071
He couldn't flex his knees,
broke his ankle.

814
00:45:06,204 --> 00:45:08,673
After all those years,
he just kept on working,

815
00:45:08,807 --> 00:45:11,009
and he loved it.

816
00:45:11,142 --> 00:45:14,880
See, that didn't mean shit to the guys
who owned the plant though, did it?

817
00:45:15,013 --> 00:45:18,483
'Cause they weren't about to
take care of no broke immigrant.

818
00:45:19,550 --> 00:45:23,054
LeMarcus... You ain't that guy.

819
00:45:23,188 --> 00:45:25,924
You're about to be
the number one pick

820
00:45:26,057 --> 00:45:28,259
in the first round
of the NFL draft,

821
00:45:28,393 --> 00:45:31,830
-and Miami is gonna pay you $35 million...
- Yeah, I know.

822
00:45:31,963 --> 00:45:33,698
That's a whole lot of meat.

823
00:45:33,832 --> 00:45:36,868
What about the guys who
ain't going into the League?

824
00:45:37,002 --> 00:45:39,737
The guys who busted their head in
the dirt for the last four years,

825
00:45:39,871 --> 00:45:42,273
only to wind up mangled and broke?
What about them, huh?

826
00:45:42,407 --> 00:45:45,610
- So this whole thing's about you?
- It's about everyone, man.

827
00:45:45,743 --> 00:45:47,946
What the fuck do you think
you're gonna do?

828
00:45:48,079 --> 00:45:50,548
You can't square off
with the entire system.

829
00:45:50,681 --> 00:45:53,418
You two cannot unionize college
sports, and that's a fact.

830
00:45:54,853 --> 00:45:56,788
- It ain't two.
- What?

831
00:45:56,922 --> 00:45:59,224
It ain't just two of us no more,

832
00:45:59,357 --> 00:46:00,758
and that's a fact.

833
00:46:11,236 --> 00:46:13,571
We have to
dismantle the structure

834
00:46:13,704 --> 00:46:15,273
and do something
that's more equitable,

835
00:46:15,406 --> 00:46:16,975
that's fairer
for these athletes.

836
00:46:17,108 --> 00:46:18,810
I've got teammates that I played

837
00:46:18,944 --> 00:46:20,912
collegiate ball with
at Ohio State

838
00:46:21,046 --> 00:46:22,747
that suffered some
career-ending injuries,

839
00:46:22,881 --> 00:46:24,983
some life-altering injuries,

840
00:46:25,116 --> 00:46:27,318
that struggle
and still struggle today

841
00:46:27,452 --> 00:46:30,088
without any support
from the university.

842
00:46:30,221 --> 00:46:31,789
It's very frustrating.

843
00:46:31,923 --> 00:46:33,658
So I'm proud to stand behind

844
00:46:33,791 --> 00:46:35,793
LeMarcus James
and what he's doing.

845
00:46:35,927 --> 00:46:38,563
Wilson, what do you think of the
situation with LeMarcus James?

846
00:46:38,696 --> 00:46:40,999
Listen, Greeny, I'm really
impressed by LeMarcus James.

847
00:46:41,132 --> 00:46:43,301
This guy's given up
possibly $35 million,

848
00:46:43,434 --> 00:46:45,170
maybe the first pick overall.

849
00:46:45,303 --> 00:46:47,438
The reality is,
he's got so much to lose

850
00:46:47,572 --> 00:46:49,274
but really so much to gain.

851
00:46:49,407 --> 00:46:51,709
And I think that you and I
both know, Greeny,

852
00:46:51,843 --> 00:46:54,112
that this whole system's broke,
and we got to fix it.

853
00:46:54,245 --> 00:46:56,281
It's got to get fixed
immediately.

854
00:46:56,414 --> 00:46:58,984
There you have it.
Directly from one of the great quarterbacks

855
00:46:59,117 --> 00:47:01,419
in the history of the NFL,
Russell Wilson.

856
00:47:01,552 --> 00:47:04,355
He won the Walter Payton Man
of the Year award in 2020.

857
00:47:04,489 --> 00:47:06,868
Russell, thank you. Always a
pleasure, Greeny. I'll see you soon.

858
00:47:06,892 --> 00:47:10,128
In the meantime, we've got
other news to talk about...

859
00:47:11,562 --> 00:47:13,198
I understand.

860
00:47:15,967 --> 00:47:18,036
Yeah, we all know
what's at stake here.

861
00:47:19,537 --> 00:47:21,873
I will get him into this game.

862
00:47:22,007 --> 00:47:24,375
You have my personal guarantee.

863
00:47:24,509 --> 00:47:25,843
Of course.

864
00:47:25,977 --> 00:47:27,845
Well, thank you...
Yeah, he hung up on me.

865
00:47:31,016 --> 00:47:33,351
You're up early. What, do
you sleep in that power suit?

866
00:47:33,484 --> 00:47:35,353
I might as well
at this point, right?

867
00:47:36,454 --> 00:47:38,489
Pressure from the overlords?

868
00:47:38,623 --> 00:47:41,292
I'd say my very early
retirement is being discussed

869
00:47:41,426 --> 00:47:43,661
unless I change the optics,
and quick.

870
00:47:43,794 --> 00:47:46,231
And if I go,
so goes your retainer.

871
00:47:46,364 --> 00:47:49,034
We can't let
that happen, now, can we?

872
00:47:51,002 --> 00:47:52,503
We offer talks.

873
00:47:53,571 --> 00:47:55,006
We hear their demands.

874
00:47:55,140 --> 00:47:57,742
We promise a committee to explore.
No.

875
00:48:01,746 --> 00:48:04,049
They've got 40 players now.

876
00:48:04,182 --> 00:48:07,185
I heard.
They think they can win this.

877
00:48:07,318 --> 00:48:10,221
If we offer talks, then they will
never leave the table empty-handed.

878
00:48:10,355 --> 00:48:12,523
They're kids. Exactly.

879
00:48:12,657 --> 00:48:15,593
They haven't lost enough to believe
that that's the most likely outcome.

880
00:48:15,726 --> 00:48:19,564
They don't understand
that life is about losing.

881
00:48:20,831 --> 00:48:22,400
I pay you for options.
What are they?

882
00:48:22,533 --> 00:48:24,369
Well, I can only see two.

883
00:48:24,502 --> 00:48:26,437
You either give them
what they want...

884
00:48:26,571 --> 00:48:28,373
Second option?

885
00:48:28,506 --> 00:48:30,875
We savage them.

886
00:48:33,678 --> 00:48:37,048
You find everything...
Every grain, every person.

887
00:48:37,182 --> 00:48:41,586
You turn LeMarcus James into a
monster that no one could follow.

888
00:48:43,221 --> 00:48:45,423
LeMarcus decided to do this.

889
00:48:45,556 --> 00:48:47,959
He waded into your waters.

890
00:48:48,093 --> 00:48:50,328
We have to react.

891
00:48:52,697 --> 00:48:56,001
Unfortunately, I don't have
the luxury to react, Ms. Poe.

892
00:48:59,037 --> 00:49:00,505
But you do.

893
00:49:11,916 --> 00:49:13,418
It's started.

894
00:49:14,619 --> 00:49:16,054
What?

895
00:49:16,187 --> 00:49:18,056
They got their hounds loose.

896
00:49:21,993 --> 00:49:24,329
And you know
they're gonna dig up more.

897
00:49:26,231 --> 00:49:28,799
LJ! LJ! LJ! LJ! LJ!

898
00:49:33,671 --> 00:49:35,806
We're gonna have to move again.

899
00:49:37,708 --> 00:49:38,843
No more running.

900
00:49:40,911 --> 00:49:42,280
Let 'em come.

901
00:49:44,149 --> 00:49:46,584
Luke? Yes, every player.

902
00:49:46,717 --> 00:49:48,286
I don't care. Luke!

903
00:49:48,419 --> 00:49:51,456
On the goddamn roof, for all I care.
Thirty minutes.

904
00:49:51,589 --> 00:49:54,225
Bailey, have you seen Luke?

905
00:49:54,359 --> 00:49:56,327
I got nine players

906
00:49:56,461 --> 00:49:59,497
and the cabal
of fucking idiocy around me.

907
00:49:59,630 --> 00:50:02,233
I sent him to the store
for McConnell's ice cream.

908
00:50:02,367 --> 00:50:04,502
Baby, you can't
be doing that now.

909
00:50:04,635 --> 00:50:07,072
This is fucking serious!
LeMarcus...

910
00:50:07,205 --> 00:50:08,973
Goddamn it!
You know what hurts the most?

911
00:50:09,107 --> 00:50:11,609
He never came to me
with any of this,

912
00:50:11,742 --> 00:50:13,944
after everything
we've been through together.

913
00:50:21,286 --> 00:50:22,687
Are you...

914
00:50:22,820 --> 00:50:26,191
Jesus fucking Christ.
Are you fucking kidding me?

915
00:50:27,024 --> 00:50:28,326
Now?

916
00:50:28,459 --> 00:50:30,595
I got a full-on rebellion
in my locker room,

917
00:50:30,728 --> 00:50:33,831
I got the head of the NCAA
and both conferences up my ass

918
00:50:33,964 --> 00:50:36,934
at the national fucking
title game...

919
00:50:37,068 --> 00:50:40,138
Now? You're gonna... Coach,
we talked about this.

920
00:50:40,271 --> 00:50:44,175
How can I say this again
in a way that you can get it?

921
00:50:44,309 --> 00:50:46,511
I need to find myself again.

922
00:50:46,644 --> 00:50:49,180
I need some me time.
Not you time. Me time.

923
00:50:49,314 --> 00:50:51,549
Goddamn, you fuckin' selfish...

924
00:50:51,682 --> 00:50:54,852
Wow! Finish it. Finish it.

925
00:50:54,985 --> 00:50:57,188
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

926
00:50:57,322 --> 00:50:58,623
I'm sorry.

927
00:50:58,756 --> 00:51:00,356
I know the sacrifices
you've made for me.

928
00:51:00,391 --> 00:51:03,394
Of course I do. But please...

929
00:51:13,204 --> 00:51:15,540
Okay, which place do you
want me to stay away from?

930
00:51:15,673 --> 00:51:17,675
Where are you going?
The beach house?

931
00:51:19,043 --> 00:51:20,411
I'm going to Rome.

932
00:51:20,545 --> 00:51:21,912
Rome?

933
00:51:23,648 --> 00:51:25,683
Okay, I can stay away from Rome.

934
00:51:34,292 --> 00:51:36,461
You're not going
to Rome alone, are you?

935
00:51:37,228 --> 00:51:38,229
Question:

936
00:51:38,363 --> 00:51:40,398
If I hadn't stayed here

937
00:51:40,531 --> 00:51:42,367
to explain to you
that I was leaving,

938
00:51:42,500 --> 00:51:44,202
would you have noticed I'd gone?

939
00:51:44,335 --> 00:51:46,137
I know. I get it. I get it.
All I wanna know...

940
00:51:46,271 --> 00:51:49,240
Look. It's this fucking job.

941
00:51:49,374 --> 00:51:50,775
Oh, God.

942
00:51:50,908 --> 00:51:54,078
I swear to God,
I will make it up to you.

943
00:51:54,212 --> 00:51:56,281
Okay? Please.

944
00:51:56,414 --> 00:51:58,916
I swear to God,
I'm gonna make this up to you.

945
00:51:59,049 --> 00:52:00,185
It's just... James...

946
00:52:00,318 --> 00:52:02,687
We just got
to get past this game.

947
00:52:02,820 --> 00:52:03,821
Please.

948
00:52:03,954 --> 00:52:05,290
James...

949
00:52:05,423 --> 00:52:08,193
Baby, I need you here
with me now, please.

950
00:52:34,519 --> 00:52:38,022
Oh, um... You want Coach.
He's in the back.

951
00:52:38,155 --> 00:52:39,857
Can you... please?

952
00:52:39,990 --> 00:52:42,150
Yeah, sure, sure. Sure. Thank you.
Excuse me. I'm sorry.

953
00:52:43,027 --> 00:52:44,829
Good to meet you.

954
00:52:48,899 --> 00:52:50,335
Coach?

955
00:52:54,239 --> 00:52:55,673
Coach Lazor?

956
00:53:03,147 --> 00:53:05,149
Morning, Coach.
Uh, Katherine Poe.

957
00:53:05,283 --> 00:53:06,484
We met earlier?

958
00:53:06,617 --> 00:53:08,519
Is now okay, sir?

959
00:53:08,653 --> 00:53:10,421
It's kind of urgent.

960
00:53:20,531 --> 00:53:22,066
Everything all right?

961
00:53:23,033 --> 00:53:25,736
Well, if there's
anything I can do...

962
00:53:25,870 --> 00:53:28,806
Just... What do you want?

963
00:53:28,939 --> 00:53:31,276
You have a rebellion
on your hands, sir.

964
00:53:31,409 --> 00:53:33,711
What exactly do you do?

965
00:53:33,844 --> 00:53:36,381
- You're with the NCAA?
- I'm not. I'm outside counsel.

966
00:53:36,514 --> 00:53:38,283
And your name again? Katherine.

967
00:53:38,416 --> 00:53:41,185
Katherine, would you mind just
fucking off back to your C-suite?

968
00:53:47,692 --> 00:53:51,762
This is a private physical
LeMarcus had.

969
00:53:52,963 --> 00:53:57,234
It's from July
for an insurance policy.

970
00:53:59,404 --> 00:54:01,005
How did you get that?

971
00:54:01,138 --> 00:54:05,209
It's a firm specializing
in medical data acquisition.

972
00:54:06,577 --> 00:54:11,582
And this is an MRI
of LeMarcus' left knee,

973
00:54:11,716 --> 00:54:14,785
which, unfortunately,
has no cartilage.

974
00:54:17,522 --> 00:54:19,624
He's been hiding it
for five months.

975
00:54:22,493 --> 00:54:24,862
His body is a ticking time bomb.

976
00:54:24,995 --> 00:54:27,898
It's only a matter of time before
that knee gives out on him.

977
00:54:28,032 --> 00:54:30,701
He is never going to be
the number one pick,

978
00:54:30,835 --> 00:54:33,270
not after the combine
and a physical.

979
00:54:33,404 --> 00:54:35,172
He'll be lucky
if he got to go day two,

980
00:54:35,306 --> 00:54:36,974
and he's known that
for some time.

981
00:54:37,107 --> 00:54:39,810
I have seen nothing to indicate
he's got a bad knee.

982
00:54:39,944 --> 00:54:43,581
He's 21. He could eat gunpowder
and then go run a marathon.

983
00:54:43,714 --> 00:54:45,483
Now, look.

984
00:54:46,717 --> 00:54:49,420
It's best
if this comes from you.

985
00:54:50,855 --> 00:54:53,958
How disappointed you were to
learn that he's been hiding this.

986
00:54:54,091 --> 00:54:58,329
Maybe, in retrospect, you did
notice the limp during practice.

987
00:54:58,463 --> 00:55:00,598
What exactly are you saying?

988
00:55:00,731 --> 00:55:03,851
Five months ago, LeMarcus figured out he
is not going to be the number one pick,

989
00:55:03,934 --> 00:55:06,804
and he is trying to cash in
now before the teller...

990
00:55:06,937 --> 00:55:09,149
That is bullshit. Yes, sir.
Before the teller window closes.

991
00:55:09,173 --> 00:55:11,676
LeMarcus would never...
This is a shakedown, sir!

992
00:55:11,809 --> 00:55:13,944
Pure and simple.

993
00:55:14,078 --> 00:55:16,146
He is trying
to recoup his losses,

994
00:55:16,280 --> 00:55:18,115
and he is going
to take everything

995
00:55:18,248 --> 00:55:21,285
that you and your players
have worked for.

996
00:55:23,320 --> 00:55:25,956
Let me ask you, sir,
how does a D-III quarterback

997
00:55:26,090 --> 00:55:29,293
with a noodle for an arm who
runs a five-flat 40 time,

998
00:55:29,427 --> 00:55:31,762
how does a guy like that
become the head coach

999
00:55:31,896 --> 00:55:33,831
of not one but two
D-I powerhouses?

1000
00:55:33,964 --> 00:55:36,467
Because that guy is a winner.

1001
00:55:37,435 --> 00:55:38,903
And this is your time

1002
00:55:39,036 --> 00:55:41,071
to finally capture
that national title.

1003
00:55:41,205 --> 00:55:45,242
Do not let LeMarcus
rob you of your legacy.

1004
00:55:47,177 --> 00:55:51,148
Now, we will leak this
to the smaller sites.

1005
00:55:51,281 --> 00:55:53,851
You will do a presser
for the networks,

1006
00:55:53,984 --> 00:55:56,654
and the aggregators
will take it from there.

1007
00:55:59,924 --> 00:56:01,492
I, um...

1008
00:56:01,626 --> 00:56:03,661
I have some remarks.

1009
00:56:03,794 --> 00:56:05,594
If you want to take a look at...
No, thank you.

1010
00:56:05,630 --> 00:56:08,833
I don't need
your fucking remarks.

1011
00:56:10,401 --> 00:56:12,336
This is my football team.

1012
00:56:13,638 --> 00:56:16,441
They will play for me. Coach...

1013
00:56:17,675 --> 00:56:18,776
wake up,

1014
00:56:19,844 --> 00:56:22,246
before you don't
even have a team.

1015
00:56:55,713 --> 00:56:57,582
I know right now...

1016
00:56:59,850 --> 00:57:02,520
you think life is always
gonna be like this.

1017
00:57:05,255 --> 00:57:07,357
You're at the center
of everything.

1018
00:57:09,894 --> 00:57:11,228
Alive.

1019
00:57:14,131 --> 00:57:15,566
And greatness

1020
00:57:16,734 --> 00:57:18,503
is right there,

1021
00:57:18,636 --> 00:57:20,170
within reach.

1022
00:57:25,510 --> 00:57:27,077
But that's not true.

1023
00:57:29,013 --> 00:57:33,584
This may very well be
your only fleeting moment

1024
00:57:33,718 --> 00:57:36,253
at the top of the mountain.

1025
00:57:37,955 --> 00:57:40,190
Look at me. I'm 60 years old.

1026
00:57:41,592 --> 00:57:43,160
I look like I'm 80.

1027
00:57:44,328 --> 00:57:46,430
I feel like I'm a hundred.

1028
00:57:50,167 --> 00:57:52,102
I got a wife that hates me.

1029
00:57:55,606 --> 00:57:57,675
Well, she just left, actually.

1030
00:58:00,578 --> 00:58:03,581
I got a cock that doesn't
work without a fucking pill.

1031
00:58:08,085 --> 00:58:09,419
My best buddy,

1032
00:58:11,188 --> 00:58:14,625
since we were little knuckleheads
playing Pee Wee football...

1033
00:58:16,126 --> 00:58:19,029
My best friend, Clint,
just died of blood cancer.

1034
00:58:21,098 --> 00:58:22,633
Just like that.

1035
00:58:24,301 --> 00:58:27,304
Forty years ago, I was you.

1036
00:58:28,505 --> 00:58:30,107
I was you, men.

1037
00:58:31,108 --> 00:58:33,010
Magnificent.

1038
00:58:33,143 --> 00:58:36,581
Quarterback of my little
college in North Dakota.

1039
00:58:37,815 --> 00:58:41,652
I had dreams, and I had
the energy to chase 'em.

1040
00:58:43,353 --> 00:58:45,656
And now...

1041
00:58:49,159 --> 00:58:51,195
I got one thing left,

1042
00:58:51,328 --> 00:58:54,264
one thing in my life

1043
00:58:55,900 --> 00:58:57,902
that means a damn to me:

1044
00:59:09,880 --> 00:59:11,215
You men.

1045
00:59:13,584 --> 00:59:14,785
This room.

1046
00:59:19,690 --> 00:59:21,358
This is all I got...

1047
00:59:25,529 --> 00:59:27,064
and that's okay.

1048
00:59:28,733 --> 00:59:31,568
Believe me, this is all I need.

1049
00:59:34,371 --> 00:59:37,174
Now, some of you are
looking at me like, "Well..."

1050
00:59:37,307 --> 00:59:39,276
bullshit, Coach.

1051
00:59:39,409 --> 00:59:40,544
Come on, now.

1052
00:59:41,378 --> 00:59:42,379
You got money.

1053
00:59:42,512 --> 00:59:45,049
"You're fucking rich."

1054
00:59:45,182 --> 00:59:48,819
Yeah, I got money I...
I couldn't even conceive of

1055
00:59:48,953 --> 00:59:51,255
when I was you men.

1056
00:59:52,723 --> 00:59:54,892
Believe me
when I tell you this...

1057
00:59:55,693 --> 00:59:57,227
Money...

1058
00:59:58,796 --> 01:00:00,197
is shit.

1059
01:00:01,766 --> 01:00:04,034
Money is a numbers game

1060
01:00:04,168 --> 01:00:06,804
played by people in $5,000 suits

1061
01:00:06,937 --> 01:00:09,774
in New York City offices
for their own benefit.

1062
01:00:09,907 --> 01:00:11,976
There is no glory

1063
01:00:13,277 --> 01:00:14,411
in money,

1064
01:00:14,544 --> 01:00:18,615
no life-altering challenge
in money.

1065
01:00:18,749 --> 01:00:21,752
There is no confrontation
with your deepest fears

1066
01:00:21,886 --> 01:00:26,256
and therefore your greatness,
in fucking money.

1067
01:00:27,958 --> 01:00:29,259
Oh, my God.

1068
01:00:29,393 --> 01:00:31,762
What I wouldn't give
to be you men

1069
01:00:33,063 --> 01:00:34,431
right now.

1070
01:00:36,100 --> 01:00:38,335
One day away
from glorious battle

1071
01:00:38,468 --> 01:00:40,604
alongside your band of brothers

1072
01:00:40,738 --> 01:00:44,574
in front of a hundred million
people all over the world.

1073
01:00:44,709 --> 01:00:46,276
Glory.

1074
01:00:48,278 --> 01:00:51,882
The greatest glory
you are ever gonna feel.

1075
01:00:53,483 --> 01:00:56,486
Do you want to give that up?

1076
01:00:56,620 --> 01:01:00,024
For those of you who were
thinking about boycotting,

1077
01:01:01,291 --> 01:01:03,127
you've made your point.

1078
01:01:03,260 --> 01:01:05,095
They are gonna have to change.

1079
01:01:06,130 --> 01:01:07,698
'Cause they heard you.

1080
01:01:07,832 --> 01:01:10,467
They are scared shitless.

1081
01:01:10,600 --> 01:01:13,503
It's beautiful.
It's fucking hilarious.

1082
01:01:13,637 --> 01:01:16,440
Change is coming.
Meaningful change.

1083
01:01:16,573 --> 01:01:18,542
Trust me on that.

1084
01:01:19,877 --> 01:01:22,146
Every one of you has worked

1085
01:01:22,279 --> 01:01:26,183
your whole fucking life
for this moment.

1086
01:01:27,351 --> 01:01:31,188
Don't rob yourselves
of your destiny.

1087
01:01:32,122 --> 01:01:33,991
Glory is at hand.

1088
01:01:36,160 --> 01:01:37,627
Glory

1089
01:01:38,695 --> 01:01:40,564
is yours.

1090
01:01:40,697 --> 01:01:43,834
Glory is ours!

1091
01:01:46,103 --> 01:01:47,537
Glory!

1092
01:01:49,807 --> 01:01:51,041
Take it.

1093
01:02:15,532 --> 01:02:18,936
I heard it was a great speech.

1094
01:02:19,069 --> 01:02:23,107
Now, let's prove to them that LeMarcus
is only doing this for his own benefit,

1095
01:02:23,240 --> 01:02:24,875
so you have enough players

1096
01:02:25,009 --> 01:02:28,078
not only to play this thing,
but to win.

1097
01:02:31,015 --> 01:02:32,649
Do you need a minute, Coach?

1098
01:02:32,783 --> 01:02:35,552
You need to
collect yourself? Okay.

1099
01:02:36,753 --> 01:02:38,522
Let's get it over with.

1100
01:02:40,024 --> 01:02:41,358
Right.

1101
01:02:46,330 --> 01:02:48,265
One miner's breakfast.

1102
01:02:49,099 --> 01:02:50,901
Breakfast of champions.

1103
01:02:54,805 --> 01:02:56,941
Now, I understand we have
some late-breaking news.

1104
01:02:57,074 --> 01:02:59,409
Yes, we're going
to a live press conference

1105
01:02:59,543 --> 01:03:01,411
with Wolves head coach
James Lazor.

1106
01:03:01,545 --> 01:03:04,481
Coach Lazor,
when did you first notice,

1107
01:03:04,614 --> 01:03:06,416
LeMarcus James' knee?

1108
01:03:10,420 --> 01:03:12,322
Well, I had noticed
a slight limp,

1109
01:03:12,456 --> 01:03:14,825
uh, after week three,

1110
01:03:14,959 --> 01:03:18,128
but I just chalked it up to, you
know, the usual bumps and bruises.

1111
01:03:19,729 --> 01:03:21,431
So, I was, um...

1112
01:03:22,933 --> 01:03:24,935
I was disappointed
when I found out

1113
01:03:25,069 --> 01:03:27,838
that he'd been concealing
something more serious.

1114
01:03:27,972 --> 01:03:30,607
- I can't believe Coach is doing this.
- Do you think

1115
01:03:30,740 --> 01:03:32,877
he concealed his injury
to protect his draft status?

1116
01:03:33,010 --> 01:03:35,712
I don't know. He's gonna have
to pass a very thorough physical

1117
01:03:35,846 --> 01:03:37,281
before the draft, so...

1118
01:03:38,548 --> 01:03:41,351
They found that MRI quick.
Their man's good.

1119
01:03:41,485 --> 01:03:43,921
Do you feel he was
manipulating his teammates

1120
01:03:44,054 --> 01:03:45,956
to cash in
on the national title game?

1121
01:03:46,090 --> 01:03:48,292
I guess you'd have
to ask his teammates that.

1122
01:03:48,425 --> 01:03:51,495
Coach, do you feel
that this is a further example

1123
01:03:51,628 --> 01:03:53,864
of a form of modern-day
slave trade?

1124
01:04:00,104 --> 01:04:02,539
I-I'm sorry. I guess I don't
understand that question.

1125
01:04:02,672 --> 01:04:06,010
The physical. Like inspecting a
slave's teeth to determine the price.

1126
01:04:06,143 --> 01:04:07,811
Only now, it's his knees.

1127
01:04:11,115 --> 01:04:16,020
Well, if you call getting
a free top-tier education

1128
01:04:16,153 --> 01:04:20,490
and four years of first-class
accommodations and nutrition,

1129
01:04:20,624 --> 01:04:23,460
not to mention
a sizable living stipend,

1130
01:04:23,593 --> 01:04:26,663
and then toss in a once-
in-a-lifetime opportunity

1131
01:04:26,796 --> 01:04:28,598
to play
in a national title game,

1132
01:04:28,732 --> 01:04:31,035
if we're calling that
the slave trade,

1133
01:04:31,168 --> 01:04:33,237
then I'd love to be a slave.

1134
01:04:35,205 --> 01:04:36,506
Um...

1135
01:04:36,640 --> 01:04:38,208
That's...
That's the last question.

1136
01:04:40,144 --> 01:04:41,912
Well, that already went viral.

1137
01:04:48,318 --> 01:04:49,386
Call Greeny.

1138
01:04:50,820 --> 01:04:52,822
Tell him we're going live.

1139
01:04:52,957 --> 01:04:54,758
Splash it all over Twitter too.

1140
01:04:55,993 --> 01:04:58,228
I am joined now
by LeMarcus James,

1141
01:04:58,362 --> 01:05:00,264
who won this year's
Heisman Trophy

1142
01:05:00,397 --> 01:05:04,068
and has now rocked the entire
world of sports and well beyond

1143
01:05:04,201 --> 01:05:06,603
with his boycott
of the national title game,

1144
01:05:06,736 --> 01:05:08,939
which is scheduled for
tomorrow in New Orleans.

1145
01:05:09,073 --> 01:05:11,713
LeMarcus, I'm gonna jump right into
the question everyone is asking.

1146
01:05:11,808 --> 01:05:15,379
Are you boycotting this game
and demanding compensation

1147
01:05:15,512 --> 01:05:17,781
because of an unfortunate
medical condition

1148
01:05:17,914 --> 01:05:20,584
that could jeopardize
your status in the draft?

1149
01:05:20,717 --> 01:05:22,086
Good morning, Greeny.

1150
01:05:22,219 --> 01:05:24,721
The answer is no.
Unequivocally, no.

1151
01:05:25,722 --> 01:05:27,624
I have no cartilage
in my left knee.

1152
01:05:27,757 --> 01:05:30,760
It'll degenerate over time.
Maybe eight years, maybe 20.

1153
01:05:30,894 --> 01:05:32,729
But name me an NFL team
that wouldn't take

1154
01:05:32,862 --> 01:05:34,764
eight to 20 years
of elite quarterback play.

1155
01:05:34,898 --> 01:05:37,501
You see, the reality is,
this isn't about me.

1156
01:05:37,634 --> 01:05:39,303
This is about
our current system.

1157
01:05:39,436 --> 01:05:41,938
It's about my fellow
D-I athletes and teammates

1158
01:05:42,072 --> 01:05:43,473
who have fallen victim to,

1159
01:05:43,607 --> 01:05:45,742
quite frankly,
a plantation mentality.

1160
01:05:45,875 --> 01:05:47,811
I wanna talk
about that mentality.

1161
01:05:47,944 --> 01:05:49,879
That's fucking rich.

1162
01:05:50,014 --> 01:05:52,358
'Cause clearly, that is at the
center of this entire conversation.

1163
01:05:52,382 --> 01:05:53,984
Your coach, just today,

1164
01:05:54,118 --> 01:05:56,720
said this is a system
he'd love to be a part of

1165
01:05:56,853 --> 01:05:59,789
and even invoked
the tragic word "slavery."

1166
01:05:59,923 --> 01:06:02,159
I have to ask you, do you feel

1167
01:06:02,292 --> 01:06:05,662
this is a slave trade
of a different kind?

1168
01:06:05,795 --> 01:06:10,134
- Can I give you another comparison, Greeny?
- Yeah, of course.

1169
01:06:10,267 --> 01:06:13,637
This is the home of my best friend
and teammate, Emmett Sunday.

1170
01:06:13,770 --> 01:06:16,273
Emmett's father is a farmer
outside Lincoln, Nebraska,

1171
01:06:16,406 --> 01:06:18,242
and his mother
is a teacher's assistant.

1172
01:06:18,375 --> 01:06:20,144
They've saved up
a little bit for retirement,

1173
01:06:20,277 --> 01:06:22,279
but mostly, they just live
month to month.

1174
01:06:22,412 --> 01:06:25,815
One swollen appendix, one
turned ankle from insolvency.

1175
01:06:25,949 --> 01:06:28,352
Now, their son, Emmett Sunday,
has been a four-year starter

1176
01:06:28,485 --> 01:06:30,654
for one of the best college
programs in the country.

1177
01:06:30,787 --> 01:06:32,389
Tomorrow, he'll play in a game

1178
01:06:32,522 --> 01:06:34,658
that'll gross over
a half a billion dollars.

1179
01:06:34,791 --> 01:06:36,693
Half a billion dollars
for a single game.

1180
01:06:36,826 --> 01:06:38,228
And Emmett won't see a dime.

1181
01:06:38,362 --> 01:06:39,829
His football days will be over.

1182
01:06:39,963 --> 01:06:42,399
Zero compensation,
zero medical insurance

1183
01:06:42,532 --> 01:06:45,102
for the injuries he's sustained,
some of them permanent.

1184
01:06:45,235 --> 01:06:46,803
And now, this...

1185
01:06:48,172 --> 01:06:49,973
is the Palm Beach vacation home

1186
01:06:50,107 --> 01:06:52,209
for my coach, James Lazor.

1187
01:06:53,610 --> 01:06:55,612
This is his Chicago penthouse.

1188
01:06:57,814 --> 01:07:00,016
This is his
six-bedroom Craftsman,

1189
01:07:00,150 --> 01:07:01,685
where he stays
during the season.

1190
01:07:01,818 --> 01:07:03,220
His work home.

1191
01:07:03,353 --> 01:07:05,522
Now, Coach has profited
off a system

1192
01:07:05,655 --> 01:07:07,857
that is entirely based
on free labor.

1193
01:07:07,991 --> 01:07:10,431
We're not playing in any games
until those who actually play...

1194
01:07:10,560 --> 01:07:13,430
And not just the superstars. All
athletes, down to the special teams...

1195
01:07:13,563 --> 01:07:16,566
- Jesus. -...are
considered and compensated.

1196
01:07:16,700 --> 01:07:18,502
Now.

1197
01:07:18,635 --> 01:07:20,637
This crazy motherfucker.

1198
01:07:20,770 --> 01:07:23,207
There you have it, directly
from LeMarcus James.

1199
01:07:23,340 --> 01:07:25,709
LeMarcus, thank you very much.
All right, LeMarcus.

1200
01:07:25,842 --> 01:07:28,378
I appreciate the time.
We'll take a short break,

1201
01:07:28,512 --> 01:07:30,647
and be back with more
in just a moment.

1202
01:07:30,780 --> 01:07:33,083
What the calamitous fuck?

1203
01:07:33,217 --> 01:07:35,619
We've been goddamn
outflanked by two kids,

1204
01:07:35,752 --> 01:07:37,421
like we're
in Scooby fucking Doo.

1205
01:07:37,554 --> 01:07:39,589
Oh, you know what
the dipshit sidekick did

1206
01:07:39,723 --> 01:07:42,058
when LeMarcus
was grandstanding on TV?

1207
01:07:42,192 --> 01:07:43,460
Sunday. Huh?

1208
01:07:43,593 --> 01:07:45,295
His name is Emmett Sunday.

1209
01:07:45,429 --> 01:07:47,063
Oh, thank God
we got that all cleared up.

1210
01:07:47,197 --> 01:07:51,501
Emmett fucking-us-sideways
Sunday leaks my Nike contract.

1211
01:07:51,635 --> 01:07:53,703
Now every New York City
zig-zag's

1212
01:07:53,837 --> 01:07:56,072
asking me where
$30 million a year goes.

1213
01:07:56,206 --> 01:07:57,541
Where does it go?

1214
01:07:57,674 --> 01:07:59,243
How the hell do I know?

1215
01:07:59,376 --> 01:08:01,345
You're the head
of the conference.

1216
01:08:01,478 --> 01:08:02,679
Excuse me?

1217
01:08:02,812 --> 01:08:04,714
You're the head
of your conference.

1218
01:08:04,848 --> 01:08:07,751
You should be able to answer a layup
like where your sneaker money goes.

1219
01:08:08,918 --> 01:08:10,654
Okay.

1220
01:08:10,787 --> 01:08:11,955
Band fields.

1221
01:08:12,088 --> 01:08:13,657
Softball stadiums.

1222
01:08:13,790 --> 01:08:16,926
Turquoise-green Bermuda fucking sod.
Where else?

1223
01:08:17,060 --> 01:08:19,196
Orlando Bishop
just tweeted this.

1224
01:08:19,329 --> 01:08:20,797
- He's out.
- That's cute.

1225
01:08:20,930 --> 01:08:22,899
We got four players
threatening to walk now too.

1226
01:08:23,032 --> 01:08:24,434
How are these two
even doing this?

1227
01:08:24,568 --> 01:08:26,069
I still think
Coach Lazor's the one

1228
01:08:26,203 --> 01:08:27,804
to talk LeMarcus off this ledge.

1229
01:08:27,937 --> 01:08:29,973
He walks him back,
they'll all follow.

1230
01:08:30,106 --> 01:08:31,875
Where's your coach now?

1231
01:08:32,008 --> 01:08:34,344
He's, uh, taking a minute.

1232
01:08:34,478 --> 01:08:35,812
He's tanking.

1233
01:08:35,945 --> 01:08:37,747
- He's fine.
- What does he need?

1234
01:08:37,881 --> 01:08:39,749
A divorce lawyer.

1235
01:08:39,883 --> 01:08:42,252
He's fine, I said.
Lazor or no Lazor,

1236
01:08:42,386 --> 01:08:44,029
we're putting two teams
on the field tomorrow,

1237
01:08:44,053 --> 01:08:46,022
even if we gotta dress
the damn cheerleaders.

1238
01:08:46,156 --> 01:08:48,292
Who's second in line
if Lazor can't go?

1239
01:08:48,425 --> 01:08:52,362
I guess, uh, Ronnie Dunn,
defensive coordinator.

1240
01:08:52,496 --> 01:08:54,431
You trust him?
Yeah. Company man.

1241
01:08:54,564 --> 01:08:56,433
Been at the university
since a player himself,

1242
01:08:56,566 --> 01:08:58,335
so, yeah, he'll take
marching orders.

1243
01:08:58,468 --> 01:09:00,770
- You sure?
- This a fucking inquisition?

1244
01:09:00,904 --> 01:09:04,374
I don't trust anyone with a
vested pension and Medicare.

1245
01:09:05,575 --> 01:09:07,277
Oh, God. You know what?

1246
01:09:07,411 --> 01:09:09,479
Fuck you very much.

1247
01:09:09,613 --> 01:09:12,916
All right? I need this shit
like I need a third tit.

1248
01:09:13,049 --> 01:09:15,352
I will march
my entire conference

1249
01:09:15,485 --> 01:09:16,986
right out that door,

1250
01:09:17,120 --> 01:09:21,525
put together my own
play-offs without any of you.

1251
01:09:21,658 --> 01:09:23,126
How do you like me?

1252
01:09:23,260 --> 01:09:25,329
You'd be in breach
of 16 different contracts,

1253
01:09:25,462 --> 01:09:29,132
squander a $100-million payday
for tomorrow alone.

1254
01:09:29,266 --> 01:09:32,502
Not to mention what I imagine
would be a full audit

1255
01:09:32,636 --> 01:09:35,772
of SEC expenses
under your tenure.

1256
01:09:35,905 --> 01:09:38,808
You know, to make sure that those
band fields, softball stadiums

1257
01:09:38,942 --> 01:09:42,679
and turquoise-green Bermuda
sod weren't really just

1258
01:09:42,812 --> 01:09:46,182
high-paid escorts
in New York City

1259
01:09:46,316 --> 01:09:49,419
at the Bemelman Bar
of the Carlyle.

1260
01:09:53,557 --> 01:09:56,493
Bouncing 'em out of your
apartment three at a time, right?

1261
01:10:04,634 --> 01:10:06,202
Fuck you.

1262
01:10:09,273 --> 01:10:10,507
Hoo!

1263
01:10:15,645 --> 01:10:17,847
We're still 24 hours away

1264
01:10:17,981 --> 01:10:20,183
from the Snickers
National Title game.

1265
01:10:20,317 --> 01:10:22,252
- Only the biggest game...
- Man, these guys

1266
01:10:22,386 --> 01:10:23,920
are already getting
free education.

1267
01:10:24,053 --> 01:10:26,222
Money is just gonna ruin it.

1268
01:10:26,356 --> 01:10:28,268
They aren't ready for all that money.
I wasn't when I was 18.

1269
01:10:28,292 --> 01:10:30,494
I don't know
if this man is a racist,

1270
01:10:30,627 --> 01:10:32,762
but what I do know
is that he made a fortune

1271
01:10:32,896 --> 01:10:36,165
mostly off the backs
of young Black men.

1272
01:10:37,301 --> 01:10:38,902
Question.

1273
01:10:39,035 --> 01:10:41,405
If I hadn't stayed here
to explain to you

1274
01:10:41,538 --> 01:10:44,974
that I was leaving, would
you have noticed I'd gone?

1275
01:11:08,698 --> 01:11:10,634
Coach! Coach Lazor!

1276
01:11:10,767 --> 01:11:13,303
- Oh, my God.
Look, it's Coach Lazor.

1277
01:11:13,437 --> 01:11:15,305
Hey, Coach, can we get a picture?
Sorry, buddy.

1278
01:11:15,439 --> 01:11:18,241
It's just really not a good time, okay?
Sorry, sorry...

1279
01:11:18,375 --> 01:11:21,077
Okay, not now!

1280
01:11:21,210 --> 01:11:24,481
Hey, give him some space.
Give him some space.

1281
01:11:24,614 --> 01:11:26,082
No pictures! No pictures!

1282
01:11:26,215 --> 01:11:27,551
Have a good game, Coach!

1283
01:11:44,968 --> 01:11:47,537
Now, I know for a fact
that LeMarcus and the guys,

1284
01:11:47,671 --> 01:11:49,339
they respect
the hell out of you,

1285
01:11:49,473 --> 01:11:54,778
and you would be the first
African-American head coach

1286
01:11:54,911 --> 01:11:59,683
to lead a team onto the field
for a national title game.

1287
01:12:00,517 --> 01:12:02,118
Hell,

1288
01:12:02,251 --> 01:12:04,488
hopefully win the thing, huh?

1289
01:12:04,621 --> 01:12:06,856
Let's make history together.

1290
01:12:24,107 --> 01:12:26,476
The NCAA may have started
with this...

1291
01:12:26,610 --> 01:12:28,712
imaginary pie-in-the-sky idea

1292
01:12:28,845 --> 01:12:31,280
that it was about amateurism,
and at one point it was.

1293
01:12:31,415 --> 01:12:34,818
But then there was a turn,
and it became about money.

1294
01:12:34,951 --> 01:12:37,787
Plain and simple.
I thought this was America.

1295
01:12:37,921 --> 01:12:39,656
Yeah?

1296
01:12:39,789 --> 01:12:41,558
It's Coach Dunn.

1297
01:12:43,259 --> 01:12:45,061
You all by your lonesome?

1298
01:12:45,194 --> 01:12:47,664
It's just me.

1299
01:12:50,534 --> 01:12:51,568
Coach?

1300
01:12:51,701 --> 01:12:54,370
You two are really hard to find.

1301
01:12:54,504 --> 01:12:57,340
It's easier to find Bigfoot
than to find you two.

1302
01:12:58,341 --> 01:13:00,043
Look, relax. I won't tell Lazor.

1303
01:13:01,010 --> 01:13:02,846
You know something?

1304
01:13:02,979 --> 01:13:05,381
I gotta give credit
to you two, actually.

1305
01:13:05,515 --> 01:13:08,051
I'm really surprised
you was able to pull this off.

1306
01:13:10,086 --> 01:13:11,788
But you got trouble.

1307
01:13:12,989 --> 01:13:15,091
Yep, they still gonna
play the game.

1308
01:13:17,561 --> 01:13:19,095
With 19 freshmen?

1309
01:13:19,996 --> 01:13:21,531
Cornelius?

1310
01:13:21,665 --> 01:13:23,545
They don't care who plays
as long as it's on TV.

1311
01:13:25,702 --> 01:13:27,571
The shit bowl.

1312
01:13:27,704 --> 01:13:29,706
They shitting
their pants right now.

1313
01:13:29,839 --> 01:13:31,875
They got so desperate,
they approached me

1314
01:13:32,008 --> 01:13:33,943
and said
If Lazor doesn't show up,

1315
01:13:34,077 --> 01:13:36,012
I can bring the team
out to the field.

1316
01:13:37,180 --> 01:13:39,082
So, Coach is sitting?

1317
01:13:39,215 --> 01:13:41,193
I don't know, man. It's
really hard to tell right now,

1318
01:13:41,217 --> 01:13:42,919
but it looks like it.

1319
01:13:43,052 --> 01:13:44,052
Damn.

1320
01:13:44,153 --> 01:13:46,322
So, what you gonna do?

1321
01:13:46,456 --> 01:13:48,992
The first Black head coach
in a national title game?

1322
01:13:49,125 --> 01:13:50,827
It's a big deal.

1323
01:13:52,095 --> 01:13:55,331
I ain't no fucking pawn.
Hell, no, I'm not doing it.

1324
01:13:55,465 --> 01:13:57,433
I'm one of best defensive
coaches in this country.

1325
01:13:57,567 --> 01:13:58,935
I don't need
no fucking handouts.

1326
01:13:59,068 --> 01:14:00,470
Amen, Coach.

1327
01:14:00,604 --> 01:14:02,071
We feel the same way.

1328
01:14:02,205 --> 01:14:04,340
Even if this whole thing
goes up in a ball of flames,

1329
01:14:04,474 --> 01:14:06,242
we're not stepping
on that field.

1330
01:14:08,745 --> 01:14:11,581
Look, y'all. Have I ever told
you the Hannibal Lawson story?

1331
01:14:11,715 --> 01:14:13,850
Who? Hannibal Lawson.

1332
01:14:13,983 --> 01:14:17,053
So, Han Lawson, to me, was one
of the best defensive tackles

1333
01:14:17,186 --> 01:14:18,922
in Louisiana
high school history.

1334
01:14:19,055 --> 01:14:20,824
He went on to LSU.

1335
01:14:20,957 --> 01:14:22,926
You know, a bright future.

1336
01:14:24,027 --> 01:14:25,762
He got his knee shredded
in practice.

1337
01:14:25,895 --> 01:14:28,598
And the result of that,
they took his scholarship away.

1338
01:14:30,900 --> 01:14:32,769
But Hannibal did
something interesting.

1339
01:14:32,902 --> 01:14:35,805
He hired a lawyer in a cheap suit
with some night-school degree,

1340
01:14:35,939 --> 01:14:38,675
and he sued the NCAA
for workmen's comp.

1341
01:14:38,808 --> 01:14:40,677
- Smart, right?
- Yeah.

1342
01:14:40,810 --> 01:14:43,112
Went all the way to
the Louisiana Supreme Court.

1343
01:14:43,246 --> 01:14:44,914
What happened?

1344
01:14:45,048 --> 01:14:46,816
Student-athlete.

1345
01:14:46,950 --> 01:14:49,285
Yeah, they said he was nothing
but a student-athlete.

1346
01:14:49,418 --> 01:14:51,564
They didn't consider him an employee,
even though they were selling

1347
01:14:51,588 --> 01:14:53,222
hundreds and thousands
of tickets

1348
01:14:53,356 --> 01:14:55,892
every fucking Saturday,
making millions of dollars!

1349
01:14:56,025 --> 01:14:59,529
You're breaking your body every
fucking practice and every game.

1350
01:14:59,663 --> 01:15:02,407
And whenever they decide to take the
scholarship away from you, they can,

1351
01:15:02,431 --> 01:15:03,967
whenever the fuck
they feel like it.

1352
01:15:04,100 --> 01:15:06,903
That's a crazy, sick system.

1353
01:15:07,036 --> 01:15:10,206
And maybe you two will change it.
I don't know.

1354
01:15:10,339 --> 01:15:13,977
But I want y'all to understand something.
There's a lot of Han Lawsons out here.

1355
01:15:15,211 --> 01:15:16,646
Survival of the fittest.

1356
01:15:18,347 --> 01:15:20,116
America.

1357
01:15:21,585 --> 01:15:23,553
This little pigskin football
right here

1358
01:15:23,687 --> 01:15:25,054
holds a lot of weight to it.

1359
01:15:25,188 --> 01:15:26,956
It's more than a game.

1360
01:15:27,090 --> 01:15:28,892
It's a fucking business.

1361
01:15:33,429 --> 01:15:34,798
Hey, Coach.

1362
01:15:35,832 --> 01:15:37,567
Thank you.

1363
01:15:38,534 --> 01:15:40,003
Good luck, fellas.

1364
01:15:48,678 --> 01:15:50,513
We're gonna need Cecil on board.

1365
01:15:50,647 --> 01:15:54,183
We both don't play, the
advertisers will start pulling out.

1366
01:15:55,518 --> 01:15:56,920
It's the only way.

1367
01:16:00,156 --> 01:16:02,358
Take a little more
of the edge off.

1368
01:16:04,260 --> 01:16:06,395
Gotta let it out.

1369
01:16:06,529 --> 01:16:09,398
If you don't, it just stays
inside you, it becomes poison.

1370
01:16:11,367 --> 01:16:14,070
Okay, what's the plan? Damn it.

1371
01:16:14,203 --> 01:16:16,139
I can't even focus
on that right now.

1372
01:16:16,272 --> 01:16:19,575
Well, you... you got to.
You gotta bifurcate.

1373
01:16:19,709 --> 01:16:23,947
Uh, I don't know what that means,
but I think I get the gist of it.

1374
01:16:24,080 --> 01:16:25,915
About to lose 500,000
'cause of LeMarcus.

1375
01:16:26,049 --> 01:16:27,116
Taylor. He fucked us.

1376
01:16:27,250 --> 01:16:28,661
- Put the phone down.
- He fucked us.

1377
01:16:28,685 --> 01:16:30,353
- Put the phone down.
- All right.

1378
01:16:30,486 --> 01:16:33,022
Coach, I know you don't want
to hear this right now.

1379
01:16:33,156 --> 01:16:36,092
I've been married
three times myself.

1380
01:16:36,225 --> 01:16:38,394
But the hurt goes away.

1381
01:16:38,527 --> 01:16:39,796
Poof.

1382
01:16:39,929 --> 01:16:41,965
One day, just like that. Gone.

1383
01:16:42,098 --> 01:16:44,801
I'm telling you,
Bailey's my one and only.

1384
01:16:44,934 --> 01:16:47,937
And she's gone.
And it's my own goddamn fault.

1385
01:16:48,071 --> 01:16:49,639
Coach, no offense at all.

1386
01:16:49,773 --> 01:16:51,708
Your love life,
that's your thing.

1387
01:16:51,841 --> 01:16:53,309
Your racial views,
that's your thing.

1388
01:16:53,442 --> 01:16:55,845
But we have a national
title in less than 24 hours.

1389
01:16:55,979 --> 01:16:58,281
Can you please just focus on that?
Fucking racial views?

1390
01:16:58,414 --> 01:16:59,916
First of all,
one goddamn reporter

1391
01:17:00,049 --> 01:17:01,529
baits me into saying
something stupid.

1392
01:17:01,617 --> 01:17:03,119
I know you're not racist.

1393
01:17:03,252 --> 01:17:04,964
I'm just saying we got
the game to focus on, okay?

1394
01:17:04,988 --> 01:17:06,690
That's all I'm saying.
What fucking game?

1395
01:17:06,823 --> 01:17:08,792
I don't have a goddamn team.
Less than 24 hours.

1396
01:17:08,925 --> 01:17:12,128
I'm supposed to walk out of that
tunnel with... with freshmen.

1397
01:17:12,261 --> 01:17:14,698
Nobody's askin' you... and go
in there and get our ass kicked?

1398
01:17:14,831 --> 01:17:17,643
You gotta figure it out. That's not
competition. That's a fucking slaughter.

1399
01:17:17,667 --> 01:17:19,168
I'm doing what I can.

1400
01:17:19,302 --> 01:17:21,270
You gotta do better, Coach.
You're under contract.

1401
01:17:21,404 --> 01:17:23,106
Con... Fuck that contract.

1402
01:17:23,239 --> 01:17:25,675
Are you talking to me about
the fucking contract right now?

1403
01:17:25,809 --> 01:17:27,329
I could walk
across the street tomorrow

1404
01:17:27,443 --> 01:17:29,421
and get another contract
if they find me in breach.

1405
01:17:29,445 --> 01:17:31,726
I don't give a shit. I don't
need the goddamn money anyway.

1406
01:17:31,815 --> 01:17:33,182
Coach, you're hurtin' right now.

1407
01:17:33,316 --> 01:17:36,519
Let's just give it
an hour or two.

1408
01:17:36,652 --> 01:17:38,321
See the state of play.

1409
01:17:38,454 --> 01:17:41,624
It's best not to make
any decisions feeling this way.

1410
01:17:43,159 --> 01:17:44,694
Tell you what. It's the ones

1411
01:17:44,828 --> 01:17:47,630
that are closest to us
that hurt us the most.

1412
01:18:06,449 --> 01:18:08,852
You as good as they say you are?

1413
01:18:08,985 --> 01:18:11,687
To which of my many talents
are you referring?

1414
01:18:12,989 --> 01:18:15,391
There was a fight
that no one knows about.

1415
01:18:15,524 --> 01:18:17,861
A real brawl.
A kid got hurt bad.

1416
01:18:17,994 --> 01:18:21,197
I'll alert the authorities.
Oh, they know.

1417
01:18:21,330 --> 01:18:24,734
He's blind in one eye now
and got a hole in his skull.

1418
01:18:26,402 --> 01:18:29,405
But money talks, and NDAs don't.

1419
01:18:34,610 --> 01:18:36,045
I'm listening.

1420
01:18:38,815 --> 01:18:40,183
LeMarcus.

1421
01:18:46,555 --> 01:18:49,325
Oh, crap, I think I just
called you my pistachio.

1422
01:18:49,458 --> 01:18:52,929
Your phone sucks.
Is mine in there?

1423
01:18:53,062 --> 01:18:54,663
It is here.

1424
01:18:54,798 --> 01:18:56,532
Ah.

1425
01:18:56,665 --> 01:18:59,803
You just got a text from
a guy named Mike Titus.

1426
01:18:59,936 --> 01:19:01,771
What? Crap.

1427
01:19:01,905 --> 01:19:05,374
I just must have grabbed James'
personal one again by accident.

1428
01:19:05,508 --> 01:19:09,312
Can you bring it to me,
mi pistachio?

1429
01:19:10,746 --> 01:19:12,782
It's probably goin' ape-shit
right now.

1430
01:19:12,916 --> 01:19:14,918
After everything we've done
for LeMarcus.

1431
01:19:15,051 --> 01:19:18,387
Every single one of those kids
are spoiled brats.

1432
01:19:18,521 --> 01:19:20,423
Spoiled freaking brats.

1433
01:19:20,556 --> 01:19:22,959
Geez.

1434
01:19:23,092 --> 01:19:27,130
Oh, I cannot wait to go to Rome.

1435
01:19:27,263 --> 01:19:30,099
There's this one place
that I want to eat at,

1436
01:19:30,233 --> 01:19:33,402
and they still have the bullet
holes in the walls from the war.

1437
01:19:33,536 --> 01:19:37,073
Do you see this? Probably
not, 'cause your phone stinks.

1438
01:19:40,844 --> 01:19:41,945
What?

1439
01:19:44,848 --> 01:19:46,782
I've been helping LeMarcus.

1440
01:19:49,518 --> 01:19:51,254
What?

1441
01:19:51,387 --> 01:19:53,156
You know, with his boycott.

1442
01:19:53,289 --> 01:19:54,891
That's why I'm here.

1443
01:19:56,525 --> 01:19:58,327
I don't get it.

1444
01:20:00,329 --> 01:20:02,665
He came to me after class.

1445
01:20:03,666 --> 01:20:05,134
And...

1446
01:20:06,235 --> 01:20:07,770
what was I gonna do?

1447
01:20:08,737 --> 01:20:10,706
Be another tenured paper tiger?

1448
01:20:12,275 --> 01:20:14,377
Teaching organized labor
five days a week,

1449
01:20:14,510 --> 01:20:16,880
then hide behind my desk
when one of my own students

1450
01:20:17,013 --> 01:20:19,182
actually wants
to do something about it?

1451
01:20:21,084 --> 01:20:22,852
So...

1452
01:20:22,986 --> 01:20:24,353
I helped him

1453
01:20:25,488 --> 01:20:27,456
with his strategy

1454
01:20:28,257 --> 01:20:29,893
any way I could.

1455
01:20:31,961 --> 01:20:33,096
It's funny.

1456
01:20:33,229 --> 01:20:35,331
LeMarcus knew
the rumors about us,

1457
01:20:35,464 --> 01:20:37,200
like everybody else.

1458
01:20:37,333 --> 01:20:39,135
Except your husband, of course.

1459
01:20:40,436 --> 01:20:43,672
And you, calling LeMarcus
a spoiled brat,

1460
01:20:44,640 --> 01:20:48,211
especially when he has
so much to lose.

1461
01:20:50,146 --> 01:20:53,682
Maybe you're more part of the
system than you think. Get out.

1462
01:20:55,818 --> 01:20:57,987
Get the fuck out of here.

1463
01:21:02,658 --> 01:21:03,927
Leave!

1464
01:21:27,016 --> 01:21:28,717
Fuck me.

1465
01:22:05,588 --> 01:22:07,790
Oh, sorry. I think
we got the wrong room.

1466
01:22:07,923 --> 01:22:09,792
No. This room is Cecil's.

1467
01:22:09,925 --> 01:22:12,261
Come in.
We don't have a lot of time.

1468
01:22:20,569 --> 01:22:23,139
My name's Katherine Poe.
I come bearing gifts.

1469
01:22:23,272 --> 01:22:25,241
You need my phone?

1470
01:22:28,711 --> 01:22:30,013
You look rough.

1471
01:22:30,146 --> 01:22:32,281
Just a cold.

1472
01:22:32,415 --> 01:22:33,916
Where's Cecil?

1473
01:22:34,050 --> 01:22:36,652
They're in a suite
ten floors up, playing 2K.

1474
01:22:38,121 --> 01:22:39,588
No, wait.

1475
01:22:39,722 --> 01:22:42,058
You haven't
even heard my offer yet.

1476
01:22:42,191 --> 01:22:44,793
It's a pretty good offer.
A lot of wonderful things.

1477
01:22:44,927 --> 01:22:46,662
A lot of meat on the bone.

1478
01:22:51,867 --> 01:22:53,436
Okay.

1479
01:22:53,569 --> 01:22:55,404
What you got?

1480
01:22:55,538 --> 01:22:57,840
I send the best concierge
doctor in New Orleans,

1481
01:22:57,973 --> 01:22:59,608
Dr. Eric, to your room.

1482
01:22:59,742 --> 01:23:03,179
He gives you an IV, a Z-Pak,
you get plenty of rest,

1483
01:23:03,312 --> 01:23:05,481
you and your team play the game,

1484
01:23:06,815 --> 01:23:08,951
and you go number one
overall in April.

1485
01:23:09,085 --> 01:23:10,486
All your dreams come true.

1486
01:23:10,619 --> 01:23:12,221
And...

1487
01:23:12,355 --> 01:23:15,158
I will personally make sure

1488
01:23:15,291 --> 01:23:18,694
that the NCAA forms
an exploratory committee

1489
01:23:18,827 --> 01:23:21,964
to fully monetize
amateur athletics.

1490
01:23:22,098 --> 01:23:24,400
"Exploratory committee"?
Yeah, that's gonna be a pass.

1491
01:23:24,533 --> 01:23:27,536
No, wait.
You haven't heard the cherry on top.

1492
01:23:28,804 --> 01:23:30,973
Best part is,
you don't go to jail.

1493
01:23:32,875 --> 01:23:35,211
For boycottin' a football game?

1494
01:23:35,344 --> 01:23:38,547
For the attempted murder
of K.C. Walton.

1495
01:23:43,586 --> 01:23:44,953
Wow.

1496
01:23:45,988 --> 01:23:47,890
Wow!

1497
01:23:48,023 --> 01:23:51,460
For the last 48 hours, you guys have
been trying to destroy this man!

1498
01:23:51,594 --> 01:23:53,896
And what, you land
on outright assassination?

1499
01:23:54,029 --> 01:23:57,233
For what, money? K.C.
Walton is blind in one eye.

1500
01:23:57,366 --> 01:23:59,402
He has a crack in his skull,

1501
01:23:59,535 --> 01:24:03,739
and he hasn't walked the same ever
since that fight outside of the, uh,

1502
01:24:03,872 --> 01:24:06,842
Gin Mill Bar and Grill.

1503
01:24:08,877 --> 01:24:10,913
So I spoke to his mother,

1504
01:24:11,046 --> 01:24:12,957
and she jumped at the idea of
being able to... It's bullshit.

1505
01:24:12,981 --> 01:24:15,118
It's not bullshit!

1506
01:24:15,251 --> 01:24:18,454
She jumped at the idea of being
able to throw out that NDA

1507
01:24:18,587 --> 01:24:21,357
and burn that 100K
that was used to buy them off

1508
01:24:21,490 --> 01:24:23,926
if it meant that
she could find the guys

1509
01:24:24,059 --> 01:24:26,929
who hurt her son
and get paid again.

1510
01:24:27,062 --> 01:24:29,932
You don't know what you're doing.
Hey. No.

1511
01:24:31,200 --> 01:24:32,568
She ain't got nothin'.

1512
01:24:32,701 --> 01:24:34,370
Let's get outta here.

1513
01:24:36,339 --> 01:24:37,773
I got Reggie.

1514
01:24:41,510 --> 01:24:43,179
Your half-brother.

1515
01:24:48,184 --> 01:24:49,618
So you spoke to him?

1516
01:24:51,187 --> 01:24:53,256
Haven't found him yet.

1517
01:24:53,389 --> 01:24:56,859
When I do, I promise you,
I am going to piece together

1518
01:24:56,992 --> 01:24:59,395
what exactly happened
that night.

1519
01:24:59,528 --> 01:25:02,131
LeMarcus, wake up.

1520
01:25:03,566 --> 01:25:06,369
How do you think it is gonna
look when someone like Reggie,

1521
01:25:06,502 --> 01:25:09,071
who has two felony
possession charges

1522
01:25:09,205 --> 01:25:11,140
and assault and battery,
shows up

1523
01:25:11,274 --> 01:25:13,342
in front of an all-white jury
in Missouri

1524
01:25:13,476 --> 01:25:14,977
with attempted-murder charges

1525
01:25:15,110 --> 01:25:18,080
to a guy who is
permanently injured?

1526
01:25:19,315 --> 01:25:21,317
One look at that jack,
and I'd be able to know

1527
01:25:21,450 --> 01:25:23,352
that he was the one
that kicked K.C.'s ass.

1528
01:25:24,287 --> 01:25:26,589
But guess what? This is America.

1529
01:25:26,722 --> 01:25:29,192
Nobody cares about your brother.

1530
01:25:29,892 --> 01:25:30,959
Nobody.

1531
01:25:32,728 --> 01:25:35,698
The only one they were able to
spot that night in that melee

1532
01:25:35,831 --> 01:25:39,702
was one LeMarcus James,
star quarterback.

1533
01:25:39,835 --> 01:25:42,104
And so the state police
picked you up

1534
01:25:42,238 --> 01:25:43,639
and hit you with charges,

1535
01:25:43,772 --> 01:25:45,674
but some deep-pocketed booster,

1536
01:25:45,808 --> 01:25:47,910
who I think I just fucking met,

1537
01:25:48,043 --> 01:25:49,111
stepped in

1538
01:25:49,245 --> 01:25:51,814
and paid off K.C.
and his family.

1539
01:25:51,947 --> 01:25:53,949
Because that's what we do
in big football, right?

1540
01:25:54,082 --> 01:25:56,585
You protect the phenom

1541
01:25:56,719 --> 01:26:00,356
when he has a chance of bringing
home that national title this year.

1542
01:26:00,489 --> 01:26:02,358
Sound about right?

1543
01:26:03,959 --> 01:26:07,796
I suggest you let
Dr. Eric patch you up tonight,

1544
01:26:07,930 --> 01:26:11,467
and then we do a joint press
conference in the morning.

1545
01:26:11,600 --> 01:26:15,338
All the head honchos
up in the penthouse,

1546
01:26:15,471 --> 01:26:17,139
heads bowed,

1547
01:26:17,273 --> 01:26:19,808
agreeing that,
yes, there is a problem.

1548
01:26:21,510 --> 01:26:23,178
And then you play.

1549
01:26:23,312 --> 01:26:26,649
You win, and you get
to take that victory lap

1550
01:26:26,782 --> 01:26:29,418
you have been
dreaming about since...

1551
01:26:29,552 --> 01:26:31,854
since you stood on the sidelines

1552
01:26:31,987 --> 01:26:34,657
watching your big brother
in north Virginia.

1553
01:26:36,191 --> 01:26:40,429
And then change does come
because of you, eventually.

1554
01:26:40,563 --> 01:26:43,599
And that is something
you both can be proud of.

1555
01:26:44,567 --> 01:26:47,236
I got a question.

1556
01:26:47,370 --> 01:26:50,406
Are you completely fucking
heartless, or just a little bit?

1557
01:26:50,539 --> 01:26:53,041
- Oh, my God.
- How do you live with yourself?

1558
01:26:53,175 --> 01:26:56,979
Honestly, how do you live with yourself?
I am not heartless!

1559
01:26:57,112 --> 01:26:58,981
You do not know me!

1560
01:27:00,683 --> 01:27:03,486
You think I don't know
your struggle?

1561
01:27:03,619 --> 01:27:07,290
You think I don't know what you have
come from? That I haven't been there?

1562
01:27:08,357 --> 01:27:10,058
You think I don't know
what it's like

1563
01:27:10,192 --> 01:27:12,227
to be without heat
in your house?

1564
01:27:12,361 --> 01:27:13,862
That I don't know what it's like

1565
01:27:13,996 --> 01:27:16,164
to not be able
to afford your jersey,

1566
01:27:16,299 --> 01:27:17,800
and you are avoiding your coach

1567
01:27:17,933 --> 01:27:20,536
'cause you don't have
the $50 to pay for it?

1568
01:27:22,237 --> 01:27:24,940
I ran track at Duke, okay?

1569
01:27:26,375 --> 01:27:27,743
Full ride.

1570
01:27:27,876 --> 01:27:29,812
No big medals, no big wins.

1571
01:27:29,945 --> 01:27:33,282
But I took that money because it was
the only way I was gonna run myself

1572
01:27:33,416 --> 01:27:36,151
out of that Red Hook project.

1573
01:27:36,285 --> 01:27:38,887
You think you know me.

1574
01:27:40,255 --> 01:27:42,124
You don't know me.

1575
01:27:42,257 --> 01:27:46,094
I had to fight and climb

1576
01:27:46,228 --> 01:27:48,564
and crawl to be here

1577
01:27:48,697 --> 01:27:50,699
because I did the work.

1578
01:27:54,036 --> 01:27:59,074
The NCAA spends $3.6 billion

1579
01:27:59,207 --> 01:28:02,778
on student-athlete
scholarships for kids like me,

1580
01:28:02,911 --> 01:28:05,414
like you and like you,

1581
01:28:06,782 --> 01:28:08,984
so that we can get a leg up.

1582
01:28:09,117 --> 01:28:11,053
And what happens to all of that

1583
01:28:12,120 --> 01:28:14,122
when they start paying you?

1584
01:28:14,256 --> 01:28:15,724
Hmm?

1585
01:28:15,858 --> 01:28:20,095
What happens to volleyball
in Minnesota,

1586
01:28:20,228 --> 01:28:22,130
to soccer in Idaho,

1587
01:28:22,264 --> 01:28:24,433
to softball in South Carolina?

1588
01:28:24,567 --> 01:28:26,935
What happens to
all of those other sports

1589
01:28:27,069 --> 01:28:30,673
that are not men's football
and basketball?

1590
01:28:32,675 --> 01:28:36,211
You out here fighting, and you
forgot who you're fighting for.

1591
01:28:38,781 --> 01:28:41,850
You know, but...

1592
01:28:42,951 --> 01:28:44,653
Hey, what do I know?

1593
01:28:45,821 --> 01:28:47,289
I'm heartless.

1594
01:29:24,627 --> 01:29:27,930
Hi, everybody, and good morning
from the Big Easy. I'm Steve Levy.

1595
01:29:28,063 --> 01:29:29,698
We are some 12 hours away

1596
01:29:29,832 --> 01:29:32,535
from tonight's Snickers
National Title game.

1597
01:29:32,668 --> 01:29:34,703
Now, I'm being told
that a midnight deal

1598
01:29:34,837 --> 01:29:37,372
may have been brokered
with LeMarcus James.

1599
01:29:37,506 --> 01:29:40,275
Details still remain
a little bit sketchy,

1600
01:29:40,409 --> 01:29:43,546
but there's a news conference
scheduled for a couple hours from now.

1601
01:29:43,679 --> 01:29:45,748
My sources tell me
that both teams

1602
01:29:45,881 --> 01:29:47,382
could be
at full strength tonight,

1603
01:29:47,516 --> 01:29:49,685
and that includes James.

1604
01:29:49,818 --> 01:29:51,620
You know what else that means?

1605
01:29:51,754 --> 01:29:54,423
Strike up the band.
Fire up that old grill.

1606
01:29:54,557 --> 01:29:56,992
We're gonna have some great
football action for you to...

1607
01:29:57,125 --> 01:30:00,228
The 13-1 Cougars
against the undefeated Wolves,

1608
01:30:00,362 --> 01:30:01,897
the two best players
in the country...

1609
01:30:02,030 --> 01:30:04,600
Or will it? Even with the rumors

1610
01:30:04,733 --> 01:30:06,735
of a late-night deal
with LeMarcus James,

1611
01:30:06,869 --> 01:30:10,205
many oddsmakers still doubt
he will actually play tonight.

1612
01:30:10,338 --> 01:30:13,008
So the question is,
can James Lazor's Wolves

1613
01:30:13,141 --> 01:30:15,010
win without
their star quarterback?

1614
01:30:15,143 --> 01:30:16,612
I'm not so sure.

1615
01:30:16,745 --> 01:30:20,348
Well, yeah. He and LeMarcus
have the same mother.

1616
01:30:20,483 --> 01:30:22,284
Yeah, they both grew up
in Virginia.

1617
01:30:22,417 --> 01:30:25,454
Reggie, he played JUCO football,

1618
01:30:25,588 --> 01:30:27,289
but that fizzled out
after they cut him

1619
01:30:27,422 --> 01:30:29,424
for having too many concussions.

1620
01:30:29,558 --> 01:30:31,426
I would start
with the state prisons.

1621
01:30:31,560 --> 01:30:33,596
Even try
mental health facilities.

1622
01:30:33,729 --> 01:30:35,831
We need to do
a social media backdoor too.

1623
01:30:35,964 --> 01:30:37,766
I doubt that
he even has an account,

1624
01:30:37,900 --> 01:30:40,135
but we have got to find him.

1625
01:30:41,369 --> 01:30:43,138
He is our pressure point.

1626
01:30:43,271 --> 01:30:45,608
Oh. Coach.

1627
01:30:48,076 --> 01:30:49,645
I got your message.

1628
01:30:53,649 --> 01:30:55,951
This thing we're toying with,

1629
01:30:57,620 --> 01:30:59,922
it's Pandora's box, you know?

1630
01:31:01,123 --> 01:31:02,290
I know.

1631
01:31:02,424 --> 01:31:03,959
Nobody gets hurt.

1632
01:31:05,193 --> 01:31:06,662
Nobody goes to jail.

1633
01:31:06,795 --> 01:31:09,798
We just play this game.
That's what we all want.

1634
01:31:20,075 --> 01:31:22,110
Dear Lord,

1635
01:31:22,244 --> 01:31:25,313
the trees are thick, and we've yet
to see a path through the wilderness.

1636
01:31:26,849 --> 01:31:28,617
Send us a light.

1637
01:31:28,751 --> 01:31:30,953
Show us the way. Amen.

1638
01:31:31,086 --> 01:31:33,388
Amen.

1639
01:31:36,124 --> 01:31:39,327
I can't believe you've been here
this whole time and didn't tell us.

1640
01:31:39,461 --> 01:31:42,064
What? You thought I was
gonna miss the show?

1641
01:31:44,499 --> 01:31:45,901
I'm sorry.

1642
01:31:46,034 --> 01:31:48,170
No, hey, you don't
owe me anything.

1643
01:31:48,303 --> 01:31:50,703
You're the one, the two of you,
who had the guts and vision...

1644
01:31:50,806 --> 01:31:53,008
I meant about her.

1645
01:31:54,109 --> 01:31:56,178
Oh.

1646
01:31:56,311 --> 01:31:57,780
Yeah. Her.

1647
01:31:58,781 --> 01:31:59,982
Well...

1648
01:32:01,349 --> 01:32:03,451
I made my own bed
on that one, so...

1649
01:32:03,586 --> 01:32:05,888
"Thou shalt not commit adultery"

1650
01:32:06,021 --> 01:32:07,623
is the seventh Commandment.

1651
01:32:10,959 --> 01:32:13,361
Thank you
for clarifying that, Emmett.

1652
01:32:14,496 --> 01:32:16,164
You're welcome.

1653
01:32:16,298 --> 01:32:19,301
Look, Elliott,
we can't thank you enough, man.

1654
01:32:19,434 --> 01:32:22,137
Without you, we...

1655
01:32:22,270 --> 01:32:24,673
We wouldn't have even had
a shot to pull this off.

1656
01:32:26,508 --> 01:32:28,210
What's going on here?

1657
01:32:29,745 --> 01:32:31,614
Are we about to hold hands

1658
01:32:31,747 --> 01:32:33,849
and feel good
about your little protest?

1659
01:32:33,982 --> 01:32:36,551
'Cause I thought you guys
were in it to win it.

1660
01:32:36,685 --> 01:32:38,553
You know, as if it were, say,

1661
01:32:38,687 --> 01:32:41,123
the national title.

1662
01:32:46,695 --> 01:32:50,232
Let me give you a little something
I stumbled across from my travels.

1663
01:32:51,934 --> 01:32:54,436
I believe that's your coach's.

1664
01:32:55,604 --> 01:32:57,405
Wasn't even wrapped in aluminum.

1665
01:32:57,539 --> 01:32:59,875
Amateur move.

1666
01:33:01,644 --> 01:33:04,446
Yeah, but what's the point of this?
We can't unlock it.

1667
01:33:05,848 --> 01:33:08,784
Do you need to?
You know what's on it.

1668
01:33:10,252 --> 01:33:13,521
And you're a quarterback. You
know how to bluff the other team.

1669
01:33:19,327 --> 01:33:20,863
So you're saying we keep going?

1670
01:33:20,996 --> 01:33:22,464
That's not my decision.

1671
01:33:22,597 --> 01:33:24,967
It's not even
about which one is right.

1672
01:33:26,869 --> 01:33:29,537
It's about, which one are you
gonna be able to live with,

1673
01:33:29,672 --> 01:33:31,740
no matter how it goes,

1674
01:33:31,874 --> 01:33:34,009
how much you suffer
the consequences.

1675
01:33:37,112 --> 01:33:40,783
I'm just letting you know
you still have some options.

1676
01:33:40,916 --> 01:33:44,419
It's off to Rome for me,
comrades.

1677
01:33:44,552 --> 01:33:47,455
Wait, you ain't staying for the game?
Nah, opiate for the masses.

1678
01:33:47,589 --> 01:33:50,192
It's, like, too much
winning for my taste.

1679
01:33:53,495 --> 01:33:55,330
I'm so proud of you guys.

1680
01:33:57,132 --> 01:33:58,801
You did this.

1681
01:33:58,934 --> 01:34:01,169
You alone. And it was...

1682
01:34:03,571 --> 01:34:05,507
It was fucking magnificent.

1683
01:34:08,877 --> 01:34:10,645
Veni, vidi...

1684
01:34:10,779 --> 01:34:12,147
Vici. Vici.

1685
01:34:15,450 --> 01:34:16,685
Goddamn.

1686
01:34:16,819 --> 01:34:18,120
Well...

1687
01:34:19,755 --> 01:34:21,924
we're about due
for our surrender.

1688
01:34:23,058 --> 01:34:24,793
What you thinkin'?

1689
01:34:25,593 --> 01:34:27,162
I don't fucking know.

1690
01:34:28,130 --> 01:34:29,631
My head is pounding.

1691
01:34:29,765 --> 01:34:32,200
Where's that doc?

1692
01:34:32,334 --> 01:34:35,203
Yeah, I'll go get him. He
said he'd wait in the lobby.

1693
01:34:37,840 --> 01:34:39,474
Damn, you sick.

1694
01:34:39,607 --> 01:34:42,677
See if I can get you another IV.
I'll be back in ten.

1695
01:35:53,782 --> 01:35:57,285
As soon as he gets here, we'll
have the coach and him reunite,

1696
01:35:57,419 --> 01:36:01,123
uh, pleasantries, and then we'll
get right to inviting the media in.

1697
01:36:01,256 --> 01:36:03,758
I'll give them a few minutes.
They'll go off to play.

1698
01:36:05,627 --> 01:36:06,962
Here we go.

1699
01:36:09,531 --> 01:36:10,698
Hey!

1700
01:36:10,833 --> 01:36:13,268
LeMarcus has risen. There he is.

1701
01:36:13,401 --> 01:36:15,938
All right. Great to see you.

1702
01:36:16,071 --> 01:36:18,073
Can I get you something?
Some water? A Snickers?

1703
01:36:18,206 --> 01:36:20,075
I'm good, thanks.

1704
01:36:20,208 --> 01:36:22,644
You were a little under the
weather, but you're better now.

1705
01:36:22,777 --> 01:36:24,412
Yeah.

1706
01:36:24,546 --> 01:36:26,714
- That's good news.
- Not for us.

1707
01:36:28,283 --> 01:36:30,118
True.

1708
01:36:30,252 --> 01:36:32,220
Um, I just wanted to, uh,

1709
01:36:32,354 --> 01:36:34,489
get us to have
a little face-to-face

1710
01:36:34,622 --> 01:36:36,258
before we bring
the cameras in here.

1711
01:36:36,391 --> 01:36:38,260
I was just telling
the coach here

1712
01:36:38,393 --> 01:36:40,762
how impressed I was
with, uh, your conduct.

1713
01:36:40,896 --> 01:36:42,130
Very honorable.

1714
01:36:43,231 --> 01:36:44,599
LeMarcus.

1715
01:36:44,732 --> 01:36:46,501
The team is back.

1716
01:36:47,569 --> 01:36:49,371
They heard
about this deal, and...

1717
01:36:50,338 --> 01:36:51,874
everybody else is playin' this.

1718
01:36:52,007 --> 01:36:53,475
It's just you and Emmett now.

1719
01:36:53,608 --> 01:36:57,212
These gentlemen are
giving you a committee,

1720
01:36:57,345 --> 01:37:00,315
and they are gonna address
all of your grievances.

1721
01:37:01,616 --> 01:37:02,951
So,

1722
01:37:03,818 --> 01:37:06,188
time to put on those pads,

1723
01:37:06,321 --> 01:37:08,123
join your brothers,
and do battle.

1724
01:37:09,124 --> 01:37:10,692
Everybody's countin' on you.

1725
01:37:12,427 --> 01:37:14,362
I'm countin' on you.

1726
01:37:17,799 --> 01:37:19,667
You know, I assure you,
LeMarcus,

1727
01:37:19,801 --> 01:37:21,603
this isn't
a ceremonial committee.

1728
01:37:21,736 --> 01:37:23,838
We're gonna dig down
into these issues

1729
01:37:23,972 --> 01:37:26,875
and figure out
what's best for all of us.

1730
01:37:29,744 --> 01:37:31,346
All right?

1731
01:37:31,479 --> 01:37:33,548
Like the coach said,
we have a game to play.

1732
01:37:33,681 --> 01:37:35,683
Let's get the cameras in...
I didn't say yes.

1733
01:37:37,019 --> 01:37:38,720
What's that?

1734
01:37:39,654 --> 01:37:40,989
I didn't say yes.

1735
01:37:47,662 --> 01:37:49,564
What would it take in your mind

1736
01:37:50,465 --> 01:37:52,400
to get to yes?

1737
01:37:54,569 --> 01:37:56,704
Well, our demands
haven't changed.

1738
01:38:32,207 --> 01:38:34,109
That's the sealed case file

1739
01:38:34,242 --> 01:38:36,544
from that fateful night
at the Gin Mill.

1740
01:38:39,314 --> 01:38:43,085
The detectives investigated
for two weeks, and then...

1741
01:38:44,786 --> 01:38:49,257
suddenly, K.C. Walton
decided to drop the charges.

1742
01:38:55,597 --> 01:38:58,500
A lot of movin' pieces
in there, LeMarcus.

1743
01:38:59,467 --> 01:39:01,303
This thing is a minefield.

1744
01:39:03,105 --> 01:39:05,407
- You find my brother yet?
- Getting close.

1745
01:39:05,540 --> 01:39:09,644
I'd really love to stop the
search and just have a beer,

1746
01:39:10,778 --> 01:39:12,514
watch a football game.

1747
01:39:16,118 --> 01:39:18,253
Well, why don't
we tell 'em, Coach?

1748
01:39:19,587 --> 01:39:21,123
We're a wolf pack, right?

1749
01:39:23,091 --> 01:39:24,993
We hunt together,
we starve alone.

1750
01:39:25,127 --> 01:39:26,894
Ain't that the creed
you always preach?

1751
01:39:27,029 --> 01:39:30,465
Why don't we tell everybody
how high up this really goes?

1752
01:39:30,598 --> 01:39:32,500
Stop. Just stop.

1753
01:39:32,634 --> 01:39:35,570
Look, you come out of this now,

1754
01:39:35,703 --> 01:39:37,939
you're not just
a Heisman Trophy winner,

1755
01:39:38,073 --> 01:39:40,008
NFL first-rounder.

1756
01:39:41,576 --> 01:39:44,812
You're an icon now. You've
already accomplished that.

1757
01:39:44,946 --> 01:39:47,949
You're the Curt Flood
of collegiate athletics.

1758
01:39:49,117 --> 01:39:51,286
You're making
history here already.

1759
01:39:51,419 --> 01:39:53,121
They're gonna write books
about you.

1760
01:39:53,255 --> 01:39:55,557
Now, don't throw
everything away for-for

1761
01:39:55,690 --> 01:39:58,193
whatever this
self-righteous bullshit is.

1762
01:39:58,326 --> 01:39:59,961
Come on, man.
You've worked too hard.

1763
01:40:01,463 --> 01:40:03,798
We've worked too hard for this.

1764
01:40:04,832 --> 01:40:07,001
Let's just go
fuckin' win this thing.

1765
01:40:10,272 --> 01:40:11,306
Win.

1766
01:40:13,175 --> 01:40:15,410
That's all that
really matters, right?

1767
01:40:17,145 --> 01:40:18,613
Just win.

1768
01:40:20,182 --> 01:40:22,117
So that's what I did.

1769
01:40:22,250 --> 01:40:24,519
I won every damn game I could.

1770
01:40:25,953 --> 01:40:27,789
Conference championships,

1771
01:40:27,922 --> 01:40:30,458
Heisman Trophy...
I won and I won and I won.

1772
01:40:30,592 --> 01:40:35,029
Until you were so blind, you didn't
even see the game I was really playin'.

1773
01:40:35,163 --> 01:40:37,465
You see,
in order to slay Goliath,

1774
01:40:37,599 --> 01:40:40,402
you gotta do it on the biggest
stage with the brightest lights.

1775
01:40:40,535 --> 01:40:42,970
Millions of people,
an entire system,

1776
01:40:43,105 --> 01:40:45,907
so desperate for one more win,

1777
01:40:46,040 --> 01:40:47,675
they'd do anything,
give anything.

1778
01:40:47,809 --> 01:40:50,512
No matter how many bodies
you gotta stand on top of.

1779
01:40:51,646 --> 01:40:53,915
And then you got your professor

1780
01:40:54,048 --> 01:40:55,750
who's fuckin'
the coach's wife...

1781
01:40:58,019 --> 01:40:59,754
to give you everything you need.

1782
01:41:01,856 --> 01:41:03,591
And you win.

1783
01:41:03,725 --> 01:41:05,960
You motherfucker!

1784
01:41:06,094 --> 01:41:08,730
You ungrateful bi...
Coach, don't do it.

1785
01:41:08,863 --> 01:41:11,699
Goddamn you,
you fucking ungrateful...

1786
01:41:12,900 --> 01:41:15,870
Jesus fucking Christ, LeMarcus.

1787
01:41:16,003 --> 01:41:18,940
My wife! My wife!

1788
01:41:22,644 --> 01:41:24,412
Oh, my God.

1789
01:41:29,817 --> 01:41:33,255
Jesus Christ, man. Everything
we've been through together...

1790
01:41:35,423 --> 01:41:37,559
everything I've done for you...

1791
01:41:40,228 --> 01:41:43,198
You were a pimply faced
little 16-year-old boy,

1792
01:41:44,566 --> 01:41:46,601
scared to leave home.

1793
01:41:48,770 --> 01:41:51,139
And I looked your mother
in the eyes,

1794
01:41:51,273 --> 01:41:54,342
and I said, "I will
take care of your boy."

1795
01:41:54,476 --> 01:41:56,644
And that's what I've done.

1796
01:41:59,814 --> 01:42:01,616
Treated you like my own.

1797
01:42:03,251 --> 01:42:05,086
Like my own son.

1798
01:42:10,492 --> 01:42:12,126
How could you...

1799
01:42:13,895 --> 01:42:15,763
Goddamn, LeMarcus.

1800
01:42:15,897 --> 01:42:17,932
Why?

1801
01:42:22,637 --> 01:42:24,606
For all the ones to come, Coach.

1802
01:42:25,940 --> 01:42:27,842
The ones who ain't as fortunate.

1803
01:42:29,611 --> 01:42:31,679
Get this broken system unbroken.

1804
01:42:33,981 --> 01:42:35,917
So no more of us get banged up

1805
01:42:36,050 --> 01:42:38,186
and forced back into poverty,

1806
01:42:39,554 --> 01:42:41,589
just like what happened
to Reggie.

1807
01:42:44,459 --> 01:42:48,129
You were the only one
who knew about that file.

1808
01:42:48,263 --> 01:42:51,466
And you stoop even lower, and
you bring Reggie into this?

1809
01:42:53,000 --> 01:42:54,902
What, to you he's just...

1810
01:42:55,036 --> 01:42:57,639
he's just some pawn
that you can use against me?

1811
01:43:00,007 --> 01:43:01,643
He was my brother.

1812
01:43:04,479 --> 01:43:06,180
He was a human being.

1813
01:43:09,551 --> 01:43:12,920
Reggie died four months ago
in Tallahassee.

1814
01:43:15,022 --> 01:43:16,324
He took his own life.

1815
01:43:16,458 --> 01:43:19,261
Oh, Jesus. Fuck.

1816
01:43:19,394 --> 01:43:22,230
Y'all didn't know. And what's
worse, y'all don't even care.

1817
01:43:24,332 --> 01:43:26,167
There's always
some new batch of kids

1818
01:43:26,301 --> 01:43:29,036
that get you more wins
and get you more money.

1819
01:43:33,007 --> 01:43:34,342
I am not your son.

1820
01:43:35,810 --> 01:43:37,144
I'm a man.

1821
01:43:42,984 --> 01:43:44,419
Yeah, you are.

1822
01:43:49,524 --> 01:43:51,158
And I love you.

1823
01:43:56,097 --> 01:43:58,132
But I got
a football game to win.

1824
01:44:12,380 --> 01:44:14,416
Gentlemen, um,

1825
01:44:14,549 --> 01:44:16,250
would you step out for a minute?

1826
01:44:17,385 --> 01:44:18,886
Give us some time?

1827
01:44:39,374 --> 01:44:42,910
You open up that minefield, it's
gonna be more than just me and Reggie.

1828
01:44:44,178 --> 01:44:45,780
On Coach's phone, we got emails

1829
01:44:45,913 --> 01:44:48,049
from prosecutors,
law enforcement.

1830
01:44:48,182 --> 01:44:50,718
All of 'em were involved
in the cover-up.

1831
01:44:50,852 --> 01:44:53,087
Shoot, even the governor

1832
01:44:53,220 --> 01:44:55,623
chest bumps in the
locker room on game day.

1833
01:44:57,392 --> 01:45:00,862
Coach's phone, you'll find a text
where he promises to take care of it.

1834
01:45:05,633 --> 01:45:07,001
The martyr.

1835
01:45:08,336 --> 01:45:10,838
Willing to die for the cause.

1836
01:45:10,972 --> 01:45:13,675
I find that courageous.
Admirable.

1837
01:45:15,076 --> 01:45:17,679
But what about Emmett Sunday?

1838
01:45:18,813 --> 01:45:21,015
You said you were
doing this for him.

1839
01:45:22,750 --> 01:45:24,151
Miss Poe?

1840
01:45:37,665 --> 01:45:40,935
"It was chaos.
People everywhere."

1841
01:45:41,068 --> 01:45:44,005
Then all of a sudden, LeMarcus
James, the quarterback,

1842
01:45:44,138 --> 01:45:46,974
showed up with someone else.

1843
01:45:48,510 --> 01:45:52,146
A big guy.
It was really dangerous.

1844
01:45:52,279 --> 01:45:54,181
Then the big white guy

1845
01:45:55,583 --> 01:45:58,052
flew through the crowd
and hit one guy

1846
01:45:58,185 --> 01:46:01,355
who dropped like he was dead and
threw another guy into a wall.

1847
01:46:01,489 --> 01:46:04,659
LeMarcus grabbed the man
the crew were beating on,

1848
01:46:04,792 --> 01:46:06,428
and everyone ran.

1849
01:46:07,629 --> 01:46:10,231
Like I said, it was chaos."
That was self-defense.

1850
01:46:11,332 --> 01:46:13,401
Maybe so. Maybe so.

1851
01:46:14,402 --> 01:46:15,703
But does it matter?

1852
01:46:17,238 --> 01:46:19,707
We go down this road,

1853
01:46:19,841 --> 01:46:21,909
they won't be putting you
on trial,

1854
01:46:22,043 --> 01:46:24,712
they'll be putting
your best friend, Emmett.

1855
01:46:25,847 --> 01:46:29,216
Now, do you have the stomach
to watch the sharks

1856
01:46:29,350 --> 01:46:31,486
rip him apart limb by limb

1857
01:46:31,619 --> 01:46:35,022
in front of the whole world
and leave him destroyed,

1858
01:46:35,156 --> 01:46:36,323
canceled?

1859
01:46:38,392 --> 01:46:40,512
LeMarcus, you're standing
toe-to-toe with the behemoth,

1860
01:46:40,562 --> 01:46:42,564
and we haven't even
begun to fight.

1861
01:46:44,532 --> 01:46:46,768
College football is more
important than you,

1862
01:46:46,901 --> 01:46:48,870
me, Emmett,

1863
01:46:49,003 --> 01:46:51,038
or whatever really is
on that phone.

1864
01:46:52,674 --> 01:46:54,676
The American people

1865
01:46:54,809 --> 01:46:57,111
will let the state of
Missouri fall under the sea

1866
01:46:57,244 --> 01:46:58,846
rather than give up
Saturday afternoon,

1867
01:46:58,980 --> 01:47:00,682
drunk and roaring
for their alma mater.

1868
01:47:02,950 --> 01:47:04,952
We're inevitable as the rain.

1869
01:47:12,426 --> 01:47:14,662
Now, you gonna put
on that helmet or not?

1870
01:47:29,276 --> 01:47:32,547
Gearing up for the college
football national title game.

1871
01:47:32,680 --> 01:47:34,381
The fans are buzzing
with excitement...

1872
01:47:34,516 --> 01:47:37,151
"Inevitable"? Like what?

1873
01:47:38,553 --> 01:47:39,887
The rain.

1874
01:47:41,723 --> 01:47:44,091
"I'm inevitable as the rain."

1875
01:47:46,360 --> 01:47:48,630
Feels powerful. Mm-hmm.

1876
01:47:48,763 --> 01:47:50,397
It was.

1877
01:47:58,205 --> 01:48:01,142
Gonna have to drain the fluid
out of this damn thing again.

1878
01:48:04,912 --> 01:48:07,381
You look better. Lighter.

1879
01:48:07,515 --> 01:48:09,450
Finally breathe through my nose.

1880
01:48:10,618 --> 01:48:13,821
By the way,
that Doc Holliday head fake,

1881
01:48:13,955 --> 01:48:16,658
you playing like you were on
your deathbed, was sure good.

1882
01:48:19,594 --> 01:48:23,064
Lacked the nuance of Kilmer,
but, uh, I bought it.

1883
01:48:24,031 --> 01:48:25,667
I'll be your Huckleberry.

1884
01:48:34,609 --> 01:48:36,844
You sure they didn't try
to use me against you?

1885
01:48:36,978 --> 01:48:38,179
Nah.

1886
01:48:39,614 --> 01:48:41,282
I swear.

1887
01:48:41,415 --> 01:48:43,517
'Cause if I find out
that you were...

1888
01:48:43,651 --> 01:48:45,219
Trust me.

1889
01:48:45,352 --> 01:48:48,155
They know this fight hurts them
way more than it hurts us.

1890
01:48:48,289 --> 01:48:52,026
All those people involved in the
cover-up, they ain't doin' shit.

1891
01:48:52,159 --> 01:48:55,362
The Superdome in New Orleans is
ready to explode with excitement.

1892
01:48:55,496 --> 01:48:58,299
Tonight, it's the Snickers
National Title game.

1893
01:48:58,432 --> 01:49:00,167
Hi, everybody, and good evening.

1894
01:49:00,301 --> 01:49:02,236
I'm Steve Levy,
along with Malcolm Jenkins,

1895
01:49:02,369 --> 01:49:03,838
and this one has
all the makings.

1896
01:49:03,971 --> 01:49:05,539
This could be a classic. No.

1897
01:49:05,673 --> 01:49:07,184
We're talking about
for years to come...

1898
01:49:07,208 --> 01:49:09,443
Leave it. ...for a
variety of reasons.

1899
01:49:09,577 --> 01:49:11,378
A lot of the controversy
still looms

1900
01:49:11,512 --> 01:49:13,581
with LeMarcus James bein'
missin' from the action,

1901
01:49:13,715 --> 01:49:16,350
as he continues his fight
against the NCAA practices,

1902
01:49:16,483 --> 01:49:18,862
a stance that has gone crazy on
social media... Whoo. Yes, sir.

1903
01:49:18,886 --> 01:49:20,622
With the viral hashtag,
"Fix the System."

1904
01:49:20,755 --> 01:49:22,790
How about one million tweets

1905
01:49:22,924 --> 01:49:24,959
the last 12 hours alone?

1906
01:49:25,092 --> 01:49:27,428
My sense is,
this is only the beginning.

1907
01:49:27,561 --> 01:49:31,132
How do you think that translates on to the
field the next 60 minutes we'll see tonight?

1908
01:49:31,265 --> 01:49:33,546
I think you'll see these coaches
have these teams prepared.

1909
01:49:33,601 --> 01:49:35,512
These players have worked
so hard to get to this moment,

1910
01:49:35,536 --> 01:49:37,071
that I think
they'll be focused...

1911
01:49:37,204 --> 01:49:38,773
At least we made
some noise, right?

1912
01:49:38,906 --> 01:49:40,775
Knowing that
this is everything...

1913
01:49:40,908 --> 01:49:42,744
Oh, that wasn't just noise.

1914
01:49:44,145 --> 01:49:46,247
The truth is out now
because of us.

1915
01:49:47,414 --> 01:49:48,950
And they can't hide it.

1916
01:49:50,317 --> 01:49:52,920
Now more people are gonna
stand up, a lot more.

1917
01:49:54,021 --> 01:49:56,523
And they'll know
right where to hit 'em.

1918
01:49:57,591 --> 01:49:58,760
Yeah.

1919
01:50:00,662 --> 01:50:01,763
Yeah.

1920
01:50:02,596 --> 01:50:03,931
Hell, yeah.

1921
01:50:04,065 --> 01:50:06,734
Man, we're like the Rebels
in Rogue One.

1922
01:50:09,370 --> 01:50:11,906
We die on the beach,

1923
01:50:12,039 --> 01:50:15,142
but the plans for the Death
Star make it off the island.

1924
01:50:23,217 --> 01:50:25,486
Nothing is inevitable
except the truth.

1925
01:50:42,069 --> 01:50:44,138
♫ If I go down ♫

1926
01:50:44,271 --> 01:50:46,741

1935
01:51:06,593 --> 01:51:09,463
♫ Piece of the pie
Something foreign to drop ♫

1936

♫ Came from the bottom
The slums ♫

tried to put on me Was never enough ♫

called me A son of a gun ♫
