This is the Dan Levitar Show with the Stugatz Podcast.

Speaking of the time travel genre, Al Horford going back in the Wayback Machine to, it was four days ago, but I still think it's worth celebrating when Al Horford pulls out a game against Kawhi and the Clippers late because he won't stop making threes. But that's it. You got nothing, Zazz. You're just not interested. His season's over. Who cares? But Al Horford went, you said you're always interested in time machine movies and prison movies. You said you're always interested. That was going back in the time machine.

How does Ryan Day propose to change College Football?

Amin Elhassan 0:40
No.
Unknown 0:41
No, I'm not interested. Okay.
Stugatz 0:43
No. I appreciate all the help with that.
Unknown 0:45
My wife was like, who's that guy? And I was like, oh, babe, that's Al Horford. She's like, really? I was like, yeah. She's like, I remember him somewhere else. I was like, yeah, he's a warrior now. Our Dominican prince. It was dumb that he left Boston.
Amin Elhassan 0:57
Agreed. Why'd he leave? He's home doing nothing. Unless you wanted to be home doing nothing at, you know, the end of April.
Unknown 1:05
I'd like to be home doing nothing.
Amin Elhassan 1:07
Dumb decision.
Stugatz 1:08
Then why take four jobs, Jeremy?

What are Amin Elhassan's Weekend Observations?

Stugatz 1:10
I mean, whose fault is that? I have to pay bills, Sam. Okay, but you don't need to have four jobs if you want to be home doing nothing. You can't just be home doing nothing.
Unknown 1:17
Live in poverty, Jeremy. I could have one job if the one job paid me enough to not have four jobs. Oh, you've got to be shitting me. Bad in arbitration.
Stugatz 1:24
I didn't like that. That's why I started arbitration. It's just not true at all. Okay, Jeremy, you want to be full-time? You'd have to give up some of your other jobs.
Unknown 1:32
No more Emmys. Congrats. You're a back row guy now.
Stugatz 1:34
All right. If you want to be full time, you're going to have to give up all your other gigs because you can't be working for everybody while wanting to be home alone, not doing anything.
Mike Ryan 1:45
I don't know if anybody ever feels the effect of the other ones. It just brings something to this show.

Why did Al Horford's recent performance matter?

Stugatz 1:50
What did you bring last segment to our show? We couldn't even hear you.
Unknown 1:53
And were you stretching there? What happened there? Just, you know, just stretching out.
Stugatz 1:57
The draft on Thursday is something that we're doing a live show for, and I don't know if you guys saw this. I think it was Kevin Clark that Ryan Day said this to. He wants a college draft. Anytime that these guys can't fix their costs, they want to get the costs under control by creating a draft because a draft is, you know, hugely unfair to the participants.
How?
Unknown 2:18
How would that be good for Ryan Day, who's usually in the top of wins throughout every single year? Is he going to pick 22nd in the draft, 232nd in the draft?
Stugatz 2:27
What are we doing? I don't know that he has necessarily thought it through, but as a solution when it comes to business, fixed costs is always something that people are looking for, and it's what the draft offers you. I don't know what you guys took from the DeMora Smith interview that we did when he was in studio, but one of the things that he said that I thought was interesting was, I'm saying to him, how would all of the sports business be different if there weren't a salary cap? And his response was the owners would collude and they wouldn't have either a floor or a ceiling. They would just collude. I don't think that's what would happen. I think one owner would get carried away and have to get the quarterback.

What are the implications of the NFL draft and fixed costs?

Stugatz 3:05
But in the case of Lamar Jackson, no one bit. It is surprising to me that no one cares that that was obvious collusion, that the MVP of the league was available at the most important position and nobody signed up to want him.
Amin Elhassan 3:18
Why aren't more fans mad with their teams that they didn't go get Lamar Jackson?
Stugatz 3:24
Well, the Dolphins would be a good example.
Amin Elhassan 3:26
Why weren't we mad? I mean, at the time, no. Tua was there.
Unknown 3:31
You had Tua.
Amin Elhassan 3:31
Yeah, I guess that plays a part.
Unknown 3:33
Yeah, you had collusion and Tua's ascension happening at the same time.
Amin Elhassan 3:37
Okay, but like every other team that didn't have a quarterback, it's got to be half the league. Why aren't their fan base like so mad they didn't go get Lord Jackson?
Stugatz 3:44
Do you agree with DeMora Smith's contention, though?
