Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:06,072 --> 00:00:07,507
Sports used to be great,
2
00:00:07,574 --> 00:00:08,575
you know what I mean?
3
00:00:08,641 --> 00:00:10,210
There was a certain
purity about it.
4
00:00:10,276 --> 00:00:12,879
It was the last
Bastian of discipline.
5
00:00:12,946 --> 00:00:16,549
There was players hitting,
wanting to play, doing anything.
6
00:00:16,616 --> 00:00:19,152
And then, you know
what screwed it up?
7
00:00:19,219 --> 00:00:21,254
Along came agents.
8
00:00:21,321 --> 00:00:25,158
And then agents
were with the players.
9
00:00:25,225 --> 00:00:26,585
And instead of
the players talking,
10
00:00:26,626 --> 00:00:28,228
you had to talk to the agent.
11
00:00:28,294 --> 00:00:30,463
And then agents had agents.
12
00:00:30,530 --> 00:00:32,899
And then as the
agents started up here,
13
00:00:32,966 --> 00:00:35,902
they started going lower
and lower and lower.
14
00:00:35,969 --> 00:00:37,837
Then they finally got to Arliss.
15
00:00:37,904 --> 00:00:40,507
Now you talk about
the lowest of the low.
16
00:00:40,573 --> 00:00:44,444
- Arliss, he screwed up not only basketball, baseball.
- (Arliss mumbles)
17
00:00:44,511 --> 00:00:45,812
He screwed up football... What?
18
00:00:45,879 --> 00:00:47,656
- How are you, man? Great to see you.
- Oh, hi, Arliss.
19
00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:49,191
- Hey, look...
- I was just talking about football.
20
00:00:49,215 --> 00:00:50,759
Oh, I wanted to thank
you for those nice words
21
00:00:50,783 --> 00:00:52,719
you said about me on
the network the other day.
22
00:00:52,785 --> 00:00:53,987
I really appreciate that.
23
00:00:54,053 --> 00:00:56,756
Well, you know, if it
weren't for people like you...
24
00:00:56,823 --> 00:01:00,193
then I don't know where
this sport would be.
25
00:01:05,565 --> 00:01:07,367
Arliss: For most of us,
26
00:01:07,433 --> 00:01:09,536
the dream of
becoming a champion,
27
00:01:09,602 --> 00:01:12,572
remains a fantasy,
28
00:01:12,639 --> 00:01:14,440
but for a special few,
29
00:01:14,507 --> 00:01:17,176
it is very much a reality.
30
00:01:17,243 --> 00:01:18,411
We cheer them,
31
00:01:18,478 --> 00:01:19,913
we live through them.
32
00:01:19,979 --> 00:01:22,715
Athletes are our last warriors.
33
00:01:22,782 --> 00:01:26,319
My job is to make
their dreams come true.
34
00:01:28,087 --> 00:01:30,223
My name is Arliss Michaels,
35
00:01:30,290 --> 00:01:32,058
I represent athletes,
36
00:01:32,125 --> 00:01:33,760
these are my stories.

00:02:18,204 --> 00:02:20,907
The Super Bowl
Sunday for sports agents
50
00:02:20,974 --> 00:02:22,875
is on a Saturday in April.
51
00:02:22,942 --> 00:02:24,620
That's the day the
National Football League
52
00:02:24,644 --> 00:02:26,045
holds its annual draft.
53
00:02:26,112 --> 00:02:27,947
Man: Standing by in
the players' waiting area.
54
00:02:28,014 --> 00:02:29,115
And I'm Stuart Scott,
55
00:02:29,182 --> 00:02:30,793
and I'm here with Matt
Cartwright and his family,
56
00:02:30,817 --> 00:02:32,785
where the big offensive tackle
57
00:02:32,852 --> 00:02:34,897
is one of two players
Cleveland is considering taking
58
00:02:34,921 --> 00:02:36,689
with the first pick.
You gotta be at least...
59
00:02:36,756 --> 00:02:41,661
Arliss: Actually, the countdown
to d-day begins years before.
60
00:02:41,728 --> 00:02:45,231
Fortunately, I have
a former player
61
00:02:45,298 --> 00:02:47,066
and first round draft pick
62
00:02:47,133 --> 00:02:48,267
who has been there.
63
00:02:48,334 --> 00:02:49,569
Hey, Swampy.
64
00:02:49,636 --> 00:02:50,703
Hey.
65
00:02:50,770 --> 00:02:52,705
So...
66
00:02:52,772 --> 00:02:55,141
Tell me about Matt Cartwright.
67
00:02:55,208 --> 00:02:56,876
He's a stud hog.
68
00:02:56,943 --> 00:02:59,054
Coaches think he's gonna
be the starting offensive tackle
69
00:02:59,078 --> 00:03:00,413
as a true freshman.
70
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:01,981
Why don't you, um...
71
00:03:03,549 --> 00:03:05,818
put in a good word for me?
72
00:03:05,885 --> 00:03:09,088
Another penny
and I'll put in two.
73
00:03:09,155 --> 00:03:13,059
Arliss: The NCAA has strict
rules about contacting athletes.
74
00:03:13,126 --> 00:03:15,194
Other agents break these rules,
75
00:03:15,261 --> 00:03:16,896
but never us.
76
00:03:16,963 --> 00:03:18,998
We believe an athletes
college career is precious,
77
00:03:19,065 --> 00:03:21,234
a time to treasure.
78
00:03:22,969 --> 00:03:25,014
Announcer: With four seconds
left, and two points down,
79
00:03:25,038 --> 00:03:28,307
this 43-yard field goal
attempt will be for the win.
80
00:03:30,276 --> 00:03:32,245
The kick is up...
81
00:03:32,311 --> 00:03:33,346
(crowd groans)
82
00:03:33,347 --> 00:03:34,380
It's no good!
83
00:03:34,447 --> 00:03:37,483
Arliss: My people wait until
well after a player's last game
84
00:03:37,550 --> 00:03:39,285
before approaching him,
85
00:03:39,352 --> 00:03:40,887
unlike other agents.
86
00:03:40,953 --> 00:03:42,855
That was a tough loss, Matt.
87
00:03:42,922 --> 00:03:46,726
Mike Armstrong,
great to see you Matt.
88
00:03:46,793 --> 00:03:48,033
You're wasting your time, Mike.
89
00:03:48,094 --> 00:03:49,796
Arliss already signed him.
90
00:03:49,862 --> 00:03:51,397
Arliss?
91
00:03:51,464 --> 00:03:53,166
Arliss signed you?
92
00:03:53,232 --> 00:03:54,267
Yeah.
93
00:03:54,333 --> 00:03:55,735
Over two years...
94
00:03:55,802 --> 00:03:58,705
Just before he left.
95
00:03:58,771 --> 00:04:00,506
Just be careful, Matt.
96
00:04:00,573 --> 00:04:02,241
Watch yourself or
you could end up
97
00:04:02,308 --> 00:04:05,645
like Arliss' first number
one draft choice.
98
00:04:05,712 --> 00:04:07,213
His name escapes
me for the moment,
99
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:09,515
but he was a quarterback.
100
00:04:09,582 --> 00:04:12,018
Went to Cal, I believe.
101
00:04:12,085 --> 00:04:14,620
He got hurt, pissed
all of his money away.
102
00:04:14,687 --> 00:04:16,923
You see that's what happens
when you have an agent
103
00:04:16,989 --> 00:04:18,825
Who really doesn't
care about you
104
00:04:18,891 --> 00:04:20,927
after your playing
days are over.
105
00:04:20,993 --> 00:04:23,796
Well, have a good day,
106
00:04:23,863 --> 00:04:26,566
gentlemen.
107
00:04:26,632 --> 00:04:28,501
(laughs)
108
00:04:32,538 --> 00:04:34,240
Don't listen to him.
109
00:04:35,374 --> 00:04:36,509
I'm not.
110
00:04:37,510 --> 00:04:39,479
C'mon, I'll take
you out for dinner.
111
00:04:39,545 --> 00:04:40,613
You're driving.
112
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:41,824
Kirby, I didn't bring my car.
113
00:04:41,848 --> 00:04:43,116
Oh, yes, you did.
114
00:04:43,182 --> 00:04:44,717
(alarm chirps)
115
00:04:44,784 --> 00:04:46,452
Your brand new Lexus.
116
00:04:46,519 --> 00:04:48,521
Whoo! Kirby, yes!
117
00:04:48,588 --> 00:04:50,123
Huh?
118
00:04:51,991 --> 00:04:53,502
I think it would be
a good idea for you
119
00:04:53,526 --> 00:04:54,861
to enter the draft in April.
120
00:04:54,927 --> 00:04:56,796
I don't know if I'm
ready for the pros yet.
121
00:04:56,863 --> 00:04:59,365
I may need my sophomore
year to get seasoned.
122
00:04:59,432 --> 00:05:02,335
Ah, seasoning is for
chefs, not running backs.
123
00:05:02,401 --> 00:05:05,404
Kirby: Hey, Stanley,
let's get a bite.
124
00:05:05,471 --> 00:05:08,040
Arliss: Unfortunately,
as much as we believe
125
00:05:08,107 --> 00:05:09,542
in a college education,
126
00:05:09,609 --> 00:05:11,611
there are others from
the school of hard knocks
127
00:05:11,677 --> 00:05:13,679
who are stepping
into the picture.
128
00:05:13,746 --> 00:05:15,915
I speak of the
Johnny-come-latelys
129
00:05:15,982 --> 00:05:18,818
with their fancy
cars and clever rap.
130
00:05:18,885 --> 00:05:20,419
Hey, that's T-Bag.
131
00:05:21,754 --> 00:05:23,322
As I was saying,
you don't need school.
132
00:05:23,389 --> 00:05:24,557
Hold on.
133
00:05:24,624 --> 00:05:27,794
Mr. Bag, my name
is Jermaine Lankford.
134
00:05:27,860 --> 00:05:29,128
I'm a big fan.
135
00:05:29,195 --> 00:05:30,663
Yeah, sure, sure, hey,
136
00:05:30,730 --> 00:05:32,165
I love the way you run, dog.
137
00:05:32,231 --> 00:05:34,109
Hey, is it true that you're
going into sports management?
138
00:05:34,133 --> 00:05:36,068
Ah, ah, ah! He merely dabbles.
139
00:05:36,135 --> 00:05:39,639
We here at AMM are exclusively
involved in sports management.
140
00:05:39,705 --> 00:05:40,907
Wait, listen.
141
00:05:40,973 --> 00:05:42,117
I'm in need of representation.
142
00:05:42,141 --> 00:05:43,442
Oh, whoa, whoa,
whoa. Whoa, whoa.
143
00:05:43,509 --> 00:05:44,853
Let me talk to you
for a minute, dog.
144
00:05:44,877 --> 00:05:47,022
Hey, you need to kill that
noise, you know what I'm saying?
145
00:05:47,046 --> 00:05:48,357
- I mean, you a freshman, right?
- Yeah.
146
00:05:48,381 --> 00:05:50,316
You got time, man,
get that education.
147
00:05:50,383 --> 00:05:51,627
Yeah, man, but
Stanley here says...
148
00:05:51,651 --> 00:05:52,585
No, no, listen to me.
149
00:05:52,652 --> 00:05:54,020
Stanley works
for Arliss Michaels.
150
00:05:54,086 --> 00:05:55,531
Them brothers would
sign my two-year-old boy
151
00:05:55,555 --> 00:05:56,765
if he had a cross-over dribble.
152
00:05:56,789 --> 00:05:58,634
- You know what I'm saying? You feel me?
- (laughs)
153
00:05:58,658 --> 00:06:00,269
Now I know you heard
my hit song, "Born Fresh,"
154
00:06:00,293 --> 00:06:01,460
'cause they be playin' it.
155
00:06:01,527 --> 00:06:03,572
I step up on the scene like
my man Turbo's break routine.
156
00:06:03,596 --> 00:06:06,232
Taking a stick harder than
Nell Carter in stretch jeans.
157
00:06:06,299 --> 00:06:08,568
West coast, bow
down, kiss my pinky ring.
158
00:06:08,634 --> 00:06:09,902
(laughs)
159
00:06:09,969 --> 00:06:12,104
Tell it exactly, got
to stay in school.
160
00:06:12,171 --> 00:06:13,840
Call me back
when you're a junior.
161
00:06:15,341 --> 00:06:16,809
Arliss: Though a
lot of pseudo-agents
162
00:06:16,876 --> 00:06:18,811
are now sticking
their toes in the water,
163
00:06:18,878 --> 00:06:21,447
I say the more, the merrier.
164
00:06:22,448 --> 00:06:23,683
You're signing with T-Bag?
165
00:06:23,749 --> 00:06:25,017
That's right, sorry.
166
00:06:25,084 --> 00:06:27,887
Oh, no. Randy Moss is
leaving me for a musician?
167
00:06:27,954 --> 00:06:29,155
Look, I need someone
168
00:06:29,222 --> 00:06:30,756
who can offer me
cultural identity.
169
00:06:30,823 --> 00:06:32,568
Someone who understands
where I'm coming from.
170
00:06:32,592 --> 00:06:33,936
I understand where
you're coming from.
171
00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:35,194
Hell, I helped get you there.
172
00:06:35,261 --> 00:06:37,063
Something wrong with you?
173
00:06:37,129 --> 00:06:38,231
I gotta go.
174
00:06:38,297 --> 00:06:41,033
T-Bag has booked me for
a recording session at noon.
175
00:06:41,100 --> 00:06:42,602
Randy, Randy, listen.
176
00:06:42,668 --> 00:06:44,170
Hey, Arliss, hi, Randy.
177
00:06:44,237 --> 00:06:47,073
Randy, don't go, don't go!
178
00:06:47,139 --> 00:06:49,442
I hope you didn't
validate his parking.
179
00:06:49,508 --> 00:06:51,477
We don't validate
anyone's parking.
180
00:06:51,544 --> 00:06:52,845
(moans softly)
181
00:06:52,912 --> 00:06:54,247
What the hell are you doing?
182
00:06:54,313 --> 00:06:55,948
You look like gentle Ben.
183
00:06:56,015 --> 00:06:58,084
Rita, shit, call Dr. Irv.
184
00:06:58,150 --> 00:06:59,585
I'm breaking out in hives.
185
00:06:59,652 --> 00:07:00,820
It's gotta be...
186
00:07:00,887 --> 00:07:02,021
Chicken pox?
187
00:07:02,088 --> 00:07:04,690
That's right. You obviously
never had them as a child.
188
00:07:04,757 --> 00:07:07,360
But I gotta go to New York
for the draft this weekend.
189
00:07:07,426 --> 00:07:09,061
Arliss, you've
got fever lesions,
190
00:07:09,128 --> 00:07:11,197
severe itching and you
look really, really silly.
191
00:07:11,264 --> 00:07:12,398
Now, you're staying home.
192
00:07:12,465 --> 00:07:13,466
For how long?
193
00:07:13,532 --> 00:07:14,834
A week, ten days tops.
194
00:07:14,901 --> 00:07:15,902
A week!
195
00:07:15,968 --> 00:07:17,003
Don't scratch.
196
00:07:17,069 --> 00:07:18,337
Get some calamine lotion.
197
00:07:18,404 --> 00:07:19,764
It will help
alleviate the itching.
198
00:07:19,805 --> 00:07:21,245
Where am I gonna
get calamine lotion?
199
00:07:21,274 --> 00:07:22,575
You just told me
I gotta stay in.
200
00:07:22,642 --> 00:07:24,219
Don't you have someone
who can take care of you?
201
00:07:24,243 --> 00:07:25,344
I...
202
00:07:25,411 --> 00:07:26,779
(phone ringing)
203
00:07:26,846 --> 00:07:28,214
Arliss Michael's office.
204
00:07:28,281 --> 00:07:29,281
Hi, it's me.
205
00:07:29,315 --> 00:07:30,583
Oh, did you see Dr. Irv?
206
00:07:30,650 --> 00:07:32,785
Yeah, I did, he said
it's nothing serious.
207
00:07:32,852 --> 00:07:34,854
Oh, good. Um, I'll
see you Monday.
208
00:07:34,921 --> 00:07:36,122
Sure, have a good weekend.
209
00:07:36,188 --> 00:07:37,188
Oh, one quick question.
210
00:07:37,223 --> 00:07:38,400
Did you ever have chicken pox?
211
00:07:38,424 --> 00:07:40,493
- Umm...
- Good, get the hell over here right away,
212
00:07:40,559 --> 00:07:41,919
I need you to pick
up a few things.
213
00:07:44,263 --> 00:07:46,332
Arliss: In the days
leading up to the draft,
214
00:07:46,399 --> 00:07:48,834
a potential draft choice's stock
215
00:07:48,901 --> 00:07:51,437
can rise or fall due
to their workouts.
216
00:07:51,504 --> 00:07:54,307
That's why I have my
staff personally supervise
217
00:07:54,373 --> 00:07:56,575
all strength and
flexibility drills.
218
00:07:56,642 --> 00:07:59,245
We find this an
uplifting experience.
219
00:07:59,312 --> 00:08:02,315
Twenty-six, twenty-seven...
220
00:08:02,381 --> 00:08:04,417
twenty-eight...
221
00:08:04,483 --> 00:08:06,519
Look at that upper
body strength.
222
00:08:06,585 --> 00:08:08,220
He's the guy who
can help St. Louis
223
00:08:08,287 --> 00:08:10,423
ram the ball into the end zone.
224
00:08:10,489 --> 00:08:12,391
Thirty-two...
225
00:08:12,458 --> 00:08:15,027
thirty-four...
226
00:08:15,094 --> 00:08:18,264
thirty-five, thirty-six,
227
00:08:18,331 --> 00:08:20,333
thirty-seven.
228
00:08:20,399 --> 00:08:22,301
Arliss: In my opinion,
attention to detail
229
00:08:22,368 --> 00:08:24,170
can turn into extra yardage.
230
00:08:24,236 --> 00:08:27,473
This can go a long way
towards paying big dividends,
231
00:08:27,540 --> 00:08:30,209
and providing
valuable information.
232
00:08:30,276 --> 00:08:31,444
Not only for the seller,
233
00:08:31,510 --> 00:08:33,145
but also the buyer.
234
00:08:34,647 --> 00:08:36,849
A lineman running a 4-7.
235
00:08:36,916 --> 00:08:39,785
That's the best 40 yards
anyone's run this month.
236
00:08:39,852 --> 00:08:42,254
Must be the shoes.
237
00:08:46,625 --> 00:08:47,860
Matt was awesome,
238
00:08:47,927 --> 00:08:49,462
the scouts needed drool cups!
239
00:08:49,528 --> 00:08:51,497
Cleveland wants to
talk contract parameters.
240
00:08:51,564 --> 00:08:53,632
And we already know
what spot they're gonna pick.
241
00:08:53,699 --> 00:08:55,568
Numero uno!
242
00:08:55,634 --> 00:08:58,004
Good, good, good, good.
243
00:08:58,070 --> 00:08:59,772
Oh, Rita.
244
00:08:59,839 --> 00:09:02,341
Could I get some soup?
245
00:09:02,408 --> 00:09:05,111
Oh, of course.
246
00:09:06,812 --> 00:09:08,114
What a wuss!
247
00:09:09,382 --> 00:09:10,449
Here's the deal:
248
00:09:10,516 --> 00:09:13,185
I'm gonna be out of the
office a good ten days.
249
00:09:13,252 --> 00:09:15,721
You two are gonna have
to run the show without me.
250
00:09:15,788 --> 00:09:17,823
Ten days, bummer.
251
00:09:17,890 --> 00:09:19,759
Now, I'm counting on
you to stay on Cartwright.
252
00:09:19,825 --> 00:09:21,861
That means no DUIs,
no bong smoking,
253
00:09:21,927 --> 00:09:23,429
no pub brawls before Saturday.
254
00:09:23,496 --> 00:09:25,798
Don't worry about Matt,
his head's on straight.
255
00:09:25,865 --> 00:09:27,333
I'm talking about you, Kirby.
256
00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:29,435
Take care of yourself.
257
00:09:29,502 --> 00:09:30,870
We'll keep you in our prayers.
258
00:09:30,936 --> 00:09:33,672
I gotta go. I... I... I'm
just too weak to talk, bye.
259
00:09:33,739 --> 00:09:35,007
Bye.
260
00:09:35,074 --> 00:09:36,142
Jesus, what a baby.
261
00:09:36,208 --> 00:09:38,177
Really, grow a dick.
262
00:09:38,244 --> 00:09:40,679
You know, you might wanna be
sure the phone is disconnected
263
00:09:40,746 --> 00:09:41,947
before you remember me
264
00:09:42,014 --> 00:09:44,383
in your goddamn prayers!
265
00:09:44,450 --> 00:09:47,720
Jeez, you look like a
goalie for a dart team.
266
00:09:47,787 --> 00:09:49,722
Thank you, Mother Teresa.
267
00:09:49,789 --> 00:09:50,789
Can I go now?
268
00:09:50,823 --> 00:09:51,823
Of course.
269
00:09:51,857 --> 00:09:54,794
Although some Jell-o
would be good for my throat.
270
00:09:59,832 --> 00:10:04,437
I asked for lime,
but that's, okay.
271
00:10:10,076 --> 00:10:11,877
Hey, Matt, my man.
272
00:10:11,944 --> 00:10:13,464
I just got off the
phone with Cleveland
273
00:10:13,512 --> 00:10:16,515
and they were so impressed
with our private workout,
274
00:10:16,582 --> 00:10:18,084
they're considering making you
275
00:10:18,150 --> 00:10:19,652
their number one pick.
276
00:10:19,718 --> 00:10:21,620
That's great, but Kirbs,
277
00:10:21,687 --> 00:10:23,722
I've already come to
a decision on an agent.
278
00:10:23,789 --> 00:10:25,658
Decision, but I
thought you already...
279
00:10:25,724 --> 00:10:27,593
No, no, no, I've
been kicking tires,
280
00:10:27,660 --> 00:10:29,829
test driving agents.
Now I found a home.
281
00:10:29,895 --> 00:10:31,897
What do you mean
you "found a home"?
282
00:10:31,964 --> 00:10:34,667
Armstrong, are you
goin' with Armstrong?
283
00:10:34,733 --> 00:10:36,435
No, no, I'm keeping it real.
284
00:10:36,502 --> 00:10:37,670
Real?
285
00:10:37,736 --> 00:10:39,181
Yeah, I'm going to "Free
To Fly" Management.
286
00:10:39,205 --> 00:10:40,272
T-Bag!
287
00:10:40,339 --> 00:10:41,674
Yeah, T-Bag.
288
00:10:41,740 --> 00:10:43,518
He's hooking me up with a record
deal and my own clothing line.
289
00:10:43,542 --> 00:10:47,546
Matt, you and me, I mean,
290
00:10:47,613 --> 00:10:50,649
we had a cultural kinship.
291
00:10:50,716 --> 00:10:53,152
He doesn't know what
you've gone through
292
00:10:53,219 --> 00:10:55,754
growing up as a white man, I do.
293
00:10:55,821 --> 00:10:58,491
Shame, shame,
playing a race card.
294
00:10:58,557 --> 00:11:00,926
Matt Cartwright has
a contract at AMM.
295
00:11:00,993 --> 00:11:02,528
And we intend to enforce it.
296
00:11:02,595 --> 00:11:03,829
Oh, I'll tell you what.
297
00:11:03,896 --> 00:11:05,307
It you're willing to
forget about that,
298
00:11:05,331 --> 00:11:06,732
my client is willing
to forget about
299
00:11:06,799 --> 00:11:07,967
all the cake you paid him
300
00:11:08,033 --> 00:11:09,268
during his college years.
301
00:11:09,335 --> 00:11:10,946
Otherwise Matt is ready
to sing to the NCAA.
302
00:11:10,970 --> 00:11:12,004
Oh, and he'll skate.
303
00:11:12,071 --> 00:11:13,405
You know the rules, man.
304
00:11:13,472 --> 00:11:15,450
He won't have to pay you
back none of your damn money.
305
00:11:15,474 --> 00:11:17,076
And your sorry asses
won't be recruiting
306
00:11:17,143 --> 00:11:18,944
on college campus'
for a long time.
307
00:11:19,011 --> 00:11:21,313
That about covers it,
Cochise, keep it real.
308
00:11:22,548 --> 00:11:24,783
Matt Cartwright is white!
309
00:11:24,850 --> 00:11:26,652
Yes, as of noon yesterday.
310
00:11:26,719 --> 00:11:29,321
T-Bag is going after
my white clients?
311
00:11:29,388 --> 00:11:31,257
Arliss, easy, you're
gonna get sicker.
312
00:11:31,323 --> 00:11:33,135
Oh, you don't know how
much sicker I'm getting.
313
00:11:33,159 --> 00:11:35,227
If I can't keep T-Bag
away from my white clients
314
00:11:35,294 --> 00:11:37,096
I might as well
fold the fucking tent.
315
00:11:37,163 --> 00:11:39,441
Actually, you know our white clients
make less than our black clients.
316
00:11:39,465 --> 00:11:40,465
What are you doing?
317
00:11:40,499 --> 00:11:42,301
I'm not sure I had
the chicken pox.
318
00:11:42,368 --> 00:11:43,568
You two should call your moms.
319
00:11:43,602 --> 00:11:45,113
You know, I can't
believe we lost a potential
320
00:11:45,137 --> 00:11:46,338
number one draft choice.
321
00:11:46,405 --> 00:11:48,507
We put a lot of time
and effort into Matt.
322
00:11:48,574 --> 00:11:50,176
We put lot of money into Matt!
323
00:11:50,242 --> 00:11:51,577
$200,000 incentive pay,
324
00:11:51,644 --> 00:11:53,779
one Lexus, one
Concord trip to Paris.
325
00:11:53,846 --> 00:11:55,181
We had a contract with him!
326
00:11:55,247 --> 00:11:57,583
They're threatening
to, uh, call the NCAA.
327
00:11:59,084 --> 00:12:00,686
You two have to fix this.
328
00:12:00,753 --> 00:12:01,954
Us?
329
00:12:02,021 --> 00:12:03,355
Yeah, it happened on your watch.
330
00:12:03,422 --> 00:12:05,033
Godamn it, a guy can't
get the chicken pox
331
00:12:05,057 --> 00:12:07,826
without his whole fucking
operation going down the drain!
332
00:12:07,893 --> 00:12:09,004
You're gonna pay T-Bag a visit.
333
00:12:09,028 --> 00:12:10,763
You hear me? Now!
I want my client back!
334
00:12:10,829 --> 00:12:11,897
I want him back!

00:12:25,811 --> 00:12:27,122
- You wanna take five?
- Yeah, yeah.
343
00:12:27,146 --> 00:12:28,180
Okay, baby.
344
00:12:28,247 --> 00:12:29,381
Kirby: Yo, T...
345
00:12:29,448 --> 00:12:30,549
What's up, gentlemen?
346
00:12:30,616 --> 00:12:32,184
Let's talk about
Matt Cartwright.
347
00:12:32,251 --> 00:12:33,719
Start talking.
348
00:12:33,786 --> 00:12:35,354
First of all, he's
not your client.
349
00:12:35,421 --> 00:12:36,589
No shit.
350
00:12:36,655 --> 00:12:38,290
And secondly you... Huh?
351
00:12:38,357 --> 00:12:40,092
You're right, he
ain't my client.
352
00:12:40,159 --> 00:12:42,061
Armstrong hijacked
him away from me.
353
00:12:42,127 --> 00:12:44,163
Armstrong?
354
00:12:44,230 --> 00:12:45,840
Man, that motherfucker
personally gave Matt
355
00:12:45,864 --> 00:12:47,533
a ten million dollar
signing bonus.
356
00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:49,201
Jesus, if he doesn't
go in the top five,
357
00:12:49,268 --> 00:12:51,179
Armstrong stands to lose
a hell of a lot of money.
358
00:12:51,203 --> 00:12:52,371
Yeah, but thanks to us
359
00:12:52,438 --> 00:12:53,806
getting everybody horny for him,
360
00:12:53,872 --> 00:12:55,574
he probably is gonna
go in the top five.
361
00:12:55,641 --> 00:12:57,009
And this fool
disrespected me, man.
362
00:12:57,076 --> 00:12:58,553
You know what I'm
saying? You feel my pain?
363
00:12:58,577 --> 00:13:00,112
Armstrong went on
ESPN talking about
364
00:13:00,179 --> 00:13:01,647
I'm an amateur, a wanna-be.
365
00:13:01,714 --> 00:13:02,948
What the fuck is that?
366
00:13:03,015 --> 00:13:05,384
Yeah... Disrespect.
367
00:13:05,451 --> 00:13:07,653
Armstrong respects
nobody, he never has!
368
00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:10,256
We gotta change that,
he's gotta go down.
369
00:13:10,322 --> 00:13:12,291
Midnight cowboy got
some grudging, huh?
370
00:13:12,358 --> 00:13:13,692
Is this personal?
371
00:13:13,759 --> 00:13:16,795
Yeah, yeah, I think it is.
372
00:13:16,862 --> 00:13:20,099
I say, we form a
little cultural kinship
373
00:13:20,165 --> 00:13:23,902
based on the
unifying color of green.
374
00:13:23,969 --> 00:13:25,371
Gentlemen,
375
00:13:25,437 --> 00:13:29,008
it's time to go into the
two-minute offense.
376
00:13:35,281 --> 00:13:36,649
Let's go to Stuart Scott
377
00:13:36,715 --> 00:13:39,084
who is standing by in
the player's waiting area.
378
00:13:39,151 --> 00:13:41,453
And I'm here with Matt
Cartwright and his family,
379
00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:43,122
where the big offensive tackle
380
00:13:43,188 --> 00:13:45,124
is one of two players
Cleveland is considering
381
00:13:45,190 --> 00:13:46,825
taking with the first pick.
382
00:13:46,892 --> 00:13:47,926
You gotta be nervous.
383
00:13:47,993 --> 00:13:49,638
I'll tell you, Stuart, I
am a little nervous...
384
00:13:49,662 --> 00:13:52,531
Well, well, well,
it's, uh, Huggy Bear,
385
00:13:52,598 --> 00:13:54,967
and AMM's nut squad.
386
00:13:55,034 --> 00:13:57,670
I thought only
agents with players
387
00:13:57,736 --> 00:13:59,672
expected to be
taken in the first round
388
00:13:59,738 --> 00:14:01,774
were allowed into
the backstage area.
389
00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:04,109
Or did you sign one?
390
00:14:04,176 --> 00:14:05,411
We already did.
391
00:14:05,477 --> 00:14:06,845
Hoss Cartwright over there,
392
00:14:06,912 --> 00:14:08,080
'til you snaked him.
393
00:14:08,147 --> 00:14:09,624
I have no idea what
you're talking about.
394
00:14:09,648 --> 00:14:10,983
Matt approached me on his own.
395
00:14:11,050 --> 00:14:13,352
Is that Grecian Formula
seeping into your brain?
396
00:14:13,419 --> 00:14:15,287
Don't try to play us.
397
00:14:15,354 --> 00:14:16,655
Word.
398
00:14:16,722 --> 00:14:17,823
Alright, here's the deal.
399
00:14:17,890 --> 00:14:19,291
We split the
commission three ways.
400
00:14:19,358 --> 00:14:21,360
AMM and T helped
inflate Matt's value.
401
00:14:21,427 --> 00:14:24,129
And a lot of that value
is created out of pocket.
402
00:14:24,196 --> 00:14:26,365
We propose that we
each get one percent.
403
00:14:26,432 --> 00:14:28,934
Or it's go time.
404
00:14:29,001 --> 00:14:30,803
Not a chance in hell.
405
00:14:30,869 --> 00:14:32,571
I'm the one who
stuck my neck out
406
00:14:32,638 --> 00:14:34,540
by writing a check to that kid
407
00:14:34,606 --> 00:14:36,475
for ten million
dollars, not you guys.
408
00:14:36,542 --> 00:14:39,912
So, Matt Cartwright is
mine, and mine alone.
409
00:14:39,978 --> 00:14:42,081
Tell you what, Mikey,
you better wear a cup,
410
00:14:42,147 --> 00:14:43,725
because we're gonna
rough up your suspects.
411
00:14:43,749 --> 00:14:45,551
You listen to me,
412
00:14:45,617 --> 00:14:48,520
I'm not intimidated
by your street tactics.
413
00:14:48,587 --> 00:14:50,723
I may not be the only
game in town anymore,
414
00:14:50,789 --> 00:14:53,492
but I am still the biggest
goddamn game in town,
415
00:14:53,559 --> 00:14:55,561
and I will roll
and flick you three
416
00:14:55,627 --> 00:14:57,796
like the little boogers you are.
417
00:14:57,863 --> 00:15:00,332
Now, if you'll excuse me,
418
00:15:00,399 --> 00:15:03,035
I have a date with television.
419
00:15:08,540 --> 00:15:09,842
Arliss: With D-Day upon us,
420
00:15:09,908 --> 00:15:12,344
I assume my role as
supreme commander
421
00:15:12,411 --> 00:15:13,812
of the AMM forces.
422
00:15:13,879 --> 00:15:15,514
(phone ringing)
423
00:15:15,581 --> 00:15:16,582
Hello.
424
00:15:16,648 --> 00:15:17,883
We're going in.
425
00:15:17,950 --> 00:15:19,118
Okay, listen, hit him hard,
426
00:15:19,184 --> 00:15:20,986
hit him fast, hit him low!
427
00:15:21,053 --> 00:15:22,454
That wore me out.
428
00:15:22,521 --> 00:15:23,889
(phone beeps)
429
00:15:24,990 --> 00:15:26,392
(toothbrush whirring)
430
00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:30,996
Arliss: Rule number one when
you hit the beach on D-Day,
431
00:15:31,063 --> 00:15:33,365
never arrive unarmed.
432
00:15:35,868 --> 00:15:37,469
Don't worry Carmen,
Matt Cartwright
433
00:15:37,536 --> 00:15:39,471
beat the steroid
test in college.
434
00:15:39,538 --> 00:15:40,739
He'll beat 'em in the pros.
435
00:15:40,806 --> 00:15:42,341
I'm sure that the reason
436
00:15:42,408 --> 00:15:43,818
he lost twenty pounds
in the past two weeks
437
00:15:43,842 --> 00:15:45,110
had nothing do with the fact
438
00:15:45,177 --> 00:15:46,512
that you guys were testing him.
439
00:15:46,578 --> 00:15:47,880
This isn't sour
grapes from a guy
440
00:15:47,946 --> 00:15:49,681
who used to represent
Cartwright, is it?
441
00:15:49,748 --> 00:15:52,618
I just want to see
the Browns rise again.
442
00:15:52,684 --> 00:15:54,553
Kirby, I'm sort of busy here.
443
00:15:54,620 --> 00:15:55,620
It is Draft Day.
444
00:15:55,654 --> 00:15:56,654
That's okay.
445
00:15:56,688 --> 00:15:58,323
I'm sure picking Matt Cartwright
446
00:15:58,390 --> 00:15:59,725
won't be like when you took
447
00:15:59,792 --> 00:16:00,959
Jim Druckenmiller,
448
00:16:01,026 --> 00:16:02,895
instead of Jake Plumber.
449
00:16:02,961 --> 00:16:05,631
Mel: And the first pick of
the draft by Cleveland is...
450
00:16:05,697 --> 00:16:06,865
Reggie Clayson!
451
00:16:06,932 --> 00:16:08,743
- Running back, University of Michigan.
- Oh, yeah! Alright!
452
00:16:08,767 --> 00:16:09,835
Reggie Clayson?
453
00:16:09,902 --> 00:16:11,537
I thought it would
be Matt Cartwright!
454
00:16:11,603 --> 00:16:13,572
Mel: It always seemed
like a toss-up to me, Chris.
455
00:16:13,639 --> 00:16:15,541
Reggie's a big,
strong, running back.
456
00:16:15,607 --> 00:16:18,076
You'll be next,
huh? You'll be next.
457
00:16:18,143 --> 00:16:19,545
Dallas is on the clock.
458
00:16:19,611 --> 00:16:21,213
Why are you telling me this?
459
00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:23,115
Look, the syringe that was found
460
00:16:23,182 --> 00:16:24,483
in the back of Matt's car
461
00:16:24,550 --> 00:16:26,285
belonged to his diabetic cat.
462
00:16:26,351 --> 00:16:28,420
I could care less about his cat.
463
00:16:28,487 --> 00:16:30,422
What I am interested in
is, can he play football?
464
00:16:30,489 --> 00:16:32,129
Then, we understand
each other in the fact
465
00:16:32,191 --> 00:16:35,227
that Matt Cartwright does
not have a drug problem.
466
00:16:35,294 --> 00:16:36,662
It's just that Noodles,
467
00:16:36,728 --> 00:16:39,364
that's his cat,
Noodles is diabetic.
468
00:16:39,431 --> 00:16:41,266
You dig?
469
00:16:41,333 --> 00:16:43,602
And Dallas picks Drew Cappo,
470
00:16:43,669 --> 00:16:45,337
- quarterback from Wisconsin.
- (gasps)
471
00:16:45,404 --> 00:16:47,439
Wow, now that's a shock.
472
00:16:47,506 --> 00:16:49,942
- Number two, number three.
- We've seen this before guys.
473
00:16:50,008 --> 00:16:52,811
A player doesn't go
where he's expected to go.
474
00:16:52,878 --> 00:16:54,446
The team that's
picking next wonders,
475
00:16:54,513 --> 00:16:55,914
what they don't know.
476
00:16:55,981 --> 00:16:57,115
No, no, no.
477
00:16:57,182 --> 00:16:59,384
I didn't say Matt Cartwright
was with a hooker.
478
00:16:59,451 --> 00:17:02,054
I said Matt Cartwright
was with a looker.
479
00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:05,691
No, no, man, you said,
hooker, I heard you.
480
00:17:05,757 --> 00:17:08,460
Stan, c'mon, bro,
this is me, talk to me.
481
00:17:08,527 --> 00:17:10,562
Was Matt with some hooker?
482
00:17:10,629 --> 00:17:14,132
Oh, my, New Orleans
passes on Matt Cartwright?
483
00:17:14,199 --> 00:17:15,818
Goody, goody, goody.
484
00:17:15,819 --> 00:17:17,436
And goes for
Nebraska defensive...
485
00:17:17,503 --> 00:17:19,505
Stuart Scott, what's
the mood down there?
486
00:17:19,571 --> 00:17:22,941
I think disappointment
would be an understatement
487
00:17:23,008 --> 00:17:24,409
at this point, Chris.
488
00:17:24,476 --> 00:17:26,044
(phone ringing)
489
00:17:26,111 --> 00:17:27,312
Yeah.
490
00:17:27,379 --> 00:17:30,115
Good luck getting a ten
million dollar signing bonus.
491
00:17:30,182 --> 00:17:31,450
We can end this now,
492
00:17:31,517 --> 00:17:33,085
or are you ready
to cut your losses?
493
00:17:33,151 --> 00:17:34,953
Kirby, I'm not afraid of Arliss.
494
00:17:35,020 --> 00:17:37,623
I'm certainly not gonna
cave in to his sidekick.
495
00:17:37,689 --> 00:17:40,459
Okay, it was your ten million.
496
00:17:42,828 --> 00:17:45,464
Don't believe the rumor
that we're spreading rumors.
497
00:17:45,531 --> 00:17:49,301
Those are just rumors,
our rumors are true. Mm.
498
00:17:49,368 --> 00:17:51,303
Oh, wow!
499
00:17:51,370 --> 00:17:54,473
Matt Cartwright isn't even the
first offensive lineman taken.
500
00:17:54,540 --> 00:17:56,241
Look out below!
501
00:17:56,308 --> 00:17:57,719
Goody, goody, goody,
goody, goody, goody!
502
00:17:57,743 --> 00:17:59,303
This is the best
you've looked all week.
503
00:17:59,344 --> 00:18:01,179
This is the best
I've felt all week.
504
00:18:01,246 --> 00:18:02,848
Look, Armstrong
wrote a personal check
505
00:18:02,915 --> 00:18:03,982
for ten million dollars.
506
00:18:04,049 --> 00:18:06,018
Even if Cartwright goes
now, at number five,
507
00:18:06,084 --> 00:18:08,287
Armstrong will never
recoup his initial outlay.
508
00:18:08,353 --> 00:18:10,856
It's just a matter of
time before he caves.
509
00:18:10,923 --> 00:18:12,057
So, you're better?
510
00:18:12,124 --> 00:18:13,124
Yes...
511
00:18:13,158 --> 00:18:14,438
- So, I can go?
- Yeah. Oh, wait.
512
00:18:14,493 --> 00:18:16,328
Wait, wait, wait...
513
00:18:16,395 --> 00:18:17,696
I need a Fig Newton.
514
00:18:17,763 --> 00:18:19,031
Ladies and gentlemen,
515
00:18:19,097 --> 00:18:20,265
if you're Matt Cartwright,
516
00:18:20,332 --> 00:18:22,134
you might feel like
you're on the Titanic.
517
00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:23,669
At least Titanic had a band.
518
00:18:23,735 --> 00:18:25,304
You know, this is
getting embarrassing.
519
00:18:25,370 --> 00:18:26,471
Embarrassing?
520
00:18:26,538 --> 00:18:28,440
Do you know how much
money I blew on you?
521
00:18:28,507 --> 00:18:30,876
Get that fucking thing
out of my face, please.
522
00:18:32,377 --> 00:18:35,213
Don't worry, you're
gonna go next.
523
00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:38,984
Chin up, huh, chin up, c'mon.
524
00:18:45,090 --> 00:18:47,459
Kirby: Yes, this is Kirby.
525
00:18:47,526 --> 00:18:48,994
Let's talk.
526
00:18:49,061 --> 00:18:50,395
Kirby: Oh, fine.
527
00:18:50,462 --> 00:18:52,130
Stanley: Yo, yo, yo, Mikey.
528
00:18:52,197 --> 00:18:53,899
What's up with your boy, Mike?
529
00:18:53,966 --> 00:18:55,500
If I didn't know any better,
530
00:18:55,567 --> 00:18:57,803
I'd think that
someone was running
531
00:18:57,869 --> 00:19:00,038
a disinformation
campaign on my client.
532
00:19:00,105 --> 00:19:02,674
Yeah, boy's falling faster
than a white heavyweight.
533
00:19:02,741 --> 00:19:04,443
Okay, we split three ways,
534
00:19:04,509 --> 00:19:07,145
if you can get Matt
picked number five.
535
00:19:07,212 --> 00:19:08,580
You've got five minutes.
536
00:19:08,647 --> 00:19:10,015
Chill.
537
00:19:10,082 --> 00:19:12,884
We want a portion of
the endorsement money.
538
00:19:12,951 --> 00:19:15,354
Plus the cost of one Lexus.
539
00:19:15,420 --> 00:19:16,989
No fucking way.
540
00:19:18,857 --> 00:19:20,392
Hey, Matt.
541
00:19:20,459 --> 00:19:23,261
Remember that quarterback
Armstrong told you about?
542
00:19:23,328 --> 00:19:25,397
The one that pissed
away all his money?
543
00:19:25,464 --> 00:19:27,966
Well, he didn't
finish the story.
544
00:19:28,033 --> 00:19:30,302
Seems he did
pretty well for himself.
545
00:19:30,369 --> 00:19:33,739
In fact, he cost your
agent a lot of money.
546
00:19:33,805 --> 00:19:35,807
Tick-tock, tick-tock.
547
00:19:35,874 --> 00:19:39,511
Alright, alright, it's a deal.
548
00:19:39,578 --> 00:19:42,748
But right now,
Cartwright's in a free fall.
549
00:19:42,814 --> 00:19:43,882
How are you gonna stop it?
550
00:19:43,949 --> 00:19:46,418
Watch and learn.
551
00:19:47,819 --> 00:19:51,223
What do you mean Mike Armstrong
says Matt won't play for me?
552
00:19:51,289 --> 00:19:52,758
Yeah, it's nothing personal,
553
00:19:52,824 --> 00:19:54,459
he's just a little particular.
554
00:19:54,526 --> 00:19:56,762
What, an agent is
telling me what to do?
555
00:19:56,828 --> 00:19:59,131
If I want a draft
that guy I'll draft him.
556
00:19:59,197 --> 00:20:01,333
I'll turn him into
a football player.
557
00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:02,768
Finally!
558
00:20:02,834 --> 00:20:04,503
And with the fifth pick,
559
00:20:04,569 --> 00:20:06,314
Seattle selects offensive
tackle Matt Cartwright.
560
00:20:06,338 --> 00:20:09,074
So, finally the big old
hoss, Matt Cartwright
561
00:20:09,141 --> 00:20:10,242
has found a home.
562
00:20:10,308 --> 00:20:11,686
Big guy, get over
here, come talk to me,
563
00:20:11,710 --> 00:20:13,554
give me some love. What
are you thinking right now?
564
00:20:13,578 --> 00:20:14,822
Well, Stuart,
I'll tell you this...
565
00:20:14,846 --> 00:20:17,249
Arliss: Draft Day,
like war, is hell.
566
00:20:17,315 --> 00:20:20,018
It takes grip, guts,
and a little luck.
567
00:20:20,085 --> 00:20:21,520
Sure it gets bloody,
568
00:20:21,586 --> 00:20:24,389
but to the victor go the spoils.
569
00:20:24,456 --> 00:20:26,391
A toast, to our field general,
570
00:20:26,458 --> 00:20:27,659
Kirby Carlisle.
571
00:20:27,726 --> 00:20:28,960
To respect.
572
00:20:29,027 --> 00:20:30,362
Kirby, you'll never have mine
573
00:20:30,429 --> 00:20:32,030
but at least you
got Armstrong's.
574
00:20:32,097 --> 00:20:34,199
I'll take respect
wherever I can get it.
575
00:20:34,266 --> 00:20:37,436
Mom, what do you
mean it was the measles?
576
00:20:37,502 --> 00:20:38,870
Rita, we're going to lunch.
577
00:20:38,937 --> 00:20:40,639
Oh, could you please pick me up
578
00:20:40,706 --> 00:20:41,983
some chicken soup
and some Nyquil?
579
00:20:42,007 --> 00:20:45,210
Oh, don't be such a baby.
580
00:20:45,277 --> 00:20:48,480
Oh, don't scratch...
Here I come!
581
00:20:48,547 --> 00:20:51,216
Mom!
582
00:20:51,283 --> 00:20:53,819
My name is General
Arliss Michaels.
583
00:20:53,885 --> 00:20:55,721
I represent athletes.
584
00:20:55,787 --> 00:20:58,123
These are my stories.
585
00:20:58,190 --> 00:20:59,691
Dismissed.
