1
00:00:23,683 --> 00:00:25,486
Get your popcorn ready,
2
00:00:25,622 --> 00:00:27,720
'cause this is aboutto be a good one.
3
00:00:27,855 --> 00:00:30,161
Down here in New Orleans,you know we know how to party.
4
00:00:30,296 --> 00:00:31,688
And around here,we like to say,
5
00:00:31,824 --> 00:00:33,560
"Laissez les
bons temps rouler."
6
00:00:35,802 --> 00:00:38,332
The wait is over.
7
00:00:38,468 --> 00:00:41,337
A sold-out Superdomeis the stage.
8
00:00:43,037 --> 00:00:46,373
After a yearof partially filledor empty stadiums,
9
00:00:46,509 --> 00:00:49,006
this should beabsolutely electric.
10
00:00:49,141 --> 00:00:51,209
College football's SnickersNational Title game
11
00:00:51,345 --> 00:00:53,074
has finally arrived,
12
00:00:53,210 --> 00:00:55,248
and it is the matchupof our dreams.
13
00:00:55,383 --> 00:00:57,088
We have the 13-1 Cougars
14
00:00:57,223 --> 00:00:59,454
going againstthe undefeated Wolves,
15
00:00:59,590 --> 00:01:02,518
and this is wherelegends are made.
16
00:01:02,653 --> 00:01:05,457
Wolvesquarterback, the HeismanTrophy winner LeMarcus James.
17
00:01:05,593 --> 00:01:07,526
Possiblythe best quarterback
18
00:01:07,662 --> 00:01:10,227
to come into the NFLsince Patrick Mahomes.
19
00:01:10,362 --> 00:01:12,700
And you knowwho agrees with meon that?
Miami.
20
00:01:12,836 --> 00:01:15,240
'Cause they're poised totake him number one overall,
21
00:01:15,375 --> 00:01:18,237
and I'm hearing for about$35 million guaranteed.
22
00:01:18,373 --> 00:01:20,043
Meanwhile,for the Cougars,
23
00:01:20,179 --> 00:01:21,811
you have running backCecil Burgess,
24
00:01:21,947 --> 00:01:23,710
AKA the Haitian Hammer.
25
00:01:23,845 --> 00:01:26,117
He's gonna run for,eh, I don't know,
26
00:01:26,252 --> 00:01:28,813
200 to 400 yardsevery game.
27
00:01:28,948 --> 00:01:30,451
That's how he setthe Big 12
28
00:01:30,587 --> 00:01:32,089
all-time single-seasonrushing record.
29
00:01:32,224 --> 00:01:34,326
But the peoplewho really build
30
00:01:34,462 --> 00:01:36,761
the college footballdynasties are the coaches.
31
00:01:36,897 --> 00:01:40,465
We are not talking enoughabout Wolves coachJames Lazor.
32
00:01:40,601 --> 00:01:44,103
Everybody knows the guy isan elite program builder,
33
00:01:44,238 --> 00:01:46,930
one of the best coacheswe've seen,
34
00:01:47,065 --> 00:01:50,001
but he has neverwon the big game.
35
00:01:50,136 --> 00:01:53,244
Monday night is about etchinghis name in the history books.
36
00:01:55,140 --> 00:01:57,010
You havelegacies on the line.
37
00:01:57,145 --> 00:01:59,116
You have controversiessurrounding the sportas a whole.
38
00:01:59,252 --> 00:02:02,651
Monday cannot get heresoon enough
39
00:02:02,786 --> 00:02:05,784
for the college footballnational title game.
40
00:02:55,634 --> 00:02:57,374
You hear that?
41
00:02:58,441 --> 00:03:00,278
The poppin'?
42
00:03:03,815 --> 00:03:07,049
Was an elbow-to-helmet with
Michigan State's Will backer.
43
00:03:07,184 --> 00:03:09,348
I-right, simple, 68 blast.
44
00:03:09,483 --> 00:03:11,080
Wham.
45
00:03:12,951 --> 00:03:14,886
Darn thing
ain't been right since.
46
00:03:16,488 --> 00:03:17,856
Lead.
47
00:03:18,895 --> 00:03:19,957
Hmm?
48
00:03:20,658 --> 00:03:22,234
It was 1-41 lead.
49
00:03:24,101 --> 00:03:25,800
Hmm, pretty sure...
50
00:03:25,936 --> 00:03:29,300
If you were
on the second level,
then you were lead blocking.
51
00:03:29,435 --> 00:03:32,541
Michigan State ran
a Chicago 53
with a robber in the box.
52
00:03:34,010 --> 00:03:36,547
I mean, no way you got to
the Will back on the blast.
53
00:03:36,682 --> 00:03:38,178
Hmm?
54
00:03:38,314 --> 00:03:39,911
Could've been lead.
55
00:03:52,528 --> 00:03:56,301
"The path
of the righteous man
56
00:03:57,937 --> 00:04:00,302
is beset on all sides
57
00:04:00,437 --> 00:04:02,307
by the inequities
of the selfish
58
00:04:03,473 --> 00:04:06,102
and the tyranny
of evil men."
59
00:04:08,878 --> 00:04:11,273
"Blessed is he who,
in the name of good will,
60
00:04:11,409 --> 00:04:13,408
shepherds the weak through
the valley of darkness."
61
00:04:13,543 --> 00:04:14,844
Hmm?
62
00:04:14,979 --> 00:04:16,615
"For he is
his brother's keeper
63
00:04:16,750 --> 00:04:18,446
and the finder
of lost children."
64
00:04:18,582 --> 00:04:22,790
"And I will strike them down
with vengeance
and furious anger
65
00:04:22,925 --> 00:04:26,255
those who attempt to poison
and destroy my brothers."
66
00:04:26,390 --> 00:04:29,662
"And you will know
my name is the Lord,
67
00:04:29,798 --> 00:04:32,700
for I lay my finger
upon thee."
68
00:04:46,215 --> 00:04:47,715
You stupid, man.
69
00:04:48,818 --> 00:04:51,050
That was an Oscar-winning
performance.
70
00:04:51,186 --> 00:04:52,588
Shit.
71
00:04:52,723 --> 00:04:55,123
Ah, shit, ol' Quentin
sure can write 'em.
72
00:04:55,259 --> 00:04:56,988
Yeah, he can.
73
00:04:58,457 --> 00:05:00,121
Damn.
74
00:05:00,257 --> 00:05:03,962
Hey, you turn
your location services off?
75
00:05:04,895 --> 00:05:08,030
Yeah. On the iPad too.
76
00:05:08,166 --> 00:05:11,109
We can still call
this whole thing off.
77
00:05:11,244 --> 00:05:13,444
Chalk it up
as a research project.
78
00:05:14,907 --> 00:05:17,009
Get some grad credits
out of it.
79
00:05:17,144 --> 00:05:19,276
Hell, I think we'd be
halfway to our master's.
80
00:05:28,027 --> 00:05:29,823
Bow your head, man.
81
00:05:38,969 --> 00:05:43,801
God, give us the wisdom
to see the path
we must take,
82
00:05:43,937 --> 00:05:45,971
and give us the courage
to brave it.
83
00:05:47,014 --> 00:05:48,776
Make of us a light.
84
00:05:50,884 --> 00:05:52,615
Amen.
Amen.
85
00:05:56,048 --> 00:05:57,884
You're getting better
with that.
86
00:06:15,535 --> 00:06:16,738
We're live.
87
00:06:22,876 --> 00:06:24,641
We'd best
get a move-on then.
88
00:06:24,776 --> 00:06:27,980
Coach's gonna become
a heat-seeking missile
looking for you.
89
00:06:28,855 --> 00:06:29,883
Yeah.
90
00:06:31,153 --> 00:06:33,590
I just hope he understands
this ain't about him.
91
00:06:36,486 --> 00:06:39,194
Burgess, able to break away,
92
00:06:39,330 --> 00:06:41,092
into the secondary.
93
00:06:41,227 --> 00:06:43,332
Breaks another tackle...
Stop right there, Lukie.
94
00:06:43,468 --> 00:06:45,233
Right there.
95
00:06:45,369 --> 00:06:47,938
This is
what I'm talking about.
Simple stretch sweep to 34.
96
00:06:48,074 --> 00:06:49,936
Lukie, zoom on 34.
97
00:06:51,205 --> 00:06:54,542
There. Right ankle dominant cut
around the left corner.
98
00:06:54,678 --> 00:06:56,381
The best running back
in the country
99
00:06:56,517 --> 00:06:59,240
is turning the corner
on an inside ankle lead.
100
00:06:59,376 --> 00:07:01,978
Why? 34's left ankle
ain't right.
101
00:07:02,113 --> 00:07:03,885
It hasn't been
since week ten.
102
00:07:04,020 --> 00:07:06,855
Okay, real quick.
Cecil scores
on this play, right?
103
00:07:06,991 --> 00:07:09,561
Yeah. Eighty-yard sprint,
where he outruns a free safety.
104
00:07:09,696 --> 00:07:11,894
Yeah, against Vanderbilt,
I could outrun a free safety.
105
00:07:12,030 --> 00:07:15,197
So here's what we do.
If we move Cornelius
to the middle,
106
00:07:15,332 --> 00:07:16,632
we pinch in the OLBs,
107
00:07:16,768 --> 00:07:18,862
we got our safeties thinking
run support first.
108
00:07:18,997 --> 00:07:20,833
Cornelius will
eat his lunch,
109
00:07:20,968 --> 00:07:23,204
and we will shut 34 down
for the night.
110
00:07:23,339 --> 00:07:24,509
I got you.
111
00:07:24,644 --> 00:07:26,940
Boys. Booster club dinner.
Five minutes.
112
00:07:27,075 --> 00:07:29,440
Yeah, yeah, they can wait.
No, they cannot wait.
113
00:07:29,576 --> 00:07:31,372
They're the team owners.
You're the guest of honor.
114
00:07:31,508 --> 00:07:33,341
Luke can babysit the film,
right, baby?
115
00:07:33,477 --> 00:07:35,283
Tell you what. You can
come back here tonight.
116
00:07:35,419 --> 00:07:37,886
You guys can touch
and watch film
all night long. How's that?
117
00:07:38,021 --> 00:07:40,450
Seventy-two hours till
the national goddamn title game,
118
00:07:40,585 --> 00:07:43,055
and I got to parade around
in this dog-and-pony show.
119
00:07:43,190 --> 00:07:45,188
Heavy is the head that wears
the crown, my Lord.
120
00:07:45,323 --> 00:07:47,093
All right, look, I gotta
go get dressed, man,
121
00:07:47,228 --> 00:07:49,425
get ready for this
dog-and-pony show,
as you call it.
122
00:07:49,561 --> 00:07:51,633
Seriously, you're not going
to back me up here at all?
123
00:07:51,769 --> 00:07:53,596
No, I'm not.
I just do your defense.
124
00:07:53,732 --> 00:07:56,438
That's your own offense.
That's your life offense.
125
00:07:56,573 --> 00:07:58,466
Defense right here.
126
00:07:58,601 --> 00:08:00,270
I made these
short and sweet,
like you like it.
127
00:08:00,405 --> 00:08:02,142
I suggest you do the same
with your jokes.
128
00:08:02,278 --> 00:08:04,846
My jokes are hilarious,
and people love them.
Yeah. Mm-hmm.
129
00:08:07,286 --> 00:08:09,478
Stop.
Personal phone.
130
00:08:09,614 --> 00:08:12,190
Give me the personal phone.
Luke gets the business phone.
131
00:08:12,325 --> 00:08:14,019
Give him
the business phone.
132
00:08:14,154 --> 00:08:15,956
Anything comes in,
you know where to find me.
133
00:08:16,091 --> 00:08:18,362
You need to relax.
Let's enjoy the mountaintop.
134
00:08:18,497 --> 00:08:21,362
I'll enjoy the mountaintop
when we are at the mountaintop.
We're not there yet.
135
00:08:21,498 --> 00:08:23,395
Let's go. Can we go?
136
00:08:23,530 --> 00:08:24,863
Yes. Okay.
137
00:08:24,998 --> 00:08:26,632
Lukie, set all staff
for 7:00 a.m.
138
00:08:26,768 --> 00:08:29,301
Bed check on time.
On time.
139
00:08:29,437 --> 00:08:30,707
Will do.
140
00:08:32,412 --> 00:08:34,243
Bed check. Let's go!
141
00:08:40,447 --> 00:08:42,521
Hey, guys,
get in y'all room, man.
142
00:08:43,789 --> 00:08:45,349
- What up, Scotty?
- Yo, what up, Orlando?
143
00:08:45,484 --> 00:08:47,388
Is Walton in there too?
Yeah, he in the bathroom.
144
00:08:47,524 --> 00:08:48,689
Let's get some rest.
145
00:08:48,824 --> 00:08:50,252
Talk to you later, man.
For sure.
146
00:08:52,732 --> 00:08:55,457
Hey, Coach, check them
back there for me.
Sure.
147
00:08:58,362 --> 00:09:00,869
Yo, LJ, Em.
It's Scotty. Open up.
148
00:09:03,005 --> 00:09:05,071
Come on, guys,
stop playing. Open up.
149
00:09:33,371 --> 00:09:34,771
That's bed check.
150
00:09:37,671 --> 00:09:38,940
Yo, Scotty.
151
00:09:40,413 --> 00:09:41,941
I'm already asleep, man.
152
00:09:42,077 --> 00:09:44,008
Yeah. Sunday's snoring
like an ox.
153
00:09:44,144 --> 00:09:46,244
Can you hear him?
154
00:09:47,586 --> 00:09:49,081
He broke his nose
so many times,
155
00:09:49,216 --> 00:09:51,049
once he gets
on his back,
I'm screwed.
156
00:09:51,184 --> 00:09:54,254
Yeah. 8:00 a.m. sprints
in the bubble.
157
00:09:54,390 --> 00:09:55,627
Got it.
158
00:09:56,824 --> 00:09:58,256
He buy it?
Hell, yeah.
159
00:10:03,269 --> 00:10:06,561
Thank God Snickers sponsored
this game and not
some insurance company.
160
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:09,236
You hungry?
161
00:10:09,371 --> 00:10:10,565
No.
162
00:10:25,088 --> 00:10:26,915
I'm telling you,
163
00:10:27,050 --> 00:10:29,718
I know they don't have
boosters this good looking
in the Big 12.
164
00:10:29,854 --> 00:10:32,697
I know the Cougars
don't look this good.
165
00:10:34,263 --> 00:10:36,325
We have built this program
into a juggernaut.
166
00:10:36,461 --> 00:10:39,195
Two consecutive
conference championships,
167
00:10:39,330 --> 00:10:41,164
two consecutive
play-off berths,
168
00:10:41,299 --> 00:10:43,002
and now...
169
00:10:43,138 --> 00:10:45,402
...for the first time
in program history,
170
00:10:46,836 --> 00:10:50,114
we are headed to our first
national title game.
171
00:10:54,981 --> 00:10:56,787
All of you in this room,
172
00:10:56,922 --> 00:10:59,755
you have supported,
pushed and prodded,
173
00:10:59,891 --> 00:11:02,350
and sometimes much,
much worse.
174
00:11:02,485 --> 00:11:04,790
But I appreciate it.
175
00:11:04,925 --> 00:11:07,030
That's how you grow.
176
00:11:07,165 --> 00:11:10,567
And I appreciate the opportunity
to have presided over this,
177
00:11:10,702 --> 00:11:14,504
to help young men
become champions
178
00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:16,766
on and off
the football field.
179
00:11:16,901 --> 00:11:18,240
Go, Pack!
180
00:11:30,484 --> 00:11:32,883
You're seriously pressing
your bet again?
181
00:11:33,019 --> 00:11:35,155
Half a million dollars?
182
00:11:35,291 --> 00:11:37,553
Come on, Roger, you know me.
It's for the title.
183
00:11:37,688 --> 00:11:40,163
Go big or go home,
and I ain't fucking leaving.
184
00:11:40,299 --> 00:11:43,358
Well, the apple sure
didn't fall far
from the tree with you.
185
00:11:43,493 --> 00:11:45,530
God bless
your daddy's soul.
186
00:11:45,666 --> 00:11:49,004
Old Fred used to like to
bet the house in Vegas.
187
00:11:49,140 --> 00:11:51,168
He just liked
the free drinks.
Well, hear, hear.
188
00:11:51,304 --> 00:11:53,577
Question is,
how in the glorious hell
189
00:11:53,712 --> 00:11:55,336
are we gonna stop
Cecil Burgess?
190
00:11:55,472 --> 00:11:57,181
Fastest I seen
since Herschel.
191
00:11:57,316 --> 00:11:58,613
It's me,
192
00:11:58,748 --> 00:12:00,408
I'm flooding the gaps,
193
00:12:00,543 --> 00:12:02,478
bringing Mack
from the strong side
194
00:12:02,613 --> 00:12:05,056
and feeding Cornelius
raw meat till kickoff.
195
00:12:05,191 --> 00:12:07,417
Or we break in his room
and Tonya Harding
that son of a bitch.
196
00:12:07,552 --> 00:12:09,925
Now, aren't you sweet?
197
00:12:10,060 --> 00:12:11,929
Well, as long as we got
LeMarcus back there
198
00:12:12,065 --> 00:12:14,227
firing bullets,
we'll be fine...
better than fine.
199
00:12:14,362 --> 00:12:16,860
Coach, we was just talking
about LeMarcus.
200
00:12:16,995 --> 00:12:18,163
LeMarcus who?
201
00:12:18,298 --> 00:12:19,704
But I'll tell you what,
202
00:12:19,839 --> 00:12:22,064
he was pretty raw
when we found him,
203
00:12:22,199 --> 00:12:26,167
and obviously, he's
developed into something
really, really special.
204
00:12:26,303 --> 00:12:29,606
You think you can convince him
he ain't ready to jump
for another year?
205
00:12:29,741 --> 00:12:31,940
I'm just gonna support
whatever is best for LeMarcus.
206
00:12:32,075 --> 00:12:33,842
- Amen.
- Coach, I got a kid in Little Rock.
207
00:12:33,977 --> 00:12:35,910
Hell of an arm. Got to show
you some videos of him.
208
00:12:36,046 --> 00:12:38,714
Love to see it.
You remember the bad old days
209
00:12:38,849 --> 00:12:40,791
when we were scraping
the bottom of the barrel,
210
00:12:40,927 --> 00:12:44,429
begging JUCO transfers
with cases of Budweiser
211
00:12:44,564 --> 00:12:46,058
and jobs
with the dealership?
212
00:12:46,193 --> 00:12:48,089
Yeah, all too well.
213
00:12:48,225 --> 00:12:50,294
- And all that changed once you got LeMarcus.
- Bullshit.
214
00:12:50,430 --> 00:12:52,329
All that changed
when we got Coach here.
215
00:12:52,465 --> 00:12:54,266
Hey, Coach.
Kevin McDonald.
Hi, Kevin.
216
00:12:54,402 --> 00:12:55,806
Director of Communication
for the CFP.
217
00:12:55,941 --> 00:12:57,542
Good to meet you,
and thanks for everything.
218
00:12:57,677 --> 00:13:01,010
Sure. Uh, we may have
a situation.
219
00:13:01,145 --> 00:13:04,310
LeMarcus just tweeted this
earlier tonight.
220
00:13:05,708 --> 00:13:08,411
It says he's boycotting
the game.
221
00:13:08,547 --> 00:13:11,089
Reporters are
already swarming.
222
00:13:11,224 --> 00:13:13,789
We're trying to keep them
off the players' floor.
223
00:13:13,924 --> 00:13:16,594
Can probably do that
till morning,
224
00:13:16,729 --> 00:13:18,652
but this can get
out of hand fast.
225
00:13:18,788 --> 00:13:20,425
It won't.
Give me 20 minutes.
226
00:13:27,236 --> 00:13:29,467
Guys, I'll see you right back.
227
00:13:40,747 --> 00:13:41,886
Hey.
228
00:13:43,288 --> 00:13:44,647
Hi.
229
00:13:46,020 --> 00:13:48,387
A poet at a football game.
230
00:13:49,652 --> 00:13:51,858
Philosopher
at a football game.
231
00:13:51,994 --> 00:13:54,129
Anyway...
232
00:13:57,195 --> 00:13:58,936
You look fantastic.
233
00:14:02,834 --> 00:14:05,809
Scotty, we sure
this is the room?
Yeah, Coach.
234
00:14:05,944 --> 00:14:08,173
Okay, and they were here
at bed check?
235
00:14:08,308 --> 00:14:10,676
Yeah, they're marked off.
What the fuck does that mean,
"They're marked off"?
236
00:14:10,811 --> 00:14:13,212
Did somebody see 'em?
No. But I spoke to LJ
on the phone.
237
00:14:13,348 --> 00:14:15,284
What the fuck?
You ain't seen nobody...
238
00:14:15,419 --> 00:14:17,350
You don't do bed check
on the goddamn telephone.
239
00:14:17,485 --> 00:14:19,418
You check the goddamn bed.
For Christ's sake.
240
00:14:19,553 --> 00:14:22,219
Goddamn it!
Bailey's got my phone.
241
00:14:22,355 --> 00:14:24,488
Your work one.
Yes. Thank you.
242
00:14:24,623 --> 00:14:26,591
Jesus Christ, man.
We're in New Orleans.
243
00:14:26,726 --> 00:14:29,464
Walking distance
to the Quarter
with LeMarcus James.
244
00:14:29,599 --> 00:14:33,270
You might want to actually check
that he's in bed at bed check.
245
00:14:33,405 --> 00:14:35,540
When's the last time
did y'all see him?
Come on, now.
246
00:14:35,675 --> 00:14:37,705
Huh?
When he got off the bus.
247
00:14:37,841 --> 00:14:40,503
Hey, LeMarcus, it's Coach.
Just hit me back here
on the work cell, okay?
248
00:14:40,639 --> 00:14:42,337
If you're out and about,
no problem.
249
00:14:42,473 --> 00:14:44,377
Just, uh, checking in, okay?
250
00:14:44,512 --> 00:14:46,248
We'll see you
for a.m. sprints, man.
251
00:14:46,383 --> 00:14:48,418
Goddamn it.
There's the guy
with the key, Coach.
252
00:14:48,553 --> 00:14:49,946
I'm sorry.
253
00:14:50,081 --> 00:14:51,417
All right.
254
00:14:53,955 --> 00:14:55,487
LeMarcus. Emmett.
255
00:14:57,595 --> 00:14:59,561
Goddamn it.
256
00:14:59,696 --> 00:15:01,597
What the...
257
00:15:01,733 --> 00:15:05,430
Well, I guess we just knock
on every goddamn door
at the hotel.
258
00:15:05,566 --> 00:15:07,672
We got to find him.
Let's go. Go, go, go.
259
00:15:07,807 --> 00:15:09,569
Wake everybody up
if you have to.
260
00:15:09,705 --> 00:15:11,003
Shit.
261
00:15:21,916 --> 00:15:25,349
Come on, Cornelius,
open up the door. Hey.
262
00:15:25,484 --> 00:15:27,926
Fuck. Hold on.
263
00:15:29,189 --> 00:15:30,753
What do you want, Coach?
264
00:15:32,424 --> 00:15:34,426
What the fuck
is that smell?
265
00:15:34,561 --> 00:15:36,759
That's Payton's ass
after Popeyes.
266
00:15:38,062 --> 00:15:41,136
There something you need?
Look, have you
seen LeMarcus?
267
00:15:41,271 --> 00:15:43,131
Why the fuck
would I know where he's at?
268
00:15:43,267 --> 00:15:45,405
What's going on?
It's nothing for you
to worry about.
269
00:15:45,540 --> 00:15:47,411
Just be ready for sprints
in the morning.
270
00:15:47,546 --> 00:15:49,475
Nasty-ass kids.
271
00:16:06,963 --> 00:16:08,362
Yo, Orlando.
272
00:16:11,396 --> 00:16:12,971
How drunk are you, man?
273
00:16:13,973 --> 00:16:15,935
I haven't drank
in four months.
274
00:16:16,071 --> 00:16:17,168
Where's your phone?
275
00:16:17,304 --> 00:16:19,910
In the room, like you asked.
276
00:16:20,045 --> 00:16:22,013
But what the fuck
is this, LJ?
277
00:16:22,848 --> 00:16:24,816
It's exactly what I said.
278
00:16:24,951 --> 00:16:26,748
I ain't playing
until they pay us.
279
00:16:26,883 --> 00:16:28,476
What? You broke again?
280
00:16:28,612 --> 00:16:31,048
You hurt?
I'm done.
281
00:16:31,183 --> 00:16:34,150
They're here making billions
while the rest of us
make scraps.
282
00:16:34,285 --> 00:16:38,128
Me and you, we could sell
our names. What about
everybody else, huh?
283
00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:41,058
Whoa. Wait, wait, wait.
284
00:16:41,194 --> 00:16:43,133
Hold up, hold up.
285
00:16:44,928 --> 00:16:47,169
So you gonna sit
the national title game
286
00:16:47,304 --> 00:16:49,432
so some punt-coverage
Wayne Burnett gets...
287
00:16:49,568 --> 00:16:52,109
A real piece, yeah.
288
00:16:53,611 --> 00:16:54,837
Shit.
289
00:16:56,345 --> 00:16:58,674
LJ, you need
to think about this, bruh.
290
00:16:58,810 --> 00:17:00,512
You and crazy-
Bible-Belt-Sunday
291
00:17:00,647 --> 00:17:02,353
gonna get laughed
out the building.
292
00:17:02,488 --> 00:17:04,685
And if you're lucky, what?
You gonna post on Twitter,
293
00:17:04,821 --> 00:17:08,150
and the whole fucking
machine gonna go,
"Okay, okay. We give up.
294
00:17:08,286 --> 00:17:11,522
LeMarcus doesn't want to play.
Let's just make him happy."
295
00:17:11,658 --> 00:17:14,891
I ain't who you think I am.
296
00:17:15,026 --> 00:17:18,894
So you weren't the one
who gave us all 'Rona
297
00:17:19,030 --> 00:17:22,162
after fucking
half the campus
during quarantine?
298
00:17:22,298 --> 00:17:24,099
You ain't tested
with your own piss
in three years.
299
00:17:24,235 --> 00:17:27,670
All your cash going up in smoke
or to that shit in your ears.
300
00:17:27,806 --> 00:17:29,712
So you standing on stage
for one protest
301
00:17:29,848 --> 00:17:32,148
for Instagram and pussy
302
00:17:32,284 --> 00:17:34,347
don't make you Malcolm X,
brother.
303
00:17:34,483 --> 00:17:37,214
Ain't nobody marching
in the streets
304
00:17:37,350 --> 00:17:39,222
for the number one pick.
305
00:17:44,163 --> 00:17:47,021
Look, man,
you're a great quarterback...
306
00:17:47,156 --> 00:17:48,690
and I'm gonna keep it 100
with you:
307
00:17:48,826 --> 00:17:50,259
one of the best
I've ever seen.
308
00:17:50,394 --> 00:17:51,927
But this shit?
309
00:17:54,298 --> 00:17:55,469
Uh-uh.
310
00:17:56,834 --> 00:17:58,637
You gonna embarrass
yourself, bruh.
311
00:18:01,940 --> 00:18:04,447
Look, man, you ain't
gotta come with me.
312
00:18:04,582 --> 00:18:07,415
All I'm asking is that
you don't come out against me.
313
00:18:13,185 --> 00:18:14,454
All right.
314
00:18:14,589 --> 00:18:16,490
I'll watch this show
as long as you want,
315
00:18:16,626 --> 00:18:18,723
but I ain't gettin'
a hundred yards from it.
316
00:18:28,772 --> 00:18:30,504
Good luck.
317
00:18:56,895 --> 00:18:59,670
Mmm, I cannot believe
that you are here,
318
00:18:59,805 --> 00:19:01,131
you little sneak.
319
00:19:02,766 --> 00:19:04,937
You know
you love surprises.
320
00:19:05,073 --> 00:19:06,972
I do. I do.
321
00:19:07,107 --> 00:19:08,609
I just...
322
00:19:08,745 --> 00:19:11,182
I just wish you had a seat
next to me at the game.
323
00:19:11,317 --> 00:19:13,343
That's not exactly
the reason I came.
324
00:19:13,479 --> 00:19:15,879
Fine by me.
325
00:19:21,653 --> 00:19:23,293
I'm gonna take the job.
326
00:19:24,393 --> 00:19:26,296
Get a break
from the university.
327
00:19:28,568 --> 00:19:29,662
Rome?
328
00:19:31,204 --> 00:19:34,130
Hard to turn down
a year teaching abroad.
329
00:19:34,266 --> 00:19:35,898
Yeah.
330
00:19:36,034 --> 00:19:39,133
Yeah, I get that.
I totally get that.
331
00:19:41,778 --> 00:19:46,217
I just had one little,
tiny little question,
Mr. Poet.
332
00:19:48,712 --> 00:19:51,215
Or is it "philosopher"?
333
00:19:51,351 --> 00:19:54,390
What about us?
334
00:19:55,789 --> 00:19:57,721
We're a hotel-room
romance.
335
00:19:57,857 --> 00:19:59,394
Well, now you're just
being a dick.
336
00:19:59,529 --> 00:20:01,862
You know
what I'm saying.
Fuck you.
337
00:20:01,998 --> 00:20:03,427
Come visit.
338
00:20:03,562 --> 00:20:05,896
"Come visit." Grazie.
339
00:20:14,110 --> 00:20:15,477
I don't know.
340
00:20:17,476 --> 00:20:19,008
Maybe I want more.
341
00:20:42,500 --> 00:20:43,604
You all right?
342
00:20:44,503 --> 00:20:45,903
Fucking nerves, man.
343
00:20:47,210 --> 00:20:48,708
Just breathe through it.
344
00:20:50,679 --> 00:20:53,317
You got this.
You're fresh as ever.
345
00:21:04,422 --> 00:21:07,329
Habibi, this is a long way
to Frenchmen Street.
346
00:21:07,465 --> 00:21:09,624
Yeah, we like taking in
the sights, Ned.
347
00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:11,734
Okay. Your money.
348
00:21:40,596 --> 00:21:42,998
We're sure
walking the talk now.
349
00:21:43,133 --> 00:21:44,828
What, you want out?
350
00:21:44,963 --> 00:21:46,767
Shit, I'm going
back to the farm.
351
00:21:46,902 --> 00:21:49,164
You're the one who's got
everything to lose.
352
00:21:51,308 --> 00:21:53,135
Glad we huddled
up on that.
353
00:21:54,778 --> 00:21:58,316
Keep her running, Ned.
We may have to dine and dash.
354
00:22:03,147 --> 00:22:04,884
LeMarcus, Cathy Levy.
Nice to meet you.
355
00:22:05,019 --> 00:22:07,452
Yeah, nice to meet you.
This is Em.
Are you okay?
356
00:22:07,588 --> 00:22:10,688
Peachy, yeah. Just, uh,
ankle gets a little stiff
if I sit too long.
357
00:22:10,823 --> 00:22:12,294
Thanks for agreeing
to do this.
358
00:22:12,430 --> 00:22:14,491
Are you kidding?
Thanks for calling.
359
00:22:19,002 --> 00:22:21,537
Whenever you're ready,
go ahead and take
a seat for me.
360
00:22:22,665 --> 00:22:23,836
Holy shit.
361
00:22:25,773 --> 00:22:27,641
Damn, you look good
ten stories high.
362
00:22:27,776 --> 00:22:30,205
Just had to put that
in the background, huh?
363
00:22:33,447 --> 00:22:34,851
Here goes nothing.
364
00:22:34,986 --> 00:22:36,354
Go get 'em.
365
00:22:40,827 --> 00:22:42,426
Wait, wait.
366
00:22:46,759 --> 00:22:48,399
You ready?
367
00:22:49,331 --> 00:22:50,962
We're recording.
368
00:23:05,441 --> 00:23:07,681
"I'm personally asking
all players
369
00:23:07,816 --> 00:23:09,547
in Monday's
national title game
370
00:23:09,683 --> 00:23:11,780
to join me in this protest
371
00:23:11,915 --> 00:23:13,514
and resulting boycott,
372
00:23:13,649 --> 00:23:16,222
in order to demand that
the NCAA and its affiliates
373
00:23:16,358 --> 00:23:19,862
end their practice
of unpaid labor for the
majority of their workforce,
374
00:23:19,998 --> 00:23:24,696
a practice which results
in $18.9 billion a year
in total revenue
375
00:23:24,832 --> 00:23:26,603
for a system which,
in turn,
376
00:23:26,739 --> 00:23:30,067
only spends $3.6 billion
on athletic scholarships."
377
00:23:31,402 --> 00:23:35,275
Where does the other 15-plus
billion dollars go, you ask?
378
00:23:35,411 --> 00:23:36,875
Well, I'll tell you:
379
00:23:37,010 --> 00:23:39,208
to an extremely lucrative
oligarchy.
380
00:23:40,517 --> 00:23:42,213
"The president of the NCAA
381
00:23:42,348 --> 00:23:45,450
received a salaryof $3.9 million last year.
382
00:23:45,586 --> 00:23:47,923
The commissionersof the top fivepower conferences
383
00:23:48,058 --> 00:23:51,188
receive an average salaryof $4 million each year.
384
00:23:51,323 --> 00:23:53,220
The latest ESPN contractfor TV rights
385
00:23:53,356 --> 00:23:54,829
to the college footballplay-offs
386
00:23:54,964 --> 00:23:58,462
is $7.3 billionover the next 12 years."
387
00:23:58,597 --> 00:24:02,867
That's over $600 milliona year for three games.
388
00:24:03,002 --> 00:24:06,070
That's the reasonthey're expandingthe play-offs to 12 games.
389
00:24:12,217 --> 00:24:15,278
My coach, James Lazor,
390
00:24:15,413 --> 00:24:17,917
receives an annual salaryof $5 million,
391
00:24:18,053 --> 00:24:20,447
plus up to a million dollarsin on-the-field bonuses,
392
00:24:20,582 --> 00:24:22,819
includingthe national title game.
393
00:24:22,955 --> 00:24:24,826
You see, all of this money
394
00:24:24,962 --> 00:24:28,158
is predicated on oneunderlying principle:
395
00:24:29,167 --> 00:24:30,964
free labor.
396
00:24:31,099 --> 00:24:33,103
It is un-American,it is exploitative,
397
00:24:33,239 --> 00:24:35,930
and it speaksto the darkest spotsin the national soul.
398
00:24:36,065 --> 00:24:39,773
Now, it is not enoughfor some of us to be ableto use our name and likeness,
399
00:24:39,908 --> 00:24:42,839
which, make no mistake,costs them nothing.
400
00:24:42,975 --> 00:24:45,109
So our demandsare as follows:
401
00:24:46,578 --> 00:24:48,146
"One,
402
00:24:48,282 --> 00:24:50,485
the creationof non-revocable,player-controlled trusts
403
00:24:50,621 --> 00:24:52,753
for every Division Ivarsity athlete.
404
00:24:52,889 --> 00:24:55,256
Number two,the NCAA will form
405
00:24:55,391 --> 00:24:57,688
and contributeto a player'sdisability pension
406
00:24:57,824 --> 00:24:59,355
for Division I athletes
407
00:24:59,490 --> 00:25:01,562
who are injuredfrom college athletics."
408
00:25:01,697 --> 00:25:03,798
Shit.
"And number three,
409
00:25:03,933 --> 00:25:05,793
the NCAA willofficially recognize
410
00:25:05,928 --> 00:25:08,169
and collectively bargainwith the players' union,
411
00:25:08,304 --> 00:25:11,472
submitting to allfederally mandated lawsand guidelines
412
00:25:11,608 --> 00:25:13,742
of a unionized workforce."
413
00:25:13,877 --> 00:25:17,745
In this, the NCAA
will recognize players
414
00:25:17,881 --> 00:25:21,178
as employees
and not student athletes.
415
00:25:22,615 --> 00:25:24,181
Thank you.
416
00:25:41,364 --> 00:25:44,172
He said he'd be
right over, so...
417
00:25:45,706 --> 00:25:47,834
Got a lot on his plate.
418
00:25:49,577 --> 00:25:50,874
Hey, there he is.
419
00:25:51,010 --> 00:25:52,875
All right.
Good morning, Coach.
420
00:25:53,011 --> 00:25:56,644
Thanks for coming over
so quick. This is
Wes Martin from the Big 12.
421
00:25:56,780 --> 00:25:58,952
He's gonna be our enemy for
the next 48 hours.
422
00:25:59,087 --> 00:26:01,450
- Kevin McDonald from the CFP.
- We met yesterday.
423
00:26:01,585 --> 00:26:05,119
And Mike Titus, Senior VP,
Championships, D-I football.
424
00:26:05,255 --> 00:26:06,696
James, we've actually met.
425
00:26:06,831 --> 00:26:09,032
Yeah, at the Outback Bowl
two seasons ago.
426
00:26:09,167 --> 00:26:12,063
That's right.
You have come a long way.
Looks like you have too.
427
00:26:12,198 --> 00:26:14,895
Yes, indeed.
Please have a seat.
428
00:26:15,030 --> 00:26:16,806
Real, uh...
429
00:26:16,942 --> 00:26:19,777
- Real mess we got here.
- Well, not really.
430
00:26:19,912 --> 00:26:22,242
I just need to
get with LeMarcus
and talk things through.
431
00:26:22,377 --> 00:26:24,779
These kids don't
fully understand
what they're doing.
432
00:26:24,914 --> 00:26:27,180
A coach and his quarterback.
No closer bond.
433
00:26:27,316 --> 00:26:30,610
You were
a quarterback yourself
back in the day, am I right?
434
00:26:30,746 --> 00:26:32,920
Coaches are just players
who can't play anymore.
435
00:26:33,856 --> 00:26:35,425
You still don't know
where he is?
436
00:26:35,561 --> 00:26:37,551
- What?
- Where LeMarcus is.
437
00:26:37,687 --> 00:26:40,194
We're broadcasting this game
in 160 countries.
438
00:26:40,330 --> 00:26:42,800
They're all tuning in
to watch him go
against Cecil Burgess.
439
00:26:42,935 --> 00:26:45,592
I love these marketing guys.
You know that LeMarcus and Cecil
440
00:26:45,727 --> 00:26:48,433
both play offense,
so they won't be facing off.
441
00:26:48,568 --> 00:26:51,431
I know how
the game works, Coach.
Look, LeMarcus is around.
442
00:26:51,567 --> 00:26:53,206
He's probably
in the hotel somewhere.
443
00:26:53,341 --> 00:26:55,437
I just haven't had a chance
to get with him yet.
444
00:26:57,841 --> 00:27:01,346
Coach, I think it's best
if the NCAA took
the reins here.
445
00:27:01,482 --> 00:27:03,912
We're more of an impartial jury.
We just want a great game.
446
00:27:04,047 --> 00:27:06,851
Well, I think that's what
all of us want, right?
Yes, it is.
447
00:27:06,987 --> 00:27:10,724
That's why we were hoping
you could shed some light
on this young man.
448
00:27:10,860 --> 00:27:12,987
LeMarcus.
What's his character?
449
00:27:13,122 --> 00:27:14,896
He's a good kid.
450
00:27:15,031 --> 00:27:18,001
He's just, uh...
Like a lot of kids his age,
451
00:27:18,136 --> 00:27:20,933
maybe he's a little too fond
of the spotlight and its perks.
452
00:27:21,068 --> 00:27:23,837
Hell, if I was
the best QB in the country,
I think I'd be bouncin' 'em
453
00:27:23,973 --> 00:27:26,435
out of my apartment
three at a time, huh?
454
00:27:26,570 --> 00:27:29,409
LeMarcus
is not a troublemaker, okay?
455
00:27:29,545 --> 00:27:33,475
I want to be
very clear on this.
LeMarcus is a good person.
456
00:27:34,544 --> 00:27:37,785
He's just a kid
with too much power
457
00:27:37,921 --> 00:27:40,482
who, I don't know,
had a bad tweet.
458
00:27:40,617 --> 00:27:43,089
- And interview.
- Okay.
459
00:27:43,224 --> 00:27:45,523
Well, you know,
Coach is gonna right
this ship.
460
00:27:45,658 --> 00:27:47,490
- He just needs a little more time, right?
- Yep.
461
00:27:47,625 --> 00:27:50,898
- You think somebody got to him?
- "Somebody"?
462
00:27:51,033 --> 00:27:53,830
Like an organized labor rep,
an ACLU lawyer?
463
00:27:53,966 --> 00:27:55,497
Maybe the Russians.
464
00:27:57,306 --> 00:28:00,008
That's a fucking joke, guys.
Huh. Come on, guys.
465
00:28:00,143 --> 00:28:03,172
Look, LeMarcus, from sixth,
seventh grade on,
466
00:28:03,307 --> 00:28:05,079
they're big men on campus.
467
00:28:05,214 --> 00:28:07,881
He and Emmett,
they still think
this is playtime here.
468
00:28:08,017 --> 00:28:09,985
They don't understand
the world stage.
469
00:28:10,120 --> 00:28:12,149
They don't understand
the implications here.
470
00:28:12,285 --> 00:28:13,824
They just asked
to collectively bargain.
471
00:28:13,959 --> 00:28:16,188
They want to destroy
the student-athlete
designation.
472
00:28:16,323 --> 00:28:18,862
Not the demands of some kids
spitting in the wind.
473
00:28:18,997 --> 00:28:20,387
You telling me I don't
know my own players?
474
00:28:20,523 --> 00:28:22,060
I'm saying
you might be in denial
475
00:28:22,196 --> 00:28:23,765
about what is actually
happening right now.
476
00:28:23,901 --> 00:28:25,599
Come on, Wes.
That's over the line.
477
00:28:25,735 --> 00:28:27,667
Is it?
Yes, it is.
478
00:28:27,803 --> 00:28:30,569
Coach, what they're
asking for is bigger
than football or one game.
479
00:28:30,705 --> 00:28:32,142
Understood.
It's our entire
amateur athletics program
480
00:28:32,277 --> 00:28:33,800
in the country.
481
00:28:33,935 --> 00:28:37,745
That's 24 sports
for young men and women,
gone.
482
00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:40,282
Hundreds of thousands
of students,
483
00:28:40,418 --> 00:28:41,716
student athletes,
484
00:28:41,851 --> 00:28:44,417
being denied
a college experience.
485
00:28:44,553 --> 00:28:47,725
We're 40-somethin' hours
to kickoff here, guys.
486
00:28:47,860 --> 00:28:49,651
We need to make sure
everybody's suiting up.
487
00:28:49,786 --> 00:28:51,787
There hasn't been a single
defection from our side.
488
00:28:51,922 --> 00:28:53,794
It's theirs
that's falling apart.
489
00:28:53,929 --> 00:28:55,895
Hey. Nothing's
falling apart.
490
00:28:56,031 --> 00:28:57,995
Okay? Everybody relax
a little bit.
491
00:28:58,130 --> 00:29:00,762
Three wide receivers
just tweeted, "We're in."
492
00:29:00,898 --> 00:29:04,271
With a hashtag that's going
viral: "Fix the system."
493
00:29:04,407 --> 00:29:07,943
Your other two stars,
Bishop and Cornelius,
could be next.
494
00:29:08,078 --> 00:29:10,605
Orlando Bishop
is my one and only captain.
495
00:29:10,740 --> 00:29:13,410
He is team first.
He's not going anywhere.
496
00:29:13,545 --> 00:29:16,681
And Cornelius, frankly,
can't stand LeMarcus.
497
00:29:16,816 --> 00:29:19,212
He wouldn't follow him
into the Garden of Eden.
He'll play.
498
00:29:19,348 --> 00:29:23,457
One linebacker
ain't plugging this hole.
You're taking on water fast.
499
00:29:23,593 --> 00:29:25,928
Hey! He got blindsided
just like the rest of us,
all right?
500
00:29:26,064 --> 00:29:28,331
There's no reason
to keep attacking him.
501
00:29:28,466 --> 00:29:30,232
Here's an idea.
502
00:29:30,367 --> 00:29:33,465
Lean on the sophomores
and freshmen who have
something to lose.
503
00:29:33,601 --> 00:29:36,236
They won't want to risk
the eligibility over this.
504
00:29:37,139 --> 00:29:38,908
You'd love that,
wouldn't you, Wes?
505
00:29:39,043 --> 00:29:41,603
We all know I can't field
a competitive team
506
00:29:41,739 --> 00:29:44,473
with a bunch of 18-year-olds
that haven't played
507
00:29:44,608 --> 00:29:47,115
a meaningful snap
since high school.
508
00:29:47,251 --> 00:29:50,051
Fuck that. I'd rather not
field a team at all.
509
00:29:51,450 --> 00:29:53,747
I'm afraid
that's not an option.
510
00:29:57,824 --> 00:30:00,820
We wouldn't need any options
if I could get with
my quarterback
511
00:30:00,956 --> 00:30:03,999
instead of sitting around
this circle jerk.
512
00:30:06,202 --> 00:30:08,203
Thanks for coming, Coach.
513
00:30:08,339 --> 00:30:09,631
You bet.
514
00:30:10,768 --> 00:30:13,200
- Thanks for coming down.
- Don't lecture my guy.
515
00:30:13,335 --> 00:30:16,312
Thought you had your conference
under control, Everly.
We got nothin'.
516
00:30:16,448 --> 00:30:19,179
- We got time.
- - Time is the one thing we don't have.
517
00:30:19,315 --> 00:30:21,676
We got a little bit.
We'll be fine.
518
00:30:28,826 --> 00:30:30,353
All right.
The Death Star awaits.
519
00:30:30,489 --> 00:30:32,487
The Cougars are staying
on the 17th floor.
520
00:30:32,622 --> 00:30:34,127
There's a stairway
around the back.
521
00:30:34,263 --> 00:30:35,932
Let's go get this done
and get out of here.
522
00:30:36,067 --> 00:30:38,000
Keep it running, Ned.
We'll be back in 20.
523
00:30:38,135 --> 00:30:40,166
Eat, nigga, eat!
524
00:30:40,301 --> 00:30:42,336
I'm nice. I'm nice.
525
00:30:42,471 --> 00:30:45,966
Watch this bucket
right here. Bucket!
526
00:30:46,102 --> 00:30:47,138
Hold on.
527
00:30:47,273 --> 00:30:48,978
Hey, don't fuckin' cheat.
528
00:30:51,080 --> 00:30:53,147
Hello, Roc.
Emmett Sunday, esquire.
529
00:30:54,115 --> 00:30:56,018
You may know me
from such hits
530
00:30:56,153 --> 00:30:57,880
as Last Standat the Texas Stadium,
531
00:30:58,015 --> 00:30:59,818
Destructionat the Peach Bowl...
That's not funny.
532
00:30:59,954 --> 00:31:02,289
I'm number 82.
Yeah, the tight end.
What the fuck do you want?
533
00:31:02,425 --> 00:31:04,522
The one and only.
Mind if I come in
for a sec? Thanks.
534
00:31:04,658 --> 00:31:06,459
Hold on. You just gonna
walk in my room like that?
535
00:31:06,595 --> 00:31:08,494
Cecil, what's going on, man?
Emmett Sunday. How you doing?
536
00:31:08,630 --> 00:31:11,267
Just gonna turn on...
Why you turning
on my light like that?
537
00:31:11,402 --> 00:31:14,371
- I'm just gonna
turn off this TV.
- Yo, white boy.
538
00:31:14,506 --> 00:31:17,832
Chill out and let me know
why the fuck you in my room
before I fight you.
539
00:31:17,968 --> 00:31:20,143
Cecil, you mind
if I show you something
for a second?
540
00:31:20,278 --> 00:31:22,175
- It may help make my case.
- All right, man, go ahead.
541
00:31:22,310 --> 00:31:24,240
He's been replying
real quick. Hold on.
542
00:31:24,375 --> 00:31:26,539
Yeah, there you go.
Hold on.
543
00:31:26,675 --> 00:31:28,578
Nah, nah, nah.
This way first.
544
00:31:30,519 --> 00:31:33,222
Get the fuck out of here.
I ain't fucking with you.
545
00:31:33,357 --> 00:31:35,420
Yo, this is LeBron, nigga.
Look.
That's LeBron.
546
00:31:35,555 --> 00:31:37,390
LeBron DM'd these fucks.
That's the king.
547
00:31:37,525 --> 00:31:39,423
Oh, shit! He just said
"What's up?" to you.
548
00:31:39,558 --> 00:31:41,028
Yeah, 'cause
he knows you're here.
549
00:31:41,163 --> 00:31:43,229
How the fuck you get
LeBron to DM you?
550
00:31:43,364 --> 00:31:45,101
We're buddies, man.
And I was thinking,
551
00:31:45,236 --> 00:31:47,194
Clutch just started
a new football division
to rep,
552
00:31:47,330 --> 00:31:50,669
and I was thinking, hell,
maybe I just put in
a good word for you two.
553
00:31:50,804 --> 00:31:54,370
Fly over to LA,
the land of big lips,
fake tits, and sunshine.
554
00:31:54,506 --> 00:31:56,279
I love fake titties.
I know. Me too.
555
00:31:56,415 --> 00:31:58,714
And you sit down
with LeBron and Maverick
and have a conversation.
556
00:31:58,849 --> 00:32:02,446
Grab lunch with LeBron in LA?
You know I love tacos, nigga.
Hold on. How we do that?
557
00:32:02,582 --> 00:32:04,853
It's a little weird.
I need your phones.
558
00:32:04,988 --> 00:32:06,880
- My phone?
- I just need your phone.
559
00:32:08,861 --> 00:32:11,555
Fuck it.
Hey, it's LeBron. Here.
560
00:32:11,690 --> 00:32:13,756
Come on,
give him your phone.
Come on, Cecil.
561
00:32:13,891 --> 00:32:16,293
I ain't gonna do
anything weird with it.
Come on.
562
00:32:16,429 --> 00:32:17,968
You can keep my phone
as collateral.
563
00:32:18,103 --> 00:32:20,634
Collateral and shit.
I'ma pocket this bitch.
564
00:32:20,769 --> 00:32:21,799
Don't move.
565
00:32:21,935 --> 00:32:24,403
Yeah. Yeah.
566
00:32:24,539 --> 00:32:26,775
- Bruh, LeBron.
- LeBron, though.
567
00:32:26,911 --> 00:32:28,506
What's happening, fellas?
568
00:32:29,474 --> 00:32:32,138
Surprise, surprise.
Shit.
569
00:32:32,274 --> 00:32:35,448
-Not LeBron.
-So, what's up?
I know y'all seen it.
570
00:32:35,583 --> 00:32:37,786
- Yeah, we seen it.
- What y'all think?
571
00:32:37,921 --> 00:32:39,814
Hoping y'all gonna join us.
572
00:32:40,958 --> 00:32:42,549
And skip out
on the title game?
573
00:32:42,685 --> 00:32:43,959
Man, you out
your fucking mind.
574
00:32:44,095 --> 00:32:46,023
- For real.
- Yeah, probably.
575
00:32:46,158 --> 00:32:48,262
It's gonna take
a little crazy to get
it done though, ain't it?
576
00:32:48,397 --> 00:32:51,164
Yeah, but he's Kiper's
number one back.
577
00:32:51,300 --> 00:32:53,102
Going eighth to Baltimore
at the latest.
578
00:32:53,237 --> 00:32:55,300
He ain't risking that
fucking with y'all.
579
00:32:55,435 --> 00:32:57,397
Hmm. Buffalo should
take him at three.
580
00:32:57,532 --> 00:33:00,367
- They're going tackle.
- Maybe Miami gets smart
and takes you at one.
581
00:33:00,502 --> 00:33:03,713
-Then where you gonna go?
-Me? Shit.
CFL after this, probably.
582
00:33:05,578 --> 00:33:07,343
Yeah, Saskatchewan
or some shit like that.
583
00:33:07,478 --> 00:33:10,245
Saskatchewan?
Listen.
584
00:33:10,381 --> 00:33:13,287
They're still gonna find
a way to play this game
without me and Emmett.
585
00:33:14,483 --> 00:33:16,116
We gonna need you.
586
00:33:16,251 --> 00:33:18,452
The Haitian Hammer,
running wild on all those
TV promos.
587
00:33:18,587 --> 00:33:21,391
Come watch him put up
500 yards in a single game.
Hell, I'd go to see it.
588
00:33:21,527 --> 00:33:23,122
Yeah, maybe then he goes
number one.
589
00:33:23,258 --> 00:33:25,368
But if he sits, they gonna
Kaepernick him like you.
590
00:33:25,503 --> 00:33:28,030
Hmm.
Come on, bruh. You might
fall out the first round.
591
00:33:28,165 --> 00:33:30,465
Do y'all even know
what the rookie minimum
is down there?
592
00:33:30,601 --> 00:33:33,967
Probably not, but they
taking backs in the third
or fourth round nowadays.
593
00:33:34,102 --> 00:33:35,542
Four years and done,
we're back in the hood.
594
00:33:35,677 --> 00:33:38,448
That is why we gotta stick
together on this, fellas.
595
00:33:38,583 --> 00:33:40,477
Think about it.
596
00:33:40,612 --> 00:33:42,149
If we all sit,
what are they gonna do?
597
00:33:42,284 --> 00:33:45,382
Hmm? It's called
collective action.
598
00:33:45,518 --> 00:33:47,651
Fuck you learn
a big word like that?
599
00:33:48,717 --> 00:33:50,159
Intro to Organized Labor.
600
00:33:50,294 --> 00:33:53,357
A class?
He talking 'bout a class.
601
00:33:53,492 --> 00:33:56,895
Only class
you probably took was Intro
to Organized Dick-sucking.
602
00:33:57,030 --> 00:33:59,534
- Flap your gums
'cause you're scared.
- Scared of what? You?
603
00:33:59,669 --> 00:34:01,498
Scared you're gonna be
teaching high-school PE
next year.
604
00:34:01,634 --> 00:34:02,939
I know this is my last game,
same as you.
605
00:34:03,075 --> 00:34:05,002
Fuck you.
I'm playing in the League.
606
00:34:05,138 --> 00:34:07,571
Hey, look,
we ain't come here
for all that, all right?
607
00:34:07,707 --> 00:34:10,003
Look, me and E are serious
about this.
608
00:34:11,545 --> 00:34:14,177
We just came here
to let y'all know.
609
00:34:14,313 --> 00:34:16,880
Sleep on it. Pray on it.
610
00:34:17,016 --> 00:34:19,422
- Look, I appreciate y'all.
- Yeah. All right, yeah.
611
00:34:19,557 --> 00:34:21,452
All right.
612
00:34:21,588 --> 00:34:24,725
No hard feelings.
Yeah, no hard feelings.
613
00:34:24,861 --> 00:34:26,889
Collective action.
614
00:34:27,024 --> 00:34:30,699
Man, I hope we get
to play those guys.
Go ahead, Ned.
615
00:34:30,834 --> 00:34:33,528
If we don't get Cecil
on board, we're gonna
need the whole squad,
616
00:34:33,664 --> 00:34:35,038
or we ain't
playing shit.
617
00:34:35,174 --> 00:34:37,404
We get the younger guys,
Orlando will come too.
618
00:34:38,833 --> 00:34:40,669
Hey, get
Bob Reynolds a note.
619
00:34:40,805 --> 00:34:43,039
Tell him we'll give him
the exclusive.
620
00:34:43,174 --> 00:34:44,576
Copy that.
621
00:34:49,717 --> 00:34:52,052
Wonder how many of these
we've gone through already.
622
00:34:59,393 --> 00:35:01,089
We don't want
nobody to know.
623
00:35:01,225 --> 00:35:02,756
The press or anybody.
We don't even know
that he sits.
624
00:35:02,891 --> 00:35:04,690
Okay? Make sure
you keep them out.
625
00:35:32,124 --> 00:35:35,132
We all present
and accounted for, Scotty?
Yes, sir.
626
00:35:36,897 --> 00:35:39,397
LeMarcus James,
for those of you
who are not familiar,
627
00:35:39,532 --> 00:35:41,169
won the Heisman Trophy
this year.
628
00:35:41,304 --> 00:35:43,568
Most famous player
in college football.
629
00:35:43,704 --> 00:35:45,732
Picture's 130 feet tall
across the street,
630
00:35:45,867 --> 00:35:48,311
and now you're telling me,
what, he's the fucking
Invisible Man?
631
00:35:48,446 --> 00:35:50,505
We're working
with hotel security, Coach.
632
00:35:50,640 --> 00:35:53,216
They went out a fire exit
without a camera.
That's how we lost 'em.
633
00:35:53,352 --> 00:35:56,144
Well, the media found him,
didn't they?
634
00:35:56,280 --> 00:35:58,449
I don't know.
Maybe I should ask
LeBron James for help
635
00:35:58,584 --> 00:36:00,653
instead of you
simple snowflakes,
636
00:36:00,788 --> 00:36:03,850
who I feed, clothe
and pay six figures a year.
637
00:36:03,985 --> 00:36:05,861
Or get a free
top-tier education.
638
00:36:05,997 --> 00:36:08,130
This is a fucking
manhunt.
639
00:36:08,266 --> 00:36:10,633
Find me LeMarcus James
and Emmett Sunday,
640
00:36:10,769 --> 00:36:12,931
or I swear to God,
641
00:36:13,067 --> 00:36:16,364
the next coaching job
any of you get within
shitting distance of
642
00:36:16,499 --> 00:36:20,309
is gonna be JV
at the fucking
Little Sisters of the Poor.
643
00:36:21,743 --> 00:36:24,378
Go! Get out there!
Go fucking find him, now!
644
00:36:24,513 --> 00:36:26,645
We'll find him, Coach.
Goddamn it.
645
00:36:30,118 --> 00:36:31,881
Goddamn.
646
00:36:34,960 --> 00:36:36,754
Come on, fellas.
Eat up.
647
00:36:39,164 --> 00:36:41,990
Y'all can hate me
all you want.
648
00:36:42,126 --> 00:36:44,466
I ain't the one
y'all should be hatin'.
649
00:36:44,601 --> 00:36:47,670
Ain't me cashing out
on millions of dollars
a year
650
00:36:47,806 --> 00:36:50,666
while y'all can't pay rent,
can't put gas in y'all whips.
651
00:36:50,801 --> 00:36:52,840
If you even have a whip.
652
00:36:52,975 --> 00:36:55,037
For 55 years,
653
00:36:55,173 --> 00:36:58,413
guys like you ate, drank,
fucked and played ball.
654
00:36:58,548 --> 00:37:00,680
We're just happy with
a free education, right?
655
00:37:00,816 --> 00:37:03,076
Nice free suit?
That shit'll keep us
happy, right?
656
00:37:03,212 --> 00:37:05,385
They know how to get us.
But not no more, okay?
657
00:37:05,520 --> 00:37:07,724
This shit is capitalism
at its finest.
658
00:37:07,859 --> 00:37:09,425
Greed at its worst.
659
00:37:09,561 --> 00:37:12,759
Everybody around us
got private jets
and private chefs,
660
00:37:12,895 --> 00:37:15,489
and we can't even
accept a fucking
free meal as a gift.
661
00:37:15,625 --> 00:37:17,726
Yeah. Yeah, that's right.
That pizza slice
right there,
662
00:37:17,861 --> 00:37:19,565
double fistin'
with them shits,
663
00:37:19,700 --> 00:37:22,065
that kid kicked out
of college twice. Shit.
664
00:37:22,201 --> 00:37:25,437
And we out there
every single day.
Blood, sweat and tears.
665
00:37:25,572 --> 00:37:27,035
You remember
your ankle, bro? Hmm?
666
00:37:27,171 --> 00:37:28,941
Remember when it swole up
like a watermelon?
667
00:37:29,077 --> 00:37:31,747
They shot you up,
and they made you play,
didn't they? Huh?
668
00:37:31,883 --> 00:37:34,142
Think about how that shit
gonna make you feel
in 30 years.
669
00:37:34,277 --> 00:37:36,312
You ain't got no medical.
You got insurance?
670
00:37:36,447 --> 00:37:38,820
What you gonna fix
your broken body with, huh?
Duct tape?
671
00:37:38,955 --> 00:37:40,952
Gorilla Glue the shits
back together?
What we gonna do?
672
00:37:41,088 --> 00:37:42,753
That's how y'all got to be
thinking about this.
673
00:37:42,888 --> 00:37:44,424
Where do we want to be
in 30 years from now?
674
00:37:44,560 --> 00:37:47,187
It starts right now.
It starts right here.
675
00:37:51,731 --> 00:37:53,094
Who bought
all this Pizza Hut?
676
00:37:57,233 --> 00:37:59,167
Look,
I'll be the first to say it.
677
00:37:59,303 --> 00:38:01,742
Lazor's taught me a lot
about more than just football.
678
00:38:01,878 --> 00:38:04,639
But what I began to realize
is I was being brainwashed,
679
00:38:04,775 --> 00:38:06,641
just like all of y'all.
680
00:38:06,777 --> 00:38:09,619
Scared of speaking up
because it was easy
to go along to get along.
681
00:38:09,755 --> 00:38:11,821
Don't let them tell you
there ain't enough
to go around.
682
00:38:11,956 --> 00:38:14,484
They got so much money,
they don't even know
where to put the shits.
683
00:38:14,619 --> 00:38:16,091
Y'all okay with that?
684
00:38:16,227 --> 00:38:18,221
All right.
You okay with that?
685
00:38:18,356 --> 00:38:21,292
Guys, don't think
this isn't a two-way street.
686
00:38:21,428 --> 00:38:23,325
Where do you green fucks
687
00:38:23,460 --> 00:38:27,264
think you're transferring to
if I bury your ass
on the pine?
688
00:38:27,400 --> 00:38:29,939
I own your future.
689
00:38:30,075 --> 00:38:33,600
Where the hell
is LeMarcus?
690
00:38:33,736 --> 00:38:35,674
Let's be real.
691
00:38:35,810 --> 00:38:38,148
There are 12,500
draft-eligible players
692
00:38:38,283 --> 00:38:40,546
for the NFL
every single year,
693
00:38:40,681 --> 00:38:42,579
and only 300 of us
get drafted.
694
00:38:42,714 --> 00:38:44,981
That means
over 12,000 of us
695
00:38:45,117 --> 00:38:47,356
participate
in a multi-billion-
dollar industry
696
00:38:47,492 --> 00:38:48,983
that won't even give us
health insurance.
697
00:38:49,119 --> 00:38:51,620
And yet, they selling us
the pearly gates?
698
00:38:51,755 --> 00:38:53,621
Zed,
you got a resume?
699
00:38:53,756 --> 00:38:55,757
Internship? Why not?
700
00:38:55,893 --> 00:38:58,059
'Cause you been playing
D-I football for the last
three years, right?
701
00:38:58,194 --> 00:38:59,899
That's right.
And they make you work it
702
00:39:00,035 --> 00:39:02,631
like it's a full-time job,
don't they? That's right.
703
00:39:02,767 --> 00:39:05,533
What about all those bullshit
classes they make you take
to stay on the field, huh?
704
00:39:05,668 --> 00:39:07,843
Hey, you remember
the Swahili shit
y'all was taking?
705
00:39:07,978 --> 00:39:11,044
Swahili? How do you say,
"Do you want fries with that?"
in Swahili?
706
00:39:11,179 --> 00:39:14,213
Guess what, fellas.
When y'all get out there
in the real world,
707
00:39:14,349 --> 00:39:16,178
out there in the jungle,
708
00:39:16,313 --> 00:39:17,981
it ain't no fun
when you broke as a joke.
709
00:39:18,117 --> 00:39:20,653
Tell us where he's at.
I'm taking it back.
710
00:39:20,788 --> 00:39:23,692
He at the W,
stayin' under a fake name.
711
00:39:23,828 --> 00:39:25,520
Okay.
712
00:39:25,655 --> 00:39:27,327
Barack Gambino.
713
00:39:27,463 --> 00:39:30,094
Barack Gambino, man?
Seriously?
714
00:39:30,230 --> 00:39:31,533
Bank it.
715
00:39:33,397 --> 00:39:36,069
And even if it means
the death of me,
y'all can say,
716
00:39:36,204 --> 00:39:40,233
"I got caught up
with that crazy motherfucker
and his dreams of glory.
717
00:39:40,369 --> 00:39:42,370
And if I can do it,
then we can do it,
718
00:39:42,506 --> 00:39:45,378
and we could set ourselves up
and future generations
to come.
719
00:39:45,513 --> 00:39:47,312
Tell 'em about the barn, LJ.
720
00:39:47,448 --> 00:39:49,911
'Cause there
is a barn in Galilee
with grain filled so high
721
00:39:50,047 --> 00:39:51,554
that they won't even
sell it all.
722
00:39:51,689 --> 00:39:54,154
And you know what God says?
He says, "You poor fools.
723
00:39:54,289 --> 00:39:57,352
You may think that you're rich,
but you are poor
in the eyes of God."
724
00:39:57,487 --> 00:40:00,958
Why? Because
my people are hungry,
and your barn is full.
725
00:40:01,094 --> 00:40:03,729
- Make it plain!
- There is a barn in Galilee
726
00:40:03,864 --> 00:40:06,198
filled with grain,
and we out here starving.
727
00:40:06,333 --> 00:40:08,069
God is with us.
728
00:40:08,204 --> 00:40:11,571
He says
there is nothing to lose.
There is nothing to fear.
729
00:40:11,707 --> 00:40:15,544
I am here, and there is
nothing to fear!
730
00:40:34,296 --> 00:40:36,059
Boo.
731
00:40:36,900 --> 00:40:38,230
Boo.
732
00:40:47,605 --> 00:40:49,075
Come with me.
733
00:40:51,081 --> 00:40:53,109
I plan to, baby.
734
00:40:55,349 --> 00:40:57,146
I mean it.
735
00:40:58,518 --> 00:40:59,984
Start a new chapter.
736
00:41:03,426 --> 00:41:05,627
You really
want me there?
737
00:41:07,393 --> 00:41:08,465
I do.
738
00:41:10,166 --> 00:41:11,501
Really?
739
00:41:48,697 --> 00:41:50,831
Give it upfor French Montana!
740
00:41:52,476 --> 00:41:55,143
You like that?
You like that, baby?
741
00:41:55,279 --> 00:41:56,469
That was for y'all.
742
00:42:00,781 --> 00:42:02,844
Keep 'em coming.
You got it.
743
00:42:02,980 --> 00:42:05,181
Hey, what's your hurry?
744
00:42:06,685 --> 00:42:09,154
Rodger.
Brett.
745
00:42:09,290 --> 00:42:12,152
I've been head of
the booster club since '98.
746
00:42:12,288 --> 00:42:15,055
You ever seen
a national title game
747
00:42:15,191 --> 00:42:17,426
in your own luxury box,
Brett?
748
00:42:17,561 --> 00:42:18,927
No.
749
00:42:19,062 --> 00:42:23,030
Lobster, filet mignon,
blow.
750
00:42:23,165 --> 00:42:25,337
Whatever
your heart desires.
751
00:42:25,473 --> 00:42:26,740
It sounds awesome.
752
00:42:26,875 --> 00:42:30,509
You wanna come with?
I can get you a ticket.
753
00:42:30,644 --> 00:42:32,711
Are they even gonna play?
754
00:42:32,846 --> 00:42:37,053
Oh, they'll play.
Don't you worry your pretty
little head about that.
755
00:42:37,188 --> 00:42:40,953
Gonna find me
my quarterback,
and it'll be Easy Street.
756
00:42:43,260 --> 00:42:45,020
Five hundred dollars.
757
00:42:45,155 --> 00:42:47,095
And what does that
get me, Brett?
758
00:42:47,230 --> 00:42:49,231
A room number.
759
00:42:49,367 --> 00:42:51,133
What time
do you get off?
760
00:42:51,268 --> 00:42:53,262
Not mine.
761
00:42:59,300 --> 00:43:01,571
LeMarcus. Emmett.
762
00:43:02,976 --> 00:43:04,907
It's Rodger and Taylor.
Open up.
763
00:43:07,048 --> 00:43:08,985
I guess we have
to get another room again.
764
00:43:09,120 --> 00:43:10,743
Hey!
765
00:43:10,878 --> 00:43:13,386
Just go get it
before they wake up
the whole hotel, man.
766
00:43:16,525 --> 00:43:17,921
Shut up and get inside.
767
00:43:18,056 --> 00:43:20,256
Easy, big fella.
We come in peace.
768
00:43:22,532 --> 00:43:23,929
How the hell
did you find us?
769
00:43:24,064 --> 00:43:26,194
- A happy accident.
- What do you want?
770
00:43:26,330 --> 00:43:27,799
Just to talk,
that's it.
771
00:43:27,935 --> 00:43:29,735
One minute,
and then we're gone.
772
00:43:29,870 --> 00:43:33,042
Hey, you look like hell.
You okay?
773
00:43:33,177 --> 00:43:34,776
We're owed.
774
00:43:36,345 --> 00:43:38,246
You are owed?
775
00:43:38,381 --> 00:43:40,576
Yes. We're owed.
776
00:43:40,712 --> 00:43:44,518
Taylor.
What I think my associate
is trying to communicate here
777
00:43:44,653 --> 00:43:45,983
is that we're hurtin'.
778
00:43:46,118 --> 00:43:49,154
We feel like
we're invested here,
779
00:43:49,289 --> 00:43:51,854
especially after all
we've been through together.
780
00:43:51,990 --> 00:43:54,663
Because you loaned me a car?
781
00:43:54,799 --> 00:43:56,590
And helped refinance
your mother's mortgage
782
00:43:56,726 --> 00:43:58,960
when she fell behind,
and also with your brother.
783
00:43:59,096 --> 00:44:02,738
- Should we talk
about the message...
- Don't... say another word.
784
00:44:05,232 --> 00:44:06,805
And don't do this.
785
00:44:06,941 --> 00:44:08,805
You don't give a shit
about us.
786
00:44:08,941 --> 00:44:12,308
- All you give a shit about
is your damn game.
- Now, now, now, Taylor.
787
00:44:14,785 --> 00:44:17,318
LeMarcus, what...
what's going on here?
788
00:44:17,454 --> 00:44:19,178
Me and you are buddies.
789
00:44:19,313 --> 00:44:21,183
You love playing football.
790
00:44:21,319 --> 00:44:23,350
Hell, I love watching you
play football.
791
00:44:23,485 --> 00:44:26,662
An entire college campus,
40,000 kids,
792
00:44:26,798 --> 00:44:28,927
thinks that you're
Jesus Christ incarnate.
793
00:44:29,062 --> 00:44:32,163
What's going on?
You need money?
794
00:44:33,165 --> 00:44:35,199
Just tell me
where to send the check.
795
00:44:36,739 --> 00:44:38,499
What the fuck
don't you get?
796
00:44:42,437 --> 00:44:43,878
You ever read The Jungle?
797
00:44:44,013 --> 00:44:46,072
What has that got to do
with anything, LeMarcus?
798
00:44:46,207 --> 00:44:47,816
The American Dream.
799
00:44:49,378 --> 00:44:51,712
This guy Jurgis
from Lithuania,
800
00:44:51,848 --> 00:44:54,080
he worked
at the meat-packing plant
in Chicago.
801
00:44:54,215 --> 00:44:56,121
Now, Jurgis was young,
802
00:44:56,256 --> 00:44:58,156
he was bigger, stronger
than the rest of 'em.
803
00:44:58,291 --> 00:45:00,192
So they put him
to work in the kill beds.
804
00:45:00,327 --> 00:45:02,832
He worked so hard,
he couldn't bend
his fingers.
805
00:45:02,967 --> 00:45:06,064
He couldn't flex his knees,
broke his ankle.
806
00:45:06,200 --> 00:45:08,665
After all those years,
he just kept on working,
807
00:45:08,800 --> 00:45:11,001
and he loved it.
808
00:45:11,137 --> 00:45:14,869
See, that didn't mean shit
to the guys who owned
the plant though, did it?
809
00:45:15,005 --> 00:45:18,473
'Cause they weren't
about to take care
of no broke immigrant.
810
00:45:19,542 --> 00:45:23,047
LeMarcus...
You ain't that guy.
811
00:45:23,183 --> 00:45:25,917
You're about to be
the number one pick
812
00:45:26,053 --> 00:45:28,254
in the first round
of the NFL draft,
813
00:45:28,389 --> 00:45:31,823
- and Miami is gonna
pay you $35 million...
- Yeah, I know.
814
00:45:31,958 --> 00:45:33,690
That's a whole lot of meat.
815
00:45:33,825 --> 00:45:36,858
What about the guys
who ain't going
into the League?
816
00:45:36,993 --> 00:45:39,727
The guys who busted
their head in the dirt
for the last four years,
817
00:45:39,862 --> 00:45:42,261
only to wind up
mangled and broke?
What about them, huh?
818
00:45:42,397 --> 00:45:45,600
- So this whole thing's
about you?
- It's about everyone, man.
819
00:45:45,735 --> 00:45:47,942
What the fuck do you think
you're gonna do?
820
00:45:48,077 --> 00:45:50,541
You can't square off
with the entire system.
821
00:45:50,676 --> 00:45:53,409
You two cannot
unionize college sports,
and that's a fact.
822
00:45:54,850 --> 00:45:56,783
- It ain't two.
- What?
823
00:45:56,919 --> 00:45:59,211
It ain't just two of us
no more,
824
00:45:59,347 --> 00:46:00,757
and that's a fact.
825
00:46:11,232 --> 00:46:13,561
We have todismantle the structure
826
00:46:13,697 --> 00:46:15,265
and do somethingthat's more equitable,
827
00:46:15,401 --> 00:46:16,970
that's fairerfor these athletes.
828
00:46:17,105 --> 00:46:18,806
I've got teammatesthat I played
829
00:46:18,942 --> 00:46:20,909
collegiate ball withat Ohio State
830
00:46:21,044 --> 00:46:22,743
that suffered somecareer-ending injuries,
831
00:46:22,879 --> 00:46:24,980
some life-alteringinjuries,
832
00:46:25,115 --> 00:46:27,311
that struggleand still struggle today
833
00:46:27,446 --> 00:46:30,079
without any supportfrom the university.
834
00:46:30,214 --> 00:46:31,786
It's very frustrating.
835
00:46:31,922 --> 00:46:33,646
So I'm proudto stand behind
836
00:46:33,782 --> 00:46:35,788
LeMarcus Jamesand what he's doing.
837
00:46:35,924 --> 00:46:38,557
Wilson, what do you thinkof the situationwith LeMarcus James?
838
00:46:38,693 --> 00:46:40,986
Listen, Greeny,I'm really impressedby LeMarcus James.
839
00:46:41,122 --> 00:46:43,293
This guy's given uppossibly $35 million,
840
00:46:43,428 --> 00:46:45,166
maybe the first pickoverall.
841
00:46:45,302 --> 00:46:47,426
The reality is,he's got so much to lose
842
00:46:47,561 --> 00:46:49,269
but really so much to gain.
843
00:46:49,404 --> 00:46:51,699
And I think that you and Iboth know, Greeny,
844
00:46:51,835 --> 00:46:54,108
that this whole system's broke,and we got to fix it.
845
00:46:54,243 --> 00:46:56,268
It's got to get fixedimmediately.
846
00:46:56,404 --> 00:46:58,981
There you have it.
Directly from one ofthe great quarterbacks
847
00:46:59,117 --> 00:47:01,417
in the history of the NFL,Russell Wilson.
848
00:47:01,552 --> 00:47:04,345
He won the Walter PaytonMan of the Year awardin 2020.
849
00:47:04,481 --> 00:47:06,752
Russell, thank you.Always a pleasure, Greeny.I'll see you soon.
850
00:47:06,888 --> 00:47:10,123
In the meantime,we've got other newsto talk about...
851
00:47:11,560 --> 00:47:13,192
I understand.
852
00:47:15,966 --> 00:47:18,032
Yeah, we all know
what's at stake here.
853
00:47:19,528 --> 00:47:21,867
I will get
him into this game.
854
00:47:22,003 --> 00:47:24,371
You have
my personal guarantee.
855
00:47:24,506 --> 00:47:25,840
Of course.
856
00:47:25,976 --> 00:47:27,837
Well, thank you...
Yeah, he hung up on me.
857
00:47:31,009 --> 00:47:33,342
You're up early.
What, do you sleep
in that power suit?
858
00:47:33,477 --> 00:47:35,346
I might as well
at this point, right?
859
00:47:36,445 --> 00:47:38,482
Pressure
from the overlords?
860
00:47:38,617 --> 00:47:41,285
I'd say my very early
retirement is being discussed
861
00:47:41,421 --> 00:47:43,659
unless I change the optics,
and quick.
862
00:47:43,794 --> 00:47:46,227
And if I go,
so goes your retainer.
863
00:47:46,362 --> 00:47:49,030
We can't let
that happen, now, can we?
864
00:47:50,995 --> 00:47:52,495
We offer talks.
865
00:47:53,571 --> 00:47:55,001
We hear their demands.
866
00:47:55,137 --> 00:47:57,731
We promise a committee
to explore.
No.
867
00:48:01,745 --> 00:48:04,045
They've got 40 players now.
868
00:48:04,180 --> 00:48:07,173
I heard.
They think they can win this.
869
00:48:07,308 --> 00:48:10,211
If we offer talks,
then they will never leave
the table empty-handed.
870
00:48:10,347 --> 00:48:12,521
They're kids.
Exactly.
871
00:48:12,657 --> 00:48:15,584
They haven't lost enough
to believe that that's
the most likely outcome.
872
00:48:15,720 --> 00:48:19,555
They don't understand
that life is about losing.
873
00:48:20,832 --> 00:48:22,388
I pay you for options.
What are they?
874
00:48:22,523 --> 00:48:24,360
Well, I can only see two.
875
00:48:24,495 --> 00:48:26,434
You either give them
what they want...
876
00:48:26,569 --> 00:48:28,370
Second option?
877
00:48:28,505 --> 00:48:30,863
We savage them.
878
00:48:33,672 --> 00:48:37,039
You find everything...
every grain, every person.
879
00:48:37,175 --> 00:48:41,577
You turn LeMarcus James
into a monster
that no one could follow.
880
00:48:43,215 --> 00:48:45,411
LeMarcus decided
to do this.
881
00:48:45,546 --> 00:48:47,950
He waded into your waters.
882
00:48:48,086 --> 00:48:50,322
We have to react.
883
00:48:52,693 --> 00:48:55,998
Unfortunately,
I don't have the luxury
to react, Ms. Poe.
884
00:48:59,030 --> 00:49:00,497
But you do.
885
00:49:11,912 --> 00:49:13,411
It's started.
886
00:49:14,616 --> 00:49:16,046
What?
887
00:49:16,182 --> 00:49:18,053
They got their hounds loose.
888
00:49:21,982 --> 00:49:24,316
And you know
they're gonna dig up more.
889
00:49:33,664 --> 00:49:35,796
We're gonna
have to move again.
890
00:49:37,706 --> 00:49:38,832
No more running.
891
00:49:40,908 --> 00:49:42,275
Let 'em come.
892
00:49:44,144 --> 00:49:46,582
Luke?
Yes, every player.
893
00:49:46,718 --> 00:49:48,282
I don't care. Luke!
894
00:49:48,417 --> 00:49:51,446
On the goddamn roof,
for all I care.
Thirty minutes.
895
00:49:51,582 --> 00:49:54,214
Bailey,
have you seen Luke?
896
00:49:54,350 --> 00:49:56,320
I got nine players
897
00:49:56,456 --> 00:49:59,492
and the cabal
of fucking idiocy around me.
898
00:49:59,628 --> 00:50:02,227
I sent him to the store
for McConnell's ice cream.
899
00:50:02,362 --> 00:50:04,492
Baby, you can't
be doing that now.
900
00:50:04,628 --> 00:50:07,067
This is fucking serious!
LeMarcus...
901
00:50:07,203 --> 00:50:08,970
Goddamn it!
You know what hurts the most?
902
00:50:09,105 --> 00:50:11,601
He never came to me
with any of this,
903
00:50:11,736 --> 00:50:13,933
after everything
we've been through together.
904
00:50:21,276 --> 00:50:22,678
Are you...
905
00:50:22,813 --> 00:50:26,187
Jesus fucking Christ.
Are you fucking kidding me?
906
00:50:27,017 --> 00:50:28,320
Now?
907
00:50:28,455 --> 00:50:30,589
I got a full-on rebellion
in my locker room,
908
00:50:30,724 --> 00:50:33,819
I got the head of the NCAA
and both conferences
up my ass
909
00:50:33,954 --> 00:50:36,924
at the national fucking
title game...
910
00:50:37,060 --> 00:50:40,136
Now? You're gonna...
Coach, we talked
about this.
911
00:50:40,271 --> 00:50:44,167
How can I say this again
in a way that you can get it?
912
00:50:44,303 --> 00:50:46,502
I need to find myself again.
913
00:50:46,638 --> 00:50:49,174
I need some me time.
Not you time. Me time.
914
00:50:49,310 --> 00:50:51,537
Goddamn, you
fuckin' selfish...
915
00:50:51,673 --> 00:50:54,848
Wow! Finish it.
Finish it.
916
00:50:54,984 --> 00:50:57,180
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
917
00:50:57,315 --> 00:50:58,614
I'm sorry.
918
00:50:58,750 --> 00:51:00,250
I know the sacrifices
you've made for me.
919
00:51:00,386 --> 00:51:03,389
Of course I do.
But please...
920
00:51:13,193 --> 00:51:15,530
Okay, which place do you
want me to stay away from?
921
00:51:15,666 --> 00:51:17,667
Where are you going?
The beach house?
922
00:51:19,039 --> 00:51:20,408
I'm going to Rome.
923
00:51:20,544 --> 00:51:21,902
Rome?
924
00:51:23,640 --> 00:51:25,675
Okay, I can stay away
from Rome.
925
00:51:34,290 --> 00:51:36,455
You're not going
to Rome alone, are you?
926
00:51:38,357 --> 00:51:40,391
If I hadn't stayed here
927
00:51:40,526 --> 00:51:42,359
to explain to you
that I was leaving,
928
00:51:42,495 --> 00:51:44,198
would you have noticed
I'd gone?
929
00:51:44,334 --> 00:51:46,132
I know. I get it. I get it.
All I wanna know...
930
00:51:46,267 --> 00:51:49,228
Look.
It's this fucking job.
931
00:51:49,364 --> 00:51:50,764
Oh, God.
932
00:51:50,900 --> 00:51:54,070
I swear to God,
I will make it up to you.
933
00:51:54,205 --> 00:51:56,277
Okay? Please.
934
00:51:56,412 --> 00:51:58,912
I swear to God,
I'm gonna make this up to you.
935
00:51:59,048 --> 00:52:00,179
It's just...
James...
936
00:52:00,314 --> 00:52:02,681
We just got
to get past this game.
937
00:52:02,817 --> 00:52:03,814
Please.
938
00:52:03,950 --> 00:52:05,284
James...
939
00:52:05,420 --> 00:52:08,190
Baby, I need you here
with me now, please.
940
00:52:34,517 --> 00:52:38,015
Oh, um...
You want Coach.
He's in the back.
941
00:52:38,151 --> 00:52:39,850
Can you... please?
942
00:52:39,986 --> 00:52:42,048
Yeah, sure, sure. Sure.
Thank you.
Excuse me. I'm sorry.
943
00:52:43,024 --> 00:52:44,820
Good to meet you.
944
00:52:48,896 --> 00:52:50,331
Coach?
945
00:52:54,232 --> 00:52:55,666
Coach Lazor?
946
00:53:03,137 --> 00:53:05,141
Morning, Coach.
Uh, Katherine Poe.
947
00:53:05,276 --> 00:53:06,472
We met earlier?
948
00:53:06,608 --> 00:53:08,509
Is now okay, sir?
949
00:53:08,644 --> 00:53:10,408
It's kind of urgent.
950
00:53:20,523 --> 00:53:22,055
Everything all right?
951
00:53:23,025 --> 00:53:25,724
Well, if there's
anything I can do...
952
00:53:25,860 --> 00:53:28,796
Just...
What do you want?
953
00:53:28,932 --> 00:53:31,270
You have a rebellion
on your hands, sir.
954
00:53:31,406 --> 00:53:33,707
What exactly do you do?
955
00:53:33,843 --> 00:53:36,373
- You're with the NCAA?
- I'm not. I'm outside counsel.
956
00:53:36,509 --> 00:53:38,272
And your name again?
Katherine.
957
00:53:38,408 --> 00:53:41,173
Katherine, would you mind
just fucking off
back to your C-suite?
958
00:53:47,688 --> 00:53:51,755
This is a private physical
LeMarcus had.
959
00:53:52,956 --> 00:53:57,233
It's from July
for an insurance policy.
960
00:53:59,397 --> 00:54:00,996
How did you get that?
961
00:54:01,132 --> 00:54:05,197
It's a firm specializing
in medical data acquisition.
962
00:54:06,575 --> 00:54:11,575
And this is an MRI
of LeMarcus' left knee,
963
00:54:11,711 --> 00:54:14,778
which, unfortunately,
has no cartilage.
964
00:54:17,519 --> 00:54:19,618
He's been hiding it
for five months.
965
00:54:22,489 --> 00:54:24,860
His body
is a ticking time bomb.
966
00:54:24,995 --> 00:54:27,889
It's only a matter of time
before that knee
gives out on him.
967
00:54:28,024 --> 00:54:30,693
He is never going to be
the number one pick,
968
00:54:30,828 --> 00:54:33,268
not after the combine
and a physical.
969
00:54:33,403 --> 00:54:35,170
He'll be lucky
if he got to go day two,
970
00:54:35,305 --> 00:54:36,966
and he's known that
for some time.
971
00:54:37,102 --> 00:54:39,808
I have seen nothing to indicate
he's got a bad knee.
972
00:54:39,944 --> 00:54:43,579
He's 21.
He could eat gunpowder
and then go run a marathon.
973
00:54:43,714 --> 00:54:45,479
Now, look.
974
00:54:46,712 --> 00:54:49,408
It's best
if this comes from you.
975
00:54:50,845 --> 00:54:53,952
How disappointed
you were to learn
that he's been hiding this.
976
00:54:54,087 --> 00:54:58,322
Maybe, in retrospect,
you did notice the limp
during practice.
977
00:54:58,458 --> 00:55:00,590
What exactly are you saying?
978
00:55:00,726 --> 00:55:03,796
Five months ago, LeMarcus
figured out he is not going
to be the number one pick,
979
00:55:03,931 --> 00:55:06,800
and he is trying to cash in
now before the teller...
980
00:55:06,936 --> 00:55:09,030
That is bullshit.
Yes, sir. Before
the teller window closes.
981
00:55:09,166 --> 00:55:11,663
LeMarcus would never...
This is a shakedown, sir!
982
00:55:11,798 --> 00:55:13,933
Pure and simple.
983
00:55:14,068 --> 00:55:16,144
He is trying
to recoup his losses,
984
00:55:16,279 --> 00:55:18,105
and he is going
to take everything
985
00:55:18,240 --> 00:55:21,273
that you and your players
have worked for.
986
00:55:23,311 --> 00:55:25,949
Let me ask you, sir,
how does a D-III quarterback
987
00:55:26,085 --> 00:55:29,291
with a noodle
for an arm who runs
a five-flat 40 time,
988
00:55:29,427 --> 00:55:31,753
how does a guy like that
become the head coach
989
00:55:31,888 --> 00:55:33,820
of not one but two
D-I powerhouses?
990
00:55:33,955 --> 00:55:36,464
Because that guy
is a winner.
991
00:55:37,429 --> 00:55:38,893
And this is your time
992
00:55:39,028 --> 00:55:41,061
to finally capture
that national title.
993
00:55:41,196 --> 00:55:45,231
Do not let LeMarcus
rob you of your legacy.
994
00:55:47,169 --> 00:55:51,136
Now, we will leak this
to the smaller sites.
995
00:55:51,272 --> 00:55:53,843
You will do a presser
for the networks,
996
00:55:53,978 --> 00:55:56,649
and the aggregators
will take it from there.
997
00:55:59,922 --> 00:56:01,483
I, um...
998
00:56:01,618 --> 00:56:03,657
I have some remarks.
999
00:56:03,792 --> 00:56:05,491
If you want
to take a look at...
No, thank you.
1000
00:56:05,626 --> 00:56:08,826
I don't need
your fucking remarks.
1001
00:56:10,397 --> 00:56:12,324
This is my football team.
1002
00:56:13,633 --> 00:56:16,438
They will play for me.
Coach...
1003
00:56:17,665 --> 00:56:18,770
wake up,
1004
00:56:19,839 --> 00:56:22,235
before you don't
even have a team.
1005
00:56:55,705 --> 00:56:57,578
I know right now...
1006
00:56:59,846 --> 00:57:02,517
you think life is always
gonna be like this.
1007
00:57:05,246 --> 00:57:07,346
You're at the center
of everything.
1008
00:57:09,893 --> 00:57:11,218
Alive.
1009
00:57:14,129 --> 00:57:15,563
And greatness
1010
00:57:16,725 --> 00:57:18,493
is right there,
1011
00:57:18,628 --> 00:57:20,161
within reach.
1012
00:57:25,505 --> 00:57:27,069
But that's not true.
1013
00:57:29,009 --> 00:57:33,576
This may very well be
your only fleeting moment
1014
00:57:33,712 --> 00:57:36,243
at the top
of the mountain.
1015
00:57:37,948 --> 00:57:40,181
Look at me.
I'm 60 years old.
1016
00:57:41,588 --> 00:57:43,151
I look like I'm 80.
1017
00:57:44,327 --> 00:57:46,418
I feel like I'm a hundred.
1018
00:57:50,157 --> 00:57:52,094
I got a wife that hates me.
1019
00:57:55,603 --> 00:57:57,671
Well, she just left,
actually.
1020
00:58:00,570 --> 00:58:03,578
I got a cock
that doesn't work
without a fucking pill.
1021
00:58:08,084 --> 00:58:09,408
My best buddy,
1022
00:58:11,187 --> 00:58:14,622
since we were
little knuckleheads
playing Pee Wee football...
1023
00:58:16,122 --> 00:58:19,022
My best friend, Clint,
just died of blood cancer.
1024
00:58:21,097 --> 00:58:22,630
Just like that.
1025
00:58:24,301 --> 00:58:27,294
Forty years ago, I was you.
1026
00:58:28,500 --> 00:58:30,099
I was you, men.
1027
00:58:31,107 --> 00:58:33,003
Magnificent.
1028
00:58:33,139 --> 00:58:36,578
Quarterback
of my little college
in North Dakota.
1029
00:58:37,814 --> 00:58:41,649
I had dreams, and I had
the energy to chase 'em.
1030
00:58:43,353 --> 00:58:45,653
And now...
1031
00:58:49,149 --> 00:58:51,191
...I got one thing left,
1032
00:58:51,326 --> 00:58:54,255
one thing in my life
1033
00:58:55,893 --> 00:58:57,896
that means a damn
to me:
1034
00:59:09,870 --> 00:59:11,206
You men.
1035
00:59:13,577 --> 00:59:14,781
This room.
1036
00:59:19,684 --> 00:59:21,348
This is all I got...
1037
00:59:25,525 --> 00:59:27,057
and that's okay.
1038
00:59:28,729 --> 00:59:31,567
Believe me,
this is all I need.
1039
00:59:34,364 --> 00:59:37,170
Now, some of you are
looking at me like, "Well...
1040
00:59:37,305 --> 00:59:39,271
bullshit, Coach.
1041
00:59:39,406 --> 00:59:40,532
Come on, now.
1042
00:59:41,376 --> 00:59:42,375
You got money.
1043
00:59:42,510 --> 00:59:45,044
You're fucking rich."
1044
00:59:45,180 --> 00:59:48,809
Yeah, I got money I...
I couldn't even conceive of
1045
00:59:48,944 --> 00:59:51,246
when I was you men.
1046
00:59:52,720 --> 00:59:54,887
Believe me
when I tell you this...
1047
00:59:55,685 --> 00:59:57,219
Money...
1048
00:59:58,787 --> 01:00:00,189
is shit.
1049
01:00:01,760 --> 01:00:04,025
Money is a numbers game
1050
01:00:04,160 --> 01:00:06,799
played by people
in $5,000 suits
1051
01:00:06,935 --> 01:00:09,764
in New York City offices
for their own benefit.
1052
01:00:09,899 --> 01:00:11,970
There is no glory
1053
01:00:13,274 --> 01:00:14,409
in money,
1054
01:00:14,545 --> 01:00:18,603
no life-altering challenge
in money.
1055
01:00:18,738 --> 01:00:21,749
There is no confrontation
with your deepest fears
1056
01:00:21,884 --> 01:00:26,248
and therefore your greatness,
in fucking money.
1057
01:00:27,949 --> 01:00:29,249
Oh, my God.
1058
01:00:29,384 --> 01:00:31,759
What I wouldn't give
to be you men
1059
01:00:33,063 --> 01:00:34,421
right now.
1060
01:00:36,093 --> 01:00:38,323
One day away
from glorious battle
1061
01:00:38,458 --> 01:00:40,594
alongside
your band of brothers
1062
01:00:40,729 --> 01:00:44,565
in front of
a hundred million people
all over the world.
1063
01:00:44,701 --> 01:00:46,268
Glory.
1064
01:00:48,272 --> 01:00:51,878
The greatest glory
you are ever gonna feel.
1065
01:00:53,483 --> 01:00:56,478
Do you want
to give that up?
1066
01:00:56,613 --> 01:01:00,018
For those of you who were
thinking about boycotting,
1067
01:01:01,282 --> 01:01:03,115
you've made your point.
1068
01:01:03,251 --> 01:01:05,089
They are gonna have to change.
1069
01:01:06,122 --> 01:01:07,691
'Cause they heard you.
1070
01:01:07,827 --> 01:01:10,457
They are scared
shitless.
1071
01:01:10,592 --> 01:01:13,501
It's beautiful.
It's fucking hilarious.
1072
01:01:13,637 --> 01:01:16,434
Change is coming.
Meaningful change.
1073
01:01:16,570 --> 01:01:18,531
Trust me on that.
1074
01:01:19,872 --> 01:01:22,137
Every one of you has worked
1075
01:01:22,273 --> 01:01:26,176
your whole fucking life
for this moment.
1076
01:01:27,344 --> 01:01:31,181
Don't rob yourselves
of your destiny.
1077
01:01:32,113 --> 01:01:33,986
Glory is at hand.
1078
01:01:36,159 --> 01:01:37,616
Glory
1079
01:01:38,690 --> 01:01:40,557
is yours.
1080
01:01:40,693 --> 01:01:43,831
Glory is ours!
1081
01:01:46,103 --> 01:01:47,527
Glory!
1082
01:01:49,799 --> 01:01:51,036
Take it.
1083
01:02:15,523 --> 01:02:18,927
I heard
it was a great speech.
1084
01:02:19,063 --> 01:02:23,096
Now, let's prove to them that
LeMarcus is only doing this
for his own benefit,
1085
01:02:23,231 --> 01:02:24,870
so you have enough players
1086
01:02:25,006 --> 01:02:28,073
not only to play this thing,
but to win.
1087
01:02:31,009 --> 01:02:32,646
Do you need a minute,
Coach?
1088
01:02:32,782 --> 01:02:35,542
You need to
collect yourself? Okay.
1089
01:02:36,751 --> 01:02:38,512
Let's get it over with.
1090
01:02:40,014 --> 01:02:41,350
Right.
1091
01:02:46,320 --> 01:02:48,258
One miner's breakfast.
1092
01:02:49,092 --> 01:02:50,889
Breakfast of champions.
1093
01:02:54,798 --> 01:02:56,936
Now, I understand we havesome late-breaking news.
1094
01:02:57,072 --> 01:02:59,399
Yes, we're goingto a live press conference
1095
01:02:59,535 --> 01:03:01,406
with Wolves head coachJames Lazor.
1096
01:03:01,541 --> 01:03:04,479
Coach Lazor,when did you first notice,
1097
01:03:04,615 --> 01:03:06,408
LeMarcus James' knee?
1098
01:03:10,412 --> 01:03:12,320
Well, I had noticed
a slight limp,
1099
01:03:12,455 --> 01:03:14,816
uh, after week three,
1100
01:03:14,951 --> 01:03:18,123
but I just chalked it up
to, you know, the usual
bumps and bruises.
1101
01:03:19,725 --> 01:03:21,423
So, I was, um...
1102
01:03:22,930 --> 01:03:24,925
I was disappointed
when I found out
1103
01:03:25,060 --> 01:03:27,829
that he'd been concealingsomething more serious.
1104
01:03:27,964 --> 01:03:30,597
- I can't believe Coach is doing this.
- Do you think
1105
01:03:30,733 --> 01:03:32,872
he concealed his injuryto protect his draft status?
1106
01:03:33,007 --> 01:03:35,707
I don't know.He's gonna have to passa very thorough physical
1107
01:03:35,843 --> 01:03:37,274
before the draft, so...
1108
01:03:38,543 --> 01:03:41,346
They found that MRI quick.
Their man's good.
1109
01:03:41,481 --> 01:03:43,917
Do you feel he wasmanipulating his teammates
1110
01:03:44,053 --> 01:03:45,944
to cash inon the national title game?
1111
01:03:46,080 --> 01:03:48,285
I guess you'd haveto ask his teammates that.
1112
01:03:48,420 --> 01:03:51,483
Coach, do you feel
that this is a further example
1113
01:03:51,619 --> 01:03:53,862
of a form of modern-day
slave trade?
1114
01:04:00,094 --> 01:04:02,535
I-I'm sorry. I guess I don't
understand that question.
1115
01:04:02,670 --> 01:04:06,002
The physical. Like inspecting
a slave's teeth
to determine the price.
1116
01:04:06,138 --> 01:04:07,799
Only now, it's his knees.
1117
01:04:11,104 --> 01:04:16,009
Well, if you call getting
a free top-tier education
1118
01:04:16,145 --> 01:04:20,483
and four years of
first-class accommodations
and nutrition,
1119
01:04:20,618 --> 01:04:23,455
not to mentiona sizable living stipend,
1120
01:04:23,590 --> 01:04:26,653
and then toss in a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity
1121
01:04:26,788 --> 01:04:28,587
to playin a national title game,
1122
01:04:28,723 --> 01:04:31,028
if we're calling that
the slave trade,
1123
01:04:31,163 --> 01:04:33,225
then I'd love
to be a slave.
1124
01:04:35,195 --> 01:04:36,498
Um...
1125
01:04:36,634 --> 01:04:38,203
That's...
That's the last question.
1126
01:04:40,139 --> 01:04:41,901
Well, that
already went viral.
1127
01:04:48,308 --> 01:04:49,379
Call Greeny.
1128
01:04:50,820 --> 01:04:52,819
Tell him
we're going live.
1129
01:04:52,954 --> 01:04:54,747
Splash it
all over Twitter too.
1130
01:04:55,982 --> 01:04:58,224
I am joined nowby LeMarcus James,
1131
01:04:58,359 --> 01:05:00,260
who won this year'sHeisman Trophy
1132
01:05:00,396 --> 01:05:04,063
and has now rockedthe entire world of sportsand well beyond
1133
01:05:04,198 --> 01:05:06,598
with his boycottof the national title game,
1134
01:05:06,734 --> 01:05:08,935
which is scheduledfor tomorrowin New Orleans.
1135
01:05:09,071 --> 01:05:11,666
LeMarcus, I'm gonna jumpright into the questioneveryone is asking.
1136
01:05:11,801 --> 01:05:15,374
Are you boycotting this gameand demanding compensation
1137
01:05:15,509 --> 01:05:17,772
because of an unfortunatemedical condition
1138
01:05:17,908 --> 01:05:20,580
that could jeopardizeyour status in the draft?
1139
01:05:20,715 --> 01:05:22,079
Good morning, Greeny.
1140
01:05:22,215 --> 01:05:24,711
The answer is no.
Unequivocally, no.
1141
01:05:25,713 --> 01:05:27,617
I have no cartilage
in my left knee.
1142
01:05:27,752 --> 01:05:30,749
It'll degenerate over time.
Maybe eight years, maybe 20.
1143
01:05:30,885 --> 01:05:32,719
But name me an NFL team
that wouldn't take
1144
01:05:32,855 --> 01:05:34,757
eight to 20 years
of elite quarterback play.
1145
01:05:34,892 --> 01:05:37,491
You see, the reality is,this isn't about me.
1146
01:05:37,627 --> 01:05:39,300
This is aboutour current system.
1147
01:05:39,436 --> 01:05:41,933
It's about my fellowD-I athletes and teammates
1148
01:05:42,069 --> 01:05:43,465
who have fallen victim to,
1149
01:05:43,601 --> 01:05:45,733
quite frankly,a plantation mentality.
1150
01:05:45,868 --> 01:05:47,806
I wanna talkabout that mentality.
1151
01:05:47,941 --> 01:05:49,872
That's fucking rich.
1152
01:05:50,008 --> 01:05:52,238
'Cause clearly,that is at the centerof this entire conversation.
1153
01:05:52,374 --> 01:05:53,971
Your coach, just today,
1154
01:05:54,107 --> 01:05:56,708
said this is a systemhe'd love to be a part of
1155
01:05:56,844 --> 01:05:59,786
and even invokedthe tragic word "slavery."
1156
01:05:59,922 --> 01:06:02,153
I have to ask you,do you feel
1157
01:06:02,289 --> 01:06:05,660
this is a slave tradeof a different kind?
1158
01:06:05,795 --> 01:06:10,122
- Can I give youanother comparison, Greeny?
- - Yeah, of course.
1159
01:06:10,257 --> 01:06:13,631
This is the home
of my best friend
and teammate, Emmett Sunday.
1160
01:06:13,766 --> 01:06:16,268
Emmett's father is a farmer
outside Lincoln, Nebraska,
1161
01:06:16,404 --> 01:06:18,237
and his mother
is a teacher's assistant.
1162
01:06:18,372 --> 01:06:20,140
They've saved up
a little bit for retirement,
1163
01:06:20,275 --> 01:06:22,275
but mostly, they just live
month to month.
1164
01:06:22,411 --> 01:06:25,806
One swollen appendix,
one turned ankle
from insolvency.
1165
01:06:25,942 --> 01:06:28,348
Now, their son, Emmett Sunday,
has been a four-year starter
1166
01:06:28,483 --> 01:06:30,645
for one of the best college
programs in the country.
1167
01:06:30,781 --> 01:06:32,386
Tomorrow,he'll play in a game
1168
01:06:32,521 --> 01:06:34,650
that'll gross overa half a billion dollars.
1169
01:06:34,785 --> 01:06:36,684
Half a billion dollarsfor a single game.
1170
01:06:36,819 --> 01:06:38,224
And Emmettwon't see a dime.
1171
01:06:38,359 --> 01:06:39,819
His football dayswill be over.
1172
01:06:39,954 --> 01:06:42,387
Zero compensation,zero medical insurance
1173
01:06:42,522 --> 01:06:45,092
for the injurieshe's sustained,some of them permanent.
1174
01:06:45,227 --> 01:06:46,793
And now, this...
1175
01:06:48,168 --> 01:06:49,970
is the Palm Beach
vacation home
1176
01:06:50,106 --> 01:06:52,205
for my coach,James Lazor.
1177
01:06:53,602 --> 01:06:55,604
This ishis Chicago penthouse.
1178
01:06:57,807 --> 01:07:00,015
This is hissix-bedroom Craftsman,
1179
01:07:00,150 --> 01:07:01,680
where he staysduring the season.
1180
01:07:01,816 --> 01:07:03,215
His work home.
1181
01:07:03,350 --> 01:07:05,512
Now, Coach has profitedoff a system
1182
01:07:05,648 --> 01:07:07,850
that is entirely basedon free labor.
1183
01:07:07,986 --> 01:07:10,414
We're not playing in any gamesuntil those who actually play...
1184
01:07:10,550 --> 01:07:13,427
And not just the superstars.All athletes, down tothe special teams...
1185
01:07:13,562 --> 01:07:16,555
- Jesus.
- ...are consideredand compensated.
1186
01:07:16,690 --> 01:07:18,492
Now.
1187
01:07:18,627 --> 01:07:20,631
This crazy motherfucker.
1188
01:07:20,767 --> 01:07:23,204
There you have it,directly fromLeMarcus James.
1189
01:07:23,339 --> 01:07:25,703
LeMarcus,thank you very much.
All right, LeMarcus.
1190
01:07:25,839 --> 01:07:28,374
I appreciate the time.We'll take a short break,
1191
01:07:28,509 --> 01:07:30,634
and be back with morein just a moment.
1192
01:07:30,770 --> 01:07:33,081
What the calamitous fuck?
1193
01:07:33,216 --> 01:07:35,611
We've been goddamn
outflanked by two kids,
1194
01:07:35,746 --> 01:07:37,413
like we're
in Scooby fucking Doo.
1195
01:07:37,549 --> 01:07:39,580
Oh, you know what
the dipshit sidekick did
1196
01:07:39,715 --> 01:07:42,053
when LeMarcus
was grandstanding on TV?
1197
01:07:42,188 --> 01:07:43,449
Sunday.
Huh?
1198
01:07:43,585 --> 01:07:45,291
His name is
Emmett Sunday.
1199
01:07:45,426 --> 01:07:47,055
Oh, thank God
we got that all cleared up.
1200
01:07:47,190 --> 01:07:51,493
Emmett fucking-us-sideways
Sunday leaks
my Nike contract.
1201
01:07:51,628 --> 01:07:53,693
Now every New York City
zig-zag's
1202
01:07:53,829 --> 01:07:56,067
asking me where
$30 million a year goes.
1203
01:07:56,203 --> 01:07:57,528
Where does it go?
1204
01:07:57,664 --> 01:07:59,237
How the hell do I know?
1205
01:07:59,372 --> 01:08:01,332
You're the head
of the conference.
1206
01:08:01,467 --> 01:08:02,669
Excuse me?
1207
01:08:02,805 --> 01:08:04,710
You're the head
of your conference.
1208
01:08:04,846 --> 01:08:07,742
You should be able to answer
a layup like where
your sneaker money goes.
1209
01:08:08,914 --> 01:08:10,649
Okay.
1210
01:08:10,785 --> 01:08:11,953
Band fields.
1211
01:08:12,088 --> 01:08:13,649
Softball stadiums.
1212
01:08:13,785 --> 01:08:16,924
Turquoise-green
Bermuda fucking sod.
Where else?
1213
01:08:17,059 --> 01:08:19,191
Orlando Bishop
just tweeted this.
1214
01:08:19,327 --> 01:08:20,788
- He's out.
- That's cute.
1215
01:08:20,923 --> 01:08:22,897
We got four players
threatening to walk now too.
1216
01:08:23,032 --> 01:08:24,427
How are these two
even doing this?
1217
01:08:24,563 --> 01:08:26,065
I still think
Coach Lazor's the one
1218
01:08:26,200 --> 01:08:27,793
to talk LeMarcus
off this ledge.
1219
01:08:27,929 --> 01:08:29,968
He walks him back,
they'll all follow.
1220
01:08:30,104 --> 01:08:31,872
Where's your coach now?
1221
01:08:32,008 --> 01:08:34,336
He's, uh,
taking a minute.
1222
01:08:34,472 --> 01:08:35,801
He's tanking.
1223
01:08:35,937 --> 01:08:37,736
- He's fine.
- What does he need?
1224
01:08:37,872 --> 01:08:39,742
A divorce lawyer.
1225
01:08:39,877 --> 01:08:42,249
He's fine, I said.
Lazor or no Lazor,
1226
01:08:42,384 --> 01:08:43,910
we're putting two teams
on the field tomorrow,
1227
01:08:44,046 --> 01:08:46,011
even if we gotta dress
the damn cheerleaders.
1228
01:08:46,146 --> 01:08:48,288
Who's second in line
if Lazor can't go?
1229
01:08:48,423 --> 01:08:52,355
I guess, uh, Ronnie Dunn,
defensive coordinator.
1230
01:08:52,491 --> 01:08:54,425
You trust him?
Yeah. Company man.
1231
01:08:54,561 --> 01:08:56,426
Been at the university
since a player himself,
1232
01:08:56,562 --> 01:08:58,329
so, yeah, he'll take
marching orders.
1233
01:08:58,464 --> 01:09:00,764
- You sure?
- This a fucking inquisition?
1234
01:09:00,900 --> 01:09:04,370
I don't trust anyone
with a vested pension
and Medicare.
1235
01:09:05,567 --> 01:09:07,268
Oh, God. You know what?
1236
01:09:07,404 --> 01:09:09,476
Fuck you very much.
1237
01:09:09,611 --> 01:09:12,914
All right? I need this shit
like I need a third tit.
1238
01:09:13,049 --> 01:09:15,342
I will march
my entire conference
1239
01:09:15,477 --> 01:09:16,976
right out that door,
1240
01:09:17,112 --> 01:09:21,513
put together
my own play-offs
without any of you.
1241
01:09:21,648 --> 01:09:23,114
How do you like me?
1242
01:09:23,249 --> 01:09:25,325
You'd be in breach
of 16 different contracts,
1243
01:09:25,460 --> 01:09:29,120
squander a $100-million payday
for tomorrow alone.
1244
01:09:29,256 --> 01:09:32,494
Not to mention what I imagine
would be a full audit
1245
01:09:32,629 --> 01:09:35,767
of SEC expenses
under your tenure.
1246
01:09:35,903 --> 01:09:38,802
You know, to make sure
that those band fields,
softball stadiums
1247
01:09:38,937 --> 01:09:42,669
and turquoise-green
Bermuda sod
weren't really just
1248
01:09:42,804 --> 01:09:46,178
high-paid escorts
in New York City
1249
01:09:46,314 --> 01:09:49,415
at the Bemelman Bar
of the Carlyle.
1250
01:09:53,546 --> 01:09:56,488
Bouncing 'em
out of your apartment
three at a time, right?
1251
01:10:04,634 --> 01:10:06,201
Fuck you.
1252
01:10:09,264 --> 01:10:10,502
Hoo!
1253
01:10:15,642 --> 01:10:17,838
We're still24 hours away
1254
01:10:17,974 --> 01:10:20,175
from the SnickersNational Title game.
1255
01:10:20,310 --> 01:10:22,239
- Only the biggest game...- Man, these guys
1256
01:10:22,375 --> 01:10:23,908
are already gettingfree education.
1257
01:10:24,044 --> 01:10:26,216
Money is justgonna ruin it.
1258
01:10:26,352 --> 01:10:28,149
They aren't readyfor all that money.I wasn't when I was 18.
1259
01:10:28,284 --> 01:10:30,491
I don't knowif this man is a racist,
1260
01:10:30,626 --> 01:10:32,755
but what I do knowis that he made a fortune
1261
01:10:32,890 --> 01:10:36,154
mostly off the backsof young Black men.
1262
01:10:37,296 --> 01:10:38,894
Question.
1263
01:10:39,029 --> 01:10:41,394
If I hadn't stayed hereto explain to you
1264
01:10:41,529 --> 01:10:44,965
that I was leaving,would you have noticedI'd gone?
1265
01:11:08,693 --> 01:11:10,622
Coach! Coach Lazor!
1266
01:11:10,757 --> 01:11:13,294
- Oh, my God.
- Look, it's Coach Lazor.
1267
01:11:13,430 --> 01:11:15,297
Hey, Coach, can we get a picture?
Sorry, buddy.
1268
01:11:15,432 --> 01:11:18,238
It's just really
not a good time, okay?
Sorry, sorry...
1269
01:11:18,373 --> 01:11:21,068
Okay, not now!
1270
01:11:21,203 --> 01:11:24,472
Hey, give him some space.
Give him some space.
1271
01:11:24,608 --> 01:11:26,077
No pictures! No pictures!
1272
01:11:26,213 --> 01:11:27,546
Have a good game, Coach!
1273
01:11:44,965 --> 01:11:47,531
Now, I know for a factthat LeMarcus and the guys,
1274
01:11:47,667 --> 01:11:49,327
they respectthe hell out of you,
1275
01:11:49,462 --> 01:11:54,772
and you would be the first
African-American head coach
1276
01:11:54,907 --> 01:11:59,677
to lead a team onto the field
for a national title game.
1277
01:12:00,508 --> 01:12:02,114
Hell,
1278
01:12:02,250 --> 01:12:04,480
hopefully win the thing, huh?
1279
01:12:04,615 --> 01:12:06,849
Let's make history together.
1280
01:12:24,098 --> 01:12:26,473
The NCAA may have startedwith this...
1281
01:12:26,609 --> 01:12:28,707
...imaginarypie-in-the-sky idea
1282
01:12:28,842 --> 01:12:31,272
that it was about amateurism,and at one point it was.
1283
01:12:31,408 --> 01:12:34,814
But then there was a turn,and it became about money.
1284
01:12:34,950 --> 01:12:37,775
Plain and simple.I thought this was America.
1285
01:12:37,910 --> 01:12:39,645
Yeah?
1286
01:12:39,780 --> 01:12:41,554
It's Coach Dunn.
1287
01:12:43,259 --> 01:12:45,050
You all
by your lonesome?
1288
01:12:45,186 --> 01:12:47,652
It's just me.
1289
01:12:50,525 --> 01:12:51,561
Coach?
1290
01:12:51,696 --> 01:12:54,359
You two are really hard
to find.
1291
01:12:54,494 --> 01:12:57,328
It's easier to find Bigfoot
than to find you two.
1292
01:12:58,341 --> 01:13:00,034
Look, relax.
I won't tell Lazor.
1293
01:13:01,003 --> 01:13:02,837
You know something?
1294
01:13:02,973 --> 01:13:05,370
I gotta give credit
to you two, actually.
1295
01:13:05,505 --> 01:13:08,042
I'm really surprised
you was able to pull this off.
1296
01:13:10,085 --> 01:13:11,782
But you got trouble.
1297
01:13:12,982 --> 01:13:15,082
Yep, they still gonna
play the game.
1298
01:13:17,554 --> 01:13:19,086
With 19 freshmen?
1299
01:13:19,994 --> 01:13:21,519
Cornelius?
1300
01:13:21,655 --> 01:13:23,358
They don't care who plays
as long as it's on TV.
1301
01:13:25,693 --> 01:13:27,567
The shit bowl.
1302
01:13:27,702 --> 01:13:29,701
They shitting
their pants right now.
1303
01:13:29,836 --> 01:13:31,867
They got so desperate,
they approached me
1304
01:13:32,003 --> 01:13:33,934
and said
If Lazor doesn't show up,
1305
01:13:34,069 --> 01:13:36,004
I can bring the team
out to the field.
1306
01:13:37,178 --> 01:13:39,079
So, Coach is sitting?
1307
01:13:39,215 --> 01:13:41,080
I don't know, man.
It's really hard
to tell right now,
1308
01:13:41,215 --> 01:13:42,914
but it looks like it.
1309
01:13:43,050 --> 01:13:44,017
Damn.
1310
01:13:44,152 --> 01:13:46,313
So, what you gonna do?
1311
01:13:46,448 --> 01:13:48,989
The first Black head coach
in a national title game?
1312
01:13:49,124 --> 01:13:50,821
It's a big deal.
1313
01:13:52,091 --> 01:13:55,322
I ain't no fucking pawn.
Hell, no, I'm not doing it.
1314
01:13:55,458 --> 01:13:57,429
I'm one of best defensive
coaches in this country.
1315
01:13:57,565 --> 01:13:58,931
I don't need
no fucking handouts.
1316
01:13:59,067 --> 01:14:00,462
Amen, Coach.
1317
01:14:00,597 --> 01:14:02,063
We feel the same way.
1318
01:14:02,199 --> 01:14:04,338
Even if this whole thing
goes up in a ball of flames,
1319
01:14:04,473 --> 01:14:06,232
we're not stepping
on that field.
1320
01:14:08,737 --> 01:14:11,572
Look, y'all.
Have I ever told you
the Hannibal Lawson story?
1321
01:14:11,708 --> 01:14:13,846
Who?
Hannibal Lawson.
1322
01:14:13,981 --> 01:14:17,042
So, Han Lawson, to me, was one
of the best defensive tackles
1323
01:14:17,177 --> 01:14:18,919
in Louisiana
high school history.
1324
01:14:19,055 --> 01:14:20,813
He went on to LSU.
1325
01:14:20,949 --> 01:14:22,919
You know, a bright future.
1326
01:14:24,020 --> 01:14:25,758
He got his knee shredded
in practice.
1327
01:14:25,893 --> 01:14:28,595
And the result of that,
they took his scholarship away.
1328
01:14:30,897 --> 01:14:32,767
But Hannibal did
something interesting.
1329
01:14:32,902 --> 01:14:35,799
He hired
a lawyer in a cheap suit
with some night-school degree,
1330
01:14:35,934 --> 01:14:38,667
and he sued the NCAA
for workmen's comp.
1331
01:14:38,802 --> 01:14:40,673
- Smart, right?
- Yeah.
1332
01:14:40,808 --> 01:14:43,109
Went all the way to
the Louisiana Supreme Court.
1333
01:14:43,245 --> 01:14:44,912
What happened?
1334
01:14:45,047 --> 01:14:46,814
Student-athlete.
1335
01:14:46,950 --> 01:14:49,279
Yeah, they said he was nothing
but a student-athlete.
1336
01:14:49,415 --> 01:14:51,451
They didn't consider him
an employee, even though
they were selling
1337
01:14:51,587 --> 01:14:53,213
hundreds and thousands
of tickets
1338
01:14:53,349 --> 01:14:55,890
every fucking Saturday,
making millions of dollars!
1339
01:14:56,025 --> 01:14:59,521
You're breaking your body
every fucking practice
and every game.
1340
01:14:59,656 --> 01:15:02,296
And whenever they decide
to take the scholarship
away from you, they can,
1341
01:15:02,432 --> 01:15:03,957
whenever the fuck
they feel like it.
1342
01:15:04,092 --> 01:15:06,898
That's a crazy,
sick system.
1343
01:15:07,033 --> 01:15:10,194
And maybe you two
will change it.
I don't know.
1344
01:15:10,329 --> 01:15:13,970
But I want y'all to understand
something. There's a lot
of Han Lawsons out here.
1345
01:15:15,211 --> 01:15:16,643
Survival of the fittest.
1346
01:15:18,343 --> 01:15:20,108
America.
1347
01:15:21,583 --> 01:15:23,546
This little pigskin football
right here
1348
01:15:23,682 --> 01:15:25,042
holds a lot of weight to it.
1349
01:15:25,178 --> 01:15:26,945
It's more than a game.
1350
01:15:27,081 --> 01:15:28,886
It's a fucking business.
1351
01:15:33,425 --> 01:15:34,793
Hey, Coach.
1352
01:15:35,822 --> 01:15:37,565
Thank you.
1353
01:15:38,530 --> 01:15:39,996
Good luck, fellas.
1354
01:15:48,678 --> 01:15:50,504
We're gonna need Cecil
on board.
1355
01:15:50,640 --> 01:15:54,175
We both don't play,
the advertisers
will start pulling out.
1356
01:15:55,515 --> 01:15:56,914
It's the only way.
1357
01:16:00,150 --> 01:16:02,348
Take a little more
of the edge off.
1358
01:16:04,259 --> 01:16:06,388
Gotta let it out.
1359
01:16:06,523 --> 01:16:09,392
If you don't,
it just stays inside you,
it becomes poison.
1360
01:16:11,358 --> 01:16:14,061
Okay, what's the plan?
Damn it.
1361
01:16:14,197 --> 01:16:16,130
I can't even focus
on that right now.
1362
01:16:16,265 --> 01:16:19,568
Well, you... you got to.
You gotta bifurcate.
1363
01:16:19,703 --> 01:16:23,940
Uh, I don't know what
that means, but I think
I get the gist of it.
1364
01:16:24,076 --> 01:16:25,907
About to lose 500,000
'cause of LeMarcus.
1365
01:16:26,042 --> 01:16:27,106
Taylor.
He fucked us.
1366
01:16:27,241 --> 01:16:28,547
- Put the phone down.
- He fucked us.
1367
01:16:28,682 --> 01:16:30,344
- Put the phone down.
- All right.
1368
01:16:30,479 --> 01:16:33,014
Coach, I know you don't want
to hear this right now.
1369
01:16:33,150 --> 01:16:36,079
I've been married
three times myself.
1370
01:16:36,215 --> 01:16:38,386
But the hurt goes away.
1371
01:16:38,522 --> 01:16:39,788
Poof.
1372
01:16:39,924 --> 01:16:41,959
One day, just like that.
Gone.
1373
01:16:42,094 --> 01:16:44,798
I'm telling you,
Bailey's my one and only.
1374
01:16:44,933 --> 01:16:47,929
And she's gone.
And it's my own goddamn fault.
1375
01:16:48,064 --> 01:16:49,635
Coach,
no offense at all.
1376
01:16:49,771 --> 01:16:51,703
Your love life,
that's your thing.
1377
01:16:51,839 --> 01:16:53,301
Your racial views,
that's your thing.
1378
01:16:53,436 --> 01:16:55,843
But we have
a national title
in less than 24 hours.
1379
01:16:55,978 --> 01:16:58,269
Can you please
just focus on that?
Fucking racial views?
1380
01:16:58,404 --> 01:16:59,909
First of all,
one goddamn reporter
1381
01:17:00,044 --> 01:17:01,480
baits me into saying
something stupid.
1382
01:17:01,615 --> 01:17:03,114
I know
you're not racist.
1383
01:17:03,250 --> 01:17:04,850
I'm just saying we got
the game to focus on, okay?
1384
01:17:04,985 --> 01:17:06,677
That's all I'm saying.
What fucking game?
1385
01:17:06,812 --> 01:17:08,780
I don't have
a goddamn team.
Less than 24 hours.
1386
01:17:08,916 --> 01:17:12,126
I'm supposed
to walk out of that tunnel
with... with freshmen.
1387
01:17:12,261 --> 01:17:14,692
Nobody's askin' you...
and go in there and get
our ass kicked?
1388
01:17:14,827 --> 01:17:17,528
You gotta figure it out.
That's not competition.
That's a fucking slaughter.
1389
01:17:17,663 --> 01:17:19,163
I'm doing what I can.
1390
01:17:19,299 --> 01:17:21,268
You gotta do better, Coach.
You're under contract.
1391
01:17:21,404 --> 01:17:23,103
Con...
Fuck that contract.
1392
01:17:23,239 --> 01:17:25,671
Are you talking to me
about the fucking contract
right now?
1393
01:17:25,806 --> 01:17:27,301
I could walk
across the street tomorrow
1394
01:17:27,436 --> 01:17:29,309
and get another contract
if they find me in breach.
1395
01:17:29,444 --> 01:17:31,677
I don't give a shit.
I don't need
the goddamn money anyway.
1396
01:17:31,813 --> 01:17:33,173
Coach,
you're hurtin' right now.
1397
01:17:33,308 --> 01:17:36,513
Let's just give it
an hour or two.
1398
01:17:36,648 --> 01:17:38,313
See the state of play.
1399
01:17:38,449 --> 01:17:41,612
It's best not to make
any decisions feeling this way.
1400
01:17:43,152 --> 01:17:44,691
Tell you what.
It's the ones
1401
01:17:44,826 --> 01:17:47,618
that are closest to us
that hurt us the most.
1402
01:18:06,439 --> 01:18:08,847
You as good
as they say you are?
1403
01:18:08,983 --> 01:18:11,686
To which of my many talents
are you referring?
1404
01:18:12,986 --> 01:18:15,379
There was a fight
that no one knows about.
1405
01:18:15,514 --> 01:18:17,856
A real brawl.
A kid got hurt bad.
1406
01:18:17,992 --> 01:18:21,191
I'll alert the authorities.
Oh, they know.
1407
01:18:21,327 --> 01:18:24,732
He's blind in one eye now
and got a hole in his skull.
1408
01:18:26,394 --> 01:18:29,396
But money talks,
and NDAs don't.
1409
01:18:34,607 --> 01:18:36,040
I'm listening.
1410
01:18:38,807 --> 01:18:40,176
LeMarcus.
1411
01:18:46,553 --> 01:18:49,316
Oh, crap,
I think I just called you
my pistachio.
1412
01:18:49,451 --> 01:18:52,917
Your phone sucks.
Is mine in there?
1413
01:18:53,053 --> 01:18:54,655
It is here.
1414
01:18:54,791 --> 01:18:56,522
Ah.
1415
01:18:56,658 --> 01:18:59,792
You just got a text
from a guy
named Mike Titus.
1416
01:18:59,928 --> 01:19:01,762
What? Crap.
1417
01:19:01,897 --> 01:19:05,369
I just must have grabbed
James' personal one again
by accident.
1418
01:19:05,505 --> 01:19:09,304
Can you bring it to me,
mi pistachio?
1419
01:19:10,737 --> 01:19:12,779
It's probably goin' ape-shit
right now.
1420
01:19:12,915 --> 01:19:14,914
After everything we've done
for LeMarcus.
1421
01:19:15,049 --> 01:19:18,384
Every single one of those kids
are spoiled brats.
1422
01:19:18,520 --> 01:19:20,418
Spoiled freaking brats.
1423
01:19:20,553 --> 01:19:22,952
Geez.
1424
01:19:23,087 --> 01:19:27,124
Oh, I cannot wait
to go to Rome.
1425
01:19:27,259 --> 01:19:30,088
There's this one place
that I want to eat at,
1426
01:19:30,223 --> 01:19:33,399
and they still have
the bullet holes
in the walls from the war.
1427
01:19:33,534 --> 01:19:37,068
Do you see this?
Probably not,
'cause your phone stinks.
1428
01:19:40,836 --> 01:19:41,941
What?
1429
01:19:44,844 --> 01:19:46,781
I've been helping LeMarcus.
1430
01:19:49,515 --> 01:19:51,242
What?
1431
01:19:51,378 --> 01:19:53,145
You know, with his boycott.
1432
01:19:53,281 --> 01:19:54,888
That's why I'm here.
1433
01:19:56,524 --> 01:19:58,320
I don't get it.
1434
01:20:00,320 --> 01:20:02,654
He came to me after class.
1435
01:20:03,662 --> 01:20:05,129
And...
1436
01:20:06,227 --> 01:20:07,758
...what was I gonna do?
1437
01:20:08,737 --> 01:20:10,695
Be another
tenured paper tiger?
1438
01:20:12,270 --> 01:20:14,369
Teaching organized labor
five days a week,
1439
01:20:14,505 --> 01:20:16,875
then hide behind my desk
when one of my own students
1440
01:20:17,011 --> 01:20:19,176
actually wants
to do something about it?
1441
01:20:21,074 --> 01:20:22,842
So...
1442
01:20:22,978 --> 01:20:24,346
I helped him
1443
01:20:25,487 --> 01:20:27,448
with his strategy
1444
01:20:28,247 --> 01:20:29,890
any way I could.
1445
01:20:31,954 --> 01:20:33,088
It's funny.
1446
01:20:33,223 --> 01:20:35,329
LeMarcus knew
the rumors about us,
1447
01:20:35,464 --> 01:20:37,190
like everybody else.
1448
01:20:37,326 --> 01:20:39,130
Except your husband,
of course.
1449
01:20:40,430 --> 01:20:43,663
And you, calling LeMarcus
a spoiled brat,
1450
01:20:44,633 --> 01:20:48,205
especially when he has
so much to lose.
1451
01:20:50,137 --> 01:20:53,672
Maybe you're more part
of the system than you think.
Get out.
1452
01:20:55,809 --> 01:20:57,984
Get the fuck out of here.
1453
01:21:02,654 --> 01:21:03,924
Leave!
1454
01:21:27,010 --> 01:21:28,710
Fuck me.
1455
01:22:05,582 --> 01:22:07,786
Oh, sorry. I think
we got the wrong room.
1456
01:22:07,922 --> 01:22:09,779
No.
This room is Cecil's.
1457
01:22:09,915 --> 01:22:12,256
Come in.
We don't have a lot of time.
1458
01:22:20,564 --> 01:22:23,128
My name's Katherine Poe.
I come bearing gifts.
1459
01:22:23,264 --> 01:22:25,236
You need my phone?
1460
01:22:28,708 --> 01:22:30,002
You look rough.
1461
01:22:30,138 --> 01:22:32,269
Just a cold.
1462
01:22:32,405 --> 01:22:33,905
Where's Cecil?
1463
01:22:34,040 --> 01:22:36,643
They're in a suite
ten floors up, playing 2K.
1464
01:22:38,112 --> 01:22:39,580
No, wait.
1465
01:22:39,716 --> 01:22:42,046
You haven't
even heard my offer yet.
1466
01:22:42,182 --> 01:22:44,789
It's a pretty good offer.
A lot of wonderful things.
1467
01:22:44,925 --> 01:22:46,653
A lot of meat
on the bone.
1468
01:22:51,862 --> 01:22:53,433
Okay.
1469
01:22:53,568 --> 01:22:55,399
What you got?
1470
01:22:55,534 --> 01:22:57,834
I send the best concierge
doctor in New Orleans,
1471
01:22:57,970 --> 01:22:59,600
Dr. Eric, to your room.
1472
01:22:59,736 --> 01:23:03,172
He gives you an IV, a Z-Pak,
you get plenty of rest,
1473
01:23:03,307 --> 01:23:05,474
you and your team
play the game,
1474
01:23:06,807 --> 01:23:08,945
and you go number one
overall in April.
1475
01:23:09,081 --> 01:23:10,481
All your dreams
come true.
1476
01:23:10,617 --> 01:23:12,213
And...
1477
01:23:12,348 --> 01:23:15,153
I will personally
make sure
1478
01:23:15,288 --> 01:23:18,682
that the NCAA forms
an exploratory committee
1479
01:23:18,818 --> 01:23:21,955
to fully monetize
amateur athletics.
1480
01:23:22,090 --> 01:23:24,397
"Exploratory committee"?
Yeah, that's gonna
be a pass.
1481
01:23:24,532 --> 01:23:27,529
No, wait.
You haven't heard the cherry on top.
1482
01:23:28,796 --> 01:23:30,961
Best part is,
you don't go to jail.
1483
01:23:32,866 --> 01:23:35,205
For boycottin'
a football game?
1484
01:23:35,341 --> 01:23:38,540
For the attempted murder
of K.C. Walton.
1485
01:23:43,585 --> 01:23:44,942
Wow.
1486
01:23:45,981 --> 01:23:47,885
Wow!
1487
01:23:48,021 --> 01:23:51,453
For the last 48 hours,
you guys have been trying
to destroy this man!
1488
01:23:51,588 --> 01:23:53,886
And what, you land
on outright assassination?
1489
01:23:54,021 --> 01:23:57,225
For what, money?
K.C. Walton is blind
in one eye.
1490
01:23:57,360 --> 01:23:59,390
He has a crack
in his skull,
1491
01:23:59,526 --> 01:24:03,735
and he hasn't walked the same
ever since that fight
outside of the, uh,
1492
01:24:03,871 --> 01:24:06,832
Gin Mill Bar and Grill.
1493
01:24:08,876 --> 01:24:10,908
So I spoke to his mother,
1494
01:24:11,044 --> 01:24:12,843
and she jumped at the idea
of being able to...
It's bullshit.
1495
01:24:12,979 --> 01:24:15,108
It's not bullshit!
1496
01:24:15,244 --> 01:24:18,448
She jumped at the idea
of being able
to throw out that NDA
1497
01:24:18,583 --> 01:24:21,350
and burn that 100K
that was used to buy them off
1498
01:24:21,486 --> 01:24:23,923
if it meant that
she could find the guys
1499
01:24:24,059 --> 01:24:26,919
who hurt her son
and get paid again.
1500
01:24:27,054 --> 01:24:29,921
You don't know
what you're doing.
Hey. No.
1501
01:24:31,196 --> 01:24:32,556
She ain't got nothin'.
1502
01:24:32,691 --> 01:24:34,365
Let's get outta here.
1503
01:24:36,330 --> 01:24:37,764
I got Reggie.
1504
01:24:41,501 --> 01:24:43,176
Your half-brother.
1505
01:24:48,178 --> 01:24:49,611
So you spoke to him?
1506
01:24:51,183 --> 01:24:53,253
Haven't found him yet.
1507
01:24:53,388 --> 01:24:56,857
When I do, I promise you,
I am going to piece together
1508
01:24:56,992 --> 01:24:59,383
what exactly happened
that night.
1509
01:24:59,519 --> 01:25:02,119
LeMarcus, wake up.
1510
01:25:03,556 --> 01:25:06,361
How do you think
it is gonna look
when someone like Reggie,
1511
01:25:06,497 --> 01:25:09,067
who has two felony
possession charges
1512
01:25:09,202 --> 01:25:11,136
and assault and battery,
shows up
1513
01:25:11,272 --> 01:25:13,334
in front of an all-white jury
in Missouri
1514
01:25:13,469 --> 01:25:14,974
with
attempted-murder charges
1515
01:25:15,110 --> 01:25:18,068
to a guy who is
permanently injured?
1516
01:25:19,314 --> 01:25:21,313
One look at that jack,
and I'd be able to know
1517
01:25:21,448 --> 01:25:23,348
that he was the one
that kicked K.C.'s ass.
1518
01:25:24,283 --> 01:25:26,581
But guess what?
This is America.
1519
01:25:26,716 --> 01:25:29,189
Nobody cares
about your brother.
1520
01:25:29,888 --> 01:25:30,949
Nobody.
1521
01:25:32,717 --> 01:25:35,688
The only one
they were able to spot
that night in that melee
1522
01:25:35,824 --> 01:25:39,692
was one LeMarcus James,
star quarterback.
1523
01:25:39,827 --> 01:25:42,098
And so the state police
picked you up
1524
01:25:42,233 --> 01:25:43,630
and hit you with charges,
1525
01:25:43,765 --> 01:25:45,664
but some
deep-pocketed booster,
1526
01:25:45,799 --> 01:25:47,903
who I think
I just fucking met,
1527
01:25:48,038 --> 01:25:49,107
stepped in
1528
01:25:49,242 --> 01:25:51,806
and paid off K.C.
and his family.
1529
01:25:51,941 --> 01:25:53,945
Because that's what we do
in big football, right?
1530
01:25:54,080 --> 01:25:56,583
You protect the phenom
1531
01:25:56,718 --> 01:26:00,345
when he has a chance
of bringing home that
national title this year.
1532
01:26:00,481 --> 01:26:02,354
Sound about right?
1533
01:26:03,952 --> 01:26:07,789
I suggest you let
Dr. Eric patch you up tonight,
1534
01:26:07,925 --> 01:26:11,460
and then we do
a joint press conference
in the morning.
1535
01:26:11,596 --> 01:26:15,326
All the head honchos
up in the penthouse,
1536
01:26:15,462 --> 01:26:17,136
heads bowed,
1537
01:26:17,271 --> 01:26:19,800
agreeing that,
yes, there is a problem.
1538
01:26:21,502 --> 01:26:23,176
And then you play.
1539
01:26:23,311 --> 01:26:26,640
You win, and you get
to take that victory lap
1540
01:26:26,775 --> 01:26:29,411
you have been
dreaming about since...
1541
01:26:29,546 --> 01:26:31,844
since you stood
on the sidelines
1542
01:26:31,979 --> 01:26:34,650
watching your big brother
in north Virginia.
1543
01:26:36,183 --> 01:26:40,425
And then change does come
because of you, eventually.
1544
01:26:40,560 --> 01:26:43,593
And that is something
you both can be proud of.
1545
01:26:44,558 --> 01:26:47,225
I got a question.
1546
01:26:47,361 --> 01:26:50,403
Are you completely
fucking heartless,
or just a little bit?
1547
01:26:50,539 --> 01:26:53,035
- Oh, my God.
- How do you live with yourself?
1548
01:26:53,170 --> 01:26:56,974
Honestly, how do you live
with yourself?
I am not heartless!
1549
01:26:57,109 --> 01:26:58,971
You do not know me!
1550
01:27:00,679 --> 01:27:03,479
You think I don't know
your struggle?
1551
01:27:03,614 --> 01:27:07,287
You think I don't know
what you have come from?
That I haven't been there?
1552
01:27:08,356 --> 01:27:10,056
You think I don't know
what it's like
1553
01:27:10,191 --> 01:27:12,224
to be without heat
in your house?
1554
01:27:12,360 --> 01:27:13,853
That I don't know
what it's like
1555
01:27:13,988 --> 01:27:16,161
to not be able
to afford your jersey,
1556
01:27:16,296 --> 01:27:17,794
and you are
avoiding your coach
1557
01:27:17,929 --> 01:27:20,531
'cause you don't have
the $50 to pay for it?
1558
01:27:22,227 --> 01:27:24,931
I ran track at Duke, okay?
1559
01:27:26,367 --> 01:27:27,731
Full ride.
1560
01:27:27,867 --> 01:27:29,800
No big medals, no big wins.
1561
01:27:29,935 --> 01:27:33,278
But I took that money
because it was the only way
I was gonna run myself
1562
01:27:33,413 --> 01:27:36,147
out of that
Red Hook project.
1563
01:27:36,283 --> 01:27:38,879
You think you know me.
1564
01:27:40,251 --> 01:27:42,118
You don't know me.
1565
01:27:42,254 --> 01:27:46,089
I had to fight and climb
1566
01:27:46,224 --> 01:27:48,553
and crawl to be here
1567
01:27:48,689 --> 01:27:50,693
because I did the work.
1568
01:27:54,036 --> 01:27:59,064
The NCAA spends $3.6 billion
1569
01:27:59,199 --> 01:28:02,776
on student-athlete
scholarships for kids like me,
1570
01:28:02,911 --> 01:28:05,411
like you and like you,
1571
01:28:06,774 --> 01:28:08,982
so that we can get a leg up.
1572
01:28:09,118 --> 01:28:11,043
And what happens
to all of that
1573
01:28:12,120 --> 01:28:14,114
when they start paying you?
1574
01:28:14,249 --> 01:28:15,716
Hmm?
1575
01:28:15,852 --> 01:28:20,090
What happens to volleyball
in Minnesota,
1576
01:28:20,225 --> 01:28:22,126
to soccer in Idaho,
1577
01:28:22,262 --> 01:28:24,428
to softball in South Carolina?
1578
01:28:24,564 --> 01:28:26,927
What happens to
all of those other sports
1579
01:28:27,062 --> 01:28:30,667
that are not men's football
and basketball?
1580
01:28:32,665 --> 01:28:36,200
You out here fighting,
and you forgot
who you're fighting for.
1581
01:28:38,777 --> 01:28:41,843
You know, but...
1582
01:28:42,951 --> 01:28:44,648
Hey, what do I know?
1583
01:28:45,811 --> 01:28:47,277
I'm heartless.
1584
01:29:24,621 --> 01:29:27,918
Hi, everybody, andgood morning from the Big Easy.I'm Steve Levy.
1585
01:29:28,054 --> 01:29:29,693
We are some 12 hours away
1586
01:29:29,828 --> 01:29:32,530
from tonight's SnickersNational Title game.
1587
01:29:32,665 --> 01:29:34,696
Now, I'm being toldthat a midnight deal
1588
01:29:34,832 --> 01:29:37,369
may have been brokeredwith LeMarcus James.
1589
01:29:37,505 --> 01:29:40,269
Details still remaina little bit sketchy,
1590
01:29:40,404 --> 01:29:43,539
but there'sa news conference scheduledfor a couple hours from now.
1591
01:29:43,674 --> 01:29:45,739
My sources tell methat both teams
1592
01:29:45,874 --> 01:29:47,377
could beat full strength tonight,
1593
01:29:47,512 --> 01:29:49,679
and that includes James.
1594
01:29:49,815 --> 01:29:51,616
You know what elsethat means?
1595
01:29:51,752 --> 01:29:54,412
Strike up the band.Fire up that old grill.
1596
01:29:54,547 --> 01:29:56,983
We're gonna have some greatfootball action for you to...
1597
01:29:57,119 --> 01:30:00,217
The 13-1 Cougarsagainst the undefeated Wolves,
1598
01:30:00,353 --> 01:30:01,887
the two best playersin the country...
1599
01:30:02,022 --> 01:30:04,594
Or will it?Even with the rumors
1600
01:30:04,730 --> 01:30:06,731
of a late-night dealwith LeMarcus James,
1601
01:30:06,867 --> 01:30:10,195
many oddsmakers still doubthe will actually play tonight.
1602
01:30:10,330 --> 01:30:12,997
So the question is,can James Lazor's Wolves
1603
01:30:13,133 --> 01:30:15,007
win withouttheir star quarterback?
1604
01:30:15,142 --> 01:30:16,609
I'm not so sure.
1605
01:30:16,744 --> 01:30:20,345
Well, yeah.
He and LeMarcus
have the same mother.
1606
01:30:20,481 --> 01:30:22,281
Yeah, they both grew up
in Virginia.
1607
01:30:22,416 --> 01:30:25,450
Reggie,
he played JUCO football,
1608
01:30:25,585 --> 01:30:27,286
but that fizzled out
after they cut him
1609
01:30:27,421 --> 01:30:29,421
for having
too many concussions.
1610
01:30:29,556 --> 01:30:31,423
I would start
with the state prisons.
1611
01:30:31,559 --> 01:30:33,590
Even try
mental health facilities.
1612
01:30:33,726 --> 01:30:35,822
We need to do
a social media backdoor too.
1613
01:30:35,958 --> 01:30:37,759
I doubt that
he even has an account,
1614
01:30:37,894 --> 01:30:40,126
but we have got to find him.
1615
01:30:41,367 --> 01:30:43,132
He is our pressure point.
1616
01:30:43,267 --> 01:30:45,604
Oh. Coach.
1617
01:30:48,076 --> 01:30:49,641
I got your message.
1618
01:30:53,645 --> 01:30:55,944
This thing
we're toying with,
1619
01:30:57,617 --> 01:30:59,915
it's Pandora's box,
you know?
1620
01:31:01,120 --> 01:31:02,284
I know.
1621
01:31:02,420 --> 01:31:03,952
Nobody gets hurt.
1622
01:31:05,192 --> 01:31:06,659
Nobody goes to jail.
1623
01:31:06,794 --> 01:31:09,793
We just play this game.
That's what we all want.
1624
01:31:20,075 --> 01:31:22,099
Dear Lord,
1625
01:31:22,234 --> 01:31:25,303
the trees are thick,
and we've yet to see a path
through the wilderness.
1626
01:31:26,839 --> 01:31:28,609
Send us a light.
1627
01:31:28,744 --> 01:31:30,950
Show us the way.
Amen.
1628
01:31:31,085 --> 01:31:33,377
Amen.
1629
01:31:36,115 --> 01:31:39,316
I can't believe you've
been here this whole time
and didn't tell us.
1630
01:31:39,451 --> 01:31:42,051
What? You thought I was
gonna miss the show?
1631
01:31:44,494 --> 01:31:45,893
I'm sorry.
1632
01:31:46,029 --> 01:31:48,164
No, hey, you don't
owe me anything.
1633
01:31:48,299 --> 01:31:50,662
You're the one, the two of you,
who had the guts and vision...
1634
01:31:50,798 --> 01:31:53,001
I meant about her.
1635
01:31:54,098 --> 01:31:56,172
Oh.
1636
01:31:56,307 --> 01:31:57,775
Yeah. Her.
1637
01:31:58,771 --> 01:31:59,979
Well...
1638
01:32:01,341 --> 01:32:03,448
I made my own bed
on that one, so...
1639
01:32:03,583 --> 01:32:05,878
"Thou shalt
not commit adultery"
1640
01:32:06,013 --> 01:32:07,620
is the seventh Commandment.
1641
01:32:10,954 --> 01:32:13,351
Thank you
for clarifying that, Emmett.
1642
01:32:14,492 --> 01:32:16,158
You're welcome.
1643
01:32:16,294 --> 01:32:19,297
Look, Elliott,
we can't thank you enough, man.
1644
01:32:19,433 --> 01:32:22,131
Without you, we...
1645
01:32:22,267 --> 01:32:24,670
we wouldn't have even had
a shot to pull this off.
1646
01:32:26,505 --> 01:32:28,201
What's going on here?
1647
01:32:29,739 --> 01:32:31,609
Are we about to hold hands
1648
01:32:31,745 --> 01:32:33,844
and feel good
about your little protest?
1649
01:32:33,980 --> 01:32:36,546
'Cause I thought you guys
were in it to win it.
1650
01:32:36,682 --> 01:32:38,546
You know,
as if it were, say,
1651
01:32:38,681 --> 01:32:41,115
the national title.
1652
01:32:46,688 --> 01:32:50,223
Let me give you a little
something I stumbled across
from my travels.
1653
01:32:51,929 --> 01:32:54,425
I believe that's your coach's.
1654
01:32:55,603 --> 01:32:57,399
Wasn't even wrapped
in aluminum.
1655
01:32:57,534 --> 01:32:59,870
Amateur move.
1656
01:33:01,637 --> 01:33:04,435
Yeah, but what's
the point of this?
We can't unlock it.
1657
01:33:05,845 --> 01:33:08,780
Do you need to?
You know what's on it.
1658
01:33:10,250 --> 01:33:13,510
And you're a quarterback.
You know how to bluff
the other team.
1659
01:33:19,319 --> 01:33:20,856
So you're saying
we keep going?
1660
01:33:20,991 --> 01:33:22,453
That's not my decision.
1661
01:33:22,589 --> 01:33:24,961
It's not even
about which one is right.
1662
01:33:26,859 --> 01:33:29,531
It's about, which one
are you gonna be able
to live with,
1663
01:33:29,666 --> 01:33:31,735
no matter how it goes,
1664
01:33:31,870 --> 01:33:34,003
how much you suffer
the consequences.
1665
01:33:37,110 --> 01:33:40,780
I'm just letting you know
you still have some options.
1666
01:33:40,915 --> 01:33:44,414
It's off to Rome for me,
comrades.
1667
01:33:44,549 --> 01:33:47,445
Wait, you ain't staying
for the game?
Nah, opiate for the masses.
1668
01:33:47,580 --> 01:33:50,184
It's, like,
too much winning
for my taste.
1669
01:33:53,494 --> 01:33:55,321
I'm so proud
of you guys.
1670
01:33:57,132 --> 01:33:58,792
You did this.
1671
01:33:58,928 --> 01:34:01,162
You alone.
And it was...
1672
01:34:03,570 --> 01:34:05,496
It was
fucking magnificent.
1673
01:34:08,870 --> 01:34:10,639
Veni, vidi...
1674
01:34:10,775 --> 01:34:12,135
Vici.Vici.
1675
01:34:15,448 --> 01:34:16,674
Goddamn.
1676
01:34:16,810 --> 01:34:18,113
Well...
1677
01:34:19,753 --> 01:34:21,919
we're about due
for our surrender.
1678
01:34:23,050 --> 01:34:24,790
What you thinkin'?
1679
01:34:25,591 --> 01:34:27,155
I don't fucking know.
1680
01:34:28,120 --> 01:34:29,624
My head is pounding.
1681
01:34:29,759 --> 01:34:32,196
Where's that doc?
1682
01:34:32,331 --> 01:34:35,196
Yeah, I'll go get him.
He said he'd wait
in the lobby.
1683
01:34:37,832 --> 01:34:39,466
Damn, you sick.
1684
01:34:39,601 --> 01:34:42,676
See if I can get you
another IV.
I'll be back in ten.
1685
01:35:53,780 --> 01:35:57,283
As soon as
he gets here, we'll have
the coach and him reunite,
1686
01:35:57,418 --> 01:36:01,119
uh, pleasantries, and then
we'll get right to inviting
the media in.
1687
01:36:01,255 --> 01:36:03,750
I'll give them a few minutes.
They'll go off to play.
1688
01:36:05,623 --> 01:36:06,958
Here we go.
1689
01:36:09,528 --> 01:36:10,695
Hey!
1690
01:36:10,830 --> 01:36:13,257
LeMarcus has risen.
There he is.
1691
01:36:13,392 --> 01:36:15,934
All right.
Great to see you.
1692
01:36:16,069 --> 01:36:18,067
Can I get you something?
Some water? A Snickers?
1693
01:36:18,202 --> 01:36:20,063
I'm good, thanks.
1694
01:36:20,198 --> 01:36:22,635
You were a little
under the weather,
but you're better now.
1695
01:36:22,771 --> 01:36:24,403
Yeah.
1696
01:36:24,539 --> 01:36:26,706
- That's good news.
- Not for us.
1697
01:36:28,283 --> 01:36:30,110
True.
1698
01:36:30,245 --> 01:36:32,211
Um,
I just wanted to, uh,
1699
01:36:32,347 --> 01:36:34,477
get us to have
a little face-to-face
1700
01:36:34,613 --> 01:36:36,248
before we bring
the cameras in here.
1701
01:36:36,383 --> 01:36:38,252
I was just telling
the coach here
1702
01:36:38,387 --> 01:36:40,754
how impressed I was
with, uh, your conduct.
1703
01:36:40,889 --> 01:36:42,125
Very honorable.
1704
01:36:43,223 --> 01:36:44,593
LeMarcus.
1705
01:36:44,729 --> 01:36:46,492
The team is back.
1706
01:36:47,559 --> 01:36:49,363
They heard
about this deal, and...
1707
01:36:50,331 --> 01:36:51,868
everybody else
is playin' this.
1708
01:36:52,003 --> 01:36:53,465
It's just you
and Emmett now.
1709
01:36:53,600 --> 01:36:57,207
These gentlemen are
giving you a committee,
1710
01:36:57,343 --> 01:37:00,308
and they are gonna address
all of your grievances.
1711
01:37:01,611 --> 01:37:02,948
So,
1712
01:37:03,816 --> 01:37:06,179
time to put on
those pads,
1713
01:37:06,314 --> 01:37:08,118
join your brothers,
and do battle.
1714
01:37:09,120 --> 01:37:10,681
Everybody's counti''
on you.
1715
01:37:12,418 --> 01:37:14,355
I'm countin' on you.
1716
01:37:17,798 --> 01:37:19,655
You know, I assure you,
LeMarcus,
1717
01:37:19,791 --> 01:37:21,592
this isn't
a ceremonial committee.
1718
01:37:21,727 --> 01:37:23,827
We're gonna dig down
into these issues
1719
01:37:23,962 --> 01:37:26,873
and figure out
what's best for all of us.
1720
01:37:29,739 --> 01:37:31,338
All right?
1721
01:37:31,473 --> 01:37:33,540
Like the coach said,
we have a game to play.
1722
01:37:33,676 --> 01:37:35,673
Let's get the cameras in...
I didn't say yes.
1723
01:37:37,014 --> 01:37:38,709
What's that?
1724
01:37:39,652 --> 01:37:40,986
I didn't say yes.
1725
01:37:47,652 --> 01:37:49,555
What would it take
in your mind
1726
01:37:50,465 --> 01:37:52,393
to get to yes?
1727
01:37:54,561 --> 01:37:56,694
Well, our demands
haven't changed.
1728
01:38:32,204 --> 01:38:34,103
That's
the sealed case file
1729
01:38:34,239 --> 01:38:36,536
from that fateful night
at the Gin Mill.
1730
01:38:39,312 --> 01:38:43,072
The detectives investigated
for two weeks, and then...
1731
01:38:44,779 --> 01:38:49,252
...suddenly, K.C. Walton
decided to drop the charges.
1732
01:38:55,591 --> 01:38:58,492
A lot of movin' pieces
in there, LeMarcus.
1733
01:38:59,458 --> 01:39:01,297
This thing is a minefield.
1734
01:39:03,094 --> 01:39:05,402
- You find my brother yet?
- Getting close.
1735
01:39:05,538 --> 01:39:09,635
I'd really love
to stop the search
and just have a beer,
1736
01:39:10,776 --> 01:39:12,506
watch a football game.
1737
01:39:16,116 --> 01:39:18,248
Well, why don't
we tell 'em, Coach?
1738
01:39:19,578 --> 01:39:21,119
We're a wolf pack, right?
1739
01:39:23,088 --> 01:39:24,989
We hunt together,
we starve alone.
1740
01:39:25,125 --> 01:39:26,885
Ain't that the creed
you always preach?
1741
01:39:27,021 --> 01:39:30,462
Why don't we tell everybody
how high up this really goes?
1742
01:39:30,597 --> 01:39:32,489
Stop. Just stop.
1743
01:39:32,625 --> 01:39:35,561
Look, you come out
of this now,
1744
01:39:35,696 --> 01:39:37,931
you're not just
a Heisman Trophy winner,
1745
01:39:38,067 --> 01:39:40,006
NFL first-rounder.
1746
01:39:41,574 --> 01:39:44,802
You're an icon now.
You've already
accomplished that.
1747
01:39:44,937 --> 01:39:47,937
You're the Curt Flood
of collegiate athletics.
1748
01:39:49,116 --> 01:39:51,281
You're making
history here already.
1749
01:39:51,416 --> 01:39:53,117
They're gonna write books
about you.
1750
01:39:53,253 --> 01:39:55,549
Now, don't throw
everything away for-for
1751
01:39:55,684 --> 01:39:58,187
whatever this
self-righteous bullshit is.
1752
01:39:58,323 --> 01:39:59,953
Come on, man.
You've worked too hard.
1753
01:40:01,457 --> 01:40:03,788
We've worked too hard
for this.
1754
01:40:04,825 --> 01:40:07,000
Let's just go
fuckin' win this thing.
1755
01:40:10,261 --> 01:40:11,301
Win.
1756
01:40:13,174 --> 01:40:15,404
That's all that
really matters, right?
1757
01:40:17,137 --> 01:40:18,605
Just win.
1758
01:40:20,176 --> 01:40:22,109
So that's what I did.
1759
01:40:22,245 --> 01:40:24,512
I won every damn game I could.
1760
01:40:25,952 --> 01:40:27,779
Conference championships,
1761
01:40:27,914 --> 01:40:30,448
Heisman Trophy...
I won and I won and I won.
1762
01:40:30,583 --> 01:40:35,025
Until you were so blind,
you didn't even see the game
I was really playin'.
1763
01:40:35,160 --> 01:40:37,462
You see,
in order to slay Goliath,
1764
01:40:37,597 --> 01:40:40,394
you gotta do it
on the biggest stage
with the brightest lights.
1765
01:40:40,529 --> 01:40:42,966
Millions of people,
an entire system,
1766
01:40:43,102 --> 01:40:45,905
so desperate
for one more win,
1767
01:40:46,040 --> 01:40:47,667
they'd do anything,
give anything.
1768
01:40:47,803 --> 01:40:50,505
No matter how many bodies
you gotta stand on top of.
1769
01:40:51,638 --> 01:40:53,903
And then you got
your professor
1770
01:40:54,039 --> 01:40:55,741
who's fuckin'
the coach's wife...
1771
01:40:58,018 --> 01:40:59,745
to give you
everything you need.
1772
01:41:01,853 --> 01:41:03,582
And you win.
1773
01:41:03,718 --> 01:41:05,948
You motherfucker!
1774
01:41:06,083 --> 01:41:08,720
You ungrateful bi...
Coach, don't do it.
1775
01:41:08,856 --> 01:41:11,691
Goddamn you,
you fucking ungrateful...
1776
01:41:12,890 --> 01:41:15,865
Jesus fucking Christ,
LeMarcus.
1777
01:41:16,000 --> 01:41:18,929
My wife! My wife!
1778
01:41:22,634 --> 01:41:24,407
Oh, my God.
1779
01:41:29,815 --> 01:41:33,251
Jesus Christ, man.
Everything we've been
through together...
1780
01:41:35,418 --> 01:41:37,552
everything
I've done for you...
1781
01:41:40,228 --> 01:41:43,195
You were a pimply faced
little 16-year-old boy,
1782
01:41:44,556 --> 01:41:46,594
scared to leave home.
1783
01:41:48,762 --> 01:41:51,137
And I looked your mother
in the eyes,
1784
01:41:51,272 --> 01:41:54,335
and I said,
"I will take care
of your boy."
1785
01:41:54,471 --> 01:41:56,637
And that's
what I've done.
1786
01:41:59,814 --> 01:42:01,609
Treated you like my own.
1787
01:42:03,244 --> 01:42:05,074
Like my own son.
1788
01:42:10,482 --> 01:42:12,116
How could you...
1789
01:42:13,893 --> 01:42:15,760
Goddamn, LeMarcus.
1790
01:42:15,896 --> 01:42:17,922
Why?
1791
01:42:22,630 --> 01:42:24,599
For all the ones
to come, Coach.
1792
01:42:25,931 --> 01:42:27,833
The ones
who ain't as fortunate.
1793
01:42:29,604 --> 01:42:31,672
Get this broken system
unbroken.
1794
01:42:33,982 --> 01:42:35,914
So no more of us
get banged up
1795
01:42:36,050 --> 01:42:38,184
and forced back
into poverty,
1796
01:42:39,548 --> 01:42:41,583
just like what happened
to Reggie.
1797
01:42:44,457 --> 01:42:48,119
You were the only one
who knew about that file.
1798
01:42:48,254 --> 01:42:51,461
And you stoop even lower,
and you bring Reggie
into this?
1799
01:42:53,000 --> 01:42:54,893
What, to you he's just...
1800
01:42:55,029 --> 01:42:57,632
he's just some pawn
that you can use against me?
1801
01:43:00,005 --> 01:43:01,636
He was my brother.
1802
01:43:04,471 --> 01:43:06,179
He was a human being.
1803
01:43:09,547 --> 01:43:12,911
Reggie died four months ago
in Tallahassee.
1804
01:43:15,020 --> 01:43:16,316
He took his own life.
1805
01:43:16,452 --> 01:43:19,253
Oh, Jesus. Fuck.
1806
01:43:19,389 --> 01:43:22,228
Y'all didn't know.
And what's worse,
y'all don't even care.
1807
01:43:24,331 --> 01:43:26,165
There's always
some new batch of kids
1808
01:43:26,301 --> 01:43:29,026
that get you more wins
and get you more money.
1809
01:43:33,005 --> 01:43:34,339
I am not your son.
1810
01:43:35,809 --> 01:43:37,133
I'm a man.
1811
01:43:42,982 --> 01:43:44,415
Yeah, you are.
1812
01:43:49,515 --> 01:43:51,147
And I love you.
1813
01:43:56,086 --> 01:43:58,121
But I got
a football game to win.
1814
01:44:12,377 --> 01:44:14,409
Gentlemen, um,
1815
01:44:14,544 --> 01:44:16,249
would you step out
for a minute?
1816
01:44:17,379 --> 01:44:18,878
Give us some time?
1817
01:44:39,371 --> 01:44:42,902
You open up that minefield,
it's gonna be more
than just me and Reggie.
1818
01:44:44,168 --> 01:44:45,770
On Coach's phone,
we got emails
1819
01:44:45,905 --> 01:44:48,038
from prosecutors,
law enforcement.
1820
01:44:48,173 --> 01:44:50,706
All of 'em were involved
in the cover-up.
1821
01:44:50,842 --> 01:44:53,076
Shoot, even the governor
1822
01:44:53,212 --> 01:44:55,618
chest bumps
in the locker room
on game day.
1823
01:44:57,387 --> 01:45:00,854
Coach's phone,
you'll find a text where
he promises to take care of it.
1824
01:45:05,624 --> 01:45:06,992
The martyr.
1825
01:45:08,335 --> 01:45:10,828
Willing to die
for the cause.
1826
01:45:10,963 --> 01:45:13,669
I find that courageous.
Admirable.
1827
01:45:15,076 --> 01:45:17,673
But what about Emmett Sunday?
1828
01:45:18,807 --> 01:45:21,006
You said you were
doing this for him.
1829
01:45:22,750 --> 01:45:24,141
Miss Poe?
1830
01:45:37,660 --> 01:45:40,928
"It was chaos.
People everywhere.
1831
01:45:41,064 --> 01:45:44,003
Then all of a sudden,
LeMarcus James,
the quarterback,
1832
01:45:44,138 --> 01:45:46,966
showed up
with someone else.
1833
01:45:48,500 --> 01:45:52,141
A big guy.
It was really dangerous.
1834
01:45:52,276 --> 01:45:54,171
Then the big white guy
1835
01:45:55,580 --> 01:45:58,046
flew through the crowd
and hit one guy
1836
01:45:58,181 --> 01:46:01,344
who dropped like he was dead
and threw another guy
into a wall.
1837
01:46:01,480 --> 01:46:04,647
LeMarcus grabbed the man
the crew were beating on,
1838
01:46:04,783 --> 01:46:06,425
and everyone ran.
1839
01:46:07,628 --> 01:46:10,220
Like I said,
it was chaos."
That was self-defense.
1840
01:46:11,330 --> 01:46:13,399
Maybe so. Maybe so.
1841
01:46:14,397 --> 01:46:15,698
But does it matter?
1842
01:46:17,235 --> 01:46:19,702
We go down this road,
1843
01:46:19,837 --> 01:46:21,903
they won't be putting you
on trial,
1844
01:46:22,039 --> 01:46:24,707
they'll be putting
your best friend, Emmett.
1845
01:46:25,843 --> 01:46:29,212
Now, do you have the stomach
to watch the sharks
1846
01:46:29,348 --> 01:46:31,474
rip him apart limb by limb
1847
01:46:31,609 --> 01:46:35,017
in front of the whole world
and leave him destroyed,
1848
01:46:35,152 --> 01:46:36,312
canceled?
1849
01:46:38,388 --> 01:46:40,426
LeMarcus,
you're standing toe-to-toe
with the behemoth,
1850
01:46:40,561 --> 01:46:42,560
and we haven't even
begun to fight.
1851
01:46:44,531 --> 01:46:46,755
College football is more
important than you,
1852
01:46:46,890 --> 01:46:48,860
me, Emmett,
1853
01:46:48,996 --> 01:46:51,030
or whatever really is
on that phone.
1854
01:46:52,667 --> 01:46:54,671
The American people
1855
01:46:54,807 --> 01:46:57,102
will let the state
of Missouri
fall under the sea
1856
01:46:57,237 --> 01:46:58,838
rather than give up
Saturday afternoon,
1857
01:46:58,974 --> 01:47:00,677
drunk and roaring
for their alma mater.
1858
01:47:02,943 --> 01:47:04,945
We're inevitable
as the rain.
1859
01:47:12,427 --> 01:47:14,658
Now, you gonna put
on that helmet or not?
1860
01:47:29,276 --> 01:47:32,542
...gearingup for the college footballnational title game.
1861
01:47:32,677 --> 01:47:34,378
The fans are buzzingwith excitement...
1862
01:47:34,513 --> 01:47:37,142
"Inevitable"?
Like what?
1863
01:47:38,545 --> 01:47:39,881
The rain.
1864
01:47:41,718 --> 01:47:44,083
"I'm inevitable
as the rain."
1865
01:47:46,359 --> 01:47:48,617
Feels powerful.
Mm-hmm.
1866
01:47:48,753 --> 01:47:50,386
It was.
1867
01:47:58,202 --> 01:48:01,133
Gonna have to drain
the fluid out of this
damn thing again.
1868
01:48:04,905 --> 01:48:07,378
You look better. Lighter.
1869
01:48:07,513 --> 01:48:09,438
Finally breathe
through my nose.
1870
01:48:10,617 --> 01:48:13,809
By the way,
that Doc Holliday head fake,
1871
01:48:13,945 --> 01:48:16,654
you playing like you were
on your deathbed,
was sure good.
1872
01:48:19,583 --> 01:48:23,056
Lacked the nuance of Kilmer,
but, uh, I bought it.
1873
01:48:24,023 --> 01:48:25,656
I'll be your Huckleberry.
1874
01:48:34,599 --> 01:48:36,841
You sure they didn't try
to use me against you?
1875
01:48:36,976 --> 01:48:38,170
Nah.
1876
01:48:39,606 --> 01:48:41,270
I swear.
1877
01:48:41,406 --> 01:48:43,508
'Cause if I find out
that you were...
1878
01:48:43,643 --> 01:48:45,211
Trust me.
1879
01:48:45,347 --> 01:48:48,152
They know this fight hurts them
way more than it hurts us.
1880
01:48:48,287 --> 01:48:52,015
All those people involved
in the cover-up,
they ain't doin' shit.
1881
01:48:52,150 --> 01:48:55,355
The Superdomein New Orleans is readyto explode with excitement.
1882
01:48:55,490 --> 01:48:58,289
Tonight, it's the SnickersNational Title game.
1883
01:48:58,424 --> 01:49:00,159
Hi, everybody,and good evening.
1884
01:49:00,294 --> 01:49:02,224
I'm Steve Levy,along with Malcolm Jenkins,
1885
01:49:02,359 --> 01:49:03,830
and this one hasall the makings.
1886
01:49:03,966 --> 01:49:05,530
This could be a classic.
No.
1887
01:49:05,665 --> 01:49:07,068
We're talking aboutfor years to come...
1888
01:49:07,204 --> 01:49:09,432
Leave it.
...for a varietyof reasons.
1889
01:49:09,568 --> 01:49:11,373
A lot of the controversystill looms
1890
01:49:11,508 --> 01:49:13,570
with LeMarcus James bein'missin' from the action,
1891
01:49:13,706 --> 01:49:16,345
as he continues his fightagainst the NCAA practices,
1892
01:49:16,480 --> 01:49:18,751
a stance that has gonecrazy on social media...Whoo. Yes, sir.
1893
01:49:18,886 --> 01:49:20,617
...with the viral hashtag,"Fix the System."
1894
01:49:20,753 --> 01:49:22,782
How aboutone million tweets
1895
01:49:22,917 --> 01:49:24,953
the last 12 hours alone?
1896
01:49:25,088 --> 01:49:27,425
My sense is,this is only the beginning.
1897
01:49:27,560 --> 01:49:31,122
How do you think that translatesonto the field the next60 minutes we'll see tonight?
1898
01:49:31,258 --> 01:49:33,457
I thinkyou'll see these coacheshave these teams prepared.
1899
01:49:33,592 --> 01:49:35,393
These players have workedso hard to get to this moment,
1900
01:49:35,528 --> 01:49:37,062
that I thinkthey'll be focused...
1901
01:49:37,198 --> 01:49:38,770
At least we made
some noise, right?
1902
01:49:38,905 --> 01:49:40,767
...knowing thatthis is everything...
1903
01:49:40,902 --> 01:49:42,740
Oh, that wasn't just noise.
1904
01:49:44,137 --> 01:49:46,238
The truth is out now
because of us.
1905
01:49:47,414 --> 01:49:48,944
And they can't hide it.
1906
01:49:50,312 --> 01:49:52,915
Now more people are gonna
stand up, a lot more.
1907
01:49:54,018 --> 01:49:56,512
And they'll know
right where to hit 'em.
1908
01:49:57,585 --> 01:49:58,756
Yeah.
1909
01:50:00,654 --> 01:50:01,759
Yeah.
1910
01:50:02,591 --> 01:50:03,927
Hell, yeah.
1911
01:50:04,062 --> 01:50:06,731
Man, we're like the Rebels
in Rogue One.
1912
01:50:09,368 --> 01:50:11,903
We die on the beach,
1913
01:50:12,038 --> 01:50:15,135
but the plans
for the Death Star
make it off the island.
1914
01:50:23,211 --> 01:50:25,475
Nothing is inevitable
except the truth.
