Brian Cooper, On the Intricacies Of Sports Marketing & Doug Smith On What the Heck Is Wrong With The Toronto Raptors.

After the details of Shohei Ohtani’s 700 million dollar contract became public, many of us, including John and Richard, were left a little confused, not only by the deferments but about how the heck the LA Dodgers could afford to pay the Japanese baseball phenom that much money.

Luckily, Brian Cooper hops on the show to try to make it make sense. We break down the details of his contract as Brian shares with us how athletes’ likeness and cultural impact can be leveraged into even more money for a professional franchise before we switch over to some basketball talk as we discuss the Toronto Raptors and the team's shorter & long-term plans with Doug Smith.
