Dirty 3: NFL Loses Lawsuit Over Sunday Ticket
This is the Mojo in the Morning podcast, powered by Michigan Auto Law. Auto accident attorneys visit autolaw.com. That's autolaw.com. Mojo in the morning's dirty on the 30. I got a little fireworks fiasco coming up here in a second, Shannon. We're going to talk about that with the 4th of July, just around the corner. First though, big news with last night's debate. You got an update for us. What's going on? Yeah, I mean, there's so much stuff to talk about, but the big story this morning, following last night, Democrats are said to be freaking out over President Biden's performance. In fact, one poll this morning shows that two-thirds of normally Democrats' supporters think the president should drop out of the race. 67% after he spent much of the night losing his train of thought and just kind of like trailing off into silence. Moving till we get to total ban, the total initiative relative to what we're going to do with more border patrol and more asylum officers. President Trump, I really don't know what he said at the end of this. I don't think he knows what he said either. Do we know what that statistic was before the debate? Good question. I feel like that number was high before the debate. Yeah, sure. And just got higher. I mean, there were a lot of takeaways, a lot of people said Trump lied 26 times. Obviously, something was up with President Biden, and his team said he had a cold. At one point, the two men were talking about their golf handicaps, which was just really strange. He said he is. Take a look at what he is. Look, I'd be happy to have a driving contest for now. But by the way, I told you before I'm happy to play golf if you carry your own bag. Think you can do it? That's the biggest lie that is the sixth handicap of all. How is it any handicap? Yeah. You should never. But I have. You know how many good? I've seen you swing. I know you swing. Let's see. Let's not act like children. President Trump, we're going to win. Let's not act like children. Yeah. And the mics off. That's a great classic. MSNBC's Nicole Wallace commenting afterward. There is a conversation happening inside Biden's circle and certainly a much more frank conversation happening inside the Democratic coalition. And I think there will be stories of a lot of concern about the performance tonight. And I think what... When you say conversation is happening, what do you mean? I think people are talking, I think the conversations range from whether he should be in this race tomorrow morning to what was wrong with him. I mean, he has a cold. A lot of people cringing at how First Lady Jill Biden talked to her husband after the debate last night. Joe, you did such a great job. You answered every question. You knew all the time. Yeah. Yeah. And the criticism is that she sounded like she was talking to a child. What did Trump do? Why? Yeah. Yeah. So you said how many lines was it that he had? 26. What did they do? Did Biden lie at all? Yeah. There were fact checkers who said that he lied on several occasions as well. Yeah. Just incorrect facts. Yeah. It's interesting. I watch these debates and I usually will watch these debates. And you already... I think 90% of people probably already know who they are going to lean towards and vote. And I feel like these debates usually just seem more decorum-like, you know what I mean? And I felt like with all... I thought the decorum was actually not bad. It was the uncomfortability that was the thing. And I think that I was expecting it was going to be brash and even though that they were shutting the mics off, I think the mic thing hurt President Biden too, the shutting off of the mics. Because I think where Trump kind of normally will be more aggressive and go after him, I think that could have covered up a little bit of that of what happened. But it felt very uncomfortable last night. And I'm shocked that the people that are doing the debate was at Danabash and Jake Tapper didn't try to bring both of these candidates to the questions that they were asking. Like pretty much they would just answer whatever the hell they wanted to talk about. That's where that golf thing came into play. Like at some point when they're talking about their golf game, it's like... You are the moderator. Yeah. Moderate the damn debate. And I think they seem like they were afraid to moderate it. And the other big story from yesterday, a federal jury deciding against the NFL. This is big news by the way, anybody that likes to get Sunday ticket. Yeah, they told the league to pay nearly $5 billion in damages for inflating, artificially inflating the price of the NFL Sunday ticket. The decision after a month-long trial in this class action lawsuit could change the way that you watch football. The jury also awarded $96 million to a group of bar owners. And here's the thing. The way I understand this, damages in these sorts of cases can be tripled by a law, um, by a judge. So the NFL could actually be on the hook for more than $14 billion in total, which is just a crazy number, the NFL immediately said it would appeal that decision. I think that it's always been one of those ones where I thought, "Why is it that they've limited to one particular streaming service or was back in the day cable, was DirecTV? Now I think it's YouTube or whatever?" And I also think that they should allow you to be able just to follow your team, kind of like how baseball and basketball do, where you can actually follow your team if you want to. Yeah. I like to be able to watch the, you know, all the games. Although you do get all your games in the NFL, like you do get them all on, if the team sells out all their games. Back in the day, when the Lions didn't sell out, you know, if they didn't sell out Ford Field, they would black out some of those games. Yeah. Hey, for all of today's dirty, get all caught up from the week on the iHeartRadio app or mojo-in-the-morning.com. So I'm going to eat dirt directly from the sewers. It's mojo-in-the-morning's dirty on the 30. [MUSIC PLAYING]
