Mark Cuban says he gave millions of dollars to employees after selling his company because he believed they earned it. Shannon Sharpe: “When you sold the company, it was reported you gave employees $35 million in bonuses. Why?” Mark Cuban: “It ended up being a lot more than that.” “I’m not there without them.” “I did it with my first company, MicroSolutions. We had 80 employees and they all got paid.” “I did it again with Broadcast .com.” “Out of 330 employees, 300 became millionaires.” “I wanted to do the same thing with the Mavericks.” “They were there for me the whole time.” “For the people who had been there 20 years or more, it was life-changing money.”

I think Landon is extra excited for the USA game against Turkey if you know what I mean 💇🏼

Yesterday on the show, Sam Monson broke down his 5 worst rosters in the NFL… 😳

Loving the recent spate of content of pro athletes explaining to us all that taxes exist. Did you know that you don't actually get 100% of your salary? Someone takes a whole chunk of that shit before you ever see it! It's crazy, man.

Work in Lalas

Oh, hell yeah.

Obviously, it all comes down to whether he's good or not, but as a general process rule of thumb i would say 'shocking the world' in the draft is more of a bad thing than a virtue.

Steve and Sam make the case for why the Rams have the most complete roster in the NFL 🥇 “They were already one of the best, and then they conclusively addressed their biggest weakness over the offseason, trading for Trent McDuffie... another starting cornerback in Jaylen Watson, and the cherry on top... Myles Garrett.”

Steve and Sam break down the Texans roster heading into 2026, and why it landed at No. 2 on Sam’s list 👀

Today on the show, Sam Monson ranked his Top 5 NFL rosters 👀

BRADY COOK??

Steve and Sam explain why they’re both predicting Jihad Campbell to be the Eagles’ breakout star of 2026 "I think he has all the tools you’re looking for in a linebacker. He takes on blocks, can do it on the line of scrimmage and off the ball, has range in coverage, sees it well, tackles well, and rushes the passer. He has a next level to his game this year."

What was going on specifically, Deshaun.

Steve and Sam break down why Walter Nolen is ready to break out 👀 “As a prospect, he was pretty polarizing—some people had him as a top-10 talent, others had him as a second-rounder. I think last year he already showed that he’s a top-10 talent. He’s capable of being that disruptive monster on defense.”

This deal structure really has been win-win for KC and Mahomes. The first (almost) half-billion-dollar deal was almost immediately a bargain for the Chiefs, but Mahomes has always been destined to take home every cent of it, and now more. His career earnings are going to be off the charts, but his deal will be team-friendly throughout most of it. Legit agent/team win.

Insanely talented footballer copying a goal in slow motion. Standing ovation
