I do.

我是這麼想的

I think it makes the league more interesting.

我認為這讓聯盟更加有趣。

I mean, think about what we're talking about right now because us things to talk about.

我的意思是，想想我們現在正在談論的事情，因為我們的事情要談。

It is fans things to speculate about and have fun with.

這是粉絲們的事情猜測和樂趣。

And I think changes of scenery are good and exciting for sports.

而且我覺得換個環境對運動來說是好事，也是刺激。

More than that, though, I think this was the inevitable byproduct off the fact that people love offense.

更多的是，雖然，我認為這是不可避免的副產品關閉的事實，人們喜歡進攻。

You know, why do I say that?

你知道，我為什麼這麼說嗎？

Because for years this is not how it was in the NFL, but because the fans want offense ratings go up with offense.

因為多年來，NFL不是這樣的，而是因為球迷希望進攻收視率隨著進攻而上升。

The rules changes consistently have been not only to protect the quarterback but to make his job easier to make it harder to cover the wideouts innovation on the offensive side, they realized the return on investment when you handed to a running back is more or less always the same, but when in the passing game it can increase.

規則的變化始終如一不僅是為了保護四分衛，而是為了讓他的工作變得更容易，讓他更難覆蓋外援創新在進攻方面，他們意識到當你交給一個跑衛時，投資回報率或多或少總是相同的，但當在傳球比賽中，它可以增加。

Michael Lewis, right with the blind side, points this out and so through the years.

邁克爾-劉易斯，就在盲目的一面，指出了這一點，所以通過多年。

Increasingly, the importance of the quarterback has increased to the point where if you're great, not if you're just anybody.

越來越多的人，對四分衛的重視程度已經提高到如果你很厲害，而不是如果你只是普通人。

But if you're great for the first time.

但如果你是第一次來，就很厲害。

And I think history, those players, by definition only, I don't know.

而我覺得歷史上，那些球員，只按定義，我不知道。

What is it, Stephen?

什麼事，斯蒂芬？

A.

A.

Five or six.

五六個。

It changes year to year 47 Whatever it is have now, it seems to me the power off MBA superstars because those players can affect the fortunes of your team the way eh?

它每年都會發生變化47不管現在有什麼，在我看來權力關MBA巨星，因為這些球員可以影響你的球隊命運的方式誒？

NBA stars can.

NBA球星可以。

And those players are looking at their at at the n b A and thinking yet that would be nice.

而那些球員在n b a處看著自己的在n b a處，想著然而那就好了。

So you're saying it's good playing?

所以你說這是好玩的？

Probably.

也許吧

It's good.

很好啊

I'm saying it's inevitable and good.

我說這是必然的，也是好事。

I don't think it's inevitable.

我不認為這是不可避免的。

Um, I like it.

嗯，我喜歡它。

I'm not.

我沒有

I'm not averse to it.

我並不反感。

Um, I would tell you that, uh, the more power the more power players gained, the better, But I will tell you is gonna be few and far between.

嗯，我會告訴你，呃，越多的權力，越多的權力的球員獲得，更好的，但我會告訴你是要去是少數和遠。

It's not the MBA, and it never will be.

它不是MBA，也永遠不會是。

And everybody needs to get over that, Um, the n b A.

每個人都需要克服這一點，嗯，N B A。

You got 450 plus players.

你有450多個玩家。

The National Football League.

國家足球聯盟。

You got in excess of 616 196 players when you take into account, Ah, 53 man roster.

你得到了超過616 196名球員 如果你考慮到，啊，53人名單。

And when you consider that along with a hard salary cap on how that governs the league, there's a limited amount of power than any player is going to get it.

而當你考慮到，隨著一個硬性的工資帽，如何管理聯盟，有一個有限的權力，比任何球員要得到它。

More importantly than that, I think that what you have to pay attention to is the reality, uh, that the actions of a few could ultimately affect the many.

比這更重要的是，我認為你要注意的是現實，呃，少數人的行為最終會影響到很多人。

You know, one of the things that I brought up on many, many occasions, Max.

你知道，我在很多場合都提到過的一件事，麥克斯。

Just so you know, years ago when LeBron James decided to take his talents to South Beach, what people What flew under the radar for years is what kind of problem it caused with the NBA owners and the players, because the kind of rules that they wanted to implement uh, you know, reducing Excuse me, the amount of basketball related income.

就像你知道的，幾年前當勒布朗-詹姆斯決定把他的天賦帶到南海灘時，人們所關注的是，多年來，NBA老闆和球員的問題，因為他們想實施的那種規則，呃，你知道，減少對不起，與籃球有關的收入金額。

You know all about that.

你都知道的。

You know, once upon a time it was 57% that the players had.

要知道，從前是57%的玩家有。

It's down to 50% you know, some owners wanted it is lowest 47%.

已經降到50%了你知道嗎，有的業主希望它是最低的47%。

This is why they were locking out the players and what have you?

這也是他們為什麼要鎖住玩傢什麼的原因？

Ah, lot of it had to do with LeBron James and how he elected toe handle his exit from Cleveland to South Beach.

啊，很多都和勒布朗-詹姆斯有關，以及他如何選擇處理他從克利夫蘭到南海灘的退出。

The Dan Gilbert of the world and others were behind the scenes, raising holy hell about player movement and things of that nature.

世界上的丹-吉爾伯特等人在幕後，對球員的動作等事情提出了聖旨。

So some of these rules that you've seen injected into the equation was a by product of them being so turned off by the manner in which he elected to handle it, which I think is the lone blemish on his illustrious career.

所以，你所看到的這些規則注入方程的一些規則，是他們被他選擇的處理方式所拒之門外的產物，我認為這是他輝煌的職業生涯中唯一的瑕疵。

We transition to the National Football League, and what we find is a situation where you've got a hard salary cap.

我們過渡到國足，我們發現的情況是，你的工資帽很硬。

You've got players that don't earn as much money as as as as MBA players, you've got the very few that are marketable stars in the National Football League because you wearing shoulder pads, helmets, your identity is disguised to some degree, and for the most part, the NFL is the one who chooses who should be marketed and who should have in most situations.

你有的球員賺的錢不如MBA球員多，你有的球員在國足聯盟是極少數的市場化明星，因為你戴著肩墊、頭盔，你的身份在一定程度上被掩蓋了，大多數情況下，NFL是選擇誰應該被市場化，誰應該在大多數情況下擁有。

And so when you're playing in the league like that and the only guarantee dollars you have is basically with your signing bonus and what have you.

所以當你在這樣的聯盟中打球，你唯一的保障金基本上就是用你的簽約獎金和什麼的。

There's a limited amount of power that you have and the few that exercise it Max, even though they could get away with it.

你擁有的力量是有限的，少數人行使它的最大限度，即使他們可以逃脫它。

You're just form and new ideas for the owners to come up to curtail you from gaining even more power.

你只是形式和新的想法，讓業主來遏制你獲得更多的權力。

And that becomes more of a priority during negotiations.

而在談判過程中，這一點就顯得更為重要。

And even though those few individual players could get away with it, the collective whole could end up suffering because of it.

而即使那幾個個體玩家可以逍遙法外，但集體的整體最終可能會是以而受到影響。

And I just think that it's something that we need to monitor.

我只是認為，這是我們需要監控的東西。

Moving forward.

前進。

We love the players getting more power, but don't think for one second it won't come without a stiff.

我們喜歡球員們獲得更多的權力，但不要以為一秒鐘都不會有硬傷。

Still real quick, real quick.

還是真快，真快。

Same thing in the MBA.

同樣的事情在MBA。

Yep, only a handful of players like our James Harden, who could get exactly what they want go where they want also get their guaranteed dollars.

是的，只有少數像我們的詹姆斯-哈登這樣的球員，可以完全得到他們想要的東西去他們想去的地方也能得到他們的保障金。

All that same thing in the NFL.

在NFL中也是如此。

If Dion Sanders was in his prime in the NFL right now, he could do it.

如果迪昂-桑德斯現在在NFL處於巔峰期，他可以做到。

A shutdown corner.

一個關閉的角落。

Aaron Donald.

亞倫-唐納德

Someone like that, and maybe five or six quarterbacks.

這樣的人，也許還有五六個四分衛。

Everyone else, you're right.

其他人，你是對的。

It's their different tiers of players and different influence.

是他們不同層級的玩家，影響力不同。

But the NFL is in a new day.

但NFL在新的一天。

That's what it looks like to me.

在我看來就是這樣。
