The man has a temporary cash flow problem, okay? 552 00:40:25,660 --> 00:40:28,880 This time next week, he's going to have ten times that, twenty times that. 553 00:41:07,340 --> 00:41:10,900 He says it is good. At the end of three quarters, ladies and gentlemen, it's the 554 00:41:10,900 --> 00:41:14,720 Florida Shark 16 and the California Pioneers 13. 555 00:41:21,800 --> 00:41:23,300 Anybody go near the blanket yet? 556 00:41:27,840 --> 00:41:28,840 Nobody's picked it up yet. 557 00:41:29,880 --> 00:41:30,880 How come? 558 00:41:31,560 --> 00:41:32,560 They'll pick it up. 559 00:41:33,040 --> 00:41:35,180 Nobody's going to leave 60 grand lying there. 560 00:41:36,840 --> 00:41:40,620 And now it's time to separate the men from the boys. The Pioneers are down 18 561 00:41:40,620 --> 00:41:44,080 13. There's only one timeout left and the scoreboard clock shows less than 30 562 00:41:44,080 --> 00:41:45,080 seconds to play. 563 00:41:45,700 --> 00:41:46,700 He's got the snap. 564 00:41:46,920 --> 00:41:50,380 He's called a cross play. He hands the ball off to fullback Warren. Warren 565 00:41:50,380 --> 00:41:53,280 supplies the Sharks. They're caught flat -footed. He's all the way up to the 35, 566 00:41:53,480 --> 00:41:54,940 to the 40. He's at midfield. 567 00:41:55,180 --> 00:41:56,760 He could possibly go all the way fast. 568 00:41:57,040 --> 00:42:00,200 He's down to the 40 -yard line of the Sharks. And now he makes it all the way 569 00:42:00,200 --> 00:42:03,440 the 30 moving along the sideline. He cuts back toward the interior of the 570 00:42:03,440 --> 00:42:04,440 and gets down to the 20. 571 00:42:25,840 --> 00:42:26,840 At least we're still ahead. 572 00:42:27,760 --> 00:42:28,760 For now. 573 00:42:29,540 --> 00:42:30,540 Don't worry. 574 00:42:30,740 --> 00:42:33,420 The first person who touches that case catches a bullet. 575 00:42:34,900 --> 00:42:38,540 Here it is, Wes. The whole season is on the line right now. Maybe the 576 00:42:38,540 --> 00:42:43,080 championship, too. If the Pioneers score, they win. If they don't, it's the 577 00:42:43,080 --> 00:42:44,720 Sharks at Salt Lake City next week. 578 00:42:45,380 --> 00:42:46,800 The man went to quarterback drill. 579 00:42:47,120 --> 00:42:49,880 Joe, come on over here. On the first set. Ready? 580 00:42:50,540 --> 00:42:54,100 About four seconds left to play in this dramatic contest, ladies and gentlemen. 581 00:43:37,100 --> 00:43:37,819 And you? 582 00:43:37,820 --> 00:43:39,720 What do you think the closed circuit rights are worth? About a million? 583 00:43:40,020 --> 00:43:41,020 Closer to two. 584 00:43:41,620 --> 00:43:43,640 Eh, well, maybe next time we'll lose, huh? 585 00:43:44,600 --> 00:43:45,600 Lady? 586 00:44:08,850 --> 00:44:11,850 Sure you guys want me to just leave it up there like that? Yeah, yeah, yeah. 587 00:44:11,890 --> 00:44:12,890 Trust me, okay? 588 00:44:13,090 --> 00:44:14,090 There you go. 589 00:44:28,810 --> 00:44:30,130 They gotta be out there somewhere. 590 00:44:32,690 --> 00:44:33,690 They'll pick it up. 591 00:44:34,550 --> 00:44:36,890 Yeah, I mean, you know, they gotta take it back to somebody, right? 592 00:44:38,090 --> 00:44:39,090 Right? Right. 593 00:45:06,600 --> 00:45:07,980 That's far enough, Mr. Emery. 594 00:45:25,720 --> 00:45:26,720 Come on, Emery. 595 00:45:27,460 --> 00:45:28,460 It's over. 596 00:45:32,200 --> 00:45:33,360 Come on, A .J., move! 597 00:46:30,380 --> 00:46:31,400 I think they got the message. 598 00:47:22,630 --> 00:47:24,670 Rick! That's enough! 599 00:47:32,370 --> 00:47:34,010 I wasn't gonna hurt him. 600 00:47:45,900 --> 00:47:49,220 Now, you guys want me to believe that none of this had anything at all to do 601 00:47:49,220 --> 00:47:51,260 with any of the football teams? Afraid not. 602 00:47:51,560 --> 00:47:53,000 Well, that doesn't make sense. 603 00:47:53,380 --> 00:47:54,380 Oh, sure it does. 604 00:47:54,480 --> 00:47:58,120 See, Carl Emery just wanted the Pioneers to lose so that when the Sharks played 605 00:47:58,120 --> 00:48:00,160 Salt Lake, they'd have to play the game in Salt Lake City. 606 00:48:00,500 --> 00:48:02,420 Where he owns all the cable television, right? 607 00:48:02,640 --> 00:48:05,780 And don't forget, a playoff game like that is worth a couple million dollars 608 00:48:05,780 --> 00:48:06,780 closed -circuit TV. 609 00:48:06,840 --> 00:48:10,640 Well, maybe even more than that. Remember, they charge ten bucks a house 610 00:48:11,540 --> 00:48:13,240 Dummy! Oh, I forgot! 611 00:48:13,580 --> 00:48:15,360 Forgot what? To call my bookie. 612 00:48:16,100 --> 00:48:18,080 I finally win a bet and I forget to collect. 613 00:48:19,600 --> 00:48:20,600 Hello, Louie? 614 00:48:21,100 --> 00:48:22,100 This is Myron. 615 00:48:23,720 --> 00:48:27,960 Now, Louie, I definitely don't want to take it out on trade. Now, yeah, I know 616 00:48:27,960 --> 00:48:29,120 country blues is a good horse. 617 00:48:30,600 --> 00:48:31,600 Four to one? 618 00:48:32,540 --> 00:48:35,700 Okay, Louie, I'll tell you what.
