On the breakfast, the Central Bank of Nigeria has directed commercial banks to dispense and receive the old Naira notice legal tender across the country. But what effect will this have on the cash crunch being experienced all over Nigeria? Also on the breakfast, the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEG, has said the reconfiguration of the bimodal water registration system will be completed today in preparation for the March 18 governorship and state assembly elections. We'll look at some of the reactions that are trailing this action by the electoral umpire. And as usual, we'll be taking a look at what the national dailies are saying today. Bring your analysis of some of the headlines from pages of today's newspapers. All these ahead on the breakfast right here on PAS TV Africa. What a very good morning to you. It's another day of discussions and interesting analysis right here on PAS TV Africa. The breakfast is live. My name is Kofi Bartels. You're welcome. And I am Messi Bupo. It's good to be back on your screen. Good morning. Alright, lots to talk about today. I'm going to be looking again at the Biva situation and of course also looking at the latest as far as the Naira is concerned. Of course, we all know the breaking news from last night and with the central bank of Nigeria. So we have a buffer package and we implore viewers to sit down, relax and be a part of the conversation. We usually start things off with trending stories and of course we have something for you. Can we roll the tape? This is something that a lot of people have never seen before. Alright, there's nothing that a lot of people have never seen before. But it has to do with the Naira and also has to do with shredding. You know, when you have papers and you want to make waste of them. You don't want to just keep them, especially sensitive documents. You take them through shredder. Well, there was a dump site that was located of shredded Naira nodes, old Naira nodes. And it caused a lot of Nigerians on social media to express some frustration and anger when this dump site containing old shredded Naira nodes were found or was found. Let's listen to this and when we come back we'll give you more on the background and then we analyze it. Alright, so that's an interesting one. What happened there was some persons stumbled upon a dump site of shredded Naira nodes and was surprised and put it on video, went on social media and then shared it.  This is really sad. Mr. Skecity of Naira, you are wasting or throwing away a hard-earned money, if you want to call it that, money that we can use to buy stuff that can be given to the public. So that's that. And I mean, I'm just looking at it. I'm still thinking about it.  And I'm just wondering what's really the rationale behind all of that. I mean, is there no other way that we could probably have attended to that without having to shred it, just like you have mentioned. Now, if you also look at that, just yesterday you had the CBN giving that directive. It feels like everyone has been waiting. So what exactly now happens that, you know, all of this forms. And if you look at it the way the old Naira nodes, I saw a bit of 500 and 1000 and that's gone. So wouldn't there be or wouldn't we have had or those involved had other options rather than shredding, you know, the forms as they have done. And I'm just asking myself, what exactly could be the rationale behind all of that. So, but yeah, yeah, you know, my question on my mind will be, is that a private shredded dump node, Naira nodes or is this government shredded top note?  Why am I saying it's stupid because it's public information that you can take your Naira nodes despite the exploration of the old Naira nodes to any commercial bank or the central bank of Nigeria anytime. All right. And then it will be redeemed in the current currency according to electrolyte. So it's there. The central bank has made that known. The government has made it known. The lawyers who challenged the central bank said it before and the media has been discussing it. So it's not people have been taking their notes to the central bank videos all over the place. So I mean, I would like to believe that is not a personal stash of cash. So I said, Oh, no more Naira nodes. I could not be the deadline and they destroyed it. Now, second thing is you remember last month there was a viral video of some destroyed old Naira nodes. I don't know if you remember that and people were making a lot of noise about it. And then it was revealed that the central bank from time to time and withdraws mutilated, disfigured and old Naira nodes from the system and prints new one. They have a budget for this. And actually there are people who are giving contracts to dispose of the old nodes. That's their contract. They have that. They pay them to dispose of these old nodes. Central bank doesn't do it themselves. So I think people should not be alarmed. Nobody's money is being shredded. People's monies are safe. I think this is an official thing that it may be the dumb side of one of the contractors of the central bank who has had to dispose of old nodes before now. Okay. So I think there's nothing to be alarmed about, you know, in this situation. If the government says they're going to increase the central bank says they're going to increase the amount of liquid in circulation or amount of currency in circulation. They're going to increase it. There's nothing that stops them. If they say they're going to reduce it, they reduce it. There's nothing that stops them. But your money is intact. Okay. So I don't think this is a problem for me. I don't think this is a problem. Moving away from that, let's quickly take a look. Now, as we inch closer to the elections that was postponed, or if you like to say to the 18th of March, it was supposed to be on the 11th of March. Now, this weekend, all things being equal, that election would happen. The governorship elections and the state House of Assembly elections are in some state, not entirely, because they are some states that are not within that calendar. Now, a lot's been going on. Politicking has not ended. And so we have seen the state governor who has been really, really on the news, I mean, almost everywhere. Now, this one is quite interesting because he went to church. So let's take a quick look at this video where the governor of Lagos state went to church. Okay. So I'm being told that we don't have the tape to roll, but according to the reports and all that we saw, he visited two churches here in Lagos. And apart from the churches, there's been other places that has been visited. I mean, sometimes I see this picture or pictures and I begin to ask myself, could this be a photoshop or is this real? Yeah, yeah, messy. So you're absolutely right. The governor of Lagos state is a Christian. He goes to church. Okay. So I think we can see, can we listen to what? Okay, let's listen to this and then we'll come back for the analysis. I just got the, you know, I didn't know it was going to come, but it's a pleasure. Sometimes a government is also a government in Christ. Yes, it's also a government in Christ. Praise the Lord, hallelujah. Please, we may have our seats. All right, but the pastor said something which I'm hoping we can still air. You know, he said something which I'm hoping we can still air. What he said was about Governor Boajili Somolu, you're welcome to church. Great to have you here. He said as a pastor, I wasn't aware that the governor was coming to service and I was happy to have him. You know, he's a governor of the state. That's number two. He's a brother in Christ. So you're welcome. The first step we rolled, if we can do some silent rolling. Now, you see that the governor was doing a meet and greet at the church. Fantastic. We see the governor doing some meet and greet at the church. We can see that he's greeting the congregants. Mercy. Can you see the surprise on some of the faces out there? Some people coming out and being shocked. Oh, the governor is greeting us. Some persons say, ah, why is the governor so desperate? He's going out to greet church members, you know, look at how desperate he is. But you can see, passability, though, of harvests as international Christians. He must put a dozen out of the church. Okay. Also beside him. And I said to people yesterday, what if, you know, the governor was leaving and Pastor Boajili was... So, Pastor, please, I have to go and greet my members. This is what I do after every service. The governor said, oh, I'll come with you. Okay. Or what if the pastor said, oh, God, your accent is, can you come with me? I'm going to greet some members. I'm sure they'll like to meet you. You know, what about that? So people cannot sit down in their bedrooms and paint a story. Oh, the governor went and then started begging to greet people and wanted to... No, we don't know. You can see the pastor by his side. Kofi, see, you and I, I'm planning not to... Because from the way you're sounding, I'm almost laughing, but I don't want to laugh. It's not because, you know, I shouldn't laugh. You should prolong your life.  Let's not even try to make a fuse about this. The reason why we're even talking about this is because it's extraordinary.  So how many times, you know, has he been to church and or just visited any church within the past home years? Let's look at it before 2023. It's a question. And so that's the reason why everybody's talking about this. And if you walk in church very well or you understand how the church operates, there's a unit called the Meet and Greet Tango. You're the one who said it. These persons are usually outside to welcome people when they come to church and also greet them when they're out of church. And that's it. So I wouldn't really understand. Now, in a typical church setting, because I grew up in church and I understand the dynamics of church, especially the Pentecostal churches. Now, this is not to even say, oh, there's anything wrong with what he has done. But, you know, this is speaking to the fact that there's a lot.  That's been the pastor. I beg your pardon. Now, you hear me saying he's been the pastor. That's been the governor of Lagos State. I don't see where this is coming from. Now, usually in churches, the churches that I have seen, and, you know, the doctrine seemed to be like the practice if you have someone very prominent visiting the church.  They're not usually in company of people and then they, you know, zoom into your cars and they're out of it. So it's very, very difficult, including very prominent pastors that visit all the churches, you know, to have them stand and greet. How many times? What was the last time you saw that? So I don't think that if people are beginning to express concern and then they are beginning to wonder and saying, oh, this is an act. Apart from that, within the past few days, we have also seen, I'm asking if these pictures are real because I don't want to believe them. And not to say that it's not possible to happen because I have seen pictures of him making, you know, like in the salon, he's in the phone shop fixing the phone. He's in the car, you know, the mechanic stores is fixing what exactly is responsible for all of this gesture. Just as we inch closer to the election. So I'm not sure, but I'm being told that we have another table. Merci. We will go over to Zion, the Zion prayer movement outreach. Have you heard of them before? I haven't. The Zion prayer movement outreach is from what I gather, one of the churches, the church in Lagos, one of the largest Igbo dominated population. Let's take a look. Thank you very much, Zionists. People of God, thank you very much, thank you very much, thank you very much, thank you very much, thank you very much. Thank you, thank you. On behalf of the government of Lagos, I want to first thank God Almighty, the giver of life, the Lord yesterday, today and forever, the Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the one that was, that is, that will always be, the words of Sharon, the I am that I am, the King of King and the Lord of Lord, for bringing each and every one of you here today. And secondly, I want to thank the man of God, my very good friend and brother, the great evangelist, Zionist of our time, evangelist of her. I want to thank God for his life. I want to thank God for his ministry. I want to thank God for the friendship that he has showed to me. And I want to thank him that he has continued to put us in prayers. And I'm here to say things for myself. I've sent people here on two, three occasions and I know that indeed, the Zionist God is with you. God Almighty brings all of you here together. I want to thank you and I want to thank him. And I want to say that it is indeed an honor to have allowed me to come in here this afternoon and I can see the great work that is happening here. These are men, these are women that have chosen for God and miracle, this ministry will continue to grow from strength to strength. And the man of God is anointing will not diminish. Your prayer on him will not diminish. He will use him for greater and bigger things in this ministry and so shall it be. For us as a government, you know I'm your humble servant, I've come here to thank you, to say to you that I am a governor and I will work for all of you. That's a little prophecy there. Mercy, I wish we had the opportunity to see when he walked in through the ministry. Oh, we need to hear the song they were singing. They actually were singing some nice Akanshawa music, you know. Yes, and then the old people were dancing and then they switched it to a governor's name. Really? And then when he went in, it was so overwhelming, the love the governor was shown, the overwhelming support, you know, in love. And then they were singing his name and it was so, the governor could not help but had to dance. Oh, you know when they said David dance, you know the difference in David's dance sense and all those dance was that David took off his clothes. That's the only difference, but the governor really danced. You know, I saw some clips on some comments on Twitter. Someone took the governor dancing and then cut a part of where the crowd, you know, waving their hands. Just a second or two seconds or three seconds. And then she said, oh, that obedience were rejecting the governor, which was a blatant lie. The question is who went to put that video on Twitter? And then who put that caption that obedience in the church were rejecting the governor. And then they put their hands over it. In reality, they were actually dancing, waving their handkerchiefs. And then, sorry, Messi, another thing is people said, oh, he's going about to this church, this church is because it's election time. For crying out for God's sake, when is campaign time, what do politicians, do they sit at home? You know, when is campaign time, do politicians sit at home and drink tea? They call out to campaign. But interestingly, evangelist Ebu Khaobi of this Zion prayer network outreach, he said that someone has been participating in their services, in their program. So some years now. He sent his chief, he's a chief of staff for Secretary of State, Comments of the State. Sometimes he'll send a commissioner with a speech to come and read from him at their services when they invite him. So he's been going, having on good account that someone has been attending other churches. You know, programs for harvesters are here. He's been even inviting Pastor Bola Jidu to government house and all these things. Can we talk about House on the Rock? He's been going, Pastor's acquisition. He was there. The experience, he was there. The only reason someone didn't go for the last experience is because his commissioner, after Ensaas in 2021, went to House on the Rock and was booed and probably had it, he was advised, okay, stay away from, but the government of Lagos, they still gave a speech at the experience. So it will be unfair to say Samoulu is only going to church, only because his campaign, we've not been seeing him before. Of course, he's going for campaign. But the truth is that, just to buttress my point, the truth is that he has been going to churches before now. Where he has been going to churches is when he is invited to go to church. And that's on a different, I don't think that... So you say he's been going to church. It's not that you were there, and you saw when he went to these churches. Well, if you see, it's just very normal. What did you say? Should I show you? Coffee, coffee. The internet is free. Coffee, just like we're making your point. Usually in churches, it's just very normal that, in church service, especially in the Pentacles, so church and other churches, it's okay to have you. I'm sure that you probably would have been invited as a guest to honor some church denomination and gathering. And which is... No, wait, wait. I'm trying to put a point here. That, yes, he's been honoring invitation because he's a public figure.  It's not that, in some of these gatherings and experiences or congregation, it's not that these persons voluntarily show up like every other regular person does. In most cases, they are usually on the list of invitations. I mean, you're usually invited as guests.  And it's okay, just like you have said, that people politic, politicians politic when there's a period of politicking. And so that's exactly what's going on. So I just think that it's okay for the people to express their concern. It's a wonder. And my grandmother would say, it's an American wonder. And you said it's not okay for people to express. No, I'm just saying that if people are saying, oh, he's actually going there because of the election, isn't it? You have also said that, you know, during campaign and politic, politicians campaign and politic. And so if the people are saying, oh, he's going to church now, we're seeing him visiting church. And did you hear what the pastor, pastor Bolaji said? And unfortunately, we're able to play that tip where you also recounted some of the things that he said. He said, I didn't know he was coming. So no, but it was a different thing when he went to Zion church. Apparently they knew he was coming and he wouldn't have been a coincident when they started singing his song. Yeah. Interesting point. Interesting point for me. I really do not have any problem. But whether you were invited, mercy, sorry, whether you were invited or whether you were not, you know, the fact, the point I'm making is this, that there are arguments out there. Some people are saying, oh, it's only because it's campaign that's why he's going to church. But he's desperate. He seems to be greeting people, shaking their hands. Then the first thing I said, we don't know how that meeting occurred, whether he was dragged there by the pastor, whether the pastor was going to do his thing. So please, I would join you. And then it just happened to be a spur of the moment thing. Conjunction. Not, I want to greet your people so I can check down the campaign. No, he actually gave a speech in the church. That's number two. And the narrative that he does not attend church functions or he's not been going to churches before now. It's debunked. Whether he was invited or whether he went to, what I'm saying is he's been going before now. Thirdly, some of these people who are criticizing Sa'ulah for going, the candidate that they support has been going to churches left, right, and center. And nobody complained about it. So, what is the hula-baloo about? You know, what is the hula-baloo? Hula-baloo about, sorry. I mean, before this, all the time, you remember that when I was like, as a person, and I really, I think that the reason we're talking about this is because it's unusual. We get to talk about what is unusual. That's what news is about. That's what top trending is about. Now, and it's top trending because this is actually what we've not seen in a very long time. How many governors have you seen? It's trending because people are talking about it. No, yes, because they haven't seen this kind of wonder. And my grandmother would say it's an American wonder. She says it's American wonder. When we see governors, I have been, Kofi, you know how these things actually work. And I don't think that anybody should lose sleep over this. We already understand that politicking, people would take any strategy, any kind of form. So how about, okay, let's even move away from the church that we saw and all of that and the statement that he gave, until he was even praying, he was so spiritual. Okay, where was Professor? Oh, he said, yeah, exactly. You know, and it was, it was interesting, you know, and there's nothing wrong with that. Election period is where you see politicians preaching. My mother's one time goes to like, Bobby was, he started preaching. I was like, my God, you know, but we have to, we have to. And these messages are very powerful messages. I'm telling you. These professors are very powerful, you know. Okay, we have to go. But we need to go. Yeah, the best shops and the upper building of the old Savanna bank. You remember Savanna Bank?  Oh, man. Okay. The old Savanna Bank at a single market in Kanu, according to the Public Relations Office of the Fire Service, you know, they inferno started at about 2.18 a.m. These things started fairly. You know, when nobody is a weak and they received the distress call at midnight. that there was a fire outbreak at the market, which is in Fagi, local government area of Canberra State, remember? Professor Fagi, who comes on the program. I don't know if that is his local government. So they said that they send their personnel to the scene of the incident at about 2.22 a.m. to put up the fire, so as not to affect other shops. So that's that. Let me see, we just add to this, the oil mill markets in Portugal also experienced a fire yesterday, and that also started at night or at dawn when no one was in the market. So these market fires are back. And really, Kofi, just like every other time we lend a voice to fire incident across the country, whether it happens in Lagos or Kano or Buja were writers, it's almost one and the same thing. And I'm hoping that in 2023 we'll build on, all hands would be on deck. We would take responsibility. Now as for firefighting or the firefighters, we have them across the 36 states of the Federation. I'm sure that also with the FCT, but there's always a challenge as to whether we have the resources to fight this fire. Apart from having a firefighting station and what have you an agency of government, are we also leaving up to the expectation of educating the people? Are we also looking out for making provisions to ensure that those who are caught in the issue, I mean, because most fire incidents are not just, you know, accidents. You have cases of arson and what have you. And so what are we doing in terms of education? So it's okay to say, hey, we have a responsibility to fight fire. Well, it's also your responsibility as a fire agency to ensure that the fire doesn't happen in the first instance. And that's what we talk about, education and awareness. You know, whatever means that we have to reach out to the people, constantly creating awareness, especially in our markets. Now if you also look at the kind of structures that we have over time, for the lack of planning and structures, you find out that you have a cluster of structures. I mean, everywhere seemed to be very clumsy and that's also an issue. So if we grow big on it, this is not a situation. This is not a phenomenon that we should leave to the hands of government alone. All hands should be on deck. Everyone should be concerned. And I think by this we're going to have, at this point in time, I'm looking at our markets across, we ought to have fire stations in the market where we are able to take care of the fire, take off the fire whenever there's an incident of fire, set up all of the alarms, the structure, have security and all of that. But we can't continue like this because government's responsibility is to ensure that lives and properties are protected. And that's very encompassing. It cuts across everything. So every other time you have a fire incident wherever it is in the world, not in the world necessarily, but in Nigeria, you find out that persons will lose properties.  And that's not nothing to write home about. But our hearts and our prayers are with those who have lost their properties and those who have also sustained injuries. We're also asking that we need to wake up and be very deliberate about fighting fire in Nigeria. We need to move and that's the size of- Let's say, hold on, before you go, just to what we normally do, which is, I'll just give a little take. My take on that is that today's your birthday. And there's no fire here. Yeah, today's your birthday. So, mercy, happy birthday. Thank you. We wish you all the best. Midap returns. And then, we don't have a cake on set. Okay, that's fine. But we will do the cutting of cake after now. So I'm gonna sing for you. Happy birthday to you. Okay. Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday dear. Okay, I can hear the background. Happy birthday to you. Thank you, thank you. How old are you? We have to go. We need to go. This is wincing because of that. All right, two of you write back. When we come back, we have a look at what the papers say today. Please stay with us.


Welcome to the Original Gangster's podcast. I'm your host, Scott Bernstein. We're going to do a edition talking about some breaking news in the NCAA related to a potential point shaving scandal that's starting to break now. And we're going to do our first episode that I'm going to call a producer episode with my main man, Benny Augusta, our producer, MVP that's really helped us turn the corner and get us into the 21st century and get all of our multimedia kind of firing at once. So Benny's going to jump on this episode with me and we're going to kind of chop up a little bit of what's going on right now and then just give a little bit of context with some past point shaving scandals that I have either written about or studied. I'm going to kind of focus on two of them after we talk about what's going on this very second. So over the last week, it's come out that the NCAA and the FBI are investigating the Temple Owls men's basketball program for four separate games played over the last month. I believe the first game was February 8th. We're now a second week of March. So over the last five weeks, four games with peculiar activity related to the point spread and it jumping up and down before the game, before those four respective games. We're not going to get into any speculation of where the root of that is just to say that there seems to be a point shaving scandal bubbling to the surface right now. So I'll just give you a couple of details. First game on February 8th was against Memphis. The Tigers went from 6.5 point favorites, four hours before the game. And when the game tipped off, the number had jumped four points to 10.5. Second game was on February 28th. It was against Rice. It was according to what's being investigated. It was an over under shave. And I guess the total number went from 145 to 140 in the 24 hours before tip. March 2nd was against Tulsa. The number went from 144 to 136. That's an eight point jump in a two hour span. That's crazy. Yeah. And then the one that got everybody's attention last week, which I think kind of blew the lid on this, was a game against UAB where the line spiked like seven points in 10 hours. And it was 172. 172. I believe Temple won that game. Actually, UAB won. UAB won. All right. Sorry. But Temple is not having a season where they're going to be doing any post season dancing. But the NCAA and the FBI are looking at those four games. So I think betting that we're talking off air, I don't think it takes a rocket scientist to know if you know anything about point spreads and betting. If a line in a week moves two or three points, it's a big move. I mean, that's a big, big move. If a line's moving five, six, seven, eight points in a couple hours or a day, it's like a foghorn to the FBI to come look at us for shaving points or the NCAA. But here's my question, Scott. Why would the gambling companies know they were shaving? Well, this was reported by, I believe, a sports book in Las Vegas. They were getting inside information. Well, they were just getting a lot of action on game. They shouldn't be getting a lot of action on. Oh, God, it got UAB Temple game in March should not be getting a lot of action. I get it. I get it. I get it. The line jumped naturally by the amount of bets coming in. Yeah, there shouldn't be a lot of interest in a game like that. It's not. We're not talking about Duke, Duke, North Carolina and the ACC championship. Yeah. So, you know, you focus a lot of attention on games that normally wouldn't draw any interest and all of a sudden there's all this betting money coming into it. Do they have reports on the dollar amount put on that game or no? No, this is all this is all starting just just starting to be reported over the last couple of days. So we'll learn more as it goes on. I just whenever these people get whenever these kind of things happen, it seems like they happen every well, I actually think they happen quite a bit. I wouldn't be shocked that they're happening every single day across the college and pro sports. I think there are points being manipulated every day, but that's a different we can go down that rabbit hole on it on a different time. But at least these big public point shaving scandals seem to happen every 20 years or so every decade, decade and a half. I'm thinking of just because my expertise is in organized crime. So I'm thinking of the past point shaving scandals that were involved in organized crime. The two that I've studied and reported on are the Goodfellas movie Boston College point shaving from 78 79 that was kind of referenced in the movie. But then if you read the book, there's more information on it. And then that's actually what ended up taking all those guys down. It wasn't really any of the murders or the Jimmy Burke, you know, the Robert DeNiro character like he wasn't arrested for Lufonza or killing any of those people he was arrested and put in jail for the rest of his life because of the Boston College point shaving for the rest of his life just for point shaving. Well, I mean, he was well, I mean, I think he only lived another 15 years or whatever. But and he was like an habitual. So he was but it was not Lufonza or any homicides. It was this and we can talk about it in a second. And then Arizona State in 1994, 30 years ago, around this time, there was a four game point shave involving a on campus bookie at Arizona State and the Chicago mafia. And then just one that never really kind of died on the vine in terms of an investigation. But there were a lot of rumors and people looking into it was the I think it was even 1999 2000 ish UCLA football, Kate McNown was the quarterback. And these were just, you know, let's be very clear, these were just allegations. But a lot of those UCLA players that that was a top 10 UCLA team, I'm pretty sure to Kate McNown was the first round quarterback went to Chicago started for a year or two. But they were seen in the presence of guys that should have been connected to the Colombo crime family. And then I also think of the human LV guys with talk the shark Larry Johnson, Stacy Ogman, Greg Anthony, Anderson Hunt, the end of the shark to talk, sorry, talk the shark college career at least was too many guys that were from the movie Goodfellas and that Boston college point shade hanging around that UNLV program when they were the number one team in the country and defending national champions. But they never were they were never nobody was ever charged. Tarkhanian ended up stepping down because of it. He had been I thought they got in trouble for paying players. Well, it was a both both. So Tarkhanian was somebody for people that might not know, you know, he was a legendary college basketball coach that was a bit of a renegade, a very colorful character coach at UNLV Fresno State had a second in the NBA. And coach had a moist towel.  Yeah, right. And he always was like heavy with the quips with the media. And as players swore by him, he was the type of guy that would give everybody a second, third, fourth, fifth chance. He was known for taking in a lot of, you know, kind of kids with troubled pasts and reclamation projects at both UNLV and Fresno State. But he was always hounded by NCAA investigators and dating back to the 70s, they were always trying to get them. And he reached the apex of his career with that Larry Johnson, Stacey Augman, national championship team in 90. They came back in 91. Probably, I say this unequivocally, they were the greatest college basketball team to never win a national championship that 91 team, even though the 90 team did. But that 91 team, I was 12, 13 years old, that was the most dominant college basketball team I have ever seen until the last game of the season against Duke where they lost in the national championship, Grand Hill and Christian Leitner. But that whole year, NCAA, FBI were all over that program because of guys that were connected to Henry Hill and Jimmy Burke and the Vario crew that you see in Goodfellas, specifically a guy named Richie Perry. Richie, his nickname was Richie the Fixer. And he had season tickets to the UNLV games, you know, was, was seen talking to Tarcanian on the sidelines, would have the players over to his mansion. A bunch of kind of famous pictures came out of them being in his hot tub. That's what eventually brought an end to Tarcanian's career coaching college basketball. At that time, I should say, with, with UNLV, he went to the NBA, and then eventually came back with Fresno State and coached like Chris Herron and skipped to my Lou, Rayford Austin from the, from the and one league. But last thing I'll say about that, even though there were never any charges, I know that there were surveillance units assigned to some of those UNLV players, I'm not going to name the players, that were seen in the days after the loss to Duke with Richie Perry at Atlantic City Casinos, cashing in betting slips. Again, no charges were ever brought. So you're saying there's a chance that that national championship game at night, or was it the final four, was it the final? Oh, you're right. I think it was. I think you're right. I think it was the semi-final, and then they, they beat, Duke beat them in the semi-final and then beat Kansas in the final. I'm pretty sure you're right. It was a semi-final game. And it was, I think it was their first deficit of the year, and they didn't know what to do on that final play. Larry Johnson, I can remember it. Larry Johnson like drove to the basket, didn't take the shot, pushed it through it back out. Guy missed the jumper, but it was like a very like helter-skelter final play that didn't look like they knew what they were doing or maybe didn't want to know what they were doing. I don't know. I'm not, I don't want to get into conspiracy theories, but I know that that was investigated. There's the famous CCN, I don't know anything about it, but there's that famous CCNY point shaving scandal in New York from the 50s. There's the scene in the Sopranos, remember, when Carmine Lupitazzi dies and they call over to Junior's house and Bobby Bacala answers the phone and tells Junior that Carmine died and then Bobby Bacala says, I heard he invented point shaving. And then Junior says, CCNY point shaving scandal. I bought myself a new Cadillac. That's all I know about that scandal. Just jumping into Arizona State for a second. That was the Chicago mob. It was a Jewish kid from Brooklyn who came to Arizona State, guy named Benny Silman, was booking bets on campus. I think when he was a freshman or a sophomore, he met an older guy that was also booking bets. His name was Joe Gagliano and he was connected to the Chicago mob where his dad and his uncles were. Gagliano moves home, whatever he was doing in Chicago. Silman is like a senior at this point and gets the best player on the team or the, I should say, gets the two best players on the team in his pocket. Guy named Heddyk Smith and Isaac Burton. Heddyk Smith was going to be a first round NBA graphic. He was the number one scorer in the pack. Back then it was the pack 10. 93, 94, I think, both years. And Heddyk Smith was betting through Silman, got in debt like 10K. Silman had the idea, let's shave it to eliminate your debt. And at that point, I believe they were shaving wins, I think, where the players didn't have to lose the game. They didn't even have to lose the point spread. They just had to be sure that the point spread was covered. So they could do the mental gymnastics and they're having to convince themselves, oh, we're not really, we're not losing for our team. We're not, we're still winning, but we're just making sure that the point spread is at a certain point. One of those games, I believe, Heddyk scored 40 points. So Silman gets on the phone to his old pal Gagliano in Chicago and says, this is probably, the story I'm about to tell, this is probably in terms of money, the biggest point shaven, or at least what we know of, biggest monetary point shaven in NCAA history. And this was 30 years ago, 94. It was four games, and they were bringing like a million dollars to Vegas for every game to spread it around, five million.  And they would go to 30, 40 different sports books in Nevada. So Silman calls Gagliano. Gagliano at that time was a kid too. I mean, I think it was like 24, 23, 24. But the guys behind Gagliano are the Manjia Mellies, who were Cicero, Elwood Park, Chicago Outfit Guys, into the trucking and trucking business, but still serious guys. I mean, these were like real mob guys, not college bookie tough guys. Associates or made? No, the Manjia Mellies, I believe, were made guys, or at the very least high ranking associates. Gagliano, I'm not exactly sure how he's connected to the Chicago mob Gaglianos, but I'm pretty sure he's related son, grandson, nephew, cousin, Joe Gagliano, who was a pretty legendary guy in the 50s and 60s and 70s, and then Gary Gagliano is around right now. So first two games, go well, everyone wins money. Third game, everyone wins money. And then they're like, all right, we're going all in now, like we've already tested the waters. So now we're, I don't know what the number was, but they are already we're betting like millions. So I'm guessing this was like tens of millions. And word got out, just like what we're talking about at Temple right now, where a meaningless Arizona State, Washington Huskies, packed 10 game on a, you know, Saturday afternoon, that should have limited betting numbers is like everybody in their brother is trekking from Arizona State to Vegas to make these bets. You have like the whole campus is aware of this point change going on. And the point spreads jumped like nine points. It was the biggest jump in like the history of Vegas college basketball betting. And that stepped off the feds, the feds, and then the feds went into the locker room at halftime. That's pretty dramatic, right? Could you imagine? Well, the coach halftime speech. Yeah. Oh, by the way, the feds want to talk to you. And the coach at that time was Bill Frieder. Us, me and Betty being from Detroit, you know, Bill Frieder as a Michigan guy, started his career as a pretty successful high school basketball coach in Flint, won a couple of state championships, went, became an assistant coach at Michigan, and then became the head coach at Michigan for most of the 1980s, had some very good Michigan basketball teams, the back to back big 10 champions 85, 86. I believe they entered both of those NCAA tournaments as one seeds. And in both of those tournaments, they got upset before the sweet 1687. They made the sweet 16 lost to North Carolina, or maybe it was 88. Either way, 89 season, the year they win the national title, you know, six NBA players on that roster. Glenn Rice, Terry Mills, Leibot, Ramil Robinson.  About Frieder takes it takes the Arizona State job, like a day or two before the NCAA tournament. And Michigan is like a six seed, even though they got six NBA players on the team, they had underachieved that whole year. And he announces, like either it was either right before selection Sunday or right after selection Sunday. He announces that he's going to take the Arizona State job back of the season. But I'm going to coach the tournament.  Like it was pretty controversial at the time. And then they Steve Fisher, they elevated Steve Fisher, who was the assistant. And Steve Fisher goes from nobody knows who this guy is. Even the Michigan fans, I don't think knew who the guy was. And two weeks or three weeks later, he's he's winning your was that their first national channel? It might have been their first national championship. I believe in basketball. I know they went to the finals a couple of times in the 50s and 50s. I think that's their one and only championship in basketball. But that was because Frider left to go to Arizona State. So five years after that, he's got this Arizona State team who was a, I think they were a good team. I mean, they weren't great, but they were like NCAA tournament caliber. Headache Smith was a all conference, one of the best players in the league. And this guy threw away his entire pro career for probably $40, $30, $40,000. I guess you it's different.  But you know, he probably was struggling. He was probably struggling. And that, you know, $30, $40,000 is a lot of money for a kid who probably came from nothing. I came from Dallas and back then there were no NILs or yeah, no NILs couldn't get paid couldn't even sell you autograph. Somebody comes up to you and says, Hey, you want to make some cash? Well, he needed to he needed to erase his debt because he he obviously was, which is the was he betting on games or is he just gambling? No, now he wasn't betting on Arizona State basketball. I get it. From what I can remember, he was a big Dallas. He was from Dallas and he was a big Cowboys fan. And I think he was betting big on Cowboys games, but like betting like prop bets, like betting the game, but then also betting the over betting, like how many touchdowns to throw or whatever. And he accumulated a 10k debt, which is a lot of money now. A lot of money 30 years ago.   So there's all this money riding on this game for these guys to shave it. And they got so spooked by the feds coming in in the locker room, they abandoned that plan, play it straight. But then all these mob guys had lost a lot of money. And that's when the whole thing blew up. Benny Silman got arrested. He ended up in four years in prison for that. The mob guys themselves actually did not get that much time. Like less than a year, I think those mob guys were able to crowd themselves in their plea. There was another like Phoenix kind of wannabe gangster that had heard about it, the point shaving like just showed up at Benny Silman's apartment and just said like, yeah, I heard that you and the mob are shaving points. Guess what? I'm your new partner. And then he ended up dead afterwards too, but it was ruled an overdose. Who knows? So that was Arizona. There's been a content produced on it, scripted content and unscripted content. There's a ESPN movie in the late 90s early 2000s. I forgot what it was called. I think David Krumholz was the lead. And then there's like a untold Netflix. So Bactic Temple. Do you think the suspects will be charged? And if so, how many years? There's a lot to unpack here and a lot to kind of figure out what's happening. I'm working sources in the college basketball world. I have other people working sources for me. I think we'll know more in the next week or two.  I mean, that's so far down the line. I'm not even going to speculate. I mean, this could just be guys on their own doing it. It could be guys, bookmakers at Temple that have no, like Benny Silman could have, in theory, Benny Silman could have shaved those points without calling Chicago. Yeah. And it could have just been this student is having this athlete shaved point. So we don't know that in terms of what kind of sentences you're looking for. Yeah, that's just curious.  And then if there are people that are like puppeteering this thing, how willing are you to point the finger at those guys or women or whoever? I think things got way more intense back in the 78, 79 Boston College point shave because you had all due respect to the Manjia Mellies in Chicago and at that time, 24 year old Joe Gagliano, but they were serious. But when you're dealing with Jimmy Burke, it's a whole different galaxy of seriousness and stakes. And that was a whole season point shave. This one was four games. The ones that being investigated right now is four games. The Arizona State one we just talked about was four games. The Boston College one was like 15 games over a 30 game season. Do you know how many players were involved? So there's always been a lot of debate about that. There was a Sports Illustrated article that came out maybe five years after that caused a lot of acrimony and people that were allegedly defamed, allegations that they were involved in it, they're claiming that that was never proven. So it's kind of, there was, I think two guys that we know for sure were involved in it. And then there were another two or three guys that were suspected to be involved in it and were implicated in the Sports Illustrated article and it really hurt their lives and their ability to make money. I don't think any of them were in the NBA, but they were like playing in Europe or whatever. So if you remember in Goodfellas, there's all that talk about the Pittsburgh connection that he meets in prison. Well, that's where this came from. Not only was he dealing drugs and coke with those Pittsburgh guys who were mob guys that were tied to Chuck E. Porter. It doesn't sound like an Italian name, but Chuck E. Porter was the underboss of Pittsburgh. And there were a couple guys that were low-level mob guys that Henry Hill had met and they knew a guy from their neighborhood who was like the starting forward on Boston College. His name was Rick Coon, Q. So that was their kind of entry point. And then he got the senior captain. I think his name was Jim Sweeney. And it reached a point where like they were being threatened. Like I don't think headaches, I shouldn't say I know, headache Smith and Isaac Burton weren't getting phone calls or visits from killers telling them that they better do X, Y and Z or they're going to be in the hospital. But Boston College was a different story. Those guys were sometimes being a little uncommitted, I guess would be the word to the shave while it was going on. And some of the mob guys felt like these guys weren't 100% invested in it. And I think in one situation they came with a group of them and sat behind the basket where you're shooting free throws. And like to show Sweeney like you better be in on this. We can touch you. Yeah. And I think Sweeney said that I don't know if it was Jimmy or Henry said to him like, if you don't do this, like we're going to break your legs. There'll be no more basketball for you. So that was a year long shave that nobody knew about for two years until Henry Hill flipped. And it's interesting how that whole Goodfellas bus came to be. You see it, remember at the end of the movie or near the end of the movie, he's going to take the babysitter to go get her hat. He's like, I thought the feds were following me when in reality it was just the local cops. The only local cops talk like that.   That scene. Well, Henry Hill got busted on a local drug case, a county drug case where he had an 18 year old kid moving coke and pills and marijuana for him and the 18 year old kid flipped. And his dad was a member of the Henry Hill Jimmy Burke group. And if you remember in the movie, the last time Henry sees Jimmy, they're at a diner and he asked Jimmy to go kill. That was the kid who they eventually did kill. This 18 year old kid gets killed like a month or something after Henry Hill flips. And then Henry Hill gives them Boston College, not realizing that it's even a crime. At least if you believe Henry Hill, he was saying, I didn't even realize this was illegal. And then that brings Jimmy Burke down.  How much time was Henry Hill looking at? Or did they know he was? Oh, that what Hill was looking at life for all that other stuff. Okay, so the feds tied it. I think he was debriefing like he would debrief.  And I think he mentioned this kind of like, Oh, by the way, we did this, not realizing that it was like a big deal. And the guy that he was debriefing for at McDonald had played basketball at Boston College. So he was like, very, you know, his ears perked up when he saw that. And he knew that it was a way to get Burke. So yeah, it was in addition to all the murders and drugs and thefts and racketeering that that Henry admitted to when they popped him. And if you remember, he rightly so we flipped because he knew or thought that the Vario crew and Jimmy Burke, we're going to kill him. What do you think, Benny? Do you think Karen, if she would have gone back into that alleyway, which you've made it made her way back to Henry? I don't think so. I don't need at least how they portrayed it out of the director portrayed out square stage, portrayed it. Oh, just around the core. I don't think she makes it out. Another piece of trivia I always like to tell people that most people don't know is that Karen was sleeping with Paulie in the movie, not in the movie in real life. So Karen wasn't necessarily all well, there's the scene with with the debriefers. Don't give me the babe in the woods routine, Karen. I heard you on those wire deaths. You're talking about cocaine. Yeah. But besides that, she was, you know, they obviously the character, they didn't want to make the character out to be, you know, slutty or promiscuous. But in reality, that was going on. Henry Hill's wife was sleeping with his boss. So another thing was that even if Jimmy or Tommy wanted to hurt Karen, I don't think they could have. Unless I'm misreading it and Paulie would have had her killed too. I mean, it's very possible. So I guess we'll just keep people updated on what's going on in Philly with Temple. You know, it's a pretty, that program's got a lot of, you know, tradition, John Cheney. I remember those temple teams in the 80s and 90s were always top 15 squads. A couple of them got to, I think the elite eight, never made it to the final four, but wasn't Bill Cosby a huge temple fan? Yeah. Yes. He played football at temple. Oh, yeah. I forgot about that. Yeah. And did he make like a wager with? The curse of Bill Cosby is coming back on the temple house. Who knows? We'll see. Benny, thanks for joining me. Thanks for being a sounding board. Listen to me ramble and give out random facts and spew useless information. No, this was good. But they will keep everybody updated on what's going on. But those point-shave shifts over the last couple of weeks were just screaming out to be looked at. And now they're being looked at. So we'll see. Thank you, Benny. Thanks, everyone. Check back for another long form or quick edition of the OG pod only here at OG pod. I'm Scott Bernstein.


Hey everybody, welcome back to your week in geekdom, Geo here and today we're going over the nominees for that famous anime popularity contest or rather I should say the Crunchyroll Anime Awards for 2022. Obviously people are divided with this, a lot of people don't like the categories or the nominees and I can see that and I agree for the most part, they're pretty spot on. As you can see here at the time of recording this video, vote now until January 25, vote daily. A lot of categories, anime of the year, best boy, best girl, best protagonist, best antagonist, best fight scene, best director, best animation, best character design, best score, vocal performance in the original Japanese and English dubbing, and English dubbing, best opening sequence, best ending sequence, best action, comedy, drama, romance, fantasy, and best film. We're going to start with best film and you know lead up to the big one like the anime of the year of course of 2021. Okay so for best film, the nominees are Belle which just came out theatrically in the US. Unfortunately I have not seen it yet. I'm probably going to wait for a whole media release unless somebody decides to stream it or you can rent it early digitally or something like that but if not I'm just going to wait for a Blu-ray release. Demon Slayer, Mugen Train, the movie, Shido Bako the movie, Evangelion 3.0 plus 1.0 thrice upon a time or also known as the final rebuild of Evangelion movie, Josie the tiger and the fish and words bubble up like soda pop. Now from what I remember, Evangelion you can watch on Amazon Prime, Josie the tiger and the fish did have a theatrical release but it's not streaming. It comes out in February if I remember correctly. Words bubble up like soda pop I think you can watch on Netflix, I don't know about Shido Bako and Mugen Train you can watch it anywhere at this point. It's out on Blu-ray, it's out on Crunchyroll and Funimation and etc. The only one I haven't seen from this batch as of this episode unfortunately I have not seen Shido Bako, Bell and Evangelion. I've been holding up to watch that I wanted to do a marathon of the whole series and then my rebuild Ava Blu-rays and then watch the new movie so I might still do that I might not I might just go ahead and watch even going to the movie so that said in good conscience I can't vote for it because I technically haven't seen it and I've heard wonderful things from people and I've also heard people complain about the film so I can't pick that. I haven't seen Bell, words bubble up like soda pop it was alright it was fun I like the color palette for that one. Demon Slayer Mugen Train was good but I am going to have to go with Josie the Tiger and the fish. So let's do that confirm that's my pick for best film out of that. Although I suspect even Galion would win. Best fantasy series now this is interesting a lot of people are complaining because there are a bunch of series that missed out on being nominated and stuff that's not airing on Crunchyroll like Mochiko Tensei for example but hey at least it's here on the best fantasy section you know whatever. So we have Mochiko Tensei jobless reincarnation that time I got reincarnated as a slime season two to your eternity ranking of kings the case study of Vanita's Wonder Egg priority. Wonder Egg is a gorgeous looking series but I cannot vote for it because I think that ending was not that great it did not stick the landing in my opinion. The case study of Vanita's was not my thing but it looks great from bones. Ranking of Kings is one of my favorite shows of last year so I'm partial to this one to your eternity again one of my top five shows of last year that time I got reincarnated as a slime a lot of fun and Mochiko Tensei one of my favorite shows from last year so this one's a little bit tough. I know Mochiko Tensei is not nominated for anime of the year but I'm inclined to give it to your eternity honestly or Mochiko Tensei ranking of Kings is up there with the best show of this animated series so we'll go over that in a second but fantasy series I got to give it to your eternity or Mochiko Tensei the animation from Studio Bind just stellar a beautiful series and to your eternity just a beautiful series with right with emotion and character work and just a beautiful journey of this character of Fushi the immortal going through life and experiencing the lives of other people and all that stuff just a great series overall and the manga is one of my all-time favorite ongoing manga at the moment. Oh that's a tough one I think I'm going to give it to you to your eternity even though I really like Mochiko Tensei and Roxy is one of my favorite characters so I'm gonna go with that and I represent my boy Fushi best romance this is a no-brainer Comey can't communicate was cute beautifully animated don't toy with me Miss Nagatouro is surprising we wholesome I really enjoyed that series Beastars I love Beastars but I am not a fan of the anime that animation style the Duke of Death and it's made the same deal Horimia was great a lot of character progression with all the couples and the romance and all that stuff you gotta go with fruits basket the final season that thing was just beautiful all around that's my pick best drama 86 fruits basket odd taxi wonder egg priority to your eternity kageki shoujo this is a tough one odd taxis phenomenal one of my favorites wonder egg we already talked about that fruits basket I'm not gonna repeat another series for another category so I'm gonna skip it for best drama and I already voted for tier to your eternity I am going to I'm gonna pick 86 on that one great drama slash mech slash war whatever type show best comedy Comey can't communicate don't toy with me Miss Nagatouro Miss Kobayashi's dragon made life lessons with Uramichi Onisan heaven's design team really underrated series right there and odd taxi I don't really consider odd taxi a comedy and why is it nominated for drama and comedy okay I'm gonna go with Miss Kobayashi's dragon made s I gotta represent my favorite dragons so that's my pick for best comedy best action action series or like best action sequences and wise did you two I mean did you two guys and yes it did technically finish airing in 2021 but it was already nominated for 2020 stuff I don't I don't know about that VV Flora Flora it's I song wonder egg priority again that although the animation and action sequences were spectacular from Cloverworks Moog and train arc the TV version no thank you attack on Titan season final season part one honestly best action for me would be best action sequences I'm gonna give it to wonder egg even though I don't like the ending for it but it's just a beautifully drawn show yeah I'm not gonna vote for jujutsu guys in sorry but it's a great manga and a great anime but no these are my picks so yeah okay so next up we have the best ending sequence now this of course refers to the ending theme song and the actual animation not just the song a lot of people like to confuse that on the internet so let's go over that list here we got the attack on Titan final season part one ending Beastars shadows house Selma spider so what skate infinity and Demon Slayer Moog and train the TV arc so honestly a lot of great tunes here but visually I think it goes to either skate the infinity you got infinity by Yuri and the Kumoko San no theme Ganbare for Selma spider so what I think this one goes to the spider honestly it's such a fun ending to a great series best opening sequence you guys remember when this came out when the opening for attack on Titan final season part one came out everybody was confused first but it was a banger so many tiktoks were made for that freaking song let's see you got jujutsu kaisen odd taxi a great song cry baby for tokyu revengers yes I know supreme miss Kobayashi's dragon mate s and kaibutsu Beastars this is a lot tougher than it looks I'm going to say just for the pure talent that went into making that series and that opening it's between odd taxi and miss Kobayashi's dragon mate for me and I think I'm gonna give it to the dragons because that opening is beautifully done in my opinion I'm gonna go with that even though all the songs are great I love them but I gotta represent my one of my favorite comedies right yeah yeah let's go with that vocal performance English I don't watch dubbed anime so I'll skip on that best now this was pretty random I don't think this list is the best one honestly why is Ayane Sakura for Gavi in here like add in sure whatever I get and vegan for for Lupin the third part six out of this bunch it's either Odokawa from odd taxi Kumoko so much better so what how we Yuki just knocked it out of the park I think she deserves it honestly so I'm gonna go with that how Yuki as Kumoko best music score we got of course man this is hard I'm a big fan of Sawano and 86 right now is one of the best ones in this list Demon Slayer Mugen train arc I didn't like the score for Mugen train arc I thought it was just okay honestly if anything the red light district art that's airing now as of this video has a better music score that's just my opinion Megalobox it's alright odd taxi odd taxi the score was not a thing that stood out to me or the series it excelled in the story and characters and all that stuff but I didn't watch it thinking man this has a great music score a wonder egg priority same deal it was a lot more subdued Vivi Floret ice's song now this is a musical based show so it makes sense but I'm gonna give it to Sawano that score for 86 is a beautiful work of art best character design Jujutsu Kaisen again odd taxi ranking of Kings skate the infinity Vivi and wonder egg priority if there's one thing that this show should win is the character designs it is a beautifully drawn show I'm gonna go with that even though I'm thinking oh I want to give it to ranking of Kings or skate the infinity but no wonder egg just knocked it out of the part with the art Cloverworks did a phenomenal job best animation best overall animation hmm this this is easy it to me at least it's between misko beashi's dragon mate s we should go 10 say you got Jujutsu kaisen demon Slayer mugen train arc Vivi again and wonder egg priority I think the best animation has to go to we should go 10 say that studio buying I love that they were created just to animate the whole series of the whole adaptation of machine for 10 say that's insane and awesome at the same time so yeah I'm gonna go for them even though Kyoto animation just knocked it out of the park with misko beashi's dragon mate but it's a tough one but I'm gonna give it to 10 say here best director this one is easy I am going to go you got Megalobox to nomad attack on Titan final season part 1 Jujutsu kaisen odd taxi wonder egg priority again and sunny boy it's a shame sunny boy isn't dominated for other categories because it's a great show I'm gonna go with that because the story is pretty frickin unique and wonderful for an original only anime I think more people should watch that show best fight scene the nominees are Eden versus the Warhammer Titan Naruto versus Ishiki Yuji itadori versus nobara oh and nobara Kugisaki sorry versus ESO and Ketchizu VV versus Yugo Kakitani another why two fights from Jujutsu kaisen come on guys Elmon versus Tony you know what I'm not gonna vote for Jujutsu guys sorry this fight from VV was really frickin well done like like holy crap movie level animation right there but I gotta go with the dragons Elma versus Toru that was an amazing fight loved it best antagonist this is pretty funny you got Eren Jaeger attack on Titan final season part 1 Tomura Shigaraki from my hero academia season 5 Yano from hot taxi a kid now from re-zero season 2 Tete Kisaki from Tokyo Revengers and Shindo or Adam from Skate the Infinity Adam was hilarious same with Yano I think the best antagonist or villain I gotta give it to a kid now I'm gonna go with that no questions but then you go to best protagonist and you got Eren Jaeger again which is it are we gonna go for antagonist or protagonist come on now give other characters a shot not just stick attack on Titan on every single category because you wanted to win Yuji Itadori or Orukawa hands down Boji is the winner here you got Joe from Megalobox and I from Wonder Egg priority wonderful characters but Prince Boji he's the best protagonist I don't like these two categories best girl best girl you got Milose from 86 Toru from fruits basket Sarasa Sarasa Watanabe sorry from Kageki Shoujo nobara from Jujutsu Kaisen Comey from Comey can communicate and I from from and I from Wonder

Jessica Pagula vs. Egas Fiontech is the final of the Qatar Open for 2023, and both players have had different roads to get to the final stage. Pagula entered the tournament as the number two seed and will get a buy in the first round. In the second round, she take on Oster Penko, who had had a very good solid start to the season, making a quarterfinal of this round open. And after being down 5-2 in the final set and saving multiple match points, Pagula came back from the brink, winning in 3-6-2-2-6-7-5 to get a very impressive win. In the quarterfinals, she would take on Haddad Mayer, who had taken out the number six seed, Kazak Kena. But this was no problem for Pagula getting through in straight sets, 6-3-6-2. In the semifinals, she would take on the number five seed, Sakkari. And after a little laps in concentration in the second set, she'd eventually get through in 3-6-2-4-6-6-1 to advance to the final. Fiontech entered the tournament as the number one seed and will get a buy in the first round. In the second round, she take on Danielle Collins in a matchup that was so hyped due to the fact that Collins had beaten Fiontech in their previous meeting. But Fiontech turned it up, winning in less than an hour, 6-1-6-1. In the quarterfinals, Fiontech was due to play the number 7 seed, Bencich, who had been on such a run, winning Abu Dhabi the week before and getting through Azarenka in the second round. Unfortunately, Bencich decided to withdraw due to fatigue, giving Fiontech the easy win. In the semifinals, Fiontech would take on the number 8 seed, Kudamatova, who had beaten Krajikova and Goff to get to this stage. And again, Fiontech just turned it up, winning in less than an hour again, 6-1-6-1 to advance to another Doha final as the defending champ. They still played six times before, which Fiontech leading the head-to-head 4-2, including winning all of their matches that they played last season. But Pagola did get the straight sets win at the start of the year and in the United Cup, representing America against Poland and it was a straight sets beat down, which we've never seen before from Pagola against Fiontech. If Pagola is going to win this one, she's going to have to play well in this wind. It's been very windy the last couple of days and she has been very smart when playing in the wind. It's going to be very windy in the final tomorrow according to the forecast, so she's going to have to slice the ball, come to the net, and really put in the variety against Fiontech. If Fiontech's going to win, she just needs to do what she's been doing. She absolutely destroyed Kudamatova and it was super windy. It felt like it wasn't even windy on that day, but she is going to have to do exactly that again against Pagola and I guess she has the confidence of knowing that she's beaten Pagola badly in matches before. This is going to be a very fun match and I wonder if the elements are going to play apart if it's going to be windy, if that's going to make a difference, but I'm going to go against Fiontech in straight sets. I think it's going to be closer than Fiontech's other straight sets matches this week, but I feel like Fiontech right now, the way she's playing is just like she was during that February to June streak that she had last year, where she just kicked everyone's butt. Let me know down in the comments below who's going to win this final.


Hey guys, it's Nate, AKA The Foot Accountant. Welcome back to the channel. I'm answering a big question today. We're talking about when to sell.  I wanna talk to you about when you can sell these cards, optimize your profit and keep yourself safe from dropping prices and cards that are going to be going down in the next couple of weeks with FIFA continuing, the full game release happening, the early access timeframe happening. Honestly, a lot of these cards, especially some of the lower rated ones, we're gonna be looking at shipping these out in the next two to three days, honestly, as the early access timeframe is approaching. That's a big timeframe where a lot of packs are open, a lot of new people get on the game that didn't have the EA access or maybe just started on the web app and then it didn't have the EA Play 10 hour trial and just prior to the game and then when the full game releases, there's a whole new wave of people that just get on the game for the first time as well. So we're gonna talk about this kind of stuff, when to sell some of these investments that you've made early on that have boomed in price. So again, Joe Gomez, right? I'm actually gonna go to FootWiz for this because FootWiz has got graphs as of right now that show you the prices and their fluctuations and their rise basically over the past time. Right now, Joe Gomez is 100K, he's probably gonna be a different price when you're watching this video, but he's definitely going to be more than what he was earlier in this timeframe of 30,000 coins. So I am recording this a bit early, but the concept is the same. So this is what I wanna talk about today. Timing the sale, especially just thinking about what is upcoming in the game that we need to prepare for, we need to know is coming and we know is actually on the radar for things that are gonna be coming content-wise. We're not getting that once to watch SBC or the player pick vote until October 5th and 6th. So any SBC fodder stuff that you wanna invest in, you can kinda chill on that for a couple days, we just don't need to mess with it, and that's not gonna affect any supply or anything on the market. The only supply these cards are having are SBC cards or SBC supply. If there's any pack supply SBCs that would come out, that'd be a change and that'd be different, but I don't expect that. But honestly, just the advanced SBCs and then people opening FIFA points right away at the start of the game, which a lot of people are gonna continue doing on that early access timeframe. So big dates to know for a lot of these cards, right? Sunday, squad battle rewards, that's a time where a lot of the high-rated or high-priced but low-rated players enter a Nathan Ake or an Adama. A lot of players like this start to get a lot of supply from those packs and by that time, people are not really using these cards in their teams anymore. They wanna upgrade their Adama to somebody like Pepe or to a Mares or to a Lucas Mora or to a Gareth Bale. They're trying to get their coins to upgrade their teams and players like this start to fall to the wayside and their prices start to drop. So I know that we have rising prices and we actually have an extinct Nathan Ake right now, but a lot of people are gonna wanna upgrade from a Nathan Ake to that Joe Gomez or to another center back in the Prem or maybe even another Dutch center back like a delict depending on what kind of team they have. So you're gonna start to see these prices come back down to where they were and they're gonna even drop lower than where they were in the early access and the even web app timeframe stage. So if you have low-rated cards, I would even throw Richarlison into this batch. Richarlison is probably gonna maintain his price decently well for a while but I would look to sell some of these cards. I honestly think you wanna be ahead of the curve. Watch these prices on Saturday. If there's any cards that go up a decent amount on Saturday like basically an update, right? If there's an update, people are still buying and the momentum is upwards on Saturday before squad battle rewards. I think honestly I would cut your ties with a lot of those cards because you have a lot of people right now and you're myself included, right? I still have some cards sitting on my transfer list. There are some cards here that I need to sell. Regulon, Pepe, Porto, I've got a Lucas Hernandez, right? I've got, you know, and I sell like 50, 60K almost you're just chilling on my transfer list and I need to know when to sell those cards and get the most money I possibly can for them because that matters, right? At the start of foot when coins are so precious, that matters. So knowing when to sell these guys is very, very important. That's why I wanna talk about the low-rated guys first. Players like Sosoko, players like Indombley, they're gonna maintain their price a decent amount because they're still super meta but they're gonna be dropping after that timeframe as well. So I would try to sell the low-rated dudes like again, like an Ake who is extinct on the market. I would sell these dudes sooner rather than later.  And that's just what happens a lot after Sunday. So get those low-rated cards out sooner rather than later. Anything that is 80-rated or below that doesn't have a super crazy pack weight like a guy like last year's Ferland Mendy, I would get them out ASAP, do that quickly, take your coins, right, on the low-rated stuff. Now on the higher-rated stuff, you have a bit more of a, maybe I guess you could say interesting situation because it depends on the type of card that you have. A lot of cards, like ones who watch Golds that people are investing in because these cards are gonna go out of packs like Bale, like Havertz. You know, these guys are very expensive, they're probably gonna go up even more from these prices that you see right here in the next day or so. And I still think for a lot of these cards, for the cards that were ones to watch as last year, this Gareth Bale card is honestly good enough that if he isn't ones to watch team one and it's a bit of a risk, right? Cause we have two OTW teams this year. He could be in team two very easily and that means his gold card is in packs for another week and that means his gold card would drop because some people are buying this card right now because they think it's gonna go out of packs and go up. I would just be very careful if you're buying or investing in ones to watch gold items because they have the potential. Even if they're confirmed ones to watch this, they might not be in the first OTW team set. They might be in team two. Just be kind of careful with those and I would honestly look to sell those probably the day or two before ones to watch would come out. Honestly, I'm thinking around the timeframe of like, maybe Wednesday, maybe Thursday, cause I don't think they're gonna release any more OTWs. Maybe one or two, maybe they'll get leaked. I hope they don't get leaked. We haven't had many leaked situations, but for those out of pack investments that you make during this timeframe, I would look to sell those then to be safe. And if you think they're gonna get into team one, just like a Havertz or a Bale could, then I would hold those guys and maybe actually sell them just because of how hype Bale is and how sick his card looks for an 83 rated. This would be a card that I would expect to act like Lucas Hernandez from FIFA 20 where his gold card went to 40K and then went to 60K when he was actually out of packs just because there wasn't as much investing on that card and there wasn't over investing that took place. So Bale being this expensive, there's probably not gonna be a lot of over investing but that's kind of how I feel about these out of packs ones to watch cards. It's a bit of a gamble. So if you wanna take it safe, sell those cards on like Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday before the promo would actually start on that next Friday. So basically like a week from today when this video is going live or yesterday not go live on Saturday, who knows? But that's what I'd say about the ones to watch cards because that's a big, big thing. And I think you just wanna take the coins and be safe and sell into the hype there just again because it's early on and you wanna be smart with that. Other meta cards.  These are top tier top of the line, best in their position, best in their league. These cards are gonna continue rising probably into the first two or three weekend leagues whenever those dates are. And I think I would honestly keep holding these. If it's a super meta card, Mbappe, Neymar, Ronaldo, continue to hold on to those because you're gonna wanna squeeze out every single possible coin you can. And don't let these guys just sit in your club. Use them, man. It's the early part of the game. Who cares if they're not fresh? You know, that does not matter. The amount of your division rivals matches. The rivals rewards you might get. And maybe even your first set weekend or two weekends of footchamps using these really good cards that you have invested in and having your club for cheap could give you an advantage and possibly get you more rewards. So I would say use these cards in your teams as you're starting to play objectives and stuff in foot and these really high rated meta cards. I would look to ship these out later after the first weekend league or so because a lot of these cards from last year, if you look at their graphs, we can go look at Sun's graph really quick. Obviously he was the center forward, position changed last year, so it's a bit different in terms of how much his price actually was. But look at Sun's graph. He just continually rose into the month of October for that second or third weekend league. He peaked before we had the downturn for Black Friday and boom, you know, that's kind of where he hit his peak. Now we hit a really good peak on October 18th as well where he kind of had his max price there too. So again, that's about two weeks and then you have about four weeks actually after the beginning of the game. So that's a rather way to rise for those weekend league demand is what's really going to be big for some of these super duper meta cards like a Sun, Leroy Sane, some of those other players that I mentioned. Same thing with meta players in team of the week. The longer that you hold these, the better. This Veneta card, I don't even want to know how expensive this card's going to get. I would not be surprised if this card goes to like 600,000 coins, 700,000 coins for this card if he's meta, which he has to be. People are going to make him meta, he's the rat, we know it. Bruno Fernandez is going to be a card that's going to stay expensive. This Upamakano is crazy expensive as an informer right now. Vardy is a Premier League striker, going to be expensive. One thing that could drop Vardy's price, and if you have Vardy, I might be careful because of the, if Dominic Cowbert Lewin does win Premier League Player of the Month, whenever that voting goes live, whenever we see who's possibly in it, I think he has a good shot to win it. That could be an SBC kind of like Vardy's Player of the Month from last year in FIFA that could drop the price of strikers, depending on how cheap that SBC is. If he's really cheap, has really good stats, you might see a guy like Vardy's inform, get panic sold a bit. So that's just kind of a, you know, situation to think about. There's always that sort of risk though, other cards coming out and your card dropping. You know, another inform coming out in the same position, same league, but a player with better stats, there's always that kind of risk there, even with some of these gold cards, you know, maybe like, I don't know, a left wing in the Bundesliga gets an inform, and it's a really sick card and it's almost as good as Sane. And then maybe you have Sane drop because it's an inform with a dynamic image with similar stats and it just looks that good. That's maybe a bad example, but you kind of get the gist, right? So there's always some sort of risk with holding on these cards because they could just drop because there's always more cards coming onto the game with promos and stuff and informs that EA could put out, especially objectives and wants to watch items could affect these, absolutely. But honestly, what you want to do on the really, really meta cards, as I did say was hold them into that first or second week and they just use them in your team, have fun, use the good cards, and then, you know, cash them out before that Black Friday timeframe, when you do see, like we looked at Junmin Sun, a lot of those cards going down in price, heading into Black Friday and even actually into team of the year as well. So that's a long ways down the line, but a lot of the cards that you buy, if it's low rated, you want to sell it soon. If it's kind of out of packs card, you can kind of play the waiting game with, is it does actually go out of packs or are you gonna sell into the hype? And then if it's a super meta card, you know, even a guy that is 85 rated like an Allen, that's a super meta card type, stuff like that. You can hold those types of cards longer as we get into the week in weeks because those are just gonna go up. And if you want some reference, go look at some graphs from last year, right? Let's say, you know, a guy like Allen was different last year because he was in, obviously, Annapoli in the Serie A. So he might react a little bit differently this year to a lot of the hype than he did last year. So always keep that kind of stuff in mind with players that are gonna get into OTW and just general transfers, position changes, hype in general, and use other items. Like I said, use other items from last year or from the current year to help you price. That's always, that's the biggest tip that I can give somebody at the start of the game like we're in right now is compare prices with similar position players and nationality. So like for son, I would compare him to Mane. I would compare him to Rashford. I would compare him to other expensive left mids like Sane. I would compare these two guys, right? You know, Sane and son, you know, son's a lot more expensive, of course, but you know, you can draw some sort of comparison there to see are they rising the same amount of percentage each day, are they dropping both at the same time and stuff like that just to kind of compare and kind of know when that ultimate sell time will be. So hopefully that answers some of the when should I sell times or questions for you dudes? Cause I know a lot of you guys are making a bank and you want to know when you can cash out on that bank.  It's a big time thing for you cause you need those coins that continue turning out the trades and turning out the investments and making more coins and just compounds and compounds. So take that into concept and take that into account as well. When you're figuring out when is the best time for you to sell.
