He's out for the season he would have been a number one pick in the NBA bought because of -- rule -- you have to go to college for a year before entering the NBA the kid may have lost a ton of money is what I say Brian Kilmeade.
That you should be able to go straight from high school to the NBA this is America you make money you should be getting the money go -- right.
Now if your intent is hearing golf.
Fine and by the way with some casting now -- the great fox business -- work on Boeing company that's fine but in this case in particular I love.
I love that the NBA made this rule it saved to a degree.
College is saved to a degree college basketball because you get a chance to see these guys who are quite ready to go into the pros.
And you -- these guys -- 13 of the national stage and see they have what it takes you know you guys are going to that -- insurance -- Stewart where we can lend them money 40000 dollars to an insurance policy.
If something happens he's got every he's gonna recover from this that he can't play he still get five million dollar Canada of the 40000 there's a great building -- that.
Kill -- you cannot run out the clock on bond company that you -- totally wrong this is America you do something you should get paid for next case.
South Carolina hopeful -- to begin the clown and he is considering taking out -- five million dollar insurance policy on his health.
He's expected to be the topic in next -- NFL draft brought your reaction to a five million dollar insurance policy he took it out himself -- The NFL does not want anything to do with getting guys directly from high school.
Stewart which you're forgetting -- back eases forgetting about as associate -- the societal part of being pro and being very rich very young.
And then hanging out with men who were 3035 years old.
They're not ready for you see a lot of these guys hang out early never reach the potential because they can't break the starting -- they wanna catching quick like Stewart -- he would -- he was my agent.
What the -- if I would have the ability I thought I had.
And -- one pro so they're not ready for this so emotionally they're not ready in many cases not Kevin Garnett or Kobe Bryant they both were ready to a degree although they had to mature into themselves.
But I think for the most part.
There is a chance you gonna get heard -- -- insurance policies out there.
Take up the -- policy -- -- did the same thing Taliban's broad data for North Carolina they end up having.
-- careers in the pros and still having to being Smart about it and that giving up their future.
All right.
And yet again we disagree I'm gonna move on though -- wrestling.
The International Olympic Committee says and the wrestling will not be in the Olympics starting in the year 2020.
I think back is terrible and I cannot understand why would get rid of a sport.
That I think 26 different countries -- medals in London last year in wrestling why earth would you wanna take it out of the Olympics.
Stuart we shouldn't take this I feel so bad for -- is I would argue that that sport builds more character more self esteem.
And -- -- citizens and any other sport because it's 24 I was gonna watch which Kiichi and always -- you gotta be focus to lonely sport to a degree.
And you could be any shape and any size and compete in the highest level and the as the expectations.

As much as I love wrestler as -- Kerry McCoy and Dan Gable.
They gotta get the celebrities that were once wrestlers and I Donald Rumsfeld liked Robin Williams like John Irving the great author like Kevin James people that.
Like -- has to the speaker.
You get these people from the political world from the show business world to talk about what it's done.
-- champions they had their life more bite this sport which -- taken such a beating at the college level because of title nine.
