Ballers

The brother and I met with the bankers this morning,

and they're in. Tell me, please,

tell me you got your guy for sure.

I'm working on it.

I want a temple.

I think you're getting a bit cloudy

because you're obsessing about your ex-partner.

I won't deny it, I want to bury the fucking guy.

Jason came through with 80 million.

I already got money, Reg.

At some point you gotta ask yourself,

"How much is enough?"

There may be more information about the situation

- that you may have left out. - That is the truth.

Well then, the truth is I gotta let you go.

Thank you for your service.

These fools just being divisive, tryna come up with hot takes.

Think you can do better? I'd love to hear y'all try.

Hey T, man, get me a meeting.

Antolotti, you ready to jump on that team jet?

- Not quite. I got another offer. - It's a pass.

Kane is in the building.

At some point, the only way to succeed

is to stop giving a fuck.

It's a mind-set that I highly recommend.

Frees you up to take chances,

make unpopular choices.

They say it's not for everyone.

I say fuck it. Ma'am?

- Yes? - Candace Brewer?

- Depends on who's asking. - I'm from FedEx.

I can see from the outfit.

What do you have? Says it's from LAPD, no name.

Just leave it over on the coffee table.

All right, great.

Can I get you to sign for it?

No.

All right, ma'am, you have a great day.

Calling to say you reconsidered?

I'm sorry to say that I'm not.

How's the new guy working out?

I thought he'd be a hell of a lot better.

Look, I'll get that offer for the Mahomes extension

out to you ASAP.

Sounds good, but what are you gonna do

to replace Hill and Hunt?

As Giselle once said, "He can't throw and catch the ball."

Uh, I'm working on it.

Let me help you help yourself.

I got the perfect player in mind.

- You have a name? - Kisan Teague.

Yeah, replacing a problem with another one.

Apples and oranges.

There's no domestic "sitch," no alleged child abuse.

The guy's practically a Boy Scout.

Is there a video?

That shows him doing anything wrong?

No, he just has horrible taste in friends.

Come to think of it, so did you.

- Well, I was the bad element. - Exactly.

Just meet the kid, all right?

Worst case, you get a year out of him.

I get a drive-by discount?

You're a mercenary fuck, Spence.

Shit, I've been called a hell of a lot worse.

Morning, boss.

Have you solved our giant Jack in the Box sized problem?

T.J. Yeldon's agent's acting like he's the second coming

of Walter fucking Payton.

They're asking for 20 for 2.

- Pass. - He thinks we're desperate.

Because we are.

I still won't overpay for mediocrity.

And from now on, the talking point is, we're reloading.

Yeah, we're not desperate, we're the Rams.

I like that.

Anytime you're dealing from a place of weakness,

rebrand it with a gun metaphor.

It's patriotic. Locked and fucking loaded.

How about Duke Johnson?

How about Alvin Kamara?

I hear he's not interested in leaving New Orleans.

Well, then, let's make him interested

in leaving New Orleans, Benny.

We don't take "no" for an answer.

Desperate times, they call for desperate measures.

Like Belichick says, "Do your job."

Are you gonna do your job?

Hell, yeah.

All right, 'cause I'm trying

to avoid hearing more shit from Warner.

Alvin Kamara!

Well, you know, we like to earn while we learn.

All right, thanks, Jay.

Who are you talking to, man?

You got another job or something?

Hell, no.

I "TTD'd" one up for you, though.

Oh, I remember reading that ad in the paper

for one-legged miserable pricks.

Plus, we don't want another scenario

like we had the other day.

What scenario is that?

Nothing, he just fucking with me.

Baby, don't let him talk to you like that.

You better tell him you still got two good legs.

Yeah.

But listen to TTD, 'cause I think he's onto something.

- Thank you, Amber. - Mm-hmm.

I spoke to Glazer.

He's gonna set up an interview with Sirius.

Oh, what, you manager now?

I ain't think about it like that,

but now that you've mentioned it, maybe I am.

First y'all pushing me to get off the field

and now y'all sweating me to join the work force.

It's for your own good.

Oh, look at you, Dennis, on your white parenting vibes

giving advice and shit.

No good can come from a busted-up Ricky

with a bunch of free time.

Now, you run your route, you catch a pass.

Don't be scared. Yeah, baby.

Nothing to fear but fear itself.

Ripping lines from dead presidents, huh?

Y'all must really be desperate.

No, we're not desperate.

Concerned.

Mm, cotton candy reminds me

of losing my virginity on Miami Beach.

Is that weird? It's very, very touching.

Listen, before we embark on this night

of enjoyable debauchery,

I think we should clear the air with a little whiff of reality.

We are majorly out

on a fucking limb financially, mate.

That's where I do my best work.

This Municipal launch is costing us a fortune.

Okay, Lance, Lance, Lance,

all the greatest entrepreneurs have been minutes away

from disaster and destruction;

Steve Jobs, Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos.

And not for nothing,

but Spencer used to love to take chances.

Yeah, well, I only like to take chances with my penis,

and I'm sorry if I don't quite live up

to your fallen paramour in that department.

Listen, I've been aggressive, yes... reckless, even...

but now is the time to go all in.

We spent $80 million on a pile of dirt.

We don't even have city approval.

- Yet. - 50 million on Jason's agency.

Now we rep Patrick fucking Mahomes

and we have the chance to make the biggest deal

in football history.

All I'm saying is, we're way beyond all in.

Yeah, we are. I get it.

Mm, make enough for 1,000 guests, please.

Very frugal.

"The health and safety of our players

is our primary concern."

That's all you fucking say, Jared.

Spencer, how are you adapting?

You know me, I'm a quick learner.

Yeah, "quick-ish" at best.

Bet it feels pretty good

to be part of a club that didn't want you.

Yeah, feels better than expected.

Every boy's dream, Spencer.

Fuck a supermodel and own an NFL team.

And I see you followed in Bossman's footsteps.

It's just much simpler being my own GM.

Only got one person to argue with.

Hey, you do that anyway.

It's also proving a lot harder than I expected.

How so?

Thinking about making a move.

Unpopular move.

Unpopular to who?

The league.

Hearing rumors about Kisan Teague.

Are you asking for confirmation or a blessing?

Little of both.

Anything I need to hear?

Or see?

Well, I'm not gonna confirm or deny, but I will say

that if video of said rumored event does exist,

it won't see the light of day.

That's all I need to know.

That's why you're the best, Candace.

You have a good day.
