[MUSIC PLAYING, "FOR THE LOVE OF MONEY" - THE O' JAYS] (SINGING) Brother, can you spare a dime? Money can drive some people out of their minds. Got to have it. I really need it.

JARED QUAY: Roger Goodell is going to remain the big boss of the NFL for the foreseeable future, according to Adam Schefter who reports that the league owners are expected to finalize a contract extension for the commissioner next week. Funny how the owners don't franchise tag the commissioner. Am I right?
- I'd say you're right on the money.
JARED QUAY: And the Commission's going to get a lot of money. We don't know how much yet, but considering Goodell allegedly made $64 million for the 2020, 2021 season, and factoring inflation--
- It's still kind of a lot, though.
JARED QUAY: It's safe to assume Rodgers is going to be counting money like Bugs Bunny.
[CASH TILL RINGS]
The Grizzlies are hoping to see Ja Morant return to the court on Wednesday. Morant has been sidelined since March 4 after a series of unfortunate events culminating with the video he posted of himself wielding a gun in a strip club on IG Live. The star guard says he underwent counseling and various treatments for anxiety while serving an eight game suspension handed down by The Grizzlies. According to head Coach Taylor Jenkins, Ja addressed his teammates during a workout on Monday morning, while the public got to see Morant for the first time on Monday night in Memphis during The Grizzlies' game against the Mavs.
JASON SUDEIKIS: I can't help but take this opportunity to take at least one question. So please, yeah. Ah! Wait, hold on. [MUMBLES] Decorum, right? That was the word we were using? Decorum? Yes, sir. You have a familiar face. Hi.

JASON SUDEIKIS: Yes, Trent. Nice to see you.
JARED QUAY: Yes! That's the fantastic cast of "Ted Lasso" visiting the White House on Monday to talk about the importance of mental health, something we all can agree on.
JASON SUDEIKIS: We all know someone who has-- or had been that someone ourselves, actually-- that's struggled, that's felt isolated, that's felt anxious, that has felt alone, right? And it's actually one of the many things that, believe it or not, that we all have in common as human beings, right?
JARED QUAY: That's right, Jason Sudeikis.
JASON SUDEIKIS: We encourage everyone. And it's a big theme of the show is, like, to check in with your, you know, your neighbor, your coworker, your friends, your family, and ask how they're doing, and listen sincerely.
JARED QUAY: Whether they're on this show or in real life, Coach Lasso is full of good advice. Enjoy your day, everybody.
