All American

Condor ball, third and 10

from their own 29-yard line.

Down, set, go!

Aye, that third-and-long play in the second quarter.

Uh, the one where I passed to Deshawn

- and we got a first down? - Yeah, I was man-to-man

with no safety help. I could have scored, bruh.

But we still ended up scoring on that drive.

I'm just saying, you usually find me on those plays.

This ain't got nothing to do with Liv's book or me not telling you

- about the draft, right? - Spence, I'm good, ok?

Look, we are 3-0 and kicking ass,

all right? I mean, we didn't win our third game

last season until what, November?

All right, if you're telling me it's nothing personal, then I believe you.

I am just making my reads and following

- the analytics like Mac said. - Ah!

Mac's analytics. Jordan, chuckling: Ok.

Look, look, look, look, I know that you're not crazy about analytics...

- Mm-hmm. - But this is still coach Kenny's team.

He's the one who's calling all the plays; He will make sure

that you get your touches. I'm glad you so confident.

Now, why are we sulking?

Ain't nobody sulking, ok? I'm just observing.

Dr. Gutenberg's been in there way too long for my liking.

All right, fellas, bring it in. Bring it in.

Listen up. Settle down, settle down.

Congratulations on another hard-fought victory.

You guys showed up and you continue to prove

that you got that dog in you.

And we owe part of that success to coach Mac,

who has been a solid addition this past month,

and who I'm happy to announce

is our new offensive coordinator.

Coach.

Can I holla at you for a second?

- Yeah, what's up, Spence? - Nothing.

Just wanted to check on you, make sure you good.

Why wouldn't I be?

Seriously? That whole promotion thing can't be sitting right with you.

His analytics came up big for us.

As long as we're getting these wins, that's all that matters.

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

Cut the crap, ok?

This is me.

That was Gutenberg's way of putting Mac in position

for your job as head coach, and you know that.

What are you talking about?

- What do you want me to say, Spence? - I want you

to be honest about how unfair and jacked up this is.

- Fair? - Yeah.

Business is business, baby.

Ain't no fairness to this,

so you better get used to it.

Look, you wanted to announce to the world

that you're declaring early, so this is nothing

compared to what you're gonna experience at the next level.

- Is that supposed to scare me? - No.

No, sir, just prepare you.

You'll see what I'm talking about when you meet

with those agents tomorrow. Like I told you before,

welcome to the big leagues, bruh.

You're a commodity now.

Hey.

Well, Dr. Ladage, how bad is it?

Your blood flow looks good, meaning the cardiomyopathy

is not progressing or causing any more damage.

- That's good, right? - Oh, it's great.

Between the specialized diet, the monitored workouts

over the last year, and your new meds, your heart's

in the best shape it's been in in a long time.

How are your overall stress levels?

Fine. Yeah, jaymee and I finally got a.J.

On a fairly decent schedule and, I mean, there's no stress

- at work or school. - Ok, good.

All I can say is just keep up the good work,

keep your stress levels to a minimum,

and I will see you in a couple of months.

- Yes, ma'am. Thank you. - Take care.

Hey, can you do me a favor and call my phone?

I cannot find it anywhere, and I don't want to be late.

Uh, I can do you one better.

It's... it's in your hand.

Right. I won't even tell you

how long I was looking for this.

Ok, let's take a second, breathe.

What's with all the first day of school energy?

Well, I'm conducting my first interview for my dad's book,

and I just want it to be perfect.

Oh, I think it's gonna be great. Who's it with?

- Ms. Grace. - Oh.

Why'd you change your 'oh'?

- Did I? - Yeah.

Well, um...

As an outside observer,

I'm just wondering if your mom is ok

with Ms. Grace being one of your first interview subjects,

given the... the complicated history there.

Ok, fair, fair, but,

in my commitment to not making

the same mistakes as old Liv, new Liv

talked to her mom and received her blessing.

Tsk. I am so proud of new Liv.

Thank you, and my mom knows that I'm focusing on my dad's teenage years,

and who better to talk to than his high school sweetheart?

Hmm.

Speaking of sweetheart...

Is Jordan still texting you about wedding bands?

No, he's moved on to wedding planners.

Oh.

Well, good luck with that.

Yeah.

Yo, do we need all this? I ain't trying to feed these people.

- I want them in and out. - Bro, chill, ok?

It's good etiquette. And if that's Liv,

tell her you are hatin' on the sharcoolery board.

It's charcuterie board, fool, if you

can't pronounce it, we shouldn't have it.

And it ain't Liv. Preach wants me to stop by south crenshaw later,

so the sooner we can wrap this up, the sooner I can dip.

Bro, it's literally your first day meeting with agents,

all right? And as annoying as I know it may be,

this is a crucial part of the draft process.

The draft ain't for 7 months.

And that's on me? You're the one that decided to declare

early, putting yourself on the radar of all these agents.

- All right, all right, all right. - Now it's time

- to own that choice. - All right.

All right.

First things first. Two type of agents.

The ones that are just

super-huge fans that all they care about is the hype;

two, the ones that think that they'd be doing you a favor

- by signing with them. - Aight, bet.

And remember, you are not eligible to sign

with any of them until you officially,

officially declare for the draft, ok?

These meetings are just to feel them out.

- That's it. - Got it.

Whoo!

It is a pleasure to meet you, Spencer James.

Now, you will not find a bigger Spencer James fan

than the Weston Randolph agency.

How long we supposed to let him sleep for?

How do we even know he's alive?

We think Spencer James is

a generational talent, and we want to be a part

of the Spencer... James... Business!

Maybe you should check.

No, I'm not checking. I don't see dead people,

and I damn sure don't touch 'em. You check.

Nope.

We're not one of these run-of-the-mill agencies.

We rep several first overall picks

and a host of future hall-of-famers.

But that doesn't mean any of our other clients

get lost in the shuffle.

As my assistant stated, we ensure all

our clients get proper amount of attention.

But the moneymakers get the most.

Well, that's just how capitalism works.

But you don't need to worry about that if you're an elite player.

'If'? Oh, I definitely am.

Well, the numbers are bringing that into question.

There's been a huge drop-off in production

from last season to this year,

especially in the last couple of games.

Yeah, well... Uh, we got

a new o.C., so we're still finding our rhythm, you know.

Most people won't give it to you straight, but I will.

You put up huge numbers last season,

but that was last season, and in football,

you're only as good as your last game, Spencer.

The fewer touches you get, the faster your draft stock plummets.

You'd be smart to sign with our agency while there's still interest.

- I appreciate you coming down. - So what's up?

Yeah, I want you to, uh, meet this kid

that I'm mentoring. His name is deion.

Folks are calling him the next Spencer James.

- Heh heh! - Good dude, stays out of trouble, for the most part.

I thought you said he was the next Spencer James.

'Cause staying out of trouble was not one of my strengths

- when I roamed these halls. - Heh heh! Oh, I know.

A few teachers still talk about it.

Y'all drove one of 'em to drinking.

'The Spencer James reign of terror.'

- For real? - Look, their words, not mine.

I mean, deion's the next you on the football field.

He started varsity last year as a freshman,

and he's putting up stupid numbers. Ok.

Good kid, ballin' out. What's the problem?

Seems like the more deion is becoming successful
