3 idiots talking
Well said
Agree
Lol yeah Doug thinks you can't hide a secret
So according to the 3 stooges, The DOJ is lying even after Mizuhara has admitted to stealing Ohtanis money . GOT IT!!
Just apologize to Ohtani.
Nope. 16 million? Before any apology, Ohtani needs to admit he is not smart and VERY naive.
They never will apologize. They’d rather go conspiracy than admit they were wrong or apologize😂
@@bfunk9572Ohtani owes y’all NOTHING 😅
@JoshuaMartian-go3tm and we don't owe him an apology for being naive. I don't feel sorry for him. He should be smarter than that but I guess he's not.
@@bfunk9572who are you lol. OP was talking about the media guys with a platform. No one cares if you apologize. 😂
“Can’t prove that he didn’t make bets”
They looked at years of text messages, phone calls, apps, etc. you’re telling me Ohtani cautiously wrote down on a piece of paper 19,000 wagers and didn’t slip once in years but decided to use his bank account that make bets? You all are insane.
Plus it makes no sense for the winnings to go to Ippei's account. If he was betting, why would he send it to Ippei's account? He would see none of the winnings. If he was sending wire transfers from his account, his account is already in use, so why would you need to then secretly not use his account for winnings?
Why would he need to buy $400k worth of ebay baseball cards/balls to resell later, when you're that rich?
These guys just need to read the document lmao
Its not insane they were joined at the hip for years. Ippei could show him the lines and take his bets without them ever texting about it.
@@solenstyle To keep Shohei in the clear that's always been the priority.
@@Kinogotiate You really think they planned that deep? Man, it's just easier to believe the guy (Ippei) who went to casino school and lied about him attending a university, cheated a close friend out of money.
And how does that explain the $300k in baseball cards to hope to resell on ebay later? Why would Ohtani need that money, when he's already making so much?
@@Kinogotiate they want to keep him in the clear yet they wire millions to an illegal bookie directly through his personal bank account 🤡🤡🤡 god make it make sense atleast lmfao
05:17 “I hope somebody does their job” says the person who didn’t actually read the complaint 😂
Clowns are pissed Ohtani is actually innocent 😂😜
Who is the guy talking behind he's implying that Shohei is guilty even after the feds cleared him HATER!!!
Dude the guy saying "I think this, I think that..." zero logic behind any of his feelings. Just decided he wants to feel a type of way and went with it.
People who keep repeating “I think” like a speech impediment are not deep thinkers
FBI is going to help MLB with cover up, seriously?
FBI AND MLB SAME INDUSTRY
@@streetj3sus MLB don't run this country lol...
@@streetj3susYou’re displaying the level of your intelligence to the world here you know…
@@6pingpongpang9 you are already did that ,
By not acknowledging mlb is part of the bread and circuses entertainment, the feds are paid to protect them is common sense
“I hope someone can go above and beyond what the feds are doing” these can’t be real human beings
They’re dumb jocks who barely passed high school and college (because US schools cheat on behalf of their athletes)
Just apologize to OHTANI buddy....MAN up.....cuz people can see through u guys
He will not apologize, hes not man enough...How do i block Doug Gotlieb show but not Fox Sports Radio?
You think some guy stole over 40mill from a billionaires financial team... it could not be any more obvious that he placed bets for Ohtani.
Misihara had noo line of credit to bet 100s of millions.....
@@jony_b774 you dont read the news a lot do u ? OHTANi gave them his personal phone too and help with investigations
@@jony_b774The IRS, the Homeland Security and the FBI have all cleared Ohtani, and have undeniable evidence with bank statements, text messages and recordings of Ippei on bank calls. We all knew Ohtani was innocent and the real victim except the trolls and haters still trying to accuse him are only making a fool out of themselves.

So you are asserting that Ippei is a fall guy? A sacrificial lamb? A guy that made 19000 bets, had access to Ohtani`s bank account, and had all the power over Ohtani because he spoke for Ohtani, you are telling me he`s some martyr and taking one for the team?
The guy is a gambling addict, liar, and thief. The only one to blame is Ippei.
Exactly
Doug seems to be coming around and doing less victim blaming but the other guy is a nut. He thinks DOJ, FBI, IRS, and US Attorney is all in cahoots with protecting Ohtani.
For real though! Why the hell would they be protecting him? They don’t give a damn about a sports athlete
@@tristingarcia4347 Makes zero sense. The don't gain anything by a coverup. Dummy talk.
Ya doug is just skeptical because this entire situation is absolutely ridiculous and unprecedented so it's just simply hard to comprehend this scale of thievery and lies
They're protecting him they say, yet the government's investigation was actually the reason why all of this came to light 😂
If it doesnt add up then you have to go read the 37 page complaint babes itll make more sense lol
Sports ‘journalists’ reading 30 pages, are you kidding?
Exactly
Yall some deep rooted haters 😂😂
Cant prove he didn't know or knew...besides him willingly turning over his electronic devices and them going through thousands of texts dating back to 2021. They found no mentions of betting etc. All they have to do is read the findings in the 37pg release, why speculate still?
Anybody who still says “it doesn’t add up” is a victim of Ippei’s lies
What a bunch of knobs that work on this show.
Absolutely the worst take on this subject.
Ohtani voluntarily deferred $68 of $70 million annual salaries for the next 10 (!) years. Which gambler with a huge debt to an illegal bookie would do THAT???
Did he also defer all of his endorsement checks?
@@jamalcorbin5542Ohtani had his parents manage his funds while he was a pro in Japan and they sent him a $1000 a month. He didn’t even spend that. It’s a fact.
Apologize dogs 😂😂
Shame on y’all thinking the IRS would ever let a big fish like OHTANI go if he was guilty without using him as an example. Just ask Richard Hatch & Wesley Snipes. 😂
You think Ohtani is like Richard Hatch and Wesley Snipes? 😂
@@eddievangundy4510 Celebrities. The IRS loves to use celebs as examples.
Love to know my sports radio broadcasters have more investigative knowledge than our FBI
The guy who thinks the FBI would cover all of this up for Ohtani is so incredibly dumb, I question whether he can even feed and cloth himself
Anyone who trusts the government as the end all be all for what’s fair & that justice gets served 100% of the time is equally naive
Interesting , the one radio guy that has seen no evidence of anything, has convinced himself of something opposite to what Federal Investigators have concluded.
とにかく、謝れ
Who's the conspiracy theorist speaking off camera?
Who is more likely to have a gambling problem a baseball player who grew up in rural japan or a Translator who grew up in LA and lied about having a degree. language barrier and unfamiliarity leaves athletes vulnerable. How many American athletes who speak English have been conned by their own financial advisors. wheres the journalistic integrity?
J Stew thinks he is the only honest man alive. Embarrassing and pathetic to always hear this pessimism
These guys also believe in Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny.
Mr tin foil flat earth here is hard on cope
April 11 is the official 'Apologize to Ohtani Day.' Did you guys apologize yet? If not, when can we expect it?
Apologize for what, him being involved in a gambling conspiracy? Where there’s smoke there’s fire. No apology necessary
@@TheBest0704 For accusing Ohtani of being a gambling addict, using Ippei as the fallguy, calling him deceitful, involved with making payments to the illegal bookmaker, comparing him to Pete Rose, etc.
@@doubledown8229 Ohtani should apologize for letting his fans down
@@TheBest0704
He's not letting his fans down with his .333 BA / .635 SLG / 1.012 OPS.
@@doubledown8229 he’s a pretty serviceable Designated Hitter, like many past players. Not worth 700 million, not worth half that. He will never be able to pitch and hit fulltime without accumulating more injuries. No man can. It’s impossible. Baseball isn’t meant for that. He should give half the money back
They bet against Ohtani and lost. They’ve got a natural talent to become a next Ippei Mizuhara for sure.
Case closed. SHOHEI OHTANI the greatest athlete.
The oncologist tells Doug that he has an inoperable tumor and he tells the doctor that it's not that bad, my God!
Here's a good question to asked to any doubters wrong. Are there any evidences that he gambled in Japan when he was playing there for the NPO? Take a look at his history and find out. Shohei Othani wasn't involved in this scandal. He's innocent. It was the interpreter's doing.
1) youre right that japanese culture is different but gambling is NOT more prevalent in japan. Sports betting and casinos arent even legal in japan
2) read the 37 page document before you speak. It answers all of the other guys doubts
It seems they want to denigrate Ohtani at all costs.
Here’s the difference: If it turns out Ohtani was guilty all along, every one of us will apologize for being wrong. But seeing as he’s currently cleared, journalists are just incapable of doing the same.
Lies y’all would tuck ur tails and hide stop the bs 😂😂
He might not be guilty but he's certainly oblivious and incompetent
These ppl are not journalists. Just gossip girls
@@Chris-jt4pl stop projecting buddy
How the hell do you prove not knowing anything 😂
It doesn't add up?
How should everything fit your narrative or perspective?
Just apologize 😊
What more do you want
You believe the original ESPN sit down story from the interpreter (not Shohei) that Ohtani paid off the debt knowingly to help a friend. The original story was 4 mil. Shohei lost total 16 mil. Make it make sense. Who's lying.
Dismissed??? Who are these bozos?!
These tools wont apologize cause they are cowards
If bro serves any time 100 percent ohtani is innocent. No amount of hush money would make a Japanese man do the time here
Western mind set and outlook of things are so drastically different than Eastern. Based on Ohtani's reputation and his history of not having any interest in anything other than baseball. As well as his little interest in money, it is very possible that it is just that simple.. He is a victim.
Somebody please tell me who is this guy saying Ippei and Ohtani both had gambling problem. Does anybody know his name?
You guys have 0 integrity and credibility. Unsubbed
Haters
HOLD THE L, You lost Doug, Sho Won
They had ohtani's phone so how can they not prove.....
How do i block Doug Gotlieb show but not Fox Sports Radio?
The 3 sound like the real frauds
Seems desperate. Sad day for haters.
One thing I think we’ve all come to realize is it doesn’t take much 🧠to be a sports media journalist.
Your filling in the blanks with false accusations, hope you don't believe in karma.
To the guy talking around 5:00. My understanding is that when Ippei was questioned about Ohtani's money sent to the bookmaker at first, he lied that Ohtani was covering up his friend. Later Ippei had to change his comment that friend was actually himself. The whole story was his making up at first place and he had to continue his lie. Ohtani felt something strange at the team meeting while Ippei was stating his false explanation in English. Then Ippei told Ohtani he wants to explain it at a hotel room. I am sure Ippei still tried to abuse his friendship to convince Ohtani in a hotel room to go along with his cover up lie. Ohtani waited till they get back to the hotel, then as he listened to Ippei's story in a room, he realised something really wrong is happening. That's when he called other team staff and they realised all Ippei's lie. In a way, it was team's fault that they questioned about this only to Ippei without asking Ohtani directly. I guess they got used to talking to Ohtani only through Ippei too much.
"What the Feds are choosing to give us". Freakin conspiracy theories. What do you expect from Fox?
Don't know who your source is, but gambling is illegal in Japan. There are loopholes in the law which allow some sort of gambling such as horseracing and pachinko. Since the late 2010s, Japanese government has been trying hard to legalize gambling to increase revenue (through tourism through development of casinos), but because most of the public is fearful of gambling addictions, this has stalled. While it is common for Japanese people to travel abroad (i.e. Las Vegas) to entertain gambling, very rarely is gambling accepted as a legitimate hobby as in the case here in the US.
There is no proof that Ohtani bet or didn't bet himself.
However, if you ask a common Japanese person (and also look at how the Japanese media is covering this story), you will find out that gambling has a very negative image in Japan. A superstar in Japan with multiple endorsements would not risk damaging his/her reputation.
Furthermore, I would go far as to say that if Ohtani had known about the gambling addiction to Ippei, he would have never hired him (or fired him upon knowing). Companies in often Japan keep profiles of employees with gambling issues because of the risks associated with embezzlement.
APOLOGIZE TO OHTANI
That deferment theory is pure idiocy. The dude makes 50M a year in endorsements. How that jibe with starving a gambling problem away by deferring his salary?
StFU and appologize.
Why question the feds? What would they gain by an Ohtani coverup?
The “cynical” guys recollection of the stories doesn’t add up. He’s got his own version of the stories. The story was that Ohtani and his advisors (to include his agent and lawyers) did not authorize or were aware that Ippei was talking to the media. Also for the clubhouse meeting, the story was that Ohtani had a shocked look on his face when Ippei was confessing. Also witnesses say Ohtani immediately got with Ippei and began having a lot of questions. Mr “cynical” guy - get your facts and stories straight. Mr. “cynical”
Omg are these Trumpers? 😂😂😂
They definitely think Covid is fake and they drink bleach when they get sick 😂
Since your opinion seems to differ from the findings of the feds - who based them on evidence they gathered - maybe you should start your own investigation, gottlieb.
Yall Embarrassing
Dude, you ain’t a skeptic, you’re a conspiracy theorist!
Every conspiracy theorist thinks they’re somehow smarter and more knowledgeable than actual experts! 😂
Oh here we go… you wore your tinfoil hat as long as you could and as everyone with a normal brain predicted, you were wrong. Go ahead and apologize.
In the age of MAGA Trump, some of us just refuse to believe facts.
Shame on you guys. You guys just lost all your credibility by double down on your conspiracy . You have IRS , homeland security and FBI just cleared Ohtani but you guys just keep going. Show some compassion to a man who just got ripped off $16m
Yeah when we get idiots on the radio like this i tune out. Forever avoiding fox. Good job guys .
here we go another accusation
Who are these guys anyway? I believe these guys can’t read English though they seem to be speaking the language😂
They aren’t great at reading or speaking English
This guy (whoever he is) is going to say the same thing right before he dies.
If only Fox questioned and investigated honestly their God Donald this same way.
Hope you guys get sued 😂
Angels couldn't know his gambling as well, although they understood English.
I stopped listening when Doug said he didn’t have the details
The guy in the background sounds nuts.
lmao "by somebody's authority". The guy has no authority over his own body? I guess he's an android. THEY DID DEEP INVESTIGATION - IP ADDRESSES, PHONE Signatures, TEXTS, ETC.
Jesus. I am finally noticing how much our American educational system has failed us.
That’s some sweet tasting haterade
Yall got brains size of peas
i seriously do not know what kind of logic you guys have. You really want to believe what exactly? That Shohei really knew what was going on, that he is the gambler and that Ippei is the fall guy? Soooo...what that means is, you believe someone who is at the very least a PROVEN LIAR in many ways from work experience, to educational background, etc etc over Ohtani who has absolutely no record of telling lies AND who has been covered by the media EXTENSIVELY since he was a kid and there are plenty of interviews from family, coaches, teammates, teachers, etc. who can attest to his character and who by the way has a history since he started earning money of having other people handle his money, and all he cares about is baseball. REALLY. Also, somehow, you would believe that several Government agencies from the FBI, IRS Crimes Unit, Homeland Security, DOJ, would all collude with MLB, agree to set up Ippei as the fall guy because they want to protect Ohtani??? SERIOUSLY??? You guys think the government cares a lot about baseball? Ohtani is somehow such an important figure and matter so much to the wellbeing of the country that the government must step in and create this conspiracy. RIGGGGHHHHHHTTTTTTT. So let's just say that what you want to believe is true - Ohtani is the gambler and Ippei is just a fall guy. The amount is $16 nillion and while that is a lot of money for most, that seems extremely small to motivate several offices of the government/law enforcement to conspire and collude so as to make Ohtani appear innocent and set up a fall guy. Can you stop and listen to yourselves and really think this through?? OH...another thing..are you having people also believe that the audio evidences that the FEDS found of Ippei making bets, even admitting to stealing from Ohtani are all made up??? RIGGGGHHHHHHT.
Doug has more integrity than anyone else in sports. Everyone just want Shohei to be in the clear so they can enjoy his career again so they are willing to buy this obviously cooked up story.
When everyone on media and YT creator asked for ohtani's explanain about the gambling issue, ohtani gave an explanation about the issue, then you 3 little idiots and some reactors flooded hate on youtube for weeks, as if you knew everything. You hate the guy, then the truth came out, and you are WRONG! is it fair to apologize? don't use this flatform to speak whatever you want to say to the point you destroy not only the person but his reputation as an athlete. you nearly destroy ohtani. APOLOGIZE!
The only thing I absolutely can NOT believe is that Ohtani never knew his interpreter was betting. He made nineteen thousand bets in twenty months for gosh sakes!!!
Read the document. It is not that hard to do then you will understand. Thousand of text messages between Ohtani and Ippei and not one mentioned betting wagering etc.. it is all in the document if you spent the time to read it.
The haters are in denial but will try to accuse him of something else, just to show their haterade.
so what happens to the loyalty points and bonus bets ??
Love this take
Thank you for finally acknowledging the cultural aspect of it.
I dont know if Ohtani did anything illegal. But because it is gambling and because of the history of baseball and gambling, there likely will be an effort to cleanse Ohtani as much as possible of what happened, even if Ohtani did, in fact, contributed to or at least allowed this to happen.
Who is this baffoon saying Shohei is part of this gambling , when the investigtion says no.
So the Federal investigators are going to put Ippei in prison for 25 years to protect Shohei ?
The one Video host have no evidence to support their opinion.
The salary deferment conspiracy is just straight fantasy. Shohei is making an estimated $40 million from endorsements alone. He's getting Aaron judge type money before accounting for his actual salary.
they didnt explain everything. they should get the whole report.
A belated Happy Birthday to all those born yesterday
You guys are gettin slammed rn😂
Kudos to the interpreter for keeping his entire financial team in the dark ! He fooled them all when his accountants did his taxes every year !
Bruh gambling is not a big part of Japanese culture maybe Chinese but in Japan it’s literally illegal to gamble and it’s a much bigger taboo than in usa. Pachinko is legalized and some people bet on mahjong but it’s highly highly stigmatized. Don’t pretend to be an expert on other cultures if you don’t know them
Flat Earth mentality right here.
