1. Rap mogul Brian "Baby" Williams, also known as "Birdman," reportedly lost $2 million after betting on the Miami Heat in the NBA Finals. What can we learn from this?
Michael Philbrick: I think we all know that anything involving a slam dunk and a Birdman just don't mix.
Dave Wilson: Well, Birdman reportedly just bought an $8 million Mayback Exelero to add to his $2.1 million Bugatti Veyron and $1.5 million Maybach Landaulet. So it just means he had too much money to begin with.
Jim Caple: Apparently, Birdman is also the financial adviser for the McCourts and Fred Wilpon.
Thomas Neumann: He made a rookie mistake betting big on the NBA Finals. Everyone knows the smart money in South Florida is wagered on youth football.
DJ Gallo: There's a rumor that Mark Cuban's bar tab was $200,000 Sunday night. So I think the lesson is this: try to be a mogul or billionaire; then you can just throw money around like it's nothing. Read More

He touched first base after the ball was caught, returned to the dugout and left the game. Read More
