WEBVTT - Eddie & Rocky -- 10/24/25 0:00:00.880 --> 0:00:04.640 And excited to talk to our next guest here, Richard 0:00:04.640 --> 0:00:08.480 Skinner of course Local twelve and Skinny. We got to 0:00:08.520 --> 0:00:12.400 ask you first about this NBA the gambling situation. It's 0:00:12.440 --> 0:00:15.720 kind of a two parter. It's there's Chauncey Billups and 0:00:15.840 --> 0:00:18.759 his involvement with some high stakes poker games or there's 0:00:18.760 --> 0:00:21.400 some cheating and some ext ray glasses and stuff. And 0:00:21.440 --> 0:00:24.160 then there was a second part of it with that 0:00:24.480 --> 0:00:28.200 has to deal with Terry Razira player possibly using some 0:00:28.280 --> 0:00:35.320 inside information, possibly you know, playing not playing to affect align. Well, 0:00:35.360 --> 0:00:36.720 what's your overall thoughts on this. 0:00:38.440 --> 0:00:41.160 It's probably the tip of the iceberg. And I'm gonna 0:00:41.159 --> 0:00:43.640 guess there are some players and maybe coaches and whoever 0:00:43.680 --> 0:00:45.600 else that are probably very nervous. 0:00:45.280 --> 0:00:45.840 At the moment. 0:00:46.640 --> 0:00:49.160 Yeah, they are two separate situations because the Chauncey builds 0:00:49.200 --> 0:00:51.680 one was involving high stakes card games. 0:00:51.680 --> 0:00:52.800 That I mean, it is just it. 0:00:52.800 --> 0:00:55.920 It's right out of like James Bond and and Mission 0:00:55.920 --> 0:00:59.800 Impossible in every kind of weird movie you can think of. Yeah, 0:01:00.040 --> 0:01:01.960 he was involved in I say's card games with the mafia. 0:01:02.040 --> 0:01:06.360 Terroo Zier was just was gambling on it on himself 0:01:06.440 --> 0:01:08.560 for lack of better fan giving information to others. So 0:01:08.560 --> 0:01:10.440 what he would do would be and I for those 0:01:10.440 --> 0:01:14.360 who maybe aren't don't know, most every wet betting site 0:01:14.360 --> 0:01:16.160 out there, you can do the following things on players. 0:01:16.200 --> 0:01:18.200 They have player props, like they'll set a number for 0:01:19.080 --> 0:01:21.959 I'm just gonna throw. I'll throw Steph Curry out there 0:01:22.280 --> 0:01:25.360 for Steph Curry tonight score twenty five points or more, 0:01:25.640 --> 0:01:28.720 and to have eight assists or more, to make three 0:01:28.800 --> 0:01:30.880 three pointers or more. And if a guy knows he's 0:01:30.920 --> 0:01:32.600 not gonna play, or he figures he can make a 0:01:32.680 --> 0:01:34.200 quick cash pay day out of this and get some 0:01:34.200 --> 0:01:36.600 buddies and get his his posse, you know, some some 0:01:36.680 --> 0:01:39.160 coin along with it, he may say, oh, five minutes 0:01:39.160 --> 0:01:40.679 in the game, I've got an alley and he has 0:01:40.720 --> 0:01:43.119 told all those players all my props spent them under 0:01:43.600 --> 0:01:46.440 the probert these guys is this. They're doing it legal 0:01:46.440 --> 0:01:49.600 websites and in legal ways that raise red flags, like 0:01:49.640 --> 0:01:52.800 you normally wouldn't have all these bets on this player 0:01:53.000 --> 0:01:56.920 for under props, and so they're they're actually stupid to 0:01:57.040 --> 0:02:00.280 do it because it's easy to flag it. Remember we 0:02:00.360 --> 0:02:04.400 had the betting scandal that involved a couple of members 0:02:04.440 --> 0:02:07.200 of UC's baseball program titles Alabama, where they walked into 0:02:07.240 --> 0:02:10.120 the then bet MGM sportsbook downtown and put a bunch 0:02:10.160 --> 0:02:12.960 of money on an Alabama random Alabama Friday night baseball game, 0:02:13.000 --> 0:02:15.320 betting against them, and the flag was wait a minute, 0:02:15.320 --> 0:02:18.520 nobody bets on college baseball, Nobody bets on Alabama and Cincinnati. 0:02:18.720 --> 0:02:21.240 Nobody bets this amount of money on Alabam in Cincinnati, 0:02:21.400 --> 0:02:22.799 and so it raised the red flag. So I think 0:02:22.800 --> 0:02:26.880 those are good things, but I do think this is 0:02:26.880 --> 0:02:28.760 the tip of the iceberg because I just imagine there 0:02:28.800 --> 0:02:31.079 are some others out there that are going to get dragged. 0:02:30.880 --> 0:02:31.560 Into this as well. 0:02:32.520 --> 0:02:35.040 Yeah, and guys, we've been talking about this all along. 0:02:36.360 --> 0:02:38.480 What now. 0:02:39.600 --> 0:02:42.639 Forget about it. It's national sports betting is now allowed. 0:02:42.680 --> 0:02:46.760 It's pervasive in our society. And did we not think 0:02:46.800 --> 0:02:49.680 this wasn't going to happen? The money of the temptation 0:02:49.880 --> 0:02:50.480 is too. 0:02:50.280 --> 0:02:54.919 World, Guys, the temptation it's so easy, I know, but 0:02:55.000 --> 0:02:57.240 it's easy to get caught, Yeah for sure. 0:02:58.560 --> 0:02:58.760 Well. 0:02:58.840 --> 0:03:01.240 The thing is, I think it's a lot of these 0:03:01.240 --> 0:03:05.840 players come from nothing, right, they get the big money, 0:03:05.880 --> 0:03:08.720 and you know, Antoine Walker, an NBA player conformer Kentucky 0:03:08.720 --> 0:03:12.240 player gambled his whole career earnings away. I mean, it 0:03:12.280 --> 0:03:14.480 was a shame. He made eighty million his career and 0:03:14.520 --> 0:03:17.440 he gambled it all away. But then you have you 0:03:17.520 --> 0:03:19.520 have your boys, right, I mean we all have our 0:03:19.560 --> 0:03:23.200 guys we grew up with and maybe still hang around with. 0:03:23.240 --> 0:03:25.919 I mean, I know friendships change over lifetimes, but there's 0:03:25.919 --> 0:03:28.920 still your crew, and your crew has nothing and you 0:03:29.000 --> 0:03:30.640 have everything, and you have a way to get your 0:03:30.639 --> 0:03:32.280 crew a little a little bag of cash. 0:03:32.480 --> 0:03:33.480 Yep, you're gonna tell. 0:03:33.360 --> 0:03:34.639 Your crew, Hey, you three four guys. 0:03:34.680 --> 0:03:36.520 Man, I'm gonna sit this one out or I'm only 0:03:36.520 --> 0:03:37.520 gonna play five minutes. 0:03:37.720 --> 0:03:39.640 And it might be true. Maybe he did have an alley. 0:03:39.920 --> 0:03:42.080 Nobody knew it but you, and you're like, I'm just 0:03:42.200 --> 0:03:44.600 I'm hurt enough to where I can pull this off. Guys, 0:03:44.600 --> 0:03:46.640 just everybody go back the under. But again, when everybody 0:03:46.640 --> 0:03:50.000 goes and does it and it raises the red flag, 0:03:50.040 --> 0:03:51.680 it's just stupid because it's going to. 0:03:51.720 --> 0:03:55.440 Raise the red flag, all right, and it is. It's 0:03:55.560 --> 0:03:58.520 it's the greediness of it. It's you know, if if 0:03:58.560 --> 0:04:02.480 you only told one buddy, or if that buddy didn't bet, 0:04:02.600 --> 0:04:05.960 you know, twenty thousand dollars or some big number on 0:04:06.400 --> 0:04:09.480 some odd obscure prop bet. It probably wouldn't show up 0:04:09.520 --> 0:04:11.920 if you had a little discipline. But I mean that's 0:04:12.000 --> 0:04:13.960 usually what gets people. You know, you probably do it 0:04:13.960 --> 0:04:16.720 a couple of times. You're like, well, you don't look 0:04:16.720 --> 0:04:19.760 at it like I'm I'm winning five hundred bucks. You 0:04:19.800 --> 0:04:22.359 look at like I'm losing ten thousand, because if I 0:04:22.440 --> 0:04:24.520 just bet a little more, it's a sure thing, Like 0:04:24.880 --> 0:04:26.159 what am I doing here? Right? 0:04:27.040 --> 0:04:30.200 Yep, that's right. I Mean, we saw a player get 0:04:30.200 --> 0:04:33.520 banned from the NBA for life in the offseason because 0:04:33.520 --> 0:04:37.920 of these type of things, and I don't think they'll stop, 0:04:38.360 --> 0:04:40.520 or maybe they will. Maybe players will finally realize that 0:04:40.680 --> 0:04:43.359 they're thinking of doing this, like no, man, this is 0:04:43.400 --> 0:04:46.080 too easy for me to get caught by doing it, 0:04:46.360 --> 0:04:48.920 you know, betting it legally. And I think that's a 0:04:48.960 --> 0:04:51.120 good part of the legal betting is you can you know, 0:04:51.200 --> 0:04:53.599 raise the red flags on these where we've had we've 0:04:53.600 --> 0:04:56.240 had point shaving scandals going back to the nineteen fifties 0:04:56.279 --> 0:05:00.000 in sports, primarily in college basketball. You know, we had 0:05:00.279 --> 0:05:03.520 fifties and sixties, we had the Boston College points shaving 0:05:03.560 --> 0:05:05.800 scandal in the early nineteen eighties. We had Steven had 0:05:05.839 --> 0:05:08.120 eight Smith at Arizona State in the nineteen nineties. They 0:05:08.120 --> 0:05:10.560 were doing it illegally, but it raised enough of red 0:05:10.560 --> 0:05:12.760 flags where they were betting or somebody was being laid off, 0:05:12.839 --> 0:05:15.680 like you're you're gonna get caught. I mean, you just are. 0:05:16.680 --> 0:05:16.920 Yeah. 0:05:16.920 --> 0:05:19.440 Well, and I did see this somewhere. Somebody said, like, 0:05:19.839 --> 0:05:24.440 what was the first year of baseball, like eighteen seventy 0:05:24.440 --> 0:05:27.400 seven or something like that. Yeah, but the first year 0:05:27.440 --> 0:05:31.320 of people, you know, a gambling scandal in baseball was 0:05:31.360 --> 0:05:34.080 like eighteen seventy eight, like like the next year, So 0:05:34.120 --> 0:05:37.800 it's going on for kind of forever. So yeah, but 0:05:38.040 --> 0:05:41.320 you're right with it being legalized. I think that that 0:05:41.440 --> 0:05:43.640 helps a little bit more of the checks and balances. 0:05:43.680 --> 0:05:47.200 But I also just think with how how easily done 0:05:47.200 --> 0:05:50.599 it is. And also I think also players like like 0:05:50.640 --> 0:05:53.320 when I played, it was like you don't even you 0:05:53.320 --> 0:05:56.040 don't even go there at all, like you, I mean, 0:05:56.080 --> 0:05:57.880 they would they would talk all the time. Once a year, 0:05:57.920 --> 0:06:00.200 there'd be a big meeting. We're like told stay away 0:06:00.200 --> 0:06:02.640 from gambling, don't even think about it, don't look at it. Well, 0:06:02.680 --> 0:06:06.000 now these leagues and these teams are in bed with 0:06:06.040 --> 0:06:09.440 these betting agencies. So I think the player goes, you know, 0:06:09.560 --> 0:06:12.520 it seems like it's kind of you know, kind of kosher. Now, 0:06:12.560 --> 0:06:15.400 And what's what's it heard? If I I'm already gonna 0:06:15.400 --> 0:06:17.599 be out the game anyway, it's I'm not lying. So 0:06:17.640 --> 0:06:19.360 if I tell a couple buddies, they make a couple 0:06:19.360 --> 0:06:22.719 of bucks, everybody wins. But that's that's how bad things start. 0:06:23.760 --> 0:06:25.640 Yes, indeed, we're talking. 0:06:25.400 --> 0:06:28.880 To Richard Skinner and skinny switching gears here. Let's talk 0:06:28.880 --> 0:06:30.120 about that poker thing. 0:06:31.000 --> 0:06:31.240 Now. 0:06:31.360 --> 0:06:35.640 When you get the mafia involved, guys, stuff gets real. 0:06:36.080 --> 0:06:39.800 As we say on the street, and I've heard some 0:06:39.880 --> 0:06:43.320 guys talking today, and it makes sense. Do you do 0:06:43.440 --> 0:06:47.120 we think that maybe Chauncey Billups did one thing a 0:06:47.160 --> 0:06:51.120 little favor for the mafia and then they go, we 0:06:51.279 --> 0:06:54.320 got you, so here's what we need you. 0:06:54.360 --> 0:06:58.640 To do for us, right, yeah, no that And now 0:06:58.640 --> 0:07:02.160 he is staunchly, through an attorney, denied all of this, 0:07:02.520 --> 0:07:05.120 and so you know, at the moment you take him 0:07:05.120 --> 0:07:07.240 at his worries and this is until proven guilty. But 0:07:07.360 --> 0:07:10.000 you can see how something like that happens like you 0:07:10.080 --> 0:07:13.240 are betting illegally. Maybe he wasn't. But if somehow they 0:07:13.240 --> 0:07:14.920 find a way to get their hooks into you, like 0:07:14.920 --> 0:07:17.160 the Boston College scandal. I don't know if you guys 0:07:17.160 --> 0:07:19.240 have seen it. ESPN years ago did a thirty for 0:07:19.320 --> 0:07:21.239 thirty on it. I just was on he other morning, 0:07:21.360 --> 0:07:23.240 on a Sunday morning, I watched it again. It just 0:07:23.320 --> 0:07:27.720 still fascinates me. You know, they scared these kids into Hey, man, 0:07:27.840 --> 0:07:29.920 we paid you. Now you're into us, and now you 0:07:29.960 --> 0:07:32.400 can't turn back this. We already made you dirty, and 0:07:32.440 --> 0:07:34.840 you got to keep doing this, and you just keep 0:07:34.920 --> 0:07:36.480 digging a hole and digging a hole and digging a 0:07:36.480 --> 0:07:40.120 hole till finally the FBI busted busted that up and 0:07:40.920 --> 0:07:45.200 got some mob asolitiates along with it. So that's the thing, man, 0:07:45.320 --> 0:07:47.720 if their hooks are into you, you're probably you're in 0:07:47.720 --> 0:07:49.640 a tough spot. I'll tell you it's an easy spot 0:07:49.680 --> 0:07:51.679 to be in. But you know, if that's the case, 0:07:51.880 --> 0:07:54.600 it seems like they they had their hooks into some people. 0:07:54.600 --> 0:07:56.360 For whatever reasons, they were able to have these guys 0:07:56.360 --> 0:07:58.880 recruit high end, high end players who would then come 0:07:58.880 --> 0:07:59.600 and lose the money. 0:08:00.080 --> 0:08:02.760 Richard Skinner's our guests, and Skinny real quick, I did 0:08:02.800 --> 0:08:06.400 want to talk some Bengals. So the Jets are starting 0:08:06.560 --> 0:08:10.960 likely Tyrod Taylor, Sauce Garters out, Garrett Wilson's out. This 0:08:11.040 --> 0:08:17.360 is already own seventeen. No way the Bengals gonna lose this, right, Skinny, Well, I'm. 0:08:17.240 --> 0:08:19.440 Never gonna say that again because I know I literally 0:08:19.480 --> 0:08:21.840 said that on your show and on most show last 0:08:21.920 --> 0:08:25.640 year before the Patriots game, like there's no way there 0:08:25.720 --> 0:08:27.640 is a way if they don't tackle better. I mean, 0:08:27.640 --> 0:08:30.960 if you have another poor tackling game and somehow that 0:08:31.040 --> 0:08:33.439 lets the Jets rudloff the hook a few times, or 0:08:33.920 --> 0:08:36.040 if Justin Field gets in the game and you know 0:08:36.080 --> 0:08:38.240 he takes a read option eighty yards for a touchdown 0:08:38.400 --> 0:08:41.559 only because you didn't tackle. That part would scare you 0:08:41.640 --> 0:08:43.640 a little bit, you know. Quinn Williams upfronts of dude. 0:08:43.679 --> 0:08:45.800 I mean, he is literally a dude, and so you 0:08:45.880 --> 0:08:48.400 have to account for him. But I mean, this Jets offense, 0:08:48.800 --> 0:08:50.439 I got a chance obviously this past Sunday because the 0:08:50.440 --> 0:08:52.240 Bengal was played on Thursday night. To do with the 0:08:52.280 --> 0:08:53.880 rest of America, does I put my feet up and 0:08:53.880 --> 0:08:55.920 watch red zone, and every time they would go to 0:08:55.920 --> 0:08:58.160 that Jets Panthers game, I'm watching Tyrod Taylor and make 0:08:58.200 --> 0:09:01.520 one horrific pass after another, and they just look awful. 0:09:01.840 --> 0:09:04.000 And then you take the best receiver on that team 0:09:04.040 --> 0:09:06.240 by a mile, in Garrett Wilson, out of the mix, 0:09:06.520 --> 0:09:09.000 and you take a Pro Bowl caliber cornerback out of 0:09:09.000 --> 0:09:11.679 the mix, you know that that's one of the read 0:09:11.840 --> 0:09:12.840 They're a winless team. 0:09:12.720 --> 0:09:13.080 For a reason. 0:09:13.160 --> 0:09:15.120 I will tell you just so you know. They lose 0:09:15.160 --> 0:09:17.480 the Broncos thirteen to eleven. They had minus ten yards 0:09:17.480 --> 0:09:19.680 passing in that game. By the way, they lost earliest 0:09:19.720 --> 0:09:21.200 year of the Jets by two. They only lost that 0:09:21.200 --> 0:09:24.160 Panthers game, but they made multiple chances to drive down 0:09:24.160 --> 0:09:26.280 and tie it. So they're not far away. And I 0:09:26.280 --> 0:09:28.960 think those are the scary teams. But I just think 0:09:28.960 --> 0:09:32.280 with the Bengals from a confidence standpois at least offensively, 0:09:33.120 --> 0:09:35.240 it's got to be at at a very high level. 0:09:35.320 --> 0:09:38.440 Right now, this would be a game. Get that lead early, 0:09:38.480 --> 0:09:41.800 get up fourteen to nothing, fourteen to three, because I 0:09:41.800 --> 0:09:43.640 think a team that's winless at that points goes, yeah, 0:09:43.640 --> 0:09:45.240 well was us. Let's finish this thing off and get 0:09:45.240 --> 0:09:46.720 the hell on the plane and go back home. So 0:09:47.679 --> 0:09:49.640 don't let them hang around. And that's kind of what 0:09:49.640 --> 0:09:51.199 the kind of what the Patriots did last year that 0:09:51.240 --> 0:09:52.680 over they just kind of hung around and hung around, 0:09:52.679 --> 0:09:54.160 and you felt like the Bengals were gonna stap out 0:09:54.160 --> 0:09:56.200 of it, and they never did. I just think this 0:09:56.240 --> 0:09:59.199 team really looked at this three game stretch, even though 0:09:59.200 --> 0:10:02.400 they talk about we take a game to games as 0:10:02.440 --> 0:10:04.200 the stretch to kind of write the ship a little 0:10:04.200 --> 0:10:05.840 bit here before the bye week, and and I don't 0:10:05.840 --> 0:10:07.480 think they're gonna let that opportunity pass by. 0:10:07.600 --> 0:10:10.560 Well, Skinny, I totally agree with your point where about tackling. 0:10:10.559 --> 0:10:13.000 That's probably been the lack of tackling or the poor 0:10:13.080 --> 0:10:16.480 tackling has been probably the most consistent thing in every 0:10:16.600 --> 0:10:19.800 Bengals game this year. So that's got to be good. 0:10:19.840 --> 0:10:22.080 But also, I mean, do you'd like the for the 0:10:22.080 --> 0:10:25.240 Bengals to have consecutive weeks running the ball better? 0:10:25.320 --> 0:10:25.400 Right? 0:10:25.480 --> 0:10:27.920 Finally that run game got going against Pittsburgh. You'd like 0:10:27.960 --> 0:10:29.880 to see him do that again here this week? 0:10:31.000 --> 0:10:33.640 Yeah, So I wrote a story on that yesterday of 0:10:33.679 --> 0:10:36.080 you know how that the reasons why they kind of 0:10:36.120 --> 0:10:38.200 unlock things and can't it continue. But it was funny 0:10:38.200 --> 0:10:40.480 when I'd ask I have Zach in a press conference. 0:10:40.520 --> 0:10:43.240 I asked Dan Pitcher, the offensive coordinator. He has a 0:10:43.280 --> 0:10:46.760 session with the writers once a week, and you know, 0:10:46.840 --> 0:10:49.800 they really didn't pinpoint it as any one specific thing. 0:10:49.880 --> 0:10:52.280 It was. It was, you know, one play, we did this, 0:10:52.360 --> 0:10:54.200 another play some of us. The pass game helped open 0:10:54.200 --> 0:10:56.400 things up, getting under center a little bit more, I 0:10:56.400 --> 0:10:58.440 think helped the run game. Wasn't all the runs from 0:10:58.520 --> 0:11:00.600 under center somewhere from the gun, but seemed like they 0:11:00.720 --> 0:11:03.440 got a little momentum from going under center and and 0:11:03.520 --> 0:11:07.800 popping one. You know, is it the combination of Dalton 0:11:07.840 --> 0:11:10.080 Riiser at left guard and Jalen Rivers at right guard 0:11:10.080 --> 0:11:11.800 and you know, for a second straight week, is that 0:11:11.880 --> 0:11:14.000 settled things down? Although I don't think I be honestly, 0:11:14.040 --> 0:11:16.080 I think Jyllan Fairchild's gonna start on Sunday in place 0:11:16.080 --> 0:11:19.120 at Dalton Riser, so they're switching left guard again. You know, 0:11:19.160 --> 0:11:20.959 I kind of would rather go with the hot hand, 0:11:20.960 --> 0:11:22.880 but yeah, I mean that's the thing. Is this just 0:11:22.920 --> 0:11:25.560 a one off? Was Pittsburgh's defense that bad? Or did 0:11:25.600 --> 0:11:27.880 you indeed finally unlock something in the run game? I 0:11:27.880 --> 0:11:29.520 think we're gonna find out because that's again, that's a 0:11:29.559 --> 0:11:31.520 good that's a good Jets defensive front. 0:11:32.360 --> 0:11:35.439 All right, well, Skinny, we will see what happens. And 0:11:35.920 --> 0:11:38.280 Rock and I talked to we do every Thursday, to 0:11:38.400 --> 0:11:42.320 Jason Hoffman, and he is the sports editor for The Inquiry, 0:11:42.320 --> 0:11:44.800 as we all know, and I was telling him. I 0:11:44.840 --> 0:11:47.520 was like, okay, flacoh maitea, we get it. But now 0:11:47.559 --> 0:11:52.200 we know, uh where Flacco eats. Uh, we know basically 0:11:52.200 --> 0:11:56.440 what kind of toilet paper he uses where, Uh he's 0:11:56.760 --> 0:11:59.800 novels right, his favorite authors. 0:12:00.440 --> 0:12:00.560 Uh. 0:12:01.160 --> 0:12:04.400 We know everything we could possibly know about Joe Flaco. 0:12:05.080 --> 0:12:07.839 So uh, let's hope that that continues and we get 0:12:07.880 --> 0:12:11.880 to learn more and more about our QB with that skill. 0:12:12.160 --> 0:12:21.800 You thanks buddy, Thanks our good friend Richard Skinner Local twelve. 0:12:22.600 --> 0:12:25.840 And I loved giving Hoffmann crap about that, because again 0:12:25.960 --> 0:12:28.080 every day it's does he like Skyline? 0:12:28.559 --> 0:12:31.560 Does he? But that that one in particular, that that 0:12:31.720 --> 0:12:36.640 is such a Cincinnati thing. Is you know, like did you? Okay, 0:12:37.000 --> 0:12:39.520 we kind of like you, But here here's this, this 0:12:39.559 --> 0:12:42.440 is the be all and on. Do you like Skyliner? 0:12:42.480 --> 0:12:45.800 Gold Star? Have you ever eaten Greater's ice Cream? And 0:12:45.840 --> 0:12:48.120 if you say no or I don't like him, then 0:12:48.200 --> 0:12:48.480 out of. 0:12:48.520 --> 0:12:52.600 Hell with your bum bum get the hell out.
