16
00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:56,560
Speaker 3: Let's just hope our show doesn't resemble the Boston Celtics

17
00:00:56,560 --> 00:00:59,440
Speaker 3: ISO offense, because otherwise, to be a rough one, guys,

18
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:03,920
Speaker 3: otherwise I'm doing fantastic Brian Crack, how are you this

19
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:04,560
Speaker 3: war anybuddy?

20
00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:12,520
Speaker 4: Okay, I'm more happy. That's a very terminology that Brian is. Okay,

21
00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:17,560
Speaker 4: you know, for people that don't know. On Monday, I

22
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:22,080
Speaker 4: took Brian over to a hot dog event we had

23
00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:24,840
Speaker 4: here in town twice a year, all different hot dogs

24
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:29,080
Speaker 4: from different places, different kind of styles in New York, Philly, Chicago,

25
00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:34,200
Speaker 4: of course. And three hours, four hours later, I get

26
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:38,360
Speaker 4: a text in the emergency room, what, wow, you know,

27
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:42,160
Speaker 4: it's funny, Jeff. So this hot dog place is like

28
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:49,480
Speaker 4: the who's who of town, influential bookmaking, book makers, not fortune,

29
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:55,160
Speaker 4: five hundred guys. So yeah, and literally Brian, out of

30
00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:58,280
Speaker 4: the sixty people that showed up, is probably the guy

31
00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:02,400
Speaker 4: in the best physical shape out of anyone there. So

32
00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:07,559
Speaker 4: it didn't make any sense to me. Some people thought

33
00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:10,520
Speaker 4: it was a hoax, but I was more impressed with

34
00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:13,799
Speaker 4: he doesn't know this shit. The six hundred that's right,

35
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:21,000
Speaker 4: six hundred responses on Facebook. I don't have sixty friends,

36
00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:25,560
Speaker 4: Brian's got six hundred, so people wishing him well. And

37
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:28,040
Speaker 4: you're doing okay on Brian.

38
00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:31,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm good. I appreciate that crack good stuff. I

39
00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:33,919
Speaker 2: love everything that you said. But that was just wild.

40
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:34,280
Speaker 4: Yeah.

41
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:39,079
Speaker 2: I was at this lunch event and I told my girlfriend,

42
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:41,240
Speaker 2: who was there with us, I was like, I don't

43
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:43,040
Speaker 2: know what's going on with my left side. You know,

44
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:46,000
Speaker 2: my left arm's just heavy. My hand was starting to

45
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:48,640
Speaker 2: cramp up. And then when we left the event, we

46
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:52,560
Speaker 2: went to go to a shirt store like men's warehouse.

47
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:55,320
Speaker 2: I needed to grab a couple of shirts, and my

48
00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:58,120
Speaker 2: left leg was going weird, you know, it was just

49
00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:02,480
Speaker 2: super like just weak, and so I hit up my

50
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:04,240
Speaker 2: sister and she was like, yeah, you need to get

51
00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:07,359
Speaker 2: checked out right away. And luckily I went in and

52
00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:11,520
Speaker 2: when it was happening, they were able to sort of

53
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:14,880
Speaker 2: counteract it. But it was just wild for a while there.

54
00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:17,679
Speaker 2: It was I don't know how to explain that yet.

55
00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:21,440
Speaker 4: What was your actual diagnosis? Are you at Liberty to

56
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:22,520
Speaker 4: men or whatever?

57
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:25,919
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was a stroke. They're not sure why yet.

58
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:28,000
Speaker 2: They're trying to figure out why, and they're going to

59
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:30,680
Speaker 2: run some tests and do some other things going forward.

60
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:34,680
Speaker 2: But the funny thing though, Crack is I went to

61
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:39,480
Speaker 2: urgent care and got checked out and the guy initially

62
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:42,120
Speaker 2: he goes, you need your blood work done, so you

63
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:43,840
Speaker 2: need a family doctor, Like, I don't even have a

64
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:46,119
Speaker 2: family doctor. I'm in pretty good health so I don't

65
00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:50,840
Speaker 2: even know that. And he's like, yeah, get your blood

66
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:54,880
Speaker 2: drawn so it'll reveal more. It'll help a doctor understand

67
00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:57,520
Speaker 2: what's really going on here. And he said, just get

68
00:03:57,520 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 2: that done, and then he left the room. He came

69
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:02,160
Speaker 2: came back and he did a few more tests and

70
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:04,360
Speaker 2: he was like, you know what, and he said, you know,

71
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:06,960
Speaker 2: if you go to the er, it's minimum of one

72
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:09,200
Speaker 2: thousand dollars when he stepped foot in that place. So

73
00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:11,640
Speaker 2: don't worry. Just find a family doctor, get your blood

74
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:14,000
Speaker 2: work done. And then when he came back, he completely

75
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:16,640
Speaker 2: changed his tune and I should have known then something

76
00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:18,279
Speaker 2: was going on. He was like, you know what, just

77
00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:20,599
Speaker 2: go to the er. It's better to go to the

78
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:24,240
Speaker 2: er right now and find out what's going on. It's

79
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:26,279
Speaker 2: gonna take you weeks, maybe a couple of months to

80
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:29,440
Speaker 2: find a family doctor, so just go there now, find

81
00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:32,880
Speaker 2: out what's going on. And I was like, okay. So

82
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:35,480
Speaker 2: I just went straight to the er and one of

83
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:38,040
Speaker 2: the er guys said, hey, we just got a note

84
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:41,280
Speaker 2: from urgent Care. Their doctor said he's having a stroke.

85
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:44,080
Speaker 2: And the guy's looking at me. He's like, they don't

86
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:47,160
Speaker 2: know what they're talking about. You're clearly not having a stroke.

87
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:50,719
Speaker 2: And it was very soon after that. It's exactly what

88
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:57,960
Speaker 2: was happening and strange. Yeah, in the er, I thought,

89
00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:00,680
Speaker 2: I thought about you crack where real fast?

90
00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:01,960
Speaker 4: I don't know.

91
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:04,760
Speaker 2: And this isn't to make light of a serious situation.

92
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:08,760
Speaker 2: I don't know what drug they gave me to basically

93
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:11,279
Speaker 2: as the er guy said, fix your face.

94
00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:11,680
Speaker 1: You know.

95
00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:17,400
Speaker 2: Later on they rattled off this drug and the potential

96
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:20,640
Speaker 2: side effects and they said there's a seventy percent chance

97
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:23,400
Speaker 2: all will be okay. And I thought about you, Wow,

98
00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:26,479
Speaker 2: racking gambling, ey, seventy percent. That's pretty good, man.

99
00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:31,359
Speaker 4: Good. Isn't that amazing what this town does to you

100
00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:35,760
Speaker 4: and this business does to you of this town's by

101
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:40,000
Speaker 4: the way, Jeff, where you are is unbelievable medical wise,

102
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:44,880
Speaker 4: by the way, Charlotte, here, all the doctors, the dentists,

103
00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:48,000
Speaker 4: the professionals in town, they just can't wait to get

104
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:50,080
Speaker 4: off to go back to the gambling they're doing. I'm

105
00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:52,120
Speaker 4: that serious, the doc I'm not trying to be funny.

106
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:58,240
Speaker 4: The doctors in this town are a joke capital j misdiagnosis.

107
00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:01,479
Speaker 4: I mean, the biggest thing going. Doctors are all gambling,

108
00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:06,800
Speaker 4: playing poker. They nobody cares. It's really a terrible town medically.

109
00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:09,840
Speaker 4: And look, look, look at look a look at him.

110
00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:11,400
Speaker 4: I mean, look what they said to him. They don't

111
00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:13,760
Speaker 4: even know. Yeah, you're fine, get block, where are you

112
00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:16,600
Speaker 4: better go? And then when he goes to a supposed

113
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:19,400
Speaker 4: better place and they tell him, nah, you got a

114
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:23,080
Speaker 4: seventy percent chance to be okay, likes. This is insane, insane.

115
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:26,920
Speaker 3: All I know is that you can place wagers from

116
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:29,160
Speaker 3: the emergency room, which I was. I just know that

117
00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:32,760
Speaker 3: that was allowed. Of course, because Brian we were texting,

118
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:36,080
Speaker 3: uh just throughout the days about all this NBA stuff,

119
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:38,080
Speaker 3: because I rely on Brian a lot with his NBA

120
00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:40,599
Speaker 3: a knowledge. And he said he's in the R. And

121
00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:43,000
Speaker 3: unlike when Cracks showed the story, I did wait a

122
00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:44,800
Speaker 3: little bit of time to talk about gambling. But I

123
00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:46,400
Speaker 3: think Brian said it to me first because I'm in

124
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:48,480
Speaker 3: the R. Man, I just made a first half wager

125
00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:52,640
Speaker 3: sitting I see you because I guess not much to do,

126
00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:55,240
Speaker 3: you know, just I think you hit the wager two

127
00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:57,480
Speaker 3: with the first half over. I think it was from

128
00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:00,479
Speaker 3: the e R. So I'm glad you're doing well.

129
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:02,200
Speaker 4: Good.

130
00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:04,200
Speaker 3: He went out a winner. I don't know if they

131
00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:06,680
Speaker 3: all won. It went sitting in the emergency room. But

132
00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:09,440
Speaker 3: I'm glad you're you're doing well, and uh yeah, I

133
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:12,440
Speaker 3: mean the thing about you know, I told practice, you know,

134
00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:14,880
Speaker 3: on a text, like you just the body man. You

135
00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:18,680
Speaker 3: never know, you just never you never know you could

136
00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:21,080
Speaker 3: be as healthy. And I still believe in obviously healthy

137
00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:23,560
Speaker 3: practices and trying to be something as possible, but in

138
00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:26,440
Speaker 3: the end, sometimes you just don't really know. And I'm

139
00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:28,160
Speaker 3: glad you're doing well though. Hopefully they figure it out

140
00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:32,880
Speaker 3: because it feels like you're important to figure out why, why,

141
00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:35,560
Speaker 3: as you know, as healthy as you are, that's happened,

142
00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:41,280
Speaker 3: and hopefully I'll answer for you soon. I didn't know.

143
00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:43,200
Speaker 3: I didn't know you posted about it on Facebook. I

144
00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:45,480
Speaker 3: don't have Facebook, and so I almost text you before

145
00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:47,320
Speaker 3: the show was like, hey, I'm not going to mention anything,

146
00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:49,600
Speaker 3: like if you don't want to mention it. You had

Speaker 3: I've been in three years. I have no idea and

150
00:07:57,840 --> 00:07:59,320

151
00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:01,560
Speaker 3: two fact, I don't know how to do it. Yeah,

152
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:04,000
Speaker 3: So well, I'm glad you mentioned it because I wasn't

153

155
00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:12,160
Speaker 2: I posted the same video on x as well. Uh

156
00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:15,400
Speaker 2: so it's it's living there too, Like Jokic came through

157
00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:18,640
Speaker 2: for me one of the bets. Okay, see didn't a

158
00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:21,720
Speaker 2: couple of times. But you know, we're flying away from

159
00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:23,880
Speaker 2: the ICU. You know, that's just what we do.

160
00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:27,720
Speaker 4: Hey, Brian, what Jeff SAIDs right? So yeah, I text

161
00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:30,640
Speaker 4: Jeff on Monday night or yeah, it was like it

162
00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:33,400
Speaker 4: was late late Monday night and he said, oh, yeah,

163
00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:35,760
Speaker 4: I know what's going on with Brian, but we're too

164
00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:38,240
Speaker 4: He actually used the word sickos. We're two sios. We're

165
00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:41,080
Speaker 4: talking about sports and what we're betting back and forth. Right,

166
00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:43,800
Speaker 4: I'm hoping the kid makes it, and he's just like.

167
00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:46,480
Speaker 3: Well it was a good distraction. Look, look, I don't

168
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:49,040
Speaker 3: know if you are. It's a lot of waiting, you know,

169
00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:50,840
Speaker 3: if you're like you're just kind of sitting waiting for

170
00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:53,079
Speaker 3: a test to be done and blood to be drawn.

171
00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:56,560
Speaker 3: I'm I'm like, so the family doctors think I have

172
00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:58,160
Speaker 3: a family doctor too, but I haven't seen it like

173
00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:00,000
Speaker 3: four years. I probably should see them for a physical,

174
00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:02,480
Speaker 3: but like, I don't really like same with you, bron

175
00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:04,559
Speaker 3: I don't really have like a primary care physician. I

176
00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:07,240
Speaker 3: mean I guess I do. I don't go. I don't.

177
00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:09,720
Speaker 3: Maybe we should go more often than get a bloodge

178
00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:12,360
Speaker 3: run and have them look at stuff. My wife's always like,

179
00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:14,480
Speaker 3: go to your physical. I'm fine. Why would I go

180
00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:16,880
Speaker 3: to a physical? Why don't eat my blood? I know

181
00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:19,720
Speaker 3: I'm eating too much. No one has to tell me that.

182
00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:23,120
Speaker 2: Get somebody else on that.

183
00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:26,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, sure so, but yeah, I mean, wow, what a process?

184
00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:31,080
Speaker 3: I my man.

185
00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:34,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, we pulled through. We're good. How about this? If

186
00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:36,360
Speaker 2: we uh, if we look at the NBA playoffs, we

187
00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:38,880
Speaker 2: dip our toe and the water's over there. Man, what

188
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:42,040
Speaker 2: a difference one game makes. Think of the Celtics Knicks

189
00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:45,360
Speaker 2: series where the Celtics dropped the first two games at

190
00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:48,439
Speaker 2: home and it's doom and gloom. You know, they can't

191
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:52,400
Speaker 2: buy a three. They were twenty for one hundred from

192
00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:55,160
Speaker 2: three point territory in the first two games, twenty for

193
00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:58,720
Speaker 2: one hundred, wow. And then yesterday against the Knicks the

194
00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:02,600
Speaker 2: Celtics were twenty for for from three and we're just

195
00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:04,079
Speaker 2: bombing away.

196
00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:04,319
Speaker 1: Man.

197
00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:07,240
Speaker 2: They're hitting deep shot after deep shot. And so this

198
00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:11,080
Speaker 2: series looks completely different after one game. And as great

199
00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:14,599
Speaker 2: as the Knicks look the first two games, huge comeback victories,

200
00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:19,160
Speaker 2: they lost yesterday by the widest margin. It tied the

201
00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:22,880
Speaker 2: worst home loss ever for the New York Knicks in

202
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:26,600
Speaker 2: playoff history. So it's like you go from riding high,

203
00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:28,720
Speaker 2: We've got two straight wins on the road to this

204
00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:33,480
Speaker 2: ties the biggest home playoff loss ever in franchise history.

205
00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:36,840
Speaker 2: And then you look at you look at the Celtics.

206
00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:39,960
Speaker 2: They've been a great road team in the playoffs for

207
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:43,480
Speaker 2: a while now, like historically great. So that's that's the

208
00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:46,640
Speaker 2: danger for the Celtics, for the the Knicks going forward

209
00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:50,520
Speaker 2: is you start giving the defending champs more life. And

210
00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:53,280
Speaker 2: this series looks totally different. Here where do you stand, right,

211
00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:56,079
Speaker 2: I thanks eventually going to emerge. You go in Celtics

212
00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:58,400
Speaker 2: or you going to Knicks over there?

213
00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:03,200
Speaker 4: Crack well, I'll tell you you know, being in town

214
00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:07,120
Speaker 4: yesterday there was half points extras all over town. There's

215
00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:09,360
Speaker 4: actually six and a half for a minute in this game.

216
00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:14,079
Speaker 4: I went in one of the sportsbooks and the sportsbook

217
00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:16,880
Speaker 4: directors said, I cannot get any money on the Knicks.

218
00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:21,640
Speaker 4: So I can guarantee you that every sportsbook actually lost

219
00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:26,640
Speaker 4: money yesterday. They had literally the sharp line, which is

220
00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:29,559
Speaker 4: the originating lines, were five and a half. I even

221
00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:32,319
Speaker 4: see it five for a while, and yet they had

222
00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:34,400
Speaker 4: six and a half's here in town. They had a

223
00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:38,400
Speaker 4: couple sixes, and they couldn't get any money on the dogs. Still,

224
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:43,000
Speaker 4: everyone had Boston in their money lines. Throw them in

225
00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:46,840
Speaker 4: on the parlay and straight up and oh man, this

226
00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:52,360
Speaker 4: was a very big game. I didn't look at the

227
00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:54,360
Speaker 4: the schedule here. I don't know if we're getting Christian on,

228
00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:57,920
Speaker 4: but if we are, I'm sure he's probably gonna confirm

229
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:03,160
Speaker 4: that bet MGM needed the Knicks in that game yesterday.

230
00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:07,520
Speaker 4: But they got their most win game. I guess if

231
00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:09,440
Speaker 4: that's what you want to call it. Now, they're a

232
00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:12,880
Speaker 4: two sixty favorite to win this series down two to one. Yes,

233
00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:14,920
Speaker 4: they shot it better, like you said, from three, hitting

234
00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:18,480
Speaker 4: fifty percent, but they also played a lot better defense yesterday.

235
00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:22,480
Speaker 4: They could tested most of the Knicks outside shots, as

236
00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:26,600
Speaker 4: New York shot like twenty percent from the three point line.

237
00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:29,480
Speaker 4: I said it last week before this series even started.

238
00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:32,080
Speaker 4: Even though Boston was a nine to one favorite, I

239
00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:35,079
Speaker 4: expected them to be a long competitive series. I just

240
00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:36,640
Speaker 4: thought it was too much, but I yet I didn't

241
00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:40,000
Speaker 4: pull the trigger anyway on the dog. It seemed like

242
00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:43,240
Speaker 4: it seems like we're destined for a seven game series

243
00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:45,760
Speaker 4: in this matchup. Let's see if the Knicks can get

244
00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:47,680
Speaker 4: a win at home Monday and put the pressure back

245
00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:50,840
Speaker 4: on Boston. I'll tell you though, boy, there was a

246
00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:53,160
Speaker 4: lot of fans that were really ups They were really

247
00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:56,280
Speaker 4: looking forward to this game and it just didn't look

248
00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:58,439
Speaker 4: like it was going to They were going to have

249
00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:00,320
Speaker 4: a shot from the beginning, and they really did so.

250
00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:05,120
Speaker 3: So Jeff, Okay, so do you guys?

251
00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:05,400
Speaker 1: Uh?

252
00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:08,880
Speaker 3: There have been three fourth quarters in this in this series. Okay,

253
00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:12,000
Speaker 3: two have been you know, like close and yesterday was not.

254
00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:14,839
Speaker 3: But if you take guess how many points Boston scored

255
00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:19,280
Speaker 3: in three fourth quarters, give it a whirl, you know,

256
00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:21,959
Speaker 3: I mean, you know it's a thirty quarter, twenty Like

257
00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:23,520
Speaker 3: what would you what would you guess? Three?

258
00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:23,920
Speaker 5: Yeah?

259
00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:30,040
Speaker 2: Of course, I know for sure nineteen yesterday, and I

260
00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:33,200
Speaker 2: know they've not been killing it. Yeah, right, there are

261
00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:39,120
Speaker 2: reasons why we know that. I would guess combined, I

262
00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:42,640
Speaker 2: would say lo, I would say somewhere you wouldn't be

263
00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:45,079
Speaker 2: bringing it up. If it wasn't staggering, I'd say something

264
00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:48,559
Speaker 2: like fifty five points out of those three games.

265
00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:52,680
Speaker 3: Fifty two points. Fifty two Yeah, so are you? If

266
00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:56,120
Speaker 3: Game four, I imagine, is going to be closer, I'd take

267
00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:58,120
Speaker 3: the Knicks at home. If the game is close. Why

268
00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:01,400
Speaker 3: would I take Boston? It's the This is so last season, Brian,

269
00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:05,000
Speaker 3: You remember this. We talked about Boston same time, right,

270
00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:08,520
Speaker 3: like we're like, ah, you know, like I just they're

271
00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:13,160
Speaker 3: playing nobody, everyone's hurt. I don't really like their offense. Sometimes. Ye,

272
00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:15,360
Speaker 3: they scored a ton of points, but they bogged down

273
00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:18,240
Speaker 3: too much and they won the championship. And maybe despite

274
00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:20,440
Speaker 3: all of that when we're you know, I think even

275
00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:23,080
Speaker 3: those same issues now are more prevalent up. But they're

276
00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:26,400
Speaker 3: playing better teams and they yes, they shot really on

277
00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:29,000
Speaker 3: the first and it's seventy one first half points, and

278
00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:30,960
Speaker 3: then you watch in the fourth quarter and it's like

279
00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:34,960
Speaker 3: they just go back to the same bs Iso offense.

280
00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:38,640
Speaker 3: I don't understand it. When they were moving the ball yesterday,

281
00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:41,680
Speaker 3: and yes, they made their threes, but their threes were

282
00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:44,560
Speaker 3: in rhythm of an offense. It wasn't just passed the

283
00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:47,160
Speaker 3: ball around the outside shoot of three, it was dribble

284
00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:51,320
Speaker 3: to lane, everyone collapses, pass out one, extra pass three,

285
00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:55,200
Speaker 3: you know, or it was fake upfake dribble, aly loop dunk,

286
00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:56,960
Speaker 3: you know. And then like the more you do of

287
00:14:57,000 --> 00:15:00,880
Speaker 3: the variety, then you get better looks from three. And

288
00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:02,800
Speaker 3: I know they were uncontested a lot in Game one

289
00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:05,200
Speaker 3: and Game two, but they weren't off of good passes

290
00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:07,920
Speaker 3: in rhythm, and so they did all that in the

291
00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:09,440
Speaker 3: first half. Brian just to do none of it in

292
00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:12,200
Speaker 3: the second half, I don't And if they do that again,

293
00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:14,360
Speaker 3: and you could tell there were moments of this game

294
00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:15,640
Speaker 3: and I was like, oh boy, here we go again.

295
00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:20,520
Speaker 3: The Knicks just weren't very good yesterday. I don't trust them.

296
00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:23,120
Speaker 3: If this game is close in game four the Celtics,

297
00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:25,200
Speaker 3: are you going to? Are you doing? Is Tatam thinks

298
00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:27,360
Speaker 3: he's Kobe Bryant at the end of games He's not.

299
00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:30,480
Speaker 3: And so if there's a close game again in game four,

300
00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:33,080
Speaker 3: which I think just naturally, We'll talk a lot today

301
00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:35,080
Speaker 3: about zig zag and how I wager and I know

302
00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:37,080
Speaker 3: you do Brian on the postseason or he sort of

303
00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:39,120
Speaker 3: zig zag. There's some great spots today. I feel like

304
00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:44,320
Speaker 3: with some player props it like you, you would think

305
00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:46,280
Speaker 3: the Knicks play better in Game four and if the

306
00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:48,440
Speaker 3: game is a ten point game in the fourth quarter,

307
00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:50,720
Speaker 3: I like the Knicks to come back and take that

308
00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:53,480
Speaker 3: game from Boston. What has Boston showing you? Even in

309
00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:55,800
Speaker 3: the Orlando series they're complaining about this. In Orlando series,

310
00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:57,880
Speaker 3: they just don't close out games will because they get

311
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:02,560
Speaker 3: this one on one is offense. Brown's a little beat up,

312
00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:05,560
Speaker 3: Holly's a little beat up. Tatum has got that wrist.

313
00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:07,560
Speaker 3: I think a little bit that's bothering him at times.

314
00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:11,000
Speaker 3: It just in Missoula. Who's a I think a good coach,

315
00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:13,320
Speaker 3: just doesn't I don't know, I don't know not I

316
00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:15,600
Speaker 3: don't So I don't trust him is my point. I

317
00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:17,640
Speaker 3: don't trust him in a close game to close out

318
00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:18,120
Speaker 3: Game four.

319
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:22,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's one of these deals where a couple of things.

320
00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:25,920
Speaker 2: They remind me of the Warriors a bit, because the

321
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:30,920
Speaker 2: Mark Jackson Warriors were completely different than the Steve Kerr Warriors.

322
00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:34,479
Speaker 2: Like all this ball movement and this you know, screens

323
00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:36,920
Speaker 2: and action that that was not a part of the

324
00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:40,280
Speaker 2: Warriors before Steve Kerr got there. They looked a lot different.

325
00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:43,200
Speaker 2: And that's the thing with the Celtics. I just look

326
00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:47,000
Speaker 2: at Joe Missoula and I'm like, he he allows too

327
00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:50,600
Speaker 2: much ISO stuff to go on. There's so much better

328
00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:53,920
Speaker 2: when they move the ball a little bit, they move around,

329
00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:57,880
Speaker 2: there's some action as an offense. Instead of like Tatum

330
00:16:57,920 --> 00:16:59,760
Speaker 2: can get you a bucket, he can get you a

331
00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:03,480
Speaker 2: good shot whenever he wants. And that's nice to rely on.

332
00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:06,520
Speaker 2: I'm not saying all things ISO are bad, they just

333
00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:10,480
Speaker 2: rely on it way too much and it bogs down

334
00:17:10,520 --> 00:17:13,719
Speaker 2: the offense. And I don't know why Missoula he just

335
00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:17,280
Speaker 2: allows possession after possession after possession where that happens instead

336
00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:20,160
Speaker 2: of he's like, hey, run forty seven or what run

337
00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:23,280
Speaker 2: a freaking play, Like let's move the ball a little bit,

338
00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:26,800
Speaker 2: and they just get, like Jeff said, bogged down completely.

339
00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:29,760
Speaker 2: And I'll say this about Boston, they're a very frustrating

340
00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:33,520
Speaker 2: team whichever side you're on, if you fade them, the

341
00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:37,240
Speaker 2: Celtics are frustrating because they're really talented and they can,

342
00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:40,520
Speaker 2: you know, make your bet go bad easily. And then

343
00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:43,640
Speaker 2: if you back them and then you watch this offense

344
00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:46,800
Speaker 2: just bog down, You're like, oh, this is just gross

345
00:17:46,840 --> 00:17:50,800
Speaker 2: to watch as they're just kind of like staggering to

346
00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:53,680
Speaker 2: the finish line. You know, they look like me on Monday.

347
00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:59,000
Speaker 2: It's not good. So I get it, Like both sides.

348
00:17:58,800 --> 00:18:00,640
Speaker 3: A joke about having a stroke. You gotta you gotta

349
00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:06,240
Speaker 3: get in there. It is. It is infuriating. That's a

350
00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:09,560
Speaker 3: good point about them. Like whatever side you're on, it

351
00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:11,439
Speaker 3: feels like you're on the wrong side. Now. I was

352
00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:16,320
Speaker 3: on Boston for the game because I just the as

353
00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:19,200
Speaker 3: a friend of ours crack Sammy p Has the Crippler,

354
00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:22,280
Speaker 3: he he was on h he was on the Knicks

355
00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:23,639
Speaker 3: in it, and that I took Boston. I took the

356
00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:25,239
Speaker 3: Warriors last night too because the Crippler and I ended

357
00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:28,280
Speaker 3: up making money, so thank you for that. Barely they

358
00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:31,560
Speaker 3: barely got home there. But like, yeah, it's just it's

359
00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:34,200
Speaker 3: just it feels like they can just be so much better,

360
00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:36,080
Speaker 3: right and they're just not. I mean, that's that's that's

361
00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:37,280
Speaker 3: what makes it super frustrating.

362
00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:39,280
Speaker 2: I was on a first.

363
00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:42,800
Speaker 4: I don't know if they were friends or not.

364
00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:46,879
Speaker 3: No, we don't know no, no name of the Cripple,

365
00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:49,960
Speaker 3: we don't know who it is. But uh, yeah, so

366
00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:52,600
Speaker 3: I I was on I was on Boston for that reason.

367
00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:54,240
Speaker 3: I like the wager. I think anyways, I thought they

368
00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:57,080
Speaker 3: would win that game. But Game four, man, I think

369
00:18:57,119 --> 00:18:59,879
Speaker 3: it's anyone's game. I don't really, I don't know. We've

370
00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:01,840
Speaker 3: the numbers at five and a half. Six again, I

371
00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:03,040
Speaker 3: would imagine it's about there, right.

372
00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:04,760
Speaker 2: It's about six and a half.

373
00:19:05,280 --> 00:19:07,080
Speaker 3: I think Nicks are super live to be close in

374
00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:08,560
Speaker 3: that game, and I think end game is probably a

375
00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:09,479
Speaker 3: way to make that wager.

376
00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:12,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it's it's a wild ride. I'll tell you

377
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:15,119
Speaker 2: real fast. I had a first quarter line on the

378
00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:18,760
Speaker 2: Celtics minus two and a half, and I was uncomfortable

379
00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:21,720
Speaker 2: the whole time. And they won easily crushed them in

380
00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:23,880
Speaker 2: the first quarter because I'm like, this is their season,

381
00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:26,560
Speaker 2: you know, and they're just better. They're better than the Knicks.

382
00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:29,800
Speaker 2: They have to come out with some focus, and they did.

383
00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:32,400
Speaker 2: But the point is even that even though they they

384
00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:35,080
Speaker 2: won the first quarter by thirteen points or something crazy,

385
00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:37,720
Speaker 2: I have to go back and look, it still wasn't comfortable,

386
00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:41,520
Speaker 2: just based on the way they play. So I just

387
00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:44,800
Speaker 2: be prepared. I'm sure people out there have bet Boston

388
00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:48,200
Speaker 2: backed them, faded them. You're gonna be uncomfortable no matter

389
00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:50,359
Speaker 2: which side you're on. It's just the way they play,

390
00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:51,880
Speaker 2: and I don't think that's gonna change.

391
00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:52,600

420
00:21:17,520 --> 00:21:22,760
Speaker 2: wide receiver George Pickens traded from the Steelers to the Cowboys.

421
00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:26,320
Speaker 2: Cowboys get a third round pick a fifth round pick.

422
00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:31,520
Speaker 2: So there's that. So I think the first part of

423
00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:34,639
Speaker 2: this whole discussion is which team do you like to

424
00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:38,280
Speaker 2: trade for more? Do you like the Steelers trading George

425
00:21:38,359 --> 00:21:41,439
Speaker 2: Pickens away? Or do you like the Cowboys trading for

426
00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:47,080
Speaker 2: George Pickens? Right, like Jeffy first first impression here for you?

427
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:51,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean probably the Cowboys. They needed Pickens, know

428
00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:54,320
Speaker 3: they need a second a wide receiver badly. The thing

429
00:21:54,320 --> 00:21:56,800
Speaker 3: that will be the judge of this is whether they

430
00:21:56,800 --> 00:21:59,440
Speaker 3: give them a second contract or not, right, Broca, that's

431
00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:01,760
Speaker 3: the that's that's what really this comes down to is

432
00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:05,399
Speaker 3: that if it's a one year rental and it goes well, great,

433
00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:07,400
Speaker 3: are you gonna pay him? Though? Are you gonna pay

434
00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:11,600
Speaker 3: him a long term contract? He has shown? I think

435
00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:15,040
Speaker 3: instability is the right way to put it right in

436
00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:18,760
Speaker 3: Pittsburgh in a place that you know, it maybe tolerates

437
00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:20,920
Speaker 3: instability a little better than other teams do. Over the years,

438
00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:22,600
Speaker 3: we've seen that with all the characters they've had on

439
00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:24,960
Speaker 3: their teams, and now that Antonio Brown's out of the NFL,

440
00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:27,120
Speaker 3: you feel like they should get a medal for having

441
00:22:27,320 --> 00:22:30,359
Speaker 3: dealt with that over the years. So I like it

442
00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:35,359
Speaker 3: from that perspective, Absolutely do. But again, are they gonna

443
00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:37,439
Speaker 3: pay him or not? That's the big question effort for

444
00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:40,119
Speaker 3: now for Dallas, and look him and Lamb together with that,

445
00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:41,560
Speaker 3: I mean it's a it's a good offense, Like the

446
00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:44,000
Speaker 3: offense line is. They've done well there. They drafted a

447
00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:46,520
Speaker 3: guard running back still sort of a question mark, I

448
00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:52,240
Speaker 3: think now for for Pittsburgh still, who's throwing the ball

449
00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:52,600
Speaker 3: to him?

450
00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:53,960
Speaker 2: Yeah?

451
00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:58,200
Speaker 3: I mean, are they they there? It seems like the

452
00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:03,399
Speaker 3: Rogers citizens gonna have at some point, But why not yet? Guys,

453
00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:05,560
Speaker 3: we're in the aust program right now. Right, so you're

454
00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:08,000
Speaker 3: in the building. If you're an NFL player four hours

455
00:23:08,040 --> 00:23:09,639
Speaker 3: a day, three or four days a week, it's not

456
00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:11,359
Speaker 3: very much. But this is the time of the year

457
00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:13,520
Speaker 3: when you you know, you learn the playbook again if

458
00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:17,720
Speaker 3: it's new to you or you're refreshed on it. But

459
00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:20,200
Speaker 3: it's it's his team bonding time. It's is chemistry time

460
00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:24,159
Speaker 3: right now. And Aaron Rodgers is not there now. We

461
00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:27,240
Speaker 3: mocked him last year for missing the Jets mandatory mini

462
00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:29,959
Speaker 3: camp to go to Europe or it was the Egypt maybe,

463
00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:32,200
Speaker 3: but he was the least there for the other part. Right,

464
00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:35,040
Speaker 3: You get to know your teammates, go to dinner, you

465
00:23:35,119 --> 00:23:38,119
Speaker 3: hang out, you go to sporting events together. It's you know,

466
00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:40,480
Speaker 3: it's a very stress free environment. No one's really getting

467
00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:43,760
Speaker 3: released at all. You're not fearful for your job. And

468
00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:47,159
Speaker 3: Rodgers is not there right now. And Pittsburgh are going

469
00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:50,640
Speaker 3: the season with with their with Mason Rudolph and your

470
00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:53,480
Speaker 3: guy Riley Leonard's gonna gonna we talked about earlier. You

471
00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:57,080
Speaker 3: can't throw. I mean he put in a natural championship game.

472
00:23:57,880 --> 00:23:59,840
Speaker 3: He ran the ball nine times in the first drive

473
00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:03,240
Speaker 3: like that shows you, like remember he's thrown up on

474
00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:06,840
Speaker 3: the sideline after first he was so exhausted. We had this,

475
00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:09,359
Speaker 3: I remember we had this rushing over attempts over fourteen

476
00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:10,480
Speaker 3: and a half and he didn't run the ball for

477
00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:14,440
Speaker 3: another two quarters. So you're like, come on, come on,

478
00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:15,560
Speaker 3: come on, buddy.

479
00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:18,920
Speaker 2: I'm like, Bear gets get six rebounds right away and

480
00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:20,840
Speaker 2: you're like, and a half.

481
00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:23,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, he had seven in the first quarter thin yesterday.

482
00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:28,400
Speaker 3: Six to the first quarter yesterday. So you know, crack I.

483
00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:31,000
Speaker 3: It doesn't change obviously, win tolls for anybody, but I'm

484
00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:34,159
Speaker 3: I'm really honestly, there's under as of right now with

485
00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:36,720
Speaker 3: their wins. I know, I know, never finished out to

486
00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:39,080
Speaker 3: five hundred, but at some point it does come to

487
00:24:39,119 --> 00:24:42,320
Speaker 3: an end and you have an older defense. You have

488
00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:46,200
Speaker 3: no quarterback right now, none. Who's your number one wide

489
00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:50,000
Speaker 3: out right now in Pittsburgh, Dk, right who's your number

490
00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:50,600
Speaker 3: two wide out?

491
00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:51,480
Speaker 2: Yeah?

492
00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:56,000
Speaker 3: And guys DKO, I think DK is one of these

493
00:24:56,040 --> 00:25:01,240
Speaker 3: guys who is It's just I think he's overrated for

494
00:25:01,359 --> 00:25:03,800
Speaker 3: what people think he is. We talked about this often

495
00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:07,760
Speaker 3: when it comes just to just to you know, athletes

496
00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:10,879
Speaker 3: that we talk about like him. Okay, give me his

497
00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:14,159
Speaker 3: signature moment as a wide receiver do you have do

498
00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:16,880
Speaker 3: you have one? It's actually him running down a guy

499
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:19,760
Speaker 3: who intercepted remember the Buddha Baker he ran. He doesn't

500
00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:23,840
Speaker 3: have like he's made one All Pro in the COVID year.

501
00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:28,000
Speaker 3: That's it in a weird year when like you know, otherwise,

502
00:25:28,320 --> 00:25:32,520
Speaker 3: that's it two Pro Bowls, one All Pro. He's fine.

503
00:25:33,040 --> 00:25:34,760
Speaker 3: He can, he can, he can be good in a

504
00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:37,960
Speaker 3: given year, but he's not like a transcendent superstar to

505
00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:41,639
Speaker 3: position in my opinion, do you think he is? Brian

506
00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:43,680
Speaker 3: I there were times last year just disappeared in the

507
00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:45,520
Speaker 3: second half of games. Now, maybe it's Geno Smith throw

508
00:25:45,520 --> 00:25:47,040
Speaker 3: on the ball then, but it's not gonna be better

509
00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:49,080
Speaker 3: with Mason rudolphro on the ball to him. So I

510
00:25:49,119 --> 00:25:52,960
Speaker 3: just think Pittsburgh downgraded in talent right now. I like

511
00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:56,520
Speaker 3: some of young offensive linemen, I like Warren, like I

512
00:25:56,600 --> 00:25:58,399
Speaker 3: like some of the guys they have there, but like,

513
00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:01,080
Speaker 3: who's number two wide receiver? Who who was any offensive

514
00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:04,240
Speaker 3: line depth? Who's your quarterback? So crack. Maybe I'm I'm

515
00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:08,280
Speaker 3: just too out on the Steelers without seeing their quarterback

516
00:26:08,359 --> 00:26:09,680
Speaker 3: right now, But that I think the way you have

517
00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:10,679
Speaker 3: to look at them.

518
00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:13,879
Speaker 4: You know, last year, I was in Florida around the

519
00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:18,639
Speaker 4: beginning of April and the first season win totals were

520
00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:21,280
Speaker 4: put up there and I had wasn't expecting it. I

521
00:26:21,320 --> 00:26:24,280
Speaker 4: was just on a little vacation visiting my brother and

522
00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:27,560
Speaker 4: Steelers were one of the teams I bet under last

523
00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:28,760
Speaker 4: year and the.

524
00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:29,840
Speaker 3: Bet lost by the way.

525
00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:34,119
Speaker 4: But however, I think the Steelers lost like their last four.

526
00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:37,360
Speaker 4: I mean I lost by half a game, lost by

527
00:26:37,359 --> 00:26:39,800
Speaker 4: half a game there. I just that it just seems

528
00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:43,160
Speaker 4: like I can't do anything right betting on or against that.

529
00:26:43,160 --> 00:26:44,479
Speaker 4: That's my uh my.

530
00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:46,560
Speaker 2: The Celtics the NFL for you.

531
00:26:46,760 --> 00:26:48,879
Speaker 3: Yeah, by the way they have they have Will Howard,

532
00:26:48,880 --> 00:26:50,840
Speaker 3: not Rty Leonard. I think the same. They're still at

533
00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:52,359
Speaker 3: the same quarterback to me, even though Will Howard can

534
00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:53,800
Speaker 3: throw the ball. So I was wrong on that one.

535
00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:56,720
Speaker 3: It's Will Howard, who's the quarterback, who'd Roby Leonard get drafted.

536
00:26:56,440 --> 00:27:01,159
Speaker 2: By drafted golds. He's the white Anthony Richardson.

537
00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:03,080
Speaker 3: It was, it's Will Howard. So it's Will Howard. Mason

538
00:27:03,119 --> 00:27:06,480
Speaker 3: Rudolph Schler Thompson did to make a difference Will Howard

539
00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:08,880
Speaker 3: or Roddy Leonard. Does that change to the Pittsburgh Steelers.

540
00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:13,920
Speaker 2: No, No, it doesn't. No, that was like Notre Dames.

541
00:27:14,600 --> 00:27:17,480
Speaker 2: That was a player for Notre Dame. Like they're trying

542
00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:20,640
Speaker 2: to get back into the National Championship game against Ohio State.

543
00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:22,920
Speaker 2: They were Trey Lane trying to come back, and one

544
00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:26,439
Speaker 2: of the best assets was Will Howard just missing a

545
00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:29,800
Speaker 2: wide open wide receiver for an easy first down. And

546
00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:31,880
Speaker 2: it's like, all right, Irish are in business. They get

547
00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:35,160
Speaker 2: the ball back because Will Howard just missed Jeremiah Smith

548
00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:38,000
Speaker 2: who is wide open, you know. So the point is,

549
00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:39,560
Speaker 2: I don't think Will Howard is going to make a

550
00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:42,920
Speaker 2: difference for the Steelers. They don't have a quarterback right now.

551
00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:46,800
Speaker 2: They don't. And that's the thing here. The first part

552
00:27:46,840 --> 00:27:52,600
Speaker 2: to me is who won the trade? Is this idea that, oh,

553
00:27:52,840 --> 00:27:55,840
Speaker 2: it's auditioned by subtraction for the Steelers, that only goes

554
00:27:55,880 --> 00:27:58,959
Speaker 2: so far, and I think that's oftentimes a myth. It

555
00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:02,040
Speaker 2: really only works for teams that have superior talent in

556
00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:04,280
Speaker 2: the first place. So you got to ask yourself, do

557
00:28:04,359 --> 00:28:08,359
Speaker 2: the Steelers have superior talent where they can afford to

558
00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:11,440
Speaker 2: move a guy like George Pickens, who is incredibly talented

559
00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:14,520
Speaker 2: but has been very very immature. Do the Steelers have

560
00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:18,480
Speaker 2: superior talent than what the Chiefs, the Bills, these teams

561
00:28:18,520 --> 00:28:20,800
Speaker 2: in their conference or even their division, the race visions.

562
00:28:22,640 --> 00:28:25,440
Speaker 2: Do they have more talent than those? I would say no.

563
00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:29,480
Speaker 2: So this idea that well they gained by subtracting, I

564
00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:32,119
Speaker 2: think that only goes so far, and I think oftentimes

565
00:28:32,240 --> 00:28:34,800
Speaker 2: we blow that out of proportion. Is there something to

566
00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:38,080
Speaker 2: be gained? Yeah, there can be at times, but I

567
00:28:38,080 --> 00:28:41,240
Speaker 2: think oftentimes, oh they got rid of that really talented guy,

568
00:28:41,280 --> 00:28:44,280
Speaker 2: there's so much better off. Now that's oftentimes not the case.

569
00:28:44,560 --> 00:28:48,440
Speaker 3: Well, look when it comes to division winners, Okay, every

570
00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:52,760
Speaker 3: year seven of eight, eight of eight teams that win divisions,

571
00:28:52,800 --> 00:28:55,720
Speaker 3: it's the best quarterback in division. It's kind of that simple. Now,

572
00:28:55,800 --> 00:28:59,440
Speaker 3: you can argue whether Joe Burrow and Lamar Jackson who's better, right,

573
00:28:59,520 --> 00:29:02,680
Speaker 3: I mean, they're different guys, but they're both equally MVP

574
00:29:02,800 --> 00:29:06,040
Speaker 3: caliber players, and that's when the team around you matters.

575
00:29:06,600 --> 00:29:10,040
Speaker 3: So in Pittsburgh right now, we're gonna believe that a

576
00:29:10,080 --> 00:29:14,480
Speaker 3: combination of Will Howard it maybe and Mason Rudolph maybe

577
00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:19,880
Speaker 3: are better than Joe Burrow, who with just a marginally

578
00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:22,240
Speaker 3: better defense, the Bengals are a ten win team, right,

579
00:29:22,680 --> 00:29:26,240
Speaker 3: eleven win team, the Ravens who continually win ten eleven games,

580
00:29:27,280 --> 00:29:29,600
Speaker 3: I just don't buy it. And maybe the Browns, like

581
00:29:29,760 --> 00:29:32,000
Speaker 3: the Browns have talent, I don't know who their quarterbacks

582
00:29:32,120 --> 00:29:34,960
Speaker 3: end up ultimately being in the end, probably just Joe

583
00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:37,120
Speaker 3: Flacco or to start for the season and then one

584
00:29:37,120 --> 00:29:39,080
Speaker 3: of the backups of what will come in at some point.

585
00:29:40,120 --> 00:29:43,440
Speaker 3: But yeah, I just I'm out on Pittsburgh. It's I'm

586
00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:46,040
Speaker 3: just I'm out on the idea of the singers this season,

587
00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:49,120
Speaker 3: and at some point it has to end. I think

588
00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:54,880
Speaker 3: sort of it feels like the not arrogance is the

589
00:29:54,880 --> 00:29:56,840
Speaker 3: wrong word, but sort of the failure to just sort

590
00:29:56,840 --> 00:30:03,800
Speaker 3: of say we need to do something different quarterback, you know,

591
00:30:03,840 --> 00:30:07,520
Speaker 3: Aaron Rodgers to me, doesn't really you know, it doesn't

592
00:30:07,560 --> 00:30:10,640
Speaker 3: really make it, you know, make me feel better about anything,

593
00:30:10,680 --> 00:30:12,160
Speaker 3: to be honest with you. By the way, I was

594
00:30:12,160 --> 00:30:17,040
Speaker 3: looking to the series also play guys, the NFC West

595
00:30:17,280 --> 00:30:20,920
Speaker 3: and the AFC West. It's a hard schedule. It's a

596
00:30:20,920 --> 00:30:22,200
Speaker 3: hard schedule for them this year.

597
00:30:22,280 --> 00:30:25,080
Speaker 2: Well, I'll tell you what you're speaking about. Great combos.

598
00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:28,520
Speaker 2: I just started thinking about, you know, like Jordan and Pippin,

599
00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:31,280
Speaker 2: maybe the Blues Brothers. You could go in a lot

600
00:30:31,280 --> 00:30:34,080
Speaker 2: of different directions. I'll tell you what, whatever combo you

601
00:30:34,120 --> 00:30:39,960
Speaker 2: come up with Isaac Lohenkron and fill in the blank

602
00:30:40,280 --> 00:30:43,840
Speaker 2: is a better combo than anything that you can come up.

603
00:30:43,840 --> 00:30:46,440
Speaker 2: But that's how strong Eyelo is and what he brings

604
00:30:46,480 --> 00:30:49,080
Speaker 2: to the table here. Good morning, Iloh, what's going on?

605
00:30:49,120 --> 00:30:49,440
Speaker 3: Buddy?

606
00:30:49,480 --> 00:30:50,080
Speaker 2: Good morning?

607
00:30:50,120 --> 00:30:54,320
Speaker 7: But you know what you to real MVP to paraphrase

608
00:30:54,920 --> 00:30:58,920
Speaker 7: Kevin Durant, so glad you're okay and so glad you're

609
00:30:59,440 --> 00:31:00,880
Speaker 7: back with us.

610
00:31:01,480 --> 00:31:03,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, thank you. I appreciate that.

611
00:31:03,720 --> 00:31:07,520
Speaker 7: I love and also on a side note, uh to

612
00:31:07,560 --> 00:31:10,480
Speaker 7: you in Crack, thank you for the deep dive expos

00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:15,280
Speaker 7: into the Las Vegas medical care system. Yeah, yeah, that's

614
00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:20,640
Speaker 7: food for thought. I'll tell you that anything happens to me,

615
00:31:20,640 --> 00:31:22,120
Speaker 7: I'll be like, oh, yeah, I'm good.

Speaker 1: Just take the fifteen through Utah.

619
00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:34,120
Speaker 7: By the way, we have more positive Vegas related content

620
00:31:34,440 --> 00:31:36,680
Speaker 7: coming up as we begin, though, with Game three of

Speaker 8: Five seconds centered off the stick and the slot.

633
00:32:20,120 --> 00:32:21,800
Speaker 3: Smith gets around the goaliegue.

634
00:32:21,960 --> 00:32:22,680
Speaker 5: They scored.

635
00:32:23,040 --> 00:32:26,840
Speaker 9: No, it's waved off. They wave it off. The referee

636
00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:31,360
Speaker 9: waved his arm saying no. The Golden Knights think they've won.

637
00:32:31,440 --> 00:32:33,320
Speaker 9: They won zero point four.

638
00:32:33,440 --> 00:32:35,040
Speaker 3: The puck to wycross the.

639
00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:39,560
Speaker 7: Line bawl Riley Smith the game winner. It actually went

640
00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:43,080
Speaker 7: off the stick of Edmonton's Leon dry Sidle. It hit

641
00:32:43,160 --> 00:32:47,400
Speaker 7: the camera in the net and bounced out. Vegas wins

642
00:32:47,440 --> 00:32:50,080
Speaker 7: it four to three. Edmonton still leaves the series two

643
00:32:50,120 --> 00:32:53,560
Speaker 7: games to one. And in Major League Baseball on Saturday night,

644
00:32:53,960 --> 00:32:59,560
Speaker 7: the San Diego Padres, what at Colorado twenty one to nothing?

645
00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:04,720
Speaker 7: So get this, guys. The Rockies have allowed fifty five

646
00:33:04,920 --> 00:33:09,280
Speaker 7: runs over the last three days. That's the most runs

647
00:33:09,320 --> 00:33:11,800
Speaker 7: a major league team has allowed in a three day

648
00:33:11,880 --> 00:33:18,320
Speaker 7: span in seventy five years, since the Saint Louis Browns

649
00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:21,479
Speaker 7: in June of nineteen fifty.

650
00:33:21,600 --> 00:33:24,440
Speaker 2: Back to you, guys, Wow, thank you Ilo. It is

651
00:33:24,440 --> 00:33:28,800
Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radios Countdown presented by bet MGM. How about that, Jeff,

652
00:33:28,800 --> 00:33:31,680
Speaker 2: you were just talking about the Celtics. Yeah, in three

653
00:33:31,840 --> 00:33:35,600
Speaker 2: fourth quarters against the Knicks, they've scored fifty two points.

654
00:33:35,800 --> 00:33:39,720
Speaker 2: Think about that in basketball. Meanwhile, the Colorado Rockies over

655
00:33:39,800 --> 00:33:43,360
Speaker 2: three games have allowed fifty five runs. They've allowed more

656
00:33:43,440 --> 00:33:45,840
Speaker 2: runs than the Celtics have scored fourth quarter points.

657
00:33:46,040 --> 00:33:48,520
Speaker 3: They've allowed at least eight runs down six straight games.

658
00:33:48,800 --> 00:33:51,840
Speaker 3: I think I told you guys you last year I

659
00:33:51,840 --> 00:33:54,160
Speaker 3: have faded the White Sox every game, and this year

660
00:33:54,480 --> 00:33:57,400
Speaker 3: I have faded the Rockies pitching staff every game. I've

661
00:33:57,400 --> 00:34:01,080
Speaker 3: bet the team total over for their opponent game this season.

662
00:34:01,720 --> 00:34:06,440
Speaker 3: And let's see, it's hitting one, two, three, four, five, six,

663
00:34:06,560 --> 00:34:09,959
Speaker 3: seven straight games. It took a little pause for three

664
00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:13,200
Speaker 3: games and it was one, two, three, four, five, six, seven,

665
00:34:13,719 --> 00:34:17,080
Speaker 3: seven games in a row there. It's been very profitable

666
00:34:17,120 --> 00:34:20,000
Speaker 3: this year. The Rockies, I have a I pull up

667
00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:22,640
Speaker 3: all the numbers right here. They allow almost seven runs

668
00:34:22,640 --> 00:34:25,560
Speaker 3: a game a season. Their era is nearly six, their

669
00:34:25,680 --> 00:34:28,760
Speaker 3: whip is one point sixty three. The pony battle average

670
00:34:28,760 --> 00:34:31,919
Speaker 3: is nearly three hundred in baseball in twenty twenty five.

671
00:34:32,280 --> 00:34:34,200
Speaker 3: So I will be on the the projects again today

672
00:34:34,360 --> 00:34:35,719
Speaker 3: it's seven and it's over seven and a half. I

673
00:34:35,760 --> 00:34:38,120
Speaker 3: think plus one hundred or over six and a half

674
00:34:38,120 --> 00:34:40,080
Speaker 3: and minus one forty. I think I'll give you guys

675
00:34:40,080 --> 00:34:42,640
Speaker 3: a better number what I determined later. I haven't made

676
00:34:42,640 --> 00:34:44,360
Speaker 3: that wager yet, but it will be played today.

677
00:34:44,600 --> 00:34:47,200
Speaker 4: You know that. That's right. Jeff is spot on about that.

678
00:34:48,080 --> 00:34:50,320
Speaker 4: One of my buddies, Fez, just sent me that over

679
00:34:50,400 --> 00:34:54,000
Speaker 4: six and a half minus forty that number, but uh yeah,

680
00:34:53,840 --> 00:34:56,040
Speaker 4: that that's uh, that's a one.

681
00:34:56,120 --> 00:34:57,879
Speaker 3: BENMGM has that. By the way, a lot of people

682
00:34:57,880 --> 00:35:01,320
Speaker 3: don't have the alternate right the and a half there's

683
00:35:01,320 --> 00:35:03,480
Speaker 3: giving you seven outs. Bet MGM is one of the

684
00:35:03,520 --> 00:35:05,920
Speaker 3: places that gives you a lot of options on totals.

685
00:35:05,960 --> 00:35:08,880
Speaker 3: And I'm okay paying the forty cents for the run.

686
00:35:09,320 --> 00:35:12,799
Speaker 2: Sure, yeah, yeah, no, it makes sense absolutely all right.

Speaker 2: have one selection for you. We pull it together for

698
00:35:46,480 --> 00:35:49,239
Speaker 2: a greater payout. I guess the question is which one

699
00:35:49,280 --> 00:35:52,480
Speaker 2: of us fades the Rockies. You know which one claims

700
00:35:52,480 --> 00:35:56,359
Speaker 2: that one first. So we'll fight like wolverines to get

701
00:35:56,360 --> 00:35:58,719
Speaker 2: that leg on our side. We'll compare notes.

702
00:35:58,800 --> 00:35:59,000
Speaker 3: Next.

710
00:36:23,840 --> 00:36:26,239
Speaker 8: For five seconds, center it off the stick and the

711
00:36:26,360 --> 00:36:28,680
Speaker 8: slot Smith cats around the goalie.

712
00:36:28,719 --> 00:36:29,440
Speaker 1: They scored.

713
00:36:29,800 --> 00:36:33,600
Speaker 9: No, it's waved off. They wave it off. The referee

714
00:36:33,640 --> 00:36:38,120
Speaker 9: waved his arms saying no. The Golden Knights think they've won.

715
00:36:38,200 --> 00:36:39,400
Speaker 2: They won dear.

716
00:36:39,200 --> 00:36:40,080
Speaker 3: Old point four.

717
00:36:40,200 --> 00:36:42,040
Speaker 4: The puck completely across the line.

718
00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:51,000
Speaker 2: Wow, the most climactic moment was anti climactic by the

719
00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:54,400
Speaker 2: refs saying no goal. Initially, it's like only a buzzer

720
00:36:54,440 --> 00:36:56,600
Speaker 2: beater to win Game three and give the Golden Knights

721
00:36:56,640 --> 00:36:59,319
Speaker 2: life there, but I get it. It was close. It's

722
00:36:59,360 --> 00:37:02,560
Speaker 2: like remember the Derek Fisher shot with the lakerspo point four.

723
00:37:03,280 --> 00:37:05,680
Speaker 2: Meagine if the refs were like, no, good doesn't count,

724
00:37:06,160 --> 00:37:07,840
Speaker 2: and then they're reviewed it and they're like, actually it

725
00:37:07,920 --> 00:37:10,279
Speaker 2: is good. You win dramatically. It is weird. That's what

726
00:37:10,360 --> 00:37:13,000
Speaker 2: happened in the hockey game last night. But that is

737
00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:49,680
Speaker 2: We pull it together for a greater payout crack. We

738
00:37:49,719 --> 00:37:51,000
Speaker 2: start with you, man, what do you like?

739
00:37:51,360 --> 00:37:53,239
Speaker 4: Well, I am gonna go with I just sent you

740
00:37:53,280 --> 00:37:57,600
Speaker 4: guys on the text over at PTMGM the Nationals minus

741
00:37:57,719 --> 00:38:01,120
Speaker 4: one five in the first five innings, a really good

742
00:38:01,200 --> 00:38:04,399
Speaker 4: line over there on Beta MGM. And I did check

743
00:38:04,440 --> 00:38:06,319
Speaker 4: out a couple other things. Some of those things that

744
00:38:06,719 --> 00:38:09,239
Speaker 4: Jeff said. Lots of the sportsbooks in the world do

745
00:38:09,360 --> 00:38:13,000
Speaker 4: not have the alternative team total in baseball. But for

746
00:38:13,080 --> 00:38:15,920
Speaker 4: this parlay platter, let's stick with the Nationals minus one

747
00:38:16,040 --> 00:38:17,520
Speaker 4: fifty five in the first five.

748
00:38:19,000 --> 00:38:22,160
Speaker 3: I will think about the Padres and Rockies team total.

749
00:38:22,160 --> 00:38:23,879
Speaker 3: Things like the Padres don't score a lot of runs,

750
00:38:23,920 --> 00:38:26,080
Speaker 3: and yet they've scored bazillion runs last two games. So

751
00:38:26,120 --> 00:38:28,200
Speaker 3: it does worry me. Today, I'm gonna look out the

752
00:38:28,239 --> 00:38:32,480
Speaker 3: parlay platter. I'm gonna go with Pacers plus one and

753
00:38:32,480 --> 00:38:36,600
Speaker 3: a half points for the first quarter today. They MARACTI

754
00:38:36,680 --> 00:38:40,359
Speaker 3: came back and tied the first quarter in Game three.

755
00:38:40,400 --> 00:38:42,879
Speaker 3: There they didn't play well in Game three. They're back

756
00:38:42,920 --> 00:38:45,080
Speaker 3: at home. Brian knows this. We've talked about this. The

757
00:38:45,120 --> 00:38:48,279
Speaker 3: Pacers starting five, TANGI start really fast to cover a

758
00:38:48,320 --> 00:38:50,560
Speaker 3: bunch of first quarters. I looked up the Cavs made

759
00:38:50,560 --> 00:38:52,839
Speaker 3: their first five to three pointers to start the game.

760
00:38:52,840 --> 00:38:54,880
Speaker 3: I don't expect that to happen in Game four. I

761
00:38:54,880 --> 00:38:57,200
Speaker 3: don't know the Calves are gonna be fine today, But Brian,

762
00:38:57,239 --> 00:38:59,480
Speaker 3: I like depictures to start fast in this game. Try

763
00:38:59,520 --> 00:39:02,279
Speaker 3: to get out to early. And look about Hollyburnon, I

764
00:39:02,320 --> 00:39:05,239
Speaker 3: would imagine later I'm on him today. He was horrendous

765
00:39:05,320 --> 00:39:07,960
Speaker 3: in Game three. I don't understand how you can be

766
00:39:08,440 --> 00:39:10,719
Speaker 3: a leader to observe your team and end up with

767
00:39:10,239 --> 00:39:13,440
Speaker 3: a triple single in a playoff game at home in

768
00:39:13,440 --> 00:39:16,359
Speaker 3: Game three, but that's what he did. How'd you hit

769
00:39:16,480 --> 00:39:21,000
Speaker 3: zero zero rebounds, which is like shocking, How does that happen? Nonetheless,

770
00:39:21,239 --> 00:39:23,040
Speaker 3: PACER's first quarter plus one and a half.

771
00:39:25,040 --> 00:39:30,239
Speaker 2: Okay, I'm on the Calves team total over. I'm on

772
00:39:30,400 --> 00:39:32,960
Speaker 2: over one seventeen and a half. For a couple of reasons.

773
00:39:33,640 --> 00:39:36,120
Speaker 2: The Calves have scored at least fifty points in the

774
00:39:36,160 --> 00:39:38,880
Speaker 2: paint in each of their three games against the Pacers.

775
00:39:39,280 --> 00:39:41,359
Speaker 2: They are killing them in the paint and a lot

776
00:39:41,440 --> 00:39:44,560
Speaker 2: of that is on Miles Turner. Miles Turner is like,

777
00:39:44,880 --> 00:39:47,520
Speaker 2: we need a new phrase here, Okay, because we always

778
00:39:47,560 --> 00:39:50,680
Speaker 2: talk about rim protection, we need to talk about paint

779
00:39:50,719 --> 00:39:54,520
Speaker 2: protection because the Calves have that With Jared Allen. Evan

780
00:39:54,560 --> 00:39:58,040
Speaker 2: Mobley is sensational defensively and that's a big reason why

781
00:39:58,040 --> 00:40:00,960
Speaker 2: I like Halliburtons assists because he's not gonna look to

782
00:40:00,960 --> 00:40:03,440
Speaker 2: finish among the trees as much. He's gonna try to

783
00:40:03,520 --> 00:40:06,480
Speaker 2: drive and kick. But if you look at the Cavs,

784
00:40:06,520 --> 00:40:09,399
Speaker 2: Donovan Mitchell is finishing in the paint at will, they

785
00:40:09,440 --> 00:40:12,600
Speaker 2: cannot stop this freaking guy. So if you're able to

786
00:40:12,680 --> 00:40:15,560
Speaker 2: score a fifty plus and the paint on the regular,

787
00:40:15,800 --> 00:40:17,880
Speaker 2: I like your team total over. So I'll go with

788
00:40:17,960 --> 00:40:21,200
Speaker 2: that coming up next. Why do we celebrate this guy

789
00:40:21,480 --> 00:40:24,799
Speaker 2: and talk? Oh what is going on? Happy Sunday to you,

790
00:40:24,880 --> 00:40:27,720
Speaker 2: Happy Mother's Day to all the great mamas out there.

791
00:40:28,760 --> 00:40:33,120
Speaker 2: We will get to the nickelback of the NFL here momentarily. First,

792

797
00:40:48,320 --> 00:40:51,560
Speaker 2: you might hate me for this entry point here if

798
00:40:51,600 --> 00:40:55,160
Speaker 2: you will, But your best buddy in the whole NFL

799
00:40:55,200 --> 00:40:59,120
Speaker 2: world that would be Derek Carr. Unfortunately, he is retired

800
00:40:59,200 --> 00:41:01,760
Speaker 2: due to a show older injury that has been nagging,

801
00:41:01,840 --> 00:41:06,000
Speaker 2: to say the least, and he walks away from the NFL.

802
00:41:06,080 --> 00:41:09,400
Speaker 2: Here and just looking at Derek Carr, he is the

803
00:41:09,520 --> 00:41:12,600
Speaker 2: nickelback of the NFL. No one says one good thing

804
00:41:12,600 --> 00:41:16,520
Speaker 2: about nickelback, and many would argue, nor should they, right,

805
00:41:16,719 --> 00:41:21,319
Speaker 2: but no one says anything good about Derek Carr. It's all, Oh,

806
00:41:21,440 --> 00:41:25,759
Speaker 2: this guy, you can't win. That's just the way it

807
00:41:25,800 --> 00:41:28,040
Speaker 2: goes with Derek Carr. And I've tried to wrap my

808
00:41:28,080 --> 00:41:30,239
Speaker 2: mind around it. I'm not making Derek Carr out to

809
00:41:30,280 --> 00:41:34,520
Speaker 2: be this top ten outstanding quarterback because he isn't. He

810
00:41:34,760 --> 00:41:38,120
Speaker 2: was an average quarterback for eleven years, but he made

811
00:41:38,160 --> 00:41:40,400
Speaker 2: it to the Pro Bowl four times. And it's just

812
00:41:40,440 --> 00:41:43,840
Speaker 2: funny to me if you compare him to another quarterback

813
00:41:43,920 --> 00:41:47,520
Speaker 2: who's comparable, like where they got drafted in the second round.

814
00:41:47,960 --> 00:41:52,640
Speaker 2: Expectations there weren't these crazy high expectations for Derek Carr.

815
00:41:52,880 --> 00:41:55,920
Speaker 2: He didn't win a national title at a major university

816
00:41:56,000 --> 00:41:59,279
Speaker 2: or I don't know it was this top prospect. Was

817
00:41:59,320 --> 00:42:02,200
Speaker 2: it like that? So I could understand it if he's

818
00:42:02,400 --> 00:42:05,680
Speaker 2: delivering less than what's expected and then all of a

819
00:42:05,680 --> 00:42:08,480
Speaker 2: sudden we're just bent out of shape and bad mouthing him.

820
00:42:08,680 --> 00:42:10,680
Speaker 2: But that was never the case either. But if you

821
00:42:10,760 --> 00:42:15,160
Speaker 2: compare Derek Carr to Geno Smith, who's now you know,

822
00:42:17,239 --> 00:42:19,120
Speaker 2: he had a resurgence with the Seahawks. Now what the

823
00:42:19,239 --> 00:42:21,799
Speaker 2: raid is, We'll see what he does. It's funny to me, right,

824
00:42:21,840 --> 00:42:24,640
Speaker 2: Like if you look at Derek Carr, four time Pro bowler,

825
00:42:24,760 --> 00:42:28,320
Speaker 2: Geno Smith, two time Pro bowler, Derek Carr career passer

826
00:42:28,400 --> 00:42:33,160
Speaker 2: rating ninety two point eight, which is average, Gino Smith

827
00:42:33,239 --> 00:42:36,600
Speaker 2: under that eighty eight. And yet we'll talk about Geno

828
00:42:36,719 --> 00:42:40,439
Speaker 2: Smith like, oh, this guy like Wow, look at Geno. Man,

829
00:42:40,520 --> 00:42:43,839
Speaker 2: he's dealing in. Derek Carr has never been like that,

830
00:42:44,000 --> 00:42:46,480
Speaker 2: and it's just funny to me. Why that is. I'm

831
00:42:46,480 --> 00:42:47,120
Speaker 2: not quite sure.

832
00:42:49,760 --> 00:42:53,120
Speaker 3: First of all the Geno stuff, I don't know who

833
00:42:53,160 --> 00:42:55,440
Speaker 3: we is. I've never talked about Geno like that. Actually

834
00:42:55,800 --> 00:42:58,719
Speaker 3: faded Geno many times because I just don't I think

835
00:42:58,760 --> 00:43:00,960
Speaker 3: his story. People like a story better than actual play.

836
00:43:00,960 --> 00:43:03,960
Speaker 3: He started fast two years ago for the first month

837
00:43:04,000 --> 00:43:05,719
Speaker 3: of the season, and since that he's not been the

838
00:43:05,760 --> 00:43:08,759
Speaker 3: same quarterback ever. I don't get this Rainers thing either

839
00:43:08,760 --> 00:43:10,440
Speaker 3: of this year. People are like, go, Gino's gonna come

840
00:43:10,440 --> 00:43:12,239
Speaker 3: in and make the Raiders that much better. I mean,

841
00:43:12,280 --> 00:43:16,440
Speaker 3: he's better what they've had, but what he's not been good,

842
00:43:16,560 --> 00:43:20,600
Speaker 3: He's like average at best. It's a story we like,

843
00:43:21,000 --> 00:43:23,520
Speaker 3: and Derek Carr has been average at best in his

844
00:43:23,640 --> 00:43:26,120
Speaker 3: entire career, and I think that the pushback has always

845
00:43:26,160 --> 00:43:28,520
Speaker 3: been that people have tried to make him something that

846
00:43:28,520 --> 00:43:31,560
Speaker 3: he's not, which is better than he is, and he's

847
00:43:31,560 --> 00:43:36,520
Speaker 3: perfectly average. He's perfectly in the middle. One season of

848
00:43:36,520 --> 00:43:39,880
Speaker 3: his career he was finished third MVP voting in that year. Unfortunately,

849
00:43:39,920 --> 00:43:41,480
Speaker 3: he couldn't even play in the playoff game, which he

850
00:43:41,480 --> 00:43:45,840
Speaker 3: was hurt. But I'm gonna look this up now. I

851
00:43:45,840 --> 00:43:48,600
Speaker 3: think I'm correct on this. No playoff wins. Correct, they

852
00:43:48,640 --> 00:43:54,360
Speaker 3: lost in Cincinnati few years back, Like, I mean, okay,

853
00:43:54,560 --> 00:43:58,399
Speaker 3: Like he's perfectly he's been perfectly like, yeah, they played

854
00:43:58,400 --> 00:44:01,680
Speaker 3: one playoff game, he's lost, like perfectly average, Like this

855
00:44:01,719 --> 00:44:05,040
Speaker 3: team doesn't win a ton play a lot of playoff games.

856
00:44:06,680 --> 00:44:09,120
Speaker 3: He's but it's fine. They beat the Chiefs few years ago. Like,

857
00:44:09,120 --> 00:44:11,040
Speaker 3: he's had some good moments in his career, but to me,

858
00:44:11,760 --> 00:44:15,040
Speaker 3: perfectly fine. I have not looked this up, so forgive me.

859
00:44:15,040 --> 00:44:17,080
Speaker 3: I should probably looked this up. Did the Saints win

860
00:44:17,200 --> 00:44:20,600
Speaker 3: total change it all after he retired, Like, is anyone like, oh, well,

861
00:44:20,640 --> 00:44:23,479
Speaker 3: now the Saints they're they're they're better or worse now

862
00:44:24,880 --> 00:44:26,960
Speaker 3: and now, of course factoring that in his shoulder was

863
00:44:26,960 --> 00:44:29,719
Speaker 3: already hurt in the win total, But like, I just

864
00:44:29,760 --> 00:44:31,800
Speaker 3: don't think anyone's like, oh now the Saints are that

865
00:44:31,920 --> 00:44:34,000
Speaker 3: much better, that much worse. He's just perfectly average court,

866
00:44:34,040 --> 00:44:36,479
Speaker 3: which is he's made one hundred and ninety one million dollars.

867
00:44:36,640 --> 00:44:40,120
Speaker 3: He's had a good career. It's interesting because the first

868
00:44:40,120 --> 00:44:41,960
Speaker 3: thing I thought about, by the way is the business

869
00:44:42,000 --> 00:44:45,279
Speaker 3: of football, because if he's on injured reserve, if he

870
00:44:45,320 --> 00:44:47,720
Speaker 3: had surgery in reserve, he gets his entire salary this season.

871
00:44:48,280 --> 00:44:52,040
Speaker 3: It's the whole thing, and he by retiring, he doesn't.

872
00:44:52,040 --> 00:44:54,000
Speaker 3: But they worked out a deal where he has to

873
00:44:54,040 --> 00:44:56,760
Speaker 3: keep his signing bonus and then not give back money

874
00:44:56,760 --> 00:44:58,200
Speaker 3: that he would have to give back. So if you

875
00:44:58,280 --> 00:45:02,560
Speaker 3: retire early into a contract, typically you have to give

876
00:45:02,600 --> 00:45:05,320
Speaker 3: back some of your signing bonus. The way it's structured

877
00:45:05,719 --> 00:45:07,719
Speaker 3: that that's how the NFL make sure guys don't get

878
00:45:07,719 --> 00:45:09,839
Speaker 3: big sign buds and then just quit on the team.

879
00:45:10,040 --> 00:45:12,040
Speaker 3: You know and so, but so they decide to basically

880
00:45:12,080 --> 00:45:13,960
Speaker 3: call it even. We'll give you your ten MILLI dollars

881
00:45:14,040 --> 00:45:16,399
Speaker 3: roster bonus, you won't owe anything to us, and you're

882
00:45:16,440 --> 00:45:18,640
Speaker 3: off our books. So it worked out actually better for

883
00:45:18,680 --> 00:45:20,640
Speaker 3: the Saints in the end. I was surprised you retired

884
00:45:20,640 --> 00:45:22,799
Speaker 3: and did get surgery. I've been there before, though, Like,

885
00:45:23,120 --> 00:45:24,840
Speaker 3: do I want to get surgery and maybe not be

886
00:45:24,880 --> 00:45:27,480
Speaker 3: one hundred percent healthier? Just call a career cracked. It's

887
00:45:27,520 --> 00:45:29,319
Speaker 3: calling it a career. But I just say, Brady, he's

888
00:45:29,320 --> 00:45:32,080
Speaker 3: perfectly average. And I think people tried to make him

889
00:45:32,120 --> 00:45:34,400
Speaker 3: more than he is. And and this is not what

890
00:45:34,480 --> 00:45:35,200
Speaker 3: his career.

891
00:45:35,080 --> 00:45:38,040
Speaker 4: Was, so jeff, what happens now? So the I think

892
00:45:38,040 --> 00:45:40,480
Speaker 4: he had that last contract was a four years, one

893
00:45:40,520 --> 00:45:41,520
Speaker 4: hundred and fifty million dollars.

894
00:45:41,560 --> 00:45:44,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, so basically, so okay, so your signing bonus, you

895
00:45:44,520 --> 00:45:47,120
Speaker 3: get all up front, right, and then it's pro rated

896
00:45:47,320 --> 00:45:51,080
Speaker 3: on the on the on the salary cap. They pro

897
00:45:51,239 --> 00:45:53,239
Speaker 3: rated out through the four years to spread the money

898
00:45:53,239 --> 00:45:56,080
Speaker 3: out right, So if you retire too soon, you have

899
00:45:56,160 --> 00:45:59,319
Speaker 3: to give back the money that basically is pro rated

900
00:45:59,360 --> 00:46:01,080
Speaker 3: even though you already have it. If that makes sense.

901
00:46:01,320 --> 00:46:03,400
Speaker 3: It's at the tyrant. So guys don't work. So like,

902
00:46:04,520 --> 00:46:06,120
Speaker 3: let's I got a four year deal and I got

903
00:46:06,160 --> 00:46:09,120
Speaker 3: ten millillars signing boats and I just said, ah, I'm retiring.

904
00:46:09,360 --> 00:46:11,120
Speaker 3: I mean you could do that right, just keep your money.

905
00:46:11,280 --> 00:46:13,239
Speaker 3: But the NFL says, no, no, you owe us X

906
00:46:13,280 --> 00:46:16,200
Speaker 3: amount of money. So they're forgiving that. They're forgiving that.

907
00:46:16,800 --> 00:46:19,520
Speaker 3: They're saying, you don't have to pass back. We'll give

908
00:46:19,520 --> 00:46:22,360
Speaker 3: you your ten million dollars roster bonus, and then we're just

909
00:46:22,400 --> 00:46:23,720
Speaker 3: not going to give you the rest of your contract

910
00:46:23,719 --> 00:46:26,759
Speaker 3: because you're retired. So the Saints are saving money by

911
00:46:27,160 --> 00:46:29,000
Speaker 3: him retiring and just not clawing back.

912
00:46:29,040 --> 00:46:31,920
Speaker 4: This is a bad financial move by car though.

913
00:46:32,160 --> 00:46:35,800
Speaker 3: I mean, here's the deal, So here's the trade off. Okay,

914
00:46:36,200 --> 00:46:39,279
Speaker 3: you made your two million dollars. I look up what

915
00:46:39,320 --> 00:46:42,319
Speaker 3: a salary would have been this season. You made two

916
00:46:42,440 --> 00:46:44,560
Speaker 3: million dollar? Is it worth you know?

917
00:46:44,880 --> 00:46:45,160
Speaker 1: Uh?

918
00:46:46,040 --> 00:46:48,360
Speaker 3: You know he's getting a ten roster bone. He's not

919
00:46:48,400 --> 00:46:49,840
Speaker 3: giving money back, which I don't know how much you

920
00:46:49,840 --> 00:46:53,360
Speaker 3: have to give back. Is it worth let's say twenty

921
00:46:53,440 --> 00:46:56,400
Speaker 3: million more dollars to get surgery essentially right, just like

922
00:46:56,520 --> 00:46:58,399
Speaker 3: I think for him his salary this.

923
00:46:58,440 --> 00:47:01,080
Speaker 4: Year, I'm reading like a million reading.

924
00:47:01,520 --> 00:47:03,680
Speaker 3: Well, it says here that it's always it's always hard

925
00:47:03,680 --> 00:47:06,760
Speaker 3: to tell in these websites. It has seven million dollars,

926
00:47:06,800 --> 00:47:09,480
Speaker 3: but that feels not right. Cap it fourteen million? I know.

927
00:47:10,120 --> 00:47:14,719
Speaker 3: The point is, like he's debating this crack. Do I

928
00:47:14,800 --> 00:47:17,600
Speaker 3: just say I'm done, I played my career, I made

929
00:47:17,640 --> 00:47:20,120
Speaker 3: my money. Or is it worth it to like going

930
00:47:20,160 --> 00:47:22,440
Speaker 3: into reserve and then crack too? The thing about it

931
00:47:22,480 --> 00:47:25,080
Speaker 3: is if you go, if you get surgery, you then

932
00:47:25,200 --> 00:47:27,960
Speaker 3: have to rehab like you're gonna play again. So like

933
00:47:28,040 --> 00:47:30,560
Speaker 3: you can't just say I had surgery. Oh I'm just

934
00:47:30,640 --> 00:47:32,920
Speaker 3: I'm retiring now. No, the Saints are gonna rehab you.

935
00:47:33,160 --> 00:47:35,400
Speaker 3: They're gonna think you're coming back. Right, you can go

936
00:47:35,440 --> 00:47:38,080
Speaker 3: through the whole process of rehabbing for a year to

937
00:47:38,200 --> 00:47:40,439
Speaker 3: maybe just again retire in a year from now.

938
00:47:41,000 --> 00:47:43,200
Speaker 4: And like you said, the guy made like, yeah, two

939
00:47:43,280 --> 00:47:47,040
Speaker 4: hundred million for let's just call him a mediocre quarterback.

940
00:47:47,080 --> 00:47:50,279
Speaker 4: I mean, a ridiculous amount of money in a zero

941
00:47:50,520 --> 00:47:54,799
Speaker 4: playoff wins, regular season record seventy seven and ninety two.

942
00:47:55,160 --> 00:47:57,680
Speaker 3: Just for me, just like it's just it was it

943
00:47:57,719 --> 00:48:00,319
Speaker 3: was better, you know before the last couple year. Well,

944
00:48:00,480 --> 00:48:05,240
Speaker 3: I just think, like again he he just when guys

945
00:48:05,280 --> 00:48:08,480
Speaker 3: are close to retirement, it's better to just retire than

946
00:48:08,520 --> 00:48:09,799
Speaker 3: it is to stick it. Well, that's why the Aaron

947
00:48:09,840 --> 00:48:11,960
Speaker 3: Rodgers thinking like, dude, just retire, just be you want

948
00:48:12,000 --> 00:48:14,080
Speaker 3: to retire, just be done with it. And so I

949
00:48:14,080 --> 00:48:16,600
Speaker 3: give car credit for saying, like, look, man, I've had

950
00:48:16,680 --> 00:48:19,560
Speaker 3: my career. I'm not getting surgery. You know, I think

951
00:48:19,600 --> 00:48:21,480
Speaker 3: he has his ministry that he wants to be a pastor.

952
00:48:21,520 --> 00:48:23,600
Speaker 3: I think I'm right on that, like he has another

953
00:48:23,920 --> 00:48:26,000
Speaker 3: I think too. That's one decision here, Sorry, brod I

954
00:48:26,040 --> 00:48:28,399
Speaker 3: he cutting you off. There's one decision here, right, when

955
00:48:28,440 --> 00:48:32,120
Speaker 3: players already sort of have a second path, like Rogers

956
00:48:32,160 --> 00:48:34,920
Speaker 3: to me has no second path. Is podcast is like

957
00:48:34,920 --> 00:48:41,040
Speaker 3: like it's not a second back, as I say, as

958
00:48:41,080 --> 00:48:45,839
Speaker 3: I podcast, but you know, like car sort of has

959
00:48:45,880 --> 00:48:49,120
Speaker 3: this next life already ready for him, and so it

960
00:48:49,239 --> 00:48:52,160
Speaker 3: makes it much easier to say I'm done playing football,

961
00:48:52,320 --> 00:48:55,760
Speaker 3: I'm not getting surgery, and I can go do my ministry,

962
00:48:55,880 --> 00:48:58,120
Speaker 3: or I can do something you know, related to religion

963
00:48:58,120 --> 00:49:01,080
Speaker 3: and by church and already have I'm sure he jumped

964
00:49:01,080 --> 00:49:04,319
Speaker 3: in today. It was like he has another life and

965
00:49:04,320 --> 00:49:05,880
Speaker 3: that makes it a lot easier to retire.

966
00:49:06,280 --> 00:49:09,719
Speaker 4: How about the pressure on this kid, though Tyler's show.

967
00:49:09,840 --> 00:49:12,840
Speaker 4: How about the pressure on him. He's really only played

968
00:49:13,000 --> 00:49:16,560
Speaker 4: one full season without injury, So, oh man, he's.

969
00:49:16,400 --> 00:49:19,160
Speaker 3: Older than you. He's had life, he's had life opportunity.

970
00:49:19,200 --> 00:49:22,840
Speaker 3: He was justin Herbert's backup at Orgon right, right, Okay,

971
00:49:23,280 --> 00:49:24,600
Speaker 3: that's crazy. You think.

972
00:49:26,239 --> 00:49:28,239
Speaker 2: Sixteen seems so long ago?

973
00:49:28,400 --> 00:49:32,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, it five and a half.

974
00:49:32,080 --> 00:49:32,360
Speaker 4: Guys.

975
00:49:32,400 --> 00:49:35,839
Speaker 2: By the way, that's what's weird to me though, is

976
00:49:36,680 --> 00:49:39,200
Speaker 2: it's it's interesting how Derek Carr has always looked at

977
00:49:39,400 --> 00:49:41,040
Speaker 2: and I trust me, I'm not trying to prop this

978
00:49:41,120 --> 00:49:43,480
Speaker 2: guy up like he was a difference maker. He was

979
00:49:43,880 --> 00:49:47,120
Speaker 2: the definition of average for eleven years. But you can

980
00:49:47,160 --> 00:49:49,239
Speaker 2: do a whole lot worse than average. And it's just

981
00:49:49,320 --> 00:49:53,799
Speaker 2: funny how he's always viewed from like this negative point

982
00:49:53,840 --> 00:49:56,239
Speaker 2: of view, where you know, if you look at his

983
00:49:56,920 --> 00:49:59,680
Speaker 2: his overall record, yeah, he has a losing record. Some

984
00:49:59,719 --> 00:50:01,839
Speaker 2: of that that is on him. Some of that's the

985
00:50:01,840 --> 00:50:04,680
Speaker 2: beginning of his career with the Raiders, who were a

986
00:50:05,200 --> 00:50:09,200
Speaker 2: grease fire like talent wise. I think it was zero

987
00:50:09,239 --> 00:50:11,560
Speaker 2: to ten to start his career, and I remember maybe

988
00:50:11,600 --> 00:50:14,200
Speaker 2: that's what started it. There's so many people like, oh,

989
00:50:14,239 --> 00:50:16,800
Speaker 2: Derek Carr, and I'm like, have you seen that roster?

990
00:50:17,800 --> 00:50:21,160
Speaker 2: I don't know who's working wonders with that roster. And

991
00:50:21,160 --> 00:50:24,200
Speaker 2: and the other part of this is okay, Again, passer

992
00:50:24,280 --> 00:50:26,319
Speaker 2: rating is just an entry point. It's not the end

993
00:50:26,360 --> 00:50:28,520
Speaker 2: all be y'all. But if you look at Derek Carr's

994
00:50:28,520 --> 00:50:30,920
Speaker 2: passer rating was ninety two point eight for his career,

995
00:50:31,480 --> 00:50:35,040
Speaker 2: league average last season was ninety two point three. Right,

996
00:50:35,120 --> 00:50:39,360
Speaker 2: So he's basically given you average quarterbacking for eleven years. Again,

997
00:50:39,400 --> 00:50:41,239
Speaker 2: you can't do worse. But if you look at a

998
00:50:41,280 --> 00:50:44,759
Speaker 2: guy like bow Knicks. Bo Nicks with the Broncos last

999
00:50:44,800 --> 00:50:48,520
Speaker 2: season successful rookie year, twenty nine touchdown passes, twelve picks,

1000
00:50:48,880 --> 00:50:50,880
Speaker 2: threw for over thirty seven hundred yards, a ton of

1001
00:50:50,880 --> 00:50:54,520
Speaker 2: completions all that. Bo Nicks's passer rating last year was

1002
00:50:54,640 --> 00:50:58,840
Speaker 2: ninety three point three. Like in the same zip code,

1003
00:50:58,880 --> 00:51:01,400
Speaker 2: Like they're on the same cold the sack their neighbors,

1004
00:51:01,719 --> 00:51:04,680
Speaker 2: Derek Carr and bow Knicks. The question is would the

1005
00:51:04,680 --> 00:51:10,520
Speaker 2: Broncos sign up today for another decade of production as

1006
00:51:10,560 --> 00:51:13,560
Speaker 2: what bow Knicks did. Absolutely they would. And all we're

1007
00:51:13,600 --> 00:51:16,560
Speaker 2: doing is crushing Derek Carr for doing exactly that. It's

1008
00:51:16,600 --> 00:51:18,040
Speaker 2: just funny to me how that works.

1009
00:51:18,400 --> 00:51:20,520
Speaker 3: I mean, I think part of it is obviously you

1010
00:51:20,560 --> 00:51:22,879
Speaker 3: know his brother and the way he had his NFL career,

1011
00:51:23,000 --> 00:51:25,400
Speaker 3: go plays a role and had a discussion about him,

1012
00:51:25,480 --> 00:51:28,319
Speaker 3: and also to like I try to I don't think

1013
00:51:28,320 --> 00:51:29,880
Speaker 3: I'm I'm on this way with the way I talk

1014
00:51:29,920 --> 00:51:31,840
Speaker 3: about it, like he blocked me on social media, Like

1015
00:51:31,880 --> 00:51:33,960
Speaker 3: it's just like he does. He's done like things like

1016
00:51:34,000 --> 00:51:36,879
Speaker 3: that where you're like, I never talked. I went when

1017
00:51:36,880 --> 00:51:38,440
Speaker 3: he when he when I realized he blocked me, I

1018
00:51:38,440 --> 00:51:40,719
Speaker 3: went and looked. I never tweeted once about him, like

1019
00:51:40,760 --> 00:51:46,800
Speaker 3: it's like the other media members said, Derek Carr, I've never.

1020
00:51:47,320 --> 00:51:50,960
Speaker 4: After him just based on I don't care gp.

1021
00:51:51,800 --> 00:51:57,799
Speaker 3: G but like but like it just it. I don't crack.

1022
00:51:57,880 --> 00:51:59,680
Speaker 3: I blocked op of people to don't worry it's not

1023
00:51:59,719 --> 00:52:01,200
Speaker 3: but don't have a reason for it. I just don't.

1024
00:52:01,200 --> 00:52:03,520
Speaker 3: I don't block him without actually actually tweeting about them. Ever.

1025
00:52:04,440 --> 00:52:07,160
Speaker 3: So I mean those you know, rub people the wrong way. Sometimes.

1026
00:52:07,200 --> 00:52:09,440
Speaker 3: You know, his brother, who I have a brother, had

1027
00:52:09,440 --> 00:52:11,480
Speaker 3: a brother in the NFL. I get defending your brother

1028
00:52:11,520 --> 00:52:14,319
Speaker 3: on on on the media, but it was so over

1029
00:52:14,360 --> 00:52:16,440
Speaker 3: the top, like your his brother would be like best

1030
00:52:16,480 --> 00:52:19,120
Speaker 3: card of the NFL, Derek Carr. You're like, what right,

1031
00:52:19,280 --> 00:52:20,920
Speaker 3: just be honest. Your brother doesn't think he's the best

1032
00:52:20,960 --> 00:52:23,799
Speaker 3: quarterback in the NFL. Why why would you say that?

1033
00:52:23,960 --> 00:52:28,080
Speaker 3: Like so, I mean all those things are the narrative. Look,

1034
00:52:28,239 --> 00:52:30,160
Speaker 3: my brother was really good. I could get on and

1035
00:52:30,200 --> 00:52:32,120
Speaker 3: say my brother was four time all pro like I

1036
00:52:32,160 --> 00:52:34,760
Speaker 3: could say that about Mitch because he was that good.

1037
00:52:36,560 --> 00:52:38,560
Speaker 3: You can't say about Derek Carr. He wasn't that good.

1038
00:52:38,920 --> 00:52:41,840
Speaker 3: So I think that contribute to all of it. But

1039
00:52:41,920 --> 00:52:46,160
Speaker 3: again to Brian's point, still a good career, still made

1040
00:52:46,160 --> 00:52:48,680
Speaker 3: a lot of money. Second round quarterbacks typically don't have

1041
00:52:48,719 --> 00:52:50,799
Speaker 3: the careers that that the card. I have a question

1042
00:52:50,880 --> 00:52:54,120
Speaker 3: for you, Brian, as a Dolphins fan. Yeah, would you

1043
00:52:54,160 --> 00:52:56,759
Speaker 3: have taken like prime Derek Carr over to.

1044
00:52:59,480 --> 00:53:05,840
Speaker 2: I mean, that's that's a terrible reality, But there's not

1045
00:53:06,000 --> 00:53:08,480
Speaker 2: much separating to A from Derek Carr.

1046
00:53:09,080 --> 00:53:12,000
Speaker 3: That's my thing about I think like Derek Carr is

1047
00:53:12,000 --> 00:53:16,000
Speaker 3: in the group of just good needs a lot of

1048
00:53:16,000 --> 00:53:18,439
Speaker 3: help to win a playoff game quarterbacks.

1049
00:53:18,000 --> 00:53:22,080
Speaker 2: Right right right, Like to me, Derek Carr and Tua

1050
00:53:23,080 --> 00:53:26,040
Speaker 2: they're these like second tier quarterbacks where you need a

1051
00:53:26,040 --> 00:53:29,239
Speaker 2: lot around them. And we all know you're screwed if

1052
00:53:29,239 --> 00:53:31,759
Speaker 2: you don't have a quarterback. But they are examples of

1053
00:53:32,280 --> 00:53:36,200
Speaker 2: when you pay an average quarterback elite money. You're screwed

1054
00:53:36,200 --> 00:53:39,239
Speaker 2: that way too, because you have to skimp elsewhere on

1055
00:53:39,280 --> 00:53:41,840
Speaker 2: the roster and they're not good enough to compensate for that.

1056
00:53:42,719 --> 00:53:44,879
Speaker 2: And that's the reality of where you are. So these

1057
00:53:44,920 --> 00:53:48,480
Speaker 2: teams and they'll cling to those guys like, oh, at

1058
00:53:48,560 --> 00:53:52,360
Speaker 2: least he's you know, adequate, but you're paying him way

1059
00:53:52,440 --> 00:53:55,600
Speaker 2: more than he he's able to produce, and you're just

1060
00:53:55,640 --> 00:53:58,439
Speaker 2: not gonna get anywhere. So it's like, Okay, you've got

1061
00:53:58,440 --> 00:54:03,319
Speaker 2: someone that's you know, like a legit option, but you

1062
00:54:03,360 --> 00:54:06,200
Speaker 2: don't have someone that can give you a return on

1063
00:54:06,239 --> 00:54:09,919
Speaker 2: your investment. That's like, you know, like if you buy

1064
00:54:09,960 --> 00:54:13,400
Speaker 2: a car. I love my Nissan Ultima, it's not worth

1065
00:54:13,400 --> 00:54:16,759
Speaker 2: one hundred thousand dollars. That's the way these NFL contracts

1066
00:54:16,760 --> 00:54:19,880
Speaker 2: work with quarterbacks. If I paid one hundred thousand dollars

1067
00:54:19,920 --> 00:54:23,960
Speaker 2: for my Nissan Ultima, that is a terrible investment. And

1068
00:54:24,000 --> 00:54:26,880
Speaker 2: that's what teams do. They invest. They over invest in

1069
00:54:27,000 --> 00:54:30,360
Speaker 2: quarterbacks who are average or good, but they're not special,

1070
00:54:30,400 --> 00:54:33,680
Speaker 2: and they're paying them as if they're special, and they're

1071
00:54:33,680 --> 00:54:35,840
Speaker 2: not gonna get anywhere. They're gonna win. They're gonna be

1072
00:54:35,840 --> 00:54:38,440
Speaker 2: a middleing eight, nine to ten win team and go

1073
00:54:38,600 --> 00:54:40,840
Speaker 2: nowhere in the playoffs, and that's where they're gonna be

1074
00:54:40,920 --> 00:54:43,000
Speaker 2: for however long they have those quarterbacks.

1075
00:54:43,040 --> 00:54:45,960
Speaker 3: I think is I have defended teams that pay quarterbacks

1076
00:54:45,960 --> 00:54:49,000
Speaker 3: because you know, like the Dolphins, what are they gonna do?

1077
00:54:49,800 --> 00:54:52,120
Speaker 3: But they don't they have to pay two or they

1078
00:54:52,160 --> 00:54:54,240
Speaker 3: have to start over again and depend on a certain

1079
00:54:54,280 --> 00:54:56,799
Speaker 3: draft class. Like you know this now, I would say

1080
00:54:56,800 --> 00:54:59,200
Speaker 3: that like to it doesn't work out this year. This

1081
00:54:59,320 --> 00:55:01,040
Speaker 3: draft class is this is the year the quarterback. I

1082
00:55:01,040 --> 00:55:03,080
Speaker 3: mean they're going to be seven guys in the first round.

1083
00:55:03,120 --> 00:55:04,719
Speaker 3: I mean they're gonna be Yeah, go look at any

1084
00:55:04,760 --> 00:55:07,399
Speaker 3: mock drafting that doesn't even include I think some guys

1085
00:55:07,440 --> 00:55:09,040
Speaker 3: that are gonna be first round picks. This is the

1086
00:55:09,120 --> 00:55:11,319
Speaker 3: year if you want a quarterback. So, like, I could

1087
00:55:11,400 --> 00:55:13,760
Speaker 3: understand if a lot of teams this year move off guys.

1088
00:55:14,280 --> 00:55:16,120
Speaker 3: But if I would have told you the Dolphins should

1089
00:55:16,160 --> 00:55:17,920
Speaker 3: not pay two and go in this draft class, it

1090
00:55:17,960 --> 00:55:20,760
Speaker 3: would have been like, oh, you know right. So sometimes

1091
00:55:20,960 --> 00:55:24,279
Speaker 3: they just they have to. They don't have a choice.

1092
00:55:24,400 --> 00:55:26,799
Speaker 3: But again, but I will say that I think that

1093
00:55:26,800 --> 00:55:30,439
Speaker 3: that again to a car, these guys are good, not great.

1094
00:55:30,920 --> 00:55:32,040
Speaker 3: Have to have a lot of round them. It doesn't

1095
00:55:32,040 --> 00:55:34,279
Speaker 3: mean the NFL career is bad though, now Tua and

1096
00:55:34,480 --> 00:55:37,480
Speaker 3: car though, to be fair Cars second round picked too,

1097
00:55:37,560 --> 00:55:38,920
Speaker 3: is a first round pick. You have to judge them

1098
00:55:38,960 --> 00:55:41,960
Speaker 3: off off where you're drafted. Unfortunately that's not fair to

1099
00:55:42,040 --> 00:55:45,480
Speaker 3: some guys, but that's the way your career ultimately gets

1100
00:55:45,520 --> 00:55:48,160
Speaker 3: looked at. First round pick, second round pick. How's your

1101
00:55:48,160 --> 00:55:49,760
Speaker 3: career go off of that?

1102
00:55:49,760 --> 00:55:53,759
Speaker 2: That's right, like car was thirty sixth overall, Tua was

1103
00:55:53,880 --> 00:55:57,040
Speaker 2: fifth overall, one spot ahead of Herbert, you know, and

1104
00:55:57,080 --> 00:56:00,200
Speaker 2: it's like, well that's a different tax bracket all together.

1105
00:56:00,040 --> 00:56:03,320
Speaker 2: Over the top five pick, the expectation should be a

1106
00:56:03,360 --> 00:56:05,920
Speaker 2: lot higher. I just it's a good point. The timing matters.

1107
00:56:06,160 --> 00:56:09,960
Speaker 2: But I give the Broncos credit where they're like, what,

1108
00:56:10,200 --> 00:56:13,719
Speaker 2: we're moving off Russ right, like, we're paying him way

1109
00:56:13,760 --> 00:56:17,160
Speaker 2: too much money. He's not productive to the same level

1110
00:56:17,440 --> 00:56:20,400
Speaker 2: as what we're paying him, and their whole thing it

1111
00:56:20,480 --> 00:56:22,719
Speaker 2: was like, okay, so what's your plan? Who are you

1112
00:56:22,760 --> 00:56:25,160
Speaker 2: gonna draft? What are you gonna do? They're like, I

1113
00:56:25,160 --> 00:56:26,680
Speaker 2: don't know, We'll just kind of figure it out as

1114
00:56:26,719 --> 00:56:29,600
Speaker 2: we go along. They're just like, we know we're moving

1115
00:56:29,640 --> 00:56:32,319
Speaker 2: on from Russ, and they drafted bon Knicks and through

1116
00:56:32,360 --> 00:56:35,800
Speaker 2: one year that was a successful rookie year for boon Knicks,

1117
00:56:35,840 --> 00:56:37,960
Speaker 2: So we'll see where it goes from here. But the

1118
00:56:38,000 --> 00:56:40,400
Speaker 2: Broncos are an example of a team that's just like,

1119
00:56:41,000 --> 00:56:44,360
Speaker 2: we don't have a defined Plan B, but we'll figure

1120
00:56:44,400 --> 00:56:46,200
Speaker 2: it out as we go along. And we do know

1121
00:56:46,280 --> 00:56:49,360
Speaker 2: Plan A ain't working, so we're not sticking to something

1122
00:56:49,400 --> 00:56:51,440
Speaker 2: that isn't working. There are a lot of teams that

1123
00:56:51,480 --> 00:56:54,080
Speaker 2: don't do that. They're like, well, we've got a quarterback

1124
00:56:54,120 --> 00:56:58,680
Speaker 2: that isn't a disaster, so let's overpay him. And that's

1125
00:56:58,760 --> 00:56:59,719
Speaker 2: just a bad way to go.

1126
00:56:59,840 --> 00:57:00,200
Speaker 4: Man.

1127
00:57:00,520 --> 00:57:03,760
Speaker 2: I would rather go back into the draft and swing

1128
00:57:03,800 --> 00:57:07,120
Speaker 2: for the fences, like my griefs did you know? And

1129
00:57:07,120 --> 00:57:09,879
Speaker 2: there's a chance that you could crap out. Yeah, you're

1130
00:57:09,880 --> 00:57:11,719
Speaker 2: not gonna get the next Mahomes that you hit a

1131
00:57:11,760 --> 00:57:14,200
Speaker 2: Grand Slam. It's not gonna happen. But you know, you

1132
00:57:14,239 --> 00:57:16,520
Speaker 2: could have a far worse quarterback. But at least you

1133
00:57:16,640 --> 00:57:19,800
Speaker 2: have the chance to be better and maybe much better,

1134
00:57:20,440 --> 00:57:21,800
Speaker 2: and to me, is a much better path.

1135
00:57:22,200 --> 00:57:24,480
Speaker 3: I've said this, you know quite often I think that

1136
00:57:25,640 --> 00:57:27,640
Speaker 3: you just have to keep swinging the draft. You find

1137
00:57:27,680 --> 00:57:31,080
Speaker 3: someone and yeah you might not like you know the ultimately,

1138
00:57:31,120 --> 00:57:33,200
Speaker 3: how how that feels, or like what you have to

1139
00:57:33,240 --> 00:57:35,400
Speaker 3: do for that, But it's a most important position in

1140
00:57:35,400 --> 00:57:37,440
Speaker 3: all sports. You have to keep taking swings.

1141
00:57:38,280 --> 00:57:41,000
Speaker 2: You do, you do absolutely and some of these teams

1142
00:57:41,040 --> 00:57:43,960
Speaker 2: are swinging from the heels to find a guy and

1143
00:57:44,040 --> 00:57:48,760
Speaker 2: other teams aren't. The Saints, they could have drafted Shador

1144
00:57:48,840 --> 00:57:51,160
Speaker 2: Sanders ninth overall, we thought that might be a landing

1145
00:57:51,200 --> 00:57:55,280
Speaker 2: spot for him, you know, and he goes one forty

1146
00:57:55,320 --> 00:57:57,880
Speaker 2: fourth overall and instead they have Tyler Shuck. It's gonna

1147
00:57:57,880 --> 00:57:59,720
Speaker 2: be interesting to compare those two quarterbacks.

1148
00:57:59,760 --> 00:58:03,520
Speaker 3: Shut think about think about this though. The Saints, I

1149
00:58:03,520 --> 00:58:09,320
Speaker 3: would imagine knew the severity of of the injury to Carr,

1150
00:58:09,440 --> 00:58:11,640
Speaker 3: and what is I would imagine he told them before

1151
00:58:11,680 --> 00:58:13,600
Speaker 3: he's been thinking about retiring. I don't think it's just

1152
00:58:13,640 --> 00:58:20,440
Speaker 3: like right, yeah, yeah, and they still passed on Sir Anders.

1153
00:58:20,960 --> 00:58:22,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, totally right.

1154
00:58:23,840 --> 00:58:25,600
Speaker 3: And I know at some point, you know, and we

1155
00:58:25,600 --> 00:58:28,320
Speaker 3: we've already seen like the distraction, right Like chemist the

1156
00:58:28,360 --> 00:58:30,880
Speaker 3: Fanski asked day one of mini camp, why is Dylan

1157
00:58:30,880 --> 00:58:34,280
Speaker 3: Gabriel getting reps over Sirs Sanders? That this is why

1158
00:58:34,720 --> 00:58:37,080
Speaker 3: all this stuff about distraction, This is why you don't

1159
00:58:37,080 --> 00:58:40,640
Speaker 3: want to be doing these questions all the time. But

1160
00:58:40,680 --> 00:58:43,880
Speaker 3: they still can. They chose to go in that direction,

1161
00:58:44,040 --> 00:58:46,680
Speaker 3: Like knowing that Carr was going to be out potentially

1162
00:58:46,760 --> 00:58:49,720
Speaker 3: for a long time, they said, now we're out on Sanders.

1163
00:58:50,280 --> 00:58:54,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, guys over on bet MGM. But they have something

1164
00:58:54,680 --> 00:58:57,440
Speaker 4: that's very interesting that I don't know. I can't name

1165
00:58:57,520 --> 00:58:59,920
Speaker 4: a single site that does this. So I went to

1166
00:59:00,160 --> 00:59:03,520
Speaker 4: New Orleans Saints regular season wins. You can bet over

1167
00:59:03,640 --> 00:59:05,400
Speaker 4: under two and a half, four and a half, six

1168
00:59:05,440 --> 00:59:07,120
Speaker 4: and a half, eight and a half, or ten and

1169
00:59:07,120 --> 00:59:10,480
Speaker 4: a half wins. So I'll use a medium number here.

1170
00:59:10,560 --> 00:59:12,880
Speaker 4: Let's use the six and a half under six and

1171
00:59:12,920 --> 00:59:16,120
Speaker 4: a half minus a dollar eighty five the car tree.

1172
00:59:16,360 --> 00:59:19,480
Speaker 4: The car retirement did affect this, just to let you know.

1173
00:59:19,880 --> 00:59:23,000
Speaker 4: It was not that number, So it moved about thirty

1174
00:59:23,080 --> 00:59:26,080
Speaker 4: or forty cents. But over on bet MGM, you can

1175
00:59:26,680 --> 00:59:30,200
Speaker 4: a variety of options there for each team season wins.

1176
00:59:31,160 --> 00:59:32,919
Speaker 4: One of the reasons why we love them. So there

1177
00:59:32,920 --> 00:59:33,160
Speaker 4: you go.

1178
00:59:33,640 --> 00:59:36,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, no doubt, And that's a little bit of a move.

1179
00:59:36,360 --> 00:59:39,560
Speaker 2: To Jeff's point, if this is an actual difference maker,

1180
00:59:39,720 --> 00:59:44,520
Speaker 2: you're gonna see crazy movement. If Patrick Mahomes is like,

1181
00:59:44,600 --> 00:59:46,080
Speaker 2: I'm retiring, it's for.

1182
00:59:46,120 --> 00:59:51,280
Speaker 3: Guests four wins.

1183
00:59:51,320 --> 00:59:54,960
Speaker 2: Absolutely. Yeah, I'm not looking forward to our Saints Panthers

1184
00:59:55,040 --> 00:59:58,280
Speaker 2: yearly wager, Jeff, But based on principle, I think we

1185
00:59:58,320 --> 00:59:59,200
Speaker 2: have to make it again.

1186
00:59:59,320 --> 01:00:02,480
Speaker 3: You know, I like the Panthers. I think the Panthers

1187
01:00:02,480 --> 01:00:04,040
Speaker 3: could be a playoff team.

1188
01:00:04,280 --> 01:00:06,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, hey, they're moving in the right direction. There's no

1189
01:00:06,760 --> 01:00:09,960
Speaker 2: doubt We've got Jeff Schwartz, eight year NFL veteran Bill

01:01:38,280 --> 01:01:40,560
Speaker 2: of bet MGM, and he was like, we can't find

1219
01:01:40,560 --> 01:01:43,200
Speaker 2: anyone to bet on these knicks, right, do you have

1220
01:01:43,360 --> 01:01:48,520
Speaker 2: anything similar today with basketball hockey? Any any team that

1221
01:01:48,560 --> 01:01:50,000
Speaker 2: you're trying to get action on.

1222
01:01:52,040 --> 01:01:55,280
Speaker 5: Yeah, probably from a hockey standpoint, we'd like to get

1223
01:01:55,320 --> 01:01:57,320
Speaker 5: a little bit more of Winnipeg Jets bets, just a

1224
01:01:57,320 --> 01:01:59,640
Speaker 5: lot of stars action. But the rest of the we're

1225
01:01:59,680 --> 01:02:03,400
Speaker 5: actually doing okay, you know that Thundered Nugget series. We're

1226
01:02:03,400 --> 01:02:05,840
Speaker 5: actually getting pretty decent two way action just off the

1227
01:02:05,840 --> 01:02:07,920
Speaker 5: fact that the Nuggets have won a couple of games

1228
01:02:07,920 --> 01:02:11,440
Speaker 5: here and Pacers Calves with the Calves injuries, even though

1229
01:02:11,440 --> 01:02:13,920
Speaker 5: they're that are all back healthy today. The fact that

1230
01:02:13,960 --> 01:02:16,400
Speaker 5: the Pagers WI look pretty good is able to drive

1231
01:02:16,520 --> 01:02:18,840
Speaker 5: us some at least a little bit of two way actions.

1232
01:02:18,880 --> 01:02:21,520
Speaker 5: So not as bad as the Knick series that the

1233
01:02:21,560 --> 01:02:22,680
Speaker 5: Seams was talking about.

1234
01:02:23,880 --> 01:02:27,800
Speaker 3: I'm curious how much money or action you saw on

1235
01:02:28,000 --> 01:02:31,680
Speaker 3: the Celtics down two to win the series, the Calves

1236
01:02:31,680 --> 01:02:33,560
Speaker 3: down two to win the series. Did you see a

1237
01:02:33,920 --> 01:02:36,000
Speaker 3: wagers come in from people just trying to get me

1238
01:02:36,080 --> 01:02:38,760
Speaker 3: a little more value on them to come back in

1239
01:02:38,760 --> 01:02:39,360
Speaker 3: those series?

1240
01:02:40,600 --> 01:02:43,720
Speaker 5: Yeah, we haven't. It annoys me a little bit that

1241
01:02:43,800 --> 01:02:47,560
Speaker 5: Boston went down to nothing quickly because they were we

1242
01:02:47,560 --> 01:02:49,520
Speaker 5: were in a fantastic position when it came to them.

1243
01:02:50,080 --> 01:02:53,520
Speaker 5: Our two biggest winners from the future standpoint on the

1244
01:02:53,600 --> 01:02:55,960
Speaker 5: NBA Finals is the Thunder and the Celtics. We're the

1245
01:02:55,960 --> 01:02:59,080
Speaker 5: two biggest favorites. So the fact that people are now

1246
01:02:59,120 --> 01:03:00,960
Speaker 5: able to just kind of get a better price and

1247
01:03:00,960 --> 01:03:03,640
Speaker 5: they basically they have all season on the Celtics, we've

1248
01:03:03,680 --> 01:03:06,440
Speaker 5: definitely seen them come in. Even yesterday we took a

1249
01:03:06,440 --> 01:03:09,840
Speaker 5: fifty k beat on the Celtics Final Future at plus

1250
01:03:09,840 --> 01:03:14,040
Speaker 5: three twenty five, So yeah, definitely, just because I mean

1251
01:03:14,040 --> 01:03:15,960
Speaker 5: this is if you're looking at from the Celtics perfective.

1252
01:03:16,000 --> 01:03:17,600
Speaker 5: This is the best number basically you've had on the

1253
01:03:17,680 --> 01:03:21,480
Speaker 5: fall season. So people see that, they understand that probably

1254
01:03:21,480 --> 01:03:23,680
Speaker 5: decent chances will come back, and especially after last night,

1255
01:03:24,320 --> 01:03:26,280
Speaker 5: so we're definitely seeing a lot of action, a lot

1256
01:03:26,280 --> 01:03:27,000
Speaker 5: more than I would like.

1257
01:03:28,320 --> 01:03:31,360
Speaker 4: Christian, I'm friends with you know, some of the bookmakers

1258
01:03:31,400 --> 01:03:34,720
Speaker 4: here in town. Well at least they portray they're my friends.

1259
01:03:35,720 --> 01:03:40,439
Speaker 4: But yeah, so but anyway, you know, here in this town,

1260
01:03:41,360 --> 01:03:44,160
Speaker 4: it's it's a tough sell. And I've said this on

1261
01:03:44,200 --> 01:03:48,240
Speaker 4: our program before when they have their monthly meetings and oh,

1262
01:03:48,240 --> 01:03:50,040
Speaker 4: what do we make in slots? How much we make

1263
01:03:50,080 --> 01:03:51,840
Speaker 4: in black check? What do we make in petty slots?

1264
01:03:51,880 --> 01:03:56,200
Speaker 4: What do you making? You know, food restaurants? And then

1265
01:03:56,240 --> 01:03:58,479
Speaker 4: they have to say, oh, we had a losing month

1266
01:03:58,480 --> 01:04:01,040
Speaker 4: in a sports book, like no one doesn't happen often,

1267
01:04:01,440 --> 01:04:05,439
Speaker 4: But the pencil pushers upstairs don't seem to understand that,

1268
01:04:05,880 --> 01:04:09,280
Speaker 4: now do you, guys, because you're a bet MGM sportsbook brand,

1269
01:04:09,720 --> 01:04:13,400
Speaker 4: like you do have those same losing days though, like

1270
01:04:13,640 --> 01:04:17,160
Speaker 4: I would think that yesterday was a losing I know

1271
01:04:17,240 --> 01:04:20,320
Speaker 4: here I was out and about it was probably a

1272
01:04:20,320 --> 01:04:24,400
Speaker 4: losing day NBA basketball wise because of the Celtics. But

1273
01:04:24,440 --> 01:04:28,400
Speaker 4: I'm sure you have bosses above that understands the trials

1274
01:04:28,440 --> 01:04:32,160
Speaker 4: and tribulations of this industry. But from a personal level,

1275
01:04:32,520 --> 01:04:35,840
Speaker 4: before you even join this industry, are you surprised that

1276
01:04:36,000 --> 01:04:40,080
Speaker 4: sportsbooks do have losing days, that you guys have days that, hey,

1277
01:04:40,120 --> 01:04:42,400
Speaker 4: the betters, even though they're laying eleven to ten or

1278
01:04:42,400 --> 01:04:45,040
Speaker 4: even more, they get the best to you sometimes. Is

1279
01:04:45,040 --> 01:04:47,880
Speaker 4: that a shocking revelation or did you kind of expect it?

1280
01:04:49,000 --> 01:04:51,640
Speaker 5: Yeah, so I came from the casino industry too, which

1281
01:04:51,760 --> 01:04:53,919
Speaker 5: obviously what you're talking about, and there's not too many

1282
01:04:53,960 --> 01:04:54,680
Speaker 5: losing days.

1283
01:04:54,480 --> 01:04:55,360
Speaker 1: From that shorepoint.

1284
01:04:55,760 --> 01:04:57,360
Speaker 5: Usually I want to jack on it. So it was

1285
01:04:57,440 --> 01:05:00,200
Speaker 5: at least for me a little bit different to be like, oh, wow, like,

1286
01:05:00,680 --> 01:05:02,600
Speaker 5: you know, we can't take any bets on you know,

1287
01:05:02,600 --> 01:05:04,280
Speaker 5: a sham of suggest that we can't take any bets

1288
01:05:04,320 --> 01:05:06,320
Speaker 5: on the Knicks and the Celtics one by one hundred.

1289
01:05:06,440 --> 01:05:09,000
Speaker 5: You know, those type of things happen in in sports,

1290
01:05:09,080 --> 01:05:11,960
Speaker 5: and sometimes it's just the way that it rolls, and

1291
01:05:11,960 --> 01:05:16,960
Speaker 5: then it's definitely different. Yeah, it's just all of a sudden,

1292
01:05:17,080 --> 01:05:20,240
Speaker 5: what are we gonna do everybody's bet betting on the Celtics.

1293
01:05:20,800 --> 01:05:22,560
Speaker 5: You know, there's we can move the line as much

1294
01:05:22,600 --> 01:05:24,680
Speaker 5: as we can to try and encourage the mixed action,

1295
01:05:24,760 --> 01:05:26,800
Speaker 5: but sometimes it is what it is, and you know,

1296
01:05:26,840 --> 01:05:28,880
Speaker 5: people don't want to bet on the Cleveland Browns no

1297
01:05:28,920 --> 01:05:29,680
Speaker 5: matter what number.

1298
01:05:29,720 --> 01:05:30,560
Speaker 1: We kind of get them.

1299
01:05:30,520 --> 01:05:35,120
Speaker 5: Right, So so so really, you know, there's luckily from

1300
01:05:35,200 --> 01:05:37,200
Speaker 5: up top, you know us a bet of GM. They're

1301
01:05:37,200 --> 01:05:39,080
Speaker 5: well aware that this is this is how it goes.

1302
01:05:39,160 --> 01:05:41,320
Speaker 5: You know, it ebbs and flows, and there's good months

1303
01:05:41,360 --> 01:05:43,040
Speaker 5: and every now and then there there is some bad months.

1304
01:05:43,080 --> 01:05:46,000
Speaker 5: So we just try to mitigate as much as we

1305
01:05:46,080 --> 01:05:48,280
Speaker 5: can on those bad months and hope to roll with

1306
01:05:48,320 --> 01:05:49,960
Speaker 5: it on the good months and try to talk about

1307
01:05:49,960 --> 01:05:50,760
Speaker 5: them sometimes.

1308
01:05:51,440 --> 01:05:53,680
Speaker 2: So Christian, if you look at these teams in the

1309
01:05:53,760 --> 01:05:56,680
Speaker 2: NBA playoffs that have a two to one lead, there's

1310
01:05:56,680 --> 01:05:59,560
Speaker 2: still long shots to win a championship, right, So you

1311
01:05:59,600 --> 01:06:03,320
Speaker 2: have Minnesota's nine to one, Nuggets are eleven to one,

1312
01:06:03,440 --> 01:06:06,240
Speaker 2: Knicks are twenty to one, and the Pacers are thirty

1313
01:06:06,240 --> 01:06:09,320
Speaker 2: to one to win it all. With those teams having

1314
01:06:09,320 --> 01:06:12,280
Speaker 2: two to one leads, which team have you seen the

1315
01:06:12,280 --> 01:06:15,320
Speaker 2: most uptick in in terms of people betting that they

1316
01:06:15,360 --> 01:06:16,160
Speaker 2: will win it all.

1317
01:06:17,520 --> 01:06:20,360
Speaker 5: It's definitely been The Nuggets are the ones you're talking there.

1318
01:06:21,320 --> 01:06:23,640
Speaker 5: You know, they've actually been a pretty decent price at

1319
01:06:23,640 --> 01:06:25,840
Speaker 5: some points in the season. I know, not too long

1320
01:06:25,880 --> 01:06:29,120
Speaker 5: ago there were there were sixty seven to one, so

1321
01:06:29,160 --> 01:06:30,880
Speaker 5: we definitely took some action there. And the fact that,

1322
01:06:31,000 --> 01:06:33,000
Speaker 5: like you know, they're already up to one on these

1323
01:06:33,160 --> 01:06:35,840
Speaker 5: Thunder team. If they do beat the Thunder, you would

1324
01:06:35,840 --> 01:06:37,600
Speaker 5: have given them a pretty good shot to suddenly go

1325
01:06:37,640 --> 01:06:40,040
Speaker 5: ahead and win it win it all here. So and

1326
01:06:40,440 --> 01:06:42,680
Speaker 5: off the back that you know, they have arguably the

1327
01:06:42,720 --> 01:06:45,000
Speaker 5: best player in the league and you know, have already

1328
01:06:45,040 --> 01:06:47,000
Speaker 5: won a championship, so that makes it pretty easy to

1329
01:06:47,000 --> 01:06:49,080
Speaker 5: bet on. And as of right now, they're our biggest

1330
01:06:49,120 --> 01:06:51,600
Speaker 5: liability and we have seen an uptick in the last

1331
01:06:51,640 --> 01:06:52,120
Speaker 5: week too.

1332
01:06:53,000 --> 01:06:55,440
Speaker 3: I want to get a baseball question here. As the

1333
01:06:55,560 --> 01:06:58,320
Speaker 3: general public caught on to how bad the Rockies are yet,

1334
01:06:59,080 --> 01:07:02,800
Speaker 3: I don't They've They've allowed nearly seven runs a game,

1335
01:07:02,840 --> 01:07:06,240
Speaker 3: They've won six games, and it's May eleventh for people

1336
01:07:06,240 --> 01:07:10,120
Speaker 3: who know that the season starts in March. So as

1337
01:07:10,120 --> 01:07:12,080
Speaker 3: a general public, I mean, I know the poet or

1338
01:07:12,120 --> 01:07:13,520
Speaker 3: the run line is two and a half today, but

1339
01:07:13,560 --> 01:07:15,360
Speaker 3: I mean that's gonna happen every now and then. But

1340
01:07:16,000 --> 01:07:19,480
Speaker 3: are people just fading the Rockies every day?

1341
01:07:19,920 --> 01:07:21,840
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean I feel like you're right. It is

1342
01:07:21,880 --> 01:07:24,440
Speaker 5: not talked about that they are on a historic pace,

1343
01:07:24,600 --> 01:07:27,400
Speaker 5: even from you know, watching the White Sox last year, right, right,

1344
01:07:27,520 --> 01:07:30,400
Speaker 5: they don't. They don't pace on twenty four games, so.

1345
01:07:31,400 --> 01:07:34,480
Speaker 1: You know, more decently through the season, we.

1346
01:07:34,440 --> 01:07:38,160
Speaker 5: Are a decent sample size of this point. Oh yeah,

1347
01:07:38,200 --> 01:07:41,240
Speaker 5: I mean it's always, uh, the team that they're playing

1348
01:07:41,280 --> 01:07:44,120
Speaker 5: is always a big favorite, so sometimes that discourages people

1349
01:07:44,160 --> 01:07:46,360
Speaker 5: a lot. But yeah, when the Rockies playing, we do

1350
01:07:46,440 --> 01:07:47,960
Speaker 5: not take many bets on them.

1351
01:07:48,360 --> 01:07:50,680
Speaker 4: You know, that was gonna be my question something like

1352
01:07:50,680 --> 01:07:53,720
Speaker 4: this to further expand on this, Like right now I'm

1353
01:07:53,720 --> 01:07:56,640
Speaker 4: looking at my screen. You guys have minus three point

1354
01:07:56,640 --> 01:08:00,880
Speaker 4: fifty on San Diego. Nobody that's close. I mean everyone

1355
01:08:00,960 --> 01:08:03,440
Speaker 4: is minus three to one, minus two ninety six, minus

1356
01:08:03,440 --> 01:08:07,400
Speaker 4: three zero six. So you guys don't want anything to

1357
01:08:07,480 --> 01:08:11,960
Speaker 4: do with anyone betting San Diego. But I guess you

1358
01:08:12,040 --> 01:08:15,080
Speaker 4: have to expect that. But do you actively say, guys,

1359
01:08:15,560 --> 01:08:18,320
Speaker 4: let let's make this uh, We're gonna make anyone that

1360
01:08:18,360 --> 01:08:22,479
Speaker 4: wants to play with us against this Colorades, rotten Colorado team,

1361
01:08:22,800 --> 01:08:25,320
Speaker 4: they're gonna have to lay a little bit more, or

1362
01:08:25,600 --> 01:08:27,519
Speaker 4: do you just go by you know what the general

1363
01:08:27,560 --> 01:08:30,080
Speaker 4: line is what some of the openers do, or but

1364
01:08:30,160 --> 01:08:32,479
Speaker 4: like I said, by seeing this line, you guys are

1365
01:08:32,640 --> 01:08:35,080
Speaker 4: out of whack compared to the market. But then again,

1366
01:08:35,120 --> 01:08:37,760
Speaker 4: I don't blame you. Is that something that's put into

1367
01:08:37,800 --> 01:08:39,200
Speaker 4: that line or or not?

1368
01:08:39,280 --> 01:08:39,599
Speaker 3: Really?

1369
01:08:40,920 --> 01:08:43,559
Speaker 5: Yeah, so from this one, you know, we just have

1370
01:08:43,600 --> 01:08:45,920
Speaker 5: a lean that's telling us that, you know, with the

1371
01:08:45,920 --> 01:08:48,960
Speaker 5: markets essentially at you know, minus three twenty five is

1372
01:08:49,040 --> 01:08:51,160
Speaker 5: to minus three thirty ish, but we have a lean

1373
01:08:51,200 --> 01:08:52,920
Speaker 5: that it should be a little bit higher. So that's

1374
01:08:52,960 --> 01:08:55,799
Speaker 5: why we're on the on that side of the spectrum. Basically,

1375
01:08:55,840 --> 01:08:57,679
Speaker 5: this is as far as we can possibly go without

1376
01:08:57,760 --> 01:09:00,799
Speaker 5: getting too too far, you know, away from market value.

1377
01:09:01,040 --> 01:09:04,240
Speaker 5: And yeah, just internally that's where our lean goes, and

1378
01:09:04,240 --> 01:09:06,680
Speaker 5: that's why we're going there. You know, it just might

1379
01:09:06,760 --> 01:09:09,240
Speaker 5: in general always be leaning against the Rockies. It's just

1380
01:09:09,280 --> 01:09:12,320
Speaker 5: from how our model builds, say, sure, but just just

1381
01:09:12,520 --> 01:09:14,639
Speaker 5: for at least for today's purposes, that's we're leaning.

1382
01:09:14,680 --> 01:09:16,920
Speaker 1: So that's where we end up. As the publicing thing too.

1383
01:09:16,800 --> 01:09:18,320
Speaker 5: I have to I'd have to dive a little deep

1384
01:09:18,360 --> 01:09:19,759
Speaker 5: to really see.

1385
01:09:19,600 --> 01:09:23,520
Speaker 4: What the public after seeing a twenty one nothing Saturday

1386
01:09:23,560 --> 01:09:28,000
Speaker 4: weekend when everyone's off game, it's gonna it would take

Speaker 4: really would. So good stuff.

1390
01:09:36,280 --> 01:09:38,400
Speaker 5: That's essentially the you know, the line that we're going

01:09:38,439 --> 01:09:40,320
Speaker 5: with here is you know you want to take it,

1400
01:09:58,160 --> 01:10:00,799
Speaker 2: we gotta lean. We're gonna lean in to some Isaac

Speaker 2: Lowencron right, Jo, that's always our lean. It's always a

1428
01:11:27,439 --> 01:11:31,160

1429
01:11:31,280 --> 01:11:35,960
Speaker 7: was a George Strait and Chris stapleson concert at The

1430
01:11:36,080 --> 01:11:40,000
Speaker 7: Link in Philadelphia. People out there, I wonder if they're

1431
01:11:40,040 --> 01:11:46,600
Speaker 7: familiar with the Chris Stapleton song Tennessee Whiskey. Well, last night, backstage,

1432
01:11:46,880 --> 01:11:52,439
Speaker 7: Chris Stapleton himself was serenaded with Tennessee Whiskey by a

1433
01:11:52,479 --> 01:12:02,479
Speaker 7: special guest. Listen, Yes, you're sweet.

1434
01:12:16,360 --> 01:12:17,200
Speaker 1: So what do you think of that?

1435
01:12:17,640 --> 01:12:19,679
Speaker 2: It's good? Yeah, I gotta guess, Can I guess who

1436
01:12:19,680 --> 01:12:19,960
Speaker 2: that is?

1437
01:12:20,240 --> 01:12:20,599
Speaker 1: For it?

1438
01:12:20,840 --> 01:12:25,160
Speaker 2: I know Jordan Mylatta has got some pipes.

1439
01:12:24,800 --> 01:12:26,519
Speaker 1: Good for you.

1440
01:12:28,080 --> 01:12:29,479
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's a really good singer.

1441
01:12:29,640 --> 01:12:30,559
Speaker 3: Good stop.

1442
01:12:30,640 --> 01:12:33,679
Speaker 2: Back to you guys, very nice, well done. I low

1443
01:12:34,240 --> 01:12:37,920
Speaker 2: music trivia. Love this. It's Fox Sports Radio's Countdown, presented

1444
01:12:37,920 --> 01:12:40,519
Speaker 2: by Bett MGM. Okay, we only have about a minute,

1445
01:12:40,560 --> 01:12:43,400
Speaker 2: but I wanted to throw this at you. Guys. Have

1446
01:12:43,520 --> 01:12:46,320
Speaker 2: you heard you remember this commercial? You might? This is old,

1447
01:12:46,439 --> 01:12:49,559
Speaker 2: old school, but it made me think of the NBA Playoffs.

1448
01:12:49,560 --> 01:12:50,120
Speaker 2: Listen to this.

1449
01:12:50,800 --> 01:12:56,080
Speaker 3: They make money of the old fashioned glade they.

1450
01:12:54,320 --> 01:12:59,599
Speaker 2: Named right, it's the old commercial they I was just Yeah,

1451
01:12:59,640 --> 01:13:03,320
Speaker 2: you're right. I was just thinking about the favorites in

1452
01:13:03,400 --> 01:13:06,800
Speaker 2: the NBA playoffs the second round, and a lot of

1453
01:13:06,800 --> 01:13:10,320
Speaker 2: them are facing a deficit right now. But which favorite

1454
01:13:10,640 --> 01:13:12,679
Speaker 2: do you think it's gonna have to work the hardest,

1455
01:13:12,760 --> 01:13:15,759
Speaker 2: you know, like sweat the most to earn a second

1456
01:13:15,840 --> 01:13:19,200
Speaker 2: round series win? Would you go with Celtics or the

1457
01:13:19,280 --> 01:13:23,760
Speaker 2: Calves in the East, or is it OKC or Minnesota

1458
01:13:23,800 --> 01:13:24,400
Speaker 2: in the West.

1459
01:13:24,920 --> 01:13:28,400
Speaker 3: Uh, it's I think it's okay, See I do do. Yeah,

1460
01:13:28,720 --> 01:13:31,559
Speaker 3: we'll talk about this game. I'd imagine coming up here.

1461
01:13:33,080 --> 01:13:36,439
Speaker 3: This is why we talk about experience. I think in

1462
01:13:36,520 --> 01:13:40,960
Speaker 3: these games because I'm like, okay, see first half today

1463
01:13:41,000 --> 01:13:44,479
Speaker 3: a lot, because I think they're gonna just like Game two,

1464
01:13:44,479 --> 01:13:46,559
Speaker 3: they're gonna start fasting. They have to win today. They're

1465
01:13:46,600 --> 01:13:50,479
Speaker 3: gonna start fast. But that last five seven minutes, man,

1466
01:13:51,160 --> 01:13:53,840
Speaker 3: Like they don't. They don't. They're not quite there yet,

1467
01:13:54,160 --> 01:13:56,040
Speaker 3: right the nexest team that might not be as good

1468
01:13:56,040 --> 01:13:58,200
Speaker 3: as they've been in years past, but they got those dudes.

1469
01:13:58,360 --> 01:14:01,599
Speaker 3: They've one championship. They've done it before war and it shows.

1470
01:14:02,240 --> 01:14:05,320
Speaker 3: And Jokic cho his own he said, like I stunk,

1471
01:14:05,360 --> 01:14:07,960
Speaker 3: he was oh for ten from three. He wasn't very good.

1472
01:14:08,439 --> 01:14:10,479
Speaker 3: I'm also in yolkic overs today. We'll talk about that.

1473
01:14:10,520 --> 01:14:13,840
Speaker 3: We get the props in a few minutes. Like, I

1474
01:14:14,320 --> 01:14:17,640
Speaker 3: think it's that. Look the Warriors and Timberwolves. That was

1475
01:14:17,640 --> 01:14:20,360
Speaker 3: an ugly game last night, but you know the Wolves

1476
01:14:20,360 --> 01:14:23,920
Speaker 3: won it. Cows are betteran pacers, I think. So we'll

1477
01:14:23,920 --> 01:14:24,559
Speaker 3: talk about all that.

1478
01:14:25,280 --> 01:14:28,640
Speaker 2: Yep, Yeah, no doubt. I think you're right. If you

1479
01:14:28,640 --> 01:14:32,880
Speaker 2: look at Denver, it's elevation. It's Jokic is the best

1480
01:14:32,880 --> 01:14:35,559
Speaker 2: player on the planet. Even though he's stunk last game,

1481
01:14:35,600 --> 01:14:39,439
Speaker 2: they still won in overtime, former champs everything you mentioned. Okay, soe,

1482
01:14:39,479 --> 01:14:43,479
Speaker 2: he's still young. That's why Hartenstein is taking three shots

1483
01:14:43,479 --> 01:14:46,200
Speaker 2: in overtime and missing all three of them? Like how

1484
01:14:46,479 --> 01:14:50,040
Speaker 2: how is that the guy that's taking these shots in overtime?

1485
01:14:50,200 --> 01:14:53,000
Speaker 2: Like that's the sign of an inexperienced team right there.

1486
01:14:53,000 --> 01:14:55,080
Speaker 2: So yeah, I think they're they're gonna have to sweat

1487
01:14:55,120 --> 01:14:57,240
Speaker 2: the most to get a second round win. All right,

1488
01:14:57,280 --> 01:15:00,160
Speaker 2: good stuff, we'll get to this coming up next. You've

1489

1505
01:15:58,360 --> 01:15:59,839
Speaker 2: with something you have circled today.

1506
01:16:00,120 --> 01:16:02,639
Speaker 4: Okay, I'm going with a prop from the Caves Pacers

1507
01:16:02,680 --> 01:16:06,720
Speaker 4: game today, Indiana's Andrew never at over seventeen and a

1508
01:16:06,760 --> 01:16:09,920
Speaker 4: half points and assist. I missed on this one last

1509
01:16:09,920 --> 01:16:12,519
Speaker 4: game because of less minutes due to a blowout, but

1510
01:16:12,600 --> 01:16:14,400
Speaker 4: I expect this game to stake them was a little

1511
01:16:14,400 --> 01:16:18,040
Speaker 4: bit closer. He's averaging seven point seven assists in the series,

1512
01:16:18,040 --> 01:16:20,599
Speaker 4: and the Cavs has some prople guarding it's free point

1513
01:16:20,680 --> 01:16:23,599
Speaker 4: line where he does most of his damage. Never art

1514
01:16:23,760 --> 01:16:31,000
Speaker 4: over seventeen and a half points and assists.

1515
01:16:28,960 --> 01:16:35,280
Speaker 3: The same game. As I mentioned earlier, Uh, Brian and

1516
01:16:35,280 --> 01:16:40,240
Speaker 3: I have this thing where we just Hollyburden drives us mad. Now.

1517
01:16:40,240 --> 01:16:42,880
Speaker 3: I know he made some game winning shots, but it's

1518
01:16:43,000 --> 01:16:46,120
Speaker 3: unacceptable in my mind to have a game in the

1519
01:16:46,160 --> 01:16:48,960
Speaker 3: postseason at home where you shoot two for eight, you're

1520
01:16:49,000 --> 01:16:53,120
Speaker 3: over one from three, you have no foul shots, no rebounds,

1521
01:16:53,640 --> 01:16:57,840
Speaker 3: five assists, four points, three turnovers. Like that's a that's

1522
01:16:57,840 --> 01:16:59,679
Speaker 3: a state line of the we agree the best player

1523
01:16:59,720 --> 01:17:02,040
Speaker 3: on their team, right, Brian, Like, that's the best player

1524
01:17:02,040 --> 01:17:04,920
Speaker 3: of the team. That's the stat line. So I got

1525
01:17:05,000 --> 01:17:06,800
Speaker 3: highly bring over thirty one and a half point three

1526
01:17:06,840 --> 01:17:08,680
Speaker 3: round says today, I think he bounces back in a

1527
01:17:08,680 --> 01:17:14,280
Speaker 3: big way. Jokich over points and rebounds. It was he

1528
01:17:14,280 --> 01:17:16,880
Speaker 3: had thirty six last game and what he called a

1529
01:17:17,000 --> 01:17:19,639
Speaker 3: bad game. It's forty one and a half right now.

1530
01:17:19,680 --> 01:17:21,280
Speaker 3: It was forty two and a half last game when

1531
01:17:21,280 --> 01:17:22,920
Speaker 3: I was on it as well. So maybe I'm going

1532
01:17:22,920 --> 01:17:24,479
Speaker 3: back to well here, I don't. I don't really terribly

1533
01:17:24,479 --> 01:17:27,000
Speaker 3: like it sometimes, but I think he gets he's oh,

1534
01:17:27,120 --> 01:17:30,240
Speaker 3: for ten from three over ten from three. He doesn't

1535
01:17:30,240 --> 01:17:31,880
Speaker 3: make a ton of threes, but he'll make two. I

1536
01:17:31,920 --> 01:17:34,000
Speaker 3: think that gets to my things. To that number, or

1537
01:17:34,040 --> 01:17:35,840
Speaker 3: for two half the last one, I like. I like

1538
01:17:35,880 --> 01:17:40,320
Speaker 3: two in hockey. By the way, bet MGM offers this

1539
01:17:40,360 --> 01:17:43,639
Speaker 3: one market that other ones do not offer. They offer

1540
01:17:44,600 --> 01:17:48,240
Speaker 3: teams to score empty net goals. Specific teams out at

1541
01:17:48,280 --> 01:17:50,559
Speaker 3: the Stars to score empty net goal today at home

1542
01:17:51,240 --> 01:17:54,320
Speaker 3: plus two hundred, I think they're gonna beat Winnipeg. Winnipeg

1543
01:17:54,360 --> 01:17:56,160
Speaker 3: allows a lot of goals except last game where they

1544
01:17:56,160 --> 01:17:58,880
Speaker 3: shut out the Stars. Lastly, I like the Starts to

1545
01:17:58,920 --> 01:18:01,200
Speaker 3: score the first goal today and the game a team's

1546
01:18:01,200 --> 01:18:03,639
Speaker 3: off a loss. I know Crack will like this trend

1547
01:18:03,720 --> 01:18:05,439
Speaker 3: or not. Teams off a loss in the postseason and

1548
01:18:05,479 --> 01:18:09,160
Speaker 3: hockey have scored a goal first and thirty of the

1549
01:18:09,200 --> 01:18:12,639
Speaker 3: forty five games, so thirty and fifteen minus won thirty

1550
01:18:12,640 --> 01:18:14,679
Speaker 3: five Today on the bet MGM, Matt for the Stars

1551
01:18:14,680 --> 01:18:16,640
Speaker 3: scored the first score home. I like that wager a

1552
01:18:16,640 --> 01:18:18,080
Speaker 3: lot more than the teams at home, by the way, than.

1553
01:18:18,080 --> 01:18:18,479
Speaker 1: On the road.

1554
01:18:19,720 --> 01:18:22,840
Speaker 2: That's pretty strong. Yeah, I'm gonna stick with a game

1555
01:18:22,880 --> 01:18:27,080
Speaker 2: that you guys have mentioned, the Pacers and Cavs. I'm

1556
01:18:27,080 --> 01:18:30,160
Speaker 2: gonna go with Aaron Nesmith over twelve and a half

1557
01:18:30,240 --> 01:18:33,719
Speaker 2: point go. I think it's a good zigzag spot. Yeah. Right,

1558
01:18:33,960 --> 01:18:37,160
Speaker 2: A couple of reasons for it good zigzag. So he

1559
01:18:37,240 --> 01:18:40,800
Speaker 2: had a disappointing game last game, he only had seven points,

1560
01:18:41,479 --> 01:18:44,120
Speaker 2: but he's been over his point total in six of

1561
01:18:44,160 --> 01:18:47,160
Speaker 2: the Pacers eight playoff games this year. That's pretty good

1562
01:18:47,439 --> 01:18:49,840
Speaker 2: over in six of eight, and so I think it's

1563
01:18:49,880 --> 01:18:52,280
Speaker 2: a bounce back spot. I like it. Also because these

1564
01:18:52,400 --> 01:18:55,719
Speaker 2: NBA players, man, they get real territorial about their playing time.

1565
01:18:56,200 --> 01:18:59,880
Speaker 2: And his minutes got cut into because Ben Mathern played

1566
01:18:59,880 --> 01:19:02,280
Speaker 2: for pretty well last game, and so some of Aaron

1567
01:19:02,360 --> 01:19:08,160
Speaker 2: Neismith's fourth quarter minutes got lessened because Carlisle went with Madarin.

1568
01:19:08,280 --> 01:19:10,680
Speaker 2: So I think that Nie Smith is gonna be aggressive.

1569
01:19:10,720 --> 01:19:13,479
Speaker 2: I think he's gonna be highly focused. He's gonna be

1570
01:19:13,600 --> 01:19:17,040
Speaker 2: very motivated. What was it Bob Knight said? The ultimate

1571
01:19:17,080 --> 01:19:19,640
Speaker 2: motivation is getting sat on the bench. Oh yeah, and

1572
01:19:19,640 --> 01:19:23,200
Speaker 2: it's something like ass says to brain, like we got

1573
01:19:23,200 --> 01:19:24,840
Speaker 2: to go out there and perform, so we're not here

1574
01:19:24,880 --> 01:19:26,960
Speaker 2: on the bench did a whole thing on it. So

1575
01:19:27,000 --> 01:19:31,120
Speaker 2: I like Aaron Neismith. The other reason is, again you

1576
01:19:31,200 --> 01:19:35,200
Speaker 2: look at what I call paint protection. If you look

1577
01:19:35,240 --> 01:19:39,240
Speaker 2: at Miles Turner with the pacers, he's providing no paint protection.

1578
01:19:39,360 --> 01:19:42,719
Speaker 2: The calves are finishing at will in the paint. That's

1579
01:19:42,760 --> 01:19:45,160
Speaker 2: not the case with the calves. The calves have good

1580
01:19:45,160 --> 01:19:49,080
Speaker 2: paint protection. And so Halliburton, he's gonna look to drive

1581
01:19:49,240 --> 01:19:52,400
Speaker 2: and kick. He's not gonna try to finish among Jared

1582
01:19:52,479 --> 01:19:55,400
Speaker 2: Allen and Evan Mobley. Those guys are race shots. They

1583
01:19:55,479 --> 01:19:57,920
Speaker 2: change shots. So I think there're gonna be some open

1584
01:19:57,960 --> 01:20:00,599
Speaker 2: looks for Aaron Neismith. I like over and a halfs

1585
01:20:00,640 --> 01:20:03,280
Speaker 2: one of them I'm gonna go with. I can't give

1586
01:20:03,280 --> 01:20:05,320
Speaker 2: you the other sixty two I have today just right

1587
01:20:05,360 --> 01:20:13,679
Speaker 2: now coming up next. Oh, good Sunday too you. Happy

1588
01:20:13,720 --> 01:20:16,160

1589
01:20:16,160 --> 01:20:19,400
Speaker 2: you enjoy the day fully. Which team has a better

01:20:19,479 --> 01:20:22,599

1599
01:20:46,720 --> 01:20:49,120
Speaker 2: got a pair of game fours today in the NBA.

1600
01:20:49,880 --> 01:20:54,840
Speaker 2: You've got OKC at Denver and you've got Cleveland at

1601
01:20:54,880 --> 01:20:59,920
Speaker 2: the Pacers. So similar point spreads for the home dogs.

1602
01:21:00,320 --> 01:21:03,880
Speaker 2: Denver is plus six and a half, India is plus

1603
01:21:03,960 --> 01:21:08,040
Speaker 2: five and a half. So let's start with the favorites. Jeff,

1604
01:21:08,120 --> 01:21:10,960
Speaker 2: which favorite do you think has a better chance of

1605
01:21:11,000 --> 01:21:13,679
Speaker 2: winning and covering today? Is it oka See minus six

1606
01:21:13,720 --> 01:21:15,840
Speaker 2: and a half or is it Cleveland minus five and

1607
01:21:15,840 --> 01:21:17,599
Speaker 2: a half? Both on the road.

1608
01:21:18,280 --> 01:21:20,240
Speaker 3: Cleveland. Everyone's healthy for Cleveland again.

1609
01:21:20,120 --> 01:21:24,439
Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, Darius Garland's a little bit affected with that

1610
01:21:24,520 --> 01:21:25,960
Speaker 2: toe you saw that last game.

1611
01:21:26,000 --> 01:21:31,320
Speaker 3: But I think, oh boy, it's a good question. I

1612
01:21:31,360 --> 01:21:33,240
Speaker 3: would probably if I have to pick a favorite today,

1613
01:21:33,520 --> 01:21:39,760
Speaker 3: I would probably lean toward the Calves winning as a

1614
01:21:39,760 --> 01:21:46,160
Speaker 3: favorite more than oka See. I think okay See can

1615
01:21:46,240 --> 01:21:48,639
Speaker 3: have a Game two type performance today, but that Yoki

1616
01:21:48,800 --> 01:21:50,519
Speaker 3: just gonna play out of his mind and the game

1617
01:21:50,560 --> 01:21:53,040
Speaker 3: will be closer because of that. But then again, Michael

1618
01:21:53,080 --> 01:21:56,400
Speaker 3: Porter Junior doesn't shoot as well. I mean, the game

1619
01:21:56,479 --> 01:21:59,160
Speaker 3: is not close as close. So but the Calves, when

1620
01:21:59,160 --> 01:22:01,639
Speaker 3: they're offensively looking as they were in Game three, they're

1621
01:22:01,680 --> 01:22:04,519
Speaker 3: just hard to really slow down. That game could be

1622
01:22:04,560 --> 01:22:07,880
Speaker 3: super high scoring right one twenty five, one point fifteen,

1623
01:22:07,960 --> 01:22:11,080
Speaker 3: you know, but the Calves wouldn't cover that game. So

1624
01:22:11,120 --> 01:22:13,920
Speaker 3: I think Calves probably. I don't have a wager yet

1625
01:22:13,920 --> 01:22:18,160
Speaker 3: on a on a complete game wager I have, okay,

1626
01:22:18,160 --> 01:22:22,240
Speaker 3: see first half, Pacers, first quarter, because I think at

1627
01:22:22,280 --> 01:22:25,880
Speaker 3: the end of these games, you know, they've been really

1628
01:22:25,920 --> 01:22:28,599
Speaker 3: difficult to predict as far as you know, big lead,

1629
01:22:28,680 --> 01:22:31,920
Speaker 3: shrinking down, you know, if the game is closed in Denver.

1630
01:22:31,960 --> 01:22:35,599
Speaker 3: I trust Denver more than I trust you know. Okay, See,

1631
01:22:35,640 --> 01:22:37,760
Speaker 3: So that's I lean probably Calves to. If I had

1632
01:22:37,760 --> 01:22:39,160
Speaker 3: to pick a favorite to wain to cover today.

1633
01:22:39,160 --> 01:22:42,200
Speaker 4: Crack yeah. I think both the Thunder and the Calves

1634
01:22:42,240 --> 01:22:44,599
Speaker 4: have a round the same chance of winning and covering today.

1635
01:22:44,720 --> 01:22:47,599
Speaker 4: Just look at the lines. Obviously, Thunder six, Calves five.

1636
01:22:48,840 --> 01:22:51,320
Speaker 4: Both of these teams number one season are just really

1637
01:22:51,360 --> 01:22:53,640
Speaker 4: need to win on the road. So I wouldn't be

1638
01:22:53,680 --> 01:22:56,880
Speaker 4: surprised if both won today and both of these series

1639
01:22:56,880 --> 01:23:01,280
Speaker 4: went to two and two. However, you know me with sides, Guys,

1640
01:23:01,320 --> 01:23:03,639
Speaker 4: when do I give out NBA sides? You know, it's

1641
01:23:03,640 --> 01:23:05,880
Speaker 4: just such a hard thing to be. Just like Jeff said,

1642
01:23:05,880 --> 01:23:08,640
Speaker 4: he goes right to the alternate first half line. As

1643
01:23:08,680 --> 01:23:10,439
Speaker 4: a matter of fact, when we came on. When we

1644
01:23:10,479 --> 01:23:12,960
Speaker 4: came on air today, it wasn't fair to give it

1645
01:23:12,960 --> 01:23:16,479
Speaker 4: out to the public. But only MGM had a minus

1646
01:23:16,600 --> 01:23:19,280
Speaker 4: three and a half. I think it was Okce first half,

1647
01:23:19,560 --> 01:23:22,519
Speaker 4: where most of the sportsbooks have minus four now up

1648
01:23:22,560 --> 01:23:25,400
Speaker 4: to four and a half. But I'll tell you why.

1649
01:23:25,479 --> 01:23:32,000
Speaker 4: You check the MGM lines compared to market. They definitely

1650
01:23:32,040 --> 01:23:35,360
Speaker 4: take some stances, and you know people want to say, oh,

1651
01:23:35,360 --> 01:23:38,880
Speaker 4: maybe they're slow to move. Well, maybe maybe they just

1652
01:23:38,960 --> 01:23:41,920
Speaker 4: wait to take a bet before they start moving things.

1653
01:23:41,920 --> 01:23:44,080
Speaker 4: But that was one of the areas where I've seen

1654
01:23:44,120 --> 01:23:46,720
Speaker 4: this morning. They also, like I said, I also seen

1655
01:23:46,720 --> 01:23:50,840
Speaker 4: the Washington in baseball first five they had a line

1656
01:23:50,880 --> 01:23:53,599
Speaker 4: that was out of market by fifteen cents at the time.

1657
01:23:53,720 --> 01:23:55,960
Speaker 4: So you want to check that over on bet MGM.

1658
01:23:56,040 --> 01:24:01,040
Speaker 4: But as far as today thunderclves both uh, Like I said,

1659
01:24:01,160 --> 01:24:03,080
Speaker 4: number one seeds, they really need wins on the roads,

1660
01:24:03,120 --> 01:24:05,280
Speaker 4: So I wouldn't be surprised if they both won, but

1661
01:24:05,320 --> 01:24:06,640
Speaker 4: I'm not betting them.

1662
01:24:07,400 --> 01:24:07,639
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1663
01:24:07,720 --> 01:24:10,040
Speaker 2: You know what I wouldn't be surprised about is sometimes

1664
01:24:10,040 --> 01:24:13,240
Speaker 2: the NBA is so weird where it really doesn't make sense.

1665
01:24:13,760 --> 01:24:18,599
Speaker 2: It doesn't make sense that the Nuggets won the last

1666
01:24:18,640 --> 01:24:22,200
Speaker 2: game in overtime when Jokic played as poorly as he did,

1667
01:24:22,520 --> 01:24:25,200
Speaker 2: Like he's their main guy, obviously he's best player on

1668
01:24:25,240 --> 01:24:27,400
Speaker 2: the planet, and yet they still I wouldn't be surprised

1669
01:24:27,439 --> 01:24:31,559
Speaker 2: if today Jokic plays way better and Okac not only

1670
01:24:31,600 --> 01:24:34,120
Speaker 2: wins but covers the spread. Like that's just that's the

1671
01:24:34,120 --> 01:24:36,280
Speaker 2: way it works sometimes in the NBA, where you're like,

1672
01:24:36,320 --> 01:24:39,639
Speaker 2: wait a minute, Jokic was zero for ten from three

1673
01:24:40,560 --> 01:24:43,479
Speaker 2: and the Nuggets still won in overtime, and then today

1674
01:24:43,520 --> 01:24:46,200
Speaker 2: we might be saying Jokic went off for thirty five

1675
01:24:47,160 --> 01:24:50,439
Speaker 2: and Okac still covered. They won by double digits. It's

1676
01:24:50,439 --> 01:24:53,479
Speaker 2: like I could absolutely see that working out. Partly for

1677
01:24:53,560 --> 01:24:58,800
Speaker 2: what you explained there, Gordon and MPJ went crazy last game.

1678
01:24:58,840 --> 01:25:01,479
Speaker 2: They both scored over twenty points. They were sensational. But

1679
01:25:02,280 --> 01:25:05,920
Speaker 2: those role players, you know, it's tit or miss if MPJ.

1680
01:25:06,320 --> 01:25:09,280
Speaker 2: If Michael Porter Junior isn't hitting his outside shot, there's

1681
01:25:09,320 --> 01:25:11,200
Speaker 2: not a whole lot of scoring going on right there.

1682
01:25:11,520 --> 01:25:14,000
Speaker 2: And he's not afraid. He shoots it at a high clip.

1683
01:25:14,080 --> 01:25:16,320
Speaker 2: But if he's just having an off night. Man, And

1684
01:25:16,360 --> 01:25:18,840
Speaker 2: I'll say this real fast, Jeff, you know we, you

1685
01:25:18,920 --> 01:25:22,080
Speaker 2: and I we always talk trash about the Celtics. One

1686
01:25:22,320 --> 01:25:26,080
Speaker 2: is they just have this bogged down isole ball that

1687
01:25:26,160 --> 01:25:28,040
Speaker 2: they rely on too much. But the other thing we

1688
01:25:28,160 --> 01:25:30,920
Speaker 2: rip on is just relying way too much on three

1689
01:25:30,920 --> 01:25:33,760
Speaker 2: point shots. Yes, like mix it up, go inside, and

1690
01:25:34,160 --> 01:25:36,080
Speaker 2: the first two games they couldn't buy a three and

1691
01:25:36,120 --> 01:25:39,080
Speaker 2: they're still just bombing away. If we're gonna rip on

1692
01:25:39,120 --> 01:25:41,240
Speaker 2: the Celtics, I think we got to look sideways at

1693
01:25:41,320 --> 01:25:45,080
Speaker 2: Jokic for Game three, like, you're Nicola Jokic and how

1694
01:25:45,120 --> 01:25:46,840
Speaker 2: are you zero for ten from three?

1695
01:25:47,040 --> 01:25:47,160
Speaker 3: Oh?

1696
01:25:47,360 --> 01:25:50,479
Speaker 2: If you're that cold, why are you shooting ten threes?

1697
01:25:50,680 --> 01:25:55,360
Speaker 2: Why go inside? I want to see he did, but

1698
01:25:55,479 --> 01:25:58,320
Speaker 2: they didn't. Like. I want to see him more, especially

1699
01:25:58,360 --> 01:26:03,320
Speaker 2: against home grin right, Yeah, I want to I want

1700
01:26:03,360 --> 01:26:06,640
Speaker 2: to see more that's right. I want to see You

1701
01:26:06,640 --> 01:26:09,080
Speaker 2: could call it beast mode, you could call it can't

1702
01:26:09,080 --> 01:26:11,760
Speaker 2: stop me mode. How about agro mode. I want to

1703
01:26:11,760 --> 01:26:13,800
Speaker 2: see him go agro. That's what I want to see

1704
01:26:13,800 --> 01:26:16,280
Speaker 2: from Yokic. I don't want to see him settling for

1705
01:26:16,360 --> 01:26:19,360
Speaker 2: three point shots. And he's normally way better than oh

1706
01:26:19,439 --> 01:26:22,400
Speaker 2: for ten obviously, but he was off. It's like, okay,

1707
01:26:23,360 --> 01:26:24,800
Speaker 2: down inside, I.

1708
01:26:24,720 --> 01:26:26,880
Speaker 3: Went to look up Dascort I sort of see like

1709
01:26:27,240 --> 01:26:29,200
Speaker 3: if that was an angle because like, you know, maybe

1710
01:26:29,200 --> 01:26:31,479
Speaker 3: taking Yokic over threes today, but it doesn't it doesn't

1711
01:26:31,520 --> 01:26:33,280
Speaker 3: make it doesn't taken make a lot of them. It's

1712
01:26:33,320 --> 01:26:37,439
Speaker 3: not like his primary role obviously, so right, you know, obviously,

1713
01:26:37,520 --> 01:26:39,719
Speaker 3: look they I think the dog I think your point

1714
01:26:39,760 --> 01:26:42,160
Speaker 3: is very is the way this game is ultimately going

1715
01:26:42,200 --> 01:26:45,120
Speaker 3: to go. Jokic is gonna have a triple double and

1716
01:26:45,120 --> 01:26:48,280
Speaker 3: they're gonna lose by double digits, right right, I mean

1717
01:26:48,320 --> 01:26:49,840
Speaker 3: I think you can. I think you're at the point

1718
01:26:49,840 --> 01:26:53,000
Speaker 3: where you can say this about you know, playing Denver.

1719
01:26:53,040 --> 01:26:55,400
Speaker 3: I think for today is like I think, okay, so

1720
01:26:55,479 --> 01:26:58,120
Speaker 3: he's fine with the idea of Michael Porter getting seventeen

1721
01:26:58,120 --> 01:27:00,519
Speaker 3: wherever he had, just don't let yoka, which you know,

1722
01:27:00,960 --> 01:27:03,120
Speaker 3: kill us by the yoga is just he was angry,

1723
01:27:03,160 --> 01:27:04,800
Speaker 3: he was upset about the way he played last game.

1724
01:27:04,800 --> 01:27:07,479
Speaker 3: He's gonna play better, but so will the Thunder. The

1725
01:27:07,479 --> 01:27:09,519
Speaker 3: Thunder will play, but they're the one seed for a reason.

1726
01:27:09,960 --> 01:27:12,760
Speaker 3: They flex that mighted game two. I think we see

1727
01:27:12,800 --> 01:27:14,880
Speaker 3: inflexa tadays. They have to. They don't have a choice, right,

1728
01:27:14,960 --> 01:27:17,280
Speaker 3: But in the otherwise they're going down, you know, three

1729
01:27:17,320 --> 01:27:18,400
Speaker 3: to one, which is insane.

1730
01:27:20,280 --> 01:27:22,360
Speaker 2: That's the other part of this to me too, is

1731
01:27:22,840 --> 01:27:25,320
Speaker 2: you hear this all the time, like the better team

1732
01:27:25,320 --> 01:27:28,760
Speaker 2: always wins a series, and that's not true. Most of

1733
01:27:28,800 --> 01:27:32,320
Speaker 2: the time the better team wins a series, but hey, listen, man,

1734
01:27:32,360 --> 01:27:35,120
Speaker 2: it happens. We see this weird comparison. We see this

1735
01:27:35,200 --> 01:27:37,439
Speaker 2: in the NFL all the time. A team with high

1736
01:27:37,479 --> 01:27:40,599
Speaker 2: expectations that's expected to win a ton of games. They

1737
01:27:40,600 --> 01:27:42,559
Speaker 2: get off to a bad start and they start pressing,

1738
01:27:42,680 --> 01:27:44,479
Speaker 2: and then it gets worse and worse. Same thing can

1739
01:27:44,520 --> 01:27:47,559
Speaker 2: happen in a series. The best team doesn't always win

1740
01:27:47,600 --> 01:27:50,360
Speaker 2: a series, but more times than not they do. The

1741
01:27:50,400 --> 01:27:54,440
Speaker 2: point I'm trying to make with okay see is sometimes

1742
01:27:54,520 --> 01:27:58,360
Speaker 2: you're only through three games of a series and you're like, whoa,

1743
01:27:58,560 --> 01:28:00,400
Speaker 2: you don't see the big picture. You're just in the

1744
01:28:00,439 --> 01:28:03,920
Speaker 2: here and now. I think the big picture with OKC, Yeah,

1745
01:28:03,960 --> 01:28:07,680
Speaker 2: they just lost in overtime. They scored two points in overtime.

1746
01:28:07,720 --> 01:28:11,120
Speaker 2: How does that happen? And so you're just thinking, Wow,

1747
01:28:11,760 --> 01:28:13,759
Speaker 2: look at Denver. Look at all they bring to the table.

1748
01:28:13,760 --> 01:28:18,920
Speaker 2: They've got Jokic, they've got altitude, their defense, their they're champions, right,

1749
01:28:19,000 --> 01:28:21,559
Speaker 2: like you see all these things. I think one thing

1750
01:28:21,600 --> 01:28:24,759
Speaker 2: that we forget is Okay, See, they have the best

1751
01:28:24,880 --> 01:28:29,040
Speaker 2: point differential in the history of the NBA, and all

1752
01:28:29,080 --> 01:28:32,040
Speaker 2: the teams on this list have won titles like one

1753
01:28:32,080 --> 01:28:35,040
Speaker 2: after another. And so when you're blowing teams out by

1754
01:28:35,080 --> 01:28:38,080
Speaker 2: an average of about thirteen points per night over eighty

1755
01:28:38,120 --> 01:28:42,280
Speaker 2: two games, that shows one how talented you are, how

1756
01:28:42,280 --> 01:28:45,200
Speaker 2: good your defense is, how good your depth is. All

1757
01:28:45,240 --> 01:28:48,200
Speaker 2: those things matter in the playoffs. So I think we

1758
01:28:48,240 --> 01:28:50,799
Speaker 2: can get stuck in, you know, like we're in after

1759
01:28:50,920 --> 01:28:53,559
Speaker 2: game three mode instead of looking at the series as

1760
01:28:53,640 --> 01:28:55,599
Speaker 2: a whole. Guys, And that's why I want to expect

1761
01:28:55,640 --> 01:28:57,080
Speaker 2: OKAC to rebound in a.

1762
01:28:57,120 --> 01:29:00,000
Speaker 4: Ton of money coming in on Okac. I mean, yeah,

1763
01:29:00,000 --> 01:29:02,479
Speaker 4: I'm looking at my live on screen and every sports

1764
01:29:02,479 --> 01:29:05,320
Speaker 4: book is lit up red, which means major line moves

1765
01:29:06,080 --> 01:29:07,560
Speaker 4: open up five and a half, up to six and

1766
01:29:07,560 --> 01:29:10,600
Speaker 4: a half seven seven, There it is.

1767
01:29:10,880 --> 01:29:11,400
Speaker 1: There we go.

1768
01:29:11,560 --> 01:29:14,000
Speaker 4: Well, we got some great guys here. They pick right

1769
01:29:14,080 --> 01:29:16,680
Speaker 4: up on that. But yeah, tons of sevens here in

1770
01:29:16,760 --> 01:29:22,040
Speaker 4: Vegas now too this personally, I think you guys kind

1771
01:29:22,080 --> 01:29:25,160
Speaker 4: of know. I hate. I would hate to jump on

1772
01:29:25,240 --> 01:29:29,240
Speaker 4: a bandwagon. Now, imagine you lay seven ninety minutes ago.

1773
01:29:29,240 --> 01:29:30,960
Speaker 4: You could have laid five and a half. Come on,

1774
01:29:31,400 --> 01:29:33,200
Speaker 4: there's only one way to do, and the only one

1775
01:29:33,200 --> 01:29:35,160
Speaker 4: way to go. Now, not that I'm doing it, but

1776
01:29:35,520 --> 01:29:39,519
Speaker 4: if I'm forced to the better side, it's Denver plus seven. Yes,

1777
01:29:40,840 --> 01:29:44,360
Speaker 4: but I'm not. And I'll tell you one thing. Here

1778
01:29:44,400 --> 01:29:47,200
Speaker 4: we are four hours out. You may get a even

1779
01:29:47,320 --> 01:29:51,759
Speaker 4: better line if you're gonna wait out for this Denver line.

1780
01:29:51,960 --> 01:29:54,479
Speaker 4: The big sports books that make the big moves, that

1781
01:29:54,520 --> 01:29:57,960
Speaker 4: control the market are all minus six and a half

1782
01:29:58,000 --> 01:30:01,880
Speaker 4: minus fifteen or higher. I said one, two, three, four, five,

1783
01:30:02,080 --> 01:30:05,920
Speaker 4: there's six sevens here in Vegas. Now that's a giant move.

1784
01:30:05,960 --> 01:30:09,760
Speaker 4: Everyone's bet in Oklahoma City. Uh, just enjoy the game

1785
01:30:09,800 --> 01:30:12,880
Speaker 4: and maybe not even have a side. That's impossible, right,

1786
01:30:13,040 --> 01:30:14,880
Speaker 4: How do you enjoy the game and not gamble. I

1787
01:30:14,880 --> 01:30:16,280
Speaker 4: get it, I get it, I get it.

1788
01:30:16,439 --> 01:30:16,960
Speaker 3: We don't have that.

1789
01:30:16,960 --> 01:30:17,439
Speaker 4: I don't.

1790
01:30:17,720 --> 01:30:19,800
Speaker 3: I don't always have a side in every game. But

1791
01:30:20,200 --> 01:30:21,960
Speaker 3: again I think that people are thinking of the way

1792
01:30:22,000 --> 01:30:24,400
Speaker 3: we are, Like you know, the point differential is interesting Brian,

1793
01:30:24,400 --> 01:30:29,200
Speaker 3: because I would, okay, see is on. No one's beating them.

1794
01:30:30,479 --> 01:30:33,240
Speaker 3: They just haven't been as good in game one, in

1795
01:30:33,280 --> 01:30:35,200
Speaker 3: game three when it mattered that Game two they were

1796
01:30:35,200 --> 01:30:37,120
Speaker 3: on and they won by forty. I mean that that

1797
01:30:37,120 --> 01:30:40,120
Speaker 3: can happen on any night road away and whole like that.

1798
01:30:40,200 --> 01:30:42,000
Speaker 3: That thing about this team is like you can do that.

1799
01:30:42,439 --> 01:30:44,880
Speaker 3: They could do it today if they wanted to. Question

1800
01:30:45,040 --> 01:30:46,160
Speaker 3: is are they going to?

1801
01:30:46,320 --> 01:30:49,760
Speaker 2: And and I love I love that you said that yeah,

1802
01:30:49,880 --> 01:30:53,679
Speaker 2: and then again you had go ahead, sorry, go ahead,

1803
01:30:53,720 --> 01:30:54,000
Speaker 2: go ahead?

1804
01:30:54,200 --> 01:30:56,799
Speaker 3: Well and also to like Check like I don't expect

1805
01:30:56,840 --> 01:30:59,720
Speaker 3: Check to play as well tonight. I just I think

1806
01:30:59,760 --> 01:31:02,400
Speaker 3: that Okay, he's gonna have some some concerns, but I

1807
01:31:02,439 --> 01:31:04,400
Speaker 3: think they do start fast enough. Anyways, I do think

1808
01:31:04,400 --> 01:31:05,479
Speaker 3: it might be a close game at the.

1809
01:31:05,439 --> 01:31:09,639
Speaker 2: End, though, could be. It's just crazy think how drunk

1810
01:31:09,720 --> 01:31:12,280
Speaker 2: this series has been so Game one you have a

1811
01:31:12,280 --> 01:31:15,120
Speaker 2: big upset win on the road by Denver and then

1812
01:31:15,680 --> 01:31:19,800
Speaker 2: okay See wins by forty three. Yeah, and then Game

1813
01:31:19,880 --> 01:31:22,479
Speaker 2: three you have a big upset win at home from

1814
01:31:22,520 --> 01:31:25,559
Speaker 2: Denver in overtime. But I you know, like it has

1815
01:31:25,560 --> 01:31:28,559
Speaker 2: the potential, like you just said, okay See has more

1816
01:31:28,600 --> 01:31:31,800
Speaker 2: than enough potential to not just win but win comfortably

1817
01:31:32,680 --> 01:31:35,240
Speaker 2: or they or they go back against the wall.

1818
01:31:35,600 --> 01:31:37,479
Speaker 3: That's the hard part about this, right, And.

1819
01:31:37,600 --> 01:31:39,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I know it.

1820
01:31:39,800 --> 01:31:40,000
Speaker 4: Right.

1821
01:31:40,120 --> 01:31:43,080
Speaker 2: It's uh, that's a great It's a great atmosphere in

1822
01:31:43,160 --> 01:31:45,880
Speaker 2: Denver too. I don't think they get enough credit for

1823
01:31:45,920 --> 01:31:48,960
Speaker 2: the atmosphere being the way it is. It's it's definitely

1824
01:31:49,000 --> 01:31:51,720
Speaker 2: a Broncos town. But they're in it. They're into it

1825
01:31:51,760 --> 01:31:53,680
Speaker 2: with the Nuggets and Yokitch and all that.

1826
01:31:53,680 --> 01:31:55,960
Speaker 3: They've had a lot of winning, right the as I

1827
01:31:55,960 --> 01:31:59,799
Speaker 3: have won recently. Right, Oh yeah, the Nuggets have won recently,

1828
01:32:00,120 --> 01:32:02,720
Speaker 3: so they're used to cheering those teams on. But I

1829
01:32:02,760 --> 01:32:04,720
Speaker 3: think I think, okay see, if I had to, if

1830
01:32:04,720 --> 01:32:06,280
Speaker 3: you have to ask me, what's wager, I think I

1831
01:32:06,280 --> 01:32:07,639
Speaker 3: think they wouldn't cover the game.

1832
01:32:08,240 --> 01:32:11,800
Speaker 4: I like your first half play, I like your see

1833
01:32:11,840 --> 01:32:13,320
Speaker 4: first half. Now, like I said, when we went when

1834
01:32:13,320 --> 01:32:16,640
Speaker 4: we went out, there was minus three and a half

1835
01:32:16,240 --> 01:32:16,960
Speaker 4: and now.

1836
01:32:17,160 --> 01:32:18,960
Speaker 3: Fur a half now, But I think that's the way

1837
01:32:18,960 --> 01:32:20,479
Speaker 3: I'm gonna play this one and just sort of sit

1838
01:32:20,680 --> 01:32:22,400
Speaker 3: on the side and see what happens. I think if

1839
01:32:22,439 --> 01:32:24,200
Speaker 3: it's a close game in the fourth quarter, I might

1840
01:32:24,200 --> 01:32:26,920
Speaker 3: come back with some Denver take some Denver money. I

1841
01:32:26,960 --> 01:32:29,320
Speaker 3: trust them to close out game a little bit better.

1842
01:32:30,000 --> 01:32:35,240
Speaker 3: One other angle to play by the way I Brian knows.

1843
01:32:35,240 --> 01:32:37,759
Speaker 3: I've done this a couple of times, and uh depends

1844
01:32:37,760 --> 01:32:39,639
Speaker 3: on the first quarter score, to be honest with you,

1845
01:32:39,680 --> 01:32:44,280
Speaker 3: but taking the Nuggets opponent to score the first ten

1846
01:32:44,320 --> 01:32:46,160
Speaker 3: points of the second quarter when Yokich is out of

1847
01:32:46,160 --> 01:32:49,720
Speaker 3: the game is a good wager. It's not offered everywhere,

1848
01:32:50,000 --> 01:32:54,240
Speaker 3: so I don't know if if BENAMGM even offers it,

1849
01:32:54,560 --> 01:32:56,040
Speaker 3: so you might have to shop that around a little bit.

1850
01:32:56,040 --> 01:32:59,040
Speaker 3: On this one. You can sometimes do it pre flop

1851
01:32:59,160 --> 01:33:01,679
Speaker 3: like you do it before, or essentially like now, which

1852
01:33:01,720 --> 01:33:03,200
Speaker 3: makes it a little more difficult. You don't know how

1853
01:33:03,200 --> 01:33:06,280
Speaker 3: the game is going. But if it's a close game

1854
01:33:06,680 --> 01:33:09,679
Speaker 3: through through one quarter, guys, you could sit the first

1855
01:33:09,680 --> 01:33:11,880
Speaker 3: three to six minutes to the second quarter and it's

1856
01:33:11,920 --> 01:33:14,640
Speaker 3: basically is Russell Westbrook gonna score ten points, like you know,

1857
01:33:14,720 --> 01:33:19,000
Speaker 3: like I kind of like my chances, so so you

1858
01:33:19,040 --> 01:33:22,679
Speaker 3: can go try. It's hard to find this at times.

1859
01:33:23,840 --> 01:33:25,640
Speaker 3: You sometimes they have to get it, like in the

1860
01:33:25,640 --> 01:33:28,320
Speaker 3: first when the quarters over essentially and first quarters over

1861
01:33:28,600 --> 01:33:31,439
Speaker 3: somewhere around there. But it's not it's not a bad

1862
01:33:31,479 --> 01:33:34,200
Speaker 3: thought in a game. Now, if Okay sees up by

1863
01:33:34,240 --> 01:33:38,200
Speaker 3: thirteen in the first quarter, I like it less of course, Brian,

1864
01:33:38,240 --> 01:33:42,760
Speaker 3: But it's been a fairly profitable wager to look at.

1865
01:33:42,880 --> 01:33:45,800
Speaker 3: To look at the first ten points of the second

1866
01:33:45,880 --> 01:33:50,200
Speaker 3: quarter and uh race to ten points in right now, Okay,

1867
01:33:50,200 --> 01:33:52,120
Speaker 3: it's minus one to forty two for Okac where I

1868
01:33:52,120 --> 01:33:54,160
Speaker 3: see it, which is a little hefty. So again, just

1869
01:33:54,439 --> 01:33:56,040
Speaker 3: you know, you wait to say the first quarter goes,

1870
01:33:56,080 --> 01:33:57,599
Speaker 3: you might get a better number if you like it.

1871
01:33:58,240 --> 01:34:00,360
Speaker 2: I don't mind that though, I mean, little bit of

1872
01:34:00,439 --> 01:34:03,880
Speaker 2: juice right there. But it's a different basketball team with

1873
01:34:04,000 --> 01:34:05,080
Speaker 2: Jokic off the floor.

1874
01:34:05,160 --> 01:34:07,080
Speaker 3: Yes, it's just his it's.

1875
01:34:07,120 --> 01:34:10,080
Speaker 2: Night and day. And I'll throw this on your radar too,

1876
01:34:10,160 --> 01:34:13,160
Speaker 2: because we're talking about Jokic and this is a good

1877
01:34:13,240 --> 01:34:16,479
Speaker 2: zigzag zigzag opportunity. Had a rough Game three, he could

1878
01:34:16,560 --> 01:34:20,600
Speaker 2: absolutely respond in Game four. How about Sga SGA is

1879
01:34:20,640 --> 01:34:24,280
Speaker 2: going to win MVP game one thirty three points, Game

1880
01:34:24,280 --> 01:34:29,160
Speaker 2: two thirty four points, last game disappointing eighteen points, so

1881
01:34:29,520 --> 01:34:32,360
Speaker 2: could be a zigzag spot for him as well, where

1882
01:34:32,960 --> 01:34:35,400
Speaker 2: both MVP candidates on the same floor together.

1883
01:34:35,840 --> 01:34:41,120
Speaker 4: Parlay right, crack, yeah, you know I'm on that's right. Yeah,

1884
01:34:41,160 --> 01:34:47,200
Speaker 4: almost had a loss forwards. I'm GMP and I'm looking

1885
01:34:47,240 --> 01:34:50,680
Speaker 4: at so Jeff, I'll tell you. I just I'm just

1886
01:34:50,840 --> 01:34:52,880
Speaker 4: look at look at look at our camera. Look look

1887
01:34:52,920 --> 01:34:57,000
Speaker 4: at the amount of props on this game today. So

1888
01:34:57,560 --> 01:34:59,840
Speaker 4: now you once you click one of the drop down men,

1889
01:34:59,880 --> 01:35:03,160
Speaker 4: you there's a plus throw of choices in there. So

1890
01:35:03,520 --> 01:35:05,760
Speaker 4: I'm looking here. Race two. I just wanted to see.

1891
01:35:06,000 --> 01:35:06,360
Speaker 3: Is that there?

1892
01:35:06,880 --> 01:35:09,080
Speaker 4: They had race to five, race to ten, race to fifteen,

1893
01:35:09,160 --> 01:35:13,920
Speaker 4: race at twenty. But now you're saying second quarter races.

1894
01:35:14,120 --> 01:35:17,760
Speaker 3: Yes you can. There's yeah, so not ever again, like

1895
01:35:17,760 --> 01:35:19,960
Speaker 3: like I said, like Ben MGM has wagers, like I said,

1896
01:35:20,000 --> 01:35:24,080
Speaker 3: like empty net goal for specific team. It's it's been

1897
01:35:24,120 --> 01:35:26,560
Speaker 3: a great wager in the postseason hockey, like you you

1898
01:35:27,040 --> 01:35:29,080
Speaker 3: can even go the thing about it. A lot of

1899
01:35:29,080 --> 01:35:30,720
Speaker 3: these hockey games, by the way, until until the last

1900
01:35:30,760 --> 01:35:34,200
Speaker 3: couple of days, have been two goals or more the winner.

1901
01:35:34,280 --> 01:35:36,639
Speaker 3: The winner wins by two goals or more. Typically it's

1902
01:35:36,680 --> 01:35:39,320
Speaker 3: empty net goal. At some point, you can bet both sides,

1903
01:35:39,560 --> 01:35:41,760
Speaker 3: like one is plus two hundred, one's plus four hundred,

1904
01:35:41,800 --> 01:35:44,759
Speaker 3: one plus three seventy one, one's plus plus three fifty.

1905
01:35:44,880 --> 01:35:45,719
Speaker 3: It's been good, crack.

1906
01:35:46,360 --> 01:35:49,559
Speaker 4: No, So, but why do you come in to Vegas?

1907
01:35:49,560 --> 01:35:50,760
Speaker 4: I need to know when you're coming to veg.

1908
01:35:50,680 --> 01:35:51,400
Speaker 2: You're coming to one.

1909
01:35:52,080 --> 01:35:55,559
Speaker 3: No, my wife's coming on Friday. But aren't you then

1910
01:35:56,000 --> 01:35:59,439

Speaker 3: big deal. They're downstairs now. I mean, it's amazing.

1932
01:36:54,160 --> 01:36:57,519

01:36:57,920 --> 01:37:00,400
Speaker 4: and they you know, she leaves me in charge of

1934
01:37:00,439 --> 01:37:03,160

Speaker 3: I haven't been that spirit is it nice?

1970
01:38:40,600 --> 01:38:44,400
Speaker 4: It's unbelievable. I went there for the Eagles. It was unbelievable.

1971
01:38:44,600 --> 01:38:46,840
Speaker 4: It's it's oh. I went there the first time. I

1972
01:38:46,840 --> 01:38:49,000
Speaker 4: went for a Grateful Dead show, which I don't really know.

1973
01:38:49,040 --> 01:38:51,559
Speaker 4: Grateful Dead it's too It's just not my kind of music,

1974
01:38:51,600 --> 01:38:53,640
Speaker 4: but I went. I went because my buddy wanted to go,

1975
01:38:54,080 --> 01:38:57,160
Speaker 4: and that was cool. But the Eagles, I mean, that

1976
01:38:57,400 --> 01:38:59,680
Speaker 4: was just so cool. And you know what's gonna be.

1977
01:39:00,000 --> 01:39:01,360
Speaker 4: I wonder if it's going to be here when you're here.

1978
01:39:01,360 --> 01:39:03,600
Speaker 4: I don't think so. In July, but we're having the

1979
01:39:03,640 --> 01:39:05,599
Speaker 4: Wizard of Oz. It sounds like no big deal, right,

1980
01:39:05,920 --> 01:39:08,880
Speaker 4: Wizard of Oz and the Wizard of Oz is being

1981

1991
01:39:36,600 --> 01:39:38,519

2009
01:40:28,400 --> 01:40:31,200
Speaker 2: got us thinking, which change would you love to see

2010
01:40:31,240 --> 01:40:34,639
Speaker 2: most in the NFL going forward. It's Fox Sports Radio's

Speaker 2: iHeartRadio app and it'll always pop up at the top

2021
01:41:05,840 --> 01:41:08,439
Speaker 2: of your screen. All right, So, I saw an NFL

2022
01:41:08,920 --> 01:41:13,639
Speaker 2: nugget where my Dolphins. They have signed their first round

2023
01:41:13,640 --> 01:41:17,880
Speaker 2: pick already. Kenneth Grant, thirteenth overall pick, signed his deal.

2024
01:41:17,920 --> 01:41:20,360
Speaker 2: It's a four year rookie contract worth close to twenty

2025
01:41:20,360 --> 01:41:23,360
Speaker 2: two million dollars, and I just stopped and I thought

2026
01:41:23,400 --> 01:41:27,519
Speaker 2: about that. And you guys remember years ago where this

2027
01:41:27,680 --> 01:41:30,479
Speaker 2: was not a common thing. You commonly would see first

2028
01:41:30,560 --> 01:41:34,880
Speaker 2: round picks be unsigned well into training camp, sometimes into

2029
01:41:34,920 --> 01:41:38,920
Speaker 2: the season, while the rookies are trying to get top dollar,

2030
01:41:39,640 --> 01:41:42,439
Speaker 2: and they just dragged on and on and on. I

2031
01:41:42,479 --> 01:41:44,920
Speaker 2: love the rookie wage scale. I think it's been great

2032
01:41:44,960 --> 01:41:47,080
Speaker 2: for the NFL. You could argue it's not great for

2033
01:41:47,120 --> 01:41:49,479
Speaker 2: the rookies they're not getting top dollar, but I think

2034
01:41:49,479 --> 01:41:52,639
Speaker 2: it's a much fairer system. You're not having like former

2035
01:41:52,720 --> 01:41:57,040
Speaker 2: Raiders quarterback JaMarcus Russell making fifty million dollars or whatever

2036
01:41:57,080 --> 01:42:00,000
Speaker 2: before he's done anything in the NFL. If you produce

2037
01:42:00,040 --> 01:42:02,280
Speaker 2: use in the NFL, then you get the big money.

2038
01:42:02,280 --> 01:42:04,479
Speaker 2: That's the way the NBA does it. I think it's

2039
01:42:04,479 --> 01:42:07,679
Speaker 2: been a great change for the NFL, and I think

2040
01:42:07,680 --> 01:42:10,479
Speaker 2: it's great like the pr think about the off season

2041
01:42:10,520 --> 01:42:13,760
Speaker 2: the way it was, it was contract stalemates and all

2042
01:42:13,800 --> 01:42:16,880
Speaker 2: these these greedy players are trying to get top dollar

2043
01:42:17,000 --> 01:42:19,240
Speaker 2: and like fans just want to be excited about the

2044
01:42:19,320 --> 01:42:21,600
Speaker 2: upcoming season, and some rookies that are hopefully going to

2045
01:42:21,640 --> 01:42:24,280
Speaker 2: help their team, right, and so it cuts all through

2046
01:42:24,320 --> 01:42:26,400
Speaker 2: that almost eliminates all these holdouts.

2047
01:42:26,600 --> 01:42:29,000
Speaker 3: So what's funny is it makes it like Shamar Stewart

2048
01:42:29,160 --> 01:42:31,680
Speaker 3: is sitting out right now for the Bengals and the

2049
01:42:31,800 --> 01:42:33,720
Speaker 3: rookie minni campus doesn't sign his deal yet. Like that's

2050
01:42:33,760 --> 01:42:35,360
Speaker 3: so people are like, oh my god, Like that's what

2051
01:42:35,479 --> 01:42:35,960
Speaker 3: it used to be.

2052
01:42:36,000 --> 01:42:38,759
Speaker 2: That way, it's what it used to be, so still coming.

2053
01:42:38,840 --> 01:42:41,719
Speaker 3: Yeah, the rookie wage scale basically is you obviously fixed.

2054
01:42:41,800 --> 01:42:44,320
Speaker 3: You know, it's fixed the the the contracts for the

2055
01:42:44,400 --> 01:42:47,519
Speaker 3: rookies and that includes your guaranteed salary and the structure

2056
01:42:47,520 --> 01:42:50,400
Speaker 3: of the contract. And basically all you're doing now is

2057
01:42:50,479 --> 01:42:56,400
Speaker 3: having over like I mean, bonus. It's very minuscule things

2058
01:42:56,400 --> 01:42:57,840
Speaker 3: that matter in the end. You know, second round picks

2059
01:42:57,840 --> 01:43:00,680
Speaker 3: are finding over guaranteed money on and whatnot. Sometimes you're

2060
01:43:00,720 --> 01:43:03,280
Speaker 3: you're fighting over splits from you get hurt, you.

2061
01:43:03,240 --> 01:43:05,320
Speaker 2: Know in the offset language.

2062
01:43:05,360 --> 01:43:08,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, you're not arguing over over much right now.

2063
01:43:08,400 --> 01:43:13,400
Speaker 3: So it does allow for players to sign it earlier

2064
01:43:13,400 --> 01:43:14,800
Speaker 3: and get in the building and get going. I mean,

2065
01:43:14,840 --> 01:43:16,760
Speaker 3: I remember, I'm a stufur pick. I didn't sign till

2066
01:43:16,800 --> 01:43:19,479
Speaker 3: day before training camp. Like that's like, you're funny, I

2067
01:43:19,520 --> 01:43:21,760
Speaker 3: remember my agent, So funny. My agent called me. I

2068
01:43:21,800 --> 01:43:24,880
Speaker 3: loved I love my agent and he said he said,

2069
01:43:24,960 --> 01:43:27,360
Speaker 3: he said, dude, I got you, uh got you two more?

2070
01:43:28,400 --> 01:43:30,120
Speaker 3: I said maybe four more. So I was like, I

2071
01:43:30,160 --> 01:43:31,800
Speaker 3: was like four goill me four grand more am my

2072
01:43:31,840 --> 01:43:33,760
Speaker 3: signing body. I got four hundred dollars more than the

2073
01:43:33,840 --> 01:43:36,600
Speaker 3: last players, like, because it was always off of like

2074
01:43:36,640 --> 01:43:39,320
Speaker 3: what you the last player in your slot got, and

2075
01:43:39,320 --> 01:43:41,760
Speaker 3: you just increased because they're offering you this. I got

2076
01:43:41,840 --> 01:43:44,800
Speaker 3: you this and most men I ever seen in my life.

2077
01:43:44,800 --> 01:43:48,160
Speaker 3: My signing bonus was forty one six, so I got like,

2078
01:43:48,200 --> 01:43:50,200
Speaker 3: I think I got a check for twenty four thousand dollars,

2079
01:43:51,080 --> 01:43:52,680
Speaker 3: which was like you know it was it was like

2080
01:43:52,880 --> 01:43:56,680
Speaker 3: in awe. Yeah, it was crazy. And that was a

2081
01:43:56,720 --> 01:43:58,559
Speaker 3: seventh round pick. I mean, now these guys are getting

2082
01:43:58,600 --> 01:43:59,960
Speaker 3: you know, when we talk about it, you just mentioned it,

2083
01:44:00,200 --> 01:44:02,120
Speaker 3: the money they're getting. Now at seventh round pick, you're

2084
01:44:02,120 --> 01:44:05,679
Speaker 3: getting I think two three hundred signing bonus. Someone around

2085
01:44:05,720 --> 01:44:08,599
Speaker 3: there a lot more money now obviously. So yes, it's

2086
01:44:08,600 --> 01:44:11,560
Speaker 3: great to see these players in in in there in

2087
01:44:11,600 --> 01:44:17,559
Speaker 3: their buildings. I am a sucker, guys for a slow

2088
01:44:17,640 --> 01:44:22,120
Speaker 3: motion video of your rookie quarterback throwing the ball to

2089
01:44:22,160 --> 01:44:26,280
Speaker 3: a rookie wide receiver with no one around. I am

2090
01:44:26,320 --> 01:44:29,000
Speaker 3: a sucker. You inject those into my veins. I want

2091
01:44:29,000 --> 01:44:31,960
Speaker 3: to see you rookie quarterback throwing a semi spiral. They're

2092
01:44:31,960 --> 01:44:34,920
Speaker 3: never perfect spirals either. They're like a little wobbly. I

2093
01:44:35,040 --> 01:44:39,120
Speaker 3: want that. Yesterday throwing the balls to comes to fancy.

2094
01:44:39,120 --> 01:44:41,719
Speaker 3: It wasn't even, it wasn't accurate. Don't care, do not care.

2095
01:44:42,280 --> 01:44:44,960
Speaker 3: Dylan Gabriel was doing like a footward drill. We've been

2096
01:44:44,960 --> 01:44:47,600
Speaker 3: suck through a ball like five yards. Sign me up

2097
01:44:47,640 --> 01:44:49,439
Speaker 3: for a crack. I'm all in. I saw one of

2098
01:44:49,479 --> 01:44:53,320
Speaker 3: the mill roll last weekend as well. I am I'm

2099
01:44:53,400 --> 01:44:53,680

Speaker 4: All these well, I tell you we we talk about NFL.

2101
01:44:57,880 --> 01:45:00,840
Speaker 4: I know it's really still the first I'll say you

2102
01:45:00,840 --> 01:45:05,080
Speaker 4: the first month of baseball, but we are just so enamored.

2103
01:45:05,200 --> 01:45:07,080
Speaker 4: When Brian and I were at the hot Dog event

2104
01:45:07,160 --> 01:45:09,680
Speaker 4: on Monday, we would do We brought it up in

2105
01:45:09,680 --> 01:45:12,880
Speaker 4: front of some people. Man, everyone is just dying for

2106
01:45:13,040 --> 01:45:15,479
Speaker 4: NFL season to come back. And you know it's funny.

2107
01:45:15,520 --> 01:45:19,680
Speaker 4: Before before I did, before I join you guys on

2108
01:45:19,680 --> 01:45:24,800
Speaker 4: this show, I wasn't so much into NFL betting, but

2109
01:45:24,880 --> 01:45:28,920
Speaker 4: then when PAPSO was repealed and New Jersey came on

2110
01:45:29,040 --> 01:45:32,120
Speaker 4: as a second state for sports betting, and then the

2111
01:45:32,160 --> 01:45:34,840
Speaker 4: prop market, which there was a prop market before but

2112
01:45:35,400 --> 01:45:38,639
Speaker 4: not like there is now. By the NFL is the

2113
01:45:38,680 --> 01:45:42,160
Speaker 4: only place I want to be for NFL props. That's

2114
01:45:42,280 --> 01:45:45,200
Speaker 4: just such a fun thing at the beginning of the week.

2115
01:45:45,360 --> 01:45:47,280
Speaker 4: I now, I don't know this. I'm not on your guys,

2116
01:45:47,600 --> 01:45:51,240
Speaker 4: and maybe I'm overvaluing myself. Isn't it fun to get

2117
01:45:51,240 --> 01:45:53,479
Speaker 4: a text at eight am in the morning on Monday

2118
01:45:54,040 --> 01:45:57,800
Speaker 4: to go on something and stuff starts moving. I missed that.

2119
01:45:57,920 --> 01:46:01,960
Speaker 3: I missed that I am already budgeting out how much

2120
01:46:02,120 --> 01:46:04,080
Speaker 3: more money I'm putting in my account for the preseason.

2121
01:46:04,360 --> 01:46:07,559
Speaker 3: And I'm like, I'm thinking of my head, like, okay,

2122
01:46:07,560 --> 01:46:10,320
Speaker 3: I get I'm working this much between now and August.

2123
01:46:10,880 --> 01:46:12,400
Speaker 3: How much can I take out of the account that

2124
01:46:12,439 --> 01:46:15,919
Speaker 3: my wife doesn't notice it cloes into my my preseason

2125
01:46:16,000 --> 01:46:18,920
Speaker 3: wagering and budget for practice and over those like you know,

2126
01:46:19,080 --> 01:46:21,120
Speaker 3: I don't even know who who who the Raiders are playing?

2127
01:46:21,160 --> 01:46:24,519
Speaker 3: Do not care? You sent it over to us? Yeah?

2128
01:46:24,560 --> 01:46:26,320
Speaker 4: I mean, look, it's worked just to buy some back.

2129
01:46:26,400 --> 01:46:29,519
Speaker 3: Of course, the thing about the NFL wagering though the

2130
01:46:29,920 --> 01:46:34,679
Speaker 3: Monday morning stuff is that, like there closing line value

2131
01:46:35,280 --> 01:46:37,080
Speaker 3: and I'm probably sure I'm gonna be wrong about this

2132
01:46:37,080 --> 01:46:38,679
Speaker 3: and people are gonna yell at me, and my mentions

2133
01:46:38,680 --> 01:46:41,400
Speaker 3: are sins that it's mean tweets. I feel like it

2134
01:46:41,479 --> 01:46:45,120
Speaker 3: obviously matters. Okay, we know that in other sports, like Yeah,

2135
01:46:45,200 --> 01:46:47,840
Speaker 3: yet yesterday there was an alert you sent out crack

2136
01:46:47,920 --> 01:46:50,920
Speaker 3: for a picture and by the time I got to it,

2137
01:46:50,920 --> 01:46:53,280
Speaker 3: it was one strikeout more than you sent out. I

2138
01:46:53,320 --> 01:46:57,000
Speaker 3: didn't wager. And what's funny is you you won the wager. Uh,

2139
01:46:57,200 --> 01:46:59,439
Speaker 3: the alt line didn't win. It was like it was

2140
01:46:59,479 --> 01:47:01,240
Speaker 3: a middle right it was four and a half you

2141
01:47:01,240 --> 01:47:03,320
Speaker 3: gave out ended up at five, but I can only

2142
01:47:03,360 --> 01:47:05,400
Speaker 3: find five and a half. Didn't wager on it. I

2143
01:47:05,400 --> 01:47:06,960
Speaker 3: don't think I don't think it matters as much other

2144
01:47:07,000 --> 01:47:10,400
Speaker 3: sports to be like overall throughout the whole thing, right like,

2145
01:47:10,560 --> 01:47:13,519
Speaker 3: But in football, man, like you get that that three

2146
01:47:13,520 --> 01:47:15,800
Speaker 3: and a half instead in that three you feel like

2147
01:47:16,200 --> 01:47:18,400
Speaker 3: I got a chance this week, Like you feel like

2148
01:47:18,479 --> 01:47:21,240
Speaker 3: even going into the week, you feel so much better.

2149
01:47:21,400 --> 01:47:23,680
Speaker 3: You you give out that that Namhart prop earlier, the

2150
01:47:23,720 --> 01:47:26,479
Speaker 3: over seventeen and a half, right, that's eighteen and a half.

2151
01:47:27,360 --> 01:47:29,360
Speaker 3: I mean it's not great, but I'll probably still wager

2152
01:47:29,439 --> 01:47:29,720
Speaker 3: on it.

2153
01:47:30,360 --> 01:47:34,439
Speaker 2: But yesterday three you Yeah, but if you yesterday think

2154
01:47:34,479 --> 01:47:37,840
Speaker 2: about Tatum, right, you were off of Tatum because his

2155
01:47:38,320 --> 01:47:41,120
Speaker 2: rebounds and assists. Yeah, when it was up to sixteen

2156
01:47:41,160 --> 01:47:43,760
Speaker 2: and a half, it's normally around fourteen and a half. Yeah, yeah,

2157
01:47:43,800 --> 01:47:46,840
Speaker 2: and then he ended on sixteen you got Yeah, so I.

2158
01:47:46,760 --> 01:47:49,479
Speaker 3: Didn't do it. So but like football, man, if that

2159
01:47:49,560 --> 01:47:52,519
Speaker 3: Monday morning, if I if it moves, like if I'm

2160
01:47:52,520 --> 01:47:54,920
Speaker 3: getting that extra half point or point, I feel like

2161
01:47:54,960 --> 01:47:57,800
Speaker 3: I'm I'm as we get to Sunday, I feel like

2162
01:47:57,840 --> 01:48:00,080
Speaker 3: I'm on top already. I might even win the well

2163
01:48:00,080 --> 01:48:01,519
Speaker 3: the way it doesn't feel the way other sport. That's

2164
01:48:01,520 --> 01:48:03,640
Speaker 3: why the football, I think, is so keen when it

2165
01:48:03,640 --> 01:48:05,759
Speaker 3: comes to, you know, getting the best of the number.

2166
01:48:06,439 --> 01:48:09,040
Speaker 2: Well, let's do this real fast, because I want to

2167
01:48:09,080 --> 01:48:11,759
Speaker 2: get what you guys think. Going back to the rookie

2168
01:48:11,800 --> 01:48:14,559
Speaker 2: wage scale, right, I think that's a great change for

2169
01:48:14,560 --> 01:48:17,600
Speaker 2: the NFL. You have slotted money basically, oh you're the

2170
01:48:17,600 --> 01:48:19,680
Speaker 2: fifth overall pick X amount of money. Oh you're the

2171
01:48:19,720 --> 01:48:21,960
Speaker 2: twentieth overall pick X amount of money. And it just

2172
01:48:22,200 --> 01:48:25,320
Speaker 2: reduces all these holdouts. It's great for the NFL. So

2173
01:48:25,360 --> 01:48:28,639
Speaker 2: that was a great change in twenty eleven. What change

2174
01:48:28,680 --> 01:48:31,360
Speaker 2: would you most like to see now? Is there anything

2175
01:48:31,360 --> 01:48:32,280
Speaker 2: on your list? Jeff?

2176
01:48:35,640 --> 01:48:37,760
Speaker 3: I mean sud death overtime going back to it be

2177
01:48:37,800 --> 01:48:40,080
Speaker 3: fine with me. I feel like can I'd be okay

2178
01:48:40,080 --> 01:48:46,479
Speaker 3: with that in the regular season. Yeah, I'm I don't

2179
01:48:46,479 --> 01:48:48,240
Speaker 3: want them ban in the Toush pusher, so that means

2180
01:48:48,280 --> 01:48:50,400
Speaker 3: like we're going back. I don't feel like anything is

2181
01:48:50,400 --> 01:48:52,680
Speaker 3: out is outrageous right now with the way that league is.

2182
01:48:52,720 --> 01:48:55,200
Speaker 3: I think that one change I think that they have made.

2183
01:48:55,240 --> 01:48:57,440
Speaker 3: It's been so long as we talk to NFL consistently.

2184
01:48:58,200 --> 01:49:01,000
Speaker 3: I like the Sky Sky judge is getting involved now

2185
01:49:01,160 --> 01:49:04,200
Speaker 3: and basically yes or no? Was it a face mask?

2186
01:49:04,280 --> 01:49:07,479
Speaker 3: Was it not? Was it right? Didn't get in the head?

2187
01:49:07,479 --> 01:49:09,360
Speaker 3: Did he not? I feel like those are very important

2188
01:49:09,439 --> 01:49:13,000
Speaker 3: change the NFL. There's a really good job. You might

2189
01:49:13,040 --> 01:49:16,479
Speaker 3: not like the owners and the commissioner, but like they

2190
01:49:16,560 --> 01:49:19,960
Speaker 3: do such a good job of fixing issues quickly and

2191
01:49:20,120 --> 01:49:22,639
Speaker 3: being adaptable. I think COVID really helped with it. Before

2192
01:49:22,680 --> 01:49:25,599
Speaker 3: COVID they were less adaptable. I think now they see

2193
01:49:25,600 --> 01:49:27,560
Speaker 3: a problem and they fix it right away. So I

2194
01:49:27,680 --> 01:49:30,320
Speaker 3: was like, the change they've made so far this year, you.

2195
01:49:30,280 --> 01:49:32,320
Speaker 2: Know what crack you and I will weigh in real

2196
01:49:32,400 --> 01:49:34,640
Speaker 2: fast on the change we'd most like to see. But

2197
01:49:34,680 --> 01:49:37,639
Speaker 2: first let's let's work I Loo into this conversation, because

2198
01:49:38,000 --> 01:49:40,120
Speaker 2: that's a change we would never like to see. Is

2199
01:49:40,200 --> 01:49:43,200
Speaker 2: I love going away? We're like, no, I can't believe

2200
01:49:43,200 --> 01:49:45,840
Speaker 2: I said that out loud. It's terrible plead in the atmosphere.

2201
01:49:46,040 --> 01:49:47,559
Speaker 2: I love what is going on, buddy, I.

2202
01:49:47,560 --> 01:49:50,280

01:49:50,280 --> 01:49:53,600
Speaker 7: have a nickel. But thanks nonetheless. Game three of the

2219
01:50:39,960 --> 01:50:44,040
Speaker 9: The referee waved his arms saying no. The Golden Knights

2220
01:50:44,479 --> 01:50:45,120

2242
01:51:51,439 --> 01:51:54,960
Speaker 2: I'm curious what NFL change would you like to see most.

2243
01:51:55,280 --> 01:51:57,840
Speaker 4: I think it's almost the biggest and easiest one. I rule,

2244
01:51:57,880 --> 01:52:00,000
Speaker 4: I like to see changes that the face mask grooviw.

2245
01:52:00,600 --> 01:52:03,679
Speaker 4: I mean last season there were so many missed calls

2246
01:52:04,080 --> 01:52:06,639
Speaker 4: that maybe even change the game. I mean, the boots

2247
01:52:06,640 --> 01:52:09,000
Speaker 4: should be able to do a review a face mask call.

2248
01:52:09,720 --> 01:52:12,640
Speaker 4: It isn't really a judgment call like a pass interference,

2249
01:52:12,680 --> 01:52:14,960
Speaker 4: And some of these are so obvious and missed that

2250
01:52:15,000 --> 01:52:19,120
Speaker 4: it's really frustrating that you know, they just can't just

2251
01:52:19,120 --> 01:52:21,840
Speaker 4: review and make this right or wrong call. This is

2252
01:52:21,880 --> 01:52:24,640
Speaker 4: an easy fix, though, I hope the NFL doesn't. I

2253
01:52:24,680 --> 01:52:26,840
Speaker 4: mean this is I think Jeff mentioned it about the

2254
01:52:26,840 --> 01:52:30,280
Speaker 4: face mask call. I mean the face mask review. Really

2255
01:52:31,040 --> 01:52:33,200
Speaker 4: that that could be reviewed in the booth. But how

2256
01:52:33,280 --> 01:52:36,719
Speaker 4: much technical do we want to get? How people don't

2257
01:52:36,840 --> 01:52:39,840
Speaker 4: like change, people don't like the booth reviews, people don't

2258
01:52:39,880 --> 01:52:42,000
Speaker 4: like But I just think the god you want to

2259
01:52:42,000 --> 01:52:42,679
Speaker 4: get the call.

2260
01:52:42,560 --> 01:52:44,439
Speaker 3: Right, and I think they like it if it happens

2261
01:52:44,479 --> 01:52:47,960
Speaker 3: in a timely manner, Like you watch its correct, you

2262
01:52:47,960 --> 01:52:50,200
Speaker 3: watch the NBA posts in these reviews, you're like, what

2263
01:52:50,880 --> 01:52:53,040
Speaker 3: is taking so long? Well, what are we doing on

2264
01:52:53,040 --> 01:52:55,840
Speaker 3: that headset? And like that. I think the NFL again

2265
01:52:55,880 --> 01:52:59,400
Speaker 3: has done a really good job of streamlining the review process,

2266
01:52:59,479 --> 01:53:02,200
Speaker 3: or it doesn't fee like it's such so tedious to

2267
01:53:02,880 --> 01:53:05,599
Speaker 3: have these reviews that they're needed, right.

2268
01:53:05,840 --> 01:53:08,559
Speaker 2: That's what I love most about Replay Assist is it's

2269
01:53:08,600 --> 01:53:12,400
Speaker 2: been quick. It's been fast. It's like the official basically

2270
01:53:12,400 --> 01:53:16,479
Speaker 2: has a bluetooth in his ear. Yeah, and they're like, yeah, yeah, dude,

2271
01:53:16,479 --> 01:53:19,880
Speaker 2: that was a face mask. Okay, face mask, yeah, and

2272
01:53:19,920 --> 01:53:22,320
Speaker 2: on with life. So as long as it's quick, yeah,

2273
01:53:22,320 --> 01:53:25,080
Speaker 2: I would love to see more replay Assist, more Sky

2274
01:53:25,160 --> 01:53:27,760
Speaker 2: Judge type stuff. For the obvious stuff. I think it's

2275
01:53:27,800 --> 01:53:29,880
Speaker 2: the dumbest thing ever. If you're watching at home and

2276
01:53:29,920 --> 01:53:33,439
Speaker 2: it takes one replay and you're like, Sam Darnold was

2277
01:53:33,479 --> 01:53:36,080
Speaker 2: just tackled by his face mask in the end zone.

2278
01:53:36,280 --> 01:53:39,400
Speaker 2: That should be a penalty, and there's no system in

2279
01:53:39,439 --> 01:53:42,080
Speaker 2: place to be able to change that. It's dumb. So yeah,

2280
01:53:42,080 --> 01:53:43,960
Speaker 2: I'm with you guys on that you'll hate these, Jeff,

2281
01:53:44,000 --> 01:53:48,160
Speaker 2: I would also like to see you know, see on record.

2282
01:53:48,280 --> 01:53:50,920
Speaker 2: It's the dumbest thing ever that a wild card team

2283
01:53:51,280 --> 01:53:54,400
Speaker 2: has four more wins than a division winner, yet the

2284
01:53:54,439 --> 01:53:57,080
Speaker 2: wildcard team is on the road. Shouldn't be like that.

2285
01:53:57,800 --> 01:54:00,519
Speaker 2: And the one that drives me to crazy easiest because

2286
01:54:00,520 --> 01:54:04,000
Speaker 2: it makes no shred of sense is a fumble out

2287
01:54:04,000 --> 01:54:06,240
Speaker 2: of the end zone the other team just automatically gets

2288
01:54:06,280 --> 01:54:08,559
Speaker 2: the ball at the twenty. That's the dumbest thing ever.

2289
01:54:08,840 --> 01:54:11,439
Speaker 2: You want the ball, recover the ball. I would love

2290
01:54:11,479 --> 01:54:13,639
Speaker 2: to see that change be made. I've been screaming about

2291
01:54:13,640 --> 01:54:15,800
Speaker 2: that for years. Hopefully I don't have to scream about

2292
01:54:15,800 --> 01:54:22,120
Speaker 2: that for many more years. It should. Your guess as

2293
01:54:22,160 --> 01:54:24,000
Speaker 2: good as mine if it's going to but it should.

Speaker 2: of the Hour, Mike Harmon, Dan Beyer, they have got

2320
01:55:54,600 --> 01:55:57,960
Speaker 2: you covered less than ten minutes from now. Keep it

2321
01:55:57,960 --> 01:56:00,840
Speaker 2: locked here on Fox Sports Radio. I've got some picks

2322
01:56:00,840 --> 01:56:01,800
Speaker 2: to make. Let's do it.

2323
01:56:05,040 --> 01:56:05,920
Speaker 1: Rapid fire.

2324
01:56:07,600 --> 01:56:10,040
Speaker 2: Okay, crack, we start with you with something you like.

2325
01:56:10,360 --> 01:56:12,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm gonna well, I feel like a sucker doing this.

2326
01:56:12,920 --> 01:56:17,960
Speaker 4: But after a twenty one zero game yesterday, I am

2327
01:56:18,040 --> 01:56:21,200
Speaker 4: going to that San Diego game. Not going to the game,

2328
01:56:21,200 --> 01:56:24,160
Speaker 4: but I'm going to that alternative line on bet MGM

2329
01:56:24,640 --> 01:56:27,879
Speaker 4: the over six and a half minus a dollar sixty.

2330
01:56:28,360 --> 01:56:30,240
Speaker 4: Laying some wood today on a couple of things I

2331
01:56:30,240 --> 01:56:33,360
Speaker 4: don't usually like doing that. Let's go with that. After

2332
01:56:33,400 --> 01:56:36,000
Speaker 4: that twenty one zero football game yesterday.

2333
01:56:37,360 --> 01:56:39,000
Speaker 3: I like it. I like it. I've done every day

2334
01:56:39,040 --> 01:56:43,680
Speaker 3: this year. Fade the Rockies. Yeah, six and thirty three

2335
01:56:43,720 --> 01:56:48,720
Speaker 3: if I'm correct on that. So yeah, not not great.

2336
01:56:49,200 --> 01:56:51,600
Speaker 3: All right, Let's get to some of these player props

2337
01:56:51,640 --> 01:56:54,440
Speaker 3: I like I talked earlier. Look, I'm I'm back on

2338
01:56:54,800 --> 01:57:00,720
Speaker 3: Yolkis today. Where's the here goo player combost find oh?

2339
01:57:01,080 --> 01:57:03,760
Speaker 3: I have points and rebounds over forty one and a half.

2340
01:57:03,960 --> 01:57:06,040
Speaker 3: It was forty two and a half. Last game, I

2341
01:57:06,160 --> 01:57:09,040
Speaker 3: had thirty six and immediately did not play well. I

2342
01:57:09,200 --> 01:57:12,160
Speaker 3: like Hallie Burn today over thirty one and a half points,

2343
01:57:12,160 --> 01:57:15,760
Speaker 3: rebounds and assist. That was a horrendous performance from him

2344
01:57:16,000 --> 01:57:18,800
Speaker 3: in Game three. I just have to think pridefully. He's

2345
01:57:18,840 --> 01:57:20,720
Speaker 3: coming back and playing a little bit better there. And

2346
01:57:20,760 --> 01:57:22,240
Speaker 3: the other one. I like, I'm gonna pull up the

2347
01:57:22,320 --> 01:57:26,640
Speaker 3: right number here. I like the Stars to score first

2348
01:57:26,680 --> 01:57:29,840
Speaker 3: today they host the Jets. They just lost four nothing.

2349
01:57:30,560 --> 01:57:33,440
Speaker 3: The team that has lost the previous game has scored

2350
01:57:33,440 --> 01:57:36,680
Speaker 3: the first goal in thirty of forty five games in

2351
01:57:36,720 --> 01:57:40,280
Speaker 3: the NHL postseason so far. Not the team. Okay, there's

2352
01:57:40,320 --> 01:57:42,720
Speaker 3: there's two options here, this team to score goal, first

2353
01:57:42,720 --> 01:57:44,800
Speaker 3: goal in the first period. I'm not hating that one.

2354
01:57:44,840 --> 01:57:46,879
Speaker 3: There's just team to score the first goal in regulation.

2355
01:57:47,520 --> 01:57:49,120
Speaker 3: Minus won thirty five for the Stars.

2356
01:57:50,760 --> 01:57:53,640
Speaker 2: Okay, there's so much. I like, I'm not gonna give

2357
01:57:53,640 --> 01:57:55,920
Speaker 2: you everything, but I'll give you a couple. How about

2358
01:57:56,200 --> 01:58:00,280
Speaker 2: are you interested, Jeff in a non zig zag play? Oh,

2359
01:58:00,520 --> 01:58:03,200
Speaker 2: we loved the zig zag approach, but a non zigzag

2360
01:58:03,840 --> 01:58:09,800
Speaker 2: ty Jerome, You're terrible. Yes, he's been brutal for the

2361
01:58:09,840 --> 01:58:12,920
Speaker 2: Cavs the last two games. He's two for his last

2362
01:58:12,960 --> 01:58:16,880
Speaker 2: twenty two shots from the field. Yeah, it's that bad.

2363
01:58:16,920 --> 01:58:19,280
Speaker 2: In the last game, he only played thirteen minutes because

2364
01:58:19,640 --> 01:58:22,720
Speaker 2: he's not doing anything offensively and the Pacers are hunting

2365
01:58:22,840 --> 01:58:25,960
Speaker 2: him when he's on the defensive end. So under nine

2366
01:58:25,960 --> 01:58:29,200
Speaker 2: and a half points is something that I've got, you know,

2367
01:58:29,240 --> 01:58:33,840
Speaker 2: in my back pocket here today. I like that. I

2368
01:58:33,880 --> 01:58:37,320
Speaker 2: also think it's a great zigzag spot for Jokic over

2369
01:58:37,400 --> 01:58:40,000
Speaker 2: twenty seven and a half points, I think he plays

2370
01:58:40,080 --> 01:58:44,480
Speaker 2: much better today. Jimmy buckets. He's got no choice but

2371
01:58:44,600 --> 01:58:47,840
Speaker 2: to score, you know what I mean, Like, what do

2372
01:58:47,880 --> 01:58:51,520
Speaker 2: the Warriors have offensively beyond him? Not a whole lot.

2373
01:58:52,600 --> 01:58:55,360
Speaker 2: So I like over twenty six and a half points tomorrow,

2374
01:58:55,400 --> 01:58:59,040
Speaker 2: I think makes a lot of sense. Here's a risky

2375
01:58:59,160 --> 01:59:02,800
Speaker 2: zigzag play. You might like this, Jeff and crack. Donovan

2376
01:59:02,800 --> 01:59:06,080
Speaker 2: Mitchell has gone crazy the first three games of this

2377
01:59:06,160 --> 01:59:09,920
Speaker 2: series against the Pacers. At what point does Rick Carlile

2378
01:59:10,000 --> 01:59:13,840
Speaker 2: blitz him, double him, do something to prevent him from

2379
01:59:13,880 --> 01:59:17,960
Speaker 2: absolutely torching? Now could happen in Game four. So under

2380
01:59:18,000 --> 01:59:21,280
Speaker 2: twenty nine and a half that's risky, but I mean

2381
01:59:21,320 --> 01:59:24,800
Speaker 2: it's possibitions.

2382
01:59:24,560 --> 01:59:27,520
Speaker 3: As well as were like I'd rather be, I'd rather would.

2383
01:59:27,640 --> 01:59:28,840
Speaker 3: I don't want to be on that side. I don't

2384
01:59:28,840 --> 01:59:30,000
Speaker 3: want to be in the game, Rudy for not to

2385
01:59:30,040 --> 01:59:30,840
Speaker 3: score points.

2386
01:59:31,480 --> 01:59:34,120
Speaker 2: I hear you. Nothing wrong with passing on that. All right,

2387
01:59:34,160 --> 01:59:36,120
Speaker 2: we're not passing on Cracks. Play of the day. Let's

2388
01:59:36,120 --> 01:59:36,440
Speaker 2: do this.

2389
01:59:38,320 --> 01:59:40,480
Speaker 1: This is the best play of the day.

2390
01:59:40,960 --> 01:59:43,840
Speaker 2: The man, all right, Crack, what do you have for us?

2391
01:59:44,080 --> 01:59:46,600
Speaker 4: All right? Baseball season? You know, I really don't like

2392
01:59:46,640 --> 01:59:48,560
Speaker 4: to go anything more than a unit, So let's let's

2393
01:59:48,600 --> 01:59:51,360
Speaker 4: stick with the same units as I did earlier. Washington

2394
01:59:51,440 --> 01:59:53,800
Speaker 4: first five. Let's go with the Phillies tonight. Give you

2395
01:59:53,840 --> 01:59:56,440
Speaker 4: some night action. Philly is laying about a buck seventy

2396
01:59:56,440 --> 01:59:57,240
Speaker 4: bucks seventy three.

2397
01:59:58,400 --> 02:00:02,120
Speaker 2: Okay, Philly, let's get after it. Everybody enjoyed the day.

2398
02:00:02,480 --> 02:00:04,920
Speaker 2: Happy mother's date. All the moms out there, have a

2399
02:00:04,920 --> 02:00:05,360
Speaker 2: great one.
