1
00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:11,600
Speaker 1: This is Straight Fire with Jason McIntyre. What is up?

2
00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:16,680
Speaker 1: Straight Fire? Fam, It's me Jason McIntire, Straight Fire or Wednesday,

3
00:00:16,880 --> 00:00:20,840
Speaker 1: October six, the little midweek fun. But I come in

4
00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:24,560
Speaker 1: bearing bad news. This is not good. Uh, there's no

5
00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:26,759
Speaker 1: really way to slice it. Start to break this to

6
00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:29,200
Speaker 1: you early in the morning. But my New York Yankees

7
00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:33,400
Speaker 1: have been eliminated from the postseason. And uh, a bit

8
00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:36,160
Speaker 1: of a Debbie downer for me to start the baseball

9
00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:39,080
Speaker 1: postseason my Yanks get eliminated. Obviously, you guys know I

10
00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:42,159
Speaker 1: was born in New York. Um, weirdly, I picked the

11
00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:45,720
Speaker 1: Jets and Yankees. Usually when you're a New Yorker you

12
00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:50,559
Speaker 1: pick Giants and Yankees, Jets and Mets. I don't know.

13
00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:53,080
Speaker 1: That's what I'm told from New Yorkers, Like, how did

14
00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:56,520
Speaker 1: you get to like jetson Yankees? It's an easy one. Um.

15
00:00:56,680 --> 00:00:58,200
Speaker 1: We moved out of New York when I was young,

16
00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:02,320
Speaker 1: and I've never been to follow the crowd. Guy. Um,

17
00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:04,679
Speaker 1: the dads who know me where I live now know that, like,

18
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:07,840
Speaker 1: I'm kind of against the grain wherever. Oh, everybody loves

19
00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:09,640
Speaker 1: to go to this this, this bar, this bar is

20
00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:12,160
Speaker 1: so cool. I once there once, I was like, I'm

21
00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:14,759
Speaker 1: not doing this place sucks. Um I just I don't

22
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:16,959
Speaker 1: like to do what everyone else is doing. Help me

23
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:20,440
Speaker 1: with gambling. Um helped me in many ways, actually going

24
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:23,480
Speaker 1: against the grain and doing something different. Um So I

25
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:25,760
Speaker 1: picked the Jets when the Giants were good, Phil Simms

26
00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:28,000
Speaker 1: was like dominating in the eighties. I think they won

27
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:31,840
Speaker 1: two Super Bowls with Bill Parcels. Um So I picked

28
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:34,440
Speaker 1: the Jets and then the Yankees. Listen, they were not

29
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:36,920
Speaker 1: good in the mid eighties. Guys, don Madden lose my

30
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:38,959
Speaker 1: favorite player. Remember the Mets. They won a World Series

31
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:41,559
Speaker 1: in the eighties, memorable World Series with the Red Sox,

32
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:44,919
Speaker 1: Bill Buckner moment. Um So I went opposite and um

33
00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:46,679
Speaker 1: I picked the bad teams and they were bad for

34
00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:49,200
Speaker 1: a long time. Of course, the Yankees quickly turned it around,

35
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:52,880
Speaker 1: uh in the nineties and were utterly dominant. But uh yeah,

36
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:55,280
Speaker 1: just disappointing for me. Listen, I'll still be obviously a

37
00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:59,240
Speaker 1: Dodgers fan tonight, very excited for the Dodgers. They need

38
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:01,120
Speaker 1: to win. And it's funny because you guys know, I

39
00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:04,080
Speaker 1: host a pick up basketball game and I sent out

40
00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:08,400
Speaker 1: the text, Hey, uh we do a hoops Susan Wednesday,

41
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:12,800
Speaker 1: and um, I got multiple responses saying I can't do

42
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:15,160
Speaker 1: it go into the Dodgers game, and it felt kind

43
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:17,079
Speaker 1: of like a flex, you know, like, hey man, I'd

44
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:20,000
Speaker 1: love to play basketball, it's so fun, but I've got

45
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:23,840
Speaker 1: to go watch a postseason baseball game at Chevez Ravine. So, uh,

46
00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:27,519
Speaker 1: good luck to the Dodgers, Tony obviously, Uh, Dodgers, I

47
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:30,240
Speaker 1: guess might they would be my second favorite team, um,

48
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:32,680
Speaker 1: after the Yanks. I do not like the Red Sox

49
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:36,600
Speaker 1: at all. I will be rooting against them throughout the postseason. Uh,

50
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:39,359
Speaker 1: you could even say vehemently against them. Um, I'm not

51
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:41,800
Speaker 1: gonna be gambling against them because I I just haven't

52
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:46,000
Speaker 1: followed MLB gambling that closely this season. Um. All my

53
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:49,160
Speaker 1: focus is NFL college football. We'll get to that. Um

54
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:51,639
Speaker 1: a couple of just a couple of stories that um,

55
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:54,880
Speaker 1: I'm gonna dig in today. We have a guest later

56
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:57,360
Speaker 1: for tomorrow who does some NFL gambling and a lot

57
00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:00,840
Speaker 1: of baseball analytic gambling. And then for Friday, We've got

58
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:03,480
Speaker 1: lined up a great guest from last year. I'm not

59
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:06,920
Speaker 1: gonna spoil it, but um, he is big in the

60
00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:09,560
Speaker 1: gambling space. Let's just say that. And obviously football is

61
00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:12,120
Speaker 1: his forte and we have a lot of experience together,

62
00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:15,880
Speaker 1: so that'll be fun. But I I don't know about you, guys.

63
00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:18,040
Speaker 1: I personally think and I and I just wait for

64
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:19,960
Speaker 1: my good NFL nugget. I don't think it's out there

65
00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:22,919
Speaker 1: anywhere yet. It's just a fun oddity that I found.

66
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:27,080
Speaker 1: We'll get to that later, but I just this Kyrie

67
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:30,560
Speaker 1: Irving story to me is massive. Did you guys, if

68
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:32,560
Speaker 1: you missed it late last night? It kind of popped

69
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:37,120
Speaker 1: um maybe when people were watching Yankees Red Sox. The

70
00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:41,840
Speaker 1: Brooklyn Nets remain unclear on Kyrie Irving's ultimate intentions to

71
00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:45,800
Speaker 1: get vaccinated. Okay, we knew that, right they they they've

72
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:48,440
Speaker 1: been saying for a long time. Oh, he's gonna get it.

73
00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:51,080
Speaker 1: It's good, we got a plan in place. Were good.

74
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:55,800
Speaker 1: Here we are on the cusp of the preseason, and

75
00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:59,120
Speaker 1: now they're saying they don't know about his intentions to

76
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:03,320
Speaker 1: get vaccinated. And the second part is really interesting. And

77
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:06,360
Speaker 1: the Nets have made no decision on whether the organization

78
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:10,480
Speaker 1: will accommodate him as a part time player this season.

79
00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:17,400
Speaker 1: Boy oh, nell, Now it gets interesting. Part time players.

80
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:20,240
Speaker 1: So obviously the rule, and listen, we're not gonna go

81
00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:24,200
Speaker 1: over the rule. And whether it's stupid or whatever, listen,

82
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:30,120
Speaker 1: in New York and the Bay Area, they're making the

83
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:34,560
Speaker 1: athletes get vaccinated. Okay, that's that's just how it is.

84
00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:40,280
Speaker 1: Andrew Wiggins, um of the Golden State Wars, came out strongly,

85
00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:43,840
Speaker 1: I'm not getting the vats. I'm not gonna we're gonna

86
00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:45,760
Speaker 1: cut your pay and take away a lot of money.

87
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:48,400
Speaker 1: You're just not gonna get paychecks. Okay, I get the vacts.

88
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:51,440
Speaker 1: And then Wiggins came out and was like, oh, I'm

89
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:52,920
Speaker 1: the only one of my family who got the vacts.

90
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:54,520
Speaker 1: Like what are you doing? Are you trying to brag?

91
00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:57,880
Speaker 1: Is that like something you're proud of. At any rate,

92
00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:01,839
Speaker 1: if you are playing for the for the Warriors or

93
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:04,200
Speaker 1: the nets of the Knicks, you have to get vaccinated

94
00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:07,080
Speaker 1: per the local rules. They are making some exemptions. But

95
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:10,600
Speaker 1: if you read between the lines at what the elected

96
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:13,599
Speaker 1: officials are saying, they're not making exemptions for Kyrie Irving,

97
00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:15,960
Speaker 1: even though he lives in New Jersey so he could

98
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:19,840
Speaker 1: play that well on technically you know, uh, technically not

99
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:22,640
Speaker 1: a New York resident, I mean New Jersey it's just

100
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:25,840
Speaker 1: nothing's working. At least that's so far what the case is.

101
00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:30,760
Speaker 1: So Nicks, fully vaccinated Warriors, fully vaccinated Kyrie is the

102
00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:34,120
Speaker 1: last hold up. This is where it gets interesting. They

103
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:36,240
Speaker 1: were going to start docking him money. Are you guys

104
00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:40,080
Speaker 1: ready for these numbers? For every misstome game he will

105
00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:45,599
Speaker 1: lose three hundred eight dollars. Now you could say he's

106
00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:48,160
Speaker 1: got a ton of money, who cares, and he gets

107
00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:52,440
Speaker 1: to play in the away games and get paid. Okay,

108
00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:54,920
Speaker 1: this is simply what he's losing for two preseason home

109
00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:58,320
Speaker 1: games seven hundred and sixty two k forty one home

110
00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:03,359
Speaker 1: games fifteen point six million dollars. Can't play in the

111
00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:08,720
Speaker 1: two games at Madison Square Garden seven sixty two dollars.

112
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:14,720
Speaker 1: And then it gets interesting, Well, what happens if the

113
00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:17,120
Speaker 1: Nets make the playoffs. But they're gonna make the playoffs,

114
00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:18,800
Speaker 1: are probably the team to beat with the big three,

115
00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:21,839
Speaker 1: They're probably still one of the two or three best

116
00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:27,239
Speaker 1: teams even with just Harden and Duran Well Kim Kyrie

117
00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:31,039
Speaker 1: evering play in the road games and then not show

118
00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:34,080
Speaker 1: up for the home games. You would think that, But

119
00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:37,400
Speaker 1: now the Nets coming out and saying we don't know

120
00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:39,800
Speaker 1: if we're going to accommodate him as a part time player. Folks,

121
00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:43,800
Speaker 1: remember this is a big three that barely played together

122
00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 1: last year. They don't have the minutes together. I mean,

123
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:48,400
Speaker 1: if you listen to Duranne, he's like, you know, we

124
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:50,240
Speaker 1: just we didn't have a lot of time together last year.

125
00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:52,400
Speaker 1: We didn't get to play. Well, how is that going

126
00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:55,000
Speaker 1: to work now? If Kyrie is like a half half

127
00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:58,320
Speaker 1: teammate and he's not playing a lot I this is

128
00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:01,160
Speaker 1: not gonna end well, guys, it's not going well for

129
00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:02,840
Speaker 1: Kyrie Irving if he doesn't want to get the vacts

130
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:05,000
Speaker 1: and listen, you guys can say, hey, you shouldn't get it,

131
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:08,400
Speaker 1: fine to do it, but guess what the NETS can

132
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:10,000
Speaker 1: also say, you don't want to get the vacs. We

133
00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:14,080
Speaker 1: don't want a part time player. Piece. Now, obviously the

134
00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:18,080
Speaker 1: UH players what is it called the players Association, they

135
00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:21,200
Speaker 1: would try to step in and defend Kyrie Irving. But

136
00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:24,880
Speaker 1: this is a NETS big three that in the regular

137
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:29,160
Speaker 1: season played two and two minutes in eight games together.

138
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:33,480
Speaker 1: That's it. Any playoffs and it was against Boston they

139
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:36,400
Speaker 1: played a hundred and thirty minutes together. That's it. It's

140
00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:38,040
Speaker 1: not like you can just say, let's roll out the

141
00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:40,840
Speaker 1: ball and play. They're gonna be fine. They actually need

142
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:42,480
Speaker 1: to work together like that. I know that they have

143
00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:44,800
Speaker 1: the best three players, I get it. But if there's

144
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:49,560
Speaker 1: no practice time, Uh, they don't get along on the court. Uh,

145
00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:53,080
Speaker 1: they're not working with Steve Nash. This could easily go awry.

146
00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:57,240
Speaker 1: So now it sounds like the Nets are pushing back

147
00:07:57,240 --> 00:07:59,000
Speaker 1: and saying, dude, we don't think we want you as

148
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:01,680
Speaker 1: a part time player. We would be better off bringing

149
00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:05,240
Speaker 1: in I don't know anyone who's gonna be a full

150
00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:08,320
Speaker 1: time player on the team. Who's gonna travel, Uh, who's

151
00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:11,440
Speaker 1: gonna participate in some of the practices and the workouts

152
00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:13,680
Speaker 1: and the build a camaraderie and the chemistry and the culture.

153
00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:19,280
Speaker 1: According to this story from Wodan Windhorse, if Irving remains unvaccinated,

154
00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:22,400
Speaker 1: the Nets could be faced with the decision on whether

155
00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:25,600
Speaker 1: they'll allow him to come and go with the team

156
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:29,720
Speaker 1: or just keep him sideline altogether. Now, again, this is

157
00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:36,280
Speaker 1: gonna unravel quickly. Um, the season is rapidly approaching. And again,

158
00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:38,480
Speaker 1: you've always got to be careful what you wish for.

159
00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:41,920
Speaker 1: Remember a couple of years ago, and I remember it

160
00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:45,120
Speaker 1: NBA trade. Um, you know, free agency was nuts and

161
00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:47,640
Speaker 1: I was at Cowherd's house. Were back when he lived

162
00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:50,800
Speaker 1: close to me two years ago and he moved recently. Um,

163
00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:53,640
Speaker 1: and we're watching free agency unfold. It's like on I

164
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:58,240
Speaker 1: think it was on a Sunday and it might have no, no,

165
00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:01,199
Speaker 1: it was. It was the eight free agency because I

166
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:04,800
Speaker 1: remember there was an I think an NFL game. Um.

167
00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:08,600
Speaker 1: At any rate, we're watching it unfold, and you know,

168
00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:13,840
Speaker 1: as expected, Kyrie and ran to the nets, and it's like, okay,

169
00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:15,839
Speaker 1: all right, they got in bed with a guy who

170
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:20,000
Speaker 1: ditched Lebron and walked away from Brad Stevens. And now

171
00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:24,800
Speaker 1: he's pulling everybody together and it's slowly has never gotten

172
00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:29,640
Speaker 1: better in Brooklyn. He's been hurt, k D was hurt.

173
00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:35,920
Speaker 1: They bring on Harden, Kyrie gets hurt, Harden's hurt. It

174
00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:40,080
Speaker 1: never really has come together. And Kyrie's changed as a person.

175
00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:43,080
Speaker 1: I listen, we all change, you know, I've changed significantly.

176
00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:45,760
Speaker 1: I'm sure my kids would say have changed from the

177
00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:47,640
Speaker 1: last five years. My wife would say have changed in

178
00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:49,679
Speaker 1: the last ten years. We were humans, we changed. We're

179
00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:52,719
Speaker 1: not gonna stay the same forever. But Kyrie's has been

180
00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:57,480
Speaker 1: a rapid change in the last like, I don't know,

181
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:01,840
Speaker 1: basically since he hit that game winning shot to beat

182
00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:04,120
Speaker 1: the Warriors in Gabe seven, I don't think he's been

183
00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:06,320
Speaker 1: the same dude. I don't know if it went to

184
00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:09,440
Speaker 1: his head or he was like, it's Jill Lebron's team

185
00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:11,400
Speaker 1: Lebron on the other But I don't know, and we'll

186
00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:13,400
Speaker 1: probably never know. He's just a different dude. That's tough

187
00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:17,120
Speaker 1: to understand. And I mean, can you imagine the NETS saying, hey,

188
00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:20,760
Speaker 1: we don't watch as a part time player, just sit out. Well. Well, also,

189
00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:26,760
Speaker 1: he's got the four year hundred and nineties seven million

190
00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:31,120
Speaker 1: dollar contract I'm sorry, four years d seven million contract extension.

191
00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:35,440
Speaker 1: He's eligible for it. And man, you just gotta wonder

192
00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:38,680
Speaker 1: how close is Kyrie irving to walking away from the

193
00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:42,480
Speaker 1: NBA at this point. He's he's clearly a different dude.

194
00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:45,599
Speaker 1: We pointed this out and you guys have scoffed. Oh,

195
00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:48,080
Speaker 1: check out Kyrie's Instagram. If you went to it, you

196
00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:49,680
Speaker 1: had no idea who he was. Oh what does this

197
00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:53,040
Speaker 1: guy do? You wouldn't think he's a basketball player? Does

198
00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:55,760
Speaker 1: he love basketball? And I don't want to pivot too

199
00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:59,640
Speaker 1: much to what's going on in sports media. But um,

200
00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:02,400
Speaker 1: you know the network that is not mine, uh, is

201
00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:04,480
Speaker 1: going through some stuff. And you know they're going through

202
00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:08,480
Speaker 1: a lot of unpleasant things too, a lot of people

203
00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:10,959
Speaker 1: I know, and it stinks. It's just not going well

204
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:14,280
Speaker 1: over there right now. And I don't know how to

205
00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:16,599
Speaker 1: put this delicately, but somebody smart told me when I

206
00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:20,360
Speaker 1: got in the industry, like, you know, you gotta love sports.

207
00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:23,679
Speaker 1: If you want to be in sports, you really gotta

208
00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:26,000
Speaker 1: like eat and breathe this stuff. And I get asked

209
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:28,600
Speaker 1: this by dad's all the time. So do you kind

210
00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:30,880
Speaker 1: of have to watch every single game? And obviously you

211
00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:35,400
Speaker 1: don't write, Um, Thursday night Jacksonville Bengals, do you have

212
00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:40,160
Speaker 1: to watch that? And not particularly this Thursday? I think

213
00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:43,120
Speaker 1: it's ram Seahawks. You gotta watch that one. Those are

214
00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:46,680
Speaker 1: two good teams, two great quarterbacks. Yeah, but you've gotta

215
00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:51,960
Speaker 1: love sports, like that's kind of a primary requirement for

216
00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:54,200
Speaker 1: being in sports and talking about on TV. And I

217
00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:56,079
Speaker 1: know people get bored of it and they want to

218
00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:59,920
Speaker 1: go off and do different things. Uh, And then they're

219
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:02,920
Speaker 1: kind of branching out off sports and getting into culture.

220
00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:05,480
Speaker 1: And then next thing, you know it's politics. And next thing,

221
00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:08,720
Speaker 1: you know, you're a huge audience that you've built because

222
00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:11,360
Speaker 1: you like sports and are giving interesting sports takes and

223
00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:15,960
Speaker 1: gambling and um quarterbacks and point guards and Lebron first

224
00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:18,240
Speaker 1: Jordan and all that stuff. All those people who liked

225
00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:21,520
Speaker 1: you for that are like, wait, what what are you

226
00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:28,079
Speaker 1: talking about? Congress what? Like, it's just you've gotta really

227
00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:29,559
Speaker 1: love sports. I mean, if you want to get out

228
00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:32,000
Speaker 1: of sports, that's fine, but it's tough to stay in

229
00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:34,200
Speaker 1: sports and not love sports. And I guess I bring

230
00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:37,960
Speaker 1: this up because you've kind of gotta wonder does Kyrie

231
00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:41,520
Speaker 1: Irving love basketball? I think it's a fair question, right,

232
00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:43,840
Speaker 1: I mean, they're paying him handsomely to dribble a ball,

233
00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:46,679
Speaker 1: put it through. Who be part of a team, build

234
00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:50,079
Speaker 1: a culture, trying to bring Brooklyn and championship. Right. If

235
00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:54,040
Speaker 1: you love basketball, you go ahead and get the vaccine

236
00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:58,400
Speaker 1: and you'll play basketball. If you don't really love basketball,

237
00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:01,679
Speaker 1: you don't want to comes or goes um and just

238
00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:04,240
Speaker 1: stay fine. I'm not gonna get the vaccine on principled

239
00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:07,040
Speaker 1: and that's fine. You can do that, but it doesn't

240
00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:08,760
Speaker 1: sound like you can have your cake and eat it too,

241
00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:13,760
Speaker 1: and I mean, maybe he's feeling emboldened by some NFL

242
00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:16,760
Speaker 1: players who either held out on the vaccine they haven't

243
00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:22,720
Speaker 1: gotten it, or um just uh, you know, I don't

244
00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:25,280
Speaker 1: really feel like revealing it, and the NFL isn't making

245
00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:27,200
Speaker 1: them because they don't live in New York or the

246
00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:32,000
Speaker 1: Bay Area. Um. But again, NFL's outdoors, NBA's indoors. There

247
00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:34,680
Speaker 1: are a lot of differences. I guess my big picture

248
00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:37,480
Speaker 1: thing here is I guess we'll find out shortly if

249
00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:42,120
Speaker 1: Kyrie Irving really loves basketball, because frankly, over the last

250
00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:43,920
Speaker 1: year and a half, I don't know that he does.

251
00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:46,920
Speaker 1: We know he's great at basketball. We know it's phenomenal talent.

252
00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:51,600
Speaker 1: Um me, probably a Hall of famer, I don't know.

253
00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:53,400
Speaker 1: I you know, I said that with someone else recently,

254
00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:55,360
Speaker 1: and what someone on I G was like, you gotta

255
00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:56,959
Speaker 1: think that over I don't think he's a Hall of Famer,

256
00:13:57,080 --> 00:13:58,560
Speaker 1: and I'm just torssing that out there. I don't have

257
00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:01,000
Speaker 1: I don't have the numbers in front of me. Kyrie Irving,

258
00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:04,559
Speaker 1: number one overall pick always hurt, did hit a big

259
00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:06,920
Speaker 1: shot in Game seven of the Finals. I don't think

260
00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:10,040
Speaker 1: he's ever been first team All NBA. He's all obviously

261
00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:13,320
Speaker 1: been all n B a um and everybody makes in

262
00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:15,040
Speaker 1: the NBA Hall of Fame anyway, So who cares. But

263
00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:20,040
Speaker 1: very very interesting situation for Kyrie Irving. And I'm not

264
00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:21,760
Speaker 1: going to fault him. If he wants to walk away, fine,

265
00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:25,640
Speaker 1: I get it. You don't love basketball, but um, Kyrie Irving,

266
00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:31,360
Speaker 1: like you know, the shoe sales, basketball movies, all that stuff,

267
00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:35,560
Speaker 1: that's gonna evaporate pretty quickly, and the window to maximize

268
00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:39,200
Speaker 1: that is now. Maybe you don't care and you give

269
00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:40,640
Speaker 1: all your money away and you want to do be

270
00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:43,720
Speaker 1: different whatever. That's fine, I get it, that's cool. I

271
00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:45,560
Speaker 1: just hope he can see the big picture. I hope

272
00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:47,680
Speaker 1: he's got the right people around him, because I mean,

273
00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:50,200
Speaker 1: that's that team could be special with him. Fox Sports

Speaker 1: s R to listen live. Let's quickly pivot to the NFL,

278
00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:06,760
Speaker 1: And ordinarily I would have opened talking about Urban Meyer's

279
00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:11,000
Speaker 1: situation in Jacksonville, but it's just so muddled. I don't

280
00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:12,960
Speaker 1: really know how much I can get into it. Obviously,

281
00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:17,040
Speaker 1: it looks like I was pretty wrong on Urban Meyer

282
00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:19,440
Speaker 1: in Jacksonville. I predicted in the preseason that this team

283
00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:23,160
Speaker 1: would win the division. I will point out, we have

284
00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:27,840
Speaker 1: to note divisions not over yet. Yes the Jags are

285
00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:32,320
Speaker 1: olling for Yes there are seventeen games, and yes the

286
00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:36,200
Speaker 1: leader of that division is two and two. Now every

287
00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:38,760
Speaker 1: team in the division as a negative point differential. The

288
00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:41,520
Speaker 1: Titans just lost to the winless Jets. I don't know

289
00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:43,560
Speaker 1: if the Texans are gonna win another game unless Tyrod

290
00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:46,520
Speaker 1: Taylor comes back. The Colts just gotta win, but they

291
00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:49,360
Speaker 1: are so injured, and the schedule does ease up, so

292
00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:52,600
Speaker 1: we know they're going to make a move. But Jacksonville

293
00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:56,200
Speaker 1: is not dead yet. Now they can rally, but they

294
00:15:56,360 --> 00:15:59,320
Speaker 1: absolutely have to beat the Titans. You can argue that

295
00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:03,280
Speaker 1: their sees and hangs in the balance on Sunday, and

296
00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:07,320
Speaker 1: the timing is kind of unfortunate given the week Urban

297
00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:09,320
Speaker 1: Myer's head and we're not gonna take a dive into

298
00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:12,880
Speaker 1: all that stuff. Um, it's really not worth it. UM.

299
00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:16,640
Speaker 1: I will point out I kind of sort of maybe

300
00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:22,800
Speaker 1: do like Jacksonville this week. The lines all over the place. Um,

301
00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:27,720
Speaker 1: when you if you can play the narratives and fade them.

302
00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:30,840
Speaker 1: In the NFL, you can have some success. Obviously, it's

303
00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:32,880
Speaker 1: not a tried and true. Listen, it's gonna be a

304
00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:37,360
Speaker 1: big one this week. Belichick versus rookie quarterback. Guess what

305
00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:39,960
Speaker 1: has happened with that line in Texans Patriots? It was

306
00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:44,080
Speaker 1: a ten on the look ahead. It's down to nine. Okay,

307
00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:47,600
Speaker 1: somebody out there is betting on the Houston Texans. And

308
00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:49,560
Speaker 1: I don't think it's a guy saying, hey, give me

309
00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:51,960
Speaker 1: give me fifty bucks on the Texans. I don't think

310
00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:54,040
Speaker 1: that's who's moving the line. You guys know how this works.

311
00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:57,960
Speaker 1: So some influential big money is on the Texans, But

312
00:16:58,280 --> 00:17:00,160
Speaker 1: who has the stomach to take them? They just got

313
00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:03,040
Speaker 1: shut out. We'll talk more about teams bouncing back from

314
00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:08,280
Speaker 1: shutouts later in the week, but the reality is fading

315
00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:11,480
Speaker 1: the narratives is a good move. Are the Texans gonna

316
00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:14,800
Speaker 1: win another game? Belichick? Rookie quarterbacks? Like everything lines up,

317
00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:20,400
Speaker 1: Patriots and roll to be careful. Um, Jacksonville is dead.

318
00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:24,720
Speaker 1: Irban Meyer's toast Jacksonville locker room does not like garban

319
00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:28,760
Speaker 1: Meyer all this stuff. Put it all together, and then

320
00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:32,359
Speaker 1: just remember You've got a bunch of guys in the

321
00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:36,520
Speaker 1: locker room there who are basically playing for jobs. They're

322
00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:40,440
Speaker 1: not gonna roll over and quit. It's not like Tennessee's

323
00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:43,720
Speaker 1: that good. They don't have that great of players offensively

324
00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:47,320
Speaker 1: without their top two receivers. Their center got hurt, their

325
00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:50,560
Speaker 1: left tackle was out, the secondary got exploited by Zach Wilson.

326
00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:52,480
Speaker 1: You don't think Trevor Lawrence can take advantage now, I

327
00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:55,240
Speaker 1: know he lost Chennault, and listen, it's one of these

328
00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:57,639
Speaker 1: I like to call them hold your nose plays. But

329
00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:01,239
Speaker 1: the Jacksonville Jaguars should have a chance. Now. Listen, if

330
00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:04,159
Speaker 1: they get stop thirty eight seven and they fall to

331
00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:08,280
Speaker 1: in five, it's sees it over and you may start

332
00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:12,440
Speaker 1: the clock with urban Meyer. Maybe that's what happens. Me personally,

333
00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:14,800
Speaker 1: I don't think it's gonna be a blood bath like that.

334
00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:17,399
Speaker 1: I would not be shocked at all. If Jacksonville want

335
00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:19,720
Speaker 1: I will probably put a little bit on the money

336
00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:24,240
Speaker 1: line Jacksonville to pull off the improbable win. The um

337
00:18:24,359 --> 00:18:28,439
Speaker 1: the troubled urban Meyer UH leaders rally, this is a

338
00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:30,280
Speaker 1: perfect game for Trevor Lawrence to just step up and

339
00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:33,400
Speaker 1: be like yo, I got this and to just go

340
00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:38,080
Speaker 1: ape ship on a joke of a Tennessee Titan secondary.

341
00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:42,520
Speaker 1: Remember the Bengals, who were three and one after beating

342
00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:45,440
Speaker 1: the Jacks, should have been down twenty one nothing at

343
00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:48,800
Speaker 1: home to the Jacks. So the Jacks can show up.

344
00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:51,720
Speaker 1: That was on a short week. They've got extra rest. Um,

345
00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:54,480
Speaker 1: you've got a divisional underdog, like, it's all aligning up.

346
00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:57,159
Speaker 1: I'm just I'm probably talking myself into Jacksonville, not in

347
00:18:57,200 --> 00:19:00,920
Speaker 1: the contest, but as a wager. Um. And you guys

348
00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:04,720
Speaker 1: know that contrarian plays do work, so fading that Urban

349
00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:08,320
Speaker 1: Meyer narrative could be a very slick move for you

350
00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:11,879
Speaker 1: this week. But that's not an easy one to play, guys.

351
00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:14,480
Speaker 1: So I'm just, uh, just putting that out there. I

352
00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:18,040
Speaker 1: guess I'll wrap up with one other interesting note in

353
00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:20,560
Speaker 1: the NFL before I get to my trend. And I'm

354
00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:23,640
Speaker 1: not a trend to gambler, um, but trends are interesting,

355
00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:29,360
Speaker 1: so it's worth looking at. Um. So, the Cowboys released

356
00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:38,680
Speaker 1: linebacker Jalen Smith, the former Notre Dame star, former pro bowler. Um.

357
00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:41,840
Speaker 1: He had that terrible injury in I think his leg

358
00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:45,240
Speaker 1: had nerve damage in a bowl game. A useless Bowl game,

359
00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:49,680
Speaker 1: and he fell in the draft, and um, Cowboys ended

360
00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:52,320
Speaker 1: up giving him a five year, sixty four million dollar

361
00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:55,679
Speaker 1: extension in and he got thirty five mill guaranteed. So

362
00:19:56,359 --> 00:19:59,400
Speaker 1: you know, uh, he's set and he's not. His career

363
00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:03,560
Speaker 1: is not over, but the Cowboys released him. I do

364
00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:08,280
Speaker 1: believe that is kind of interesting. Um, this defense, something's

365
00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:10,480
Speaker 1: going on here that I don't think many people anticipated.

366
00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:13,160
Speaker 1: They were good against the Panthers for a little while,

367
00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:16,360
Speaker 1: then the Panthers got some garbage time stuff. They absolutely

368
00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:20,880
Speaker 1: smothered the Eagles and Jalen Hurts they held up well

369
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:22,840
Speaker 1: kind of ben but don't break against the Chargers and

370
00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:27,320
Speaker 1: Justin Herbert, who obviously looks phenomenal. So I think there

371
00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:31,960
Speaker 1: are some interesting things to look at what this Cowboys defense.

372
00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:34,919
Speaker 1: Kian O'Neil is going to get back from the COVID

373
00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:39,399
Speaker 1: reserve list, the secondary is not playing as poorly as

374
00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:43,280
Speaker 1: expected because Trayvon Diggs has turned into Dion Sanders, and

375
00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:48,280
Speaker 1: you just wonder, Wow, what do Cowboys have some awesome

376
00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:51,000
Speaker 1: plan or is Smith washed? Probably not. They're looking to

377
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:53,040
Speaker 1: get out of the nine point two million dollar salary

378
00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:57,640
Speaker 1: that they owe him next year. UM, and I I've

379
00:20:57,640 --> 00:21:00,000
Speaker 1: gotta figure that Smith will find a landings about pretty quick.

380
00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:03,840
Speaker 1: The the the Broncos lost the linebacker, my Jets have

381
00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:06,200
Speaker 1: lost the linebacker. A lot of teams could use his

382
00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:09,880
Speaker 1: talented player. So I think Jalen Smith's surfaces somewhere. Um.

383
00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:11,440
Speaker 1: By the way, how about that call I had on

384
00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:14,920
Speaker 1: Notre Dame Cincinnati last week, Guys, Jalen Smith Notre Dame

385
00:21:15,119 --> 00:21:18,159
Speaker 1: Star Notre Dame is another one this week. But you know,

386
00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:21,760
Speaker 1: the season is basically over after that loss to SINC Bearcats.

387
00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:25,639
Speaker 1: Baby good. I started to look at college football and

388
00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:27,639
Speaker 1: I will get my PIX column. I gotta file that

389
00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:30,520
Speaker 1: later today for Fox Sports. That usually goes up Wednesday

390
00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:33,919
Speaker 1: night Thursday morning, and then the NFL picks Thursday night

391
00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:36,879
Speaker 1: Friday morning, something along those lines. But this is a

392
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:40,280
Speaker 1: much tougher week in gambling than last week. And uh

393
00:21:40,359 --> 00:21:44,080
Speaker 1: we'll dive more into it tomorrow. Fox Sports Radio has

Speaker 1: within the I Heart Radio app search f s R

397
00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:56,040
Speaker 1: to listen live. My final stat I wanted to save

398
00:21:56,080 --> 00:22:00,640
Speaker 1: it for the very end, so somebody much smarter than

399
00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:04,439
Speaker 1: me can analyze the schedule and and and kind of

400
00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:08,960
Speaker 1: help me understand why this is something. For whatever reason,

401
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:11,200
Speaker 1: I've talked about it with my buddy, Vick and Ryan

402
00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:14,760
Speaker 1: were on a text chain for gambling. For whatever reason,

403
00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:21,320
Speaker 1: four PM games see underdogs covering at a ridiculous rate.

404
00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:25,000
Speaker 1: I think there was something to it last year. But

405
00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:28,880
Speaker 1: this season, four PM underdogs. You know the games that's

406
00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:31,920
Speaker 1: the second slate of games that started four The underdogs

407
00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:34,439
Speaker 1: in those games are twelve and four against the spread.

408
00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:38,280
Speaker 1: They've gone three and one every week. And I charted

409
00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:41,440
Speaker 1: it because I you know, again, I'm a weirdo who's

410
00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:45,160
Speaker 1: looking for any edge. Now, why would this be? This

411
00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:48,639
Speaker 1: is where this is where the discussion gets interesting, Like

412
00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:52,760
Speaker 1: why are four o'clock underdogs hitting it such a ridiculous rate? Well,

413
00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:56,040
Speaker 1: Number one, you've got the teams out west, and we

414
00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:59,080
Speaker 1: know that the NFC West is the strongest division in

415
00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:01,280
Speaker 1: football in the a f C West is pretty damn

416
00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:08,880
Speaker 1: good as well. This past weekend you had, uh they

417
00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:11,960
Speaker 1: went three and one and then you're like, oh wow, well, Jason, okay,

418
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:14,880
Speaker 1: two things? Can that continue? Is there something weird in there?

419
00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:17,320
Speaker 1: Or is it gonna flip? Is the market going to

420
00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:20,439
Speaker 1: catch up with four PM underdogs. Here are the games

421
00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:23,320
Speaker 1: at four pm. I'm I'm based in l A. But

422
00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:25,320
Speaker 1: four pm is like, you know, the East Coast time,

423
00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:27,760
Speaker 1: because that's what I grew up calling the four the

424
00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:33,679
Speaker 1: seconds later games Chicago at Vegas. Vegas was seven on

425
00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:36,960
Speaker 1: the look ahead. It's down to five and a half. Okay,

426
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:41,119
Speaker 1: so there's some money on the Bears the underdog. The

427
00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:46,560
Speaker 1: next one Cleveland Chargers. This was a pick them, and

428
00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:49,159
Speaker 1: now it's out to one and a half. Chargers, Browns

429
00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:53,560
Speaker 1: the underdog there. I really like the Browns. I'm sorry

430
00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:57,240
Speaker 1: Charges fans, I just liked them in this spot. New

431
00:23:57,320 --> 00:24:02,080
Speaker 1: York Giants Dallas Cowboys look ahead line, Cowboys eight and

432
00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:04,600
Speaker 1: a half point favorites. It's down to seven. All the

433
00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:06,520
Speaker 1: money on the Giants, who have crushed it on the road.

434
00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:10,360
Speaker 1: That's a divisional matchup. And then another divisional matchup. San

435
00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:13,480
Speaker 1: Frey and Arizona. Now this one's fascinating because obviously Jimmy

436
00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:16,040
Speaker 1: G was baked into the look at headline as a

437
00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:18,080
Speaker 1: starter and Arizona was favored by two and a half.

438
00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:22,959
Speaker 1: Jimmy G out trade lance in Arizona beats the Rams.

439
00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:24,400
Speaker 1: The line has gone up from two and a half

440
00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:27,600
Speaker 1: to five and a half. So your four PM underdogs

441
00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:30,720
Speaker 1: where the season they're twelve and four against the spread

442
00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:36,240
Speaker 1: are the Chicago Bears and Matt Naggy and Justin Fields,

443
00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:41,480
Speaker 1: the Browns and Baker Mayfield, the Giants and Danny Dimes

444
00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:46,000
Speaker 1: and Joe Judge and the forty Niners, Kyle Shanahan and

445
00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:51,360
Speaker 1: Trade Lance. So your homework assignment kids, listen to this,

446
00:24:53,480 --> 00:24:56,520
Speaker 1: laugh at me for even monitoring four PM dogs, and

447
00:24:56,560 --> 00:24:58,680
Speaker 1: then tell me which of those three are more most

448
00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:03,320
Speaker 1: likely to cover this week. I'm leaning Browns. I know

449
00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:06,280
Speaker 1: people are gonna say San Francisco, but I I just

450
00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:10,320
Speaker 1: I can't. I can't do that. I can't, I can't

451
00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:13,040
Speaker 1: do I can't do San France. There's money on the

452
00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:15,960
Speaker 1: favorite that has pushed us up. Arizona is really good,

453
00:25:16,040 --> 00:25:18,479
Speaker 1: you know, I like them. It is a divisional matchup,

454
00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:23,040
Speaker 1: but and Shanahan's a great coach a lot. I think

455
00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:25,280
Speaker 1: the Giants are gonna be a square dog, right, everybody's

456
00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:26,840
Speaker 1: gonna be on the Giants. They just beat the Saints

457
00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:29,080
Speaker 1: on the road. Everybody, you know, we've been ahead of this.

458
00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:31,920
Speaker 1: We told you guys. Danny Dimes doesn't cover at home,

459
00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:34,280
Speaker 1: he covers on the road. We gave out the numbers

460
00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:38,240
Speaker 1: the last few weeks. What does Danny Dimes do? Boom

461
00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:42,080
Speaker 1: covers on the road. And now the public everybody's gonna

462
00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:43,679
Speaker 1: be on the Giants. My god, I would love to

463
00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:47,000
Speaker 1: Dallas there, but it's early and I have no read

464
00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:52,800
Speaker 1: on Bears and Raiders. As I said, I think I

465
00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:55,080
Speaker 1: said this yesterday I did. I had my best week

466
00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:57,359
Speaker 1: in the four million dollar contest four and one, and

467
00:25:58,080 --> 00:26:01,120
Speaker 1: in it, my four winds were all teams that lost

468
00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:03,240
Speaker 1: the week prior. You guys now how the markets work, right.

469
00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:06,359
Speaker 1: Teams that lose people don't really want to betar them again,

470
00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:10,199
Speaker 1: so maybe they're shaded a little bit their way. Well,

471
00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:16,360
Speaker 1: the Bears one, the Raiders lost, not ideal, Brown's one,

472
00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:21,680
Speaker 1: Chargers one, Giants wind, Cowboys one, Niners lost, Arizona one.

473
00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:24,040
Speaker 1: I'm the sharp play is going to be San fran

474
00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:26,399
Speaker 1: But I cannot do that one. So that means you

475
00:26:26,440 --> 00:26:29,080
Speaker 1: should do it because it'll hit anyways, too much gambling,

476
00:26:29,119 --> 00:26:31,240
Speaker 1: too much, NFL, too much. Kyrie Irving, we'll talk to

477
00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:31,719
Speaker 1: you tomorrow.
